wind and earth

Spring is warm and flowers are blooming. There is a small pond in the southeast of Changwang Mansion, surrounded by rich flowers. There is a pavilion in the pond, called Tangzhong Pavilion. Carp's poems.

Looking at the sunny weather, the servants of the Prince's Mansion brought refreshments and followed the Crown Princess and Princess Chengyang to the Tangzhong Pavilion. The little Prince Li Jing was still very sleepy, snuggling up in the arms of the Crown Princess.

"Chengyang, the prince comes to have breakfast with us every day." Su Jing'er smiled contentedly, as warm as the warm spring sun.

"I just said, Jing'er, it seems that next year I will have a little nephew to play with." He took Li Kyung.

Su Jing'er blushed and covered her mouth, she also hoped so, seeing Li Chengqian teasing the child these days, she really felt that the elder brother she knew when she was a child had returned to her side.

"What are you smirking again?" Nodding the child's face, "Look at your mother, she loves your father so stupidly."

"Nonsense." Su Jing'er blushed, and said, "I just feel that Brother Gan has returned to the original him who loves to laugh."

Cheng Yang was stunned, and put the child in the cradle: "Is that so..." He hesitated for a while.

"Jing'er was 12 years old and devoted himself to being an elder brother. At that time, he was smiling every day, but it seemed that after he became a prince, he was never so comfortable." Looking at his child, teasing, thanks This child made brother Gan smile again.

Cheng Yang didn't say much, just smiled lightly.

----

"Uncle, did Chengyang do something wrong?" Chengyang was sweating from running, and grabbed Jiufeng's sleeve.

"Fool, you are right." Gently comforted her.

"It's uncle. Uncle asked Chengyang, but Chengyang didn't want to talk about it." His eyes were red.

Jiu Feng's face turned half red, because he was beaten by Empress Changsun.

"Chengyang, my sister beat my uncle, and I just feel sorry for him. Uncle is a man, so it's okay." He coaxed her patiently, and finally patted her head.

"Uncle, will you leave us?" Guilt and guilt haunted her.

Jiufeng didn't respond, he hugged her and coaxed her

----

Cheng Yang fell into deep thought, she thought that it would have been better if she hadn't told her uncle that incident at that time, maybe the prince could have lived happily these years.

Seeing the wind, Su Jing'er asked the nanny to carry the child back to the room, the nanny took the two maidservants and walked on the corridor, for some reason, the nanny threw Li Jing into the pond.

"Hurry up, hurry up!" the nanny shouted in fright.

Seeing this, Su Jing'er wanted to jump into the pond to rescue her child, but Cheng Yang grabbed her and shouted to the servants beside her, "Hurry up and save the child!"

Li Chengqian, who was talking with Chufeng, saw him and wanted to jump into the water to rescue the child. Chufeng grabbed him, jumped into the pond, picked up the child, slapped the water with one hand, jumped up, and the water drops followed. As he turned around, a circle of water wreath spread out, and his toes touched the ground, falling into the corridor.

He pressed his fingers on the baby's belly, and felt relieved when he saw the baby spitting water and crying loudly.

Li Chengqian hurried forward, took off his cloak, and covered Chufeng.

"Child..." Su Jing'er burst into tears, and hurriedly hugged her baby. She glanced at Chu Feng, full of gratitude.

"Mommy, why are you holding the child and throwing the child into the water?" Cheng Yang became very angry.

"Princess...princess, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know who kicked my feet, look, I didn't lie." She trembled all over, pulled up her leg pants, there was indeed a lump red marks.

"This... none of you are allowed to leave, dare to play these despicable tricks in front of me, Chengyang!" With his hands still on his waist, he blushed angrily.

All the servants knelt in front of the pavilion, not daring to say anything.

"Sir, go and change your clothes first." He pulled the cloak for Chufeng again.

Chu Feng nodded, and after leaving, he turned his head to look at Li Chengqian again.

