Ice Beauty Emperor Master Manual
Chapter 23 Prison robbery and reconciliation [3 in 1]
Rong Yue didn't understand why, so he started to fight, his expression turned cold, and he frowned and said, "Your Highness, please calm down."
He stretched out his hand to pull Yu Ke's hand away, but Yu Ke pulled Chu Tang behind him with force, and his voice was like ice: "Guhe Guoshi has something to say, let's take a step first." After finishing speaking, Turn around and leave.
Rong Yue was left blank, watching Yu Ke pull Chu Tang away, his eyes sank slightly.
Chu Tang looked back at him and shook his head slightly.
Yu Ke's strength is not too heavy, it won't hurt Chu Tang, but he can't break free easily.
Li Yuansheng and others followed tremblingly.All the way to Zichen Palace.The boy's steps were not long, as if he was accommodating the injured person behind him.
Chu Tang looked at the back of Yu Ke's head, and suddenly found that Yu Ke had grown up again, almost surpassing his ears.
Chu Tang is not short, with a slender body of 1.8 meters and a clean temperament, he stands out from the crowd of tall men in the entertainment industry.
But Yu Bei's people seem to be quite tall.Yu Ke hasn't passed puberty yet, so it's still a long time to come.
Wrist tightened.Chu Tang regained his senses and looked at the boy.
The boy's handsome face was full of anger, and his face sank like water: "Brother."
"Hmm." Chu Tang followed the good advice and dealt with it with ease, "Didn't your Highness think that I have the intention of setting up another master, so you don't want to see me?"
Yu Ke froze for a moment, and said stiffly: "Where do I have it?"
Chu Tang sat down and didn't speak.
Yu Ke quietly looked at his expression, he was calm and unwavering, as usual, he couldn't see anything.
Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived at this time.
Yu Ke watched the imperial physician examine Chu Tang, and when he saw that the bandage was stained red, his eyes sank again.
Chu Tang knew Yu Ke's expression without looking, and sighed slightly in his heart. He was about to win back just now, and now the balance is about to tip over again.
The imperial doctor changed the medicine and said: "The wound is bleeding a little, just stop it. The national teacher's body is in good shape, and he is nourished by His Royal Highness's tonic. It must be healed soon. Be careful not to get angry in the future."
It seems that he took Chu Tang's cough as anger.
After hearing this, Yu Ke pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay."
After the imperial doctor left, the two remained relatively silent.Chu Tang was thinking about how to tell Yu Ke that he was not angry—the kid was still angry with him, wouldn't he be even angrier when he heard the imperial doctor say that he was angry?
But seeing Yu Ke clenched his fingers, turned around and left without saying a word.
Yue Rong came in with her head down, saluted and said: "Report to the national teacher, Mr. Xu is back."
Chu Tang froze for a moment, then remembered that she was talking about Xu Yi, and said, "Let him in."
Yue Rong said: "The maidservant just said that Mr. Xu said that it is good for him to guard outside."
Xu Yi has always done things safely.Chu Tang wanted him to come in and ask him where he had been these few days, but when he heard her words, he nodded and said, "That's fine."
He looked at the guards outside the window.Except for the personal servants, almost all the maids and eunuchs in the palace are unfamiliar faces.It can be seen that Yu Ke washed the people in the palace.
Bitterness wafted in.Chu Tang looked up and saw Yu Ke came in again, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, followed by Li Yuansheng.
"Go down." Yu Ke said.
Yue Rong immediately said: "Yes."
Li Yuansheng didn't dare to look too much, he put the things in his hands on the table and bowed to leave.
There were only the two of them left in the cella.
Chu Tang's eyes dimmed, and it was Yu Ke who sat down beside the bed, holding a porcelain spoon in his hand, slowly stirring the medicine in the bowl.
"I'll do it myself." Chu Tang stretched out his hand to take the bowl.
But Yu Ke avoided his hand, and fed it to his mouth, his tone was a bit cold: "Drink."
After Chu Tang had a meal, he still let the child feed him spoonful after spoonful.
Seeing Chu Tang drink the medicine obediently, Yu Ke's expression eased a lot, he put the bowl aside, and said, "Brother and Rong Zuo Xiangguo really have a good understanding. He is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden, and you just happened to go there today."
Chu Tang said: "We are in the palace together, how can we never see each other?"
Yu Ke said again: "But my brother has been in Zichen Palace for the past few days, and he never took the initiative to find me."
He also knew that Chu Tang had been in Zichen Palace these days.
Chu Tang said: "If Your Highness wants to see me, just come directly. I am always waiting for you."
Back and forth, soldiers come and stop.
Yu Ke snorted: "I'm afraid my brother is always looking forward to leaving here."
"How could it be?" Chu Tang said, "It's a great honor to have His Highness take care of you."
Yu Ke glanced at him, then suddenly changed direction and sat with his back to Chu Tang, like a child sulking, he said in a muffled voice, "Chu Tang."
"Your Highness." Chu Tang replied.
The boy's anger comes and goes quickly.Hearing Chu Tang's peaceful words, Yu Ke calmed down, got up, took the brocade box on the table, and said, "Look."
Chu Tang's eyes lit up slightly: "Didn't your Highness have someone take it to the inner palace?"
"If brother wants it, can I not give it to you?" Yu Ke handed the brocade box to Chu Tang, "I got the calligraphy and painting, when did I not show it to my brother?"
Chu Tang opened the brocade box, took out the scroll, untied the ribbon, and slowly pulled it away.
Kang's comment on this post: "The spirit is clear, and it exists in the person." Now that the real product is seen, the square and the circle are used together, the script is cursive, and the shape is formed in one go.
"I gave those calligraphy and paintings to my brother many times, but my brother didn't want them." Yu Ke looked at him, put one hand on Chu Tang's lap, and imitated Chu Tang's expression when he spoke, with flat eyebrows and calm voice, lifelike, "'Chen The place in the mansion is small, not as good as the inner mansion of His Royal Highness's palace, where treasures can be stored and preserved forever.'”
After reading it, Chu Tang put away the copybook, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Rare treasures, they should be kept well."
Yu Ke was stunned, thinking of something, his eyes darkened: "Yes, what brother said is true."
----
When not talking about the eighth prince, Yu Ke was still that warm and pleasant young man, talking and laughing at Yan Yan in front of Chu Tang, clinging to him and saying this and that, as if the previous quarrel had never happened.
On this day, when dusk fell, Yu Ke told him to rest well, and left Zichen Palace.
In the quiet palace, a mechanical voice rang out: [Ding——walking a hundred miles and a half and ninety, the hidden mission 'Brothers and Friends' has been stuck at 90.00% progress for several consecutive days.I hope that the host will take the initiative to attack, complete it as soon as possible, consolidate the reputation of the emperor, and get rewards. 】
[In addition, if the host is injured on duty, he will receive additional rewards when the task is completed. 】
After hearing this, Chu Tang sighed slightly in his heart.
What should be done is still to be done.
He put on his clothes and went to the door.
A figure floating like a ghost knelt down in front of him: "Master."
"Get up." Chu Tang said.
Seeing him coming out, Yue Rong hurriedly brought someone over: "Where is the national teacher going?"
Xu Yi looked up at Chu Tang.Chu Tang nodded slightly.
Yuerong saw a black shadow flashing in front of her eyes, felt a pain in her neck, and passed out.Xu Yi took her limp body neatly, and put her on the pillar to lean against.
Seeing this scene, the people in Zichen Palace were shocked. The guards were hesitant to draw their swords. The eunuch and maid plopped down and stood in front of him, begging on the ground: "The crown prince ordered that the national teacher is in poor health. Get angry, ask the national teacher..."
Chu Tang glanced at them indifferently, the silver mask shone coldly in the moonlight: "Get out of the way."
Everyone trembled, and then silently made way.
Chu Tang walked out of the palace.The kneeling palace servants could only see the corner of his black robe with silver trimming billowing in the wind.
Palace Dungeon.The night wind here is particularly biting, and the sound of water ticking somewhere.
When the warden saw him, he was startled, and hurried up to greet him: "I pay homage to the national teacher. The national teacher is here, I don't know why?"
The national teacher said: "Open the door."
Xu Yi stood behind him, with a pale and handsome face, staring at the jailer, looking like Yan Luo who was bloodthirsty at night.
The jailer swallowed, resisting his fear, and said: "Yes." He waved to the people behind him, "Open the door quickly!"
