At the end of Haishi, all the lights in High Capital were extinguished, only the lights in the study room of Cui's mansion in Dongjing Lane were still on.

Cui Gui is working at his desk, sorting out many affairs between the DPRK and China today.

The house he lives in is not big, he is over seventy years old, his parents have long passed away, and there are very few family members around him, only one wife and one daughter.Cui Gui's wife was injured when she was young, and she had no children. The two stayed together for more than 30 years.More than ten years ago, when the city was broken, Cui Gui's wife found a baby in a basket at the door. Seeing the child crying pitifully, she couldn't bear it. After discussing with Cui Gui, she raised her as a daughter and named herIt's called Cui Xiaozhu.

Cui Gui felt sorry for her old daughter.According to the rules, in her capacity, she should enter the palace to study with her, but Cui Gui didn't want to do that, and only hoped that she would be safe, so she was not sent to Ning Shizhai.

It was late at night, and Cui Xiaozhu came in with the cooked red bean soup, filled a bowl for Cui Gui, and urged him to go to sleep.

Cui Gui took a sip of the sweet soup and said that there was still something to do.

Not long after, someone knocked on the door from outside, and it was the housekeeper who came in with a letter.

Seeing that Cui Xiaozhu was also there, the housekeeper did not say anything, but only whispered: "News from outside."

Cui Gui stood up, took the letter from the housekeeper, and opened it anxiously.

What was written in the letter was Fei Shichun's life experience that he asked to check.

Fei Shichun came to Fei's family in his teens, even though Fei Jin made more arrangements, there were still some gaps, the old people in the house all guessed that it was not the wife's own child.In addition, Fei Jin also almost killed all his insiders when he was in his hometown.But just after the war, some people fled.At this time, when he asked Fei Jinyi by his old name, he found out that he had a wife and a child in the past. The name was Fei Jinyi, and it was Fei Shichun.

When he saw half of it, Cui Gui looked terrified, didn't stop for a while, took a step back, and managed to stabilize his footsteps by leaning on the back of the chair.

The housekeeper has followed Cui Gui for many years, and rarely saw him lose his composure: "Master, what's wrong?"

Cui Xiaozhu was also taken aback and wanted to step forward to help him.

Cui Gui waved his hand, meaning to keep Cui Xiaozhu away, carefully folded the letter paper in his hand, and put it in the envelope.

That's it, that's it.All previous doubts have been answered.

All of a sudden, Cui Gui's thoughts were chaotic, what happened in the court recently, Fei Jinyi's actions, all kinds of things were entangled together.

It is the safest way for a long princess to get married, give birth to an heir, and ascend the throne as emperor.

Fei Jinyi has done little to stop this, so the conflict now is who the princess will marry.

Although the aristocratic family wanted to marry the royal family, but if Fei Jinyi put all his eggs in one basket and chose Fei Shichun, even if they didn't know the truth, they wouldn't stop it, and instead wanted to win over the new consort.

Fei Jinyi has already made a plan that the long princess must never get married, otherwise she will fall into a trap.

The long princess is not married, how to save this situation?

Cui Gui already has the answer, and there is only one way to go.

Thinking of this, he had a plan in his mind, and said to the butler, "Master Chen, Master Zhou, some senior scholars..."

Everything he said was an important official of the court, Cui Xiaozhu could see that the letter just now had written a great event, which forced her father to be so anxious and wanted to arrange the future.

But Cui Gui didn't continue talking, he paused for a while, and said: "Forget it tomorrow, call Qi Zeqing first."

"Just look for Qi Zeqing."

After the fifteenth day, New Year's Eve is getting closer.

Because there were no other accidents, Rong Jian went to class diligently every day, taking care of the progress that had fallen before, except for no late self-study, as if he had re-entered high school.

transmigrated a book: I was an illiterate high school student in ancient times...?

Rong JIan is also very satisfied with such a peaceful life.

The shortcoming is that there is a lack of a good deskmate, but Mingye cannot be his deskmate, nor can a classmate.

Rong JIan sighed.

A few days before New Year's Eve, the twenty-ninth year, the study was finally closed for vacation.

Before the holiday, Rong Jian specially gave some new year gifts to his husband who had taught him for several months.

The etiquette of the ancients is like this, not to mention that he is also very grateful to these gentlemen for saving his illiterate self.

As for the one he was most grateful for, he was going to deliver it himself, but he didn't know if Akino would be free.

After class in the afternoon, Rong Jian packed up the papers and pens, picked up the book, pushed away the screen, got up and was about to leave, and found that Qi Zeqing was still arranging things on the stage.

He leaned over and greeted Qi Zeqing.

