Tongshu with Mei

Yang Ye was embarrassed, but he still smiled and said, "Then I'll let them get ready. It's the first time I meet my nephew, and there must be some greetings."

As a result, Yang Ye casually mentioned this matter to the guards at dinner, and reported before the year: "My lord, we went out just now, and we have already communicated with Wei Linxian and the others, saying that you are back. I also learned a piece of news by the way, Fuer San I went to Chang'an a few days ago, and I didn't bother to tell you."

Yang Ye paused, looked up at him, and sighed helplessly after a while: "Let's go? Then...then... this baby, alas, I can't see it." He turned a wine cup in his hand around Go, peeking at Ling Shu's expression.Ling Shu was eating porridge slowly with a silver spoon with his head down, but he didn't seem to hear their words.

Yang Ye tentatively said: "Brother Huang must be very sad these days, very sad, someone must comfort him."

Before he finished speaking, Ling Shu pushed away the half-eaten porridge bowl, got up and left.Yang Ye hurriedly said, "Have you finished eating? Where are you going in a hurry?"

Ling Shu said: "I'm sleepy, go to sleep." Yang Ye didn't care about eating, and hurriedly followed.Followed all the way to the bedroom, watched Ling Shu wash and change by himself, and then lay down on the couch.He Fang leaned over, leaned over and laughed in a low voice: "I said to see brother tomorrow, are you angry?"

Ling Shudao: "Since you have returned to Luoyang, isn't your purpose just to meet your brother? This is expected. Why am I so angry? You think too much."

Yang Ye was speechless, just smiled, and said after a while: "Then I'm really going tomorrow." He stretched out his hand to hold Ling Shu's face and looked at it for a while, then said with a smile: "I see that your complexion is much better, hehehe...don't pretend to be dead, don't you Ignore me, come here."

On the second day, Yang Ye waited until Yang Xi came down to court before entering the palace to beg to see him.Yang Xi didn't summon the ministers to discuss matters, but watched the memorial in the living hall by himself.When Yang Ye entered the hall, the first thing he saw was the slightly shiny silver hair on his temples, which stood out against the dim winter sky outside the window, and his cheeks were also quite thin, giving him a haggard look.

He stared blankly, but didn't dare to rush over.At this time, Yang Xi also raised his head and saw him. The two brothers looked at each other for a moment, and felt a little strange after not seeing each other for a year.After a while, Yang Xi smiled, stood up and waved to Yang Ye: "Come."

Yang Ye ran over in a hurry, Yang Xi grabbed his hand, and then embraced him: "It's good that you're finally back."

Yang Ye leaned on his shoulder without saying a word, but he couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. After a long time, he said: "Brother, your hair is turning gray."

Yang Xi sighed: "I'm old." Turning his body to look at him again, he asked with a smile: "Are you in a hurry to go back to the palace? Can you stay here for lunch?"

Yang Ye nodded and agreed: "I brought you wine back from Sika, but you can't drink it lightly. I'll report to you the origin and efficacy of this wine later, and you can decide whether to drink it or not."

Yang Xi said: "However, do you still have to be so particular about drinking wine?" He has been in a depressed mood for several days. Although Yang Xi never punishes the servants lightly, the palace servants also feel uncomfortable seeing his face for so many days. .When they saw that the haze was suddenly swept away at this moment, and they were all smiling, they all secretly heaved a sigh of relief.The head servant stood by and waited at any time, and hurriedly said: "Then, this servant will let people prepare lunch."

During the dinner, Yang Xi asked about the details of this trip to Xijia, and Yang Ye would tell them one by one, and when he encountered Ling Shu, he just passed it vaguely.Yang Xi didn't delve too deeply into it, and when he heard the origin of Linglong Spring, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh.Yang Ye watched the words and expressions, and after a while, he said in a low voice: "The emperor is depressed, is it because the emperor's wife will not be able to raise any more children for the emperor?"

Yang Xidao: "Yes, that's why I can't drink this wine. Your sister-in-law is not in good health for a while, and I won't provoke her, and there is no place for entertainment after drinking it." There was a wry smile on his face, but his eyes flashed There was a faint look of disgust, and he thought it was the queen, but he was still too lazy to provoke her.

Yang Ye stopped talking and sighed.However, Yang Xi was aroused full of sorrow: "Now there is only An An, only one."

Yang Ye had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't have too many sons, just enough."

