Shuoyun Feidu

Meng Chunyuan saw the middle-aged shopkeeper coming forward to greet the guests with a smile on his face, so he took out a small jade token from his pocket, and said in a deep voice, "...I have something to see the owner of this jade token." The shopkeeper saw this , His complexion changed suddenly, he put away the smile all over his face, took the jade plaque for a closer look, then handed it back to Meng Chunyuan with both hands, and said seriously: "Guests, please follow me." Closing, then led the way in front, and led Meng Chunyuan backwards, turned around for a while, but unknowingly walked into a backyard, and when they moved forward, there was a ulterior motive, the two had just walked to the gate of the courtyard , I heard the clear and clear piano sound coming from inside. It was so quiet that people couldn't help but stop and listen. I just felt that the player who played the piano was very skilled. An ordinary song "The Tallest Building" is so lingering and touching that it almost makes people want to cry.

"... long remember, swim with your shoulders. The skirt and socks are on the shore of peach blossoms... No one expected, the spring breeze has blown off. And who would have expected that the clouds will fly away... The sky is easy to grow old, but hatred is hard to repay. Bee is puzzled Knowing people's suffering, Yan'er can't explain people's sorrows. Old feelings can't be eliminated, when will they stop..."

A sigh flashed across Meng Chunyuan's eyebrows. He had served this piano player for many years. How could he not recognize the identity of the piano player when he was so familiar with the sound of the piano?At this time, the sound of the piano is full of sadness and melancholy. It can be seen that the person playing the piano is full of worries and sorrows. At this moment, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and the shopkeeper stepped forward to knock on the door. A maidservant in green clothes quietly opened the courtyard door, and the middle-aged shopkeeper brought Meng Chunyuan into the courtyard. As soon as he entered, he felt a fresh fragrance. The house is like a house, surrounded by flowers and trees, it looks very quiet, but all of these are just as a foil, no matter who enters here, the eyes will only be attracted by a figure, and there is a young man sitting in front of the steps. Finally, with long hair as black as ink, and a calm expression, he was lowering his head and caressing a guqin in front of him.

The young man was wearing a well-tailored white dress, elegant and unpretentious, with excellent workmanship, which made him look more elegant and leisurely. The thick green silk like a waterfall was loosely rolled up and held in place with only a jade hairpin. Apart from that, he had no other decorations. , is sitting behind the piano at the moment, with a hand as white as jade on the strings, and gently fiddles with it as if there is no sign. It is already April and the weather is slightly warm, but the young man is still wearing a snow-white robe. The folded and embroidered bamboo-pattern cloak covered most of the body and looked a little thin. At this time, Meng Chunyuan and the middle-aged shopkeeper entered the courtyard, and the young man slightly raised his head to look at the courtyard entrance. In the evening light, that pair of handsome The peerless face immediately lit up the entire courtyard, and the kind of demeanor far away from the hustle and bustle that made people feel ashamed. It was Shen Hanyan.

The middle-aged shopkeeper obviously had a high status, so when he saw Shen Hanyan, he just bowed slightly, and said in a respectful tone: "...I shouldn't have disturbed the young master's purity, but just now there was a guest who came to visit with the young master's token This subordinate brought this person here." After finishing speaking, she dropped her hands and said nothing, Shen Hanyan stood up slowly, and stood in front of the steps with her hands behind her back, with a long exquisite silver silk sash tied around her waist, hanging a A pair of purple jade double fish pendants, tall and tall, with unspeakable grace, the whole person is like a rustling green bamboo, more colorful after frost, as cold as ice and snow, only glanced in the direction of the middle-aged shopkeeper, and said lightly: " "Go down, there is no one to wait on you here."

