My lord, your plan is too obvious

Please don't come again if you have nothing to do.

-------------------------

——Tianqi Festival

Originally, this day was a rest day. In the morning, Ruohua finished practicing with Si Nian, and went into the small kitchen to stay.

After exercising these days, Ruohua obviously felt that the strength and speed of his body had greatly improved, and his whole body felt much refreshed, and finally he was not as breathless as before when he ran for a few steps.Ruohua is still very satisfied with this.

Ruohua originally wanted to ask the small kitchen to cook more food for lunch, but Odan happened to come to the small kitchen to get something. Seeing that Ruohua was trying to persuade Amin to cook a small stove for him, he teased and said:

"My lord, the lord is going to take you out for dinner tonight. You eat so much now, if you can't eat at night, you will be in trouble."

"I won't be awkward, I'm not a child anymore." Although Ruohua said so, he put down the fried cake in his hand.

"Young master, just eat some light food. Tonight, I'm sure I'll let you eat enough." Odan covered his mouth and smiled lightly.

"Would my sister go with me at night?" It's not over the norm to bring a maid when you go out. Although you can't eat at the same table, you can still eat a lot of food that you can't usually eat when you go together.

Hearing Ruohua's question, Odan blushed suddenly, and said hesitantly, "Tonight...I..."

"What's wrong?" Ruohua was a little puzzled seeing Odan's reaction.

"Hahaha," Amin on the side laughed, turned around and said to Ruohua, "My lord, don't ask, she is shy."

"Amin!" Odin's tone was rarely filled with anger.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, you, let's go to the festival." Amin hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Young master... I... I have something to do tonight, so I won't go with you." Odan said a little embarrassed.

"Sister has something to do and go get busy." Ruohua didn't insist anymore, but he was a little puzzled in his heart. It was the first time that Odan took the initiative not to follow him. Could it be that there was really something important to do?

Ruohua ate some snacks casually at noon and couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to bed to sleep.However, this sleep seemed to last for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, the sky outside seemed to be getting darker.

Ruohua turned over and got out of bed hastily, Odan seemed to have gone out, only a set of ordinary clothes he had never seen before was placed beside his bed, the inner was tea-white, and the outer robe was the color of dawn.

After dressing, Ruohua walked out the door and walked quickly to the main hall, but the atmosphere in the mansion today is really weird.Although there were not many maidservants in the house, I didn't see any of them on the way today. When I walked to the main hall, I saw Si Nian sitting there wearing a green-brown casual clothes.Ruohua couldn't help curling her lips, why only his clothes are always in these delicate colors.He is obviously not young anymore.

Seeing Ruohua approaching, Si Nian stood up and said softly, "Let's go."

However, when he walked to the door, Ruohua did not see the carriage parked there before, only two tall horses, black and white.Si Nian got on the horse directly, while Ruohua stood aside in a daze: This is... let me ride the horse by myself?The previous owner of this body was so weak, shouldn't he know how to ride a horse?Is this intended to test me, or is it unintentional?

"Qi Qi is docile and won't hurt you." Si Nian saw that Ruohua hadn't gotten on the horse, so he said something.

Ruohua saw that Si Nian didn't seem to have any unnaturalness, but he was slightly relieved, and got on his horse without any further hesitation.

Si Nian pursed his lips, but didn't speak, lightly licked the reins, and rode ahead.

Walking out of the alley in front of Prince Yan's Mansion and arriving at Shijing Road, Ruohua couldn't help being stunned.He had really never seen such a scene in the capital—the sky hadn't completely darkened, but the rows of oil paper lamps hanging on the street were already brightly lit, as if turning this evening into day.The prescribed time for selling has passed, but the vendors on the street are shouting loudly, and the girls who seldom go out at night on weekdays are all wearing bright clothes today, and walking on the street together without any scruples.

Ruohua raised his head slightly, Si Nian rode in front of him on horseback, his figure was outlined more clearly by rows of lights.

