Dong Dong——

The evening drums sounded like thunder, and the copper bells rang by the imperial guards resounded throughout the imperial capital. The setting sun sank into the mountains, evoking the lights of thousands of houses in the capital.

Outside the Imperial Palace, there is a large bustling neighborhood headed by the Shenwu Gate of the Imperial City. Since the founding of Dayan, the layout of the capital has been well defined. The inner and outer cities were mostly populated by common people, while the inner city was occupied by wealthy families, wealthy families, and noble families. Ancestral temples, official offices, inner courts, etc. are located in the imperial city. At the same time, it is also the residence of many ministers, princes and nobles.

Far away in the Shengjing Academy on the northwest corner of the imperial city, there is a purple bamboo forest.

Under the bamboo forest, two people were playing chess in black and white. The book boy with white teeth and red lips was making tea and pouring tea. One was a handsome man in a purple python robe, with a majestic face and a full forehead. He looked noble at first glance.

This person is the eldest prince of the current dynasty, Lu Changfeng.

Another old man in a dark blue scholar's shirt with gray temples sipped his tea cup and was about to make a comment.

He was interrupted by a voice.

Mr. Qi, I still don't understand why my father made such a decision. According to you, is this really a warning from the Taoist sect that makes my father afraid to fight back?

Lu Changfeng looked worried.

The balance of the three religions co-governing cannot be destroyed in a short time, even by the current Holy Master. The old man in Confucian shirt chuckled.

Mr. Qi, you are a great scholar of Shengjing Academy and the prime minister of the current dynasty. Isn't there any way to save one or two? Will this incident create a gap between my father and me, thus affecting the succession of the heir apparent? ?”

Lu Changfeng looked at the old man in front of him, with hope in his eyes.

Mr. Qi, whose full name is Qi Xingyan, is a famous Confucian in the Great Yan Dynasty. He is the head of the Shengjing Academy. His disciples are many Jinshi and Juren, and they are all over the world. He is also a cabinet minister and one of the governors. He is quite popular in the Great Yan. The emperor's respect.

Qi Xingyan did not answer in a hurry, but stroked his beard and drank tea, and said calmly:

Your Highness, your heart is confused.

Lu Changfeng sighed: Can I stop being chaotic? The Taoist sect actually went to assassinate the fifth prince Lu Mingkong without my permission. Although I also want Lu Mingkong to die, I can't do it in such an obvious way, right?

If my father alienates me because of this matter, wouldn't that let that guy Lu Guangjing take advantage?

Qi Xingyan shook his head slightly, looked at the restless eldest prince in front of him, sighed softly in his heart, and said comfortingly:

Don't worry, the eldest prince. The Taoist sect is a Taoist sect, and His Highness is His Highness. Your Majesty will not be so pedantic. Besides, if there is no decisive great achievement, the position of the Crown Prince will still be vacant. In my opinion, Your Majesty is not in a hurry to establish a successor, so Do not worry.

Lu Changfeng murmured: The decisive event is that capturing the demon girl alive is a great achievement. Not only can General Pei be granted the title of marquis, but Dayan can also advance to the eighteen cities in the north. That is hundreds of miles of fertile land. Now because of Lu Mingyuan That bastard, all wasted.”

In the second half of the sentence, his tone was full of indignation towards Lu Mingyuan.

At this moment, Qi Xingyan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: There may be something fishy about the case of the Demonic Girl. It may not necessarily be the work of the Sixth Prince.

It doesn't matter whether he is or not. The key thing now is how to keep this guy Lu Guangjing away from my sight.

Lu Changfeng looked ugly. He squeezed the teacup in his hand with his five fingers and crushed it with a click. The tea instantly spilled all over the table.

Seeing this situation, Qi Xingyan's eyes showed helplessness.

Dad, today's class is over.

At this time, a gentle voice sounded from the academy.

Attracting the attention of the eldest prince, he saw a tall lady in a moon-blue skirt, with a double bun on her head, long hair like a waterfall, revealing her ears and neck as white as jade, holding a book, and on her feet. Pink embroidered shoes with peach petal patterns walked towards the two of them.

When Qi Xingyan heard the address and saw the owner of the voice, a rich smile immediately appeared on his face.

Xue'er, I haven't met His Highness yet.

When the woman saw the man in python robe opposite her father, she bowed slightly and said hello in a nice and soft voice:

My little daughter Qi Muxue has met His Royal Highness the eldest prince.

