On the mat next to him, Han Xing couldn't bear to stand up, and whispered to Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou: "Cousin Scarlet, Cousin You, it's really boring here." ”

She looked around and pouted.

These people are not all moaning without illness, singing the wind and bones of Mei for a while, reminiscing about Aimei everyone in the past and present, and chanting poetry for a while.

Duanmu Fei and Li Tingyou thought so, and then stood up as well.

And Feng Yan has always been a woman singing with her husband, and followed Duanmu Fei without saying a word, like a shadow.

The four of them quietly walked towards the red plum forest on the other side.

Duanmu tiptoed, but before she took a step, she saw Cen Yin who was a foot away turning her head to look at her, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air for a moment.

Duanmu reflexively smiled flatteringly at Cen Yin, stretched out his index finger and pressed it on Sakura's lips, making a "shhh" finger, smiling obediently and cutely, that look seemed to say, bothering Cen Gongzi to cover for them.

Cen Yin was amused in his heart, and the corners of his lips couldn't help curling, and he drank tea with a soft expression.

At this time, the two little chamberlains hurriedly came back with a small red clay stove and tea set from the carriage, only to find that Duanmu Fei had already followed Han Xing and Feng Yan away, and his shoulders collapsed in an instant.

If you want to please the four girls, why is it so difficult!

A long sigh disappeared into the icy cold wind.

Duanmu Fei didn't pay attention to the two attendants at all, and happily took Han Xing towards Hongmerin.

In this large plum forest, there are not only those literati students sitting on the ground, but also men, women and children who stroll in the forest to enjoy the plum blossoms.

Today is the first sunny day after the snow, from the plum forest on the shore of the lake to the surroundings, the plum forest, the small bridge, the long causeway, the white tower up and down are all a piece of pink makeup and jade, the white remnant snow is crystal clear and cold, exuding a kind of ethereal beauty of the world's independence.

Many people stopped and stood, and a girl in the back exclaimed with emotion: "The snow scene of Shangqing Lake really deserves its name, I don't know how beautiful the broken bridge and remnant snow of this West Lake are." ”

Hearing the West Lake, Han Xing's heart moved, he thought of Lingyin Temple, and sighed: "Cousin Scarlet, I don't know if I can go to Lingyin Temple this time, when I came to Jiangnan last time, I was going to Lingyin Temple, but I happened to have a cold that day, and I didn't go, I thought I could go this time......

As she spoke, as soon as she turned her head, the veil on her face fluttered, and when the wind blew, the veil flew, and the plum branches swayed, and the corner of the veil was hooked by the branches.

Han Xing impatiently raised his hand and pulled the veil, the veil pulled the branches, causing the branches to shake, sprinkling pieces of crystal snowflakes and rattling......

Han Xing pulled twice in a row, but he didn't untie the veil, and the abnormal movement here also attracted curious eyes from the surrounding tourists.

Seeing this, Li Tingyou strode towards Han Xing, and was about to raise his hand to solve it for her, when he saw Han Xing one step ahead of him, he took off the veil on his face very impatiently.

"It's a nuisance." She complained coquettishly.

The pink veil hung from the air on the branches, and when the wind blew, it fluttered wantonly with the wind, and the corner of the veil brushed on the girl's delicate jade cheeks, adding a touch of softness and mystery.

Hanxing's appearance is five or six points like Duanmu Guifei, and the appearance of the girl who is about to reach Xuan has not fully grown, not as gorgeous as her mother, but she has the youth and vigor that the concubine does not have, just like a red rose blooming beautifully, delicate and dazzling.

This kind of beauty is different from the subtle and graceful Jiangnan women, and it is full of vitality, and it stands out among the women wearing hats around her.

Many people looked at her in a daze, with a little surprise and two interest in their eyes.

This girl is not a Jiangnan woman at first glance.

Han Xing is a princess, she has lived in the eyes of everyone since she was a child, she has long been used to being looked at, she has no idea, and continued: "This veil is really troublesome, it is inconvenient to drink tea and eat snacks, but it is still so comfortable." ”

Her exhaled breath turned into a clear white breath in the cold air.

Duanmu Fei nodded first, and then shook his head, as Han Xing said, it was inconvenient to wear a veil, but-

"The veil is so good at keeping the wind out."

The cold wind in the south of the Yangtze River is even colder than the capital, blowing on the face like a knife.

Looking at Duanmu Fei's look of wanting to shrink into the cloak, Han Xing couldn't help but smile, and his little face looked bright, more delicate than the red plums on the branches.

Li Tingyou looked at her and was stunned for a moment.

