It's cold to bid farewell to the goddess

As the night fell, the fifth prince Yong Dan and Tian Liyi, a senior scholar of the Dian Pavilion, withdrew from the East Nuan Pavilion one after the other.

Inside, Emperor Jinglong still left the prince to talk to Lin Ruhai.

As soon as he walked out of the sight of the eunuch outside the gate of Dongnuange, Fifth Prince Yongdan slowed down his pace, waited for Tian Liyi to catch up, and said with a smile: "Uncle tricked me so much."

Tian Liyi raised his slightly protruding belly, sighed and said, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

The fifth prince Yong Dan sneered and said: "It was you who made an agreement with me that day to recommend my father-in-law Li Shangdao as the censor of Lianghuai patrol salt; today you are also capricious and praised Xiao Shiqi that master is a good talent--uncle is both right and wrong. Know how to be an official."

Tian Liyi was in a high position and was a powerful man, and even the crown prince was polite and courteous when talking to him, but now he was being harassed by the fifth prince, a junior, and felt displeased.He didn't show anything on his face, he laughed and said slowly: "It's because your Highness misunderstood me..."

In terms of blood relationship, in fact, Tian Liyi and the prince are also ordinary uncles and nephews.It's just that the prince Yongzhan was granted the East Palace upon landing, and lost his mother since childhood, so he was deeply loved by Emperor Jinglong.It can be said that the prince has reported everything to Emperor Jinglong since he was a child.Emperor Jinglong's protection and education of the prince was all-round, which also greatly weakened the relationship between the prince and the mother clan.

What's more, the crown prince is the crown prince of the country, and now the emperor is in his prime, if Tian Liyi wants to associate with the crown prince, there are many taboos.And as Emperor Jinglong got older, the emperor's mind became more unpredictable.In the past few years, Tian Liyi has felt more and more that he needs the help of people around the emperor - the ready-made concubine is De Guifei, his younger sister.

Although the prince is honorable, without his mother, for Tian Liyi, getting close to the prince will bring more harm than alienation.

Besides, the East Palace didn't intend to echo him at all.

Every year, Tian Liyi gave the East Palace and Concubine De Gui the same value of gifts, but this time the gifts were quite different.The return gift from the prince was just according to the order, but it was much richer from the concubine De Gui - the desire to befriend him was strong.

Relying on this kind of thing requires mutual consent to be happy.

Tian Liyi's preference to help the fifth prince Yongdan was not out of emotional preference, but out of consideration of his own interests.

Facing the questioning of the Fifth Prince Yongdan at this moment, Tian Liyi explained with a smile: "His Seventeenth Prince was just a child's joke, but the Emperor immediately summoned Lin Ruhai after hearing it—it really is the Seventeenth Prince who is deeply loved by the Emperor." reason?"

The fifth prince Yong Tan's face was gloomy, his father was always partial, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"If you look at it that way, the emperor's thinking is too simple." Although Tian Liyi has always kept his words three-pointed, now he broke up with Yongtan and understood, "Then Lin Ruhai, a prince who has been attacked by his ancestors for five generations, he His father was also a person highly trusted by the emperor - he himself was upstanding, a dignified family background, and he married a lady from the Duke's mansion. Besides, he was young, only in his thirties, which was the time for him to be capable. Do you think Think about it, how many useful officials like Lin Ruhai are there in Wenwuli of the Manchu Dynasty?"

The fifth prince was forever silent.

Tian Liyi said slowly: "This Lin Ruhai was originally someone who was in the heart of the emperor. The childish jokes of His Royal Highness the Seventeenth were just an introduction. Without this introduction, Lin Ruhai would be like an awl hidden in a cloth pocket. It will come out." He is an old fox, and after listening to Emperor Jing Long's voice, he knew that the matter had been decided, and it would be useless to say anything more.

"But if there is no introduction by Xiao Shiqiu, this person surnamed Lin may not be able to snatch the food in our bowl." The fifth prince Yong Dan regretted: "The Lianghuai patrol salt censor, half of the salt government It's all on this, I missed it this time, when will I have such a good opportunity..." The father can't count on it, and the good ones are reserved for the prince and others.

