Bastards

The prince is still in the court, and the whole field is shocked. The uproar spread from the court to the people. People all over the world are waiting eagerly, wondering what kind of character this prince is, whether he is handsome, handsome or not, why he has been away for so many years... …

Many people thought that it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. It turned out that the Tian family, like ordinary people like them, was looking forward to the reunion.The curious people of Luoyang walked around the gate of the city almost every day to see if the prince was back today.

But five days after the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the officers and soldiers took the lead and called the Quartet. The prince's car is coming, and he will enter the city around tomorrow.

Perhaps the journey was not smooth and delayed.

This kind of thing is very common, due to seasonal weather and road conditions, it is inevitable for pedestrians to encounter one or two accidents on the way. When they are unlucky, the more anxious they are, the more anxious they are looking forward to going home for the holidays, the more delays will be caused by various things... The people expressed their understanding.

Although it was a few days late, everyone's enthusiasm remained undiminished. In the early morning of August 21, some people stood on the street early, waiting to see the prince's demeanor.Soon, all teahouses and inns facing the street were fully booked, and there was no vacant seat. All kinds of burden hawkers shuttled among the crowd, and the atmosphere in Luoyang City was cheerful like New Year's Eve.

Of course Cui Mata was also one of them.

He received the news early, why Yang Xuan's journey was so fast and so slow, he was very clear, it was nothing more than the one above... Cheap dad didn't want to spend the holidays with this son.As for the exact return date, he had already received it, and he even asked people to book a box in the teahouse facing the street in advance. The price was cheap and he could choose the location, which was very calm.

While drinking tea, he paid attention to the time, and soon, the end of time came.

With the indistinct sound of Qingming ceremony and music, the street suddenly fell silent, everyone raised their heads on tiptoes, and looked straight at the direction of the city gate, for fear of missing something!

First, there are various flags and banners, painted with auspicious birds, spirits, beasts, phoenixes, phoenixes, cranes, peacocks, wandering lins, colorful lions, white lakes, and deer...the most obvious of which is the tallest and largest five-color silk golden dragon flag, That is something that only the emperor and the prince can have, and it represents the most honorable status!

Thirty or forty flags and streamers are divided into two rows, leaving a space in the middle. The two rows of thirty bright yellow crank canopies alternate, and sixty fans are held. The colors are different in gold, red and yellow, and the patterns are different.

There are lying melons, standing melons, imperial battles, red stirrups, drums, flutes, copper horns... and many objects that the common people can't name, but the piles are all radiant and gorgeous!

"My dear mother... this is our Prince Da'an! It's different when you walk around!"

"Not so bad? Look at those things, they are only a little less than the emperor's. Which dragon son can ration them? Of course the prince is different!"

"The emperor hasn't left Beijing for several years. I haven't seen such a guard of honor for so many years... Let's learn more!"

"Don't make noise! ​​The prince's luan car hasn't come out yet, so get excited!"

"Don't get excited, can the prince's car be called a luan car? The princess's is called a car!"

……

Following the discussions among the common people, the guard of honor was finally over, and the crown prince appeared in front of everyone on a jade 辂.

The whole body is made of good wood, and it is filled with white and heavy jade, which is as stable as Mount Tai.There are four whip holders, four sword holders, and two yellow umbrella holders with crank handles, lined up on both sides to protect each other.

Because it is summer and autumn, the weather is neither cold nor hot, and the surroundings of the jade are not sealed, and the light gauze is used to separate the wind. The crown prince himself in the seat.

The prince sat upright, with a flat back and straight back, strong shoulders and arms, obviously well-trained and used to it, and his etiquette and posture were impeccable.

The prince is also very handsome, his Adam's apple outlines the majestic aura of a mature man, his lower jaw shows the aura of a superior, his lips are tightly pursed, which shows his inner toughness... and his nose is like a gall, thick sword eyebrows are slanted into the temples, and his eyes are shaped like a phoenix. Lines have their own majesty.

Although this crown prince showed his face for the first time in front of people, even though everyone was not familiar with him before, he is the man appointed by God and the future monarch!

