The Flower in the Mirror and the Moon in the Water finally get married

On July [-]th of the third year of Chengguang, Empress Xia Chenhuan gave birth to a baby boy safely.The emperor was overjoyed, and announced it to the world, amnesty the world, and celebrated with the whole country.

When the second son of the emperor was full moon, the Supreme Emperor Xiao Chuyi gave him the name Xiao Chen.Although the name of Xiao Qi, the eldest son of the emperor, has the same meaning of beautiful jade, it is more restrained and deep, hiding everyone's expectations for him.

Xiao Chen was the only male prince of the emperor at that time, and he was also the direct son of the empress. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty seemed to have regarded him as the best candidate for the crown prince.

Facts have proved that their prediction is correct, although there are three emperor uncles with extraordinary qualifications.There are dragon and phoenix twins born by the queen in the eighth year of Chengguang, the third son Xiao Yu, and the fourth princess Xiao Ying.But Xiao Chen is indeed the best candidate for the throne.

First of all, Xu Shi was devotedly cultivated by Xiao Haoxuan since he was a child, and Xiao Chen is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts.After reading hundreds of books, he is unparalleled in mind, clever in means, and has a clear heart for the people.

Secondly, he is neither favored by everyone like the eldest son of the emperor, nor favored by the youngest like the third son of the emperor and the fourth princess.Xiao Haoxuan and Xia Chenhuan gave Xiao Chen a lot of love, but no matter how the parents treat them equally, the child is still extremely sensitive to the surrounding environment.

Since childhood, everyone respected Xiao Chen more than they loved him, and their expectations were greater than their admiration.

I don't know if this is the case, but Xiao Chen is extremely precocious.When Xiao Qi was so cute and cute that people couldn't take their eyes off, and when Xiao Yu and Xiao Ying were acting coquettish and naive, he was able to sit quietly by the side.He looked at everything without arguing or grabbing, and immediately drew a flawless smile when he met the eyes of others.

The older Xiao Chen grew up, the more he looked like his father, calm and calm, never changing his face.But what is different from Xiao Haoxuan is that Xiao Chen is very gentle on the surface, he is elegant and magnanimous, and always has a faint smile on his face when talking with people.

But if you think he is weak and deceitful, you are very wrong.Xiao Chen has deep thoughts and extraordinary methods, and he is decisive and ruthless when dealing with political affairs.A pair of black eyes seemed gentle and harmless, but the reality was so complicated that few people could see through it.

Even Xiao Haoxuan had to admit that his son did possess all the qualities a wise gentleman should have.Smart enough, calm enough, ruthless enough, no matter to yourself or others.

Therefore, at Xiao Chen's 20-year-old coronation ceremony, Xiao Haoxuan issued an imperial edict to appoint the second son of the emperor as the crown prince.

The emperor reckoned that when the prince was 23 or 24 years old, he would also be able to retire and let Xiao Chen ascend the throne at the same age as himself.On the other hand, he took his lover to travel around the world. After all, he has been the emperor for [-] years, and that is enough.

Xiao Chen still lived in the Prince's Mansion after he was canonized as the Crown Prince, but changed it to the Prince's Mansion just like his father, it was the last freedom before he ascended the throne.

In the middle of the night, a Mr. Pianpian was sitting in front of the window, discussing policies in one hand and drinking tea in the other.This person has sword eyebrows and star eyes, full forehead, thin lips slightly pursed, and the jade tree faces the wind, very handsome.He looks gentle and generous, but when he raises his eyebrows when he reads disapproving remarks, he is very fierce in an instant.

He is wearing a red robe with a coiled collar and narrow sleeves. There is a gold-woven coiled dragon on the front, back and shoulders, which is a configuration only for princes.

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea, turned the book to the next page, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.He squinted, put down the book and looked towards the palace door.

The next moment, a man in green shirt suddenly pushed open the palace door and rushed in.The plain clothes are embroidered with four-shaped mountains, the edge of the clothes is decorated with cloud patterns, and there is a golden dragon on the front and back. It is the prince's regular clothes.

Even the blue heavy clothes couldn't hide the man's stunning appearance.White skin and red lips, high forehead and straight nose, exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, especially a pair of green eyes that are more beautiful than agate jade.He perfectly combined the advantages of his father and mother's appearance, he was both heroic and beautiful, and the fusion of two completely different temperaments was really alluring.

Regardless of whether men or women see Xiao Qi, they will definitely not be able to move their eyes away, but Xiao Chen is extremely calm, and he is not surprised by the other party's late-night surprise visit.It stands to reason that his current status is higher than that of Prince Xiao Qi, but Xiao Chen still stood up and bowed his hands, as a brotherly gift, "Brother Huang."

Xiao Qi's eyes were flushed, he clenched his hands into fists, he didn't even feel his nails digging into his flesh, he just stared at Xiao Chen, as if he wanted to eat someone.

