In the second year of Xianqing, the current emperor designated Luoyang as the eastern capital, and repaired the Luoyang palace extensively, so that the palace city was full of halls and towers, and it was as magnificent and majestic as Chang'an City.
The river produces pictures, Luo produces books, and the sages follow.
The three generations lived in Heluo. The older the emperor was, the more he liked to live in the Luoyang palace for a long time, but it was the first time in several years that he took the prince to travel with him.
—The prince is more sad. The sweetheart died, the palace was burned, and the brother Shan, who entrusted his life to his caring heart, now only has a stern face. There is a feeling of suffocation.
Therefore, when I came to the luxurious palace full of peonies, I felt refreshed, and even the coughing up blood that had been intermittently throughout the winter was greatly relieved.
The Holy Majesty was very pleased to see it, and held a night banquet in Linzhi Palace that night, and the monarch and his ministers had fun together, enjoying it harmoniously.
However, the officials are not fools, and they all know why the Holy Majesty is so festive - once the prince is in good health, he will be able to sit in Zen.
It cannot be said that the current emperor is not a benevolent king, but he is too benevolent. In the early years, the old Guanlong family was cleared with the help of the queen, and then the government gradually became controlled by the queen, and she could no longer get it back; later, she lived in Luoyang for a long time, and the prince was in charge of the country. It fell into the hands of Dai Zhide, Zhang Wenguan and other important officials of the East Palace Party.
Therefore, in all political affairs, the queen, prince, prime minister and other forces are entangled back and forth, the efficiency is extremely slow, and they often make diametrically opposed decisions.
The emperor had a lot of headaches, and wanted to tidy up the court, but his head and eye diseases became more and more serious, so he finally had to give up, and waited for the prince to take the Zen seat as soon as he recovered, and become a noble and leisurely emperor.
The prince put the wine cup on the table and said, "Reward!"
Shan Chao couldn't help but patted the prince on the shoulder: "Your Highness, drink less."
The prince actually didn't drink too much, but the wine is not intoxicating and everyone is drunk. At this moment, his face was flushed, he waved his hand to indicate that it's okay, and then turned to his courtiers: "Who is that woman playing the pipa?"
The singers and dancers at the banquet were all presented by wealthy households in the local government in Luoyang. The pipa girl was dressed in plain clothes, with light gauze on her face, and there seemed to be endless tenderness in her eyes. The prince had already rewarded her twice, but Shan Chao really didn't realize how wonderful the pipa was played, he just felt that it was not as good as Xie Yun played the ditty when he curled up the leaves in the desert.
The beautiful eyes of the pipa girl circulated, and when she saw someone bringing the crown prince's reward, she didn't even look at it, and she couldn't get up to thank her at all.
Shan Chao finally found out why the prince drank his sorrows with wine - her facial features were actually quite similar to Yang Miaorong!
Shan Chao's heart skipped a beat, and he turned to look at Xie Yun.
At a banquet not far away, Xie Yun was wearing wide clothes and sleeves, tapping the edge of the table rhythmically with a sterling silver chopsticks, as if he was singing a chorus softly with his eyes slightly closed. This scene was exactly as painted in the palace banquet where the cups were mixed, and then he seemed to feel the scorching stare falling on him, and turned his head to look at Shan Chao.
"..." The two looked at each other for a moment, Xie Yun smiled provocatively, took off a carnelian ring from his hand and handed it to the waiter beside him, and ordered something.
Shan Chao suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in his heart.
Sure enough, a moment later, the servant hurried forward and presented the velvet tray with the ruby ring on it to the Pipa girl!
"Commander, this is..." Jin Xin said anxiously behind her.
Xie Yun smiled and sipped his wine: "Jin Xin."
"yes."
"If you are still performing arts on the street, and you meet the prince and give a reward together with me, who would you rather thank?"
Jin Xin looked at the thin and drunk prince not far away, and said with a broken smile: "It is said that men all over the world are greedy for beauty, but who knows that the most beautiful woman in the world is actually a woman? Do you still need to ask the commander this question?"
Xie Yun said: "That's right."
The servant whispered a few words to the pipa girl, the woman stopped her fingers suddenly, looked at Xie Yun with her beautiful eyes, then got up and gave a blessing, and gave a deep salute halfway across the hall!
Xie Yun smiled and nodded, very graceful, completely ignoring the eyes with different expressions around him.
Shan Chao took a deep breath and turned his face away without saying a word.
