[Langya Bang] Qi Ye Zhenzhen

When Yan Zhen was confinement, it happened to coincide with Emperor Liang's birthday in early August. She held the baby in her arms and gently comforted her to sleep. Standing beside her was Langgan dressed in black.

"The recent whereabouts of Qin Banruo are here. The people sent by Linlang are all first-class light industry masters. Not to mention Qin Banruo with low martial arts, even Xia Jiang can't detect it." Langgan paused at this point. After a pause, he glanced at Yan Zhen's face, "Lin Lang sent a letter, saying that she wants to go back to Jinling to share the master's worries."

Yan Zhen sneered: "Now Jinling City already has a suzerain of the Jiangzuo League, the richest man in the world, and the dark king of Jiangbei, what do you think?"

Langgan lowered his head and said respectfully, "It's because my subordinates didn't think well."

Yan Zhen glanced at Langgan firmly, and said lightly: "Let her come. You and your husband have been separated for half a year, and I didn't think carefully. You are Chi Yan's old man, and your wife should be introduced to Mr. Su. But Just remember, don't let anyone find out about Lin Lang's relationship with Mei Changsu and Prince Jing's residence."

"This subordinate understands, and this subordinate thanked the master."

Seeing him like this, Yan Zhen changed the subject: "I heard that Mr. Su has prepared a birthday gift for His Majesty for the prince."

"Yes, it is a sinking bow."

"Shen Gong?" Yan Zhen murmured, after thinking about it, she understood the deep meaning, "Tell him, I understand what he means. Thank you very much. By the way, it is not convenient for me to send letters this month. Last time I sent How do you like the return gift for him?"

"Mr. Su said, thank you for the great gift, master. Please rest assured, master, the Su residence will not be messed up."

"That's good." Yan Zhen nodded, waved Lang Gan to retreat, and concentrated on teasing the child in her arms.

Xiao Jingyan's eldest son was named Xiao Youxu according to the sequence of You character generation, implying the meaning of the rising sun.The young girl was named Xiao You'an, which means peace for the country and the people.

When Xiao Jingyan mentioned it to her, she still laughed that he now has the world in his heart and great ambitions, and the meaning of his name is different.Yan Zhen gave the pair of children nicknames, the son named Ah Qi, and the daughter named Ah Qi.

Congratulating Emperor Liang's birthday tonight, Yan Zhen sat behind Concubine Jing who had already been promoted. Concubine Jing was very happy to see her coming, and she was even happier to see Ajiu beside her.

After the banquet in the outer hall was over, Yan Zhen went back with Xiao Youning.

She didn't care about anything in the palace, and handed everything over to Concubine Jing of Zhiluo Palace.

The next day, it was reported that Emperor Liang had stopped for a day.

After Xiao Jingyan went to the palace to visit once, and went to pay his respects to Concubine Jing, he went back and told Yan Zhen that Concubine Yue seemed to want to return to favor.

Now that the teeth are growing day by day, sometimes I see the stars and hair on my sideburns in the mirror, and I often worry about old age, and my heart can no longer be as ruthless as it used to be.

"Although Your Majesty is angry at the prince's misbehavior, after all, he has favored the mother and son for many years, and the affection still exists." Yan Zhen hugged Xiao You'an, touched her small face, "It's not surprising that the concubine Yue is favored again. The imperial concubine and the crown prince depend on each other as lips and teeth, if you want to bring down the noble concubine Yue, you must move the crown prince first. Maybe there will be news in these two days."

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyan stared at his wife with wide eyes, "What did you do again?"

When Yan Zhen heard this, she glared at him, seeing that his posture of holding Xiao Youxu was not much better than Xiao Feiliu's posture of holding winter melon, she immediately pursed her lips to reveal two delicate dimples, she pouted: " I heard that the East Palace has recently recruited two dancers of different races, with extraordinary looks, with Xiao Jingxuan's virtue, what do you think?"

"Now is the time of filial piety!" Xiao Jingyan thought for a while, then said in disbelief.

