you are my tomorrow

The folks have always had various legends about things in the palace, and things between the royal family are always talked about by people.

The king has 5 sons, and the youngest son is 18 years old this year. Legend has it that on the day he was born, a comet passed over the palace. The astrologer said it was a good omen. Yu, nicknamed "Comet".

Since the birth of the comet, the country has really been in good weather, prosperous and prosperous, as if it really obeyed the words of the astrologer, so the king's love for the comet is more profound, even surpassing the love of other princes.

Comet has been handsome since he was a child, and his skin is fair. If you don’t distinguish him carefully, everyone who sees him will think he is a girl. For some reason, Comet has preferred red since he was sensible, because he is favored by the king. Comet's temper, he ordered the embroidery department to make Comet's clothes red from the inside to the outside. Most of the Ming and Qing Palaces where he and his mother lived were also decorated in red, and the red clothes could better set off Comet's delicacy. People always say that, so Huixing has hated people saying that he looks like a girl since he was a child, perhaps to avoid hearing such comments, he didn't like to play with other brothers since he was a child, and only got closer to his eldest brother Han Qing.

But unfortunately, when Comet was 5 years old, his mother left him due to a stubborn illness, which made him rarely leave the Ming and Qing palaces where he lived with his mother. After the mourning period, the entire layout and furnishings of the Ming and Qing palaces, and everything that could be replaced with red was replaced with red.

Comet was omnipotent in painting and calligraphy since he was a child, and he was more proficient in rhythm. As if he was born for the pipa, the pipa also seems to grow on him. As long as he plays the pipa, he will enter the realm of selflessness. The beauty of the piano sound always makes people admire this prince who prefers red clothes.

Comet’s birthday was in November in early winter. On his 11th birthday, Wang specially held a birthday party for him. However, he knew that Comet didn’t like to be lively, so he invited a few civil and military officials who were close to him, and gave them an amnesty. He brought his own children who were about the same age as Comet, and Wang wanted to pick one of them to be Comet's companion.

The birthday banquet was held in Comet’s own Ming and Qing palaces. Near noon, all the civil and military officials invited by the king arrived, and their children were also with them. At the dining table, Comet, who sat in the main seat with Wang, was not as domineering as other children. But there is always an atmosphere of repelling people thousands of miles away around him. In fact, he has been like this since he was a child.

"Among these children, is there anyone you like at the first glance?" Wang Zhi pointed to the children sitting in the lower seat. Comet glanced at him, and those children looked at him expectantly and confidently, as if they all hoped The look that could be chosen by him, but what Xixing hates the most is this expression, because he feels that there are not so many things that should be taken for granted in this world, so why should he be so confident that he will definitely get what he wants?

Just when Comet wanted to reject everyone, he suddenly found a boy who kept his head down, not daring to meet his gaze. He seemed to feel his gaze, so he lowered his head even lower.Comet did not speak, he stepped down from his seat, came to the boy, looked down at him, the boy saw him coming to his side, immediately stood up from his seat, and knelt down in fear.

"You... what's your name?" Comet looked at him with researching eyes.

"Li... Zhongyi." The boy lowered his head, his voice was muffled.

"Why do you keep your head down?"

"...I...I don't think I have any talent to be chosen by the prince."

Comet, who had always been stern, pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Father, can I let Li Zhongyi be my companion?" Comet turned around and faced Wang.

"why?"

"Because I like people like him." Comet answered dignifiedly, which surprised the father a little, because there are very few people who can make Comet feel like him.

"Okay, this king announces, General Li, let your son come into the palace the day after tomorrow, and be a companion for Comet." Wang said cheerfully, and the person called General Li immediately stood up from his seat, and the father and son He kowtowed to Comet and Wang.

"Thank you Lord Ron!"

Li Zhongyi quietly raised his head, only to see the back of a man in a red shirt. Although he is not tall, he has an aura that makes people not angry. Perhaps it is the result of looking from low to high, that tall and straight The back also looks taller.

During the banquet, all the ministers exchanged glasses, and some people came forward to toast the king.Li Zhongyi has been sitting beside Comet, not daring to take a breath, still lowering his head, and not eating much, he always feels that this fifth prince has a faint, indescribable, scent that he has never smelled before.

"Is there anything you like to eat?" Although Comet didn't feel that Li Zhongyi was observing every move at any moment, he noticed that after Li Zhongyi sat beside him, he hardly ate anything.

