Extra: Favorite(1/3)
Yun Duqing felt that he was the kindest and most understanding prince ever. He was afraid that the fourth brother would be locked in the sect’s heavenly prison alone, so his third brother also sent him in and thoughtfully arranged the third brother’s cell next to the fourth brother.
However, Yun Yanze, who already knew everything, did not welcome this new neighbor.
The two brothers who were no longer in the scenery sat across the wall, looking at each other with nothing but hatred.
"You deliberately copied Ming Jiuzhu's paintings for me to use me?"
"Whoever makes you stupid will be fooled so easily." King Jing mocked him: "I originally wanted to use more means to make you take the bait. I never thought that my good fourth brother, who is both civil and military, couldn't wait to pick it into the pit, not even use bait."
"The third brother doesn't have to laugh at me. I've been so glorious at all, where are you?" Even though Yun Yanze was in a down-and-out position, he still maintained the elegance in his bones: "From childhood, you are not as talented as me, your martial arts skills are not as good as the boss, your appearance is not as good as Yun Duqing, and even your likable personality is not as good as the second. Although you are successful and defeated, even if you lose, no one will look at you a few more times."
"Stop!" King Jing's facial features were twisted, like a monster crawling out of hell: "So what if you are both civil and military, if you are Pan An? Sun Caiyao did not encourage the Sun family for you to achieve your heroic career. Instead, Yun Duqing, whom you looked down upon, married Ming Jiuzhu, who treated him wholeheartedly, and finally even the Ming family became his help."
He used to think that the Ming family was not satisfied with this royal marriage, so he was picky about Yun Duqing, his son-in-law, and his attitude was so bad that even officials of the Ministry of Rites could not stand it.
It was not until Yun Duqing got married to Ming Jiuzhu that Yun Duqing often accompanied Ming Jiuzhu back to Ming's house that he realized that the Ming family would abandon their daughter for the sake of family reputation, and the Ming family disliked Yun Duqing's coldness. All of this was done by the Ming family for outsiders to see.
What he should have thought of long ago is that with his father's attention to Yun Duqing, Ruoming's family's source embarrassment, how could he be promoted to Ming Jingzhou as Count before the two got married?
"But you are a person with no blessings. If Sun Caiyao was asked to marry Yun Duqing, you would be the one who took Ming Jiuzhu, and the Ming family would support you. Maybe you would be the one who became the prince now." Seeing Yun Yanze's expression suddenly change, King Jing knew that he cared about this matter and felt happier in his heart: "Even God doesn't want to help you, this is your life!"
The conversation between the two brothers ended in the hatred between them.
Yun Yanze ignored King Jing anymore. He lay on the hard brick bed and fell asleep with reluctance and resentment.
"Fourth Prince, your wedding dress is ready, do you want to try it?"
Yun Yanze opened his eyes and saw himself sitting in the palace of Prince Qi, with the palace maids and eunuchs standing beside him, and everyone was respectful and careful.
He wanted to speak, but found that his body was no longer under his control.
"Try it." King Qi looked out the window: "Is the father's health better?"
The eunuch shook his head: "The imperial physician said that when the fifth prince left, his majesty was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. I am afraid... it won't be better."
"The eldest brother plotted to murder his fifth brother, was demoted to a commoner, and was detained in the clan's mansion. My father's health was like this, so I really can't rest assured." The King of Qi looked up at the Shangyi Bureau and came in with a red wedding dress, with a sad face: "Forget it, my father is not healthy. As a prince, I have no intention of trying the wedding dress and taking it down."
"yes."
Yun Yanze saw hypocritical sadness and filial piety on this familiar and unfamiliar face.
Yun Duqing died, and Yun Liu'an was demoted to a commoner?
It turns out that he is dreaming.
Only in the dream will everything he wants to have appear.
The dream continues.
The King of Qi went to the palace to visit the emperor. The once benevolent and clear-headed emperor lay in a daze on the dragon bed, his eyes deep, like an oil lamp that was about to burn out.
His mouth opened and closed, as if he was muttering something.
The King of Qi looked at Liu Zhongbao who was serving him: "Eunuch Liu, what is the father talking about?"
He approached the dragon bed and finally heard clearly what he was saying.
"My son."
He stood up straight, left a few words of concern, and turned around and walked out of the empty Taiyang Palace.
On the way, he accidentally faced Concubine Su, and Concubine Su's voice made him kneel on the bluestone road in a sharp voice.
This woman has gone crazy from the day she lost her child.
The King of Qi was not afraid of her punishment. In fact, the more crazy she was, the more beneficial it was to him.
I don’t know how long I knelt on the ground, but until Concubine Su left, he slowly got up from the ground.
"Imperial Concubine is such an excessive amount. Your Highness, you will be married in three days. She is still making things difficult for you!"
"Mother Su felt sad when she lost her child. As a junior, I should understand her feelings." King Qi smiled tolerantly: "Let's go, go back."
When he passed by a jewelry shop in a carriage, he showed a gentle smile on his face: "I have released new jewelry in this shop and sent someone to the girl."
Yun Yanze looked at his face with a sincere smile, and his heart was extremely strange. He had no feelings for Sun Caiyao, so how could he show such a smile?
