Fang Linyuan named the pony Liuhuo, but in just a few years, he developed the most beautiful horse that was famous in the capital.

At that time, Fang Linyuan was also over seventeen years old.

Spring grass Yinyin, it is the most prosperous time of spring in Beijing, he gallops on the polo field by the Qujiang Pond alone, and he is the most dazzling young man in Beijing.

On the court, it is the most prestigious prince of the Wang family, who can't beat him.

The gong sounded on the field, and this time, Fang Linyuan won three points against the son of the Wang family again, and he won very beautifully.

The sound of cheers sounded from all around the arena, and Fang Linyuan took the club behind him, raised his hand and touched the smooth mane.

Wang Chang's voice came from not far away.

"Good boy, I haven't seen you for many days, and I'm still so ruthless when I play." He complained to Fang Linyuan with a smile, raised his hand and threw the club to the entourage not far away, and when he turned his head, he happened to see the tall and brilliant carriage by the pool.

"His Royal Highness in the palace has also come to see?" He was a little surprised.

I heard the entourage next to him laugh and said, "Yes, it's the Fifth Highness." Just now the front foot on the field started, and he arrived on the back foot. ”

"The ...... of the Five Highnesses"

When Wang Chang heard this, his eyes followed and looked towards Fang Linyuan.

Sure enough, the second son of Fang turned over and jumped off the horse, and with a club in one hand, he walked straight towards the carriage.

"Sure enough, I came to see Fang Linyuan again!" Wang Chang gritted his teeth. "Fang Linyuan, this kid is only afraid that he will make a lot of money again, see you next time, I have to let him treat me to a good meal!"

"How can Fang Gongzi make money, Fang Gongzi was playing polo on the field just now." The attendant asked with a smile.

"What else do you know?" Wang Chang kicked him.

"Fifth Highness is here, when didn't he bet heavily on Fang Linyuan!"

——

Fang Linyuan lifted the curtain and saw Zhao Pu making tea inside.

He sat behind a small table in the carriage, carrying a white jade teapot in his slender hand. The light shone through the flower window of the carriage, one by one, and when he raised his eyes, he saw a pair of peach-blossom-shaped eyes under the golden jade crown.

The fragrance of tea and the crispy aroma of sweet snacks come to the face, and the smell is the craftsmanship of the prince.

In an instant, Fang Linyuan's eyes lit up.

"You're out of the palace today!" Fang Linyuan leaned over and got into the carriage.

I saw Zhao Xuan nodded, and put the brewed tea in front of him: "I came to this palace to set up a banquet on behalf of the emperor, and I just heard that you are competing here, so I came to take a look." ”

Fang Linyuan's eyes narrowed with laughter.

"How! I won three in a row just now, and this time it's a good thing. ”

I saw Zhao Pu nodding his head: "It's a beautiful fight, I saw it." ”

"You don't even ask what the jackpot is!" Fang Linyuan was holding the teacup, his eyes were full of hope, and he stared straight at Zhao Pu.

Zhao Pu hooked his lips, turned his head and asked him, "What is it?" ”

Fang Linyuan slapped his thigh.

"The true handiwork of Mr. Shigeyama!" He said. "There are twelve volumes in total, and I see that there are only eleven volumes in your palace? This is the last volume, and when you get it together, it's a complete set! ”

I saw Zhao Xuan paused slightly and looked at him.

"You won for me?" He asked.

"yes." Fang Linyuan didn't think twice. "Hmm...... Probably not all. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Pu looked at him and waited for his next step.

"After all, in Beijing, there is nothing interesting except playing polo." Fang Linyuan said. "Unlike my brother, who is at the border every year, can train soldiers, and has so many Turkic soldiers waiting for him to fight, wouldn't it be happier than staying in the capital."

Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan couldn't help but sigh.

I saw Zhao Pu looking at him, his eyes paused slightly, and he didn't make a sound for a moment.

He's heard about it, too.

Fang Linyuan gradually reached his age, and he didn't plan to take a scientific examination, he wanted to play His Majesty several times in the past two years, and asked to go to the border to practice.

Zhao Pu knew that he should go there. Since he was a child, he has memorized military books like a stream, and he has been planning and arguing about thousands of troops, which is not something that the capital can display.

It's just that......

He looked at Fang Linyuan, and it was difficult to explain the emotions in his heart for a while.

It wasn't until there was a knock on the door outside the carriage that Zhao Pu was pulled back from his contemplation.

The door opened, Fang Linyuan took the brocade box handed by the attendant, opened it and looked at it, and handed it to Zhao Pu.

"Oh, I'm sending you!"

His depression was fleeting, and when he looked at Zhao Pu at this time, he smiled brightly.

Zhao Xuan took the brocade box with one hand and raised his eyes to look at Fang Linyuan.

"What's wrong?" Fang Linyuan asked him.

Zhao Pu was silent and shook his head for a moment.

"Nothing." He said.

——

When he returned to the palace on this day, Zhao Xuan was called to the Chengqian Hall by Dou Qingyi.