The voice was clear and graceful, and the middle-aged shopkeeper backed away as he said. Shen Hanyan's eyes were somewhat surprised and complicated, and he said to Meng Chunyuan: "...Why are you here?" Meng Chunyuan walked to the stairs Before she stepped forward, she said in a low voice: "The concubine Mu entrusted me to come here." Shen Hanyan seemed to be frozen when he heard this. Although his expression moved slightly, his expression remained indifferent. Meng Chunyuan walked up the stairs , staring intently at the young man in front of him, and saw that although the other party's usual elegant and calm face remained unchanged, there was a faint melancholy and desolate look between his brows, which could not go away. Obviously, there was something on his mind that was always entangled in Meng Chunyuan's heart. I don't know why, but I felt a slight sinking in my heart, but I sighed inexplicably, and said, "Young Master..." Shen Hanyan waved his hand lightly, then turned around and walked into the room: "...come in first, let's talk Forget it." Seeing this, Meng Chunyuan didn't say a word, and immediately followed closely.

For a while, the two of them entered the room, and saw that the decoration inside was quite simple, quiet and elegant. Shen Hanyan took off his cloak and put it aside, sat in the main seat by himself, and said to Meng Chunyuan, "Sit down." Meng Chunyuan sat down as he said. After a pause, Fang said: "The concubine Mu entrusted me to come here, and said that she has something to ask the young master to go to Changping Palace to see." There was a faint melancholy in Shen Hanyan's eyes, and his voice became a little low , Said: "Forget it...just like this, you have to take some responsibility and take such risks." Meng Chunyuan's face was calm, and he smiled: "...Young Master, please don't say these things. Having been around for several years, there is both a brotherhood and a teacher-student friendship, maybe it is a bit hypocritical to say that you are going through fire and water, but as long as the young master has something to do, Chunyuan will always have to do his best."

Meng Chunyuan said, got up and said: "It's not too late, Shaojun should clean up quickly, and it will be time to pay the value in a while, and it will be much easier for me to bring Shaojun into the palace than usual." Shen Hanyan listened , nodded slightly: "... that's fine, then just wait a moment, I'll go in and change into the outfit I wore when I entered the palace last time." After speaking, he got up and went into the inner room, leaving Meng Chunyuan waiting outside.

Shen Hanyan entered the room, and was about to take out the masks and clothes he used when he sneaked into the East Palace last time, but his eyes fell on a stack of piano scores on the table in front of the window inadvertently, he paused, Unconsciously, he walked over and flipped through it casually. After only a few glances, his heart was already filled with discomfort. These Guqin scores were collected by Beitang Rongdu for him at the time, and they were basically lost. After they broke up with each other, he naturally couldn't bring out the things in Qionghua Palace. These piano scores were all copied from memory. At this time, Shen Hanyan's snow-white fingers subconsciously slid across the paper, feeling the friction between the skin and the pages. For a while, Shen Hanyan's expression changed, and his state of mind had regained clarity. He took off his mask and clothes for a while, went to sit in front of the mirror, and looked at the mirror in a daze The figure of himself inside... People are not grass and trees, how can one be ruthless, but even though he loves Beitang Rongdu deeply, what can he do now that he has come to this point?Thinking of this, my heart turns, my eyes are already a little sour, but I forcibly endured it, not letting anything drip from it, and quickly took the mask over my face, quickly pretending to be the same face A mediocre ordinary guard.

As night fell, lights were lit up everywhere in Changping Palace, a roll of green pearl curtains hung quietly, the pearl light was blurred, behind the curtain Mu Qingping was sitting in front of the window, the window sash was half closed, holding the A round fan, the whole person seems to be in a daze, with a bright red tassel hanging from the handle, like a smear of blood, at this time the outside has already darkened, and the palace lanterns in the various courtyards of the palace are like countless bright stars.At this moment, when she heard the bead curtain crackling suddenly, Mu Qingping behind the curtain was slightly startled and stood up in shock. The moment she turned her head, she saw the young man's deep eyes and peaceful brows in the shadow of the lamp, although The complexion could not be more ordinary, but the quiet demeanor is unmistakable, it makes people feel in a trance for a moment, as if time and space suddenly reversed, returning to the long time of youth, Mu Qingping took a deep breath, a heartbroken heart With joy, she walked around with almost nowhere to go, and the rose-colored skirt passed the ground soundlessly like a cloud, and said in a joyful and complicated way: "...you are here .”

