Imperial family

, Looking at the sparkling water under the bridge, he said: "I just thought about it a lot, and I think what the third brother said is reasonable. You are not the third brother before, and I am not the seventeen before. So, I can't let you go back to In the past, I couldn't be too harsh on you. It's just, third brother. After all, we are brothers, so can't you think about brotherhood?"

"Brotherly love?" Nangong Moxi murmured in a low voice and then laughed softly. "I'm afraid we can't be brothers."

He turned his head and looked into Nangongye's eyes. For a moment, Nangongye felt like a drum was beating in his heart, and many emotions that he didn't understand before were all understood for a while.But when he understood this, his face turned pale.

"Third, what did Third Brother say?"

"I mean, my crime."

Nangong Moxi shook his head, and went down the bridge, but it took Nangong Yeping to recover for a long time before he could keep up. "Did the third brother do that?"

Xin Zhao mentioned before that Nangong Ye didn't care about the truth of the matter at that time, but now he has to care.If his third brother wanted to leave the capital, he had to be innocent.

"It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. The important thing is that the first emperor of this case let it be settled."

"If it wasn't for the third brother's actions, I would definitely return the third brother's innocence!"

"What about after Qingbai?"

Nangong Moxi only asked such a shallow question, but Nangong Ye felt unable to answer, because what came to his mind was the little bit of blush that Xueya soaked and turned into a cup full of blood.

Miss Hua's peony picture cleverly tries to make a hundred flowers bloom, and Lord Wu Qin Fangzhai will exchange for a happy world and a peaceful world

Five days later, the Beichan envoy left Beijing.Many officials were sent to the city gate, and the emperor sent chariot generals to send people to the gate.Nangong Ye sat on the horse and looked at the mighty group of people, and subconsciously looked at Nangong Moxi's face - as usual, that person still had a dull expression on his face.

The spies reported that Sabu went to Prince Yu's mansion again last night.Although the two were just saying goodbye, Nangong Ye still had doubts in his heart.Logically, the envoy of Beichan and Nangong Moxi just met each other, so why are they like close friends?Nangong Ye instinctively felt that there was something wrong with it, so he sent someone to investigate.

A while after the envoy left, the brothers all went to the palace again for a gathering.

Not seen for many years, the brothers are not close.They are all in charge of their own cups.Nangong Ye sat in the last seat, watching Brother Qi Wang and Brother Jiu Wang talking a lot, but couldn't hear what they were talking about.But from their demeanor, it can be seen that they are very affectionate.As for the other brothers, Nangong Ye didn't even look at them.

"I heard that Brother Sanwang has been in the capital for a few years, but it doesn't match Brother Sanwang's temperament."

This is what Twelve said, Nangong Ye glanced up, "Brother Twelve Wang really cares about Brother Three Wang."

These [-] really didn't mean to spy. He originally had a very simple mind, and like Nangong Moxi, he liked to play with words.Not seeing him for many years, he just wanted to ask Brother Wang's recent situation and ask for advice.Nangong Ye felt bad about her face like this, and felt very upset.He was about to speak again, but he heard Nangong Moxi say, "This king really hasn't been out of the capital in recent years. After all, he's getting older, so it's not like before." What he said before was referring to his youth.What I said made everyone realize that time passed so quickly.

"Even if Brother Wang is idle in Beijing, he must have a masterpiece."

Nangong Moxi smiled lightly, and replied that they were not popular, so she would not show her shame.

When she was young, apart from her love for Shi Qi, the little emperor's younger brother, she had a lot of contact with Shi Twelve.The two have similar temperaments, so naturally they communicated a lot.Twelve seemed to come prepared, and sent someone to take a painting. "This is a picture of hundreds of flowers that my younger brother drew a few days ago. Brother Wang can give you some pointers."

The picture scroll unfolded, and everyone else also looked at it.

Hundreds of flowers are blooming in the painting, butterflies are flying among them, and the eyes are full of spring.Now that it's autumn, I have to wait until the coming year to paint landscapes.Everyone nodded in praise, regardless of sincerity or hypocrisy, they were all applauded.Twelve looked at Nangong Moxi, hoping to get something out of his mouth.

"The twelve younger brothers have made great progress in painting."

Just Dajin?Twelve frowned. "Brother San Wang also painted a picture of hundreds of flowers?"

"Never."

