Chang'an Youth Tour

When the princess left the banquet, it was actually not too late.

Few people know that the East Palace was not what it is now ten years ago.Most of the front palace was built later, only Lingbo Lake and Sihong Hall existed in the past, and the tall building to the east of Mingtai Hall can only be called a small building now, because the palace is towering and the cornices have blocked half of the area. The body of the building, but when you climb to the top of the building, you can still see the weeping willows by the Lingbo Lake and the bright moon in the sky from the railing.

Ye Xuanji should have guessed it when she went upstairs, because there were a few servants waiting downstairs respectfully, but she was a little absent-minded recently, and didn't stop until she saw the back beside the railing.

His Royal Highness is upstairs.

He seemed to be standing on the edge of the railing to admire the moon, or he seemed to simply want to see what it would be like to overlook the East Palace from upstairs.Hearing her coming, he turned around slowly, but he didn't need to turn his head to guess who it was. At this time, only the two of them would come to this building.

Ye Xuanji has always been arrogant, the number one official in Lingyan Pavilion, a noble lady, hidden under her seemingly gentle appearance is the same arrogance as her ancestor Ye Shen.What Xiao Jingyan said in Sihongtang before was enough for her to hold grudges for many years, otherwise she wouldn't have stopped at the stairs.The night wind was very cold, and neither of them spoke.

"Does Your Highness still want to teach me the Ye family's ancestors tonight?" She asked lightly.

Xiao Jingyan smiled.

He said: "The Ye family's ancestral training has nothing to do with me."

Ye Xuanji was not surprised, but she was absolutely unwilling to show it, she just pursed her lips indifferently.She is not Linglong, she can understand the meaning of this sentence.He is the future of the country, and he will soon become the master of the world. All the surnames in the world are just his subjects, and the common people can be summed up in one word.If there are exceptions, it won't be someone with the surname Ye in the future.

"Oh? You let go of that person before he came to the capital?" Ye Xuanji said lightly.

The Ye family has always held grudges. Back then, Ye Shen would rather die outside than return to Beijing to plead guilty.The reason why they can still retain a gentle and springlike image in the legendary stories is mostly due to their tough temper, which is hidden in the needles, and only those who can listen to sarcasm can understand it.Just like now, what she actually meant was that you let go because that person didn't come to the capital, right?

Perhaps because of this small building, His Royal Highness was not angry, but replied indifferently: "Maybe I should go to the hunting ground and ride a horse like you."

As soon as he said this, Ye Xuanji's eyes lit up instantly, almost murderous.No wonder Yun Lan has always wanted to cooperate with her, almost adored her, sometimes she is like the leopard that the Nanzhao Kingdom paid tribute to, most of the time she is as gentle as a cat, but she doesn't show her hunter side.It is precisely this aspect that Yun Lan is reluctant to part with. Although the East Palace is full of talents, most of them are righteous talents, even after Rong Hao broke the precept, he still seems too kind.

In a sense, she and Xiao Jingyan actually have similarities.So she is also very clear that people like them don't depend on the outside world when they like someone or give up someone.Her remark about not going back to the capital was actually a heartbreaking remark.Probably long ago, Xiao Jingyan had let go.

She has seen Yan Junyu, the huge palace, with hundreds of companions, only he is the closest person to Ao Ji, this is enough to explain everything.

Perhaps because of this reason, the two of them had a truce for a while. This was a rare quiet time for them. The night wind was extremely cold, making the shadows of the trees downstairs sway. There are also poems and singing harmony.The Holy Majesty appointed many old ministers as companions, just to make the scene lively and beautiful, and Ye Heng naturally would not feel that it was exceeding the rules.

"Are they writing poetry?"

"The Holy Majesty bestowed the throwing pot and cup, so naturally she wanted to compose poetry." Ye Xuanji said, she knew her father clearly, since the Holy Majesty encouraged her, even if she didn't want to compose poetry, she still had to make a collection of chants and poems.Naturally, she left the table because she was too lazy to read on.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew up in the night, blowing through the curtains upstairs, and the maidservant who passed the dishes downstairs heard an exclamation. Both of them were wearing noble Zhai Qing gowns, and they felt chills when the wind blew.

