The prince turned his head sideways, dodged his mother's slap, held her cold wrist with his backhand, and looked at his mother quietly.

The queen didn't want to be so sharp in the eyes of the always cowardly Tai Lizi, subconsciously trembled slightly, withdrew her hand from her son's hand, and said slowly: "Do you really think that your mother has done something wrong?"

The prince frowned and said softly, "The child doesn't dare." ”

The queen suddenly raised her voice and said, "Don't you know that Fan Xian and the second child met in the flower boat?"

The crown prince suddenly raised his face, looked directly into the queen's eyes, and said quietly: "Can the queen mother let the child handle these things by herself?" As a poet of a generation, it is common for Fan Xian to meet with the second brother. ”

The queen was anxious and angry, but she didn't know how the child could speak to this cowardly son with a hint of fierceness.

The prince glanced at her and said softly: "Queen Mother, I often wonder if you can not be so sensitive, you will only drive the courtiers who may become the help of the child to the other brothers. ”

The queen gritted her teeth and said: "This palace is the mother of a country, and if you punish a little minister, how dare he hold a grudge." ”

The prince sneered lightly and said: "Mother, you shouldn't have let Han Shangshu do it that day, and you can't really beat Fan Xian to death, why do you want to offend the Fan family and the prime minister? I think in a few days, Han Shangshu will not be able to stand in the court, and there are not many powerful ministers in the court who are willing to get close to the East Palace, but you want to cut off your fingers, I really don't know what you think." ”

The queen frowned and said: "After all, Han Zhiwei is the secretary of the court, and he was ordered to try the case according to the law that day, what can the prime minister and Fan Jian do? With the East Palace to protect him, His Majesty will always save some face for you, the prince." ”

"Don't forget, Fan Xian is the commander of the Supervision Yuan, and my father has always admired him. The prince exhaled a breath of turbidity, shook his head and sighed: "Han Zhiwei has offended too many people this time, you must know that it is my father's intention to rectify the wind of the scientific field." It is impossible for this palace to come forward to protect him. ”

The queen sneered: "Don't forget how many Beijing officials Fan Xian has also offended, not to mention that there is also the Metropolitan Procuratorate involved this time, although your aunt is far away in Xinyang, her power in the court will not stand idly by." ”

"Don't mention my aunt. The prince seemed to be a little disgusted with the eldest princess: "In the past two years, she has been too eccentric, and she actually colluded with the Northern Qi side. As for the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate surnamed Guo, it was just a little white face that she played with back then, and even if she was assassinated by the Supervision Yuan, she would not blink an eye. ”

After all, the crown prince is the prince of a country, although over the years, the eldest princess and the East Palace have always been very close. But when Fan Xian's words were scattered all over Kyoto like snowflakes, the prince was also a little jealous of the eldest princess. Of course, there are other reasons.

The queen said bitterly: "We have no other help, just rely on the eldest princess." ”

"The palace will rely on my father. The crown prince replied calmly, until this moment, the prince, who had always seemed a little weak, finally showed the natural political sense and judgment of the children of the royal family.

The queen slowly closed her eyes and said, "Anyway, I don't like Fan Xian, find a way to let him die." ”

The prince slapped the table angrily. He said angrily: "Die? Have you forgotten that Fan Xian is Chen'er's father-in-law! You don't want to listen to your aunt's instigation in everything, that woman is a madman, a madman, do you know? Do you also want to become a madman and be kicked out of the palace?"

The queen was furious, trembling with anger, pointed to the prince's nose, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you know? What do ......you know? What do you know?" In anger, he actually said four sentences in a row, "What do you know." ”

......

The eunuchs and palace maids had already avoided from afar, and in the East Palace, there were only the mother and son. After a long silence, the queen stood up, but her body seemed to be a little weak and swayed. The prince quickly got up and helped her. Some reluctantly pleaded guilty.

The queen looked at her son, extremely miserable, there were already wrinkles next to the beautiful Danfeng eyes, and said quietly: "In all dynasties, the prince is the most difficult seat to sit on, you have to guard against the front of you, behind you, there is no one in the queen mother's house, the turmoil twelve years ago, you probably have no memory, but the mother remembers clearly, if you don't fight for it yourself, then what belongs to you will be taken away." ”

The prince made his voice as soft as possible, and said softly: "The child understands, the queen mother should go back to the palace to rest first." ”

The queen shook her head: "You don't understand, you don't understand...... I've always had a bit of foreboding these days, and it's a strong feeling...... It's like when that woman entered Kyoto many years ago. ”

"Which woman?" said the prince curiously.

At this moment, the heavy wooden door of the East Palace was suddenly pushed open.

"Who?!" the prince frowned and rebuked.

An old eunuch walked in with his body and said very respectfully: "Old slave Hong Siitch, by the order of the Queen Mother, please go to the Heguang Palace to chat." ”

A trace of horror on the queen's face flashed for a moment, and then she was full of smiles, and with the support of the palace maid, she followed the old eunuch Hong who was leaning on her body and walked to the palace of the real mistress of the palace.

