By the time Qin Lei followed the crown prince through the entire process of greeting the emperor, the sky was already dark.

The empathetic prince did not let Qin Lei, who was tired and dying, eat with him, but sent him back to the Scholar Pavilion early to rest.

Qin Lei stepped into the quiet courtyard with heavy steps, saw that there was a light in the room, and suddenly his sleepiness disappeared, so he waved away the palace people who were waiting, and pushed open the door with his heart pounding.

Under the lamp, a beautiful woman with a slender body sat on the bed. As soon as she saw someone coming in, she hurriedly got up, and after seeing the person clearly, she knelt down and whispered: "Slave Ruolan, welcome Your Highness." "The voice is soft and pleasant, like a spring breeze.

It turned out that it wasn't Nian Yao. Although he knew it was unlikely, he was still a little disappointed. Qin Lei said softly: "Get up." Then he went straight into the inner room, and this time he wouldn't be in the wrong bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qin Lei slept very deeply and did not dream. It took three poles to wake up naturally. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he found that his coat, shoes and socks had been removed, and his body was covered with a warm brocade quilt. He shook his head, remembering that he had fallen asleep yesterday after entering the house, without taking off his shoes or covering the quilt.

He lifted the quilt and rolled over, and the sound alarmed the outside. A goose-yellow figure appeared at the door and said softly, "Your Highness, you are awake." As he spoke, he came in with a stack of clothes.

Seeing that it was yesterday's girl, Qin Lei nodded and said, "En, your name is Ruoyan, right?" ”

"Slave Ruolan."

Ruolan put the clothes in the cabinet, and then blessed Qin Lei and said, "Your Highness, it's time to wash." ”

Qin Lei has lived here for eight days, and he is no longer a stranger to the ** life of princes and nobles. He followed Ruolan to the next wing. There is a small bath in the wing, and several palace maids are adjusting the water temperature. Seeing Qin Lei come in, they all got up and saluted, and said coquettishly: "See Your Highness." ”

Qin Lei nodded, and instructed Ruolan: "Tell them not to be polite, just get by." Ruolan nodded and began to undress Qin Lei.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Qin Lei, who was taking a comfortable bath, didn't know that in the imperial study of the inner palace, there was a conversation about his fate. The conversation was about the crown prince and Emperor Zhaowu, the first father and son of Great Qin.

Even in the face of his son, who looked most like him, Emperor Zhaowu still did not have a trace of a smile on his face. It was as if only yesterday's Yongfu could thaw the ice on his face.

The crown prince didn't care, he had long been accustomed to Emperor Zhaowu's temperament. Early this morning, he entered the palace to face the saint, and selected the major and minor events that had happened in the nine months since he was imprisoned to write important reports to Zhaowu.

Most of the things had already been known to Emperor Zhaowu through the music, so Emperor Zhaowu was listening while still flipping through the transcript that came from the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday.

The more the prince spoke, the more bored he became, and the more he spoke, the shorter he became. What was supposed to take two hours to finish, he reported it in more than half an hour. After he stopped talking for a long time, Emperor Zhaowu took his eyes off the recital, looked at him and said, "Finished?" ”

The prince said respectfully: "It's over." ”

Emperor Zhaowu nodded and said, "Then go down." ”

The crown prince was a little disappointed by the emperor's coldness, and he groaned and arched his hand: "Enlighten the father, there is one more thing that needs to be come up with a charter from the father. ”

Emperor Zhaowu sneered, "There is still a need for the charter?" The Prime Minister doesn't care? ”

The prince bowed his head and said, "This matter can't be managed by the Prime Minister's government." ”

"What's the matter?"

"About the errand of the fifth brother......" The prince raised his head, his eyes radiating a determined light. He said in a clear voice: "This matter cannot be delayed any longer. ”

Emperor Zhaowu let out an 'oh', "This matter." He mused, "It really can't be delayed any longer." ”

The prince of Great Qin would generally get an errand at the age of sixteen to prepare for the title of king at the age of eighteen.

Emperor Zhaowu looked at the crown prince and said softly, "I heard that you are walking very close?" ”

The prince's face remained unchanged, and he nodded: "Erchen and the fifth brother did fall in love, so they got closer. ”

A smile squeezed out of the corner of Emperor Zhaowu's mouth, and he asked rhetorically, "Then what do you want him to do?" ”

The prince remembered Qin Lei's statement yesterday, and said respectfully: "Yesterday, Erchen asked the fifth brother, and he wanted to think about it. Erchen also thought that he should be given a few days. ”

Emperor Zhaowu waved his right hand and said, "Don't think about it, you can take this back for him." As he spoke, the old eunuch on the side took out a fold from under the paperweight on the imperial case and presented it to the prince with both hands.

