After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

In the blink of an eye, it was the day when the officials welcomed the Seventh Prince back to the palace. Because of the ceremonial procedures, Emperor Longqing's imperial driver returned to the palace one day earlier than Bai Jinfu.

Before dawn that morning, civil and military officials entered the palace under the arrangement of the Ministry of Rites to wait for the Seventh Prince's guard of honor to enter the palace.

Jing Yu was naturally also in the ranks of hundreds of officials. He was wearing a red official uniform, and his tall and straight figure stood out from the crowd of elderly civil servants around him. He raised his head and kept his eyes fixed on the front, as if looking forward to As if seeing someone, his expression was already serious, and it was freezing outside, making him look even more frosty.

The time when Bai Jin helped him back to the palace was determined. Before that, the officials could not just stand in the limelight, move their legs and feet secretly to prevent their bodies from freezing, and gossip with their colleagues next to them.

"I don't know where the Seventh Prince came from. It's a miracle that he can still be found after being lost for more than 20 years."

"By the way, wasn't Marquis Ning An responsible for finding the Seventh Prince? Marquis, do you know how the Seventh Prince was found?"

"That's right, Marquis Ning'an should know, Lord Hou? Lord Hou?"

The man turned his head to listen to what Jing Yu had to say, but when he saw that Jing Yu didn't respond as if he hadn't heard it, he raised his voice and called him twice. Only then did Jing Yu respond, and he lowered his head to scan the eyes of the people around him. , asked: "What are you talking about?"

The official servant with a gray beard asked Jing Yu with a smile: "The officials want to ask Lord Hou, have you seen the Seventh Prince, and do you know how he was found?"

Jing Yu's eyelashes trembled, he raised his eyes and continued to look in the direction of the palace gate, and said indifferently, "Maybe I have."

They are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom for decades, and their ability to observe words and expressions is very good. Everyone noticed that Ning Anhou seemed to be in a bad mood today. After looking at each other for a while, they all silently stood a little away from Jing Yu, no longer Disturb Jing Yu.

At the time of Chen, the guard of honor of the Seventh Prince appeared in the field of vision of all civil and military officials on time. Before the carriage approached, all the officials found that the person riding a black horse at the front of the guard of honor seemed to be the great general Jiang Shuheng. , he was wearing a dark blue court dress, holding a talisman, riding a horse like a pioneer, leading the honor guard of the Seventh Prince forward.

When all the guards of honor had entered the palace gate, all the etiquette officers on horseback dismounted and waited on both sides. Then, all the officials saw Ji Fengyao, their supernatural teacher, stooped out of the carriage that the Seventh Prince was riding on. After getting out of the carriage, Ji Fengyao stood below and raised his hand to reach into the carriage. Immediately afterwards, a hand as white as jade stretched out from inside and gently rested on Ji Fengyao's arm.

As soon as the hand appeared, Jing Yu's gaze was fixed on it, and his mind was also swayed by it. He was looking forward to seeing the true face of Lushan, the Seventh Prince, but also worried that something would change drastically after seeing him. Between the desire to see and the fear of seeing, Jing Yu finally saw the owner of this hand.

Bai Jin supported Ji Fengyao's arm, and slowly walked down from the carriage. He was wearing a nine-chapter blue gown, a nine-pronged crown on his head, a large gold and jade belt around his waist, and a ribbon covering his knees. Extraordinary, if it wasn't for the fact that the officials had never seen the Seventh Prince, they would have thought that the one in front of them was one of the most respected and noble figures in the palace.

The moment he saw Bai Jinfu's face appearing under Yan Mian, Jing Yu's heart seemed to stop suddenly, his mind went blank for a moment, and then countless noisy voices of unknown origin crowded into his mind, in a mess Without a clue, it seemed like the world was spinning all of a sudden.

It was him, indeed it was him.

But why is it him?

