The charcoal fire was clearly lit in the hall, but Wei Changning felt endless coldness, the quilt on her body was also cold, and her eyelids were heavy. She tried to open them, rubbed her head, and called Lin Xuan habitually.

She had a severe headache. After sitting up, she didn't hold out until Lin Xuan entered the room. She lay down and hugged the bedding. She felt a ball of anger rising in her throat. When she saw Lin Xuan, she opened her eyes and said, "I It seems that I have some headaches, you ask Shen Cong'an to come over."

The voice was weak, Lin Xuan saw that her face was flushed, and subconsciously reached out to touch it, it was really hot, she said in surprise: "Your Highness has a high fever, I will invite Dr. Shen to come over."

Wei Changning rubbed her head and responded. The high fever made her mouth dry and she wanted to drink water, but she didn't see Lin Xuan when she opened her eyes, so she lay back under the quilt. Someone hurried over and put a cold hand on her forehead. Touching it, she subconsciously grasped it, barely opened her eyes: "Water."

The queen was caught by her suddenly, she was stunned for a moment, seeing that the corners of her lips were burning, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken, so Jiang Ru brought a glass of warm water over.

The sick and dizzy person couldn't tell who the person in front of her was. After she drank a glass of water, she regained her senses. Shen Cong'an's voice came from outside the hall, and she only heard him say: "What's the rush? If you have a fever, don't tell me you're a bad old man."

Wei Changning regained his composure, his eyes were somewhat clear, and seeing the queen's worried face, he smiled at her, "It's probably because of the wind and cold."

In the middle of winter, it is common to catch wind and cold.The queen didn't care much, but the matter of returning to Beijing was delayed.

Shen Cong'an felt a little strange after taking the pulse. The person who was alive and kicking yesterday said that he was sick without any symptoms. Moreover, she had such a high fever, and she was so fierce that it scared him.He prescribed a prescription and asked the palace servants to make the medicine, and asked Lin Xuan if Chief Wei Ning had gone out yesterday.

Lin Xuan was in a hurry, and when he asked, she thought carefully for a long time, and replied: "Yesterday, His Highness did not leave the gate of the palace, nor did he go anywhere." She was busy going back to Chang'an City, so she wrote a letter and asked someone to send it back. Time to go outside the temple.

When asked this way, Shen Cong'an only thought that she was in poor health, and that the punishment in Dali Temple was the most tormenting, so he made the medicine himself, so he didn't think much about it.

*****

In Chang'an City, Junqin received the letter from Wei Changning and returned within a few days.

The words in the letter were a little irritable, talking about the lovesickness I hadn't seen for many days, Jun Jin's eyes were full, and his white fingertips brushed over the handwriting.Dispelling the heavy clouds in his eyes, he put the letter into the box.

At the bottom of the red box is the wife’s book. When she flipped it, her fingertips froze. She pulled out the wife’s book, and the candlelight was flowing beside her. She had kept this page for many years. significance.

With candlelight, burn this page of paper.

Like half a lifetime, it's over.

The next day, Jun Chen calculated that it would take two or three days to reach Chang'an City, and ordered someone to go down to prepare for His Highness's return.

Yuan An, who manages human relations with the outside world, has some difficulties at the end of this year. In previous years, the gifts were given in the name of the Marquis Mansion. This year is different. After the identity of the Fifth Highness is revealed, he has no mansion and no title, so he doesn't know what to do.

He begged Jun Chen to explain the matter thoroughly.

Jun Qin also thought about this, and said: "You don't need to do the annual ceremony, and you don't need to give it this year. I will order someone to arrange it."

Yuan An understood what she said, this year is special, and the annual ceremony must be arranged, and it must be sent in the name of Taifu.After he withdrew, Jun Qin went to court.

At the end of the year, Honglu Temple was busy with tributes from various countries, checking them one by one before handing them over to the treasury.Zhang Shaohua was involved in this matter for the first time, and he was so busy that he didn't know many things, so he had to ask Jun Chen for help.

Jun Qin didn't laugh at him either, and sent a few people from the Ministry of Rites over there.

Honglu Temple prepared the gift list and sent it to His Majesty.The emperor saw that the beginning of the gift list was konghou, and remembered that when he went to the emperor's mansion that day, he heard a song by Wei Changning, and suddenly felt that the instrument should match her, so he asked someone to send the konghou to the Taiji Hall first, and then sent it to the Taifu's mansion .

At the end of the court, Jun Qin had something to report to the emperor, so he stayed behind. Li Jin wanted to ask the emperor what he meant because of arranging a palace banquet.

