Jiang Anyi accompanied the prince Shen Shi into the city, and the report of the secret guard was sent to Yanshan Villa.

After recuperating in Yanshan Villa for more than a month, Shi Fangzhen's face was ruddy and energetic. At the beginning of the unitary period, I came to the shore of Luoshui Lake to fish, in the sunset, Shi Fang was really a little happy, no wonder the emperor liked to come to Yanshan Garden to play, this lake and mountains are picturesque, compared to the high walls of the imperial city and the deep house is much more comfortable, that is, the blue sky above the head is also much more open.

Liu Weiguo took the black box sent by the little eunuch, took out the recital inside, came to Shi Fangzhen's side, and began to recite today's major events in Beijing.

“…… At three o'clock in the morning, the prince personally went to the long bridge to greet Jiang Anyi, Xiong Zhiren's father and son and a number of members of the East Palace followed, and Jiang Anyi accompanied Li Donghong, Li Laidong and 22 servants. The prince entered the city at the Mingde Gate, the spectators along the way were blocked, the prince dismounted several times to comfort the people, and the people cheered and jumped over the mountain to shout long live...... Jiang Anyi followed the prince into the East Palace, and the prince held a banquet to entertain ......"

This report from Huang Xi's hand is extremely detailed, and even the matter of Li Donghong offending the grandson of the king of Ningling County and being driven out of the capital is also brought with it. Shi Fangzhen listened expressionlessly, and the dragonfly felt the vibration and spread its wings and fly. After Liu Weiguo finished reading, Shi Fangzhen said lightly: "Wei'er is older, and he knows that Corporal Lixian has won people's hearts." The emperors are older, and I am old, so it is time for them to do more to share my worries, so that I can rest more. ”

After serving Shi Fangzhen for more than forty years, Liu Weiguo didn't need to look at Shi Fangzhen's expression, he could tell that the words of the Son of Heaven were filled with four points of vigilance, three points of emotion, two points of helplessness, and one point of relief, and immediately smiled: "Long live Lord is in the prime of life, and the old slave still wants to serve you to conquer the Northern Desert again, although the old slave is a useless person, but it feels glorious to serve an emperor like you through the ages." The princes and princes are capable because you are well trained, but the old slave has the courage to say a lot of words, the princes and princes are still immature, and we have to rely on you to steer the ship of Zheng Guo. ”

Shi Fangzhen lost the fishing rod, and the palace maid on one side hurriedly held a handkerchief, and Shi Fangzhen wiped his hands and said: "Spread the decree, let Jiang Anyi enter the Hajj at the beginning of tomorrow." ”

Eighteen manors in Yanshan Villa, five were sold by Yu Zhijie, the Son of Heaven went to Yanshan Villa to recuperate, those Zhuangzi naturally could not live in people, the five families were rich and powerful in Beijing, and the joint concert of the opportunity to give up the manor to the palace for the time being.

From Luoshui Lake to the manor, there is a long corridor to connect, countless corridors, pavilions meandering in the mountains, like a jade belt across the waist, Shi Fangzhen always has to linger to watch the scenery on weekdays, several times directly in the pavilion, intoxicated by the breeze and the bright moon. Liu Weiguo followed Shi Fangzhen and hurriedly walked to the Qilongju on the mountainside, where Shi Fangzhen and the queen temporarily lived in the palace, which was originally the palace where Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan lived, and was the largest and most beautifully decorated among the eighteen manors.

Chengfeng Pavilion is bathed in the afterglow of the sunset, the colorful glow reflects the red sky, reflected in the Luoshui, like two flags fluttering. Shi Fang's true mood is obviously not good, and the Chengfeng Pavilion that must stay in the past also passed directly, Liu Weiguo sighed in his heart, the prince's practice of welcoming Jiang Anyi in person made the Son of Heaven unhappy, and Jiang Anyi's pilgrimage tomorrow may not be easy to pass.

Coming out of the East Palace, it was already dark, and the red lights stained the streets in a blur, and Jiang Anyi's expression was there

In a trance, the enthusiasm of the prince Shi Chongwei moved him and gave rise to panic, and it was not his blessing for the prince to act like this.

Dizzy and back to the residence of Taipingfang, Shi and Zhen'er greeted him, and as soon as his buttocks sat down, Shi told Jiang Anyi a piece of news, just now a father-in-law sent him a decree to go to Yanshan Palace tomorrow to see him. The city gate is open at all times, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to go from the capital to the other garden, but the Son of Heaven is stationed in Yanshan, and there must be sixteen guards along the way.

Zhen'er saw that Jiang Anyi's spirit was not good, and at the same time heard the news that the prince came to the Long Bridge to greet her, and followed her father to wander around the world since she was a child, Zhen'er knew that at this moment Uncle Jiang had to think about how to deal with the Son of Heaven tomorrow. Pulling her husband, who was talking endlessly, Zhen'er said, "Uncle, the two Mr. Li are placed in the courtyard next to them, so you might as well ask them to discuss anything together." ”

Jiang Anyi shook his head and said: "Running all the way, everyone is tired, I also want to rest early, I have to see the driver tomorrow morning, if I don't wake up, it will be a loss of honor in front of the king." ”

His thoughts were chaotic, Jiang Anyi did not force his mind, but walked in the courtyard with his hands behind his back, looking up and seeing the sky full of stars, the starry sky shining mysteriously, the Son of Heaven hurriedly summoned Jiang Anyi to feel a little uneasy, it was undoubtedly the prince's move to the Long Bridge to greet him in person brought trouble to himself.

Xuanwu Marquis Mansion, back garden pavilion.

