"Since Yan'er came to Ci Ning Palace, Ae's family feels that her mood has improved a lot, and most of her illness has gone. There is nothing wrong with her left and right at home. Ae's family wanted to let her stay in the palace for a while, the emperor. What do you think?" The Queen Mother said to Zhou Sheng, who was sitting at the bottom, in a discussing tone.

The Yang Liyan mentioned in her mouth stood slim and graceful behind the Queen Mother, with a touch of blush on her coquettish face, and she looked at her emperor cousin with affectionate eyes.

Zhou Sheng seemed to be unable to withstand her gaze, and couldn't help but cough lightly: "Since the Queen Mother said so, how can I be unreasonable? I am busy with national affairs and can't bear her love under the Queen Mother's knees every day. Now I have a cousin. Of course I am very happy to share my worries!"

The queen mother smiled with satisfaction: "The emperor agrees, and the Ai family is relieved." She said that she glanced at her niece next to her with an encouraging look.

Yang Liyan understood, and said softly: "The emperor's cousin, I heard that a batch of koi came to the Royal Garden today. Yan'er has never seen a koi!"

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "What a major event, if Yaner wants to see it, cousin will take you there..."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Yan'er, your cousin is busy with national affairs, how can you have time to watch koi with you?"

Yang Liyan grinned and said: "Where is my cousin busy with national affairs, I am afraid that the beauty who is with him is the real one!" My soul is hooked away..."

The queen mother hurriedly stopped and said: "Yan'er, bold, how can you talk about the emperor like this?"

Zhou Sheng smiled awkwardly: "Ling Qing is just a boy and a girl. How can it be so exaggerated?"

Yang Liyan snorted: "The emperor's cousin knows to protect him."

The queen mother sank her face and said: "Speaking of this, the emperor, you are too ridiculous, a son of a sinful official, you just need to forgive him, and even take him to your bedroom to eat and live with you, this It simply ignores the ancestors' family methods!"

Zhou Sheng just laughed: "What the Queen Mother taught is that Ling Qing is really pitiful, and that a well-known master fell into this field, and I really feel sorry for him..."

A big man said in front of everyone that he felt bad for another man. It would be so disgusting and disgusting. The Queen Mother held back the disgust in her eyes, but such an emperor was exactly what the Yang family needed.

The queen mother suppressed the disgust in her heart and said patiently: "Okay, I won't talk about this. Didn't you agree to go to see the koi with her just now? Ae's family is a little uncomfortable, so she will go back to the palace first. "

Zhou Sheng stood up hurriedly, looked at the figure of the queen mother and her party, and nodded Yang Liyan's little nose, and smiled softly: "I haven't seen you in a few months, my cousin is much more beautiful."

Yang Liyan chuckled and said, "The cousin, tell me, is there that beauty?"

Zhou Sheng nodded her nose again: "When it comes to beauty, no one in the world can match Ling Qing."

Yang Liyan frowned slightly: "I don't believe it, cousin, you let me see him, see if it's as rumored, it's really so overwhelming?"

Zhou Sheng laughed and said, "What do you count as a lady who sees a big man?"

Yang Liyan pursed her lips: "No, cousin, I want to see him to see if he was born in such a disaster?"

Zhou Sheng pretended to be distressed: "But what if you are fascinated by him after you see him, won't you cry without tears for your cousin?"

Yang Liyan stomped her feet in embarrassment: "Cousin, you are not serious!"

Zhou Sheng laughed loudly: "When am I passing by?"

But Zhou Sheng couldn't hold back Yang Liyan, so he took her to his bedroom, Wenhua Palace. Standing at the door of Wenhua Hall was a sleepy little eunuch, who was the attendant sent to Ling Qing by Zhou Sheng.

"Little Guizi, where's your son?" Zhou Sheng deliberately refused to let people know, and walked directly to the little **** and shouted.

The little **** was startled, and when he opened his eyes and saw who it was, he knelt down in fright, "Little Guizi, see you!"

Zhou Sheng smiled and called him up: "Where is your son? Are you studying again?"

