Prison Dragon

Yang You leaned on Ao Chen's shoulder, watching the setting sun from the sky go down the mountain bit by bit.Ao Chen's shoulders were broad and square, and he could feel the muscle lines under his clothes. Yang You hugged his waist tightly and rubbed against his shoulders.

Ao Chen patted his back with his hand, "Do you want to go back?"

Yang You thought for a while, finally went to the palace, he wanted to see Concubine Li.

Ao Chen took him to the lake, washed him with water, at least he didn't look so messy, and sent him out of the woods himself.Yang You held his hand, still a little bit reluctant, but seeing Ao Chen's calm demeanor, he put away his love.

It was getting late, and there was still the sound of Yang Ni reading in Qingfang Palace. He read the chapters of "The Doctrine of the Mean" childishly. Now dinner has just been served, and today I have steamed sea bass that His Highness likes."

Yang You talked and laughed with her and walked into the room. Concubine Li was sitting at the main table. Today, she did not wear heavy makeup, but a little powder. The style of dressing changed from the gorgeous peony to the elegant and pleasant orchid.

Yang You knelt down, Concubine Li pulled him to sit beside her, after a while, Zhang Taifu personally pulled Yang Ni over.

Yang You was really shocked. According to Zhang Taifu's bad temper, how could he set foot in the harem women's place that he thought was insignificant?

Taifu Zhang obviously didn't like Concubine Li very much either, so he had a straight face towards Concubine Li, but Concubine Li greeted him with a smile, and didn't care about Taifu Zhang's neglect.

Not to mention Yang You, Zhang Taifu has always regarded it as a lifelong shame, and Yang You himself is too embarrassed to say hello.

The only thing he could do was to be more gentle with Yang Niu, and after explaining to Yang Niu, he resigned first. Concubine Li politely invited him to have dinner with him, but Taifu Zhang ignored him.

"It's quite arrogant!" Concubine Li said to Yang You.

Yang You was noncommittal, stretched out his hand and sat on Yang Niu's lap.

Yang Niu hugged his face and just mouthed it, making Yang You drool all over his face, Yang You wiped off the saliva in disgust, "Yang Niu is a puppy!"

Yang Ni retorted unwillingly: "Brother is Juju."

"I read every day, and I can't even speak clearly." Concubine Li ordered food for them.

Yang You still fed Yang Mi first, then let Yang Mi play on the ground, and then picked up the bowl by himself.

Concubine Li intentionally ate very slowly, and asked about Yang You's situation occasionally.

"I heard that you offended your father today, did he punish you?"

Yang You nodded: "It's just being sent back to the mansion again, it's nothing serious."

"Be careful." Concubine Li rarely said such peaceful words, "Now that the fourth prince is returning to Beijing, everyone is squatting in such a small capital. You are fine when you usually have fun, so don't talk to me. The other princes are making trouble."

Concubine Li unexpectedly advised him to be an idler, Yang You couldn't believe it, but he still promised his mother: "My child understands."

After dinner, he played with Yang Niu for a while, and agreed that he would bring his little lady to visit him in the future, so Yang You went back home.

Shang Luo had already sneaked into his house to have a big meal, and even ransacked his kitchen and asked Ruifang to pack a large box of snacks.

Yang You looked at his swollen belly, which looked like a spindle, with two small ends and a large middle, and advised, "Teacher, you should eat less."

As he spoke, he removed the upper two layers of the Shangluo food box.

Shang Luo blew his beard and stared and snatched the two boxes back.

Where Yang You dared to get angry with him, he had no choice but to give in.

Shang Luo took out a white porcelain jar from the table, and inside it was a thick cricket about the length of Yang You's tail finger. Shang Luo chuckled and said, "Let me show you the treasures I found these days."

He held up the white porcelain pot, looked at his cricket lovingly, and said with full of relief: "Little baby, show me your supernatural power!"

Yang You: ...

Forget it, he couldn't guess what Shang Luo was thinking, so he just went crazy with him.

