Thanks to Duan Wuji, after class was over, only Bai Jinfu was left alone to copy for punishment. The full text of "Great Learning" is more than 2000 words, and 4 times it is more than [-] words, which is equivalent to a high school composition of [-] words. Bai Jinfu wanted to copy fifty or sixty chapters, and he might be able to write faster with a modern fountain pen, but he chose to use a brush. Bai Jinfu felt that after copying the "University" twenty times, his wrist was very tight. Can't do it.

Everyone else had already left, and only Bai Jinfu was left in the classroom, and a little eunuch who helped him sharpen ink. He wrote for two hours, and it was past lunch time. Bai Jinfu put down the brush and kneaded the sour With a sore wrist, he counted how many articles he had written, and found that he was still far away from writing twenty times. Bai Jinfu really wanted to tear up all the written papers and stuff them into that bastard Duan Wuji. mouth.

Bai Jinfu was secretly angry, his face turned green and pale for a while, the little eunuch who was serving at the side saw him and thought he was cold, so he asked courteously: "Your Highness Seventh, do you want the villain to bring you another basin of charcoal? "

After sitting for so long, Bai Jinfu did feel a little cold, so he nodded in agreement, and the little eunuch went out to get the charcoal basin, and came back after a while, but did not bring in the charcoal basin, but held a hand stove in his hand.

The little eunuch held the stove in front of Bai Jinfu, "Your Highness, your hands tend to get stiff after writing for a long time, please take this stove to warm your hands."

Bai Jinfu put down the pen, took the hand stove and put it in his hand to cover it, feeling warm, his stiff fingers slowly regained consciousness, and asked the little eunuch, "Where did this hand stove come from? Didn't you go to fetch the charcoal basin?" ?"

The little eunuch said: "Going back to Your Highness Seventh, the villain originally wanted to get the charcoal basin, but just as he went out, he met a eunuch who came and offered to give His Highness the hand stove, so the villain brought in the stove first."

"The eunuch who gave me the hand stove?" Bai Jinfu frowned and asked, "Did he say who sent it?"

The little eunuch scratched his head, "This villain forgot to ask."

Bai Jinfu glanced at the little eunuch, this kid is stupid, he is not very clever at first glance, he only knows how to take things when others give him, and he doesn't know who to ask who gave it to him.

But who sent it?Bai Jinfu raised the hand stove and took a look. It was a brass hand stove, exquisitely crafted, with dragon patterns engraved on it. It looked like something for imperial use, and certainly not something that ordinary people could use.

Bai Jinfu thought about it, the relationship between him and the other emperors and grandchildren who were studying with him was not very good, most of them were snobbish, seeing that Duan Wuji didn't take him seriously as seventh uncle, others would naturally He won't be very close to him, so it shouldn't be a gift from one of his cheap nephews.

That could only be... Could it be Jing Yu?

Thinking of this possibility, Bai Jinfu couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. During class, some people still said with a straight face that they couldn't get over him, but after class, they still cared about whether he was cold or not. They said they didn't care, but they still cared in their hearts. Yes, knowing that he was copying here alone, his hands must be cold, so he quietly asked the eunuch to bring him a hand stove.

Bai Jinfu couldn't help but pursed his lower lip. When he realized that he must look like a young girl Huaichun, he quickly lowered his head and pretended nothing happened, but he hugged the stove even tighter, his whole body seemed to become warm up.

With the buff of the hand stove, Bai Jinfu worked hard and finally finished copying the "University" twenty times before dark.

"You're done!" Bai Jinfu threw down the writing brush, stood up and stretched his hands, turned around and asked the little eunuch to help him put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone into the box, and then picked up the stack of copies on the table I patted the paper in my hand, and it felt quite a sense of accomplishment.

Coming out of Zishantang and preparing to go back to his residence, Bai Jinfu was thinking all the way how to hand over homework to Jing Yu. If he only sent someone to deliver the homework to Jing Yu, would it appear that he Too unkind?After all, he was kind enough to give him a stove, if he only sent a little eunuch to deal with it, it might hurt Jing Yu's heart.

But if he personally sent Jing Yu there, he had already agreed that they would be strangers in the future, and if the two of them met in private, they were afraid that they would become entangled again.

While worrying, he passed a palace road and turned a corner, just in time to meet two people walking towards each other from a distance, Bai Jinfu raised his head and took a closer look, what a coincidence, one of them was Jing Yu, and the person next to Jing Yu It turned out to be Han Yucheng.

