Loyalty Hou Tiansheng rebellious

On New Year's Eve of this year, Chen Hen was only 17 years old.

Woke up in the morning to pay homage to the ancestors, and rested on the couch at noon for a while, Aunt Lin woke him up in a warm voice: "Hate slave, it's time to get up, don't you still have to enter the palace? Auntie made some snacks, you take them into the palace To your reading friend."

Chen Hen rubbed his eyes, got up from the couch, and reached out to reach for the clothes hanging in front of the couch.

Aunt Lin moved quickly, picked up the outer shirt, shook it off twice, put it on for him, and asked: "Is this material comfortable to wear? It's cold at night, should I wear two more?"

"Yeah." Chen Hen lowered his head and tightened his belt, "Aniang, I'll be back tonight."

Aunt Lin helped him tug at the skirt of his clothes: "You don't need to hurry, just play with your friends for a while before you come back."

Chen Hen put on his shoes on the bed, and brushed the hem of his clothes again: "I will go over later and tell the aunt that Auntie is sick, so I won't come over for dinner tonight to set the rules. I will come back early in the evening to watch the new year with Auntie."

"No need." Aunt Lin got up, lifted the cloak, and put it on him again, "It's Auntie's job to make rules, and I'm used to it."

"Today's New Year's Eve, Auntie, let's take a break too." Chen Hen tilted his head and rubbed the rabbit fur on the side of the hood, "I'll go talk to Auntie about it."

Seeing that she was silent, Chen Hen hurriedly said again: "I want to eat the chestnut cake made by my mother, and I want to eat it as soon as I come back, so my mother is not allowed to make rules tonight."

Aunt Lin lowered her head and replied: "Okay, if Madam shouldn't, don't force yourself."

"I have a sense of proportion." Before leaving, Chen Hen took off the jade ornaments hanging around his waist and gave her: "The reward I got at the mansion this morning, I will keep it for Auntie."

Before she could refuse, Chen Hen said again: "My father took it off and gave it to me, so Auntie can keep it."

Aunt Lin clenched the jade pendant in her hand, and finally nodded in agreement.

The north wind was blowing hard, and it was still snowing. Chen Hen wrapped himself in a cloak and went out.

When he went to Da Furen's courtyard, he met his elder brother Chen Wen, and they went out of the mansion together to the palace.

"Liting." Chen Wen got on his horse, pulled the rein, and drove the horse forward two steps, "Are you watching the new year in the palace tonight?"

"I'll go home with Auntie...Auntie."

"Baye will let you go?"

"It was agreed in the morning that if I go to the Crown Prince's mansion after the palace banquet this year, I must also rest at the Crown Prince's mansion. I'll just leave at that time."

Chen Wen raised his hand and pulled his hood down, turned his head and saw Xu Xing who was driving a horse from the other side of the long street, and bowed to him on horseback.

Chen Hen turned his head to see him because his back was turned. After saluting, he turned his head and asked Chen Wen, "What about elder brother? Go to the third master's residence, or go home?"

Chen Wen smiled and said nothing, but turned to Xu Xing and asked, "What's the plan for Zhenmian?"

Xu Xing also didn't answer.

Dismounting about ten steps away from the palace gate, Chen Hen's eyes were sharp, and from a distance he saw that the person in front of him who was about to enter the gate was Little General Wu from Zhenyuan Mansion.

While the guards in front of the palace gate were checking the waist card of the palace, Chen Hen slowed down and approached, ready to stuff the snowball into his collar.

Wu Duan practiced martial arts, and the policeman felt very uncomfortable, so he raised his hand to block his hand: "Childish."

With a snap, Chen Hen threw the snowball in his face.

Wu Duan scolded him: "Childish!"

The guard guarding the gate sternly said, "No noise is allowed."

After entering the palace, Chen Wen and Xu Xing went to look for Li Tan, the third son of the emperor, while Chen Hen and Wu Duan went to Mingcheng Hall to look for Li Yan.

The little eunuch serving outside the door took the cloak they had untied: "My lord just came back from Changle Palace talking to the empress, and now I'm lying on the couch reading a book, I don't know if I fell asleep."

Chen Hen made a silent motion towards him, turned around and ran out of the hall, and rolled another snowball.

Wu Duan laughed softly and said, "How dare you?"

Chen Hen said, "Look if I dare."

