Chapter 141: He’s still a child

The crown prince was wearing a fox fur, rushing up the corridor outside the hall with the wind and snow, and carefully measured his own readers from the hair strands to the tips of the boots, before revealing a smile.

Su Yan looked at his face of snow foam, the eyebrows and eyelashes are dyed as frost color, just raised his hand to brush, found that his hands are coated with dried ointment, so he changed to use the cuffs gently swept a few times, smiled and shook his head, “Little master filial piety can be shown, but can not not not cherish the body ah.”

Zhu Hailin smelled the light fragrance coming from Su Yan’s sleeve, obviously a proper smell of herbal soap, but he could not help but feel his chest chagrin hot, and even his ears were reddened. He pressed down the restlessness in the depths of his body and said in a hoarse voice: “Hungry? Let’s go, follow Little Master to have a meal.”

Su Yan thought of not stepping into the East Palace for a long time, but also some shame, then promised to thank the grace.

He also said to Lan Xi, ”Eunuch Lan, His Imperial Highness is no longer in any serious trouble at the moment, but he still needs to rest more and work less. There are several other medicinal dishes that aid in the treatment of neurological headaches, like Dan Di Porridge, Yuan Zhi Jujube Soup, and Sour Jujube Seed Decoction with Lily. Usually, in addition to hot compresses, can also be used to white chrysanthemum decoction boiled and poured into a basin, while hot fumigation of the head, the effect is good. I’ll write down the recipe and usage later and have the Eastern Palace Servant send it over.”

Lan Xi laughed and said, “Imperial Minister Su has a heart.”

The heart is there, but unfortunately always refused to offer, small master and love to stir up the situation, I do not know when the royal master can get what he wants! The world’s first king is worried about the humiliation of the official regretfully think so.

The crown prince was overjoyed, went to hold Su Yan’s hand, changed his gesture halfway, took his arm, and without calling for a shoulder moped, he walked quickly in the direction of Duanben Palace.

His footsteps became faster and faster, turning into a trot. Su Yan was dragged by him, couldn’t help but call out: “Little master slow down, don’t lose the etiquette of the Crown Prince.” In fact, because he wore official clothes, big sleeves pocket wind can not run fast, worried about looking at the obvious lousy.

Zhu Hailin laughed as he ran, “Does it look like the first time you went to the palace? I also dragged you like this, and went to see the Western self-tolling bell with me. In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed!”

Su Yan was also quite emotional in his heart. He watched the crown prince grow from a junior high school brat to a …… junior high school brat today? Well, in fact, it can’t be considered a brat anymore, it already has very much the look and temperament of a young man. One could imagine that in another year or two, the crown prince’s vigorous and heroic appearance when he became an adult, and he himself was oiled with a sense of fulfillment of being involved in irrigating the country’s successor.

Outside the corridor snow flakes flying, the two under the corridor but like a pair of carefree little teenagers running in the spring field, with light laughter rushed into the Duanben Palace, followed by a string of lamplighter service.

As soon as he entered the hall, Zhu Hailin embraced Su Yan in his arms, “I can’t hold back the little master! When we first met, we wanted to hug you, in front of so many people in the Yangxin Palace, and I’m afraid that you think I’m not stable, and now that the door is closed in our own territory, we can finally hug a little bit.”

Su Yan struggled twice, did not break out. After all, the Prince played a small good martial arts, especially favorite angle against, practiced a handful of strength, at least crushed a young scholar no problem. Su Yan gasped and said: “let go let go, strangle me!”

Zhu Hailin Fang loosened his grip a bit and rubbed his chin against the nape of his neck joyfully.

Until the excitement dispersed out, only then let go of him, and again compared the two head is in the plucking it. In the future, the little master will be taller than father, do you believe it?”

Su Yan smiled and nodded, her stomach bone-chillingly empty. Zhu Hailin hurriedly ordered the palace staff to lay out the dishes.

East Palace has its own private kitchen, dishes have long been ready, waiting for the Prince to return to the Palace. After a command, immediately after a palace people with hot dishes and hot soup up, Lin Lang set a full table.

