Perhaps there were always accidents, and what came to the Long family's residence was no exception.
It had been a long time since a magpie chirped on the branch. Early in the morning, a magpie actually emerged from its hiding place and flew onto the branch that had been unfamiliar for a long time to report the good news to the Long family.
"Ping 'er's dad, old ghost, listen, listen, isn't it magpie chirping at our door?”Madame Long walked quickly to the courtyard and opened the door. She put her hand on the shade and looked around. However, the moment Madame Long opened the door, the magpie flew away.
"It's so early in the morning. It's quite strange." Madame Long muttered to herself.
However, she heard Long Zhanran shouting from inside the house," Boss, do you want to cook noodles or noodles?”
Madame Long was a little disappointed. With a sullen expression, she replied," What are you shouting for? What's there to show off? You scared away the magpies. You have a big throat, and it's all because of the noodles. You like to eat the noodles you make. The filling is oily and meaty…"
"You can come over and help me pack too. Can I do it alone?”
"I'll watch you wrap…"
"Are you looking at me or you?"
" Old ghost, do you think you're still an eighteen-year-old brother? Go take a look at yourself in the mirror. I'm afraid that when you were still tender and tender…I don't know what went wrong with my mind and ended up in a poor family…"
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder…"
"I thought that you would become a bank president after studying finance. After half a year, you only got a deputy mayor. How did I find a living treasure like you?!”
"Hehe, so many people are fighting for it…"
" Do you think you're the Jade Emperor? You're so rare…"
"Boss, if you had the time to speak, we would have already wrapped the noodles.”
"Then let's go. How many days can you eat the noodles you make?! If Ping 'er got married, she would definitely go to the Eastern Capital. This was what Miss Ye meant.”
"You're not going?"
"They're married and have a child. Old fart, you want to slack off again? Let me tell you, I really want Ping Er and Miss Ye…"
"…" Suddenly, the horn of a small car came from outside the courtyard.
Madame Long hurriedly walked out of the courtyard and stuck her head out to find out what was going on.
The Flying Cloud Leopard jumped down and walked quickly to Madame Long. It smiled and shouted,"
"Aunt, I'm here to report the good news." Flower Tanlang Gao Shouren said in a clear voice.
"Shouren, what's the good news? Quick, quick, come in and sit."
"It's a joyous occasion for the Gao family.”Gao Shouren followed Madame Long into the living room.
"Uncle, we've made it in time for the delicious noodles you made, hehe.”
"Shouren, you look so happy. Did you order the governor?”Long Zhanran teased.
"Uncle, the governor is not as happy as I said. Oh, isn't Younger Cousin Ping at home?"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone ran down from upstairs and said," Cousin, I stayed up late and slept late, so I overslept.”
"How long have you slept? Your eyes are still a little bloodshot.”Flower Tanhua Lang Gao Shouren said with concern.
"He went to bed at five o'clock. Look, it's only seven o'clock. Our Ping Er only slept for about two hours. "Oh, my dear Ping 'er…" Madame Long's heart ached a little.
"Auntie, you probably only slept for two hours, right?”
"The lights upstairs are on, so we can't sleep. If we don't dote on him, who will? We're not spoiling him, it's just that he's the only child in our Long family. Watch him closely and spoil him a little…"
"Aunt, this is reasonable. Little Ping was everyone's hope and pride.”
"Cousin, don't praise me. I don't think I'm that thick-skinned." Long Anping was busy pouring a cup of Maojian tea for his cousin, Gao Shouren.
"Shouren, tell me, what good news?”Madame Long was looking forward to it. Madame Long seemed to be looking forward to happy events every day, so that she could visit her relatives and visit them.
"Aunt, you're going to sweat!"
"Hehe, tell me, how much sweat do you need?”
"Do you know that our younger sister Mingxiu has been accepted as the Crown Princess!”
" Ha!..." Madame Long was so shocked that she could not close her mouth for a long time.
"Crown Princess? Oh my god! You've reached the heavens in one step!" Long Anping was also very surprised.
