The rise of the prince

Chapter 41 One Leaning, One Leaning, One Laughing—Jiang Mingyue—Jiang Qiu
The night is hazy, the smoldering clouds and haze have not melted into the snow, but the night in Kyoto is even colder, the courtyard of the palace, the blue tiles and red walls, the small courtyard pavilions, the laughter and the fragrance, the candles are dimly lit, Qiu'er is holding the lamp, Yue'er also came over.

Li Ye swiped the pen, the ink was thick, and after a while, the beautiful cursive style fell on the paper: "Let's lean, look up, laugh, every river is bright and the moon is every river autumn."

"What a beautiful sentence." Qiu'er's eyes sparkled, she couldn't help reaching out her hand to touch it, but quickly put it away.

"I'll find someone to frame it tomorrow and hang it on the wall. This is a masterpiece!" Li Ye said proudly. The economic crisis in the palace has passed. After relaxing, the whole person tends to float. Pretentious.

Yue'er hugged his arm: "I also want my son, and my house is empty."

Li Ye rubbed her little head, looked out the window at night, "Qiu'er, Yue'er, you all move to this yard tomorrow."

After being quiet for a while, "Ah!" Yue'er exclaimed, covering her little face and refusing to let go, Qiu'er lowered her head, her face had already turned into a red apple.

"My lord, will this be unreasonable?" Qiu'er whispered.

Li Ye laughed and hugged one, soft as jade, with a pleasant fragrance, Qiu'er was slightly taller and half a head lower than him, and Yue'er was small and exquisite, only reaching his chest.

The two girls didn't dare to speak anymore, their necks turned pink, and their bodies trembled slightly.

Yue'er and Qiu'er lived in the same house, and Li Ye went to see it. Most of the servants of the palace lived there, and the conditions must be far worse than his own yard.

His courtyard is the largest except for the main courtyard of King Xiao and Princess Wang. There are seven or eight side rooms in total. There are also rockery pavilions, flowers and plants, and a clear pond. It is a waste to live alone.

But to live in this courtyard, it is reasonable to say that it can only be his wife and concubine.

"It's okay, the conditions here are good, and it's easier." Li Ye said and sat down, and Qiuer Yueer put one on each thigh. He was tall and could fit the two girls, which made Li Ye a little proud: " In the future, the palace will not be short of money, and this son will not have to travel around, he can travel around the mountains and rivers, have fun, and when he is crowned and appointed, he will be justified, sooner or later."

The words were sudden, but they had to be said sooner or later. The two girls listened, and their necks turned pink when they realized it. Hidden in his chest, he didn't speak, and the room suddenly became quiet, with occasional charcoal fire crackling.

"Stop arching, and arching out of the hole again." Li Ye pressed Yue'er's little head, and the little girl blushed and said, "But Shizi. How embarrassing."

"Looking up, looking up, laughing, Jiang Mingyue and Jiang Qiu, one autumn, one month, the two of you are enough." Li Ye let out a sigh of relief. The ancient sages are lonely. He is not a sage, but he is also very lonely. Lonely, in a sense he is alone in this world.And the only ones he could confide in were the two girls, he knew in his heart that no matter what, the two girls would not betray him.

"I want it too, son, please write me one too." Qiu'er said in a muffled voice, still not daring to look up.

"Okay, I'll write you whatever Qiu'er wants, but don't try to take advantage of me, you'll have to return it later."

"Yes," Qiu'er agreed shyly.

For future planning, Li Ye already has a general direction.

Today, after knowing that Degong is Dang Pingzhang, Li Ye also understands what happened before. Gillian is probably his fiancee Wang Lianshan in name. At first, I can understand my resistance, and then I help her come up with a plan. After getting rid of the marriage contract, her attitude has improved a lot. With the cooperation of the Wang family, things will be easier.

As far as he is concerned, there are only two major matters left for him, one is to delay the marriage, and the other is not to cause trouble, both of which are very simple.

As for the future, Li Ye is optimistic.In the big picture, although the Jing Dynasty has minor problems and is beginning to decline, it is still in its prime, and it is almost impossible to have military disasters near Kyoto during his lifetime.

You don't have to worry about yourself, as long as he doesn't attract firepower and the people in Beijing don't complain, he will be fine.

In fact, even after the establishment and improvement of the imperial examination system, the selection system in the past dynasties still has two aspects.On the one hand, the normal selection, the imperial examination, depends on strength.On the other hand, it is the shadow system. Simply put, it is guaranteed that the royal heirs will have official positions, economic resources and social status, because the world is still the emperor's world.

Like the Song system, the power of the royal heirs has been greatly weakened, but the Mengyin system can still guarantee a stable life, wealth and glory, but most of them have to be crowned before they are gifted.

Unless the dynasty is in decline, as long as you are a royal heir, birth means that you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime and a high status.

For example, the most famous Uncle Liu Bei, Liu Huang, his royal blood was so sparse that it was almost hard to tell. At that time, the Han Dynasty was declining, but his parents were still blessed with officials, and he had prestige.

This is the royal blood. Li Ye can only say that he is lucky. Li Xingzhou is not a good person, but he was born in a good way.

It was dawn, and Li Ye ran in the morning as usual. The people in the palace had long been accustomed to the prince's strange behavior.

When passing by the door of the next door this time, Chen Yu, an Imperial scholar who was usually afraid that he would not be able to get there, was standing in front of the door, with a servant holding a lamp, looking in his direction, hesitating to speak.

Li Ye couldn't see clearly from a distance, but his keen intuition told him that the old man seemed to have something to say to him but couldn't speak, so he simply stopped, walked up to the old man and made a bow.

The old man returned the salute, subconsciously took half a step back, and then said: "The old man has seen the son."

Li Ye bowed and said: "Master Chen is serious. The boy was young and energetic before, he acted recklessly and didn't know how to teach. He accidentally hurt the old man in a moment of rudeness. Please forgive me."

Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect him to say that, and it took him a while to react: "Oh, don't mention this matter, don't mention this matter." Li Ye also knew how this almost fatal matter could pass like this , I will not mention it if I am sensible.

Chen Yu cupped his hands and stepped forward: "My lord, I am waiting here today to ask for something, but it is inconvenient to speak."

"Master Chen, it's okay to say." Sure enough, it was exactly as Li Ye guessed.

Chen Yu nodded: "The old man just said it straight. In the past few days, I heard that Mr. Lu's masterpiece "The Wind and Rain on November [-]th" was praised in Beijing. I went to pay my respects, but I couldn’t go up to the third floor. The Tingyu Tower is the property of the royal residence, so I would like to ask my son to clear it up, and the prospective old man can go up to the third floor to have a look, and I will be very grateful in the future.”

Li Ye was taken aback. It turned out that it was for this. Isn't this the benefit of the world?Just because of the favor of this court third-rank official, he couldn't ask for more!
