Huaigui

Helan Mingyue woke up from a short dream, and after a moment of confusion, she realized that the place where he lived was no longer the narrow wing of the palace, and everything came here last night——

"Sister Amang, take her down so that she can be resettled, and I will ask him to accompany her to school tomorrow."

"Look at his appearance, he seems to have known him before, but Gu really can't remember..."

"Mingyue, are you hungry? Ask someone to bring you something to eat!"

Under Gao Jing's expectant eyes, he only ate a bowl of corn porridge. He didn't understand the inexplicable hospitality of His Highness, so he had his own thoughts.

During this year, he often tried to find out, and heard a lot about Gao Jing from the mouths of people in Prince Yu's mansion.Many people have met him once, and they only say that he is a prince who is moody and eccentric.

Because he is the oldest prince today, Gao Pei dotes on him, and he might be able to enter the East Palace in the future.This level of relationship is extraordinary, and no one dares to neglect it.Being pampered for a long time, although Gao Jing has never forgotten his studies, his temper is very arrogant and almost lawless, and the servants of the North Palace will beat and scold him at every turn if he doesn't like him.

Someone said again that once a young eunuch was very popular with him, but one day when he was beating His Highness's back, his strength became stronger. Gao Jing was furious on the spot and asked someone to drag him out and beat him to death.Having said that, the man patted his chest and said worriedly:

"Your Highness like this, if you really become a prince, you don't know how domineering you will be..."

He Lan Mingyue was noncommittal at the time, and only felt that everyone in the Gao family was arrogant and arrogant. In comparison, Gao Jing was not that scary.Now he eats porridge by himself, stays up most of the night, insists on seeing him nod and say "yes" before he leaves contentedly.

In any case, it can't be connected with the tyrannical boy in that population.

Helan Mingyue lay on the couch personally arranged for him by the female official of the North Palace, Amang, and could not sleep all night.

It's true that he asked for this grace, so King Yu didn't have his own considerations?The scene a year ago is vivid in his memory, and he can't help but sweat coldly when he thinks of that look.

"I will send you to His Highness. You have to listen to him when you go, but you must also remember who is your master."

He remembered that his knee hurt when he kowtowed, and he only knew to answer "yes".

But after all, the cage is not in front of him, He Lan Mingyue secretly said: No matter how uncertain your Highness is, he is only a 15-year-old half-grown child, getting along with him is better than being in fear in the palace all day long, being beaten and scolded.Thinking of this, sleepiness hit him again, he rubbed his eyelids and yawned.

At dawn, a figure was reflected on the screen in front of the couch.

He Lan Mingyue was not asleep at first, she frowned slightly, and stretched out her hand to the "Yanshanxue" beside her pillow.The fingertip carved a point from Jiang Shanhui, and the figure suddenly said:

"He Lan, are you awake?"

That maid last night—who had a certain status in the North Hall, Gao Jing called her "Sister Amang"—talked, while footsteps crossed the screen.When He Lan Mingyue heard this, she turned over and sat up immediately: "Miss Amang, I..."

He was only wearing a middle coat, and because he slept irregularly, the skirts of the coat were scattered, and he frantically gathered them together.

But the action was not completely stable, and Amon had already turned the screen.Seeing the young man sitting on the side of the couch with a flushed face, she covered her mouth and smiled: "What are you afraid of, it's not like I haven't seen my sister serving His Highness since I was a child—you're awake, and it's still early, so I'm calling someone Let me wash you up."

He Lan was taken aback for a moment: "...Is this what you want?"

Aman clapped his hands lightly, and several people came in through the door, holding different things in their hands through the silk embroidered screen.Standing there neatly and lined up in a row, it always makes people think about it, and their posture is a bit weird.

Sitting on the side of the couch like pins and needles, Helan Mingyue looked at A Mang innocently, and the other party smiled lightly: "Don't be afraid, Didn't His Highness say that he would take you to school yesterday? But if you want to meet someone, I will make it look better for you so that you don't lose it." Your Highness's face—ah, don't forget, if someone asks you when you go out, just say that you are an attendant of the Yaoguang Pavilion in the North Hall, and don't mention anything else."

She spoke very fast, and seeing the young man's blank expression, she sighed helplessly, and continued on her own: "Did you hear me clearly?"

"...Yes." He Lan Mingyue lowered her head, "Thank you for your hard work, girl."

Amang was softened by the soft and overly soft tone: "Relax, you are new here, and His Highness likes it, at least no one dares to neglect you in Yaoguang Pavilion these days."

