In July, the prince supervised the country in the capital, and Emperor Wei took people to the palace to escape the summer heat, and ordered all the princes to accompany him.

Emperor Wei's sage was about to leave, and he couldn't see the Eighteenth Prince's figure for a long time, Chang Mitou was so anxious that he used the dust to blow the head of the little eunuch next to him:

"How do you do it? Didn't you ask you to invite the Eighteenth Prince!"

The little eunuch felt wronged: "The people in the Eighteenth Prince's womb said that the Eighteenth Prince was sick, and even the servants were not allowed to enter the door!"

Chang Mi frowned, feeling unhappy, how did the servants around the Eighteenth Prince do things?Don't you know that the Eighteenth Prince is going out of Beijing today?

The movement at Chang Mitou's side alarmed Xue Yi, and he walked straight towards Chang Mitou with the accompanying palace staff:

"But what happened?"

Chang Mitou looked perplexed:

"This royal driver is about to leave, but the eighteenth prince is ill!"

Xue Yi thought for a while and thought that Chang An was unwilling to go to the palace with Emperor Wei, so she smiled and said to Chang Mitou:

"Let's leave when the time is up. You don't have to wait for Chang'an anymore. I'll go and talk to my father alone,"

Chang Mi was overjoyed, and happily knelt down to Xuexue:

"It couldn't be better, the emperor is willing to listen to the prince's words?"

Xue Yi nodded apologetically and left, and went to report to Chang'an in front of Emperor Wei's chariot.

Recently, there have been a lot of unsatisfactory things in the imperial court. The Yunnan Jiedu envoy Zhang Yi had spies who came back and secretly reported that Yunnan had three consecutive years of bumper harvests, but Zhang Yi reported to the imperial court that there was a severe drought in Yunnan and that the crops were not harvested. In the south, there are indigenous barbarians who often harass, and use these excuses to ask the court for food and salary.

Seeing the changes in Yunnan, Emperor Wei left Beijing with his young wife and other sons.

Emperor Wei wanted to see how the prince Xueyi would handle these difficult things without him behind.

"Father, the eighteenth brother is ill and cannot leave the capital for the time being. When he recovers, my son will let him go to the palace immediately."

Emperor Wei listened, his beard under his jaw moved slightly:

"Is he ill? Seriously?"

Xue Yi answered honestly and respectfully:

"It's what the Eighteenth Brother's palace man said. He must be seriously ill. If the father is worried, I will go and see the Eighteenth Brother later."

Emperor Wei nodded with kind and serious eyes:

"You can do things with confidence." Finally, he patted Xue Yi on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"I'm gone and take good care of Shiba."

Xue Yi nodded.

After Emperor Wei left, Xueyi went directly to Chang'an Palace.

The gates of Chang'an Palace were closed, and the normally brightly lit candles seemed dim at this time. Xue Yi walked through the long corridor alone.

Looking at everything in Chang'an Palace.The layout here is different from when he came here before, it was bright and dazzling at first, if the whole palace were wrapped in black sand, it would look extraordinarily dark.

Xue Yi was a little angry, and was about to scold the palace servants, but was stopped by a few coughs.

Xue Yi wondered:

"Chang'an?"

Chang An's body stiffened in the bed and he forced himself to suppress his coughing.

Xue Yi took two quick steps and rushed into Chang'an's bed, Chang'an leaned on the bedpost and smiled at Xue Yi.

"Why are you so sick? Are all the people under him dead? Why didn't you pass on the imperial doctor for you?"

"I didn't let them find it."

Xue Yi was angry, her usually warm eyes overflowed with anger:

"What are you doing?"

Chang An shook his head, he just didn't want to make himself feel better, as if, as long as his body was uncomfortable, the pain in his heart would be relieved.

Xue Yi looked at the person in front of him and didn't know what to do. It seemed that he didn't know the younger brother he had grown up with.

Chang An sat on the bed and touched Chang An's warm forehead:

"I'll pass on the imperial physician to you, please be obedient."

After speaking, he got up and was stopped by Changan:

"Brother Prince!"

Xueyi sighed, Qingjun's face was full of worry, and he sat next to Changan again, and was held by Changan, turned his head and shouted at the little stone blasted away by Changan:

"Slaves who don't have long eyes, your Highness is sick and confused, and you are also confused? Why don't you go to the imperial physician!" Xue Yi seldom gets angry, and when he gets angry, his usually gentle eyes are dark and terrifying.

The little stone rolled and crawled away.

Xue Yi touched Chang An Nuan Nuan's head:

"You are always in good health, why are you suddenly sick?"

Chang'an smiled:

"When I went out and returned to the palace, I got caught in the rain, maybe I caught a cold."

Xue Yi feels distressed:

"How come the older I get, the more uneasy I become."

Xue Yi's eyes were helpless and tolerant.

Chang An saw his own shadow through Xue Yi's clear pupils, embarrassed and dirty.

Instead, the gloomy thoughts came back to his heart like when he strangled Lu He to death in the Palace of Huanxi that day, and a voice in his heart told him sinisterly: What's wrong, brother?You won't have any heirs, there are so many private matters in the royal family, so what's the matter with brothers' love.What's more, who else is worthy of Xue Yi except you.

