obey

Li Yuan lowered his eyebrows and sat beside Ying Qi, listening to the stream flowing in the courtyard, the birds returning to their nests in the evening, and occasionally a cricket chirping.

Originally only Ying Si Ying Wu lived in this garden, and Ying Qi moved in later. Although there were not many things in the house, it was neat and tidy, and it was carefully tidied up.

Li Yuan put his hands on Ying Qi's head, sat beside him and looked around, looked around, and rubbed his soft hair.

The young man curled up in the bed moved slightly, and then woke up after a short sleep. His slender eyelashes trembled and slowly raised up. Ying Qi rubbed his eyes, and suddenly found that he was holding a bag in his hand. Only slender and shiny hands.

He woke up suddenly, looked up at Li Yuan in a daze, his mind was numb, he stared at Li Yuan motionlessly for a long time, and called out in panic: "Your Highness?"

Li Yuan raised the corner of his mouth: "Are you awake?"

Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that he was not dreaming. He even fell and crawled to the ground and knelt at Li Yuan's feet, trembling all over, with cold sweat on his forehead, tremblingly said: "Subordinate, subordinate... I'm sorry... I never Greeting from a distance, wanton touch..."

He was incoherent, terrified, and trembling so badly that Li Yuan could see the cold sweat oozing from his neck and falling into his neckline.

Li Yuan was surprised by his fear and panic towards him, and couldn't help but reflect on whether he was really too strict?

"Come here." Li Yuan stretched out his hand towards him, "Come here and listen to me."

Ying Qi almost crawled over, bowed his head and knelt at his feet, desperately showing his obedience, and kept saying, "This subordinate should die..."

Li Yuan leaned over to cover his mouth, pressed his head on her lap, forced him to calm down, and kept stroking his hair and back: "Calm down."

Ying Qi's tense body slowly relaxed, leaning against Li Yuan's knees, her drooping eyelashes still trembling.

He was so scared that he tried his best to get to His Royal Highness, he had suffered too much, and he didn't want to be rejected by His Highness because of his negligence, and he didn't want to leave him.

The previous commander said that if he violated the rules, he would be sent back to the Shadow Palace.Yingqi has always abided by the rules and has never exceeded the rules. She only wishes to quietly look at His Highness every time she is on duty.

Li Yuan let go of his hand, Ying Qi couldn't stop panting, and lowered his head weakly.

Ying Qi's voice returned to the usual deep and hoarse, with lost eyes, she said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please punish me for my disrespect."

Li Yuan leaned down, put his hands on his knees and asked him, "What are you afraid of?"

Shadow Seven remained silent.

Li Yuandao: "The shadow guard's instruction says, don't lie to the Lord."

Ying Qi bit her lip, and said truthfully: "I'm afraid His Highness won't allow his subordinates to guard in the future."

For a moment, Ying Qi couldn't help but want to tell His Royal Highness that he was the one who rescued His Highness in the mangrove forest that night, and wanted His Highness to believe in him, he was harmless to the palace and His Highness.

He still held back.I'm afraid that after I say it, I will be considered ulterior motives.

Li Yuan was silent, he was waiting, waiting for this little shadow guard to confess to himself, the reason why he fell from the sky in the mangrove forest that night.He didn't know what Ying Qi was insisting on, but he didn't say anything.

The more he didn't say anything, the more Li Yuan felt that he was concealing himself, whether it was intentional concealment or genuine difficulties, Li Yuan was very disgusted that others concealed anything about him.

The "Do not lie to the Lord" in the shadow guard's instruction was added by His Royal Highness.

Li Yuan waited for a long time, but Ying Qi still knelt quietly at his feet without saying a word.

Li Yuan just looked at him condescendingly, Ying Qi's face was cold, his eyes were frightened, and there was no trace of relaxation.Li Yuan suddenly grabbed Ying Qi's hair, pulled him in front of him, forced him to raise his face, and asked him: "Ying Qi, didn't you smile happily just now? Why are you so stubborn towards me? Are you angry?" Give me a smile too?"

Ying Qi was at a loss and looked at Li Yuan blankly.

Li Yuan left him disappointed, and walked away.

Ying Qi knelt on the spot, watching His Royal Highness go away, her long hair swaying slightly in the wind.He saw the disappointment and loneliness in His Highness's eyes. At that moment, Ying Qi seemed to see His Highness Shizi sitting alone on a high platform, sighing lonely.

After leaving the garden, Li Yuan rearranged his clothes and left.The little girl beside her, Liu Yu, ran over panting, "Your Highness, where have you been all this time?"

Li Yuan showed a tired smile: "Walk around in the mansion."

Liuyu said: "My lord is leaving for Qinglongya tomorrow morning, why don't you come over and say hello?"

Li Yuan thought for a while: "Now pass."

The old prince likes to be quiet, but also needs to maintain his health. He lives in a spacious side hall.

Li Yuan entered the Ming Bamboo Hall, the old prince was teasing the parrot with a mahogany stick, he had gray beard and hair, but his eyes were still clear.

"Father?" Li Yuan went to support the old prince, "You look much better, you can even get up and play with birds."

The old prince blew his beard: "I'm so angry with you, boy! It's not good to provoke anyone, you have to provoke Peacock Villa, you can really cause trouble for this king!"

Li Yuan laughed: "I know I made a mistake, and I will never do it again. I can't help it. Peacock Villa is too much of a bully, robbing the bride! Robbing the baby's righteous sister! Can I bear it?"