"What's your highness so anxious?" Tian Liyi laughed, "Li Fuchen's huge corruption in Lianghuai can only be caused by one person at a time. It's deeply rooted, and I'm afraid the whole place is full of corruption. Lin Ruhai left alone, It's hard to say whether we can 'get out of the silt without being stained'."

The fifth prince, Yong Dan, looked at Tian Liyi with admiration, and thought, this uncle has been an official for [-] years, and his colleagues have fallen several times, but he is the only one who can stand still, really tricky.

Thinking about it, Yong Dan also smiled, "It's still uncle's thoughtful thinking. Besides, the inspector of salt and censor is changed every year, let's see him climb up... When he is unable to catch up and is removed by the emperor, he will naturally die." I know it hurts to fall!"

Tian Liyi didn't like him being too subtle, but he just patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Your Highness is really a child to teach, amazing, amazing."

The two had their own thoughts, but both smiled, and returned to the pattern of one in front and one in back, leaving the palace and returning home.

Within a few days, the imperial court issued the decree to appoint Lin Ruhai to inspect the salt and censor of the Lianghuai River.

Yongchen asked for the date when Lin Ruhai and his family would leave Beijing, but it was the day after "Xiaohan".

"Sir, it's thousands of miles from the capital to Gusu, and you'll be on the road this year." When Yongchen thought that Goddess Daiyu was going thousands of miles away, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable, "Why don't you leave after the festival? "

Lin Ruhai said helplessly: "Your Highness, there is nothing that can be changed about the appointment date selected by the imperial court."

Yong Chen's eyes widened, although he was still a small bean, he had a heroic spirit that was fearless, "How do you know that you can't change it if you haven't tried it?"

Seeing this, Lin Ruhai looked like he rolled up his sleeves and went to the emperor to change the imperial decree, and hurriedly said: "This promotion is a great favor from the emperor. The journey is far away, and I am willing to accept it."

Yong Chen thought to himself: Of course I know that you are happy, but I am not!

Seeing his gloomy face, Lin Ruhai thought that he was reluctant to give up the relationship between teachers and students, so he couldn't help being moved. It was rare for him to let go of the difference in status, and said in a gentle voice: "It is a great fate to have a teacher-student friendship with Your Highness for a year. After the minister left , but I hope that His Royal Highness will devote himself to learning and be ambitious. The so-called "black hair does not know how to study early, and Bai Shoufang regrets studying late"..."

As soon as Yong Chen heard that he came to persuade him to learn again, he immediately had one head and two big ones.He understood that Lin Ruhai's words were completely out of good intentions, because Lin Ruhai himself had benefited greatly from the imperial examination.By the time of Emperor Jinglong, the founding group of dignitaries who started their careers with military merits were all on the road of "transformation", switching from martial arts to martial arts.

Lin Ruhai herself belongs to the one who has successfully transformed and embarked on the road of prosperity; like the Jia family, it belongs to those who have no successors, and their unworthy descendants can only be defeated day by day.

It's just that Yongchen is the prince, and he doesn't have any urgent need for reading. The books he likes to read just look like the so-called "interest is the best teacher".However, Emperor Jinglong would not tell his sons what interest in reading, no matter how boring the ancient prose, he must be familiar with it and recite it.

Yong Chen said with a smile: "On the day Mr. leaves, I'm going to see him off." The topic of reading was diverted.

Lin Ruhai naturally would not refuse.

But Yongchen never expected that when he went back to Yichun Palace and told his mother and concubine, Xiaohan would not be allowed to leave the palace to see the Lin family off one day later.

"Mother Concubine, good Mother Concubine, dear Mother Concubine..." Yong Chen shook Concubine Shu's arm.

Concubine Shu smiled and nodded his forehead, and said: "Even if you call out the gods, it won't work."

Aunt Cai, who served Concubine Shu, said from the side: "The empress dowager will return to the palace one day after Xiaohan. At that time, everyone in the palace will be waiting to greet her—His Royal Highness really can't leave the palace this time."

