Thousands of Mountains

Until more than half an hour later, two guards of the forbidden army and a gold-plated carriage drove to the main gate. The forbidden army stood in line. The curtain on the carriage was lifted, and a small jade white hand stretched out. Eunuch Ai, who was guarding the door, hurried over and handed it over. He raised his elbow to put on airs, but he didn't want to be pushed away by that little hand, "Go away, I don't need you."

After Mr. Ai backed away, Yin Cen secretly raised his eyes to take a look, and saw a little boy wrapped like a rice dumpling crookedly coming out of the carriage. The carriage was slightly higher than the ground. The little man thought for a while and jumped up. .

Following Yin Cen, I saw an unforgettable scene in his life - the road that had rained two days ago was not completely dry, and the low-lying places were frozen into ice by the cold weather, and the little prince jumped onto the ice just like that, with his feet tilted , was carried by a piece of ice and slid into the distance...

The crown prince let out a series of high-pitched and loud exclamations, and everyone in the yard was stunned, but they didn't move at all. Eunuch Ai, who came to his senses, rushed over, but it was too late. The prince fell firmly to the ground.

Yin Cen covered his eyes, but couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing the butler staring at him fiercely, he could only hold back his laughter.

But I thought in my heart, "This stupid baby with jade carvings and powder is the crown prince Chen Ji?"

Unexpectedly, the prince was already standing in the courtyard, looking at everyone with round eyes, scanning them one by one, not knowing what he was looking for, after a while rubbing his nose with his little hand, his immature childish voice roared into a lion's roar , "The one who laughed out loud just now, stand up for me!"

Unexpectedly, an unforgettable moment came, and everyone swiped to look at Yin Cen. Yin Cen lowered his head and stood back, shaking his voice deliberately, "Yes, yes, it's me."

The little Zongzi looked up and down, and Eunuch Ai hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "Your Highness, this is the personal guard servant I just bought for you from Nancheng today. If you don't want those people in the palace, I will choose them for you." I got the cleanest, whitest and most powerful one." Eunuch Ai twitched the corner of his mouth, and leaned closer and said, "If you're going to get angry, you can hit me any way you want, this bastard, you can't resist pumping—"

Yin Cen took a breath secretly, the little prince of feelings still has secret hobbies that are unknown?

Only then did His Royal Highness slow down, and said to Yin Cen in a cold voice, "Come with me!" After saying that, he staggered across the front yard and walked towards the back room.

The people in the room also followed in a mighty way, halfway through, the prince suddenly turned around and shouted, "Everyone else is gone." Pointing to Yin Cen, "Just you, follow me, don't go anywhere."

Then he said to Eunuch Ai, "Let the kitchen prepare some of my favorite dishes and send them to the bedroom."

"Come on!" The servants dispersed in a hurry, and Eunuch Ai ran to the kitchen in a dizzy manner.

Yin Cen followed behind and stepped into the prince's bedroom. The whole room was clean and simple, without the usual complicated and complicated royal family. Except for the necessary bright yellow embellishments, the rest were high-quality but not exaggerated home furnishings. Who is making arrangements, Yin Cen silently praised his good aesthetics and good taste in his heart.

His Royal Highness also walked around with his eyes wandering, looking satisfied, then sat down on a huanghuali Luohan couch, supported the short table beside him, and glared at Yin Cen, "Come closer. "

Yin Cen moved over respectfully, stood still in front of the prince, lowered his hands, lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes were obedient.

But he didn't want to hear the crisp, childish voice of the villain in front of him, "My name is Chen Ji, and I'm the current prince."

Yin Cen raised his head violently, wanting to say "I know", but felt it was wrong, and for a moment didn't know what expression to use to face the prince who suddenly confessed and suddenly himself.

Chen Ji looked at Yin Cen who was stunned in place, frowned, and said with disgust and hesitation, "Since Eunuch Ai picked you, I thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect to be so stupid."

