On this day, news came out from somewhere that an important person would pass by the foot of the mountain, but their people investigated for a long time and could not find out the origin of this person.
Unable to figure out the details, they were too lazy to cause trouble, so they simply ignored them and decided to let them go.
Yu Huan set out on his own and ambushed them on the road they had to pass. He carried a bow and arrow, and a bag of crispy walnuts made from wild walnuts from the mountains, which he ate while waiting.
She wanted to see who was coming.
However, she had very little patience. She squatted behind a rock, waiting for a long time but no one showed up. The sun was so warm that she fell asleep somehow.
What a delicious and long sleep... I even ate tender and juicy roast chicken in my dream.
"Huh, it's a little hot." someone said.
Yu Huan opened his eyes in a daze, only to see someone sitting on the ground at the foot of the hillside, setting up a rack and lighting a fire to roast a chicken.
The chicken was roasted to perfection. Even from a distance, the tempting aroma made Yu Huan imagine what a roasted chicken would look like. The skin was golden and crispy, and the oily sheen was glossy. When it was torn open, the heat filled the air and the juices splashed everywhere. It was fragrant and tender...
"You bold little thief, how dare you steal the chickens from our mountain? Put down the chickens and surrender immediately." Lady Yu Huan jumped onto the rock holding a bow and arrow, and spoke heroically.
The man lowered his head, holding the chicken skewered with branches, and said in an offering gesture: "I didn't know it was your chicken, lady. I will return it with both hands. Please forgive me."
The attitude is quite respectful.
Yu Huan put the arrow on his back and walked towards the roast chicken, but he felt that the voice was becoming more and more familiar.
"Do you think I can let you go like this?" Yu Huan said seriously.
"How about you punish me by making me work like a slave for you for another fifty years..." The man spoke slowly, and slowly raised his head, revealing a familiar and handsome face.
"Yin Reward?"
Yu Huan was shocked.
Yin Chou pretended to think for a moment, then added, "If Miss Sang doesn't agree, I can only give her another 100,000 taels of gold and silver, a load of wedding cakes, 1,000 rolls of colored satin, 1,000 rolls of silk, 500 rolls of other colorful fabrics, 100 horses, and 200 sheep..."
The longer he read, the more it seemed like there was endless stuff waiting to be said.
Yu Huan slowly opened his mouth wide: "Is this true?"
She dragged him in front of her elder sister and vowed that he would come to reward them when he became a prince.
Sang Yin listened and felt something was wrong.
Looking at Yin Chou again, he seemed to be standing in front of her calmly, but in fact his eyes were all on Yu Huan. She understood, it was a betrothal gift.
"Sister, oh no, what do you think, Miss Sang?" Yin Chou asked.
Sang Yin's lips twitched when she heard this. She wanted to call him "Sister" right away. She didn't agree or refuse, but just said, "It's useless to tell me these things. What matters is Huanhuan's opinion."
Huan Huan was too slow to react and thought she had gotten the upper hand, so she said happily, "Of course I want that."
Sang Yin covered her forehead with her hands.
He was very polite, with a smile on his face.
?
Yin Zhuo was born to the empress and was the eldest prince. He was carefully nurtured by his mother's family. In such a situation, even a piece of mud could be propped up on the wall.
Yin Zhuo lived up to everyone's expectations. Although he was mediocre in talent, he was conscientious and hardworking, and would have been a good candidate for the successor - if Yin Chou had not been there.
Unfortunately, he has a younger brother, Yin Chou, who comes from a poor family and has no support from his mother's family. No one takes him seriously at first, but who knew that he would be so competitive and aggressive.
Yin Zhuo was initially bewitched by his weak and innocent image and regarded him as a poor little thing. However, he did not know that the poor little thing would turn around and wipe his tears in front of the emperor, snatching away the credit that originally belonged to him.
It turns out he is a black-hearted fox.
Yin Zhuo was so angry that he decided to be irreconcilable with Yin Chou.
But soon, Yin Zhuo sadly discovered that Yin Chou was very smart and he could not beat him.
After returning from the desert, this guy had become even more difficult to deal with. He had taken over his father, the emperor, the ministers, and even the scholars. Even his mother's forces were at risk of leaning towards him.
Yin Zhuo: ...
Didn't his uncles who once clung to him say that he was the rightful candidate for the throne? How come Yin Chou suddenly became what you call the Mandate of Heaven?
Just because he called a doctor for the sick in your family, just because he persuaded his father to help the white-haired Prime Minister to retire and return home, just because he gave the palace card to the minister who came to the palace with urgent matters in an emergency...
He was so good at winning people's hearts that Yin Zhuo could never compete with him.
Yin Zhuo himself had given up hope.
I don't know if this is too easy for him or if this is not what he really wants.
On the day his father passed away, he saw this guy in white mourning clothes, staring blankly out the window. His long gaze seemed to penetrate the luxurious and heavy palace walls, through the bustling crowd, through thousands of mountains and rivers, and saw what he wanted.
The late emperor's decree of succession was already written, and when it was his turn to inherit the throne, he stepped back and pushed Yin Zhuo out, saying that he had no interest in state affairs and wanted to travel around the world.
Such a great thing happened to him. Yin Zhuo never dreamed that he would get the throne in this way.
He couldn't understand why his second brother, who had been fighting with him for so long, suddenly decided to give up the throne.
After thinking about it, could it be that he was doing this out of brotherhood...
Who says there's no true love in the imperial city? Yin Zhuo slammed the table and stood up.
The next day, Yin Chou came to him to ask for money.
He had to pay all the prince's allowance for the next fifty years and the betrothal gifts for marrying the princess. Apart from the betrothal gifts, any amount that was difficult to take away had to be converted into silver.
Yin Zhuo: ...
How can brotherhood be so weak?
?
A few years later, a local official complained that a certain mountain in a certain place was occupied by a group of people, who posed a risk of banditry, and requested to go and encircle and suppress them to prevent future trouble.
At that time, the world was peaceful, the people were healthy, and there were sufficient troops, so it was okay to wipe out the enemy.
Just as Yin Zhuo was about to give an order, a letter was handed to him.
His second brother, who hadn't been in touch with him for several years, finally wrote to him.
Yin Zhuo couldn't wait to open it, and there was only a simple and straightforward sentence: "That's your brother-in-law's family home, don't touch it."
Yin Zhuo: ...
So your wandering around the world means you're going up the mountain to become a bandit.
