Rong Jian, who was forced to open the book, read the book for a while with uneasy conscience, and did not go to bed until late at night.

It is always difficult to get up in winter, and it is cold when there is a charcoal fire outside, and want to stay in bed all day.

So Rong Jian was still sleepy after waking up, and when Aunt Zhou was dressing him, he almost couldn't keep his eyes open.

It was time for breakfast that Ling Song came forward and talked with Rong Jian.Now she is with Aunt Zhou and is responsible for taking care of the private treasury.

Rong Jian felt that Ling Song had the talent in this area, so he might as well try it, and he would not doubt Lingsong's character.

Ling Song is a capable girl, but for some reason she cannot be reused in front of Concubine Xiao Gui.Probably because she is good-looking, and she is not a maid she brought from outside the palace, so she will not trust her.

Ling Song didn't serve her personally, but she could see clearly that it wasn't the long princess who was vigilant against herself, but the long princess had no other close people besides Aunt Zhou.

Generally speaking, a master who is seventeen or eighteen years old still has court ladies of similar age around him.And that aunt Zhou is not busy, she is very busy, and she is also responsible for the princess's grooming and makeup every day.

Why is the long princess so different from others?

Ling Song had such doubts in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Changle Palace is a place she is not familiar with, she has to look at it first, and then decide what to do.

After packing up his things, Si Fu even hugged his books, originally planning to go to class.

A little palace maid suddenly came in and reported: "Your Highness, there is someone from the Empress Dowager's side."

Rong JIan was a little surprised, raised his head, and saw Nanny Chen leading the way, followed by several aunts, who were walking in with something in their hands.

When Mother Chen saw Rong Jian, she saluted first, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager knows that you will go to the Huguo Temple to ask for Buddhist gifts in a few days, so she sent an old slave to come and give instructions on behalf of the empress."

Rong Jian sat back on the stool, took out a book from Si Fu, and opened it casually, meaning he was listening.

Chen Momo didn't seem to care about such a small matter, and she directly reported: "When the day comes, please leave this morning, Your Highness, and invite a stick of morning incense for the Empress Dowager."

Among other things, it is true that the Empress Dowager is obsessed with Buddhism. In her capacity, such a thing as inviting Zaoxiang can be ordered by the monks of Huguo Temple to do it every day.But she felt that she was so dishonest, she couldn't do it, she had to ask Rong JIan to beg for her as a junior when she left the palace.

Rong Jian nodded.

Grandma Chen asked people to present those Buddhist rituals, and continued: "Your Majesty, there are a few commonly used Buddhist rituals and relics, which must be washed in the pure spring water, and then please ask the presiding officer to bless them."

"After everything is done, please ask the princess to kneel down in Baolian Hall and chant scriptures for a day, praying for Da Yin."

Rong Jian listened, wondering whether this is a follow-up visit to see a doctor or to seek guilt.

Unfortunately, Empress Dowager probably didn't intend to torture herself this time, she just had so many things for Rong Jian to do.

Rong Jian's hands pressed on the pages of the book, with a lot of strength, even the fingertips turned white.

Everyone around could tell that the princess seemed extremely impatient after hearing such strict discipline.

Nanny Chen bowed, with a deep and flattering smile on her face, but her words seemed to add fuel to the fire: "Your Highness, don't worry. When the day comes, this old slave will definitely accompany you, and won't let His HighnessI'm alone. If His Highness wants anything, this old slave will definitely do it for His Highness."

Not only Ling Song frowned because of this sentence, but even the aunts in the Hall of Compassion and Peace behind her felt that Nanny Chen was too bold just because she had the support of Empress Dowager.

How dare he threaten the princess like this, saying that at that time, he will supervise whether he is serious about kneeling and reciting that day, and he will not relax.

Rong Jian glanced at her lightly, but didn't speak.

Among the people present, he was the only one who understood the meaning of Nanny Chen's words.That is the meaning on the surface, when kneeling and reciting that day, there will only be Madam Chen to accompany her in Baolian Temple, just like writing Buddhist scriptures that day, Rong JIan can do whatever he wants.

