White Moonlight of Powerful Officials at large

His Royal Highness King Rui actually hid it from Xie's eyes and ears, raised an outer room under their noses, and even asked the outer room to give birth to the eldest son.

Princess Rui Xie Ying was so heartbroken that she couldn't afford to fall ill.

The patriarch of the Xie Clan, Xie Changyuan, the chief assistant who had almost been half hidden in the court, was furious, and even Emperor Jiahe sent King Rui to the Imperial Study to reprimand him.

I don't know if it made Emperor Jiahe unhappy because of this incident. It was rumored that the Concubine Xian would be made a noble concubine. However, the birth mother of the fourth prince Chu Heng was promoted to a position. Although there is no strong support from the mother family, Still the mother is more expensive than the child, and she is promoted to one of the four concubines.

There was an undercurrent in the court for a while.

The courtiers who were optimistic about King Rui before had their own considerations.King Rui lost Jiangnan first, and later angered Xie. Losing the wealthy Jiangnan is like cutting off his left arm. If he loses Xie's support this time, it will be more than just cutting off his right arm. .

After all, that Princess Rui is not a serious daughter of the Xie family, and Xie Changyuan is also known for his eccentric temper, which does not play cards according to the usual rules. What if he abandons King Rui in a fit of anger and supports other princes instead?

"Hey..." In front of the Jinluan Hall, the white-haired veteran who had just retired from the court sighed, and asked the people around him, "There will be a banquet at Prince Rui's mansion tomorrow, are you going?"

The person beside him also sighed, "What about you?"

King Rui called it a banquet, but he actually tested people's hearts to see how many people had turned against him and how many people were shaken.

The two looked at each other, and they both caught helplessness and sadness in each other's eyes.

If the East Palace is not established, people will feel uneasy.

But for all the veteran officials in the court, who knows why Emperor Jiahe didn't establish the East Palace for so long?

Emperor Jiahe and the empress were young couples with a deep relationship. Before the empress gave birth to an heir, the Emperor Jiahe's harem had been vacant to prevent someone from taking the word "chang" in his eldest son.

Emperor Jiahe wholeheartedly hoped that the empress would give birth to his eldest son, who would be crowned as the crown prince and inherit the great land he had single-handedly created.

The courtiers also looked forward to the birth of the eldest son of the empress.Born in the middle palace, His Majesty is the biological father, the empress is the biological mother, the patriarch of the Xie family is the grandfather, and there is also a general uncle with great military exploits. He will definitely be the most honorable and stable crown prince in the history of Dayin!
such a pity……

23 years ago, the empress gave birth to a child, which was highly anticipated and expected by the people, but it is a pity...

It's a princess.

In the early years, Emperor Jiahe had been waiting for the empress to give birth to another son for him, but when Princess Zhaohe was born, the empress was injured at the root, and the offspring was difficult, and many famous doctors and medicines were used, but there was no improvement.

After waiting for a few years, Emperor Jiahe began to fill the harem under pressure, and only then did the princes be born.

It's just that the princes have it, but Emperor Jiahe never mentions the matter of opposing the East Palace.

Could it be... are you still waiting?
The two veterans looked at each other again, shaking their heads and sighing at the same time.

If this continues, Dayin's world will inevitably change!

At this time, the atmosphere in Prince Rui's Mansion was certainly not pleasant.

King Rui's confidants wished to bow down and calm down the raging anger of the superior.

"How could it be possible for Chu Heng to find out about this matter? Has it not been found out who tipped off the news?" King Rui slapped the table, his pretty face was almost ferocious.

The people below were silent.

How to check this?You have a concubine, and our group of diehards have kept it secret, who knows how the Fourth Highness found out!
"Where are the rumors in the market? Does anyone dare to talk nonsense?!" King Rui said again, "It's just raising a woman. This king is the son of the emperor. What kind of woman can't be raised? Everyone makes a fuss and fears that the world will not be chaotic!"

You also said that you are the son of the emperor. Wouldn't it be good for the son of the emperor to discuss with Miss Xie and bring her back to the mansion?If you insist on making such a face-threatening incident, provoke criticism and hurt your peace...

But this question was answered by someone: "Your Highness, the people are talking more now about the matter of the son of the Duke's mansion raising a foreign room. This time, the son of the prince has blocked an arrow for you." .”

King Rui smiled "heh": "You mean I have to thank him? Don't think I don't know what people say! It's ungrateful for me to raise a concubine, but he has a deep affection for raising a concubine. What? As a son, how can his status be more valuable than mine?!"

Still not giving up trying to persuade King Rui and Pei You's staff: "..."

"Chu Heng dared to make such a big mess for this king, so don't blame this king for disregarding brotherhood!" King Rui finally calmed down, and said with a dark face, "My lord, last time you said that someone handed you letter, to sue Chu Heng for betraying his position?"

At Xu time, a group of talented people quietly left from Prince Rui's Mansion one after another under the cover of night.

