"If you can't eat grapes, you say grapes are sour."

Chengshan walked out of the gate of Fengchen Mansion and sat in the carriage that specially picked him up, although he was ridiculed by Shao Hui and Gongsun Yu just now, but he was still happy in his heart, and even couldn't help but think about it.

Maybe Shangguan Wan'er has prepared a table of wine for him, although the food has been very hearty these days, but there will always be unexpected delicacies in front of him, especially a stunning beauty like Shangguan Wan'er, the food she prepared will definitely be refreshing.

Or Shangguan Wan'er is waiting for him in the bathroom, although she is no longer young, but she is very well maintained, she looks like she is in her twenties, without the youthfulness of a girl, adding a mature charm, this feeling seems to be more energetic than the first love.

"The spring cold bathes Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and creamy.

The waiter helped up the delicate and weak, and it was the time of the new inheritance. ”

The author of this poem has not yet been born, so it is very appropriate to take it out in advance to render the atmosphere, and it has already aroused the waves in Chengshan's heart. He usually insists on exercising, basically taking a bath every day, and he has not yet become familiar with the environment when he comes here, and due to the busy days of his life, there is a little sour smell all over his body. Chengshan has always wanted to find a chance to relax, could it be that Shangguan Wan'er found out this need of his?

Seongsan sat in the car and thought about it, occasionally smirking twice. It didn't take long for him to come to the gate of a luxurious mansion, and Chengshan got out of the car and looked up, and it turned out to be the "Xiuwen Museum".

"What did you ask me to do here in the middle of the night? Do you want me to accompany her to recite poetry?" Chengshan was a little puzzled, but he still followed the servant inside.

When I came to the main hall, I found that it was brilliantly lit. Shangguan Wan'er was sorting out the official documents with a few young men, and when she saw Chengshan coming in, she came over with a smile.

"I'm sorry to disturb the university scholars so late. Shangguan Wan'er was wearing a female officer's casual clothes, and if she didn't look carefully, she thought it was a man.

"Where, where?" said Chengshan also smiled slightly.

"Please come over for a moment. Shangguan Wan'er beckoned to him.

Chengshan couldn't help but be a little excited, thinking that Shangguan Wan'er would take him to the banquet hall or something else, but he didn't expect that Shangguan Wan'er would take him to another study.

"University scholar, are you familiar with the etiquette of the winter solstice sacrifice?" Shangguan Wan'er took out a volume of official documents. On the cover is written six big characters "Winter Solstice Sacrifice to the Heavens".

Chengshan was slightly taken aback. "A little bit of it. ”

According to the literature, as early as the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a custom of sacrificing to the sky on the winter solstice, which was followed by successive dynasties until the Tang Dynasty. The gift of sacrificing to the heavens expresses the wish of the ancients to pray for good weather for the common people in the world, and also reflects the respect and awe for nature. The whole ceremony is divided into sacrificial sweeps, ascending to the majesty, laying jade silk, first offering, sub-offering, dancing and praying, etc. Although after the Tang Dynasty, the royal family no longer attached importance to this memorial, but in the Tang Dynasty, especially during the Wu Zetian period, it was particularly important.

Now that Wu Zetian is unwell, she may want to take this opportunity to pray to the heavens for blessings to bless her with good health and a smooth year, so this year's winter solstice sacrifice ceremony is particularly important.

Wu Zetian was sick, so he couldn't be present to preside over the sacrifice in person, and he must have been sacrificed by someone else. Therefore, it is very important who will preside over and complete the first and second offerings, and Shangguan Wan'er is also cautious in handling this matter.

She explained as she saw Seongsan's surprised look. "I have made known to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has asked me to seek your opinion. ”

"I see. Seongsan was reluctant, he knew that there was no benefit in mixing this kind of thing, and no matter what he said, he would offend people. Even if Shangguan Wan'er kept it secret for him, this matter would still be spread, and he would be suspicious of all forces in the DPRK and China, and he might even lead to death.

"Students are only shallow in their studies, and they dare not take on this big responsibility. "He was as modest and cautious as he could, as evasive as he could.

"Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you, and no one else will know. In fact, Your Majesty also knows that you are still young and inexperienced in these matters, but she did ask me to hear your opinion. Therefore, I will convey it truthfully, and I hope you can understand. ”

Chengshan thought about it carefully and immediately understood. It turned out that Wu Zetian was testing him. Suddenly three strange people fell from the sky, and Wu Zetian couldn't help but be a little nervous. The origin of these three people is unknown, and the timing of their appearance is very delicate, Wu Zetian has to guess, who is the instigation?

"Everything is up to Your Majesty's decision, and I think it is more appropriate for the first dedication to be completed by the crown prince and the second dedication to be completed by King Liang. "King Liang is Wu Sansi, he is Wu Zetian's own nephew, this arrangement seems to be unoffended by anyone, and Chengshan found from the records of later generations that the sacrifice at that time was arranged in this way.

