Your Majesty, he has a backache and brain fever

The snow fell from the sky, covering the fallen leaves and dead grass on the ground, and the whole land was dressed up in silver, adding a sense of vastness and vastness, and the world seemed to become peaceful and peaceful.

In this snowy day, everyone sits around a stove, gossiping about family affairs, and those who have leisure time can organize an elegant tea party to appreciate the snow and recite poems. With many wealthy families full of laughter, the flavor of the new year is getting stronger.

And in the Daqi Palace, the most famous of the rich, in the remote and desolate southeast corner, there is a very dilapidated building. There are no stones and no grass, only a few old plum trees with sparse branches and leaves, and a few snow-white plum blossoms are scattered on the curled branches, which blend with the snow clusters on the branches. You can still smell a faint fragrance, which makes people wonder if the flower is blooming or not.

It is said that the Leng Palace has always been the most bleak and gloomy place in the palace, but only people in the palace know that this is the most secretive place in the whole palace. In this unknown palace, there lives a The seventh prince of royal blood and his biological mother are the most deceitful existences that everyone can bully.

This mother of royal blood is just the lowest-ranking lady-in-waiting in the palace. Except that her voice is different from that of a court lady, there is no substantial difference in treatment, and her life is even worse than that of ordinary court ladies.

Because there are many women living in the palace, many of them have the idea of ​​flying on the branches to become a phoenix, so they are very jealous of her, who was favored by the emperor, and even started treating her recklessly after knowing that she is not valued by the emperor Carrying on cynicism, the princes also like to vent their anger on their mother and son when they have nothing to do, and the ladies in each palace also turn a blind eye to this and are happy to facilitate this matter.

Even, under the discussion of many people, for the peace of the palace people who lived with her, the empress actually set aside a separate bedroom for the mother and son to use exclusively for them. It seemed to be a kind of grace to say it, but The location is remote, there is nothing you want, and the emperor didn't intervene, which made these children intentionally or unintentionally provoke and embarrass.

Under such lingering day after day, this girl Xu Cai actually endured one by one. The masters of the palaces were deeply bored, so they finally let her go. After all these years, although it is difficult to maintain, it can be seen faintly in the eyebrows and eyes. At the same time, the demeanor of that year also added to the calm charm that was not there at the beginning.

But now, this woman who has settled down to the old monk's samadhi is wrapped in the only thick fur cape, standing under the eaves, waiting for the return of her son.Her son, ranked seventh, was named Xia Moshi by the emperor, and he is now six years old.

Living in a colder place than the cold palace since childhood, although he has assumed the title of a master, he does not have the status a master should have, let alone rich material conditions and a unique educational environment. The young Xia Moshi seems very Knowing his situation, he has been a child who can endure hardships and speak nice words since he can remember, and with his cute and childlike face, he recognized a teacher from the Civil Engineering Supervision Department as a half-master, today it is him In the past, the days when I was looking for this half-teacher.

It was not until dusk in the brook pavilion that he came back stepping on the snowflakes on the stone slabs. Although the desolate and gloomy place could be haunted at any time, it was after all the place where he and his mother lived, and it could barely be regarded as a home.Thinking of Fangchen who is his mother today, the little man is holding the newly formed puppet in his hands, his hands and nose are red from the cold, but he is smiling innocently and joyfully, looking like a really smart little rabbit.

As soon as I turned around the Xiting Bridge, I saw two fluffy little boys in brand-new clothes on a path on the right. The taller one smiled gently, while the shorter one had an angry face. The child who looked as gentle as jade seemed to be comforting another person: "Sixth brother is just a little kid who doesn't understand anything, what do you care about with him?"

"He doesn't understand anything, but Father gave him so many good things, how can I not be angry, obviously before, Father liked me the most!"

Hearing this voice, Xia Moshi shuddered subconsciously, took a step back involuntarily, stepped on a dry branch behind the rockery, and made a crackling sound, attracting the two people opposite him, who were just slightly older than him. The eldest prince and fourth prince who are a few years older, his nominal eldest brother and fourth brother.

The sullen fourth prince was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw Xia Mo, he bumped into him and immediately walked in front of him arrogantly. The road behind was blocked, making Xia Moshi unable to avoid them even if he wanted to ignore them.

"Hey, isn't this our lovely seventh brother, who is still running around outside in this cold weather, don't have a cold and it won't be good without an imperial doctor to treat you."

"Thank you two royal brothers for your concern, then I will go back first."