The old marquis Huang Yongsheng and his eldest son Huang Jiye sat opposite each other and tasted tea. Forty-six years old, dressed in household clothes, he diligently shook a fan for his father. Waiting for Huang Yongsheng to reach out for the tea cup, Huang Jiye put the pu fan on the stone table and said with a smile: "Father, today the prince went to the Long Bridge to welcome Jiang Anyi into Beijing, do you know?" ”

"My father is not deaf yet, and most of the capital probably even knows about the people who sell cooking cakes, how can I not know." Huang Yongsheng took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Huang Jiye showed a hint of sneer: "The prince is too anxious and wants to tie Jiang Anyi to the car, but he didn't think about what the Son of Heaven would think, I'm afraid it will backfire to do so." ”

Huang Yongsheng said coldly: "I'm afraid I can't think of this trick with the habits of the prince, I guess it was Xiong Zhiren's idea, I have read more books and read more roundabouts, how can I act according to what is said in the book." I heard that the Son of Heaven has decreed that Jiang Anyi will be seen tomorrow, and I guess I am going to beat him. ”

"The Son of Heaven attaches great importance to Jiang Anyi, and there are rumors in Beijing that the Son of Heaven has allowed him to be a national soldier. If you want to say that this matter is really not to blame Jiang Anyi, if the Son of Heaven wants to beat it, he will also choose the prince, will he beat Jiang Anyi and scold the dog? Huang Jiye said with a light smile.

"Long live the Lord in Yanshan for more than a month, the grass on the wall in the court began to shake, how can I not know, although it is a father and son, the throne is not about family affection, long live just take advantage of this matter The real dragon spoke, knocking on those who are anxious to follow the dragon, the prince is just a prince, don't misunderstand the situation." Huang Yongsheng sneered and continued: "Nationalist? How can a national soldier be so good, if you don't vomit a few mouthfuls of blood and lose a few pounds of meat. ”

Huang Jiye picked up the pu fan and continued to shake it lightly, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Tomorrow, Yanshan Pavilion is going to perform a good show, I don't know how this Jiang champion will pass the test?" ”

The Sincerity Hou Mansion is located in Yongxingfang, which is the five-entry mansion given by the Son of Heaven, which is very close to the East Palace, and is convenient to enter and exit.

The Xiong family Ding No

Wang, Xiong Zhiren's parents have been deceased, and he and his wife only have a son and a daughter, as well as more than a dozen servants. Xiong is born and romantic, marries a wife and takes a concubine, and the courtyard is occupied by two of the five courtyards, and recently three women from Linhua County have been accepted, each with two or three maid rings, playing the piano and flute every day, making this deserted house a bit like a place of fireworks. Xiong Zhiren originally restrained his son to be less involved in flowers and grass, but later his wife said that the Xiong family was not prosperous, and it would be good to have more grandchildren to inherit the family, so Xiong Zhiren acquiesced to Xiong Yi'an's romance.

The sound of silk and bamboo faintly spread to Sanjin's study, Xiong Zhiren frowned slightly, and said: "Yi'an, you should take it away, you have great ambitions, if you blindly indulge in wine, let others see you, I am afraid that the prince will not dare to use you when he ascends the throne in the future." ”

In the face of his father's accusations, Xiong Yi'an had no choice but to make a promise, but he thought in his heart that the real celebrity was self-effaced, and his father was as incomprehensible as Jiang Anyi. I heard my father say again: "You said that the girl Zhuxi is as beautiful as a fairy, and she is all good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Jiang Anyi is still not there, it can be seen that you can't be discouraged if you want to make a career, and you will not be prevented from taking concubines for your father for the continuation of the bloodline, but you must also stop in moderation. ”

"What the father said is that the child wrote it down." Xiong responded with peace. Miss Zhuxi is really addictive, Yan'er, Mei'er and others are inferior to her, if she can be included in the house, this life is enough, but if Zhuxi is separated from herself, seeing that it is the September Oiran Meeting, she must find some way to help Zhuxi win the championship, and she will be able to move the beauty and get what she wants.

"Today, the suburbs of the prince welcome Jiang Anyi, the capital is shaken, the name of the prince Lixian corporal is known to the people, I believe that many people will come to take refuge in the near future. Yi'an, you go to the East Palace more often, make some talented people, and create some prestige for yourself. ”

Xiong Yi'an said: "Father, there is a lot of momentum today, but the child is worried that it will backfire. The prince sent someone to deliver a letter, long live the decree for Jiang Anyi to meet him tomorrow, I am afraid that this suburban welcome will cause trouble. Father, if you say that you moved the prince to welcome him, wouldn't you put Jiang Anyi in danger. ”

Xiong Zhiren said meaningfully: "Don't you know that this will do more harm than good, but it is still worth trying to endure the pain for a while and gain long-term benefits." ”

"Oh, please make it clear to my father." Xiong Yi'an knew that his father was not the kind of mediocre who died reading the scriptures, and he must have the intention behind saying this.

"My father read Jiang Anyi's diary to the prince, and everyone at the time said that Jiang Anyi was a word immortal, but he didn't know that his essays were also written very well, and he deserved to be the champion." Xiong Zhiren replied: "Although the letter he wrote to the prince is about daily life, it is full of leisure and elegance, and the small things in life, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all reveal his elegance, and the most rare thing is that a heart of loyalty and love for the people comes from the heart, which is convincing. Ian, if you have time to borrow those diaries from the prince, you will definitely gain something. ”

After sighing, Xiong Zhiren continued: "I tested Jiang Anyi's mind last time, and he said that the prince is born after the prince, and there is nothing wrong with this, but the king of Chu'an is aggressive, and the prince needs the help of a powerful person. I deliberately forced Jiang Anyi to a desperate position, so that he would no longer have the slightest way out, although the Son of Heaven would be dissatisfied with him, but even if there are changes in the future, Jiang Anyi can only follow the prince closely. ”

Xiong Yi'an was impressed.
