In the palace.
In the palace where Ye Yan lives.
Snow was falling heavily outside the room. Ye Yan was sitting at the desk in the room, seriously writing down the procedures for the charity banquet two days later. There was a brazier with charcoal at his feet.
The charcoal uses special wood, which emits a special fragrance when burned. It doesn't have a strong smell of fireworks. Ye Yan likes it very much.
According to the calculation of the lunar calendar, it has now been nine days, and the temperature outside is even lower. Compared with the heavy snow outside the house, this is a very fatal thing.
Those people could not hold on for more than a few days.
"Sending food and clothing may not necessarily solve the problem. On such a cold day, no matter how much you wear, it won't work. This kind of cold is deep into the bones. It seems that we need to find other solutions."
Ye Yan was writing and then suddenly muttered something.
At this moment, the room door was pushed open with a creak.
Ye Yan didn't need to look up to know who was coming.
In this palace, the only person who dared to push the door in without his permission was the little girl Mingyu. This was the power given by him personally.
And Mingyu would not open the door to his room casually. With his support, Mingyu still couldn't change his timidity.
If nothing happened, Mingyu would definitely not dare to disturb him.
"Mingyu, what happened?"
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is outside now." Mingyu bowed obediently.
Ye Yan put down the brush in his hand and said in surprise: "Brother, why did he suddenly have time to come to my place today?"
With that said, he stood up.
No matter why Ye Chen came here, he had to go and receive him.
What's more, now that the charity banquet has developed, it's time to let Ye Chen know.
Even if Ye Chen doesn't look for him, he will look for Ye Chen before tomorrow at most.
Since it is a charity banquet, people must be formally invited to attend.
If he came forward to invite, his status would not be enough to face so many aristocratic families.
But if Ye Yucheng invited him, the nature would be different.
The Queen and Concubine Xian are also not good. Ye Chen, the future prince recognized by everyone, is the most suitable candidate.
Looking at Ye Yan, Mingyu shook his head and said, "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince didn't say anything happened."
Ye Yan nodded to express understanding, then took the lead and walked out of the room.
Reception hall.
Ye Chen stood tall and straight, with his hands behind his back and his eyes fixed on his face. There was no trace of the casual attitude that Ye Yan had when he went to his side.
He was trained as a future prince since he was a child, and he was very particular about his appearance.
Ye Yan walked in quickly. After seeing his back, Ye Yan said to his back: "Brother, why did you come to my place? Aren't you busy with things assigned by your father recently?" "
Hearing Ye Yan's voice, Ye Chen turned around and said with a smile on his face: "Can't I come to see you at some point?"
Ye Yan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, please don't accuse me wrongly. That's not what I meant."
"You kid." Ye Chen smiled, then sighed and said, "But Seventh Brother, you guessed it right. Brother Emperor, I did not come to find you for no reason."
Ye Yan chuckled, with a proud look on his face.
Then he said: "Brother Emperor, it's too empty here and it's too cold. If anything happens, let's go to the side hall and talk about it."
Ye Chen nodded, and then followed Ye Yan to the side hall.
Before passing through the reception hall, Ye Yan had already asked Mingyu to prepare a charcoal stove in the side hall in advance.
The two sat opposite each other, and Ye Chen was the first to speak: "Seventh brother, brother Huang is no longer polite to you. I have something to ask you for help."
"Brother Emperor, you're welcome. If you want me to do anything, just tell me directly. If I can help Brother Emperor, I will definitely help.
But I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, it will delay your important event, Brother Emperor. "Ye Yan said without thinking.
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Seventh brother, don't be humble. Brother Huang can see that your ability is no worse than mine."
After that, Ye Chen told Ye Yan what he wanted to do for help.
Generally speaking, as a novel from the perspective of the male protagonist, everything the male protagonist does will basically be described.
Ye Yan is like this when he writes novels, because this is the plot, who else can he write about if he doesn't write about the male protagonist.
But this was not a request for help in the plot of the novel. Ye Yan never expected that he would do it himself.
What's going on?
Although Ye Chen is not a prince, he is basically doing the things of a prince.
Among many things, he has an identity, that is, he is the nominal dean of Daqian Academy.
As the largest academy in the Daqian Dynasty, Daqian Academy is also a place where the royal children and the children of major aristocratic families study together. The identity of the dean is very important.
For example, in Chunwei, Daqian Academy handles the business.
Under normal circumstances, nothing will happen to Daqian Academy.
