My lord, your plan is too obvious

Tea, the warmth rushed out of my heart unexpectedly, with wantonness and invasion, and a strange feeling enveloped my whole body in a blink of an eye.

Ruohua stayed outside for a while, then pretended to have just come back, and stepped into the gate.

Si Nian raised his head slightly:

"The palace servants brought some snacks."

Ruohua sat down on the chair beside the square table, lowered his head, took a piece of snack and bit it one bite at a time.

"What?" Si Nian saw that Ruohua was a little more depressed than before, "Is it not very pleasant to go to the Ministry of Industry?"

Ruohua was stunned when he heard the Ministry of Industry, and then reacted, and said quickly:

"The Ministry of Industry is still busy with iron casting, and I'm a bit bored sitting aside. It's been so long and I haven't finished it yet." Ruohua pretended to complain.

"The art of casting iron is really not sloppy. If you want to find Lin Lang, go there in a few days."

"En." Ruohua didn't swallow what was in his mouth completely, and replied with some articulate words.

Seeing him like this, Si Nian felt that the somewhat gloomy atmosphere just now dissipated, so he chatted with him:

"A few days ago, did you finish reading the book you asked for from me?" Si Nian was also a little strange, Ruohua didn't like to read essays and gossip, and he didn't like to read pedantic essays, but he just liked miscellaneous essays on history.

"After reading it, I will return it to the prince after I return to the mansion." Although he has accepted that he is Xiang Ruohua, Ruohua still can't help but find traces about Xia Yuan in the words of the book, but when he Seeing "Yuanqi Nine Years, Xia Yuan died" over and over again, I still feel a deep sense of powerlessness and regret.

In the various historical theories of Chu Ping, the evaluation of Xia Yuan is generally neither praise nor derogation, but the evaluation of him is more controversial. Some history books write themselves as a warlike and brave emperor, and some He wrote about a legendary emperor who ascended to the throne as a young man and ruled the world, and some sect Zuo Zhizhong simply wrote that he coveted the beauty of the eldest princess to marry him as a queen, and the eldest princess refused to obey and poisoned himself to death...

When Ruohua saw that passage, he really wanted to beat up the person who wrote this historical theory. It was Weiying who wanted to marry their eldest princess over and over again, but he just thought it was a marriage that could be used. .He had only seen that woman once, and then she was poisoned to death.

But no matter how the historians have different opinions, the indisputable fact is that less than three months after Xia Qing's death, the Xia Yuan Dynasty, which was very prosperous for a while, fell apart.On the contrary, it caused a lot of embarrassment in the book. The survival and death of such a big country can only happen overnight, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.

"If you like it, let it go to you." Although Si Nian's few history books are kept in the house, he rarely reads them. Si Nian doesn't like those historians who have no arguments. Which dynasty in the book are you interested in?"

"Xia Yuan." Ruohua almost blurted out, but immediately regretted his recklessness.

"Oh?" Si Nian became even more curious when he heard these two words... It seems that when Ruohua woke up, the first question he asked was...

Ruohua quickly changed his words: "Xia Yuan, Qingshang, and Yin's gossip are all very interesting...and I just have nothing to do to kill some free time..."

"Really?" Si Nian saw that Ruohua had changed his words, so he didn't ask any further, "After you finish your snacks, let's go back home together."

"Yes."

Ruohua let out a breath, really careless...

Two days later, Yuyue brought up the matter of restructuring again when she was in court.

"Father, my son thinks it's not completely unreasonable for the system reform mentioned by the emperor's brother a few days ago." Yuyue kowtowed as a salute.

There was an uproar in the court.A few days ago, the crown prince was scolded for this incident, King Mao thought of something again.

"Hmph", although the emperor was dissatisfied, he didn't get angry at the crime, he just snorted coldly, "Talk about it, what do you think makes sense."

Yuyue knelt up straight:

"I know that my father is dissatisfied with the restructuring proposed by my brother, but if it goes on for a long time, my father will only kiss people around me and stay away from the loyal and good ministers in the court. How can the ministers who are loyal to you make the world peaceful for this Chu?" Do your best. It will only make more people dare not speak out. Father, Shengming, naturally knows the pros and cons. I hope father will consider the reform."

