- "Where catkins fly flowers, swifts peck at spring mud, green and red weeping branches, and spring water near the sand bank."

In the octagonal pavilion in the east courtyard of the Qingfeng Pavilion, a young man dressed in a blue-edged soap suit and a leather sheath knife hanging from his waist pressed the railing with one hand and a silver wine glass with the other, smacking the spicy taste of the wine on the tip of his tongue, and then slowly chanted two crosses.

In front of him, there were no flowers, no willows, no warblers and no swallows, only a dozen Kyoto prefectural officials searched in and out of several rooms, and from time to time there was a slight harsh noise from the sound of pottery, wood and other things being broken or broken.

Behind him, at the stone table with two plates of pastries and a pot of wine, a young man of his age sat at the table. He bent his elbows and spread out his hands to hold his face, staring fixedly at the two plates of pastries, and his phoenix eyes were not very bright.

Days like this have been repeated since I opened my eyes in the morning, and several days have passed.

After experiencing the events of the last few days, Shi Yi felt as if he had not woken up from a dream, and after a night, many things had changed, and several people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

He looked at the plate of pastries in front of him in amazement, only to feel that his mouth was dry, and he didn't mean to reach out to touch the pastry at all. His eyes were not really looking at the delicate pastry in the porcelain plate, but at an ant struggling to carry a pastry crumb under the plate.

The meaning of an ant's life is probably whether it can move food several times larger than its body, and as for other things, you don't have to worry about it. Is it much easier to be an ant than to be a human? After all...... All you need to do is brute force.

On the stone table, an ant carries a grain of pastry crumbs and moves slowly. Its pure black body was so small that it was almost completely crushed underneath by pastry crumbs. At first glance, it looks like it's just a pastry crumb walking.

Shi Yi looked at this ant, and all thoughts flashed in his heart, and in the end, only one was left. He silently recited: If you work harder, it's almost there, little ant......

At that moment, however, a finger was pressed down.

The little ant struggled a lot. In the end, he failed to bring home the sweet pastries he was lucky enough to find, failed to taste them, failed to summon the ant clan to enjoy the treasure on the stone table, and only left its body on the stone table. Dead on the food it was trying to carry.

Shi Yi was slightly stunned, and after a while, he raised his head and looked at the young man in soap clothes standing opposite the stone table.

This young man wearing the official uniform of the head of the Kyoto Prefecture Prison is actually Han Jingqing, the fourth son of Han Shiru, the lord of the prefecture. The fourth son of Lord Yin is not very famous in Kyoto, because he has been studying in other places for the past three years, and it is thanks to this that he can ask for the official uniform of the official team leader and put it on himself.

And the reason why he did it was for a righteous word. Because of a case handled by Kyoto Prefecture this time, it involved his classmate and friend.

Shi Yi was also surprised when he saw his old classmate wearing this outfit in front of him for the first time, because he had been with Han Jingqing for three years, and he had never heard Han mention that he still had such an identity.

But. It's a coincidence. After three years in the school, it was precisely because Shi Yi did not ask about Han's family background and only exchanged knowledge with him that Han was willing to make friends with Shi Yi. During that time, Han Jingqing had an awkward quarrel with his father, and did not agree with his father to ask him to study the current mainstream four classics, six books and thirteen classics for scientific examination.

But this lonely and hard time of studying. Han Jingqing only lasted about half a year. Because his interest in arithmetic is really hot, and his family has cut off his living expenses, his dream is so vulnerable in the face of reality. Fortunately, at this time, with Shi Yi's funding, Han Jingqing was able to stay outside for three years and barely get a certificate of completion. Returned home after three years. His father didn't say anything more, Han Jingqing was very grateful to Shi Yi for this matter, the young man had nothing, but he was extremely face-heavy.

However, Han Jingqing obviously didn't know Shi Yi's real intention in funding him for those three years.

During those three years of study. Shi Yi didn't ask about Han Jingqing's family background, because he himself also had a background that was not easy to explain. The identity of Qinglou's son is more annoying when he says it than when he doesn't say it. Shi Yi didn't ask about Han Jingqing's family, and Han Jingqing wouldn't ask the other way, so the two of them had a very pure friendship for three years.

