Jade of Rebirth

On the sixth day of May, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, King Zhao Yuanheng and his concubine moved into their new residence, and officially moved from the palace to King Zhao's Mansion to set up their own house.On the day of housewarming, naturally many people came to congratulate him. Now that King Jing is detained, a major force among the princes has arrived, and since King Zhao regained the ability to speak, his status has risen even more. Even King Ning, there is also a faint backward trend.

Civil and military officials are all human beings. The so-called officialdom does not make unnecessary enemies. Although King Zhao doesn't know what to do in the future, but now he is a celebrity in the imperial court, so naturally he should be held in good stead.Therefore, even though it was a housewarming day, the congratulatory gifts sent by the officials were more and more precious than the day when Yuan Heng and Yu Li got married, and they almost entered Zhao Wang's mansion like flowing water.

East Palace.

Prince Yuan Chen was sitting under the Ditang tree in the yard, a game of chess was being played on the stone table, and the man in green clothes opposite him frowned, looking thoughtful.Yuan Chen's beautiful and haughty Danfeng eyes were slightly closed, and he looked at the young man opposite, with a thin smile on his vermilion lips.

After a while, the man on the opposite side finally fell down.

Yuan Chen glanced at the position where the kid was, then raised his head to look at the young man, and said with a smile: "It seems that Jun Qi is really not good at chess."

Pei Junqi heard the words and glanced at the chess game. Although he didn't know where he made a mistake, he knew that he would lose in the end, so he lowered his head slightly and said, "His Royal Highness is so wise, how can a humble minister be able to defeat him."

Yuan Chen raised his lips, like a low laugh, playing with the sunspot with his slender fingertips, his expression a little playful: "The prince has already given you a son, is it possible that I will let you have another son?" ?” As she spoke, she actually grabbed Pei Junqi's hand and placed the child between her fingertips in his palm, and when she left, she didn't know whether it was intentional or not, she gently scratched his palm.

Pei Jun was shocked, he didn't dare to look up at the prince's expression, he quickly got up and knelt aside to plead guilty: "It's my humble servant who didn't make the prince enjoy the game, please forgive me."

With a smile on the corner of Yuan Chen's lips, he stared deeply at him: "You are all like this, you dare not beat me, but you want me to have the fun of playing chess...How can you do such a thing?"

As he said that, he looked at the chess game that was about to win, stretched out his hand to mess it up, and sighed: "Today, the Prince Zhao's Mansion in the east of the city was very lively. And outstanding, you can be the crown prince..."

When Pei Junqi heard him say such taboo words, he became more arrogant and didn't dare to say it, and kept his head down in silence.

Yuan Chen looked at him again, and said with a smile, "Jun Qi, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, please don't underestimate yourself. Since ancient times, the elders will not be established, and the sons will not be established. This cannot be changed forever." Pei Junqi lowered his head and said, with a layer of cold sweat on his back.

Yuan Chen laughed as if he was very satisfied, and said, "That's right." As he spoke, he looked up at the golden Ditang flowers, and said, "'Chang Di's flower, Ebu Wei. Fan Today’s people are nothing like brothers.” When Taizu established the East Palace, he ordered people to plant Ditang flowers in the courtyard of the East Palace, because Ditang symbolizes brotherly love. He hoped that each generation of princes in the East Palace would love brothers and ascend to the throne. In the end, don't kill the foot...But who knows, since Taizong, the first Donggong of each dynasty has no good end, sick and dead, crazy crazy, or deposed, or killed unjustly, all of this , Is it all a coincidence?"

Once he becomes the East Palace, how many princes would like to kill him with their own hands to replace him?How many concubines and beauties are trying their best to plot against him day and night?

Hearing his sigh, Pei Junqi calmed down a little, and couldn't help raising his head to look at him. He saw that his usual proud and gloomy face was a little less hostile and a little more lonely. The face is actually a bit charming.

