Murong Huan was forced to sit on Baili Moxu's lap, held in his arms, and was about to struggle to leave, but heard the guy [cheekily] whisper in her ear in a hoarse voice, "Huanhuan, don't move, you don't want to be seen by your brother What shouldn't be seen, right?"

Murong Huan secretly pinched Baili Moxu, but he didn't dare to try to leave his arms anymore, only looked up at Murong Nian sitting down on the side, and asked nervously and curiously, "Brother, what happened back then? You are not the son of your mother and father, who are you?"

"Huan'er, this matter is a long story...... Murong Nian sighed and told a shocking secret.

It turned out that Murong Gaolang, the previous emperor of Yelan Kingdom, had five sons, and what he valued most was his second son Murong Sheng, not the eldest son Murong Ying born to the queen.

Although Murong Bai and Murong Sheng, who ranked fifth, were not born to the same mother, their biological mothers were just ordinary concubines and their status was not high, so they were close since they were children, and their relationship was very good. Although Murong Bai has never been interested in the throne, when Murong Gaolang began to grow old and the princes grew up and fought to the death for the throne, he was inevitably involved in this battle.

When there were four beauties in Landu City on Chinese New Year's Eve, the first ranked was Gu Suqing, the daughter of Emperor Gu Su Mo, who was not only beautiful, but also known as the first talented woman in Cangxi. The second is Dongfang Miao, the daughter of the Prime Minister of the East, the third is Murong Yan, the eldest princess of Yelan, and the fourth is the daughter of Uncle Dongfang Miao, Dongfang Yuya.

Dongfang Yuya is one year younger than Dongfang Yumiao, although his father is not a courtier, but he is also a wealthy businessman, originally not in the Yelan capital business, but Dongfang Yuya's mother has always been frail, after giving birth to her, it is a loss of blood, perennial bedridden, her father in order to treat her mother's illness, then the family came to the capital to go to the Dongfang Prime Minister, living in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But when Dongfang Yuya was four years old, her mother still died. Her father was devastated, fell ill and died soon after. Therefore, Dongfang Yuya was actually raised by Dongfang Prime Minister and his wife, and she was as close as a sister to Dongfang Yumiao.

The Prime Minister of the East is an upright man and has a high prestige in the DPRK. Emperor Gu Su Mo is proficient in astronomy and geography, familiar with the national conditions of various countries, rich and rich, talented and emotional, and was one of the best wizards in the entire Cangxi Continent back then, but he fell in love with Yelan, an ordinary woman, refused the invitation of many kings, and came to Yelan to be the prince of the princes. Gu Sumo is also an upright person, so he cherishes Dongfang Prime Minister and has a very good personal relationship.

And Murong Yan, as the eldest princess, has also studied with the emperors with the princes since she was a child, so the four beauties in the capital were all handkerchief friends back then, Gu Suqing, Dongfang Miao, Dongfang Yuya, these three women of the same age as Murong Yan have been very close to Murong Yan since they were children, and they also have more contacts with the five princes.

Murong Bai has been very kind since he was a child, upright and pure-hearted, and has no interest in power, which is deeply loved by Gu Sumo, and Gu Suqing also favors him, and the two have been very similar to each other since childhood.

And Murong Ying is the eldest son of the emperor, so in addition to studying in the study when he was young, he has always been by Murong Gaolang's side to teach in person, and follow his father to learn how to govern the country. It's a pity that although Murong Ying has good talents, she has been doted on by the queen since she was a child, and her temperament is moody, and she is a little domineering, and she is even more ruthless to those who go against her will, and she has no generosity for the monarch.

Murong Sheng is Gu Sumo's most optimistic heir to the throne, as the emperor, Gu Sumo thinks that Murong Sheng is keen-minded, has the world in mind, is sympathetic to the people, is good at the way of monarchs and ministers, and advances and retreats to a certain extent, hidden deeply, and cultivates to be outstanding, is the first of the five princes to break through the twelfth level, if he inherits the unification in the future, he will definitely be able to carry Yelan forward. Therefore, Gu Sumo has always strongly recommended Murong Gaolang to establish Murong Sheng as the crown prince.

It's strange to say, Murong Ying and Murong Sheng have been on the same page since they were young, and when the two brothers grew up, they not only got involved in the dispute between the princes, but also fell in love with Dongfang Yuya. However, Dongfang Yuya only had Murong Sheng in her eyes, which made Murong Ying hate it so much.

However, the queen was unwilling to marry Dongfang Yuya to Murong Ying as the princess, because although Dongfang Yuya was the niece of the prime minister, and her biological father left her Wanguan family property, after all, she was only the daughter of a businessman, and her background was too low. Compared with Dongfang Miao, the daughter of the prime minister, the queen is naturally more willing to choose Dongfang Miao to her son, so that in the future, the prime minister of Dongfang will wholeheartedly help his son compete for the throne.

It's a pity that as soon as the queen asked Murong Gaolang to marry Murong Ying and Dongfang Miao, Baili Mingjiang came to Yelan as a Khmer prince to marry Dongfang Miao, and brought a letter from Emperor Xilin, intending to use this marriage to form an alliance with Yelan.

For Ye Lan, this is naturally a good thing that cannot be sought, so Murong Gaolang immediately agreed to this family affair, and named Dongfang Miao as Princess Miao and sent her to Xilin and her relatives.