But two days ago, a poem called "Luo Shen Fu" appeared. In just one day, it caused a sensation in the entire imperial city, and countless readers rushed to read it.
Qingchen, the courtesan known as the Goddess of Luo, became famous all over the world overnight, and Huayuanfang was surrounded by water.
Everyone wants to see what the Luo Shen looks like, and whether it is like a goddess descending to earth, as said in "Ode to the Luo Shen".
Oiran Qingchen has become the most beautiful woman in the Daqian Dynasty because of her "Luo Shen Fu".
It is said that the number of drowning people in Luohe has increased dozens of times these days.
Ye Chen also read "Luo Shen Fu", and he was greatly admired by Liu Yong, who wrote "Luo Shen Fu".
So, the master of the academy made a request to him.
That is the first work of spring this year, and the academy wants to invite talented scholar Liu Yong to write it.
You know, the people who wrote the book in previous years were all famous talents, and most of them were the top picks in the previous term.
Before Liu Yong wrote "Luo Shen Fu", no one knew him.
After writing "Luo Shen Fu", he was able to receive such an honor at the request of the academy master.
It can be seen how high "Luo Shen Fu" has reached in the minds of the academy masters.
Ye Chen also felt that this method was feasible by asking Liu Yonglai to write the novel for the first time in spring.
But when he asked people to find Liu Yong, the talented man named Liu Yong disappeared.
Ye Chen was so busy all day that he didn't have time to find someone slowly.
In order to show that the royal family valued the scholars of the Daqian Dynasty, Ye Chen thought of asking Ye Yan to find them on his behalf.
After hearing what Ye Chen said, Ye Yan, who was Liu Yong himself, was also a little surprised.
He knew that "Luo Shen Fu" would definitely cause a sensation, but he did not expect that it would cause such a big sensation.
That day in Huayuanfang, when Miss Qingchen unfolded "Luo Shen Fu", it also caused quite a stir.
The man who claimed to be Jie Yuangong acted a little crazy on the spot. First he didn't believe that he had written it, and then he seemed to be greatly shocked and tore up the poem he had written.
All the scholars were also surprised, and their eyes widened.
After going to Miss Qingchen's room upstairs, he revealed his identity and proposed what he wanted to ask Miss Qingchen to do.
Miss Qingchen agreed without thinking, and volunteered to help him, inviting the sisters who were also in Huayuanfang to help Ye Yan.
This saved Ye Yan a lot of effort.
Now everything is ready.
So after he returned to the palace, he immediately started arranging the charity banquet.
This is why a charity banquet can be held in two days.
Ye Yan said seriously: "Brother Emperor, do your father and mother know about the affairs of the academy?"
"Father doesn't know about this yet, I don't dare to disturb him about such a trivial matter.
The queen mother knew about this. She was in the harem and had also heard the name Liu Yong. She was also very interested in Liu Yong. In front of me, she praised the poem "Luo Shen Fu" good. "
Ye Yan thought for a while and said: "Brother, you should also inform your father about this matter. The Spring Festival is the first important thing that I urgently need to do after the beginning of the Qian Dynasty. You can go to my father to discuss it." Also normal.
Brother Huang only needs to mention one sentence for the academy's spring work.
If the emperor agrees, then leave the matter of finding Liu Yong to me. I promise to find Liu Yong for you, brother. "
On the day he left Huayuanfang, Lin Yuanyu had already reminded him that he could not hide the fact that he was Liu Yong for a long time, and asked him to be prepared.
And his father Ye Yucheng will definitely know his identity immediately.
Personally speaking, he had no difficulty in writing the spring novel for Daqian Academy.
But he is a prince.
Then this is different.
To a certain extent, the Daqian Dynasty actually represented the cooperation between the royal family and the aristocratic families.
If a prince were to write the novel for the first time, it would be equivalent to taking away the power of an aristocratic family.
He didn't know what decision to make in this matter.
He has no good impression of the aristocratic family, even if this is the world of the novel he wrote.
Otherwise, he would not have had the idea of cheating the rich family's money from the beginning. He would be happy to disgust the rich family in this regard.
But he didn't know if this would cause any big trouble, mainly because he didn't know Ye Yucheng's attitude.
If he had Ye Yucheng's support, he would have nothing to worry about.
No matter how powerful the family is, the current Daqian Dynasty is still royal.
Besides, the royal family was originally the largest family in the Daqian Dynasty.