From the emperor's expression, it was hard to tell whether he agreed or not, but Ruo Huaneng clearly felt that the surrounding ministers all showed admiration.When the crown prince first proposed it, the courtiers may have been more surprised than appreciative of the matter.As for King Mao - with the lessons learned from the prince, he knew that there might be a scolding, but he still dared to speak out, which made it easier to arouse others' admiration.This is also the reason why Ruohua planned to ask the prince to propose a solution that the emperor could not accept.

The emperor didn't speak for a while, and everyone looked nervously at Yuyue who was kneeling in the middle of the hall.But Prince Qi Guang also rarely suppressed his old smile, as if he was thinking about something.

"Father, my subjects are not as smart as the emperor's elder brother, but I have also thought of some ways to reform the system. I hope my father can take a look at it." After speaking, Yuyue presented the document with both hands, and then bowed her head respectfully.

"Bring it up." The emperor sent the little eunuch beside him to take the document from Yuyue's hand.

The emperor frowned tightly at first, just when everyone thought that King Mao would also be condemned this time, the emperor suddenly showed a look of relief and appreciation, then waved the sleeve of the golden dragon robe, and said:

"It's still Yu'er who wins my heart!"

The ministers in the DPRK and China had different expressions, but they all showed surprise.But Ruohua lowered her head slightly, hiding the smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Yu'er, sue your restructuring method to this hall, and let all the ministers listen to it."

"Yes, father." Yuyue stood up, then turned to face the important courtiers, and said with her hands behind her back, "I think that in addition to the six departments, another inner academy can be set up. This department is independent from the six departments and is only in charge of the six departments. Classification and annotation of documents."

After hearing what Yuyue said, some of the ministers looked a little unnatural, as if they were holding back their dissatisfaction.

Yuyue paused for a moment, then continued: "However, the staff in this inner academy are all selected from the Hanshi, and are not included in the official register. The selection of personnel is selected by the emperor from all over the country, and is replaced every three years. After the term expires, the talented people will be sent back to their ancestral home as magistrates, and the mediocre people will only be given some money or land as a reward for the hard work of the past three years. This is the case. Among them, the high turnover of personnel prevents the power of the inner academy. Dominance also prevents conflicts or collusion with the six ministries, and fundamentally prevents eunuchs from meddling in the government."

Yuyue leaned slightly: "This restructuring strategy is only my own method, there may be many flaws, I don't know if you adults have any pointers to add to this."

The ministers who were dissatisfied just now gradually showed satisfaction when they heard the second half of Yuyue's words, and Yuyue's humble tone at the end made all the ministers show their admiration.

It is indeed very rare for a young prince to not only be willing to face the risk of being reprimanded to talk about restructuring, but also to consider everything in such a way that it does not harm the interests of all parties.What's more, there is no complacency at all, and he is willing to bend down to ask for advice in this hall, which makes the ministers who were not very optimistic about him before think highly of him because of this matter.

If Hua stood in it, she was naturally satisfied.Although this King Mao is too aggressive and ambitious, he is very good at speculating on the minds of the emperor and ministers.

The emperor was even more satisfied seeing Yuyue being so humble, so he said, "Do you have any objections to this method?"

"There is no difference between ministers and others." All the ministers knelt and kowtowed to express their agreement.

"Where is the prince?" The emperor suddenly asked Qi Guang who had been standing by the side.

Qi Guang also nodded and said: "The method Yuyue proposed is indeed very good. As an elder brother, I am ashamed of myself."

"You should be ashamed." The emperor snorted coldly and turned his face away.

"Father, don't be angry. Brother Huang is also thinking about Chu Ping's future." Yuyue took a step forward at this time, seemingly defending the prince.

Ruohua couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips. This sentence sounds like a defense, but if you think about it carefully, I'm afraid it will add another reason to the prince.Others may not be able to understand the subtlety of this, but as the person sitting on the dragon chair, the reform mentioned by the crown prince is for the future of Chu Ping, not for the current emperor... the deep meaning of it... ...I am afraid that if the emperor heard this, he would be even more suspicious of the prince.

Sure enough, the emperor's expression moved, and he stood up and said:

"Since all the ministers are the same, the matter of restructuring will be handled according to King Mao's policy. From now on, all localities will be notified to recommend Han Shi students to the capital. Among them, the scheduling, transfer of money, and records are all in charge of the King Mao. The Han Shi who was elected , I will personally select 30 people to form the inner academy. Among the nominees, there must be no blood relatives who are officials in the court, no businessmen, and no one is allowed to pretend to be a replacement. Once found, I will strictly place."

