After the beginning of spring in February, Chen Hen and Li Yan will go north.

On the day of departure, it was Chen Hen who went to say goodbye to all the people in Zhuangzi.

Before leaving, he specifically asked Li Yan: "The emperor really doesn't want to say goodbye? Maybe I won't see you for many years."

Li Yan lowered his eyes, it doesn't matter if Chen Wen and Li Tan don't see each other, Xu Xing doesn't even want to see him, the old doctor Zhang has been getting close to Xu Xing recently, besides, he only met yesterday, so he doesn't want to see him either.

So he said: "You go, I will wait for you at the door."

The emperor is waiting for you, you have to come out quickly.

Chen Hen agreed, for fear that he would not understand the meaning of the words, Li Yan added another sentence: "I can only see Xu Zhenmian for half an hour."

Chen Hen also agreed.

Chen Wen was the one who went to look for it first, and Chen Hen gave him a few words of advice, and then asked him: "I'm not seeing you anymore, Third Master?"

"It's gone." Chen Hen shook his head, "Last time we had a New Year's Eve dinner together, it was enough, no matter how many, we'll get tired of seeing each other again."

Chen Wen smiled and said, "I asked him just now, and he said the same thing."

Chen Hen also smiled: "The people who know me best, apart from the emperor, are my old enemies who are constantly fighting and chaotic."

After saying goodbye to his brother, Chen Hen turned his head and went to Xu Xing's yard.

At the beginning of spring, the old doctor Zhang began to treat his illness. At this time, a fire was being made to decoct medicine in the corridor.

The old doctor Zhang was sitting on the steps looking through the medicinal materials, and Xu Xing was sitting by the stove, holding a cattail fan to help him watch the fire.

Xu pillow sleep.

Chen Hen sighed, stood outside the corridor and bowed deeply to him.

Xu Xing asked, "Are you going back?"

"Yes."

Xu Xing waved to him: "Come here, I'll return the things to you."

He took out a few grasshoppers woven from bamboo leaves from his sleeves, which were rotten and unrecognizable how many times they had been painted, and handed them back to Chen Hen, patting the back of his hand.

"Treasure each other."

Chen Hen put the grasshopper away and nodded, "Okay."

Xu Xing smiled at him, turned his head and fanned the stove twice, and the fire became hotter.

A long time after Chen Hen left, the old doctor Zhang asked, "Why don't you give him back the one hanging on the tree in the yard?"

Xu Xing didn't seem to hear it. He lifted the lid of the medicine jar through his sleeves and took a look. The fragrance of the medicine lingered on his bones.

But he said, "What kind of folk remedy is this? Why does it take three years?"

Doctor Zhang said with a smile: "You have been delaying for several years."

"It won't happen in the future." Xu Xing made a rare joke, "I'm starting to teach Awen how to play the erhu. When I recover from my illness, I will take him out to play the piano."

When Chen Hen went out, he passed by the courtyard, and there was a plum tree with green leaves in front of the courtyard, and he picked off a branch as soon as he raised his hand.

Li Yan led the horse and waited for him in front of the door. He hid the green plum branches in his sleeves and ran to him with his hands behind his back.

"My lord, look at me." Chen Hen put his empty hands in front of him and shook them. With a backhand, he took out a green plum branch from his sleeve, handed it to Li Yan, and pinned it to his lapel. superior.

He had never practiced this before, but Li Yan saw through it at a glance, but Chen hated to beg for his reward like a cat, and Li Yan also pretended not to know and praised him: "I just said you are a god."

Chen Hen shook his head solemnly: "No, no."

He has always been very concerned about this, it seems that it is all his fault that Li Yan regards him as a god.

In fact, it didn't mean that at all. The emperor said he was, so he was.

After nearly two months of journey, it was the end of April when I returned to Chang'an.

Everyone in the world said that it was the Marquis of Zhongyi who returned to the court, but they didn't know that the emperor also went to the south of the Yangtze River secretly.

On the day when Marquis Zhongyi returned to the imperial court, Li Shi, the eldest son of Prince Rui's Mansion, led the ministers of civil and military affairs to welcome him outside the gate of Chang'an City.

Chen Hen changed into Hou Wang's clothes and rode on a tall horse.

Just followed by a carriage.

There are different opinions among the people in the court about this carriage.According to an informed official from Jiangnan, the person sitting here is the emperor's substitute, and the loyal marquis couldn't help but admire the emperor, so he found someone who looked exactly like the emperor, and held it in his palm, so that he couldn't be favored.

Chen Hen has heard some similar rumors.That carriage is the emperor, no one else knows, and they don't want them to know.