He took out his canopy yuan cricket, and the two sat on the carpet and started fighting crickets.

When Shangluo was fighting crickets, he didn't have the slightest image of character. He rolled up his sleeves and shouted. Yang You couldn't stand his beastly behavior, so he backed away a little.

Needless to say, the crickets he brought today were fairly solid, and they had spent several rounds under the hands of Tianpeng Yuan Cricket.

And then... In Shangluo's words, it was a loss...

He sat on the ground and beat his chest, "I regret it, why didn't I buy that cricket three years ago, if I bought it, would I be able to be where you are today?"

Yang You carefully settled the canopy Yuan Cricket, and comforted Shang Luo, saying: "Teacher, one always misses something in one's life. If you win it, you will lose your life!"

Shang Luo pushed him to the ground and sat down, "Bad boy, don't speak human words all day long."

The two looked at each other, then laughed.

While teasing the crickets, Shang Luo said, "The fourth prince is going to Beijing..."

Yang You felt guilty when he thought of galloping his horse through the street during the day.

Shang Luo didn't want to accuse him of this matter, but said: "My lord, all the princes are staring at that position, so don't interfere."

Shang Luo and Yang Ting have also known each other for 30 to [-] years, and he has already figured out Yang Ting's character clearly.

Yang Ting can do nothing, as long as he can sit on the throne.

For this reason, he can use Qian Taishi's influence to become the prince.

The price was that he had to cede part of his power and the candidate for the next emperor—making Taishi Qian's grandson Yang Jian the crown prince.

The Northeast was already controlled by the power of the third prince. In order to check and balance the third prince, he put the fourth prince in the northwest. In order to prevent the fourth prince from making trouble, he was specially stipulated that he could only stay in one-third of an acre of land in the northwest.

Yang Ting may not be the smartest person, but he understands one of the most important things - checks and balances.

Grand Master Qian, Elder Lin Ge, General Di... the entire court is his pawn, he only needs to balance the factions, and other things will naturally be solved.

Of course Yang Ting was unwilling to let the fourth prince return to Beijing, but he endured it.

why?

Because he needs a new round of checks and balances.

Ever since Yang Ting ascended the throne, Taishi Qian's power has continued to expand, and he became even more arrogant after making Yang Jian the crown prince.

Grand Master Qian has become a confidant under his nose.

He has eight sons, any one of them can be a prince, Yang Ting needs these princes to help him get rid of Grand Master Qian.

The conflict between the princes is far less deep and urgent than the conflict between the prince and the prince.

If the prince and Grand Master Qian were really brought down, the chaos among the remaining princes would not allow the court to once again dominate the court.

Yang Ting's calculation is really good!

Anyway, the court will be turned into muddy waters, so Shangluo will fish in muddy waters!

He told Yang You: "My lord, you can take advantage of the opportunity of suspension to avoid the chaos and reap the benefits."

Yang You understood that if the princes started to fight, if he didn't stand in line, he might be the first one to be removed. He told Shangluo his idea of ​​liking the fourth prince.

Of course, he would never dare to say that he didn't want to be an emperor at all.

Looking at Shang Luo's expression, he is not very optimistic about the fourth prince. Judging from the current situation, the fourth prince Yang Shi does have the power to break the deadlock, so he might as well make a good deal first and relax his vigilance: "What the prince said is not at all serious. It's unreasonable. You must know that there is no brotherhood in the struggle for the throne. The prince should be wary of the princes. When the officials gathered before, many people said some news. You can find a chance to reveal some news related to Grand Master Qian. He, remember, there must be no trace, so that he cannot notice you."

Yang You nodded, and the two chatted about court affairs again. Shang Luo was about to go back to the mansion. He was fine in the palace, but as soon as he went out, he started crying at the gate: "There is no hero in the time, let Zhuzi become famous! You wait Now, I must go back and find a better cricket, and I will be ashamed in the future!"