Night Breeze pushed the half-closed window further open, Shen Hanyan's eyes were far away and gentle, he nodded, his eyes seemed to be illuminated by the moonlight, clear and clear, and said: "...you let Chun Yuan find me Come on, I don’t know if there is something important that can’t be done?” Mu Qingping heard the words, the bright color in her eyes paused, and then gradually dimmed, but she immediately smiled slightly, as if showing no trace of loss, and then gently smiled. He smiled softly, and said casually, "Could it be that I can't find you if I have nothing to do?" Shen Hanyan sighed lightly, stood upright and said, "You know that's not what I mean." The smoky breeze gently slipped into the hall, blowing it softly, making the sleeves cool. Mu Qingping looked at Shen Hanyan with a confused expression, and suddenly sighed, Yiyi said: "I want to tell you One thing...Beitang has already told me before, that in a few days, the imperial edict will be issued, and the Crown Princess will be registered." Mu Qingping's words were weak and slow, she clenched the round fan and said: "……it's me."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Hanyan's body trembled slightly, his dark eyes seemed to be covered by a thin layer of coolness, and then he turned his face away in a hurry to prevent Mu Qingping from seeing his expression Changing, while trying to calmly say: "Ah, it's like this...that's also very good." Mu Qingping paused when she heard this, with complicated expressions of pity on her face, and said: "If you feel uncomfortable in your heart, just treat me Let me tell you... Between you and me, how can there be any need to cover up?" Shen Hanyan's eyes that were originally as clear as autumn water uncontrollably leaked a few traces of bewilderment, and he managed to cover it up, raised his head and said calmly: "It's really good. You have become a princess, so you can take care of your wedding day in the future... There's nothing wrong with that, is it?" She smiled brightly to show that she was fine. Mu Qingping looked at the thin and gentle smile on the young man's face, and felt a sudden pain in her heart. Looking at the other party again, there was only some sour tenderness left to make up for the embarrassment at this time, but Shen Hanyan seemed to have nothing to do with it, and smiled lightly, as soft as the light and shadow under the moon: "...then, the wedding is coming soon What? Have you grown taller?"

The breeze blowing into the hall outside the window became more and more mellow, and the clear moonlight fell on the ground. Mu Qingping glanced at Shen Hanyan, and for a while, her heart was slightly overwhelmed. Tang has already said that I will move out of Changping Palace and move into Qionghua Palace when the canonized edict is issued soon." The faint smile on Shen Hanyan's face froze for a moment, and then forced a smile without hesitation : "That's not bad, otherwise it would be a pity that such a big palace is empty..." He barely maintained his usual routine, not letting himself lose his composure: "Since you become a princess in the future, you will take good care of Jiaqi on my behalf...Thank you."

Finally, Mu Qingping couldn't bear it anymore, she gritted her teeth and said, "You..." As she spoke, two pearl-like tears suddenly rolled out of her eyes and slid down her snow-white cheeks. Qingping quickly turned her head away, unwilling to let Shen Hanyan see her weakness and sadness. Seeing this, Shen Hanyan patted her on the back lightly, as if to comfort her. Deep, how could he remain unmoved as a man?Regardless of appearance or talent, Mu Qingping is first-class, but she has long been attached to Beitang Rongdu, and even if she will never renew her old dream with Beitang Rongdu, she still has emotions and desires, but she also has emotions. It is like a passing cloud, it is impossible to sink into the love with other people... Thinking of this, there is only a sigh left in my heart, no amount of tenderness can cause half a ripple on the heart lake, but at this moment, but Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and Mu Qingping couldn't help turning her head to look towards the door, with a look of anger on her face. She had already ordered that no one should come and disturb her. Who actually committed the crime knowingly?There was a slight anger in the voice for a while, and he shouted softly: "...Who is in a panic!"

At this time, the footsteps had also stopped outside the door, and the voice of the palace servants sounded clearly: "... Your Majesty, Your Highness has arrived!" Mu Qingping was startled, and then she calmed down and said, "I see, let's go down." "As he spoke, he looked at Shen Hanyan anxiously. Shen Hanyan was also taken aback, and then he became confused and at a loss. Cultivation, as long as you step into the room, it will be very difficult for you not to be found even if you hide. At this moment, the sound of small footsteps outside is approaching. Shen Hanyan has no choice but to dodge and hide in the room. Ping was so quick to get wise that she didn't get up to greet her right away, but she tore off her coat and said in a loud voice, "...Beitang, are you here? I feel a little uncomfortable after dinner today, and I just wanted to sleep What?" As he spoke, he pulled out the jade hairpin on his head quickly with his hands and feet, causing a black hair to hang down.

