Chapter 136 Jin丨Exclusive release by Jiang Wenxue

Tomorrow he will enter the palace, so he must be prepared today.

It is not difficult for the main body, as this is not his first time entering the palace. As long as he is clear-headed, it will not be a big deal.

Liu Yixuan and Yuan Feishuang were much more nervous. Xu Qingrong

was very nervous, and asked someone to make new clothes overnight. He grabbed his nephew and told him about some things in the palace, but he became more and more worried. In the end, he kept him here with him. It seemed that they would talk until very late before they could fall asleep.

Xu Qingrong was very young when he entered the palace, and he did not leave any children. This child of his sister is his only blood in the world, and he watched him grow up, so it is not an exaggeration to say that he is his own son.

He complained, "I really don't know what he was thinking. He actually wanted to send you to the emperor."

Liu Yixuan was dumb and couldn't answer the emperor's questions. If he lost his manners and upset the emperor, wouldn't it be more trouble than it was worth?

Liu Yixuan blinked and smiled obediently.

The more obedient he was, the more worried Xu Qingrong became. She poked his forehead hard and said, "You too, you didn't know how to refuse and just agreed to it."

Liu Yixuan took his hand, tugged it flatteringly, and wrote on his palm: You have to see the emperor anyway.

Xu Qingrong sighed: "You don't understand the disputes in the court. Several people in power in the court seem to be amiable, but they are more terrifying than man-eating tigers. I have been in the court many times, and I dare not offend anyone, but I also know that if I don't stand on the side, I will die faster. But now the situation is unclear. Prime Minister Cai and Zhuge Zhengwo are competing against each other. Even if I have to choose, I should choose between the two of them."

Liu Yixuan curled his lips.

"Don't be unconvinced. Now Lord Tong seems to have a good relationship with Prime Minister Cai, but if Zhuge Zhengwo falls, do you think he can still get along with Prime Minister Cai like he does now?"

Liu Yixuan shook his head.

Xu Qingrong's face was full of worry: "If Zhuge Shenhou wins, Tong Guan will be liquidated together with Cai Jing, what will you do then?"

Liu Yixuan squeezed on him and stretched out his hands to hug his uncle.

Xu Qingrong suddenly thought that his nephew had been staying in the machine room, and he had never told him about the things in the court, which made him take a wrong step. The future is still a long way off, and talking about this now should scare him.

He patted his nephew's thin back soothingly: "Okay, let's not talk about this. There must be a way when the car reaches the mountain, not to mention I am here, let's talk about tomorrow's things."

Liu Yixuan took his hand and wrote: Will you go?

Xu Qingrong: "Although I work in the palace, I am only a small official of the fifth rank. I can only run errands outside and see the emperor a few times occasionally, but I cannot serve the emperor. When the time comes, you will follow Master Tong and obey his orders."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Xu Qingrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Prime Minister Cai... Don't steal his limelight."

Liu Yixuan pointed at himself and made a thin sound: "Ah."

Xu Qingrong smiled and said, "Our Yixuan is extraordinary, even if she can't speak, it's enough for people to see at a glance. The emperor prefers beauties, and the ministers in the court are all handsome. With your appearance, just standing there is enough."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

Xue Chen: [Who do you think is better looking, Xiaofen or Xiaoliu?]

System: [Both are androgynous. Xiaoliu looks like a girl and doesn't look out of place in women's clothing. Xiaofen still looks like a man. Xiaoliu has a well-proportioned body and a slim figure, which makes her look more harmonious. Xiaofen is a little awkward, but her temperament is complex and can be savored. She has a very special flavor.]

Xue Chen: [You're talking about it in such detail? I always feel like you've done a lot of things behind my back.]

System: [No!]

Xu Qingrong: "Although you can't steal their limelight, don't act too inconspicuous. You must first protect yourself and not offend anyone, and then compete for the attention of the government."

Liu Yixuan nodded.

The uncle and nephew chatted until very late, and Xu Qingrong let him rest.

Not long after Liu Yixuan fell asleep, Yuan Feishuang was woken up by someone.

Yuan Feishuang was very concerned about his private space. After being woken up, he had a gloomy face, turned his hands into claws, dragged the person to his side, pinched the other person's neck, and said softly: "Who let you in?" The person

who came was just an ordinary helper in the six and a half halls. He was not good at martial arts and was usually only responsible for doing some work to serve people. He could feel Yuan Feishuang's gentleness. The hand that pinched his neck did not restrain the strength at all.