Yang Liyan looked at the little **** curiously, trying to find out something on his face, but although Ling Qing was famous, the little **** was born quite ordinary, and his appearance was not that impressive.

Seeing her behavior, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but smile and said, "I found this little eunuch. You don't need to look at it. If you want to know what Ling Qing looks like, just come in."

As soon as the voice fell, a clear male voice came from the sleeping hall: "I don't know if the lord is coming up, the weird minister has missed far to welcome!"

Yang Liyan looked expectantly at the Huanghuali-inlaid Hundred Treasures screen, wanting to see exactly what kind of awe-inspiring is coming from behind that screen.

Zhou Sheng bends the corners of his lips and smiled: "It's all right!"

The figure had walked to the front of the screen and appeared in front of the two under Yang Liyan's gaze.

It was a tall and thin boy, only seventeen or eighteen years old, with dark eyes, fair skin, and delicate features. It was not a fabled look at all.

Yang Liyan sighed disappointedly: "Sure enough, the rumors are misleading!" Turning around, she glared at Zhou Sheng fiercely: "Cousin, you are a lie, how can this Ling Qing be as beautiful as you said?"

Zhou Sheng laughed loudly: "Cousin, when did I tell you that he is Ling Qing, this is the eldest son of Wu'an Hou's Mansion, Prince Wu."

A slight anger flashed on Wu Shizi's face, but he controlled it well: "Weichen still has important matters, so I won't disturb the Lord."

Zhou Sheng touched his nose and said, "My cousin has no words, please don't take it to heart."

Wu Shizi said: "Weichen dare not!"

Zhou Sheng had to wave his hand: "Then you go!"

After Wu Shizi left the dormitory, Yang Liyan finally couldn't help but said, "Cousin, why do you always have so many men in your dormitory?"

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "If I don't live with a man, can I still be with a woman?" He smiled deliberately at Yang Liyan.

Yang Liyan stomped her foot: "You don't know what the legend says about you, saying that you, the emperor, likes...likes..." She wasn't as embarrassed to say it.

Zhou Sheng smiled and said for her: "Say I have the advantage of Long Yang?"

Yang Liyan stared at him hatefully: "If you know, why is it so absurd?"

Zhou Sheng said, "Someone is here!"

Yang Liyan was still a little angry, thinking he was changing the subject, but the sound of footsteps reminded her that someone was indeed here.

Zhou Sheng shouted at the west side hall: "Ling Qing, come here, someone wants to see you."

There was an extremely clear voice behind, "The Lord is joking again!"

Yang Liyan was stunned. This sound was really nice, just like the sound of spring water she heard in the back mountain when she went to stay with the Queen Mother in Hanquan Temple that year, it was very sweet!

Zhou Sheng said: "Are I kidding, you will know when you come over!"

The man didn't speak any more, but raised the soft curtain of yellow satin embroidered phoenix on the west side, and a beautiful and unspeakable young man walked out.

The boy was at most fifteen years old. He was wearing a jade-white background embroidered with silver bamboo leaves. His eyes were like the finest black pearls in the South China Sea, with deep and secluded eyes; his skin was white and delicate, just like the most exquisite mutton jade. , Lustrous and shiny; but the best thing is his brows, which are like two bamboo leaves, which are closely born on his eyes, adding a little leisurely temperament to him.

Seeing Yang Liyan, he couldn't help showing a look of surprise and hurriedly turned his gaze to Zhou Sheng.

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "This is my cousin. She has always wanted to know how you look like."

Ling Qing faintly gave a salute: "Weichen sees Miss Yang. If there is any rudeness, I hope to forgive me!"

Yang Liyan was startled by his appearance at first, and she was stunned in the local area, but after a few breaths, she returned to her senses: "Ling son, don't be polite!" Turning her head to look at Zhou Sheng: "The emperor's cousin, you didn't promise me Go to see the koi, let's go now!"

Zhou Sheng replied: "Okay! I'm really afraid that you will ignore your cousin after meeting Ling Qing!"

Ling Qing said lightly: "The Lord is joking!"

Zhou Sheng patted him on the right shoulder: "I'm really not joking. Sometimes I really love and hate you, for fear that you will take away the beauty I fancy from me one day..."