Yan Zhen patted Xiao Youan in his arms, and took a look at him: "You don't know what kind of virtue he is. There is a knife on the head of Sezi. Xiao Jingxuan will fall on female sex sooner or later."

Xiao Jingyan gritted his teeth: "Even ordinary people don't have this kind of thing."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, and he said: "Even if the prince does this, as long as the father doesn't know about it. The father has been quite indifferent to the prince recently, and even before that, he didn't visit him often. The father may not know about it."

Yan Zhen lowered her head and smiled meaningfully: "Of course someone will lead him there."

After a few days, although his physical condition improved, Emperor Liang still didn't want to deal with political affairs. After reading a few pages of idle books, he couldn't sit still.

Gao Zhan, who won the emperor's heart, suggested: "Your Majesty, although thank you for this chrysanthemum, this golden chrysanthemum has come, do you see?"

Emperor Liang suddenly thought of Concubine Yue's mother and child being haggard yesterday, and his heart moved: "It's better to say that the golden chrysanthemum blooms in the East Palace."

He suddenly became interested, and asked Gao Zhan to arrange a car to drive, and planned to visit the prince quietly in the East Palace to show his kindness.

The emperor said he wanted to go "quietly", so of course he couldn't report in advance, so Gao Zhan only informed Meng Zhi, the commander of the imperial army, to arrange defense. The high-walled corridor between the Forbidden Garden and the East Palace came quickly and quietly to the gate of the East Palace.

The holy car came suddenly, and the people on duty in front of the East Palace panicked and knelt down on the ground.

Because Emperor Liang had already arrived, everyone was busy saluting, no one dared to get up and run inside at this moment, no one went in to report to the crown prince.

"What is the prince doing?" Emperor Liang asked casually.

A person dressed in a sixth-rank inner history uniform replied tremblingly: "Return...return, report to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness is, is...inside..."

"Nonsense! Where would he be if he wasn't inside? I asked him what he was doing inside?!"

"Re-return to Your Majesty... I don't, I don't know..."

Gao Zhan saw that his answer was really inappropriate, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, let them inform the Crown Prince to come and pick him up?"

Emperor Liang let out a "hmm".

Gao Zhan casually pointed to the internal historian who had just replied, and whispered, "Hurry up!"

Naishi kowtowed, got up and ran inside, because he was flustered, he accidentally stepped on his robe when he was going down the steps, and fell down with a bang, and he was too busy to get up and run quickly. It can be described as rolling and climbing.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance from behind, Emperor Liang couldn't help laughing, but just after he laughed twice, he suddenly became suspicious again.

He roughly recognized the internal history, and he often served the prince. Although the grade was not high, he was not a newcomer who had never seen him before.

"Call that man back!"

Gao Zhan hurriedly ordered the little eunuch to chase the inner history back, and brought him to kneel in front of Emperor Liang and waited for questioning.

"You just said...you don't know what the prince is doing inside?"

Nei Shi curled up into a ball, lying on the ground, not daring to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice, "I really don't... I don't know..."

Emperor Liang's gloomy gaze stayed on his face for a moment, and he said coldly: "Everyone kneels here for me, and they are not allowed to report or act arbitrarily.

Meng Zhi, Gao Zhan, follow me in! "

"Yes."

After bowing to accept the order, Gao Zhan felt a little uneasy.

Although he didn't know what was going on in the palace, he still felt that something was wrong, and he was afraid of causing some trouble, so he couldn't help but glanced at Meng Zhi quietly, wanting to see what he meant, but he didn't expect that there was no obvious expression on the commander's face at all. , just bowed his head and followed silently.

He also had no choice but to bend his body even lower, and followed Liangdi who was walking faster and faster.

Although the regulation of the East Palace is not as good as Tiangongcheng, it is the residence of the crown prince after all.

From the main entrance to the Changxin Hall where the Prince lives daily, there is still a long way to go.

