Your Majesty, he is as beautiful as a flower

It was the time of Hai, the bright moon was hanging high in the dark sky, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace. The civil and military officials who came to the palace banquet walked towards the gate of the palace in groups. Cheng Wanqiao and Yuchen walked slowly, falling behind. behind.

Cheng Wanqiao said: "I have nothing to do these days except going to court. If you want to enjoy the scenery of the capital, I will take you around when I have time. How about it?"

Yu Chen said: "Okay, I will follow His Highness's arrangements."

At this time, Cheng Jinliang chased up, walked on the left side of Yuchen, and walked side by side with the two of them, "Five emperors, you are not familiar with this capital. If the god does not dislike it, I can also take the god to go around the capital." let's go."

Cheng Wanqiao said: "I'm not familiar with the capital city, but I don't need to come in person to lead the way. There are plenty of people who are familiar with the capital city, so you don't need to bother the emperor."

Cheng Jinliang said: "Imperial brother, what you said is wrong. It is my honor to lead the way for the gods. Excuse me."

Cheng Wanqiao and Cheng Jinliang couldn't compare their tongues, Cheng Jinliang was very eloquent when he was young, and he was also the one who was the best at making the Queen Mother happy, so he was also the one who was favored by the Queen Mother, but he was stupid and always just stood aside silently.

Yuchen saw that Cheng Wanqiao had no words to retort, so he personally refused, "I appreciate His Highness's kindness, but I think I am very born, and I feel uncomfortable when there are strangers around."

Cheng Jinliang is notoriously thick-skinned, and he didn't care about Yuchen's intentions, "I was born once, I am acquainted twice. Today is the first time I met Shenjun. If we meet a few more times, we will naturally become acquainted." gone."

Yuchen had a faint smile on his face, "Your Highness said yes, but according to past experience, I don't bother to ask those who I have met, I guess I won't be able to get to know them in this life."

Although Yuchen was smiling, his words were tinged with thorns. This was the first time Cheng Wanqiao heard him say such words.

Even though he was as thick-skinned as the third prince, he felt a little hurt when he heard such words, he finally had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It was my negligence, I should have reported my name early in the morning, I am the third emperor brother of Wanqiao , Cheng Jinliang."

"The name of the third highness is a good name. If it is a woman, she must remember the name according to the third highness Yushu Linfeng. It is a pity that I am not a woman."

When the third prince heard this, he couldn't hold back at all. Could it be that he heard everything he and Cheng Wanqiao said at the banquet just now?

In front was the gate of the palace, the carriage was waiting early, and it was Lang who was driving the carriage.

Cheng Wanqiao said to the embarrassing third prince: "It's not early, and the third prince returned home earlier to rest."

The third prince tried his best to force a smile, "Go slowly."

Cheng Wanqiao and Yuchen got into the carriage one after another. There was a lantern hanging in the carriage, their vision was dim, and there was the rattling sound of wheels rolling on the stone slabs outside, other than that, there was no sound.

Yuchen looked at Cheng Wanqiao and saw that he was absent-minded, so he asked, "What is your Highness thinking?"

Cheng Wanqiao came back to his senses, and he said: "I remember, when I first met you, you never asked my name."

Yuchen smiled, "Didn't your Highness register yourself? If I ask again, it will seem cumbersome."

Cheng Wanqiao felt that he was petty, but he didn't expect such a big person to be entangled in such a small matter, "That's true."

Yu Chen added: "If His Highness doesn't report himself, I will definitely ask."

Cheng Wanqiao smiled, not knowing why he was so happy.

He said: "Tomorrow you will wait for me in Yixiang Mansion, and I will go there after I go to court."

"it is good."

-

Back at the mansion, Uncle Zhang was still waiting for him in the front hall. He was old and went to bed early on weekdays. After Cheng Wanqiao came back, he changed his habit of going to bed late and getting up early.

Seeing Cheng Wanqiao come back, Uncle Zhang ordered the boy to prepare hot water, and then went up to meet him with a lantern, walking in front to guide him.

Cheng Wanqiao said: "Uncle Zhang, I will return late in the future, so you don't have to wait for me."

"No problem, there is always someone left in this house to wait for His Highness to come back."

Cheng Wanqiao entered the room on his front foot, and the servant came in with hot water on his back foot, and waited for him to wash his hands and face.

Cheng Wanqiao was used to the casual life in the barracks, and when he came back, he was not used to having someone take care of washing and changing clothes, so he let them all go to rest, washed their faces, loosened their clothes and went to sleep.

For some reason, he didn't sleep well that night, he lay down at midnight and woke up again at Yinshi, it was a bit early to get up and go to bed, he sat up and planned to read a book.

Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the door. He was alert and looked at the door sharply, "Who is it?"

"Your Highness, it's me!"

Cheng Wanqiao stayed in the bed and put on a middle sheet, opened the door, and outside was one of his personal guards in Yixiang Mansion, he was injured, his hands were covered with blood.

Cheng Wanqiao's expression changed, "What happened?"

The guard was sweating from the pain, "Yixiang Mansion, there are assassins in Yixiang Mansion, and the guards have been drugged. The humble...the humble can't match them."

Cheng Wanqiao was shocked, he didn't care to ask any more questions, went back to the room and took the sword, went to Magai to pull the horse, and immediately rushed to Yixiang Mansion with the other guards in the house.

The sound of galloping horseshoes resounded in all directions on the silent street. Cheng Wanqiao, the leader, tightened his grip on the reins, and his heart was suspended. He only regretted that he couldn't fly, and the horse ran too slowly.

