When Zhu Jue revealed Emperor Yanchang's decision to the fourth princess, she was picking flowers in the garden to make rouge with a basket. Hearing this, she blinked, her hands kept moving, she pinched a jasmine flower, and smiled slightly : "Thank you, Eldest Sister, for letting me know."

Then he stroked the jasmine flower in his hand, inserted it into his hair, and said to Zhu Jue, "Does it look good?"

Zhu Jue felt a chill inexplicably, and frowned.

Seeing his expression, the fourth princess burst out laughing suddenly. She had inherited the beauty of the concubine Xiang, with bright and delicate features. This smile was particularly sweet, which perfectly interpreted the image of a little princess who was raised in a deep boudoir and knew nothing about the world.

"Elder Sister Huang thinks I'm cruel?"

As soon as her eyes changed, that sweet smile became a bit ironic.

"Elder Sister Huang has been favored so much since she was a child, even Second Sister Huang, the first princess, can't compare with you, let alone me?"

"Fortunately, the second sister and the third sister have biological mothers who are considerate of them, especially the second sister and the crown prince to support her. Even the sixth sister is regarded as a treasure by the virtuous concubine and the fourth brother, but what about me?"

"My mother and concubine are all attached to my father, father, heh, I don't want to sacrifice my life for my mother's family like Aunt Ankang, is there something wrong?"

She said it aloud, obviously harboring deep grievances.

"There's me too." Zhu Jue didn't know that looking at the lively and cheerful fourth princess had such a lot of resentment in his heart, he sighed deeply, "I once said, whether it's you or the third princess Royal sister, or second imperial sister, I treat both of you equally, and treat you as my own sisters, if you need my help, just ask, if you don't want to, you can tell me, and I will help you solve it."

He has never been good at guessing other people's minds, and he has no way to pay attention to what each princess is thinking all the time, but he has clearly talked to them openly and honestly, making it difficult for them to find him, but now it seems that it is obvious They only took his words as politeness.

Zhu Jue was a little disappointed, because he thought too well. Of course, he can understand the environment, but understanding does not mean agreeing.

Now he can't say what he thinks about the fourth princess. When he realized the truth, he was shocked and puzzled, and also worried and jealous. The fear was because it was unexpected. If the third princess did this, he might still It won't be too shocking, after all, with the third princess's reticent and calm personality, doing such a thing can be done smoothly.

But the fourth princess is different. She has always been a arrogant, domineering and outspoken character. Among the several princesses, the one Zhu Jue is closest to is neither the second nor the third princess, but him.

After all, the second princess still has her pride in being the first daughter and her uneasiness for the eldest princess. The third princess has never been silent, making it hard to guess. The sixth princess is young and only joined in these two years. The princess is more airy than the second princess, and more lively and cheerful than the third princess. He naturally has more contact with the fourth princess after coming and going.

That's why he would be shocked and fearful now that the human settings were subverted.

The fourth princess is only 12 years old, it is a bit scary to have such scheming methods, and what is more important is not the scheming methods, but the idea that she can wantonly destroy other people's lives for her own benefit.

Because she didn't want to marry Yue Wenyan, she planned to kill him without saying anything, and even dragged two innocent people as backs. Song Yun was still alive, but when this happened, most of her life was ruined.

This time it was Yue Wenyan, but next time, if he blocked her way, would he plan to kill him?

The fourth princess looked shocked, as if she didn't expect him to say that, or that he was really sincere and not pretending to be polite, her lips moved a few times, she turned her head and pursed her lips and said nothing.

Zhu Jue sighed in his heart, turned around and left.

In the end, according to Emperor Yanchang's wishes, it was determined that the murderer was Song Yun's personal maid Ruhua.

The Hu family and the Yue family recognized the result, and quickly handled the funeral. Hu Rong was just one of the many daughters of Hou Chengyi, and Yue Dai also had five legitimate sons. At the same age, they were sent to the capital.

On the contrary, Hu Chongxin was very sad, and ran to the Song family to make a big fuss. After all, no matter how sincere Hou had daughters, only Hu Rong was his direct sister.

Chen Yanwan couldn't help complaining when she entered Yuxi Garden later, it was obvious that she had a great opinion of Hu Rong, she felt that she was used to putting on airs and was extremely hypocritical, so Hu Chongxin regarded her as a treasure, and she deserved it when she died.

Because of what the fourth princess said that day, Zhu Jue was in a bad mood, so he simply went back to the imperial city to find Zhou Ting.

He and Zhou Ting had agreed at the beginning that if they wanted to meet in the future, they would send someone to pass a message and make an appointment to meet in Guilinju. Guilinju is equivalent to a modern high-end private restaurant. Not many people know about it, and not many people can go in. .

