I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

Originally, I thought that I could talk to Mr. Ding'an after returning to Beijing, and talk about what I experienced along the way. Unexpectedly, when Yuan Yin went to eat and work, he only got Mr. Ding'an for a long time, and he never stayed behind. A letter of just a few words.

Because of the Fengzhou incident, many people were involved, and the court debate took quite a while. In the end, Yuan Yin ordered that Jiang Mian temporarily take over the post of commander of the Jing'an Army until a suitable candidate was found in the future. Do replace.

However, Zhou Haitang, who was greedy for ink, and the officials of the official kiln and salt department all ransacked their homes to subdue the law, and the money corrupted by ink was found from Zhou Haitang's home, which was as much as several million taels. The money given out was actually a quarter of the national treasury. The amount of greed was so large that all the courtiers were dumbfounded.

After nightfall in the Ganlu Palace, Yuan Yin sat cross-legged on the bed, and carefully looked at the scriptures collected by Xiaoluzi by the light.

What's interesting is that these story books not only have plots, but also paintings.The palace map is even more beautiful.The masculinity of the Wei Dynasty has been popular for many years, but it is the first time for Yuan Yin to understand the things in the house in such a detailed way.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside, let's take a rest earlier." Xiao Luzi stood by and looked at Yuan Yin's appearance of relishing the words, feeling a little worried.

Yuan Yin didn't pay attention to Xiao Luzi's words at all, and only focused on flipping through the scriptures in his hand, his face was flushed, his heart was restless, and even his legs were standing upright, which was extremely uncomfortable.

"Xiao Luzi, you said it's snowing outside?" Yuan Yin hurriedly closed the book, turned to look at Xiao Luzi beside him, and asked.

Looking at his flushed face, Xiao Luzi was very surprised at once, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty's face is so red, I'm afraid it's because of the wind and cold, this servant will call the imperial doctor here."

"Stop, I'm not sick." Yuan Yin called out quickly, but he didn't have the face to say that he was blushing from reading these scriptures, and reacted, he just took one side of the cloak and wrapped it around, stood up and walked out of the hall :

"I remember that it didn't snow last year, but now that it's snowing for the first time, I just went to have a look."

Yuan Yin didn't care about the exclamation of Xiao Luzi behind him, and walked out of the Ganlu Hall with his head held high, the coolness came to his face, this time, the anger in Yuan Yin's heart was extinguished a little, but it was still a drop in the bucket.

The fluffy snowflakes were falling profusely, Yuan Yin stood in front of the hall, reached out to catch the snowflakes, and looked sideways at Xiao Luzi who stood beside him with an anxious face: "What's the matter, I'm just looking at the snow."

"I'm afraid your Majesty will catch the wind and cold." Xiao Luzi said cautiously.

Yuan Yin watched Xuexu slowly disappear in his palm by light, and said with a smile: "I have learned from Xiao Qing, and I run around this Manna Palace ten times a day, and now I am also strong and strong, so I won't As fragile as ever."

What's more, he still intends to overwhelm Xiao Rong. If he doesn't strengthen his training, with Xiao Rong's physique, he might not be able to overwhelm him.

After all, he is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, the majestic king of a country, and a man who stands up to the sky. If he enjoys himself under others, he will make others laugh in the future, so he should be the one who overwhelms Xiao Rong.

Thinking this way in his heart, and looking at such a snowy scene, he felt a little sad, if only Xiao Rong was by his side at this moment, he would not have to be so lonely.

"Xiao Luzi, it's the end of the new year. It must be very lively here. Call Yuan Hao tomorrow and come out of the palace with me." Yuan Yin smiled and looked at Xiao Luzi with his hands behind his back, then went back to the dormitory and got under the quilt .

Now that the anger is gone, I can rest in peace.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the weather was gloomy, but there was no wind or rain. Because of the snow that fell overnight, the houses in the city were covered with a thick layer of snow.

And the aroma of this Laba porridge also came out from the back kitchens of each family, making people salivate. When Yuan Hao came to the capital this time, he was much more gloomy than before. Extra care.

Sitting at the stall on the street, Xiao Luzi and He Ting, the servant who served Yuan Hao, stood by, and Yuan Hao sat beside Yuan Yin, staring at Yuan Yin's side eyes and said: "Brother Huang treats my younger brother very well. Even the emperor's grandmother said so."