Su Yan’s hands were coated with ointment, and he could not wash water for six hours, so he could not hold chopsticks or spoons well, so a palace maid took the initiative to stand beside him and serve him. However, he really did not have the heart to let the little girl feed again, and after repeatedly excusing himself, he used his chopsticks to clip the food to prove that he could do it, but the result was less than two strokes, and slid his chopsticks down to the ground.

Zhu Hailin laughed so hard that he stumbled, and said to the palace maid, “You all go down, he’s embarrassed.”

After the palace people exited the hall, Zhu Hailin moved to Su Yan’s side and personally gave him food.

Su Yan’s old face was red, resolutely refused, the crown prince cheekily insisted on stuffing it into his mouth. The two laughed and laughed as they finished their evening meal, washed up, and drank antidiabetic flower and fruit tea.

Da Ming’s first set of western chess was placed on the kang table, and Zhu Hailin familiarly crossed his legs on the Luohan couch, patting the surface of the couch and signaling Su Yan to come up as well.

The two played against each other while having a chat.

Prince bragged about how much he had learned and what skills he had grown in the past six months; Su Yan told him some anecdotes about his time in Shaanxi, especially when it came to the grandeur of the horse race in Qing Shui camp and the unlucky appearance of those officials, Prince simply laughed until his head fell off.

“The!” After Zhu Hailin finished his evaluation, he coldly asked, “I heard that when you were about to arrive at the capital, you rested overnight in the Hot Dragon Valley in Daxing County, soaking in the hot springs?”

Su Yan was startled, his hand was slightly stagnant, and then slowly pressed the black phase down, raising his eyes to look at him: “Where did I hear the rumors?”

Zhu Hailin quite close to the white cannon, want to bombard a black phase, said casually: “It is not the wind rumors. There is a black charcoal head in the imperial brocade guards, father quite trusts him, this time went with you to Shaanxi, called …… what is it?”

“Chu Yuan.”

“Yes, yes, that’s him. He went back to the palace this day to resume his orders to Father, just after the court, in the imperial study.”

Su Yan’s fingers rubbed the black phase, “When he just got off the court, didn’t the emperor have a headache attack and still summon Chu Yuan?”

“Just after the dynasty that moment, father is actually okay. I was also present at the meeting, Shanxi commander-in-chief reported things I know, although my father is angry at the wara to go back on their word, secretly making tricks, but also do not see how angry. Father has always been good, I think, at that time I heard more angry than him.”

An unsettling premonition floated up in Su Yan’s heart, “So it was after summoning Chu Yuan that the seizure occurred?”

“I think so.” Zhu Helin drank a mouthful of flower and fruit tea, and didn’t urge the other party to move, just stared at the black phase in Su Yan’s hand, “After the court, I accompanied my father to go to the imperial study, and it just so happened that Chu Yuan came in, and my father just casually found an excuse to send me out. I’m not sure how easy it is for me to be sent away, so I eavesdropped outside the door for a few moments.”

“What did Little Master hear?” Su Yan asked with bated breath.

Zhu Hailin didn’t answer directly and asked instead, “Have you thought about which step to take?”

Su Yan “oh” sound, do not care to think about the chess road, casually play a move.

Zhu Hailin secretly pinched the cannon in his hand and said as if carelessly, “Chu Yuan first praised you hard in public affairs, and then said that you ……”

“…… not practicing private virtue?” Su Yan sank his face.

Zhu Hailin laughed, “Where, it says that you are impeccable from your virtue to your disposition. Only ……”

Su Yan stretched his long legs toward the couch, “No more games. I haven’t seen you for half a year, but you’ve gotten rusty, and you’re stumbling over your words. Since this is the case, I won’t be here to get in your way, so I’ll hurry home while the palace gates aren’t keyed down.”

Zhu Hailin overplayed his hand, not wanting to annoy him, busy pulling back: “Okay, okay, I’m happy to say it’s not okay. Really, I still say you are good natured.”

“I have a bad temperament?”

“It’s good, but it’s all for others! You’re good to Father, aren’t you? You’re as good as a cat, but why are you so mean to me? The emperor is your king, but I’m not, huh?”

Su Yan snorted a laugh, “It is the king, the heir king. I honor and love it in my heart.”

