When Xiao Zan was young, he could be regarded as the most beautiful man in the Eastern Capital. The first emperor was alive that year, and Xiao Zan, who was the eleventh prince, was the most favored by the emperor. The spring breeze is proud, and the spirit is high.

But just when everyone bet their chips on him, there was the bad news of the death of the first emperor.

What's even more incredible is that the edict of the first emperor passed on to Xiao Sheng, the seventh prince, and was assisted by Shangguan Feng, a scholar of Longyuan Pavilion University at that time, to assist the new emperor.

Once ascended the throne ninety-five, the prince went east and west from then on.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and Shangguan Feng soared so far, becoming the prime minister of the Dashuo Dynasty.

Xiao Dongli frowned and looked at Xiao Zan, who was getting closer.

The years have left indelible marks on this frustrated man, if he was about to move many years ago, then today he is extremely decadent, and he only knows that he is drunk and unconscious.

The originally handsome young man, after the turmoil of the throne and the turmoil of the imperial court, with the passage of time, now his body has been blessed, but his face can vaguely see the demeanor of the year.

"Eleventh Emperor Uncle." Xiao Dongli sat in a wheelchair and bowed respectfully.

"Oh, the third child is back." Xiao Zan staggered, and suddenly pushed away the slaves around him who were supporting him, and staggered to Xiao Dongli. Drunken eyes looked at Xiao Dongli hazy, "Why do I think it's different when you come back this time?" ”

He burped.

Xiao Dongli gently pressed his fingertips against his nose, this sour smell was really not very good, and even Qingmo on the side lowered his head a little helplessly.

Suddenly, Xiao Zan seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly sat on the railing. Startled, the people next to him hurried to help, for fear that he would turn back and plant his head directly out of the corridor.

"Why are you sitting still?" Xiao Zan asked drunkenly.

Xiao Dongli looked at his legs, and then looked at Xiao Zan, his tone was surprisingly calm, "Uncle Xu has been in Ganzhou for a long time, and he only knows that he is drunk and dreams of death, but he doesn't know the situation in the eastern capital. ”

Xiao Zan reluctantly looked up at Qingmo, "Qingmo, come on!" What's going on? ”

Hearing this, Qingmo lowered his eyes, "The emperor was assassinated while hunting, and the third master suffered a heavy injury to his legs in order to save the emperor." He didn't go on, but everyone knew it.

Although Xiao Dongli is gentle on the surface, he is actually a very stubborn and strong person.

If he didn't really stand up, he would never let himself be saddled with the name of being crippled. How can a dignified seven-foot man be in the company of a wheelchair and linger on the sickbed. He is the number one sword qi in the world, but now he can only ......

"That's good." Xiao Dongli glanced at Xiao Zan, then lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, "Uncle Huang, let's go to the flower hall to talk!" ”

When the sound fell, Qingmo willingly pushed him back to the flower hall.

Behind him, Xiao Zan stumbled and followed, full of alcohol.

When it came to the flower hall, Qingmo withdrew with everyone.

In the empty flower hall, only the uncle and nephew were silent.

"What does the life and death of the emperor have to do with you? Why did you exchange one of your legs for his life? Xiao Zan sat upright, holding his head in both hands, so that he could not see his complexion clearly. It's just that this tone seems to be drunk but not drunk, with a little blame and resentment, and there is also sadness that is difficult to hide.

"He is the emperor, he is my father, how can I turn a blind eye?" Xiao Dongli replied calmly, took the cup on the side, and slowly tasted the tea.

Xiao Zan raised his head and smiled sarcastically, "When he killed someone, why didn't he remember that you were his son?" When he abandoned you and left you to fend for yourself, why didn't he remember that there was a third prince? A companion is like a tiger, but the tiger is poisonous and does not eat children! Hehehe...... Tiger poison, he is more than a tiger. ”

Xiao Dongli was still pale in his complexion, and there was no wave in his eyes, "Who is to blame?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zan was stunned, and was about to get up, but because of his physical strength and the strength of the wine, he suddenly collapsed to the ground. As if he was used to such casualness, Xiao Zan simply lay on his back on the soft carpet and laughed stupidly, "It's just that I am the emperor." ”

"Even if it's not the emperor's family, won't it be like this?" He asked.

Xiao Zan didn't answer.

Xiao Dongli sneered, "Ordinary people's families, if there are three wives and four concubines, it is not intrigue." In this world, only single-mindedness can avoid these things. It's a pity that the world is greedy and people's hearts are insufficient. He paused and looked at Xiao Zan teasingly, "If everyone could think of what happened later, maybe they wouldn't be so indulgent." It's a pity that there is no if in the world, and many people and many things, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change. ”

Xiao Zan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep, but his lips trembled more and more.

The corners of his lips twitched, and there was an incomparably sad feeling.

I want to cry but can't, but I want to laugh but I have no reason to laugh.

