The Favorite of the Court of Joy

"It was when he was in Xunhuan Pavilion. As the big benefactor, I was supposed to give him a toast, but during the toast, I was touched by his salty pig hand, that's all. You think I took the initiative to touch him Ah, I have no choice but to." Zhang Xiaoqian saw Zhao Minghan's face changed, he must be concerned about this matter, so he is really jealous?Zhang Xiaoqian wanted to find out, so he took his hand and said deliberately: "Why, my lord, are you enjoying yourself?"

Zhao Minghan let go of his hand, and snorted coldly, "Who do you think you are? You are just my king's male favourite. Why does this king want to eat? This king just doesn't like others to touch my things."

Zhang Xiaoqian's complexion was even worse, and his indignation was hard to appease.In front of so many servants, Zhao Minghan said that Zhang Xiaoqian was just his male favorite.I have to say this sentence cut Zhang Xiaoqian's heart.Zhang Xiaoqian comforted himself: If a man is a pet, he is a man's pet, do you think I will have true feelings for you?I won't, I'm just trying to get your money.Leave when I earn enough money.

But Zhang Xiaoqian couldn't bear it after all, and fought back: "Fortunately, the prince doesn't like food, otherwise, if the prince knows that I will not only be touched by people in the Xunhuan Pavilion, but also hugged and hugged, wouldn't the prince want to eat me?" Hurt yourself and hurt yourself.”

Seeing that Zhao Minghan's cold face didn't change any more, he was sure that he really didn't care, so he put away his thoughts, smiled again, and said to him, "Didn't you agree to take me to the street, my lord? Let's go Bar."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Minghan said with a gloomy and cold face: "This king is not in the mood, so I won't go." Then he flung his sleeves and walked away.

Zhang Xiaoqian also exploded, and shouted from behind: "Hey, why are you like this, you don't count your words, you big liar, Zhao Minghan, come back to me."

Zhao Minghan had long since disappeared.

"Hmph, if you don't go, I will go by myself."

But before he took half a step out of the gate, he was stopped by five or six guards, "Young Master Qian, the prince has ordered you not to leave the house for half a step without his order, please don't embarrass the little ones."

"Hmph! If you don't go, you won't go." Zhang Xiaoqian walked away in anger, thinking that he might be able to slip out secretly by the west door next to the plum garden.Seeing that the person watching the small door was not there, Zhang Xiaoqian opened the door secretly, thinking he had succeeded, but unexpectedly—"Hello, Mr. Qian, the prince ordered you not to leave the house." Four or five burly servants appeared behind him.

Zhang Xiaoqian yelled angrily on the spot; "Shit, Zhao Minghan!" He slammed the door and went back to Yimei Garden angrily.

"Angry! Die! I'm dead!" Zhang Xiaoqian was so angry that he slapped the table, but hurt himself.

"Master, don't be angry, drink some tea to quench the fire." Xiaocheng waited aside with tea.

Zhang Xiaoqian drank honeysuckle, which clears heat and relieves fire, but he didn't feel his anger disappear.Then he asked; "Where did the prince go?"

"My lord is in East Lake Garden."

There are two large gardens and a small garden in the Wangfu, one East Lake Garden and one West Lake Garden. The East Lake Garden is close to Biluo Pavilion.There is also a small garden in Zhao Minghan's main courtyard.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqian was about to get angry again, Xiaocheng hurriedly said, "Young Master Yu sent someone to invite Wang Ye on purpose. I heard that he has a lot to say."

"Important things should be said behind closed doors. Why do you choose to be in a garden where people come and go? What does Yu Xiujie want to do?" Zhang Xiaoqian is also a good person occasionally. "Come on, let's go take a look."

In the East Lake Garden, in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, Yu Xiujie was playing the piano to the last few notes, and Zhao Minghan sat aside and listened quietly.

The sound of the strings was still, Zhao Minghan closed his fan, and asked, "Just asking me to listen to the piano?" Zhao Minghan's tone was not only doubtful but also dissatisfied.

Young Master Yu didn't answer his question, and added: "The prince taught me this song. I was ten years old at that time, and my father was still there. It's great to be carefree. It's a pity that I can never go back to the past." Yu Xiujie's The eyes are full of sadness, which makes people feel distressed.

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Minghan's tone began to look a little impatient.

Yu Xiujie stood up, straightened his clothes, saluted Zhao Minghan respectfully and politely, and said, "What the prince said to Xiu Jie some time ago, Xiu Jie has repeatedly reflected on it. It is Xiu Jie who made mistakes before. I was wrong, I was wrong, and it was a big mistake. Now that I have figured it out, Xiu Jie once again begged the prince to forgive me for the nonsense about me in the past." Yu Xiujie was still kneeling in front of Zhao Minghan.

Zhao Minghan was slightly surprised, but when he heard that he was wrong, he figured it out. He felt very relieved, and quickly helped him up, patted him on the shoulder, and told him to sit down and talk.

"Before Xiu Jie's father passed away, his mother died early, and his relatives were all in other places. He was alone and alone, so he relied too much on the prince, which caused confusion in his relationship. It is ashamed to regard this long-term dependence as a yearning relationship. I am ashamed. Then I forgot my ideals and aspirations, did a lot of wrong things, and drove away many of the prince’s male favorites and concubines. It was Xiu Jie who made a mistake, please punish and forgive me.”

