I know I was wrong

At night, after dreaming about something, Yan Qing suddenly woke up after calling "A Yue" loudly, and suddenly stood up straight and sat on the couch.

Hearing the sound, Ping Wang entered the inner hall, bowed his body and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want Concubine Hui to attend the bed?"

Yan Qing didn't respond to him, got up and changed clothes, and walked out of the bedroom.

The wind outside the hall was a bit noisy, a drop of coldness covered his face, the high-hanging night pearl reflected the white snow on the ground, and he was able to see clearly through the slight fluorescence that it was snowing.

There have been two snowfalls in Beijing this year, and the first snow fell on the day when Liuwangfu was full of fire.In that fire, in that snow, Great Wei killed the last prince, and Yan Qing also sent away his younger brother.

The jade chariot was carried aimlessly in the palace, Yan Qing didn't know where he wanted to go, the palace was dull and cold, it seemed like it was the same wherever he went.When passing by Jiaofang Palace, the palace attendants heard the master say: "Stop."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and when they got off the jade chariot, they couldn't help rubbing their frozen hands in their sleeves.

In the past, Yan Qingxian went to Jiaofang Palace to walk around. Such a night and such snow inevitably reminded him of the past.So Ping Wang held up the purple gauze palace lantern and raised his voice: "You all step back."

Jiaofang Palace is still like spring all the year round, and Yan Qing's cold air is slowly receding, but his whole body is still indescribably cold.

Pingwang saw that he was not sleepy that night, so he took the initiative to report: "The emperor, the princess and the others have already arrived in northern Xinjiang."

Princess them.

Who they are is self-evident.

Seeing Yan Qing's head slowly turned to him, Ping Wang continued: "Secretly followed their secret guards to report, the prince was overjoyed when he first arrived in northern Xinjiang, he built a snowman in front of the door, and changed it into new clothes every day. The prince’s poison meridian rejuvenation genius doctor has improved a lot, and his life is not in danger. The medicine spring has also been arranged properly for the prince to recuperate.”

Hearing these words, Yan Qing couldn't help but turn his mouth up, but he quickly turned his head back, facing the small window, watching the drifting snow in the dark night through a gap.

After watching, his voice gradually cooled down: "In the future, you don't have to report to me about the northern border."

Pingwang has been with Yan Qing since he was eight years old. Yan Qing understands Pingwang's mind very well, but at least he understands it.Seeing the corners of his mouth curled up, it is clear that he likes to listen.In the past two months, Yan Qing never showed a smile even in the great victory of cutting down the vassals, but when he heard about the sixth prince, his expression softened, but he pretended to be cold.

Ping Wang wanted to make him happy, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, if you really miss the Sixth Prince, why don't you go down to the secret decree and quietly call him back?"

Hearing the words, Yan Qing raised his hand and slapped the red sandalwood bed heavily, and Ping Wang knelt down on the ground in fright.

While he was waiting for his crime to be punished, he heard Yan Qing's inaudible sigh: "He...he doesn't want to come back."

Pingwang couldn't help shaking, feeling that it was really cold tonight.

"Go and see if the peach tree in the backyard is in bloom?" Yan Qing said.

Looking up again and again, he raised his head and glanced at Yan Qing. The latter looked extremely lonely, and he was playing with a string of moon bodhi beads casually.So Pingwang couldn't help but turn pale with shock, unexpectedly this thing was still kept.

——It should have been burned on the snowy night in the 18th year of Shengping, and the owner of this thing should have died in the East Palace that year with a cup of poisoned wine.Not daring to think about it, Pingwang knew that Yan Qing was sending him out on purpose, so he bowed and retreated to the backyard.

The string of moon beads in Yan Qing's hands is a total of eighteen pieces, which are the tribute jewels of the Nanyu Kingdom. He gave them to his companions when he was in the 15th year of Shengping.In the eighteenth moon, the grains are shiny and grayish white, floating with dark light.There are brown dots on it, just like a bright moon hanging high in the sky. If you look closely, you can still see the clear brilliance of the moon, which makes people feel stable.

It is rumored that the long-hanging hands can collect good dharmas, suppress evil, and keep people safe and happy.

The companion's name was A Yue, but he was just a beggar he met while wandering under the willow tree outside the palace gate. Somehow, he caught his eye and was taken to the East Palace to be his prince's companion.

