Half blood

Li Xiuqi went to the school for several days, but the seat was always vacant.Li Xuan sat in the classroom, looked at the master, read the book, and then wandered to the empty seat. He sighed and thought: when will this smart guy get better...

He thought that his father would take him to the Ninth Palace to make an apology these few days, so that he could justifiably go to see Li Xiuqi.But the royal father never came to look for him, and he didn't come after waiting for several days.

Then he wondered again, as a prince, what reason would he have to go to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to see him in a grand manner.After thinking about it, he didn't have a clue, he sighed and looked at Li Fei.

Looking at Li Fei, he thought again, when he was in his mother's womb, his sister probably snatched all his brains away.He is not as eccentric as Li Fei. If you ask her about this, she will definitely come up with a good idea.But yesterday Li Fei came to ask him to visit, but he flatly refused, and if he asked now, Li Fei would definitely laugh at him.

Thinking of this, Li Xuan scratched his hair and swallowed back the words on his lips.Li Fei on the side had already noticed that Li Xuan was about to speak but stopped blinking his eyes, so he put down the scroll in his hand and said, "What's the matter? What bad idea are you planning?"

Li Xuan hurriedly sat upright, held up the book in his hand, hid his face behind the book, and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing..." Then he poked his head out suddenly and asked, "Sister, can you borrow your book?" me?"

"Ah?" Li Fei wondered if her ears were broken. It's fine for Li Xuan to call her elder sister without being forced by her. He still needs to borrow books from him...

"That's right, I just want to borrow your book. I haven't listened to it in class these few days, and I want to review it according to the notes on my sister's book."

When Li Fei heard this, his eyes widened, he stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, and said, "Are you stupid for copying books yesterday?"

Li Xuan twisted his head, shook off that hand, and said: "Love to borrow or not," then rolled his eyes, and said again: "I see that it's not that you don't want to borrow, but that you haven't attended the class very much and left no comments, right?"

"What? How is it possible? Do you think everyone is like you?" Li Fei opened the book in his hand, held it in front of him, and said, "Look, look! Are you literate?"

Li Xuan snatched the book and put it in his arms, saying: "Thank you good sister, thank you good sister."

Seeing that the book had been robbed, Li Fei stomped his feet and said, "What's wrong with you today? It's fine if you don't read yourself and don't let others read."

"Good sister, good sister," Li Xuanyang begged, "How about this, in order to repay my sister's kindness for borrowing books, I will give you all the good things Brother Wei Yuan brought me from the west in a few days, how about it?"

Hearing Wei Yuan's name, Li Fei paused and said, "Is that true?"

Li Xuan nodded hurriedly and said, "Really, really."

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow. You must remember what you said today. Everything is mine."

"It's all yours, it's all yours."

Back in the study room, Li Xuan took out the book he had obtained by all means from his arms, opened the ink, and raised a pen to neatly transcribe the annotations on the booklet into his own booklet.

After writing five or six characters, he threw the pen away and scratched his head with both hands discouraged.The writing on this booklet is really ugly. It is not as delicate as Li Fei's daughter's family, nor is it the slightest bit of character. It is limp and crooked.

He sighed and thought to himself, if he had known today, he should have practiced calligraphy well before.Taking a deep breath, he picked up the pen again, exerted force on his wrist, and wrote down a few more lines seriously.After copying only one or two pages, he felt profusely sweating and his hands were sore.

So the little eunuch who was waiting was brought some hot tea, he woke up, and then began to copy. After some time, his eyes were blurred, his wrists were sore and swollen, and he lost all strength. Finally, he wrote the whole book. Finish the transcription.

He blew lightly on the wet paper, held it up and looked at it carefully, and thought it was not bad.Then he stretched contentedly, got up and put out the candle.Only then did I realize that the room was already full of light, and it turned out that the sun had already risen for some time.