Along the way, Shen Gaolan specially made the carriage go slower.

There is a thought that has been floating in his mind for several months, and it is more clear today.

It is difficult for King Rui to take on the big task.

Although he has the support of his mother clan who is not bad, and has such a strong backer as the Xie family, but this person's heart is not even one of the top ten of Emperor Jiahe.

No wonder after he married Xie Ying, there are still many forces in the court willing to support Chu Heng. I'm afraid... they have long seen through his incompetence and would rather gamble on Chu Heng.

But he can't afford to gamble!

He was a white man, and Ji Jiying had climbed to such a position. One of his two sons was in the Imperial Academy, and the other had just made military exploits. The future is limitless. He must not lose everything just because he made a wrong step!

At the beginning, he shouldn't have believed Liang's instigation. What can an ignorant woman and child know?
Shen Gaolan sighed regretfully.

I hope it's still too late to look back.

He stopped the carriage, called his confidants to come in, took out the letter that had been in his sleeve for several days, and said in a low voice: "Send this letter to the Duke's mansion, and you must hand it to Prince Pei yourself."
-
The court situation seemed to become tense overnight.

Before that, everyone knew that the successor of Datong in the future would be either King Rui or the fourth prince. After all, the fifth prince who was next down was only two years old this year.

But Jia and the emperor are still considered healthy, and they always treat the two princes equally, but before the new year's banquet, Xianfei was appointed as the empress, and there were rumors that Xianfei was going to be made a noble concubine, which made people unable to help but speculate.The two princes were apparently brothers and sisters, and there was no blatant rift between them.

But recently, the two have reported each other, and there is a hint of war.

Of course, the scramble in the imperial court is too far away for the common people.What they are more willing to talk about is still those gossips that are slightly peachy, embarrassing, and easy to resonate with.

For example, Pei Shizi bought a lot of rare treasures for the outer room to win a smile on his face.

For example, Pei Shizi's outer room seems to be the fiancée he has been looking for for many years.

For example, Mrs. Shizi knew about this, had a big fight with Shizi, and went back to her mother's house angrily.

Mr. Wen and Miss Youyou once again became hot topics of discussion in the streets and alleys.It's a pity that last time the two hit it off and tied the knot, but this time there was an unforeseen event, and the man had an unexpected white moonlight. This couple, who had been envied for several months, fell apart.

It wasn't until Wen Ning returned to Wen's residence that she realized that she was impulsive.

In her previous life, she married into the Shen family, suffered so many grievances and yet knew to report the good and not the bad, and never told her family about her real situation so as not to worry them.

But this time, she was so dizzy that she completely forgot to go home and let her family know that she was really at odds with Pei You, so she packed her things and ran back non-stop.

Before dinner, Wen Ning was still thinking about what to say so that Wen Tingchun could accept that she might be divorced from Pei You. She didn't want Wen Tingchun to sit down and give her a chopstick of her favorite dish: "I'm not having a good time. Just come back, big deal, make peace with him."

Wen Lan almost dropped her chopsticks.

Wen Tingchun glared at him: "Your sister has been bullied to the point of view. What are you going to do with Discord! What about his government? I'm just such a daughter, even if he is the king of heaven, I can't bully him!"

Wen Ning's eye circles suddenly turned red.

She was wrong, and in her previous life, she was wrong again.

She is always worried that they will be worried and embarrassed when they know her situation, but they are also her most solid backing.If she told the truth about the situation in the Shen family and asked Wen Tingchun to take her back to the Wen residence, at least the whole family could stay together during the most difficult days of the Wen family.

Wen Lan obviously misunderstood the tears in her eyes, frowned and gave Wen Ning a piece of food: "Li! Come back, big brother will support you!"

Wen Ning stayed in Wen's mansion just like that, no one asked what happened to her and Pei You, let alone what happened to Pei You's outer room.

She lived in Xiangti Garden, which she was familiar with, as if she had never been out of the pavilion.

In the past two days, there were too many rumors about her and Pei You in Beijing, so she didn't go out, and drew a picture by herself, preparing to embroider a big job to pass the time.

On the third day, Wen Qi came back.

Wen Qi was not there on the day she returned to Wen's residence, probably because of rumors that she knew she had gone home, so she came back specially to see her.

This second elder brother was never easy to get rid of, Wen Ning thought that he would cross-examine her, Pei You and the outside room, but he sat down and stared at her meaningfully: "A Ning, I'm going to Wutong Lane. "

Wen Qi came directly to Xiangti Garden, Wen Ning asked Linglan to wait outside, and there were only two brothers and sisters in the room.

Wen Ning was taken aback when she heard this.

Wen Qi said again: "I saw Pei You's outer room."

Wen Ning paused when she was about to pour tea for him, but when she withdrew her hand that had just touched the teapot, she lowered her eyes subconsciously, avoiding Wen Qi's gaze.

