Jun Huailang accompanied Xue Yan to kneel in the Buddhist hall all night.
In the second half of the night, he was a little sleepy, and in a trance, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by the sunlight coming in from outside. When he opened his eyes, the candle in the Buddhist hall had been extinguished. The early morning sun filled the entire hall from behind him, and also cast the elongated shadows of the two of them onto the golden Buddha's knees.
In the shadow, he was leaning on Xue Yan's shoulder.
Jun Huailang woke up and got up quickly. Following his movements, an indigo-colored cloak slid to the ground. It was the one that Concubine Shu asked him to bring last night.
Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan sleepily, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, and there was a bit of a frozen nasal voice: "This dress...?"
He didn't realize how soft his nasal voice was, but Xue Yan glanced at him inexplicably.
"I'm not cold." He stretched out his hand, picked up Jun Huailang's cloak that had fallen on the ground, and stood up neatly.
Jun Huailang also stood up with him. But after kneeling all night, his legs were numb, and when he suddenly exerted force, he stumbled, causing him to almost fall to the ground.
Following closely, he was supported by Xue Yan. Xue Yan held his clothes with one hand and his arm with one hand. He lifted it up and let Jun Huailang stand up easily and neatly with his strength.
But this posture, as if he was leaning on Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang stood up, only to realize that there was someone else in the Buddhist hall. It was the little novice from last night who was cleaning the hall. Feeling his gaze, the little monk raised his head, lowered his eyes gently and calmly, and bowed to him.
Only then did Jun Huailang realize that the actions of himself and Xue Yan were too close to others. He also thought that he actually slept on Xue Yan last night, and I don't know if anyone saw him. Jun Huailang's ears were a little hot, and Xue Yan's hand was quickly pushed away.
Even the two boys are too close.
On the other hand, Xue Yan, as if he had never seen anyone, stood there calmly, quietly waiting for Jun Huailang's legs to regain consciousness, and then saw Xue Yan cupped his hands and bowed back to the little monk.
"It's windy at night in the Buddhist hall, and you've worked hard for the benefactor. When you go back, you must take care of your health."
Jun Huailang nodded and thanked him.
"Let's go." Seeing that he was almost recovered, Xue Yan bent down and picked up the food box on the ground, and walked out first.
Jun Huailang also followed him out.
When the two returned to Mingluan Palace, Fuyi was already waiting at the door. Seeing Jun Huailang coming back, he hurried forward to greet him and said, "My lady heard that the young master didn't return overnight, but she was worried that it would be broken. She had already asked the servant to prepare a pot to warm the ground dragon, so let the young master go back to warm up quickly. Warm up!"
As he said that, he looked at Xue Yan again, smiled shyly, and said, "The niece also specially ordered to ask the servants to prepare more, and ask the Fifth Highness to have breakfast together."
Jun Huailang couldn't help raising his lips and smiled slightly.
He knew it. Although his aunt is domineering and flamboyant, she has a rare heart. Although her temperament is a little awkward, she can also guess her mind at a glance.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but glance at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan met his smiling eyes.
Xue Yan never knew that someone could look so good just by smiling casually, making people feel comfortable in their hearts, like the clean and transparent wind in the morning.
Originally, for him, Concubine Shu's show of favor was useless, but might cause him some trouble. But at this moment, he felt that it would be okay to solve more troubles, but it was just a little effort.
He snorted, and he was always taciturn, but he rarely said "Thank you" to Fu Yi.
So early in the morning, Jun Huailang's house was very lively. The pot on the table is filled with fragrant lamb soup. It was simmered with lamb bones for six hours on a low fire. It was already boiled by this time, bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma and white smoke filled the air. Every room is. The palace maids and eunuchs at the table were preparing dishes, and they had a table full of meat and vegetables.
Jinbao is also there. He waited by Xue Yan's side for a while, but was frightened and emboldened. At this time, he helped the palace maids with a wink and a sharp, sweet mouth, which amused the palace maids in Jun Huailang's room. Laughing, poking his finger on his forehead, laughing and scolding him for being slippery.
As soon as Jun Huailang walked in, the pot and the earth dragon were hot, and he realized that he was freezing all over. A palace maid came and stuffed a hand stove for the two of them, and led them to take off their coats and sit down at the dining table, so that he could come back warm.
"Is Ling Huan awake?" Jun Huailang asked after taking the hot tea. "If you wake up, ask her to come and eat."
He remembered that Jun Linghuan especially liked to eat this hot pot, and he also remembered that yesterday, she and Xue Yan still had some misunderstandings, and they needed to be resolved as soon as possible to relieve the two of them.
Not long after, a palace maid led Jun Linghuan in.
"Brother, why is there a pot to eat early in the morning!" Jun Ling jumped in, and the maid behind him hurriedly undressed for her.
Jun Linghuan saluted Jun Huailang, and saw Xue Yan sitting next to him. Without Jun Huailang speaking, Jun Linghuan became embarrassed first, her face was a little red, and she saluted Xue Yan.
"I'm sorry, Brother Fifth Prince." She whispered. "Ling Huan was wrong yesterday, I apologize to you!"
Jun Huailang felt relieved, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Yan, but he didn't expect that Xue Yan was also looking at him.
… My sister apologizes to you, what do you think I do
But the next moment, Xue Yan turned his eyes away, looked at Jun Linghuan, and said lightly, "It's okay, I didn't care about it originally."