A bunch of keys rattled.
"Take me to see His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince."
"Yes."
Ji twists and turns, and finally stops in front of a prison.
The eighth prince was lying on the grass bed, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, and he was rather haggard.Hearing the sound, he didn't intend to turn around, only listened to the warder's respectful voice, thought it was Yu Ke, like a drunk, and said: "The prince is free, have you come to see brother Chen again?"
Ye Mingzhu silently illuminated the dark dungeon, and her cold voice sounded like spring water coming out of stone: "His Royal Highness."
The eighth prince was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head abruptly.
The national teacher stood there, clearly dressed in black, but looked like a flawless mutton fat jade, the only bright color in this filthy place.
The eighth prince's eyes lit up, he wiped his face, and walked over: "Is the national teacher in good health?"
"Better than the Eighth Highness." Chu Tang said flatly.
The jailer followed behind, silent.
Chu Tang: "Open the door."
The jailer froze for a moment before realizing that he was talking to him, and quickly said: "National Teacher, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to guard..."
"Well," Chu Tang said without haste, "I came here with the crown prince's oral order to let the eighth prince go back to the mansion."
The jailer was surprised, hesitated a few times, but still bowed his head: "But according to the instructions of the national teacher."
Seeing the moon outside again, the Eighth Prince was still in a daze, and he looked at Chu Tang.
Chu Tang said: "Your Highness Eighth, there is Third Young Master Shen's carriage waiting for you outside the city gate."
The eighth prince asked in a low voice: "National teacher...why did you help me?"
"When I help His Highness the Eighth Prince, I am helping the prince," Chu Tang said.
Above the dungeon is a city wall that is as solid as gold, and below the city wall is a large open space.
Chu Tang said to Xu Yi, "You send him out."
Just as Xu Yi was about to say something, he paused again, as if he heard something, he listened carefully, and said calmly: "Master, someone is here."
As soon as the words fell, the strong and sharp imperial guards surrounded them like iron dragons, and the dark open space suddenly brightened like day.
Everyone got out of the way, and Yu Ke walked slowly in front of them with his hands behind his hands. His eyes were like night, and he locked Chu Tang firmly: "National teacher." After a pause, he looked at the eighth prince, his eyes bent: "Brother Huang .”
Song Shuangcheng winked at Chu Tang behind Yu Ke's back, to the effect that: I am ashamed of my teacher's entrustment!But I really can't hold on anymore! !
Chu Tang didn't change his face, Shi Shiran bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness the Prince." Xu Yi followed his master's movements, and the Eighth Prince bowed mechanically with a pale face.
Yu Ke said slowly: "Teacher is very elegant, and Brother Eight Emperor is here to enjoy the moon, why don't you call me a student?"
"The prince is busy, why bother?" Chu Tang said.
The two looked at each other, Chu Tang was calm, and Yu Ke's eyes were deep.After a while, Yu Ke looked away, smiled, with complicated meanings, and suddenly said: "Li Yuansheng."
Li Yuansheng bent over and stood aside, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "The servant is here."
It was only then that Chu Tang saw that Yu Ke was holding a bright yellow cloth in his hand.
Yu Ke didn't look at Chu Tang, and threw the edict to Li Yuansheng with a gloomy face.
Li Yuansheng quickly caught it, opened it, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "Under the heavens, there is no one who respects relatives... Although the sinful woman, Queen Shen, has committed crimes, she has returned to the dust, and I miss the eight emperors who lost their biological mothers." , Deep condolences, so I will no longer be held accountable..."
He looked up at the scene where swords were on the verge of breaking out, and continued: "According to the law of the current dynasty, if the prince reaches the age of weak crown, he needs to go to the border pass to practice. After the eighth brother conferred the king's territory, he will go to Yanmen pass in northern Xinjiang soon."
Although Yanmenguan is a place of bitter cold, it is far away from the capital, which is a place of evil. The sky is far away from the emperor. The eighth prince can not only escape the shackles of the Shen family, but also avoid Yu Ke's wrath. This is the best way out for him right now. up.
Moreover, Yu Ke is actually willing to crown the Eighth Prince as king.I thought these imperial guards were here to arrest him, but I didn't expect that they were here to escort him?
Song Shuangcheng was dumbfounded.The crown prince was with him just now, when did he write the edict, why didn't he see it? !
Not only he was surprised, but also the people who read out the imperial edict. The Eighth Prince was even more stunned, froze on the spot and didn't respond.
Chu Tang gave him a push: "It's time for His Royal Highness to receive the order."
The eighth prince staggered forward, and looked back at Chu Tang, who was as distant and indifferent as usual.
Yu Ke said in a deep voice: "The teacher is as good as a god, and he came to pick up the Eighth Prince from prison one step ahead of the students. You and I have a tacit understanding."
"How could it reach Your Highness?" Chu Tang said calmly.
The Eighth Prince turned his head again and looked towards Yu Ke, just in time to see him throwing his sleeves and leaving.
"Your Majesty, thank you, His Royal Highness." The Eighth Prince knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness is a thousand years old."
What was originally thought to be a night of adventure and prison robbery ended when the eighth prince received the order to seal the king as Shoujiang.But the hard part is yet to come.
----
Two rows of guards stood upright, the lights were bright, Li Yuansheng stood guard at the entrance of the racecourse, leaning on the pillars, the brim of his hat became lower and lower, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, when suddenly a slight cold fragrance came, he was shocked and straightened get up.
Chu Tang was still dressed in black with silver trim, looking dignified and proud.
The guard knelt down on one knee: "Meet the national teacher."
"stand up."
Li Yuansheng blamed himself: "The little one deserves to die."
I heard the national teacher say: "Go to the stable and bring my horse over." Li Yuansheng immediately said: "Yes, the servant will go right away."
There is a huge racecourse in the palace, and the flat grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. It sprouts in spring and gets wet with dew.
In the silent field, a black-maned horse galloped in the dark night, like the wind and lightning, the horse's hooves stepped across the grassland, bringing up a little dew and grass clippings, and the wild breath lingered in the air.
The young man was riding on the horse, holding the rein with one hand, and flew out like an offline arrow.After running around, he slowed down, picked up the bow hanging from the horse's belly, drew a white-feathered arrow from the quiver, and quickly aimed it at one place.
With the sound of "whoosh", an arrow shot out, smashing a huge black stone, and the iron arrow was firmly inserted into the mud.
He put his hand into the quiver and wanted to shoot again, but he suddenly felt something, stopped his hand, and suddenly reined in his horse and turned around.
The steed's front hooves soared into the air, and it roared to the sky.
In the dimly lit place, a man is leading a horse walking towards this side.
Yu Ke narrowed his eyes, like a leopard dormant in the dark, dangerous and restrained.Suddenly, he took out an arrow, stringed and pulled the bow, and aimed in the direction of the man.
Chu Tang stopped, holding the rein in his hand.The horse beside him was restrained by him, but it rubbed against Chu Tang obediently and affectionately.
His eyes were indifferent as usual, looking at him quietly, and the silver mask glowed with a soft light.Behind is the huge outline of the imperial city and the endless night, as if trying to devour the thin Chutang with claws and teeth.
And himself in front of him.
Yu Ke tightened his fingers.
Yu Bei has a spring hunt every year, and the ministers all know that their crown prince has a good arrow technique, piercing the Yang with a hundred steps, without fail, and has the demeanor of the founding ancestors.
The young man's eyesight was very good, and by the moonlight, he could clearly see the band around Chu Tang's ear that was almost hidden in the black hair.
Yu Ke knew that as long as he let go now, he would be able to shoot off Chu Tang's mask——Chu Tang's face, so far only he can see it so blatantly.
But living in this world, with so many variables, countless people coveting Chu Tang, and so many people around Chu Tang, how can he have this privilege forever?
As soon as he thought about it, Yu Ke's heart began to agitate, pouring into his blood like an overturned jar of vinegar.
The bow and arrow in his hand slowly descended.
Chu Tang's chest rose and fell calmly, and his clothes covered his wounds.
Yu Ke liked to be close to Chu Tang since he was a child.When Chu Tang taught him calligraphy, he often leaned in his arms, listening to the slight heartbeat in his ears, thinking while writing, that my brother never seemed to be afraid, and his heartbeat was always so gentle and calm.
But very lively.Only he could listen so closely.
But he was hurt for someone else.For an insignificant person, Chu Tang was injured, and went to the prison at night to rescue him.