"The ministers obey the order."

After seeing all the ministers saluting one after another, the emperor sat back on the dragon chair with satisfaction.Then he looked at Yuyue who was standing in front of the steps with his head bowed, and said:

"Yu'er, you have a very good plan for this restructuring, but what kind of reward do you want?"

Yuyue knelt down: "It is the duty of a son-in-law to share the worries of the father and the emperor, and I dare not ask for rewards."

"Yu'er is smart and respectful, if I don't reward her, I'd be biased."

"Then give my son a piece of jade pendant, my son can wear it on his body, so that he can always remember to share his father's worries, so that this reward is not in vain."

"Hahaha," the emperor was very happy when he heard Yuyue's words, "Then I will reward you with a jade pendant, do you like the unicorn jade pendant?"

After the emperor finished speaking, everyone couldn't help but marvel.The unicorn jade pendant is only worn by princes.Although there are several princes in Chuping at present, most of them are at the county level, and even Chu Si is only named as the king of the county.King Mao was conferred the title of prince before he reached the crown. How can such a reward not make people amazed.

"Father, son..." Yuyue kowtowed as if wanting to refuse.

"Since I promised it to you, you will continue. My Chu Ping, with you sharing my worries, the position of prince should belong to you."

The emperor's words sounded like praise, but those who participated in the party struggle and those who wanted to wait and see had different thoughts. The emperor's words put the prince in a very awkward position.The emperor praised King Mao so highly, so the crown prince...

However, when the minister looked at Qi Guang intentionally or unintentionally, he found that Qi Guang was still gentle, neither angry nor frustrated, just standing on the hall under the throne, with a smile in his eyes Watching all this with interest.However, such a gentle appearance made people feel a sense of awe, as if everything was under his control.What kind of emboldened do you have to be able to remain calm as usual under such a situation.

Ruohua was also slightly surprised when he saw Qi Guang's appearance at this time.When Qi Guang seemed to be looking at him, Ruohua hurriedly lowered his head guiltily, avoiding that gaze.For some reason, Ruohua suddenly felt that Qi Guang seemed to be different from what he thought...

However, it didn't surprise everyone for too long. The emperor directly issued an edict above the main hall: "King Mao, Chu Yuyue, is gentle and respectful. The mansion and expenses are all added according to the prince's etiquette, and all affairs in the military department are handled accordingly. The unicorn and jade pendant are rewarded to show his obedience."

"Thank you, father." Yuyue kowtowed and thanked. He did not expect that the emperor would directly confer him a prince because of the restructuring. Originally, he just wanted to severely suppress the prince, so this reward was a surprise.Yuyue squinted her eyes - that big gift will be sent to Prince Yan's Mansion after the court, this time I have to thank Shangshu Xiang.

When Ruohua heard the emperor's reward for King Mao, he looked at the reactions of the people around him from the corner of his eyes, put his hand into his sleeve, stroked the jade waist card, and thought in his heart: This situation in the court should be changed. up.

The author has something to say: I finally finished writing about the restructuring QWQ

The first volume is finally coming to an end QWQ

Ruohua and Sinian are finally getting closer QWQ

Mint writing and reforming this part is almost crying out QWQ

Because it is superficial, and it is true that the various official ranks and the departmental structure used were not clearly written before, so this part can only be repaired and repaired.

There may still be many conflicts in it, and Mint will refine it later.

Don’t pay too much attention to the details about the reform when you watch it QWQ

I really made it up, I'm sorry for history, I'm sorry for the ancient emperor, I'm sorry for all the famous officials of history QWQ

☆, boat boat

After coming down, Ruohua saw that Si Nian's face was a little gloomy, so he walked a few steps forward with a guilty conscience and said:

"My lord... can I go to Lin Lang today?"

Si Nian turned his head slightly to look at him: "Are you done with the work of the Ministry of Industry?"

Ruohua saw that Si Nian didn't seem to be too different, so he was a little relieved: "Brother Lang said that he is basically done with his work."

"Then go ahead," Sinian paused, "I'm going home first today."

Ruohua got Si Nian's permission and ran away in no time.I was afraid that Si Nian would ask him about King Mao's affairs today. For some reason, after getting along for a long time, as long as Si Nian stared at him, Ruohua felt guilty for lying.

Ruohua caught up with Lin Lang who was about to leave the palace: "Brother Lang, let's go to the teahouse today."