Under the watchful eyes of the officials, Bai Jinfu held his head high and walked towards Emperor Longqing who was standing on the highest step, step by step. Han Yucheng in front came out to Bai Jinfu and unfolded the bright yellow imperial decree in his hand. All the officials kneeled down when they saw the imperial decree. Only Jing Yu stood motionless, staring blankly at the front. Facing the back view of Bai Jin Fu kneeling on the ground, he forgot where he was, like a statue.

Bai Jinfu had long noticed that there were two fiery gazes, and he kept staring at him. He knew who those two gazes came from, but he didn't dare to turn his head to look for them, and he couldn't show that he was affected in the slightest. Order yourself to harden your heart and turn a blind eye.

Han Yucheng saw that Jing Yu didn't kneel for a long time, his eyes were fixed, he coughed lightly, and motioned to the minister next to Jing Yu to remind him, the minister hurriedly pulled Jing Yu's clothes secretly, "Ning Anhou, hurry up and kneel down to listen. Purpose!"

Only then did Jing Yu react. He came back and looked around. The ministers had already knelt down on the ground, and he was the only one standing there alone. So smart, he might actually be the stupidest person in the world.

Jing Yu stabilized his mind and finally knelt down. After everyone knelt down, Han Yucheng began to read out Emperor Longqing's will to admit that Bai Jinfu was the blood of the royal family. After the decree was read out, Emperor Longqing said: " I have been separated from the Seventh Prince for more than [-] years. God is merciful, so that I can still have father and son reunion in my lifetime. Today, the Seventh Prince returns to the palace. It is time for the whole world to celebrate. I want to hold a big banquet in the palace to celebrate my return. The joy of my dear son, all the nobles and families should share the joy with me!"

All civil and military officials congratulated like a tsunami: "The ministers and others congratulate the emperor on his great joy, congratulate His Highness the Seventh Prince on his great joy, long live the emperor, long live, long live, and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, a thousand years ago!"

Emperor Longqing ordered the internal officials to bring Bai Jinfu to stand beside him, and accept the kneeling of the officials together with him.

With a smile on his face, Bai Jinfu looked down at the civil and military officials who saluted him, and saw Jing Yu in it at a glance, like a walking dead without thinking, following the ministers around him to bow and salute expressionlessly, heartbroken Immediately, it felt like being hit by some blunt object, and there was a dull pain. Worried that someone would find out the clue, he quickly looked away from Jing Yu, but the dull pain followed like a ghost, and it didn't subside for a long time.

After accepting the worship and congratulations from all the officials, he still has to go to offer sacrifices to the heavens, to recognize his ancestors in front of the tablets of the emperors of all dynasties, and after all the procedures in the palace are completed, Bai Jinfu has to sit in a carriage and go out of the palace for a parade. The common people kneel down to let all the people of Daliu know that their emperor has another seventh prince.

After the parade and returning to the palace, it was already dark, but today was not over yet. Emperor Longqing held a big banquet in the palace, and all the officials celebrated the great event of his reunion with the Seventh Prince.

At the banquet, all the ministers toasted and congratulated Bai Jinfu one after another. Bai Jinfu's drinking capacity was light, and he felt dizzy after two glasses of wine. Fortunately, Jiang Shuheng was there, and he protected Bai Jinfu behind him like a knight, helping Bai Jin helped to block a lot of wine. Seeing this, some officials felt strange and asked curiously: "Did the General and His Highness the Seventh Prince know each other before? The two seem to have known each other for a long time?"

Jiang Shuheng smiled heartily and said, "Before His Royal Highness was found, I had the honor of meeting His Highness Seven at the polo meeting organized by Duke Wei's mansion. We hit it off right away and became close friends. The Seventh Prince can't drink enough. Alright, all of you who want to toast come to me, and this general will drink with you!"

The ministers who came to toast laughed, "Okay, okay, then please ask the general to drink the cup toasted by the lower official for His Royal Highness."

