Speaking of which, why didn't Prince Yu attend the palace banquet?

He is the younger brother favored by the saint, prodigal and invisibly indulged in sensuality, unwilling to mess with government affairs, just watching the flowers.

often causes trouble, attracts courtiers to admonish, and even the emperor can't restrain him, which can be described as the ultimate favor.

But is that really the case? So why did he not have the heart of submission, and how did he kick the two princes to seize the throne?

Maybe it's all just superficial......

Ye Congwei condensed his eyebrows and guessed that with Prince Yu's arbitrary and reckless nature, it was common for him to refuse a palace banquet.

The point is that he came to this courtyard and walked with Tao Chi......

Ye Congwei pinched the embroidered handkerchief and narrowed his eyes, it was not that Tanhualang was once reused by the new emperor, but that he was in the same faction as Qi Su from the beginning.

yes, that makes sense.

Qi Su's means of snaring talents is also absolutely amazing, and at the moment he is just a notorious idle king, how to get the submission and loyalty of those people.

probably has this ability to be used by others, and they are all emperors and generals?

As soon as Ye Congwei thought that he had broken the 'tryst' between their monarchs and ministers, he was terrified.

What's even more worrying is that Qi Su has discovered her intentions for Tao Chi?

Finally, such a person appeared, and Ye Congwei was of course unwilling to give up.

She didn't dare to take risks, but she had to work hard to plan for her future.

Even as a woman, there is also a woman's way to exert all her strength, otherwise how to teach Ye Shuo with righteous words.

A little later, Ye Congwei was not in the mood to appreciate the fireworks, and when she returned to the Houfu Yuzhou Courtyard, she still had insomnia.

She is at war in her heart, and she is in a dilemma.

Before I met Tao Chi, I couldn't think of a way to save myself, but after meeting him, I thought of it.

But how?

If you make a private agreement with him for life and let him come to the Hou Mansion to propose marriage, won't it follow the same path as in the previous life?

Will the upright gentleman who abides by etiquette despise her because of this, and will he say this private relationship lightly one night in the future......

No, Tao Chi is not Du Jue, he may not.

However, this kind of thing can't be gambled, Ye Congwei didn't dare to take a chance and repeat the mistakes of the past.

She couldn't sleep, and she wanted to take advantage of this moonlit night to pray for the kindness of the old man under the moon and give her a good marriage.

……

Perhaps because of some thought, Ye Congwei had a dream, dreaming that the old man under the moon had appeared.

It's a pity that the god is not a kind white-bearded old man, but has a Qi Su face.

He was handsome and not smiling, pulling the red line: "Fancy my Tanhualang? What a guts. ”

Ye Congwei was taken aback, lest he hear any more words such as shamelessness, "You really took Tanhualang under your command early......

"What does it have to do with you?" Qi Su asked, "You said you wanted to set up an immortal tablet for me, but did you do it?" ”

Ye Congwei only remembered this, and he couldn't answer.

Qi Su was furious, and with an order, he tied her up with a red rope and sank to the bottom of the lake.

No! She must not be drowned!

Ye Congwei was so frightened that she woke up from her dream, only to realize that she was in a dream, a terrible nightmare.

It happened that Si Lan was lifting the bead curtain to tell her to get up, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw this: "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

"I ...... I am guilty of water in the five elements. Ye Congwei wiped his face.

****

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the scientific examination list has been released, and the whole city is waiting to see.

Like in the previous life, the eldest brother and the third brother were both admitted, although the ranking was not good, but for the Hou Mansion, it was still a happy event.

Double happiness is coming.

I have the heart to celebrate but I don't dare to celebrate, after all, it's only the first battle, and the next two are the key, so it's important to concentrate on preparing for the exam.

As soon as Ye Congwei paid attention, he heard Tao Chi's name, and he was indeed one of the top three.

She was happy for him, and anxious for herself.

She knew Tao Chi, but the other party had never heard of her.

In any case, we have to know each other before there is a possibility of follow-up.

Ye Congwei had to think about it for a long time, looking in his mind for the occasions where Tao Chi had appeared.

Pregnant......

In the cold winter of Layue, Meilin in the mountain temple, the lord of Qingning County asked for the two exams in the house, and on that day, Ye Congwei vaguely heard Tao Chi's name.

Although I didn't see anyone in my previous life, I knew that he appeared in the mountain temple that day, and that was enough.

The Merlin there is quite famous, and I think many literati and artists like to go there to enjoy the scenery.

Ye Congwei had a plan in her heart, and couldn't help but look forward to the first snow coming soon.

After a free afternoon, she took Si Mei to look through her small storeroom.

Si Mei was puzzled: "What is the girl looking for?" ”

Ye Congwei asked: "At the beginning of the year, the old lady gave a piece of white fox skin, can it be used?" ”

It was a fine fur, white and fluffy, and very beautiful.

"I'll take it, and I'll get it for you." Si Mei knew the place and quickly turned it out for her.

Ye Congwei raised his hand and touched it, it was smooth and soft, and said, "Use it to make me a fur collar cloak, I want it to be snow-colored." ”

"Okay." Si Mei nodded in response.

I listened to her instructions to make a set of winter clothes out of red fabric, and I couldn't help but be stunned, "Doesn't the girl love red?" ”

Si Mei felt that there was no one more suitable for Da Hong than her girl, and a fair-skinned person could lower such bright colors and make them whiter, more tender and coquettish.