Yin Cen was taken aback for another moment, and blurted out, "I'm not stupid!" Feeling angry, he didn't know who stupidly fell down in public just a moment ago.

Chen Ji's small face moved slightly, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Then what will you do?"

"I will... study, ride horses, wrestle, fight, swim, and shoot archery." Yin Cen finished speaking in one breath, the face of the villain in front of him was faintly excited, his eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and when he didn't utter bad words, he was really a jade carving Very handsome boy.

Chen Ji changed his eyes to look at Yin Cen again, and also felt that the young house slave in front of him bought from a Nancheng trafficker was indeed born with a fair face, soft eyebrows and eyes, and a soft and pleasant voice when he spoke, and he was not very afraid of himself. This, especially good.

"How old are you?" Chen Ji asked loudly.

"Thirteen." Yin Cen raised his head to meet Chen Ji's gaze.

"I'm ten years old, how do you know those kung fu?" Chen Ji asked again.

"I..." Yin Cen used Wu Ye'er's rhetoric in a flash, "My mother saw that I couldn't study, so she found a martial artist to teach me Kung Fu, and I walked darts with them..."

"Okay," Chen Ji waved his hand, as if impatient to hear more, "Eunuch Ai said your family is from Chaha Town?"

"Yes."

"That town is gone, from now on, you can follow me."

"it is good."

"Will you protect people?" Chen Jiyou asked in doubt.

"Yes - but, is there anyone who wants to hurt His Highness the Crown Prince?" Yin Cen thought of the only person he had protected in this life, Yin Cistan, feeling like a thorn in his heart.Although he had heard Shen Cang briefly talk about Chen Ji's situation before, Yin Cen wanted to hear what Chen Ji himself had to say, but suddenly thought, ten years old?The head is too small.

Chen Ji bit his lip and was about to speak, when there were two knocks on the door, he asked, "The hot dishes in the kitchen are ready, would your Highness want to eat at this time?"

"come in."

The servants and maids placed five or six delicate dishes on the low table in the middle of the Luohan couch, including white jade tofu, pan-fried small yellow croaker, grilled mutton, clear water shrimp, a bowl of emerald egg custard, and a pot of warm fermented rice.

After all the servants retreated, Chen Ji took out a small porcelain vase from his sleeve, took out a silver needle from it, and looked at the dishes one by one before picking up the chopsticks to eat.

Seeming to be starving, the little man hula-la buried his head and ate for a while, then stopped and wiped his mouth with a scented handkerchief, heaved a sigh of relief, and said to Yin Cen, "I was killed by the empress—— The queen was kicked out of the palace."

Yin Cen didn't speak, and waited for the next sentence.

Chen Ji sighed, restrained his expression and continued, "The current empress is not my biological mother. My biological mother was the former empress Chunhui, who died of illness when I was young... I was brought up by the empress, and the empress treated me very well. It’s okay for her own son. When I made mistakes with my imperial brother, I was always the one who was not punished, but I know that there is a difference between inside and outside. The Queen treats me well, maybe it’s just to gain a reputation, Now that I’m being sent far away earlier, the prince will have the prince’s presence in name when he’s old, maybe it’s just to keep me far away from my father.”

Chen Ji pointed to the outside of the house again, "I can't trust any of those people outside, they were all sent to monitor me." He looked at Yin Cen, "Only you are not, you are mine."

Yin Cen's heart moved slightly, and he asked, "Does the emperor not care?"

"Father..." Chen Ji mentioned his father, his face even more helpless, "Father never asks me too much."

Yin Cen thought to himself, now he doesn't look like a ten-year-old ignorant doll anymore, he has a clear mind, and the arrogant and dandyism of feelings is for outsiders to see.

Chen Ji didn't know where to look with his faint eyes, and he didn't know where to drift his mind. In this huge and dangerous imperial city, he has no one he can trust, only Eunuch Ai, who followed his biological mother, Queen Chunhui In the past ten years, he can be regarded as a person who can talk, but after all...

