I was the heir in ancient times

The rain in the capital city makes a gentle ticking sound on Zhuangzi’s wall made of egg white and glutinous rice. The sun is shy and timid, and sometimes penetrates the thick and dark clouds and shoots to the ground, exposing the tiny ups and downs floating in the air. .

The blue tiles on Zhuangzi are like natural chime bells. Large and small water drops hit the edge and middle of the tiles, and finally converge into a series of slender flowing water, which separates the outside and inside of the house from the depression of the eaves tiles like a water curtain. The two young teenagers who were separated this morning were trapped in the same open and quiet place. One looked at the rain, and the other looked at the rain man.

His Royal Highness, whose heartbeat grows in his hands, has a pleasing appearance at all times. He has not yet grown up, and everywhere reveals the most vague beauty of youth and maturity. The ends of his eyes are always clear and clean Light red, occasionally it looks like a kind of pitiful fragility, but when the eyebrows are bent, the fragility overwhelmingly becomes the charm of conquering the city and conquering the land. It is a treasure left unintentionally in the world.

He is also a young man with pale skin and a healthy body, who always gives people a sense of elegance and majesty. Mr. Bo has been guarding him for ten years.

This guardianship began with the careless care of the parents, and continued with the secret stickiness between them. However, today, His Royal Highness, although his head is in a mess, thinks a lot of absurd stories and thinks a lot of things. Chi Chun's ripples, but he couldn't figure out what his friend thought about it.

It seems that there is, and it seems that there is no.

In the past, Gu Baozhen never tried to figure out the thoughts of his friends. Fortunately, he both wanted to know and was afraid of knowing, so it seemed quite good to be in this way. Sitting in his room, His Highness the Crown Prince, whose eyes were as charming as spring mist, was watching the rain, watching The rain fell on the leaves, and the leaves collapsed under the heavy load for a moment, and then stood up proudly, blinking slowly.

Mr. Bo, who was dressed in rain, looked at the prince silently. After the servants brought clean clothes and put them on the low table at the door, he went out and brought in the clothes from the tray. Gu Baozhen took off his drenched robe behind him, and threw it on a light-colored sandalwood hanger beside him.

Gu Baozhen, who had his back to his friend, suddenly loosened his shoulders, and realized that only he started to care about the distance between them, while Bo Yanliang... didn't.

His Highness the Crown Prince's hand holding the hem of his clothes suddenly let go, and the heart growing on his wrist was caught back into his chest by himself. He pursed his lips and sighed, but he didn't know whether it was disappointment or happiness.

A young but deep and sweet voice without boundaries came from behind: "Xiaoqi, wipe my back for me."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not turn his head back, and said hesitantly: "Wipe it yourself, don't you have long hands?"

Sensing Xiaoqi's anger, Mr. Bo walked directly behind the boy by the window, seemingly inexplicable, but he thought he understood. In the spring shower, his upper body covered with young and beautiful muscles was bare, and he supported Gu with one hand. On the coffee table in front of Xiao Qi, half-dry, half-wet black long hair was winding and undulating like seaweed on his broad and strong back, and his well-proportioned texture almost looked like the chest and abdomen of a work of art.

Mr. Bo carried a gust of warm wind over the treasure in the sky, and said, "Are you angry? Is it because I came here without authorization?"

Gu Baoyu walked down the slope and said, "Yes."

"It's just right, I'm also very angry, so how about we get even?"

"What are you angry about?" His Royal Highness frowned and looked sideways. The first thing that appeared in his vision was the lean muscles that seemed to have never been noticed before, but now suddenly had a particularly strong sense of existence. His Highness subconsciously leaned back a little, Then he shot his eyes at Bo Yanliang and said, "You were drunk yesterday, I don't want to disturb your rest, but the sooner you do the cowpox, the better, so I didn't count you as one, it's just a coincidence, What are you so angry about?"

Gu Baozhen asked the question knowingly.

Mr. Bo stuffed the handkerchief in Gu Baozhen's hands, and casually lifted up his naturally curly long black hair with both hands, curled it on the top of his head, fixed it with a wooden hairpin, and said, "How can we change the things that have been agreed? "

"It's called flexibility, not to mention which one is more important, the vaccinia vaccine or you?"