He quickly came back to his senses, and felt that there seemed to be a lot more eyes around him looking this way, and raised his hand to silently untie the veil that was entangled in the plum branches.

"Cousin Scarlet, why are you so afraid of the cold?" Han Xing raised his hand and nodded his nose behind the Duanmu veil, teasing her, "Cousin Mingjun is not afraid of cold ...... at all"

"Of course, it's because ......," Duanmu said mysteriously, pausing deliberately.

As he spoke, Feng Yan quietly moved a step to the right, blocking the northwest wind behind Duanmufei, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and he said in his heart: Ah Ci is also afraid of the cold.

In Han Xing's curious gaze, Duanmu raised his right hand and put his palm in front of Han Xing, "Look at my palmistry, the skin in my palm is ruddy, tender and full, especially the plump bulge of Mercury Hill, which shows that I am a delicate life." ”

"A person who is delicate and precious has been pampered by his parents and family since he was a child, and he will also have noble people to help him when he grows up...... All in all, it's good luck. ”

Duanmu Fei said smugly, half-truth, Feng Yan nodded frequently on the side, of course his Zhen Zhen is a delicate life.

Han Xing heard Duanmu Fei say that she was a delicate life, and was amused, and smiled even more cheerfully, "Cousin Scarlet, you can still read palmistry!" ”

She was about to say that Duanmu Fei would help her also look at her palmistry, when a pink veil suddenly came to her, and a small and delicate red plum was embroidered on the corner of the veil.

She subconsciously took the veil and said casually: "Thank you, cousin." ”

Han Xing originally planned to stuff the veil into his sleeve pocket, but under Li Tingyou's bright eyes, he couldn't help but put it back on his face.

Well, you can't let Cousin Yu pick it up for her, right! She thought sweetly and smiled at Li Tingyou.

At this time, the little chamberlain dressed as a small servant came in a hurry, arched his hand to several masters with a smile, and said, "Four...... Girl, Feng Gongzi, Duanmu four girls, the master is looking for a few. ”

Hanxing and Duanmu stuck out their tongues at each other, playful and cute.

Since the "sneak" was discovered, they obediently followed the little waiter back to Bai Meilin's side, strolling leisurely, admiring the plum blossoms and talking at the same time.

As soon as they walked to the entrance of Bai Meilin, they found that the emperor's side was very lively, and several mats were added around it, and four or five students were surrounded by the emperor.

Duanmu Fei glanced at it casually, and his eyes fell on one of the people wearing a bamboo blue straight jacket, and moved his eyebrows.

This man looked familiar......

Duanmu Fei subconsciously glanced at Feng Yan, both of them still recognized this person, is this the Juzi Zeng Yuanjie they saw in Yanguang Teahouse?!

Zeng Yuanjie was talking to the emperor with a lot of words, although Duanmufei couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but from the emperor's smiling expression, it could be seen that they should have a good conversation.

Duanmufei and his party gradually approached, and a few words vaguely floated over with the wind:

"Dasheng for a hundred years, flourishing in Longzhi, outside Yiyan, internal meritorious work ......"

"Admire the emperor's heroic talent, the merit of Zhongxing, and the merit of a hundred emperors."

Speaking of which, it's really boring to talk about this kind of old-fashioned talk again. Duanmu yawned boredly.

The two little chamberlains who took the red clay stove saw that Duanmu Fei was back, and they were happy, one of them skillfully began to add charcoal to the stove, and the other person diligently wiped the mat for Duanmu Fei, and asked, "Fourth girl, what tea do you want to drink?" ”

Han Xing thought that the "four girls" were called herself, so she replied casually: "Longjing." ”

The little waiter froze for a moment, and couldn't refute the fourth princess, so he could only ask Duanmu again: "Duanmu fourth girl, what about you?" He looked at Duanmu Fei very eagerly.

Longjing is also good. Duanmu Fei also replied casually: "Longjing".

A zhang away, Zeng Yuanjie was still talking and praising the prosperity of the times, and the whole person seemed to be in high spirits.

"I have the rule of Hongwu first, and then there is the prosperity of Xuanlong, which can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented." Suddenly, he changed his words and pointed his head at Cen Yin, "Xiao Sheng has long heard that Cen Gongzi is a 'pillar of the country', and he is full of wealth, I don't know if Cen Gongzi thinks Mu Jianduo is a hero or a criminal?" ”

Speaking of "Mu Jianduo", there was a moment of silence around him.

Whether it is local officials such as Governor Yingtian, or a few students, they all know that Zeng Yuanjie is not good.

