Houmen Yixiang

Chapter 333 Xiao Yichen's Killing Intent

As the empress dowager who loves Wu Zhen the most in the world, the empress dowager certainly hopes that Wu Zhen will have the most noble status as a woman in the world.

But the queen mother had to admit that Wu Zhen took the initiative to retreat, which is really high.

Mrs. Yan is Wu Zhen's cousin and aunt, she already loves Wu Zhen dearly.

If it wasn't for Princess Wu Zhen's status, and Yan Yulang was too good, Mrs. Yan would definitely be happy to see her success.

Now that Wu Zhen took the initiative to remove the obstacles in front of her, Madam Yan will definitely love her even more after being moved.

As for Yan Shangshu and the rest of the Yan family, Yan Yulang insisted on going his own way, regardless of the wishes of the rest of the Yan family, and insisted on marrying Wu Zhen.Make a promise face to face at the banquet, so that the Yan family has no room for repentance!

Yan Yulang, who originally thought that the Yan family had high hopes, will become a useless person who cannot be an official.Now Wu Zhen is willing to sacrifice herself and demote herself as princess to resolve the conflict between the Yan family and Yan Yulang.

What a surprise, surprise, and honor for the Yan family!

He is not a stranger in the first place, and he is sorry for Wu Zhen, so he will love Wu Zhen as much as pearls and treasures in the future.

Although the Empress Dowager's eyes were not working well, she could still see the excitement and disbelief on the faces of Yan Shangshu and Mrs. Yan.

"King Rui, what do you think of this matter?"

Wu Ruidao: "Chang'an and Mr. Yan are two people for each other, one is willing to give up the title of princess, and the other wants to be together regardless of wealth or honor. It is really a lovely story! I have no objection!"

"The decree of mourning the family, from now on Princess Chang'an will be demoted to Princess Chang'an, and she will enjoy the princess's salary! I will marry Yan Yulang, the strict mansion, and the Qin Tianjian will choose an auspicious day to get married. All the specifications of the wedding will be arranged according to the title of princess!"

"Thank you, Grandmother."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!" Yan Yulang was so excited that he almost jumped up and down, staring at Wu Zhen, "I will definitely live up to Princess Chang'an, if I do, I will let the Empress Dowager dispose of me!"

"From now on, let's call Chang'an the Ai Family Grandmother."

Yan Yulang said loudly: "Yes, Grandmother."

Mrs. Yan covered her face: Oh, this shameless person, the empress dowager will say it later!

The queen mother was amused by him, "Okay, you young people continue to play, and the Ai family will go back to rest first."

"Grandmother, Chang'an will take you back."

"No need, go and accompany that jade cousin of yours. King Rui, help Ai's family go back."

Wu Zhen's face became hot, "Grandmother."

The queen mother smiled heartily, patted her hand, and walked away with Wu Rui's support.

Seeing this, Yan Yulang hurried to Wu Tuzhen's side.

Wu Zhen deliberately went to Lu Xinyan's side first, "Thank you Zhuzhu."

"You don't need to thank me, it's because of your love than gold that you can get this result." Lu Xinyan is very satisfied with today's situation, "If you are greedy for the title of princess, and he is greedy for official career, there will be no such result."

She looked at Yan Yulang who was standing aside helplessly, and stood up tactfully, "Princess, no Princess, I'll go find Prince Xiao."

Wu Zhen hadn't seen her for a long time, and wanted to talk to her more.Now that Lu Xinyan said she was going to find Shizi Xiao, she couldn't stop her, so she gave Yan Yulang a hard look.

"Princess Princess." Yan Yulang looked pitiful and begged for favor.

Wu Zhen was angry and funny, "I can accompany you for a walk, but you are not allowed to touch your hands."

After Wu Zhen finished speaking, she blushed.

Yan Yulang nodded quickly, thinking that he was about to marry him, and there would be plenty of opportunities to make out in the future.

He is not in a hurry!
But the facts quickly proved that Yan Yulang overestimated himself.

With the one you love by your side, docile and shy, if you don't have bad intentions, is that still a man?

Yan Yulang endured and endured, and finally obeyed his wish and hugged Wu Zhen.

Wu Zhen was shocked, "Yan Yulang, you don't keep your word!"

"Hush, don't make a sound, people will see you!"

"Let go of me, uh~"

"Hiss, don't bite. People will know if you bite through!".
Tonight was Xiao Yichen's first official appearance after returning from Dongyuan's big victory.As soon as the Queen Mother and Wu Rui left, all the ministers surrounded him to congratulate him.