The common people have always sincerely worshiped and admired the Son of Heaven. With this kind of mood, the prince naturally gave them a deeper feeling.He is as majestic as rivers and rivers, Huanghuang as the sun and the moon; he is handsome, tough, majestic; he will shoulder the responsibility of the country, for the safety of the world, for the sake of the people, he will be the belief in everyone's heart, and lead everyone to live a good life!

I don't know who was the first to kneel down and shout reverently: "The prince is a thousand years old!"

If there is the first one, there will be the second one, and then countless people kneel down like a wave, calling themselves princes.

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

The momentum is so great that it can almost shake the world and deafen the ears!

"How can you not be tempted? This crown prince...how can you not be tempted!"

Cui Yu sat in front of the window and looked at the kneeling people below, his eyes flickered, and he muttered to himself.This is the power of the people, the power of faith, and the power of orthodoxy!The crown prince and crown prince will always be special in the hearts of the people, with the support of thousands of people... How can this position not be tempting?

Even he, a bystander, couldn't help sighing, how could the princes who had the opportunity to touch the dragon chair not desire it?

As long as Yang Xuan sits on this jade chair, he will be their enemy!

……

Yang Xuan also felt deeply in his heart, this prince has always brought him pain and pressure, he even hated him when he was a child, why let him be the prince.But at this moment, so many people kneel down and support him sincerely... These people have never even seen him, and they don't know who he is!

Inexplicably, an unprecedented sense of responsibility arises spontaneously. Yang Xuan feels that the people are too stupid and simple. He can't let a bastard like King Yue sit in that position to deceive them and enslave them...never!

It was only at this time that Yang Xuan became more clear about what this country, this world, really meant...

The people were very excited, so Yang Xuan no longer kept a straight face, and would occasionally sneer outside.

Seeing that the prince was not angry, but still greeted them, the people became more excited, kneeling harder, and speaking louder, especially when Yu Ren passed by.

If you are too excited, you will be prone to accidents. When Prince Yuren passed by a place with a lot of people, someone didn’t know who was holding the doll tightly. The crowd pushed and squeezed, and it flew out!

Yang Xuan frowned, and immediately flew over to catch the child in the air.

The scene was completely silent, and the people were all shocked!

Yang Xuan handed the child over: "Be careful."

The doll was only two or three years old, white and fat like a dumpling, she was not afraid of such an adventure, and smiled foolishly while chewing her fingers.

The child's parents took the child with trembling hands, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Prince!"

The common people's eyes were bright, and they were in an uproar. It turned out that the prince is so close to the people and kind!Spontaneously and consciously again, Lang Chao knelt down, and Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose shouted hoarsely.

Yang Xuan glanced at the growing crowd of people, frowning slightly, he didn't get on the jade scorpion, pulled the horse in front, and jumped on it, looking like he was going to enter the palace like this!

The officials of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came to persuade: "Your Highness, this is not in accordance with etiquette..."

"Guzhi, but etiquette is more important, or the people are more important?" Yang Xuan's voice was not too loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear, "Gu would rather be judged by officials than see people being punished for entering the city alone." Any harm!"

After all, he stopped paying attention to anyone who tried to dissuade him, clamped his legs, rode lightly into battle, and drove forward quickly!

The prince's first appearance was quite self-willed, the opening was gorgeous, the thrill was too much, and at the end, it was like a streamer, deeply imprinted in people's eyes!

Of course, if there are good things to say about this behavior, there must be bad things to say about it. In the end, whether the result will be more beneficial or more harmful, no one knows...

Cui Yu looked at Yang Xuan's back, the corners of his lips slightly raised, this brat is really good at making trouble.

There is no way, the person I choose will help even if I cry.

"Mu Tong. You come..."

The prince had been away for a long time, but the crowd on the street still hadn't dispersed, talking about what happened just now with great interest.

The prince's prestige, the prince's style, the prince's behavior...

Soon, more people joined, and there was the knowledgeable one who mentioned the incident four years ago. The prince not only loved the people like a son, but also had a lot of knowledge.There are also nursery rhymes from the past...everything can be proved, the emperor's aptitude is excellent, he must be the future enlightened lord, I, Da'an, want to dominate!

