"Ahem. Zhou Jian's face couldn't help but flush slightly when he heard the sage say this, he stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of roasted venison extremely skillfully and put it into the sage's bowl, and then picked up the wine jug and poured a full cup for the sage.

"Lingyun is an adult. The saint slowly ate the venison, drank the wine, and his face was a little sad.

"Your Majesty is so interested, roasting venison and appreciating plum blossoms on such a snowy day, how can you not call a concubine!" A group of people came out of the plum tree from afar, and the head was a woman who combed Chaoyun near the incense bun, wearing a cloak of lotus blue ink calligraphy and painting brocade face black mouse skin, and the skirt corner of the white embroidered Hunan bamboo was exposed between walking, and she walked over, holding a three- or four-year-old boy on her right hand, wearing a red golden grass insect out of the wind short jacket, stepping on deerskin boots, step by step is also very stable.

"Aren't you also here with Gorou to tread the snow and look for plums?" the saint couldn't help but smile when he saw her coming.

"Which little Langjun did Your Majesty invite to accompany you?" Lang Jun next to Lingyun looked at Miansheng. After everyone saluted and sat down one after another, Zhang Wen hurriedly called the little eunuch to add two more chairs next to the saint, and the virtuous concubine took off the cloak and handed it to the palace maid beside her, while pulling the child to sit down.

"The grass people came back to Chang'an for the first time this year, and they were fortunate to be summoned by His Majesty. Pingling Yu smiled slightly, avoiding his eyes, only glanced at his heart, but he was slightly puzzled, speaking of the old concubine is now a person in her forties, but she is slender, a pair of eyes are like a young girl, even the slight wrinkles at the corners of the eyes do not damage her beauty at all, what surprised Pingling Yu even more is that he thought that the other party's favored harem must be domineering, but he didn't expect the other party to be gentle, even the tone of speech is light and delicate, and the clothes are not gorgeous, but very elegant and light.

"If you tread the snow to find plums, you should wait for the snow to stop, such a heavy snow, you were not in good health in your early years, and you must not suffer the cold. The saint waited for her to sit down, and poured a glass of wine for her, "and drink this cup to warm up your body first." ”

"The concubine only thought that it was snowing, so that she could take the residual snow on the plum blossom petals and put it in an urn, and make snacks with the dew on the lotus leaves in the next summer, but she didn't think much about it. The virtuous concubine really listened to the sage's command and drank the wine.

"You, after so many years, it's the same as when you didn't leave the cabinet. The saint smiled and sighed, "You don't eat much of this venison." ”

"The concubine saved it. Concubine Xian smiled softly when she heard this, "There is still something I want to ask Your Majesty to answer!"

"Say it. The sage smiled when he heard this, "It just so happened that Lingyun and ...... Well, Pingling is here, and if your request is unreasonable, I won't open the net. ”

"Look, Your Majesty said that. Concubine Xian laughed when she heard this, "The concubine is thinking that after the New Year, Wulang will be five years old, maybe he will go out of the pavilion to study?"

"The ordinary prince went out of the cabinet to study at the age of five, but I only thought that Gorou was weak and probably couldn't stand the daily schoolwork. The sage looked at the five princes who were sitting quietly on the side and frowned, and for a moment saw Pingling Yu reach out and take a plate of preserved fruits and hand it to the child, and said with a thought, "Pingling used to be a gentleman in the mountains and wilderness, but I don't know how old the folk children are before they enter the school?"

"Studying in the mountains and fields is a precious thing, and Xiaolang, who has a good family background, is about six or seven years old when he enters school, and if his family is secondary, he will be older. "The rebellion against Jinzhou, Pingling Yu has now concluded that the Xiahou family is involved, but he still has hesitation in his heart about the Lin family, only today I saw the concubine Xian mention that the five princes went out of the pavilion to study, and the doubts in my heart were scattered for the most part, and the slightest carelessness in the rebellion is that there are no bones, the Lin family is now in the limelight, and there is no need for him to do such a thankless thing, but these five princes, in the past, I heard people vaguely mention that his body is weak, and now I see, the almost five-year-old Xiaolang is similar to a three-year-old child, and his complexion is not only not ruddy, but a little unhealthy white, and his chin is pointy and more and more dark。

In that case, Gorou will wait another year. The saint looked at the young son, who seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, and sighed.

"Your Majesty also knows that although the concubine is literate, but in the end it is the daughter's family, Gorou Linghui, since the concubine enlightened him at the age of three, now even the Analects can be memorized, Gorou's qualifications are extraordinary, and the concubine is worried about delaying him. The thought in her heart was refuted by the sage, and Concubine Xian was also annoyed, and her tone became more and more gentle, "Gorou, come, recite the Analects I memorized the day before yesterday to my father." ”

The fifth prince slowly raised his head and glanced at her, and then looked at the people present, and then began to recite slowly: "Zi said: "When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it? There are friends from afar, and you are happy?......?"

The child's clear voice echoed in the Yuxue Pavilion, and everyone was silent for a while, only the boiling sound of rice wine on the stove could be heard.

With such a literary genius as Jiang Xiu by his side, Pingling Yu was not surprised by the existence of a prodigy, but when he saw that little thin child had to recite the entire "Analects" word for word, he sighed in his heart, even if he was really a brilliant character, he naturally put in enough effort.

"What do you want?" The sage was obviously amazed by the intelligence of the young son, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke the little head of the fifth prince.

“...... Can Ze go to the Houtu Hall to find the fourth emperor brother to play?" the fifth prince pondered for a moment, with a bit of expectation in his tone.