Before he could think about it deeply, Amang pulled him by the wrist and pulled him out of the room.It was the first time in her life that He Lanmingyue's neck felt unnoticeably hot when she came into contact with a woman. Before he came back to his senses, Amang let him go, and then stood aside, waiting for the servants in the palace to rush up, hurriedly serve.

It was an unprecedented experience for Helan Mingyue to be tossed and tossed by them, and she couldn't help but think of Murong Yun's words: "Your Highness, I heard from my family... When you like it, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, you can just let it play you. When the strength is over, it will be discarded like a shoe, and there will be no more questions."

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of "like" in Murong Yun's mouth, but now that he was dressed up, Aman was personally supervising the work, pointing from time to time not to make His Highness unhappy, and he suddenly understood.

Gao Jing's liking is just the simplest thing, the possession of a child.

Like a piece of clothing or a plaything, you hold it in your hand when you are happy, and kick it away if you feel uncomfortable.There is no reason for his love and hatred, and he can't see the trajectory, he can only get along with each other tremblingly.

But is Gao Jing really like this?

He drooped his eyelashes, his eyes fell on a belt around his waist, and he thought: "Abandoned, ignored, treated like a plaything... This will never happen to me."

If you don't grasp Gao Jing and become a person who can speak, wouldn't the humiliation and humiliation of the past ten years of cold and heat be in vain?Prince Yu's mansion was in constant embarrassment, once he left, he would never go back to those days.

He wanted Gao Jing to be inseparable from himself.

The North Hall is the residence of the Central Palace, and Gao Jing now temporarily lives in the Yaoguang Pavilion.

According to the tradition of this dynasty, the prince will go to the fief when he is an adult, but it is not the same thing in reality.Among the princes and kings of the dynasty, King Yu granted a license to rebuild his mansion in Luocheng because of his friendship with His Majesty, while King Ji was still living in Ziwei City because the emperor was still young when he came to the throne, and he was weak and sick. In the palace of the chapter.

The Yaoguang Pavilion is located in the southeast of the North Hall. Although it is small in size, it has all kinds of internal organs.The tallest is a small three-story building with carved beams and painted buildings, which is extremely exquisite. When you climb up the building, you can look around the surrounding scenery and face the Mingtang, the emperor's residence, far away.

This palace was originally built by Emperor Jingwen for his wife, but it was a pity that Empress Jingwenxian's concubine had a bad life and left early.Until now, a few years after His Majesty succeeded to the throne, he ordered the rebuilding of the Yaoguang Pavilion.On the day when the Yaoguang Pavilion is completed, His Majesty will get married and the Dugu family will enter the harem.

Such a meaningful palace is now cheaper than Gao Jing, which shows how much it is favored.

When Helan Mingyue went neatly to the main hall, Gao Jing was having breakfast.He ate delicately, every dish was tried by the eunuch before serving, but His Highness himself had quite objections to this.

Helan Mingyue stepped into the hall, and heard Gao Jingjian's crisp voice: "I told you that you don't have to be so cautious, how could someone who wants to kill you pass through the small kitchen in the North Hall, are you crazy?"

He couldn't hold back, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, which happened to be seen by Gao Jing.

So the complaints about the breakfast ended here, Gao Jing lay lazily by the table, not caring what his smile was.He looked He Lan Mingyue up and down, and then he smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, people depend on clothes."

The uniform uniform of the guards was improved from the Hu suit outside the Great Wall. The length of the clothes was knee-length, tied with a Guo belt, and the waistline was tucked just right.Helan Mingyue has not yet reached the year of the crown, her hair is tied high, and a long strand hangs behind her head, with the Yanshan snow on her waist, like the icing on the cake.

Aman laughed and said, "Your Highness's eyesight has never been wrong. He Lan is more energetic than the guards in the hall with such a dress. It is very suitable."

"That's natural. How can a group of crooked melons and jujubes be compared with lonely people?" Gao Jing squinted at the eunuch Chengcai, and his smile suddenly subsided, "What are you looking at! Are you allowed to look at him? !"

The eunuch hurriedly looked away, but it was too late, Gao Jing flipped the bowl in front of him with a wave of his sleeve, and the white porcelain fell to the ground and shattered into several petals: "Aman, teach him what to look at and what not to look at!"

Aman made a gesture, and the guards in the hall walked briskly, and immediately took the eunuch down.Begging for mercy was endless, He Lan Mingyue only tilted her head, her expression indifferent.

Xu Shi's expression made Gao Jing happy, he had a fit, and his heart was relieved due to the depression in the morning, and his tone softened: "Forget it, it's early in the morning, it caused bad luck... He Lan, why don't you go to the imperial study with Gu today?" .”