Honglu Temple was ordered by His Majesty to work very diligently and arrange things in the shortest possible time. Zhang Shaohua personally sent the harp into the Taiji Hall.

Junqian's report was interrupted, and she suddenly saw Zhang Shaohua and the harp behind him, and instantly understood what the emperor was thinking. She curled her lips and looked at Li Jin opposite, her eyes showing surprise. The one Wei Changning bought with a lot of money is much stronger.

Knowing that this was a tribute, Li Jin walked over subconsciously, walked around the harp for a week, and looked at Zhang Shaohua: "Master Zhang, why is this?"

Zhang Shaohua didn't understand what she meant, and said bluntly: "I follow His Majesty's order to send this harp to the Tai Chi Hall."

The emperor stood up from the case and missed the exclamation in Li Jin's eyes. He didn't study musical instruments. He had listened to Jun Qin play it many years ago and knew that she was good at it. He asked her directly: "What do you think of this musical instrument?"

Jun Qin glanced past Li Jin, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has a unique vision, this is extraordinary." She is not exaggerating, those who can pay tribute to a big country are not ordinary, but konghou is rare, and there are not many attendees, suddenly seeing such exquisiteness, There must be a few words of exclamation.

There are very few nobles in Chang'an who can play konghou. Wei Changning is an expert, and so is Li Jin. Back then, she had learned it for many days to please the emperor's grandmother. Now that she sees such an instrument, she naturally wants to keep it for herself.

But the emperor didn't notice, he only thought of Wei Changning, and remembering that she was not in Beijing, he gave the konghou to Junqian smoothly. Although he didn't say it, Junqian understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "I haven't played it for many years, Her skills are not as good as His Highness Fifth, if she is here, she will definitely be able to play a song for His Majesty."

She spoke modestly, and Li Jin heard something bad, and a look of hostility flashed in his eyes. Before the emperor opened his mouth, he smiled and said: "Father, the konghou is rare, and my ministers know how to do it. Why don't you give it to your ministers on New Year's Eve?" Play a song for you at the banquet."

She smiled at Yan Yan, and stepped forward to climb the emperor's shoulders, just like an ordinary father and daughter get along with each other, the joy of family relationship makes people look sideways.

Zhang Shaohua, who came to give the harp off, listened to the meeting, and then realized that the emperor ordered him to come to give the harp to his younger brother, but Princess Chenyang didn't know how to do it, and wanted to snatch it halfway.

Seeing the situation of father's kindness and daughter's filial piety, he subconsciously opened his eyes to look at the face of the Taifu's mansion, seeing that she was as cold as usual, he secretly felt relieved.

The emperor was relieved by Li Jin's coaxing, looked at Jun Qin, and said, "What did the Taifu just report?"

Zhang Shaohua, who was on the sidelines, was stunned for a moment, and he just stopped him halfway?When he lowered his head, he couldn't help making a bitter face, his younger brother liked to coax the grand master, but he was afraid that he would not be able to make the emperor happy, only candied haws can be eaten for children who can cry, he sighed twice before leaving the Tai Chi hall.

It's not a big deal for Jun Yan, as long as the emperor knows, Konghou was intercepted halfway by Li Jin, and she was not annoyed, she bowed with a smile and then withdrew.Before leaving, Li Jin glanced at her and smiled slightly.

In the confrontation with Jun Qin, she has won twice in a row. Such a good start is enough to make her full of hope for the future.

Jun Yan's expression was cold, and when he stepped out of the Tai Chi Hall, Gao Yi greeted him. He was the one who delivered the decree to go to Honglu Temple. The emperor mentioned to him that His Highness Fifth Highness is good at kong hou. He thought it was for her. How could he expect to be slapped in the face so quickly? .

He whispered: "Teacher, don't worry too much."

"Servant Gao is thinking too much, go back and serve His Majesty well." Jun Qin looked as usual, and stepped down the imperial steps lightly.

*****

The news of Princess Chenyang's acquisition of the harp spread throughout the city of Chang'an within half a day, and many people wanted to see it for a while. Li Jin was so excited that she specially held a banquet for people to watch.

Jun Qin was invited to be on the list, saw the post and smiled coldly, turned around and handed the post to the maid, and told them to make some dishes that His Highness likes to eat tomorrow, counting the days, they should be back at noon tomorrow.

