Dayin Golden Gate

On the day Xie Qing left, Xie Changkang did not see him off, but Shui Pei, Xie Bi, Bai Liying and some relatives of Xie's family all came.

After exchanging greetings with several uncles, Xie Qing walked up to Bailiying.

Baili Ying caressed her long beard, "Let's stay away now, I'll give you a word."

"Sir, please speak." Xie Qing said respectfully.

Baili Ying said solemnly: "If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if it is piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if it is higher than the crowd, the crowd will slander it."

"Xie Qing is taught." Although Xie Qing also knows this truth, but fame is a double-edged sword, and given his circumstances, he has no choice but to hold it in his hands.

In the book, Xie Qing "was known as a child prodigy when he was young, but he had no great ambitions. He was unknown for a long time, and he died with the grass and trees in the end." With his family background and talents, he died under the queen's cup of poisoned wine, because he Indulging in love, willing to be the person behind the prince.If Xie Qing is famous all over the world, how dare the empress attack him.

Shui Pei came forward with Xie Bi, "Young Master, Long Zhang Feng Zi, will definitely make a big splash in the capital."

Xie Qing smiled, but did not speak.

Shui Peirong remained unchanged, and pushed Xie Bi's back.

Xie Bi whispered: "I wish my brother smooth sailing."

"Because of the emperor's order, I can't be filial to my father. You are at home, please take care of my father." Xie Qing felt a little sentimental.

"Miss Bi and Master have a deep bond of flesh and blood. If the young master doesn't say anything, Miss Bi will take care of the master." Shui Pei was smiling, but there was no smile in her eyes. She pushed Xie Bi's back again.

Xie Bi said seriously: "Don't worry, brother, my mother and I will take care of my father."

Xie Qing nodded and got into the carriage.

The Xie family's convoy was on the road in a mighty manner, looking like a long snake from a distance.

The convoy traveled for several months before reaching the capital.Although the carriage is extremely luxurious and comfortable, it cannot be compared with modern times after all. Xie Qing has suffered from the exhaustion of the carriage.

The Xie family purchased a house in the capital, and the group settled down in that house.

Although the house is cleaned from time to time, it is not spotless.Before the evening mirror and Liujing stools were warmed up, they led the people to clean up.

Xie Qing fell asleep in the room, and it was already dark when he got up.

Wan Jing stood by the bed, "Master, do you want to eat?"

Xie Qing slept for most of the day, and really felt hungry, "Okay."

Wan Jing went out, and came back shortly after with a tray containing some porridge and side dishes.She put the things in the tray on the table one by one, "Young master hasn't eaten for a long time, I was afraid that the oily food would hurt my stomach, so I asked the kitchen to get some light food."

Xie Qing picked up the chopsticks and started eating.He had only eaten half of it when Liu Jing burst into the door in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Xie Qing put down his chopsticks.

"Pei Hongjian, the eldest son of the Pei family, is here." Liu Jing handed over a greeting card.

Naturally, Pei Hongjian came here to show his favor to Xie Qing, but Xie Qing had no intention of accepting this favor.Not to mention Pei Hongjian's current status as the first person, the Pei family behind him is also a sacrifice under the reform of the new emperor in the future.

Xie Qing didn't even answer the invitation, and said flatly, "Just say I'm asleep."

"...Yes." Although Liu Jing didn't understand Xie Qing's intentions, he received Wan Jing's gaze.

Xie Qing picked up the chopsticks again, but his appetite was not as strong as before.After he finished eating, he practiced his calligraphy and went to bed.He leaned against the bed and read for a while before turning off the light and going to sleep.

The next day, Xie Qing went to the palace to meet Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen wore a black gauze and a turban on his head, and a golden dragon robe. His voice was slightly hoarse, "Are you Xie Qing, the son of Xie Changkang?"

Xie Qing knelt on the ground, not daring to look at Emperor Wen's face, but could only stare at the black leather boots on Emperor Wen's feet, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Not bad." Emperor Wen said lazily.

The meaning of Emperor Wen's words was unclear, which made everyone puzzled, and they didn't know what he said about Xie Qing.

Concubine Xian was sitting next to Emperor Wen, her hair was combed into a bun, she was wearing a jade win, she was wearing a short sleeve with narrow sleeves, and she was wearing a shawl—this outfit, among concubines, could be said to be very simple.However, she had two sons for Emperor Wen, and her position in the harem was as stable as Mount Tai, so she didn't need to invite favors or flattery.She looked at Xie Qing and felt satisfied, "You and Cong'er should get along well."

"Yes, Concubine Xian." Xie Qing felt that he could see a hole in Emperor Wen's black leather boots.

Emperor Wen picked up a whisk with a jade handle and played with it, "Have you met the Seventh Prince?"

"I haven't met His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince yet." Xie Qing replied.

Emperor Wen asked indifferently: "Is your father okay?"

"Father is fine." Xie Qing knelt for such a long time for the first time, feeling some pain in his knees.

