The piano is in Lianyi's study.

On weekdays, the prince reads in the bedroom, so there are shelves of books there. Hewei set up a bigger house.

Of course, because the prince and Xu Hewei had an unusual love in the past, this room is actually a study shared by two people. Chen Yu often sticks to Hewei's side, doesn't read, only looks at her.

For Chen Yu, whether it is his bedroom or this study, all the books are decorations, and the lotus flavor is a book that he can't read enough.

The sun just after noon was bright and sweet, shining in through the window lattice, and the spring breeze blew the tassels of the Fuxiqin on the desk.

The barley-colored ears lined with the old-fashioned low-key old copper-colored piano surface complement each other perfectly, and at first glance it is the taste of lotus.

Lianyi was accompanied by Jin Bei to come in, and the soldier guarding the door also deliberately said: "The prince knows that Concubine Xu is coming to this room, and left a message: Yes, just look at it." ”

Chen Yu is a person, really!

Let Lianyi quickly rush over to check, and the one who exclaimed a little was the piano.

A piece of about an inch of inlaid treasure and Tian jade pendant is inlaid on it.

Hetian jade is a high-grade, old thing, warm and moist jade body, carved into a phoenix and a phoenix to fly against each other, so that the whole jade pendant has become a delicate and lovely oval, not the usual square. The part of the phoenix's wings uses the original jade body deep blood amber color, which is gorgeous and compelling.

The wings are dotted with broken pearls, and the eyes of a phoenix and a phoenix are made of precious lapis lazuli, and the claws are rubies.

The ornaments on the forehead of this piece are gorgeous but exquisite, not abrupt at all, and do not fall into the vulgar stream.

"But, that's not what Hewei likes." Lianyi said.

She and Wei Qi's previous speculation was a little bit touched: for the time being, although Hewei said that he did not leave 100,000 taels of gold, the priceless jade pendant was left behind.

Last night, the night shrouded Caicaolou, and Lianyi didn't notice it at all.

However, the crown princess must have seen it! She doesn't seem to be in it? Finished returning to Zhao? At least, "return to my sister"?

In other words, if Hewei eloped with his lover that day and brought such a piano upstairs, what would he do? Besides, the strings shouldn't be able to play any decent tunes.

Jin Bei responded to Lianyi's words, "You can ask the prince about the origin of this qin." ”

"Ask him?" Lianyi hesitated.

Jin Bei put on his husband's face again, "Your Highness, you and the crown prince are not enemies, you always have to talk more in order to have a heart-to-heart relationship and be harmonious." Have you forgotten Mrs. Xu? Lying on the sickbed, I also hope that you will be favored and trusted by the prince! ”

"I see." Lian Yi wandered around the bookshelf, "Reasoning, it's not strange to ask the master about this qin." ”

Without waiting for Jin Bei to say anything, Lianyi walked out with her skirt, "Go!" Find the Crown Princess Shane! ”

When it was over, he told the soldier guarding the door at the door, "This piano is too precious, except for the prince and me, no one is allowed to enter this room again, lock it!" Men are sent to guard day and night! ”

"Yes! Little Concubine Xu! ”

Jin Bei watched Lianyi become energetic, and gave orders, silently following her out of the courtyard with a smile, but after all, he couldn't help but tease her, "The last time you went, you shouldn't have brought a greeting gift, this second time you went......"

As soon as the words came out, Xu Lianyi really spun around in place in the small green courtyard, "How is this very good, it's too rude." I've eaten several meals! Jin Guard," Lianyi looked at Jin Bei with an anxious expression, "Is there anything my mother can handle in the things she has packed?" ”

Jin Bei found that he now knew more and more about the woman in front of him, and with a light attempt, he made her so funny.

Fun is secondary, and the most important thing is to make her forget for a while what she can't understand, and she doesn't even want to tell him completely.

Jin Bei easily made a serious appearance of giving ideas for his master, "All the people I take are daily necessities." And it's all you've used. ”

Lianyi changed the direction of the circle, and in turn turned away.

Jin Bei felt that there was enough trouble, so he grabbed Lianyi's wrist, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, the emperor and the queen have rewarded something, pick a few good ones, and give the shame gift first, it's okay." ”

Lianyi sighed, "That's all it can be." However, what to give back to the emperor and the queen! It's a really ...... account."

