The sunshine with the warmth of early autumn was cut into pieces by the layers of greenery, and poured down like starlight mottled. From time to time, the breeze blew past, blowing the clothes belt floating on the edge of the corridor, Ji You looked at it and suppressed it. He was a man who slept soundly in his clothes, and his fair face showed a tinge of tender red, just like the Tianxiang Xuemei Crisp he had eaten before, a little bit of red plum color came out from the snow-white crisp skin, crystal clear and beautiful.When he got closer, he seemed to be able to smell a sweet smell from his body. It was very light, but it smelled very good. It smelled so good that people couldn't help but want to take a bite.

Ji You thought about this, and his body unconsciously did so. He really wanted to taste if this person was as sweet as the one he smelled, but he was afraid of waking up the sleeping person, so he approached cautiously. , rubbing against his smooth and tender face, feeling the coolness and delicacy, slowly opened his mouth, and took a light bite.It's a pity that the other party's face is too soft and slippery, and his teeth can't keep the tender meat. After slipping away, he sticks out the tip of his tongue and licks it unwillingly. He feels a little regretful and a little happy. Although it smells sweet, But it didn't taste as expected.

The light breath brushed against his ears, Ji You moved his head away a little itchy, but he was a little dissatisfied with the distance, after thinking about it, he passed his arm under the neck of the man in his arms , let him pillow his arm, so close to each other's temperature, Ji You finally fell asleep satisfied.

When Han Ning woke up, he felt that he couldn’t move his whole body. When he turned his head, he realized that he was bound by a child like an octopus. He hadn’t woken up from the confusion of where he was. middle.

When Han Ning opened his eyes again, all the confusion in Han Ning's eyes faded away, and looking at the boy who was entangled with him like an octopus at the moment, his brows slowly frowned.

His name is Han Ning, and he is King An Ning of the Great Banquet Dynasty. His status is extremely valuable, and because of the favor of the Banquet Emperor, he can be said to be a noble person under one man and above ten thousand people.His father is the first and only king with a different surname since the founding of the Yan Dynasty, and he and the Emperor Yan are inseparable and love each other as brothers.It's a pity that he resisted the attack of the Guan bandits a few years ago and died on the battlefield.In the same year, his mother and concubine also died of a serious illness. That year, he was less than three years old, and he inherited the title, was accepted into the palace by the Banquet Emperor, and grew up with the prince in the palace.

Compared with the princes who have not been sealed, his status is more valuable than them, and because of the importance of the banquet emperor, he can almost walk around in the palace domineeringly at any time.And Yanhuang valued him almost more than the prince. He slept on the dragon bed and sat on the dragon chair. When he lost his father and couldn't adapt to the palace at first, the Yanhuang took him to sleep every day and carried him to court.All the good items for tribute are selected by him, and the rest he chooses belong to the empress dowager and concubine.

His life can be said to be extremely smooth. Although he lost his parents at a very young age, he received a lot of love. Yan Huang gave him almost all his love. In the words of some palace people, even Yan Huang The crown prince that the emperor valued was not as high as half a finger of his, so if anyone in the palace was the most desirable person to curry favor with, naturally he was none other than him.

Among all the princes, he likes the prince the most. The prince is six years older than him, and his talent and character are excellent. The queen is dignified and loving. Treat it as your own.

In the last life, these three people can be said to be the closest to Han Ning, and they thought so until his death.

Han Ning was lying on the corridor, looking at the sinking sun and the clouds in the sky, a little lost in thought, how did he die in his last life?It seems to have died of illness, and it seems to have been poisoned to death.

He remembered that when the Banquet Emperor was in power, the banquet was a time of peace and prosperity, except for the bandits who caused disturbances at the border from time to time, the whole banquet could be said to be in good weather.It's just that the Emperor Yan got old and was not as healthy as before. The princes competed for the seat more and more fiercely. Many people wanted to pull the prince down, but the prince had been in that seat for a long time, and all kinds of connections had already matured. It is naturally not easy to deal with the Banquet Emperor splitting half of the court.Among them, the second prince competed with him the most fiercely, and later it was almost undisguised, which made the banquet emperor at that time very upset.

It's just that he didn't expect that it was not the second prince Ji Mixuan but the third prince Ji You who could stand against the prince in the end.

For the third prince Ji You, Han Ning actually doesn't have much memory, because the third prince was not born yet, and her mother and concubine were thrown into the cold palace when she was pregnant.And after the prince was born, the emperor didn't release his mother and concubine, and even ignored the prince. He didn't give the prince a random name until it was about to be served on the imperial jade plate, You.

Whether it is a prince or a princess in the palace, their names are all three characters, but the third prince is different. You can see the emperor's attitude towards him in just one character.No matter how grand the festival is in the palace, the third prince is almost never allowed to participate.Han Ning grew up in the palace until he was six years old in his last life, but he had never seen this prince, let alone heard of it.