Lu Xinyan saw from a distance that he was surrounded by people.

Just as she was about to turn around to look for Yan Qingruo, she ran into Wu Sheng when she turned around.

She retreated subconsciously, "See the third prince."

"You don't have to be polite, cousin." Wu Sheng reached out to help Lu Xinyan, but she pushed back.

The hand that stopped in mid-air was naturally withdrawn, Wu Sheng was not at all embarrassed, "Speaking of which, I still owe my cousin an apology."

"Why did the third prince make such a statement?"

"I once thought of doing something about your elder brother's scientific research."

"Third prince, the human heart is very complicated. Any person will have countless thoughts every day, some good, some bad, some evil! But the biggest difference between us humans and beasts is that we humans know what is wrong and what is wrong. That's right. After thinking about it, I will let go of thoughts that I shouldn't have, and implement thoughts that conform to my identity and ideals."

Lu Xin Yan pointed out: "The third prince knew that he had a bad idea and didn't carry it out. There is nothing wrong with it. The third prince doesn't need to apologize."

"Biao sister-in-law seems to have misunderstood it." Wu Sheng smiled slightly, and his eyes unconsciously showed a sharp light. "It's not that I don't want to execute it, but my father did it first."

What Lu Xinyan said just now was obviously a step down for Wu Sheng, but at the same time secretly warned him not to have any thoughts that he shouldn't have.

Unexpectedly, Wu Sheng didn't appreciate it at all, and he didn't hide his original intention.

Lu Xinyan didn't know how to answer the words for a while, Wu Sheng continued: "But don't worry, my cousin, this cheating case in the scientific examination has already taken shape. In two days, I will definitely return your brother's innocence."

"Thank you, Third Prince." After Lu Xinyan thanked her, she was about to leave.

Wu Sheng changed the subject, "Biao sister-in-law, you know that I admire your elder brother very much, why are you planning to make things difficult for him in the scientific examination?"

"Third prince's thoughts, I don't dare and don't want to speculate." Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, "Third prince, I'm going to find Shizi Xiao, please do what you want."

Wu Sheng stretched out his hand to stop her from letting her go, and said aggressively: "Biao sister-in-law has guessed it in her heart."

Although there were not many people in their position, it would be fine if they just had an ordinary conversation, but Wu Sheng's reaching out drew a lot of strange looks.

Lu Xinyan held back her anger, "I only have my husband Xiao Shizi in my heart, and I am only interested in what he thinks! As for other people's thoughts, I have no interest in knowing!"

"Biao sister-in-law is really heartless." Wu Sheng smiled, "I wouldn't be interested in talking about it to others."

"Zhuzhu!" A clear voice interrupted Wu Sheng's words.

Before Lu Xinyan turned her head, she was hugged by a familiar arm.

"Three princes."

Wu Sheng looked at the possessive arm around Lu Xinyan's waist, his eyes flickered, and he cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xiao."

Xiao Yichen nodded to signal, the glazed eyes reflected a cold light under the light of Qingfeng Palace.

However, when he looked at Lu Xinyan in his arms, it instantly turned into a tender and affectionate feeling.

"Why are you here? Don't move around with a big belly, just let someone call me if you want to see me."

Lu Xinyan smiled back, "I want to see you soon."

The two didn't speak much, but the frowns and smiles, and the lingering eyes that looked at each other showed the intimacy, familiarity, and heart-to-heart bond between the two.

From the moment I saw the other party, there was no other place in my eyes.

Wu Sheng clenched his fist tightly, "Cousin Xiao, cousin sister-in-law, leave."

He had walked a long way, and when he turned his head to look at Lu Xinyan and Xiao Yichen, there was still only a piercing sweetness between them.

Wu Sheng was stabbed in the heart, he flicked his sleeves and left.

"Zhuzhu, stay away from the third prince in the future."

Lu Xinyan deliberately said: "Why? He is your cousin."

"He has bad intentions for you." Xiao Yichen said bluntly, "I can feel it, I don't want you to get close to him."

"Okay, listen to you, stay away from him in the future."

Seeing her so docile, Xiao Yichen's eyes were about to overflow with tenderness, "It's getting late, let's go out of the palace."

"Ah."

-

On the first day of October, the imperial court announced the reasons for the cheating case in the scientific examination.

When another assistant examiner was collecting the test papers, he secretly put away the test papers of Lu Ziyi and Liu Han, and also took the test papers of [-] other students who had been bought long ago.

