Abandoned prince's favorite

In the 13th year of Qianyuan, winter.

Dark clouds like lead stones shrouded the sky above the capital, and a silver snake pierced through the thick clouds, illuminating most of the capital.

"Rumble..."

The billowing winter thunder came from the sky, carrying the aura of destroying the world.

The silver snake raged, and a deafening thunder exploded on the ground.

"It's not good, it's water, the East Palace is water!"

"Hurry up and put out the fire..."

……

When the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded, Xie Chengan rubbed his hands and walked out of the room, the room wasn't very warm anyway.

And he probably hasn't seen so many people in a long time.

There are no earth dragons or charcoal basins in the house. The chill penetrates into the house from the cracks, and the cold moisture seeps into the bones, leaving nowhere for people to hide.

The clothes Xie Chengan was wearing were still thin shirts in summer. He leaned against the door and kept rubbing his arms with his hands. The man's fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints. The only fly in the ointment was that his jade-like hands were covered with chilblains. The bluish-purple patches are very conspicuous.

Xu Shi looked at it for a long time, and the crowded figures and noisy voices outside gradually became blurred.

The man raised his lips slightly.

He originally had handsome eyebrows, jet-black hair hanging casually behind his back, and a pair of narrow and long phoenix eyes seemed to be that bottomless cold pool, hidden in the night.

This smile is even more breathtakingly beautiful.

The little eunuch who was carrying a wooden bucket to put out the fire saw him lost his mind and subconsciously bowed slightly to him.

Another older eunuch slapped the young eunuch on the head and shouted: "If you delay fighting the fire, be careful with your head."

The little eunuch Xu was new here, so he was quite courageous, sticking out his tongue.

"Master, so the abandoned prince was born so good-looking?"

With a sullen face, the elder eunuch reached out and touched the young eunuch's forehead.

"How did I teach you that talking less and doing more is the way to survive in the palace. Misfortune comes from the mouth. If you can't control this mouth, you don't know how to die in this palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones." !"

The north wind blows snow particles and hits the glazed tiles with a crisp sound.

The fire gradually went down.

Everyone withdrew like a tide, as if there was a wild beast in the east palace, leaving only a scorched side hall with a little white smoke hidden in the dark night.

After the vermilion palace door creaked shut, the world seemed to be quiet as well.

Only the sound of falling snow.

In the past, he was an incomparably noble prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was well-clothed and well-fed, and all people worshiped him.

This East Palace is also the busiest place in the entire capital, who wouldn't want to come in and take a walk?

Time has changed.

Donggong is still Donggong, and he is still the prince.

It's just a "waste" prince.

The prosperous scene of the past is still in front of his eyes. He doesn't want to be left alone in this huge East Palace, living like a lonely ghost.

Even the eunuchs and maids waiting at the end made a detour when they saw her from afar, for fear of being infected with the bad luck of the Eastern Palace.

Xie Chengan folded his hands around his lips and coughed a few times, the strong smell of iron filled his mouth, he lowered his hand silently, deliberately not to look at the little scarlet on the tiger's mouth.

"Prince Xie Cheng'an's conduct is unprovoked, he acts against the law, disregards the friendship between the monarch and his subjects, father and son, deprives the title of crown prince, demotes him to a commoner, lives in seclusion in the East Palace, and must die."

The words of his father, Emperor Qianyuan, are still ringing in his ears.

Xie Chengan folded his clothes and lay down, having constant nightmares all night.

……

The new wind was majestic, and heavy snow fell for three whole days, wrapping the entire imperial palace into a world of ice and snow.

A red plum tree in the corner was in full bloom, and the faint fragrance of plum came from the cold wind and snow.

"Our family tells you that being able to serve in the palace is a blessing you have cultivated in your lifetime, and others can't ask for it."

In the snow outside the gate of the House of Internal Affairs, a eunuch with a whisk in his hand and a white beard was pacing and training the new eunuch.

He raised his orchid finger and said in a sharp voice: "Walking in the palace in the future, if you want to live a long time, you should control your mouth, eyes and ears. Don't say what you shouldn't say, don't say anything. Don’t look at what you should see, don’t listen to what you shouldn’t.”

There were ten young eunuchs in this row, standing in two rows, five in a row.

Xu was new to the palace, so they all looked around curiously.

Only the tall and thin eunuch standing on the far right of the second row kept his head down the whole time, looking cute and sensible.

The old eunuch pointed at him, "You have to imitate his quiet appearance, so that you can survive in this palace for a long time."

Suddenly being named, Yu Fengbao raised his head subconsciously.

Red lips and white teeth, picturesque eyebrows and eyes, a pair of black and white pupils are full of bewilderment and astonishment, and the timid expression adds a little bit of tenderness.

Even the old eunuch, who was used to seeing beauties in the harem, couldn't help but praise, even if the concubine Duan Gui, who was crowned in the Sixth Palace, came, she would pale in comparison and lose her color.

The old eunuch shook his head.

It's a pity that such a good-looking man also entered the palace and became an eunuch. He has no children and no daughters all his life.

such a pity!

The rest of the little eunuchs all looked at Yu Fengbao, with undisguised jealousy in their eyes.

