I write novels in the East Palace

There was a sudden thunder in Pingdi, Zhou Chengyi was a little dazed, and almost subconsciously threw out the classic emoji "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense" to prove his innocence by refusing the three-linked phrase.

Fortunately, he reacted in time and forcibly cooled his overloaded mind to calm down.

From the corner of his eye, he quietly looked at the emperor's expression, and tried to take off the pot as he weighed his words, "I think...Mr. Zhi Ge may have just written it casually and didn't think too much about it. There are not many generals who have not died well in the past dynasties. , such as Bai Qi, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, and Han Xin, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty.”

After racking his brains, Zhou Chengyi could only bite the bullet and copy homework with Princess Huimin, and took out her perfect answer sheet.

The emperor looked at him quite meaningfully, and said slowly, "For example, Li Mu and Su Qin."

He actually pointed out the remaining two famous generals who specifically mentioned their names in the answer sheet, and then added the name that Princess Huimin wanted to write most but dared not write, "And——Zhong Liyue."

This is not over, the emperor turned a page of the book and said, "I just mentioned the name of the article, and you will know who the author is. It seems that you have read it."

"..." Zhou Chengyi's scalp was numb.

He didn't know if the emperor already knew that the author was him, and deliberately said these words to deceive him or beat him up. Now there are only two ways in front of him: either admit it, or beat him to death and refuse to admit it.

Both of them must go to the dark.

recognition.

The emperor had already decided that "Fox Dream" was a manuscript for his uncle to "clean up the ground". No matter how many explanations Zhou Chengyi had, it would be useless. When the emperor got angry, not only he would suffer, but his brother or Chang'an might also suffer. Bookstore and Mr. Zigu will be dragged into the water together.

It would be a pity if he died because of this, but he was not afraid. Zhou Chengyi earned his life for nothing, and he earned a few more days of living. He can only blame himself for this matter.

But he didn't want to hurt anyone else.

deny.

No matter what kind of Thor's hammer the emperor has in his hands, even if the vest on his body is equivalent to the emperor's new clothes, he firmly refuses to recognize it.

If he couldn't hide it anymore, he turned himself into a reference object and attracted the firepower, so that no matter how angry the emperor was, most of them would be directed at him.

Zhou Chengyi naturally favored the latter.

Moreover, he had carefully asked Zhou Chengyao about the process of submitting the manuscript. In order not to attract attention, he deliberately timed the time difference every time. The manuscript was also sent to Fufu privately, and even if he wanted to check, there were few traces.

He intuited that the emperor did not have direct evidence that Zhige was him, most of them were still in the stage of guessing, deliberately defrauding him.

Zhou Chengyi settled down, "The new eunuch under Erchen is still young and lively, very likable, he sees Erchen's mood in the claustrophobic palace, so he always tells Erchen some new things. "

"Even Mr. Song and Mr. Zigu donated manuscripts for the new magazine published by Chang'an Bookstore. It is so popular that I have heard of it." With a self-deprecating self-mockery on his face, he deliberately said that the discussion in the magazine was very hot. Relatively tall two celebrities everyone.

As the crown prince, the original owner's main energy is still in the court, and he doesn't know much about the old and new students in the literary world, and he has some vague impressions of these two names.

After Zhou Chengyi came, he "housed" in the East Palace every day, and he didn't have the opportunity to meet any literary giants, and he had a thorough understanding of the stories behind them. He didn't know whether the people behind the vest were ghosts or not.

These two names were carefully selected from the barren list of contemporary celebrities after excluding the white-clothed scholars.

I still remember Zhou Chengyao’s surprise at Zigu before, and the occasional few words in the letters from readers showed that Mr. Zigu is indeed a great man;

He made excuses and decided to use the well-known body.

So Zhou Chengyi didn't know that Zigu was stepping on thunder.

Wang Hedu held his breath subconsciously, glanced over from the corner of his eye, and was astonished as if he had seen a ghost, as if he was meeting the prince for the first time.

The emperor twirled his fingers at the corner of the page, narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice without anger, "Are you running on me?"

Zhou Chengyi didn't know why his words turned into a run-on, he lowered his head to cover up the ignorance in his eyes, so he still said dryly, "I dare not."

"Why don't you dare." The emperor also said the same thing.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little condensed.

Wang He stood up at the right time to end this meaningless conversation, "Your Majesty, drink some tea to moisten your throat."

He stepped forward to refill the tea, and the emperor lowered his eyes to read the book again, as if he was not interested in Zhou Chengyi, he waved his hand, "You can go back after offering incense sticks to the concubine."

Zhou Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly withdrew.

The sound of footsteps crossed the screen and gradually disappeared. The emperor raised his eyes to follow the sound and glanced at the empty front. , dare to use such words to mock me."

"It's not in vain to leave the gate of hell this time." She looked a bit like a queen.

Wang He has been with the imperial court for many years, and immediately saw that His Majesty was thinking of Empress Xiaoxian, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness must understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts."

"Such a cowardly temperament, it's not a cure for the symptoms, but it needs to be worn." The emperor put down the magazine in his hand, closed his eyes with some discomfort after reading under the candlelight for a long time, and leaned back in the chair, his brows and eyes were full of tears. exhausted.

It was only then that Wang He remembered that the room was still dark, so he hurried to draw the curtains.

