hold this little monk

Just after Bi Kong said those words, there was movement outside the window.

"My Ah Ling is really getting smarter!" Liu Yan leaped in and approached with a smile, "How do you know I'm outside?"

The coldness in Bikong's eyes faded away, and he pointed to the window with a smile: "Shadow. Shouldn't the emperor be in northern Xinjiang?"

"You still call me Uncle Emperor, I will be picked out by your grandma." Liu Yan snatched the wooden sword from Bi Kong's hand, swiped twice, the sword wind was strong, and he curled his lips in disdain, "I call Lao He to give it to you." Send me a good sword."

Bi Kong was noncommittal, and asked: "How about my... father and mother? The emperor must have seen them, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Yan's sword-playing hand stopped, his eyes were cold, and the wooden sword was broken by his excessive force.

A bad premonition arose spontaneously, and Bi Kong held back and clenched his fists: "What's wrong with my parents?"

Hearing Bi Kong's voice, Liu Yan's expression softened a little, but he still couldn't hide his hostility. He shook his head and said, "My brother accidentally got sick before, and those dog officials didn't seek a doctor. He is still in a coma for the time being. But don't worry, I've already taken your father, queen, mother and concubine into the barracks, those dog officials in the north, sooner or later, my king...huh."

Bi Kong's eyelashes trembled, and his eyes were lowered with an unclear expression: "Thank you, Uncle Huang. In the future, A Ling will try his best to repay Uncle Huang."

Liu Yan was stunned, he realized that he shouldn't have imposed these things on a child, let alone told him.

At this time, he obviously should lie in the luxurious palace and rest carefree, instead of discussing family and country affairs with himself in the cold meditation room here.

Liu Yan, who found out his conscience, hesitated for a while, and hugged his nephew in his arms—although he hated this kind of intimate gesture, this was his brother's child, so it was different.

It's no problem to let Liu Yan go into battle to kill people, but let him comfort others...it's really embarrassing for him.

He comforted lamely: "Uh... I don't need you to repay me. You grow up well, and you will be safe, happy and healthy all your life. I am worthy of my brother, and that is the best repayment for me. In fact, my brother's situation is not so... bad, cough , this king has found a doctor, and he will be fine."

"Well, it's going to be fine."

"Don't worry, I will definitely reunite your family." Liu Yan said firmly, holding the thin little man in his arms, he suddenly realized what it means to be distressed, and a feeling called powerlessness came to his heart, he said, " I can only lurk in while Wuchao is not here, I am afraid I will not be able to come in the future, and I will rush back to northern Xinjiang tomorrow."

"It's okay." Bi Kong took off the peace talisman on his neck, "Please uncle, give this to my father. I asked Master Wuchao to do it himself."

Surprise flashed across Liu Yan's eyes, and he rubbed Bi Kong's head vigorously: "Good boy."

He suddenly remembered Bi Kong who lived in Prince Yi's Mansion back then, who was ignorant of everything and had a cute and cute temper. At that time, he would believe what others told him, instead of the present one who was so vigilant that he could even hide the shadow behind the window. You can see it clearly.

"I didn't take good care of your family."

"The emperor's words are serious."

How could Bi Kong not understand Liu Yan's melancholy? Even he himself doubted whether he had grown up too fast.

……

As the sky was getting bright, Liu Yan babbled on a lot of interesting things about the frontier until he had to leave before resolutely leaving

I don't know how long it will take to see you again.Bi Kong didn't feel sleepy at all, closed the wooden window with dark circles under his eyes, and lay on the bed, the events of the past year went through his mind like a revolving lantern.

In the end, I couldn't help but murmured with a smile: "Why am I sending others away."

But I have been restrained all the time, I can't go out anywhere, I can't breathe, any child in this kind of life will be defeated long ago.

But he was different, he thought, he must be different from most people.

Like the elder brother who kicked open the door of his room that day and told him a lot of lies, they were different from most people.

------

Xiaoxuan had long thought that realist paintings would cause a great uproar here, but he never thought that it was him who caused the uproar.

After the state banquet, he followed the eunuch into the queen's palace.Shi Yang was also a lover, fearing that he would offend the empress, he accompanied him to the door without hesitation, and babbled along the way.

"Be careful what you say then."