Yuan Yin looked back at Yuan Hao, rubbed his bun with a smile and said, "You are my younger brother, so I love you naturally."

"What about Cousin Xiao, after my brother came back to the capital, I found that Brother Huang and Cousin Xiao are very close, even better than my brother." Yuan Hao pouted dissatisfiedly, but his eyes still fell on Yuan Yin's face I want to engrave his image in my heart.

Yuan Yin was stopped by Yuan Hao's words, and couldn't help avoiding his sight and said: "Xiao Qing...it's different, he's different from Hao'er and you."

"Why is it different?" Yuan Hao asked: "You are Hao'er's imperial brother, and you are only a cousin with him. Besides, you are also a relative of the emperor's grandmother. The relationship with you is long gone. How can you kiss him?" As for me, Haoer does not follow me."

Looking at Yuan Hao's sleazy appearance, Yuan Yin felt that this kind of Yuan Hao was just like his age at this time, and he finally made up for the affection that had been lost for many years: "Hao'er, good boy, you will always be Royal brother's dearest younger brother, okay?"

Yuan Hao thought about it carefully, but turned his head with folded arms, but he saw Xiao Rong coming from the street, followed by a plainly dressed young man, Yuan Hao quickly turned around, and then moved to Yuan Yin's side Moved, and said coquettishly to Yuan Yin:

"Since the emperor said that I am the closest brother, then you hug me."

Yuan Yin smiled helplessly, reached out to hug Yuan Hao and patted his quilt, but when he looked up, he met Xiao Rong's slightly gloomy face.

Du Zhong, who was standing beside him, was carrying a lot of boxes in his hand, following his line of sight, he met Yuan Yin, and couldn't help but smile helplessly: "Brother Xiao, isn't that your cousin?"

"The medicines for women and children are almost ready for Wayao, brother Du might as well sit down and rest." Xiao Rong looked sideways at him and invited.

"No need, brother Xiao knows that I don't get along with these rich men the most, so I will borrow your servant to send these things back to Wayaoji." Du Zhong looked around, his hands were not empty and he couldn't greet Xiao Rong, With a helpless smile, he walked past Yuan Yin.

And Xiao Rong sat in front of Yuan Yin, saluted the two of them slightly: "It's really a coincidence that I can meet the two of you here."

"This Hao'er hasn't been back to Beijing for many years, thinking about today's Laba, the closer the Chinese New Year is, the more lively the city will be, so I took Hao'er around." Yuan Yin looked into Xiao Rong's deep eyes, hehe smile.

"Your Majesty has a lot of things to do every day, and now he has to take care of the county king. It's really hard." Xiao Rong still had a cold face, and his tone was as usual, but Yuan Yin always heard the slightest trace of jealousy.

As if he knew Xiao Rong had a sweetheart at the beginning, although his face was expressionless, he didn't say that.

"In addition to teaching me, Xiao Qing also goes to Wayaoji to diagnose the pulse of those old and weak, which is harder than mine." Yuan Yin pretended not to hear Xiao Rong's jealousy, and said to him with fists.

Xiao Rong nodded silently, and couldn't figure out why he became so clumsy. He used to be eloquent, and he was speechless when he confronted Yuan Yin several times, but now he was upside down. It's really annoying to teach him that he can't tell.

Seeing Xiao Rong's nodding his head in silence, Yuan Yin was really comfortable, and he didn't care about Yuan Hao beside him, so he moved to Xiao Rong's side and said, "Xiao Qing, I really don't understand. My son has no grievances or enmities, why does he not wait to see me so much, is it because you are close to me and he is unhappy?"

"He is a scholar who has failed several times, and he had disputes with the nobles of the family in the examination room. Since then, he has been unwilling to associate with these people." Xiao Rong poured hot tea and took a sip, then said slowly, picking himself clean , I don't want Yuan Yin to misunderstand anything.

"If that's the case, then why is he so friendly to you alone?" Yuan Yin asked still puzzled.

"Because I asked him for money." Xiao Rong stared at the water in the glass without squinting, and poured out the reason lightly.

"What? How can he have money as a failed scholar? I don't even know that Xiao Qing has time to do these things." Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong incredulously, just when he turned his head and met his eyes, Yuan Yin Only then did Yin look away.