Xiao Chen's eyes darkened, compared to the seat beside him, he said in a deep voice without changing his face, "Brother Emperor, please sit down, I don't know why you came here late at night?"

Xiao Qi was still motionless, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, he gritted his teeth and was speechless.

Don't you know why?

Seeing this, Xiao Chen sat down by himself, looked at the courtyard outside the window and said nothing.

After a while, Xiao Qi finally spoke in a hoarse voice, unable to hide his pain, "Do you really want to marry a concubine?"

Xiao Chen said "Yes" expressionlessly, and said indifferently, "I have already passed the age for marrying a wife, and now I am in charge of the East Palace, so I should establish a concubine to strengthen the foundation of the country."

After Xiao Chen canonized the crown prince, he asked Xia Chenhuan to choose the candidate for the crown prince from among the women of the aristocratic family.He didn't have a favorite person, so Xia Chenhuan could only consider his temperament, intelligence, and appearance, and finally chose the granddaughter of Gao Peichun, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Xia Chenhuan asked Xiao Chen's opinion when entering the palace today, and he immediately agreed without saying a word.Eighty percent of this marriage has already been finalized.

Xiao Qi's green eyes dimmed for a moment, and his heart ached like twisting.Almost begging, he asked tremblingly, "What about me?"

Xiao Chen looked at him, his black eyes were unclear, "Emperor Brother should also get married. It is not filial for me to marry before my elder brother. If you are willing to let the queen mother choose a good family to marry earlier, my marriage date can be arranged in the first place." After the emperor."

Women and children should get married at the age of 16.There was an endless stream of people asking for marriage, but Xiao Qi was about to turn 24, but he didn't even make a marriage contract.Xia Chenhuan hoped that he would marry the person he liked, even though she didn't force him, she couldn't help but feel anxious, and she tried to lead him many times without success.

Xiao Qi was suffocated for a moment, unable to breathe due to the heartache, the man's words pierced his heart like a sharp knife.The beautiful face was a little distorted, and the words were full of despair, which made the hearts of those who heard it tremble, "You...you really don't like me at all, don't you care?"

It was an unholy and shocking statement!

But Xiao Chen acted as if he didn't hear it, and looked into his green eyes after a while.He spoke in a cold voice, did not answer the other party's question, but sent Xiao Qi into hell.

"Even if I abandon the Six Palaces like my father and grandfather, and only favor the queen, that person can never be you." The man said indifferently, "We are brothers, brothers of the same father and mother."

In the past three years, Xiao Chen and Xiao Qi said the most words, "We are brothers."

Xiao Qi is naturally very clear, but he still can't control himself, can't control his heart.

When Xiao Chen was still in Xia Chenhuan's stomach, Xiao Qi liked this younger brother very much, and he was finally no longer the youngest.Although Haojun and Haoyuan are not much older than him, they are not of the same generation.And Xiao Chen is his younger brother by blood, Xiao Qi is looking forward to and happy.

After Xiao Chen was born, Xiao Qi wanted to stick to the baby for twelve hours a day.He couldn't take his eyes off his soft and cute younger brother, completely forgetting that he was actually still a baby.

The baby is also very close to Xiao Qi, and every time he sees him, he babbles happily.The little hand holding Xiao Qi's fingers refused to let go, making Xiao Qi's heart melt.

Xiao Chen grows up day by day, he can call him "brother", and likes to run behind his ass.Children are sensitive, and Xiao Qi is extremely smart, realizing that everyone loves her more than her younger brother, so she loves Xiao Chen even more.

Xiao Qi originally thought that the two of them would continue like this forever.But I don't know when Xiao Chen became more and more quiet and introverted, his emotions and anger were invisible, and he always wore a faint smile.Don't call him "Brother" anymore, just "Brother Huang", always keep the etiquette, advance and retreat properly.

The two seemed to be gradually estranged, but Xiao Chen unconsciously showed concern.

"Brother Huang, let's rest early. Although it is good to study hard, the harm to your eyes is not worth the loss."

"Brother Huang, be careful in the future. If you learn martial arts and leave scars, you will not be able to marry."

"Brother Huang, eat quickly, I brought back your favorite peach cake from Qingyun Tower."

"Brother..."

Xiao Chen treated him like a harmonious brother, but Xiao Qi gradually developed a strange feeling for his younger brother, and couldn't take his eyes off the more mature and stable man.

Xiao Chen is very much like his father, no one in his generation is better than him.Even Xiao Sichu, Xiao Nianyi and Xiao Haoyuan couldn't compare.

It's not just talent, he has a kingly air in his bones, and he has the ambition and ruthlessness of the three emperor uncles who are slightly lacking.

Xiao Chen's high-spirited and unconcealable appearance made Xiao Qi's uncontrollable heart beat faster.He seems to understand, but also doesn't seem to understand what his feelings for Xiao Chen are.

Until Xiao Chen was 14 years old, he was named king and built a mansion, and when he was 17 years old, he led troops to quell the border war between the Southern Kingdom and Dayan.

