Five years has only spent a few lonely spring and autumn periods for the people of the palace, but for Yangzhou, it has been earth-shaking changes. Now when it comes to Yangzhou, everyone is surprised. In just a few years, Yangzhou has risen from a backward wasteland to one of the top five capitals in the country. Almost all pharmacists will use Yangzhou as their first choice for medicine; The family and the rich and famous are proud to have a Yangzhou red sandalwood fan or a piece of Yangzhou purple jade, and even this has become a symbol for them to show off their wealth and status. Now there are such sayings in the market, 'With Yangzhou red sandalwood fan, gold and jade stand aside', which proves that Yangzhou is no longer what it used to be.

And all the people of Yangzhou will not forget the credit of one person, that is, the princess of Jinyang, Zongzheng Jin. Because of her arrival, she used her wisdom and wealth to lead Yangzhou on the road to wealth, so under the appeal of the people of Yangzhou, half a year ago the Jinyang Princess Mansion was expanded, occupying most of the Mingde Street, the two stone lions at the door are majestic, and the plaque engraved with the five big characters of "Jinyang Princess Mansion" is shining in the sun.

When Tang Qiming stood in front of the Zhu Gate and looked up, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a princess of Jinyang!" Today he had come to fulfill the five-year covenant, but apparently he had thrown in the towel. In the past five years, he has seen the changes in Yangzhou with his own eyes, and he has seen the indelible heroic spirit of Princess Jinyang, and he really admires her. Therefore, he was also relieved to let his son follow her, and now Tang Yi was the deputy commander of the Yangcheng County Army, and he was very pleased. Thinking like this, he walked towards the princess's mansion, he wanted to thank Princess Jinyang in person.

At this time, the floating heart pavilion in the princess's mansion was coming from the melodious sound of the guqin. The floating pavilion is located on the inner lake, surrounded by water, under the illumination of the sun, the lake is sparkling, the breeze is light, driving the yellow veil in the pavilion to dance with the wind, and the two figures of a white and a blue can be faintly seen inside, which is really Zong Zhengjin and Yi Chu.

Zong Zhengjin was concentrating on stroking the piano, his slender jade fingers gently scribbling the strings, and his beautiful face was so demure. Yi Chu sat opposite her, closing his eyes and listening intently to the sound of her piano.

When the song is over, the two open their eyes at the same time and look at each other. Zong Zhengjin had a trace of chagrin on his face, and muttered: "I always can't play well in the middle section, why is this?"

When Yi Chu heard this, he only smiled silently, suddenly stood up, walked to her and sat down, the unique scent of orchids on his body came to his face, Zong Zhenghao was inexplicably a little nervous, but Yi Chu's next actions made it even more difficult for her to calm down.

I saw his right hand pass through her waist and cover her right hand, and his left hand also grabbed her left hand and took her to stroke the piano together, Zong Zhengjin is now the whole person is encircled in Yi Chu's arms, she only feels that her whole body is stiff, and there is a man's breath all around, she seems to be able to hear Yi Chu's heartbeat, feeling the heat from Yi Chu's palm, Zong Zhengjin's face is suddenly covered with red glow.

But Yi Chu didn't seem to see it, his calm and magnetic voice sounded in her ears: "Follow me and feel my strength."

The exhaled breath sprayed at the base of her ear, making Zong Zhengjin's ears itch, and his heart jumped wildly. In the past, Yi Chu also taught her to write and draw, but that was before she was ten years old, and now she is thirteen years old, and she can stand up to Yi Chu's chin, and she will be an adult in two years, and she is already precocious than her peers, so she shouldn't be too intimate with a man. Although her name is Mr. Yi Chusheng, he is a personable young man, and if others see it, they will be misunderstood.

"Sir......" Zong Zhengjin just wanted to pull out his hand, but Yi Chu grabbed it tighter, and said in a slightly reproachful voice: "Concentrate." As soon as he reprimanded, Zong Zhengjin immediately didn't dare to move, thinking that he was practicing with his husband, and he shouldn't have thought about anything else, so he settled down and began to play with Yi Chu's rhythm.

The melodious sound of the piano came from the lake again, and as soon as the breeze passed, it blew the green silk of the two people, and the hair of the two was actually entwined together, dancing wantonly with the ups and downs of the piano sound.