Xiao Rong said: "It is precisely because he is a poor scholar, penniless, and unwilling to be helped by others. I want to help him, so I borrowed his silver and promised a time to pay back the money. He lives in the capital, and after a long time, he will make friends."

"So that's the case. No wonder I felt that he didn't want to see me since the first time I saw him. He thought I was showing off my family background to help them." Yuan Yin smiled instead of anger. Much happier, looking at Yuan Hao in front of him, then at the time:

"It's almost time for lunch, Xiao Qing might as well go and eat with us, I'm going to treat you."

Seeing Yuan Yin's bold appearance, Xiao Rong nodded his head as a response, and Yuan Hao also nodded frequently, rubbing against Yuan Yin's side, pulling him out of the small tea stand.

On the bustling street, Yuan Hao held Yuan Yin's hand affectionately, looked at Xiao Rong who was walking on the other side of Yuan Yin, felt extremely uncomfortable, and took Yuan Yin to his side: " Brother, I have a wider space here, you come over here, don't be tripped by others."

Seeing the distance between Xiao Rong and Yuan Yin widen, Yuan Hao felt happy, but Xiao Rong frowned.

Sure enough, after the king of Wuying County returned to Beijing, his position was in jeopardy, and now he couldn't walk in one place.

Xiao Rong walked as if nothing had happened, but after two or three steps, he came to Yuan Yin's side again, his hands were covered by the wide sleeves of his robe, and he secretly hooked Yuan Yin's little finger, only then was he satisfied.

Yuan Yin felt that the slight touch on his hand was very familiar, but in such a large crowd, he secretly raised his little finger in his sleeve, and he always felt a little itchy in his heart.

"Brother, do you think this food is really so good?" Yuan Hao leaned on Yuan Yin's body and asked intimately on purpose.

Xiao Rong's hand in the sleeve hooked Yuan Yin's ring finger again, Yuan Yin couldn't hide the smile on his face, so he nodded and smiled and said: "Yes, the taste is better than the imperial chef in the palace. Today's Laba, thinking about it They should also make Laba porridge, so I want to try it.”

"Since that's the case, let's go quickly." Yuan Hao looked at Xiao Rong who was standing next to Yuan Yin again, and couldn't help speeding up his pace, but Yuan Yin stopped in place and pulled Yuan Hao and said:

"Slow down, there are too many people, don't fall."

It's not that Yuan Yin didn't leave, but when Yuan Hao said he wanted to go faster, his hand fell into Xiao Rong's palm, wrapping it tightly, warming Yuan Yin's heart.

Yuan Hao stopped, looked at Xiao Rong with a little dissatisfaction, and walked beside Yuan Yin in a regular manner: "Brother, hurry up, I'm so hungry."

"Okay." Yuan Yin agreed, but his pace still didn't speed up.

Yuan Hao sighed, but he was also a little unwilling. He was Yuan Yin's dearest brother, and his position could not be taken away by others.

Because it is the Laba Festival, this Laba porridge is the most indispensable food for this festival, so it is even boiled in the restaurant, and each table will give a portion to the guests.

Still in the Green Bamboo Pavilion, the three of them sat around together, and a table of delicacies wafted into the air, mouth-watering.

"By the way, Xiao Qing, do you know where Mr. Ding'an has gone? I wrote to him recently, but he never replied to me or left a message. It's really strange." Yuan Yin stirred the Laba porridge in the bowl in front of him, Scooped a spoonful and blew.

Xiao Rong stared blankly, and then said: "Maybe it's because something happened at home, I may not have seen you for a long time."

"Well, if Mr. Ding'an is here, I still want shopkeeper Xiao to leave a bowl of this delicious Laba porridge for him. Unfortunately, he has no good food." Yuan Yin smiled helplessly, but Yuan Hao looked at it with a surprised face. :

"Brother Huang, who is Mr. Ding'an?"

Yuan Yin smiled and looked sideways, looked at the black bamboo screen in the green bamboo pavilion and said: "Here, the person who painted this painting is also your brother's friend."

"The one who can get into the eyes of the emperor must be a great talent." Yuan Hao smiled at Yuan Yin, and when he looked at Xiao Rong, the corners of his eyes were slightly smug.

