a hundred times

The weather is getting warmer, and the imperial garden is full of spring.

Cheng Yue was alone, dressed in brocade clothes and jade crowns, and walked in with flowers and willows all the way. Not surprisingly, he saw a person standing with his hands behind his back in front of the pavilion by the pool.

It is true that he is tall and handsome, but he is as gloomy as a mountain, as if a little lonely.

"Uncle Huang." Cheng Yue called out with a smile, and when the other party turned around, he said mischievously, "Uncle Huang has worked hard for three years."

Chen Wang has always given people the impression of being unsmiling, but Cheng Yue became relaxed and gentle when he met Cheng Yue, and even showed a little smile on his face, "Yue'er has grown up."

Cheng Yue walked over and stood side by side with Chen Wang, proudly said: "That's natural, if you don't grow up in these three years, when will you grow up?"

Chen Wang carefully looked at Cheng Yue up and down, almost like a father looking at his long-lost child. After being relieved, he said: "I didn't expect that Yue'er would be sixteen in a blink of an eye. It's time to find a prince and concubine. .”

Cheng Yue glanced: "Does the emperor know something?"

"You went to Liushanzhuang to ask, do you still want to hide it from me?" Chen Wang smiled wryly, "As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you are male or female... But you still need children and things on the table."

Cheng Yue was a little surprised. He naturally knew clearly that Liushanzhuang had cooperated with Chen Wang, but after hearing what Chen Wang said, it seemed that Liushanzhuang had not truthfully reported Zhou Chuze's news?Although he was puzzled in his heart, Cheng Yue smiled and said almost coquettishly, "Uncle Huang should treat me well."

This is indeed true.

The fifth prince, Cheng Yue, is not only the emperor's favorite son, but also King Chen's favorite nephew.In terms of food and clothing, greetings and care, Cheng Yue has received much more favor than the other brothers and sisters combined. Everyone in the palace knows that only the fifth prince is the one who is put on top of the heart by the emperor and the prince .

However, this kind of favor does not involve the distribution of power. The crown prince is still the first prince, and the general is also the third highness with excellent martial arts and strategy... So even if it is jealousy, no one will do it for these things. Taking risks with grace, to touch the reverse scales of emperors and princes.

Chen Wang patted Cheng Yue's shoulder: "Let's go."

"Today is a family banquet?" Qianyue Palace has always only held family banquets, and there are only more than 20 people when it is full. His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince has a temper. I don’t want to continue to join in the fun.”

Seeing that he was awkward and angry, Wang Chen couldn't help laughing: "I'm really spoiled, how old are you, and you are still angry with your father? I asked you to copy the book a few times for the sake of Hello... Besides, didn't you just meet a good-looking man? Uncle has already agreed, so why don't you want me to pick some good-looking ones for you? "

Cheng Yue jumped: "I just ignore him!"

Chen Wang was helpless, but he was not angry at all, and he was very patient: "Listen to the emperor's words, you must go to this family banquet this time, it is just for you." Cheng Yue was stunned, and Chen Wang raised his hand suddenly, Cheng Yue understood that this meant turning away all eyes and ears, and said after a while: "I'm afraid you don't know, since you came out from Wenliu Villa, the power of Talking and Laughing Building has begun to shift."

Cheng Yue raised his eyebrows: "Oh?" In fact, he had already received the news.

Chen Wang said in a low voice: "I'm going to ask Liushanzhuang this time, have you found anything wrong?"

"The Talking and Laughing Fengsheng Building is no longer under control, is it? Sooner or later, anyway, they haven't done a good job in these years." Cheng Yue smiled, "I have neither seen Xuan He nor Xuan Qing , Of course, it’s mostly because they don’t know my details.”

On the surface, King Chen has supported His Royal Highness the third prince who is good at martial arts and strategy all these years, but it is obvious that King Chen, who has handed over the four major forces of heaven, earth, black and yellow in his hands, is really defending the fifth prince Cheng Yue.

King Chen nodded: "While asking about Liu Shanzhuang, what exactly happened?"

Cheng Yue thought of something, his sneer turned into a wry smile, and he even let out a long breath: "I don't know, that good-looking man, I don't even know who he is..." With a breath After spitting out, Cheng Yue's eyes lit up again, "But I know he must have something to do with all of this, and he will definitely come back."

Chen Wang narrowed his eyes, and pondered: "Yue'er...do you really love him?"

"True love?" Cheng Yue thought about these two words seriously, and soon laughed again, "How can there be any true love? It's just like what my uncle thought, but it's just a matter of lust. A person like me, how can I play?" What's the truth."

He has been living in calculations since he was a child, deceiving others and himself all the time.

It is true that he likes Zhou Chuze, but this kind of liking is only superficial.What's more, from the very beginning, it wasn't Zhou Chuze's appearance that attracted Cheng Yue's attention, but his behavior of making a point of admiration after entering the brothel.

Chen Wang was stunned when he heard the words, "Really?"

Cheng Yue's mother and concubine, Qianmo, was the one whom King Chen fell in love with at first sight.Cheng Yue didn't know what his uncle was thinking now, but he smiled obediently and handsomely: "Why not?"

Cheng Yue thought coldly, even though he was unbearable, he was not disgusted to such an extent, but he was interested in it, why would he even lie to himself at a time like this, and really put on the hat of a lover?Aren't you tired of pretending?

■

Although dissatisfied.

The fifth prince, Cheng Yue, still attended the family banquet in Qianyue Palace with an impatient expression, followed by the silent Ajia.

Emperor Chengqing was over fifty years old, his body was a little fat, but his face was pale and pale. It seemed that the beauties presented by the chief executive Feng Ze recently were at the time when Long En was mighty.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was sitting on the lower right side of the emperor. When he saw King Chen coming in with Cheng Yue, he quickly got up and greeted him: "Uncle, Fifth Brother, I am looking forward to you two coming."

