It's night, Chang'an.

Tai Chi Palace.

Prince East Palace.

De'an stood steadily, watching the young slave walking back and forth, and couldn't help but just want to persuade him, but he heard a loud laugh and said:

"You kid, I finally remembered my big brother!"

"Big brother!"

When the young slave saw Cheng Qian coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him. The two brothers have been familiar with each other since childhood, so they don't follow the etiquette, but the young slave crossed his hand, Cheng Qian patted the young slave on the shoulder, hugged him and said:

"What have you been up to lately? I don't see you by my father's side in the town. Is the wind disease better? Two days ago, the eldest brother heard that you invited that grandson Lao'er into the palace...... How is it? ”

"It's okay, just a few stitches." The young slave stroked his head with a smile and asked:

"How's the big brother?"

"What else? Every day is not only political affairs, but also political affairs. Nothing else. Come, sit. ”

The two brothers divided the guest of honor and sat down, and Cheng Qian was busy getting the chrysanthemum wine that had just been rewarded by Taizong, and said with a smile: "Our Li family boys should be spirits and songs." But I didn't expect that the chrysanthemum wine given by my father yesterday was very much the appetite of the eldest brother. From yesterday to today, I have drunk more than three jars. was scolded by your sister-in-law for not knowing moderation, and she wanted to hug the elephant several times. Haha......"

The young slave was angry and wanted to laugh when he heard it: "Big brother, you are already the prince of the country now, how can you still be so addicted to alcohol?" Not good. ”

"You, you...... Talking more and more like your sister-in-law......" Cheng Qian shook his head with a smile. As he was talking, he saw the crown princess Su coming with anger, and when she saw the childish slave too, she was stunned for a moment, relieved her angry face, and stepped forward and said with a smile:

"I feel strange, your eldest brother is also a talker, how can he be so unbearable, and he promised me not to drink today. As a result, I came to pour the wine again...... It turned out to be a young slave coming. ”

The young slave hurriedly saw her sister-in-law and asked if Xiang'er was okay. Su Shi said with a smile: "This kid is the most clinging to you." It's just that today because of the wedding banquet at his grandfather's house, the prince couldn't be separated, so he made a substitution. ”

The slave smiled: "The slave hasn't seen the elephant for a few days, but he also thinks about it." In the past few days, the young slave has nothing to do, and he is picking up old things in his temple, but he has found a few good things that were originally taken to him, but they are so unfortunate. had to be taken by my sister-in-law first, and then turned around and then transferred to him. ”

As he spoke, De'an smiled and brought two palace people forward to present a pair of small puppets inlaid with purple gold and jade, and another ingenious jade carved pony and other things.

Although the Su family is also a big girl, where can they compare to the young slave who was raised by Jin Jiaoyu from a young age? These things were all found by his uncle and eldest grandson Wuji in the past, or by his father Emperor Taizong, or by his mother Empress Wende. Not to mention the Su family, it was Cheng Qian, who was childish back then, and there were a few things that he was hot about.

Cheng Qian saw the jade carved pony at a glance, and said in surprise: "Isn't this the Zhou Chen (first birthday) gift that my uncle found with you from outside the plug?" Big brother can remember that you loved it very much back then, even if I borrowed it from Qingque, you refused to do it. Why is it given to the elephant today? Such a valuable thing, his child's house, don't fall it. ”

"Big brother is ...... to say this I was just a child back then......" The young slave smiled, and no matter what happened to the Su family, he just forced it out.

Seeing this, Cheng Qian had no choice but to let him go, and Su Shi was grateful to the uncle for loving Xiang'er so much, and after saying a few words, he used the excuse to prepare some delicious side dishes, leaving the two brothers to get along with De'an.

After three rounds of drinking, the childish slave had a plastic surgery and told the eldest brother what he had heard inside today.

Before the young slave arrived, he had already reported the matter to the East Palace with De'an, but Cheng Qian was not as angry as when he first heard it, but he only said lightly:

"This kind of people's hearts is enough. I was a fool and let them do it. ”

"Big brother, you are a filial son and a good person, but you are upright and can't tolerate the slightest suspicion from others. As Aunt Hua said, if the eldest brother suddenly hears this kind of discussion, I am afraid that he will be in a hurry to confess to his father, but it will be self-defeating. So ......"

"I really want to thank Aunt Hua." Cheng Qian said gratefully: "Since she was a child, she has taken such good care of the three of us brothers. It's just a pity that we are adults now, but we still have to worry about her. ”

The young slave shook her head and said, "Aunt Hua is like our second mother. You just don't want her to worry about it, and she can't help it. It's just that right now, what she cares about most is how you are good, big brother. ”

"How is it good? Naturally, he reported these rumors to his father and the emperor, and saw how he was good. The eldest brother took advantage of the trend again. ”

When the young slave heard this, he also felt that it was indispensable, but he said: "But my father's temperament is as anxious as my eldest brother." This kind of thing, it's still not good to say it directly to my father, it's better to ask the prince to tell it on my behalf, what does the eldest brother think? ”

"Among our three brothers, although you are the most benevolent and simple, whenever you encounter difficulties between brothers, you always think the most carefully and deeply. Just as you say! The eldest brother is the same as his father, he is an anxious son, but he is afraid that it will be bad if he plays rashly and makes his father unhappy. ”

Cheng Qian also agreed. So the two agreed.

Seeing that the big thing had been decided, the young slave was relieved and wanted to leave. However, Cheng Qian did not allow it, it was rare to see this most beloved little brother, and he had to drink happily together no matter what. As a result, when the Su family brought the side dishes, the two brothers were already so drunk that one of them couldn't find the East Palace Gate, and the other couldn't find the West Palace bed.