Yang Liyan turned reddish and walked away quickly.

Ling Qing looked at Zhou Sheng helplessly: "The Lord is in front of outsiders, must this be the case?"

Zhou Sheng blinked and said, "Do you have a better way to make others think that I am an A Dou who can't help me?"

Ling Qing shook his head: "No."

Zhou Sheng smiled and said: "This is not the end! For the Yang family, a stained emperor is better to control than a Mingjun..."

"Cousin, are you going or not?" Yang Liyan urged outside.

Zhou Sheng sighed and replied loudly: "Here it is!"

Wu Shizi left the Wenhua Hall and walked towards Donganmen on a Yonglu, where he met several ministers.

Several ministers showed respect in front of him, but they whispered before they went far.

"This Wu'an Hou's eldest son is as pure as the rumors said, no wonder he is very fond of the sage."

"You haven't seen Ling Qing who is allure, that's truly stunning."

Wu Shizi's face turned pale, and his right hand was tightly clasped. He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his ears were extraordinary. The words of several ministers were passed to his ears without any omission.

It was his greatest shame to be summoned to the palace by Zhou Sheng by the present sage last year, and to be treated as a saint's plaything by those unknowing ministers. Although Zhou Sheng was not actually a person who liked Longyang as the minister said, the shame he brought to him would not diminish in the slightest.

"Brother Wu, why did you come out of the Wenhua Hall so early today?" A young man who was more handsome than the son of Wu Shizi walked over, with a bookish air between his brows.

Wu Shizi looked at this famous scholar, Shen Peizhi, who was from a scholarly family, but now he was repeatedly called to the palace by Sheng Shang. The depression in his heart dissipated a little, and he was not the only one who resisted the rumors.

"With Ling Qing here, what am I still doing in Wenhua Hall?" Wu Shizi replied lightly.

Shen Peizhi did not have the noble air of Wu Shizi, and his face was a scholar's easy-going generosity. He waved his sleeves and said: "The Lord ordered someone to pass on a message to me. It was a scroll of ancient books. The younger brother couldn't help but even eat. I rushed over without eating..."

Wu Shizi interrupted, "I am afraid that the Lord is not in the Wenhua Hall."

"Where is the Wenhua Palace?" Shen Pei asked.

Wu Shizi snorted: "The Lord is now with that Miss Yang!"

Miss Yang, Shen Pei uttered "Oh": "If this is the case, the younger brother will not be bothered. However, since the Lord said this, he must have an explanation. The younger brother will not look for other people, just go to Ling Qing. Yes."

Seeing what he said was extremely positive, Wu Shizi couldn't make him feel happy, and said coldly: "Then you go, I have something to do, so I won't accompany you back."

Shen Peizhi said with a gentle smile: "Brother Wu is a famously busy man, how dare you delay your business, my little brother."

The two broke up here, and Shen Peizhi continued to walk towards the Wenhua Palace.

Halfway down the road, I met Gong Jin, the little **** next to Zhou Sheng. Shen Peizhi often went in and out of the Wenhua Hall. He naturally recognized the little **** next to Zhou Sheng and couldn't help but smile: "Where did Gong Jin go?"

Gong Jin held a tray in his hand and walked with his head lowered. When he heard something, he raised his head and saw Shen Peizhi. He squatted down and asked for peace: "Shen Gongzi'an."

Shen Pei chuckled: "What's on this?"

Gong Jin laughed and said: "The Holy Master is accompanying Miss Yang. This bowl of sour plum soup was ordered by the Holy Master to cool off the heat from the minion."

Shen Pei laughed and said: "So, the Lord is not in the Wenhua Hall, but the Lord ordered someone to pass on a new volume of ancient books..."

Gong Jin bowed his waist and said, "The slave faintly heard this matter, saying that the volume of ancient books has been handed over to Young Master Ling Qingling."

Shen Peizhi clapped his hands and laughed: "Then it will be easy." Chong Gongjin waved and said: "There is nothing to do with you here, you should hurry up and give Miss Yang sour plum soup!"

