who and tenderness

The people below started whispering again.

"Look, that's the Second Highness."

"I didn't expect that His Royal Highness is not only brilliant in writing, but also in looks!"

"Have you read the treatise on governing the world that hangs on the wall of the academy? It was written by His Highness the Second Highness."

"In my opinion, if His Highness the Second Highness becomes the emperor in the future, we will surely be able to reappear the scene of the prosperous age."

The Second Highness came to Taihe Academy once in a while, but he could gain a lot of fans.

There were two people walking side by side on Luming Mountain, and the breeze blew by, bringing a little bit of coolness.

"Why do you come here?" Zhou Cun looked happily at the visitor.

Li Han turned his head to look into the other person's eyes, and then said affectionately, "It's like March if we don't see each other for a day."

"Blue sky and white sun, how can you be so frivolous." Zhou Cun was a little embarrassed.

"Naturally it's unbearable."

Suddenly, Li Han found that Zhou Cun had taken another path, and asked suspiciously, "Teacher, didn't you go back home?"

"Yunqi Mountain is nearby, stop by to see brother Yan."

Zhang Mo, calligraphy and inkstone, son of Zhang painter, good at poetry and painting, number one in calligraphy and painting, good at ink and bamboo, skilled in landscape, he is elegant and decisive, white clothes and black hair, praised by the world.

Yunqi Mountain, located in the east of the imperial city, is flat and low, with many shrubs and clear springs.

Looking at the pine trees all over the mountain, Zhou Cun suddenly remembered a poem, "There are bridge pines in the mountains, and there are wandering dragons in Xi. If you don't see Zichong, you will see cunning boy."

Li Han's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Does the teacher mean that I'm good-looking?"

"It's either good-looking or cunning." Zhou Cun said deliberately.

After a while, a bamboo house appeared in front of the two of them. The bamboo house looked like the owner, elegant and refined, with a strong character.

"Brother Zhou, Second Highness, why are you here?" Zhang Mo saw the two from the window, and hurried out to greet them.

"I came here uninvited, and I hope you will forgive me."

The two entered the house after some politeness.

Li Han looked at the used teacup on the table, and asked casually, "Brother Yanzhi, did you have any guests just now?"

"Well, a benefactor." Zhang Mo replied.

benefactor?

Then the two followed Zhang Mo into the studio, and suddenly Zhou Cun saw a painting on the table, "Well, brother Yan, which beauty do you draw?" On the paper was a woman in red, smiling coquettishly. , looks like a picture.

Li Han heard the words and stepped forward to take a look, "Isn't this Miss Sun Wan?"

This piece of ink is magnanimous, "My fair lady, a gentleman is so sweet."

In the mountains, there are long white clouds and a cool breeze, and there are two people walking side by side.

"How could senior brother save Zhang Mo's father?" Ji Wushang asked curiously.

"Want to know?" Ji Wuhua held the black bamboo map with a smile on his face.

"I know but I don't know."

"It turned out to be like this. Zhang Mo's father was the imperial painter in the palace at the time, and he was ordered by the emperor to paint a portrait for the queen a few months ago. Unexpectedly, the portrait was stolen for no reason on the night it was painted. If the portrait of the queen is lost, it will be degraded at least." If you leave the palace, you will be punished with death."

"So it's the senior brother who recovered the portrait."

"After I went down the mountain that day, I was in the outskirts of the imperial city. I saw a man who was hiding and asking around for a portrait, and I snatched it out of curiosity." In fact, he snatched it after seeing the portrait.Then he inquired about the person who signed the portrait in the city, and finally found out the ins and outs, and returned the painting to Zhang painter.

"I see."

The author has something to say: Many people who eat melons said, why don't you go to bed? !

Well, soon, hahaha.

☆, out double into pair

The sky is like water, and the round fan flutters the fireflies.In a blink of an eye, it is another year's Qixi Festival.

Every year, Qixi Festival is the most anticipated day for young men and women in Chang'an City, because the River Lantern Festival will be held by the Zhan River this night.

At the River Lantern Festival, everyone puts the river lantern in the water, and if you fancy a girl, pick up the other party's river lantern.If the other party is interested, it is a good relationship. If not, the other party can ask for the river lantern back, but he needs to spend the festival with the person who picked up the river lantern.

Zhou House.

