Chapter 80: The Tournament of the Two Houses

The inconspicuous carriage passed slowly as the occupants signaled a sign.

"Princess, it looks like I'm going to stay in the palace tonight." The maid next to her paid some careful attention to her master's face, the princess had not stayed in the palace for three years, and the palace when the eldest princess was not married did not know if it was the same as before.

"But remember to be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, and don't be too casual." Under the gentle tone, people are looking out through the open curtains, this palace has not changed for many years, but it is just ...... But they don't know where to go.

"Yes, Princess." The only sound in his ears, Mu Tianxin faintly retracted his gaze, Tianchen ...... Is it because of the order of the Queen Mother?

The Fu family's house, the night is dark.

"Childe, the little boy has rested." Si'er's voice sounded outside, and the two people in the room glanced at each other, Fu Mingran didn't say anything, but turned around slightly, the look on his face was hidden in the quilt, Xiao Nian's eyes were a little dark, and he walked over to the door.

Fu Mingyuan's face in the night was a little blurry, and his expression was even more indistinct, but the two maids who were already outside seemed to be able to feel it...... Today's son's mood is not very good, and the little boy who is already lying on the bed in the house has not spoken since returning from the academy.

Today...... What's going on?

Taking back the token from Fei Ran, I am afraid that he has already understood his thoughts, but there are only two things that matter at the moment, one is what the four princes insist on, and the other is ...... In the competition between Tianjing and Canglan Academy, Dean Tianjing has temporarily changed his mind.

But...... A faint sadness gradually appeared on his face, this child is older, he has his own mind, he is a big brother...... It's just a big brother.

"When the little boy goes to the academy tomorrow, remember to let the little boy eat and then get into the carriage." When he returned home, the housekeeper said that the dinner he had prepared had hardly been touched, and it seemed that the people he saw in the academy today still had a great influence on him.

In fact, his worry is just because of his inner ...... A hint of fear.

"Yes, Childe." The two maids saluted, watching people slowly cross the corridor, and the figure in the night was always a little lonely.

"Xiao Nian, what's wrong with the little boy today?" When Sister asked, Xiao Nian shook her head slightly, her own little son's thoughts, she really couldn't understand it more and more.

It was very quiet inside and outside the house, Fu Mingran gradually fell asleep, and in the haze, she seemed to see the end of the broken bridge...... The white figure standing, but the face is blurred.

The Imperial Palace Yue Wang Pavilion

The room was a little more lively than usual, although Mu Tianyue was just standing quietly, he could still see a little different look from the past, and there was some fireworks in the cold.

Mu Tianxin had some tears in his eyes, with a smile in the corners of his eyes, looking at the person in front of him who now seems to have grown up as a teenager, Tianchen is still like this, but Tianyue is ...... I have been sensible a lot.

"Sister Chang, this time you will stay in the palace for a few days, and I will tell you in detail about what has happened in the past few years." Mu Tianchen's joy was not reserved at all, Mu Tianyue stood aside, looking at the person being questioned, the appearance of the eldest sister...... is a lot haggard, but it seems that these years outside the palace are not very satisfactory.

Mu Tianxin smiled faintly, when can she be more sensible, she will get married, although she stays in this palace for a few days, if she gets her father's permission, she will be fine, but with her current filial piety, it is still not good.

"It's late today, it's better for you to go back and rest early, and Sister will listen to you tomorrow, okay?"

"Sister, I'm not sleepy......"

"But Sister is a little tired." Mu Tianxin got up, and the movements of the two people who were originally standing in front of him slowly approached, and he could clearly see a blush on Tianchen's face, it seemed that he was ...... Staying with Tianyue from time to time, if Tianchen can learn more from his four emperor brothers, the queen mother will probably be able to worry less.

"Sister Chang, Tianchen took you to the palace where you went to sleep, and you lived in the palace next to Tianchen, don't go back to your princess palace." The thirteen-year-old boy's heart was as clear as a mirror, so far Mu Tianyue was standing aside and watching, the light in his eyes was a little cold, thinking about the idea that his father was still in his heart at this time, Tianchen probably didn't understand, he was also a child of the royal family.

"Tianyue, Tianchen is here to disturb your leisure for a few days." Before leaving, Mu Tianxin's words made the people who had been standing in the room for a long time suddenly laugh, and the green clothes they wore on weekdays showed a hidden appearance, but that smile was a rare sincerity, a rare smile.

The tone of his speech like this...... Hardly anything has changed from before.

"Sister Chang, Tianchen is in the temple next to me, if there is something to send someone to call me." Mu Tianxin took in the scene he saw, these furnishings, some of them looked like the princess's palace, and he really had a heart, I am afraid that that place is not so complete.

"Sister won't be polite to you, let's rest early." The eyebrows and eyes of the yellow-clothed young man in front of him have gradually become more and more similar to his father, and his father should be very happy about this.

The person in front of him nodded, but the hesitation shown in that face, the person finally left, and the eyes of the person behind him were a little clear, thinking that Tianchen had listened to what the queen mother said about her......

"Princess, the slave maid has been sorted out, this place really looks like your princess palace, and it is even more beautiful." This girl...... This house is not good-looking, but ...... It's really like that.

