I was the heir in ancient times

Gu Baozhen has no right to speak with the old lady, since he was asked to move to Kunning Palace, he really moved there overnight, and brought it together with General Bai's old nest. The youngest son, who was coaxed by the old wife to eat porridge, just shook his head. Just as his butt was about to sit on the edge of the bed, the old wife glared at him and said, "Go aside."

The emperor Gu Shiyong, who took off his court clothes, was wearing a simple silver-gray uniform. After taking off the hair crown, only a golden hair tie was left to tie the upper part of his long hair. Gu Shiyong, who was just in his early 50s, was with his old wife Together, they looked extraordinarily young, and they didn’t get angry when they were glared at by the old wife. They sat down anyway, stretched out their hands to lift the piece of cloth covering the younger son’s buttocks and looked at them, then shook their heads and smiled.

"You're still laughing, it's all good things done by your good third son. He is promising now. Even if Xiao Qi has a good temper and doesn't have the posture of a prince, he still beats the prince and is lawless. You don't care about it. Come on me What's the 'tsk' here?"

Gu Yangshi was probably out of breath. To her handsome husband who used to be afraid of being scared when he spoke loudly, his nose was not his nose, and his eyes were not his eyes: "I don't think you are a good thing. From now on, Xiaoqi will follow me Now, you can do whatever you want, don't get our mother and son involved!"

Gu Shiyong smiled without saying a word, and waited until the old wife had vented enough before looking at his youngest son who had been silent all this time. His youngest son is now a magnificent young man, and he would attract a lot of embarrassment when he went out. timid woman's eyes.

When he was Xiaoqi's age, he married his old wife and started to fight, but his youngest son is still lying on his old wife's bed, crying so hard that he couldn't open his eyes because of a beating.

Gu Shiyong didn't have any distressed expression on his face, but said: "Xiaoqi, you think so too? From now on, you will live in this Kunning Palace, and never go out again?"

Gu Baozhen, who was recuperating like a little piggy on the bed, blinked his dry eyes and shook his head for a while.

"Okay, originally I was going to beat you up too, but because the third child has already beaten you, I will spare you one beating. Who told you to be so reckless, causing many people to worry? This It's yours." Gu Shiyong said, put his palm on Xiao Qi's head, rubbed it lightly, and said, "As for the matter of the third child beating you without authorization, you are the prince, as long as you say that the third child If you commit the following crimes, I will deal with him according to the laws of the country, even if he has just made great achievements and is in the limelight, he will still have to be punished, as long as you sue your father now."

Gu Baozhen looked at his father's favored face without any signs of age, shook his head, and said, "It happened because I didn't pay attention and fell down."

Gu Shiyong raised his eyebrows, and said seductively: "Qigouer, you don't have to hide it for the third child. He didn't know me when he hit you. If he hit you, he hit me. Dad, can't you avenge me?"

Gu Baozhen shut up and didn't say a word.

Gu Shiyong waited for a long time but couldn't wait for Xiao Qi to change his mind, so he smiled and said nothing more.

Gu Yangshi sighed, patted Xiao Qi on the back as he did when he was a child, coaxing Xiao Qi to sleep, and interjected in a low voice: "Shiyong, when did you say that Xiao Qi's crown prince will be taken away? Xiao Qi Qi is still young, and has been working for ten years. How can I be happy every day? I look at Zhitong and the fourth child, and Zhitong is the eldest child. These years, I have come to pay my respects every day, and there is no one outside who does not praise him. , you don't have to worry..."

Gu Shiyong's voice suddenly turned cold: "Asu, I'm 76, what was I doing when I was sixteen? What was he doing? Is he still young?"