But during that time, although Shi Yi didn't know anything about Han Jingqing, he still saw that this Han classmate was extraordinary.

Han knows a lot of local customs, and will have very unique opinions on things from time to time, the most curious and surprising thing for Shi Yi is that Han has a very clear understanding of many systems in the current dynasty, which is really a valuable and must be grasped by Shi Yi as a visitor from another world. Putting aside the material factor, approaching such a character can always bring you some progress.

As for the cost of living, Han's style is still very upright, except for not studying arithmetic, often missing classes, sleeping a lot during the day, a little lazy, and no other vices. To make friends with someone like him, as long as you are willing to lend him your schoolwork for reference, and take him to a restaurant every once in a while to open meat, it's almost the same.

During the three years in the school, getting along with classmate Han made Shi Yi feel like he had returned to the university campus in his previous life. Of course, the environment of the school is not as rich as that of the university campus, there are no beautiful senior sisters, senior sisters, and students of different ages, and their respective identities are still a little complicated.

It's such a learning environment that cultivates the accumulated friendships, but it is particularly precious.

……

……

When the third son of the emperor Wang Zhe was four years old, he learned to walk, sit and stand and worship, and later the mother who taught the etiquette had her hair burned all overnight. Then he changed to a ceremonial officer to continue teaching, and the next day the handful of beautiful hair that this person had accumulated for several years was cut off by Qi Gen, and his jaw became a barren place. It hurt this ceremonial official to go out without face for half a year, and he was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, and almost hanged himself at home.

When Wang Zhe was eight years old, he did even more deviant. Although the previous dynasty of the Zhou calendar was returned to dust, the spiritual tablets of the former monarchs in the Taimiao were still ordered to be kept by the new monarch today, but they were only sealed in a few boxes. Five-year-old Wang Zhe liked to make boats with wood chips for a while, and he couldn't find wood anywhere, so he just stared at the boxes in the Taimiao. By the time the emperor found out, Wang Zhe had already broken the spirit cards of the four emperors of the previous dynasty.

If it weren't for the fact that he was small and weak at that time, the emperor's spiritual position card was made of the strongest material, and perhaps none of the emperor's spiritual tablets of the previous dynasty were spared.

The strictest time was when Wang Zhe set fire to the library building. He just didn't like to memorize the dull and obscure scriptures. Annoyed why the princess's sister and the second prince's brother could not read, he forced him to read and recite hard, so one day, he thought very childishly. If you burn them, you don't have to read them.

Wang Zhe was the first to burn a library building in the west of Taixue, which collected some messy manuscripts, which are said to have been left by scholars of the previous dynasty. Wang Zhe thinks that these unwritten pieces of paper should be the cheapest thing to learn from Taixue, anyway, after observing for a few days, he found that there are indeed few people who want to come here to find books to study. Where it is not taken seriously, even if it is discovered by his father that he set it on fire, he will not be punished too much.

He never expected that these manuscripts that he burned because of his accident were a batch of unrepeatable orphan manuscripts left over from the previous dynasty. It's not that it's not valued because of the shallowness of wisdom, it's too precious. Only university scholars who are responsible for the preparation of these manuscripts are allowed to enter the building every day. But because of the fact that it involved the previous dynasty, for Wang Zhe, who had just turned six years old at the time, the people in Taixue only thought that he had not yet reached the age to understand this, and did not mention much about the mysteries in the library building of the West Courtyard.

As a result, this library building was mistaken by Wang Zhe as the "cheapest" building in Taixue, on a lacquer night. It was ignited by Wang Zhe with a grass target. The fire rose from the inside, and by the time the fireworks were visible outside, the building was already in flames. The manuscript paper that had been ordered to be soaked in oil by the emperor in order to prevent moths and stabilize the ink instantly became a flame, and the fire in the library building of the West Courtyard of Taixue Mansion quickly got out of control.

Originally, this library building was a fireproof place because of the preciousness of the manuscripts inside, and nearly half of the manuscripts were soaked in insect-proof camphor. But the guards guarding the building ignored the "dangerous person" of the third prince, and only thought that the young third prince was curious to go in and take a look. Soon it came out. I really couldn't imagine that the emperor's son would burn down the library that he attached great importance to Lao Tzu.