"I heard that you were ill before." Concubine Xian suddenly said.

Xie Qing was taken aback, and said calmly, "Xie Qing occasionally caught a cold, and he has recovered now, thank you for your concern."

Suddenly, an eunuch came in and whispered to Emperor Wen for a while.

Emperor Wen waved the whisk in his hand, and handed it to the eunuch beside him, "I reward you."

The eunuch handed the whisk to Xie Qing, "Thank you soon."

After Xie Qing said five sentences, he was rewarded by Emperor Wen, and he couldn't help crying and laughing.He took the whisk, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." His hands were as white as the jade handle of the whisk, almost the same color.

Emperor Wen couldn't help staring at Xie Qing's hand for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses until Concubine Xian called him a few times.

"Your Majesty is tired?" Concubine Xian said with a smile.

Emperor Wen gave a "hmm" and turned his gaze away.

Concubine Xian waved her hand, "Since Your Majesty is tired, Xie Qing, you can step back."

"Xie Qing resigns." Xie Qing went out and let out a sigh of relief.

A little eunuch walked up to Xie Qing, "My lord, please follow me."

"Thank you." Xie Qing knew that the eunuch was going to take him to see the seventh prince Chu Cong, and for a long time in the future, he would be tied to the prince he was about to meet.

There are many palaces and palaces, I don't know how long they walked, Xie Qing and the little eunuch came to a martial arts arena.

A boy about the same age as Xie Qing was fighting a trainer with a wooden sword in his hand. Although he was young, his every move had already faintly revealed everyone's demeanor.

The little eunuch bowed and said loudly: "See His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince."

The Seventh Prince Chu Cong stopped his movements and looked at Xie Qing with bright eyes.Pointing at Xie Qing with his wooden sword, he said, "Whose family are you young lady?"

Xie Qing was too embarrassed to speak, so he could only laugh.

The little eunuch laughed out loud, "Oh, Your Highness, this is the son of Chen Liuxie's family, your companion."

Chu Cong showed a disappointed look, "It's a man." But in an instant, he showed his face and said, "You are so beautiful, much better than my last companion."

Xie Qing is an adult in the end, he doesn't want to have the same knowledge as a child, so he just smiled and said nothing.

Chu Cong took Xie Qing's hand and walked up to another boy, "Look, Brother Six, this is my companion."

It was only then that Xie Qing noticed that there was another person standing beside the martial arts arena—he was slightly older than Chu Cong, with a expressionless face, and he looked like a mature young man.This person must be the sixth prince Chu Yu.

Chu Yu stared at Xie Qing for a while, then turned his head away.

Chu Cong didn't care about Chu Yu's indifference at all, and said to himself, "Sixth brother, when I saw him, I had an indescribable liking for him. Could it be that this is the 'overwhelming old' as mentioned in the book?"

Xie Qing felt very strange when Chu Cong held his hand, but he couldn't pull his hand out.

"It takes three days to test the jade, and it takes seven years to identify the material." Chu Yu said coldly, "You've only met him for the first time, so you can tell what it is."

"He's pretty." Chu Cong said in a natural tone.

Chu Yu sneered, "There are many people in this world who are 'outside the gold and jade, but inside the rot'."

Xie Qing felt that Chu Yu was showing a subtle hostility towards him.He, the second monk, couldn't figure out where he had aroused the disgust of the sixth prince.He cupped his hands and said, "Why don't His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince test me to see if I'm 'failed'."

Chu Yu stared at Xie Qing for a while, "Okay, I will test you." He paused, "I have a match, if you come up right, I will reward you; if you are right If you come up, you will be punished."

"Please show the upper couplet." Xie Qing asked himself that he is a top student in the Chinese Department of a well-known university in China, and it is impossible to be stumped by a pair made by a child.

Chu Yu showed a cold smile, "You don't even ask about punishment, Mr. Xie must have a plan in mind."

Xie Qing said nothing, but smiled back, like a spring breeze blowing across the lake, causing ripples in a pool.

Chu Yu thought for a while, and said, "Ten miles of Chang'an Street, there are thousands of households, and there will be long-term peace and stability."

This upper couplet contains the numbers ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, and it dismantles Chang'an to make it stable and stable. It is indeed a good upper couplet.

Xie Qing couldn't think of the second line for a while, and fell into deep thought.Suddenly, he thought of how many tall buildings he saw when he entered Beijing, and asked about the name "Yongding Building".

"Excuse me?" Chu Yu said sarcastically.

"Several Yongding Buildings, a family of four generations and hundreds of people will enjoy stability forever." Xie Qing smiled, "I wonder what His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince thinks of my second couplet?"

Chu Yu remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "That's right."

Xie Qing remembered that Emperor Wen also said that he was good not long ago, although Emperor Wen felt that the sixth prince was not like him, Xie Qing felt that the two were very similar.

Chu Yu took off a string of red agate beads from his wrist and handed it to Xie Qing, "Here you are."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Xie Qing was holding the beads, but for some reason, he felt a little hot.
