love palace

When Prince Ke saw the boy's face, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind, a small carrying basket, the torrential river, could this be the abandoned child he picked up, the child named Wei Qing.

Six years ago, it was also winter.A pear blossom troupe that fascinated Lord Ke set up a stage to perform in Wangcun by the Zhuque River Valley. He sat in a silver-topped sedan chair and brought four family members to listen to the opera.

On the way, the prince lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and while humming a little tune, he looked at the rushing water of the river.

Thinking of the magnificent river valley plains and cattle and sheep pastures at the foot of the mountain, all of which are owned by the family, one can't help being very proud, but it's a pity that the princess only gave birth to the princess, not a son.

Lord Ke always felt that something was missing, so he could only sigh.A gust of cold wind suddenly poured in, making him shiver all over. Just as he was about to put down the curtain, he saw a bamboo raft floating on the shoal by the river.

There seemed to be a bamboo basket on the bamboo raft, not like it was in the village. It was not the fishing season, and those bamboo rafts and boats had already been put away.

"Come on, go down and have a look, what is that?" Prince Ke pointed in the direction of the bamboo raft, and a servant immediately ran down to look.

He pulled the bamboo raft, jumped on it, carefully grasped the edge of the bamboo basket, took a look inside, and yelled "Wow!".

Ke Xian heard him yelling in panic, "My lord! It's a baby! Still, still alive!"

"Quick! Go over there!" Ke Xianzhong slammed on the sedan door, and the bearers turned around and hurriedly carried it towards the river.

When the servants took the child out of the bamboo basket and handed it to Lord Ke, he couldn't believe his eyes. He was really a real child. His eyes were tightly closed and his facial features were beautiful, but his mouth was black and purple from the cold. The breath is weak.

"I'm afraid the poor family can't afford it, so let's throw it in the river." The servant couldn't help saying, "This baby is really lucky, and he can survive such a cold day."

"Don't talk about it, let's see if it's a boy or a girl?" Prince Ke stared at the child's face.

The servant then untied the frosted little clothes, looked at them, and said, "Go back to the lord, it's a boy!" Then he threw away those clothes, took out clean clothes from the bag, and wrapped him up carefully.

"Hurry up, give me a hug." Prince Ke was already full of joy at the moment, thinking that this place is really a blessed land, not only the harvest is so good, but he also sent him a son!

"My lord, I don't know whose family abandoned the baby." The servant wanted to say that his origin was unknown, and it might not be appropriate to take him in directly. If he was a criminal, he would be punished by the nine clans.

"Sigh, it must be the woodcutter in the mountains who has no money to raise him, so give it to me." Prince Ke didn't care. Now that the world is peaceful, he has never heard of anyone committing any serious crimes, so he insisted on carrying the child into the sedan chair.

Because the sedan chair was very warm, after a while, the child's face turned red, and his limbs began to move.

"You look so cute, why did your parents abandon you so cruelly?" Prince Ke became happier the more he saw it, and he also sympathized with his experience.

Afterwards, Lord Ke found an oval jade pendant from the child's body. It was not a priceless treasure, but a jade that can be seen everywhere, and there are everywhere in the market.

A strange red bird is carved on the front of the jade pendant, with two pairs of mighty wings spread out. Its beak and claws are sharp, more like a beast. It may be an auspicious totem similar to a phoenix, but Lord Ke has never seen this figure before. .

On the back of the jade pendant, two strong and powerful characters are engraved──"Wei Qing".

The prince pondered for a long time, there is no one with the surname "Wei" nearby, this child may be a stranger, his parents may have encountered an accident.

With the wind and snow and the rapid current, even if the boat capsizes in the Zhuque River, it is not uncommon.

──It would be clean to die, Lord Ke has already made up his mind to accept this child as his adopted son, as for the name, let's call him Ke Weiqing.

From then on, King Ke's Mansion no longer only has the princess and no heir.

Prince Ke had a good plan, but as soon as he returned to the palace, the princess made a fuss, insisting that the baby was a bastard that the prince secretly gave birth to outside.

