I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

When the hall quieted down, everyone waited for Emperor Qingping to speak.

According to the rules of previous years, Emperor Qingping would ask the winning prince what reward he wanted, and give a few compliments by the way.

But this year is different, the crown prince is Xue Yan.

For a moment, all the people present couldn't help looking in the direction of Emperor Qingping, waiting to see what he would say.

But Emperor Qingping didn't speak for a long time.He stood there in a daze for a long time, staring straight at Xue Yan.

Naturally, no one dared to urge him.

Everyone didn't expect him to have such a reaction, and they all looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak.

But the people who were paying attention to Emperor Qingping didn't notice that Yi Jieyu, who was sitting among the concubines, showed a rare expression of nervousness, tightened her palms, and her nails were deeply embedded in the flesh.

After a while, Emperor Qingping spoke.

"Xue Yan, you stay after the banquet." He said.

After finishing speaking, he didn't say anything, and ignored the people who were looking at each other, he just raised his hand to signal Si Zhu to continue, and let the people continue the banquet.

And the silk handkerchief in Yi Jieyu's hand fell to the ground following Emperor Qingping's understated order.

The peach branch next to him hurried forward to pick it up.

But the fine embroidered silk handkerchief was crumpled at some point.

-

Only Emperor Qingping knew what he was thinking.

Ever since Xue Yan was born, he hadn't taken a good look at him.When he was a baby, he was sent to Yan County by soldiers on a fast horse. When he returned to Chang'an when he was about 15 years old, he feared that he was a evil star who came to the world. Every time he saw his face, he was swept away in a hurry.

He had never looked closely at Xue Yan's appearance, so today he suddenly realized how much Xue Yan looked like Concubine Rong.

Aside from the pair of amber pupils, there are traces of Concubine Rong on the corners of her brows and eyes.It's just that Xue Yan's eyebrows were sharper, and his eyes were not as innocent as Concubine Rong's, but much colder.

At this moment, he was sitting in the high hall, looking down at Xue Yan from top to bottom.With the strength of the wine, he was in a daze for a moment, as if he had returned to more than ten years ago, he was also sitting in the hall like this, seeing Concubine Rong for the first time and watching her dance for him.

This was the first time that Emperor Qingping clearly realized that this was his and Concubine Rong's child, and this child looked very much like Concubine Rong.

It was rare for him to be out of his wits for a long time, and he gave this order that everyone couldn't imagine.

Because of his abnormality, in the second half of the banquet, everyone was drunk and left in a hurry when the time came.

Emperor Qingping was helped to rest in the back hall, and as soon as he sat down, he asked Ling Fu to bring Xue Yan in.

Leng Fu hesitated.

"What's the matter?" Emperor Qingping held his forehead and asked coldly when he saw that he hadn't moved for a long time.

Ling Fu bowed over and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, what did you call him for?"

Emperor Qingping was drunk, and his temper grew a little bit.

"Why, I still need to ask your opinion when I do things?"

Ling Fu hurriedly said: "I don't dare! It's just that the lord of the Qin Tianjian said that day that the evil star has changed recently, and the slave is also worried about the emperor's dragon body..."

"Isn't there no change?" Emperor Qingping interrupted him suddenly.

Ling Fu quickly knelt down and kowtowed to plead guilty.

Emperor Qingping waved his hands impatiently: "Go out and bring Xue Yan here."

Ling Fu bowed and retreated, hiding all his emotions and calculations in his eyes.

Sure enough, Yi Jieyu missed, and even made Qin Tianjian lose credibility with His Majesty.

We must let her make some arrangements before the New Year's Eve to bring back the hexagram of Qin Tianjian.Lengfu thought about it.

Emperor Qingping sat on the chair with his head propped up, and he didn't wait long before he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the front hall.He raised his eyes, and saw Xue Yan silently following behind Ling Fu, walking in front of him and bowing silently.

"Get flat." Emperor Qingping raised his hand, pointed to the position of his lower head, and motioned for him to sit down.

Xue Yan took a seat there.

The maid stepped forward to pour the hangover tea, and Emperor Qingping took a sip, waiting for Xue Yan to speak first.But he sat there, silent for a long time, like a log.

If it was placed on a normal day, Emperor Qingping would definitely feel slighted and lose his temper.But today, he was drunk and was reminded of Concubine Rong. At this time, facing Xue Yan, who was born to Concubine Rong, he suddenly developed extraordinary patience.

"Your archery skills are very good." Emperor Qingping spoke first. "Yan Wang taught you very well."

Xue Yan said: "Father Huang praises you absurdly."

He sat there coldly, watching Emperor Qingping's drunken state.

Emperor Qingping drank too much wine at the moment, he was not at all defensive, and he did not hide it at all, showing his most sincere thoughts on his face.Xue Yan especially looked down on him for acting like this, even though he showed his true feelings there, Xue Yan watched coldly, as if he was watching a play.

In his opinion, Emperor Qingping's rare emotion was ridiculously cheap.But because he is an emperor, it still has some effect.

No, the eunuch next to him thought he was covering up so well, wasn't he still so nervous that his forehead was sweating?

Xue Yan raised the corners of his lips calmly.

A few days ago, the dead man reported back the information, saying that the medicine was obtained by the Xu family, and that the servants of the Xu family sent it in through the master's visit to Yi Jieyu when he was in and out of the palace.

Since they found the Xu family, they also found an interesting secret report and sent it to Xue Yan.

Ling Tailang of Qin Tianjian had some old friends with Yi Jieyu back then, when Yi Jieyu entered the palace, he chased the carriage all the way to the gate of the palace.Not long after that, this man became an official in the court and entered the Qin Tianjian.

