love palace

The stream in Wanwan flowed down from the moss-covered rocks, passed through Wei Qing's ankles, and stirred up two whirlpools.

The water is very shallow, Wei Qing can only soak his entire lower limbs by sitting in it, and there is nothing to wash, the things left by Huang Ye have already been wiped away with his coat.

It's just that the cold stream still couldn't wash away the hot feeling, the skin was burning, and the place Huang Ye touched was as hot as if it had been branded.

Wei Qing didn't quite remember what happened afterwards, he just felt a blank in his head, only the fiery touch remained in his heart, which was really hard to erase.

At that time, the sound of ping bang fighting woke up Wei Qing, who was in a daze. He saw Huang Ye kill several masked men in a row, then turned back, picked him up, and flew out of the stone house.

When they got on their horses and left, they heard the sound of horseshoes not far away. It should be that Eunuch Zhang went back to report and the emperor had arrived.

Fortunately, they were able to escape in time, otherwise Huang Ye would have been unable to argue with the disheveled Concubine Yun.

On the way back, when passing the stream, Huang Ye took the reins and jumped off the horse. Wei Qing also dismounted. Seeing Huang Ye plunge his head into the cold stream, he couldn't help being startled.

"Your Highness...?"

"Leave me alone." Huang Ye raised his head and said coldly, his black eyes were darker than before.

"...!" Wei Qing was at a loss, standing there trembling slightly.

"You go over there to wash first, I'll find some clothes." Perhaps seeing Wei Qing's timid look, Huang Ye's tone softened a bit.

"Yes..." So Wei Qing came to the other side of the rock and washed his body in the water, but his hands and feet didn't have much strength, and he was just washed by the water in the end.

"Hey hey!"

After neighing a few times, it was Huang Ye who came back, holding a short coat bought from a farmer in his hand, all patched, but it was better than the tattered clothes Wei Qing was wearing now.

"Put it on." Huang Ye stood on the rock and said to Wei Qing.

"Yes." Wei Qing seemed to only say yes. He stood up from the stream, his torn clothes covered his knees, and he could see two snow-white legs and the bright red tooth marks at the base of his thighs.

Huang Ye still remembered that when he was burning with desire, he gnawed and sucked this immature body like crazy, forced Wei Qing to ejaculate, and vented his desire on him...

"Your Highness?"

Seeing Huang Ye suddenly dropped his clothes, turned around and walked back to the horse with big strides, Wei Qing thought that he was slow and made him unhappy, so he quickly put on his short jacket and trousers, regardless of whether they fit or not. On the coarse cloth belt.

"Come up, go back."

Huang Ye said briefly, and got on the horse first.Wei Qing approached, supported the saddle with both hands, and carefully turned over and sat astride it.

"Today's incident, you'd better forget about it, it was just an accident." Before raising his whip, Huang Ye said suddenly.

"..." Wei Qing didn't know how to answer, her heart was inexplicably tight and her breathing was very short. "...Yes, Your Highness."

The moment the weak voice fell, the horse galloped wildly. Wei Qing almost fell off. He quickly grabbed the saddle, but he dared not touch Huang Ye's body.

As soon as he touched it, Wei Qing felt that Huang Ye would leave him behind and never talk to him again.

After a bumpy journey back to the camp from the mountain road, Qing Yun was already waiting at the gate of the camp, and when he saw them, he said anxiously, the emperor's side is a blast!Killed a lot of eunuchs!

It turned out that Eunuch Zhang falsely accused Huang Ye of having an affair with Concubine Yun, but when he took the emperor to catch the adulterer, Concubine Yun was the only one in the room who fell asleep, and there were six corpses that looked like bandits. outside.

Concubine Yun was awakened by the imperial physician's medicine and asked her, but she didn't know anything, she just cried so loudly that she wanted the emperor to make the decision to prove her innocence.

But everyone is dead, how to prove it?This turned out to be an unsolved case, but it happened that one of the corpses was Eunuch Zhang's attendant eunuch Xiao Lizi, who was also the edict he falsely passed on to Huang Ye.

