Chapter 454 Cuju Competition
However, no matter how Lian Shiya swears with ugly words, or thinks of ways to irritate Lian Siyue, Lian Siyue always looks on with cold eyes, the corners of her lips slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm hanging there.

In the end, Lian Shiya was so tired of cursing that she couldn't speak, and Lian Siyue didn't scold her, she suddenly felt bored, lay down on the ground again, and cried:
"Sister, can you let me go, please, I have nothing now, please let me go."

She raised her head, all the arrogance and hostility just now were gone, "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I am not your opponent at all, I can't beat you, I give up, you put me out of the prime minister's house!" Drive away, let my mother and I live outside and never return to the prime minister's mansion..."

"Tsk..." Lian Siyue shook her head, Lian Shiya and Feng Qianyue really deserved to be a natural couple, in order to survive and profit, no matter how humble they can do it.

She took out a medicine bottle from her sleeve, raised her hand, and threw it on Lian Shiya.

"...Is this poison? Are you going to poison me to death?" Lian Shiya looked at the medicine bottle, feeling a surge of fear in her heart, and took a step back involuntarily.

Lian Siyue said in a cold voice:
"This is not poison, it's a medicine to cure the sores on your face. Although this medicine will not restore your face to its original state, it will not let it continue to fester, and it will also scar the sores on your face."

"You will be so kind? Don't you want me to die?" Lian Shiya refuses to believe that Lian Siyue will give her medicine. She has been here for half a month, her face is festered and painful. She has never asked for a doctor. No one cares about her, now Lian Siyue will give her medicine?

"The right to choose is in your hands, and of course you can choose not to." Lian Siyue said indifferently, then turned around and walked outside the barn.

Lian Shiya picked up the bottle of medicine, squeezed it tightly in her hand, gritted her teeth, thinking quickly in her mind, how she wished her mother was here now, so that she could give her some advice.

She suddenly stood up from the ground, staggered and ran to the other side, found water to wash her hands, poured some powder from the medicine, and applied it on the chin—

She was very cautious, she didn't paint the whole half of the rotten face, she had to try it first.

The four princes Feng Yunzheng, Feng Ye, Feng Yu, and Feng Rong were ordered by Emperor Zhou Cheng to stay with Jiayu County King Lu Jingyao for these two days, and Xiao He and Xiao Hu also accompanied them.

On the first day, they played on a gorgeous cruise ship on the Huaihe River, watching the beautiful spring scenery, drinking wine and composing poems. The Imperial Guards were stationed on both sides of the river, and no common people could approach them. They could only spy on the handsome and noble demeanor of His Royal Highnesses from a distance. , Occasionally see them splashing ink on the boat with great interest.

In the afternoon, the imperial guards withdrew, and at Feng Ye's suggestion, they went to the biggest gambling house in the capital. The gambling house emptied out everyone, and dedicated it to several highnesses and young masters.

Feng Yunzheng, who gambled, lost more than 2 taels of silver all at once. During the period, the housekeeper even asked someone to send the silver from the house, because he rarely came to the gambling house, and he was really not good at gambling. The two times were also at that time when I accompanied Feng Ming, who was still the prince, to watch, so when I gambled, I was ignorant, and the money flowed out, and the lost money was converted into bank notes and turned into a thick stack.

Feng Yu and Feng Rong won some, Xiao He also lost several thousand taels, and Feng Ye and Lu Jingyao won the most.

Lu Jingyao said, "I came all the way from Pingzhou, but I won the money from His Highness Ninth Prince. I'm really sorry. The money should be returned to the original owner."

"It's okay, I'm not good at playing the ace, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat, the king of Jiayu County is welcome." Feng Yunzheng ordered the people at the side to send all the money back to Lu Jingyao.

"Hahaha, Brother Nine Emperors, you don't have to be embarrassed, King Jiayu." Feng Ye smiled and said authentically, "Look at me, didn't I also win 1 taels?"

"Master Ye, look at the Sixth Highness, the Eighth Highness, the Tenth Highness, and the Jiayu County King, are they trying to deceive our master? Why did our master lose the big head? The Sixth Highness lost 1000 taels, and General Tianbao only lost 3000 taels." The butler leaned closer to Night Breeze and said in a low voice.

