Offer a tripod

Before entering the palace, Chu Yu sent someone to inform him at home. Fang Qing didn't expect that he would get involved with the prince after going out to show off his prestige once. You think so, how can you expect others to not care too much?Seeing that Chu Yu remained silent since he left the palace gate, he felt even more disturbed.The snowy road was difficult to walk, and it was hard to get back to the house before asking about what happened after entering the palace.

Chu Yu only picked up the important points and talked about it. Seeing his face full of worries, he said: "The thing has already happened, and it is useless to think about it. After all, we have a clear conscience about this matter, so we don't have to be afraid of anything. We, even if we hide at home every day, we can find a reason."

Fang Qing thought about it for the same reason, took the wrung towel from him, and asked: "My lord, since the prince likes you, why don't you agree to him?" After a few steps, he hung the saber around his waist by the bed for him.

Chu Yu took off his boots by himself: "Our foundation is not stable, it's better to keep a low profile for now, not to mention that I have nothing to do, so I don't have the time to play with the children."

Fang Qing knew that the son of their family was different since he was a child, let alone a partner of the same age, even if he was a little older than him, he respected him.But seeing how old he was, he couldn't help but secretly laugh when he yelled like a child.Thinking of how he was at a loss when getting along with Yuan Jing, he deliberately said: "I think the prince is innocent and cute, and the emperor loves him very much. Anyway, we have nothing to do on the surface, so it's good to play with him."

Chu Yu thought to himself, if the emperor hadn't been spoiled, he wouldn't have raised the little thing so ignorant of world affairs. He was a rough man and never had much patience. Once he got angry, he didn't care what prince or noble he was, and he would bully the little thing when the time came. I am wronged, and I have to coax him endlessly.Thinking of this, he couldn't avoid it, and waved his hand: "Let's talk again. Have you started to do what I told you?"

Fang Qing immediately put on a respectful expression: "Young Master Hui, I'm already looking for it, but I couldn't find a good one in a hurry."

Chu Yu said: "It's okay, I don't think it will be needed for the time being, so let's look for it slowly."

Fang Qingying claimed it was, seeing that he seemed tired, so he didn't stay any longer, before leaving, he hesitated, and said again: "My lord, now we have no power and power in Beijing, and our family... is hopeless, If the crown prince comes to you again, why not answer him first."

Chu Yu put his hands behind his head, followed his words and recalled what he saw today, and felt more and more ridiculous that the emperor and the prince had completely different temperaments. He said lightly: "Fang Qing, do you think a fox can give birth to a rabbit?" Fang Qing " Ah," he said, obviously not quite understanding what he meant.Chu Yu also felt that his question was very strange, so he laughed and said: "It's just a casual question, you don't have to worry about it, go to sleep."

The next day, Yen Jing woke up very early, tossed and turned for a while, then lay down on the pillow, playing with the pearls hanging on the tent.Emperor Yan had previously explained that the crown prince was frightened outside, he was afraid that he would not sleep well at night, and he needed someone nearby to watch over him when he went to bed, so he made a fuss here for a while, then a small head got into the tent: "Your Highness , but are you going to wake up?"

The person who asked the question was Xiao Liu, Yuan Jing's close palace servant. He was about the same age as the crown prince, and he was usually clever and witty. Therefore, the people who served in the Tai Tai's womb changed several times, but he was the only one who was always spared.

Yuan Jing put his face on the back of his hand, looked at him for a while, beckoned him to come over, imitated Chu Yu's way of treating him, rubbed his little head, and pinched his face: "Oh."

Xiao Liu lay on her stomach obediently, with a panicked expression on her face, she asked, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Yuan Jing withdrew his hand, and said distressedly: "I have taken a fancy to a man, and I want him to enter the palace, but he refuses to accompany me."

Hearing this, Xiao Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to herself, it would be better if she wanted to run around again, and squeezed his shoulders flatteringly: "Is he the eldest son of General Shenwu? It's his luck that His Highness likes him, he is so ungrateful ?”

