Shen Bai hurt his foot and cried again, and soon fell asleep tired.

The Praetorian Guards were still waiting at the foot of the mountain, and Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou simply had some food, and then carried Shen Bai down the mountain on their backs.

Shen Bai was young, but the weight was not light, and Zhao Che and Gu Hengzhou took turns to carry her down.

The group rode back, Zhao Che did not send Shen Bai back to Taifu Mansion, but directly took people back to the palace, and only sent a Praetorian Guard to Taifu Mansion and Dali Temple to report safety.

Zhao Che first went to Emperor Hengde to return to him, and told Emperor Hengde the original plan of a series of plans planned by Shen Bai to run away from home.

Emperor Hengde was very surprised, if he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he would never have imagined that a five-year-old child like Shen Bai could plan such a perfect plan.

If Gu Hengzhou had found the letter in the bamboo tube a little later, she might have taken the money and left Hanjing.

Zhao Che intended to let Shen Bai embark on a career in office, and said to Emperor Hengde: "Shen Bai is still young and already has such a mind, and Erchen believes that in time, she will definitely be able to become a great weapon." ”

Emperor Hengde nodded, although Shen Bai ran silently and cost Dali Temple and Jing Zhaoyin a lot of manpower, but this kind of mind is indeed rare, if it can be used, it is quite beneficial to Zhaoling.

However, Emperor Hengde also had concerns, and said hesitantly: "She will not obey discipline now, and she is afraid that her temperament will be even more unruly in the future." ”

Zhao Che said: "That's right, Erchen wants to ask his father to cooperate with Erchen to play a play. ”

……

Emperor Hengde summoned Shen Bai to the imperial study to meet him, Shen Bai did not dare to make a mistake in front of him, knelt down in a proper manner, and explained the fact that he ran away from home.

Emperor Hengde's expression was serious, saying that because she alarmed the people of Dali Temple and caused panic to the people in the city, Shen Bai must be severely punished, so as not to cause even greater disasters in the future.

Shen Bai tried to argue for himself, but Emperor Hengde didn't listen, at this time Zhao Che stood up and interceded for Shen Bai, and Emperor Hengde made concessions, asking Shen Bai to get the top three in the Tai Academy test in the second half of the year, and if not, he would severely punish Shen Bai.

Shen Bai was frightened and obediently accepted the punishment.

Zhao Che led the person back to Yichen Palace, Shen Bai drooped his head, didn't speak, Zhao Che didn't say anything, asked Xiaobei to send hot water to soak her feet, and changed the medicine again to let her sleep.

Early the next morning, Shen Bai was sent back to Taifu's Mansion, and Zhao Che asked people to send a lot of good things, and almost all the furnishings in Shuyun Garden were changed.

He actually wanted Shen Ruxiu to change to a bigger house, but Shen Ruxiu refused, Shen Ruxiu knew that he was not ordinary to Shen Bai, but Shen Bai was a member of the Shen family in the end, and he always had to obey the Shen family.

Shen Ruxiu did not confiscate the five hundred taels of silver that Shen Bai earned from doing Zhuang this time, and let her keep it by herself, but she was a little more vigilant, and made a special trip to invite a martial artist from the Jingzhong Martial Arts Hall to be a nurse and watch Shen Bai, so as not to make any more trouble.

Shen Bai is famous for running away from home in Beijing this time, everyone knows that there is a bold little master in Taifu Mansion, although she is young, she is talented and intelligent, and she can make money and calculate, but this mind is unwilling to be used on the right path, and I am afraid that she will become a little overlord of the scourge in the future.

Shen Bai's affair added interest to this summer, and the days passed day by day, and soon it was autumn.

Tai Academy opened, and the teenagers got together again.

Shen Bai still has to fight with people from time to time, but she no longer sleeps on her stomach blatantly in class, and she will hold her head and listen carefully to the class.

She has been enrolled for less than a year, and it stands to reason that she can't keep up with Gu Hengzhou's schoolwork, and Emperor Hengde still wants her to enter the top three, which is really difficult for a strong person.

At a young age, he was under pressure that he shouldn't bear, and Shen Bai was rarely worried.

In the first Wenxiu quiz, Shen Bai won the twelfth place in the Tianying class, and the masters were shocked, praising Shen Bai as a genius, but Shen Bai was very sad.

Twelve was too far from the top three, and she simply couldn't reach it.

Zhao Che didn't know Shen Bai's sadness, he read Shen Bai's answer sheet, her words were still very ugly, but the answer idea was very clear, she was not wrong with all the questions she recited, and in another two years, it would be absolutely no problem for Wen Xiu to be the top in the Tai Academy.

Zhao Che thought it was very good, and asked people to secretly get money for Taifu's mansion, and the pocket money for Shen Bai rose to fifteen taels every month.