Just as he finished speaking, he saw a few servants pushing the door and entering, followed by a person who stepped in with a calm attitude and a self-cultivated posture. It was Beitang Rongdu, who had just heard Mu Qingping's words outside, and came in right now I saw Mu Qingping in the hall with loose hair, no coat on her body, and a tube top embroidered with orchids, her tall breasts protruding more and more. Seeing him coming in, her expression was a little unnatural, and there was a flash of panic, as if Very shy, Beitang Rongdu also felt embarrassed for a while, didn't know what to say, and didn't doubt anything, after all, although Mu Qingping had married him long ago, the two of them were in name only, and they had never had skin. The relative, the other party is an innocent girl, so it is very embarrassing to see people like this, so Beitang Rongdu did not doubt that he was there, and turned slightly sideways with his hands behind his back to avoid looking at Mu Qingping, only ordered a few servants to retreat, and Standing at the door without going in, he said: "Gu originally wanted to come and talk to you, but now it seems that it is a bad coincidence...Since I feel uncomfortable, did you send the imperial doctor to come and see? Don't delay."

Mu Qingping only felt that her throat was tight, she bit her lips subconsciously, as if she wanted to calm herself down, collected herself for a while, walked behind the curtain to block her body, and then smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing serious, It's just a little dizzy, and it'll be fine if you take a rest." When she spoke, she felt that she had never been so nervous before, she could hardly control her heartbeat, and she was afraid that Beitang Rongdu would come in and find something, but fortunately, Beitang Rongdu didn't come in He just stood at the door and said, "It's fine... I just sat with Concubine Song for a while, and I heard that Jiaqi came to play today. She is getting more and more active now, and Gu is planning to give her and Ju'er a formal meeting." Ask a gentleman to teach their siblings how to read and write." Mu Qingping took a light breath, so that her voice could not detect any flaws: "That's right, the two children are not too young, you can indeed find a husband Come to teach." Beitang Rongdu nodded, and said: "...Since you are not feeling well today, I will not disturb your rest here, and I will talk to you some other day."

Seeing Beitang Rongdu turn around and go out, and closed the door smoothly, Mu Qingping slowly let go of her sweaty hands, and leaned against the curtain as if powerless. A moment later, Shen Hanyan came out , Mu Qingping smiled bitterly: "Just now I was really afraid that I would show my flaws..." Shen Hanyan didn't say a word, but his eyes fluctuated slightly, and his face was thoughtful. Going up, said: "Fortunately, there is nothing wrong..." Shen Hanyan gave a slight 'hmm', and then said nothing, Mu Qingping was a little puzzled, and said softly: "Han Yan, what's the matter?" Shen Hanyan Yan suddenly looked very calm, and said slowly: "He... wants to find a husband for Jiaqi?" Shen Hanyan's expression changed suddenly, Shen Hanyan didn't look at her, but let out a long breath, as if he had made a decision.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

"...Since the last time, it's been a long time since I came out to relax in peace. It's rare to hang out with you."

The cold spring has already passed, and everything is thriving. At a glance, there are lush greenery everywhere, and the spring is endless. There are endless carriages and pedestrians on the road, all of them are out for fun. I can only see the river boats passing by, and the water is rippling. The euphoric scene that emerges.

Weeping willows on the shore, two young men walked side by side, with an intimate attitude. The two of them were dressed like ordinary rich men, and the older one seemed to be about 24 or [-] years old. He was tall and slender, with a reluctant appearance He is handsome, but not outstanding, but although his expression is indifferent, his pair of phoenix eyes reveal a look of disdain that cannot be concealed, faintly intimidating. Talking to other people, the person next to him is younger, probably of a weak age, and his appearance is not outstanding, just handsome. It stands to reason that there are many young people like this. In terms of appearance, this person is by no means outstanding. Young men are often not inferior to him, not to mention that there are occasional handsome young men who pass by, attracting many women to secretly look at them, but this tall young man has an extraordinary bearing, although his appearance is peaceful, his expression is also ordinary , but there was an irresistible majesty faintly in his gestures, no matter how ordinary his appearance was, no one could really ignore him.

