Abandoned prince's favorite

Golden Palace.

The atmosphere was a little dignified.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at the civil servants who were talking and spitting all over the hall, and then at Xie Chengan who stood still and didn't refute a word, he became more and more bored.

Now he has just restored Xie Chengan's status as prince, and has not been involved in the establishment of the crown prince again, but these people jumped up impatiently, all of them showing their ugly faces, like a shrew cursing the street, there is no half point in the court solemn and solemn.

Emperor Qianyuan even had some suspicions that if it wasn't for him in the Jinluan Hall, those people would have wished to eat Xie Chengan raw.

Xie Chengan watched his heart, let those people scold him.

He didn't heave a sigh of relief until he caught a glimpse of Emperor Qianyuan on the dragon chair, whose expression turned cold.

"Shut up!"

Emperor Qianyuan yelled violently, and slapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his palm. He stood up, pointed at the ministers below and shouted: "In the past, when we talked about border wars and people's livelihood sufferings, how come you are so eloquent. Now I just restored my son's status as a prince because of his meritorious service in rescuing him, but you are making things difficult for me in every possible way, do you have any objections to my will?"

All the ministers knelt down in unison, shouting that they dare not.

Xie Chengan had expected such a result early in the morning, and only sneered in his heart.He was sure that Concubine Duan's people would definitely make trouble over this matter, so he simply added another fire, creating a pitiful scene where the wall was overthrown and everyone was pushing, isolated and helpless.

Human beings are naturally sympathetic to the weak.

Sure enough, Emperor Qianyuan became angry.

Xie Chengan hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Father is in the prime of life, those who said that they want to establish the foundation of the country should be dragged out and killed. Moreover, those who say that the personal morals of the sons and ministers are not suitable to inherit the great rule. The sons think so , this son-in-law grew up under the tutelage of his father since he was a child. His qualifications are mediocre, and he can't compare to his deceased brother in everything. Now, in front of all the ministers, this son-in-law also expresses his attitude. My son-in-law is dull, It is really not suitable to be the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the father really loves his son, he will give his son a leisurely and rich life, and his son has reached the age of opening a mansion and building teeth, so he asks his father to give him the title of prince , Send the sons and ministers to the fief, so that the hearts of the ministers will be reassured, and the court will be safe."

After finishing speaking, he kowtowed three times sincerely.

Emperor Qianyuan pursed his lips tightly, he looked at the ministers in the hall, and then at Xie Chengan who was kneeling on the ground.

He has never seen the ministers of the DPRK and China so united.

So united against his son!

This world's surname is Xie, he is the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can the majesty of the emperor be provoked by these courtiers.

He said coldly: "The matter is settled like this. Whoever dares to mention a word in the future will be pulled out and beheaded immediately!"

The cold voice echoed over the Golden Luan Hall.

All the ministers were silent.

After coming down to court, Xie Chengan was invited to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Qianyuan held the tea lid and skimmed the froth in the teacup, "What you said just now is the truth?"

"My son can swear to the sky, if there is even half a lie, I will let my son not..."

Xie Chengan raised his fingers and began to swear, but was interrupted before he finished speaking. Emperor Qianyuan squinted at him, "Do you really have no idea about the prince?"

"My son is as stupid as an ox, and my father knows this. It's just that I have been the crown prince for a few days as the second son, and now I have been imprisoned in the East Palace for a year. My son has also figured it out, thought it through clearly , The crown prince is related to the century-old state of the Zhou Dynasty, and I don’t have the guts, and I also know that I can’t bear such a heavy burden. I just want to be an idle and rich prince, and I ask my father to help me.”

Xie Chengan kowtowed again.

Emperor Qianyuan was silent.

He vaguely remembered the words "stupid as a cow" when he scolded Xie Chengan back then, when he was taking an exam on his essay, Xie Chengan didn't recite it, so he just scolded him as stupid as a pig when he got angry.

It sounds like it sounds different now.

Emperor Qianyuan took a sip of tea.

"No matter what, you are my son. You are said to be hardworking. Although you are not talented enough, you can still be considered hardworking. Compared with your younger brothers, you are better."

Xie Chengan said in his heart: People compare themselves to others, and they are maddened to death.

He had been forced to compare himself to his dead brother for years, and now it was time for his restless brothers to feel the same way.It's also good to let them know that the position of crown prince is not so easy to be, let alone anyone can be it.

And for so many years, this seems to be the first time Father has praised him.

……

With the lessons learned from the previous incidents, Yu Fengbao's life in the East Palace will be much easier. The people in the palace will all salute and say hello when they see him, and some even start to curry favor with him.

Yu Fengbao couldn't stand it anymore, so he shirked and went to the kitchen to help prepare Xie Chengan's breakfast.

Today is Xie Chengan's first day in court after a year. Although he doesn't know what it looks like above the court, but just looking at the affairs in the palace, he also knows that it will be exhausting to deal with the affairs of the previous court Moreover, since Xie Chengan has such thoughts, the road ahead will definitely not be easy.

He can't help with other things, the only thing he can do is to take care of his daily necessities.