But it was obvious that Yang Xi didn't think it was enough, and he continued to sigh: "Oh, Fu'er, I can only pretend that I never gave birth to this child."

Yang Ye said: "Brother Huang, don't be sad." When he saw a circle of servants surrounding him, he waved his hands and said, "Retire first." Everyone walked out of the hall obediently, and Yang Ye said: "The agreement between the emperor and the emperor's wife is the emperor's agreement. Sister-in-law didn’t keep the promise first. Sister-in-law Huang has only added two princes to you since she married the emperor’s brother, and she insisted on letting Prince Cen occupy another one. Not to mention, if she can continue to give birth to several princes, the prince will Brother naturally won't pamper other concubines. But now she can no longer give birth to the emperor's son, that is, she broke the contract first, why does the emperor still keep the contract? The emperor can go to have a few more children with other concubines It’s nothing if you come out.”

Yang Xi tossed a pair of ebony and silver inlaid chopsticks back and forth in his hands, smiled but didn't speak.After a while, he said: "I have thought about this matter too. But your sister-in-law, she is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The gang of concubines in the harem are not her opponents. I am afraid that she will be terrified. If you really do There must be troubles in doing this, so we have to be on our guard in advance. Lord Cen dotes on his daughter, so Chang'an also has to be on guard. But which concubine should I choose? I was thinking about it, and let it be Nannan's sister. .”

Yang Ye said: "Brother Huang, I think this girl looks good, and she is quite smart. Brother Huang usually takes care of her more. If there is something wrong, I think she will react faster than others." He paused, He smiled and said: "Then my wine will come in handy? The emperor must reward me."

Yang Xi smiled and said: "Stinky boy, do you think Brother Huang is too old to be useful, and you still bring me wine? You wait, wait until I reward you with a meal, and punish you for the crime of lying."

At the New Year's Eve banquet at the end of the year, another good news came from the south. Beichenqing had led troops to capture Yuezhou, the capital of Qiongnan. *In the palace.After Bei Chenqing quickly sent people to clean up the scattered soldiers and horses around, Qiongnan was successfully taken over by Dayan's soldiers and horses.

This good news spread, and in an instant, the gloomy clouds of the previous period were cleared away.Yang Xi told Jing Huaiyu at the banquet: "You will come to Zhen's imperial study later to make the calculations, and then send a few civil servants to take over. Let General Beichen take care of the place, and return to the capital as soon as possible."

There were many civil and military officials at the New Year's Eve Banquet. Seeing that since Yang Ye returned to the capital, Yang Xi loved him more than before, so they naturally flocked to him and came over to toast with him in turn. Wheel battles were mixed with gang fights.Yang Xi didn't stop them from laughing, but just watched with a smile, his face full of connivance.

After these three times, even though Yang Ye is a good drinker, he can't help but get very drunk.By the end of the banquet, it was getting late, and he still wanted to struggle back to the palace. Yang Xi saw that he was stumbling and couldn't even walk steadily, and it was cold outside, so he frowned and said, "Don't go back, I will return the Yuhua Palace." You keep it. You will stay for one night, and you will follow me directly to the Taimiao to pay homage to the ancestors tomorrow before leaving."

The servants were clever, hurried up to help Yang Ye, and sent him to Yuhua Palace according to the emperor's order.Yang Xi followed and watched him rest before returning to his bedroom.

This sleep was very dark, when Yang Ye woke up, he felt a splitting headache, thought he was in his palace, and said: "I'm thirsty, give me some water."

Some water was brought to his lips, and Yang Ye drank it all in one gulp. When he looked up, he realized that it was the servant of the palace.Seeing the darkness outside, he scratched his head with his hands and said, "The New Year's feast is over? What time is it?"

The servant said: "His Royal Highness Huai, it's Shenshi in the afternoon of the first day of the lunar new year." Seeing that he still couldn't recover from his daze, he continued: "At Chenshi this morning, Your Majesty tried to ask you to get up and follow him to worship the ancestors, but you didn't call After waking up, he took his courtiers to go. Just now, I made a special trip to see him, and told you to have dinner with him before leaving after waking up."

Yang Ye stared and listened, but suddenly jumped up: "No, I have to go back quickly." He got up and ran out of the palace like a smoke.

He went back to the mansion in a state of embarrassment, and asked where Ling Shu was as soon as he entered the door, but he heard from the guards that Master Ling hadn't left the door of the dormitory since yesterday and today, and even sent in the food.

