They say it's sick

Chapter 16

In the late spring and early summer, the capital has gradually become hotter.

The genius will be bright, and the sun has not fully poked its head out, and the steaming heat on the surface can already be faintly felt.

Li Yan came out of the study with a face full of sleepiness, and unexpectedly found that the palace seemed to be extremely lively today.

The servants were busy cleaning the court, or moving in and out carrying large and small gift boxes, and even the generals who returned to the house on weekdays just to sleep in had already woken up, and followed them sleepily. Busy in and out.

"Why are you busy so early in the morning?" Li Yan yawned, "Isn't the prince's birthday tomorrow?"

Xiao Luo leaned against the entrance of the inner courtyard, and was checking every box that entered the door against the list of gifts. Hearing the sound, he raised his head: "Tomorrow has something to do... It just so happens that congratulatory gifts from all over the world are arriving one after another. Do you want to see what your Li family has sent you?" ?”

"Forget it, I feel unlucky to hear those two words..." Li Yan rubbed his red eyes, "I might as well go back to sleep."

Xiao Luo glanced at his obviously pale face: "Have you been up all night?"

"Well, the prince just fell asleep for urgent military affairs in the northwest..." After Li Yan finished speaking, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Luo's expression, "What's the matter?"

"There are so many generals, counselors and officials in the back house, the lord will always make trouble for you, a sick bastard..." Xiao Luo looked at him, "Why don't you even complain?"

"It won't take half the night for the prince to handle the military affairs by himself, and he will take me all night, just want someone to torment?" Li Yan shook his head, and couldn't help yawning again, "I'm not that bad either. Do you know good or bad?"

Xiao Luo looked at his eyes that were so sleepy that they were almost unable to open but seemed to be shining, and smiled lightly. Just as she was about to speak, a servant hurried over, first greeted Li Yan, and then said hello to Li Yan. Xiao Luo said: "Young Master Yun's motorcade has arrived at the outskirts of the city, and he can enter the city today."

"What a coincidence..." Xiao Luo pointed in the direction, "The invitation is on my desk, remember to send a copy to Yunfu later."

The little servant hurriedly retreated in response, Li Yan glanced in the direction he was leaving, and asked, "The young master of the Yun family is... Yunzhi?"

"Which one else could it be? Isn't the Marquis of Zhenyuan only two young masters?" Xiao Luo looked up from the gift list and saw Li Yan's thoughtful face, "I forgot that Li Xuan had been under the Marquis of Zhenyuan before. Have you ever met that young master Yun?"

"I didn't have it when I was young, but before I came to the capital, I had a little... intersection..." Li Yan lowered his eyes, thinking of something, a little smile appeared on his lips, and soon dissipated with a yawn, "I'll go back to rest gone."

"I asked them to make tonic soup, and I will send it to your room later, and sleep after drinking..." Xiao Luo continued to look at the gift list, "Wake up and wait in the room, and ask the imperial doctor to diagnose your pulse."

Li Yanren had already turned around, and paused after hearing the words: "Didn't you have a doctor a few days ago?"

"Your body and bones can be seen in a day or two?" Another box was brought in, Xiao Luo waved her hand, "Go back..."

"understood!"

Li Yan stretched, turned around and walked towards his yard.

Near noon, the scorching sun hangs high, making people unable to open their eyes.

When we set off from Youzhou, it was still winter, and the bumpy and tiring journey to the south gradually dissipated the feeling of winter, and it was almost summer when we finally arrived in the capital.

The imperial city is more lively and prosperous than imagined. The houses are like houses, the streets and alleys are criss-crossed, and pedestrians come and go. You can see the customs and customs that are very different from Youzhou or even Liaobei.

Yun Zhi took off the cloak and held it in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the house in front of him, which looked very ordinary in the bustling streets, and turned his head to signal the driver to come forward and knock on the door.

Chen Jin got off the carriage and stood beside Yun Zhi, yawning and looking at the faded gate in front of him: "Let's not talk about shabby or not, is this house a little small?"

"Brother is not like you. You must have a school ground to have fun. As long as you can meet your daily needs and have a room for reading and writing, that's enough..."

Yunzhi said, "Besides, this place is very close to the imperial city, so you don't need to waste too much time on the road every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard door opened from the inside, and a young man in plain clothes poked his head out. When he saw Yunzhi, he immediately stepped forward with joy: "Young master, I thought it would take a few days for you to arrive!"

"Brother Li!"

Yun Zhi smiled on his face, but his heart was a little dazed.

The person who came was called Yun Li, who was the son of Yun's family. He had been a book boy by Yunji's side since he was a child, and he became a follower as a matter of course when he grew up. He came to the capital together and was responsible for taking care of Yunji's daily life.

This time when Yunji returned to his hometown, Yunli stayed in the capital to take care of the house and take care of trivial matters, but he never expected...

Yun Li obviously also had mixed feelings, his eye circles were faintly red, but he still smiled and greeted: "I haven't seen you in a few years, the young master has grown a lot taller!"

After speaking, he looked to the side: "Chen Jin is also taller than when he was a child!"

"I was this tall when you left!" Chen Jin took two steps forward and patted Yun Li on the shoulder, "Brother Li, you haven't changed much!"

"It's not like you grow back and go back..." Yunzhi glanced at Chen Jin, "I fell asleep all the way, and I just went to help unload the car, move things and exercise my muscles."

"Row!"

Chen Jin responded, winked at Yun Li by the way, turned around and walked behind the carriage.

"It's hard to say whether you are tall or not, but your temperament has not changed at all..." Yun Li shook his head with a smile, and looked at Yun Zhi, "Go in..."

