Winters in Hankyo are too cold.

The fireflies flew into the air and were extinguished not long after.

When the last fireworm fell and the light and shadow went out, Shen Bai said regretfully: "These fireflies can only survive in a warm place, and now they are all dead." ”

Shen Bai's voice was a little muffled, and Zhao Che couldn't tell whether she felt sorry for the fireflies or her pocket money.

But after a while, she became happy again, and said excitedly: "When the weather is hot, there will be fireflies in Hanjing, which are more beautiful than this, and I can catch a lot of them to see Your Highness." ”

At this moment, she was different from the entire palace and even the entire Hanjing people, fresh and enthusiastic, like a flame crashing straight into Zhao Che's chest.

Zhao Che's chest was hot, his throat tightened, and he felt a strange and strong urge.

He couldn't help but swallow his saliva, felt that the collar was a little tight, and raised his hand to pull it off.

Shen Bai said for a while and saw that he didn't react, and said in a low voice: "I've been out for a long time, and I have to go back." ”

After Shen Bai finished speaking, he was leaving, Zhao Che grabbed her back collar, his head was hot, and the ghost sent a bite on Shen Bai's cheeks.

Shen Bai had never experienced this kind of thing, so he was so frightened that he squeaked and screamed: "Oh, the prince's brother is drunk and is going to eat people, help!" ”

Shen Bai's voice was not small, Zhao Che woke up suddenly, let go of her, and someone from the palace came with lanterns, and Zhao Che restored the prince's coldness with his hands behind his back.

Shen Bai covered his face and ran away, the palace people didn't recognize who Shen Bai was for a while, they caught her and didn't let her go, and asked Zhao Che in surprise: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what happened?" ”

Zhao Che took his hand and said lightly: "This is Shen Bai, the only son of Mrs. Shen, just now the palace drunk and took a bite of the pill that she mistook for a jing, sent her back, and apologized to the master for the palace." ”

Zhao Che's voice was a little hoarse, but his thoughts were very clear, and the palace people did not suspect him, so they hurriedly sent Shen Bai back to the banquet hall.

Waiting for everyone to walk away, Zhao Che exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched into a fist.

The impulse that had just gone out of control made him feel bad.

Because of this stubble, Zhao Che didn't go to Ci'an Palace, and went straight back to Yichen Palace.

When he woke up the next day, thinking of what happened last night, Zhao Che instructed the palace people to send ten taels of silver to the Taifu Mansion every month in the future to make pocket money for the little master of the Taifu family.

After the year, the weather quickly warmed up, and Zhao Che was still as busy as ever, he had to go back to the palace as soon as he finished his schoolwork in Tai Academy every day, and he hardly stopped, so he didn't even notice that Shen Bai was enrolled in Tai Academy.

On this day, he was about to return to the palace as usual, when he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Tai Academy is divided into levels, several princes have their own special schools, and the sons of other important ministers also study in classes according to their position and age, and generally no one will go to their side of the school.

The noise did not stop, Zhao Che was attracted to it, and walked through the corridor to Tianyingban, he found that it was crowded with people, and even Zhao Chou and them were also attracted over.

Seeing him, the others naturally moved out of the way, and Zhao Che could easily see the two people scuffling together.

Zhao Che recognized people very well, and at a glance he could see that the one who was beaten was called Wu Shouxin, the eldest son of Wu Zhongyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it was none other than Shen Bai, who had not seen him for several months.

After a year, Shen Bai grew a little taller, but she was much smaller than the people in the Tianying class, and she was also small, and she didn't know how she got such a big person as Wu Shouxin to the ground.

Not only can she beat people, but she also keeps shouting: "The master won, if you don't kneel down and call grandpa today, the master will definitely beat you all over the ground looking for teeth!" ”

Shen Bai was a little proud, he didn't notice it for a while, he was turned over and pressed by Wu Shouxin, and seeing that he was about to be beaten, Zhao Che said in a deep voice: "Tai Academy is a place to practice the philosophy of sages, what are you doing!" ”

The onlookers shouted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is down, stop fighting!" ”

Wu Shouxin still knew that he was afraid, so he stopped immediately, but Shen Bai was a scoundrel, pushed Wu Shouxin hard, and after pushing the person to the ground, he immediately howled and cried: "It's too bullying, Shangshu and his sister-in-law bully the small, and there is no king's law!" ”

Shen Bai cried and was angry, and he had to roll on the ground.

She didn't have a rule in the fight, and she didn't follow the rules, she used all the scratches and bites, Wu Shouxin's face was blue, and there were tooth marks and bloody scratches, which looked much more embarrassed than Shen Bai, if it wasn't for Wu Shouxin's tall head, it would be more like he was bullied by Shen Bai.