Si Nian's shoulders are broad, but he can't be called burly.At this time, he was sitting on the horse with his back straight, the lights on both sides reflected his side face, and the surroundings were noisy, but he was the only one standing in the light with his hands on the horse and his thin lips tightly closed. Looking from the right back side, his eyes were serious The appearance is really very good-looking.

But Ruohua just shook his head slightly, and was pulled back by the surrounding scene: Chuping’s Tianqi Festival was like this two days ago——

Before Ruohua thought deeply, Si Nian suddenly slowed down, walked alongside him, and said:

"The eldest son of the Xiang family, when he was young, he accidentally fell off a horse. Although he was not seriously injured, he was frightened. Since then, he has avoided seeing horses."

Si Nian's voice was very soft, like a chattering tone, but Ruohua shuddered abruptly when he heard it.

"I...I can't remember..." Ruohua explained somewhat.

"Xiang Ye wrote it to me in his own handwriting. Xiangfu has never had a book related to martial arts, and the mansion has never invited a teacher to practice martial arts." Si Nian said calmly while continuing to drive the horse.

"I..." Ruohua wanted to explain.

"I also sent someone to find some of the letters and circled bibliographies written by the eldest son of the Xiang family. The fonts are not familiar to me."

"..." Ruohua fell silent.

"Besides," Si Nian suddenly turned his head to look at Ruohua for some reason, and said with a light smile, "Mr. Xiang didn't like sweets and oils very much in the first two or three months after he arrived in Yanfu. Tell me, why are you so surprised now? Became such a glutton."

Ruohua, who was getting more and more flustered at first, couldn't help feeling a little annoyed when he heard the last line of ridicule: "You..."

"Okay, here we are." At this time, Si Nian pulled his horse and stopped in front of Liangyue Building, then looked at Ruohua with a pair of eyes, and said allusively, "I think you have reached the age where you can drink alcohol Alright."

Compared with Si Nian's relaxed tone, Ruohua's tone is much heavier.Si Nian obviously has already checked carefully, and now he is full of doubts, and there are many places that he still can't get past.Today's meal—couldn't be a Hongmen banquet.But now that he has come here, if Si Nian has murderous intentions, it is definitely impossible to escape by himself.

Ruohua took a deep breath, saw Si Nian who had already dismounted and walked into the restaurant, gritted his teeth and got off the horse as well, and quickly walked a few steps to follow.

Sinian and Ruohua went to the private room on the third floor. Although the restaurant is not very big, it is very carefully decorated everywhere.

Xu Shi Nian had already given the order before, and when he entered Wuzi, he saw that dinner and wine jugs were ready on the table.

Si Nian sat on the couch in front of the window, and stretched out his hand to pull up the half-covered bamboo curtain. The Liangyue Building is located at the intersection of the market and roads. Looking out from this building, the capital city tonight is really a blur. The lanterns are just coming on, and river lanterns have already floated in the distant city river, like stars flowing into the river of the world.

"Come and sit," Si Nian Ban leaned on the cushion, without the seriousness and rigidity of the past.

Ruohua nodded slightly, sat across from Si Nian, and looked at him warily.

"The wine in Liangyuelou is brewed according to the season. At this time, it is bamboo green wine and plum wine." Si Nian rolled up his sleeves, poured a glass from two jugs, and pushed them in front of Ruohua. "Try it."

Ruohua picked up one of the cups and took a sip. The slightly sour taste of plums spread in his mouth, and there was a little sweetness in the aftertaste.This wine is not mellow and thick, but the taste is also unique.Ruohua also drank wine in his previous life, but most of them were grain wine. The taste was spicy and pungent. Although it was rich and mellow, it was really hard to say how much he liked it.

It was the first time for Ruohua to drink this kind of sweet wine, so she put down her guard for the time being, and took another sip happily.

Si Nian saw that the person on the opposite side relaxed a little, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and poured himself a glass of bamboo green wine.

