At this time, Chen Jinsong's face still had the meaning of caring for his brotherhood, and on his knife-like face, the scorching hatred emanating from his face was almost devouring Chen Jinye, Chen Jinye was frightened back by this cold gaze by half a step, he never imagined that one day, his eldest brother would look at him with such a gaze.

"Brother Huang, do you remember what you said in the Peony Pavilion back then?"

Chen Jinsong squinted slightly, his murderous aura was slightly restrained by half a minute, but the fist behind his back made a clicking sound of the joints closing.

Ten years ago......

At that time, Chen Jinye had just turned ten years old, not as tired of his mother as Chen Jinyun, he was the age of being naughty and mischievous, all day long in the queen's palace, either playing tricks on the palace people or hiding it so that his father and queen mother were easy to find, but other people, including his father and queen mother, were not as admired by Chen Jinsong, the imperial brother at that time was in Chen Jinye's eyes, he was a little more powerful than the general, he could always stand up when Chen Jinye was punished by his father, and he could also catch the most majestic crickets in the palace, so as long as there was a chance, Chen Jinye will escape from his mother's harem and go to the side hall to play with Chen Jinsong.

"Imperial Brother, Imperial Brother, are you there?"

Chen Jinye's immature voice drifted in from the window, Chen Jinsong excitedly opened the window in the inner compartment, and then pulled the little Chen Jinye into his room.

"Brother Huang, has my father grounded you again?"

Chen Jinsong, who was already sixteen years old, flashed a trace of sadness on his face, and then hid it well, and happily touched the miscellaneous hair on Chen Jinye's head, "Why are you free today?" ”。

"Brother Huang, the cricket you gave me the day before yesterday is dead, but I can't catch anything else......"

"Hahaha-", Chen Jinsong pinched Chen Jinye's little fleshy face even more vigorously, "It turns out that he wants to beg me for a cricket."

After that, he took Chen Jinye's hand and went all the way to the room, Chen Jinsong let go of Chen Jinye and rummaged in the room for a while, before finding a small jar from a small box in a large cabinet, Chen Jinye recognized the jar, it was Chen Jinsong's trump card big cricket, and many of Chen Jinye's small crickets died under its mouth.

"Brother Huang, I don't have any crickets next to me to fight with it, can you go with me to find another one?"

Chen Jinsong smiled and stepped forward to pat Chen Jinsong's little brain, "What do you want", and as he spoke, he sent his baby cricket forward, "This is my baby, and now it's yours."

"Brother ...... Emperor"

Chen Jinye looked at Chen Jinsong excitedly, his eyes were full of excitement, the imperial brother is the best, even such a powerful big cricket is given to himself, "When I grow up, I must follow behind the imperial brother and protect the imperial brother forever."

"It's a pity that I was grounded by my father today, otherwise I would have to go to the imperial garden with you to have a good time."

Listening to Chen Jinsong's words, Chen Jinye lowered his head slightly in frustration, yes, how good it would be if his father hadn't grounded his eldest brother.

Seeing Chen Jinye so lost, Chen Jinsong touched his brain again, and said gently: "I will lift the ban tomorrow, how about we meet behind the rockery at the entrance of the west corner of the Imperial Garden at noon?" ”。

As he wished, he agreed to meet and play with Chen Jinsong, Chen Jinye was very happy, so he stayed in his wing room for a while before leaving with the jar of the big cricket.

On the second day, Chen Jinsong waited for Chen Jinye behind the rockery early, and when Chen Jinye came over, it was almost noon, but Chen Jinsong never doubted that Chen Jinye would release his pigeons, because he knew that Chen Jinye would definitely come.

"Brother Huang!"

A childish sound came from not far away, Chen Jinsong smiled and looked back at the grass, and then leaned all the way to the tree behind the grass.

"Brother Huang, my father came to test my poetry and song early in the morning, and it was delayed for a long time."

Chen Jinsong was slightly stunned, my father had never asked me about my homework in person, and I thought that my father was the same to everyone, but it turned out that there was a difference between my concubines after all.

"Brother Huang, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I'll take you to the Peony Pavilion, I heard from the palace people that the peony flowers there are blooming on the head"

"Hmm"

So, Chen Jinsong led Chen Jinye all the way quietly to the peony pavilion, the blooming peony flowers are delicate one by one, and thousands of pink petals are clustered out of such a flower, and now thousands of peony flowers are blooming in front of him, as if he is in a fairyland and a dream.

Chen Jinye rushed out of the pavilion to wander and play among the flowers, and from time to time he squatted down to dig up the loess, the beauty of the peony flower had long been forgotten by Chen Jinye, and he wanted to catch a few crickets like Chen Jinsong to play.

"Xiao Ye, the imperial brother is going to leave for Guanwai tomorrow"

Chen Jinye raised his head suspiciously and looked at Chen Jinsong in the pavilion, "Where is Guanwai?" ”。

Chen Jinsong laughed a few times, "Outside the gate, it is far away from Wang, very far away."

