Shangjing, inside the Forbidden City.

There is a story that spreads in the palace that some time ago, the third prince Zhao Gan ran out of the palace, escaped the marriage contract with the talented girl Chen Nuonuo, and went to Lanzhou in the south, and was later arrested.

On the day I returned to the palace, the palace was really lively.

First of all, Chen Xian University entered the palace to see the driver to seek justice for his daughter Chen Nuonuo, knelt in front of His Majesty, cried and whimpered, and asked His Majesty to uphold justice, otherwise he would be forced to die.

His Majesty the Emperor was also angry at Zhao Gan's absurd behavior, comforted Chen Xian a few words, and sent Zhao Gan into the imperial study with the next holy decree.

Zhao Qian knelt in the imperial study, bowed his head and admitted his mistake, looked at the left and right to talk about other things, and then opened his mouth and closed his mouth to talk about the infinite scenery of Lanzhou, the sea and the sky, and the father should go on a trip, and finally did not forget to mention: "Scholar Chen, you should also go if you have a chance." ”

Chen Xian was stunned for a moment, and understood in his heart that this was the third prince's plan to delay the army, so he just stood up, knelt on the ground with a plop, and grabbed the ground with his head.

His Majesty the Emperor was angry in his heart, not only angry with Zhao Gan, but also angry with this Chen Xian, so he practiced closed-mouth meditation, did not care about the affairs of the audience, and took care of himself to review the chapters.

The three princes, Zhao Gan and Chen Xiao, knelt on the ground, and knelt for a whole day.

Later, Chen Nuonuo also entered the palace, met the queen, cried with tears on his face, and returned to the main topic in the last few sentences: "The people entered the palace and begged the queen to say a few words to His Majesty, and the third prince was tired when he came back from Lanzhou, and he should not kneel again." And my father is too old to stand this sin. The father is all for the people's daughter, and I hope the queen understands. ”

The queen nodded, thinking that what Chen Nuonuo said was good, so she went to the imperial study and comforted the emperor with a few words.

His Majesty's anger also disappeared by half, and he asked, "Zhao Gan, why don't you want to marry Chen Nuonuo?" ”

Zhao Qian touched his nose and said with some twists: "There is a hidden secret, and I can't say it explicitly." ”

His Majesty was furious, slammed the table, and scolded: "Ridiculous, what can't be said at this moment? ”

Zhao Qian sighed and said in a low voice: "Father, there is really a secret, so I can only talk to Scholar Chen." ”

The queen mother came out of the round and comforted Her Majesty and said: "Your Majesty, although Qian'er's behavior is absurd, she still understands the general situation, and maybe there is a hidden secret. Then he turned to Zhao Qian and said, "Qian'er, you can tell Scholar Chen about your secret." ”

Zhao Qian stood up, helped Chen Xian, and the two walked to a corner.

Zhao Qian coughed lowly, lowered his voice and said, "I can't." ”

"No way?" Chen Xian didn't expect Zhao Qian to say such a sentence, but he didn't understand the meaning, and said with a frown.

Zhao Qian patted Chen Xian's shoulder, if it was usual, Chen Xian was categorically displeased, because this action of patting the shoulder was against etiquette, but today's attention was completely on the word "no", and he didn't pay too much attention.

Zhao Qian stretched out his hand and pointed to his crotch, with a helpless expression on his face, and said, "I can't do it?" ”

Chen Xian's face suddenly became very exciting, he didn't expect things to be like this, besides, as a university scholar, he can't check it on the spot!

Zhao Qian said with regret: "Miss Chen is young and beautiful, and she is a rare talented woman, no one likes her, but for Miss Chen, I can't marry her." Scholar, don't look at me as a prince, but there are always unspeakable hidden, in fact, I really want to do it! ”

His Majesty the Emperor coughed a few times, which was regarded as a reminder to the two of them, and asked, "Chen Xian, what else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Xian turned his head and looked at the third prince Zhao Gan, Zhao Gan spread his hands, and motioned for you to speak.

Chen Xian was in a dilemma, don't say it, this dumb man who escaped from marriage has to swallow it by himself, say it, this is in front of His Majesty and the queen, some words are really difficult to say, and finally Chen Xian said: "Your Majesty, let's drag it out with the old minister's view of the marriage." ”

His Majesty the Emperor frowned, all displeased, tossing for a day, but the result was still unresolved, and he was angry for a while, and threw his sleeves away.

An excellent queen knows how to clean up this kind of mess for His Majesty the Emperor, and our queen is an excellent queen, and said: "Zhao Gan's escape from marriage is a big crime to lose the dignity of the royal family. But Scholar Chen has already made it clear that the marriage period can be delayed, so Zhao Gan's sins will not be cured here, but punishment is inevitable, Zhao Gan thought about it for a month to set an example. Come on, help the scholars up, and take good care of them. After saying that, the person also came out of the imperial study.

The queen came to the imperial garden and saw that Her Majesty was sitting in the stone pavilion drinking tea, and sat down.

His Majesty spoke: "This Chen Xian is stubborn, he must have thought of his words before entering the palace. It's just that before he had a chance to say it, he was dissolved by Qian'er. I don't know what Qian'er said. ”

The queen smiled lightly, got up and came behind His Majesty, gently pressed His Majesty's shoulder, and said: "The concubine doesn't know, Qian'er has always been thoughtful, and what she wants to say is incredible. ”

His Majesty snorted coldly, reached out to hold a pair of hands on his shoulders, and naturally, said, "It must be ridiculous words. By the way, this time you went to Lanzhou, did you encounter anything interesting, tell me. "Your Majesty has changed the title, no longer me, but me, no longer the queen, but you, just like when she played in West Lake, she didn't know that he was the prince, and he was tripped by her.

