Everlasting prosperity

During the emperor's and queen's birthday banquet, the emperor personally visited the Baishui River to supervise the construction of a dam to control the flood.Afterwards, he heard that the attendants of King Gaoping celebrated his birthday with a martial arts competition at the emperor's birthday banquet, and gave him special antiques and a mansion for him.

"What are you thinking?" Ji Anjun asked.

The room was full of things bestowed by the emperor and the empress, but Xiao Yizhi looked at these dazzling array of things, but his heart was full of mixed feelings, and he frowned tightly.

"Yuan Qian, don't risk your life in the future." Xiao Yizhi raised his head and stared at Ji Anjun and said.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun chuckled and said, "You won't let me have trouble, will you?"

"But there are always times when I'm not around." Xiao Yizhi said bitterly.

"Not here? Where are you going?" Ji Anjun turned to look at him, his eyes were covered with a layer of awe, and his tone became cold.

Xiao Yizhi looked at Ji Anjun who was suddenly angry, and felt even more guilty.

Fengming Mountain was killed, he shouldn't doubt Yuan Qian.

Inside the Liyang Palace——

Princess Wuyang was sitting beside the empress, pouring tea and gossiping.

"Wuyang, you are almost in the year of peach and plum, are you still unintentional? Liyang Wangcheng wants to marry your son, this team can go around Liyang for a week! You are not in a hurry, I am a mother, but I am in a hurry Very!" The Empress looked at Princess Wuyang and said, she reached out to take her hand and patted it lightly, with a layer of worry in her eyes.

Hearing this, Wu Yang chuckled lightly, and then the face of a handsome and extraordinary young man flashed in his mind, his face blushed unconsciously, he lowered his head slightly, and said coquettishly, "Queen, Wu Yang still wants to accompany you you."

The empress looked at Wuyang who was suddenly blushing, raised the corners of her mouth, and said, "I see, Princess Wuyang has already been seduced by some handsome young man!"

"Queen! Don't make fun of me!" Wu Yang was slightly annoyed, his face flushed even more with embarrassment, and his head lowered even more.

"Is that the attendant of King Gaoping?" The Empress asked tentatively.

Hearing this, Wu Yang suddenly raised his head to look at the Empress, he hesitated to speak, then lowered his head again, and wrapped his fingers around his sleeves.

Seeing Wuyang's embarrassment, the empress raised the corners of her mouth and said softly, "Have you ever thought that when King Gao Ping, who has been imprisoned for many years, comes out of the palace, he will have such a master by his side, and it will be extremely difficult to deal with in the future. "

Hearing this, Wu Yang raised his head to stare at the Empress, and asked cautiously, "Then what should we do?"

The Empress looked at Wuyang's anxious expression and asked, "Tell me, are you really pleased with him?"

"I... um... I know he's just a servant, but I..." Wu Yang hesitated and didn't say anything.

"If he marries you, he will be close to the crown prince. Looking at the relationship between this attendant and King Gao Ping, King Gao Ping would think of saving his life and would not do anything to him, and we naturally saved it." A lot of trouble." The empress explained.

Hearing this, Wu Yang felt relieved, the mother's words were indeed good, in today's court, the princes are vying for power, but they are also under the control of the emperor, and their strength is equal, and although this King Gao Ping has just emerged, but this The sharp corners just emerging from the head are enough to make people care.There is this master by his side, who wouldn't want to pull him over?

If you take control of King Gaoping, at least you will have an extra wing, right?

Furthermore, it may be beneficial to Wuyang himself.

"Wuyang understands, but it's up to the mother's arrangement." Wuyang responded with raised lips.

Seeing Wu Yang's expression, the Empress understood, and then said, "Now, they are staying in Li Yangzhong, it's better to settle this matter as soon as possible."

"My mother said yes."

Accompanying the palace, named Suiyang Residence——

"Princess Wuyang?" Xiao Yizhi asked suspiciously.

"It's Princess Wuyang." A father-in-law said respectfully.

"I was sitting next to the prince at that time." Ji Anjun reminded.

"So it's Princess Wuyang, I haven't seen much..." Xiao Yizhi replied with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Ji Anjun curled his lips, stretched out his hand and patted his head, cursing, "I didn't see such a big man!"

"I only care about you, and I don't care about the others..." Xiao Yizhi was quite aggrieved, and muttered softly.

Incredible.

The father-in-law thought so.

