Soon, Uncle Kang took out a huge hanging scroll from the study and hung it on the wall, and took out a mahogany wolf and offered it to Ye Zhiqiu.

The hanging scroll and the giant pen alone were already impressive, and Uncle Kang immediately carried a small bucket, which was filled with ink.

Everyone watched all this with great interest, and only Madam Ye was used to it.

Write? For her husband, it's just a daily routine.

Importantly...... Mrs. Ye instinctively felt that this word was mysterious.

Everyone stared at Ye Zhiqiu intently, only Cao Xiwen was interested.

You readers really know how to play.

I heard that a longevity word can write a hundred kinds of patterns, can I know a ghost?

Pei Ran beside him had been poured several cups by Chen Qi and Zheng Lun in turn, and was praised by Ye Zhiqiu, who was very interested, and secretly wanted to show his hand in front of the prince.

I saw Ye Zhiqiu concentrating on ink, swiping his pen, skimming and horizontally.

Pei Ran couldn't help but scream first.

The minister knows!

This is a bamboo prefix! Lord Ye wants to write the word "Du"!

Thick also. Lord Ye dedicated this word to His Highness, he must have wanted to praise His Highness's benevolence, just like the saint's generosity!

Pei Ran was very excited about the sycophant, Ye Zhiqiu turned around and smiled faintly: "It's not a word." ”

Then it went on and on.

Zhu Zhijie whispered to Li Chongyan: "It's indeed a bamboo prefix, but there are too many words in the bamboo prefix, and I can't see it." ”

Seeing that he didn't guess, Pei Ran was a little disappointed and unwilling, and immediately shouted again: "The minister knows now, this is the word 'Wat'!" It must be Lord Ye who wants to say that we are ministers, and we should not forget the heart of loyalty. Guess right? ”

Li Chongyan was a little impatient by his noise, and didn't pay attention to him, just thinking about what kind of word it was.

This time, Ye Zhiqiu didn't speak, and he picked up the pen under the word "Wat", but he answered Pei Ran with a heavy horizontal stroke.

You're wrong again.

Pei Ran looked at Ye Zhiqiu stupidly, where the dragon flew and the phoenix danced.

The more he looked at it, the more he didn't understand, but the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became......

This、This is!

Everyone present, including Lao Cao, began to be stunned, and Prince Li Chongyan's face turned even blue.

Below the bamboo prefix, a magnificent "dragon" character suddenly appeared.

"Cage"?!

Dragons in a cage?

Dedicated to the prince with the word "cage...... Isn't that a great humiliation?!

Everyone was silent for a while, and even the crown princess sat there in shock, not knowing how to make a round out of it.

At this moment, where can anyone still think of guessing riddles.

However, one person remembered at this time.

Cao Xiwen saw that no one present spoke, pointed to the big character and asked strangely: "This is the word 'cage', even I know it, will you not know it?" ”

There was a deathly silence in the whole house, except for the occasional crackling of charcoal fire in the furnace, there was no other sound.

Li Chongyan stared at the word "cage", slowly raised the wine cup, and suddenly slapped it heavily on the table.

"Humph!"

Anger has overflowed the entire snow house.

Mrs. Ye still sat there quietly, without a trace of panic.

Husband's Ben

Things, she knows.

But Lao Cao was terrified to the extreme.

Ye Zhiqiu didn't worry about his own death, he didn't expect that such a word that everyone could understand but no one dared to say would be said by his son.

My son guessed right......

He subconsciously glanced at the meat cutting knife in front of him, and his chest was already beating wildly.

What happens next after guessing? Is it about to be rewarded?

Reward? Turn? Homicide? Escape?

However, the whole scene was as if it was frozen, and there was not the slightest movement.

Suddenly, Ye Zhiqiu laughed, not loud, but very calm.

"Hehehe, Your Highness, please sit down first." He pointed to the word "cage" with a pen in his hand and said: "It seems that you don't have a good impression of this word, do you think it is unlucky?" ”

No one dared to answer.

Li Chongyan still looked fierce, and he could feel Zhu Zhijie quietly pulling the corner of his clothes beside him.

"The word 'cage' is a bamboo on it. Zhangren palace is covered with verdant and verdant, the trees are dense, and the minister heard that there is a bamboo forest behind the Yunyang Palace where His Royal Highness lives, which is very elegant, so it is in the shape of this. His Royal Highness was born in the emperor's descent, how can the rest of the beasts be compared, isn't it a tainted identity of His Highness, and the minister is looking for the creation of all things only the word 'dragon' can be used, so he made up this cage word. ”

Ye Zhiqiu split it like this, and everyone finally dared to take a breath, but Li Chongyan's face was still ugly.

"Of course, the minister's statement is just a literal meaning, and the minister's writing of this word actually contains the minister's admiration and admiration for His Royal Highness."

Pei Ran thought to himself, this sycophant sometimes finds another way, and sees how he comes back.

"There is bamboo in front of Yunyang Palace, and it is not surprising that all officials have heard of this matter, but there is also a place where His Royal Highness's residence is bamboo, but few people know about it."

As soon as Zhu Zhijie heard about her husband's other residence, she couldn't help but ask, "Where is it?" ”

"Xinyang County, Jingzhou."

Li Chongyan didn't know what he wanted to say for a while, his anger decreased slightly, but he was a little more confused.

