Be a man today too!

So Chi Yuan took a sip of tea slowly, and said in the expectant eyes of the other party: "I am very good at the five princes, but the fourth prince and fifth prince are still a little young, so I don't like judging... "

Chi Yuan paused for a while when he said this, and then looked at the expression of the person opposite. Sure enough, he seemed very calm now, with deep brows and eyes, but the look of almost holding his breath could not deceive anyone.

Chi Yuan then continued: "Among the three princes in front, the prince is both civil and military, the second prince is a gentleman, and the third prince is smart. They are all top talents in the world, but among these three, I like the most……"

The smile in Chi Yuan's eyes continued to deepen, and he looked at the person in front of him and said slowly, "Third Prince."

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, the other party's eyes seemed to light up a cluster of small flames, and became a little brighter.

At this time, after Ji Lingfeng heard this answer, the wine he drank just now became extremely spicy in his mouth, and there was a very sour feeling.

He never thought that the young man would like someone like the third brother, Ji Lingfeng quickly recalled the third brother's usual appearance.Because the two grew up, in Ji Lingfeng's impression, the third brother is a kid who likes to follow behind him to ask for sweets. No matter what you think, it's better to be yourself!

Ji Lingfeng drank down the wine glass in his hand, slightly suppressing the rising sourness in his heart, and then he continued to ask: "I don't know why Xiongtai likes the third prince the most?"

Hearing this question, Chi Yuan couldn't help feeling a little funny in his heart. He even felt that the third prince was indeed very interesting. It wasn't enough to praise him, he had to be praised a few more times.But this kind of character is not annoying, but rather cute.

So Chi Yuan weighed the teacup in his hand, looked at the person in front of him and said calmly, "Because I heard that the third prince is handsome,"

Of course, this sentence is what Chi Yuan felt when he first saw the third prince. Although Chi Yuan has been in this world for a few days, he still doesn't appreciate the images of men with curly hair, and because the lower class civilians The reason why he can hardly take care of his hair is that many of them don't look very comfortable, but after seeing the third prince, he knows the image of the handsome man depicted in the ancient scrolls. Hsu is not an exaggeration.

Chi Yuan continued without pausing: "The jade tree faces the wind,"

I originally grew up in the north, practiced martial arts since childhood, and my stature is quite tall, but I am still a little shorter than the third prince. The most important thing is that his posture is probably the reason why he has been trained in the court since he was a child. , quite imposing, and every move has a unique charm.

When it comes to "excellent literary talent," Chi Yuan can't help but smile knowingly.

Because he chatted with the third prince about a lot of things these two times, he also saw that the other party learned from others and had his own views on a lot of knowledge, and because he often went out of the palace, he also knew the sufferings of the people very well, not the ancient one. Why not a royal noble who eats minced meat.

"There is still a bit of a child's heart."

The last sentence is Chi Yuan's feeling for the third prince just now. Although the other party is the current prince and extremely noble, it is very rare that he can have a childlike innocence and kindness.

After finishing speaking, Chi Yuan's eyes turned slightly to observe the expression of the other party. Sure enough, the third prince not only blushed, but even breathed a lot more quickly after hearing it. After all, he was still a little uncomfortable after being praised in person, but He should also be very happy in his heart.

At this time, Ji Lingfeng was extremely depressed, he never thought that the third younger brother would have so many advantages in the eyes of the young man!

But these words can really be applied to the third brother!Thinking of this, Ji Lingfeng felt an unspeakable depression in his heart, and rushed straight to his face with the fine wine he just drank.

Ji Lingfeng poured another glass of wine angrily, and now he doesn't want to say a word.

Moreover, these advantages of the young man to the third brother are like a treasure, and when the time comes

Hou really met the third brother, what should I do?

Thinking of this, Ji Lingfeng became a little anxious. He must not let him see his third brother before marrying him!After all, before everything is settled, there are certain variables.

What's more, from the previous relationship with the young man, it can be seen that he still has the customs of the northern wild land. He is very unrestrained and has a very bold style for those who want to pursue him. What if he empathizes with others?

Ji Lingfeng took a deep breath, absolutely must not let such a thing happen!

Seeing that the third prince took another sip of wine cleanly, looking carefree and dripping, Chi Yuan was certain that the question just now added a lot of points for himself.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chi Yuan also suggested to the other party that it was time to return home. After all, the ancient times were not as good as the modern ones, and there were still curfew rules.Ji Lingfeng also nodded silently, and he didn't want to drink away his worries anymore.

After the two bid farewell to each other, Chi Yuan also returned to the room. After washing up, the time actually looked like nine o'clock. It's just that the ancient times were afraid of fire, so they only lit lanterns on the main road. Once it was night Many places are dark, so it seems particularly late.

