Zhao Ji, the 11th son of Shenzong, is the younger brother of zhe Zong, an official family of the great song dynasty.
As a prince born with a golden spoon, Zhao Ji has been treated with dignity since he was a child, and his character has gradually become frivolous and unrestrained.
However, Zhao Ji is not good for nothing. His pen and ink, painting, horse riding, archery and Cuju are all very deep. Calligraphy and painting, in particular, have a talent that others can''t match.
More than that, he was also very interested in exotic flowers and plants, birds and animals.
Such a prince full of literary talent, if not later ascended the throne, it must be nothing to achieve a generation of great literary giants respected by everyone.
Of course, fools don''t think they are stupid, and talented people don''t think they are incompetent. Zhao Ji, for example, also coveted the chair.
Praised by too many people for their outstanding talent, they naturally feel that it is not difficult to be an emperor. On the contrary, with their own intelligence, they will be able to do better.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Ji, who has been the king of Duan, is always a little uneasy.
His brother, his majesty, fell ill again. You know, because he was weak and ill since childhood, his brother had only one son under his knee and had died prematurely.
So, isn''t it
"No more..."
He was so upset that he didn''t have a state of mind. He directly "snapped" and threw his pen directly onto the bookcase.
"Your Highness is upset. There''s something new here. Maybe your highness will be interested." a handsome young fellow nearby suddenly reminded.
"Oh, tell me about it?"
"Your Highness, have you ever heard of Yunhuan pavilion?"
"Er..."
Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment. Isn''t that the brothel? As a handsome scholar, why don''t you know?
The head of yunhuan Pavilion, yunhuan''er, is also a talented woman. She has dabbled in poetry, songs and Fu, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In particular, the art of Qin is famous in Bianjing.
"I''m not in the mood to go to the brothel now."
"Your Highness, I don''t know." the little fellow smiled foolishly, but he was somewhat charming,
"A few days ago, yunxingshou was lucky to get a masterpiece painting called the painting of flying immortals. It is said that it was done by a Taoist expert with successful practice. Everyone who sees this painting is as if he were in a fairyland."
"Flying immortal figure, is this really true?" Zhao Ji suddenly brightened his eyes and couldn''t help holding each other''s palm. The boy turned red and replied,
"How dare you deceive your highness? It has been widely spread in Bianjing. In particular, the author, a Taoist called Feiyun immortal, has been highly praised by countless people. They all say that the other party is a real Taoist. Otherwise, how could he make such extraordinary paintings."
It was also a painting and an expert, which really scratched Zhao Ji''s itch. Calligraphy and painting are his hobbies, and cultivating immortality is his favorite.
"Do you know where immortal Feiyun is now?"
"This... I don''t know. I think yunxingshou should know. After all, the flying immortal picture was drawn based on her, and the relationship between the two sides must be different." the young man shook his head gently and guessed.
"Flying immortal, flying cloud immortal..."
Zhao Ji murmured the two names in a low voice, with an indisputable intention in his expression. However, I suddenly thought of the situation in the palace. At this moment, the officials are still seriously ill in bed. It is obviously inappropriate to run to the brothel at this time.
"In this way, if you command to go down and let people secretly investigate the matter, you''d better find the tracks of flying cloud people directly. In addition, we must pay attention to one thing. If there is news, the first time to return the notice, we must not rush to contact, so as not to disturb the other party."
"Don''t worry, your highness. I''ll do it now."
The handsome boy nodded and then stepped back slowly.
……
It''s daybreak, Li Fu.
Xiaohuan brought hot water into her girl''s boudoir early in the morning. However, the eye-catching scene stunned her, and even the copper basin in her hand almost fell to the ground.
On the bookcase and on the floor, there were paper everywhere, which was covered with handwriting. But the girl of her own family did not know when she was lying there sleeping soundly.
Even more speechless, his jade like cheeks were stained with several black ink, looking like a flower cat. You know, girls always love cleanliness.
Squat down and pick up the paper on the ground. When you finish reading the handwriting on it, you suddenly feel a little surprised. She is also literate. Although she is not much, she can also see what the above means. It is clear that it is the arithmetic problem sent by the former Chu.