Then after copying overnight, the copied test papers were mixed with everyone's test papers.

This kind of cheating actually has a lot of loopholes and is not easy to succeed, but because Emperor Longde instructed behind it, everything went smoothly.

After Wu Rui and Wu Sheng found out the reason, they put the deputy examiner, the twenty students and related persons into prison, waiting to be punished.

At the same time, it was announced that the results of the scientific examination were valid. Both Lu Ziyi and Liu Han came out on top, and together with all the other high school students, they took the palace examination on the fifth day of October.

The dark clouds that weighed down on Zhen Guogong's mansion and Ankangbo's mansion finally dissipated.

When Liu Han came back that day, Xiao Yan ordered someone to set up a banquet to celebrate Liu Han being cleared of his grievances and being named on the gold list.

This is the first time in so many years that Xiao Yan has voluntarily acknowledged Liu Han's existence.

Liu Han was overwhelmed by the flattery, Jiang's expression was indifferent on the surface, but it was unknown what he was thinking in his heart.

After telling the truth about the past that day, Xiao Yan and Jiang Shi still maintained the previous mode of getting along on the surface, living their own lives.

But in Lu Xinyan's view, when the two saw each other or mentioned each other, the hostility in their eyes faded a lot.

About all began to try to forget the previous things and start a new life.

As for when the two can reconcile, it depends on time.

The relationship between Xiao Yichen and Jiang Shi has improved a lot, but the two have been estranged for many years, Xiao Yichen is cold-tempered and a man, on the surface it seems that there is not much change.

But this was enough to make Jiang smile a lot more.

The atmosphere at the banquet at night was much more lively than before, and it looked more like an ordinary and harmonious family than before.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Yan said: "Zhuzhu, tomorrow is your birthday, this is your first birthday when you marry into the Duke of Zhen's residence, how do you plan to celebrate it?"

"Is it your birthday tomorrow?" Jiang asked in surprise, and then apologized, "I don't even know."

"I don't blame Aniang, I didn't tell you." Lu Xinyan said with a smile: "I have agreed with Xiao Shizi, tomorrow I will set up an automatic barbecue and hot pot in the garden, and everyone will be lively together."

She and Xiao Yichen changed their name to Auntie Jiang now.To show closeness.

"Could it be simpler? Princess Chang'an, Prince Rui's son, Madam Hou of Guangping, brothers and sisters of the Yan family, your eldest brother, they all have to come over."

"It was proposed by the Princess and Qing Ruo." Lu Xinyan said, "Please join me tomorrow, my parents and my cousins."

On Lu Xinyan's birthday last time, she didn't know Wu Zhen and Yan Qingruo well.

This year, I heard that she was going to celebrate her birthday, so she insisted on coming, and even ordered barbecue and hot pot.

Xiao Yan was also very curious about barbecue and hot pot, so he nodded in response to Lu Xinyan's words.

-

From the early morning of the next day, the kitchen of Zhen Guogong's mansion and the small kitchen of Yuexin Courtyard were busy.

In order to ensure the freshness of the ingredients, except for some meat that needs to be marinated overnight to taste, all vegetables, fruits and other ingredients are prepared today.

On Xiaohe's birthday last year, she was in the palace because of the Huayi Festival, and she spent it with Lu Xinyan after she came back.

This year because of the cheating case in the scientific examination, Xiao He's birthday was unintentionally celebrated, so it was postponed to celebrate it with Lu Xinyan.

Xiao He was overjoyed and ordered the same cake as last year's birthday.

Lu Xinyan was pregnant and couldn't work hard, so she handed over this matter to Madam Cheng.

"This year's cake is not allowed to be wasted!" Lu Xinyan warned everyone in Yuexin Academy in advance, "And this time there will be Princess Chang'an and the others, so don't mess around."

Qingtong responded happily.

It is good to say, but what will happen in reality, we will only know when the time comes.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Xiao Yichen said.

He actually wanted to spend time with Lu Xinyan alone, but his wife was too popular, Wu Zhen, Yan Qingruo and Ah Zhu had already said that they wanted to spend time together.

Before the time came, the guests came one after another.

"Zhuzhu, can we start?" Yan Qingruo was eager to try.

Ever since she heard about barbecue, she has always wanted to try it, but unfortunately she never had the chance.

"Qing Ruo, it's time now." The barbecue started at nine o'clock in the morning, so I was too impatient.

"It's okay, I ate less in the morning and I'm starting to get hungry."

This reason is irrefutable.

The guest said she was hungry, so she couldn't let her be hungry.