Even the General Protecting the Nation was alarmed, and came to the mansion to ask about this matter. How could Prince Ke dare to offend General Zhao, who is under one man and above ten thousand people, so he stopped saying that he wanted to accept Ke Weiqing as his adopted son.

"Then let each of you take a step back and treat the mansion as a slave. Don't be upset, Lian'er. It's also your fault that the prince has no son. If you give birth to a son as soon as possible, you won't have to start this dispute. "After repeated mediation by General Zhao, the couple reconciled as before.

During these years, Lord Ke still thought of this poor child from time to time, but he didn't dare to visit him. He only knew that he was adopted by the cook and later worked in the stables.

As the little princess gradually grew up, she grew up very pleasantly, and the family was happy, so Lord Ke no longer insisted on having a son.

I thought this matter was over, but I didn't expect that the princess fell off the horse now, and the child who was beaten seemed to be the child.

Lord Ke couldn't bear it all the time. After all, it was his life that he saved, so he spoke to stop the punishment.

"Go and put him down." Lord Ke did not forget to order before leaving the stable.

"Yes." A servant hurried over to untie the rope, and put the stable boy with no good meat on the chest, abdomen, back, and arms, and put him on the haystack. He had already passed out.

"His...is his name Wei Qing?" Prince Ke carefully confirmed.

"Yes, my lord." The servant gave the lord a suspicious look, "We are used to calling him Xiaoqing."

"Oh, maybe this is his destiny." The prince seemed to be talking to himself, and after staying for a while, he walked away, as if he finally understood that it was impossible for him to have this child, Wei Qing was doomed to be a lonely child.

※※※

Wei Qing was thrown on the haystack in the stable like this, and his life was up to him.The servants came and went, each busy in their own way, and by the time the night was quiet, the blood on Wei Qing's body had already frozen three layers.

A three-month-old bay red pony squeezed out of the fence, came to Wei Qing's side, sniffed his weakly breathing face, then bent its knees, and fell asleep next to him.

Wei Qing's half-closed eyes trembled rapidly, as if fighting a fierce struggle, and his white and chapped lips moved from time to time, "It's so hot...so cold...it hurts...mom...it hurts!"

In front of him was a sea of ​​flames like purgatory, forests, houses, and the sky were burning crazily. Wei Qing was in it, his clothes were smoking, and he was so hot that he cried, his skin hurt, his hands and feet hurt, and the flames were like the claws of wild beasts. , strangling him tightly!

Suddenly, a figure broke into the fire scene... I couldn't see her face clearly, but I could hear her calling eagerly.

'Qing...Qing'er...where are you? ! '

Before escaping from purgatory, the next moment, he fell into the bone-chilling water again. The rushing water flowed over his head, and the bone-piercing pain penetrated into the flesh burned by the fire, making his limbs uncontrollable Cramp up.

"Woooo...!" My mind was in a state of confusion. I couldn't tell whether I was in the fire or the water. I only knew that my whole body was burning like needles, and the sky and the earth were all black.

The woman named Qing'er disappeared, and the smell of blood filled his lips. Wei Qing suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain. He woke up from his lethargy.

The stable boy had to get up and clean before the rooster crowed at dawn. Wei Qing had already formed a habit. He struggled to wake up, but found that his body was covered with dried blood.

If the little red horse hadn't been snuggled close to him, he would have frozen to death that night.

"It hurts!" With a slight movement of the limbs, severe pain came from all directions. It was not the first time that Wei Qing was covered in bruises. Most of the grooms had bad tempers, and it was common for them to beat the stable boy violently.

He knew that he had to change his tattered clothes now, but the blood and rags were frozen in the finger-wide wound, and when he pulled it, he was so painful that he burst into tears!

When he was beaten yesterday, he didn't beg for mercy, because he knew he didn't make a mistake!

But now, grievance, sadness, sadness, all kinds of feelings filled his heart, tears fell down, what worried him most was the empty loneliness in his chest.

