On January 24, the weather was very good, and the snow melted at sunrise.

At the foot of Sanqing Mountain, after Li Yan and Chen Hen walked a hundred steps away on the stone steps, Bandit Jian waved his hand and led the guards to follow behind.

"My lord." Chen Hen turned his head and brushed off the broken snow that fell on Li Yan's shoulder, "Listen carefully, there are birdsong."

Li Yan listened quietly for a while, but he didn't hear the bird song that Chen Hen said.Just as I was about to talk to him, I realized that Chen Hen had fallen behind—his eyes were caught by the red fruit buried in the snow, and he was bending over to see.

Li Yan stood on the steps and waited for him for a while, but he didn't move.He broke the bamboo branch casually, and broke off the small bumps on the bamboo joints with his bare hands.

When he looked up again, Chen Hen had already leaned out and picked the fruit into his palm.

A bamboo branch lay in front of his eyes, and Chen Hen reached out to grab it.Li Yan grabbed the other end of the bamboo branch and didn't let go, just pulled him over.

Chen Hen pinched the fruit with two fingers and showed it to Li Yan: "My lord, look."

This is a bit like when they were in Lingnan, there were red beans in Lingnan, that is, acacia.

Once when Li Yan was still practicing swords on the mountain, Chen Hen went up the mountain to find him and picked a bagful of acacias on the way.As soon as he saw Li Yan, he rushed over, scaring Li Yan to stand still and dare not move.

When Chen Hen ran to his side, the pockets containing Acacia Zi fell apart.

The red beans fell all over the ground, Chen Hen gathered up the hem of his clothes, squatted on the ground, picked up one, and showed him in the palm of his hand.

"My lord, look at Wang Mojie's 'Red Bean Raises the South' that I talked about last time."

Li Yan smiled and reached out to get the fruit.It is only hidden by the sleeves, and it is pinned to the belt.

Li Yan pulled the bamboo branch in his hand and led him forward: "Let's go quickly, if you don't go, you won't be able to go up the mountain in time."

They didn't go to Sanqing Temple first, they only went to the other courtyard in the back mountain, where they met Li Yan's imperial sister, and they went to worship in the temple tomorrow.

Princess Changqing Xijing, there are not many people around her, most of them are waiting in the yard outside.

Xingzhi'er opened the curtain and said softly: "Princess, the emperor and Mr. Chen have passed the mountain steps."

Princess Changqing closed the scriptures, got out of the couch, put on her cloak and went out.

She was dressed in a plain shirt, standing by the door with her hands down, lowering her head, thinking about the words and sentences in the scriptures she had just read.Princess Ruoning behind her suddenly tugged at her sleeves, and then softly called out to the imperial sister.

She looked up again, only to see that the sun was just right, the snow was melting slightly, and the hem of the clothes and the soles of the shoes were sweeping, making a rustling sound.Li Yan came from the mountain path.

Princess Changqing smiled, but sighed again, took two steps forward, and called, "A Yan."

Li Yan also bowed and said: "Emperor sister."

Princess Changqing raised her eyes slightly, only turned her gaze to Chen Hen behind Li Yan, and asked in a warm voice: "Li Ting, is the journey going smoothly?"

Chen Hen took half a step back and bowed: "Thank you, Princess, for your concern."

"They're all from my own family, why are you being polite?" Princess Changqing stepped forward and pressed his bowed hand down through her sleeve, "It's cold, come in and talk."

Everyone sat down in front of the hall, and it was Princess Ruoning who personally served the tea, which made Chen Hen quite uncomfortable.Princess Ruoning saw him stand up in a hurry and was about to bow, she covered her mouth and smiled with a puff.

Princess Changqing said with a smile: "Arong, don't make trouble with him, he has a thin skin." Then she turned to look at Chen Hen: "My place is secluded, and it's rare for a visitor to come here. She is lively and likes to take care of things. You Don't panic."

Princess Changqing talked about the daily affairs of living in Sanqing Mountain for the past year, and also asked Li Yan about some things, just like gossip.

The gossip of the siblings was ordinary, Chen Hen didn't listen carefully, he just sat and watched the heat of the tea rising and flying up the beams, somehow, it made Princess Ruoning smile again.

As soon as she heard her laugh, Chen Hen withdrew his mood of flying around with Bai Qi, and heard Princess Changqing calling him: "Li Ting?"

Chen Hen subconsciously said: "Yes."

