Early in the morning of June 24, Zhou Xuan rode the "Crane in the Clouds" to Daxing Palace, and made an appointment to go to the lakeside Xiaozhu at the southern end of Shanglin Yuan today to make tea for Xiao Zhouhou and the prince and Princess Qingle, and boiled Xinzhou silver quill tea with 6 feather spring water.

Zhou Xuan rode a horse to the front of the Linde Hall of Daxing Palace, Xiao Zhouhou and Princess Qingle are dressed in men's clothes, wearing a round-necked summer shirt, white socks and soap boots, riding a big horse with gold and silver saddles, Xiao Zhouhou's mount is "Shine on the night jade flower skull", Princess Qingle is "maple dew purple", in addition to the different colors of the horses, the mother and daughter are like twin sisters, peach and plum compete for beauty, and the beauty is shining.

Seeing Zhou Xuan's "Crane in the Clouds", Xiao Zhou Houqi said: "Isn't this the Qingqi I gave to Lin Hanyun?" Nephew Xuan, where is your black golden horse? ”

When Zhou Xuan reported to Li Yu yesterday, he didn't say anything about Xiahou's tassels, but only said that he used a trick on Lan Lianchang, and asked Li Jian to hide it for him in advance. ”

Xiao Zhouhou smiled: "I forgot to ask you about the Lin sisters yesterday, how is it, didn't Lin Hanyun come to Beijing with you?" ”

The crown prince Li Jian arrived on a yellow horse, just in time to hear Xiao Zhouhou's question, and replied with a smile: "The queen mother doesn't know yet, Cousin Xuan and Miss Lin Er have been married, and they will get married in the spring of next year." ”

Xiao Zhouhou and Princess Qingle looked at Zhou Xuan together, Princess Qingle felt a wave of jealousy in her heart for no reason, she was simply indignant, she felt that this Zhou Xuan was too happy, she was a lord and a wife, and he took all the good things in the world alone, and she Li Huzhu was a princess, but she had to marry the Southern Han Dynasty from afar, that fat pig-like prince, it was disgusting to think about it-

Xiao Zhouhou said angrily: "Such a big event, why didn't Nephew Xuan tell me, I'm not your elder?" ”

Zhou Xuan hurriedly said: "Yesterday was too hasty, and my nephew just wanted to show my aunt today." ”

Xiao Zhou nodded. Say: "Let's go, go to the lakeside building." "Urging the horse in front, Princess Qingle followed, Zhou Xuan and Li Jian rode side by side, followed by a team of Jin Wuwei.

Shanglin Yuan's forest and green onion cage, the rising sun is not very sunny, the horses run there is a cool breeze, when passing by the royal juju, Zhou Xuan saw a group of palace ladies playing football, using the modern football rules he taught. Xi said: "Auntie, this woman is all the rage!" ”

Xiao Zhou said loudly: "Keju fitness, but I love horseback riding more than Kemari." ”

Xiao Zhouhou rode in a very beautiful posture, his buttocks were raised, his thighs were clamped, and he ran swiftly and stretched according to the night jade flowers. Princess Qingle's riding skills are also good, but her posture is more feminine and slender than her mother's, but she lacks the heroic posture of Xiao Zhouhou.

Zhou Xuan said: "Since my aunt likes to ride horses, my nephew knows a kind of equestrian obstacle race, which is very interesting. ”

Xiao Zhou Hou said happily: "Okay, nephew Xuan draws a picture." I ordered someone to set up the venue. ”

As the horse galloped through the alfalfa field. Princess Qingle glanced back at Zhou Xuan, obviously remembering the last time Li Kun designed to assassinate Zhou Xuan, and no one in the palace dared to mention that incident later.

Princess Qingle thought to herself: "Brother Wang's plan is really vicious, if Zhou Xuan is in the middle of the plan and has a rude behavior towards my mother, even if my mother recognizes him as a nephew, he will definitely be a capital crime, but if Zhou Xuan is rude to me, will my father and mother kill Zhou Xuan?" Ah. What's the point of thinking about this now, Zhou Xuan has done too many rude things to me, beating me **, looking at my body - I voluntarily let him see it, I want a portrait, how can I do it without looking. I'll show him later. ”

Come to the lakeside building at the southern end of Shanglin Garden. Several rows of sparse bamboo, a row of quiet bamboo buildings. The wind on the lake is cool and pleasant.

The urn of 6 feather spring water and two cans of Xinzhou silver quill tea were sent by the eunuch early in the morning, Zhou Xuan fully demonstrated the tea art learned from the Jingyi fairy, using the water nature and fire to master, the mellow and fragrant tea, the characteristics of the tea color are vivid and vivid, Xiao Zhou Hou and Li Jian are amazed.

Zhou Xuan told Xiao Zhouhou about his engagement with Lin Hanyun, and Xiao Zhouhou smiled: "Very good, Lin Hanyun and Xuan's nephew are a good match, Xuan's nephew can go to Jiangzhou to marry Lin Hanyun when he comes back from the Southern Han Dynasty, Lin Hanyun is a lively person, and the palace also likes her." After glancing at Li Jian, he was relieved to see his beloved son's expression as usual.

Princess Qingle heard her mother say that Zhou Xuan would marry Lin Hanyun when she came back from the Southern Han Dynasty, and she really didn't feel good in her heart.