The prince frowned slightly, although he didn't like the rudeness of this old dog very much, but he knew that the other party was the eunuch closest to his grandmother, and even the queen mother was not willing to offend, so he naturally wouldn't do anything.

The candles in the palace gradually dimmed, and the crown prince Li Chengqian thought about the absurd farce above the punishment department that day, and his heart was even more depressed, he really didn't understand why the queen mother listened to the words of the eldest princess like this, and when he thought of the young and charming aunt, the prince's heart was hot, his face was ashamed, and he was slightly frightened, but his eyes gradually revealed lust.

He flicked his sleeves and walked to the apse, and a moment later, there was a faint moan of spring, and a palace maid was tossing and turning begging for pleasure under him, and the prince's palace shirt was all lifted to her neck and face, covering her face, revealing only the white and swaying plump breasts. He invaded hard, and gasped heavily, thinking to himself why all the soft women in the world were unwilling to lie on the bed honestly, and had to show off their stupid methods?

――――――

Spring is coming. The flowers bloomed, the birds chirped, and the four newly promoted officials of Yang Wanli went to Fan's mansion again, wanting to bathe in the spring breeze of Lord Xiaofan, but today Lord Xiaofan was still not in the mansion. What made Hou Jichang even more headache was that he got the news that Lord Xiao Fan was on a certain mission, and he would send an envoy to Northern Qi tomorrow.

The second-class jinshi did not enter the Hanlin, and according to the rules of previous years, they would be released to any local official, and they saw that the dispatch of the officials was about to start, except for Shi Li. The other three naturally had to listen to Fan Xian's opinion, after all, this time, the three of them relied on Fan Xian's strength to get to this point, and they naturally thought that Fan Xian definitely needed them to do something in the local area.

Unexpectedly, Fan Xian did not meet them, but only left two letters for them, one for the three new officials who were about to leave Beijing. One is reserved for Shi Lili, who is ready to return to his hometown.

The four of them sat in the study of Fan's mansion, and drank a sip of the good tea brought by the subordinate with some taste, and they didn't care about avoiding suspicion, so they opened the two letters left by the master to themselves.

Among them, the letter to Hou Jichang and the three was a blank piece of paper, on which only two very simple sentences were written.

"Be a good man, be a good official. ”

At the end, there was a single sentence left for Hou Jichang, Fan Xian wrote in the letter: "Ji Chang should not be too afraid of guilt. ”

This is a cold joke that Fan Xian only understood, and these three people naturally don't understand what it means. Focus only on the first two sentences. Be a good person, be a good official, the more the three of them feel, the more they feel that this simple word contains a very real truth, if you want to learn to be an official, you must naturally learn to be a person first.

But there is another meaning in this statement, I don't know which of them has come out - to be a good person, not to be a good person. Being a good official does not necessarily mean being a good official.

......

After reading this letter, Yang Wanli was naturally interested in the letter in Shi Xianli's hand, and he didn't know what was written in the letter that Lord Xiao Fan specially left for Shi Xianli, after all, among the four people, only Shi Xianli seemed to have a bleak future.

Shi Xianli's three friends who were a little anxious opened the letter in their eyes, and when they looked closely, it was a few broken sentences, but they almost laughed out loud.

"The governor of the old side is not in agreement, three points are in the person and seven are in the sky, Mo Chou has no confidant under the umbrella, and he is just waiting for leisure. ”

The last three words are only waiting for leisure, which naturally means waiting for Fan Xian to come back.

――――――

At this time, Fan Xian was sitting in the courtyard he had bought, frowning slightly. His fingers stroked the hollow belt, and touched the pill that Fei Jie gave himself when he was a child, at that time the teacher said that if there is anything wrong with the domineering true qi in his body, he must rely on this pill to save his life, but after entering Beijing, the domineering true qi in his body has always been extremely obedient, he has forgotten this thing, and when he sorted out the equipment during the day today, he remembered it, but after so many years, I don't know if the medicine that Fei Jie has dispensed has failed.

Wang Qinian sat opposite him and replied respectfully: "The person has been found." He raised his head with some hesitation: "Of course, there are some similarities, Lord Tisi is proficient in the art of makeup and disguise, and with a little decoration, I think that ordinary people should not be able to see the flaws when they look at it from a distance." But there's always something wrong. ”

"What's wrong?" Fan Xian was slightly stunned and said, "Didn't you say it's quite similar?" After raising it for a month, the complexion is also closer. ”

Wang Qi replied in a young voice: "It is difficult to find a person as handsome as an adult among these turbid men, even if it is similar, but it is really difficult to pretend to be such a natural temperament and scholarly poetry as Lord Tisi." ”

Fan Xian was stunned, immediately understood, and scolded with a smile: "You are a fool, now the sycophants are becoming more and more unbearable, more uninhibited, and more and more wonderful." ”