But didn''t the girl intend to give up? How did she start to calculate again? Even last night, the girl specially ordered not to disturb me. It was all for this.
"This Chu surname is really harmful."
Xiao Huan scolded angrily, but there was no way.
"Do you sleep like this all night and don''t even wear clothes? If you catch a cold, how can you live well?"
He muttered, carefully moved to the back of the bookcase and gently pushed each other''s shoulder.
"Oh..."
The woman opened her hazy eyes and seemed to be a little confused. Slowly propped up his body and looked around, speechless for a long time.
"Girl, you''d better go to bed. It''s easy to hurt your body here."
"It''s already dawn!"
The woman rubbed her forehead and felt some pain in her head. The beautiful E-Mei frowned unconsciously.
"Wake up by you. I''m sleepless."
It seems that I suddenly thought of something, and then turned it on the book case. After a while, I suddenly turned to one of them. Looking at the content above, I was finally relieved.
"Girl, did you figure it out?" Xiaohuan was slightly surprised and asked tentatively.
"No, it''s just more than twenty squares." the woman rubbed her eyebrows and said helplessly.
"Didn''t you say before that it''s impossible to calculate the result? How can you calculate it? Isn''t it useless?" Xiao Huan was a little puzzled.
"The difficulty of this problem is rare in the world. Even he may not get the result. I will compare with him to see who can calculate more."
The woman suddenly thought of the mysterious paper crane last night and said in her heart, that guy is really hateful. I don''t know how to do it. Moreover, with so many questions written on it, it is clear that they are "demonstrating" to themselves in retaliation for their previous "difficulties".
This time, you can''t lose to him anyway.
"However, if you go on like this, your body will collapse first if you don''t work out the problem." seeing the girl''s appearance of not admitting defeat, Xiao huandun was worried and hurriedly comforted.
"It doesn''t matter. I just have a headache. I think it may be lack of sleep. I..."
The woman stood up, but at this time, there was a sudden black light in the center of her eyebrows. Before she finished speaking, she blacked in front of her eyes and fainted directly.
It happened so secretly that Xiaohuan didn''t notice it and was stunned for a while. Just for a moment, he immediately reacted and shouted:
"Girl..."
……
After a fight, Chu Feng took Xiaocui''s timely handkerchief and wiped it briefly. But at this time, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly came.
"Grandpa... Childe, it''s bad..."
It was Xiao Liu who came. It seemed that he ran too fast and was out of breath.
"What''s the panic? Wait a minute."
Chu Feng looked at each other and couldn''t help but be dumb. This boy is really a child. He is always so angry. Xiaocui stood by and looked at it, smiling.
"Childe, it''s... It''s Li''s house. The girl in Li''s house next door seems to have an accident."
"Tell me more." Chu Feng looked stunned and asked again.
"Just now, I saw a doctor hurried into Li''s house. Later, I asked casually and said that the girl of Li family suddenly fainted in the room in the morning."
Xiao Liu said, glanced at Chu Feng secretly, and then stood quietly aside without saying more.
Although he is young, his mind is clever. His childe is very mysterious and has some incomprehensible extraordinary abilities. Naturally, such a master should follow closely and show loyalty at all times.
Through observation, he had already vaguely felt that the childe seemed to be very interested in the Li family girl, so he cared a lot on weekdays. He even made friends with the servants of Li''s house. No, he heard the news at the first time when something happened.
Chu Feng frowned and no longer scruples. Then he let go of his divine knowledge and went to the house next door.
"Well, what is this?"
A moment later, it seemed that he suddenly noticed something. His face suddenly changed and ordered,
"I went back to my room to do something. I remember that no one can disturb me without my order. Violators will be severely punished."
Then he turned his head and stared at them,
"You two will guard outside the door."
"Don''t worry, young master. I''m sure I''ll live up to my mission." Xiao Liu raised his head and patted his chest directly.
"Very good."
Chu Feng praised and did not hesitate to return to the room.
When he was calm, his hands began to pinch the Dharma formula at a high speed. Suddenly, there was a flash of light, but mysterious purple runes jumped out and shot continuously. Finally, they didn''t enter all the doors and windows.
"Master, are we going to do it?" the purple light flashed out. It was Xiao Zi who was obviously very excited and asked eagerly.
