Chu Lang

Compared with the gentle November in Jinling, the winter in Chang'an is full of sharp edges and corners.The north wind was blowing along the outside of the pass, and it didn't lose its vigor when it got inside the city. Every ray of air carried a biting chill, and it was like a knife on the face.Yesterday seemed to be a warm autumn day, but overnight, it was winter.

The emperor probably intended to delegate power to the crown prince, and he gave Xie Changge a lot of advice these days, which made Xie Changge complain all day long and miserable.He simply stayed in the side hall of Qingsi Hall last night and did not go back to his bedroom.

Waking up early in the morning, Chu Yue ordered Qingsong to make some ginseng soup.

"What do you want to do with the soup?" Qingsong asked.

Chu Yue said: "I'll send it to the old man later."

Qingsong was puzzled: "Your Highness, didn't you say you had some headaches a few days ago? Send ginseng soup to the prince, and I will do the same."

Chu Yue shook her head: "This time I have to go in person."

A few days ago, Chu Yue ordered Mo Zhu to investigate Baijiao, and Mo Zhu lived up to his expectations and carefully checked Baijiao's life experience, and by the way, thoroughly checked the confidantes who had names around Xie Changge.When Chu Yue saw the materials Mo Zhu brought, she let out a long sigh.He knew very well that Baijiao was just an ordinary young lady in the Qin Tower, just one of the men and women who came and went around Xie Changge, and it didn't hold much weight in Xie Changge's heart, let alone splash a little water.

His enemy has never been Baijiao.

The crux of the problem has always been Xie Changge.

One leaf blinds the eyes, but Mount Tai cannot be seen.Chu Yue thought she was special, but now it seems that she is just deceiving herself.

But it's done, Chu Yue has already entered the East Palace, and many things have become out of control.He wanted to give Xie Changge a chance. If Xie Changge was willing to calm down and honestly raise the case with him, he would not worry about some things.

After all, he really loves Xie Changge.

At noon, Chu Yue put on a fox-fur cloak, and took Qingsong, who was carrying a food box, to Qingxin Hall.The Qingxin Palace is on duty today is a young eunuch, about the same age as Qingsong, but which one who can work beside the prince is not a good fox?

Seeing Chu Yue approaching, the little eunuch first saluted in a hurry, then smiled and said to Chu Yue: "His Royal Highness just finished his lunch and is taking a nap in the side hall. Why don't servants bring the ginseng soup in for you? Wait until His Royal Highness wakes up." How about presenting it to him?"

"No need, Your Highness has been busy with political affairs these days and rarely comes to the harem, and I haven't gotten along well with His Highness for some time." Chu Yue only spoke half of the sentence, but the little eunuch's exquisite heart naturally understood Chu Yue's intentions. I understand it thoroughly, today the princess will see the prince no matter what.

The little eunuch was in trouble, and after lunch, His Highness the Crown Prince announced Master Baiqin. Half an hour passed, and no one came out. He knew the Crown Prince's flair well, and he would absolutely not dare to let the Crown Princess in.But the crown prince valued the crown princess after all, and he had ordered before that if the crown princess came, there was no need to pass it on.

Chu Yue felt like a bright mirror in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and asked pretendingly puzzled: "Why? But what's wrong?"

"How could it be? His Highness the Crown Prince has ordered that the entire Eastern Palace Crown Princess can come in and out at will. Your Highness, please." The little eunuch weighed for a moment, then put his smile back on his face, as if the momentary hesitation was just Chu Yue's illusion .

Xie Changge was buried in the pile of books all day long, and he had to go to Chu Yue's place to accompany him at night. Chu Yue knew at a glance that if Xie Changge wanted to see Baijiao, he would definitely rest at noon, but he never thought that he would arrest him as soon as he came It's right.

When Chu Yue stepped into the East Side Hall, Xie Changge and Baijiao were sitting by the desk in front of the window. Xie Changge's eyes were reddish, while Baijiao's clothes were messy. The two looked at each other, not knowing what they were doing.

Chu Yue came to Xie Changge's place after being prepared enough in her heart, but she never thought that she would still feel uncomfortable seeing the scene of Xie Changge being intimate with other people.He secretly pinched the palm of his hand with his nails, and the pain spread from the palm of his hand to his whole body, which made him feel less painful in his heart.

He pretended to be calm, and opened his mouth: "I thought His Highness would work hard in reviewing papers, so I specially brought ginseng soup for His Highness, but I didn't expect it to come at the wrong time."

Hearing Chu Yue's voice, Xie Changge was agitated, subconsciously pushed Baijiao aside and said, "Baijiao, you go back first."

The moment Baizi and Chu Yue met, Chu Yue smelled a faint fragrance of flowers.Xie Changge left the palace half a month ago, and when he came back, he also carried this scent of flowers on his body.It turned out to be to see him.

Xie Changge didn't know what Chu Yue was thinking, got up and walked in front of Chu Yue, and explained in a panic: "Zi Yu, don't think about it, this is a new luthier in the palace, named Baijiao, and he can play the pipa well. Just now I Bewitched by the dust, Baijiao is just blowing my eyes." At the end, he added: "It's true, Ziyu, I didn't lie to you." Then he supported Chu Yue and let him sit by the desk.

