The three brothers returned to the courtyard where the study was located, and continued to gossip, only this time the small talk was closer to temptation.

The Seventh Prince Liang Yan sat on the ground of the study, holding the armor brought out from the treasury of the Chu Wangfu in his arms, and kept wiping it with his sleeves, thinking that he had fallen in love with this powerful and domineering armor.

The second prince Liang Dan and the fourth prince Liang Qi stood in front of the window, looking at the living water attracted by the window, with a few yellow leaves floating on the water, swimming fish in twos and threes, playing with each other.

After watching for a while, the second prince Liang Dan sighed softly: "The fourth brother is going to be chic and comfortable, so that he is envious of his brother, if my father also let me go out of Beijing to become a vassal, in that case, I can be leisurely every day, lingering in the mountains and rivers and reciting poems, wouldn't it be happy." ”

The fourth prince, Liang Qi, frowned lightly and said: "Second brother, don't think so much, you are the eldest son, you should guard the capital division in a reasonable way, don't just care about your own preferences." ”

The second prince Liang Dan shook his head and said: "Brother Wen Taowu, the king of Qi, is known for his great ambitions, and is the best candidate for the prince, as far as I know, many important ministers in the court are interested in him, and then look at me, I can't pick my shoulders and can't carry them, and I am only suitable for being an idle prince." ”

The fourth prince, Liang Qi, said in an undoubted tone: "Second brother, don't be humble, this position of prince is not the cabbage and garlic of the ordinary market, how can you think that if you can't do it, you don't want it."

You are the eldest son of the queen mother, the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor of Great Liang, in line with the patriarchal law and etiquette, and the father asked the imperial Confucianism to teach you the art of governing the country and the family when you were young, all of this is irreversible, you can guard the capital with peace of mind and wait to enter the East Palace. ”

The expression of the second prince Liang Dan suddenly became very ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "If there is really such a natural thing in the world, then I should stretch out my hands and pick it up, but unfortunately not."

I used to think the same as you, until an incident happened more than ten years ago that made me change my mind, and since then, I don't want to get involved in these rights and wrongs, I just want to leave this palace, I just want to leave this majestic city, and live in a place where no one knows me, even if I am an ordinary farmer, I am willing to do it. ”

A wave flashed in the mind of the fourth prince, Liang Qi, and he vaguely remembered that when the second prince was just named the king of Nanyang County, a major event happened in the capital, that is, the assassination of the county king.

At that time, the second prince Liang Dan had just tied his hair, and it was when he was high-spirited and young and vigorous, and on a sunny afternoon, he took the guards of the palace to the royal hunting ground outside the city to hunt.

In the hunting ground, the second prince Liang Dan went deep into the jungle in order to chase a prey, and was assassinated by assassins.

After that incident, the second prince Liang Dan's temperament changed greatly, he no longer liked the BMW longbow, and became a weak person who only knew how to read.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had just ascended the throne for a few years, was furious and threw the relevant people into the interrogation of the Imperial Division.

The result of the interrogation was unexpected, but a few thieves who were not long-sighted went to the wrong place, thinking that the second prince was a son of a rich family, and wanted to kidnap him for ransom.

His Majesty the Emperor was silent about this answer, and the courtiers were also silent, so the matter was left to rest like this, just killing some inconsequential minions.

Everyone knows that this matter is not simple, but no one has investigated it deeply, so it has become a mysterious and mysterious unsolved case.

After thinking about all this, the fourth prince Liang Qi sighed faintly and said: "Second brother, that was in the past, now that we have all grown up, we are already milk tigers with minions, and there will be no more people who do not have long eyes to come to tempt and offend, if there is, I and Lao Qi are your strong backing, and we will never back down." ”

The second prince, Liang Dan, looked at his younger brother with a look of relief, and said: "It's useless for me to be a brother, but I want my younger brother to shelter me from the wind and rain." ”

The fourth prince Liang Qi said: "Second brother, we are brothers, we don't have to be so clear......"

Without waiting for the fourth prince to continue, the second prince Liang Dan waved his hand and said: "There is no need to persuade this matter, I have made up my mind, if the fourth brother has the idea of entering the East Palace, I should go all out as a brother." ”

The fourth prince, Liang Qi, let out a long sigh and persuaded: "Second brother, this is not an ordinary object, and it can still be let around."

I don't know how long it will take to come back from Beijing, you have to take care of yourself in Beijing, if there is anything, I will be there in time. ”

The second prince Liang Dan stretched out his fist and slapped the chest of the fourth prince, and said with a smile: "I know, I am more mother-in-law than a woman, and it looks like I am leaving the capital." ”

The fourth prince Liang Qi pretended to rub his chest, looking like he had been beaten and hurt, and the second prince laughed.

......

Compared with the liveliness of the Chu Palace, the Yan Palaces are extremely deserted.

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, sat alone in his study, sometimes frowning and pondering, sometimes sighing, as if he was worried about his future.

I don't know when, there was a knock on the door, which woke up the sixth prince Liang Tong.

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, rubbed his cheeks and said flatly: "Come in." ”

The door opened, and a little girl with pigtails entered the room under the guidance of a middle-aged woman.

After the little girl saw the sixth prince Liang Tong, she rushed over happily, and kept shouting: "Daddy, daddy..."