"This may be a good opportunity. You can''t miss it."
As soon as the voice fell, I saw a flash of purple light, and their figures had disappeared in the room.
……
At this time, there was already a mess in Li''s house. Li Gefei, a member of the Ministry of rites, heard that his daughter suddenly fell unconscious, so he was anxious to turn around. With his wife, he waited anxiously by the bed.
On the other side, the old doctor kept silent according to his pulse for a long time, and his eyes showed doubts from time to time. A moment later, the doctor took back his thin palm and shook his head with a dignified face.
"How''s it going?"
"Forgive me, there''s nothing I can do. Li Guanren, I''d better ask someone else."
The doctor sighed and then left. Li Gefei''s face suddenly changed, but he had to order his servants to send them off, and he was silent.
"Elder sister, the auspicious person has his own appearance. Don''t worry about damaging his body," Wang said softly.
"Why did this happen suddenly for no reason?"
Li Gefei frowned, suddenly looked at the same anxious little ring in the distance, and then waved to him.
"Master, big lady."
"Tell me, what''s going on?"
"This..."
Xiaohuan hesitated. She guessed that it might have something to do with Chu next door. However, I always think something is wrong. There have been such things as reading and sleeping late before. Why is it so serious that I can''t wake up this time?
"Don''t tell me what to do." Li Gefei looked fierce and asked again.
"Master, forgive me, and I''m not sure." Xiao Huan''s eyes flashed slightly and then said,
"Well, the girl got a strange question by chance a few days ago, and she couldn''t solve it after thinking about it. She had given up, but she was interested again yesterday, so she didn''t sleep all night. When she was about to wash herself this morning, she suddenly fainted for no reason."
"Strange question, what strange question?"
Li Gefei couldn''t help but be a little stunned. How did it have anything to do with problem solving?
"Just..."
Xiao Huan was stunned and couldn''t answer for a moment. Then he ran to the desk and returned soon. He was holding a letter in his hand.
"Sir, that''s it."
"Well"
Li Gefei nodded, then took the letter and looked at it.
"The chess player, except Jiehe, has a total of 8864 spaces, and one grain of rice is placed in the first space..."
The number of words in the title is small, and the meaning is clear, almost instantly. However, there were some doubts in his mind. This question doesn''t seem difficult. As for staying up all night to calculate?
"The girl once said that the difficulty of this problem is rare in the world. I''m afraid no one can solve it in the great song dynasty. Even the girl herself spent a lot of effort to calculate more than 20 squares, but she can''t count it anymore."
Xiao Huan naturally noticed his master''s look and hurriedly added.
"Is it so difficult?"
Li Gefei couldn''t help but be surprised that his daughter was intelligent from childhood, and her talent was extraordinary, even compared with those famous talents. Since she said so, it must not be aimless.
Looking at the topic again, my heart began to calculate silently. After a moment, my face suddenly changed. Until this time, he just reflected that the problem was really not simple. At the beginning, it was OK. The more later, the difficulty almost doubled.
"Eh?" suddenly, he seemed to find something and asked again,
"The handwriting on this topic is self-contained, sharp and carefree, but only men can have it."
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked up at Xiao Huan,
"Who did it come from?"
"Ah, yes..."
Xiaohuan was surprised and was finally asked. In this way, don''t you have to tell the truth about the disputes between childe Chu and the girl?
She knew what her girl was thinking, but she certainly didn''t want to. Therefore, it was deliberately vague before. Unfortunately, the paper can''t stop the fire. It will be exposed after all.
Just as it was tangled, suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly remembered, and immediately attracted everyone''s mind.
"Master, a big monk came outside and said he could cure the girl''s disease."
"Monk!"
At this time, Li Gefei was not as surprised as he imagined. On the contrary, he was more confused. It''s a coincidence that a monk came to my daughter just after she got a strange disease and was unconscious?
In addition, if you get sick, you should go to a doctor. If one can''t, please hire more. As for monks of unknown origin, how can they be trusted?
"Master, you might as well invite people in first and have a look." as a bedside man, Wang couldn''t see his master''s mind and suggested softly.
"Well, I''ll go to meet you in person." Li Kefei glanced at his daughter lying unconscious on the bed and immediately got up.