The banquet is tomorrow night, if you don't go, Li Jin will think she is a stingy person; Wei Changning will come back tomorrow, it is not good to leave her alone at the house, and she will make a lot of noise after the banquet. After thinking for a while, she withdraws Li Jin's invitation It's gone, it's been torn apart anyway, and it doesn't matter whether you go or not.

After she arranged things, she lay down and went to sleep.Wei Changning had been away for half a month, and her aura was already very faint, so faint that it seemed to be there.Tossing and turning, she didn't know when she fell asleep.

And Wei Changning in the palace had a high fever for several days, she was in good health, Shen Cong'an was not worried about the recovery of her legs and feet, she just walked like flying, the sudden cold caught him off guard and delayed her return to Beijing.

Wei Changning delayed his return to Beijing because of his illness, and he was depressed. Maybe he really had to wait until the next year before going back.She was depressed, and the queen only thought that she was weak, and would come over to chat with her from time to time.

The palace has a nice view, and the red plum blossoms are gorgeous. Jiang Ru picked a few branches and put them in the hall. The faint fragrance of plum blossoms is not obvious in the smell of medicine in the room, so it can only be used as a decoration for the occasion.

Jiang Ru sat in the distance, quietly listening to her aunt.Everyone in the Jiang family knew that my aunt was not a talkative person. After following her for a few days, they also understood that she took the Fifth Highness very seriously. It's just that the Fifth Highness probably didn't grow up by her side since she was a child, and she didn't have much love for her mother. Feelings are more than respect.

Wei Changning had a low fever and coughed a few times, and was asked by the queen how he met Jun Qin. This question was beyond her expectations, and there was no need to hide this matter. Let's talk about what happened in Hengshui.

Jiang Ru listened, her eyebrows changed, and said: "Hengshui Academy is not an ordinary place, allowing students to behave like this?"

"Cough, cough, cough, the academy is also a small world, and the intrigue among the students is no worse than that of the court and the public." Wei Changning coughed a few times, and said something casually, his eyes fell on Hongmei, thinking about what Mr. What?

She gazed longingly, and Jiang Ru blushed for no reason when she saw her staring at the red plums she had picked in a daze.

Jun Qin knew that the two of them met in Hengshui, but he didn't know that Jun Qin had exposed the woman's identity at that time.Jun Qin was indifferent for half her life, and she didn't know why she chose to hide her identity for Wei Changning. She asked curiously, "Why did she choose to hide it for you?"

Wei Changning said: "I have nothing to do with her. Whether she hides it or not doesn't make much difference to her. Everyone will choose to hide it. Just like when you gave a marriage back then, things that have nothing to do with you will become tolerant some."

She looked tired, the queen couldn't bear to ask any more questions, helped her to lie down, and left with Jiang Ru.

After the people left, Wei Changning got under the quilt, called Lin Xuan in, and hurriedly asked her, "Does the Grand Tutor have faith?"

Lin Xuan shook her head and said: "You conceal the matter of your illness, the Tai Tuo only thinks that you want to go back, I'm afraid I'll wait happily in the mansion, there will be no letter for you."

Confused by the high fever, Wei Changning slapped his head and hurriedly said, "I'll write to her and tell her not to wait for me."

Her face was pale, and her complexion was better only when she was writing letters. However, she was ill for a few days and couldn't hold the pen in her hand.

The letter was late, and Jun Qin didn't wait for Wei Changning to come back in the mansion. It just so happened that Li Jin sent people to invite her into the mansion several times.

Zhang Shaohua was invited to drink with a group of young courtiers, and he was able to handle it with ease. Jun Qin glanced at it and smiled. Zhang Shaohua's ability is indeed suitable for the minister of Honglu Temple.

During the banquet, singing and dancing were indispensable, and the hall was lit with charcoal fire, so it didn’t feel cold. Li Jin ordered someone to play a konghou. Perhaps the performers were not good at using the konghou, and none of the people present were everyone, nor No one heard the subtle difference.

Han Yuan and Gu Sheng came together, and seeing the konghou that the government and the public have been talking about for several days, after listening to a piece, he said disgustedly: "I am afraid that the actors are a little nervous, the tune is as usual, but it doesn't have the essence, it is a waste of a good instrument."

The Great General of the Jinwu Guard is very popular in the court, and Gu Sheng's status is also superior to others. She said that, except for the high-ranking ones, no one below dared to refute at will.King Qin echoed, "That's true, how about Ah Jin to try?"

Everyone in the hall stared at Princess Chenyang, she took a sip of her wine and said with a smile: "Brother Qin Wang, don't tease me, Father wants me to play him a song at the palace banquet, it's too early now."

