Overwhelming mountains and rivers

It has been raining in spring in the south of the Yangtze River all day long. On the small road in the mountains, a carriage drove slowly, leaving a long car mark on the wet road.

Dozens of people in uniform dark blue personal guard uniforms walked past all the way, and there was an instant layer of messy boot marks on the road.

A personal guard in the same blue clothes hurried over in front of him, bowed hurriedly in front of the carriage, and said, "Reporting to the lord, we have already entered the Jianghuai territory, and the subordinates have visited it. There is an old temple not far ahead, or You can settle down, but..."

The carriage stopped, but the curtain did not open, and a clear voice came out, "Just what?"

"It's just that the temple seems to have been newly defeated not long ago. Looking at the traces... the subordinates feel that the monks in the temple seem to have suffered a sudden massacre!"

There was a moment of silence in the car, and for a long while, there seemed to be a murmur in the car, "It's a monk again..."

"My lord?" the guard asked tentatively.

"Immediately go to the old temple, this king lives there!"

"Yes!"

…………

On the top of Yumang Mountain, there is a flat cliff. The cliff is lush and green, and there is nowhere to go.

Surrounded by greenery, a large hall rises from the ground, with high courtyards and wide roads.The two lacquered red pillars in front of the gate are about several feet high, looming over the cliff in an overlooking posture.

The tall giant door slowly opened, and a man in black knelt on the ground on one knee, bowing his head towards the people inside the door, "Pavilion Master, there is news from Hall Master Zhu and Hall Master Bi that they appeared in the Jianghuai area, we, whether?"

"Jianghuai?" A voice like pieces of Kunshan jade drifted into the ears of the man in black.

The man in black lowered his head, "Yes."

"It's none of your business. I'll go there myself."

The man in black was taken aback, "But the pavilion master, you?"

"Xiao Ying." The voice was a little cold, "This matter is of great importance."

Xiao Ying sighed softly, "...Okay."

He also knows that this matter is directly related to the reputation of Chenyin Pavilion, and he can't let those petty little ones be presumptuous, but,

"...Pavilion Master,"

"Anything else?"

Xiao Ying hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth, "Pavilion Master, it's almost another year, and the cold winter is just over, and there may be a cold spring, you, be careful."

…………

The next day, after the spring rain, the sky was bright and clear.

Yanyu Building in Jiangnanzhou City.

"Guest officer, please come inside!"

The shop waiter shook the rag in his hand, threw it on his shoulder, and smiled kindly. Judging from his many years of experience in welcoming and sending off, these two guests in front of him are the ones that the shopkeeper will happily flatter.

"I want the best wine and the best dishes. If the prince is satisfied, I will definitely reward you!"

The one who spoke was a young man in a brocade hat and fine attire, and while he was speaking, he turned to one side to let out another young man.

As soon as Xiao Er heard the word "Prince", he knew it right away, so he became even more courteous, quickly ordered good wine and good food, and couldn't help but look around, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the distinguished guest that the young master gave up, no wonder Xiao Er couldn't control himself, but this prince was really extraordinary in appearance and demeanor.

I saw the prince 23 years old, with a slender figure, a face as if carved out by a magic knife and an axe, with long eyebrows reaching into the temples, eyes like stars, long and narrow phoenix eyes raised at the end, and two thin lips because of the light Not only does it not look cold, but it has a romantic meaning that seems to be a smile that is not a smile.

His black hair was tied up high by a gold crown inlaid with jade, he was dressed in a purple robe reaching to the ground, his eyebrows seemed to be raised, and he had a folding fan in his hand.

This one is the third prince of the Dayuan Dynasty, the trustworthy king Chu Xuanzhao.

King Xin's romance is almost a topic of conversation in the capital, from the nobles in the palace to the common people.

It is rumored that King Xin once walked the snow to find plums for Qianxue of Bo Huanxi Building, and also made up for the four books and five classics by spelling books with a handsome scholar. No taboo, men and women take it all", the romantic prince.

Therefore, I don't know how many people who cling to the powerful have their eyes on his temperament, and girls and young people keep sending them to his house.

At this time, King Xin said, "You don't need to give away those who have no strengths. It's true that I love beauties, but I only love beauties with talents. Or those who can sing and dance, or those who can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, then I will give it to you." Send it here. Don’t give it away if you only have a good face in the future, let’s be a servant if you send it over.”

As soon as this remark came out, it spread throughout the capital in a short time, and anyone who gave it away later had to think about it.

"My lord is used to seeing the beauties in the capital, so we should also look at our beauties in the south of the Yangtze River! If you have anything to do, just mention it, and I will serve you for my lord! If you know it, you can talk about it. If you don't know, you can definitely inquire about it." Come, if the lord is happy, I will be lucky!" The young man invited the lord Xin to sit in the first seat, poured him a cup of tea skillfully, and sat down.

Hou Qing is the young son of the local Zhizhou, and he was ordered by his father to entertain King Xin who was on the southern tour.

This time, Emperor Yuan would send someone to conduct a southern tour every two years as usual. King Xin bluntly said that he wanted to see what the beauties in Jiangnan looked like, so he asked the emperor to give him this errand. Fake selfishness.

However, the little prince reported to the emperor and left with a team of personal guards early the next morning, leaving the courtiers with no chance to refute.

