In Prince Jin's Mansion, the Third Prince and several think tanks are discussing matters in the study outside.

One of them stroked his goatee and said, "Qu Xiang's illness, I am afraid that Gansu affairs will not be concealed. Daqing will be in chaos. At this time, the person the emperor can trust is you, the prince. You should be ready to re-enter the court." preparation."

"Yes, I have been dormant for three years, and I just took this opportunity to reach the sky in one step. It's just that the impersonation of relief involves a lot of things, and the case is serious. Your lord, you need to be careful, and don't get involved and become the target of everyone's criticism." Another person echoed in a low voice. .

"My lord will be careful." The third prince smiled and waved his hands. Hearing the sound of teacups clashing from the inner study, he stood up to see off the guests. "My lord still has something to do. We'll talk about it another day. Gentlemen, go slowly."

Several people hurriedly left, and the youngest and most energetic walked to the door as if thinking of something, turned around and warned solemnly, "My lord, although Jia Huan is indeed talented and learned, he has learned about Yuan and Huiyuan one after another, maybe the palace examination in April will not be enough. The number one scholar in the meeting, but he hangs out with the fifth prince all day long, so you need to be careful."

Hearing this, the oldest counselor rushed forward to plead guilty, and pulled him out before the lord changed his face. After walking far away, Fang sighed, "In the future, don't talk nonsense about Jia Huan. Long Youni Lin, you will be angry if you touch it. This Jia Huan is the prince's Ni Lin, and I don't want others to say that he is wrong. Remember it!"

The young counselor wanted to ask more questions, but the man shook his head repeatedly and refused to say more.

The Third Prince stared at the crowd as they walked away with a cold expression, the power radiating from the inside out almost broke Cao Yongli's spine, and on a February day, he was sweating profusely all over his face.

"Everyone is gone, why are you dawdling? Hurry up and help me grade the papers, I'm hungry!" A clear and clear voice came from the inner study, instantly dispelling the coldness in the man's eyes.

"Come here." The third prince smiled, looked at the direction where the counselors left, shook his head and said, "You are too young, and you have to practice for a few years before you can use them again."

Cao Yongli wiped his sweat with his head down.

"Qu Xiang suffered a stroke, the prince is going to be unlucky?" Seeing the man stepping gracefully into the room, Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Well, Prime Minister Qu covers the sky with one hand and has power in the government. I don't know how many people he has offended over the years, not to mention the crown prince's domineering and extravagant debauchery, which made Daqing a mess. If it weren't for their too many party members, the foundation of Daqing might be shaken after they are cut off. , Father must have already started. The wall fell down and everyone pushed him. His paralysis brought the end of the Qu family, which has been rampant for more than 50 years, not to mention the prince who was supported by the Qu family. If not, it is the death knell for the Qu family." The third prince sat down and took a sip of hot tea, and picked up the policy theory that the boy had just completed to read.

Jia Huan felt that his brain cells were dying very quickly when he heard about these intrigues and power struggles, so he nodded and stopped asking. Taking advantage of the moment of his review, he picked up a wolf hair, spread out a large sheet of rice paper, practiced wild grass, and sighed, "Three years of writing the thin gold body, I almost vomited. The strokes are as thin as a reed stick, and the folds can be used as firewood! It seems that Zhangcao is the most wild and domineering, It also suits my style best.”

The third prince laughed secretly when he heard it, and he endured it so he didn't reward him with a chestnut. After reading the policy theory, he looked like he hadn't finished writing, but he really wrote vigorously. I didn't have the heart to disturb him, and admired his serious side face with one hand on my chin. Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the banner of 'Inscription on the Gold List' hanging on the right wall, and finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

This straightforward banner was made by a young man. When he put it up, he was scared for several days. No matter how tacky it looked, now that he got used to it, he found it quite interesting, and he was reluctant to take it down.

After writing a piece of wild cursive, Jia Huan only felt that his heart was full of joy, so he threw the wolf hair out of the window and picked up the rice paper to admire.

"Don't throw it away..." The third prince was about to stop him, but it was too late, he held his forehead and said, "This wolf penis is made of high-quality materials, and the cost is extremely expensive. It would be a pity to throw it away after only one use. How many people who are homeless in the ice and snow can be rescued by distributing the silver taels..."

Jia Huan had a headache, and quickly interrupted his eloquence, "It's okay, I'll pick it up for you! Please don't read it!" After speaking, he turned out of the window sill and groped among several evergreen trees.

"Here, take it and wash it." He picked up a mud-stained brush and handed it over.

"This is not the previous one." The third prince took it with a box, smiled and shook his head.

Jia Huan couldn't do it, so he had to continue to touch, and took out eight or nine sticks in a row. Under the mocking eyes of the third prince, he became a little annoyed and asked, "Are you trying to punish me? I don't usually see you like this!"