"Eunuch Yu is really considerate of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. No wonder Your Highness treats you differently. You don't allow others to intervene in the matter of serving you closely, and you have given Eunuch such great dignity. This servant looks at the entire East Palace. Your Highness, you are the most prestigious, even Aunt Anxiu and Eunuch Wei have to listen to you."

The new eunuch in the kitchen, only fifteen or sixteen years old, loves to joke the most, and looks at Yu Fengbao with envy.

"It's not allowed to say that in the future."

Yu Fengbao reprimanded, "Speak less and do more is the way to survive in the palace."

The little eunuch stuck out his tongue, and went out to do other things.

Suddenly a black shadow jumped down from the beam, picked up the fried small yellow croaker from the side dish, and rushed out of the window, the movement was so fast that when Yu Fengbao reacted, he saw only a black curly tail disappearing into the flowers.

There are many wild cats in the palace, maybe they smell fishy smell, so they come to find them and eat them secretly, which is not unusual.

When Xie Chengan came back, he had a rare and pleasant expression on his face. Although it was not obvious, Yu Fengbao could still feel it. When he was waiting for him to clean his hands and change his clothes, he asked, "Your Highness, you seem to be very happy today?"

"Everything is under Bengong's control, so Bengong is naturally happy."

Xie Chengan stretched out his hand and pulled Yu Fengbao into his arms, hugged him for a long time, then rubbed against his shoulder, finally felt that it was not enough, and kissed him several times on his lips, which made Yu Fengbao flushed and winced run away.

Yu Fengbao went all the way to the kitchen, ready to bring breakfast over.

As soon as he got out of the kitchen, he saw a few young eunuchs standing around in the corner, holding a long bamboo pole in their hands, wondering what they were digging for?

"What are you doing there?"

Yu Fengbao asked a question.

The little eunuch who spoke to him first ran over, "It's nothing, just found a dead cat in the cracks of the courtyard wall, we wanted to take it out and bury it, now that the weather is hot, if the body rots , the smell is not good, and it will breed mosquitoes..."

Yu Fengbao responded, carried the tray and continued to walk forward, and asked as if thinking of something after walking a few steps.

"What color is that cat?"

The little eunuch replied blankly, "It's black, the whole body is black, not even a speck of color!"

At this moment, another voice came from the corner.

"Huh? The cat still has half a piece of fried fish in its mouth. It seems that this black cat has become a human being, and even knows the truth that even if it dies, it must be a stuffed ghost."

"Oh, it really is..."

"Huh? Why does this fried fish look familiar to me?"

The chattering voices seem to be in my ears, but they seem to be far away.

Yu Fengbao was stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He looked at the food on the tray and felt a wave of fear in his heart.

If Xie Chengan eats this meal...

As soon as his hand softened, the tray fell down.

After a crisp sound of "Kang Dang", a little eunuch rushed over and asked, "Eunuch Yu, are you okay? Are you burning?"

Yu Fengbao shook his head.

"It's okay, I just ruined His Highness's breakfast, and I have to make a new one now."

The little eunuch looked in the direction of the main hall with some fear.

Yu Fengbao comforted: "It's okay, I'll take care of everything, so I won't implicate you."

The little eunuch gave him a grateful look, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

With lingering fear in his heart, Yu Fengbao ordered a bowl of noodles with chicken soup, and brought them back to the house.

"Why did it take so long?"

Xie Cheng'an was a little hungry, so he was about to eat the noodles.

Yu Fengbao hurriedly took out the silver needle, and said with a smile: "In the future, we should test the food and tea before taking them in. Now that there are too many people, it is inevitable that our thoughts are mixed. It's not like before when there were only two of us in the whole palace, so we should be careful." superior."

Xie Cheng looked at him steadily.

"Bao'er, what's the matter with you today?"

Yu Fengbao managed to force a smile, "No...it's okay."

Xie Chengan stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms. Yu Fengbao sat on his lap, felt his breath, then put his arms around his neck, and buried his face in his shoulders.

"Boa?"

Yu Fengbao's eyes were a little sour, and his nose was also a little sore.

He first entered the palace just to beg for a meal. He never thought that he would enter the cold palace and meet Xie Chengan, let alone that Xie Chengan would treat him so kindly, take him into his heart and hold him in his hands. The warmth that I have never felt in the first half of my life.

Now that I have felt the warmth, I no longer want to go into the cold and cold.

He had to protect this hard-won warmth.

Just like Xie Chengan has been protecting him.

He also had to protect Xie Chengan.

He tilted his head and kissed Xie Chengan's earlobe, then kissed Xie Chengan's lips.

When Yu Fengbao rarely took the initiative, although Xie Chengan was hungry, he preferred to taste the sweetness in Yu Fengbao's mouth.

After a long time, the two reluctantly parted.

Yu Fengbao blushed and said: "It wasn't a big deal, but I accidentally knocked over the tray, so I had to prepare a new breakfast for you, which delayed some time. It's just a rush, and I don't know if you might Are you used to eating?"

"As long as it is made by Bao'er, I will love it."

