Gongzhongji

Copywriting of Palace Records

He is a prince, but it's just that he grew up in the cold palace and has no power.

He also wanted to avenge his mother, but—he couldn't plan and couldn't find an enemy.

He wanted to live a normal life peacefully, but──

"Brother Yan, when I become emperor, you will be mine!" His once beloved younger brother showed a ferocious face.

The general of the enemy country said calmly but firmly: "Little guy, who do you think you can rely on besides me?"

"..." Only the trusted elder brother said nothing, because everything was in his calculations.

Three wolves and one rabbit, who will the rabbit be in the end?

Gongzhongji 01 wedge

Dakang, Xihe 5 years.

Concubine Rong Shu, the favorite concubine of the current emperor Xia Shang, suffered a miscarriage because she ate a cup of poisoned white fungus soup. Because of the strong toxicity, Concubine Shu survived by chance, but she could no longer bear children.In the deep palace, no matter how much a concubine is favored at this moment, as long as she fails to give birth to a prince, the favor and glory will only be short-lived and will not last long.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, which lasted four months, and finally found out that the real culprit was the empress, who was known for her benevolence and generosity.

This result was quite unexpected, but there were all the witnesses and evidences. Even if the empress refused to admit that she had done such a thing, the emperor's anger could not be appeased. In fact, the emperor didn't like his empress either.

The queen's surname is You, and she is also a beauty. Although she is not as glamorous as Concubine Rong Shu, she is dignified and quiet, and has her own majesty.Empress You comes from a scholarly family and is solemn and respectful. On weekdays, the emperor is obsessed with beauty and wastes government affairs, and the empress will help and correct him, which makes the mediocre emperor very unhappy.This time it was found out that the poisoning was done by the empress, the emperor might also wish to take this opportunity to depose the empress.

Regardless of the dissuasion of others, the emperor insisted on going his own way and deposed Empress You, and she brought her youngest son to live in Yufang Palace, also known as Lenggong.

A few months later, the queen died of illness, leaving only the four-year-old prince Yan and maid Qing He living in the cold palace.

In the same year, Tong and his concubine died of dystocia and gave birth to nine princes named Hao. Because his mother and concubine passed away, the prince Hao adopted and became a son for the barren concubine Rong Shu.

Perhaps to avoid bad luck, the emperor changed his name to Taikang at the beginning of the next year.

Palace 02 A Boring Prince

The jasper makeup is one tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down.

I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, the spring breeze in February is like scissors.

The spring of the ninth year of Taikang came very happily, with bright sunshine, gurgling water, green willows, the wind in February broke the silence of a winter, singing birds and insects, full of vitality, even the deepest and coldest place in the palace seemed to be full of vitality. Much more lively than usual.

"Your Highness—you will catch cold like this!"

The maid stood behind the boy and whispered helplessly, but obviously the boy didn't pay much attention to her dissuasion.

Xia Yan sat by the pond, took off his shoes and socks, and swung his feet in the cool water. Feeling the cool water brushing against his skin, he remembered the touch of his mother back then.

Xia Yan looked down at the reflection of the maid in the pool. His maid had a pair of beautiful eyes, but most of her face was covered by a scarf, and her forehead was covered with bangs, making it difficult to see her appearance clearly.Xia Yan shook his feet, the ripples on the water messed up the maid's face, Xia Yan smiled and said: "It's okay, Qinghe, I like this, just let me sit here for a while."

"But Your Highness..."

"It's okay, Qing He, you can do your work."

The maid Qing He could only helplessly shake her head, her little master was sometimes very stubborn, which made it difficult to understand.

Qing He left, leaving only Xia Yan to continue sitting by the pool and swinging his feet.

