The thunder broke in the sky, and the wind suddenly rose in all directions, and the spring cold, which had only been hidden for a short time, was hooked out again, hiding in the corner to probe his brain, and he wanted to send out a shiver to taste it while people were not paying attention.

The rain came too quickly, and the little maid Xie Tingtong suffered a God-given loss.

She was about to go to Zhegui Pavilion with a few jade plates, thinking that there was still some daylight, and the wind and rain would never come so quickly, but she never thought that she would be careless and suffer her own losses.

The most troublesome thing is that the Zhegui Pavilion of the East Mansion is different from the ordinary palace, it has neither a cloister and a waist, nor a foil to the side hall, it stands alone among the laurel trees in the courtyard, if the osmanthus is in full bloom in September, you can enjoy the rich scenery of the luxuriant in the Zhegui Pavilion at the height.

Especially in the night of September, when the Suqin Ya dance was invited again, and the Qiongzhu fragrant wine, the fragrant breeze was smooth, and it was even more beautiful, and it was not a night for a while.

Although Xie Tingtong leaned down and tried his best to protect the few jade plates in his arms, when they came to Yang Shao's side, they were still a little wet by the wind and rain, and they were no longer smooth.

Xie Tingtong gently placed them on the bookcase, lowered his head and retreated to the side, his slender hands quietly twisting the corners of his clothes, looking full of cramped thoughts.

Yang Shaofang, who was painting, looked at the soft edge of the jade plate, and then raised his eyes to look at the trembling Xie Ting pupil, and suddenly felt surprised in his heart, so he asked with a puzzled smile: "Little girl, today is just a few wet jade plates, this palace treats you so well, why are you so uneasy?" ”

"Concubine...... Messed up His Highness's jade tablet......"

Yang Shaofang pinched the chicken wolf, licked the ink pool, and laughed: "Don't tell the truth!" If you don't tell the truth, then let Hongu guess? ”

So he thought about it for a moment, and he did it in one fell swoop.

Xie Ting's eyes secretly glanced at the bookcase pen out of the corner of his eyes, wanting to say something, but he was a little timid.

Yang Shaofang picked up Mobao and unfolded it, "Is it because Shen Gongzi is about to return to Beijing, so you are flustered?" ”

Xie Ting's pupils lowered his eyebrows, "It was said by His Highness." The concubine didn't want to go back to the Shen Mansion, and wanted to wait for the Qinggong here. ”

"Then you can admit frankly, why bother to act like this, as if you want to avoid your son!" Yang Shaofang complained.

"But the concubine has an agreement with Shen Gongzi, and he treats me like a sister. When he went to Dayong, Shen Gongzi was afraid that the concubine would be wronged after he left, so he sent the Dongfu to His Royal Highness to take care of him, and promised to take the concubine back when he returned to Beijing. ”

Yang Shaofang smiled heartily: "You have to worry about this little thing for a long time? Brother Shen is not an unreasonable person, if you don't want to go back to Shen Mansion, just tell him, but...... This is not what this palace meant, don't tell him to deviate, it's not this palace that wants to keep you. ”

Xie Tingtong owes a salute, "Although this matter is small, in terms of concubines, it is a major matter of wealth...... Today is abrupt, begging His Highness not to blame. ”

"And it does." Yang Shaofang shook his head helplessly and smiled, "Seeing that you are soaked, hurry up and change your clothes, this palace doesn't want Shen Gongzi to see a sick little girl!" By the way, take the umbrella of the main palace and go! After that, he lowered his head and continued to polish the laurel tree that he had just drawn.

Xie Tingtong thanked him for his retirement, and as soon as he came out of Zhegui Pavilion, he vaguely saw two figures walking towards her in the wind and rain. ”

"Your Highness is inside?" Wei Zhuangming asked neatly dressed.

"Elder Ge, Your Highness is painting, and you are going down to the court."

"No need, I'll go find him." Wei Zhuangming entered the Zhegui Pavilion.

The arrival of Wei Zhuangming, the old man of Wenhua Pavilion, made Yang Shaofang overjoyed, and he repeatedly ordered the left and right sencha, and added a thick cushion to Wei Zhuangming, and then sat down.

Wei Zhuangming rubbed the unsuccessful picture of the laurel tree, and carefully tasted it, "Your Royal Highness makes this osmanthus tree, the posture is magnificent, although the polish is slightly light, it is still flawed, and only in the land of cinnamon can you make such a jade and elegant cinnamon." ”

Yang Shaofang arched his hand and said modestly: "The student's pen power is still shallow, and he is really lucky to have the teacher's guidance." ”

After watching the Gui painting and tasting hot tea, Wei Zhuangming asked: "The old minister heard that Shen Xingjian is about to return to Beijing, and King Zhao has sent a general to meet him on the ancient road, does His Highness know?" ”

"The student knew about this, and Shiro sent Hao Guangxi to the ancient road a few days earlier."