It is one of Zhou Ting's private properties.

Gui Lin lived in the south of the city, and it took at least two hours for the carriage to go all the way from Yuxi Garden. Zhou Ting was already waiting inside when Zhu Jue arrived.

The carriage entered the courtyard directly from the side door. The courtyard is very elegantly furnished. The bamboo forest is green, washing away the sweltering summer heat. Next to the bamboo forest is a pond with water lilies in bloom. Next to the pond is a tall sycamore tree. Stone table and bench.

Zhou Ting was sitting on the stone bench having a drink, when he saw him come in and put down his glass, he smiled slightly: "Come and sit."

Zhu Jue was so bored all the way in the carriage, he went up to pick up the empty wine glass and poured it dry. The wine had probably been chilled beforehand, so not only did it not burn in the mouth, but it was icy cold.

Zhou Ting watched him finish his drink with a smile, and handed him a neatly folded handkerchief.

Zhu Jue was upset, so he took it and wiped his mouth casually, then cracklingly told about the fourth princess: "...Did this happen in the previous life?"

Zhou Teng comforted him first, and then said: "Yes, but what happened at that time was not Hu Rong and Yue Wenyan, but Yue Wenyan and Song Yun."

"Why?" Zhu Jue was curious.

"Why don't you ask me why I didn't prevent this from happening?" Zhou Ting didn't answer, but asked him instead.

you still need to ask?Zhu Jue gave him a contemptuous look.

If he can stop it, of course he can stop it. If he doesn't stop it, there must be his intentions. No one stipulates that he must be the savior after rebirth. If he is sick or disaster, he must be saved. Then why don't you be too busy.

For those who are acquainted, such as Princess Ankang, it is reasonable to help, but for those who do not know each other, it is normal not to help.

Zhou Ting was not angry at his contempt, instead he stroked his head with a smile, and narrated the events of his previous life.

In Zhou Ting's previous life, this incident ended up causing a lot of trouble, and the subsequent impact was extremely far-reaching.

In the previous life, this matter was also initiated by the fourth prince. Sincerity Hou's mansion was disliked by the noble concubine because Hu Chongxin had served as the second prince's companion, and later he simply took refuge in the imperial concubine Ling. The bond was that Hu Rong and her nephew had engaged in a marriage. .

The fourth princess really wanted to get rid of Yue Wenyan and not marry him, but she didn't expect that what happened later happened to fulfill the party of the noble concubine Ling.

It was Song Yun who died on the spot. Yue Wenyan was fatal. The knife was not as accurate as this time, but it was a little bit off. At that time, he saved his life. However, he died in a dark alley two months after the incident. The cause of death was related to Song Yun is exactly the same.

The Yue family decided that it was the Song family's revenge, and someone came out to testify that it was Song Junde who saw it with his own eyes. What's more, they found evidence proving Song Junde's identity at the scene.

Song Junde is a well-known princeling, at that time Emperor Yanchang was already afraid of the prince, and the prince dared not recruit troops to form a party. Song Junde was the prince's companion, so there is no need to be jealous, so he was in charge of all the affairs of the prince's east palace.

The prince also has brotherhood towards Song Junde, so naturally he can't just sit idly by, but the witnesses and material evidences are convincing, he has no power to stop him, and finally he can only save his life and watch him exile in Liaodong.

Afterwards, the Song family and the Yue family became enemies. Seeing that he had offended the crown prince, Yue Dai simply let the concubine Xiang and the fourth princess seek refuge with Concubine Ling. Due to the influence of the previous murder, Hu Rong was sent away like Song Yun today. The marriage of the noble concubine's nephew was over, and later changed to the fourth princess.

Yue Dai is still very capable, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the position of governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi for several years. Emperor Yanchang transferred him back and forth in the past few years, and finally fell back to this position.

Before Zhou Jue was reborn, Yue Dai had been transferred back to Beijing, and served as Minister of the Ministry of War and a bachelor of the Wuyingdian University, and became a great help to Concubine Ling.

After Zhu Jue heard it, he didn't know how to complain. It seemed that it wasn't the butterfly effect between him and Zhou Ting, but the problem of the fourth princess. He had thought about whether it was because of the addition of him that the four princesses were so excited. It seems that he was thinking too much when such a thing happened.

"The fourth princess has such a nature, so you don't have to worry about it." Seeing his frustrated face, Zhou Jue put his hand on his shoulder and patted him lightly twice, "She may not appreciate your kindness. The second princess asked you to help me before." She was also rejected by her."

