For the emperor

The night when the eldest prince and the second prince returned to the court happened to be in time for the Lantern Festival, and three days had passed since the envoys from Qi State arrived in Beijing.

Emperor Cang Jing had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was in a good mood. Seeing that it was getting late, he did not force his two sons to enter the palace immediately.Cang Tianci felt overwhelmed, hurriedly arranged the manpower, said goodbye to the eldest brother, and went to the palace to face the saint.

Cang Tiansu took the car back to the mansion unhurriedly, took a comfortable bath, changed into new clothes, and leaned on the couch to read a book.As a result, before the ends of her hair were dry, Duan Yu rushed in.

Since four years ago, they have been inseparable and have never been separated for a long time. However, in the past six months, they first fled to Chengguo, and they just got together and separated for several months. Cang Tiansu is really not used to seeing Duan Yu in such a hurry When I came to see myself, I didn't say anything, but my heart felt much happier.

"Susu," Duan Yu stretched his neck and yelled, pounced on him and gnawed viciously on his cheek, "I miss you so much!"

Cang Tiansu wiped the saliva on his cheeks, and narrowed his eyes in a good mood: "I didn't expect to take such a long time for such a thankless job." If it wasn't for Emperor Jing's unkind frequent troubles, which disrupted his original arrangement , 2000 people can come back at least half a month in advance.

Duan Yu curled his lips, because he was not interested in this kind of turning and turning, and he didn't ask carefully, his eyes sparkled and he pulled him out: "Fortunately, it's in time for the Lantern Festival, hurry up and go shopping with me, I still This is the first time we have a festival like this!"

Cang Tiansu smiled, and raised his hand to touch the wet hair, thinking that it was just two people hanging out, and they would be back in less than an hour, so there was no need to tie the hair.I didn't care about the coolness of autumn, so I went out with my hair still loose with moisture.

In fact, it was also the first time for the eldest prince of the Cang Kingdom to go out to watch the lantern festival.Northwest is not happy to do this, and the people of Yulan have problems with food and clothing, so naturally they are not in the mood to be arty and spend their pockets on an unimportant festival.

In the past, when he was in the palace, although the royal family would hold a banquet at this time of year and hold a lively lantern show in Tianjie, but because he has never been favored, such good things have never been his turn.

Li Mi looks heartless on weekdays, but he is rough and fine. He thinks that he is only eligible to attend a banquet every year on his father's birthday. It's not easy to comfort him explicitly, so every festival, I try to make him happy in different ways.

Every Lantern Festival, when Cang Tiansu wakes up, he will stare at the crooked, ugly and distinctive paper lantern beside the bed, laughing so hard.

It was precisely because his good nanny was embarrassed by her clumsiness that when he was nine years old, he changed the subject and talked about the unusually simple Kongming Lantern, which was also made of paper paste.Thinking about it now, many things really have their own destiny.

Cang Tiansu himself is not interested in the boring activities of playing games with his father's concubines and sons and daughters in a room, but he always feels very warm to Li Mi's clumsy comforting actions.

So even if she didn't care much about the neglect she received, she refused to say anything, and was happy to see her jumping up and down, scratching her ears and scratching her cheeks every time there were festivals.

And this year, although he has the qualifications to attend, since Emperor Jing did not have a clear order that he must be there, anyway, he has been here for more than ten years, Cang Tiansu is not willing to join in the fun, but is more inclined to follow Duan Yu The two wandered loosely.

As for why the future son-in-law was not pulled over to support the scene, Cang Tian always thought that with Li Renqiang's help, naturally nothing major would happen, so he asked a few words, and then put it aside.

The Lantern Festival has always been the favorite of idiots and women.Only on this day every year can unmarried young men and women be allowed to go out from their homes and gather on the street, each of them chooses one of the lanterns placed on both sides of the street.

According to folklore, if you can find a destined person who is carrying the other hand in a pair before Zishi, it will be a lover in this life, a match made in heaven.