Seeing this, Su Shi had to be anxious and angry, and he was satisfied to help his personal maid Yu Yan to help the prince to rest, but he watched De'an and the palace people who came with him, helping the young slave to the east palace gate.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the East Palace, the young slave seemed to be sober, turned his head, and said to the Su family: "Sister-in-law, you have to guard more for the eldest brother in the future, I think such an East Palace is not very clean......"

Only then did he slowly leave.

When Su Shi heard this, he watched his uncle leave in a daze, and seemed to have an understanding in his heart.

……

In the second half of the night, the young slave woke up in a dream because of thirst, only to find that he had returned to the dormitory of the Manna Palace, and that he had changed his clothes by the people around him.

got out of bed, called De'an twice, but saw that no one answered, and walked out lightly to take a look, but saw De'an holding the dust, and he had already slept crookedly. Seeing that the weather was warm, he slept soundly, and had no worries about the cold, so he went to get tea to quench his thirst.

While drinking, I unexpectedly saw a brocade box on the table, and I was curious, put a cup, and opened it to see.

It's okay not to look at it, but it's overjoyed to see it, but it turns out that the dance costume has already been made. I was afraid that the palace people saw him sleeping, so they simply put this thing on the case, and asked him to inspect it tomorrow.

The young slave took it out and took a closer look, only to see that the clothes of Feng Yuluo were shining under the candlelight, and they were colorful and luxurious, which was really good-looking. The more I looked, the more I loved, and suddenly I had a thought, and saw that there was no one else in the hall except for Jin Wuwei at the door, so I simply changed into a robe with moon white and silver, tied a jade belt tassel incense bead on my waist, combed my hair indiscriminately, carried a brocade box, and put on a silk sky blue coat, and flashed out quietly, from a very secret passage next to the small garden behind the palace, quietly went out of the Manna Palace, and went straight to the apse of Yanjia Hall along the shadows of the corridors on both sides.

The apse of the Yanjia Palace.

It's already the fourth watch, but Mei Niang can't sleep, just in the yard, looking at the night sky bitterly.

I can't count how many such nights she can't sleep after entering the palace.

Thinking of the person outside the palace, there was a trace of melancholy on her face, but there was also hope.

When the young slave entered the apse, what he saw was a white dress bathed in the moonlight, hazy and gorgeous like a fairy in the moon.

He slowly stopped, staring intently. It's been a long time, but I can't come back to my senses.

It wasn't until Mei Niang unintentionally turned her head and saw a sky blue shadow standing in the moonlit field, her heart was shocked, and she whispered to him, that he reacted.

It's a pity that it was not only him who reacted, but also those Jin Wuwei.

Mei Niang heard the sound of shouting outside the hall, and saw that the blue shadow was actually a childish slave, so she hurriedly beckoned, and he hurriedly entered the hall and hid in the shadows behind the palace lamp.

Jin Wuwei rushed in, and Mei Niang only smiled lightly and replaced it with a cat. However, Jin Wuwei had to search for his duties. Mei Niang said that Suqin and Xu Hui had already slept, and the search could not disturb the two, and the people of the leader of Jin Wuwei saw her indifferently, and looked left and right, and there was indeed no one suspicious, so he should retreat.

……

"Come out! People are gone. ”

Mei Niang saw that Jin Wuwei had been away for a long time, and in the back garden of Yanjia Palace, there was no one except herself, and even her own palace and bedroom near the garden were only Ryan who was already sleeping at the moment and a personal maid Cuiyi, so she said softly to the place where the young slave was hiding.

When the young slave heard this, he calmed down the little liver that wanted to jump out of his chest, smiled innocently, picked up the brocade box, and moved forward step by inch.

Seeing his flattering smile, for some reason, Mei Niang remembered the puppy "Xiao Jin" that he gave her before - the youngest son of Ah Jin who was obtained by the immature slave from the eldest grandson Wuji - and couldn't help laughing: "Sure enough, who raises what baby...... Look at you, don't you look like that little gold? ”

The dignified Tang Dynasty and the third prince of the Tang Dynasty, the right military general, since he was a child, he was regarded by Taizong and Empress Wende as a palm bead, and the ministers regarded him as a beloved nephew, although he was benevolent and virtuous, but he was arrogant and arrogant......

really responds to the old saying: how many heroes have come, and they are all smiling and stupid.

Seeing him like this, Mei Niang was really helpless, so she had to walk out of the pavilion step by step and asked, "What are you doing in the middle of the night, you don't sleep, and you come to Yanjia Palace?" And such a big box was mentioned. Where is Dean? ”

The young slave looked at Mei Niang, who was dressed in white clothes and dragged to the ground, with black hair hanging down like a waterfall, and no decoration on his body, but because he was bathed in the moonlight, his skin seemed to be shining like snow, and his eyes were like stars lit up by Mei Niang, and he said dementedly: "De'an is asleep, I can't sleep, so I came here." ”

Mei Niang frowned when she heard this: "You can't sleep, what are you doing here with me?" Alas, I ask you, what's in that box? ”

Such a three-point coquettish and seven-point pretty, the young slave doesn't know how many times he has seen it, and he is always moved, but he is no longer like this night, which makes people shake emotionally and is difficult to hold himself.

It took a long time for him to suppress the flame in his chest and said softly:

"Sister Wu, it's going to be a big court meeting in two days. But I don't know what Sister Wu plans to dedicate to it? Is it chess, or is it dance? ”