Chu Yue looked at Xie Changge, just smiled and didn't speak.

"Ziyu, are you angry?" Xie Changge asked cautiously.

After a while, Chu Yue finally said slowly, "That's right, I'm inconvenient now, and I can't serve His Royal Highness well. It's okay to have one more person to help."

Xie Changge is not stupid, of course he knew that what Chu Yue said was angry, and he repeatedly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong, Ziyu. I will never bring anyone into the palace again next time. Baijiao has no relatives in Chang'an, and has no one to rely on." Yes, he has been with me for so long before, and I brought him into the palace because of a moment of pity. I was his benefactor before, and I was afraid that you would be offended if you found out, so I never told you If you don't like him, I will let him leave the palace tomorrow, give him some money, and let him go back to his hometown to do some small business, and he shouldn't suffer."

"He's been with you for so long... That's right, he came first, and I lost from the beginning." Chu Yue said calmly.

Xie Changge hastily explained again: "From the very beginning, I have always only had you in my heart, now and in the future. Why did he come first and you later? How can you explain the relationship with first come first?" After that, he repeatedly promised himself In the future, I will never take anyone back to the East Palace casually.

Seeing that he was so sincere, Chu Yue stopped fighting with him, and said to him, "So, I don't care how many people you have had before, I just hope that in the future you will have only me in your heart."

Unlike Tang Zhong, Chu Yue is not a straight-forward personality. When he speaks, he will take into consideration a lot, and sometimes he just stops at the end of the sentence, and stops talking.For example, at this moment, he never expected that the key point of his words was "a person", but Xie Changge heard that the key point was "heart", so he nodded like smashing garlic: "Zi Yu, you can rest assured, I will definitely I won't fall in love with anyone but you."

He thought that Xie Changge understood what he meant and gave him a guarantee, so he didn't bother with the matter too much, and after serving the ginseng soup to Xie Changge, he said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Xie Changge tugged at his sleeve, and asked cautiously, "Ziyu, are you really not angry anymore?"

Chu Yue's voice regained its previous warmth, and said softly, "So, when did I ever lie to you?"

"I'm really busy these days. When I'm done, I'll definitely accompany you and Linyuan well. The Chinese New Year is coming, and when the New Year's day comes, I will ask Father and Emperor for instructions before taking you to the Lishan Palace." Xie Changge said .

Chu Yue covered her mouth with a chuckle: "There is still one and a half months until the Spring Festival, you are quite far away."

"It's only a month and a half away."

Chu Yue stopped arguing with him and left Qingsi Hall after chatting for a few words.

As soon as she walked outside the hall, Chu Yue saw a plain white standing at the door.

Bai Jiao hugged his pipa, walked quickly to Chu Yue, and knelt down: "My servant was sold to Qinlou by my parents since I was a child, and I really don't know where to live after leaving Qinlou, so I begged His Highness to allow my servant Enter the palace. Her Highness Crown Princess Wanwang, don't create a quarrel with His Highness the Crown Prince because of this."

"If you don't want to, no matter how much you beg him, he won't bring you into the palace. In the end, it's still his fault. Get up." Chu Yue said.

Bai Jiao looked Chu Yue's bloated figure up and down, and hesitated to speak.

"Speak up if you have anything to say." Chu Yue was too lazy to talk nonsense with him.

Baijiao hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I don't dare."

"But it's okay to talk, anyway, you can't stay in this palace anymore, if you don't talk now, you won't have a chance in the future." Chu Yue said.

Only then did Baijiao speak: "Your Highness, you are from Nanzhao and you are a man. In the future, Your Highness...you will inevitably have to go out of the Sangong and Sixth Court. If you are like today, rushing out one by one, I'm afraid you won't be able to finish ... and, when the time comes, His Highness will inevitably feel that you are jealous, and have separated from you."

Chu Yue smiled lightly: "That's really troublesome for you. Although Chu has no talents, he can still figure out some things. If the young master has nothing else to do, Chu will go back first."

"What is his name Baijiao? Isn't it good to call him Bailian? It is really a white lotus in prosperity. His words are so harsh, yet you are still so polite to him, Your Highness." On the way back, Qingsong complained in a low voice.

Chu Yue said: "Then what should I do? Scold him, or use my status to suppress him? But Qingsong, if I do this, how is it different from those concubines in the emperor's harem who are fighting for favor?"

How could he not have thought about what Baijiao said?As a man, his heart is in the world, but now he is willing to stay in the deep palace for Xie Changge, which has broken his wings. Besides, men are extremely possessive creatures, so how could he be willing to share his lover with others? ?Chu Yue had already thought about it, if one day Xie Changge had the idea of ​​setting up a side room, he would definitely leave here on his own initiative.

Originally staying in Beili to get married was for the people of Nanzhao to live a stable life all the time, but after she gave away her pure heart, Chu Yue no longer cared about the people of Li.If the beloved has two hearts, how can he allow himself to live in suffering every day for the sake of the people?

People, after all, are selfish.