In the history of Dasheng, Mu Jianduo is a controversial figure.

He is the brother of Emperor Taizu, after Emperor Taizu died of a sudden illness, he once assisted Emperor Taizong, who was only eight years old at the time, to ascend the throne, consolidate the Dasheng country, and also led the army to conquer the southwest region for Dasheng, helping Emperor Dazu to unify the Central Plains of China.

At that time, Mu Jianduo was named the regent, which can be said to be under one person, above ten thousand, powerful and powerful, and everything in the court and the central government needs to ask the regent before deciding, and even moved the seal of Emperor Taizong to his prince's palace for collection.

Mu Jianduo's glory lasted until the tenth year of Hongwu, when he was attacked by wild beasts while riding an autumn hunt, and his mount was irritated, and he threw him off his horse, broke his cervical vertebrae, and died on the spot.

Mu saw Duo Xu, and when he was only confused, Emperor Taizong ordered him to be buried and enjoy the Taimiao.

Within a few years, Mu Jianduo's political enemies exposed dozens of crimes of rebellion during his lifetime, and Emperor Taizong therefore pursued all the canons of Mu Jianduo, seized his title, confiscated his family business, punished his henchmen, and even destroyed the tomb and exhumed the body.

Although Mu Jianduo was once beautiful during his lifetime, but after his death, he fell into the dust and was criticized, and Emperor Taizong finally achieved the rule of Hongwu and was praised by the world.

"But Wen Cen Gongzi is high!"

Zeng Yuanjie smiled and arched his hand to Cen Yin, with a high taste in his eyes.

Now that the eunuchs in the court are in charge, intending to bewitch the emperor, he has long thought that when the title of the gold list is named in the future, he will clear the monarch's side, be the court, and show his strength in the court, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon!

The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry on the side quickly exchanged a speechless look with each other, this Zeng Yuanjie is really an ignorant and fearless, and he dared to provoke Cen Yin under the pretense of Mu Jianduo.

Historically, Mu Jianduo's death was too sudden and bizarre, and many people secretly speculated that his death may have been secretly planned by Emperor Taizong.

Zeng Yuanjie is clearly implying that Cen Yin will not die well like Mu Jianduo in the future, and he will be stinking for 10,000 years!

As for those brocade guards and chamberlains, they looked at Zeng Yuanjie with a kind of eyes that looked at the dead. This is reading a book and reading stupidly, right?!

Compared with Zeng Yuanjie's sharpness, Cen Yin seemed light and light, holding a glass of plum blossom wine, casually drinking the plum blossom wine in the cup, elegant as a noble son.

Cen Yin is speechless, right? Zeng Yuanjie was secretly proud in his heart, and his chin was slightly raised.

Wen Yongju looked at Cen Yin and Zeng Yuanjie back and forth, and secretly applauded Zeng Yuanjie in his heart.

This is an opportunity, the emperor happened to like these Jiangnan students recently, and it was just right for them to provoke Cen Yin as the first bird.

The corners of Wen Yongju's lips hooked slightly, and he deliberately reprimanded Zeng Yuanjie: "Zeng Gongzi, are you asking for advice or questioning?" Please ask for advice and express your heart directly, and then ask Cen Gongzi to give advice. If this is a question...... You can't afford to do the following here! ”

Wen Yongju's words are also meaningful, and it sounds like he is reprimanding Zeng Yuanjie, but in fact, there is a faint hint of provocation.

The surrounding atmosphere was slightly tense, and several students who were traveling with Zeng Yuanjie quietly looked at the emperor's face, and saw that the emperor drank tea by himself, and had no intention of objecting, and they all applauded Zeng Yuanjie in their hearts.

A traitor like Cen Yin should expose his true face in front of the emperor.

At this time, the water in the kettle was boiling slightly, the water waves were churning, the hot water was already boiling, and the little waiter who watched the stove hurriedly lifted the kettle to make tea for Duanmu Fei and others.

Duanmu squinted and smelled the fragrance of tea, and didn't look at Cen Yin's side.

One is an eagle, the other is an insect on the ground, there is no comparison at all, let the eagle catch the worm, isn't this an insult to the eagle?!

"Of course, Xiaosheng is asking for advice." Zeng Yuanjie smiled generously and talked eloquently, "When Mu Jianduo was alive, he exercised power on behalf of the Son of Heaven, was authoritarian, arbitrarily deposed, the party was the same and disagreeing, and the arrogance was unreasonable, and his crimes cannot be enumerated. ”

Zeng Yuanjie is counting Mu Jianduo's crimes, which is clearly alluding to Cen Yin.

