The emperor broke the contract again today

Chapter 4 Undercurrent
Yun Xiyan was startled by the sudden voice, quickly grabbed a stick thrown by the servants at the gate of the courtyard, jumped and shouted, "Who is playing tricks there? Come out."

From the shadow under the tree at the gate of the courtyard, a person slowly walked out, wearing a royal blue gown, under the silver moonlight, the brocade material was as blue as Jingchuan Mingbo, and two deep lake-like eyes were looking at her with unknown meaning.

It was Yun Xiyan's second elder brother, Yun Chuchen. In his memory, the two of them didn't seem to have much intersection. Yun Xiyan raised her eyebrows. She was about to settle accounts with him, so he came here by himself. Should he be self-aware? ?
"Second Young Master is really in a good mood. It's a great honor for me to come to the small courtyard at this time."

Yun Chuchen didn't care about the obvious sarcasm in her words, and asked again, "Who are you?"

Yun Xiyan's heart tightened, she knew that her performance tonight was too different from the weak Yun Xiyan in the past, and she must have aroused his suspicion, but they would never think of such a thing as returning a soul from a dead body, it's settled Resting his mind, he asked back, "What nonsense is the Second Young Master talking about, I don't understand?"

"Yan Yan would never call me Second Young Master, let alone act so boldly in public." Yun Chuchen looked at her sharply.

The hands beside Yun Xiyan tightened slightly, "Hehe, how dare you act recklessly? I have already died once, and am I still afraid of that? Will I let the previous tragedies happen again? I told you from the moment I opened my eyes. Myself, from now on, no one will ever try to bully me again."

These words were resounding, and Yun Chuchen's eyes gradually softened. When he was born, the third wife almost died because of dystocia, so the third wife was unwilling to have him, and his father had no choice but to give him to the eldest lady to be raised, so He has always had a grudge against the third wife in his heart, even though he knew that they would suffer some grievances in Yunfu, he rarely interfered.Yun Xiyan's witty and courageous performance in the hall today was beyond his expectation, making him almost think it was someone else.

It's just that hearing these words now, I can't help but feel a little ashamed, after all, I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a brother.Sighing, he said in a deep voice, "You're blaming me for not helping you tonight, instead interceding for Chulan."

"I'm sorry for my mother. Even cats and dogs know to protect their parents, but what about you? Let Yun Chulan's mother and daughter and everyone in the house bully our mother and daughter. Even if it was wrong for mother not to want to raise you, she has gone through all kinds of hardships after all. She just gave birth to you, and even almost died because of it, she gave you life, her kindness is greater than the sky, but you are so rebellious and unfilial, you are in vain as a son, in vain as a brother." Yun Xiyan roared angrily, and in her memory She knew why Yun Chuchen wasn't close to them, but no matter what the reason was, she couldn't forgive Yun Chuchen for ignoring his mother's bullying.

"I admit that I made mistakes in the past." Yun Chuchen did not deny his past mistakes. After all, he was already a minister, and he was no longer young and energetic. It was for her own good to stop Yun Xiyan in the hall just now.

"Then you still..."

Yun Chuchen raised his hand and interrupted Yun Xiyan's rebuttal, "I know you blame me for helping Chulan, but this is the best result for tonight. When the emperor ascended the throne, there were various forces in the DPRK and China. In order to unite Yunqin Two powers, Chulan's grandfather reluctantly married his most beloved daughter to his father as a concubine, and now Prime Minister Yun and Qin Shangshu are born. Do you really think that father really doesn't know that Chulan is bullying you? Selfishly, he will not punish Chulan. Even if you force Chulan to confess her crime and force her father to punish her at the end of the night, Qin Shangshu will definitely be dissatisfied in the court. At that time, father will only vent his anger on you. Your life in Yunfu will be even more difficult."

Yun Xiyan understood that this was the reason, she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Chuchen, "Don't you worry, Dad will really beat me to death?"

