Chapter 3 There is wine and there is something to do
Three years ago, General Shenwu, known as the "Heavenly General", suddenly disappeared, and the people in the court were panicked, but the new emperor sent his ministers on the grounds that the general was leaving home to play. Everyone speculated that if it weren't for the sudden death of the first emperor and the establishment of the crown prince in the future, today's monarch must be the five princes who have made brilliant military achievements, the current Shenwu general King Yin, not the current emperor's three princes. But these two brothers and sisters are brothers, friends and brothers, and their biological mothers are the same person, so the five princes are unwilling to give up the throne, so they can only temporarily leave Kyoto to relieve their chest tightness. Of course, this is just the private speculation of the ministers, but no one will be stupid enough to confirm it. However, King Yin returned to Beijing yesterday, but the emperor ignored it, and today restored King Yin's position as a general, but he did not hold a celebration banquet for everyone, and for a while the courtiers couldn't guess what was famous between the two royal people.
As soon as he got off the court, he didn't wait for everyone to come forward to congratulate him, and the father-in-law who served the emperor came to pass the word, saying that the emperor set up a banquet in the imperial garden to spread the old days. Everyone was relieved that the emperor really just didn't want to be extravagant and not hold a celebration banquet.
King Yin leisurely while walking while observing the inner courtyard of the imperial city, carved beams and painted columns, splendid, or the same as before, did not build a new palace, the only change is that the imperial study in the distance and the emperor's bedroom are painted with new paint, it looks more majestic and solemn, turn the corner, enter the imperial garden and see the young emperor Helian Ye drinking alone in front of the stone table. On the head is a crown of hair that symbolizes the supreme power of the dynasty, half of the black hair is tied, half is left, the cold and hard face curve sets off the unique masculinity of the man, the black eyes are big and godly, which actually covers the domineering spirit that the emperor should have, giving people a sense of gentleness and cordiality, although it is similar to the appearance of King Yin, it is a completely different temperament.
"Brother...... "King Yin's fake knee bend and bow his waist.
"Alright, don't give me this. ”
"Invited me to catch up, but drank it before I came. As he spoke, King Yin took off his mask and sat down at the table and poured himself a glass of wine.
Helian Ye looked at this series of actions and quipped, "It's not too heavy to carry this thing all day long." ”
King Yin shook his head and drank the wine to himself, "Good wine, give it to me, I haven't drunk good wine for several years." He poured another glass. Maybe only in front of his own brothers, King Yin can let go of his guard a little.
"There are many more in the palace, I ordered someone to send a few altars to your house. The young emperor watched his brother drink with peace of mind.
"Okay. ”
"Don't patronize and drink, you haven't eaten yet, I'll ask someone to pass the meal. ”
"Good. After pouring another glass of wine, King Yin took the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the lotus flower in the pool, "This year's flowers are blooming very well." ”
Helian Ye didn't go to see the flowers in the garden, just quietly looked at King Yin who bowed his head and was drinking, was silent for a moment, and stopped talking until King Yin looked up at him, and then tentatively spoke, "Don't go...... Meet the Queen Mother?"
Helian Ye watched King Yin bow his head and drink again, without the slightest change in his expression, but the warm atmosphere between the brothers just now disappeared inexplicably in an instant. He thought that after three years away from the court, King Yin's tight string would loosen, but he didn't think about it...... Hey, he sighed softly, knowing that it was impossible, why mention it, it only made the old five sad.
Looking at the royal brother who kept pouring wine, Helian Ye was full of pity, and subconsciously opened his lips lightly, "...... quietly"
King Yin's hand holding the cup shook reflexively, what he hated most was hearing his name, and the wine in the cup trembled and splashed on the stone table, forming a transparent oval with a slight aroma of wine, standing still. For a moment, the air was a little cold, and the two brothers stared at the circle as if they were deliberately avoiding, falling into a deep silence.
The palace maids who came and went had lunch in the silence of the two.
"Brother Huang, let's get down to business. King Yin restrained his emotions and broke the silence first.
Helian Ye didn't dare to mention it again at the moment, suppressed the complicated mood in his heart, and his face turned serious, "You have been gone for three years, what have you gained?"
King Yin shook his head, drank a glass of wine, and said, "In the rivers and lakes, the one who holds the real power is the leader of the martial arts alliance, followed by the four major villages of the sun, moon and nebula, and the younger brother has explored the truth and the truth, but in addition to these four villages, there is also a mysterious Jade Flute Villa, and the younger brother also overheard someone mention it, and he wants to investigate further, but no one is willing to reveal it." The younger brother had sent Lu Xing to investigate, but he couldn't find anything. Until now, the younger brother has not figured out what its status is in the rivers and lakes. I've never seen such an impermeable wall!"
"Mystery?