"The cage, although there is a dragon below, has no choice but to enter the predicament and cannot be used. At that time, in order to let His Highness understand the people's feelings, the Holy Lord deliberately let His Highness go to Xinyang County, Jingzhou, the border place, to serve as a small county commander. The minister heard that although His Royal Highness is a parent official in Xinyang County, he is honest and loves the people, and there is no extravagance, and he lives a very hard life every day, only a bamboo forest in front of the door can clear his heart and relieve his worries. ”

Li Chongyan was stunned, and then looked at the big word, and really recalled a little bit of the days in Xinyang County, no food, no drink, no play, at first quite a little like a year. This dragon of Takeshita...... Alas, there are relatives.

"How do you know that there is a bamboo forest in front of my residence?"

Ye Zhiqiu pointed at Cao Xiwen with a smile, "Your Highness probably didn't care, once when His Highness was drinking with Gongzi Cao, the minister was also beside him, and Gongzi Cao mentioned that there was a stubborn bamboo on the side of His Highness's residence, which grew strong, but he couldn't dig up bamboo shoots." ”

Cao Xiwen was stunned for a moment, and responded: "I really said that it's hard for Ye Shibo to even keep such a trivial matter in mind." ”

Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "The speaker has no intention of listening, and the minister was full of emotion at that time. Whose children are not their own flesh and blood, but the Holy One can understand the righteousness and endure the pain to send His Highness to the border. To tell you the truth, Master Pei ......"

Pei Ran suddenly heard him call his name, and he had no choice but to respond

Sound.

"Master Pei, you and I are both people with children and daughters under our knees, are you willing to let your children go to a place like Jingzhou to suffer?"

Pei Ran saw that he had gradually reversed his momentum and began to sing praises of virtue, so he hurriedly sighed affectionately: "No! Yes! Yes! ”

Cao Xiwen secretly pouted.

That's a really unpleasant sound. What kind of place is Jingzhou? What's wrong with you in Jingzhou? Without us Jingzhou people, who will keep your border peaceful?

Ye Zhiqiu continued: "Your Highness, the dragon under the bamboo is the cage, the hidden dragon on the moon is the hazy, and the sleeping dragon on the stone is the dragon, but no matter where it lives, the dragon is the dragon, and there will be a time to come out of the cage and roar into the sky, and leap into the clouds!" With all due respect, if there is no bamboo prefix today, the minister will be disrespectful to the saint with the dragon word to His Royal Highness, but with this bamboo prefix, it not only shows His Royal Highness's imperial identity, but also the minister's full admiration for His Royal Highness as a courtier. ”

Li Chongyan's heart was shaken by what he said.

Since the siege of the village, one thing he has always wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask is whether Gonggong Li leaked the secret of his life experience to Ye Zhiqiu before he died.

Maybe Ye Zhiqiu didn't know, maybe he knew but pretended not to know.

But Ye Zhiqiu's words not only pointed to his identity as a dragon descendant, but also pointed out his father's expectations for him several times.

The word "cage" is clearly a hint, a recognition, more like an oath, an oath of allegiance. He recognized me as the crown prince, and even more so as to be the future king.

Ye Zhiqiu, such a person who never intervenes in party disputes and never wades into any troubled waters, would support me, the crown prince, in front of everyone so clearly, such a scheming person who is good at knowing the direction of the wind, does it need to be said more?

Li Chongyan seemed to have gradually forgotten Fang Cai's anger, and instead was a burst of fluttering. It is not uncommon for Pei Ran to flatter people like him every day, but it is a cautious person like Ye Zhiqiu who approaches him, which makes him feel a little fulfilled.

Zhu Zhijie saw that the scene was slowing down, and hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said: "Lord Ye's calligraphy is very attained, I see that this bamboo word is written rigorously and quite lawfully, but the dragon character below is magnificent, especially the mention of closing the pen, which can be called the eyesight." ”

Not only did he use the dragon as a metaphor to say good things about his husband, but he only judged calligraphy, and did not involve the slightest court matter, which was quite decent.

Li Chongyan's tense face finally relaxed, and he laughed: "Ye Shangshu is worthy of being a person who can be distinguished, and even the crown princess has spoken for you." But your clever solution is novel, and it is more interesting than ordinary singing and dancing at the banquet. Oh yes. He turned to Cao Xiwen and smiled: "They didn't recognize this word, or you guessed correctly, they should be rewarded." ”

Cao Xiwen didn't understand what happened to Fang Cai at all, and when he heard Li Chongyan say that he wanted to reward himself, he thought that Fang Cai had already informed himself in advance in the garden that he wanted to appreciate ink, so he also deliberately cooperated and smiled: "Okay, what does Your Highness want to reward?" ”

Lao Cao's heart has been hung to his throat, his right hand has not fallen, and his left hand has quietly grasped the sharp knife in front of him.

Lao Cao tried his best to keep calm and reproached: "My son, although Your Highness has grace, but you should also know that the word Fang Cai is deliberately not said by everyone's humility, how can you take advantage of this with a shy face?" ”

Squeezing your eyebrows as you speak, don't ask for a reward!

Cao Xiwen was stunned, he couldn't understand Lao Cao's words, and he couldn't understand the meaning of his twisting his nose and frowning and twisting his mouth.

"Really? So they all let me? I said how I know this word alone. ”
