Chapter 24: The Crown
Unable to bear Yan Shulou's scorching gaze, Du Mingqian kissed Yan Shulou's cheek meaningfully, and hurriedly continued to speak, so as not to go on like this, and Yan Shulou would take advantage of him instead of teasing him.
"My lord, we can be like this...so..." After speaking, Yan Shulou's eyes became brighter, and when the words came to an end, Yan Shulou excitedly clapped his hands, hugged Du Mingqian's face and gave a big reward. With a sweet kiss, I happily called people out to prepare.But Du Mingqian was touching his cheek embarrassingly behind him, really... more and more active, if this continues, how can he bear it...
After the next day, Yan Shulou obtained the permission of the emperor, went to Qiyang Palace to find Yan Zhaoqi, and drove out all the palace members, leaving only Yan Zhaoqi.No one knew what the two of them said. The palace people only knew that when they parted, Yan Zhaoqi patted his chest and swore, "Brother Emperor, wrap it on me." Yan Shulou nodded and left in satisfaction. .
After noon that day, Yan Zhaoqi rushed out of Qiyang Palace and ran around in a playful manner. The palace was filled with happy laughter. The children who were a few years old seemed to have wings on their feet, and they flew far away in a single swipe. Nobody can stop him.Unknowingly, he ran outside De Jieyu's bedroom, seeing the beautiful scenery here, he stopped his feet, dragged the panting palace servants, and ran around laughing and joking.
De Jieyu was in a deep sleep, but when she was awakened by Yan Zhaoqi's noise, she became irritable, yelled that someone was playing outside, and kicked him out.
It happened to be An Ning at noon, and her violent roar passed through the quiet hall and rushed into Yan Zhaoqi's ears. After being frightened by this, he burst into tears, and the palace officials couldn't persuade him.
After hearing the sound, the nanny went out to watch, and hurriedly reported to De Jieyu about the sixteenth prince's frolicking outside.De Jieyu gritted her teeth, bit the bullet and put it on simply, and went out to meet people with a forced smile——Yan Zhaoqi is the treasure held in the hands of the emperor, and with her current status, she dare not offend Yan Zhaoqi.
"Wow wow wow."
"Oh my little ancestor, what's the matter, don't cry." De Jieyu's eyes were filled with boredom, and she forced a smile to comfort her. After a while, Yan Zhaoqi grinned heartlessly. With a row of white teeth, he hugged her and rubbed against her a few times.
Yan Zhaoqi's skill in acting like a baby is very good, and De Jieyu's heart was melted in two or three strokes.Putting the displeasure just behind her, De Jieyu happily took Yan Zhaoqi's hand and invited him to sit in the bedroom.
This sitting lasted an afternoon, and when it was time for dinner, Yan Zhaoqi happily went back with a few snacks.
Unexpectedly, early the next morning, Yan Zhaoqi suddenly developed symptoms of nausea and vomiting, causing a sensation in the palace.Wen Xun's Son of Heaven rushed there, and saw the imperial physician calmly giving Yan Zhaoqi the pulse, while Yan Zhaoqi half-closed his eyes weakly, and when he saw the Son of Heaven, tears flowed out unconvincingly. It hurts.
The imperial doctor bowed to greet him, with a not very good expression on his face, and replied with a serious face: "Your Highness Sixteen, you have been poisoned. Fortunately, the poison is not deep, so there is no serious problem."
The Son of Heaven was furious, and angrily called for a thorough investigation of who was responsible for the murder. Then he took Yan Zhaoqi's hand, comforted him softly, and coaxed him to sleep. Fang left with a dark face.
Dare to do anything to the emperor's favorite child, it's like pulling a tiger's beard.Within half a day, the emperor's staff found out the source of the toxin, and it was actually in the snacks that De Jieyu gave Yan Zhaoqi yesterday.
The Son of Heaven couldn't hold back his anger anymore, De Jieyu touched his back repeatedly, and this time he directly hurt his most beloved child, how could he bear it any longer.In consideration of the influence of De Jieyu's natal family, the emperor did not put De Jieyu in the cold palace, but demoted her from a third-rank Jieyu to a fifth-rank talented person, and punished her to face the wall and think about her mistakes, and chant Buddhist scriptures for a year. Do not go out.Not long after the clinker matter, the emperor's staff followed the poisonous line to investigate, and found Liang Baolin. He accidentally learned that Liang Baolin had met De Jieyu some time ago, and not long after meeting her, he immediately She was poisoned, and the poison she was poisoned was exactly the same as that of Yan Zhaoqi!
A series of things connected together, no matter how they have something to do with De Jieyu, the emperor was furious, and degraded De Jieyu's grade again, so that he was downgraded to the sixth-grade treasure forest, and punished her for three years, not to go out, not to go out. See parents and children!
For Yan Pincheng, this incident was like a blow to the head. He was punished for the previous incident, and the ban has not yet been lifted, and this incident has yet to be lifted, and his status in the palace is at risk.He wisely did not intercede with his mother, nor did he stop contacting people related to his mother, so as not to get into trouble again.