As soon as Qi Zeqing looked up, he saw Rong JIan smiling, looking very happy.

I also remembered that Shoufu talked to him a few days ago, and asked the long princess what books she has read now, how well she has learned, and what flaws in character she has.Qi Zeqing was a little puzzled, but he still answered them one by one.Cui Gui deserves to be the first assistant, the head of literati, he noticed something wrong when he heard it, and knew that Rong Jian's foundation was very poor. After thinking for a while, he picked up a few books again, and told him how to teach the long princess next year.

As for character flaws...

Hearing this, Qi Zeqing actually already knew what Cui Gui meant. For some reason, Shoufu changed his mind and took what he said before, the idea of promoting the long princess as the emperor, seriously.

Qi Zeqing hesitated for a while: "Your Highness seems to be a bit too kind. He doesn't know that people's hearts are sinister, so he always forgives others. Besides, His Highness doesn't seem to care much about power."

Since ancient times, those who can achieve success, no matter how they behave on the throne in the future, are always ruthless in the fight for the throne. No one is willing to hand over power to others.

After hearing this, Cui Gui said: "I met her once, in the humble garden. The long princess may be too kind, but she knows how to protect herself, and she knows how to measure herself. She is not indecisive, but acts decisively. On the contrary, she is different from ordinary people."place."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and continued: "As for power, the long princess has grown up so much, and she still doesn't know what power is. How can she demand that she care about it? She will grow up slowly in the future."

Cui Gui took a deep look at Qi Zeqing: "You have taught the long princess for several years, and you are her most trusted teacher. You must be able to guide her well so that you can live up to the world."

Speaking to this point, the profound meaning is self-evident.

Qi Zeqing was startled, he knew that Cui Gui had made up his mind that the long princess must ascend the throne.

Although there has been no action in the court, it will only be a matter of time before Cui Gui presides over it.

Rong Jian in front of him still seemed to be ignorant, happy that he was about to have a holiday.

At this time, there was no one around, it was empty, and it was a good time to tell him.

Qi Zeqing thought about it for a long time, lowered his voice, and said, "Your Highness, Cui..."

Rong JIan didn't understand, so: "Mr. Qi, what's wrong?"

Qi Zeqing was stunned.After coming to Yangfuzhai, he taught Rong Jian how to read, and regarded him as his student, and paid a lot of attention to him on weekdays.Many times, he felt that Rong Jian was really young, and his thinking was very different from ordinary people.

There is such a child in the palace.

Forget it, after all, it's such a big deal, talking about it now will only add more burden to Rong Jian, let's talk about it after the new year.

Qi Zeqing smiled and said, "It's nothing, I wish Your Highness a happy New Year."

Rong Jian really didn't know anything about it, he couldn't possibly have imagined that under such an undercurrent, the cheap father wanted to marry his blood cheap brother to mess with him.Make yourself emperor.

He was very busy, he had to prepare the New Year's ceremony for the emperor and the Empress Dowager, and he had to arrange all the affairs of the year-end, even Jin Yiwei had to take care of it, not only Zhang Sanchuan, but also Sun Dong.

There was no way, Mingye was working there.Although Ming Ye is very capable and capable, but his family background is mediocre, Rong Jian is always worried that he will be bullied.

He is the only one in the world who has such unnecessary worries, and it happens again and again, every time.

On New Year's Eve, it was the same family banquet as the day of the Lantern Festival, and the ministers were invited to the banquet on the first day of the new year.

It's annoying to see, but have to go.Fortunately nothing went wrong today, Rong Jian pretended to be deaf and dumb, retreated from the banquet and returned to Changle Hall.

There were two young eunuchs standing guard at the door, Rong JIan walked into the hall, and originally planned to go directly back to the bedroom to rest, but suddenly remembered that a book had been left in the flower hall, and went to get it by himself without calling anyone else.

As soon as they entered, the flower hall was extremely lively, and when they saw Rong JIan, there was no sound at all.

It turned out that after the busy afternoon, all the maids and eunuchs in the whole palace gathered in the flower hall to eat melon seeds and play cards.Aunt Zhou was not here, but she also acquiesced. Her heart was not that hard, so she just pretended not to know and let them mess around for a night today.

Rong saw that he was a little sorry for disturbing their interest, he didn't even take the books, and was about to leave after a few words of comfort, but Si Fu said: "Since Your Highness is here, why don't you play with the servants as well."

Rong Jian asked: "What's wrong?"

Si Fu rolled his eyes: "This is called collusion, so I'm not afraid that His Highness will settle accounts after autumn."

This was said in a funny way, and it also reassured those who were not close to Rong Jian in the flower hall.