"What's the use of being good, you can earn a good future if you can follow a good master!"

"Yes, I don't believe that any master can fall in love with such a seductive servant. It would be me, with this face swaying in front of me every day, even if I don't die, I will lose a few years of my life."

"Who said no!"

Everyone discussed without hesitation.

Yu Fengbao pretended not to hear, and lowered his head and kicked the snow and ice on the ground with his toes.

He was originally from Yujia Village, Hedong, on the outskirts of Beijing. Because he has two older brothers, both of whom are over [-] years old and have not yet married. In addition, this year is a severe drought, which made the already difficult life even worse.

After several discussions between Yu's father and Yu's mother, they sent Yu Fengbao into the palace cruelly.

The purpose is to exchange dozens of taels of silver for the two elder brothers to marry and marry their daughters-in-law.

Yu Fengbao is the third child in the family. He has two elder brothers, a younger brother and two younger sisters. He happens to be stuck in the middle.

He also wanted to run away, but when he saw the hungry younger brother and younger sister with sallow and muscular faces, and the white-headed father and mother, he nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, the babbling little sister pulled his patched trouser legs and asked him, "Third brother, where are you going?"

Yu Fengbao burst into tears, turned around and ran away.

"Third Brother, remember to come back and see Xiao Liu."

"Third Brother, when Xiao Wu grows up, he will earn a lot of money and redeem you!"

……

But how did they know that their third elder brother was stabbed and became a eunuch who was neither male nor female, and entered the palace again.

The one who cleaned him up was the most famous "Xiao Dao Liu" in Beijing. In order to get more money, Yu's father and mother asked Yu Fengbao to write down a contract. It's not too late.

Yu Fengbao remembered clearly that his mother said to Xiaodao Liu, "My youngest son has no other strengths, but this face is outstanding, and his temper is not very troublesome. If he enters the palace, he will definitely make a fortune. I owe you money. Just let go of 120 hearts."

He still remembers the back view of his parents when they left with a smile on their faces.

He stayed alone in the dark, sweltering room for a whole month before seeing the sun outside again. Yu Fengbao felt that something was missing from his body, and he seemed to be lighter.

There were several other people who went to cleanse with him, but he never saw them again.

Later he entered the palace.

After simply learning the etiquette in the palace, today is the time to sort out where to go.

There is no one who doesn't want to go to a high place. Everyone else gave Cheng Gonggong money, but Yu Fengbao had nothing. He waited quietly until the end, and walked up to Cheng Gonggong after the others left, and asked in a low voice. road.

"Eunuch, where can I serve you?"

Eunuch Cheng shook the money in his hand, and said with a smile: "Oh, look at me, my old eyesight, I missed one. How about it, there is still a waiter in the East Palace, so you can go there."

Yu Fengbao thanked him with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

"Hmph, shameless old thing."

He Yuanqing made a face at Eunuch Cheng's back, and hooked Yu Fengbao's shoulder instead.

"What else do you thank him for? Do you know where the East Palace is?"

Among the group of eunuchs who entered the palace together, only He Yuanqing was the closest to him. He blinked and asked, "Isn't the East Palace the place where the crown prince lives?"

He Yuanqing reached out and tapped his forehead.

"It's just that you still want to hang out in the imperial palace, and you don't want to inquire about how the current Eastern Palace is different from the previous Eastern Palace..."

He looked around vigilantly, and whispered in Yu Fengbao's ear.

"This year, the emperor is frequently sick. The people in the Qin Tianjian said that someone secretly practiced witchcraft, which is why the emperor's dragon body has been in trouble. The emperor was furious and ordered the forbidden army to search the palace. Guess what happened later?"

Yu Fengbao shook his head with purity in his beautiful eyes.

He Yuanqing sighed helplessly, and continued: "Afterwards, various voodoo utensils were found in the East Palace, either made of cloth or made of wood, with the emperor's birth date written on them. The emperor was furious and sent The crown prince is abolished, and he is confined in the East Palace, and he even said that he must die."

Yu Fengbao lowered his eyes and let out a soft "oh".

It turns out that just like him, they are all poor wretches that no one wants.

He Yuanqing opened his eyes wide, and looked at him incredulously, "Do you know that if you go to the Eastern Palace, you will never be able to get ahead in this life, and, and..."

Seeing that his round eyes were full of panic, Yu Fengbao asked subconsciously.

"And what?"

He Yuanqing said mysteriously: "Besides, I also heard that after the crown prince was deposed, his temperament changed drastically, and he liked to bite people the most. I also heard that a eunuch who went in to serve was actually bitten to death. There is no good land, and now people in the palace walk around the East Palace when they see it, no one dares to approach it, and everyone in the palace is spreading rumors that the deposed prince has gone crazy."

Hearing this, Yu Fengbao lowered his head again and let out an "oh".

As if the person who is about to go deep into the tiger's den is not him, but someone else.

He Yuanqing looked at him like a monster, "Yu Fengbao, you don't have any fucking tendency to be abused, do you?"

"No!"

Yu Fengbao smiled at him, revealing a row of neat and white teeth.
