A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City

Yun Duqing felt that he had always been a kind and empathetic prince. He was afraid that the fourth brother would be alone in the Zongrenfu Heavenly Prison, so his own brother was also sent in, and he thoughtfully arranged his cell next to the fourth brother. .

However, Yun Yanze, who already knew the truth, did not welcome this new neighbor.

The two brothers, who were not in sight, sat next to each other and looked at each other with nothing but hatred.

"Back then, you deliberately copied Ming Jiuzhu's painting for me to see, for my benefit?"

"Who made you stupid, it's so easy to be fooled." King Jing mocked him: "I originally wanted to use more means to make you hooked. ."

"Brother doesn't laugh at me, I've had a good time, how about you?" Even if he was down, Yun Yanze still maintained the elegance in his bones: "From childhood to adulthood, your talent is not as good as mine, your martial arts skills are not as good as the boss's, and your appearance is not as good as Yundu's. Qing, even the likable personality is not as good as the second child. Even if you win or lose, no one will look at you even if you lose."

"Shut up!" King Jing's facial features were twisted, like a monster crawling out of hell: "You look like Pan An, and Sun Caiyao didn't encourage the Sun family for you to achieve your lofty ambitions. Instead, you look down on Yundu. Qing, after marrying Ming Jiuzhu who is in his heart, even the Ming family became his help."

In the past, he always thought that the Ming family was not satisfied with this royal marriage, so he was always critical of Yun Duqing's son-in-law, and his attitude was so bad that even the officials of the Ministry of Rites could not stand it.

It wasn't until Yun Duqing and Ming Jiuzhu got married that Yun Duqing often accompanied Ming Jiuzhu back to Ming's house. Only then did he realize that why the Ming family would abandon their daughter for the sake of the family's name, and why the Ming family disliked Yun Duqing indifferently. Home made for outsiders to see.

He should have thought of it a long time ago, with the emperor's view of Yun Duqing, if the Ming family embarrassed him everywhere, how could they have promoted Ming Jingzhou as an earl before the two were married.

"But you are a person with no luck. If Sun Caiyao was married to Yun Duqing, you would be the one who took Ming Jiuzhu, and the Ming family would support you. Maybe the one who became the prince would be you." Jing. Wang Yunyanze's expression changed suddenly, he knew that he cared about this matter, and his heart was even more happy: "Even God is unwilling to help you, this is your life!"

The conversation between the two brothers ended in hatred between them.

Yun Yanze ignored King Jing, he lay down on the hard brick bed and fell asleep with unwillingness and resentment.

"Fourth Highness, your wedding dress is ready, do you want to try it?"

Yun Yanze opened his eyes and saw that he was sitting in Prince Qi's mansion, with the maid and eunuch standing beside him with his head bowed, he was respectful and careful.

He wanted to speak, but found that his body had started to speak out of his own control.

"Try it." King Qi looked out the window: "Is your father's body better?"

The eunuch shook his head: "The imperial doctor said that when the fifth prince went down, His Majesty vomited blood and fainted. I'm afraid... it won't get better."

"The elder brother murdered the fifth younger brother, and he was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned in the ancestral mansion. I really can't worry about my father's health." King Qi raised his head and the man in the clothing department came in with a red and beautiful wedding dress, his face full of melancholy: "Forget it, the father is not in good health. As a prince, I don't have any thought to try and accept it. Let's take it."

"Yes."

Yun Yanze saw the hypocritical sadness and filial piety on this familiar and unfamiliar face.

Yun Duqing died, and Yun Liu'an was demoted to a commoner?

Turns out he was dreaming.

Only in a dream, will he have everything he wants to have.

The dream continues.

King Qi entered the palace to visit the emperor. The emperor who used to be benevolent, virtuous and clear-minded was lying on the dragon bed in a daze, his eye sockets sunken like an oil lamp that was about to burn out.

His mouth opened and closed, as if he was muttering something.

King Qi looked at Liu Zhongbao, who was waiting beside him: "Liu, what is the royal father talking about?"

He approached the dragon bed and finally knew what he was talking about.

"My son."

He stood up straight, left a few words of concern, turned and walked out of the empty Taiyang Palace.

On the way, Concubine Su accidentally faced him, and Concubine Su's sharp voice made him kneel on the bluestone road.

