NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 13 Caught off guard
The next morning, the faint morning light shone on the golden glazed tiled double-eaves roof, which looked particularly brilliant.
Jinluan Hall is the main hall of the Dayu Dynasty. The inner pillars of the hall are supported by multiple giant red pillars. Each pillar is engraved with a spiraling, lifelike golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular.
Morning morning routine.
The ministers in the palace stood in two rows. The prime minister, headed by the civil servants on the left row, took it calmly and calmly. The Taiwei, headed by the military general on the right row, had his eyes slightly closed and seemed indifferent to all matters in the court.
One by one, the ministers of the court came out and reported to Emperor Yu who was sitting on the dragon throne.
The monarch and his ministers asked and answered questions, and several ministers made an agreement below. Everything was solemn but peaceful.
When Emperor Yu and the ministers in the court were planning the last thing, Manager Li bent down and quickly came to Emperor Yu's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Oh?" Emperor Yu had a look of surprise in his eyes after hearing this.
The noise in the court immediately fell silent. When the ministers saw Emperor Yu, they nodded lightly. Before they could take a closer look, they heard Eunuch Li shouting:
"Xuan, General Chu Junyan of the Western Conquest enters the palace!"
Um?
In an instant, several ministers who had squinted their eyes opened their eyes, and the palace seemed to be a little brighter.
It came so quickly, so interesting!
The surrounding ministers were even more surprised. Didn't they say that Chu Junyan would arrive in two days? How come it was so fast?
"Xuan, General Chu Junyan of the Western Conquest enters the palace!"
With the shouting outside the door,
At that time, Chu Junyan, who looked very heroic in military uniforms and soft armor with golden patterns, stepped into the Golden Palace.
Facing the probing gazes of the ministers, Lord Chu walked to the center of the palace and saluted Emperor Yu without squinting:
"General Chu Junyan, please see your majesty!"
"I, Dayu Tianjiao, have not seen you, General Chu, for a long time."
When Emperor Yu saw the heroic Chu Junyan, his eyes were filled with admiration.
Chu Junyan leaned forward again and said, "Thank you for your majesty's concern. The general was worried about my sister's preference for the prince, so I went to Beijing overnight to ask for your majesty's instructions."
coming!
When the ministers who bowed their heads in silence heard these words, they sighed inwardly that the Zhenguo Mansion had indeed chosen Chu Qingyan.
Among them, several courtiers at the back of the Jinluan Palace had pity in their eyes. They were officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and they did not expect to be selected by the Zhenguo Mansion so quickly.
They also wanted to take advantage of these few days to publicize the matter and secretly engage in a huge bet on which young lady from the government was engaged to which prince.
There must be many people participating in such a major event that shakes the dynasty, and then a large amount of funds can be added to the national treasury.
pity! such a pity!
"I don't know, little niece Chu has her eye on any of my good princes!"
Suddenly the eyes of the surrounding ministers became extremely sharp!
Chu Junyan raised her beautiful face and said word by word:
"Fifth Prince Li Yuan!"
Many ministers shrank their eyes and quickly looked at the unfathomable Emperor Yu above.
It was quiet in the court hall.
Emperor Yu was silent for a while, staring at Chu Junyan with bright and deep eyes, and said slowly:
"That's right!"
Hearing this, Chu Junyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that something unexpected would happen.
After deciding on the candidate with Chu Qingyan last night, we avoided unnecessary complications, made a decisive decision, and did not give certain forces in Kyoto a chance to react, and then suddenly went to court this morning.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
………………
In the pavilion of Yujing College, the alluring Chu Qingyan looked up at the sky. Her ink-like black hair flowed straight down to her waist. Her eyes were as cold as a clear spring on a snow-capped mountain. She had an ethereal, cold and arrogant air about her. temperament.
In her eyes, the blue sky above Kyoto was like a series of stable shackles, enveloping her in this place.
But at this moment, in her eyes, the dense shackles were breaking layer by layer. The sun shone on her face with incomparable warmth, and the corners of her mouth gradually curved into a perfect arc.
Fifth Prince Li Yuan, please give me your advice in the future!
"Second Miss, I have already informed them." Qingyan walked over quickly.
"Well, those who are willing to follow me out of Kyoto, let them prepare and leave after the Yujing Academy competition. If they don't want to, don't force them and let them continue to stay in Kyoto."
Chu Qingyan stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes shining with an unprecedented light.
She could roughly guess where Li Yuan's fiefdom was, whether it was big or small?
Anyway, that’s the stage for her to show off!
My sister Chu Junyan can be famous in the dynasty, why can't she, Chu Qingyan!
………………
In Jingyuan Palace, on the small pavilion in the lake, Li Yuan was leaning on the pavilion pillar, scattering handfuls of bait on the lake, very leisurely.
It’s not enough to be leisurely. The mentality of having money in hand and having no money are not the same thing at all.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
The surface of the lake was rolling, and fish that were so black and so red that they were so bright emerged from the water one by one.
Li Yuan looked at these fish, feeling full of regret. It's a pity that these fish can't be sold!
If he could sell the palace, he would definitely live a very comfortable life after opening his own mansion.
Not to mention other things, I can't treat every hero I summoned badly.
tread! tread! tread!
A voice came, and Xiao Ziye hurriedly preached:
"Your Highness, the fourth prince is here."
As soon as Xiao Yezi rushed out, Li Yuan saw Li Yao, who was following behind him with a frown on his face.
Li Yao took a step and crossed over Xiao Yezi in an instant. The aura of the innate realm came out faintly, and he came to Li Yuan's side in a few breaths.
Li Yuan sat up straight before waiting for him to speak.
Li Yao said hurriedly: "Fifth brother, Chu Junyan went to court today."
"What!"
Li Yuan was shocked, so fast?
Li Yao's face turned pale and he muttered: "What a child's play, what a child's play. This is a lifelong event, how can you be so casual!"
Mainly because the plan that Li Yao discussed with Concubine Lin last night was completely disrupted.
"Fifth brother, tell me, what if Chu Junyan asks my father to let me marry Chu Qingyan?"
Li Yao walked around the pavilion, looking worried about himself.
Li Yao never thought that Chu Junyan and the others would choose Li Yuan. In his opinion, Li Yuan was dispensable in the palace. How could Chu Junyan and the others fall in love with Li Yuan.
Li Yuan also showed concern. The eldest princess said that she was optimistic that Chu Qingyan would choose her, and the three princes were all optimistic about her.
Chu Junyan went to court so quickly because she didn't want people like the eldest princess to interfere too much.
It's hard to do now.
"Fourth brother, I think you should hurry back to the palace now. If your father comes to find you, it will be bad if you are not around."
"Yes, yes!" Li Yao suddenly realized that no matter whether Chu Junyan or Chu Qingyan chose him, his father would definitely look for him after the morning court.
"Fifth brother, I'm leaving now!" Li Yao left in a hurry.
As soon as Li Yao stepped out of the Huxin Pavilion, he heard Xiao Zizi's urgent message:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has summoned you. Eunuch Li is waiting for you outside the palace gate!"
Li Yao suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Li Yuan!
