The eleven sons born to Emperor Zhao of the Great Qijing, everyone sighed that he was talented, benevolent and generous, and intelligent and beautiful, but these have never been involved with the fifth son of the emperor, Yin Chengan.

In the eyes of the world, the son of the guilty concubine of the Taiji Palace, has a cowardly and incompetent temperament, and it is a great fortune to be able to survive in the deep palace, where can he ask for anything else.

The world is chaotic, and there are very few people whose hearts are like mirrors.

How many people only remember the appearance of the young man with his younger brother in the Shenfu Deep Palace with low eyebrows, but they forgot that three years ago, Yin Cheng'an of the Taiji Hall stood under the plum tree and looked up and hooked his lips, and he was also a very romantic teenager.

After three years of low eyebrows and silence, once reborn in Nirvana, he was glorious and noble.

Gu Nan raised his eyes to look at Yin Chengan, who just put down his pen and raised his head, his eyes were opposite, Yin Chengan hooked his lips and chuckled: "Taifu." ”

The handsome and graceful smile is eye-catching.

Gu Nan stood up and walked to the table, lowered his head and picked up the scroll on the table, looked at the annotations on it one by one, and unconsciously dyed a slight smile between his eyebrows.

"Not bad." Gu Nan put down the book: "Pay attention to the dà bureau, quite stylish." ”

Yin Chengxiu, who was next to him, held up the strategy scroll and spoke: "Look at me, Taifu." ”

Gu Nan smiled and took the book in his hand, just glanced at it, and laughed.

"Cultivate the text and learn the characters first, Your Highness the Seven."

The little prince blushed, reached out and grabbed the book and closed it: "Don't laugh, one day my handwriting will be very good." ”

Gu Nan naturally believed this.

Yin Chengan stood behind and looked at his younger brother, and then looked at the smiling Taifu, only to feel that his heart was full of softness.

March passed in a hurry, the plum blossoms of the Taiji Hall were gone, and the withered red fell on the stone table and the bluestone road, and was covered with new flowers.

In the past, the barren Taiji Hall can now enjoy the scenery.

Yin Cheng'an is smart and delicate, and soon knows what he has learned, and his temperament is introverted, and his gestures are faintly visible.

Compared with the previous life, there is less gloomy paranoia, and more enlightenment.

Another month later, Emperor Yin Xu of Jingzhao inspected the prince's strategy in the imperial study, and the princes over the age of eight were all in this list, and the prince followed him.

Emperor Jingzhao sat in the center, lowered his eyes and skimmed over the princes, paused when he saw Yin Cheng'an, and then moved away with the traces.

Except for Gu Nan and Yin Chengan, no one noticed.

Yin Chengan's eyes darkened, his face was still the same as before, and his calm bearing was deliberately put away, covered by cowardice and gloom.

After a stick of incense, Yin Xu came out of the exam question, and Gu Nan raised his eyes to see that it was a paragraph in the "Book of History".

The Book of the Past is divided into three volumes, the first volume is written by virtue, the second volume is written by the rule of people, and the third volume is written by the rule of the country.

It's just that Gu Nan inevitably figured out Emperor Jingzhao's intentions.

Because this "Book of the Ages" was written by the ancestors of the Wushuang Valley.

As a disciple of Wushuang Valley, Gu Nan has a clear understanding of the truth, and Yin Chengan assists Gu Nan, and under his influence, his understanding of the "Book of the Past World" is only a few points deeper than that of many contemporary Confucians.

As soon as the topic came out, the eldest prince Yin Chengqi got up and bowed, and talked eloquently from the rule of virtue to the rule of the country.

Emperor Jingzhao's sons, each of them is not mediocre, Gu Nan listened to Yin Chengqi's words, although it was not comprehensive, but he could also hear some truth from it, and he obviously put effort into reading.

Yin Xu was also quite satisfied with his eldest son, and then the second prince and the third prince all stood up and said something, and the wording was also exquisite.

The four princes have always been carefree, so they had to travel to magazines and dislike the strategy, so they stood up and fell into the wind and admitted: "What the royal brothers said is very good, and I will not show it." ”

Yin Xu knew his temperament, and smiled helplessly: "Sit down." ”

His eyes fell on Yin Chengan's body.