"Chengyang, go and see the concubine and the child. Here, let me handle it." If Chengyang behaves like this, these servants will all be imprisoned.

He wanted to refute and say something, but seeing the prince's rare stern eyes, he bit his red lip.

"Yes, Prince." When he left, he gave the group of servants a vicious look.

Li Chengqian had no expression on his face, he sat firmly in the pavilion and took a sip of tea: "This thing will never be done by the mother."

The servants dare not say a word, fighting each other.

Putting down the teacup, he tapped his finger on the tea table: "But it was done by one of you. If it's just to drive a wedge between you and me, that's all." After a while: "But this person is going to kill the emperor. His grandson, or maybe he is doing something for the Lord..." A servant shivered as he looked at the bottom.

Stopping your finger movements, pretending to sigh: "Oh... this king is heartbroken... think about this year's festival monthly salary, big gifts and small gifts, this king doesn't take stock of them himself, I don't want much, I just want my family. Peace, the servants of Prince Chang's residence are living in peace, that's all."

"His Royal Highness." The servants shouted together, very moved.

"This matter, my king will not submit it, so as not to worry the emperor, if you still have some conscience and feelings, you can talk to this king yourself." He glanced at the servant again, waved his sleeves and left.

Li Chengqian turned his head slightly, only to see the servant still kneeling on his knees, explaining a few words to the steward beside him, and then walked to Chufeng's room.

"Sir." Knock on the door.

"The prince shouldn't be here." There was no plan to open the door.

Li Chengqian was stunned for a while: "Sir, the ginger tea that will be served later has already told me to add some dried longan and honey, and I hope you will take care of yourself."

There was no sound from inside the door, and Li Chengqian stood for a while before leaving.

Chufeng in the room hung up Chengqian's cloak, and slid over the cloak with trembling fingers, his eyes were full of attachment

----

"What is this?" Jiu Feng took a mouthful of dried longan honey and ate it, with a surprised expression on his face, he took another small mouthful.

"Delicious?" Chengqian also took a mouthful, it was so sweet.

"This is called longan honey, mother brought it." The whole plate was pushed in front of Jiufeng.

Jiufeng paused: "My sister really loves you." He made some tea.

"If I know you like to eat, I will ask mother for more."

"My sister gave it to you. If she knew that you were coming to feed me, it would really hurt her heart." He pinched Chengqian's nose, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

"Jiufeng, what's wrong with you?" I always feel that something is wrong.

Jiu Feng was stunned: "What else?" He smiled.

"Jiu Feng, my uncle wants me to be the crown prince." He hugged Jiu Feng.

Hmm, as an answer.

"You know?" Still hugging Jiufeng.

"knowledge."

"I have no intention of the East Palace, do you know?" Kiss Jiu Feng's neck.

Jiufeng didn't respond, he caressed his face, closed his eyes to enjoy Li Chengqian's kiss, turned over and sat on Chengqian's lap, half-removed his clothes, his eyes were tinged with emotion, looked at each other, and kissed Chengqian with his head tilted. lips

----

Entering the princess's wing, Chengqian held Li Jing in his arms, and the steward at the side approached in small steps, and said a few words in his ear, and he smiled: "Take care of him more, for a while, ask Mr. to talk to him in the hall. Talk." After a few more confessions, the steward stepped down.

Li Chengqian nodded the child's face, thinking, it is rare for him to show a serious look on his face today.

"Prince, let the concubine carry it, you hurry up." He took the child with a smile on his face.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Then I left the wing.

Su Jing'er smiled sweetly, looking at Li Chengqian's back, thinking whether the crown prince cared about her, her heart was beating wildly, these days, she could feel that the crown prince didn't treat her like he used to She is as indifferent as ever, occasionally talking to her, caring a few words, I don't know when it will start in my heart, and I start to look forward to it, greedily wanting more love from the prince.

Li Chengqian thought in his heart that the prince fell into the water today, and the entire Chang Palace knew about Chu Feng's martial arts skills.

