On the fourteenth day of the first month, the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, Lin'an City.

Shangyuan Festival, also called the Yuan Xi Festival, later called the Lantern Festival, is the first major festival in the Southern Song Dynasty, often lasts for about five days, with the fifteenth day of the first month as the main festival, the fourteenth day of the first month, and the eighteenth night of the first month, it is also the grandest, most grand, and most lively festival among the people, and even the Spring Festival is beyond reach.

The sky is just dark, and the sky over Lin'an City is already gorgeous and colorful, and the fireworks are soaring into the sky. Although it was not completely dark, the streets were already overcrowded, and the cars and horses were blocking the way, and they could not hold back the mood of the people's commotion.

Because Lin'an City is dominated by wooden houses, fires are frequent, so most of the fireworks set off by the people are outside the city, mainly in the West Lake, and the area is demarcated by the government, and there are officials to supervise and manage.

However, in the Lin'an Palace, you can set off fireworks at will, have fun with the people, and show the dignity of imperial power.

In the Jiguo Mansion, Zhao Hong sat in the study, and the hustle and bustle outside seemed to have nothing to do with him.

In fact, he is also helpless, he also likes to be lively, and prefers fox friends and dog friends to gather together, eat, drink and play, be happy, and live a chic life.

His two friends, Xu Liang and Tian Yi, have a large family, and they are reunited for the festive season, and he is embarrassed to disturb others.

On such a lively day as the Yuan Xi Festival, when you go out alone, you always feel that something is missing. But apart from these two people, he couldn't think of anyone else who could drink and chat together, so he could only be alone.

It's not bad to be quiet in the middle of nowhere.

"Your Majesty, the true prince is here!"

Li Tang entered the study, followed by his former mentor Zhen Dexiu.

"True father, I should have gone to see you. Shame, shame! ”

Zhao Hong hurriedly gave up his seat. Before the Spring Festival, I just gave a gift, and I originally planned to visit Zhendexiu, but I was so busy that I didn't arrange time.

"Your Highness, you should be called "Lonely". Between you and me, there is no need to be polite. ”

Zhen Dexiu is still serious, teaching Zhao Hong to be a man with a black face.

But judging from his complexion, he is in a good mood.

"Zhengong, the New Year's Day, why don't you spend it with your family and run to ...... Lonely here? Do you want to be lonely? ”

The two sat down separately, and Zhao Hong opened the conversation.

"Miss you? Do you want to stay up at night? ”

Zhen Dexiu said angrily, and he laughed too.

"Your Highness, you are now famous, and the official family is very pleased with the actions of the court. Your Highness should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future, so as not to be taken advantage of by traitors. ”

"True justice and righteousness, lonely and grateful, I really want to ...... Make a promise! ”

Zhao Hong Zhengse said.

Zhen Deok-so's affection for him moved him.

"Your Highness, you are much more cheerful than before."

Zhen Dexiu said with relief, not caring about Zhao Hong's jokes.

"Your Highness, a few days ago, the official family summoned me to the palace, and his words revealed that he wanted me to return to the center. I have come to inform His Highness. ”

Jin Deok-so hesitated to speak.

This may be the purpose of his coming to see Zhao Hong, to reassure Zhao Hong, he is not struggling alone.

"That's a good thing. With you in the court, traitors have to be careful, and loneliness is much easier! ”

Zhao Hong was sincerely happy.

With Zhen Dexiu and Wei Liaoweng, the twin stars of the Great Song Dynasty in the same department, escorted, he was much more stable in his heart.

"Your Highness really needs the old minister?"

Zhen Dexiu's eyes wandered, and his heart was a little weak.

On that day, in order to avoid disaster, he left the center, leaving Zhao Hong alone to fight. Now that I think about it, it's a little unkind.

"Of course!"

Zhao Hong said categorically, almost saying "of course".

"The whole dynasty is full of Shi Miyuan's people, with you by your lonely side, only when you are lonely can you have the bottom of your heart!"

Thinking of something, Zhao Honghu asked suspiciously:

"Zhengong is back, what if Shi Miyuan makes trouble from it?"

"Your Majesty decreed, Shi Miyuan has to give up a few points. Your Highness can rest assured. ”

Zhen Dexiu shook his head and relieved Zhao Hong.

In his opinion, it is only a matter of time before he returns to the center of the imperial court.

