Before Zhao Ziqian left Tongzhou, he finally obtained Yi Xiangxiang's "forgiveness". Not only that, but he also coerced and enticed Yi Xiangxiang to make it clear that he would not stand on the side of other princes, which caused Yi Xiangxiang to be suspicious.

Why is Yi Xiangxiang suspicious? Because she didn't know that Zhao Ziqian already knew her identity as the master of Huanxi Pavilion, she was very puzzled by Zhao Ziqian's need for her little girl to express her position.

However, she had no idea of participating in the battle for the heir, so she naturally promised not to stand on the side of other princes without reluctance.

Of course, the meaning of her words also includes that she will not help Zhao Ziqian.

Zhao Ziqian naturally didn't mind, as long as Yi Xiangxiang didn't go against him. The reason why he took a lot of effort was that he felt that Yi Xiangxiang was really smart and difficult to entangle, and if he was an enemy, he would inevitably be in trouble. Second, Yi Luochuan is his savior after all, so it's better not to be right.

Zhao Ziqian left the Yi family and went north by boat, and Tongzhou really calmed down this time. Yi Xiangxiang has resumed the days of lying under the bed every day, and there are fewer classes in the school. The Lin family also turned a blind eye to this, and just spent all his thoughts on Huan Huanle, and only hoped that these two little ones would not be crooked.

Originally, this joy and joy was to come to Yongle Ju from time to time. Since being targeted by the Lin family, they have been learning the rules every day, and even the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting have taken turns! Yi Xiangxiang looked at the small arms and legs of her younger brothers and sisters, and was quite sympathetic.

So without Yi Xiangxiang, who was happy and funny by her side, she was even more idle. For this reason, she often complained to Yi Luochuan about her mother, saying that she was too strict with her children! And now her mother doesn't let her and her brother interfere in the joyful education, but it's clear that she and her brother are not crooked, why does her mother always look like they have been raised badly and will bring bad brothers and sisters!

Although Yi Luochuan felt that he should not complain about his mother, he also agreed with Yi Xiangxiang's dissatisfaction. This is really much more worry-free than other people's children, why does it make the mother feel heartbroken? Yi Luochuan was also puzzled by this.

In fact, the Lin family broke his heart because he had nothing to worry about! Yi Luochuan and Yi Xiangxiang are both precocious children, she is afraid that they will be too smart and have an accident, so she is more worried than ordinary people. The reason why she grabbed the joyful qin, chess, calligraphy and painting now is to cultivate their interest in these things, don't think like their brothers and sisters in the future, one is to be able to learn martial arts to study hard, and the other loves business.

Mother Liu, who was next to the Lin family, was helpless to see her wife like this, about the interests and hobbies of the Yi family brothers and sisters and the matter of being too independent, she also persuaded the Lin family to let her relax for more than ten years, but being a mother is like this, and she has to pick up some worries if she doesn't have to worry about it.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

Time flies, winter is getting deeper, and the house has successively lit charcoal basins to burn earth dragons. Yi Xiangxiang sat at the desk in the study and began to check the accounts of the Wuda firm, the New Year was approaching, and she should also prepare the rewards of the next person.

"The fourth brother has replied to the news, and he should be able to come back for the New Year this year." Yi Xiangxiang held the account book of the Kyoto Wuda firm in her hand, and naturally asked about Yi Hanxi.

She had sent a letter to Kyoto before, asking Yi Hanxi to return to Tongzhou for the New Year this year. In her words, money is endless!

Qing Xuan was wiping the lamps on the side, this study does not allow outsiders to enter on weekdays, and it is also done by a few of their personal maids such as cleaning. After hearing her young lady's question, she replied: "I was about to tell the young lady, but the fourth young master replied and said that he would not come back this year." Come back at the beginning of spring next year, just in time to be able to participate in the wedding banquet of the second and third young masters. ”

Yi Hanchen and Yi Luochuan's marriage is scheduled for the beginning of spring, and the time between the two wedding banquets is only ten days apart. The young and old are orderly, Yi Hanchen first married Miss Li Yanping of the Li family into the house, and then Yi Luochuan married Miss Jiang Jingshan of the Jiang family.