Lu Xinyan asked people to quickly place all the barbecue items in the open space in the garden.

Yan Qingruo saw the barbecue for the first time, and when he saw the fire emerging from the barbecue platform, his eyes widened, "Just burn it on the fire like this?"

"Xiao He, please demonstrate."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiao He happily took two skewers of marinated pork belly and chicken wings, and put them on the rack to roast.

The pork belly is cooked quickly, and the little lotus is sprinkled with a little green onion, garlic and chili powder, and the aroma will overflow after a while.

She handed one of them to Yan Qingruo, "Miss Yan, try my skills."

Yan Qingruo swallowed, took it and put it in her mouth unceremoniously.

"Be careful of the heat."

"Wow! It's so hot! Wow! It's delicious!" Yan Qingruo yelled, and after eating, she dragged Xiao He to the barbecue booth, "Quick, teach me to bake! I want to bake it for Brother Yi!"

Yan Yulang who just arrived: "Damn girl, turn your elbows out!"I don't think about your big brother even if there are good things!
Then he pulled the corners of his mouth to the sides, showing a big smile, and smiled at Wu Zhen next to him, "Ah Zhen, what do you want to eat, I'll bake it for you!"

Wu Zhen had the gentleness of a little girl on her face, "Let's skewer the meat, I think Qing Ruo just said it's delicious."

"Okay!" Yan Yulang got the order and ran towards Yan Qingruo in a hurry.

"The relationship is going well." Lu Xinyan winked at her.

Wu Zhen's face became hot, and she generously admitted, "It's okay."

At this time, Yun Shi held Xiao Huahua and brought Gong Xiaodong and Gong Qian to come.

As soon as the two little girls smelled the fragrance, their eyes straightened, and before they even had time to say hello, Gong Xiaodong directly dragged Gong Qian to the barbecue.

Surrounded by Xiao He who was having a good time roasting, sisters Xiao He and Sister Xiao He kept yelling.

Xiao He was amused and laughed, and generously shared the baked food with them, and shared the grilling skills.

"Xiaodong, Qian'er! Don't be so rude!" Yun shouted with a headache.

In the past, Gong Qian was well-behaved and obedient, but after being with Gong Xiaodong for more than half a year, she was completely led astray.

"Aunt Yun, it's fine, and there are no outsiders, let them do as they please." Lu Xinyan stopped her, and the little flower in her arms attracted all her attention.

Xiaohuahua is almost five months old, and it's time to be cute and cute.

Yun's family has experience in raising children, and Xiao Huahua takes good care of her. Not to mention she is chubby, she laughs at everyone, which melts everyone's hearts.

"If only I could have a daughter like Xiao Huahua." Lu Xinyan said enviously, rubbing her stomach.

"You and uncle look so good, the child you will have will be better looking than the boy next to Guanyin!"

It stands to reason that most people in this era hope that their first child will be a boy who can carry on the family line.

When others bless, they are also talking about the future young master and young prince.

But Yun didn't say that.

Because before coming, Feng Shi specially analyzed the current situation with her.

The current situation in the town government is very delicate.

Now in the court, those who support Wu Rui and Wu Sheng's ascension to the throne are divided into two factions.

The Duke of Zhen's government is not easy to express their opinion, because Wu Sheng is Xiao Yichen's cousin, and Ah Zhu is Lu Xinyan's half-brother.

Although not much is known about the relationship between the two, once Lin Ruyue is found, it will be exposed to the public sooner or later.

Ah Zhu is not in good health, no one can say how long she will live in the future and whether she will have offspring.

If Lu Xinyan gave birth to a young son, even if the people in Zhen Guogong's mansion didn't think much, the people who followed them might not think too much.

Therefore, Feng secretly hoped that it would be better for Lu Xinyan to give birth to a daughter. Anyway, she is still young, and there will be more time to give birth to a small son.

What she thought was exactly what Lu Xinyan thought.

"Hahaha, thank you, Aunt Yun Jiyan."

Xiao Huahua looked at Lu Xinyan and smiled, and giggled too.

"Sister!" Ah Zhu cheered from the entrance of the garden.

Azhu was very excited to finally be able to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion in a legitimate way.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to stay at the Zhen Guogong's mansion, but Wu Rui had seen through him long ago and warned him to go back at night.

In order to prevent Ah Zhu from cheating, besides Qian Wan, he also sent two guards to follow him.

"Azhu." Lu Xinyan smiled and waved to him.

Xiao Yichen approached calmly.

