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

There was no one at the entrance of the west hall.Jun Huailang knocked on the door, but no one answered.

Early in the morning, where can I go?

Jun Huailang looked around, seeing that Jinbao was not there, he was faintly worried.He even started to feel annoyed that he should have waited at the gate of Changchun Building yesterday until Xue Yan came out, and then went back to the palace with him.

"Go and ask, where did His Highness the Fifth Highness and Jin Bao go this morning?" Jun Huailang instructed Fu Yi.

Fuyi quickly responded, turned around and went to find Zheng Guangde.

But as soon as he turned around, he said pleasantly, "Master, His Highness Fifth is back."

Jun Huailang looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Xue Yan walking from the courtyard behind the palace.

In the winter, he was only wearing a thin strong suit, with sleeves wrapped around his wristbands, and his long hair was tied high. He looked neat and sharp, like a good knife out of its sheath, with an intimidating aura. spirit.

When he got closer, Jun Huailang saw that Xue Yan's forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and he was breathing heavily. He must have just returned from practicing martial arts.Jin Bao trotted along behind him, holding his robe in his hands, very courteous and neat.

Jun Huailang was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help feeling annoyed.

I just woke up, and my mind is confused.Xue Yan has to practice martial arts every day, why did he forget it, thought something happened, and hurried to find someone.

"What's wrong?" Xue Yan asked, standing still beside him.

As they got closer, Jun Huailang could feel the vigorous heat emanating from Xue Yan's body.It was clearly a cold day, but he was dressed in single clothes, but it still looked like a heat source.

Jun Huailang stepped aside uncomfortably.

"It's nothing, it's just—" I'm just worried that something happened to you last night, so I came to see you early in the morning, Jun Huailang is ashamed to say such words.

He paused, and finally found an excuse: "I just happened to go out and saw a light at the door, so I wanted to come over and ask, do you know where it came from?"

But as soon as the words were out of his mouth, there was a slight but clear hum, which came from his abdominal cavity and landed in the ears of the two of them.

...it's a bit embarrassing indeed.

Last night at the banquet, Jun Huailang didn't eat much, he just sat upright and drank.After sleeping all night, his stomach was already empty, but when he opened his eyes and was still dazed, he was worried that something would happen to Xue Yan, so he put the hunger behind him.

But he didn't want to embarrass himself at this moment.

He also said just now that he happened to go out to see the light, but who would go out just in time when he was hungry?This small sound immediately made his cover up self-defeating.

How could His Royal Highness, who has always been distinguished and refined, have ever suffered such embarrassment? He cleared his throat, trying to pretend he didn't hear the belly sounds, and planned to leave before leaving, and go back quickly for breakfast.

"Then I will..."

But before he could say anything, he heard Xue Yan laugh softly.

There was no intention of ridicule at all, just an understatement, with a bit of clarity, and some vague doting.

Jun Huailang looked over and happened to meet a pair of smiling eyes.

I don't know if it's Jun Huailang's illusion, but he always feels that those eyes are deep and hot, and they are obviously smiling, but they seem to be holding people down and eating them alive, which makes him feel a little bit of shyness in his heart. .

Jun Huailang just felt that he was thinking too much.

Then, he heard Xue Yan say indifferently: "I don't know, maybe the father saw that you like it, so he specially rewarded it to you."

That look seemed vaguely stained with ridicule and teasing.

Jun Huailang was stunned for a moment in doubt: "...No way?"

I just stopped at the entrance of the Changchun Building and took a few glances, how could I let the emperor know and give me the lamp on purpose?

Xue Yan glanced at his slightly dazed expression, and the corners of his lips curled slightly.

"That means that Lantern also likes you, and has seen you right, and has come to look for you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and opened the door, turned sideways, and let Jun Huailang go in, it seemed that he was going to invite him to have breakfast together.

Only then did Jun Huailang realize belatedly that this person was clearly teasing him.What the emperor rewarded, flew here by himself, and teased himself like a child?

Jun Huailang looked at him, and saw that the smile and banter on his face were not concealed at all.

Xue Yan usually has no expression on his face, but the smile he showed now is also shallow, with a bit of laziness, looking listless.

Jun Huailang had never seen him so naive and nasty.But suddenly, a firm idea popped up in his heart.

That lamp must have been given to him by Xue Yan.

-

In the palace, the family banquet on New Year's Eve is just the beginning of the new year.

From this day on, the palace became more and more lively day by day, and the princes no longer had to go to class.Jun Huailang stays in Mingluan Palace every day, so he has a lot of time to accompany Concubine Shu and Jun Linghuan to prepare those little bits and pieces for the New Year.

Meanwhile, he has other things to prepare.

Ever since Jun Linghuan got her own residence, every year on New Year's Eve, Jun Huailang would wrap her a red envelope and put it under her pillow.In addition to the New Year's money, there will be some unique gifts for her in it, and they will be pressed under her pillow.

This year is no exception.

