Because of Sui Yan's absence, Duan Ming Chong was absent-minded during the entire palace banquet. Seeing Sui Yan's eyes, his heart kept sinking.
He is very clear about the temperament of his younger brother. To say it is good, it is called lively and jumpy, and to say it is ugly, it is because of pampering and misbehavior, and it is not listed for three days.
And it is precisely such a person that Duan Mingchong, who has a quiet temperament, is most attracted to him, not to mention...
Sui Xun's face was disheveled, although he didn't want to admit it, he still had to say that his younger brother's flamboyant face was more able to coax all kinds of people into fascinated by him.
If Duan Mingchong really has something for Sui Yan...
Suixun just suddenly flashed this thought, and he was so cold that he didn't dare to think about it any more.
Both of them spent the palace banquet absent-mindedly, Xu Xun knew that Sui Yan would definitely not allow him to intervene in his marriage, and Sui Xun even went to the palace staff of the Palace of Supreme Harmony to ask for a bowl of sweet soup and put it in the food box. I took it back here, so that Sui Yan and the others would get angry and mess around.
Sui Xun arrived home all the way, and took the food box to Sui Yan's side courtyard.
Jun Jingxing watched Sui Yan drink the medicine and had already left. Sui Yan was lying on the table, boredly looking at the four dissimilar long-life lamps on the table, looking in a daze and didn't know what he was thinking.
Suixun didn't knock on the door, went in directly, and put down the food box.
Sui Yan lay on the table and didn't want to move, just blinked and said weakly, "You're back."
Sui Xun touched Sui Yan's forehead and frowned, "I knew you weren't sick, so if you don't want to go, don't go, why are you lying?"
Sui Yan didn't speak, his expression was sullen.
Sui Xun tilted his head and coughed dryly, trying to make himself easy-going. He lifted the lid of the food box and said, "I brought you sweet soup from the palace. I'll warm it up for you later, will you eat it as a late-night snack?"
Sui Yan nodded, without the usual liveliness, which made Sui Xun uncomfortable.
Suixun was a stubborn old man and didn't know how to comfort people. The two of them stared at each other for a long time before Suixun called Haitang outside the door and asked him to bring a few jars of wine.
Sui Yan didn't know what Sui Xun was doing, so he was finally willing to get up and looked at Sui Xun suspiciously as he put the wine on the table.
Suixun took the glass and poured two glasses of wine, and said, "Didn't you want to drink yesterday? It's boring to be alone. I'll accompany you today. Come, you won't return if you don't get drunk."
Sui Yan: "…"
Haitang was extremely embarrassed by the side.
Sui Xun took the cup and stuffed it into Sui Yan's hand, Sui Yan took it, looked at Sui Xun faintly, and said, "Brother, do you know that I can't drink?"
Suixun was a little puzzled: "Can't drink? Why can't drink? How can my son-in-law not drink?"
Sui Yan glared at him.
Haitang whispered from the side: "Young master will vomit as soon as he touches wine, and he will definitely be seriously ill, even a small sip will fail, second young master... You..."
Sui Xun was stunned for a moment, looked at the wine in his hand, and then looked at Sui Yan again, as if he couldn't understand why anyone who could drink a sip of wine could make him seriously ill.
Suixun said a little unnaturally: "I was in a bad mood when I was young. Big brother always comforted me like this. I thought you were the same..."
Sui Yan glanced at him and said, "Then you can't let me drink directly, you have to take care of me in action. If I really drink this glass of wine and ascend to heaven, what will you do?"
Suixun frowned: "I'm not caring about you?"
Sui Yan: "Do you care?"
Suixun pretended to be calm and said, "Brother cares about you very much. Today I'm still talking about choosing a day to find a good marriage for you, and get married as soon as possible."
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan hugged his head and planted on the table, not wanting to talk to this stubborn man at all.
Suixun pushed him: "Are you listening to me?"
Sui Yan said in a sullen voice, "Brother, you should go back and drink it by yourself, I'm going to sleep."
He said, stood up and walked to the inner room.
Suixun looked at the two glasses of wine and frowned for a long time before saying, "What about the sweet soup? I poured it?"
