April 17 is the birthday of the eldest princess of the Gu clan, and the whole country celebrates together.

Early in the morning, Emperor Hongyuan came to Fengzhang Palace with great interest. Emperor Hongyuan is no longer young, and the dragon robe wrapped in gold wire can't wrap his lazy body.

The golden jade belt hook only symbolically hangs diagonally on the waist, and on the head is a delicate gold silk jade crown, and in the middle is a dragon-shaped hairpin, the dragon body is paved with precious stones, which is extraordinarily luxurious.

His face was full of the marks left by the sand, so his eyes contained a bit of murder and majesty. But at this moment, Emperor Hongyuan's face was full of smiles, and as soon as he entered Fengzhang Palace, the palace people were busy saluting.

Empress Yan came out and saluted and said with a smile: "The emperor came up early. "She is full of pearls and emeralds, and her bearing is graceful, and she is worthy of being born in a family.

Behind Empress Yan, a little girl immediately ran out, walked according to the courtesy, and said with a sweet smile: "Xi'er greets my father." ”

When Emperor Hongyuan saw this daughter, he smiled even deeper, hugged her, only to feel that it was heavier again, and said with a smile: "Xi'er is already five years old, and she is getting better and better." ”

I also looked closely at my daughter's apricot eyes and rhinoplasty, especially her heavenly court, at a glance, she knew that she was a nobleman, her small mouth was like cherry blossom petals, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, she was a little arrogant, her cheeks were like jade, and she was dressed in a pink and white gauze dress, as noble and elegant as a little swan.

Emperor Hongyuan loves this only daughter the most, better than other princesses, he has no prince, and this daughter is the most intelligent and lovely, Emperor Hongyuan hopes that she will have a safe life, so he gives the name "An".

Since then, the name of Princess An has spread all over the palace.

Princess An was two years old and could read and write, and now she is five years old, and she is more and more a smart seed, Emperor Hongyuan looked at his daughter and smiled: "Come on, put the princess's gift up." ”

"Yes. The chief eunuch Wang Huihui gestured with a look, and the two guards carried a scroll-like thing and placed it on the table in front of them carved with dragons and phoenixes.

It was originally a painting, with a light yellow silk as the base, which looked luxurious and generous, and the two carefully spread out the long painting little by little, and a piece of heaven and water unfolded in Princess An's immature eyes, and her young heart was attracted by the painting, and there was a strange feeling in her heart. As the picture is fully unfolded, there are thousands of landscapes.

This painting comes from the wonderful pen of two painters in the calligraphy and painting hall in the palace, splashing ink and landscape, without losing the fine elegance.

In the distance is a landscape, the light ink layer upon layer outlines the outline of the peak, the corridor waist is close to the waist, a tile and a wood, all depicted finely, the ink turns light, it is the brilliant waterfall from the high mountain to a thousand miles, as if you can still hear the sound of the water stirring, and the pen turns again, the clouds on the edge of the sky slightly apply a few strokes, it seems leisurely.

Princess An's little eyes rolled a few times, and she quickly clapped her hands, "giggles" and laughed, and the people around her couldn't help but sigh, because as soon as she was happy, Emperor Hongyuan was naturally happy.

Soon, one after another, concubines came to congratulate them, and asked Emperor Hongyuan and Empress Yan for peace one by one, but the gifts presented were not as good as Emperor Hongyuan's "Tianshan Landscape" in the eyes of Princess An.

Emperor Hongyuan was also very happy in his heart, and said on the spot: "Princess An, I have won my heart and know my intentions. ”

In a word, I don't know how much jealousy it has caused, and I don't know how much turmoil it has caused.

Life in the palace has always been like this, and I am cheating.

However, everything is like the "sky and water", it is just the glory on the surface, and the dirt and ugliness inside, how many people can know.

The genius was faintly bright, and there was a rooster crow. After this sound, it was the beginning of the day in Tongcheng.

Tongcheng is not a prosperous city, at best it can only be said to be average, because of the successive years of famine, many young people went out to flee the famine, leaving only the old people and children.

And those hard-working women, weaving all year round, grinding layer after layer of skin on their hands, and the beautiful women have long been unable to see their original appearance after several labors, and their beauty is all exhausted in the loom, and there are stacks of fine cloth without beauty.

This place is therefore a lot less noisy, the government is rarely patronized here, no one wants to come to this poor place as a county magistrate, the current Chen county magistrate is said to be a poor scholar who has won the jinshi, but the poor can only write articles all year round, and will not govern the county at all, and the situation in Tongcheng is even worse.

At this time, the curtain of a teahouse was lifted, and six people walked out, the leader was dressed in cloth clothes, very decent, Ruyu's hand held a fan with a white jade handle, his face was very long, his long hair was tied up with a green cloth, and there was a hint of cynical smile between the corners of his mouth.

But his eyes were slightly long, very fierce, and he looked firmly into the distance, and he was really a noble and eccentric man. The five men behind him were all dressed in white, with white belts around their foreheads, and a long silver sword hanging from their waists.

The man at the head of the group looked a little indignant: "Sir, those guys from 'Yesheng' are really too deceitful. ”

The man in Tsing Yi, who was known as Mr., only smiled lightly: "This is like the old demon of Qingyang." You're right, Mu Ling?"