Li Xuan hurriedly put the book into his clothes, yawned, and wiped his eyes with cold water.Pushed to wake up the little eunuch who was sleeping staggeringly, and said: "Wipe off the saliva, and go to the Nine Princes' Mansion first today."

The eunuch hurriedly got up from the ground, straightened the crown on his head that was tilted to one side, and said: "Your Highness, you haven't slept all night, don't you want to rest first?"

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm in good spirits. Oh, by the way, bring the adult ginseng that brother Wei Yuan sent last year."

The eunuch hurriedly responded, thinking, hey, this rich family is different, a thousand-year life is called adult ginseng...

When Li Xuan specially picked a Ninth Prince to go to court, he was a little afraid of this uncle. This uncle was exactly the same as Li Xiuqi. I'm just a little scared.

Seeing him coming, the steward of the Ninth Prince's Mansion quickly bowed and said, "Your Highness, the little prince is still awake, why don't you come back another day..."

"That's it..." Li Xuan sighed, it's better to hit the sun than to choose another day, and thinking that Li Xiuqi is not in good health, he must be sleeping lightly, and he finally got some sleep, so it's best not to disturb him, so he pressed the button on his lapel Book, said: "Hey...then I'll come back another day..."

At this moment, he suddenly heard a soft sound from the room, as if something had fallen to the ground, he rushed to push the door open before the servant and went in, and saw a pillow fell on the floor of the room.He bent down and picked up the pillow, frowned slightly, a little puzzled, and whispered: "This sleeping posture is too bad..."

Li Xiuqi's pale face squeezed out a slight smile, and said: "Your Highness, please..."

Li Xuan patted the pillow, carefully supported Li Xiuqi's shoulders, stuffed the pillow behind Li Xiuqi's back, covered the bedding by the way, and said in a low voice, "Don't always call me that, Your Highness. Do you want to stand so far away?" Under the hall, someone shouted from the air.

Li Xiuqi chuckled lightly and said, "I'll listen to your Highness..."

"Hey...you," Li Xuan shook his head, moved a chair, sat down by the bed, twisted his body a little embarrassedly, and couldn't say anything when he wanted to apologize. "I, what happened to me before... I'm sorry..." He reached out and scratched his hair, "I was reprimanded by my father that day, and I was whipped. Okay, I can do anything, I'm jealous, I can't help being jealous, it's like bullying you. But I didn't expect, I didn't expect that you are weak and can't stand this torment..." Li Xuan's voice couldn't help but decrease.

Li Xiuqi stretched out his hand from the quilt, sat up straight, and said in a soft voice: "Your Highness, don't blame yourself anymore, my health is already much better."

"Really?" Li Xuan raised his eyes and looked at his face carefully, feeling that there seemed to be a trace of blood on his pale face, "Are you really all right?"

"It's really okay." Li Xiuqi squeezed a smile from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were bent.

Only then did Li Xuan breathe a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good, that's good."

The two of them didn't talk anymore, Li Xuan was still sitting on that chair, looking up and down, left and right, looking everywhere and showing no intention of leaving.Li Xiuqi asked, "Is there anything else your Highness wants to do this time?"

Li Xuan slapped his forehead, and said: "Oh, I came today to bring you the notes from these few days of class." He reached out and took out the booklet in his jacket, shaking it as if asking for credit.

Li Xiuqi took the book, opened it, and saw that the corners of the book were densely marked with ink pens, the words were ugly, but there was a sense of seriousness.Li Xiuqi smiled lightly, and said: "Your Highness really bothered..."

Li Xuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and said, "It's okay, here, this is the comment I left in my daily class..."

"Really?" Li Xiuqi responded, the handwriting on this paper faded to a high degree of consistency, and he knew it was written in a day, and he didn't expose it, just smiled and said: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"Well, you, you just stay in the room and pay attention to your body, don't worry about your homework, I will record the content of the teacher's lecture every day and bring it to you."

"No need, Your Highness..." Li Xiuqi hurriedly refused, and coughed a few times in a moment of excitement.

