The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

Afterwards, the emperor took pity on Jia Cairen, who was innocent and murdered, and specially named her a virtuous concubine. Seeing that Jia Huan, the only younger brother of the Jia family in Beijing, promoted Jia Huan, who was restored to his post, to the third rank as a minister of the fifth-rank Imperial Academy. , Jia Huan seems to have become the fastest promoted and most eye-catching new star in this year's scientific examination. Even Jia Zheng, who is in the field, couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard about it. He sent a letter of congratulations and encouraged Jia Huan to be more respectful and diligent If you do a job, you will live up to the blue eyes of the Holy One.

Because Jia Huan could only live in seclusion under the influence of Prince Qi Yuan some time ago, so her good sister Daiyu's wedding ceremony only showed her face a little, and she left after offering a big gift without staying too long.Now that I have free time, Daiyu is already married, so she can see each other at will, unlike when she was at home in the past.Fortunately, he and Daiyu's husband-in-law, Shan Jinyu, were both officials in the same dynasty. They were young and ambitious, and they had such a relationship. Naturally, they became acquainted very quickly. Jia Huan was often invited to visit Shan Jinyu and Daiyu. Daiyu's residence is often where Daiyu bakes a new pot of tea, and the three of them play chess together, or write poems in conjunction, or chat and chat for fun, very carefree.

Compared with Jia Huan, the new prince Qi Qian is very hard-working.It was just dawn to get up and go to the Chongwen Hall where a group of Confucian scholars had been waiting for a long time, to start the daily lecture feast, which was taught by 48 Hanlin scholars in turn, and it took about an hour.In the past, Prince Qi Yuan also had to receive this kind of ancient elite education, but because Qi Yuan was established as the crown prince when he was five years old, he had plenty of time, and the emperor also said that because of his advanced age, He has the intention of retiring, and must have all the Hanlin scholars and the prince, tutor, master, and protector help the prince to become familiar with the way of being a king as soon as possible. Therefore, Qi Qian this time can be said to be a time when time is tight and the task is heavy, and the intensity is far greater than that of Qi Yuan.

As soon as the banquet was over, Qi Qian was about to change clothes and go to the Golden Palace. Standing behind the throne, he respectfully listened to the emperor and all civil and military officials handling state affairs.According to the crown prince and Taifu, listening to the lectures of the Hanlin scholars is based on the collection of classics and history, and listening to the emperor's ascension to the early dynasty in the Linjin Palace is based on the world as a teacher. The two complement each other, and the latter is more important.However, no matter how important it is, standing behind the emperor for two hours and listening to the emperor and his ministers talking, this feeling is a bit like serving the empress dowager for dinner. How can it be better if you watch others eat?

Of course, from time to time, when the emperor encounters some difficult problems, he will deliberately test the prince and ask him to talk about it. At such times, he must be especially cautious.To be honest, the talent of the old emperor is mediocre, but the victory lies in diligence, and it is just a peaceful and prosperous age. In front of the emperor for decades, what opinions he wants to say may not be higher than that of Qi Qian, but the more this is the case, At such a time, Qi Qian had to gather all his energy to answer, not only to appear to have outstanding insights, to have the brilliance of a prince, but not to be too savvy. If he appeared to be more savvy than the emperor, it would be self-defeating.

To be honest, I am tired.

What's more tiring is that Qi Qian rarely sees his sweetheart now. It can be said that since Qi Qian became the prince, he has seen Jia Huan as many times as he can count on ten fingers. In the daytime, he has to study and follow the emperor to go to court. Jia Huan may not be free when Qi Qian is free. After all, Jia Huan himself is involved in many things in the public office.But at night, there is a palace ban, even the crown prince can't enter and leave the palace at will, so he always gathers less and leaves more, which makes people feel unbearable.

Because Jia Huan is now only a fifth-rank official and has no qualifications to go to court, Qi Qian can't see him in the court, and the department that Qi Qian inspects on behalf of the emperor often does not include the Imperial Academy, so the two people's daily life trajectories can be said There is no intersection, and there are almost no chances to meet each other. Fortunately, Jia Huan was promoted to be a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, ranking 48th Hanlin Bachelor. About every half a month, he would go to Chongwen Hall to lecture on a subset of classics and history for the prince.

Therefore, on that day, Qi Qian was extraordinarily "invigorated on happy occasions", and the servants serving the prince could also clearly feel that His Highness the prince was in a happy mood, and he also had requirements on clothing and attire, like a man who urgently needed to open his screen. Like the male peacock who wins the favor of the female.

After the feast of the day was over, Qi Qian reluctantly looked at Jia Huan who was packing up the paperwork. He felt itchy for a while, and suddenly got up and walked to Jia Huan's side, sprayed on his fair and small earlobe, and whispered: "I want to see you this afternoon."

Jia Huan turned his head quickly, but luckily no one saw him, so he said angrily, "Are you crazy?"

The expression on Qi Qian's face may be called... grievance?Jia Huan's heart softened all of a sudden, Qi Qian, who always had a cold expression, would only show such an expression like a child who can't eat candy in front of him, right?What a pity!

Jia Huan said: "Okay, when will you come over? I have to do something important with Jin Yu first, and I won't be able to go home until Shenshi. You can come here at Shenshi."