After everyone went out, Rong Jian held his chin, and then showed a very expectant smile.It's like a student who has taken more than ten days of classes for two consecutive weeks and is finally about to wait for the autumn tour.

Rong Jian not only didn't want to recite any Buddhist scriptures, but he also wanted to do other things.

Zhu Quan said cryptically that the Huguo Temple occupies a huge area and is located on Baiyun Mountain. It has a history of hundreds of years and has been renovated more than ten times.If there are too many, you can only guard the gate and the side door, but you can't guard all the roads.

Rong JIan will have a full, unfettered day off.

Thinking of this, when he walked into the yard, he accidentally saw the osmanthus tree by his window.

Akeno has been on the laurel tree many times.

Akeno is the kind of genius with high efficiency, Rong Jian has observed it before.Once, the teacher assigned homework, saying that he would use a very partial book as an auxiliary explanation in the next class, and asked the students to read it in advance.Akeno can maintain complete concentration, finish studying that book, and then extract the usefulness of that book based on the content of the lecture that Mr.But Rong Jian can't do that. He is an ordinary person who follows objective laws, and he will be distracted when he is tired or bored.

So when you see blooming flowers, you will think of the spring breeze, when you see running water, you will think of swimming fish, and when you see osmanthus trees, you will think of Akino who knocked on your window.

He is easily influenced, so what can be done?

Just like now, he has a vacation out of the palace gate, this is coming to this world, the first time he really saw the outside world, so he really wanted to go shopping with Ming Ye, like a very good friend, yessomeone you can trust.

Rong Jian felt that he was really a little naive.

But since his current level of education is equivalent to that of an ancient primary school student, it's okay to be a little school student.

Rong Jian thought confidently.

Early this morning, excerpts flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes.

It's not that there is any major event in the local area, but this kind of dispute is about the princess's marriage.

As we all know, after the death of the first emperor, the courtiers, son-in-law, and Empress Dowager made a covenant of gentlemen, and when the princess grew up, the son of the Rong family born would inherit the throne.Although Fei Jinyi temporarily became the emperor, he did not hold the enthronement ceremony. He did not inherit the mandate of heaven.

In recent years, Fei Jinyi has been close to the aristocratic family, and has been indifferent to the various actions of the aristocratic family, which has made many courtiers who have experienced the decline of the previous dynasty even more disturbed.

In the past, the princess hid in the deep palace on the grounds that she was young. Now that the Empress Dowager has revealed the matter of the son-in-law, the courtiers must take this opportunity to let the princess really choose the son-in-law to marry and raise a child and give birth to a new emperor.

Today is the court meeting again, and the courtiers have already put in all their energy, and they just waited to write a letter together this morning to force Fei Jinyi to agree to this time.

For such things, Cui Gui has always been on the sidelines, just watching everyone in the court hold their own opinions, arguing about life and death.He is the head of the officials, every move is very important, if even he has to stand up and play, it means that the situation is serious enough to have to be dealt with immediately.

Fei Jinyi flipped through the memorial, without saying a word, letting the debate continue.

After a while, he saw that the sun had shone into the Golden Luan Hall, and the time was almost up, and he finally said, "Everyone is either a Jinshi who has read poetry and books, or a noble son from the family of Zhongming Dingshi, so treat the Golden Luan Hall as a place of honor."The market outside the east gate is so noisy. Since Zhu Qing talked about the way of Confucius and Mencius, is there such a thing in the rites of Confucius?"

All the people present did not dare to speak, and pleaded guilty one after another.

Fei Jinyi sat on top of the crowd and said word by word: "In the final analysis, the princess's marriage is still my family's business. Lovers, don't have too long hands, it's in the harem."

This statement is actually untenable, but the words have been spoken, and it is time to go down, Fei Jinyi walked away, and the remaining courtiers could only look at each other, wondering what the result of today's verbal battle would be.

no result.

