Offer a tripod

The carriage and horses were bumpy, and Yuan Jing dozed off on the road. He refused to lean on Chu Yu, and he swayed from side to side in his sleep.Chu Yu didn't plan to take care of him anymore, but suddenly heard a "boom" beside him, it was Yuan Jing who fell into a daze and bumped his head against the wall of the car, so he had to hug him to sit on him.Yuan Jing leaned against him and dozed off, and when he woke up again, the sleepiness also passed.He sat bored, lifted a corner of the curtain, saw that the car dealership had passed the state bridge, there were not many pedestrians and vendors on the road, and there was nothing lively to watch, so he took his hand back.

Chu Yu was still thinking about what to say in case he was found out, so Yuan Jing squeezed him hard and said impatiently, "Sit down."

Yuan Jing yawned and asked, "Is it true that Ah Shan won't be beaten again?"

Chu Yu said: "If you don't run out with him, he will have saved all the previous meal."

Yuan Jing whispered: "Whoever asks you to accompany others will not accompany me."

Chu Yu didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Yuan Jing hurriedly changed the topic: "It's nothing, the eldest prince is really powerful, Ah Shan can't avoid him with such good skills, and it's not obvious that he can't fight martial arts."

Chu Yu and Wu Shitu have known each other for several years, and know that this person is really used to hiding clumsiness, but he didn't expect Yuan Jing to find out.Looking at him carefully, he guessed that he was just talking casually without thinking carefully, so he fooled: "He is an adult, and Prince Wushan is still a child."

Yuan Jing suddenly realized: "That's right, then when Ah Shan grows up, you don't have to be afraid of his brother." He raised his chin, glanced at Chu Yu with his small eyes, stretched his legs long, and said threateningly : "Hmph, I'm about to grow up too."

Chu Yu saw through his small thoughts at a glance, hugged him in his arms, and frightened him: "What do you want to do when you grow up, can't you turn the world upside down?" Yuan Jing faced each other day and night, and his wariness was worn out by him, almost returning to the temper he had when he was in the general's mansion.With this thought, he was slightly startled, and vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Yuan Jing was so strangled by him that he couldn't breathe, and begged for mercy in his arms with a playful smile, Chu Yu let go of his hand without saying a word.He was silent for too long, Yuan Jing leaned on his chest, pressed his forehead against his chin: "Brother, why don't you talk anymore?"

Chu Yu said perfunctorily, "I'm thinking about where to hide you later."

Yuan Jing said: "Isn't there a hidden compartment behind you? I hid there last time and ran out of the palace."

Chu Yu's heart tightened, and his tone became serious unconsciously: "How do you know?"

Yuan Jing said: "When my elder brother was still in the palace, he always told me stories outside the palace. I found it interesting, so I begged him to take me to have a look. He said that he would build a car that can hide people. Just take me there." Having said that, his voice lowered.Chu Yu remembered what he had said when he had an awkward situation with him earlier, and thought coldly: Oh, his brother is not here now.

"I saw the silver saddle on your horse that day, and the golden tiger pattern on the eaves of the car, and thought he was back. I sneaked up and looked for it for a long time, and it really made me find a place to hide. I was happy at the time It was so bad, I wanted to hide it as a surprise for him, only to find out later that I got into the wrong car."

According to the rules of etiquette in this dynasty, only princes can use silver saddles and gold patterns. Emperor Yan bestowed General Shenwu with the title of Marquis of Beizhou.Besides him, there is another person in the world who has both the name of brother and the title of the crown prince.

Chu Yu looked at him: "The elder brother you are talking about is Yuanxi, Marquis of Shun'an?"

Yuan Jing nodded vigorously.

Earlier, there was no heir in the palace for a long time, and Emperor Yan was getting older. He couldn't bear the daily admonitions of his officials, so he chose a person from the clan to raise him in the palace. The imperial edict was issued, but it was delayed only when the queen was happy.This person is Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi stayed in the palace for four years, she was gentle and respectful, and had a good reputation.Even after the crown prince was born, Emperor Yan didn't send him away immediately.Yuan Xi has been with the prince for nine years. The year before last, Emperor Yan granted him the title of marquis on the pretext that he had reached the crown, and ordered him to move out of the palace.Less than three days after the imperial decree was issued, the people set off for the fief thousands of miles away.

Chu Yu seemed to have met him when he came to Beijing with his father when he was young, but he was young and couldn't remember anything.He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuan Jing, for some reason, he said, "He came to pester me after he left?"