Nangong Ye laughed, which seemed particularly abrupt at this moment.Twelve asked him if he had a good opinion, and he said: "Brother Twelve, didn't you forget, this king has always hated these things, so there is nothing wrong with smiling."

Twelve felt that Seventeen was here to stab him today, so he was very upset, and was about to step forward to argue, but was startled by a chuckle again.This smile came from outside the palace.Everyone turned around to look, and saw a woman wearing a light blue fairy dress standing at the door, behind her was a maid holding a brocade box, very cautious.

"Miss Hua?"

"Greetings to all the princes."

After he made a blessing, he headed towards the painting of hundreds of flowers on the twelfth.He glanced at it and smiled.Twelve asked her if she had any advice.She said, "I dare not advise, but I think the other one is better."

"Oh?"

This Miss Hua is Taiwei Hua's favorite daughter, and she is still at home in her twenties, not married.In the early years, many people who came to ask for marriage stepped on the threshold, but now there are fewer, because they are all clear-hearted, and the emperor issued an order to allow Huaxiang to Nangong Moxi.

In fact, these two people are also strange, Hua Xiangrong did not marry for many years in order to choose a husband, but why did Nangong Moxi not marry for many years?This doubt is buried in the hearts of many people, but they dare not ask, and cannot ask.

Thinking about their group of brothers, even the youngest Nangong Ye has several concubines, but the third brother is still single.

Everyone looked between Nangong Moxi and Hua Xiangrong for a long time, thinking in their hearts, maybe this is the rumored fate.

"I have a painting here, which is also a painting of hundreds of flowers."

Hua Xiangrong opened the brocade box in the maid's hand, took out the painting, and the scroll unfolded, which surprised everyone.

Besides the two peonies, is there anything else in this painting?

Nangong Ye thought this painting looked familiar, but he didn't remember where he saw it.After thinking for a long time, I remembered that it was put together with many predecessors' posthumous works in Qinfangzhai.But this is a peony picture, how can it be called a hundred flowers.Nangong Ye stood aside with his hands behind his back, listening to how Hua Xiangrong justified himself.

"This painting skill is indeed better than this king, but how can it be called a hundred flowers for just two peonies?"

Twelve was puzzled and looked at Hua Xiangrong.Hua Xiangrong turned her head and glanced at Nangong Moxi who didn't say a word.

"Which prince knows the reason?"

No one answered.Hua Xiangrong looked around and walked up to Nangong Moxi: "Does His Royal Highness know?"

"In my opinion, it's just a peony picture, nothing special."

Hua Xiangrong's expression darkened, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, when he wanted to speak, he heard Nangong Ye say, "Perhaps, this king knows."

"His Royal Highness Wu knows?"

She opened her mouth in doubt, with a complicated look on her face, she couldn't tell whether it was surprise or joy?Nangongye took two steps forward, looked at the picture of peonies, and said with a smile: "Not only this king knows, but His Royal Highness King Yu also knows."

"Wu Wang Gao has seen this king."

Nangong Moxi was not shocked by honor or disgrace, and said something lightly.Nangong Ye laughed, "When Emperor Yuan of the Hongchen Dynasty was not enthroned, he asked his teacher to calculate when the army would be able to invade Shengjing. At that time, the gentleman said that peonies are blooming, and a hundred flowers are blooming. Emperor Yuan thought that April would be the time to invade the capital. , However, after April, the forces of all parties rose up, and the situation of a hundred flowers competing for beauty began."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.But Nangong Ye smiled and said: "Now that the peonies are in bloom, all the flowers are also in bloom. Cousin, is this king right?"

These words mentioned hundreds of flowers and peonies, but no one standing in this hall knew the true meaning of the words.The sudden death of the first emperor and the successful ascension of the crown prince made all the kings have some thoughts in their hearts.But in the end, on the surface, brothers and sisters are respectful, and Beichan went south to invade Huihui, so there can't be any political changes at this time.Now that Beichan has fallen, and the country has been disturbed by many years of war, it is a good time for peonies to bloom on both sides.

Hua Xiangrong's clever use of knocking the mountain to shake the tiger, warned the kings that a hundred flowers are competing for beauty at this time, but it depends on the method.The third brother didn't point out that firstly, he didn't want to be a leader, and secondly, he was standing on the same line with the emperor, so what he said seemed to mean what the emperor meant.It's a pity that Hua Xiangrong came up with this idea.In the final analysis, it doesn't matter whether he, Nangong Moxi, or Nangong Ye, said the deep meaning.Because they are on the front line.