The third prince, Mu Youjing, looked at Zeng Yuanjie with a smile and sat on the wall to watch.

He originally thought that Zeng Yuanjie would have something to do in the future, but now that he looks at it, I'm afraid it's hard to say. He is just a person, so he dares to challenge Cen Yin, which is really beyond his strength.

"What does Lord Cen think?" Zeng Yuan looked at Cen Yin provocatively, he wanted to see how Cen Yin would respond.

Cen Yin slowly played with the small wine glass in his hand, and asked lightly: "Zeng Juren, do you think the merits and demerits can be offset?" ”

"I can't." Zeng Yuanjie replied without hesitation, "If the merits and demerits can be compensated, then the heroes can do whatever they want!" ”

Cen Yin smiled slightly, "The merit can't be overcome, and vice versa." ”

Cen Yin looked at the emperor, clasped his fists at the emperor and said, "What does the master think?" ”

The emperor's heart moved, and he silently chewed Cen Yin's words, and the merit could not be overcome, and vice versa.

In other words, mistakes cannot cover up a person's merits.

The emperor's eyes lit up little by little, and even if the emperor hadn't spoken yet, everyone else present could clearly feel that the emperor agreed with Cen Yin.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry all sighed secretly in their hearts: Sure enough!

Since three years ago, the Qianyayuan Palace changed, Cen Yin borrowed troops in time to come back to relieve the danger of forcing the palace, in recent years, the emperor's favor to Cen Yin has reached an almost blind point. And Cen Yin can also touch the emperor's mind, and speak to the emperor's heart.

This Zeng Yuanjie offended Cen Yin today, and it was completely ruined.

The emperor was immersed in his own thoughts, not paying attention to the others, he only felt that the depression in his heart for a period of time was suddenly swept away.

Yes, it was he who made a little mistake in forcing the palace to seize the throne back then, and he worked hard to govern the country over the years to build this prosperous world, and no one can deny his merits!

"Good!" The emperor couldn't help but raise his hand and stroke his palm again and again, and the dragon's heart was happy, "Ah Yin, what you said is good!" ”

Or Ah Yin speaks and does things the most and his heart.

When Zeng Yuanjie heard this, his face changed suddenly, and his ears thundered. How so?!

Cen Yin never looked at Zeng Yuanjie again, as if he didn't exist at all. He hooked his lips and smiled again, and arched his hand at the emperor generously, "The master has won the award." ”

"Zeng Yuanjie," the emperor looked at Zeng Yuanjie again, his expression became very cold, and he said lightly, "You are not a seven-year-old naughty boy anymore, I will give you a word today, this world is not black and white." ”

Today's trip, the emperor is traveling in micro-service, and he has always called himself "I", and this is the first time he has called himself "I", which shows his displeasure.

"......" Zeng Yuanjie's lips were pursed, and his face was pale.

He originally wanted to use this topic to wake up the emperor, let the emperor realize that these eunuchs are all people who don't know how to learn and can only play with power, and also let the emperor see his own talents, and let the emperor know that he is a pillar of talent, and he is more worthy of reuse than these eunuchs.

Unexpectedly, it backfired, and it turned out to be him the one who made a fool!

The emperor is clearly on Cen Yin's side, what else can he say, what else can he refute?!

Zeng Yuanjie only felt that the gazes of the other people around him shot into his face like sharp arrows, making him feel a pain in his face, and his fists clenched tightly.

It was the first time he had suffered such a humiliation!

Zeng Yuanjie has been smooth sailing since he was a child, he was called a prodigy in his hometown, he was a talent at the age of fifteen, and he was promoted the next year, in recent years, he was in Songfeng Academy and even Gusu City, and everyone called him "the first genius of Gusu".

Since the emperor came to Gusu City on his southern tour, he has been out of the limelight, and the emperor has been quite fond of him, and has called him to Canghailin again and again to speak, and even several gentlemen in the academy have been respectful to him.

To this day, Cen Yin slapped him heavily in the face in public, and several of his classmates also saw the joke.

This Cen Yin is just a caster who has no roots, and he still intends to palm the court, is there still a lot of people like this in the history books?!

It is that the emperor favors him for a while, and when the emperor comes to his senses in the future, he will punish this traitor, and Cen Yin will only be scolded by eternity in the future!

He, a eunuch, how dare he humiliate himself so much!!

Zeng Yuanjie's face was blue and white for a while, and it took a while for his face to calm down, but his eyes were deep and gloomy.

