The Cui family has been loyal and good for generations, and Cui Hong has been indoctrinated with the idea of ​​"loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" since he was ignorant of the memory.

Until he was 17 years old, his father told him to let him assist the Third Highness Pei Qi.

This is contrary to his way of being loyal to the emperor. Cui Hong refused without saying a word. He said firmly: "Father taught the children since childhood that eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor. Today, the Holy One wants His Royal Highness to inherit the Datong and assist the three princes." Could it be that His Highness has violated the Sacred Heart, and the child will be hard to obey."

His father, Cui Min, Minister of the Ministry of War, led him to the yard without saying a word, pointed to a verdant old pine tree, "This tree is here today."

After that, he pointed to a bird with bright feathers jumping between the branches, "This bird is the prince."

What he meant was very obvious. The current Holy Majesty looks healthy, but he is actually very old, and the prince looks glamorous with his power, but in fact he is just a show.

Cui Hong frowned and said, "So if you dare to ask father, what should the Third Highness do?"

Cui Min stroked his beard, pointed at the sky with a smile, "If you don't sing, you're already a blockbuster, and if you don't fly, you're already soaring into the sky. You are the real dragon emperor!"

Cui Hong was shocked. He looked around and he was relieved to be sure that no one else was present. He asked in a low voice, "What is the basis for what father said?"

Cui Min said: "The last time I went to the border for the supervising army with the army, I was fortunate to see the heroic appearance of His Highness the Third Highness on the battlefield, but in the past two decades, even the rebirth of the old God of War may not be able to match him, just wait and see, come on!" The day will become the climate!"

Cui Hong knew that his father had the most vicious eyes on people. To have such a high evaluation, the Third Highness would not be an ordinary person. As for whether he is the so-called [True Dragon Son of Heaven], he still needs to confirm it himself.

When he really saw the legendary youngest Marshal of the Great Xia Dynasty, he was really shocked. It didn't take long, and he found that he was far more handsome than he imagined, wise and decisive, and knowledgable. , It is a great fortune to be able to follow him.

It is not surprising that a character like him is indifferent and harsh to others, and he has gradually become accustomed to following such a master.

Then one day, the always cold-hearted master asked him to tidy up a courtyard from the side hall, and specifically explained, "All the utensils must be the best, and they must be comfortable for people to live in."

At that time, the master did not have the Sacred Heart. As the only adult prince without a title, he was ridiculed in every possible way in Beijing. Naturally, there were not so many precious items in the mansion. The only ones that could be sold were the two rare night pearls. , was rewarded by the master for his military exploits, in order to stabilize the morale of the army.

Under such circumstances, the master's intentions were clearly revealed, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there going to be a mistress in the mansion?"

As soon as he finished asking, he regretted it. The master doesn't like his subordinates to be talkative. His words just now were a bit presumptuous, and he was about to apologize, but he saw that the usually expressionless master suddenly softened his face, and even slightly curled the corners of his lips.

"It's not the hostess, it's the host."

Cui Hong's body was slightly stiff, and he doubted whether he heard it wrong, but the master had already left, so he struggled for a while, and finally arranged the side hall according to the specifications of a man, and put almost all the rare treasures in the warehouse. up.He comforted himself, as long as the master likes it, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, it's better than him dying alone.

Later, the master brought back a young master, handsome and elegant, his appearance was not high-quality, but he could be seen to have a free and easy temperament, which matched the master's serious silence.

It's just that this son and master seem to be very estranged, could it be that the master has an unrequited love?Cui Hong deeply felt that he had discovered the truth, and looked at his master with sympathy for a moment.

I just heard the young master say: "Your Highness can just call Xiao Yuan."

It turned out to be Xiao Yuan, Cui Hong secretly remembered it in his heart, but he heard his master reply: "Okay, did Cui Hong hear that, help Xiao Yuan arrange a place to live."

Cui Hong responded immediately: "This subordinate obeys orders."

In fact, he shouted in his heart: Master, can you be more reserved, do you think you just called "Xiaoyuan" and no one noticed?Mr. Xiao was too embarrassed to speak!

