Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

Yan Ci walked back in a daze all the way.I just feel that the crowds coming and going on the long street are like floating flowers, and they can't be seen clearly.

When Uncle Zhong heard the knock and came to open the door, he saw Yan Ci standing in front of the door with his head lowered, staring fixedly at a rattle in his hand.

Uncle Zhong stepped forward and called out, "Master, why did you come back at this hour? Did you have lunch?"

Yan Ci came back to his senses when he heard Bo Zhong's words, "I won't eat. I have no appetite. There is nothing interesting on the long street, so I came back early." Yan Ci said as he walked inside.Still holding the rattle tightly in his hand.

Uncle Zhong followed all the way, seeing Yan Ci's face turned red and white, he couldn't help asking worriedly, "What's the matter, sir. If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, you can tell me that it will be bad if you don't have a fever at night. "

Yan Ci raised the rattle in his hand, looked at it twice, sighed softly, and said, "I'm thinking of dying of illness."

Uncle Zhong served Yan Ci for two days, and saw that although he was sometimes paranoid like a child, most of the time he was smart and alert.

At this moment, I don't know what happened to me on the street, I just held the rattle and fell into a daze.

But seeing that Yan Ci didn't want to say more, he had to say, "If you feel tired, go back to your room and rest, and the villain will prepare some fruits for you to eat. The weather is getting hotter, don't get caught in the heat."

Yan Ci glanced at Uncle Zhong, and said, "No need, if you want me to find you again, just go and rest on your own."

After speaking, he walked to the main house on his own, leaving Uncle Zhong standing alone in the courtyard shaking his head and sighing.

Yan Ci went into the room and took off his outer robe. When he came to the table, before he could put down the rattle in his hand, he heard Uncle Zhong knock on the door, "Master, can you lie down?"

Yan Ci went to open the door and said, "Didn't I say that if I want to eat, I will look for you again."

Uncle Zhong handed over a gold-sealed greeting note in his hand, and said, "Master, the younger one is here to give this."

Yan Ci was taken aback for a moment, and took the greeting card from Uncle Zhong, and a sentence in cursive script like flowing clouds and flowing water came into view:

Tomorrow at Sishi, Shenlong Racecourse, I hope that all the lords will appreciate your face.BMW horse.I would like to share the reward with you.

Yan resigned to read the inscription.A pendant character engraved in seal is striking.He was the seventh son of the emperor.

Yan Ci's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered the arrow wound on his shoulder.

There are conspiracies and tricks everywhere in this palace.How many times did that person escape from death before he could regard these dirty methods as ordinary, and this Seventh Prince, who is as famous as Du Zijin, has faint rumors about the discord between the two, and the power in this vortex... Pulling and pulling made Yan Ci feel more scruples.

"When was it delivered?" Yan Ci asked.

"Just now, when my master entered the house, the people from the Seventh Prince's house came. They also said that you are the champion of the new discipline. Please come, otherwise you will lose the face of the Seventh Prince." Uncle Zhong conveyed carefully .

Yan Ci nodded slightly, "Understood, you go now."

Uncle Zhong nodded and left, Yan Ci turned back to the house again.In the afternoon at the end of March, when the heat came up, Yan Ci felt a little bored.

He only opened the flower window, and propped up the window to see the sky outside which was beginning to become gloomy.

Since Awakening of Insects, there hasn't been a good rain.Yan Ci stood by the window for a long time, and saw a big tree in the distance being swayed by the spring breeze. The mountain rain was about to come and the wind filled the building, and the strong wind rolled up the yellow mud in the yard. In a blink of an eye, there was a dusty scene .

Yan Ci closed the window, his mind was full of the scenes in Zhenxiu Pavilion.I was very upset, and the rain outside was getting heavier, so I had no choice but to lift the quilt to rest.

When Yan Ci woke up again, it was already midnight.Uncle Zhong could still hear the subtle sound he made, and soon brought hot porridge, a plate of chicken strips with braised sauce, and a serving of pickled green leaves.

Because it was raining and it was midnight again, Yan Ci put on his outer robe, cleaned his hands, ate something, and left Uncle Zhong to chat.

"Uncle Zhong, what is the current situation in the court?" Yan Ci held up the teacup and asked casually.

Uncle Zhong was startled, and hurriedly got up to check the doors and windows. After confirming that there was no one there, he said, "Master. Why are you asking these questions?"

Yan Ci smiled, motioned Uncle Zhong to sit down, and said, "It's just you and me, what are you afraid of?"

Zhong Bo paused and said, "I'm the first official in the imperial court, it's better to be careful. Don't let those who are interested listen to it. This is a serious crime of beheading."

Yan Ci just laughed and didn't speak. He felt more and more that Uncle Zhong was not an ordinary butler servant, but he didn't have any malice towards him.Maybe it's not the time, or maybe I'm overthinking.

Seeing that Yan Ci didn't take it seriously, Uncle Zhong said, "My master has studied hard for ten years, what do you want?"

"Benefit the people." Yan Ci blurted out, but it was also on his mind.The common people are suffering, and which good man does not feel sad.

Uncle Zhong nodded and said, "Since the first day I saw the master, I knew that the master is not the kind of black-hearted person. But according to what I said, if you want to be a good official, you must first learn how to be an official. You If you lose the black gauze hat, where will you go to benefit the people?"

