The day in July was scorching and hot, and the green trees and green grass that used to be vigorous were drooping listlessly. Cicada hung upside down on the tree and screamed, as if shouting for the sun that was relentlessly emitting heat waves, which made people feel unreasonably bored.

However, Rong Qi's dog days were not very difficult, because Rong An invented the method of making ice a few years ago, and dedicated this method to Emperor Xuan. After copying it down, he gave it to some of his favorite children, and Rong Qi was one of them.

Put a few pots of freshly made ice in the house, and the whole house will be cool and comfortable all day long.

After Li's departure, Mr. Li San seldom came to the Hou's Mansion again, but after King Qingyang's family entered Beijing, Li San went to the Hou's Mansion frequently, and he was accompanied by Prince Qingyang's son Han Fei.

Han Fei is a very familiar person. After being rescued by Rong Qi during the palace banquet, he often visited Ronghou's mansion. At the beginning, he would hand over two posts to wait for the owner's permission, and then he would come to the door directly. , Waiting for the servant to report.Prince Qingyang's son is a distinguished guest recognized by the emperor, he came to Ronghou's mansion as a guest, so naturally Rong Qi couldn't avoid it from time to time.

Han Fei is not only very familiar with himself, but also a very informal person. He found a seat and sat down on his own when he entered the door, and sighed: "It's still comfortable to stay in the Hou Ye's mansion. This room is cool and cool. , It is comfortable to sit or sleep.”

Rong Qi glanced at him and said, "Didn't I give you the method of making ice a while ago, are you too lazy to do it?"

Han Fei crossed his legs and looked lazy. He casually picked up the book that was put on the table by someone, read a few lines, then put it down in distaste, and said, "It's better for Master Hou to understand. To be honest, as long as Once I think that the method of making ice was thought up by His Highness the Third Highness, I don't want to use it anymore."

Rong Qi said lightly: "The method of making ice in the Marquis's Mansion was also thought up by His Highness the Third Highness."

Han Fei spread his hands: "At least I didn't use it directly."

Rong Qi also knew a thing or two about the reason why Han Fei was dissatisfied with Rong An, and it was related to Princess Biezhen.Rong An is a man with a lot of love for women. After spending just a few days with Princess Biezhen, Princess Biezhen was attracted to him, and fell in love with Rong An uncontrollably. King Yang asked the emperor to marry Rong An for her.One must know that Rong An's main concubine and side concubine already have people, so the Princess Biezhen can only be a concubine when she enters the Third Prince's residence.

After all, King Qingyang is a hereditary vassal king, and his status is no less noble than that of the king of a different surname in Kyoto. Although he brought the Lord Biezhen to Beijing this time for some unexplainable purpose, and because he saw that the situation was not clear, he brought Biezhen County to Beijing. The Lord married a concubine who was on the cusp of the storm, and he had never considered it.

Although King Qingyang has not returned to the capital for a long time, the intuition of the superior tells him that Rong An is not the heir candidate in the emperor's mind, so no matter how much trouble Rong An can make now, he may end up making wedding clothes for others. That Rong An is proud and doesn't know it.

When he was in the Northwest, although King Qingyang knew that the situation in the capital was suddenly rising, it was only when he entered the capital that he realized that these muddy waters were not something that vassal kings like them who were not in the capital could wade through.

King Qingyang regretted it before reporting on his duties, because if they don't really care about the princess, they don't want to leave cleanly.

"Master Hou, Mr. Xiao, and Mr. Li, come and judge me. What's wrong with the third highness? He has both concubines and concubines. Is it possible that she still wants to be his concubine? Qingyang Palace can't afford to lose this person." Han Fei felt extremely resentful when he thought of Princess Biezhen who was still on hunger strike to protest.

The third son Li smiled with his folding fan: "Chun Xin don't share flowers and hair, every inch of lovesickness and every inch of gray, I say brother Han, for the sake of the third prince's infatuation, you'd better not get angry anymore, just let them be fulfilled." !"

Han Fei sneered and said: "I heard that the Third Highness said so when he asked to marry the Third Imperial Concubine. I only hope that the king's heart is like mine, and he will never disappoint love. There are groups of wives and concubines, surrounded by seven circles, but he is Dare to say."

Before San Gongzi Li could say anything else, Han Fei said again: "That's not all, I also heard that His Highness also wrote poems when he asked to marry Concubine Dong. North and south, east and west, north and south, east and west, only go hand in hand without separation'. When asking to marry the concubine, it is "Linglong dice and red beans, and you will know if you are in love." When asking to marry the third wife, it is "Yiqing's heart is like the water of the West River , Day and night flow eastward without a break'. When asking to marry the fourth lady, she said, "The ruler is as attentive as the sun and the moon, and the husband swears to live and die together." The fifth lady who asked to marry said, "Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches will come out in spring." , May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick'. As for the sixth lady, she used "lovesickness is hard to express, and the dream soul has no evidence, only the return is". The seventh lady used "the mountain has no edges, and the river is exhausted. Dong Lei Zhen Earthquake, Xia Yuxue. Only when heaven and earth unite can we dare to break with you."

