The fourth prince was startled, the smile on his face faded, he knelt down respectfully and saluted, "I don't know where I have offended my father."
"I don't know?" The emperor's face paled, "Could it be that you deliberately lured Qinqin out of the palace? Not only did he wantonly renovate Wen's mansion, but he didn't even enter the palace gate at night, and stayed outside the palace all the time."
The fourth prince did not look calm, "Father, according to common sense, foreign men over the age of 16 are not allowed to stay in the palace. Wen Qin will have his 16th birthday in a short time. Now we are renovating the Wen mansion. After his birthday, he can move out." .”
The emperor's face was even more ugly, "Although the palace rules are so, but Qinqin has lived in the palace since he was a child. I have long regarded him as my son. Although the prince can marry and enter the mansion at the age of 16, the unmarried prince still lives in the palace. Qinqin has just turned 16, do you want me to drive him out of the palace?"
"Qinqin himself also hopes to have his own mansion." The fourth prince said calmly, "He designed many interesting things himself, and the emperor will like it after seeing it."
"He is a child, and he is still playing around, how can he take care of the Wen Mansion?" The emperor frowned, "Plus, he has not yet achieved fame, so he can only live in the capital as a commoner. The people around him are from Extraordinary, valuable status, how to get along with them when Chinqin meets them again in the future?"
Every official position of the military officials in North Korea and China was closely watched by others. If they were confiscated without merit, it would not be a good thing for Wen Qin.Now everyone respects and supports him, not because the emperor loves him.Wen Qin has always been innocent, if he leaves the palace and loses the emperor's favor, those who admired him in the past will inevitably fall into trouble.
The fourth prince didn't think about this, his hands froze, and his face turned ugly, "It's because I didn't think carefully."
The emperor closed his eyes, "Go back, Xuan Zhan, don't lure him out of the palace again."
The fourth prince bent down, "Yes."
After leaving the palace, Wen Qin was still watching the workers repairing the house. The progress was very fast and most of them had been completed.Wen Qin sat in a shady place, with the rain shower fanning him, and Shen Ling beside him also turned into a servant, feeding him from time to time.
Wen Qin bit a grape, and with a brush in his hand, he drew on the paper, "Bandu Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Ling lowered his head and glanced at his drawing, showing some appreciation, "Very good."
Wen Qin's paintings are very good, and the pavilions and pavilions he drew are very beautiful. Seeing that Shen Ling said it was good, Wen Qin felt a little proud, "The craftsman also said that I am very talented."
Shen Ling smiled a little, and even Shuyu, who was fanning the wind, smiled lightly.Seeing that Wen Qin's eyes are innocent and his heart is clear, if he leaves the palace and guards Wen's mansion alone, it will be good to live freely without being restrained by the palace.
"Shen Budu, you just wait to prepare a gift for me from Luofu." Wen Qin was delighted.
Just as he was talking, the fourth prince came in. Seeing Wen Qin designing the garden here, his eyes dimmed, "What is Qinqin doing?"
"The pavilion in the garden." Wen Qin cocked his tail triumphantly, and showed him the blueprint in his hand, "Isn't it beautiful?"
The fourth prince took a closer look and patted his head, "It's very innovative." Seeing that Wen Qin was happy, he couldn't help but said, "Do you want to go back to the palace tonight?"
"Why?" Wen Qin frowned, "Today they can repair the bedroom on one side. I want to see it."
"Think about how long it's been since you greeted your father?" The fourth prince smiled, "There's no rush for this renovation."
Just as Wen Qin was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that Shen Ling had said that the fourth prince was summoned by the emperor today, and he felt a "thump" in his heart, and immediately understood.The fourth prince has not said much these days, but today he suddenly mentioned the emperor, obviously the emperor deliberately mentioned this matter.
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since I went back, and I have not seen the emperor for more than half a month.Wen Qin was a little annoyed, he was only focused on Huanxi's going out of the palace, and even forgot to check in at the emperor's place, which annoyed the emperor, and he really lost his composure.
Standing up quickly, "Then I will go to the palace to see His Majesty, and I will leave this place to the craftsman for a few days."
The fourth prince nodded and said with a light smile, "Okay."
Seeing Wen Qin hurried back, the fourth prince smiled and said in a low voice, "It's not too stupid."
Hastily entered the palace, saw Zhang Fu guarding the gate of Zhengqing Palace, smiled at him and wanted to go in, who knew that Zhang Fu actually stood in front of him, smiled, "Mr. Wen, you can't go in..."
"Is there a minister discussing matters?" Wen Qin was puzzled.
Zhang Fu shook his head, "No."
"Is there a concubine?" Wen Qin asked again.
"No."
"Then why didn't you let me in?" Wen Qin was a little puzzled.
Zhang Fu touched his nose, "The emperor said, you haven't returned to the palace for so long, it seems that you don't want to come back, so don't come back..."
"..." Wen Qin understood, and was really angry.Pushing Zhang Fu's hand, "Zhang Fu, if you don't let me in, isn't my trip in vain?"
"This..." Zhang Fu was also very embarrassed.
"Although the emperor said so, he must really want to see me." Wen Qin laughed.
Zhang Fu hesitated, wondering whether he should believe Wen Qin's words. Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Qin slipped into his arm with his back bent down. Walking around outside the door.
After entering the Zhengqing Palace, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Seeing him coming, his face was pale, "Why are you here? It's not that Zhang Fu blocked you."
"Your Majesty." Wen Qin smiled, "I have been busy repairing the Wen Mansion these days, and forgot to greet you. How are you doing these days, Your Majesty?"
The emperor glanced at him, "Did you remember today?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Wen Qin said with a smile, lying on the imperial case without any sign of guilt, "This is the first time I have designed it by myself. I think it is very interesting, and I was just addicted to it for a while."
"The imperial palace is so big, why do you want to go out to design it?" The emperor finally looked up at him, "There are so many people out there, and there are many thieves who don't know what to do. You are alone, what if you meet a thieves?"
"The fourth prince's mansion is right next to it. How can anyone dare to make trouble there." Wen Qin smiled, "Besides, there are rules in the palace, and every building is particular about it. Come to point fingers, I can't play wild in the palace."
The emperor snorted coldly after hearing this, "Excuse me, you can't be wild, and you have been wild for so many years."
"How dare you...I've been fighting cautiously..." Wen Qin muttered.
The emperor laughed back angrily, "You repaired the Wen Mansion early, did you plan to leave the palace long ago?"
Wen Qin knew he couldn't hide it, so he nodded.
"I treat you as my own son, so will I drive you out? You actually made a plan so early behind my back." The emperor felt a little helpless.
