As spring goes and autumn comes, the stars and frost move repeatedly, and it is ten years later in the blink of an eye.

Xie Qing, who was still a small boy in the past, has grown into a handsome young man now.

Today, he and two friends made an appointment to meet in Taibai Tower.At that time, he set off from the door of his house in a carriage.

When the carriage arrived in front of Taibai Tower, he put on the veiled hat before getting out of the carriage.

"Young Master Xie, please come upstairs." Xiaoer recognized Xie Qing at a glance, and took him to a private room attentively.

Xie Qing walked into the box and took off his veiled cap.The older he was, the more handsome he was, and he put on his veiled hat and went out to avoid trouble.

Rao Fang Luochen and Su Jimei were used to seeing Xie Qing's appearance, so they couldn't help but choke their breath.All the rhetoric seems to be pale under that face.

Fang Luochen is Xie Qing's younger brother, and now he is an official worshiper of Zhongshu Sheren.He has improved a lot in the art of looking at people, and he likes to criticize people, and he often speaks to the point.Emperor Wen was very fond of him, and wrote a personal letter with his imperial pen, and named him "the best physiognomy in the world".

Su Jimei is a romantic and elegant guest, a gentleman in white clothes.He wrote good Ci, which was sung all over the world, so he has the reputation of "the first talented man in Zhongzhou".However, because of his arrogant personality, he was abandoned by Emperor Wen.Since he has no hope of official career, he often rolls around in the pink pile, and he has captured many hearts.

Xie Qing found that there were not only his two friends, but also a graceful beauty in the box.

The beauty stared blankly at Xie Qing, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses, "I've always been conceited about my looks, but when I saw you today, I felt so vulgar."

Xie Qing said awkwardly, "This is..."

"This is my confidante, Miss Yange from Youmenglou." Su Jimei introduced.

Xie Qing greeted politely, "Hi, Miss Yan Ge."

"Hello, Mr. Xie." Two red clouds flew up on Yan Ge's cheeks.

Su Jimei boasted: "Yan Ge's singing voice is mellow, it can be said to be unique in the capital."

Yan Ge fetched the pipa, plucked the strings with plain hands, "The little girl is showing her ugliness." She opened her red lips lightly, and sang:

"The hibiscus falls all over the sky and the water, and the sun sets and the waves rise. Flying on the back, the two swallows stick to the cold clouds, looking alone at the east bank of the small building, leaning on the lanai.

Floating life only respects the former elders, and the road of Chang'an is covered with snow.The old man gave me Jiangnan □□ and a branch of plum in the morning and evening. "

The singing had stopped, and everyone remained silent for a long time.

Fang Luochen raised the wine glass in front of him, drank it down, and sighed: "Fusheng is only respectful to the elders, and the road to Chang'an is full of snow..."

Xie Qing praised: "The people are beautiful, the songs are beautiful, and the words are also beautiful."

"Master Xie is really going to beat me to death." Yan Ge said shyly.

Xie Qing, Fang Luochen and Su Jimei chatted for a while, while Yan Ge listened with a smile.

Suddenly, there was a noise outside the window.

Everyone went to the window and saw that there was a man running on the street, knocking down many vendors and pedestrians.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are people who are so rampant!" Su Jimei said angrily.

Xie Qing noticed the hesitation on Yan Ge's face, and said: "Miss Yan Ge has something to say, but it's okay to say it, there are only four of us here, and we won't spread it."

"That person often comes to Youmenglou, and he pays on credit every time. I heard from the sisters in the building that he is a domestic slave in General Xiahou's residence." Yan Ge whispered.

Su Jimei became more and more angry, "A house slave is so arrogant, yet his master has turned against the heavens!"

"General Xiahou guarded the frontier, and his military achievements are illustrious, and he is very valued by His Majesty." Fang Luochen said lightly, "But, 'Great achievements lead to resentment, and power is a crisis.'"

"Junior brother's words are very true." Xie Qing nodded slightly, "A person who takes credit for his actions will not be credited for his actions; a person who seeks to repay him will not be rewarded for his favor."

General Xiahou, whose full name is Xiahougou.He has a daughter named Xiahou Qiuluo, who will soon become the Ninth Prince's Concubine.Xie Qing knew that this man had been a self-denying and good minister when he was young, but Emperor Wen's acquiescence and even indulgence towards him eventually ruined him.

The reason why Xia Hougou was loved by Emperor Wen was because of his military exploits.The reason why Emperor Wen made the decision to eradicate Xiahougou was also because of his military exploits.It can be said that success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He.

The noise outside the window was even louder, and the noise made people's ears hurt.

Xie Qing looked from a distance and found that the house slave was still riding on the horse, arguing with someone, and a carriage fell on the side of the road.He changed his color and said, "That's Princess Qi's carriage!"

Everyone looked at each other and went down the Taibai Tower.

Princess Chu Ke of the Qi Kingdom is the beloved daughter of Emperor Wen. Although she is young, she has the talent of thanking Ting and singing snow.Her biological mother is the queen, and the present prince is her elder brother.If such a young girl with golden branches and jade leaves is injured by the servants of General Xiahou, there will be another change in the court.