Yang Ye rushed to the bedroom in a hurry, and the lights were lit in the room.The plum blossom under the south window has already bloomed a few, exuding a faint fragrance.Ling Shu moved a book case to the side of the plum blossom at some point, and was concentrating on flipping through some old books by candlelight.

Yang Ye looked at him quietly for a long while, then slowly approached him, and asked with a smile, "What are you looking at? Didn't you come up with another "Longyang Eighteen Forms?"

Ling Shu didn't raise his head: "No. I asked Dali Temple to send the old files and flip through them casually." His tone was steady and his expression was calm, as if he didn't care about Yang Ye's absence on New Year's Eve.Yang Ye was slightly relieved, and then smiled apologetically: "I was drunk by them yesterday, so I stayed in the palace and dealt with it randomly all night. I didn't deliberately snub you, I will make it up to you tonight."

Among the piles of old books on his case, there was a brand new manual mixed in on the upper left side of the case.While accosting him, Yang Ye asked, "Is this your new dossier?" He reached out to pick it up, but Ling Shu quickly snatched the manual from him, saying, " This is mine, you can't see it."

Yang Ye was puzzled, squinted his eyes and squinted at him: "What's yours and mine? What's yours is mine! I never hide anything from you. I'll show you all of my heart. I showed you all over my body, you can look at all my things casually, I didn't say anything, but you are just so secretive, is it something shameful? I know, isn't it you During that year in the mountains, apart from hooking up with Qian Ning, what other friendships did you have? Hehehe, what is recorded in this book must be your romantic history?"

While talking nonsense, he peeped at the book, trying to snatch it from him when he was not prepared, but Ling Shu had been fooled by him before, and he confiscated two copies of "Longyang Eighteen Styles" in a row, so Taking precautions against him, he put the book firmly in his arms, brushed away Yang Ye's wolf claws, and then pinched his veins with his backhand.Yang Ye had no choice but to withdraw his hands, and said angrily: "Don't let me see you down! You are stingy!"

Ling Shu frowned slightly: "Why do you show me your heart, you hide a lot of things from me, what can I do to you?"

Yang Ye was taken aback, and hurriedly rushed over to mess with him, lest he go any further. Ling Shu had already seen through his tricks, so he stood up in time and said, "Eat. Do you want to eat?"

Yang Ye said angrily, "Eat! Why don't I eat the food from my own family?"

After the new year, the spring has begun, and the willows are newly colored, and the spring breeze is deep all night.Ling Shu kept Yang Ye's previous promise firmly in mind, and proposed to him to move to his old residence behind Dali Temple.Yang Ye didn't really want to live in that remote courtyard, but he couldn't deny it, so he reluctantly followed.

Ever since he returned to the capital, he has been so busy that he was always called by Yang Xi to the imperial study to discuss matters, and he gradually developed the rules.Yang Ye understands the hard work of the emperor's brother, if there are no accidents and miscellaneous things, he will go to the imperial study every day to wait for Yang Xi to come down.Thinking about it, now that my lover is by my side, the little days are happy, so even if I put in more effort, I am willing.Yang Ye is naturally very lively, and in his busy schedule, he had to find time to go out and have fun with his old friends.After being so busy, the days of staying out at night gradually increased.

On this day, Yang Ye went to the Imperial Study Room as usual, and the waiter who had been serving in the Imperial Study Room hastily invited him to sit down and serve tea.Today, it happened that Bai Tingbi was the first guard on duty outside the study room. Yang Ye snapped his fingers at him, and he followed in obsequiously.

Yang Ye saw it at a glance, and asked, "What's the matter, Xiaobai? Are you not happy to see me here? Don't want to serve?"

Bai Tingbi hurriedly said: "How dare Xiaobai?"

Yang Ye said: "I see that you have a sad face. Did you lose the money again? Wei Linxian and the others are always playing tricks. If you can't react, don't go fooling around with them. Be careful to lose your salary. Go back and your wife will beat you."

Bai Tingbi smiled and said: "My wife has a gentle temper, so she doesn't hit me, unlike Master Ling... Aww!" He was startled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, and looked at Yang Ye in horror with his big almond eyes.

Yang Ye raised his eyes and stared at him, seeing that he was so frightened that his tears welled up, so he snorted coldly: "You often chew my tongue behind my back?"