In the protection of the library building, the significance of fire prevention is greater than that of fire extinguishing. Because as early as when the emperor ordered the manuscript to be soaked in oil, there were officials of the Ministry of Industry who protested, because in this way, once a fire broke out. It is simply impossible to extinguish. At that time, the emperor had a resolute attitude and blocked the opposition of the Ministry of Industry, in fact, if it were not for this accident, the fire prevention regulations set up by the emperor later should be extremely safe.

The building burned. The manuscripts were all destroyed, and the most fatal thing was that the burning of the building really burned people's lives.

Before setting the fire, Wang Zhe, the third prince, entered the building to see it, and clearly remembered that there was no one. But he was too small to fully see the things in the building, and when he later cleaned up the scene, Yu Linwei found the remains of the two scholars under several tables. Counting the things at the scene, he ruled out the possibility of the murderous dagger killing the prince, but also found several deformed flasks that had fallen from the scholar's hand. It can be inferred from this that the scholar was burned to death in a drunken coma, and if the third prince hadn't ignored someone in the building because of this, he might not have caused a tragedy, which was considered manslaughter.

In the process of compiling books entrusted by the emperor, civil officials drank a lot of alcohol in the workplace so openly, in order to desecrate their knowledge and deceive the emperor. But though there is sin, sin does not lead to death.

In this way, although the third prince Wang Zhe was exempted from death to atone for his sins, he also received a hundred boards and was punished five times. Every time he received the board, the third prince Wang Zhe was beaten extremely badly, and he needed to stay in bed for at least half a month. It took a year to get a hundred boards, new injuries and old injuries, Wang Zhe, who was only a six-year-old child, was no longer immature on his buttocks, and had a thick scab.

The harem slaves and maids who served the third prince Wang Zhe to smear the wound medicine, every time they saw someone who was not distressed, the news spread. When the officials in Beijing saw that the emperor really punished the prince ruthlessly, they were almost beaten to death, and even those long-tongued officials who made merit by provoking trouble did not dare to mention the matter of the prince burning people by mistake.

――――

However, only the second prince knew that the emperor's punishment of the third prince actually left his hands remaining.

There are some old things, the emperor originally planned to hide even the second prince, but the case of burning the library building and killing the university scholar by mistake, the emperor really couldn't help but stop talking about it.

Back then, the second prince only went to see the third brother once, and after he came back, he repeatedly pleaded in front of the emperor, until he was so tired that he himself was sick, but he still didn't give up, and ran to the imperial study from time to time with his sick body. The emperor was worried that if the second son continued to toss like this, his body would be completely dragged down, so he finally quietly loosened the seal.

Knowing the true side of the situation, the second prince Wang Hong really stopped mentioning the matter of interceding for the third brother, and was born in the palace to recuperate. Because the third brother actually did a crime, hitting the board was a light punishment.

But that time. The second prince, who was only one year older than the third prince, was greatly impacted. For the first time, I understood what this means was.

And because of this. The second prince has shown a calm temperament since he was very early and at a young age. Of course, this is because he is physically weak and cannot be as cheerful as ordinary children of the same age, so he has a calm appearance. But the truth of what happened back then also played a role here, so that when the second prince Wang Hong looked at some things, he naturally developed the consciousness of thinking twice before acting.

――――

The course of the case of the burner of the university that year is not exactly what the criminal department listed in the file after the trial, in several key points. The opportunity was artificially changed, and the final result was affected by the reliance.

If it weren't for the emperor sending a skilled commander to be a snitch, he quietly hid in the ruins of the library building with the light body of a ghost and god in front of everyone's eyes, and threw a few wine bottles into it to forge it. Another crime was given to the two learned scribes who died in vain. So even if the three princes save their lives as princes, I am afraid that the stain on their lives will be carried for life, whether it is for the future or the king, or the inheritance of the unification, this is an obstacle that cannot be ignored.

There are also those slaves and maids who help the three princes apply wound medicine, and they are all specially selected by the emperor to collect information and observe, and more than 20 slaves and maids who like to have long tongues and broken mouths behind their backs. Every day, when the imperial doctor of the Taiyi Bureau changed the medicine for the three princes, the emperor took someone to see it on his behalf. made a female official, with the Xiao tongue slave and maid to stand beside in the name of helping, and still a few people took turns to change values. In this way, even if they don't talk about it afterwards, they can ensure that many slaves and maids remember it in their hearts.