"it is good……"

This house is really not that big, and the empty houses added up are just right for the people Yun Zhi brought this time. Yun Li took Yun Zhi to see a few rooms, and then went directly to the main house.

"This is the son's previous room..." Yun Li looked a little sad unconsciously, "Of course it's not as good as the Hou's Mansion, it's indeed the best in this courtyard. I tidied up a little, just the things inside..."

"Keep it all, don't move anything..." Yun Zhi stretched out her hand to press the door, but didn't push it away. She stood quietly for a while, then looked back at Yun Li, "Brother Li, it's been a hard day."

"I don't have any hard work..." Yun Li wiped his face, with a forced smile on his face, "You should be tired from the hard work all the way, take a rest first, I'll let someone prepare the meal, and I'll give it to you later Take the wind."

"it is good……"

After Yun Li walked for a while, Yun Zhi pushed open the door, scanned every corner of the room intently, and finally walked in.

He was indeed a little tired from the bumps all the way, but he didn't feel sleepy, so he walked around in this small room.

Yunji's living habits are similar to when he left home, and the room layout is as simple as ever.In addition to basic beds and cabinets, there are more books piled up like mountains.

He reads extremely miscellaneous books and dabbles in a wide range of subjects. Whether it is the Four Books and Five Classics, local chronicles, or even story books, legends, and classics on the art of war, they can all be found here.

It is also for this reason that few people enter Yunji's room.Even if the servants went in to clean it, it was just a simple cleaning. Even though all kinds of books were piled up all over the floor, they didn't dare to flip through them at will.

After all, Yunzhi is different. When he was a child, he spent half of his time in the martial arts field, and the other half in his elder brother's study.

He has flipped through almost all the books that others dare not touch, and if he finds something that interests him, even if he still can't understand it, he will pester his elder brother to explain it to him, express his opinions even if he has only a half-knowledge, and drag his elder brother to discuss it.

In short, the eldest brother will not be bored.

Memories are always sad.

This place is very similar to the Hou's Mansion, and there are many traces left by the eldest brother, but it is not the Hou's Mansion after all.

Yun Zhi once thought that seeing his elder brother's dead body on the snowy field that day was already the most painful moment in his life, and it was the saddest thing for him to discover these details that should have been forgotten day by day. of.

Because they remind you all the time what you once had.

Looking at the books in the room, Yun Zhi couldn't help sighing, finally sat down behind the desk, picked up a book scattered at his feet, and flipped through it.

As the sun set and dusk fell, the whole house was lit up, but only Yunzhi was still in the dark.

Chen Jin, who had slept through the whole afternoon, came here leisurely. As soon as he entered the door, he saw books all over the floor, and subconsciously took two steps back: "What are you doing?"

"Look through it casually, and see what book Big Brother is reading..." Yun Zhi looked up from the desk, "Have you had enough sleep?"

"Not only did I get enough sleep, but I also talked to Brother Li about the past, and I was about to go over for dinner, so I stopped by to call you..."

Chen Jin looked at his feet in the afterglow of the setting sun, bent down and picked up the nearest book, flipped through it a few times, and couldn't help yawning, "It's really a book that the world will read."

"If you lost a day of sleep in the school back then, you wouldn't be able to finish reading the "Shangshu"..." Yunzhi closed the book in her hand, rubbed her eyes, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing more than the customs of the capital. Are there any interesting gossips..." Chen Jin put the "Shangshu" on the desk and sat down next to Yunzhi, "For example, is it true that the King of Huai'an is controlling the government? Did he kill the late emperor's heir?"

When he said this, he heard Yunzhi snort impatiently, and explained: "It's only natural to talk about everything... But the prince seldom mentions the affairs of the imperial court, so Brother Li knows nothing about it." It’s just some folk rumors, true and false, so it’s hard to take it seriously.”

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi closed her eyes slightly, "What about the others?"

"Others... I tried a few words in the dark. The son has been living in seclusion for the past few years. On weekdays, he goes to the palace to attend his studies. He never takes the initiative to make friends with the courtiers, and he has never made enemies with anyone. Don't look at this courtyard in front of the imperial city. I don’t even have a single visitor at ordinary times..." Chen Jin sighed, "Before leaving for the hometown, apart from going to the palace to thank you, the prince seldom wandered around the city and bought some gadgets for you and the young master to bring back. , I haven’t been to other places since then, and no outsiders have come to my house.”

"It's almost as expected." Yun Zhi didn't open her eyes, but her eyelashes trembled slightly.

If he wants to investigate Yunji's experience in the capital, Yun Li must be the first person to ask.But you can't ask too obvious, you can only insinuate and probe, and secondly, Yun Zhi has no way to discuss Yun Ji's life with others, especially this person was once his personal entourage.Therefore, it was much more natural for Chen Jin to come forward, but as expected, there was no gain.

"Forget it..." Yun Zhi opened her eyes, turned over and stood up, "The future will be long."

He stretched out his hand to Chen Jin who was still leaning against the desk: "Go eat, Brother Li will be waiting in a while!"

The two went out of the room one after the other, and seeing Yun Li coming in a hurry, Chen Jin immediately turned to look at Yun Zhi, and accused him: "Just say hurry up, and Brother Li will invite you in person."

Yun Zhi glanced at him, too lazy to care about such things, turned to look at Yun Li: "Is there something wrong?"

Yun Li handed over what he had been holding all along: "Someone sent an invitation just now, it's for the young master."

Chen Jin looked curiously at Yunzhi's hand: "Your Majesty called you into the palace so soon, so there is no need to send a post, right?"

"Of course it's not His Majesty..." Yun Zhi opened the invitation and read it carefully, "It's King Huai'an's birthday, invite me to a banquet at his residence."