Gu Yangshi has never intervened in Gu Shiyong's decision, not even once, even when Xiaoqi was the prince, Gu Yangshi was obedient and unconditionally believed that the decisions made by her husband were the best decisions, but ten years later , Gu Yang's heart has long been on the youngest son, always feeling that the youngest son suffers everywhere and is wronged everywhere, and then accompanied by her husband's reneging on the three-year agreement again and again, coupled with the cowpox and being beaten this time, Gu Yangshi, a woman who has never blushed with her husband at all, also put aside all her patience and reservedness, and said in a colder and tougher voice than Gu Shiyong:

"You are you, and Xiao Qi is Xiao Qi. Can we compare now with the past? You have so many sons, so it's not good to choose whoever you want? I think you are deliberately torturing Xiao Qi. You don't want to do things he doesn't want to do. Ask him to do it, are you his father?!"

Gu Shiyong paused, then said quietly: "A Su, sometimes being good for Xiao Qi is not to satisfy him, but to help him walk on the right path."

"I think the right way for Xiaoqi is to be good, just like Lao Liu, do what he likes to do, whether it's flying into the sky or studying food, let him do whatever he wants, let him find a good girl, and have a dozen children , when he gets old in the future, how good would it be to take care of him like us? This is the way Xiaoqi should go, Shiyong, I have seen several girls, and in two days, when Xiaoqi can go to the ground, I will go one by one Let’s see, I won’t discuss this matter with you, Xiao Qi’s matter will be decided by me in the future!”

Gu Shiyong was unwilling to confront the old wife tit for tat. No matter how excited the old wife was, she did not interrupt the old wife's words, nor did she raise her voice suddenly. Instead, she waited for the old wife to finish speaking before looking at the younger son and saying : "Sometimes it's not easy to do what you like to do. There are always people who want to restrain him. Even being an old man is not so free. Where does Xiaoqi want to be unrestrained?"

Gu Baozhen always felt that the old man's words had some deep meaning. It is true that there are many unsatisfactory things about being an emperor. The court is not the old man's one word, but when did he say that he wanted to be free?By the way, my wife still wants to give him a blind date?

Gu Baoyu swallowed his saliva, one head and two big, but he didn't dare to refuse directly, listening to his father and mother being at the side to have a quarrel for himself, which was not what Gu Baoyu wanted, he subconsciously turned his paste-like head , smiled and said: "Mother, I'm fine, father, did the sixth brother and the fourth brother promote the cowpox prevention of smallpox together?"

"Vaccinium, vaccinia, my mother is annoyed when you say the word vaccinia." In fact, Gu Yang didn't really believe that vaccinia could prevent smallpox.

Gu Shiyong replied: "If you go out and walk around, you will probably know it. Three days ago, when you were about to recover, Lao Liu sent all the nasal plugs made of vaccinia scabs to all medical centers across the country, and even posted a Huangbang, Lao Si hired storytellers in every place to tell the story of Lao Liu's discovery of the efficacy of cowpox and your vaccination."

Gu Xiaoqi, who successfully changed the topic, immediately got into a mood and asked quickly, "Is there anyone going to vaccinate? Is there? It's best to do it as soon as possible!"

Seeing Xiao Qi's nervous expression for some reason, Gu Shiyong smiled and said: "Yes, all the soldiers in the army have taken the lead in planting, but some smart people think that this is a way for the court to control the people. Witchcraft methods are temporarily unbelievable in some places."

Gu Baozhen thought for a while and asked, "Where?"

"In a rich place, they said that there was a young cowherd baby who got vaccinia and died the next day. It is normal for rich people to cherish their lives." Gu Shiyong said lightly, "And after being inoculated with vaccinia, they need to rest in bed. It is also a problem for many poor people who have no way to rest, they will starve to death if they don’t go out to work, so even if you believe that the prince is the first to inoculate the cowpox, you don’t dare to let yourself get sick.”

This is something Gu Baozhen did not consider.

But it doesn't matter, take your time, and now the smallpox virus has not appeared, so there should be no need to worry.

"By the way, the third child and the fourth child had a big quarrel today. The cement matter may have to be put on hold for the time being, and the river channel will be passed first." Gu Shiyong chatted with his youngest son like a family.

Gu Yangshi pursed her lips and said, "Are you going to let them quarrel?"

