Chang'an Youth Tour

Mu Fengju did not expect that Yunlan would reopen the East Palace at this time.

Of course it was the order of the Holy Majesty, he knew it, but the East Palace was the prince's residence, so it could be sealed, and if it was reopened, it would involve a lot of ramifications, and it was inevitable that the clan would bring up the emperor's heir again.Although he is not sophisticated in thinking about the court situation, how could Yun Lan not think of things that he could think of?

He looked at Yun Lan Zhang Luo full of doubts, and made Yun Lan laugh: "There are still many things you don't know. You will understand more by reading more and talking less."

Mu Fengju responded, and Yun Lan thought of something, and said: "To be honest, don't talk nonsense, think twice about everything."

After saying this, she herself was in a daze, it was really paradoxical, the sympathy she failed to show to the boy back then was given to someone else today.After all, it was just a trick of fate, but in the end, he missed it, and he couldn't be as ruthless as Rong Ling and □□ in his later years.

The second batch of Jingbei Army entered Beijing, and the scene was bigger than anything else, even vaguely overshadowing Ao Zhong's pomp and circumstance. No wonder there were rumors that this time he was going to be crowned king again.The main thing is that the Holy Majesty valued it, Prince Gong greeted him personally outside the city, and the red bird knocked at the palace gate, all of them were confidants.

Yan Junyu signed his real name at the post station all the way back, and when he was outside the capital, it was already known to the whole world.Even He Qiluo laughed at him: "This is really homecoming."

"General He is still talking about me? Let me see how you explain to your brother." Yan Junyu also laughed at her.

"How to explain, I have to go back and they will be thankful." He Qiluo was very proud: "You have to think about your 'explaining'."

No wonder Ao Ji always wants him to go wandering, it turns out that after going out for a while and then coming back, it really feels like a world away.The city walls of Kyoto, once thought to be unattainable, are now nothing more than ordinary.

Xiao Xu waited for him at the gate of the city. After staying in the fortress for a long time, he was still taken aback when he saw the bustling scene in the middle of the capital. The crowded streets and the world of mortals were still eating pots of pulp to welcome the master.Riding on a horse and walking through Xuanwu Main Street, it is indeed a feeling of being proud of the spring breeze and seeing all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.Thinking back to the time when he went hunting with the East Palace, he only felt that Ao Ji was so majestic holding the flag. It turned out that in this position, besides the gaze, the most important thing was the responsibility on his body.

He Qiluo said it lightly, but she was still nervous when entering the inner city.She peeked at Yan Junyu, the fearless Hussar General was not quite right now, his whole expression was very strange, as if he was about to do something he had been looking forward to for a long time, or as if he had finally returned home after a long journey.

The Holy Majesty met them in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and it was the first time for He Qiluo to enter the palace, and only then did he know how wide and long the palace road was.In the large square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the floor tiles are square, and Xuanbi is carved with a five-clawed dragon. Hundreds of civil and military officials lined up on both sides, and countless eyes fell on them.But the most nervous one is the one above Xuan Majesty.

The midsummer sun was shining brightly at noon, and He Qiluo knew the rules and did not dare to raise his head. The most difficult thing this time was actually Yu Ye, who said that Jingbeihou's merits and demerits were balanced, but in the end he still had to be judged by the Holy One.She had never been afraid of anything, but at this moment she didn't have the courage to take a peek, only to hear a servant shouting out the names of the generals that Jingbei had met in the palace this time.

There seemed to be a lot of pressure on her back, she fell on the ground, and heard the Holy Master tell them to stand up.

It was a very young voice, but I still didn't dare to look at it, but I called her name. During the question and answer, her voice didn't seem to be my own, it seemed to be squeezed out of her throat, and Wei Ru would definitely laugh later.Ask Yu Ye first, and then ask her, she finally resisted the urge to raise her head and finished answering, after all, it should be Yan Junyu, but she heard the Holy Master's voice paused.