He lowered his gaze, but did not lower his head: "This subordinate obeys your arrangement."

He Lan Mingyue's voice didn't sound like a mature man's, with a hint of juvenile hoarseness, like the wind blowing into a pine tree, and it was quite comfortable to hear.Gao Jing held his chin and smiled at him, the small red mole at the corner of his eyes seemed to add luster.

"That's what Gu said." He said with a smile, and casually took a small bowl of lotus leaf soup and gave it to him.

After He Lan finished drinking, the colored glaze on the roof was reflected in the small white porcelain bowl.He was in a trance for a moment, then was pushed by Amang, and stood behind Gao Jing with his head down.

Gao Jing is usually domineering, but he is a royal self-cultivation after all. When eating, he eats silently and slowly, with his eyes focused.He looked at Gao Jing's side face, and felt that the other person's face was cute when he was not talking. This thought flashed through his mind, and He Lan couldn't help but find it funny. He thought about evaluating His Highness's beauty and ugliness. He had never thought about it in the past.

After breakfast, Amang changed Gao Jing's clothes again, and then summoned the guards from the North Hall to invite His Highness to enter the school.

Ziwei City was originally the eastern capital of the former dynasty, and the scale of the palace city was not comparable to that of Xijing.After the Gao family came to power and the war subsided, Emperor Taizong Zhaocheng lived in Pingcheng. In order to be famous, he began to repair Ziwei City in Luoyang as the imperial city.It was not until the time of Emperor Jingwen that the capital was moved, that there was today's Spring Breeze Ten Miles.

The imperial city is divided into the front palace and the back palace, and the school where the prince and relatives' children study is between the two.Emperor Jingwen personally inscribed it and named it "Shuyuzhai". It is a half-moon-shaped library with an outer side and an inner circle.

He Lanmingyue only said that Gao Jing's status was far superior to others, and that King Yu and King Ji had no heirs, so he presumably studied alone.When I got to the place, I realized that I was very wrong.

The emperor's cousins ​​and teenagers of the same age as the concubine's mother's family, about a dozen people, all studied in Shuyuzhai.Before the husband arrives, a group of ten-year-old children are chattering, although the voice is not high, it is enough to make the sky full of excitement.

He escorted Gao Jing to sit in the middle, thinking: "It is rumored that His Majesty respects teachers and teachers, and it seems to be true. But King Yu doesn't seem to care about these things, even the study room is less in the mansion."

Just as he was thinking about the connection, a child's voice came from his ears. He looked away, and a half-year-old boy about the same age as Gao Jing stood respectfully in front of the desk, bowing and saluting: "Meet the Second Highness."

"Stop here." Gao Jing said without raising his head, "Gao Yu, you're so polite, but you want your brother to ask for something for you?"

As soon as he said this, He Lan Mingyue immediately understood that the person in front of him was none other than the third prince under the knee of the favored concubine Ling, Gao Yu, a three-year-old child prodigy who was said to be able to read a thousand characters.

The young man's eyes were extremely dark, he smiled and accepted the courtesy: "Brother, let me talk to you!"

Gao Jing couldn't hold back his smile, he glanced at him and said, "Go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do."

"Brother's birthday yesterday, I heard it was very lively, but my concubine didn't let me watch the fireworks..." Gao Yu squeezed next to Gao Jing, with his chin resting on Gao Jing's shoulder, getting very close, "Brother took me out tonight Palace!"

Gao Jing smiled a little coldly: "Going out of the palace?"

Gao Yu didn't realize it, and rambled: "I heard that Luo City will be lively for three days and three nights on the Qixi Festival. Last night, the Fuwei River lit up the lights. Today, I want to watch the fireworks at the Yunlang Pavilion. I want to go, but the concubine is worried..."

Gao Jing interrupted him: "I won't leave the palace at night, you can figure out a way for yourself."

"Brother..." Gao Yu didn't give up, grabbed his arm and shook it, trying to act like a baby, but was let go.

"Here comes sir. Go back to your own seat."

Gao Yu was a little annoyed, but he didn't show any resistance, he seemed to have guessed the result, he responded and returned to the front, sat down and looked back, met Gao Jing's gaze, and stuck out his tongue at him.

Gao Jing warned with lips: "Study."

On the contrary, the relationship between brothers is not as discordant as imagined. Gao Yu was so spoiled just now, but now it seems that it is nothing more than arrogance and arrogance.The rest of the teenagers who entered the school, because their status is much lower than these two, they just watched from a distance when they saw them fighting.

The court hall in Beining did not have the cumbersome rules of the Southern Dynasty, and even Shu Yuzhai was contaminated with such customs.