However, compared to Brother Seventh and Brother Nineth King, if he, the seventeenth brother, hadn't been the one to do this, I'm afraid the game would have been ruined.

Hua Xiangrong applauded and said yes.Twelve turned pale, and immediately closed his picture scroll and fled in a hurry.Nangong Ye sneered and didn't make a statement.The others also stayed for a while and left one after another.

Nangong Moxi was the last one left.When he left, he glanced at Hua Xiangrong, there was too much disapproval in his eyes.Hua Xiangrong bit her lip and looked aggrieved.

Although your exquisite heart is thoughtful, you still don't catch my third brother's eyes.

Nangong Ye felt happy.strode away.

Nangong Ye didn't go after Nangong Moxi either, but walked alone, thinking about what happened today.Xin Zhao didn't know what happened in the palace, but he could also see that King Wu's joy came from his heart.

"Xin Zhao, this king has decided to investigate the case in the early years."

Xin Zhao was slightly surprised, "My lord why suddenly..."

"If the third brother really didn't do it, I will return his innocence."

"That must involve several princes."

Nangong Ye smiled, "A hundred flowers are blooming, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Xin felt a little uneasy, but he didn't say anything.He only felt that the first emperor's reluctance to investigate these matters was probably for the sake of protecting all his nephews, and his prince thought so too.Something must have happened today that caused the prince to change suddenly.

"The prince cares about the brotherhood."

Nangong Ye frowned, "This king just wants the truth, and we'll talk about what happens after the truth."

"promise."

The two rode horses one behind the other.When passing by Qinfangzhai, Nangongye stopped for a while.He got off his horse and went into the shop.I looked around and couldn't see the boss, so I asked the buddy, and he said the boss had gone out.

Nangong Ye sat aside, waiting for him to come back.

The guys all recognize His Highness the King of Wu, so how dare they neglect him.Haocha is waiting for you, and you only hope that the boss will come back soon.

Nangong Ye took a sip of tea and went to look at the paintings of various houses. There was indeed a picture of peonies missing in the middle.

"I remember that there was a painting of peonies here, where did it go?"

"Go back to the prince, someone bought it this morning."

Nangong Ye nodded.Did you just buy it this morning? "Do you know who painted that painting?"

The guy shook his head, only saying that the boss has always loved it and didn't want to sell it.But there is also a discerning person over there, so I insisted on buying it.After weighing the matter, the boss still gave up.

It turned out to be the case.

After waiting for half a cup of tea, the boss of Qinfangzhai finally came back.Seeing Nangong Ye, he immediately saluted and saw An, and Nangong Ye didn't talk nonsense with him, he just opened his mouth to ask for a seal of lovesickness.This embarrasses the boss of Qinfangzhai.

"What? I sold a piece of treasure during the day, and now I still feel distressed?"

"How dare you."

"This king will not take that thing for nothing." Nangong Ye put down the teacup, "You are a smart person who knows that it is not suitable for you to hold it, so you want to give it to King Yu, but it is a pity that Prince Yu thinks it is not suitable to hold it. Le The thought of Shi Qingping is not something that everyone can have."

The boss was so frightened that he knelt down, "The villain is guilty."

"This king will naturally exchange it for a worthy treasure. You are willing to exchange it."

This sounds like a discussion, but it is actually a threat.The boss was even more frightened: "It's not that the villain doesn't want to change it, it's...that thing was changed the next day."

"Who!"

"It's the envoy who came with the two princes that day. The villain dare not lie to the truth."

Nangong Ye snorted coldly, "You don't dare to lie."

Now that the lovesickness seal has been replaced, he doesn't want to stay here either.She pulled the hem of her skirt and strode out.

Xin Zhao followed behind and asked what is the lovesickness seal?Nangong Ye didn't explain, jumped on the steed, and rode back home.

Mo Xi stepped on the snow to look for plums before the banquet to chase the past, and the Queen Mother asked about the wedding on her birthday

After nearly half a month in Beijing, things happened one after another, Nangong Ye felt that he was busy every day.