This is Yufang Palace. Compared with other palaces, the buildings here are not too bad. Although they are a bit dilapidated because no one has repaired them, they still have the unique magnificence of imperial palaces. There is also a lake in the backyard. There are several weeping willows planted by the lake, dyeing the water surface green and green.Originally, there were groups of red carps swimming happily in this clear water, but most of these red carps gradually died in the past few years, and now there are only a few black carps left.There are not many things that can be fed to carp in Yufang Palace, and most of what is fed to carp's mouth is not good.

There was no one in Yufang Palace. Xia Yan remembered that when he lived in Lijing Palace, he always followed a group of people wherever he went, but now he is always alone, occasionally accompanied by Qinghe. In the courtyard, corridors, rooms or anywhere in Yufang Palace, there is no walking eunuch accompanying him.

Few people came to Yufang Palace, except for a eunuch who delivered food three times a day, no outsider was seen throughout the year.

Yufang Palace is very deserted. Xia Yan has lived here for nine years, and he has long been used to this desertedness. Once he gets used to the desertedness, it will no longer be deserted.But Xia Yan occasionally feels bored.

Xia Yan sat by the pool for a while, then got up and went back to the house. The lake water in early spring was still a bit cold, so he really couldn't soak for too long.

Xia Yan picked up a book from the bedside and opened it. He had read this book many times, and he knew it by heart, but it was due to be returned at noon, so he would not be able to read it again. Now, he will read it again so as not to forget.I don't know when I will see the new book next time. I keep these things in my heart, and I can think about it again and again when I don't have a book. It's also a kind of fun.

After reading the book all morning, I was sure that I had memorized every word in the book. When the little eunuch delivered the meal at noon, Qing He stuffed the book into the lunch box, asked the little eunuch to take it back, and gave the little eunuch another pill. Broken silver, please get some more books when he has a chance.The little eunuchs who came to deliver the meal were all newcomers who had just entered the palace and had no money or status. A small piece of silver was enough to satisfy him. If not, Xia Yan would not be able to bribe them.

The little eunuch left happily, promising to get them another book as soon as possible.

After lunch, Xia Yan went back to his room to take a nap. After waking up, he practiced martial arts in the backyard as usual. When the sun was setting, he put away his sword and waited for the little eunuch to bring him food. Unfortunately, there were no new books.Xia Yan was slightly disappointed in his heart, but it didn't show on his face.

In fact, the management of ordinary books in the harem is not strict. Since the invention of printing in the previous dynasty, the number of books has increased greatly, and each palace has a set of common classics. People want to read a book for two or three days, but no one notices it. Even if the master suddenly needs to use it, it can be presumed that it is put away, and it can be returned immediately when the time comes.It's just that the little eunuch who delivered meals to Xia Yan was a newcomer who had just entered the palace. He didn't know much about the tricks in the palace and his status was too low, so he timidly dared not bring books to Xia Yan from time to time.

After dinner, Xia Yan meditated in his room to rest.When the moon was on the top of the tree, Qing He took a small note to find Xia Yan: "Your Highness, Mr. said that he has something to do today, so he won't come, let you have a good rest."

Qing He handed over the note, Xia Yan glanced at it, and nodded slightly to show that he understood.

Qing He stepped back, Xia Yan watched the door close, and after a long while, Fang let out a sigh.

Life in Yufang Palace is very boring. Without people, those complicated interpersonal relationships will be missing. Without the attention of those in power, there will be no intrigue that can never be too busy. Without other novelties in the palace, there will be no playthings. For Xia Yan, apart from reading books and practicing martial arts in his nine years of life, there is almost nothing that Xia Yan can devote himself to doing, so the arrival of the master every night has become one of the things he is most looking forward to. .

Xia Yan is only a 13-year-old child. Of course, the irresistible circumstances have worn his temperament down, but after all, he is not an outsider who has gone through a lifetime of prosperity and sees through the world of mortals. On this early spring night when everything is revived, Xia Yan's heart The little restless seed also poked its head out secretly.

