His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

From spring to autumn, the years of youth always flowed very quickly, as if the little prince's happy escape after the cold food festival had just ended, and an autumn wind chased the tail of the heat and dyed Miyagi red.

After one summer, Qi Changfeng has grown taller again. The same soil and water in the capital city seem to support people especially in him.He now has the appearance of an adult man, his stature has long surpassed that of the second prince, and his face has become more and more handsome and handsome, which is different from that of the people in the Central Plains. Years of martial arts training have trained his smooth and tall figure, which makes him Every move carried a certain sense of steady strength.At the same time, his voice also began to change, which made him speak much more concisely now.

If he could still be vaguely regarded as a child before, since the palace servants often helped him change and wash the mattress in the early summer, this boy can no longer live in the West Sixth Palace, which is not too far away from the palaces of the concubines. up.

In May, the emperor ordered him to move him outside the Taihe Gate, east of the Longzong Hall, to the Chengdun Palace, which was already closer to the northern palace wall.Before moving to the palace, maybe it was for celebration, or maybe it was because he thought that the child was already half an adult in a certain sense-Emperor Hui also said that he would reward Qi Changfeng with two beautiful maids and concubines.

Qi Changfeng said at this time that he was enlightened, but in fact he has not fully understood this way.He is well aware of these things, and knows what the emperor bestowed the two beautiful court ladies for, but he has never liked the place where he lives to have too many outsiders, and he doesn't want to have two more strange girls out of thin air. Meet him frankly and live together from day to night.

What's more, his view of love is fundamentally different from that of Emperor Hui.Qi Changfeng has been fascinated by his father and mother getting along like loving mandarin ducks since he was a child. A couple will join hands for a lifetime. That is the creed that he has not considered carefully but subconsciously upholds.He thought that if he had skin-to-skin contact with a certain woman one day, he would cherish and protect her forever in his life, and there should be no one else between the two of them.

And the emperor could meet a love in his life every few years-Emperor Hui did not prohibit speech, and his romantic history has always been the most talked about story in the world.Just a dozen years ago, the world was arguing endlessly over whether the emperor's confidant and lover was the poet Yan Lai or the famous prostitute Tayue—so in the eyes of this majesty, his beloved young man added two gentle and gentle lovers when he was young and ignorant. The handsome beauties are by your side, understanding and understanding, like flowers explaining words, once the relationship is over, each of them has a romantic relationship when they were young, isn't it a beautiful thing?

The emperor himself never regarded women's fame as a big deal, and raised his daughters only to teach them to be upright and moral, and to be a gentleman, not demure, chaste, virtuous and virtuous.

However, Qi Changfeng rejected the matter, and he wasn't bothered. He even joked with Concubine Yang who was choosing a concubine for the eldest prince, saying that my Qi Xiaolang has opened up his body, but his brain has not yet opened up, and he is still only good at wielding a knife and stick The stupid boy.These two best court ladies were specially selected by me, and he didn't know how to cherish them, so he gave them to our Yu'er along with the one you chose.

Concubine Yang's appearance is not top-notch, what is rare is that she has a gentle temperament like water, with charming eyebrows and eyes, and there is a sense of erratic beauty shrouded in smoke when she moves, sits and sleeps.She also lived on the cusp of Emperor Hui's heart in the early years, and she also gave birth to the eldest prince, the child who was once the most favored by the emperor and the empress dowager.At that time, he was in the limelight, and there was no other in the harem.

But so many years have passed, first the second princess, who loved to dance knives and wield sticks since she was a child, won the favor of Emperor Hui, and then the sickly little Highness born to Concubine Zhao became the lifeblood held in the palm of the emperor. .Now even the frontier kid who was close to His Royal Highness has become "My Qi Xiaolang", and the emperor has been thinking about finding a court lady for him who is just for enlightenment. With an attitude that seemed to be Yu'er's pick-up, he sent the two unwanted concubines to his son.

No matter how clear Concubine Yang is about Emperor Hui's virtue, no matter how docile her disposition is, a mother's competitive heart will be extremely uncomfortable at the moment.What's more, the emperor's great favor in those years, and the empress dowager's only respect and love for her eldest grandson made her feel that she was no longer the concubine of a family who was born in a small prefecture and could not be taken seriously.she is--

She gave birth to the next emperor of the Liang dynasty.

Although His Majesty has never revealed this meaning anywhere, she has always believed in this.She knew that the voice of asking the eldest son of the emperor to be appointed as the crown prince came every now and then in the middle of the court, she knew what it meant for the empress dowager to hold her majesty with one hand and Yu'er with the other before she died, and she knew that she had lived up to the great favor of the past, and the internal affairs and internal construction of the second mansion were still very important. What is the reason for the year-round flattery?

For this reason, she has always maintained her original gentle and kind temperament in front of His Majesty, and never dared to compete with the emperor like Concubine Zhao.She has always told the emperor that everything must be done to the best, to satisfy your father, to be friendly to brothers and sisters—especially to care for the weak and sick younger brother, and to protect him from the heart.To make friends with Qi Xiaolang, Zhao Yunxia and Li Wenlun who are valued by the emperor, don't fight with these people.You should respect the other concubines in this palace, and treat them as considerate and filial as your own mothers.