This woman has been crazy since the day she lost her child.

King Qi was not afraid of punishment. In fact, the crazier he was, the better it would be for him.

I don't know how long he knelt on the ground, until Su Guifei left, he slowly got up from the ground.

"The noble concubine is too much. Your Highness, you are going to get married in the future, and you are making things so difficult for you!"

"Mother Su is sad to lose her child. As a junior, I should be considerate." King Qi smiled tolerantly: "Go, go back."

When passing by the jewelry shop in the carriage, he showed a gentle smile on his face: "This king's shop has new jewelry, and I will send someone to deliver it to the girl."

Yun Yanze looked at his face with a somewhat sincere smile, and felt extremely strange in his heart. He didn't have much affection for Sun Caiyao, so how could he "show" such a smile?

In the midst of surprise, the world suddenly changed color, and he was already standing in the wedding room where the red candles were shining. Under the candlelight, the double happiness character is extraordinarily gorgeous.

"Your Highness, the auspicious time is almost here."

King Qi walked to the gate of King Qi's mansion and saw the sedan chair slowly approaching in the distance, he couldn't help but took a few steps forward.

"His Royal Highness, you are the honorable blood of the royal family. You are not allowed to go down the steps when welcoming your relatives. This is against the rules."

His feet stopped on the back steps.

The sedan chair landed, and Mrs. Welcoming opened the sedan curtain, wearing a wedding robe and a phoenix crown, and holding a dough-covering fan.

The bride came out.

"Ming Jiuzhu?" Yun Yanze looked at the girl holding the dragon and the phoenix and murmured to himself, "How could it be?"

Suddenly, the girl holding the fan turned her head and stood looking at him. Those were emotionless, even cold eyes.

No, Ming Jiuzhu is not like that.

In his memory, Ming Jiuzhu was born with a smile in her eyes, and her eyes were sparkling, not like this... indifferent.

"His Royal Highness, Miss Ming, is overjoyed."

He followed involuntarily and came to the wedding room. Seeing Ziguzi tore off the phoenix crown and a few strands of hair on the fringe of the hairpin, he didn't seem to feel any pain.

The round fan embroidered with dragon and phoenix patterns was thrown on the ground and stepped on it with a stern face.

The incense he liked was burning in the house. He walked to the incense burner and watched it for a long time. He picked up the teapot on the table and extinguished the incense. , also do not shine eyes.

The face that looks like Ming Jiuzhu is so different.

In the wedding hall, King Qi received the guests gracefully, and it seemed that everyone was praising him as a virtuous king.

The excitement continued until dawn, and the high-spirited King Qi returned to the house and brought the princess who was alone in the vacant room into the palace to greet him.

"There is the Mingyue Palace, you shouldn't go."

"The imperial concubine is in charge of the harem. She is an honorable woman in the palace. If I don't go to worship, I'm afraid it will be inappropriate."

Ming Jiuzhu's palace costumes are complicated, but perhaps in order to please King Qi, she specially chose very light clothes today.

The broad sleeves slid across the air, and Ming Jiuzhu supported the palace maid's hand and walked to the Mingyue Palace without hesitation, as if she didn't care whether King Qi would agree to the decision.

Yun Yanze saw that he was smiling, smiling gently. But he knew that he was in a rage at the moment.

But for the Ming family's status in the court, he would endure.

He wanted to follow Ming Jiuzhu to Mingyue Palace to see, but the picture changed again.

The second prince was mediocre and could not coordinate the affairs of the state. Countless courtiers elected King Qi to temporarily handle the affairs of the imperial father.

King Qi repeatedly refused, saying that he was not talented enough.

Yun Yanze stood beside the dragon seat, carefully "touched" the dragon head above, and sat on it.

The moment he sat down, he only felt the coolness and hardness, and when he looked around, he could see everyone's expressions.

Those who are flattering, pleasing, and... those who restrain their emotions, those who cannot see their thoughts.

Yun Yanzefa, the two brothers from the Sun family, the Chen family, and the Ming family, as well as the six ministers, all had smiles on their faces, but the smiles did not reach their eyes.

However, King Qi of the spring breeze did not see through this.

He said that his talents were mediocre, but he couldn't hide the vigorous ambition in his eyes.

Yun Yanze finally understood that perhaps his disguise in the eyes of outsiders was not as perfect as he imagined.

