The first snow of winter began to blow and it fell overnight.

In the early morning, the snow is slowing down.

At the gates of the city, two people, a carriage.

Zhao Mocheng was wearing a dark blue cloak, which made his body longer and thinner.

He stood still in the snow, his gaze resting on the city gate.

Qin Shang held an umbrella and waited with him.

Half an hour later, Zhao Mocheng slowly retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"Let's go."

"My lord, do you want to wait any longer?" Qin Shang was a little sad.

Zhao Mocheng shook his head, turned around and got into the carriage.

Qin Shang put away the umbrella, put away the footstool together, sat in front of the car and raised the horsewhip: "Drive!" ”

The white snow squeaked and creaked, leaving two ruts that were fading away.

Ye Nian walked out from a shelter on the city wall.

Looking down at the carriage traveling far away, his expression was indifferent, and the loneliness in his eyes was clearly seen by Yuliu and Ziyun.

"Master, look!"

A woman following behind the carriage caught Yuliu's attention.

Ziyun was a little surprised: "Look, it's like... Shen Qianhan? ”

The woman hid in a tea shed not far from the city gates.

A plain cloak with only a small blue cloth bag on his back.

When he saw the carriage coming, he hurriedly put on his hood, and left with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Fortunately, it is difficult to walk on snowy and muddy roads.

Fortunately, the speed of the carriage was not fast.

A smile gradually appeared on Ye Nian's lips, and she turned around, "Go back." ”

"Yes!"

Yuliu and Ziyun glanced at each other, their expressions relaxed, and they flew down after her.

As soon as the three of them arrived at Yueju, they saw a carriage parked at the door.

A palace man got out of the carriage, and before he could go in to report, he saw Ye Nian saluting respectfully and hurriedly put the footstool under the car.

Ye Nianzheng was puzzled, and saw Xiao Jin's big face poking out from behind the car curtain, gritting his teeth and smiling at her!

##

In Chonghua Palace, Luo Guifei looked at Xiao Siyu sitting at the table, and couldn't help but shake her head, people who couldn't be seen in the shadow of busy people on weekdays were here early in the morning.

"Are you so idle today?"

Xiao Siyu was calm: "Take a day off today." ”

Luo Guifei unceremoniously dismantled him with disgust: "The palace has just arranged a carriage for Jin'er to pick up people, and it will take half an hour at the earliest!" ”

"It's okay, it's rare to be able to talk to my mother."

The tea in Luo Guifei's mouth almost squirted out, you are sitting here for almost a stick of incense, but you can say a word!

It wasn't until Ye Nian was led into Chonghua Palace by Xiao Jin that the corners of Xiao Siyu's mouth smiled.

"Ye Nian see the concubine Niangniang! I don't know what the mother commands? ”

Ye Nian leaned over and saluted.

Luo Guifei hurriedly stepped forward to help her up: "Jin'er is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, today I just sit together and have a light meal, the little general doesn't need to be formal!" ”

Ye Nian was stunned for a moment and looked at Xiao Jin: "Tomorrow?" ”

Xiao Jin smiled and nodded at her.

She came back to her senses and excused herself: "How can you disturb the mother and son, the last general should retreat first!" ”

"Didn't the little general have a grudge against the palace, so he didn't want to sit at the same table?"

"Mother! You're scared of Ah Nian! Xiao Jin stepped forward and took Luo Guifei's hand and muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Luo Guifei burst out laughing, "Little general, sit down!" ”

"Inform the Imperial Dining Room to prepare lunch!"

"Yes! Empress! Nijin replied.

Concubine Luo took Ye Nian's hand and arranged her next to Xiao Siyu.

"The little general is a noble person of my Luo family, whether it is Yu'er or my brother, they have received your favor, today the palace replaces wine with tea, and toasts the little general!"

After Luo Guifei finished speaking, she drank the tea in the cup.

Ye Nian was about to get up, but was held down by Xiao Siyu.

He smiled lightly and said, "Ah Nian can afford it!" ”

Ye Nian drank all the wine in the cup nervously.

"This palace used to be self-righteous and did a lot of wrong things, so I implore the little general not to blame!"

Ye Nian hurriedly got up and hugged his fists and replied: "Niangniang's words are serious, Ye Nian doesn't dare to be!" ”

"Mother, if you do this again, Ah Nian is afraid that he won't dare to eat!"

Luo Guifei laughed when she heard this, "Do you still live outside the General's Mansion?" ”

Ye Nian was a little puzzled, glanced at Xiao Siyu, and saw that his expression was a little unnatural, and immediately understood that this dog thing must have been told to Luo Guifei and Pan.

But since she knew that she was not married, why did Concubine Luo suddenly lose her hostility?

