In the Imperial Garden. Winter is melting. A breeze blows. The brilliant plum blossoms on the branches are blown like bursts of red mist. Covered in people.

Elegant plum fragrance. It's refreshing. This party that is being held in the Imperial Garden is extraordinarily elegant.

Yan Xiuyu gently brushed away a piece of crimson plum petals floating in the wine glass. Take a small sip of this warm glass of wine.

Stage. The Emperor was sitting peacefully. There was no expression on his face. From the beginning of the banquet to the present. He didn't say a word.

The emperor has never talked much. Communication with courtiers. It's more about the folds. This half a year. As the crown prince began to manage the affairs of the court. The emperor was even more reticent.

Yan Xiuyu entered the palace today. There are two purposes.

One. It was he who scratched his heart and wanted to see Yan Qingge. Two. It was he who had been confessed by Le Xuan before. It's best to ask the royal family what arrangements he has for him.

There are a total of six people in the top three in the civil and military examinations today. Only he has an old relationship with the royal family. The remaining five. The performance is quite restrained. The atmosphere at the banquet was very solemn. Let Yan Xiuyu not be close to the emperor and the crown prince.

Just when Yan Xiuyu didn't know what to do. The emperor on the stage stood up. Hit the chin twice. Left without saying a word.

Watching the figure of the emperor in a bright yellow robe go farther and farther. Yan Xiuyu was stunned.

He didn't have time to speak. The emperor turned out to be gone.

He listened to the inside of the book. That's not what I said. Obviously, in those intrigue court stories. It's all the villains who make the first move. Decent and preemptive. Other words. He, a "good man", couldn't speak first. Not to say. Wen Zhuangyuan loves current affairs. Comment on the national policy. Today, the champion of this article didn't say anything.

Yan Xiuyu couldn't help but look at the fifty-year-old new Kewen champion with an orange peel on the opposite side with a face of orange peel.

But even the emperor is gone. What a villain is decent. traitors and loyal ministers. Whoever is performing it for.

Yan Xiuyu couldn't sit still.

Seeing Yan Xiuyu twist several times in his seat. The prince gave a gentle glance. said to Zhu Liubao beside him: "Go and take a look." See if the mat under the flame champion is uncomfortable. ”

Today is the official banquet occasion in the palace. That's why we eat at separate tables. The ancient method of sitting on the ground. Not only were there ceremonial mats on the ground. More and faster chapters are here. Also because of the cold weather. Extra mats.

Zhu Liubao walked behind Yan Xiuyu in a few steps. He stammered: "Little Lord Yan." You are not uncomfortable. The old slave will give you a change of mat. How is it. ”

Yan Xiuyu was stunned. "It's not uncomfortable. He looked up at the prince. Seeing that the prince also looked at him. Thinking that the emperor is gone. He asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The minister has something unclear. Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to clarify his doubts. ”

The crown prince bowed gently and encouragingly to Yan Xiuyu. "But it doesn't hurt to speak. ”

Gritted his teeth. Yan Xiuyu remembered when he was listening to books in the past few days. The trick that almost every minister has to use: retreat as advance. He decided to draw a scoop with a gourd.

He knew it in his heart. If it's self-defeating. But I'm going to put myself in it.

A handful of sweat in the palm of his hand. The first update Yan Xiuyu said calmly: "I heard that the north has not been very stable recently. The Privy Council and the Ministry of War there. He also repeatedly transferred troops to the north. But he didn't hear which general was sent. ”

After all that's said. Yan Xiuyu looked at the crown prince. Wait for him to reply. The stomach is screaming. begged God not to let the prince come out with the sentence "Waiting for you to go".

There are no soldiers. It is indeed a very strange situation in the Northland right now. For the common people. It could be a secret. But it is absolutely impossible to hide from the aristocratic layer of the Great Zhou.

The prince laughed loudly: "It turns out that Yan Zhuangyuan is worried about this. It is worthy of being a martial champion. Sure enough, the mind is on the border. But. The Northland is not as empty as you think. There is already a general guarding it. Just a few barbarians. Let alone. That one general is enough to withstand hundreds of fierce generals. Be the first to update"

Yan Xiuyu was a little puzzled, and went over the number of famous generals in the court. I found that they were basically all in the capital. Occasionally, expatriates. It is also sent to the southwest and southern frontiers. There were even two who were transferred to the East China Sea to level the pirates. But none of them were in the north.

He was puzzled. But the prince had already changed the subject. smiled slightly and talked to the new champion. That Wen Zhuangyuan's surname is Gu. It is a very distant branch of the Gu clan. He was fifty years old. Suddenly got the prince to ask. Excited hands were shaking a little.

See that the prince is approachable. The atmosphere at the table changed suddenly. It's getting much warmer. There was no place for Yan Xiuyu to intervene again.

Although the crown prince revealed that he would not send another person to the frontier to guard it. But the most important thing for Yan Xiuyu was that he hadn't done it.

He rubbed to the left. Right twist it. Finally waited until the banquet was over. Before the prince could speak. Then he said excitedly: "What a beautiful plum blossom." Beauty. Beauty. Beauty. It's just beautiful. If you can enter Merlin to have a look. No regrets in this life. ”

How could the prince not know Yan Xiuyu's thoughts in his heart. I couldn't help but sneer secretly in my heart.

Yan Xiuyu just wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hang out in the merlin. Let's see if I can see Yan Qingge. Today he was going to be disappointed.

Because. Don't say it's a feast today. The left and right entrances of the imperial garden are guarded by palace maids and eunuchs. Idlers are not allowed to enter. Just say the queen there. It is impossible to ask Yan Qingge to appear on such an occasion.