Xia Yan remembered that his mother took him by the hand and said before leaving: "Don't go out here, don't go out here before the age of 16, let everyone forget you, this is the best way to protect you." His hands were cold and cold, so thin that they were only bone-shaped. He held him tightly, making him painful. Xia Yan remembered his mother's words. Since he moved into Yufang Palace, he has never left here, not even a step No, he is obedient, but he is still eager to see what the outside world is like.

Xia Yan remembered that before he was four years old, he could play anywhere in the harem, he could command most of the palace people, he could get almost everything he saw, and he would take to fresh gadgets.But that all changed in the summer when he was four years old.

If a person falls from the high altitude of being rich and powerful into the quagmire of nothing, he can see all the human feelings in this world.

Xia Yan has seen it and experienced it. He didn't understand it before, but now he has figured it out.

If it weren't for the kindness and justice of the empress mother who brought favors to countless people in the palace, Xia Yan's life would be even worse now, and he might not even have a full meal.

Xia Yan stood at the gate of Yufang Palace. He looked at the winding and invisible corridor outside the gate. He suddenly wanted to see what the palace he had seen before had become now.

Palace Story 03 A Wayward Prince

"I hate...huh?!"

Pong!

There was a dull sound of clashing hands in Baoyu Palace. The beautiful vase was thrown to the ground by force, but the result was different from what the person who was thrown had imagined. A thick vase matched with a soft plush carpet, the kind of broken porcelain. The clear and crisp sound did not come to mind as expected—the vase just rolled on the carpet twice, and then lay there unharmed.

The boy who threw the vase stared at the vase with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe that the vase was not broken, and even stopped the curse that came to his lips.

The boy stared at the vase for a while, then suddenly picked up another vase at hand and rushed up to hit the vase on the ground, smashing both vases abruptly, and cursed bitterly while beating the boy: "My name is You are not broken! I told you not to break! You are just like that dead old man, smelly and hard! I will kill you! I will kill you!"

The young man smashed it a dozen times with all his strength, and the two vases were about to shatter badly, so he gradually stopped, panted and sat down on one stool, sniffed, and then uttered another sentence: "Against me? Humph!" !"

Perhaps he treated the vase as the annoying old man in his heart and gave up his anger after beating him for a long time. The young man greeted the palace servants to come in and clean up the mess. He kicked off his shoes and socks and threw himself into the bedding, covering his head and falling asleep.A young palace lady in her early twenties came in from the outer room. Seeing the young man like this, she stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, if you want to sleep, this servant will fetch water for you to wash before going to bed. If you sleep like this, you will be fine tomorrow morning." comfortable."

The young man really didn't want to pay attention to this woman, but although this woman was just a court lady, she was sent by his concubine. She said it was to take care of her, but she also meant to discipline her. If the young man did something bad, within a quarter of an hour, This woman will tell his mother and concubine the news.The young man is most impatient with his mother's concubine's preaching, and also most afraid of her mother's concubine's punishment, so even if he doesn't want to listen to what this court lady says, he has to follow it.

The boy grinded on the bed for a while, finally sat up, and ordered weakly: "Go and prepare hot water, the king wants to take a bath."

The boy went to bed again after taking a bath, but his hair was still wet, so he couldn't fall asleep right away. The boy was walking around the room with his wet hair bored.The maid came again, but this time she handed over a book and said, "Your Highness, Mr. will have an exam tomorrow morning, you can read more books."

It's annoying to mention book boys.Last night he forgot to recite the book, and today the old man just picked him up to recite it. Naturally, the young man couldn't say a word, so the old man reprimanded the young man for only knowing how to play but not reading, and he babbled a lot. The boy was so annoyed that the brothers and sisters next to him saw him making embarrassments and taunted him. When he got angry for a while, he scuffled with one of them, and the old man's beard was raised in anger. Finally, he sued his father and mother. There, he was reprimanded quite a bit, and then there was the incident of beating vases as soon as he returned to the palace.