Xiao Rong remained silent, just watching the two brothers in front of him quietly, everything that Yuan Hao did seemed to be for him to see, as if to show something, only Yuan Yin was the only one who naively thought that the younger brother in front of him was no different intentions.

"Xiao Qing, Duke Zhen is back?" Yuan Yin suddenly thought of something, and quickly raised his head to look at the person who was staring at him.

Xiao Rong lowered his eyes and said: "Never, but I came to the letter, but Zuo will be able to arrive in Beijing around the time of my childhood."

"Did you tell Lord Zhen Guo to bring his cousin Ziqi back?" Yuan Yin asked again.

Xiao Rong's breathing was slightly heavy, and he suddenly said: "Your Majesty, this bowl of porridge does not seem to be sweet."

Yuan Yin was taken aback and said quickly: "Why not sweet? We are all the same, ours are all sweet."

Seeing Yuan Yin's words being distracted, Xiao Rong secretly rejoiced, but moved to Yuan Yin's side, scooped up a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Yuan Yin's mouth, saying: "If you don't believe me, Your Majesty will try it."

Yuan Yin put the porridge in Xiao Rong's spoon into his mouth with half-belief and tasted it carefully. The sweetness was just right, not too greasy and not too light. He couldn't help looking at Xiao Rong strangely: "The porridge is sweet, Xiao Qing, don't make trouble."

Xiao Rong sat upright, then scooped up the porridge and put it into his mouth, nodded in satisfaction: "It's really sweet."

Yuan Yin watched Xiao Rong hold the spoon in his mouth and deliver the porridge to his mouth, and then praised the porridge for its sweetness, which made Yuan Yin's cheeks burn slightly, and even his expression was a little unnatural.

Seeing Xiao Rong's satisfied look, Yuan Hao rolled his eyes, pushed the porridge bowl in front of Yuan Yin, and said seriously: "Brother Huang, my porridge is bitter."

Xiao Rong's hands that scooped up the porridge paused, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, Yuan Yin naturally sensed Yuan Hao's intentions, looked at his big innocent eyes looking at him, couldn't help sighing, and scooped up a spoonful of porridge Handed to his mouth:

"Hey, brother, is it sweet?"

Yuan Hao chuckled, nodded after eating the porridge Yuan Yin fed him: "No wonder Cousin Xiao said it's sweet, it's really sweet."

Yuan Yin had no choice but to support his forehead, one was the one he wanted to marry home, and the other was his younger brother, he seemed to find a time to make it clear to Yuan Hao that he and Xiao Rong were different in his heart, one was his wife, One is the younger brother.

They are a family, they can't be so unruly, they have to live in peace!

As soon as the Laba is over, the New Year's flavor will gradually be felt. Cleaning up the dust and cleaning up the old, buying and preparing new year's goods will be done next, especially the shops in this west city have hung up red lanterns to welcome the new year.

Because Yuan Hao hadn't returned to the capital for many years, and had never been out of the palace to play even when he was in the capital, it was strangely nervous to look at the appearance in the capital now.

"He Ting, Xiao Luzi." Yuan Yin called out.

The attendants immediately saluted and said, "The servant is here."

"The king of the county seldom goes out of the palace, you have to take care of it, if there is a little mistake, you are the only ones to ask." Yuan Yin ordered with a serious expression, He Ting and Xiao Luzi saluted again, and followed Yuan Hao's pace.

Just as Yuan Yin took a step, this hand was held by Xiao Rong. Looking at the remote back alley, he got in and covered their bodies with the lush green bamboo growing outside the courtyard wall.

"It's really interesting that the majestic king of a country would go into the back alley with his courtiers." Yuan Yin leaned against the wall, cupped Xiao Rong's cheeks with both hands, and said jokingly.

Xiao Rong's breathing was slightly heavy, his palms rested on the wall, his body was tightly against Yuan Yin's body, and he leaned closer and whispered: "Your Majesty, do you have any ministers?"

As soon as Xiao Rong's voice fell, a slight man's exclaimed and gasping voice came from above his head, charming and tactful, it was actually more interesting than a woman's cry, Yuan Yin's cheeks were flushed, and he looked straight at Xiao Rong:

"Xiao Qing actually brought me to this kind of place."