Yan Ci took a sip of tea and felt that Uncle Zhong's words were quite reasonable, so he smiled and motioned Uncle Zhong to continue.

Zhong Bo paused and said, "It's been less than a hundred years since the founding of my dynasty, and it will be ruined. The people are hanging upside down. But the emperor... the emperor, hey, if you want to be a good official for the country and the people, please do it." Slowly figure it out, only when you have secured your official position will you have the opportunity to benefit the common people."

It was dark now.The wind moves outside the window.The occasional breeze blowing through the window cracks gently blows away.The lights in the room flickered slightly.Hyun Ran wants to die.

Yan Ci smiled and said, "That's the truth." He clenched his pale fingers into fists, put them to his mouth and coughed lightly, then picked up the teacup again, but didn't drink it, just lightly Put it in your hand and play with it.It took a long time before he said, "Uncle Zhong knows. What kind of person is the Seventh Prince?"

This question was straightforward, Uncle Zhong subconsciously glanced left and right, and then said cautiously, "In terms of appearance, three points are handsome, and seven points are feminine." Poor. It's just...it's just that the path is not right."

A smile appeared in Yan Ci's eyebrows, and then he said, "How do you say?"

The handsome Yan Ci was born, and he has been very kind to Uncle Zhong these two days. At this moment, he is wearing a robe, sitting under the dim light, smiling brightly, and Uncle Zhong likes it from the bottom of his heart. No more hesitation, just said, "His Royal Highness is the descendant of Empress Liu. He is the crown prince who was appointed by the emperor himself. This is a country with boundless rivers and mountains. The crown prince is a legitimate prince."

Yan Ci's fingers trembled slightly when Uncle Zhong mentioned the prince, and his fingers slipped on the cold edge of the porcelain, almost breaking a good cup of tea.

Uncle Zhong continued, "But the Seventh Prince, because he was born under Empress Liu together with the Crown Prince, felt unwilling in every possible way and wanted to compete for favor. But if His Highness the Crown Prince is incompetent, that's all. Such an honor. The world should belong to him. What's the fight for?"

Yan Ci put the teacup on the table and said, "Does Empress Liu know?"

Uncle Zhong nodded, "The scheming of women in the harem is the most unpredictable. If others are fighting, maybe she will stop it, but unfortunately, the ones who are fighting for the crown prince are all her own children. She is the empress dowager. Rather than letting others take advantage of it, it is better to let the two brothers take advantage of the spring."

"So that's how it is." Yan Ci realized in his heart that the Seventh Prince was probably incompatible with Du Zijin, so he had to be very careful when he went to the appointment tomorrow.

Uncle Zhong shared some anecdotes with Yan Ci, and told Yan Ci to add quilts at night, etc. Before leaving, he locked the windows of the room, and then turned and left.Yan Ci read half a volume of the book for a while, and only fell asleep when tiredness surged up again.

On the second day, Yan resigned and hired a small sedan chair, and rushed towards Shenlong Racecourse.The racecourse is located in the southwest of the suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of ​​[-] mu.When Yan Ci arrived, someone happened to come out to greet him.

Wearing a lavender lined robe, auspicious cloud boots, and black hair tied with a brocade sash, he has an elegant temperament, "Brother Yan..."

Su Ce bowed his hands and saluted.

Yan Ci was dressed in a white robe with a clean face, which was a little too plain compared to Su Ce.Seeing Su Ce at this moment, he hastily cupped his hands in return, "Brother Su..."

"Brother Yan, please come inside, the Seventh Prince is already in the stands with a few brothers."

"Brother Su, please..."

The two entered the racecourse together after some politeness. Su Ce led Yan Ci all the way up to the high platform, and saw a person wearing a sapphire brocade robe sitting on top of you, and there were already several adults beside him.

"Yan Ci has met the Seventh Prince." Yan Ci had just handed over the greeting card, and now he just wanted to say hello and spend the day hiding aside.

Du Zipei looked up and saw Yan Ci, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "So it's Yan Zhuangyuan. Please hurry up." Then he pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Sit next to me."

Yan Ci looked at the adults next to him. If he remembered correctly, they were all the top ministers and important officials in the dynasty.Yan Ci cupped his hands again, "Yan Ci dare not."

Du Zipei smiled and said, "Why. It's fine for Yan Zhuangyuan to eat and drink with my elder brother, but why not watch horses with me?"

Yan Ci was taken aback, it was impossible for Du Zijin to say this.In other words, Du Zipei was very clear about Du Zijin's every move.So what about Du Zijin?Whether he knows Du Zipei's every move or not.

Now, at this moment, the situation I am in.Does he know.

"Your Highness misunderstood. The villain just thinks that the other adults are far above Yan Ci in terms of seniority, and Yan does not dare to make mistakes."

Du Zipei snorted coldly, "Don't you dare? Who wouldn't dare to be someone whom the Crown Prince has the most in mind?"

"The Seventh Prince was joking." Yan Ci bowed his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and loves the people. Every commoner in this world is at the heart of the Crown Prince."

Du Zipei smiled and said, "What a prince, His Highness is benevolent and loves the people. I'll let you see how I, Du Zipei, am not benevolent and love the people. Come here!"

"exist!"

"Go and get the green dragon out. Let Yan Zhuangyuan ride it for me to see."

Yan Ci cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness Seventh Prince. The villain has been afraid of horses since he was a child. Please be considerate, Your Highness."