"Really!" Jun Ling laughed happily, with a genuine manner. "Brother Fifth Prince, you are so kind, you are really a hero's chest, which can hold a full pommel horse!"
Jun Huailang couldn't help but cast a reproachful glance at the palace maid behind her: "Don't let her, read her the words from the streets and alleys, and let her learn some slang words that are full of all corners of the world."
The palace maid hurriedly responded.
Jun Huailang raised his hand and beckoned her to sit down, not forgetting to remind her: "This time you have suffered a loss, but remember it well. Anyone you don't know well, no matter who they are, can't run around alone with him."
Jun Linghuan should be obediently.
Jun Huailang added: "And those who speak ill of others to you behind their backs, don't take it lightly. Those who say that others are tigers and wolves, or monsters, are actually the heart of the jackal."
Jun Linghuan let out a sigh of understanding, and took his words to heart.
On the other hand, Jin Bao, who was next to him, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
His Royal Highness looked cold and unattainable, and he knew the best manners. I didn't expect that for the sake of his own master, he would accuse Sang Sang of scolding Huai and said that the second prince had a jackal's heart!
However, before he could finish laughing, an icy gaze was thrown at him like a knife, which made his smile froze in fright, and he quickly controlled his expression in a proper manner.
It was Yingyingyanyan in the room of His Royal Highness. Everyone was so friendly. The excitement made him relax his vigilance, and he almost forgot that his master was a temperamental, cold-hearted and cold-hearted Yama.
Jinbao stood there like a quail for a while, then looked carefully at his master, wanting to see if he had calmed down.
However, seeing him sitting opposite His Highness, he had not looked at himself for a long time. Instead, his eyes swept over His Highness from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a smile that could not be hidden in those eyes.
Jinbao pouted secretly.
I am also happy, what are you staring at me for
—
Jun Huailang had a lively meal in his room. After the meal, the maids took water for rinsing their mouths and hands and served them tea.
After the Qianqiu Banquet, as usual, the princes can rest for two days, so there is no need to rush to the Wenhua Palace to study.
At this moment, Diancui came.
"Yeah, did His Royal Highness just eat?" She smiled and saluted the two of them. "That servant came by coincidence."
Jun Huailang raised her hand to flatten her and asked, "What's the matter with Aunt Diancui?"
Diancui smiled and said, "The servants are here today to look for His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. Last night, the empress told me that I heard that the Fifth Prince would get up early every day to go to the backyard to practice martial arts, so I sent the servants to find some. The commonly used weapons will be given to him. The slaves bought a set of weapon racks before they were placed, and I was about to ask the Fifth Prince to come and see if there was anything else missing."
Jun Huailang was a little puzzled when he heard the words. When the fifth prince was in Concubine Shu's palace, that was something that everyone could not avoid. Before last night, Concubine Shu still hated him. Who would talk too much in front of Concubine Shu and talk about Xue Yan's trivial matters
Jun Huailang still asked, "Oh, where is it?"
Dian Cui smiled and said: "It's in the front court, close to the house of the Fifth Highness, and His Highness does not have to go around to the rear every day."
Jun Huailang frowned and glanced out the window.
Concubine Shu's Mingluan Palace is the most exquisite and unique, especially as the front courtyard of the front door, it has repaired a delicate and unique garden, and also specially dug a living pool. On weekdays, Concubine Shu would pass here when people come and go. The concubines and concubines gather together and enjoy the view of the vestibule in the corridor. Suddenly, a heavy and wide weapon rack was placed, and it was particularly abrupt among the pearls, jade, flowers and trees.
Anyone who comes in can see it.
It was as if it was specially placed here for everyone to see, telling others how much Concubine Shu loved the Fifth Prince. Not to mention the concubines next to him, the emperor is coming every three or five minutes, and putting Xue Yan's belongings under his eyelids, wouldn't it be unpleasant to find him
And from here to the spacious backyard, it is only a matter of bypassing a main hall.
Jun Huailang glanced at Dian Cui without a trace.
Since he moved into the palace, he felt that Diancui was not right, but now, the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became.
On the bright side, she seemed to be used to making her own decisions, and she happened to dislike Xue Yan; but in fact, although she did things that were detrimental to Xue Yan, in the end, she was pointing at Concubine Shu.
Jun Huailang concealed his thoughts and looked at the weapon rack with a curious look, but he was thinking, what excuse could he find so that Diancui could move it to the backyard, and he wouldn't scare the snake.
At this moment, he heard Xue Yan speak.
"Move to the backyard," he said. "I'm used to practicing in the backyard, it's spacious."
Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan in surprise, but saw that Xue Yan's eyes swept away from him, and there was no emotion in his eyes, but Jun Huailang always felt that Xue Yan had seen through himself. idea like.
Jun Huailang felt that he was thinking too much. Seeing Diancui's hesitant and unwilling look, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said casually: "That's right, Aunt Diancui, although this weapon is placed in the front yard, although it is majestic, but if the Fifth Highness accidentally breaks it. Aunt's flowers and plants will make her unhappy again."
After speaking, he took a sip of tea, looked at Diancui who was speechless, and admired her expression secretly.
As everyone knows, his appearance falls into those amber eyes, like a little fox who has only got what he wants, and is arrogant and reserved, unwilling to express his emotions.