People here generally get up at the same time as the sun rises in the morning, which is around 5 or 6 o'clock in the capital, and a little earlier in the north.

Now Chi Yuan is also slowly getting used to the work and rest time here. Every day, he also gets up around 5 or 6 o'clock to wash, have a meal, and then practice some basic martial arts with Qiu Wen, and start reading and calligraphy in the afternoon.

As for the night after dinner, if there is nothing to do, I will rest at 8 or 9 o'clock.

But to Chi Yuan's surprise, since he and the third prince went out to play at night that day, the other party has not appeared for several days.

This made Chi Yuan a little puzzled, he remembered that the two of them got along very happily that day, probably because they were busy with business, and they were the princes of a country, how could they go out of the palace all the time?

After he figured this out, Chi Yuan wasn't worried anymore. After all, his relationship with the third prince is already considered a good friend. Besides, a month is still a long time, so he doesn't need to be in a hurry. He can just use this time Adapt to many things.

Chi Yuan found that he was still too ignorant of many things in ancient times. In terms of knowledge alone, although he still read a lot of ancient documents, many of them only knew the superficial meaning. Besides, he is the King of Xiangbei now after all. His eldest son, and this real eldest brother is still a very talented person. If he enters the palace and is tested by others, once he reveals his secrets, he will never come back.

So Chi Yuan decided to invite a teacher to teach him after careful consideration.

There are not a few scholars with a reputation in the capital. After many investigations, Chi Yuan finally selected one as his teacher.

Gu Beiqing was very surprised when he heard that the eldest son of King Xiangbei was going to invite him to be a teacher in his mansion, because he had just been dismissed from office not long ago, and even his clan brothers were unwilling to take him in.

Gu Beiqing, who had served three consecutive years as magistrate, was about to be promoted to prefect. Then, just as he was about to take up his post, a public case came out in the area under his jurisdiction. Bumping case.

Qi Guogong is the father of the most beloved concubine of the emperor today, and he is a relative of the emperor, and his son can also be called the emperor's brother-in-law.In fact, this Wang Heng is not very old, but he is only around the weak crown, but because Qi Guogong is old and has a son, and he is the only one, so he is extremely arrogant. It is said that before Wang Guifei entered the palace, she also loved this young brother as a son. .

So Wang Heng became more and more lawless, and it was fine to be domineering on weekdays, but this time there was an accident.

That is three months ago, Wang Heng wantonly galloped his horse in the busy market, and finally trampled two civilians to death.

This kind of case is very serious. Once it came out, it immediately became an uproar among the people.

Although Gu Beiqing knew the identity of the other party, he still arrested Wang Heng, collected evidence, and prepared to execute him directly according to the law.

But at this moment, the emperor sent people from Dali Temple to conduct a retrial of the case, and finally released Wang Heng because of insufficient evidence, but executed several of his subordinates and the groom.

Everyone was satisfied with the result, and even the public anger subsided.

Only Gu Beiqing was dissatisfied.

Of course, Gu Beiqing is very clear about the reasons for this, but what he knows even more is that this time he is not only hopeless for promotion, but also has no chance of securing his official position.

Sure enough, as he expected, following Wang Heng's verdict, his official position was dismissed by the emperor for the reason of "lax investigation of the case", and Qi Guogong brought people to the door to make a fuss.

Gu Beiqing was originally a clean and honest official, so he could be said to be a breeze in his sleeves, and then returned to the capital from where he worked and spent a lot of savings, and now he is even more helpless.

But Gu Beiqing didn't do anything. He didn't seek justice when he was dismissed from office, and he didn't continue to find ways to find his former colleagues to discuss the matter of reinstatement. Instead, he started to do his old job and sell calligraphy for a living.

Because Gu Beiqing knew the emperor's intention very well.

This time, it was because I did something wrong that I ended up like this, but this "mistake" is not a real mistake. For the emperor, it is wrong now, but who can say for sure in the future?

As long as my previous political achievements have not been overthrown by others, and the emperor has recognized it and put it in the official department, it means that there is still a day when I can be used, but not now.

Gu Beiqing waited 28 years to become an official, so it's possible that he couldn't wait for these few years.

It's just that he has seen some things more clearly. The officialdom is extremely difficult and dangerous, and if he is not careful, he will fall into the abyss. He was indeed too straightforward before. The teacher once said that he was too hard to break, and he was right.

However, Gu Beiqing received the invitation from the prince of Xiangbei at this most difficult time, and he couldn't help being surprised and laughing a little.

Oh, speaking of it, he is not the most pitiful person in the capital, who suddenly plummets and is instantly disparate.

There is another person who is worse than him. He used to be the proud son of heaven, but now he is like a prisoner, walking on the edge of a cliff with every step, like walking on thin ice.
