Northern Yan, the imperial capital of Pingcheng.

A man is sprinkling bait in the back garden to tease the fish, he is wearing a crimson gown, one hand is holding a royal blue feather fan and slowly fanning, and a maid stands quietly on the side, holding a stack of bait in her hand.

The bait in the hand of the feather fan man kept swaying into the lake, the carp jumped, competing for each other, and the lake rippled, like a colorful wave, quietly forming in the lake.

This person is Zhu Zhiwen, the third prince of the Zhu family who stayed in Beiyan after separating from Zhang Yuanyi.

Since the separation of the three groups, Zhu Zhiwen has been staying in the imperial palace of Pingcheng, the imperial capital of Beiyan, obviously the prince of Xuanling, but he lives the most chic in the palaces of other countries.

Zhu Zhiwen sprinkled a handful of bait into the pool, and the maid next to him slowly changed a large stack of bait in his hands, a little flustered, in fact, if he wasn't afraid that the bait prepared would not be enough for him to throw away, he really wanted to sprinkle it one by one.

But to tell the truth, the fish pond in the back garden of the Beiyan Palace is still slightly better than his Xuanling, the pavilions and small buildings, the Zhu Xie carvings, the lotus leaves are fluttering, the breeze is slow, and the artistic conception is still very wonderful.

Zhu Zhiwen sprinkled the bait, and the bait jumped on the lotus leaf and slowly slid down into the fish pond, rippling a circle of ripples, and the sound was pleasant.

But he sighed regretfully, grabbed a handful and slammed it into the lotus leaf, the bait was like a mustard seed, there was no sound of jumping, and finally showed a satisfied smile.

The ordinary maid pulled the corners of her mouth, but she didn't dare to say a word.

Zhu Zhiwen said: "Lao Zheng, I found that there is still a big difference between the summer of this Beiyan and our Xuanling." The wind that blew that day in Xuanling was like blowing out of a steamer, and it was so hot that people felt like they were about to be steamed, but the summer breeze of Beiyan only brought people coolness. ”

The bald old Zheng replied: "The wind of our Xuanling is blowing from the Longxi Desert, it is inevitable that it will be dry and hot, and the wind of Beiyan is blowing from the north, where there is snow and ice for thousands of years, it must be cool." ”

Zhu Zhiwen smiled, stretched his waist, and said with a nostalgic face: "So I still miss our Xuanling, here is that the woman is a little smart, and the others are not happy." ”

Summer doesn't have the heat of summer, so what's the point of summer.

When Zhu Zhiwen said this, the royal blue feather fan in his hand knocked on the forehead of the maid on the side, and the feather fan gently swiped like outlining a picture, from the snow-white forehead to the tender cheeks, and finally stopped at the chin, the feather fan hooked, gently holding up her chin, her eyes were evil and straightforward, and she asked in a continuous tone: "You said yes, Xiaolan." ”

The maid named Xiaolan, she was wearing a beige-colored seeping needle silver hook halo heavenly incense silk and dark wheat green woven mat embroidered wide-sleeved four-warp twisted robby armor, the lower garment swayed slightly was actually a Yunlong eight auspicious satin skirt, white as green hands wearing polished carnelian nail buckles, lightly hanging buckles with buckle Ruyi pile embroidered sachets, a pair of treasure pattern cloud head sleeping shoes, her face was shy, she lowered her head and replied softly: "Yes, Zhu Gongzi." ”

Zhu Zhiwen's cheek slowly approached Xiaolan, Xiaolan looked nervous, but she didn't dare to escape without permission, her little face was so delicate that it seemed to be dripping, she could only close her eyes, she didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Zhiwen, and her whole body trembled slightly!

After a while, Zhu Zhiwen tapped her forehead on the feather fan again, and said with a bright smile: "What do you want?

Xiaolan opened her eyes with a confused face, and her watery eyes were full of puzzlement.

Zhu Zhiwen took the bait saucer in her hand, grabbed a large handful and slammed it into the fish pond, and said, "Go and get me some bait, there is still not enough bait here." ”

Little Rande ordered and tiptoed away.

At this time, a handsome young man in a black gilt robe came in the distance, and he arrived before he arrived, "Brother Zhu is so elegant today, I usually don't go out when I see you, and I thought that the maids under him were not in place to serve and were not well entertained!"

Zhu Zhiwen turned his head to look and greeted, "Meet the second prince." ”

The man smiled and nodded, "Brother Zhu doesn't have to be polite, you are a guest in Beiyan, and the guest is first." ”

Zhu Zhiwen laughed, "Brother Tuoba, we really hate to see each other late, we like your temperament, and it is like old at first sight." ”

Tuoba Xingyu, the second prince of Northern Yan.

Although the emperor of Beiyan is already very old, he is obviously not enough to give birth to children, and he has given birth to a total of four children, the eldest prince Tuoba Jingcheng is about the same age as Zhu Zhiwen, and the second prince Tuoba Xingyu is four or five years younger than Zhu Zhiwen, and he is a young man.

The youngest of the four princes, even just learned to speak, and he couldn't walk steadily.

Therefore, the old emperor of Beiyan is also a talent, when he was young, he was not busy pondering "kung fu", but when he was old, he made great achievements, and gave birth to several sons at once, envying others.

I don't know how long I can live, and who will spend this throne?