Cui Gui narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to the sighs of colleagues around him, there was no fluctuation in his heart, perhaps because he had expected it.

After going down to court, Fei Jinyi returned to the imperial study room with lingering anger.

After staying for a quarter of an hour, Wang Zhiheng, Minister of Rites, came to see him.

Fei Jinyi said: "Get up."

Wang Zhiheng waited on the left and right, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Just now about the matter of the early court, I argued with the ministers, knowing that they are very selfish and dishonest to Your Majesty, I feel ashamed to be with them in the court."

Fei Jinyi said: "They really want me to abdicate all day long and let a young son take the throne."

Wang Zhiheng knelt down when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "I have a plan, I don't know if it is possible?"

Fei Jinyi seemed to have expected it a long time ago, with a smile on his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, and asked in a gentle voice: "Oh? So what is Aiqing's good plan?"

Wang Zhiheng is the eldest son of an aristocratic family, what he means is that in all major aristocratic families, there is a good man who is suitable for the princess.

The aristocratic families are intertwined, and they are married to each other. Although there is competition, it is not a relationship of mutual ebb and flow. They will even deliberately support a certain family when it is about to collapse.

They are different from the literati through the establishment of close connections between teachers and schools, but through blood relationship and time to expand their influence.After the fall of the previous dynasty, the blood connection between the family and the royal family was severed.Rong Shihuai was determined to clean up the family, but considering that the dynasty was established at the beginning, there were many trivial matters, and it was not peaceful, so he did not use ruthless measures.But even so, the aristocratic family was seriously injured, but they didn't completely collapse.With Fei Jinyi's support, he gradually recovered.

Fei Jinyi is extinct and cannot have any more sons.The throne must come from the princess, but it will be a matter of time.If the blood of the aristocratic family ascends to the throne in the end, they are all blood relatives, regardless of a certain surname, and everyone can get the sweetness.

Therefore, in the court today, the family only pretended to attack and did not use any force, but privately found Fei Jinyi to advise.

Wang Zhiheng continued: "Even if the princess gives birth to an emperor's heir in the future, how will the youngest son preside over the government? Your Majesty is the god of stability in this world, not to mention that there is no such thing as an old example of an emperor abdicating the throne."

The aristocratic family is willing to give up Fei Jinyi's time in this life. Their vision is not limited to this generation, but they are firmly rooted in this land with their blood to run the family.

This is how the aristocratic family exists. No matter how talented their children are, they will not take the imperial examinations, but rely on the graciousness of their ancestors to become officials.

Fei Jinyi sighed: "Wang Xie's family, I naturally know your loyalty, but above the court, there are many difficulties. Let's talk about it later."

Wang Zhiheng was overjoyed, he didn't mean to refuse completely.

Since this is the case, it is necessary to draw it slowly to impress Fei Jinyi, and don't rush it for a while.

Fei Jinyi looked at Wang Zhiheng going out, and sneered sinisterly.

Although he had already made arrangements, he let the princess get married as soon as everyone begged. Wouldn't it make the courtiers suspicious and show their feet?

He will be "forced" to agree, and even guide them to propose the person they want to choose.

The aristocratic family and the humble literati are two opposing forces in the court.

They don't want the other side's person to be on the throne of God even more than making their own person a consort.That being the case, at the end of the fight, both sides can only take a step back.

Not from a family, nor from a poor family.

The down-and-out noble is the best choice.The family background is not outstanding, there is no title, not a family, no power in his hands, but he was raised in the wealth heap since he was a child, and the son of an honor with no outstanding knowledge is the best candidate for the son-in-law.

Fei Jinyi wanted to make the court officials think that they pushed Fei Shichun to that position.

He thought so. He did a lot of things in the early stage, but no one knew his plan, not even Zhang Deshui beside him.

Rong Jian attended class all day, and at night, he heard about today's debate in court.

Rong JIan: "..."

If he didn't know anything about it when he just wore it, it might have passed by like that.However, now he has a lot of information, and the more he knows, the more troubled he is.

