Before the two of them were sitting in the chairs, a eunuch came outside to announce the order for the third son of the emperor to enter the palace immediately. Ji Changye hadn't left the palace to build his mansion when he was exiled back then. Therefore, he has not received any royal titles or titles until now, and he has the lowest status among all princes. Being able to return to Beijing this time is also the result of a multi-party game.
Today, the prince is in the line of four, and his biological mother, Concubine Xiao Gui, is the most favored woman by the sage. This mother and son can be said to be the most beautiful existence in the harem and the previous dynasty. However, the Empress Dowager is gone, but the Empress Dowager is still alive and well, and her mother's home, Duke Xiao's mansion, is also a major force in the dynasty. In order to protect the interests of the family, the queen mother forced the emperor to admit her niece into the palace and made her a concubine of sincerity. Concubine Cheng's son, the seventh prince, just reached the weak crown this year. According to the rules of the ancestors, she should lead her family to leave the capital and go to her fief.
This time Ji Changye was able to return to Shangjing smoothly, and the problem lies in this fief. In today's Ming Dynasty, there are only two fiefs left for the Seventh Prince to choose from, and the rest of the lands are already owned. One is Jingzhou, which is located in the northwest inland, surrounded by various barbarians, and wars occur from time to time, which is not only extremely barren, but also very dangerous; the other is Huzhou, one of the most prosperous state capitals in the Ming Dynasty. In order to take care of the seventh prince, the queen mother naturally wanted him to go here, but the prince and Xiao Guifei were not happy.
Huzhou is an important transportation route for water transportation, and the land is very fertile. One year's tax can catch up with half the national treasury. When the seventh prince goes there, he can accumulate a large amount of silver with a little hand and foot. Wouldn't it be difficult to recruit troops and buy horses in the future? This is a huge threat to the prince, and because of the power of Xiao Guogong's mansion, there is already a sign of meddling in the position of the prince. This Huzhou can be given to anyone, but it cannot be given to the seventh prince.
The crown prince and Concubine Xiao were deeply disturbed, and repeatedly lobbied before the emperor, trying to get him to send the seventh prince to Jingzhou. The queen mother was furious when she heard the news, and then she remembered that there was still a prince in the dynasty who had no fief, and that was Ji Changye, so when her son came to discuss with her, she pointed her finger on the map and said decisively, "This Jingzhou will be given to you. The third child. He is the direct son, and he is an adult, so he should have been sealed."
The emperor immediately denied it, "That wicked son violated human relations, messed up the rules and regulations, and made an unforgivable mistake. I didn't demote him to a commoner. It is indeed lenient and benevolent. How can I give him another fief?"
The queen mother sneered when she heard the words, "It violates human relations and messes with the general rules. It's okay for the emperor to use it to deceive others. There is no need to play tricks in front of Aijia. What is the real violation of human relations, Aijia knows very well. Aijia is very clear. I used to be able to open my eyes and close my eyes, but now I have bullied Aijia's little seven, but Aijia can't bear it." He took a sip of hot tea and said softly, "The third child is your son after all. , 10 years of practice with Fa is enough for him to change his mind, if you can call him back and seal him, everyone in the world will praise you for being kind and benevolent."
The emperor had a guilty conscience, and was quite afraid of the queen mother, so it was difficult to say, "I will consider it." In the end, he walked away.
Afraid that things might change, the queen mother instructed Duke Xiao and the ministers to put pressure on the emperor to settle the fief as soon as possible. Although the emperor did not want to give Huzhou to the seventh child, he was even more unwilling to let the third child have the capital to turn over.
So an edict was sent to Kaiyuan Temple in Liangzhou, and Ji Changye had long guessed what the emperor would say to himself when he returned to Beijing this time. Being able to get the fief and the king, he was not touched at all, these were what he deserved, and it was even more within his calculations. The only thing that gave him a headache was that Youshu's little tail was so clingy that he even had to follow him when he entered the palace.
"You stay in the house obediently, and I'll ask Ah'er to buy you crispy duck. I remember that Fuji crispy duck in Shuijing Lane, South Street is a must in Beijing, and its crispy, salty and fresh taste is still delicious after ten years. I have a lot of aftertastes. Don't you want to try it?" He slapped the young man on the top helplessly.
Youshu dared to take a step away from the young man, without saying a word, he only hugged the young man's thin waist and buried his face in his arms. This kind of koala's holding method is the most reliable. Once it sticks, even if Ah Da and Ah Erqi go into battle, they will not be able to tear him apart. Ji Changye couldn't see his expression, so he could only stroke his smooth hair and tug at his jade white ears.
Youshu was unmoved, but hugged her tighter, wishing she could burrow directly into the young man's body. If this dragon energy can be used by him, why is he here? The past ten years have been really hard, sleeping, eating, reading, and even going to the toilet, he has to follow Ji Changye inseparably, even if Ji Changye's staff came to report the matter, he also insisted on staying in the study and refused to leave. Fortunately, he was young, and others didn't take him seriously. When he grew up, the love of being with him day and night naturally dispelled Ji Changye's defenses, and he lived safe and sound until now.
Now back in Shangjing, You Shu understands that if she can't find a way to use the dragon energy, she will die sooner or later. The current Ji Changye is no longer the down-and-out prince, but a serious, fief or prince. He always has a lot of business to do, and he always goes to places he can't go to, such as now, such as the court.
Thinking of this, You Shu tightened her arms more and more, her small face rubbed against the young man's arms, unconsciously acting like a spoiled child.