She knew it would be disrespectful to speculate like this, but when she was in the middle of the capital, she also vaguely heard some rumors about the East Palace, otherwise she wouldn't have laughed at Yan Junyu when she first entered the city.He Qiluo endured and endured, and finally mustered up a little courage, and secretly glanced at the Holy Majesty.

The young man on the dragon chair was more handsome and noble than she had imagined. He was wearing a plain dragon robe in the midsummer weather without showing a trace of heat.The five-clawed dragon was embroidered with silver on the white tapestry brocade, and the black cicada-winged crown pressed down on the temples, making the whole figure more and more like the moon rising from the mountain, but the momentum was like the sun in the sky, making people dare not look directly at it.

However, it was rumored that he was wise and martial, and his etiquette was impeccable in the East Palace. The noble Tianheng Emperor, after asking the two generals in Jingbei, did not immediately call out Yan Junyu's name.

He just quietly looked at the young man kneeling on the ground under His Majesty Dan, his expression was so gentle, almost greedy, as if he was sighing, but there was a faint smile on his face.

No one knew how Yan Junyu felt.

He was measuring his little words inch by inch with his eyes, from the young man's slender back to his already grown body, even the body hidden under the armor... His eyes almost carried weight and heat.

Yan Junyu blushed almost instantly.

He is really worthless, and he has fought countless battles. When he sees it, it seems to have changed back to his little words.Those years in the East Palace rolled up before him like a sea of ​​clouds, and Yan Junyu exhausted all his strength to not raise his eyes to look at him.

"Your Majesty..." Suzaku just wanted to remind.

"The soldiers are all tired, let's take a rest first, and have a banquet in the palace to reward everyone."

Although it was a dinner, it actually started in the afternoon. The soldiers took a short rest in the Hall of Martial Arts, removed their armor and changed their clothes, in order to attend the banquet that will be held later.Yan Junyu was changing clothes, when He Qiluo barged in, he was so frightened that he quickly avoided, and Wei Ru also kept hiding: "Why are you poking around everywhere, go and see your General Yu."

"Hey, it's not like I haven't seen it before." He Qiluo still peeled and ate a bunch of lychees in his hand, jumped to sit on the table, and teased Junyu: "Can you do it? I don't think His Majesty even has your name. Read, are you mad at me?"

"It's up to you. When the young master was a companion in the East Palace, you were still Mrs. Rong. You still said that we were scared like a quail just now." Wei Ru changed her clothes and came out to fight her mouth up.

In fact, the situation on the side of "Your Majesty" is far less calm than what He Qiluo said, at least not from Yun Lan's point of view.She knew about the matter of becoming a king, but the East Palace is now implementing a benevolent government, so she slowly figured it out.It may also be waiting for the reaction of the old clan members of the Privy Council, after all, she is not the only one with the sharp blade of Emperor Tianheng.

Leaving aside the matter in the court, the most important thing is in front of you.The banquet at night will obviously be very late. Yun Lan went through all the political affairs that should be postponed to tomorrow with Emperor Tianheng in the Mingzheng Palace, and was about to wait for him to change his clothes for lunch break. Bar."

Yangfeng Pavilion is cool and close to Mingzheng Palace, where emperors usually live in summer, such trifles kings never say anything, but this time he said indifferently: "I think the lotus in Yuxi Palace is very good."

Yun Lan is Linglong's heart, how could she not understand.

He Qiluo and Wei Ru walked out while bickering, but fortunately they reacted quickly, otherwise they would have almost bumped into a somersault with the emperor's ceremonial guard. In front of the hall.When I asked what it was, I didn't know, but said that lunch was set up in Yinghuatang.

Good lunch, why did you come here?

"Your Majesty is afraid that we will rebel, right? That's why you came to watch us in person." He Qiluo said with a smile.

"Who is staring at you for nothing, stop talking nonsense, and be careful that the censor finds out, it won't kill you."

