Once magnificent, now brilliant

There are very few things to play in Beijing in winter, and it is not suitable for Qi Xiang to go hunting, and it is even more impossible to have fun, so taking advantage of the good snow, Bai Junyu called Bai Ru and a few boys to give Qi Xiang a meal in the yard. Build a snowman to watch.

Qi Xiang wrapped it like a white dough, sat on the porch and watched Bai Junyu and the others pile up in full swing, sweat had already wet the temples of several people, and making snowmen became an activity to keep warm.

The rising sun is not enough to melt the snow, and the powerless light is ordinary like a candle that cannot warm the house, but only illuminates.There was a smile on the corner of Qi Xiang's mouth all the time. He couldn't go to play, but he was also happy to see Bai Junyu piled up happily.

Same as painting, when it comes to making snowmen, Bai Junyu's aesthetic sense is also limited, relying on his round head and decorative branches, carrots, etc. to fill the appearance, he looks like a snowman.Bai Junyu still insisted on stacking two, the implication is good, but it is ugly.

Qi Xiang didn't like to laugh at Bai Junyu, so he just watched honestly, and even if he stayed out of it, he still felt like participating in the pleasant excitement.

Bai Junyu asked the servants to sweep the tail, then walked to the corridor by himself, and stretched out his hand as if offering a treasure. A palm-sized, crooked snowman was placed in his hand, which was ugly and naive.

"Put this under the window for you to watch and play." In this way, Qi Xiang can see the snowman without opening the window too wide.

Qi Xiang took it with a smile, it was very cold and cold.

Bai Junyu only let him take it for a while, then took it away, "I'll put it under the window for you."

"Okay." Qi Xiang watched Bai Junyu walk to the window, watched him carefully put the snowman in place, as if he was afraid that it would not be secure, and grabbed a few handfuls of snow to reinforce the snowman.The snowman looks even uglier, but it is rare.

"When you recover, I'll make you a better looking one." Bai Junyu walked back, feeling very good.

Qi Xiang nodded, held his hands, breathed on him, and used the warmth of his hands to warm Bai Junyu's, even if it was useless, he wanted to do the same.

Bai Junyu didn't stop it, Qi Xiang is not porcelain, it will break when touched.This degree of coolness is no problem for Qi Xiang, and he is also happy that Qi Xiang helps him warm his hands.Bai Junyu touched Qi Xiang's forehead with his cold face, Qi Xiang felt cold, so he quickly avoided.One wants to stick, the other wants to hide. During the laughter, the fingers are clasped together, and the sun also warms up.

It was difficult to walk in the snow and dew, and it was already noon when Rong Qing arrived at Enhua Temple.

Because of the arrangement in advance, the monk has already prepared a yard for Rong Qing to live in. Rong Qing is now full of depression, and he doesn't even have the mood to be critical.

The temple is clean, especially in this kind of snowy weather, there are very few people going up the mountain, let alone the depths of the mountain.

"Your Highness, we're here." The boy said to Rong Qing who was distracted.

In the land of Buddhism, Rong Qing is always jealous, even if he is unhappy, he is polite, "Thank you little master for your careful arrangement."

The little monk said slowly: "Your Highness is welcome, the fast meal is ready, and it will be brought to you in a short while. Today the abbot and all the masters and uncles have ritual matters to do, and we will see His Highness tomorrow."

"It's okay, I'll just wait." When you arrive at the temple, you have to follow the rules of the temple.It's quiet here, and he can just use these few days to think about the future. He doesn't want to wait any longer. In his opinion, some things are better off than delayed.

"Your Highness, you can call the little monk if you have anything else to do. If there is nothing else, the little monk will go to work first."

"Little master, do your best."

The conditions in the temple are poor, especially when you come here in winter, it’s a real pain. Even the charcoal fire is plentiful, and the charcoal used is still very ordinary, and the bedding is a bit damp, and there is only sandalwood in the house. Rongqing is not used to it, but Can't.

If Rongqing only felt that he needed people before, now he urgently needs people.One Qi Xiang is no longer enough, the other counselors around him, and the officials who newly rely on him, are not particularly clever, they are not thoughtful enough in planning, and even have internal strife.So he needs someone who can replace Qi Xiang and give him a good idea when Qi Xiang is inconvenient to come out.

Now that Jiao Zhaoyi is pregnant, he has gained some benefits, but because of the elder brother's return to the palace, these benefits seem to be insignificant.His father is afraid of things, but he is not.And after this incident,

He also suddenly felt that his father was such a courageous person, even though he was forced into the city, but he still blindly tolerated it, hiding his ears and stealing the bell, which is really not the aura that a monarch should have.In contrast, he felt that he was the most suitable candidate for the monarch, at least he would not be cowardly.