Shen Bai is actually not bad for money, since he was beaten by Zhao Che last time, the Sun family did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with Shen Bai, but Zhao Che still subconsciously wanted to give Shen Bai money to spend.

When it was almost time to take the test at the end of autumn, Shen Bai looked for Zhao Che once, she had worked hard, but she still couldn't reach the top three level, she was afraid of being punished by Emperor Hengde, and wanted Zhao Che to help her deal with it.

The timing of her search was not good, Zhao Chou was left by the master to recite the text that day, afraid that she would be seen by Zhao Chou, Zhao Che rejected her very coldly, and asked her to work her own and not to cheat.

Zhao Che thought that Shen Bai would come to find him, but he didn't expect that not only did she not come, but she also avoided him in anger.

The day before the test, Shen Bai was caught by his master for stealing questions, not to mention entering the top three, even the qualification for the test was cancelled, and he was also punished for cleaning the courtyard for half a month, which became a joke for the entire Tai Academy.

This kind of thing can't be hidden, and soon, everyone in Hanjing knows that Mrs. Shen, who has been upright all his life, has a son who is gag and goes to the wrong way of evil under his knees.

Fortunately, Shen Bai was thick-skinned and had a fight with Wu Shouxin, so he didn't care what these people said.

After the holiday of Tai Academy, Zhao Che was busier than when he was in class, Concubine De did not give up, she still wanted to be the queen, and the queen mother always made small moves behind her back, he not only had to look at the art of war and statecraft in a day, but also had to fight wits and courage with these two women.

But when she is free, Zhao Che will also think of Shen Bai, and I don't know what kind of trouble she will make when she is alone at home.

The day before the winter solstice, Zhao Chou's birthday, Concubine De invited the teenagers and ladies of the Tai Academy into the palace to eat and have a lively time, Zhao Che could have made an excuse to excuse himself, but thinking that Shen Bai might enter the palace to join in the fun, he casually picked a thing to make a congratulatory gift.

Concubine De was surprised and delighted, she was quite enthusiastic about Zhao Che, and she didn't know that she thought that today was Zhao Che's birthday.

Zhao Che was doing superficial work, and when the banquet was held, he was a little disappointed that Shen Bai was not coming, and he left without taking two bites, without giving Concubine De and Zhao Chou face at all.

After the winter solstice is the Laba Festival, Emperor Hengde set up a banquet, invited officials above the fifth rank into the palace to celebrate the festival together, after all, the New Year is about to be celebrated, and when the Chinese New Year's Eve comes, there are many people and things to do, so reward it in advance, so as not to make people unhappy from time to time.

Zhao Che, as the crown prince, naturally had to attend, and all the officials knew that this was an opportunity to bring their own children, but Shen Ruxiu came by himself, and Shen Bai did not enter the palace.

Zhao Che didn't say a few words throughout the banquet, he was wondering what kind of demon Shen Bai was doing at home.

Seeing the Winter Laurel Festival, Shen Bai was young and was not invited, but Zhao Che asked the palace people to inform Shen Bai to participate.

The palace people replied that Shen Bai was sick and couldn't go out.

Zhao Che couldn't help it, so he left the palace under the pretext of going to see his grandfather, and took a detour to the Taifu Mansion.

There had just been a snowfall, there was a white patch everywhere, there were two ugly snowmen piled up in Shuyun Garden, when Zhao Che entered the house, Shen Bai was eating roasted sweet potatoes around the stove, the sweet potatoes were baked a little burnt, her hands and face were covered with black ash, like a little flower cat, and she almost choked when she saw him enter the door.

Zhao Che poured her a cup of tea and took away half of the roasted sweet potato in her hand.

Shen Bai drank the water and swallowed the contents of his mouth, and asked nervously, "Your Highness, why are you here?" ”

The room was warm, she didn't wear a jacket, she was wearing a jujube red embroidered koi brocade coat, and her face was rounder, like a white dough, which made people want to pinch it twice.

Zhao Che thought so and did the same, raised his hand and pinched Shen Bai's face, and said, "Dirty." ”

Shen Bai subconsciously wiped her face with her hands, her hands were also black, how could she wipe them clean?

Zhao Che slapped her hand away and took out a handkerchief to help her wipe her face.

Shen Bai obediently tilted his head and didn't move, and when he finished wiping his face, he asked, "Are you here to escort me to Dali Temple today?" ”

"What are you going to Dali Temple for?" Zhao Che asked rhetorically, smelling the sweet taste of roasted sweet potatoes on the tip of his nose, he couldn't help but take a bite, the taste was not bad, Shen Bai didn't care about eating at this time, and asked: "I didn't get into the top three, and I cheated and stole questions, isn't Your Majesty angry?" ”

If you steal a question, you can enter Dali Temple, so aren't the people in Dali Temple going to be busy to death?

