Li Xiuxiu hated Cui Keyin and Zhou Heng to the bone marrow, and she couldn't show a trace of it, kneeling in front of the Queen Mother and crying like a tearful person.

"The concubine's father is really wronged, I don't know why Lord Cui wants to hold the concubine's father to death. It stands to reason that when the concubine enters the palace, she has no relationship with King Jin, and will not pose a threat to Miss Cui......"

The queen frowned and said, "There is no need to say this again. Now that the human and material evidence are there, what can Dingxinghou do if he quibbles? As an imperial concubine, you don't say that you share worries for the emperor, but rely on the emperor's mercy, how can you be listed as a concubine if you persecute the emperor like this? ”

Fake pregnancy hurt the emperor's self-esteem, and the queen thought about it again and again, but still did not reveal the truth. It's just that she categorically can't allow Li Xiuxiu to be so swaggering.

Emperor An demoted Li Mingfeng from Hou to Bo, which was for Dingxingbo. Although there were many people in the civil service who were dissatisfied, especially Tang Tianzheng, the emperor made concessions and gave them steps, and if they continued to make trouble, it would be unreasonable. To persecute the master, you have to stand on the moral high ground.

When Emperor An drove back to the palace to appease Li Xiuxiu, the civil officials discussed it and went back. Only Zhou Heng and Cui Keyin smiled bitterly at each other in Yihua Garden, the snow has stopped, and the hour is not early, it is time to go back.

Zhou Heng said apologetically: "After a while, Brother Ming Huang, let's come over to play again." ”

Cui Keyin shook her head and said, "No need." As long as you're in a good mood, it's the same anywhere you enjoy the snow. ”

Also. Zhou Heng smiled: "I will invite you to come over in two days, and we will gather quietly for a day." ”

No one bothered.

Cui Keyin responded.

Back in Xinglin Hutong, Cui Zhenyi has not returned home. Jiang Shi had already received the news, and he was happy to get it, and said: "I have ordered the kitchen to prepare a pot, and we will have a good meal and celebrate." ”

Cui Keyin said: "The disposal is still too light. ”

It's just that it was reduced to Dingxingbo, and the danger has not been lifted. Besides, Li Xiuxiu made such a fuss, which can be regarded as a sign in Emperor Zhi'an's heart, and he may not know when he will come/luckily, in case he is really pregnant. Isn't there endless trouble?

Jiang sighed: "It's not easy. Your uncle and uncle picked up the lamp and wrote the recital. Which night wasn't written about the third watch? ”

But the emperor didn't look at it at all. Cui Keyin said with a smile: "If it can end like this, it will finally come to an end for the time being." ”

Zhou Heng said: "Who knows what will happen in the future." It's better to take one step at a time, but you can complete the journey unconsciously. Look back. The scenery is different. ”

"Not really." Cui Keyin smiled and said, "It's because I'm too anxious, and I always want to eliminate the troubles at once." ”

There is a queen in the palace. Presumably Li Xiuxiu is not so easy to make waves.

Jiang left Zhou Heng for dinner, and Zhou Heng said: "I have something to discuss with my uncle." ”

Jiang Shi hurriedly asked the little servant to ask Cui Zhenyi to go down early. The little guy came back quickly and said, "The master was invited to the Drunken Immortal Building by several adults, saying that he wanted to celebrate." ”

Congratulations on another victory for the civilian clique.

"In that case, I'll take my leave." Zhou Heng got up and said, "I want to build a pavilion, I don't know where to build it, I want Ke Yin to help me take a look." ”

Jiang Shi retained and said, "Let Mu Hua accompany the prince." Glancing at Cui Keyin, he said, "Ming'er asked Keyin to go over." ”

Cui Muhua happened to come back from the Guozi Prison, and when he heard the words inside at the door, he hurriedly stepped into the inner salute, and then said: "It just so happens that the prince is here, and the news has spread in the Guozi Prison, and everything is said." I don't know what the real situation is, but I asked the prince to tell me in the next voice. ”

The students of Guozijian were also scholars, the future pillars of the empire, and they were equally concerned about this matter.