Although Wei Ru didn't understand any strategies when he was in the East Palace, but compared to He Qiluo, he has seen a lot of world and knows the horror of Yushi, so he educated her.The two of them were talking, when they saw the palace maid and eunuch carrying the food box, the leader was Yun Lan, she knew Wei Ru, she didn't speak, just smiled at him.

What Wei Ru couldn't guess, she knew when she heard "The Lotus of Yuxi Palace".

Although the dragon imprisoned in the golden cage is used to restraint and dare not act rashly, he still wants to get closer to his Xiaoyan.He Qiluo's doubts were not unreasonable. Although the generals who have returned to the court have always been under strict supervision, this is the first time that they have been watched all the time.

Wings can't escape.

The banquet in the palace is extraordinary.

Not to mention He Qiluo, even the distinguished Jingbei Marquis Yu Ye and Wei Ru, who had stayed in the palace, were the first time they had been to such a state banquet and they were still guests.It is full of beautiful flowers, cooking oil with fire, and lights like sea, illuminating the Yongming Palace like daytime, delicacies from mountains and seas, delicacies and wines, singing and dancing. scene.

Going from the rough and desolate desert to such a prosperous palace all of a sudden, it is really dazzling and soul-stirring. No wonder so many famous generals ended up spending time in the rich township, it is really too hard to resist.

Compared with famous generals, emperors are even more difficult.How many talented kings indulged in enjoyment in the end, and even Emperor Xianqingde had a lot of extravagant and wasteful enjoyment in his later years, which is really frightening.Emperor Tianheng arrived after all the generals were seated, followed by a bunch of clan princes, who obviously went to the Privy Council in the afternoon.He Qiluo took the opportunity to look at him when he was saluting this time, and saw that he looked at the banquet with a normal expression, still as bright as the moon, as if all the prosperity could not stain his body, and he was a little relieved.

But when she was distracted, she discovered one thing.

Yan Junyu was gone.

She was in a hurry now, and went to find Wei Ru, that idiot was drinking with Yu Ye, both of them were quite serious, although they also watched singing and dancing, neither of them looked sideways, they were very well-behaved, it was really funny.She grabbed Wei Ru and asked a few words, Wei Ru said calmly: "Master, I will go out in the afternoon, and I will be back when the banquet starts. Don't worry about it."

He Qiluo didn't bother to pay attention to him, so she went out by herself, out of the Palace of Yongming, there was a constant stream of maids and servants outside, she couldn't find anyone, only saw a courtyard at the back of the palace, smelling the fragrance of lotus from a distance, probably connected to the garden in the palace There is also a small pavilion in Yuhu, with faint lights inside.

She was going, but just after taking two steps, she was stopped by a female officer with a smile: "Why isn't General Ye at the table?"

It was the female official I met outside the Hall of Martial Heroes. Wei Ru was afraid of her, and He Qiluo was clever. Although she was gentle and beautiful, she could vaguely tell that her expression was not that of an ordinary female official, and she was a little afraid of her.Besides, generals must be cautious when they are in Beijing.So I didn't dare to say more, I just said: "I'm here to find General Yan."

"Xiaoyan still has something to do. I'll be back later. General, let's go to the banquet. Today is the celebration banquet. Wouldn't it be a pity not to get drunk?" The female officer sent her away with a smile.

He Qiluo returned to the banquet and found that not only Yan Junyu hadn't returned, but even the Holy Majesty had disappeared.

Yan Junyu came back over the wall.

It is common sense that the generals returning to Beijing cannot walk around at will.But he has to go to see grandma first, and there are many people to meet.In fact, it’s nothing to say a word, but it must be done after the first sentence is said.

But Xiao Jingyan didn't even call him by his name.

It's really annoying.

He already knew from Suzaku that after Mrs. Yan fell ill last year, she suddenly figured it out and was admitted to the palace early. She lived near the Yichun Palace where Empress Mingyi used to live, not too far away. .He is very familiar with the imperial palace, so I went over the wall to meet him whenever I had a chance. Mrs. Yan's hair was all white, and she was both happy and sad when she saw him. She was afraid that he would be hungry, so she got a lot of things for him eat.