"Zhou Cun, today is Qixi Festival, can you accompany me to the River Lantern Festival?" Li Han looked at him expectantly.

"As a prince, you are not allowed to participate in private activities." Zhou Cun said while sitting under the banyan tree in the courtyard, reading a book without raising his head.

"Let's go secretly. If you don't tell me, I won't tell. Naturally, no one will know."

Seeing that the other party was still indifferent, Li Han deliberately felt aggrieved, "This is the only wish I have in my life, can't you promise me?"

……

At night, on Heqian Street, which is adjacent to the north of Zhanhe River, merchants and hawkers have already sold river lanterns.

However, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, Li Han took Zhou Cun to another sparsely populated Hexi Street.

"Don't you want to look at the lights? What are the black lights looking at?" Zhou Cun stopped and looked at Li Han speechlessly.

Tonight the moonlight is faint, and it is as silent as flowers.

"Teacher, many people over there will be recognized."

"You wait, I'm going to buy two Kunlun masks."

"No, I won't wait." Li Han grabbed the opponent's sleeve and refused to let go.

……

"Come with me, I know there is a high platform overlooking the entire River Lantern Festival." Li Han took the other party's hand and ran forward quickly.

There is a high platform in the south of Zhanhe River. Because the high platform has been in disrepair for a long time, it is very dilapidated. Many people pass by and turn a blind eye.

Li Han dragged Zhou Cun to the high platform.

Standing on the high platform near the river, I can only see the red light on the river surface, rippling with the waves, and occasionally I can hear the sound from a distance.

"Liu'er, quickly pick up this red river lantern." By the Zhan River, Chen Fang stood on the bank and directed Xiao Liu.

Chen Fang, the son of Chen Zhixing, Minister of the Ministry of War, was ignorant, arrogant and domineering.

"Master, there is a rule in the River Lantern Festival, you can only fish one at a time." The boy named Xiao Liu looked at his master with some embarrassment.

"Whatever he breaks the rules, you just get it for me."

"Miss, let's set off the river lanterns too."

"Let's put it away, didn't you see that dandy young master of the Chen family is here too!"

Li Han watched the river quietly for a while, then suddenly turned around and threw himself at Zhou Cun, then hugged his neck with both hands, with a tender look on his face.

Zhou Cun didn't pay attention for a while, and took several steps back before he stood still.

"Scared me." Zhou Cun stretched out his arms to hug him, panicking.

Li Han kissed the other party involuntarily.

Zhou Cun stretched out his hand to push back slightly, but the other party hugged him so tightly that he couldn't break free at all.

That's it.

Li Han pushed Zhou Cun to sit on the bench, then leaned forward.

The bright moon is like frost, the wind is like water, and the scenery is infinite.

Suddenly there were footsteps coming from far to near, Zhou Cun hurriedly turned his head, "Wait a minute, there is someone."

"I won't wait."

"Don't fool around."

As soon as the conversation was over, I saw someone climbing up the stairs.

"Yo, Master Zhou, what a coincidence."

"Brother Wuhua, what a coincidence." Zhou Cun hurriedly pushed Li Han away with an embarrassed look on his face.I don't know if they saw it or not.

"The black light is very suitable for a lover's tryst." Ji Wuhua joked.

"Where is it, what is suitable for a lover's tryst should be the release of river lanterns, otherwise what do you want to do at this river lantern festival?"

Ji Wushang was taken aback when he heard the words, "Isn't setting off the river lantern to pray for blessings?"

"No, Brother Wushang, who lied to you like that." Li Han said seriously.

Hearing this, Ji Wushang glared at the people beside him.

"Well, let's not stand here, it's so unsafe here."

The four of them walked on the street north of Zhanhe River, relatively silent for a moment.

At this time, the river lights on the other side were like daylight.

Suddenly, there were a few thuds from the nearby grass, and the four of them were immediately embarrassed.

At the fork in the street, Zhou Cun said against his will, "It's too late now, brother Wuhua, brother Wushang, just leave now."

"Your Excellency had a good rest that week. Let's say goodbye."

After Ji Wuhua left, Zhou Cun and Li Han turned to Chang'an Street.

At this time, Chang'an Street was full of bright lights and cars and horses.

"Well, teacher, look at the man in front, he seems to be the eldest brother Yanzhi."

Zhou Cun followed the other party's gaze, "The one next to him is Miss Sun Wan. It's really a good story."