On the long street, the house slave knocked over the princess's carriage and didn't even get off the horse. He looked down at the maids and guards, "I am a house slave in the residence of General Xiahou, who dares to touch me!"

Su Jimei said coldly: "It's so majestic and powerful. If you didn't say that you are the servant of General Xiahou, I would have thought it was General Xiahou who came personally!"

The servant's face turned red, and he was about to whip Su Jimei with a whip.

Xie Qing hurriedly pushed Su Jimei away, and the whip hit his arm.

Su Jimei grabbed Xie Qing's hand, that whip mark against Ruyu's skin was extremely dazzling.He looked at his servant and said angrily, "How dare you hurt someone!"

"My sister is the concubine of General Xiahou, let alone hurt you, a poor scholar, what if she killed you!" The house slave said proudly.

"Okay, okay." Su Jimei was furious, her eyes were red, "I want to see if you dare to kill me, Su Jimei!"

Even a three-year-old child knows the name of Zhongzhou's number one talented scholar.The house slave said with luck: "Which Su Jimei are you?"

"Is there a second Su Jimei in the world who can write a thousand words by relying on a horse?" Fang Luochen wrapped a handkerchief around the wound on Xie Qing's arm, feeling very angry in his heart.But he has a dull personality, and he can't see it on the surface, "By the way, the person you hurt is the eldest son of Chen Liuxie's family, the companion of His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and the current author Lang Xieqing."

Xie Qing asked a court lady: "How is Your Highness the Princess?"

"His Royal Highness was not injured, but was very frightened." The maid replied.

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief, Princess Qi was not injured just like what happened in the book.And the Liang Zi between the prince and Xia Hougou was thus formed.Xia Hougou, who originally intended to marry his daughter to the prince, began to support the nine princes.

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you allow this evil slave to commit murder!"

Before anyone arrives, the sound arrives first.

Prince Chu Yan led a group of people and came in mighty force.He took the lead, handsome and extraordinary, and his first horse was also very handsome, he was really a heavenly man.

He pointed at the house slave with a horsewhip, "Come here, tie up this evil slave for me."

A few guards behind him stepped forward and tied the slave tightly.

"You can't treat me like this, I am a member of General Xiahou!" the servant shouted.

He was kicked a few times by those guards before he settled down.

Chu Yan saw Xie Qing and noticed that there was a handkerchief tied on his arm, "Why are you here, what happened to your hand?"

Without waiting for Xie Qing to answer, Su Jimei took the lead and said: "His Royal Highness, we were drinking in a restaurant on the side of the street. When we heard the commotion, we came out to take a look. We saw this evil slave knocked over the carriage of His Royal Highness. We and He reasoned, but instead he whipped Xie Qing."

Chu Yan said nothing, and whipped the slave's arm at the same position.He possessed martial arts, and he was not vulgar. When he was whipped down, the slaves screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

He threw away the whip, "What's wrong with Keke?"

A beautiful girl in palace costume came out more and more. She lay on Chu Yan's chest and began to cry, like pear blossoms with rain, which made people feel pity.

Seeing that Chu Ke was not injured, Chu Yan was mostly relieved.He patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "Ke Ke is not afraid, with Brother Huang here, no one will bully you."

Chu Ke got into a new carriage, and before she got into the carriage, she looked back.Except for herself, no one knew whether she was looking at Xie Qing, Fang Luochen or Su Jimei.

Chu Yan got on his horse and held out his hand to Xie Qing, "Come back to the palace with me, the wound on your arm needs to be treated."

Xie Qing refused: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, this little injury is nothing to worry about."

Chu Yan didn't want to force it, and took a deep look at Xie Qing, and rode away.

Fang Luochen looked at the prince's men and horses going away, and said, "Is this purely a coincidence?"

The prince was born of the empress, and he was favored by Emperor Wen and supported by all the officials.If he married Xia Hougou's daughter, he would be like a tiger with wings added.For him, the throne of the emperor is like picking something out of a pocket.

Xia Hougou couldn't marry his daughter to the crown prince, and he was at odds with Concubine Xian's family politics, so his only choice was the Ninth Prince.

As the only beneficiary of this matter, the Ninth Prince Chu Jue, could he be the mastermind behind the scenes?

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, it doesn't matter to us." Xie Qing lowered his eyes.

The servants of Xiahou's mansion were imprisoned in the sky prison, and several forces started a verbal war over this matter, causing a heated argument.

Xia Hougou, who was one of the center of the incident, only sent a memorial and downplayed the matter.He said that Princess Qi was not injured, and that his slave was not guilty of any serious crimes. He was imprisoned in the sky prison and wasted the country's money and food, which made him feel uneasy.

In the end, Xia Hougou was fined one year's salary, and the house slave was punished with fifty sticks.Both the queen and the prince were dissatisfied with such a punishment, but it could not change Emperor Wen's mind.However, the crown prince and Xia Hougou were torn apart, and there was no possibility of cooperation.
