"Good royal brother, good imperial brother, I will get beautiful jade in the future to honor you, can you give me this beauty?"

Emperor Yan smiled: "I can't be the master, Da Sile wasted half his life two years ago and finally invited this son into the palace, at that time, it was a national funeral, and he was afraid of being wronged." Tonight I danced on the drums in the snow, if I go back and suffer from the cold, maybe I will come back to make trouble, how can I be greedy for those few pieces of beautiful jade and send them to your house? ”

Today's Da Si Le used to be an attendant of the first emperor, and because he was proficient in music theory, he once taught Emperor Yan to learn the music of the qin. After Emperor Yan ascended the throne, he worshiped as the Great Si Le, and was highly respected by Emperor Yan.

Since it's a big sler, there's no drama. King Rui pursed his lips and said regretfully: "It's a pity, such a wonderful person, alas, ......"

Emperor Yan looked at King Rui and smiled without saying a word.

Murong Jin stroked the plum blossom patterns on a few points, thoughtful. is so enchanting, it's actually a son! What kind of terrible character is it, so that Emperor Yan doesn't dare to touch him easily? It's not just because of Da Si Le, this attitude, but like a friend. What kind of inexplicable feeling is indescribable.

During the banquet, a few new songs were played, which was slightly new, but not very good. When it was about time, everyone had almost finished talking, so they toasted again, congratulated, and dispersed.

The hall that was so quiet that even the sound of the wind blowing curtains could be heard, and the snow outside the hall was trampled into a mess. There are only three people left in the palace: Emperor Yan, King Rui and Murong Jin.

After Murong Jin heard the last wave of footsteps fading away, he put on a fox fur and bowed to the two of them.

At this time, only Emperor Yan and King Rui were left.

The rest of the dining tables and mats in the temple were removed and looked even more empty. Murong Shu drank by himself, regardless of who else was in the hall.

Emperor Yan saw that his younger brother was like this, and he did not blame him, but only ordered the palace people to remove the eating utensils and wine utensils on the case, and took embroidered brocade strips to cover them, only to see the inner servant Zhao Jing holding a stack of paperwork and cinnabar wolf and walking over and carefully placing it on it.

Although the law of the Great Yan Dynasty stipulates that from Chinese New Year's Eve to the 15th Anniversary of the Death of the Dynasty, there are still many urgent documents that need to be processed. The sooner it ends, the sooner it is leisurely.

Murong Shu put down the wine bottle and looked at Emperor Yan. The young emperor looked intently at the watch, the wolf in his hand sometimes walked like flowing water, sometimes he couldn't stop, and the crown jade bead cast a dark shadow on his clear face, and his eyebrows seemed to be frowning, and it was difficult to distinguish his feelings. After pondering for a moment, Murong Shu said, "Imperial brother? ”

Emperor Yan raised his eyes, as if he was a little surprised: "Oh? It turns out that my long-term brother is still here! ”

Murong Shu grinned, sweet as a child, and as evil as a demon, "I want to ask the imperial brother for two more glasses of wine to eat." ”

Emperor Yan put down the watch in his hand and smiled with a smile on his face: "The wine is gone, don't you think you get drunk with me too many times?" ”

"Just a little ......" said and reached out to rub his fingers into a movement, "Really, just a little ......"

Emperor Yan couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this jade-like young man make such a move, and said helplessly: "That's it, I'll give you two jars of elixir to get drunk, and go back to spend the New Year with the people in your house." ”

When the young man heard this, he immediately jumped up from his seat, hurriedly thanked him, and said to the two attendants behind him, "Why don't you go with this king to carry wine." ”

Walking to the gate of the palace, he turned around as if he remembered something, took two steps forward, and bowed his hand solemnly, "The younger brother has retired first." Then he took two steps and jumped away, without the appearance of a prince.

Zhao Jing, the chamberlain behind Emperor Yan, couldn't help laughing when he saw it, and after catching a glimpse of Emperor Yan, he hurriedly covered his mouth silently.

Emperor Yan smiled: "What are you laughing at? ”

"The minion just thinks that His Royal Highness King Rui is so innocent and interesting, like a child." Zhao Jing told the truth.

Emperor Yan's face suddenly became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Naive? If he can deceive you at this age, then you are called naïve. After a moment of silence, he said meaningfully, "King Rui is a person—his heart is condemnable. The last few words were extremely indifferent, as if there was no emotion, but they were as cold as ice.

Zhao Jing couldn't help but feel frightened by this change, his body trembled, lowered his head, and stopped talking.

Emperor Yan looked at a few more books, but felt that his eyes were sour, so he put down his pen and asked the palace people to remove the paper and ink.

"What time is it?" Emperor Yan asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's past four o'clock." Zhao Jingdao.

Emperor Yan asked again: "Have you sent anything from the Floating Moon Palace?" ”

"As soon as the banquet is dispersed, the servants will send someone to send it, but I am afraid that they will arrive before the Fourth Highness."

"Hmm." Emperor Yan nodded, "Let's get ready to go over." ”

Zhao Jing raised his head suspiciously: "Your Majesty, the night is deep, the wind and snow are heavy, and the Fourth Highness has probably rested." ”

Emperor Yan smiled faintly: "It's okay, just go and have a look." Zhao Jing didn't want to say more, so he served Emperor Yan to remove the crown and change into regular clothes. didn't take a sedan chair, hugged the crane, and only let Zhao Jing hold an umbrella on the side.