When he came back and found out that Ah Zhu was a boy, Xiao Yichen's complexion turned dark for a long time.

As long as I think back to those scenes in Jianglin back then, I can't wait to hang Azhu up and beat him up, and then throw him far away.

It's a pity that Ah Zhu is Lu Xinyan's younger brother, so it's impossible to throw it away.

If you can't throw it, you can only defend it.

"Sister." Seeing Lu Xinyan, Ah Zhu began to complain, "Why did you leave so early on the second sister's birthday? I still wanted to talk to you that day, but when I went to find you, they all said I was gone."

As he said, he went out with his eyes to Xiao Yichen who was standing next to Lu Xinyan.

Hmph, those who robbed his sister are not good people!

Before Lu Xinyan could answer, Xiao Yichen said first: "Zhuzhu is pregnant with a child, so she can't stay up late."

Ah Zhu rolled her eyes at him, "It's not your fault! You still have the nerve to say it?"

Xiao Yichen: .
Was speechless.

It was rare for Lu Xinyan to see Xiao Yichen deflated, covering his mouth and giggling.After receiving a resentful glance from Xiao Yichen, he hurriedly coughed: "Ah Zhu, call someone."

Azhu pouted, with an expression of who is he and why are you calling him.

"Azhu!"

Lu Xinyan made a serious face on purpose, and Ah Zhu reluctantly called out, "Brother-in-law."

Xiao Yichen was very satisfied, "Good boy, brother-in-law, let's go over there and play."

The tone of talking to a child made Ah Zhu almost jump up in anger.

"Sister Zhuzhu, brother-in-law, try my grilled chicken wings!" Gong Xiaodong held up two skewers of grilled wings in honey sauce, and ran towards their position.

After seeing Ah Zhu, he widened his eyes, "Sister Zhuzhu, who is this beautiful young lady?"

Young lady?Before Lu Xinyan could react, Ah Zhu was furious, "Who is Miss Sister? I'm a man, a man!"

He is good-looking, because of his poor physical foundation, he developed late, and he is still at an indistinguishable age.

Although Ah Zhu dressed up as a little girl to hide her identity and approached Lu Xinyan, but if she was said to be a girl in men's clothes, he would be very angry.

As Ah Zhu, when she gets angry, she is full of aura and can scare many people.

Gong Xiaodong was not frightened at all, and said with bright eyes, "So it's my little brother! Wow, you look so good-looking! Can we be friends? My name is Gong Xiaodong, what's your name?"

Ah Zhu suddenly died down, "I"

Lu Xinyan introduced: "Xiaodong, this is Prince Rui's son."

Gong Xiaodong said generously: "Brother Shizi, I am Gong Xiaodong."

The current Gong Xiaodong still doesn't understand the difference between Prince Rui's son and her elder brother Guangping Hou Shizi.

Ah Zhu scratched her head, "Uh, Miss Gong."

"Brother Shizi, you can call me Xiaodong." Gong Xiaodong handed the chicken wings that were originally intended for Xiao Yichen to Azhu, "Please eat."

Reach out and don't hit the smiling face, Ah Zhu grew up alone, surrounded by rough men, how can she have any experience with little girls?
Gong Xiaodong was generous and not twitchy, so Azhu felt embarrassed and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Xiaodong."

His eyes lit up after taking a bite, "Xiaodong, it's delicious!"

"Hey, let's eat it! Come on, I'll teach you." Gong Xiaodong pulled Azhu's sleeve and led him to the barbecue while shouting, "Sister Qian, let me introduce you to a new one." friend!"

After all, Gong Qian grew up in an aristocratic family, and she couldn't escape the rules in her bones. She was surprised to see A Zhu at first, and then she blushed and wanted to avoid it.

Gong Xiaodong grabbed her, "Sister Qian, this is Brother Shizi. Brother Shizi, this is my sister Qian."

Gong Qian had no choice but to salute politely, "I have met the prince."

She had a good-looking appearance, and she looked cute and soft. Ah Zhu was even more at a loss, and quickly waved her hands, "You're welcome."

Gong Xiaodong was unaware of their unease, and was full of interest, learning and selling now, "Brother Shizi, what do you want to eat, I'll teach you how to bake it!"

Azhu breathed a sigh of relief, "What did you bake just now?"

Lu Xinyan looked at all this from a distance, with a smile on her lips, "It's true that one thing is one thing, Azhu, who is not afraid of anything, will have such a restrained side."

It seems that boys still have to play with girls occasionally.

