According to the rules of the Dayu Dynasty, the court will be closed for ten days from New Year's Eve, and the officials and their families will be reunited.On the day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor will set up an imperial banquet to entertain important ministers and new dignitaries to show the harmony between the monarch and his ministers.
It's just that in the past, the imperial banquet would naturally be held in the palace, or even in the royal garden, but since... the one who took power and did whatever he wanted, did not do it at all in the first two years, and no one else dared to mention it.
At least this year, he let go, but ignored the advice of the officials and set up the imperial banquet in the palace.
It's not nice to say something in private... The heart of disobedience can be seen.
Dragons and phoenixes danced on the big plaque of Prince Rui's mansion, just like Prince Rui himself.When Ah Yan helped Xie Yan get out of the car, the lights in front of the palace were brightly lit. Xie Yan hadn't seen so many people in a long time, his brows and eyes were slightly frowned, and he took two small steps back.
Seeing that he turned his head to get back into the car, Ah Yan hurriedly grabbed him: "My lord! What are you doing?"
"Go home..." Xie Yan hid behind the horse, sticking to the warm belly of the horse, as if afraid that others would see him.
Da Ma snorted and grunted to startle Xie Yan. Ah Yan took the opportunity to grab his sleeve and coaxed him: "Didn't you agree? You promised me. I will see the regent later. You just say that, and I will help you with the rest. When the matter is over, Ah Yan will buy you a whole basket of osmanthus cakes."
"And my lord, there are a lot of delicious food in the imperial banquet." As he spoke, Ah Yan casually listed several delicious foods that Xie Yan wanted to eat but hadn't had in the past two years.
Seeing Xie Yan biting his lower lip and resisting, Ah Yan pretended to be serious again: "My lord forgot, the most important thing to be a man is to keep your word!"
Xie Yan looked at him dubiously, recalling that he did agree in a daze in the morning, and after thinking about the delicious food, he kicked the stone under his feet in embarrassment, and nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Ah Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his red fox scarf, and led him into the mansion.
Many people saw the scene of Yanling Guards interrogating them at the street entrance, and now the rumors had already spread in. They went all the way in, and countless pairs of eyes were scratching their bodies. It was impossible to gouge out the skin of this beautiful Marquis Come down and see.
I don't know who said what, and there were a few laughs in the distance.
Xie Yan tugged at the corner of Ah Yan's sleeve and lowered his head all the way, but he didn't see it. Ah Yan angrily pulled him to the inside of the corridor, blocking most of his body.
The seats of the Lantern Festival have always been particular about, those who have the power and power to be favored sit in the front, and others who make up for the number sit in the back.Once the emperor and the courtiers, logically speaking, this kind of big scene has nothing to do with the Ping An Hou who has been out of favor for many years.
It was Ah Yan who sent Yinzi to the eunuch who was acquainted with him in the past, and said that the list of the imperial banquet was drafted by the Ministry of Rites, because it was the first Lantern Festival imperial banquet when the new emperor ascended the throne, and he planned to hold it extra lively and grand to show the emperor Well, so all the princes and nobles in Beijing are invited.
— but still nothing.
In the past, people in Beijing held Xie Yan just to see him being favored by the emperor and empress, but now the former emperor and the empress have left one after another.His adoptive father-in-law was involved in a major corruption case, and his house was ransacked and his head was beheaded. His adoptive mother, the eldest princess, was not implicated because she was a royal relative, but she was disheartened and went to Yuquan Temple to become a monk up.
Xie Yan's status became more and more embarrassing, like a disaster star, and it was too late for others to avoid him.
It would be fine if he was still as beautiful as he is, and many dudes are willing to raise him to play with, but many people have seen Xie Yan's pale face, lingering on the sick bed, and vomiting filth, and went to visit him They always walk with their noses covered.
The Marquis of Ping An's Mansion became a big joke in the capital overnight.
Now... no one can think of Xie Yan anymore, and the rich life of the past is naturally gone forever.
But Xie Yan never lived a hard life.
Before he was six years old, he was the eldest grandson of the emperor of Nanye Kingdom, and he was very delicate and precious.
Nanye is small and weak, bordering Dayu in the north, and surrounded by three or four barbarian tribes in the south.For a hundred years, they have been fighting endlessly with the barbarians. Although they are not incompatible with Dayu, they also have frequent frictions.