The sudden strong light made Zhou Chengyi squint his eyes, and he didn't realize until then that the sun was already high.

He first went to the mourning hall to offer incense, where the people kneeling and burning the paper had changed. A man and a woman were both wearing white clothes and linen and filial piety. They were talking together in a low voice when they heard the movement and raised their heads.

"Fourth brother?!" Surprised by Zhou Chengyi's man, he suddenly stood up, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Chengyi immediately recognized who this person was—the Fifth Prince Zhou Chengan.

Beside her was a pretty woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, with a pair of peach blossom eyes. She was one of the five princes' side concubines, Shen Ping, the heroine of "The Terrace of Sacrifice to You".

Zhou Chengyi didn't pay attention to him, and he finished offering incense to Concubine Xu first, and then asked back before the fifth prince was furious, "Why does the father and the emperor call Gu, the fifth brother really doesn't know?"

The fifth prince really panicked, and said bravely, "What can I know! Stop slandering me with nonsense."

Zhou Chengyi looked at his unapologetic appearance, and couldn't help thinking, his acting skills in front of the emperor just now shouldn't be so bad, right?

Sad in his heart, he said casually on his face, "I don't know why you are panicking? What did you do to your heart?"

"Of course not!" Zhou Chengan's voice suddenly rose, as if he was afraid that others would not know that he was guilty.

Although Zhou Chengyi didn't pay too much attention to it, since the matter of the Habayashi Army had been brought to the emperor's place, whether it was due to the unhappiness of being involved in power, or the brother-in-law fighting against each other, it was obviously impossible to let it go.

Especially after meeting the emperor, Zhou Chengyi was even more sure that the current situation of the fifth prince, not to mention walking on thin ice, must be trembling.

During this period of time, Zhou Chengan probably had trouble sleeping and eating, and when he heard that he had come because of this matter, his mood immediately exploded.

Shen Ping quickly grabbed Zhou Chengan's clothes. She spoke softly and had a strong character, but she took a half-step forward and directly met Zhou Chengyi, "This is the mourning hall of the empress dowager, it's better not to make noise."

Zhou Chengyi glanced at her, and then at Zhou Chengan, feeling that this heroine's eyesight is really not good enough to mention anything else.

Inexplicably, Shen Ping felt that Zhou Chengyi's look was a bit harsh, her fingers curled up, her brows were slightly furrowed, and then smoothed out quickly.

Zhou Chengyi was tired and hungry now, he was too lazy to talk to them, and left Ningshou Palace straight away.

I saw Chang Xia and Lin Dong waiting outside at some point.

"Let's go, go back to eat." Zhou Chengyi waved his hand casually, shaking away all the worries in Chang Xia's eyes.

Not long after Zhou Chengyi finished his meal, Zhou Chengyao came. He ran in a hurry, his clothes were messed up, he was choking on the wind, and his face was extremely red.

As soon as he came in, he looked him up and down, and he was relieved after confirming that he was all right.

"Today is Lao Wu's night vigil. He will be in the palace until midnight tomorrow. Be careful." Although Zhou Chengyao doesn't need to watch the night, he still has to stay in the mourning hall during the day, and he can't delay too long. Before leaving, he took out a stack of The manuscript was handed to him, "Princess Huimin asked me to tell you that she couldn't sleep yesterday, so she found that the manuscript was not lost on the table."

Zhou Chengyi: "..." No, it has already been lost, and it has been read.

However, since the emperor picked it up and returned it, it proved that he didn't care about the manuscript being seen.

Zhou Chengyi thought about it, and recently concealed the matter and accepted the manuscript.

Concubine Xu—or should be called Empress Dowager Chunzhuang now.

According to the emperor's decree, Concubine Xu was posthumously named Empress Dowager, and the mausoleum and funeral were also in accordance with the Queen Mother's specifications. In accordance with the Empress Dowager's last wish, folk funeral bands were invited to enter the palace, and folk funeral customs were also followed.

For seven consecutive days, the sound of mourning and music continued day and night, and the beating of drums was accompanied by continuous mourning and crying.

Zhou Chengyi was so loud that he couldn't sleep.

And according to Zhou Chengyao, who came twice, they had to kneel when the drums sounded, and they could only get up and move around when the drums stopped, and then they repeated themselves, kneeling for more than half of the day.

Zhou Chengyao is okay, he is not in good health, that is to say, the Emperor Ninth Five-Year Supreme is also busy with government affairs, so naturally no one dares to ask him to kneel like this, and the remaining two princes are still at the age of breastfeeding, and they can hardly sit up. How can I kneel.

So Zhou Chengan, the only healthy filial grandson, was miserable.

"I heard that his knees are all blue."

Zhou Chengyao had no mercy for this brother who dared to be cruel to his brother, so he watched the fun happily.

Back to the topic.

Zhou Chengyi couldn't sleep, and there was no entertainment in this era, so he could only write novels.

"Fox Dream" Stealing Dream Scroll, the full name is Stealing Dreams and Stealing Longevity. After Yunmenghu solved the problem of stealing the life scroll, he was tricked by someone on the road and entered a formation by mistake. Yunmenghu sank helplessly into her nightmare technique.

And that dream is Yunmenghu's past, and it is also the only love story in the article "Fox Dream".
