Unforgettable Emperor’s Favor

Yu Qingjia was also shocked when she realized that the person in front of her was the prince. Shouldn't King Yingchuan be in Yecheng Palace? Why did he appear in Yanzhou?

Murong Xu looked at the little lady in front of him with great interest, although she was not very old, her appearance was already stunning, especially the faint beauty in her eyebrows and eyes. Murong Xu has been in the palace since he was a child, and he has seen many singers and concubines, many of them are distinguished by their color, but their beauty and charm are all on the surface, and the corners of their eyes and brows are all calculated to seduce. But the woman in front of her is not. She has a calm expression, her eyes are bright and moist, with displeasure shining in them, but the corners of her eyes seem to be picky, clear and gorgeous, clear and weak, when she looks at her like this , Murong Xu felt out of his mind for a moment, as if all this today was his imagination, when he came back to his senses, he found that there was only a picture of a beautiful woman in front of him.

Murong Xu regained his composure, and found that the little beauty in front of him was still there, and he was not dreaming again. Murong Xu couldn't help but smile, he is the King of Yingchuan, although he is not as highly valued by his father as his elder brother, but he is still a prince after all, he is born with calmness and plunder. However, if he came to other places to avoid the limelight and relax, who would have thought that he would meet such a stunning beauty, if Murong Xu could easily let the beauty go, his surname would be Murong Bai.

Murong Xu didn't feel the slightest bit of displeasure at being humiliated, he still smiled coquettishly and resolutely, and his eyes rolled slowly, making no secret of his admiration for the beauty. It was also because Murong Xu's attention was all attracted by Yu Qingjia, and he completely ignored the woman behind the curtain. He took a cursory look, then looked away, and continued to look at Yu Qingjia with a smile. In his opinion, this was nothing more than the little beauty's sister or maid, and it was nothing important.

Murong Xu smiled and asked: "I am the King of Yingchuan, and my single name is Xu. I don't know how to call the little lady?"

Yu Qingjia calmed down after being surprised. She didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but the road ahead was blocked by eunuchs, so she could only give Murong Xu an annoyed look, and said in an evasive tone: "The little girl pays homage to King Yingchuan. The elders in the family have called , my little girl dare not delay, so I will leave first."

Murong Xu smiled: "It's just right, I'm sending my lady there, and I'm going to meet the little lady's elders along the way. I'm wondering what kind of family it is that can raise such a beauty as my lady."

Yu Qingjia didn't want to bring this troublesome prince to the Yu family at all, and once he knew his identity, wouldn't it be more endless. Yu Qingjia's face turned pale, her beautiful eyes were full of water, and she was full of condemnation: "Is it just a little girl who bumped into King Yingchuan just now, but even the royal family has no reason to stop people in broad daylight. This is Wuliang Temple , King Yingchuan please respect yourself."

The feminine waiter immediately yelled "Bold" in a high-pitched voice, Murong Xu's smile didn't change, and there was a flash of displeasure when he heard the waiter's words, he glanced at the waiter impatiently, and said: "Who told you to talk? Still haven't apologized to the lady."

The **** scolded himself in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward and slapped himself twice, and said with a smile: "This servant is rude and offended the lady, please punish me."

Yu Qingjia didn't want to get involved with the people in the palace at all, although Murong Xu said it nicely, but if she really touched these eunuchs, there would be troubles in the future. Yu Qingjia didn't want to argue with them, so she said "no problem" in a low voice, and pulled Murong Yan to go around. The two young eunuchs rushed to the corridor, lowered their heads and backed away. Although they lowered their eyebrows and looked good, they still blocked the road. Yu Qingjia frowned and looked back at Murong Xu.

Murong Xu was playing with the folding fan in his hand, and smiled calmly: "Little lady, you haven't answered my first question yet."

Yu Qingjia knew that it would be impossible not to announce her name today, so she took a step back and bowed her hands respectfully: "The fourth daughter of the Yu family, my little girl, whose name may stain the ears of King Yingchuan, so I dare not say more."