Years of emphasizing civility over military affairs has caused the current generation of Nanye emperors to suffer from accumulated disadvantages. The people suffered from wars, people's livelihoods withered, and soldiers and horses became more and more exhausted.He had long intended to have a truce with Dayu Chao Zhige.
Dayu was also well aware of the reason why lips were dead and teeth were cold, so he pushed the boat along the water, and on the condition of ten years of mining rights for silver, copper and iron mines in Nanye, and with one of the royal family's descendants as a hostage, he borrowed troops from Nanye to help Nanye resist the foreign people in Nanman.
Therefore, Xie Yan, the eldest grandson of Nanye and the only son of the crown prince, went to Beijing at the age of six to sign a contract with Zhizhan, in exchange for ten years of peace in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in exchange for the people of Nanye to recuperate.
However, the sky failed as people wished. Two years later, a plague swept through Nanye, and the foreign tribes from the south took the opportunity to invade.The blood of the Nanye royal family was already withered, and due to natural and man-made disasters, when the reinforcements from Dayu arrived, the Nanye royal family was almost wiped out due to the plague. The crown prince defended the city with illness and died for the country.
Xie Yan who was in Dayu became Nan Ye's last bit of blood.
After Dayu raised his troops to drive out the foreign tribes in Nanye, how to deal with the situation in Nanye became a headache for the court.
Logically speaking, since Xie Yan is still alive, he should return to Nanye and become king.But how can the emperor lie on the side of the couch to allow others to sleep soundly, not to mention that Nanye is rich in ore, if Xie Yan is really ambitious in the future, it may not be impossible to revive the country's prestige.
Really let Xie Yan go back, the emperor is uneasy, and Dayu is uneasy!
But let's not put it back, Dayu has ruled the country with propriety since ancient times, if he overbearingly takes over a family, he is not as good as a pig or a dog, and if he takes over a country by force, it will be embarrassing in history.
When the ministers were worried, Xiao Xieyan met the emperor overnight and knelt outside the palace overnight. He said that he was greatly favored by His Majesty and did not want to return to the old land. What you want.
An eight-year-old child said such words, this "filial piety" is enough to move the world.
The emperor didn't show it on the face, but he was relieved in his heart, and immediately sealed him as a safe haven and gave him a golden sedan chair in the imperial garden.Who else has to study hard and strive to make progress, he, Xie Yan, won a Marquis for nothing with just a few kind words, who wouldn't be envious?
In this way, the land of Nanye merged into Dayu.
Perhaps it was due to the inexplicable guilt towards Xie Yan, the emperor loved him so much, even if he caused some trouble, as long as he entered the palace and acted like a baby, the big and small things would be resolved.
Therefore, Xie Yan has always been the most unrestrained and comfortable when he grows up to this age.
Ah Yan was originally the son of the Nanye Crown Prince's family. The Crown Princess saw that he was clever and sensible, and asked him to accompany the little emperor's grandson to serve her side. Later, when the Nanye Kingdom was destroyed and Ah Yan's family was gone, she stayed with Xie Yan all the time. In Dayu.
With Xie Yan's illness, the Hou Mansion lost its backbone, and there were many people who came to make trouble, but few who gave charcoal in a timely manner.Ah Yan was young at the time and didn't know how to run a family. The servants ran away and secretly sold the valuables in the house. He couldn't chase them back, so he just watched others bully them and cried in anger.
In the past two years, Ah Yan has gradually grown up, and he is much more tactful, knowing how to get along with these bastards in Beijing who watch people order food.Even though the family was in a plummet and the money was getting worse day by day, he took the few remaining servants to save money on food and clothing, and took good care of Xie Yan.
But no matter how frugal the Hou Mansion is, it is not an ordinary family after all, and it costs a lot of money to manage everywhere, and Xie Yan also needs to take medicine on weekdays.
According to the rules, all the lords have a yearly salary, and Xie Yan is a Marquis, so the yearly salary should be quite high, enough for their master and servants to live in peace and security.But in fact, the yearly salary of Ping'an Marquis has not been issued for several years...
Ah Yan wanted to find someone to reason with, but hit a wall everywhere.