"Don't the four Crown Princes all have concubines? Isn't Mingxiu a beauty? How did she become the Crown Princess? Which crown prince's concubine is she?" Madame Long came back to her senses. This was indeed a joyous occasion. She vaguely felt that the Long family had become a royal family…
"It's a long story. Cousin, don't take it to heart. Let me put it simply. Mingxiu was made a concubine by the Second Prince Ning Qina. Because the second prince's original concubine was infertile, he had no choice but to make our younger sister his wife. The Second Prince was going to celebrate in the palace for a month!”
"Second Prince? Ning Qi?" Long Anping seemed to have misheard.
"Cousin, don't take it to heart. I'll tell you later.”The flower boy, Gao Shouren, took a sip of tea and said," Aunt, we don't have many relatives. This time, we have to go and join in the fun no matter what. We have to give Mingxiu some face.”
Madame Long beamed with joy and said in a bright voice," Shouren, we should sweat. We can't wait to go to the capital to take a look. We haven't been there in decades."”
"Boss, should we go?”Long Zhanran teased happily.
"You? Bring the noodles over first!" Madame Long seemed to be sitting upright on the stage as she shouted at Long Zhanran.
The four of them gathered together and ate the noodles with great interest. Bao Bao noodles were Long Zhanran's specialty. Otherwise, the flower man Gao Shouren wouldn't have rushed over so early.
"Uncle's noodles are really delicious!" Flower Tanlang Gao Shouren praised sincerely.
As it was a joyous occasion, Long Anping had many things to talk to his cousin, the flower man, Gao Shouren. Hence, after eating the noodles, Long Anping invited his cousin upstairs to the Dragon Song Pavilion.
The flower boy, Gao Shouren, sat down on the sofa. When he saw the newly published poem " Chu Kuang," he clicked his tongue in admiration as he looked at the exquisite illustrations. Long Anping switched on the amplifier box, and the soft music scattered throughout the Dragon Song Pavilion.
Long Anping brewed two cups of Maojian tea. He offered one cup to his cousin and placed the other cup in front of him.
"Make tea with cold water. Hmm, interesting. Cousin, I know that you have a block in your heart and feel that it is inappropriate for Cousin to marry Second Prince Ning Qi?”Flower Tanhua Lang Gao Shouren opened his mouth.
"The world is unpredictable. Wouldn't it be gratifying if she became the Fourth Crown Princess? I never liked the Second Prince. Fate is simply against me!"
"Cousin, Second Prince, Fourth Prince, one of them is definitely going to ascend the throne. Even if one of them became the rightful heir, the crown princes were still princes, so there would be no conflict of interest.”
"Cousin, why do you say that? In history, there were many incidents of brothers killing each other. When the Second Prince ascended the throne, he naturally deposed the Fourth Prince as a commoner.“
"Cousin, you think too much. You have to understand that in our Golden Roc Dynasty, the position of monarch is empty. The power of governance lies with the chief minister. The good or bad of the government is closely related to the chaos of the chief minister.”
"The corruption of the court has a lot to do with the Second Prince colluding with the chief minister.”
"Cousin, to rule the world, you need power. Only with power can you be powerful, and only with power can you establish prestige. Therefore, the prime minister had to establish his prestige first, and naturally, he had to pull the tiger skin as a big flag. The Second Prince was probably the heir appointed by the King. Of course, the chief minister had to be on good terms with the Second Prince. Only by borrowing power can one gain power."
"But that doesn't mean we can ruin the court."
"Cousin, the Golden Roc Dynasty's precarious situation today has a lot to do with the King's benevolent policy of letting things slide. The king thought that human nature was good, but he did not know that his unrestrained indulgence was like opening Pandora's box, and the demons hidden in human nature were coming out one after another. The current corruption was not the corruption of the imperial court, but the corruption of the human heart. If one was blindly good, a good person would become a demon. The key to governing the country lies in the management of officials. To govern officials, we should govern the hearts of the people and restrain human nature. The three had to supervise each other. With a complete supervision system and a supervision organization under the legal system, the people would be kind, the officials would not be greedy, and the government would be fair and square.”
"That makes sense. It's just that I don't really like the Second Prince.”
