Bronze Sparrow Spring Deep

On June [-]th of the sixth year of Tianyuan, the eldest son of the emperor was born, and the emperor gave him the name Qi, amnesty for the world, exempted from tax for one year, and celebrated together.

After the prince was born, Shen Yanzhi once met the empress in the imperial garden. If the empress hadn't specially sent someone to deliver a message, Shen Yanzhi would not have gone to the imperial garden. It was probably some words of thanks.

Behind the queen stood the nurse, holding the little prince in her arms, wrapped in a bright yellow swaddle, showing a small round head.

Shen Yanzhi got the queen's permission to go up to see the little prince. Shen Yan smiled when he saw it. His eyes and nose were very similar to Shuyi's. I don't know what Shuyi looked like when he was a child. He probably was hugged like this In my arms, I regard it as a treasure.The child was soft, with smooth and tender skin, staring straight at Shen Yanzhi with a pair of big eyes, and giggled.

The queen couldn't help laughing, "It seems that Qi Er likes you very much."

"Don't dare..." Shen Yan took a few steps back and said calmly, "The empress is happy with the prince, and finally got her wish."

The queen asked the nurse to rest with the little prince in her arms, with a smile in her eyes, "Qi'er is the emperor's eldest son. The emperor loves Qi'er very much. He often comes to visit, and even the palace is lively. I am a benefactor. I wanted to admire some things, but I think you won't be too rare." At this point, the queen suddenly said to Jinyu who was beside her, "The flowers are blooming well, you can take someone to pick some flowers, and go back to the palace to make a sachet is also good”

Jinyu responded, and left with a group of servants carrying baskets, the rest of the palace servants were just standing in the distance, they could see Shen Yanzhi's expression, but couldn't hear their words.

The queen whispered, "This child has been taught by the emperor and supported by my mother's family. If he comes to Hitachi as the crown prince and ascends to the throne, this palace will be worthy of Daliang."

"I just did what I should do, the queen doesn't have to—"

"Bengong knows what you think and want." The queen suddenly interrupted Shen Yanzhi, making Shen Yanzhi stunned, "Bengong is just a suitable person in your eyes. I am the queen because it is suitable, but you are also because of it." Only when you are suitable can you stay with the king for a long time, so we are no different. On the contrary, there is the eldest son of the emperor in this palace, and the mother is expensive enough to gain a foothold in the palace, but you have nothing. On that day, you will die, and even the impeachment of the minister last year, you can't do anything"

The empress spoke every word to the point, as if she had peeled off Shen Yanzhi's already scarred wound layer by layer, and then made up a new one.

The queen smiled slightly, "The rabbit is dead, the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden. This kind of trick is not understood by me, but I don't want to use it. I promise you that if you are still alive on the day the prince ascends the throne, I will allow you to leave the palace." , set you free"

Shen Yanzhi was almost untenable, he even felt that he had heard wrong, leaving the palace?set him free?Did such a solemn promise really come from the mouth of the mother of a nation?Even Shuyi didn't give him an ending, or both Shuyi and him thought he was going to die, before Shuyi died one day, before the new emperor came to the throne, he would die.

He never thought about what would happen to him if Shu Yi left first, or maybe he planned it long ago and followed Shu Yi.

Freedom... What kind of life can he live by himself?

Shen Yanzhi knelt on the ground with a thud, kowtowed his head deeply, his voice was as cold as ice, trembling, and helpless, "I know that the Queen's kindness, I know that I have no blessing to accept it, I don't want to live forever, but I hope the Queen A grace, if the minister has good or bad, the palace people around him have been doing their best and serving thoughtfully, I don't want them to end up in a miserable end."

After hearing this, the queen sighed, and said slowly, "Okay, I promise you."

"My lord...thank you for your grace"

Shen Yanzhi stood up precariously, backed away slowly, and returned to Wende Palace in a sedan chair, his mind was full of the queen's last smile that seemed to hide a deep meaning and the sentence "You are a rare pure person in the palace, it is rare, Rare", pure...it's just stubbornness, don't hit the south wall and don't look back, laugh at the infatuation, and leave the delusion for others to read.

But fortunately, even if he fell down one day, he still protected the people around him, otherwise, how could he let him go with peace of mind.

On October [-]th, Jiuhui Mountain was hunting. The emperor's relatives, dignitaries and dignitaries gathered, and the inside and outside were heavily guarded, so that not a single fly could fly in or out.

The eldest son of the emperor was still young, and it was the time when he could not do without his mother. Therefore, the queen did not accompany him on this hunting trip. Concubine Xue and Concubine Chen, who had just been canonized, came instead. The last hunting was two years ago. At that time, the emperor only waited for the empress and concubine Xue to accompany him. Shen Yanzhi couldn't figure out what concubine Chen was here for. He didn't know until he got on the horse accompanying him that this concubine Chen was the daughter of a general. , proficient in riding and archery.

In fact, Shen Yanzhi is not good at riding horses, but Shu Yi loves riding and shooting the most. In order to drive along while hunting, he had to learn how to ride for a while. Even though his back hurts from the fall and his whole body is bruised, he only learned how to ride. That's all, letting him gallop with the reins in hand or draw a bow while sitting on horseback is something that will kill him.

He followed among the crowd, passed through layers of crowds, and could only see a blurred figure of Shu Yi, but Ning Qingru was not far in front of him, but after what happened years ago, he seemed to be more silent I have spoken, but it is only for outsiders. I heard that when Shuyi is alone, he always greets him with a smile.

