When Tan Yushu went back, the boy had already set up the carriage for him.

No matter what he is now, he is also a third-rank official, and it would be too cheap to take a mule cart, so Hu Chunniang bought a few more horses.

Enter the house, take off the fox fur, put on a formal grand court dress, and dress right in front of the mirror.

Looking at the figure in the mirror, he couldn't help raising his hand to help the brim of his hat, and then he was stunned.

It seems that something is changing quietly, that kind of change is both dangerous and fatal, and he makes a quick judgment to let him pinch off these signs of instability as soon as possible, but he is surprisingly lazy, eager to try, and enjoys it.

The lamp suddenly exploded into a flower, and the sparkle in Tan Yushu's eyes flashed for a moment, before returning to calm, he picked up the wat board, unfurled his clothes and went out.

After the third watch, the parade people had gradually dispersed, and most of the horses and chariots on the road were officials from the court meeting.

It wasn't too early or too late for Tan Yushu to come, there were already officials standing outside the hall.Tan Yushu looked for his place while bowing to the passing officials.But during this time, I met a very interesting person.

Seeing him approaching, Deng Wenyuan immediately smiled and saluted.

Duzhi Langzhong belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, although Shangshu does not interfere with the affairs of the Ministry, but in name, Tan Yushu is Deng Wenyuan's real chief, who knows who is really embarrassed.

Tan Yushu smiled and returned the courtesy slightly. There was nothing unusual on his face, but it made Deng Wenyuan even more uneasy.

Facts are unpredictable, Tan Yushu was an insignificant military general a few months ago, who would have thought that he would meet a divine monk, and then get the joy of His Majesty, and the speed of his promotion is so exaggerated.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the backer behind Tan Yushu is His Majesty, and his official career will only be more magnanimous in the future. He accidentally offended him, what should I do!

Considering that they are in the same line as Master Xiang, this person shouldn't be too embarrassing for him, right?

Tan Yushu didn't let him go without the slightest disturbance, but he had a new understanding of Mr. Deng in his heart: he was able to bend and stretch.

Slightly smiled: It's not too hard to be too difficult, but it's okay~

Pilgrimage begins soon.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the ministers pay respects.After paying homage to the emperor, go to the prime minister's mansion to pay homage to the prime minister. After paying homage to the prime minister, to the chief officer.

Not only Tan Yushu will attend this palace banquet, but also Hu Chunniang.Concubines and concubines in the harem set up banquets in the palace, and the wives of each mansion went to the banquet to pay homage.

So after seeing each other, Tan Yushu did not invite others to have a banquet together, but came back to meet Chunniang Hu.

Hu Chunniang had already finished dressing up, with a solemn expression on her face. Although she couldn't see anything on her face, Tan Yushu knew that his mother must be very nervous now, so she comforted her: "Mother, don't be afraid. After entering the palace, stay with the prime minister's wife more often. The prime minister Madame often enters the palace, and this time the banquet is hosted by Concubine Shu, she can take care of you."

The empress had passed away early, and the throne had been vacant all the time. The major ceremonies in the palace were presided over by the four concubines with the highest status in the harem in turn.Among them, Concubine Shu is the prime minister's daughter-in-law, so entrusting the prime minister's wife to take care of his mother is perfect.

"I know, I know……"

Hu Chunniang twisted the handkerchief to ease the tension in her heart, and comforted herself: Once born and second time, there will be more days like this in the future, how can you be so cowardly!

Repeatedly reviewing the etiquette in the palace in his mind, he took small steps dignifiedly.

After helping his mother into the carriage, he was about to go to his own carriage when he heard a familiar voice: "Yulang! Are you going to the palace banquet? Let's go together~"

As soon as he turned around, he saw Yuan Ning's carriage parked in front of his house, raising the curtain to look at him.

Tan Yushu hurriedly bowed: "I have met the son of the world."

Yuan Ning jumped out of the car with a smile, and grabbed his hand: "Don't be too polite~"

Tan Yushu smiled, withdrew his hand calmly, took a step back and bowed.

Yuan Ning's eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he stretched out his hand into the car, and a woman stepped out of the car.

This woman has a delicate appearance and a gentle expression. Judging by the uniform on her body, she must be the imperial concubine.

Tan Yushu hurriedly saluted, "I've seen the concubine."

Yuan Ning smiled and patted Shizi Concubine's hand: "It's very inconvenient for the old lady to enter the palace for the first time, so let Jiannei go with the old lady and lead the way for the old lady."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to Tan Yushu: "Come to Yulang, get in the car!"

This is not appropriate...

Just as Tan Yushu was about to resign, the concubine Shizi lowered her head docilely and took orders to go to Hu Chunniang's carriage.