Now it seems that not only Qin Tianjian, but also the eunuch who is next to the emperor is also a person who is close to Yi Jieyu.

Xue Yan glanced at Ling Fu indifferently, then withdrew his gaze, he had already followed the clues in his heart, and sorted out the relationship between them.

And Emperor Qingping on the seat is still there remembering.

"Yan Wang was still my second elder brother." He leaned slowly on the chair, with one hand resting on the armrest, and the bottom of his hand knocked repeatedly. "When he was young, he was skilled in martial arts and good at writing. Huang Kao liked him the most. It's just a pity, God is jealous of talents..."

Speaking of this, Emperor Qingping paused, and put away all the words that followed.

Xue Yan saw that there was a little sharpness in his sleepy and drunken eyes.But it was fleeting, he stopped talking, and the sharpness of that moment disappeared.

"It's your mother and concubine." Emperor Qingping looked at Xue Yan again, and continued. "In the days since you returned to the palace, you often go to her palace to pay homage to her tablet."

Xue Yan said: "My son obeys the order."

Emperor Qingping looked at him, and after a while, he sighed rarely.

It's all about life.He was drunk, inevitably emotional, leaning on a chair and thinking.If it weren't for this child's fate, how could he be separated from his father and son?Now that I'm not close to myself at all, I think it's a bit pitiful.

His attitude made Ling Fu next to him feel like an enemy, but Xue Yan sneered in his heart.

People who drink too much alcohol are most likely to be manipulated by emotions, and their daily calculations will be paralyzed by drunkenness.At the moment, he looks sincere, but he uses his drunkenness to move himself, and when he sobers up tomorrow, he won't be able to count.

If you really believe his attitude, you are really sick.

Xue Yan sat there bored, just waiting for Emperor Qingping to quickly finish sending those useless emotions so that he could be put back.

After a long time, Emperor Qingping finally felt tired.He raised his hand, and Ling Fu understood, stepped forward and helped him up.

"I haven't asked you yet, what reward do you want for winning the first prize today?" Emperor Qingping asked.

Xue Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and thought to himself, it is still somewhat useful to practice kung fu here for a long time today.

Emperor Qing Ping continued there self-consciously: "You can boldly say what you lack in the palace, or what kind of favor you want from me. It is rare for me to test you once. No matter how precious things are, you are worthy of them." of."

Most of his words were aroused by his nostalgia for Concubine Rong, so it was inevitable that they were a bit of a boast, but when he looked at Xue Yan, his eyes were rare and sincere.

This child is pitiful, and it is right for me to share some of the emperor's favor and give him some rewards.Presumably this child will know his difficulties, and he will be grateful to Dade.

Xue Yan bowed to him uprightly, and without thinking about it, he opened his mouth calmly.

"I don't want anything, I just want to ask my father for a lamp."

He dismissed Emperor Qingping's charity at all, and he didn't bother to ask for it.What he wants, he will take it himself, no one needs to give it, and no one can stop him.

What he wanted was nothing more than an ordinary lamp, but someone particularly liked it.

-

Jun Huailang returned to Mingluan Palace ahead of schedule at night, thinking that Emperor Qingping deliberately kept Xue Yan, he always felt a little uneasy.

He saw Emperor Ping's expression, he didn't seem to be angry, instead he was kind and kind, it must be no big deal.

However, he was more worried about Xue Yan.

Xue Yan was different from others.He is reticent, doesn't know any tact and sophistication, and carries a terrifying fate on his back.Originally, Emperor Qingping feared that he was an evil star, even if he was kinder today, there was no guarantee that he would not be angered by Xue Yan again and cause him trouble.

After Jun Huailang returned to the east side hall, he wanted to wait for Xue Yan to come back to ask about the situation.

But he did not return for a long time, Jun Huailang drank some wine today, gradually became drunk, and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes again, it was the early morning of the next day.

When he got up, he saw that the surroundings were peaceful and quiet, the sun was shining brightly outside the window, and he could still hear the call of the thrush in the corridor.

"When did His Highness the Fifth come back last night?" He asked when Fuyi was cleaning his face.

Fu Yi said: "I don't know, I think His Highness Fifth Highness came back a bit late."

Jun Huailang frowned, got up after washing his face, asked Fu Yi to wait for him to put on his robes, and went to the West Side Hall first.

"Young Master, why don't you go after eating?" Fuyi persuaded him while changing his clothes. "Although the Fifth Highness said that he came back late, there was no movement last night, and there has always been nothing serious."

Jun Huailang shook his head, "Let's take a look."

He knew about Xue Yan.If you put it on someone else, you really don't have to worry about it, but it's different if it's Xue Yan.

No matter what happened to him, when did he speak?Even if he was spanked by Emperor Qingping last night, he would remain silent when he came back at night.

Thinking of this, Jun Huailang felt more and more uncertain.He hurriedly changed his robes, wrapped his cloak around him, opened the door and went out.

The sun was shining brightly outside.

The snow in winter is white and crystal clear, reflecting the winter sun, making the red walls and green tiles particularly bright.

And under his porch, there was a smear of translucent light green, and when Jun Huailang raised his head, it bumped into his eyes.

It is clear and crystal clear, and the sun shines on it, shining brightly.The traces of green on the top are clear and bright, and they seem to come alive under the sunlight. From a distance, the bamboo shadows are swaying.

It was the glazed palace lantern he saw at the gate of the Changchun Tower last night when he caught a glimpse.