Li Xuan hurriedly got up and poured him a glass of water, and said, "Don't be brave, anyway, it's my fault anyway, just accept it, just accept it as my fault..."

"Your Highness..."

Li Xuan turned around and said: "You shouldn't be asked to talk so much, you go first, you rest first." He asked the eunuch following him to hand over the ginseng to the steward of the Nine Kings' Mansion, and after a few more instructions, he got up and went back to the house. palace.

Li Xiuqi opened the book he was holding in his hand, and read it line by line from the beginning.It would be a lie to say that he was not angry at all after being tossed about by Li Xuan's mischief, but now that Li Xuan came to see him sincerely, he felt that he was not angry at all.He is two years older than Li Xuan, and Li Xuan is younger, so he should give way, thinking about it will make him feel angry.

Li Xiuqi flipped through the pages until he reached the last page. The handwriting on this page was somewhat scribbled, and he could not read some characters clearly.On the edge of the last line on the paper, there is a line of words: "Wei Yuan Wei Yuan Wei Yuan".He felt that this was a person's name. He didn't know this person, but among the people who had close ties with the royal family, as far as he knew, there was a general named Wei Zhong who was guarding the southern border.He read the name again, unconsciously clenched the hand holding the scroll, and he sighed.

This person is probably a child of the general's family. The general's family must be good-natured, capable of writing and martial arts, and also strong and strong, which is better than him.Li Xiuqi put down the scroll, leaned on the bed quietly, did not move, until the servant at home came to tell him that his concubine had invited him to dinner.

Li Xiuqi got off the bed and walked to the hall.The Ninth Princess was ordering her servants to put the ginseng in a box, and when she saw him come out, she hurriedly greeted him: "I heard that the eldest prince came to apologize today, which made you feel bad and didn't eat much?"

Li Xiuqi smiled, and said: "No, my child has a pretty good appetite," while talking, Li Xiuqi sat down at the table, took the bowl and chopsticks handed over, picked up the shredded pork and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"I think the eldest prince even brought ginseng, and he sincerely apologized to you. For people like them, it's harder to keep your head down. Just forgive him."

"Well, I don't blame him either." Li Xiuqi said lightly.

Ninth Princess felt relieved, reached out and touched his face, wondering how this child was born, so mature.

"Is this food delicious?"

"Well, it's delicious." Li Xiuqi chewed and swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, and replied slowly, "Well, it's good, it's good." Ninth Princess gave him another ride. A bowl of fish soup, watching him gulp and gulp, he felt relieved and said: "I have a good appetite and my body should also be getting better. Rest for a few more days and you'll be fine."

After the meal, the imperial physician took Li Xiuqi's pulse and said that he was already in good health, and he would be fine if he took a rest on weekdays. The Ninth Princess thanked him and sent the imperial physician out.

After reaching the door, Princess Nine closed the door and said in a low voice, "The imperial doctor is here to talk."

The imperial doctor understood what was going on, so he followed.When they arrived at a place with few people, Concubine Nine finally said, "Young Lord, this disease... can it be eradicated?"

The imperial doctor saluted first, hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is telling the truth, this disease was brought out from the mother's womb, the day after tomorrow it can only be recuperated but not rooted out."

The Ninth Princess nodded and said: "Okay, I understand." She sighed, this child is a Wenqu star, born too smart, everything in this world is going up and down, too smart will not see Well done.

"Princess Li, this matter troubles you." At some point, the Ninth Prince stood behind the imperial physician, he took out an ingot of gold from his lapel, and said, "Don't talk about this matter everywhere."

The imperial doctor has been in the palace for so many years, what can be said can not be said, and there is still a steelyard in his heart.The little prince's disease was brought out from the mother's womb, but the ninth concubine did not have this disease, and neither did the ninth prince. It is impossible to say who the disease was passed down from.The imperial physician put the gold ingot into his sleeve and said softly, "I understand."