When he arrived at the gate of Qinyuan in Yixiang Mansion, he got off his horse and raised his hand to push the door, which was locked from the inside. He flew up and landed in the courtyard over the wall. He saw guards lying around the wall in disorder. It was drugged.

After the guards behind him investigated, they said, "Your Highness, they all died of poisoning."

Cheng Wanqiao ran inside, his chest was about to explode, he clearly checked carefully, what went wrong?Yuchen must not have any accidents!

Cheng Wanqiao hurried into the yard, and saw that the front hall was brightly lit, Yu Chen was already dressed and sitting drinking tea in the front hall, while Lang Yi dragged the body of a man in black out of the front hall and piled it together.

There was a pile of corpses of men in black in the yard.

Cheng Wanqiao was short of breath. Seeing that Yuchen was still alive, the stone in his heart was relieved, and he strode forward.

Yuchen put down the teacup in his hand and looked at him, "It's so early, Your Highness?"

The tone of the speech was light and calm, as if the pile of corpses outside were fake, Cheng Wanqiao hurried over, before he had time to catch his breath, "Are you okay?"

Yuchen said: "I was a little frightened, it's okay."

Cheng Wanqiao took another look at the pile of black-clothed corpses outside, "Are you from Jing?"

"Perhaps." Yuchen looked at him, he was only wearing a middle single, he didn't even have time to put on his outer robe, and he was only wearing a pair of cloth shoes, he seemed to come in a hurry, "So worried about me? "

Cheng Wanqiao saw his indifferent face, and he felt a little helpless, "As soon as I heard that there was an assassin, I immediately rushed over."

Yu Chen asked: "Your Highness, can you return to court today?"

Cheng Wanqiao looked at the sky outside, and he would go to court in another hour, but such a big incident happened in Yixiang Mansion, he still wanted to stay and deal with it, "Forget it, I've gone left and right, I can't say a few words talk."

After taking care of the Yixiang mansion, it was already noon, Cheng Wanqiao went back to the mansion and changed his clothes, and immediately went to the palace to report the matter to the emperor.

In the imperial study room, after Cheng Yan heard Cheng Wanqiao's report, Longyan was furious, and patted the desk in front of him, "It's unreasonable, Jing people dare to act wild in the capital!"

Cheng Wanqiao said: "Fortunately, the god is safe and sound."

Cheng Yan said: "Shenjun is my honored guest, we must not let him slip up in the slightest, Wanqiao, you pass on my order to send fifty elites to Yixiang Mansion, and you must keep Shenjun safe."

"Yes, Father." Cheng Wanqiao bent down again and said, "Father, I have a request."

"Say."

Cheng Wanqiao said: "I implore my father to allow me to let my son also move to Yixiang Mansion, so that I can be at the guardian's side."

Cheng Yan paused, "It's not that I, Da Qi, have no one. You are a dignified prince of a country, why are you going to join in the fun?"

Cheng Wanqiao had already guessed that the emperor would say this, and prepared his speech early, "Father also said just now that the emperor is the honored guest of the father, and it would be more sincere if the son guards him personally, and please give permission."

Cheng Yan looked at Cheng Wanqiao with a cold face, "Wanqiao, to be honest, why do you want to live in Yixiang Mansion?"

Cheng Wanqiao knelt down, "Father, I promised King Yu at Yu Lingxi that I would protect the god, but I was not there when the god was assassinated last night. Carve out the safety of the gods.”

Cheng Yan squinted his eyes and asked, "Then why don't you invite the emperor to your house?"

Cheng Wanqiao said: "The emperor is the royal father's guest, and the sons and servants are only responsible for guarding."

Hearing this, Cheng Yan nodded in satisfaction. If Cheng Wanqiao said that he could also invite him to the mansion, he might be furious. He said, "You also have a personal relationship with the god?"

"It's not a personal relationship, but it's just a little bit of affection for walking with the gods on the way back to Beijing."

Cheng Yan thought over and over again, "Since you took the initiative to ask for your life, then I will agree."

"Thank you, Father."

-

With His Majesty's permission, Cheng Wanqiao immediately had some luggage packed and went to Yixiang Mansion after returning home, and checked in that night.

Qinyuan is very spacious, even a mission of 30 to [-] people can live there.Yuchen lived in the main house, Cheng Wanqiao moved in and lived in the wing room.

The blood on the ground has been cleaned, and everything damaged in the fight has been repaired. The assassination last night did not leave a trace.

After dinner, Yuchen invited Cheng Wanqiao to play chess in his room. Although Cheng Wanqiao had never beaten Yuchen, his chess skills had indeed improved a lot.

Yuchen glanced at the night outside the window, "Unfortunately, His Royal Highness was going to take me on a tour of the city today, but someone ruined it."

Cheng Wanqiao dropped his head and looked up at him, "I will definitely go tomorrow."

Yuchen took his gaze back and landed on him, "However, I'm also a blessing in disguise."

Cheng Wanqiao really didn't see where the blessing was, "How should I say it?"

Yuchen touched the ground and won the game calmly, "Although he was assassinated, His Highness moved in because of this. Isn't this a blessing in disguise?"

Cheng Wanqiao didn't dare to say that he had no selfish intentions, yesterday he asked Yuchen if he was used to living in Yixiang Mansion, Yuchen said he was not used to it because he was missing.At that time, he thought in his heart that it would be great if he could be with him, but if he, a prince, moved to Yixiang Mansion for no reason, he would be subject to many speculations, and moving in on the grounds of protecting the god would be justified.He said: "It is my duty to protect you well."

Yuchen rested his head on his hands, and looked at him with his beautiful red phoenix eyes, "I don't dare to ask His Majesty to move here because of selfishness."

Cheng Wanqiao met his gaze, a faint blush appeared on his face.