Slowly, some people came to their senses again, but such a good prince, why did he return to court today?There are several princes under the emperor's knees, why didn't anyone come to pick him up today?Although the crown prince is not the eldest son of the emperor, he is the only son of the eldest son, and his status is different. It stands to reason that his brothers should welcome him when he comes back today.

Immediately, someone gave him popular science, Yang's way of overthrowing Yuwen's in the early years, and the harem's fight for favor, the bastard was loved by the emperor...

In the end, everyone felt sorry for the prince's experience, and even thought that the prince had deliberately pretended to be like this today, and gradually changed their views.

"Heaven will send a great mission to this servant, do you have to make him suffer first... We are in peace, it is a blessing to have a prince!"

……

It was lively outside, and the palace didn't care about it at all, so Concubine Tian Gui summoned her son, King Yue, to inquire about the situation.

The King of Yue sent someone to watch outside, and someone reported back every quarter of an hour. He was very upset when he heard the latest news, and told her angrily: "... I didn't see it, but he is good at acting and martial arts. !"

Concubine Tian Gui frowned slightly: "It's not surprising that he knows martial arts... the great eunuch Shi Fu beside him used to accompany the late emperor on the battlefield."

The king of Yue still had a glint in his eyes, and he was very unwilling: "Our people went to test, and the news came back said that he is a fool, now...huh!"

"It's not in a hurry. Can you tell if you're really stupefied or not in the first trial?" Concubine Tian Gui glanced at him lazily, "Are you ready for your business?"

The king of Yue understood that his mother and concubine were reminding him, took a deep breath twice to suppress his anger, and quickly calmed down: "Mother and concubine, don't worry, my son and minister have let go of everything, the case of the crown prince... will not be tried, if he dares If you press it, others will dare to make a fuss.”

"That's good." Concubine Tian propped her forehead with her fingers, "You go, remember to welcome the prince well later, I will prepare a palace banquet later."

King Yue frowned: "When he comes back, the concubine is exhausted. Anyway, the emperor doesn't want to see him, the concubine is not as good as..."

"Others can do poorly, but I, the most sensible and caring person, can't..." Concubine Tian Gui smiled and waved her hands, "Okay, you can just take care of your own affairs, I don't need to worry about it here .”

……

With the hard work of the world, Yang Xuan has long passed the age of longing for family care, and he is mentally prepared for what will happen when he enters the palace, but he is still stunned when he learns that the emperor has not seen him.

His father really has a heart of stone. This is clearly giving him power, telling everyone that although the prince is called back to the palace, the emperor still doesn't like the prince and doesn't want to give him any face!

"It's really a coincidence that when the order was issued to call you back to the palace, the emperor was looking forward to it. He repeatedly told the imperial concubine and empress to treat you well and make you feel the warmth of home... Who knows that because I miss you so much, the emperor's spleen and stomach are not in harmony. , got wind again, fell ill, and the imperial physicians tried their best to persuade father, so that the emperor gave up his desire to hold a banquet."

Looking at King Yue's smiling face, Yang Xuan felt a little nauseous. Is this showing off his biological mother's favor, or is it a sign that he should apologize earlier?It is unfilial to be a son, but tired and sick of his father!

He counterattacked calmly: "You have served the emperor's knees all year round, and you are the most favored. Now that the emperor is ill, you are laughing. Why?" If you say I am unfilial, you will be even more unfilial!

Compared with sophistry and sophistry, who can compare with Cui Yu?He didn't follow Cui Yu for a day or two, and he naturally had some skills.

King Yue choked: "Isn't this just to welcome you! It's also a good thing that my father's illness is not serious, otherwise this king would have gone to serve the decoction long ago, how could he be here?"

Following the current situation, Yang Xuan said with a serious expression: "Whether the banquet is held or not is a trivial matter. Gu came back from Chang'an and didn't care about it. It's just that Gu has never done his filial piety in front of the emperor. This time it is time to—"

"Father is sorry for your hard work, and he gave you an edict a long time ago," Yue Wang hurriedly stopped, "To avoid getting sick, I ask you not to pay homage to you for a few days." Worried that Yang Xuan would be disobedient, he still emphasized He exhorted, "Father and emperor love his son very much. If you obey the order, it is the greatest filial piety."