Yi Xiangxiang lowered her head and pondered for a while and said, "You send another urgent letter to tell him that Yi Ruonan will participate in the draft next year, and this year is the last reunion dinner for the mixed family of Yifu." ”

Qing Xuan knew what Yi Xiangxiang meant, so he opened the door of the study, and a figure appeared in the void and ordered the matter. There is some distance from Kyoto to Tongzhou, and at this time, the flying pigeon sent a message to the past, and Yi Hanxi over there had to hurry back when he received it, otherwise he would not be able to catch up with the time.

"Miss, I always feel as if someone is spying on us!" Qing Xuan closed the door after finishing the order, turned around and said to Yi Xiangxiang very abruptly.

She seemed to have just seen a shadow flashing, not like a trace of a bird, and that's why she said this.

"Oh? How? Yi Xiangxiang asked.

"If it's not my delusion, it means that the other party's light skills are extremely high, but I can't think of anyone in the rivers and lakes whose light skills are comparable to the twenty-four ghosts." Qing Xuan was puzzled, but he didn't make up his mind.

Yi Xiangxiang stretched out and sat in the circle chair, stretched her legs directly to the bookcase and said, "Maybe you are too sensitive, there are too many things these days, go back and take a good rest." But to be on the safe side, our important conversations will be arranged in the study in the future. ”

Qing Xuan nodded in agreement.

Huanxi Pavilion was officially born, with the gimmick of "as long as you give money, I will release the news", setting off a gust of wind on the rivers and lakes. In the early stage, many things were in the debugging stage, and Qingxuan was really running at both ends, so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Yi Xiangxiang felt that she might be tired and hallucinating, and she cautiously said that important things would be discussed in the study in the future, firstly, she put someone to guard the outside of the study, and secondly, the window screens in the study were specially made, and the sound insulation effect was very good.

Qing Xuan didn't know that there were people in the rivers and lakes who could be comparable to the twenty-four ghosts, but they ignored the problem that "the rivers and lakes do not have the palace".

So at this time, Yi Xiangxiang naturally didn't know that Zhao Ziqian's guy had sent someone to spy on her, and she was very happy when she was watching the accounts in the study at this time.

"Kyoto's income this year has increased by 20 percent compared to previous years! The fourth brother really didn't disappoint me, he is a good businessman! Kyoto has set a good example this year, doubling everyone's year-end bonus next year. Yi Xiangxiang happily looked at the amount on the account and said.

Yi Xiangxiang completely moved the set of modern learning, what year-end bonuses, performance appraisals, gambling agreements, PK competitions, etc...... As the boss, she had a lot of fun.

After hearing this, Qing Xuan said with a smile: "Miss's strategy of the year-end award has made everyone riveted to do things, and it has also allowed everyone to rely on their own ability to truly enrich themselves with food and clothing." ”

"That must! Blessed to share! Yi Xiangxiang smiled and began to flip through the account book.

Yi Xiangxiang and Qing Xuan in the study were talking, but the shadows on the trees outside were secretly sighing.

Shadow, the secret guard of the Seven Princes' Mansion.

Today it was his turn to spy on Yi Xiangxiang.

Qing Xuan's senses were not wrong, they were indeed being watched! However, Ying Sha and the others got Zhao Ziqian's orders, and they didn't dare to rely on the front. And just now I saw Yi Xiangxiang enter the study, and saw that the person named Qing Xuan summoned a master to tell things, so he wanted to lean forward and listen to what they said, but he was almost discovered.

He was a little afraid, although he didn't know what His Highness's idea was, but the task he got was to monitor Yi Xiangxiang's daily life, and he didn't need to listen to any secrets, so if such a simple task failed, he would definitely die.

However, he also found that this eighth lady of the Yi family is not simple, not only is there a master around her, but even the study has sent someone to secretly guard it. If they hadn't listened to their master's words before and were cautious, they would have been discovered a long time ago.

You'll have to be more careful in the future, Shadow thought to himself.

......