Wen Qin was a little guilty, and unintentionally tugged on the crimson python robe. His spending was indeed no different from that of the prince.The embroidered gold python robe is added to the body, and the golden crown on the head has a warm oriental bead on the left and right, and a pair of red tassels hanging down the shoulders on both sides, bright and generous.Even the ceremonial guards for travel are not bad at all.
"Your Majesty, I am a foreigner after all, and I will leave the palace sooner or later." Wen Qin hesitated.
"You are still young when you go out of the palace. The imperial examination is held once every three years. If you take part in the imperial examination soon, I will give you the position of servant of the Ministry of Rites. Now that you don't have an official position, you will inevitably be despised." The emperor frowned slightly. Good friends, Sun Shaochuan, Zhao Yinyu... Which one is not from a distinguished family and aristocrats, you are now a commoner when you leave the palace, how do you get along with each other when we meet again in the future."
Wen Qin knew what the emperor meant, and he had thought about it a long time ago, but he was contrary to the emperor's thoughts, so he had to keep silent at this time.
Seeing that he was silent, the emperor's eyes showed a little thought, and then a little disbelief, "You...you have already planned it, you don't want to make friends with them, and you don't plan to enter the palace again, right? "
"Your Majesty... I think it's good to be a commoner." Wen Qin hesitated.
Seeing that he really wanted to leave this circle, the emperor was furious, "You have outstanding talent, why are you willing to be a commoner!"
"Your Majesty..." Wen Qin didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince. It's always bad to hurt yourself by mistake. It's not bad to think about leaving the palace early and being at ease.
The emperor couldn't figure out why Wen Qin would rather be a commoner than enter the palace as an official. How could a commoner's life compare to a life of glory and wealth.Wen Qin was raised by him alone, so outstanding, he should stand on a high ground and look down on others, instead of being willing to become an ant.
"It's not suitable for you to live in Fu'an Palace now. Move back to Zhengqing Palace and you are not allowed to go out." The emperor frowned slightly, "The matter of Wen's Mansion is put on hold for now, and no further construction is allowed."
"Your Majesty!" Wen Qin was unhappy, begging all over his face, "I have drawn the blueprint for a long time, and I have waited for a long time, how can I say that if I don't build it, I won't build it."
"If I say it's not allowed, then it's not allowed." The emperor ignored his coquetry and cuteness, and said firmly.
Wen Qin dejectedly said, "All right, all right."
The matter of going out of the palace was put on hold just like that, and it didn't take long for Wen Qin's 16th birthday to be ushered in.
The emperor wanted to make a big deal, but he just thought that the fourth prince's 16th birthday was not too grand, so Wen Qin stopped the emperor's idea and just wanted to hold a low-key banquet.
Invited some friends and old acquaintances, and got together lively.Singing and dancing all night long, the sound of laughter and fights can be heard endlessly, it is very lively.
"I know Mr. Wen likes treasures. I got a new interesting thing a few days ago." Sun Shaochuan, a good friend for many years, smiled and took out a golden abacus. The beads are carefully polished by craftsmen with fat jade to make them round and symmetrical, and each bead is the same size, which is why this abacus was obtained. Wouldn’t it bring good luck to use it?”
"Good! It's wonderful!" Wen Qin repeatedly praised.
"Wen Qin, it's interesting to look at me." Zhao Yinyu smiled very proudly, "This bracelet was consecrated by Master Yunyun, and it is said that it can attract wealth and peach blossoms. Wearing it will bring good luck, and the luck of wealth cannot be stopped! "
The bracelet is a simple red rope with seven round wooden beads carved with lifelike peach blossoms, which looks very delicate.
"Take it with you, it's for attracting peach blossoms." Zhao Yinyu said with a smile, and put the bracelet on his hand.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it still looks good on it, and it is very beautiful against the jade white wrist.Wen Qin raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have to pay attention to it recently."
A few more people presented gifts one after another, and the combs beside her were carefully put away one by one.Among them, the girls gave fan covers, purses and other things to express their hearts.
Zhao Yinyu looked regretful, Wen Qin didn't need to recruit peach blossoms, this bracelet should be kept for himself, right?
Not long after, the fourth prince and Shen Ling also arrived. Seeing Wen Qin surrounded by a group of young girls, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows, "Qinqin is so popular with girls?"
Shen Ling took a few more glances, and Qing Lingling's eyes also had a melted smile, "It's always been like this."
Most of the girls in that group were very reserved. Occasionally, a few bold and shy ones asked Wen Qin when he would get married. One girl even took a purse and put it in Wen Qin's hand, wanting him to accept it.
Wen Qin smiled politely and detachedly, and just asked the comb rain to be put away.
When the seventh prince arrived, he saw Wen Qin accepting the gift with a smile.
"What did the Seventh Prince prepare?" The friend on the side laughed, "It seems that he didn't have anything in his hand."
The Seventh Prince was empty-handed, "My gift is not here."
"Where is that?"
The fourth prince knew what the seventh prince seemed to be doing all the time, but he didn't know exactly what it was.Seeing him playing tricks, I was also a little interested.
The Seventh Prince squeezed into the group of chattering girls, took Wen Qin's hand with one hand, and pulled him out of the group of girls, "Come with me."
Wen Qin didn't know why, so he followed the seventh prince to a place.The rest of the people were also a little curious about what was being given, and followed.
The Seventh Prince dragged him to a higher platform.This place was originally a high platform to watch the scenery, it was empty and quiet, and at this moment, everyone came forward, but they were a little puzzled.
Wen Qin looked around, it was pitch black with no light, and there was really nothing to see, "Why are you here?"
"You'll know right away." The Seventh Prince smiled smugly, and said firmly, "You will like it."
Wen Qin raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to ask, he saw countless red lanterns swinging up with the wind.
As if making an appointment, all of a sudden, thousands of red lights rise against the wind, and go straight up ninety thousand miles with the wind.The entire dark night was lit up, and one after another red lanterns floated up, slowly rising into the sky.The place is empty, and the red lights are like countless red lotuses that suddenly bloom, slowly rising into the sky.
Such a beautiful scenery is really amazing. For a while, many official women exhaled in surprise, holding their handkerchiefs tightly excitedly.The palace people from all the palaces also came out one after another to watch the spectacle and cheered happily.
Wen Qin's eyes lit up with red lights, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, immersed in the amazing scenery, and 520 beside him also opened his mouth wide in surprise, "It's so beautiful."
The Seventh Prince took a few glances, turned his head with a slight smile, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Wen Qin opened his eyes wide and murmured.
The night was dark, and the faint lights of red lanterns fell on Wen Qin's face. The warm red shimmer made his expression extra gentle.
"Wen Qin." The Seventh Prince's long eyelashes trembled.
"What?" Wen Qin asked.