On the other side, there were two people arguing on Heqian Street.

"Young master, this is my lady's river lantern, please return it." It was Wang Tingjun's maid Chunlan who spoke.

Wang Tingjun, Wang Taifu's youngest daughter, Wang Yan's younger sister, although she was in her prime, she has already grown into a beautiful woman, plus she is familiar with poetry and books, she has been a model of a famous family since she was a child.

Wang Tingjun had heard about the grand occasion of the River Lantern Festival for a long time, and couldn't help being curious, so she sneaked out of the mansion with her maid.

"If I don't return it." Seeing the other party reaching for it, Chen Fang immediately hid the river lamp behind his back.

"You!" Chunlan had nothing to do, she turned her head and said to her young lady, "Miss, this man is a scoundrel. Should I send someone to invite the young master here?"

"Why bother brother with such a small matter."

Seeing that the other party refused to return it, Wang Tingjun persuaded him softly,

"Young master, you already have a river lantern, can you return mine."

When Chen Fang heard that he threw the other lamp into the river, he waved his hand and said,

"Look, I only have one river lantern now."

Wang Tingjun looked at the person in front of him, quite helpless, not knowing what to do for a while.

At this time, I saw a masked young man in brocade clothes, taking advantage of Chen Fang's unpreparedness, and snatched the river lantern from the other party's hand.

Then, he handed the river lantern back to Wang Tingjun.

"Girl, please take it."

"Thank you, son." Chunlan quickly took it with both hands.

Seeing that the river lantern was robbed, Chen Fang said angrily, "Give me back the river lantern, everything comes first, first come first, I got the river lantern first."

Chunlan sneered when she heard the words, "Hmph, rascal. Now you're starting to speak the truth. Just now you were the first to break the rules. Everyone present can witness."

Seeing the number of people on the other side, Chen Fang had no choice but to leave in anger.

"Liu'er, go and check for me. Whose girl is this? I want my father to propose marriage." When you marry me, see how I deal with you.

Hearing this, Xiao Liu glanced back, seeing the girl's behavior and outfit, she must be either rich or expensive.I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle.

"Thank you just now, Young Master." Wang Tingjun bowed sideways.

"Girl, you don't need to take it to heart." Young Master Jinyi returned a salute.

"Is the young master also here to release the river lantern?"

"I'm here to find someone."

"If you have something else to do, Young Master, Ting Jun won't bother you."

"You go back alone, I'm afraid that person will pester you again. I'll take you to Chang'an Street."

"In this way, there will be Mr. Lao."

On Chang'an Avenue, there are many pedestrians and horses and cars.

"There are imperial guards patrolling Chang'an Street, so you can rest assured, Miss Li. Let's leave now."

Seeing that the other party turned around and was about to leave, Wang Tingjun called out to the other party hesitantly, "Li, Mr. Li...can you, can you take off the mask and let Ting Jun see it."

The other party hesitated for a moment, then slowly took off the mask.

"Thank you young master, Ting Jun bids farewell."

When the other party walked away, Li Rong couldn't help worrying and said, "His Royal Highness takes off the mask so that people can see his true face. If someone sees him and enters the palace, he will inevitably be punished again."

When we returned to Zhou Mansion, it was only half of Xu time (8:[-] p.m.).

"Teacher, it's too early now, how about we play a game of Go." Li Han followed Zhou Cun into the study and suggested.

"No." Zhou Cun refused.

"I'll give you two sons."

"If you can't say it, you won't do it." He loses every time he bets, which makes him lose face.

"Then let's continue discussing the design of the palace complex mentioned last time."

"it is good."

"My lord, it's midnight." Butler Zhou reminded him outside the door.

The two had so much fun discussing that they forgot the time.

The room fell silent for a while.

"I don't want to go back today." Li Han looked at Zhou Cun and said without doubt.

"Can I say no?" Zhou Cun said with a smile.

"No."

Li Han washed up early and lay down on the bed, resting his head on one hand and waiting for Zhou Cun.

Zhou Cun went back to the room and walked to the bed, pushed him, "Go to sleep."

Li Han was not embarrassed, and leaned in obediently.

So cooperative?Zhou Cun was slightly surprised.

But when the other party started to take off his clothes in front of him, Zhou Cun immediately lost his composure.

Li Han stripped himself naked in two or three strokes, and then leaned towards the other party with smiling eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Cun immediately picked up the quilt and wrapped the other party into rice dumplings.

