On the first day of the first lunar month, a scene that happened in the square in front of the Huangji Palace quickly spread throughout the capital as the officials spread.

In the first lunar month, it was originally a day to visit relatives and friends. The news spread unexpectedly. Officials in Beijing were analyzing the inside story.

Wei Qihou was an important official in the court, so how could he find Qi Chi's trouble in public? The most common interpretation is: this is a blockade from the forces of all parties in the court to be promoted to a Grand Secretary. Of course, Governor Qi has to be rewarded for his contributions, but he also needs to be suppressed.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, in the palace of King Wu in Xianyifang, the capital city, the King of Wu held a banquet to entertain Jia Huan who came to pay New Year's greetings.

The furnishings are elegantly decorated. On the wall is a famous peony landscape painting, and the Eight Immortals table is covered with precious square camel-colored landscape pattern carpets. The window is facing the exquisite garden. The snow covers the garden. It is so beautiful.

The King of Wu smiled and asked Jia Huan about his opinion, "What do Zi Yu think?" After not seeing him for three years, the King of Wu also looked aging. He was forty-six years old this year. He was wearing a red prince's regular suit, which showed elegance and calmness.

On the side, Ning Cheng, the prince and Duke of Yue, were accompanying him. The bright and shiny princess Xiao was already married and was not here to accompany him.

Jia Huan was wearing a water-blue long gown and a purplish head. He dressed casually without losing his beauty. He smiled and said, "I think Wei Qihou is testing Governor Qi's attitude. See if he has any idea of ​​going one step closer."

The King of Wu couldn't help but smile and raised his wine glass, "Zi Yu is very good at seeing!" It turns out that he is well-deserved.

If Qi Chi intends to be a Grand Secretary, Wei Qihou will be so provoked, he will inevitably be denounced by him! The Grand Secretary is above the prince. Although he does not have the right to transfer military power, he is higher than the left and right governors of the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Qi Chi responded with neither humility nor arrogantly, but he was afraid he was unwilling to enter the Military Affairs Office at an extraordinary moment. One day, the emperor and the ministers!

Jia Huan and King Wu had a drink.

Ning Cheng looked at Jia Huan with admiration, stood up and poured wine for Jia Huan, "Oh... If Mr. Jia is in the capital, why would Secretary Ji be like this?"

He and Yan Wang Ningxi were both disciples of Jia Huan and were deeply influenced by Jia Huan's views. Political figures cannot be distinguished by good or bad; but by whether they are qualified: in their position, plan their politics!

It is obvious that the Grand Secretary of Hua Mohua formed cliques, corruption, and ruined the country! He was very incompetent! Inaction. On the other hand, Ji Xingsheng, the Minister of Works, has done a lot of practical things over the years. At least, the roads inside and outside the capital have been repaired.

His position can be seen without asking.

The King of Wu smiled and made a downward gesture, saying, "Cheng'er..., be careful!"

Ning Cheng smiled naughtyly and stumbled over.

Jia Huan and the King of Wu were chatting casually, involving the geography and customs of the Western Regions, and inadvertently revealed the news that the Persian Empire might be invaded. I believe that in some time, it will reach Emperor Yongzhi's ears.

Today he came to the Wu Palace to have New Year's wine. In fact, the question he wanted to ask the most was: How is Emperor Yongzhi's health?

However, this question is very taboo. Therefore, he did not mention it at all. However, Emperor Yongzhi did not ask any questions about what he did in the Western Regions. I guess the King of Wu would not answer this question.

After a few glasses of wine and talking for more than forty minutes, the King of Wu confessed and left, "Cheng'er, treat Mr. Jia well on my behalf." The King of Wu had a very high status in the capital. He was the confidant of Emperor Yongzhi, the representative of the royal family in the court, and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

A hot power figure! During the Chinese New Year, his family's guests were already crowded. It was Jia Huan who had just eaten a few glasses of wine and sat there for so long.