Tan Yushu had no choice but to get in the car, and smiled at Yuan Ning, but he always felt strange in his heart.

Is it really appropriate to drive the imperial concubine down and let him get in the car?

Sitting in the car, Yuan Ning tilted his head to look at his drooping eyebrows and gentle side face, his eyes became deeper and deeper.

When it came to the palace gate, this embarrassing situation finally came to an end.

As soon as Tan Yushu arrived at the palace banquet, he went to the prime minister to say hello, while Yuan Ning came to the right minister Zheng Xingyan to gossip.

Yuan Ning has a bad relationship with Prime Minister Song Ming. In Tan Yushu's imperial examination, Yuan Ning participated in the scientific examination under the name of "Yuan Sujie". It seemed to be an interesting incident, but it actually embarrassed Song Ming.

The scientific examination is such a serious matter, but it is easy to insert a person during the examination. It is conceivable whether the scientific examination presided over by Song Ming is tricky.

Although it was resolved lightly by Song Ming in the end, it is well known that the prime minister and Prince Gong's son are at odds.

But because of this, Prime Minister Yuan Ning admired Prince Yuan Ning very much, and even married his daughter to her, who was the concubine Shi Zi just now.

Tan Yushu originally had a good reputation on the "Qingliu" side, but after a period of "collude with traitors and flatter the emperor", he has already belonged to the first-class "Song Party", so the people on the right side just glanced at him , snorted and looked away.

Tan Yushu was used to it, but Yuan Ning and the people on the right side had a good chat, which made him feel relieved.

For some reason, he doesn't really want to face Prince Yuanning today...

Everyone arranges the seats, and when Emperor Jiaming arrives, the banquet will be held, poetry, wine, singing and dancing, very happy.

When the wine was half full, Emperor Jiaming stopped controlling the people and let them drink and enjoy themselves while he squinted his eyes to beat the time and watched the singing and dancing.

Although Emperor Jia Ming said so, because of the occasion, everyone dared not drink too much to prevent drunkenness, but a sudden exclamation came from the banquet.

Everyone followed the sound and saw that Prince Fu was so drunk that he even pulled a court lady into his arms for sex, and the audience was in an uproar.

Seeing that it was Prince Fu's son, Zheng Xingyan, the right chancellor, immediately scolded: "Your Majesty, why is your son so ignorant of words and deeds!"

Prince Fu's son became aroused from drinking, looked at the maid's slender waist, lost herself for a moment, and grabbed it.

Hearing the scolding, even if he was bold, he knew that he had caused trouble, so he immediately threw him away, and said with a sneer: "What did you say, Mr. Right, it is clear that this little bastard fell into my arms by himself. You see it, don't you?"

Hearing this, many ministers bowed their heads and dared not speak.

King Fu and Emperor Jiaming have the same mother, and the two brothers have a very good relationship.Emperor Jiaming had no sons, and in the future, the throne would either be passed on to King Fu, or he would adopt the son of King Fu as the crown prince, who would dare to offend the future emperor.

Seeing his son getting drunk and getting into trouble, King Fu was also surprised, and immediately pleaded with Emperor Jiaming: "Your Majesty, Yuan Ji is not such an unruly person, it must be this court lady who intends to seduce him, Your Majesty can learn from you!"

Because of this accident, the silk and bamboo singing and dancing stopped, and Emperor Jia Ming was also a little unhappy.But who let Fu Wang and his son be his beloved brother and nephew?

Emperor Jiaming always defended his weaknesses, so he waved his hands to make major incidents smaller: "Drag this servant who violated the palace rules out and stick him to death."

When the palace maid heard this, she trembled with fright, burst into tears, and repeatedly begged for forgiveness.

Fortunately, at this time, Liu Suibi, the hot-tempered imperial censor, couldn't sit still any longer. He threw his chopsticks on the table and knelt down and said, "It was Prince Fu who was rude first! If you want to speak of witness, the veteran is the witness!"

With him leading the way, several upright ministers immediately stood up and knelt down silently.

Seeing this situation, Prince Fu also winked, and immediately came out a few ministers to stand up to defend Prince Fu.

The two groups fought in full swing, only turning the palace banquet into a court hall.

Emperor Jia Ming was so annoyed that he was rubbing his head and was about to stop drinking, when a series of "ding ding dong dong" sounds suddenly came from the hall, and the whole hall fell silent.

Everyone followed the sound and saw a string of beads collapsing all over the floor. Tan Yushu held his wrist in astonishment, and immediately stepped forward to bow down.