Jin Yu Jin Yu, Qi Qian knew that Shan Jin Yu was Lin Ruhai's son-in-law and Jia Huan's cousin-in-law, but he still felt very uncomfortable. Shan Jinyu was known as the "Yulang" and, like Jia Huan, was accepted by him because of his handsome face and brilliant talent. Known as one of the dreamers in the Jin Dynasty, but because he recently became the son-in-law of Lin Ruhai, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he ranked lower.Even though they are relatives, it's not good to get too close. Didn't Qi Pei ignore the relationship between uncle and nephew at that time?The more Qi Qian thought about it, the more troublesome he became.

At the end of the afternoon application time.

Jia Huan, who had just fought fiercely for a round, pushed Qi Qian who was on his body, and said, "Go down, it's hard for me to breathe when it's on me."

Qi Qian just lifted up a little bit, still pressed on Jia Huan, and said sullenly: "Let me hug you more, I will go back to the palace in an hour, and I don't know when I can find you next time." .”

Jia Huan stopped moving and let him press on her.

Qi Qian asked casually, "Did you go out with that Shan Jinyu today? Why are you always with him?"

Jia Huan had already smelled the vat of sour vinegar fermenting in his stomach, so he couldn't help but glance at him and said, "Are you eating dry vinegar again? He is my cousin-in-law! My good friend! Who am I going to see?" Even if you cross eyes, you can’t be with him! Really!”

Qi Qian was slightly relieved, and asked again: "Then why are you messing with him? We could have met earlier, but you have delayed it."

Jia Huan smiled and said, "What's the delay? You didn't bother me enough just now? I'm going with him on an important matter. Do you remember my brother Baoyu? He was raped by his wife! Jin and I Yu went to help my brother to uphold justice!"

Qi Qian raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said, "Just your useless brother? Was beaten by his wife? Isn't that just right? I think he deserves a beating, just to vent his anger on you."

Jia Huan said: "That's not what I said. It's right for me to bully him, but it's okay for others to bully him."

Qi Qian smiled and said, "My Huan'er is the Gu family."

Jia Huan said triumphantly: "That's right. Jin Yu and I were very prestigious when we went. In the end, his wife said she didn't dare anymore, and even his father-in-law came out and said that in the future, he must restrain his daughter and stop bullying his son-in-law."

Qi Qian chuckled and said, "Why did your useless brother get beaten?"

Jia Huan said: "Speaking of which, he was also wrong. He had an illegitimate child with a maidservant before he got married, but he kept it secret. After giving birth to a child, he brought him to ask his wife to admit it, but his wife was originally an unforgiving temper, so she jumped up and slapped him in a fit of anger, saying that he cheated on the marriage, so there was a quarrel."

Qi Qian didn't want to listen to other people's trivial matters at all, but saw that Huan'er's lips were red, swollen and moist from the passionate kiss just now, as bright as flowers in the rain, attracting people to ravage, he couldn't help moaning: : "No, you seduced me again, let's do it again."

Jia Huan was suddenly turned over by him, and almost screamed out, but he forcefully turned his jaw and kissed him deeply, and then was penetrated again.

Qi Qian was like a tiger descending the mountain because his body had been stretched for too long. No matter how much Jia Huan begged for mercy, he just turned him over and over again, and coaxed him distressedly, "Okay, okay." Just bear with it for a little while longer" while slamming hard without mercy.

For a while, Jia Huan couldn't help complaining, "You're going to eat me alive." Qi Qian took him in his arms, kissed him closely, and said, "It's because I love you." You, see that I have been enduring, all the rain and dew are reserved to irrigate you."

Jia Huan couldn't help laughing and cursing: "Fuck you, if you water me this time, why don't you drown me?"

Qi Qian also laughed and said, "Yes, when watering flowers, you can't be dry or submerged. Watering once every night is enough to nourish you."

Jia Huan wanted to kick him, but he had no strength.

The two continued to gossip, and while talking, Qi Qian complained a lot, saying: "Being the prince is actually a hard job of 'corona wood as a chime hammer, which is decent on the outside but bitter on the inside'. My father Now that he is in the prime of life and suspicious, it is not an easy job to be the crown prince under him. Speaking of which, it is fortunate that Qi Yuan has stood in front of me and been the crown prince for more than ten years. Being appointed as the crown prince, I'm afraid my health will not be good right now. My temperament, you know, is a bit lonely, but my father, after Qi Yuan Qi Pei's death, thinks My second son, who was originally hopeless for the throne, won the position of crown prince, so he thought he had rewarded me with the best things in this world, but instead he demanded so much from me, life was really difficult."

Jia Huan understood at once that the so-called emperor's scheming, gods and ghosts do not speak, to put it bluntly means that power is paramount, even the most beloved biological son is also a minister, and must always prostrate under the majesty of the emperor, neither too incompetent nor too He is unpopular, and he can't be too capable to win the hearts of the people, so it's difficult for the prince.In fact, ministers, ministers, ministers should be reversed, ministers first, and sons second. Once it is reversed, it will cause a catastrophe.If you don't know, just watch the tragedy of the Kowloon seizing the throne in the TV series.

Jia Huan said: "Didn't the emperor say that he would give you the Zen seat, and he will be the emperor?"

Qi Qian smiled bitterly and said: "That's what he said, but I don't think he really thinks so. He wished he could live forever, so that he could sit on the throne and overlook all living beings from afar forever. Let me tell you, he is here again Ask those monks and Taoists to give him alchemy pills."

Jia Huan sighed and said, "Is it so good to be the emperor?"

Qi Qian turned around and said with a smile: "Of course that's good. At least, you can sleep with you if you want to sleep like now, and you don't have to worry about anyone else!"
