Tongshu with Mei

This year the emperor died and the crown prince Yang Tao ascended the throne.

The new emperor designated Concubine Guo as the late emperor's burial, and several other concubines who had nothing to do were also buried at the same time.This sacrificial burial is just a nice name, but it is actually buried alive.When Yang Xi heard the news, it was like five thunderbolts. Although the Dayan Dynasty had a precedent for burial, they were all low-rank concubines who had never given birth to a prince.There is no such thing as Concubine Guo.Yang Xi knelt down in front of the emperor's brother blankly, wanting to cry for a while but without tears.

Yang Tao waited for a long time, but he didn't see him speaking, so he continued: "You don't answer, but you don't want to?"

Yang Xi swallowed his tears, and finally kowtowed deeply, his forehead hit the blue brick, and blood smeared out: "This is the honor of the mother and concubine, my brother, thank the Lord for your kindness!"

Yang Tao said indifferently: "Really? I think so too. When the father was alive, the one who loved her the most was Guo Niangniang, so the empress naturally wants to accompany the father. I allow you to see Guo Niangniang again."

Yang Xi took the initiative to ask for orders to guard the imperial mausoleum for three years to show his loyalty and filial piety.The emperor granted it with kindness and comfort.

When guarding the imperial mausoleum, Yang Ye and several guards from Prince Zhao's residence followed.

In the main hall used for sacrifices in front of the imperial mausoleum, the tablet of Guo Niangniang is placed together with that of the former emperor.Yang Xi often swims in like a sleepwalker when no one is around, staring at the tablet of his mother and concubine in a daze.Yang Ye and Bei Chenqing also followed and stayed by his side.Bei Chenqing was silent, Yang Ye didn't like this gloomy hall, so after waiting for a while, he said, "Brother, I'm hungry." So Yang Xi stopped being dazed, and took his hand out, Bei Chenqing followed behind.The three shadows are very bleak and lonely, and the three depend on each other for life.

After the three-year period expired, when Yang Xi left the imperial mausoleum with all the guards, he solemnly said to Bei Chenqing and Yang Ye: "Actually, Brother Huang treated me very generously."

At that time, Bei Chenqing had grown into a handsome and upright young man. Hearing this, he smiled at his master.

Yang Ye was 14 years old, and he was still a little confused, so he also smiled and returned to the capital.

Later, Yang Ye also grew up, but he could never forget this Lady Guo.Surrounded by guards, he rode across the long street in Luoyang, Kyoto. He was dressed in a cherry-white fretwork brocade jacket, with a short silver gun hanging on his waist.In the spring breeze of willows, riding a horse against the leaning bridge, looking back lightly, the building is full of red sleeves, and has earned a reputation of being arrogant, extravagant, promiscuous and romantic.

In fact, he wasn't looking for a girl, he was looking for snacks everywhere, and he wanted to taste the taste that Guo Niangniang made back then.It's a pity that I went all over the dim sum shops in the capital, but I still couldn't find it.

But Yang Xi always felt that he hadn't grown up. He was still the child he held in his hands and carried on his shoulders when he was a child. He called him very affectionately: "Little wolf!" and occasionally called him: "Nuanlin."

Yang Xiren was upright and cautious in front, advancing and retreating with restraint, and his demeanor and etiquette were impeccable.On weekdays, the control over the servants of the guards is also very strict, but if Yang Ye is biased, he can't be strict no matter what.No matter what trouble Yang Ye got into, as long as he whimpered and said a few coquettish words, the corners of his already tight lips would involuntarily bend, and then they would get longer and longer, and finally he couldn't help but smile , let it go.

The servants of Prince Zhao's Mansion often heard the following conversations.

"Little wolf, don't be lazy, go practice marksmanship!"

"No, I've been doing it for several days, and I'm sore today, I need to take a good rest. Otherwise, the imperial doctor will say that I can't be tall, what should I do if no one looks up to me?"

"Okay, okay, you are already tall enough, you see that you are almost taller than me! If you want to be lazy, you must find a decent reason."