The room was silent for a while, Yin Chengan looked at Gu Nan quietly, the latter muttered for a moment, and shook his head at him vaguely.

Yin Cheng'an's eyes darkened, he got up and stood up and saluted before speaking, and halfway through speaking, the Taifu behind the rest of the princes couldn't help but shake their heads.

It's not that what he's saying is wrong, it's that most of what he's saying is retelling the words of others.

Except for the four princes, the rest of the princes also had a faint disdain on their faces.

Yin Xu listened to Yin Cheng'an's words, there was no unusual expression on his face, and he waved him to sit down.

At noon, he left the imperial study and returned to the Taiji Palace, and Yin Chengan did not speak along the way.

Gu Nan knew his thoughts, he had suffered a lot for three years, and he inevitably wanted to gain some respect for himself, but now he obviously had an opinion but couldn't say it, and he was ridiculed by them, so he naturally felt uncomfortable.

The young man's heart is the highest.

Yin Chengxiu was waiting outside the Taiji Hall half an hour ago, and when he saw the figures of Taifu and his brother from afar, he ran over with a smile: "Brother, how is today's exam?" ”

Yin Chengan was silent, and the little prince was not stupid, he looked at his brother and Taifu carefully, and reached out to hook his brother's hand.

The child's palms were soft and delicate, Yin Cheng'an's mood was a little better, but his face was still dark.

Gu Nan looked at his back and sighed.

How to coax the child to be arrogant, it's really sad.

Originally, I wanted to talk to Yin Chengan after dinner, but as soon as I put down the chopsticks, Pei Lengqiu came with an edict and summoned Gu Nan.

Gu Nan thanked the great eunuch for following him away, looking at his departing figure, a little worry flashed in Yin Chengan's dark eyes.

The little prince tugged at his brother's sleeve: "Brother, is Taifu going to be scolded?" ”

Hearing this, the darkness in Yin Chengan's eyes was a little deeper, and he reached out and touched the little prince's hair, but did not speak.

The Imperial Study.

Emperor Jing Zhao sat at the table, looked up when he heard the sound of the door opening, and smiled slightly: "Here, sit down." ”

Gu Nan sat down according to his words, and as soon as he sat down, he saw a book on the table - "Book of the Past".

Yin Xu followed his gaze and smiled: "You are also here today, what do you think of my princes?" ”

"Not mediocre." Gu Nandao.

"That's a bit too general." Emperor Jing Zhao glanced at him: "Gu Nan, if you talk about qualifications and ambitions, all of my princes are not bad, why did you choose Cheng'an?" ”

Gu Nan smiled and said nothing, stretched out his hand and pushed the book in front of him closer to Yin Xu: "Because, there is only one Yin Chengan that Gu Zhi still wants to assist." ”

Yin Xu was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he had also asked Gu Jingzhi such a question many years ago.

How did Gu Jingzhi answer at that time?

Yes. Yin Xu lowered his eyes and smiled, he also looked at himself with such a shallow smile back then, and said.

The person Gu Jingzhi wants to assist is only one Yin Xu.

Behind the promise in a flat tone, there are eight years of dedication regardless of returns, and eight years of exhausting planning.

Thinking of this, Yin Xu leaned back and squinted his eyes and smiled: "Sure enough, it is a disciple from the Wushuang Valley." "How similar.

Gu Nan nodded to him indifferently.

The wind suddenly rose around, lifted the book on the table, and finally stopped at the title page after the pages were turned, Gu Nan looked over, and the small Kai style bones on it were fully displayed - he was given to Yin Xu in the thirty years of the Great Qitian prayer, and he was willing to use this warning to show him that he would burn his ambition.

At the bottom, there is Gu Jingzhi's engraved seal.

