The imperial city without the son is no different from the past, the sun rises as usual, and the emperor goes to court as usual.

The new year is coming as scheduled, the streets and alleys are filled with red lanterns to welcome the new year, and even the princes who are confined in the other gardens feel better.

Only Jiang Zeqing was not used to it.

The Sixth Prince's expression became colder day by day, and he looked even more unkind than before.

Emperor Liang's birthday banquet was scheduled for the third day of the first lunar month. At noon, a minister brought his wife to the palace with a birthday gift. The lively atmosphere of the New Year brought the distance between the monarch and his ministers closer.

In the evening, Emperor Liang moved all the ministers to the banquet hall, and the seats for the birthday banquet were more cautious, princes, princes, important officials...

It seems to be no different from previous banquets, but there is no little prince here.

Jiang Zeqing lowered his eyes and pursed his thin lips tightly.

"Hey, it seems that the sixth brother is not very interested in this father's birthday banquet." The third prince raised his glass from a distance, with a gloating expression on his face, "I heard that the sixth brother has not been going well recently, and several businesses under his name have been closed down. , I’m afraid it’s a lot of losses.”

Jiang Zeqing raised his eyelids to look at the third prince, and then calmly looked away.

Seeing Jiang Zeqing in such a sluggish state, the third prince felt refreshed physically and mentally.He was conspired to fall into the lake in the villa, and he had a fever for two whole days. He committed a lot of crimes and even failed to go to the mountain. Although the third prince had no evidence, he intuitively believed that it was Jiang Zeqing who did it.

Back in the imperial city, the third prince couldn't hold back his breath. It just so happened that the prince also wanted to punish Jiang Zeqing. He immediately changed his mind and decided on the spot to merge the sixth prince's firm into the royal firm.

As for the money earned?That is naturally charged into the national treasury.

The third prince thought he had succeeded in revenge, not only cutting off Jiang Zeqing's financial resources, but also causing Jiang Zeqing to suffer so much that he could only drink here. The more Jiang Zeqing ignored him, the more he felt that he was successful.

The third prince was triumphant: "Sixth brother, don't be in a hurry to be sad, maybe there will be more sad things in a while."

Jiang Zeqing picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, with unspeakable melancholy in his heart.

...Ye Liuguang.

How did the third prince know that Jiang Zeqing's depression had nothing to do with the business.

Jiang Zeqing didn't want to run that firm in the early morning. Although his ability to attract money is good, the cycle of making money is too long. He has to hand over a batch to the treasury first when he goes out to search for novelties, and he pays more taxes than usual to make a living. Too much energy.In Jiang Zeqing's eyes, this is simply a loss-making business.

Knowing that Emperor Liang was the crown prince overseeing the country during his visit to the mountain, he deliberately spread the news about the firm's profits, because the prince's impatient temper would definitely reveal the matter of the firm to Emperor Liang, and it was impossible for Emperor Liang to let one go. Great opportunity to recharge the treasury.

After Liang Huang took over the firm, he still needs to employ people to run it. He has a large amount of money left to hire workers, and he can still get dividends from Liang Huang for nothing every year.

"The south of the Yangtze River is rich and the scenery is good, but King Pingyang stays in the frontier all day, so the big fiefdom is placed there, and he will not enjoy it at all." King Shuo drank a lot of wine tonight, relying on the fact that King Pingyang himself was not present , and then Jiu Jiner started talking nonsense.

Jiangnan is the fiefdom of King Pingyang. It has a large territory, pleasant climate, and beautiful scenery. Literati and poets often write beautiful poems, attracting foreigners to go there. There is no need to worry about the annual tribute when the bowl is full.

The princes' eyes have been hot for a long time, but they only dare to speak sour words at this time.

"Jiangnan is good." Liang Huang was already a little drunk, he swung his wine glass, "Ye Zhandu hasn't returned to Jiangnan for several years, he just lives in the frontier, I don't know if he still remembers that he has With such a fiefdom, even the magistrate of Jiangnan County is the one I allocated to him."

King Shuo almost couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard Emperor Liang's pretentious words.What can't you remember?Can't remember the ground and can't remember the money?People who are emperors are different, they can put the manpower in such a fresh and refined way.