Hearing Xiao Yizhi's words, Ji Anjun blushed unexpectedly, turned around, and wanted to calm down the throbbing that suddenly rushed up from the bottom of his heart just now.

"Since Princess Wuyang is looking for you, let's go." Ji Anjun said.

"My lord, please also enter the palace together." The father-in-law said respectfully.

"Me?" Ji Anjun was a little puzzled.

"The empress is here to invite you." The father-in-law replied.

Thinking of the birthday banquet the day before yesterday, the appearance of the empress was deeply etched in Ji Anjun's mind. He didn't have a good impression of the empress.In addition, that Princess Wuyang was still thinking about Yizhi, and he felt a tightness in his chest just thinking about it.

Inside the Liyang Palace——

Wu Yang looked at Xiao Yizhi in ordinary clothes, plain white brocade clothes, he looked very handsome and dignified, looked at her pair of eyes, like a piece of black and moist dragon tail stone.

"I don't know what the so-called Princess Wuyang asked the grass people to come here?" Xiao Yizhi asked.

"At the birthday banquet that day, the young master's martial arts really opened my eyes and made me very happy." Princess Wuyang said.

"Princess's praise." Xiao Yizhi replied respectfully.

"My lord, do you know who is the most powerful among these many princes?" Wu Yang suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't know whether the guess was true or not.

"The grass people live in Fengming Mountain, and they only came out of the mountain a month ago. They know very little about the Northern Li Dynasty Hall, so they can't answer the princess." Xiao Yizhi replied in a strict voice.

Hearing these words, Wu Yang raised the corners of his mouth, walked slowly towards Xiao Yizhi with small steps.

Seeing Princess Wuyang approaching him suddenly, Xiao Yizhi took a step back to distance himself from her.

"Then let's not talk about these things. I don't know your son, but is there a marriage?" Wu Yang asked with the corners of his mouth hooked.

"Back to the princess, the grass people have never married." Xiao Yizhi answered truthfully.

"Then, do you have someone in mind?" Wu Yang stared at him and continued to ask.

Lover?

Suddenly, a pair of clear blue eyes with a smile appeared in Xiao Yizhi's mind.

Does Yuan Qian count?

"Back to the princess, I haven't had one yet." Xiao Yizhi replied, but his heart was inexplicably pricked by a needle, and the prick was severe.

Hearing this, Wu Yang covered his mouth and smiled slightly, and asked softly, "Young Master, would you like to stay by my side?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yizhi finally understood the reason for being called into the palace this time, and replied, "The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf, and the grass man is a reckless man. I really can't climb high, and I hope the princess will forgive me."

"But if you marry me, aren't you a son-in-law? And you are close to the crown prince, he is the crown prince. Young master, think again?" Wu Yang said softly, a little unwilling.

"Princess, Caomin grew up in the deep mountains since childhood, and has no desire for this court affairs. Caomin is really not a good match for the princess, please think twice, princess." Xiao Yizhi said coldly, his eyes were already indifferent.

Wu Yang took a deep breath and said, "But I just want to keep you by my side, what can you do to me?"

"Princess, please don't force others to make things difficult for you." Xiao Yizhi replied firmly.

"Xiao Yizhi! What's so good about King Gao Ping that you want to stay with him so much." Princess Wuyang suddenly said angrily, pointing at Xiao Yizhi and cursing.

Hearing this round of scolding, Xiao Yizhi stood up straight, looked into Wuyang's eyes, and replied in a daze, "He and I hit it off right away, willing to be by his side forever."

"You! Okay, don't regret it!" Wu Yang pointed at Xiao Yizhi angrily and said loudly.

Looking at the angry Princess Wuyang, Xiao Yizhi took a deep breath, bowed his hands respectfully to her, and said, "If the princess has nothing else to do, Cao Min will leave first."

"you!"

Immediately, Xiao Yizhi quickly turned around and evacuated from the princess hall.

Marry a princess and get close to the prince?It's ridiculous.

At this time, Ji Anjun was following behind his father-in-law, walking quickly towards the depths of the palace.

What came into view was a desolate palace overgrown with weeds.The word "Hua Gong" is impressively written on it.

"The prince is here." The empress stood in front of the palace gate, looking at the plaque above, not looking at Ji Anjun.

He knows where this is.

Birth mother, the place where Concubine An Gui committed suicide.

"Do you know who originally lived here?" the Empress asked.