Only God knows, when she watched the emperor put everything down again and again, just to be by his little son's side; The emperor joined hands with Concubine Zhao, and walked up to Ci'an Temple in person like an ordinary couple to pray for the safety of the youngest son—what was she thinking at that time.

In some unknown and deep nights, she even thought happily: the supreme favor of the emperor and the precarious life, drinking and pecking, this may not be retribution.

But under the sun, these shady thoughts never bubbled a single bubble in front of her man and child.She must always be a kind woman, a gentle mother who understands the general situation——

"Although Qi Xiaolang has grown up, he doesn't have an old lady who takes good care of him around him, let alone his biological parents to teach him. His Majesty hastily sent two court ladies there, so how could he be so embarrassed?" Concubine Yang personally Serving tea to the emperor, he glanced at the man with tenderness in his words: "Jingyu has always been the best at playing with Qi Xiaolang. In my opinion, it's better to let these young people go out of the palace to hang out and play together, Youyuer With such a safe elder brother leading him, not only will the child not be blinded by greed, go astray, and change his temperament, but also let him understand the benefits of it."

The emperor wanted to laugh when he heard it——Qi Changfeng was taken away by Zhao Yunxia for almost a year before he came back, what else would this child have never seen before?Besides, Qi Changfeng's temperament is by no means a shy and ignorant type.What's more, all the young people in the world, when they reach the age of teens to know personnel affairs, have already understood everything they should know and what they shouldn't know behind the back of their elders, so why do they need someone else to guide them?

Concubine Ai is still too naive, I'm afraid she was deceived by that boy Jingyu's listless appearance, she thought that there are a group of obedient babies in the palace, and she can only do things when she has to compare every inch and inch.

It's just that Emperor Hui thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth.He thinks that he is the most gentle and considerate man in the world, so he is not willing to ignore his concubine's kindness:

"I said a long time ago that Ah Han is really the most caring and understanding woman I have ever seen in my life," the emperor held on to the hands that had seen the years, his eyes were full of autumn water, and his eyes were full of affection. When the two looked at each other, they seemed to be the most loving in the world A couple: "It couldn't be better to be so thoughtful!"

The tone was fixed, so Concubine Yang explained to her son in this way, but the eldest prince who came to pay his respects to concubine mother was also confused. He was quite confused for a while, and raised the same question as his father :

"Qi Changfeng is not a fool. He often runs outside the palace on weekdays. He already understood what he should have understood. Why do I need to take him to enlighten him?" The eldest prince had already seen the four standing beside his mother. This pretty court lady couldn't help but stare at them all the time, and she was a little absent-minded when she answered.

What Concubine Yang dislikes most about her son being like his father is that the Eldest Prince has perfectly inherited his father's passion and often loves to show tenderness to the beauties around him.If it hadn't been for the mother to report, the son might be a little ambiguous with a little eunuch serving ink in the study, and Concubine Yang would not be so eager to choose a concubine for her son-now it seems that the son is in the middle of men and women. There is no special taboo, even this is exactly the same as his father!

Concubine Yang felt unhappy when she thought of this, so she could only try her best to maintain a calm tone, pointing to her son: "Your father thinks so much about Qi Xiaolang, you really want to take him as your son, and even think about these things for him. Now Qi Xiaolang doesn't know Why did you refuse your father's gift, and you, as your father's eldest son, should be like Qi Xiaolang's half-eldest brother, caring about his affairs. The emperor has said it, and Yu'er will do her concubine a small favor."

His mother had already mentioned this matter, and it was not a big deal, so the eldest prince naturally readily agreed.Besides, because of Qi Changfeng's refusal, there are two more pleasing maids in his own palace, and he should play host to Qi Changfeng for a reason - the location is directly set at Yichun Tower, two pieces Wouldn't it be cheap if things could be done in one meal?

As soon as the First Prince said this to Qi Changfeng, Qi Changfeng immediately understood what he meant.He didn't show any resistance.

Yichunlou is the most famous flower house in Beijing nowadays. Its self-brewed Yichun wine is as famous as the beautiful girls in the building, and it is better than countless large and small wineries in the capital. Immortal wine means that the wine is so mellow that even immortals would willingly keep it after drinking it.

Eating the banquet hosted by the eldest prince in Yichun Building, listening to Le Ji's performance, paired with two cups of Liuxian wine, is also a good pastime.It's not that the eldest prince will force him to lie on the couch at that time, and he won't give up until he sees him and a certain girl from Yichun Building act on the spot.

"Then it's settled." The two hit it off immediately, and quickly negotiated the agreed schedule, "When the martial arts class is over, I'll wait for you at the Supreme Harmony Gate and go there with you."

Kang Ning ran in from outside the hall at this time, and caught the second half of his elder brother's sentence with his ears pricked up, so he rushed over excitedly and asked, "Where are you going, elder brother and Changfeng?" Me! I will go with you too!"

Who would have thought that his elder brother and good friend would turn their heads when they heard his words, and rejected him in unison without any hesitation: "No! You are not allowed to go!"