At this moment, the court lady put the book on the floor, and the young man immediately waved the book far away, and cursed: "You ugly monster, don't just think you have the support of your mother and concubine, so you can tell me what to do with you! Get out of here! I don't want to see you!" It's your ugly face!"

The court lady didn't seem to care about the young man's abuse at all. She picked up the book and put it on the table with no expression on her face, knelt down for the young man, and then silently withdrew.

The maid's behavior made the young man's fist hit the air without any force, and the boy was so angry that he grabbed the book and slammed it against the wall, as if the book was the court lady, and he insisted on throwing it. Shattering is reconciled.

Naturally, paper books are not so easy to break, and it is impossible for the boy to grab the maid and throw them against the wall. Such a move has no effect except to make the boy feel a little bit sullen.

The boy threw himself back on the bed again, he felt that the world was so noisy, everyone hated it to death, and he was not allowed to be clean for a moment, although the mother and concubine loved him, but she was disciplined so severely that he didn't want to see the concubine's gorgeous face at all. beautiful face.

The boy's mind was full of thoughts, and he gradually became a little sleepy. Various strange thoughts flashed by while he was half asleep. When he woke up, he probably didn't know what he was thinking at this time. The boy didn't know how long he had been lying on the ground. It's just that the cold wind blew in the night, and he suddenly woke up from the cold. He fumbled for a long time with the quilt in a daze, but couldn't wrap himself up. Only then did the boy really open his eyes and look at his current situation.

Outside, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the night wind in early spring was still cool. He wore thin clothes after taking a shower, and now he felt cold when the wind blew.Seeing that half of the boy's body fell out of the bed, the quilt was pressed under him, so naturally no matter how hard he grabbed, he couldn't cover himself with the quilt.

The young man was a little depressed. He climbed onto the bed and rolled up the quilt, trying to fall asleep, but he seemed to be full of sleep just now, and now he was in such a good mood that he didn't even feel sleepy at all.The young man rolled on the bed for a long time, finally couldn't bear the boredom and irritability, he got off the bed lightly, put on his clothes, tied his hair into a ponytail with a rope, and saw that there was no movement from the palace people outside, so he went from the other side of the room. One side went out the window.

Palace Story 04 "Xiao'an"

The young man unfolded his lightness kung fu and ran all the way out of the palace. When he got out of the gate of Baoyu Palace where he lived, he felt as if he had just let go of a big and heavy burden, and he felt relaxed.The young man turned his head towards the dark monster-like palace in the night, made a grimace, laughed twice, lost all etiquette, and left in a sway.

After leaving his bedroom, the boy didn't know where to go.He is very familiar with the harem, he has been everywhere, he has seen and touched everything, and now he suddenly ran out and no one was following or controlling him, but he didn't know what to do.

The boy tilted his head and thought for a long time, and finally decided to go for a stroll in the imperial garden.

The young man thought that there was a big lake in the imperial garden, and there was a big carp in the lake. Every time the young man wanted to go into the water to tease the carp, the people next to him stopped him, saying that the water was cold and deep, and it would be dangerous to go down.Every time the boy could only watch the big carp swimming around on the bridge but he had no choice. This time there was no one around him, so the boy wanted to go into the water to catch the big carp!

The young man went all the way to the Imperial Garden, thinking that he could catch fish and his pace was a lot faster, but when he trotted all the way to the Imperial Garden, he found that someone was already there.The boy was taken aback for a moment, and stopped to carefully look at the people not far away.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and the man's back is facing the young man. He is not tall, and seems to be in his teens. Like the young man, he tied his hair behind his head with a headband, and the exposed slender neck is snow-white under the bright moonlight. Yes, the young man was a little dumbfounded, he felt that the mother's concubine's neck was not as white or beautiful.The boy felt that his throat was a little dry, and he swallowed his saliva. Looking again, the man was wearing very ordinary blue clothes. Although he seemed to be quite clean and tidy, he didn't look like the clothes of the masters in the palace.

