Time passed in a blink of an eye, and Song Zhiyu's self-cultivation in Song Nian's palace became more rounded. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, Song Nian wanted Song Zhiyu to stay longer, but it was against the rules.

"Zhiyu, want to go home?" Song Nian held a sunspot, seemingly concentrating on the chessboard.

Song Zhiyu regained his senses from the chess game, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He held the chess piece in his hand and remained silent for a while before he said, "Brother Song Nian, Zhiyu will return to the Prime Minister's Mansion sooner or later."

Song Nian looked at Song Zhiyu. Song Zhiyu's eyebrows and eyes were already crooked, and Song Nian couldn't bear it, but he could only say: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and students from all over the world are returning home one after another. Are you a companion?" , I have no reason to want to stay." Song Nian put down the chess pieces in his hand and straightened his body.

Song Zhiyu not only healed his injuries these days, but also learned a lot from the fellow scholars in the same palace. Song Nian treated him like a brother. Such days would only exist in dreams before. For better or worse, sooner or later you have to wake up.But after all, he is a half-grown child, and it is also uncomfortable to face separation.In order to conceal the redness in his eyes, he bowed and saluted Song Nian. "His Royal Highness has taken care of Zhiyu during this period. Zhiyu can't repay him. When he has the ability in the future, he is willing to stand on the horse and stand beside His Highness in an upright manner." Formal etiquette, after all, is somewhat inappropriate.Song Nian was also reluctant, and never thought that he would have such a big reaction when he mentioned Song Zhiyu. Seeing that Zhiyu was so sad, he still couldn't bear it, so he stepped forward and patted Zhiyu on the back, "Don't cry, if you If you don’t want to go back, I’ll just ask Father to let you stay.”

However, Song Zhiyu thought of the gossip he heard on weekdays. He has never been an embarrassing person, especially when facing people who treat him well, so he made a decision immediately, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, there is no need to ask the emperor. Zhiyu will meet you tomorrow." Walk."

"Tomorrow?" Song Nian frowned slightly.

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow, and Zhiyu will pack it now." Song Zhiyu held his breath, and then got up to pack his luggage. Song Nian decided to leave when he saw Song Zhiyu, and he felt very uncomfortable for acting so decisively.

"Just let Yuan Xin pack the luggage." Song Nian held Song Zhiyu, and seeing Song Nian holding his hand, Song Zhiyu's emotions didn't hold up all of a sudden, and he really started crying.Song Zhiyu had a habit of crying when he was a child. Even if he cried until there were no more tears, he would cry loudly. After experiencing Song Nian again, he still patted Song Zhiyu's back at a loss, and comforted him softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, I want to stay. Just stay, if you want to leave, I will safely send you back to the Song Mansion, even though I can't protect you if you leave this bedroom, but I've always been here..."

The more Song Nian comforted Song Zhiyu, the more he cried, and he cried even without speaking. Song Nian was in a hurry, and some memories flooded up. Song Nian unconsciously said to Song Zhiyu: "Why are you still the same as when you were a child? When you cry, you just cry. It's not over." Song Zhiyu seemed to have heard and didn't hear, but stopped and looked at Song Nian with tears in his eyes, but he was still sobbing, and Song Nian realized that he had just subconsciously connected Song Zhiyu with the real world. Song Zhiyu became a person.

Song Nian froze for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Song Zhiyu continued to cry. Song Zhiyu cried so much that Song Nian's palace trembled, Yuanxin and Shangfeng stood outside the door, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

"Yuan Xin, go and have a look." Shang Feng pushed Yuan Xin, Yuan Xin was pushed by Shang Feng, his body was unstable and he stepped into the inner hall, so he had to bite the bullet and go in.

"His Royal Highness, what's wrong with Mr. Song?" Yuan Xin asked cautiously standing behind Song Nian.

Song Nian gestured to Yuan Xin and said, "It's nothing, you go out first, I'm here, no one is allowed to come in without my order."

"Yes." Yuan Xin saluted and retreated.

Seeing Yuan Xin come out so soon, Shang Feng asked anxiously, "Why did he come out so soon? What happened inside?"

Yuan Xin shook her head in doubt and said, "I don't know, His Royal Highness let me out without saying anything."

"Ah? This..." Shang Feng scratched his head and looked at Yuan Xin.

Yuan Xin pulled Shang Feng outside and said: "His Royal Highness said that we are not allowed to go in, so we will guard outside."

Yuanxin and Shangfeng stayed outside the door all night, and Song Nian also comforted Song Zhiyu all night. Song Zhiyu cried until the early morning and fell asleep tiredly. With a wrinkled face, he murmured: "Wherever I go, I cry like this..."

That night, Song Nian had a dream. In the dream, Song Nian saw the story of this world. In this world, he and Song Zhiyu also knew each other since childhood. Song Nian rescued the dying Song Zhiyu. The two formed a friendship. Soon after, Song Zhiyu lived with Song Nian in the palace as Song Nian's accompanying student, and Song Zhiyu did not leave Song Nian until Song Nian became an adult and held the crowning ceremony, and Song Zhiyu left Song Nian to learn from a hidden master. It was the familiar darkness.