In the past years, he lived at home and could enter and leave the Duke's mansion at will. The gifts for his sister were all found by himself.But living in the palace this year, he has nowhere to go, so he has to pick Junling Huan from the warehouse that Concubine Shu bought for him.

However, he has given Jun Linghuan gifts for several years, and he has already figured out Jun Linghuan's preferences.Concubine Shu sent him many and miscellaneous things, Jun Huailang picked out a delicate and unique pearl flower, which happened to fit into a red envelope.

But just as he was about to leave the warehouse, he remembered another thing.

"Master?" Seeing him stop thinking, Fuyi followed behind and called him.

Seeing Jun Huailang pondering for a moment, he said, "Should I also give one to His Highness Fifth?"

After all, this year, Mingluan Palace has more than just Jun Linghuan's child.

Fu Yi let out a chuckle, and said, "Young master, you are only one year older than His Highness Fifth Highness, and you can't be considered an elder of His Highness Fifth Highness."

Jun Huailang paused, and laughed softly.

Who said, counting her previous life, she would be ten years older than him anyway.

Although he is already used to returning to the age of 16, the extra years of experience in his previous life are still there.When it comes to psychological age, he can barely be regarded as Xue Yan's elder.

However, this has nothing to do with seniority.

In the beginning, he stuffed red envelopes under Jun Linghuan's pillow, just to let her find a little unknown surprise from under the pillow when she woke up early in the morning on the first day of each year.

Now that there is an extra Xue Yan in my aunt's palace, I only need to spend a little more time to share this with him, so that he can also take out a piece of paper from under his pillow in the new year in the first year of Mingluan Palace. Here comes a surprise.

Thinking of this, the corners of Jun Huailang's lips could not help but rise slightly.

"You go and get the box that the family brought in when you entered the palace." Jun Huailang said.

When he entered the palace, the Duke's Mansion provided him with a lot of clothes and accessories for him to use in the palace.Xue Yan will live in the deep palace all year round in the future, so giving him things from the palace is really a little distracted.

And the ones I brought from the mansion were much more delicate and unique, and some of them were bought by Jun Huailang himself.

Fu Yi obeyed, commanding the palace staff to deliver the box brought by the mansion to Jun Huailang.

Jun Huailang picked and picked, and found a sapphire jade from the box.

"What do you think of this?" He took it to Fu Yi and showed it to him.

He remembered that he bought the jade from an antique shop by himself, and bought it purely because of its interesting style, which would catch people's eyes.

Ordinary jades are all simple rings with a gap left, and the top is engraved with patterns.And this piece of jade was carved out of a whole piece of sapphire into a koi carp, vividly.

The fish was in the shape of its tail, which just formed the arc of Yu Jue, looking delicate and agile.

Fu Yi hurriedly said: "Master, you really like this jade pendant. When you first bought it, you fell in love with it at first sight, and you couldn't put it down! You should change it, and you can keep this one for yourself."

Jun Huailang smiled and said, "That's all."

He was different from when he was ten years old in his previous life, and he already took things lightly.What's more, Xue Yan gave him a glazed lamp a few days ago, but I don't know how he got it.It is only natural for him to return the gift and give him a jade pendant.

"Go and see, is the red paper bag enough?" Jun Huailang instructed Fu Yi.

Fuyi had no choice but to look for a red paper bag and try it on Jun Huailang's behalf.The jade jue was delicate and unique, the size was just right, it could just fit into the red envelope prepared by Jun Huailang.

"That's just right." Jun Huailang smiled and glanced at Fuyi with a pity face, then reached out and knocked on his forehead. "It just fits in, which also means that this thing should be given to His Royal Highness Fifth."

Fu Yi muttered: "Young Master, you are too generous."

Jun Huailang took the red seal containing the jade, smiled and shook his head.

Ruo Fuyi has also experienced the previous life, so he can naturally understand where his generosity comes from.There is nothing worth caring about any exquisite, unique and rare foreign objects.In comparison, what is more important is that those people I care about can live their lives in peace without suffering.

Under this premise, it is only natural to do your best to give more kindness.

"You go and have a look later, if there is nothing wrong with Jinbao, you can call him again." Jun Huailang ordered again.

-

On the eve of New Year's Eve, red silk was hung high in Mingluan Palace, and red lanterns were hung everywhere, just waiting for the next day to celebrate the New Year.

In the middle of the night, Jin Bao tiptoed open the door of the west hall, complaining incessantly.

Although the son of the living Bodhisattva is good at everything, he just likes to send himself to do some drudgery on Tai Sui's head.

And every time he said the order, he downplayed it lightly, as if it was an easy thing to accomplish.

For example this time.

Through the paper window, the light of the red lanterns outside came in faintly, a hazy red, which cast a horrible atmosphere on the whole west side hall.Jin Bao cautiously held the red seal that Jun Huailang gave him with one hand, and cautiously approached Xue Yan.

He waited by Xue Yan's side all day, or Xue Yan was alone in the room, so he had no chance to put the red seal under Xue Yan's pillow.

