Nervous by his attitude, Meijing frowned, put on her cloak and hat, and ran out with small steps.

The palace was eerily quiet, but it was always like something was waiting in the dark. Yushu didn't say a word, and he didn't dare to look back at the beautiful scenery.

In the Imperial Garden.

Song Liangchen walked beside the emperor and bowed his head respectfully.

With a faint smile on his face, the emperor finally said after greeting him: "I heard that when King Yan succeeded to the throne, a lot of things happened. ”

Song Liangchen said: "It is inevitable that there will be disputes over the succession to the throne. ”

"It will be time for me to give up my throne in a few years." The emperor sighed and patted him on the shoulder with great emotion: "It's a pity that the princes are not as capable as King Yan, and I don't know how big things will happen when the time comes." Would you like to help? ”

His eyelids jumped, Song Liangchen smiled and said nothing, looked at the emperor respectfully, and waited for him to speak, but he didn't agree.

The emperor paused, and said helplessly: "Now the territory of the fiefs everywhere is getting bigger and bigger, and the royal territory is getting smaller and smaller, I have ordered that the fiefs should not be expanded, but it doesn't seem to work, can you think of some way for me to come out?" ”

"Foolishness." Song Liangchen arched his hand and said: "It is better for the emperor to discuss such things with the important ministers of the court, after all, the ministers are young and can't think of any good way." ”

Why didn't you say that you were young when you were so talkative at the dinner?! Now it's time to shirk it, this ability to deal with people has the true inheritance of King Yan!

The emperor took a light breath and said with a smile: "I have a way, you can listen to it." ”

Song Liangchen bowed his head in response.

"The fiefs are now more and more scattered, in addition to the fiefdom of the vassal king himself, there are also places in the fief that are divided with siblings, such as your younger brother Yan Zhong Wang and Zhao Di Zhong Wang, both of whom occupy their own places. Do you think that there is still only one vassal king in one land, who is better at ruling, do you think? ”

A king? Song Liangchen frowned, but didn't dare to answer him.

It was the emperor who wanted him to give the place to Song Liangye at the beginning, and now he came to talk to him about a king, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd?

After thinking about it, he still smiled and said: "After all, they are all brothers, and King Zhong also belongs to his ministers, so there are no two kings, and there is no difference from before." ”

The emperor smiled: "Then King Yan Zhong has already married Zhao Di, is King Yan really not worried about anything?" Tigers sleeping next to you are often the most terrifying, and at any point, they will bite you. ”

Song Liangchen said solemnly: "The minister will be careful." ”

Don't give him a chance to talk about it at all! The emperor was slightly annoyed, and he didn't bother to go around the bend with him, so he said directly: "I think it's inappropriate, the fiefdom will start a war again, and Yu Daming will also have disadvantages and no advantages, so it is better to cut King Zhong, so that King Yan can sleep peacefully, and I can sleep peacefully, what does Aiqing think?" ”

Sure enough, I'm waiting here.

First of all, they got a Zhong Wang from all over the place, and then they had to cut the Zhong Wang, which was simply a bend to cut the domain, knowing that the princes everywhere were dissatisfied with the position of the Zhong King, and it was much less difficult to agree than to cut the domain directly.

But he still won't agree, even if he has a deep hatred with Song Liangye, it is Yandi's own business, he is not stupid enough to hand it over to the emperor to solve, in the end, it will be both glory and loss.

"When the seal was first divided, King Yan Zhong came to ask the minister's opinion." Song Liangchen chuckled and said, "If you want to cut him now, shouldn't the emperor also ask his opinion?" ”

The Emperor frowned.

He wanted to throw the pot on King Yan's back, and as soon as he promised himself, he had an excuse to do it directly, but what happened when the oil and salt didn't enter?

After talking about it for a long time, no matter what aspect it is, this person has no intention of giving in, but he is not tough enough to commit it, and he can't find an excuse to scare and scare him.

Looking at the dark imperial garden, the emperor was silent for a long time, and then chuckled and said, "I still want to ask, why did King Yan reject Yongning today?" Don't you know I'm going to give her to you? ”

Turning around as he spoke, a pair of sharp eyes stared straight at Song Liangchen: "You are good everywhere, but it's not a good thing to value women too much." ”

Song Liangchen shook his head: "The minister doesn't care about women." ”

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Then why is the battle of Yandi to seize the city, I heard that you are going to give up a great opportunity for the Shen clan." Now for the Shen family, refuse the imperial marriage? ”

Smiling calmly, Song Liangchen said: "Ministers have always had their own rules and regulations for doing things, and Shen, as a princess, should also have her role." ”

This was said implicitly, and the emperor squinted his eyes and thought about it, slightly understanding. What does he mean is that he is using Shen as an excuse?

Dare to say this directly in front of the emperor, King Yan is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

"King Yan thinks Princess Yongning is not worthy of you?"

"Quite the opposite." Song Liangchen raised his head, looked at the emperor sincerely and said: "The minister does not want to be bound by the love of his children, so he only sets up the Shen family to be a show, if he really marries a person like Princess Yongning, the minister will inevitably be distracted, sorry for his father's expectations, so today I dare to refuse Your Majesty, and I ask Your Majesty for your understanding." ”

Is this the reason? It seems to be right, but it seems to be wrong.