The queen smiled lightly at the corner of her mouth, remembered her trip in Lanzhou, remembered it vividly, and said: "I met a wonderful person in Lanzhou......"

In the imperial study, Zhao Qian helped Chen Xian, the two glanced at each other, and sighed at the same time.

Chen Xian opened his mouth and said: "The third prince, people are old and talk a lot, if you don't dislike it, I'll say a few more words?" ”

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Scholar, just say it." ”

Chen Xian sighed again and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are attached, and they are benevolent and generous. I also valued this, so I had the courage to enter the palace to talk about marriage. If I were the emperor of the previous dynasty, I would not be a scholar like me, and I would have lost nine lives. As for what the prince said...... 'no', I don't believe it when I am killed. ”

Zhao Qian smiled silently and listened quietly to the following words.

Chen Xian continued: "In the past, the old man didn't know why Nuo Nuo had a soft spot for the third prince, but today this matter may be seen one or two, looking at the whole person from the small things, although the prince's words of shirk are absurd, but it blocked the old man's words, and he can't say more in front of His Majesty, so he can only suffer this dumb loss." The prince is a ...... Free and easy people. ”

Zhao Qian smiled very cheaply and shyly.

………………………

The little eunuch Yu Gui recently encountered a very troublesome matter, the eunuch Wei Gonggong of the palace, the eunuch Bingbi, transferred himself from the imperial study and assigned it to Zhao Qian. Gonggong Hai looked at Yu Gui's eyes obediently at that time, some respectful, some envious, and the tone of his voice was a little humble.

Then Xiao Yu Gui heard a thunderbolt from the sky—Zhao Qian turned out to be the prince—except for Yu Gui, which was a secret that the whole palace knew.

Yu Gui suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and his steps were light.

Father-in-law Hai hurriedly supported Yu Gui and said in his father-in-law's unique sharp voice: "This is a great blessing, why are you still afraid." ”

Yu Gui has lived tremblingly in the palace for several years, but he never expected that Zhao Qian would be the current prince, what is the prince? Obediently, Yu Gui didn't dare to think about it, but then again, being able to enter the imperial study without authorization and eat pastries in the imperial dining room every day is definitely not a simple son of the powerful. Yu Gui thought of the words he usually taught Zhao Gan again: "Zhao Gan, Your Majesty, you must know to cherish blessings and lives, and don't be ignorant." It made Yu Gui even more frightened, and he couldn't help but slap himself twice.

Gonggong Hai really didn't understand what Yu Gui was thinking, so he took Yu Gui's hand and said, "If others encounter this good thing, they will definitely be overjoyed, why are you still snorting." ”

Yu Gui couldn't say the bitterness in his heart, so he could only follow behind Gonggong Hai and went to Zhao Gan's residence, Qiandong Wusuo, logically speaking, the prince should not live in the palace when he is an adult, but there are not many heirs of His Majesty today, four princes and a princess, the eldest prince died early, the fourth prince Zhao Ting is young, Princess Roujia is the treasure of the whole palace, His Majesty and the queen are reluctant to send her out, the second prince Zhao Shuo and Zhao Qian have become adults, especially Zhao Shuo has become a family and married the prime minister's daughter, but the two princes still live in the palace.

Recently, Zhao Gan was grounded, and after thinking about it, Yu Gui entered the room tremblingly, his calves and stomach were still trembling, and Gonggong Hai exited the room very interestingly.

Yu Gui lowered his head, looked at his toes, and did not dare to raise his head.

Zhao Qian walked up to Yu Gui and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days, don't you know each other?" ”

Yu Gui knelt on the ground, and said again and again: "The slave should die, the slave should die." ”

Zhao Qian sighed, picked up Yu Gui, and said, "After knowing your identity, you can no longer get along as equals." ”

Equality - this is the first time Yu Gui has heard this word, and his head can't turn for a while, masters and slaves, nobles and sluts, officials and ordinary people, can they be equal? Yu Gui was puzzled and didn't understand.

In the days to come, Zhao Gan thought about it, and Yu Gui gradually adapted to the current life, although his words and deeds were still restrained, but they were greatly improved.

Yu Gui always felt that Zhao Qian had changed, he had become mature, and his words and deeds were much more stable, but he had also become more irritable, and he often got angry at every turn. Sometimes I would sit there in a daze at a crumpled silver ticket. This is also what Yu Gui doesn't understand, what's so good about a silver ticket, if you need to, go directly to the palace treasury and take a random one is a lot bigger than this denomination.

Another thing is also very strange, every day Father-in-law Hai will hand Yu Gui a note, sometimes one or two sentences written on the note, sometimes a whole paragraph, more or less irregular.

Then asked Yu Gui to hand it over to Zhao Gan, and Zhao Gan was overjoyed every time he saw the note, as if he had eaten honey.

Yu Gui had also secretly glanced at the small note a few times, but he didn't know every word.

Yu Gui can write, but he doesn't know how to read, but he is extremely happy to see Zhao Gan, and he also thinks that it is something to be happy about. In fact, what was written on the note was all about some small things about sesame mung beans.

"Lin Wan'er bought a carriage, which is very luxurious, and it is the largest carriage in the city."

"Lin Wan'er and Winterworm competed to drive, but they lost, and people were very unhappy."

"Lin Wan'er went out today and picked up a copper plate, and she was happy all day."

"Lin Wan'er went to Huafang Street and chatted with Chen Xiaoxiao all day."

"Lin Wan'er took Dabao, Baoyu and Yubao to the Half Moon Bookstore."

………

Zhao Gan's happiness, distress, sadness, and excitement are all closely related to this note.

(I don't know what to call it!) ）