Zhao Minghan smiled, and said: "I don't care about those concubines and male pets, as long as you can figure it out. There will be an imperial examination next year, study hard, and strive to get the first place, so that you can be worthy of your teacher. As for the others, I don't care." I never blamed you, so you don’t have to take it to heart, just relax. It’s not a common saying that you can live a long life if you’re in a good mood.” When Zhao Minghan said the last sentence, the scene when the little slave served him as a servant appeared in Zhao Minghan’s mind. Not only did he have a smile on his lips.

"Xiu Jie understands." Then Yu Xiujie said again, "It's just that you asked me to move out, my lord, can you take it back?" Yu Xiujie licked his face and said: "I'm used to living in Biluo Pavilion, and there is a doctor from the Lu family here. In case I get sick again, I can be treated in time. In order to fulfill my father's expectations of me, and also for my own ideals, I have to take good care of my health and continue to disturb the palace."

Zhao Minghan promised that his teacher would take good care of Yu Xiujie. Now that Yu Xiujie has figured it out, he has regained his ideals and aspirations. In addition, the conditions in the palace are better, so he can take better care of him materially. "Okay, no matter where you want to live, as long as it's comfortable for you. We don't have to be too estranged, after all, we are also senior brothers. You can call me senior brother Wang as before."

"Thank you, brother." Yu Xiujie looked energetic today, with a smile on his face, which made people intoxicated.

At this time, the maids and servants who came and went passed by, and it was inevitable to catch a glimpse of the situation in the pavilion.During this time, it was said that Young Master Yu and the prince had a falling out, and that Young Master Yu fell out of favor and was about to be kicked out of the palace.But looking at the way they were talking happily now, the prince treated Young Master Yu very well.

Yes, that's what Yu Xiujie wanted to make people think. It was impossible for him, Yu Xiujie, to be kicked out of the palace.

"Brother, can you play a duet with Xiu Jie?"

"But this king didn't bring a flute."

"It just so happens that I have it here." Yu Xiujie had been prepared for a long time, and Caiyun came forward in a very sensible way.

Zhao Minghan took it and twirled it between his hands, "This is the flute that this king gave you before."

"That's right, not only the qin, but even the flute was taught by my brother."

What Yu Xiujie said today can always bring Zhao Minghan back to the innocent and beautiful past.

Zhao Minghan compared his posture for playing the flute, and played a piece of music very familiarly. Yu Xiujie immediately knew what he was playing, and put his hands on the strings to play together.

The melodious and melodious sound of the qin and flute, even Zhang Xiaoqian, who was hiding in the corner, was fascinated by it.

But just at this time, a cat that was not looking good suddenly jumped on Da Zhang Xiaoqian, making him scream, and the maids around him were also frightened by his fright, and they started screaming, successfully alarming the intoxicated performance in the pavilion in the middle of the lake. The two of them, as well as the surrounding maids and servants.

Zhang Xiaoqian really wanted to find a place to drill down, but this time it was really embarrassing.

Xiaocheng and a few others quickly helped him up, flicked the dust off his body, and straightened his clothes.

Now that they have been discovered, they can only come out.Zhang Xiaoqian walked into the Huxin Pavilion pretending to be nonchalant.

Zhang Xiaoqian clapped his hands continuously, and praised with a smile: "The combination of the flute and the piano of the prince and Young Master Yu is really beautiful, enough to circle the bridge for three days."

Zhang Xiaoqian secretly glared at Zhao Minghan, he was still angry just now.

"Sit down." Zhao Minghan said.

When Yu Xiujie saw Zhang Xiaoqian, a small thought suddenly came to his mind.He said: "The place where Mr. Qian stayed before, he also learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Why don't you play a piece and communicate in music." Yu Xiujie thinks that Zhang Xiaoqian came from a dirty place like Xunhuan Pavilion, and the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are bound It's just a superficial learning, and only some obscene sounds, it's hard to get into the lobby.Wouldn't it be great if he could make him look ugly in public!

Zhang Xiaoqian, who was eating a piece of flower cake, stopped suddenly, and he knew that Yu Xiujie's words to him must be bad.Maybe the real Qianhong can play the qin well, even surpassing Yu Xiujie, but he is not Qianhong, he is Zhang Xiaoqian, he doesn't know how to play the guqin, and he has never touched the guqin.

However, don't think that this will make it difficult for him, Zhang Xiaoqian.

Zhang Xiaoqian said: "Master Yu wants to exchange music with me, but he doesn't necessarily not want to play the piano, other things are also fine."

"Xiao Cheng found seven bowls, a pair of chopsticks, and a basin of water."

Neither Zhao Minghan nor Yu Xiujie understood what he was going to do, but they both waited curiously.

Xiaocheng put seven bowls on the table, Zhang Xiaoqian tapped the bowls while pouring water, and hit the notes he wanted.

After everything was ready, Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly saw a chrysanthemum not far away with chopsticks in one hand, and remembered Jay Chou's "Chrysanthemum Terrace". He used to play and sing this song on the guitar to participate in an audition competition and won a good ranking.

At this moment, he knocked on the edge of the bowl to let it make a rhythm, and sang softly: "Your tears are weak and hurt, the pale moon bends to hook the past, the night is too long, it condenses into frost, who is here The cold despair in the attic. The rain flicks gently, the scarlet window, my whole life is blown by the wind on the paper, and the dream is in the distance, turning into a wisp of incense, drifting with the wind. Your appearance. The chrysanthemum is broken, the ground is full of injuries, you The smile on my face has turned yellow, the flowers are falling into my heart, my thoughts are flowing quietly, the north wind is turbulent, the night is still young, your shadow keeps cutting, leaving me alone on the lake in pairs..."

After singing the song, both Zhao Minghan and Yu Xiujie hadn't come to terms with it, and were immersed in a faint sadness.