"Well, okay. Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, and seemed to agree with Chengshan's opinion. The Li Tang royal family and the descendants of the Wu family are not offended, this is a just right balance, and it is estimated that Wu Zetian can also be satisfied.

They also discussed some details of the sacrifice to the heavens, and although Chengshan did not find the details in the records of later generations, he was able to analyze the details by speculating carefully. And he must act unfamiliar, otherwise it will make Shangguan Wan'er suspicious.

When Dongfang turned white and heard the sound of roosters, Shangguan Wan'er realized that it was already dawning. She was very surprised to see that Seongsan didn't seem to have the slightest tired expression.

"The university scholar is really good at physical strength!"

"Where, Lord Shangguan, you are full of energy!" Chengshan pretended to yawn.

"You can call me Wan'er in the future, don't call me Lord Shangguan. Shangguan Wan'er has already looked at Chengshan differently.

"Yes, Wan'er. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if they had a sense of understanding.

Shangguan Wan'er hurriedly cleaned up, and then went into the palace to see Wu Zetian, and she asked Chengshan to wait for her to come back. Chengshan had nothing to do, so he walked around the Xiuwen Pavilion a few times and collected a lot of spiritual power. He couldn't help but sigh that Shangguan Wan'er was really talented, and she was indeed worthy of the reputation of "weighing the corporal of the world".

When it was time for lunch, Shangguan Wan'er had not returned, and the subordinates of the Xiuwen Pavilion did their best to prepare a sumptuous lunch for Chengshan, but it was far worse than that in Fengchen's mansion. Chengshan didn't care, after he hurriedly finished eating, he flipped through the books in Wan'er's study.

"What are the scholars looking at?" Chengshan heard the sound and looked over, Shangguan Wan'er came back, her face was red, she looked very happy, and she also changed her clothes, looking very feminine.

"Wan'er, you're back, what did Your Majesty say?" Chengshan felt that calling her name like this was particularly kind, and there was a feeling of being a gentleman.

"Your Majesty is very pleased with your suggestion and praises it. Shangguan Wan'er smiled slightly, but she also felt the crisis at the same time, Wu Zetian usually does not easily praise others, if she praises a certain person, it is likely that she wants the other party to relax their vigilance.

"False praise, false praise!" Chengshan was a little proud, he was already familiar with history, and these questions were not difficult.

"Your Majesty may have a mission to arrange for you. When Shangguan Wan'er said this, her eyes kept on Chengshan, and she hoped that Chengshan would understand the sound outside the strings.

"I am a scholar, I can only recite poetry and live a carefree life. Wan'er, don't ask me about these official documents next time, right?" "From ancient times to the present, political life has been full of risks, and there is no fun in life except for intrigue and deceit all day long. Chengshan didn't plan to live here for a long time, and he didn't want to make it so hard.

And accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and accompanying a shrewd and capable empress like Wu Zetian is even more dangerous, she is moody, uncertain, and the slightest carelessness will lead to death. Shangguan Wan'er has also been punished many times, if it weren't for Wu Zetian's meritorious work, and she felt that she was a daughter and didn't pose any threat to herself, otherwise she would have disappeared long ago.

Shangguan Wan'er also understood what Chengshan meant, she smiled slightly, and pulled out a book of poems from the bookshelf. This is a new book of poems from the Xiuwen Museum, with a few new poems she made, as well as the works of other bachelors, take it out for Chengshan to taste.

Seeing the poetry collection, Chengshan was interested. He looked at it carefully, reciting from time to time a beautiful verse, and praising the beauty of the poem, which made the author standing on the side very proud, and occasionally let out a sweet laugh.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Chengshan carefully, this tall young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, broad shoulders gave people a full sense of security, and his expression of concentrating on reading poetry was even more charming.

Wan'er pulled Chengshan to sit on the chair, gently supporting Chengshan's shoulders with both hands, and the bodies of the two people were closer.

Chengshan trembled slightly, he smelled the fragrance of Wan'er's body, and also felt the warmth of his hands, like bursts of electricity from his shoulders to his whole body, making his blood boil.

Chengshan held the poetry book in his hand and began to tremble slightly, and his heartbeat couldn't help but increase. When he was studying with Li Runying in the library, he was not so close, but now a peerless talented woman with a beautiful country is standing next to him, how can he sit still and not be messy?

"This poem is so well written......!" he was about to turn his head, but he didn't expect Wan'er's face to be leaning on his shoulder, and the two of them suddenly looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed, and the breath exhaled from their mouths was entwined and condensed into a white mist.

If you get closer, there will be physical contact, but the two men don't seem to stop and continue to move slightly closer to each other.

"There are a few plums in the corner, and Ling Han opens it alone.

I know that it is not snow, but there is a dark fragrance. ”

The plum blossoms in the yard are blooming with smiling faces, and the light and elegant fragrance is scattered and wafting, as if to suggest that spring is coming. At this moment, Chengshan's heart was already surging, he had already appreciated the charming and delicate spring, and was sweating like rain on a sunny summer day, and only they knew the happiness of it.
