Chapter 5: Hold on to this little leg

“Heh …… “The newly appointed Crown Prince’s attendant Su Yan covered his mouth and nose with his wide sleeves and secretly yawned, moving his lumbar vertebrae, which was beginning to stiffen, in the process.

These days he went out early and came back late, during the day to the Mandarin Palace to accompany the reading, after school and was pulled by the Prince of the East Palace to chat and play, stayed with him for dinner, dragged to the palace door before the key to let him go back. Night from time to time to slip to the rouge alley, eat wine and listen to songs and dance, to the latter half of the night before resting, the next day is inevitably some spirit is not good.

The hall of Yan Daqi, still in the gushing lecture reading the Four Books and Five Classics, an hour down actually even a cup of water are not drinking, really is a model of dedication to their work.

Thinking of Zhu Hailin’s comments, Su Yan could not help but sigh: Yan Daoshi’s class is not boring, is extremely boring. Generally he reads a sage words, others follow read five or ten times, almost no notes to explain, is completely “read a hundred times its meaning to see” the faithful advocate.

But it was fortunate that his own belly full of defeat didn’t reveal itself.

Pressing the moist corners of his eyes with his fingertips, Su Yan scanned the circle, only to see seven or eight Hanlin Academy attendants sitting upright, without slanting their eyes, as well as two or three attendants are burying their heads in hard writing, presumably preparing the content of the next lecture.

And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was a little bit red among all the green bushes, was slightly turning his head sideways, supporting the corner of his forehead with his fingers, making a posture of a contemplative person, while his eyes were dribbling restlessly.

Seeing Su Yan’s gaze glancing this way, the crown prince’s eyes lit up at first, raising his eyebrows and shrugging his nose at him, speaking wordlessly with an exaggerated mouth.

Su Yan carefully distinguish, seems to say “think of ways to sneak out of the palace to play in the afternoon”, immediately shook his head.

Although the previous two times were in the downtown outside the palace to see Zhu Hailin, but the previous life of the TV series he did not watch in vain, the crown prince out of the palace in microdress, in case the emperor knows, the main master of the conversation voice floated through the bushes and woke him up.

Su Yan stretched his waist, the lethargy seemed to have not faded, simply spread out on the grass, wanting to wait for people to walk by before coming out.

Unexpectedly those footsteps stopped just outside the bushes.

I only heard the elegant man’s voice say, “Lan Xi, what kind of flower is that, it blooms well.”

This voice is somewhat familiar, seems to be …… the emperor? Su Yan a jolt, like when the head poured pots of cold water, sleepiness suddenly disappeared, dabbing a moment from the grass to sit up.

Another thin and soft voice said, “Back to the Imperial Master, that is the tribute of the Java country’s Hu Ji flower, it does bloom beautifully, pink and purple, butterfly-like.”

Emperor Jinglong added: “Turn around and send a few plants to the East Palace, say that I am the reward for the Prince’s diligence in his studies. This child likes rare things, just no constancy, likes the new and hates the old.”

Lan Xi Nuo gave a sound, and said, “By the way, just now the Du Caiyuan and the six sections of the Giver sent folders over, the slave girl saw that the Imperial Master was talking to the young master, so she put it aside on the case.”

“There is no harm, I know what those officials have to say, is not to plead for Li Xianfeng. How many days have I locked him up?”

“It’s been five days.”

“Almost should be released, otherwise the impeachment of the zhongzhi again like hail to me here, annoying na.”

“I don’t know if Bongan Hou is ……”

“And released, save your consort to see me on the crying. But this Wei Joon always have evil behavior, can not be cheap him, punish him half a year salary, in the house grounded for two months introspection, write a guilty book.”

Blue Xi respectfully said: “or the emperor is brilliant, a ‘relatives chaotic law, do not say anything’ of the oracle, Li Ge Lao recently is a strong to Feng An Hou to find a problem, and finally provoked him to riot. The imperial assault is a big crime, your highness begged for mercy to be exempted from the crime is not too late, and would not dare to bother the empress dowager her old man’s purity, for Feng An Hou and Changning Bo to ask for real power.”

Emperor Jinglong let out a light laugh, “This is full of up and down, only you most understand my heart, you say I should how to reward you?”

Lan Xi’s voice suddenly took on a hint of light trembling, “The slave girl doesn’t dare to ask for a reward, but only seeks to spend her whole life doing odd jobs and running errands for the Imperial Master, and being a pawn who bows to the best of her ability.”

Emperor Jinglong faintly said, “You have followed me for many years, how could I not be clear about that little mind. As long as you don’t form a party and go against the grain, being smart and clever is not a good thing.”

Lan Xi busily said, “The slave girl will definitely be more careful with her words in the future.”

Su Yan held his breath, listening to the back of the neck cool wind blowing. It turns out that the play on the throne room, Jinglong emperor is the director behind the scenes, the dynasty, including Wei Guifei are obedient to do his actors, I’m afraid that even the leading role of the old Secretary Li multiplication of the wind is also in the dark, is in the prison regret to take the emperor’s jokes seriously it.

