Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 13
The second prince, Li Shengcheng, was born in the same year as the first prince, two years older than the current prince, and his biological mother was Concubine Jing.He is stable and reliable, he does his best in the affairs of the court, he is also extraordinarily diligent, he has made a lot of achievements in politics, and the Holy Majesty also appreciates him, but maybe he is a trick of fate, and he is always one step away from the prince.

In the past, it was not as good as the first crown prince who was the eldest son of the empress, but later he was no match for the current crown prince's mother's family background. When his mother concubine Concubine Jing entered the palace, the highest official in the family was only the third rank, which was not comparable to the hereditary marquis of Concubine Sheng's family. Than.

It's just that his mind is very famous in the court, and it seems that he has many supporters. In addition, in order to check and balance the East Palace, he is very supportive of him. Last year, he was appointed to be in charge of the Department of Public Security, and the safety of the entire Pingyang was entrusted to him. He has become Yunfei's immediate boss, and there is a faint tendency to compete for the throne.

It was also last year when Sheng Yang, who had always been on good terms with the Yun brothers, secretly contributed to the matter of competing with the prince for the management of the Department of Public Security, and helped the second brother, and the two brothers and sisters were closer than they were in the past 20 years .

Sheng Yang got out of the carriage, and it was not surprising that he invited the second prince's side concubine Hu Azi.

At this moment, she greeted him with a smile, and took Sheng Yang's arm.

"Your Highness has not come for a long time to avoid suspicion."

There is also a sense of resentment in the words.

Sheng Yang smiled relaxedly, "There are many eyes and ears in Beijing, it's really not easy for our sister-in-law to move around, especially that one who keeps staring at your mansion."

Then he entered the mansion.

The garden is full of spring, and the lunch has been prepared. Turning into the garden, it is extremely lively in the eyes. Many ministers salute her from a distance. She looks around, and most of them are from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites. The Secretary of Public Security is also among them. There is a person who is a little surprised.

"Your Highness."

Yun Fei received a gift from a military commander. Both the Yun family and the Wen family belonged to the Luozhou faction, and their ancestors were related by blood. Sheng Yang and the two Yun brothers often played together when they were young, so they can be regarded as childhood sweethearts.

"I heard that in the year when General Yun was appointed as the new head of the Security Department, the public security in Pingyang has been very good. After the curfew, not even a mouse dared to move on the street."

Some officials around laughed in agreement.

"His Royal Highness took the minister as a joke. Not half a month ago something major happened, which disturbed the Dali Temple and caused trouble to Lord Duan. I am ashamed."

Those who came today were all from the second prince's group, and they made no secret of teasing about this matter, but Duan Yuzhi didn't know how to feel when he heard it.

"It's not your fault, what does the Taifu think?"

All the officials' eyes were on Duan Yuzhi.

She sat down while talking, and Hu Azi poured her a glass of wine.

Grand Tutor Duan seemed to stare at the glass of wine in a daze for a moment, then said, "It's all a matter of my duty."

"Sister and Grand Tutor Duan are honored today, my mansion is really full of splendor."

The second prince walked in, his voice was loud, his face was reddish, he was not tall, he looked more like Emperor Zhao than Concubine Jing, and his eyes were slightly tigerish, quite majestic.

Hu Azi immediately stepped forward to serve her, the second prince did not hide his love for the side concubine at all, he grabbed her hand in front of everyone, and he seemed drunk before taking a sip of the wine.

"Aifei, ask the servants to serve you, and you sit down to eat and drink."

Hu Azi blushed slightly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Everyone tacitly drank in silence.

This Hu Azi is just the niece of Hu Luan, the magistrate of Beiguan County. Both of her parents died, and she was raised outside the residence since she was a child.Hu Luan belonged to the prince's faction, and went to Pingyang to report on his duties three years ago. Hu Luan had no children, so he brought his niece who had not yet left the cabinet.She is not bad in appearance, but also gentle and timid. If she is lucky enough to have the mercy of the master in the house, it is not in vain to raise her.Unexpectedly, they encountered mountain bandits during their trip, and the uncle and nephew almost died. Fortunately, they were rescued by the security department, and the person in charge of the security department at that time was the second prince.

It is said that the second prince fell in love with Hu Azi at first sight. It is reasonable to say that the county magistrate's niece is far from being the prince's side concubine. The second prince argued hard in front of the Holy Master, and even alarmed his mother and concubine who had been fighting for many years to be a lobbyist. Only then did the Holy Majesty let go, and he allowed her to marry in the name of the daughter of his other uncle, Luozhou prefect Hu Yuan, and reluctantly became a side concubine.

