Ye Qinghong silently took the eldest prince's hand off his forehead.

"Brother Emperor. I'm really worried about you, just worry about me, this kind of thing is still a risk, in case the one in the palace has an opinion, I'm afraid she will probably want to trouble you. Alas, for half my life, I have always affected you and my mother. Ye Qinghong thought that he was sincere in what he said.

Ye Shengxia didn't feel that Ye Qinghong's words were sincere at all, but there was a little bit of a lost tone.

The eldest prince got up, walked to the courtyard, looked at the sparse stars and said: "You and my brother have been at least ten years now, what kind of character are you, what kind of character am I, everyone understands each other, after all, in the imperial city, sycophants and deceit, you say that you are a burden to me, I think that many brothers rely on one by one, you and I are not favored people, you see that I have been mixed in the barracks, you have been wandering in the market, is it really useless for the two of us?" That's definitely not, because our mother wants us both to be useless in the eyes of others. ”

As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, Ye Qinghong was about to open his mouth to explain, but was stopped by the eldest prince's raised hand.

"I know what you're trying to say. are all good men, who doesn't want to make a name for themselves, but the people of the heavenly family have the rules of the heavenly family, the father and son of the heavenly family are shallow, and the emperor is like this, you and I can save our lives for the time being, I want to take out a bloody intestine and lungs to show that person, I am really unintentional and unintentional, what kind of unification is the supreme place. ”

The words of the eldest prince are not Ye Qinghong's heart's words, really, what he has no intention of, but people think that you care, and you have to guard against you from time to time.

But it was useless for me to say more, for the man did not believe him. You see that your eldest sister-in-law married me and returned to her parents' house, and was often teased by her mother's family, saying that she could only be a princess willingly for the rest of her life, and it was still the life of her mother, what did your eldest sister-in-law think in her heart, I sometimes worry about it, fortunately, you married Qin Yao, as long as it is your favorite eldest brother, you will support it, so you must not say anything to the eldest brother, delay or not. As for the word "involvement", where to start. ”

As he spoke, the eldest prince looked back at Ye Qinghong, and under the sparse moonlight in the courtyard, the figure of the eldest prince seemed to pause.

In Ye Qinghong's memory, the eldest prince, his elder brother, many years ago, Rong Niangniang took the eldest prince to take him from his mother's palace to Rong Niangniang's palace.

At that time, the eldest prince was also a high-spirited young man, and whether he was studying, riding and shooting in the palace, the eldest prince was a leader.

However, the best should not be the child of a concubine who is not favored, there is too little favor from the heavenly family, and too little can be given to a young man.

Ye Qinghong knows his eldest brother's temper, if he is really angry, he will not help himself in various ways, these years, whether it is stealing chickens and dogs on the table, or being blackened for himself in front of Rong Niangniang or the emperor, even if he is hiding from the queen, the eldest prince has done it beautifully every time, and every time Ye Qinghong causes trouble, he runs directly to find his brother.

"Don't feel too sorry, in fact, since you got married and opened the house, I also understand that you think you are a man, and you do a lot of things by yourself, what are you busy with in the market on weekdays, I actually, I know a little bit, and my mother also knows a little bit, so we are actually very relieved of you, knowing that you live and think clearly." The eldest prince looked at Ye Qinghong and said.

"Since the eldest brother said so, I won't lie to you, to be polite, it's redundant for our brothers to talk about it, so why don't we brothers join forces and make a big plan to catch the people behind this matter one by one?" Ye Qinghong picked up the teacup and said: "Brother, then replace the wine with tea, and promise the eldest brother that everything is up to the eldest brother, this time, I will be obedient and cooperate with the eldest brother!" ”

The eldest prince looked at Ye Qinghong, then walked back to the table, picked up the wine glass, touched the cup slightly with Ye Qinghong's teacup, and raised his head to drink.

The brothers laughed together in the yard.

The eldest prince only drank a jar of plum brew, and Ye Qinghong didn't get a sip.

The two of them sat for a while, and the night slowly deepened.

"Big brother, big brother still remember when I was ten years old, when I was very naughty, that year, playing in the imperial garden, I had the courage to pick the peony flowers planted by the queen herself, the flowers are really beautiful, I remember very clearly, the flower branches and thorns, I carefully avoided the thorns and picked them, and gave the largest and most colorful one to my mother, and when I took the flowers to my mother's bedroom, my mother was frightened." Ye Qinghong fell into memories by himself.

"That's not, my mother didn't sleep that night, if you didn't come back in the middle of the night, my mother was going to go to the queen's palace that night to ask for sin, Rao is like this, the next day or take off the hairpin and take the thorn to ask for the guilt, the old palace people persuaded the mother to tell the truth, the mother was still reluctant to take you to go, afraid that you would be wronged, only said that he was playing in the imperial garden, and forgot for a while to pick the peony flowers planted by the queen, and he was not punished for copying the famous flower record, and he copied it fifty times." The eldest prince felt sorry for his mother and was about to do this, and his voice was full of regret.

"Alas. At that time, I knew that I was a troublemaker, but you and my mother didn't mind, and at that time I also knew that when something happened, I could only rely on myself and my eldest brother. As for our father, he can't count on it. ”

There was a lot of helplessness and sourness in Ye Qinghong's voice.

The eldest prince Ye Shengxia, looked at his younger brother, but he didn't dare to continue.

What the eldest prince actually thought in his heart was that he wanted to persuade his younger brother to understand that the emperor also had the emperor's difficulties, and the queen's mother's family had a deep foundation and was not an ordinary concubine. As the lord of the county, balancing various things between the former dynasty and the harem, being the emperor also has difficulties that he can't say. ”

"Let's eat the noodles, hurry up and disperse, I still have to take a good rest, you let Dr. Xu give you a good look, I will take Dr. Xu back to the Great Prince's Mansion early tomorrow morning, you rest early, I have to go back to the barracks early tomorrow morning to cheer up, take a good look at what those three people have confessed, in fact, I'm quite looking forward to it, I just want to know who is behind them, it's the current situation after tossing for a long time." While talking about the eldest prince, he rubbed his sore shoulder.

The eldest prince stood up and shouted, "Someone will make a bed and fold the quilt for me, I will have a good rest." ”

Steward Wu and his entourage had been waiting outside the courtyard, and when they heard the eldest prince speak, they hurriedly ran over a few steps, and Steward Wu stretched out his hand to help the eldest prince to walk towards the side room.

The eldest prince looked at Steward Wu, and then turned back to Ye Qinghong and said, "You also rest early, oh, by the way, as soon as you put away the letter, it is your reply to your brother and daughter-in-law, and Dr. Xu will send it to his brother and daughter-in-law tomorrow morning, although I still can't understand what the two of you have drawn each other, but you two are also quite interesting." ”

After speaking, the eldest prince staggered away.

The wind in the courtyard blew into the study through the pavilion corridor, and the letter from the lotus flower that Ye Qinghong had drawn before was placed on the table in the study.