If the wounds on his chest for others were covered with new wounds for him, then Chu Tang's eyes and body would only remember him.
……
Being pointed at with an arrow, Chu Tang didn't seem to care, his eyes didn't change a bit.
As if the fierce horse next to him was snorting too heavily and rubbing back and forth, Chu Tang reached out and touched its neck, and stroked its mane.
The horse twitched happily.
Yu Ke closed his eyes, threw his bow and arrow suddenly, and got off his horse.
Chu Tang looked at him.
Yu Ke walked up to him, panting, and suddenly reached out to hug Chu Tang.
As he got closer, he could smell the boy's fiery breathing.
It must have been here for a long time. Yu Ke's face and neck were covered with sweat, and his narrow-sleeved tights were drenched, showing the powerful lines of the young man's arms slightly, mixed with the smell of ambergris and green grass.
Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment, and let go of the reins leading the horse.
The horse was free, and went to play with the black horse familiarly.
"Brother." Chu Tang shouted in his ear, a little choked up, a little nostalgic.
"The minister is here."
Yu Ke's hands froze, took a deep breath, let him go, turned around, and said coldly: "What is the national teacher doing here?"
Chu Tang didn't know why his attitude changed so quickly, but thinking about his adolescence, he was also used to the moody personality of the teenager these days, and said, "I come to confess my mistake to Your Highness."
Seemingly stepping on the boy's thunder again, Yu Ke said irritably, "Why are you here to confess to me?"
Chu Tang said: "The minister falsely delivered the crown prince's oral order, and let the eighth prince go privately." Although Yu Ke relieved them of their siege in front of everyone, Chu Tang knew very well that admitting a mistake requires the appearance of admitting it, so he spoke very sincerely.
On the contrary, Yu Ke became more irritable, like a gun/powder barrel being ignited, and said in a stern voice: "Brother also knows that there is something wrong with doing this? You falsely passed on the word that you want to rob the prison and release the Eighth Prince. What does the minister think of us? Brother, does he want to see the minister submit a memorial for me to punish you, or does he want those who know the inside story to feel that the national teacher is powerful, the prince is afraid, and his majesty is demolished, so that you and I have been separated for more than ten years? Efforts in vain?"
Chu Tang also knew it was not good to do so, and his eyes were extremely soft: "I'm sorry."
Yu Ke turned around and wanted to say something more, but when he met Chu Tang's gaze, he was startled again.Then he lowered his shoulders a little slumped, like a rampaging little wolf dog hitting a cotton wall, drooping his ears, and drooping his head in despondency.
He was a little annoyed.
What kind of anger is he with Chu Tang? Over the past ten years, how much Chu Tang has tried his best to protect him, he has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, how can he say that about him?Besides, Chu Tang was still injured, obviously he just decided a few days ago not to make Chu Tang angry anymore.
Chu Tang thought that he was still angry, reached out to hold his hand, and said softly: "Your Highness, I didn't think carefully this time, and I won't do it in the future."
The city wall that Yu Ke tried his best to build suddenly collapsed like a mountain.
He turned around, trying not to hold down Chu Tang's wound, hugged Chu Tang lightly, and called, "Brother."
Just like when he was a child, Chu Tang touched his shoulder slightly, and quickly let go: "Your Highness, you have handled the matter of the Eighth Prince very well."
Yu Ke buried himself on his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, can we not talk about him? He is not worthy of your attention, let alone our dispute over him."
The young man was very hot, and when he spoke, his breath hit Chu Tang's bare neck, making him itchy.
He couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, don't be childish."
"Where am I childish?" Yu Ke said childishly, "I only have your brother. Can you stop looking at others?"
"But Your Highness, I often look at others because of you." Chu Tang said slowly.
Yu Ke was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, and looked into his eyes.
He knew that many things Chu Tang did were for the good of him and Yu Bei, but Chu Tang never said anything.This is the first time he has clearly said "Your Highness, I am for you".
Yu Ke's heartbeat suddenly beat like a drum, making his mouth dry: "For me?"
Haoyue is in the sky.
The two walked slowly side by side, Yu Ke refused to let Chu Tang ride the horse, and held the two horses with one hand, which was quite easy.
Chu Tang said: "I know that the Eighth Prince and Empress Shen have bullied His Highness, so they have never objected to suppressing the Shen family. The revenge that should be avenged must be avenged, but there are still some things to worry about."
Yu Ke listened quietly, and Ji asked softly, "What are you worried about me, brother?"
Before that, the Shen family had been eyeing up and wanted to pull Yu Ke down from the position of prince and let the eighth prince succeed him.Later, the Shen family lost power, and the Eighth Prince's palace was neglected, and no one cared about it.
Most of the officials of the prince's faction said that the best time to solve the hidden dangers had come, and they secretly advised Chu Tang and Yu Ke to do it, and they would have nothing to worry about after solving the eighth prince quietly.
Chu Tang chose to save the Eighth Prince.Even if there is no systematic mission, he will still protect him.
One reason is for the sake of Yu Ke's reputation.In ancient times, it was impossible for emperors to have their hands clean, but even if they bear countless infamy, as long as they hold the power of life and death firmly in their hands, they can sit on the dragon chair, even if they wake up in the middle of the night because of the dirty things they did. Come.
But Yu Ke is different.
Yu Ke is intelligent and decisive, but after all he grew up with Chu Tang, his heart is undiminished, his temperament is sincere, and he still retains a little bit of affection for his family - it can be seen from his attachment and admiration for Chu Tang .
Chu Tang didn't want him to start to understand the difficulty of making money out of everyone at such a young age.
Yu Ke listened silently, with an unknown light shining in his eyes: "Brother is doing my best, how could I not know?"
But he didn't want Chu Tang to suffer any harm because of him, let alone because of others - he was angry that Chu Tang didn't take good care of himself.
But Chu Tang didn't understand at all, he just thought that he was still angry because he favored the Eighth Prince, and said: "His Highness has left the capital, and probably won't shake the crown prince's throne, and I will never have another master. Rest assured, Your Highness."
Yu Ke looked at him sideways for a while, then turned his head away, and suddenly smiled: "Chu Tang, you are really...how can I say it?"
Chu Tang looked at him suspiciously.
Yu Ke sighed in his heart, that's all, even he couldn't figure out what he was thinking now, let alone Chu Tang.
He took a step forward and got closer to Chu Tang, holding the two reins with one hand and Chu Tang with the other, hugging his left arm in his arms.
"Your Highness?" Chu Tang asked uncertainly, "Your Highness is not angry with the minister?"
Yu Ke clung to him tightly, tilted his head and rubbed his shoulder, and snorted: "No, I'm angry, I'm so angry."
Chu Tang didn't take back his hand, letting the child grab and walk slowly with him.
Yu Ke said: "Empress Shen is going to die sooner or later, the students just took this step a little earlier, the teacher won't blame the students, right?"
Chu Tang shook his head: "The crown prince played a good game of chess, I feel ashamed."
There was a smile in Yu Ke's eyes: "Praise me again, the teacher always compliments me with words."
"The minister can also compliment His Highness in action."
Hearing what he said, Yu Ke straightened up, saw the horse he was leading with a smile on his lips, and said, "That's true."
The horse he was riding had a fierce and dark body, and its silver hooves were as white as treading smoke, so it was named Taxue.It was Chu Tang who sent him.It has been with Yu Ke since it was a little pony.
It was also at that time that he discovered that Chu Tang was not good at everything—Chu Tang could not ride a horse, so his riding and archery was not taught by Chu Tang.
In his mind, Chu Tang knows everything, he can govern the government, he can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is omnipotent and proficient in everything.So when Chu Tang said he couldn't ride a horse, he was surprised: "Didn't the old master teach my brother?"
Chu Tang smiled and said, "I grew up in Mingyue Temple, my father didn't teach me how to ride and shoot."
Yu Ke hugged Chu Tang's thigh, raised his head and said, "Then brother and I will learn together, okay?"
So the teachers and students learned to ride horses together.
Chu Tang learned everything quickly, and so did Yu Ke, and the two learned it almost at the same time.
Later, Yu Ke gave Chu Tang a horse, which is the current Huoyun.
When picking out the horse, for some reason, he somehow felt that Chu Tang should ride a fiery red horse, which was shining brightly against Chu Tang's snowy skin and black hair, as if the blaze of fire could crush the master's indifference.