Tuoba Xingyu said: "I have long heard that there is a third prince in Xuanling, who does not want to stay in the palace to enjoy the glory and wealth, but likes to travel to the rivers and lakes, and admires it for a long time. ”

He was young, his voice was clear, and he sounded beautiful and very pleasant.

Zhu Zhiwen blossomed when he heard the music, "Why do you kid dare to be interested in the rivers and lakes? ”

Tuoba Xingyu's eyes were full of starry light and expectation, but they were extinguished in an instant, and he complained: "Alas, I would like to go, but my father will definitely not agree." ”

Zhu Zhiwen instantly understood, there are only four princes in total, the third prince and the fourth prince are still little ghosts, not to mention which one is lost, it is all meat if you lose one, and it is not an exaggeration to grieve the whole country.

He comforted: "Forget it, when you grow up in the future, I will come to play with you again." ”

He looked at Lao Zheng beside him, and the other party nodded, and said, "Since you are here today, I bother you to tell the emperor and that gentleman, Zhu Zhiwen will say goodbye and come back another day." ”

It's normal for a guest to be leaving, and it's normal to tell the emperor, but it's interesting to tell the gentleman again.

Tuoba Xingyu looked regretful, "It's only been a few days, I'm leaving, let's stay longer." ”

It's been a few days, but it's actually been months, and Juchwin has been bored every day for a few months, and he has long wanted to leave.

But it's not allowed above, that's right, it's not allowed above!

Zhu Zhiwen's visit to Beiyan is not just to escape, it is said that it is good to be a guest, and if it is ugly, it can be regarded as another form of house arrest.

And the opportunity for Zhu Zhiwen to leave freely all lies in Lao Zheng, as long as Lao Zheng gets the news, he can leave, except for Datang, the world and the earth travel at will.

Although Xuanling and Beiyan are allies on the surface, in the final analysis, everything is established on the basis of interests, and there will be no free lunch in the world, but I don't know what this group of guys has discussed and traded.

Anyway, he, the third prince of waste, is already used to it, and if the two sides can't get along, they sacrifice him to the sky, which doesn't seem to be a big deal.

Tuoba Xingyu knew that he couldn't keep it, so he hurriedly asked, "Then where is Brother Zhu going to go?"

Zhu Zhiwen raised his eyes and looked into the distance and said, "I have always wanted to appreciate the Wanzhang Glacier in the north for so many years, and it is good to take this opportunity to take a look." ”

In fact, his real purpose is to go and see his friend Zhang Yuanyi, as for Binghe, he is just incidental.

The little boy is still so innocent in his mind, looking at the various causal interest disputes involved behind him, he just wants to go outside to play, wants to listen more to the reality of the rivers and lakes, and yearns for the people who are full of pride and ambition.

What Zhu Zhiwen didn't say was that in addition to the wanton chic ambition of the rivers and lakes, there are more sneaky flies and dogs, in addition to the love between foxes and scholars, more ghosts dig out the hearts of mortals.

Of course, Zhu Zhiwen will not tell him about the secret pickles, which is tantamount to extinguishing his expectations and yearning with his own hands, if people have no expectations and yearnings, what is the difference between them and the walking dead?

Tuoba Xingyu said sadly: "Then Brother Zhu take care, have a good journey, and come to play often in the future!"

Zhu Zhiwen touched Tuoba Xingyu's head, and said with a smile: "You grow up quickly, eat more meat, and when you and I don't have to be disturbed by these powers, let's go to the rivers and lakes together." ”

It's just that I don't know how long it will take, and whether he will be able to live until then?

At this time, Xiaolan had already taken a stack of bait again, Zhu Zhiwen hurriedly glanced at Lao Zheng, and said in a somewhat panicked tone: "Brother Xingyu, let's go first, and there will be a period later!"

Tuoba Xingyu looked at the fresh bait that had just been served, and asked, "Take the bait?"

Zhu Zhiwen rose into the sky, went away, and said loudly: "You can keep it and feed it slowly!"

Lao Zheng took Zhu Zhiwen to the wind, maybe he felt that it was too slow, and he raised a few more successes, but he couldn't see the figure in a blink of an eye, and "ran away"!

Tuoba Xingyu was helpless, picked up a handful of bait and walked to the edge of the pool, feed it slowly, so many bait can be fed at once.

Then the next scene made him dumbfounded, only to see a large area of lotus leaves in the pool falling into the pool water, and there was an extremely obvious big hole on it, which was obviously smashed out by bait!

As for the lotus flowers, there is no one in ten, the petals float on the lake at will, and there are few lonely remaining lotus flowers, which are also withered and decayed, and there is no beauty at all!

What's even more exaggerated is that a large group of carp are under this overwhelming feeding, one by one, with a big belly, turning white and floating on the surface of the lake, obviously not holding up!

Where is this feeding fish and appreciating flowers, it is clearly killing fish and destroying flowers!

Tuoba Xingyu sighed and said, "Alas, a beautiful pool of beautiful scenery has been ruined like this, what kind of sin has this been created? No wonder he escaped so quickly just now." ”

He put the bait back in his hand and said to the maid, "Tell a few people to clean up this place." ”

"Yes!" said Rande, who ordered to leave.

Xiaolan left for a long time, and Tuoba Xingyu looked at the "grand scene" in the pool, shook his head, and couldn't help laughing.

But smiling and smiling, the smile gradually solidified, and he muttered softly: "Zhu Zhiwen? ”