He held the white porcelain teacup in front of him and said to Cen Yin who was a few steps away: "Cen ...... Childe, Xiaosheng toasts you! ”

As he spoke, he stood up, respectfully presented the teacup to Cen Yin with both hands, suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and planned to take the opportunity to spill the tea on Cen Yin in order to win back the game.

However, he had only taken a step forward when a middle-aged waiter quickly blocked him and prevented him from moving forward.

"Zeng Gongzi, people are noble and self-aware, and this tea is not something that anyone can respect!" The middle-aged waiter said with a smile.

"......" Zeng Yuanjie seemed to have been slapped in public again, and his face became even more ugly.

Just now, he also gave tea to the emperor, and after the emperor responded with his head, the tea was presented to the waiter, because the other party was the emperor, and he took it for granted.

What does this chamberlain mean is that he is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't even have the right to give tea to a eunuch?!

Zeng Yuanjie squeezed the teacup in his hand tightly, almost crushing it, and sighed in his heart:

Ay.

The emperor is a generation of famous monarchs, who built this prosperous country, but there were eunuchs and ministers in the court, and the court was in trouble.

My generation of students, since the heart of the country, and the traitor, although now it is a cloud, but one day the haze will be gone, otherwise the pole Tailai!

There was silence all around, and the atmosphere was silent.

Governor Yingtian and Governor Meng on the side also felt that Cen Yin was arrogant and domineering, and secretly looked at the faces of the two Shangshu, and saw that they were all drinking tea silently, and they also knew it.

They are far away in the south of the Yangtze River, and they have also heard of Cen Yin's prestige, and now it seems that perhaps the rumors are not exaggerated...... Cen Yin is gaining power.

Wen Jingzhi's heart was also embarrassed.

He hasn't been in Beijing for several years, and the last time he went to Beijing to report on his work, he only heard the name of Cen Zhenxing.

Thinking about it, Wen Jingzhi couldn't help but look at Duanmu Fei on the side, Duanmu Fei was talking to Han Xing, and he also inserted a red plum to Han Xing's sideburns, and the two little girls laughed as they talked.

Wen Jingzhi remembered what his daughter Wen Yongdie told him, this Duanmu Fourth Girl was not only a girl from the Shoufu family, but also Cen Yin's righteous sister, which was quite valued by Cen Yin, so that the Jinyi guards and the chamberlains all looked at her differently.

"Rustling ......"

At this moment, a cold wind blew, and the remnants of snow on the branches fell one after another, and before you knew it, the wind seemed to become stronger, and the air became colder.

The emperor also felt a little cold, so he casually dusted off the snow on his robe and said, "Is there any other place to visit around here?" ”

Before Governor Meng could answer, Han Xing proposed in a coquettish voice: "Father, I just enjoyed the snow on the side of Hongmeilin, where the snow scene is good, and there are small bridges, embankments, and white towers along the lake......

Looking at the little girl's radiant appearance, the emperor couldn't help laughing, and the index finger of his right hand pointed at Han Xing's nose and shook it, "You girl, you just can't sit still, you want to go out to play all day long." ”

The emperor seemed to be reprimanding Han Xing, but the smiling tone sounded like a father's doting on his daughter.

Han Xing raised his chin, he didn't feel embarrassed at all, and his righteous appearance seemed to say, I just love to play!

"You girl." The Emperor shook his head helplessly, and burst into laughter again.

Shu Yun watched from the sidelines, and the cherry lips were tightly pursed together behind the veil.

She didn't understand why her father looked at Hanxing's girl differently.

Just now she found out that Han Xing, Duanmu Fei, and Feng Yan were gone, and she felt that this was an opportunity, and her father didn't say anything, so Han Xing dared to slip away, which clearly didn't take her father in her eyes.

Therefore, when she used the emperor to praise the red plum forest, she pretended to say it inadvertently, and her father was really displeased with it, she was trying to fan the flames, but Cen Yin took the lead, Cen Yin coaxed his father in a few words, and made his father laugh at it.

A haze gradually appeared in Shu Yun's eyes, which was mixed with jealousy, unwillingness, and indignation. She got such a marriage, and according to her father's favor for Han Xing, she will definitely marry better than herself!

This time, the emperor had a good relationship with Shu Yun, and he was thinking about Han Xing's marriage, so when he looked at Han Xing and Li Tingyou, there was a point of banter and two points of favor in his eyes.

Li Tingyu is good.

The family background, talent, character and appearance are all good, and more importantly, it is rare that he can stand the squeamish and unreasonable temperament of his fourth daughter. Moreover, the concubine also thinks that Li Tingyou is good.