"Well... I wish you peace and joy." The Seventh Prince paused and said again.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Qin turned his head and looked at him with a smile, "This is the best gift I have ever received."
"Cough... as long as you like it." The Seventh Prince coughed lightly, "I just arranged it casually."
In the Zhengqing Palace, the emperor heard the exclamation of the palace people, and walked outside the palace, seeing the red lanterns all over the sky.After looking at it for a while, he chuckled, "Xuan Che must have let it go."
"Yes." Zhang Fu smiled, "Your Majesty is really clever."
The emperor smiled, "He is very much like me when I was young."
"Your Majesty said so." Zhang Fu also smiled slightly.
At the banquet, Wen Qin, as the host, had to keep paying back to other people's wine. Fortunately, Shu Yu kept pouring him plain water, otherwise he really couldn't hold on.
Just as he was talking, Song Liansheng, who had always been thinking about Wen Qin, saluted him with a glass of wine, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. An ordinary man would have already softened his body, but it is a pity that Wen Qin is not an ordinary man , he bent very thoroughly, just staring at her with a faint smile.
The admiration in Song Liansheng's heart is one after another. Others can't walk when they see her. If they give her a smiling face, they will look ecstatic. Only Wen Qin is different. He doesn't value beauty, but more What is in the heart.
Although my father kept saying that Wen Qin was not a good match, he would always marry, wouldn't he? If so, why couldn't he be the one to marry Wen Qin?
"Wen Qin, here's a toast to you." Song Liansheng pinched the wine cup, seeing that Wen Qin's wine glass was empty, she smiled and took a jug from the side and poured it into his glass.
The face of Shu Yu who was at the side changed. She tampered with the jug, separating the wine from the water.If you pour wine for others, what comes out is wine, if you pour it for Wen Qin, press one place, and what comes out is water.
Naturally, Song Liansheng didn't understand the rules, so she poured wine for Wen Qin, and shyly held the wine glass and handed it to Wen Qin, "Mr. Wen, please drink."
Shu Yu's expression changed, "Master!"
Wen Qin was holding the wine glass, if he didn't drink it, he would really lose face. Thinking about his drinking capacity, he shouldn't be too light, and when he drank it all in one gulp, a touch of red appeared on his face.
Standing in front of him, Song Liansheng was stunned. How could there be such a handsome person whose face was instantly covered in pink, like a rose that suddenly bloomed, so delicate and beautiful that people wanted to pick it.
Shu Yu closed her eyes, and opened them again feeling helpless.
Wen Qin didn't expect the wine to be so strong, he was dizzy after drinking it, and seeing that Song Liansheng in front of him was still fine, he couldn't help doubting his drinking capacity.
Song Liansheng wanted to say a few more words, but Shu Yu stepped forward to stop her in a cold voice, "Miss Song, go back, the master will have two glasses of wine with the fourth prince."
Song Liansheng had no choice but to stare at Shuyu with dissatisfaction, and had no choice but to return to his seat slowly.
Shu Yu helped Wen Qin up with one hand, "Master, you can't drink... Forget it, let's go."
Wen Qin obediently followed Shuyu to leave the table, but he was unwilling to leave after a while, "Shuyu, I can't walk anymore."
Shu Yu frowned, looking at Wen Qin who was sitting on the ground reaching out to her, feeling a little helpless, "Walk a little longer? We'll be there soon."
"I can't walk anymore, comb the rain, carry me on your back." Wen Qin really couldn't tell he was drunk, his long eyelashes drooped, he looked pitiful, and his cheeks were flushed.
Shu Yu's heart softened, "Slave, can you find someone to carry the sedan chair?"
Wen Qin nodded obediently, "Okay."
Wen Qin was sitting in a nearby booth, lying on the table and waiting. After a while, another person came. Seeing Wen Qin sitting here alone, he was immediately happy.
"Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen?" Song Liansheng felt a little strange seeing Wen Qin leaving with Shu Yu, and followed her quietly. Seeing that Wen Qin seemed a little drunk, Shu Yu seemed to have said something, and left in a hurry.
When Wen Qin heard the voice, he just glanced at it in confusion, and was so drunk that he passed out.
"Really drunk?" Song Liansheng's heart melted when she saw it. How could Wen Qin be so cute when he was drunk, with a soft and ignorant look, "Does Mr. Wen have someone he likes?"
"People I like...no..." Wen Qin lisps.
"What does Mr. Wen think of me?" Song Liansheng asked anxiously.
"Who are you?" Wen Qin squinted his eyes for a long time but couldn't see clearly.
Song Liansheng's hands were shaking, "Song Liansheng! I'm Song Liansheng!"
"I like you very much..." Wen Qin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lighted up slightly, "Your dress...is beautiful..."
"...I'm really drunk..." Bai was agitated, and Song Liansheng was a little helpless.
Seeing how drunk he was, he probably couldn't ask anything, but she was really unwilling. Seeing that he was so drunk that she didn't even recognize anyone, Song Liansheng was a little ready to move.
"Can I give you a kiss..." Song Liansheng stared at his face, seeing him blinking in bewilderment, his long eyelashes curled up and down, she was really moved, "Just touch it lightly..."
Saying this, Song Liansheng couldn't help getting closer.
"Miss Song, what are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly sounded, scaring Song Liansheng to stand up quickly, and ran away in a hurry.
Shen Ling frowned slightly, stepped forward and saw Wen Qin sitting there drunkenly, crooked as if he was about to fall to the ground in a second, so she hurried forward to hold him, Wen Qin leaned on his waist, vaguely Said, "Shen Biandu, you are here, just in time, let's go hunting ghosts together."
"..."
"Go to heaven together."
"..."
"Ban Shen, can you fly?" Wen Qin grabbed his jade belt and rubbed against his chest, with his head held high and his face full of anticipation.
"No." Shen Ling met his glimmering eyes, then turned his head away.
"Hey, I have had a dream of being an astronaut since I was a child." Wen Qin felt a little regretful.
"Mr. Wen, what are you talking about..." Shen Ling felt as if he was about to be caught as he grabbed the jade belt.
Fortunately, Shu Yu came back in a hurry. Seeing Wen Qin like this, he was a little ashamed, "Don't be surprised when reading with Shen, the master is drunk and talking nonsense."
"I didn't!" Wen Qin puffed up, "I want to catch ghosts with Shen Ling, so that no bad luck will disturb me!"
"Okay, okay, catch ghosts and catch ghosts." Shu Yu hinted with his eyes.
Shen Ling's face was stiff, and he said obediently, "Well, catch ghosts."
Helping Wen Qin into the soft sedan chair, he hurriedly carried him back to the Zhengqing Palace, combed his brow with sweat, saw Shen Ling still standing outside the palace, and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
"It's nothing." The scene suddenly resembled that day nine years ago when he carried Wen Qin back from the cold palace. After thinking about it, it's been so long.