Everyone sighed, it is a pity to have a good musical instrument, but not to use it well.Li Jin glanced around, his eyes fell on Jun Qin, he smiled deeply, and said: "A few days ago, the sound of konghou was always heard in the Jun's mansion. I think the Grand Tutor is also good at this. I wonder if I will be honored to listen to you?"

After finishing the sentence, the others did not dare to express their anger, and quietly watched the Tai Tuo respond.The Tai Tuo is a model teacher and has a noble status. It is good to listen to her song.

Others didn't dare to speak, King Qin said with a big grin: "Why would you push to the Grand Tutor what Ajin herself didn't want to do, and besides, why the sound of the konghou in the Junfu was played by the Grand Tutor, maybe it's His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Being humiliated in public, anger flashed in Li Jin's heart, but she didn't show any expression, she just stared at the Tai Tuo: "Your Highness the Fifth Highness used to pretend to be a man, how can you know the piano skills of your daughter's family?"

The king of Qin didn't know about these trivial matters, he was so stiff that he couldn't speak.Jun Jin's smile remained the same as before, like red plums in winter outside, and he said with a smile: "I do know how to do it, but it's not as good as His Highness the Fifth Highness. I haven't touched it for many years, and it will stain everyone's ears."

Jun Jin responded to the stalemate, and immediately escalated to a situation where fire and water blended together.Qin Wang couldn't see Li Jin's rampant look, looked at Li Jin like a joke, and laughed loudly: "A Jin, what's the use of this harp, the Tai Tuo played a song at the palace banquet back then, and the acting king never forgot it, you can imagine how much it is. Wonderful, right now she is not as honest as His Highness the Fifth Highness, in my opinion, sisters love each other deeply, you might as well pass it on to His Highness Fifth, because treasures have to meet their lovers, it is also its fortune."

Zhang Shaohua, who was pushing a glass of wine with others, was too shocked to move when he heard King Qin's sarcastic words. King Qin's courage is really good, but his brain is not good enough. Offending Li Jin is not a good idea for him. good thing.

But he just wanted to fight against Li Jin, and I don't know if he felt that he was too idle recently, and wanted to ask for something to do with Li Jin. Just looking at how much the Tai Tuo has suffered with Li Jin these days, we can know her strength. The means are getting stronger.

Li Jin's face was flushed by what he said, if she didn't play it, she would end up with a nameless reputation; if she played it, she would hit herself in the face, she gritted her teeth in hatred, and cursed this idiot brother secretly a few times.

Junqin smiled lightly, drank a glass of wine, raised his hand gracefully, as usual, without sadness or joy, looked at Li Jin, and said with a smile: "I also want to hear, but I don't know that Your Highness can reward you with thin noodles."

She is the Grand Tutor, higher than Li Jin, and even the elder. Li Jin couldn't shirk it now, and said through gritted teeth: "The Grand Tutor has orders, so I want to satisfy you."

Jun Chen smiled warmly, "It's my honor."

The war between the high-ranking people will not affect the courtiers at the lower level, Zhang Shaohua doesn't care about it, he drags others to continue drinking, it is said that the wine in Princess Chenyang's mansion is a tribute, he has never drunk it before, today just took advantage of this Have a few more drinks.

Besides drinking, listening to Princess Chenyang playing the harp is also a great pleasure, enjoying the emperor's treatment, not bad.

Zhang Shaohua drank a few more glasses of wine, was helped out of the Princess Mansion by his colleagues, and returned to the carriage. The servants hugged a snow fox, fluffy and white all over. He hugged it and said, "Go to the Jun Mansion."

Jun Qin left after the banquet, ignoring Princess Chenyang's smiling face. The King of Qin invited her to accompany him, but he should have been unwilling, but Li Jin stared at her with burning eyes, and it was hard to refuse, so he said a few interesting things to the King of Qin.

Qin Wang also drank too much, was supported by someone when he walked, and said with a smile: "When you are free, go to the Taifu's residence to listen to her piano skills."

Of course she was referring to Wei Changning, Jun Qin knew he was drunk, so he said a few perfunctory words before boarding his carriage.When returning home, Yuan An was holding a white fox in her hands. She thought it was cute, but Yuan An smiled and said, "This was secretly sent by Master Zhang of Honglu Temple. He dropped by and sent it to His Highness the Fifth Highness."

Foxes are more common, with pure fur color, this is the first time I saw foxes, even white rabbits, the fur is not so white.When Jun Qin saw it, he remembered Wei Changning's feigned aggrieved appearance, took it from Yuan'an's hand, stroked its head, and felt a little depressed in his heart.