However, the crown prince couldn't stand Xie Yun's blatant and deliberate provocation—the crown prince was a little drunk at first, and now the old and new hatreds are surging at the same time, but because the emperor and empress in the hall couldn't turn their faces, they had to "bang!" He dropped his chopsticks with a sound, got up and left the banquet without looking back.
Shan Chao shouted: "Your Highness!"
"No...it's okay," the prince clenched his teeth and said reluctantly, "I'll go back to the bedroom to sober up, and I'll be back later."
Why is the prince so unstoppable? Shan Chao felt helpless in an instant. The situation is very sensitive right now, he was hesitating whether to catch up and follow the prince closely, when his movements suddenly stopped.
At this time, the singing and dancing in the hall was suspended, and a new round of dancers came in scarlet clothes, and the pipa girl and her sisters thanked the empress together, and bowed out of the hall.
Xie Yun cast a seemingly inadvertent but profound glance at Shan Chao, and then got up and left his seat, and walked towards the exit on the other side of the hall!
Without even the slightest hesitation, Shan Chao immediately turned his head and asked the deputy general of the Habayashi Army to follow the prince, while he quietly left the banquet.
Outside the main hall is a winding corridor, which leads directly to the side hall and warm pavilion in the distance. Shan Chao chased for a few steps, but Xie Yun's figure had disappeared in the depths of the corridor. He pushed in one door after another, and it took him half a stick of incense to find it before he suddenly stopped.
Through the window paper gap of the carved wooden door, Xie Yun sat facing him in the armchair, and the pipa girl knelt on the ground, her fragrant shoulders half exposed.
Shan Chao took a deep breath and slammed the door open, only to hear Xie Yun casually smile and ask, "—Jiangnan? Is your family from Yangzhou?"
Shan Chao strode into the Nuan Pavilion, and Pipa girl turned her head to catch a glimpse of his livid face, "Ah!" exclaimed!
Without waiting for the melodious cry of a warbler to fall to the ground, Shan Chao dragged the singing girl like a chick, drove him out of the room, took out a piece of gold from his pocket and stuffed it to her, politely said: "Miss, Your mother is looking for you, it's time to go back."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for the panic-stricken singing girl to answer, she slammed the door of the room.
"Rebellious," Xie Yun leaned on the wide bench, with a slender and powerful hand resting on his chin, and said with a lazy smile, "He dares to interrupt me even when I'm having fun with my teacher. What a rebel, I'm not afraid of being dragged out." Fifty lashes?"
Shan Chao suddenly picked Xie Yun up from the bench, leaned against the wall, and pinched his chin. The distance between the two was not more than an inch, and Shan Chao was taller, with a gloomy and calm expression, looking down into Xie Yun's eyes slightly: "Is this called a traitor?"
Xie Yun mocked, "What do you want to do?"
"There's something even more perverse," Shan Chao whispered close to his ear, and suddenly pushed Xie Yun against the wall!
Xie Yun let out a muffled grunt, his thin back pressed against the wall, the front of him was tightly pressed by Shan Chao, there was almost no room for struggle, and then he was blocked by the man's young and fiery lips.
This is a ferocious, ferocious and possessive kiss like a beast, because it is too eager and even painful, as if it wants to devour the other party every inch of blood and flesh. Xie Yun's eyebrows furrowed, and he gasped intermittently between kisses. The voice was full of depression, and his lips were soft and congested due to repeated ravages, which was enough to make the whole body's blood boil.
"So impatient?" Shan Chao forcibly separated Xie Yun's thighs with his knees, and dawdled menacingly, whether he was laughing at him just now or now: "Can't wait even a moment, are you going to do it here?"
Xie Yun turned his head, but Shan Chao reached out and grabbed the hair on the back of his head, and kissed the side of his neck obsessively.
The skin behind his ears was delicate and cool, and there seemed to be a light and secret fragrance of some kind of flower in the skirt of his clothes, which extended all the way down with Shan Chao's kiss, and slipped down from his arms, revealing a large smooth and firm back.
Xie Yun raised his neck and said with a hoarse smile, "Who is the one who can't wait, huh?"
Shan Chao picked him up, took a few steps to the side of the soft couch in the warm pavilion and fell down. Then he stood on the ground with one leg, and the other knee pressed against his side.
This posture made Shan Chao condescending, pressed Xie Yunxu into his arms, and looked down at him tenderly: "It's me."
Xie Yun narrowed his eyes, showing no signs of struggling at all, and his meekness seemed to be seductive with wantonness and evil.
His appearance is really too confusing, Shan Chao is getting close inch by inch like a demon, but when his breaths are intertwined, something wrong suddenly emerges in the depths of his subconscious.