Chen Hen got off his horse in front of the city gate and greeted Li Shi first.

Before Li Shi had time to ask him how his injuries were, Chen Hen gave a high-five to General Wu from Zhenyuan Mansion from a distance.

Call him in a breathy voice: "General Wu."

Wu Duan also mouthed back to him: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Hen gestured to him with three fingers.

Wu Duan nodded and blinked to show his understanding.

After seeing the ceremony, Chen Hen got on his horse and was about to go back to the palace to face the saint - no one knew that the emperor was sitting in the carriage behind him.Entering the palace to face the saint, he thought it was funny when he thought about it.

Just after entering the city, a purse from a girl's family was thrown from somewhere, and it flew straight into his arms.

With this purse at the beginning, no one cared whether the emperor would be angry, whether the so-called "stand-in" sitting in the carriage behind would be angry, ten or eight purses were thrown from all directions, and they all hit Chen Hen's head arms.

Chen Hen held a bunch of purses in embarrassment, and when he raised his head and smiled at them, he dropped one of them by mistake, and was soon picked up by someone, and he would not return it to him after he picked it up. Throw it out.

A Suzaku long street was enough for half an hour. When passing by the Zhongyihou Mansion, Chen Hen deliberately took a look.

He was not there when he re-appointed the Marquis of Zhongyi. I heard that the entire Hou Mansion had been repaired, and it was true.

The inscription on the plaque is Li Yan's imperial pen, gold lacquered, dazzling in the sun.

Riding a horse straight to the front of the Yangju Palace—this is something that only the Marquis of Zhongyi can do.

After dismissing everyone who followed, only Li Shi and other acquaintances were left behind, Chen Hen opened the curtain of the carriage and said with a smile: "I respectfully invite the emperor to drive me."

Li Yan gave him a funny look, held his hand tightly, and took him back to the Yangju Hall.

Eunuch Gao prepared hot water for washing, and also prepared snacks: "It can be regarded as coming back, Master Hou is not here, and no one has eaten the snacks in Yangju Hall."

"Have you put any sugar?"

"Let it go, the old slave watched them let it go."

Chen hated that Hou Wang's dress was too heavy, so he slipped into the inner room and changed it.Well, it was Li Yan's clothes.

When he was coming out with his belt on, Li Shi and Li Yan were reporting the recent events in court.

"...He went to the northwest at the request of the prince, and he left before He Xing was escorted back. He didn't want to. He faced the wall by himself, smashed his hand, and it was bloody and still in prison. closed."

This was another old enemy of his. Before coming here, old doctor Zhang was still thinking about He Xing's hand.He has played the pipa with his hand for a long time, and he has some problems.Mrs. Zhang entrusted the accompanying people to bring him medicine, and now I'm afraid he won't need it anymore.

There is no need to see you again in this life, let him go.

Chen Hen sat next to Li Yan, touched a piece of dim sum to eat, only took two bites, and Wu Duan moved his finger towards him outside.

Chen Hen put down his snacks, slipped out quietly, and ran to talk to him outside the corridor: "General Wu."

Wu Duan called him: "Mr. Chen."

Chen Hen patted him on the shoulder—in fact, he wiped the crumbs of the pastry on his body: "General Wu has made great achievements in guarding Chang'an."

Wu Duan also complimented him: "Mr. Chen is also great at rebelling against Jiangnan."

After asking him a few more serious words, Wu Duan finally said to him: "Tonight at midnight, let's go drink, don't forget."

"Huh? When did I say midnight..."

Wu Duan stretched out three fingers towards him: "Just now outside the city, your gesture doesn't mean that it's midnight?"

"This is the third day of junior high school." Chen Hen made the gesture again, "This is the third day of the fifth lunar month, the day before Feng Hou sacrificed to heaven."

"Why can't it work tonight?"

"Go out and run wild at night, the emperor will be angry." Chen Hen folded his palms together, and said to the Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, with a look of pure heart, "No one is waiting for you to go home, you don't understand."

Wu Duan made a gesture to hit him: "You man, it's agreed..."

Chen Hen ran away, and in the middle of the run, he turned his head and compared him to "the third day of the fifth lunar month": "You remember, don't forget."

When he went back, Li Shizheng was talking about the reappointment of Zhongyi Hou. Seeing him coming in, he said casually: "At that time, I told the Marquis that I would make you a Zhongyi Hou. Sure enough, I was responsible for the reappointment of Zhongyi Hou this time." .”

Li Yan was about to drive him out immediately.

Chen Hen also patted him on the back: "Go to study."

Li Shi didn't even get a word of praise, so Li Shi gave him an angrily look.

Chen Hen rubbed his head, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Shizi, I have worked hard for you recently, go back and rest for a while."