She took Xuehu to the main house. She didn't know what Xuehu's personality was like, so she didn't dare to get too close. After entering the main house, she put it down.

When Xuehu came to a strange place for the first time, he squatted in place and stared at Junqin. No matter how he looked at it, he felt very obedient. Yuan An followed him and saw it and said, "Master Zhang said that Xuehu is very obedient. It won't be noisy, if someone from outside sends it here, if it's wild and unruly, it will only cause trouble for yourself."

Jun Qin nodded, thought for a while, and said: "Go and check, why did His Highness not come back today, and whether something dangerous happened on the way."

Knowing that she was worried, Yuan An said, "I have already told you to just wait. Brother Lu will follow along on the way and nothing will happen."

Everyone understands this kind of truth. Wei Changning has been injured a lot over the years, and he would come back with a whole body wounded when he went out to a banquet. Jun Qin followed him in fear. It was clearly written in the letter that he would come back today, and he would not see anyone at night. It's not in her character.

Jun Qin walked to the inner room, Xuehu raised his paw, and jumped over directly, unexpectedly reaching the dressing table one step ahead of Jun Qin.So cute, Jun Qin leaned over to pet it, and ordered someone to take it out so that it could be fed.

Today, Li Jin was mocked by her and the King of Qin at the banquet, so she must bear a grudge in her heart, and if she can't be moved, the King of Qin will probably suffer.

She leaned on the couch, thought for a while, and then lay down and fell asleep.

Yuan An didn't find out that the Queen's letter arrived first, telling her about Wei Changning's sudden illness.After Jun Qin received the letter, he resented Wei Changning for not telling her the truth. After she accepted the letter, King Qin's staff came to see him in a hurry.

This was what she expected. Some people in the court suggested that the princes are not too young to live in Chang'an for a long time, and they should go to fiefdoms.

Li Jin's speed was too fast, or she had always had this thought. After being angered by King Qin yesterday, she couldn't wait to implement the plan.

Qin Wang came to ask her for advice, it was a helpless thing, he was the leader, and he was the first to bear the brunt.King Qin himself knew that the situation in front of him would not be the work of the two younger brothers, and only Li Jin would benefit.

The two of them worked together last night to prevent Li Jin from coming to the stage, and he naturally regarded the Tai Tuo as his backer.

When Jun Qin heard what Qin Wang's staff said, he didn't respond immediately, but only said, "Now the end of the year is approaching, even if you go to fief, you have to wait until the next year, let Qin Wang go down and discuss with the other two highnesses, don't be impatient."

Seeing that the Tai Tuo looked calm and showed no signs of impatience, the staff only obeyed her orders and went back to deliver a message when she thought it was not a big deal and would suppress it.

This incident was just mentioned casually, Li Jin dared not publicize it before it happened, and he didn't know where the King of Qin got the news, so there must be some commotion.

The matter of going to the back cover has little effect on Jun Qin, the other three are not as good as Li Jin, it depends on whether they can compete against Li Jin together.After her staff left, she didn't think about it, and Wei Changning's condition was on her mind.

The queen's letter didn't introduce in a few words, but only said that she was suddenly ill, which made her also worried.

In the afternoon, I received a letter from Wei Changning. The handwriting was different. I think it was written by Lin Xuan. The letter mentioned that the queen did not want to come back and would not come back until early next year. Let her wait for her return in Chang'an City with peace of mind.

The paper was full of lies, and Jun Qin was angry and distressed, and the letter from Lin Xuan came with it.Lin Xuan didn't dare to hide it from her, and explained the matter very clearly, saying that His Highness's sudden illness was also very strange.

Jun Qin knew Lin Xuan's temperament, and she was not sure that she would not speak casually. She burned all the letters with a candle, and kept Wei Changning's letters, so she would argue with her when she saw someone.

Little fox who tells a lot of lies.

*****

In the palace, the lying little fox was lying on the couch, looking at the roof, the door creaked open, she just thought it was Lin Xuan coming, so she didn't care, she turned over and wanted to ask the Tai Tuo if he had sent a letter to see her It was her fault to stay alone in Chang'an City.

She resented that her body was getting worse. When she sat up, no one came in. She felt strange, but before she could figure it out, a small snow-white thing came out from under the screen.

After being puzzled for a while, the little thing was also looking straight at her, the fur was very pure, she thought about it, it was probably Jiang Ru's pet, who ran in by mistake.