Li Yan also turned his head to look at him, saw that the teacup on his case hadn't moved at all, so he pushed the teacup towards him, and reminded him softly: "My sister asks you, this year will be safe. "

Chen Hen hurriedly said: "Thank you princess for caring, everything is fine."

Princess Changqing glanced at Li Yan again, and said meaningfully, "It's just as long as you are well."

At the lunch banquet, Princess Ruoning was still pouring wine for them. Princess Changqing shook her head and said, "I just praised you for loving handling these things, but you really don't want to let them go. Sit down, and look at how you put away the wine." How scared is Ting?"

Princess Ruoning pursed her lips, stomped her feet again, and dragged the stool to Princess Changqing's side, and the youngest daughter crowded around her and sat down.

"Look, I just said a few words to her, and she got annoyed." Princess Changqing raised her hand to pick up some food for her, "Sister Huang will apologize to you, huh?"

Princess Changqing picked up the small white porcelain wine glass, and said: "They are all vegetarian dishes, and the wine is also vegetarian wine. I will worship tomorrow, and my mother will not mind. It is rare for me to see you once, and you are all from my own family. Don't be restrained. Feel free to do it."

Chen Hen was still a little afraid of the wine, he only took a sip and stopped moving, but Li Yan was more interested and drank a few more glasses.

Xi San drank two more bottles of tea, and Princess Changqing reached out to touch Li Yan's forehead, and said angrily, "Your hair is hot, you're already drunk, let's take a nap in the afternoon."

Before Li Yan could speak, she turned her head and said: "Li Ting, you should know more about his affairs, so you can take care of it. The room has been prepared a long time ago, let Ah Rong take you there."

Princess Ruoning smiled and wished him a blessing: "Let's go, let's go." After walking a few steps, she turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Chen Hen, saying: "The two sisters are talking about themselves. "

After Chen Hen and Princess Ruoning left, Princess Changqing pulled Li Yan's sleeve: "A Yan, come with me."

Li Yan was not drunk at all, and when Princess Changqing touched his forehead, his forehead was not hot at all.

"Emperor sister, what's the matter?"

Pulling him straight to the back of the hall, Princess Changqing let go of his sleeves, faced him, withdrew her expression, and said solemnly, "Sister Huang asks you, what happened when you abolished Marquis Zhongyi?"

"That's right..." Facing his sister's questioning gaze, Li Yan suddenly felt guilty, raised his hand to cover his eyes, pretended to be drunk, stepped back two steps, and leaned against the wall, "Then thing."

"What the hell is going on? Everyone knows that the excuse you made is fake. How could he..." Princess Changqing paused and stared at him for a while, "I'm your sister, what do you have?" What is it that I can't see?"

"I..." Li Yan wiped his face, "What did sister Huang see?"

Princess Changqing stretched out a finger and poked his chest: "You, you have ghosts in your heart."

Li Yan was clearly displeased, nodded, and immediately admitted: "Yes, I have ghosts in my heart."

Seeing that he was annoyed, Princess Changqing softened her tone and said tentatively: "Just now I see that Li Ting didn't mean to be angry, does he not know?"

"He doesn't know." Li Yan nodded again, "He doesn't know the name I gave him, and——" Li Yan sighed, clenched his hands into fists in his sleeves, and said: "And I'm right He doesn't know his dirty mind."

"Why do you say that about yourself?" Princess Changqing also felt sorry for him, "During all these years, you haven't mentioned it to him at all?"

"I never wanted him in the first place until..."

Until the rebellion on New Year's Eve in the first year of the previous life.

In the past, he was free and unrestrained, and he really wanted to be a good king and minister with him. He was ready to watch Chen Hen marry a wife and have children.

Who knows the deeper the obsession.I don't know when, it has reached the point where I have to have him.

Li Yan said: "I have a measure."

Princess Changqing sighed: "Your sense of propriety is to enclose him like this. You don't care about anything, just keep him. After a hundred years, let him be buried with you. In this way, you and him will be complete?"

"No."

"Since you know that you and him shouldn't be like this, are you still doing these things behind your back?"

"Emperor sister, he..." Li Yan flicked his sleeves and said in a serious tone, "He always wants to leave, I have no other choice. As long as I don't look at him, he can run to Jiangnan, to other places place to go."

"Okay, okay, don't be annoyed."

"He clearly promised me that he would always be here, he said it himself, but he..."