The first thing Zhao Ziqian did when he returned to Kyoto was to enter the palace to ask for guilt, after all, he left Kyoto without even saying a word. And he had been letting Glimpse pretend to be in the prince's mansion before, although he was sick and never went to court on his behalf, but if he was serious, the saint could cure him for dereliction of duty and also treat him for bullying the king.

Of course, the result is naturally uneventful! Zhao Ziqian admitted his mistake with a sincere attitude, and said very bluntly that he didn't like Kyoto's deception, so he wanted to go out to relax. Emperor Wen was surprised that his son was so straightforward, seeing him telling the truth so heartily, how could he bear to punish him again, because he didn't say anything except reprimanding Zhao Ziqian for being stubborn. Moreover, Emperor Wen also instructed Zhao Ziqian that if he still wanted to go out to play in the future, he should bring all his attendants, and he should also send a message to Kyoto at any time to report safety. Zhao Ziqian naturally said.

Many people in Kyoto were waiting for the Holy Lord to issue a decree to punish the Seventh Prince Zhao Ziqian, but they didn't expect that there was nothing but a scolding, and they also indirectly allowed the Seven Princes to leave Beijing at any time! This made everyone puzzled.

Others didn't understand it, but the parties were transparent, and Zhao Ziqian, as a gambler, naturally knew why.

Emperor Wen has been a saint for so long, whether it is a courtier or a son, he is only willing to say something wrong to him. But Zhao Ziqian came up and said that he didn't like the Eryu in Kyoto, so he wanted to go out to see the landscape, and he was so sincere that Emperor Wen felt that his son had nothing to say to his father, and this emotion made Emperor Wen feel love. is based on the fact that Zhao Ziqian sneaked out of Beijing, from a father's point of view, it is just a son who is playful. The son is not stingy, and the father's scolding is enough. It was Zhao Ziqian's private trip to Beijing that turned a big deal into a small matter, and a small matter turned into a small matter.

The reason why Zhao Ziqian is so honest is also inspired by Yi Xiangxiang's words, Yi Xiangxiang once said that no father wants his son to die by himself. Even if he is as high as his father, he will definitely want a son who respects the monarchy but does not fully regard him as a lord.

That's right, in addition to being a king, the current saint is also his father.

Zhao Ziqian made the right bet.

So he remembered Yi Xiangxiang again, and the secret guard sent news that she was either eating or sleeping for a while, and then caught Chef Chen in Xile Building every day to develop new food! Zhao Ziqian's mind immediately appeared that she was holding the pastry in one hand and the account book in the other, which was quite funny.

The little eunuch who led the way in front secretly turned around and found that the Seventh Highness, known as the "Shura Master", was actually laughing, and he muttered in his heart.

Zhao Ziqian was going to Concubine Rong's Chaoyang Palace at this time, and he was scolded by his father at the front, so he naturally got to let his mother scold him. Just as he thought, as soon as he arrived at Chaoyang Palace, he was severely reprimanded. Concubine Rong was naturally annoyed that he went out of Beijing without permission, and that's it, and said with great fanfare that she went out of Beijing to enjoy the landscape, but she was angry enough.

"You know what? Yan Guanshen, your folds are about to collapse the desk of the saint! Concubine Rong was wearing an orange palace dress, with a wide skirt behind her, elegant and luxurious. Her skin is like snow, her eyes are charming and vulgar, and there is an elegant and elegant charm flowing out between her expectations.

This is a rare beauty.

"Didn't my father suppress it?" Zhao Ziqian said indifferently, his facial features were six points similar to Concubine Rong, and his heroic spirit was full of charm.

Concubine Rong was also surprised by the saint's attitude towards this matter, so she frowned and asked, "Qian'er, what the hell is going on?" You didn't come when the concubine asked you to enter the palace three times a few days ago, and you weren't in Kyoto anymore, were you? What exactly do you do in Tongzhou? ”

Zhao Ziqian naturally couldn't explain the matter clearly in a few words, so he asked directly: "What is the matter with the concubine looking for her son?" ”

"I don't want to discuss with you about your concubine candidate, can you tell me if there is anything you like or something that is more eye-catching? Tell the mother concubine that the mother concubine will study it well in the rest of the time, and she will be able to leave the brand directly in next year's draft. Concubine Rong answered happily.

