Bastards

End of March, beginning of April.

The peach blossoms have not yet fully bloomed, but the pear blossoms bloom quietly, as if overnight, the world has warmed up, and even in the morning and midnight, the cold spring is gone, and the spring is endless, and the world is full of fragrance.

Under the warm sunshine and the sweet fragrance of flowers, all the beautiful women's families responded to the imperial decree and did all kinds of big things in accordance with the weather.

For those who are going to enter the palace, the family members have already accepted the congratulation salute, sealed all the things prepared for the daughter, and confirmed that the daughter has no problems after the short-term crash training of the nurturing nurse, and sent it to the palace according to the imperial decree according to different regulations...

For example, Zhuang Shu, who entered the Palace of the Yue King as a side concubine, could not collide with Zheng Youniang, the main concubine of Chang Wang, in terms of time. Dowry, clothing materials, and accessories had to be evaded and compromised in every way, so as not to hinder others.And according to the etiquette system, Zhuang Shu, the side concubine of Yue Wang, could not be greeted by Yue Wang, but Zheng Youniang could.

The same age as flowers, due to different fates, the wedding specifications are different, and the mood... is like drinking water, knowing whether it is warm or not.

But women in the world are overjoyed if they can fit the prince. Except for Zhuang Shu, everyone is very happy, very satisfied and beaming.

The courtiers of the married clan also joined in the fun. It is better to get married earlier than the princes, so the process can start first and become lively. During this period of Luoyang City, if you go to the East and West Markets, there are big families who buy dowry items everywhere.

The whole city is almost buried in dazzling red!

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not coaxed back his Qingqing...

Kneeling on the washboard is useless!

Cui Yu thought he was ashamed of being a prince for doing this, so he asked Mu Tong to throw him out!Dare not to go?Cui Yu is still angry, do you want him to add fuel to his anger and never forgive you again?Kneeling when you walk away... Who is kneeling!Well, you are the prince, you must be kneeling on the ground and kneeling on the emperor!

Yang Xuan had a cold face.

Little uncle doesn't seem to care about this trick...

Before he finished sighing, he saw that bastard Yang Zhao was dragged into the yard by Cui Ying, poked his head and scolded fiercely. It looked fierce, but in fact it was tender and sweet. Cui Ying made it himself. Dim sum too!

That bastard smiled like a fool, as dazzling as possible...

As for himself, what, what, all, no, yes!

His Royal Highness almost cried.

In fact, being punished by Qingqing is nothing at all, really, it doesn't matter how you torment him, as long as people are here and don't run away, he is not afraid, it's all for fun, and his family Qingqing even looks beautiful when she is angry Well, looking at it makes me want to lick lick lick!

But the long night!At a young age, when I first realized the beauty of that matter, I saw that the days came too few times, but now I can't come for a few days, and I just let him see and not touch——Yang Xuan's heart was itchy like a cat's paw no.

One night, he knocked on Cui Yu's window: "Qingqing... baby... let me touch it, and then continue to get angry, okay?"

What answered him was a teacup and the quickly closed window.

Fortunately, the tea in the teacup was cold, and it was fine to splash it on his face. He reacted quickly enough, took a quick step back, and managed to keep his nose from being slapped flat by the window.

Not to mention, his family's Qingqing is not ordinary, even the teacup for drinking water is better than other people's, and it's whiter than other people's. Put it in your nose and smell it - it seems to still have the residual fragrance of Cui Yu's body!

Yang Xuan stared at the teacup for a while, and finally found a slightly wet place on the rim of the cup, which seemed to have been drunk by someone - and licked it.

If you can't kiss yourself, it's cool to kiss directly!

Cui Mata... Cui Mata really didn't expect that the crown prince, who was clearly distinguished and arrogant, would become an idiot!And lick... lick the cup, what a hooligan!

He blushed again.

In the end, Yang Xuan had no choice but to see that the little tiger could stick to Cui Mata, rub against Cui Mata, and even lick Cui Mata... He was very upset, so he pulled back a little bit of energy and fought the little tiger for hundreds of rounds with a set of boxing techniques.

The little tiger has a wild personality, no one has played with it like this for a long time, of course he will not let it go, it is so refreshing to play with!

In the end, the little tiger failed to win Yang Xuan who had turned over a few tanks and woke up.

But victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. The little tiger said that it is a tiger that can lose. If it loses, it will accept the punishment.

Yang Xuan was also bad, he didn't want the little tiger to ask the mountain to give tributes, so he picked the moonlight and Cui Yu's window was open at night, and called the little tiger to go to Cui Yu's window to fight fists.

He punches, and the little tiger learns.

