Rebirth of the Son of Heart

In the 20th year of Emperor Zhao, Liu Bi collapsed, succeeded Liu He, and changed his reign name to Ming.In the summer of the first year of Emperor Ming, 19-year-old Liu He went out of the palace in a micro-clothes and headed for Cuiping Tower.I heard that there was once a dancer in Cuiping Tower, with a fresh and refined appearance, which fascinated everyone who saw it. She was even famous for her dancing skills, she grew lotuses every step of the way, and could do palm dance.At that time, the former emperor Liu Bi had the honor to meet this dancer girl, and he fell in love with her. He personally wrote a plaque and gift for her and hung it on the main hall. Have a tryst with him.Until October of the 20th year of Emperor Zhao, Liu Bi passed away in the Chengming Palace, and the relationship between the two must be broken.Since then, Cuiping Tower will hold lantern festivals every year, guess lantern riddles, and recite poems; according to legend, this is the dance girl Xixiang Liu Bi.

After the current emperor succeeded to the throne, he came to the Cuiping Tower with curiosity in his heart, but unfortunately, Liu He failed to witness the true appearance of this dancing girl with his own eyes.With the passage of time, this legend, which was originally a legend, has gradually become a poignant story. Every autumn, many young men and women will come to watch the lanterns and see the beauty of the story.

In recent days, Prince Liu Xian has been forgiven by the emperor and regained his freedom.As for why the people in Liuxian Palace set fire to Xuanyi Pavilion, the only one who knew the inside story was probably the emperor.Even if the emperor made a clear statement, the officials who advised him were restrained. In order to give an explanation to the ministers, the emperor secretly ordered Xu Gonggong to make a false confession, saying that the two young eunuchs were Cao's accomplices, and they have now confessed. It was ordered by the Cao family to frame the prince of the country.

This principle makes sense, as for those who want to see the prince's jokes, I'm afraid they will be disappointed.

Today, during the Cuiping Tower Lantern Festival, the Kyoto bazaar was crowded with people, and there were even aristocratic princes and daughters from Kyoto families, driving their cars and rushing towards the Cuiping Tower.Wei Jingyuan followed Liu Yue towards the Cuiping Tower, and on the way he saw a black-gold-covered carriage passing by, Wei Jingyuan took a few glances, "Dare to ask the third highness, is the crown prince also here?"

"Hmm." Liu Yue glanced at Wei Jingyuan indifferently, then walked towards Cuiping Tower through the path driven by his entourage.

Although Wei Jingyuan knew that Liu Yue's temperament was a bit cold, he could always laugh a little bit when he was alone. He had never looked so cold before. Could it be that he did something to annoy him?Wei Jingyuan pondered secretly.

When we arrived at Cuiping Tower, the sky was getting dark, and the raised lanterns were hung on both sides of Cuiping Tower. When Wei Jingyuan walked in to have a look, such ingenious lanterns should be made by his daughter's family.Wei Jingyuan inadvertently turned the lotus lantern in his hand, and there was a lantern riddle on it. Wei Jingyuan was about to find out, when a familiar voice came from behind.

"Unexpectedly, Brother Jing Yuan is here too." Wen Mingzhuang waved his fan and stepped forward, followed by his younger sister, Wen Caixiu.

Wei Jingyuan let go of the lotus lantern in his hand, bowed his hands and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Brother Ming Zhuang is getting more and more dignified!"

Wen Mingzhuang laughed, "Brother Jing Yuan, since you have worshiped Mr. Li as your teacher, your body is not as thin as before." After finishing speaking, Wen Caixiu came from behind Wen Mingzhuang, nodded and said : "Caixiu has met Mr. Wei."

"Miss Wen is polite."

Wen Caixiu lowered her eyes and said guiltily: "Young Master Wei, Caixiu was reckless in what happened that day and disturbed Young Master Wei's apprenticeship ceremony. Please forgive him, Young Master Wei."

Wei Jingyuan hurriedly said: "Miss Wen doesn't have to be like this. The incident happened suddenly that day. As long as Miss Wen and Miss Li are fine, it is a blessing." Come to the door early to apologize, so who is it for?