On the contrary, the last time Shen Yan saw Shuyi was already two months ago, and every time he was perfunctory, he was busy with government affairs, but it was not uncommon to see him go to Yunqi Palace, and as time passed, Shen Yanzhi no longer took the initiative to go there Xuanshi Palace.

Although the rewards from Wende Palace are not lacking at all, they are indeed much colder than before. Shen Yanzhi also guessed the reason, but Ning Qingru was finally moved by Shuyi's patience and warmth, so she went uncharacteristically. Yi Xide's lover, how could he still remember him.

"Look at your crooked appearance, you should look like a man when you sit on a horse! Come on! Straighten your back!"

Accompanied by these words, Shen Yanzhi's back was suddenly hit hard, and Shen Yanzhi, who had been drowsy, woke up suddenly, turned his head abruptly, and then frowned tightly, "Xu Huai?"

"Walking in the mountains, you should enjoy the scenery along the way. Why are you so lifeless!" Xu Huai said without hesitation, and patted Shen Yanzhi on the shoulder several times during the process. Shen Yanzhi hurriedly pushed him, looked around, Cursing in a low voice, "Master Xu, there are so many people talking, I'm afraid it's wrong for you to do this."

After listening, Xu Huai laughed a few times, and whispered to Shen Yanzhi, "No one here knows who you are, so what are you afraid of? You are now the young son of my cousin of the Xu family. You and I will not be suspected if we get closer. "

"what?"

This really surprised Shen Yanzhi, their identities as escorts were not in compliance with the rules, and they often forced their identities as sons of aristocratic families, and the courtiers didn't even see them, so they fooled them, but...

Shen Yanzhi had a sad expression on his face, but Xu Huai couldn't stop laughing. Shen Yanzhi was annoyed, and angrily shouted, "Stop laughing!", which startled the guards next to him.

Only then did Xu Huai say seriously, "If it wasn't for that, what would I do as a lecturer from the Imperial Academy to hunt along with me?" He lowered his voice again, "The emperor was afraid that the identity of the son of the family would be suspicious, so he came up with such a plan , Knowing that I had a relationship with the young master, I entrusted this matter to the minister, the minister has a heavy responsibility and a long way to go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Shen Yanzhi's waist again, "Straighten your waist! Raise your head! Sitting upright on the horse's back shows your true nature!"

Shen Yanzhi was in pain, and originally wanted to scold him, but seeing that Xu Huai was not comfortable sitting on the horse's back, he frowned and forcibly suppressed that look of enjoyment, he was also amused, and shook his head helplessly, momentarily I also felt that it was not so boring, and gradually let go of my panic, and returned to my true colors, and smiled at Xu Huai,

"My lord Xu is at ease, but the emperor's eyeliner is indispensable around here. If I know that my lord is so close to me, I don't know how I will feel..."

Now Xu Huai's smile froze.

"Your Majesty trusts Master Xu to entrust this matter to you. It's nothing more than a superficial display, but Your Excellency just made a move... I'm not afraid, but I don't know how to explain to you when Your Excellency is with the Emperor."

Xu Huai couldn't laugh anymore.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just a pat on the back and a touch on the shoulder. It should be like this between cousins. I think the emperor won't mind..."

Xu Huai was sweating coldly, swallowed, choked again accidentally, coughed a few times, very embarrassed, finally stopped, gripped the reins tightly, wrinkled his face and said bitterly, "Minister... Excuse me...!"

Looking at the back of Xu Huai fleeing in despair, Shen Yanzhi burst out laughing again.

When they arrived at the Jiuhui Mountain Hunting Ground, all the princes and generals were gearing up for the first place in this competition, but Yi had already ordered that the one who hunted the most prey before sunset would be rewarded heavily.With a thundering gong, dozens of people headed by Shu Yi rushed out like arrows flying off the string, and disappeared into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.

Shen Yanzhi didn't have the skills to compete with them, but Ning Qingru was also in the crowd, after all, he was once a son of the royal family, with both civil and military skills.

Shen Yanzhi was bored here, so he wanted to ride a horse for a stroll in the depths. As soon as one foot was put on the stirrup, he saw a little eunuch running towards him in a hurry, bowed deeply, and said, "My lord , the servant is on duty in the Xuanshi Palace." Then he approached Shen Yanzhi and said in a low voice, "The emperor entrusted you with a word, the dense forest is dangerous, if you are bored, you can go to the southwest, the scenery is very beautiful, and you don't want to go deep gone"

Shen Yanzhi smiled and said, "I see, let's go down."

The eunuch retreated, Shen Yanzhi got on his horse, just turned his horse's head and wanted to go to the southwest, before he took two steps, he saw a man and a horse sticking up, Shen Yanzhi knew who it was without having to look and guess, and said impatiently, "Master Xu , when are you going to follow me?"

Xu Huai laughed twice, "Young Master is going to the dense forest alone, I have to take care of him closely, if something happens to Young Master, the first one the emperor will ask is the minister!"

Shen Yanzhi gave him a blank look, ignored him and rode forward on his own, Xu Huai followed closely behind him, never leaving a single step.Walking far away, the forest is green, the branches and leaves are lush, and the sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves. Very.

"you……"

"you……"

The two spoke at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled. There was silence in the forest, and the air was filled with the smell of soil, which was different from the tranquility and safety in the palace.The light and shadows were mottled, although it was only a few days, Shen Yanzhi still felt the breath of freedom, he even thought that maybe one day he could leave the palace, and he could keep a quiet life instead of abandoning himself.

Shen Yanzhi said first, "Why did you say you wanted to take me out of the palace that day?"