"I just want you to get rid of this bad habit of throwing brushes. You see, you only use it once, and you can add up to a few thousand taels of silver. As the saying goes, 'Prospering a family is like picking soil with a needle, and prospering a family is like waves washing sand. ', in your eyes, it’s nothing more than a writing brush, but it’s a considerable sum when accumulated.” After speaking, thinking of the treasury money squandered by the aristocratic family and the precarious Daqing finances, the third prince’s expression was cold .

Over the years, the man has grown from a breezy and moon-like fairy to this unfathomable appearance. One moment he is chatting and laughing, but the next moment he can kill people invisible, making it even more unpredictable.Even Xiao Ze was afraid of him, and he no longer dared to make jokes and jokes like before.

Jia Huan was not afraid, threw the dirty brush into the box, pinched his cheek and said, "I know I'm wrong, why don't you be so sullen. Come on, give me a smile."

The third prince smiled, and caught sight of his muddy fingertips out of the corner of his eye, he quickly grabbed his wrist and laughed and cursed, "You little bastard, you're making fun of me again! No wonder you admit your mistake so easily!" After saying that, he threw away the box, Go tickle him.

Jia Huan collapsed on the window sill with a smile, begging for mercy out of breath, "It's cold outside, let me go in and make trouble again. I'll compensate you, and I'll pay you everything. What kind of wolf hair, purple hair, sheep hair, and jelly hair... take your pick. , as much money as you want! Let go of me first, let's sit down and talk slowly!"

"Don't let it go." The third prince laughed loudly, picked up the young man and placed him on the window sill to sit down, wrapping his arms around his waist tightly, with the tip of his nose against the tip of his nose, sniffing the secret and unique fragrance of medicine, and whispered, "Help!" I’m going to wipe it clean before I’m allowed into the house.”

Jia Huan's heartbeat was a little disturbed, and he calmed down before wiping off the dirt on his face with his sleeve, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is it all right? Do you want to take a look in the bronze mirror?"

The Third Prince ruffled his forehead hair, still tightening his grip on his waist, unwilling to let go.As long as this person is in his arms, he can forget all his tiredness and troubles, and that feeling makes him more and more addicted every day.

Not far from the gate of the courtyard stood a beautiful woman in fox fur, staring at the two people who were hugging each other with wide eyes, and the food box in her hand fell to the ground.

Xiao Ze, who was in charge of guarding the courtyard gate, said, "My concubine, the lord is very busy, so I can't disturb you, you should go back."

"Okay, he is really busy!" Concubine Xi nodded with a smirk, gritted her teeth and glared at Xiao Ze before leaving angrily.

Xiao Ze felt that her eyes were wrong, and when he looked back, he couldn't help but patted his forehead and sighed, "My lord, if you are willing to divide your thoughts on Third Master Huan in half, no, divide it into ten or two, your backyard will be full of happiness." It stopped."

While speaking, heavy snow fell from the gray sky, which quickly turned into water droplets when it stuck to the hair and eyelashes of the person.Jia Huan took one piece in his palm, watched it gradually melt before opening his mouth quietly, "It's snowing heavily! It's a pity that I have to prepare for the palace examination in April, but I can't go hunting in the mountains."

The third prince hurriedly carried him into the house, and ordered Cao Yongli to quickly add charcoal to the brazier, wipe his hands carefully with a wet handkerchief, and when they were warm again, he said with a smile, "We can't hunt, but we can enjoy plum blossoms in the snow. Accompanied by incense burners, piano sounds, red plums, and white snow, it is also a great joy in life."

"Well, while drinking the northwest wind, the cold snot comes out at the same time. It is indeed a great pleasure." Jia Huan echoed Zhenger.

The third prince was angry and funny, he pinched the tip of his nose and said, "With a table of good food, a pot of hot soup, a few pots of fire, and a few pots of good wine, is it a pleasure?"

"Finally it's a bit of a spectrum." Jia Huan nodded reservedly, which made the third prince laugh out loud.

The two walked on the snow and set up a round table and two low stools in the gazebo in the backyard, sitting next to each other.There were five or six braziers around them, all of which were burning vigorously, and the sudden increase in temperature caused the heavy snowflakes in mid-air to turn into water droplets.There was another handsome actor, after bathing and fasting, he played the piano in the smoke from the incense burner, and the distant and quiet sound of the piano lingered in the blossoming red plums and white snow.

However, this ultimate elegance is also mixed with the sound of boiling soup, the hiss of inhalation after drinking, and the rich aroma of food that almost washes away the fresh and elegant Su Hexiang, which made the actor who played the piano lose his mind several times. Almost got it wrong.

"Good wine, good food! It would be even better with a few plates of venison. This venison is marinated very authentically. It can be eaten with hot soup for a while, and it melts in the mouth, and the cheeks and teeth are fragrant. It is very delicious " Jia Huan raised his head and drank the strong wine in his glass, sighing.