Who is that woman?Could it be his mother?But others said that when he was picked up from the Zhuque River, no one else was seen.

Maybe it's a shipwreck.

Because the memory of his childhood was blurred, Wei Qing could no longer remember the appearance of his parents, and he was not even sure whether he was really accompanied by his parents.

The little red horse snorted and stood up. Wei Qing stroked its head gratefully, thinking to himself, it's a good thing that the concubine was the one who punished him.

The princess doesn't know how to ride a horse, and if she rides the red eagle without authorization, she will definitely be thrown off. At that time, the red eagle will be killed with a stick.

That's why Wei Qing tried his best to stop the princess from riding a horse. He didn't want to see the princess's injury or Chi Ying's tragic death.

What worries Wei Qing even more is that the little red horse cannot live without a mother, and it cannot become an orphan like himself.

At dawn, the red eagle yelled inside. Although the little red horse was reluctant to part with Wei Qing, she still walked back slowly.

Seeing the mare sniffing the calf affectionately, Wei Qing burst into tears again, "Mother... If you are still alive, why didn't you come to me?"

However, this sad mood was quickly covered by pain and hunger. He curled up and fell asleep trembling...

"Put him here, how do you guys do the work? Carry him to the woodshed." In the end, it was Wei Qing who grew up with him. The cook came to the smelly stable and asked Ali to take Wei Qing away.

The firewood room is also Wei Qing's residence. The cook gave him some medicine, changed into clean clothes, looked at the shocking welts, and kept saying "Sin!"

But as a slave, it is lucky to be able to save his life after making a mistake, the cook thought so, and secretly left him a steamed bun and two pancakes before closing the creaking wooden door and going out.

※※※

Suiyang, the capital city, the imperial palace.

The heavy snow that had been falling all night had stopped, and the howling wind gradually weakened. The eunuch on duty was stamping his feet tremblingly while looking out at the sky through the window.

The Fenghe Hall, the residence of the Ninth Prince Chunyu Huangye, is near the hundred-acre lotus pond.

The prince's residence was strictly guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, but there was no one in front of the ninth prince's door. A little eunuch in green, holding a cup of cold tea, walked into the courtyard on the creaking snow.

As long as the weather is cold, the royal chef will cook ginger grass tea early in the morning to dispel cold and dehumidify, generate heat and warm the abdomen, for the royal family to take at any time.

The little eunuch was sent by the kitchen to deliver tea, he looked around, but there was no one in the courtyard, so he boldly walked into Huang Ye's study.

Like the hall outside, the room is furnished with first-class ebony furniture. A rectangular desk is placed in the center. The desk is full of scrolls, chess records, and painting collections. Although they are piled up like a hill, they are not messy at all.

A burnt out candlestick was quietly standing in the corner of the desk. It seemed that His Highness Ninth Prince read by candle all night again last night.

The little eunuch put the celadon tea bowl on the desk, looked around again, and after confirming that there was no one there, he took out a small packet of medicinal powder from his sleeve.

Before the tea was delivered to the imperial dining room, the old eunuch tried it, so no poison could be put in it.And along the way, he would meet many maids and guards, and he had no chance to do anything.

However, the eldest prince Yaozu had paid a lot of money for the guards of the Fenghe Hall, so he used excuses to delay when he was on duty in the morning and evening, so that the Fenghe Hall would be left unattended for half an hour.

The little eunuch was originally a member of the Great Prince's Palace, but after some disguises and manipulations, he became an errand for the imperial dining room. This is a great opportunity for him to make meritorious service!Otherwise, with him, a young eunuch who just entered the palace, when will he be able to honor his ancestors!

After the little eunuch shook the white powder into the tea bowl, he shook it carefully until the powder was completely dissolved.

"Such a little arsenic, maybe a cup of tea is not enough?"

Suddenly, a deep voice sounded from behind the little eunuch, before he could turn around, blood spurted out as his neck cooled down!