At that time Ah Yue was only twelve or thirteen years old, but he looked much younger than his actual age, with a yellow and thin face, and his only pair of deer eyes were clear and innocent. He looked at the palace walls and palaces that did not match his aura, and followed Yan Qing timidly. behind.

At the right time, Yan Qing heard from the palace people that Yan Shirong had fallen flat and was lying on the ground crying loudly, so he didn't care about anything else, and went straight to the door.He even forgot to ask the name of the little poor man behind him.

This forgetting is three or two months.

The palace people only said that he was a carp jumping over the dragon's gate, and they called him all day long.He was very diligent in responding to everyone's words.Always think that if you are kind to others, people will be kind to you.

But as time went by, the palace people only regarded him as honest and deceitful, and never assigned him the job of serving tea in the inner hall, and assigned him to do some menial work such as cleaning and repairing.He didn't even complain, he just waited impatiently for Yan Qing to come to the East Palace to study, and he was satisfied by glancing at him quietly in the long arcade.If he is seen by the stern nanny, he will inevitably scold him.

At that time, Yan Qing just thought of him as a pitiful little bastard, a kind of charity and pity from the higher-ups, brought him into the palace, and quickly forgot about him.

But an unpurified boy who stays in the East Palace and doesn't get the favor of the crown prince will naturally be hated by the eunuchs. For a long time, the eunuchs beat him every night, humiliated him, and used the most obscene and dirty words Criticized him, squeezed his face hard, and told him to get out of the East Palace.

But he could only swallow his anger, gritted his teeth, and begged: "Please...don't drive me out of the East Palace."

The eunuchs stepped on the back of his hand, which was covered with dense cuts, and laughed more and more wantonly: "What are you, you dare to stay in the East Palace with the audacity? If you stay for a day, we will beat you for a day!"

"Yeah! Hit him, hit him!"

"..."

Naturally, Yan Qing would not know about these things, he read books every day, listened to the lectures given by the Taifu, or went to Jiaofang Palace to amuse Yan Shirong.

At that time, there was no dirt in Yan Qing's eyes, not because the world was clean, but because there were always countless people cleaning up for him.

Everything he sees is always clean.

At that time, Yan Shirong was even younger. The seven-year-old Tuanzi still had two small buns on the left and right sides, tied with silk flowers, and ran around the palace in pink and red clothes every day, coaxing the concubines to be elated. They all scrambled to hug him.

Empresses and concubines don't have the time to compete for the emperor's favor, don't fight, let's give it to the empress, as long as Liu'er can be hugged by me, so what if I don't hang the green head card for a year?

Yan Shirong swaggered, went to this palace every day to grab a piece of candy, and went to that palace to eat a cake, wiped his mouth, and said sweetly to the concubines: "My lady, you are so kind, you have a beautiful heart and a beautiful snack."

The concubines just want to steal their children.

After all, Yan Qing is older and has heard a lot of secrets from the deep palace. He always knows that people know the face but not the heart. He does not want Yan Shirong to get close to the concubines, so he ordered the palace people to bring him to him as long as the concubines approached him. knowledge.

At that time, Zi Yan Shirong called "Brother Cangyu" and "Brother Prince" every day.

Yan Qinggui was self-reliant, and it was useful in his heart, but he asked lightly: "What are you doing?"

Yan Shirong pointed her little finger at the magnolia tree: "Scent, Ayu wants it."

Yan Qing understood, pointed to the tree and said, "Pick it off for me."

Golden branches and jade leaves, how could the eunuchs dare to climb, two people came and stabbed the tree with long poles, their postures were very ugly, and the flowers were almost broken.

Yan Qing frowned: "Idiot."

The eunuch hurriedly put down his pole and kowtowed: "The prince forgives the crime, and the sixth prince forgives the crime."

Ah Yue was kicked out at this time, and the manager told him: "You are light, go up and pick a magnolia for the sixth prince."

Ah Yue lightly climbed up the tree, stretched out his hand and plucked a magnolia flower, and just as he was about to climb down, the branch snapped, and he flew into the air, falling from a height.But even if he fell from the tree, Ah Yue still held the magnolia flower in his arms.

I saw him writhing in pain a few times, stretching out his hands tremblingly, holding the Magnolia high up, a groan of pain couldn't help but flowed away, but he still held it back.

Yan Shirong's eyes turned red, and he ran to A Yue's side in small steps, squatting down to look: "It hurts! Brother Prince, he hurts!"