Li Han looked depressed.

"Put on your clothes, be careful not to catch a cold." Zhou Cun took the clothes and handed them to the other party.

"No." Li Han flatly refused.

"Okay, up to you." Zhou Cun heard the words and lay down and began to sleep.

After a while, he heard the person behind him tossing and turning, very restless, Zhou Cun turned his head and said, "It's late at night, can you stop making trouble?"

"You hug me to sleep and I won't move around."

"Then put your clothes on."

"it is good."

Seeing that the person in his arms was finally settled, Zhou Cun couldn't hide his drowsiness and gradually closed his eyes.

The next day was slightly bright, and Zhou Cun began to wake up.

Suddenly realizing that the two people who were being hit hadn't caught an inch, they panicked for a while.After a while of calm thinking, he regained his composure.

Zhou Cun looked at the boy lying in his arms sleeping like an angel, stretched out his hand and lightly flicked the other's eyelashes, and scolded the little bastard.

After Li Han woke up and found that he was dressed, he was puzzled, he clearly remembered that he took off the clothes of the two of them yesterday.Is it a dream?But why did I not do anything in my dream...

As soon as Li Han returned to the mansion, Li Lin stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the imperial concubine came to the mansion in person yesterday, and she just left."

Li Han heard that his footsteps were blunt, and he frowned slightly, "Did you say where I went?"

Li Lin lowered his head, "Go back to Your Highness, I can't hide it from your empress."

Walking into the main hall, Li Han turned his head and asked Li Lin again, "What's the matter with your mother coming yesterday?"

Li Lin immediately ran to the table, picked up a scroll and handed it to the other party.

Li Han loosened the tie, and the painting scroll was fully displayed.I saw a woman in the painting, with beautiful features, dignified and elegant, quite a model of a famous family.This woman is Wang Taifu's young queen Tingyun.

After seeing the woman in the painting clearly, Li Han immediately understood the purpose of his mother's empress, but...

The author has something to say: the division of power between several people.

Li Zhao, Prime Minister Lu, Ministry of Households, Ministry of Rites

Li Han, General Li, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of Punishment

Li Hui, Supervision History, Ministry of War, Ministry of Officials

☆, gossip

As soon as he came to court, the Minister of the Ministry of War walked towards Zhou Cun with a malicious expression on his face.

"Your Majesty Zhou is really good at making the Second Highness obey you. Chen is deeply impressed." Chen Zhixing pointed out.

Zhou Cun paused when he heard the words, and then smiled lightly, "I can't compare to Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is only obedient to Mr. Pei, the supervisory censor. Zhou also admires him so much."

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Li Lin hesitated, hesitated to speak, "Your Highness, there have been some rumors in Chang'an City recently."

"Oh? Let's hear it."

"Say Master Zhou violated the teacher's example and seduced His Highness."

"What nonsense." Obviously he was the one who seduced Zhou Cun.

……

But now that he can get the news, Zhou Cun must know it too.I don't know how he will feel after hearing the rumors.

In Tianyi Pavilion, when Lu Xingyuan heard the rumors, he lifted the table,

"Is it the work of a gentleman to tell right and wrong behind people's backs?!"

"It's not from me. You have to be aware of this strong man."

"Who said that? You tell me, I will beat him until he cries for his mother." Lu Zhuangshi's eyes were fierce.

"The strong man spares his life, but the young man doesn't know."

Zhou House.

"Brother Wang Yan, why do you need to come here?" Zhou Cun got up and poured tea for the other party.

"Of course it's because of those rumors."

Zhou Cun paused when he poured tea, and then said lightly, "Since it's a rumor, why should you care about it?"

"You can take it seriously. But this rumor is strange. It must either harm you or the Second Highness. You should pay more attention in the future."

"Thank you for the reminder. By the way, the Soviet-style courtyard you asked me to design for you last time has been drawn, so you can take it with you along the way." After speaking, Zhou Cun turned and left the house.

Zhou Cun had just entered the study room this week, and Li Han followed suit.

"Zhou Cun." Li Han hugged the person in front of him.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Cun turned his head and saw the aggrieved look on the other side's face.

"I'm afraid you'll be sad, so I'll come and see you."

Zhou Cun just pulled off the opponent's hand wrapped around his neck, and the opponent wrapped it around again.

