hold this little monk

Black clouds were silent over a gorgeous mansion, and the moonlight was vaguely covered by lush ancient leaves. A man wrapped in a black cloak took advantage of the night to climb over the wall and enter the mansion with its closed gate.The words on the plaque of the mansion are sharp and profound, and there are three words written impressively - Princess Mansion.

There is only one princess in this era.

The cloaked man swayed after jumping over the wall, revealing his slightly chubby body. The dog in the mansion, Xun Weier, rushed over, and before he had time to bark, the cloaked man stuffed the dog with a bone Shocked, he fell obediently.

"My lord, hurry up, don't waste your time with the beasts." Suddenly a voice came from behind the trunk of the old tree.

The cloaked man patted the ashes off his body and followed the source of the sound.

The Eldest Princess Mansion is extravagant, and there are more than 30 people who make offerings. If it was an era when the princes and grandchildren were prosperous, no one would come to enshrine the hopeless Eldest Princess Highness.But it's a pity that the princes and grandsons were either exiled or picked out the jade certificate.

Otherwise, Zhang Xuchuan didn't want to serve such a mindless woman. As a woman and a mother and daughter, Her Majesty the Empress didn't know how smarter she was than the eldest princess Liu Yi.

As soon as Zhang Xuchuan entered the hall where the eldest princess entertained people, he was caught by the delicious wine and sex—how could there be an atmosphere of conspiracy?This is wishing that the whole city would know that the eldest princess made friends with ministers without permission?

"Could it be that His Majesty is too lazy to attack her because she is so stupid?" Zhang Xuchuan thought to himself.

Liu Yi wore a long white dress embellished with countless pearls, which contrasted sharply with her heavy makeup.She held a young man with red lips and white teeth in one hand, so chic and happy.

Liu Yi: "Why didn't your lord come in so late? Tonight is prepared by His Royal Highness for you alone. Don't be cautious and enjoy yourself!"

Zhang Xuchuan endured the ridicule in his heart, and asked in a good voice: "Princess, why do you want me to climb over the wall carefully? Why don't you open the door and let me in?"

"Master Zhang is telling a joke? If you open the door, won't others know that I have a private meeting with courtiers? Tomorrow those speech officials may scold me in some way." Liu Yi said.

Zhang Xuchuan listened to his words, and then looked at the dancer and pianist in the hall... A sense of sadness welled up in him.

Is it true that he is old and doesn't understand the thoughts of young people?So many unrelated people waiting here, what is the difference from opening the door?

The more Zhang Xuchuan thought about it, the more he felt uneasy. After thinking about it, he felt that offending the princess was a trivial matter. At most, he would form a relationship with the eldest princess. If the officer stabbed the matter to His Majesty tomorrow, the sky would collapse. down.

With cold sweat on his forehead, he said: "Your Highness, I have been busy with many tasks today, and I don't think you have anything urgent, why don't we talk next time, and then I will invite you to the best restaurant!"

Liu Yi showed displeasure: "How can you be so over the top? This princess has prepared so much on purpose. If you have something to say, please tell me as soon as possible."

I want to know that you are so stupid, I will not let you prepare.Zhang Xuchuan buried his head and belly to slander, but he could only apologize again and again, but his steps became bigger and bigger, trying to escape.

At this moment, a hand grabbed him.

"When did Mr. Zhang become so timid? Don't worry, things won't get out."

Zhang Xuchuan was shaken by someone's grasp, and immediately felt that the man's hands were strong, and he looked like a person with high military strength, but this was not important, and the voice of this person was very familiar to him.

He looked back suspiciously, only to see that man's cloak deepened, hidden in the darkness, Zhang Xuchuan would never have noticed this man if he hadn't taken the initiative to attack.

"Old prince!" Zhang Xuchuan blurted out.

The person he called the old prince snorted coldly: "What? You dog slaves have been kneeling at that woman's feet for a long time, have you forgotten who you are really loyal to?"

Zhang Xuchuan was in a bad mood, and said tremblingly, "You...you shouldn't be in the northeast? Why did you leave without authorization?"

The old prince Liu Shanhua is the only member of the royal family of the late emperor's generation who has survived to this day. As early as the late emperor ruled, he had already been exiled in the northeast wasteland thousands of miles away.

And before that, Liu Shanhua had promoted a young Jinshi who was squeezed out by everyone. The Jinshi's surname was Zhang and his name was Xu Chuan.

"He's been away for five or six years, what's the fuss." Liu Yi said to the old prince with a smile, "Uncle Huang, let's go in and talk."

The old prince looked at her dotingly: "You go in first, I will talk to Master Zhang."

"Okay." Liu Yi hurried back to her gentle hometown, and she was extremely considerate in every face, taking care of people more meticulously than a girl.

Zhang Xuchuan was silent, he just wanted to spread his wings and fly away from the sea of ​​flames. He was only invited by the eldest princess to discuss state affairs, but he never thought that he would see the old prince Liu Shanhua who fled in fear of crime here. What kind of Buddha did you go to?

Liu Shanhua patted him on the shoulder: "I know Mr. Zhang doesn't want to have anything to do with treason, but Mr. Zhang came here tonight, do you still think you can escape?"

Zhang Xuchuan's expression became more and more icy, and his heart also became more and more cold: "My lord, what does this mean?"