He said fearfully: "Yes, hall master..."

Yuan Feishuang threw him aside: "Don't make an example next time. You are not allowed to enter my room in the future. Do you hear me?"

The helper knelt on the ground: "Yes."

Yuan Feishuang said softly: "Get lost."

System: [Synchronization rate +2%, current vest synchronization rate 40%, can use 5 skill points. 】

Xue Chen: [Just in time, add it to the internal force. 】

Five skill points raised [Internal Force] to the maximum level. Yuan Feishuang's internal force and grappling skills have reached the maximum level. Although he does not have many means to deal with the enemy, they are enough. As long as he does not meet the top martial arts figures in this world, he has the strength to fight.

[I am so sleepy. Xiaofen has not slept enough. ] Yuan Feishuang yawned, his eyes were hazy.

He leaned against the bedpost and squinted for a while before getting up and putting on his clothes.

The silver-red robe was produced by the system. The quality is not bad. It has not been pulled after washing once, and the stains on it are easy to clean.

It is estimated that according to Yuan Feishuang's settings, this is the clothes he has been wearing when he was in the snow mountain. Like Lu Xiaofeng's cloak, it is a signature item.

Yuan Feishuang straightened his sleeves, took the jade belt to tie up his waist, and chose a red crystal hairpin that was completely clear and without impurities to tie up his hair.

He looked in front of the mirror for a while, making sure that he had tidied up, and then went to see Di Feijing with dissatisfaction.

It was still dark, and Di Feijing got up early and sat at the entrance of the hall. When he heard the footsteps, his lowered head moved slightly.

"Brother." Yuan Feishuang walked over slowly and said angrily: "Why did you send someone to my room? Don't you know I was sleeping? How can you meet people with your clothes disheveled and your face unwashed?"

"Cowardly." Di Fei stood up in surprise: "The Prime Minister asked you to go over. It's getting late. Let's go."

"Brother, you are so unreasonable. How can this be called cowardly? Would you meet people without wearing an outer robe?"

"Junior brother, such a god-like person, even if he hasn't cleaned up and washed, he is still handsome and extraordinary, how can he be ashamed to show his face to others?" Di Fei sighed and explained, "I was just afraid that you would sleep too deeply and the Prime Minister was urging you to wake up, so I sent someone to wake you up."

"It's not okay even if you praise me." Yuan Feishuang insisted, "I don't care, it's all senior brother's fault. If there is a next time, I will kill him directly and let senior brother remember it."

Di Fei was shocked: "I was wrong. I was not clear-headed late at night, so I did such an offensive thing. Please forgive me, junior brother."

Yuan Feishuang asked curiously, "Senior brother, how do you rest at night?"

Di Fei was shocked: "Of course, like an ordinary person. "

Yuan Feishuang thought about it, and couldn't imagine what Di Feijing looked like when he was sleeping. He also felt that asking such a question was a bit offensive to his senior brother, so he walked forward and whispered: "Actually, I'm afraid that others will see that place of mine..."

Di Feijing was stunned. Yuan Feishuang's disability was completely different from his, so it was understandable that he had some concerns. He said: "Junior brother, don't worry too much. With me here, no one in the building dares to embarrass you."

"I also know that no one will be so blatant, but I know that I am different from others, and I feel uncomfortable." Yuan Feishuang said, "Okay, I seldom talk about this with others, and senior brother is not allowed to tell others."

Di Feijing: "Okay."

Yuan Feishuang: "Let's go. "

The people from the Prime Minister's Mansion had been waiting outside in a carriage for a long time. Di Feijing shouldn't have gone, but he couldn't bear to leave his junior brother behind, so he wanted to see him off, and followed him into the carriage.

Yuan Feishuang had no awareness that he was about to meet the emperor. He looked around and said, "The Prime Minister's carriage is much better than the sedan chair I took when I came here."

Di Feijing: "Junior brother."

Yuan Feishuang smiled gently: "Hmm?"

Di Feijing: "Don't be naughty after entering the palace, and don't conflict with others."

Yuan Feishuang said unhappily: "Brother, why do you always want to teach me a lesson? It's not me who wants to conflict with others. It's obviously others who bullied me, so I fought back. If my brother doesn't care about me, it's my fault now. "

System: [Synchronization rate +1. Xiaofen and Xiaoliu are really completely different.]