"Our master is rich." Night Breeze said.

"That can't be ruined like this, 2 taels of silver, it's heavy to pick out." The butler dripped blood in distress.

"Look at you, are you from our master? You're so rude." Night Breeze looked at the butler up and down, and said.

The butler was thoughtful, and said, "It's time to find a mistress to take care of our highness, it's not good to lose money like this."

"..." Ye Feng chuckled lightly, glanced at Feng Yunzheng, and said, "I think it will work!"

Let me talk about a few more Your Highnesses, although they were having fun with Lu Jingyao, they actually had their own concerns. The four princes were appointed to accompany Lu Jingyao. In fact, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to spy on King Anping, and Lu Jingyao also followed the order of King Anping to secretly observe a few of them. Your Highness, evaluate their respective strengths and see who is likely to be established as the new crown prince. After all, who the future emperor is is closely related to their prosperity and decline in Pingzhou.

Therefore, on the surface, they are having fun together, but they are actually evaluating and spying on each other.

In the evening, Feng Ye, Feng Yunzheng, Feng Yu, and Feng Rong went to Rongyuan Hall to report to Emperor Zhou Cheng——

"Based on what you've seen, what about Lu Jingyao? How about King Anping?" Zhou Chengdi asked.

The four princes each glanced at each other, and the Sixth Highness Feng Yu took a step forward and said, "Father, according to my sons and daughters, it seems that Lu Jingyao is not as rough as he appears on the surface, but he is actually quite scheming. After a while, he knows how to retreat and cover up his true strength."

"Furthermore, Lu Jingyao came to the capital this time not just to seek marriage. I found that he seemed to be very interested in our armory. In the past two days, he used the excuse of sharpening his sword to go to the armory workshop. , and talked to the old master who made weapons for the imperial guards." Then, His Royal Highness Feng Rong also said.

"Father, my son arranged a detailed letter in Ping'an, saying that King Anping has been hiding from the court for the past two years, recruiting troops in the name of recruiting craftsmen, and secretly expanding his power, and the military expenditure for his expansion of power is still the court. Yes, from my son's point of view, his power is bound to be reduced," Feng Ye said.

"What the eight emperors said is very true. Father, King Anping occupies the Jiangnan area, which is the most affluent place in our Great Zhou. All the food produced and taxes collected every year belong to them. My son is afraid that once his power increases again, It will pose a threat to the imperial court." Feng Yu said again.

Emperor Zhou Cheng looked at Feng Yunzheng and asked, "Yunzheng, why don't you speak? Tell me your opinion."

"My son is just thinking, with the current strength of the court, it is really inappropriate to meet King Anping immediately. Is there any way, without fighting, to weaken King Anping's power first, and then find an opportunity to send troops and hit him with one blow." .” Feng Yunzheng said thoughtfully.

"I don't know what kind of good method Jiuhuangdi has?" Feng Ye said, a gleam of light flickered in his eyes.

"I haven't thought about it yet," Feng Yunzheng said.

"What you said makes sense. It is imperative to cut the vassal clan, but not now." Emperor Zhou Cheng got up and said, "I wanted to hold a banquet in the palace, but let's change it to a Cuju competition. It will be held tomorrow. Counting it, this Cuju competition It was done two years ago, you should prepare well and let me see if you have made progress, hahaha."

After leaving Rongyuan Hall, the little eunuch from Menghua Palace came and asked Feng Yunzheng to go to Concubine Liang. When Concubine Liang saw Feng Yunzheng, she said:

"Zheng'er, just now the queen mother asked our third concubine to go to Shouning Palace. There is Lian Siyue's name on the roster, and her name is also ranked first." Concubine Liang said with a nervous expression.

"That's true!" Feng Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"If Lu Jingyao also intends to marry Lian Siyue, then this marriage will be considered successful!" said Concubine Liang.

Feng Yunzheng thought for a moment, then said tightly, "Concubine Mother, you must find a way to get Father to take you to the racecourse tomorrow. I need the concubine's help."
