There is a dragon in the backyard of the palace

The old prince of Prince Jin's mansion passed away.

The old prince is a brother of the same mother as the late emperor, and the uncle of the current emperor, and he is the closest relative to the emperor.In this whole world, when it comes to both wealth and honor, except for the Holy One, if he takes second place, no one would dare to take the first place.Speaking of which, the old prince is not too old, and his body has always been strong. A few days ago, people in Beijing saw the old prince going to the palace banquet in a sedan chair. He will go there in a few days. A pity on the road.

The only one who doesn't feel pity is the old prince's eldest son, the young prince.

There are quite a few princes in the capital, at least a dozen or so sons, but he is the only one who is called "little prince" without a title in the capital.Not only because of his particularly distinguished status, but also because he is the only son of the old prince of the Jin Palace, and he is the oldest among the princes and sons in the capital, and he is considered the number one person.

It stands to reason that a person like the old prince should have a group of concubines, and it is not surprising that he has ten or eight sons.But the actual situation is that although this old prince has a special status, he has some unspeakable hobbies. There are not many concubines in the mansion, and after giving birth to such a son, he will never have sex with the princess again.

This little prince has been spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and has never been restrained.When he grew up, he became the number one playboy in Beijing.All day long, Jie and a group of prodigal children will do everything they can, hulu and pheasants, cockfights and horses, whoring and staying with prostitutes.The old prince saw that although this kid was not very successful, he just liked to play after all, and he couldn't make any big troubles.What's more, his family was originally the emperor's clan, with their own hereditary throne, and he didn't expect this kid to be the champion, so he usually didn't talk about him deeply, but occasionally met him, and would give him a look to express his dissatisfaction.

The little prince is not like those cowards who are afraid of Lao Tzu, but he has never been afraid of the old prince.He knew that the old man had only one son for him, and he didn't want to work hard to create a second one. As long as he didn't commit suicide and cause a big mess, the old prince would not touch him no matter what.But the old man was always staring at him when he had nothing to do, which made the little prince very unhappy. The old man was much more ridiculous than him, how could he have any position to stare at him?

The little prince thought he was in the way, and now that he died, he died just right.

Although the young prince doesn't admire his old man very much, the funeral ceremony still has to be done in a splendid manner.In front of outsiders, I do have to shed a few tears.The little prince was really busy for several days, until the old prince was buried, the guests were sent away, and the tears were wiped away, before he had time to take stock of the property in the mansion.

The big and small shops in central Beijing, farms in the suburbs, etc. are all on the surface, and the account books are clearly written. For the time being, there is no need to bother too much, just look at the account books at the end of the year to calculate each item.As for gold and silver property and the like, they are all stored in the treasury, and all the outbound and inbound are registered in the register. Although it is necessary to check whether there are any mistakes or omissions, this is a troublesome job, and there is no rush.

What the little prince is really interested in is the "inheritance" that the old prince hid in the back garden.

In the past 20 years, the older the old prince, the more eccentric his behavior was. He always had secret talks with a few guests in the study room, and often went to a small room in the back garden by himself, staying for most of the day.The small room was locked all the year round, the old prince never allowed his servants to approach, especially the women in the back house were not allowed to approach half a step.Even the little prince, his own son, once ran around there and tried to take a peek, and was severely beaten by him.The more he forbade people to look at it, the more curious the little prince became. However, he went to look around there a few times while the old prince was not at home, but he didn't see any clues, so he had to let it go.

The old prince never went to that room empty-handed, and every time he had people prepare food and drinks and brought them in himself.From this, the people in the palace probably knew that there might be someone living there.It's just that the man never came out, and no one has seen him.

The absurdity of the old prince is well known to everyone, and some rumors spread among the servants in the mansion, saying that the person who lives there is a young lady who the old prince paid out of his wallet, and he is so beautiful and unparalleled in the world.The old prince spent a lot of money to hire the young man, and he refused to let the second person see his appearance.So it's a pity to keep him here, not even to see the sun.

Some old servants who have stayed in the palace for a long time know more things. When they hear this legend, they shake their heads and say that the man in the room is not a young man. In fact, he is a son of a good family, and even a famous scholar. The prince likes it. She is beautiful, deliberately befriended him, tricked him to the palace, put a lock on the door, locked him here, and never let him out - this is really a crime.All the old servants in the mansion knew that when the man was first locked in the room, he was restless every day and kept making noises, but then there was no movement, maybe he had resigned to his fate.

These two theories are not the same, but no matter which one it is, it probably confirms that there is indeed a stunning man living in the locked room.However, it has been about 20 years since the door was locked. It can be expected that no matter how stunning that person was back then, he is probably over forty now, and he should be an old man.

The little prince knows his old man's virtues, and he knows that people's guesses may not be far from the truth.The young prince also vaguely knew a lot about the absurd things the old man did, and often scolded him in his heart for being old and unscrupulous, but since the old prince didn't care about his business, he didn't care about the old man's business either.According to him, their father and son are doing their own thing without interfering with each other.

But now that he's dead, it's the young prince's turn to take charge, so he has to decide whether the man in the backyard will stay or not.