Xiao Rong's complexion was also not very good, and he lowered his eyes to avoid Yuan Yin's sight and said, "I didn't know that this would be the back alley behind the small hall."

"Did Xiao Qing come by coincidence?" Yuan Yin still stared at Xiao Rong solemnly, and asked suspiciously.

At that moment, Yuan Yin suspected that his eyes were dazzled, he actually saw the reddish on Xiao Rong's cheeks, Yuan Yin was about to open his mouth to joke, but Xiao Rong moved close to his body and held his lips.

The gentle and gentle touch on the lips made Yuan Yin extremely flustered, especially when he heard the panting sound from the attic, it made him feel unbearable. It happened that Xiao Rong sent the lips on his own initiative, so naturally he would not miss it He opened his mouth to hold it in his mouth, and got entangled with Xiao Rong.

Yuan Yin reached out and hugged Xiao Rong tightly. Because of his current posture, it seemed that all the dominance was in Xiao Rong's hands, which made him a little uncomfortable. He kept talking, but he was fighting secretly, Yuan Yin hugged Holding Xiao Rong's waist, the leg embedded between his legs was exerting force, and he was about to make an earth-shaking event.

But he never thought that Xiao Rong was not moving at all, but hugged Yuan Yin even tighter.

"Well...Xiao...Qing..." Yuan Yin spat out two words in the kiss with difficulty, but Xiao Rong didn't respond at all, but the moment Yuan Yin opened his mouth, the clever tongue invaded, which hooked Yuan Yin's heart even more The fire was so strong that it almost melted my heart.

The body was rubbing and colliding due to the kiss, and suddenly, Yuan Yin only felt that Xiao Rong's body had reacted, and he couldn't help panicking, and quickly patted Xiao Rong's shoulder.

The lips parted, Yuan Yin breathed, Xiao Rong heaved his chest, but looked down at Yuan Yin's red and cold lips that had been kissed, and was about to lower his head to kiss again, but Yuan Yin blocked his lips, looking serious road:

"You and I are both men, so let me say something clearly. I am angry now, and I deserve to win or lose. You are the queen I want to marry. There are some things that you can do early or late. Knowing that you are also angry, why don't we find a place to settle it."

Xiao Rongyuan was moved, seeing Yuan Yin's serious invitation, his heart was itchy even more, and he nodded in agreement.

"Then we have to agree, you are the queen I want to marry, and you have to be below." Yuan Yin deliberately didn't look at Xiao Rong's affectionate eyes, turned his eyes away, and listened to the thumping sound in his heart, unexpectedly Some are surprised by their own words.

What is he doing?He was actually inviting his subjects to do that thing. Although he loves Xiao Rong and wants to marry him, it's too early to do it now...

"No, I'm not below." Xiao Rong took a deep breath, tried his best to restrain the thought of bringing Yuan Yin to justice on the spot, pinched his chin and looked directly into his eyes.

"I can't do it either. I am a majestic king of a country. How proper is it to be happy under others? You are a subject, so you should be below." Yuan Yin looked into Xiao Rong's eyes and said righteously.

Xiao Rong stared at Yuan Yin's eyes, and said for a long time: "Is it possible to negotiate?"

"Yes, you are below." Yuan Yin said firmly.

Xiao Rong looked at Yuan Yin's slightly swollen red lips, then stared at his eyes, and said firmly, "No."

"In this case, let's not do it." Yuan Yin turned his face coldly, and turned his face away from looking at Xiao Rong.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Rong touched Yuan Yin's cheek with his hand, but he blocked it with his hand. Yuan Yin stared at Xiao Rong and said:

"Needless to say, you are the queen I want to marry, so you should be clear about your position. It is impossible for me to be below."

Xiao Rong was silent with his eyes downcast, but his eyes were extraordinarily firm. He withdrew his hand on Yuan Yin, sighed lightly, and said: "Since this is the case, I will not back down. In a hurry, Your Majesty should go back to the palace with His Royal Highness the Duke."

Xiao Rong took a step back and stepped out of the way. Yuan Yin looked at Xiao Rong's eyes, the originally emotional sight slowly disappeared at this moment, and regained his calm, Yuan Yin clenched his fists unconsciously:

"I will overwhelm you, hum."