He had no choice but to stay up late at night, groped into Xue Yan's room door, and wanted to take this opportunity to stuff the red seal under his pillow.

...Look, what kind of hard work His Royal Highness arranged for him!

Put a red seal under Xue Yan's pillow?He thought it was as easy as putting objects under a child's pillow?

Jin Bao groaned in his heart, but he dared not refuse. He tensed his nerves all the way, carefully walked through the hall, bypassed the screen, and approached Xue Yan's bed.

Fortunately, the living Yan Luo was breathing steadily at the moment, so he should be in a deep sleep.

Jin Bao walked carefully to the bed.

Xue Yan didn't move at all, he finally settled down, squeezed the red seal, and approached Xue Yan's bed cautiously...

Suddenly, white light suddenly appeared.

A bright silver dagger drew a ray of cold light, and it lay tightly on the side of Jin Bao's neck.With just a slight tug, his blood would splatter on the spot, and there was no possibility of him surviving.

The cold blade was attached to the main artery, and Jin Bao didn't dare to move, his legs were frozen in place, he had lost consciousness for a long time, his eyes were wide open, and the scream was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't even utter it.

Xue Yan had already stood up suddenly, half of that overly delicate face was hidden in the darkness, and half was illuminated by the red light outside, with a murderous expression in the coldness.

Facing those cold, silent amber eyes, Jin Bao only felt that he had met Lord Yama.

"What are you doing?" He heard Xue Yan ask in a cold voice.

How could Jinbao make a sound?

With the last bit of strength he had, he picked up the red envelope in his hand and let Xue Yan see it.

"Yes...His Royal Highness." Feeling the dagger resting on his neck loosen by two points, Jin Bao swallowed, before opening his mouth with difficulty. "He sent the slave to the master."

With a flash of white light, the dagger on Jin Bao's neck was taken away, like a poisonous snake ready to go, it hibernated back under Xue Yan's pillow again.

He sat on the bed with one leg propped up, one hand on his knee, and then he yawned lazily, and his expression returned to normal.

"Bring it." He raised a hand and ordered lightly.

Jin Bao's legs gave way, and he staggered, almost kneeling on the ground.But he didn't dare to be negligent, holding the red seal in both hands, and raised it in front of Xue Yan.

Xue Yan took it over, with some doubts on his face, he turned down the red seal, and saw a few small gold ingots and a piece of jade rustling onto his bed.

"What is this?" Xue Yan picked up the piece of jade, frowned suspiciously, and asked.

Here, the red envelopes are all here, what are you asking?

"...It's the New Year's money given to you by the crown prince." Jin Bao said.

Xue Yan caressed the jade pendant in his hand.

Under the dim light, the sapphire exudes a warm color.The sculpted koi carp has smooth and soft lines, and the silk ribbon on its head rests gently on his hand.

"...What is it for?" Xue Yan paused, then asked with a frown.

Indeed, he never had any lucky money, and he never had any peers who played with him since he was a child, and he didn't know what the concept was.For him, Chinese New Year is nothing more than eating a hot meal of stewed mutton in the army, and then watching the soldiers drinking and punching until the sky turns white.

Now it was Jinbao's turn to be surprised, he even forgot to be afraid.

This...my family is poor, and even when I was a child, some elders put one or two copper coins under the pillow during the Chinese New Year. How come the master doesn't even know this?

Jinbao had no choice but to explain cautiously: "Master, this New Year's money is for people to take the red paper and put the wallet under the child's pillow on New Year's Eve, so as to avoid evil spirits and keep them safe for a year."

Xue Yan paused and looked at the few small gold ingots scattered on the bed.

This is to ward off evil spirits and keep safe?

After a while, Jin Bao saw Xue Yan staring blankly at the little gold ingot for a while, and then showed a very shallow smile.

"Understood." Xue Yan said calmly while putting those small ingots back into the red envelope. "Thank you for your hard work, back down."

This was the first time Jinbao heard Xue Yan say "hard work" to him.

You know, he was born and died for Xue Yan, and he saw dead men go to the East Factory to steal things, but he never got Xue Yan to say "hard work".

But thinking about it, I was almost killed by this ancestor just now!

Jin Bao muttered inwardly, and withdrew.

He was too busy talking to himself, so naturally he didn't notice the light and emotion in Xue Yan's downcast eyes as he slowly packed the things in the red envelope.

From childhood to adulthood, he only kept weapons under his pillow to save his life in his dreams.This is what King Yan taught him.King Yan said that there are many evil spirits in the world, and only by keeping a blade beside him and being alert at all times, can he cut it off at any time to save his life.

This was the first time that someone put a well-prepared and heavy red seal under his pillow to drive away evil spirits and keep him safe.

Xue Yan slowly lay back on the pillow with the red seal on it.

There are lights and festoons outside the window, which is already full of the atmosphere of the New Year.

This was the first time that Xue Yan clearly felt that this excitement had something to do with him.

And it's interesting to say that he has been alone for so many years, and this world that belongs to other people has been closely related to him, but it is only because of one person.