"I have been confined to the palace since I was a child, how can I know about the palace? Please let the empress know." Ji Anjun said.

The empress turned her head to look at Ji Anjun, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly, "The concubine An Gui lived here back then, and that was really a very popular favorite, even my palace can't see it."

Seeing Ji Anjun's expression changed as expected, the empress raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction.

"Forget it, that's a thing of the past."

"I don't know what the empress is looking for me today?" Ji Anjun asked suddenly.

"At the banquet that day, your nobleman really made me very happy. I don't know if he is married?"

Hearing this, Ji Anjun sneered inwardly, that Princess Wuyang was quick to strike.

"I haven't asked him about this matter. I wonder what the empress thinks?" Ji Anjun pretended not to know, and asked tentatively.

"To tell you the truth, Princess Wuyang was very pleased with him at the banquet that day. Presumably, the princess has also reached the age of marriage. This palace thinks that young man is suitable, so I asked you to discuss this matter." said later.

"If the empress wants to find a good match for the princess, why not find him himself, and come to me instead?" Ji Anjun asked intentionally.

"The young man is now considered to be a member of your family. Shouldn't the matter of marriage be decided by you?" The empress asked back.

"Marriage should be decided by his parents, but he has already lost his parents, so he should also decide for himself. Besides, he is a reckless man, how can he be worthy of Princess Wuyang with golden branches and jade leaves? Please think twice." Ji Anjun said. .

The words have come to this point, and Ji Anjun has explained his meaning. If he wants to marry Yizhi, even if he himself agrees, Ji Anjun will never give in!

"King Gao Ping, if Wuyang hadn't mentioned it to Bengong himself, do you think that Bengong would be willing to marry his daughter to a powerless and reckless man? You can think about it carefully, if you marry Wuyang, it will be considered Taking over the in-laws with the crown prince, in the future, since he used to be a member of your family, you will be considered to have a spine in this court in the future, right?" The empress said slightly angrily, and then seduced her again.

Hearing these words, Ji Anjun's heart became colder and colder, his eyes were covered with a layer of sternness, with a trace of bloodthirsty light, and then they were suppressed again, and replaced with a layer of gentleness.

This empress clearly wanted to snatch her away from him, and wanted him to be obedient.

absurd!

"What the empress said is very true. I have no power in my hands. It is indeed difficult to walk in the court. In the future, I will need a lot of guidance from the empress and prince. It's just that I really can't make the decision about the marriage. Please allow me to make this decision Tell him the matter, and if he agrees, I will definitely tell the empress." Ji Anjun said respectfully, writing with both hands.

The Empress looked at Ji Anjun, who was slightly bent over to compose, and raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, and replied, "That's very good."

Immediately, he walked past Ji Anjun.

Ji Anjun looked at the back of the empress walking away, his eyes became more and more fierce, showing a faint violent look, his hands clenched into fists, his teeth were gritted, and his whole body trembled slightly.

But then he suddenly remembered something, and took another deep breath, trying to suppress the violent aura, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth.

At night, Suiyang Residence——

Xiao Yizhi, who returned to the house, sat at the table, holding a water glass in his hand, staring at the closed door, staring intently, wondering what he was thinking.

"Xiao Yizhi!"

Ji Anjun broke the door suddenly and yelled into the room, only to see that the other party was sitting at the table thinking.

"What did Wuyang tell you?" Ji Anjun sat across from him and asked hastily.

Xiao Yizhi looked at the visitor with a slightly complicated expression, but he answered truthfully, "It's about marriage."

"Are you agreeing?" Ji Anjun stared into his eyes, as if trying to see through the person in front of him, and asked anxiously.

Xiao Yizhi felt a little guilty when he saw it, and shook his head slightly, expressing his denial.

Seeing such reactions, Ji Anjun breathed a sigh of relief.

"What happened to Yuan Gan?" Xiao Yizhi asked.

"Today, the empress came to me because of this. She wanted to use this to draw me into the ranks of princes." Ji Anjun explained.

"The crown prince is powerful and powerful, if you get his blessing, you'll be... well!"

Xiao Yizhi, who hadn't finished speaking, was immediately silenced by Ji Anjun.

"I don't need anyone to protect me, all I need is you." Ji Anjun held his face in both hands, looked into his eyes, and said earnestly.

Xiao Yizhi looked at him and saw himself reflected in his eyes, and reflected, he was alone.

"cough!"