Because the blade pierced the throat, the little eunuch naturally couldn't make a sound, but struggled a few times in pain, and died in front of the desk!

"You all come in." The young man was dressed in a blue brocade dress, with silky black hair and an agate jade crown. He looked as old as a young eunuch, but his expression and tone seemed extremely majestic.

"Your Highness, you are really good at predicting things!" Four loyal bodyguards walked into the study, all admiringly.

It was Huang Ye's arrangement to let the Fenghe Palace display an empty city and lure spies to come to their death.

As the saying goes, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The eldest prince's recent actions, such as arranging young eunuchs to enter the imperial kitchen, bribing the guards guarding the gate many times, etc., must be to poison other princes in food.

Huang Ye simply used his tactics and eradicated a cancer buried in the imperial dining room.

"Take him out and throw him at the door." Huang Ye said coldly, took a silk handkerchief, wiped off the blood on the dagger, and inserted it back into the sheath.

"The door?" The guards looked at each other, shouldn't they secretly bury the corpse?

"Well, you just do it later." After Huang Ye finished speaking, he sat back in front of the desk and read his military book again.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The guards hurriedly carried away the young eunuch's body, washed away the blood on the bluestone floor, wiped the edge of the desk, and everything was back to normal.

The two Royal Guards came to take over, and when they saw the lying corpse, instead of yelling, they tiptoed and quickly disposed of it, making the guards who were ambushing in the courtyard amazed.

Could it be that His Highness the Ninth Prince wants to give the First Prince a warning?That's why they didn't bury the corpse, and the Imperial Forest Army would definitely report it.

But what the guards didn't expect was that Huang Ye had other thoughts in his mind, that is, the eldest prince would definitely kill people to silence him when his deeds were revealed!

None of the imperial guards who were bribed could survive this afternoon.

You don't need to do it yourself to find out which Imperial Forest Army has accepted the benefits of the First Prince, the First Prince will kill them all by himself.

Sure enough, before noon, there was news that the Imperial Forest Army stumbled and fell into the moat, and there were quite a few dead, a total of seven people.

However, it is normal for people to die in the palace, the eldest prince should communicate with the empress dowager, and if this matter is suppressed, it will not reach Emperor Wen's ears...

"His Royal Highness, Concubine Ping invited you to have lunch together." A maid in pink prostrated herself in front of the desk and told Huang Ye.

"Understood, I'll go over now." Huang Ye knew in his heart that if the mother concubine was fine, she would never invite him over for dinner.In the palace, there is only one mother for the princes, and that is the queen.

In order to avoid suspicion, those concubines and concubines seldom interact with their own sons, so as not to attract criticism of "forming cliques and plotting wrongdoing".

The rules of the palace will never be guessed by the world. Right from wrong, right from wrong, will never be discerned. In the long river of twists and turns, only the truth of "winner and loser" will never change.

What the princes are fighting for is not only the position of the crown prince, but also the prosperity and decline of a family, and even the life and death of the whole family.

Huang Ye couldn't lose, and he didn't think he would lose to anyone.

After making some modifications, Huang Ye, accompanied by maids and eunuchs, went to Luoxiang Palace, where the concubine's mother lived.

※※※

Concubine Ping, originally the princess of Qinglu Kingdom, married to Dayan 20 years ago in order to quell the war between Qinglu and Dayan.And the emperor not only has three thousand beauties in the harem, but also Empress Ning who dotes on his mother all over the world.

This foreign woman who moved into the harem for political purposes did not arouse the favor of Emperor Wen, so she was named "Ping", which means that this beauty is like duckweed. Although she is in Dayan, her heart is far away in Qinglu. Uncertain.

Since Emperor Wen was prejudiced in his heart, he would not take Ping Meiren seriously, and he only stayed for a few nights, and never summoned her again.

But it was during the few days of rain and dew that Pingmei became pregnant and gave birth to the ninth prince of Dayan Kingdom in a night of lightning and thunder, and the night was like day.