The boy came in carrying the food box, his voice was much lighter because he lived in the temple, "Your Highness, the fast food is here, you can eat it while it's hot."

As he said, he took out several dishes and one meal and put them on the table, "The little master who came to deliver the meals said that the three meals a day in the monastery are fixed, and there is no small stove in the incense room, so we can't start the fire, please be on time. Go get the food. The little masters also brought another food box and sent it to the courtyard next door, and I inquired carefully, and it turned out that the young master of the Xianfu also came to visit and lived next door."

"Xianxuan?" Rong Qing was surprised.

"Yes."

Rong Qing was overjoyed, isn't this a coincidence?God help him!

Of course he knew that the relationship between Xianzhen and Rong Cang was better, and that Xianzhen did not enter the court, but everyone knew his intelligence back then. Since he was able to persuade Qi Xiang, he naturally had the confidence to persuade Xianzhen.Everyone is profit-oriented, as long as he can promise more than Rongcang, Xianxuan will definitely consider him.In addition, a few days ago, the Tai Fu said that he was in poor health and could not go to court. Later he found out that the father had grounded the Tai Tuo because of fraud.And Rong Cang didn't ask his father for a word of love at that time, so he didn't feel disappointed because he believed in the virtuous.

A good bird lives in a good tree. He thinks it is a good tree, and he doesn't believe that he can't recruit a good bird like Xian.

Xiao Song entered the room quietly, and said to Xian Xuan with admiration on his face: "Young master expected it well. After the second prince's servant knew that you lived next door, he should have told the second prince. The young one just observed secretly, and that young servant just now I asked the little monk when you came, how many people you brought with you, and what is the matter."

Xian Xing was in a good mood eating his vegetarian meal, "Okay. You go to eat quickly, the food gets cold quickly in this weather, and it looks like I abused you if you eat it cold."

Xiao Song still had that lively look, he answered with a smile and went out.

Xian Xuan continued to eat his own food. He came here this time, on the one hand to sincerely pray for blessings, and on the other hand, he wanted to keep an eye on the second prince.The fourth prince has already told him about the second prince and Jiao Zhaoyi, and with the fact that Qi Xiang lured the mother and daughter of the Hu family to do something, he can probably guess what Qi Xiang meant.

He does not enter the court, and rarely participates in these matters, but this does not mean that he ignores them, but the more low-key he is, the safer he is.And after staying in a place where fish and dragons are mixed for a long time, there are always some gossips that can be passed on there, but they are afraid to mention it in other places.Those people who go to the fence regard him as their own, so naturally they are willing to say a few words to him about anything.Just like a few days ago, the second prince quietly ordered a set of headgear. He found a very low-key craftsman who lived deep in Goulan Street. He asked for the pattern of crabapple flowers, which used coral and agate. It was obviously made for young women to wear. Yes, if it is for Concubine Mei, it is more appropriate to use jadeite, pearls, etc.It was done so covertly, obviously because it didn't want people to know. Later, a Yao sister accidentally ran into the second prince and took the hair away, and handed it to a court lady with a sign from the Jiao Zhaoyi Palace. It is almost unnecessary to give it to anyone. Think too much.

It seems that the second prince gave his concubine a haircut as a no-brainer, but the problem lies in tricks and this sneaky behavior.The prince is the first to look for the best craftsmen or time-honored brands in Beijing, and there is no need to go to Goulan Street.In addition, Begonia flower has the meaning of "bitter love", and women often embroider it on their clothes to express their love for their husbands or lament for their own situation.As a gift, no one would give such a patterned face, especially to those in the palace, most of it was for good luck, unless it was to express one's feelings.

As for whether Jiao Zhaoyi asked the second prince to help build it, the possibility is even smaller.Still the same sentence, even if Jiao Zhaoyi asks the second prince to be the leader, she will definitely not find the craftsman who is hidden in the city. It is known that the person lives in Goulan Street, and the concubine's face will be dull.What's more, that person's craftsmanship has not reached the point of perfection, and the time-honored shops can also beat the same.

In view of this, after learning that the second prince would come to pray for blessings, Xian Xuan immediately arranged to come too.On the surface, it was to pray for his grandfather. After all, his grandfather had been "unwell". In fact, he wanted to monitor the second prince to see if he would do anything else.

