Prison Dragon

The little lady is hanging under the eaves, her belly is yellow, her body is dark green with a bit of gray, there is a circle of yellow hair around her eyes, there are red spots on her wings, and her mouth is also red.

The bird is small enough to be held in the hand.

Yang You opened the cage, and the little lady jumped onto his hand obediently, turned her round head, and stared at the two of them with black eyes.

Yang Ni giggled, holding the bird food given by the maid in his hand, spread it out and placed it in front of the little lady.

The little lady chirped a few times and lowered her head to plan food in Yang Ni's hands.The two played with the bird for a long time, until Zhan Fang urged them to go to the side hall for dinner.

Yang You asked: "Why do you eat in the side hall? Has your mother used it?"

Zhan Fang glanced at Yang You with some reproach. Zhan Fang was the court lady who had been with them for the longest time. She had witnessed Concubine Li transforming from a lowly beauty to one of the six concubines in the harem. She was loyal.Now she is the eldest maid in Concubine Li's Palace, she is considered an old man who watched Yang You grow up, and has a deep relationship with their mother and child.Concubine Li has to be busy with various affairs, most of the time Zhan Fang is with the two brothers, like a sister and a mother.

She said: "Your Highness, don't be angry with your empress, your empress is also for your own good."

Yang You nodded, "I'm not angry, I know that Concubine Mu is doing it for my own good."

But this kind of good is not what he wants.

Hearing his calm tone, Zhan Fang also knew that he had always been a carefree person, and he didn't care about many things, so she felt relieved.

After finishing the meal, Yang Niu squinted his eyes and yawned. His personal maid Jin Ling said, "His Royal Highness, the Taifu still has homework checks tomorrow morning!"

Yang Mi's bun face wrinkled into a ball in an instant, and he pouted and called his brother.

Yang You then asked what the class was.

Jin Ling said that she would memorize a few Analects and then copy them.

He picked out two random questions and asked Yang Mi, and Yang Mi remembered it. Looking at the sky, it was already very late, so Yang You said, "Take him to sleep quietly."

Jin Ling hugged Yang Ni, hesitated a little: "Then what about the homework that will be checked tomorrow?"

Yang You said, "I wrote it."

The study rooms of the two princes are the same, Yang You has a big table, and Yang Ni has a small table, which is placed directly opposite Yang You's table.

There are also messy characters drawn by Yang You on the small table.

He randomly picked up a few sheets, glanced at them roughly, and knew how Yang You wrote.

It has to be said that they are brothers after all, and the charm of writing is somewhat similar, not to mention that Yang Niu used his calligraphy as a copybook to practice on weekdays.

He quickly wrote the homework due tomorrow in Yang Ni's handwriting. In order to create a sense of reality, he deliberately wrote several wrong words, and forged a few ink stains on his sleeves.

Yang You put the paper on Yang You's desk, got up, washed and went to bed.

In the early morning of the second day, Yang Niu was sent to Shang's study. Yang You lost his younger brother for entertainment. He had an idle book in his arms and an eight-treasure bag on his waist, which contained melon seeds and snacks that Zhan Fang had prepared for him. Walking around the palace with a red mouth jade.

Yang Xiu got a deck chair and found a secluded place in the imperial garden to lie down and sleep.

Yang You just passed by, stretched out his leg and kicked his chair.

Yang Xiu took off the big leaf covering his face, and looked around in a daze, seeing that it was Yang You who was beaming, and hurriedly took his hand.

"Oh my fifth brother, when did you think of your younger brother?"

Yang You looked at him contemptuously, "How can you sleep on a good day? A few days ago, a puppet troupe came to Jiangnan, go and see it?"

Yang Xiu wiped his face and sighed: "I was scolded by my mother yesterday because I didn't answer the question well. I just want to find a quiet place to rest. Don't drag me to join in the fun."

Yang You patted his head comfortingly.

Yang Xiu squinted his eyes and looked up at him: "My mother has already talked about me, did Madam Li say anything about you when she went back?"

Yang You teased the bird wholeheartedly: "What are you talking about?"

"Did you say that you were not paying attention when you asked Ce, and that you were fooling your majesty?"

Yang You rolled his eyes, "Isn't that what I learn? No one in the palace knows, my mother is used to it."

Yang Xiu cared and said: "I said fifth brother, can't you study something hard? Walking the bird every day to read the storybook, are you not panicking?"

Yang You looked at him and smiled gently. His eyes were pure black and moist all the year round. When looking at people, it was exciting.The sun shone into his eyes, leaving warm traces, "An idle prince, why would he do so much?"