Princess Changqing comforted him in a warm voice: "Okay, it's all wrong, the emperor's sister said something wrong, the emperor's sister shouldn't ask you these things."

It was probably because the alcohol really got on his head, Li Yan just leaned against the wall and stood firm, holding his forehead with his hands.

"You are probably really a little drunk. Let me ask someone to help you to rest, okay?" Princess Changqing pressed the back of her hand to his forehead again, it was really hot.

Li Yan was only like a half-grown boy, and grabbed her sleeve: "Sister Huang, I want to talk to you."

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Princess Changqing stood beside him, also leaning against the wall.

Li Yan didn't answer, she thought for a while, and then said tentatively: "The emperor's sister has never experienced love affairs, the emperor's sister is thinking, you just tell him, explain your thoughts clearly, do you think it is okay?"

"Emperor Sister..." Li Yan said in distress with a hoarse voice, "If I could say it, I would have said it long ago. I can't speak. Once I speak, he will be scared away by me."

"how……"

"I can't be close to him, and I can't be far away from him."

Li Yan continued: "He and I are brothers, a monarch and minister, breaking the sky, and I only take the name of a close person. He never thought about other things, let alone that kind of thinking. Last time when he was drunk and said he liked me, I was happy like a fool for a while, but after thinking about it, I realized that he didn't mean anything else at all."

After a long silence, Li Yan said again: "My mind is not pure, and he is the cleanest person in the world. My heart for him is too dirty, it is a pile of rotten meat, I dare not show it to him."

"Why do you say that?" Princess Changqing wiped the corner of his eyes with her thumb, "I think you are really drunk."

Li Yan lowered his head and called softly: "Sister Huang."

"Okay, okay, it's because you think too much." Princess Changqing smiled, "You heard from the emperor's sister that you said that your heart is not clean, but he definitely doesn't dislike you. You just put your mind into it." Tell him completely, you show him your heart. He must be startled by you at first, and when he recovers, he realizes that he may not be uninteresting to you. "

Finally, Princess Changqing said firmly, "He definitely doesn't dislike you."

Li Yan said: "Sister Huang, I'm drunk, go back and lie down for a while."

Princess Changqing grabbed his sleeve again: "Even though you are helpless, but this matter, the imperial sister still thinks that you have done something wrong."

"I know." Li Yan scratched his hair, "I shouldn't abolish him, let alone put him in Ye Youting, and wrong him. I have considerations, not just to keep him in circles. Da Anfen, I am afraid that someone will touch him, and he is not used to being stable. He used to make himself like that in Chang'an. Pull him out of the government and keep him by my side. I am more at ease."

Li Yan thought for a while: "Sister Huang, do you understand that sometimes a person is imprisoned to better protect him?"

"Okay, sister understands." Princess Changqing frowned, "Then outsiders?"

"You can say whatever you want." Li Yan said softly to himself as he walked back, "All the birds are hidden. Forced to become prostitutes? I really have such dirty thoughts, but I really don't have the courage to dare to put my rotten heart and lungs to death. Take it out and show him."

"It's clearly the emperor, but he still looks like a child. Go to sleep, and you'll be fine after a short sleep." Princess Changqing stretched out her hand to support him, "Emperor sister shouldn't have said this to you. "

"No." Li Yan shook his head and shook her hand instead, "Thank you, sister, I have never said these words to anyone else."

When he returned, Chen Hen was squatting on the ground adding charcoal to the fumigation stove, Li Yan stepped forward quickly, held his hand, and lifted him up.

Chen Hen glanced back and said, "How can Su Jiu get drunk?"

He clearly caught him, but he didn't know what to do with him.

Li Yan lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "I have a headache."

"The emperor lie down for a while?"

"I want you to rub it."

"Okay, okay, knead, knead, knead."

Chen Hen knelt on the bed and rubbed his head. After a while, Li Yan closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.

Chen Hen looked at him closely, and said in a low voice: "My lord, my lord, are you asleep?"

Li Yan didn't move, and it took a long while before he snorted: "En."

Chen Hen tentatively asked him: "The emperor is upset recently?"

After another long while, Li Yan responded: "En."

"Why is that upset? Is it an upward thing?"

Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him: "Li Ting."

Originally, he wanted to spy on Sacred Heart while he was drunk to see what was wrong with him, but in the end Chen Hen was taken aback by him.

Li Yan rested his head on his lap and sighed: "My head still hurts, I need to rub it with Liting."