"Follow us, the eldest princess and I will not treat you badly." The old prince chuckled, "I know there are a lot of your eyeliners in the palace. You want glory and wealth, and the eldest princess wants her throne. We each take what we need .”

Zhang Xuchuan had nowhere to go, he was sweating profusely, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and pretended to be calm: "Why doesn't your lord tell me what you want? It's no fun just talking about the two of us."

"Me?" Every wrinkle on his 50-year-old face darkened, and he sneered, "I don't have any other ambitions, it's just that I have been sitting on the dragon chair for a long time by a woman who is not from the Liu family, so I finally feel unwilling."

"..." Zhang Xuchuan: "So what does His Highness mean?"

"Of course," Liu Shanhua raised the corners of his mouth, looking at the stretch of palaces in the distance with a fierce look in his eyes, "take back what belongs to us."

----

Yu Hao and Bi Kong stayed in the palace for a day and a night, until the painting was presented to Shi Yang, and Shi Yang personally stamped the handprint of Ziling Palace, and they were sent away from the palace by Xiaoxuan.

This time we can have a good parting, but after eight years, Xiaoxuan is already a big boy, and there is no way for Yu Hao to hold him in his arms again.

The palace gate is right in front of you, and you don't know how long it will take to see you again after you go out, Yu Hao hesitates and takes out a bag of candies from his arms, puts it in Xiaoxuan's hand, and said with a forced smile: "Father knows that you have difficulties, We are waiting for you to come back, you have to be well."

Xiaoxuan's nose was sore, he held it back forcibly, maintained a smile on his face, nodded and said: "I'm not here, father and mother should take care of themselves."

Although he doesn't know when he will be released from the palace, he may stay in the palace for a lifetime like Shi Yang.

From the beginning to the end, Bi Kong stood outside the two with his eyes downcast and his hands behind his back, quietly waiting for the parting.This made Xiao Xuan, who wanted to hug him, unable to do anything, Bi Kong raised his eyes and looked at him, but he couldn't even say a few goodbyes.

There was restraint and forbearance hidden in his eyes, and he became more and more polite.Xiaoxuan knew that he was like this when he was a child, so he took the initiative to walk over. He raised his hand to touch his head, but suddenly found that Bi Kong was already as tall as him, so he had no choice but to pat his shoulders instead.

"Take care of yourself." Xiaoxuan twitched his lips and joked, "Don't forget, you have to get rid of the shackles in order to be with your sweetheart."

Hearing this, Bi Kong pursed his lips and looked at him wanting to laugh, feeling a little helpless, finally nodded and said firmly: "It's natural, brother should take care of himself, come out early, the palace...is not suitable for you."

Xiao Xuan shook his head: "Let's talk about it when the time comes, don't be in a hurry, are you still afraid that I will become those old monsters who cannibalize people in the palace?"

Bi Kong guessed this answer, no surprise, said softly: "No, I know you will not change."

Xiaoxuan paused, and quickly waved his hands to deny: "Don't say that, I don't want to disappoint you."

"No." Bi Kong shook his head, wanted to grab his hand, but abruptly stopped in mid-air and let it go, "I will not disappoint my brother."

Hearing what he said, Xiaoxuan didn't know what kind of expression he should show to face it, and with his usual heartless smile, he himself felt sorry for such a remark.

"Bi Kong, I..."

"Brother told so many lies when we first met, didn't I feel disappointed?" Bi Kong raised the corner of his mouth, "I was also not disappointed when I saw how embarrassing my brother was when he climbed the wall and couldn't jump off... umm ? What did brother want to say just now?"

"..." Xiaoxuan, "You've learned badly!"

The corner of Bi Kong's mouth raised, and he said lightly: "It's my brother who taught me well."

Both of them smiled and jokingly exchanged greetings, but they both knew in their hearts that they didn't have much time left, only the gradually dimming clouds in the sky and the guard who stood still and looked like they were about to stab them to death were reminding them. They had to separate.

Xiaoxuan hesitated for a while, but still hugged Bi Kong, patted the monk on the back hard, and said: "Don't give up, keep it until the clouds open to see the moonlight."

Caught off guard by being hugged in his arms, smelling the unknown fragrance, Bi Kong froze, his ears were red, he almost couldn't hide his frightened expression, and almost revealed his small thoughts, he replied awkwardly: "...Okay .”

"Let's go." Xiaoxuan patted him on the back, half-seriously, half-jokingly, "Don't think about me, you can't afford it!"

Yu Hao waited for the two big boys to say goodbye until the guard couldn't bear it anymore and came over to urge him.Bi Kong hesitated for a long time, and then mustered up the courage to take off the Buddhist beads in his hand and put them on Xiaoxuan's wrist before turning to leave. .

"This is a return gift."

After he finished speaking, he left with Yu Hao without looking back, his back was just facing the soft light of the setting sun, the golden light was plated on his monk's gray clothes, but his charm remained undiminished, and he even had the slightest sense of independence from the world .

Xiaoxuan was stunned for a moment, the beads of Buddha were pressed against his wrist, with the temperature of Bi Kong's skin, his Adam's apple rolled, and the unspeakable touch came to his heart again, and he laughed at himself: "Take my expensive earrings and give them to me. A string of ugly wooden beads? Really a fake monk who can’t settle accounts and worry about money.”