Shen Ling took a purse and handed it to Shu Yu, "I know that Wen Qin has everything, and I can't find more interesting rare treasures. This is the peace talisman I asked Master for, and I brought it to Wen Qin. Bar."
Combing the rain brought a little surprise, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ling's master is not an ordinary person, but the head of Xunbaishan. The peace talisman in his hand must not be an ordinary thing.
Shen Ling smiled lightly, "Then I'll go first."
When Wen Qin woke up the next day, he had a headache and rubbed his temples. He accidentally touched a brocade box next to the pillow with his hand. He took it over and looked at it suspiciously. When he opened it, there was a finger puller inside.
The thumb was translucent green and looked extremely precious. Wen Qin played with it suspiciously and put it on his thumb.
The wrench became more and more familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Wen Qin held the wrench in confusion.
Shu Yu came in with some things to wash and wash. Seeing that Wen Qin was still wondering about the wrench, he explained, "Many of the gifts that were sent yesterday were very expensive. For example, the golden lotus that the Fourth Prince gave were all taken away by the servants. Then It was delivered by Eunuch Zhang Fu himself yesterday, because it was sent by His Majesty, so I took it out alone."
"I remembered...this is what His Majesty has been carrying." Wen Qin suddenly remembered.
"My lord, don't forget to thank you." Shu Yu reminded.
Wen Qin nodded.
He went to the main hall with the wrench, and the emperor was painting. Seeing Wen Qin coming, with the wrench on his hand, he smiled lightly, "Here we come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for pulling your finger." Wen Qin said with a smile.
"You have to put this thing away." The emperor put down his pen, looking serious, "Don't throw it away."
It was rare for Wen Qin to see the emperor look so serious, and he was taken aback, "Is this finger wrench useful?"
The emperor rolled his eyes, "With this finger pull, whoever becomes the emperor in the future will come to beg you."
This finger is the token of the hidden guard, every emperor will take over this hidden team, he will be the most powerful arm of the emperor.Only every emperor knows about the hidden guards.
Now, he gave it to Wen Qin.
"I know that several princes have always been hostile to you, and some ministers are also quite critical." The emperor shook his hand, looked down at the wrench in his hand, "as long as it is in your hand, no matter who succeeds you, He dare not touch you."
Wen Qin was shocked, "Your Majesty!"
"You still have a long way to go, and this is what I want to give you, to accompany you along the way." The emperor touched his head, "Of course, there are still many things, I will tell you slowly you."
Wen Qin had mixed feelings for a moment, and suddenly the words that the emperor said back then rang in his ears.
"I'll give you what I can give you."
I thought I was smart and made all the plans, collected all kinds of treasures to ensure a worry-free next life.But he didn't expect that the emperor had made an arrangement early on, an arrangement that he could still be a master and enjoy the glory and wealth even after facing the battle for the throne.
No wonder he was so angry when he heard that he said he would never step into this circle again, but he thought it through early.
There was some enthusiasm in Wen Qin's eyes.
***
In the 23rd year of Yuanshuo, a piece of "Ode to the People" caused the examiner to sigh three times, and he was awarded the number one scholar on the spot. In the palace examination, the emperor Longyan Dayue repeatedly praised him for "becoming a talent at a young age", and he was immediately awarded the title of minister of the Ministry of Rites.
This former Mr. Wen, now the Zhuangyuan Wen, is handsome and elegant, with a beautiful appearance. He was in the limelight for a while, wearing the uniform of the champion, and the guard of honor circled the entire capital in a splendid way. Thousands of people flocked to see that place. Champion Lang.
There was a shy girl who fell in love with this person at first sight, regardless of her shyness, kept asking who this person was from, but no one knew.
Wearing a court uniform, Wen Qin walked slowly into the court with a tall and straight figure.The ministers on both sides looked sideways, with approval and appreciation in their eyes.
This Wen Qin had no fame in the past, and only relied on being favored by the emperor to be looked up to by others. He thought that he would be released from the palace when he turned 16, but he didn't expect to become the number one scholar.
The title of this number one scholar is not mixed with any moisture at all. On the examination paper, a poem "Sighing on the People" was spread among the people, and was spread to the north and south of the river. Everyone praised the reputation of this number one scholar.
In the palace examination, he was even more eloquent and talented.The minister only sighed in his heart that it was indeed the emperor who taught him himself, and he had the talents of the world.
"Minister of Rites, Wen Qin, kowtow to the emperor." Wen Qin saluted respectfully.
The emperor's eyes showed a bit of pride, "Get up."
"Your Majesty, the servant of the Ministry of Rites is indeed the son of General Wen. His young and heroic appearance is really the joy of my court." The minister congratulated him.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen is elegant and elegant, and has the ability to manage the world. The tiger father has no dogs. Mr. Wen has not disgraced General Wen's expectations!"
"His Majesty……"
The emperor was a little annoyed, he obviously taught it by himself, but he always said that General Wen had no sons.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen has followed His Majesty since he was a child. It is worthy of His Majesty who personally taught him and won the champion in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of His Majesty's tireless teaching that Mr. Wen can achieve today's glory."
"His Majesty……"
The emperor was a little satisfied, yes, that's right.
Wen Qin stood in the hall and listened to everyone's compliments. It was actually quite boring. Although he kept praising himself, he was a little tired when he was almost done.
The fourth prince standing beside him chuckled, "Don't fall asleep."
"How do you know I'm going to fall asleep." Wen Qin finally woke up.
"I have to hear some compliments like this every day in the court, and occasionally I hear words of swearing from officials, just get used to it." The fourth prince said in a low voice.
"..."
After finally making it to the next court, the fourth prince and Wen Qin went back to the mansion together, and Xu Shangshu greeted him with a smile.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Lord Wen." Xu Shangshu arched his hands and said with a smile, "A lot of lotus flowers have bloomed in the mansion in recent days. I would like to invite the two of you to enjoy the lotus together."
"Thank you Xu Shangshu, I will definitely visit you some other day." The fourth prince said gently.
Xu Shangshu was satisfied and left happily.
"What does he mean?" Wen Qin was a little puzzled.
"He has a daughter." The Fourth Prince said.
Wen Qin immediately understood.
"But if it's a lotus reward, I can take you somewhere else." The fourth prince habitually reached out his hand to touch his head, remembering that this little guy was already the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he smiled and withdrew his hand.
"I don't know?" The emperor's face paled, "Could it be that you deliberately lured Qinqin out of the palace? Not only did he wantonly renovate Wen's mansion, but he didn't even enter the palace gate at night, and stayed outside the palace all the time."