The little prince stopped and stopped all the way like traveling in the mountains and rivers, and it took more than a month to arrive in this area of ​​Zhejiang.

Along the way, I heard that the little prince likes it, and there are not a few people who fawn on him, and there are also many temptations in words and deeds.It's nothing more than wanting to climb up a step or fearing that if one is not careful, he will lose the black gauze hat on his head.

Hou Qing is also one of them.When King Xin arrived in Zhejiang, he greeted him warmly and invited him to a restaurant for dinner.It's just that it is temporarily unknown whether it is pure flattery or some temptation.

"Oh? Tell me everything you know?" Xin Wang swung open the folding fan in his hand, and shook it lightly. The wind from the fan picked up the hair on his sideburns, and Sweeping Hou Qing couldn't help trembling.

"Naturally, I am willing to go through fire and water for the prince." Hou Qing looked at Xin Wang earnestly, and his eyes touched the folding fan in Xin Wang's hand, and his eyes flickered.

I saw four big characters written on the top-quality white jade fan - Mr. Mei Xi.

Seeing him looking at his fan, the little prince couldn't help closing the fan and knocking on his shoulder, "It's not necessary to go through fire and water, but tell me, there are the most beauties in this city."

"If it's a beauty, then it's a girl from Yuxianglou, and it's really soft jade and warm fragrance."

"Oh? Then, besides the girl?"

Hou Qing couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, "Except for the girl?"

He patted his head and suddenly said, "In addition to the soft jade and gentle girl in Yuxiang Tower, there is also a good-looking young man with a waist, if the prince likes it, I will have fun with the prince, and will never disappoint the prince's expectations... "

Hou Qing made a bow, "If the lord does not give up, I will let the subordinate be the host today, and ask the lord to give me the next chance to serve the lord?"

"Okay, you're not bad, this king will naturally give you this opportunity." King Xin played with the folding fan in his hand, and when he turned one side of the fan, the style on the other side was completely different.The white fan surface and bright red plum blossoms are elegant and light like red plums falling in snow.However, elegance is elegance, but it can't help reminding people of Xin Wang's love affair with red plums and white snow.

.............

Sitting in the elegant room on the second floor, drinking slowly, there is infinite comfort. The breeze blows, and a few petals float in from the window, scattered on the purple robe of King Xin, adding a bit of elegance and fragrance to the heavy crimson purple .

Through the window, you can see the apricot forest outside the window. The spring breeze blows from time to time, and the apricot blossoms are floating. From a distance, the ground seems to be covered with a layer of pink fluffy blanket that rolls with the wind.

"I love beauties, but I'm not a beauty. Why did the east wind bring flowers and land on my king's lap? Isn't this to make me let down the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"My lord is very personable, presumably this apricot blossom is also transformed by a beauty, must have been impressed by his demeanor, so I borrowed the east wind to blow down my knees to get close to my lord."

King Xin laughed loudly after hearing this, "You are really good, this king saw you right."

"My lord's favor is the boy's blessing. The lord's aura is profound, and the beauties in the Yuxiang Tower must also be looking forward to the lord's favor."

...................

Hou Qing accompanied King Xin to eat wine and food, but it was still early, so he invited the prince to walk around, and when the two arrived at Yuxiang Tower, it was already the beginning of the lights, and the bustard greeted them directly into the private room as soon as they saw their attire .

"Call all the best girls and boys here."

"Wait a minute, we need to call some talented people." At this moment, Hou Qing suddenly remembered that the rumors of believing in the prince's capital city are probably true, which would make him unhappy, so he hastily added.

King Xin walked into the private room but didn't sit on the bench beside the table. He walked straight to the couch covered with a blanket and sat down. He took off his shoes and socks with a kick of his legs, leaned on it, and pulled his collar casually. The crimson purple robe was a little loose, and the hem of the clothes covered half of the fir couch, and the looming golden threads shone in the candlelight.The maroon lacquered couch, the overlapping purple robes and pure white underclothes, the lazy figure under the oil lamp, like lightning in the light mist, psychedelic but dazzling.

Hou Qing moved his Adam's apple subconsciously, and was startled when he realized his actions.

After a little thought in his heart, he guessed that King Xin was tired of shopping, and he spit to himself that he was negligent, and hurriedly moved the wine table and wine utensils to the side of the couch.

Not long after, the bustard led five or six girls and boys in and stood in a row.

"This is Ruyue, and the piano skill is the best in our Yuxianglou; this is Zhen'er, who can sing..." The old bustard introduced them one by one, and took a step back.

King Xin was leaning on the couch, and the girl Ruyue who was the leader seemed to pick up the wine jug on the table and poured a glass, and walked towards King Xin with graceful steps, and the girl behind her also poured wine immediately Send it to Hou Qing.

Unexpectedly, King Xin pushed away Ruyue's hand holding the wine, and pointed at the little girl named Zhen'er.

"Call him."

Embarrassment appeared on the girl's face, but she was someone who had experienced a lot of love, she smiled, pushed the young lady to the front, drank the wine in the glass, "If you displease the young master, I will punish you with a glass." Then she quietly backed away.

Seeing her alertness, King Xin couldn't help but glance at her, and said, "Drinking is boring, why don't you play a song?"

Ru Yue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly came back to her senses, "I'll help you out."