How can these slaves and maids who don't understand medical science really help much, the emperor just wants them to see how badly the three princes are injured by the board, so that they can give full play to their ability to have many mouths and long tongues. Spread the word out of the palace to let those Beijing officials who disagreed with the prince's punishment hear. And the emperor himself in the court, but did not mention the three princes, and occasionally there were ministers in the palace who mentioned a few words, but the emperor had to make a cold face about it.

In order to repair the image of the three princes who know their mistakes and can change them in the hearts of all the Beijing officials, it will not affect his prestige in the hearts of the ministers and workers in the future. The emperor boiled some brains, and the results were not bad. Up to now, most of the Beijing officials have almost forgotten what happened back then, and those who remember it only regard it as a meaningless old case, and they don't even bother to mention it in the after-dinner conversation.

But at the time of the incident, the emperor was still quite worried that if Wang Zhe was left in the palace again, how many sins would be born in vain. Even if the emperor's power covers the sky, he can't withstand such a toss. So, after the third prince Wang Hong received the last ten plates and recuperated for a year, he left the palace at the age of seven.

In the palace, he can mess around like this, and every time he asks the emperor to clean up the mess, in the long run, it will only encourage his playfulness that he doesn't know how to rein. Because of a play with words, he wasted his life at the age of six, and he must no longer be connived up. Just leave him to go to the palace to practice, maybe only setbacks can make him know what cherishing is, and if he can train his mind outside, it will be of great benefit to entrust the military power to the future and order him to assist the second prince.

Maybe he is outside the palace and sometimes encounters life-related dangers, but it is better than nesting in the deep palace and boiling frogs in warm water to kill himself!

It's a man, afraid of what danger and setbacks.

――――

At this moment, in the main hall of the reception of no outsiders in Huayang Palace, the emperor lightly mentioned the events of the year, a pair of children sitting next to him, and a trace of doubt appeared in the eyes of his daughter Wang Qing, but his son Wang Hong instantly remembered the events of the year.

When he was a child, the third brother Wang Zhe, did keep making trouble in the palace, and as a result of his troubles, the nature of Yan zhòng was gradually intensifying.

Now that he has been training outside for many years and has grown up, has this temperament been reined in?

Wang Hong thought silently for a moment, but came up with a negative result.

He remembered that incident three years ago. On that day, he and his third brother went to the east coast with his father to participate in the spring shipping ceremony, and then took the same ride back to the palace.

At that time, Ye Zhengming was just a little sluggish and didn't seem to be very happy, Wang Zhe was in a hurry at that time and threatened to throw him into the car.

Wang Zhe's personality has not changed much, and he is still an easy person. It is only in recent years that his self-restraint has been trained. However, there will be times when he will be angry again, and in the midst of his anger, he is still prone to do things that are out of the ordinary. This kind of character is extremely unfavorable to an emperor who rules the country.

Now that he hears his father mention the sins committed by his third brother back then, the second prince Wang Hong will no longer be as shocked as he was when he first heard about it that year. And the father used this example to belittle the third brother for not having the ability to be an emperor, and the second prince Wang Hong thought about it and couldn't find any big objections.

But when the emperor's long words came halfway through. Wang Hong's expression was still stunned.

Because the emperor mentioned one thing.

The fixed garrison army of Nanzhao was still divided into three state armies according to the division of the previous dynasty, and the strength of each army was slightly different. But they all hovered between less than 500,000 and more than 400,000. The emperor gave Wang Zhe the seal of the superintendent of a state army, and no matter which state army it belonged to, there were at least 400,000 people.

It seems that although Wang Zhe has not returned to Kyoto, it seems that he does not have to deal with the group of Beijing officials who are good at weighing the interests and disadvantages of personnel, and he ends up in the field, but in fact, the burden on his shoulders is extremely heavy.

Moreover, the father did not attach importance to this son outside the Yuanmu Palace, but had already entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

In such a comparison, I have lived over the years. It's really a flower in a greenhouse. Thinking of this, Wang Hong's face showed a hint of shame again.