On the way back, Ming Ye was holding a lamp in front, Rong JIan was thinking a lot while walking, a little absent-minded, and accidentally stepped on Ming Ye's robe.

Mingye turned his head, raised the lamp slightly, and illuminated Rong Jian's face, he asked: "Is Your Highness unhappy?"

Rong Jian knew that his acting skills were not that good, he could hide it from Ming Ye in front of him, and he didn't want to be bored by himself, so he confessed: "I'm in a bad mood."

Akeno asked, "Is it because of the court affairs this morning?"

Rong Jian nodded.He felt very annoying and wanted to run away, but he couldn't, so he was even more annoying.

Ming Ye looked at Rong Jian's slightly frowned eyebrows: "Your Highness, you don't need to think about things that can't be solved temporarily. When the boat gets to the pier-head, it will go straight with the current, and there will be a solution when the time comes."

Rong Jian was stunned for a while, never thought that Ming Ye would say such a thing, because Ming Ye is a character who is determined to conquer nature and never admit defeat. If in "The Evil Seed", he muddled along at any moment and resigned himself to fate, it would not beThat's the solution.

Ming Ye said softly in that uncommon tone: "Because His Highness has worked very hard and is very tired."

Rong Jian's heart trembled.

In fact, since he came here, he has been pretending to be at ease, but in fact he is trembling, facing things that he has never touched in his life before, acting very freely.Maybe it was because of his different status, or maybe he pretended to be really good, everyone thought he was really good.

But not like that.Only Akeno can see the real him.

Rong Jian lowered his eyes and looked at the lantern directly below.The flames were burning, illuminating every detail of his face.Akeno could clearly see the curvature of each of his eyelashes, and could also feel the traces of trembling.

He said, "Okay. I'll forget about that for a while, then."

"……Thank you."

This person seems to be really easy to coax, he wants very few things, and he doesn't need to offer those precious treasures when he is unhappy, just a word is enough.

Akeno wanted to make him happier.

He suddenly had such a desire.People will have momentary impulses, and there is a high probability that they will do things that they regret.Akeno is used to planning ahead, he has calculated actions and results very clearly, so he will not do anything casually.But at this moment, he also had that impulse.

After returning to Changle Hall, Rong Jian's mood was indeed not that bad.

As Ming Ye said, he can't solve it anyway, so it's better to forget it for now.

It seems to be an escape, but there is really no other way.

Thinking of this, he felt that Aunt Zhou was too busy, so he took off the pearl hairpin by himself, but because of his clumsy hands, he accidentally pulled more than a dozen hairs.

Looking at the hair-wrapped jewelry in his hand, Rong Jian sighed, thinking that fortunately he has a lot of hair and doesn't care about it.

Suddenly, there was a sound from the window.

Rong Jian suspected that he had heard wrong, or that there was a wind blowing outside, and he accidentally photographed the window.

But he still stopped what he was doing, inexplicably looking forward to hearing that voice again.

When the window rang for the second time, Rong Jian trotted to the soft edge and pushed the window open.

Ming Ye sat on the laurel branch, those dark pupils seemed to be very obvious at night, just staring at him.

He said, "Your Highness, may I go in?"

Rong Jian didn't care about the cold wind in early winter, so he opened the window wider.

Mingye just fell on the window sill, with his left hand supporting the window lattice, and the other hand stretched out. Perhaps the wind outside was too strong, which made his hair a little messy, and a few strands of hair hung on his shoulders.It seemed different from usual, not so regular, more bohemian.

He said casually: "Your Highness, a gift for you."

Rong Jian raised his head, before hearing the words, he blinked slowly and slowly, and saw that thing rolling in Ming Ye's palm.He just recognized it, and it seemed to be a pen—something resembling a modern pencil.

After receiving that thing from Ming Ye, Rong Jian looked at it more carefully.The shell of this pen is not wood, but made up of small pieces of rounded shells, layered on top of each other, looking very gorgeous, more delicate and cumbersome than his shell jewelry.The middle is hollowed out and filled with eyebrows of appropriate thickness, which is just right for writing.

