On the cold winter day, even the Forbidden City, which had the highest authority in the Ming Dynasty, was white and cold.

But in this warm pavilion of the Forbidden City, it is as warm as spring, making people feel relieved.

Zhu Houzhao took Ye Chunqiu into the warm pavilion, and ordered people to open the window. The snow scene outside caught the eyes of the two of them. Zhu Houzhao smiled at Ye Chunqiu and said, "Is it cold?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "Whoever goes outside the customs cares about this coldness."

Zhu Houzhao smiled again, with a little bit of heroism when she was outside the pass, and said, "That's true, I want to say this."

So he let the cold wind pour in. Zhu Houzhao asked people to tea again and said to Ye Chunqiu: "Chunqiu, I really miss the grassland sometimes. Although it is a little more bitter, I do whatever I want, without any scruples. People are also clear in their paths. Friends are friends and enemies are enemies. But here, everyone pretends to be your ministers, everyone is loyal, but who can tell what they are in their hearts?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea, then smiled and said, "Why don't you talk?"

Ye Chunqiu was silent for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it is not easy for a person to live."

"It's not difficult." Zhu Houzhao's eyes fell on the snow scene that came through the window, and said, "Many times, the reason why it is difficult for people to live is because you have many rules and regulations on you, which frame you, making you unable to breathe. You want to walk sideways, but someone always tells you that people should walk straight, but why can't they walk sideways? No matter what they say makes sense, I will walk sideways and try it. If you listen to them, you will be worldly and have to do what they want. But there are too many Ye Chunqiu that others need in this world. Can't they all think it through the same way as Ye Chunqiu? No, I have thought it through today. I am Zhu Houzhao, and I want to be myself."

After saying that, Zhu Houzhao withdrew her gaze and looked at Ye Chunqiu deeply, but there was a light smile on her lips.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but pretend to be angry: "Your Majesty will tell the truth, but why do you use me as an example?"

Zhu Houzhao curled his lips indifferently and said, "Because you always care about others and never think of it. Usually you teach me the principles of dealing with people, but today, I want to teach you. Look, you are two years younger than me, but in the eyes of people, you are obviously more mature than me. This... is not good."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao laughed again. The smile was gentle and light. It had long disappeared from the rage in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. His eyes were as bright as a crescent moon. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, but he vomited again: "Oh, this tea faded out, come on, come on, change the wine. I want to drink today."

Ye Chunqiu frowned, but he didn't even know that his lips were slightly bent.

……………………

But at the other end of the Forbidden City, there is no such ease at all.

Although it is noon now, it is snowing heavily, and the sun cannot be seen, and it is foggy.

The ministers had already crossed the Jinshui Bridge, and Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen walked slowly and fell behind.

Yang Tinghe had a little anger on his face. He looked at Yang Shen with a reproachful look and lowered his voice: "I have told you that a gentleman has avenged him. It's not too late for ten years. You always don't listen. It's really..."

Yang Shen is still in fear and is still in fear at this moment. He said with a pale face: "Father, what should I do now?"

Yang Tinghe, with his hands behind his back, left a footprint on the snow, but the old god said, "For my father, this is probably someone who has advanced your slander. It must be that Ye Chunqiu, haha... this villain! But... it doesn't matter, finally you are the Hanlin that Your Majesty personally praised. Look, Your Majesty is so angry today, didn't you do anything to you in the end? From this we can see that although Your Majesty is angry, he still can't do anything to you. You must be more careful in these days, be your Hanlin, and don't cause trouble anymore."

He paused and continued, "As for Ye Chunqiu, you must avoid his sharpness for the time being. You have received the honor this year. Next year, you can be promoted to your attendant and lecturer. As long as you become an attendant, when your Majesty's anger is a little relieved, you will find a way for your father to let you go to the Zhanshi Mansion..."

Yang Tinghe had already figured out how to pave the way for Yang Shen. He looked at Yang Shen deeply and then said, "Your Majesty has a deep friendship with Ye Chunqiu. Not to mention you, even I can't shake Ye Chunqiu's equinox. But the prince is different. The prince is still young, and he is still a material that can be made. Do you understand?"

Yang Shen gradually came back to his senses from the shock. He felt a little unwilling to give up, but he could only say: "Yes, my son knows."

The two walked slowly, and Yang Tinghe was waiting to say something to Yang Shen, but at this moment, someone behind him called them: "Comrade Yang Xiu."

The father and son stopped and looked back, but saw Liu Jin smiling and hurriedly catching up with several guards. Liu Jin smiled and saluted Yang Tinghe first and said, "Hello, Mr. Yang."

Yang Tinghe bowed and bowed, "Hello, Eunuch Liu, I don't know what happened..."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Your Majesty has an oral order to tell Yang Xiu. Oh, Mr. Yang, please go back first. I have to tell Yang Xiu in private."

Yang Tinghe couldn't help but wonder what he had to say in private?

But, since it is an oral order, what can he say?

Before the father and son nodded, Liu Jin stretched out his hand and said, "Comrade Yang Xiu, please let me talk with you."

Yang Shen looked at Yang Tinghe hesitantly, and Yang Tinghe nodded silently at him.

But Liu Jin still kept smiling.

Yang Shen had no choice but to go to Wenlou in the distance. Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and turned around and was about to leave. He was still anxious to go to the cabinet to sort out some things. Moreover, his Majesty suddenly attacked today, and he also needed to slowly digest it and think about it clearly.

But when he turned around and his eyes passed by Liu Jin's smiling face, he suddenly shook his body.

Because there was a cold feeling deep in the other person's eyes, Yang Tinghe had turned around, but recalled this look in surprise. When he wanted to make sure, Liu Jin and the guards surrounded Yang Shen and headed towards Wenlou.

Yang Tinghe began to feel uneasy. This uneasy feeling was a little inexplicable. He thought anxiously...

No, nothing should have happened. After all... his son is Qingliu, the dignified top scholar, and Hanlin. Besides, he was even praised, he must have read it wrong, haha...
