Let me eat a soft meal

It was already late at this time, Xie Yushu only sent them to the gate at noon, and Ye Xuan led the eighth prince inside.

The moment the palace gate was closed, Ye Xuan couldn't help but look back, the night was dark, the towering city walls and palace gate were rendered more gloomy and airtight by the night, just looking at it made people breathless, even the sky The colors seem to be cut into two pieces. Outside the palace, there are thousands of stars, freedom, and fireworks in the world.

There is Xie Yushu.

That little gentleman with a gentle and tender smile, a respectful and courteous attitude, and an amazing talent that people can't take their eyes off.

Suddenly, the image of the other party provoking lantern riddles with his fingertips, pursing his lips and smiling, and the tears and moles at the end of his eyes that are confident are shocking.

Ye Xuan clenched the blood jade bead tightly in his palm, stroked it with his fingertips again and again, felt the hollow pattern on it, closed his eyes, and comforted the seeds of longing for freedom that broke through the ground again in his heart.

The mood this time is different from last time, there is something vaguely more indescribable.Ye Xuan couldn't figure it out, so he put it down for the time being. He knew that this emotion was caused by him towards Xie Yushu. As long as he got in touch with him more, he would always know what it was in the future.

"Seventh Brother?" The Eighth Prince blinked, and looked suspiciously at Ye Xuan who had been watching the palace gate for a long time.

Ye Xuan restrained his expression, and held his hand in a good mood, "Let's go, I'll take you back first."

However, Ye Xuan only took a few steps away, when he heard the melodious and clear music in the dark night, the Eighth Prince shouted in surprise, "It's mother!"

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Ye Xuan looked up and saw that there was a lot of light in front of him. A group of three people were waiting in the pavilion. The maid holding the lamp looked around and shouted happily into the pavilion, "Your Majesty, Your Highness is back."

Li Mei immediately got up and was supported to walk out, her seductive smile gradually became clear in the bean lights.

The eighth prince jumped up happily, and stopped dozing off. Sa Yazi ran over, staggered and fell in the middle, rubbing some dust on his body.

Perhaps the excitement hadn't faded, and he didn't feel any pain, so he rubbed his dirty little face against her sleeve, "Mother!"

"Look at you, it's as dirty as a little cat." Li Mei pinched his face affectionately, and patted off the dust on his body.

Although this Dongying dancer is more beautiful, she is more timid and timid. The eighth prince's appearance and personality follow her, he doesn't like to show off, and he is afraid that he will be caught if he makes mistakes and hurts the people he loves. .Li Mei is only in her early twenties, she is dressed in plain clothes, her face is lightly made up, and her facial features are deliberately concealed.

She doesn't love the emperor, and she was also forced to be a pampered servant. For these years, she has been living in her own small courtyard and never raised her head. She was as quiet as if she had died quietly at some point. The prince, everyone in the palace, including the emperor, can't remember that there is such a person.

This is not uncommon.There is only one emperor, but there are countless concubines in the palace. There are six concubines alone, and there are countless concubines and nobles, most of whom are women who have never been favored in their lives.

There are even quite a few people who envy Li Mei. Although their status is low, there is still a prince, and the place where they live is worse than the concubines because of this child.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

In Ye Xuan's eyes, it is a great misfortune for a woman at such a good age to be besieged in this deep palace and guard the fate of being a widow.

Ye Xuan declined the lady-in-waiting arranged by Lady Limei to send him off, and only took the lantern, then turned and headed towards the completely opposite Luohua Palace.

It's really late today, Wenyuan Hall is not manned enough, and the night watch is only at the gate of the inner palace, there is always no one in the courtyard at midnight, if Tai'an hadn't come back, no one would hear him knocking on the door.

Ye Xuan hesitated for a while, but still walked through the main entrance of Luohua Palace.

The main entrance of Luohua Palace was wide open, two rows of eunuchs and maids were waiting, and the inside of Chenjiao Palace was brightly lit.