The fourth prince opened his arms and stopped him: "If I let you go, you go." Seeing his hands behind his back, he asked with a stinky face, "What are you hiding behind your back, show me."

"No, it's nothing, it's just a gadget, and it definitely won't be able to get into the faces of the two emperor brothers."

The fourth prince straightened his face, and jumped up behind him and snatched it: "Let you take it and have a look, don't you think I'll care about the crap in your hand? What, where did it come from? "

Xia Moshi replied submissively: "Brother Huang, this is a puppet rabbit that I just sculpted and played with casually, and it happened to be used as a birthday present for my mother today."

"A shameless little girl, is she worthy of being called your mother?" The fourth prince sneered disdainfully, pretending to have suddenly realized, "Look at my memory, why did I forget, the emperor didn't care about you at all, Just like without your son, a person like you is indeed not qualified to call the queen mother a mother."

When the fourth prince mentioned the word mother, he raised his head even more proudly and straightened his body, but the eldest prince's eyes seemed to flash, but he still didn't say a word.

His fourth brother turned over the rabbit in his hand, and continued to taunt: "This is really the ugliest rabbit I've ever seen, and it doesn't look like it at all. If you don't tell me, I'd think it's a rabbit." It's just a dead mouse, just like your mother and son, you can't see a dead mouse that everyone shouts and beats."

Hearing this sentence, Xia Moshi clenched his fists tightly, and his mouth was tightly pursed, very much like a little milk cat that would give someone a paw anytime when it gets angry, and its eyebrows became a less obvious downturn. character.

The fourth prince seemed to have seen some interesting toy, he smiled excitedly, stretched out his hand and pushed him: "Why, if you want to hit me, come here if you have the ability."

The little milk cat was pushed and bumped into the big rock next to him. The sharp edges and corners hit him a little painful, but the impact and the tingling sensation from his calf pulled his rationality back in time, and he quickly suppressed his anger. Go down: "My brother dare not."

The first prince felt bored and regretful, but the fourth prince found a way to vent his insults and continued to insult him even more severely. Xia Moshi took them all without saying a word, pretending that he didn't hear him, as if this person was scolding someone who had nothing to do with him at all. Like someone else who had nothing to do with it, Xia Moshi said stubbornly after he had finished scolding: "What the fourth prince said is, may I go now?"

He was pretty angry at first, but when he saw Xia Mo, he still looked like he didn't take himself seriously, and suddenly became furious, and snatched the puppet rabbit that was just returned to him, and turned around to leave, a cowardly person It was only then that Xia Moshi started to get really anxious. He stood on tiptoe and was about to grab it, but the fourth prince dodged it and threw the rabbit to the eldest prince's side.

Seeing that he was about to run to the other side to grab him again, the fourth prince immediately grabbed him by the back collar, struggling and pushing, Xia Moshi accidentally kicked a water-stained mark on each of the two brothers, Immediately, the eyes of the two people became very frightening.

In desperation, the fourth prince shook his hands vigorously, only to hear a "plop", and his poor seventh brother was thrown into Xiting Lake by him, struggling unceasingly.

The eldest prince asked in horror: "Fourth brother, if you're like this, aren't you afraid that your father will be angry?"

"What are you afraid of? You see that the emperor seems to care about him. Besides, I am the queen's son. He, a palace girl, dares to disrespect the prince. He deserves it." After finishing speaking, he clapped his hands in disgust. He carefully looked at the lower clothes that were kicked dirty by Xia Moshi, snatched the puppet from the eldest prince's hand, and threw it to the ground forcefully, "Hmph, you're so ugly, you all go to hell."

The fourth prince turned around and left after finishing speaking, and the eldest prince also followed him away from this place without looking back. In this cold winter and twelfth lunar month, he must be lucky, who made this palace so real and cruel.

It only took a few words, and there was no movement behind them, even the ripples on the face of the lake, calm as before, once they leave, no one will know what happened in this place this evening, let alone know, A prince once fell here, although the name is not worthy of the name.

When the surrounding area returned to complete silence, a small black head finally floated up from the bottom of the water, trembling and paddling slowly, gradually approaching the shore, and it took a lot of effort to finally climb up. This place is sparsely populated, even The guards in the palace didn't come here often to patrol here, and the two princes didn't know that the younger brother they thought was doomed to die came out on his own.

Xia Moshi picked up the little rabbit discarded by that spoiled child, picked up the grass roots stuck to it, wiped off the dust on it with his wet sleeves, and held it to his chest lovingly, just like a treasure. Dragging stiff steps in the icy cold wind, trembling, he walked towards the place where he lived.