These two are the father and son Beitang Zunyue and Beitang Rongdu who went out of the palace in modest clothes. At this time, the spring is beautiful and Beitang Rongdu is looking at the surrounding scenery with a smile on his face. He is obviously in a good mood, even if he is quite Even his ordinary appearance couldn't hide the demeanor between his brows and eyes. He was very calm and composed. Suddenly, Beitang Rongdu glanced away inadvertently, and saw Beitang Zunyue beside him. He saw the man walking with his hands behind his back. His phoenix eyes flashed with a touch of peace from time to time, and his long eyebrows were slightly raised, obviously feeling at ease in his heart. Although this person has now turned into an ordinary young man, his appearance is barely handsome, but for some reason, in Beitang Rongdu In his eyes, it seemed that he could see deeper through these, and the features that would not attract people's attention were very vivid in his mind. At this moment, Beitang Zun beside him seemed to be feeling something, and he also turned his head to look over. The two of them looked at each other's familiar eyes at the same time, looking at each other for a while. , They all smiled knowingly, subconsciously ignoring everything around them, only a hint of joy.

At that moment, Beitang Zunyue casually took Beitang Rongdu's left palm hanging by his side, and without hesitation held that soft, snow-white hand in his palm. The moment his skin touched, Beitang Rongdu immediately He paused slightly, as if subconsciously wanted to pull out his hand, but he still didn't move, and let the other party hold it calmly, feeling the temperature in his lover's palm. At this moment, the gap in his heart was in the warm palm of the man. Turned into nothing, he held Beitang Zunyue's hand behind his back, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, or like a pool of spring water. At this time, Beitang Rongdu was completely alone in front of his lover. An ordinary young man with a bit of shyness, rather than the master of the Eastern Palace who holds great power, the more Beitang Zun saw this, looked at the pair of soft and strong phoenix eyes, suddenly smiled lowly, and deliberately put the phoenix eyes in his palm. He clenched his hands tightly and said with a smile, "...you're getting shy, huh?"

At this time, the bright sunshine in the spring happened to be reflected on the man's face. Although Beitang Zunyue changed his face, it was only a subtle modification of his facial features, not a big effort to change his face. The outline of the face that was completely concealed is clearly visible, and the smirking expression is even more captivating, making Beitang Zunyue's face seem to have just melted ice and snow, a little more vivid, Beitang Rongdu's eyes unconsciously Exuding a gentle look, he stretched out his hand to caress Beitang Zunyue's cheek, and said, "You're making fun of me again."

At this time, the water was sparkling, and a woman's singing came from afar, the tune was melodious and melodious, but it was "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix". The more Beitang Zun listened to it, his heart moved, and he felt that it was just right for him , couldn't help laughing and said: "You are so close to me outside, why don't you avoid it?" Beitang Rongdu smiled slightly, and said: "...Why should I pay attention to other people's attitudes? I can do whatever I want So." He said, but suddenly remembered all the struggles and confusion in his heart these days, it is really inhumane, no words can describe that kind of entangled mood vividly, like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.Thinking of this, the whole heart seemed to have been washed by the cold spring, and slowly calmed down, his eyes were like cold stars, jade and dust-free, he looked at Beitang Zunyue in a daze, but he hesitated for a moment, and finally did not say What, but Beitang Zunyue saw something strange, because he subconsciously paid attention to every word and deed of Beitang Rongdu, and even every expression and expression, so there was no way to hide it from him, so he said: " What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind, tell me, huh?"