Xue Chen: [My acting is good, right?]

System: [Great improvement! To be honest, I can't tell that it's acting.]

Xue Chen: [I didn't provoke you, why did you suddenly scold me?!]

System: [?]

Di Feijing has lived for more than 20 years and has never encountered such a difficult character.

He can't beat him, and he can't scold him. He is his only junior brother, and he is disabled, sensitive and delicate. He is young and has little experience in the world, but he is very smart. No matter what you say to him, he has his own set of words.

Di Feijing can only coax him.

He said weakly: "How can I not care about you?"

Yuan Feishuang: "You always think I will do bad things. "

Di Fei was shocked: "I'm worried about you, afraid that you don't know the truth and fall into someone else's trap."

Yuan Feishuang: "Brother, I'm not a fool. "

Di Fei was shocked but there was nothing he could do.

He could only pray that Cai Jing had a sharp eye and could see through his junior brother's gentle expression to his inner self and discipline him more.

Otherwise, Yuan Feishuang had an argument with someone in the palace and attacked without saying anything... It didn't matter if the person being beaten was of low status, but what if the person beaten by Yuan Feishuang was a prince or even the emperor himself, then they would all be finished! When

the carriage arrived at the prime minister's residence, Yuan Feishuang got up and got off the car without saying a word, and walked into Cai Jing's residence without looking back.

Di Fei was shocked and realized only now that this junior brother was probably angry just now, but he looked gentle when he was angry, and he didn't even notice it.

Di Fei also got off the carriage and stood in front of the prime minister's residence for a while.

The guards asked, "Master Di, aren't you going in? "

Di Fei was surprised: "No."

Yuan Feishuang walked away, and the door of the mansion was closed. Di Fei turned around and lowered his head, silently returning to Liufenbantang.

When Yuan Feishuang came over, Cai Jing had just gotten up. He rinsed his mouth with the hand of a maid and spit into the spittoon beside him. Another maid came forward, wiped his mouth for him, and then left.

System: [The row of people just now, don't they have their own division of labor?]

Xue Chen: [Have you heard a story? There was a cook who used to work in Cai Jing's mansion, and later Cai Jing quit her job and married a scholar. The scholar asked her to make dumplings, but she said she couldn't. 】

System: [Isn't she a cook? 】

Xue Chen: [She only cuts green onions in the kitchen and doesn't have to worry about anything else. 】

System: [What a leisurely job...]

Xue Chen: [So the people of the Song Dynasty were relatively happy compared to other dynasties, and there were more jobs than in other dynasties. 】

System: [...]

After Cai Jing wiped his hands, he looked at Yuan Feishuang: "You are here, come and sit down."

Yuan Feishuang was not polite at all and sat on the right side of Cai Jing. He said affectionately: "Prime Minister, I am sleepy. "

System: [Synchronization rate +1%, why?]

Xue Chen: [Test Yuan Feishuang's attitude towards the powerful and wealthy. It seems that he doesn't care about power at all. This is the best. After entering the palace, I can be more casual.]

System: [Aren't you casual enough usually?!]

Cai Jing did a lot of bad things, but he looked kind on the surface. He was like a kind elder. He didn't care about Yuan Feishuang's rudeness at all. Instead, he seemed to be very pleased. He ordered the servants, "Go get a basin of clean water to wake up Master Yuan."

Xue Chen: [What kind of capitalist is this?]

The maid brought the clean water over, and Yuan Feishuang didn't have to do it himself. Two girls wiped his face and hands, and massaged several acupoints. The sleepiness quickly dissipated.

Then someone brought a cup of strong tea and said softly, "Master Yuan, please have some tea. "

Yuan Feishuang took the tea, took a small sip, and frowned: "It's so bitter."

Cai Jing smiled and said: "This tea is the best Longjing tea before the rain. It is specially brewed so strong and is specially used to refresh you. Are you still sleepy now?"

Yuan Feishuang shook his head: "No longer."

He tasted a bit of sweetness and took another small sip.

Cai Jing: "Didn't you sleep well yesterday?"

Yuan Feishuang: "I've always been a light sleeper. I woke up early today. I wanted to take a nap on the way, but my senior brother kept nagging me."

Cai Jing: "He cares about you, too."