The fourth prince did not look calm, "Father, according to common sense, foreign men over the age of 16 are not allowed to stay in the palace. Wen Qin will have his 16th birthday in a short time. Now we are renovating the Wen mansion. After his birthday, he can move out." .”
The emperor's face was even more ugly, "Although the palace rules are so, but Qinqin has lived in the palace since he was a child. I have long regarded him as my son. Although the prince can marry and enter the mansion at the age of 16, the unmarried prince still lives in the palace. Qinqin has just turned 16, do you want me to drive him out of the palace?"
"Qinqin himself also hopes to have his own mansion." The fourth prince said calmly, "He designed many interesting things himself, and the emperor will like it after seeing it."
"He is a child, and he is still playing around, how can he take care of the Wen Mansion?" The emperor frowned, "Plus, he has not yet achieved fame, so he can only live in the capital as a commoner. The people around him are from Extraordinary, valuable status, how to get along with them when Chinqin meets them again in the future?"
Every official position of the military officials in North Korea and China was closely watched by others. If they were confiscated without merit, it would not be a good thing for Wen Qin.Now everyone respects and supports him, not because the emperor loves him.Wen Qin has always been innocent, if he leaves the palace and loses the emperor's favor, those who admired him in the past will inevitably fall into trouble.
The fourth prince didn't think about this, his hands froze, and his face turned ugly, "It's because I didn't think carefully."
The emperor closed his eyes, "Go back, Xuan Zhan, don't lure him out of the palace again."
The fourth prince bent down, "Yes."
After leaving the palace, Wen Qin was still watching the workers repairing the house. The progress was very fast and most of them had been completed.Wen Qin sat in a shady place, with the rain shower fanning him, and Shen Ling beside him also turned into a servant, feeding him from time to time.
Wen Qin bit a grape, and with a brush in his hand, he drew on the paper, "Bandu Shen, what do you think?"
Shen Ling lowered his head and glanced at his drawing, showing some appreciation, "Very good."
Wen Qin's paintings are very good, and the pavilions and pavilions he drew are very beautiful. Seeing that Shen Ling said it was good, Wen Qin felt a little proud, "The craftsman also said that I am very talented."
Shen Ling smiled a little, and even Shuyu, who was fanning the wind, smiled lightly.Seeing that Wen Qin's eyes are innocent and his heart is clear, if he leaves the palace and guards Wen's mansion alone, it will be good to live freely without being restrained by the palace.
"Shen Budu, you just wait to prepare a gift for me from Luofu." Wen Qin was delighted.
Just as he was talking, the fourth prince came in. Seeing Wen Qin designing the garden here, his eyes dimmed, "What is Qinqin doing?"
"The pavilion in the garden." Wen Qin cocked his tail triumphantly, and showed him the blueprint in his hand, "Isn't it beautiful?"
The fourth prince took a closer look and patted his head, "It's very innovative." Seeing that Wen Qin was happy, he couldn't help but said, "Do you want to go back to the palace tonight?"
"Why?" Wen Qin frowned, "Today they can repair the bedroom on one side. I want to see it."
"Think about how long it's been since you greeted your father?" The fourth prince smiled, "There's no rush for this renovation."
Just as Wen Qin was about to say something, he suddenly remembered that Shen Ling had said that the fourth prince was summoned by the emperor today, and he felt a "thump" in his heart, and immediately understood.The fourth prince has not said much these days, but today he suddenly mentioned the emperor, obviously the emperor deliberately mentioned this matter.
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since I went back, and I have not seen the emperor for more than half a month.Wen Qin was a little annoyed, he was only focused on Huanxi's going out of the palace, and even forgot to check in at the emperor's place, which annoyed the emperor, and he really lost his composure.
Standing up quickly, "Then I will go to the palace to see His Majesty, and I will leave this place to the craftsman for a few days."
The fourth prince nodded and said with a light smile, "Okay."
Seeing Wen Qin hurried back, the fourth prince smiled and said in a low voice, "It's not too stupid."
Hastily entered the palace, saw Zhang Fu guarding the gate of Zhengqing Palace, smiled at him and wanted to go in, who knew that Zhang Fu actually stood in front of him, smiled, "Mr. Wen, you can't go in..."
"Is there a minister discussing matters?" Wen Qin was puzzled.
Zhang Fu shook his head, "No."
"Is there a concubine?" Wen Qin asked again.
"No."
"Then why didn't you let me in?" Wen Qin was a little puzzled.
Zhang Fu touched his nose, "The emperor said, you haven't returned to the palace for so long, it seems that you don't want to come back, so don't come back..."
"..." Wen Qin understood, and was really angry.Pushing Zhang Fu's hand, "Zhang Fu, if you don't let me in, isn't my trip in vain?"
"This..." Zhang Fu was also very embarrassed.
"Although the emperor said so, he must really want to see me." Wen Qin laughed.
Zhang Fu hesitated, wondering whether he should believe Wen Qin's words. Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Qin slipped into his arm with his back bent down. Walking around outside the door.
After entering the Zhengqing Palace, the emperor was reviewing the memorial. Seeing him coming, his face was pale, "Why are you here? It's not that Zhang Fu blocked you."
"Your Majesty." Wen Qin smiled, "I have been busy repairing the Wen Mansion these days, and forgot to greet you. How are you doing these days, Your Majesty?"
The emperor glanced at him, "Did you remember today?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me." Wen Qin said with a smile, lying on the imperial case without any sign of guilt, "This is the first time I have designed it by myself. I think it is very interesting, and I was just addicted to it for a while."
"The imperial palace is so big, why do you want to go out to design it?" The emperor finally looked up at him, "There are so many people out there, and there are many thieves who don't know what to do. You are alone, what if you meet a thieves?"
"The fourth prince's mansion is right next to it. How can anyone dare to make trouble there." Wen Qin smiled, "Besides, there are rules in the palace, and every building is particular about it. Come to point fingers, I can't play wild in the palace."
The emperor snorted coldly after hearing this, "Excuse me, you can't be wild, and you have been wild for so many years."
"How dare you...I've been fighting cautiously..." Wen Qin muttered.
The emperor laughed back angrily, "You repaired the Wen Mansion early, did you plan to leave the palace long ago?"
Wen Qin knew he couldn't hide it, so he nodded.
"I treat you as my own son, so will I drive you out? You actually made a plan so early behind my back." The emperor felt a little helpless.
Wen Qin was a little guilty, and unintentionally tugged on the crimson python robe. His spending was indeed no different from that of the prince.The embroidered gold python robe is added to the body, and the golden crown on the head has a warm oriental bead on the left and right, and a pair of red tassels hanging down the shoulders on both sides, bright and generous.Even the ceremonial guards for travel are not bad at all.
