Sentiment

The slender fingers grasped the wine glass made of white jade, and slowly brought it to the lips. The lips were light pink and thin, and there seemed to be a slight blue stubble on the lips.The big palm with distinct bony fingers was slightly raised, and the pale yellow liquid slowly flowed into the mouth along the slightly parted lips, and the Adam's apple moved slightly, making a swallowing sound.

The overflowing wine slowly flowed down the corners of his lips, streaked across the light blue stubble, flowed through his Adam's apple, and slowly disappeared into the black collar.

Xiao Yunrui looked coldly at the dancing girl writhing in the middle of the banquet, and frowned subconsciously. I really don't know what kind of banquet there is to participate in. If it was him, he would rather deal with business in the study room, or practice in the practice room , and more powerful than this.

While Xiao Yunrui was bored and drinking on his own, a servant suddenly came in from outside. The singing and dancing in the hall froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. The servant walked up to Yuan Lang beside the emperor and whispered What to say, Yuan Lang waved the man back, raised his leg and walked to the side of the emperor, leaned over and said, "His Royal Highness King Xian is back!"

The emperor's slightly squinted eyes lit up instantly, and he waved his hand to make all the dancers in the center of the hall retreat, and even the musicians tactfully stopped playing.The emperor said with a cheerful tone, "Hurry up!"

Everyone was staring at the emperor, and Xiao Yunrui was no exception.All the civil and military men of the dynasty are listed here, but the person who can make the emperor look happy, Xiao Yunrui has a candidate after a little thought, and there is a gleam of light in his usually cold eyes, could it be that person?Xiao Yunrui asked himself in his heart.

The wine glass in his hand was clenched unconsciously, and his eyes were fixed on the entrance of the hall. The figure that haunted him suddenly appeared in Xiao Yunrui's field of vision. The throbbing in his heart is only known to him.

This separation lasted for more than a year, and his face seemed to have grown haggard, presumably it must be because of his repeated journeys, that he returned to the palace on New Year's Eve.Because of the rare blizzard at the end of last year's winter, Xian Wang Xiao Yunchong was sent by the emperor to appease the refugees in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, he directly opened a granary to provide relief when the people had no food, and then distributed grain seeds during this year's planting season. I have been so busy that I have not returned to Kyoto until now.

The prince's court dress with black upper part and red lower part is embroidered with a lifelike image of a four-clawed golden dragon, but the majestic dragon's eyes are somewhat fearful. This is a symbol of the prince's fear of the emperor, and it is also a warning from the emperor to the prince. Don't think about it overnight. Something that doesn't belong to you.The white jade bead crown on the head binds the long black hair, so that it does not look messy at all.Except for Xiao Yunchong's slightly haggard face and thin body, there were no traces of his long journey.

Xiao Yunchong walked quickly to the center of the hall, lifted his robes and bowed to the emperor, his voice was as warm as jade, "I bow down to my father!"

"My son has worked hard," Diwang Longxin rejoiced, and ordered Yuan Lang, who was waiting by his side, to step forward and help Xiao Yunchong up. "Is this trip to the south of the Yangtze River going smoothly?" Naturally, it was smooth, because not long ago, the emperor received a memorial from Xiao Yun who rushed to send it.

"Fortunately not disgraceful!" Xiao Yunchong stood up and bowed his head to the emperor again, his voice was gentle, as if a stream of pure water had poured into the heart of Xiao Yunrui whose eyes seemed to pass by him inadvertently, and there was a wave of excitement in Xiao Yunrui's heart Ripples in circles.

"Seat!" The emperor waved his palm, Xiao Yunchong bowed his head and saluted, "Thank you, Father!" Then he slowly walked towards the empty short table in front of his princess, which was where he usually sat at banquets.After Xiao Yunchong took his seat, the maids entered one after another, all kinds of dishes were arranged one by one, and even the wine glasses were filled with fine wine.

The singing and dancing continued, but Xiao Yunrui's heart didn't wander this time, he just lowered his head and meditated.Just when he inadvertently raised his head, his eyes collided with Xiao Yunchong's. Xiao Yunchong raised his cup and smiled at him, as warm as jade.

Xiao Yunrui raised his glass to signal, and then drank the fine wine in the glass, but he kept watching him from the corner of his eyes, watching him drink with a smile, his Adam's apple twitched slightly, Xiao Yunrui couldn't help swallowing his saliva, why did he have a kiss? impulse?Xiao Yunrui closed his eyes, and stuffed his dirty thoughts back to the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Yunchong looked at Xiao Yunrui who was bowing his head, his eyes were clear, and he had the appearance of a modest gentleman. Anyone who saw him would praise "Young Master is as gentle as jade", of course, this is also the praise of the whole Xiao Kingdom for King Xian.

Compared to Xiao Yunrui who is used to keeping a cold face, Xiao Yunchong has always been a gentle existence in the hearts of everyone.However, Xiao Yunchong knew that even though the emperor doted on him, the heir to the throne in his heart had always been Xiao Yunrui, who came from the Empress of the Central Palace. Nothing to be afraid of.