Jiang Shuheng never refused to come, he drank three or four cups in a row, and was about to take a breath when suddenly a tall figure suddenly blocked his vision, "I don't know if I'm here to toast His Highness Qi's cup, will the general also do it for me?" ?”

Bai Jinfu, who was sitting behind Jiang Shuheng, heard a familiar voice, raised his head stiffly, and saw Jing Yu standing in front of him, his mind suddenly buzzed, and the smile that had lasted all night froze at the corner of his mouth.

"It's the Marquis of Ning'an." Jiang Shuheng noticed Jing Yu's gloomy face, guessing that Jing Yu must have understood the fact that he and Bai Jinfu had teamed up to deceive him before, so after laughing, he pretended to be close and approached Jing Yu, and took a picture. He touched Jing Yu's arm and said in a low voice, "Today is a big day, no matter how unhappy you are, let's talk about it after tonight."

Jing Yu didn't even look at Jiang Shuheng, just stared at Bai Jinfu with lowered eyes, holding a wine glass in one hand, and asked coldly: "I didn't know that His Highness the Seventh Prince and the Great General are close friends, so I don't know why in Seventh In your Highness's heart, what kind of friendship do you have with me?"

Forget it, escaping is not the way to go, sooner or later we have to face it, Bai Jinfu took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass on the table and stood up, looking at Jing Yu with a calm expression, with a faint smile on his lips, said: " Marquis Ning An and I almost became friends of Jin Lan, so our friendship is naturally deeper than that with ordinary people, of course I will drink this glass of wine with Marquis Ning An, come, I will do it first as a respect."

After finishing speaking, he raised his neck and drank the wine in the glass in one go. He drank too fast, the strong wine entered his throat, and was choked by the spicy taste. Bai Jin covered his lips and coughed several times. Er was stained a light red.

Jing Yu stared deeply at Bai Jinfu for a few seconds, drank the wine in his glass without saying a word, then put down the glass, and asked Bai Jinfu directly in front of several ministers next to him: " I have a few words that I would like to have a private chat with His Highness the Seventh Highness, I wonder if His Highness would give me a chance to speak?"

Bai Jinfu did not expect that Jing Yu would come directly to him on such an occasion. Now that so many people were watching, Emperor Longqing who was sitting on top seemed to have noticed the movement on their side, and he had already confessed that he and Jing Yu If we push forward the things we have known each other for a long time, maybe it will arouse the suspicion of others. Bai Jinfu thought for a moment, and could only bite the bullet and nod his head.

"it is good."

Jing Yu glanced at the entrance of the palace, "Go talk outside the palace."

Jiang Shuheng was a little worried about letting the two of them chat alone, and asked Bai Jinfu with concern: "Do you need me to accompany you?"

Jing Yu turned his head and glanced at Jiang Shuheng coldly. The anger that was suppressed in his eyes was about to burst out. Bai Jinfu noticed it and pretended to smile nonchalantly: "No, Marquis Ning'an said he had something to say." If you want to chat with me alone, don't join in the fun, keep drinking, and I'll come back as soon as I go."

After finishing speaking, she walked to Jing Yu's side, looked up at the man, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the bustling palace one after the other, followed the eaves, and stopped at a secluded place behind the palace.

Bai Jinfu turned around, and the cold night wind woke up his somewhat confused mind. At first he saw Jing Yu's bewilderment and panic, but now he has gradually calmed down. The jade wrench on the thumb said indifferently: "Let's talk about it here."

Jing Yu looked at Bai Jinfu from a distance of two steps, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

The man's voice was hoarse, and his deep lacquered eyes flickered with an unknown light in the dark.

"Yes." Bai Jinfu pursed his lower lip, looked up into Jing Yu's eyes, and said sincerely, "Sorry, I lied to you earlier."

"Did you lie to me?"

"..." Bai Jinfu regretted a little. He seemed to overestimate his own control. When he met Shang Jingyu's gaze, his mind became confused again. .