Thinking of this, a distant picture flashed through his mind—on a snowy night in the distance, that person rescued him from the Chimon people, sent him to the chariot of fiery red horses, sent him back to the capital, and sent him to meet Chu Tang .
In the past few days during the cold war, Yu Ke was full of unhappiness, but now that they have reconciled, he couldn't help but say: "The slaves in my palace are really useless, even my brother doesn't like it."
Chu Tang said: "It's me who insisted on going my own way, please don't punish them, the crown prince."
Now he is no longer a minister.Yu Ke muttered in his heart.Chu Tang was not so indifferent only when pleading for others.
But who told him to be his teacher? He always liked him and relied on him so much.
"Then teacher also compliment me in action?"
"Would you like to accompany His Royal Highness to race horses?"
"It's a good idea, you still have injuries. I will punish you to accompany me to race horses when you are done."
"But as His Highness orders."
----
The setting sun is gradually slanting and shining brightly, and the green grassland is covered with a thin layer of gold, yellow and green intersecting, swaying in the breeze.
The guards were guarding outside the paddock, listening to the galloping horses, one after the other, "da da" leveled the short grass, and there were laughter and laughter in the arena from time to time, full of pride.
"drive--"
"drive--"
The horses competed to gallop, Song Shuangcheng rode on the white horse, lowered his body, whipped the horse non-stop, stared at the two riders in front of him, and tried hard to catch up.
The fire clouds are like shooting stars, and the snow is like thunder and lightning. The competition is fierce, and there is no distinction between equals.Slowly, Taxue moved forward a little.When rushing towards the finish line, Huoyun strode past the black horse again.
The royal flag was waving in the wind, and during the banquet, delicacies were placed on the table, a dazzling array of beautiful things.The princes and ministers in their costumes watched and cheered at the same time, staring nervously at the finish line.
The end point is a small hill with a small flag fluttering in the wind.
Yu Ke and Chu Tang reached the finish line almost at the same time.
But the young man was faster, bent over, pulled out the flag neatly, reined in his horse and stopped, turned around and looked at Chu Tang with a smile.
Chu Tang also stopped his horse. Across the fence, he received the juvenile's joyful and proud eyes, and smiled: "Your Highness is brave, I admire you."
Received Chu Tang's praise as he wished, Yu Ke's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said politely: "The national teacher's injury is just right, so it's not suitable to take the flag, so the students will do it for you."
With bright eyes, he handed the flag to Chu Tang.
Chu Tang looked at him, did not refuse, took the flag, and handed it to Li Yuansheng who came up to meet him.
Li Yuansheng smiled and said loudly: "His Royal Highness and the National Teacher are number one again!"
The courtiers who came over continued to congratulate.
Yu Ke said: "Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices, don't you think so?"
The courtiers naturally said yes repeatedly.Yu Ke supported the horse's head with one hand, while looking at Chu Tang, his movements were casual and his gaze was like a torch.
Chu Tang said: "It was His Highness who took off the flag and won the first place. It is already better than blue."
The following horses crossed the finish line one after another, and the young masters of your family have only arrived now.Song Shuangcheng and others rode over slowly, stopped in front of Yu Ke, clasped their fists and said, "His Royal Highness has improved a lot in riding skills, and the ministers are really far behind."
……
The guard came to lead the horse, and the two of them turned over and got off the ground, talking and walking.
After a fierce horse race, Chu Tang's fence was slightly crooked.Yu Ke stretched out his hand to straighten him up, and said, "Brother, does the wound hurt?"
"No." Chu Tang shook his head, and the fence fluttered in the wind, slightly revealing the white chin and neck underneath, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, the wound is recovering very well."
For some reason, Yu Ke's mouth suddenly became parched.Obviously he was the one who wanted Chu Tang to wear a mask, but now he feels that it is good for Chu Tang to wear a mask. impulse.
He cleared his throat and said, "Brother, go to my palace to change."
Without waiting for Chu Tang to say anything, he turned his head, blinked and said, "I went to Zichen Palace with the prince for the last time."
Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
With a smile on the corner of the boy's lips, he grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go brother."
Li Yuansheng followed behind, heaving a sigh of relief and rejoicing that the two ancestors finally reconciled.
A few days ago, the prince had a cold face, irritable and irritable, and the servants had been living in dire straits, trembling with fear. Now this iceberg has finally melted. Thank God, thank you, the late emperor.
Zichen Palace.
Starting from tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, the prince will no longer be just a prince, but will become the emperor of Yu Bei, live in the emperor's historical palace of Qianqing, take charge of the government, and command the world.
As soon as Chu Tang changed into his clothes in the side hall, he heard all the palace servants behind him salute: "The prince is well."
As soon as the words fell, a pair of arms hugged him from behind, with a faint scent of ambergris, warm and pleasant.
In the bronze mirror, Yu Ke was dressed in a black prince's suit, which made his face look like a crown jade, making him even more handsome and unrestrained.
He put his chin on Chu Tang's shoulder, and gently put his arms around his waist from behind. Without waiting for Chu Tang to say anything, he took the belt in Xu Yi's hand with one hand, and said with a smile, "Let the students tie it for the teacher." .”
Chu Tang turned around, pushed him away, and said, "The crown prince has a precious body, how can he do these things..."
Caught off guard by something being robbed, Xu Yi pursed his lips and stood beside him with downcast eyes, like an air that didn't exist, but exuded an inexplicably sad breath, as if begging for the belt that originally belonged to him.
Seeing this, Yu Ke snorted in his heart.
Chu Tang couldn't see the undercurrent between them, so he just said: "Xu Yi's tie is pretty good, just let him do it."
"Does the teacher not allow students to do even such trivial things?" Yu Ke was able to look at Chu Tang at the same level, looked at him, a little wronged, and a little bit unrestrained, and said, "Maybe this is the last time. gone."
Chu Tang was taken aback, thinking of something, softened his attitude, nodded and said, "That's fine."
Xu Yi and the others retreated silently.
Yu Ke seemed to have won a battle and was so happy that he half-kneeled, compared the belt to Chu Tang's waist, and muttered, "Why is brother always so thin?"
He opened his palm again and said, "I can hold it with two hands."
Chu Tang thought he was joking, opened his hands, let Yu Ke tie the belt on him with peace of mind, and said slowly: "Women's waists are more slender, Your Highness will know later."
Before he finished speaking, he felt his waist tighten. Chu Tang lowered his head and met the child's angry eyes.
Yu Ke tightened his belt and said angrily, "How do you know, brother tried?"
try what?hug waist?Of course Chu Tang tried.
He is an actor, and it is common for him to hug actresses. Not to mention walking on the red carpet, he just had a drama when he debuted. The male protagonist he plays is a man with a strong boyfriend, whether he is domineering or gentle, he is handsome full.Once, during a quarrel, he pulled the hostess into his arms and kissed her, kissing and hugging each other—anyway, this kind of contact is commonplace.
But how can he tell Yu Ke about his professional experience?
He then said: "What you can see, you don't need to use your hands."
Hearing his words, Yu Ke let go, but still didn't believe it: "Really?"
He fastened his belt, stood up, and said: "The national teacher's celestial appearance, there are countless people in Beijing who love the national teacher, and there must be someone who recommends himself to be a pillow in a place where he can't see him alone. Brother is young and vigorous, can he still hold it ?”
All these things can be done with a belt.Chu Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's nothing, His Royal Highness."
Yu Ke was a little satisfied and a little dissatisfied, but he didn't know where his dissatisfaction was, so he took a step back and said, "Okay, Gu will believe it for now. Brother, don't lie to me."
"Naturally." Chu Tang nodded.
For convenience, when he came back, he replaced Mi Li and put on a silver mask.Yu Ke stood a little closer in front of him, his gaze rested on Chu Tang's slender neck, looking at his beautifully curved Adam's apple, and then he couldn't help swallowing.
His body was a little hot, and he thought what was wrong with him, why was he so strange?It seemed that looking at Chu Tang could relieve a little, but he seemed to become more agitated.
Chu Tang's words interrupted his thoughts: "Tomorrow's grand ceremony, is Your Highness ready?"
His voice was always cold, but it made Yu Ke's heart extremely warm.
Suppressing the restlessness, he said, "Students are ready. With my brother by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ji Chutang said: "Your Highness will be a good monarch."
He stretched out his hand to pull Yu Ke's hand away, but Yu Ke pulled Chu Tang behind him with force, and his voice was like ice: "Guhe Guoshi has something to say, let's take a step first." After finishing speaking, Turn around and leave.