Seeing that it was Ruohua chasing after Lin Lang, he was slightly taken aback, but soon said cheerfully: "Okay, I was late when I got busy a few days ago, and I just went to take a break with you today."

"Brother Lang, do you want to go to the same place as last time?" Ruohua walked on the right side of Lin Lang.

"I won't go there anymore, I'll take you to a new place today."

Ruohua tilted his head: "Is there anything new in this capital city?"

"Hey," Lin Lang smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when you go."

After Lin Lang took Ruohua out of the palace, he didn't take a carriage, walked a long way, and plunged into a small alley.After passing through a long alley, after coming out, I saw a lake with several boats parked near the shore.

Lin Lang strode forward, and someone greeted him from a distance:

"Master Biao, you came at the right time. The lotus flowers on the lake were in full bloom in the past two days."

Ruohua looked at Lin Lang, and said with some doubts, "Master Biao?"

Lin Lang coughed a few times, took Ruohua in his arms and boarded one of the boats: "I'll explain to you later."

Ruohua didn't ask any more questions, and followed Lin Lang onto the boat.The layout of the boat is very fine, even the tea set on the wooden table is embedded with grooves to prevent things on the table from spilling when the boat shakes.And the bow of the ship has also specially made a couch, and the outer eaves of the cabin have been extended to provide shade for people to enjoy the scenery outside.It can be seen that the configuration of these boats from the hull to the inside is all specially customized, and there is such a lake not far from the imperial city, which is so quiet, it seems to be a private place.Those who can own this place must be either rich or expensive.

"Ah Hua." Entering the boat, Lin Lang sat cross-legged in front of the low table, "You are still living in Yanwang's mansion."

"En." Ruohua nodded, "The lord never asked me to leave, and it's more convenient to do things for the lord at the mansion."

"You..." Lin Lang unconsciously tugged at his cuff, hesitant to speak.

"Brother Lang wants to say what he wants to say," Ruohua chuckled, "Why do we two have to hide it?"

"Then I'll just say it straight," Lin Lang said bluntly, and he didn't hesitate much when he heard Ruohua say this, "Although King Yan didn't explicitly participate in the battle for the crown prince, everyone in the court can generally see that he is If you support the crown prince, if you have been living in his residence for a long time, you will inevitably be involved. Moreover, judging by the current situation, King Mao is in full bloom... If it is the last... I am afraid that you will not be able to escape unscathed."

Ruohua could naturally hear Lin Lang's worry, but he didn't respond directly: "Father entrusted me to Yanwang's mansion, naturally there is a reason for him. Besides, I am only doing things for the Ministry of Rites and Yanwang. Those who are self-clearing, how can they not retreat completely?"

"But others..."

"Those who believe in me will naturally believe in me, and those who don't believe me, I can't argue with it anyway," Ruohua interrupted Lin Lang, "Does Brother Lang think it is important what other people say?"

Lin Lang was blocked from speaking, and was at a loss for words for a while.

Ruohua leaned forward, pulled Lin Lang's wrist, patted the back of his hand in relief, tilted his head and said, "Brother Lang, trust me."

Lin Lang felt that his hand was being pulled, his face turned red for a moment, and he stammered, "I, I naturally, naturally believe you. You are like my own brother, how can I not believe it."

Ruohua smiled with two pointed canine teeth: "Lang Ge just trust me."

"En...en." Lin Lang replied somewhat unnaturally.

"But..." Ruohua withdrew his hand, and leaned back a little idly, "Brother Lang really thinks that King Mao will win?"

Lin Lang frowned slightly. In fact, he never participated or paid attention to party disputes.In his impression, the prince has always been very good, gentle and resourceful, but his impression of King Mao was not very good.But today Mao Wang's theory of restructuring is really admirable.If King Mao can do this in the future...it's really hard to say where this great position will belong.

"What King Mao said today is indeed a blockbuster." Lin Lang said ambiguously.

"Whether it's the crown prince or King Mao, as long as it's for the people and the court, that's good." Ruohua didn't really care about Lin Lang's answer, he just wanted to hear what happened to Lin Lang after today's incident, What would a loyal minister who does not participate in party struggles think.Now it sounds like it just fit Ruohua's thoughts.It is his purpose to let the crown prince and King Mao be evenly matched, and the ministers of the court and China waver between the two.

"Well, having such a prince is the blessing of our courtiers." Lin Lang didn't think deeply about it, and Quan Ruohua asked casually.

