A few people turned around and saw a white-skinned young man standing behind them.

The boy was seventeen or eighteen years old, and his eyes flashed with excitement. He was born everywhere, but his eyebrows are much narrower than ordinary people, and he doesn't look like a face that is easy to deal with. But the look on his face showed a big grin of "people are stupid and money comes quickly", as if as long as someone asks for it, he will rush up to the sword mountain and go down the sea of fire without pay.

Yuan Li said unhappily: "Second brother, you call me Xiao Lizi again, I told my mother to go, you bully me!" ”

Only then did Yan Qingge and the others know that this young man was the second prince Yuanzhen.

Yuan Zhen looked Yan Qingge and a few people up and down, and said with interest: "Whose girls are you, you are not bad, Chunlan Qiuju, each has its own victory, today it is a blessing for my eyes!" ”

As soon as Yan Qingge heard his frivolous words, he knew that today was not so easy to pass.

Yuan Li thought that Yuan Zhen asked who these people were, and pointed to the three of them one by one in a milky voice: "This is Sister Yan, this is Sister Shui, and this is Sister Ling." I know the second brother and the three sisters. ”

Yuan Zhen smiled and touched Yuan Li's head: "You are very smart today." ”

Yuan Li's round eyes widened: "Second brother, then can we go to the palace of the concubine to eat, I'm hungry." ”

Yuan Zhen said: "Little glutton, you go first, the second brother still has something to do." ”

Yuan Li sighed, Sa Huan ran forward, and a large group of palace maids who followed him also disappeared in an instant.

Yan Qingge and the three of them just wanted to say goodbye to Yuan Zhen, but they saw Yuan Zhen's nose suddenly twitch a few times, sniffed in the air, and then reached out towards Yan Qingge and grabbed a handful in the void, put it under his nose, let go of his palm and smelled it, and said intoxicatedly: "It's your taste, it's so fragrant and fragrant, you can't even cover it with fat powder." ”

Yan Qingge's face suddenly darkened, it was too much for Yuan Li to do this kind of behavior to her.

She still remembered that she was playing a nerd in her mind, and said bluntly: "Don't look at indecent things, don't listen to indecent people, don't move indecent people!" The second prince will go back and read a few more sage books. ”

Yuan Zhen pulled a smile and said, "I just heard that you are a little bookworm, but I didn't expect it to be true." The delicate and elegant tightness on your body must be the smell of books, ink, and paper! Sure enough, she is a natural beauty, I feel sorry for me, the third brother is really blessed. However, he doesn't love reading as much as I do, and it's a pity for you to follow him. ”

Speaking of this, how could Yan Qingge not know that this Yuan Zhen was not good. The third prince is the third brother, the third brother in Yuan Zhen's mouth, he must be the prince.

The anger in her chest had strangely subsided.

She didn't have to mess up her plans with someone who was going to cut off her head. Thinking of Yuanli's tragic fate a few years later, she didn't even have the mood to fight with him at all. It's like if a person is bitten and finds out that it was a dog, and he doesn't bite back.

What's more, Yuanli was not aimed at her at all, but at the crown prince. Now no matter who else comes, as long as he resists the marriage contract with the prince, Yuan Zhen will make the current frivolous move. She just needs to keep up her nerdy image.

Yan Qingge's face turned pale, he frowned stubbornly, glared at the prince angrily, but he couldn't say a word, he looked like a typical useless scholar, and he had to be upright and unyielding.

Just when the situation was stalemate, the old grandmother behind them stood up and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Second prince, the queen mother gave the three girls a reward, and if you don't come back, you won't be able to keep up with the reward." The second prince has something to say, let's talk about it next time. Unceremoniously led the three girls out of here, without even saying goodbye.

Yuan Zhen smiled at Yan Qingge's back, and there was a glint of excitement in his eyes.

Yan Qingge's trip to the palace this time was just going to see Shui Ying, but who knew that he was summoned by the queen again, and he also encountered the second prince, and there were many branches, but fortunately, it ended without danger.

After going out, she turned around and looked at the tall palace wall, and the depression in her heart spread out a little, if there was no accident, this should be the last time she entered the palace, and those things in the palace wall should be left behind.

In Chuxiu Palace, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy is standing in front of a bookcase and drawing.

On the fine rice paper with a slight yellowish color, a beautiful woman has been drawn.

This beauty is fairy-like, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, holding a plum blossom in her hand, if Yan Qingge is here, she will definitely be able to recognize that the person on this painting is clearly her.

The young man who was painting dropped the last stroke, sighed softly, called the eunuch Zhu Liubao who was waiting, and said, "Put it away." ”

Zhu Liubao stepped forward respectfully, hung up the painting, and put it into a special small box after the ink dried.

In this box, there are already more than a dozen portraits of this plum fairy. Since last year, after seeing the plum blossom fairy in the plum forest of Yanxia Mountain, the prince has never forgotten it, and from time to time he will draw a small portrait of the plum blossom fairy after he returns.

Today, the young lady of the Yan family, who has a marriage contract with the prince, entered the palace and was summoned by the queen, and there are rumors in the palace that the girl is a short-sighted nerd, the prince's mood has become very bad, and he locked himself in the study for several hours, concentrating on painting the portrait of the plum blossom fairy, it seems that in this way, he can calm his unhappy mood.

