Autumn is getting deeper and the weather is getting colder day by day, but the Cang Ning Palace is as cold and silent as winter.

Emperor Chengde's legs were covered with a thin blanket, and the hot tea in his hand was already cold, as if he didn't know it, he just quietly looked at Yan Huaiyin who was opposite him.

This was the tea that Chang Ning brought to moisten his throat before he went out. Three hours later, the tea was completely cold, and he didn't take a sip.

Even though he had said too much just now, his throat was extremely dry.

During the silence, Emperor Chengde seemed to have just realized that the tea was cold. He felt a little irritated, so he put the tea aside.

When the gold-painted teacup touched the jade case, there was a slight crisp sound, which became the only sound in the quiet palace.

The sound made Emperor Chengde frowned.But Yan Huaiyin who was standing opposite him didn't even blink.

He lowered his eyes slightly, and stood there motionless as if in a state of concentration.

It's been like this for over an hour.

He is waiting for Emperor Chengde's choice, or betting on Emperor Chengde's choice.

After an unknown amount of time, Emperor Chengde coughed lightly: "I figured it out."

Yan Huaiyin's drooping eyelashes moved, and there was a smile in his voice: "Your Majesty is wise, so you can act decisively."

His compliments made the corner of the emperor's mouth twitch twice.

Emperor Chengde cut Yan Huaiyin to pieces hundreds of times in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, Aiqing will serve my pen and ink."

-

The land in the west of the city is cheap, and there are many residences of officials below the seventh rank of Chaohua City.

Liu Shangqing's mansion is at the end of Chunlai Street in the west of the city, opposite to Qi Yu's Princess Mansion.

Ever since he and Qi Yu tore up the imperial decree of granting marriage, the door of his mansion has never been opened again.

In the small study room in the mansion, the entire desk was covered with rice paper, and some even fell on the ground.

The little boy serving Liu Shangqing was standing next to the desk, holding a thin stack of rice paper in his arms—these are the most useful parts of all the rice paper.

Next to him, Liu Shangqing lowered his head, the rice paper under his hand was about to be filled again.

He stopped writing, handed it to the boy, and said softly, "Put it away after it dries."

Liu Shangqing did not forget to ask: "Be careful."

These are his and Qi Yu's plans for the future.

It is inconvenient for him to walk, and Qi Yu is a girl, so he must be fully prepared.

The little boy took the words he had written, and just as he was about to agree, he saw a servant barging in from the study.

The servant hurriedly said: "My lord, someone is visiting."

Liu Shangqing didn't look up: "No see."

"He said his name is Yan Huaiyin." The servant lowered his head and said this again.

Liu Shangqing paused while writing.

He raised his head, no longer the casualness just now: "Please."

When he said that, the servant hurried to open the door, Liu Shangqing said to the little boy standing by the table: "You also go out."

The little boy let out a hey and backed out.

In a blink of an eye, Liu Shangqing was the only one left in the room, Liu Shangqing thought for a while, and went to gather up the rice paper scattered on the table.

He hadn't moved a few times when a voice came from not far away: "Don't be busy, I haven't seen how messy your house is?"

That's right, when they were both teenagers in the past, Yan Huaiyin often came to sit at his house after a busy day.

He is used to being poor, and after he became the number one scholar who beat horses across the street, he just calculated everything, so he bought a cheap small house in this cheap land.

Fortunately, Yan Huaiyin didn't dislike him, every time he came, Liu Shangqing stood by, always felt that there was such a prince in Daqi, and when he came to the throne, even if the building was about to collapse, they would have the wrists to hold it back.

But now the yard is still there, after all, it is nothing but things and people.

Liu Shangqing put away the sourness in his heart, raised his eyes to see Yan Huaiyin walking in the yard.

The moment he saw Yan Huaiyin clearly, he couldn't bear the sourness any longer, and he almost shed tears for a moment.

Yan Huaiyin's mask was taken off the moment he entered the courtyard, what Liu Shangqing saw was his original face.

The gap between the years disappears at this moment.

Yan Huaiyin was still His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was still the same one who entered the palace examination, rummaged through the flimsy closet, finally found a piece of unpatched clothes, and entered the Golden Luan Hall nervously wearing the old washed white clothes - on the day he saw His Highness the Crown Prince He forgot his poverty for a moment, and vowed in his heart to assist such a monarch to bring peace to all ages.

Even if he was just a poor scholar from a poor place at that time, the name of a wise minister through the ages is still far away from him eight lifetimes away.

Liu Shangqing murmured: "Your Highness."

The door of Liu Shangqing's study was open, Yan Huaiyin stepped in directly, and he saw the rice paper on the desk for the first time.

Yan Huaiyin casually picked up a piece of paper and opened it to read, and saw place names densely written on the rice paper, and these place names were connected in series to form a line.

He smiled and said, "Are you ready to leave now?"

Liu Shangqing came back to his senses, pursed his lips, lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, during the Chongyuan period, the officialdom was dark, and the imperial examination questions were circulated among the disciples of the nobles. Except for the position of emperor, this official seal of civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty Official uniform, which one cannot be bought with silver?"