Xie Chengan was in a good mood, and his appetite was naturally surprisingly good.

……

In the afternoon, Xie Chengan was called to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Because of what happened in the morning, Yu Fengbao is still in a state of anxiety. He sits under the window and looks at the palace people coming and going outside. The palace people are used to shrugging their shoulders. He can't tell which of these people are good and which are It is harboring evil intentions.

This seat was Xie Chengan's favorite place to sit in the past.

He vaguely remembered the first time they met, Xie Chengan was also sitting here at that time, holding a book and wearing white clothes, which formed a stark contrast with the dilapidated surroundings.

At that time, Xie Chengan adorned the dilapidated house like the bright and cold moonlight, like flowers blooming in the mud.

Yu Fengbao's hands slowly clenched into fists, and he shouted into the darkness: "Cheng Peng!"

Cheng Peng agreed.

"Cheng Weiwei, I want to go somewhere."

Yu Fengbao said firmly.

Cheng Peng knew that his master treated Yu Fengbao differently, so he hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Yu, where do you want to go?"

"Department of Punishment!"

Yu Fengbao looked at him fixedly.

Cheng Peng was stunned for a moment, "If His Highness knows..."

"Don't tell him, otherwise..."

Yu Fengbao replied decisively, "Otherwise, I will let His Highness Ninth Prince pester you every day."

Cheng Peng was a little embarrassed, but he agreed in the end.

Standing outside the gate of the Punishment Division again, Yu Fengbao felt as if he had passed away.

Last time, the people around Concubine Duan brought him in. At that time, he was so scared that his legs went limp and he vomited so badly, it was useless to the extreme.

But this time, he went in willingly.

Yu Fengbao didn't stop, but walked inside step by step.

Cheng Peng wanted to follow, but Yu Fengbao refused.

He just said that he was afraid that it would scare him in a while.

Cheng Peng secretly thought in his heart that he came out of the pile of dead people, could there be anything in the world that could scare him?

Little did they know that what Yu Fengbao said was scary, not something else.

Instead, he vomited again.

As soon as he got inside, Yu Fengbao started to vomit, and then he even vomited up the acid water.

There was a cold wind all around, even in the late spring and early summer, it was still as cold as winter inside, and countless screams echoed over the Punishment Division.

"Grandpa Yu, this place is dirty, why don't we go out, and there is nothing to see here except for the palace servants who made mistakes..."

The eunuch who accompanied him glanced at Yu Fengbao who was standing against the wall, and tried to persuade him repeatedly.

Yu Fengbao waved his hands and forced himself to gather himself.

Everything in the stomach that should be vomited has been vomited.

He smiled at the eunuch who led the way, "I made my father-in-law laugh, let's go to the severe punishment area, and please tell me, father-in-law, what exactly are the 72 punishments in the Punishment Division?"

The eunuch took the money, but he couldn't do anything.

The severe punishment area is where some palace officials who have committed serious mistakes are locked up. Normally, they would not go in, because it is too bloody inside, but anyone who enters the Punishment Department, no matter how hard-spoken they are, they will not be able to resist. of.

Yu Fengbao walked in with the eunuch.

The smell of blood is getting stronger.

"Fresh..."

"Cooking..."

"Ling Chi..."

……

The eunuch's explanation was detailed, and Yu Fengbao listened carefully. Most of those who were severely punished were only breathless, covered in blood, and could only vaguely see the outline of a person.

Yu Fengbao stayed in the Punishment Department for a long time until sunset.

Cheng Peng watched Yu Fengbao walk out of the Punishment Department from a distance, he still walked very slowly, step by step, his face was pale, but his expression was unusually firm.

He didn't know what was different about Yu Fengbao, anyway, it just gave him a different feeling.

It was as if he had entered the Punishment Division and was a different person when he came out.

Yu Fengbao walked up to him, "Cheng Shiwei, please keep this secret for me. His Highness has come out now, everything is complicated, I don't want him to be distracted by me."

Cheng Peng nodded.

The setting sun melted gold, dyeing the entire sky orange.

As soon as Yu Fengbao returned to the East Palace, he heard Xie Chengan asking where he went.

He opened the curtain and walked in, smiling like in the past: "There are so many people in this palace, isn't it enough for His Highness to order? Why bother to look for me as soon as you come back?"

Xie Chengan hugged him into his arms with a smile, pointed to the rewards on the table and said: "Today I presented the two peace talismans you asked for to the emperor and queen, they were very happy and rewarded me with many things. Bao'er, do you think there is something you like?"

"The emperor and the queen rewarded you, and you ask me what to do? Besides, how can I use these as a slave?"

Yu Fengbao replied with a smile.

Xie Chengan frowned and said: "Their daughter-in-law originally asked for this peace talisman, and the reward naturally belongs to Bao'er. Besides, as long as it belongs to me, it belongs to Bao'er. I and Bao'er both belong to Bao'er." Being one body, it is natural that blessings and misfortunes are shared, and life and death go hand in hand."

Yu Fengbao's face was as red as ripe fruit.

"Your Highness, I love talking nonsense more and more..."