"The lights are dim and the shadows are full of people. This kind of night scene can only be seen today in a year." Si Nian said as he filled up his wine and looked sideways out of the window.

Ruohua didn't know what to drink, so he silently picked up another glass of wine and took a sip.The taste of bamboo green is clear, a little spicy but it only makes people feel that the alcohol is deserted. Drinking it into the mouth seems to be swept by the side of the bamboo leaves, forcing a bit of chill.

"The red beans and red dates you asked someone to bring home have already been replaced with brocade tassel waistbands, and the hanging lamps have also been replaced with long-handled painted lamps. If not, your sister will probably really miss you to death." Si Nian In the end, he smiled lightly.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to say?" Ruohua didn't want to continue to argue anymore, since Si Nian opened his mouth today, he definitely wanted to make it clear, but he didn't know how far he had found himself...

"What do I want to say?" Si Nian said calmly, "It's better to say, what exactly do you want to do, Emperor Wen Xiao Xia Qing."

After finishing speaking, Si Nian put down the flagon and stared closely at Ruohua whose shock could not be concealed.

The two of them were silent for a while, only the noise of the street market outside kept coming into their ears.

"My lord, what you said... is really a fairy tale." Ruohua didn't know how Si Nian could guess it, but there was no evidence, so he had no choice but to deny Si Nian.

"It's really absurd. I checked you for so long and never thought about it, but..." Si Nian took out a booklet from his front, "I saw this from the waste manuscripts of the Xia Yuan Dynasty that were not completely burned. .”

Ruohua took the booklet, his heart sank, and when he opened the first page, he saw something he was very familiar with in the previous life.

"Two days ago, King Mao sent the gift of thanks to the mansion, and I knew that you were the one who told King Mao about the reform of the system that day. Such a strategy, no matter how smart the eldest son of the Xiang family is, is impossible. .A matter of the court, a hair will affect the whole body. If you don't think about it every day, how can you change it when you touch it."

Si Nian poured another glass of wine: "The handwriting on this manuscript is the same as yours, and the reform method you proposed is almost the same as what you said that day. I thought Xu was one of Xia Yuan's advisers, but I can privately print a single The word Qing. Those with Qing in their names can also be photographed in the government, and there is only the last Emperor Wen Xiao in Xia Yuan."

Si Nian had already said so far, but Ruohua calmed down.So he also leaned back on the cushion, shook the booklet, half-closed his eyes, and said with some self-mockery:

"I thought that after my death, these things were also burned under the fire of Weiying. Unexpectedly, I saw them again in this life."

Hearing Ruohua's confession, Si Nian felt a little empty in his heart.The person in front of him was actually the last emperor of Xia Yuan. For some reason, listening to Ruohua talking about his lonely appearance in his previous life, Si Nian felt as if his chest was being pressed down by a heavy object.

"Now that you know, tell me what you want to do with me." Ruohua threw the booklet on the table and sat with arms crossed, "I don't think the lord just wants to talk to me about the customs and history of Xia Yuan. .”

"What exactly do you want to do?" Si Nian refilled the wine for the two of them.

Ruohua won't hide it anymore after taking the wine, anyway, let's talk about the matter at this point, as for how Si Nian will deal with himself - let's follow the fate after dawn, anyway, he should have died a hundred years ago.

Ruohua drank the wine in one gulp: "Of course I want to take this world back."

"Why?" Si Nian frowned, "Aren't you fine now?"

"If that damned woman hadn't colluded with the eunuch to poison me, this world should still belong to Xia Yuan now." Ruohua felt unwilling when he thought of being poisoned to death, and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Why are you so sure? The situation in this world is ever-changing. Even without Weiying, Xia Yuan may not be able to survive for a hundred years."