Even the dragon chair under him is no different from sitting on other chairs, and it is even a bit spacious and empty.

Sitting on it, he even had the energy to think, what is Ming Jiuzhu doing at the moment?

The indifferent Ming Jiuzhu, the innocent girl standing beside Yun Duqing, holding her head and frowning, seemed to have only a skin.

In the jewelry shop that day, he watched Yun Duqing play and was amused.

But he didn't like the shining eyes, just pretending to be Yun Duqing.

But that is the fifth brother's daughter-in-law, what does he have to do with him?

He raised his head again, wanting to see the expressions of the courtiers again, but only saw the crescent moon in the night sky.

"May Qing Tianzun bless His Royal Highness King Chen in the next life smoothly and safely, with boundless blessings and longevity. The believer is willing to spend the rest of her life in exchange for the peace of His Royal Highness King Chen."

Under the moonlight, Ming Jiuzhu twisted the incense in her hands, bowed to the long moon, and then "inserted" the incense in the flowering mint bushes, her eyes filled with murderous aura.

Yun Yanze suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

At this moment, he turned his head and looked over, and his dark pupils were stained with a little moonlight.

The eyes he was looking at even had an illusion that they saw him.

"Miss, this is the mint candy sent by Shang Shi Bureau."

He took a capsule and put it in his mouth, frowning slightly: "Sister Spring Equinox, the sugar doesn't taste right."

"What flavor do you want to eat, Miss, I'll let the kitchenette make it for you."

"No." Shaking his head, he looked up at the dark night sky: "No more."

"Sister." Looking at the woman standing at the table: "King Qi's wolf ambition, you go and remind your father to be more careful with him. I have a letter here. You are tired and go to the palace. Send it to your father."

"Okay." The woman took the letter and looked at it hesitantly: "Miss, you are so indifferent to King Qi, and the servant is worried that King Qi will be rough with you."

"Roughness?" sneered: "Don't worry, he will never have a chance to attack me."

The woman took the letter and left, went back to the room, and walked towards the incense burner.

Yun Yanze saw that he took out a box of spices from his sleeve.

Yun Yanze knew this kind of incense, and it was the kind of incense that Wei Shi, Queen Jing's mother-in-law liked.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, lighting incense.

King Qi pushed open the door, and he angrily accused, indifferent to King Qi's anger, as if everything had nothing to do with it.

Until he asked King Qi who killed King Chen.

King Qi watched in astonishment.

"You said, if you and I were poisoned in this room at the same time, which prince would the emperor suspect?"

The incense is poisonous.

Yun Yanze understood, he saw that he turned around and was about to escape, but Ming Jiuzhu blocked it.

road.

King Qi leaned back on the chair weakly, and the footsteps of guards and patrols came from outside the door. Although he opened his mouth wide, he couldn't make a sound. He could only walk away with the footsteps in despair.

"You must be thinking, why would I do this."

"His Royal Highness has a high status. Naturally, I don't remember the child that your grandfather's family drowned in the river ten years ago." He walked to the chair and sat down, as if he and King Qi were ordinary husband and wife, sitting and chatting: " I was that kid back then, and to your disappointment, I was rescued."

"It was His Royal Highness King Chen who saved me."

He laughed: "I have recited the prayer scriptures for His Highness in front of the Qing Tianzun for ten years. I just hope that his life will be smooth and safe, but you have ruined it all."

King Qi's pupils trembled.

Do you know that it was Yun Duqing who was killed by his mother-in-law?

"You all want to kill him." He took out a peace talisman from his sleeve, and put it in his heart: "Masters said, I have no luck in my practice. The grace of saving my life cannot be repaid, so let's do it."

King Qi's sanity was slowly dissipating.

"Forgot to tell you, my master has started to treat the emperor, maybe he will get better."

"Even if you die, what you have done will still be revealed to the world."

Yun Yanze stared at himself in his dream, dying in the incense lit by the woman's own hands.

He remembered that he had also planned to let Yun Duqing die from the poison of incense.

The self in the dream died, and Ming Jiuzhu also died, but he still couldn't wake up from the dream.

He saw that his father was getting better, and that Ming Jingzhou had found out everything he had done before, and then he begged his father to issue a decree to allow Qi Wang Mingjiu Zhu to leave.