The palace road was paved with a layer of white, and the sound of fireworks and fireworks bursting could be heard one after another. A light quickly rose into the night sky, drawing a beautiful arc, blooming and falling like a flowing fire in the slightly reddened sky, gorgeous and gorgeous. The smell of gunfire fills the air, making it seem that the surroundings are a little unreal.

Murong Jin stood under the eaves of the outer courtyard and watched a group of palace people frolicking in the courtyard.

This year, everything in the Fuyue Palace was delivered late, and when Murong Jin slowly paced back to the palace after retreating, he saw a group of palace attendants surrounding a pile of rewards and a few boxes of fireworks and didn't know what to do. He also asked Dongxian to classify the rewards, and after a while, only those boxes of fireworks were left. More than a dozen people looked at Murong Jin and waited for him to speak, all of them who were sent to this palace were fourteen or fifteen years old, it was the time to be playful, and they thought that it was the New Year after all, and it looked weird if it was too deserted, so they simply asked them to go to the courtyard to set off fireworks.

A group of people lit the incense but hid far away at the same time, pushing and shoving for a long time without moving.

Dong Xian saw that he felt both funny and helpless, so he went over and grabbed a person's long incense and lit the fuse, and then ran behind Murong Jin with his ears covered.

Murong Jin was still stunned, only hearing a few ear filling sounds, and his body couldn't help but shake. Dong Xian behind him pointed to the night sky and shouted, "Your Highness, look-"

Murong Jin raised his head and saw that the sky was full of splendor and almost illuminated the night sky, like a fire tree and silver flowers. The streamer came into his eyes, and his cheeks were slightly hot.

The corners of Murong Jin's mouth hooked up into a shallow smile, and he said happily: "Tell them to keep the last box." ”

Dongxian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately shouted to the people in the courtyard: "Don't finish it, keep the biggest box!" After speaking, he looked at Murong Jin and said with a smile, "Your Highness looks so good when you smile." "That's how much you should laugh and laugh like that.

Murong Jin smiled, didn't speak, and ran down the steps regardless of the heavy snow, tilting his head and closing his eyes. The fireworks burst into a bright red color, and snowflakes fell on the burning eyes and gradually melted.

And what Emperor Yan saw when he came in was exactly such a scene.

When everyone saw the comer, they didn't dare to be presumptuous anymore, and they were silent after saluting together.

Murong Jin looked at Emperor Yan for a long time before he stepped forward and said in a proper manner: "Father." ”

Emperor Yan smiled: "I didn't want to bother you, but I heard laughter outside and wanted to come in and take a look." ”

Murong Jin lowered his head and remained silent without speaking.

Emperor Yan only said helplessly: "That's it, I make you uncomfortable here, and the night is late, so don't go to bed too late." Then he turned and wanted to go.

He had already taken two steps, and heard the man behind him: "Father, the wind and snow have sudden, and the charcoal fire in the hall has been warmed, and the sons may not have spoken to their father for a long time." ”

Emperor Yan turned around and smiled: "That's fine." ”

Murong Jin said to Yigan Gong: "You guys continue to play, you don't have to keep it, don't be afraid of disturbing anyone, so many places are not bad here, just get up early tomorrow and clean the courtyard." He looked at Emperor Yan again, and did not object.

Everyone was busy thanking, and after the father and son left, they were stubborn, but they were inevitably a little restrained, and naturally they didn't dare to be like before.

Dongxian and Zhao Jing glanced at each other, and then waited in the distance, waiting for their master's orders at any time.

The charcoal fire in the house was burning brightly, and it was full of warmth.

Father and son sat down in front of the low table, looking at each other, but neither of them spoke. Although there are no words, the emotions in each other's hearts have long been understood.

Murong Jin looked at Emperor Yan. It's been three years, but it doesn't mean that you have forgotten that no matter what the man in white said is true or false, it will be different from the past. The city is destroyed, the blood is gone, and the men are dead. There was already a deep gulf between them, and after being filled with blood and tears, they could no longer cross it. He is a father and son, and he is also an enemy.

Emperor Yan looked at Murong Jin. Three years, the years have left many traces on this child. Slightly open facial features, unfathomable eyes, calm and firm steps, slightly immature but incomparably cold words. Emperor Yan also knew that the son in front of him was no longer the child who could be willful and spoiled in his arms before. There are so many things in his heart that even Emperor Yan, as his father, can't find out.

The two are relatively familiar, but they are also extremely strange.

Murong Jin eased his expression first, and said, "The son has been back in the palace for a long time, but because he is unwell, he can't ask his father for peace for a long time, and he hopes that his father will atone for his sins." ”

Emperor Yan said gently: "You are not in good health, you should have a good rest, how can I blame you." Is the imperial doctor too mediocre, I see that you don't look good today. ”

Murong Jin said: "The imperial doctor is very troubled about this, but the retainer is too angry, and he is cold from a snowstorm, and he can only have some strength after lying on the couch for a long time." After a pause, he said, "Erchen is extremely afraid of the cold, and the brazier in the house is half more than elsewhere, I wonder if my father can still get used to it?" ”

"I just came in from outside, and this time, it's just right." Emperor Yan looked in the direction of the carved screen and asked, "The one who followed you was still the one from three years ago?" ”

Murong Jin pulled out a smile: "When I first returned to the palace, I was still a little unclear about the things in the palace, but I didn't see anyone I knew, and I heard that he lived in Weiyang Palace, so I brought him back. It's also very clever. ”

"I see, I say it looks familiar."

Murong Jin said coldly: "No, he is the only one who is familiar to him, and the others don't know where they have gone." Father's ...... You know what? ”