Zhou Heng briefly said what had happened. Cui Zhenyi learned that Zhou Heng had come to Xinglin Hutong and immediately rushed back. That night, the three of them drank together until they were half drunk, and Zhou Heng said goodbye and went back.

The next day, Zhou Heng came to pick up Cui Keyin and went to the Jin Palace.

The Jin Palace, located in Liyu Hutong, was originally the residence of a prime minister during the Taizu period. Taizu dismissed Zhongshu Province, divided six departments, and the subordinate officials of Zhongshu Province were reformed, but the remaining Zhongshu people were retired. It was precisely because of this prime minister's many lawlessness that he was convicted that Taizu made up his mind to dismiss Zhongshu Province. The mansion is very large, large-scale, and beautifully paviliond.

Zhou Heng was ordered to enter Beijing, and Emperor An cared about brotherhood, and with a wave of his hand, he gave this mansion to Zhou Heng to build a mansion. At that time, the Queen Mother had a grudge against Zhou Heng, but Emperor An's words had already been spoken, and it was difficult to refute his face. In this way, this became the palace of the king of Jin.

Cui Keyin originally thought that Zhou Heng was summoned to Beijing for house arrest, and the mansion must be dilapidated and cramped, but she didn't expect it to be so magnificent, and it was newly renovated, which was very unexpected.

Zhou Heng is now living on the director's house, only in the study named Biyunju. It was a courtyard located on the east side of the front yard, and a large number of peach blossoms were planted in the front yard, and when the peach blossoms bloomed in spring, they were as bright as clouds; In summer, peaches hang on the branches and can be picked at your fingertips.

Facing the landlord is Zhou Heng's bedroom, and when you open the window, you can see a grape trellis in the backyard, and a set of stone chairs under the grape trellis; The three wings on the west side were opened, which served as the place where Zhou Heng's office and staff discussed on weekdays.

At this time, Cui Keyin stood under the peach tree and said with a smile: "You really wasted such a big mansion." ”

"When we got married, this was just my place to work." Zhou Heng smiled slightly and said, "You've seen it all, where did you choose it as our bedroom?" ”

The backyard is too big, and Cui Keyin is difficult to choose for a while. She said, "I need to think about it, and I'll tell you when I'm done." ”

The house of this mansion, the master and the slave, are enough to live more than 1,000 people, and each courtyard has its own characteristics, and it is normal for Cui Keyin to have difficulty choosing for a while.

"Good. When you're ready, tell me, and I'll have someone renovate it the way you like. Zhou Heng took Cui Keyin's hand and said, "The place to enjoy the snow is still in the Songhe Pavilion, right?" There must be a ground dragon, which is the place where the original owner appreciates the snow. ”

obviously picked a good place, and tricked her to come. Cui Keyin glanced at him and said, "You, cunning and cunning." ”

"Hee-hee." Zhou Heng just smiled and spread rice paper on the rosewood bookcase in the study.

"Do you want to write?" Cui Keyin naturally picked up the ink next to the inkstone and gently grinded it.

After the ink was polished, Zhou Heng started painting on the rice paper.

Cui Keyin stood aside and watched, the more she looked at it, her eyes got bigger and bigger, and she said, "This is ......"

In the painting, she is a girl who is extremely beautiful, her eyes are like paint, the bridge of her nose is straight, her small and ruddy cherry lips, her slender neck, and she is sitting elegantly on the bamboo couch under the peach tree, but who is Cui Keyin?

Zhou Heng finished drawing, put down the pen, looked her up and down, and said, "It's not as good-looking as a real person." ”

It's a sycophant, right? obviously painted her charm and temperament vividly.

"So your drawings are so good." Cui Keyin smiled and said, "Can you send me?" ”

Zhou Heng leaned forward and said, "That's not good, I rely on this painting to comfort the pain of lovesickness." ”

He didn't look at her when he painted, and with a stroke of the pen, he would pretend to be at this time. Cui Keyin said: "Do you want to say, I have always been in your heart?" (To be continued......)
