how a stallion is made

"Boom..."

The dull bells reverberated over the entire Weiyang City, the cold wind was blowing from the north, the ice under the eaves was crystal clear, and occasionally fine snowflakes were frozen on it.

In the flower hall of Prince Baxian's mansion, Tantai Shuhe was sitting alone. He was wearing a ferret shawl, reclining on the beauty couch, reading a book while hiding in the room with his hair untied.

"My lord."

Tantai Shuohe raised his eyelids, knowing that it was Meng Tianxiang who came with the medicine.Since he fell down the steps, he had a fever for about ten days. As soon as the fever was cured, Emperor Ming who knew about it had his feet grounded.

Except for the fact that Emperor Ming sent Shaoyun to pick up Tantai Shuhe to attend a banquet in the palace during the Spring Festival, he really never stepped out of the palace gate!

Meng Tianxiang secretly sighed, the lord is fine with everything, just accepting death.If he was soft-hearted and admitted his mistake at the palace banquet, with the degree of Emperor Ming's doting on Tantai Shuhe, the confinement would be nothing but empty talk.

"Put things on the table."

"My lord, the Empress Dowager has an order to let the servants watch the lord finish drinking with their own eyes." Meng Tianxiang said neither humble nor overbearing, after staying in Weiyangdu for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some changes.

Tantai Shuohe put down the scroll, got up helplessly, took the white porcelain bowl, and drank it dry in one gulp.Because he drank too fast, some liquid passed through his Adam's apple and fell into his chest.

"Okay, let's go down."

"Yes." Meng Tianxiang continued to sigh secretly. The older the prince grows, the more monstrous he becomes. The appearance of Concubine Nalan has been inherited ten times ten. No wonder the ladies in Weiyang Capital are all eagerly watching the movement of the Eight Sages Palace. Woolen cloth.The last time I went out, I was run over by the daughter of the Minister of the Household Department. I was really innocent.

"Wait, Meng Tianxiang, is there a Lantern Festival feast today?"

"My lord is going?"

Tantai Shuhe smiled, and asked back: "Is this a question of whether the king wants to go or not?"

"The empress dowager said to let the servants tie up the prince, but how could the servants be so delicate and frail?"

"What does my father mean?"

Meng Tianxiang is not an ordinary woman, because of Tantai's confinement, she was granted the favor of the emperor, and she can enter and leave Weiyang Palace, so she heard the news from someone.

"Eunuch Xu said, if the prince doesn't come out this time, don't even think about going out."

Tantai Shuohe sighed and muttered: "Is this the king who doesn't want to go out? Really..."

At this time, Lan Ruo just kicked the door in. Tantai Shuhe had already returned to normal, so there was no need for him to worry.

"Damn it! You don't have any clothes on!"

Tantai Shuhe curled his lips: "Brother, this king is wearing a middle coat."

"What's the difference between that and not wearing clothes!"

"I like to walk the birds in my own house, do you have an opinion?" Tantai Shuhe said casually.

Lan Ruo fumbled here and there from her bulging arms, and took out a paper bag, raised her hand and flung it straight to Tantai Shuhe.Tantai Shuhe stretched out his hand unhurriedly, and accurately intercepted the paper bag, but threw it aside without opening it.

"The big white goose with snowflakes in Dongmei Temple is [-]% spicy!"

"Thank you."

Lan Ruo looked at Tantai, closed her eyes, and said, "I don't know if the fourth girl who sells roast goose has taken a fancy to you, you little boy. I'm going to buy a goose that's not so fat, tsk tsk, boy."

Tantai Shuhe laughed: "Oh, little black face."

To be honest, although Tantai Shuhe is supposedly grounding his feet, how can this mundane rule stop him? Shao Yun can't squat in Weiyang City all year round and grow mushrooms, right?Taking advantage of this person's absence, Tantai Shuohe can sneak out for a stroll.

There is really no way for people to take advantage of their looks.

"Meng Tianxiang, ask someone to prepare a horse, this king is going to a court banquet."

Lan Ruo clicked her tongue twice again: "The scourge..."

The snow outside hadn't melted yet, and the wind hurt people's faces, Tantai Shuohe was let out of the house after being watched by the chief manager.Compared with the other palaces, the Baxian Palace is actually not rich, and Tantai Shuhe is a lazy person, so it looks very restrained.