"Your Majesty, I am a foreigner after all, and I will leave the palace sooner or later." Wen Qin hesitated.
"You are still young when you go out of the palace. The imperial examination is held once every three years. If you take part in the imperial examination soon, I will give you the position of servant of the Ministry of Rites. Now that you don't have an official position, you will inevitably be despised." The emperor frowned slightly. Good friends, Sun Shaochuan, Zhao Yinyu... Which one is not from a distinguished family and aristocrats, you are now a commoner when you leave the palace, how do you get along with each other when we meet again in the future."
Wen Qin knew what the emperor meant, and he had thought about it a long time ago, but he was contrary to the emperor's thoughts, so he had to keep silent at this time.
Seeing that he was silent, the emperor's eyes showed a little thought, and then a little disbelief, "You...you have already planned it, you don't want to make friends with them, and you don't plan to enter the palace again, right? "
"Your Majesty... I think it's good to be a commoner." Wen Qin hesitated.
Seeing that he really wanted to leave this circle, the emperor was furious, "You have outstanding talent, why are you willing to be a commoner!"
"Your Majesty..." Wen Qin didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the Seventh Prince and the Fourth Prince. It's always bad to hurt yourself by mistake. It's not bad to think about leaving the palace early and being at ease.
The emperor couldn't figure out why Wen Qin would rather be a commoner than enter the palace as an official. How could a commoner's life compare to a life of glory and wealth.Wen Qin was raised by him alone, so outstanding, he should stand on a high ground and look down on others, instead of being willing to become an ant.
"It's not suitable for you to live in Fu'an Palace now. Move back to Zhengqing Palace and you are not allowed to go out." The emperor frowned slightly, "The matter of Wen's Mansion is put on hold for now, and no further construction is allowed."
"Your Majesty!" Wen Qin was unhappy, begging all over his face, "I have drawn the blueprint for a long time, and I have waited for a long time, how can I say that if I don't build it, I won't build it."
"If I say it's not allowed, then it's not allowed." The emperor ignored his coquetry and cuteness, and said firmly.
Wen Qin dejectedly said, "All right, all right."
The matter of going out of the palace was put on hold just like that, and it didn't take long for Wen Qin's 16th birthday to be ushered in.
The emperor wanted to make a big deal, but he just thought that the fourth prince's 16th birthday was not too grand, so Wen Qin stopped the emperor's idea and just wanted to hold a low-key banquet.
Invited some friends and old acquaintances, and got together lively.Singing and dancing all night long, the sound of laughter and fights can be heard endlessly, it is very lively.
"I know Mr. Wen likes treasures. I got a new interesting thing a few days ago." Sun Shaochuan, a good friend for many years, smiled and took out a golden abacus. The beads are carefully polished by craftsmen with fat jade to make them round and symmetrical, and each bead is the same size, which is why this abacus was obtained. Wouldn’t it bring good luck to use it?”
"Good! It's wonderful!" Wen Qin repeatedly praised.
"Wen Qin, it's interesting to look at me." Zhao Yinyu smiled very proudly, "This bracelet was consecrated by Master Yunyun, and it is said that it can attract wealth and peach blossoms. Wearing it will bring good luck, and the luck of wealth cannot be stopped! "
The bracelet is a simple red rope with seven round wooden beads carved with lifelike peach blossoms, which looks very delicate.
"Take it with you, it's for attracting peach blossoms." Zhao Yinyu said with a smile, and put the bracelet on his hand.
Regardless of whether it is useful or not, it still looks good on it, and it is very beautiful against the jade white wrist.Wen Qin raised his eyebrows, "It seems that I have to pay attention to it recently."
A few more people presented gifts one after another, and the combs beside her were carefully put away one by one.Among them, the girls gave fan covers, purses and other things to express their hearts.
Zhao Yinyu looked regretful, Wen Qin didn't need to recruit peach blossoms, this bracelet should be kept for himself, right?
Not long after, the fourth prince and Shen Ling also arrived. Seeing Wen Qin surrounded by a group of young girls, the fourth prince raised his eyebrows, "Qinqin is so popular with girls?"
Shen Ling took a few more glances, and Qing Lingling's eyes also had a melted smile, "It's always been like this."
Most of the girls in that group were very reserved. Occasionally, a few bold and shy ones asked Wen Qin when he would get married. One girl even took a purse and put it in Wen Qin's hand, wanting him to accept it.
Wen Qin smiled politely and detachedly, and just asked the comb rain to be put away.
When the seventh prince arrived, he saw Wen Qin accepting the gift with a smile.
"What did the Seventh Prince prepare?" The friend on the side laughed, "It seems that he didn't have anything in his hand."
The Seventh Prince was empty-handed, "My gift is not here."
"Where is that?"
The fourth prince knew what the seventh prince seemed to be doing all the time, but he didn't know exactly what it was.Seeing him playing tricks, I was also a little interested.
The Seventh Prince squeezed into the group of chattering girls, took Wen Qin's hand with one hand, and pulled him out of the group of girls, "Come with me."
Wen Qin didn't know why, so he followed the seventh prince to a place.The rest of the people were also a little curious about what was being given, and followed.
The Seventh Prince dragged him to a higher platform.This place was originally a high platform to watch the scenery, it was empty and quiet, and at this moment, everyone came forward, but they were a little puzzled.
Wen Qin looked around, it was pitch black with no light, and there was really nothing to see, "Why are you here?"
"You'll know right away." The Seventh Prince smiled smugly, and said firmly, "You will like it."
Wen Qin raised his eyebrows, and just as he was about to ask, he saw countless red lanterns swinging up with the wind.
As if making an appointment, all of a sudden, thousands of red lights rise against the wind, and go straight up ninety thousand miles with the wind.The entire dark night was lit up, and one after another red lanterns floated up, slowly rising into the sky.The place is empty, and the red lights are like countless red lotuses that suddenly bloom, slowly rising into the sky.
Such a beautiful scenery is really amazing. For a while, many official women exhaled in surprise, holding their handkerchiefs tightly excitedly.The palace people from all the palaces also came out one after another to watch the spectacle and cheered happily.
Wen Qin's eyes lit up with red lights, and there was a bit of surprise in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, immersed in the amazing scenery, and 520 beside him also opened his mouth wide in surprise, "It's so beautiful."
The Seventh Prince took a few glances, turned his head with a slight smile, and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?"
"I like it." Wen Qin opened his eyes wide and murmured.
The night was dark, and the faint lights of red lanterns fell on Wen Qin's face. The warm red shimmer made his expression extra gentle.
"Wen Qin." The Seventh Prince's long eyelashes trembled.
"What?" Wen Qin asked.