The emperor recognized him, so he asked for an autopsy, and it turned out that all six of them were gangsters pretending to be eunuchs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Eunuch Zhang slipped away and couldn't find it anywhere.The emperor understood what was going on, he knew that the empress dowager loved the eldest prince and sent his confidant Eunuch Zhang to assist him, but he did not expect that they would be so despicable and do such a rebellious thing.

So even the eldest prince was locked up right now, saying that he would wait for Eunuch Zhang to be caught and have a public trial to clear the names and reputations of Concubine Yun and Huang Ye.

"His Royal Highness, it was really dangerous just now. You don't know. Earlier, more than 300 imperial forest troops surrounded our camp, and not a single moth could fly out! I was in a hurry, and suddenly withdrew again. , went to the first prince’s tent, saying that he followed the order to arrest the rebellious son.”

Qing Yun spoke eloquently, spitting flying all over the place, it can be seen that he was quite frightened and was anxious for Huang Ye. Then, he caught a glimpse of Wei Qing, the child servant behind Huang Ye, who kept his head down and stood without a word. with.

When Wei Qing went out in the morning, he was still wearing a decent cloth shirt, but now he has turned into a gray short jacket with patches everywhere, and the hem drags below his knees, like a little beggar.

But he just glanced at it, didn't care much, and continued talking to Huang Ye.

"Qing Yun, let's talk after we go in." Huang Ye interrupted him and led him into the tent, but let Wei Qing stay outside.

"Go down, it's none of your business here, don't come in without my order." Huang Ye's indifferent attitude surprised even Qing Yun, although Huang Ye has never been lukewarm to his servants, But Wei Qing is still treated differently.

At least let him stay and wait for him to change clothes and rest. I heard that Huang Ye is still teaching Wei Qing to play Go in his spare time.

You must know that Huang Ye was born with aloofness, but he never taught a slave what to do.

After Wei Qing went down, Huang Ye discussed with Qing Yun about increasing the guards of the camp. He believed that the remnants of the First Prince were still lurking in the barracks, and they would not give up making trouble just because the First Prince was arrested, and they needed to be on guard.

Qing Yun took the order to go down, Huang Ye sat on the soft couch to rest, half an hour later, it would be dinner time, and he was going to greet his father and queen dowager, his father did not call him urgently to ask about Concubine Yun, so it can be seen I have 100% confidence in his innocence.

But it doesn't mean that he went to say hello and won't be asked.For example, where he went in the afternoon, who he was with, and why he disappeared, Huang Ye had to answer them one by one, and all the answers were tight.

Of course, none of these problems troubled him. On the way back, Huang Ye had already figured out how to deal with it, but the restlessness and dullness in his heart could not go away.

The rosewood chessboard has been laid down, but there is no one left. It is the first time that he is so restless and cranky.

In fact, after being drugged with aphrodisiacs, it would be enough to force out some of the properties of the medicine, and then self-blasphemy, but taking into account Wei Qing's presence, he didn't do that, and the result...!

"Kara."

The pure white cloud shattered into two pieces between the slender fingers, the sharp fragments pierced into the finger, oozing blood, but Huang Ye didn't feel the pain at all, his mind was full of Wei Qing's fair, weak and helpless body, gasping lips.

Maybe... it's time for him to accept a concubine.

Last year, when he was 14 years old, his mother and concubine mentioned that she would give him two maids by her side as servant girls.

The maid in the deep palace is the one who warms the bed next to the prince. If she is lucky enough to give birth to a boy, she will be promoted to the concubine.

Since it was the kindness of the mother and concubine, Huang Ye didn't refuse, but after accepting it, she just asked them to serve tea and water, and clean the palace, without favoring them.

What Huang Ye wants is not just the privacy of the bed, but a confidant who can talk about government secrets without hiding it, but unfortunately he has never met.

And when the daughter's family saw him, they all had expressions, first they were extremely surprised, then they were shy and bowed their heads in silence.Ask three questions, but can't answer a single word.