“Fart! You still think Little Master is a child.” Zhu Hailin pressed his hand back down on the kang table, “Keep going down! I’ll continue.”

Su Yan poured him a cup of tea to curry favor.

Chu He Lin said, “Chu Yuan said that you have accepted a martial arts expert from the jianghu as a personal bodyguard and have an ambiguous relationship with him.

“It also said that when you were soaking in the hot springs in the capital county, that the guards suddenly broke into the soup pool and fought with a man of unknown origin. That man was not fully clothed at that time, and you also just hurriedly dressed, I do not know what is the relationship with that person, but did not voice the alarm.

“He suspected that your personal guards were fighting because they were jealous of that man. In the end, you even rounded up the fight yourself and let the man go.”

“‘Lord Su has both virtue and talent, loyalty and righteousness, only his nature is sentimental, in vain he tires of people’s lovesickness.’ Chu Yuan finally summarized it this way.”

The crown prince finished his sentence in one breath and glared at Su Yan with a puff of air, ”Little master really didn’t see that you are still an amorous child! What exactly is your relationship with the personal guard? And what is the origin of that wild man who appeared in the soup kitchen? Tell me!”

Su Yan’s heart was pounding, but his face was more and more calm: “A guard is a guard, and I am naturally the relationship between protecting and being protected. I have saved his life, he took his own life to repay the favor. I’m not sure if you’re a good person, but I’m a good person, and I’m a good person. If it were not for him laying down his life to save me, I would have been a floating corpse in the turbulence of the ravine.”

Zhu Hailin changed his face and held his wrist, “Qinghe ……”

He heard that Su Yan disappeared, anxious as burning, and later learned that the other side is safe and sound, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. However, he did not know the specific after such a thrilling, can be regarded as escape from death, can not help but feel a burst of fear.

“I have shared life and death with him, and naturally treat him differently from other subordinates, but to say ambiguous–“

Su Yan hypnotized himself in his mind that the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival did not count, it was an accident it was an accident it was an accident! The victim is not guilty! In addition to this, he really did not have a physical relationship with Jing Hongchou, what’s up? Saying that you as the Crown Prince molested his subjects, or saying that when you take advantage of it, it’s ‘a child’s playfulness’, and when you put on a show of authority, it’s ‘I’m a man, little master’?”

Zhu Hailin reddened his face, puffing and puffing, “You, you …… well wow, you dare to scold the crown prince of the dynasty, against the heavens!”

He lifted the kang table with force as well and lunged over to strangle Su Yan’s neck.

Two loud noises in a row startled the palace people outside the hall, Cheng Sheng called through the door, “Little master! What happened, slave girls come in to serve?”

“Don’t come in!” Zhu Hailin roared towards the door of the palace, “Little master, I’m cleaning up the rebels, no one is allowed to come in! Or else I’ll chop off your heads!”

The eastern palace guards looked at each other in disbelief.

Cheng Sheng muttered to himself, “Where did the rebels come from? There is clearly only Little Master and Royal Secretary Su in the temple ……”

Fubao knew that the Crown Prince liked Su Yan, but he himself was still a young boy, and had purified himself, and was not too clear about the many types of “likes”, so he said: “Little master is probably playing with Lord Su. It’s okay, since we’re not allowed to go in, don’t go in. I have a temper like that, which one of us can handle it except for Lord Su.”

A cadre of attendants nodded their heads in empathy, so they all looked at each other as if they hadn’t heard.

On the Luo Han couch in the temple, Su Yan was pinched and rolled his eyes, and the fire came up and fiercely threw the prince a slap.

The slap seemed to wake up the Prince in his frenzy.

Zhu Helin touched his face in shock, ”You! You dare to hit the face of the little master …… Father has not even hit my face,: “What is this called ambiguity! How do you kiss that shameless guard of yours, kiss little master too.”

Su Yan was shocked, “Ten thousand million can’t! Three years to start, maximum death penalty, he’s still a kid.”

Zhu Hailin didn’t understand the playfulness of the stunt, but understood the meaning of rejection and responded, “Bah!” With that, he pressed his face down.