Emperor Wen was shocked when he saw the wonders of the sky, so he named the prince "Huang Ye", which means bright and brilliant, and had high hopes for him.

Also in the same year, Emperor Wen sent his general Zhao Guowei to the west and wiped out Qinglu in one go. Although it only expanded Dayan's territory to the west by a small corner, it also stabilized the western border.

As the years passed year after year, people in the palace gradually forgot Qinglu Kingdom and Concubine Ping's life experience. She lived in Luoxiang Palace, listening to Dayan's pipa and zither music, enjoying the glory that a concubine should have Fugui, no one knows what is going on in her heart.

When Huang Ye came to Luoxiang Palace, Concubine Ping had already arranged a table of famous wine and delicacies. After bowing to pay her respects, Huang Ye asked her mother and concubine if there were any other guests?

"My son guessed right, but you must not know who it is?" Concubine Ping smiled sweetly.At this time, the eunuch in red came in to announce that General Zhao had arrived.

"Zhao Guowei?" There was a hint of surprise on Huang Ye's face. The general who protects the country has a high position and has more than [-] elite soldiers in his hands. He is the most trusted and feared figure by the emperor.

He has always been a loner in the court, that is, he doesn't make friends with other generals, and he doesn't pay attention to the prime minister, only others flatter him.

Huang Ye stood beside the concubine mother, and Zhao Guowei strode into the magnificent hall with big strides.

"My minister greets Empress Ping and His Highness the Ninth Highness." Zhao Guowei had a bearded face, piercing eagle eyes, and a square jaw, as mighty as a lion. His voice was like a bell, and he bowed to salute.

"General Zhao doesn't need to be too polite, haven't you eaten yet?" Concubine Ping said kindly, "This place is no different than the Changchun Palace, there are many rules, how about you and His Highness the Ninth Prince eating together?"

"I'm so disrespectful!" Zhao Guowei didn't stick to etiquette. After getting up and bowing, he sat down on the guest table under the guidance of the maid.

But after all, men and women are not intimate, Concubine Ping retreated behind a veil under the guidance of a maid, and set up another table. There were carp fish, jade rabbit cabbage, etc., and ten delicacies were all served in silverware.

"General, please." Huang Ye cupped his hands and said.

"Please, Your Highness." Zhao Guowei said that he was eating, but he had been secretly observing the prince who was said to be talented and martial arts.

At the age of fifteen, he is much younger than the 36-year-old Eldest Prince Yao Zhong, but in terms of demeanor alone, he is dignified and dignified, I do not know how many times stronger than the Eldest Prince.

No wonder Emperor Wen always looked at him differently, saying that this son came from the heavenly court, not only capable of literature and martial arts, but also knowledge of astronomy and geography, which is really rare.Zhao Guowei guessed that if there were not a few older princes in front of him, maybe the emperor had already named Huang Ye as the prince.

This treasure still has to bet!But the Ninth Prince is so smart, can he be at his mercy in the future?

Zhao Guowei couldn't help thinking about how delicious the table was full of delicacies, but he didn't taste it.

After lunch, Zhao Guowei wanted to play a game with Huang Ye under the pretext of hearing that the Nine Princes were good at chess.

Although Zhao Guowei is a martial artist, his pen and ink skills are really not good, but he loves to play chess, and he is still a good player.

"How dare I show my ugliness in front of 'Zhao Chess Sage'." Huang Ye smiled slightly, his appearance was also the most outstanding among all the princes.

General Zhao has seen many beauties and handsome men, but his heart still trembles because of Huang Ye's smile.Emperor Wen is a well-known handsome king in the world, and the princess of Qinglu Kingdom is also famous in the world for her beauty. As the son of the two, Huang Ye is really stunning.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince laughed at me. Chess Master is just a false name." Zhao Guowei said with both hands in his arms to cover up his gaffe.

