The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Yao Kingdom Palace, back garden

"That's the end of the matter?" Long, white fingers dropped a black chess piece on the chessboard. The contrast between the white and milky white skin and the pure black jade made those hands even more white as jade, which was extremely alluring.

Xu Ci couldn't help but be dazed, "His Royal Highness, your hands are a bit more crystal clear than the snow milk and jade stones that come as tribute from the Snow Country."

Li Haochen smiled dumbly, and casually picked up the sapphire ruler placed by the side of the chessboard and tapped Xu Ci's head lightly, his movements were graceful and calm, "I can tell you that at a young age, he knows how to tease people."

"Hey, Your Highness, when you got off the ring, Xu Ci's head was dizzy." Xu Ci pretended to cry and rubbed his fleshy forehead, and said solemnly, "Heaven and earth testify, Your Highness, you have wronged Xu Ci." I didn't mean to tease you at all, what I said was the truth."

"Hey," Xu Ci shook his head and said with a white hand, "Long Zhang Feng, with extraordinary aura, looks like Pan An, shocking as a heavenly man. I don't know which noble girl will be so lucky in the future that she will be able to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." You." There was a slight sourness in his tone.

"You speak the truth, but you tell Gu, where did you learn such flattering nonsense. You don't know how to blush and blink when you say it." Another ruler knocked down, Li Haochen smiled With a smile, "Although you flatter Gu so much, Gu still won't be merciful." After finishing speaking, the sunspots in his hand dropped one by one, and the victory was decided.

"Better than your three-and-a-half eyes, Xiaoci has improved compared to before."

Xu Ci was not annoyed, he put the white pieces one by one into his white chess jar, and complained with his tongue out, "Oh, I won't come anymore, every time I play games with His Highness, I always get caught by His Highness the Crown Prince." The torture is so bitter, the taste is so sour. My side seems to be full of vitality, but in fact it is full of traps. One careless move, the whole game is lost. I thought it was a dead move when I was still alive, but when I thought I was alive, it was He is dead. Your Highness plays chess carefully and skillfully, so Xu Ci is willing to bow down."

Li Haochen couldn't help laughing, Xiaoci just talked so much nonsense, but he got out of the original question.He wanted to ask Xu Ci if he just spared the Lin family and Xu Ziya just like that, but since he didn't want to answer, he wouldn't force him to ask.

Over the past ten days, Xu Ci's flesh wounds were no longer serious, the scabs faded and new flesh grew.But after a hundred days of injury, Li Haochen's leg injury has not yet healed. Although he has improved, he is still on crutches, and the equestrian and martial arts classes in the afternoon continue to stop.

After the go class, the prince always likes to play games with Xu Ci, but Xu Ci has no intentions, and the chess he plays is rampant.He likes to set up a circle of traps around Xu Ci's chess pieces first, and wait for the net to be collected.When he was triumphant, he made a sharp move to catch a turtle in an urn.

"His Royal Highness, today is a beautiful sunny golden day. Xu Ci has always heard that there is a plum garden in the palace. Now that the plum blossoms are in full bloom, I think it must be a great place to visit. I wonder if Xu Ci has the honor to go there for a while. See?" Xu Ci was tortured by Li Haochen on the chessboard, his body was in dire straits, and he really didn't want to look for abuse anymore, so he thought of an excuse and asked the prince to take him to see Meijing.

Li Haochen pondered for a moment, staring at Xu Ci with a pair of vast starry eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he had seen his little Jiujiu clearly, "Alright, it's really plum blossom season now, so I will take you there." Standing up with crutches, leaving behind the little eunuch to tidy up the chessboard, only Eunuch Zhou was with him.

There was just a heavy snow yesterday, and the road was slippery in the snow. Li Haochen was very proud and didn't like to be supported by others like a cripple.Holding on to his crutches, he walked slowly but steadily.After a while, the three arrived outside the plum garden.

"Zhou Haisheng, you wait outside, don't follow in." After finishing speaking, he entered the plum garden with Xu Ci.

Eunuch Zhou made a promise, and after watching the two leave, he found a comfortable and warm pavilion at random, and slowly waited in the sun.

The day before yesterday had just entered the twelfth lunar month, and although the sun was high, the temperature was very cold.