Huang Ye not only hated girls' coyness, but also wasn't used to their strong fragrance.He has practiced martial arts, strategy and tactics since he was a child, and he prefers generous and intelligent women, such as his mother and concubine.

It's been half a month since I went hunting, but I haven't seen a letter from my concubine. I don't know how the harem is doing?

Huang Ye doesn't think he is a dutiful son, but in terms of knowledge and ability, he has always been the pride of his mother and concubine.And in this palace where there are intrigues and deceptions that require constant vigilance, there is only one concubine, the mother, who can be relied on wholeheartedly.

Huang Ye's chess piece finally landed, and there was a crisp sound on the chessboard, and he picked up another piece, suddenly stunned.

Did he really hate that shy gesture like a little girl? ...Why when seeing Wei Qing's flushed face, there was a huge wave in my heart, blowing away my reason, and I was so impulsive?

"Slap!"

Where is Huang Ye playing chess? He is clearly angry with himself, and the crackling moves are almost all broken into pieces under his hands.

However, after a game of chess, he returned to normal, with an indifferent expression on his face, suppressing his emotions and sorrows in his heart.After calling the maid to take a bath and change clothes, Huang Ye greeted his father.

※※※

Huang Ye had dinner with the Emperor, General Zhao Guowei, Li Cheng and others, and after returning to the camp, it was already Xu time.During the banquet, the emperor asked him if he should recruit talents and select a few civil and military attendants?

"Civil and military attendants" refer to literary attendants and personal bodyguards. The former has no specific official position, and is responsible for reciting Fu, accompanying the prince.Although the latter's official position is not high, he can freely enter and leave the inner courtyard of the palace, and his status is higher than that of the Imperial Forest Army.

Don't look at these people's humble status, but after Huang Ye ascends the throne, they will all be siblings and powerful officials, and they are likely to rise to high positions.

General Zhao and Prime Minister Li took the opportunity to recommend more than a dozen people, and all of them were teenagers from Guozixue (private school for the children of senior officials).

Huang Ye also understands that the people who will be on duty next to him in the future must be descendants of officials, such as Qing Yun, who is the second son of the Tunqi Captain.

Although the imperial court has an imperial examination selection system, it is extremely rare for a high-ranking official who really climbed to the top and was born as a commoner.

Huang Ye knew that there was a commoner prime minister named Dong Wuqiu in the previous dynasty, who put forward a lot of cultural and political ideas, prospered Yan, and won the favor of the Supreme Emperor. Later, for some reason, he suddenly resigned from office and retired to the countryside. He did not know his life or death, and his whereabouts are still unknown. .

Perhaps it was General Zhao's eloquence that made Huang Ye think a little too far. When he came back to his senses, both General Zhao and Prime Minister Li were persuading him to make a decision earlier.

"It will take a lot of time for these teenagers to grow into His Highness' right and left arms." Prime Minister Li said so.

"I hope His Highness will decide as soon as possible." Zhao Guowei also said with a bow.

Huang Ye thanked the two important ministers for their kindness, and verbally selected a few teenagers. The official appointment will be decided after seeing them with their own eyes.

Regarding this, the emperor didn't have any objection, and after a while of refreshments, he let him go back.

In the sleeping tent, Huang Ye took off his outer robe and jade belt, and a eunuch in red came in holding a footbath. Now that he is a prince, he has to be served by the eunuchs of the inner palace.

In the old man's words, it would be impossible to hand over these tasks to vulgar boy servants.

"What's your name?" Huang Ye asked the eunuch kneeling on the ground.

"Slave Li Deyi, please greet His Highness the Crown Prince."

This father-in-law is about 30 years old, with a white face and thin eyebrows, and a smile in his eyes, revealing a cunning face like a white fox.

Perhaps most of the eunuchs are like this, good at flattering and full of servility.It's just that when Huang Ye thought of Wei Qing, who had been waiting for him to go to bed these days, those black and crystal clear eyes, looking forward to shining brightly, were clear and pure, and he couldn't help but reject Li Deyi in his heart.

