Before it got dark, the people in the fishing village turned off the lights and fell asleep, and the fishing village under the moon was silent, with the occasional dog barking and the murmuring of the river not far away, making the movement so harmonious.

In the small courtyard, Yun Cheng's nephew and uncle are still sitting opposite each other on a bamboo bench.

"Fourth son, at what time now, your father is still lying on the sickbed for a long time, you don't stay in the palace to wait, but go to your uncle's house to play, how is this filial piety for the son of man? If it is known, will it not be criticized? Uncle Li said with a straight face.

Yun Cheng's face was full of grievances: "Uncle, you don't know, in this palace, except for the princess and the second brother, no one else can get close to his father." Now don't say that you are waiting, just to visit, you need to report to the princess for approval, and send someone to follow you to watch, the person who visited the patient is a meter away, and before he can talk to his father, he was sent out, how can I be filial? ”

"Is that the case in the palace? What about your mother? ”

"My mother is different from me, I can wait by my father's side every day, but I was ordered by the princess not to leave my father's bedroom for half a step, and my mother and I haven't met and talked for a long time!" Yuncheng lowered his head and sighed.

"In this case, you should stay in the palace honestly, read books every day, and help your brothers do things when you have nothing to do, so why go out of the palace at will and be talked about by others?" Although Uncle Li is educating his nephew, why isn't he worried about his young and ignorant nephew?

"Uncle taught me a great lesson! Yuncheng will return home early tomorrow morning to avoid criticism from others. Yuncheng smiled bitterly.

"Uncle will send you back early tomorrow morning." Uncle Li stretched out his hand to pat Yuncheng on the shoulder, but when he was in mid-air, thinking of his nephew's identity, he finally withdrew his hand silently.

Uncle Li thought of the girl who was at the mercy of others in the palace, but he couldn't help as an elder brother at all, and his face couldn't help but be a little bitter, he persuaded: "Fourth son! It's getting late, so you might as well rest early! ”

"Uncle, I'll sit down again!" Yuncheng replied sullenly.

Zhao Xian saw Uncle Li's expression in the house, and his rickety body when he returned to the house, guessing that he must be full of worries. Imagine that the concubines of ordinary families are not having a good time, let alone the concubines of the palace.

Uncle Li must be extremely worried about his sister-in-law and his only nephew, but he is also an ordinary fisherman, and all he can maintain is the food and clothing of the family, so how can he take care of more complicated things.

Wait a minute......! Wang fu? The light in Zhao Xian's eyes flickered, thinking that in Xiangyang City, which was quite close to this, in addition to the Chu Palace, was there any other palace?

Zhao Xian thought for a moment, and finally slowly opened the door and walked out of the house, quietly coming behind Yuncheng.

"Uncle, don't worry about me! In today's palace, several brothers are not often in the palace, and the princess will not care about a concubine like me, even if I come out for a few days, no one will notice! Yun Cheng thought that his uncle was gone and returned, and said without looking back.

"Ahem!" Zhao Xian cleared her throat in embarrassment and said, "It's me!" ”

"It turned out to be Sister Xian!" Yuncheng turned around and saw that it was Zhao Xian, and nodded politely.

Zhao Xian was silent, and then said with a smile: "The night is very good, but I can't sleep, is Brother Yuncheng willing to accompany me out for a walk?" ”

Yun Cheng looked at his uncle's room, and then looked at Zhao Xiantian standing calmly opposite, under the moonlight, her smile was so sincere and gentle, she couldn't help but think of her mother's soft smile on weekdays, her nose couldn't help but be sour, and she nodded silently.

"How old is Yoon-sung this year?" Zhao Xian and Yuncheng walked to the riverside and asked as if unintentionally.

"I ...... Twelve!" Yun Sung replied with a straightened chest.

"Yes! Not small! The current emperor has succeeded to the throne at the age of twelve and is above the court. Zhao Xian looked at the boy who was almost the same height as herself and said.

"I ...... is just a princess, how can he compare with the emperor. Yuncheng said deflated.

"The palace? But the Chu Palace? Your second brother is Zhao Yunsheng? Zhao Xian asked flatly.

"Huh? Sister Xian knows my second brother? Yun Cheng stopped curiously, then shrugged his shoulders and said: "The second brother is amazingly talented, and he is deeply loved by his father, and the women in Xiangyang City, who doesn't know the name of the second brother?" ”

Hearing Yuncheng's words, Zhao Xian knew that she had finally guessed correctly, and the boy in front of her was clearly Zhao Yuncheng, the fourth son of the King of Chu, if he really counted it, he was his cousin. Looking at this simple and lovely cousin, Zhao Xian unconsciously felt a little more love in her heart.

Zhao Xian smiled, stopped by the river, pointed to the river under the moonlight, and asked, "Do you know where this Han water comes from and where it flows?" ”

"I don't know!" Yuncheng replied honestly.

"Han water, from Ningqiang Prefecture Beiling Mound Mountain, flows eastward into the Yangtze River!" Zhao Xian said, "I think, don't say it's you, and your brothers may not know!" ”

"Sister Xian knows so much!" Yun Cheng praised.

"But I don't know how to rock a boat, I don't know how to fish, I don't know how to work hard for a year, and I can only feed a family, although you are younger than me, but you know more than me!" Zhao Xian gave a thumbs up and boasted.

Yun Cheng blushed and said, "It's useless to understand this!" ”

"The ruler is long, and the inch is short. Everyone has different strengths, so don't underestimate yourself, let alone be arrogant. I think that the son of the prince should be more concerned about the people's economy and people's livelihood, and don't learn those things that fight for power and profit! Zhao Xian said with a serious face.

After listening to this, Yun Cheng pondered it carefully, and said with admiration: "It's the first time I've heard someone say this, Sister Xian, you are much better than those pedants in the palace!" ”

Zhao Xian patted Yuncheng on the shoulder and said angrily: "You guy's mouth is very sweet!" ”

Yun Cheng was full of confidence in Zhao Xian's words, a smile already appeared on his face, the pear vortex at the corner of his mouth loomed, and he blinked his eyes and said: "Sister Xian, I know how to do it, I have to learn more from my brothers in the future." ”

"Oh? What did your brothers do? ”

"The eldest brother is the most benevolent, and has set up a 'nursing home' in Xiangyang City, specializing in helping orphans who have no one to adopt, and now has the best reputation among the people of Xiangyang City...... Ahem," Yuncheng coughed a few times.

Zhao Xian smiled narrowly: "Didn't your third brother Mo do something amazing?" It makes you cough non-stop. ”

Yun Cheng said: "Third brother, the third brother is the most generous, the most bold, and has the most friends...... Nothing else is special. ”

Zhao Xian sneered, thinking that Yuncheng's third brother is afraid that he is the most profligate, the so-called indulgence in drinking and singing is not the meaning of sleeping flowers and staying in the willows? It's just that Yuncheng is embarrassed to say it.

It seems that none of the sons of his eldest uncle, King Chu, are fuel-efficient lamps, except for the simple little white rabbit in front of him.

Zhao Xian saw that the time was almost up, and said, "I heard that you will return to Xiangyang City tomorrow morning, can you help my sister bring something to someone?" ”

Yun Cheng nodded hurriedly and said, "Although Sister Xian instructed, my younger brother can't do anything else, and it's still okay to help run errands and deliver letters." ”

Zhao Xian smiled, slowly took out a jade pendant from her waist, and solemnly handed it to Yun Cheng.