After this incident, the emperor discovered that there was another Liang Baolin in his harem who had been neglected by him for many years. In order to control people's hearts, he drove to visit Liang Baolin himself. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Liang Baolin's weak appearance , I couldn't bear it, and found that Liang Baolin had a pitiful and weak beauty in his illness.Seeing De Jieyu, who is used to fiery temperament, the Son of Heaven suddenly felt something interesting when he saw this gentle person again, especially Liang Baolin's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the deceased Concubine Xian, so seeing him today, I think of the ancestors' love The emperor fell in love with him, and in the next few days, he came to see Liang Baolin after sunset. After the poison was detoxified, he even directly invited her to sleep with her. Overnight, he raised her from Baolin to four. As a pin beauty, Yan Guangyu's status in the palace also rose, while Yan Pincheng's status declined further and further.
After hearing this series of follow-up events, the instigator, Yan Shulou, laughed so hard that he leaned against Du Mingqian's arms every day, counting down what happened in the palace today, and kept praising him for his good ideas.Du Mingqian would always pick up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake made by himself and stuff it into Yan Shulou's mouth when Yan Shulou laughed so hard that the corners of his mouth went up to the sky, blocking his eloquent words.
"My lord has been working hard these days." Du Mingqian adjusted Yan Shulou's head, which was resting in his arms, to a comfortable position: "Although the idea came from the minister, it was your lord who bought the imperial physician and the emperor's subordinates." Your strength, and your contribution is also quite a lot.”
"Mingyu, do you also think that I have done a lot of credit!" Yan Shulou raised his head suddenly and said excitedly, "Then make me some sweet-scented osmanthus cake to compensate me!"
Du Mingqian's smile froze.Ever since he made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for Yan Shulou, Yan Shulou has become addicted to eating them. From time to time, he asked himself to make them for him. At first, he used the excuse that he was not suitable for entering the place of oily smoke, but he actually opened up a small room. , specially for myself to make sweet-scented osmanthus cake.Every time he didn't want to move and wanted to refuse, he would blink his watery eyes, staring at him like a puppy begging for mercy, making himself feel ashamed, so he bit the bullet and made it for him to eat. .
"...My lord, you never said that as a minister."
"Okay, then it's settled!" Yan Shulou took his words as wind in his ears, clasped his hands, held Du Mingqian's face and kissed again, "I'll make some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for me later, remember not to make them so sweet!"
……
After the incident, Yan Guangyu knelt in front of Concubine Shu and apologized to Concubine Shu for being punished. Concubine Shu couldn't bear it and called him to get up, but he couldn't kneel because he was punished for harming his adoptive mother.The matter passed through the mouth of the spies, which alarmed the emperor. The emperor thought that Yan Guangyu was extremely filial, and he was an example for all the princes. He greatly praised him and rewarded him and his concubine Shu.A few days later, Yan Guangyu personally came to the door to apologize to Yan Shulou, bent down and saluted, with all sincerity, saying that he was dizzy because of an accident with his biological mother, and misunderstood Yan Shulou's intentions.Yan Shulou originally wanted to refuse with a cold face, but thinking of Yan Guangyu daring to express his doubts about his intentions so sincerely, it can be seen that he is an upright person, and thinking about how well he treated him in the past, Yan Shulou couldn't bear it anymore. I forgave Yan Guangyu, but I still have some relationship with him.
On the other hand, the situation in the court is changing rapidly. Because of the loss of power of the two mothers and sons in Yanpin City, the court officials were almost completely inclined to the balance of Yanpin City, and gradually returned to balance. On the one hand, Yan Shu Tower, and on the other, Yan Guangyu. .
In contrast, the prince appeared to be weak and weak, with no one to support him.
A few days later, the day of Yanpin City's crowning ceremony came, and the emperor asked all the princes to participate in the ceremony of his weak crown, but Yan Shulou dismissed it, and refused to leave on the grounds that his concubine suddenly fell ill. Yan Guangyu also used the excuse of mental and physical exhaustion, Take a leave of absence.What should have been a lively crowning ceremony was much deserted due to the absence of the two powerful princes, and the ministers of the two princes' henchmen were not interested. Seeing Yan Pincheng, they only congratulated perfunctorily, turned around and put on a straight face. Laughed in a low voice.
The Son of Heaven also had a bad attitude towards Yan Pincheng because of the previous incident. Among the people present, only the crown prince Yan Ziyang cared about Yan Pincheng and took good care of him.
After the ceremony of crowning the crown, the emperor actually canonized Yanpin City as King Huaiyang, the first-rank county king, who was inferior to the first-rank kings Yan and Qi.Yan Pincheng dared not speak out, so he could only accept the order to thank him. After the gift, his ears grew wings, and he flew to the side of the ministers, listening to their whispers about his decline, and he was furious on the spot. Get mad.
Yan Ziyang seemed to be aware of Yan Pincheng's anger, smiled gently, patted him on the shoulder, said a few words of comfort, and left with the ministers.
Looking at the Prince's back, Yan Pincheng slightly curled his lips, a trick came to his mind.