Hey, what's wrong?

"There is no agreement, the minister asked Kang Rui to make arrangements for this matter, and the mother concubine does not have to interfere deliberately." Zhao Ziqian said.

"But after all, it's better to be cautious when choosing a concubine! If you don't particularly like it, the mother thinks this Ling'er is good, she grew up with your childhood sweetheart, and she has long had affection for you, and her identity is also worthy of the position of the concubine. Rong Guifei looked at her son with blazing eyes and said.

The Ling'er she talked about was the daughter of the Yongxing Marquis Mansion, that is, Kang Rui's sister, Kang Ling.

Zhao Ziqian rejected Concubine Rong's proposal and said: "The position of the main concubine is reserved for another use, if the mother concubine has to let Kang Ling enter the palace, she can only be under the side concubine!" Mother, think about it, Kang Rui is now helping his sons consider the selection of concubines, and he didn't include his sister in the list, doesn't the mother concubine know why? ”

Concubine Rong naturally knew why, because the Yongxing Hou Mansion was her maiden home, so she didn't need to use marriage to win over. But her niece Ling'er begged for her in person, and she felt soft-hearted. But if her son has other considerations, she will not really hinder her son's path.

"The concubine knows what you mean, don't worry, the concubine won't interfere in this matter." Concubine Rong sighed as she spoke, but then she thought of something again, so she spoke again: "If Ling'er is willing to be a side concubine, you have to allow her to enter the mansion!" ”

Zhao Ziqian thought for a while and said, "Okay." If the concubine has nothing else to do, the son will retire. I have been away from Beijing for too long, and there are many affairs to be dealt with in the house. ”

Concubine Rong Guifei watched Zhao Ziqian finish speaking and was about to leave, and she couldn't take him. This son has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, but he is a stuffy gourd, and he can't talk to her as a mother. Seeing that Zhao Ziqian didn't want to talk more, she could only explain to him some nagging words about cold weather, and let people out of the palace.

It wasn't until the person left the palace gate that she remembered that she had not received a reply to her initial question.

After Zhao Ziqian returned to the Seven Princes' Mansion non-stop, Kang Rui came over to plead guilty as soon as possible. There were many intelligence mistakes about Kang Rui's trip to Tongzhou, but Zhao Ziqian didn't have time to do anything to punish him, but handed over the Rubik's Cube to Kang Rui and asked him to find someone to solve it as soon as possible.

"Is there any recent movement in Kyoto?" After explaining the Rubik's Cube, Zhao Ziqian asked about the recent situation in Kyoto.

Kang Rui held the strange square in his hand, and replied while observing: "These days, the second prince and the fourth prince are in contact with the Lin family, and after the fourth prince returned to Kyoto, he personally visited Master Lin. ”

"Heh, the fourth brother is also in a hurry if he doesn't get Qishan's things, and he doesn't pretend to be the one with a clear moon." Zhao Ziqian sat in front of the bookcase, took out a piece of rice paper and wrote and painted.

When Xiong Wei heard this, he muttered: "The Prime Minister's Mansion is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and everyone wants to win it over!" ”

What is the status of the prime minister, that is the existence of one person under ten thousand people in the court! Naturally, everyone wants to win over! Although there are no talented heirs in the Lin family now, Prime Minister Lin Chong is also a skillful person, and it is not a problem to support the Lin family at present. And the current head of the Lin family is still the former Taishi Lin Zhen, not to mention the deep-rooted strength of the Lin family itself, let's just say that the protégés of the Lin Taishi are all over the government and the opposition, if it blows, it will also be a strong wind.

Kang Rui put the things in his hand on the desk and said to Zhao Ziqian: "Your Highness, if you can talk to the old lady in person......

"No need, it's not the Lin family's turn to pick it up in this hall!" Before Kang Rui's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Ziqian.