After a while, Lu Ziyi came and just said a few words to Lu Xinyan before being dragged away by Yan Qingruo.

"Brother Yi, what do you want to eat, I'll bake it for you, it's delicious."

Lu Ziyi said uncomfortably: "Thank you Miss Yan, I can do it."

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Yan Qingruo said with a smile: "After eating the barbecue I baked, you will have to perform well in the fifth palace test. Let my grandfather take a good look at you, and our affairs will go much smoother then."

Lu Ziyi blushed:
Yan Yulang who happened to hear this: You are not ashamed, little girl!How can such words be said so easily?Men are all cheap, and they won't cherish what they get easily!It seems that he has to find an opportunity to teach her well!

Without realizing it, he also scolded himself.

The rewards from the palace came at noon, some from the Queen Mother, and some from Wu Sheng.

Wu Sheng was probably afraid that Lu Xinyan would not accept it, so he sent it along with the Queen Mother's reward.

He was unwilling to be reconciled to Lu Xinyan's ignorance, so he specially told the eunuch to tell the truth that among these rewards, there was a birthday gift he had prepared for Lu Xinyan.

What the Queen Mother rewarded was mixed with what Wu Sheng gave, and it was impossible to tell who gave it to whom.

It is impossible to find out and throw it away or return it!

Xiao Yichen's face was livid, his premonition was indeed right!His good cousin actually misses his wife!
Lu Xinyan also had a headache, "Nurse Lu, make a booklet of these rewards and put them in the warehouse to seal."

Out of sight out of mind.

After hearing this, Xiao Yichen looked better, but his heart was still sulking.

Lu Xinyan took his arm to comfort him, "Xiao Shizi, don't be angry, I will feel bad when you are angry."

"Well, I'm not angry." It's strange not to be angry! "It has nothing to do with you."

Who can blame the daughter-in-law for being too good?

"In the future, if I can not enter the palace, I will definitely not enter the palace!" Lu Xinyan stated.

The Empress Dowager is not in good health, she will not easily summon outsiders, as long as Wu Zhen doesn't look for her, she can hardly enter the palace for several years.

Xiao Yichen responded, but the worry in his heart couldn't go away.

Lu Xinyan doesn't need to enter the palace, but Wu Sheng can leave the palace.

But all that is beside the point right now.

The point is, if Wu Sheng becomes emperor in the future
After Xiao Yichen came back, he didn't have much contact with Wu Sheng, but he clearly felt that Wu Sheng had changed, he was no longer the simple and cheerful boy he used to be.

He became deep, gloomy, moody and angry, and there was an imperceptible hostility and paranoia between his eyebrows and eyes.

This is a good change for a person who may become the next emperor.

But if he had Lu Xinyan in his heart, it would be a hidden disaster for anyone.

After sending away the eunuchs who came to give gifts, Xiao Yan, Jiang Shi, Liu Han, Jiang Mengyao, and Uncle Luaoyue Tian who came here specially also joined the barbecue camp.

There were laughter and laughter in the garden, and the fragrance was overflowing, and the whole sky of Zhen Guogong Mansion was filled with the smell of barbecue.

Xiao He and Little Monkey, Uncle Yue Tian, ​​Xiao Yan Jiang Shi, Yan Qingruo Lu Ziyi, Wu Zhen Yan Yulang, A Zhu Gong Xiao Dong Gong Qian.
One by one in pairs, it makes people happy to see them.

"Xiao Shizi," Lu Xinyan put her arms around Xiao Yichen's waist, she knew what he was worried about, "There is always a solution to everything."

I ate barbecue at noon, and made hot pot with the remaining barbecue ingredients in the afternoon.

Spicy pot, clear soup pot, mandarin duck pot, hot and sour pot
Everyone ate so full that they didn't want to leave.

Especially Ah Zhu, who desperately refused to leave, and was forcibly carried away by two guards.

"It's finally quiet." Xiao Yichen said.

Finally, I can live with my wife and son.

After washing up, he was about to go to bed and whisper to his wife with his arms around him, when Xing Luo outside suddenly knocked on the door, "Miss, Uncle, someone sent a letter."

On such a day and at this time, if it wasn't an urgent matter, Xing Luo wouldn't bother her so blindly.

"Bring it in."

Xing Luo pushed the door open with his head down, handed the letter to Lu Xinyan, and left quickly.

Lu Xinyan unfolded the letter and handed it to Xiao Yichen after reading it.

The letter was written by Gongsun Mobai.