When he was six years old, it was also the only time when he interacted with the Prince of Lenggong. Han Ning no longer remembers the specifics of that year. Taixue, he was able to enter Taixue to study later, or he went to Yanhuang to intercede.He remembered that he seemed to be playing with this cold prince for a while later. When Ji You was bullied and excluded when he was in Taixue, he stood up and stood up to each other. heroes.

Later, he didn't remember how he became estranged from him, and he didn't know whether he was tired of playing this kind of game with him, or what. In his memory, Ji You would always sit silently in the last corner, never making a sound. Do not fight or fight like a marginal person, without any sense of existence.

Until Ji You turned eighteen, he had no official position in the court, and those younger than him were made county kings. Ji You asked for orders to go to Shuangchang City to join the army and march to defend the border.

A prince who has never even been out of the imperial city is looking for death if he goes to such a dangerous place, let alone a prince who is not favored and is even obviously hated by the banquet emperor, and will not send anyone to protect him, so the situation is naturally extremely difficult.It was in such a difficult situation that Ji You left the imperial city and went to a dangerous place.

After that, Han Ning never heard about Ji You again, especially since the Banquet Emperor never allowed anyone to talk about the border affairs in front of him.

In the previous life, Han Ning's knowledge of the border was only that his father died there, and there were many pass bandits that made life difficult for the people in the border.But in the environment deliberately created by the Banquet Emperor, Han Ning always thought that the banquet was peaceful and the people were rich, and those rampant Guan bandits were suppressed by the court. It was blurred, so Han Ning never even had the idea of ​​going to guard the border, because it was completely unnecessary.

The battle for the throne has become a climate where the princes come and go, and the body of the banquet emperor is also getting worse day by day, until he finally dies.At this time, the second prince jumped out to accuse the prince of his lack of virtue, and even took out a will to prove that the prince had been abolished before the feast day and replaced by the crown prince.

For a while, the crown prince couldn't justifiably succeed to the throne, and those who supported the second prince clung to the will. When the two sides couldn't compete, the third prince, Ji You, returned to the dynasty with his military power and a large number of elite soldiers, and his troops came to the city.

During that time, Han Ning felt that the whole banquet became chaotic with the death of the Emperor of Banquet, and he also suddenly fell ill at that time, and began to vomit blood. Meditation is required.Moreover, the court was in turmoil at that time, in order for him to recuperate and heal his illness, the crown prince took him to a private garden, away from those right and wrong.

But no matter how calmly he recuperated, his body was still rapidly deteriorating, and he couldn't even walk every day. If he wanted to go out to breathe, he needed someone to carry him out and in.He can only know what happened outside from the people around him.

He remembered that Ji You had a lot of troops at that time, and could overthrow the two fighting in the imperial city at any time, but he didn't move for a long time, which made everyone in the imperial city panic.Han Ning was still thinking at the time, could it be that Ji You was not interested in that seat, and that he had returned with his troops just to stabilize the situation in the court, after all, in his impression, Ji You had never been a wolf or tiger.

It's just that when he was so ill that he was sent to the palace, occasionally he could see a tall and tall man whispering something to him in a soft voice when he was awake for a while, and sometimes he was not awake and saw wearing a royal dress beside him. The man in the robe would call out to Uncle Huang in a daze, and every time he called out, there would always be a pair of warm palms holding him tightly.

The last vague memory he had before his death was hearing someone talking about King Ning and the prince's poison, someone holding him and weeping his clothes, crying and apologizing in his ear over and over again, saying that he was not Should have come back so late.

In the last period of time, the person who took care of him in his clothes should be Ji You, and the one who finally sat on the throne should also be Ji You, but he was a little confused whether it was the prince who was poisoned or the prince who was poisoned.But he was indeed ill. Although he had never practiced martial arts, he was not a weak person. He suddenly became seriously ill, and died immediately after getting sick. No matter how he thought about it, something was wrong.

A bunch of mysteries tangled into a mess in Han Ning's mind. Looking at his short hands and feet, Han Ning sighed softly. In fact, he didn't have any regrets. In his last life, even if he was too sick to walk in the end, he was served by others Well, no one dared to give him the slightest bit of unhappiness, and he had hardly suffered much in his life.Those princes fought so fiercely, because Yanhuang protected him, and he was a non-threatening existence. Almost everyone flattered him. Although his life was short, he was indeed carefree. Now let him do it again, even if he knows For the future direction, he is afraid that he will not be able to live a carefree life like in his previous life. After all, he does not know, which is a blessing.

Hearing Han Ning's sigh, Ji You released him slightly, staring at him with clear black eyes unblinking: "Are you awake?"

