Walking to the Star Picking Building, the building is also full of guests, some red men and green women in pairs, and some come with friends to occupy a corner. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info At a glance, there was not a single empty seat.

The palace was worried, but Zhao Gou was calm, beckoned to a running hall, gave an order, and a waiter in Tsing Yi guided us upstairs.

Bengong said: "You have a big face. The Star Picking Building is the property of the third aunt's family, and I never look at people's official positions and titles, so I have to queue up whenever I come, why do you have a seat upstairs all of a sudden?"

Zhao Gou said: "The eldest princess is your third aunt and my cousin." If she doesn't want to see you, she doesn't necessarily want to see me. ”

Bengong said: "Don't be flamboyant, the third aunt is famous for her businessman style, she recognizes money but not people, why are you waiting to see you? Do you give her a lot of silver every year?"

Zhao Gou said: "It's really hard to coax the older you grow. Okay, to tell you the truth, I have already booked a seat, the south-facing private room on the third floor, and you can see the girls wearing seven-hole needles on the beggar platform. ”

Bengong said: "It's strange to say, along the way, I always feel that the folk girls are particularly smart and cute, although the appearance is not as gentle and beautiful as the palace women, but that innocent conceit, but the palace women can not learn." ”

Speaking of this, the waiter in Tsing Yi who led the way in front glanced back at the palace without a trace. Hongu knew that he was speechless, so he shut up and stopped talking.

When he was young, the palace and Zhao Gou were led to a street compartment, the door was opened, the evening breeze came, brushed the pink beads and jasmine in front of the screen, and swept away the mixed smell of wine and food in the hall, which made people feel refreshed. After sitting down, there are maids rushing in and putting more than a dozen delicacies on the table.

Zhao Gou has always been free and unruly, and he eats the roast lamb as soon as it is on the table. The palace saw that the waiter in Tsing Yi who led the way was standing aside with his hands down, and he didn't go for a long time, so he said: "There is no need to serve here, you can go down." ”

The waiter followed the maids out of the cubicle.

Zhao Gou was eating happily, slicing the mutton with a small knife, and beckoned to the palace: "What are you doing in a daze? I'll give you a slice, taste it quickly, it's not delicious when it's cold." This is a lamb that has just been born to term, wrapped in a beehive and slowly simmered over a charcoal fire, juicy and crispy, and you will not eat such a hot roast sheep in the palace. ”

Hongu said, "I seem to have been recognized just now. ”

Zhao Gou raised his head from the plate full of mutton: "It's not strange to recognize me, you have lived in the deep palace for a long time, and even the guards don't know you very well, how can you be recognized by the people in the restaurant?" He took the towel and wiped his mouth, and suddenly patted his thigh and said, "Wow! You just called the eldest princess aunt, didn't you?" looked playful, as if laughing.

Bengong said: "Don't joke at this time, I gaffe that you also have a share, if I didn't walk with you, I wouldn't be recognized as the prince." What now?"

Zhao Gou said: "Let's concentrate on eating meat now." As he spoke, he picked up a plate of sliced mutton and put it in front of the palace.

Bengong said: "Where am I in the mood to eat meat, if I tell my father tomorrow, it will be another sin." ”

Zhao Gou sighed: "Huaizhang, you just have too much to think about. Even if it is recognized, what if it is recognized? The prince and prince in the restaurant have seen a lot, and they know very well the truth of accidentally copying and beheading all over the house, will they still expose the small mistakes of you, the prince of today?"

Hongu said: "You are right, but I am still uneasy in my heart. ”

Zhao thought for a moment and said, "In this way, it is inconvenient for us to call each other when we come here, and the crowds on the street will be more crowded later, in case we are crowded and shouting to each other, we can't use our real names." It's better to take a nickname according to the customs, and pay attention to the title, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Hongu said: "This is very interesting, how to take the method?"