He entered the inner room with the snowball in his hands. Li Yan was indeed lying on the couch with a book in his hand, but he didn't read it, maybe he heard the voice of someone outside.

The servant in the palace went home on the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Chen Hen, a heartless person, stayed at home for several days and never entered the palace once.Li Yan rewarded him several times, but never entered the palace to thank him.

So Li Yan stared at him.

And Chen Hen felt a little guilty after being stared at by him. He walked over and put the tool of crime in his hand - a snowball - on the small case on the couch.

"I originally wanted to make a rabbit for you." Chen Hen added, "I definitely didn't want to stuff it into my clothes."

rabbit.

Li Yan still looked at him.Chen Hen was inexplicably awkward, and put the dim sum brought from the mansion on the case: "The mansion made some dim sum, and this is for the Lord."

Li Yan said unhurriedly: "Didn't you say pinch a rabbit?"

Chen Hen was holding the pinched rabbit in the palm of his hand, concentrating on drawing eyes on it, but Li Yan said casually, "Why haven't you come here for a few days?"

"The minister sent someone to ask Xunzhi if he would like to come here together. Xunzhi said that there is no need to bother, and that it is good to come today."

At that time, Wu Duan was leaning over to look at Chen Hen with rabbit eyes, and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw Li Yan's gaze, like a sword, and said weakly: "The rules are indeed like this."

Chen Hen fixed his eyes and held the rabbit to Li Yan: "How many more do you want? How many more can I make?"

"No, just this one."

The palace banquet ended late at night.The crown prince, Li Jinnian, was only twenty, and he was praised by everyone in the government and the public.

Zhilan Yushu, the son of the family around him, and Shen Jiang, the eldest son of Shen Yushi's mansion, caught his eyes the most and were by his side all year round.

When the crown prince Li Jin came out, he met Li Yu, the sixth son of the emperor.

Li Yu's mother and concubine were from the barbarians, and they went there a few years ago. He also had a younger sister, who grew up under the imperial concubine's lap.

He is not very gregarious, and has always been accompanied by only one musician, He Xing, who plays the pipa.

"Sixth brother, let's go to the house to watch the New Year's Eve tonight. The brothers are all here." The prince thought for a while, and then said, "Your sister is there, I will ask Zhaoyang to accompany her."

Li Yu bowed to him.

"At a young age, wouldn't it be better to walk around more with the brothers?" He shouldn't, Li Jin turned to look at He Xing again, "I don't need to play music today, just have fun."

Walking down the steps in front of the Hall of Harmony, Chen Hen and the emperor's third son Li Tan threw snowballs at each other, Chen Wen persuaded them, but Wu Duan quietly handed Chen Hen snowballs to refill the ammunition.

Obviously they are all crowned people. In Wu Duan's words, they are childish.

The scene was a little chaotic for a while, and the snowball flew towards Mr. Shen's face from nowhere. The prince raised his hand to catch it, and threw it back to Chen Hen: "Don't mess around."

He is said to be a prince, but he is actually more like an elder brother.My younger brother got into a fight with someone else, so I had to protect my younger brother first.

It's just that the snowball he threw back was stopped by Li Yan: "Brother Huang, there is no Liting."

But Li Tan was not very willing to ask him to protect him: "No, it's just for fun."

The prince was not annoyed, he just said: "Let's go, we're going to have a snowball fight, the prince's mansion is big, don't make trouble in the palace."

The courtyard of the Prince's Mansion is spacious, but they didn't want to drill into the courtyard, but ran to the plum blossom forest behind.

Eating wine and reciting poems, passing flowers and decrees are all too elegant things.Young people are lively and active. How can snowball fights be fun in these things?

Chen Hen and Wu Duan exchanged glances, and they took two steps back together—Chen Hen didn't forget to pull Li Yan back together, until they reached a safe distance, one after another snowballs flew towards Li Tan.

Li Tan raised his hand to block, knelt down and threw snowballs at them, and tugged Chen Wen's sleeve: "Awen, don't worry about your brother on the other side, I don't care if my brother is on the other side." , help me quickly!"

He turned his head and shouted at Xu Xing again: "Don't hold it up, he's my cousin after all. The news about losing the snowball fight gets out, and the three of us don't celebrate this New Year's Eve!"

"Okay, okay." Chen Wen took him and hid behind a plum tree, and helped him brush the snow from his hair on his shoulders, "The third master stay here, I will fight the third master back with Zhen Mian."