Yan Junyu was going to meet Chen Wen on the way back, but after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. Chen Wen has always followed the rules, and he must be shocked to see him acting like this.What's more, with the matter of Yu Yanran, the generals themselves are afraid now, after all, God's grace is unpredictable.

But Yan Junyu knew what was going on with Yu Yanran.

It's like he knew that Xiao Jingyan must know that he climbed over the wall and ran around in the palace.He is not the moody king that the world fears, but the imperial power is too heavy and scary, so that no one dares to understand his true colors.

So when he returned to Yongming Palace, he was stopped by Yun Lan as soon as he entered, she seemed to be much gentler than when he left the palace, maybe because the crisis was over, she smiled and asked him to wait here.

Yan Junyu actually didn't want to wait, but although he was fearless, he was still apprehensive. When he left without saying goodbye, although he had many things on his mind when he left, he underestimated the dangers of the frontier after all. Several life-and-death moments, the one in the desert was completely carried over by luck, and I was afraid when I thought about it.

He must know too.

Yan Junyu stood in the pavilion by the lake, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he must be angry with him, because he almost died in the border area and almost never came back, and he had promised him at the beginning.

But Master Xiaoyan from the Eastern Palace followed Luo Heng and didn’t learn anything else. He learned a lot by beating him, not to mention that he was not happy when he climbed over the wall today. After waiting in the pavilion for a long time, he thought that Xiao Jingyan might be angry with himself. He simply became angry himself.

The night by the lake was cool, half of the lotus flowers were blooming, and the moonlight shone shimmeringly. Yan Junyu finally waited until the eunuch announced loudly. The glazed palace lanterns in the palace were bright and big, and saw the acacia tree hanging down numerous flower branches by the road. Under the moonlight, it comes through flowers and willows, like a scene in a dream.

The white dragon robe he is wearing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony today is very good-looking. Yan Junyu knows why he is dressed plainly on the day of rejoicing. In the battle of Youyan, more than [-] people were killed in battle alone, the second in Jingbei. Those who were approved to return to Beijing were not only the generals who wanted to be crowned princes and kings, but also the corpses of soldiers who died in battle. Most of them could not even return with their ashes. When they are sent back to their hometown, their parents will use their military cards to receive pensions at the end of each year. Soldiers fight five times and civilian husbands halve. The whole family will not starve to death during the New Year's Eve. This is the value of a life.

The Yunjun car was at the end of the line, and the ruts were so deep that He Qiluo didn't dare to look at it. Only he and Yu Ye went to see it.They were all sons and daughters who had fought side by side in Jingbei, and their parents, wives and children were waiting to go home, piled up in boxes, and neither of them said a word.It rained all the way when entering Beijing, and it was raining when we arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony. It is said that the heroic souls of the soldiers followed back to Beijing, and they were relieved when they saw the wiseness of the saint. Qin Tianjian may have thought about the eulogy.It will come in handy after the autumn festival.

There is only one person in the world who can heal the deep wounds left by this tragic victory on the people and the pain of the entire Great Zhou.He knew that wearing white was a heavy responsibility, the sun in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was so dazzling, all civil and military officials were smiling, even Wei Ru and He Qiluo were happy, only the emperor still shouldered all the responsibilities.

He still wears blue at night, and is still in the filial piety of the first emperor. The silver dragon embroidery glows faintly in the dark, and the lantern illuminates his face. His eyes are still like mountains and haze in memory, but the momentum on his body is much heavier, as if from a long time ago. Gradually waking up from the cold, seeing himself, he still gradually showed a smile.

Yun Lan just talked to herself, she probably knew that she was angry, and she hesitated to speak. The former female officer of the East Palace didn't understand love words, so she couldn't find the right words to speak, and said: "Actually, Your Majesty...he hasn't laughed for a long time, Xiaoyan, you..."