"When the real man leaves, wait for the lonely to arrange it, and practice it for the real father."

"The old minister will leave early tomorrow morning, so as not to make a big splash, so as not to make the city full of wind and rain. Come over tonight, even if it's goodbye. ”

Zhao Hong's diligence satisfied Zhen Dexiu, he picked up the teacup and solemnly admonished:

"Your Highness, just use this cup of tea to cherish each other."

"True father, cherish!"

Zhao Hong solemnly picked up the teacup.

Zhen Dexiu left, and Zhao Hong came back from the gate of the house, feeling a lot more relaxed.

The return of Zhen Deok so to the imperial court is a positive signal no matter how you look at it.

"Your Highness, the little lady of the "Yan Family Rice Shop" is asking to see her outside the house! ”

As soon as Zhao Hong sat down, Li Tang's voice sounded outside the door.

"Let her in!"

Zhao Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Yan Chun came here at this time, what was the matter? Could it be that she is also lonely in spring?

The imperial city of the Southern Song Dynasty is bounded by Chaotianmen, all the way to the south, passing through the Taimiao of the Southern Song Dynasty, the six departments of the three provinces, and the Hening Gate to enter the imperial city. The main street of the entire Imperial City is the "Imperial Street" that faces north-south. South of Chaotianmen to Hening Gate, because of its proximity to the imperial palace, the six departments of the three provinces, the gathering place of the emperor's relatives and civil and military officials, because of the strong purchasing power, the barbaric consumption is high, the gold and silver shops are the majority, but there are also rice and meat shops.

Yan Chun can do business in Chaotianmen Qingpingfang, which shows the strength of his family.

When Yan Chun came in, Zhao Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he couldn't help but whistle.

The dark blue placket, the purple bandeau, a light ribbon girdle, and the waist with a sachet, although there is no powder, but the water hibiscus is naturally carved and decorated, which makes Zhao Hong breathtaking.

In addition, the woman is tall and long-legged, slender and graceful, which is simply a gift from God, and the beauty makes people ashamed of themselves.

"Little lady Yan, the willow tips on the moon, people are about after dusk. On the occasion of the New Year's Eve, you won't come to me specifically, will you? ”

Pressing the amazement in his heart, Zhao Hong said with a smile and made a gesture to sit down.

His wife, the daughter of Empress Wu's family of Song Gaozong, the niece and granddaughter of Empress Yang Guizhi, is arrogant and domineering, and Zhao Hong, who has a donkey temper, is a pair of bars, the two can't get along, and the Wu family ran away from home directly to Jinling, and I don't know where to go, where are people?

Relying on the power of Empress Yang, the Wu family could not tolerate Zhao Hong's pampering of concubines, and often entered the palace to complain to Yang Guizhi. Yang Guizhi rewarded a crystal double lotus flower and asked Zhao Hong to personally wear it on the head for the Wu family to persuade the husband and wife to be harmonious. But a few days later, Wu entered the palace again, saying that Zhao Hong quarreled with her and smashed the crystal double lotus.

As a result, Zhao Hong completely offended Yang Guizhi, and the relationship between the two was estranged and cold to the freezing point.

In fact, the Crystal Double Lotus was broken by himself under the jealousy of the Wu family. And Zhao Hong doesn't like Yang Guizhi, but it is rumored that Shi Miyuan entered and exited the palace, had a personal affair with Yang Guizhi, colluded with Han Yanzhou inside and outside, and some people wrote poems: "Correspondence with the moon is a couple, Shu Juan and the sky are also blind", to satirize the misdeeds of Shi and Yang.

In the eyes of Geng Zhijun and Zhao Hong, how could Yang Guizhi and Shi Miyuan, a pair of traitors and adulteresses, win their favor?

Are people adulterers and adulteresses, are they all in the world, and they have nothing to do with you?

Say you have a moral fetish, or do you have too low emotional intelligence?

You yourself are not even a prince, you are coaxing all day long, scaring the heavens and the earth, losing your throne and losing your life.

Now there are no women around him except for the beauties sent by Shi Miyuan to "go undercover".

It's not that he is cold by nature, but it's that it's really difficult for him to have feelings for the "old people" in this world.