Almost all the good things in the house have been stolen and sold in the past few years, and the rest are gifts from the imperial court. If they are sold on the market, they will be punished. Ah Yan had the courage to sell them once before, but the black market water is too big. Deep, he has no connections, and was almost thrown into prison by Immortal Jump.
If he was arrested, Xie Yan would have no one to take care of him. Ah Yan was afraid when he thought about it, and he didn't dare to sell him, so he could only pawn off those insignificant gadgets one after another.
If this continues, Xie Yan will have to be like their servants, eating dry rice and pickling vegetables together.
Such a character of Yuye Jinke, Ah Yan is not willing to let him suffer such hardships.
And the food is nothing more than the food, but the young master's medicine can't be stopped.
Ah Yan heard that this year's Lantern Festival Royal Banquet is very grand, with many guests, and they are all under the watchful eye of the Ministry of Rites.
He moved his mind, and hugged a pair of Jihong glaze pinched golden spring vases in the mansion, and a snow fox fur without a single hair. In Ah Yan's hands, he can only show it off, so why not give it away as a favor, begging grandpa to tell grandma to put Xie Yan's name on the list of the Lantern Festival Royal Banquet.
He didn't ask for anything, but he hoped that the regent could see their young master, recall the old love of studying in the imperial study together when they were young, and say a few words.
Ah Yan also knows a little about Pei Jun and Xie Yan's festivities, but no matter how volatile Pei Jun is, he still wants to save face, and he won't beat and kill Xie Yan in public. It is better to eat cold rice during the festival.
Anyway, Xie Yan's mind is in chaos now, and he doesn't even understand what the word "humiliating" means.
Thinking of this, Ah Yan gritted his teeth, and dragged Xie Yan into Qianmei Hall where the banquet was held.
——To put it bluntly, they are two masters and servants, and they came here to ask for Suilu.
Qianmei Hall is wide and wide, with a high platform on the top, a big chair paved with bright yellow silk and satin in the center, which is the little emperor's throne; the lower left head is slightly lower, and another big chair made of ebony wood is placed. It should be the Regent.
Ah Yan held Xie Yan's hand, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, found his own seat and sat down in silence, and it was easy to find, right behind, by the door, the cold wind was blowing in, and the front was cloudy. A group of heads, only the leg of the regent's chair can be seen from a distance.
There is nothing to complain about, Ah Yan is already content with being able to enter this hall.
At this time, the guests have almost arrived, and the cups and cups of melons and fruits are placed on the table in front of them.
Xie Yan had been dragged up by Ah Yan to tidy up since noon, and he had measured three or four sets of clothes alone, so he was already hungry by now.He sat there staring blankly at the things on the table, and smelled a rich and sweet smell from the tip of his nose, which came from a hollowed-out round wooden box, so he stretched out his hand.
Ah Yan went to the side to talk to someone, it was the little eunuch who helped him inquire about the news, with a smile on his face, he secretly stuffed money into the little eunuch's cuff.
One missed, Xie Yan opened the wooden box, pinched a jujube-colored ball in the box, and put it in his mouth.
"..." A contemptuous laugh sounded, "Just outside, I heard them say that Xie Yan is here, I still think it's Xie Yan..."
Xie Yan turned his head and looked over in confusion. It was a man in a royal blue robe, leaning on the table next to him, looking at him with his head tilted.Xie Yan didn't understand why he wanted to look at him, thought he wanted to eat too, so he pushed the wooden box in front of him.
The man glanced at it and said softly, "You have to chew this ball harder, the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes, like sugar."
Xie Yan believed it to be true, and bit the fragrant ball in his mouth in one bite, but it was not sweet, but very bitter, so he frowned.
Seeing his expression like this, the other party hilariously said, "Hahahaha, look at him, he is really an idiot!" Behind him were surrounded by several young men, all dressed in gold and silver. , also laughed together.
Xie Yan didn't know what was so funny, he looked down at the box of "Meatball Candy", pursed his lips, wondering why it smelled so sweet but tasted so bitter.
"Xie Yan, you said you are not ashamed—"
Before he finished speaking, Baolan Clothes saw that he was sullen and quietly ignoring others. Although his ruddy robe was a little old, it was clean, and there was no trace of dirt or stupidity, and he was ridiculed. I don't care, and I don't feel ashamed.