Qingmo came in quickly, and when he saw Xiao Zan's appearance at first glance, he was not used to it, so he saluted as usual, "The third master, the eleventh prince, the county lord of Yuanyang is here." ”

"Why is she here?" Xiao Dongli frowned, "Help the prince up!" ”

"Why can't I come? What my brother said is getting stranger and stranger! A crisp and pleasant sound, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, a shadow quickly stepped into the door.

Hanging eyebrows, hanging gallbladder nose, cherry mouth, sharp eyes, you can see the pungent color at a glance. Dressed in a navy blue embroidered hibiscus flower skirt, even the shawl on the outside is embroidered with obvious hibiscus.

In the flower hall, the county lord of Yunyang threw the shawl out directly, but fortunately was quickly caught by the maid on the side.

Seeing Xiao Zan lying on the ground, Qingmo was about to help, so she opened her lips and said to the maid behind her, "Liuying, let people take your father back, it's such a joke to be so rude in front of her brother." ”

"No need, just let Uncle Huang go to the side pavilion to sober up." Xiao Dongli raised his head and glanced at Qingmo.

Qingmo picked up Xiao Zan on his back and walked out.

"Liuying, you all go down, I have something to say to my brother." Her tone is unmistakable.

The woman known as Liuying quickly led everyone back.

After everyone left, she stepped forward quickly, "Brother, what's wrong with your leg?" ”

"It's all gone, so you don't have to ask again." He treated it indifferently.

"No way!" She pursed her mouth, "I can turn a blind eye to other people's affairs, but I will not give up on my brother's affairs." This leg, but it is rumored outside, for the emperor? Even if he is the emperor, what can he do? You have lost a pair of legs for him, why does he still drive you out of the Eastern Capital? Such a ruthless and righteous father, you don't want it! ”

Xiao Dongli slowly raised his head and stared at her face expressionlessly, "Yue'er, this is the end of this." ”

The county lord of Yuanyang - his full name is Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue sneered twice, "I can't leave my brother, but people don't like you at all." ”

"What do I want others to do? There are so many people in the world, if everyone is rare to me, can I be busy? "He lives for himself, for ......

Hearing this, Xiao Yue was stunned and speechless.

Sitting down silently, Xiao Yue quietly looked at Xiao Dongli in front of him.

The eyebrows are still the same, and the face has not changed.

The black hair that has always been casually draped, the gold ornaments on the forehead as always, and the ...... Facial expressions with little mood swings. She sat on one side and looked at his face, the delicate contours of the face, with an indescribable temperament in fortitude. The long eyelashes are like black crow feathers, always habitually half-hanging, and there is a mottled silhouette on the face.

That kind of calm expression, as if everything in the outside world has nothing to do with him.

Whether it was him before or at the moment, he is always quiet and reassuring.

But the majesty and coldness emanating from his body teach people not to approach easily.

After being silent for a while, Xiao Yue said, "Brother Li, I heard that when you were in the Eastern Capital, the emperor gave you a marriage to Miss Nian, but you refused to obey and went to the noon gate?" ”

Xiao Dongli put down the cup in his hand, "Since you all know, do you need to ask more?" ”

Xiao Yue swallowed her saliva, her face was slightly ashamed, "Brother Li, why don't you want to marry the young lady of the Nian family?" I heard that Miss Nian's appearance is very good, and she is a famous family, although it is the home of military generals, but the emperor is also quite important. It's good for you! ”

"Or, is it that my brother doesn't look down on Miss Nian, or does I have someone in my heart?"

Xiao Yue almost pursed her lips and said with a smile.

The joyful expression, as if eating honey, his eyes were slightly constricted, and he didn't dare to look at Xiao Dongli directly.

Xiao Dongli frowned slightly, glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and then sneered lightly, "Whatever you want!" ”

Seeing that he was so indifferent, her words were clearly given to him under the stairs, how could it ...... Xiao Yue's face was a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth, and said after a long time, "Do you really have someone you like from my brother?" Or is it, as rumored to be, that ...... That Shangguan Jingyu, the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? ”

Hearing Ah Jing's name, the movements in his hands were slightly sluggish, his eyelids were slightly raised, his eyelashes were slightly raised, and he was still playing with the soft steel wire in his hand as if nothing had happened, and he was still silent.

"Is it really her?" Xiao Yue got up suddenly, her face flushed, "Leaving my brother, she is the second imperial concubine, the emperor's daughter-in-law." ”

Xiao Dongli responded with a smile, "It's a daughter-in-law." ”

"She's your second sister-in-law." Xiao Yue added.

He looked up, "I don't need to be reminded, I know very well. ”

Xiao Yue seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "Since I know it from my brother, I must also know how powerful it is, so Yue'er won't say much." As she spoke, she looked outside, it was getting dark, and then she squatted down in front of Xiao Dongli, and gently put her hands on his knees, "Brother Li, it's rare for you to come back, I want to accompany you more, so today, I'll ...... Can my dad and I stay? ”

Xiao Dongli looked indifferent, "Stay?" ”

Xiao Yue nodded expectantly.