In order to take care of the little tiger's animal instincts, Yang Xuan played very slowly, and made up a lot of movements of walking down the body, and only occasionally going up, so that the little tiger can have fun and have a funny effect.

Sure enough, when the little tiger kicked its hind legs out of shape again, stood up, waved its two chubby pink claws to the left and right in the air, and accompanied it with a cheering roar of "meow"——

Cui Mata finally couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that there was a door, Yang Xuan deliberately changed his moves, twisted his waist, drew a circle on his hips, and swayed his shoulders, like a girl dancing, more like a drunk who has not walked steadily.

How could the little tiger know the way inside, and he still followed it seriously, twisting left, shaking right, and shaking his front paws from time to time, to be a golden rooster independently... But when he stood on one leg, he couldn't stand firmly, and was tripped by the leg in the air After a moment, he fell to the ground.

Cats have their own cuteness, even if they fall, they are also cute and cute. Besides, who is the little tiger? It is a domineering tiger king who has gone through many fights. How could he be so cowardly and injured?He adjusted his posture in mid-air, and not only did he not get hurt when he fell, he rolled on the ground——

Stand up mighty!And shaking hair!With the word king on the forehead, the whole tiger is extremely beautiful and majestic!

Cui Yu couldn't bear it any longer, and laughed out loud.

Yang Xuan peeked at it, and was also happy in her heart, thinking that it's time to pass this time...

In the end, I went to visit Cui Yu, but I didn't see the little tiger walking up to him majestically, slapping his claws mercilessly, with a serious tiger face!

Yang Xuan was slapped and covered the back of her head, a little dazed.

The little tiger's chin was raised high, and his round pupils were dissatisfied, and he yelled at him: "Roar!"

Tiger King has been learning from you for so long, it's time for you to learn from Tiger King!Tiger King rolled, why are you rolling!

Yang Xuan: ...This is different from what was agreed!Didn't you lose!

However, the little tiger doesn’t reason with stupid humans, its round amber eyes showed a fierce light, it waved its claws, and roared again, indicating that you have to learn, if you don’t learn, you’re going to leave alone today!

Yang Xuan originally wanted to recruit little tigers, but when he took a sneak peek at Cui Yan, his family's Qingqing's eyes were bright, and his face was happy, as if he wanted to see it too...

Yang Xuan was shameless.

He lay down on the ground, imitating the little tiger, with his hands half bent, his legs kicking into the air, and rolling twice.

Cui Yu: "Hahahahaha——"

They all laughed and slapped the window.

Yang Xuan looked at him stupidly, Qingqing is so pretty...

The little tiger stared at the idiot on the ground with contempt, and felt that the Wang character on the top of his head was even more handsome, and it still looks good!Powerful and majestic!

Just after playing for a while, the little tiger got excited and wanted to go outside. He tilted his head to say hello to his master, then jumped on the wall and disappeared into the night.

Yang Xuan was still dumbfounded, Cui Yu gave him a sideways look: "Still not up yet?"

Yang Xuan quickly jumped up, tapped her toes and ran into the room: "Qingqing, don't be angry!"

Cui Yu put one hand on his chest, blocked him from the window, and looked at his clothes with distaste: "Dirty."

Yang Xuan immediately stripped off his outer clothes, threw them on the ground, and hugged Cui Yu through the window in his middle clothes: "I miss you so much..."

Cui Yu felt a little weak in his heart, he actually... also wanted Yang Xuan.

Just when she was about to say something, Yang Xuan grabbed the back of her head and kissed her aggressively.

Yang Xuan's kiss was deep and urgent, as if he wanted to condense all his lovesickness for several days in one kiss, and also seemed eager to confess his heart and let Cui Yu see his sincerity.

He really loves him very much, for him, he is willing to do anything, give up anything, and fight for anything!

Probably feeling through the window was not enough, Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu, lifted him up, carried him out, and leaned against the window frame to kiss.

The kiss was too hot, no matter how provocative it was, Cui Yu couldn't bear it, and subconsciously backed away.

But he retreats a little, Yang Xuan retreats a little, retreats a little more, Yang Xuan gets closer——

In the end, he bent back, and he could reach the table any further!

Yang Xuan finally let him go, and licked his earlobe in a deep voice, "What a soft waist."

Cui Yu... blushed, and got used to it.

He can also put on a straight face and reply calmly: "Why, envy?"

Yang Xuan looked at him with crimson face, red eyes, and thin breathing. He was obviously shy, but he was holding his face. He thought it was very cute, and couldn't help but hugged him and kissed him for a long time: "It's not envy, it's because I like it." .”

Cui Mata bit him.

