The Zhenguo Mansion was brightly lit, and the silver bells hung on the corner eaves of the limousines and horses rang endlessly, and the bustling people filled the entire north of Chang'an Avenue.

The smell of wine was soaring, the cups were exchanged, the cups were exchanged, and the noise dispelled the rare night breeze in the hot summer, so that when Dou Xi returned home, his brows furrowed tightly.

Chang Sheng, the servant who grew up with him, was waiting at the door early on. When he saw him coming back, he hurriedly handed over the letter in his hand.

He carefully looked at Shi Ziye's expression, "Master, why don't you go to Hongfang Tower to stay overnight."

The sound of the inner courtyard was separated so far, but it was still clearly heard, and occasionally someone shouted flattery, He Dou fifth master had a happy birthday.

"Now I have a home and can't go back." He said without a tone, and there was already a dangerous atmosphere in the suppressed eyebrows and eyes.

Changsheng said, "The little ones don't dare."

Dou Xihui put his hand on his shoulder and patted him comfortingly, "What are you doing?"

There were three belly-turned carps floating on the surface of the pool behind the screen wall, and Dou Xihui seemed to be able to smell the stench of rotting fish bodies.

If it weren't for something that had to be discussed today, he really didn't want to set foot here again.

He opened the letter casually, and the dark red light from the red lantern under the eaves surrounded his tall and broad body. The servants who accompanied him bowed their heads in silence, making room for the master to read the letter.

The quieter this side is, the more obvious the noise is over there. The voice of Zhen Guogong shouting with his tongue suddenly raised, "Of course the old man will persist until Cong'er grows up. Even for Cong'er, there will be more Live for a few years... Come, come, drink... Master Li, I offer you a toast."

Without missing a single word, with the cool night wind blowing into Dou Xihui's ears, he squeezed a little harder with his fingertips, the letter paper was torn by the middle, Changsheng was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe.

The implication is on the surface, his biological father announced that he would leave the title to the fifth child, even if the son was born to a concubine.

Dou Xi's face was as cold as ice, he was numb after hearing these words...

Dou Xihui's dark eyes sank, and he didn't hide the impatience in his eyes. He tore off the cover of the letter paper, put it together in such a broken way, and skipped the contents of the letter at a glance.

I don't know what's in the letter, but in short, it relieved Dou Xihui's sudden depression.

Changsheng's voice was like a mosquito, "Someone has already ordered your house to be cleaned up, do you want to go in and rest directly?"

Long business glanced at the gate of the house pointedly, and walked through the hanging flower door in the ear room. The banquet held in the courtyard had not yet ended, and the wine was at the right time, so the son of the world would inevitably collide with the banquet of the Duke of Zhen if he went in like this.

"You are exhausted, and you have been walking for three months. Why don't you rest first..." Changsheng tentatively figured out what Dou Xihui was thinking. He lowered his head. No one else can compare, but since the old lady passed away, he has become more and more incomprehensible to the prince.

He waited tremblingly, and when the old lady left, she took away the warmth of the son.

Dou Xihui raised his hand to stop his words, dimples appeared on his cheeks as he spoke, "No, I will return to Beijing before the crown prince. I am not here to hide today. Tell father, I will wait for him in the South study."

He took a step ahead, left the attendants far away, pushed open the door of the south study, and sank his body in the armchair. The south study was full of mold, he pushed all the doors and windows open, and the clean air and heat entered together. to the house.

Tangtang Township's mansion looks like gold and jade, but it is actually ruined.

The dead fish in the pond, the moldy and yellowed books, seeing the big from the small, the government of Zhen Guo has reached the end of its strength.

He pressed the letter into the title page of the book, closed his eyes and meditated, when he heard the sound of walking outside, his closed eyelids suddenly opened.

The door of the South Study Room was pushed open roughly, and the visitor said mercilessly, "It's fine if you came back quietly, you have to call me away, then in front of so many people, don't think that the emperor thinks highly of you now, Then you can be a domineering power over your father and me."

Zhen Guogong glared at him, his round belly propped up the fabric of his clothes, he pretended to use vent words to maintain his father's image, but was overwhelmed by his casual eyes.

He looked at his son who was now a good dancer in the court, and he didn't feel proud, but rather apprehensive.

Dou Xihui's eyes are big and energetic, with long slits, and when the black pupils look over intently, they look like a knife with sharp blades, which can reflect his ugly face.

"Father is wrong to say that. My son just asked Changsheng to invite you. As for whether you will come or when, it is up to you."

Dou Xihui frowned in disgust, he didn't want to practice Tai Chi with him again, and said straight to his heart, "After all, doesn't father have to rely on his son now, that's why so many people come to flatter him."

It was like stomping on the cat's tail, the old cat exploded, and Zhen Guogong trembled angrily, and he no longer had the "high-spirited" appearance at the banquet.

Dou Xihui frowned, "Father, instead of confronting me tit for tat, it's better to listen to my son. Although the government of the town is declining day by day, you are welcome to stay. At least the current glory can be preserved."

"What are you talking about? It's getting worse... You can't hope that the house will get better. You have been spoiled by your mother. Today is your younger brother's birthday, and you don't even show your face."

Speaking of mother, Dou Xihui's originally slack body suddenly tensed up. He crossed his chest and hugged his shoulders, his shoulders leaning forward slightly, in a completely defensive posture.