The second princess also mentioned it?Zhu Jue frowned. In this way, not only did the fourth princess not accept the kindness of the second princess, but she also turned to Concubine Ling in the end.

"Okay, don't think too much about it, just keep in touch with her less in the future." Zhou Ting's smile was restrained, and his expression was light, "You asked me to come to ask me about these things?"

Zhu Jue inexplicably heard a hint of grievance from the last sentence.

He squinted at Zhou Ting, his expression was really not very good, he coughed lightly and said, "Of course not, the main reason is to see you, I haven't seen you for nearly two months, I still miss you."

After all, they are still modern people at heart, so they can coax people to subconsciously be straightforward.

Seeing that Zhou Ting's complexion improved after he finished speaking, his sharp eyes immediately softened, and he stared at him with a slight smile, which made Zhu Jue's heart tighten, his deep voice softened, with a faint breath , especially provocative: "I miss you too."

Zhu Jue was immediately taken aback. This kind of magnetic subwoofer was his dream, and he could be a voice actor. It was okay when he was speaking upright, but this kind of soft breathy voice is really terrible!

He felt hot for no reason, and cleared his throat vigorously: "Then what, your yard is really good, and you can enjoy it. I didn't expect that the boss behind Gui Linju is actually you."

Zhou Ting accepted it as soon as he saw it, and said along his topic: "This Guilin House was originally the residence of a prince in the previous dynasty. In this dynasty, he was given several times to important ministers as mansions, but the house was confiscated one after another. The geomantic omen of this place is not good, and it gradually fell into disrepair, and then it fell into the hands of my father, who is an elegant man, and he renovated the garden and turned it into a private restaurant. After his accident, the eldest lady couldn't take care of it, and closed it for a period of time. Later, I took over. reopened."

I see.Zhu Jue looked around the courtyard: "Is this courtyard famous?"

"Xiangyixuan." Zhou Ting's eyes fell on the lush green bamboo, "This clump of green bamboo was planted by my father himself back then."

"Xiangyixuan." Zhu Jue murmured softly, "It's the day when the lead powder is exposed, and the green jade branches are shaken by the wind. Yiyi is like a gentleman, and there is no place that is not suitable." One can imagine what kind of gentleman Zhou Shizi was back then.

Listening to what Zhou Ting said inside and outside, he has a good impression of this nominal father who has never met before. He calls the nominal mother both Da Furen. Comparing the two, the closeness and distance are clear at a glance.

Zhou Ting turned back to look at him when he heard the words, with approval in his eyes: "It is from this poem." He turned his head to look at the attic behind him, "It is also my father's favorite poem, and there is still a poem written by him in the house. pen and ink."

Zhu Jue got up and expressed curiosity to see it.

The first floor of the attic is mainly the kitchen, and the dining room is arranged upstairs. Zhou Shizi's calligraphy is hung in the main hall. It is obvious that his attainments are not shallow, the pen is strong, the fonts are rich, and the whole poem is completed in one go, completely free and easy, and it can be seen that he was in a very good mood when writing this word.

Zhu Jue practiced Feibai. Taizu admired Tang Taizong, learned Feibai well, and it was effective. Gaozu and other princes and princesses were also good at Feibai. Over time, it was a bit of royal imperial use. When Emperor Yanchang was practicing calligraphy, he also learned Feibai. In recent years, I have gradually developed my own hobbies and practiced cursive calligraphy, even though Zhu Jue felt that he was drawing talismans.

"You also like running books?"

The Great Yin Memorial stipulates the use of regular script, regardless of whether the writing is good or bad, this font is unified. He remembered that he had seen Zhou Ting's memorial, and his handwriting did not leave a deep impression on him.

"No, I'm better at official script." Zhou Ting took him to the study on one side, where a brand new rice paper was just spread out on the desk, and he dipped his pen in ink, "Grandfather loved official script, I was taught by him when I was young, and followed Learned official script."

He turned his wrist lightly, and the word "Hebi" appeared on the rice paper.

After finishing writing, she looked at Zhu Jue with a smile, handed him the pen, moved out of the seat, motioned for him to come, and Shi Shiran stood beside him to grind ink for him.

Zhu Jue raised his eyebrows, took it and wrote the word "Wuxia" on the back, and after looking at it together, he found that it was not interesting, but although the font was different, his handwriting was obviously much inferior to Zhou Ting's, After all, Zhou Teng was a solid ancient man, and he was reborn once. He has only practiced calligraphy for a few years, so naturally he cannot compare.

Fortunately, he is thick-skinned enough to pretend not to see it.

Zhou Ting didn't care, but liked it very much. He smiled and said that he would frame it for collection.