Zhao Che slandered, took another bite of roasted sweet potatoes, and said, "If you are put into Dali Temple, will you be able to get into the top three?" ”

Shen Bai immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said matter-of-factly: "The cell in Dali Temple is cold and smelly, cockroaches and rats are all over the ground, I will definitely not be able to eat and sleep well when I go there, and I will go crazy in less than three days, how can I be admitted to the top three?" ”

Zhao Che nodded and said, "I pleaded with my father, as long as you participate in the imperial examination before the age of sixteen and gain fame, I will not pursue you again." ”

"Really?" Shen Bai's eyes lit up, God knows how frightened she was during this time. 5599

Zhao Che tasted it and didn't want to eat it anymore, put down the sweet potato, wiped his hands slowly, and then asked Shen Bai: "You haven't entered the palace recently, are you afraid of this?" ”

Shen Bai touched the tip of his nose uncomfortably, and said with a sneer: "I'm just a little person, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, I don't go to hang in front of Your Majesty's eyes, Your Majesty probably won't think about it, isn't this wandering no different from sending him to death?" ”

"So scared that you don't know to come to me?" Zhao Che asked rhetorically, and Shen Bai puffed out his cheeks and stopped talking.

Where did she not find him? But he was so iron-faced and selfless at that time, could she still rely on him with a dead face?

Zhao Che also knew what Shen Bai was thinking, and lowered his voice and said, "There are some words, you have to know how to distinguish the occasion." ”

Shen Bai didn't understand much of this now, nodded vaguely, and then asked: "Then this Winter Laurel Festival, it's okay for me to join in the fun, right?" ”

Zhao Che nodded, and Shen Bai suddenly regained his vitality and jumped up.

These days have suffocated her, and she hasn't made up a lot of excitement.

Zhao Che briefly explained some precautions to her and returned to the palace.

On the day of the Winter Festival, it began to snow again in the morning.

This is Zhao Che's first Winter Laurel Festival after becoming the crown prince, he doesn't have to compete, but he has to be responsible for taking care of the overall situation, Emperor Hengde only shows up, and he will be responsible for other things, which is also to exercise his ability to take charge alone.

Seeing that the lights were burning in the house, Xiaobei immediately knocked on the door, Zhao Che responded, Xiaobei pushed the door open, and the cold wind immediately rolled the cold air and snowflakes into the house, and was roasted by the warm charcoal fire in the house, and it melted.

The palace people in the back hurriedly entered the house, and Xiaobei stood at the end, closing the door, and the wind and snow were also blocked.

"When did it start to snow?"

Zhao Che asked while washing his face, and Xiao Bei hurriedly said: "At the beginning of the day, it was just a light snow, and after a while, the snow became heavy, and now the ground is covered with a thin layer of snow." ”

Zhao Che frowned and thought about it, the day of the Winter Gui Festival is set by the Qintian Supervisor every year, and it is not very auspicious to change it temporarily, after thinking for a while, he instructed Xiaobei: "Go to Chengxuanmen to find Commander Yang, and ask him to send twenty more people in the back mountain to avoid accidents, and let the Internal Affairs Office send thirty palace people to clean up the snow on the mountain road." ”

If the snow keeps falling and the snow is too deep on the trail, the danger will be greatly increased.

The young masters who participated in the Winter Laurel Festival were all high-ranking officials and nobles, and seeing that the New Year was coming soon, it was not a good thing to bump into it.

Xiaobei left in response, and the other palace people waited for Zhao Che to change his clothes.

The clothes were quite thick and warm, but when I walked out of the temple door, the cold wind still slapped on my face like a knife for a moment.

Zhao Che stopped, instructed the palace people to take an extra piece of rice, and went to Ci'an Palace to greet the Queen Mother first, but he didn't expect Emperor Hengde to be there.

Emperor Hengde has been here for a while, when Zhao Che entered the door, he saw that the expressions of him and the Queen Mother were not very good-looking, Emperor Hengde diverted the topic and talked to Zhao Che, the Queen Mother seemed to be still angry, and she didn't look at Zhao Che.

Zhao Che didn't care much, and after talking to Emperor Hengde for a while, he said goodbye and left.

When Emperor Hengde and the Queen Mother were talking, they withdrew from the palace people, Zhao Che did not leave immediately after going out, stood outside the door for a while, and heard the Queen Mother say angrily: "This kid hides a knife in his smile, the city is very deep, the emperor really thinks he doesn't hate you?" When he grows up, the first one will do it to you, won't the emperor be afraid? ”

The wind and snow outside were very loud, and Zhao Che didn't hear what Emperor Hengde answered, only heard the Queen Mother's angry reprimand.

Zhao Che only listened to a few words, then felt bored, and strode out of Ci'an Palace.

Originally, he felt that today's weather was quite cold, but when he came out of Ci'an Palace, he felt that human nature was more ruthless and vicious.