Yang Xuan was embarrassed, and then said: "In this case... I will wait for my father to recover from his illness, and then go see him."

"Father, the court affairs are important. Don't be worried that he will miss the official business. Now that the Peng Chuanyi case has been handed over to you, you can take a rest tomorrow and go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to open the court the next day." Arguing with Yang Xuan was very boring, so I just finished what I had to say, "Today, the king is here alone to welcome you, and it's because the younger brothers are very worried about your father's illness and don't have time to come. You are a prince, so don't worry about it. The queen mother and concubine have already arranged an elaborate palace banquet, and the emperor will relax later, and all the brothers will come to clean up the dust for you."

"As for the residence—" At this point, King Yue's eyes flickered, "The East Palace has been in disrepair for a long time, and it has been in a state of fire this year, so it's not appropriate to move rashly. Father has no choice but to choose another palace to be with you."

Yang Xuan looked at King Yue, and suddenly smiled: "It's okay. The one who can live in the East Palace must be the crown prince, but the crown prince doesn't have to live in the East Palace."

King Yue felt that this smile was quite meaningful, as if he was laughing at him!

That’s right, the meaning of the East Palace is unusual, the prince cannot live there, but the prince does not necessarily have to live in the East Palace, as long as there is a clear decree, a purple gold seal, the royal family, courtiers, and the world recognizes him, he is the prince, and he does not live in the East Palace. Prince!

Just like these years, far away, he will always be the prince who is on the head of King Yue!

The words were not speculative, and Yue Wang was lazy to talk to Yang Xuan again. After the bank made it clear, he threw up his sleeves and left, and asked the eunuch below to take him to the bedroom.

Cui Yu was not angry either, he was not unfamiliar with the environment in the palace because of the various news in his hands, and he had Shi Fu by his side, so he could handle everything well.

It's just... It's just that in Luoyang, the closer he gets, the more he misses Cui Yu!

This kind of strong longing had rushed into his heart before he entered Luoyang City. He had to suppress it because he had more important things to do at that time. Now that he was alone and no one disturbed him, he couldn't suppress it...

At night, after eating and bathing, and lying alone on the big bed, this emotion became even stronger.

All these things, happiness, dissatisfaction, anger, anxiety... all kinds of emotions, all kinds of experiences, he wants to share with Cui Yu!

Moreover, Cui Yu never replied to the previous letter. In these days, he never received Cui Yu's handwritten letter, not even a single word.

He was a little apprehensive and worried, but Cui Yu once said that when he returned to Luoyang, something good was waiting for him...

Yang Xuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time, and finally made a decision, he should stop being so hesitant and torment himself, he would go to Cui Yu to explain it clearly!He bounced off the bed, put on his night clothes, quietly bypassed the guards of the Royal Palace Guards, and flew towards the inn!

……

Cui Yu was finishing his shower, lazily grabbed a book and sat by the window, reading it while drying his hair.

When he was embraced by a familiar embrace, he was very surprised: "You...why are you here?"

These days are not those days of hiding. The prince's words and deeds have a great influence. What if he is caught doing such nonsense?

Cui Yu frowned, and was about to remind him in a deep voice when he tilted his head and bumped into Yang Xuan's eyes, and he froze suddenly.

Those eyes are as deep and dark as the black sky, always hiding thousands of mountains and rivers, never opening easily, for people to see the bottom, he is very familiar with it.But tonight, those eyes were too straightforward, joy, worry, uneasiness, sadness, begging...all kinds of emotions rubbed together and spread in front of him one by one.

"I miss you."

Yang Xuan hugged him tightly, her arms seemed to be shaking: "I miss you...I can't think about it."

Cui Mata pushed him: "You're like this—"

"No," Yang Xuan continued Cui Yu's second sentence, "I know, I understand, but I can't help it."

Cui Mata was taken aback.