Seeing Tan Yushu's face, Emperor Jiaming's mood suddenly eased a little, and the matter of the debate in the hall also upset him, so he changed the subject: "Tan Aiqing, what's wrong with you?"

Tan Yushu hurriedly pleaded guilty: "Your Majesty, forgive me! In order to ward off evil spirits, I begged for a string of consecrated bracelets at the Efa Temple. I don't think that just now, this bracelet broke by itself! I am terrified, Your Majesty forgive me!"

When Emperor Jiaming listened, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.

How could the Buddhist beads that had been consecrated in the Erfa Temple break by themselves for no reason? They must have bumped into something unclean!

Now the truth came to light, the slaves in the palace absolutely did not dare to openly seduce the prince at the palace banquet, this child Yuan Ji would not be so rebellious, why are they so abnormal?That must have been an evil move!

Thinking about the fact that Lu Meiren also suffered from evil spirits a few days ago, this must be the reason!

Thinking of the reason for evil spirits, Emperor Jiaming suddenly felt a little anxious, and immediately said: "I don't think the lovers will lie to me. The reason why they insist on their own opinions must be true."

"There must be evil spirits causing disasters and disturbing people's eyes and ears. That's why everyone's eyes are confused. Tan Aiqing's bracelet blessed by the eminent monks of Efa Temple broke for no reason!"

There was an uproar in the hall.

When Liu Suibi heard this, he became angry, it was clear that Prince Fu's son was licentious and shameless, and the other treacherous men turned black and white, so why did they get involved with evil spirits?

This must be His Majesty's words of protection, and he immediately argued with reason: "Your Majesty! How can there be evil spirits in this forbidden courtyard of the palace, a place of dragon energy!" Turning his head and glaring at Tan Yushu fiercely: "Master Tan doesn't do government affairs every day. , cultivating ghosts and gods?"

Tan Yushu: ...

He didn't know anything, he glanced innocently at Emperor Jia Ming, then kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

Emperor Jiaming had hated this Liu Suibi for a long time. Seeing him beating up his nephew and scaring the "cowardly" Tan Aiqing, he was so angry that he yelled: "Enough! This is the conclusion of this matter, the evil spirits in the palace are rampant , Tomorrow, we will perform religious rituals in the palace for seven days! This servant is unknown, so he will be reprimanded to leave the palace and become a monk in Jingyue nunnery."

The court lady who recovered her life immediately collapsed on the ground, thanking the emperor for her kindness.

After experiencing such a farce, the palace banquet couldn't go on any longer, so everyone dispersed.

Tan Yushu stayed at the end and began to pick up the beads on the ground. Suddenly, a big foot stepped on the bead he was going to pick up.

Looking up, Prince Fu's son Yuan Ji looked at him condescendingly. After seeing Tan Yushu's face clearly, Yuan Ji was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "You are very good. If you have a chance in the future, this son will definitely reward you~"

Tan Yushu smiled and got up to salute, Yuan Ji glanced at him, laughed and walked away.

After Yuan Ji left, Tan Yushu squatted down to pick up the beads without changing his expression.

One...two...twelve...one more!

A dense layer of cold sweat rose from Tan Yushu's back. There were thirteen beads in this string, and one was missing!

This bracelet is a mahogany bracelet that he bought casually when he saw the Buddhist beads on Chi Li when he was shopping with Chi Li. Now, if you go to the peddler to check, you should be able to find the same style. bead!

Although there may not be anyone who follows this clue to verify the authenticity of what he said, but I am not afraid of ten thousand, just in case!He can't leave the beads on the hall!

Tan Yushu's eyes quickly searched the hall, where did that one fall?Or was it picked up by someone?

Everyone left, and the palace servants came to urge him.

It would be too obvious to stay any longer, so Tan Yushu could only leave with a smile.

When no one is around, close your eyes and secretly blame yourself for being reckless today, you shouldn't have gotten involved...

Take a deep breath and slowly open it.

The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, now I can only go back and think of other ways, just in case.

When Tan Yushu strode out of the palace gate, Yuan Ning was still waiting for him.

When something like this happened in the front court, the banquet in the harem also stopped naturally. Hu Chunniang came out early and waited for him in the car.

Yuan Ning invited him to get in the car together, Tan Yushu restrained all his expressions and agreed with a smile.

In silence, Yuan Ning poked him suddenly, then spread his palms.

Tan Yushu was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: it turned out to be the last bead!

Immediately took back the bead, and bowed to Yuan Ning: "Thank you, my son! This thing has blocked a disaster, and it may be contaminated unknown. I will burn it when I go back."

"It should be burned~" Yuan Ning laughed.

But at the time of parting, she suddenly leaned into his ear and whispered softly: "Others say you are doing it for Yuanji, but I don't think so."