Sui Yan made an "um" in the inner room.
Suixun thought: "I'm really angry, I don't even drink sweet soup anymore."
Sui Yan, who could even give up sweet soup, was a little hard to coax. After standing in the outer room for a long time, Sui Xun couldn't help but enter the inner room, holding up the bead curtain and looking at Sui Yan lying on the quilt.
"Forgot to go home?"
Sui Yan looked up at him.
Originally, Sui Yan thought that his elder brother had finally opened his mind and knew how to feel distressed. He was still looking forward to it, when he heard Sui Xun say, "Where's the peace talisman, when will you give it to me?"
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan fell back into the quilt again, and said in pain, "I'll give it to you tomorrow, go back quickly, I'm going to sleep."
Early the next morning, while it was still snowing outside, Sui Yan was awakened by a banging knock on the door.
He turned over under the quilt and said vaguely, "See you at Yue, open the door..."
Jun Jingxing came early to check his pulse, because Sui Yan had been asleep and was drinking tea in the outer room. He almost rolled his eyes when he heard Sui Yan's voice, but he got up and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Sui Xun walked in dressed in hunting clothes and frost.
"Forgot to go home? Are you still sleeping?"
He ignored Jun Jingxing and pushed the door directly into Sui Yan's room.
Sui Yan raised his head in confusion, glanced at Sui Xun in the room, fell back again, and said dumbly, "Brother, you didn't go to court this morning?"
Suixun said, "Xiu Mu—get up, I'll take you out to ride a horse."
Sui Yan: "…"
Suiyan pulled the quilt and wailed, "I know you care about me very much, please forgive me, I just want to sleep now."
Sui Xun stepped forward dissatisfied, lifted Sui Yan's quilt, and said, "Get up quickly, I'm ready for everything."
Sui Yan, who still wanted to fall asleep, was dragged abruptly by Sui Xun, changed his clothes and went to ride a horse outside the city.
Half a day later, Sui Yan rode a white horse and followed Sui Xun for a walk outside the city with a calm expression.
Sui Xun rode on his horse, took a closer look at Sui Yan's expression, and frowned, "Why do you look a little unhappy?"
Sui Yan saw that Sui Xun really planned to care about him, but the method was never appropriate.
He knew that his brother had worked hard, tried his best, and had reached the limit, so he didn't want to take advantage of his brother's good intentions, so he found a reason at will: "Isn't someone eyeing me these past few days? As an assassin, you have to protect me, brother."
Suixun said, "That's natural."
Sui Yan nodded, these words still sounded like personal words.
Suixun said again: "...as long as you don't run around."
Sui Yan: "…"
Sui Yan rubbed his brows and said nothing.
The outside of the city was covered in white snow. Because it had just snowed, not many people went out. The two of them slowly rode their horses all the way, leaving a string of horseshoe prints on the snow.
A few generals followed not far or near, Sui Yan glanced at random, really couldn't hold back, and said to Sui Xun beside him, "What the hell is going on today, what are you doing to hide from me?"
Suixun said casually, "It's nothing, I just want to take you out to relax."
Sui Yan thought about it and still felt something was wrong: "The assassin..."
Suixun said lightly, "The fifth prince and Concubine Ning Gui were already charged with murdering the crown prince yesterday. You don't have to worry anymore, you can go wherever you want to play in the future."
Sui Yan was stunned, how come it was only one night, and the two of them were convicted so suddenly before they found any waves
Sui Yan asked tentatively, "Is it His Royal Highness...?"
Suixun nodded and said nothing.
The two went for a walk outside the city again, and when they were about to go back, a carriage came slowly from the official road. When they passed by Sui Yan, the yellow bright curtain was suddenly lifted.
"Master Hou."
Sui Yan's pupils shrank, and the hand holding the reins suddenly tightened.
Duan Ruwang looked at Sui Yan's fearful eyes, smiled lightly, and said, "It's snowing outside, why don't Ayan go to the carriage to take shelter from the wind? Your body is so weak, it's not good to be ill at the end of the year. "
Suiyan frowned. In the past three years, because of Duan Mingchong, he and Duan Ruwang had already torn their faces, and Suiyan didn't have a good look at Duan Ruwang: "What do you call me?"