First, the elder brothers invited them to hunt, listen to a play, or go to the palace to visit the Queen Mother.Later, Xin Zhao suggested that he should visit Lord Taiwei when he has been in Beijing for so long.Originally Nangong Ye had no such plan, but thinking of what Hua Xiangrong did a few days ago, he agreed.

Before arriving at the Taiwei's residence, Nangong Ye saw Hua Xiangrong's carriage, and it seemed that he was about to go out.He ordered people to follow her, and then he went to the gate of Taiwei's mansion, sat on the horse, and waited for Hua Taiwei to come to welcome him.

Hua Taiwei hurried out, Nangong Ye dismounted from the horse and said with a smile, "How is uncle doing these days?"

His ancestors called him uncle, which surprised Hua Taiwei.Then he said: "It's all good."

The two entered the mansion and chatted a lot.Nangong Ye took a sip of tea and looked at the master with a smile: "Uncle will be very busy these days. Mother's birthday, cousin's wedding, everything is not easy."

The Empress Dowager's birthday has always been arranged by Taiwei Hua. Earlier, there was an envoy from Beichan who came to court, so there was a delay.Now he is in a hurry to arrange things for the birthday banquet, what kind of program and what kind of theater troupe he wants, all of which are in his eyes.In addition, what the emperor meant was that Hua Rongrong should be married to Prince Yu's mansion after her birthday. Among the wedding matters, there are many things involved, which is really not easy.

"These are the favors of the Queen Mother."

"Uncle still talks to me about these scenes." Nangong Ye smiled, "I haven't come to my uncle's house for many years, my uncle and nephew are still unfamiliar, right?"

Taiwei Hua raised his head and looked at Nangongye, trying to see from his eyes whether the words were true or false, but he only saw his eyes full of smiles. "Where is it? I'm really busy, but it's a blessing from heaven."

"When is my cousin's wedding date? If you can make it in time, I will make a backup gift."

"It hasn't been decided yet, but it is said to look at what the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness Yu Wang themselves mean."

Nangong Ye nodded, and told Taiwei Hua a lot about the past.It took more than an hour before leaving Taiwei's mansion.After walking quite a distance, Xin Zhao said, "Lord Taiwei, guard against the prince."

Nangong Ye sneered: "Uncle should be wary of this king. After all, Hua Xiangrong's painting was broken by me that day. Although..." He looked back, and saw Hua Xiangrong's carriage again: "Although I said that I was on the front line with the third brother, Taiwei Hua knew about the case that was opened in the early years." He looked at Xin Zhao again: "Tell me, now you can not guard against me."

"The prince and the emperor are brothers."

"So what about my brothers, my king is away all year round, so I can't compare to their closeness. After all, once the emperor and courtiers, even if this king has a heart, it may not be that the other party is willing to go ashore."

"But that..."

Nangong Ye pulled the rein and stopped: "The case together did not damage the third brother's reputation. It's just that he has been trapped in Beijing all these years, and those with insight can always guess it. The king is only worried that this matter has nothing to do with the queen mother. It can't be delayed."

Zhao Xin was startled, "The Queen Mother..."

Nangong Ye pressed his index finger on his lips to signal him to keep silent.As long as they are innocent about this matter, there is no need to say it.Today I came to Taiwei Hua's mansion, judging from his attitude towards himself, I'm afraid it's...

In the battle for the Crown Prince back then, the Holy Majesty and the third elder brother were each leading the way.If someone deliberately plans for her son, no matter how suspicious they are, they will never doubt her, but it is not ruled out that someone kills two birds with one stone.

Nangong Ye raised his whip and went to the mansion even faster.

A few days later, the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday.The palace is very lively.

King Wu was originally the youngest son of the Empress Dowager, and the seat was next to the Empress Dowager, and on the other side was the current Holy Majesty.Next came Wei Wang and Jin Wang, who were both descended from the Queen Mother.After that, there are other princes and courtiers, not to mention one by one.

Early this morning, the children and grandchildren had already paid homage to the Queen Mother, and each of them took out gifts, which made the old man laugh from ear to ear.In the evening, they each accompany each other to listen to the opera and watch various performances on the stage in the lake.The Queen Mother was overjoyed, and hugged Nangongye tighter.

Hua Xiangrong entered the palace during the day, and at that time he also celebrated his birthday together, and then chatted with the queen mother for half a day.Now sitting in the seat, with a cute face.