It was just an ordinary sentence, but Beitang Zunyue's question made Beitang Rongdu suddenly feel aggrieved, and the original delicate and gentle feeling in his heart was instantly shattered into bubbles, Beitang Rongdu's eyelashes Trembling slightly, he looked at the smile in the other person's eyes. If it wasn't for his perseverance, he might have already asked Beitang Zunyue about what happened that night. Beitang Zunyue's gaze also became gentle on the outside, cold and indifferent on the inside, but the expression on his face melted slightly, and the faint anger was forcibly suppressed and disappeared, but when he thought of Beitang Zunyue as an emperor, he could not Any restraint to do what you want to do, you still feel extremely uncomfortable in your heart, even thinking that Beitang Zunyue must have been close to other people more than once, maybe many times, but I don't know it, thinking of this , the heart became more and more angry, and the heart was mottled by the poisonous insects of jealousy. For a moment, I couldn't help but look away, just as if nothing had happened, but said with a smile: "...I was thinking, if you and I can always be happy like this Alright." The more Beitang Zun saw him like this, his heart moved, and he leaned into his ear and whispered, "What's the problem?" Beitang Rongdu had completely recovered his composure at this time, and there was a trace of peace in his eyes. Years of experience and the accumulation of precipitation have played a role. In the end, Beitang Rongdu has reservations about everyone, and he will never confide in everyone, including Beitang Zunyue... Thinking of this, His heart trembled, his eyes gradually dimmed, and there was a trace of regret, because he knew that once something happened, it would never be undone, and there was no need to make futile efforts. Only a fundamental solution is the right thing to do. Up to this point, he looked at Beitang Zunyue with a smile, although his eyes were gentle, but there was no emotion at all, and he said with a faint smile: "Then don't forget what you said, treat me well forever."

Beitang Rongdu's tone sounded innocuous to others, but to Beitang Zunyue, it sounded a little different from usual. He sized up Beitang Rongdu, and saw that the other person's eyes were calm, and his pair of phoenix eyes were cold and deep. , seemed to be affectionate, so he touched the top of Beitang Rongdu's head and asked, "Why do you seem to be a little depressed today?" Beitang Rongdu smiled quietly: "I've been walking for too long today, and I'm a little tired. I haven't walked such a long distance for a long time." Beitang Zunyue laughed dumbfounded, and patted him lightly: "Now I am no longer the person in the rivers and lakes of the past, and my body has become more delicate. Have you forgotten?" How old were you when you were practicing martial arts? How old are you then, but now you are so lazy." Beitang Rongdu put his arms around the man's arm and said with a smile, "Why do you always use my childhood as an issue?" Smiling, but his face slowly became silent in a place where Beitang Zun Yue couldn't see.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

On April 21st of the second year of Hongjing, there was great auspiciousness.

... Concubine Mu Shi was ordered by the Ming Dynasty to be a side concubine in the East Palace. The ceremony of advocating prosperity and the righteousness of Dundusi is to benefit in Yongzhen and to promote the emblem. I hereby order Dian to be in charge of the imperial concubine, to control the concubines of the Eastern Palace internally, to prosper the clan, and to assist the crown prince externally. , Muzi dynasty code.

……

Before dawn in the morning, Mu Qingping got up and sat quietly in front of the dressing table with a calm expression. It was Cuiping, a female officer in Rongdu Palace in Beitang, who was dressing her according to the etiquette. It took a lot of time to finally After careful grooming, she changed into an incomparably complicated dress. When she was done dressing and changing clothes, Mu Qingping, surrounded by palace people, took a Zhaifeng car to the Taimiao for the canonization ceremony. After the ceremony was over, she went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor and kowtow to the saint Well, since the canonization is not the emperor assigning the prince's concubine, but the side concubine being put on the throne, it is not too complicated, but the process is very time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not completed until the afternoon.

After the canonization ceremony, Mu Qingping returned to the east of the city together with Beitang Rongdu in a car. At this time, Qionghua Palace had already been decorated, and the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the main hall was full of festive meaning, which almost made people feel happy. People were a little dizzy, all the high-ranking female family members in the East Palace had already arrived, and they were seated according to their seats, all of them dressed up beautifully. When the banquet started, they all congratulated Mu Qingping one after another. They were all smiling like flowers, beaming with joy. Mu Qingping sat beside Rongdu in Beitang, her posture was dignified and appropriate, and she smiled slightly. .

