I would rather die than be the white moonlight

Shen Hua looked at Gao Hui intently: "His Royal Highness, if you want to offend, Shen Hua doesn't want Shen Ke to enter the palace, no, it should be said that I don't want him to stay in this palace."

Gao Hui smiled indifferently: "This is not something you and I can decide."

Shen Hua fell silent all of a sudden, and stopped talking. Shen Ke picked the three most beautiful flowers among them and ran to his brother. Hui's hands.

The two looked at the delicate flowers in their hands and smiled at each other. Shen Hua took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Shen Ke's face. How about going to the gazebo in front for a while? There are also some huge koi raised there."

Shen Ke nodded, the maid next to him had already prepared tea and pastries in the gazebo, and then spread a layer of velvet on the stool. After the three of them were seated, the crown prince poured tea for Shen Ke and Shen Hua himself. After all, they were from the palace. The tea tasted more mellow than ordinary tea, and half of the pot almost reached Shen Ke's stomach.

Not long after, I heard a boy's voice behind me: "So the emperor is drinking tea here, why don't you ask the emperor to join you?"

The moment the crown prince heard this voice, he frowned subconsciously, then turned his head and smiled and said, "Didn't you go to visit Empress Yuan? Didn't my father want to check how you recited the recitation tomorrow?"

"Brother Huang was joking, there is still time to drink tea with Brother Huang."

Seeing Shen Ke's eyes fixed on the person who came, Shen Hua stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Shen Ke's eyes. Shen Ke suddenly regained his senses, and Shen Hua leaned into Shen Ke's ear and whispered: "This is the fourth prince Zhong Yuan, the relationship with the crown prince has always been at odds, I heard that this person is not easy to provoke."

Gao Zhongyuan was not polite, and sat down beside Shen Ke, Shen Hua quickly pulled Shen Ke up, then changed positions with Shen Ke, touched Shen Ke's head and said: "This position is good for the koi carp. The most suitable."

Seeing the wolf-proof Shen Hua, Gao Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed: "Which family is this young master?"

"This is Shen Hua, the eldest son of the Shen family, and that is Shen Ke, the elder brother of the Shen family."

Gao Zhongyuan nodded clearly, then cupped his fists at Shen Hua and Shen Ke: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Seeing the peony in Shen Ke's hand, Gao Zhongyuan's eyes darkened, and he said with a smile: "This flower is very beautiful."

Hearing this, Shen Ke quickly handed the flower to Gao Zhongyuan's eyes, and stammered: "You... If you... like... then... I will give it to... you."

Shen Hua covered his face and wanted to strangle Shen Ke to death. Gao Zhongyuan was taken aback for a moment, reached out to take it, and then carefully held the flower. It had been a while since the flower was picked, and the edges of the petals were a bit dim. Shen Ke After seeing it, I smiled a little embarrassedly.

Shen Ke lowered his head and didn't speak, Gao Hui's eyes changed a bit, Shen Hua nodded to the prince, then pulled Shen Ke beside him to salute, and said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, I can wait to go back , if not, my mother might not be able to wait."

Gao Zhongyuan was about to get up to say goodbye, Gao Hui had already said: "Then I will send you back to the palace, brother, we are going ahead."

Gao Hui quickly left the pavilion with the two of them.Gao Zhongyuan looked at the flowers in his hand.Pull off the petals, and then hold the palm tightly, the juice of the flower slipped down the palm to the ground, and then raised the hand, the flower was crumpled into a ball into the fish pond, the fish scrambled to eat the petals, and finally the flower No bones remained.

After Gao Zhongyuan wiped it off bit by bit with the handkerchief, he threw the handkerchief on the ground: "What I hate the most is such bright flowers."

Gao Zhongyuan waved his hand: "Let's go, go back to the palace, father is still waiting for me."

When sitting on the sedan chair back home, Shen Hua looked at Shen Ke all the way, and Shen Ke lowered his head alone, looking at the peonies he had just picked from the road, smiling happily.

Su Yu looked at Shen Ke's appearance, a little confused, and asked softly, "What's wrong with Shen Ke?"

Shen Hua raised his head, and said with tears in his eyes, "My brother is about to be taken away by the wolf cub!"

"..."

After returning, Shen Ke was led to sleep, while Shen Hua was pulled by Su Yu's ears and asked about what happened today.

As soon as Shen Hua finished speaking, Su Yu stopped talking immediately, looked at Shen Hua and said: "Hua Er, remember, you must be careful not to let Ke Er be with the fourth prince in the future. Shen Ke really treats the fourth prince as you said. If you have a good impression, the situation will be worse, and you and the fourth prince should also stay far away, our Shen family has stood by His Royal Highness early in the morning, and there is hostility between you."

Shen Hua nodded, frowned and said: "Mother, I know the stakes, but my brother..."

"Don't worry, I won't let him enter the palace until he is 15 years old."

The corners of Shen Ke's mouth curled up, Bingqi came in with a basin of water, wet the handkerchief, walked behind Shen Ke, and began to wipe Shen Ke's body, Shen Ke gently put the flowers aside, as if afraid of damage .

Bingqi wiped it and said: "If brother really likes this flower, why not dry it and make a purse, which can keep the flower and carry it with you."