Han Ning sat up and wrapped his sleepy clothes casually. When he looked up and saw Ji You staring at him closely, he asked involuntarily, "What's the matter?"

Ji You shook his head, and after a while, nodded again, looking at him anxiously: "Are you coming tomorrow?"

Han Ning stood up and said casually, "I don't know, let's talk about it tomorrow." He didn't know when he was back now, but looking at Ji You, who was as tall as Doudin, and himself, who was about the same height as him, he thought he should He was about six or seven years old, and he remembered that Ji You was four years older than him, and the fourth and fifth princes in the palace who were about the same age as Ji You were a head taller than him, but Ji You was so thin.He knew that Ji You had a bad life when he was a child, how could a prince living in the cold palace be any better, but this was the first time he felt his badness intuitively.

Seeing Ji You's expectant eyes dimmed a little because of his words, Han Ning couldn't bear it for a while, so he added another sentence: "I will come over when I have time, and I will bring you delicious food when the time comes."

Ji You laughed happily when he heard the words. He actually doesn't need any delicious food. Anyway, he has grown up now and has a way to fill his stomach. He hopes that Han Ning can come to play with him often. Concubine Mu After his death, there were only him and the old nanny in this cold palace, and Han Ning was the first sunshine in his life.

Han Ning walked under the wall of the cold palace and climbed up the ladder. When the guards outside the wall heard the movement, they quickly jumped onto the wall and hugged him down. One of the baby-faced bitter gourds turned towards him Said: "Master, can we not come here in the future? This is a cold palace. If His Majesty finds out, he will be angry."

These two people had been with him in the previous life. The one with a calm and serious face was called Hong Yi, and the one with a baby face was called Hong Er. They were guards trained by his grandfather's family. Among the elites, he selected two close-sighted ones. All the princes, even the princes, were only accompanied by eunuchs and maids who waited on others, and he was authorized to have two guards who could learn martial arts, which also allowed him to be in this world. The palace looks very different, which shows how much the Banyan Emperor dotes on him.

Hearing Hong's second words, Han Ning snorted softly: "How could Uncle Huang be angry with me, you are too timid."

Hong Yi stepped forward to re-dress the master's clothes neatly, and asked in a low voice: "Master, are you hungry?"

Han Ning glanced at the sky: "What time is it?"

Honger said, "It's time for you."

Han Ning tugged at the hem of his clothes: "Let's go, go and find Uncle Huang, and see if Uncle Huang has eaten."

Hearing this, Hong Yi bent down, intending to hug Han Ning.It is not a short distance from here to Qing Cang Hall, and his master is delicate and precious, so naturally he can't walk that far.

Han Ning was in his twenties before he died, how could he let a boy in his early teens hug him like this now, but as soon as he walked out of the cold palace, Han Ning stopped and stretched out his hand towards Hong Yi with a blank expression .When his short legs reached the Qingcang Hall, his uncle might be about to go to bed.

The gorgeous palace was empty, the people in the seat buried their heads at their desks, the old eunuch bowed slightly, and the whole hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard.After reading one memorial after another, the Banquet Emperor raised his eyes to look at the sky, and asked casually, "Ning'er hasn't come yet?"

The old Taizi bowed his body a little more: "Go back to Your Majesty, I haven't seen King Ning yet."

The emperor snorted coldly: "This little thing, running around all day, can't remember what he said."

The old eunuch raised his body a little, and tentatively said: "But you want this slave to look for King Ning?"

The emperor was silent for a while, then shook his head and said: "Forget it, let him go and play, the supervision is too harsh, I'm afraid he won't like this emperor uncle in the future."

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "How could it be? His Highness King Ning always said that the person he likes the most is the emperor, and no one else can compare to one ten-thousandth."

The emperor looked at the old eunuch: "Ning'er really said that?"

The old eunuch said: "This old servant has heard it with his own ears for a while, but he dare not lie to His Majesty."

There was a bit of a smile on the emperor's face, and then, a burst of running noise disrupted the silence of the hall, and the smile on the emperor's face suddenly increased.

When Han Ning saw Yanhuang, his heart was calmer than he thought. He thought that he would definitely cry out excitedly. After all, this is the person he loved all his life. To him, he is like a father. It's just that now, although there are turmoil in his heart, it didn't disturb his mind. As usual, he rushed into the arms of the Banquet Emperor, and called Uncle Emperor with a bright smile.

The emperor picked Han Ning up and put it on his lap, pretending to be displeased: "What time is it? You promised to have dinner with the emperor, and you just came back now. Where did you go?"

Han Ning hugged the emperor's arm and rubbed it: "I have already hurried back, but the palace is so big, it's getting dark from one end to the other end!"

The emperor immediately looked at his little arms and legs with distress, then turned his head to the old eunuch and said, "Go and draw up the Taoist decree, and later allow King Ning to be driven in a sedan chair in the palace."