In contrast, they look like fools.
Five years ago, Xie Yan ignored the few of them, and when he looked at people, his expression was always condescending, as if he was the only one who was aloof and arrogant, and the others were all dwarf onions in the mud.Stupid now, or so.
The leader's expression turned cold in an instant, and he pushed his shoulder: "Xie Yan, do you still think that you are some kind of grandson of Nanye, a glorious Tanhua Lang? In the past, hiding in the house and being a tortoise would be fine. Forget it, today you came out by yourself, but no one can protect you!"
It is always the most interesting to see the beauties being dusted and the talents being defiled.
He grabbed the few remaining fragrant balls, roughly pinched Xie Yan's jaw, and was about to stuff it into Xie Yan's mouth. When Ah Yan heard the commotion here, he ran back quickly in fright, and punched the dude hard. Tweet: "Presumptuous, what are you doing!"
Xie Yan used to be really unrestrained in his actions. He could not be too enthusiastic about the people he liked, but he didn't even bother to give a smile to the people he didn't like.So no less offending people.
Ah Yan looked familiar in the sapphire blue clothes, but after all, five years have passed, and the former young man has grown up, so he didn't recognize his enemy for a while.
This is also the reason why Ah Yan never let Xie Yan go out in the past few years.
There are too many people who want to see his jokes, Ah Yan is weak and can't protect him, but he doesn't want others to bully him for nothing.Just play in his own garden, where to play left and right, to Xie Yan at this time, it's all the same.
Ah Yan didn't have time to delve into the matter of this dude, he turned his head to look at Xie Yan, saw that his brows were tightly frowned, and saw that there were no balls in the incense box, he immediately understood what was going on, hurriedly poured a glass of water, and reached out to his face Front: "Master, this is for incense, it cannot be eaten, spit it out!"
Xie Yan also tasted the bitterness, and obediently spit out the fragrant pill that had been crushed into several petals into Ah Yan's palm, rinsed a few mouthfuls of water to dilute the bitterness, and said, "Well, it's not a good thing."
The sapphire blue clothes sat down according to the number, slapped the table angrily, and raised his hand angrily: "Xie Yan, you—"
A Yan closed his eyes in fright, and instinctively blocked Xie Yan.
But the imaginary slap failed to fall, and he heard the originally bustling hall suddenly quiet down, leaving only a slight rustling sound. Ah Yan secretly opened his eyes and saw that the sapphire blue dress was shrinking his neck He arched his waist and arched his hands towards him, with a look of fear on his face.
Everyone else is pretty much the same.
It is impossible to salute him, Ah Yan was confused for a moment, and realized something after a while, and hurriedly looked in the direction of everyone's worship——
In a moment of shock, the Regent is here!
The back of his neck trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed Xie Yan, telling him to stand up and salute.
Xie Yan was sitting peacefully, but he didn't expect that Ah Yan would suddenly pull him up. He was pulled up staggeringly, causing the table to sway with a clatter, and the melons and fruits on the table rolled down.Xie Yan stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't grab the fruit, and he didn't stand firm. He swayed a few times, lost his center of gravity, opened his eyes slightly, and threw himself forward——
He fell over and propped his hands on the floor, kneeling in front of Pei Jun who had just entered the palace gate.
Plop!
Commander Ji Shuxian followed behind the regent, and the moment someone jumped out, the Yanling Saber was half out of its sheath, but he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xie Yan.He took a peek at Pei Jun, but didn't see him getting angry, the knife was half drawn, and Ji Shuxian pressed it back abruptly.
Ah Yan gasped, and immediately wanted to thank Xie Yan, but his feet were frozen by the regent's cold eyes.
People from Nanye have always had a beautiful figure, Xie Yan is naturally unavoidable, he was tall early, he was taller than his peers at Tanhuayan five years ago, he was very enviable, at that time, the Fifth Prince also came to him Eyebrow.
But now that the situation has turned sharply, Pei Jun has long been born out of the bones of a teenager. He is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his temperament has also changed greatly.
It is said that he suffered a lot of wind, sand, frost and snow in the northern border. Ah Yan didn't know what he had experienced, but he felt that people would change so much in just five years.That withdrawn and reticent young man back then is now a vicious and fierce evil star, his eyebrows and eyes are especially sharp, full of killing spirit acquired from years of marching.