Duan Ruwang smiled and said, "Ayan, isn't that what the crown prince called you? Don't you like this title?"
When Duan Ruwang's long, narrow and cold eyes fluttered over, Sui Yan felt a panic as if he had seen it through, and he felt uncomfortable.
He nodded slightly: "Second Highness is joking, please call me back."
Duan Ru looked at him with a half-smile.
At this time, Sui Xun, who was beside him, also rode his horse over. He was a little surprised when he saw Duan Ruwang, but he still saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Second Highness."
Duan Ruwang smiled at Suixun, then took back his eyes, glanced at Suiyan with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty's status is noble, if you can't get what you want, why should you hang yourself on a tree with the crown prince's head in elm wood? Death? Sooner or later, he will become the heir of a country, do you think people like him will be entangled with a man?"
Sui Yan froze, and for a moment he could hardly contain the shock in his heart.
he knows
Suiyan took a deep breath, and immediately cleaned up his emotions, without letting Duan Ruwang see any clues, he said lightly: "What the Second Highness is talking about, Wanggui doesn't understand, just as you said. Now, it's freezing cold, you should go back to the palace earlier, if you get hurt and get sick, it's a sin of forgetting to return."
Duan Ruwang smiled, ignoring his words, and said softly to himself, "Master Hou knows who went to the Hou Mansion to assassinate you that night. Who is it?"
Sui Yan said lightly, "I don't want to know, and I'm not interested in knowing either."
Duan Ruwang was not at all embarrassed, and said lightly: "Master Hou is really stubborn, then if you regret it someday, just come to me."
Sui Yan did not speak.
Duan Ruwang nodded slightly, put down the curtain with a half-smile, the carriage moved quickly, and left slowly.
Suixun frowned and said, "What were you talking about just now?"
Sui Yan raised his head and looked at Suixun with glazed eyes, and said, "Brother, have you tried the assassin who broke into Hou's residence a few days ago?"
Sui Xun nodded.
Suiyan said again: "They confessed that they were the prince's person?"
Sui Xun was a little unnatural, but nodded and said, "This will definitely not be done by the prince. I can guarantee that if he wants your life, he will not take you to Xiangguo Temple."
Sui Yan nodded: "I know, I just want to do one thing."
Suixun said, "What's the matter?"
Sui Yan tilted his head and said, "You told me yesterday, are you still thinking about arranging a marriage for me?"
"Yes," Sui Xun said in surprise, "Are you willing?"
Sui Yan nodded and said lightly, "But this person needs to be chosen by myself."
Sui Yan went to the border, and he was most worried about Sui Yan. He didn't want to force Sui Yan to do things he didn't like. , It's pathetic to think about.
A few years ago, Sui Yan resisted so badly that Sui Xun couldn't force him. I didn't expect that Sui Yan would take the initiative to say kiss now, and Sui Xun could finally breathe a sigh of relief, not to mention that he chose it himself, as long as it was him Like, it doesn't matter if it's a man.
Suixun thought about it again: "Oh no, men still can't do it."
Sui Yan chuckled lightly and said, "Then I will thank my brother a lot."
The two slowly walked back from outside the city. Sui Xun was in a good mood today, and he even asked the kitchen to cook sweet soup for Sui Yan to drink - what he knew about his younger brother's daily life was only "Sui Yan likes to drink sweet soup". .
After Suiyan finished drinking the sweet soup, he returned to the side hospital.
After nightfall, Jun Jingxing looked at a goose-yellow women's dress on the table and was silent for a long time.
"so?"
Sui Yan sat on the chair with his fingers on his chin, looked down at Jun Jingxing with grace and laziness, and said lightly, "Miss Yue, I invite you to perform with me, this is the number."
He stretched out five fingers.
Jun Jingxing was expressionless: "Five hundred taels?"
Sui Yan shook his head: "Five taels, I will give you this dress by the way. I picked it myself. I think it suits you very well."
Jun Jingxing: "… "
Jun Jingxing turned around and left.
The author has something to say: Jun Jingxing [Roaring]: My performance fee is very high! This money to send beggars! !
