General's Gown

"How dare you!"

In the Hall of Wende, the eunuch Liu Quan knelt on the ground and carefully picked up the memorial that was thrown to the ground by the emperor Murong Xiu, without even daring to raise his eyebrows:

"Your Majesty calm down, don't let your anger break your body."

He had served the emperor for five or six years, and he hadn't seen the emperor lose such a temper for a long time.

What's the matter today?

Liu Quan kept an eye on it, and when he was tidying up, he quietly glanced at the memorial, and secretly called Buddha in his heart.

Murong Xiu sat on the dragon chair with a gloomy expression, holding the vermilion pen in his knuckle hand, the joints were a little white due to the force, and after a long time, he wrote a few words heavily.

After finishing writing, Murong Xiu's complexion became even worse.

Liu Quan was feeling anxious when there was a knock on the door: "Your Majesty, General Yan is here."

Murong Xiu's expression changed, and he gave Liu Quan a meaningful look.The old eunuch was lowering his eyebrows and looking pleasing to the eye, with an honest look that had nothing to do with him.

Yan Changqing stepped into the hall, shouted long live, knelt down and saluted.

Before he got up, Yan Changqing felt a blur in front of his eyes, and was hugged heavily.Yan Changqing patted the man on the back lightly:

"Your Majesty, it's unreasonable."

"It's just the two of us, whoever can't stand it will be pulled out and beheaded."

Yan Changqing raised his eyes.I haven't seen him for more than two years, and the young emperor in front of me seems to have matured and aged a bit.The childishness on his face has completely receded, and he has gradually turned into a steady and silent emperor, with the aura of a king looking down on everything in the corners of his eyes and brows.He couldn't remember more and more what the "little brother" who chased after him all day long was like.

The court ladies and eunuchs on the side had already served a fine wine feast: old ginseng wine, turtle and snake tonic soup, bletilla striata pig lung soup, angelica black-bone chicken stew, pig blood and sea cucumber.

It's all great supplements.

Yan Changqing: ...

"Your Majesty, the minister was not injured during this expedition."

"If you don't get hurt, you have to make up for it!" Murong Xiu couldn't help but pick up a piece of pig's blood with his own hands, stuffed it into Yan Changqing's bowl, and complained: "Damn barbarian, you dare to behave wildly in the hall."

If it wasn't for the quenching snow stone, he would have thrown that ignorant and openly provocative Prince Dongyun into death row——

As soon as Yan Changqing raised his head, he suddenly felt that for a moment just now, a ruthless and decisive look flashed in the eyes of Murong Xiu, who was always gentle and intelligent in his memory.

It must be looking at the flowers.

Suddenly thought of something, Yan Changqing put down the bowl and chopsticks, with a serious expression: "This time, Dongyun is willing to increase the weight of the snow quenching stone, which is the first time in history. I am willing to bear with them Dongyun, and the emperor must also be patient."

Murong Xiu was slightly taken aback: "Brother Changqing, you already know?"

Yan Changqing glanced sideways at the desk behind the screen with the pearls held by Qinglong.The little eunuchs had just arranged neatly the memorials that had been messed up by Murong Xiu.In fact, before he even left the hall, he already knew that the lawless second prince of Dongyun, Helian Rongchuan, named him by name and asked him to be the special envoy for this snow quenching stone transaction.

It seems that this prince still remembers the one-shot revenge outside the Beirong Camp, so it must be difficult for him to be an envoy.

However, for the sake of the country of Yan, he would not hesitate to be ashamed, not to mention Prince Dongyun's little trouble.

Yan Changqing smiled disdainfully, the cloud was calm and the wind was light.But he didn't know that he was handsome and his confident smile was even more charming, Murong Xiu felt a little dazed for a moment.But there was another knock on the door, which was unsightly.

It turned out to be the little eunuch in the bedroom, holding the flower name tags of the concubines, waiting for the emperor to choose someone to serve him.

Murong Xiu pushed the name tag: I'm not going anywhere tonight, I'm going to clean up my bedroom—" He turned his head to look at Yan Changqing with a smile: "Brother, anyway, your general's mansion is so empty that you have neither a wife nor a wife. Concubine, why don't you stay with me tonight and talk about the military affairs.Just like when I was a child. "

Just like when I was a child.

Yan Changqing suddenly thought of more than ten years ago.At that time, he was still the age of the head of the army, his father died in battle, and his mother followed his father. The first emperor took pity on him when he was young and lost his husband, so he brought him into the harem and gave him to Concubine Xian to be raised.Concubine Xian already has a son under her knees, Murong Xiu, Murong Xiu is only less than half a year younger than him, similar in age, like-minded, and as close as a brother.Now Baiyuncanggou, Murongxiu has also changed from a milk baby of "Brother Changqing" to an emperor above ten thousand people. "

Yan Changqing sighed in his heart, feeling a sense of nostalgia spontaneously.It's just that it's against etiquette for an adult general to stay overnight in the palace, Yan Changqing resolutely refused, and Murong Xiu had no choice but to agree.

Just after leaving the imperial study room, Yan Changqing felt dizzy as he walked, and the bright red palace lanterns cast double images in front of his eyes.It seems that tonight's drink was too strong, and he was never good at drinking, so Murong Xiu managed to drink a few cups, and he became overwhelmed.Persisting and continuing to walk not far, he finally tilted his body and stumbled into someone's arms.