Yang Xuan hugged him tightly, and sighed contentedly: "Baby, why are you so nice...you are good everywhere, I'm almost fascinated..."

Cui Mata... Cui Mata didn't speak.

Yang Xuan carried Cui Yu to the bed, Cui Yu subconsciously struggled, Yang Xuan kissed him between the eyebrows: "Just once, I promise, just once..."

As a result, of course it can't be just one time.

Yang Xuan interpreted the truth of "a man can't be trusted in bed" with practical actions.

It was so exciting that Cui Yu almost fainted with tears still in the corners of his eyes.

Yang Xuan was still hugging him, and leaned into his ear and asked, "How was it just now?"

Cui Mata ignored him.

"Do you want it in the future?"

Cui Mata turned over.

Yang Xuan turned the person over and kissed her hard, very loudly: "Anyway, I heard clearly, when you were crying... you said you wanted more."

Cui Mata: ...I really want to beat someone up!

"Don't be shy in the future, just tell your man if you want, you know?"

"Who's shy! I didn't—uh—"

Another great harmony of life.

……

Alright, let's get down to business.

Yang Xuan really had a lot of important news to discuss with Cui Yu.

The first one is the gossip he discovered recently: "King Chang got married, and he needs to match the daughter of the Zheng family. I am not the minister of Zongzheng Temple. I took a look and found that there is something wrong with King Chang's birthday. He turned out to be Qixingzi , was born prematurely! No wonder my health is so bad, I just calculated, either she lost her teeth or got hurt there."

Yang Xuan smiled ambiguously.

Cui Yu narrowed his eyes: "Seven months...premature?"

"It's because he's lucky that he lives seven times and doesn't live eight times."

Cui Yu slowly lowered his eyes and took a sip of tea: "Is this unusual?"

Yang Xuan raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean—"

"Maybe it's my conspiracy theory, and I became suspicious when I saw a point..."

Yang Xuan shook her head: "You can't say that. We are in this position. It's a good thing to be vigilant at all times. If you have doubts, I'll check it out. If there's no result, it's fine. But if there's something... just It's a big deal."

Cui Mata nodded: "Yeah."

Yang Xuan talked about another matter.

When Cui Mata was taken captive by the man in Tsing Yi, the man in Tsing Yi made a very absurd threat, saying that the current Cui Mata is not the real Cui Mata, but Li Daitao, because he knew the former Cui Mata and had a handle.

Of course, it is impossible for him to know Cui Yu, and the so-called handle is definitely not his.Unfortunately, Cui Yu forgot that memory, and he was suspicious, so he told Yang Xuan, and Yang Xuan went to investigate.

After investigating the matter of Yicheng back then, he finally found the answer today.

"...Everyone checked and excluded one by one. Until today, a name was confirmed. The surname is Xiu, and the name is Xiuwang." Yang Xuan looked at Cui Yu, "Do you have any impression of this person?"

Cui Yu thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't remember."

"At the banquet in Yicheng, I checked all the participants one by one, and only this name was the most consistent with the relevant events. Unfortunately, this person disappeared a few years ago and has never been heard from. It is very strange."

Cui Yu asked, "Has he ever been to Luoyang?"

"I've been here. I'm very knowledgeable and smart. If there were no accidents, there must be a place in Luoyang's officialdom." Yang Xuan was also puzzled, "Such a person should not be buried. I don’t know, at the most special time, I gave the man in Tsing Yi a message to threaten you—if this man is alive, he must be hiding very deeply, and depending on his behavior, he is also our enemy.”

Cui Yu looked at the rim of the teacup, thought for a while, and then said: "When I was young, I was very depressed, I always hung my head, I didn't like to talk, I didn't like to show off, I don't think it will leave such a deep impression on people. Impressions, so that when I see me now, I feel shocked, surprised, and impossible." He looked at Yang Xuan, "Unless I behaved very special at that time, did something special, or saw and heard something , I was in the wrong mood, just happened to be seen by that person, took advantage of the loophole, and made a fool of myself."

"I just thought, since this person can't be found, it's better to start with myself. What happened to me back then? I have forgotten some things, but the trajectory of my life is still there. Lanqiao has always been by my side. It is rare to leave the courtyard, and it is even more impossible to leave Cui's house."

Yang Xuan understood: "You want me to investigate the Cui family's affairs?"

"I have no direction, I just have to look it up." Cui Yu smiled, "All roads lead to Rome, and there may be rewards."

Yang Xuan doesn't know what Rome is, but this suggestion is good: "Okay."

"This man thinks he has my secrets, and he threatened me when the man in Tsing Yi kidnapped me. I think...he should be paying attention to me." Cui Yu tapped the table with his fingertips lightly, reminding Yang Xuan, "You should stay away from me." It's better, don't be seen by others."