At this time, the whole world seemed to be quiet, and only the two of them were stroking the piano together, and the water and the wind danced with them. This scene of the Floating Heart Pavilion is like a painting, and it is breathtakingly beautiful. So when Mo He saw this scene, she couldn't help but stop, looking at the two people in the pavilion with a shocked face, complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, she didn't step forward, she should have instinctively not wanted to disturb them.

It wasn't until the sound of the piano fell that Zhao Qing coughed lightly and stepped forward slowly. Yi Chu left Zong Zhengjin's side with an indifferent face, but after Zong Zhenghao saw Zhao Qing, his little face turned red inexplicably, as if she had just done something unseemly.

"I've seen the princess, Mr. Yi." Zhao Qing is slightly blessed, at the age of thirteen, she is becoming more and more delicate and lovely, a green gauze skirt makes her as elegant as a peony waiting to be opened, perhaps under the influence of Zong Zhengjin, her temperament is becoming more and more tranquil.

"What's the matter?" After sorting out the mood, the voice also returned to flat.

"Tang Qiming's seniors are here, saying that they want to see you."

Hearing that Tang Qiming was coming, Zong Zhengjin was a little stunned, but then he thought of her five-year appointment, turned his head to look at Yunchen, and said with a smile: "I think it's for the gambling contract, let's go and have a look."

Yi Chu nodded, and Zong Zhengjin raised his feet and walked in the direction of the main hall, followed by Zhao Qing. Yi Chu looked at Zong Zhengjin's back and was stunned for a long time, until he couldn't see her figure anymore, and then slowly walked towards the main hall.

Seeing the blue figure coming over, Tang Qiming hurriedly got up and saluted, "See Princess Jinyang."

Zong Zhengjin was slightly stunned, then personally helped him up, and said jokingly: "When did Senior Tang become so polite?"

When Tang Qiming heard this, he looked embarrassed and said: "In the past, the old man was short-sighted and looked down on the princess, and I hope the princess will not care."

"How can this princess be accountable? Back then, no one would value me as a powerless little girl, but now that it's all over, I don't know why Donald came here today?" Zong Zhengjin asked knowingly, Yi Chu drank tea silently on the side, and did not speak.

When Tang Qiming heard this, he immediately hugged his fists to Zong Zhengjin and said, "I made a five-year contract with the princess back then, and now it's time for me to fulfill my promise."

"Oh? So the seniors are admitting defeat?" Although she knew that this was the result, but hearing him say it with her own ears, Zong Zhengjin was still taken aback, in her opinion, Tang Qiming was not a person who easily admits defeat.

Tang Qiming looked serious, he said: "The old man has few people to admire in his life, but today Princess Jinyang has to let the old man admire, princess, you have such a mind and wisdom, the child Tang Yi can follow you, it is the blessing of her cultivation in her previous life, and the old man has nothing to say."

Seeing that his attitude was so sincere, Dongfang Hua smiled slightly, she finally won this old stubbornness. Turning his head to look at Yi Chu, he saw that his face was indifferent, as if he had expected this result a long time ago.

"Donald senior......" "Dad." Tang Yi, who ran in in the dust, interrupted what she wanted to say. Tang Qiming turned his head and saw the calm and newly trained son in front of him, full of joy and pride.

"Tang Yi see the princess, Mr. Yi." Tang Yi pressed the joy in his heart and saluted the two people on the main seat.

"Brother Tang must have a lot to say to Ling Zun, why don't you step back first and go back to the house to have a good chat." Zong Zhengjin saw his thoughts, so he let them go out first. Tang Yi threw a grateful glance at her, then pulled Tang Qiming to salute and retreat.

Looking at Tang Yi's resolute back, Zong Zhengjin couldn't help but admire: "Sir, your eyes are really good, this Brother Tang really has the talent of a general, and in time, he will be the pillar of Beicang."

Seeing her happy face, the corners of Yi Chu's mouth also rose slightly, and said, "He was accepted by you, and he must be used by you."

"Hmm." Zong Zhengjin nodded, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "I don't know how Lord Fang's injury is?" He was hurt by me, and if something goes wrong, I won't be at ease. Thinking of Fang Junen's assassination a few days ago, Zong Zhengjin's face was full of worry. Since Xu Shouzong was killed five years ago, this Xu family hated her so much that they sent several secret guards to assassinate her, the first few times she and Yi Chu were on guard, nothing major happened, but this time they were negligent, if it wasn't for Fang Junen blocking a knife for her, then she would be lying on the bed now.