Thinking of this, Chang An's eyes deepened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Xue Yi, who was about to pour water for him, put his arms around the waist and put him on the bed, and then covered him.

Changxi went to Chang'an before leaving the palace with Emperor Wei, and secretly wanted Chang'an to give up his heart, but if the heart died so easily, what's the use of this heart?

Xue Yi looked at Chang An who was pressing on him, her face became serious, but she still patted Chang An on the back and said with a smile:

"Stop making trouble Chang'an, get up!"

The tip of Chang'an's nose touched Xue Yi's lips, sniffing Xue Yi's scent like a beast, his eyes were fascinated.

Xue Yi endured the touch of Chang An's cheeks and nose on his skin, goose bumps all over his body, but he still tried his best to endure it, he thought it was Chang An who was sick and confused.

"Be obedient, get up quickly, the imperial doctor is coming soon."

Until Chang'an put a kiss on Xue Yi's lips, pushed his tongue domineeringly in, and touched Xue Yi's face with his hand.Xue Yi opened her eyes wide and her scalp felt numb, she loosened and closed her tightly clenched hands:

"Slap!" A slap on Chang An's cheek, twisting his face aside.

Xue Yi frowned, her eyes were angry, her chest heaved, she pushed Chang An away and stood up:

"You're sick and confused, Gu..." His voice was trembling

"I'll see you again someday!"

Chang'an remained expressionless and didn't look at Xue Yi, who retreated into a corner of the bed and silently stared at the wall.

Xue Yi almost ran away.The moment he opened the door, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Chang'an inside.The room was dark and there was no light, Chang An just curled up there motionless.

Xue Yi's heart clenched and she could hardly breathe, her face was pale, and she staggered and ordered to Xiao Shitou and the imperial doctor who came in a hurry:

"Take good care of Your Highness. If you don't want to take the medicine, then pour it in. His illness can't be delayed."

After Shi Shi and the imperial physician left, he waved away all the attendants and knelt all night in front of the ancestors enshrined behind the Zhengde Hall.

On the way, Li Qingzhang saw a change in Xue Yi's expression when he came out of Chang'an Palace, and followed Xue Yi all the way to Zhengde Hall.

Xue Yi went in but didn't come out, Li Qingzhang kept guarding outside the door, he stood outside the door several times at night but still didn't have the courage to break in, he just hated Chang'an silently, ruthlessly Chang'an took up too much of Xue Yi's mind.

On the Qixi Festival, the queen set up a garden in the palace to entertain the daughters of the court ministers' families to enter the palace to enjoy the flowers and celebrate the Qiqiao Festival, which also means choosing the princess for Xueyi.

The invitation was also sent to Chang'an Palace. Chang'an who received the invitation was about to go to a horse race with Prince Uda and Princess Showa. Seeing the invitation, he smiled and said to the little eunuch who sent the invitation:

"Help me keep an eye out and see whose daughter is the most beautiful, and show me when the time comes!"

The little eunuch looked honored.

It seemed that all the previous decadence and absurdity had been cured by Xue Yi's slap, and Chang'an had returned to its previous appearance, cynical and rebellious, and no one was looked down upon.

Uda said thoughtfully:

"I don't know whose daughter can enter the East Palace."

Princess Showa whipped a whip in her hand:

"Her niece, of course she chooses someone from her own family."

Changan teases Showa:

"Not long after I came to Zhongyuan, I didn't learn the gentleness of Zhongyuan's daughter's family, but I learned quickly from these door-to-door tricks!"

Showa didn't care about the meaning of his words, blinked and said:

"Worry about it, you see that you don't even have a concubine, brother Wu Da has already become a father!"

Changan hum:

"Only those you like get married, and even those you like don't get married at all!"

"Then you didn't get married because you don't have anyone you like?" Zhao He looked innocent.

Chang'an walked out of the palace first without making a sound.

Chang An knew in his heart that only in this situation could he see his wounds that were still festering and festering a few days ago.

At night, Chang'an took people to the Zhonggong to avoid Xue Yi's banquet.

Xue Yi didn't want to go either. When she met Chang'an very early, she stepped on a little bit before entering the Zhonggong.

What happened in the past few days is a secret in each other's hearts, and no one wants to reveal it easily for fear of destroying the former friendship.

But the two still ran into each other, and when they met at the door, both of them were surprised.

Chang'an was the first to speak out, and saluted Chang'an with a smile:

"Hello, Prince! How are you doing recently?" The smile on his face was extremely sincere.

Xue Yi could not help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Get up. The Queen Mother is still waiting for us!"

Li Qingzhang, who was half a step behind Xueyi, said to Chang'an with a half-smile after Xueyi entered:

"Sometimes I really envy His Highness Eighteenth." After speaking, he twitched the corners of his mouth and followed Xue Yi's footsteps.In the blink of an eye, Chang'an didn't understand Li Qingzhang's meaning.

After entering, I found that the queen was not there, saying that it was because the young people were afraid that the prince would be the host and invite everyone to dinner.