Wang Qing on the side didn't think so much, but was amused by her father's words, covered her lips and smiled: "Father, look at what you said." The image of Zhedi is about to become like a monkey. ”

The emperor was pleased to see his daughter's smile, and sneered: "Isn't the third child just like a monkey when he was a child, jumping even more happily" Out of the corner ......of his eye, he saw Wang Hong's solemn face, and the emperor gradually smiled, and said slowly: "I have arranged a place for you in Taixue, and you will officially enroll in school one day." At that time, most of the day was spent with the children of other nobles. But every day, a separate time period will be selected and taught by Xia Chunji alone. Learn slowly, the foundation must be solid, and Xia Chunji is not the only university scholar I have left to you. ”

Wang Hong heard this, although he did not speak. But the tail of his eyebrows couldn't help but stir a few times.

"These teachers will not gather together in Taixue to teach, and I will slowly talk to you in detail in the future." Extinguishing the topic, the emperor took one of Wang Hong's hands and spread it out in his palm. It was the hand that was injured half a month ago, and now the outer creation has been roughly retracted. Gently uncovering the loose embroidery sleeve on his hand to block the wind, and carefully looking at the pale red scar on his palm, the emperor sighed lightly, his tone suddenly softened, and said slowly: "As a father, I can only look at it, and I don't know anything about medical science at all, but I can rest assured that this mouth is finally good."

Wang Qing, who was sitting on the other side, added in time: "The imperial doctor has told you that the wound on the emperor's hand is extremely deep, and although the outer breach has been closed, it will take at least three months for the inside to be closed." During this time, the hand can not be pressed and make it vigorous. ”

"Hong'er's advice, Hong'er, you actually know it in your heart, but your habit of patience and silence is really worrying. What your sister just said, I should remind you again. The emperor gently put the embroidery sleeve he had just taken off back on Wang Hong's injured hand, and then said: "If you go to Taixue, you can naturally get rid of the noise of those slaves and maids in your bedroom, but at the same time, there are also a large number of people who can serve at any time." Now that your physical condition is much better than before, I have allowed you to go to Taixue and exchange knowledge with your classmates, which is indeed very beneficial, but you still need to be conscious of yourself at all times, and if you feel unwell, do not delay, and immediately ask for leave to come back and rest. ”

Wang Hong's heart was warm, and he bowed his head and said, "The sons obey the edict."

Mother is not there, this father is really strict with his father and takes care of his mother's kindness.

After talking about everything, he stroked his son's hand through the soft bag, and the emperor's body moved slightly, and he got up and prepared to leave. Wang Qing and Wang Hong followed closely behind and got up to see each other off.

The father and son walked to the door, and the corner of Wang Hong's eyes swept to the emperor's hand hanging by his side, his heart moved slightly, and he said again: "Father, you ...... Why don't you see that jade Jiao wrench?"

The jade Jiao wrench is the wide jade wrench that the emperor has always worn on his thumb. This wrench is carved from a piece of jade, the whole body is snow-white, because the surface has a naturally formed Jiangjiao-like pattern and gets its name.

The loss of jade wrenches is extremely high, and the quality requirements for jade are also high. Take ten pieces of jade to carve, and in the hands of craftsmen with slightly less skilled, at least four pieces must be broken. Therefore, the jade wrench finger is extremely precious, and it is not purchased by non-wealthy households, but only this kind of noble people who do not need to work are willing to take the jade on the thumb that is very easy to fall off.

When the emperor was still a general in the northern frontier, this wrench was a token of love given to the emperor by the biological mother of the second prince Wang Hong, and it was originally stored in the box. Later, the emperor removed his armor to defend the crown, and this wrench really played its decorative role, and was worn on the thumb by the emperor all the time, walking with people, and being like the old people's constant companions, quite cherished.

It's just that the wrench was shattered in the assassination a few days ago.

I don't have this piece of jade in my hand. The emperor's walking posture also changed slightly. In the past, because he cherished the brittle jade on his fingers, no matter how hard he walked, his hand was slightly tucked around his waist, and he carried a trace of literati temperament while being powerful. Right now. He hung his hands at his side, grabbed the corner of the sleeves of his wide robe, and held his thick and powerful palms slightly, as if he had not relaxed for a moment, as if he had returned to the previous state of being in northern Xinjiang, with iron armor on his body, heavy knives in his hands, and attacking at any time.

