true

A person.

The man had obviously been waiting in the snow for a while, his head and shoulders were covered with white, but he was not afraid of the cold, and he was still playing with the snow on the branches beside the road, holding a big peach blossom lantern in his hand.

Seeing Jingyan, the man stands up, shakes the white snow all over his body, and smiles.

------

"Jingyan, I'll give you a debut lantern riddle." Only a short distance away from Prince Jing's mansion, Lin Shu and Jingyan walked slowly side by side.

"Okay, you say."

"Woods are more beautiful than forests."

"...How can anyone use their own name as the answer to a riddle?"

"Wrong, there is a green tree standing tall, which is the word 'Jing' for His Highness Prince Jing."

"...Then I will also give you a puzzle to guess."

"it is good!"

"What is standing against the snow?"

"..." Lin Shu clicked his tongue and turned his face away, "You have never been able to answer riddles since you were a child, so it is naturally the 'plum' flower."

"No." Jingyan shook his head earnestly, seeing Lin Shu turn his head, with a smirk, he stretched out his hand to nod the snow-covered crown of Marshal Chi Yan who "stands facing the snow".

------

Even though Jingyan deliberately concealed it, Lin Shu still found out about the Lantern Festival incident after going round and round.

Lin Shu, who had just entered the door, blew the snow powder that had been shaken off his cloak towards Jingyan, watched the ice crystals condense into a small drop of water on the tip of Jingyan's nose, and then smiled, "You won't let Cheng Ting Tell me, are you worried that I will take people to catch up and beat them up and hang them on the tree?"

"You won't." Jingyan knows that although Lin Shu has a bit of quack style in his actions, he always has his own limits.

"That's why, let's hear it." After speaking, Lin Shu crushed the medicine that Lin Xie gave him, wrapped the medicine residue in a white cloth, slowly spread it on Jingyan's leg, and helped him with his hands After kneading the acupuncture points a few times, "Does it hurt?"

Jingyan shook his head, the medicine was indeed a bit burning, but it dispelled the cold air in the bones, and it was warm and comfortable, "I will be angry if I hear people say that yours is wrong. I’m even more annoyed by your bad words, and I think you should be the same. I didn’t tell you just because I didn’t want to see you get angry for nothing.”

Lin Shu muffled a laugh, Jingyan spoke seriously, probably not realizing that what he just said was purely about love.

Perhaps sensing something wrong with Lin Shu's smile, Jingyan frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Shu withdrew his complacent look, "I laugh at you for thinking about me, but forgetting about brother Jingyu. I just found out today that a page was deliberately missing from the gift list given by the emperor. Walking around and sending out a lot of money, I happily took the things that were not written on the gift list to make up for my own shortfalls. As a result, the Ministry of Rites filled up the missing page of the gift list and sent it to King Xian two days ago. He suffered disaster and was dismissed by King Xian in front of the Minister of Rites."

Jingyan agrees, "These two have misbehavior, and it's their own fault."

But Lin Shu knew that Jing Yu's move was only a temporary solution, not the root cause.He knows that Jingyu has always been worried about Jingyan's health, and he doesn't want to bother him with too many political affairs, and Jingyan also understands his brother's intentions.

But in some people's eyes, the emperor's various behaviors also have the meaning of fear and defense.

Most of the top officials in the court are upright and honest, so these speculations are just the rumors of the lower officials who have not been heard, and there are also some local officials who mentioned the disrespectful words when they mentioned King Jing in the report, but they are not worthy of punishment. big mistake.

The Son of Heaven's lack of anger confirmed the rumor that King Jing was not really favored, so those people became even more unscrupulous.

What they don't know is that in private, Jing Yu would be filled with guilt every time he mentions what Jingyan has done these years, often thinking that he is a brother in vain.

So this incident, although it may not seem like a big deal to outsiders, actually hit the Son of Heaven where it hurts the most.

Now the emperor has not made a decision, he is probably just hesitating, he does not want Jingyan to bother, but he does not allow anyone to despise him.

But how to show that you value yourself without embarrassing Jingyan is a difficult task.

"What are you thinking about?"

Lin Shu changed the subject without changing his face, "I think what Li Gang told me just now, my house spent more than a thousand taels of silver a few years ago, and I lent it to a friend for emergency, but after he repaid the money, I don't know." I forgot to put it back in the warehouse. I happened to be away during the few days when the settlement was made in the Fuchu, so I don’t know which kind-hearted Highness helped me fill in the money and didn’t plan to tell me?”

"..." Jingyan blinked. He happened to go to Lin Shu's residence that day, and when he saw Li Gang was in a dilemma, he asked one more question, but Lin Shu almost forgot about it without mentioning it, "You don't want to argue with me, do you? "

"Of course I have to worry about it." Lin Shu said seriously, "The 1000 taels I plan to convert into hazelnut cakes and return to you slowly."

