The white horse passes by, and time flies. In mid-November, in the depths of winter, there was a heavy snowfall in Wenxi City, and it has not stopped yet.

On this day, the city is very lively, and people with rice bags can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

Today is the birthday of Emperor Shun Kang, and it is also the big day of the entire Yuanling. Many dignitaries and nobles sent people to the streets to give rice.

The palace hung up the white jade Fushou lamp, which was carved by the hermit craftsman who was the eldest daughter of the current queen and Cheng Ruoxin, the eldest daughter of the Chengwang Mansion, who went to the ghost market in person.

The birthday banquet is set up in the Qinzheng Palace, the space is very large, and it is enough to play cards. As soon as the sky was bright, the bronze bell of Zhengde Square rang up. Although the banquet is held around the time of the year. But early in the morning, all the magnates were not idle, and they started to prepare.

Wen Xicheng came to the Xiangguo Mansion, the style is extraordinary, and there is a faint trace of majesty in it.

Although it is Prime Minister Mo Fulin who is proud of the spring breeze above the court now, in the final analysis, he was only brought up from Shangshu when the first emperor was there, and his family background is light.

And the Guogong Mansion has been rooted in Wenxi City for hundreds of years. The Guogong Mansion has been filial piety to the royal family for generations, although the battle for royal power continues, but as long as Yuan Ling is still the Yuan family, the Guogong Mansion will always exist.

Just after the hour, Li Chengming hurriedly went to a separate garden in the backyard, Weaving Dream Garden, which was the word that Li Guogong personally mentioned for his granddaughter. Inside lives a beautiful woman named Wenxi, Li Mengyao.

The red plum planted in the garden is half a yard, and in the white and flawless snow, it is even more delicate and moving. The snow turns around and falls on the flowers, and there is a different taste to see.

The snow was very heavy, Li Chengming squinted his eyes, against the wind and snow, and kept making a "creaking" sound under his feet.

"Sir!"

The rosary saw Li Chengming coming from a distance, and hurriedly went up to salute, then opened the curtain and invited Li Chengming in.

This main house is very large, look at the bright hall, in the middle of the place is made into a lotus shaped charcoal stove, inside is burned only in the palace only in the silver hot carbon, very prosperous.

Further inside, a partition door was made, and moon-white pearls were strung in the middle, and I heard that these were all brought back from the East China Sea. And on the shelves on both sides are all kinds of strange treasures.

"Are you really going today? You haven't been out in years. ”

Li Chengming asked through the bead curtain.

Behind the bead curtain, there was a slender figure, leaning obliquely on the splendid pillow, with slender white elbows supporting half of her body, and holding in her hand was "Qiulian Jianghu Lu" written by Ah Lai, she rarely read these books in the past.

"It's because I haven't been out for a long time that I want to go out to have a look, I was sick before, and I haven't been out of the house much, I haven't seen this Wenxi City now."

While speaking, Li Mengyao put down the book, revealing a beautiful face. The face was meticulously carved. A pair of slender and slightly raised willow eyebrows, delicate and elegant, bright eyes seem to have two pools of rippling springs. The nose is small and tall, adding a touch of heroism, the red lips are light, and the rouge is applied, and a little coquettishness is added to the plain whiteness.

Her skin was as white as snow, and the green silk was like a bright black satin, soft and silky. In general, one of them smiled, lowered their eyebrows and raised their eyes, and they were all peerless. One more point is too vulgar, one less point is not amazing enough, The beauty of the world is hard to find.

Just sitting in this way makes people's hearts flood with infinite reverie, and perhaps Yang Guifei in Bai Lao's "Song of Long Hatred" is exactly like this.

When Li Chengming heard this, he sighed distressedly: "Your grandfather is old, and recently his father is going to inherit the country, it is inevitable that he can't take care of you, and when he wants to come to summer, you are very sick, I should take you to see more, now the weather is cold, and it is easy to get a cold." After all, it's the wrong time. ”

When Li Mengyao heard this, he smiled: "Father, what are you talking about, my daughter is useless, but now she is not young, but she still has you to worry about it, you are busy with things, and your daughter can't help, she is already very sad, how can you disturb you, for me, add more trouble." ”

Li Chengming listened to it and felt even more distressed: "Meng'er, the snow is very heavy today, you must wear more when you go out, after going to the palace, there are many noisy people, and your father will inevitably not be able to accompany you, but you have a good relationship with the queen mother in the past, presumably she knows that you are going, and she will definitely be ready." ”

Li Mengyao nodded: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will definitely take care of herself, and she won't let her grandfather and you worry about it." ”

Cheerful days always pass very quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the time of Shen, Yuan Huaisheng and Yuan Zhenxuan, and Yuan Yichen are sitting in the Zhihe Hall drinking tea.

Yuan Huaisheng specially wore a blue lotus-colored Liuying embroidered robe today, the robe was embroidered with a golden auspicious dragon and phoenix tail, and the boots on his feet were also embroidered with golden dragons, and his hair was tied with a jade crown.