"Pei You arranged a lot of people there." Wen Qi continued, "But they probably all know me, and they were not surprised to see me, and they didn't stop me."

Wen Ning didn't look at Wen Qi, but Wen Qi kept staring at Wen Ning: "Ah Ning, do you think it's a coincidence or an accident, that girl looks somewhat similar to you."

Wen Ning grabbed the sachet by her side and lowered her eyebrows even lower.

"In the past, I only knew that the son was looking for someone, but he didn't pay attention to who he was looking for." Wen Qi's eyebrows were deep, as if he had seen through Wen Ning, "This time this person is closely related to my sister, so I went to find out more, only to see that the son was looking for someone back then." I knew the person he was looking for, I knew him when I was young, I lived in a poor area in the west of the city, I lost contact when I was about ten years old, and disappeared.”

"Ah Ning, Wen Lan and I were bastards when you were young. We were ignorant and didn't like to take you with us." Wen Qi stared at Wen Ning's expression motionlessly, "Every time we went out, we would change into shabby clothes. I told you that if someone asks, you can tell me that you live in the west of the city, which is a slum area, and others know that there is no profit, so they will not play your crooked ideas."

"When you were nine years old, you stopped pestering us and always proudly said that a little brother would take you to play. We asked, but you pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything."

"You were caught by your father when you were ten years old, and you haven't left the house since then."

Wen Qi paused for a while, and the room became so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, as if even Wen Ning's shallow breathing became clear

"A Ning." After a long while, Wen Qi spoke again, "It has been spread in the capital that Pei You's outer room was accidentally amnesiac and couldn't remember his identity, so he delayed getting to know the prince."

"But..." Wen Qi paused again, and looked at Wen Ning with deep eyes, "A Ning, you might as well tell me the truth, who is the person Pei Shizi has been looking for?"

Wen Ning's long eyelashes twitched slightly.

She knew...she knew that her second brother was difficult to deal with, but she didn't expect that he could see through everything.

"Second brother." Wen Ning's hand holding the sachet turned to grab Wen Qi's sleeve, "You and eldest brother...can you keep it a secret for me?"

There was a little water in her eyes: "Don't mention this matter in front of Pei You."

Wen Qi frowned slightly, looked at his younger sister with half puzzlement and half understanding, and murmured: "No wonder... no wonder..."

No wonder he was so abnormally "close" to Pei You.

No wonder there are so many abnormalities with Pei You.

No wonder they came and went, and finally married Pei You.

Wen Qi sighed and stood up: "Ah Ning, my elder brother and I will not say anything more about what you don't want to say. The second brother is the same as before, and doesn't ask you so much, but the second brother wants you to figure it out... ..."

Wen Qi looked into Wen Ning's eyes: "What exactly do I want?"

After finishing speaking, he gently rubbed Wen Ning's head, turned and left.

It was already night when Wen Qi came. After he left, Wen Ning took a bath and sat on the couch in a daze.

What exactly does she want?

It was clear before.

She wants to stay far away from Pei You, and never walk the old path of her previous life; she wants to rewrite the fate of the Wen family's suffering, so that both the elder brother and the second brother have a happy ending; she wants to live more freely and freely, and no longer be bound by those invisible constraints Trapped hands and feet.

She did many things, but one thing... ran counter to it.

She and Pei You couldn't tell when it started, they got closer and closer, and sometimes...she felt closer than they did in their last life.

This awareness made her a little scared and even more uneasy.

Since when did she start to think about things from his point of view and want to help him?
She heard that he kept an outer room, and when she saw him and Fan Yinyin arguing at the gate of the Duke's Mansion, was she really as calm as in her previous life, without any changes?
Wen Ning felt a headache, very annoying.

Just at this time, the window by the outer courtyard rang twice.

She subconsciously thought it was Wen Qi.In the past, Wen Qi talked to her about some things about the wine shop, and he was too lazy to go through the main door, so he knocked on the window and had a few words with her.

When I opened the window in the past, I suddenly remembered that someone was a master at climbing over walls.

But because of his headache, she closed the window with a snap.

The window didn't ring again, but after a while, there was some movement in the yard.

Wen Ning put on her shoes and stayed on the bed, just when she stood up, she heard Linglan shout in surprise from outside: "Master?"

Then came Pei You's condensed voice: "Go out."

Wen Ning didn't expect that he would dare to break into her Xiangti Garden directly, she picked it up and walked outside, only a few steps before she saw someone had entered the room.

Looking at each other, both of them were startled.

Since the quarrel on the Lantern Festival, the two have hardly met each other seriously, not to mention the last time they bumped into each other in front of the mansion, Wen Ning didn't even want to look at him at that time.

At this moment, the lights in the room are sufficient, and the brows and eyes of the future man are clearly outlined, and even the night dew stained on the hair can be seen clearly.

Wen Ning breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak, but Pei You raised her eyebrows, staring at her with dark eyes: "What? Why don't you come to visit your wife late at night?"