Led Mr. Xiao to the side hall, saw his amazed eyes, lamented that the prince's mansion was so well treated, he didn't dare to do it for him, and only mentioned a few words, seeing that he was very puzzled, he could only sigh in his heart A few times, I took my leave and left.

Originally, he thought that according to his master's usual style, he would definitely take down Young Master Xiao swiftly and resolutely, but this was not the case.Although Young Master Xiao very much hopes to be reused by his master, the master often ignores him and enters the study without looking sideways. After closing the door, he peeps at Young Master Xiao through the screen window. Occasionally seeing Young Master Xiao very discouraged and angry, he can't help it laughed.

He asked inexplicably: "Since Master wants to see Young Master Xiao, why don't you keep him by your side so that you can see him from time to time."

The master was rarely in a good mood, so he solved his doubts and only heard him say with a smile: "Too impatient will scare people away."

Cui Hong understood that Mr. Xiao is a normal man, so it must be difficult for him to accept his master's love. In order not to scare him, the master can only endure it by himself. This feeling is too deep and distressing.It's just that since he chose this path, with his master's temperament, he would never give up, so he could only silently send his blessings.

Later, because His Royal Highness framed the master, the master, who has always been indifferent to emotions, became angry for the first time in the study. He knew that Mr. Xiao was tending flowers and plants outside. Cui Hong thought, the master hopes to get Mr. Xiao's attention, otherwise Why are these little things here?

Later, as expected, Mr. Xiao couldn't help but offered a plan, and the master also regained the favor.But when he returned to the mansion, the master still looked very unhappy, even to the point of drinking to relieve his worries, and the location was chosen in the gazebo outside Young Master Xiao's courtyard.

Cui Honghou was in the dark, thinking that when the master was drunk, he would go and invite Mr. Xiao, and the master would definitely reward him.

But he didn't expect that he didn't get this opportunity to make meritorious service, because Mr. Xiao happened to come out of his yard and bumped into his master, and the two went to drink at the gazebo together.While Cui Hong regretted, he was happy for his master.

After that day, the master was satisfied, and Young Master Xiao was also satisfied, because he finally got the master's reuse.Presumably even he himself didn't know that his promotions were all carried out under the master's premeditation, and it would not make people feel deliberate, and Mr. Xiao has begun to get used to his master's closeness from time to time.

Cui Hongda began to admire his master from the bottom of his heart, and applied the master's method, and successfully married his favorite

Girls.

Later, with the acquiescence of the master, the gossip and rumors between Young Master Xiao and the master began to spread in the mansion, and gradually spread out of the mansion, and many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing also raised the trend of raising children.At the same time, many touching stories of men falling in love circulated in the market, and some people gradually began to accept this kind of non-mainstream love, especially women.

Cui Hong knew that this was the master's preparation for the future.A person like him will not hide the person he loves, what he wants is to stand at the highest point with that person, upright and upright.

Mr. Xiao naturally didn't know all this, the rumors in the mansion were enough to give him a headache, how dare the master let him know the messy rumors spreading outside, I'm afraid he would die of anger on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xiao's younger sister, Xiao Moli, would accuse Mr. Xiao harshly in public because of this. The master's eyes began to reveal a dangerous message. Cui Hong stood in the corner and squeezed his palms. He was very worried about the master. Unable to hold back, Hui slapped that girl Xiao with his palm.

I saw Mr. Xiao suddenly stood up staggeringly, a word made the master's complexion better, and he said in a straight voice: "A good bird chooses a tree to live in, why should I take refuge in the Ming Lord?"

The scene was in an uproar for a while, Miss Xiao angrily lifted the table directly.

Cui Hong swallowed hard, the master finally managed to keep the clouds open and see the moon, the painstaking efforts of these days were not in vain... After seeing the bewildered eyes of Young Master Xiao, he felt a thump in his heart, it turned out that he was drunk.

However, it is worth pondering whether it is nonsense after drinking or uttering the truth.

The story of the crown prince's birthday banquet that day was widely circulated, Mr. Xiao was called back to the mansion by An Lehou, thinking that the old guy was in a hurry.

Xiao Mingge can be regarded as someone who sent his own son to the enemy camp as a spy.But it's no wonder that Young Master Xiao's mother was a killer sent by others, and she approached him only to kill him, but later when it was revealed that she took poison and committed suicide, he couldn't vent his anger, so he passed all his hatred on to his youngest son.

