Envy

In the evening, Zhenjun Lihua came, as if he had heard something.They were studying the Book of Songs, and they were reciting the sentence "Jiajia is luxuriant, and the dew is not yet shining".Holding a wooden stick, he kicked over the slender vase table at the entrance of the inner bedroom as soon as he came.Lingzhi was so frightened that she hid behind Yan Zhaohan trembling all over.

"Little bastard, what happened to you that made you wait to go out, so disobedient?" Zhenjun Li Hua came over and grabbed her tiny arm, dragging her out, "Can you calm down a little bit, ah? "

Lingzhi cried and grabbed Yan Zhaohan's sleeve: "Father, don't hit me, I know I was wrong... Please don't hit me, I really know I was wrong..."

Yan Zhaohan protected Ling'er: "Master, Ling'er is still young, don't hit her."

True Monarch Li Hua was very powerful, and he didn't listen to persuasion: "Don't worry about it! Her temper just wants to be beaten! How can she still have this temper when she gets married to her husband's family in the future!" He dragged Lingzhi out of the house, regardless of whether she was slapped or not. No matter where she went, it didn't matter whether she was crying hard or not, and slapped her a few times.

Zhenjun Li Hua has a violent temper, Yan Zhaohan often heard about his master's beating the spirit, and it was indeed the first time he saw it, and couldn't bear to watch it.The stick hit her thin body and her knees, and she rolled in pain, crying and calling "Brother Yan" and "A Niang".True Monarch Li Hua showed no mercy at all, and his strength remained undiminished.

Seeing his heart ache, he went to protect him, and took a stick from his master, and the pain instantly spread to all his limbs.Zhenjun Li Hua only stopped now.He held the coffin and said, "Master, I beg you. If the beating continues, the coffin will fall to the root of the disease."

Lingzhi cried weakly, hid in his arms and sobbed, clutching his skirt tightly.Seeing Yan Zhaohan like this, Zhenjun Li Hua snorted coldly, dropped his stick, kicked open the bedroom door and walked out.

He comforted Lingxi, picked her up, put her on the bed, and took out a medicine bottle from the drawer to give her medicine.The coffin was small, red and bruised on the leg, and there were some small scratches, none of which was good.His forehead was bruised, and Poppi was bleeding.When he took the medicine, she also cried in pain.

After taking the medicine, she hugged him and cried hysterically.Lingzhi lived a very depressed life when she was young.She said that she felt that every day was very painful, and she always wanted to escape from the palace and her father.She relied on Yan Zhaohan, and only said these words to him.

Yan Zhaohan said: "One day, my brother will take you out together." He also longed to escape here, and it has been too long.

……

After eating the cold bowl of food, Su Chuo felt much better, and greeted him heartily: "Hi brother, I'm Su Chuo. Thank you for the food, it's delicious."

"Yeah." He said, "My surname is Yan, and my name is Zhaohan."

Yan Zhaohan just came back from dinner and was surprised to see him, he didn't expect him to recover so quickly.The bowl of food was actually not specially brought for him, it was just because Senior Brother Liu Huai hadn't come back.He was already thinking about which brothers and sisters he would ask to go find them together.

Fortunately, Senior Brother Liu Huai came back before it got dark, and he was devastated, with a little snow on his hair.He sat down on the bed, took off his cloak, and folded it.Yan Zhaohan stuffed the small hand stove into his arms, and asked warmly, "Why did you come back so late, brother?"

He said: "I was on the street today and saw him from a distance. He was riding a horse, and his expression was still indifferent and arrogant."

"Little Prince?"

"Ah."

Yan Zhaohan didn't ask anything else, he just asked, "Have you had dinner, brother?"

"I've eaten. I ate a bowl of noodles at the foot of the mountain." He smiled softly, and looked at the other boy in the room, "Is this Young Master Su?"

Su Chuo greeted with a smile: "Brother, hello."

*

Su Chuo has a lovely face, watery eyes, not tall, very thin.His personality doesn't match his weak appearance.He is stubborn, straight to the point, likes to play petty temper, a little rash, but he speaks flatteringly, which makes the brothers like him.It didn't take long after entering the Xiqi Palace, and he became friends with his senior brothers.

Su Chuo and Yan Zhaohan share a room, so they are naturally closer.The winter night was cold and the quilt was thin, and the three of them often woke up in the middle of the night.Su Chuo was a small one, trembling, snuggled up to Yan Zhao to sleep, saying that it would be warmer.Later, Senior Brother Liu Huai dug out some clothes and put them on top of the quilt, so as to barely keep out the cold.

He likes to follow Yan Zhaohan and is very dependent on Yan Zhaohan.Once he did something wrong, he would sneak behind Yan Zhaohan.He often tugged at Yan Zhaohan's sleeves, pestered his senior to cook for him, cleaned up messes for him, and took the scolding on his behalf.

They lived together for three years, eating and sleeping together.We starve and suffer cold together, practice together, and suffer punishment together.In Yan Zhaohan's eyes, he is just a childish child who always looks like he hasn't grown up.If it wasn't for that incident, he would have always regarded Su Chuo as his younger brother who needed his care.

Some youths of the Mi tribe signed a life-and-death contract with Zhenjun Li Hua, and they could have an immortal beauty for a lifetime, but if the master died, they would also turn into ashes.Yan Zhaohan and Su Chuo lived in Xiqi Palace as disciples, and did not sign a life-and-death contract.

The youths favored by True Monarch Li Hua are all well-clothed and well-fed, and they run rampant in the palace.Some teenagers who were neglected, and their disciples, often even had to fight for food.Xi Qigong can't support so many people, but his master doesn't care about these things.

One night, they were so hungry that they went to the kitchen to find some food, but there they met a boy who was the most favored at that time.That young man was indeed bright-looking, well-dressed and domineering, but he refused to share some food with them.At that time, Yan Zhaohan deeply felt what it meant to be a predator of the jungle.

Su Chuo quarreled with him for a long time.Yan Zhaohan was dizzy from hunger, and then only heard the young man's cry.When he came back to his senses, Su Chuo had already plunged a dagger into the boy's body.The boy died quickly.

Yan Zhaohan watched in shock as Su Chuo pulled out the dagger, sheathed it nonchalantly, pinned it back to his waist, and took some steamed buns from the stove.He said: "Brother, eat something, let's go back to sleep."

To Zhenjun Li Hua, death is not a big deal, but it happened to be the one who was loved by him, and his heart ached very much.They were quickly found out, flogged, and locked in a small dark room for several days.Yan Zhaohan later thought, fortunately this is someone he favors, if he was neglected by him, this would be the end of the matter.He doesn't mind at all.

When he was imprisoned, Su Chuo told him that he had killed a beggar who robbed him of food in Fulian.He asked: "Senior brother, do you know how Xiqiegong Ren Junyi was selected?" Yan Zhaohan really didn't know at the time.

While chewing on the steamed buns he had secretly hidden, Su Chuo told him, "Trial. Throw all the children to the back mountain where Yinling is locked up. The last one to come out alive will be the next Junyi."

Surrounded by darkness, he suddenly forgot what his junior brother looked like.