Nangongye looked at Hua Xiangrong's direction, and remembered that when she visited Taiwei's mansion, she went out by car.He also thought that later someone would report back, saying that Hua Xiangrong had gone to Prince Yu's Mansion and stayed in the mansion for an hour before coming out.When they came out, it was Prince Yu who sent them into the car himself.However, no one knows what the two said in Prince Yu's mansion.

Nangong Ye looked at Nangong Moxi again, he was as graceful as usual.It's hard for ordinary people to pay attention to him like this, but once they notice, it's hard to look away.

When Nangong Ye was staring at Nangong Moxi, Zhao Xinfu whispered a few words in his ear.Seeing that Nangong Ye's face froze, he took a fancy to Hua Xiangrong. "true?"

"Don't dare to make mistakes."

Nangong Ye waved his hand to let people go down.Seeing his movements, the queen mother hurriedly pulled him: "What's the big deal, I'm still busy with the queen mother."

Nangong Ye smiled obediently, and even fell in love with his mother: "I just want people to prepare for it. Later, I will perform for my mother to celebrate her birthday."

"You are the King of Wu now, don't be so nonsense!"

His mother valued status the most, so naturally he was not allowed to perform on stage, which was exactly what she wanted.Nangong Ye was only aggrieved for a while, and then leaned into his mother's arms: "All the sons and ministers listen to the queen mother."

The queen mother pouted and blamed: "If you have listened to the queen mother, how can you be the first bird yourself."

This is what a flower blooms.Nangongye looked at Hua Xiangrong with more smiles in his eyes: "Mother, I don't dare to do it. It is because I know that the mother is protecting the son, so I am so presumptuous. Could it be that the mother is blaming it?"

The Empress Dowager stared, feeling even more distressed: "You!"

Nangong Ye knew his mother's temperament, so he naturally knew what to say.Just now Zhao Xin replied to him, the congratulatory gift that Hua Xiangrong gave to the Queen Mother was the painting of peonies.

The queen mother likes flowers and birds, but she doesn't particularly like calligraphy and painting.Hua Xiangrong knew it but still did it, what was the purpose behind it?In the past, Nangong Ye had to make a good guess, but now he doesn't have to.Since Nangong Moxi was right next to him, I'm afraid that the painting of peonies was made by his third brother.In this way, Hua Xiangrong secretly told the Queen Mother that King Yu had the intention of surrendering.Even when a hundred flowers are blooming, King Yu is also on the emperor's side.

Although she didn't explain who the peony came from, how could she not find out with the empress mother's wrist.

This woman is indeed underestimated.Then when she went to Prince Yu's mansion that day, she was probably talking about these things.So what does the third brother think of such a woman?

Nangong Ye felt a little nervous in his heart.

The stage play is over.The drama here seems to have just begun.

"Mother, Brother San Wang is known as the number one scholar in Dahui, and his piano skills are superb. Why don't you play a song on your birthday to express your heart?"

Nangongye looked over in a blink of an eye, and it was his seventh brother Wei Wang Nangonghong who was speaking.Nangong Ye felt unhappy, and was about to say something, but heard Nangong Moxi say: "If the queen mother does not give up, I am willing to perform."

The queen mother looked at it and agreed.

Nangong Ye had a smile on his face, but his heart suddenly throbbed.

"Dahui's No. [-] scholar is really ashamed to be a minister, but the minister's qin skills are not bad, but he doesn't know that besides qin skills, he is also good at one thing."

"Oh?" The emperor was curious, but he didn't know.

Nangong Moxi wiped his waist and pulled out a soft sword.The guard stepped forward nervously but was stopped by the emperor: "I forgot, the third emperor's younger brother is very good at swordsmanship."

Nangong Moxi looked at the soft sword with a smile, and looked towards Hua Xiangrong.Hua Xiangrong was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood, and stepped forward to salute: "His Royal Highness King Yu dances with a sword, and I use the zither to meet him."

The emperor agrees.

The sound of the piano sounds, and the posture moves.Hua Xiangrong is like a song of high mountains and flowing water, but Yu Wang Nangong is not afraid to step on the snow to find plums.The two were originally a fiancé couple, and when they saw the two dancing swords and playing the piano, they felt that they were a match made in heaven.