In his dream, Song Nian was eager to know what happened afterwards, and the image of a person lying in a pool of blood flashed by, "Who is it?" Song Nian was asked loudly by Nightmare in his dream.

"Brother Song Nian? Brother Song Nian, wake up!"

In the dream, Song Nian seemed to hear someone's voice. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Song Zhiyu looking at him anxiously and asked in puzzlement, "What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Brother Song Nian, you're awake! Did you have a nightmare? You kept asking who it was." Song Zhiyu was relieved to see Song Nian woke up.

Song Nian froze for a moment, remembering what happened in the dream, looked at Song Zhiyu, and wondered: Who is the last person? Could it be that one of us will die?

Song Zhi met Song Nian and pushed Song Nian in a daze. Song Nian came back to his senses and explained: "Oh, it's nothing, I just had a dream. What time is it now?"

Song Zhiyu looked out the window, the sky was dimly lit, his face was covered with thin down, and his expression was a bit gloomy, "Zhiyu, you..." Song Nian wanted to say something but found that he had nothing to say.

Song Zhiyu glanced at Song Nian, sighed, turned over and got out of bed and began to pack his luggage. Neither of them spoke. Song Nian looked at Song Zhiyu, remembering that they would meet again in the future, and his heart was no longer so heavy. Song Nian got up Said to Song Zhiyu: "I asked Yuan Xin to pack your luggage for you yesterday, and you can see what is left behind."

Song Nian looked at Song Zhiyu's back and sighed.

After sorting out some medicinal materials, I found that I actually didn't have anything to take away. The food and clothing in the palace were all Song Nian's expenses, "Song Nian, thank you." Song Zhiyu knew that it was disrespectful to call him Song Nian, but he still Wanting to call him Song Nian, Song Nian froze for a moment, then smiled knowingly, Song Nian knew that Song Zhiyu was no longer angry, "Go back and be careful, take care of yourself, New Year's Eve..."

Song Nian paused, not knowing whether the Prime Minister would bring Song Zhiyu to the banquet on New Year's Eve, "If you can come with the Prime Minister on New Year's Eve, I will take you to the tower to watch the New Year."

"it is good."

Song Zhiyu left, Song Nian counted the time, there was still half a month before New Year's Eve, Song Nian had to go to school after the new year, if according to the original development, Song Zhiyu would be with him, then he could Now it seems that the most likely opportunity for Song Zhiyu to study with him is at the New Year's Eve banquet.

Thinking that if he directly proposed to the emperor at the banquet, the emperor might not agree to him, but since Song Nian came to this world, the emperor he met did not hate Song Nian as much as he said, at least he would still help Song Nian sometimes.Thinking about it this way, Song Nian felt that in the recent period, he could only try to improve his image in the emperor's heart, and at the same time try to test the emperor's attitude towards him.

In the next few days, Song Nian would go to the emperor's palace to greet him every day. At first, he just greeted him. Gradually, Song Nian saw that the emperor was not very impatient, so he began to do small things for the emperor, passing papers, grinding inkstones, and sometimes the emperor would write poems Shi Songnian would analyze and praise from the sidelines.After a few days, the emperor was not as cold towards Song Nian as before.

In the blink of an eye, New Year's Eve is coming, and the palace has been busy for half a month for the New Year's Eve banquet. Today, before night, the palaces are already extremely lively, and everyone's faces are full of joy.

Song Nian waited for the banquet after distributing "red envelopes" to the people in his palace, finally seeing that the sky was getting dark, Song Nian went to the main hall early.

"The minister (the minister's wife) respectfully invites the emperor to be safe and blessed!" The ministers who came to the banquet brought their family members to greet the emperor.

"Everyone who loves you is free of courtesy."

After greetings, the banquet officially began. Song Nian didn't care to watch the song and dance performance, so he looked around and finally found Song Zhiyu. Song Zhiyu happened to be watching Song Nian too.

Halfway through the banquet, Concubine Shu took a look at the situation in the palace, walked up to the emperor, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I just learned that Long'er just left the customs today, and this child said that he must rush to give blessings on New Year's Eve." The emperor rushed back without a moment's rest, now that he has just arrived outside the hall, can the emperor ask the concubine to invite Long Er to come in?"

"Let him in." The emperor said to Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu turned around and shouted outside the hall: "Long'er, come in!"

After finishing speaking, a tall man entered the hall and bowed to the emperor, "I wish my father and emperor good luck and peace!"

"Excuse me, Long'er has returned from school?"

"Returning to the father, the son followed the master to retreat and practiced, and learned some of the master's fur."

"Since you have returned from your studies, then show everyone what you have learned in the past few days." The emperor waved his hand.

"It's Emperor Father!" The third prince, Song Long, retreated to the center of the hall, took out his sword, and performed a set of sword skills. So proud, Song Nian felt that it would be difficult for Song Long to compete with him for the throne.

Concubine Jianshu applauded immediately after Song Long danced, and the emperor nodded affirmatively: "Yes, not bad."

"Thank you for your compliment, my son has only learned a little superficially and needs to continue to learn." Song Long lowered his head and smiled.

"Your Majesty, Long'er should be tired from dancing the sword just now, let Long'er take a seat." Concubine Shu said flatteringly.

"Well, third prince, take your seat."