It's no wonder that Wang Hong, who was walking behind him, saw this subtle abnormality.

"The jade is broken." The Emperor raised his hand and spread his five fingers, looked at it quietly for a while, and then calmly said to the prince, "If it weren't for this piece of jade, my thumb might have been cut off." ”

The second prince, Wang Hong's eyes moved slightly. Although he was suddenly reluctant in his heart, he was even more shocked by what happened to his father on that day. Looking at the base of the thumb of his father's hand, there were several freshly raised scars with light red on the skin, and Wang Hong said seriously: "Ancient articles record that jade can perceive human spirits. Critical Moments...... This jade may have carried the wishes of the mother, and finally got what she wanted. ”

A thoughtful look appeared in the emperor's eyes, and after a while, he returned to normal, he lowered his hand, looked at Wang Hong and said, "Today's dinner, don't be in Huayang Palace, come to the 'Imperial Dining Courtyard' with me." I know that you will be taught in Taixue. Concubine De also has something to tell you, she is subtle and can pick up some things that I have neglected. If you have any objections to her discipline, I am here to help you consider it. The matter of entering Taixue is of far-reaching significance. It doesn't seem like caring about your bedroom servant. In this matter, it is up to me to decide. ”

Although it was obvious that today's dinner party could not be too easy, in the face of his father's invitation, the second prince Wang Hong categorically would not show the slightest refusal.

"Qing'er is here too." The Emperor looked sideways at Wang Qing. He commanded again, "Don't always stay in the dormitory and eat dried apricots, you are obviously much stronger than your brother's body, but you can't always get fat." Come to the 'Imperial Dining Courtyard', get together as a family, and take a closer look at how you eat. ”

Wang Qing was slightly shocked when she heard this, but she didn't dare to say anything, so she hurriedly squatted down to answer the edict.

The Emperor said no more, waved his sleeves, and turned to leave.

The sister and brother behind Lingyi stopped in front of the palace to bid farewell to their father.

It wasn't until the emperor walked out more than a dozen steps away that he saw a group of guards pouring out from the left and right sides of the neat and empty vestibule. The six guards soon gathered behind the emperor, formed a double column, and left with him.

Immediately afterwards, the new slaves and maids selected by the concubines who had been ordered by the emperor to withdraw from the courtyard also poured back into the courtyard one after another.

Before these slaves and maids could open their mouths, the second prince Wang Hong's face sank, and he said coldly: "Leave one person behind, and the others will get out!"

Although these slaves and maids were all trained by Concubine De, they were more familiar with the rules of the palace than anyone else. But I have a lot of contact with Concubine De, even if I am punished as a slave, I am still somewhat influenced by Concubine De's habits, and they are all slaves who are used to guessing people's hearts very deeply, which is not good.

Because of this, they didn't know what the emperor talked about with the prince in Huayang Palace just now, or what he punished, so they couldn't stop speculating, and they were worried about the prince's current mood, and wondered if they would be accidentally angered. Although the prince's angry "roll" was not loud, it was able to become extremely deterrent in this human heart.

Although these slaves and maids had only been sent to Huayang Palace for less than half a month, they had carefully observed the temper of the prince and made an impression. The second prince seemed to hate them very much, but he had never suddenly exploded into anger like today.

At this time, it seems that whoever stays will be punished, and will be punished with wrath.

The prince did not name anyone to stay, and when the slaves came to their senses, they found that all the slaves had all taken a step back. The sincerity was evident, and all the slaves had trepidation on their faces.

Only one man stood still.

His Royal Highness the prince didn't look at this person at all, repelled the slaves, and the next moment turned around and went back to the palace.

The group of palace slaves scattered in the vestibule of Huayang Palace stood in place for a long time, neither retreating out of the courtyard, nor following the prince into the inner hall to serve. The affection on the prince's face just now, they haven't forgotten it, including the sudden cooling of his eyes, which still has a terrifying aftermath to the slaves. The slaves did not dare to retreat or enter, but stood on the ground and looked at each other.

Only the blue silk eunuch who stood still just now followed the prince back to the inner hall with his steady steps.