Yuan Yin glared at Xiao Rong with an imposing manner, turned around and walked out of the alley, but the voice of the boy on the attic became louder and louder, Yuan Yin couldn't help but stop when he heard it, but still didn't turn his head back left the back alley.

Xiao Rong looked at Yuan Yin's leaving back, closed his eyes and sighed softly, but a shrewdness flashed in his eyes, he stood in the back alley with his hands behind his back, staring at Yuan Yin's back that was getting farther and farther away.

The window on the attic was opened, and the disheveled young man with disheveled hair, leaned against the window, looked at Xiao Rong and said with a smile: "Master, why, he was abandoned by his sweetheart."

Xiao Rong glanced at the beautiful boy by the window, looked away, and walked out of the back alley.

The young man closed his clothes, and shouted at Xiao Rong's back: "Master, some of these people are duplicity, you might as well use it once or twice, just be good."

Xiao Rong ignored the young man's words. After all, he was reluctant to let him be strong against Yuan Yin. Those things should be done when two people are in love. Even if they want to sleep until Yuan Yin, it should be him Only willingly.

Willingly...

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Xiao Rong suddenly thought of something, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but it disappeared from his expression in a flash.

Then he walked up the street and walked towards the Duke of Zhen's mansion.

As the year goes on, the upward wind is a bit strange.

In the past, Yuan Yin paid special attention to Xiao Rong, so there were always some people in court who flattered him overtly and secretly, but recently, Yuan Yin was getting close to Xu Taiwei, and Xiao Rong, who is a doctor of imperial history, was also strange. Every day, he stood upright and stood upright without saying a word.

After the court was over, Prime Minister Wei Wei'an looked at Xiao Rong who walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace with him, and asked curiously: "What's the matter with Master Xiao recently?"

Xiao Rong glanced sideways at Wei Wei'an, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"It stands to reason that His Majesty and Lord Xiao should have gotten closer after this incident in Fengzhou. Besides, Lord Xiao has done a great job in saving him. It's really surprising why Lord Xiao lost his favor when he came back this time." Wei Wei'an stroked his beard gently, and couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Rong smiled and said nothing, after all, Yuan Yin's quarrel with him was just a dispute over who was superior and who was inferior, Yuan Yin was angry at all, but he was still determined to marry him, so Xiao Rong was extremely relieved.

"Prime Minister, whoever is favored by Your Majesty is a blessing. Even if you are not favored, you must do your duty well." Xiao Rong looked sideways at Wei Wei'an, thinking of Yuan Yin in his heart, so when he spoke A little gentle.

Wei Wei'an joked, "When will Master Xiao plan to get married?"

Xiao Rong was slightly stunned, slightly puzzled: "Where do you start with this?"

"Brother Xiao, we have been officials in the same dynasty for many years. No one knows that you Xiao Rong is a serious person. Even if you are a friend, you have never seen you talk so softly. If you say you don't have a sweetheart, no matter who I don't believe you, Mr. Xiao, will suddenly change your temper." Wei Wei'an patted Xiao Rong's shoulder lightly, and even his eyes became playful.

Xiao Rong nodded silently, as a tacit consent.

Xiao Rong's ancestors were originally from a famous family, and now the Duke of Zhen is also both civil and military. Not only has he won the title of champion, but he is still famous under the border tree, because his own sister was the crown prince at that time, and later the queen , so this status is more and more noble.

But besides being a dignitary, he was hated by others. Lord Zhen Guo had three sons. Except for the eldest son who remained in Beijing as an official, the other two sons were exiled officials with outstanding achievements.

Fortunately, these three sons were not pampered because of their prominent family backgrounds. They were all men who stood upright and knew how to advance and retreat. Zhen Guogong, it was precisely because he couldn't catch any mistakes, and his descendants also behaved uprightly, that's why he failed to succeed.

Because the second son and the third son are officials sent abroad, they can hardly reunite with their families throughout the year. Although Mrs. Zhen Guogong did not say anything, she still misses her very much.

Fortunately, when Xiao Rong was born, the wife of the Duke of Zhen was more relieved, she was more comfortable playing with her grandchildren, and when he grew up, the Duke of Zhen would teach him martial arts, but his wife especially treasured Xiao Rong, for fear that he would be cold Frozen and tired.