Nangong Ye saw the light figure of the man in the python suit, moving his sword through clouds and flowing water, and felt that this scene should only exist in the sky.I don't feel fascinated by it.When he was in a trance, he thought of the man who saw this celestial figure for the first time many years ago.

At that time Nangong Ye was only five years old, and the queen mother hardly let him leave her side.He was not very familiar with the older brothers, except for the Big Brother, the Seventh Brother and the Ninth Brother, he hardly knew anyone.

At that time, he was already endowed with great favor, and no one dared to say a word in the palace.At that time, he didn't know that there was a plum garden in the west corner of the palace.Until the winter when he was five years old, he accidentally broke into it while playing hide-and-seek with a few royal sisters.At that time, it was sunny after the snow, and the plum blossoms were lying on the snow, which was very magnificent.The faint plum scent led him to go inside.

The next thing that catches the eye is a group of strangers in blue clothes, dancing swords among the plum trees, his clothes fluttering, as if a god descended to earth.Nangong Ye felt shocked in his heart.The man in green probably felt that someone was intruding, and he pointed his long sword, scaring Nangong Ye to fall down in the snow, the tip of the sword only stayed an inch in front of his nose.For a moment, he was frightened and cried.

When the man saw him crying, he was also a little nervous.Quickly squatted down and asked him if he was scared?He just cried, too scared to speak.But it also made him see the tense look of the god-man who looked like a mortal like a mortal.

The little eunuch didn't dare to enter the plum garden when he came to look for him, but he couldn't control it when he heard Nangong Ye's crying.He broke in and knelt in the snow: "Please forgive me, Your Highness, I don't know that His Highness Seventeen entered the plum garden and disturbed His Highness."

The man stood up, his tense face became quite dull: "Then take Shi Qi out." He walked into the room and closed the door unexpectedly.

"Thank you, Third Highness, thank you, Third Highness."

The little eunuch picked up Nangong Yeliu and walked out of the plum garden.

From then on, Nangong Ye often went to the small courtyard in the west corner of the palace.But the Third Highness was sometimes there, sometimes not, and he didn't know until he was older.That plum garden is the favor bestowed by the father on the third brother, and the third brother will sit there for a while when he is free.He also realized that apart from himself, his father also dotes on Nangong Moxi very much.

Otherwise, how come their brothers and sisters' names are all single characters, but only his third brother's name is two characters?

Nangong Ye woke up from the memory, looking at Nangong Moxi who was still dancing with the sword.I thought in my heart, maybe it was because I saw his attitude from closeness to alienation at the beginning that I pestered him.

The sound of the piano falls, and the long sword is retracted.

"The minister is showing his ugliness."

The queen mother nodded and praised a few words.Nangong Moxi and Hua Xiangrong backed away from each other.At this time, the fireworks are in full bloom, and the night sky is like a hundred flowers in full bloom.Looking at Nangong Moxi's raised profile, Nangong Ye smiled softly.

"Has the wedding date of King Yu and Rong'er been set?"

The Empress Dowager suddenly mentioned it, causing Nangong Moxi to turn around: "The Empress Dowager is also the one to make the decision."

The queen mother nodded, looked at Hua Xiangrong, waved to Hua Xiangrong, and asked someone to come to her: "Has Rong'er made a decision?"

Hua Xiangrong's face blushed when she asked this question: "It's up to the Queen Mother to decide." She blushed and lowered her head, but her eyes looked at Nangong Moxi, who happened to be looking at Nangong Moxi, her eyes met, her face It became redder again.

"Then let Aijia pick a good day for you."

"Thank you, Empress."

"Thank you, Empress."

The two sounds overlapped, and the two looked at each other again, and turned their faces away.

The banquet was over, Nangong Ye sent the Queen Mother back to the palace and thought of going to the Plum Garden for another look.Nangong Mo Xi's sword dance just now reminded him too much of the past. Now that 16 years have passed, Nangong Ye felt a little unbearable to see him stepping on the snow and looking for plums.

Pushing open the gate of the plum garden, walking in the plum forest for a while, thinking about many other things in my mind.Looking up again, I saw Nangong Moxi pushing open the window of the hut, the two looked at each other, as if they had gone back to a long time ago.

Nangong Ye grinned and called out, "Third brother."

He used to call his elder brother Huangxiong, only this one, he called him third brother.

"Seventeenth brother."