Yuan Feishuang snorted softly.

Cai Jing ordered someone to bring some snacks over. After eating a few pieces for breakfast, he took Yuan Feishuang out.

They were about to arrive at the imperial city, and Xu Qingrong led Liu Yixuan to find Tong Guan.

Xue Chen: [It's not easy to be a favorite minister. You say, what's the difference between these people competing for favor in front of Zhao Ji and competing for favor with the concubines in the harem? ]

System: [There is no difference! ]

Xue Chen: [Woo woo. ]

System: [When

will you get up? ] Xue Chen: [Can I get up whenever I want? I haven't woken up yet! You said that all consciousness now can be regarded as a dream. You can think in the dream, but it will not affect the reality. I can't get up. I can't get up at all. 】

System: [……]

Cai Jing never mentioned along the way what to do with Yuan Feishuang. He just told all the emperor's preferences.

As the most favored person of the emperor, Zhao Ji would consult him for anything. He spent more time with Zhao Ji than the women in the harem.

No one knows Zhao Ji better than Cai Jing. The lessons Cai Jing gave to Yuan Feishuang were all solid stuff, without any water.

After hearing what he said about Zhao Ji, Yuan Feishuang suddenly felt that the factions in the court were clearly divided. He knew who was the enemy and who was the friend. He naturally understood his position.

Cai Jing said amiably, "Whether you can catch the emperor's eye depends on this one move. You must seize the opportunity."

Yuan Feishuang seemed to have some concerns and did not answer immediately.

Cai Jing: "What?"

Yuan Feishuang: "I am disabled. If I stay with the emperor, won't I be regarded as a eunuch?"

Cai Jing laughed and said, "So what if I am a eunuch? You have never been to the palace and have never seen a truly powerful person. When you see it with your own eyes, you will understand that whether you are respected or not has never been determined by whether you are healthy or disabled, but by your position. As long as you stand high enough, countless people will naturally crawl at your feet."

Yuan Feishuang was silent.

The carriage arrived in front of the palace gate. Cai Jing came out from inside, stood on the ground, and stretched out his hand to Yuan Feishuang: "Come on, I'll take you in."

Yuan Feishuang hesitated, stretched out his hand under Cai Jing's encouraging eyes, followed his strength to leave the dark carriage, and was exposed to the morning sun.

Cai Jing pointed to the rooftops in the distance and said from the bottom of his heart: "Look at the snow, how beautiful it is."

-

"Brother, it's time to get up." Gong Jiu raised his hand and touched Xue Chen's forehead to make sure the temperature was normal. He ordered Xiao He to bring clothes over, and then pushed his arm: "It's getting late, it's time to get ready to go."

Xue Chen opened his eyes and met his brother's gaze: "What time is it?"

Gong Jiu: "It's almost Chenshi."

Xue Chen: [It's not even seven o'clock yet! ]

System: [It's OK, isn't this much better than Xiaofen's? ]

Xue Chen: [But it's very cold outside the quilt. ]

He slowly came out of the quilt, and Gong Jiu immediately put on thick clothes for him. The inside of the clothes was warm and there was no coolness at all.

Xue Chen sat up and put on his boots, looking outside: "Has the snow melted?"

Gong Jiu: "It's cold today, the snow hasn't melted, it seems to have snowed again last night, and it's thicker than yesterday. Brother, put on more clothes, be careful not to catch a cold."

Xue Chen was dressed neatly, this time he was wearing the style of a county duke.

County duke is a second-rank title, and those above the fifth rank can wear red. It snowed heavily today, and Xiao He brought him a red court robe with a gold thread embroidered with round patterns, which looked very luxurious and eye-catching.

Xue Chen looked at himself, then looked at Gong Jiu: "Why aren't you wearing anything?"

Gong Jiu: "I'm just the prince, and I haven't taken the title yet, so I just need to wear casual clothes."

Xue Chen: "No, you have to come with me. Xiao He, go get clothes for the prince."

Xiao He went to get the same clothes, and Xue Chen forced his brother to put them on. He also picked out a golden belt for him, tied it, and put on jade pendants and various accessories.

Gong Jiu saw that his elder brother was very interested and couldn't bear to interrupt him. He let him do it with a cold face.

Xue Chen dressed up his younger brother and said with a smile: "Now when we go out, no one will dare to recognize us."

Gong Jiu's expression eased a little: "Yeah."