"Grandma Huang is coming back?" Yong Chen was taken aback.

"Yes." Concubine Shu frowned slightly, with a slight sadness on her face, "Concubine Mu dare not let you go out now."

How could Yong Chen be someone who would give up easily—especially when it came to seeing the goddess Daiyu, he would never compromise!

He went directly to Emperor Jinglong to go with his son, and Chen Ming said, "Father, respect the teacher and teach your son. This is what you taught your son. I don't know when Master Lin will see you again. If your son doesn't give it away, I feel uneasy."

Emperor Jinglong raised his head from the thick pile of memorials, looked at him from under his eyelids, and said in a straight voice: "Don't bother. I will go to greet the queen mother when she returns to the palace. Be honest with me. Really, don't startle the Queen Mother."

Yongchen rolled his eyes, he didn't expect Emperor Jinglong to agree, he immediately approached with a smile when he heard the words, "Then the father and the emperor will allow his son to go to Lin's mansion one day earlier - it is considered to be seeing off Master Lin, but also Don't delay to welcome Grandma Huang."

Emperor Jing Long hissed, put down the vermilion pen, looked him in the eye, gritted his teeth and said: "You said you are such a thief, who is following?"

Yong Chen grinned and said: "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, father is wise and wise, son is naturally a bit of a thief..."

"Get lost." Emperor Jing Long couldn't wrap him around, and waved away him.

Yong Chen knew that this was his agreement, he thanked En happily, and walked out with a smile on his face.

"Wait..." Emperor Jing Long suddenly looked over again, stared at him suspiciously, and asked, "What treasure is hidden in your master Lin's house, so that you have to go there every day?"

Yong Chen took his time, "Master Lin's family has a collection of thousands of volumes, the so-called book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu..."

Emperor Jinglong immediately regretted calling him, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, get out."

On Xiao Han's day, Yong Chen left the palace and went to Lin's mansion again, this is his second visit to Lin's mansion.

Except for the gift that Concubine Shu helped him prepare, Yong Chen only managed to find a silver bracelet.

"There is nothing unusual about this bracelet. I wore it when I was a child. It blesses me to grow up to such a big age. Now that I am old, I don't need it; I just want to share this blessing with my sister..." Yong Chen said that The red silk cloth was opened, revealing a wide silver bracelet inside, the style is simple and simple, engraved with some runes to protect children's safety; speaking, it is not expensive, but this kind of intention is rare.

Jia Min glanced at her husband and said with a smile, "How can this be done?"

The couple still wanted to decline, but Yongchen had already walked to Daiyu who was sleeping peacefully in the cradle, and put the wide silver bracelet on her left wrist.

"It's a little bit bigger..." Yong Chen looked at it carefully, and laughed to himself again, "When my sister is two years older, it's just right to wear it."

He looked down and saw Daiyu sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, and thought: When she grows up, she probably won't remember that I put a bracelet on her.

For some reason, Yong Chen felt sore in his heart.

After Yongchen left, Jia Min hurriedly ordered someone to put away the wide silver bracelet that is still slightly bigger now, and at night, he had a private conversation with Lin Ruhai and joked, "Looking at the appearance of His Royal Highness Seventeen, it seems that I really want to have a younger sister..."

Lin Ruhai gave a "hmm" and said slowly, "Your Highness the Seventeenth wants a younger sister, and that's because he came from the palace. He's young, so he thinks about it. We are subjects, but we must never take it seriously... "

But he said that Yong Chen had left Lin's mansion, seeing that it was getting late, he didn't dare to delay, and went straight back to the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw an unfamiliar eunuch waiting inside the palace gate.

"Slave Zhao Dexi greets the Seventeenth Prince. His Royal Highness, you are back—the Empress Dowager is waiting at the Palace of Compassion."

Yongchen was taken aback, "Didn't you say Grandma Huang will come back tomorrow?"

Zhao Dexi lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, "That is to say, it happened by coincidence—Your Highness, please."