Yao Ling'er, who came from Gaoping, walked around Suiyang Residence but didn't see Ji Anjun, so she asked the servants and walked straight to Xiao Yizhi's room.As soon as I stepped in, I saw this picture.

Ji Anjun let go of Xiao Yizhi slowly, and turned to look at Yao Linger who was leaning against the door frame.

"Please close the door when you two are alone in the future."

"Why is it so late?" Ji Anjun asked, ignoring her words.

"I want to come early, but someone won't let me?" Yao Ling'er said, then stepped into the door, sat down beside Xiao Yizhi unceremoniously, and poured a cup of tea.

"Xun Lan is afraid that you will encounter accidents if you come here alone, and she also has good intentions." Ji Anjun comforted.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. By the way, that Princess Wuyang really looks exactly like me?" Yao Ling'er asked.

"But their temperaments are quite different." Xiao Yizhi suddenly said.

Hearing this, Yao Ling'er smiled lightly, approached him sideways, and asked softly, "Why is there such a big difference?"

Seeing Yao Linger approaching suddenly, Xiao Yizhi narrowed his eyes and replied, "She is far behind you."

"It seems that I really want to send you away earlier." Ji Anjun gritted his teeth.

"Hey! If you treat me like this, are you really not afraid that I will settle accounts with you in the future?" Yao Ling'er frowned and asked back pretending to be annoyed.

"Don't be afraid!" Ji Anjun stared at Yao Ling'er and said.

"That's what you said!" Yao Ling'er stared at a pair of flickering eyes, gnashing her teeth.

"What, you hit me!" Ji Anjun also gritted his teeth, and almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Looking at these two people, Xiao Yizhi couldn't help laughing, Yuan Qian, who turned out to be childish, was a lot of fun.

Within Liyang King City——

"Have you heard that the Great Wu Kingdom has given us a betrothal gift!"

"Yo~ Is this going to marry our princess?"

"There are three princesses on this gentleman, and the two princesses Chengyang and Mingyang are still young, so they are naturally Princess Wuyang!"

"Then it might hit a snag. I heard that the sons who want to marry Princess Wuyang can circle around Li Yang, but they just don't like anyone!"

"But this time the betrothal gift is given by the Great Wu Emperor himself. This matter is open to discussion!"

"Okay, okay, let's not guess here, just wait and see the result!"

On this day, Xiao Yizhi, who had a rare leisure time, did not travel with Ji Anjun, but stayed in Suiyang Residence to rest well.Maybe it's because I'm a little tired from playing these days.It's strange to think about it, why can't he, who has practiced martial arts all the year round, not be able to play for ten consecutive days?

Just a joke, try staying up late with Ji Anjun for ten consecutive days.

I don't know how Yuan Qian lived before, staying up late like this.No, he and Yao Ling'er were left to rest in Suiyang Residence, and went to play by themselves.

Although this Suiyang residence is just an accompanying mansion, it is still complete with all the household items.And the scenery here is also elegant and quiet, which is very popular with Ji Anjun.

Xiao Yizhi lay on the soft couch, looking at the tall and luxuriant cypresses in the courtyard, with the rare breeze blowing, he slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, he heard a commotion, and quickly opened his eyes. A pair of nighthawk-like pupils looked at the high courtyard wall, and saw a white shadow leaving quickly.He quickly sat up, picked up the long sword on the table, and jumped up.

After all, it was a slow step, when he caught up with Fang, the figure in front of him had disappeared.

evening--

"I said, do you feel that there are a few more pairs of eyes in the mansion recently?" Yao Ling'er asked softly, with a mysterious look.

Xiao Yizhi heard the words, bit his chopsticks and looked at Yao Ling'er, then let go of his mouth and said, "Someone is watching us, but they have never done anything, so I don't know what it means."

"Tell me, what would these people think if they saw Yao Ling'er?" Ji Anjun asked after taking a sip of water.

Hearing this, Xiao Yi paused. Although Yao Ling'er was only Ji Anjun's maid, he didn't want anything to happen to her after all.

Yao Ling'er doesn't care, she believes in this Ji Anjun, since he brought her out of the Chenxiang Pavilion, she would not harm her, even if it is to use, she is willing, anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, she has experienced it, right? ?

How happy you are in life, and what you want in death.If she was of some use to Ji Anjun, it would be considered valuable.

Three days later—

"The empress and empress have invited you, so please invite the son, even though he is an old slave, into the palace."