Zhao Ziqian's pride Kang Rui knew it, and he had already thought of the answer before he brought up this topic. I saw Kang Rui bow his head and think about it for a while and said: "Then it is more suitable to leave the Guogong Mansion and the Hubu Shangshu, or the Military Ministry." It is rumored that Ye Man, the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, is peerless, but she is compatible with His Royal Highness! ”

Considering power, you also have to consider appearance and talent, Kang Rui explored all the school-age women in Kyoto for this concubine selection, and almost became a professional matchmaker.

Zhao Ziqian sketched on the rice paper, and he took Kang Rui's words and said: "If they are willing to be side concubines, you can pick two at will." As for the position of the concubine...... In this draft, the palace does not choose the concubine for the time being. ”

Kang Rui and Xiong Wei were very surprised when they heard this, why didn't they choose the concubine? Didn't you say that before going to Tongzhou, you would hand it over to Kang Rui to arrange? Their seven highnesses rarely made a decision and changed their minds, and it was with these words just now that Kang Rui and Xiong Wei looked at each other.

What's going on? Kang Rui asked Xiong Wei with his eyes.

How do I know what's going on! Xiong Wei replied to Kang Rui with his eyes.

You've been with Your Highness these days, and you don't know what's going on, who knows what's going on!

I'm ...... Even if I stay with His Highness, I don't know what's going on!

Kang Rui was speechless, with Xiong Wei's IQ against their Highness, he might not really know what was going on.

He pondered his words and said, "Side concubine? The position of the side concubine may not be able to attract them...... "These big forces are all coming for the concubine, if you don't give sweetness, how can people serve you!" But the rest of the words Kang Rui stopped.

"Then don't let them choose." Zhao Ziqian said indifferently, and left another stroke on the paper.

"But if the second prince and the fourth prince win them over, the strength of these two princes will definitely increase greatly!" Kang Rui wanted to come forward to see what Zhao Ziqian was writing and painting.

Zhao Ziqian looked up at Kang Rui, then shook his head and said: "It's okay, whether it is the Guogong Mansion or the two Shangshu, they are all humerus in the middle of the court, if the main hall deliberately woos them, their hearts will be clear." It's better not to get involved, anyway, these are all loyal courtiers to the Holy Lord, and it's impossible to say whether they will be co-opted, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable! ”

Well, it seems that Yi Xiangxiang likes to say that people's hearts are unpredictable, Zhao Ziqian thought about lowering his head and continued to wave.

Kang Rui naturally knew what his heart meant, he had already heard Cheng Xi say about his Royal Highness's plans, but what if he could help him, right? It's always a pity to let go like this. So he persuaded again: "Or let's talk to the Lin family again?" If the daughter of the Lin family is a concubine, it is also a promotion for Master Lin, and the saint probably will not have any doubts. ”

"The Lin family has always been obedient to the Holy Lord, and this participation in the selection of concubines may also be approved by the Holy Lord, I think this matter is feasible!" Xiong Wei on the side also seconded.

Xiong Wei also wanted to say that Lin Zhimeng of the Lin family is a rare beauty, and it is rumored that she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Of course, the reason why Xiong Wei didn't say this is because he knew that his master was a god who read a hundred poems at the age of three and wrote strategies at the age of seven! Naturally, I don't look down on the so-called qin, chess, calligraphy and painting of the Lin family.

"The daughter of the Lin family will not be willing to be a side concubine, there is no need to discuss this matter!" Zhao Ziqian said.

Kang Rui was speechless, I'm talking about the concubine, friend, of course you don't do it to the side concubine! Well? No, His Royal Highness doesn't mean that he is afraid of being suspected of forming a gang by the saint, but that he must vacate the position of the concubine?

"But the saint made it clear that next year for the princes to choose draft girls to enter the prince's mansion, if we don't make arrangements early, I'm afraid ...... "I'm afraid the saint will personally order one for you!"

"It's okay, the main hall on my father's side will deal with it!"

Zhao Ziqian put down the pen, and what jumped on the paper was a portrait of a woman.

It's not a good life

Non-red-faced, not thin-hearted, cool-hearted