Mu Ling's facial muscles tensed slightly, and then he looked down with his eyes, and there were a large number of stones on the road: "It's been a long time, and there is no news of His Highness at all, and you don't let the brothers in the sect look for it." Mr. Lu, I don't think this is a solution. ”

Mr. Lu said lightly: "I believe in General Lin, besides, this place, they will never come to the wrong place." ”

Mu Ling said: "There are fewer officers and soldiers here, and it is indeed a good place. ”

"After receiving His Highness, we will march to the southern capital, and Lord Liao still has some power there. ”

Mu Ling wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Now, the general trend has gone." But sir, we will make a comeback!" he clapped his hands, his eyes cracked, and his mouth tightened.

Mr. Lu raised his fingers lightly, put away the fan, and just sighed lightly: "There is always an end to the nine twilight of the Spring Dynasty, how to care about the spring thought, I only hope that the country is broken, and I only hate the death of the family." ”

......

Sunlight shines through the lattice, reflecting the clarity of the room, a long, imposing desk with bats and clouds carved on the rim, an orderly official letter on the left side of the table, and a carved chair on the side of the table.

There are wisteria wooden bookshelves on the wall of the whole room, which looks simple and solemn, and the books placed are densely packed and crowded, although they are a little messy, the servants and maids of the Lin family never dare to enter the study to clean up, or clean up.

Lin Yue has always enjoyed being in the study in the morning. Today, Emperor Hongyuan stopped the dynasty for a day, and Lin Yue came to the study early in the morning to read.

Before long, someone knocked on the door: "My lord, it's me." ”

Lin Yue heard the voice of his confidant Wang Heng, and only slowly put down the book: "Come in." ”

Wang Heng pushed the door in, wearing a light pearl-colored silk shirt, embroidered a few stripes between the clothes, and his hair was tied with a light-colored belt, looking young and elegant.

He was born in a family, he loved to read since he was a child, and became one of the guests of the Lin Mansion, at first glance there seems to be nothing special, but if you look at this shallow eyebrows, it seems that a piece of cloth can be wiped off, and the small but thorough eyes can also detect that he has a bit of the elegance of a scholar, and he is barely touched with Qingxiu.

The reason why Lin Yue trusts him is, of course, mainly because of his talent, he can write good poems, and he is a very smart person.

"Do you have something?" Lin Yue didn't raise his eyes, he just leaned back in his chair lazily, putting on a sense of superiority and generosity that only a prime minister has.

"My lord, it's the Qiu family's matter. Wang Heng was cautious in his words and deeds, for fear of angering Lin Yue.

Lin Yue only raised his eyes to look at him this time: "Isn't it dealt with? He paused word by word, and the word "clean" sounded neatly, like the crisp sound of a sharp knife when cutting a turnip.

After all, he is a traitor who can betray even his own brother Lin Xiang~

"There is another girl who survived, Qiu Jinlan's child. ”

"Hmm. Lin Yue only sighed slightly, thinking that he was over forty years old, his sideburns were a little gray, and the wrinkles between his foreheads were becoming more and more obvious, and he remembered that even this child was ......

Then it is inevitable that he will not be slandered and framed by others in secret, and his eyes rarely have a trace of compassion.

Wang Heng thought for a while: "That kid is unconscious, and I don't remember a lot of things when I think about it." He was young, only seven years old. ”

Lin Yue took another book in his hand, and he only said lightly: "I was originally friends with the Qiu family, and now that the Qiu family has suffered this disaster, I should be sympathetic to this only son and let him live in the Lin Mansion." ”

It is said that it is a world friend, but it is a monarch and a minister.

However, now that the new dynasty has been established, what can a crappy little woman do? It is not impossible to stay and save some thin noodles for the Lin family.

Wang Heng only smiled: "Adults are really good-hearted. ”

Lin Yue laughed: "By the way, what's the child's name?"

Wang Heng thought for a moment: "Qiu Xin." ”

"That's a good name. Lin Yue's eyes were fixed on the book again, and the cover was written "Policy for the Minister".

"By the way, my lord," Wang Heng cleared his throat cautiously: "Princess An, the Holy Lord has issued a decree to let Princess An enroll in school next year. You are a prince, and the court will let Princess An come to the Lin Mansion regularly. ”

Lin Yue put down the book again: "I already know this news, it seems that the emperor loves Princess An very much." ”

"There is only one princess for the queen mother. Wang Heng added.

Lin Yue smiled: "This time, the Qingyang old demon of Qingqiu is going to be in a hurry." ”

Wang Heng didn't forget to smile: "How can Lord Yan be your opponent?"

"You've got a sweet mouth. Lin Yue waved his hand: "Go down." ”

The study room was quiet again, Lin Yue slowly put away the books in his hand, his eyes flashed, and he gently pulled open the last layer of cabinets under the table, and carefully pulled out a fine silk in good color.

The silk cloth was only old, and the color was a little yellow, Lin Yue gently unfolded the silk, only to see that only two lines of poetry were written on it:

Tsing Yi is wrapped in a solitary fragrance,

The top of the mountain is slightly green.

Lin Yue's heart seemed to be missing, as if he was riding on a flat boat, but he couldn't see the clear stream under the boat, and he felt terrible empty.

He only trembled and couldn't hold back: "Rong'er," he only muttered, "Rong'er, I can't stand you......"

However, fortunately, he bought off his wife a few years ago, and took the lead in replacing Qiu Xin and Princess An first, otherwise, their Qiu family and Lin family would really be extinct!