"Don't make a mistake and call out the disrespectful name in your heart!"

"Put away your usual irritating energy, and don't show that smile that makes people want to beat you up."

Xiaoxuan's original nervousness was all gone by his verbosity, if not for a servant leading the way, he might have already run away.

It was a relief to enter the Queen's Palace for the first time.

"Okay." Xiaoxuan sighed, "Teacher, if you go on, you can even choose the name of my future baby."

Shi Yang's kindness was treated like a donkey's liver and lungs, and he hummed twice: "I don't know what is good and what is bad, so go in!"

Xiaoxuan couldn't help laughing, followed the servant into the palace gate, stopped after a few steps, hesitated for a while, turned around, and bowed to Shi Yang.

Shi Yang's hand stroking his beard stopped, his lips trembled, and all his complicated emotions turned into a long sigh, and he spit it out.

The queen bought herself a delicate and elegant small room, which contained countless paintings by the painters of Ziling Palace. Xiaoxuan took it easy to watch the queen hang the portraits he drew in a conspicuous position.

This is really flattering, how can his painting compare with those superb Chinese painting masters... Xiaoxuan thought with shame

"You researched this yourself?" The queen turned her back to him, and her voice sounded like she was in a good mood.

Xiaoxuan said the answer that he had thought about a long time ago: "I thought about it with Teacher Shi. Without the help of Teacher Shi, I couldn't do it."

The queen laughed lightly: "You don't take the credit, thank you."

"...Thank you Lord Long En." Xiaoxuan knelt down in a daze.

Is the monarch so rich these days, he rewards him for saying anything?

Wu Zhongqian winked, two eunuchs behind him moved a small box and put it in front of him, one of the eunuchs was Wu Shi, and smiled at him.Seeing Wu Shi's smile, Xiaoxuan only felt goose bumps.

The queen turned around and helped him up, saying: "I really appreciate your unique idea. If you can keep going, you will be the heir of Shi Yang."

"The minister will do his best."

The target is close at hand, Xiaoxuan is afraid of saying the wrong thing, so he is more cautious.

The queen nodded: "Dynasty has changed for 1000 years, but traditional Chinese paintings have remained unchanged. I want to add something unique to this era. Your painting came just in time. In the future, you will move out of Ziling Palace and live near me. Rihezhen will report your progress, this is a heavy responsibility, Shi Qing will be with you, can you take it?"

Xiaoxuan hastily knelt down: "I will not hesitate to do so."

"You are so glib at such a young age." The empress shook her head with a smile, and turned to look at her confidant, "Wu Zhongqian, you start to arrange the residence of their master and apprentice."

"The slave obeys the order."

"Okay, let's kneel down."

Xiaoxuan floated out of the palace, Shi Yang leaned against the red wall drowsy, cold snow scum remained on his beard.

Steve is such a nice guy.

Xiaoxuan suppressed his smile, lowered his eyes and mouth, walked to Shi Yang's side in silence, and gently tugged at his sleeve: "Teacher, wake up."

Shi Yang trembled and woke up. Seeing Xiaoxuan's frowning face, he said distressedly: "How? Did the empress blame you again? Oh, the empress never embarrasses children, are you smiling unnecessarily?"

Xiaoxuan almost didn't hold back, continued to be frustrated, lowered his head and lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "Thanks to the teacher's love, but Xiaoxuan is sorry for the teacher, I'm afraid..."

Shi Yang gasped, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that the empress wants to expel you from the palace? No, how did you offend Your Majesty?"

"It's not to drive me out of the palace." Xiaoxuan shook his head, the slightest smile finally couldn't hold back, he pursed his lips to reveal two dimples, raised his eyes, his eyes were dotted, "It's just that the old man is suffering, In the future, I will have to explore new types of painting under the same roof with the students every day. The teacher hates Xiaoxuan's smile so much, and I am sorry for forcing the teacher to live with me-wow...I was wrong. Wrong...don't hit me on the long street!"

Wu Shi held a box of rewards from Xiaoxuan according to the order, silently watched the backs of the old and the young splashing on the icy snow, weighed the weight of the box in his hand, and couldn't help laughing: "If your majesty sees that these two people are so unreliable Looks like, will my intestines be regretful?"