"Little wolf, when you were hunting with the emperor yesterday, did you quarrel with Lao Liu again? You almost fought, right? You see, I didn't follow, and I know it. Don't talk to him from now on."

"I can't wait to tear him apart. It's polite to quarrel! Sooner or later, I will kill him!"

"Okay, okay, you'd better make less trouble. Don't always talk about killing, it's not good."

"Little wolf, my brother has asked to go to the north to fight against the country of Xijia, and I won't be able to stay in the capital for a few days. I will ask Yun Qi to come to you specially for the next few days. Hurry up, don't sleep late, get up earlier and come to my residence .”

"Then I won't leave at night, so as not to get up so early and have to come over in the dark, I'll go and squeeze with Yunqi."

"Okay, okay, have you forgotten that you kicked Yunqi out of bed in a dream in the middle of the night? You should follow me, my bed is bigger."

"Brother, you go to the border, why can Yun Qi follow but I can't?"

Yang Xi sighed softly, Yang Ye looked at Yang Xi's slightly frowning brows, and said, "Is it the emperor who won't let me go?"

Yang Xi stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "I have no family or heirs, and the emperor can't control anything about me. If you go with me again, he will be even more worried, so you can stay. I will take it with you." Yun Qi and the others, nothing will happen, you can just wait for the news of my triumphant return. Stay at home, restrain yourself, and don't cause trouble, okay?"

Yang Xi took Bei Chenqing away, the pavilion was ten miles long, the grass was luxuriant, the stream was shining, and the smoke was blurred.Yang Ye bid farewell to the fourth prince who had always been tolerant and caring for him, and was left in Luoyang, the capital.

He was singled out and felt lonely, so he had to go to the Ministry of War a few times to pick up some news about the border.In recent years, Sika in the north has repeatedly invaded the border, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil.Hu Ren is savage and savage. Although Yang Xi has received good news repeatedly, he seems to have fought very hard.Yang Ye was worried because of Yang Xi, and wished he could fly to the border, but due to his identity and various inexplicable reasons, he could only stay in the capital.Before Yang Xi left, he left his two guards, Zhonglizhen and Nianwei, to Yang Ye. No matter where he went, he followed him, guarded him, advised him, and helped him.

Regardless of the border, the capital's side is still prosperous.There are so many singing and dancing to promote peace and prosperity.

Yang Ye was extremely bored, so he forgot about Yang Xi's request to leave. He was very high-profile on weekdays, running around on various romantic occasions. Not to mention how busy the leading oirans were, the Marquis of Huainan was always busier than the leading oirans.Fighting with this one today, and fighting with that one tomorrow, the challengers are all powerful and powerful, with incomparable arrogance.His bad deeds continued to spread to the palace.When the emperor Yang Tao heard about it, he just smiled and didn't say a word.

Until one day, in the Baozhu Tower in Luoyang City, Yang Ye and the sixth prince Yang Lie had a disagreement and fought again in order to fight for the top girl.Zhong Lizhen and Nian Wei blocked the sixth prince's bodyguard intentionally or unintentionally, the sixth prince's mouth was still dirty, and then Yang Ye punched him, knocking out one of the prince's front teeth.

The sixth prince was panicked, covering his mouth full of blood, he didn't forget to bend down to pick up his own tooth in his busy schedule, thinking about his body and skin, he told his parents not to throw away anything easily.Yang Ye put his hips on his hips and sneered, Yang Lie saw that he really couldn't provoke him, so he ran downstairs whimpering, thinking he was going to the palace to file a complaint.A group of guards followed suit and walked away in an instant.

Nian Wei hurriedly came up and said: "Master Hou, Lord Hou, you have caused trouble, the emperor will definitely blame you! What can I do about it?"

Yang Ye sneered: "I have long disliked him. It is polite to knock out a tooth of his. When I was young, he called me a bastard and said he would knock out my tooth. I want to let him see it. Whose teeth are more reliable!" He turned around, flicked his sleeves slightly, sat down at the desk in the private room, raised his handsome sword eyebrows, and continued: "What is the blame? It's just a tooth! It's a big deal for me Wouldn't it be more decent to give him a gold tooth to have it inlaid?"