The young man only thought that this person was an eunuch, so he breathed a sigh of relief - he was really afraid that he would meet some palace master here, and then he would sue his mother and concubine again, he would have no good fruit.

According to the rules, except for the palace guards who are in charge of night duty and cleaning, other eunuchs are not allowed to leave the room casually at night.

The young man thought that he had caught the eunuch's pigtails this time, and thought about how he would bully the little eunuch later. Thinking of this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, but he didn't expect this chuckle to startle the man, and the man quickly Turning around, he looked surprised.However, when he saw this person's true face, the boy was even more surprised than him.

What a quiet person!

Although it is not correct to use "quiet" to describe a person's appearance, if you say it, you will be scolded by the old man again, but the face of that person made the young man think of this word in the first place, but if you want the young man to say why, The boy couldn't say anything.What's more, the man's back was facing the moonlight, his face was not clear, but he could only see a little bit of his eyebrows, which made people feel very "quiet".For an irritable teenager, this feeling is like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup in the hot summer. The cold current seems to sink into the bones, which is extremely refreshing.

When the young man was in a daze, the man took a step back, and the young man also came to his senses. Seeing that the man seemed to want to run away, the young man immediately rushed forward and grabbed him, pretending to be vicious, and asked, "Which palace are you an eunuch? Look!" You don’t even salute even this king, how courageous you are!”

The man was a little puzzled, his eyes swept over the young man, probably seeing the prince's clothes on the young man, a flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, obviously he understood the young man's identity, but he still stood there, not saying anything. Not polite.

The young man frowned slightly, and said again: "I am King Hu, why don't you kneel when you see me?!"

The name "Hu Wang" is like a big tiger in the palace, it can be said that no one dares to mess with it.

King Hu is the ninth son of the current emperor. His surname is Xia and his name is Hao. His mother and concubine are Rong Guifei, one of the three wives.

Concubine Rong was originally just a beauty who was selected into the palace from the people, but once she entered the eyes of the emperor, her situation was very different from then on. With the favor of the emperor, she directly skipped the nine concubines and became one of the eight concubines, Concubine Shu. In the first two years, she was ranked as the third wife, and she was titled the noble concubine, and she is still favored by the dragon.Now that the empress position is vacant, and the other two wives are reclusive, this woman is the most powerful in the harem.Along the way, if it is said that this woman has no means, no one will believe it.

Concubine Rong not only has a noble status, but her son Xia Hao is also deeply loved by the emperor.The prince Xia Hao is not the biological son of Concubine Rong. In the case of concubine Rong being poisoned, Concubine Rong, who was also concubine Shu, not only had a miscarriage but also could not bear children again because of the poisoning. Prince Hao was born with concubine Li Tong. Concubine Rong died of dystocia, and the child was adopted by Concubine Rong.This child has been clever and cute since he was a child, coupled with Concubine Rong Gui's good upbringing, this child is well-behaved and intelligent in front of the emperor, and he is deeply loved by the emperor.Later, Concubine Ronggui found an opportunity to blow the emperor's pillow, and Xia Hao, who was not yet four years old at the time, was awarded the title of "King Hu". They are all the same as the second-class prince.You must know that ordinary princes can only become kings when they are 16 years old, and the gap between them is unknown.

Xia Hao was so young that he naturally couldn't take care of his own property, and these benefits finally fell into the hands of Concubine Rong.The son can bring so many benefits, even if Concubine Rong is strict with Xia Hao, she still loves Xia Hao a little bit, and with the support of the emperor, no one dares to care about Xia Hao's naughty mischief in the palace. It was too late for him, how could he dare to defy him.

