Linque

In the afternoon of that day, after reading the memorial, Ling Ye ordered someone to set up a long table in the open room, and began to draw the twelve pictures of flowers.

The twelfth lunar month flower order is a narcissus, and the Mingcheng Palace has a ready-made reference. If so, it will take at least one or two hours to finish a part-time painting.

Zhu Geng followed to adjust the ink, and the little maid who let Chu Heng go was handing over the pen, and all three of them were a little sad.

It's hard to say whether the queen will come back tomorrow, but tonight, His Majesty will definitely be alone.

It was dusk, and at that time in the dew garden on the outskirts of the imperial capital, Chu Heng was cooking pot with his junior brother Ye Shuli.After the two of them grabbed the last piece of red oily belly, Ye Shuli put down his chopsticks, exhaled hot breath, raised his eyes and asked, "I remember it's not Saturday, why did you leave the palace suddenly?"

Chu Heng wiped his mouth slowly and said, "Your Majesty allowed me to take an extra rest."

Ye Shuli didn't think much, and asked casually, "When will you return to the palace?"

"I didn't say it." Speaking of this, the corners of Chu Heng's lips raised unconsciously, and his eyebrows and eyes became vivid, "What's the matter with you?"

Ye Shuli shook his head, "I just want to ask you if you want to join in the fun tomorrow."

Chu Heng looked up at him.

Ye Shuli rolled his eyes and said, "Tomorrow Xiao Gaomin will go to Jiayonghou's Mansion to apologize to Xu Shao, and Su Lang will go too."

Chu Heng immediately understood: "So you want to go and see how Yong'an Hou Shizi bowed his head to others? But if you go, don't you yourself have to make amends?"

Ye Shuli waved his hand, with a rare look of expectation on his face, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, what's so hard to say, what's rare is that the prince bows his head, which is rare in a hundred years. It just so happens that I haven't bought him a gift for Xinghui's birthday, so I just let this matter go." Write it down, when you return to Lishan, give him something fun, right as a birthday gift, and save money by the way, it’s a good deal.”

"..."

Chu Heng could almost imagine what kind of upheavals would be staged in Lishan at that time. He rubbed his forehead and tried to stop it: "Didn't Master Master ask you to come to the Imperial Capital to see your wife? Master Mistress has an appointment to come to Luyuan tomorrow morning." Appreciating plum blossoms are all ladies and ladies of the imperial capital, why don't you just take a look?"

Ye Shuli shook his head resolutely: "No, I'll go to see the prince and bow his head."

"...Then how about you find a wife?"

Ye Shuli shrugged nonchalantly: "It's fine if you can't find it, and besides, you don't have one either. You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry."

"..." Chu Heng glanced at him, I have.

And it's good, no one can compare.

In the early morning of the next day, the two brothers and sisters parted ways.

In fact, it was not on a whim that Chu Heng left the palace yesterday, even if there was no writing brush, he planned to take some time to come out.

For one thing, he wants to ask the people from Lishan to help him find out about something.Second, Chu Heng’s younger brother, Ye Xinghui, the young master of Lishan Mountain, celebrated his birthday a month ago. He had to choose a gift carefully and let Ye Shuli take it with him when he returned to Lishan Mountain. To fry.

At that time, people valued jade, especially in the capital of the emperor. An inch of gold and an inch of land were at the feet of the emperor, and people's vision was also high. The jade articles that are idle can't be seen, and the ones that can be sold in the Qiongyu Pavilion for the princes of the aristocratic families are all exquisite. of.

Chu Heng intends to pick a jade belt hook for Xinghui, and also to see if there is any jade material that is good for his eyes. He left Ling Ye at home to paint flowers. He might be so depressed in the palace.

Chu Heng wanted to pick a piece of jade and personally engrave a private seal for Ling Ye, so as to coax him, and save it for his writing and painting in the future.

As the New Year’s Eve is approaching, there are many people giving gifts from all over the world. Jade is the first choice in the imperial capital. It’s not a coincidence that Chu Heng came here. After looking at it all morning, I didn’t pick out a few pleasing ones. I heard from the shopkeeper that there is a batch of new jade from Gyeongju in the afternoon. , I planned to come and have a look in the early afternoon.

He stepped out of the Qiongyu Pavilion on this side, only to notice that the long street outside was cleared, and as soon as the carriages and horses evaded, the street vendors and passers-by were all driven to the corners on both sides by the warriors in strong suits, and the crowds piled on top of each other. One place is very noisy.A few young men in Chinese costumes on horseback were about to rush at the shoving warriors, when there were a few crisp high-fives from a distance, and the rioting crowd gradually fell silent.

Eight warriors in brocade uniforms led the way, followed by a group of dozens of Xuanyi guards maintaining three carved BMWs and slowly drove in. A large number of attendants followed closely behind with umbrella fan flags, and then dozens of Cars and horses carrying boxes and cages, obviously came to Beijing from a long way, although it is not a serious ceremonial ceremony, but the momentum is great.

Such big battles are actually not common in the imperial capital. Today, the emperor acts in a low-key manner, and even if the clansmen, nobles, and civil and military ministers below have the intention to put on a show, they must carefully weigh it before acting. If it is not necessary, no one wants to be under the emperor's nose. Disturb the people in and out.

Chu Heng took a few glances at the silk banner held by his attendants, it was embroidered with golden thread and snakes, it was easily recognizable, it was made by the prince of the county.And the gorgeous emblem with silver silk crane pattern next to it, if he remembered correctly, it should be the family emblem of the Yanhe Shen family.

The chief examiner of Enke elected by the Family Party this time—Wen Xinhou Shen Wende is Yanhe Shen's family.

It's just that I don't know which county king or who is from the Shen family is in the car.

The carriage was approaching, and everyone passed by was silent. When the road was cleared just now, the sons and brothers who were the loudest led the horses to avoid it, not daring to make further mistakes.At this time, anyone with a wink can see that the people in the car are very dignified, and idlers can't afford to bump into them, so they have to stay far away.

But this is not absolute.

Because there are really short-sighted people.