The current empress Qiu Yiren, who succeeded to the throne, really cared for Chen Ji as if she was her own, but seeing her own son Chen Yi growing up into a playboy who only knew how to play, the two who were with Chen Ji were very different from each other. Under the circumstances, she became more and more naive and incompetent. The queen sighed and wept all day long, and it was difficult to smile at Chen Ji.This time Chen Ji was allowed to leave the palace to seal the mansion, under the banner of supporting the independence of the prince, his inner thoughts were hard to fathom. With tears, those who see it are sad.

But the current emperor Ning Jingdi Chen Ze gave the crown prince Chen Ji the title, the food and clothing that the prince should have, and the education of the emperor's teacher, but there is nothing more.Rumor has it that Emperor Ning Jing and the former Empress Chunhui were deeply in love with each other, and the harem was almost exclusively favored by the empress. I don't know why, after the death of Empress Chunhui, the only prince Chen Ji left behind was not favored by Emperor Ning Jing. The emperor even summoned him alone. At least, Chen Ji deserves to be the crown prince, and even the eunuchs in the palace dare to talk about it behind his back: in name but in reality.

Chen Ji came back to his senses, at some point Yin Cen approached him slowly, he looked up at him, Yin Cen frowned and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Chen Ji moved his lips, but before he could say anything, Yin Cen put his hand on his shoulder, his eyes were firm, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Chen Ji didn't know why he believed it. This young guard who just met today, who was not a few years older than him, had safety and trust in his eyes and breath that he had never felt before. He nodded heavily towards the other party.

Chen Ji pointed to the back of his bedroom, "There is also a dark room here, how about you sleep here every day? Then I can find you anytime."

"Okay." Yin Cen nodded, thought for a while and said, "I have to go out tonight, go, get something."

"take what"

"The Green Mountain Blade."

"What is the Green Mountain Blade?"

"My knife, a very fast knife, with it, you can rest easy."

"Then hurry up and wait for you to come back."

Chen Ji's face under the candlelight was a little warmer, and his eyes were full of anticipation.

Yin Cen thought of Yin Dian's face again, looking at him with the same expectant and trusting eyes, he tried his best but failed to protect Yin Dian, and now facing another pair of exactly the same eyes, he could no longer say no .

In the middle of the night, Yin Cen changed into his night clothes, leaped lightly from the roof and galloped out. A black shadow in the night sky blew past like the wind, and he landed firmly in Shen Cang's courtyard.

Shen Cang opened the door and sat in the middle, as if he knew that he would come tonight.

Like a real assassin, Shen Cang asked extremely concise questions.

"how?"

"smoothly."

"No suspicion?"

"Even in doubt, there is no choice."

"This is wrong. Doubt is doubt, and it will become a big problem in the future."

"There is no doubt about it."

"you……"

Shen Cang was speechless, and the apprentice he taught had to bear it with tears in his eyes.

"How is he?" Shen Cang started another topic.

"Pretty, cute." Yin Cen thought for a while, then added, "Lonely."

"Yo, your tone seems to have feelings." Shen Cang squinted his eyes.

"Yo, your tone seems to be jealous." Yin Cen raised his eyebrows.

"Forget it, you've grown up, safety comes first, and caution comes first." Shen Cang looked serious.

"I understand, I will report the news to you at any time, don't worry." Yin Cen also replied seriously, looking at Shen Cang seriously, "He is a good boy."

Shen Cang chuckled, and threw the green mountain blade with one hand, "Take it, and protect your good boy."

"It's necessary, I'm leaving, take care." Yin Cen looked at Shen Cang for a moment, then turned around and fell into the darkness.

Shen Cang waved out the candle and continued to sit in the room for a while.I protected you back then, and now your wings are growing, and you will eventually have someone to protect.

There was a vague, thoughtful smile at the corner of his mouth.