Emperor Cheng Qing also said with a smile: "Third Brother, Yue Er, I'll just wait for you two."

Chen Wang did not forget those dispensable etiquettes, but Cheng Yue snorted coldly and sat down in the second seat on the left.The eunuch in Xuanyi, with slender eyebrows and fair face, hurriedly greeted him, let out a yo, and raised his voice, "Which one who doesn't have long eyes makes our Fifth Prince unhappy?"

Emperor Cheng Qing was very satisfied with Feng Ze's behavior, and this was obviously a question he wanted to know, but he couldn't bear to ask now.

Cheng Yue gave Feng Ze face, glared at Emperor Cheng Qing angrily, and answered the question.He was only 16 years old, and he still had a youthful and stubborn appearance, coupled with his handsome face, such a glare did not make Emperor Cheng Qing angry, but his heart softened all of a sudden.

"Yue'er, it seems that the father is wrong, how old is he, and he is still angry with the father." He said, looking at Chen Wang, "The third younger brother is also spoiled by Yueer."

The prince is smiling on one side of his face, but he is gnashing his teeth in his heart, taking every bite, isn't it all your pets?

Chen Wangdao: "It is true that Yue'er has been spoiled. I am thinking, should I let Yue'er also have a good experience?"

The family dinner does not talk about state affairs, the rules set by the ancestors have been almost forgotten by Emperor Cheng Qing, he pondered: "It's time, so as not to let him run outside the palace all day long, does the third brother already have an idea?"

Chen Wang smiled, and even glanced at the prince, "The reason why I came back this time is because my body is not as good as before... It should be done by another person to guard the frontier."

As soon as these words came out, all the people present except Cheng Qingdi and Cheng Yue changed their expressions drastically.

Guarding the border defense is a major military and political matter related to the country's fundamentals!Although the Dacheng Dynasty and the foreign race are now bounded by the Tianzhu Luoxie Mountains, it does not mean that the foreign race has no way to take the Dacheng Dynasty, nor does it mean that this half of the country is already sitting securely!

The prince's face was ugly, and he said: "It's probably too embarrassing for the fifth younger brother to guard the frontier."

Chen Wang didn't take it seriously: "Isn't the third prince also here?"

Emperor Cheng Qing must have heard King Chen talk about his plan early in the morning, but now seeing Cheng Yue's indifferent expression, he said softly, "What does Yue Er think?"

Cheng Yue coughed, turned his eyes around, put on a serious look, and said: "Uh, it's good to go and have a look, when I was fighting with those barbarians before, Erchen was too young, so I don't know what to do now." It is a pity that I can share the worries of the country like my brothers."

Chen Wangdao: "If the emperor is not at ease, he can send Hei Xiaoqi to follow Yue'er. It is not necessary to lead the army like the third prince. It is also good to be a supervisor."

The prince still objected: "If you want to practice, there are so many positions in the court and so many places in the world, where can you not practice? Why put the fifth brother in danger?"

King Chen sneered and said, "Does the prince think that this king will let the fifth prince put himself in danger?"

Everyone knows, no!

But even Feng Ze, who has always been quick-witted, can no longer understand what King Chen is doing... what's more, the emperor even supports it?This fifth prince, who was raised in the palm of his hand, is actually willing to let him go to the frontier to suffer?

Is there something strange about it?

But the prince gritted his teeth and was speechless. After thinking about it, even if Cheng Yue went to the border defense, what's the point?What great things can this fifth brother, who was pampered by his father since childhood, do?What's more, the border is indeed dangerous. If Cheng Yue accidentally confessed his life there, wouldn't it be a good thing for his prince?Even if it is [-] steps back, if Cheng Yue really did something big on the border, the third prince should be the first one to worry about, not him.

After thinking about this, the prince naturally stopped insisting, and forced a smile to the emperor, "My son is just worried about my fifth brother."

Emperor Cheng Qing nodded and looked at Cheng Yue with a loving father: "Then go, this palace is too small for Yue to play."

Cheng Yue's brows brightened all of a sudden, he chuckled, and stopped fighting with the emperor. He looked like a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers: "I will definitely live up to my father's expectations."

So far, the family banquet has begun happily after it is set to announce that His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince of the Chaotang will be appointed as the border guard in the early morning.

Ah Jia has been standing behind Cheng Yue, like a tall shadow, after nearly two hours of family dinner, she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end.

After the banquet was over and they returned to Chengxin Hall, Cheng Yue arrived behind his bedroom, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

In the silence, Ah Jia said: "This subordinate does not understand what the emperor and prince mean."

With a blank expression on his face, Cheng Yue opened the secret room of the bedroom, and inside lay a sword wrapped in black cloth.He slowly raised his hand, getting closer and closer to the sword, and gradually felt the sword shaking uncomfortably inside.

He withdrew his hand.

"They want me to have my own soldiers." He still smelled of alcohol, but Cheng Yue was very calm, almost as if he was a different person. How can Xiaoqi and Sibu be able to secure a stable position in this country?"

The betrayal of Tanxiaofengshenglou is a signal, telling the royal family that what they have in their hands is gradually not enough to control this country.It was even more so for Cheng Yue, because he didn't have enough power, so he had to go.Only by going to the border defense can we have enough opportunities and space to have an army of our own.

Ah Jia understands.

Cheng Yue said slowly, "It's time to do it."

A Jia asked: "He said he would come back and take the sword away, what does the master mean?"

"I'll take the sword away, you stay here and wait for him." Cheng Yue didn't give A Jia any chance to object, he was a superior from the bottom of his heart, "I want this sword, and I want that person too."

He is determined to win, and has been dormant for 16 years. It's time to try his Cheng family.