He picked up the unfinished snacks on the table to eat again, and complained: "Hou Zhongyi's clothes are heavy, and the steps to worship the heaven are so high, what if I fall off? Last time when Feng Zhongyihou sacrificed to heaven, he almost fell off." fell down."

Li Yan asked him, "Where's the purse you received today?"

"Ask Eunuch Gao to help put it away."

"several?"

Chen Hen thought about it for a while: "There are probably a dozen or so."

"It attracted a dozen people to worry about it again."

Chen Hen scratched his head: "My lord, I'm not a banknote, but I'm still worrying about you."

Li Yan glanced at him, pressed his head, and ate the jade white icing on his lips.

On the fourth day of the fifth lunar month, the emperor brought the Marquis of Zhongyi to sacrifice to heaven, and on the third day of the fifth lunar month, Chen Hen ran out and played wildly with his friends all day.

It's just a title of loyalty, and Chen Hen made it look like the last free activity before getting married.

After eating some wine, it was very late again when I went back.Seeing the Yangju Hall turned off the lights outside, Chen Hen thought Li Yan was asleep, washed up in the Xinuang Pavilion, changed into clean clothes, and slipped in to sleep.

In fact, Li Yan didn't sleep at all, he just lit a small candle on the case, and Li Yan waited for him to come back while reading.

The dresses to be worn tomorrow morning, one for the emperor and one for the marquis, were neatly hung on the hanger.

Chen Hen glanced at it, then climbed into bed and covered the quilt to go to sleep.

"The emperor should go to bed too, he will be tired tomorrow."

Li Yan blew on the lamp, got on the couch, and pulled him into his arms: "Have you been drinking?"

"A little bit." Chen Hen held down his troubled hand, and said helplessly, "I'm going to walk up the steps tomorrow, no more."

Li Yan rubbed his neck: "Wait until midnight, and you just say no?"

"Tomorrow and tomorrow." Chen Hen hurriedly said, "Tomorrow I will wear the clothes of Marquis Zhongyi."

If he remembered correctly, the emperor likes dresses.

The emperor really liked it: "Remember, don't make it too heavy, and change it as soon as you come back."

"Naturally." Chen Hen replied in a serious manner, "I'm waiting for the emperor to let me off."

Playing like crazy, he got up early the next day, before he woke up, Li Yan lifted him up from the couch, and a group of people waited for him to change his clothes, and he was helped to the horse in a daze.

Still confused, Li Yan grabbed his hand and pulled him up the jade steps under the altar of offering sacrifices to heaven.

Halfway through, he remembered that this was not in line with the rules.

Normally, Li Yan was asked to walk in front and he followed behind, but Li Yan was holding his hand—on this day, the rumors about Hou Ye finding a "substitute" were self-defeating.

After struggling for a few times, while Chen Hen was still hesitating, the system's task notification sound suddenly came from his ear.

There is a new task.His feet were weak and he almost rolled down the steps.

Li Yan grasped his hand tightly, brought him closer to him, and said in a low voice: "I said I was afraid of rolling down, as expected."

It turned out that Li Yan was holding him because he was afraid that he would fall.

Chen Hen was thinking about the mission in his heart, and he couldn't open the mission panel to take a look. Thinking about the missions that the system gave him in the past, he was a little flustered.

Thanks to Li Yan for holding him.

Later, the Marquis of Zhongyi held a banquet, and all civil and military officials came to congratulate him.Li Yan let him have a day's leisure and asked him to greet his friends.

Being pestered by a crowd of people, he had no time to take a look at the task panel.

Until the evening, the seats were in a mess.

He stood in the courtyard, not knowing whether to go back to the palace or to go somewhere else.

When he was hesitating, Li Yan came to him with the wine jar.

Now Chen Hen has no choice.

The two of them sat on the steps under the eaves and drank wine. After three or two glasses of wine, Chen Hen felt more comfortable, so he found an excuse and ran out to look at the mission panel.

In fact, think about it, every time the system sends him a bad task, it is always like this.

When he and Li Yan got along just right, system tasks came like a queen mother.

Chen Hen sighed, and opened the task panel——

My jaw dropped in shock.

He looked back and forth at the task panel two or three times, and after a long time, he folded his hands together and slowly moved back to Li Yan: "My lord, it was said last night that I was wearing the clothes of Marquis Zhongyi..."

Li Yan has always followed his will: "As you like, forget it if you don't want to."

"No, I want to..."

Knowing him after all, Li Yan asked, "What happened again?"

Chen Hen raised his hand, pulled up his wide sleeves, exposed his wrist wrapped twice with red tassels, and handed it to him.