However, Xiao Rong is also considered smart, and he can read a thousand-character prose at the age of five, but Lord Zhen has other ideas. All three sons in his family have become civil servants, but the silver gun in his hand has no successors. Regardless of his wife's objection, he brought Xiao Rong into the barracks to hone his growth.

No matter how hard and tiring he was, Xiao Rong still never forgot to study, but at the age of eight, not to mention the four books and five classics, he even knew a little about the art of war when marching and fighting.

Duke Zhen was very pleased, thinking that the silver gun in his hand finally had an heir, so he cultivated it even more, but Xiao Rong said that what he wanted to do was to be a humerus minister like his father Xiao Yuzhang who could help the country. It is good to guard the border and fight for the country, but if the court is not clear, no matter how good the border is, it is useless.

It was the first time that Duke Zhen lost his temper at Xiao Rong, but Mrs. Nai He loved her grandson and protected him.

Therefore, although Xiao Rong has some military spirit on his body, his heart is as gentle as water, but he doesn't want his grandmother to die of illness when he was the county magistrate in Shanyuan County, because half a month later, he missed his grandmother's birthday During the funeral, Xiao Rong also felt guilty about this, and gradually became quieter after that.

In the imperial garden, Xiao Rong was wandering in the garden with the support of the Empress Dowager at the moment. Perhaps the Empress Dowager heard about the affairs of the court, so she called Xiao Rong before leaving the palace and let him come to the imperial garden. garden.

The imperial garden in winter is extraordinarily beautiful, unlike the blooming flowers in spring, it is completely covered in silver, and the snow falling on the rockery is extraordinarily interesting.

"The Ai family has also heard about the recent incidents, what do you think?" The Empress Dowager asked lovingly.

"What did Xu Shichen do wrong, which made His Majesty unhappy." Xiao Rong said respectfully.

The Empress Dowager stopped and looked sideways at the tall and upright young man beside her, with a loving look on her face: "There will always be some friction between brothers. When the Emperor was going to Fengzhou, he asked you to accompany him by name. Knowing that the emperor believes in you, besides how you have treated him in the past two years, he also knows that he has been confused in the past two days. You must not be confused. resentment."

"The empress dowager's teachings, I have written down." Xiao Rong still had a respectful attitude.

"You, you have been like this since you were a child. Unlike Xiao Yi, although the Ai family only saw him once, his mischievousness is unmatched by His Majesty. I heard that he made meritorious service at the beginning of the year?" Tai Huang The Queen Mother held Xiao Rong's hand and asked with some joy.

"Back to the Empress Dowager, yes, he led people to rob the Beiyi army and horses of food and grass, forcing the Beiyi army outside Yanyou City to retreat." Xiao Rong replied.

The Empress Dowager was very satisfied after hearing this: "Well, there is you in the court, besides your grandfather, there is another Xiao Yi on this border, well, my Xiao family is worthy of the emperor's grace."

"Yes, I received a letter from my grandfather yesterday. He and Ziqi are already on their way back to Beijing, and they arrived in the capital in just two days." Looking at the happy appearance of the Empress Dowager, even Xiao Rong became more and more nervous. Hair becomes gentle.

"It's okay, it's okay, wait for Xiao Yi to come back, and bring him to see Ai's family. Thinking about it, I haven't seen him for many years. He is only three years younger than you, and he is now an adult." The Empress Dowager and Xiao Rong Doing the chores, I don't feel tired anymore.

The two of them were walking, when they suddenly heard a laughing voice coming from the plum garden in front, which sounded a little familiar, the Empress Dowager paused slightly, looked at Xiao Rong beside him, he immediately understood, and with the Empress Dowager They walked to the plum garden together.

But as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw He Ting and Xiao Luzi guarding outside, while Yuan Yin and Yuan Hao, who had changed into court clothes, were walking under the plum tree, picking up the balls under the tree from time to time, and throwing them away.

"Brother Huang, you should let me go." Yuan Hao is really inferior to Yuan Yin, who is quick and agile. The only one who gets thrown by his snowball is to raise his sleeve to cover his face. Finally, he has the opportunity to throw the snowball Yuan Yin fell, but he dodged it lightly.

Yuan Yin smiled and continued to throw the snowball towards him, but he didn't want the snowball to scatter under the Empress Dowager's feet. The startled Yuan Yin immediately stood up straight.

