Prostitution

The winter wind is like a blade, everything is dormant, and the earth is covered with frost and snow.

Prince Huaijing's mansion was peaceful.

In the study room of Xiangge, the warm smoke is dense, but there is no one, and there are no guards guarding the door or the courtyard.

It has been more than a month since Prince Wen moved to the West Chamber because of Mr. Wen's unwell health.

Don't believe that unsatisfactory things in the world will happen to you one after another, and you should also believe that people will not always have bad luck.

Wen Gongzi is a good example.

Give a slap and a candy. The relationship between the prince and Mr. Wen seems to be such a willing relationship, which makes it difficult for outsiders to understand.

The strange thing is that the newly promoted male favorite Mr. Mingxiu also moved to the West Wing regardless of previous suspicions.

The three of us are in harmony.

The furnaces that can be seen everywhere in the west chamber bake the whole yard as warm as spring.

Therefore, Mr. Wen's body recovered very smoothly.

In less than half a month, he was able to get out of bed and walk.

'Rivals in love' get along day and night, I don't know who will see who responds, anyway, Wen Wuyu does not respond, above all etiquette, neither humble nor overbearing.

Xu was because of the prince's presence, except for receiving a few unkind looks from time to time, he did not act out of the ordinary.When the prince is away, everyone's well water is well water and river water is river water, and they will not offend each other.

Wen Wuyu felt strange that this Mr. Mingxiu, who once drew his sword to warn him and blurted out his anger in his heart, could be said to be a man of admiration for three days, but could tolerate the prince's intimacy with him, although They shared the same bed and slept together intimately, but the prince treated him the same as before, with careful arrangements for everything, and did not shy away from this person at all.

It can be seen that those who can change their minds like this are absolutely extraordinary.

"You lost again." Yuan Cheng dropped the white piece in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and joked.

Wen Wuyu shook his head and sighed, and threw the black stones on the chessboard, "I'm not the prince's opponent, and I haven't won a game in the past few days, it's really shameful, I won't play anymore."

"It's true that chess skills need to be improved, but I can't see that you are really ignorant. You can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Yuan Cheng laughed frankly.

When Wen Wuyu heard this, he sighed even more fiercely, and moved his body to stay on the bed, "What the lord concluded is. It's better to change to Mr. Mingxiu to play chess with the lord, so that I can watch and improve my chess skills."

Yuan Cheng looked aside and asked, "Is Mingxiu coming?"

Qi Mingxiu nodded and stood up from the chair.

Yuan Cheng walked up to Wen Wuyu, who was on the ground with his feet on the ground, bent down, picked him up, changed the direction, and put him back on the couch, "Don't get off the ground if the injury is not healed."

Qi Mingxiu glanced at him secretly, and sat cross-legged by the chessboard.

Wen Wuyu held up a pair of hands wrapped in gauze, allowing the prince to cover his legs tightly with the quilt.The carefulness is enough to envy others, and there is no need to distinguish who is coming from that gaze.

The chess piece retracts the chess piece, black and white are clearly distinguished.

There was no sound in the room, and the chess pieces fell to the plate, as if the two armies were confronting each other, swords drawn.

As a qualified bystander, Wen Wuyu kept silent, frowned and thought deeply from time to time, and leaned forward and backward slightly, looking very attentive.

Unknowingly, he was leaning back too much, and he was startled suddenly, only then did he realize that one of the prince's legs was bending his knee to protect his back.

He glanced at the two people who were concentrating on the game, they were equally calm and relaxed, or it could be said that they were happy to meet their opponents.

Suddenly someone came to report that Mr. Xu, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, asked to see him.

Yuan Cheng then accepted his son, "It's not yet decided whether to win or lose, Wuyu will continue."

Wen Wuyu changed positions.The opponent's dismissive eyes were already thinking about how to play tricks on him.No way, just bite the bullet.

Xu Jingyun, who came here in the wind and snow, waited for a stick of incense in the study for a while and didn't see the prince. Fang then thought that the prince might be at Wen Wuyu's place, and felt a little uncomfortable.After silently sighing, he approached the stove to warm up.

Unexpectedly, the prince arrived in the study in a short while.