Yang Xuan disagreed with this: "I have a sense of proportion. If someone is staring at you, I can't retreat." He also knew how to comfort Cui Yu, "Don't worry, my people are among the best. You did attract some people when you entered Luoyang. Pay attention, but I'm sure no one is checking you up close. Even if that person pays attention to you, he shrinks his head and doesn't dare to approach you."

"Well, I'll listen to you." Cui Yu smiled slightly, "In addition—sudden disappearance, no news, life or death unknown, these key words also suggest another possibility: this person has changed his appearance and disappeared. You You can find someone who knew this person back then, and then find a painter with superb painting skills, draw this person's appearance, and then add brushstrokes according to the traces of time, or you may gain something."

Yang Xuan patted the table: "Yes, why didn't I think of that!"

Cui Yu leisurely rested his chin and reminded him: "It will take some time."

"No matter how urgent, it's not urgent. In the past few days, I have secret guards, and the information line of the river gang's water transport. The Yue family is quite capable. I have developed a few new channels. Now I just want to try..."

After talking about this, Yang Xuan asked about the recent court observation questions: "Zhuang Li...it's a bit strange. He looks like Tian Guifei, but he doesn't look like him. There is very little contact between the two parties."

Cui Yu also found it a little strange, because he didn't have Zhuang Li as a right-hand man in his memory in his previous life.

At that time, he was only looking for death, and he didn't pay attention to the court. He didn't know which officials were in the court. Unless the person who guarded him talked about gossip, he must have no memory.But for such a high-ranking official as the Right Prime Minister, it is impossible for no one to pay attention...

Reborn in this life, many things are the same as in the previous life. He felt that Zhuang Li had never existed. It was possible that he had existed at that time, but he withdrew from the stage of history early and was screwed, so others rarely mentioned him. He was allowed to When I went out, I didn't hear anything about Zhuang Li.

But it's not easy to say this to Yang Xuan.

Cui Yan shook his head, and asked casually: "My little uncle is very mysterious these days, what did you do, do you know?"

Yang Xuan laughed when he heard this question: "He, he became the big one, and together with the man in white, he set up a small group of men in gray. It should be by relying on the brochure, he successfully found a big leader of the man in gray, and he gained quite a lot. big."

Cui Yan sighed as he listened: "I still haven't surrendered to you. You can check many things, but they won't tell you, and they won't let you know if it's confidential."

Yang Xuan didn't care, "I'll know sooner or later."

……

Yuehua Palace.

Concubine Tian sat on her favorite couch, which was made of expensive materials, exquisitely carved, and gorgeously inlaid, and her mood was not gorgeous at all.

She calculated with her fingers, and found that she had lost too many things since the prince returned to court.

The favor of the emperor, the trust of his son, the ability of his subordinates, the things he is planning... everything is not going well!

Although with her ability, she will be able to recover a little bit, but with this time, it is not good to do other things. After a long time of hard work, she can only return to the original starting point!

Although the crown prince is incompetent, he just beat her!

It can't go on like this...

Concubine Tian Gui narrowed her eyes and called Nanny Gui, wanting to ask about the following, to see if she could find any opportunities.

When I asked, I became even angrier.

No progress anywhere!

The brochures couldn't be found, the men in white were haunted and kept causing trouble, and her people didn't dare to take action, because the men in gray kept watching and issued warnings!The Gu on Cui Mata's side didn't attack either!If there is no attack, the threat cannot be used, so it can only be coaxed.

But is Cui Mata easy to coax?The strategy of the king of Yue has been useless for so long, and people simply don't like it!

She is good at coaxing men, but that kind of coaxing method... I also know that even Cui Yu can't eat it!

This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, but she has to find a way...

After more than ten years, Concubine Tian Gui was once again so anxious that she almost bit her nails bald, racking her brains to find a way.

We must think of a way to kill the prince.

It's not the kind that each has its own gains and losses, but completely eradicates the grass and roots!

It's been almost a year since the Crown Prince was still in power, so if you act at this time, if you do it neatly, no one will suspect her... The key is the timing.

In Luoyang City, Emperor Taikang's power is absolute, and she can take advantage of loopholes in other matters. Such a major event is difficult to handle.

It would be great if we could get the crown prince out of Luoyang...

Thinking about it, Tian Guifei suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up.

Unable to hide her excitement, she walked around the hall a few times before closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, slowly washed and changed her clothes, suppressed all emotions, and asked someone to call the King of Yue.

The king of Yue is coming soon.