The queen was not there, so after Xue Yi finished speaking, she let all the girls enjoy themselves.

Chang An found his seat and sat down.The eunuch who helped him keep an eye on the beautiful girl appeared in time:

"Your Highness, look, the one next to the Eighteen Scholars is the daughter of Zhang Zhongshu's family. She looks very iconic and acts like a weak willow supporting the wind..."

Chang An stopped the eunuch's words, and looked over:

"Tsk tsk, with that body, if I hit her with a horsewhip, I won't break her up!"

The little eunuch laughed, but thought in his heart: Who would use a horsewhip to bring a good beauty back home.

He also pointed out to Chang'an:

"The daughter of Huang She's family..."

Changan pouted:

"I don't think her father is very pleasing to the eye!"

……

Here in Chang'an, people comment on other girls, and Xue Yi is also talking to Liu Su, the niece of Empress Liu.

Liu Su looks delicate and soft but bold and enthusiastic, and he and Xue Yi are cousins, so he chats more with Xue Yi than other people. Changan looks at that girl Liu who is almost on top of Xue Yi.

Chang'an stood up and glanced at Xueyi and the girl from the Liu family, and asked the little eunuch who introduced the girl to him to step down, and went to the depths of the garden alone.

To put it bluntly, this is a blind date banquet hosted by the queen for the prince, and the protagonists are all pre-determined.

Chang An didn't know if it was Xue Yi's intention or the Queen's intention, but felt that his heart was so blocked, he quickly hid in the depths of the garden while his face was still pretending.

On Qixi Festival, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl hadn’t cried yet, but Chang’an held on to the stones of the rockery and his eyes were sore.

"His Eighteenth Highness is really different from other people. They are all weeping at flowers, but you are Fushan crying."

Chang An turned his face away, only to see a girl in a pink dress slowly walking in front of him with her hands behind her back, with a smirk on her face, it was Qi Yan, the second daughter of the Grand Tutor Qi's family.

Chang'an sneered:

"Everyone is going to the prince, what are you doing with me?"

Qi Yan sat on a stone bench in the rockery, holding her chin and blinking at him:

"What good is it if everyone crowds out? I think you are very good!"

Now it was Chang An's turn to be surprised, narrowing his eyes:

"The little girl is very courageous! Didn't you hear that I kill people without blinking an eye?"

Qi Yan pulled Changan to sit down:

"The man Weiguo kills the enemy with fortitude and righteousness! What's wrong with killing? Then he should be killed."

Chang An raised his eyebrows, this little girl is very appetizing to him!

"Not bad!"

Xueyi and Miss Liu's family were talking, but their eyes looked at Chang'an intentionally or unintentionally. These days, the two always felt that there was a layer of separation between them. Although it was the same as usual when they met Chang'an now, Xueyi knew that the two of them still had lumps in their hearts. .

The purpose of sending invitations to Chang'an through Empress Liu's begging banquet is to untie the knot. He is the elder brother and he has to take care of the younger brother.

Pleaded guilty with Miss Liu's family, and ordered a Zhan Shi from the East Palace Zhan Shifu to take care of the guests, and he followed Chang'an's footsteps and walked over.

Li Qingzhang followed Xue Yi, and Xue Yi waved at him:

"It's okay, take good care of the guests on behalf of Gu." After speaking, he left.

Li Qingzhang's eyes were getting darker, and after looking at Yuanzi, he still followed.

The flowers in the garden are in full bloom, the willow trees float under the moonlight, and the shadows are flying around.

Faintly heard the voice of Changan and a girl laughing:

"I'll take you to see my war horse some other day! It's very hot-tempered, and it kicks when I touch other horses!"

"It can't be a mare!"

Suddenly there was a "ah".

Xue Yi's heart fluttered and she quickened her pace to avoid the rockery in front of her eyes. Wherever her eyes went, the second daughter of Mrs. Qi's family lay on Chang'an's body, face to face.

Xue Yi heard the sound of his teeth clenching, her face was tense.

Chang'an wanted to quickly push Qi Yan and Xue Yi away to explain, but in the end he still didn't move, just looked into Xue Yi's deep eyes, expressionless.

Qi Yan and Chang An apologized, saluted Chang An, and finally ran away blushing like an ordinary daughter.

Xue Yi and Chang An Kong met eyes, but no one spoke.

In the end, Xue Yi regained his gentleness, and said to Chang An with a smile: "Brother Shiba is not young, so it's time to get married!"

Changan looked at the person in front of him who would never understand his mind, heard the fire in his chest getting bigger and bigger, gritted his teeth, pulled Xueyi up and pulled away:

"You come with me!"

At this time, Li Qingzhang appeared to stop Chang'an:

"Your Highness, where are you taking Lang Guan?"

Chang An spat out two words viciously:

"Go away!"

Xue Yi nodded to Li Qingzhang to get out of the way.

Li Qingzhang turned his face away with pain in his eyes and stood aside.

The author has something to say: Thank you Yue Feixiang for giving Aunt Thirteen mines, which made Aunt Thirteen very happy!mwah!

Aunt Thirteen: Get ready to sing.

Xueyi, Chang'an: Wait for teasing!