Ah Yue forced a smile and said, "Sixth prince, the slave doesn't hurt."

Yan Qing fixed his gaze on him, "Hurry up and find the imperial physician!"

Only then did the crowd lift him up from the ground.

Yan Qing said, "What happened to the injury on your hand?"

Ah Yue quickly withdrew his hands, "It's just frostbite..."

"Where does the day in June give you frostbite?"

Ah Yue bit her lip, her watery eyes blinked.

Yan Qing said: "Come on, you heal the wound first."

Ah Yue nodded gratefully, and then saw Yan Shirong walking away holding a bouquet of flowers and sniffing deeply.He looked at Yan Qing's back and smiled softly, as if the bruises and festering wounds on his body were not so painful because of Yan Qing's lukewarm care at that time.

From that day on, Ah Yue became the person in front of the prince, and no one in the entire East Palace dared to bully him.

Yan Qing lacked a companion, so he told the queen that he wanted A Yue to be his companion.

——This is the first time in Yan Qing's life that he begged the queen.

However, since ancient times, the royal family's companions have been selected from the aristocratic families, and I have never heard of a beggar who can accompany the prince to study.But since Yan Qing begged, the queen still let go, "Is this child literate?"

Ah Yue took a look at Yan Qing, kowtowed heavily, and said honestly: "Slave... I don't know..."

"He knows it. He will know it in a month. The queen mother may as well wait and see." Yan Qing said this, taking A Yue away in an undeniable tone.

Yan Qing has always been determined to win, the queen saw that he was so sure about it, so she agreed to it.

Afterwards, Ah Yue blushed and faltered: "But this slave really can't read..."

"I will teach you."

In the next month, A Yue hung his head and memorized it by rote, but he was able to understand a little bit of writing, and he didn't make too many jokes when he went to see the queen.

——But there are still some, he doesn't know the word good and evil.

Yan Qing frowned, he hadn't learned these two words yet.

Ah Yue knelt on the ground, his face flushed red: "I don't know." Fu looked at Yan Qing with self-blame, tears glistening in his eyes, trying not to cry.

The queen gently raised her hand to make him stand up, and said softly: "These two words are called 'good and evil', good boy, go and study with the prince, and learn from the Taifu what is good and what is evil."

Ah Yue was overjoyed and kowtowed violently, the queen asked the nanny to help him up, and smiled slightly: "You don't have to thank me, I believe in the eyes of the prince."

Yan Qing was startled, then turned his head away and looked elsewhere, feeling happy in his heart.

When returning to the East Palace, Yan Qing rummaged through the box for a long time, and finally found a string of moons, "Take it."

Ah Yue held the delicate string of beads in both hands from morning to night, doubts floated between Yan Qing's brows: "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you let the slaves hold it?"

Ah Yue guessed that this string of pretty beads was for him to make his younger brother happy. He knew that Yan Qing cared about the sixth prince most, so he didn't dare to neglect him.

Yan Qing was laughed angrily by him: "This string of moons can collect good dharma, suppress evil, and keep people safe and happy."

He spread out the rice paper, and wrote two words with a pen and ink, without looking at him: "Bengong said that it is for you."

Ah Yue's black eyes were shining brightly, and the moon was not as bright as his.

Yan Qing took a quick glance, seeing such bright eyes, couldn't help but glance elsewhere, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"Thank you, Your Highness, the servant likes it! I like it very much!"

He lowered his head and saw that the two words written by Yan Qing were "good and evil".

"Who asked if you liked it? Put it on for Bengong."

Ah Yue bit his lower lip, and there was blood between his teeth.

"Do you know the word 'good and evil' now?"

Ah Yue nodded sharply.

He got it, this time he got it.

Ah Yue had a very good winter this year, no cold and no hunger, he grew taller and paler, and looked like a noble young master.The charcoal fire in the East Palace was very hot, and the Tai Hospital sent him chilblain balm early.Apply cool and cool to the affected area, calming most of the itching.

It's just that he has done a lot of rough work, his palms are rough, and his knuckles are thick, but they are not worthy of the confinement that Yan Qing gave him.

He carefully put the string of moons into the box, put the box next to his pillow, looked at the moons when he was sleeping at night, and suspected that it was Yan Qing who picked the moon to his eyes.

Only in the dead of night did he dare to put the moons on his wrist and count them one by one.

