The happy life of the devil and the devil

The smoke is green, and the warm wind is blowing.A person sits at the table holding a pen and brushing it intently. The sun shines through the bamboo curtain and casts thin shadows on the back of his hand.Not far away, another person is half lying on the couch, eyes half closed, one hand on the body is holding a roll of old books, a jug of new wine by the side of the couch, half a game of chess is broken, just stealing half a day of leisure.

"I remember the first time I saw His Majesty, it was also this season, and even the weather was similar to that day." After finishing the first volume, Ling Yucheng put down his pen and turned around, "It's been ten years in a flash."

"...Ten years?" Yuan Shao slowly opened his eyes, "Which time do you mean?"

"That time on the Yueyue Tower... Could it be that His Majesty can't remember?"

"Hehe, of course not. The first time I saw you, you are so tall—" Yuan Shao's nostalgic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he compared casually, "At that time, we didn't have common names, so you probably can't remember ..."

At that time, he was still the proud crown prince under his father's knees. Since he was established as the only legitimate son at the age of six, he was the unshakable and sole heir of Beiliang.His father treated him with expectations and connivance, and after his martial arts could protect himself, he even allowed him to remain anonymous for half a year and travel abroad—"While I can still see this stall, you will gain more experience as long as you go out." "Okay," Father said.

That year, he returned home from Yuxia via Wucheng.It was midsummer just like now, the weather was rare to clear up after the long rainy season, the city was full of lush greenery, and the fragrance of flowers was tangy.He rode a horse and walked unhurriedly on the street, and his shoulders were wet from time to time by the remaining rain falling from a drop of flowers.

Different from the magnificence and grandeur of the northern court, the houses of Wucheng people are elegant, with white walls and black tiles, which are endless.The walls are not high, and you can even see the lush garden and the colorful skirts of girls hidden among the green willows from the horseback.Yuan Shao watched casually as he walked, listening to the laughter inside the partition wall, he felt that his whole body was relaxed.

When he walked past the back garden of which mansion, he heard voices of yelling from inside:

"My lord, be careful!"

"My lord, you can't—"

"grown ups--"

Curiously, he reined in his horse and looked in. The courtyard inside the wall was not that big, and a circle of green trees were planted around the courtyard wall. The pomegranates in the courtyard were like fire, and the crape myrtle was like a waterfall.Among the houses shaded by flowers and trees, Yuan Shao saw a ladder under the eaves at a glance, and a small figure was climbing on the top of the ladder, holding the eaves with one hand and exploring the bird's nest under the eaves with the other.There were a few men dressed as servants standing on the ground, each of them scrambling around with their hands clasped, trying to grab the man on the ladder, but they didn't dare, so they just yelled loudly and softly from below.

"My lord? Chi--"

I don't know if the laughter startled the child, but just as his fingertips entered the bird's nest, his feet slipped and the whole ladder fell down.There was an exclamation from below, and several servants hurriedly dodged around, but no one rushed up to help.The child reacted quickly, made a somersault in the air, and in a moment was standing firmly on the ground holding the chick, raised his head, and met Yuan Shao who was overlooking the inner house on horseback.

"What are you laughing at! Who are you! How dare you spy on the official's inner house!"

"My lord—poof!" The child in front of me has white teeth and red lips, and Yuxue is cute. Although she wears her hair in an adult bun, she only looks like a teenager to three points, and looks more like a doll wearing an adult's clothes at seven points. But he still wants to call himself the official in a serious manner.Yuan Shao couldn't help it, and burst out laughing as soon as he opened his mouth, and finally suppressed it: "Which family are you from? Where's your adult?"

"I am an adult!"

"...Okay, okay, you're an adult." The child stood on the ground angrily, with his face upturned, his cheeks flushed, the appearance of the southern child was more delicate and agile than that of the northerner, at first glance he looked only twelve or thirteen years old.If it wasn't for being outside the wall, I really wanted to take his bun apart and rub it well, "May I ask what your official position is?"

"This officer is the new Wucheng guard! ——Bold lunatic, spying on the inner house, and still not dismounting this officer to plead guilty!"

"You...hahahaha!" It's not suitable to stay in a foreign place for a long time. Seeing the little guy rushing over with people, Yuan Shao laughed and urged the horses. When the door behind the house creaked and opened, he had a red and red bun face. Leaning out, the guy who is laughing outside the wall is already far away——

At that time, Yuan Shao, who hurried back to China, didn't know that it was this cute little doll who made people want to rub it hard. A few months later, Wucheng was burned down, and the [-] army of Beiliang fell under the city——

"Bring you back at that time." Yuan Shao's tone was not without regret, "Later I heard that it was the new Wucheng defender who fought that battle. Guy..."

"..." It was obviously swallows that were picked out at the time... When he mentioned it, the situation at that time was immediately vivid before his eyes. The early summer when he had just left his official position and was stationed in Wucheng was indeed a rare time of peace and joy for him.Thinking of being startled by his laughter and stepping over the ladder at that time, Ling Yucheng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and suddenly chanted: "I will look at you from afar at the top of the wall, and I will be heartbroken when I see you..." His gaze was on Yuan Shao spun around, smiling, indescribably embarrassed.

"Knowing the king's heartbroken and sharing the words of the king, the king guides the pines and cypresses of the mountain." Yuan Shao responded, half-up on the couch, and stretched out his hand to him. Ling Yucheng smiled back, and got up and sat down on the couch following his movements. Yan, "Okay, if I knew you had this ability at that time, I would have tied you back, okay?"

"of course!"

Seeing the corners of Ling Yucheng's mouth curled up triumphantly, Yuan Shao stretched out his hand to cover the back of his hand, and patted him lightly. Suddenly his thoughts changed, and he blurted out: "Say, if you followed me back to Beiliang at that time... ... what will happen?"

"At that time..." Ling Yucheng didn't even want to say anything, in the middle of speaking, he suddenly stopped talking and turned his head away, turning his back and refusing to look at Yuan Shao no matter what.Yuan Shao was amazed, looked at him carefully, and was surprised to see that the base of his ears turned red slowly, and after a while, his ears and cheeks turned red.

"Where did you go?" Asking, the poem that the two sang together just now flashed through his mind, Yuan Shao suddenly leaned back, hammered the edge of the couch and laughed.It's rare, it's really rare that Ling Yucheng started this topic by himself, it means that he dug a hole on his own initiative to bury himself...

Seeing that Ling Yucheng was so laughed that even the back of his neck was flushed, and he stood up and left with his hands on the couch, Yuan Shao reached out and pulled him down and sat down on the couch: "I went back to Beiliang with you. , where do you want to go? Hmm..." She lowered her head.

The author has something to say: I sorted out the chronology:

0 Dayu moved south

25 Xiyan perishes, Beiliang is founded

35 Emperor Taizong of Beiliang succeeded to the throne at the age of 5

50 Beiliang Sejong succeeded to the throne at the age of 2

67 Yuan Shao was born

72 King Chu and Empress Dowager Taizong died

75 Death of Empress Sejong

90 Yuan Shao succeeded to the throne at the age of 24

100 Lingyu City enters Beiliang

In other words, this is ten years later, and they were already together in HE at that time...

ps, everyone knows what Xiaoling is struggling with all of a sudden, and what His Majesty is laughing at, right?