Gu Shiyong spread his hands, and said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'm old too, how can I control them? The third child is very powerful now, and he doesn't take Lao Tzu seriously in the open or in the dark, and I don't bother to care about it. They quarrel, but if the courtiers don't quarrel, the emperor will not have a peaceful life."

Gu Baozhen was stunned for a moment, and said: "But they are not courtiers, they are father's sons..."

Gu Shiyong: "To me now, they are courtiers first, and then sons."

"..." Gu Baozhen was not surprised when he heard this, but just thought of himself, thinking that in his father's heart, he might be a courtier first, and Xiao Qi second, so it was hard to avoid being sad.

What's more, he is probably the worst courtier, the kind who has never been to the court once.

morning...

Gu Baozhen was hesitating when he heard his father say, "Xiao Qi, when you get well, remember to go to the morning court, Zhi Chuan has been appointed as the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the sixth child is the chief of the imperial hospital. You go to the household department to experience it , lest other people look at you as a prince, it would be too shameful, wouldn't it?"

If Gu Baozhen wants to go to court, he has to face the tit-for-tat confrontation between the third brother and the fourth brother. What does the father mean by letting him go to court to watch the battle now?

Gu Baozhen used to be pampered, but now that his father knows all his tricks like the back of his hand, he can't figure out what his father is thinking, so he dare not be disobedient...

He bit the bullet and said, "Okay."

During the days when he was recovering from his injuries, Gu Baozhen had nothing to do, and he couldn't see the other brothers, let alone Brother Bo.

Basket after basket of portraits was sent by my old lady. Gu Baozhen didn't look at any of them because his eyes were uncomfortable, or he pretended to sleep. In the end, he said that the old lady was as tall as one foot, and directly called those girls and ladies to come to the palace as guests. , by the way to see the prince who 'fell' and broke his ass.

The ladies who went up to the general’s house, and the girls who went down to the petty official’s house, were all well-educated and well-dressed girls, and there was a lady surnamed Qu, whom my wife liked very much. The eyes are familiar, and after a few more glances, who knows, the old lady is delighted and plans to match up.

Before being matched, Gu Baozhen was so frightened that he rolled up his own bag and took Guixi back to his South Three Office, and then met Bo Yanliang who hadn't seen him for several days.

This old friend, now disturbing him so much that he can't distinguish the boundaries of friendship, the cold-hearted brother, seems to come here all day long when he is not in Nansan Institute.

It was afternoon when Gu Baozhen came back, and the spring rain fell on the white magnolias in the yard. When Gu Baozhen saw Brother Bo from under the oil-paper umbrella, he stopped in his tracks.

"I'm tired of the cold." Gu Baozhen smiled at him, as if he had completely sorted out all his emotions, and greeted him, "You are free, and you can come to my Nansan place for snacks when I'm not around."

Mr. Bo was tall and tall, standing under the corridor of the lobby of the South No. [-] Institute, smiled at Gu Baozhen, and said, "Well, the dim sum here is more to my liking."

Gu Baoyu walked in, and Guixi who was beside him hurriedly put away his umbrella, and ordered his servants to prepare new tea and snacks, and helped the Crown Prince, who was still not fully recovered, to sit on the couch in the west hall.

Obviously it is spring now, but probably due to the recent rains, the temperature is much lower than when the spring just started, so the west hall lit a stove after the prince came back.

"You guys go down first." After sitting down, Mr. Bo said to Guixi and other servants who were waiting beside him.

But Guixi looked at the prince, got the prince's nod, then bent down and left the west hall together with all the maidservants, giving the two teenagers in the west hall a private and private space.

Gu Baozhen took a sip of tea, smiled and said to Brother Bo first, "After you go back, did you explain to Mr. Bo that you ran to isolate me for the vaccination yourself, and I didn't drag you there."

Mr. Bo smiled lightly: "I said that you insisted on dragging me to vaccinate the pox, and I have no choice but to accompany you."