In amazement, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and he was already standing in the wedding room with red candles shining. Under the candlelight, the word "Double Joy" was particularly gorgeous.
"Your Highness, the auspicious time is coming soon."
The King of Qi walked to the gate of the King of Qi's mansion and saw the sedan chair slowly approaching in the distance. He couldn't help but walk forward a few steps.
"Your Highness, you are the royal bloodline. You must not go down the steps when you welcome the bride. This is not in accordance with the rules."
His feet stopped at the last step.
The sedan chair fell to the ground, and Mrs. Yingxi lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, wore a wedding robe and a phoenix crown, and a dough fan in her hand walked out.
"Mingjiuzhu?" Yun Yanze looked at the girl holding the dragon and phoenix fan and murmured to herself: "How could it be her?"
Suddenly, the girl holding the suffocated turned her head and looked towards him standing. She had eyes that were without emotions and even chill.
No, Ming Jiuzhu is not like this.
In his memory, Ming Jiuzhu was born with a smile in her eyes, and her eyes were bright and bright, and she would not be as cold and ruthless as this...
"His Highness and Miss Ming are overjoyed."
He couldn't help but follow her all the way to the wedding room. Seeing her pulling off the phoenix crown on her own, and a few strands of hair were broken on the hairpin and tassels, he didn't seem to feel the pain.
The round fan embroidered with auspicious patterns of dragons and phoenixes was thrown to the ground by her, and she stepped on her feet with a stern face.
The room was burning his favorite incense. She walked to the incense burner and looked at it for a long time. She picked up the teapot on the table and extinguished the incense. Her dark pupils merged with the night. Even the joyful candles in the room could not illuminate her eyes.
She has the same face as Ming Jiuzhu, but she is so different.
In the wedding hall, the King of Qi was kind and entertaining the guests, as if everyone was praising him as a wise king.
The bustle lasted until dawn, and the energetic King Qi returned to the house and brought the princess who was alone in the empty room to the palace to pay his respects.
"There is the Mingyue Palace over there, you shouldn't go."
"The Imperial Concubine is in charge of the harem and is the most noble woman in the palace. If I don't go to pay my respects, it will be inappropriate."
Ming Jiuzhu's palace outfits are complicated, but perhaps to please the King of Qi, she specially chose very light-colored clothes today.
With wide sleeves passing by, Ming Jiuzhu held the palace maid's hand and walked towards Mingyue Palace without hesitation. She didn't seem to care whether King Qi would agree to her decision.
Yun Yanze saw himself laughing, smiling gently. But he knew that he must be in anger at this moment.
But for the sake of the Ming family's status in the court, he would tolerate it.
He wanted to follow Ming Jiuzhu to Mingyue Palace to take a look, but the picture changed again.
Because the second prince's talent was mediocre and could not assist in the government affairs, countless court officials elected King Qi to temporarily handle the government affairs on behalf of his father.
King Qi repeatedly refused, saying that he was not talented and virtuous.
Yun Yanze stood beside the dragon seat, carefully touched the dragon head above, and sat on it.
The moment he sat down, he felt only the coolness and hardness. Looking around, everyone's expressions were all in sight.
Those who are flattering, pleased, and... those who are restrained in their joys and angers cannot see their thoughts.
Yun Yanze discovered that the Sun family, Chen family, Ming family and the six ministers of the ministers of the country had smiles on their faces, but their smiles were not in their eyes.
But the proud King of Qi did not see through this.
He said that his talent was mediocre, but he could not hide the vigorous ambitions in his eyes.
Yun Yanze finally understood that perhaps his disguise in the eyes of outsiders was not as perfect as he imagined.
Even the dragon chaise under him is no different from other chairs, and it is even a little wide and empty.
Sitting on this, he even had the energy to think about what Ming Jiuzhu was doing at this moment?
The cold and ruthless Ming Jiuzhu is similar to the innocent girl standing next to Yun Duqing and frowning with her head in her arms, as if she only has a skin.
That day in the jewelry shop, he watched her fight with Yun Duqing, thinking she had liked her.
But he didn't like that there was only Yun Duqing in her shiny eyes.
But that is the wife of the fifth brother, what does it have to do with him?
He raised his head again, trying to see the expressions of the courtiers again, but only saw the crescent moon in the night sky.
"I wish the Three Pure Heavenly Lords to come down to the Palace of King Chen to be safe and prosperous, and have great blessings and longevity. I wish to exchange for the rest of my life for His Highness to be peaceful for the rest of my life."
Under the moonlight, Ming Jiuzhu twisted the fragrance in her hand, bowed to the moon, and finally inserted the fragrance in the flowering mint bush, her eyes full of murderous aura.
Yun Yanze suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Just at this moment, she turned her head and looked over, her dark pupils were stained with moonlight.
He looked into her eyes, and even had an illusion that she saw him.
"Miss, this is the peppermint candy sent by Shangshi Bureau."
She took one and put it in her mouth, frowned slightly: "Sister in the Spring Equinox, the sugar tastes wrong."
"What does the lady want to taste like? I'll let the kitchen make it for you."
"No." She shook her head and looked up at the dark night sky: "It doesn't matter anymore."