Li Han leaned his head on the opponent's shoulder and neck, with a serious expression on his face.

Who is this sad?

Zhou Cun sighed and stretched out his hand, hugging him back.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a person standing at the door, and his face flushed immediately.

Li Han noticed that the other party was strange, and followed the other party's gaze.

Wang Yan waited for a while and didn't see Zhou Cun, thinking that the other party was busy with something, so he thought of getting the blueprint by himself, but he saw the scene in front of him before entering the room.

It's neither going in nor going out, he's probably more embarrassed than the two in the room right now.

Zhou Cun was a little flustered for a while, "Well, what, brother Wang Yan is leaving? Oh, by the way, your design drawings." Zhou Cun immediately turned around and searched for the desktop.

"Teacher, the blueprint is on the bookcase."

Wang Yan took the blueprint and stood up to say goodbye. When he was done, he reminded him again and again, "Brother Zhou, you need to be careful in everything."

In the evening, it began to rain lightly.Li Han came to Zhou Mansion holding an umbrella.

Under the drizzle, the dim candlelight in the house also became hazy.

Zhou Cun stood by the window of the study, watching the person who came to meet him, and then saw the other person smiled slightly, put away the umbrella and walked into the house.

Li Han entered the room and stretched out his hand to close the window for the other party, "No matter how you stand here, you won't be afraid of getting caught in the rain."

Zhou Cun didn't look back when he heard the words, "It's just light rain, it's okay."

Li Han didn't say much, turned around and found a clean cotton cloth from elsewhere, put it on the opponent's head, and began to wipe the water droplets on the opponent's hair with both hands.

For a moment, the house fell silent, only the sound of rain outside.

Suddenly Li Han stretched out his arms to hug the person in front of him, leaned his head on the other's shoulder and neck, and slowly opened his lips and said, "I know, although you don't say it on the face, you must be sad in your heart."

Zhou Cun sighed slightly when he heard the words, "Then have a drink with me at the bar."

In the room, under the dim candlelight, there were two people sitting opposite each other.

Li Han quietly looked at the person in front of him, drinking one cup after another.

The night is getting darker and the rain is getting denser.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Cun slowly lay down on the table.

Li Han looked at the person lying on the table, got up and walked slowly to the person.

Under the bright yellow candlelight, the silhouette of that person overlapped with the memory.

That year, Zhou Cun was ordered to build the royal garden. In order to meet the deadline, Zhou Cun guarded the Shanglin courtyard day and night.

In the library of the Shanglin Academy, Zhou Cun looked through the classics. On the one hand, he learned about the landforms and topography where the imperial forest is located.

It was the same that day, with a light rain.

When Li Han walked into the library, he saw a person lying on the table and sound asleep. Looking from a distance, the person's clothes were stained with ink, and there were piles of paper balls scattered around.

Li Han was curious for a moment and stepped forward.

When he got closer, he realized that it was the person who said he was arrogant.

At this time, the man fell asleep, and his slightly shallow eyebrows flickered under the candlelight, making it hard to see clearly.

Li Han stood in front of that person and looked at it for a while, then thought.

Well, I want to leave him a souvenir.

Li Han picked up a pen and drew a few strokes on the other person's face. After a while, a turtle came alive.

Looking at his masterpiece, the corners of Li Han's mouth immediately turned up.

When the sound of footsteps faded away, the person on the table suddenly opened his eyes.

After regaining his senses, Li Han raised his arms and picked him up, then walked towards the next bedroom.

The autumn wind outside the house was mixed with drizzle, and there was a hint of coolness.

Li Han put Zhou Cun into the bed, just about to pull out his hand, he saw Zhou Cun opened his eyes, then hugged his head and kissed him.

Seeing this, Li Han replied and kissed back.

The two began to pull each other's clothes while kissing, and after a while, a pile of clothes scattered beside the bed.

Zhou Cun turned over and pressed Li Han under him, looking at him with a little misty eyes.

Li Han clasped his hands on each other's elbows, and said with a light smile, "Zhou Cun, do you know who I am?"

Suddenly the other party said an indistinct name.

Hearing this, Li Han immediately pushed the other party away angrily.Then he picked up the pillow and threw it outside.

Zhou Cun quickly stretched out his arms to hug him, and then sighed softly, "When will your problem of throwing things get better?"

"As long as you are here, it will be fine." Li Han said angrily.