Yi Chu frowned slightly, and comforted: "Don't worry, Master Fang is almost fine, he protects you, that is, he protects Yangzhou, there is no complaint in his heart, don't be uneasy," After thinking for a while, he said: "If you really want to comfort him, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in three months, it is better to let the Fang family come to the princess's mansion and we will spend the festival together."

As soon as he heard this proposal, Zong Zhengjin's eyes lit up instantly, and he said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I expect it, then this Mid-Autumn Festival, we have to prepare well."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Yi Chu's eyes were full of spoiling, he knew that she actually liked to be lively, but in the past few years, she had been suppressing herself. He saw it in his eyes, he couldn't bear it in his heart, looking at Zong Zhengjin's beautiful little face full of smiles, Yunchen felt that all that he had done was worth it.

The royal capital is the palace of Beicang

In the Longfu Palace, Zong Zhenghao buried his head in front of the dragon case, correcting one book after another, and wisps of green smoke rose from the incense burner on the side.

Suddenly, Gonggong Li hurriedly ran in and replied, "Your Majesty, there is a letter from Yangzhou."

"Yangzhou? Quick, bring it up. As soon as he heard the word Yangzhou, Zong Zhenghao hurriedly raised his head and took the letter, he opened it and read it, and his face was immediately full of smiles.

In the past five years, he has seen Ah Jin support Yangzhou step by step, for this daughter, he loves it from the bottom of his heart, and her wisdom and strength also make him have to pay attention to her. Before, he had thought about taking her back to the palace, but Na Yi Chu said that the time had not come, so he had to give up. The letter said that everything was fine in Yangzhou, and Ah Jin was also fine, so he was relieved.

"By the way, is it the Mid-Autumn Festival in three months?" Zong Zhenghao suddenly asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Gonggong Li had some doubts in his heart, this emperor could have kept these festivals in mind before, what is wrong now.

After thinking for a moment, Zong Zhengjin ordered: "Go, call the five princes over."

"Yes." Gonggong Li retreated, and hurriedly ordered someone to call the five princes over.

After a while, a handsome young man wearing a blue hundred butterfly cloud brocade robe walked in, and his handsome face was like a hanging child at this time, and he didn't salute when he entered the house, he just found a seat and sat down, and didn't forget to say hello: "Father, what is the matter with looking for a son?"

"Look at you, like a prince?" As soon as he saw Zong Zhengmin, Zong Zhenghao was angry and didn't fight anywhere, he only had two sons, although the eldest son Zong Zhengjing was both civil and military, but his mind was vicious, and he was still the son of Concubine Xu, he didn't like it. Although this Zhengmin is smart, he doesn't need to be on the right path, and he has no intention of going to politics, and now his reliance is all on Ah Jin's body.

For his scolding, Zong Zhengmin didn't hear it, and still went his own way. Zong Zhenghao knew that he couldn't talk about him, so he changed the topic and said: "I came to you to discuss something with you, and it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in three months, and I want you to go to Yangzhou for me to give gifts to your second imperial sister, and by the way, accompany her for the holiday."

As soon as the words fell, Zong Zhengmin was adjusted from his seat with a "poof", with a look of disbelief, and said loudly: "What, I heard it right, you actually asked me to go to Yangzhou to find the imperial sister?" It's not that she didn't want to go to Yangzhou before, but her father sent people to follow him all day long, and he didn't let him out of the palace, but she didn't expect to take the initiative to call him this time, it was really the sun coming out in the west.

"What? If I don't want to go, then I'll change people. ”

"Hey, don't, I'll go, my father gave me such a huge task, I just have to complete it desperately." Zong Zhengmin's face was flattering, and there was excitement in his eyes that couldn't be hidden, he could finally go to see the imperial sister and Xiao Zhaoqing.

Zong Zhenghao was amused by his flattering appearance, and said, "Okay, then you will work hard to complete the task for me, go down and prepare first."

"The retainers obeyed." Zong Zhengmin rarely saluted him, and then happily jumped out of the Longfu Palace. Zong Zhenghao shook his head helplessly, among these children, only Ah Jin is the most popular with him!