"For a poor person like me, even if he studies hard in a poor window, he will never make it to the top." Liu Shangqing raised his head, he has been thinking too much for the past two days, and his eyes are faintly black and blue, "but not in the 40 years of Chongyuan. "

During the 40 years of Chongyuan, the 15-year-old little prince took over the imperial examinations of that year.

In the first six months of the imperial examination, the 40-year imperial examination in Chongyuan became the clearest and grandest imperial examination in the Jing Dynasty in the past 50 years.

The little prince killed a group of people, and promoted a group of people, among them was Liu Qingyun, who was originally a junior official of the seventh rank, and suddenly became the Minister of Rites who presided over the imperial examination.

This year's imperial examinations have selected students who can truly carry the future of the Jing Dynasty.

Although most of them are poor and embarrassing, there are no parents with high official salaries behind them.

Liu Shangqing was the No. [-] scholar of that year. He rode a horse across the long street and climbed the Phoenix Tower with hairpin flowers.

famous all over the world.

"Your Highness," Liu Shangqing finally revealed a long-suppressed, bitter and sad expression on his face, "I am a poor man, Your Highness is the mansion, and I am the lord of the minister. But... I owe the princess a lot, she is very Very good woman."

Yan Huaiyin knew that Liu Shangqing had a past with Qi Yu before he took the imperial examination.

The acquaintance of flowers and brocades is always like water, and the support before making a fortune is enough to move people's hearts.

Hearing what he said, Yan Huaiyin smiled, and said, "I didn't say I wouldn't let you go."

"Zhang Hua," he called out Liu Shangqing's name, "Qi Yu is a girl's family. Even if he wants to leave, you will be his husband in the future. Before you leave, there must be a status between you two. How difficult it is for a girl's family to walk , she gave up her princess status for you, you don't give her anything, what do you say?"

Yan Huaiyin moved her arm, revealing what she had been holding in the crook of her right arm.

It is a bright yellow scroll.

Yan Huaiyin gently threw the scroll to him.

The moment Liu Shangqing saw the scroll, he seemed to understand something.

He opened the scroll tremblingly, and when he saw the words on it clearly, tears flowed out instantly.

Yan Huaiyin rolled his eyes and said softly, "Zhang Hua, let's get married."

It is the imperial edict of Emperor Chengde to bestow marriage.

The sixth princess, Qi Yu, lost the reputation of Shunhe, so she didn't have to go across thousands of mountains and rivers to match the Khan, but to find a champion man in Chaohua City to be her husband.

"Qi Yu is a princess. Although the fiefdom is not as big as the prince's, it is reasonable to say that the princess should also enjoy the fief." Yan Huaiyin said with a smile, "the south is rich and there is no war. I got a fiefdom for you two from Emperor Chengde. Although it's small and far away from Chaohua City, it's better than being safe."

He slowly put together the unpacked rice paper on the case by Liu Shangqing, and the sunlight outside the window hit his brows and eyes as clear as jade: "You are married this year, after the last year in Chaohua City, next spring Go out of the city when the ice and snow melt, walk all the way through the water, and when you reach the fiefdom, it will be the day when the tender willows of Sudi will sprout. You go there to live your life in peace and security, and I will talk to you two about the right and wrong of Chaohua City. It's irrelevant."

Liu Shangqing tightly held the imperial decree in his hand, and only choked out two words from his throat for a long time: "Your Highness..."

"Zhang Hua, you are right, you were single-handedly selected by me, the number one scholar in the 40th year of Chongyuan," Yan Huaiyin said softly, "You and I are considered a monarch and minister, I let you stay in Chaohua City back then, Now I will naturally find a good place for you."

The water in the Spring River is warm, and the mist and rain surround the embankment. It is a good place to be carefree.

Liu Shangqing held the scroll, he couldn't kneel down, so he bent down deeply, deeply in the wheelchair.

Yan Huaiyin accepted his gift, and said: "Let's go, remember to leave a copy of the wedding invitation for me."

He has to go back to coax people.

But when Yan Huaiyin entered Liu Shangqing's mansion, he did not hesitate at all. When he arrived at the Qiansui Mansion, he actually lingered for half an hour without daring to go in.

In the end, he decided to climb over to the wall to take a look.

But before he could stand firmly on the wall, someone grabbed his arm the next moment.

On the red wall and black tiles, Yan Huaiyin almost fell into Jiang Lian's arms.

Jiang Lian didn't pause at all. After catching him, he hugged him up on his waist and knees, and strode into the house.

Yan Huaiyin was stunned for a while before he realized in what position he was held in Jiang Lian's arms.

He wanted to break free, but Jiang Lian's hug was very tight, Yan Huaiyin moved, and couldn't break free for a while, and because of the fear of weightlessness, he could only wrap his hands around Jiang Lian's back of the neck to stabilize himself first.