Gong Jin nodded and bowed to send Shen Peizhi away, carefully holding the tray to the Imperial Garden. Turning to a peony platform in the Royal Garden, you will arrive at the Qutan. The pond is about two acres in size and is planted with many lotus flowers. The newly arrived hundreds of koi are placed in it.

On the pavilion of the curved pool, Zhou Sheng was lying lazily on a soft couch. Yang Liyan held a crystal bowl in her left hand, grabbed some fish food in the bowl with her right hand, and sprinkled it into the pool.

In the summer, the lotus blossomed very well, sending bursts of fragrance from time to time. Hundreds of koi carps were attracted by the scent of fish food, clustered to the pavilion, only to see a golden red color in the water, and only smell the brocade for a while. The sound of carp eating.

Yang Liyan had a lot of fun, and she was also called Zhou Sheng, "The emperor's cousin, you see these fish are really beautiful, especially this one is actually golden all over."

Zhou Sheng replied lazily: "What's weird? When I was a child, I even saw a white fish all over the body."

The two were talking, Gong Jin arrived holding the sour plum soup, Yang Liyan took the bowl, didn't worry about drinking, just asked: "Cousin, are you serious?"

Zhou Sheng raised his eyelids, waved his hand to order Gong Jin to retreat, and replied, "That white fish was a tribute from a small country, but it was a pity that it didn't support it. At that time, the emperor was very sorry..."

Yang Liyan drank the sour plum soup halfway, suddenly put down the bowl, and said on a whim: "Cousin, since the white fish came from a small country, you can order them to make another tribute."

Zhou Sheng stood up and sat up: "Even if one pays one more tribute, no one can support it. Could it be that they can't keep paying tribute?"

Yang Liyan thought: "This is a problem."

Zhou Sheng got up and stretched: "Cousin, this fish has also been watched, and the sour plum soup has also been drunk. It is time for me to deal with the memorial."

Yang Liyan snorted: "Cousin's handling of the memorial is false, so let's accompany that Ling Qing is true!"

Zhou Sheng did not deny: "I guessed half right. I not only went to accompany Ling Qing, but also invited someone to read a volume of ancient books." Without waiting for Yang Liyan to say anything, he ordered: "Come here, send Yang The young lady is going back to the Queen Mother's Ci Ning Palace!"

Yang Liyan stomped her feet and said bitterly: "Don't worry about it, I will return to Ci Ning Palace by myself."

Zhou Sheng looked at Yang Liyan's back, touched his chin, pulled out a faint smile, and shook his front, and said to Gong Jin who came in response: "Go, return to Wenhua Palace."

Hearing Shen Peizhi's laughter from the Wenhua Hall, Zhou Sheng couldn't help bend his lips, stepped into the Wenhua Hall in a good mood, and said loudly: "Peizhi, how about this ancient book I just got?"

Inside, Ling Qing and Shen Peizhi heard the sound and hurried over to greet us. Zhou Sheng yelled before they finished their salute. Ling Qing stood up and said: "When the Lord comes in, we don't make a sound. It always surprises us."

Shen Peizhi shook a folding fan, and his face was full of joy: "This ancient book on the Lord is really amazing. According to the ministers..."

Zhou Sheng smiled and interrupted: "Of course it's a good thing. It was obtained from the old man of Gao Pu. The old man has no other skills. The ability to collect ancient books is first-rate."

Shen Pei laughed and said: "Such a good ancient book fell into Gao Pu's hands, and it was really a jewel in secret. But fortunately, the Lord asked for this jewel over, otherwise it will have to be dusty."

Zhou Sheng glanced at him with a faint smile: "I'm not that foolish person. I am willing to give this book to you after a few words of flattery from you. There is no door."

Shen Peizhi’s face immediately collapsed. Ling Qing watched silently, without saying a word, before saying: “The Lord is reluctant to give the book to Brother Shen, and lend him a few days. Otherwise, I Seeing that Brother Shen has been in the Wenhua Hall for a month, the Lord will have a headache when the time comes. The few new paintings you have acquired are still kept in the study. If you let Brother Shen see it, I'm afraid... ."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Peizhi had already recovered his previous joy, and exclaimed: "Calligraphy and painting, what calligraphy and painting, Lord, what good do you have?"