Ling Song glared at Si Fu.

But it seems to be the same, Rong Jian thought so, and only planned to hit them a few times to make them feel at ease, which meant that they would not be punished after the first month, so he walked over and said casually: "I'm just going to be with you.back."

His eyes stayed on the table and asked, "What is this?"

It is a leaf brand.

It doesn't seem too difficult.

In the first few rounds, the players who played with him were still restrained, trying hard to let Rong Jian win.Originally, it was impossible to win by yourself when playing these things with your lord, and you would just give money away.But the maids and eunuchs in the Changle Palace are all young, they haven't mastered these skills, and they won by accident.

The little maid was trembling with fear, but seeing that the long princess had lost, she was not upset, instead she took out the gold and silver locket from the kit and gave it to herself, so she became bolder.

The teenage children didn't know how to measure, and at the end of the game, Rong Jian spread the leaf cards in his hand, took out his empty kit, and shook them in front of them: "I'm done losing, I'm gone, you all have nothing to lose."Let's play."

In fact, those gold and silver lockets were originally requested by Rong JIan from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they were intended to be given to the attendants in the palace tomorrow.

Before leaving, Rong Jian asked Ling Song to take some more for himself tomorrow, and to give to those who didn't gamble.

Ling Song agreed, and then said: "That is to say, His Highness is benevolent and has a good temper..."

Rong Jian said with a smile: "It's Chinese New Year, you should go and play too."

So he went back to the bedroom alone, and was opening the door when he saw someone standing in the room.

It's Akino.

Rong Jian was startled, and before he even had time to untie the cloak, he walked up to him and asked, "Have you been here for a long time?"

Ming Ye smiled: "I didn't wait long. I don't need to be on errand tonight, so I just want to see His Highness."

Rong Jian was wearing a bright red dress today, the skirt was embroidered with a phoenix with gold thread, shining brightly under the lights.

Rong Jian was a little annoyed: "I knew you were here..."

But Ming Ye didn't finish his sentence, and asked, "What's the matter if I'm here?"

Rong Jian said: "I won't play leaf cards with them for so long."

Originally, if you lose, you lose, and Rong Jian is willing to gamble and admit defeat, and the gold and silver coins will also be given to them, but when Ming Ye asked, Rong Jian felt a little bit suing: "I don't know how to fight, and I lost all the silver.I didn't even win."

Akeno let out a "hmm", and also condemned those people for going too far, his tone was very relaxed: "Call me together next time, and give cards to His Highness. His Highness won from the beginning to the end, and never lost."

He is also very confident, as if no matter what he is playing, with his help, Rong Jian can always win.

What is this... Rong Jian reacted a little too late, isn't it too much to feed cards like this.

Rong Jian didn't think about it too much, spending time with the maids and eunuchs was enjoyable, but when he thought that it was Ming Ye who was waiting in the dormitory, he still regretted not coming in earlier.

He looked up at Akino, his eyes were bright, and he thought casually: "If you pretend to meow, I'll know?"

Such a method can only be imagined by Rong Jian.

Ming Ye seemed to take it seriously, he said: "I don't know what kind of meowing can be regarded as a reminder, does Your Highness know?"

Rong Jian took off his cloak and put it aside, he was fooled around, thinking that this was indeed the case, he could take this opportunity to make a secret signal with Ming Ye, and then "meow".

Soft and sweet, it seems to be more coquettish than the most squeamish kitten.

Akeno looked serious, and he made a very objective evaluation: "It's too light, I couldn't hear it clearly."

Rong Jian has no doubts: "Meow."

"Is it too short, what should I do if I can't hear it?"

"Meow meow meow."

"Well, I forgot again."

"Meow meow?"

...

"I was distracted just now, Your Highness meow and listen again."

With a fierce voice: "Meow!"

It's fine once or twice, but six or seven times, Rong JIan is a bit of a lie, and he's not really a fool.

Ming Ye said: "After all, I'm not smart, unlike His Highness..."

Halfway through the conversation, I sat on the floppy and laughed for a long time, this time speaking the truth: "Your Highness is cuter than cats."

Rong JIan: "..."

Forget it, seeing him so happy, forgive this person.

The earth dragon in the house was burning too vigorously, Rong JIan still felt hot, so he pushed open the window sash, and outside was the evergreen osmanthus tree.

The branches and leaves of the osmanthus trees are luxuriant, with unmelted snow on them, and occasionally revealing some deep greenness.

For some reason, there is only this one osmanthus tree in the garden. It has not been planted much, and it will not become a forest. It stands alone in front of Rong JIan's window, like an eternal guardian.

"Your Highness."