Concubine Tian Gui smiled slightly, served King Yue his favorite sweet soup, refreshments, took out the clothes she made by herself, and tried them on for King Yue.King Yue was very supportive, with a big smile, and the atmosphere between mother and child was harmonious.

When the atmosphere was just right, Concubine Tian Gui spoke.

"Mother and Concubine knows that you are in a bad mood recently, that daughter of the aristocratic family..."

King Yue immediately knelt down: "What did the concubine mother say? I don't have any idea about this matter!"

"You behave like this because you have an idea," Concubine Tian Gui sighed, her eyes were complicated, "You and I, mother and son, why are you so separated?"

King Yue was a little embarrassed.

Concubine Tian Gui didn't cry out, she just said to herself: "I know you blame me for being partial to your younger brother, but as a mother, I always hope that the children are well. I help you find the throne, and my thoughts are pure and true. You should feel it." You know, I have never been half-perfunctory in this matter. You can become the emperor in the future, what about your brother?"

"I know that you have a good relationship with your brother, and you will definitely take care of him, but the hearts of the royal family—oh, royal brother, there is no such thing as a good relationship in history. What is the result?"

The king of Yue was a little speechless, he wanted to ensure that he would not harm his younger brother and would wholeheartedly take care of him, but for some reason, he couldn't say anything.

"Brothers from ordinary families will still make troubles over the family property, let alone the royal family?" Concubine Tian Gui said in a faint voice, "The fragrance far away is stinky near, common people understand the truth, how can you and I not know?"

"I thought, in the future, when you become the emperor, let your younger brother go away and give him a piece of fiefdom so that he can live comfortably. As for me, I only care about the affairs of your life. If he has sons and grandchildren, I can't care about them." Well, I'd be dead by then."

King Yue felt a little uncomfortable: "Mother Concubine——"

Concubine Tian Gui raised her hand and blocked his words: "Zheng Youniang is too soft-tempered, and her ears are too soft. Everyone will believe it. It is not suitable to follow you. If you spoil her, she may do bad things. If you don't spoil her, her natal family is so hard. You How do you deal with yourself? It’s better to give it to your younger brother. Your younger brother is pampered and has little future. After marrying the Zheng family, there are only multiple Yue families, but his own strength will not increase. "

"I'm partial to your younger brother and I'm spoiled by your younger brother. Your younger brother has such a temper and doesn't know much about court affairs. There...he's still hurt. If you have such a daughter-in-law, you should...don't worry."

This allusion was too meaningful, King Yue was very panicked, and immediately kowtowed: "I definitely don't have that kind of thought!"

Concubine Tian Gui sighed: "I just want to find a little strength for your brother to support, and I don't want to influence you. This is a mother's careful thought. I hope you can understand."

"Mother..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Concubine Tian Gui asked Yue Wang, "How about the Zhuang family? Is it still in your favor?"

King Yue: "It's very quiet, and very obedient, my son is very satisfied."

"It's good to be satisfied. You are not only brother Shu'er, but you will also be the emperor in the future. You have to be open-minded. Women, they are just toys. Whatever you want, mother will find it for you..."

With this in mind, Concubine Tian Gui said again: "Actually, I called you here today for something. I thought of an opportunity to help you get rid of the crown prince..."

The king of Yue stepped forward to listen.

After listening to Concubine Tian Gui's words, King Yue's eyes lit up, and while his chest was surging with excitement, he felt extremely guilty.

The mother and concubine are really good to him. Although she is partial to her younger brother occasionally, all the resources are really inclined to him.So much care, so much planning, so much effort, all for him!

How could he doubt the concubine mother just because of a little thing?

He immediately kowtowed and swore: "Don't worry, my concubine, my son will do things well, go to the position you want, treat you as the queen mother, and be filial to you for the rest of your life! My son swears that he will never be unkind to his younger brother. As long as you are here, my younger brother will be in Luoyang." , not going anywhere, even if one day the son gets old and the younger brother goes to the fiefdom, the son will make a decree to guarantee that the younger brother will die, and the children and grandchildren will have no worries!"

Concubine Tian Gui's eyes were full of tears: "Okay...ok...you can think so, mother concubine should thank you!"

The author has something to say: Concubine Tian Gui (touching the king's head): My son, I will definitely help you sit on the throne, you must protect your younger brother!

King Yue (excited): Don't worry, mother and concubine!I will definitely be emperor!Will protect my brother!

King Chang (picking his nose): It's decided casually, did you ask me?Did you ask my dad what he meant?

Prince Xiong (▼_▼): Ahh!One by one, they are even more shameless than me!

Cui Yu (＾－＾): Do you have any misunderstandings about the throne?
