The emperor ignored the thoughts of everyone in the audience, and he still held the peony. Fang Guifei was a little uneasy, she squeezed out a smile, obviously embarrassed: "Your Majesty, forget about this flower." Concubine, concubine is not outdated, your concubine is just a concubine, how can you be qualified to wear peony flowers? Besides, if the queen mother knew about this, she should feel uncomfortable. ”

The emperor didn't speak, but his face sank, and he said in a tough tone: "I really want you to wear it, I'll see who dares to have an opinion." The emperor glanced around the stage as he spoke, the ministers would not touch the emperor's head at such a time, and they immediately bowed their heads and said nothing, as if the table in front of them attracted their great attention.

Several ministers secretly exchanged a look in private, today the emperor attended the banquet of the courtiers, but it was not the queen but Fang Guifei, although it was said that Fang Guifei and Jinran, who did today's ceremony, had some relatives, but it was impossible to say without the queen, and the reason given by the emperor was not very convincing...... This Kyoto seems to be about to change, and it is not certain whose hands this throne will fall into.

The time when this dynasty was founded was not long, and there was not so much attention to the succession to the throne, and it has always been a sage, so what to say about the establishment of a successor does not exist in the Hua Dynasty itself, plus the emperor's obvious preference for this concubine family today...... Where did the king of a country come to the courtesy of a little county lord? Isn't it all because Sheng Jinran is Fang Guifei's brother-in-law?

Obviously, the four princes also thought the same way, his face was gloomy to the naked eye, he looked at Fang Guifei sitting on the stage from afar, she had already brought the peony, and she was shyly smiling at this time, and the emperor sitting next to Fang Guifei also smiled with satisfaction, and wrapped a strand of broken hair on the sideburns behind her ears for Fang Guifei.

Why! The four princes only have these three words in their hearts, they are also the emperor's women, why does the emperor care for this person whose life experience is not as good as that of his mother, Fang Guifei? If you say how affectionate the emperor is, why doesn't he even refuse to give him the position of queen to his beloved Fang Guifei? Instead, it was his mother, who was promoted to queen and gave birth to herself. If the emperor loves himself, it would be fine, but the emperor understands that he is biased towards the five princes!

The four princes looked at the five princes who walked to the ministers and talked harmoniously with the ministers, and their hearts were full of jealousy and hatred. I don't know what the five princes said, this group of ministers actually laughed at the face, and there was an old man who served in Dali Temple, and he had always been upright, and even patted the five princes on the shoulder approvingly, and the five princes cooperated to give a shy smile, which seemed to be extremely embarrassed to be praised.

The five princes looked at the emperor's side, and sure enough, the emperor was looking at the five princes with an approving look, he kept nodding his head, and at first glance he was extremely satisfied with the performance of the five princes. The fourth prince slowly tightened his hand holding the wine glass, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Why, why? Why is he and the fifth prince the same prince, he just talked and chatted with a few ministers at his wedding banquet a few days ago, and was deposed by the emperor and asked him to go home to reflect, and even a few nails that he originally planned to plant in the household department were quietly thrown out by the emperor?

The emperor also used the same trick as he did against the queen, lying that his son was sick and could not enter the ministry to do things, and the forces he had worked so hard to cultivate were almost wiped out by the five princes and one party in the past few days! And what about the emperor? Why didn't he continue to be that fair father at this time? He ignored himself and let his good brother suppress him!

The fourth prince's eyes were resentful, he stared at the fifth prince who was chatting happily with a squire, the resentment in his eyes couldn't be hidden, and even the emperor who sat at the top couldn't help but look at it and frowned. The biggest shortcoming of his son is that he is too composed, and he thinks that he has been wronged by a trivial matter, and he can't wait for all the benefits to be taken by him.

When the queen mother's junior miss wanted to marry before, the four princes didn't care how many concubines and concubines they had married, so they had to follow suit, and the queen also followed a piece to shoot at the young lady, when the queen mother told the emperor, the emperor didn't believe it, but the facts didn't allow him not to believe it.

Now that the emperor is also old, such a huge country, only the five princes under his knees can be entrusted with the stability of the five princes, and the other few are not deliberately picked by the emperor to thorn them, they are all not stable enough, and they are more than enough to jump, although it is enough to put it in ordinary people to be the heir of a merchant or a few officials, but what the emperor wants to entrust to them is the country! It was because the emperor had a hint of soft-heartedness and luck

And the fourth child has always been fighting cocks to find trouble with the five princes, even if the emperor wants to save a small life of the four princes, he has to take a good look at the temperament of the four princes in the few remaining days, just ask him not to go to the trouble of the new emperor after the five princes succeed to the throne in the future, and save a life.

The emperor's fatherly heart, the four princes don't know, he secretly grinded his teeth, and finally made up his mind, he turned his head and no longer looked at the figure of the five princes, but said to a little eunuch next to him who was hidden in the shadows and couldn't see his face: "Tell your master, I accepted his previous proposal, you can do it immediately, today is the only time for the emperor to leave the palace in the near future, and the emperor will return to the palace in one or two hours." ”

The little eunuch nodded almost invisibly, he pretended to clean up the overturned fruit bowl on the table, and after a short while, he walked out of the hall with the knocked fruits. Everyone in the hall laughed happily, and there was an endless stream of eunuchs and palace maids waiting around them, so no one noticed the small episode that happened in this corner.