Let's say I lied. In fact, apart from letting Jiang Shuheng help him lie to Jing Yu that he was not there at Jiang Shuheng's house, he didn't really lie to Jing Yu about anything. Regarding the identity of his seventh prince, he was not obliged to tell Jing Yu.

But I didn't lie, he was indeed acting in front of Jing Yu all the time, making Jing Yu always think that he was naive and ignorant, and he always defended him and helped him plan everything.

Bai Jinfu pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "I shouldn't lie to your feelings, in fact, I knew my identity a long time ago, but I didn't tell you, and I'm not as brazen as you think. I'm acting in front of you, I'm just pretending to be naive, weak and scheming, but I just want to take advantage of your sympathy for me so that I can have a place to stay in the capital."

After a while of silence, Jing Yu didn't ask Bai Jinfu why he did this, but reminded him dryly: "The imperial palace is not a good place, it's very dangerous for you..."

Bai Jinfu didn't wait for Jing Yu to finish, and interrupted him softly: "That's why I don't want to tell you, because I think if you find out that I am the seventh prince, you will definitely stop me from returning in the name of my own good." Palace, just like what you said just now. But I don't want to live a mediocre life, so you just think that I am greedy for glory and wealth, and I am reluctant to give up my identity as the Seventh Prince."

Jing Yu's eyes darkened, "Are you telling the truth?"

"It can't be truer." Bai Jin tilted his head and looked at an unknown darkness in the distance, pretending to be indifferent, "Anyway, you decided to send me away, and where I go has nothing to do with you Isn't it? Marquis of Ning'an, from now on, just treat him as a stranger, and I don't need you to take care of my business anymore."

Jing Yu lowered his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, as if he felt that his former self was ridiculous, "You don't care about me, but you get so close to Jiang Shuheng, do you think he is more useful than me now?"

"Not all, at least he won't help me make decisions." Bai Jinfu looked blank, but he was racking his brains to think of everything that could make Jing Yu disappointed in him. Leaving the capital... These are all decisions you made for me without authorization. I don't like this very much. I don't like anyone intervening in my life in the name of my good. So Ning Anhou, you and I are destined to be different, okay Let's get together."

Let's get together and get away, let all the uncontrollable emotions in the past come to an end tonight.

He will forget the heartbeat that happened before. Without him, Jing Yu can marry a wife and have children normally, make his way to the top, and have a brilliant life that should belong to him.

"Unbelievable," the man looked up at the dark night sky, and let out a deep smile from his throat, "It turned out to be my fault."

Bai Jinfu held his breath, finally clenched his fists, turned around and walked back, "I've said what I need to say, I've been out long enough, I'm going back."

Jing Yu didn't hold back, and still maintained the posture of raising his eyes to the sky. Behind Bai Jinfu, he solidified into a lonely and melancholy shadow.

-

Although the Seventh Prince had been found, Emperor Longqing was not in a hurry to immediately appoint Bai Jinfu as the hostage candidate to send to Baiyue. The parent-child of the year, it turned out to be such a dishonorable sum for sending someone to be a hostage, so the only way to keep Bai Jin in captivity first, and find a way to make him willing to go to Baiyue as a hostage, so as to stop the long talk .

At present, Emperor Longqing only recognized Bai Jinfu as the seventh prince, but did not immediately confer Bai Jinfu as prince. According to the usual practice, a prince who has not been crowned king cannot leave the palace to open a mansion alone, so Bai Jinfu can only temporarily live in the palace.

The royal family pays more attention to the education of their children and grandchildren than ordinary scholarly families. After all, if they want to live forever, their children and grandchildren must not be successful. Therefore, after Bai Jinfu became a prince, he did not live the life of a wealthy and idle person. Apart from learning the royal etiquette and rules, Long Qing The emperor also asked him to go to Zishantang to study every day.