"No one will ask you out, roe deer, with a lewd face. With your demeanor, do you still look like a prince of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

Yan Chun glared at Zhao Hong dissatisfied, and after looking around, he sat down unceremoniously.

"Roe deer, with a lewd face. How can you tell a lie? ”

Zhao Hong smiled slightly and said lazily:

"To tell you the truth, I wake up every day by myself. Sometimes I often go three days without washing my face to make myself look a little less noticeable. ”

Zhao Hong's words made Yan Chun stunned for a moment, and laughed "poof".

"Zhao Hong, is there anyone in this world who is thicker than you?"

"Can't talk big? I'm just an ordinary man, not a sanctimonious saint, just do what I want. ”

Zhao Hong laughed, heartless.

Ruthless may not be a real hero, how can a man who is not full of feelings and rich be worried about the world.

"Yuan Xi Festival, are you going to spend it like this? What about your beauty who plays the piano? ”

Yan Chun rolled his eyes. This Zhao Hong, as expected, is the same as in the legend, not to say anything, and he is shameless, and he has no self-knowledge at all.

"The festive season is also New Year's Eve, and the beauty also has parents and brothers, and the family is happy. You, a stranger, don't go back to your hometown to reunite with your family, and stay in the cold place of Lin'an City, where your materialism is rampant, do you have other plans? ”

Zhao Hong's hippie smile, Yan Chun was stunned, and then snorted coldly.

"Only a charming and simple woman like Xu Ji will be confused by you. I'm just weird, I'll play a broken piano, and I can make her fall in love with you? ”

Zhao Hong smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Just telling the truth, don't you know it's hurtful?

Fortunately, he is the prince, otherwise Xu Ji would never come to him to warm the bed.

"Little lady Yan, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. When you come tonight, do you say that those corrupt officials and soap officials have come to trouble you again? ”

Remembering the previous incident, Zhao Hong asked curiously.

"Not really. Last time, I bothered you to make a move, and I never came to thank you. ”

Yan Chun pointed to the gifts on the table.

"Look, that's interesting!"

"Interesting! Interesting! ”

Zhao Hong smiled bitterly to himself. This is really a straightforward woman, and she doesn't use the word "Xie" to thank anyone.

"Your Highness, in your poems, you praised Genghis Khan as "a generation of heavenly pride", is it a bit exaggerated? You've never seen him, so it's not nonsense, right? ”

Yan Chun made no secret of it, and directly picked up Zhao Hong's poems.

"Shopkeeper Yan, Genghis Khan used soldiers like a god, a small Mongolian, the Western Regions destroyed countless countries, forced the Dajin Kingdom to move its capital to the south of the Yellow River, and the Xia Kingdom was in danger. In all dynasties, there is such a ......"

"According to what you say, Genghis Khan is invincible in the world?"

Zhao Hong's words were directly interrupted by Yan Chun angrily and rudely.

"Not necessarily. For example, the Mamluk cavalry of Egypt, the Mongol cavalry was no opponent. These Mamluk cavalrymen, all slaves, had been trained all their lives, they were skilled in riding and archery, wearing helmets made of stainless steel, wearing chain mail, better equipment than the Mongol heavy cavalry, strong bows had a longer range than the Mongol bows, and their mounts were Arab horses with long legs and amazing sprinting speed. Coupled with the sharp Damascus scimitars in their hands, they can cut off the sheep at the waist! ”

Zhao Hong introduced it with great interest and saliva.

"Saliva!"

Yan Chun leaned back an octave in disgust to avoid the disaster of the pond fish.

"That's why you said in the court, what kind of firearms you want to smelt iron and forge firearms."

"You know these things, too?"

Zhao Hong asked in surprise.

It's only been a few days, how come these things in the court have spread to the people?

"Iron smelting, casting firearms, and official prostitutes and prostitutes come to the door to collect debts, etc., the tabloids in Lin'an City have already shaken out your ugly things!"

Yan Chun glanced at Zhao Hong coldly, very disdainful.

"I've been stupid all day long, and I don't know anything. has offended so many people, and is still smiling, the heart is really big! ”

"Little lady Yan, you didn't come to my house to mock me, did you? My life is not easy! ”

Zhao Hong smiled bitterly, but he couldn't get angry.

What Yan Chun said was the truth, he just wanted to oppose it, and he had nothing to say.

The tabloids, as expected, are ruined and have huge lethality.