No matter how dull Yang You is, he still tasted something. Shangluo's pretentious ability is really not covered, he said with a smile: "Don't think about it, my crickets are the best raised in the capital, teacher, don't waste your efforts gone."

Shang Luo hugged the white porcelain pot and started howling, Yang You hurriedly asked the driver to take him away.

After bidding farewell to Shangluo, the palace finally calmed down.When Yang You returned to the room, Ao Chen unexpectedly did not occupy the bed today.

He lit a lamp, then sat at the table and looked at Yang You, with several Fengwuzhi in front of him.

Yang You's heart skipped a beat suddenly, "Aren't you sleeping? It's getting late."

Ao Chen just got up and fell asleep on the bed.

Yang You watched his footsteps, then silently climbed onto his couch.

Ao Chen lay on the bed and turned to look at him, "Why don't you sleep on the bed?"

Yang You sighed, "Didn't you sleep on the bed?"

Ao Chen turned over on the bed, "Oh, this bed is so big..."

He turned his head and looked at Yang You with unsatisfactory expression.

Yang You cursed secretly, turned his back, and stopped looking at him.

Ao Chen refused to let go, walked over and sat on his couch, curling up a lock of his long hair with his fingers.

The muscles on Yang You's back began to tense, and he moved inside, "What are you going to do again?"

Ao Chen made an inch of progress, lying on his side behind Yang You, forcing him in again.The couch was only big enough for one person to sleep, and he was bigger than Yang You, so Yang You could only make room for the two of them by leaning himself against the wall.

Ao Chen patted him on the shoulder, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Say..." Yang You felt his face heat up, "Say what..."

Ao Chen rested his forehead on the back of his neck and put his hands on his waist.Almost at the same time, Yang You suddenly sat up, lifted the quilt and wanted to step over Ao Chen: "If you don't sleep on the bed, I'll go to sleep."

Ao Chen didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

His deep black eyes seemed to be infinitely attractive, and once he calmed down, it was difficult for people to escape in the crowd.

Yang You also looked back at him, Ao Chen raised his hand, touched his neck, and then made a look at the empty space beside him to signal Yang You to lie down.

Yang You looked at him and the bed repeatedly, and finally lay down face to face with him in half helplessness and half obedience, and put his hands under his head as a pillow.

Ao Chen moved closer and met his eyes.

The breaths exhaled by the two people, one cold and one hot, blended in a very close place.Yang You looked at Ao Chen's face fascinatedly, and gently covered his cheek with his hand.

Ao Chen rubbed against his palm with a smile, his eyes were as clear as water, and his face was so handsome, Yang You felt flustered for no reason, and he urgently asked for proof.

"Do you love me?"

Ao Chen blinked slowly, the moonlight was dancing on his eyelashes, "Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"

Yang You's heart began to sink slowly, he said: "False?"

"Love." Ao Chen replied without hesitation.

Yang You didn't know why he wanted to laugh, "What about the truth?"

"The truth..." Ao Chen murmured, looking at the moonlight shining in through the window paper, "I have never understood the love of human beings. Human life is very short, but they think much more than God, because it is short. , so you won’t be obsessed with one thing for a long time. Love is just one of the many emotions of human beings, and human love is too unpredictable. How about you, can you clearly explain what human love is?”

what is love?Yang You himself didn't understand clearly, he didn't even understand himself, how could he tell Ao Chen how complex and changeable human love and emotions are?

"You don't understand human love, how dare you tell lies to coax me?"

Ao Chen said with a rare stern expression: "You are special."

Yang You looked at his rarely seen serious expression, smiled emotionally, imitated Ao Chen's usual appearance, pinched Ao Chen's face, "There are many lies."

Ao Chen put his shoulders on his shoulders and said regretfully, "You only know now?"

Yang You smiled and kicked him, and then gave half of the quilt to Ao Chen. Ao Chen's body temperature was cold, so he insisted on hugging him.Yang You was not used to it at first, trembling in Ao Chen's arms, and slowly fell asleep after some time.