"Then according to what you said, even if Xia Yuan will die in the end, as long as I let it prosper for a few more years without being destroyed by Wei Ying, then this world may not necessarily belong to you Chu Ping. Besides, Chu Ping originally Xia Yuanzhong is a country separated from it, so I am still your ancestor." Ruohua drank a few sips of wine, and he thought about it thoroughly, so he spoke more and more freely.

Si Nian was not angry, but continued to drink for Ruohua: "Since you are dissatisfied, why did you dedicate your reform method to King Mao?"

Ruohua drank the wine, collected himself, and stared at Sinian with a pair of eyes: "The prince said that you hope this land is safe. But do you want the world to be safe, or do you want Chu Ping'an to be stable?"

Si Nian took a sip of his wine and said nothing.

Ruohua looked out of the window, and seemed to be talking to himself: "For me, only by guarding the world can I guard Xia Yuan. This is my world, why don't I want it to change for the better."

"If you want it to get better, why do you provoke troubles in the court?" After knowing Ruohua's thoughts, many things that Si Nian hadn't thought about before were also explained.Ruohua doesn't want to help the prince or King Mao, he just wants the two parties to be evenly matched so that the two factions can fight each other so as to disrupt the court situation.

"This is my world, of course it will belong to me in the end. I don't want to guard this world for others." Ruohua put one hand on the table, picked up the jug in front of Si Nian with the other hand, and poured himself another glass .

Si Nian looked at the fair boy in front of him, his cheeks flushed from drinking.He clearly said that it was related to the world's ambitions, and he also knew that he was already a crowned emperor in his body, but when he said such rebellious words, he felt a little angry and coquettish. Not angry.

"So you're going to destroy Chu Ping's peaceful and prosperous world?"

"How can I destroy it?" Ruohua tapped the eaves of the table with his wine glass in dissatisfaction, "Is what I said or what I said violated the law? It's just that Chu Pingxiao can't bear it. I am the emperor..."

Si Nian thought about it, and what Ruohua said was indeed right.From the method of collecting commercial taxes, to the interview with Nan Zhi, to the reform of the six ministries, Ruohua's methods are all really for the people and for the country's interests.It's just that he changed the implementation of these methods in a different way.The chaos in the court is due to party disputes, not because of these methods themselves.

Si Nian raised his head, wanting to say something more, but found that the person across from him was already drinking from the flagon.Although the plum wine and green bamboo are not strong in the mouth, they are both intoxicating wines, there is no way to drink them like this.Besides, even if this person is a crowned emperor, but this body is still a 16-year-old boy, and he has hardly drank alcohol before, so he will be very drunk soon.

Ruohua was already half-drunk, he thought, anyway, after this night, he still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, so he might as well take this opportunity to act recklessly, so that he can live a new life in vain.So he let go of his courage and said:

"Do you want to bet with me that as long as I live, even if I don't do anything against the people, this world will be mine in the end."

"I will do my best to protect the current Chu Ping." Si Nian said seriously.

"Then what if one day the emperor of Chuping did something outrageous and unreasonable?"

Si Nian's eyes turned cold, and he squeezed his wine glass tightly: "Then I will kill him with my own hands. What I want to protect is the safety of this land."

"Hahaha," Ruohua laughed drunkenly, "You care about the country, the people, and the world."

"I have Chu Ping's blood on my body." Si Nian said calmly.

"Hmm..." Ruohua felt that the shaking in front of her eyes was getting worse, but the expression of the person in front of her seemed very familiar, so she reached out and touched Si Nian's face, and said inarticulately, "If you are the emperor, It's better than the current one..."

Ruohua's hand was white and slender, green like jade, after drinking at this time, the palm of his hand was pressed against Si Nian's face with warmth, and he rubbed it unconsciously.

Si Nian, who had never been treated so presumptuously by anyone, was also stunned at this time, but then he took the hand back, wrapped it with his palm and stuck it to his face, his eyes softened, and said A word I haven't said in a long time:

"Prince Yan Chu Sinian will not ascend to the throne in this life."