But at this time, Shen Bai cried very loudly, just like a dead mother, and everyone still believed her words.

"No matter what the reason, fighting in Tai Academy is a violation of the rules of the academy, according to the rules, one person will be fined twenty hand boards." Zhao Che said in a deep voice, then looked at Gu Hengzhou, who had been standing quietly outside the crowd, and asked, "Does Xingyuan think that this palace is right?" ”

Gu Hengzhou didn't expect that he would be named, so he immediately arched his hand and said, "What His Highness said is true." ”

Shen Bai suddenly stopped crying, his watery eyes rolled slightly, and asked, "I'm being bullied, do you want to beat me?" ”

Zhao Che didn't answer, and gave Shen Bai a meaningful look.

Shen Bai shrunk his neck, and defended himself with insufficient confidence: "It was he who scolded me first for not growing a dwarf winter melon, and I didn't mess with him, I was only five years old, and I will grow taller in the future, he caused trouble first, why punish me, I don't accept it!" ”

Zhao Che didn't care whether she was convinced or not, and ordered loudly: "Don't you bring the ring ruler yet?" ”

The servant immediately took the ruler.

Zhao Che didn't answer, looked at Gu Hengzhou, Gu Hengzhou understood, took the ring ruler in front of everyone, and walked in front of Wu Shouxin and Shen Bai.

Zhao Che spoke, Wu Shouxin didn't dare to refute, and stretched out his hand in a proper manner, Gu Hengzhou already had the iron-faced selflessness of his youth at this time, and he beat Wu Shouxin with twenty hands.

Shen Bai was terrified when he heard it next to him, when it was his turn, he turned his head and wanted to escape, Gu Hengzhou's martial arts cultivation has always been the first, of course he would not let her succeed, he caught her as soon as he made a move, Shen Bai put his hands behind his back, and said in a panic: "I'm not wrong, I don't admit punishment!" ”

Gu Hengzhou said coldly: "No matter who is right or wrong, you have to admit punishment if you do it in Tai Academy." ”

After speaking, he didn't let Shen Bai stretch out his hand, directly pressed her on his lap, and slapped her twenty boards according to his ass.

Shen Bai had been a false howl before, but now he was really beaten, and tears poured out instantly.

After the twenty boards were played, she didn't make any trouble, just stood next to her and shrugged her little shoulders and shed tears, feeling that there was no good person in the entire Tai Academy, and they were all going to bully her.

But at this point, Zhao Che still refused to give up, stared at her and asked, "Have you accepted it?" ”

Shen Bai wanted to be unconvinced, but when he looked up and saw Zhao Che's cold and unusual eyes, he swallowed his words again.

She had to obey.

Otherwise, you might have to be beaten.

Shen Bai held his breath and nodded, and Zhao Che asked, "Dumb?" ”

Shen Bai clenched his small fists and said loudly: "Serve!" ”

Zhao Che let her go, swept around the people who were watching the show, and asked, "Enough of the excitement?" Don't want to leave and stay and clean? ”

Everyone dispersed in a hurry, Zhao Che also turned around, but did not go back to the palace directly, but the carriage stopped on the street at the corner outside the Tai Academy, a quarter of an hour later, Shen Bai came out of the Tai Academy with a broken face, the scholar followed her closely, when passing by the carriage, the coachman hugged Shen Bai into the carriage, the scholar was startled, and saw that the coachman showed the waist card of the Imperial Forest Army, so there was no big noise.

Shen Bai was thrown into the carriage, and when he saw Zhao Che sitting inside, he immediately tensed his body vigilantly and stared at him, Zhao Che knew that she was a child's temper, glanced at her, and asked, "Stupid, won't call people?" ”

Shen Bai pursed his lips and shouted after a while: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The tone was very unwilling, Zhao Che looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "What did you call before?" ”

She used to be called the prince's brother.

Of course, Shen Bai didn't forget, but he just got hit the board, and he felt embarrassed and wronged, and he didn't want to scream.

She also bought fireflies last time to make him happy, but she didn't expect him to treat herself like this, it was too much. Three-two

Shen Bai didn't realize how noble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's identity was at this time, nor did he realize what imperial power meant, according to his own mind, he said sullenly: "You let people beat me on the board, I am no longer my prince's brother, I will never catch fireflies for you in the future, and I will not share fun things with you." ”

Those things were just playthings for Zhao Che, and they didn't mean much, he didn't really care, but when Shen Bai said such a thing, he was still uncomfortable in his heart, and grabbed Shen Bai's hand.