On the surface, it is the two sides each hit fifty big boards, in fact, in this civil officials and relatives in the fight, the latter famous and powerless, ate a bigger loss.

The ruler who sits in the ninth heaven, holding the balance, coldly watching several sets of forces in the dynasty you and me, fighting in secret, from time to time to the insufficient weight of the end of the tray to increase the chips, so as to maintain the stability of the balance of the whole situation.

I wonder if he, a wayfarer, was counted along with him, or perhaps the way Emperor Jinglong looked at him then was actually assessing whether or not he had the qualifications to be a small scale?

So think, Su Yan is more cold sweat oozing out, a heart only seeks to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible, if the emperor found that he listened to the corner, it is estimated that even the opportunity to explain will not be given, directly out of the afternoon door to account for it.

Really afraid of what the more what, he wanted to tiptoe quietly away, but did not expect the hem of the coat by a twig hanging, the bushes shook slightly, immediately heard Emperor Jinglong said in a deep voice: “What people?”

Su Yan was bluffed by him with this cry and his limbs went cold, and he secretly screamed that his life was over!

The dense bushes in front of him had been pushed aside by a hand, revealing the small half of his face, a pair of dark and shining eyes suddenly shocked when they saw him clearly, the ghostly light under his eyes swept away, and soon disappeared behind the bushes again.

“Your Majesty, it’s a big white cat that ran away in a flash. Maybe it’s raised by one of the empresses, turn around and ask the slave girl to catch it and send it to the harem.”

Emperor Jinglong let out a uh-oh.

Su Yan heard two people’s footsteps slowly far away, back against the trunk of the tree deeply exhaled a few mouthfuls, and only then realized that the middle single a wet and cold.

The eunuch named Lan Xi beside Emperor Jinglong has never met each other, why would he risk the crime of deceiving the king to cover up for himself?

He was puzzled and shook his head at the end of his thought, regardless of that, the next time he had the chance to meet up, he could thank them properly, after all, he owed them a big favor.

Raise his head to see the sun is already in the west, Su Yan suddenly thought of the Prince told him to wait in the East Palace, that little kid back to see people, eighty percent to send a temper, hurried toward the East Palace went.

Into the end of the Palace, Zhu Hailin really end of a pot face sitting on the back of the circle chair, see him in, not waiting to salute, went forward and grabbed, said angrily: “Not that you honestly stay in the East Palace, you dare to disobey the decree?”

“Where do I dare ah,” Su Yan compensated with a smile, “only just sat a little bored, see the garden in the spring light is just right, want to go out to take a breath of fresh air, not expected to go lost in the road, for nothing to drive a few laps.”

Zhu Hailin’s face eased quite a bit, letting go of his lapel, “You can get lost even when strolling through a garden, you’re so stupid, remember to ask Fubao to follow next time. Right, didn’t you say you bought a box of shadow puppets, let’s go, let them perform.”

Without taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and scrutinized Su Yan: “Are you hot, why is your forehead covered in sweat?”

Su Yan reached out and wiped his hand, full of moistened fingers, and said in a somewhat dazed manner, “It is a little hot ……”

“How can it be hot when the spring cold hasn’t gone away.”

Zhu Hailin frowned, seeing his cheeks spreading out a sickly red color, his breathing was also a bit heavy, he busily put his palm over his forehead, and then screamed, “It’s so hot!” Turning his head towards the chamberlain, he said, “Why are you standing here, why don’t you go call the Imperial Doctor!”

Su Yan was roared by his broken voice, the originally drowsy head began to bluntly ache, forced a smile, “It’s fine, probably caught a bit of wind-cold, it doesn’t matter.”

Zhu Hailin glared at him and called for someone to help him to lie down on the rosewood rattan-centered Luohan bed that was covered with Goose Creek silk, sitting obediently on the edge of the bed and watching the courtesan wring out a hand towel to wipe his sweat.

“I was fine in the morning, how did I catch a wind chill?”

Su Yan thought about it, may be lying on the grass to sleep without cover, and was Jinglong emperor scared out of a cold sweat before catching a cold, but do not dare to tell the truth, only said: “I’m not sure, perhaps last night when going to bed when the wind invades the evil, and now only attacked out.”

Zhu Hailin hummed lightly, “Is your family starving you or freezing you, your body bones are so weak, turn around and ask the eunuch to prescribe more nourishing medicines to nourish yourself.”

Su Yan depressed thought, and not my voluntary, the body of the previous life, how good wow, a breath of running a 10,000 meters or something a piece of cake, and now cast to a weak ribs brother, I’m still full of aggrieved it.

Seeing that he was silent with his eyebrows downcast, Zhu Helin thought that he was too uncomfortable to speak, and twisted his head to say, “It takes so long to call an eunuch? Cheng Sheng, go and rush them to get their asses over here!”