Ruohua was dizzy, unable to turn his head, only felt that his hands seemed to be held by someone, and the half-standing posture was a little tired, so he leaned forward again, and asked according to Si Nian's words:

"why?"

Si Nian almost felt the warm moisture mixed with the smell of alcohol on his face. Seeing that the person in front of him was already drunk, he pursed his lips and did not answer. He just gently embraced Ruohua and said:

"Let's go home."

Ruohua was so dizzy that she didn't know what Si Nian said, so she just nodded in response.

Si Nianban came out of Liangyue Tower with Ruohua in his arms, but the noise outside had disappeared.Most of the people on the street have also returned home, only a few couples are still sitting next to each other holding lamps and talking.

Si Nian felt that the person in his arms couldn't stand upright, and he was still saying some vague words. It seemed that there was no way for him to ride a horse by himself.So he pulled the man onto his horse, held him in his arms, and held Ruohua with one hand pulling the rope and the other to prevent him from falling.

After walking a few steps forward, the person in his arms suddenly twisted and turned. Si Nian's eyes darkened, and he pressed Ruohua's shoulder and said in a low voice:

"Don't move."

"It's beautiful..." Ruohua stretched out her hand and pointed to the paper lantern not far away. Although she was obviously drunk, she looked at Si Nian with the light shining in her eyes.

"Then I'll go and pick one for you..." Si Nian patted the boy's head, with a tone of pampering that even he himself was surprised by.

"Okay." Ruohua showed a big smile when she heard that her wish was fulfilled.

The row of paper lanterns happened to be hanging, so Si Nian didn't get off the horse, but just bent down a little and took off the next one, and stuffed it into Ruohua's arms.

Ruohua seemed to hold the paper lantern up and down several times curiously, and finally hugged the lantern in his arms without any fuss, and relaxed and leaned against Si Nian's arms.

Si Nian felt his chest sink, and a warmth came over him.It was Haishi, and the market had already calmed down, sleeping in the night, only the paper lanterns that hadn't been extinguished were shining brightly on the side of the street to form a river of lights, illuminating the way back.

Feeling the even breathing ups and downs from his chest, Si Nian slowed down, looked down at the person in his arms and the paper lantern tightly held in his arms, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Does this count as returning home with the lamp, and whether it can be with you for a lifetime.

Back at the mansion, Si Nian carried Ruohua back to the room and put him on the bed.Ruohua's sleeping posture is never very good, and it's even worse when he's drunk.Si Nian put Ruohua on the back of the bed, and pulled the thin quilt over him.

The moonlight outside shone in and reflected on the young man's face. The lively, sly and melancholy face in the past became quiet at this moment, and it was extraordinarily well-behaved.Si Nian reached out and took off the hairpin on Ruohua's head. The soft hair spread out on the bed, and with that fair face, she seemed like a fairy who had fallen into the mortal world.

Si Nian leaned down, kissed the corner of Ruohua's mouth lightly, stretched out his hand to caress his cheek, sighed softly and muttered to himself:

"You asked me why I wouldn't be the emperor, because I told that person very early on that King Yan Chu Sinian, good Longyang, will never have any heirs in this life, and he will not inherit the throne."

Then he said with some relief: "I thought this life was nothing more than this, but fortunately you are here... No matter who you were, you will be my Ruohua in this life."

Sinian brushed the broken hair in front of Ruohua's face, then got up, blew out the candles in the paper lantern, closed the door softly and went out.

That night, the lights in the capital were like a dream.In Si Nian's dream, it was a young man in a twilight robe holding a paper lantern, tilting his head and smiling, illuminating the entire imperial city.

☆, Maltose

When Ruohua woke up, it was already daylight, but fortunately today was still a holiday, so he was allowed to sleep until the sun was up.

He still felt a little pain in his head, and his body was heavy. He wanted to turn over and continue to sleep, but——

Ruohua sat up suddenly, he suddenly thought that last night Si Nian already knew that he was the last emperor of Xia Yuan, and he seemed to have said a lot of presumptuous words, then what?What happened after yesterday? !Why did he have no memory at all.