"Pillow sleep, show me some face." He turned to look at Xu Xing, who also nodded.

Children were playing snowball fights like children, while the crown prince Li Jin and the eldest son Shen Jiang were standing far away and talking.

Shen Jiang said softly: "Yesterday, two more people were arrested. I always feel that something will happen soon."

"Get someone to bring it over tomorrow, and I'll interrogate it for you." The prince turned his head to watch the children playing snowball fights, "Today's New Year's Eve, let's not talk about this, and we will investigate after the New Year's Eve."

Shen Jiang followed his gaze: "I didn't understand it before, but now I understand a little bit."

"what?"

"It's nothing." Shen Jiang originally leaned on the plum tree, but now she straightened up and rolled up her sleeves, "Are you 'brother emperor' or 'elder brother emperor', it's not easy to bully them, snowball fights, or Let me go on behalf of the Lord."

It was probably because Li Yu, the sixth son of the emperor, and He Xing were talking sullenly, and wanted to go over and take them to play.

The prince also knew what he meant, raised his hand and folded the plum blossom and handed it to him: "Don't lose."

Shen Jiang smiled: "They are several years older, what is there to care about winning or losing with them?"

"If I were on my own, I would lose if I lost." The crown prince put the plum blossom branch on his lapel, "If you lose, I'm afraid you won't be happy."

Tonight they all rested at the Prince's Mansion. Chen Hen wiped Li Yan's hair clean with a clean towel, then waited for him to wash and go to bed, added spices to the censer, turned around and was about to leave.

Li Yan asked him: "Where are you going?"

"Chen..." Chen Hen couldn't lie to him, "Go home."

"It's getting late."

"I agreed with my family."

"With your mother?" Before Chen Hen could say yes, Li Yan got off the bed, "Let's go, let's go back with you."

Chen Hen was a little surprised. While he was still in a daze, Li Yan was already fully dressed and walked up to him: "Let's go."

When the two of them slipped out, they were still far away, and found that there was still someone in front of the door.

The two groups, one side is Wu Duan, who probably went out to find drinks in the middle of the night, and the other side is Li Tan, Chen Wen, and Xu Xing, who probably took them out to play because there is no curfew tonight.

The feud formed during the snowball fight just now has not yet been resolved, Li Tan saw Wu Duan and said, "What? Chen Liting won't accompany you?"

"He fell asleep a long time ago, and he didn't bother to wake him up..."

As soon as the wind blew, the rabbit fur on the side of the hood went straight to Chen Hen's nose. He couldn't hold back, and sneezed.

Before Wu Duan finished speaking, he was disturbed by this sneezing.He cursed secretly, and continued to lie: "Didn't he come to me as soon as he woke up..."

Li Yan, who had been firmly held back by Chen Hen, held his hands and walked to the bright place of the lantern under the eaves.

Wu Duan was taken aback for a moment, and then annoyed: "All of you, why don't you sleep in the middle of the night and run out to play?"

At this time, the crown prince was returning from the outside with the wine jar, and said: "Why do you all run out one by one?"

The crown prince thought for a while, then walked in with one eye open and the other closed: "Go ahead and play, don't worry about me."

Chen Hen knocked on the side door of the Chen residence, and said in a low voice, "Master Zhang."

The concierge, Uncle Zhang, opened the door for him inside: "Are you back?"

"I'm back." Chen Hen pulled Li Yan to walk in, "I brought someone back, don't tell others, leave tomorrow morning."

This seems to be the first time Li Yantou came back to the Chen Mansion, he followed behind Chen Hen, nodded to Uncle Zhang, and also called out: "Master Zhang."

Uncle Zhang closed the side door: "Go."

Chen Hen took him back to the yard. There was still a light in the room, and Aunt Lin was sitting on the couch doing needlework—clothes trimmed with rabbit fur.

"Aniang, I'm back." Chen Hen patted his sleeves, turned around to untie Li Yan's clothes, "Bringing friends back."

Aunt Lin fixed her hair in a bun and stayed on the bed, and Li Yan also called Aunt.

Chen Hen glared at him, shouting nonsense!

Chen Hen and Li Yan were sitting on the couch eating chestnut cake when the sound of shifting came from the long street.

"In a few months, I will be fifteen."

Chen Hen casually took off the copper hairpin on the crown, and lit the candles for the new year.
