Chapter 21

On the day of the poetry meeting, Nie Liwen waited for a whole day, but never saw Chu Yuan coming.

The friends around him were fighting poetry and fighting, but he was a little absent-minded.

"Something on your mind?" Someone on the side was concerned and asked.

Nie Liwen sighed, "A little friend hasn't arrived, and I don't know what the situation is." ”

After that, he suddenly got up and said goodbye to everyone, "The old man is going to find this little friend, please take care of yourself, I am angry that the old man is not well entertained, I hope you will forgive me." ”

The crowd hurriedly got up and saluted him in return, and watched him go.

Nie Liwen got into a small sedan chair and went to King Li's mansion.

Uncle Mao learned that Nie Yanwen had arrived at the door, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Nie Xiang, my prince has not returned to the house yet, you come in and sit for a while, have a cup of tea, and the old slave will send someone to call the prince."

Nie Liwen directly refused, "No need, the old man didn't come to him." ”

"Princess Li is in the mansion?"

Nie Liwen stood at the door, standing with his hands in his hands, not smiling.

Uncle Mao paused, and then said with a smile: "Here, the princess is playing chess with Ning Shizi, and specially instructed her subordinates not to disturb them." ”

The meaning of his words was obvious, Chu Yuan didn't have time to see him now.

Nie Liwen glanced at Uncle Mao, "That old man will be the uninvited person today, and he will lead the way." ”

Uncle Mao saw that he was resolute, so he had to take him to Baochun Courtyard.

Chu Yuan and Ning Yuqiang were sitting in the courtyard playing chess, with a charcoal basin at their feet, and Chu Yuan also held a small stove in his hand, but his hands and feet were still cold.

"Cousin, it's your turn." Ning Yuqiang looked up and smiled at him.

Chu Yuan secretly rubbed his fingertips, and was about to fall when he picked up the white zi, and Nie Yanwen had already walked into the courtyard.

"Princess, Nie Xiang is here." Uncle Mao shouted from the side.

Chu Yuan was stunned, and when he looked up, Nie Yuwen had already walked in front of him.

Chu Yuan hurriedly got up, his expression was slightly flustered and self-reproachful, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.

Ning Yuqiang also stood up, looking at Nie Liwen with bright eyes, "Isn't Nie Xiang holding a poetry meeting today, how can he have time to come here?" ”

Ning Yuqiang, as a scholar and an outstanding disciple of the generation of Cangyun Academy, admired Nie Liwen in his heart, but he was still young and was not qualified to participate in the poetry meeting for the time being.

Nie Liwen ignored Ning Yuqiang, he glanced at the chessboard, and then looked at Chu Yuan's hands folded in front of him, his brows furrowed, "My fingers are frozen red, and I am still playing chess in this cold and snowy place, pretending to be elegant, joking with my body, it's just nonsense!" ”

The smile on Ning Yuqiang's face froze, and he bit his lower lip.

The request to play chess was made by him, if Chu Yuan said it, Nie Liwen would definitely scold him and have a bad impression of him, so how could he enter the poetry club in the future and get higher fame and praise?

He looked at Chu Yuan pleadingly, hoping that he wouldn't tell Nie Yanwen.

Chu Yuan didn't intend to tell the truth, although Nie Liwen's words were accusations, but the words were full of concern for the elders, Chu Yuan's heart warmed when he heard it, and he quietly hid his fingers in his sleeve, not wanting the old man to worry.

"The old man has already seen it, and it's useless for you to hide it." Nie Liwen looked around and began to get angry again, "The dignified Princess Li, she actually lives in such a shabby and humble place, where is the bastard King Li worthy of a wife, he should die alone and die alone." ”

Uncle Mao's old face collapsed when he heard this, and he was very unhappy.

Chu Yuan couldn't help but smile when he saw the old man angry, "Nie Xiang doesn't have to worry about the juniors, the juniors don't think this place is shabby, but it is a good place to be clean and comfortable." ”

Nie Liwen snorted and said no more.

As soon as he came in, he understood that Lu Ronghuai didn't care about his male wife, and threw people in this remote corner, saying that it was clean and elegant if it sounded good, and it was ugly, what is the difference between this and the cold palace in the palace?

"The old man asked you, why didn't you come to the poetry club today?" Nie Liwen looked at him.

Ning Yuqiang was shocked, his volume unconsciously increased, and he screamed: "What? He was able to participate in the poetry meeting? ”

Chu Yuan lowered his head, the loneliness on his face flashed, and he said softly: "The younger generation is not talented, what he has learned is not the skin, and it is inevitable that he will be ashamed of himself if he goes." ”

Nie Liwen felt that this was not his truth.