Why don't you laugh?Probably because he was too tired, like that night in Sihongtang, when he chatted with himself about plum blossoms, he had gone through the cold winter alone many times.Ao Ji left, Rong Hao left, and finally Yu Yanran also left.He spent many of those moments alone. He was in Jingbei, and he only felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, but he was responsible for the whole world.

Yan Junyu only felt that his eyes were hot, but he didn't go up to meet him. Instead, he turned his head away. He stood in the shadow of the corner of the pavilion, looking at the lake.

All the entourage retreated, leaving only the lantern behind, and the young emperor walked into the pavilion, silent for a long time.

It is always too late, there are always more important things, and the situation is always stronger than others, and it is too late to say a word. When the East Palace was the most difficult, he waited on the sick in the Yonggan Palace, looking at the moonlight in the sky, thinking that if he could It's fine to see Xiaoyan, even if you just don't speak, just take a look.

It's finally today, but I don't know what to say for a moment, I just quietly called "Xiaoyan..."

The young man standing in the shadows was taller and thinner. Jingbei's armor was heavy, and he didn't feel it when he put on the armor. He only felt so thin when he took off the armor.Not long after the war ended, he had new injuries piled on top of old ones, and his whole body had already grown apart, standing upright like a gun.There is still a saber hanging on the waist, just like Tai/Zu in his later years, after the war, the weapon has never been separated from the body, and the knife is hidden under the pillow. , And wrote a sentence like "the moon in the sky in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as Changan's pillow".

He has never been to the frontier, so he can only piece together his experiences from the scrolls, saying that the emperor is rich all over the world and holds the world in his hands, but maybe he may not be able to see his own world in his lifetime.

He didn't expect Yan Junyu's answer.

The young man standing in the corner of the small pavilion seemed a little unfamiliar with this address, and seemed to be a little bit angry, and said in a muffled voice: "I am not the Xiaoyan you want..."

If it were someone else, he would probably retreat, but he is Xiao Jingyan after all.Not only did he not retreat, but he took a step forward, and before Yan Junyu could react, he was trapped in the corner of the pavilion.

In fact, if you want to run, you can run away. Thousands of troops rushed over, but the young general did not run.He is no longer a young man like a small animal in the East Palace Forest, but more like a beautiful big deer in the forest. He was a little injured and didn't want to leave, but he was a little wronged to stay.Maybe it was because Xiao Jingyan's eyes were too gentle, so he didn't hide, and let him hold up the palace lantern in his hand, inspecting his wound inch by inch with quiet eyes.

A handsome and handsome general, his facial features have grown, it is still his Xiaoyan, only more beautiful.The skin is still the same white as before, but there is a terrible wound on the left brow bone, slanting across the whole eye, it can be seen that it is a new wound, because some parts of the wound are still dark red.This is not a knife or sword wound, but Xirong's scimitar, with a crescent-like arc.It irreparably remained on his left cheek, across the eyelid, and even the cheekbone was affected, like a crack being smashed on the stone statue of the perfect god in Taoism.

Just looking at it, I feel terrified. The scar is dangerous and dangerous. If it is any heavier, the eye will be gone, and even my life will not be saved.Rong Hao will never know the weight of Helian's words when he returned to the army - at the critical moment of life and death, he kept his hand, and left a small speech with all beard and tail for his Master Rong.

Xiao Jingyan didn't speak for a long time.

The young emperor's eyes seemed to be frozen like a mountain of haze. He just stretched out his hand and gently touched the scar with his fingertips.

His movements were very light, as if he was afraid of hurting himself.

"Does it hurt?" Yan Junyu heard him ask softly.

It's really useless, obviously many life-and-death junctures have passed, and even more painful ones have passed, but because of his words, his eyes are sore.Like when my father came back from the frontier for the first time, he refused to show his mother his scars.It’s also like the joke that my uncle told everyone at home. The spoiled little cousin once climbed a tree and fell from the tree. He was fine, but when he saw him pass by, he immediately started crying .