"Vaccinia, of course."

"I."

The two teenagers spoke in unison, but they gave different answers.

Gu Baozhen really convinced the brain circuit of this steel straight man, do you want to be so self-aware?Um?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, since you are here, I can't drive you out, you are so close to me, maybe you will get cowpox, you have to be prepared." Gu Baozhen suppressed himself forcefully All the awkwardness, said to Brother Bo in a serious manner, "By the way, when you came, did you tell Mr. Bo?"

Bo Yanliang could feel Gu Xiaoqi's gentle movements of wiping the rainwater off his back little by little, and said, "No."

Gu Baoyu had no choice but to say, "What are you doing like this? Your critical Mr. Bo hates me even more."

"Do you care if he likes it or hates it?" Bo Yanliang's tone concealed his indifference, "He's old."

"Hey, he's old, and it has nothing to do with whether I care or not. It's just that he's your father, isn't he?"

Mr. Bo would turn around now, and Gu Baozhen naturally wiped the rainwater in front of Bo Yanliang, Mr. Bo lowered his eyes to stare at Gu Xiaoqi's very puzzled black pupils, and briefly explained: "It's my father, but I It's me, he's him, he can't control what I do, and I can't control what he wants to do."

"It's really strange, you were not like this when you were young." His Highness the Crown Prince teased, "You were obedient when you were young, and now you have entered the rebellious period?"

"What is the rebellious period?" Bo Yanliang would never ask Xiaoqi why he always popped up so many strange words, but only tried to understand, "Is it you? Disobedient? Kill first and then play, and make trouble outside. ?”

Gu Baozhen opened his eyes wide, and argued: "It's not that exaggerated, and after ten days, we will recover, and we will prove the safety of this kind of cowpox to the world. In the future, if... I mean, if there is really a place where smallpox is rampant , all people who have been vaccinated will not get smallpox! At that time, everyone will know how wise it was to listen to the royal family."

"Xiaoqi, I know you are sure that cowpox is safe, and many of your decisions are correct. You have a strange self-confidence, which is good. I also know that I should trust you, but it is not easy. The things you did before, are not easy. It's not dangerous, so I'm not worried, this time it's different, you make me worry." Bo Yanliang looked into Gu Xiaoqi's eyes firmly, and said, "I don't like this kind of worry, it seems that my whole body has been poured into you. I almost fell when I got on a stiff horse, and I don’t like you leaving without saying goodbye, and I don’t like you playing chess with Liao Bijun in the next room.”

"I……"

"I think His Majesty and Empress Dowager probably also feel that I will be more at ease if I take care of you here."

Hearing Bo's disgusting confession style, Gu Xiaoqi immediately became worried about his elder brother and parents, with a self-willed look of knowing his mistake but not changing it: "Mother knows too? How is she?" ? The sixth brother should have gone to talk to his mother, right? Actually, I have nothing to do here."

Bo Yanliang paused for a moment, and said: "Understood, and it's very bad. He said that he would come to take care of you immediately, but no one could persuade him. He also said that the sixth prince has been fooling around with you all day, and now he is becoming more and more disobedient, yes To piss her off."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smiled lonely and suspiciously: "Did you lie to me?"

Bo Yanliang saw a few words that made Gu Xiaoqi feel sad, pursed her lips, and said calmly: "If the empress knows, she will say that, and the empress will definitely come over and dye with you Suffering from cowpox, the empress is getting old, taking medicines to nourish her heart, and her eyes are not very good, if she is infected with cowpox, something might go wrong, Xiaoqi, what do you think you should do?"

Gu Baozhen hated Bo Yanliang's alarmist talk. He couldn't imagine that if his mother's physical fitness was too poor, she got cowpox, and she had some special immune reaction, so she went straight away, what would he do?

He will die.

"Don't talk about it, you just want to accuse me of not bringing you with me, and I will kill you first. Can't I apologize to you here? You have to make me feel uncomfortable to be happy, right?"

Mr. Bo looked expressionlessly at Xiao Qi who was about to cry, and said, "Yes, otherwise you won't have a long memory."