Zishantang is a special place for princes to study, and the teachers who give lectures to princes and grandchildren are also well-educated scholars, and most of them are Jinshi from the Imperial Academy, with a dignified character and profound knowledge.

Among the princes of Emperor Longqing, the crown prince and King Lie are almost grandfathers, and they have passed the age of studying and studying, so now all the ones studying in Zishantang are the grandsons of the emperor, and only Bai Jinfu is the prince. It seems that he has become the person with the highest seniority among those who study at Zishantang.

However, although his seniority is one generation higher, the ink in his stomach is the least. Fortunately, Han Yucheng helped Bai Jinfu to greet all lecturers of Zishan Hall in advance. When the lecturers randomly checked their homework in class, They will avoid finding out about Bai Jinfu, lest Bai Jinfu be embarrassed in front of all his nephews.

Just like this, I went to school with the emperor's grandchildren for a few days in Zishan Hall. Bai Jinfu tried very hard to understand all the lectures on the collection of scriptures and history, but the words that came out of the lecturer's mouth were all sloppy. , every time he listened to it, he was drowsy, and it was more effective than any sleeping pills. After a few times, Bai Jinfu completely gave up on himself. Anyway, Lin Qingshu helped him write the homework, so he was in charge of writing the homework. Just mess around in class.

The only bright moment was when in an arithmetic class, Bai Jinfu used a linear equation in one yuan to solve a problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage. The teacher who taught arithmetic praised Bai Jinfu, saying that he was quick thinking, It's easy to understand, and even two little nephews came to ask him for solutions after class.

Bai Jinfu, who has been continuously attacked by the downgrading of the Four Books and Five Classics for the past few days, finally feels that he is not a worthless waste. People who have never passed mathematics since high school never thought that one day they would love mathematics so deeply.

Duan Wuji had already started to learn to help his father handle state affairs, and he would only appear in Zishan Hall when a famous Confucian master surnamed Chen came to the palace to give lectures.

Today, it was Chen Xuejiu's turn to teach the emperor's grandchildren again. Chen Xuejiu was very serious about etiquette. The other emperors and grandchildren sat down in their seats well before his old man arrived, and Duan Wuji was the last one to arrive. of.

Although they are all the grandsons of the emperor, Duan Wuji is the grandson of the emperor who was appointed by Emperor Longqing, so the seat in the front row and the middle of the class is always vacant every day for Duan Wuji to show respect. Behind him was a young man in snow-blue clothes. The young man was half a head shorter than Duan Wuji, and his appearance was handsome, but his brows were somewhat gloomy, which made people feel that he was not easy to get along with.

That was Duan Heng, the only son of Emperor Longqing's late second prince Shen Wang, who was two years younger than Duan Wuji. After his father died, Duan Heng succeeded to the throne of Shen Wang. good cousins.

Duan Wuji walked in and walked straight to his seat, Bai Jinfu's seat was next to Duan Wuji's, so when Duan Wuji passed by Bai Jinfu's desk, he stopped for a while, lowered his head and smiled Glancing at Bai Jinfu, he seemed to ask with concern: "Seventh Uncle is fine these days, are you still used to living in the palace?"

Bai Jinfu smiled lightly, "I'm used to it."

Duan Wuji didn't wait for Bai Jinfu to answer, he had already sat down in his seat, "Just get used to it, if Uncle Qi is free, he can also come to the East Palace to sit."

Duan Heng in the back respectfully bowed to Bai Jinfu, and then silently sat down on the seat behind Duan Wuji.

After everyone sat down in their seats, and after a while it was time for class, the curtain at the door was lifted, and someone came in from the outside.

"Chen Xuejiu is not feeling well, I will take over the class today."

Bai Jinfu didn't have any hope of understanding the old scholar's lectures. He was dozing off with his head down and eyes closed in his seat, when he suddenly heard a very familiar voice coming from the front, he dozed off and ran away. He suddenly raised his head and saw Jing Yu appeared behind the desk at some point, with a solemn expression, he glanced at the students sitting below, and when his gaze passed Bai Jinfu, his eyes did not linger on his face for a second, as if It's like not knowing Bai Jinfu at all.