But Yan Junyu knew that what he was asking was the moment when he was injured, the last battle in Youzhou, and also the most dangerous one. Blood was all over his face, and he couldn't see his whole eye. For a moment, Yan Junyu thought I was going to be blind, lawless like him, and I was afraid at that moment.

"Actually, it doesn't hurt that much..." Yan Junyu said in a daze when he heard his own voice.

It's always like this, when you meet him, you become so dumb, and the big world you have seen in the frontier becomes a small thing in front of him.Just being patted on the head by grandma, there is no such grievance, as if he has changed back to the Xiaoyan of the East Palace, as long as he comforts him.

But he didn't believe it, there was still such a gentle and sad expression in his mountain-like eyes, just when Yan Junyu thought it was over, he suddenly leaned over and kissed the wound lightly.

It was an extremely light kiss, like a butterfly landing on a flower pistil, so precious and precious, as if his little words were the most precious thing in the world, which would break if touched, so he dared to kiss so cautiously.

Yan Junyu was completely dumbfounded by the kiss, and heard him say: "There are no other young people, only Xiaoyan. Whether you believe in Xiaoyan or not, no matter what becomes of Xiaoyan, there is only Xiaoyan in my heart."

Believe in you, there is a ghost, Mu Fengju is right next to you, think I'm blind.Yan Junyu slandered in her heart.

The number one scholar was also too dumb, the way Yan Junyu looked at the reception inevitably reminded him of Ye Liangyu himself when he entered the palace.Of course he knew that Xiao Jingyan would not be tempted, but Mu Fengju's look of wanting to find out but being very puzzled was clearly interested in this one in front of him.Besides, there are indeed beauties in Jiangnan, and Bi Rong Hao is not much worse.Yan Junyu seriously wanted to find something to say, but after thinking about it, he said, "I think you are doing well, and the number one scholar has been selected."

Xiao Jingyan suddenly laughed.

No wonder Yun Lan was so worried about him not being happy for a long time. Emperor Tianheng, who the officials of the Hall of Martial Arts dare not peek at lightly, actually looks so good when he smiles, like a cloud breaking through the moon, even this small pavilion lights up together stand up.

"As soon as Xiaoyan comes back, the price of vinegar in the capital will increase."

It's still an old joke, which makes people angry and funny.General Yan was unambiguous, and immediately punched him. He Qiluo was afraid that he would commit the crime of deceiving the emperor. In fact, it was nothing to attack the emperor directly. Xiao Jingyan just smiled and wrapped his arms around his waist, and then hugged him.

"Fool." Yan Junyu heard him say softly.In fact, Yan Junyu knows that he is also stupid, and love always makes people timid.

"My Xiaoyan is the best in the world. Is it young or not? Does it matter if I have scars or not? I only want my Xiaoyan." In the night wind, the emperor named Xiao Lu who was hugging him said the best. Love words: "There will be no other teenagers. All the opportunities and time in my life are given to Xiaoyan. Whether Xiaoyan likes it or not, it is you."

This is not a happy meeting, there is not so much cheering and joy, they have all come through life and death.Yan Junyu knew.

But at this moment, I just want to ignite him, warm him, and make him smile.Hug him, kiss him, call him a name that many people have long forgotten. He has sunk in the abyss for too long, and even his smile has faded.Just thinking about this makes me feel heartbroken, but Yan Junyu knows that he doesn't need extra comfort, as long as he is the same as before, whether he stays in the couch, stays in the nest, or is jealous, as long as he is his little talk, as long as When you are with him, he will be happy.

He is Xiao Zhu, and he only wants his little words.He said so.

I never believed him.

The night breeze is blowing, the lotus in Yuhu Lake is blooming, and the sound of silk and bamboo at the banquet can be heard in the distance. It is the most pleasant thing in the world to be able to hug the person you like in such a dark night.

And General Yan, who has fought countless battles, suffered many injuries, and traveled thousands of miles and finally returned, can finally rest peacefully for a night resting on the shoulders of the person he likes.