Rong Jian was stunned for a moment, he felt that he was really strange, and while his heart was beating wildly, he still asked: "Is this expensive? You won't buy this and go bankrupt!"

Akeno smiled very lowly: "It's not expensive. I made it myself. Isn't Your Highness used to writing with Meidai? This should be easier to use."

Rong Jian blinked his eyes, he felt that Ming Ye was really amazing, he was so stupid that he even pulled a lot of hair, but Ming Ye could make something that fit his habits according to some of his very random actions.

In fact, since coming here, Ming Ye has always been very kind to himself, he just occasionally bullies himself intentionally or unintentionally.

Rong Jian asked, "Why are you being so nice to me?"

When he said this sentence, Rong Jian seemed to be puzzled, but his voice was very soft and it sounded very sweet.

Akeno said seriously: "Because His Highness is very good."

Rong Jian's cheeks burned.He thought a lot inexplicably, and felt that the eighteen-year-old Mingye was very different from the future Mingye in "The Evil Seed". The eighteen-year-old Mingye was gentle and considerate. If he could treat other girls better in the future, like now, there will definitely be many people who like him, so that he will not end up alone.

Maybe it was hurt by the long princess incident?Treating the other party as a white-moonlight/muse, but being deliberately framed because of this, almost lost his life, and gave up, so hurt and sad, sealed the heart and locked the love?

Thinking of this, Rong Jian suddenly wanted to ask a question, he stammered, hesitating every word: "Ming Ye, then you think the original..."

But it still stopped here, Rong Jian felt that he still couldn't ask, it was an unnecessary and fruitless question.

But Ming Ye seems to be able to predict the future, his observation ability is too sharp, it seems that he can see the unfinished words of Rong Jian at a glance.

"The current Highness is the best Highness."

The candlelight in the room was very dim, and the lights were flickering, only Rong JIan's eyes were so bright, he was so shocked when he heard that sentence, so incomprehensible, his cheeks were red to the earlobes.

Mingye finds Rong JIan cute for no reason.

Compared with beautiful, beautiful, and moving, such more subjective words.

Akeno had never described a person like this.

Rong Jian tilted his head, compared to the question of running away just now, he seemed to be more desperate and lonely.

Rong Jian raised his chin slightly, begging Ming Ye in a dignified, naive, and coquettish manner, his voice still trembling slightly: "Then you have to remember me, remember Rong Jian."

Such willful and unreasonable words.

In fact, Rong JIan has lived so long, and there are very few times when he will be willful.He lost his parents since he was a child and was brought up by his elderly grandmother, so he has no right to be willful.But in front of Akeno, he always seems to be different from himself. This person will tolerate him and make him feel that no matter what he does, he can do it.

Akeno said: "I will always remember it."

Akeno never said forever, because there is nothing eternal in the world.Even he, in the process of growing up, thought and acted all the time changing.

But Rong Jian was someone Ming Ye could never forget, and it was an accident when Ming Ye returned at the age of eighteen.

Rong JIan made Ming Ye curious, a person who can see through but also can't see through, and also made Ming Ye do many things that he had never tried before.

If it wasn't for curiosity, Akeno might not have stayed in the palace for so long, he might have left long ago.

But there is no if, the accident has already happened, Rong Jian does exist here, and Ming Ye has not left.

Akeno repeated: "I will always remember Your Highness."

If in the Middle Ages in the West, the knight should kiss the back of the princess's hand and solemnly make such a promise, but this is in the ancient society of the East.

Between them—between Rong Jian and Ming Ye, there was no such ceremony, and Ming Ye said that, and Rong Jian believed it.

That's all.Rong JIan believes in what Akino said is forever.

The author has something to say:

- "Please remember me. Please remember me. Please remember me."

The one who is afraid, stumbles but walks bravely can only hope that this person will remember his own existence.