A total of eighteen, not more than one, not less.

It is full of bright and clean minds.

It was as if the moon really belonged to him at this time.

Collect good things, suppress bad things, and be peaceful and happy.

The words were as heavy as a mountain, pressing on his heart, and his wrist was burning.Those eighteen beads were still shiny and clear, as if they were gently touching his despicable and ugly heart.

He put the beads into the box and never opened it again.

A person like him is not worthy of having a moon child.

Seeing that he didn't wear it, Yan Qing thought he didn't like it, so she didn't say anything, just said: "Today I'm going to worship peach blossoms."

This is a custom that has arisen in the Jiaofang Palace in the past two years. When the first peach blossom is distributed every year, a few children from the palace will be brought to worship the peach blossom fairy, in order to pray for future peach blossom luck.

The queen said that the children will become rich and powerful in the future, and the future is boundless. Others don't worry about it, lest they fail to find a lover.She firmly believes that there are peach blossom fairies in this world, and spring will come as promised, and sincerity will lead to spirit.

In early spring, the peach trees in Jiaofang Palace were always the first to bloom. According to the custom, the empress gave each of Zhuo Ling, Yan Qing, and Xue Cuo a peach blossom.But he didn't allow Yan Shirong to approach, so as not to block the good luck of his brothers and sisters.

Yan Shirong didn't understand these things, she just felt aggrieved when her mother took her brothers and sisters to play without him.He sat on the threshold and stared at the peach tree with displeasure written all over his face.

Xiaotuanzi was neither happy nor fussy, leaning against the wall sullenly, throwing resentful eyes not far away from time to time, but his cheeks grew bigger and bigger.

It took a while to worship the Peach Blossom Fairy over there, when Yan Qingchao and Yan Shirong walked over, he couldn't help smiling, but restrainedly pursed his thin lips, coughed, and handed him the peach branch.

"I don't need this." Yan Qing said.

Yan Shirong stretched out his hand to grab the peach branch with his chubby little claws, and called out "Brother Prince, you are so kind" three times in a row.

Yan Qing retracted his eyes unnaturally, seeing A Yue sniggering behind him, he said sharply: "What are you dawdling about, why don't you follow me to study in the East Palace!"

A Yue stuck out his tongue quietly at Yan Shirong from behind, his deer eyes bent into a round of Emei.

Yan Shirong inserted a peach branch into his bun, and asked Xue Cuo, "Brother Cangyu, is Ayu good-looking?"

……

Yan Qing glanced at him on the road: "What are you laughing at?"

Ah Yue blinked and said, "His Royal Highness is very kind to the Sixth Prince."

Yan Qing pursed his lips and hummed softly.

"You are a good brother of this palace, and this palace will treat you well in the future."

A Yue was taken aback, and stopped in his tracks.

Seeing that he didn't follow, Yan Qing asked, "What are you dawdling about? Follow quickly!"

Ah Yue raised his fist to his heart, his eyes were red, but Yan Qing didn't see it.

"His Royal Highness, wait for the slaves."

"Follow up."

The days passed like this day by day, Ah Yue was still Yan Qing's little follower, and Yan Qing would send him any good things.

Yan Qing won the Crown Prince Yuguan when he was 15 years old, and he will live in the East Palace forever.

On the day when the palace was moved, Yan Qing frequently looked at Yan Shirong, hesitated to speak, A Yue knew his mind best, so he asked: "The prince will not live in Jiaofang Palace in the future, will the sixth prince miss the prince?"

Yan Shirong shook his head, took a sip of candy, Xiao Taohua blinked: "I don't want to."

Ah Yue took out a can of candied kumquats and inspired, "Think about it carefully."

Yan Shirong's eyes lit up, he understood immediately, and said loudly: "Think about it! Think about it! Ah Yu will think about it!"

Yan Qing flicked his sleeves, feeling that this little thing was extremely heartless.

Ah Yue dared to laugh out loud when there was no one around, and covered his mouth with his pale blue sleeve, "My lord, your mouth is too hard."

Yan Qing was displeased with the case: "Who allowed you to talk to me like this?"

Ah Yue stopped laughing, looked at Yan Qing seriously, and said tentatively: "Then the prince, will you blame the servant?"

Yan Qing seemed to suddenly think of the first time the two met, under the willow tree outside the palace, saw a young ruffian punching and kicking him, for the first time in his life, Yan Qing felt compassion and saved him.

