After the breeze passed, there was silence in the gazebo.Yuan Jing put the inkstone back on the table without saying a word, picked up the brocade handkerchief and wiped his face.Yuan Xi's eyes flicked over his slightly swollen wrists and messy clothes, and finally fell on his face that was getting more and more ink-smeared.Looking thoughtfully at the direction Chu Yu left, he said casually, "Did you quarrel?"

Yuan Jing let out a "hmm", looked away unnaturally, and said hesitantly: "We...he taught me martial arts just now, and I lost and played foolishly, he is not happy."

Yuan Xi said: "Brother Jing, your temper is too good. After all, there is a difference between superiority and inferiority. Depending on who he is, he shouldn't be so inferior."

Yuan Jing lowered his head and said softly: "It's okay, I know he didn't do it on purpose." The Jinpa was completely black, and his face was still dirty. Eyes feel sore.

Yuan Xi sighed lightly, seemingly unintentionally said: "My younger brother is getting older, he knows what's on his mind."

Yuan Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he changed the topic and said, "I don't have anything to worry about, Brother Huang, I'll go wash my face first."

Yuan Xi smiled and took him by the hand: "Okay, I'll accompany you." Seeing that Yuan Jing was in a bad mood, he dragged him around the capital that afternoon, Yuan Jing was absent-minded the whole time, and went back before dusk.After dinner, he excused himself to be tired from playing today, so he went to rest early, and told the guards that he didn't have to come to watch at night.

The bedroom was brightly lit all night, Yuan Jing sat in front of the window looking forward to it all night, the sky was clear and calm, and the moon was much bigger than usual, but it was a pity that he was alone on a good day and no one was with him.When the sky was getting brighter, a few petals floated down, which was the only tenderness he got tonight.

He didn't feel sad for too long, and when he got up in the morning, another command came from the palace, summoning him into the palace.It was Emperor Yan who learned that he wandered around all afternoon yesterday, and he didn't know that time was precious, so he should study hard.The tone was harsh, unprecedented. Liu Lin stood aside, not daring to breathe.Yuan Jing was so disheveled by the training that he was all listless when he came out.Emperor Yan seemed to have enjoyed reprimanding him, so he would call him to the palace every now and then to yell at him.Yuan Jing was like a frightened bird all day long, if there was any movement in the mansion, he thought it was someone from the palace who had been sent again, he slept alone at night and often woke up from dreams.

Yuan Xi often went to the palace to help him speak, but I don't know why, it's okay if he doesn't persuade, once he persuades, Emperor Yan will definitely call Yuan Jing into the palace the next day.When he doted on Yuan Jing in the past, he thought he was good at everything, but now he can't be seen anymore, and even the homework written by Yuan Jing before can be a reason to scold him.

For two months like this, Yuan Jing was in a trance. When he left Zichen Hall that day, his feet were empty and he rolled down the jade steps.Fortunately, he is young, so there is no serious problem. Xue Yi came to ask for his pulse, and let him rest for a while.From now on, there is no need to go to the palace. Emperor Yan personally took up a pen, wrote down all his "mistakes", and sent someone to read it to him.

All the people he sent were full of air, and once they started to scold, the whole Prince's Mansion could hear it.The prince has always been trained to be like this, and the others dare not even raise their heads.Within a few months, everyone in the court knew that Emperor Yan hated the prince deeply.In addition, Yuanxi returned to the court, and rumors of Emperor Yan's desire to abolish and establish were rumored.Some people who follow the trend took the opportunity to write a letter, discussing the past and the present, and testing the tone of Emperor Yan.There were also some people who did not avoid disasters, or spoke bluntly, or entered the prince's mansion to show their loyalty, and the prime minister Zhou Ji was the leader among them.He is a hot-tempered person, and the court reprimanded the person who spoke up, saying that this person has ulterior motives and wants to shake the foundation of the country, and said: "If the emperor abolishes the prince, the minister would rather resign and return to his hometown than obey the imperial edict." !"

Emperor Yan didn't say anything, but more or less gave these people a little bit of trouble.Yuan Xi also felt helpless about this. In the past, they were brothers and friends, no different from ordinary people, but now they saw the coldness and cruelty of the emperor's house.He assured Yuan Jing many times that he had no intention of replacing him, and he came back this time just to see his father and younger brother, Huang Tian above, if he disagrees, he should die badly.

Yuan Jing smiled wryly after hearing this: "I know that there are all kinds of things out there now, Brother Huang, if I can't even trust you, who else can I trust?" Having said this, his eyes became lonely.In the past few months, Chu Yu has never come to him once. The person who vowed to accompany him and protect him is like a sweet dream of his. When he wakes up, the dream disappears.After a while, Yuan Jing said softly: "Don't worry, no matter what others say, I will never have any suspicion of you."

Yuan Xi burst into tears, held his hand and said, "Good brother."

Halfway through July, Xue Yi came again to ask the prince for a second pulse, saying that he is already well.Yuan Jing looked terrified and said that he was very dizzy, so he asked him to look again.Xue Yi knew what he was thinking, and persuaded him: "The prince has been lying down for so long, if it is not good, the emperor will send someone else to watch."

Yuan Jing understood what he meant, so he had no choice but to give up.The oral order came the next day, calling him and Yuan Xi into the palace.Yuan Jing was worried all the way, and he was not in the mood to eat breakfast.I haven't seen him for a few months, Emperor Yan treated him coldly as usual, seeing his pale and thin appearance, he didn't show any sign, and sat down indifferently.Yuan Jing's back was straight, and after staying up for a long time, he didn't see any intention of embarrassing himself, but he had a good chat with Yuan Xi.