"The Son of Heaven will give you a spring banquet in the Dragon Tower, and Furong Tuandian will try on the crown clothes." Xiao Jingyan said suddenly.

Ye Xuanji didn't speak, but she remembered the poem, and said softly: "The water is cool, so you can sit facing west and teach Xiao Wang the scriptures."

It's not a good poem, but both of them fell silent for a while after reading it.Recently, the scholars in Beijing have been making a lot of noise, singing harmonious poems, and sometimes there are amazing works, Ye Xuanji has also seen them.In fact, nowadays literati are too narrow-minded, and regard poetry as their greatest talent. In fact, poetry is a last-minute skill, but it is just a new trick of rhetoric.Lao Ye Xiang is not good at poetry, which does not prevent him from bringing peace and prosperity to Dazhou for 30 years.

People in the world often pass on Ye Xiang as a lifeless old scholar.In fact, he is a chubby old man who loves to tell jokes the most. The Xiao family has been locked in this palace by the emperor for generations. They have long forgotten how to laugh. It was he who brought laughter back to the court of Da Zhou.Listening to his poem, you can tell that it will definitely be censored when it is written, with four points of complacency, six points of leisure, and very disrespectful to the royal family.

And Xiao Jingyan is the "Little Wang" he taught.

Ye Xuanji was also his most beloved granddaughter. After Ye Shen, the Ye family fell into a slump, and it was only in his hands that they achieved ZTE. In the decree passed by the Holy Majesty today, Grand Tutor Ye was called "son and daughter's family", and Grand Tutor Ye prostrated himself to thank her.When he was there, the word was "good family", so that the young people of the Ye family's generation all grew up in the court.Old Ye Xiang taught law, Taoism, and Confucianism, and when the spring was fine, he would take them on an outing in the palace. When Xiao Jingyan was a child, he was more arrogant than he is now, with more than a little extravagance, but he was not at all calm. look.Lao Ye Xiang took them upstairs, bathed in Yi, danced in the wind, and returned home singing.Tell them that Confucianism not only has the bitter Taoists of today, but also that gentlemen are not as twisted as they are now, they can drink with swords, and they are good at riding and shooting.

He was good in everything, but he died too early, maybe the late emperor liked to hear jokes, so he called him away.If he is here, why is the Ye family here, and why is the court situation here?Every winter at this time, they think of him.And in this palace, those who miss him the most should be the two people standing upstairs at this moment.Because of this, they reached a brief peace, and even Yun Lan was surprised to see this scene when she served tea.

She probably thought that the two ancestors had confronted each other again, and that's why they were so silent.So he smiled and said, "What are you looking at, Your Highness? Xiaoyan is playing with Wei Ru, and what are you talking about about Qilin luck..."

As she spoke, she brought tea to the two of them. Ye Xuanji quietly picked it up. Hearing this, she lowered her eyes and smiled. The Ye family's complexion was extremely fair, and the upstairs lights were dim. They all said that the peony was extremely beautiful, but hers The face in the dark is more like a blooming white peony, so beautiful and dignified that people can't take their eyes off it.

"What kylin luck, it's just a joke that Luo Shen wanted to play tricks on the ancestors, and the world spread rumors. Ancestor Ye Shen was old..." She paused, probably remembering that Ye Shen didn't actually have old age.He died of illness early in his middle age: "He said that the so-called unicorn is four different. It is not like a cow, not like a deer, not like a camel, not like a donkey. According to legend in Shu, when you meet a unicorn, you will say 'embarrassed and embarrassed', His luck, he said, was nothing more than an odd one."

In fact, they all knew that she wasn't talking about Ye Shen. Ye Shen had passed away a hundred years ago, and she was talking about the living.

That person who never returned to the capital even though Emperor Qingde personally summoned Taifu Ye Heng to enter the palace.His situation is so embarrassing, everyone in the world thinks he is a unicorn, but maybe in his relationship with Xiao Jingyan, he is just a four-faced animal in a dilemma.

After Ye Xuanji said this, she didn't stay upstairs any longer, and returned to the banquet.She has always been the Crown Princess of the Eastern Palace who is more qualified than the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace. She is beautiful in appearance, talented in learning and good in conduct, and she is not picky about etiquette.If one had to find a shortcoming, it would probably be that she, the concubine, and the prince of the East Palace, apart from childhood, the closest moment in her life was just reading a poem written by a deceased person in this small building. .