Despite the slander in the belly. On the surface. The prince still smiled and said, "Everyone. It's still early. It's not too late to go after watching the flowers. ”

Those are the top three in the civil and military examinations. I heard that there were such good things. You look at me, I look at you. They were able to feast and drink in the Imperial Garden. It's a great honor. If you have another chance to enjoy the flowers. In the future, it can be used as a lifelong talking point.

Got the prince's promise. Yan Xiuyu was the first to get up. Rushing into the garden.

Flowers and branches all the way. The flowers in the plum forest that Yan Xiuyu played with floated down one after another. It was like a burst of fragrant snow. But he searched for Merlin no less than three times. I only bumped into five people who came to watch the flowers. and a few eunuchs who were waiting. I didn't see Yan Qingge at all. And. Even the rest of the palace maids and concubines who are common in the palace. I didn't see a single one.

Yan Xiuyu, who had returned to his senses, realized it later. There are outsiders in the palace today. The woman in the palace. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to run around.

He was annoyed for a moment. This is the case. I'm afraid that Le Xuan had already guessed it. But I didn't tell him. He was the only one who wanted to see Yan Qingge. was negligent.

Yan Xiuyu felt uncomfortable in his heart. The pride that rose from being admitted to the martial arts champion before. It's good to be proud. All were thrown out of the clouds.

Punch hard. Yan Xiuyu slammed into the plum blossom branch at his side. Hit the plum blossoms on the trees one after another. Floated all over his head.

Then. The figure of the prince appeared quietly. He looked at Yan Xiuyu in front of him. The black eyes couldn't help but darken.

Yan Xiuyu's current appearance. It made the prince feel extremely threatened. Because he's so beautiful.

Today, Yan Xiuyu dressed up carefully. Dressed in a warm blue dress. More and faster chapters are here. There was a slight green in the blue. Let people see it later. I can't help but think of the beautiful words that describe spring in the poetry book.

lined with the elaborately carved green hosta on his head. and that peerless face. and the plum blossoms that fell on the feet, shoulders, and hair of his robe. It's like heaven and earth.

The most excessive. Yan Xiuyu drank a little wine. The complexion became more delicate. A pair of eyes are even more watery and dazzling. Whether the woman saw it. All of them will be fascinated.

Fortunately, Yan Qingge did not come here today. Seeing Yan Xiuyu's appearance at this moment. That's the kind of person you have. Stand in a favorable place and snatch Yan Qingge from him. He had a slight chance of winning.

The crown prince smiled gently at Yan Xiuyu. Said: "Yan Zhuangyuan." The pavilion on the lake warmed up with good wine. Lonely, please drink and enjoy the flowers on the lake. How is it. ”

Yan Xiuyu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Listened to the words of the prince. Dengshi immediately wanted to fill two cups. Terrified.

The two went to the pavilion on the small lake in the Imperial Garden. The roller blinds on three sides of the pavilion were lowered. Block the cold wind that is wrapped in moisture in winter. Half-open to Merlin only.

An intricately carved copper charcoal stove is placed in the middle of the pavilion. On the table in the pavilion are melons and fruits, fine wine, and several snacks. Next to the stone bench. It was also lined with thick cotton pads and fur liners that had been baked in advance. It's so comfortable.

Yan Xiuyu saw that there was no one here. Surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince." Why don't you see the other five? ”

"Lone has already called someone to invite it. I just happened to see Yan Zhuangyuan. Then call the flame champion over. The prince replied.

Yan Xiuyu nodded. Oh. Sit there. Neither did he move the glass in front of him. Apparently he wanted to wait for the rest of the people to come and drink it again.

The crown prince saw that Yan Xiuyu was so cautious. He was wary of himself. And didn't say anything.

After a while. The other five walked in. See the setting in this court. He knelt down again to the prince and thanked him.

This one wine. Compared to the wine at the banquet. Drink much more loosely. Even the prince took in a few more glasses. shouted that he couldn't drink.

I don't know when. Thin white snowflakes rose in the sky. One by one. Falling from the vast sky.

Yan Xiuyu's eyes burst into flames when he drank. In the end, he stumbled. Walk towards the snowy pavilion.

In the pavilion. That Wen Zhuangyuan and Wen Tanhua were already drunk and fell under the table. The rest of the people weren't much better. Only the prince's eyes remained clear.

Looking at Yan Xiuyu's actions. The prince narrowed his eyes slightly. Said: "Help Yan Zhuangyuan down to rest." The rest. Send out of the palace. ”

Zhu Liubao stood behind the crown prince. Weigh yes. A burst of trots out. Arrived in front of Yan Xiuyu.

Yan Xiuyu's mouth is dry. The world went whirling for a while. Only when the icy snowflakes landed on his face. It made him feel a little better.

Zhu Liubao held his footsteps and staggered. Yan Xiuyu, who was walking in a lost track. Said: "Little Lord Yan." Where are you going? ”

Yan Xiuyu couldn't understand what Zhu Liubao was saying at all. One foot deep and one foot shallow. Struggling to move forward. was dragged by Zhu Liubao to the other side.

Not much. They went out of the Imperial Garden. Came to a very remote palace door.

The chamber is in a courtyard with no name. The doorposts are mottled in color. Inside the door was a bleak and desolate place. In the courtyard are planted two large trees with teeth and claws. Stand by a well. It's been a long time since anyone has trimmed it. I don't know if it's dead or alive.

this place. It seems to have been forgotten by time. Just silently stayed in the corner of the palace. I'm just afraid of the old people in the palace. Didn't even know that this place existed.

Then. The door to the chamber creaked open from within. A peachy cheek and apricot eye. A plump and glamorous woman in palace clothes walked out. She stretched out her warm, white, slender hands. took the heavy body of Yan Xiuyu from Zhu Liubao's hand. nodded to Zhu Liubao. Hold him. Head inside the door.