She pondered, "Back to her mother, since Ye Nian is married, she is naturally not suitable for living in her mother's house." ”

"Blame him for not doing it properly!" Luo Guifei glared at Xiao Siyu and looked at her with a loving expression: "Ye Zhao will also leave Beijing tomorrow, you should go back and have a look in the next two days." ”

Ye Nian's heart was sour, and he nodded.

She raised her eyes to look at Xiao Jin: "Can you pack up your things?" ”

When he said this, he regretted it, thinking that he was another sentence 'The rich world is my family.' ’

Who knew that Xiao Jin just looked at her with a shallow smile and nodded: "It's all right." ”

He filled the teacup, gently put it in her hand, and added, "You are not allowed to deliver it this time!" ”

Looking at the persistence in his eyes, Ye Nian nodded.

"But when I triumph, you'll all have to pick it up! Do you hear that? ”

She couldn't hold back her laughter, and Concubine Luo also laughed.

Xiao Siyu looked at him with a serious look, and his eyes were soft: "If you are triumphant, the Son of Heaven will welcome you!" Naturally, we all have to go. ”

Xiao Jin was a little proud, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and looked at Ye Nian: "I forgot to ask you just now, what did you do early in the morning?" ”

Xiao Siyu raised his eyebrows slightly, Zhao Mocheng is leaving Beijing today......

"I went to see Zhao Mocheng, but I didn't see him." She replied calmly.

Xiao Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and handed it to his lips.

"It's a pity that it's a rare talent!" Concubine Luo shook her head.

Xiao Jin disagreed, "Being young and having more experience is not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Luo Guifei smiled lightly, and suddenly her expression changed slightly: "I suddenly feel that Zhao Mocheng is like a person!" ”

Ye Nian's heart moved: "Can you know Zhao Yanshu?" ”

Luo Guifei suddenly, "Yes, yes, yes!" It's Zhao Yanshu! Looks very similar! ”

"They are father and son."

Luo Guifei was not too surprised, she was silent for two breaths, shook her head and smiled: "The temperament is far behind, Zhao Mocheng is not as good as his father." ”

Ye Nian was a little curious, "Niangniang, can you tell me about Zhao Yanshu?" ”

Xiao Siyu and Xiao Jin also looked at it at the same time and became interested.

Luo Guifei sighed slightly and nodded: "Zhao Yanshu was born in a poor family, and at the age of sixteen, he came to the capital from a remote mountain town in Chenzhou to participate in the examination, and won the championship in one fell swoop without any suspense. Bengong saw him once at the palace banquet, gentle and elegant, a humble son, it is difficult to think that he was born poor and alone since childhood. The emperor liked him very much, and wanted to marry Princess Wende to him, but Zhao Yanshu refused, only saying that he already had a favorite person in his hometown, and he would go back to marry her after he got fame. ”

Ye Nian asked, "Was the emperor angry that he arranged him to Rongcheng?" ”

Concubine Luo Guifei shook her head: "The emperor is not so stingy, on the contrary, he appreciates his temperament even more, and wants to keep him by his side, not only gave him and his sweetheart marriage, but also let him enter the Ministry of Labor in just two years......"

Xiao Siyu had already investigated Zhao Mocheng's life experience clearly, and naturally knew why Zhao Yanshu went to Rongcheng.

He took over and said: "Back then, the six Shangshu were Shen Bingwen, and the six were his henchmen, Zhao Yanshu was unmoved by coercion and temptation, and he also drastically rectified the corrupt personnel of the Ministry of Industry, and it was also from here that he laid a disaster for himself, and he was excluded and suppressed by his colleagues for less than a year, and he was impeached by countless folds, and finally he was demoted to Rongcheng. ”

Ye Nian frowned: "Didn't the emperor investigate?" ”

Xiao Siyu didn't answer, and Luo Guifei spoke: "Little general, you misunderstood the emperor, it is too rigid and easy to break, Zhao Yanshu doesn't understand, but the emperor understands!" Transferring him to Rongcheng is just to protect him, the emperor just wants him to live before the officialdom grows, away from the center of the battle, and after three or five years of training, he will definitely be recalled, but he didn't expect it to ......"

"Zhao Yanshu's talent is amazing, almost all the women in the boudoir back then had his poetry collection, alas, it's a pity!"

Ye Nian was a little indignant in his heart, Rong Cheng was trapped back then, and the urgent documents could not be delivered to the emperor for a long time, it must be Shen Bingwen who was the obstruction!

This old puppet is damned!

Xiao Siyu lightly pressed her hand, Ye Nian raised his eyes and glanced at him, clearly saw the helplessness in his eyes, and immediately understood that his father was right back then.

If it had been thoroughly investigated back then, without evidence, Zhao Yanshu's treason charge would have been implemented, maybe this was Shen Bingwen's ultimate goal, but he didn't expect his father to be able to turn things around!

"Do you know that Zhao Yanshu is your father's best friend? Back then, Ye Zhao almost lost his life for Zhao Yanshu! ”