Wei Zhuangming bowed his hand from afar, "Your Majesty once wanted to seal Shen Xingjian as Jing Yuanhou when the spring hunt was completed.

And Shen Xingjian was already famous in Beijing in his early years, and he was famous for his talents, and now he has been the leader of the embroidered clothes in Dayong for five years, and he has gained a lot of secrets for my Daqi, which can be described as a great achievement. Now that he has successfully returned to Beijing, he must be an upstart in the court, not to mention that his father Shen Hongcai is in the middle of the book, this Shen family is like the sky, Your Highness should not miss the opportunity in vain! ”

Yang Shaofang laughed heartily.

Wei Zhuangming asked suspiciously, "Why is Your Highness laughing?" ”

Yang Shaofang drank tea to stabilize his mind, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, teacher, Shen Hongcai has already entered my East Palace during the spring hunt, since his father is here, not to mention that Shen Xingjian is also very smart, and he is a friend of the students, so he can naturally understand the truth, and there is no need to say more." ”

He paused and said, "The student dares to conclude that Shiro's wooing of Shen Xingjian will definitely be ineffective, and Shen Xingjian will come to the East Mansion to stop him." ”

Wei Zhuangming was relieved, "No wonder His Highness is as stable as Mount Tai, so it is!" ”

"I haven't seen the teacher for a long time, since the Chunfu case, the teacher has been sick in the house, and the spring hunt has not been there, how are you doing recently? Are you healed? ”

Wei Zhuang knew that Yang Shaofang was deliberately asking this, so he said calmly: "Where is the old minister's illness......

He was slightly stunned again, and changed his tone, "It is true that there are occasional infections, but the most serious is heart disease." ”

Yang Shaofang nodded and said with a smile: "The student heard that the teacher was indeed "slightly ill occasionally", but at that time, the student was still grounded in Dongfu and could not visit. ”

"Shen Hong has just entered the Eastern Mansion, and the old minister has just known the prescription." Wei Zhuangming said with a smile.

Yang Shaofang sighed: "That's good, I don't know what kind of news Brother Shen will bring when he returns to Beijing this time." ”

Wei Zhuangming calculated: "Jing Yuanhou is a false position. Although Shen Xingjian has been the leader of the embroidery minister for five years, His Majesty will never hand over the embroidery minister he relies on the most. Now that Shen Xingjian is highly accomplished and famous, he will definitely not be able to receive real power, so the old minister speculates that His Majesty may let Shen Xingjian serve in Taichang Taifu or the Five Pavilions. ”

Yang Shaofang took a sip of tea and thought about it, and responded: "The teacher is reasonable, Brother Shen is okay like this, but he can be idle and rich." ”

"Idle?" Wei Zhuangming stroked his beard and smiled, "Zhongshu Ling has entered the Eastern Mansion, can Jing Yuanhou stay out of the matter?" Your Highness is at ease this time, but you don't do it! Both father and son are wise and scheming, and with King Zhao to deal with them, I am afraid that King Zhao will not last a few rounds. ”

"It's a pity that we still have to consume national strength internally." Yang Shaofang sighed leisurely.

"It is also the right way to abandon before taking."

Hearing such familiar words, Yang Shaofang asked in surprise, "The teacher went to see Lord Shen?" ”

Wei Zhuangming also didn't understand what he meant, "The old minister hasn't been there yet." ”

"What the teacher just said is exactly the same as what Lord Shen said, and the hero sees the same thing." Yang Shaofang Shili said with a smile.

"Your Highness."

In fact, Yang Shaofang still has one thing hidden in his heart, which is inconvenient to inquire about and cannot be inquired about.

He really wanted to ask Wei Zhuangming, "Do you know about Wei Zhuangchong, the Duke of Fuguo, supporting King Zhao?" ”

But there is no way to put this sentence on the table, after all, Wei Zhuangchong is Wei Zhuangming's eldest brother, even if he asks, according to Wei Zhuangming's temperament, it will be hindered by etiquette or brotherhood, and if he answers against his will or is inconvenient to answer, he will cause trouble to himself.

But if you don't ask, you are still very troubled, because you don't know Wei Zhuangming's attitude, there are many things that you can't tell him in the future, and you can't discuss with him, which is inappropriate, but fortunately it's calm now, and there is still time to think.