Zhou Sheng smiled helplessly: "Then I will lend you this ancient book for a month!"

Shen Pei was overjoyed. After thanking Zhou Sheng, he said to Ling Qing: "Thank you, Brother Ling, for your kind words."

Zhou Sheng hummed: "If that volume of ancient books is missing a trace, I will ask you as well."

Shen Peizhi was full of joy: "Don't worry, Lord, the minister will take good care of it..."

Zhou Sheng didn't wait for him to finish, so he interrupted: "Well, you have the ancient books, so I won't keep you much, or else I don't know what crime I should suffer from the calligraphy and painting in my study!"

After Shen Peizhi left, Zhou Sheng couldn't help but laughed and cursed: "This Peizhi, I will never invite him to read ancient books next time."

Ling Qing smiled and said: "The Lord always said that, but in the end he couldn't help but call him."

Zhou Sheng said: "Don't talk about this. When Wu Shizi left, I think he looked bad, did someone make him angry again?"

Ling Qing said, "It's not that the ministers in Xianwen Pavilion chewed their tongues. Wu Shizi heard them talking in the morning. He didn't even eat breakfast, so he sat angrily for a while."

Zhou Sheng sighed: "This Wu Shizi has a bit too high temperament. I have already told him that right now it's just acting, what do you do with those people? Do you think Shen Peizhi cared about this... "

Ling Qing said: "He comes from the Hou Mansion, so naturally he values ​​his identity a little bit. In addition to this kind of thing, it is normal for him to have trouble with his face."

Zhou Sheng sighed: "After these years, I will definitely compensate him."

Ling Qing said: "Don't be too anxious, the master. Although the Yang family is full of arrogance, there are no outstanding children. Even if the master does not take action, another ten or eight years will pass. When the queen mother and Yang Shichang are old, then the Yang family It's not a problem."

Zhou Shengman casually said: "What you said, I haven't thought about it, but as long as I think about the father's last words, I can't stand still. The Yang family must fall, and the sooner the better."

A complicated light flashed in Ling Qing's eyes, and asked, "It seems that the Lord has already figured out a countermeasure."

Zhou Sheng said coldly: "Didn't the Queen Mother want the Yang family's daughter to enter the palace? I will give her this opportunity."

Ling Qing sighed slightly: "Ms. Yang family, I have seen it today. She doesn't look like a compliant woman. Is the Lord really thinking about it? Can such a person be the mother of a country?"

Zhou Sheng sneered and said: "I can only sit for Hanlin's daughter as the queen's seat. Yang Liyan, I just want to make her a concubine."

Ling Qing said: "I'm afraid the Queen Mother won't agree to it!"

Zhou Sheng snorted coldly: "I have already had a countermeasure. It would be difficult for her not to agree." Then he said, "How is Qunfang Pavilion? Has Yang Liyan's eldest brother been there recently?"

Ling Qing can be picked by Zhou Sheng and placed next to him. Naturally, he is not only outstanding in appearance. He was known for his intelligence when he was a famous young man. Now he not only helps Zhou Sheng make suggestions, but also collects intelligence from various parties.

"Recently, Yang Chengzong rarely went to the Qunfang Pavilion. About the last time he leaked the news, Yang Shichang lost his temper in the mansion. Yang Chengzong was so courageous, he was afraid of touching the mold, so he didn't dare to go."

Zhou Sheng snorted coldly, "Jiangshan is easy to change, and his nature is hard to change. With Yang Chengzong's temperament, he can't bear it for a few days. You send someone to stare at it. As long as you get useful information from Qunfang Pavilion, you will immediately notify me."

Ling Qing nodded: "I see." Zhou Shengduo said this. He would take it to heart. Although the downfall of the Ling family was not directly caused by Yang Shichang, it was also caused by him indirectly. Although he advised Zhou Sheng not to be anxious for success, he would naturally not let it go if he had the chance to overthrow Yang Shichang in one fell swoop.

The author has something to say: The scum author has always wanted to write such a palace battle with the emperor as his vision.

The heroine will go through the next chapter and guess who it is wearing.