If ordinary people heard the name "Hu Wang", they would have knelt down in fright, but that person was not. After hearing Xia Hao's self-report, he just stood quietly, neither arrogant nor humble, neither condescending, nor arrogant. No words.If someone else was like this, Xia Hao would have asked someone to drag him down and die with a stick, but Xia Hao liked this person very much. He felt that this person looked comfortable, so it would be a pity to beat him to death like that.Xia Hao is also a child at heart. When he rolled his eyes, his anger disappeared, and then he took the man's hand and said, "Hey, what's your name? Which palace? You say it, and I will stay here with the king again." Play, this king will not punish you!"

The man couldn't help laughing at Xia Hao's triumphant childish face and pretending to be ferocious, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up in a silent smile.Xia Hao was stunned for a moment, then he heard the man finally say, "You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you doing here?"

"This voice is much better than those women!" Xia Hao thought to himself, and subconsciously answered the man's question, "The people in the palace are so annoying, and this king hates them, so I came out for a walk!──Hey, you You haven't told me what your name is yet!"

"I... I don't have a name." The man replied softly.

Xia Hao frowned, bit his lips and tilted his head to think for a while, and said, "Since you don't have a name, let me give you a name. You can call me Xiaoan!"

The man asked curiously, "Why is it called 'Xiao'an'?"

"Because I like it!" Xia Hao blushed slightly, he was embarrassed to say that he felt comfortable seeing the person in front of him.

Satisfied with naming the new little eunuch Xia Hao, he took Xiao An's hand and walked towards the lake, saying as he walked, "Xiao An, my king told you that there is a very big eunuch in this lake. Carp, I want to catch it tonight, so come with me!"

Xiao An is probably twelve or thirteen years old. He is a head taller than the nine-year-old Xia Hao, but he is being pulled forward by Xia Hao. This scene is like a little brother leading his brother to play. .Xia Hao was very excited, but Xiao An just looked at Xia Hao all the time, there seemed to be a faint smile on his gentle brows, but when he looked carefully, it seemed that there was nothing, and the occasional flashes of light in his eyes were also incomprehensible.

Walking to the gazebo in the center of the lake, Xia Hao leaned on the railing and looked into the water. However, at night, the water surface seemed to be shining silvery and very bright, but when actually looking at it, it was dark and there was no underwater situation.Xia Hao looked at it for a long time but couldn't find where the big carp was, and thought of Xiao An watching from the side, he suddenly felt quite ashamed, and said angrily: "This dead fish, I don't know where it went Tomorrow, I must drain the water and see where it hides!"

Xiao An didn't answer, Xia Hao felt that he didn't get back his face, rolled his eyes, and said to Xiao An: "You wait here, I will go down and catch that dead fish!"

Xia Hao stroked his sleeves as if he really wanted to go down, Xiao An quickly grabbed him and said, "Hao...Your Highness Hao, do you really want to go down?"

Xia Hao suddenly got excited, raised his chin and said triumphantly: "Of course, I will catch it up and make soup!"

But Xiao An said: "The fish can't live without water, and the soup it stew is not delicious, Your Highness should not catch it."

Xia Hao curled his lips and said, "I don't care, I want to catch it and make soup!"

Xiao An opened his mouth to speak, but paused for a while but didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, let go, and stopped blocking Xia Hao.

Although Xia Hao originally wanted to catch the fish to play, but now he has a bit of a mentality to show off in front of Xiao An, but Xiao An's reaction made Xia Hao less interested, rolled up his sleeves twice, and saw that the water surface was dark. Huhu seemed really scary, and he himself felt boring.

Xia Hao rubbed it for a while, then said in frustration: "Really, if you don't catch it, you won't catch it."

Xiao An smiled slightly, but didn't speak.

Xia Hao sat on the railing for a while, then suddenly raised his head and said to Xiao An: "Hey, little eunuch, I will not catch fish as you said, how do you think you will compensate me?"

Xiao An was startled, and looked at Xia Hao suspiciously. Under the moonlight, those eyes were like two clear pools, with sparkling ripples, Xia Hao was almost fascinated.

"Your Highness?" Xiao An called softly, waking Xia Hao from his stupor.

