At this moment, it is the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and Yanjing, thousands of miles away from Yingtianfu, has already snowed like goose feathers.

The fire in King Yan's mansion was booming, and Zhu Di's face was reflected by the flames.

He looked at the Daoyan monk in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "Sir, depending on what Your Majesty means, you should choose one of these two children." ”

Dao Yan nodded, looking up with a peaceful smile.

"Has King Yan forgotten that the old monk said that after the death of the crown prince Zhu Biao, the crown prince will only choose between the two."

Zhu Di let out a long breath, and finally let go of that trace of obsession in his heart.

He originally hoped that Zhu Yuanzhang would re-choose the crown prince among several brothers, so that as the king of Yan, he was undoubtedly the most promising one.

But at that time, Monk Daoyan poured a basin of cold water on him, saying that His Majesty would never choose a new prince among the remaining sons.

He was skeptical about this, and even had a trace of fantasy, and now it seems that everything has been said by Monk Daoyan.

Zhu Di looked at the light smile of Monk Daoyan in the firelight, and seemed to remember the scene when he saw each other for the first time.

When Queen Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang was grief-stricken, and he summoned Taoist monks to serve the kings and chant for blessings.

When Zhu Di passed by Monk Daoyan, Monk Daoyan handed him a note and whispered that he wanted to give him a word.

He immediately unfolded the note and saw that it was a "white" word.

At that moment, Zhu Di's heart was beating wildly,

He is the king of Yan, is the king adding white exactly the word "emperor"?

He immediately remained silent and brought Daoyan back to Beiping, and since then he has become the most important advisor by his side.

Whenever he thinks of this past, Zhu Di can't help but secretly rejoice that he didn't miss such a talented person.

He stared at Dao Yan and said in a deep voice:

"What Mr. said is that if we choose the crown prince among our brothers, it will definitely cause chaos in the court, and my father naturally does not want to see such a result."

"It's just that in Yun Wei and Yun Xi, what should we do?"

Dao Yan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to pluck the flames in the charcoal basin, and said leisurely:

"If King Yan just wants to be a King of Yan in this Beiping, then choose Yunxi, if you have other ideas, then choose Yunxi."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Di couldn't wait to ask.

Dao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes shot a fierce color, and he said with a smile:

"Yan Wang is eloquent, can't you see this?"

Without waiting for Zhu Di to answer, he continued:

"The people standing behind Yun Xi are all old people from Huaixi, if King Yan starts an incident in the future, can you have the confidence to compete with one of them?"

Zhu Di frowned, although he was born as a military general and had participated in countless battles, he asked himself if he ran into Lan Yu's old guys, he would definitely be beaten all over the ground.

"So what does Sir mean to support Yun Wen?"

Dao Yan nodded, "Behind Yun Wei is just a party in eastern Zhejiang, mostly civilian officials, it is okay to govern the world, and the world is peaceful......"

"Hey, hey!"

Dao Yan sneered, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

Zhu Di's brows suddenly relaxed, he stood up and laughed:

"It's so good, in that competition in the imperial study, Yun Wei won a big victory, and his father will naturally choose him as the heir of the crown prince."

Dao Yan shook his head slightly:

"It's too early for King Yan to draw conclusions."

"You are a martial artist, don't you hear Yun Xi's words seem simple, but in fact, they are heart-wrenching, do you think Your Majesty can't hear it?"

Zhu Di frowned, and after a long time, he nodded and said, "Actually, I have thought about it a long time ago, but I can't believe that Yun Xi is still a child, and he has such insight." ”

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born of teenagers, and King Yan should not be underestimated."

Dao Yan laughed; "So, in the end, it is unknown who killed the deer."

"And what about us?"

Zhu Di asked a little nervously.

"It doesn't matter."

Dao Yan waved his hand, the corners of his mouth hooked a touch, and he raised a finger and said:

"First, mobilize the power of King Yan in the court, build momentum for Yun Wei, the so-called public mouth, although Your Majesty is wise, but the words of the ministers must not be listened to, and you must not believe it!"