"You!" Yang Xiu really wanted to punch him, "It's the time when Concubine Li is in favor, you don't take the opportunity to manage well in front of His Majesty, you just want to go out to play every day. Don't you have any ambitions?"

"Yes," Yang You squatted beside him, and put the birdcage on the ground.

"You said that if I write a book, remembering my experience of raising birds and catching crickets, will it be sought after by thousands of people, and then I will be famous in history?"

Yang Xiu became angry, "Don't you want that?"

"Which one?"

Yang Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky, "That."

"I'm not capable, I don't want to. Do you want to?" Yang You squatted on the ground and began to dig the soil, "If you want, I can help you. But as for me, I just want to live a leisurely life."

"Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!" He made a face at Yang Xiu.

Yang Xiu stopped persuading him, and picked a big leaf and put it on his face to prepare for sleep, but Hongzuiyu's cry still echoed in his ears.

The incense on Yang You's body surrounded him. Yang You used the most common agarwood in the palace, but Yang Xiu felt that the smell on his body was different from others.

With Yang You by his side, he was always restless and always put his attention on him.

The eldest prince became the crown prince, and the second and third princes were all made kings of the capital. They had no fiefdoms but titles, and they stayed in the capital.The fourth prince was named King of Guangwu, and he went to the Northwest a few years ago.There are only five, six, seven and three princes left, and they have reached the age of becoming kings this year, and everyone in the world is watching them.

In order to win the favor of the emperor, the seventh prince, Yang Lun, did not hesitate to give his cousin to the emperor as a male favorite, but there was no splash.

His own mother, Chen Meiren, was nameless and had no influence in the palace. The concubines had long established a battle line, so he had no choice but to establish a good relationship with Concubine Li and Yang You.

Yang You didn't think about anything every day, he only thought about playing around, and he didn't want to participate in the battle, so he lived alone in the palace like a hermit.

It's different for me, besides building a good relationship with Yang You, I also have to think hard about planning in the palace, how to win over the palace people, and how to strike a balance between the several imperial brothers.

Yang You believed that as long as he left the palace, he could avoid the disaster brought about by seizing the heir, so he only wanted to become a prince outside.

Yang Xiu didn't think so.

After Qin Shihuang's death, Fusu and Hu Hai fought for the throne, and the other princes did not participate in it, but after Hu Hai became the throne, he still killed all his brothers.

Not to mention far away, their father was just an ordinary prince before he took the throne, and even had a reputation of being gentle and kind in the court.

After his father ascended the throne, he killed three imperial uncles, forced the former prince to death under house arrest, and exiled his remaining brothers.

As long as they are princes, they are in danger of being involved in political struggles.

Yang Xiu knew that his chances of ascending to the throne of God were very slim, but he had to plan for his own survival.

You must first maintain a good relationship with all the princes, and then stand in a good team when the situation is complicated.

It would be nice to gain some power and make yourself a useful bargaining chip.

Only in this way will he not become a sheep at the mercy of others in the struggle to seize the heir.

In fact, he doesn't like people like Yang You.

Yang You has nothing to ask for, although he has an amazing appearance, a scheming mother, and happens to be favored by the emperor, but he doesn't fight or grab, and doesn't say a word.

See nothing, want nothing.

Concubine Li hates iron but not steel, why doesn't he?

He has the best relationship with Yang You, and he also knows that Yang You is kind-hearted. As long as Yang You becomes the emperor, Yang Xiu's safety can be guaranteed, and he will even get more things.

But Yang You was unwilling.

Sometimes Yang Xiu thought, if Concubine Li was his mother, he would definitely not be like Yang You in the palace.

Paradoxically, in this palace, his favorite person is also Yang You.

Yang You lived happily, freely and with a clean mind.

It was the way Yang Xiu wanted to live.

Yang You held a branch on the ground for a long time, and dug out a white and fat worm, slowly wriggling its body.

Yang Xiu felt a little nauseous looking at it.

Yang You picked the worm into the little lady's food box and muttered, "Little lady, eat this big worm quickly."

The little lady jumped up and down in the cage chattering, but she refused to look at the food box.

Yang You tapped the side of the ceramic food box with a branch, and kept saying, "Look here, look here... the little lady is the most obedient."

Yang You chanted for a long time, and then began to imitate the chirping of birds.

Yang Xiu couldn't bear it anymore, he took off the leaves from his head and threw them on Yang You's face, "Yang You, are you sick? Get out of here, I want to sleep."

