Chapter 27:
Jun Huailang accompanied Xue Yan to kneel in the Buddhist hall all night.
In the second half of the night, he was a little sleepy, and in a trance, he didn't know when he fell asleep.
The next morning, he was awakened by the sunlight coming in from outside. When he opened his eyes, the candle in the Buddhist hall had been extinguished. The early morning sunlight filled the entire hall from behind him, and also cast the elongated shadows of the two of them on the golden Buddha's knees.
In the shadow, he was leaning on Xue Yan's shoulder.
Jun Huailang woke up and got up quickly. Following his movements, an indigo-colored cloak slid to the ground. It was the one that Concubine Shu asked him to bring last night.
Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan sleepily, and when he opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, with a frozen nasal voice: "This dress...?"
He didn't hear how soft his nasal voice was, but Xue Yan glanced at him inexplicably.
"I'm not cold." He stretched out his hand, picked up Jun Huailang's cloak that had fallen on the ground, and stood up neatly.
Jun Huailang also stood up with him. But after kneeling all night, his legs were numb, and when he suddenly exerted force, he stumbled, causing him to almost fall to the ground.
Following, he was supported by Xue Yan. Xue Yan held his clothes with one hand and his arm with one hand. He lifted it up and let Jun Huailang stand up easily and neatly with his strength.
This posture, as if he was leaning on Xue Yan.
Jun Huailang stood up, only to find that there was someone else in the Buddhist hall. It was the little novice from last night who was cleaning the hall. Feeling his gaze, the little monk raised his head, lowered his eyes gently and calmly, and bowed to him.
Only then did Jun Huailang realize that his actions with Xue Yan were too close to others. He also thought about how he slept on Xue Yan last night, and I don't know if anyone saw him. Jun Huailang's ears were a little hot, and Xue Yan's hand was quickly pushed away.
Even two boys are too close.
Jun Huailang nodded and thanked him.
"Let's go." Seeing that he was almost recovered, Xue Yan bent down and picked up the food box on the ground, and walked out first.
Jun Huailang also went out with him.
When the two returned to Mingluan Palace, Fuyi was already waiting at the door. Seeing Jun Huailang coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "My aunt heard that the young master didn't return overnight, but she was worried that it was broken. She had already asked the servant to prepare a pot to warm the ground dragon, so let the young master go back to warm up quickly. Warm up!"
Speaking, he looked at Xue Yan again, smiled shyly, and said, "The niangniang also specially instructed the servants to prepare more, and ask the Fifth Highness to have breakfast together. ."
Jun Huailang raised his lips and smiled slightly.
He knew. Although his aunt is domineering and flamboyant, she has a rare heart. Although her temperament is a little awkward, she can also guess her mind at a glance.
Jun Huailang couldn't help but glance at Xue Yan, and Xue Yan met his smiling eyes.
Xue Yan never knew that someone could be so beautiful just by smiling casually, making people feel comfortable in the heart, like the clean and transparent wind in the morning.
Originally, for him, Concubine Shu's show of affection was of no use, but it might bring him some trouble. But at this moment, he felt that it would be okay to solve more troubles, but it was just a little effort.
He hummed, and he was always taciturn, but he rarely said "Thank you" to Fuyi.
So early in the morning, Jun Huailang's house was very lively. The pot on the table was filled with fragrant lamb soup. It was simmered with lamb bones for six hours on a low fire. It was already boiled at this time, bubbling and bubbling, and the aroma and white smoke filled the air. Every room is. The palace maids and eunuchs at the table were preparing dishes, and they had a table full of meat and vegetables.
Jinbao is also there. He waited by Xue Yan's side for a while, but was frightened and emboldened. At this time, he helped the palace maids with a wink and a sharp, sweet mouth, which made the maids in Jun Huailang's room burst out. Laughing, poking his finger on his forehead, laughing and scolding him for being slippery.
As soon as Jun Huailang walked in, the pot and the earth dragon were hot, and he realized that he was freezing all over. A palace maid came and stuffed a hand stove for the two of them, and led them to take off their coats and sit down at the dining table, so that he could come back warm.
"Has Ling Huan woke up?" Jun Huailang took the hot tea and asked. "If you wake up, ask her to come and eat."
Not long after, a palace maid led Jun Linghuan in.
Jun Linghuan saluted Jun Huailang, and saw Xue Yan sitting next to him. Without Jun Huailang speaking, Jun Linghuan became embarrassed first, her face was a little red, and she saluted Xue Yan.
"I'm sorry, Brother Fifth Prince." She whispered. "Ling Huan was wrong yesterday, I apologize to you!"
Jun Huailang was relieved and couldn't help but glance at Xue Yan, but Xue Yan was also looking at him.
…My sister apologizes to you, what do you think I do?
But the next moment, Xue Yan turned his eyes away, looked at Jun Linghuan, and said lightly: "It's okay, I didn't care about it originally."