The sword eyebrows are slightly thinner, the starry eyes are bright, and the bay red horse is also very energetic.In fact, the monks of Xianmen should not be afraid of cold and heat, but the original words of the chief manager are as follows:

"Hey, my lord, clothes are not just for keeping one person warm, they are also for one's identity!"

Therefore, Tantai Shuhe stepped on black winter leopard leather boots, with a suet white jade belt on his waist and burning love, wearing a winter royal robe, with a wet sable fur on his shoulders, and his hair was tied up with jade hairpins. The manager was barely satisfied with this.

Tantai Shuhe was originally happy to go out for a stroll, but he became famous because of the free clinic held last year in Jinshui Village outside the city, and later he was known by the adults because of his frequent appearances.

Young talents, rich and handsome, and no backyard girls.This prince is simply something you can meet but not ask for. Whoever snatches it will earn it.

What?You said that the Eighth Wise King is a broken sleeve?Is Duanxiu so heroic?Is the broken sleeve so powerful?

Lan Ruo?These two together?Which prince doesn't have many followers in his family?Could it be that the crown prince, third prince, and sixth prince are all broken sleeves?

It has to be said that people are blind and only want to see what they want to see.

Tantai Shuohe's popularity is still very high among the ladies of the high family, and if he is discovered, he will be buried alive by the sachet.Eunuch Xu secretly reported these things, but Emperor Ming turned a blind eye to this, as children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

The palace was obviously much warmer than the outside, and the snow couldn't hold up. When Tantai Shuhe reached the east steps, he let the palace slave take away the bay red horse. The sharp-eyed ones had already moved over, waiting to talk to Tantai Shuhe .Who didn't know that the Eight Sage Kings were so favored that they didn't even get punished for lifting the coffin of Noble Concubine Nalan.

Grounded?Can that count as punishment?Haven't seen people wandering around like the Eight Sage Kings!

"My lord."

"En." Tantai Shuhe nodded and walked over as if he didn't know anything, he was really impatient to practice Tai Chi with others, especially when he could hide.

"My lord."

"Ah."

……

According to the rules, the crown prince sits at the first place on the right, below him are several old princes, and at the end are Tantai Shuhe and several princes.The third prince was born round, and the sixth prince was born thin, which are like a pair of antonyms.

Tantai Shuhe sat in front of the case with a blank expression, wandering in awe.

"Xiaoba, I heard from Shao Gong that you are very good at playing the piano, so I wonder if you can play a piece for the emperor to listen to?" Emperor Ming asked slightly drunk.

Tantai Shuhe was in a good mood, and replied with a slight smile: "If the father wants to hear it, the son can do it anytime."

Emperor Ming raised his hand to signal Xu Gonggong who was beside him and said, "Go and get that Xiyi."

"Yes." Eunuch Xu replied and turned around.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qin was taken to the banquet, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries looked at this side in unison.Tantai Shuohe took Xi Yi over, flipped his spirit armor over and plucked the strings of the qin, the deep and clear sound echoed in the hall.

On the copper censer was a ferocious animal head, white smoke curled up, and the eight wise kings sat down on the piano seat with a calm face.

The sound is like flowing water, pouring out.

Suddenly a dancer came in from the small door with the sound of the piano, with a soft figure and flowing long sleeves, Tantai Shuhe looked up and knew who had arranged this on purpose, most likely she was sitting on the dragon chair the one.

The lead dancer's ponytail swayed nimbly, unlike ordinary dancers, Tantai could tell at a glance that the agate Huasheng and acacia flowers on her head were produced by Yumantang.Don't ask Tantai Shuhe how he knew about it, Qing Guose's heartless person is always talking about these rouge, gouache and hairpin rings, he knows it even if he is a fool!

After a song, the sleeves were on the ground, the girl was full of smiles, and her bright eyes drifted towards the man playing the piano from time to time.

It's a pity that Luo Hua intends to be ruthless.

Tantai Shuohe closed his hands as if he hadn't noticed anything, stood up, nodded to Emperor Ming and said, "Father, can you still listen to my son's playing?"

"Okay, okay!" Emperor Ming brushed his beard and smiled, "This Xiyi is useless in the palace, why don't I reward you."

Tantai Shuhe secretly sighed and bowed his head in thanks, trouble is coming.

Eunuch Xu suddenly took a step forward and said with a smile: "Hey, Your Majesty, the girl who leads the dance is also very good at dancing, you can't favor one person over another."