Zhou Cun quickly comforted him, "I was just teasing you, don't take it seriously."

"Are you angry with me?" Li Han lowered his head.Show a sad expression.

"How could it be?" Zhou Cun smiled and kissed each other's eyes.

Seeing this, Li Han immediately threw Zhou Cun on the bed, then looked at him, and said affectionately, "Zhou Cun, I want you."

Zhou Cun looked at the expectant person and said hello.

On the second day, at dawn, Steward Zhou called the adults a few times and came in without any response.

Inside, there was a pile of clothes scattered around the bed.Steward Zhou stood outside the bed, without looking sideways, and said, "My lord, it's time to get up. It's time to go to court."

"Understood, you go down first." Zhou Cun turned and said to the visitor.

Hearing this, Li Han got out of the other party's arms, "Today you will call yourself sick, don't go to court early."

"How can you be absent from the morning court without a reason?" Zhou Cun stood up and paused insignificantly.

Li Han smiled when he saw the masterpiece he had left on the other party.

Following the gaze of the other party, Zhou Cun saw the scratches and bites on his body, and said amusedly, "Did you learn from that cat?"

"Then which cat did you learn from?" Li Han pointed to his back, only to see several fingerprints in deep color on it.

……

At Chenshi, Zhou Cun did not return to his residence, but turned around and went to Huayin Street.

There is an attic on Huayin Street, hidden in the bamboo forest and greenery, it is very hidden.

This attic is named Xuanji Pavilion, which is dedicated to collecting intelligence.

And the owner of Xuanji Pavilion is very mysterious, one person has many faces, sometimes he is a humble son of Zhilan Yushu, and sometimes he is evil, charming, mad and cold-faced killer. People in the world call him Xuanji son.

"Does this young master have an appointment?" A boy in the building went forward to greet him.

Zhou Cun took out something and handed it to the other party, "Next Zhou Cun, come to see Mr. Xuanji."

As soon as the little boy saw the thing, he immediately led Zhou Cun into the building, "Young master, wait a moment, the pavilion master will come right away."

Zhou Cun sat in the house and began to look around carefully. The antique buildings were in that person's style.

Suddenly a person came in from outside the door, the person had an evil face, and his flowers trembled with laughter. "Ah, so it's A Cun."

Zhou Cun looked at the person who came, and smiled back, "Ayu, you have been disguised as a man for so many years and no one knows?"

"Don't threaten me with this matter." The woman named Ayu closed her fan a little annoyed, suddenly thought of something, opened her fan again, and said triumphantly, "A Cun, you came today because of the rumors about you and the Second Highness? "

Unexpectedly, the other party actually brought it up, so Zhou Cun stopped being devious, "Do you know where the rumors started?"

"I knew you would come to ask about this. However, my Xuanji Pavilion has never been in a loss-making business, A Cun, you have to think about it before asking."

After hearing this, Zhou Cun slowly opened his lips and said, "Not long ago, there was a letter from Sichuan, which said that a person named Su Heng had been inquiring about you. Do you think I should write back to tell you that you are here. "

Zhou Yu said sadly when he heard the words, "A Cun, you actually ignored our friendship for more than ten years. You really broke A Yu's heart."

"Okay, let's get down to business. Where's my answer?"

"Well, don't be sad after hearing this answer." Zhou Yu leaned over and whispered three words in the other's ear.

Zhou Cun froze on the spot after hearing this.

"Look, I told you to be sad."

Zhou Cun got the answer and got up to leave.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

"Li Lin, you were sent to investigate the rumor that day, can you get some clues?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it's strange to say that, when I went to investigate, the person who spread the rumors had already disappeared."

The rumors spread for two or three days and ended without a problem.

The Palace of the Three Princes.

"Your Highness, why did you send someone to quell the rumors? Shouldn't the rumors spread more and more widely?"

"The queen mother said that dogs will bite people when they are in a hurry."

☆, happy full moon

Zhongqiu (August in the lunar calendar) I hope that people will live a long life and share the beautiful beauty of thousands of miles.

On this day, Taifu Wang's [-]th birthday, he enjoyed a banquet with all his relatives, friends and three princes.Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this Wang Taifu must be a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking.

It has been circulated in the market that the Queen Tingjun, the queen of the Wang Taifu, has dragon eyes and phoenix eyes, and she will definitely be the mother of the world in the future.