Zhao said: "It is said that the people are named according to the ranking or birthday, I was born on December 12, it is better to call Zhao Twelve, then, you will be called Gu Fifteen." ”

Bengong shook his head and said, "It's not good, it's not good, what fifteen mistakes, you can take another one." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Where is there so much exquisiteness, there are still rough men called Xiaohua in the market." ”

Bengong said: "Anyway, I don't call Gu Fifteen, and I won't agree if you call me." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Okay, okay, then call Gu Si." This is the fourth in number of brothers. ”

Bengong thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Gu Si is very good. ”

Zhao Gou said: "Shiro is satisfied, then eat it quickly, the mutton is going to be cold." ”

Hongu said: "Got it, thank you Twelve." ”

Zhao Goulen paused for a moment, then smiled when he reacted, and knocked the head of the palace with chopsticks: "Little slippery head, I told you to take advantage of it." ”

The two of them were laughing, and suddenly they heard someone knock softly on the door of the cubicle: "Friend inside, can you open the door?"

Zhao Gou and Bengong were shocked when they heard it, isn't this Ji Fufeng's voice!

Zhao Gou and Bengong glanced at each other, and Zhao Gou said softly: "Maybe it's just that the voices are similar." Today, the building is full of guests, and I am afraid that I can't find a seat to share a table. I'll just send it away. ”

Bengong said: "Knowing that you are here, you still have to share the table, and the building actually agreed, and the number of people in Chang'an is counted, and it is the Ji family Tian who has been in the wind and water recently, I know all the sons of the Tian family, and the people outside the door are not determined." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Even if it is, since the kid of the Ji family voted for your East Palace, does he dare to frame you?"

After that, he got up and went to open the door, leaving the palace to sit in his seat and feel uneasy.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a Peugeot young man standing outside, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Ji Fufeng, wearing a Confucian robe, wearing a Boshan crown, his eyes rolled, and he looked at the palace and smiled slightly.

Who is this man?

Zhao Gou said: "It turned out to be Lord Lantai Lingyun, disrespectful. ”

The man smiled and said: "Zhao Dutong has good eyesight, and the lower officials have not yet reported their net worth, but they have been seen through by Zhao Dutong's eyes." ”

Zhao said: "Each other." Don't adults also know that I'm Zhao Gou?"

The two laughed for a while, and the man continued: "The Qixi Festival Star Picking Tower is full, I wonder if the lower officials are lucky enough to ask for a place in Zhao Dutong's private room?"

Zhao Gou said: "Lord Yun is polite, he is an official in the same dynasty, how can there be a saying about asking for it." On weekdays, it would be a great honor for Zhao Gou to sit at the same table with adults. It's just that today is unfortunate, I have some personal matters here, and it is inconvenient to drink and have fun with adults, so please forgive me Lord Yun. After speaking, no matter what people's reactions are, he stretches out his hand to close the door.

The man was not annoyed, he was still smiling slightly, and only when Zhao Gou covered the door halfway, he suddenly spoke: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for being rude." ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately reopened the door and grabbed people in, and then slammed the door shut.

The banquet outside was lively, I wonder if anyone heard his "His Royal Highness the Prince"?

This Lord Yun is probably really some relative of Ji Fufeng, who was caught by Zhao Gou, and he was also calm, as if he had been invited in.

Zhao Gou's voice was cold: "Yun Ling, don't be ignorant." ”

It turned out to be Yun Ling, the son-in-law of the third aunt's family, and she had long heard that he was handsome. Although she was born in the Han clan, she coaxed the only daughter of the third aunt with her face to be determined not to marry, and there were several troubles for this. Why did it suddenly become a Lantai Order?