"Sister-in-law is very lucky. Second brother really loves sister-in-law."

"Sister, sincerity is hard to come by. My sister is so nice, so I will meet you in the end."

Sheng Yang felt a little unhappy suddenly, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, his eyes glanced at Duan Yuzhi.

Duan Yuzhi seldom participated in this kind of private banquet. He finally came. How could these ministers let him go? They have already surrounded him, and he didn't say much. He drank as soon as someone respected him, drinking one cup at a time. , but a good drinker.

She looked at the second prince and Hu Azilang's concubine love, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She drank five cups in a daze, and she was already a little drunk. The first thing to do today is to see Hu Azi. There's no reason to sit here wasting time,

She glanced at Hu Azi, and Hu Azi walked over from the side of the second prince.

"Is Your Highness leaving?" She followed Sheng Yang's raised hand to support her, and bid farewell to the second prince and all the officials on her behalf.

Out of the yard, with the breeze blowing on his face, Sheng Yang was a little sober, shook Hu Azi's hand, his eyes were a little bit cold, and he said in a low voice, "Don't pay the wrong man with your sincerity."

Hu Azi's heart trembled, as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her. Although she supported Sheng Yang, her heart drifted away, and she sent Sheng Yang to the door like a puppet. Seeing her get into the carriage, the night wind blew hard , she was relieved.

Sheng Yang slightly supported his forehead and sat in the carriage, recalling the time when he first met Hu Azi, he had a headache.

Suddenly a light came in, someone lifted the curtain, she squinted slightly, and a tall figure entered the carriage.

"Your Highness, Taifu Duan must ride back to the residence with you. He said he was on the way, but the little one didn't stop him."

Wen Ming's helpless voice came in.

After drinking, the two of them reacted a little slower than usual. They were both taken aback. Duan Yuzhi put down the curtain and sat beside Sheng Yang.

"Sit over!"

His mature man's smell accompanied by the smell of wine permeated wantonly in this narrow carriage, suppressing her so much that she couldn't breathe, Sheng Yang suddenly became dizzy, this carriage is so big, does he have to sit beside him?

"It smells like alcohol! It stinks!"

Sheng Yang pushed him away, unaware that there was a hint of coquettishness in his voice, but Duan Yuzhi's voice suddenly sounded like a hook, making him want to cling to her even more, and his body became hot and unbearable.

"You smell like alcohol too, do you dislike me?"

"You're just hitting back, rascal!"

"I've always been a rascal. Others don't know about it, but Your Highness should know it best."

He grabbed Sheng Yang's hand suddenly and squeezed it tightly.

"Since you think it's a rascal, let's be a rascal to the end. Your Highness can punish me for a big crime of disrespect. It's best to behead me in the street."

"Crazy! Wen Ming! Wen Ming! Get him out!"

Wen Ming only drove the carriage and turned a deaf ear.

Sheng Yang scolded Wen Ming in his heart for being a picky eater. He struggled with his hands. He used to be a martial arts practitioner, and he squeezed her tightly. How could she struggle? She gradually lost her strength. She simply accepted her fate and was held by him like this. Leaning on the carriage with eyes closed will keep you healthy.

It was dark inside the carriage, and I couldn't see the moonlight outside clearly. The moonlight was clear, but inside the carriage, there was only tenderness left.

Wen Ming chased the moonlight on the road, thinking in his heart that there was a lot of noise in the car just now, and the car was almost overturned, but now he seemed to be tired, and there was no movement for a long time.

Rong Yue's slender hands were wrapped by Duan Yuzhi's hot hands. He had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he had done everything. The calluses on his palms were so heavy that even after so many years of living as a master, he couldn't smooth them out.

She unconsciously rubbed the calluses on his hands carefully, which reminded her of rubbing her brother holding her hand when she was a child.

Duan Yuzhi stared straight at her, his heart was more itchy than his hands, he felt that the jade hands in his palms were soft and delicate, held by him as if they had no bones, they were much more obedient than her master, his heart was full of ripples, low Said, "Don't provoke them, I know what you want, I will do it, trust me, okay?"

He was very close to Rongyue, and the gas he breathed out while speaking entered her ears, it was very itchy, she moved her hands restlessly, but she didn't reply.
