Forbidden City, a simple palace within the Chonghua Palace in the east.
The deep palace is filled with the fragrance of Buddha all year round.
An old woman with luxurious clothes and hair as white as snow was meditating quietly next to the incense table.
She is one of the most noble women in the world!
A servant came quietly through the back door.
"how?"
"Go back to your Majesty, the matter has been finished."
"I asked how the woman was doing."
Hearing his master's unkind voice, the servant hurriedly knelt down.
"I heard that he was rescued by the general on duty, but he must have been quite frightened. The entire forest garden has been put under martial law."
I heard that she was just frightened, and the old woman had a gloomy look on her face.
That damn woman is always lucky! However, originally I just taught her a lesson, but the result was barely satisfactory.
“It can be handled cleanly from beginning to end.”
"Don't worry, Madam, the only servant who took action has already taken care of it and will definitely not be traced to us."
"I know, you can go down."
"Here."
…
Jia Lian did not expect that the fourth prince would personally come and invite him to participate in some cultural gathering.
He still knows what kind of arrogant temper the fourth prince is...
"Go and have a look. Although I know you are a rough guy, as the saying goes, a person with poetry and books in his belly has a good temperament.
You can also cultivate your sentiments and improve your self-cultivation by going to light gatherings.
I know you can't write poems or essays, at least you can watch the fun."
Inside the military tent, the fourth prince was talking to Jia Lian and drinking Jia Lian's tea.
The tea in the military camp tastes sweeter than elsewhere!
Looking at Jia Lian, he is dressed in a general's uniform and armor, which makes him look very heroic, and his eyes are full of envy and yearning.
When can he go to a real battlefield and experience the joyful life of flying sand and rocks, and riding horses across the Gobi desert?
Every time Jia Lian looked at the fourth prince, he found it interesting and naturally felt very happy.
Compared with the third prince and the prince, the fourth prince has a unique temperament and is easy to get along with.
For example, in the Prince's Courtyard before, he and Prince Duan Prince Wei Xian clearly disliked each other, but with the Prince's words, the two of them had to pretend to be very generous and put an end to their past feud.
He could also tell that the prince wanted to win over him, but he didn't let him see any sincerity... at least, he didn't immediately feel that a scholar would die for his confidant!
On the contrary, perhaps he, a mere fourth-grade official, is not enough to be taken seriously by the prince.
So in the main hall of the prince's palace, he just got to know the prince's close aides briefly. Especially after hearing Wei Xian's child's harsh words, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
In fact, he was also surprised that he was used to hearing the sarcastic words of Wang Xifeng and Lin Daiyu, but when it was Wei Xian's son, he felt disgusted. As for the Wenhui, although Jia Lian was not very interested, the fourth prince invited him sincerely and was reasonable and affectionate.
He has to agree.
So when the time came, he simply told his subordinates, and he took Aqi alone to Linyuan as promised.
Perhaps it was because the sky was clear and the weather was clear that we chose the open grassland in front of the Star Observation Tower.
In the northern area of the huge lawn, many of the competitive facilities set up in the morning have been dismantled, and now it has become an open-air banquet venue.
Dozens of tables were scattered around the central platform. Tea and snacks were placed on the tables. There were three or two people at each table. At a glance, there were about one to two hundred young people.
On the platform, three graceful dancers danced in red makeup.
The dance is graceful, the body is soft, and it has a southern flavor.
Overall, the scene of this cultural gathering seems to be quite stylish. It can be seen that the person who presides over cultural gatherings is used to this way, otherwise he would not be so adaptable to local conditions, and there would be no sense of violation in such a place.
Because Jia Lian didn't want to show off, he had already taken off his outer armor when he came, and only wore the clothes of a military attache, so he came directly and did not encounter any obstruction or questioning.
However, the place was open and there were many people, so Jia Lian did not see where the fourth prince was at a glance.
"Here it is."
But it was Zhang Tao who dragged his steps towards him.
Jia Lian never expected that Zhao Tao would stand outside waiting for him.
This little cousin, because he suffered a loss at his hands when they first met, has always been dissatisfied with his cousin. Every time they meet, he always looks like his nostrils are turned upward.
Xu Shi also saw Jia Lian's thoughts. Zhang Tao looked slightly unnatural and hummed: "My brother thinks you can't find the way, so let me wait for you here. Come on, I will take you there."
Although this boy rarely had a good attitude towards him, Jia Lian was still not satisfied.
He deliberately made a displeased attitude, "What are you talking about? My, you can't even call me cousin?"
Zhang Tao snorted: "I haven't recognized you yet, please stop rubbing your nose and face."
"Oh, really. It seems that next time I have to let grandpa train you carefully, so that you know how powerful I am."
"you!!"
Zhang Tao's nose suddenly became angry.
Originally, he was the most favored little cutie in Linzi's uncle's house, and grandpa loved him very much.
But since the arrival of this disgusting and stinky Jia Lian, he has somehow managed to make his grandpa happy!
Then he discovered that his status had declined. Several times, he was framed by the insidious Jia Lian, causing him to be lectured by his father and grandfather.
His father felt that he was not as stable and polite as Jia Lian, so he taught him a lesson.
His grandfather felt that he was not as motivated as Jia Lian, so he trained him hard.
Originally this was a problem in his heart, but he didn't expect that Jia Lian not only didn't feel ashamed, but also dared to use these words to ridicule him. He was so angry that he wanted to rush up and punch Jia Lian.
After all, I knew I couldn't beat him, so I endured it.
"Do you want to come or not?"
After saying the next sentence, Zhang Tao turned around and left.
Jia Lian was finally satisfied to see him so angry, so he didn't feel angry at all and followed him into the venue.
Finally, at a conspicuous position in the north, I saw the fourth prince eating melon seeds, humming a little song and enjoying the beauty's dancing.
Zhang Su sat at the same table with him.
In addition, sitting at the table next to them were Feng Ziying and Chen Yejun, both of whom were acquaintances.
When they saw Jia Lian coming, they all smiled and stood up to say hello.
The fourth prince was very happy to see Jia Lian arriving as promised and asked him to sit with him.
Jia Lian took a look and found that the main venue had small square tables like this, which could seat three or four people. Three of them were most suitable because there was still one side left to admire the beauties on the stage.
After Zhang Tao brought Jia Lian over, he sat directly at the table occupied by Feng and Chen.
So Jia Lian didn't show any pretense, he handed over his hands and apologized, then sat down next to the fourth prince.
The people who can be invited to the scene today are all young people with status and status in the capital, so everyone seems to be very polite. Except for occasionally walking around, there is rarely even a low-pitched chat. Everyone consciously enjoys the music and dance quietly.
Not far away from Jia Lian and others, there was a person who spotted Jia Lian just as he entered the venue.
"Brother, he is Jia Lian. He was the one who persecuted me in the first place. If my father hadn't deigned to redeem me, I might still be in jail in the Army and Horses Division!"
"Oh, he is Jia Lian?
Don't worry, if it were elsewhere, maybe I wouldn't be able to do anything to him, but today...
If he dares to bully my Zhou family, I won't make it easy for him.
Humph, a fool who just graduated from the Imperial College dares to come to participate in the cultural gathering held by His Highness the Crown Prince. He is really ignorant of the world, and I must let him remember it well today."
"Well, if my brother takes action, he will definitely be able to capture him!!"