Thinking about the impulse just now, what Chufeng said was right, he shouldn’t have rushed to him without looking at his prince first, and he shouldn’t have given Chufeng the cloak when he fell into the water, instead of looking at him first. Check yourself and your children, these will become a major event for Mr. Zhi's death penalty.

With an inexplicable panic in his heart, Li Chengqian walked quickly to the hall, saw Chufeng helping the old servant, and heard him say to the old servant: "The king of Qi promised to rescue your second son from the Yamen. You know, the king of Qi has never Not involved in this matter, he is in charge of the Jiaofang, directly under the Ministry of Rites."

The old servant burst into tears: "Then what should we do, our Wu'er just helped his mother block the yaman's stick, and then was arrested by the indiscriminate county servant. When the King of Qi saw it, he said that he would help the old slave. Let the little prince fall into the water and then rescue him."

"Uncle Zhang, why don't you beg Your Highness the Crown Prince?" He shook Uncle Zhang's hand, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is a strict person, but what he talks about is love, how can you ignore such grievances?"

"Old servant, old servant...that's why I'm so impatient, but now I don't have the face to see the prince again." Thinking about it, he wanted to hit the wall and kill himself.

Chufeng pulled him tighter: "Uncle Zhang, you still have a chance to redeem yourself."

"Sir, it's good to take Uncle Zhang's life, Uncle Zhang will definitely do it." He said anxiously.

"His Royal Highness is reluctant to give up Zhang Bo's life, otherwise I won't let me come and talk to you." Pulling Zhang Bo to sit down, holding Zhang Bo's hand and saying: "This time you can be regarded as helping King Qi. If he If I ask you, you will say that you did it, and you have to tell him that I used martial arts to save the prince, understand?"

"Is there any more?" Some doubts, but still nodded.

"That's enough. If King Qi still has a little conscience, he will let your child go." Then he said: "But don't worry about the child, Uncle Zhang. After a while, the master will help you intercede, and you will cry again. , the prince will definitely soften his heart."

"Thank you sir, thank you sir." Uncle Zhang knelt on the ground.

"Don't kneel, Uncle Zhang, His Royal Highness is coming." He knew Li Chengqian stood outside for a long time.

When Uncle Zhang met the prince, he really cooperated with Chufeng and sang together. Li Chengqian agreed, so he let Uncle Zhang back down. Li Chengqian looked at Chufeng. The image of emphasizing love and righteousness also made him pay attention to reason when dealing with slaves this time, so as not to lose the loyalty of the servants in Chang Wang's mansion.

"You let King Qi know that you know martial arts, okay?" He took a sip of tea.

"It's better to let King Qi know, than to attack him secretly." King Qi, Changsun Wuji and the emperor should all know what happened today tomorrow.

"This March spring festival, sir, do you want to go together?" He got up and walked to the window. This spring festival is a big event.

"Must go." He took a sip of tea.

"Then you have to beg me, the master of Chang Wangfu." The corners of his mouth curled up.

"Please." I don't have much self-esteem, so I ask for it.

Li Chengqian smiled, turned around and said, "Sir, I just lost my mind." He suddenly said that he had just impulsively gone to Chufeng's wing.

Chufeng was stunned, got up and walked to his side: "Old man, may you punish His Highness?"

"No." Li Chengqian curled his mouth.

"Then let it go." He smiled and walked back to the wing.

The housekeeper held the soup bowl taken out from Chufeng's room, and bowed to Li Chengqian. He saw that the bowl was full of ginger tea, but there was no dried longan honey left, and he smiled happily

----

In the Hall of Qinhe, Li Quan said a few words in the emperor's ear. Li Shimin was a little surprised, but he still sat on the dragon chair. He was angry, but not angry at Chufeng's deception, but annoyed that he could not see through Chufeng.