As Fang stepped into the garden, Xu Ci's eyes suddenly lit up.In the cold and peaceful breeze, a large area of ​​rose-red and gorgeous plum blossoms are proudly blooming, showing vigorous vitality.Yesterday's snow fell on the plum blossoms, red and white, white and red, gorgeous and pure together, unique style.

Bursts of quiet and elegant plum fragrance come to the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

Xu Ci couldn't help admiring, "It's really a fairyland on earth."

"The plum blossoms have just bloomed now. If you come to see them after Laba, the scenery will be even more beautiful." Li Haochen said casually without paying attention.He has lived in the palace for 14 years, and he sees this scene every year, and he doesn't think it is so strange.

On the contrary, Xiaoci's pink, chubby, round, fair face, and those bright and charming eyes are more attractive to him than these immobile dead things.

The two stopped and went in the garden, chatting gossip, since Xu Ci came back, he especially liked to cling to the prince.

Talking and laughing, Li Haochen didn't pay attention to his foot, and stepped on the ground.It turned out that there was a dent under the plum tree, which can be bypassed if you see it on weekdays, but yesterday it snowed heavily, covering the ground with a thick layer of snow, and the soft and sparse snow also covered the dent. Filled up.

Li Haochen didn't expect to encounter a trap while walking, and if he didn't check for one, he would fall sideways.With sharp eyes and quick hands, Xu Ci rushed over, secretly delighted that a hero finally came to save the beauty.

But the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

He supported Li Haochen, but his body and weight were not as good as Li Haochen's. In the end, neither of them fell, and both fell into the snow.

Xu Ci, who was crushed below, struggled to breathe heavily, Li Haochen took advantage of the situation and lay down beside Xu Ci, the two of them laughed when they saw each other's embarrassed appearance.

"His Royal Highness, who looks like a banished fairy, sometimes falls to the ground and eats the snow. It's so strange." Xu Ci joked.

"The appearance of me that you see now is not exactly your own appearance." Speaking of childish innocence, he actually lay on his back and picked up the snow beside him and wiped it on Xu Ci's delicate face.

Xu Ci was so cold that he screamed "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The surrounding air was quiet, and the two of them fought for a while, feeling a little spoiled and childish, so they all stopped.Li Haochen looked up at the beautiful plum blossoms above with his arms propped up. The warm sunlight passed through the gaps of the plum blossoms and printed on the snow, forming white spots.

Every time he is with Xu Ci, he always feels very relaxed.

Neither of them spoke, only the plum blossom Linghan swayed alone, and the two of them quietly felt the comfortable and peaceful atmosphere.

After lying down for a long time, it was a little cold behind them. Just as the two of them were about to get up and leave, they heard some sounds from a distance, which were vague and not very real.

Because the two were lying on their backs, and both of them were wearing white snow clothes today, the two people who spoke did not notice them.

Those two people stopped and walked, and actually stopped not far from them, "Elder-in-law, will Your Majesty really come to this plum garden to enjoy the scenery this afternoon?"

"It's not bad. Your Majesty misses the deceased Empress Shengde. Every year after the first snowfall in the twelfth lunar month, you will come here to see things and think about people."

Xu Ci gently turned his head to look at Li Haochen, and saw a strange color flashing in his pool-like eyes.

Empress Shengde was Li Haochen's late mother, the favorite woman of Emperor Taikang.

The female voice said earnestly, "Jiayuan is stupid, please tell me." After a while of screeching, Xu Ci guessed that it was the woman who bribed the eunuch.

"Wei Cairen, with your appearance and temperament, you are [-]% similar to the empress Shengde who passed away. If you could meet the emperor here this afternoon, your majesty will think that it is the empress Shengde. After that, Cairen, you are definitely a holy grace." The honor and favor are endless."

When Xu Ci heard the name Wei Cairen, his heart was pounded like a heavy hammer, and he suddenly stopped.

Wei Cairen, Wei Cairen, the Wei Cairen who is [-]% similar to Empress Shengde... Isn't it the Wei family who was made a noble concubine after the registration of the Fourth Prince?

This woman is very cunning, and her heart is extremely vicious. She has experienced two generations of emperors.

First, she captured the heart of Emperor Taikang by virtue of her appearance that was seven points similar to Empress Shengde, and became Wei Meiren.