Bai Jinfu was a little surprised how the two of them would walk together, and after thinking about it, it was just right to meet him this way, and hand over the homework to Jing Yu in front of Han Yucheng, so that he could avoid the embarrassment of meeting Jing Yu alone. It can also let Han Yucheng see that the friendship between him and Jing Yu is really nothing more than water.

So Bai Jinfu walked towards the two of them, Jing Yu and Han Yucheng naturally saw Bai Jinfu, after the three approached, Jing Yu and Han Yucheng first greeted Bai Jinfu, who is now the prince, After Bai Jin helped them avoid their ceremony, he pretended to ask casually: "Why are you two adults still not out of the palace so late?"

Han Yucheng smiled and said, "I've just finished discussing government affairs in the imperial study, and I'm about to leave the palace now. Where did His Highness the Seventh come from?"

"Zishantang." Bai Jinfu casually glanced at Jing Yu next to him, "I happened to meet Ning Anhou, and I have already copied the "University" twenty times that you punished me this morning, so I will leave it to you." You."

He turned around and asked the little eunuch to take out the homework from the box, took a thick stack of rice paper and handed it to Jing Yu, and said calmly: "You count it, exactly twenty times."

Jing Yu didn't look at Bai Jinfu's face, took the homework from him directly, rolled up the paper, carried it behind his back without even reading it, and said, "I'll take it back and read it."

"..." Yes, he can act better than him, Bai Jinfu was silent for a while, and handed over the cold brass hand stove that he had been holding in his arms all this time, "By the way, I'll return this to you too, thank you. "

"What is this?" Jing Yu frowned, raised his eyes to look at Bai Jinfu strangely and asked, "This is not mine, why does His Highness thank me?"

Bai Jinfu was taken aback, "Didn't you send someone to give me this hand stove?"

Jing Yu stared at the hand stove in the armrest of Bai Jin thoughtfully, "No, I have never sent anything to His Highness."

Bai Jinfu: "..." If it wasn't Jing Yu, then who else?

At this time, Han Yucheng, who had been listening to them talking for a long time, said suddenly, "I asked them to deliver it."

Bai Jinfu turned his head and looked at Han Yucheng in surprise, "Huh?"

Han Yucheng raised his lips, looked at Bai Jinfu with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "I heard that His Royal Highness was punished for copying homework in Zishan Hall, thinking that the weather is cold and his hands are easily frozen and he can't write well, so it makes people I sent a hand stove over there, why, didn’t the person who sent the hand stove say that I sent it?”

After Bai Jinfu listened, he withdrew his hand stretched out in front of Jing Yu, and chuckled lightly like self-deprecating, "So that's it, then it seems that I misunderstood, I thought it was Ning Anhou who felt that I was punished too severely. , I was so sorry that I sent the stove to me, unexpectedly, it was Xiang Han who gave it to me, so the person I should thank is Xiang Han."

Han Yucheng said: "It's just a small gadget, why not thank you, if His Highness thinks it's useful, then keep it, as it can warm His Highness's hands, it's the best use of everything."

"Han Xiang's kindness, then I will be disrespectful. Thank you, Han Xiang." Bai Jinfu calmly handed the stove to the little eunuch behind him, and said, "Take it carefully."

Jing Yuruo glanced back and forth between Bai Jinfu and Han Yucheng meaningfully, his eyebrows moved, and then he turned his head silently.

"I won't send the two adults out of the palace, you two can do what you want." Bai Jinfu nodded slightly in greeting, then walked past the two with his head held high, and walked towards his residence without looking sideways.

As soon as Bai Jinfu walked away, Jing Yu and Han Yucheng continued to walk side by side towards the palace gate.

"Han Xiang seems to have known His Highness the Seventh Prince for a long time." The night cast a shadow over Jing Yu's face, and the man said calmly, "Isn't it my illusion?"

"Naturally, it's not longer than the time Your Highness has known Ning Anhou." Han Yucheng said freely, "But although we haven't known each other for long, I feel that we are very close to each other after getting along with His Highness Seven."

Jing Yu said: "I suddenly remembered that Han Xiang told me last time that we are also people who are played and applauded by others. I don't know what Han Xiang said?"

Han Yucheng glanced sideways at Jing Yu, and suddenly let out a short laugh from his throat, "So the Marquis of Ning An hasn't understood what's going on?"

Jing Yu turned his head and looked at Han Yucheng coldly, "Why don't you ask Han Xiang to explain my doubts for me?"