The singer who looked like an old friend, Xie Yun who suddenly made a provocative move, the prince who left the table in anger...
The muscles of the single super tense, and the movement stops.
But Xie Yun raised his head and approached, the ends of his slender eyelashes were almost attached to his cheeks, as long as he lowered his head slightly, he could easily kiss those moist and soft lips.
—Those thin lips always spit out all kinds of harsh and cruel words, but at this moment they are weakly opened slightly, and there is a slight glint of water due to excessive biting.
Shan Chao gasped heavily, stood up suddenly, stared at Xie Yun closely, and asked, "What are you planning?"
Xie Yun was startled, then laughed, and laid back leisurely on the soft pillow:
"Are you finally afraid, villain?"
The unstoppable male instinct made Shanchao's head hot, and the urge to conquer and invade roared in every inch of his blood vessels, but the keen intuition honed over the years in the battlefield made him feel extremely uneasy.
There seems to be a big net of conspiracy in the dark, and a hideous shadow is gradually emerging.
"... Xie Yun..." He murmured, as if thinking of something, the expression in his eyes suddenly changed, and he turned and rushed towards the door.
However, Xie Yun moved faster than him, and instantly put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, with his sleeves fluttering, and rushed out of the Nuan Pavilion in hot pursuit!

Hebi Palace.
The prince sighed and sighed for a long time in the hall, and suddenly heard King Yong's visit, so he hurriedly got up to greet him personally.
The prince and King Yong are brothers who are close in age, and they are both the objects of strong oppression by their mother. They have cultivated a deep relationship in adversity. When the crown prince left the banquet with a flick of his sleeve, King Yong knew that he must have been angered by the queen's faction, so he hurried over under the persuasion of the servant, and the brothers met with some relief.
A moment later, outside the Hebi Palace, the palace servants took a bowl of soup and hurried up the steps, but were stopped by Zhao Daosheng who was guarding the entrance of the palace: "What are you?"
The palace servants recognized that he was a popular servant next to King Yong, so they didn't dare to say more, and apologized with a smile: "The Queen of Heaven saw that the prince was provoked by Commander Xie, and left the table angrily, so she felt deeply disturbed, and specially apologized to His Majesty, and bestowed a A bowl of lotus seed and lily soup, hope the prince clears the fire and calms down."
Zhao Daosheng took the tray and said calmly: "His Royal Highness is talking with King Yong, wait for me to send it in."
The palace man dared not tell the difference, he lowered his eyebrows and walked away pleasingly.
After the palace servants turned and walked away, Zhao Daosheng took out a celadon bottle from his sleeve, opened it and sprinkled a little bright red powder into the soup.
—The powder dissolves in water, it is the thing that Xie Yun handed over to Jin Xin in Xie Mansion's study that day!
Senhan flashed across Zhao Daosheng's eyes, he turned and pushed open the door, he bowed into the hall with soup in his hand, bowed his body and respectfully said, "—His Royal Highness."

At the same time, outside the Hebi Palace.
Shan Chao's qinggong has never been so fast in his life. The pavilions and pavilions flew back, only the sharp howling wind mixed with the violent beating of the heart in his chest.
In an instant, the vermilion palace gate was close in front of him, but Shan Chao stopped suddenly, only to see a sword light crossing straight in front of him: "... Xie Yun."
The blade of the sword reflects the beautiful and cold side face of the commander of the imperial army, like a crescent moon reflecting a pool of autumn water, just a glance is enough to make people feel intimidated.
"Bold," he said with a smile, "Who allowed you to call me by my teacher's first name?"
Shan Chao panted slightly, looked at the closed palace door not far away, and said in a hoarse voice, expressing despair, "Xie Yun, let me go. No matter what happens next, I swear to keep all the secrets for you. If the Queen of Heaven blames you , although you can put all the blame on me... "
Xie Yun asked back: "What if I don't let it go?"
The two faced each other for a long time, the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves and the faint human voice in the distance gradually turned into a blurred background at this moment.
Shan Chao's hand was as heavy as a thousand weights, and he finally moved slowly.
When the Longyuan Sword was unsheathed, the surging energy immediately spread in all directions!
"Xie Yun..." Shan Chao trembled.
Obviously he is the one who is at the peak, and he is the one who has the upper hand, but the man's tough and handsome face is full of an expression that can be called pleading.
Xie Yun used Tai'a sword with his backhand to lightly stroke the ground in front of him.
"Unless you cross my corpse, you won't be able to cross this line today." Xie Yun brushed his drooping sideburns behind his ears, raised his eyes and said calmly, "—Come and try."