"Brother Chen's thought so. ”
Helian Ye fixed his eyes on the empty wine glass in front of him, frowned and asked, "There is no other way?"
"There is one - Juyin Pavilion, the world's first news pavilion, specializing in news trading, the courtiers have made transactions with them, and the news is timely, accurate and detailed. But this Jade Flute Villa is so mysterious, the younger brother can be said to know nothing, if you go rashly, if Juyin Pavilion has the slightest connection with this villa, it is difficult to guarantee that the younger brother will not be exposed. ”
Helian Ye nodded in agreement, "That... It seems that we can only wait and see what happens. ”
"Yes. The younger brother has left people in Shengfeng to continue to inquire about the news. This Jade Flute Villa can be regarded as a problem encountered by the younger brothers. ”
"I see you, I'm quite interested in this villa. ”
King Yin silently lifted the corners of his mouth.
The two brothers haven't seen each other for a few years, and it's rare to talk about wine, but they still talk about national affairs.
King Yin returned to the palace full of wine, and fell asleep after drinking a cup of sobering tea. I haven't been drinking so freely for many years, and as a result, I don't know how to drink freely, I feel dizzy and hot, and I can't sleep very well. He dreamed that when he was a child, he met the Jian brothers when he was a child with his father, he dreamed that he fought in the north and south when he was still a prince, he dreamed that the queen mother smiled when the royal brother ascended the throne, and dreamed that he could not get rid of the guilt in his life.
King Yin frowned, his headache seemed to be about to crack, he twisted his body unbearably, and suddenly felt a coolness on his forehead, which was extremely comfortable, and he couldn't help moaning. groaned, and then another pair of hands pressed on his temples and pressed gently, slightly cool fingers, moderate strength, indescribable whole body was smooth, moved his body, and then fell asleep again.
Chen Ruo looked at King Yin, who was sleeping peacefully, and did not dare to withdraw his hand when his wrist was sore, afraid that he would wake up uncomfortably again, but at the same time complained in his heart: If the amount of alcohol is not good, you have to drink, drink so much, it is not you who is uncomfortable, and there is no one to do it for you, you are really asking for hardship, you deserve it, you deserve it.
When King Yin woke up again because he was thirsty, it was already late at night.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Chen Ruo sleeping on the side of the bed with his arms on his pillow. There was a basin of water on the ground, and there was a veil in the water. King Yin had a gloomy face, presumably what made him comfortable halfway was this basin of clear water and Chen Ruo's hands. He raised his left hand and rubbed his eyebrows, he thought that Lan Qi was serving him, but he didn't expect that outsiders would be so close that he would still sleep in a mess. He remembered the faint natural fragrance he smelled in a daze, which was light and light, and it was indeed not the faint fragrance of Lan Qi's body. If you can tell the difference for the first time on weekdays, it will really be a mistake for wine. He was already wary of this Chen Ruo...... King Yin turned his head, Chen Ruo on the side of the bed was sleeping unguarded, I don't know what he dreamed of, he raised the corners of his mouth in satisfaction, he chirped twice, King Yin squinted, if she was not simple enough to ignore the world, she would be scheming, but King Yin couldn't convince himself that this woman was innocent, simple and purposeless. The person who installed her in the palace would not be stupid enough to find such an angry person, and there is only one possibility left, that is, there is a deep and terrible scheming hidden under her perfect acting skills.
King Yin quickly raised his leg and kicked her left shoulder, Chen Ruo turned over and fell to the ground, his elbow slammed to the ground, and immediately became numb, and before he could get up, a basin of water under the bed was kicked over by King Yin again, splashing her all over, and the white handkerchief was wet and sticking to her shoulder.
"Who let you in, and this king's bed can also sleep on a subordinate like you?"
Chen Ruo suddenly didn't hear King Yin's roar, stood up, and quietly walked out of the room. King Yin looked at the mess all over the ground and fell into doubt, Chen Ruo didn't reply to his anger, and left directly...... Is this a tantrum in front of him? Has no one taught her how to be a good person? Or do you want to get away with it?
Chen Ruo dragged her stiff body back to the subordinate's room, without changing her clothes, took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed, her arms and knees were shrunk in the corner of the bed, her face was buried deep between her legs, and she sobbed in a low voice, in fact, she knew that all the subordinates might be treated like this by King Yin. However, how could she have been bullied like this, if it weren't for that person, she would have jumped up and scolded him for beating him, maybe she would have yelled to kill him, but it was that person who bullied her like this. I even wanted to kill her last time, the wound on my neck was not long yet, and today I kicked and splashed water, the more Chen Ruo thought about it, the more sad I became, that person, it must be because she liked him, made him feel disgusted, made him feel disgusting, didn't he also say disgusting last time!......?