"Speaking of..." Ruohua thought of what the person who greeted Lin Lang before boarding the boat called Lin Lang, "Why did that person call Brother Lang the Young Master Biao just now?"

"Ah... this..." Lin Lang scratched the back of his head and said, as if a little embarrassed, "This place belongs to my uncle, but he and my aunt rarely stay in the capital, and my uncle has no brothers or sisters, so Most of his properties in Beijing and China are managed by my father."

Ruohua was slightly startled, it wasn't the high officials and nobles who could have such a place.So he continued to ask curiously:

"Is your uncle...?"

"My uncle is Fang Qiong..."

Ruohua: "..."

He has not been in this dynasty for too long, but he knows the name Fang Qiong! !After all, it can be heard almost everywhere.Fang Qiong's family business is said to be able to support half of Chuping, and it can be said that it is incomparably rich.But such a person, almost few people have actually seen him, only know that he does not have any concubines, only a beautiful wife, and the two are very affectionate.Moreover, this wealthy businessman does not collude with the officials, and will donate a large sum of money to the victims every year. In some places, the people even regard him as a living Bodhisattva.As a merchant, he is definitely a legend.Such a person turned out to be Lin Lang's uncle? !Why has it never been mentioned?

"Very few people know about this," Lin Lang explained hastily, "It is said that my aunt was not well received by my mother's family since she was a child, and only my mother was on good terms with her. Later, my aunt was sent to a remote place In the temple, my mother secretly helped for a long time. After the ancestral temple fire, my aunt disappeared. Everyone thought she was dead, and my mother was also sad for a long time. But after a while, my mother received a letter from my aunt. Knowing that she escaped in the fire, and didn’t want to go back to her mother’s house. After that, my mother didn’t see her for many years, but there were regular letters. When we met again, my aunt said that she wanted to marry my uncle, and the two of them planned to I went to roam around, so I entrusted us to take care of some of the family business. I was still young at the time, so I only met my uncle and aunt from a distance. Ruohua, you just need to know about this, and don’t talk to others said."

"I know, Brother Lang, don't worry." Ruohua smiled, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter what the era, these anecdotes are never missing.He just listens to these things as a joke, so naturally he won't talk nonsense to others.And even though Lin Lang's character is too upright, in his heart he has already subconsciously considered Lin Lang as a slightly closer person. If too many people know about this matter, the Lin family will definitely be targeted.With such a good shield, Ruohua still doesn't want anything to happen to him.

"Ah Hua, Tianqi Festival will be in two days, and it's time for Xiumu. Is there any place you want to go?" Lin Lang looked at Ruohua's beautiful smiling face and asked tentatively.

If we talk about the busiest day in July, it’s the Qi Festival. There is no curfew in the city that day, and the girls don’t have to guard the gate on that day. They will also tie colorful ropes and long hair plates together, carry an embroidered bag in their hands, and walk to the streets and trestle bridges when the lights first come on, praying for some women's thoughts.And it is said that on that day, the woman went to the bridge or the promenade where the sky lantern was hung to take down a lantern. If someone came to share the lantern on the way back, the two of them would have a happy life.

However, although this festival existed in the Xia Yuan Dynasty, it was not as grand as it was then.After all, at that time, women must not show their faces outside.So in Ruohua's perception, on Tianqi Festival, ordinary people cook a pot of red bean and red date porridge for their daughter.If there is a daughter in the family who has reached the age of marriage but has not yet married, then hang a lamp at the door to show that interested men can come to propose marriage.Ruohua did not have a royal sister in her previous life, so no one in the palace celebrates this festival.So this festival is even more boring for Ruohua.

Ruohua thought that Chuping's Tianqi Festival was nothing more than this, so even if Lin Lang mentioned it, he didn't feel much about it.

So Ruohua said lazily: "It's a rare holiday, of course I have a good rest, and I don't plan to go out for a walk."

After Lin Lang heard this, he smiled sarcastically, and said with some disappointment: "That's okay... You've never been in good health, you should rest more."

When the boat reached the middle of the lake, Ruohua opened the bamboo curtain and looked out. There were large lotus flowers standing on the water. Although it was hot and dry in July, it felt cool among the lotus clusters on the water.The sun shines down, the water surface has a little golden light, and the ripples caused by the oars passing by the boat are slightly rippling with the lotus.It is really a five-inch lotus flower with lotus leaves, and the waves do not hinder the scenery of the painting boat.