Wen Mingzhuang smiled slightly and said: "Brother Jing Yuan is magnanimous. Ming Zhuang is here to apologize for his younger sister. Please don't take it to heart." He smiled and said, "Brother Ming Zhuang doesn't need to do this, Jing Yuan certainly didn't take it to heart."

Wen Mingzhuang pretended to stop his movements, and joked: "Today's Cuiping Tower Lantern Festival, but there are many people of high status, brother Jing Yuan must have known about it?"

Wei Jingyuan nodded: "I have seen the third son, and I heard that the eldest son is also here, did brother Mingzhuang see it?"

Wen Mingzhuang waved his fan, and said with a pleasant expression: "The eldest son and a distinguished guest have already entered the Cuiping Tower. My sister and I don't want to disturb you, so we came out to walk around."

"An honored guest? I don't know what honored guest Brother Mingzhuang is talking about?"

Wen Mingzhuang stepped forward, covered half of his face with a paper fan, and murmured: "The third prince of Xiangguo, Zhao Jue."

For many days, he was locked up in the central government, and he didn't hear anything outside the window.Wei Jingyuan didn't know that Zhao Jue, the third prince of Xiangguo, had entered the capital. If what Wen Mingzhuang said was true, would his little aunt whom he hadn't seen for many years also come back?

Wen Mingzhuang thought about it a lot, and said with a smile: "Brother Jing Yuan missed your little aunt who married into Xiangguo?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled, and said without pushing or hiding: "Brother Ming Zhuang saw through my thoughts at a glance, yes, I really miss my aunt who married far away in Xiangguo."

"It is said that Concubine Chen has been sent to Zhuoxuan Pavilion to settle down, and she can go to Duke Yong's Mansion tomorrow."

"Really?" Wei Jingyuan's eyes shone with anticipation.

"Every sentence is true." Wen Mingzhuang smiled and waved his fan.

Wei Jingyuan already had a good impression of his aunt. He vaguely remembered that her aunt had a bold and unrestrained temperament, and she also disguised herself as a man to join the army and fought with her grandfather on the battlefield. She didn't know that she followed Zhao Jue to the Northern Dynasty. What is the matter.Is it possible that it has something to do with Cao's assistance to the country?

"Brother, Mr. Wei, the lantern festival is about to start, let's go in." Wen Caixiu urged.

Wei Jingyuan hurriedly stretched his hands sideways: "Brother Mingzhuang please."

The same was true of Wenmingzhuang, and after a few words of courtesy, the two entered Cuiping Tower together.

The Cuiping Building has three floors, and most of them are made of golden silk nanmu. It is said that this precious nanmu was gifted to Cuiping Building by Liu Cheng.Entering the Cuiping Tower, hanging above the high hall is the red gold plaque carried by Liu Cheng himself. Looking at the two sides along the way, there are two lines of poems... On the left is "delicacy should be difficult", while on the right is " It must be seen from the palm', judging from these two sentences, the dancer in the rumor must be a three-inch golden lotus with bound feet, otherwise she would not be crowned with such a poem.

"You two gentlemen, our young master has been waiting upstairs for a long time." Wen Mingzhuang, the attendant next to the crown prince, recognized him, and went up to the third floor with Wei Jingyuan without saying a word. In the front seat, on both sides of the Liu Yue and Liu Qian sub-bureaus, with his back to the door, was a tall figure, who was obviously much older than everyone else in age.

When the crown prince saw Wei Jingyuan, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Why did Jingyuan come so late, come here quickly, I will introduce someone for you, you still know him."

Wei Jingyuan quickened his pace and walked over, bypassing the tall figure, "I don't know who the prince recommended?" Wei Jingyuan looked at the burly man from the corner of his eye.

"Did Yuan'er forget about me?" Zhao Jue's voice rang out, accompanied by unrestrained laughter.

Wei Jingyuan pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly said: "Jing Yuan has seen Prince Chen."