Emperor Liang just now suspected that the prince was behaving inappropriately in his palace at the moment, and felt displeased, so he decided to go in secretly to see it with his own eyes, but he was old after all, and he was short of breath after walking for a long time.

After passing the wall of the Ming Hall, turn to the Yongfeng Pavilion, and then the Changxin Hall.

When Emperor Liang stepped onto the wooden corridor, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo music coming from inside. He was furious and quickened his pace.

Music is banned throughout the country during the national mourning period, which is a ritual system.

It's just that the three-year filial piety period is a bit longer, and later on, many people will start to quietly violate the rules. As long as they don't disclose it too much, and don't report it, the court will mostly turn a blind eye.

But after all, the status of the prince is not the same as that of ordinary people. Firstly, he is the crown prince, and secondly, he is the direct descendant of the empress dowager. Then he started to play music, which is really against etiquette.

But to say that the prince doesn’t know that playing music at this time is against etiquette is of course not, but he has always been used to enjoying himself, and he can’t stand the silence of the funeral, and he is depressed recently, and he can’t help but want to relieve his boredom. The doors and windows of the hall were quietly playing in it, and it was impossible for the assistant censor Yanguan of the East Palace to know, so his behavior was a bit reckless.

As for the sudden arrival of his father, since it had never happened before, he even thought about it and never thought about it.

Emperor Liang stood for a while in front of the closed hall door under the corridor, and when he heard the music that was deliberately lowered inside, his face was very ugly.

But at this time, he still had some reason left in his mind, knowing that if he broke in like this, he would be charged with being unfilial for performing music during the prince's funeral. Small crimes are enough to overwhelm all the prince's already weak virtues. Not only will a waste of words be in front of him, but a large number of people related to the East Palace will also be hanged.

Taking a step back, even though he no longer has any sympathy for the crown prince, Emperor Liang still wants to do this slowly, and does not want an unexpected incident to be the cause of his abolition.

Thinking of this, Emperor Liang endured the anger in his heart, and did not make a sound, turned around with a dark face, and was about to leave quietly, when a voice suddenly came from inside.

"Your Highness... Let's have another drink... Your Majesty is ill, and I won't call His Highness today, it's okay to be drunk..."

The crown prince snorted coldly after the soft flattery, "Even if the father is safe, he will not call me. Besides King Yu, who else is in the father's eyes?"

"Why do you say that, Your Highness? You are the current crown prince and the future emperor. In His Majesty's eyes, of course you should be the only one..."

"Forget it, I've seen it through a long time ago. Father is ruthless and suspicious. He always scolds me for not cultivating virtue... He doesn't even think about it. If he hadn't helped a king named Yu to stand up against me, why would I do those things? ...My virtue is not good, so my father's virtue is good?" After the prince said this, he laughed loudly, followed by the sound of swallowing wine and throwing glasses.

Emperor Liang's complexion was ashen, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.

Gao Zhan approached worriedly, reached out his hand to help him, but was pushed away violently, almost fell to the ground.

Emperor Liang didn't even look at him, rushed down the steps in a few steps, pulled out a long knife from Meng Zhi's waist, turned around and rushed back.

Gao Zhan was so frightened that his face turned pale, he took a few steps on his knees and hugged Emperor Liang's thigh, crying softly: "Think twice, Your Majesty! Think twice, Your Majesty!"

In fact, Emperor Liang was just angry, and he didn't know what he wanted to do. As soon as he rushed to the closed door of the hall with the knife, he felt at a loss again, swung his blade back and slashed hard, and cut a slash in the vermilion column in front of the door. Shen Hen, then slammed the knife on the ground, turned around and walked away in great strides.

The movement was not small, and the prince in the palace was startled. When he crawled out to look, he only saw a corner of Emperor Liang's ocher yellow robe disappearing outside the door of the outer hall. There was a buzzing sound on his head, all the bones in his body seemed to be sucked out all at once, and his whole body was limp on the ground.

A rough man like Meng Zhi, looking at the knife marks on the pillar, also felt that the prince of the Eastern Palace was not far from being abolished.