Han Yucheng shook his head, thinking it was ridiculous, and then said jokingly: "You always thought that I brought him to the emperor to meet each other, but you were wrong, he was the one who found me first, a long time ago , he secretly contacted me and asked me to find a way to help him recover his identity. How innocent and easy to deceive do you think he is? In fact, he is the most cunning fox, and we are all used by him to achieve The tool for the purpose, after so many years of ups and downs in the officialdom, was blinded by such a seemingly innocent face, don't you think it's funny?"

Jing Yu looked away, "We people? You mean, not only you and me, but also others?"

Han Yucheng smirked slightly: "Isn't this obvious? Do you think that if they hadn't reached a certain consensus long ago, with Jiang Shuheng's fiery temper, he would have agreed with me to bring someone before the emperor? There is another person, You would never have guessed who it would be. You would never have imagined that on the day he met the emperor, our master national teacher, who was so easy to hide his real body, would personally go to the palace to help him speak well in front of the emperor, right? This scheming trick , far deeper than you and I imagined."

Jing Yu's pupils shrank imperceptibly, "So, it's not that you found him, but he found you first. In fact, you already knew his identity?"

Han Yucheng said calmly, "Not bad."

"You..." Jing Yu took a deep breath quietly, "How did you determine his identity?"

The corners of Han Yucheng's mouth were slightly bent, and he put his hands on his belt, calmly said: "I don't know about the others, but you should know that I am a strict person, and it is about the royal blood that cannot be ambiguous. Only once can we confirm whether what he said is true."

Verify everything that needs to be verified, which naturally includes the birthmark on the butt... So he...

Jing Yu was silent for a long time after listening, then suddenly stopped, turned around and looked directly at Han Yucheng, and asked coldly, "Why did you tell me this?"

Han Yucheng also stopped, with a kind face and a gentle smile: "Ning Anhou, I know that you are an upright person, and I really can't bear you to be deceived again and again, so I tell you all this. Now you already know him." If you don’t know the true face, then don’t be obsessed with it anymore, for a gentleman like you, you should keep yourselves clean, and you shouldn’t associate with people who are full of lies.”

The reason why Han Yucheng took the initiative to tell Jing Yu about these things was because he felt that there were already enough people around Bai Jinfu to help him. If another Jing Yu was added, Bai Jinfu's wings would become even worse. It will get harder and harder, and sooner or later it will be out of his control.

And Jing Yu is an honest gentleman who can't rub his eyes. He is proud and arrogant, and hates being deceived by others the most. As long as he knows who Bai Jinfu is, he will never have any contact with him in the future.

If you want to put a bird in a cage, the feathers that can be used for flight on the bird's body can naturally be cut off one by one, so that it can no longer fly.

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for pointing me out." Jing Yu twitched the corners of his mouth, but his eyes were cold, and there was no smile at all. "After listening to Mr. Han's words today, it was like enlightenment, and I benefited a lot."

It turned out that when he thought that Bai Jinfu left without saying goodbye because he was disheartened, and was anxiously looking for people in those days, in the eyes of Han Yucheng, Jiang Shuheng, and Ji Fengyao, it was just a joke.

-

As soon as the first month is over, there will be a waking of insects and a sudden thunderclap, and it will be the time when all things will recover.

After spring, the temperature is gradually warming up, people are not as lazy as in winter, and more and more people are going out for a walk.

On this day, all the concubines in the harem came to Concubine Han to pay their respects. Emperor Longqing also went to the Concubine's Palace after he came down from the imperial court. It was already the age when it was time to get married, so Emperor Longqing suddenly had a thought.

These days after the Seventh Prince returned to the palace, Emperor Longqing has been thinking about one thing. If he sends Bai Jinfu to Baiyue as a hostage in the future, there is no one or anything in Daliu who can control him. The father-son relationship with Bai Jinfu is weak and almost non-existent. Bai Jinfu's biological mother died early and has no siblings. Sending such a prince as a proton is tantamount to cutting off everything between him and Daliu. It is not yet known whether he is looking for Daliu in his heart.

After all, there have been many cases in history where princes went to other countries as hostages and were proclaimed kings.

Therefore, Emperor Longqing has been thinking about how to restrain Bai Jinfu, so that he can obey his orders even if he is in Baiyue territory. Listening to the concubines chatting today, Emperor Longqing suddenly had a plan. In the future, he will leave his wife and children in Daliu. Presumably, for the safety of his wife and children, he will be obedient.