Gu Baozhen choked at the words, and threw the handkerchief that was wiping Bo Yanliang's face directly on Bo Yanliang's face.

Mr. Bo smiled lightly under the veil, left Xiao Qi's side, went to change into clean clothes, and told Xiao Qi: "Wait for me for whatever you do in the future, otherwise don't do it, you know ?”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inexplicably remembered what Liao Bijun said before that he was under the control of Bo Yanliang. With the current situation, he did not wrong him. He indeed seemed to be always restrained by Bo Yanliang.

"Understood." His Royal Highness was in a complicated mood.

The two teenagers who had grown up playing games did not count as quarrels, and quickly reconciled, except that Gu Xiaoqi didn't want to sleep in the same wing with Bo Yanliang, and insisted on driving him to the next door. , everything went smoothly.

At night, Gu Baojin and Bo Yanliang sat together for dinner, and went back to their rooms to rest. They were lying on the bed and thinking wildly, but they found that there were some needle-sized blisters on their skin, which were neither painful nor itchy—he had successfully contracted cowpox. !

Cowpox will grow into mature chickenpox with redness around it in about two or three days. During this period, it will be very itchy. Gu Baojin is a restless sleeper. In fact, he is afraid that he will unconsciously reach out to scratch at night. If it grows on his face, he will scratch it. , How ugly is it to leave a sunken acne pit?

Gu Baozhen dreamed of this in his dream in the middle of the night. He dreamed that his face was full of acne, and he was scared to death. He woke up in a cold sweat, and then felt that it might not be a wise decision to drive Bo Anliang away. He remembers the teaching relationship between them, and he doesn't remember the thick heat under the medicine, so why should he drive people away with a guilty conscience?Wouldn't it be nice to stay as a tool to control his hands and not to scratch around?

Most people are always more impulsive at night than during the day, and the decisions they make will make their daytime self suspect that their brains have been stolen at night.

His Royal Highness, whose brain was stolen, was scratching his head and wanted to get up. He sneaked into the cold room and asked to sleep together and take care of each other. However, he didn't get up yet, and the room didn't know When did a person enter, this person may be similar to a cat, and there was no footsteps exposed at all at first, and it was only when he got close to Gu Baozhen's bed that Gu Xiaoqi's heart was beating in the dark, sensing someone approaching.

Gu Baozhen's first reaction was not to shout 'Come here, there is an assassin', but to squint his eyes to see who it is. He probably has an answer in his heart, so he chose such an unsafe move.

The person who came had a familiar voice and shadow, the familiar light and pleasant smell belonged to the indescribable hormonal breath of young people, which invaded the whole room cleanly and forcefully, causing Gu Baozhen on the bed to suddenly fall into the situation where he only dared to pretend to be asleep last night.

Gu Baoyu, who pretended to be sleeping, was taken care of by Brother Bo, twisted the corner of the quilt, and put his hands under the quilt. As long as he took it out, he would be forced to put it back. It seems that he came here specially to guard him, so that he would not be caught arbitrarily. of.

In the darkness, even though His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was still unclear about the relationship between himself and Brother Bo, he still felt a little relieved, smiled softly, and soon fell into a deep sleep, dreamless all night.

The days of being locked up in the Zhuangzi were actually very leisurely for Gu Baozhen, except that he and Bo Yanliang took medicine each other every day, and applied a herbal medicine to help relieve itching and prevent inflammation, but he was obedient and refused to play chess with Liao Bijun. Three days later, he developed a lot of cowpox, and he couldn't see the wind even more. He and Bo Yanliang simply hid in the same wing and didn't go out.

The thing that worried Gu Baozhen did not happen. He had a pustules between his eyebrows, not all over his face, but the huge pustules also made Gu Baozhen feel troublesome, for fear that it would explode in his sleep like the one on the back of his neck. Then leave a sunken acne mark.

Bo Yanliang was much more unlucky than him, Gu Xiaoqi could see a big lump growing on the tip of Bo Yanliang's nose, making it look like he had been stung by a bee, the already tall nose became even bigger, But Bo Yanliang also turned up his face suddenly for some reason, caring for the pustules very carefully, but not paying much attention to the ones on his body.