Mingyue was guarding the outside room, and when she saw a middle-aged man in her 50s or [-]s entering, she raised her hand to interrupt the teenagers who wanted to call their master, and said straight to the point: "Don't talk nonsense, have you memorized the books you arranged last time?"

A group of children kept silent, and the middle-aged man frowned, showing a deep gap: "Gao Yu, come here."

Helan Mingyue was secretly startled that he was not called "Your Highness", not knowing where this person came from.

And Gao Yu, who was still in front of Gao Jing just now, was called by name, restrained all jumps, and stood uprightly.He first bowed to the teacher in front of him, then opened his lips, and the words were correct.

"From the son of heaven to the common people, one is based on self-cultivation. Its origin is chaotic and those who are not governed are not. What is thick is thin, and what is thin is thick. There is no such thing. This is the foundation of knowledge, this is called Knowing the best....The ruthless can't say enough, fearing the will of the people. This is called knowledge." After Gao Yu said, he said, "Please give me your advice, sir."

"Very good. You must take this as a commandment for the truth." The middle-aged man's expression softened a little, he stroked his beard for a moment and still remained serious, "Today we will start with 'self-cultivation lies in rectifying one's heart'..."

He Lan Mingyue leaned against the wall and listened to the whole class, very speechless.

It was not easy for him to be able to eat since he was a child. Later, King Yu sent him to Lu Yi to be educated, and he completely ignored the practice of calligraphy and reading, and only paid attention to the practice of martial arts to strengthen his body.Now he sees that Gao Yu is only eleven or twelve years old, and can already recite a large section of "The Great Learning", but he himself does not know a single word, and he doesn't even know how to hold a pen, so he feels guilty and unwilling for no reason.

After Gao Jing finished going out, what he saw was his serious expression, and he couldn't help asking: "What are you thinking?"

He Lan Mingyue stood up straight suddenly, and replied: "This subordinate knows his mistake."

"Where is it wrong?" Gao Jing was in a good mood, and turned his head towards him, with smiling eyes.But before Helan Mingyue could answer, someone trotted all the way behind him, calling "Big Brother".

The smile in his eyes fading away when he saw Gao Jing, but the corners of his lips raised politely, and he turned around: "Brother Yu."

Gao Yu seemed to be chasing him, these few steps ran so fast that he was sweating slightly in the early autumn wind.He stopped in front of Gao Jing, and took his hand affectionately: "Brother, will you send me back to Chaofeng Pavilion today?"

"I have something important to do, but I can't accompany you. Let's go another day, brother will take you to catch butterflies." Gao Jing said softly, pulling out the hand held by Gao Yu without a trace, "Run slower, so as not to catch the wind and catch cold. "

Gao Yu nodded vigorously: "Then I'll leave first, brother be careful on the way back to the palace."

Pushing his shoulder, Gao Jing didn't answer the question of concern, but handed him over to his followers, saying: "Take care of the Third Highness, be careful, don't let him run around and break his knee like last time."

After finishing speaking, Gao Jing watched the person take Gao Yu away, the smile on his lips disappeared, and the good mood seemed to disappear.He let out a long breath, and looked at He Lan Mingyue—compared to Gao Yu's entourage, he was only taking himself with him, He Lan Mingyue inexplicably felt a little strange.

Isn't it said that Gao Jing, as the son of the eldest son and the oldest, should be the most favored?

"Let's go." His voice interrupted He Lan Mingyue's thinking, "Don't just stand still."

"Yes." He Lan held Yan Shanxue tightly, and swallowed back all the questions in her belly.

All the way back to the North Hall, Gao Jing didn't have much to say, let alone the high spirits he had when he went to Shuyuzhai.As soon as she stepped into the gate of the North Palace, Helan Mingyue's excellent ear caught the commotion.

The person walking in front stopped suddenly, he was caught off guard and almost bumped into Gao Jing's back.

He couldn't help asking: "...Your Highness?"

Gao Jing frowned, and raised his hand to stroke it, as if it could only be stretched by external force.As they got closer, He Lan Mingyue heard him complaining, "Here we come again", but he didn't know who he was referring to, there was already a child stumbling around not far away.

He is short in stature, his clothes are not neat, his whole body is filthy as if he rolled out of the mud, he is young, his cheeks are painted with dust, but he runs to Gao Jing persistently.

He shouted vaguely: "Brother...Brother..."

Gao Jing flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the palace gate as if he didn't hear.

The child froze in place, not knowing whether to go back or catch up, and after a long while, he cried out with a "wow".

I don't know why today is so thick and long