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, looked at the little girl who ran towards him with a loving face, and when she ran closer, he hugged her, and asked in a doting tone: "My little Yu'er, why do you want to come to see Daddy?"

The little girl's big name is Liang Hongyu, the only daughter of the sixth prince Liang Tong and Princess Yan, and she has just turned eight years old now.

She looked at her father innocently and asked, "Daddy, are you really going to the Northlands, can you take me there?"

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, first waved his hand to signal the middle-aged woman to retreat, and then said softly: "Yes, your imperial grandfather gave me the title of prince, and I have to go to the north to become a vassal, but I'm afraid I can't take you." ”

Liang Hongyu's little face instantly drooped, and she asked unhappily, "Why?

Liang Tong, the sixth prince, gently pinched his daughter's nose and said with a smile: "How could it be? You are my little baby, the most important little baby, how could I leave you? It's just that when I first arrived in the Northland, I must have a lot of things to do, and I don't have much time to care about you, and the palace there has not yet been built, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat well and dress warmly."

Daddy promised you that as soon as you settle down in the Northlands, he will take you there to join me, okay?"

Liang Hongyu blinked her eyes and asked with a look of embarrassment, "How long does it take for Daddy to settle down?"

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, said without thinking: "It will take half a year." ”

"Oh, so long?" Liang Hongyu's eyes were slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry, "Daddy can pick me up earlier, I don't want to stay here alone." ”

The sixth prince Liang Tong's heart ached, gently stroked his daughter's hair, and comforted: "Good Yu'er, it's about to be winter, the temperature in the north is very cold, and it is not suitable to start construction, but Daddy will try to urge the craftsman to take you over as soon as possible, okay?"

Liang Hongyu hummed heavily and said, "Then Daddy and I are hooked." ”

"Good. ”

"Hanging on the hook will not change for a hundred years. ”

After the hook was completed, Liang Tong, the sixth prince, looked at the daughter in his arms, couldn't help but have a sour nose, and almost cried.

Princess Yan died early due to illness and only had one daughter, this little girl.

Therefore, Liang Tong, the sixth prince, took special care of his daughter, and once had a very unpleasant quarrel with the eldest prince because of disputes between children.

Liang Hongyu, who noticed that her father was distracted, pinched the nose of the sixth prince, and asked in the tone of an adult: "Come back to your senses, return to your senses." ”

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, smiled and pinched his daughter's face, and then asked a rather strange question: "Xiao Yu'er, do you like your Aunt Bingyue?"

Liang Hongyu raised her head and thought for a while, and said, "I like it, my aunt is very good to me and often takes me to play." ”

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, asked in a consultative tone, "Then during the time that Daddy left, he handed you over to Aunt Bingyue to take care of, okay?"

Liang Hongyu thought for a while and said, "Okay then, but don't forget that Daddy didn't forget that we pulled Gou just now, remember to pick me up and go to the Northland early." ”

"Okay, Daddy will do it. The sixth prince, Liang Tong, looked at the daughter in his arms dotingly.

Then the father and daughter gossiped without a match.

After dinner, after the sixth prince Liang Tong put his daughter to sleep, he quietly left the Yanwang Mansion with a confidant.

......

Princess Yongle Mansion is located in Yongxing Fang, which is some distance from the Fang District where Yanwang's Mansion is located.

On the way to Princess Yongle's mansion, Liang Tong and his henchmen were extremely careful to avoid the soldiers and husbands patrolling the city, which can be described as a pass.

Outside the side gate of Princess Yongle's mansion, the sixth prince Liang Tong hid in a corner and sent his henchmen to call the door.

After some strange and bizarre communication, a housekeeper of the princess's mansion welcomed the sixth prince Liang Tong and his subordinates into the mansion.

The three of them twisted and stopped in front of a quieter courtyard.

After the housekeeper stopped, he motioned to the sixth prince Liang Tong to go in by himself, and the henchmen of the six princes were guarding outside the courtyard with a vigilant face.

After the sixth prince Liang Tong entered the courtyard, he walked towards the figure not far away.

After Liang Bingyue saw the Sixth Prince, she asked bluntly: "The Sixth Brother came at night, what is the important matter?"

The sixth prince, Liang Tong, was also not polite, and said his plan, "Eighth sister, but she is going to Wuliang Mountain to cultivate?" Can you bring Xiao Yu'er with you, I am about to leave Beijing to become a vassal, and I am very uneasy to leave her in this unpredictable capital, so I want to ask you to help take care of her." ”

After Liang Bingyue heard this request, she hesitated and said, "Sixth brother, I have to leave early tomorrow morning, are you sure you want Xiao Yu'er to go with me?"

"What, leave tomorrow?" The sixth prince Liang Tong looked at Princess Yongle Liang Bingyue with a surprised expression, and then gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, let Xiao Yu'er set off with you." ”

Liang Bingyue bowed slightly, and asked, "Then I will pick her up at your house tomorrow, or will you send her over?"

Liang Tong, the sixth prince, said: "I am tired that the eighth sister will go to the Eight Princes' Mansion early tomorrow morning, and take the opportunity to say goodbye to Xiao Yu'er, I don't want too many people to know the news, including the matter of my visit tonight." ”

Liang Bingyue nodded and said, "Got it." ”

Then the two exchanged a few words, and the sixth prince Liang Tong hurriedly returned to the Yanwang Mansion with his henchmen.