"Don't follow the example of people in the rivers and lakes who worship you. You are the son of the royal family and you are proud of your identity, do you know that?" The old prince taught earnestly, "If you want to protect your righteous sister, you should think about your own marriage. It's the right age for you, why don't you go and stay with her for a while..."

Li Yuan raised his head and rubbed his face: "I said father, you are my father, you are not Baxia's father? Besides, people don't look down on me, Baxia said, if you want to marry, you should marry a heroic Wuhan son like General Chu Wei." .Also said, seeing me beat me once, how can I offend her, I don't have time to hide."

"I don't want to go to the battlefield with my arms and legs flying around. I'll say something ugly about it. Your 30 Howling Wolf Camp Tiger Talisman will be thrown into my hands if you give it to me. You should take a few adopted sons."

"Oh." The old prince sighed shamelessly, and asked again, "How's your homework?"

"You don't need to worry about your child's homework, it's okay." Li Yuan helped the old prince out of the courtyard, looked at the green bamboos, and changed his mood.

"Tomorrow, the king will go out to recuperate. Your confinement has not been lifted yet. Don't go out and cause trouble. Don't blame me for throwing you into the sword mound for three months of practice."

Li Yuan became frightened when he mentioned Jianzhong, his face turned green, and he repeatedly assured: "No, I won't go. Don't worry, I will be as good as a kitten."

The old prince was relieved, and slowly asked him: "Is the shadow seven still useful? I think he is young, so I'm afraid he can't do things well."

"He's pretty good." When talking about Ying Qi, Li Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth and looked downcast, "Hey, the child is afraid of me. But it's true, there is no one in this house who is not afraid of me."

"Well, Ying Si is not afraid of me, he beats me every day, as if I owe him wages."

The old prince shook Li Yuan's hand and sighed softly: "Fei Luan left early, I have wronged you."

Li Yuan shook his head: "How come, you always take care of your own body, the child is thankful."

Princess Qi Nan Feiluan had died of illness for many years. Whenever the old prince saw Li Yuan running to the ancestral hall at night, kneeling alone in a daze under the coffin of his mother and concubine, he felt ashamed and remorseful in his heart. He felt sorry for his son and pampered him even more. Even if Li Yuan was really too noisy, the old prince couldn't bear to punish him severely.

Apart from the icy-cold spirit tablet in the ancestral hall, who else can the prince tell about his wrongedness.

In the shadow of a wooden door at the back of the Mingzhu Hall, Ying Qi stood in the corner and listened silently. Seeing His Royal Highness coming towards this side with the support of the old prince, he quickly left.

When Li Yuan came out of the Mingzhu Hall, it was already dark, Liu Yu held a lantern to illuminate His Highness, and asked him: "Your Highness, are you going back to the study?"

Li Yuan took one of the lamps in her hand: "I'm going to the ancestral hall, you can go."

"Your Highness..." Liuyu said worriedly, "It's too late, servant girl, let's go with you, in case something happens..."

"Go," Li Yuan smiled, "Go back."

Liuyu had no choice but to obey and go back. Fortunately, there were shadow guards watching everywhere in the palace, as long as he did not leave the palace, His Highness was absolutely safe.

Li Yuan went to the ancestral hall alone.

Candles were brightly lit in the ancestral hall, and a thousand ever-burning lamps surrounded Concubine Qi's spiritual seat. Li Yuan knelt on the futon, looked at the spiritual tablet of his mother and concubine, and whispered to himself.

"Mother and concubine, father is in much better health."

"I have to push back on my marriage with Princess Baxia. She doesn't like me, and I don't like her either. It's definitely not going to be a good life if we force them together."

"Mother and concubine, if I fail to leave for Prince Qi's mansion, will you and my father be very sad?"

The candle flame flickered, as if answering.

"Okay, I won't mention the marriage, don't be angry." Li Yuan rubbed his face and said a little disappointed, "Tell me, besides you and my father, can anyone treat me sincerely in this world... No, I also If you don’t want to treat me sincerely, just, just have a nice talk.”

"Yes." A deep and pleasant voice answered very lightly.

Li Yuan turned his head, and Ying Qi was standing outside the ancestral hall with a lantern in his hand, the beating firelight reflected on his cold and innocent face, soft and peaceful.

Ying Qi held a lotus leaf purple potato steamed bun in his hand, the master chef made it delicate and small, and it was still steaming.

He said nervously and nervously, "Your Highness, midnight snack... do you want to eat?"

The breeze brushed the hair in front of Yingqi's forehead, and a pair of clear eyes reflected the candlelight.

Li Yuan turned around and bowed to the concubine mother's spirit card: "Concubine mother, I will come to see you next time." After finishing speaking, he almost walked out happily.

Ying Qigui stood still, did not take a step into the ancestral hall, and waited for His Highness to come out.

Li Yuan came out, dragged Ying Qi to walk quickly, walked to the edge of the clear pond where the fireflies gathered, and dragged him to sit on the small bridge.

Ying Qi didn't dare to sit and shouldn't sit, but His Royal Highness held him back, so he had to obey his orders and sit beside His Highness.

He offered Li Yuan a bunch of lotus-leaf purple potato steamed buns in his arms like an offering, and carefully broke off a small piece of each, and ate it himself. He raised his eyelashes and looked at Li Yuan and said, "Your Highness, no poison."

Fireflies danced by the clear pond, and Ying Qi's eyes seemed to reflect a starry sky.