Speaking of this, Dao Yan raised a second finger.

"Second, to win Yunxi, that is, to win the Huaixi party behind him, when the time comes, it will be beneficial to King Yan and no harm."

"But how do you win Yoon-hee?" Zhu Di asked urgently.

Dao Yan didn't answer, but stared at the dancing flames in the furnace, and said to himself:

"If I'm not mistaken, Yun Hee's kid seems to be fourteen years old this year."

Zhu Di nodded, not knowing why Dao Yan suddenly said this.

But he heard Daoyan continue: "When King Yan married the princess back then, I am afraid that he was only sixteen years old. ”

"Sir, you mean that I should find a good family for Yunxi?"

Dao Yan nodded: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, so you naturally ignore this matter, you are Yun Xi's uncle, shouldn't you be Zhang Luo for him?" ”

Zhu Di immediately stroked his palms and laughed, nodded again and again: "What Mr. said is very true, I don't know if Mr. has a suitable person in his heart?" ”

Dao Yan glanced at Zhu Di meaningfully, but replied to the question:

"The princess is the first beauty of my Ming Dynasty, and the old monk heard that her sister Xu Miaojin is also a national beauty."

The words came to an abrupt end here, Dao Yan stopped talking, and started the daily meditation mode again.

Zhu Di turned around and walked out of the house, looked at the ice and snow world outside the house, and walked towards his palace.

.

In the palace, Xu Miaoyun stood quietly in front of the window, immersed in the artistic conception of the snow falling without a trace and being silent.

Although she was over thirty years old, her skin was as firm and delicate as a girl. A floor-length skirt outlines her graceful figure.

The eyebrows are picturesque, and the delicate goose egg face is as bright as a peach and plum under the reflection of the fire.

In an uproar, Zhu Di lifted the bead curtain and walked in with a hint of cold outside the house.

Xu Miaoyun turned around, a flower-like smile bloomed on her delicate goose egg face, and she stepped forward a few steps to take over the silver fox that Zhu Di took off, and then complained:

"It's such a wind and snow, don't go out if the prince has nothing to do, so as not to feel the wind and cold."

Zhu Di smiled and patted his chest: "How is the body of this king, isn't the princess still clear?" ”

Xu Miaojin's face was slightly red, and he took a sip, but he was already smiling, picked up a cup of ginseng tea and handed it to Zhu Di.

"Drink it!"

She said coquettishly, just like the teenage girl back then.

Zhu Di looked at this bright and pretty face, and he was also in a trance for a while.

He stretched out a big hand, stroked Xu Miaoyun's hair, and said with emotion:

"Miaoyun, you have been married to this king for more than ten years, but why is it that this king is getting older, but you haven't changed at all?"

Flutter!

Xu Miaoyun covered her mouth and chuckled, raised her powder fist and hit Zhu Di, and said coquettishly:

"Could it be that the prince encountered something happy today, and he made fun of Miaoyun like this?"

"Don't say it, there's one thing."

Zhu Di stretched out his hand to take Xu Miaoyun in his arms, sat on the edge of the bed, and said:

"Miaojin should be ten years old this year, haven't you, as a sister, thought about lifelong events for her?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned, not knowing how Zhu Di, who had always been rough, could suddenly ask about such children.

"Could it be that the prince has already found a husband's family for Miaojin?"

She asked.

Zhu Di nodded: "I think Yunxi's child is very good, and his age is only two years older than Miaojin, if the two can become a couple, it is really a match made in heaven." ”

"What? Yoon-hee? ”

Xu Miaoyun directly broke free from Zhu Di's embrace and jumped up, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes widened.

"No, Miaojin can marry Yunxi like this?"

She shouted, and Zhu Di was startled.

"Miaoyun, do you have any prejudices against this kid Yunxi?"

Zhu Di asked with a puzzled face, unable to understand why Xu Miaoyun's reaction was so big.