The corners of Yun Chuchen's lips curled up, "It's well known that the fourth prince proposed marriage in the court, even if the emperor hasn't responded to the marriage, father will always take care of the fourth prince's face."

It was the fourth prince again, because of his marriage proposal, Yun Xiyan was pushed into the lake to death by Yun Chulan, and he came here.Since ancient times, there have been many scumbags in princes. She didn't want to marry a scumbag prince she didn't know for no reason when she first came here. She smiled dryly, and hurriedly called out affectionately, "Second brother, I was just looking for you for this matter."

"Why aren't you called Second Young Master?" Yun Chuchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her jokingly, then shook his head with a smile, "Tell me, what do you think?"

"Xiyan doesn't want to marry the fourth prince. Since the emperor hasn't expressed his opinion, it means that I still have a chance to get rid of this marriage. It's just that Xiyan is a woman who speaks lightly, so I want to ask my second brother to help Xiyan with this." Yun Xiyan Looking at Yun Chuchen sincerely, he said.

Yun Chuchen walked two steps on the spot with his hands behind his back, and after a long silence, he opened his mouth and said leisurely, "Marrying a prince is something that many women dream of. Even if the fourth prince is not as favored as the prince, he is still a prince. Your situation in Yunfu is not good. No, if you marry him, you will be rich and rich, and you won’t have to be wronged, so why don’t you want to? Is it also because of those rumors outside? "

"What rumors?" Yun Xiyan asked curiously, trying to search her memory for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything, so she just waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "I don't know what rumors are, it's just that princes have been defeated since ancient times."

Too bad she said what was in her heart. Seeing Yun Chuchen raised her eyebrows, she hurriedly changed her words and said bitterly, "Just like the Hou family, who is as deep as the sea, and Xi Yan is dull, I'm afraid that if I don't handle it properly, it will bring trouble to the Yun family. I don’t dare to extravagantly ask for the royal family, I only want to be able to marry an ordinary family in this life, get a confidant to accompany the white head, honor my parents and elder brothers, and hope that my second brother will be successful.”

After saying these words, Yun Chuchen's forehead straightened with a black line. It is true that she does not want to marry the fourth prince. As for the reason, if her tone can be more sincere, can her little eyes always secretly look at you? For himself, maybe he would be more willing to believe her theory of benevolence, righteousness, compassion and filial piety.

But looking into her big innocent eyes, he couldn't refuse, sighed and said: "This matter is far from as simple as you think, the emperor's health has been worse in recent years, even though there is a prince in the court, , but there are so many princes, at this time many people will inevitably have the idea that the huge power of the Yun family is enough to determine success or failure at certain times. The holy will is unpredictable, and now all eyes in the court are fixed on this marriage, trying to guess something from it. The second emperor's thoughts. No matter what the fourth prince's request for marriage is, you, as the daughter of the Yun family, have already been pulled into the limelight and cannot be avoided."

A few words vaguely revealed the undercurrent in the court at this moment. The battle for the throne has been the cruelest and most tragic war in each dynasty since ancient times. Waste, the princes ended up miserably, even the supporters behind them did not end well.

As the first family of Tianlan, the Yun family, with all the princes staring at it, is absolutely unavoidable in this turmoil.

This damned fourth prince, is he blind? Yun Chulan, who is in the limelight, chose her instead of choosing her. Yun Xiyan rushed over and hugged Yun Chuchen's arm and cried, "Second brother, are you sure?" You must help me, I really don't want to marry the fourth prince and become cannon fodder, woo woo..."

What a mess of cannon fodder, looking at Yun Xiyan who was pretending to cry and kept wiping her nose on his sleeve, Yun Chuchen couldn't laugh or cry, "The matter of the fourth prince is not in a hurry. The prince of Beimo will lead a visit in a few days. Now, it coincides with the scientific examination. The womb is busy these days, and the emperor will not put his mind on it for the time being. During the banquet in the palace, officials of the third rank and above will bring their children. I will follow my father to take you Go ahead, take a look at the fourth prince before making a conclusion."