"Bah. I believe you are a ghost." His Royal Highness knew that Bo Yanliang was bickering with him, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the previous state, and that night no longer existed.

"By the way, I heard you were injured?" Bo Yanliang had his own news channel, "But it's related to the third prince?"

Gu Baozhen really had nothing to hide in front of Brother Bo, shrugged his shoulders, still smiling, and said, "No way, third brother is getting more and more violent now."

"Where did you hurt?" Bo Yanliang said, and added, "I wanted to visit you earlier, but I couldn't get in the Kunning Palace. I wanted to ask Guixi to send you some medicinal oil, but Guixi It is said that the medicine from the empress is naturally the best medicine in the world, and I am afraid that my things are of no use to you, so forget it."

Gu Baozhen didn't know there was such a thing: "Thank you for thinking about it."

"Should be."

After saying this, Bo Yanliang suddenly didn't know why, and said: "Xiaoqi, you don't have to always smile in front of me, it looks too fake."

The smile on Gu Baozhen's face froze, and he collapsed on the couch, completely forgetting that he had no secrets in front of Brother Bo, so he let out a long sigh of relief and said, "I'm sorry, sorry, I forgot."

"Are you having a good time these few days?" Mr. Bo said in an astonishing way.

Gu Baozhen was also the one who dared to answer honestly. He was about to step on Mr. Bo's leg, but because of some unspeakable emotions, he restrained himself, kept a certain distance, and said, "You know, my mother loves me all day long." Look girl, oh, I'm going to court in two days. Do you think I'm in a good mood?"

"I have to go and see my elder brother. If he doesn't see me, I'll force him in." Gu Baozhen can't go to court, once he goes to court, it's like officially becoming the prince. This kind of specious signal makes him nervous and guilty , Nervous that he would not be a good prince, guilty that he was still sorry to his eldest brother, step by step he inexplicably stabilized the position of prince.

Oh, it's not very stable, the third brother said that he will bring himself down in a few years.

"Xiao Qi, what are you thinking?" Suddenly, Gu Baozhen's feet and ankles were pulled, and his whole body leaned towards Bo Yanliang, with his legs resting on Brother Bo's lap, and then lay on his back under Gu Baozhen on the couch In a second, I saw Bo Yanliang's handsome face with a gentle shadow falling on him.

This is a different kind of wall-dong.

His Royal Highness looked at Brother Bo, who was holding his cheek with one hand and behaved intimately with him. His body almost bounced away from the guy who made his heart beat faster, but he didn't. As if willing to admit defeat, he forced himself not to divert his gaze, looked directly at Brother Bo's dark blue pupils, and said in a soft voice, "I was thinking, if big brother wants, he can try to come out in a wheelchair to see Look at the prosperous world he and his father created."

"wheelchair?"

"Well, fourth brother has a craftsman there, I plan to draw the blueprint tonight, and it should be delivered to eldest brother's Huangji Hall in a few days."

"You should know that the reason His Royal Highness didn't come out is not because there is no way to come out. He is a prince, as long as he wants, he can be carried out by more than a dozen people." Bo Yanliang's voice was calm.

Gu Xiaoqi nodded: "I know, but for a wheelchair, it's more... It's more self-respecting for the eldest brother, he can sit in a well-behaved manner, doesn't need too many people to support him, just need someone to push him from behind, It's like a modified horse-drawn carriage."

"What else?"

"What is there?" His Royal Highness tilted his head, and the reflection in his clear and clean eyes was the 16-year-old young and invincible Mr. Bo, who had a knife-like silhouette with sharp lines and perfect facial features. His Highness stretched out his hand I couldn't help pushing Bo Yanliang, and said, "You are too close to me."

Bo Yanliang was not pushed, looked at Gu Xiaoqi who was flustered, and said for a while, "Don't you like it?"

Gu Xiaoqi lied: "Well, I don't like it."

"It's fine if you don't like it. Whenever you tell the truth, I'll stay away from you."