Yin Xu also saw that moment, the depths of his eyes gradually softened, and he smiled: "That's it, if Jingzhi knew that I was embarrassing his disciple here, he wouldn't make me feel better...... Let's go back. ”

Gu Nan stood up and saluted: "The minister said goodbye." ”

Yin Xu snorted, stretched out his hand to touch Gu Jingzhi's words on the page, and when Gu Nan walked to the door, he suddenly spoke: "You and Cheng'an are doing well today, but according to Cheng'an's temperament, it is inevitable that there will be some depression in your heart, you go back and enlighten well, if the enlightenment fails, it will be good to dry him for a few days." ”

Hearing the end, Gu Nan wanted to laugh a little, thinking that the emperor of Daqi had been hung by Gu Jingzhi back then.

I wanted to laugh in my heart, but there was no show on my face, and I turned away.

Yin Xu's voice behind him was a little vicissitudes.

"If you have time, come to the imperial study to sit with me, Gu Nan."

Hearing this, Gu Nan paused and said softly, "Okay." ”

As soon as the door opened and closed, only Emperor Jingzhao was left in the imperial study.

He held the book and closed his eyes, his thoughts went back to the past, Gu Jingzhi stood under the tree and handed him the book, the smile on the corner of his lips was warmer than the spring light.

It's really old, Yin Xu thought.

When I get older, I start to like to reminisce about the past.

When you get old, you begin to learn to find your shadow in others.

Respectfully, we are getting old.

Out of the imperial study, Gu Nan walked in the direction of the Taiji Palace, and just after taking a few steps, he was stopped.

"Mrs. Gu."

He turned his head and saw a young man in a gorgeous robe standing behind him, his eyebrows and eyes merry.

The four princes who don't love power and love leisure, Yin Chengqing.

Gu Nan bowed his hand: "Your Royal Highness." ”

Yin Chengqing waved his hand: "No need to be polite, it looks like a master from a distance, so I called out, but fortunately there was no mistake." ”

Gu Nan smiled: "His Royal Highness's eyesight is outstanding, he can't be wrong...... If there is nothing to do, the minister will go back first, and there is a policy in the morning that has not been explained to the Fifth Highness in detail, for fear of delaying the matter. ”

After speaking, he turned around after saluting again, but was stopped by the palace people behind Yin Chengqing.

Gu Nan restrained his smile and looked at Yin Chengqing: "What does Fourth Highness mean by this?" ”

Yin Chengqing shook his head with a smile: "Just invite Mrs. Gu to be a guest, Mrs. Gu, please." ”

At night, outside the Taiji Hall, Yin Chengan stood outside holding Yin Chengxiu's hand, constantly looking.

It's May now, and the night is not cold, but Yin Chengan just feels cold.

Yin Chengxiu was still young, and he didn't know how to hide his thoughts, so he asked his brother with a crying voice: "Brother, can't the Taifu come back?" ”

"What nonsense!" Yin Chengan rarely frowned at his younger brother.

Yin Chengxiu's expression was even more sad: "I heard that the former Taifu of the eldest brother was beaten with sixty boards because the eldest brother did not answer his father's question, and he died that night...... How can Mrs. Gu's body be so weak? ”

Yin Chengan didn't speak, but he held his younger brother's hand but unconsciously tightened a little.

The more the little prince thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help crying: "I want Taifu, I want a little master, brother, I want a little master." ”

"Don't cry." Yin Chengan hugged him and put his palm on his cheek to wipe away his tears: "Didn't you say that you would fight in all directions in the future?" What's the matter with crying and crying, Taifu, Taifu will come back. ”

The little prince clenched his fists and tried to restrain his crying, sobbing and asking, "Really, really?" ”

The child's eyes were clear and bright, with full trust, and in the face of such eyes, Yin Chengan didn't know how to answer for a while.

He suddenly realized how naïve he was, because he was depressed for a while, but he didn't think that Gu Nan, who was his wife, was actually more difficult.

The prince is not talented, and he is to blame.

Yin Chengan only felt that his eyes were tingling, and he vaguely tasted the smell of blood in his mouth.

There was no wind, no rain and no thunder on this night, but he felt that his mood was not much different from the rainy night three years ago.

Yin Chengan hugged his younger brother and looked at the bluestone road outside the Taiji Palace, and I don't know how long it took, he suddenly saw a point of light faintly appearing at the end of the road.

A light like a bean.