Xiao Zhou asked again: "Is Miss Lin good?" ”

Zhou Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Fairy Jingyi has moved out of the Duhu Mansion and lived in Baiyun Temple. ”

Xiao Zhou remembered that time when Fairy Jingyi refused her grace and refused to marry Zhou Xuan, she sighed slightly, and then didn't mention it again, and only asked about the mountains and rivers of Xinzhou.

At this time, a guard officer of the East Palace hurriedly came to Li Jian, saying that Chen Shilang had an urgent letter, and Li Jian said goodbye to his mother and hurried away.

Xiao Zhouhou looked at the unhappy Princess Qingle and said softly: "Zhu'er, if you have anything else, the queen mother will do her best to do it for you." ”

Princess Qingle said in her heart: "If I say I don't want to go to the Southern Han Dynasty, will you agree to the queen mother!" He shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that Cousin Xuan's portrait of me is gone." ”

Xiao Zhou then advised: "Nephew Xuan, don't be busy with other things these days, you are also an idle scholar of the Xian Palace, go to Jingxu Palace every day to paint the portrait of Hu Zhu, and you are limited to hand over three sketches before the tenth day of the next month, together with the spring sleep picture painted last time, a total of four, will be hidden in the Nanxun Palace, preserved for future generations, and let future generations know that there is such a beautiful princess in our Tang Kingdom." ”

Princess Qingle knew that the queen mother was coaxing her to be happy, and said with a forced smile: "The queen mother should also paint a few more pictures, so that future generations will know that my Tang country has such a stunning queen." ”

Xiao Zhou was praised by her daughter like this, she was slightly ashamed, glanced at Zhou Xuan, and said: "Nephew Xuan has already painted one for me, and there is still one to be edicted, which is enough." ”

After gossiping for a while, Zhou Xuan said that he would draw the drawings of the equestrian obstacle course when he went back in the evening, and Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's important to paint a portrait of Hu Zhu first, and Xuan nephew will go to Jingxu Palace with Hu Zhu." ”

After Zhou Xuan resigned from Xiao Zhou, he came to the "Chuxiu Pavilion" of Jingxu Palace's dormitory with Princess Qingle, thinking: "The princess is going to show me the Spring Palace again?" Want to draw in a different pose? ”

Princess Qingle ordered the palace maid Fangcha to take out a scroll and unfold it to take a look, it was the half-exposed picture of snow breasts that Zhou Xuan painted for Princess Qingle last time, which was similar to the posture of the spring sleep picture, that is, the chest was more exposed, the two lumps were plump and greasy, squeezed one after another, and the two snow-white long legs were almost not covered, which was extremely tempting.

"Cousin Xuan, this one is half-covered and half-hidden, not as I wanted, I have to paint two more, one is sitting and the other is standing sideways, how about it?" Princess Qingle pretended to be very casual.

Zhou Xuanxin said: "You are bold, you are not revealing enough, you want to go crazy before the arrival of the Snow Pig Prince?" Dude, be careful not to make a big deal. He said, "Then I have to paint five paintings, Princess, painting is very tiring, or else, I will finish the three pictures that my aunt confessed first, and then I will paint these two pictures when I have time, how about it?" ”

Princess Qingle thought for a while and said, "Then paint at intervals, paint one like that, paint one like this, so as not to ask the queen mother and not be able to get the portrait." "Such means to wear clothes, and that refers to not to wear.

Princess Qingle accepted the portrait, let Fang Cha hide it, and led Zhou Xuan to the study of Yuping Pavilion to draw a cheongsam first.

This is a fine brush painting, since you want to paint, then you have to go all out to paint it, both sides of the painting are very regular, there is no ambiguity, but Zhou Xuan always feels that Princess Qingle looks at him a little wrong.

When Shen Shi Zhou Xuan returned to the mansion, he had not yet sat down, but reported that Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Officials had arrived, in order to serve Qin Que in the Imperial Doctor's Office.

The Tang Imperial Medical Department is subordinate to Taichang Temple, and there are two Taiyi Orders, with seven official ranks, two hundred and forty taels of silver, and two Taiyi Cheng, with an official rank of seven products, and one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Li Yu passed on the decree to the Ministry of Officials, Taichang Temple, and added a Taiyi Order, and Qin Que, the former assistant teacher of the Jiangzhou Medical Department, held this position, without going to the Taiyi Department to sit in the court, only to wait for the summons in the palace, so in the evening of this day, Liu Shilang personally sent the edict to the Xinzhou County Mansion, and the mansion celebrated, and the maids and servants came to congratulate Mrs. Qi'er, pleased the money, and it was lively in the middle of the night.

At night, Zhou Xuan slept with Qin Que, Zhou Xuan didn't call the finch anymore, called Qin Taiyi, Qin Que was shy and happy, and it was very interesting when he was in love, and "The Secret of Chong and Zi Yufang" was very happy.

On June 25, Zhou Xuan accompanied Qin Que to the Imperial Medical Department, although he didn't have to go to the court, he always had to show up and get to know his colleagues.

Taichang Siqing personally accompanied, and more than 60 people, including two imperial physicians and two imperial physicians in the Imperial Doctor's Office, as well as palm medicine, palm prescription, doctors, teaching assistants, and medical students, lined up to greet them.

Qin Que didn't squint, she was slightly shy, and Zhou Xuan handled the greeting etiquette for her, she just had to follow the salute.

Although Zhou Xuan was short-sighted, he saw that there was someone in the queue who was very familiar, not the Dr. Fang who had led him, this person was younger than Dr. Fang, wearing a blue shirt, deliberately lowering his head, looking cramped and uneasy