Seeing him struggling, Jiang Lian spoke only at this moment: "Now you know how scared you are?"

Yan Huaiyin put his arms around his shoulders and neck, raised his eyelids, and saw his tense jaw.

Yan Huaiyin didn't speak, but stopped struggling.

With Jiang Lian's long legs, it took half as much time as others to walk from the front yard to the back yard, but it still took a little time.

After closing the door in the room and putting Yan Huaiyin on the chair, Jiang Lian lowered his head to look at him.

Yan Huaiyin was sitting upright in the chair, Jiang Lian leaned his arms on the armrests on both sides of his body, lowered his head, and looked at him indifferently.

The two were so close that Yan Huaiyin could clearly see himself in his amber pupils.

Jiang Lian was angry, although he didn't speak.

Yan Huaiyin tilted his head, and he stretched out his hand to cover Jiang Lian's profile.

Jiang Lian didn't dodge.

Yan Huaiyin's cold fingertips followed his side face all the way back, and finally her forearm rested on the back of his neck.

He raised his body slightly and sent himself into Jiang Lian's arms.

Jiang Lian's expression finally changed a bit.

He simply couldn't refuse Yan Huaiyin like this.

Yan Huaiyin finally rested his chin on Jiang Lian's neck. He closed his eyes and mumbled, "Jiang Lian, I'm so sleepy. Don't be angry, wait until I wake up and get angry at me, okay?"

He didn't sleep all night, and today he confronted Emperor Chengde for a whole day, saying that he was not sleepy was a lie.

All Jiang Lian's anger disappeared in Yan Huaiyin's words.

Yan Huaiyin is like this, if he doesn't like you, you can't even touch him.

If he likes you, he will look like this, knowing that you like him, he will lie in your arms softly, as if you can do anything you want to him.

Jiang Lian was helpless with this kind of honor, so he could only willingly drop his helmet and armor.

He stretched out his hand to rub Yan Huaiyin's hair, and said in a low voice, "Go to bed and sleep."

Yan Huaiyin couldn't fall asleep again after getting on the bed.

Jiang Lian sat beside him, pulled him into his arms and locked him up, and said in a low voice, "If you can't sleep, tell me what you did after entering the palace today."

Yan Huaiyin, who he hugged from behind, was dishonest and pecked at the tips of his ears with his lips. Yan Huaiyin covered his ears and managed to save himself from Jiang Lian's mouth: "I'll go to Emperor Chengde for some The Turkic information, by the way, made him withdraw the stupid way of getting married."

When he said this, he turned his head to look at Jiang Lian, with squinted eyes: "Jiang Lian, Liu Shangqing is getting married."

Jiang Lian is not interested in whether others get married or not, he said: "Qi Xuanchang has such a temper, he doesn't see the benefit and doesn't let go, how did you do it?"

Yan Huaiyin tilted her head: "I gave him the Chuan Guo Yuxi."

Jiang Lian looked up at him.

Yan Huaiyin patted his head like a puppy: "Don't worry, it's fake."

Anyway, Emperor Chengde had never seen the real Jade Seal of Chuanguo, this fake Jade Seal of Chuanguo was enough to confuse the real one, and it would be good to fool him with it.

"What about the Turks?"

Hearing him ask this, Yan Huaiyin smiled: "I always think that the Turkic invasion is too strange."

Some people seem to cooperate with each other inside and out.

Yan Huaiyin said four more words: "It's hard to guard against a house thief."

"But I have to think about it again," Yan Huaiyin said lazily, "and then find a way to get some news out."

He hung his head thinking about something, Jiang Lian reached out to rub his shoulders, his fingertips lingering on the back of his pale neck: "Leave this to me, I'll get these things for you."

Yan Huaiyin laughed when he heard it: "It's really my blessing to be able to work hard for nine thousand years."

Jiang Lian didn't accept his teasing, he said: "Yan Huaiyin, I thought a lot today."

Yan Huaiyin hummed, motioning for him to continue.

He didn't wait for Jiang Lian's next words, but there was something cold in his hand.

Yan Huaiyin looked down and saw that it was a waist card.

The waist badge of Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei Town is the waist badge that can mobilize all Jinyiwei.

Jiang Lian's breath enveloped densely from behind, and Yan Huaiyin had another waist card in his hand.

The badge of Dongchang.

The person holding him handed him the third item as if he didn't want money.

The Tiger Talisman of the Jiangbei Camp can mobilize half of the Jiangbei Camp's 20 troops.

At the end is a heavy mahogany box, on which is pressed Jiang Lian's own waist card, with which he can enter and leave the palace at will.Yan Huaiyin opened the box, and inside was a thick pile of land deeds from various houses and shops in Chaohua City...

Nine thousand years old's entire net worth.

Yan Huaiyin paused and asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's all because of you," Jiang Lian rested his chin on top of his head, "Our family motto is that everything earned should be taken care of by the wife."

He hooked Yan Huaiyin's hair with his fingertips and played with it: "This is what I earned in the past eight years."

"Yan Huaiyin, they are yours now."