The burly man with handsome sword eyebrows in front of him is Zhao Jue, the third prince of Xiangguo, who is also Wei Jingyuan's uncle.Wei Jingyuan remembered that he and Zhao Jue had met closely many years ago. At that time, Zhao Jue was young and had a fun-loving temperament. Fuzhong ran wantonly.Once, when Wei Jingyuan fell asleep, Zhao Jue caught two meat worms and put them in Wei Jingyuan's underwear. When he woke up, Wei Jingyuan cried out in fright, and couldn't fall asleep for several nights. ah.

Looking back on the past, Wei Jingyuan's impression of Zhao Jue has been blurred, but he doesn't know that he is no longer the mischievous Third Prince.

"Yuan'er saw me, why didn't you call uncle, maybe you still remember what happened back then?" Zhao Jue deepened the smile on his brows, and wanted to see how Wei Jingyuan would respond.

Wei Jingyuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Yuan'er has seen uncle."

"That's right, come here, sit next to Uncle, let Uncle take a good look at you."

After Wei Jingyuan was seated, Zhao Jue looked Wei Jingyuan up and down carefully: "Yuan Er, I haven't seen you for many years, your aunt misses you all the time."

"How is my aunt, Yuan'er misses her very much."

"Very good, very good." Zhao Jue laughed, "Being my princess, why not?"

Wei Jingyuan bowed his head: "What uncle said is true."

Zhao Jue said with a smile, "Your aunt has already moved into Zhuoxuan Pavilion, and she will return home tomorrow. I entered the capital early this time because I wanted to see what is so wonderful about the Cuiping Tower Lantern Festival."

The prince laughed at this moment, "With good wine, excellent dancing, watching lanterns and guessing riddles, they are definitely the three wonders of Cuiping Tower."

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's a bit normal."

"Hey, Prince Chen has never experienced it, so how can he easily assert it, and let's take a closer look at it later." Liu Xian squinted and smiled.

Zhao Jue had no intention of thinking about these things, but looked at the person who seemed to be out of the way, and said with a smile: "I heard that Yuan'er and the Third Highness both worshiped Mr. Li Zhuoyanli as their teacher. His Highness the Third Highness is lenient and forgives Yuan Er."

Wei Jingyuan didn't expect Zhao Jue to say this to Liu Yue suddenly, so he hurriedly looked at Liu Yue.However, Liu Yue seemed to have a cold face, curling the corners of his lips and said: "Prince Chen, you can rest assured, Jing Yuan has a delicate mind, and the rules in the palace are very familiar, so how can you make a mistake?"

Zhao Jue had heard for a long time that among Liu He's sons, the Third Highness in front of him was the most unfavorable, and he had no natal influence to lean on. Looking at his cold and unapproachable attitude, he was really far behind him. inside.Back then, he was in such a situation.

Seeing Liu Yue's expression turning cold, the crown prince couldn't help frowning, and then said with a smile: "My younger brother, I usually talk very little, so please don't worry about it, Prince Chen."

Zhao Jue smiled and said, "It's too serious."

At this time, the lantern show has already started, and when the screen is lifted, you can see the dancers downstairs, lighting up the lights and entering the arena, dancing gracefully.However, Wei Jingyuan didn't intend to take a look at it, but stared at Liu Yue for a long time. For some reason, he vaguely realized that Liu Yue's indifference today was only for himself.

"Young master." Liu Xian walked in with his bodyguards, bowed his hands and said, "Young master, the servants of Duke Yong's mansion are asking to see Mr. Wei outside the door."

Liu Xian glanced at Wei Jingyuan, smiled and said, "Jing Yuan can do as he pleases."

Wei Jingyuan nodded and said, "Thank you, Prince." Wei Jingyuan hurriedly withdrew from the table, and after going downstairs, he saw Liang Zhen among the crowd.

Liang Zhen said cautiously: "Master, I found Mrs. Cao."

The author has something to say: I can almost be called Zhu Bajie’s younger brother, and I overslept too much today, and two alarm clocks can’t wake me up... It seems that I will definitely sleep to death in the future.

Yoshi, see you tomorrow...