These princes were all former brothers of Emperor Liang. After Emperor Liang ascended the throne, he did not want to keep these brothers in the imperial city, so they gave them fiefs one by one and sent them out.

"Time flies so fast, and spring will begin in a blink of an eye," Emperor Liang sighed, "Prince, after the new year, go to Jiangnan and see what's going on there."

"Yes, father." The prince replied, and then subconsciously glanced at the sixth prince, who happened to meet his gaze.

The ministers below heard Lianghuang's words clearly, and the alcohol was half gone in an instant.

... Isn't this Jiangnan governor destined to be the sixth prince? How did he end up becoming a prince?

Their eyes wandered between the sixth prince and the crown prince, unable to figure out what kind of routine His Majesty is changing.

The third prince is definitely the one who laughs the happiest in the whole field. He has long known that his father is going to give his brother the position of governor of Jiangnan!

Jiang Zeqing was not surprised by this. Ever since he came back from worshiping the mountain, Emperor Liang was quite dissatisfied with him, as if he was angry at why he didn't die on the mountain with Prince Pingyang's son.

Outright impotent rage.

Jiang Zeqing turned a blind eye to the eyes of his surroundings, his expression became more and more lazy, and he poured himself wine in silence, just like a child who was heartbroken by his father but dared not argue.

At night after the banquet, a few ministers confessed their crimes and wanted to go home. Others laughed at their strict wives, but they agreed with a teasing laugh, and they drank a few sips of wine before wandering out of the palace.

Someone made a start, and more and more people wanted to leave. Liang Huang waved his hand when he saw this, "Okay, okay, let's go, I won't keep you in the New Year's Eve, go home early to accompany you." Children. Zeqing and I will go to the meeting hall."

After Liang Huang finished speaking, he left first, causing the ministers to wonder what he meant.

In public, the position of the sixth prince was given to the prince, but when the banquet was not over, he took the sixth prince to the meeting hall.Is this important or not?

Council Hall.

"I know that you are dissatisfied with entrusting the crown prince with the position of governor of the south of the Yangtze River." Emperor Liang cut straight to the point.

Jiang Zeqing was still looking sluggish, unable to raise his spirits.

Seeing this, Emperor Liang smiled instead: "Is that why you miss Liu Guang?"

Jiang Zeqing raised his eyes to Emperor Liang when he heard the word "Liuguang", "I don't know what the emperor is talking about."

He drank, his voice was slightly hoarse at the moment, he looked a little tired, but in fact his whole body tensed up.

"When Liu Guang was young, he was exquisite like a doll in New Year pictures. You never saw him in Lenggong when you were young. I don't know that your elder brothers almost plucked all the flowers in the imperial garden to make Liu Guang happy." Liang Huang half-dozed. Looking up, he talked about Ye Liuguang's childhood anecdotes in a soothing tone.

"Liu Guang has been naughty since he was a child, and he doesn't learn the rules well, but no matter who sees him, he likes him, and he can't bear to criticize him."

Liang Huang suddenly opened his eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Of course, it's more because he dare not be harsh. His father is the Pingyang King who controls the world. Millions of Liang soldiers don't recognize the tiger talisman, only recognize the Pingyang King. The son of Pingyang King Naturally, he is the most precious person in the world."

"If the king of Pingyang knew that you had such thoughts for his son, what would he do?" Emperor Liang sarcastically said.

Jiang Zeqing lowered his eyes.

It doesn't matter, just took Xiao Shizi away, and didn't even let him take a look.

Liang Huang's eyes seemed to be poisoned, "Pingyang King is not dead, you will never get Ye Liuguang for the rest of your life!"

"What's the use of being depressed in the imperial city, my father allows you to go to the border..."

Jiang Zeqing raised his eyes.

When Emperor Liang saw this, he really thought so, and bewitched him: "Kill King Pingyang, and Ye Liuguang will be yours."

Eunuch Liu lifted up a brocade box, Jiang Zeqing looked at Emperor Liang and finally reached out to take it.

Emperor Liang said with satisfaction: "Let's set off tomorrow."

Jiang Zeqing: "Yes."

