Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

The woman was obviously startled by the shout outside. The maid next to her quickly took the porcelain from the woman's hand and carefully held it in her arms.

Brothers Li Mingrui and Li Mingyu walked into Jingchen Palace side by side. When they saw the mess inside, Li Mingrui's face turned ugly. "Li Wanrou, what are you doing?"

When the woman in gorgeous clothes saw Li Mingrui, she snorted, turned around and walked inside.

The two Li Mingrui brothers also followed inside, bypassed several screens, and entered the east room. There is a small kang in the north of the house, and a beautiful middle-aged woman is sitting on the kang.

"The Emperor and Prince Fu are here. Come and sit down. The Emperor hasn't been here for a while." That beautiful woman is of course the Aunt Xue in the emperor's mouth, Mo Xueyan. During the reign of the late emperor, she was named a virtuous concubine. Later, the late emperor died and Li Mingrui ascended the throne as emperor, and then she was promoted to concubine.

Li Mingrui sat on the edge of the Kang, while Mingyu sat on the embroidered pillar that the palace maid had moved.

"Aunt Xue, how are you these days?" Li Mingrui asked.

"Okay, how can it be bad if you can eat and sleep? Even this girl Wanrou makes trouble for me all day long, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let you decree a marriage. I just want to find her a husband, a good one Take care of her. "No woman who can survive in the palace is a simple person. When the emperor comes now, Mo Xueyan certainly understands why he is here.

"Aunt Xue, I'm afraid this won't work out. The new top scholar already has a fiancée, and her fiancée is still waiting for him to return home to get married. Why don't I choose someone with outstanding talent and appearance for my fifth sister? It doesn't have to be this one. ." Li Mingrui tried.

When Li Wanrou next to her heard this, she immediately quit, "No, I want this Lin Zixuan, and I don't want anyone else." She became more charming and charming.

Li Mingrui's face changed slightly, "Wanrou, the emperor doesn't quite understand. You just met this Lin Zixuan today, why do you have to do it with him? There are countless noble families in the court, and any one you choose is better than his family. Well, his character is better than his, why are you so obsessed with him? "I really don't understand.

Li Wanrou became more submissive, and with red cheeks told about her visit to Baiyun Temple that day. "Brother Imperial, he saved my sister's life. My sister has nothing to repay, so I can only pledge myself to him." As he said this, he actually felt a little embarrassed.

Li Mingrui suddenly understood, but then his face turned cold, "Wanrou, you, a princess of a great country, actually disguised yourself as a man and sneaked out of the palace, and almost fell down the mountain. Are you too courageous?"

Li Mingrui's stern face made Li Wanrou a little scared. She was most afraid of this Third Emperor Brother, especially when he had a stern face. "Brother Emperor, I was just bored in the palace, and then I heard someone said that the peach blossoms in the mountains behind Baiyun Temple were blooming very well, so I went out to have a look. Who would have thought that there would be so many people there, accidentally. "Li Wanrou's voice became smaller and smaller.

Li Mingrui sighed, "You, just search hard. Look at you, do you still look like a dignified princess? You don't have to think about Lin Zixuan. I have put him in jail, but he is still the same." If you don’t change your original intention, it shows that he has a good relationship with his fiancée. Even if you marry him, you will not be happy in the future. I will find you another person with good looks and character, and you will marry Lin Zixuan. Forget it."

Li Wanrou gave up as soon as she heard this and ran to her mother's side, "Mother, concubine, listen to what the emperor said. It's rare for a daughter to fall in love with someone. He just has a fiancée at home, and he's not already married. Brother Huang It’s just a matter of granting a marriage and then finding a husband for that woman. Is my noble princess not even as good as a commoner’s daughter?”

Concubine Xian also said, "Your Majesty, I think Wanrou is right about this. Can't our magnificent golden branches and jade leaves be as good as a common girl? This Lin Zixuan is the number one scholar in Sanyuan, so he is considered worthy. It would be a pity for our Wanrou to marry a commoner girl. Your Majesty, I only have a daughter like Wanrou. I ask your Majesty to accept Wanrou for the sake of my dedication to you two brothers. Please ask." The woman said calmly, but it made Li Mingrui's face look even more ugly.

"Aunt Xue, you are my mother's cousin. After my mother passed away, Aunt Xue did her best to raise our two brothers. I will remember this kindness in my heart. But the important events in the court are not something that the harem can comment on. Lin Zixuan is outstanding in learning. He will be my right-hand man in the future. If he really marries the princess, won't I lose a humeral minister in the future? "This is absolutely unacceptable in all dynasties. This prince-in-law is just a title, a false title. , but could not serve as an official in the court, so Li Mingrui was naturally reluctant to let Lin Zixuan become the consort.