Xia Hao coughed lightly, then raised his head and said viciously: "Quickly tell me, how do you want to compensate me?!"

Xiao An asked, "What does Your Highness want?"

"I want...to..."

Xia Hao yelled loudly at first, but after saying two words, he faltered and his face began to turn red.Xiao An was even more puzzled, not knowing what else would embarrass this little overlord.Xia Hao snorted twice, and was turned into anger by Xiao An's look. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao An over, leaned his head towards him, and yelled, "I want to bite you!" neck!

Palace Story 05 Master

Xia Yan couldn't help touching his neck again, he didn't expect that his brother in name would bite him so hard and mercilessly last night──it's a wolf!

Xia Yan shook his head helplessly, recalling the whole story of what happened last night.

Bored, Xia Yan walked out of Yufang Palace. He wanted to go back to his mother's Kunning Palace, but he stopped when he passed the garden. He remembered that his mother had brought him here when he was a child. A koi was raised in the lake in the garden, and when he remembered this, he wanted to see how the koi was doing.However, the lake was pitch black at night, and he couldn't see anything. When Xia Yan looked at it for a while and couldn't see the fish and was about to leave, someone behind him suddenly let out a chuckle.Xia Yan was startled to realize that he had been spotted, and turned his head subconsciously, only to see a child standing there. Because of the poor light, he couldn't tell what it looked like.

Xia Yan wanted to leave at that time, he didn't want to provoke anyone, he didn't want anyone in the palace to remember him, he just wanted to leave the palace when he became king at the age of 16.But unexpectedly, as soon as Xia Yan moved, the child rushed up to hold him, and asked him who he was.

The child called himself King Hu, and Xia Yan immediately knew who the child was──

Son of the Enemy!

At the beginning Concubine Rong Shu had a miscarriage and infertility, and it was found out that the empress did it. Later, the empress was abolished and sent to the cold palace, and her son, the fifth prince Xia Yan, also moved to the cold palace.A few months later, the queen died of illness, leaving Xia Yan and his maid Qing He alone to survive in the cold palace.Now that Xia Yan has grown up, he can fully understand what happened back then. She doesn't believe that it was poisoned by the generous and kind mother. She is also a noble concubine of Rong.

Xia Yan didn't know how he should treat this younger brother. He didn't really want to pay attention to him, but seeing Xia Hao's thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was really cute, so he couldn't bear to scold him, and let Xia Hao drag him to the Huxin Pavilion In the middle, until Xia Hao said that he wanted to catch the fish, Xia Yan vaguely felt that the big fish was the koi raised by his mother back then, so he couldn't help but stop it. Xia Hao still wanted to catch it. The younger brother had a conflict, so he stopped talking, but it was beyond his expectation that Xia Hao didn't catch any fish.However, what was even more unexpected was that he was bitten by the child.

Xia Yan didn't know what the child was thinking, so he bit it suddenly. After biting, the child probably felt embarrassed. He wiped his mouth and said "you will come tomorrow", and he gave it to him. He ran away, making people dumbfounded.

But Xia Yan can't go tonight because his master is coming tonight.

In the dead of night, a black shadow passed over the palace, and before anyone noticed, that shadow had already disappeared in the palace.

"Yan'er!"

Accompanied by a hoarse low call, a black shadow flitted across the treetops and appeared behind Xia Yan.Xu was used to the presence and absence of visitors, Xia Yan turned around calmly, bowed his hands to the visitor and said: "I have seen the master."

The person who came was the master who taught Xia Yan martial arts. Naturally, outsiders did not know about this master, otherwise Xia Yan's life in the palace would be much more troublesome.

The person who came was wearing a large black cloak from head to toe, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.He said: "Okay, the hypocrisy will be omitted, show me what I taught you last time."

"Yes."