Lu Changfeng saw this woman. Her facial features were pure and delicate, her eyes were dark and shiny, and she had a scent of books.

When we met for the first time, I felt astonished.

I had long heard that Qi Xingyan married a wife in his forties. In the first half of his life, he only wanted to study and gain fame. In the second half of his life, he got a daughter, so he loved her daughter very much.

When I saw it today, it certainly lived up to its reputation.

Qi Muxue, the most talented woman in the Imperial Capital, I have heard of your name.

Lu Changfeng's voice was low, and his tone was full of approval. He thought he was handsome, and his very deliberate smoky voice swept away the gloominess just now, and he couldn't help but move forward.

Qi Muxue smiled lightly, maintained restraint and distance, took a step back, and said humbly: The eldest prince has been praised too much. These are just false names added by the world.

Qi Xingyan, who was standing beside him, was an old fox after all. He could see the eldest prince's admiration at a glance and changed the subject: Xue'er, the sun has gone down. You are not going back home, but do you have other things?

Dad, my daughter has made an appointment with Princess Pingyang and several princesses to go to the palace to put out lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival, so she won't be going back tonight.

Qi Muxue explained softly.

Hearing this, Qi Xingyan nodded: Okay, let's go. When you come back tomorrow, remember to tell your father.

yes.

Your Highness, I will take my leave first.

Lu Changfeng looked at the other person's leaving figure with a bit of reluctance in his eyes, and there was still a residual fragrance in the air.

Soon, he looked into Qi Xingyan's deep eyes and smiled sheepishly: Mr. Qi, you are my daughter.

Qi Xingyan looked leisurely and drank a cup of tea and said: Your Highness, I only have this daughter. Besides, the princess is also beautiful and fragrant, so why should I miss my little girl.

Lu Changfeng thought of the man at home, smiled bitterly, and stopped mentioning the matter.

At night, at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the streets were brightly lit with lanterns and bustling with people.

Even the palace is no exception. The concubines and maids in the palace stand shadowy by the wooden guardrails of the tall and dangerous buildings, murmuring and laughing, holding lanterns of different shapes in their hands, some with rabbits and some with mandarin ducks. Yes, there are koi and so on.

Lu Mingyuan, who was watching this scene with his bloody gluttonous clone from a distance, just silently took a bite of the glutinous rice balls in the bowl.

Your Highness, that phoenix lantern is so beautiful!

Ziyun on the side pointed to a red paper-cut nine-feathered phoenix high up and shouted excitedly.

Lu Mingyuan could understand this feeling very well. After all, life in the palace was indeed boring, and it was rare to have such a grand event, so he chuckled and said, You can go if you want.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Ziyun got the answer and happily held up her skirt and headed towards the tower outside the palace.

Lu Mingyuan took another bite of glutinous rice balls with a strange look on his face: The last one was filled with mung bean filling, and this one is filled with egg yolk? We are opening the blind box on the side.

He raised his head, looked at the beautiful figure meditating on the dead tree outside the window, and shouted:

Miss Yun, why don't you go put out a lantern or something?

Mortal things don't interest me.

Yun Qinghe replied calmly.

Lu Mingyuan was stunned and said nothing. He continued to eat glutinous rice balls in silence and check the progress of the panel.

Now ordinary food has little effect on his progress.

There are only twenty points a day, which is a drop in the bucket.

This means that it will take him two hundred and fifty days to break through the fourth realm and emerge.

I have to find a way to get some spiritual things from heaven and earth to eat.

Lu Mingyuan thought this way, and at this moment, a jade rabbit-shaped lantern slowly fell from the sky and landed in front of his window, emitting a faint halo.

Sorry, I left my lantern here. Can you open the door and help me get it?

At this time, a gentle and sweet voice came from outside the gate of Qingzhu Palace.

Lu Mingyuan picked up the lantern and knew that the owner of the lantern had come to the door.

Zhila!

He opened the door, and outside the door was a woman in a skirt with red and frozen earlobes. It was dark and he couldn't see her face clearly, but the moment the yellowish lantern shone on her face, he could see her clearly.

She is a woman with a beautiful face and gentle temperament.

Thank you, sir.

As the eyes of the two people met, the woman felt that the young man in front of her was very pleasing to the eye and handsome. In an instant, there seemed to be an electric current in her heart, like a deer colliding and jumping.

Not only her, but also Lu Mingyuan.

At this moment, both of their hearts trembled.

I assume that everyone knows the concept of imperial city and palace, but I didn’t expect that some people would argue with me about it and lump it together [helpless]
