The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

In Chongxian Lane, a dilapidated house, Zhou Rong looked up at the sky, depressed and incomprehensible.

Like all the others, he packed his bags, left home thousands of miles away, and came to the capital with great ambitions.I don't know that the ambition has not yet begun to be realized, and I am stumbled by life first.

I thought that I would gain a reputation at the Mid-Autumn Festival, and be able to move the capital like those legendary literati, but I didn't know that I hadn't succeeded, and I almost ruined my hard work.

Zhou Rong did not accept Mo Yuxuan's ten taels of silver, but brought back his own work.

At first, when Mo Yuxuan asked him to copy the "Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra" after the famous masters of the previous dynasty, Zhou Rong felt a little depressed.He is famous for his calligraphy, since Mo Yuxuan is interested in his talent, why does he let him imitate others?

Every time he encounters these problems, Pan Jun always looks away and talks about it with a "rule".Zhou Rong thought, instead of being slaughtered in Mo Yuxuan, he might as well not sell it!
But he is about to pay the rental fee of the house, and the owner of the house has repeatedly extended the time limit for him. If he can't pay it this month, he will have to sleep on the street.

Zhou Rong also tried to set up a stall at the intersection of the street. However, it has been rainy and rainy for the past few days, and there are few pedestrians on the road. After a whole day, he can't earn a few copper coins.

Is he going to go back to Mo Yuxuan's shopkeeper and beg him to accept this copybook?

Or, write a letter to A Yuan and ask her to borrow some money?
Zhou Rong thought, he can't do it.

He can't even pay the rent, so what face does he have to contact A Yuan?
"Knocking".

The wooden door was tapped twice, Zhou Rong withdrew his thoughts.It's strange, he lives in a remote place, and he doesn't have many friends in the capital, so who is looking for him at this late hour?

With a "squeak", Zhou Rong opened the door, and a tall and slender shadow fell in front of him.The young man took off his black hood and smiled at him: "Your Excellency is Zhou Rong, Zhou Langjun?"

Isn't this the guard next to the Princess Huaxi during the day?
"It's me," Zhou Rong was a little surprised, "I remember my lord. I also want to thank the princess and my lord for helping me to get justice. I just don't know why my lord is here..."

"Take a step to talk," Li Mingji smiled softly, "I do have something I want to talk to Mr. Zhou."

……

Tenth day of October, Tianming Festival.

The birthdays of the former emperors were all designated as festivals, and Dayong also followed this tradition, calling the birthday of Emperor Yong the Tianming Festival.

On this day, Chengqian Hall was decorated up and down.The Secretary of Jiaofang prepared early, put on musical instruments such as konghou, pipa, shengxiao, etc., beat drums and played music, and danced with the songs.

Emperor Yongdi was diligent and frugal, so the birthday banquet was not grand. Except for the royal family, only some important officials of the court entered the palace to celebrate the birthday, and the birthday celebration ceremony was kept as simple as possible.

Emperor Yong put on his mianfu, and stepped out with Empress Dou, who was also dressed in court attire, "Excuse me, gentlemen."

The position of the seat can best reflect the rise and fall of favor.The old general Xie Hong, who led a hundred officials every year, said that he was not sick, and his grandson Xie Yanzhou never participated in the Tianming Festival birthday ceremony.And now the two most powerful families, apart from the Marquis of Qinyang, are the Zheng family, the mother clan of the Crown Princess Zheng Yueyao.

Zheng Lian, the patriarch of the Zheng family and Zheng Yueyao's grandfather, served as a colleague of Zhongshu, that is, the prime minister. After taking his seat, he got up first to congratulate Emperor Yong on his birthday on behalf of all civil and military officials.

At this birthday banquet, apart from the second prince who was far away from the frontier, Emperor Yong's three children were all present, the prince sat alone, and Shu Yao sat with the two princesses.

Emperor Yong's four children all came from different concubines, so compared to her half-brothers and sisters, Princess Jiayi is closer to Shu Yao who grew up with her.

"I heard you got a new baby recently? Why don't you show me!"

Although they all lived in the palace, Shu Yao didn't know what she was busy with recently, and she stayed behind closed doors all day long. Princess Jiayi hadn't seen Shu Yao for almost a month.

One day she had nothing to do, so she ran to Huaxi Palace to find Shu Yao, and wanted to take her to the market together, but Shu Yao refused her sternly on the grounds that she had something to do. Princess Yi saw a fluffy white shadow walking by.

Princess Jiayi immediately understood, what's the matter, Shu Yao obviously got a new baby and didn't tell her, she was playing secretly in the palace by herself!

Princess Jiayi was already depressed because Zhou Rong was busy reading recently and didn't reply to her letters, and because Shu Yao didn't play with her, she felt even more resentful, so she naturally wanted to ask what happened.

Shu Yao was busy drawing congratulatory gifts to Emperor Yong, stayed up for a few nights, and yawned lazily when she heard the words, "Is there any treasure in this princess..."

She suddenly remembered that there really was such a thing. Last month, she brought back a Persian cat from Huayue Tower in Chunjiang, and she named it Xuetuan.It's just that she's too busy these days to play with Xuetuan, and Songzhen and Chunrui are taking care of it.

"You said that Persian cat was sent by Chunjiang Huayuelou," Shu Yao said in a lazy voice, "Now that the Princess is busy, if you want to see it, just let me know in advance."

"Who cares about that cat of yours?" Princess Jiayi snorted coldly, "I see you haggard like this, so I told you not to worry about it every day, and watch out for wrinkles."

"I don't have wrinkles!"

Little ladies love beauty, and what Shu Yao cares most about is her appearance.Every time she paints until midnight, she will apply a lot of beauty cream to her face the next day.Before attending the birthday banquet today, I also looked in the mirror for a long time, and asked Pine Needle to apply a lot of powder on her to cover the dark spots under her eyes, and used a new lip balm. Li Mingji praised her lip balm for its good color when she saw it Woolen cloth.

Forget it, not everyone can talk like Li Mingji, so Shu Yao doesn't care about the superficial Princess Jiayi.

Li Mingji put on the uniform black armor of the front office, and stood in the line of the front office, guarding both sides of the Chengqian Hall.The prince passed by Li Mingji, glanced at him indistinctly, and suddenly said: "I remember, you are the bodyguard of Cousin Yaoyao, right?"

Li Mingji said gently: "The humble Li Mingji has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The prince's eyes were indifferent.

He once left a palace official in Huaxi Palace, who would regularly report Shu Yao's recent situation to him.It's just that not long ago, the palace man stumbled while walking at night and broke his leg. He had no choice but to leave the palace, and the prince lost his eyeliner.

Today Shu Yao put on powder and lip balm. She is naturally beautiful, so she doesn't like to use these at all. Is it to cover up her haggard look?What is she up to lately?
The feeling that he didn't know anything about Shu Yao's recent situation made the prince feel a little impatient.

Especially this bodyguard...

Some time ago, the prince deliberately took a detour when he returned to the palace after finishing his political affairs. He passed Huaxi Palace, but saw an astonishing scene.The sleeping princess hugged the young man's waist and was carried out of the carriage by him.The surrounding palace people not only didn't stop, but showed expressions of surprise.
