Chapter 17 Section five

After leaving the Ministry of Officials, Hui Fan led Cui Hao westward out of the imperial city. Cui Hao still had the feeling of riding a cloud while riding a horse at this time, and felt the confession in his arms, he suddenly felt very funny, Master Huifan reprimanded him rightly, how could a child of an aristocratic family just see an eighth-rank confession Getting overwhelmed?This should be nothing, not worth laughing at! Thinking of this, Cui Hao's blurred eyes gradually became clear again, he sat up straight on the horse, easily held the rein with one hand, and leaned the other hand on the saddle bridge like a son of a noble relative. , The hem of the clothes kept fluttering with the gait of the black horse.

What a beautiful boy! He is a quick learner.Huifan has always claimed that she has a unique vision and never makes mistakes in judging people.At least half of the success this time, maybe he can really do that big thing for himself. Since the current emperor ascended the throne, Huifan has become more and more disappointed day by day.This disappointment comes from many sources. He himself is very clear about his position. He belongs to Empress Wu and wants to work for Empress Wu.Empress Dowager Wu may have her own problems, but she dotes on the little boys like Zhang Yizhi and allows them to do whatever they want, so that Zhang Jianzhi and others usurp the power. This is what Hui Fan feels sorry for Empress Wu.Of course, it is inevitable for people to be confused when they are old, but at that time, her old man could pass the throne to Princess Taiping, and it was just a matter of her old man's words to make Princess Taiping the empress dowager. Why was she so indecisive?

Ordinarily, the current emperor treats his own sister, Princess Taiping, quite well, but Huifan really feels sorry for the princess.At the same time, he really looked down on Queen Wei and their family.Once a vulgar and uneducated person succeeds, his face is simply a sin, not to mention empress Wei and the rest of the big family are rough. And the elegance is gone.What's more, the Wei family's success in one step created a nasty atmosphere of quick success and instant benefit in Chang'an City. Everyone thought that wealth and a noble status could be obtained overnight.The spread of this species will be very detrimental to Princess Taiping's future career.

Hui Fan and Cui Hao had their own concerns, and unknowingly came to the gate of a majestic mansion. The plaque on the gate was the three huge golden characters "Dingkun Pond" written by the current emperor. "This is Princess Anle's new residence, which was originally the place where cargo ships were moored." Cui Hao saw Huifan's originally flowing face with an expression he couldn't describe. Although Huifan was smiling, it might be more accurate to interpret this smile as a kind of self-mockery.Maybe he was dissatisfied with Princess Anle, maybe this place was his frustration.Cui Hao knew nothing about this in his heart, he only knew that Princess Anle was the most beloved youngest daughter of Empress Wei and the current emperor, and she had great power.

"Do you know why it's called Dingkun Pool?" Hui Fan just waved to the sergeant and servants who crossed their arms to salute him, and without even getting off his horse, he led Cui Hao into the mansion from the driveway. "Princess Anle originally asked the emperor for Kunming Pond, but the emperor did not agree. So she built this Dingkun Pond, which is bigger and more gorgeous than Kunming Pond." "Why is that?" "Because Kunming Pond belongs to Princess Taiping!" The wrinkles at the corners of Huifan's eyes deepened, and his gaze was a little dignified.

This is indeed a huge garden. In front of Cui Hao's eyes, there is a pond with a size of tens of acres. The very exquisite main building complex is on the south bank of the pond, and it is a stone's throw away from the gate of the mansion.The fly in the ointment is that the plants in this garden are too poor.One of the two talents that Cui Hao can boast of is polo, and the other is his extensive knowledge of plants.Such a garden does not have tall trees and rare flowers to match it, just like a beauty without grooming.This Princess Anle may not be a really sentimental person, she built this garden just to fight against Princess Taiping.

"How do you see the place?" Cui Hao had already noticed the court on the east side of the pond.He jumped off the horse, stomped hard with his boots, wiped the hardness of the field, and squatted down to pick up a handful of dirt.The soil is soft and not sticky, and it smells fragrant. "This is red clay brought from western Sichuan, and sesame oil is sprinkled on it every day." Hui Fan did not dismount, hoping to use every possible opportunity to observe this young man carefully. "Princess Taiping also has such a ceremony in Xingdaofang's mansion." "Is it from the Boling Cui family? Come here, let me have a look." Princess An Le leaned on a low rattan couch, she looked only in her twenties, her body was not plump, but she was very tall. Mei, a pair of thin, moth eyebrows drawn with Persian snails seem to be alive and agile.

"What beautiful boots!" Princess Anle gently held the hem of Cui Hao's coat with her slender hands. "Hey! The silk underwear is really a child of a family, so amazing." Princess Anle had already put her hand into Cui Hao's coat at this time. Cui Hao was a little nervous. Through the thin silk jacket, he could feel the warmth of Princess An Le's hands, and he could clearly feel that slender hand crawling up against his inner thigh.He looked towards Huifan as if asking for help, only to see the precious light on Master Huifan's face, as if he didn't notice anything.

This is a bold and presumptuous woman.Cui Hao has no experience and no mental preparation for this. As a last resort, Cui Hao took a step towards the side in a very courteous manner, took a glass of Xiliang wine from the low table, got down on one knee, raised the white jade cup filled with blood-red wine to the level of his eyebrows, and said softly Said: "Being able to see the princess, the villain is not honored." "What a sweet mouth!" Princess Anle pinched Cui Hao's cheek and shook it lightly, then took the jade cup. "Sit at my feet so you can talk."

Cui Hao sat sideways on a corner of the rattan couch, and kept telling himself in his heart: relax, don't be nervous, don't be like a country bumpkin who can't get on the stage.At this moment, he really hopes that he can be as calm and free as a child of a family.Princess Anle didn't think it mattered who he was, he hoped that Master Huifan could see that he was a man to be made. "Hui Fan, have you been summoned by my mother to the palace these days? Is my mother satisfied with you?" It turned out that the princess spoke so unscrupulously to everyone, and Cui Hao felt a little lost in his young heart.

"Princess, you are flattering the little monk too much. It's nothing." Hui Fan's tone was relaxed and humorous. "The empress is in good health and in a good mood, how can I use this little monk." "You yellow-eyed beard is lying again, how can you hide it from me?" "The princess is right, but there is really no such thing." "Is there something going wrong? Would you like me to come forward and do you a little favor? Of course, this is my filial piety." The smile on Princess Anle's face was as bright as a peony in the first bloom, and she seemed so innocent and kind. random. "Thank you, princess." A smile appeared on Hui Fan's face. "However, I heard that the princess is looking for a good polo player. Is that right? This kid has just arrived in Chang'an. I have seen him play. He is a good player." Hearing this, Princess An Le passed Cui Hao's hand to have a look, and said to Hui Fan: "You can't recommend anyone wrong. I often heard my father talk about what happened to the Empress Dowager back then. He said, You are the number one player in polo." Suddenly, Princess An Le seemed to remember something. "The confession you asked for from Ben Gong a few days ago is for him, right?" "Exactly. Hurry up and thank the princess." Cui Hao picked up the hem of Hu Fu briskly with the thumb of his right hand, knelt down on the ground, and gave a deep salute to Princess Anle.His series of movements are extremely free and easy, and even Huifan didn't expect him to have such a skill. "That's all. Good boy, work hard in the future, my sister will love you." Cui Hao was really a little confused by Princess Anle's nonsense.This princess is very much like the daughter of a hotel owner who grew up in the city.