Nangong Moxi also called out lightly, the two of them looked at each other through a window, neither of them wanted to look away.

The lotus pond is left alone with interesting childhood stories, and the quarrel between the two brothers regenerates their rift

Compared to Nangong Ye, Nangong Moxi's mood was much calmer at this time, and he never thought that his set of walking in the snow and looking for plums would have such an impact on Nangong Ye.So he just looked at Nangong Ye quietly, wondering why the other party came here.

"Third brother, the plum blossoms haven't bloomed yet."

"It's not the time."

Nangongye bowed his head, yes, it's not the season yet.He stood there quietly, looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, "Third brother, do you still remember the first time I saw you dance sword?"

Nangong Moxi didn't want the other party to mention this suddenly.Looking at him in surprise, Nangong Ye didn't look at him, but only looked at the moon as if he was recalling a long time ago.

"Third brother, let's go. The palace gate is about to close."

He didn't even think about asking Nangong Moxi to answer that question.

The two walked side by side on the road, Nangong Ye had ordered the carriage to wait at the gate of the palace before, and now he wanted to take a walk with Nangong Moxi.Both of them were silent and walked slowly.

Suddenly, Nangong Ye stopped, "Third brother, do you still remember this pool?"

Nangong Moxi turned his head to look, and saw a lotus pond that had been defeated.It's not the time for flowers to bloom, and it's a bit decadent. "Remember."

How can I not remember it.

At that time, Nangong Ye, who was seven years old, stretched out his hand and pulled himself in.He still remembered that his face turned red, and he had a water fight with Nangong Ye under the surprised eyes of the court ladies and eunuchs.

It has been 14 years since that time.

"I dragged third brother in, does third brother blame me?"

Seeing Nangong Ye slowly walking towards the pool, Nangong Moxi also slowly followed.The two of them looked at the moonlight reflected in the pond, feeling a little absent-minded for a moment.It's like hearing the laughter of the year and the nervous pleadings of the maids and eunuchs.

Nangong Moxi thought, he was only at that time, and kept telling himself to be calm, and that the royal children should not show their emotions, but he was dragged into the pool by the youngest brother, causing a commotion.

When he went back that day, he was reprimanded by his mother and concubine. He also heard that Nangong Ye had a fever when he went back and was sick for more than seven days.This matter made Nangong Moxi feel guilty for a long time, waiting for that little figure to appear in the plum garden every day, afraid that he would blame herself.Half a month later, the thick Nangong Ye came over.When he saw Nangong Moxi, his big eyes flickered, he jumped and ran over and called third brother.It seems that from that moment on, the third brother became the third brother.

The little Nangong Ye was still a little scared, and timidly asked Nangong Moxi if she was sick.

"Third brother practices martial arts every day to strengthen his body, how can he get sick so easily."

"Then I will also practice martial arts, and I will become strong. Then I won't be sick, and I can play with my third brother again."

"Okay, then I'll wait."

This waits until the king builds the mansion.

A chill came over, Nangong Moxi took a few steps back, stretched out his hand to wipe his face, it was a little wet.He looked towards Nangong Ye, and saw the younger brother smiling triumphantly: "What is third brother thinking, so engrossed." Obviously he splashed some water on himself.

"Nothing, go back."

Nangong Moxi turned around and left, Nangong Ye raised his heel to follow.The two walked side by side for a while, before Nangong Ye said: "Third Brother, do you think about the past? Third Brother said he was waiting for me to play together, but he didn't wait for me anymore."

What he said was to accuse Nangong Moxi of being indifferent and alienated, but Nangong Moxi pretended not to hear, and stepped a little faster.

Nangong Ye was furious, and raised his hand to grab Nangong Moxi's arm.Unexpectedly, the other party avoided it like a snake and quickly broke away, and even took a few steps back.For a moment, Nangong Ye felt a chill in his heart: "Third brother?"

"Let's go, the palace gate should be closed."

"Why is third brother afraid of me?"

"My king doesn't have one."

"Then what are you hiding from?"

Nangong Moxi couldn't answer, and his feet were even faster.Nangong Ye immediately chased after her: "As soon as my mother's birthday is over, I have to go back to the fief, and I don't know when I will see you again. How can third brother not get close to me like this?" Seeing that the person still didn't answer, Nangong Ye said again: " How long will the third brother wrap himself up? Do you have to stretch out your hands and peel it off before the third brother is willing to be honest?"