The fifth prince is really different from before.
He regretted it for a while, thinking that he brought Xie Yan here tonight, did he make a mistake?
Pei Jun's eyes probably meant to swallow Xie Yan alive.
Glancing at Pei Jun, and seeing the little emperor in a little dragon robe beside the regent, Ah Yan didn't dare to make any mistakes, hesitating and wondering whether he should go forward, so he could only call out in a low voice: "My lord , Young Master, get up quickly!"
Xie Yan's knees hurt from knocking, he couldn't stand up all of a sudden, and fell back to his seat.Because his forehead was bumped red on the floor and his skin was scratched, he moaned twice, raised his hand to cover it, and his eyes were instantly clouded with mist.
Pei Jun recognized him, didn't move, and looked at him coldly.
The person in front of him was sitting on the floor rubbing his knees, his clothes fell apart, and the lovely red fox scarf fell aside, revealing a long and flawless white neck.There were a few red marks on the thin pointed chin, as if it had been pinched by someone.
Pei Jun frowned even deeper.
He picked up the red fox scarf that had fallen by his feet, and the sleeves slid over Xie Yan's cheeks. He quietly looked at the person in front of him, and said calmly: "Xie Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, but there is no need to show such a big gift. "
Xie Yan looked up at him, the broken forehead hurt even more, it seemed to hurt from the outside, and it seemed to hurt from the inside, like a needle prick, he stared at Pei Jun for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand.
Pei Jun looked down at the hand in front of him, not knowing why.
In the silence, someone murmured: "What is he doing sitting there, waiting for the regent to pull him up himself? Does he not want his hand anymore?"
Pei Jun vaguely heard it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This hand is slender and thin, and the nails are round and neatly trimmed. It would be a pity if it is really so unnecessary.
Pei Jun smiled, and raised his hand towards him like a gift.
Who wanted to raise his hand halfway, Xie Yan looked forward at the right time, and grabbed the red fox scarf in his hand.
Pei Jun already had strong hands, so he didn't rush at the first move, and tentatively raised his eyelashes to take a sneak peek. Before Pei Jun could react, he pulled hard with both hands, tucked the scarf into his arms, and then gave birth to his feet. Like the wind, he ran into the crowd and hid behind Ah Yan.
After a while, he poked out half of his eyes to look at him, to see if he came to chase after him.Seeing that he was there, he lowered his head vigilantly and carefully checked whether there was any hair missing on the scarf.
This is his favorite scarf.
Pei Jun: "..."
So Xie Yan stretched out his hand just now, not to ask someone to help or hug him, but to ask Pei Jun to return his fur scarf.
If the hall was just silent just now, it can be called dead silence now.
After five years, just after meeting, Xie Yan humiliated the majestic Regent Pei Jun once again.Ah Yan thought to himself, it's over, there is no old love left, only new hatred, and don't expect to be able to get a salary in this life.
"..." Ji Shuxian stared at him dumbfounded, and after a while, burst out laughing.

Thanks to the little angels who threw mines: 173580185;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
It's just that in the past, the imperial banquet would naturally be held in the palace, or even in the royal garden, but since... the one who took power and did whatever he wanted, did not do it at all in the first two years, and no one else dared to mention it.

You just say that, and I will help you with the rest. When the matter is over, Ah Yan will buy you a whole basket of osmanthus cakes."
"And my lord, there are a lot of delicious food in the imperial banquet." As he spoke, Ah Yan casually listed several delicious foods that Xie Yan wanted to eat but hadn't had in the past two years.
Seeing Xie Yan biting his lower lip and resisting, Ah Yan pretended to be serious again: "My lord forgot, the most important thing to be a man is to keep your word!"
Xie Yan looked at him dubiously, recalling that he did agree in a daze in the morning, and after thinking about the delicious food, he kicked the stone under his feet in embarrassment, and nodded solemnly: "Okay."
Ah Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his red fox scarf, and led him into the mansion.
Many people saw the scene of Yanling Guards interrogating them at the street entrance, and now the rumors had already spread in. They went all the way in, and countless pairs of eyes were scratching their bodies. It was impossible to gouge out the skin of this beautiful Marquis Come down and see.