"Go, serve some more dishes of venison. Who is the cook who cooks the venison? Give me a reward." The third prince waved his hand at Cao Yongli, and finally picked up the venison in his bowl and brought it to the young man's lips, waiting for the young man to suck it , and picked up the handkerchief to wipe the sauce from the corner of his mouth.

Jia Huan felt slightly full after serving five or six plates of venison one after another, accompanied by four bowls of rice.The third prince ate a bowl and couldn't eat any more. While listening to the piano, he smiled and admired the young man's eating.

After a long belch that smelled of alcohol, Jia Huan patted his bulging belly and said softly, "I'm full, and you've had enough too, right? Go, go back to sleep!"

"I only care about admiring you, how can I have time to admire the plum blossoms? Come here, stay with me for a while, and sleep in my arms." The man said as he untied his cloak, and embraced the boy.

Unable to refuse any request from him, Jia Huan lay down in his arms, squinting at the falling snowflakes outside the pavilion.

The third prince carefully folded the cloak, put his hands around the young man's waist, and held his hands, leaned back on the back of the chair, and lowered his head to look at his curly and thick eyelashes, porcelain white skin, and straight body. The bridge of the nose, the bright red lips... Unknowingly, I was fascinated by it.Outside, the red plums that are in full bloom and proud of the snow are not as good as one ten-thousandth of the person in her arms!

The man's steady and strong heartbeat echoed in his ears, and his unique ambergris fragrance and faint body temperature lingered all over his body. Jia Huan felt extremely comfortable and fell asleep unconsciously.

"Obviously I drank so much spirits, but I didn't blush, only the corners of my eyes and lips were red," the third prince murmured to himself, caressing the young man's peach-pink eyes and plump lips, and sighed, "You're so beautiful. The longer you grow, the more beautiful you become. After the palace test, I won't be able to hide you..."

The mood that was relaxed and cheerful one moment turned into inexplicable depression the next moment. The third prince took a glass of strong wine, drank it down, and threw the glass into the thick snow.

Sensing the gloomy aura emanating from his master, Cao Yongli buried his head low, trying to minimize his sense of existence.

Looking sideways at the peaceful and beautiful sleeping face of the young man, he carefully described his handsome and evil facial features with his eyes. After a stick of incense, the third prince said softly, "Go, pick up the wine glass. I just taught Huan'er to be diligent and thrifty." , I still need to set an example. Take another thick blanket, and I will sleep here."

Cao Yongli hurriedly picked up the cup and came back, carefully persuaded, "My lord, it's better to go back to the room and sleep again, be careful of freezing."

"Huan'er is a light sleeper, he has to wake up when he moves a little, so let him sleep well. Add a few more charcoal basins and blankets, and then surround it with bamboo curtains. It shouldn't be cold." The third prince waved his hand.

Cao Yongli had no choice but to go down and make arrangements.

The third prince sighed inaudibly, and put his chin on the young man's shoulder, his cold lips pressed against the young man's warm cheek, and did not move for a long time.

In the Linshui Pavilion opposite the gazebo, Concubine Xi pointed to the two people lying on their necks, and said with a sneer, "Concubine Jia, have you seen it? Your good brother is not only the savior of the prince, but also the bed warmer of the prince. What! How long has it been since the prince visited your place, do you still remember? How many days have you spent in three years?"

Jia Yuanchun stared at the two people who were embracing and almost fused together, his face was pale.How many days are there in three years?Not even a day!I thought the prince had rejected me because of Baoyu, but I didn't expect the root cause to be here.Jia Huan is really capable!

Jealousy and hatred were mad in his heart, but Jia Yuanchun refused to admit defeat, and said ironically, "Fifty steps and a hundred steps. You asked the prince how many days I was lucky, and I would also like to ask you, how long has the prince not seen you? Oh, Let me count," she twitched her fingertips and pretended to be counting, she laughed sharply, "It's been more than half a year, right? Is your body empty and you can't stand it anymore?"

"No matter how empty I am, I can't compare to you. Look at you, you are only three years old, and the corners of your eyes are wrinkled. Don't you feel sad when you look in the mirror every day? Oh, you don't even dare to look in the mirror. Did you take a photo?" Xi Concubine moved closer and asked word by word.

Jia Yuanchun was trembling with anger, and was about to open his mouth to fight back. Concubine Xi raised her hands in a gesture of compromise, and said in a low voice, "The prince loves Jia Huan more and more, and his shadow is everywhere in the house. He is going to take part in the scientific examination, the prince So he resigned his official position and taught him carefully at home; he liked to dance knives and guns, so the prince filled the lotus pond to build a martial arts field; he liked to eat, so the prince spent a lot of money to find a skilled chef; Xue didn't come home for several months... If this continues, the prince's heart is full of him, how can he tolerate others? We have no children, and we have lost favor, how will we live in the future? So stop fighting, How about unanimously for the time being?"

Jia Yuanchun thought for a long time, nodded slightly, and then nodded again.Why didn't she think of getting rid of Jia Huan sooner?As long as the scourge dies, everything will return to normal!
