It was the end of the year, Xu Yan, as the eldest son of Pingyang Palace, naturally wanted to go out to socialize.

In order to avoid Xu Wen, Su Liangsheng stayed in Dongyuan Yaju all day long.Although Xu Wen had such a junior brother come up to the magistrate's house, he didn't take it to heart, and all was well when the time came.

Xu Yan couldn't dodge the communication between the aristocratic families, and he couldn't bring Su Liangsheng with him every time, so he asked Xu Mo to come to Dongyuan Yaju to be Su Liangsheng's companion from time to time.

Regarding this, Su Liangsheng originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought about it, in case Xu Wen or someone else came to find fault, and Xu Yan was not around, he had to find someone to take the lead.

No, Xu Mo is a good shield. Although he was born of a concubine, he is still a well-known young son of the palace.Although the concubine and Xu Wen didn't like him, they couldn't hurt their face on the bright side.Secondly, Su Liangsheng wanted to establish a good relationship with Xu Mo, and having Xu Mo was equivalent to having an extra layer of background in the future.

Even if the prince wins the heir in the future, there will be turmoil in the court, blood will flow like a river, and Xu Yan will be caught in a whirlpool, Xu Mo will definitely not stand by and watch.

Thinking of this, Su Liangsheng looked at Xu Mo with much gentler eyes, as if a wolf cub was watching his own little lamb.

Xu Mo danced his sword in the courtyard, even in the cold weather, he was sweating all over.Sweat moistened the long hair on the forehead, and the handsome face became a little tougher.

Sticking the sword in his hand into the tree, Xu Mo wiped the sweat off his face and walked down the corridor.

Su Liangsheng was lying on a large bamboo chair, with two golden nanmu round pillows leaning on his back, and a plate of crystal grapes in maroon color was placed by his hand.

"Are you really Big Brother's Junior Brother?"

Xu Mo's eyes were dark and his brows were slightly frowned, as if he didn't believe that Su Liangsheng was Xu Yan's junior brother.

"Can your elder brother lie to you?"

Su Liangsheng squinted his eyes and asked back, picked up a grape and ate it.

Hearing this, Xu Mo frowned, shook his head after a while and said, "Brother can't lie, why are you so lazy, you don't look like a disciple of Jiulimen at all."

"People are good at wisdom but not good at strength, do you understand?"

Su Liangsheng curled his lips and said, you have never been to Jiuli Mountain, how do you know what the disciples of Jiuli Sect look like?

Xu Mo showed a look of disdain, and suddenly took the tea in front of Su Liangsheng and drank it.

Su Liangsheng was stunned, and stuffed another grape into his mouth. He wouldn't tell Xu Mo that the cup of tea he drank just now was for washing his fingers.

"What happened to your right arm?"

Xu Mo said something out of the blue, and Su Liangsheng was so frightened that he thought he had tasted something.

"Well, nothing."

Su Liangsheng said perfunctorily, the less people know about the disability of his right arm, the better.

His gaze sank, but Xu Mo didn't press on.Since Su Liangsheng didn't want to say it, there was a reason why he didn't want to say it.It's just that he doesn't use his right arm very often, and he lags a little when he moves, so a discerning person can see the problem at a glance.

After playing Zijian for a while, a servant suddenly ran in outside the door, saying that the prince was looking for the young master to go there.

Xu Mo frowned, his lips parted slightly, showing a look of surprise and disgust, but it was also fleeting.Putting away the sword in his hand, Zijin on the other side has already walked over Shi Shiran, and straightened Xu Mo's clothes.

While tidying up his clothes, Zijin revealed a worried expression, and said in a low voice, "Young master, hold back your temper later, now that it's the end of the year, I think the prince won't embarrass you too much."

Xu Mo nodded calmly, and then followed the notification to the servants.

After leaving the tea to cool off, the wind in the corridor gradually picked up, Su Liangsheng sniffled, feeling a little bored.

In the study room, King Pingyang was wearing dark golden clothes, and was sitting at the desk giving instructions on official affairs.A pair of sword eyebrows are slightly frowned, and there is a sternness in the eyes, which invisibly gives people a sense of calm and prestige.

"Meet the king."

Xu Mo knelt on the ground, lowered his head and couldn't see the expression on his face, his stiff back seemed lonely and forbearing.

"kindness."

King Pingyang responded lightly, and did not correct Xu Mo's address, as if he should not have been called "father king" at all.It took a long time to raise his head, and put his eyes on his son who was kneeling on the ground, with a trace of inquiry or suspicion in his eyes.

"I heard that the prince is teaching you martial arts these days?"

"Yes."

Xu Mo replied bluntly, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth.

King Pingyang frowned, seemingly displeased, and his face suddenly sank.The child in front of him is weird, he has been unpleasant since he was born, and I don't know what makes Xu Yan look at him differently.

"You go down."

King Pingyang waved his hands impatiently, and didn't want to continue the conversation, as if looking at Xu Mo even more was unnecessary.

Xu Mo got up and left in silence, his eyes seemed to be stained with ink, unwilling, hated, sad, and miserable like a dense net covering him.

He will never forget, in that dilapidated courtyard, those lonely and terrifying nights, the wanton sex and shouting of the servants, the indifference and reprimand of King Pingyang, and the contempt of Xu Wen and others.