Emperor Longqing had an idea in his mind, so he coughed twice, and said slowly: "Speaking of the marriages of the emperor's grandchildren, I suddenly thought that the seventh prince has also reached the age of marriage, and has not yet married."

Concubine Han said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the Seventh Prince was living among the people, and his adoptive mother was not good to him, which delayed the child's marriage."

Emperor Longqing nodded, "One marriage is done, and two marriages are also done, so why not take this opportunity to choose a concubine for the emperor's grandson to settle the marriages of other princes and grandchildren who have reached the marriageable age, and be quiet for a while." It's winter, and now it's spring, so it's time for the palace to have some happy events."

"Then the palace is quite busy now. Except for the grandson of the emperor and the seventh prince, the concubines remember that King Shen is also coming of age, so there are three happy events." Concubine Han nodded and said, "The concubine will let the family have Ministers who have girls of marriageable age, send the portraits of the girls to the palace, and let the emperor look at them before deciding on the candidates for the concubine and concubine."

Emperor Longqing pondered and said: "I am not the kind of unenlightened elder. The children's marriage has to be their own choice. Let them look at the portraits and choose. The marriage of the eldest grandson of the emperor is more complicated than others. The marriage of King Shen is left to you, the noble concubine, to handle it yourself."

"The concubine obeys the order." Concubine Han nodded in response, and then asked with concern, "What about the Seventh Prince's marriage?"

Emperor Longqing said: "It's enough hard work for you to manage two marriages. Let Concubine Shu handle the Seventh Prince's marriage."

Han Yucheng had communicated with his sister Han Guifei a long time ago, and Han Guifei had long wanted to find an opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Bai Jinfu, but unfortunately there was no suitable excuse, and now Emperor Longqing wanted to choose a concubine for Bai Jinfu. It's an excellent opportunity, in order to win over Bai Jinfu better in the future, the seventh concubine must be someone close to the Han family.

Concubine Han Guifei didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she looked at Emperor Longqing and said with a smile: "Where is the emperor, the concubine doesn't have to work hard, these concubines should share for the emperor, the concubine is young, and it is not wrong to take care of the marriage of the seventh prince." Where will I be tired, but Sister Concubine Shu has been in poor health, the imperial doctor once told her to rest, it is better not to make Sister Shu work hard."

Emperor Longqing frowned, ignored Han Guifei for a while, and suddenly turned his head to look at Concubine Shu who was sitting on the left seat below, "Concubine Shu, I remember that Jing Yu seems to have reached the age of marriage, right?"

Concubine Shu hurriedly got up and replied: "Go back to the emperor, that's right."

Emperor Longqing stroked his beard and said, "Jing Yu's parents died early, and you, as an aunt, will inevitably have to worry more about his marriage. Then, why not take advantage of this opportunity to choose a concubine for the Seventh Prince, and help Jing Yu's marriage?" Let's settle the marriage together."

Concubine Shu glanced at Concubine Han, who was full of unwillingness, lowered her eyebrows, bowed her knees to Emperor Longqing and said, "This concubine obeys the order, and on behalf of Jing Yu, I would like to thank the emperor for his concern."

-

The marriage of a prince and two grandchildren was going to be held at once, and the news spread quickly inside and outside the palace.

Because the prince and grandson Zhengfei were chosen this time, the candidate could only be selected from the official ladies with a certain status. If you are satisfied, let the portrait be sent to the palace for selection.

A few days later, after collecting all the portraits of the daughters to be selected, they were first sent to Concubine Han's palace. After Concubine Han looked at it once, she invited Duan Wuji and Duan Heng to visit her palace.

When the two arrived at Concubine Han's palace, the portraits of the girls were neatly hung on the screen. The women in the portraits were all young and beautiful, with graceful bodies, dignified and charming, fat around the body, swallows and thin, and there were all types. The imperial concubine was afraid that the two young men would not be able to let go of her presence, so she changed her clothes and left first, letting Duan Wuji and Duan Heng look at the portraits and choose the one they were satisfied with.

Duan Wuji is not interested in any of the women in these portraits. He grew up in the royal family and is used to intrigue. The royal family is so indifferent even to the relationship between flesh and blood, let alone the relationship between husband and wife, so for him, marrying a wife is nothing but He just needs a woman to help him take care of the house, as long as he is virtuous and sensible. When he ascends the throne in the future, he won't be able to get what kind of woman he wants.