After Ruohua changed her clothes, she opened the door in fear, and saw that Odan was already waiting at the door.

"My lord, you are awake." Odin squinted and smiled.

"En..." Seeing that Odan was no different from the past, Ruohua heaved a sigh of relief.

"My lord said that you drank too much yesterday, and asked me to prepare some refreshing soup, and I'll bring it right away."

Ruohua couldn't help shaking when he heard the word "Prince", why did he feel that everything was so peaceful?Now that we know his identity, shouldn't we find a way to get rid of him, or even find a reason to send him out of the capital to stay away from the court.It's as if... nothing happened.

Soon, Odan came back with a bowl of brown soup: "My lord, this can relieve my headache."

Ruohua looked at the dark soup, and couldn't help but feel apprehensive: there wouldn't be anything added to it...he didn't want to be poisoned again in this life...

Seeing that he refused to drink for a long time, Odan smiled slightly: "Young master, why are you still like a child? Although this is hard, it is good for your health. You should drink it while it is hot."

The more Odan said that, the more Ruohua dared not drink.Although he believed that Odan would not harm him, who knew if anyone else had tampered with this soup.

"I'm not dizzy, can I stop drinking?" Ruohua took a step back slightly.

"If the son is afraid of hardship, how about I go get two candied fruit?"

"I don't really have any discomfort in my body."

"Then..." Seeing that Ruohua really didn't want to drink, Odan felt embarrassed.This soup was ordered by the prince to let Xiang Ruohua drink it.

"Sister... just treat it as if I've already had a drink, okay?" Ruohua saw that Odan hesitated, and continued.

"Then if the prince asks, the young master will say that he has already drunk." Odan said in a low voice.

"I know." Ruohua nodded.

But then a voice came:

"What are you two talking about?" Si Nian reckoned that Ruohua should wake up, so he came to look for him, but when he came from a distance, he saw Ruohua and Odan whispering something.

"My lord." Odin saluted in a flustered manner, for fear of being scolded for what he just said.

"Get up," Si Nian saw that Odan was still holding the bowl of soup and Ruohua's pale face, "What's the matter? Does anyone want to drink the medicine?"

"My lord..." Odan was anxious to explain.

"Okay, you go down," Si Nian took the soup in one hand and sent her away, "I still have something to tell the young master."

"Yes." Odin half-bent and backed away.

Taking the decoction, Si Nian walked straight into Ruohua's room, turned around and said to the person still standing at the door:

"Come in, drink this hangover soup first, you did drink a lot yesterday."

Ruohua walked into the room slowly, but never took the soup, and stared at Sinian warily.

Seeing his reaction, Si Nian looked like a frightened hedgehog, and couldn't help but sneered:

"Okay, the medicine is not poisonous. If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it yesterday."

Ruohua blushed a little when she heard Si Nian's teasing tone. Anyway, her identity had been exposed, but she lost the respectful politeness she used to pretend.The bitterness of the medicine made him frown.

Seeing Ruohua drink it, Si Nian took out a small paper bag from his cuff, opened it with two fingers, put it in the palm of his hand, and stretched it out in front of Ruohua:

"Maltose, remove the bitterness."

Ruohua took one and put it in his mouth.The sweetness of maltose relieves the bitter taste of the soup in the mouth.However, Ruohua still stared at Sinian vigilantly: "This prince, why is his attitude so good?"What on earth is he trying to do.

Being stared at by Ruohua, Si Nian didn't feel uncomfortable, he just sat down on the chair, put his elbows on the square table and said, "Did you forget what happened yesterday?"

"Since the lord knows who I am, don't go around in circles anymore." Seeing Si Nian's unhurried look, Ruo Hua felt a little anxious.

"You made a bet with me yesterday," Si Nian stared at Ruohua, "Who will the world belong to?"