Yun Ling arched his hand and said: "Zhao Dutong is not strange, the lower officials have something important to tell you." As he spoke, he turned to the palace, knelt down upright, and bowed, and said, "Weichen Lantai Ling Yunling, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Bengong had no choice but to say: "No courtesy." ”

Ji Ling said: "The matter is urgent, and I also ask His Highness to forgive the crime of Weichen colliding." ”

What if this palace doesn't forgive you? Tomorrow, there will be a recital from my father's emperor that this palace is arrogant and domineering, ignores the palace rules, and openly resists the punishment of my father's grounding.

Bengong said calmly: "Yun Qing's words are serious, and this palace forgives you for your innocence." Calm down and tell me what's going on. ”

Yun Ling stood up, stroked her sleeve, and straightened the tassel on her crown.

Bengong waited patiently, but Zhao Gou said: "If you have something to say, just talk about it, and get out of it when you're done." ”

Yun Ling smiled: "Lord Zhao is so anxious. ”

Bengong said: "Yun Qing has anything to say." "Didn't you say that there was something important to discuss, how to take care of your own grooming. Why don't you wait for you to draw a flower and talk back?

Yun Ling said: "Back to Your Highness, Weichen got the news last night that King Yan has returned to Beijing. ”

Hongu was stunned for a moment and said, "Is this true?"

Gu Huaiheng, the king of Yan who had already taken over the country, was the only son of Concubine Xu Shu--oh no, soon it would be Concubine Xu Gui-, the same age as the palace, and two months ago, that is, when the palace was named the crown prince, he and his sixth brother Huaixian were named the king of Yan and the king of Khan respectively, and immediately set off for their respective fiefdoms. Yandi is more than 1,400 miles away from Chang'an, and it is just over a month to go back and forth, if he returns to Beijing now, then he will turn back not long after he arrives in the fiefdom?

Yun Ling said: "Weichen doesn't dare to bully. When Weichen got the news, King Yan was already fifty miles away from Chang'an. If King Yan and his entourage travel day and night, then at the latest at noon today, King Yan has already entered Beijing. Yun Ling hesitated for a moment and continued: "According to the news received by Wei Chen, King Yan came with the younger brother of the previous Rouran Khan, King Rouran Xiu Tu this time. ”

Bengong subconsciously glanced at Zhao Gou, who is King Rouranxiu, how could he get mixed up with King Yan?

Zhao Gou looked at Yun Ling and said, "You rushed in just to say this? Why did you say it to Huaizhang? Since it was the news you got last night, why didn't you report it to Your Majesty immediately? What if we didn't come to pick up the Star Tower today?" What are you going to do?"

Yun Ling said: "Lord Zhao, King Yan was accompanied by King Xiu Tu to enter Beijing, and his intentions were not good. This Xiu Tu King, Lord Zhao should recognize, called the day, it was originally the king of Zuo Tu Qi, that is, the prince of Rouran. The current Rouran Khan was succeeded by the murderer, and he suddenly lost the position of Khan, was demoted to the king of Hutu, and was expelled from the court of Rouran. When he came to Chang'an, he was not necessarily ordered by Rouran Khan to serve as a diplomatic envoy between the two countries. And King Yan and his entourage were able to hide people's eyes and ears and go straight to Chang'an, which may not be without His Majesty's instructions. His Royal Highness the Prince," Yun Ling turned his head to the palace and said sincerely: "Weichen is incompetent, so he can only warn His Highness." ”

Zhao Gou said: "You didn't answer my question. ”

Yun Ling said: "If His Highness doesn't come to the Star Tower today, Ji Xiang will enter the East Palace tomorrow and tell His Highness the news." ”

Bengong said: "Who are you Ji Fufeng?"

Yun Ling smiled slightly: "Fufeng is Weichen's nephew. ”

This Yun Ling looks at him and is in his twenties, how can he have such a big nephew as Ji Fufeng.