Han Fei stopped for a while, and looked up at Rong Qi and the others, and saw them staring at him with twitching corners of their mouths, he looked away uncomfortably, and said, "I didn't inquire about this on purpose, Shusi There are quite a few books about the love affairs of this highness, and you can know it after flipping through it. Originally, a man is passionate, which is beyond reproach, but this highness is surrounded by beauties, but what is he doing? People's poems are simply insulting to the demeanor of scholars."

As Han Fei said, his brows gradually frowned: "Besides, don't you all find it weird? The Third Highness was born in the palace and grew up in the capital. Although he has made many friends, the style of writing poems and lyrics is too unpredictable. I Although I have not read many collections of classics and history, I also know that the style of literati will not change easily. For example, my teacher has been composing poems and lyrics for more than [-] years, and he has traveled all over the country. But in the poems used by His Highness the Third Highness, there is no sign of him at all."

Third Young Master Li's movement of flapping the fan slowed down, he straightened his face and said, "Your Majesty thinks..."

Han Fei didn't answer, but stared at Rong Qi with burning eyes. Seeing this, Rong Qi smiled: "The wind and rain are dark, clouds rise, gold nuggets and pebbles, it's almost fake."

Han Fei is not the first person to have doubts about Rong An's talent, and naturally he won't be the last.

Third Master Li said: "Mr. Xiao once stayed by His Highness Third Highness's side for two years, do you know how true or false it is?"

Xiao Jingning was born extremely handsome, and when he was silent, his brows were somewhat cold. He raised his eyes when he heard that, looked at Mr. Li for a while, and said, "I don't know."

Third Young Master Li looked away in disappointment, and the folding fan in his hand started beating again, but with a little less energy.

Han Fei said: "Li San, don't be depressed, you should believe in justice."

Third Young Master Li actually hated Rong An, if it wasn't for Rong An, how could his elder sister have betrayed his brother-in-law, and how could he have left behind two young children and left at a young age.These days, Li San has been trying to track down Rong An's criminal evidence, but that person is too lucky, whenever there is a leader, there will always be a few bad things.

If those poems of His Highness the Third Highness were not written by him himself, then he would have given up his name of deceiving the world and stealing his name. At that time, let alone the possibility of succession to the throne, even the capital might not have a place for him.

Civil servants and military generals in the court are mixed, and the civil servants are self-proclaimed noble, and they must disdain to join forces with those who deceive the world and steal their names.Although generals are upright and casual, most of them are also principled, and they will not support a thief.

The problem is, there is no evidence!

Li San was so worried that his brows were almost knotted, Han Fei saw that he was funny, and said: "In a few days, my father and I will go back to the northwest. If Brother Li is willing, you can go with us. I will look at San Many of His Highness's poems are about frontier wars, and maybe poets can be found from the frontiers."

Li Sangongzi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately agreed to Prince Qingyang's suggestion.

It has been many years since Rong An became famous in the capital. Although some people had doubts during the period, he was still not exposed in the end.If he had been waiting in the capital for the original poet to come to Beijing, he might not be able to wait until his hair turned gray and his teeth fell out.It's different to search around, maybe you will run into him when you leave the capital.

Li San was sure that Rong An's poems were not written by him alone!As for how many people there are, we have to find out slowly.

Rong Qi listened to what Young Master Li and King Qingyang had said, and the corners of Rong Qi's lips curled into an almost undetectable arc, which no one else saw except Xiao Jingning.

Xiao Jingning sighed slightly. After following this person for more than two years, he finally understood what is the real strategy and decisive victory. He had really helped Rong An, but Rong An was conceited and conceited, and Rong An made many plans on his own. destroy.Otherwise, Rong An's current situation would not be the same as it is now. On the surface, the scenery is bright, but behind the scenes, it is difficult.However, Xiao Jingning thought about it carefully, if the person in front of him was planning for Rong An, Rong An would have already ascended to the crown prince.

Back then, the man in front of him was abolished as the crown prince, his royal status was removed, the empress and the emperor were divorced, and the courtiers who followed him turned against each other. However, the queen seems to be the real lord of the harem who doesn't care about things, she tolerates rebellion, and her power is eliminated.Although Rong Lie and Rong An are now balancing, the available forces under their hands are being disintegrated step by step and are collapsing bit by bit.In addition, from local officials to important ministers in the court, from humble scholars to high-ranking officials, they are all being gradually eliminated, and the clouds in the court are gradually disappearing, showing a clear state.Emperor Xuan became the biggest winner on the surface, but he might not even know how much power in Emperor Xuan's hands really belongs to him.

In the final analysis, he is still not as good as the person in front of him.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingning's heart was both happy and sad, all the ups and downs were gathered for a moment.

Xiao Jingning's thoughts gradually drifted away. He was thinking, if he was still working as a counselor by Rong An's side, how long would he be able to persist in the face of this person's every step of calculation?
