Xia Yiyu sat up straight suddenly, and said meaningfully: "Don't need power? How sure are you of this? ”

Of course, Xie Yufei understood what he meant, and stood by the window and pondered for a while before saying: "Maybe the pattern we looked at before was too small, and we only focused on the battle between the two princes, and ignored the behemoth behind it, which is the biggest failure, so the second prince is the real shrewd person!"

Xia Yiyu also felt the same way, and after thinking about it, he also expressed his opinion,

"I have studied the second emperor brother, he is polite and virtuous and kind to everyone, so that the ministers of the court and the central government also have a lot of praise for him, but if he does not have a deep friendship with the important ministers, even if the seven-rank officials talk to him, they feel like a spring breeze, he only works hard in politics, scholars, and finance. The power behind the second emperor brother was not as deep as the eldest emperor brother at first, and some of him relied on only the imperial concubine, and the others were operated by himself step by step.

On the other hand, the eldest brother does have the support of the military forces behind him, although the power of the maternal family should not be underestimated, but the world is still the world of the father, how dare he have the support of the military? From this point of view, the second emperor brother can compete with the eldest emperor, and the Great Xia Dynasty does not want his son-in-law to succeed to the throne, and his father is the best example! If I continue to follow the second emperor brother and wave the flag and shout, it will be a waste of time! ”

Xie Yufei looked at him appreciatively and said, "Hmm! What the cousin means is that the emperor doesn't mind the two princes interfering in political affairs, let the two princes compete with each other, and choose the heir based on the performance of the two of them! My cousin can see this step, and his vision is also very human, if my cousin suddenly rises to the top and shows excellent ability to join the competition...... It's just that my cousin's foundation is a little insufficient, and Xu Xu Tu is talented. ”

Xia Yiyu stood up and walked over with a smile and took her hand, "Yu Fei, do you appreciate me very much?" ”

"Cousin! Can we have a good chat? Xie Yufei pulled out his hand after saying that.

Xia Yiyu withdrew his hand curtly, smiled and said, "It's always been a pleasant chat!" The court doesn't care about it in advance, the holiday given by the court is a full seventeen days off after the Shangyuan Festival, and I'll take you to play tomorrow, okay? ”

"I want to take Xizhu Xiaoqing out together, they haven't been out of the house in the past few months." Xie Yufei was about to take two little girls to relax, so she agreed.

"But...," Xia Yiyu said with a look of embarrassment, "They can't show up with you." ”

"Hey, hey!" Xie Yufei squeezed his eyebrows, and his smile was very strange, "We can dress up in disguise, there will be no flaws!" ”

Xia Yiyu was helpless and said, "... All right! According to you, there is a banquet in the palace in the evening, I will leave first, and I will pick you up tomorrow! You get to rest early! ”

said that he could take the two girls out to play, Xie Yufei was in a good mood, "Cousin, go slowly!" ”

——————

After Chinese New Year's Eve, all provinces and families are free, and in addition to visiting relatives and friends during the long vacation, they will also ask a few close friends to go out for a visit.

"Yu Fei" Xia Yiyu was looking inside the courtyard, "How long have you been waiting for this, isn't it okay?" ”

It's been almost two hours of waiting, if it was usual, he would have gone in directly, and it's not that he hasn't entered her room, but now there are three more little girls in it, and he can't enter the house and can only do it outside in a hurry.

"Right now!" Xie Yufei also doesn't remember saying 'right away' a few times, but this time it's true.

Xie Yufei's room has been busy with green for a long time, and Lihong has been giving the three of them makeup and choosing clothes.

"Cousin! Sorry to keep you waiting! "Xie Yufei and the four of them finally came out.

"Poof"

"I'm sorry! Rude, rude! Xia Yiyu squirted out the tea he was drinking, hurriedly held back his smile and twisted his head to the side.

Xie Yufei was dressed in white, tied with a royal blue gold corset, and wore a royal blue gold soldier's hat, and a royal blue diamond was inlaid in front of the hat. is fanning proudly. What a beautiful son.

This handsome appearance looks like a woman no matter how you look at it, but his Adam's apple proves that he is a man.

Xizhu Xiaoqing is dressed as a small girl, with dark yellow skin, and there are either inconspicuous pockmarks on her face or hairy moles, and she really can't see half of her original appearance.

"Brother! The little brother is polite! ”

Xie Yufei put away the fan he was shaking and bowed.

"Brother Xian, please!" Xia Yiyu owes and gives way.

On the first day of the first lunar month, the sky is clear and blue, a few white clouds like cotton wool, gently floating, it seems blue and white, the sun is clear and the sky is a good day for outings, tens of thousands of Chang'an residents go out of the city with great interest, and the carriage and people who can't see the edge can only walk slowly.

"Miss, why are there so many people today, I just heard outside that the other gates of Chang'an City are just as crowded." Xizhu lifted the curtain all the way and looked out.

Xie Yufei also looked at the crowded carriages and horses outside the window and exclaimed: "The entire Great Xia Dynasty has a long vacation, hundreds of officials are on vacation, the people are on vacation, businessmen are on vacation, and schools are on vacation, there must be many people." ”

After leaving the city, the carriage could drive slowly all the way, and it took an hour to reach its destination, the Royal Garden.

There is a sergeant guarding the entrance of the royal forest to check the identity, and non-official identities are not allowed to enter, Xia Yiyu's carriage has the symbol of royal status, and he drives straight in without stopping for inspection.

The Royal Forest Garden covers a vast area, with a racecourse, a lake garden, and hundreds of pavilions and pavilions.

Xia Yiyu took them to the lake to visit the lake on a boat, and got off the boat when he was tired of playing, and prepared lunch for this trip, and he could have a picnic outside, Xie Yufei decided to find a beautiful place, just when a few people looked around to see which direction to go,

"Tick tick tick" A sound of horses' hooves sounded from far and near...

Xie Yufei stopped to beat the curtain and looked, only to see a group of young nobles coming this way.

"Brother? Didn't I look for you? Xie Yufei turned his head and asked.

"Hmmm! It's the second emperor brother! Xia Yiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the visitor.

"Phew"

When the galloping horse was about to reach the front of the person, it stopped instantly, and the second prince's equestrianism was quite good. I saw that he was wearing an Huangyun brocade crane, with a wide belt of Ming Emperor Hook Thunder Pattern tied around his waist, his hair was up, he had a pair of deep eyes, and his back was straight on horseback.

"Third brother! Why are you here so late? You've been waiting for you for a long time! The second prince asked, and the words of blame made people feel amiable.

The second prince was a little angry, if he hadn't seen his carriage outside, he would have thought he wouldn't come.

"Second Emperor Brother, do we have an appointment?" Xia Yiyu stepped forward and saluted and asked.

The second prince asked with some surprise, "Huh?" The third brother doesn't know? Didn't I send a name to your house yesterday for my brother and invite you to participate in today's poetry meeting at the Qilin Water Pavilion? ”

"The royal brother doesn't know!" Xia Yiyu slapped his forehead in annoyance and said, "After I went back last night, it seems that the housekeeper mentioned it, but the imperial brother drank some wine at the palace banquet, and he got up this morning and forgot about it with a hangover." Of course, he can't remember, he just remembers that he wants to take the United States to play today.

"Huh! I didn't remember you coming too, let's go! The poetry meeting is about to begin! ”