Yuan Jing immediately put his arms around him, and said sweetly, "I like you too."

Chu Yu reckoned that the matter of Yuan Xi leaving the palace might not be that simple, but he was disturbed by Yuan Jing's stickiness, so he didn't bother to ask.Glancing outside the curtain, seeing that he was approaching, he patted his leg: "Get up." He also stood up, squatted halfway in the car, opened the hidden compartment behind the seat, and talked to him lazily, pointing After a moment, motioned him to go in.

He arrived at the gate of the palace in a short while, seeing that it was the carriage of Shizifu, the imperial guards had a very respectful attitude, checked the badge, and let it go without even opening the curtain door.

At that time, the feast in Baojin Building was not over yet, and the music was still ringing in my ears. Most of the concubines and concubines in the palace had gone to serve the banquet, so the surrounding area was very quiet.Fang Qing drove the car to a remote place surrounded by trees.As soon as the horse neighed, Chu Yu opened the hidden mechanism with his backhand, got up and got out of the car.Fang Qing waited for a while but didn't find the prince, lifted the curtain to see, it turned out that Yuan Jing didn't hear Chu Yu speak, but obediently nestled in the car, hurriedly got into the car and brought the prince down.Yuan Jing stayed inside for a long time with his hands and feet tied, and when he got out of the car, he ran to the side to stretch his waist and kick his legs.Chu Yu Fang Qing said: "Go back."

Fang Qing looked at his face, felt that he seemed to be unhappy, and hesitated: "Will you come to pick you up tomorrow?"

Chu Yu said in a flat tone: "No need, seal the secret compartment after you go back."

Fang Qing said "ah": "Why?"

Chu Yu glanced to the side: "To save him from getting this convenience, he will always pester me to take him out in the future." After calling Yuan Jing, he ran over over there.

The Taoist temple where the prince keeps the year is not open to carriages and horses, so he has to walk.In order to avoid being discovered by others, Chu Yu let Yuan Jing hide under his cloak, and dragged him to walk quickly.Seeing the Taoist temple in the water ring from a distance, Yuan Jing heaved a sigh of relief, he shook his hands: "Go slowly, I will not be able to keep up."

Chu Yu saw that he was so tired that his head was sweating and his hair was sticky, so he slowed down his pace: "Are you called Xiaoliu to replace you?"

Yuan Jing pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly remembered something: "Oh, I haven't gone to release the sky lantern yet." Turning around, he was about to chase Fang Qing's car, but Chu Yu grabbed him: "Where are we going?"

Yuan Jing couldn't break his hand away, so he raised his head and hurriedly said, "I want to release the sky lantern."

Chu Yu said: "The car has gone far away, and you can't catch up if you chase it. When you turn around, people will find that Xiaoliu and Prince Wushan can't escape the relationship. Besides, where can't the sky lantern be placed? Do you have to run outside? "

Only then did Yuan Jing think of this verse, and heaved a long sigh: "It will only work if you turn on the lantern."

When the sky was getting brighter, there was a sky lantern show by the Zhouqiao River, the largest and brightest of which was the Kui Lantern, and only those who won the first place in the previous lantern competition could be released. After the Kui Lantern rose into the air, thousands of Tens of thousands of sky lanterns are put together, like fireflies surrounding the bright moon, but the sky is shining brightly, and even the red sun that rises later cannot compare with it.

Seeing Yuan Jing kept looking at the sky in the east, Chu Yu laughed and said, "It's that fun thing that your brother told you again?"

Yuan Jing said: "Well, he said that what he personally wrote on the ribbon under the lamp can be realized."

Chu Yu didn't want to talk about other people's rights and wrongs behind his back, thinking in his heart, he was just fooling your child, and said in his mouth: "You are a prince, so just tell your father what you want."

Yuan Jing shook his head: "This father will not give it." He raised his head and smiled at Chu Yu: "Forget it, let's replace Xiao Liu first, I am afraid that he will cry there."

Chu Yu said helplessly: "You also know?"

At this time, a loud noise was heard in the east, and then a red light rose up, illuminating half of the sky.All the scenes of prosperity and peace in the imperial city seemed to be shattered by this sound.

Yuan Jing's smile hadn't faded, and he said blankly, "What... what's wrong?"

Chu Yu's face was heavy, and seeing that the water ring was approaching, he stretched out his arms and hugged him: "I'll take His Highness there first." With a little tiptoe, stepping on the iron chains tied to the four corners of the Taoist temple, he volleyed across the air without touching the ground.