But Li Wanrou quit, "Brother Emperor, you just don't love Rou'er anymore. Why do you want to be an official but not an official? Isn't it just a word from Brother Emperor? As long as Brother Emperor is willing, what else can the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty say?" "After all, she just wants Lin Zixuan to be her consort.

"How dare you, are you talking nonsense about the important matters of the imperial court?" Li Mingrui was furious, "Today I tell you the truth, you don't want Lin Zixuan to be your consort. Tomorrow I will let someone choose for you from among the noble families in the imperial court. Prince Consort, from today onwards, you will stay here in Jingchen Palace and you are not allowed to go anywhere. "This Wanrou really needs a lesson.

When Li Wanrou heard this, she burst into tears, "Mother, look at my brother. When he became the emperor, he no longer recognized us as mother and daughter. I don't even think about it. If my uncle and the others hadn't been helping behind, how could they have turned around?" Will he become the emperor?"

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Xian's face changed drastically, and she quickly said to Li Mingrui, "Your Majesty, Rou'er is talking nonsense. She is a child, so you must not be as knowledgeable as her." Then she turned back and glared at her daughter, "I think you've been spoiled by me so much that you dare to say anything to anyone? Who told you this? You're in danger of dying, aren't you?"

Li Mingrui sneered, "I'm afraid that's what some people think in their hearts, right? Otherwise, with Wanrou's mind, she wouldn't be able to think of such words. Aunt Xue, I respect you as an elder and you are good to our brothers. This is why I keep you in the palace and take good care of you. Don't you look at the other concubines who gave birth to princes and are now practicing in Buddhist temples? It is best to be content. If a person is not satisfied, A big disaster is coming." After saying that, Li Mingrui walked away.

Mingyu also stood up. He had been silent just now. At this moment, he looked at Concubine Xian coldly, "Aunt Xue, there are some things that I don't say out loud, not because I don't know. I just think of your affection." That's all. Do you think I really don't know why my mother died? I'm afraid Aunt Xue didn't tell the truth, but she just wanted to save face. ." Mingyu finished speaking and left.

Concubine Xian looked at the two brothers leaving with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but murmured, "It's impossible, they can't know? Impossible, impossible."

When Li Wanrou saw her mother's appearance, she felt confused and asked, "Mom, what do you mean it's impossible?"

Concubine Xian came to her senses, reached out and slapped her daughter, "It was all you. If it weren't for you, why would I have offended these two brothers? How will I live my life in the future?"

The two brothers Li Mingrui returned to the Imperial Study Room, and Mingyu couldn't help but said, "I said at the beginning that all these imperial father's concubines should live in the Buddhist temple. They are the imperial father's concubines. Since the emperor has gone, They should be allowed to chant sutras and pray for their father every day. The emperor was soft-hearted and left Concubine Xian behind, but now he wants to interfere in the government affairs."

"It's not that you don't know that our mother's natal family are all literati, and they are not of great use. But Aunt Xue's family has produced several generals and marshals, and now half of the military power in the court is still held by their Mo family. If I am too fond of her, can I still hold the position of emperor? Now that I have only been on the throne for more than half a year, there are many things that I still cannot fully grasp. Why should I offend the Mo family yet? You were sent to the Northwest Army because I wanted you to have a good experience and then gradually replace the Mo family," Li Mingrui said helplessly.

"What about Lin Zixuan? How are you going to get him out?" Mingyu also understood the emperor's helplessness.

"That day, I only said that I would marry my sister to Lin Zixuan, but I didn't say who it was. Now I can only tell Jinghan about her kindness in saving me, and then give her a reward. I will recognize her as my sister. Well, give her the title of princess, so that you can have the best of both worlds." Li Mingrui already knew that this was the best way.

"Thanks to the emperor brother's thinking, this is feasible. However, the emperor brother just said that there are rules in all dynasties, and this consort cannot be an official. Emperor brother, are you willing to let Lin Zixuan go?" Mingyu asked with a smile. .

"What's so difficult about this? It's just a title. There's no level, food, or town. Do you think you can really be treated like a daughter of the clan? Since she's not a noble daughter of the clan, she naturally has nothing to do with that." Li Mingrui waved his hand, he was the emperor. , he can still have the final say on these things.

"Thank you very much, Brother Huang, otherwise I really don't know what to do. Brother Huang also knows that this time I am going to the Xu family to hire someone. If I can't rescue my second brother-in-law, you How do you want me to see the second sister?" Mingyu felt relieved when he heard that the matter was settled, and then said jokingly.

"Hmph, it's easier for you and Yunfei. All the girls from the Xu family are outstanding in appearance. I was still thinking that since Jinghan can't enter the palace, why not choose someone else to accompany her to the palace. Unexpectedly, you two It was quite quick, and it actually killed everyone." Li Mingrui also joked.

Ahem, some readers said this paragraph is a bit fantasy and unscientific. Hahaha, in fact, time travel itself is unscientific.