The crown prince still stayed upstairs, and Yun Lan knew that he could see the small school yard outside Sihong Hall from here. When she came over, Yan Junyu was with Wei Ru, she hung her neck and didn't know what to say, she blushed when she said it of.

"Xiaoyan is playing with Wei Ru, does Your Highness want me to call him over?"

"No need, young people are easy to chat with."

She had never heard him speak like this, but she didn't dare to show surprise, she just lowered her eyes and quietly retreated.

But Yun Lan didn't know that Yan Junyu and Wei Ru were not actually playing, and of course they weren't fighting, because their fight was over soon, but they were talking about important things.

In fact, Wei Ru brought up the topic first. He and Yan Junyu fought for a while, and found that Yan Junyu was a little absent-minded, so he couldn't help asking: "Master, are you worried about something?"

"Wei Ru, I want to ask you something, you have to tell the truth." It was rare for Yan Junyu to lay the groundwork like this, and asked him with bright eyes: "Am I really good?"

"Of course, the young master is the most powerful."

"Then am I better than the smartest people? What about people who are smarter than Rong Hao? I can't study or write articles..."

"Does the young master have someone he likes?" Wei Ru asked keenly.

Yan Junyu's ears turned red immediately, and he refused to speak.Seeing him like this, Wei Ru was sure that Ye Linglong was the one he liked. For some reason, she felt a little bitter in her heart.He knew that if he met a girl like Ye Linglong, it would make people feel ashamed.

But Yan Junyu is also very good in his heart.So he said seriously: "Master, don't always think about other people's good. You are also good at yourself. Everyone is good at different things. Rong Hao can make a fuss, but you also have your strengths, your marksmanship It doesn't matter, the art of war. When you meet a girl you like, you should take the initiative to show her your strengths, and don't compare yourself to others with your weaknesses."

In fact, Wei Ru is not usually a person who can talk, but what he said was sincere and reasonable, and Yan Junyu was taken aback by what he said, and laughed.

"It seems to be like this. Let me try. Come on, let's continue to practice. When my marksmanship is as good as the painting you found, I will show him the spear dance."

The palace is strictly forbidden at night, apart from the imperial decree, only the companions of the East Palace can break into the palace gate at night like this.Rong Hao didn't even bring his attendants with him, he hurried back to the palace late at night, and he should have gone straight back to the East Palace.After thinking and thinking, he still knocked on the door of a small courtyard near Yichun Palace.This place has always been a forgotten corner of the imperial palace. Although it is not a harem and it is taboo for an adult man to stay in the palace, strictly speaking, this person can live here because he is an official slave of the Jiaofang Division.

The actors of the Jiaofang Division are no different from the eunuchs in the palace in terms of identity, but the eunuchs still have the possibility of being close to power, but the servants of the Jiaofang Division are existences that are even more immortal than the common people, no matter how good they are All knowledge has become satire.

He knocked for a long time, and the door opened, and Li Yu showed a face through the crack of the door. This kid is not familiar with him, and the East Palace will not stay, and runs here every day.It was also because Luo Heng was seriously ill recently.

"My father said, no guests, Mr. Rong, please come back."

Rong Hao had no choice but to turn around and leave. Unwilling to be reconciled, he turned around and slammed on the door a few times, saying, "Ye Heng is going to study politics."

This is the news he got personally, not to mention Ye Heng himself, Duan Changfu, who was drafting the decree beside Emperor Qingde, may not know, because the order is still in Emperor Qingde's heart at this moment.But Rong Hao had already deduced this result from various sources. After the Chinese New Year, it would be Chunwei.

There was silence inside the wooden door with peeling red paint. He waited for a while before he heard two coughs from inside the door, and a sickly voice said softly, "So what, it has nothing to do with me."

He was so clever when he was calculating Xiaoyan, but when it came to such a major event related to the fate of the country, he began to pretend to be dead.Rong Hao was sullen, but he didn't lose his temper, he just said coldly: "Then congratulate Li Daoyong for me, his disciple is going to be the champion!"