The man had the unique scent of heavy water in the imperial study room, Yan Changqing only said that he was the little eunuch who came out to see him off, said in a daze: "Take me home", and fell into a drowsy sleep.

The night is deep.

The apse of the imperial study room is filled with a faint scent of agarwood.Yan Changqing has been stationed at the border all year round, and he is very alert even in sleep, and no sound can escape his ears.However, this night, he slept extremely deeply, so deep that he could not notice the movement around him.

Murong Xiu stood quietly by the bed, his eyes no longer pretended to be as clear as when he faced Yan Changqing during the day, but became a little complicated.

The tree shadows floated outside the window, projecting on Yan Changqing's defenseless sleeping face.His profile is very handsome, with a tall and straight nose bridge, long eye tails, and a graceful jaw and neck.

Further down, there is a snow-white, meticulous collar of obscene clothes.Covers the delicate collarbone and chest.

Murong Xiu felt a small flame suddenly burning deep in his body.

Throat a little thirsty.

Murong Xiu was too familiar with this feeling, in countless nights when he thought of Yan Changqing, there were three thousand beauties in the harem, but no beauties could dispel his feeling.He knew very well that this desire for Yan Changqing, the more he suppressed it, the more it burned.And it was two years since we saw each other. Tonight, his feeling has become a prairie fire.

He has already dismissed all the servants and ladies in the palace,

In Yan Changqing's meal tonight, Murong Xiu secretly added a sufficient amount of tranquilizing medicine that had been prepared.This kind of medicine is most beneficial for people who have been fighting all the year round and are mentally tense.However, it can also cause people to fall into a sleep that is almost unconscious.

So tonight, no matter what he does, no one will know.

Except for Yan Changqing who wakes up tomorrow.

In those crystal clear black eyes, he, Murong Xiu, is an emperor, and also his friend, or younger brother.

Other than that, nothing else.

Murong Xiu's trembling fingers gently caressed Yan Changqing's long eyelashes and thin lips, then moved down, wandered a bit, but stopped.

With a sigh, Murong Xiu turned around and walked out of the bedroom.

It was snowing in the winter night, and in the palace garden, the branches were covered with snow, and when the wind blew, they fell down in a rustle, just like the crabapple trees planted together by two teenagers outside the palace of Concubine Xian.

------------------

It was a very sweet sleep, but Yan Changqing still woke up automatically when Maoshi arrived on time.But when he opened his eyes, he was taken aback.Why did he return to the imperial study room again!

However, the surrounding palace people didn't know what to ask.A soft sedan chair had already been parked outside the imperial study room to send him out of the palace.The court lady respectfully presented a famous card.Yan Changqing opened it and took a look. It turned out that the second prince Dongyun was coming to discuss the business of Quen Xueshi.

There is a business for Dongyun, why is this Dongyun person more anxious than Yan Guo?

Continuing to look down, Yan Changqing frowned with his long sword eyebrows.

The meeting place on the name card was written in three big characters.

Spring Pavilion.

What kind of hall is this?

Yan Changqing has been stationed at the border all year round. Even when he returns to Beijing, he is still busy with official duties and is not familiar with the streets and alleys of the capital.He only occasionally heard of merchants' guild halls and local guild halls, but he had never heard of Spring Breeze Hall.Asking the accompanying personal guards, they also scrambled to be the first to wave their hands and shake their heads.

After leaving the palace, Yan Changqing had no choice but to go up to ask directions when he saw someone who looked like a native of the capital.However, whether it is a kind-hearted elder or a woman with a baby in her arms, when he utters the word "Chunfengguan", their faces change, instead of shaking their heads and sighing, blowing their beards and staring angrily, and knocking on the walking stick. Then he covered his mouth and laughed teasingly: "Oh~~ Such a beautiful little brother is also a pervert!"

After asking around, I was at a loss.Yan Changqing turned around and saw several bodyguards blushing, hesitating to speak, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and said, "Tell me, where are you?"

Suddenly a gust of cool wind swept past behind him, and several guards couldn't help shivering.

The Spring Breeze Pavilion is not difficult to find. It is opened at a corner of the most prosperous street in Sheng'an City. It is a tall three-story pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings with red windows and red pillars.There is a pair of couplets pasted on both sides of the Zhumen. The upper couplet reads "Three points of the world are bright moonlit nights", the second couplet reads "The Spring Breeze in the Ten Miles of the Capital City", and the horizontal comment reads "Let's not miss Shu".A row of girls with heavy make-up outside the gate greeted the guests with a smile. When they saw a few young men suddenly approaching the door, especially the one in the middle, who was as handsome as walking down from a painting, they scrambled over each other and surrounded them shyly. .The old bustard even greeted the guards familiarly: "Hey, these military masters are here again, this time the same girl as last time? Or change to someone else?"

Yan Changqing took a step back and looked up at the signboard with gold letters on a red background.

That's right, it is indeed the three characters of Chunfengguan.

Unexpectedly, Chunfeng Pavilion turned out to be a brothel.

Looking back, he glanced at the bodyguards, and saw that they were desperately winking at the bustard to no avail, they were surrounded by Yingyingyanyan, all of them were crying and wanted to die.
