Xiaolou was frightened last night, and the birds fell under the branches.

The wind chimes hanging on the eaves of Qiongyu Pavilion shook gently, making a crisp and pleasant sonorous sound, and the air was soaked with the smell of rain, dew and dust.

The girl with black sideburns stood on the carved railing with her greasy white chin, and her exposed arm was as white as jade and hung on the railing, her eyes out of focus and looking into the distance.

Standing behind her, she took an ivory comb and combed her waist-length hair, Jiang Xi sighed lightly.

"What is it that makes Miss unhappy?"

Seeing her sigh, Qianhe was a little amused: "It's not easy to come back from that place, why is Miss still unhappy?" If you want the maid to say, you have to be in the palace, if you are in this palace, you will have to cry and cry, and the maid will have to eat a board. Now that she has escaped punishment, Miss should be happy. "

"Sister Qianhe, it's you who is happy, Mama only nagged me one more time, you can save me!" Jiang Ji frowned and said quietly.

"Yes, yes, Miss is right! The young lady said why she was depressed, and looked at this sad face, the maid was distressed! "

"You don't understand."

Jiang Xi didn't want to look at it again, turned around and returned to the room, and a delicate little face was printed on the bronze mirror in front of the dressing table.

"Why is the young lady unhappy, is it because this year's birthday can't be held in a big way, and the young lady is afraid that she won't be able to receive gifts?" She whispered tentatively.

"No, Sister Qihe, I'm not so naïve!"

Jiang Xi was a little embarrassed, how could she treat her as a child, but she would be born in two days, and she would be twelve years old after her birthday!

At this age, you can marry in a poor family.

Yesterday, the housekeeper Uncle Chen sent someone to send a lot of jewelry, clothes and dresses, as well as many novel things, and said that this was a gift prepared for her by His Royal Highness before, and some of them were sent to the Light Rain Villa early, and they were ransacked by the refugees, and I am afraid that there is nothing left.

Now that the epidemic is rampant, and it is not safe in the capital, according to the meaning of the palace, the birthday ceremony will no longer be a big deal, so she should not think too much, An Sheng will stay in this mansion and wait for His Royal Highness to come back.

Jiang Xi is not ignorant of the severity, but she is just a little depressed.

What she was looking forward to was not a gift, but someone who was really standing in front of her, but after so many years, she still couldn't get her wish.

Here, the two nobles from the top to the bottom of the palace and even the palace regarded her as a carefully prepared gift for him Yan Zhao.

Before marrying him, she must not be damaged in the slightest, she must be careful in her words and deeds, always pay attention to the innocence of her reputation, and if she likes the person, she will marry happily.

But now she hasn't even seen her face, so she has to change her nature and stay in this mansion for a man who doesn't know whether she likes it or not.

If her parents were still there, how could she get into such a situation? It's just lonely and helpless, and it's just to be manipulated by others.

If Yan Zhao saw her, didn't like it, and then abandoned it, what should she do?

Qianhe only thinks about three meals and clothing, food and clothing, and is trapped in this royal wealth, completely unaware that this is just a mirror, maybe one day he will wake up from a dream, and everything is empty.

After wandering in this capital with Qianhe, Jiang Xi understood that if she didn't have this marriage contract to rely on, she wouldn't be able to live in this capital.

What the nobles give, she can take it back at any time, nothing really belongs to her, even she herself is a gift to Yan Zhao.

This uncontrollable fate is not what she wants, but for a while, Jiang Xi can't break free.

It's too hard to survive in this world, and I just hope that I can learn something from this place so that I can plan for the future.

Thinking of this, she whispered: "Sister Qianhe, I want you to do things, should you?" "

She looked serious, and she couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Since I should be, the maid has followed the young lady since she was a child, from the desolate northern land to this prosperous Kyoto, the general is as kind to the slave and maid family, and the maid died tens of millions of times and couldn't pay it off, the young lady didn't say that she wanted me to do something, even if it was for me to die, the maid should also respond." "

"In this case, then you can do whatever I ask you to do in the future, don't ask, now send all the things sent by Uncle Chen, and let him sell all these and exchange them for rice grain."

·

In the Chongming Palace, the pale-faced Emperor Yongzhao was on the throne, and Gonggong Liu was gently fanning behind him.

The courtiers looked at the sick and crooked His Majesty a little worried, and they all bowed their heads and said nothing, now the epidemic is raging, the situation is grim, if the situation is allowed to develop, there will be no rebellion, internal and external troubles are frequent, and it is even worse to be noticed by the Di people who are waiting for the opportunity in the north, and then natural disasters and man-made disasters will follow one after another, how can the stormy Dayan survive.