His adoptive mother, the eldest princess, was not implicated because she was a royal relative, but she was disheartened and went to Yuquan Temple to become a monk up.
Xie Yan's status became more and more embarrassing, like a disaster star, and it was too late for others to avoid him.
It would be fine if he was still as beautiful as he is, and many dudes are willing to raise him to play with, but many people have seen Xie Yan's pale face, lingering on the sick bed, and vomiting filth, and went to visit him They always walk with their noses covered.
The Marquis of Ping An's Mansion became a big joke in the capital overnight.
Now... no one can think of Xie Yan anymore, and the rich life of the past is naturally gone forever.
But Xie Yan never lived a hard life.
Before he was six years old, he was the eldest grandson of the emperor of Nanye Kingdom, and he was very delicate and precious.
Nanye is small and weak, bordering Dayu in the north, and surrounded by three or four barbarian tribes in the south.For a hundred years, they have been fighting endlessly with the barbarians. Although they are not incompatible with Dayu, they also have frequent frictions.
Years of emphasizing civility over military affairs has caused the current generation of Nanye emperors to suffer from accumulated disadvantages. The people suffered from wars, people's livelihoods withered, and soldiers and horses became more and more exhausted.He had long intended to have a truce with Dayu Chao Zhige.
Dayu was also well aware of the reason why lips were dead and teeth were cold, so he pushed the boat along the water, and on the condition of ten years of mining rights for silver, copper and iron mines in Nanye, and with one of the royal family's descendants as a hostage, he borrowed troops from Nanye to help Nanye resist the foreign people in Nanman.
Therefore, Xie Yan, the eldest grandson of Nanye and the only son of the crown prince, went to Beijing at the age of six to sign a contract with Zhizhan, in exchange for ten years of peace in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and in exchange for the people of Nanye to recuperate.

He moved his mind, and hugged a pair of Jihong glaze pinched golden spring vases in the mansion, and a snow fox fur without a single hair. In Ah Yan's hands, he can only show it off, so why not give it away as a favor, begging grandpa to tell grandma to put Xie Yan's name on the list of the Lantern Festival Royal Banquet.
He didn't ask for anything, but he hoped that the regent could see their young master, recall the old love of studying in the imperial study together when they were young, and say a few words.
Ah Yan also knows a little about Pei Jun and Xie Yan's festivities, but no matter how volatile Pei Jun is, he still wants to save face, and he won't beat and kill Xie Yan in public. It is better to eat cold rice during the festival.
Anyway, Xie Yan's mind is in chaos now, and he doesn't even understand what the word "humiliating" means.
Thinking of this, Ah Yan gritted his teeth, and dragged Xie Yan into Qianmei Hall where the banquet was held.
——To put it bluntly, they are two masters and servants, and they came here to ask for Suilu.
Qianmei Hall is wide and wide, with a high platform on the top, a big chair paved with bright yellow silk and satin in the center, which is the little emperor's throne; the lower left head is slightly lower, and another big chair made of ebony wood is placed. It should be the Regent.
Ah Yan held Xie Yan's hand, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, found his own seat and sat down in silence, and it was easy to find, right behind, by the door, the cold wind was blowing in, and the front was cloudy. A group of heads, only the leg of the regent's chair can be seen from a distance.
There is nothing to complain about, Ah Yan is already content with being able to enter this hall.
At this time, the guests have almost arrived, and the cups and cups of melons and fruits are placed on the table in front of them.
Xie Yan had been dragged up by Ah Yan to tidy up since noon, and he had measured three or four sets of clothes alone, so he was already hungry by now.He sat there staring blankly at the things on the table, and smelled a rich and sweet smell from the tip of his nose, which came from a hollowed-out round wooden box, so he stretched out his hand.
Ah Yan went to the side to talk to someone, it was the little eunuch who helped him inquire about the news, with a smile on his face, he secretly stuffed money into the little eunuch's cuff.
One missed, Xie Yan opened the wooden box, pinched a jujube-colored ball in the box, and put it in his mouth.
"..." A contemptuous laugh sounded, "Just outside, I heard them say that Xie Yan is here, I still think it's Xie Yan..."