As for himself being wooed, Xian Xuan also thought about it, the second prince was the one who wooed Qi Xiang, so it can be seen that he is not a non-partisan person, but he can try anyone who thinks it can be used.Xiancheng thinks he has some ability, and the emperor's grandfather's matter is indeed superficial this time. It is not impossible for the second prince to use this matter to win him over and promise him better conditions.So he came to try it himself to see how far the second prince could do it.

Sure enough, after eating the vegetarian meal, the servant of the second prince came to knock on the door, saying that the second prince accidentally found out that Xianzheng was here, and wanted to invite Xianzheng to sit down for a while. The temple is quiet, and it is rare to meet acquaintances for a company day It doesn't look too tasteless either.

Of course Xianzheng chose to go, and his tone was really pleasant and respectful, probably something he learned from some geisha.

Xian Xuan went to the temple to pray for blessings, but Qi Xiang was worried about the Tai Tuo, so he asked Bai Junyu to visit.

It was already after dinner when Bai Junyu came back.

"The Taifu said that the family arrangements are very good, you don't have to worry, let you take good care of your body." Bai Junyu cleaned his hands and said: "This time, the second prince went to the emperor with his testimony in a hurry. Although the emperor didn't deal with it, everyone Fang must be guessing why the second prince didn't go to pray for blessings, but rushed to the palace."

This matter was indeed handled poorly by the Second Prince. Fortunately, it was still early at that time, and there were almost no other people around. If there were too many people around, as long as others inquired, they would be able to come up with a general idea.

"The second prince wanted to show his merits too much, and he also wanted to pull the third prince down too much. He didn't know whether he could compete with the third prince." Qi Xiang didn't feel sorry for the second prince, and wanted to overthrow others to sit in that position. You must be resourceful and resourceful. Ambition alone is not capable enough, and you can't hold your breath. In the end, you are just a blocker.

Bai Junyu took the hot tea that Qi Xiang handed him, took two sips to warm his stomach, and then said: "Don't mention anything else, if the second prince and Jiao Zhaoyi really have something ulterior, the second prince is really useless." .As for whether the eldest prince or the empress is going to expose this matter, it depends on their own calculations."

It is impossible for them to expose this matter. Firstly, there is not enough evidence to make it happen. Secondly, if the hand is stretched too far, it will easily make people fear the Fourth Prince, which is not worth it.In addition, the merits and demerits of this matter are hard to say, so let others worry about it.

Qi Xiang chuckled, "Drop the bait as soon as possible, and it depends on whether it's a pair of fish grabbing the bait, or a praying mantis catching a cicada."

The next day, Concubine Shu wore the begonia-patterned clothes she often wore, and while the eldest prince was playing chess with the emperor, she went to give the emperor a cup of soup for the father and son to drink to keep them warm.The emperor saw the old clothes on her body and mentioned that she should make some new ones.Concubine Shu said that it will be enough to wear now when we are together next year.The First Prince didn't know whether it was on purpose or not, he mentioned Jiao Zhaoyi's begonia hairpin recently.The emperor also praised it a bit, and felt that it was very suitable for Jiao Zhaoyi's peachy face.

Concubine Shu couldn't help panicking, it was hard for her to judge whether she knew about the eldest prince's attitude or just mentioned it unintentionally.But after all, she has also been immersed in the harem for many years. If she really does her best on the surface, she will not lose to Concubine De Gui, so naturally she has not shown any flaws. Even when she meets the eldest prince, she has a calm face, just like a loving mother .And her purpose of coming here is nothing more than to let the First Prince notice Jiao Zhaoyi's reputation, no matter whether the First Prince knew about it or was inspired by her, her goal has been achieved.

On the other hand, according to the queen's orders, the nuns by the queen's side went to Yuzhi Palace routinely to care about Jiao Zhaoyi's pregnancy, which was also ordered by the emperor.Next to the soft pillow on the beauty's couch in Jiao Zhaoyi Palace, the mother accidentally saw a jade finger that belonged to the second prince.That plate refers to a tribute, which was rewarded by the emperor when the second prince left the palace to build the mansion.Originally, the empress was the first to be optimistic and wanted the emperor to award the third prince, but the emperor gave it out first, and the finger was really special, so she was very impressed.Now it appears in Jiao Zhaoyi Palace, it seems that the position should have fallen unintentionally, but in that position, no matter how you look at it, it shouldn't be.

Normally, even if the second prince came to sit and sit, his fingers should be in the outer room, why did he come across the inner room?

But after all, she is an old nanny who has served in the palace for many years, and her ability to keep calm is much better than those little palace ladies.After leaving Yuzhi Palace, she turned cold and hurried back to the Queen's Palace to report the matter.