It is true that a woman's name cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will. In a well-organized family, only the father, brother and husband can know the woman's boudoir name. However, knowing the ranking of the beauty's surname in front of him is not much different from knowing the name. Murong Xu didn't bother, but asked with great interest: "I vaguely heard that there is a beautiful poppies in the Yu family. Could it be that?" you?"

When Yu Qingjia heard this, she became angry. It is true that good things do not go out and evil things travel thousands of miles. How could such a reputation spread to the ears of these people in Yecheng? Yu Qingjia pretended to be confused, and shook her head blankly: "No."

"No?" Murong Xu was very sorry to hear that, his eyes rested on Yu Qingjia's face for a moment, and he chuckled shortly, "No one recognizes such a special color, I'm afraid that 'Poppy' is just a false name." .To me, if you can’t call yourself a beauty, there will be no beauty in the world.”

Speaking of this, Murong Xu paused, not knowing what to think of, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Not necessarily, the previous one still deserves it."

Murong Xu suddenly laughed, Yu Qingjia didn't know why, she didn't guess who the "that" Murong Xu was talking about, but she felt a little pain in her hand. What's the matter with the vixen? Why did her hand become so strong that it hurt her bones.

Murong Xu was in a great mood, and Yu Qingjia sneaked away, but he didn't pay attention when he saw it, and let them go. The smile on his face was still there, looking at the backs of Yu Qingjia and the two from a distance, he suddenly felt a little weird.

Women from aristocratic families often wear curtains to put on airs when they go out. The Murong family has a part of Xianbei blood, so Murong Xu has always looked down on the pretentious and noble attitudes of these aristocratic families. But Rao is the most showy family in Yecheng, and I haven't seen any family members who still cover their bodies and faces in the temple.

There is no cover on Yu Qingjia's body, why don't the people around her take it off?

Murong Xu had the intention to call these two people to a stop, he was about to speak when another voice came from behind: "King Yingchuan, are you here?"

Murong Xu responded, and didn't care about Cai Cai's doubts just now. He turned around, smiled and nodded to the other person: "Liao Shangshu."

Liao Zheng turned around from the other side and caught up with Murong Xu: "The old minister was just negligent for a moment, and when he came to his senses, King Yingchuan was gone. The old minister deserves to die."

Of course Murong Xu would not respond to his words, but declined with a smile. Liao Zheng had just gone to the Buddhist hall to offer incense, and when he turned around, Murong Xu disappeared. He was startled, and hurriedly followed his footsteps, but he didn't expect to catch up with the master here. When Liao Zheng came here just now, his eyes caught sight of the woman. Liao Zheng felt helpless. After all, he was from the Murong family.

Thinking of this, Liao Zheng inevitably felt contemptuous in his heart. He casually glanced in another direction, thinking that there were two more women clinging to the powerful because of their beauty, but when he saw one of them The figure was stunned instead.

Murong Xu smiled and talked to the newly appointed Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry. Seeing that Liao Zheng hadn't responded for a long time, he followed the other's gaze and found that Liao Zheng was looking at Yu Qingjia who had gone away. Murong Xu smiled knowingly, and said: "Shangshu Liao, I just saw a remarkable person. I didn't expect that in a small Buddhist temple, there would be such a wonderful person."

Liao Zheng was not in the mood to ask about the stunning beauty that Murong Xu was talking about, his eyes were fixed on the other figure for a long time, and his brows could not help but frown. This person is covered by a wide curtain, and the white gauze is tightly wrapped around it, so that only a vague outline can be seen. However, Liao Zheng, as the teacher of the deposed prince, had been in and out of the East Palace for many years, even if it was just a shadow, it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Liao Zheng asked hesitantly, "This is..."

Murong Xu was careless and didn't care: "That's the fourth mother of the Yu family, she is extremely beautiful."