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

After the canonization ceremony, the charm of spring became stronger and the weather became warmer. There were only pedestrians walking on the street, which was full of prosperity.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of horseshoes from far to near, and in the blink of an eye, I saw several fast horses galloping past, and pedestrians gave way one after another, but this did not attract much attention. , especially in Beijing, the folk customs are very aggressive.

A few cavalry rode their horses straight to the east of the city, galloped quickly along the special horse racing field, and came to the East Palace. The leader waved the token in his hand, and the soldiers guarding the gate immediately let go. , walking quickly towards the inside alone.

Gu Xing went all the way to Beitang Rongdu's usual office. After passing the eunuch's report outside, he stepped inside to report. At this time, the weather was warm and the room was bright. Beitang Rongdu was wearing a wide-sleeved long coat. Wearing a jade crown, Mu Qingping was sitting next to Beitang Jiaqi in her arms, with a food box in hand, presumably she was personally delivering snacks to Beitang Rongdu, the three of them were talking with smiles, Beitang Rongdu's jade face was full of red lips, With black hair like a waterfall, he looks like a noble son, only the majesty between his eyebrows reveals his status as the heir apparent.

Gu Xing entered inside and saw Mu Qingping in luxurious palace attire, bright eyes and black bun, sitting in the seat holding Beitang Jiaqi, immediately lowered her eyes slightly, did not look carefully, just bowed down and said: "This subordinate has seen the prince. Your Highness, I have seen the empress and the princess." Beitang Rongdu raised his hand: "...get up." Just as the words fell, Mu Qingping stood up and said: "...since there is business, I will bring a good date down."

Beitang Rongdu nodded slightly, motioning for her to take the children back, and said, "Gu is planning to discuss with Zhibai again today about hiring a husband for the children, and I will go to your place for lunch at noon." Mu Qingping There was an almost imperceptible flash in his eyes, but he said: "Yesterday you said that you had discussed this matter with the Marquis of Red Nan, why are you still..." Beitang Rongdu smiled and said: "It's not so easy to settle down, here You can't be casual about this matter, Zhibai is very experienced, so I will leave this matter to him." Mu Qingping smiled slightly, and without saying anything else, she led Beitang Jiaqi to resign, and when his wife and daughter left, Beitang Rongdu The smiling expression on his face gradually became flat, his eyes were deep, and he said: "The matter has been settled?" Gu Xing lowered his hand and said: "Yes." After a pause, he explained the matter carefully one by one. After listening to the report, Beitang Rongdu asked the other party to retreat, then called the eunuch on duty, and said: "Go and ask the Marquis of Zhuannan to come over." The eunuch took the order and left. After showing him a seat, the two began to discuss.

But after Mu Qingping came out, she sent Beitang Jiaqi back to Concubine Song, returned to Qionghua Palace by herself, wrote a short note quickly, and then called her confidant maid to come forward and took out a jade from her purse. The cards were handed over to the other party, and a few instructions were given in a low voice. The maid took the two things and put them away, then took the order and left.

Not long after, Yin Zhibai left the East Palace and returned to the Mansion of the South Marquis. When he entered the inner room, his wife came up to change his clothes and said, "His Royal Highness invites Lord Hou to come over today. Could it be that it is still for the emperor and the princess to invite Mr. Is it?" Yin Zhibai said casually: "...Of course, the emperor's grandson is not too young, it's time for enlightenment, and when the second emperor's grandson is a little older, they should all study together."

Mrs. Yin is also from a wealthy family, so she knows the importance of this matter. Even ordinary families value children's enlightenment, let alone the royal family?The princes and grandsons were born noble, and the teacher not only taught the children to read and write, but also played a guiding role in the process of education. Therefore, choosing a teacher is a relatively important issue, so he smiled and said: "It is not only to teach the children Teacher, the character and knowledge are of the utmost importance, and you will be expected to succeed in the future." Yin Zhibai nodded, glanced at his wife, and said nothing, Madam Yin said softly: "...Since the crown prince discussed this matter with the Hou The thing, presumably, is to entrust the matter of choosing a teacher to Lord Hou?"

When Yin Zhibai heard this, his eyes jumped slightly, and he said in his mouth: "That's right." Madam Yin said softly, "This is a big deal, the grandson always needs someone with outstanding character and academics to teach him...
