Chapter 48 The Second Prince

Another palace lady said softly: "You woke up earlier than usual today. The second young master and the third young lady haven't woken up yet."

When she was young, Murong Yu washed, put on her dress, put on her dress and combed her hair, when she heard the servant girl guarding the courtyard gate shouting joyfully, "My servant please greet the Duke."

"Princess, the Duke has come to see you in person. You should seize the opportunity and keep the Duke here."

"Princess, the Duke has always disliked the Second Young Master and the Third Miss. The servant took them from the back door to play in the garden, and brought them back to you after the Duke leaves, okay?"

"Princess, you go outside to meet the Duke, to show how much you value and depend on him."

The four court ladies did not allow Murong Yu to think about making decisions, so they acted on their own.Two maids of honor helped her to go outside to greet her.

The warm autumn sun shines on the entire courtyard with a faint fragrance of flowers. Dongfang Ding, who is dressed in a wide body and black clothes, strides in from the outside. He is tall and straight, and his face is still handsome and radiant. He is not like an old man in his sixties. He looks younger than the present-day Saint Murong Yangxiao who is about to reach the age of [-].

Murong Yu was a little confused, after so many years, Dongfang must be similar to when he married her back then, but she was too old to look in the bronze mirror.

"Xuan Yi finally came back, I don't want him to have another accident. You go back to the princess mansion right now." Dongfang Ding's words did not contain any emotion, and there was no intention of discussing.

Murong Yu didn't want to live in the Duke's Mansion for a long time, and it's been so many years since the four palace maids persuaded her back and forth, but it's just that these words from Dongfang Ding's mouth pierced her heart.

After Dongfang settled down, the same expressionless Steward Qian followed, with a little respect, and said in a moderate voice: "My son is going to take the scientific examination soon, and I need to study quietly. Please forgive me, princess."

Murong Yu looked at Dongfang Ding's back as he turned and left, his somewhat dull eyes became moist.

Dongfang Ding sent the guards in the mansion to send Murong Yu and his children out of the mansion, and then went to the outskirts of the military camp to inspect.

At noon, remembering that the second prince was said to be very vicious and perverted, he was afraid that Dongfang Xuanyi would be in his hands, and the general had already put the lunch on the table and didn't want to enjoy it, so he rode to the place where the second prince held the banquet.

Let's say that the second prince Murong Feng was ordered by the prince Murong Ming to hold banquets in Bahe and Chang'an Academy's courtyards. Apart from dealing with Ouyang Jinyu, he also wanted to select useful talents from the candidates who were about to participate in the autumn boudoir.

Therefore, in addition to the children of the rich and powerful families in Chang'an, the banquet also invited dozens of juren who came to Chang'an to take the exam.

Many of these juren had relatives who were officials, and they were very excited when they found out the purpose of the banquet from the second prince's mansion openly and secretly, and they were very excited when they learned that the person behind it was the prince.

It turned out that the autumn boudoir scientific examination was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the candidates for the examiners had been determined and announced to the public.The Minister of Rites will be the chief examiner, and each of the other five departments will send one person to be the examiner, plus four celebrities from Chang'an, making a total of ten people.

The daughter of the examiner, Minister of Rites Hou Mu, is the concubine of the crown prince.He is the core figure of the Prince's faction.

When the scientific examination reached the level of the general examination, it was equivalent to thousands of people squeezing across the single-plank bridge at the same time. Most of them fell into the water, and only a very small number of people could pass.

There is such an opportunity only once every three years. If these candidates fail the Jinshi examination, it will take another three years. official position.

They were racking their brains to climb up to Hou Mu, so the crown prince asked the second prince to entertain them and give them a chance to get acquainted.

"If this banquet falls into the eyes of the prince, Qiugui's Jinshi fame will be securely obtained."

"I heard that the prince will not come, and the second prince will host the banquet."

"The second prince has a very good relationship with the prince. As long as you and I can get the praise of the second prince, it will be passed on to the prince, which will impress Mr. Hou. As long as you are really talented in the scientific examination, you will not be buried."

Juren in twos and threes took a walk in the manor to enjoy the scenery, and the content of the chat was related to scientific research.

The tallest building in the center of the manor—the five-story wooden building Zhaixing Pavilion, the viewing platform on the highest floor, Murong Feng, who is both male and female, is wearing a red shirt and a black turban. The unusually handsome young man was joking.

The second prince, Murong Feng, is 23 years old this year, only one year younger than the prince Murong Ming.

Murong Feng's biological mother, Wu Shi, is the concubine sister of Empress Wu.

Back then when Empress Wu was pregnant with Murong Ming, she was still a concubine, because Murong Yangxiao was very lustful, and the Wu people were afraid that she would lose their favor because she would not be able to sleep during pregnancy, so they gave Wushi, who was much prettier than her, to Murong Yangxiao as a concubine.

Wu Shi is a concubine, who was raised by the mistress to be a waste who doesn't understand reason and is not practical.

Unexpectedly, Murong Yangxiao liked such a delicate and simple woman as Wushi, and it didn't take long before he found a way to get the late emperor to confer Wushi as the crown prince and side concubine.

After Wu Clan gave birth to Murong Feng and died, for her sake, Murong Yangxiao hadn't touched a woman for seven to 49 days. Later, when he ascended the throne, he even made her a Concubine De. Until now, the position of Concubine De has been reserved for her. Sealed other women.

Murong Feng has been raised by Empress Wu since he was born.

Empress Wu already had a son and wanted a daughter very much. Murong Feng was raised by Empress Wu as a girl since she was a child, and she wore girl's dresses until she was seven years old.

Murong Feng was very filial to Empress Wu, and listened to Murong Ming's words very much.

When Murong Ming encountered problems that he couldn't solve or would lose face, he handed them over to Murong Feng.

All the dignitaries in Chang'an City know that the second prince Murong Feng is the sword in the hands of the prince Murong Ming. As long as Murong Ming wants to kill, even if it is a god in the sky, Murong Feng will not hesitate to strike.

Murong Feng doesn't have much desire for power, he has been an adult for almost ten years, it doesn't matter if he has never been crowned king by Murong Yangxiao.

He has the prince's mansion in Chang'an, and there are the prince's concubine and several side concubines in the mansion. They have been married for many years and have no children. They spend all day with the handsome man they admire.

The name of this young man in silver shirt was Yan Shishi, he was not in the public eye, and he had no talent, but because he was very handsome, he was brought by Murong Feng's side for nearly a year.