Is it a woman from the Yu family? Liao Zheng didn't expect that he and Murong Xu had fallen out. When he saw the other party wearing a curtain, he subconsciously thought that this was Miss Yu's family. Liao Zheng looked and looked in that direction, laughing at himself, he may have been more frightened in the past few days, that's why he looked like King Langya. That young man was hunted down by the emperor, and he should be thankful for surviving. How could he return to the court to take revenge on him? What's more, although Murong Yan has a beautiful appearance, he is an out-and-out young man. He hates others to make a fuss about his appearance in his life, how could he be willing to pretend to be a woman?

Liao Zheng remembered the temper of the former Langya King, smiled and didn't ask any more questions. When Liao Zheng and Murong Xu were talking, Yu Qingjia and Murong Yan had already walked away. They turned around the corridor, their figures were hidden by the Buddhist hall, and soon they were out of sight. When Murong Yan walked to the corner, he continued to cover up his movements and quietly glanced behind him.

Liao Zheng, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, is a big celebrity in front of the emperor. Two years earlier, he was the teacher of the abolished prince and the guest of honor in the entire East Palace.

It was a good thing he did to report that the prince was dissatisfied with Emperor Ming Wu.

Murong Yan sighed softly in his heart, this is the charm of power. So what if it is the crown prince, and what if he promises to treat him as the emperor's teacher in the future, as long as the crown prince does not sit on the dragon chair for a day, it will be the crown prince or not the king after all. Putting hope on a prince who may ascend the throne in the future, how can he go to the king who is in power now.

Because Liao Zheng reported the prince, he later took the lead in searching the East Palace for the word "Chi" written by the prince himself. When Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty passed away and King Changshan ascended the throne, he treated this "humeral loyal minister" more favorably, and now he has been promoted to Shangshu.

After two years, this is the first time that Murong Yan faced the tragedy in the East Palace. His enemies indulged in their enjoyment and rose to the top, but he couldn't even name them. Once met his cousin who dared not even lift his head, and even dared to tease his appearance in person, but Yu Qingjia was stopped, even though he was so violent in his heart that he wanted to kill someone, he knew that he should not be impulsive or act on his will. He and Murong Xu were not close, and he couldn't see his face clearly through the curtain, so he could confuse Murong Xu, but his voice would definitely be recognized.

Murong Yan took the opportunity to turn around and glanced back coldly, but in an instant his sight was blocked by the wooden window and wall. Murong Yan looked away calmly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he just went for a walk outside, and didn't pass by the edge of life and death.

After Murong Yan's figure turned around, Liao Zheng looked back inexplicably. For some reason, he always felt uneasy, as if he had overlooked an extremely important matter. He has been in politics for many years, and he has gradually developed a strange intuition about danger. Now this intuition tells him that if he fails to figure out this matter, death is likely to be waiting for him ahead.

"Liao Shangshu?" Murong Xu wondered, "What are you looking at?"

Liao Zheng shook his head and said nothing, the two women were no longer in his sights, but he looked in the direction where they were leaving for a while, and suddenly made up his mind: "It's nothing, but I always feel uneasy. Ying Chuan Forgive me, I will excuse you for a moment."

Murong Xu called out, stopped him, and looked him up and down with great interest: "What is Shang Shu going to do?"

Liao Zheng knew that if he didn't explain clearly, the king of Yingchuan probably wouldn't let him go. Although King Yingchuan was not valued by the emperor and had mediocre influence in the court, this did not prevent Murong Xu from being the prince's grandson and inheriting the suspicion of the emperor's family. Liao Zheng could only sigh, and said frankly: "I always feel like I have something on my mind, and I want to see what the woman wearing the curtain looks like."

Murong Xu really didn't expect it to be such a thing, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed loudly: "I don't know that Liao Shangshu has such a habit!" After laughing, there was still a smile on Murong Xu's face, but his eyes were A little deepness was revealed: "Liao Shangshu, those two women are not those women from Yecheng, they are the female relatives of the Yu family in Yanzhou."

Liao Zheng's face turned red when Murong Xu spoke in a pointed tone, and his blood surged with embarrassment. He tried his best to put on a straight face, and stroked his beard very righteously and openly: "Of course, the old minister is familiar with the sage books, of course he knows the truth."