Lianyi walked into the house and asked, "Where is the reward?" While hearing Jin Bei persuade her: "What to give back to the two saints, you naturally have to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince......"

"Here we go again." Lianyi pouted.

Lianyi is so repulsive to the prince, Jin Bei doesn't know whether to be happy or worried.

"Bastard," he cursed himself inwardly, "of course you have to worry. ”

The gifts, in addition to food and medicine, were piled up in a room in the back building.

The two of them opened the box and chose it, and they couldn't help but appreciate and comment on the things they were holding in their hands.

After a long time, no one knew Ye Qianbo's preferences, so he could only pick the most expensive thing among the things rewarded by Queen Hulu.

"This pair of golden jade mushroom leaf earrings is very suitable for the crown princess." Lianyi said.

"The silver box outside is good, and it is small to hold, otherwise it is not suitable for the appearance of Taixing Shi moving the crowd." Jin Bei agreed.

"Jin Guard's good character, when he gets married in the future, he must have a discussion with his wife." Lianyi praised him.

Speaking of the scene just now, the two are indeed like a young couple who live in harmony.

And Lianyi didn't realize that Jin Bei blushed a little after hearing this, took the earrings himself, and walked out again.

The crown princess was in the house where she saw Lianyi that day, just after resting, she was still combing her hair, and she was smiling and calling Lianyi in, while Jin Bei stayed outside the red curtain.

Lianyi knelt down and asked for peace, but he didn't get up after getting the order, and first presented the gift high, "Nu Yuan doesn't know how to be polite, thanks to Niangniang's generosity and wrong love." ”

The crown princess took the silver box from the hands of the eunuchs beside her, opened it and looked at the earrings, and immediately ordered the palace daughter to put them on for herself, and let Lianyi get up again.

"You're so polite. I haven't prepared a gift for you, I'll make up for it someday. ”

Lian Yi smiled respectfully and sat gently on the chair opposite Kang Yan'er. "What is Niangniang busy in the palace, but if there is a need for slaves, just call slaves, although slaves are stupid, they can also contribute."

The crown princess was excited when she heard it, "Speaking of which, I'm worried, Princess Rouxi was originally in charge of Taixue's affairs, she is gone, and no one has filled it, it's been almost ten days, because no one dares to provoke our master, and no one dares to mention this matter." Seventy-seven-eighty-eight, all heaped together with me. I can't read a few big words, but how is it good! ”

Lian Yi didn't dare to confirm what the crown princess meant, and she didn't dare to deal with it casually, so she swept her eyes outside the red soft curtain, and just saw Jin Bei's right foot in military boots raised and nodded slightly.

"Is this a point for me? Is this to make me agree? Lianyi muttered in her heart, and continued to smile on her face, "It's all my sister who is tired of my mother." In our Xu family, there is no one who is not guilty. ”

The crown princess had already put on her earrings and took a picture in the bronze mirror, quite satisfied.

She put down the bronze mirror and looked at Lianyi, "How is it?" Otherwise, you can help me first? ”

At this moment, Jin Bei's foot outside the red soft curtain was pointing more quickly.

Hewei first entered the palace as a female official, but it was just a new book dedicated to various places in the imperial study and other places. Later, because he was good at being an errand boy, he was promoted all the way, so he went to Taixue. It wasn't a place for ordinary people to stay, she was in charge of a very sensitive errand: Shi Ce.

When scholars take the imperial examination, there is already a "current policy" in the six subjects, that is, discussing current affairs and expounding coping strategies. Since the second year of the current emperor's accession to the throne, this new policy has been set up in Taixue: a special person will organize Taixue students to report topics, do surveys, and write essays, which is the time policy outside the exam. Every student is qualified to write, and has the right not to write. However, as long as he writes, he will be able to accumulate a lot of brilliance on his resume, and he will be rewarded with money and land at that time, and he will have the opportunity to participate in the matter he wrote and analyzed.

Studying, originally for the glory of the ancestors, the wife and the son, self-cultivation and the rule of the country and the world, if there is a chance to influence the government, which reader is not moved?

Later, about 10 years ago, under the initiative of the then Taixue sacrificial wine, the content of the Shi Ce was somewhat expanded, but anyone who proposed a new method of reading history and scriptures, or put forward a new method of gaining the government although there was no needle and a bad time, it was counted.