"Well... I wish you peace and joy." The Seventh Prince paused and said again.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Wen Qin turned his head and looked at him with a smile, "This is the best gift I have ever received."
"Cough... as long as you like it." The Seventh Prince coughed lightly, "I just arranged it casually."
In the Zhengqing Palace, the emperor heard the exclamation of the palace people, and walked outside the palace, seeing the red lanterns all over the sky.After looking at it for a while, he chuckled, "Xuan Che must have let it go."
"Yes." Zhang Fu smiled, "Your Majesty is really clever."
The emperor smiled, "He is very much like me when I was young."
"Your Majesty said so." Zhang Fu also smiled slightly.
At the banquet, Wen Qin, as the host, had to keep paying back to other people's wine. Fortunately, Shu Yu kept pouring him plain water, otherwise he really couldn't hold on.
Just as he was talking, Song Liansheng, who had always been thinking about Wen Qin, saluted him with a glass of wine, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes. An ordinary man would have already softened his body, but it is a pity that Wen Qin is not an ordinary man , he bent very thoroughly, just staring at her with a faint smile.
The admiration in Song Liansheng's heart is one after another. Others can't walk when they see her. If they give her a smiling face, they will look ecstatic. Only Wen Qin is different. He doesn't value beauty, but more What is in the heart.
Although my father kept saying that Wen Qin was not a good match, he would always marry, wouldn't he? If so, why couldn't he be the one to marry Wen Qin?
"Wen Qin, here's a toast to you." Song Liansheng pinched the wine cup, seeing that Wen Qin's wine glass was empty, she smiled and took a jug from the side and poured it into his glass.
The face of Shu Yu who was at the side changed. She tampered with the jug, separating the wine from the water.If you pour wine for others, what comes out is wine, if you pour it for Wen Qin, press one place, and what comes out is water.
Naturally, Song Liansheng didn't understand the rules, so she poured wine for Wen Qin, and shyly held the wine glass and handed it to Wen Qin, "Mr. Wen, please drink."
Shu Yu's expression changed, "Master!"
Wen Qin was holding the wine glass, if he didn't drink it, he would really lose face. Thinking about his drinking capacity, he shouldn't be too light, and when he drank it all in one gulp, a touch of red appeared on his face.
Standing in front of him, Song Liansheng was stunned. How could there be such a handsome person whose face was instantly covered in pink, like a rose that suddenly bloomed, so delicate and beautiful that people wanted to pick it.
Shu Yu closed her eyes, and opened them again feeling helpless.
Wen Qin didn't expect the wine to be so strong, he was dizzy after drinking it, and seeing that Song Liansheng in front of him was still fine, he couldn't help doubting his drinking capacity.
Song Liansheng wanted to say a few more words, but Shu Yu stepped forward to stop her in a cold voice, "Miss Song, go back, the master will have two glasses of wine with the fourth prince."
Song Liansheng had no choice but to stare at Shuyu with dissatisfaction, and had no choice but to return to his seat slowly.
Shu Yu helped Wen Qin up with one hand, "Master, you can't drink... Forget it, let's go."
Wen Qin obediently followed Shuyu to leave the table, but he was unwilling to leave after a while, "Shuyu, I can't walk anymore."
Shu Yu frowned, looking at Wen Qin who was sitting on the ground reaching out to her, feeling a little helpless, "Walk a little longer? We'll be there soon."
"I can't walk anymore, comb the rain, carry me on your back." Wen Qin really couldn't tell he was drunk, his long eyelashes drooped, he looked pitiful, and his cheeks were flushed.
Shu Yu's heart softened, "Slave, can you find someone to carry the sedan chair?"
Wen Qin nodded obediently, "Okay."
Wen Qin was sitting in a nearby booth, lying on the table and waiting. After a while, another person came. Seeing Wen Qin sitting here alone, he was immediately happy.
"Mr. Wen? Mr. Wen?" Song Liansheng felt a little strange seeing Wen Qin leaving with Shu Yu, and followed her quietly. Seeing that Wen Qin seemed a little drunk, Shu Yu seemed to have said something, and left in a hurry.
When Wen Qin heard the voice, he just glanced at it in confusion, and was so drunk that he passed out.
"Really drunk?" Song Liansheng's heart melted when she saw it. How could Wen Qin be so cute when he was drunk, with a soft and ignorant look, "Does Mr. Wen have someone he likes?"
"People I like...no..." Wen Qin lisps.
"What does Mr. Wen think of me?" Song Liansheng asked anxiously.
"Who are you?" Wen Qin squinted his eyes for a long time but couldn't see clearly.
Song Liansheng's hands were shaking, "Song Liansheng! I'm Song Liansheng!"
"I like you very much..." Wen Qin seemed to have thought of something, his eyes lighted up slightly, "Your dress...is beautiful..."
"...I'm really drunk..." Bai was agitated, and Song Liansheng was a little helpless.
Seeing how drunk he was, he probably couldn't ask anything, but she was really unwilling. Seeing that he was so drunk that she didn't even recognize anyone, Song Liansheng was a little ready to move.
"Can I give you a kiss..." Song Liansheng stared at his face, seeing him blinking in bewilderment, his long eyelashes curled up and down, she was really moved, "Just touch it lightly..."
Saying this, Song Liansheng couldn't help getting closer.
"Miss Song, what are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly sounded, scaring Song Liansheng to stand up quickly, and ran away in a hurry.
Shen Ling frowned slightly, stepped forward and saw Wen Qin sitting there drunkenly, crooked as if he was about to fall to the ground in a second, so she hurried forward to hold him, Wen Qin leaned on his waist, vaguely Said, "Shen Biandu, you are here, just in time, let's go hunting ghosts together."
"..."
"Go to heaven together."
"..."
"Ban Shen, can you fly?" Wen Qin grabbed his jade belt and rubbed against his chest, with his head held high and his face full of anticipation.
"No." Shen Ling met his glimmering eyes, then turned his head away.
"Hey, I have had a dream of being an astronaut since I was a child." Wen Qin felt a little regretful.
"Mr. Wen, what are you talking about..." Shen Ling felt as if he was about to be caught as he grabbed the jade belt.
Fortunately, Shu Yu came back in a hurry. Seeing Wen Qin like this, he was a little ashamed, "Don't be surprised when reading with Shen, the master is drunk and talking nonsense."
"I didn't!" Wen Qin puffed up, "I want to catch ghosts with Shen Ling, so that no bad luck will disturb me!"
"Okay, okay, catch ghosts and catch ghosts." Shu Yu hinted with his eyes.
Shen Ling's face was stiff, and he said obediently, "Well, catch ghosts."