Rong Yue was left blank, watching Yu Ke pull Chu Tang away, his eyes sank slightly.
Chu Tang looked back at him and shook his head slightly.
Yu Ke's strength is not too heavy, it won't hurt Chu Tang, but he can't break free easily.
Li Yuansheng and others followed tremblingly.All the way to Zichen Palace.The boy's steps were not long, as if he was accommodating the injured person behind him.
Chu Tang looked at the back of Yu Ke's head, and suddenly found that Yu Ke had grown up again, almost surpassing his ears.
Chu Tang is not short, with a slender body of 1.8 meters and a clean temperament, he stands out from the crowd of tall men in the entertainment industry.
But Yu Bei's people seem to be quite tall.Yu Ke hasn't passed puberty yet, so it's still a long time to come.
Wrist tightened.Chu Tang regained his senses and looked at the boy.
The boy's handsome face was full of anger, and his face sank like water: "Brother."
"Hmm." Chu Tang followed the good advice and dealt with it with ease, "Didn't your Highness think that I have the intention of setting up another master, so you don't want to see me?"
Yu Ke froze for a moment, and said stiffly: "Where do I have it?"
Chu Tang sat down and didn't speak.
Yu Ke quietly looked at his expression, he was calm and unwavering, as usual, he couldn't see anything.
Fortunately, the imperial physician arrived at this time.
Yu Ke watched the imperial physician examine Chu Tang, and when he saw that the bandage was stained red, his eyes sank again.
Chu Tang knew Yu Ke's expression without looking, and sighed slightly in his heart. He was about to win back just now, and now the balance is about to tip over again.
The imperial doctor changed the medicine and said: "The wound is bleeding a little, just stop it. The national teacher's body is in good shape, and he is nourished by His Royal Highness's tonic. It must be healed soon. Be careful not to get angry in the future."
It seems that he took Chu Tang's cough as anger.
After hearing this, Yu Ke pursed his lips and nodded, "Okay."
After the imperial doctor left, the two remained relatively silent.Chu Tang was thinking about how to tell Yu Ke that he was not angry—the kid was still angry with him, wouldn't he be even angrier when he heard the imperial doctor say that he was angry?
But seeing Yu Ke clenched his fingers, turned around and left without saying a word.
Yue Rong came in with her head down, saluted and said: "Report to the national teacher, Mr. Xu is back."
Chu Tang froze for a moment, then remembered that she was talking about Xu Yi, and said, "Let him in."
Yue Rong said: "The maidservant just said that Mr. Xu said that it is good for him to guard outside."
Xu Yi has always done things safely.Chu Tang wanted him to come in and ask him where he had been these few days, but when he heard her words, he nodded and said, "That's fine."
He looked at the guards outside the window.Except for the personal servants, almost all the maids and eunuchs in the palace are unfamiliar faces.It can be seen that Yu Ke washed the people in the palace.
Bitterness wafted in.Chu Tang looked up and saw Yu Ke came in again, holding a bowl of medicine in his hand, followed by Li Yuansheng.
"Go down." Yu Ke said.
Yue Rong immediately said: "Yes."
Li Yuansheng didn't dare to look too much, he put the things in his hands on the table and bowed to leave.
There were only the two of them left in the cella.
Chu Tang's eyes dimmed, and it was Yu Ke who sat down beside the bed, holding a porcelain spoon in his hand, slowly stirring the medicine in the bowl.
"I'll do it myself." Chu Tang stretched out his hand to take the bowl.
But Yu Ke avoided his hand, and fed it to his mouth, his tone was a bit cold: "Drink."
After Chu Tang had a meal, he still let the child feed him spoonful after spoonful.
Seeing Chu Tang drink the medicine obediently, Yu Ke's expression eased a lot, he put the bowl aside, and said, "Brother and Rong Zuo Xiangguo really have a good understanding. He is waiting for you in the Imperial Garden, and you just happened to go there today."
Chu Tang said: "We are in the palace together, how can we never see each other?"
Yu Ke said again: "But my brother has been in Zichen Palace for the past few days, and he never took the initiative to find me."
He also knew that Chu Tang had been in Zichen Palace these days.
Chu Tang said: "If Your Highness wants to see me, just come directly. I am always waiting for you."
Back and forth, soldiers come and stop.
Yu Ke snorted: "I'm afraid my brother is always looking forward to leaving here."
"How could it be?" Chu Tang said, "It's a great honor to have His Highness take care of you."
Yu Ke glanced at him, then suddenly changed direction and sat with his back to Chu Tang, like a child sulking, he said in a muffled voice, "Chu Tang."
"Your Highness." Chu Tang replied.
The boy's anger comes and goes quickly.Hearing Chu Tang's peaceful words, Yu Ke calmed down, got up, took the brocade box on the table, and said, "Look."
Chu Tang's eyes lit up slightly: "Didn't your Highness have someone take it to the inner palace?"
"If brother wants it, can I not give it to you?" Yu Ke handed the brocade box to Chu Tang, "I got the calligraphy and painting, when did I not show it to my brother?"
Chu Tang opened the brocade box, took out the scroll, untied the ribbon, and slowly pulled it away.
Kang's comment on this post: "The spirit is clear, and it exists in the person." Now that the real product is seen, the square and the circle are used together, the script is cursive, and the shape is formed in one go.
"I gave those calligraphy and paintings to my brother many times, but my brother didn't want them." Yu Ke looked at him, put one hand on Chu Tang's lap, and imitated Chu Tang's expression when he spoke, with flat eyebrows and calm voice, lifelike, "'Chen The place in the mansion is small, not as good as the inner mansion of His Royal Highness's palace, where treasures can be stored and preserved forever.'”
After reading it, Chu Tang put away the copybook, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his lips: "Rare treasures, they should be kept well."
Yu Ke was stunned, thinking of something, his eyes darkened: "Yes, what brother said is true."
----
When not talking about the eighth prince, Yu Ke was still that warm and pleasant young man, talking and laughing at Yan Yan in front of Chu Tang, clinging to him and saying this and that, as if the previous quarrel had never happened.
On this day, when dusk fell, Yu Ke told him to rest well, and left Zichen Palace.
In the quiet palace, a mechanical voice rang out: [Ding——walking a hundred miles and a half and ninety, the hidden mission 'Brothers and Friends' has been stuck at 90.00% progress for several consecutive days.I hope that the host will take the initiative to attack, complete it as soon as possible, consolidate the reputation of the emperor, and get rewards. 】
[In addition, if the host is injured on duty, he will receive additional rewards when the task is completed. 】
After hearing this, Chu Tang sighed slightly in his heart.
What should be done is still to be done.
He put on his clothes and went to the door.
A figure floating like a ghost knelt down in front of him: "Master."
"Get up." Chu Tang said.
Seeing him coming out, Yue Rong hurriedly brought someone over: "Where is the national teacher going?"
Xu Yi looked up at Chu Tang.Chu Tang nodded slightly.
Yuerong saw a black shadow flashing in front of her eyes, felt a pain in her neck, and passed out.Xu Yi took her limp body neatly, and put her on the pillar to lean against.
Seeing this scene, the people in Zichen Palace were shocked. The guards were hesitant to draw their swords. The eunuch and maid plopped down and stood in front of him, begging on the ground: "The crown prince ordered that the national teacher is in poor health. Get angry, ask the national teacher..."
Chu Tang glanced at them indifferently, the silver mask shone coldly in the moonlight: "Get out of the way."
Everyone trembled, and then silently made way.
Chu Tang walked out of the palace.The kneeling palace servants could only see the corner of his black robe with silver trimming billowing in the wind.
Palace Dungeon.The night wind here is particularly biting, and the sound of water ticking somewhere.
When the warden saw him, he was startled, and hurried up to greet him: "I pay homage to the national teacher. The national teacher is here, I don't know why?"
The national teacher said: "Open the door."
Xu Yi stood behind him, with a pale and handsome face, staring at the jailer, looking like Yan Luo who was bloodthirsty at night.
The jailer swallowed, resisting his fear, and said: "Yes." He waved to the people behind him, "Open the door quickly!"
A bunch of keys rattled.
"Take me to see His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince."
"Yes."
Ji twists and turns, and finally stops in front of a prison.