Chen Xuejiu is a master of contemporary Confucianism, with peaches and plums all over the world. Jing Yu also studied under Chen Xuejiu and is one of Chen Xuejiu's most proud disciples. The old man is old and it is winter, so it is inevitable that he will be sick. Substitute for him, so except for Bai Jinfu, the other emperors and grandsons have long been accustomed to it, and no one is surprised.

Jing Yu didn't like talking nonsense, so he sat down behind the desk and started the class, "Chen Xuejiu said that he assigned homework for you in the last class, so this class will come to check how well you have completed the homework."

The homework assigned by Chen Xuejiu in the last class is to ask everyone to choose a point from the "University" "Ming Mingde, being close to the people, and striving for perfection" to write an experience. The homework of the grandchildren has been completed and placed on the desk At the meeting, Jing Yu picked up the experiences they wrote and read them one by one for others to comment and exchange.

Different from other pedantic lecturers, Jing Yu's voice is clean and cold, and he speaks at a moderate pace, which sounds very comfortable. When commenting on articles, he often quotes scriptures and quotations from sources. Although Bai Jinfu doesn't understand well, he doesn't feel sleepy , or in other words, right under Jing Yu's nose, he was too embarrassed to doze off.

After commenting on a few articles, Duan Wuji suddenly said: "Marquis Ning'an, you have learned the true biography of Chen Xuejiao, the so-called close Zhu Zhechi, His Royal Highness Seven has lived in your house for a long time, I must have learned a lot from you. Less insightful, I heard from other masters that His Highness the Seventh Highness submits homework every time with outstanding literary talents and extraordinary insights, why not let His Highness Seventh Highness give us a lecture on "University" today, and give us some advice?"

Bai Jinfu gritted his back teeth secretly, he knew that Duan Wuji likes to make trouble the most, his homework was written by Lin Qingshu for him, he couldn't even read it, how could he say If he is ugly Yinmao, I am afraid that he will reveal his truth in a few words, and then everyone will know that he is ignorant and incompetent.

Jing Yu took a look at Duan Wuji, and found the one that Bai Jinfu handed in from a stack of homework. Based on his understanding of Bai Jinfu, he could tell with just a glance that this article was definitely not written by Bai Jinfu. After reading it emotionally, he pondered: "Your Highness, this article..." In the middle of speaking, he casually glanced at Bai Jinfu, seeing his solemn expression, paused for a while, and said calmly, "The writing is not up to par. It was obvious that he had no intentions, and he was fined to copy "Great Learning" ten times."

It's okay, okay, it's just a fine for copying, and he didn't let him speak. Bai Jinfu quickly raised his eyes to glance at Jing Yu, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

But Duan Wuji didn't give in, he chuckled, raised his chin haughtily, looked at Jing Yu and said leisurely, "Just copy ten times as a punishment? The Marquis of Ning'an I know has always been very strict with his studies, how come This time, the punishment was so mild? Is it because you have a personal relationship with His Highness the Seventh Highness, that you show mercy to His Highness the Seventh Highness?"

Jing Yu looked at Duan Wuji indifferently, and said with a calm expression: "His Royal Highness Changsun joked, I don't have a deep friendship with His Highness Seventh, but in general, His Highness Seventh is different from the past, and his status is distinguished. How could I be able to climb up to the top?" Yes, if His Highness the eldest grandson thinks that I am being selfish, then add ten more times, and you can only leave after class is over."

Duan Wuji turned his head to look at Bai Jinfu, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Uncle Qi, so you are not familiar with Marquis Ning An? Then I don't know how he punishes you, can you accept it?"

Bai Jinfu smiled at Duan Wuji and raised the corners of his mouth, "I accept."

Just wait, brat, there will always be a day when I beat you and convince you.