Helping Wen Qin into the soft sedan chair, he hurriedly carried him back to the Zhengqing Palace, combed his brow with sweat, saw Shen Ling still standing outside the palace, and quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
"It's nothing." The scene suddenly resembled that day nine years ago when he carried Wen Qin back from the cold palace. After thinking about it, it's been so long.
Shen Ling took a purse and handed it to Shu Yu, "I know that Wen Qin has everything, and I can't find more interesting rare treasures. This is the peace talisman I asked Master for, and I brought it to Wen Qin. Bar."
Combing the rain brought a little surprise, "Thank you, Mr. Shen."
Shen Ling's master is not an ordinary person, but the head of Xunbaishan. The peace talisman in his hand must not be an ordinary thing.
Shen Ling smiled lightly, "Then I'll go first."
When Wen Qin woke up the next day, he had a headache and rubbed his temples. He accidentally touched a brocade box next to the pillow with his hand. He took it over and looked at it suspiciously. When he opened it, there was a finger puller inside.
The thumb was translucent green and looked extremely precious. Wen Qin played with it suspiciously and put it on his thumb.
The wrench became more and more familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it before. Wen Qin held the wrench in confusion.
Shu Yu came in with some things to wash and wash. Seeing that Wen Qin was still wondering about the wrench, he explained, "Many of the gifts that were sent yesterday were very expensive. For example, the golden lotus that the Fourth Prince gave were all taken away by the servants. Then It was delivered by Eunuch Zhang Fu himself yesterday, because it was sent by His Majesty, so I took it out alone."
"I remembered...this is what His Majesty has been carrying." Wen Qin suddenly remembered.
"My lord, don't forget to thank you." Shu Yu reminded.
Wen Qin nodded.
He went to the main hall with the wrench, and the emperor was painting. Seeing Wen Qin coming, with the wrench on his hand, he smiled lightly, "Here we come."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for pulling your finger." Wen Qin said with a smile.
"You have to put this thing away." The emperor put down his pen, looking serious, "Don't throw it away."
It was rare for Wen Qin to see the emperor look so serious, and he was taken aback, "Is this finger wrench useful?"
The emperor rolled his eyes, "With this finger pull, whoever becomes the emperor in the future will come to beg you."
This finger is the token of the hidden guard, every emperor will take over this hidden team, he will be the most powerful arm of the emperor.Only every emperor knows about the hidden guards.
Now, he gave it to Wen Qin.
"I know that several princes have always been hostile to you, and some ministers are also quite critical." The emperor shook his hand, looked down at the wrench in his hand, "as long as it is in your hand, no matter who succeeds you, He dare not touch you."
Wen Qin was shocked, "Your Majesty!"
"You still have a long way to go, and this is what I want to give you, to accompany you along the way." The emperor touched his head, "Of course, there are still many things, I will tell you slowly you."
Wen Qin had mixed feelings for a moment, and suddenly the words that the emperor said back then rang in his ears.
"I'll give you what I can give you."
I thought I was smart and made all the plans, collected all kinds of treasures to ensure a worry-free next life.But he didn't expect that the emperor had made an arrangement early on, an arrangement that he could still be a master and enjoy the glory and wealth even after facing the battle for the throne.
No wonder he was so angry when he heard that he said he would never step into this circle again, but he thought it through early.
There was some enthusiasm in Wen Qin's eyes.
***
In the 23rd year of Yuanshuo, a piece of "Ode to the People" caused the examiner to sigh three times, and he was awarded the number one scholar on the spot. In the palace examination, the emperor Longyan Dayue repeatedly praised him for "becoming a talent at a young age", and he was immediately awarded the title of minister of the Ministry of Rites.
This former Mr. Wen, now the Zhuangyuan Wen, is handsome and elegant, with a beautiful appearance. He was in the limelight for a while, wearing the uniform of the champion, and the guard of honor circled the entire capital in a splendid way. Thousands of people flocked to see that place. Champion Lang.
There was a shy girl who fell in love with this person at first sight, regardless of her shyness, kept asking who this person was from, but no one knew.
Wearing a court uniform, Wen Qin walked slowly into the court with a tall and straight figure.The ministers on both sides looked sideways, with approval and appreciation in their eyes.
This Wen Qin had no fame in the past, and only relied on being favored by the emperor to be looked up to by others. He thought that he would be released from the palace when he turned 16, but he didn't expect to become the number one scholar.
The title of this number one scholar is not mixed with any moisture at all. On the examination paper, a poem "Sighing on the People" was spread among the people, and was spread to the north and south of the river. Everyone praised the reputation of this number one scholar.
In the palace examination, he was even more eloquent and talented.The minister only sighed in his heart that it was indeed the emperor who taught him himself, and he had the talents of the world.
"Minister of Rites, Wen Qin, kowtow to the emperor." Wen Qin saluted respectfully.
The emperor's eyes showed a bit of pride, "Get up."
"Your Majesty, the servant of the Ministry of Rites is indeed the son of General Wen. His young and heroic appearance is really the joy of my court." The minister congratulated him.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen is elegant and elegant, and has the ability to manage the world. The tiger father has no dogs. Mr. Wen has not disgraced General Wen's expectations!"
"His Majesty……"
The emperor was a little annoyed, he obviously taught it by himself, but he always said that General Wen had no sons.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wen has followed His Majesty since he was a child. It is worthy of His Majesty who personally taught him and won the champion in one fell swoop."
"Your Majesty, it is precisely because of His Majesty's tireless teaching that Mr. Wen can achieve today's glory."
"His Majesty……"
The emperor was a little satisfied, yes, that's right.
Wen Qin stood in the hall and listened to everyone's compliments. It was actually quite boring. Although he kept praising himself, he was a little tired when he was almost done.
The fourth prince standing beside him chuckled, "Don't fall asleep."
"How do you know I'm going to fall asleep." Wen Qin finally woke up.
"I have to hear some compliments like this every day in the court, and occasionally I hear words of swearing from officials, just get used to it." The fourth prince said in a low voice.
"..."
After finally making it to the next court, the fourth prince and Wen Qin went back to the mansion together, and Xu Shangshu greeted him with a smile.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, Lord Wen." Xu Shangshu arched his hands and said with a smile, "A lot of lotus flowers have bloomed in the mansion in recent days. I would like to invite the two of you to enjoy the lotus together."
"Thank you Xu Shangshu, I will definitely visit you some other day." The fourth prince said gently.
Xu Shangshu was satisfied and left happily.
"What does he mean?" Wen Qin was a little puzzled.
"He has a daughter." The Fourth Prince said.
Wen Qin immediately understood.
"But if it's a lotus reward, I can take you somewhere else." The fourth prince habitually reached out his hand to touch his head, remembering that this little guy was already the servant of the Ministry of Rites, he smiled and withdrew his hand.