The candles in the house have been burning for a while, and the light of the candles is fading, and at night, people will sleep peacefully.

The next day, above the court

Mu Qisi looked at the position of Prime Minister An Cheng, there were people standing today, An Ming looked up at the people seated, bowed slightly, and bowed his hand. The eyes of the predecessors were like torches, but in an instant, they seemed to have no look, and they looked at the people below with some blankness.

"Your Majesty, according to last year's results, the competition between the two academies should be in charge of Canglan Academy this year." Naturally, the winner is responsible, but Canglan defeated Tianjing Academy last year.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have different opinions, Canglan has been in charge for three years, and the ministers feel that Tianjing should be in charge this year." Last year, Canglan Academy was in charge because of the emperor's permission, and if it wasn't for the power of the person in charge at that time, the final result would have been up for debate.

And the year before that...... Something happened to Tianjing Academy at that time.

The people in the audience seemed to listen very carefully to each person's proposal, and each of them could understand a word, and besides, he waited for someone to speak.

"Lord Li, according to the rules set by the emperor, Canglan is naturally responsible, and this official heard that Tianjing Academy may withdraw from the competition this year, so in this case, it is naturally good for Canglan to be responsible." Lin Yeyi chose a set of colors similar to the official uniform today, so it is better not to be conspicuous.

But this Lord Qian, how did he get on the pole with Master Li again, isn't their "master" in the court today? The person in purple is particularly conspicuous today, the third prince...... It was like meeting for the first time.

"Lord Qian, since you said that it is according to the rules set by the previous emperor, then there can be this article in this rule, all the academies that have been in charge for three years will be handed over to the other party in charge in the coming year." Lin Yeyi originally wanted to see what kind of attitude Prime Minister An Cheng would have, but he just ...... It's a little far away.

There was silence for a while, and they seemed to be thinking about whether there was such a rule, but the result was ...... It seems like yes. I'm afraid that the court thinks it's okay, and only Lin Yeyun is the only one, and he doesn't know what rules the emperor has set.

The people in the audience looked at each other, and the rules of the emperor were also a good reason.

But he looked at Prime Minister An and didn't seem to care at all, if it was according to An Ming's intentions, he would probably choose Tianjing Academy, and he also heard that Tianjing had recruited a group of poor disciples this year, just for this reason...... Then what he, the emperor, means, seems to be the most suitable choice of Tianjing Academy at the moment.

"I would like to hear Prime Minister An's proposal." Lin Yeyun could feel that everyone's eyes were focused on him for a while, and it seemed that this competition between the two houses could be regarded as an important matter for the imperial court.

An Ming's expression has not changed so far, first he saluted extremely politely, and then seemed to think about it, and the people in the audience began to look forward to it a little when they saw this, it seems that he may not have guessed it correctly today.

"What Lord Li said is true, what Lord Qian said is right, it depends on the rules set by the emperor, so the minister thinks that this year's event is still decided by the emperor." As soon as the words fell, the court was still quiet, and this idea was good at the moment.

It's really different...... It seems that Prime Minister An has other thoughts this year.

Although Lin Yeyun didn't understand it very well, he still understood one thing, Prime Minister An was not more inclined to Tianjing Academy......

"My idea...... I already have an idea in my heart, but I still want to hear the emperor's opinion today, Tianxing, tell me what you think. The expression on An Ming's face was somewhat disguised when he retreated, and the cold light in his eyes had a meaning towards himself, if he hadn't promised someone, he would have chosen Tianjing Academy in his heart.

Mu Tianxing was dressed in purple, wearing a purple and gold crown, and his extremely bewitching face was even more dazzling because of this deep purple face, just when he stood up, everyone's eyes were focused on him, but it was completely different from just now, which was ...... There was Lin Ye's gaze, which contained a kind of inquiry.

Now in the current situation, it is the bureau of the three princes......

"Erchen didn't dare to say decisive words, but according to Erchen's opinion, this year's competition between the two academies is in charge of Canglan Academy, Erchen met with his teacher a few days ago, saying that the deans of the two academies have discussed with each other, and this year due to some situations in Tianjing, Canglan will be in charge of this event."

What is the ...... It seems to be more specific than what Prime Minister An said just now, and it seems that the sources of the three princes are quite extensive.

I don't know how the emperor will choose......

Prime Minister An Cheng's expression was still calm, and his direct gaze was hidden in some light, and today's events were interesting.

Muqisi nodded in front of the ministers, but he didn't say anything, this will still have to be made.

"I think it...... Canglan is responsible. ”

"The minister also thinks that it is better for Canglan to be responsible."

This is Lord Li and Lord Qian, who just had different opinions, Lin Yeyong is waiting for this reply, it should be like this......

"Well, this year's competition will be in charge of Canglan Academy, so let's retire without incident." The people on the throne had already gotten up, but they didn't mean to listen anymore, and the people in the court felt that the emperor seemed to be angry.

Prime Minister An turned around and left the palace, and there were officials who automatically gave way along the way, Lin Yeyun walked far behind, he felt that the emperor's anger was not sincere, but the person who left alone in front of him, the back ...... A little angry.

Since it is so important who is responsible...... Is there something to be paid attention to in that Yuan Pavilion?