The eighth prince was lying on the grass bed, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were dull, and he was rather haggard.Hearing the sound, he didn't intend to turn around, only listened to the warder's respectful voice, thought it was Yu Ke, like a drunk, and said: "The prince is free, have you come to see brother Chen again?"
Ye Mingzhu silently illuminated the dark dungeon, and her cold voice sounded like spring water coming out of stone: "His Royal Highness."
The eighth prince was taken aback for a moment, and turned his head abruptly.
The national teacher stood there, clearly dressed in black, but looked like a flawless mutton fat jade, the only bright color in this filthy place.
The eighth prince's eyes lit up, he wiped his face, and walked over: "Is the national teacher in good health?"
"Better than the Eighth Highness." Chu Tang said flatly.
The jailer followed behind, silent.
Chu Tang: "Open the door."
The jailer froze for a moment before realizing that he was talking to him, and quickly said: "National Teacher, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to guard..."
"Well," Chu Tang said without haste, "I came here with the crown prince's oral order to let the eighth prince go back to the mansion."
The jailer was surprised, hesitated a few times, but still bowed his head: "But according to the instructions of the national teacher."
Seeing the moon outside again, the Eighth Prince was still in a daze, and he looked at Chu Tang.
Chu Tang said: "Your Highness Eighth, there is Third Young Master Shen's carriage waiting for you outside the city gate."
The eighth prince asked in a low voice: "National teacher...why did you help me?"
"When I help His Highness the Eighth Prince, I am helping the prince," Chu Tang said.
Above the dungeon is a city wall that is as solid as gold, and below the city wall is a large open space.
Chu Tang said to Xu Yi, "You send him out."
Just as Xu Yi was about to say something, he paused again, as if he heard something, he listened carefully, and said calmly: "Master, someone is here."
As soon as the words fell, the strong and sharp imperial guards surrounded them like iron dragons, and the dark open space suddenly brightened like day.
Everyone got out of the way, and Yu Ke walked slowly in front of them with his hands behind his hands. His eyes were like night, and he locked Chu Tang firmly: "National teacher." After a pause, he looked at the eighth prince, his eyes bent: "Brother Huang .”
Song Shuangcheng winked at Chu Tang behind Yu Ke's back, to the effect that: I am ashamed of my teacher's entrustment!But I really can't hold on anymore! !
Chu Tang didn't change his face, Shi Shiran bowed his hands and said, "Your Highness the Prince." Xu Yi followed his master's movements, and the Eighth Prince bowed mechanically with a pale face.
Yu Ke said slowly: "Teacher is very elegant, and Brother Eight Emperor is here to enjoy the moon, why don't you call me a student?"
"The prince is busy, why bother?" Chu Tang said.
The two looked at each other, Chu Tang was calm, and Yu Ke's eyes were deep.After a while, Yu Ke looked away, smiled, with complicated meanings, and suddenly said: "Li Yuansheng."
Li Yuansheng bent over and stood aside, upon hearing this, he immediately said: "The servant is here."
It was only then that Chu Tang saw that Yu Ke was holding a bright yellow cloth in his hand.
Yu Ke didn't look at Chu Tang, and threw the edict to Li Yuansheng with a gloomy face.
Li Yuansheng quickly caught it, opened it, cleared his throat, and read aloud: "Under the heavens, there is no one who respects relatives... Although the sinful woman, Queen Shen, has committed crimes, she has returned to the dust, and I miss the eight emperors who lost their biological mothers." , Deep condolences, so I will no longer be held accountable..."
He looked up at the scene where swords were on the verge of breaking out, and continued: "According to the law of the current dynasty, if the prince reaches the age of weak crown, he needs to go to the border pass to practice. After the eighth brother conferred the king's territory, he will go to Yanmen pass in northern Xinjiang soon."
Although Yanmenguan is a place of bitter cold, it is far away from the capital, which is a place of evil. The sky is far away from the emperor. The eighth prince can not only escape the shackles of the Shen family, but also avoid Yu Ke's wrath. This is the best way out for him right now. up.
Moreover, Yu Ke is actually willing to crown the Eighth Prince as king.I thought these imperial guards were here to arrest him, but I didn't expect that they were here to escort him?
Song Shuangcheng was dumbfounded.The crown prince was with him just now, when did he write the edict, why didn't he see it? !
Not only he was surprised, but also the people who read out the imperial edict. The Eighth Prince was even more stunned, froze on the spot and didn't respond.
Chu Tang gave him a push: "It's time for His Royal Highness to receive the order."
The eighth prince staggered forward, and looked back at Chu Tang, who was as distant and indifferent as usual.
Yu Ke said in a deep voice: "The teacher is as good as a god, and he came to pick up the Eighth Prince from prison one step ahead of the students. You and I have a tacit understanding."
"How could it reach Your Highness?" Chu Tang said calmly.
The Eighth Prince turned his head again and looked towards Yu Ke, just in time to see him throwing his sleeves and leaving.
"Your Majesty, thank you, His Royal Highness." The Eighth Prince knelt down and kowtowed, "Your Highness is a thousand years old."
What was originally thought to be a night of adventure and prison robbery ended when the eighth prince received the order to seal the king as Shoujiang.But the hard part is yet to come.
----
Two rows of guards stood upright, the lights were bright, Li Yuansheng stood guard at the entrance of the racecourse, leaning on the pillars, the brim of his hat became lower and lower, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, when suddenly a slight cold fragrance came, he was shocked and straightened get up.
Chu Tang was still dressed in black with silver trim, looking dignified and proud.
The guard knelt down on one knee: "Meet the national teacher."
"stand up."
Li Yuansheng blamed himself: "The little one deserves to die."
I heard the national teacher say: "Go to the stable and bring my horse over." Li Yuansheng immediately said: "Yes, the servant will go right away."
There is a huge racecourse in the palace, and the flat grassland stretches as far as the eye can see. It sprouts in spring and gets wet with dew.
In the silent field, a black-maned horse galloped in the dark night, like the wind and lightning, the horse's hooves stepped across the grassland, bringing up a little dew and grass clippings, and the wild breath lingered in the air.
The young man was riding on the horse, holding the rein with one hand, and flew out like an offline arrow.After running around, he slowed down, picked up the bow hanging from the horse's belly, drew a white-feathered arrow from the quiver, and quickly aimed it at one place.
With the sound of "whoosh", an arrow shot out, smashing a huge black stone, and the iron arrow was firmly inserted into the mud.
He put his hand into the quiver and wanted to shoot again, but he suddenly felt something, stopped his hand, and suddenly reined in his horse and turned around.
The steed's front hooves soared into the air, and it roared to the sky.
In the dimly lit place, a man is leading a horse walking towards this side.
Yu Ke narrowed his eyes, like a leopard dormant in the dark, dangerous and restrained.Suddenly, he took out an arrow, stringed and pulled the bow, and aimed in the direction of the man.
Chu Tang stopped, holding the rein in his hand.The horse beside him was restrained by him, but it rubbed against Chu Tang obediently and affectionately.
His eyes were indifferent as usual, looking at him quietly, and the silver mask glowed with a soft light.Behind is the huge outline of the imperial city and the endless night, as if trying to devour the thin Chutang with claws and teeth.
And himself in front of him.
Yu Ke tightened his fingers.
Yu Bei has a spring hunt every year, and the ministers all know that their crown prince has a good arrow technique, piercing the Yang with a hundred steps, without fail, and has the demeanor of the founding ancestors.
The young man's eyesight was very good, and by the moonlight, he could clearly see the band around Chu Tang's ear that was almost hidden in the black hair.
Yu Ke knew that as long as he let go now, he would be able to shoot off Chu Tang's mask——Chu Tang's face, so far only he can see it so blatantly.
But living in this world, with so many variables, countless people coveting Chu Tang, and so many people around Chu Tang, how can he have this privilege forever?
As soon as he thought about it, Yu Ke's heart began to agitate, pouring into his blood like an overturned jar of vinegar.
The bow and arrow in his hand slowly descended.
Chu Tang's chest rose and fell calmly, and his clothes covered his wounds.
Yu Ke liked to be close to Chu Tang since he was a child.When Chu Tang taught him calligraphy, he often leaned in his arms, listening to the slight heartbeat in his ears, thinking while writing, that my brother never seemed to be afraid, and his heartbeat was always so gentle and calm.
But very lively.Only he could listen so closely.
But he was hurt for someone else.For an insignificant person, Chu Tang was injured, and went to the prison at night to rescue him.