After going through so many things like this, Yuan Jing no longer even felt wronged. He stared blankly at the cracks in the bricks and thought to himself: I wish I could become an ant. It's cool and quiet down here. I want to hide in Inside, no one can find me.With this thought, I felt a little sad: who would come to me now?I'm afraid there are only Xiao Liu and Cao Ruyi.

After a while, several courtiers filed in.Yuan Jing heard them talk a few words, and then he realized that today Emperor Yan was discussing Quli's affairs.Successive victories in northern Xinjiang forced Quli to send the prince to Beijing for peace talks.Emperor Yan didn't want to see him or not, so he summoned his confidant ministers to discuss what to do.The prime minister's temper remained unchanged, and he took the lead and said: "The peace talks are nothing more than ceding land and paying compensation. We have fought for so long, and the plan is not for size land. For the current plan, we should go all out and go straight to Huanglong."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was slow, stroked his beard and said: "If you don't see them even after seeing them, it would be too unreasonable. Why don't you just listen to what they say."

The prime minister frowned coldly: "What can I say, nothing more than those clichés, so that he can plow the country without losing the foundation. After all, you don't need to go to battle to kill the enemy. Why bother to look forward and backward like this."

Upon hearing this, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites immediately rolled up his sleeves and started arguing with him.Emperor Yan glanced at the two people sitting next to him, and said calmly: "Prince, Marquis Shun'an, what do you think?"

Yuan Xi snatched: "The Prime Minister is right, of course attacking is the priority now, after Quli is destroyed, whatever the father wants, just take it for himself."

Emperor Yan looked at Yuan Jing: "Prince, what do you say?"

Yuan Jing has been scolded by him for a while, and when he heard him speak, he immediately stood up: "Father, father." Looking at the people around him, they either showed encouragement, or were full of expectations. Just jumping up and down, at this moment, I became more and more apprehensive.Seeing his flustered expression, Yuan Xi got up to smooth things over and said, "Father, Brother Jing just recovered from a serious illness. When he came out in the morning, he still complained of dizziness. Why don't you ask him later?"

Emperor Yan said: "Sit down. Prince, what do you say?"

Yuan Xi sat down awkwardly, and did not forget to pat Yuan Jing on the shoulder, signaling him not to be afraid, Yuan Jing's voice was very low, and he did not dare to lift his head: "I don't know the situation on the battlefield, but it is hot in summer, although a strong attack is okay. , but for fear of too many casualties, it is better to delay until September, when the grain and grass will be plentiful, and the soldiers will be full, and then the attack will be the best."

As soon as the words were spoken, the surroundings paused. After a long silence, Yuan Jing quietly raised his head and took a look. In the past few months, it was the first time he saw emotions other than disgust and indifference in his father's eyes. It was a pity that he disappeared in a flash. So much so that he felt that he might have read it wrong.Although the Prime Minister had different opinions with him, but thinking that Emperor Yan didn't like him, in order to avoid the crown prince being rejected again, he coughed and said without blinking: "After thinking about it, what the crown prince said makes sense. .”

Emperor Yan said lightly: "General Shenwu also meant the same thing. I was a little hesitant at first. Since you all think so, then let's do it this way." Nodding his head, he said to the Minister of Rites: "The two princes sent by Quli, The frame has reached near Gyeonggi, you can do it according to your discretion, don't be too extravagant."

As soon as Yuan Jing heard that the two princes had arrived, he immediately thought of He Qi's coming to court. Although he knew it was wrong, he was still a little curious. He wondered if this time was the same as last time. younger brother.

It's rare that he didn't get scolded today. When he left the palace, his footsteps became lighter. Yuan Xi laughed and said, "Be more cautious. Father will see you like this, and he will scold you again." Yuan Jing was very happy all of a sudden. When I got up, I said "oh", and then lowered my head again.The moment he lowered his head, Yuan Xi's eyes glowed sinisterly, staring at the back of his slender neck for a moment, then indifferently looked away.

On July 27, Emperor Yan held a banquet in the palace for the two princes from Quli.There are not many civil servants this time, but most of the generals have come. Looking from the throne, they are all rough warriors. They don't seem to welcome them, but they seem to show their strength with martial arts.Yuan Jing came late, and when he entered the door, he saw Chu Yu's figure at a glance. He was born with broad shoulders and a broad chest, and he was extremely imposing, even among a group of warriors, he was very eye-catching.When everyone paid homage to the crown prince, he lazily followed suit, but he didn't lift his eyelids, purely to deal with errands.

Yuan Jinghen's teeth were about to be gritted, and he deliberately walked over with his head held high, without looking at him.After taking the seat, the resentment was still unsatisfied, and when he saw the fine wine on the seat, he took it up and drank it.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Cao Ruyi knelt down beside him and told him jokes in a low voice, each one being less funny than the other. In the end, Yuan Jing was not amused by his jokes, but by the way he was scratching his head and thinking hard. Waving his hand: "I know you are worried about me, I'm fine."

Only then did Cao Ruyi feel relieved. The moment he got up, he suddenly felt sharp on his back, as if someone was staring at him. He glanced to the side in fear, and saw Chu Yu's murderous eyes, He immediately bowed his head and said silently: I didn't see anything!I don't see anything!

Only the ceremony officer said loudly: "The eldest prince Quli will meet tomorrow night, and the second prince Chi Xiao will see you."