If there is a change of dynasty, the wealth of these courtiers will be over, thinking of this, they all have sad faces, but they have to come up with a feasible way, and they are all like quails and shrink their necks without squeaking.

Headed by Gu Xiang, he occupies the left, and Zhu Tsukazai, the eldest brother of the concubine, occupies the right, Yan Jun is in the center, his black eyes are heavy and standing like Mount Tai, and the people on the side are becoming more and more unbearable.

Emperor Yongzhao saw that everyone did not speak, and he was powerless, a few days ago, in order to force Yan Zhao, he did not hesitate to poison himself and frame Gu Xiang, the medicine was real, and he had not been relieved after more than a month, and now he only felt weak and weak.

Against Yan Junyu, who grew up like a lion and a hungry wolf, he became more and more powerless.

After a long silence, he was finally defeated: "Conferring the seal—"

"From now on, the prospective prince will temporarily take charge of the prison country."

After saying a word, he gasped for breath and looked wearily at his nominal son, who had worked hard for several years, doing everything possible to eliminate his power, but in the end he was forced to relinquish his power step by step.

First the palace guards, then the imperial city garrison, and then the military power in the northwest, and now the entire Dayan is under his control, and all that is missing is a justifiable name.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of them.

If he wanted to, he could send someone to kill him at any time, and it was okay to climb to the top in one step.

But Emperor Yongzhao knew that he had to do this, only Yan Junyu had the ability to turn the tide and save Yan from fire and water, I don't know if the medicine was too fierce, or his half a hundred years old, in short, he was no longer able to reorganize the mountains and rivers now.

Yan Junyu took the imperial seal with one hand, such a rebellious move, the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to speak, even Emperor Yongzhao saw it, but he didn't see it.

His face was unwavering, his joy and anger were indistinguishable, and his dark phoenix eyes were carelessly examining this seal that symbolized imperial power.

Everyone deeply felt that their crown prince was in power, and his actions would only become more and more unscrupulous, and his iron and blood were so ruthless that it made people's hearts tremble, even the Gu Xiang faction felt frightened.

As early as a few years ago, Gu Xiang couldn't control him.

At this moment, Gu Xiang stood expressionlessly, and the old god was looking at the young descendant of the Zhu family, Zhu Wenyuan, the brother of the concubine, and now the official department Shangshu Otsuka Zai.

He wears a purple official robe, has a thoughtful face, a handsome beard, and when he was young, he was also the object of admiration of many girls.

He thinks he has a burning eye, and sometimes he doesn't know what he thinks, as it is now.

Zhu Wenyuan took the lead in kneeling and bowing his head and shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old!" "

The courtiers behind him knelt down and chanted one after another, and the people of Gu Xiang's faction were a little stunned, and they knelt on the ground and shouted after reacting.

Sound all over the world!

Yan Junyu raised his hand gently, the hall was silent, and the needle drop could be heard.

Emperor Yongzhao withdrew from the court by Gonggong Liu, and the emperor withdrew, and these courtiers breathed a sigh of relief and gathered around Yan Junyu.

The Gu Xiang faction, who had gained power, held their heads high, and their sarcastic and ridiculous words shot towards Zhu Tsukazai like a rain of arrows.

Yan Junyu flicked his sleeves and turned around, his face was not pale.

At this time, he didn't have the slightest feeling of happiness, and what Emperor Yongzhao threw at him was a devastated mess.

No one knows better than him how terrible the plague is!

Cheng Qi, who was standing outside the palace, saw Yan Jun coming out, and hurriedly greeted him, just in front of Gu Xiang's cloudy eyes behind His Highness.

He looked at His Highness and gritted his teeth: "Your Highness, Prime Minister Gu asks you to stop." "

Yan Jun Yu looked back suddenly, Sen Han's gaze shot straight straight over like a sharp sword, seeing that Gu Xiang's heart was tight, his slow pace was a little flustered, and he stepped forward quickly with a cane, before he could speak.

Yan Junyu's thin lips lightly opened: "Gu Xiang, stop in moderation, otherwise Jun Yu doesn't know what to do to make your liver angry!" "

"Your Highness, you-"

"I want your Gu family to pay for your life."

He said this very lightly, and if he didn't listen carefully, he would skip it, but Gu Xiang knew that since he could say it, he would definitely be able to do it, and he didn't wait for him to say the last word.

Yan Jun left without looking back.