The prince stayed in the study for a long time, taking a walk in the courtyard to breathe, Zhu Liubao followed, shrunk his neck and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, there is something that the slave doesn't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say!"

"The servant heard that at noon, the second prince stopped Miss Yan in the Imperial Garden, and praised Miss Yan for her fragrance of books and ink." Zhu Liubao reported cautiously.

The prince's already dark eyes suddenly surged into a deeper darkening color, but his expression did not move at all, and he didn't even answer Zhu Liubao.

Even if the Yan family girl is a nerd, it is also his prince's nerd. Yuan Zhen was not bullying her, but slapping him in the face of the prince.

After the walk was finished, after the prince returned to the study, he inadvertently took out a notebook on the bookshelf and said lightly: "Call the master on duty in the imperial study today." ”

Zhu Liubao hurriedly ordered, and after a quarter of an hour, Zhang Ying, a scholar, hurriedly walked in, with gray hair, unkempt, and a little ink on his beard.

The prince said gently, "Please sit down with Mr. Zhang." ”

Zhang Ying looked at the prince with some apprehension, the prince is fourteen this year, and he no longer has to go to the imperial study every day to order something, and he doesn't know what happened to call him here today.

The prince set his eyes on the calligraphy on the table and said, "How about Mr. Zhang, take a look at this calligraphy?" ”

Zhu Liubao handed the notebook to Zhang Ying, Zhang Ying turned two pages, and immediately showed a happy expression: "It's so posted!" This "Fight for Seat Post" should be a rubbing version of the previous dynasty, at least a unique copy from 400 years ago. This sticker has clear strokes, no missing words, Zhang Ying is fortunate to be able to see it. ”

The prince smiled slightly: "If you like it, sir, take it." The second brother goes to the imperial study every day to study, and he should like to practice calligraphy, and this word is in the hands of Mr., and it is no different from the second brother. ”

Cold sweat broke out on Zhang Ying's back, barely maintaining a calm expression, and said: "The second prince is dedicated to learning, I teach him more in learning, but I dare not go beyond it in other places." ”

The prince said lightly: "Sir, go." ”

Zhang Ying retired and walked out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace, his strongly supported body could no longer be maintained, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost fell to the ground.

The book he has in hand is not only an excellent copybook for practicing calligraphy, but its content has also been passed down through the ages.

The content of this post is a calligrapher who denounced a powerful eunuch. The eunuch was favored and attended royal banquets over the years, and the seats were arranged in front of the orthodox prime minister, which was very despicable. Because of the anger caused by the public, the eunuch's fate was very bad.

The calligraphy of this post is good, and the words scolding the eunuch in it are also tongue-in-cheek, and the sentences are harsh, and even spread through the ages.

The crown prince sent this post to him, and also specifically pointed out that he had a close relationship with the second prince recently, and how could Zhang Ying not understand the deep meaning.

In recent years, as the princes have grown up, the battle over whether or not to have another prince has begun to surge.

In particular, the second prince born by the concubine has become the target of the new prince favored by some ministers.

The concubine's family is powerful and has to be favored. The second prince born by Concubine Hou is smart and studious, known as impatient and righteous, and has made many ministers in the court, plus has a biological younger brother.

On the other hand, the prince is frail and sickly, lives in a simple house, never shows anything outside, like an invisible person, he is younger, and he has no brothers with the same mother. Compared with the second prince, who has a wide range of contacts and a growing reputation, he really has no sense of existence and special advantages.

Zhang Ying is a clear stream and doesn't get involved much in the affairs of the DPRK and China, but with the change of the wind outside, the balance in his heart gradually fell to the second prince.

It's just, if it doesn't belong to you, is it really right to take it? Those who are ambitious do not drink the water of the stolen spring, no matter how good the second prince is, if he wants to be the prince, his name is not right.

However, how did the prince know about the fact that he and the second prince had a close relationship?

Zhang Ying remembered the black eyes of the prince and the warning in his words, and knew that the prince had already seen all this. His body trembled uncontrollably, and the hidden ears and eyes of the prince had reached such an incredible level. Even by his side, a scholar, there are people from the prince.

Was it his colleague, or his servant, or simply a relative or friend whom he thought he could trust? Zhang Ying didn't dare to think deeply.

Thinking back to the few people who expressed their support for the second prince with great fanfare, Zhang Ying's eyes darkened for a while - those people counted carefully, and none of them could really stand firm and stand.

Before he even noticed, the crown prince had grown to this point. His strength is unfathomable, his mind is incomprehensible, and he does not have many words, but every word is like a thousand pounds, and even more than the current reigning saints, he is afraid and surrendered, this is the way of a true king. In comparison, the second prince who jumps up and down outside all day long is like a joke.

He flipped the notebook in his hand and smiled bitterly. At this point, he had to do something to show his loyalty to the prince.

Then, let the second prince take the calligraphy in his hand and practice it well. I hope that when the second prince practices this post to be pure, he can also understand the true meaning of this book, let go of the ambition in his heart, and maybe, he will end up well in the future, and it will not be in vain for their master-apprentice relationship.