The queen's wishful thinking failed, but Murong Ying was secretly happy, he had no feelings for Dongfang Miao, what he wanted had always been Dongfang Miao.

What's more, Murong Ying heard that the heirloom energy stone of the Dongfang family has always been inherited by the eldest son, and it happened to be the generation of Dongfang Prime Minister, and the two brothers each only married one wife, and both only gave birth to one daughter, so he believed that the power stone must have been passed on to Dongfang Yuya by Dongfang Yuya's father. As long as he marries Dongfang Yuya and deceives this energy stone, then his cultivation can surpass Murong Sheng and trample Murong Sheng under his feet.

It's just that Murong Ying didn't expect him to ask his father to marry him, and Murong Ying was also asking his father to agree to marry Dongfang Yuya.

Murong Gaolang naturally knew the power stone of the Dongfang family, after thinking about it, he took Yelan's world as the priority, and decided that he could only marry Dongfang Yuya to his best son, this power stone can only be obtained by his strongest son, and the wealth of Dongfang Yuya's family is given to his strongest son, coupled with the support of Dongfang Prime Minister, it can make the strong stronger, once this son ascends the throne, it can make Yelan's national fortune more victorious.

It's just that Murong Gaolang also felt that Dongfang Yuya was just the daughter of a businessman, and her background was a little worse, so in order to keep his hands behind, he announced that Murong Sheng would be the crown prince, and Dongfang Yuya would be the prince's side concubine, and planned to wait for the two to get married, and then give Su Qing, the daughter of the emperor's aunt Su Mo, to Murong Sheng as the crown princess in a year. After all, among the four beauties of the capital, the youngest is Gu Suqing, and it doesn't hurt to wait another year.

As soon as this move came out, the queen's faction was completely dumbfounded, they never imagined that Murong Gaolang would ignore the opposition of the queen's faction and establish Murong Sheng as the crown prince, and what they didn't expect was that Murong Gaolang would leave Dongfang Yuya and Gu Suqing to Murong Sheng. Since then, the queen's faction has regarded Murong Sheng as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

The queen has been operating power for many years, and while shocked and annoyed, she strongly advises her son to calm down. She admonished Murong Ying to be obedient to his father on the surface and be polite to the crown prince, but secretly asked him to win over the third and fourth princes and take every step of the way, in order to completely overthrow Murong Sheng one day.

And because Murong Yan is the eldest princess, she is also deeply loved by her father. One day, she deliberately asked her father who she would choose as the crown princess for the prince's brother in the future, but Murong Gaolang did not hide it, and directly told her her own plans, and the position of the crown princess was reserved for Gu Suqing.

Murong Yan naturally knew that the fifth brother Murong Bai and Gu Suqing were on good terms, but before she could plead with her father, Murong Gaolang told her a secret.

When Dongfang Miao and Dongfang Yuya were only two or three years old, they went to the temple with Dongfang Yuya's frail mother to offer incense, and a senior monk predicted that one of the two uncles and sisters would be the mother of the world in the future. Later, Gu Suqing's mother gave birth to her and died, and when the emperor's aunt Su Mo invited the monk to go to the house to spend time for his deceased wife, the monk predicted that Gu Suqing was also the reincarnation of Fengxing.

Murong Yan was taken aback, only then did he know that his father had chosen his second brother as the successor to the throne, so he would point out Dongfang Yuya and Gu Suqing to him. In this way, these two women with phoenix lives are Murong Sheng's women, and they don't have to worry that others will compete for Murong Sheng's throne if they marry them. After all, Dongfang Miao has already married Xilin, and even if she becomes the queen of Xilin, it has nothing to do with Yelan.

Murong Yan was shocked in his heart, it turned out that his father didn't know that the fifth brother and Gu Suqing were in love, but in order to consolidate Yelan's imperial power, for the prophecy of the so-called monk, he could only choose to sacrifice the feelings of this pair of children.

A month later, Murong Yan was ordered to marry the Admiral of Jiumen, moved out of the palace, and lived in the princess's mansion given by Murong Gaolang. Although Murong Yan and the concubine don't have much affection, they are also harmonious and raise their eyebrows. The only thing Murong Yan is glad about is that her marriage did not become a victim of consolidating the imperial power, and the concubine was not bad to her after marriage.

Subsequently, Murong Gaolang pointed out the eldest daughter of the military department secretary to Murong Bai as the princess, and also pointed out the concubine of the criminal department to Murong Bai as a side concubine, and the two daughters entered the door on the same day, which was very lively.

No one knew how painful Murong Bai was as the groom that day, he forced a smile and drank a lot of wine at the wedding banquet, and in the end, he didn't enter the new house of the princess and the side concubine, but ran directly to the emperor's mansion. At that time, Gu Sumo himself was drinking wine in the Five Princes' Mansion, and Gu Suqing was sad alone in the mansion.

Murong Bai quietly slipped into Gu Suqing's room, ignoring those etiquettes, and hugged his beloved into his arms. The two hugged each other, burst into tears, and poured out their hearts to each other. Maybe it was because he was drunk and bold, Murong Bai, who had always been honest and timid, did the bravest thing in his life, and he didn't care to merge with Gu Suqing that night.

From that day on, Murong Bai often secretly met with Gu Suqing, and the suppressed love bloomed the most gorgeous flowers in the dark night. R1154