Han Ning hummed, "It's too slow to move the sedan chair."

The emperor shook his head disapprovingly: "You are too young to ride a horse."

Han Ning quickly pointed to Hong Yi Hong Er who was outside: "They are not young, they also know martial arts and can ride horses!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, and finally the emperor was defeated first: "Then you promise to the emperor that you are not allowed to ride a horse without Master Wu's permission!"

Han Ning nodded with a smile on his face, looked at him, the emperor also smiled, and stretched out his hand to scratch his itching point: "Satisfied?"

Han Ning said: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor!"

The emperor said again: "Today, I paid tribute to a batch of rare gadgets from Qiu Zhuo. After you finish your meal, you can go to the Treasure Pavilion to pick them out and see if you like them."

Han Ning quickly asked, "Is there a Ye Mingzhu?"

The emperor smiled and asked: "Like Ye Mingzhu?"

Han Ning hummed: "I want to use Ye Mingzhu to make a bead lantern. I already have eight of them, and I still need two more. I want to be perfect."

The emperor pinched his face affectionately: "Okay, Uncle Huang will send someone to find Ye Mingzhu for you, so that you will be perfect."

When the uncle and nephew were getting close, the eunuch outside sent a message that the prince asked to see him. Because of Han Ning, the prince often came to eat together. When this time came, it was the meal together, and the emperor summoned him directly.

The crown prince, Ji Gehua, is both the eldest son and the eldest son, born of the empress, and he was granted the title of crown prince at the age of six.Good character, whether it is talent or martial arts, they are all outstanding. In addition to the prince who has different ideas from him, many little princes in the palace also like this prince brother very much, but this prince only loves him. Han Ning is special.

Because of the banquet emperor's love for Han Ning, and the queen's treatment of Han Ning as her own, it is only natural that the crown prince treats Han Ning well.Since Han Ning was relatively close to the prince since he was a child, he never thought much about it.

Now, after a lifetime, seeing the young prince again, Han Ning felt a little complicated for a while, he didn't want to doubt the prince's brother, after all, the good times for so many years were not fake to him.But the prince is the closest person to him, and also the person he is least defensive about.The Emperor of Banquet protected him almost to the point of watertight, even if the Empress of Banquet had been here for a long time, there were still enough people left to guard him.So if he died of poisoning, there are not many people who can attack him, and the prince is one of them.

In the past, when Han Ning saw the prince, he would go up to him and call him brother sweetly, but now he was sitting on his lap without moving. The emperor looked at Han Ning strangely: "Ning'er?"

Han Ning looked back at Yanhuang, asked him what he was doing with his eyes, Yanhuang patted his head: "But are you hungry?"

Han Ning nodded: "Well, I'm hungry."

The Emperor of Banquet hurriedly sent someone to pass on the meal, and the prince who was standing below lowered his eyes slightly, the corner of his mouth smiling unabated.

It's not that the emperor's every meal is delicacies from mountains and seas. Although the state treasury is full of banquets, the emperor of banquets is not a person who seeks pleasure, but whenever Han Ning dines with him, the meals will inevitably be somewhat grand.

The eunuchs in the Qingcang Palace knew very well how much the emperor loved King Ning, so they didn't need the emperor to ask, so they naturally put King Ning's favorite dishes in front of King Ning, and the emperor on the side even picked up the dishes for him himself. : "The eight-treasure duck you wanted to eat last time, try it to see if it is the taste you like."

There is an imperial chef in the palace who is best at making eight-treasure duck. Because Han Ning likes to eat it, he is rewarded a lot, but he was killed when he returned to the ancestor's grave.But after a lifetime, Han Ning actually forgot what the eight-treasure duck tasted like in his memory. After eating the dishes brought by the Banquet Emperor, Han Ning tasted it and nodded: "The taste is similar."

The emperor was immediately happy, and hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Today's imperial meal is not bad, thank you." God knows how many cooks he sent for, and finally he made a duck with almost the same taste.

Hearing the banquet emperor's loud reward, Han Ning didn't know why he suddenly found it funny, so he laughed out loud.

Hearing Han Ning's laughter, the emperor couldn't help laughing too, and patted Han Ning's back carefully for fear of choking: "What are you laughing at, silly, eat well and don't choke."

Sitting opposite the two, the crown prince saw the picture of father's kindness and son's filial piety in front of him, the smile on the corner of his mouth remained unchanged: "Ning'er must be happy that he finally found his eight-treasure duck, so Ning'er, keep laughing." , your eight-treasure duck will be cold."

Hearing the prince's words, Han Ning looked over subconsciously, but when he touched the prince's eyes, his heart felt cold.

He never knew that the prince brother who had always been gentle and close to him in his memory would be jealous of him.