Xiao He brought a black cloak and put it on Xue Chen. She reminded: "Don't play around outside, young master, and don't take off your thick clothes because you are inconvenient to move."

Xue Chen: [She knows me so well! 】

System: [Are you a child? Are you really going to do this? 】

Xue Chen: [But it's snowing heavily outside, who wouldn't be moved when seeing this. And this time you're playing with my brother, you can't just let me sit in the house and watch, right? 】

Gong Jiu took out a purple clay sleeve stove and stuffed it into Xue Chen's hand.

Someone from the front yard came over: "Young Master, Prince, the prince has been waiting in front for a long time. When can the two young masters pack up?"

Xiao He said, "That's good."

Xue Chen put on the hat on his cloak, walked behind Gong Jiu, and went outside with him.

There was also a thick layer of snow in the garden of the palace. There were a few withered chrysanthemums that had not yet withered, revealing their gorgeous colors through the white snow.

In such a white world, Xue Chen and Gong Jiu, who were wearing red clothes, were also very conspicuous.

Xue Chen clenched the hand warmer: "You didn't seem to tell me yesterday that daddy would go with us."

Gong Jiu looked ahead: "I forgot."

His memory has always been good. He could even memorize all the unimportant forces on the nameless island, but he forgot to tell his brother that his father would go to the palace with him.

Xue Chen knew very well that he was avoiding the matter about King Taiping. He promised Gong Jiu that he would not force him anymore. He stopped there and did not ask any more questions.

The two came to the front yard side by side.

King Taiping saw his two sons in scarlet robes, his eyes lit up, and then he became suspicious.

Normally, the two children were easy to recognize because they were dressed differently. But now, one was covered in gold and jade pendants, and the other was wearing a black cloak, so it was not easy to recognize them.

Xue Chen took the initiative to speak: "Dad."

King Taiping breathed a sigh of relief: "My son is really handsome, and he is not inferior to those princes and grandchildren in the palace."

Gong Jiu said coldly: "We are grandchildren of the king."

King Taiping: "Yes, Dad is wrong."

Xue Chen looked at his brother with a warning.

Today is different from the past. It is the day to enter the palace to meet the emperor, which is related to the future of the two children. Prince Taiping was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so he quickly diverted his eldest son's attention: "Have you packed everything? Is Chen'er cold?"

Xue Chen smiled and said, "No, I just haven't eaten anything and I'm a little hungry."

Prince Taiping: "It's okay. There are some preserved fruits, dried meats, and snacks in the carriage. You can use some of them to fill your stomach. After entering the palace, Dad will ask the official to get some food."

Xue Chen and Gong Jiu entered the carriage at the back.

Gong Jiu lit a fire in the carriage to boil water, took out the snacks in the box, and heated them up next to the stove.

Xue Chen: [Xiao Liu and Xiao Fen entered the palace for palace fighting, and my brother and I entered the palace for a picnic.]

System: [I thought Cai Jing was favored by the emperor, but now it seems that everything was done by him. Your father is really standing up straight. 】

Xue Chen: 【Xiao Ting, where is my Xiao Ting?】

Xue Chen said, controlling Pei Rui to touch the couch, and felt relieved when he touched the puppy's belly. He covered the puppy with a quilt, touched it around, tucked it down, and exposed the puppy's head.

Xiao Ting hummed and rolled over comfortably. It put its four paws on Pei Rui's waist and stretched out its body while stepping on him.

Xue Chen: 【Xiao Ting is so cute!】

System: 【Mmmmm, yes.】

Pei Rui was afraid that it would lack oxygen in the quilt, so he continued to tuck in the quilt for it in Xiao Ting's current position.

Xue Chen: 【The quilt is too small, and I feel a chill on my back.】

System: 【Why don't you get up and give your place to Xiao Ting. Pei Rui

sat up from the bed, and Xiao Ting followed him out of the quilt and jumped into his lap, wagging his tail and spinning around, occasionally making cute puppy whimpers.

Pei Rui touched its tail and pressed it hard, and Xiao Ting happily turned around to lick his hand.

Xue Chen: [It won’t work at all. After I got up, Xiao Ting also got up. We still have to change to a bigger quilt.]

System: [Go tell Zhui Ming!]

Xue Chen: [Play with Xiao Ting for a while and then I’ll go.]

System: [Okay.]