Xiao Yunrui forced himself not to think about what he had or what he didn't, and just drank the fine wine with his head down. Even the song and dance performance in the center of the hall couldn't distract him at all.Time passed slowly, and soon it was midnight. The emperor waved and everyone got up and walked out behind him. The open space in front of the imperial garden was already filled with all kinds of fireworks, and everyone followed the emperor's footsteps. The tall tower facing the imperial garden is full of people on every floor. Of course, all the royal people are standing on the top floor.

Xiao Yunrui was most annoyed by these things, but he had to accompany the emperor to see the end every year. After all, if he wanted to get that position, it was necessary to win the emperor's favor. He was as cold and indifferent as he was.It's just that this year is better than last year, after all, there is one more person by my side.

Xiao Yunrui and other princes all accompanied the emperor. Of course, there were several favored concubines at the emperor's table. The most eye-catching one was the noble concubine wearing a Jintang red cloak, who was Xiao Yunchong's biological mother. The children of each family stood at the back, and the concubines who were not favored were even in some corners with poor sightlines.

Xiao Yunchong and Xiao Yunrui stood side by side, but Xiao Yunchong's hand accidentally brushed Xiao Yunrui's sleeve from time to time, although Xiao Yunrui looked ahead and watched the emperor and the queen bow their heads to talk, or turned his head to tease the noble concubine, but he was always tight from the corner of his eye. Staring at Xiao Yunchong, every time the two meet casually, Xiao Yunrui will turn to look at Xiao Yunchong, and Xiao Yunchong will show a warm smile, Xiao Yunrui's heart is often affected by this smile, even the expressionless look It's softened a lot.

The fireworks outside the window were gorgeous, but Xiao Yunrui didn't have the heart to admire them at all. His heart was all on the man beside him, especially the faint fragrance wafting over. The smell was very familiar. Yan, because of the difficult production process, the output is very small, so apart from the palace, the entire Xiao country was rewarded by the emperor with him and Xiao Yunchong.

A faint fragrance came, and Xiao Yunrui seemed to see the young man with a gentle smile stretching out his arms towards him, and a voice as elegant as orchid came over, "Rui'er, I'm my brother!"

When Xiao Yunrui was young, the country of Xiao was not as powerful as it is today, so Xiao Yunchong was sent to Beiyou country as a proton. It was precisely for this reason that his biological mother, Tong Ya, was promoted directly to imperial concubine as an exception. Of course, it was also because of She has favors, otherwise her son would not be valued by the enemy country.

Xiao Yunchong lived in an enemy country since he was a child, perhaps because he was oppressed so badly. He has a very meek personality, and he never fights for anyone or anything.Of course, his personality would not last long in the palace, but because his mother and concubine were favored, no one bullied him on the surface, but secretly, Xiao Yunrui saw Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Yunxuan bullying him more than once. he.

Xiao Yunrui is not the holy father, but he has never participated in the team that bullied Xiao Yunchong, because what he disdains the most is bullying the weak, which can only mean that they are all weak, but Xiao Yunrui's status as the concubine of the palace is there. Xiao Yunhao and Xiao Yunxuan would often stop their atrocities when they saw Xiao Yunrui. They were afraid of this cold-faced and cold-hearted imperial brother, and they were even more afraid that this imperial brother would sue them in front of his father.

Although they hated Xiao Yunrui as much as they hated Xiao Yunchong, one was the eldest son and the other was the concubine son of Zhonggong. It was with the intention of making amends that she pampered him more and more.Fortunately, Xiao Yunchong never gossips in front of the emperor, so they can bully him unscrupulously.

But Xiao Yunrui never meddles in other people's business, and just walks away lightly every time. After all, as long as he is a prince, it is possible to get the throne, and there is always only one throne. He doesn't step forward, but never much Mind your own business.

But Xiao Yunchong seemed to have identified him, and he liked to hang out in front of him, and he was never afraid of his bad face, and always smiled when he spoke to him, no matter whether he responded or not.Although Xiao Yunrui didn't like it, he never scolded him, so Xiao Yunchong preferred to follow him.

Because Xiao Yunchong was sent to be a proton since he was a child, Xiao Yunchong actually didn't have a deep relationship with Concubine Tong, but Concubine Tong doted on him very much. He could do whatever he wanted and never forced him to do homework. Xiao Yunqi, the youngest son of Xiao Yunqi, is very strict. Xiao Yunqi, who has just reached the age of enlightenment, is forced to learn all kinds of knowledge, which is in stark contrast to his attitude towards Xiao Yunchong.

In the eyes of the princes, Xiao Yunchong is an existence who is favored but will not become a major event. Of course, Xiao Yunrui also understands this way.However, looking at Xiao Yunchong's gentle smile from time to time, Xiao Yunrui gradually got used to the other party standing beside him. If he encountered a scene of Xiao Yunchong being bullied, he would also stand in front of Xiao Yunchong, scold the other party coldly, and send him off. Give the other party a "roll" word!

Gradually, everyone in the palace knew that the eldest prince who had no sense of existence was covered by the second prince, so no one dared to continue to bully him, and Xiao Yunchong still stood by Xiao Yunrui's side. After the reprimand, he said some comforting words when he was frustrated. Although Xiao Yunrui never replied, he gradually got used to his company.