Because Yuan Hao's back was facing the garden gate, he didn't know that the Empress Dowager was coming. He only knew that Yuan Yin stood up straight and didn't understand, so he saw the opportunity, rolled a snowball and threw it at his feet: "I also It can be thrown."

"An emperor, a county king, how decent is it to play around like this?" The Empress Dowager said with a slightly gloomy face.

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Yuan Yin hurriedly ran to hold her other arm and said, "Grandmother, the snow scene in the plum garden is just right, grandson may not be as happy as today for a long time."

The Empress Dowager looked at Yuan Yin's playful smiling face, and could no longer express any reproach. Seeing Yuan Hao who was bowing to her cautiously with downcast eyes, she personally pulled him in front of her:

"You too, how old are you, how can you beat your imperial brother."

"Grandmother, the emperor is the son of heaven, even if the grandson can win, he can't do that, let alone if he can't win at all, and the emperor loves the grandson, the grandson should love the emperor even more. As long as the emperor is happy, the grandson will be happy." I'm happy, it has nothing to do with winning or losing." Yuan Hao saw that the Empress Dowager never scolded him, he was relieved, glanced at Xiao Rong beside her, and said obediently.

Although he was curious about the things in the capital that day in Laba, he was thinking about Yuan Yin in his heart. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, apart from He Ting and Xiao Luzi, there was no shadow of Yuan Yin and Xiao Rong at all behind him.

Yuan Hao felt uncomfortable, thinking that Yuan Yin would be as close to Xiao Rong as he was with him, he was even more anxious, so he didn't leave, he just stood on the street, he refused to be persuaded by He Ting and Xiao Luzi Walk.

But after waiting for a while, he saw Yuan Yin coming out of an alley angrily, but after a long time, Xiao Rong also came out, Yuan Hao concluded that it was Xiao Rong who bullied his brother, but he couldn't help himself What does elder brother do, only when we meet today, those words satirize him.

The empress dowager only said that the older Yuan Hao was, the more sensible he became, but only Xiao Rong, looking into Yuan Hao's eyes, knew that what he said was for herself.

Xiao Rong suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart, which was not a taste. This Yuan Hao looked young, and his thoughts were ghostly, more ghostly than his elder brother. If this Yuan Hao stayed in the capital, he and Yuan Yin would have problems with each other. It has not been separated yet, I am afraid that there will be a lot of twists and turns in the end.

Therefore, Xiao Rong felt that he should do something.

Early the next morning, Yuan Yin accepted the courtier's homage to Shanhu, but seeing that the place where Xiao Rong should have been standing was now empty, he couldn't help being surprised. After asking, he found out that Xiao Rong had taken sick leave and was recuperating at home.

Yuan Yin spat in his heart, with Xiao Rong's body, the last time he suffered from the wind and cold was because he had stood outside the Ganlu Hall for an hour, and he hadn't suffered from any snow at the moment, so how could he call himself sick.

It's just because Yuan Yin ignored him for a few days, so he simply came to court at this moment.

This treacherous minister and thief, what a trick!

Although Yuan Yin thought so in his heart, he was still a little worried. He had a good time with Yuan Hao in Meiyuan yesterday, and Xiao Rong never went to see him off when he left the palace, so he wondered if Xiao Rong was jealous. What makes Xiao Xing'er not come to court?

The more Yuan Yin thought about it, the more worried he became. It should be very interesting to think about Xiao Rong's awkward appearance because he said he was sick.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Luzi called softly, and Yuan Yin quickly looked up at him:

"What's the matter?"

Xiao Luzi hastily handed the letterhead in his sleeve to Yuan Yin's hand: "The servant went out to eat for food when he left the palace today. Coincidentally, Mr. Ding'an's letter just came."

Yuan Yin quickly opened the envelope, looking at Mr. Ding'an's handwriting in his heart, Yuan Yin's heart felt more at ease, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Luzi, I will not sleep tomorrow, I will go out of the palace to town The Duke's mansion is visiting you, you will go out to the palace in a while and send the reply letter I wrote to Mr. Ding'an."

"The servant leads the decree." Xiao Luzi hurriedly saluted, then watched Yuan Yin spread out the paper with joy on his face, and wrote a letter with a pen.