Murong Xu smiled lightly and didn't go into it deeply. He had heard those inconsequential rumors, but no matter what, this person in front of him was the emperor's favorite new minister. Murong Xu was just a bastard, neither a direct wife nor an eldest son, and his biological mother was not favored by the emperor either. It's okay for him to make a point on the sidelines, but it's meaningless if it goes too deep. Murong Xu said: "Liao Shangshu is good enough. But we just came to Yanzhou, our mouths were full of sand all the way, and we haven't been able to relax. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. The king sees this temple as interesting, not as good as ours." Invite someone to come over, wash off the dust on your body first, and then Liao Shangshu will go to other things."

As soon as Liao Zheng heard it, he understood that this woman who couldn't live without the woman who played and sang every night in Yecheng, now that he settled down, his hands were itchy again. Liao Zheng thought that if he was dragged away by this person, he must not be able to get away all night. He was thinking about something now, and he really didn't want to spend time with these princes. Liao Zheng resigned: "I don't know the rhythm, and I don't know anything about singing and dancing, so I won't disturb King Yingchuan's interest."

"What's the matter? If the guests are proficient in melody, what do you want those singers to do? Liao Shangshu doesn't have to refuse. This time, if you have the trouble to accompany me to Yanzhou, I will keep it in my heart. This meal is my favor to you. thanks."

"I still have business to do, the Holy One has an order..."

"Are you talking about the map?" Murong Xu didn't take it seriously, "Although father sent you to Yanzhou to repair the map of Hebei, Qingzhou and Xu Sanzhou, the survey of the map cannot be completed overnight. Let's have a drink tonight and wait until tomorrow It’s not too late to do business.”

This is the prince after all, Liao Zheng couldn't refuse any more, so he had to accept it. These few days because of the matter of King Langya, the emperor's emotions were very extreme. The emperors of other dynasties were angry but threw things and cursed people, but their emperors were in a bad mood and wanted to kill people. A few days ago Murong Xu committed some serious crimes, he didn't dare to stay in Yecheng at this juncture and suffer misfortune, so he just assumed a false title and followed Liao Zheng to work outside. Murong Xu's name is Supervisor but in fact he is just making up the numbers. The real person in charge of this trip is Liao Zheng.

Liao Zheng took the initiative to invite foreign businessmen, but he may not have the idea of ​​avoiding danger. He thought of the current situation in Yecheng, which was full of turmoil and panic, and his heart was heavy. Because he is a famous person, coupled with the past events, he pays special attention to the matter of King Langya. I heard that a few days ago, someone reported that King Langya was found, and the emperor sent a large sum of money to hunt him down, but it turned out that he was just catching wind and shadow. The emperor had invested so much in anticipation before, and now he is so angry. In the past few days, even the empress and monk Yin Yikun dare not walk around at will, let alone other courtiers.

Liao Zheng felt unspeakably worried, he was the crown prince and grand tutor, he used to have close contacts with the East Palace, and knew the temperament of the people in the East Palace very well. The prince in front had a gentle temperament and could not see murder and suffering, but the little prince in the East Palace was completely opposite. Sometimes Liao Zheng even wondered why it was Murong Yan who escaped. If it was the prince's other sons, even if ten or twenty escaped, he would not be so nervous. Not only Liao Zheng, but the emperor spent so much effort, he would rather hunt and kill his nephew under the guidance of the world, probably because he knew the danger and was afraid.

Every time Liao Zheng thinks of that handsome and shameless young master, his heart shudders. He has rarely slept well in the past few years, and in the middle of the night he always feels that someone is staring at him in the dark. Others don't know about Murong Yan's temperament, but Liao Zheng knows it all too well. Once he offended Murong Yan, if he couldn't kill him with one blow, he would not even die happily if it fell into his hands in the future.

Liao Zheng shuddered, and the fluke he had just now was swept away. No, he still had to go see that woman. Well done, why wear a curtain?