Later, the current situation was turbulent, and when the crown prince Li Haochen was deposed, Emperor Taikang became seriously ill.She and the fourth prince, who was the most promising contender for the throne, built plank roads and kept secrets.

He even helped the fourth prince to take the elixir mixed with chronic and highly toxic substances to Emperor Taikang every day. Emperor Taikang's originally healthy body deteriorated and finally died suddenly. Most of the reasons were because of this.

After the death of Emperor Taikang, she stayed in Luoyun Nunnery for a year, then was picked up again by the fourth prince who had already enthroned as emperor, and was carried directly to Zhaoyi.After she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, she was made a noble concubine.

The two were still talking in a low voice, Wei said pleasantly: "Thank you for your father-in-law's point. If Jiayuan can receive the grace, she will never forget her father-in-law's kindness."

"En," the eunuch was very satisfied with Wei Cairen's approach, and the two left without a pause, Xu Ci could only vaguely hear the eunuch's voice, "Empress Shengde liked to wear purple clothes when she was alive, so Cairen like you, When your Majesty comes down in the afternoon, Cai Ren is wearing a purple dress and waiting here to pretend to meet you by chance, remember to spray some beauty fragrance on your body..."

He couldn't hear clearly anymore, so Xu Ci put down his ears, turned his head, and bumped into Li Haochen's secretive eyes.

When he assisted the fourth prince in his previous life, he was used to the intrigues and schemes in the royal family.In the deep vortex of imperial power, these things are indispensable.

But he looked at these things with the eyes of a bystander at that time, with a hint of irony.

But now, the person being used is by his side, and it is the person he wants to get close to and cherish the most.

The feeling that his most precious treasure was being desecrated made Xu Ci's heart feel as if he had fallen into molten lava, and he was furious.

The favorite of the Wei family in his previous life was actually the Taikang Emperor who used the most respected and beloved mother of the crown prince to seduce the Emperor Taikang who was sprayed with the beauty potion such as beauty perfume on his body.

Xu Ci loves the house and Wu, loves the crown prince, even his long-dead queen mother can't see being desecrated by others.

Seeing Xu Ci's face flushed with anger, Li Haochen couldn't help but laugh dumbfounded, and most of his anger disappeared.

His little pet is always so cute, always puts him among the treasures, doesn't let others insult him, and always thinks of him sincerely.

Xu Ci puffed up his face and said angrily: "That Wei Cairen is really a lowly person, and he seduces His Majesty with the idea of ​​imitating Empress Shengde, which is really a great blasphemy to Empress Shengde! Damn it!" The words It is also mixed with the hatred for what the previous Wei Cairen did.

Xu Ci is a man who loves to live and hates to die.In his previous life, he had framed the prince in every possible way and wished he would die. Now that he knew his affection for the prince, he could not see the prince being wronged.

Even Wei Cairen, who had harmed the crown prince in the previous life and had not caused any real harm in this life, has all kinds of grievances.If this Wei family falls into the hands of the two of them in the future, it will be miserable.

If it was an ordinary concubine, he wouldn't care too much. After all, a daughter who enters the palace is for the emperor's dragon bed and a seat in the harem.In order to gain the emperor's favor, it is understandable to use some small means.But this person happened to be Wei Cairen, the Wei Cairen who helped the Fourth Prince kill Emperor Taikang in the future, an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

Instead of letting her become a power, it is better to cut off all her opportunities when her power is still in its infancy.

"Don't worry," Li Haochen patted Xu Ci's head, his face was slightly cold, and dark waves surged in his eyes, "How can Gu let her get what she wants."

Only then did Xu Ci feel relieved. His Royal Highness always kept what he said, and since he said he would not let her get what she wanted, then she would not ask for anything.

After this incident, the two had no intention of admiring the plum blossoms.After tidying up hastily, I left the plum garden.

At noon, Xu Ci returned to Xu's Mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he found that Xu's Mansion was extremely lively today, despite the gloomy atmosphere caused by Lin's Xu Ziya's incident in the past few days.

He stopped a servant and was about to ask a question when someone slapped him on the shoulder, causing Xu Ci's entire face to contort instantly. He turned his head angrily, but shouted in surprise, "Zi Xian!"

On the opposite side, a girl with a high ponytail and a simple boy's attire was looking at Xu Ci with a smile.A narrow smile was written in a pair of eyes, "Hi, Xu boy, long time no see, you're getting fat again!"