But he suddenly noticed that Duan Heng stayed on a portrait, seemed to be staring at the woman on the portrait for a long time, and walked up to him with great interest and asked, "Who is she?"

Duan Heng came back to his senses, glanced at Duan Wuji with some guilty conscience, and said falteringly: "It's... the third girl from the Earl's House of Kang Cheng."

Duan Wuji raised his eyebrows clearly, stared at Duan Heng with sharp eyes and asked, "Do you like him?"

Duan Heng lowered his head and said humbly: "No."

"Then you've been staring at his portrait?" Duan Wuji looked carefully at the introduction in small characters next to the portrait, and said disapprovingly, "How can a concubine be the concubine of King Shen of yours? If you really like her She, wait for the opportunity to accept her as a side concubine in the future."

"Side concubine?" Duan Heng raised his head abruptly and shook his head twice, panic flashed across Qingjun's face, "No, a cold and pure person like her would never be willing to be a concubine!"

Duan Wuji stared at Duan Heng's eyes gradually deepened, Duan Heng always had a submissive look in front of him, obeying his words, but now he dared to refute him because of such a woman, a trace of coldness emerged from the corner of Duan Wuji's mouth He sneered, "You still say you don't like it, you don't like it when you're so nervous? Duan Heng, I really can't tell, you're still a lover."

Duan Heng's expression froze, "I don't, I really don't."

Duan Wuji snorted coldly, turned his back to Duan Heng, and said leisurely: "Since you don't like her, then I'll tell Concubine Han later that I want to take her as a side concubine. You should have no objection, right?" ?”

Duan Heng stared at the back of Duan Wuji's head in disbelief, clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with repressed resentment, but when Duan Wuji turned his head, he quickly lowered his eyes to cover up, Duan Wuji Ji turned around and patted Duan Heng on the shoulder, and said jokingly, "I'm just kidding, why would I rob you of a woman, we are best brothers."

The corner of Duan Heng's mouth twitched stiffly.

Not long after, Concubine Han went back and forth, asking how the two portraits looked. Duan Wuji casually pointed to a few portraits, and said that among these women, the emperor would help him decide who should be the grandson concubine. Heng didn't point to a single portrait, only saying that everything was decided by the emperor's grandfather.

Duan Wuji watched coldly from the sidelines, and noticed that Duan Heng obviously hesitated when he passed by the portrait of the third girl from Kang Chengbo's family, and the corner of his mouth drew an arc of unknown meaning.

The portraits of the girls were first seen by Duan Wuji and Duan Heng in Concubine Han's palace, and then sent to Concubine Shu's palace.

Concubine Shu guessed that Jing Yu might have a grudge because Bai Jinfu had concealed his identity from him, so she sent the palace servants to invite the two of them to her palace at the same time, hoping to take this opportunity to let the two settle down and reconcile as before.

Bai Jinfu didn't know that Concubine Shu had asked Jing Yu to enter the palace together, but as soon as he walked outside the gate of Concubine Shu's palace, he saw Jing Yu coming from another direction, so embarrassed that he really wanted to turn around and leave.

But Jing Yu didn't seem to notice Bai Jinfu at all, walked in front of Bai Jinfu with a calm expression, first bowed his hands in a salute, and greeted lightly: "Your Highness the Seventh."

"Marquis Ning'an." Bai Jinfu could only nod his head, and entered Concubine Shu's palace with Jing Yu.

Concubine Shu saw the two of them coming in together, and hurriedly asked the palace servants to invite them to sit down and drink tea, and then ordered them to bring all the portraits and put them on the table, first smiled and said to Bai Jin: "You child, Your mother's appearance is just like your mother's, it's so outstanding, ordinary pretty girls will be compared to you standing next to you, I really can't pick out which one is suitable for you, you should come and see which one is there It suits your eyes."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Jing Yu, "Bo Fei also came to see, didn't you say that you already belonged to yourself, maybe the person you like is among the people in these paintings."

Jing Yu already has his own heart?Bai Jinfu immediately stopped drinking tea in his hands, and looked at Jing Yu with burning eyes, trying to find clues from the man's expression.

"It's gone." Under Bai Jinfu's gaze, Jing Yu took a sip of tea without changing his expression, then put down the teacup, raised his eyes to meet Bai Jinfu's inadvertently, and said lightly, "When I found his feet After stepping on a few boats."

The author has something to say:

Ah Fu: How many boats are you on?who?So much!
