Chapter 4 Seeing My Brother
That night.
His Majesty the Emperor repeatedly inspected the two small openings in the middle of his palm and suddenly fell asleep in the middle of the night.
Chu Yaoyao, who had been checked for a long time, finally felt relieved. She glanced at the emperor quietly, then looked at him again. After repeated checks, she finally confirmed that the emperor had entered a deep sleep.
Then, such a strange scene appeared in the dim palace.
The man with a gentle sleeping look was lying quietly on the bed, but the next second, the man who was sleeping peacefully suddenly stretched out his right hand and raised it straight like a snake's head.
The girl stood up and thought about how to go home.
How did she travel through time and become a hand? It seems that she just slept and woke up like this. But why did she become a hand after sleeping? Isn't there any chance?
Chu Yaoyao began to look down at herself again, but there was nothing abnormal. Everything seemed so harmonious.
The girl was completely withered. She lowered her hands silently, found the bed, got in silently, and closed her eyes peacefully.
Forget it, she'd better go to bed and talk about anything tomorrow.
It was just dawn when Chu Yaoyao, who was still sleeping, was woken up by a shaking.
She opened her eyes in confusion, and what she saw was the scene of His Majesty the Emperor washing up.
Isn't it right? The chicken hasn't even crowed yet. Do you have to get up and lose your bed? Does the emperor have to be so diligent?
Mr. Lin on the side said: "Your Majesty, breakfast is ready."
"Yeah." The man waved his hand.
So Chu Yaoyao, who was forced to go to work, finished her breakfast with His Majesty the Emperor.
After breakfast, Chu Yaoyao, the culprit, accompanied the emperor to the morning court again.
From yesterday afternoon to now, Chu Yaoyao, who had experienced a hard day, couldn't help but lament that the emperor's life was too hard. He got up earlier than a chicken, went to bed later than a dog, and had endless memorials to approve.
On the other side, Yin Shiyu was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the courtiers standing in the palace with a cold face.
"If you have something to do, please leave. If nothing happens, please leave." The eunuch's high-pitched voice sounded.
He saluted respectfully in front of the sea: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"Say." Yin Shiyu said calmly.
"Your Majesty, it has been three years since your last draft. Your harem is empty and you have no heirs yet. I sincerely request that the draft be started for the sake of Dayan's country and country."
After the emperor heard this, he fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Yin Shi and Chu Lianxi turned their eyes to one side: "Chu Aiqing, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, I am here."
The familiar voice shocked Chu Yaoyao, who was dozing off. She opened her eyes wide and saw a young man in court uniform standing respectfully with His Highness.
Brother! It’s brother!
Chu Yaoyao stared at her brother who was talking without blinking, her whole soul filled with happiness. On the one hand, she was happy to see her brother, and on the other hand, she was sure that she was still in this time and space.
She turned around and looked at Yin Shiyu, then this emperor... isn't he the emperor Yin Shiyu who is praised by the people in the capital now?
She had heard that the emperor was as gentle as jade, was kind to others, was not a womanizer, and was considerate and caring towards the people. He was a rare wise king. However, through her contact with Yin Shi and Yi Yitian, she found that his character seemed to be different from the rumors.
picture.
Chu Lianxi here replied respectfully: "Now that Goguryeo is eyeing the north, I still feel that we should fight against the outside world before settling down at home."
"What Chu Aiqing said is wrong. Attacking Goguryeo is what General Li has to do. Your Majesty only needs to make a decision. This does not conflict with the draft. What's more, there is nothing more important than your Majesty's heirs.
"Yu Hai retorted.
"Your Majesty, I also think what Master Yu said is quite reasonable." Master Wu also spoke.
Soon, most of the officials in the palace responded: "Your Majesty, please open the talent show!"
Seeing this scene, Chu Lianxi could only remain silent.
The young emperor glanced at Prime Minister Jiang, who was standing on the other side as if nothing had happened. He pondered for a while and then said with a normal expression: "Then, as your lords have said, let's pick a suitable day to hold the general election."
Down towards the back.
Yin Shiyu's face remained calm. He stood up slowly and said calmly to the eunuch next to him: "Xiao Linzi, go and tell Chu Lianxi to stay. I want to go to the martial arts training ground with him.
Archery.”
Eunuch Lin responded: "Yes."
In the spacious martial arts training ground, only the monarch and his ministers were walking slowly one behind the other, while Chu Yaoyao was looking at her brother excitedly.