Wang Taifu's [-]th birthday, the palace is full of joy.

Today, Zhou Cun arrived at the palace first, and then His Royal Highness came slowly.

"Second Highness, please come inside." Wang Taifu looked at the visitor with a smile on his face.

"Ting Jun, come and meet the Second Highness."

Hearing this, Wang Tingjun came slowly wearing a light yellow gauze dress.

"Mr. Ting has met His Highness the Second Highness."

"My sister doesn't need to be polite."

In the guest suite room for two, another person came in from outside the door.

When Wang Taifu saw the crown prince, he did not seem to see the second highness, but said politely, "Ting Jun, this is the crown prince."

When Wang Tingjun and the prince met each other, they were both shocked.

is her.

It's him.

Wang Tingjun was stunned for a second, then bowed sideways, and said shyly, "Tingjun has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Miss Tingjun is polite." The prince returned a salute.

On the other side, Zhou Cun looked at the scene at the door and turned his head to ask Wang Yan, "Brother Wang Yan, the look of seeing my sister seems to have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Wang Yan followed Zhou Cun's gaze.His younger sister was surprised to see His Highness the Crown Prince.

"I don't know when Ting Jun met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"The word fate is clever."

Wang Yan sighed slightly when he heard the words, "You also know that my father has always praised His Highness the Second Highness very much, and this time he also hopes that Ting Jun will marry His Highness Second. Now that the two of them have found a good relationship, my father may feel sad if he knows about it. .”

This Wang Taifu wanted to match Wang Tingjun and Li Han wholeheartedly, so he led them to the small courtyard.

"Second Highness, Ting Jun said that there is something she wants to ask you for advice. You two are chatting happily, and I will call you two when the banquet starts."

As soon as Wang Taifu left, the two of them felt awkward.

The courtyard is wooded and lush.

After a moment of silence between the two, Li Han said, "Ting Jun, do you know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Well, I met him at the River Lantern Festival on Qixi Festival. I didn't know he was the prince at the time."

"Does he not know your identity?" Li Han asked cautiously.

"Yes, I don't know." Wang Tingjun hesitated.

Li Han sighed slightly, "If he doesn't know what to do, if he wants to get close to you..."

When Wang Tingjun heard this, he lowered his head for a moment, feeling a little sad.

Seeing this, Li Han said incredulously, "You two have only met once, and you are so devoted to him? Didn't you always say you would marry me?"

"What you said in the past can't count. Besides, you won't marry me. I heard that you like Brother Zhou. No wonder you always followed when Brother Zhou came to look for my brother. I thought you were here looking for me."

Ever since listening to the rumors in the market, Wang Tingjun learned many things without a teacher.

"Okay, since you and I both belong to each other, but since others want us to be together, let's pretend and hide it from others, what do you think?"

"it is good."

The birthday banquet started, and Li Han and Wang Tingjun returned to the hall.

As soon as Li Han returned to the hall, he immediately ran to Zhou Cun's side.

Seeing this, Wang Tingjun was quite speechless.

How did she think that His Highness the Second Highness liked her before.

After everyone was seated, Mrs. Wang stood up, held the wine glass and said, "Thank you to all the relatives and friends who came to join us today, and Mr. Wang is the first to do it as a respect."

Seeing this, everyone stood up and toasted, "I wish Wang Taifu a long life in Nanshan, and happiness like the East China Sea."

After the etiquette, everyone took their seats.

Suddenly, the third prince Li Hui came towards them.

"Second Brother, Lord Zhou, the two of you are really close as mentors and apprentices, we are together everywhere."

"Of course it's not like the third brother. You have to report everything like your mother." Li Han retorted.

"Second brother, don't be too happy."

After Li Hui left, several people came to toast.Zhou Cun and Wang Yan responded one by one.

After the person who toasted the toast left, Wang Yan filled Zhou Cun's wine, got up and said, "Brother Zhou, come, I will toast you too. I wish your official fortune as constant as the moon and as rising as the sun."

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your kind words, please." Zhou Cun drank it all in one gulp.

Li Han saw that Zhou Cun had drunk a little from a cup, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him, "Don't get drunk."

"It's nothing, but only a few drinks." Zhou Cun smiled slightly to signal to the other party.

Wang Yan coughed softly, "You two pay attention."

Li Han was displeased when he heard the words, "Why don't you say anything about the flirting between your sister and His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Li Han, don't be rude."