Xu Jingyun hurriedly knelt down to salute, even more embarrassed.

Yuan Cheng never likes to embarrass people who have no grievances or enmities, not to mention that Xu Jingyun has really worked hard during this time, and all the relevant suspects are interrogated by him alone.

Yuan Cheng raised his hand to avoid the ceremony, walked to the side of the stove, motioned Xu Jingyun to come forward and answer.

"My lord, the prisoner confessed."

"How to say?"

"They and their employers were never masked, and they only used a messenger bird called a bamboo sparrow to deliver messages."

Yuan Cheng was surprised, "What kind of bird is the bamboo sparrow? Are you sure they don't know the employer?"

"It should be. To prevent the identity of the murderer from being exposed, the metropolis will keep a hand. The desperadoes are like confidantes. If you can meet them, you will disappear. Bamboo sparrows are similar to ordinary forest birds, so it is difficult to distinguish them. But it needs training. A letter bird must be kept for more than two years. The subordinates found one in the prisoner's hiding place, but unfortunately...it was already dead."

The accompanying attendant at the door presented a simple bamboo birdcage.

"That's it." Xu Jingyun raised the birdcage.

Yuan Cheng took a closer look, frowning, his eyes gradually became sharper.

"My lord has seen it?" Xu Jingyun questioned.

A deep smile curled up on the corner of Yuan Cheng's mouth, "No."

The one who has never seen it is probably Xu Jingyun, otherwise he probably would not have sent the bamboo sparrow here, and he might throw it in a dark corner of the gutter to destroy the corpse.

Isn't this the treasure that Wen Wuyu kept in a golden cage!

The situation on the chessboard is one-sided, and the white side is just fighting with trapped animals.

Qi Mingxiu looked at Wen Wuyu jokingly as he pinched a chess piece but couldn't make a move.

But there was no distress in the expression.

The cat is very happy playing with the mouse, but the mouse has already put life and death aside, living every moment is a moment.

"A good hand of chess, but you play it poorly, it's really good!"

The prince sneered from behind, and in a blink of an eye, the white piece in Wen Wuyu's hand was picked up, and it fell on the chessboard. It was a bad move that cut off the back path, and the outcome was completely determined.

"I'm ashamed of myself, and I won't dare to see it again in the future." Wen Wuyu replied sarcastically.

Yuan Cheng sat sideways on the couch, slowly packing up the chess pieces, "It's a terrible thing if a person's mind is only focused on one place. Your mind must never be on such mundane things as poetry, rites, music, piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Wen Wuyu stared at the chessboard, with a look of shame on his face, "I'm used to being loose, and I don't have much pursuit in this life."

Yuan Cheng glanced at him.

Listening to Wen Wuyu, he said again, "Besides, even if you are full of poems and books, riches and honors are endless, in the end it is not a matter of fire. The mountains are high and the sea is wide, and the world is peaceful. If you don't enjoy the present moment, what are you going to waste your energy on?"

Yuan Cheng smiled without saying a word.

Qi Mingxiu looked at him coldly, "If you say that, I don't think it's interesting for a person like you to live. You plan to eat and drink in the palace and wait to die."

Wen Yan Yuancheng raised his eyebrows, but remained silent.

Wen Wuyu replied, "Everything in the world goes its own way, and death is inevitable. In the final analysis, they are all waiting for death."

"But your life is meaningless." Qi Mingxiu choked.

"Uh..." Wen Wuyu thought for a while, and said, "People in the world want to live a meaningful life, but they just worry about whether their own death is more important than Mount Tai or lighter than a feather. I only want to be the latter, come and die alone , without leaving a speck of dust in the world.”

Qi Mingxiu said contemptuously, "You are so great!"

Yuan Cheng smiled silently, and took away the last piece on the chessboard, "Next month is the Lantern Festival, and the Emperor's birthday is approaching. I reckon the celebration will be brought forward, and it will be extremely lively until after the Lantern Festival. Touring the city or rafting, whichever you choose .”

"Can I choose both?" The two unexpectedly thought of going together.

Yuan Cheng glanced left and right, "Then visit the city first, and then go boating."
