Descendants of Pangu in the Great Desolation

Chapter 18 Cousin Yu Xin
After returning to the room to wash my face and change into clean clothes, I followed Axiu and walked towards Xinmengju, which is located on the south side of the palace.Xinmengju used to be Yu Xin's temporary residence in the Wangfu, but since she left the Wangfu and returned to Shangshufu, Xinmengju has been free, but every time Yu Xin enters the mansion, she will live in Xinmengju, so Xinmengju is convenient. Been idle.As soon as I arrived outside Xinmengju, I heard bursts of women's silver bell-like laughter coming from inside, and the laughter was mixed with a man's thick voice.

Pushing open the half-closed door, I saw a graceful young girl in pink brocade and a young man wearing a green jade crown and a blue gown sitting in the room chatting. I smile like a blooming peony.Immediately, I threw myself into her arms and said, "Cousin Xin, I haven't come to the palace to see me for a long time."

Yu Xin looked at me for a long time, then turned to Situ Jing who was beside her and asked, "Hai'er, why are you still so thin? Jing, do you always grab Haier's food?" Situ Jing heard Yu Xin say that Blushing instantly climbed to the face and hurriedly defended: "No way, Xin don't talk nonsense. Wasn't it just a year ago that I ate the plate of mint cake you brought to Hai'er? I still remember it, it's too stingy. "Yu Xin looked at Situ Jing, whose face was slightly red, and felt that this young cousin was quite cute, so she smiled and said, "Will I be so stingy? Just tell me why you are nervous? I know you are too. It hurts Haier very much."

Seeing Situ Jing who was sitting on the side being molested by Yu Xin, I couldn't help explaining it to him: "Cousin Xin, Brother Jing loves me very much, so why would he steal my food? Don't wrong him." Yu Xin saw that I was acting for Situ Jing argued, pinched my cheek and said: "Of course I know he loves you, but you have not developed well anyway, every time I see you, you look like this bean sprouts, no matter what, I have to let me marry you again." See you grow some flesh. Don't you, the red-faced ghost sitting over there?" After Yu Xin finished speaking, she glanced at Situ Jing, who had a cinnabar face.

"Xin, I won't tell you anymore, I have to go ahead, let Hai'er accompany you." Yu Xin's words made Situ Jing's face even more rosy, and she stood up and left as if fleeing for her life after saying a few words casually Room.Yu Xin saw Situ Jing fleeing the room in a panic, with a sinister smile on the corner of her mouth, she continued to torture my cheeks, and said, "Hai'er, look at how cute your elder brother Jing is blushing." I looked at Situ Jing The distant figure said: "Cousin Xin laughed at Brother Jing as soon as she saw him, Cousin Xin is good or bad." Yu Xin seemed to play tricks on Situ Jing every time she entered the mansion, which made him blush every time and finally fled in panic.

Seeing me say that to her, Yu Xin squinted her almond-shaped eyes and pinched my cheeks with her hands, shaking them left and right, and said while pulling, "Okay, you actually called me bad, and see how I deal with you." My cheeks were covered by her It hurt so much, I yelled: "It hurts, let go, sister Axiu, save me" But no matter how I yelled, Axiu on the side remained indifferent, and even laughed softly with her mouth open.When I finally recognized the situation, my cheeks were as red as an apple.

During dinner, I asked Yu Xin who was sitting next to me: "Cousin Xin, you said before that you were going to get married, was it true?" The mother sitting opposite said: "Yes, your cousin Xin has half a year to marry. I'm going to get married." I asked my mother, "That's May next year, and it's a good time to get married, I wonder which family's son is so lucky to marry cousin Xin?" You must know Yu Xin As the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the Yun Dynasty, and she looks dignified and generous, there is an endless stream of people who propose marriage, but she doesn't like them, or she is already in her prime and hasn't married yet. .

Listening to me asking about the groom, Situ Jing on the side interjected: "The groom is not an outsider, he is your cousin Rui's current second prince." I said to myself: "Cousin Rui, is that cousin Xin? Does it count as marrying into our family?" The current second prince, Situ Rui, is not only handsome, but also proficient in all aspects of literature, martial arts and martial arts.I heard that he is still the most popular candidate for the crown prince nowadays, but you can't go out and talk about it, but you will be beheaded, but it's okay to talk about it in private, as long as your father doesn't know, otherwise you will be taught a lesson.

Dad didn't forget to teach me a lesson when he was talking about dinner. He looked at me and said, "That's right, your cousin Xin will be the second concubine in the future. When we meet again in the future, you can't be as ignorant of the rules as you are now." There are too many rules in the world, and there are even more rules in the palace, not to mention the palace, so until now, apart from looking for my cousin, the seventh prince, Situ Jie, I will not easily enter the palace with my mother or father. I can't stand that. The cumbersome rules make my head hurt when I think about them.

The birth mother of the seventh prince, Situ Jie, is named Qin Lan, who was brought back to the palace by the emperor when he was traveling in micro-clothes.The emperor loved her very much and wanted to make her a noble concubine, but the ministers of the court jointly named her on the grounds that Concubine Lan came from a poor family. The emperor had no choice but to confer a noble person on her. The prince Situ Jie, the emperor took advantage of the opportunity to make her his concubine.Concubine Lan fell ill and passed away when Situ Jie was three years old. After Concubine Lan passed away, the emperor put all his love for Concubine Lan on Situ Jie, but the emperor dared not show this love, he could only love silently.