His strength is now much greater than Shen Bai's, and the dark aura in his bones is pouring out continuously, Shen Bai was frightened, and shouted: "Help, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is going to kill someone!" ”

She cried so much that her throat split, Zhao Che didn't want to pay attention to it, but the curtain was opened, Gu Hengzhou didn't know why she didn't leave, and she happened to hear Shen Bai's shout.

Shen Bai was flashed by the sudden light, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother Gu, save me quickly, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to kill me." ”

She fought with Wu Shouxin most of the time when she came to Tai Academy, Gu Hengzhou didn't care about people, but she also recognized him, and called Brother Gu like everyone else.

Gu Hengzhou glanced at her, then looked at Zhao Che, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, I just heard someone shouting, I thought there was something, disturb His Royal Highness the Prince, sorry." ”

Someone watched, Zhao Che didn't want to do anything to Shen Bai anymore, let go of Shen Bai, recovered his coldness, and said lightly: "It's okay, I'm just looking for her to ask about the situation." ”

Shen Bai was actually not familiar with Gu Hengzhou, but he was not polite to him at this time, so he took the opportunity to climb on his back and said, "My butt hurts, please Brother Gu to send me home." After speaking, he buried his head on Gu Hengzhou's back, and didn't look at Zhao Che.

Zhao Che's eyes narrowed slightly, stared at Shen Bai for a while, and looked away.

Gu Hengzhou subconsciously held Shen Bai and was about to speak, when Zhao Che preemptively said, "It just so happens that the palace has already finished asking, so please take the trouble to send Young Master Shen home." ”

"Yes."

Gu Hengzhou bowed his head and left with Shen Bai on his back.

The curtain was lowered, Zhao Che's hand hanging in his sleeve was clenched into a fist, and it took a long time before he spoke: "Go back to the palace." ”

There was something hidden in his heart, Zhao Zhuo read a book at night until he was ugly, and he got up early the next morning and asked the palace people to prepare medicine for injuries, but when he went to Tai Academy, Shen Bai did not come, and asked for sick leave, I heard that his butt hurt so much that he couldn't get out of bed.

Zhao Che believed that Gu Hengzhou's attack was serious, most of which was exaggerated by Shen Bai, but after finishing his schoolwork, he still took a carriage to Taifu's mansion.

The mansion of Taifu's Mansion was as simple as ever, and the doorman was shocked when he saw him, and hurriedly brought him in.

Before he came back from the deliberations in the palace, Zhao Che went directly to the Shuyun Garden where Shen Bai lived, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he heard someone reading inside: "Zhang Sheng hugged Xiuniang's slender waist, and his eyes were soft ......and white."

Zhao Che stopped, listened to it, and soon heard that this was a book of unpopular words among the people, and it was written about the unbearable bed.

This person is only more than five years old, so he listens to this kind of thing, and he will have it when he grows up?

Zhao Che's face darkened, he strode in, and at a glance he saw Shen Bai lying on the recliner lying on the recliner, eating snacks with Erlang's legs crossed, and a little guy next to him was holding a notebook to read to her.

Neither of them expected Zhao Che to appear suddenly, Shen Bai's reaction was faster, and he immediately jumped up from the recliner and drilled into the house, the little guy took a step slower and was kicked to the ground by Zhao Che.

Zhao Che was not in a hurry to settle accounts with Shen Bai, and said to the subordinate who led the way: "Tie him up to the palace!" After speaking, he picked up the book and carried it in his arms as evidence of the crime.

Shen Bai was smart, and he remembered to lock the door after entering the house, but this door was nothing in front of Zhao Che.

He kicked in the door and found that Shen Bai had gone to bed, covering himself tightly with the quilt, and curled up there like a turtle.

Zhao Che was not in a hurry to let her come out, glanced around, sat down at the table, and drank tea slowly, after a while, Shen Ruxiu came back from the palace, heard that the prince was coming, and hurried over, and saluted as soon as he entered the house: "The old minister greets His Royal Highness the prince." ”

"Too Fu is not polite." Zhao Che got up, helped Shen Ruxiu, and said, "This palace originally came to visit Young Master Shen today, she fought with someone in the Tai Academy yesterday, and this palace punished her with twenty boards according to the laws of the hospital. ”

Zhao Che gave the notebook to Shen Ruxiu.

Shen Ruxiu didn't know about Shen Bai's fight in Tai Academy, and thought that she was sick, and when she heard Zhao Che's words, she was shocked and angry, but she didn't dare to get angry in front of Zhao Che, so she opened the book and glanced at it hurriedly.

There is a lot of content in the book, and I can't see any problems for a while, but there are illustrations in it, and the illustrations are quite vivid, eye-catching, and the green tendons on Shen Ruxiu's forehead burst out.