"Absolutely. The sage's tone became softer and softer, since his birthday, he felt more and more powerless, in the past, he did not feel tired when he wrote and painted Danqing for a day, but now he felt tired after only an hour, but he had already set up the two remaining princes under his knees as the East Palace, but because of the rebellion of the Ji family, he began to waver, but he still felt very relieved to see the two children getting along, "Does Gorou want to go out of the pavilion to study like your fourth brother?"

"If you go out of the pavilion to study, can you be with the four emperor brothers all day long?" The fifth prince blinked his eyes, his two hands unconsciously kneaded his sleeves, although he was young, he didn't change anything, he could feel that every time he came back with the imperial brother, Mother Lin was always a little unhappy, but Mother Lin was the happiest when she saw her father, if her father agreed, Mother Lin would not be sad, "If so, I am willing." ”

The smile on Concubine Xian's face instantly froze, she paused and reached out to touch the head of the fifth prince, and said with a smile: "Is it a brotherhood! ”

"What is Shiro taking you to play?" the sage smiled when he heard this, and cut a small piece of meat with a silver knife and put it in the bowl of the five princes.

"The fourth brother took me to build a snowman and took me to have a snowball fight. The fifth prince remembered that he was playing in the snow with his brother in the winter of last year, and his little face turned red with excitement, and he finally looked a little childish.

The sage obviously rarely saw the coquettish appearance of the young son, and immediately reached out to clip a piece of meat for him, the freshly roasted venison was tender and delicious, and the aroma was overflowing, and the fifth prince tasted a piece, and his eyes showed surprise, but the virtuous concubine watched from the side and did not allow him to eat more.

After everyone finished eating, and the little eunuch served and washed, Zhou Jian was ordered to distribute the soldiers, and the sage looked at the getting late and thought about being with the virtuous concubine, but he didn't want to have a small yellow door come to send a message saying that it was Lin Yushi who asked to see, and the sage was stunned for a moment and took Zhang Wenjing back to the Huangtian Palace, and recruited the little yellow door to take Pingling Yu to the painting academy, where the students of the calligraphy and painting academy were stationed.

The little yellow gate leading Pingling Yu was the same age as Jiang Xiu, but he didn't even have a point of brilliance from the other party, and he walked along the wide road with Pingling Yu all the way, showing a very restrained look.

"What's your name?" The two came along the road without an umbrella, Xiao Huangmen walked in front of the corner, stopped and waited for Pingling Yu to follow, and occasionally encountered slippery places along the way, and would make a reminder, seeing Pingling Yu say the news, a round apple face turned red.

"The slave's surname is Li, and the fathers-in-law call the slave Xiao Lizi. Xiao Lizi smiled slightly, "Today, the slave will serve Mr. Hou, and please come with the slave." ”

After a while, the two stopped in a courtyard that they entered.

"Your Majesty likes to paint, and most of the students in the palace calligraphy and painting academy are students from all over the Eastern Qin Dynasty. Xiao Lizi stepped forward and pushed open the door, and saw that Pingling Yu felt puzzled and couldn't help but explain, "They have always studied the way of calligraphy and painting here, Your Majesty has a library in the palace, which has a lot of pen and ink collections. His Majesty built a few new houses for him to live in, and if he left his courtiers to stay here, he would be locked at night and cut off from the forbidden palace. ”

Pingling Yu nodded when he heard this, and followed the little eunuch into the courtyard.

"This yard also has an owner?" The yard is very simple, with a shelf of mixed lilies and vines, and a green calyx in the corner of the wall.

At this time, it is in the flowering period, a cold fragrance is refreshing, if you don't see the stem green, I am afraid that it is the same color as the snowflake.

"And uninhabited. Xiao Lizi was stunned for a moment and said, "Only the palace people must be cleaning." ”

Then the two of them entered the inner room together, and the palace people lit the charcoal basin, and the flames jumped, and the room was not cold.

"Sir, sit down, slave go get some hot water." Xiao Lizi waited for Pingling Yu to take off his coat and sit down on the kang, "Is Mr. going to read or use pen and ink?"

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll just find a few books on the bookshelf and flip through them. Pingling Yu smiled slightly and put his hand in his sleeve.

"Wow. Xiao Lizi responded when he heard this, lit the lamp for him and closed the door, and then quietly retreated.

Pingling Yu casually took a travelogue from the shelf, but his mind could not be placed on the book.

Don't look at his calm appearance in front of the saint, but step by step is according to the saint's nature, first stating his life experience in order to arouse the saint's pity and closeness, probably people are naturally close to those who come out of adversity.

The sage likes calligraphy and painting, and since he ascended the throne, he has been particularly tolerant of scholars with calligraphy and painting specialties. And Pingling Yu is naturally confident in his own handwriting, so he specially cast his favor, and the place where he put the pen not only praised his rule as a prosperous era, but also showed an extraordinary calligraphy, in order to win the love of the saint.

Later, he attracted his attention with a bet, although on the surface it was the young man who was indignant, but he was convinced that just by looking at Zhou Jian's face and his own calligraphy, he would not really condemn the saint if he lost the bet.

This planning can be described as painstaking, at this time calm down Pingling Yu only felt extremely tired, just eager to be able to lie down and sleep immediately, but this place is in the palace, Pingling Yu did not dare to indulge himself to really sleep, only took off the big robe and fell asleep.

After sleeping like this for a while, he heard a commotion in the courtyard, Pingling Yu had no choice but to open his eyes, get up in his clothes, push the door out, but saw several young men standing in the courtyard Langjun were gathered under the plum tree and didn't know what to say.