Hearing Duan Yu turn the corner and tell him this long-worn legend, Cang Tiansu was amused in his heart, but his face was indifferent, as if he didn't hear his voice, he said mercilessly: " It's really like what you said, why don't we go separately and see if we can each meet our 'beloved' today."

Duan Yu didn't expect to lift a rock and shoot himself in the foot. Seeing that he seemed to be interested in picking a lantern on the shelf, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and silently memorized the style of the lantern, so he had no choice but to force it. With his scalp, he took another lamp with another pattern.

The two came to the fork in the street side by side. Cang Tiansu tilted his head and suggested that the two should walk with their backs and turn to both sides. Duan Yu naturally agreed with what he wanted.

He watched Cang Tiansu walk away from the spot, stomped his feet vigorously, and turned his head to look for the lantern with the same pattern in high spirits.

The red sun is rising!The red sun is rising!

The major general first walked around the place where the lanterns were placed, and saw that the lantern that had been placed there just now was gone, and he understood that someone had taken it away while he was away. Annoyed and complaining, guessing that the person hadn't gone far, he stared at the lamps in the hands of passers-by, and hurried forward to catch up.

Returning to the fork in the road, I don't know where the bastard with the lantern is going. I am afraid that I will miss him, and I am afraid that that person will just run into Cang Tiansu-the "beautiful man" of the prospective wife I have no share.

Seeing that half a stick of incense had passed, the major general who hadn't made up his mind was running around in a hurry, and inadvertently glanced around, and happened to see a young man in brocade clothes and blue robes holding a lamp with a round of rising red sun in his hand, Shi Shiran As he passed by, he regained his energy immediately and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"This...uh, my dear friend, can you change the lamp with me..." Duan Yu looked at the other person's appearance with hostility while talking, and secretly said, "You are really a badass, thankfully I stopped you", feeling grateful in his heart Halfway through, I suddenly found that something was wrong, and my voice unconsciously weakened, and then my mind stopped turning, and I finished speaking entirely by inertia.

The handsome and outstanding man in front of him seemed to be in his early 20s, with elegant temperament and personable manners, but the strange expression on his face at this time made his whole body temperament compromised.

Duan Yu finally pulled out the memory of this man from his mind, looked at the man who had put away his astonishment, and then looked at the dozen or so servants behind him who were so vicious that they wanted to tear him apart alive, and pulled him stiffly. The corner of the mouth: "It turns out to be His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Qi..."

Three days ago, he stood behind the left and right prime ministers to welcome the envoy of Qi Guolai. Although he didn't have a deep memory of this little boy, he didn't have the slightest impression.

Duan Yu saw the man scolding his subordinate who wanted to turn his back on him, he bit his handkerchief in his heart and burst into tears—he had just beaten the shit out of him, and depending on the situation, he didn't like him very much. I'm afraid it's hard to ask for a request...

——Don't wait to see?The major general said this very euphemistically.

From the ancestors, the Duan family was the master who fought against Qi Guo, and the hatred between the two parties has a long history.

Especially in recent years, the names of Cang Tiansu and Duan Yu have been scolded hundreds of times by every Qi countryman in their hearts. Drink its blood", I'm afraid it's not just lip service.

Of course the third prince of Qi State didn't have a good look at him. He obviously had no enemies in front of him at this time, but this was in another country's territory, and his side was restrained everywhere, so he could only knock down his teeth and swallow his blood.

Knowing that this is not the right time for revenge, and thankful that Wang Fuling, who can't hold back his temper, is not here, Qi Deng tried hard to suppress the hatred in his heart, and stiffly pulled out a strange smile: "The princess of your country is still in the palace. Zhong Shangdeng, how come General Duan doesn't care about the beautiful woman, but spends time here instead?"

He suppressed his subordinates and did not allow them to cause trouble. The main reason was that he had received the news that the eldest prince of Cang Kingdom had returned today.If this person is not there, even if the war starts again, I will definitely choose to get rid of the only son of the Duan family, so that I can get rid of a big enemy at the same time.Anyway, since I have a special status, and I am under the command of an envoy, with the pressure from the other three countries, the King of Cang Kingdom will not take action easily.