Such a trivial matter as holding a banquet and communicating, she handed it over to Zhao Pu very early on, and she never asked.

It's the same this time.

As soon as Zhao Pu stood still in his seat, Dou Qingyi raised his eyes and looked at him

eye, he pointed to the stack of scrolls on his desk, and said, "These are sent by the minister of the Ministry of Rites, you can take them back and see them yourself." ”

Zhao Pu stepped forward and saw the stack of scrolls, all wrapped in crimson silk.

"What is this?" His eyebrows moved, he picked up one of them from above, and untied the silk on it with one hand.

"They said you were about to reach your age, so you should prepare for the marriage proposal as soon as possible." Dou Qingyi didn't raise his eyes.

"I don't have any requirements for the appearance of the door, even if they send it, you can look through it yourself, and if you like it, you can go and see it on a certain day."

In the afterglow, Zhao Pu's action of dismantling the scroll stopped.

Dou Qingyi raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that he was holding the scroll in one hand, his face expressionless.

"What's wrong?" Dou Qingyi asked him.

saw him wrap the silk silk back up, and put it back on Dou Qingyi's table.

"You don't have to look at it." Just listen to him. "The mother emperor called me today, if this is the only thing, then the son will retire first."

Dou Qingyi looked at him twice, for a moment, nodded, and said, "Then go back." ”

Zhao Pu saluted and turned to leave.

When the door of the hall closed in front of him, Dou Qingyi raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his forehead, and instructed Song Yan next to him: "Send someone to send these portraits back to the Ministry of Rites." ”

Song Yan stepped forward and said with a smile: "Presumably, His Royal Highness is still young, and before the time to open his mind, he can wait for another two years." ”

Dou Qingyi rubbed his forehead with one hand, and for a moment, his eyes fell on the stack of portraits.

"I don't think so." She said.

"Your Majesty means ......"

"He left the palace today, and he went to see the Fang family's son playing again?" Dou Qingyi asked.

Songyan hesitated: "Yes." ”

"Hmm." Dou Qingyi responded, but in Songyan's expectant gaze, there was no follow-up.

——

The Ministry of Rites is already preparing for the Fifth Highness's meeting.

The news soon spread inside and outside the palace. Those princes and courtiers who have school-age daughters in their families, all of whom are ready to move, are asking the Ministry of Rites for news.

Fang Linyuan naturally heard about it as well.

"I heard that the Fifth Highness is very picky. The portraits sent by the Ministry of Rites seem to have been returned, which means that none of the five highnesses are matched. "Said a son of a family who was playing together." My father was so happy that he invited a painter into the house overnight to paint a portrait of my sister. ”

"Didn't your sister say that she was going to go on a scientific expedition?" Someone asked.

"Oops, the scientific examination is the second sister, and the portrait is the third sister." The boy said. "Besides, who doesn't know the identity of the Fifth Highness? is to marry him as a concubine, and in the future, she will also enter the palace as a mother, isn't this a great honor? ”

Everyone around nodded in agreement.

"It's just a pity." The boy sighed. "I don't know His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness well, otherwise I would have told him in private, and I could let him know my sister first."

Speaking of this, he touched Fang Linyuan with his shoulder: "It's a pity for you, you have the best relationship with the Fifth Highness, but you are a man in the family." ”

Fang Linyuan seemed to be a little distracted, and he only came back to his senses when he touched him.

Zhao Pu is going to get married, so early?

For some reason, he was in a trance, and in the trance, he couldn't be happy.

He smiled and nodded, turning the topic around.

However, it is only a lip service.

In the next few days, every time he saw Zhao Pu, Fang Linyuan would think of Zhao Pu's marriage.

As a result, he was always wandering and absent-minded, and even the pastries that Zhao Pu brought to him, the most popular pastries of the prince, had no appetite for food for a while.

Finally, on this day, after he ate half of the pastry and put it down, Zhao Pu pressed one hand on his wrist.

Fang Linyuan was taken aback by him.

"What's wrong?"

When he raised his eyes, he saw Zhao Pu looking at him, his gaze was deep, which made him panic involuntarily.

"It's up to me to ask you." I just listened to Zhao Pu say. "What's wrong with you?"

"Me?" Fang Linyuan pointed at himself inexplicably.

"You've been dead for days." Zhao Pu said bluntly.

Fang Linyuan blinked.

This one......

He himself did not know.

A good friend is about to get married, and I'm always thinking absent-mindedly, what's the reason?

He opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Who is it that is difficult for you, or is there some trouble?" saw that Zhao Pu's eyebrows had been twisted.

Fang Linyuan hurriedly waved his hand.

"It's not!" He said. "It's ......"

He looked at Zhao Pu for a moment and asked in a low voice.

"The ...... that the Ministry of Rites gave you? You don't like it all, huh? ”

"What?"

"Portrait." Fang Linyuan looked at him and whispered.

"A portrait of a pro-family." ：，，.