Taking advantage of the guard's unpreparedness, he rushed over, grabbed Yan Qing's sleeve and said thank you.The guard was afraid that he would disturb the prince, so he kicked him far away.

The green strip breaks the wind, and the smoke becomes sorrow.

The guard drew his sword and pointed at him: "Who gave you the guts to offend the prince? You must be tired of your job!"

Yan Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the man on the ground, but restrained the guard's hand to do evil again.

Ah Yue got up and knelt down at Yan Qing's feet: "Will the crown prince blame the servant?"

Yan Qing looked at his wounds and clear eyes, "Take him back to the palace."

At that time, Yan Qing didn't say whether he would blame A Yue, but now Yan Qing said: "No."

It is a firm and clear word, said without thinking.

Ah Yue was very surprised, but smiled unnaturally, muttered something in his mouth, and turned his head to grind the ink for Yan Qing.

Yan Qing was working on a painting, which was given to his third elder brother Yan Chen for his birthday.

"The third prince is not a good person."

A few years ago, the eldest prince and the second prince even did the stupid thing of murdering the prince. After being reported by Princess Zhuoling, the emperor was furious and sent them to another place.The third prince, Yan Chen, has always been aloof from the world, so he is more speculative with Yan Qing.

Yan Qing glanced at him, but smiled: "Who do you know is a good person?"

Ah Yue stopped Mo Mo's hand, and said seriously: "Don't associate with him."

"You don't like him?"

"……No."

Yan Qing didn't take it seriously.

In fact, thinking about it later, in fact, Ah Yue had already given a reminder.

The third prince's mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the empress also came to see the mansion, but when she walked to the backyard, she saw the servant girl in the mansion hurrying and bumped into the holy driver, and only after asking did she know that the prince was unwell and rested in the wing room.

The empress went to the wing room for only one look, then came out with a livid face, and got very angry, and the banquet broke up unhappily.

Later, some people wanted to find out about the secrets of the palace, and what happened to the Third Prince's Mansion that day, but they found nothing.

It is disgraceful for the Tian family to keep secret.

In the wing room, the crown prince and the naked companion rolled together, and everything seemed to be carefully calculated.

Yan Qing rubbed his aching head, looked at A Yue's blurred eyes, and listened to Yan Chen's falsely kind words, experiencing betrayal for the first time in his life.

Wei Gong doesn't care about the prince's nature, but he has strict requirements on the Eastern Crown Prince. There are many rules and regulations, one of which is that no lewd pleasures are allowed before the wedding.It is for fear that the prince will indulge in sensuality and lose his responsibility.

Yan Qing was drunk too much with the wine mixed with some kind of medicine, and seeing Ah Yue's expression was also very abnormal, he knelt on the ground and said "I'm sorry".

Yan Qing's hand that was stretched out to him froze, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into a cellar of ice.

Reminiscent of the previous events, Yan Qing took a deep breath, touched his hot head, and took a deep breath: "You knew Yan Chen a long time ago?"

The deepest secret hidden in his heart was revealed in this way, Ah Yue burst into tears, and had nothing to say except sorry.

Yan Qing reluctantly stood up, put on his clothes, and walked out of the room without looking back.

When he returned to the East Palace, he fell seriously ill with a persistent high fever. In his dream, he heard someone saying goodbye to him. A hot tear fell on his eyelid, but he couldn't lift it up.

Ping Wang took the plate and walked to the room where Ah Yue lived, sighed: "Just now you are allowed to bid farewell to the prince, it is the grace of the heavenly family, don't make trouble, just drink the wine quickly."

Ah Yue was bruised all over his body, his face was smacked beyond recognition, and his hands were pinched by the pincers so that he couldn't use his strength. He held the wine with his palms together, and knelt down straight: "Thank you, the emperor, for giving me the wine."

Pingwang was really pitiful when he saw him, and couldn't help but said: "Why are you... oh..."

Why don't you tell the prince?

Can't say.

He is from the third prince's mother's family. He has been dependent on others since he was a child, and the whole family's life is in the hands of the third prince. Their careful arrangement is for this moment.The third prince ordered him to secretly poison him, but he refused to do so, so the next day he brought a box containing his sister's bloody hand.He is all too familiar with the butterfly imprint on his hand.

Later, Yan Chen slowed down and did not push each other any more. Occasionally when Yu Huayuan met and looked at A Yue, it made him shudder.