In order to repay the grace of saving her life, the daughter of the Ming family thoroughly investigated the truth of the murder of King Chen.

Therefore, when the truth about the murder of King Chen, after he was related to King Jing, everyone felt sympathy and pity, and even sentimental scholars wrote poems and praised them for their misfortune.

How absurd it is to let the dead couple leave, but no one has explained that Jingzhou's actions are excessive.

Later, Concubine Su made the decision and did not let Ming Jiuzhu Qi Wang be buried together, but instead was buried in a place not far from the tomb of Chen Wang.

The servant girl who served said that she liked mints, so a lot of mints were planted next to the mausoleum.

The mint grows more and more, and it grows to the side of King Chen's tomb, full of vitality and emerald green.

Yun Yanze didn't know how long he had spent in the dream, as if it had been a long time, as if it was just a moment.

When he opened his eyes and saw the prison door, he thought in a trance that he was still in a dream.

There was the voice of the jailer talking outside the cell door, and a few people who had just been locked in, wailing and begging for mercy.

"Sinner Yanze, today is His Majesty's longevity. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind, and allows you to put on a shawl and kowtow to His Majesty outside Taiyang Palace after dark."

After being closed in the Zongren Mansion for more than half a year, he watched the prison door suddenly open, and was stunned and did not respond.

Fearing that he would "suicide", the jailer not only put on his shackles, but also put on a muzzle for him.

Wearing clean new clothes, he stood at the door of the Zongren Mansion, and he began to fear the sunlight outside.

He was escorted into a blue cloth carriage, his bound hands lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked at Che greedily outside.

The carriage stopped suddenly, and the voice of the jailer who was driving the carriage came into the carriage.

"It used to be Sun Xiangjun's carriage, so let's avoid it for now."

"Miss." The maid lifted the curtain and glanced at it: "The carriage parked next to it seems to have the badge of the Zongren Mansion."

"Don't worry about it." Sun Caiyao didn't even look at it: "Today is His Majesty's longevity. Although it is not appropriate for me to enter the palace, I should go to the Taoist Temple to pray for His Majesty's incense, and do not delay on the road."

"Yes."

The carriage passed by, and the people sitting in the carriage did not lift the curtains to look at each other.

They had no luck in the first place, and even if they were forced, they would only be empty in the end.

At the longevity banquet, Yun Duqing finished talking to his two brothers, and when he looked back, he saw Ming Xiaozhu drinking sweet wine happily.

"How many cups have you had?" His cheeks were a little red, he grabbed the cup in his hand, and fed it to his mouth with chopsticks.

"I only had a cup." Jiuzhu stretched out her palm and made a comparison: "Your Highness, this sweet and savory drink is delicious, you can also taste it."

"You speak, but your hands are more than five..." Yun Duqing sighed, holding the hand that wanted to get the wine glass: "You are drunk."

"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu looked at him eagerly: "I still want to drink."

"No, you don't want to." He ruthlessly refused, and as soon as he finished speaking, Jiuzhu snorted and kissed his face: "Give me a cup."

An Wang and his wife who were sitting next to this scene laughed softly, Yun Duqing looked over, and the husband and wife quickly lowered their heads and pretended not to see anything.

"You actually sold your beauty for a glass of sweet wine, Ming Xiaozhu, you are capable." After saying this, he felt his face hold, and he kissed the other side.

"His Royal Highness." Jiuzhu looked at him with her big moist eyes, her pitiful appearance softened her heart.

"Only half a cup." Yun Duqing sighed and poured a half cup of sweet wine for Jiuzhu himself: "After drinking this half cup, you can't drink any more."

"Your Highness is ready." Jiuzhu reached out and hugged him, holding the wine glass and drinking happily.

Hou Jiuzhu drank a few "half cups", and then "Mi" and "Mi" leaned on his shoulders, and it was considered to be calm.

Prince Huai's husband and wife, and Wang's husband, who were sitting next to them, were already laughing secretly. Yun Duqing ignored them, sighing and wrapping Jiuzhu's waist, making it more comfortable to lean on.

pregnant

The princess stopped laughing suddenly, turned her head to look at King Huai's eyes with disgust, and stretched out her hand to twist it around King Huai's waist.

"Hey!" King Huai almost jumped up in pain.

Okay, what are you screwing him for?