If the wounds on his chest for others were covered with new wounds for him, then Chu Tang's eyes and body would only remember him.
……
Being pointed at with an arrow, Chu Tang didn't seem to care, his eyes didn't change a bit.
As if the fierce horse next to him was snorting too heavily and rubbing back and forth, Chu Tang reached out and touched its neck, and stroked its mane.
The horse twitched happily.
Yu Ke closed his eyes, threw his bow and arrow suddenly, and got off his horse.
Chu Tang looked at him.
Yu Ke walked up to him, panting, and suddenly reached out to hug Chu Tang.
As he got closer, he could smell the boy's fiery breathing.
It must have been here for a long time. Yu Ke's face and neck were covered with sweat, and his narrow-sleeved tights were drenched, showing the powerful lines of the young man's arms slightly, mixed with the smell of ambergris and green grass.
Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment, and let go of the reins leading the horse.
The horse was free, and went to play with the black horse familiarly.
"Brother." Chu Tang shouted in his ear, a little choked up, a little nostalgic.
"The minister is here."
Yu Ke's hands froze, took a deep breath, let him go, turned around, and said coldly: "What is the national teacher doing here?"
Chu Tang didn't know why his attitude changed so quickly, but thinking about his adolescence, he was also used to the moody personality of the teenager these days, and said, "I come to confess my mistake to Your Highness."
Seemingly stepping on the boy's thunder again, Yu Ke said irritably, "Why are you here to confess to me?"
Chu Tang said: "The minister falsely delivered the crown prince's oral order, and let the eighth prince go privately." Although Yu Ke relieved them of their siege in front of everyone, Chu Tang knew very well that admitting a mistake requires the appearance of admitting it, so he spoke very sincerely.
On the contrary, Yu Ke became more irritable, like a gun/powder barrel being ignited, and said in a stern voice: "Brother also knows that there is something wrong with doing this? You falsely passed on the word that you want to rob the prison and release the Eighth Prince. What does the minister think of us? Brother, does he want to see the minister submit a memorial for me to punish you, or does he want those who know the inside story to feel that the national teacher is powerful, the prince is afraid, and his majesty is demolished, so that you and I have been separated for more than ten years? Efforts in vain?"
Chu Tang also knew it was not good to do so, and his eyes were extremely soft: "I'm sorry."
Yu Ke turned around and wanted to say something more, but when he met Chu Tang's gaze, he was startled again.Then he lowered his shoulders a little slumped, like a rampaging little wolf dog hitting a cotton wall, drooping his ears, and drooping his head in despondency.
He was a little annoyed.
What kind of anger is he with Chu Tang? Over the past ten years, how much Chu Tang has tried his best to protect him, he has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, how can he say that about him?Besides, Chu Tang was still injured, obviously he just decided a few days ago not to make Chu Tang angry anymore.
Chu Tang thought that he was still angry, reached out to hold his hand, and said softly: "Your Highness, I didn't think carefully this time, and I won't do it in the future."
The city wall that Yu Ke tried his best to build suddenly collapsed like a mountain.
He turned around, trying not to hold down Chu Tang's wound, hugged Chu Tang lightly, and called, "Brother."
Just like when he was a child, Chu Tang touched his shoulder slightly, and quickly let go: "Your Highness, you have handled the matter of the Eighth Prince very well."
Yu Ke buried himself on his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother, can we not talk about him? He is not worthy of your attention, let alone our dispute over him."
The young man was very hot, and when he spoke, his breath hit Chu Tang's bare neck, making him itchy.
He couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, don't be childish."
"Where am I childish?" Yu Ke said childishly, "I only have your brother. Can you stop looking at others?"
"But Your Highness, I often look at others because of you." Chu Tang said slowly.
Yu Ke was stunned for a moment, let go of his hand, and looked into his eyes.
He knew that many things Chu Tang did were for the good of him and Yu Bei, but Chu Tang never said anything.This is the first time he has clearly said "Your Highness, I am for you".
Yu Ke's heartbeat suddenly beat like a drum, making his mouth dry: "For me?"
Haoyue is in the sky.
The two walked slowly side by side, Yu Ke refused to let Chu Tang ride the horse, and held the two horses with one hand, which was quite easy.
Chu Tang said: "I know that the Eighth Prince and Empress Shen have bullied His Highness, so they have never objected to suppressing the Shen family. The revenge that should be avenged must be avenged, but there are still some things to worry about."
Yu Ke listened quietly, and Ji asked softly, "What are you worried about me, brother?"
Before that, the Shen family had been eyeing up and wanted to pull Yu Ke down from the position of prince and let the eighth prince succeed him.Later, the Shen family lost power, and the Eighth Prince's palace was neglected, and no one cared about it.
Most of the officials of the prince's faction said that the best time to solve the hidden dangers had come, and they secretly advised Chu Tang and Yu Ke to do it, and they would have nothing to worry about after solving the eighth prince quietly.
Chu Tang chose to save the Eighth Prince.Even if there is no systematic mission, he will still protect him.
One reason is for the sake of Yu Ke's reputation.In ancient times, it was impossible for emperors to have their hands clean, but even if they bear countless infamy, as long as they hold the power of life and death firmly in their hands, they can sit on the dragon chair, even if they wake up in the middle of the night because of the dirty things they did. Come.
But Yu Ke is different.
Yu Ke is intelligent and decisive, but after all he grew up with Chu Tang, his heart is undiminished, his temperament is sincere, and he still retains a little bit of affection for his family - it can be seen from his attachment and admiration for Chu Tang .
Chu Tang didn't want him to start to understand the difficulty of making money out of everyone at such a young age.
Yu Ke listened silently, with an unknown light shining in his eyes: "Brother is doing my best, how could I not know?"
But he didn't want Chu Tang to suffer any harm because of him, let alone because of others - he was angry that Chu Tang didn't take good care of himself.
But Chu Tang didn't understand at all, he just thought that he was still angry because he favored the Eighth Prince, and said: "His Highness has left the capital, and probably won't shake the crown prince's throne, and I will never have another master. Rest assured, Your Highness."
Yu Ke looked at him sideways for a while, then turned his head away, and suddenly smiled: "Chu Tang, you are really...how can I say it?"
Chu Tang looked at him suspiciously.
Yu Ke sighed in his heart, that's all, even he couldn't figure out what he was thinking now, let alone Chu Tang.
He took a step forward and got closer to Chu Tang, holding the two reins with one hand and Chu Tang with the other, hugging his left arm in his arms.
"Your Highness?" Chu Tang asked uncertainly, "Your Highness is not angry with the minister?"
Yu Ke clung to him tightly, tilted his head and rubbed his shoulder, and snorted: "No, I'm angry, I'm so angry."
Chu Tang didn't take back his hand, letting the child grab and walk slowly with him.
Yu Ke said: "Empress Shen is going to die sooner or later, the students just took this step a little earlier, the teacher won't blame the students, right?"
Chu Tang shook his head: "The crown prince played a good game of chess, I feel ashamed."
There was a smile in Yu Ke's eyes: "Praise me again, the teacher always compliments me with words."
"The minister can also compliment His Highness in action."
Hearing what he said, Yu Ke straightened up, saw the horse he was leading with a smile on his lips, and said, "That's true."
The horse he was riding had a fierce and dark body, and its silver hooves were as white as treading smoke, so it was named Taxue.It was Chu Tang who sent him.It has been with Yu Ke since it was a little pony.
It was also at that time that he discovered that Chu Tang was not good at everything—Chu Tang could not ride a horse, so his riding and archery was not taught by Chu Tang.
In his mind, Chu Tang knows everything, he can govern the government, he can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he is omnipotent and proficient in everything.So when Chu Tang said he couldn't ride a horse, he was surprised: "Didn't the old master teach my brother?"
Chu Tang smiled and said, "I grew up in Mingyue Temple, my father didn't teach me how to ride and shoot."
Yu Ke hugged Chu Tang's thigh, raised his head and said, "Then brother and I will learn together, okay?"
So the teachers and students learned to ride horses together.
Chu Tang learned everything quickly, and so did Yu Ke, and the two learned it almost at the same time.
Later, Yu Ke gave Chu Tang a horse, which is the current Huoyun.
When picking out the horse, for some reason, he somehow felt that Chu Tang should ride a fiery red horse, which was shining brightly against Chu Tang's snowy skin and black hair, as if the blaze of fire could crush the master's indifference.