It's a pity that Ye Congwei didn't wear it in the past, but today I don't know how to remember it.

"Pair it with this cloak." Ye Congwei explained.

Since you have chosen a plain coat, you have to put on a bright dress, so as not to lose the color in the snow.

"That makes sense," Si Mei thought so, and said with a smile: "I'll do it!" ”

These two costumes had to be transferred from Ye Congwei's small treasury, and she rarely had the idea of dressing up, which made Si Mei happy.

At this time, it is necessary to rush the production and complete it before the heavy snowfall.

Ye Congwei's move was naturally for Tao Chi.

The opportunity to meet is extremely rare, and it is important to make his eyes shine and let him remember her face and her name.

As for the after...... You can only take one step at a time.

****

In winter, it only takes one night.

There was a rain in late autumn, the cold wind rose at night, and it was cold in the morning, and the grass and trees in the yard that could not withstand the cold were already bald.

The people in the various courtyards of the Hou Mansion were busy, and although they were not needed for the time being, they had to be taken out and scrubbed clean for future use.

Si Lan Simei took advantage of the good sun at noon to move the mattress out and turn it over, "It only rained yesterday, and today the sun is big, and it is ......still cold."

"It's not too cold, it's still early to snow." Ye Congwei sat under the porch with embroidery tools, planning to embroider a purse for Ye Shuo.

During this period of time, Ye Shuo was not as naughty as before, he was much more restrained, and he did his homework seriously.

The purse should be encouraged, let him continue to maintain.

Si Mei turned her head and smiled: "The girl has been talking about snow several times. ”

"Nonsense." Ye Congwei didn't wait, on the contrary, she hoped that time would slow down a little.

As the days go by, next year will soon come.

Si Mei and Si Lan glanced at each other, smiled and stopped talking.

Hope or not, what should come will come.

When the first snow fell, Ye Congwei's fox collar cloak and red winter skirt were completed, and Si Lan came in with them and put them on for her.

"The waistband is an inch wider." Silan gestured.

"It's out of the way, just add a lining." Si Mei thought it looked very good.

As she thought, the girl is indeed suitable for Zhenghong.

It is extremely rare to wear a clean feeling, not simply showy.

They were happy, and Ye Congwei was satisfied with it herself, but ...... Go to the temple to offer incense, this set may be too ostentatious.

Sure enough, on the day when the Buddha was set, before leaving, the county lord of Qingning swept Ye Congwei's eyes and couldn't help but say a few words to her.

Ye Congwei lowered his eyes and listened to the training, and did not defend anything.

On the carriage, Ye Congzhi's eyes were the same as those of the county lord of Qingning.

She said coldly: "Hongmei is cold, do you want to wear this to compete with it?" ”

"Don't dare," Ye Congwei smiled: "I just thought it was rare to go out to enjoy the scenery, so I picked what I liked." ”

On weekdays, she doesn't fight or grab, everything is low-key, but today she has a plan, and she can't do it.

"What view?" Ye Congfei, who was opposite, raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't this trip for the sake of the eldest brother and third brother's smooth examination room?" ”

"The two are not in conflict." Ye Congwei replied lightly.

Ye Congfei sneered lightly, in the end, he is not the brother of a mother's compatriot, this heart is different.

Ye Congwei didn't pay much attention to her, since the grounding was released, the fourth sister's hostility towards her has not been hidden.

The elders did not dare to be presumptuous, but now there are only a few sisters in the carriage, but there is no reservation.

Ye Congzhi is the eldest daughter, sitting facing the entrance of the carriage, Ye Congfei on the left, Ye Congwei and Ye Conghui on the right, Jing Wei is distinct.

After getting out of the car, the taciturn Ye Conghui suddenly said to Ye Congwei: "If you are out of the house, you have to be told that you even wear a red dress, and you are not as comfortable as a small jasper." ”

Ye Congwei didn't expect her to say this to herself, so she shook her head slightly and said, "Sixth sister, what she said is not right. ”

"It's really not right," Ye Conghui said in a low voice: "The fifth sister is also a concubine, unlike me, ......"

"Miss Houfu, why can't you wear red? It's up to you to think about it. Ye Congwei interrupted her.

But a piece of clothing, why not.

Ye Conghui was raised by her aunt, and the second lady and Ye Congfei suppressed them a lot.

According to the rules, it is true that the aunt can't be red, but Ye Conghui is a young lady, a serious master, and the aunt of half the master is different.

Ye Congwei said that, no longer said anything to her, and quickly followed the people in front of her.

Today, all the ladies of the Hou Mansion are dispatched, and the eldest brother and the third brother concentrate on studying, and the escort is the little boy Ye Shuo on horseback.

Although he was only eight years old, he longed for heroism in his heart, and he had already learned to ride a horse by himself.

The second lady persuaded her a few times and couldn't stop it, so she simply let him go, and could only tell the little maids to watch it closely.

Moving forward with the carriage, Ye Shuo walked with his head, he couldn't run the horse quickly, and there was no danger.

Until they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the group got off the carriage and horses, climbed the steps, and walked into the temple.

Qingquan Temple is located in the suburbs of Beijing, covering a vast area, and the backyard is planted with several hilltop plum forests, which are beautiful in the cold winter.

It is full of incense, has many monks, and also takes in many poor students.

Autumn has just passed, and many students have not yet left Beijing, and it will be lively here until March next year.

Ye Congwei looked up at the snow on the side of the mountain, guessing that it was because of this reason that Tao Chi appeared here?
