The Road of the Queen

"Yin Liulang." Someone pushed open the door of Xiyuan's study, and it was King Cheng Li Chunqiu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

"My lord is auspicious." Yin Yuting quickly stood up and saluted.

Li Chunqiu stretched out his hand to support Yin Yuting, said with a smile: "You have worked hard these few days, reading the memorials must be annoying."

Seeing this man walking towards him in his eyes, Yin Yuting lost his mind for a moment.If he hadn't known it a long time ago, how could such a handsome man be compared with a general who fought in the battlefield? !Cheng Wang smiled like a spring breeze, and even Yin Yuting's eyes were slightly tinged with spring.With a slight smile on his lips, he said respectfully: "Working for the prince is hard work."

Li Chunqiu pulled Yin Yuting into the Nuan Pavilion to sit down, and asked with concern: "I saw you sigh just now, are you tired?"

Yin Yuting said: "It's not that I'm tired, my lord..."

"what happened?"

Yin Yuting paused for a moment, then smiled easily: "Yu Ting wants to have a casual chat with the lord, but what does the lord think?"

Li Chunqiu was very interested: "Okay, okay."

Yin Yuting looked out the window, "The weather is so nice, I really want to sit on a boat and enjoy the lake breeze, it must be very pleasant."

Li Chunqiu smiled lightly and stretched out his arms to wrap around Yin Yuting's waist: "Yin Liulang will enjoy it, how can I not accompany you to the end."

After talking, the two came to the artificial lake and ordered Ding, an old man at the pier, to row a wooden boat.Li Chunqiu stepped up first, then naturally took Yin Yuting's hand and brought him over.

The surface of the lake is sparkling like gold, and the light boats drift freely with the water.The lake wind messed up Yin Yuting's long black hair, a long white hand stretched out and pinned the flying black strands behind his ears, and when he left, he gently brushed his cheeks intentionally or unintentionally.

Yin Yuting's face seemed to be shaded by the sun, and he turned slightly red, "I haven't seen you for a long time, what is he busy with?"

Li Chunqiu narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly held Yin Yuting's hand, and said softly: "I always feel that Yin Liulang is too respectful to me, can you be kinder to me in the future?"

Yin Yuting shook his head again and again: "My lord, how can this be done."

Li Chunqiu smiled and asked back: "Why not?"

Yin Yuting lowered his brows slightly, and said with a wry smile: "Since that's the case, how about calling me a slave in the future?"

"A slave?"

"Jinu is my word."

Li Chunqiu laughed and took him into his arms: "It's not good to be a slave, it's better to be a slave."

Yin Yuting only felt that this name was really ambiguous, so he didn't say anything for a while.Seeing Li Chunqiu staring at him by mistake, his heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm: "Since the prince likes it, then let's call it that." He added: "The prince has not told me what he is doing in the residence for so long."

Li Chunqiu: "Father's concubine gave birth to a prince again. These few days I am busy choosing gifts for the full moon banquet for my thirteenth brother."

"Thirteenth brother?" Yin Yuting frowned, and the cinnabar between his brows also flickered dimly.He was shocked in his heart: Taoist Yinchen calculated it, it really is true!

"That's right, the father is always a son, and he loves the thirteenth brother very much, so of course we brothers can't spoil the father's interest. But I have been choosing and choosing, but I can't choose an ingenious gift."

Yin Yuting looked at the emerald green lake water and remained silent for a long time.

Li Chunqiu pushed him, "Slave, why don't you talk."

Only then did Yin Yuting calmly say: "At the Thirteenth Prince's full moon banquet, not only does the prince not need to give gifts, it's better not to even go."

Li Chunqiu was very puzzled, "Not going? Why?"

Yin Yuting raised his eyes, his long eyelashes were like feathers, and his bright pupils reflected the water: "In today's court, the eldest prince is in full swing, and the four princes are evenly matched. If the prince wants to use the full moon banquet of the thirteen princes to please His Majesty That can only become a thorn in their side."

Li Chunqiu asked back: "But if you don't go, how will father explain?"

Yin Yuting: "When the prince plays chess, has he ever used the trick of abandoning his son?"

Li Chunqiu: "Abandoned son?"

Yin Yuting: "That's right, abandoning one son will win the whole situation. The crown prince, the prince should regard it as an abandoned son." When he said this, there was a dark light flickering in his eyes.

"Slave." Li Chunqiu sighed: "The first suggestion you gave me was to let me give up fighting for the crown prince?"

Yin Yuting stood up and walked to the bow, his slender figure was immersed in the halo of summer, making the people sitting on the boat dizzy.

There was a melodious sound of the piano in the distance, and it was Gongshangjiao Zhengyu played by the man again. Accompanied by the sound of the lake beating the light boat, the ensemble formed a beautiful string song.

"What do you think of playing the piano?" Yin Yuting asked with a half-smile, without answering.

Li Chunqiu quietly looked at the lake, his face darkened: "Very good."

"What do you think of the pianist?"

"Also very good."

"That's it... I heard that Shen Bingjun is the most beloved person in the small harem." Yin Yuting looked back at Li Chunqiu: "May I ask why?"

Li Chunqiu glanced back at him coldly: "Why does my slave want to know this?"

At this time, the sky changed suddenly, dark clouds piled up, a white light suddenly split from the corner of the sky in the distance, and thunder rolled.

"It's going to rain, let's go back."

………………

Not long after the boat trip that day, King Cheng Li Chunqiu attended the full moon banquet held by the thirteen princes with great gifts.When Yin Yuting heard the news, the red mole on the center of his eyebrows flickered, but he was not moved at all.

At the banquet, the old emperor announced that he would stop court for three days to celebrate with the people, and then took the empress and concubines to the summer palace in Luoyang, the eastern capital, to escape the summer heat, and handed over the full power of the court to the eldest prince Li Changping.

This move will undoubtedly add fire to the eldest prince's party, and it is almost certain that the old emperor will pass on the throne to Li Changping.

Cheng Wang Li Chunqiu was unhappy after returning from the banquet.In order to relieve King Cheng's depression, housekeeper Liu Zihuan deliberately found a mountain villa with running water in the suburbs of Beijing, and arranged a two-day outing for King Cheng.Early the next morning, Li Chunqiu took his little harem on the way to Qingquan Villa.Liu Zihuan did not go with him because he stayed at the palace.

It was the first time Yin Yuting saw the four concubines living in the Ziwei Garden, and he only glanced at them from a distance when getting into the carriage.These four girls are all beauties, they probably haven't seen King Cheng for a long time, and they were very excited when they saw King Cheng, but Li Chunqiu only said a few words to the elder among them, then got on his horse and walked away first. and go.You need to know the end, and I will break it down next time.