Yun Ling was surprised when she saw the palace, and explained: "Weichen's sister entered the Ji family as a side room, and she was only 15 years old when she gave birth to Fufeng. And the sister and Weichen are ten years apart. Therefore, although Weichen is Fufeng's uncle, there is not much difference in age from him. ”

Hongu said: "Yes." It is said that 'nephews are like uncles', and your nephews and uncles do look alike. Especially your voice, Hongu just heard it at first glance and thought it was Fufeng coming. ”

Yun Ling said: "Fufeng is also close now, if His Highness wants to meet him, Weichen will call him over." ”

Before Bengong could answer, Zhao Gou said, "No." So many things to do when you come out for a meal. You're done, aren't you? ”

Bengong looked at Zhao Gou helplessly, only to see that his eyes were fierce, and his face was so gloomy that he could drip water. This was a precursor to his anger, and if he had a sword in his hand, he might have burst out and kill.

Hongu had no choice but to say, "Another day." Today's visit to the palace micro-service is inconvenient to alarm many people. When you go out, you must also keep your mouth shut, and don't let others know that the palace is here. ”

Yun Ling said: "Huh." Wechen retired. ”

Bengong watched Yun Ling leave, turned around and comforted Zhao Gou: "Okay, what are you angry about? Yun Ling also has good intentions." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Good intentions, Gu Huaizhang, are you stupid?" Zhao Gou laughed angrily, "Let's set a trap on someone!"

Hongu frowned and said, "What kind of condom?"

Zhao Gou said: "Where we are going, we have been calculated." From my house to Chang'an East City is the closest, and Gu Luantai on the East Market Street, there is suddenly an Oiran Chu tonight (the night competition attracts your attention, they expect that I will not let you in, I will definitely choose a nearby place to pass the time, the most suitable one is the Star Picking Tower. Let's say it's hanging out, and it seems to be casual all the way, but in fact, people are staring at it. Yun Ling's appearance here was also premeditated. ”

Bengong said: "Didn't you say that the private room had already been decided, so how could it be calculated?"

Zhao Gou choked for a while, and his original hideous anger froze on his face, and he was very happy.

Hongu sighed, "I knew you were tricking me at that time. Speaking of which, it's just that you and Yun Ling are calculating me. ”

Zhao Gou hurriedly said: "Huaizhang!"

Bengong intercepted him and said, "You don't have to confess, I know you must have a lot of hardships." I don't have to make everything clear between me and you. "Bengong Xindao, just like you are in Honghutai, contact the forces of Prince Xianshen, and Bengong can also pretend not to know.

Zhao Gou said: "Huaizhang, we are in the same place, when did we have a disagreement? I know that you don't doubt me, and I never doubt you." Even if the news brought by Yun Ling is true this time, have you thought about it, why were the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty concealed, and Yun Ling alone got the secret report? Why did he come to tell you?"

Bengong said: "I don't care how Yun Ling got the news. 'The son of a daughter, sit and enjoy', as long as you wait for others to surrender, you don't have to care about the means by which others get tribute, this is what you taught me. As for why you told me, Zhao Gou, I am now the crown prince," Bengong glanced at the bustling street outside the building, and the girls on the begging platform were bright and moving, and they were concentrating on wearing seven-hole needles. The wine here is green and the lights are red, and the wealth is pouring into the sky, but it makes people feel bored for no reason, and this life is over. "I'm already having a hard time riding a tiger. ”

Zhao Gou was speechless for a while, and Bengong sat back in his seat and ate the mutton he had sliced for Bengong before. After too long, the barbecue meat was already cold, and the mutton fat condensed into anointing oil and hung on the outer layer.

Zhao Gou walked behind Bengong and pressed his hand on Bengong's arm, just as he did when he first saw Hongu.

"Huaizhang, don't be afraid. I am here. Don't be afraid. ”

The third spoiler small theater:

Many years later, the prince of Gaochang in the northwest came to visit and said that his Han name was Zhao Shishilang.

Gu Huaizhang was sixty-five years old at the time, his old eyes were dizzy, and he vaguely saw Zhao Gou in his youth, standing unruly on the Chongyuan Palace.