Zhong Lizhen was steady and cautious, with a slumped face, not knowing how to respond to him.Nian Wei remembered the appearance of the sixth prince with gold teeth, but accidentally burst out laughing.

Yang Ye squinted at him, followed him and started laughing, and turned his head to see the frail leading girl hiding behind a beaded curtain, secretly looking this way.Yang Ye hooked his fingers at her: "Beauty, come here."

The card at the head hurriedly came over with two maidservants: "Your Majesty summoned the servants, what are your orders?"

There was a strange smile on the corner of Yang Ye's lips: "What do you think? This Marquis came earlier than the Sixth Prince. You were supposed to serve me. Why did you go to him as soon as you saw him and ignore me?"

The girl stretched out her sleeves to hide her shame, and said tremblingly: "Master Hou, the girls in our Goulan, this perfunctory trend and change of mind is the ability to settle down. Master Hou is usually such a knowledgeable, interesting, caring person, why is it so hard to be a servant today? "

Yang Ye put his hand on his chin, his long phoenix eyes sparkled, looked at her sideways and smiled, "Really? In this case, it's not my fault. But girl, this is not the first time I have been you I have never treated you badly, but I have never seen your true face, girl. Today, I even hurt the prince because of you, so how about letting Master Ben be able to see it?"

The card at the head lowered the sleeve a little bit, and said with a charming smile: "The true face of the Nu family is what Hou Ye saw on a daily basis, why did Hou Ye say he hadn't seen it? But you are joking with the Nu family?"

Yang Ye shook his head and said, "No, no. Every time you smear your face with a thick layer of makeup to cover up your true face. This is the jade girl peach pollen from Yangzhou, right? Tsk tsk, it smells so fragrant and white, can you How extravagant, I use so much every time!" He said, standing up slowly, slowly raising a cup of tea in his hand, as if he was about to take a sip, but suddenly it splashed on the girl's face with a loud splash. face.The girl let out an exclamation, and the rouge on her face was immediately flushed out.He was so ruthless that even Nian Wei and Zhong Lizhen were also stunned.

Yang Ye looked at the multifarious face, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and hummed softly: "There are ravines and gullies, like a slave who can't express his thoughts... Oh, hello... The end of the year, Zhongli, the wind is tight, Shoutout!"

Nian Wei couldn't hold back his laughter, Zhong Li sullenly followed Yang Ye and roared away.

The girl at the head beat her chest and cried, "Master Hou, Master Hou, it took me more than half an hour just to get up early and put on makeup, thirteen processes! Now it's all ruined by Master Hou! Ahhhhh , Why is the slave family so unlucky today? Could it be that they have collided with the Baimei God?"

On the second day, Yang Ye was honored to be summoned by the emperor to meet him in the imperial study after noon.

The majestic palace gates of Ziwei Palace were opened one after another, and Yang Ye walked all the way to the imperial study room under the guidance of the palace staff.Knowing that yesterday's bad behavior happened, he knelt down and saluted immediately after entering the palace gate, kowtowed and said: "Huainan Marquis Yang Ye kowtowed to His Majesty, what orders does His Majesty summon?"

There is no sound in the imperial study room, only the gilded duck and animal incense burner overflows with silk dragon birth incense, which lingers lingeringly.Yang Ye's kneeling posture was very standard, he waited quietly and calmly, very much like a wealthy prince of a great country.Then he heard the sound of rustling clothes and gentle footsteps, and Yang Tao walked in front of him. Yang Ye could not look up without his permission. in front of my own eyes.

After a while, Yang Tao's gentle and gentle voice sounded: "Yang Ye, how old are you this year?"

Yang Ye said: "My Majesty, I have just passed my 20th birthday."

Yang Tao hummed, and said: "Sure enough, you are young and full of vigor. I heard that you knocked out a tooth of King Qi because of a girl in Goulan yesterday?"
