As soon as the four had finished their meal, Lu Hua came in a hurry. After saluting, he said quickly:
"Master, there are people in the palace. The emperor calls you to the palace."
"Well."
Xiao Yiyuan was not surprised. After all, although he and Xia Jin did not come back in a big way, it was impossible for him to hide from the palace at the foot of the emperor.
"When I go to the palace, I may come back at night. Don't wait for me."
Xiao Yiyuan looks at Xia Jin and instructs him.
Xia Jin nodded and watched him leave.
……
In the front hall of the palace, when Chen Yong saw Xiao Yiyuan, a touch of emotion appeared on his face. Without waiting for Xiao Yiyuan to speak, he knelt down
"Lord Yi, it's very nice of you to come back."
At the end of his speech, Chen Yong was already in tears.
Xiao Yiyuan grew up in the deep palace when he was young, and Chen Yong served Xiao Chenglang when he was still the crown prince. Naturally, he was quite familiar with Xiao Yiyuan and other princes.
Over the years, he has been conscientious and self disciplined. He has a close relationship with Xiao Chenglang, who has become the ninth five-year-old, or with the kings such as Xiao Yiyuan, Xiao Yiqi and Xiao Yixuan.
Xiao Yiyuan has been missing for a year. He has no hope, but he suddenly learns that he and Xia Jin are coming back together. He is already excited and overjoyed. Now when he sees a real person, he can't help but shed tears of joy.
"Mr. Chen, you should be free as soon as possible."
Although Xiao Yiyuan usually shows indifference and sometimes even makes people feel inhuman, he is actually cold outside and warm inside, hiding his rich feelings deeply.
Chen Yong's behavior undoubtedly touched his inner tenderness. He stepped forward and helped him up in person.
"You Lao" is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation of Chen Yong.
"Thank you for your kindness."
Chen Yong didn't know Xiao Yiyuan's courtesy to him. He bowed down and bowed his hand, and then said:
"Lord, it's so hard for the emperor to miss you this year. Let's go to the palace quickly?"
"Good."
Xiao Yiyuan nodded a little, then took the lead, walked out of the side hall, left the palace, and quickly turned over. Steward an had already arranged on the back of the horses outside, and sped away towards the palace with his whip.
Chen Yong was old, but he was riding in a sedan chair, which was slower than him.
When Chen Yong's sedan chair was half a mile away from the palace, Xiao Yiyuan appeared outside the imperial study.
The little eunuch on duty at the gate had already changed for several rounds and didn't recognize him. Seeing that he came alone without the guidance of any palace people, and that he was richly dressed and had a great reputation, although he didn't put people in directly, he didn't dare to wait. He stepped forward a few steps, bowed to him, arched his hands, and said:
"This is the imperial study. You can't enter or stay here without the emperor summoning you..."
"I am Xiao Yiyuan!"
Xiao Yiyuan's sword eyebrows frowned slightly. He knew that this was not the emperor's threat to him, but the little eunuch on duty at the gate didn't recognize him, so he made his own identity clear.
"Xiao Yi..."
After listening to him, the eunuch repeated his words subconsciously, but when he was about to say his full name, he was shocked and fell to his knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy
"Lord Yi, I have eyes and don't know Mount Tai. Please forgive me."
The eunuch's voice fell, and before Xiao Yiyuan could speak, the door of the imperial study was opened from inside, and Xiao Yichen, dressed in a Dragon Robe, stepped out.
"Yiyuan."
His tall figure stood above the stone steps of the imperial study, looking at Xiao Yiyuan not far below the stone steps.
Even though he has always been introverted, Xiao Yichen can't help but show his joy.
"My brother, see the emperor."
Xiao Yiyuan lifted the hem of his robe and knelt down straight. He kowtowed to Xiao Yichen solemnly.
The relationship between the two brothers does not have to be like this.
Xiao Yichen understood why Xiao Yiyuan did this. He sighed helplessly. He stepped down the steps and helped him up. His voice was filled with the elder brother's love for his younger brother
"Why do you and my brothers have to be so outspoken? Nianqin is so agreeable. I should take care of him as his uncle. "
"In any case, without the protection of the emperor's brother and the care of his parents, nianqin will have a hard time in the past year, which I will never forget."
Xiao Yiyuan has a solemn voice.
Seeing that he was so stubborn, Xiao Yichen no longer tangled with this topic. He patted him on the back of his hand and said:
"The second one must have been waiting for you and me in Shuixie Pavilion at the moment."
At this point, Xiao Yichen did not continue, but Xiao Yiyuan understood the meaning and took the initiative to say:
"I will go with my brother."
"Very good!"
Xiao Yichen nodded with a smile and finally said with a mysterious smile:
"I've improved a lot in my lightness skills this year. Why don't you and my brothers have a competition today?"
Although it is a question, it does not give Xiao Yiyuan a choice at all.
As soon as his voice fell, he gathered his internal power and swept out before Xiao Yiyuan.
"Ah ~"
Xiao Yiyuan shakes his head and smiles. He doesn't think he will lose.
He was very calm and calm to urge his internal power. The next moment, he put his toes on the ground a little bit, and his body soared into the air with the help of force. He quickly chased Xiao Yichen in the direction of leaving.
The distance between the East Palace and the imperial study is very long if you take the Palace Road, but if you use lightness skills, fly in the air, and arrive in a straight line, it is quite close.
But even so, Xiao Yiyuan still caught up with him when Xiao Yichen crossed the east courtyard wall.
"Brother Huang, you lost!"
Xiao Yiyuan's voice is comfortable, but he doesn't slow down because of Xiao Yichen's identity.
"Not necessarily!"
Xiao Yichen doesn't admit defeat of open mouth, speak of at the same time, suddenly shoot a concealed weapon from the sleeve.
However, the direction of the concealed weapon is close to Xiao Yiyuan, and the angle is very tricky. If Xiao Yiyuan wants to avoid it successfully, he has to retreat sharply.
In an interesting contest of friendship between brothers, he would never make fun of his own body and chose to retreat without hesitation.
When he succeeded in avoiding the concealed weapon and looked at Xiao Yichen again, he could only see his back from a distance.
"If it is true, we will never be tired of deceit!"
Xiao Yiyuan recognized the plant and said to himself that he would gather his internal power again and go to the direction of Shuixie Pavilion.
When he arrived in the pavilion, Xiao Yichen and Xiao Yiqi had already poured wine, waiting for him to come.
"I didn't expect that yiwangye, who has always been planning strategies and winning thousands of miles, will fall down one day. It's really wonderful."
When Xiao Yiqi stepped on the ground, he suddenly clapped, and his words were full of ridicule.
Just now he was impatient, so he used his lightness skill and planned to go to the imperial study to have a look.
But don't want to happen to see Xiao Yichen to Xiao Yiyuan use concealed weapon, push it back.
Seeing Xiao Yiyuan choking with his own eyes, Xiao Yiqi was surprised and relieved.
The success of Xiao Yichen's sneak attack just proves that Xiao Yiyuan is not on guard against him.