After his imperial grandmother ate the Wei family's estate, she began to want to bring down him, the crown prince.

First the queen mother, then the Wei family, and finally him.

Step by step, it's really easy to calculate.

Zhao Che walked in a hurry, the palace people shouted many times before he heard it, he stopped, there was still anger in his chest, the palace people trotted to catch up, startled by his eyes, knelt down, and carefully reminded: "Your Highness, you are on the wrong path, this is not the direction to the palace." ”

Zhao Che came back to his senses and found that he was already far away from Ci'an Palace, and when he reached the range of the harem, it was time to go to Concubine De's Zhuangxian Palace not far ahead.

That woman, where is she worthy of the word Zhuang Xian?

Zhao Che clenched his fists, Zhao Chou happened to greet Concubine De, walked out of Zhuangxian Palace, saw Zhao Che standing here, and there was a palace person kneeling beside him, walked quickly, and asked lively: "Why is the imperial brother here, didn't you come to ask my mother to say goodbye?" ”

Zhao Che glanced at him coldly, raised his foot and kicked the palace man to the ground, and said meaningfully: "If you are in a bad mood, teach the dog a lesson." ”

The palace people didn't dare to talk nonsense, and hurriedly knelt down after being kicked down.

Zhao Chou seemed to have caught some trick, and immediately said: "It's not right for the imperial brother to be like this, this palace person is also a human being, how can the imperial brother be angry with others just because he is in a bad mood?" What do others think of you, the prince? ”

Who would dare to spread this kind of thing?

Of course, only Zhao Chou will spread it.

Zhao Che was not afraid of him, but he didn't want to talk to him at this time, so he said coolly: "Just now the palace went to Ci'an Palace, and my father is also talking to the emperor's grandmother, and if the fourth brother doesn't go, my father should know that you sleep lazily all day long, and you neglect to ask the emperor's grandmother for peace, and you don't keep filial piety." ”

Zhao Che learned power art from Sangong for a year, and Zhao Chou couldn't tell him, so he could only leave unwillingly.

Waiting for Zhao Chou to rush to Ci'an Palace with people, Zhao Che said to the palace people kneeling on the ground: "Go back to Yichen Palace to receive the reward, today's matter, this palace doesn't want to hear any bad rumors." ”

The palace people immediately kowtowed and said, "The slave is absolutely tight-lipped!" ”

Zhao Che glanced in the direction of Zhuangxian Palace again, brushed his sleeves and left.

He will not give up the position of prince easily, and one day, he will make these people pay the price they deserve!

Holding his breath, Zhao Che quickly walked to the Zhaoyi Gate and was about to go up the mountain alone, when an exclamation came from behind him: "Young Master Shen be careful." ”

Following the prestige, Shen Bai was wearing a big red cloak, and he fell to the ground roundly, the kind with his feet facing the sky, and his buttocks were still bounced on the ground.

This scene was very funny, and even the Praetorian Guards on duty did not hold back their laughter.

Zhao Che's stomach was half of the fire and walked to Shen Bai's side.

Dressed thickly in winter, Shen Bai didn't fall painfully, and when he saw Zhao Che, he grinned and shouted crisply: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, you are also here." ”

It was as if the man had never been troubled.

Zhao Che stretched out his hand to pull Shen Bai up, and found that there were a lot of things hidden under her cloak.

A small hand stove to warm your hands, all kinds of snacks, and a small slingshot, you can eat and play.

"Why don't you just move your home?" Zhao Che couldn't help but tease, Shen Bai didn't know if he understood or not, so he generously grabbed a handful of dried fruits and gave him a handful of them, and eagerly recommended: "These are all carefully selected shops in the city that I bought, they are very delicious, you can taste them." ”

She is very interested in eating, and Zhao Che gave her face a meal, and it tasted really good.

Shen Bai kept staring at his expression and asked, "How is it?" It's delicious. ”

Zhao Che responded to the face, put the handful of dried fruits into his sleeve pocket, and grabbed her hand.

Shen Bai wanted to hold the stove with one hand, but he couldn't eat when he was held by Zhao Che, and was about to speak, Zhao Che preemptively said: "If you don't want to wrestle, be honest, no one can grab those things in your pocket." ”

Shen Bai thought that it made sense, so he obediently let Zhao Che lead him and walked slowly up the mountain.

It was the first time for her to participate in the Winter Laurel Festival, and she felt fresh about everything, looking around along the way, climbing halfway up the mountain, although she was panting, she was not squeamish, and she would not lie to Zhao Che to hug or carry it.

Zhao Che was afraid that she would be tired, so he rested in the pavilion halfway up the mountain.

As soon as Shen Bai stopped, he hurried to eat, and asked Zhao Che while eating: "His Royal Highness's expression looks very sad, but did someone say something that makes you sad?" ”
