His Majesty the Emperor is also a human being, with seven emotions and six desires, and three thousand worries.Chen Guyue's heart is higher than the sky, although his life is not thin, but he can't stand Long Ting's wrath, it's good to suffer a little to raise his heart.

This is the original words of Wu Xun Taoist.

On that day, Shen Yuxin and Song Mingyue waited in the small courtyard for a whole day, waiting for Cai Xun to come back under the stars, after saying these words, they went back to Room 36 to rest.Looking at the imperial city, Cai Xun's words were the most convincing for the two of them. Song Mingyue immediately went back to the palace man's house without saying a word.

On the second day, the emperor and queen came out of the nest to see off Prince Wei to the east gate.Cai Xunshuo was recuperating in Room 36, and Song Mingyue did not show up either.Shen Yu was so bored that she borrowed Cai Xun's private room for a day and sent a sample of a new dress to Pei's embroidery shop outside the palace.

On the third day, Cai Xun watered the flowers in the small courtyard early in the morning, and the Qingmo Academy returned to the usual scene without Chen Guoshi just like when Shen Yuxin first came.Song Mingyue was still missing.Shen Yu felt a little anxious, and accidentally slaughtered the reed chicken that Meng Chang had carefully nurtured and prepared to dedicate to the empress.Everyone in Yumeng lost their demeanor, and they chased Shen Yuxin around the Qingmo Academy for ten laps with kitchen knives in hand.

On the fourth day, Shen Yu looked forward to the stars and the moon, but it was Song Mingjue who finally came.

Shen Yu was stuck at the gate of Qingmo Academy, and kept looking behind Song Mingjue, until her eyes were sore, she didn't see that graceful figure.Song Mingjue kindly explained: "Sir, don't look around, my sister didn't come. Now that Chen Guoshi is in jail, my sister said that if Chen Guoshi doesn't return to Qingmo Academy, she has no reason to come here again."

Shen Yuxin patted Yima Pingchuan's chest, and said anxiously: "I thought she was still angry."

Song Mingjue blinked, and Shen Yuxin, who was looking at Song Mingyue and his similar eyes, felt uncomfortable, and waved her hands to cover it up: "You haven't come for a while, are you here to ask for advice or just for dinner? Mr. Ben has something to say first , I’m not feeling well today, so I’m not fit to cook.”

"Neither of them." Song Mingjue looked twitchy, hesitated for a while, and said awkwardly: "Actually... I'm here to deliver a message for someone."

Shen Yuxin frowned slightly, relying on the relationship between the Song siblings and her, she always went straight to the point, such embarrassment must be due to the high status of the person who spoke, Song Mingjue couldn't refuse, and the entrusted matter was unusual.

"who?"

Song Mingjue's eyes swayed from side to side, and he stumbled and said, "Eldest, eldest prince..."

"Eldest Prince?" Shen Yu asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"

Song Mingjue smiled coyly, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing serious, I just invited you to Qiankelou for a drink, saying that I have admired Mr. Jiu's name for a long time."

The eighth princess' exhortation before leaving the palace was still in my ears, and Shen Yu smiled knowingly. The eldest son of the emperor has a lot of thoughts, and he can hold his temper.It took such a long time to attack her, such a person with a long history is rare in history.It's just that Zhao Ye's literary talents are mediocre, and his skills are also mediocre, but his success is more than superior than inferior. His Majesty the Emperor also turned a blind eye to this. Anyway, he is an unpopular prince, and keeping his own place is the most important thing.

Song Mingjue saw that Shen Yuxin's complexion was normal, and he was a little uncertain at the moment, so he said cautiously: "Mr. is going?"

"Is the eldest prince treating you kindly?" Seeing Song Mingjue nodding blankly, Shen Yuxin patted him on the shoulder, and said in relief: "You and I take a step back and say that we are a family. It has to be repaid, isn’t it just a drink, sir, am I a living person, am I afraid that I will give him food?”

"But..." Song Mingjue hesitated.Zhao Chu, who had learned from the past, no matter how late Song Mingjue was, he understood that His Highness the First Prince had other plans for this banquet.What annoys him is not that Shen Yuxin was misled by others, but what is really resentful is that he has become a chess piece that can be manipulated at will.The sixth prince was like this, and so was the first prince who thought he treated him sincerely.

Shen Yu looked at his complexion and guessed that it was inseparable. People like Song Mingjue who are so happy are the easiest to ponder, so she comforted her: "Don't think too much, before I enter the palace, how the eldest prince treats you, in the future he will treat you as well. How will I treat you."

When Song Mingjue left, he was still worried about Zhongzhong, and Shen Yuxin secretly sighed and was helpless.When Mr. Cai learned about this, he said without raising his eyelids, go early and go back early, and then said nothing more.

When going out of the palace this time, Shen Yu walked through the Yanping Gate, and happened to meet Lu Buying who happened to pass by here.The two looked at each other and smiled at each other.The upright and upright man watched Shen Yuxin's carriage go away, bowed his head in thought for a moment, and smiled unconsciously.

Qiankelou is a well-known century-old brand in Chongwen Street, where literati and inkmen gather. It has witnessed the decline of the former great power and the rise of the new dynasty. Not easy.The owner of Qiankelou was originally a wealthy local businessman. After the change of dynasty, it is said that his family moved to Huaiyang County and started a business in the Northern Jin Dynasty. , who exactly is unknown.There was once a son of Qingzhou gentry who went to Beijing to seek a future, had a few drinks in Qiankelou, and then made a comment on the officials of the court, and no one has seen this brother since.Some people privately speculate that with such clean hands and feet, the owner of this Qiankelou is most likely the head of the Six Ministries of the current dynasty, Master Zuoqiu Mingzuo, Minister of the Household Department.But after all, it is gossip that is passed on by rumors.