Reminding him exactly how he entered the palace and what he should do.

But he can't.

At night, he held the moon and counted them one by one by the light, thinking that it was so beautiful, and that he was really not worthy of the moon.

For a person like him, it is the mercy of the heavens to receive a ray of light, and he dare not ask extravagantly for anything else.

During the banquet, he was afraid that Yan Chen would be poisoned, so he deliberately blocked two glasses of wine for Yan Qing, but he didn't know that everything was as Yan Chen expected, what he drank was actually aphrodisiac, and Yan Qing's dishes were mixed with drugs .

The method is not clever, but it works.

Ah Yue drank the wine in one gulp, bowed three times to Pingwang: "Take care of the prince for me."

Ping Wang nodded, but A Yue smiled shyly, "If possible, quietly scatter my ashes under the peach blossom tree in Jiaofang Palace, don't tell anyone... Every year when the first flowers bloom in spring Then I will be able to see the prince. I... I will carefully select in front of the Peach Blossom Fairy to find a good wife for the prince."

Ping Wangsi bit his lip to prevent himself from crying, and helped A Yue to slowly fall to the ground.

Ah Yue spat out a mouthful of blood with a smile, closed his eyes, and said in a voice like a gnat, "But I... really don't want to see the prince marry a wife... I just want to..."

That happened in November of the 18th year of Shengping. On that day, there was a lot of snow in the capital.

When Yan woke up, he felt that the palace had turned gray overnight.

He thought, no matter what difficulties Ah Yue had, he always believed that he had absolutely no intention of harming him.It's all right to take Joe by myself for a while, first go to the father and the queen and then get him back, and it will be another matter if he will be beaten or punished in the future.

As soon as I got out of bed, I saw a bunch of moons lying quietly beside the pillow. It turned out that the person had already been here.

Half of the anger in Yan Qing's heart subsided, he called Pingwang and asked, "Where's Ah Yue?"

Pingwang didn't speak.

Yan Qing pushed him away, thinking that he should go to the emperor first.

Seeing him coming, the emperor said with a cold face and a solemn voice: "I know why you came."

Yan Qing knelt down and confessed to him, insisting on keeping A Yue.

The emperor's face turned livid: "You are my favorite prince, and you will succeed me in the future. Today's crazy talk will only treat you as a hangover and dizzy, and I don't care about you."

Yan Qing shook his head and kowtowed one after another.

Hearing the muffled noises in the hall, the emperor finally couldn't bear it, and helped him up: "I see that you are obsessed with obsession, and you don't know where your mistakes are!"

Yan Qing gritted his teeth, the blood from the wound on his head slid all the way from the corner of his forehead to his face, "I beg Father to spare his life."

The emperor clenched his fists behind his back and said coldly: "I only give you two choices, do you want the crown prince or the beggar?"

Yan Qing didn't speak, the dizziness of kneeling and kowtowing hit him, and he stood staggeringly.

The emperor said in a broad voice: "If you say you are wrong, then I will just pretend that I never went to Yan Chen's birthday banquet that day, and everything will be written off, and you are still the crown prince of Wei."

"My son..." Yan Qing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

The only sound left in the hall was the sound of blood falling to the ground.

pat, pat, pat.

……

"Where's Ah Yue?"

When he left the Hall of Holy Harmony, Pingwang couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the wound on Yan Qing's head.

Yan Qing couldn't care less about these, seeing him as if grasping at the last straw: "I asked you where is A Yue?!"

Ping Wang whispered: "I have already gone after drinking the wine given by the Queen."

Yan Qing didn't believe it, and ran to Ah Yue's house, only to see that the place was scorched black.

He smiled desolately, lay down in the snow, and let the heavy snow bury him.

The heavy snow, the howling north wind, and the dripping blood all showed his humbleness at this moment.

If he was smart enough, he would have known the origin of it as early as A Yue's hint, and he would not have fallen for Yan Chen's trick.

If he is capable enough, with outstanding talents and extraordinary political opinions, the emperor will recognize him as a well-deserved prince.

If he is strong enough, he will not look at the scorched house in the snow and miss the old A Yuelai.

After all, he is useless.

After a long time, Yan Qing got up from the snow and shook the white catkins on his body. What could not be shaken off was soaked into his clothes, heavy and cold.