The letter said that the eldest prince had been collecting strange people and strangers from all over Tianwu before, and before he made an incident, he had spent three years finding an expert Miao Qiu who was good at raising Gu from the Miao nationality.

At that time, the expert had some personal grievances to settle, and he agreed to come to Beijing to join the First Prince as soon as the matter was resolved.

Now Miao Qiu has come to the capital, and was secretly drawn by Su Zi.

"Gu?" Lu Xinyan had heard of this thing in many novels in modern times, and she said it in a mysterious way, but she didn't know if it was really so powerful.

Xiao Yichen frowned, he had never seen Gu before, but he had heard many frightening rumors in Jianghu.

There are rumors that Gu was used to control people's hearts, some were made to eat up internal organs by Gu, and there were even rumors that Gu was nourished by the body of a living person.

The more he thought about it, the heavier his complexion became.

Lu Xinyan's heart skipped a beat, "Have you seen Gu?"

Those descendants were too terrifying, Xiao Yichen was afraid of scaring Lu Xinyan and the child in her stomach, so he simply said: "It's very domineering and powerful, it's hard to guard against. Zhuzhu, ask Bai Zhi tomorrow if there is any anti-gu medicine."

"Why don't you ask now." Xiao Yichen's complexion was obviously wrong, Lu Xinyan didn't want to wait until tomorrow.

Xiao Yichen did not refuse, Lu Xinyan asked Nanny Lu to call Bai Zhi over.

Bai Zhi came quickly, "Miss, Uncle, what's the matter?"

Lu Xinyan handed Gongsun Mobai's letter to her, "Do you know Gu?"

After reading the letter, Bai Zhi's face was solemn, "I heard from my father that the conditions for raising Gu are extremely harsh, and if you are not careful, you may be backlashed. So there are not many people who really raise Gu in this world, and those who are good at raising Gu There are fewer people. If you encounter an unfortunate encounter, don’t think about head-to-head or luck, just find a way to escape.”

"This Miao Qiu is a rare person who is very good at raising Gu."

The person Wuyuan specially recruits, Gongsun Mobai specially writes a letter, is it an ordinary person?
Although Lu Xinyan was prepared, she was still shocked.

"Then what can you do about it?"

"Gu worms are extremely difficult to see, even Father rarely sees them, let alone deal with them." Bai Zhi shook her head, "I'll go to the palace tomorrow and discuss it with Father."

"You are not in good health, I'll ask someone to invite your father over." Lu Xinyan said: "For such a big matter, Xiao Shizi and I also want to hear your father's opinion."

Bai Zhi nodded, "Miss and Uncle rest early, I'll go down first."

The two people who originally wanted to be tender and affectionate, now feel heavy and lose interest.

Now that Wu Sheng and Su Zi are in collusion, Su Zi owns Miao Qiu, which means Wu Sheng owns Miao Qiu.

In Xiao Yichen's view, Wu Sheng's biggest obsession now is not the throne, but Lu Xinyan.

He hugged her tightly, "I won't let anything happen to you."

"Don't worry, Doctor Bai and Bai Zhi will figure out a way." Lu Xinyan could only comfort her in this way.

"If he really dares to attack you." Murderous intent appeared in Xiao Yichen's eyes, the corners of his eyes were stained with scarlet, and his heart gradually became cold and hard.

He will definitely kill Wu Sheng with his own hands without mercy!
Even if he is charged with the crime of conspiracy, he will not hesitate!

-

In the evening, an exquisite small house outside the palace.

"Third Prince, this is everyone Miao Qiu Miao." Su Zi pointed to a black and thin woman in black alien clothes.

Before Wu Sheng came, he had already received a letter from Su Zi, saying that he would introduce an expert.

But I didn't expect it to be such a strange-looking black and thin woman.

"I've seen the third prince." Miao Chou was about 40 years old, with an expressionless face, a hoarse voice like a man, and a pair of dark and cold eyes, like a poisonous snake.

"You don't need to be too polite, Miao." Although Wu Sheng was suspicious in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

Miao Qiu saw through his thoughts at a glance, and curled his lips into a terrifying and cold smile, "The third prince doesn't seem to have much faith in my ability, why don't you let me show you my ability?"

"It's not that this prince doesn't believe in Master Miao, but this prince has never seen the power of Gu insects. It's rare for Master Miao to come to the capital. This prince wants to open his eyes."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Miao Qiu flicked her finger lightly, Wu Sheng hadn't seen her movements clearly at all, only to see a maid behind Su Zi screamed suddenly, and then walked towards Miao Qiu with a confused expression.