As for Mr. Liao, Gu Baozhen had forgotten about him for several days. One day, he caught Gui Xi who was delivering food and asked him. The scene of the person with acne walking was really distressing for a while, but it was Liao Bijun who asked for it, and you have to be mentally prepared to play tricks with Gu Baozhen!

He doesn't like guys who rush to make friends with him, who are too purposeful.

What's more, if we met in that kind of place, the first impression would be bad.

Gu Baozhen felt that he probably had some double standards. Lan Jiumu was trying to please him, and Mr. Liao was trying to please him. Of course, the former was more acceptable to him.

The ten long days passed in a flash, during which Gu Baozhen received several family letters from inside and outside the palace, one from the emperor's father.

The old man said: Be bold, seven dogs, be careful of your ass when you come out.

A letter came from the fourth brother. The fourth brother said: The book has been printed and has been sent to private schools and temples in various places. The cement road has been built for three days, and the city is connected to the city beyond the nine gates.

The fourth brother's letter didn't contain any words of concern, it only talked about things that Gu Baozhen cared about, so reading it was happier than reading the letter from the old man.

Fifth brother also sent a letter. In the letter, there was a long and lengthy article, and he wrote all kinds of trivial matters. Gu Baozhen didn't find it annoying. He read every word and every word, and he seemed to be able to see five words between the lines. Brother jumps up and down in the water department to choose talents.

Fifth Brother didn't mention his cowpox either, as if he just went out to play mischievously for a few days, and was with his good brother Bo Weiliang, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for the last letter, it came from the army.

It was a family letter from the third brother who had been scolded by him before. When the third brother wrote the letter, he probably didn't know that he had made such a mess in the capital, so he didn't say anything. He drew a crude picture of a large goose stewed in an iron pan.

As soon as Gu Xiaoqi saw this painting, he knew that the third brother was blatantly threatening revenge!

Damn it, when he recovers and returns to the palace, the first thing to do is to protect General Bai!

Regarding the replies, Gu Baozhen didn't reply to any of them. Everything on his side might be contagious to a certain extent. It's better not to take risks. After he goes out, he will settle the accounts with his father and brother one by one, and sell the miserable ones. Miserable, all in all, to escape the punishment of his father and brother for beheading him first and playing later.

In addition to worrying about his mother beating him and his father hitting him with a board after going out, Gu Baozhen was also worried about rubbing medicine on each other with Bo Yanliang.

The front is fine, just wipe it in front of the mirror, but the back, on the buttocks, he is not a snake spirit, of course he can't turn his upper body 180 degrees, right?And it's not good for Guixi to be infected too, right?So I had to rub medicine with Bo Yanliang, who contracted cowpox from himself.

Gu Baozhen selectively forgot that cowpox is not as contagious as smallpox at all. Anyway, he rubbed it with Brother Bo. He had a pustule that grew out of place, and it poked the colored ones on his chest in a very symmetrical way. In the other place, there is another one that is very obscene, hidden deep behind the thigh, so that every time the medicine is applied, Gu Baozhen turns red all over, and starts to think about things again.

I always think about myself like this, it should be easy to call out, but Fan Bo Yanliang is still a man, a little bit of that, I will definitely not be able to hold it, come to a bully and force my bow, oops, what will I do then?It should be a symbolic resistance, right?

However, Bo Yanliang is probably not a man, there is no such thing as a hard bow, it is all the cranky thinking of adolescent Gu Xiaoqi.

Ten days passed in a daze, and on that very day, Gu Baozhen deliberately got up early in the morning to take a bath and incense, and in high spirits he yelled for Brother Bo, who is not a man, and Mr. Jia Liao, a passer-by, to come out of the village!

The crown prince's car had been waiting outside early, but Gu Baozhen spared no time and went to the front yard first to meet the craftsmen who were treating burns in the Zhuangzi.

The craftsmen probably didn't expect His Royal Highness to come to see them. Most of them were elderly people. When they saw Gu Baoyu coming back with a full beard, they covered their faces on the spot and thanked the Bodhisattva for blessing. They asked Xiaoqi to ask things:

"The cowpox is really so miraculous?"

"I heard that a miracle doctor who inoculates with human pox will die in all likelihood. Smallpox grows on humans, while cowpox grows on cows. With this kind of cowpox, will people also turn into cows?"