He left the yard with a hooked smile, his eyes were stern and fierce, just like the wind blade in the snow.

He left and never looked back.

In January, peach blossoms bloomed in Jiaofang Palace in early spring. The Queen invited him to worship the Peach God, but he rejected the appointment.

Pingwang didn't dare to raise his head, he said timidly to the queen: "The prince said...he doesn't believe this anymore."

But looking at the tree mud, he let out an inaudible sigh.

The queen plucked a flower and put it gently on the ground, then sprinkled a pot of wine: "That's really, what a pity."

Yan Shirong asked beside him: "Why is it a pity?"

But the queen didn't answer, she patted Yan Shirong's head, and said softly: "Go tell Taohuaxian about your brother's recent situation."

Pingwang glanced at the queen in shock, but the queen went to drink tea with Zhuo Ling who was holding flowers.

It has been about ten years, and the peach blossoms are still in full bloom, apparently being well taken care of by the palace people.

——This is the queen's last wish. Before she left, she said that she had never owed anyone in her life, but only one person. She buried him for the sake of the family's face. Every time she thought about it, it was hard to express her feelings.

Her last order was to order the palace servants to take good care of the peach tree. Although the palace servants were surprised, they had no choice but to obey.

Ping Wang stood by the tree, swept the snow on the ground, and then sighed again: "Long time no see."

Naturally, no one responded to him, Ping Wang looked at the peach blossom tree and said to himself: "You are a very careful person, you must have not asked the peach blossom fairy to choose a wife for the master, he is still vacant."

"In the past ten years, I have seen it clearly, and no one has ever walked into his heart."

"Later, even the Sixth Prince left... I always feel very uncomfortable seeing him alone in the Hall of Holy Harmony looking at Luoxue."

"You, you, when you were dying, you played a trick, thinking that the master buried here would come to see you every spring, but how did you know that he never came here for ten years."

"Ayue, are you over there... are you okay?"

Before he finished speaking, there was a gust of cold wind, Ping Wang turned his head and saw Yan Qing standing behind him in frost and snow.

Ping Wang hurriedly said, "I'll get you an umbrella!"

Yan Qing shook his head, walked straight to the peach tree, climbed a branch of peach blossom, said something in a hoarse voice, but it was not very clear.

Pingwang thought he was going to stay for a long time, but he didn't know that it was only time for a cup of tea, so Yan Qing ordered to go back to the palace.

In the vast Holy Harmony Hall, all palace lanterns and candles were lit.The young but lonely king stood in the hall holding a peach blossom, silent for a long time.

At the fifth watch, the bell of Anmin Hall rang, and the lingering sound came slowly.

Yan Qing gently kissed the peach blossom in his hand, but finally put it down.

Outside the door is Ping Wang's reminder: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court."

"understood."

The door of the palace was slowly opened, and the night's wind and snow were up and down, and there was no sound at this moment.

The first ray of sunlight melting snow fell in front of him, and he walked out of the hall step by step against the light and shadow.

When he stepped over the threshold, the string of moon beads in his hand snapped, and eighteen beads fell to the ground one by one, making a crisp sound on the jade floor.

One by one, they fell into his heart.

Maybe it's because he didn't sleep all night and had an illusion. When Yan Qing turned his head, the peach blossoms on the table had disappeared.

The human face does not know where to go, Peach Blossom still laughs spring breeze.

"A Yue..." he said softly, "Did you come back?"

The author has something to say: Thanks to the little girl, Lei Lei, and a baby who did not want to be named for the fertile house water, happy!

Thanks to Minemine, the super fierce thunder and the moonlight cannon, meh!

In order to take care of the feelings of the protagonist of the extra episode, this extra episode does not show Cang Yu positively→→

I know this chapter is not sweet, and I wrote it in the middle of the night. I don’t know if I was too sleepy or I actually shed tears because of my true feelings. This is the first time a hunk has shed tears, let’s say it’s because of Yan Qing.But this is all I can think of about Yan Qing.

When I was writing, I was worried that someone would scold him and would not accept him. I hope that everyone can understand him after reading this.

In the story, he gave Liu'er two choices, whether to give birth or Xue Cuo.Because ten years ago, he also faced two choices, whether he wanted the crown prince or Ah Yue.

But I'll never say what he chose because it doesn't matter.

After posting this article, I feel that my heart has fallen to the ground, and then it is Shuangyu Fanwai, I will post it after writing.