On the other end, Jin Ran, who had just come down from the stage to change his clothes, was stopped by an uninvited guest when he returned to the courtyard where the banquet was held. This person is Xiao Qingyan, whom Jin Ran has not seen for a long time.

Xiao Qingyan is rare to dress up very luxuriously today, he is wearing this new purple robe, the robe is also covered with a soft smoke sewn blouse, and even the bottom of the blouse is embroidered with large and small auspicious cloud ornaments, each piece of auspicious cloud is not used common white silk thread, but silver filament as thin as fetal hair, although the silver filament is easy to obtain, but it is very rare to be thin like this.

Jin Ran felt a little strange in her heart, she didn't know much about Xiao Qingyan, but she also knew that Xiao Qingyan didn't wear these luxurious and gorgeous clothes, Su Ri's Xiao Qingyan's clothes were all close to Qingya's side, what light green, gray and blue robes, white jade glazed hair crown, this is his Su Ri's dress.

At first glance, Jin Ran looked like Xiao Qingyan dressed like this, but he didn't recognize him at the first time, without him, the difference between Xiao Qingyan and before is too great. Not only the change in his clothing, but his whole person has now decreased a lot, and his face, which was originally a little rounded, is now angular, and the knife-like downward shock not only did not make his appearance much inferior, but added a bit of coldness to him.

His eye sockets are deep-set, and his eyes are even brighter, and his inquiring gaze is like a sharp blade, straight into the most hidden and vulnerable places in your heart.

If the Xiao Qingyan that Jin Ran saw before was just a short dagger, now Xiao Qingyan is a sharp open-edged long knife, although the long knife is tightly wrapped and concealed by a scabbard, but everyone can still see the sharp light behind the hard scabbard.

"Young Master Xiao?" Jin Ran was a little strange, she just went to change her clothes in a hurry, in order to hurry to the hall to talk to Fang Tianji, she didn't wait for the maid behind her, she hurriedly ran out, in order to save time, Jin Ran also copied a few paths, so there was no one around her, now it was getting late, and there was not a lot of people walking around, Xiao Qingyan was still strange and scary to stop here.

Jin Ran was also taken aback when she saw this Xiao Qingyan, she was originally bowing her head and hurrying, but she bumped straight into Qiao Qingyan, it was she who hit someone, she was embarrassed to leave without saying anything, so she could only stop and say a few words.

"Xiao Gongzi, are you okay? I just walked and didn't care about anything else, just walked straight forward, I didn't expect to bump into you, does your arm hurt? If you have something to do, it's better to call the doctor over quickly. Jin Ran still remembers the last time she talked about business with Xiao Qingyan, Xiao Qingyan had a terrifying appearance of being calm and crazy, so she was a little cowardly, and she didn't dare to meet Xiao Qingyan's eyes when she spoke.

"What? How could the Lord of Jinrui, who is not afraid of heaven and earth, be scared of his courage today? Don't even dare to look at me? A joking voice came from the top of Jin Ran's head, it was Xiao Qingyan, he casually reached out and picked up a strand of Jin Ran's broken hair, he walked a few steps to Jin Ran's side, sniffed a few times of Jin Ran's hair and found it, and felt that his somewhat depressed mind was also broadened: "You haven't seen me for so long, and you treat me like this as soon as you meet?" ”

"What are you doing?" Jin Ran took a step back vigilantly, but she didn't expect that her hair was still in Xiao Qingyan's hand, and she pulled her scalp for a while, so painful that her eyes were full of tears, and almost instantly large tears fell from her eyes, and even her nose turned red, and it hurt a lot.

Xiao Qingyan was also startled, he was still holding a few broken hairs of Jinran in his hands, he stood dumbfounded, he didn't react, and when he saw Jinran crying, he hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and touched the place where Jinran was torn off several hairs, and blamed him: "Look at you, why aren't you careful?" It's always so reckless, is it better now, does it still hurt? Don't do that next time. ”

Jin Ran was almost dumbfounded, she first cautiously looked at whether her hair was still in Xiao Qingyan's hands, and only after finding that it was not, she took a big step back: "Why do you open your eyes and say nonsense?" Who am I aware of this way? It's not because of you, you suddenly came over and said such a lot of inexplicable words, can I be considered a normal reaction? Do you still want me to have a good chat with you? ”

It's really not that Jin Ran overreacted, it's really that Xiao Qingyan is too strange, so he blocked her down the road, and said some such ambiguous words, Jin Ran is now a person with a fiancé, this Xiao Qingyan is not unaware, and even said some such things, it makes sense for Jin Ran to be vigilant.

"You're very clever, just a few words to say to you, and that's it." Xiao Qingyan smiled helplessly. "Am I going to hurt you again? Think about it, this is the Sheng Mansion, if you disappear, I will still be able to swagger out of your mansion at that time? Besides, if I really want to hurt you, can you still choose a day like this? Today, the emperor came to your Sheng family, and there are many guards around this Sheng mansion. ”

Jin Ran also knew what Xiao Qingyan said, but she didn't let down her guard, and still stayed away from Xiao Qingyan: "What the hell are you looking for me?" Why did you stop me halfway? And how do you know I'm going from here? ”

Xiao Qingyan innocently spread his hands and smiled: "I didn't know that you walked from here, I just passed by here, who knew that you just hit me like this?" I still think it's strange, how can it be so coincidental? ”