"Really!" Jun Ling laughed happily, and was very authentic. "Brother Fifth Prince, you are so kind, you are really a hero's chest, which can hold a full pommel horse!"
Jun Huailang couldn't help but glanced at the palace maid behind her reproachfully: "Don't let her, read her the words from the streets and alleys, and let her learn some slang words that are full of Jianghu spirit."
The maid hurriedly responded.
Jun Huailang raised her hand and greeted her to sit down, not forgetting to exhort: "This time I suffered a loss, but remember it well. Unfamiliar people, no matter who they are, should not be alone. Run after him."
Jun Linghuan should be obedient.
Jun Huailang added: "And those who speak ill of others behind your back, don't take it lightly. Those who say that others are tigers, wolves and monsters are actually the jackals themselves. heart."
Jun Linghuan snorted as if he understood, and took his words to heart.
It was Jinbao next to him, who couldn't help but burst out laughing.
His Royal Highness looks cold and unattainable, and is the most polite.
It was Yingyingyanyan in the room of His Royal Highness, everyone was friendly, and the excitement made him relax his vigilance, almost forgetting that his master is a temperamental, cold-hearted Yama.
Jinbao stood there for a while like a quail before carefully looking at his master, wanting to see if he had calmed down.
But seeing him sitting opposite His Royal Highness, he didn't look at himself for a long time, but his eyes swept over His Highness from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, in those eyes, there was also a smile that could not be hidden.
Jinbao pouted secretly.
I am also happy, why are you staring at me?
—
Jun Huailang had a lively meal in his room. After the meal, the maids took water for rinsing their mouths and hands and served them tea.
After the Qianqiu Banquet, as usual, the princes can rest for two days, so there is no need to rush to the Wenhua Palace to study.
At this moment, Dian Cui came.
"Yeah, did His Royal Highness have a meal?" She smiled and saluted the two of them. "That servant came by coincidence."
Jun Huailang raised her hand to flatten her and asked, "What's the matter with Aunt Dian Cui?"
Diancui smiled and said, "The slave servants are here today to find His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince. The niangniang gave an order last night, saying that I heard that the Fifth Prince would get up early every day and go to study in the backyard. Wu, I sent my servants to find some commonly used weapons to give him. The servants bought a set of weapon racks, and they were set up. I was about to ask the Fifth Prince to go down and see if there was anything missing."
Jun Huailang was a little puzzled when he heard this. When the fifth prince was in Concubine Shu's palace, that was something that everyone could not avoid. Before last night, Concubine Shu still hated him. Who would talk too much in front of Concubine Shu and talk about Xue Yan's trivial matters?
Jun Huailang still asked, "Oh, where is it?"
Diancui smiled and said, "It's in the front courtyard, close to the house of the Fifth Highness, and His Highness doesn't have to go around to the Queen every day."
Jun Huailang frowned and glanced out the window.
The Mingluan Palace of Concubine Shu is the most exquisite and unique, especially as the front courtyard of the front door, it has repaired a delicate and unique garden, and specially dug a living pool. On weekdays, Concubine Shu had to pass here when people came and went. The concubines and concubines gathered together and enjoyed the view of the vestibule in the corridor. Suddenly, a heavy and wide weapon rack was placed, and it was particularly abrupt among the pearls, jade, flowers and trees.
Whoever comes in can see it.
It seems to be specially placed here for everyone to see, to tell others how much Concubine Shu loves the fifth prince. Not to mention the concubines next to him, the emperor is coming every three or five minutes, and putting Xue Yan's belongings under his eyelids, wouldn't it be unpleasant to find him?
From here to the spacious backyard, it's just a walk around a main hall.
Jun Huailang glanced at Cui without a trace.
Since he moved into the palace, he felt that Diancui was not right, and now, the more he looked at it, the more suspicious he became.
On the bright side, she seems to be used to self-assertion, and she happens to dislike Xue Yan; but in fact, although she does things that are unfavorable to Xue Yan, in the end, she is pointing the finger at it. All of them are Concubine Shu.
Jun Huailang hid his thoughts and looked at the weapon rack with a curious expression, but was thinking in his heart, what excuse would he find to make Dian Cui move it to the backyard , You can still startle the snake without hitting the grass.
At this moment, he heard Xue Yan speak.
“Move to the backyard,” he said. "I'm used to practicing in the backyard, it's spacious."
Jun Huailang looked at Xue Yan in surprise, but saw that Xue Yan's eyes swept away from him, there was no emotion in his eyes, but he always let Jun Huailang It seems that Xue Yan has seen through his own thoughts.
Jun Huailang felt that she was thinking too much. Seeing Diancui's hesitant and unwilling look, he couldn't help but smile slightly, and said casually: "That's right, Aunt Diancui, although this weapon is placed in the front yard, although it is majestic, but if Fifth Highness accidentally breaks it Aunt's flowers and plants will make her unhappy again."
Speaking, he took a sip of tea, looked at Diancui who was speechless, and secretly admired her expression with pride.