"You don't like him, but he still values you. Do you know, don't think that you can be released on bail just because you have 500,000 M? It was the Second Prince who read your Zhenxing Strategy and agreed to your bail. Things were not that simple. Life was sometimes against logic, hehe. It seemed abnormal, but it was also very normal.”
"It was him, the Second Prince, who nodded?”Long Anping said in disbelief.
"Cousin, you are too naive. You think that if we do as you say, everything will be peaceful, the wind will be gentle, and the river will be clear. It wasn't like that. After experiencing more life experiences, one would understand that the world was like chess.”
"Then I still owe the Second Prince a favor?”
"You're really a child. You should thank the heavens if you don't cause trouble for the Second Prince. As for whether the Second Prince or the Fourth Prince would inherit the throne, it was still unclear. It was also a cycle from chaos to order, and from order to chaos. A person's luck and fate determined the direction of a government. If the heavens chose the second prince as the heir and a chaotic situation occurred, it meant that he had encountered the arrangement of fate. If the heavens chose the fourth prince to ascend the throne and the government went from chaos to order, it also meant that this was the will of heaven. There was no need to force or exaggerate too much. Heaven's way was good, and every step was the will of heaven. If you had more experience, you wouldn't have looked at the Second Prince through colored glasses.”
"As for me, I'm probably more subjective and like to be stubborn.”
"Ah, cousin, if you don't be subjective for once, can you come with me to the Imperial Capital to meet the Second Prince?”
"Yes, cousin, I still have to consider this. After all, he and I are enemies. As the saying goes, different paths do not conspire with each other.”
Tanhua Lang, Gao Shouren, laughed." Completely scholarly, scholarly!”
"Hehe, right? Cousin…"
"We're happy today. Come, cousin, let's play two rounds of Go. How long has it been since we last played chess?”
"Oh, right, how could I forget? Alright, let's brothers play two rounds!”Long Anping hurriedly found the Go piece and quickly said," You're not allowed to go back!”
"Ha, cousin, do you think I'm a lousy chess player?”
"The standard is not high, but the quality is good!”
"Tsk, go to hell. Our Gong Zi is number one in the world, who has ever won?”
" The person who will beat you is right in front of you. Hehe, I will beat you today…"

The past two days had been fulfilling and practical.
Long Anping was in a much better mood. Madame Long and Long Zhanran were discussing the necessary gifts that they needed to buy to enter the capital. At least the Long family's gifts had to be presentable. Although they were from a family far away, they couldn't let others see that they were small. Madame Long was really worried about this.
Long Anping picked the best piece of the printed "Chu Kuang" poem and put it in an envelope. As for the rest that needed to be sent, they were put into the envelopes one by one. In addition, poetry reports that did not need to be put in envelopes had to be sent to literary friends by mail.
Long Anping put the letter into his briefcase, hummed a song, and walked briskly to the post office.
When they arrived at the post office, Long Anping took out the mail and kissed the first mail with the familiar name. He almost muttered to himself," Princess Di, when you see this poem, do you also see my longing?”
After the mail was delivered, Long Anping went to the homes of a few literary friends with great interest. He thought about the future of Tai Bai, Du Fu, and Li Qingzhao with them, as if they had returned to that romantic era.
In the evening, Long Anping, who had met his literary friends and poets, returned to the Long family's house under Phoenix Mountain with the literary publication Elegance in the Bamboo Forest in his hand.
When they got closer, Long Anping said happily,"
"Mom, I'm back…"
Three black cars were parked on the lawn of the Long family's residence. There were a few extremely serious people standing beside the car. This scene was clearly imprinted in Long Anping's temporarily blank mind, and it lingered in his mind for a long time.
Long Anping slowed down his pace. Every step he took was extremely strenuous. He finally saw the faces of those people. There was one person that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
The person standing in front of the carriage was clearly Hua Xiuming, the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard's Embroidered Uniform Guard Division. Beside him stood several colleagues who were on standby at any time. Using the word awe-inspiring might not be an exaggeration.
There was no confrontation, let alone resistance. His stern face and deep and powerful voice made Long Anping shiver uncontrollably.
Long Anping heard a few familiar words:
Long Anping, you are under arrest!