The prince took it and tucked it into his sleeve. Then he thanked him and withdrew. As soon as he turned around, the emperor's cold voice came from behind him: "In the future, you will have to respect Ru Niangniang, you know?" ”

The prince trembled, nodded and said, "Erchen understands." ”

"Go ahead."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When some of the unrelenting princes returned to the East Palace and saw the refreshed Qin Lei, it was already lunch time.

The prince took a few bites of it, then got up and went to the study.

The palace maids and eunuchs around looked stupidly at Qin Lei, who was still enjoying the food slowly, and finally looked a little embarrassed by Qin Lei, pushed down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and followed him to the study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw that the prince was writing, and he stood aside with bated breath, quietly admiring the prince's masterpiece.

The prince was calm, and his pen walked between dragons and snakes, still strict in his law, deep and introverted. The prince put down his pen, moved his wrist, carefully studied his pen and ink, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Although Qin Lei didn't appreciate it, he also felt that this character was extremely well written, so he clapped his hands and joked: "Good words, good words." Then he reads:

"Lonely and secluded grass grows on the edge of the stream, and there are yellow orioles singing in the deep trees.

The spring tide brings rain and comes in a hurry, and the wild ferry is unmanned and self-controlled. ”

For some reason, Qin Lei always felt that this poem was obscene and lustful, he couldn't help laughing, and said, "I didn't expect the second brother to sing a good poem." This poem is quite fragrant, and I like it tightly. ”

The prince scolded with a smile: "You don't learn and don't know how to do it, this is what Wei Yingwu did, you are light-minded and sad." Where does it come from? He was in a depressed mood, so he wrote this little poem that was quite resentful. was stirred by Qin Lei, and the feeling of hurting the past and the present suddenly flew out of the clouds.

Qin Lei smiled and didn't argue. He insisted that it was an obscene poem.

The prince snorted angrily: "If you think it's the right appetite, take it back and frame it." And this. He took out a fold from his sleeve and threw it to Qin Lei.

Qin Lei took it, opened it and saw that it was the emperor's edict, which was much less nonsense than the holy decree. "Today, I order the fifth prince Lei to learn from Qian Weiyong, the left servant of the household department. Chin this. "It is covered with the emperor's seal.

Qin Lei said strangely, "Didn't you ask me to think about it for two days yesterday, why did you send an errand today?" ”

The prince sat down to take a sip of tea and said with a smile: "How can it be so simple? This is to ask you to learn from the officials of the household department, and if you want to officially send errands, it will take half a year. ”

Seeing that Qin Lei was a little disappointed, the prince comforted: "But according to the convention, where you study, you will generally be sent there." Do not worry. ”

Qin Lei opened his mouth and thanked the prince. The two brothers talked again, and Qin Lei went back to his courtyard. did not enter the house, but went directly out of the East Palace through the back door and got into the carriage waiting at the door.

In the carriage, a bearded Luo Tuo Wensheng was smiling at him.

After Qin Lei got into the car, he punched Wensheng lightly and said with a smile: "Can't you dress up neatly?" Do you still want to marry a daughter-in-law? ”

Wen Sheng originally wanted to laugh at his words, but he was held back, but he looked up and laughed playfully for a long time: "Xiao Sheng doesn't believe that there is no one in the world who likes our vicissitudes of life." ”

The conversation between the two made Shen Luo's well-maintained face on the side laugh wrinkled, and he laughed: "I said that Guantao is also raunchy, and only rich people can call it vicissitudes, and you call it down-and-out." ”

Guan Tao rolled his eyelids and snorted coldly: "The rich man Shen is a copper-smelling man." ”

While a few people were laughing, the carriage drove to a courtyard, drove directly in, and stopped at a water pavilion.

The three of them came down, and Qin Lei saw that the courtyard in this winter was covered in silver, like Yuyu Qionglou and Yaochi Wonderland. When I asked, I learned that it was the outer house given to Shen Luo by the Shen family. Thinking of the small mansion given to him by the prince, Qin Lei's heart was desolate.

The surface of the lake has frozen, and a thick layer of white snow covers it. Let the people on the stone bridge have the feeling of walking in the sky.

The three of them walked along the stone bridge to the water pavilion in the lake, which was a completely enclosed small hall, and there was a beautiful charcoal basin in the corner, warm as spring.

There is a table in the center of the hall. Eight light side dishes, a pot of old wine still warm in hot water.