"Far away? That Ye'er doesn't want the imperial brother to go", as he spoke, Chen Jinye rushed over from the flowers and grabbed Chen Jinsong's sleeve firmly, with a faint tear in his eyes, and his mouth was deflated as if he would cry out at any time.

Chen Jinsong touched Chen Jinye's forehead slightly, "Silly boy, it's not like the imperial brother won't come back."

Chen Jinye looked up at Chen Jinsong with tears in his eyes, "When will the imperial brother return?" ”。

"Next year, the royal brother will return"

"Then will the royal brother still catch crickets with me then?"

"Naturally"

"Will the imperial brother still treat me like this?"

"Haha - the royal brother will naturally treat you well, and will always treat you well"

"Brother ...... Emperor"

——

The memories of childhood are still deeply echoing in the minds of the two, but this situation is indeed like a ridicule of the past, Chen Jinye's persistence, Chen Jinsong's paranoia, and everything in the past has been reduced to dust.

Childhood? Who can truly live forever in the past......

Chen Jinsong sneered and then locked Chen Jinye's eyes fixedly, the two of them had been opposing each other for a long time, Chen Jinye lowered his head slightly sadly, and said slowly: "Brother Huang, I have always been the most respected person in Xiao Ye's heart."

"Respect?" , Chen Jinsong repeated, as if he had heard some great joke, jokingly snorted a few times.

"You came all the way to the vassal palace of this king, don't you just want to point out that the king is not good enough, and how can you say that you are respectful, it's just your excuse"

Chen Jinye frowned and hurriedly paced a few steps forward, the glittering light in his eyes faintly stung Chen Jinsong, Chen Jinsong turned his back again and again, but he laughed bitterly in his heart and mocked himself, in this world, is there anyone who will cry for himself.

"Big brother, Xiao Ye's respect for you can be seen by the sun and the moon, and Xiao Ye has never said anything false to his eldest brother."

Chen Jinsong slowly closed his eyes and breathed deeply, what is the brotherhood compared to the death of his biological mother? He will never forget how his mother told him how Zhen Hong forced her into the abyss step by step.

If his mother was still there, maybe he would still talk to Chen Jinye about the bitterness of these years at this time, but his mother was no longer there, and it was because his biological mother and his father who had never looked at him directly, how could he let go.

Thinking of this, Chen Jinsong suddenly opened his eyes again, his eyes were full of coldness, respectful? Heh, it's all.

"You said you respect this king?"

Chen Jinsong turned around on the spot, the corners of his mouth turned up, and the bridge of his nose seemed to be ready to merge with the lip flap below at any time, and then swallowed the person in front of him.

"Then would you like to cut off your arm and prove that your 'sun and moon can be learned'?"

Chen Jinye's heart tightened, he couldn't have imagined that even if he recalled the past so emotionally in front of the imperial brother, he would treat himself so ruthlessly, could it be that the imperial brother he respected had really become a complete demon? He didn't want to believe it, but he seemed to have to.

Thinking of this, Chen Jinye bit the meat in his mouth tightly, until the smell of blood spread in his mouth, and then gradually loosened his mouth, his chest rose and fell slightly to calm the grief in his chest, and then tried his best to make his mouth as peaceful as possible without trembling.

"Brother Huang, if the project on the banks of the Xicheng River is not completed, this Xicheng will be under the threat of flooding one day, aren't you worried?"

"Floods? Hahaha - the flood threatens the lives of some untouchables, and this king doesn't care"

At this time, Chen Jinsong laughed like madness, which deeply hit the bottom line in Chen Jinye's heart.

"You don't care? They are your people! ”

"People?"

Chen Jinsong approached Chen Jinye step by step, and then slowly approached Chen Jinye's ear, and said leisurely like a messenger from hell: "That's your people."

Chen Jinye tried hard to suppress the anger in his chest, and his chest fell together for a long time before he said in a trembling voice: "What about you?" You also live in the West City, so you are not afraid that the water will flood the vassal king's mansion and bring you in? ”。

Chen Jinsong saw that Chen Jinye was already forcibly suppressing the anger in his chest, so he succeeded in laughing a few times, and then slowly paced to the Taishi chair and slowly sat down, and then looked at Chen Jinye very playfully, until the trace of anger in Chen Jinye's eyes was tired of him, and then he lazily said: "When the time comes, don't you know?" ”。

Chen Jinye was extremely angry, and felt that he could no longer use ordinary people's thinking to talk to him anymore, so he immediately lowered his throat, "In that case, the prince ordered you to return all the craftsmen's tools."

Chen Jinsong glanced at Chen Jinye obliquely, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked silently, and then he looked out the window, twilight was already there, and the night was coming......