"Seventeen." Nangong Moxi stopped suddenly, and looked back at his younger brother who had been swearing: "You are the younger brother, and I am the older brother. Seniors and young are ordered, do you know?"

"Third Brother is now a guilty minister, and Seventeen is the king of Wu who is as prestigious as the world."

Nangong Moxi was taken aback, only then did he realize that Nangong Ye had grown so big.

"You've really grown up."

"Third brother, don't be angry, I didn't mean that." Nangong Yefang was forced to say that, "Seventeen is all for the third brother's sake."

"Seventeen! Nangong Ye!" Nangong Moxi roared angrily, making Nangong Ye pause, "You don't have to think about me, you have to think about the emperor and the queen mother!"

"Of course I think about them, but third brother is so indifferent to me, I..."

"You think about them, so naturally I can't get close to you." Nangong Moxi showed hatred in front of Nangong Ye for the first time.Then he flicked his sleeves and left.

This kind of Nangong Moxi is already very frank, he has said clearly that he is not on the same line with the emperor and queen mother.If Nangong Ye stood there, the two of them must be strangers.

Nangong Ye's eyes hurt a little, and he opened his mouth to say something, but found that the person had already walked away.

Out of the palace gate, on the carriage.He was still in a daze, with Nangong Moxi's eyes full of hatred in his head.He thought, he can only find out this way now, otherwise he will always be excluded by Nangong Moxi.

"My lord, why are you wet?"

As soon as Chu Sheng saw his prince come back, he knew it was not good. Today, he came back wet from the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.I'm afraid that he was angry again, and Chu Sheng didn't dare to ask, but his heart ached so badly.Immediately prepared hot water, waiting for people to change clothes and take a bath.Nangong Moxi opened his mouth, but before he could speak, Chu Sheng threw the clothes into the brazier.The flame slowly burns up, and it burns bigger and bigger.

At night, Chu Sheng heard the sound of ping-pong-pong in Nangong Moxi's room, and went to see it early the next morning. Everything in the room that could be smashed was smashed, and everything that could be knocked down was knocked down. It was like being attacked by a thief. .Nangong Moxi sat neatly on the edge of the bed, as if nothing had happened, and smiled innocently when she saw Chu Sheng: "It's messed up."

Chu Sheng's heart suddenly hurt, and he walked up immediately, not knowing what to ask.Nangong Moxi's state shocked him. Ever since he burned his clothes, Chu Sheng felt something was wrong, and now he has started to demolish the house.Nangong Moxi, who had always been indifferent, was furious what was the reason for the excitement.

"My lord, my lord." Chu Sheng's voice began to tremble, but Nangong Moxi comforted him and said, "My lord is fine, you don't have to worry. My lord wants to go to the pavilion to rest for a while, so you find someone to clean it up."

"My lord, it's cold in the pavilion, you'll get sick."

"How can this king get sick?" He smiled slightly and went to the pavilion in the courtyard.There is a soft couch there, and he likes to lie on it and read a book the most.

After Chu Sheng asked someone to clean up, he went to the pavilion to take care of him, but the person he saw had already fallen asleep.It looks like I didn't sleep all night last night.

Chu Sheng pulled the blanket on his body for him so as not to catch a cold. He saw someone rubbing against the couch, muttered something softly, and a line of tears fell like this.

The hand holding the blanket froze for a moment, because he clearly heard his lord say "Seventeen, don't go." The shock in his heart cannot be said to be insignificant, but what does this sentence mean?

After the queen mother's birthday, all the feudal lords will go back to their fiefs, and the prince told His Highness King Wu not to go?Chu Sheng faintly felt that this was definitely not the case, what kind of person Nangong Moxi is, now shed tears in her dreams to let others, could it be...

Chu Sheng was taken aback by his own thoughts, and stared blankly at the sleeping face of his prince.After a long time, he sighed heavily, looked at the scenery outside the pavilion and thought, how bitter such a road must be, why bother, my lord?

After a period of time, Nangong Moxi stayed in the mansion for a long time, and then she was willing to go out, so she went to Qinfangzhai.As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, he saw the carriages of King Jin and King Wei. This battle must be back to the fiefdom.Nangong Moxi felt calm, and was about to enter the shop when he heard: "Brother Sanwang, what a coincidence."

Nangong