Jiang Zeqing returned to the Prince's Mansion with the brocade box, and several subordinates waited for him in the lobby of the front yard with their sleepiness.

Seeing the master came back, the subordinate hurriedly asked: "Your Highness, the emperor did not make things difficult for you, did you?"

Jiang Zeqing shook his head.

The subordinate was indignant: "You took the position of governor of the south of the Yangtze River with your own ability! Why did the prince take advantage of it!"

Jiang Zeqing took off the fox fur and said calmly, "He is the emperor, so he can do whatever he wants."

The older subordinate asked: "I don't know why Your Majesty is looking for you?"

Jiang Zeqing paused: "He wants me to go to the frontier and leave tomorrow."

"How does this work!"

Jiang Zeqing's eyes flickered slightly: "If you can't do it, you have to do it."

After his subordinate left angrily, Jiang Zeqing immediately went back to the house and took out the token from Xiao Shizi.

——A jade pendant engraved with the words "Luguang".

He rubbed the jade pendant with his fingertips, the anguish in his heart was swept away, and his eyes were bright.

Emperor Liang actually asked him to go to the frontier, so he could see Liu Guang again!

Times come and go but that's it.

Jiang Zeqing's eyes were full of joy, and he wished he could run to the frontier right now. When his sight touched the brocade box gifted by Emperor Liang just now, his face darkened with disdain.

What does it mean that if King Pingyang is not dead, I will never get Glazed Light?

Can't I pursue Liu Guang and make Liu Guang like me too!

Love each other, go both ways, and then... for a long time.

The tips of Jiang Zeqing's ears turned red.

The sixth prince was in a hurry to set off for the frontier. He couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and woke up to throw away his things for the trip. When he checked his things at dawn, he realized that all he had packed were gifts for the little prince.

New Year's lanterns, lucky beads, new clothes, jade ornaments, and...

A water-blue jade hairpin.

This jade hairpin looked quite inconspicuous among all the gifts, it was too plain, and it was flattering to say that there were carvers, but it was just a bare hairpin without any patterns.

The only thing that looks novel is that the water head of this jade hairpin is clear, and there is a trace of powder on the top, which looks cute and cute.

Those who choose jade obviously have a good eye.

Jiang Zeqing picked up the jade hairpin, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and when he arrived at the frontier, he gave the jade hairpin he carved himself to Xiao Shizi.

Lucy will understand.

The sixth prince couldn't wait to set off before dawn, and even the entourage given by Emperor Liang couldn't meet the sixth prince.

He traveled day and night, exhausted the horse, and finally arrived at the frontier a month later.

It was cold winter in the frontier at this time, with snow falling all over the sky, ice-covered for thousands of miles, and the city towers were heavily guarded. As soon as he arrived at the city, soldiers with long guns stood guard and questioned him.

As soon as Jiang Zeqing handed over the tokens to the soldiers, the rest of the soldiers shouted excitedly, "Your Majesty is back!"

He turned around and saw a white tiger running murderously towards the city gate in the ice and snow. On the back of the white tiger sat a young man in armor. His eyes were sharp, and the cloak behind him was thrown in the air.

The white tiger stopped firmly in front of the city gate. The next moment, the young man on the tiger's back jumped down and landed right in front of Jiang Zeqing.He looked Jiang Zeqing up and down and snorted coldly.

The soldier said beside him: "My lord, this young master is holding your token. Just when you come back, take him into the city by the way."

"Entering the city?" Ye Liuguang raised his eyelids lightly, and then said lazily, "Give him to my son."

The soldiers immediately clasped Jiang Zeqing's shoulders, and the latter didn't resist, but just looked at Xiao Shizi in a daze.

"My son gave you a token to ask you to come and find me immediately," Xiao Shizi's expression changed, his eyes were extremely fierce, "but how dare you let me wait for you for more than a month!"

"I don't know what's wrong!"

The author has something to say:

Xiaoshizi's first day back to the frontier: When he comes, I will take him out to play!

The second day after Xiao Shizi returned to the frontier: When he comes, I will introduce him to the frontier.

On the third day after Xiaoshizi returned to the frontier: ...Why hasn't Jiang Zeqing come yet?

The fourth day when Xiao Shizi returned to the frontier: he is finished!