Shen Ke smiled and said yes, and Bingqi picked up a comb from the side to help Shen Ke massage his scalp. Shen Ke was massaged so comfortably that he closed his eyes in the bathtub after a while.

When he woke up the next day, Shen Ke was already lying on the bed, looking at the pajamas he had changed into, and seeing Bingqi coming with a water basin, he raised a smiling face and said, "Bingqi, you are so kind. .”

Bingqi replied that he didn't dare to take it seriously, and then waited beside him with the salt and tea beside him, and said, "Please rinse your mouth, brother."

Shen Ke nodded, first picked up the lump of salt and chewed it twice, then spit it into the cup prepared at the side, then picked up the teacup and took a big sip, after a few gurglings, he also spit it into the original cup. into the cup, then picked up the wet towel next to it and wiped his face indiscriminately, then said: "I want to go and play with my brother."

Bingqi stopped Shen Ke and said: "Brother, Madam said that from now on I want you to study the Four Books and Five Classics, Master will come to our mansion today, Madam wants Brother to stay in the house and wait for Master after finishing dressing."

Shen Ke suddenly became wilted, sat on the stool next to him, drooped his head and did not speak.

After lunch, the master came slowly into the house. Looking at the lifeless Shen Ke, the master stepped forward and hit the table with a ruler: "The sitting posture is so unstable, how can you look like a brother? I straighten my back."

Hearing the crisp sound of the ruler hitting the table, Shen Ke shuddered suddenly, and immediately raised his chest, raised his head and retracted his abdomen. The master nodded in satisfaction, then picked up a book next to him, and said, "I'll give you three God, memorize this book, if you can't memorize it after three days, then copy it a hundred times."

"..."

Shen Ke was lying on the bed basking in the sun. When the master came, he saw Shen Ke looking a little anxious, and asked, "How is your homework done today? How is your memorization?"

Shen Ke dodged his eyes from side to side, "This morning... just... I finished memorizing."

With a snap, the master knocked the ruler on the table: "Get up and sit down, let me check it for you!"

Shen Ke sat down shyly. In the past three days, he ate, drank, slept, and never even touched the book. He thought that the ruler held by the master was just to scare him. There were two rulers in the palm of my hand when I lifted the ruler, and the palm of my hand was tingling, and it turned red in an instant, and I couldn't even pick up the chopsticks when I was eating at noon.

In the evening, Ice Chess held a massage with medicated oil, and Shen Ke gasped in pain. From then on, no matter what tasks the master assigned, Shen Ke completed them all earnestly, for fear that the ruler would fall off at any time. to himself.

In less than a month, Shen Ke felt that he was about to get sick. In the past month, let alone going out, he had never seen anyone except ice chess and his wife, not even Shen Hua, who was always close to him. He has never been here before, let alone face the master who likes to beat people with a ruler every day.

Shen Ke was originally a lively character, and he was almost moldy these days when he was locked in the house. Apart from reciting books, practicing piano, eating and sleeping, he hardly did anything else, and he hadn't let go of the kite for a long time. itch.

That day, after finishing my homework at my master's place, I quietly slipped out of the door with a paper kite in front of Shen Hua's door, and just as I was about to call out to my brother, I saw a young man holding a thick The bamboo sticks were drawn to Shen Hua's back.

Shen Hua was holding two buckets in his hand, the buckets were filled with water, and a bowl of water was placed on his head, his feet were striding, sweat slipped down his neck and fell into his clothes.

Hearing the muffled sound of the whip hitting the flesh, Shen Ke shrunk his neck. This was much more painful than Mr.'s ruler. Shen Ke looked at the paper kite in his hand, and then at the horse's trousers tied inside. The bruised skin from the whip, gritted his teeth, and threw the paper kite aside.

Shen Ke suddenly stopped being annoyed, and even put more effort into his homework than usual. The master smiled and said that his brother's heart is settled.

When Shen Hua was carrying him on his back that day, his steps were extremely steady. When he went up, he heard Shen Hua gasping for air. Shen Hua started exercising like this a long time ago, and he started to learn it a long time ago. We took care of this home.

Every time Shen Ke thought of Shen Hua at that time, even if his back was injured, as soon as he cried out that he was tired, Shen Hua would squat down and carry him on his back, and he would no longer have the desire to be playful.

Probably because of what Shen Ke was determined to do, the master told his wife that Shen Ke could spend more and more time alone, and would never be driven back to study by ice chess again.

Half a year later, when Shen Zheng was about to go to the battlefield again, Shen Ke saw his parents and Shen Hua again. Shen Ke probably had read a lot, and he was no longer as restless as before. He stood there with a straight posture, It also has everyone's temperament.

Shen Zheng looked at Shen Hua, who was walking like a breeze, with successful martial arts, and Shen Ke, who was dignified and full of nylon, stepped forward with a smile and rubbed the hair in front of their foreheads, and then hugged Su Yu, unwilling for a long time Let go, and the two of them didn't let go until the accompanying lieutenant coughed twice.

"Come back in peace."

Shen Zheng kissed Su Yu's cheek and got on his horse: "I will."

Until Shen Zheng's shadow could no longer be seen, Su Yu turned around and stopped Shen Ke's neck, tears kept streaming down, Shen Ke also felt that his neck was soaked, a little sticky and uncomfortable, Shen Ke put his hands together Gently encircling Su Yu, then patted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, father will return safely."
