Yu Wenzhe took Ye Donglan into the inner room. The Four Treasures of the Study were neatly placed on the desk. The clean paper was rolled up by the wind blowing from the window. He pulled Ye Donglan to the desk. There was a book on the desk. The pages of the book are full of traces of annotations, and there is only one place where only lines are drawn, which presumably is what Yu Wenzhe said was puzzled.

Ye Donglan leaned over to look, and the two discussed it. When Yu Wenzhe was studying, there was no one around him, and everyone in the courtyard was cleared away, and the quiet needle drop could be heard in the study.

There is a locust tree in the yard, which is blooming in the early summer weather. There are strings of small white flowers, and the fragrance is released with the wind.

In Yangcheng, his hometown, almost everyone has a pagoda tree. The trunk is not thick, but it grows very tall. The flowers on the top cannot be reached with a long sickle standing on the roof, and the flowers are often left to fall. It fell to the ground, and those poultry that walked on the ground were cheap.

The pagoda trees in Yu Wenzhe's courtyard are very thin, and they are not considered tall. I don't know if it is because the palace's pavilions are too tall.

"Prince, how old is this locust tree?"

Ye Donglan had a strange nostalgia for the locust tree, so he couldn't help asking.

Yu Wenzhe looked out the window following Ye Donglan's line of sight, and was also dazzled by the white Huai Huai, and replied, "It's been nearly three years. At that time, I just recovered from a serious illness, and I could only taste some light food. I made Sophora japonica porridge, and I found it fragrant and delicious, with a familiar taste, so I ordered someone to plant a tree in this yard." Seeing Ye Donglan's dull expression, Yu Wenzhe raised his eyebrows and asked , "But is there something wrong?"

"It's not wrong." Ye Donglan shook his head, with a faint smile on his lips, "It's just that there are many pagoda trees in my hometown, which are rare in Beijing, and I suddenly feel homesick."

"Where is Donglan's house?"

"Yang City."

Yu Wenzhe frowned, as if he was thinking, "Is Yangcheng bordering the northern barbarian state? It sounds quite familiar."

Ye Donglan lowered his eyes, could he not be familiar, you picked up a person in Yangcheng, and almost died in Yangcheng, such a battlefield filled with yellow sand, such a tragic battlefield horn, how can you forget it.

Ye Donglan remembered Jiang Shu's exhortation, restrained his emotions, and answered Yu Wenzhe's words.

"Yes, General Xiaojiang has been stationed in Yangcheng these years, and Yangcheng is considered a fortress near the northern border. It is normal for the prince to hear about it."

"Ah."

Yu Wenzhe responded, and the digression between the two had come to an end. They continued to look down at the scroll in their hands, but were disturbed by the voices outside.

"Brother Huang!" A young and clear female voice came from the courtyard, and there seemed to be a kind voice behind her reminding her to slow down.

Before Ye Donglan came back to his senses, a girl had already thrown herself into Yu Wenzhe's arms, "Brother Huang!"

Concubine Shu followed in and scolded the girl with a smile, "Miaoyin, get up quickly, how old is the girl and she still doesn't know how to measure herself."

Yuwen Miaoyin pouted and stood up, "But haven't I been hugged by the emperor since I was a child?"

"It will be different when you grow up." Concubine Shu nodded her eyebrows, and looked at Yu Wenzhe with a smile, "Zhe'er, concubine mother heard that your companion is entering the palace today, so I came to see it."

Yu Wenzhe got up and saluted Concubine Shu, "I have seen my concubine mother." He helped Concubine Shu to the table and sat down, and then raised his hand to call Ye Donglan over, "My child thought that it was not appropriate to see foreign ministers in the harem, so I didn't bring my concubine with me." He's going to bother."

Ye Donglan came to his senses and greeted the ceremony, "I have seen the imperial concubine and the princess, and I have seen the princess."

Concubine Shu had no pretensions, so she let Ye Donglan calm down, looked at him for a while, and smiled approvingly, "Okay, he looks like he has some knowledge, and I'm not afraid of letting him get into bad habits by accompanying Zhe'er to study knowledge."

Ye Donglan bowed, "It's a great honor for Donglan to be able to read with the prince."