He could understand that the virtues and virtues in the past were all dressed up by the Wu family. After spending the whole day with Princess An, with the support of his sister-in-law, he finally revealed his sinister true face!

But the Crown Princess is very close to Ji, what else can he do other than endure it?

What's more... what's more...

Apart from being a bit fierce towards him, the princess was actually kind to him.

"See how the Crown Prince treated the Crown Princess?" Princess Huai took away the wine glass of King Huai with a stern face, and gave him a hangover soup instead: "Learn more."

"The prince's concubine's feet can kick a big man of 200 kilograms. Would the prince dare to provoke him?" Wang Huai said angrily, "If you have nothing to do with me, I can't bear it anymore?"

"What do you know?" King Huai's aggrieved look made him laugh: "Although the Crown Princess has good skills, have you ever blushed against the Crown Prince?"

King Huai nodded suddenly: "That's true, why do you think this is?"

On weekdays, the five younger siblings would laugh like a flower, and their voices would be soft, saying "My Highness" on the left and "Your Highness is well" on the right, as if the fifth brother was omnipotent in his eyes.

It's strange to say that the fifth brother, who used to be lazy and playful, was not very good-tempered. In front of the fifth younger brother and sister, he was gentle and considerate, and even his words were gentle.

"Why?" Princess Huai looked at the two of them snuggling together with a very gentle smile: "Naturally, it's for the sake of sincerity and intimacy."

Giving your sincerity and knowing how to cherish your sincerity is a good love.

The longevity banquet was over, and the drunk Jiu Zhu obediently let Yun Duqing lead her. When he walked out of the steps of His Royal Highness, he almost fell with his foot in the air, but fortunately he hugged him in time.

"His Royal Highness." But he didn't know it, and smiled at him with crooked eyes.

Yang Duo-like, whispered: "His Royal Highness Prince, go to the slave and let someone carry the chariot."

"No." Yun Duqing bent down and carried Jiuzhu on his back: "If you are drunk, Wan will definitely cry when he falls off the carriage."

Yang Duo glanced at the smiling crown princess lying on the back of His Royal Highness, and silently retreated to the side.

Blame him for talking.

"Your Highness."

"Um?"

"The moon is bright tonight."

"Um."

"So I accompany you to bask in the moon." Jiuzhu obediently rested her head on his shoulder: "Your Highness is the best His Highness in the world."

Yun Duqing paused, he looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and chuckled softly: "Well, thank you for accompany me to sunbathe the moon."

"No thanks, you can do anything with His Highness." Jiuzhu rubbed his back, and then kissed his auricle.

"Since I am the best highness in the world, am I someone you like?" Yun Duqing continued to walk forward with his back on his back.

The person on his back quieted down, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded.

"Master said, liking is just being happy and joyful, and love is melting into the soul." Jiu Zhu gently wrapped his arms around his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "I don't like His Highness, it's love."

Yun Duqing laughed again, and everyone expressed the happiness and satisfaction in his laughter.

Realizing that Jiuzhu had fallen asleep leaning on her shoulder, Yun Duqing whispered, "Where is it that you accompany me to bask in the moon, and I carry the piglet to bask in the moon."

Suddenly, he stopped and looked towards the end of the corridor.

Yun Yanze, wearing a flail, was standing in the dark where the lanterns couldn't shine, watching him silently. A few guards with knives stood behind him, guarding him tightly.

The eyes of the two brothers met, and neither spoke, nor had anything to say.

One of them is the noble Crown Prince, and the other is a sinner removed from the royal family tree.

The guards saluted in unison: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Yun Duqing nodded to them reservedly, unaware that there was something wrong with her carrying her own crown princess, and walked past them leisurely.

Yun Yanze glanced at the person on Yun Duqing's back, with a smile on his crimson cheeks, innocent and happy unlike the people in the palace.

Jiu Zhu "fascinated" and "fascinated" his face was twisted, and turned his face to the other side, leaving only the back of his head.

The night wind blew, bringing a faint mint fragrance to the two of them.

He remembered the mint next to Ming Jiuzhu's mausoleum in his dream, which spread to the tomb of King Chen.

"Sinner Yanze, are you still leaving?"

He looked back and looked down at the shackles on his wrists.

A dream is a dream.

Dreams are false and can never come true.