"Slap yourself!"

"Slap!" The servant girl slapped herself hard without hesitation.

"Bite off a piece of flesh from my own arm."

The servant girl's eyes revealed a look of struggle, and she quickly became extremely fierce. She obediently pulled up her sleeves and bit down hard.

"Hiss!" A piece of meat spat out from her mouth, and her mouth was full of blood, which made Wu Sheng and Su Zi want to gag.

"Pinch your own neck."

The maid put her hands on her neck.

"Pinch hard!"

The maid's hands began to exert force, and soon her face was red, her breathing was short of breath, and her eyes began to roll upwards.

"More force!"

Due to the lack of oxygen, the servant girl's complexion has turned purple.

Seeing that he was about to die, Wu Sheng couldn't bear to look away, "Enough!"

"Stop!" Hearing the instruction, the maid let go of her hands and passed out on the ground.

With a wave of Su Zi's hand, the two immediately came in and carried the maid out.

Miao Qiujie laughed strangely, "It is impossible for the third prince to be so soft-hearted."

"Is this the power of Gu?" Wu Sheng thought of what the maid had done, and his heart shuddered.

If this Miao Qiu had a second heart and put the Gu worms on him, wouldn't he be at the mercy of others in the future?
"Third Prince, don't worry." Miao Qiu's cold eyes like poisonous snakes seemed to be able to read people's hearts. "Gu is not omnipotent. If you meet a determined person, not only can you not control it, but the Gu owner may even be backlashed."

From Wu Sheng's point of view, Lu Xinyan is definitely one of the people with a firm mind, he frowned slightly, "So if you meet such a person, Gu will be useless?"

"That depends on what kind of Gu you use." Miao Qiu said: "It was just an ordinary mind-controlling Gu, used to deal with people who are not strong-minded. If you meet someone with a firm mind, use some advanced Gu, such as Zimu Gu, Heart-biting Gu, etc."

Miao Qiu introduced the Gu she fed to Wu Sheng one by one.

Hearing this, Wu Sheng sometimes frowned, sometimes relaxed, and asked whether there were any side effects.

Seeing that the sky was getting late, Su Zi said: "Third Prince, everyone Miao has just arrived in the capital and is not quite used to the water and soil here, and they are not feeling well. It's getting late today. If the Third Prince is interested, how about asking another day?"

Wu Sheng said: "Then everyone Miao has worked hard today, and the prince will come to visit another day."

Miao Qiu saluted and went down.

Su Zi asked: "Has the third prince decided to put any kind of Gu on Mrs. Shizi's body?"

The wife she was talking about was Lu Xinyan.

Wu Shengdao: "The Gu people mentioned by Miao all have an impact on the body of the person who cast the Gu."

It means I haven't thought about it yet.

He wanted to get Lu Xinyan, but he didn't want to hurt Lu Xinyan's body.

Su Zi smiled, but the meaning of the smile was unclear, "The third prince is sympathetic."

"If the third prince hasn't figured out what kind of Gu to use on Mrs. Shizi's body, my little girl wants to use Gu to deal with one person first."

"Who?"

-

On the fifth day of October, the palace test.

Emperor Longde was still unconscious, Wu Rui and Wu Sheng co-hosted, and invited the ministers of the court and China to take the assessment together.

Lu Ziyi and Liu Han exchanged fluently.

After more than an hour of testing, after discussing with Wu Rui, Wu Sheng and several important officials, Lu Ziyi was appointed as the number one scholar, Liu Han was selected as Tanhua, and a group of students were awarded!
"King Xie Rui, thank you Third Prince!"

Although it was not hand-picked by Emperor Longde himself, I always feel a little regretful.

But the future emperor, either Wu Rui or Wu Sheng, made all the students feel a little relieved.

After everyone congratulated each other, Wu Sheng suddenly said: "Accepting the order of the Empress Dowager, at the beginning of next month, this prince will formally choose a concubine. The candidates on the list of candidates for the three princes and concubines before are Miss Yao Fu, Miss Yan Fu, and Miss Qin Fu , this prince thinks both are good. As for who will be the main concubine and who will be the side concubine, I can't make up my mind for a while, so please give me your opinions when the time comes!"

Miss Yao, Miss Yan, and Miss Qin are Yao Xue, Yan Qingruo, and Qin Zi respectively.

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were stunned.

Is the third prince going to choose a main concubine and two side concubines at once?

　Thank you Lu Qingling for the flowers!
　　Thanks to 133*****383 for the monthly pass!