Although the little prince is a dude, his heart is not bad at all.I plan to see if the man is really forced to stay here, then he will pay him some money and let him go, which is also a matter of virtue; Having lived with his father for more than twenty years, at least he should prepare a yard for him, at least let him see the sunshine.

The little prince was walking towards the backyard swinging the brass key he took out from the old prince, when he suddenly remembered that his old man had been dead for a few days, and no one brought food to the man for the past few days. I went to the kitchen and asked someone to cook a bowl of wontons, put them in a food box and carried them away.

The little prince usually does all nonsense, but today he did a good deed by chance, and he was very proud.He arrived at the small room in the backyard, took out the copper key and unlocked it, opened the door and looked inside——

This room is not like the comfortable nest that the little prince originally imagined, there is no table, no chairs, no bed and no couch.There were only a few futons scattered on the ground, and a torn straw mat was spread on the ground, on which... a green dragon was curled up.

That's right, it's a dragon, a living, real blue dragon.Hearing the sound of the door opening, the green dragon lazily opened his eyes, and glanced towards the little prince.

Qinglong's eyes are like lightning, piercing the little prince's heart, if that gaze is real, he will definitely poke a hole in the little prince's chest.The little prince instinctively stepped back, quickly closed the door, and the food box in his hand fell to the ground.

Here...how could there be a dragon?

The little prince thought he was dazzled, he collected himself, lowered his head and opened the food box to see that the wonton soup inside hadn't been spilled yet, so he took another deep breath and opened the door again to go in.

This time it was not a dragon in front of him, the man in the green shirt lay on the broken straw mat and looked at him, when the two eyes met, the little prince was startled:

I didn't expect him to be so young and so... good-looking.

This man has been imprisoned here for more than [-] years. According to the young prince's guess, he should be of the same generation as the old prince. However, although this man's hair is disheveled and his clothes are disheveled, his hair is black and shiny, and his face has a few wrinkles. No, he didn't look old at all, he looked like he was in his early thirties at most.Perhaps because of not seeing the light all year round, that skin is actually a little tenderer than the little prince's.He hadn't eaten for several days, but his face was not sick, and his two red lips were so bright that they seemed to be dripping blood.

Everything in this dilapidated woodshed was dark and gloomy, only the man had a rare bright color, which made people's eyes hurt. The little prince stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and saw that the man was still looking at him.

The man's gaze was very cold, like an icy spring, like a cold pool, as if if he was not careful, he would sink into it, and he would not be able to get out.

Seeing his face, many doubts in the little prince's heart were easily resolved.No wonder the old prince never let people approach this room. No matter what kind of person, seeing such a beautiful man, they will probably be overwhelmed by him.

Even though the young prince had always disliked men, when he saw this man, he was speechless, standing motionless at the door, not even thinking of closing the door.

There was no expression on the man's face at all, and he didn't salute when he saw the young prince, he just asked:

"Is that old ghost dead?"

No one else came here, the little prince thought, the "old ghost" he was talking about must be referring to the old prince.Although the young prince often called the old prince an old bastard in secret, he had never said such outrageous words in front of others.It is really surprising that this person is so unrestrained and rude in the palace.Judging by his attitude, it is probably not considered respectful in front of the old prince. It is really hard to imagine what kind of situation he will be in when they are alone with the old prince.

The little prince nodded:

"My father has been dead for three days, and now I am in charge of the mansion."

The little prince saw that his expression froze, and after a while, he seemed to finally understand the meaning of the little prince's words, the frozen expression gradually loosened, the corners of the bright red lips raised, and the cold pool-like eyes seemed to have appeared. temperature.

He smiled, showing his white teeth.

This is not an ordinary smile, from which the little prince felt a gnashing of hatred.He saw the man's beautiful face become distorted and ferocious, and the irrational madness appeared in the eyes like cold springs.

Despite this, his face still looked beautiful, which made the little prince feel a moment of fear, and he took two steps back.

This person has already gone crazy.He thought to himself, no matter who is locked up in this kind of place for 20 years, he must go crazy.There's nothing to say to a madman...although he's so pretty.

Although he thought so in his heart, he didn't leave, he still stood at the door and looked at the man.

That person didn't seem to notice him at all, just continued to laugh, until the end of the laugh, the hatred and madness disappeared, even the laughter disappeared, leaving only the corners of his mouth upturned, the little prince seemed to hear the person saying:

"This is really the sky has eyes..."

The voice of this sentence was very low and soft, like a sob, the little prince vaguely saw something shining in his eyes.

The little prince felt that he should not stay here anymore, and should not watch such a scene.But it doesn't seem good to just leave like this, and it doesn't seem right.He didn't know what to do, he was a little panicked.

But the person in front of him seemed to have returned to normal soon, he sat up straight, and looked at the little prince again.The madness in those eyes had disappeared, the little prince couldn't distinguish his emotions, his eyes were so indifferent, the little prince had never been seen like this before, he felt as if he was going to be frozen by that person's eyes.

The man looked at him for a while, then tilted his head slightly:

"So it's between the two of us. What do you want to do with me?"

The author has something to say:

Dragon attack, the little prince suffers.