The atmosphere between the two of them was a little dull.
The young emperor glanced at Chu Lianxi lightly: "Lian Xi, what do you think of today's events?"
Chu Lianxi followed the emperor unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, I believe that most of the officials in the DPRK are following Yu Hai today. Some of them probably really want you to draft a draft and give birth to an heir as soon as possible. Some of them may..."
Seeing the hesitation on Chu Lianxi's face, Yin Shiyou smiled with eyes, as if chatting at home: "You don't have to be restrained, just say it's okay."
"Then I boldly expressed my thoughts. I believe that some of these ministers may be here just for their own interests. If there is a draft, the daughters of high-ranking officials will inevitably enter the palace, which will indeed enhance the family's strength.
There may be another reason... I can’t explain clearly, but I feel that the reason behind it may not be that simple.”
"Yeah, it's not that simple." Yin Shiyu's eyes were cold and he raised the corners of his lips, "The officials in this court all have their own agendas. Maybe they are not the same group, but it must be a common reason to consolidate the family. So Lian Xi,
Have you ever considered taking a shortcut this way?”
"I don't dare." Chu Lianxi bent down and bowed his hands.
"I remember you have a sister, right?" Yin Shiyu asked casually, half-smiling.
Chu Yaoyao, who was suddenly cueed, was confused. Why does it still have to do with her?
"Your Majesty, my sister has been pampered at home since she was a child. She was raised to be naive and ignorant. She is not suitable to accompany the emperor in the palace." Chu Lianxi bent down and knelt on the ground. His figure was still steady, but his heart became complicated for a moment.
His sister has always been weak, kind and innocent, and now she is unconscious. Now the emperor, who is thoughtful, has targeted her again in order to consolidate his position.
He must save his sister.
The emperor immediately bent down to help Chu Lianxi up and said gently: "Lianxi, why are you kneeling down? You entered the palace as my companion at a young age and have been friends with me for decades. I trust you the most.
You don't have to be so restrained in what you say, I won't force your sister to enter the palace, but I just mentioned it casually."
Is it really just a casual mention?
Chu Lianxi's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't believe it in her heart, but she still said respectfully on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"By the way, I heard that your sister is not in good health. My mother will be returning to Beijing in a few days. There is an old Chinese medicine doctor next to my mother who is very good at taking care of her body. If there is a chance in the future, I can ask your sister to come to the palace to accompany my mother.
Take a look at your body by the way, what do you think?" Yin Shiyu asked again.
Although he was reluctant, Chu Lianxi could only say "hmm" at this moment.
After watching the whole process, Chu Yaoyao, who was running through ten thousand horses in her heart at this moment:... Why do you, the emperor, have so many thoughts? My brother is so loyal to you, and you are still on guard against him! You are plotting against me! Both of us are in trouble.
I haven't seen you before. Did I provoke you?
Yin Shiyu continued to chat with Chu Lianxi while walking.
When the young Emperor walked to the weapons warehouse, he picked up a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand.
"Your Majesty wants to practice archery?" Chu Lianxi asked.
"Um."
Yin Shiyu really wanted to use sword practice to vent his pent-up emotions in court today.
Under the bright sunshine, the wise and mighty emperor held a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right hand, posing facing the target fifty meters away.
The young emperor was high-spirited, half-squinting one eye and aiming at the target.
Yin Shi grasped the bow weighing more than a hundred pounds with his left hand. He picked up the arrow with his right hand and approached the bow string. He exerted a little force...can't pull it?
The young emperor's expression froze slightly, and he raised his strength a little more, but the bowstring still didn't move at all.
Yin Shiyu stiffened and looked at Chu Lianxi who was still watching.
Although he was still unhappy in his heart, Chu Lianxi still showed admiration for the emperor on his face, and praised him repeatedly: "As expected of your Majesty, he is truly a talented man in both civil and military affairs."
Chu Yaoyao, who had no strength at all to pull the bow string: Brother, please stop boasting. This right hand is your useless sister. Didn’t you see that His Majesty’s expression was wrong?
In order not to lose face in front of his ministers, Yin Shiyu gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and prepared to use all his strength to pull the bowstring.
The next second, in Yin Shiyu's dark expression and Chu Lianxi's confident eyes, the arrow tremblingly shot out from the bowstring, like a kite with a broken string, with a weak "click" sound.
fell to the ground.
The arrow flew less than two meters away.
Chu Lianxi's eyes were shattered: "..."
Panting Chu Yaoyao: "..."