"What do you want to hear?" Gu Baozhen pursed his lips and said, "I told you everything."

"No, Xiao Qi, you can tell me about the quarrel between the third prince and the fourth prince, and you can tell me about your distress in the middle, and I will help you. If you don't tell me, how can I help you?"

Gu Baozhen was helpless: "Why do you know everything? Just like my father..."

"And you can't help, it's complicated, it just feels like... if I... never existed, maybe everyone would be better off, some things would be right without me."

Gu Xiaoqi was guided to speak out the panic that was silent in his heart as he wished. He looked at Bo Yanliang's eyes, and the other party gradually blurred in his eyes, so he quickly covered his eyes with the back of his hand and continued: "I'm thinking, Maybe I shouldn't exist."

"Father... also knows that I am an exception. Everyone knows that I am strange and that I am a strange person, but I am not their little seven."

"But if I don't call you Xiaoqi, what would you call me?"

"Annoying, who do you think I am?"

The handsome and incomparably handsome Mr. Bo has found the biggest weakness that makes the prince always smile to show others that he dare not earn or grab, and just wants to keep a low profile from the messy and disorderly problems of His Royal Highness.

In the past, Bo Yanliang could vaguely sense that Gu Xiaoqi was too obedient, as if he was afraid that if he did not do well, everyone would not recognize him and hate him.

Before today, Bo Yanliang regarded Gu Xiaoqi's morbid mentality of subconsciously wishing everyone to like him as a special character, but now it seems that it is not like that.

Xiaoqi is clearly scared to death every day, anxious, wanting to do something, but also afraid that his too advanced ideas and even things that he shouldn't know will make everyone suspect his origin.

He is Xiao Qi who has a secret. Based on Bo Yanliang's speculation, Xiao Qi may be the soul of another world. The Buddha said that there are three thousand worlds. Who can be sure that there is no world where Xiao Qi can have countless special knowledge?

Bo Yanliang never cared about this issue, because to him, Gu Baozhen is Gu Baozhen, the person in front of him, any past that he has never participated in is just the past, and has no meaning to explore.

But obviously all of this is a huge burden for Gu Baozhen, and he will be so afraid that if any relatives who are absent find out doubts, they will start to worry that they will be excluded.

"It's cool, the third brother said that the fourth brother was good to me because of the cement and glass production methods I gave, but the fourth brother said that the third brother was careless about human life, and the fifth brother asked me to leave all the methods to him. The father knows everything. But just let me go to the court to watch the third and fourth brothers fight?"

"If I don't help third brother, will fifth brother run to tell mother that I'm not Xiaoqi?"

"At that time, I guess I don't have to worry about my old lady giving me a blind date..."

"Hey, am I talking too much? Are you going to say that I think too much? Who told you to ask me? You ask me and I'll tell you."

"Shh..." Bo Yanliang squeezed Gu Xiaoqi's hand, took it away, and said in an unprecedented stammer, "Xiaoqi, you are Xiaoqi, to me, you are Xiaoqi... If Without you, I wouldn’t be me, I’m Bo Yan No. [-], Xiao Qi, I don’t like you saying that if you don’t exist, don’t say it or think about it in the future.”

Bo Yanliang paused for a moment, as if he had regained his usual composure and seeing through everything: "If Xiao Qi thinks that my existence is meaningless, then what am I?"

What are you?

Gu Xiaoqi blinked her tears, her face was flushed, her heart was pounding.

"Xiaoqi, you can ignore everything and just be yourself, because you are Xiaoqi! If you are tired of being Xiaoqi, just tell me, we can go to a place where no one can find us, and when the time comes You can be whoever you want, and I will never let you be wronged."

His Royal Highness's pupils gradually widened, wondering if what he heard meant what he imagined.

Bo Yanliang is telling himself that he is ready to elope at any time? ? ?

But they don't seem to be in love, right?How did it get to elopement?

But he couldn't control his laughter, and he heard himself reply: "Oh, okay, then I can let go and do a big job after I go to court, as you said."