The driver is a simple and honest old man who has passed the age of forty. He has served in Qingmo Academy all his life, and his surname is Wang.There is an old mother with bad legs and feet in the family. His wife died early. Both sons went to the border of Beimang to join the army. They have not returned for five years and occasionally have a letter from home.This time, I hoped that Duke Lu would return to Beijing and meet his son, but God failed to fulfill his wish.Lao Wang's two sons didn't come back with them, but Lao Wang didn't complain and continued to live diligently.A few days ago, Mr. Wang sent three of you to Qiankelou’s Wenmojian. The unsmiling Mr. Cai also praised his car for getting more and more stable, and rewarded him with a small amount of money. Mr. Wang was very happy. On the way home Reward yourself with a pot of rice wine.The person traveling today is a famous celebrity who was in front of His Majesty recently. He walked out of the palace in a leisurely way. Lao Wang swallowed unconsciously thinking of the low-quality yellow rice wine with a spicy voice, and at the same time, he cheered up 12 points.

The carriage parked steadily in front of the gate of Qian Ke Building, and the young man who greeted the door was a man who had been beaten out of the pile of oil.With a pair of fiery eyes, he can tell whether a visitor is high or low, but the unadorned carriage in front of him is engraved with dark patterns of the court.The beautiful and strange brocade clothes set off the heroic appearance of this woman, indistinguishable between male and female, she is clearly a woman but has her hair tied around the crown, and she has no accessories but is wrapped in leather around her waist.

"Does it look good?" The woman squinted her eyes and asked with a smile, her eyebrows were like willow catkins in spring.

The little servant came back to his senses immediately, and was so frightened that his heart was disturbed, and he quickly apologized: "Women are welcome, I don't know who the women are..."

"There is an appointment in the Hongzi elegant room on the sixth floor."

The Qianke Building with four eaves covers an area of ​​[-] square meters and is a six-story tower with a grand gate and tall buildings.There is a special way to welcome and treat guests. The hall on the first floor is only for welcoming guests. If there are guests who come in groups, they can also take a rest here and wait for others.The second and third floors are restaurants, and the fourth and fifth floors are dedicated to literati reciting poems and paintings. However, nowadays, the Mohists are strongly favored, and the scholars in the literary world do not want to collude, so they negotiated that the fourth floor should be assigned to essays, and the fifth floor should be assigned to ink. In recent years, it has been peaceful. Nothing much.On the sixth floor, non-high-ranking officials and dignitaries are not allowed to go up, and there are eight private rooms for Hongtu, hegemony, Jiangshan and beauties, and the Hongzi cannot enter.

The servant cautiously led the woman into the door. There were two winding wooden steps on the left and right, and the servant led the woman up from the left without hesitation.This wooden step is specially designed for the sixth floor, and it can directly lead to the high top without passing through the floors.There was a middle-aged man waiting on the top of the sixth floor. The servant went up to explain a few words to him, then turned and went downstairs.

The beardless middle-aged man spread his hands and said with a respectful but humble smile: "Miss, please follow me."

Shen Yuxin looked left and right, and was surprised again and again.The smooth and shiny floor, the hollow and carved doors and windows, and the dazzling hanging candles in front of the door, Shen Yuxin can't name any of them, but she can see that they are all rare and valuable.

The middle-aged man stopped in front of the door with a small plaque in Hong characters, raised his hand and knocked lightly.After a while, a word came from inside.The middle-aged man pushed the door and stood still, spreading his hands, "Please, girl."

Shen Yuxin smiled and nodded, and stepped in.The middle-aged man bowed slightly and closed the door.

The entrance is an ink screen, made of ordinary sandalwood, but Shen Yuxin recognizes the brushstrokes of mountains and rivers on it, it is from the hand of Yan Mengqing, a layman of the Qingmo Academy.Shen Yuxin couldn't help being amazed, what is the origin of the owner of Qiankelou?Great work!

"Sir, can you tell if this screen is real or not?" Xu Shi waited for a long while but no one entering the room entered the room. His Royal Highness, who couldn't bear it, greeted him personally. Seeing Shen Yu staring at the screen in a daze, he asked casually.

Shen Yuxin said firmly without hesitation: "It's true, but..."

"But what?"

Shen Yu touched her chin unconsciously, frowned and said, "I seem to have seen this painting somewhere."

Zhao Ye snorted, and said: "When I came here more than ten years ago, I didn't have this screen. I think it was replaced recently. I don't know where you saw it?"

Shen Yu pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can't remember."

Zhao Ye chuckled and said comfortingly, "Then don't think about it, sir, please sit down."

Only then did Shen Yuxin raise her head and take a look, panicked immediately, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know that this official is His Royal Highness, I hope you will forgive me for being rude."

Zhao Ye smiled gently, and while stepping out of the way, he spread his hands and said, "This is not in the palace, sir, don't be cautious, please."

Shen Yuxin straightened up cautiously, and said with a sneer: "Being obedient is worse than being respectful."

After entering the inner room, Shen Yuxin realized that there was still a person sitting on the Eight Immortals table, looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.This person is neither strange nor familiar with Shen Yuxin, he once had a relationship with Shuiyunjing, he is Xiao Xuanzhong's only son, Xiao Daoru.

With Xiao Daoru's eyesight of reading countless flowers, Shen Yuxin couldn't help beating his heart. Fortunately, Xiao Daoru's expression remained the same after he was seated, and Shen Yuxin was relieved. Although she is a woman, she has an extraordinary bearing, and she does not give in to a man, so she should punish herself three times for being late today!"

Shen Yu was horrified in her heart, and cursed secretly, what a dog!I can't read the book well, but I'm a veteran in every field, and I drink my old lady's wine?Don't think about it!