"Your Highness, this old slave has undressed you!"

Li Deyi was originally an eunuch in the palace, serving the emperor in the early court, he couldn't change his high-pitched voice for a while, Huang Ye nodded, then raised his arms to let him take off his brocade clothes.

After washing and bathing his feet, Li Deyi went out, handed the copper basin to the little eunuch, and then stayed on duty outside the tent by himself.

"Call me if you have anything to do. The servant is outside." Li Deyi nodded and bowed.

"Yeah." Before he fell asleep, Huang Ye picked up a volume of military books and began to read.

Too many things have happened today, it seems like a year has passed, if there is a slight mistake in Concubine Yun's place, he, the crown prince, should be moved to heaven to be imprisoned.

"Wei Qing..." Huang Ye suddenly thought that since he came back, he hadn't seen him again, and if he was asked to go down, he really disappeared. No, he must have been hiding.

Judging from his jerky reaction, it was indeed the first time someone touched his private parts, and his body would become like that, so he must be quite frightened, right?

Huang Ye put down the tome that he hadn't read at all, lay down on the soft couch, and couldn't help thinking that Wei Qing might not dare to approach him again... Forget it, let him go!

Huang Ye sighed heavily, turned over and lay face down.

The tent curtain is embroidered with auspicious clouds, which are dark yellow at night, and at the bottom of the tent, a small black ball is reflected.

"Um?"

Huang Ye blew out the candle lamp beside him, and the moonlight outside made the black shadow even clearer. It was Wei Qing with his back arched and his hair tied in a bun.

Is he guarding there?Just like in the past, he knelt and sat on the edge of the soft couch, silent.

For some reason, the displeasure accumulated in Huang Ye's chest was swept away, and the corner of his mouth even evoked a slight smile, but he didn't ask Wei Qing to come in, but just lay there, looking at his squatting figure, until Overnight.

※※※

After the rooster crowed twice, Wei Qing woke up. It was still dark, and the air was filled with the smell of green grass on the river valley.

He straightened his arms and rubbed his sore and numb legs. Sleeping in the open behind the prince's tent was not a good feeling, but Wei Qing was very happy. Last night was very quiet and nothing happened.

Yesterday evening, Qing Yun asked him curiously, what did he do with His Highness?He's coming back with a change of clothes.

Wei Qing replied that there were assassins in ambush on the mountain road, and the crown prince killed them. He helped move the corpse, and the blood stained his clothes, so he bought clothes with the farmer before returning.

"I see." Qing Yun nodded, and said with a smile that Wei Qing was lucky to be protected by a prince with high martial arts skills.

"I don't want to either..." Wei Qing whispered, he doesn't know martial arts, and at a critical moment, he can only watch Huang Ye fight alone.

"When you grow up a bit, you will be able to learn martial arts." Qing Yun stroked Wei Qing's head affectionately. He looked like a bunny, very timid and cute.

"I'm old enough, I'm already nine years old." Wei Qing pushed Qing Yun's hand away dissatisfied, and suddenly thought of what the crown prince said when he was caressing him, "You should also have this experience."

—— Wei Qing's cheeks turned red all at once.

In the countryside, girls can marry at the age of 12. Of course, boys can only marry at the age of 14. Parents and elder brothers told them about this. As an orphan, Wei Qing didn't know this kind of thing.

When Huang Ye's body was tightly pressed against him, and something hot was grinding between his legs, that fiery feeling seemed to ignite his head, and his consciousness turned into a paste, unable to think about anything.

However, because the other party was Huang Ye, Wei Qing didn't feel disgusted at all.

"What's going on? Your face is so red?" Qing Yun noticed something was wrong with Wei Qing and asked.

"It's okay." Wei Qing turned his head.

"Speaking of which, we need to strengthen our vigilance tonight." Qing Yun didn't pursue it, but murmured that the prince ordered that Eunuch Zhang's remnant party might not give up yet, and wanted to launch a night attack.