Xie Yan turned his head and looked over in confusion. It was a man in a royal blue robe, leaning on the table next to him, looking at him with his head tilted.Xie Yan didn't understand why he wanted to look at him, thought he wanted to eat too, so he pushed the wooden box in front of him.
The man glanced at it and said softly, "You have to chew this ball harder, the more you chew it, the sweeter it becomes, like sugar."
Xie Yan believed it to be true, and bit the fragrant ball in his mouth in one bite, but it was not sweet, but very bitter, so he frowned.
Seeing his expression like this, the other party hilariously said, "Hahahaha, look at him, he is really an idiot!" Behind him were surrounded by several young men, all dressed in gold and silver. , also laughed together.
Xie Yan didn't know what was so funny, he looked down at the box of "Meatball Candy", pursed his lips, wondering why it smelled so sweet but tasted so bitter.
"Xie Yan, you said you are not ashamed—"
Before he finished speaking, Baolan Clothes saw that he was sullen and quietly ignoring others. Although his ruddy robe was a little old, it was clean, and there was no trace of dirt or stupidity, and he was ridiculed. I don't care, and I don't feel ashamed.
In contrast, they look like fools.
Five years ago, Xie Yan ignored the few of them, and when he looked at people, his expression was always condescending, as if he was the only one who was aloof and arrogant, and the others were all dwarf onions in the mud.Stupid now, or so.
The leader's expression turned cold in an instant, and he pushed his shoulder: "Xie Yan, do you still think that you are some kind of grandson of Nanye, a glorious Tanhua Lang? In the past, hiding in the house and being a tortoise would be fine. Forget it, today you came out by yourself, but no one can protect you!"
It is always the most interesting to see the beauties being dusted and the talents being defiled.
He grabbed the few remaining fragrant balls, roughly pinched Xie Yan's jaw, and was about to stuff it into Xie Yan's mouth. When Ah Yan heard the commotion here, he ran back quickly in fright, and punched the dude hard. Tweet: "Presumptuous, what are you doing!"
Xie Yan used to be really unrestrained in his actions. He could not be too enthusiastic about the people he liked, but he didn't even bother to give a smile to the people he didn't like.So no less offending people.
Ah Yan looked familiar in the sapphire blue clothes, but after all, five years have passed, and the former young man has grown up, so he didn't recognize his enemy for a while.
This is also the reason why Ah Yan never let Xie Yan go out in the past few years.
There are too many people who want to see his jokes, Ah Yan is weak and can't protect him, but he doesn't want others to bully him for nothing.Just play in his own garden, where to play left and right, to Xie Yan at this time, it's all the same.
Ah Yan didn't have time to delve into the matter of this dude, he turned his head to look at Xie Yan, saw that his brows were tightly frowned, and saw that there were no balls in the incense box, he immediately understood what was going on, hurriedly poured a glass of water, and reached out to his face Front: "Master, this is for incense, it cannot be eaten, spit it out!"
Xie Yan also tasted the bitterness, and obediently spit out the fragrant pill that had been crushed into several petals into Ah Yan's palm, rinsed a few mouthfuls of water to dilute the bitterness, and said, "Well, it's not a good thing."
The sapphire blue clothes sat down according to the number, slapped the table angrily, and raised his hand angrily: "Xie Yan, you—"
A Yan closed his eyes in fright, and instinctively blocked Xie Yan.
But the imaginary slap failed to fall, and he heard the originally bustling hall suddenly quiet down, leaving only a slight rustling sound. Ah Yan secretly opened his eyes and saw that the sapphire blue dress was shrinking his neck He arched his waist and arched his hands towards him, with a look of fear on his face.
Everyone else is pretty much the same.
It is impossible to salute him, Ah Yan was confused for a moment, and realized something after a while, and hurriedly looked in the direction of everyone's worship——
In a moment of shock, the Regent is here!
The back of his neck trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed Xie Yan, telling him to stand up and salute.
Xie Yan was sitting peacefully, but he didn't expect that Ah Yan would suddenly pull him up. He was pulled up staggeringly, causing the table to sway with a clatter, and the melons and fruits on the table rolled down.Xie Yan stretched out his hand to grab it, but he didn't grab the fruit, and he didn't stand firm. He swayed a few times, lost his center of gravity, opened his eyes slightly, and threw himself forward——
He fell over and propped his hands on the floor, kneeling in front of Pei Jun who had just entered the palace gate.