----

As Lin Shu expected, after the two officials were punished by the hand of King Xian, the emperor announced that the crown prince would be entrusted to King Jing to be raised and moved into the East Palace until he became an adult.

Although the eldest son of the emperor was named the crown prince in the second year of Changjing, he was still raised in the palace and never entered the East Palace because he was underage.

This matter was not only jointly signed by Yanhou and other senior ministers, but also supported by the Ministry of Rites. In addition, in the original dynasty, King Jing was educated to adulthood in Prince Qi's Mansion, and the empress and queen mother in the harem were also very supportive of this matter.

It took only half a day to make a decision.

The imperial edict was promulgated immediately, and no one dared to underestimate Prince Jing's importance in the court.

----

"Next time you encounter such a thing, you must tell me." Xiao Jingyu looked serious, and his tone was quite reproachful, "How can there be a reason why my younger brother is angry outside but my elder brother doesn't know?"

Jingyan was taken aback for a moment, and after a little thought he realized what Jing Yu was referring to, "Nowadays, Eldest Brother Huang has a lot to do, and those are really trivial things, I can handle them myself."

Thinking about the neglect and exclusion he received in the ten years after the Chiyan case in his last life, and the fact that he was plotted and used by villains after ascending to the throne of God, compared with those, the two people in the Shangyuan Festival are not even villains. On the surface, at best, they are buffoons who are not worthy of attention.

There were not many people around King Xian, and those two were some of the famous ones, and it was only when Jingyan saw him that he remembered that they had been used in the war of the previous world, and one of them was good at calculating and deploying. A good hand, I was thinking of assigning it to the Ministry of Accounts to let Shen Zhui use it cautiously.

Seeing that Brother Huang was worrying about him so far, he was grateful in his heart, but he also felt that it was really unnecessary, so he tried to persuade him.

What's more, it is one thing to be able to educate the prince. It is one thing to be happy. After all, Tingsheng's status is not what it used to be. The day-to-day greetings, the palace servants’ service, and even the Tai Tuo’s daily teaching will take more effort, it’s really not as convenient as in the palace.”

"You have thought of every detail for him. You have thought more thoroughly than a father like me." Xiao Jingyu looked at his younger brother's uneasy expression when he was in the middle of the Tao, "but you forgot to ask him about it will."

"Brother Huang has already told Cheng Ting?"

"Say it, he went to tidy up happily."

"..."

"The last time I saw him so happy was when I found out that you were still alive." Jing Yu interrupted his younger brother, "Jingyan, 'Tingsheng' told me everything."

Hearing the word Tingsheng, Jingyan suddenly raised his head, his expression changed, but Jing Yu patted his hand to comfort him.

"This child has never cried since he was born. It was the first time he cried when you held him. Then it was the incident of the golden silk soft armor, and he cried in anxiety at home. Until the day when you are seriously injured and fell off the cliff."

"...I don't want to hide from Brother Huang."

"You shouldn't hide it from me. I'm really angry that someone else told me everything my brother did for me. "

"Although he is only a few years away from becoming an adult, it can be regarded as complete the bond between father and son you once had. Don't worry, even after he moves to the East Palace as an adult, he can often come to Prince Jing's mansion."

----

Three days later, the crown prince moved into Prince Jing's mansion to live in accordance with the order. When walking up the stone steps in front of Prince Jing's mansion, Xiao Tingsheng looked up at the plaque on his head.

When I was brought here from Princess Nihuang's mansion when I was a pardoned slave, I also looked up.

Jingyan is the same as before, taking him everywhere to see, even though the places are the same as before he left, Tingsheng still follows his father and walks earnestly.

Finally Jingyan took him to the side hall, "This room is relatively spacious, you like to write and read in a sunny place, the windows face the sun, and it's far away from the martial arts arena, so the sound of their drills shouldn't disturb you. "

"I still get up in the morning as usual, go to the Taifu's residence to study literature in the morning, go to the martial arts field to practice martial arts for two hours in the afternoon, and go to the palace every three days to say hello."

"How, if there is anything else that is needed, I will ask someone to buy it."

Ting Sheng just went to see it, and the house he lived in when he came to Prince Jing's mansion is still there.Because he was just a sinful slave pardoned by Ye Youting at the time, if living in the main house was too conspicuous, Jingyan arranged for him to live in a hut. The objects are all added one by one by Jingyan, and there are many such familiar objects in the side hall in front of him.

"It's all good."

"That's good." Jingyan hesitates and says, "It's the same as before, there's nothing to restrict, just treat it as being in your own mansion."

"The child knows, father rest assured."

----

The next morning, Ting Sheng dressed up and walked towards Jingyan's house.

I thought my father used to sleep lightly and vigilantly, waking up before dawn to deal with political affairs, and now in this life, he finally took advantage of the opportunity of recuperating to get a little leisure time. time ratio