…

…

As soon as the King of Wu left, Ning Cheng became more active. This was the first time he met Mr. Jia three years later. The unruly little wild horse that day had already started his family: his narrow face, slim and furry beard.

Ning Cheng glanced at the delicacies on the Eight Immortals table and said with a smile: "Mr. Jia, you must have been tired of eating the banquet these days. My sister knows that you are visiting the mansion today and are also in the mansion. Let's go to my study to have a drink."

Jia Huan smiled gently, stood up and said, "Let's go!"

Ning Cheng laughed and said, Mr. Jia was happy. He left the small building next to the garden with Jia Huan and went to the East Road of Wuwangfu, where he lived. He first asked his wife if she was at home. He originally wanted to invite her to visit Mr. Jia.

The pretty maid replied, "Criminal, young grandma is not here. She is with the princess to entertain guests in the main room."

Ning Cheng said, "Forget it. Send someone to invite my sister to come. Get some rice wine." Hear Jia Huan to sit in his study.

The layout of the courtyard is similar. Ning Cheng's study is located in the east wing of the main courtyard. The spacious study is arranged very elegantly. Bookcases are rows of spread along the walls. The desk is on the west side.

Under the glass window are small round tables and round stools for guests. They are all dark red and look elegant.

Jia Huan looked at the study room, chatted with Ning Cheng, and understood his recent situation. At this time, a sound of footsteps came from the door, and a crisp sound was heard behind him, "Mr. Jia, you are back!" The voice was stable. However, people who are familiar with each other, such as Ning Cheng, could naturally hear the joy contained in her voice.

Jia Huan turned around and saw Princess Yongqing. Now she was Princess Yongqing. Ning Xiao came in with a moon-white palace outfit. At first glance, she gave people an extremely stunning feeling. At second glance, she would look at her bright and flawless face.

Her white and oval face and phoenix eyes that look like clear springs are particularly bright, with a straight nose bridge, a standard beautiful face, bright eyes and white teeth. Because of her palace outfit, she is slender, tall, and extremely outstanding, she adds her graceful noble lady temperament.

Ning Xiao followed the maid Zi'er.

"Princess Xiao..." Jia Huan nodded slightly, stood with a smile, with joy and emotion in his heart. How could he forget that before he left the capital, when Ning Xiao smiled as bright as a flower when he smiled goodbye to him!

It is said that he is still a young man when he returns. After three years, he is no longer a young man. His experience in the Western Regions has changed him a lot. But Princess Xiao is still beautiful!

Ning Xiao was beautiful, wise and generous. At this time, she smiled slightly and drove away the little coldness left on her beautiful face. She was very unfortunate. She praised: "Mr. Jia traveled thousands of miles in the Western Regions and pacified the best in pacifying the Western Regions. She also had poetry and lyrics and literary style. I congratulate her!"

Who would be unhappy to praise the beautiful Princess Xiao? How could Jia Huan be exceptional? He smiled freely and said, "Thank you for your praise. Please!"

Ning Cheng cheered on the side and said, "Sister, there is no one who just talks but doesn't practice. Let's sit down and have a drink."

Ning Xiao smiled sweetly, the twenty-year-old woman, as bright as a flower, reached out to signal, saying, "Please!"

The three of them sat down and the maids delivered wine and food. Ning Cheng cleared the venue, and the three of them drank alone, chatting.

After talking for a while, talking about the situation after the parting, eating a few glasses of wine, Ning Xiao pondered: "Mr. Jia, the inscriptions you wrote in the Western Regions have been circulating in Beijing recently. Your fame has risen to the next level. However, it is not a good thing for you.

On that day, Xing You, the commander of the Jinyiwei, reported your situation in the Western Regions, and specifically notified my father for his whole life. After reading it today, he did not say a word."

This news made Jia Huan frown immediately. He knew the subtext that Ning Xiao wanted to say.