Yuan Zhenxuan stared at Yuan Huaisheng with a gloomy face, since he was a child, he never felt that this brother was pleasing to the eye, this is an indescribable feeling, even if the two have little intersection, but this feeling has always been buried in his heart and has never disappeared,

"Lao Jiu! It's been half a month since you came back, and you've been out there for so long, and you haven't brought anything fun to me for Sixth Brother? I've heard that in the martial arts, it's much more fun. ”

When Yuan Huaisheng heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Zhenxuan, who took the initiative to talk, and said with a smile: "Sixth brother is joking, you are the prince, there is nothing in this palace, why should the sixth brother covet those unsightly gadgets." ”

Yuan Zhenxuan squinted his eyes, turned his head and saw that Yuan Yichen was full of energy, and he was even more angry, obviously some time ago, Yuan Yichen was already dying, and the whole person was sluggish, but as soon as this kid came back, he was refreshed.

"Lao Jiu, you are not kind, when you came back, I heard that you were holding an extremely delicate mahogany box, could it be that you secretly brought good things to the fourth brother, but I didn't?"

"The sixth brother's hand is really long enough, and his eyes are also bright and bright, my every move can't escape your control, but the sixth brother can rest assured, I brought some tonic medicine to the emperor, these are all given by my hands, I saw it was good, so I brought it back, but it is not a rare thing, if the sixth brother wants, I will ask for some more for you."

Yuan Huaisheng shook the green jade teacup, stared at Yuan Zhenxuan with a smile, and stared at him in the hair.

"No, I'll just say it casually, since it's not a rare thing, I guess the fourth brother can't look down on it, so I can't look down on it."

Yuan Zhenxuan pursed his lips and said, his angry teeth itched, but Yuan Huaisheng has never lost in quarrels since he was a child, he is always like this, plain and bland, and he can easily poke the key point, making people unable to speak.

"Okay, the two of you are your own brothers, and you are not a small person, and you are still so naïve, I think it is time to find a daughter-in-law and collect your temperament, especially you Zhenxuan, who married so many concubines, is not in accordance with the rules, after the New Year, I will see if there is a suitable woman in the court."

When Yuan Zhenxuan heard this, his eyes lit up: "Fourth brother, I heard that the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion is the eldest daughter of the country, and the daughter of Prime Minister Mo's family is also the proud daughter of the sky, look at the two of them, how about your younger brother?" ”

When Yuan Yichen heard this, he touched his nose weakly, and then glanced at Yuan Huaisheng.

"With you? It's better to go to the embankment river in the imperial garden to catch the old Wang Ba. ”

“……”

Yuan Huaisheng snorted coldly, not caring about Yuan Zhenxuan's face at all.

"Yuan Huaisheng, don't rely on the hanging dragon chapter in your hand, I don't dare to do anything to you! I'm your royal brother, how can you talk like that! ”

Yuan Huaisheng raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Because you are my imperial brother, I have left room for you, don't you have to say bluntly that you are not as good as Wang Ba?" ”

Yuan Zhenxuan was enraged, slapped the table, stood up, pointed at Yuan Huaisheng, and was about to scold.

"Okay, Zhenxuan, sit down, wait for the grievances of the two of you, I still have something to talk about here."

When the two heard this, they stopped, and Yuan Huaisheng saw that Yuan Yichen had a little more worry in his eyes, and asked, "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”

Yuan Zhenxuan was also curious.

Seeing this, Yuan Yichen picked up a splendid prayer note from the teacup and handed it to Yuan Huaisheng.

Yuan Huaisheng took it and looked at it, and frowned instantly.

When Yuan Zhenxuan saw this, his heart was itching, but he still cared about face and didn't want to go over to see it.

"Zhaoyuan Kingdom is coming! Why did they come to Yuanling? ”

Yuan Yichen also looked puzzled: "Zhaoyuan Country is still some distance from Yuan Ling, and we have nothing to do with them over the years, and now that the New Year is approaching, how can they send someone over." ”

Yuan Zhenxuan touched his nose and said disdainfully: "What's there to doubt about this, it's just a small country, isn't it just to appease Yuan Ling and bring them assistance." It's all too common. ”

Compared with Yuan Zhenxuan's ease, Yuan Huaisheng always felt that it was not simple, at this juncture, he came to Yuan Ling thousands of miles away, and it was always a little difficult to say.

"Who's coming?"

Yuan Huaisheng asked out loud, and Yuan Yichen sighed: "Jiedu makes Song Wen chase." ”

Yuan Huaisheng narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and for a while, no one in the hall spoke, and the atmosphere was gloomy for a while.

Yuan Zhenxuan frowned, leaned back, looked at the post with contempt, and said, "Isn't it just a festival envoy, an official with a big sesame seed, what is there to be afraid of?" This Zhaoyuan Kingdom also looks down on people too much, so he actually sent such a person over. ”

"He is not a petty official with a big sesame seed, and the value of his existence has long been beyond the vulgar official position. It is not so much that he is an idle person, but that he is the staff of the lord of Zhaoyuan Country, Wen Taowu is a proud man, but he didn't expect Zhaoyuan Country to be willing to send him over. ”

Yuan Zhenxuan was stunned when he heard this, he rarely met the two with serious expressions, especially Yuan Huaisheng, the face in his memory was always cold and annoying.