Yuan Jing didn't bother to talk, he was used to the wind and the rain, and when he couldn't get what he asked for, he sighed again: "Alas!"

Xiao Liu has been by his side for a long time, she has never seen him preoccupied with anything other than having fun, so after thinking about it, she gave him an idea: "The prince is called directly to the palace, he dares to resist the order Is it?"

Yuan Jing buried his face in the pillow, and after a while, he whispered, "I dare not, I'm afraid he will spank my ass..."

Xiao Liu was stunned, and raised her voice steeply: "This man is so courageous, he dares to attack the prince!" For a moment, he thought, what if the emperor knows about this?

Yuan Jing also knew that talking about this matter would cause trouble for Chu Yu, so he just said: "I didn't hit or hit, I just said it casually." He heard another voice from Xiao Liu in his ear, and interrupted him fiercely: "OK Come on, don't bother me."

Xiao Liu weighed his words, and couldn't figure out whether it was true or not for a while, but after a while, she said cautiously: "The emperor said that he will accompany you to have breakfast after the court, and now the time is coming, shall we get up first?"

Yuan Jing was bored for a while, and replied in a nasal voice: "Yes."

He was so tired last night that he didn't pay attention to other people. When he was dressing, he saw that the nurses serving him were all unfamiliar faces, so he asked a casual question, and Xiao Liu said with ease: "It's time to go to another palace." Yuan Jing didn't know the palace. There is no such practice in the book - he can only hear what the emperor wants him to hear, not to mention that the people in the empress's womb always come and go, and they are replaced every now and then. He has long been used to it, and said "oh", I will not ask any more questions.

Another half an hour later, Emperor Yan came against the wind and snow, he slept soundly last night, looked very good today, smiled and touched Yuan Jing's face: "Yes, the swelling has subsided, does it still hurt? Seeing Yuan Jing shaking his head, he said to Liu Lin with satisfaction: "The Imperial Medical Office has done a good job."

Liu Lin responded sensibly: "Yes, the reward is ready."

Emperor Yan took Yuan Jing's hand and led him to the dining table, and waited for the court ladies who were still eating to taste one by one, and served him dishes with his own hands.Yuan Jing didn't say a word, he grabbed a crystal shrimp dumpling and poked it back and forth, until all the shrimp was poked out by him.Emperor Yan glanced at Xiao Liu, who patted his heart quietly, and waved his hands again.Emperor Yan moved Yuan Jinglian and his stool to his side, and the father and son stuck together affectionately.Emperor Yan asked him: "Why is Jing'er unhappy?"

Yuan Jing was eating something, and said vaguely: "I'm not unhappy." The voice was low and long, obviously duplicity.Knowing the son is Mo Ruofu, Emperor Yan looked at him for a moment and asked, "But it's about that kid from the Chu family?" Yuan Jing raised his head to look at him, although his lips were pursed, words could escape from his eyes.Emperor Yan was almost responsive to his requests, wishing to pour all the wealth and splendor of the world on him, seeing this wronged look, he was startled, and straightened his hair on his forehead: "Like him so much?"

Listening to his tone, Yuan Jing knew that there was hope, nodded repeatedly and said: "Well, he is good at kung fu, and he is also stable. This son-in-law seems to be better than those in the palace."

Emperor Yan said: "It's not a difficult task, as long as you agree." Although he relaxed, Yuan Jing was still a little worried: "But elder brother doesn't want to." Jing'er take a good look at it, father taught you what an imperial order is hard to break."

Yuan Jing was very happy at first, but after hearing this sentence, he felt uneasy for some reason, and said vaguely: "If he really doesn't want to, then forget it."

Emperor Yan smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat obediently."

In the morning of the next day, an edict was sent to the Chu Mansion, ordering him to enter the palace the next day.Fang Qing held it and read it several times. Seeing that the jade seal was stamped on it, and there was also the seal of the second province of Zhongshu under the door, which obviously had a different meaning than usual. I really like the boy."