Ruohua pursed her lips and said nothing.

"I agree." Si Nian said casually, "As long as you don't do anything harmful to the people, I won't stop you."

Ruohua frowned: "What conditions does your lord have?"

According to Ruohua's understanding of Si Nian, Si Nian is definitely a person who is dedicated to his family and country, how could he bet on the world with himself and not stop him?

"I have no conditions. What you said yesterday is also reasonable. The law you mentioned is for the benefit of the people of the world and my territory. Why should I stop it?"

"I won't help the prince wholeheartedly, and of course I won't assist King Mao in a new way."

"I know," Si Nian sat up slightly, "That's why I won't stop you. I also want to know who is the most suitable to succeed Chu Ping in the end."

"Maybe it's Xia Yuan." Ruohua stared at Si Nian and added.

Si Nian saw that Ruohua's eyes had more ambition and firmness hidden in the past, and he smiled a little:

"So, it's a gamble."

Ruohua restrained her aggressive arrogance, and replied in a low voice: "My lord must keep his word."

"Naturally." Si Nian stood up.

Ruohua was flustered when she woke up, so she didn't have time to wash up. At this time, her hair was simply tied with a hair band, and some of the hair had slipped to the side of her face.

As Si Nian approached, he raised his hand and pinned those strands of hair behind Ruohua's ear as if it was natural.

Ruohua, who was touched by the ear, shrank subconsciously, and then turned a little red.Seeing Ruohua's reaction, Si Nian chuckled.

"No one has dared to touch me like this before." Ruohua said annoyed.

Si Nian's hand paused for a moment, resting on the tip of the small ear, and then continued to move the strands of hair slowly, leaning over and saying softly:

"But you are Xiang Ruohua now."

Si Nian saw that Ruohua had stopped talking, so he patted Ruohua, who was half a head shorter than him, on the head: "Wash up, let's have lunch together, I'll wait for you in the main hall." After speaking, he walked out.

Si Nian's words "You are Xiang Ruohua now" kept lingering in Ruohua's ears, and the soft words tickled his nerves like feathers.Ruohua rubbed his hair indiscriminately angrily, he didn't know why he was being awkward, but he just felt a little weird.

Ruohua stood in front of the bronze mirror, looked at this familiar face, touched his ears with his hands, and said to himself:

"Sure enough, no one was close to me in the last life, so I feel so uncomfortable..."

Si Nian, who had already walked out of the door, put the remaining malt candy into his mouth, and the corners of his mouth curled up in satisfaction.

☆, Mid-Autumn Festival

Returning to the court after the Tianqi Festival, everything seems to be developing in an orderly manner.

The day of Yuyue Jinfeng was set on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, and the ministers who were originally vacillating in the court all followed suit.On the contrary, the crown prince is still calm and unhurried, which makes the ministers who have always supported him start to be restless.

Ruohua, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, although he stands in the court every day, no other courtiers have made friends with him or asked him about it. It is probably because the Ministry of Rites has always been under the control of Si Nian, and Ruohua lives in Yanwang's mansion. The matter is not a secret, so no one is willing to mess with this cold-faced prince.

Ruohua is also happy with this, those people who follow others are just peripheral pawns for the overall situation, the important thing is the crown prince and King Mao, as well as the emperor's opinion on them.Besides, since Si Nian had exposed his identity, he had nothing to hide.Although Ruohua didn't fully figure out why Si Nian didn't stop him from doing what he did, Ruohua believed that since Si Nian had said it, he would naturally not use it to blackmail him.So he only needs to devote himself to dealing with the crown prince and King Mao.

It was the first time for the Prince of Jin to be crowned since Qingping, and it was just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the event was extra lively.

Yu Yuesheng is considered handsome at first, and will be crowned in half a year. Now it is the time between a boy and a man, and his face still has the pleasing white and delicate figure of a boy. But he was as tall as a grown man.