Zhao Che said: "I listened to this palace and found that the content of this book is not suitable for Young Master Shen's age to read, Mrs. Shen left early, Young Master Shen is young and has no ability to distinguish between right and wrong, Master Shen still has to think more about it in addition to being busy with government affairs, lest she be influenced by some indiscriminate people and embark on a crooked path." ”

Shen Ruxiu suppressed his anger and said, "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the old minister knows. ”

Shen Bai was still hiding in the quilt and didn't come out, Zhao Che glanced at the bed, and Shen Ruxiu immediately said angrily: "Shen Bai, come out for me!" ”

Shen Bai said in the quilt: "I won't come out, you're not my father, you can't beat me!" ”

It has been more than a year since she returned to the Taifu Mansion, and she still said such things, Shen Ruxiu's expression stiffened instantly, and Zhao Che also felt that the words were harsh, and suddenly realized that all this was caused by him and the queen.

If it weren't for the queen raising Shen Bai in the palace for four years, she would not have been so separated from Shen Ruxiu.

Suddenly a little unable to stay, Zhao Che said lightly: "It is normal for a child of this age to be a little stubborn, Taifu taught slowly, it is inconvenient to stay in this palace for a long time, so go first." ”

"The old minister sent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince out."

"No, just let the next person send it, Taifu has just come back from the court, it's hard work, let's rest first."

Thinking about teaching Shen Bai a lesson, Shen Ruxiu didn't force it, and only sent Zhao Che out of Shuyun Garden.

Zhao Che didn't walk fast, and after a while, he heard Shen Baiwa's shouting.

She was very dissatisfied with Shen Ruxiu's control, and it was when Tong Yan was unscrupulous, so she didn't care about anything.

Not to mention Shen Ruxiu, even Zhao Che felt cold.

But the culprit doesn't know anything, and he's still a victim.

was taught a hard lesson by Shen Ruxiu, Shen Bai obediently went to class the next day, but he walked with a limp, and I heard that he was punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for a long time, and the scholars around him were also replaced.

Shen Bai was very depressed, he couldn't keep up his spirits all day, and he was indifferent to Wu Shouxin's provocation.

Zhao Che originally wanted to wait for the end of his schoolwork to see her, but he was blocked by Zhao Chou at the door, since the last time the laxative was discovered, Zhao Chou did not dare to talk to Zhao Che for several months, and stopped in front of Zhao Che at this time, and the momentum around him looked completely different from before, a little gloomy.

Zhao Chou is a little impulsive and brainless, but it doesn't mean that Concubine De is also such a person, these months are enough time for Concubine De to come back to her senses and investigate what is going on.

Zhao Chou was instigated by his side, and the laxatives were also managed by the people of the palace, and the people of the palace did not have the ability to pass through the sky, and it was actually Zhao Che who was operating this matter behind the scenes.

But Zhao Che did it extremely secretively, and after so much time, Zhao Chou could only admit the charge.

Zhao Chou said faintly: "Brother Huang has been a little diligent in going to the Tianying class recently, didn't he go to see that kid from the Shen family?" Anyway, he has also been raised in the palace for four years, and the imperial brother won't really treat him as a younger brother, right? ”

The queen died of illness, Wei Ruzhao was sent to Yunshan Temple, the Wei family declined, and only one Shen Bai was left close to Zhao Che.

However, when the queen was seriously ill, she sent Shen Bai back to the Taifu Mansion, and the two were not related by blood, so they did not attract the attention of others.

At this time, Zhao Chou mentioned it and gave Zhao Che a warning.

He couldn't get too close to Shen Bai.

This is very detrimental to him, Shen Bai, and even the entire Shen family.

Zhao Che looked at Zhao Hou calmly and said, "This palace is going to go to Xingyuan to discuss the problem." ”

Zhao Chou got out of the way and said with a smile: "It turned out that I was looking for Gu Shizi, too, that kid from the Shen family is an unsuccessful gentleman at first glance, how can there be a reliable family like the Gu family, the imperial brother has no support at all now, but he has to firmly hold on to the big tree of the Gu family." ”

There was no one else around, so Zhao Chou dared to speak to Zhao Che like this.

Zhao Che gritted his teeth, laughed after a while, and said: "This palace is not relied on, it is also a prince who sacrificed to the sky, and the name is righteous, even if the Wei family declines, the name of the queen recorded by the historian in the history book is also my mother, and the next time there is a good cloth to pay tribute, it is still necessary for the palace to pick first, what is the fourth brother to be proud of?" ”

Zhao Che's demeanor was leisurely, and Zhao Chou's face suddenly became ugly.