Ji Changye had no choice but to take such a young man. After all, this is the child he raised with his own hands. He cuddles him to sleep at night, hugs him to read during the day, prepares food for him when he is hungry, and buys clothes for him when he is cold... Not separated for a moment. When he arrived in the capital, he was suddenly separated from himself. It was normal for him to have such a reaction.
Thinking of this, Ji Changye softened his heart, gently kneaded the boy's round earlobes, and sighed, "Forget it, you can go with me if you want. You have to change your clothes. Not just anyone can enter the palace."
When Youshu heard this, she immediately got out of the young man's arms, and said while unbuttoning her clothes, "I'll change it right away, you wait for me."
Ji Changye gave Ambassador A a wink, and the other party held back a smile and brought a scarlet eunuch uniform. The two of them wanted to appreciate Youshu's embarrassed expression, but they couldn't do it, because Youshu was a bunker who had never seen the world and couldn't recognize the origin of the clothes at all. He changed his clothes in two or three times, wrapped two mung bean cakes in oil paper, stuffed them into his sleeve pockets, and hurriedly said, "Okay, let's go?"
The young man is fifteen years old, his youthful facial features are slowly growing, his skin is white, his lips are pink, his eyebrows are pale, and his black and white eyes are full of aura. Wearing a eunuch uniform doesn't look obscene at all. The vigorous vigor of the freshly dressed and angry horses.
Ji Changye pinched the young man's chin and looked at it carefully, and teased, "My family has turned into a beauty. If she were a little older, she would be fascinated by the ladies in Beijing." The words were twisted. Wrinkling his brows, he said again, "This little appearance with red lips and white teeth is too attractive, and it may cause trouble. If you have Shu, just keep your head down and follow me after entering the palace, don't talk, don't run around."
You Shu immediately lowered her head and obeyed obediently.
The two entered the palace and waited in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation for half an hour before being summoned by the emperor. It was midsummer at this time, and the sun was scorching hot outside, scalding the air to the point of distortion. Although Youshu's past ten years have not been very smooth, she has not suffered much, and was almost roasted into coke for a while. He raised his eyes and looked forward, and when he saw the young man make a soothing gesture with his backhand, he suppressed his dryness.
The father and son hadn't seen each other for 20 years. When they just returned home, they didn't show any concern. Instead, they gave two dissents one after another. No matter how slow you are, you can still detect the emperor's indifferent attitude towards the youth. To say indifference is too slight, it is to say disgust.
The same is the end of the world reduced people ah! Thinking of his father, who regarded himself as a debt collector, Youshu sighed silently.
Just at this moment, someone in the hall called, Ji Changye looked back at Youshu, and told him to stay where he was.
This is the forbidden palace. The person the young man sees is the emperor of the dynasty, and the dragon energy on his body should also be very strong. The two dragon qi gathered together, they were the most arrogant ghosts in the world, and they would not dare to get close. Thinking like this, Yu Shu felt at ease, and slowly let go of her pupils and began to practice spiritual power.
After a cup of tea, the eunuchs and guards who were guarding outside the hall began to change their shifts. Suddenly, a trace of yin blew into the hot air of Liaoren, which may be difficult for others to notice, but Youshu, who had been fighting against the Specter for ten years, immediately woke up from the meditation, her mental power was concentrated in her eyes, and she was determined to look in the direction of the yin qi. go.
He thought it was a debt collector, but he didn't expect that the person who came was a woman with a bright red tongue, oh no, it should be a female ghost. She walked up the steps slowly, passed by Youshu, and stepped into the Hall of Mental Cultivation calmly.
You Shu was stunned, never expected that there would be ghosts in the world who were not afraid of dragon energy. In other words, this woman is a more powerful being than a debt collector. If the debt collectors continue to stay in the yang world for disaster, one day they can grow to the level of female ghosts. In other words, when that day comes, even Ji Changye can't protect himself.
Thinking of this, Youshu suddenly became flustered and was about to step forward to take a closer look, but when she saw the female ghost stumbled out, she said in horror, "How can the third prince have the purple dragon energy? Ji Zheng is so good!"
Ji Naiguo's surname, it is self-evident who Ji Zhengze is in the mouth of the female ghost. She came before, and her posture was calm. It can be seen that it has not been half a day since she was entangled with Ji Zhengze, but she hurried away the moment she saw Ji Changye, obviously very afraid of the purple dragon. Ji Zhengze is the emperor after all, so he should have dragon qi to protect his body, but this female ghost is not afraid of him, and he still comes to pester him from time to time. From this, it can be inferred that the female ghost's moral behavior should be higher than that of the debt collector, and he has a bloody feud with Ji Zhengze, and Ji Changye really did. Can restrain the world's ghosts.
Shu's eyeballs turned, and she thought about it. Because it was the shift time, and there was no one left or right, he hooked his index finger at the female ghost, and then walked towards the imperial garden beside him.
The female ghost's blood-red eyes widened, her expression hesitant.
You Shu turned around as she walked, and continued to hook her index finger.
The female ghost was certain that this little eunuch really could see herself. She was already dead anyway, so she had nothing to be concerned about, so she followed erratically. One person and one ghost turned to an unoccupied corner and began to talk.
"How can you see this palace?"
The female ghost opened her mouth, and You Shu knew the identity of the other party. Self-proclaimed Ben Gong, that is the emperor's concubine, and her status is not low; her eyes are bulging, her tongue is long, and she is probably hanged; no, judging from the line-shaped bruise on her neck, she should be strangled. Death, and the culprit is the emperor, otherwise he would not come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the risk of being swallowed by dragon energy. The phrase "good dog's life" is not a love saying goodbye.
"I have yin and yang eyes." You Shu stroked her eyelids and said straight to the point, "How about we make a deal?"