I don't know how Young Master Xiao comforted him, but he came back unscathed.The son of the old fox is indeed a little fox.

Two years passed by in a hurry, and the unrestrained young man in the past has gradually become mature, stable, polite, and his appearance has become more and more outstanding.In the past two years, the master has been forbearing and restrained. Although he would occasionally take the opportunity to get close, he never broke through.

But Mr. Xiao is not a dull person, he should have discovered the clue long ago, but he has been holding back, perhaps because he doesn't know how to face it, so he simply pretends that he doesn't know.

Cui Hong thought that they would maintain that relationship for a long time, but he didn't expect that there would be a turning point because of the prince.

That day, Xiao Yuan wore a black fox-fur cloak and ran wildly in the snow to avoid being chased and killed. He was out of breath and said: "The cloak on Xiao is a gift from the master, and it was killed by the enemy today." , and absolutely cannot be discarded!"

At that moment, Cui Hong knew that he actually had feelings for his master, perhaps because this love was too deep, he could only hide it in his heart, and because he cared too much, he couldn't express it.

Later, Young Master Xiao was carried back to the mansion by his master from outside. Although he didn't know what happened, judging from Young Master Xiao's embarrassing expression, he must have suffered unbearable torture.After that incident, the master finally stopped holding back, he began to pursue Mr. Xiao clearly, but Mr. Xiao shrank himself into a shell, unwilling to even look at him again.

That day in the Plum Blossom Forest, the song "Fishing Boat Sings Evening" that Young Master Xiao changed was extremely sad. How much pain did he hide in his heart to perform such a song?

Never before had he hated Pei Yu so much!He must have done something to Mr. Xiao to turn things into what they are today!Pei Yu, he really deserves to die!

After the death of His Majesty, the master will take over the throne as a matter of course, and Pei Yu's useless fish was solved with almost no effort.

He accompanied Young Master Xiao into the prison to "visit" Pei Yu, no matter what punishment was used for this person, it would be light.Seeing the young man who was slowly drinking tea on the opposite side gradually show a happy expression, he also felt happy. As long as he can untie his knot, Pei Yu's death will not be a pity.

It's a pity that he underestimated the vitality of the cockroach so much that he was rescued. If the group of rebels had gone far away, they rebelled with great fanfare and made the whole country know it.Sure enough, the first person who couldn't hold back was Young Master Xiao.

Young Master Xiao will naturally not let Pei Yu go, that disgusting person once hurt him, and until now his knot has not been untied.He has volunteered many times in the court to lead the army, but the master would never agree, and always rejected his appeal.Later, Young Master Xiao entered the imperial study and talked with the master for nearly two hours.

No one knew what they talked about that day, but Young Master Xiao packed his bags and went to the battlefield the next day, and the master allowed him this time.

A few days before the bad news came, the master was not in a good mood, and even planned to go to the battlefield, but later received a letter from the front line, and slowly gave up the idea.

Cui Hong knew that it was written by Mr. Xiao himself, but with such a casual wave, there are exquisitely crafted characters everywhere, which no one else can write except him.

A few days later in the early morning, the front line urgently sent the bad news, the master listened quietly, sitting on the dragon chair without moving for a long time, like a frozen statue.

When he finally came back to his senses, he only said lightly: "He lied to me."

At that time, he didn't understand the meaning of his words, until a few years later, when he was helping the master organize the table, he found the original letter.The familiar font made him stunned for a long time, and he opened the letter as if by accident.

"Your Majesty, I have read all of that "Xiaoyaoyouji", and I personally think that Yangzhou and Qizhou are the most beautiful. When I return from victory, I want to go to Yangzhou first and then go to Qizhou. I would like to let go of ordinary things and accompany my minister for a while."

He said he wanted to go to Yangzhou first and then Qizhou, but unfortunately he never came back.

And the master who read the letter word by word with a smile at that time will never come back. Now, he is just a body without a soul.He became a real emperor, heartless and ruthless, but he also lost his love forever, and he would never smile again.

——Yangzhou, Qizhou, let Cui go for you.