Ye Xuan's footsteps paused, and he regretted for a moment, and took a tentative step back, wanting to return.

Yet someone had seen him.

"Your Highness the Seventh!" The middle-aged eunuch wearing a crimson round-neck long-breasted eunuch uniform not only has sharp eyes, but also has exceptionally agile legs and feet. He walked outside the palace in a few steps, his face wrinkled in surprise.

This is Zhao An, the chief eunuch beside the emperor.

In recent years, the affairs of the imperial court have been heavy, and today seldom come to the harem, and it has been three years since he checked the sign of Liangfei. Ye Xuan did not expect that the only time he came back late would be such a good time.

He frowned, in a bad mood, quickly gathered up before being discovered, cupped his hands at Zhao An, and shouted respectfully, "Director Zhao."

"Your Majesty also came out of the Qinzheng Palace not long after handling the government affairs, and had supper in the Chenjiao Palace. I happened to mention you. Your Highness will come with the old slave." Zhao An led the way.

Ye Xuan kept silent, and staged the fear and uneasiness of being suddenly cared about, as well as the respect and anxiety for his father, and pretended to be calm to stabilize his mind, expressing the emotions that a young prince with a pure heart should have. Performed to the fullest.

Zhao An watched the Seventh Prince pretending to be deep and steady, but his face was so excited that he couldn't help but blush, he couldn't help but smiled without malice, and there was a bit of distress in his eyes.

But in fact—it was steamed by Ye Xuan with internal force.

There is no way, he has lived 12 years to see the face of the emperor, and there are only a handful of times. At least Liangfei saw him three years ago. The last time he was still ill, he only heard someone mention it, but no one saw him.

The memory of his father has long been vague and ruthless, and there is really no self-abuse admiration.

In order to stabilize the country, the royal family has always admired the Confucian school. When scholars talk about filial piety and the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, their saliva can drown people.However, in fact, most of the royal family regarded this thing as a decoration.

Otherwise, throughout the ages, how could there be so many people who killed their fathers and brothers to seize the throne?If it wasn't for the quick death of the first emperor, according to his father's cold-hearted and unfeeling temperament, I'm afraid he would have to force the palace to sit in Zen.

Ye Xuan's face was calm, but his heart was actually full of outrageous thoughts.

Zhao An led him all the way into the Chenjiao Palace. The emperor sat on the main seat, twisting a string of jade beads in his hands, and the corner of the black dragon robe hung down in front of the jade chair. From a distance, he looked very dignified, and the concubine Liang sat on her knees Serve tea on the side.

Ye Xuan glanced at it, then lowered his head, knelt down and saluted, "I greet my father and my mother."

"There's no need to be too polite." The emperor waved at him, "It looks like she's grown a lot taller, come forward and let me take a closer look."

Ye Xuan stepped forward according to the words, let the other party's gaze wander over his body, shaking his eyelashes from time to time, "leaking" some of his emotions.

"Xuan'er looks like Zhen." The emperor smiled as if satisfied, and said again, "I heard that you went to the imperial horse supervisor to select horses a few days ago, and you subdued that little pony with red limbs? Is it called Meihualao?" Right? Whether it's the unruly temperament or appearance, it does have the meaning of Hongmei Aoxue, not bad."

I don't know if this "good" comment is referring to the name Meihualuo or because he subdued a wild horse.

Ye Xuan tentatively revealed a bit of joy after being praised.

Hearing the emperor laughed twice, he suddenly asked, "That day, you were also with Xie Sanlang, right?"

"You and Qinghe are predestined." He chuckled vaguely.

Alarm bells rang in Ye Xuan's heart, and he knelt down without saying a word.

The author has something to say: Ye Xuan: Gan, playing with the future boyfriend was discovered by the corpse-style father.

Xie Yushu: Don't panic, hold on, after all you are the next emperor.

#Suddenly thinking about extreme fear#

Your Highness, grow up quickly!