The emperor looked at him and smiled faintly: "You really don't care about the Shen family? ”

"It's not that I don't care at all, it's the princess after all." Song Liangchen said with a smile: "But the minister and her are about to reconcile, and after that, without the identity of the princess, the minister will naturally not care about her anymore." ”

"Really?" The emperor turned his head: "Then it's okay for me to invite her to the Zongren Mansion for tea?" ”

"The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and it doesn't matter what he wants to do." Song Liangchen said calmly: "The minister has no objection. ”

Are you really willing to give it up?

Frowning slightly, the emperor fell into deep thought. Most of the news he got seemed to be wrong, and the Yan King in front of him and the person he knew didn't seem to be the same at all.

What should I do?

The imperial garden was quiet, Song Liangchen smiled easily, and the hand behind his back was pinched white.

Seeing that the palace gate was in front of him, suddenly people dressed as guards rushed over from all directions. Shen Meijing sank her face, looked around, and whispered, "Yushu, run." ”

Yushu was also wrapped in a cloak, and when he heard the words, he quickly walked forward, and the scenery slowed down, and he saw the guards all heading towards Yushu.

The air tightened, and Meijing immediately made a decision, and took advantage of the night to roll into the grass next to her, roll onto another path and start running.

I can't care about the drama of "you go first" and "you want to go together", Yushu is okay in their hands, but if these people catch her, there will be no good thing.

There were scattered footsteps behind him, chasing with some hesitation, probably thinking that Yushu wrapped in a cloak was the princess, and there was no credit in chasing this minion, so he was not very dedicated.

The beautiful scenery took the opportunity to run as fast as a rabbit.

At this time, she had to thank Song Liangchen in her heart, if he hadn't taken the heavy hair ornament on her head and ripped off the sleeves, she would definitely not be able to run so fast now.

The lights in front were bright, and the ladies of all the families were getting into the carriage and preparing to leave the palace, and the beautiful scenery looked left and right, and when they saw Gu Xiurong, they immediately ran over, and threw away their cloaks through the cover of the carriage, and blended into the group of women.

The guards who followed after him were dumbfounded, looking for minions everywhere, and did not dare to disturb the noblewoman. They probably didn't know Shen Meijing, so they only received an order to arrest someone, so now Meijing was holding Gu Xiurong's hand in front of them to greet her, and several guards didn't see her, and disappeared after a while.

"What's wrong with the princess?" Gu Xiurong looked at her curiously: "Why are you running all over the sweat?" ”

Meijing gasped and shook her head, and said in a low voice: "My carriage is broken, can Miss Gu take me out of the palace with me?" ”

"That's fine." Gu Xiurong said: "But don't you wait for the prince?" ”

"He looks like it's going to be a long time before he comes out, I'm too tired and he's heavy, so I'd better go back first."

yes, I'm still pregnant. Gu Xiurong nodded hurriedly and helped her into the carriage.

Mrs. Gu sat in the carriage and looked at her with a frown: "Princess Yan, isn't it a loss of identity to squeeze a car with us?" ”

"It's okay." Meijing smiled generously at her: "I don't care. ”

Mrs. Gu: "......"

Gu Xiurong tugged at her sleeve and said a little coquettishly: "Can Mother be gentle with the princess?" ”

With a slight snort, Madam Gu turned her face away. The son-in-law she fancied was tricked to death by this person, and if she didn't open her mouth to ridicule, it was already gentle.

Smiling apologetically at the beautiful scenery, Gu Xiurong said: "Send you back to the house first, look at your face, you have to go back to rest." ”

"Thank you." Meijing nodded, remembering Gu Xiurong's kindness in her heart, and leaned against the wall of the car to take a few breaths.

By the time the guards caught up with Yushu and found that it was not Princess Yan, Meijing had already left the palace.

Yushu was brought to the emperor and saluted respectfully: "Long live my emperor, long live." ”

The emperor's face was a little not good-looking, he squinted at Yushu for a while, and asked with a chuckle, "What about the princess?" ”

Yushu said: "The princess has already gone back, if the emperor has any orders, I think the prince can convey them on his behalf." ”

His palms were full of sweat, Song Liangchen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was a lot more relaxed, and said to Yushu jokingly: "The emperor is kind-hearted, and he won't get along with the princess, don't be nervous." ”

Yushu nodded in response.

The emperor looked at him, then at Yushu, and laughed twice: "What a good Yan prince, I only know what it means to be terrible in the future today, just retreat." ”

"The minister retired." After a salute, Song Liangchen motioned for Yushu to get up, and the latter knelt on the ground and looked at him in embarrassment.

The legs are weak.

Stretching out his hand and gently pulling him, Song Liangchen left the emperor's side backwards, and grabbed the jade tree as soon as he came out of the moon gate of the imperial garden: "How is she?" ”

Yushu said in shock: "I didn't hear the news of arresting people, the princess is so alert, she should have left the palace." ”

Song Liangchen glared: "She is still pregnant, how can she leave by herself?!" ”