"Oh my God!" Wei Qing jumped up in fright, "Then why don't you hurry up and go on patrol?"

"The prince has gone to the emperor's place. When he comes back, he will naturally step up his patrol." Qing Yun said.

Wei Qing was still worried, so he sneaked behind the prince's tent, thinking that although he didn't know martial arts, he could still do it to remind the prince, so he ignored Qing Yun's persuasion and insisted on guarding Behind the prince's couch.

But one night passed, and there was nothing suspicious. Qing Yun even visited him a few times and said he was such an idiot!

When the little eunuch came to change shifts and the sun had risen, Wei Qing left there to help in the dining room.

There are still many guests visiting today. Yesterday, a father-in-law handed over a sign, asking what time the officials from each family would come.

There are a total of ten wooden plaques on the table, and the maids and sisters are arranging them separately so that His Highness the Crown Prince can receive them one by one.

"this is……?"

Even if Wei Qing was illiterate, he knew how to write the three characters of King Ke's Mansion. Seeing that his original master's family was coming to visit, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous!

Because the untouchables in Guanwei are not qualified to serve the royal family, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"Xiaoqing, this is just ready, you can eat it." The maid handed Wei Qing a big bun with meat, knowing that he had worked hard all night.

"Thank you, sister." Wei Qing sat on the side with the bun, but he was thinking about the matter of the palace. If his identity was exposed, he would be sent back, and he... didn't want to leave His Royal Highness so soon.

※※※

As soon as Huang Ye finished his breakfast, Qing Yun came and said he had something important to report.One is that Eunuch Zhang bought a small boat near the river beach, and he probably fled to the other side overnight, and the emperor's soldiers and horses are hunting him down.

The second is that there are several noble young masters waiting outside the tent door, waiting to meet His Royal Highness and accept the civil and military assessment.

"It's really fast enough." I just told Zhao Guowei and the others last night that I will review the decisions one by one, and sent people here early this morning.

It can be seen that they have already made arrangements, and they want to put their cronies by his side.

"Then did you see? Or not?" Qing Yun asked with his head bowed.Because Huang Ye had to meet a group of officials today, he didn't have much time to deal with the kid.

"Let them wait outside the door first." Huang Ye took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "It's not me who is in a hurry."

"Yes." Qing Yun smiled and asked again, "There are three other princes who are waiting to see you. Look...?"

"Let's just say that I'm busy with what my father told me, choosing civil and military servants. I won't be idle. Let's go to another day." They came, and they just sent a lot of gifts and flattered them desperately. These days, the gold and silver that Huang Ye received The property is piled up like a mountain.

"Yes..." Qing Yun was about to go down, but Huang Ye stopped him, "Wait a minute."

"Which three princes are they?"

"Returning to Your Highness, it is Prince Lin of Xiangwang Mansion, and Prince Ke of Yongqing Mansion..."

"But Ke Xian?" Huang Ye put down the teacup and interrupted Qing Yun.

"It's him."

"...A quarter in the afternoon, let Lord Ke come to see me." Huang Ye pondered.

"Yes, I obey." Although Qing Yun didn't know why the prince saw Ke Xian alone?But Ke Xian is the manager of the Qiuxi Grand Ceremony this time, so calling him here is not surprising.

Huang Ye faced the chessboard again and played a few games before letting the group of noble young masters outside the door come in.There were eight people in total, the four recommended by Zhao Guowei wore blue silk shirts, and the four recommended by Prime Minister Li wore red silk robes.

Most of them are fifteen or six years old, and they entered Guozixue and Baiwutang at the age of four, regardless of the severe cold or heat, all year round, so it can be said that they have achieved something in their studies. In addition, they are all high-ranking officials. The heart is quite proud.

Hearing that the prince was of the same age as them, he looked down upon them a little, but when he came in, he saw the prince sitting beside the chessboard, dressed in a brocade robe with stone blue dragon pattern, a beaded belt, and black soap boots. , inevitably a little nervous.

What's more, the prince's face is so handsome, with phoenix eyes, red lips, and jade skin, like a fairy in a painting, it's really shocking!