"Yes yes yes," Ming Emperor Longyan Xiaoyue looked down at the girl who was still on the ground and said, "Miss, where are you from?"

That girl was obviously someone who had seen the world, kowtowed her head and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, the youngest daughter is Dong Fenghua, the daughter of Dong Shangshu's family."

"Okay, okay, Dong Shangshu, you have raised a good daughter haha." Tantai Shuhe didn't know whether Emperor Ming was really drunk or fake drunk, but he knew that he might be in trouble this time.

"Where is it, the Eight Sage Kings play the piano better." Dong Shangshu hurriedly got up and responded.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the second rank, controls the promotion and demote of officials in the court, which is a very fat job.

"I don't know if Dong Shangshu's daughter is married?"

"No...Your Majesty, this—" Dong Shangshu quickly raised his eyes to look at Tantai Shuhe who had already sat back and pretended to be nonchalant, knowing what was going on in his heart.

"Xiao Ba, this girl looks pretty good. You—" Before Emperor Ming could finish speaking, Tantai Shuhe knelt down quickly, unable to kneel for a long time.

Emperor Ming frowned, and scolded: "Little Ba! What do you mean!"

Tantai Shuhe raised his head and replied: "Father, my son and minister are dull in nature and can't do two things with one mind."

"Eight Sage Kings..." Dong Fenghua called out in a low voice.

Tantai Shuhe took a deep breath, said sorry from the bottom of his heart, and continued: "The Miao border is undecided, the southern barbarians are not peaceful, there are glimpses in the East, the Huns have different ambitions, and the refugees outside the pass, how dare this king start a family!"

The surroundings were as silent as death, the words that no one dared to say, this time Tantai Shuohe said it all at once, and it was not known whether the eight virtuous kings wanted to express themselves or to be arrogant.

Dong Fenghua burst into tears, she felt that the Baxian King just didn't like her, so she lost face in the public.

"...You...retire..." Emperor Ming seemed to have aged many years all of a sudden, and sat on the chair dejectedly.

You Cheng suddenly opened his mouth and said: "The Eight Sage Kings said so, could it be that they have some countermeasures for these problems?"

Tantai Shuhe gritted his teeth and said: "I dare not say that I have a plan, but—"

Tantai Shuhe bows again.

"Father, my son, please order me to go to the south of the Yangtze River to control the flood!"

Emperor Ming was silent for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice without distinguishing between emotions and anger: "You are telling me what you can do?"

"Water conservancy rejuvenates the country, changes the pulse against the sky." Tantai Shuhe's calm words could not be diminished for a long time in the hall.

"Okay, you go."

"Thank you, Father."

……

A good court banquet ended in such a slightly depressing atmosphere. Tantai Shuohe led the horse from the steps and was about to go up, but he didn't want to be stopped by someone.

Tantai Shuhe turned his head and saw that it was Pei Chao.

"My lord is too much today." Pei Chao lowered his eyes and saluted, "Even if you really want to go to Jiangnan, you don't have to say it today."

Tantai Shuhe smiled: "This king didn't come out for the sake of going to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Could it be... that the prince has his own heart?" Pei Chao was worthy of being a Tanhua, and he guessed the truth in an instant.

"Guess." Tantai Shuhe didn't answer with a smile.

Pei Chao's heart became angry: "Could it be that the prince is going to the south of the Yangtze River to fish and eat people!"

"Fish people?"

"Huaiyang skinny horse, Lin'an Wangchen... Could this be the prince's purpose?"

Tantai Shuhe laughed three times, Huaiyang skinny horse, what a Huaiyang skinny horse!

Pei Chao knelt down suddenly, Tantai Shuohe was stunned: "What's the meaning of the minister?"

"My lord, I know I'm mean, but if my lord really has a way to save the people in the south of the Yangtze River, I implore my lord to do my best." Pei Chao was about to bow down as he said that.

Tantai Shuhe looked at this man who was completely out of tune with the court with a complicated expression, and stopped him with a tactic in his hand.

"Pei Shilang, I heard that you are a good cook. If I can do this, you will be spared the big gift. Why don't you cook for me for three months."

Pei Chao stood up: "Is this true?"

"It's not empty." Tantai Shuohe rode away on his horse, the sable fur was extremely flamboyant.