"With the old man here, you don't need to compose poems, just go for a while, why not?"

Chu Yuan pinched his fingertips, slightly forced, his nails carved with flesh, and tried his best to suppress the sourness in his heart.

"Thank you Nie Xiang's love, I ......"

"You come here, the others don't have to follow." Nie Liwen interrupted him and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

Chu Yuan walked with him to the gate of the courtyard.

Nie Liwen glanced at the people in the courtyard, and then looked at Chu Yuan.

"The first time the old man saw you, he thought you were a good boy, there was no one else at the moment, and you don't have to worry."

Chu Yuan listened quietly, and then listened to Nie Liwen speak.

"If you have any grievances, just tell the old man, and the old man will make the decision for you."

"What does Nie Xiang want to do for the princess of this king?" A cold and indifferent voice sounded behind the two of them.

Lu Ronghuai walked over and stared at the two of them with a calm face.

"This king was originally unsure, but now he is very sure, Nie is very concerned about the princess of this king, why, the two knew each other before?"

"King Li doesn't want to talk nonsense, the old man just fell in love with the princess, and the princess didn't go to the meeting today, so the old man came to see the situation."

Lu Ronghuai's face was indifferent, "The princess herself refuses to go, of course this king will not force him to go, right, princess?" ”

Chu Yuan pursed his lips and made a very light and faint "um" sound.

Nie Liwen knew in his heart that Lu Ronghuai was here today, and he couldn't ask the result.

"In that case, the old man will take his leave first." Nie Yuwen said, turned around and walked two steps, stopped again, and looked at Chu Yuan, "Tomorrow's Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, the princess will go, right?" ”

"He's not going." Lu Ronghuai's voice cannot be refused.

Chu Yuan lowered his eyes and hid the self-deprecation in his eyes.

He clenched the hand in his sleeve and said calmly: "Lord Wang, if you have nothing to do, the minister will go back first." ”

He turned and walked back into the house with his head down.

When he passed by Ning Yuqiang's side, he didn't see the resentment and jealousy flashing in Ning Yuqiang's eyes.

Nie Liwen strode out of the palace, and after getting into the car, he ordered the little servant to follow.

"Go and send a letter to the eldest young master, and ask him to return to Yejing as soon as he gets the letter."

The little guy was embarrassed, "The eldest young master travels all over the world, his whereabouts are uncertain, and the little one doesn't know where to send it." ”

"Send it to Xiangcheng, he will pass by there every time he comes back."

"Yes, sir."

Here, Ning Yuqiang followed Lu Ronghuai back to the front hall.

"Don't go to Baochun Courtyard if you have nothing to do in the future." After Lu Ronghuai sat down, he spoke.

Ning Yuqiang was happy in his heart, but his face showed a look of surprise and confusion, "Why didn't my cousin let me go?" Does my cousin not like my cousin? ”

This question again.

Lu Ronghuai felt annoyed, and one or two paid attention to these boring things.

How do you like it, and what do you dislike?

In his twenty-one years of life, he never thought about the relationship between his children and daughters, he had a lot to do, and there were dangers around him all the time, deceit, conspiracy and calculation, all of which required him to deal with them with 120,000 spirits.

But Chu Yuan is an exception.

He knew it in his own heart.

The author has something to say:

Lu Ronghuai: This king doesn't want to pay attention to you, but this king can't control his eyes.

Yuan Yuan: It is recommended to dig →_→

Chapter 22

Chinese New Year's Eve.

Yejing Avenue is full of lights and is very lively.

Red lanterns hung high on the ridge of the roof, stretching for miles.

The palace was also full of joy.

Emperor Hongjia set up a banquet in the Qianzheng Palace, entertained the ministers, burned the earth dragon in the hall, smoked incense and fragrant, drums and music were magnificent, the eunuchs and maids rushed in, and arranged the wine and delicacies in an orderly manner.

Just after the hour, the ministers had arrived, and the tips of their hair were still covered with snowflakes.

They braved the wind and snow to enter the palace at night, and after coping with this banquet of monarchs and ministers, they had to go home before the third watch and accompany their families to keep vigil.

After a short time, Emperor Hongjia entered the palace with the concubines.

The ministers knelt down and bowed, chanting Wanfu Jin'an in their mouths, and wishing the land country and the people peace, wind and rain.

Emperor Hongjia was very happy and raised his glass, "You Aiqing are flat and have a drink with me." ”