The official name of Hewei is "Election Officer", and Zheng'er Bajing is responsible for inspiring and teaching students, and participating more in the affairs of writing "Shi Ce".

Her errand is actually very complicated, because it involves money, land, reputation, and a limited number of places, so it is not simple, but it is not just a matter of reading a few articles.

Seeing that Jin Bei's feet were still frantically pointed, Lian Yi thought that she could go out of the palace no matter how she went to Taixue as a female official, and she could even have an errand to avoid the prince Chen Yu - as a female official in the imperial court, the prince can't abuse him if he wants to, right?

Lianyi's head was hot, and her heart was horizontal, "Although the slave is not sensible, he is willing to share his worries for his mother." It's just, is this going to report to which adult, or to the emperor, the queen's mother and other elders? In other words, since the slave entered the palace, the ancestors like the concubine of self-defense, and the other masters, have not gone to see them. ”

The crown princess ignored her and ordered the eunuchs beside her, "Bring those articles over." ”

The eunuch agreed, and after a while, he retrieved a yellow cloth bag, opened it, and it was a roll of bamboo paper tied with a red silk rope.

Only then did the crown princess smile and say to Lianyi, "These days, the topic submitted by the students is to explain how they are going to write the current policy." I have a headache to watch, you can take a look for me, choose. As for the rest, I can only talk about it. The first is that you are not familiar with it, you may not be able to do it, and you may not be able to hold down the field, but reading the article is simple, you can do it; The second is, who you are......"

The crown princess paused deliberately, "Didn't you just say that you should report it to anyone, it's a little difficult to say about this matter." In the palace, although they all call you Concubine Xu, you are not the prince's concubine. The emperor and the queen mother reward you with things, mainly to comfort the prince's heart. Actually, it's not against you. ”

"Yes, that's what Niang Niang taught."

"So your current situation is too early. Not to mention anything else, everyone knows that there is a side concubine in our prince's palace. Everybody knows that there's a you. If everyone knew that you didn't have a place and walked around, wouldn't it be more and more noisy! ”

Lianyi agreed again: "Niangniang is reasonable. ”

Standing behind the crown princess to the palace daughter, she added, "Our mother supplies you according to the prince's side concubine, but in fact, the palace does not give this silver, who has the mercy of our mother!" ”

Jin Bei, outside the red soft curtain, is now motionless, and his feet are no longer clicking.

Lianyi got up, took a half step forward, lowered his head and took the yellow cloth bag, a dangerous but bold idea came to Lianyi's heart. When she looked up at the crown princess again, her eyes were sincerely happy.

"The slave thanked the mother for her trust, and the slave must be a good errand for the mother. The mother rested first, and the slave retired. ”

Lianyi was allowed to leave the Chengrui Hall with a smile. Jin Bei didn't ask her until she walked back to the gate of the side courtyard, "What do you have in mind?" ”

Lianyi restrained her smile, "Jin Guard, do you know what Shi Ce is?" ”

"I've heard a little."

"My sister may not have left 100,000 taels of gold, but what she left behind is an equally important time."

"Huh?"

"In short, the Crown Princess is very concerned about the traces left by my sister. And in order to get what she wants, let me read the article today, and let me do other drudgery in the future. ”

"That's right. But can't guess what you're thinking? ”

Lian Yi turned her face to look at him proudly, "The crown princess asked me to be an errand for her, and she didn't give me the position of a female official." Do you think the prince knows about this? ”

"I don't know."

"Then, do I know that the crown prince doesn't know?"

"Huh?"

"Then, does the crown princess know that I know that the crown prince doesn't know? Does the crown prince know that the crown princess knows or not, does I know that the prince knows? ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Lianyi continued to walk towards the main room, "I want to say, I was wrong. I actually thought about taking the path of the crown princess, getting some shelter, and it was reasonable to go to see Concubine Wei. It's a real reluctance. I don't have a position, it's not appropriate to go to meet anyone, that's true, but there is not a single law or palace rule that says I am not allowed to go. My presence in the East Palace is embarrassing enough, am I afraid of even more embarrassment? ”

"To be honest, the minister doesn't understand it very well."

Lianyi patted Jin Bei's arm, "Thank you Jin Guard for always persuading me to be good, I listened." Tonight, I will live in harmony with the crown prince. ”

Lianyi looked back at the sky outside, well, I was actually looking forward to the prince coming back soon!