Ruohua took a sip of tea, leaned against the edge of the window frame of the boat, and breathed a sigh of relief: Such a summer day is really like a dream.

The author has something to say: Keke——Originally, Mint really planned to end the first volume at word 8w

But because this paragraph is really important, I added some plots

then……

The first volume should have two or three chapters to finish

Mint will work hard to be more Wenda~

☆, manuscript

But at this time, not long after Si Nian returned to the mansion, he heard a report from Eleven saying that people from Mao Wang's mansion asked to see him.

"Prince Mao's Mansion?" Si Nian frowned, "Who is here?"

"Going back to the prince, it seems that he is just a servant in his clothes."

"What are you doing?"

"Say yes... to give a thank you gift..."

"Thank you?" Si Nian stared at Eleven.

"Yes..." Eleven lowered her head.

"Could it be for Xiang Ruohua?" Si Nian pressed his hand on the table so hard that it turned white.

"The people who came said that King Mao thanked Mr. Xiang..."

Si Nian stood up before Eleven finished speaking.Eleven hurriedly took a step back and knelt on the ground.

After a while, Si Nian turned his back to Eleven and said, "Take the thank you gift and put it in my warehouse. Keep this matter secret, and no one is allowed to mention it to Xiang Ruohua."

"Yes, my lord." Eleven took his order and went out.

With his hands behind his back, Si Nian paced around the room a few times, and suddenly saw the historical chatter that Ruohua sent back in the morning, so he stood still.

"Come here, go to the palace to report that I want to enter the library."

Si Nian entered the palace and went straight to Zangshu Pavilion. The envoy in charge of Zangshu Pavilion saw him and bowed for a while: "I have seen King Yan."

"Are there any unedited manuscripts from the ancient dynasty in Zangshu Pavilion?"

"Returning to the prince, there are still some from the Weiying, Xia Yuan, and Zhou dynasties, because they are too scattered or damaged, so they are just piled up according to the dynasties. The ones from a long time ago are gone because they are too old. "

"Where is it stacked?"

"Under the Zangshu Pavilion."

"okay, I get it."

Si Nian entered the Library Pavilion and went straight underground.I found the shelf with Xia Yuan's wooden sign hanging on it, lit a lamp, and just stood there looking through it one by one.

As the decades passed, these were again unedited fragmentary manuscripts.Many were eaten away by insects or water, and the writing was very blurred.However, when Si Nian turned over a few manuscripts, he suddenly gripped them tightly - he could see the handwriting on these manuscripts almost every day.

Si Nian flipped through these manuscripts, picked out the ones with the same handwriting, then flattened them carefully, and took them to the desk to read them carefully.Although the damage was serious, even the edges were burnt, and the content of the manuscript was very scattered, as if it was drawn on a whim.With the fairly clear handwriting, it is possible to guess the content.

On one of them, the word "reform" was drawn in a cinnabar circle, and I continued to look back... until the end of the paper, there was a small trace of a private seal, but the mimeograph was already very smudged.Si Nian picked up the paper, facing the candlelight, squinted his eyes and discerned for a long time.it seems that--

Si Nian's hands trembled, the edges of the paper were crumpled, and he finished reading the rest with his mouth pursed.Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and sighed softly: "It turned out to be like this..."

Si Nian took the manuscripts out, and went out of the Zangshu Pavilion to ask the envoy:

"Has anyone read these manuscripts?"

The official envoy looked at it and said, "No. The handwriting on these manuscripts is too vague, and they have been kept in the basement since the library was built."

"Brother Huang has never seen it?"

The envoy smiled lightly: "How dare you show the emperor these tattered things."

"Then if I take these away—"

"My lord, of course you can take it away." The envoy nodded.

Si Nian carefully put the manuscripts into the front of his front, turned on his horse, and frowned all the way.If his guess is right... But this matter is too shocking.

Riding to the gate of the palace, I happened to see Ruohua who bought cakes from somewhere and ate them while walking slowly from not far away.Seeing him, he stuffed all the food into his mouth in one gulp, and said vaguely: "Hi, my lord."

Si Nian wondered whether to laugh or cry, why every time I look like a villain who fights with children for food.but--

Seeing such a reaction, most of Si Nian's heaviness, hesitation, and shock just now dissipated: Yes, this person is now a half-grown boy, no matter what, he is Xiang Ruohua now, and it is only Xiang Ruohua.