Thinking of this, a distant picture flashed through his mind—on a snowy night in the distance, that person rescued him from the Chimon people, sent him to the chariot of fiery red horses, sent him back to the capital, and sent him to meet Chu Tang .
In the past few days during the cold war, Yu Ke was full of unhappiness, but now that they have reconciled, he couldn't help but say: "The slaves in my palace are really useless, even my brother doesn't like it."
Chu Tang said: "It's me who insisted on going my own way, please don't punish them, the crown prince."
Now he is no longer a minister.Yu Ke muttered in his heart.Chu Tang was not so indifferent only when pleading for others.
But who told him to be his teacher? He always liked him and relied on him so much.
"Then teacher also compliment me in action?"
"Would you like to accompany His Royal Highness to race horses?"
"It's a good idea, you still have injuries. I will punish you to accompany me to race horses when you are done."
"But as His Highness orders."
----
The setting sun is gradually slanting and shining brightly, and the green grassland is covered with a thin layer of gold, yellow and green intersecting, swaying in the breeze.
The guards were guarding outside the paddock, listening to the galloping horses, one after the other, "da da" leveled the short grass, and there were laughter and laughter in the arena from time to time, full of pride.
"drive--"
"drive--"
The horses competed to gallop, Song Shuangcheng rode on the white horse, lowered his body, whipped the horse non-stop, stared at the two riders in front of him, and tried hard to catch up.
The fire clouds are like shooting stars, and the snow is like thunder and lightning. The competition is fierce, and there is no distinction between equals.Slowly, Taxue moved forward a little.When rushing towards the finish line, Huoyun strode past the black horse again.
The royal flag was waving in the wind, and during the banquet, delicacies were placed on the table, a dazzling array of beautiful things.The princes and ministers in their costumes watched and cheered at the same time, staring nervously at the finish line.
The end point is a small hill with a small flag fluttering in the wind.
Yu Ke and Chu Tang reached the finish line almost at the same time.
But the young man was faster, bent over, pulled out the flag neatly, reined in his horse and stopped, turned around and looked at Chu Tang with a smile.
Chu Tang also stopped his horse. Across the fence, he received the juvenile's joyful and proud eyes, and smiled: "Your Highness is brave, I admire you."
Received Chu Tang's praise as he wished, Yu Ke's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he said politely: "The national teacher's injury is just right, so it's not suitable to take the flag, so the students will do it for you."
With bright eyes, he handed the flag to Chu Tang.
Chu Tang looked at him, did not refuse, took the flag, and handed it to Li Yuansheng who came up to meet him.
Li Yuansheng smiled and said loudly: "His Royal Highness and the National Teacher are number one again!"
The courtiers who came over continued to congratulate.
Yu Ke said: "Famous teachers produce outstanding apprentices, don't you think so?"
The courtiers naturally said yes repeatedly.Yu Ke supported the horse's head with one hand, while looking at Chu Tang, his movements were casual and his gaze was like a torch.
Chu Tang said: "It was His Highness who took off the flag and won the first place. It is already better than blue."
The following horses crossed the finish line one after another, and the young masters of your family have only arrived now.Song Shuangcheng and others rode over slowly, stopped in front of Yu Ke, clasped their fists and said, "His Royal Highness has improved a lot in riding skills, and the ministers are really far behind."
……
The guard came to lead the horse, and the two of them turned over and got off the ground, talking and walking.
After a fierce horse race, Chu Tang's fence was slightly crooked.Yu Ke stretched out his hand to straighten him up, and said, "Brother, does the wound hurt?"
"No." Chu Tang shook his head, and the fence fluttered in the wind, slightly revealing the white chin and neck underneath, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, the wound is recovering very well."
For some reason, Yu Ke's mouth suddenly became parched.Obviously he was the one who wanted Chu Tang to wear a mask, but now he feels that it is good for Chu Tang to wear a mask. impulse.
He cleared his throat and said, "Brother, go to my palace to change."
Without waiting for Chu Tang to say anything, he turned his head, blinked and said, "I went to Zichen Palace with the prince for the last time."
Chu Tang was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
With a smile on the corner of the boy's lips, he grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go brother."
Li Yuansheng followed behind, heaving a sigh of relief and rejoicing that the two ancestors finally reconciled.
A few days ago, the prince had a cold face, irritable and irritable, and the servants had been living in dire straits, trembling with fear. Now this iceberg has finally melted. Thank God, thank you, the late emperor.
Zichen Palace.
Starting from tomorrow's enthronement ceremony, the prince will no longer be just a prince, but will become the emperor of Yu Bei, live in the emperor's historical palace of Qianqing, take charge of the government, and command the world.
As soon as Chu Tang changed into his clothes in the side hall, he heard all the palace servants behind him salute: "The prince is well."
As soon as the words fell, a pair of arms hugged him from behind, with a faint scent of ambergris, warm and pleasant.
In the bronze mirror, Yu Ke was dressed in a black prince's suit, which made his face look like a crown jade, making him even more handsome and unrestrained.
He put his chin on Chu Tang's shoulder, and gently put his arms around his waist from behind. Without waiting for Chu Tang to say anything, he took the belt in Xu Yi's hand with one hand, and said with a smile, "Let the students tie it for the teacher." .”
Chu Tang turned around, pushed him away, and said, "The crown prince has a precious body, how can he do these things..."
Caught off guard by something being robbed, Xu Yi pursed his lips and stood beside him with downcast eyes, like an air that didn't exist, but exuded an inexplicably sad breath, as if begging for the belt that originally belonged to him.
Seeing this, Yu Ke snorted in his heart.
Chu Tang couldn't see the undercurrent between them, so he just said: "Xu Yi's tie is pretty good, just let him do it."
"Does the teacher not allow students to do even such trivial things?" Yu Ke was able to look at Chu Tang at the same level, looked at him, a little wronged, and a little bit unrestrained, and said, "Maybe this is the last time. gone."
Chu Tang was taken aback, thinking of something, softened his attitude, nodded and said, "That's fine."
Xu Yi and the others retreated silently.
Yu Ke seemed to have won a battle and was so happy that he half-kneeled, compared the belt to Chu Tang's waist, and muttered, "Why is brother always so thin?"
He opened his palm again and said, "I can hold it with two hands."
Chu Tang thought he was joking, opened his hands, let Yu Ke tie the belt on him with peace of mind, and said slowly: "Women's waists are more slender, Your Highness will know later."
Before he finished speaking, he felt his waist tighten. Chu Tang lowered his head and met the child's angry eyes.
Yu Ke tightened his belt and said angrily, "How do you know, brother tried?"
try what?hug waist?Of course Chu Tang tried.
He is an actor, and it is common for him to hug actresses. Not to mention walking on the red carpet, he just had a drama when he debuted. The male protagonist he plays is a man with a strong boyfriend, whether he is domineering or gentle, he is handsome full.Once, during a quarrel, he pulled the hostess into his arms and kissed her, kissing and hugging each other—anyway, this kind of contact is commonplace.
But how can he tell Yu Ke about his professional experience?
He then said: "What you can see, you don't need to use your hands."
Hearing his words, Yu Ke let go, but still didn't believe it: "Really?"
He fastened his belt, stood up, and said: "The national teacher's celestial appearance, there are countless people in Beijing who love the national teacher, and there must be someone who recommends himself to be a pillow in a place where he can't see him alone. Brother is young and vigorous, can he still hold it ?”
All these things can be done with a belt.Chu Tang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "It's nothing, His Royal Highness."
Yu Ke was a little satisfied and a little dissatisfied, but he didn't know where his dissatisfaction was, so he took a step back and said, "Okay, Gu will believe it for now. Brother, don't lie to me."
"Naturally." Chu Tang nodded.
For convenience, when he came back, he replaced Mi Li and put on a silver mask.Yu Ke stood a little closer in front of him, his gaze rested on Chu Tang's slender neck, looking at his beautifully curved Adam's apple, and then he couldn't help swallowing.
His body was a little hot, and he thought what was wrong with him, why was he so strange?It seemed that looking at Chu Tang could relieve a little, but he seemed to become more agitated.
Chu Tang's words interrupted his thoughts: "Tomorrow's grand ceremony, is Your Highness ready?"
His voice was always cold, but it made Yu Ke's heart extremely warm.
Suppressing the restlessness, he said, "Students are ready. With my brother by my side, I'm not afraid of anything."
Ji Chutang said: "Your Highness will be a good monarch."