He tapped his fingers on the table, thinking, Chufeng said that he wanted to keep Chengqian alive for me, and he knew that I love Li Zhi very much. He was also very sincere when discussing the overall situation of the country with him in those few days. Li Quan: "Tell me who this Chufeng is?"

Li Quan bowed respectfully, thought for a while and said, "This old slave looks like Master Jiufeng."

Frowning and wondering, if it's Jiufeng, why don't you recognize me?

"The old slave dares, this Mr. Chufeng is not like a bad person, the old slave also looked at him for a few days, but he really offered advice for the emperor. Your Majesty relieves your worries." Li Quan didn't believe in preemptive destiny at all, so he naturally observed this Chufeng more.

Standing up and turning his hands behind his back: "Forget it, why did he make any mistakes this time?"

Li Quan followed and shouted: "The emperor is going back to bed, prepare the sedan chair."

Sitting on the imperial throne, Li Shimin supported his head, closed his eyes and rested

----

Li Yuanji was sitting on the stone steps of his house, with disheveled hair and blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, he shouted hysterically: "Li Shimin! I'm just waiting for you to kill me! Hahaha..."

Li Shimin raised his sword in one hand and walked towards him slowly, with a gloomy and mournful expression under his helmet.

"I'm just waiting for you to kill me! Being accused by everyone, for the sake of imperial power, you will not be intimidated! Even your own brother will not be spared!" Laughing wildly, he did not intend to run away.

Li Shimin stood in front of him, his eyes were bloodshot, he raised his sword, and his thin lips parted lightly: "Yuanji, you killed more than three hundred lives of the Wang family, just for me, Li Shimin." There was a trace of sadness in Li Yuanji's eyes. Hate: "I, Li Shimin, am I worth those three hundred lives?" Seemingly about to turn to Li Yuanji for the first time.

"Second Brother." Jiufeng grabbed Li Shimin.

"Jiufeng!" Li Yuanji was taken aback when he saw Jiufeng. He didn't expect Jiufeng to be willing to save him.

"I, Li Shimin, are worth more than [-] lives!" Li Shimin shouted, pushing away the nine winds, and stabbing the sword into Li Yuanji's chest.

Li Yuanji smiled. He watched Jiufeng pull out the sword for him and shouted for him, that was enough.

"Second brother!" Jiufeng pulled Li Shimin away, looked at Li Yuanji who was lying on the ground, and helped him up.

Li Yuanji grabbed Jiu Feng's cuff and spat out blood: "Jiu Feng, you always favor the second brother..." He spat out blood again.

Jiufeng grabbed Li Shimin's sword, with tears in his eyes: "Fifth brother, it's okay to say I'm partial, how can I let you be killed by my own brother, fifth brother..."

Li Shimin opened his eyes wide and reddened, looking at Jiu Feng, Jiu Feng didn't want him to bear the crime of killing his brother.

Li Yuanji smiled, took Jiufeng's hand, and stabbed the sword into his chest.

"Fifth Brother!" Jiu Feng's tears rolled down his face, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

"Jiujiu...Jiufeng, I...what I said last time...do you remember..." Yuan Ji touched Jiufeng's face with bloody hands, and he said, we will be brothers in the next life.

"Remember." Jiu Feng was taken aback, and took his hand.

"Fifth brother...just...just as you promised...agreed..." He smiled, closed his eyes, and lowered his hand holding his sleeve.

Jiu Feng lowered his head and wept, and held his hand: "Fifth brother, go well." His hands were stained with blood again.

Li Shimin looked at Jiu Feng, and took his hand holding the sword tightly: "Jiu Feng..."

"Second Brother... Fifth Brother was killed by Jiufeng." Yuanji's blood was still on Jiufeng's face, mixed with tears.

Li Shimin embraced Jiu Feng: "Brother..." He didn't know what else to say, Jiu Feng could always understand the reluctance and difficulties in his heart, even though he had to kill Yuan Ji, Jiu Feng still favored him, just as Yuan Ji said .