So Si Nian dismounted, looked at Ruohua, opened his mouth and said, "Let's have dinner together tonight."

As expected, the man smiled and narrowed his eyes, unabashedly delighted.

Si Nian turned his head slightly, looked at the three big characters "Yanwangfu" on the gate, and secretly raised the corners of his mouth.

Si Nian returned to the study, took out the manuscript in the front of the front, read it again carefully, then took out the brocade wrapping thread and sewing needles, used a file to grind off the rough edges and unevenness of the pages, and took out two more Sheets of heavy greased paper were cut to the same size, placed on the front and bottom, and carefully held together with a sharpened sewing needle.

After that, Si Nian flipped through the few historians' miscellaneous talks at hand, and couldn't help chuckling when he saw a few pages in them.Those few pages were obviously read and re-read, and the margins of the pages were all rolled up, and there were light fingernail scratches on some of the miscellaneous comments, which showed the anger and dissatisfaction of the readers.Imagine that scene, that man is like a lion cub with fried fur.

Si Nian put down the book, got up and removed a few books on the shelf, opened a hidden compartment, and put the manuscript in it.After closing the hidden compartment, I found a few more books on the customs of the past dynasties on the bookshelf, and turned to the Xia Yuan section to read.

When Si Nian turned to one of the pages, the corners of his lips curled up—Tianqi Festival?This is a good idea.

At dinner, Si Nian and Ruo Hua sat opposite each other.Si Nian seemed to talk about it unintentionally: "Your younger sister has also reached the age to leave the court this year, and Tianqi Festival will be in two days. Do you want to send a letter back to ask?"

Ruohua hadn't swallowed what was in his mouth, so he tilted his head and pretended to think: In order not to reveal too much, he had already carefully understood the Xiang family's affairs.

His mother was the wife of the main house, and his sister was born to a concubine, who was born only a few days younger than him, so they are both 16 years old this year.But even though it was born by a concubine, that concubine passed away very early due to illness. His sister Xiang Zhenzhen was brought up with him by Mrs. Xiang since she was a child, and it is said that Xiang Zhenzhen is well-behaved, sensible and intelligent. , in some respects he is even better than his elder brother, so he is quite favored.

But this younger sister has never been proud of being spoiled, and the owner of my body used to dote on this younger sister very much, so since it is Tianqi Festival, it seems that I should pay more attention to it.

"I haven't seen Zhenzhen in the next year, and I haven't celebrated her birthday with her. I have to go to court in the next few days, and I won't be able to go back to Tingzhou. If I don't send a letter back, this girl may want to read Kill me." Although Ruohua didn't have a royal sister in his last life, perhaps what he heard and felt in this life is quite different, and he actually has a little more love for this sister he has never met, so he half He joked with Sinian half-truthfully.

"Well, as an elder brother, you naturally need to care more about your siblings," Si Nian added a mouthful of food, and said calmly, "You can ask someone to send a red bean and date back, and choose a hanging lamp yourself. "

What Si Nian said were all the customs of Tianqi Festival in Xia Yuan that he read from the book in the afternoon, but these customs have no longer prevailed in Chuping these years.Few people know.

"It's still the prince who thinks well." Ruohua doubted him, squinted his eyes and smiled, "Then I will ask someone to bring the things back to Tingzhou tomorrow."

Hearing that Ruohua deserved to be so straightforward, Si Nian's hands paused slightly, but he quickly returned to normal, hummed in a low voice, and said nothing else.

After a while, the two of them had almost finished their dinner, Si Nian wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, raised his eyes and asked Ruohua:

"The day of Tianqi Festival is Xiu Mu, what other arrangements do you have?"

Ruohua was stunned for a moment, why did you come to ask him about Tianqi Festival today, but he swallowed back his doubts and answered honestly:

"not at all."

"Then follow me to a place the next night." Si Nian got up and said casually.

"Ah?" Ruohua was slightly stunned, it was definitely not an official business at night, why did he choose to go out on that day.

"Well, the dinner is served outside." Si Nian had no chance for Ke Ruohua to refuse, so he arranged directly.

Hearing this, Ruohua's dissatisfaction is much less. Have dinner outside?Could it be that the prince is kind enough to take me to improve the food again?Tsk tsk tsk, isn't this person pretty good?

Ruohua secretly glanced at Sinian who had already walked to the door, and found it much pleasing to the eye.