Tan Yushu glanced at him, smiled slightly, and turned to leave.

After getting out of the car, he twirled the last bead, secretly rejoicing in his heart that this bead fell into the hands of Prince Gong's son who had befriended him.

It's just that while rejoicing, a trace of doubt arises.

Since Prince Gong had no intention of embarrassing him, why did he hide this bead and make him anxious?

……

Back home, Hu Chunniang naturally asked about the previous court, and Tan Yushu just needed to collude with her, so he told her everything.

Hu Chunniang hurriedly got up and paced back and forth, but in the end she had no choice but to give up, and desperately grabbed his ear and whispered, "Don't meddle in other people's business next time!"

Tan Yushu was also afraid, and threw all the beads into the charcoal fire.

Emperor Jiaming couldn't see clearly from a distance, even if other people saw something wrong, now they are "dead without proof"!

Hu Chunniang also followed, and watched the beads burn into charcoal together before giving up, muttering quietly: "This may also be a good thing, the son of Prince Ruofu... will also miss your favor in the future."

Tan Yushu recalled Prince Fu's sinister face, and Prince Gong's half-smiling face. There was no expression on his face, but he stretched out his hand and crushed the burnt beads into ashes one by one.

……

Chi Li was holding a peach blossom branch in his hand. The peach blossom imitated by silk flowers would naturally not wither, and it was still as bright as yesterday, but Tan Yushu hadn't come for five days.

What are you doing?They celebrated the New Year in the Yong Dynasty for five days in a row?

The scene of parting with Tan Yushu that day flashed in his mind. Chi Li was a little angry at first, but looking at the peach blossom in his hand, the corners of his lips curled up involuntarily.

Speaking of which, there was something really wrong with Tan Yushu that day. He gave him flowers and stared at him in a daze.

Especially when he was next to the Tiannv team, he almost thought that Tan Yushu was going to kiss him...

With a hot face, he unconsciously covered the corners of his lips.

Wait... Kiss him?

A thunderstorm instantly exploded in my mind!

Is it possible that Tan Yushu really wants to kiss him?

Chi Li immediately jumped up and circled back and forth in the meditation room.

Think about it carefully, Tan Yushu is really very wrong!

Not to mention giving him flowers and wanting to kiss him, at the very beginning of shopping, Tan Yushu held his hand with an excuse.

What did you say that he was afraid of getting lost? Would a normal person be worried that a man as big as him would get lost?

At this moment, Chi Li selectively ignored how he crossed the road while holding Tan Yushu's hand.

When I figured this out, details that I hadn't noticed before suddenly came to my mind.

Tan Yushu peeled chestnuts for him, fed him dragon fruit, fed him small persimmons, took advantage of him by giving him a massage, and seduced him by dressing up in front of him...

Chi Li took a breath——

Could it be that Tan Yushu has a crush on him? ! !

Hiss - this is not impossible...

Chi Li finds the mirror and touches the tattoo on his neck.

It seems that apart from this flaw, this face is really handsome!It's not impossible that Tan Yushu would like it!

His face became hot, and Chi Li sat down cross-legged and clenched his fists.

What should I do, the two of them were originally two "ruthless" partners, but now one of them is in love!

Chi Li pursed his lips, hum, do you want to reject him?

But thinking of Tan Yushu's pitiful appearance after being rejected, Chi Li's heart softened again.

How about...or agree to try?

Chi Li's face became hotter all of a sudden, but...but...

But after a long time, nothing came out.

Anyway, he is single now, and he cannot always be alone in the future. If Tan Yushu wants to chase him, then there is no need for him not to give him a chance...

Trying to press down the arc of the corner of his lips, Chili suddenly became angry again——

Then why didn't Tan Yushu come to see him for five days!Is this the attitude of chasing people!

But after thinking about it, it may also be shyness, the ancients were reserved~

Chi Li instantly smiled and forgave Tan Yushu.

But soon Chili became irritable again——

Then Tan Yushu has always been so reserved, how long will he be reserved!Will they be buried together on the day they are buried?

With Tan Yushu's physique, he may not be able to survive him. After his death, wouldn't he be at the mercy of Tan Yushu?

Think about it at his funeral, before the soil was covered, Tan Yushu grinned grimly and buried his coffin in his ancestral grave...

unacceptable!

……

The weather was rare, and Brother Tan was feeding the cat under the eaves when suddenly a fiery figure rushed out and took the cat away.

Brother Tan Jiu: ...

"Live... abbot? Where are you going with the cat!"

"Send the cat."

Brother Tan Jiu: ...

This cat actually belongs to their master?