However, when the prince lifted up those bottomless eyes that were as cold as ice, and scanned them from left to right, no one dared to look at him.

"Slave, slave, please refer to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! Thousands of years, thousand years, thousand years!"

The hearts of the teenagers froze suddenly, their knees couldn't stand straight anymore, and they knelt down on the ground one after another, saluting.

"Get up." Huang Ye said lightly, reached out and picked up a sunspot, and it landed on the jade chessboard with a thud.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" The teenagers no longer dare to belittle them. Is it true that the royal family has such an aura?Or is the prince special?People dare not look up, even his voice has a kind of awe-inspiring courage.

However, Huang Ye didn't particularly neglect these rich and well-dressed official young masters, he ordered someone to give him a seat and serve him tea.

Since they are all young people, there is no need to stick to big etiquette. Huang Ye asked them to report their families one by one, and also assessed their knowledge. They have indeed studied hard. Regardless of classics, history, policy theory, poetry and songs, they can answer in detail. .

Huang Ye was quite satisfied with this, but obviously the youngsters were even more surprised by the knowledge of the prince. The prince's questions were so broad and so profound that even their masters would be willing to bow down to them!

After chatting for half a day, when it was almost noon, Huang Ye asked them to play chess, and the winner would be considered a passer and could retire.

Naturally, the scribes were not a difficult problem, and the warriors blushed from holding back, saying that this topic was too difficult.

"Is it difficult?" Huang Ye chuckled lightly. This captivating smile made all the teenagers present blush. Coincidentally, Wei Qing was ordered to come in to refill tea and kowtowed. Just as he was about to go down, Huang Ye stopped him .

"Wei Qing, come down here."

"I……?"

"Bastard! How dare you call yourself "I" in front of the prince, you are just a slave, you should slap your mouth! Immediately, a boy in blue stood up and shouted loudly.

"sorry……"

"Come here, as long as you win, I won't punish you." Huang Ye stared at him and said.The warrior boy who could not be famous no matter what, he had to step aside with his hands down.

Wei Qing came to the chessboard hesitantly, not daring to sit down, holding his breath as he stared at the intertwined black and white chessboard, and found that the black pieces were attacking fiercely, and the white pieces had no more ground to grab.

"...Your Highness."

"You can play however you like, and you don't need to look at me."

"Yes..." Wei Qing nodded nervously, stretched out his hand to grab a few white stones, some people were snickering, looking at his gestures, one could tell that he was a young man who couldn't play chess.

However, only the clear and crisp sound of crackling could be heard, Wei Qing and Huang Ye fell extremely fast, after a few key white pieces were put down, the attack of Heizi weakened obviously, but Baizi continued to stick to the key point, pressing every step of the way, unexpectedly Attacking from left to right, although the tricks are a little messy, the effect is surprisingly good.

"Wonderful! It's amazing!" Someone clapped their hands and cheered!

"A draw." Huang Ye could already see the outcome without having to make the last move.

Everyone was very surprised, this handsome and young boy servant was able to fight against the prince on the chessboard, and even got a tie?Could it be a Go genius?

Wei Qing bit his lips lightly and didn't say anything, because he was just copying a game of chess played by the prince.

Although in the middle of the game, some moves were changed, but they were almost the same, so I just copied them and finished.

——Never forget, keep in mind.Such a complicated game of chess, after so many days, Wei Qing still remembered it so clearly, and it was a draw, Huang Ye knew that he was right.

Wei Qing is indeed a genius, talented, and has a strong memory. Even if he changes a few moves in the middle, he can master them and adapt to the situation. Huang Ye already has a conclusion in his mind who is the best in the assessment.

However, a tie is also punishable.

"Go down, kneel outside the tent for an hour, and then come in."

"Yes..." The ground outside the camp was hard and cold, even kneeling for half an hour would be choking.

But Wei Qing didn't dare to have the slightest objection, kowtowed and retreated outside the tent door, knelt silently as punishment.