Rong Jian heard someone calling himself, and turned his head.

Ming Ye sat beside him, and at some point, they got so close, his tone was a little loose: "Some time ago, when I was out of the palace on business, I saw a shop selling lipstick that would not fade easily, I bought itSome, do you want to try, Your Highness?"

Rong Jian was stunned for a while, Ming Ye's words reminded him of the embarrassment when he first came here, half of his mouth fat had fallen off, and he barely managed to get over it by covering the lower half of his face with a fan made by Ming Ye.

He's paying attention now, but he still eats his lip balm once in a while.

Rong JIan said "Oh", he said "thank you" first, and wanted to take the small round box from Ming Ye.

Ming Ye casually withdrew his hand, leaving Rong Jian in vain.

He rarely does this, Rong Jian was a little puzzled, tilted his head, and looked at Ming Ye.

Akeno unscrewed the lid of the box, and asked half seriously: "I want to paint for His Highness, is that okay?"

Without waiting for Rong JIan's answer, he continued: "Your Highness thinks that I can't paint it well? Your Highness seems to like the eyebrows painted last time."

His careless and transgressive gesture made Rong Jian unable to answer, his face was very hot: "It's not like that."

...It's too intimate, and it has a different meaning from shaking hands and hugging. Even a dull person like Rong JIan can immediately notice the difference.

Mingye's methods and speaking skills are far superior in comparison, and he is very good at taking meaning out of context: "That's okay."

Rong Jian couldn't refuse Ming Ye, just like every time in the past.

Ming Ye backlighted standing in front of Rong Jian.

The dim light blurred everything, and cast a layer of ambiguity on everything.

Before this, Rong Jian's nerves were rough, he had never felt such a feeling, but now he suddenly realized something.

Mingye's fingers were stained with some lip balm, and they looked at each other.

Akeno has a pair of very cold eyes, he doesn't have much emotion in seeing anything, his dark eyes are bottomless, like a lake that engulfs everything and cannot be illuminated by light.

However, such a pair of eyes are always very gentle when they look at each other, and when they fall on Rong Jian, it seems that there is nothing else.

Let Rong Jian feel that he is so special.

Unable to bear it, he moved his eyes away and looked out the window.

The fog at night submerges everything. The lanterns under the eaves, the hanging sky, the disappearing moon and stars, everything is far away, and nothing can be approached. Rong JIan can have a clear perception. All people and things are all related to each other.Akino related.

Rong Jian felt that the original lip fat on the lips was wiped off, and the movement was very gentle.

Akeno's fingers are very rough, probably because he has practiced knives since he was a child.Some time ago, when drew the bow and shot Damnya to death, didn't wear a finger trigger. The middle finger and index finger left deep nicks, which disappeared completely recently.There is a two-centimeter scar on the lower part of his left ring finger. When touching Rong JIan's skin, he will feel a slight tingling sensation.Rong JIan will pay attention to every tiny scar exposed on Mingye's body. In fact, he didn't deliberately think about it, but he will never forget it.

Rong Jian wanted to ask the origin of each scar, but was also worried about offending Ming Ye, he hesitated like this, he was an indecisive person.

The relationship between them, the relationship between Rong Jian and Ming Ye has already surpassed the standard of ordinary friends, they are too close.

Rong Jian raised his head again, looking intently at Ming Ye standing in front of him, those chaotic thoughts and unprecedented emotions were like a thick fog outside, and they would drown Rong Jian, he couldn't figure out the direction,Can't find the exit, can only rely on the people in front of me.

How slowly his eyes blinked was how hard his heart was beating.

The brain can lie to others and oneself, but the heart is too honest to rely on instinct instead of lying.

Along with the vibration of the chest cavity, there was a jumping heart that liked Akeno.

Ming Ye withdrew his hand, without any unnecessary movements, but it made Rong Jian dizzy and at a loss.

He said softly: "It's finished. Your Highness is very beautiful."

Rong Jian's lips were glowing with a beautiful color, making his face beautiful and intense. He thought about it for a while, and asked slowly: "Why do you..."

Rong Jian couldn't understand why she was so nice to him, why she acted as if she liked him.

And because realized that like it, will be timid and shy, but it will be more difficult to face and unable to speak.

Rong Jian's heart trembled, he fell in love with the first person for the first time, but he didn't know what to do.

The author has something to say:

My heart: See you tomorrow and immediately doi

My Outline: No Going Mad

"The brain can lie to others and oneself, but the heart is too honest. It can only rely on instinct, but will not lie." This sentence is a quote from the original sentence of "White-moonlight/muse in the Golden House", because I think it is very suitable (.