※※※

After setting down the jade carving chessboard and brewing a pot of Biluochun, Zhao Guowei thought that Huang Ye would take the opportunity to ask him, why did he come to Luoxiang Palace?He is a dignified general who protects the country, and when he comes to the harem, of course it will not be as simple as eating and playing chess.

But Huang Ye didn't open his mouth all the time, he was concentrating on contemplating, concentrating on setting down Hei Zi who was going ahead.

Infected by him, Zhao Guowei also corrected his mentality and set up a chess game. This sunspot's offensive is indeed fierce, but his defense is insufficient, and he is still young and vigorous!

And with the increasing number of chess pieces, Zhao Guowei's white pieces are broad and imposing, while Huang Ye's black pieces occupy four big corners, but they are weak in the middle, and a team is fleeing in a hurry. If he makes a careless move, he will lose his breakthrough best time.

Sure enough, Huang Ye's impatience caused his mistake. Zhao Guowei took advantage of the victory and pursued, taking away six sunspots one after another, further expanding the victory.

Huang Ye's expression became serious, but his right hand was still moving.

Zhao Guowei was full of air and a smile on his face.Thinking that the child prodigy was nothing more than that, he took the opportunity to open up the conversation and chatted with Huang Ye about governing the country.

"Your Highness, what do you think is a 'jun'?" Zhao Guowei asked tentatively.

"The king is the group. Those who win the group in the world are invincible in the world." Huang Ye responded without raising his head, and placed a chess piece with his slender fingers.

"Well, with the land and the people, the king is naturally extremely dignified." Zhao Guowei nodded and asked again, "What is the way of 'being a king'?"

"Government means uprightness. Therefore, 'uprightness' is the foundation of governance. I think that one upright ruler will bring order to the world."

"What about the way of the monarch and his ministers?"

"The emperor treats the minister with courtesy, and the minister treats the emperor with loyalty." Huang Ye raised his head, staring at Zhao Guowei with dark eyes, "The emperor treats the minister like a brother, and the minister treats the emperor like the heart."

"Okay! What a brother and sister!" Zhao Guowei said with a big laugh after taking a few pictures, "Thanks to the Ninth Prince who thinks highly of the old minister, if he needs the help of the old minister in the future, he will definitely be heartbroken and willing to do anything!"

"General Zhao, with your words, I can feel at ease." Huang Ye did not refuse Zhao Guowei's allegiance, but put down his hands and said, "I am the one to lose this game."

"Oh?" General Zhao looked down, Huang Ye had indeed lost a part of the world, and he was even more happy, but he still said, "Where, His Highness has accepted it."

The two tasted some more fragrant tea and palace snacks. It was almost evening before Zhao Guowei got up to bid farewell to Concubine Ping and Huang Ye.

As soon as Zhao Guowei walked out of Luoxiang Palace, the smile on his face disappeared, and he put on a serious look, but his heart was full of joy.

This trip was not in vain, Huang Ye seemed smart, but he was just a nerd, and most of the principles of governing the country he talked about were in "Shuowen", which was not worth mentioning.

Although she is good at chess, she has an impatient temper, doesn't know how to worry about the future, and goes on a rampage, so it is difficult to become a master after all. As for Concubine Ping, a concubine who fell out of favor in the harem, she is not to be feared.

That being the case, he can safely recommend the Nine Princes to the emperor, is this also fulfilling Emperor Wen's wish?

Zhao Guowei couldn't help walking a few steps faster. He purposely went to Luoxiang Palace instead of Fenghe Palace, because he didn't want people to see his connection with the Ninth Prince, as the so-called "secrets" should not be leaked.

After Zhao Guowei left, Huang Ye just watched the black and white chessboard silently. This game was very dangerous. General Zhao should win, but he couldn't be aware of it.

Zhao Guowei should have come to find out the way, and of course it would be the best to win over the court generals to help him, but if he is too clever and he realizes that he intends to make arrangements, and if he tries to trap him step by step, I believe the situation will become very unfavorable.

Zhao Guowei didn't know that Huang Ye had a heart hanging high every moment he spent with him.Be defensive, but not too defensive; smart, but not too smart; everything must be done just right, so that you can fool the old fox Zhao Guowei.