"Old man Zhang, didn't you see that His Highness the Crown Prince has come back in good health?"

"But His Royal Highness is the God of Valley, that's the blessing of the gods, and we can't guarantee that if we are vaccinated, we will come back well..."

"Your Highness said it will be fine, so it will be fine! Old Zhang, have you listened to gossip from outsiders a lot, and you are actually afraid of this and suspect Your Highness!"

Few of the craftsmen questioned Gu Baozhen at the beginning, but now there are some differences. Half of the people believe in him and take the initiative to vaccinate, then the remaining small part will follow the crowd, starting from the father, radiation from top to bottom, not to mention the officials, the emperor has vaccinated, you don’t vaccinate , you still don't want to hang out?

Besides, Mr. Liao also got cowpox, and Bo Yanliang also got it. They can't be blessed by gods, can they?

Gu Baozhen talked with the craftsmen for a while, and explained a lot of his feelings about having vaccinia very kindly, and firmly stated that vaccinia can prevent smallpox, like a product spokesperson, he advertised for a long time, and finally he was in Bohanliang He left Zhuangzi at the urging of his father and returned to Beijing in a carriage.

Just when Gu Baoyu took a deep breath and was about to concentrate on consoling his mother, a bloody BMW came galloping from across the city. The fifth child of the Gu family, Gu Yan'an!

The fifth prince has always loved martial arts, he went straight two meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, imposing like a rainbow, leaned directly beside Gu Baoyu's carriage, no one dared to stop him, and shouted: "His Royal Highness, come out."

The loud voice made Gu Xiaoqi's head stunned for a moment. He subconsciously glanced at Brother Bo. Fifth Brother hugged one arm and sat in front of Fifth Brother.

"Fifth brother? What's wrong?!" Gu Xiaoqi's soul was about to be yelled at by fifth brother.

However, the fifth brother kicked the horse's belly hard without stopping and took him away. The horse ran fast, and the scenery on both sides receded like a line. After a while, he went directly to the third brother's mansion. When he saw the plaque and the surrounding area of ​​the third brother's mansion Gu Baozhen felt a little worried, thinking that the third brother also came back during the few days when he was locked up in Zhuangzi.

Because Gu Baozhen took care of the injuries of the craftsmen very well, and had time to tamp down his anger towards the third brother, he suddenly knew that the third brother was back, and joy floated on his pretty face, thinking that the third brother disliked him for riding in a carriage It was too slow, so I asked Brother Wu to come over and pick him up and leave.

"Third Brother is back?" His Highness the Crown Prince was dragged by Fifth Brother and entered the lobby of the palace. There were many women in the lobby who were the third brother's dewy love affairs during his years of fighting abroad.

Those Ji concubines and their wives were about a dozen, and when they saw the Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince coming in such a hurry, they retreated voluntarily, leaving behind Gu Wen, the Third Prince who had just returned to the palace and sat in his seat with his armor still on.

The third prince was drinking tea. After blowing away the tea leaves on the tea noodles with his lowered eyes, he heard the movement, but he didn't take a sip. He gently put the teacup on the tea table on the right, and then raised his eyes suddenly, with a pair of extremely terrifying eyes. The cold black eyes locked on the young prince.

The prince is weak, with the spring breeze wrapped around him, and the pity of the whole world, but not including the third brother in front of him.

Gu Baoyu's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he always felt that the third brother who scolded and gagged with himself in the family letter looked very different from the real third brother.

He was a little scared.

"Brother, Xiao Qi is here." Fifth Brother finished speaking beside him, and then found a seat and sat down by himself.

Gu Baozhen, the crown prince, has no courage in front of his brothers at the moment. He nervously looks at the third brother who is more fierce and frightening than he imagined, not knowing what to say.

He stood for a long time as if forced to stand, maybe it didn't take long before he saw the third brother stand up suddenly, slowly approaching him with thousands of dead souls behind him, and then the right hand holding the knife to kill Gu Baozhen touched Gu Baozhen's cheek, and his voice was Extremely frighteningly low:

"Qi Gou'er, is it true that no one dares to beat you when I've been away all these years? Huh?"