Yang You patted him on the shoulder, knowing that Yang Xiu knew the palace people from all the palaces and had good news, so he asked, "Where are our other brothers going today? There is no one in the palace."

Yang Xiu looked into his eyes and said, "Second Emperor Brother held a grand event in Sui Garden, and many literati and refined scholars attended it. Even Wenkui Du Qinglian and the young genius Cheng Boyu went, and the princes also went to join in the fun. No one , you just wander around by yourself."

Yang You nodded, and pushed him back on the chair to lie down, "You continue to sleep, I will wander around the palace."

As soon as he said to leave, Yang Xiu felt that he couldn't fall asleep again.

He watched Yang You carrying the birdcage, playing an unknown song, and walking unsteadily, and he didn't know whether he was envious or disappointed.

Yang You knew that the princes were not in the palace, so at such a good time, the emperor must be hanging out with his male favorites, and the concubines were busy forming cliques, but he was the freest person in the palace.

He calculated the time, and he hadn't visited Ao Chen for a while.

There seems to be some mystery in Ao Chen's forest, only he can find it, and no one else can see it. He doesn't want to expose the existence of the forest, so he specially chooses a time when there are few people, and secretly goes to Ao Chen's place to stay for a while. After the last meeting at the age of 11, Yang You never saw Ao Chen again.

However, the mysterious forest and lake have not disappeared, and he believes that Ao Chen is still guarding the country.

Although he doesn't know why Ao Chen disappeared, but he believes that Ao Chen will come back one day.

Yang You hung the little lady's cage on a tree, and entered the forest from a deserted place.

This forest occupies a huge area, and there are entrances all over the palace. In the past few years, he has often played in the woods, and he has been able to find his way in the woods.

Yang You didn't go to the lake, but went to Ao Chen's temple.

In three or four years, he changed from an 11-year-old child to a 15-year-old boy, and he cleaned up the temple with his own strength.The dilapidated temple finally looked a little better, the cobwebs and dust were gone, and the idol was wiped clean, revealing the dignified appearance of the original Dragon God.

Yang You also moved a few tables and even deck chairs and placed them under the eaves of the temple.

The moss on the steps has been swept away, and the leaky roof has long been repaired.

He moved the table to the side of the recliner, took out the eight-treasure bag, spread it on the table, and lay casually on the recliner, eating melon seeds and reading a book.

On the blue cover, the words "Huanhua Mingyuanlu" are written.This is a storybook bought for him by a court lady, and it is said that it is about a woman named Huanhua.

The old magistrate of Huanhua was killed by corrupt officials, and his family was ruined.So she worked hard, went to Tianshan to learn swordsmanship, and inspired herself to kill her father and enemies. After she finished her studies and came down the mountain, she met a suave prince, a mysterious knight, and a gentle and noble son.She struggled in the emotional vortex of the four, and finally killed her father-killing enemy with the help of three men.

Generally speaking, the story should have a happy ending here.

No matter which person you are with, readers can get a kind of psychological comfort that good people get good rewards.

However, the peculiarity of this book is that Huanhua committed suicide after killing her enemy!

since!kill!up!

Although she avenged her revenge and became a world-renowned chivalrous woman, her hands were stained with blood.

Even though the enemy deserved to die, she still killed someone.

The enemy's child also embarked on the same path as Huanhua, wandering in the rivers and lakes, bent on revenge.

Late justice seems to bring endless pain.

No, in the end Huanhua understood that she arbitrarily disposed of other people's lives in her own name.

She has long since lost her position of justice.

Like the court ladies, Yang You felt that his feelings had been deeply deceived by the author of the script.

But after thinking about it again, I feel that the meaning behind this script is somewhat interesting.

Yang You likes to sit at Ao Chen's place in summer, the summer in Lidu is very hot, but Ao Chen's site seems to be affected by his power, cool and refreshing, sometimes the wind will bring the water in the lake. Water vapor, maybe a little bit of the ocean.

He hung wind chimes on the four corners of the temple, and occasionally one or two chimes came into his ears.

Looking at it, the book in his hand slipped to the ground.

The recliner swayed gently with the wind, Yang You closed his eyes, entered a relaxed state of mind, and fell asleep peacefully.

In the dimness, he seemed to hear low whispers.

There was cold steam on his face, and the wet seaweed wrapped around him, pulling him into the bottom of the sea.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and reached down with his hand, trying to pick up the book, but he didn't find the expected page, but he touched another cold hand.