After entering the inner hall and sitting back at the table, the cold and hard face of the second prince Wang Hong slowed down slightly, and he looked at the silk-clothed eunuch who came in. He commanded, "Aja, this palace is thirsty."

Jia Zhong, the eunuch in charge of the internal affairs of Huayang Palace, bowed down slightly when he heard this, and asked respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, you still have a cup of rock sugar mulberry juice as usual." A glass of pear syrup?"

The second prince nodded and said, "You still know this best."

Princess Wang Qing licked her lips lightly, but the yearning look in her eyes gradually converged, raised her hand to stop Jia Zhong, who was about to turn around and go to the water room, and said gently: "Don't drink this sweet fruit tea today, just send two cups of boiled water."

Jia Zhong bowed and did not ask the second prince about his wishes again, then turned around and went to the water room.

In the past, in Huayang Palace, whenever the princess was present, the food and drink taken by the second prince would be taken care of by the princess. Whenever this happens, the second prince will not rebel against the princess's intentions. Of course, there will be some reasons here, but if the two highnesses don't say it, as slaves, they shouldn't ask more. Jia Zhong, who has been on an errand in Huayang Palace for several years, can still grasp this experience very accurately.

But at this time, if Concubine De or other noble concubines in the palace are present, they don't know what to do. I'm afraid that Jia Zhong will be guilty of neglecting his master.

After Jia Zhong left, the second prince Wang Hong looked sideways at the princess Wang Qing.

Wang Qing stretched out a finger and knocked on the table, putting on a posture of the eldest sister teaching the younger brother, and said solemnly: "You forgot, pear juice is cold, we will go to the 'Imperial Dining Courtyard' later, let's be more restrained!"

Wang Hong will come over. hurriedly bowed his head and said: "What Sister said is extremely true, it is my brother's carelessness."

Wang Qing curled her lips and smiled: "What my father really said is very true, you really need a princess to take care of it carefully."

Wang Hong picked the corners of his mouth, and immediately confronted him with words: "Sister, you are so playful." Do you still want your brother to accompany you to this year's 'Flower Tasting Party'?"

Wang Qing didn't respond, just shifted his gaze and looked at a picture of ink bamboo windward hanging on the opposite wall, a trace of melancholy appeared on his face, and he sighed faintly.

Wang Hong looked at Wang Qing's side face. Suddenly, a thought came to his mind, and he said with a smile: "Sister, you often go out of the palace with Nuo Nuo's little girl, and you pass by so many people outside, you really haven't met an interesting one?"

"What if you encounter it, the door is not the right door, and you will be muddied by the Ministry of Rites." Wang Qing was a little distracted, and this casual sentence was almost equivalent to exposing some kind of information.

A glimmer of brilliance flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, but he was temporarily pressed by him, he just continued to ask in a calm tone: "What are you afraid of if the portal is not right, with the help of my brother and brother Zhe, even if it is built with gold bricks, it can also create a bright portal for him." The key is that you like it. ”

"Hmm......" Wang Qing groaned, suddenly came back to his senses, turned his eyes to look at Wang Hong, and said angrily: "Isn't it begging?" actually took my sister's words! ”

"Hey, even my sister has said a brother's words......" Wang Hong didn't care about Wang Qing's feigned anger at all, the smile on his face became more obvious, and the tone of his voice was also distracted, "...... Is it really out there?"

Wang Qing stood up from the chair with a "poof", and without saying a word, she chased after Wang Hong. Wang Hong was not used to seeing this, so he quickly stood up and fled.

When they were children, the sisters and brothers often chased and played in this spacious palace, and the distance of a table could be chased around for half a day.

Within a few steps, Wang Hong bumped into the corner of the other side of the case, and with a slow step, Wang Qing caught up.

"Stop! My brother conceded defeat. Wang Hong hurriedly raised his hand to make a surrender.

The arrogant expression on Wang Qing's face did not diminish at all, first snorted coldly, and then said in a threatening tone: "If you still want to play me with the matter of the horse, beware that I will introduce you to the lion roaring girl I know outside, and ensure that the voice can linger in Huayang Palace for three days."

"That's horrible." Wang Hong lowered one hand and rubbed his back, with a smile on his face, but his brows frowned-