But it just so happened that the young county king who even his father didn't want to mention it lightly has come back. Based on the rumors I heard, these two people are inseparable from Mengmeng, and the surname Duan is here. nearby.

When it comes to hatred, the people of Qi State are far stronger towards Cang Tiansu than they are towards the Duan family. The Duan family is stationed in the northwest, counting the people who have died because of it in Qi State in the past hundred years, it is actually not as good as the people Cang Tiansu killed in the past two years Many, Qi people naturally hate it to the bone.

But at the same time, in the eyes of the Qi people, Cang Tiansu acted fiercely and resolutely, like a ghost reborn in hell, once provoked, no one can die well.

All the generals who fought against him either died in battle or committed suicide in fear of crime after being defeated. The three generals who fought insane in the history of Qi State were all scared out of him by his means.

What's more, whenever something happened to him, the original Qi people were [-]% sure of winning the battle, but in the end, without exception, they all turned into a one-sided disastrous situation.Over time, the senior officials of the Qi State felt that this person was very evil, so their fear of him was also much deeper than that of the Duan family.

With all kinds of emotions mixed together, Qi Deng really didn't want to turn face to face with a strange person, lest he make a wrong step and really push the already precarious country to a dead end.

Although he didn't want to have a direct confrontation, Qi Deng wanted to take this opportunity to meet the eldest prince to see if he really had three heads and six arms as rumored, and he had a green face and long fangs, so he let his subordinates hold Duan Yu back. Don't let it go.

The name of the "beautiful man" mourning the prospective daughter-in-law is likely to be taken by this little boy. Duan Yu is in a bad mood. Seeing that these people are still entangled, his temper also surged up.

The major general usually doesn't have much heart, but not having heart doesn't mean he has no temper, not to mention that he is full of confidence at this time-how can he speak bravely when he is defeated?He came to surrender on the territory of Cang Kingdom, and he dared to show his face to the Major General?Don't even carry how many catties you have!

The two sides were at a stalemate, and seeing that a dispute was about to arise, Cang Tiansu stood on the street at some point, and called out with a smile, "Ah Yu!"

Duan Yu wailed in his heart, and subconsciously looked at the lamp in Qi Deng's hand, the red sun hidden in the sea of ​​clouds was an eyesore no matter what.

The major general was dejected, and he finally asked Uncle Li for a way to show his favor. He didn't expect such a thing to happen, and felt that it was a skill to be able to decline to his own level, so he simply looked at Cang Tiansu , for fear of hearing the word 'beloved' from his mouth.

--what?

— Huh?

——Ehhhhhhh?

Duan Yu looked at the pattern of the lantern in Cang Tiansu's hand, and then at the one he was holding in his hand, he was stunned for a long time before he realized it, and immediately swept away the slump just now, and grinned so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

The nine golden crows are all shining with golden splendor, as if they were made of gold, each with three legs, fluttering their wings and screaming, extremely luxurious and dazzling.

Kicking away the guards blocking his way, the confident Major General trotted all the way up and gave him a warm bear hug. He wanted to have a butterfly kiss at first, but when he saw Cang Tiansu's much brighter smile than usual, he suddenly Feeling cold in my heart, knowing that the situation is not good, I can only suppress the thoughts in my heart aggrievedly, and stand aside honestly.

Cang Tiansu glanced at the group of people who were stunned on the spot, without changing his expression, nodded slightly and said: "I'm sorry."

Duan Yu happily put the lanterns of the two of them together, the number of Golden Crows changed from nine to eighteen, he was too lazy to pay attention to the group of ignorant people, and dragged Cang Tiansu to move forward.

"You are the eldest prince of the Cang Kingdom?" Qi Deng blurted out a sentence after frowning.

The two people in front didn't even stop, and disappeared without a trace.

"Your Highness, do you want to stop him?" The man who had just been kicked heavily by Duan Yu asked softly, enduring the pain.

Qi Deng stared blankly at his subordinates again, and could only shake his head with a wry smile.