"is teacher."

……

A few days later, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives.

Zhou House.

"My lord, Lord Shen sent someone to tell you to go to the banquet at night."

Zhou Cun put down the pen and paper in his hand after hearing the words, "Well, I see."

Who is Mr. Shen? Of course, he is Zhou Cun's immediate boss, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shen Wang.

Shen House.

"Brother, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a small gift is not a respect." Zhou Cun raised his hand and handed the gift to Shen Wang.

"A Cun, why are you still so polite. Xishi, come here quickly. Come and meet your Uncle Zhou Cun."

"Uncle Zhou Cun." The boy named Xi Shi got up and saluted.

"It's been a year since I saw the stream stone grow taller again." Zhou Cun leaned over and patted the boy's head.

In the courtyard of the Shen residence, the three of them sat together under the moon.The bright moonlight quietly passed through the branches and sprinkled on the stone table.

"Senior brother, you went back to Shuzhong a while ago, but you went to see the teacher." Zhou Cun asked, taking the wine poured by the other party.

"Not only did I meet my mentor, but I also met Miss Qingcheng. This girl Qingcheng has been asking about you." Shen Wang joked.

"Senior brother is joking."

"Well, and the teacher kept nagging you to let you go and see him. Said that you were the best student he had ever taught."

Zhou Cun was a little sad when he heard the words, "Since I came to Beijing, I have gone home less often."

"If you want to go back, I can give you a month's autumn vacation." Shen Wang saw that his junior brother looked disgusted, and he was probably homesick.

"Thank you brother for your kindness. By the way, where did Xishi travel this year?" Zhou Cun adjusted his mood instantly, and then asked the boy with a smile.

This Shenxi stone was determined to travel all over Dajiang since he was a child, and compiled geographical records.

"I went to Jinling. I also met a good friend there, but unfortunately I left Jinling after staying for a month." The young man felt joyful at first, but later he became a little unhappy.

Zhou Cun quickly comforted, "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world."

Tonight the moon is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing.

Zhou Cun and his senior brother talked a lot without knowing it, and naturally drank too much wine.

After Xu hour, Zhou Cun pressed his temple because of a headache, and said goodbye, "Brother, thank you for the delicious food and wine tonight."

Shen Wang looked at the slightly drunken face of the other party, and suggested, "Should I send someone to take you back?"

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. Why is it so troublesome just a few steps away?"

Zhou Cun got up and left Shen's mansion, just a few steps away, he saw a person standing in front of him under the dim light.

Seeing him coming out, the man ran forward quickly.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Cun was surprised when he saw the person coming.

"After the palace banquet, I went to your house, butler Zhou said you came here." The dim light illuminated Li Han's expression softened.

"I kept you waiting for so long." Zhou Cun apologized.

Seeing that the other party's footsteps were a little sloppy, Li Han hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"you've been drinking?"

"Well, if you have a good chat, you will naturally drink too much."

"Zhou Cun."

"Ok?"

"I'll carry you back."

"it is good."

Shen Mansion is across the street from Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Cun leaned his head on the other party's neck, and suddenly laughed at himself, he actually asked Li Han, who was four years younger than him, to carry him, he really...

The two seemed to have walked for a long time, so long that Zhou Cun began to suspect that the dim light and warm atmosphere in front of him were just a dream, a flashy dream.

In a daze, Zhou Cun heard Li Han say softly, "Actually, you also recited me."

Um?When did I carry him on my back?

Zhou Cun did recite Li Han.

That was two years ago, when Li Han and Li Hui had a test of courage.

The two agreed that whoever gets the colorful sand in the newly built royal garden first will win.

That day Li Han and Li Hui hid in the grass respectively.Suddenly Li Hui stepped on something and made a crisp sound.

That night, Zhou Cun turned back to get the lost blueprints, and suddenly heard a voice passing by, and immediately said, "Who is there?"

Li Hui found out that his whereabouts were exposed, and ran away in a hurry.

In order to get sand and gravel, Li Han stepped on the gravel in a panic, not only knocked his foot, but also sprained his foot.

Zhou Cun approached and saw the person clearly, he was amused immediately, "Your Highness the Second Highness came here for sightseeing at night?"

Li Han turned his head away when he heard the words, "It's none of your business."

Zhou Cun looked at the other party covering his feet