Yuyue wore a five-bead crown inlaid with emerald jade and precious stones on her head, the silver-threaded unicorn on her chest was replaced by gold-thread embroidered ones, and the jade pendant around her waist was replaced by emerald jade carved with a half-dragon.The weather was just right that day, the morning sun shone in from the main entrance of the main hall, and Yuyue stepped across the threshold of the main hall during the courtiers' salute, and came with her sleeves swung, the sun set off the unicorn on his chest It was shining brightly, as if it was about to jump out of the clothes and break through the sky.

Yuyue knelt in the middle of the hall, took the imperial edict with both hands, and stood up.Behind him were all the ministers of Chu Ping, and for a moment it was truly a sight to behold.Many years later, Yuyue tightly clutched the dilapidated and blood-stained imperial edict, still thinking: how could I lose that day?

On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a dinner is held in the palace.Ruohua, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was included in the banquet, and at night, even Si Nian went together.

Ruohua sat in the position of courtier, and there was still some distance between Si Nian's position.After entering the Dragon Saliva Hall, Ruohua consciously sat on the side where the other ministers were. However, Ruohua, who came for the first time, was curious, and this kind of banquet was not too serious, so she took a sneak peek around with.

The emperor was naturally sitting in the highest seat, but the queen's seat was vacant, perhaps due to poor health and unable to get up.Sitting on the lower steps of the emperor was a concubine in a light lotus color brocade dress. If she guessed right, this was Yu Yue's birth mother, Concubine Rong.This woman is a little different from Ruohua's. Ruohua thought that Yuyue's temperament was at least inherited from her mother and concubine, but at least from the clothes, this woman should be relatively low-key and cautious.In addition to the mid-autumn feast and the fact that his own son was proclaimed as a prince, if he was a flamboyant person, he would definitely come dressed in fine clothes on this day.

And the next step is Prince Qi Guang. Qi Guang came early, dressed in bamboo green clothes, looking out the window, not knowing what to think.

And the third step down is the two sides of the main hall.The prince and prince sat on the inside, and the courtiers sat on the outside.Ruohua saw Si Nian walking to the innermost seat, and seemed to want to sit down, but hesitated for a moment, and then sat in the outermost seat.After a while, Yuyue also came, and went straight to the innermost seat and sat down next to each other.Ruohua understood at once, they used to be the county kings, and Si Nian was the highest rank among them, and the position closest to the third rank should have been Si Nian in the past.But now Yuyue has become the prince, so naturally the seat has also been adjusted accordingly.

For these things, Ruohua, who had been the first emperor, naturally understood and was used to it long ago.But for some reason, seeing that Si Nian moved a position to Yu Yue, Ruo Hua suddenly felt a little bit aggrieved.It's as if one's own people have been bullied by others for no reason.Ruohua, who realized that he had such a thought, was startled, and quickly looked away, staring at the bowls and chopsticks in front of him without squinting: He is not mine...he can't be used by me, I care about him what are you doing...

Si Nian nodded lukewarmly to Yuyue who was beside him, and then said nothing.But Yuyue whispered:

"Uncle Huang, Xiang Shangshu in your house is really smart."

Si Nian glanced at him, and said coldly: "The Ministry of Rites never raises useless people."

"Oh," Yu Yue chuckled, "Uncle Huang is strict."

Si Nian frowned slightly and said nothing.

But Yuyue did not give up and said: "A few days ago, I sent someone to give Xiang Shangshu a thank you gift. I heard that it was the uncle who accepted it and handed it over."

"Well, he was not in the mansion that day. It is his ability to be recognized by the emperor's nephew." Si Nian's words showed that he knew about the thank you gift, and he also knew why Yuyue gave the thank you gift.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Emperor." Yuyue smiled and said nothing.That Xiang Ruohua really didn't lie, since King Yan knew about it, he still kept him in the mansion, it seems that he and the crown prince were not completely on the same side.Maybe... I can still fight for King Yan, after all, I heard
