Chapter 53:
The emperor returned to Chaoyang City with the three princes and ministers, and the sun had already set in the west when they arrived. The golden sunset of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info dyed half of the sky red, and even the snow on the ground seemed to be coated with a veil, which was extremely beautiful.
After a few days of traveling, everyone was a little tired, the emperor ordered everyone to go home and rest, and there will be a palace banquet in the evening, which is an important part of the coming-of-age ceremony of the four princes, and the countries also sent envoys to congratulate, and the ministers can also bring their families.
When the cold fell back to Yuxuan Palace, the palace maid in the palace immediately took off the cumbersome clothes on his body, and the weight of the purple jade crown and hat on his head was not lightly pressed so that his neck was a little sore.
The emperor took the prince and the ministers to the top of the phoenix, but Ling Yun was too young, and he had no status in the court, so he couldn't go to the top of the phoenix.
There is a bath in Yuxuan Palace, although it is not as luxurious as the emperor's palace, it can also accommodate dozens of people, sitting in the water in the cold, with his eyes closed, and his face is quiet. Ling Yun held the gorgeous clothes and stood quietly behind the screen, and after a while, seeing that Ming Hanluo had not moved, he thought that Ming Hanluo was asleep, and hurriedly called him.
"Little master."
He just sat in the water and meditated, and although his body was tired, the water was indeed very comfortable.
"You don't have to serve me, there are palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, just leave it to them."
Ling Yun laughed jokingly. "The little master is sure to hand it over to the palace maid and eunuch, you won't let me help you take a bath after we have lived together for many years, if you hand it over to the palace maid, I'm afraid that the Fourth Highness will not be able to catch up with the palace banquet tonight."
Lingyun has been taking care of his daily life for many years, but he never let Lingyun change his clothes and bathe him, so it took a long time for Lingyun to learn to dress.
The sound of water came, and Ling Yun knew that he had gotten up, and the cold fell naked and walked out of the water step by step from the steps, and the water droplets slid down the porcelain jade-like skin to the ground to form a puddle of water.
After changing clothes, Ying Hanluo sat down in front of the mask and let Ling Yun wipe his hair for him, holding a handful of dark hair in his hand, Ling Yun's movements were soft and slow, which was not like him as usual.
"Little master, I heard that Xiu Chenyan broke into Chengfeng Mountain?" Stygian Han stared at Ling Yun from the mirror.
Since Ling Yun would ask, it means that he has a clear idea of what happened today. He had to praise Ling Yun for being very smart and well-informed.
Ling Yun looked at the cold and unchanged eyes from the mirror, and his heart staggered. "Why does the little master intercede for him?"
"Yun'er, don't ask if you shouldn't ask, don't think about what you shouldn't think."
"As far as the Fourth Highness is concerned, what are the things I shouldn't ask or think about?" Ling Yun put down his long cold hair and knelt down respectfully.
Shen Hanluo silently looked at Ling Yun's body with his head buried on the mirror, his sudden and polite behavior made Shen Hanluo realize that with the identity of this prince, the relationship between him and Ling Yun became rusty, Ling Yun would not be like a child in the purple bamboo forest, and he would be obedient and flattering.
"Yun'er, I want to go back to the Purple Bamboo Forest."
Dark Hanluo had already expressed to Ling Yun that he didn't want to compete for the throne, and Ling Yun understood his thoughts, but he still felt sad.
"Little master, do you know what your choice represents?"
"I know."
"I swear that even if I have half a point, I will never give up."
"Lingyun." Stygian Hanluo let out a loud sigh and stood up from the mirror platform, his eyes and teeth.
Ling Yun's thoughts are dangerous, and they are also persecuting the cold fall. Dark Hanluo was afraid that Ling Yun would do something irreparable and put himself in prison. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and there was a throbbing pain in his chest. His trembling body fell down and overturned the mirror on the table, which was fragile and shattered in an instant.
"Little master." Ling Yun was scared and immediately asked him to hold him, and the cold fell into his heart, pushing Ling Yun away, not wanting to ignore him.
"Little master, don't be angry. I...... I just ......"
Stygian Hanluo knew that Ling Yun was planning for him, but he didn't want to be the emperor, not to mention that he didn't have that kind of talent. Although Ling Yun is a little smart, he is still too immature and easy to be calculated. What's more, the cold fell on the court without any supporters, and for many years away from the political center, it almost made people forget that he still exists as a prince. It is not easy to suppress the emergence of several princes. Stygian Hanluo didn't want Ling Yun to get hurt, and he didn't want him to have too hard a life, because of this, he didn't want people to feel that their relationship was too close, after all, there was a huge family behind Ling Yun, and choosing the wrong supporter would even make the entire family disappear in an instant.
"Yun'er, do you know how dangerous your idea is? This throne is like a huge piece of bait, delicious and tempting, but if you bite into it, it will be cut in the throat and difficult to pull out. Since I was born, this game of struggle for the throne has begun, and the Yang family and the Chu family are the losers of this game. ”
The fate of the loser is that there will be no day to turn over.
The Ling family is already flourishing, and various forces are crisscrossed, and the so-called prosperity must decline, so it is necessary to keep a low profile at this time. Even if the emperor wants to suppress the forces of the Ling family in the future, as long as he can rein in his edge, with Ling Yun's cleverness, he can be safe for the rest of his life.
"I don't care."
"I care."
Ling Yun had reached an extreme point, and he was terrifyingly stubborn.
"Where did you put the lives of the rest of your Ling family? Have you asked them if they would like to go on an adventure with you? Have you heard of how brilliant the Chu family was in the past, it was not worse than your Ling family, Chu Yu...... Chu Yu was even often praised by major families and his father. Sometimes I ask myself, what is the purpose of my hatred for Chu Yu? Isn't the demise of the Chu family because of me? ”
Shen Hanluo began to laugh at himself, not understanding why he resented Chu Yu, but he couldn't let go of this hatred. Ling Yun stared at the self-mocking cold fall in amazement, his eyes lost their brightness, and he sat on his knees in a languid manner, suddenly losing his strength.
"But I'm afraid, little master, I'm afraid, I always thought that only by getting this throne would you be safe. Even if you are broken, I will not let others hurt you, what is a Ling family, I can ignore the lives of people in the whole world. ”
Dark Hanluo was furious by Ling Yun's words, he clenched his fists, his eyes closed, and he could only breathe heavily.
"Get out, get out."
This was the first time that Dark Hanluo was so angry, not only because he was disappointed in Ling Yun, but also because Ling Yun didn't understand his heart.
"What is this doing? Makes Luo'er so angry? ”
Dressed in gorgeous clothes, Shen Yaoyue walked over, followed by two palace maids holding trays, he heard the angry roar of Ying Hanluo from afar, the ground was full of broken lenses, Ling Yun knelt on the ground with a panicked look, and Shen Hanluo also sat fragile to the side.
Hearing the voice of the Dark Moon, the cold gradually relaxed his body, and the sudden relaxation made him feel the soreness of his whole body.
"Brother Huang."
Styx Bright Moon hugged Stygian Cold's body and helped him to sit on the soft collapse beside him.
"Why are you dressed so thinly? Still quarreled with Ling Yun? ”
Styx Bright Moon immediately took the coat from the palace maid and put it on for Styx Hanluo, although the warmth in the house was not so cold, but there was still a white expanse of snow outside the window.