Xu Miaoyun shook his head: "I don't have prejudices, I just don't want Miaojin to marry him." ”

Oh, then it's still prejudiced....... Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun with interest and asked:

"Tell me, why don't you want her to marry Yunxi?"

Xu Miaoyun also seemed to feel that her reaction just now was too intense, so she pulled her hair and adjusted her breathing, and then said:

"Miaojin is a famous talented woman in Ying Tianfu, not to mention her appearance, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even the bow and horse riding and archery are also skilled."

"So what?"

Zhu Di asked with a smile.

"So Yun Xi is not worthy of Miao Jin."

Xu Miaoyun didn't beat around the bush at all, and said directly:

"Yun Xi's child has bad luck for the time being, he has neglected to teach since he was a child, his personality is cowardly, and he is uninteresting, how can such a person marry Miaojin as his wife?"

"But this child is so good-natured that he can't even restrain himself because of his father's death."

Zhu Di said step by step: "Isn't this the greatest filial piety?" ”

Upon hearing this, Xu Miaoyun showed a look of disapproval.

"Are you talking about him throwing himself into the river?"

She sneered: "Nine times out of ten, things in the world are unsatisfactory, sadness is inevitable, if you choose to commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river every time, hehe, do you want my sister to become a widow?" ”

"Uh, this ......."

Zhu Di rubbed his hands, and found himself speechless.

After a long time, he scratched his head and muttered:

"Miaoyun, what if you say this is too arbitrary, what if Miaojin likes Yunxi like this?"

Xu Miaoyun laughed angrily at Zhu Di's words, she sat back beside Zhu Di, stretched out her orchid-like jade fingers, poked Zhu Di's forehead and said coquettishly:

"It seems that your brother-in-law really doesn't understand my sister."

After saying this, she sighed faintly: "Actually, Miaojin already has a crush. ”

"Who?"

Zhu Di was taken aback and blurted out.

Xu Miaoyun smiled, "My sister has been close to me since I was a child, and there are letters exchanged every three months, and my daughter's family is willing to listen to me." ”

She paused, turned her head to look at the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, the corners of her mouth hooked a trace of intoxicating arc, and sighed with a little relief:

"In the letters of the past year or so, Miao Jin often mentioned Yun Wei, and it was only then that I realized that this girl had entered the age of spring."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Di felt his brain buzzing.

"What, you mean Yun Wei?"

"Miaojin actually likes Yun Wei?"

He asked in a trembling voice, barely believing his ears.

Xu Miaoyun nodded, "Later, I asked her directly, and she also admitted the matter." ”

After saying this, she realized that Zhu Di's expression seemed to be a little wrong.

He looked at himself stupidly, as if he was stunned by the news.

"Lord Wang, what are you doing in a daze?"

Xu Miaoyun pushed Zhu Di with disgust, raised her head and asked with a smile:

"Don't you think Yun Wei is bad?"

Well, that's great! ...... Zhu Di smiled bitterly in his heart, and decided to fight for Zhu Yunxi again.

He looked at Xu Miaoyun and said seriously: "Actually, people can change, and Yun Xi will also change." ”

What's wrong with him, why does he keep speaking for that kid?

...... Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di in surprise, but said categorically:

"Others may change, but Yun Xi's kid will never change!"

Zhu Di was silent, and suddenly felt that Monk Daoyan had given him a big problem.

Following.

Zhu Di looked at the Daoyan monk sitting on the futon, and said with some annoyance:

"Sir, the thing I said last night seems a little tricky."

"Is it that the princess does not agree with Miaojin marrying Yunxi?"

Dao Yan asked without raising his head.

Zhu Di nodded, and said with some annoyance: "I wouldn't have told her if I had known." ”

Dao Yan let out a sneer and said unhurriedly:

"The words of the parents and the matchmaker, how can the husband act like a woman."

Although this sentence was rude, it made Zhu Di solemn.

He nodded silently, Dao Yan's words had been made clear.

It doesn't matter if Xu Miaojin likes Zhu Yunxi or not, and it doesn't matter if Xu Miaoyun agrees.

What matters is Xu Huizu's attitude!