Chu Yu lazily said: "How can that little thing have such courage, it's probably the emperor's intention."

Fang Qing seemed displeased to hear him, and persuaded: "My lord, after all, His Highness is the future emperor and the master of the world. It is always useful for us to have a good relationship with him."

Chu Yu was silent for a moment: "Forget it, the matter has come to this, and I can't shirk it, let's play with him for now." Then let Fang Qing look for some small gadgets that are unique to the folk, and plan to use them to fool people when they entangle people. fool.

At dawn on the second day, Chu Yu came with an edict.Unexpectedly, there was already a group of soldiers lined up outside the Daqing Palace. He glanced over and found that the leader was Zhou Dakuan, his father's capable general.He tidied up very decently today, his military uniform was ironed and straightened, and the coat of arms on his shoulders was polished as bright as a mirror, and he was holding a red leather treasure book with dark patterns in his hand.Zhou Dakuan heard the sound of boots behind him, turned his head, and met his eyes, but he was not surprised at all, and half-kneeled in military salute: "Young master."

Chu Yu frowned slightly, then swept around again: "Why are you here?"

Zhou Dakuan said: "The New Year's Eve is approaching, I was ordered by the general to send the New Year's tribute."

After Chu Yu was stunned, he spoke in a flat tone: "Really? When did you come?"

"It arrived yesterday."

Chu Yu's eyes were dim and uncertain: "Oh, they came with me." Zhou Dakuan lowered his head silently, his posture was very respectful.Chu Yu looked at him for a moment, and his tone seemed to be suppressing something: "Does father have something to tell me?"

Zhou Dakuan looked at him, hesitantly said: "Nothing."

Chu Yu's gaze became extremely cold and hard in an instant, and the corner of his mouth hooked up, revealing a smile without a smile: "Go ahead."

Not long after, Liu Lin came out of the palace in a hurry, saying that His Majesty is busy with things this morning, and I'm afraid he won't have time to see him, so he was invited to sit down at the prince's residence in Yanfu Palace first, and summon him in the afternoon when he was done.Chu Yu walked away at the sound, and when he turned around, his eyes became very indifferent. There was a lot of traffic around him, and there were many people who saluted and greeted him. He kept staring at the front and ignored anyone.

The fog is thick today, the inside and outside of the imperial city are covered in silver, and the white curtain is shrouded, and the palaces and palaces are all indistinct.Chu Yu didn't go to the Yanfu Palace, but for some reason, he walked to the quiet place with flowing water and mountains.The surface of the stream was frozen, and the cold wind blew over the water, making people feel chilly all over, except for a few red carps swimming happily under the ice.He looked at it coldly for a moment, then suddenly picked up a stone from the ground, stretched out his arms, and smashed it down hard. The ice surface that was more than an inch thick was instantly shattered, and after a while, two pierced red carps slowly floated up. up.

When he left home earlier, only his second brother came to see him off. Everyone knew that the future of this trip was unpredictable, but his father stayed in the camp all the time, and never came back to ask for a word.When he came out of the house, he took only two of his confidantes who had been with him since he was a child. Although he entered Beijing by order, there was nothing pleasant about the road.The people who sent the New Year's tribute to Beijing came one after another with him, but they didn't want him to know that the intention of abandoning the son was obvious.

He looked at the slowly swaying water, although there was still no expression on his face, the violence in his eyes had already burst out.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps coming from behind. Although the visitor deliberately relaxed his movements, Chu Yu had excellent ears, and he had already noticed the figure when it appeared.In addition to the sound of stepping on broken snow, there is also the crisp sound of gold and jade meeting, you can guess who it is without looking.Chu Yu didn't look back, and stood still with his face sinking like water.

A pair of small hands hugged him from behind, and Yuan Jing cheered like a bird: "I've caught you!"