He suddenly remembered a certain day, a certain place, that young man said to him with a half-smile in his eyes:

"The prince likes men. He has always had his eyes high above his head, and he never disdains to associate with any poor family. But why does he only have green eyes on you? Do you know? Because he likes you."

"A poor family is a poor family. Even if you are full of talent in poetry and writing, you can't beat the power of others. Pei Junqi, don't you understand this truth after you have been in the capital for so long?"

"You go to the prince's side to be his male favourite. Whether you follow or not, the prince has many ways to deal with you. If you promise me to do things for me, after the prince loses power, I will promise you glory Fugui, allow you to wear a scarlet robe, and allow you everything you want, how about it?"

……

"Jun Qi, what are you thinking?"

Pei Junqi suddenly woke up from his own thoughts, looked at the prince's smiling face, which was different from the gloomy and cold ones in the past, he was stunned, then lowered his head, and said: "Although your highness is the first East Palace, but the prince is blessed It has a deep reputation and a solid position, and it will never repeat the same mistakes.”

Yuan Chen smiled when he heard the words: "You can talk a lot more than when I first saw you. After a few days in the New Hanlin Academy, have you grown up?"

The prince is 26 years old, and Pei Junqi is 24 years old, only two years older than him, so it seems like he is joking about him.Pei Junqi couldn't calm down, and said: "It's all thanks to His Highness's guidance."

The smile on Yuan Chen's lips deepened, he stood up and said, "Get up, you have been kneeling for a long time, come on, follow me, I have something to teach you."

Pei Junqi was taken aback for a moment, and his body suddenly trembled imperceptibly.

"Why, Jun Qi, you don't want to come?" The prince walked halfway, turned around and called him, the smile in his eyes had turned into a slight coldness.

Pei Junqi bowed his head and got up: "I obey." After saying that, he buried his head and followed.

……

The mansion was busy all day, but Yuli sat there all day... He was pregnant, so Yuan Heng refused to let him go out to receive guests, of course, he himself didn't want to go, he was afraid that something might happen to the child in his womb, After all, he is a man, so he should be more careful than a woman.Therefore, he hid in his room that day, and Yuan Heng also declared that he was unwell, so it was inconvenient for him to come out to see guests.

However, Wen Yuxue and Feng Mingge came to accompany him for a long time. Feng Feiyuan and Feng Mingge had just finished negotiating the trade agreement with Daqi, and planned to stay for a few days before leaving, so Feng Feiyuan also came. Wen Yuxue was just saying that she was going out to find something to eat, so she ran out excitedly, and bumped into Feng Feiyuan. Feng Feiyuan was gentle, so she hurriedly reached out to help him, but Wen Yuxue who didn't see clearly opened her , feeling embarrassed, saw Wen Yuxue raised her head, both of them were taken aback for a moment, then blushed, apologized to each other for a long time, and then missed each other and left.

At that time, Yu Li just came out and wanted to call Wen Yuxue to stop, so she saw all this scene before her eyes, turned around and came back with a smile.Said to Feng Mingge who was happily smashing walnuts to eat: "Your fifth brother's marriage has arrived."

When Feng Mingge heard it, he almost hit his hand, and raised his head in surprise: "Did he meet Axue who just ran out?"

Yu Li smiled and patted his forehead: "Why are you so smart?"

"I said a long time ago that I wanted to introduce Axue to him as a friend, and he insisted on saying no, you see, there is a saying in our heavenly priests that says 'When the wind and sand come, you can't escape, and when the fate comes, you can't escape', you say yes Didn't you just answer this sentence?" He was talking when Feng Feiyuan came in and said:

"What did you say?"

Yu Li and Feng Mingge looked at each other, and said in unison: "Say, 'When the wind and sand come, you can't escape, and when the fate comes, you can't escape'."

An embarrassing smile appeared on Feng Feiyuan's handsome face immediately, and said: "You saw it."

"I see, you two have been apologizing to each other for so long, who still can't see?" Yu Li said, Feng Mingge burst out laughing:

"Fifth brother, you also have today!"