Plop!
Commander Ji Shuxian followed behind the regent, and the moment someone jumped out, the Yanling Saber was half out of its sheath, but he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Xie Yan.He took a peek at Pei Jun, but didn't see him getting angry, the knife was half drawn, and Ji Shuxian pressed it back abruptly.
Ah Yan gasped, and immediately wanted to thank Xie Yan, but his feet were frozen by the regent's cold eyes.
People from Nanye have always had a beautiful figure, Xie Yan is naturally unavoidable, he was tall early, he was taller than his peers at Tanhuayan five years ago, he was very enviable, at that time, the Fifth Prince also came to him Eyebrow.
But now that the situation has turned sharply, Pei Jun has long been born out of the bones of a teenager. He is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and his temperament has also changed greatly.
It is said that he suffered a lot of wind, sand, frost and snow in the northern border. Ah Yan didn't know what he had experienced, but he felt that people would change so much in just five years.That withdrawn and reticent young man back then is now a vicious and fierce evil star, his eyebrows and eyes are especially sharp, full of killing spirit acquired from years of marching.
The fifth prince is really different from before.
He regretted it for a while, thinking that he brought Xie Yan here tonight, did he make a mistake?
Pei Jun's eyes probably meant to swallow Xie Yan alive.
Glancing at Pei Jun, and seeing the little emperor in a little dragon robe beside the regent, Ah Yan didn't dare to make any mistakes, hesitating and wondering whether he should go forward, so he could only call out in a low voice: "My lord , Young Master, get up quickly!"
Xie Yan's knees hurt from knocking, he couldn't stand up all of a sudden, and fell back to his seat.Because his forehead was bumped red on the floor and his skin was scratched, he moaned twice, raised his hand to cover it, and his eyes were instantly clouded with mist.
Pei Jun recognized him, didn't move, and looked at him coldly.
The person in front of him was sitting on the floor rubbing his knees, his clothes fell apart, and the lovely red fox scarf fell aside, revealing a long and flawless white neck.There were a few red marks on the thin pointed chin, as if it had been pinched by someone.
Pei Jun frowned even deeper.
He picked up the red fox scarf that had fallen by his feet, and the sleeves slid over Xie Yan's cheeks. He quietly looked at the person in front of him, and said calmly: "Xie Yan, I haven't seen you for many years, but there is no need to show such a big gift. "
Xie Yan looked up at him, the broken forehead hurt even more, it seemed to hurt from the outside, and it seemed to hurt from the inside, like a needle prick, he stared at Pei Jun for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand.
Pei Jun looked down at the hand in front of him, not knowing why.
In the silence, someone murmured: "What is he doing sitting there, waiting for the regent to pull him up himself? Does he not want his hand anymore?"
Pei Jun vaguely heard it, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
This hand is slender and thin, and the nails are round and neatly trimmed. It would be a pity if it is really so unnecessary.
Pei Jun smiled, and raised his hand towards him like a gift.
Who wanted to raise his hand halfway, Xie Yan looked forward at the right time, and grabbed the red fox scarf in his hand.
Pei Jun already had strong hands, so he didn't rush at the first move, and tentatively raised his eyelashes to take a sneak peek. Before Pei Jun could react, he pulled hard with both hands, tucked the scarf into his arms, and then gave birth to his feet. Like the wind, he ran into the crowd and hid behind Ah Yan.
After a while, he poked out half of his eyes to look at him, to see if he came to chase after him.Seeing that he was there, he lowered his head vigilantly and carefully checked whether there was any hair missing on the scarf.
This is his favorite scarf.
Pei Jun: "..."
So Xie Yan stretched out his hand just now, not to ask someone to help or hug him, but to ask Pei Jun to return his fur scarf.
If the hall was just silent just now, it can be called dead silence now.
After five years, just after meeting, Xie Yan humiliated the majestic Regent Pei Jun once again.Ah Yan thought to himself, it's over, there is no old love left, only new hatred, and don't expect to be able to get a salary in this life.
"..." Ji Shuxian stared at him dumbfounded, and after a while, burst out laughing.