In the first month of the 11th year of Tianyou, the sky lanterns by the Zhouqiao River accidentally exploded, and thousands of lights on the bank were burned out in an instant, causing countless casualties.Emperor Yan was furious, and ordered his officials to investigate the matter thoroughly. In the imperial city, the guards in the palace became more and more strict.In the following month, the whole country was still discussing this matter, and Ying Tianfu was very busy, but except for the official lamps, the rest of the sky lanterns were all from the people, and there were many people involved. craftsmen to atone.As for the incident of the noble young master committing murder in the brothel that night, because this incident is more important than that, it is not worth mentioning.

The next night, Emperor Yan came to visit Yuan Jing, and it was strange to see that he was already asleep.Xiao Liu hurriedly said: "The prince was tired from the night watch last night, and he clamored to sleep after dinner." Emperor Yan nodded, feeling a little at ease, he didn't allow others to disturb him, and sat by the bed watching Yuan Jing for a long time.When I came out again, my energy was better.He called Xiao Liu aside and asked: "Did the prince really not go out last night?"

Xiao Liu didn't dare to look at him at all, forced herself to keep her eyes still, and said calmly: "No, His Highness has been keeping watch all night."

Before Emperor Yan came, he had already asked those eleven teenagers, and they all said that the crown prince, except for the midway out of respect - he only came back after half a minute, and stayed with them all night.Seeing Xiao Liu's words with certainty now, this heart is completely let go.He turned to Chu Yu and said, "You can stay with Jing Er for a while, and He Qi's eldest prince is there. I will find someone else to accompany him."

Chu Yu guessed that Emperor Yan felt that this matter was aimed at Yuan Jing.But this time let's not talk about him, I am a little scared, if Yuan Jing didn't suddenly want to come to him, what kind of situation might be in now.In addition, the Sky Lantern Festival has been held for several years and it has been very uneventful. It is a bit of a coincidence that Yuan Jing will go out once in a while, and there will be disasters.And he also went to see the Nangong Gate that Yuan Jing said they had agreed to escape.The palace wall there is more than five feet high. Although the guards are not as good as the main gate of Donghua, there are watchtowers in the distance and patrols nearby. I really can't imagine how they escaped without anyone noticing.

The worst possibility is that there are some villains hiding in the palace, who cover them in private, but it is not known whose subordinates these people are.Today, if the crown prince has something to do, I am afraid that the situation in Dayan will change suddenly, and there are many people who can benefit from it. Maybe it is Yuan Jing's elder brother who is far away in the sky, or the barbarian who covets the territory of Dayan, or Or...it was his father who held a heavy soldier.

Chu Yu's eyes darkened, he sent Emperor Yan away, and walked into the prince's bedroom with his hands behind his back.Because of this kind of incident, Emperor Yan called some skilled palace servants over, saying that the prince needs to be guarded day and night.Chu Yu said to the two palace men guarding the door: "Go down, I will guard tonight."

The two looked at each other, not daring to go against his will, so they had to leave.

Yuan Jing originally pretended to sleep in order to send Emperor Yan to sleep, but last night was really hard, and he really fell asleep while lying down.Chu Yu sat by the bed and looked at him by the light of the pearl in the curtain.He has been running around with Wu Shan these days, he has indeed grown taller, but his face is still immature, such a child, I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand a gust of wind or a torrential rain, no wonder Emperor Yan is careful about him in every possible way.

Wu Shitu's words are still vivid in his ears. Although Chu Yu is unwilling to cling to others, but now his foothold is not stable, he will have to accompany him for a while.At this time, he couldn't help but worry about Yuan Jing's safety.Thinking that there would suddenly be a lot more things to be careful about in the future, Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little headache, sitting aside with folded arms, said in a low voice, "Troublesome little thing."

Yuan Jing slept lightly, woke up when he heard the sound, looked to the side, rubbed his eyes and said, "Father is gone?"

Chu Yu hummed and helped him cover the quilt.Yuan Jing came over and put his pillow on his lap. Seeing that it was still early, Chu Yu thought he couldn't lie down, so he turned his head and glanced at him: "Remember?"

Yuan Jing shook his head lightly, grabbed his hand and placed it on his chest, with his eyes still closed, not knowing what he had dreamed before, he called out in a raving voice: "Brother."

Chu Yu put his arms around his shoulders, and said casually: "Well, big brother is here."