"Ye'er." Concubine Ping seldom called Huang Ye's baby name, and asked softly, "Seeing that you have coaxed General Zhao so happily, and you have sworn to serve him to the death, hehe, but your way of 'being a king' should not be like this okay?"

"Heh." Huang Ye smiled lightly, and then showed the demeanor that a 15-year-old boy should have, "Your Majesty, Your Honor."

"Oh?"

"The emperor, he must be a man of incomparable dignity and rule the world!" Huang Ye said to his concubine with burning eyes.

"Well said." Concubine Ping said with emotion, "The royal family of the Son of Heaven is supreme and noble, and it has been the foundation of the dynasty since ancient times. Just having "righteousness" cannot rule the country. Your grandfather is too "righteous" to be in the world." The end of the change of owner!"

When Concubine Ping learned that her father died in battle, her mother and more than a dozen brothers and sisters were not spared, how could she not feel pain?But for the sake of Huang Ye, who was still in her infancy, she had no choice but to drag out an ignoble existence.

Emperor Wen betrayed his promise and annexed Qinglu, and she wanted her son, the last drop of blood of Qinglu Kingdom, to inherit the throne of Emperor Dayan!

Concubine Ping worked hard to cultivate Huang Ye, and even took out a martial arts secret book "Wu Shuang Jian Jue" that her father gave her before she married Dayan.

This is Qinglu's national treasure. When Zhao Guowei led his troops into the Qinglu Palace, he sent people to search for it many times, but they all failed. No one knew that this magical secret book would be in Dayan's harem. In the concubine's hand.

It's a pity that Concubine Ping doesn't know martial arts, and this secret book is written in ancient swordsmanship, so she can only teach Huang Ye to know the words on it, which are Qinglu's characters.

Fortunately, Huang Ye has a good talent and is willing to practice hard. At the age of three, he knew how to zigzag, and when he was six years old, he already had a good appearance in sword dancing, full of aura!

When Huang Ye was older, Concubine Ping would not be able to use the name of the prince's young age to accompany him often, so that she could not meet once a month.

But the mother and the child are connected by heart and flesh, and sometimes Huang Ye can understand what the concubine mother expects of him without too much words.And he was not willing to lag behind the other brothers, and secretly swore that he would come to Yuyu as the king and proclaim himself emperor in the court!

It's just that he can't show his sharpness too much now, and has been enduring it all the time. Zhao Guowei will only take the initiative to approach him when he thinks he is a brighter young man.

Huang Ye picked up a sunspot and landed on the twelve paths, the chess game immediately changed dramatically.

"Heh, from this point of view, you are the one who wins!" Concubine Ping took a deep breath and said, it was this sunspot that cut off all of Bai Zi's vitality, and Hei Zi was able to come back to life and occupy the world.

At such a young age, Huang Ye's chess skills are so superb that even Concubine Ping was surprised.

"...The king treats his ministers like brothers and sisters, and the ministers treat him like his heart." Huang Ye said suddenly, "These two words are sincere."

"Huh?" Concubine Ping was a little puzzled.

Huang Ye didn't go into details, and patiently put the chess pieces back into the wooden box one by one. The people around him were like these chess pieces. If they are arranged well, they can kill all directions and rule the world.

However, Huang Ye lacked trustworthy people around him. Although the four personal guards were loyal, they still lacked strategic courage, and Zhao Guowei could only use them and not trust them.

No pieces──Can you play chess safely?

Huang Ye understood that it was time to recruit wise men, but he didn't want to be too ostentatious, so as not to arouse suspicion from the imperial brothers.

At this time, we can only wait for the opportunity. After all, people with insight can be met but not sought...

It's just that Huang Ye has made countless calculations, and he never expected that in the distant future, he would fall in love with that important "chess piece". The interweaving of love and imperial power, the choice between the country and the beauty, would accompany him throughout his magnificent life!