Since Situ Hai was weak since he was a child, he did not enter the palace to study with his cousins, so he was not close to them.I accidentally met Situ Jie when he entered the palace with King Ping. Since the two were of the same age and became very close after getting along, Situ Hai would let Situ Jing take him into the palace to play with Situ Jie from time to time.In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, I would go into the palace from time to time to find this seventh prince who is two years younger than Situ Hai. Maybe Situ Jie is still too young to have doubts about me, thinking that I am still the one who is always sick Brother Hai, I can only enjoy a short period of relaxation without wearing a hypocritical mask in front of him.

The empress is the most powerful person besides the emperor, so I can do whatever I want in the future, hehe... a little starlight appeared in my eyes involuntarily. "Prince concubine, if Cousin Rui succeeds to the throne and becomes Cousin Xin of the Emperor, he will become the mother of the world..." Dad hurriedly interrupted me, and said with a bit of sternness: "Haier, don't talk nonsense , Now that the emperor is healthy and upright, how could there be a prince succeeding to the throne."

In the system of the Yun Dynasty, only the heirs born to the empress have the right to inherit the throne. The princes born to other empresses in the harem, if they have some skills, can be worshiped by officials and become princes with real power; but if they only know how to have fun, If you are idle all day long, at most you will have the title of a prince, and you will just have a dry addiction.Today, only the second prince Situ Rui and the sixth prince Situ Xian are the only ones who can be crowned princes.It's just that the sixth prince is only 14 years old, and he has not shown extraordinary intelligence, so no ministers in the court and central government will look up to him at all.The position of crown prince is already in the pocket of the second prince, Situ Rui, and he is only waiting for the emperor's canonization.However, recently the emperor has always revealed intentionally or unintentionally that the candidate for the prince must have the five virtues of propriety, trustworthiness, benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, and five virtues. If the emperor chooses the prince with the five virtues, the second prince Situ Rui will have two more competitors.One is the eldest prince Situ Ji, born to Concubine Yan Gui, and the other is Situ Ao, the fourth prince born to Concubine Rong.At the same time, the ministers of the DPRK and China also formed three parties: one is the Zhiji faction headed by the eldest prince and his grandfather Yan Yin, a cabinet scholar, and his uncle Hubu Shangshu Yan Fei; the other is headed by the second prince and his uncle You Chengxiang Sun Lu The Zhirui faction; the last one is the Chiao faction headed by the fourth prince and his uncle Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Rong Lie, while the left prime minister Li Ze, the Minister of Industry Shan Hui, the Minister of Rites Wang Ji, and the uncle of the Ministry of Officials Yu Hua all remained neutral.The marriage between Yu Xin and the second prince, Situ Rui, showed that her uncle had already favored the Chirui sect, which brought the second prince one step closer to being crowned prince.

Half a month later, it was reported in the capital that the second prince was about to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and then the officials of the Manchu Dynasty were ready to move.The three residences of Zuo Prime Minister Li, Lord Shan of the Ministry of Industry, and Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites are often visited by colleagues from the court and China. The prince's mansion is also full of people, and even the father who has already stated that he will not help any party as the Minister of the Ministry of War is often physically and mentally exhausted by the visiting colleagues.But these things have nothing to do with me at all, and I don't need to worry about it as a yellow-mouthed child. I still practice the exercises according to the master's teaching every day, and occasionally lure Xiaoyou and Xu Lu to escape from the palace to play.

A month later, the master came to the palace to check my merits and deeds, and found that during the four months when the master was not there, I had passed the early stage of foundation establishment and entered the late stage of foundation establishment, and the master was puzzled.You must know that it takes at least one year for ordinary people to go from the early stage of foundation establishment to the late stage of foundation establishment, but I only spent four short months. Master praised me as a genius in cultivation and rewarded me with a condensed gemstone newly refined by master. jade pill.This Ningyu Pill is made from 36 [-] medicinal materials collected by the master, and refined from the hundred-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus. One pill can make me go from the late stage of foundation building to the early stage of agility.

In fact, I can't be called a genius in practice. It was all due to the broken jade I bought at the temple fair that day that made me go from the early stage of foundation establishment to the late stage of foundation establishment so quickly.When I took out the broken jade that day, I sensed a hint of agility from it, just like the spar that the master told me can improve the skills in a short time, so I bought them all without hesitation, and then studied with Xiaoyou Only then did I find out that my feelings are not bad, these broken jade are crystal stones.However, these are broken crystals, which should be rolled down the mountain when practitioners collect them. Because of their hard texture and bright color, they are considered broken jade by the local people, and they can be sold to supplement their household expenses.

I distributed the broken jade pieces I bought to Xiaoyou five to help him improve his practice, and I used the rest to practice exercises, leaving only one piece of broken jade with a dark green color and a round texture. I plan to celebrate Xu Lu’s birthday At that time, he made a hairpin and sent it to him as a gift for binding his hair.At that time, let him wear the jasper hairpin I gave him, wear a blue gown, walk on the streets of the capital with his already handsome appearance, and he will surely charm a large number of girls.As long as he has someone he admires, I will let my father make the decision to make him return to his freedom and live happily with the person he admires, and it is not in vain for us to know each other.