Yang Xuan made enough mental preparations, let go of her arms a little, and stared closely at Cui Yu's eyes: "That letter...are you angry?"

That love letter.

Originally, Cui Yu was in a good mood after reading this letter, but after meeting Princess Fu'an, he was in a bad mood. When he mentioned this letter, he thought of Princess Fu'an.

The pimple in my heart has not been healed, and of course I will not be too happy emotionally, Cui Yu lowered her eyes: "Since you guessed it..."

Yang Xuan's pupils shrank, his arms tightened again, and he hugged Cui Yu fiercely: "I won't let you go even if you're angry!"

He was like a little wolf dog who was stimulated, he held Cui Yu tightly in his arms, ferociously, and licked Cui Yu's lips!

He seemed to be depressed, angry, worried and frightened to the extreme, he had to do this to give himself some confidence, his actions were aggressive and rude, he bit and bit, and he wanted to swallow Cui Yu whole.

"Don't... um..."

As soon as Cui Yu was about to speak, Yang Xuan took the opportunity to attack inside, wrapped the tip of his tongue, and ruthlessly attacked the city and plundered the land.

This is a long-lost kiss, eager, a kiss to prove something, menacing, not so comfortable and pleasant.Yang Xuan is also a novice, so when he is impatient, he will inevitably forget the previous experience, and even bumped his teeth twice.

Cui Yu frowned, and pushed Yang Xuan hard, but he didn't push him away. Yang Xuan's strength and mood were very firm this time, and he was not allowed to refuse!

Yang Xuan hugged Cui Yu even tighter, as if wanting to strangle him into his flesh and blood, for a long time, a contented sigh came out of his throat.

This is the person... This is the feeling... I will never let go even if I die!

"Cui Yu...Cui Yu..." Yang Xuan repeated the name over and over again, becoming more and more emotional and unbearable. His heartbeat was chaotic, his breathing was chaotic, and his desire was gushing out, causing pain. It hurts.

"I'm thirsty for you..." He couldn't help holding Cui Yu's hand, leading him to lean down on him, "I'm thirsty for you..."

As soon as Cui Yu touched the hot and hard object, he immediately retracted his hand, and pushed Yang Xuan hard with a blushing face: "Go away... go away!"

"Feel it for me, just touch it... okay?" Yang Xuan tightly grabbed his hand, not letting go.

Cui Yu was really angry, and shouted his name angrily: "Yang—Xuan!"

Yang Xuan was startled, and let go of Cui Yu's hand, but still refused to let go of his body, and held him tightly in his arms again: "You won't be angry about what I do... what do you think of me... ...can you tell me?"

Cui Mata was taken aback.

"I like you, I want you, I want you to sleep next to me, I want you to belong to me... I dream every night, every night, I'm fucking crazy!" Yang Xuan's voice trembled, "I won't let go You, never, even if you are angry or unhappy, I will not let you go, if you want to run away, I will catch you and bring you back to the ends of the earth!"

Cui Yu put his hand on Yang Xuan's back lightly, and his voice was also very soft: "These words...why didn't you say it before?"

Yang Xuan was very nervous and didn't notice Cui Yu's movements. Because he kept hugging him, he couldn't see Cui Yu's expression, and his voice was still trembling: "I'm scared."

"You are wholeheartedly planning for me, you are sincerely planning for me, I know, I can feel it. But in you... there is always a kind of alienation and calmness that can withdraw at any time, I am afraid that you will leave." Yang Xuan couldn't help but retracted his arms Tighter, "You blame me for not believing you, how could I not believe you? You are so smart, so good, who in this world can hurt you, and who can bear to hurt you? I believe in your ability, but I can't be sure of your feelings. one……"

His throat was choked: "What if one day, you think that your death will bring me hundreds of times of benefits, and you will die calmly without my consent?"

"I don't want such a thing to happen, so I would rather watch you at all times and lock you by my side; I don't want you to be sad and disappointed, and I never dare to tell you what I want."

"Cui Yu, I was born with courage, and I like all challenges that are exciting, bloody, and even life-threatening, but..."

"In this world, the only thing related to you, I dare not take risks!"