At that time, the emperor of the Southern Kingdom died suddenly, and the new emperor was young.The general who protects the country coerces the emperor to order the princes. He has long been dissatisfied with the fact that the southern country has been attached to Dayan for decades, and immediately sent troops to attack after taking power.

Xiao Haoxuan sent the main general of the Tianwu Army to lead the army, and Xiao Chen was the deputy general to fight.

Xiao Chen's martial arts were taught by Bai Chen and Xiao Chuye himself, which is naturally extraordinary.In addition, he studied the art of war carefully on weekdays, and although it was the first time he personally led troops into battle, he was not stage-frightened and achieved outstanding results.

Xiao Chen is a novice after all, so he was inevitably injured.The injury was not serious, and the sword in his left arm was not life-threatening.

The moment Xiao Qi saw the flying pigeon passing the letter, his eyes widened and he couldn't breathe.He didn't care about other things, and immediately traveled day and night, rushing to the border without sleep.One horse ran to death and another was replaced, and finally arrived at the Tianwu army camp nine days later.

When Xiao Qi rushed into the tent, only Xiao Chen was looking at the marching map at the table.The man lost his usual handsome appearance, with bandages on his arms and unscarred scars on his face, only his black eyes were dark and sharp as before.

Xiao Chen was not too surprised when he got the news of Xia Chenhuan, but he was stunned for a moment.

This was the first time Xiao Qi cried in front of him, her eyes were red, she couldn't cry, she stared at him, as if she was afraid that he would disappear.

Xiao Chen lowered his eyes for a moment, raised his head and smiled slightly, stepped forward and patted Xiao Qi's shoulder with his uninjured right hand, "Brother Huang, I'm fine, don't cry."

Xiao Qi couldn't stop anymore, he held Xiao Chen's skirt tightly, put his head on the man's shoulder and burst into tears.The other party patted him and let him vent.

After an unknown amount of time, the sniffling gradually subsided.Xiao Qi looked directly at Xiao Chen with red eyes, and told what he had finally figured out along the way, why he kept crying.

"Chen'er, I like you, just like my mother likes my father."

Xiao Chen's pupils dilated in an instant, and the black eyes were dark and turbulent, and the waves were rolling, and thousands of emotions were contained in them.The next moment turned into silence again, and he said calmly, "Brother Huang, we are brothers, brothers of the same father and mother."

Although Xiao Qi is gentle, he is arrogant. How could the eldest son of Emperor Yan, who grew up like a moon surrounded by stars, not be arrogant.He was even rebellious, that's why he dared to show love to Xiao Chen, but he still couldn't let go when he was rejected.

This is the second time Xiao Qi cried in front of Xiao Chen.He was completely shattered by the man's words, crying uncontrollably, heartbroken.His right hand was tightly grasping his chest, already grasping the flesh, as if he wanted to stop the extremely painful heart.

Xiao Qi slid slowly to sit on the ground, screaming mournfully, his bones were broken and he stood in mourning.

The beauty was crying so sadly, it was a man whose heart was broken, and he must hold her in his arms to comfort her.However, Xiao Chen stared at Xiao Qi with dark eyes, motionless, his fists hidden behind his back were bulging.

His brain told him to stand on the sidelines, but his legs walked uncontrollably in front of Xiao Qi and knelt down on one knee.

Xiao Qi looked up at him, stubbornly trying to stop crying.Only Xiao Chen's appearance was reflected in the misty blue eyes, full of grief, despair and love.

Xiao Chen raised his hand to wipe Xiao Qi's tears away, and finally his face was no longer composed, but sad.

He opened his mouth and said, "Brother..."

The black eyes were deep and complicated, and there were many emotions mixed in them.

If it wasn't for the clear sound in the silent night, Xiao Qi would have almost thought it was an auditory hallucination.Xiao Chen hasn't called him brother for more than ten years.

There was a gleam of light in the blue eyes, this was Xiao Qi's last fight.If the other party still wants to push him away, he will not bother Xiao Chen anymore.

"I like you, Chen'er, I like you so much that I'm going crazy..." He said in a hoarse voice, and tremblingly pressed his lips against the man's thin lips, almost suffocating.

The lips that met were cold, and Xiao Chen remained motionless.

At the moment when Xiao Qi was about to fall into hell, the man suddenly wrapped his arms around his waist, tightly hugged him into his arms, sucked and bit his lips fiercely.In just a split second, Xiao Chen had already opened his jaw, and darted into his mouth.

Xiao Qi's pupils dilated in disbelief, and after a moment of stupefaction, he kissed the man back awkwardly, deepening the kiss like a sacrificial offering.The tears that had just stopped flowed down again.

This is the first kiss between the two.Hot and violent, with desperate desperation.

Xiao Chen almost swallowed the person in his arms and melted into his flesh and blood.

He knew he was crazy, too, hopelessly insane long ago.

"elder brother……"