Lord Zhen Guo saw him making this gesture, thinking that he had found a loophole in his son's impenetrable defense line, and when he was complacent and wanted to make a strong attack and try to save face, he saw Dou Xihui snorted coldly.

His son, he sat upright, always behaved in an upright manner, and his appearance was even more upright, gentle and refined. The capital had already made a statement, but he suddenly acted in a vitriolic manner, which made Zhen Guogong stunned.

Probably no matter how gentle a person is, once he touches the scar in his heart, he will grow a thick callus of self-protection and become hard, and he will also become a hedgehog to protect his soft belly with a back full of spikes.

"Why do you have the face to mention my mother." He put down this sentence first, and then approached. Duke Zhen is not very tall, and his hunchback due to age makes the tall and broad-shouldered Dou Xihui even more oppressive.

He raised his chin arrogantly, "I just want to say one thing, the prince's party members are not popular, and the six princes' camp cannot be relied on. The forces in the court are intricate and complicated. Your majesty is in the prime of life. If you still want Li's son to take over your title, you Just let me stay safe, and such banquets will never be held in the future."

He stopped talking nicely, copied the book with the letter in his hand, kicked the door of the room, and didn't stay any longer.

Dou Xi took big strides back to the Chaoshou verandah before stopping, his chest heaving unceasingly, Chang Sheng was at his side, and said softly, "What happened to the old lady back then...you still can't let go..."

Dou Xihui remained silent for a long time, opened the title page of the book, and took out the letter. The corridor was dimly lit, so he read it again, leaned against the pillar of the corridor, tossed and turned, but found nothing good at all.

"Whenever Mrs. Li dies, I will let it go." He said this, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was wrong. "Whenever my father died with Mrs. Li, I will let it go. However, A Niang is also underground. I don’t want to see their faces.”

Chang Sheng said: "Then why do you bother with them? Your Majesty has already separated you from the Zhen Guo Gongfu, so it should not affect your official career."

Dou Xihui looked at Changsheng for a long time, but he didn't dare to look at him again when he saw Changsheng, "Master, I made a mistake again."

"You're right, sometimes I don't know what I'm doing. Your Majesty doesn't tell the prince and the sixth prince. I went to the Rehe Palace a few days ago and met the seventh prince."

Chang Sheng was surprised that the crown prince told him such a royal secret, he was secretly excited and scared, his lips could not stop trembling, "Seventh prince? I don't have any impression."

"I don't have any impression. I went to see it. I took a look at it from a long distance. There is no difference. Except for a good skin, the emperor's intentions are unpredictable. The annual Mulan Siege is coming. Let's see it then. The Dou family If you want to regain your glory, you must place all your bets on the new king."

His mind was getting farther and farther away, and the sound of playing and singing at the banquet in the distance was getting smaller and smaller. He exhaled a foul breath, and it was a little bit more comfortable, "When I went to Shuyun Pavilion, I met a girl."

He raised the letter paper and rubbed the center of his brows, "I asked someone to check her."

……

Xu Lianlang didn't realize that Azhu was gone until noon the next day.

She got up late, and Lu Jieming knocked on her door in the early morning, and told her in a soft voice that the leftover horseshoe cakes were placed in his side hall. After my sister got up, she would eat something to pad her stomach Eat again.

She was sleepy and dazed, but her consciousness was clear, her body just couldn't get up, and she couldn't remember whether she had returned to him or not.

He also heard him explain in detail that the one fed to Xiaoluzi yesterday had some dirt on it at some point, and he teased my sister like that because he was worried that she would eat too much late at night and her stomach would feel uncomfortable.

Xu Lianlang's heart softened when he thought of the appearance of a tall and thin young man standing with his head bowed in front of his room chattering. No matter who was treated so carefully by such a beautiful young man, he couldn't help but feel a little bit growled. Unclear emotions.

So when he heard that Ah Zhu had been chased away by Lu Jieming, Xu Lianlang couldn't help being startled.

She asked, "Is there any reason?"

The servant girl lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at her, her shoulders trembled slightly, as if she was terribly afraid of her.

She was about to ask again, but the servant girl couldn't help but backed away again and again, and said while she was back, "Miss, don't ask any more, but you can ask again. From now on, servant girl will definitely listen to the girl."

Xu Lianlang didn't know why, but overnight, the expressions of the group of people who found out the letter from Shuoyun Pavilion all changed.

Puzzled in her heart, she took the copper basin for washing to serve Concubine Rong.

Concubine Rong pressed the water droplets on her face with a handkerchief, and looked through the bronze mirror at Xu Lianlang who combed her hair into a bun.

"Did Jieming meet the Queen Mother yesterday?" she asked suddenly, and Xu Lianlang responded.

Concubine Rong was a little annoyed, but she continued to ask: "Did the Queen Mother tell him anything?"

Xu Lianlang's forehead twitched, "I don't know."

Rong Pin sneered, "You are so ignorant, he only tells you everything now."

Xu Lianlang's face turned pale, and he immediately knelt down without saying a word.

Concubine Rong took a deep breath, "Lian Lang, you have to remember who you are. He is young and easily confused by others. He is so close to you, don't let you have any daydreaming about wealth."