Xia Yan agreed, raised his sword and jumped into the arena, using the moves he had learned in a few days.I saw the sword light in the middle of the night like a white practice, although limited by age and body shape, the strength in the moves is insufficient, but he already has a three-pointed posture, which is very rare at Xia Yan's age at this time.Moreover, Xia Yan only started to formally practice martial arts at the age of six, and he was much older than other children who practiced martial arts since childhood. To be able to practice to this level can be said to be as much talent as hard work.

Apparently Xia Yan's performance made his master quite satisfied, the black-robed man praised: "Not bad, it's a bit tasteful, it's pretty good to be able to practice like this in half a month."

"Thank you, master." Xia Yan stood with his hands down. He was happy to hear the master's praise, but he had been used to hiding his emotions for so many years. At this time, his face was only calm, and he could not see whether he liked or disliked at all.

The man in black obviously didn't care about this detail, and said again: "I'll teach you another style today, watch it."

After speaking, the man in black pulled out a long sword from his waist and compared it. He swung it at a normal speed first, the sword was like a swimming snake, and the silver flowers bloomed, dazzling the viewers.After this time, the black-robed man performed it again at a slower speed, so that Xia Yan could clearly see every move and style.After doing this three times, the black-robed man asked Xia Yan to be his envoy.Xia Yan is not stupid, after reading it three times, he can roughly remember it, but some details are not in place, so the man in black will give pointers, and so on. After Xia Yan has fully learned it, the man in black will stop.

"Practice hard, and I'll come back in a few days."

When the man in black said so, Xia Yan nodded to show that he understood.

The man in black left, Xia Yan got acquainted with the moves in the courtyard, and went back to his room to rest.

Because he practiced sword at night, he got up late the next day. When he woke up, Qinghe brought a book, which he said was brought by the eunuch who delivered food in the morning. Xia Yan was very happy, but when he saw it, he read it before Yes, I think the little eunuch is illiterate, so he doesn't know what book he took.

Xia Yan was disappointed at first, but thinking about it, he had read this book for a long time, so it would be good to read it again now.Comforting himself in this way, Xia Yan calmed down his emotions.

Because I got up late, it was already noon after a little tidying up. In the afternoon, I read books and practiced swords. Woke up in the middle of the night, lay down for a while, and thought of Xia Hao's younger brother again, couldn't help touching the tooth marks that seemed to be still left on his neck, remembering that the child said he wanted to see him last night, but he didn't go last night, no Know what happened to that kid.

That night Xia Hao didn't agree to see Xia Hao the next night, but he didn't refuse (Xia Hao ran too fast, he didn't have time to refuse), but he didn't go last night. Now thinking about it, Xia Yan was afraid that Xia Hao really went last night After waiting for a long time, I feel a little guilty.

Tossing and turning, thinking about Xia Hao, Xia Yan couldn't fall asleep, thought for a long time, and finally got up, he wanted to go to the Royal Garden, if he ran into him again, he would explain, if he didn't see anyone, Xia Yan would Can rest assured.

Story of the Palace 06 Goodbye

Xia Yan arrived at the imperial garden, the garden was dark, the lake was still like a big open mouth, so dark that he couldn't see the bottom, Xia Yan looked around, but he didn't see anyone, he thought that Xia Hao, a favored prince, probably wouldn't He would come out to hang out in the middle of the night every day when he was free, so that night was probably just Xia Hao's whim.Thinking of this, Xia Yan was relieved, but also faintly disappointed.

Xia Yan stood by the lake for a while, and was about to leave, but he didn't want to hear the wind coming from behind him. Xia Yan was about to get out of the way, but he heard a young boy's voice shouting: "Stop! Don't go!"

Xia Hao?

Xia Yan came to his senses and stopped his evasive movements. He knew that he must not let outsiders know about his martial arts learning, especially when this person was the son of his enemy.

Although Xia Yan didn't dodge, he still pretended to turn around inadvertently, seeming to catch Xia Hao's pounced body in a hurry, but he couldn't stop himself, so he took a few steps back, as if he couldn't bear it.