"No...not..." Li Zhongyi picked up his chopsticks in trepidation, picked up a mouthful of food and ate it, then put down his chopsticks again.

"Don't you like being my accompanying reader? Now there is still a chance to regret it." Comet thought that he didn't like being his accompanying reader, so he whispered in Li Zhongyi's ear, and the hot breath from his breath made Li Zhongyi's ear a little bit itch.

"Fifth... Fifth Prince, no, absolutely not!" This time Li Zhongyi answered very simply, he raised his head and looked at Comet with a little trepidation.

"Don't be afraid, I'm kidding you."

Li Zhongyi wondered if he had an illusion, he clearly saw a smile on the fifth prince's face, that smile was like a short-lived epiphyllum.

"Oh? General Zhao, why didn't you bring your two young masters?" General Zhao, who has always made great contributions to the country, stepped forward to toast Wang, but Wang did not see his two sons. His words caught Comet's attention. He turned his head and looked at the two people.

General Zhao smiled in embarrassment, "Back to the emperor, the two dogs didn't know that the fifth prince was going to celebrate his birthday, and they were arguing to go back to their hometown with their mother to visit relatives. They will come back after a while. When they come back, I will definitely let the two Come to see the fifth prince personally."

"How old are your sons?"

"The eldest son is the same age as the fifth prince, but his birthday is nine months older than the prince's, and the youngest son is one year younger than the prince."

"I met them once, and I like them very much. If it's okay, let them walk around the palace more. Children of the same age should get in touch with them more..." The queen's subsequent topic did not arouse Comet's more interest. He turned his attention to Li Zhongyi beside him.

"How old are you?"

"One year younger than you."

In the second half of the banquet in the palace, the theme of the beginning is often lost. Comet always hates the banquet that is about to end, so he was taken to the bedroom behind the banquet hall by the nanny early to prepare for bed.But he kept holding Li Zhongyi's hand, and the king gave an order to let Li Zhongyi live in the palace tonight, and told the nanny to take the two children down.

I followed Comet to the backyard of the banquet hall. Although the king and ministers had a lively chat in front of us, the backyard separated by a stone screen seemed to be another world. It was surprisingly quiet. Because of Comet’s birthday, the roof was supported Red lanterns were hung between each of the pillars, which made Comet's clothes look more red in the bright candlelight. Li Zhongyi, who was following Comet, stared blankly at Comet's handsome back, and felt that that person It's a fairy who came down from the Heavenly Palace, and her back is so beautiful.

Just when Li Zhongyi was staring blankly at Comet's back, he didn't expect Comet to stop and turn around suddenly. Li Zhongyi bumped into Comet firmly, and he quickly took a step back and lowered his head deeply.

"I'm sorry..."

But Comet didn't seem to care about what just happened, but raised his head slightly, looking at the sapphire blue night sky.

"It's snowing for the first time..." Comet gently raised his right hand, allowing more and more snowflakes to fall on his palm, which was cold and melted in an instant.

Li Zhongyi also slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. More and more snowflakes were falling from the sky and falling into his eyes. He also felt cold, but his heart was warm. It was impossible to be selected as a companion, but it changed because of Comet's sentence "Because I like people like him".

He didn't expect that this sentence would completely change his life.

The next day, Li Zhongyi was sent back to his home. After preparing some winter luggage, Li Zhongyi was sent to the palace by his father early in the morning of the third day. In the main room, he lives in a side room.Two people can live together, eat together, study together, and practice martial arts together every day.

To put it more politely, Zhongyi is the companion of Comet; to put it more generally, Zhongyi is the playmate of Comet.

When Comet practiced the pipa and flute, Zhongyi sat aside and watched. Every time he looked at Comet’s quiet appearance, he always envied how he could play the piano so well. Every time he practiced the flute, there would always be a little The bird is attracted by the sound of the flute, so every time he sees it, too, until the last note of the comet falls.

"Do you like the pipa, or the flute?" After living in the palace for three months, one evening, Comet asked Li Zhongyi who was sitting next to him after he finished practicing the pipa and handed the qin to the maid.

"As long as it is played by His Royal Highness Comet, I like it." Li Zhongyi said truthfully.

"Don't imitate other people's slick tongue, which one do you like?" Comet raised his face slightly, and Li Zhongyi slowly lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Comet's glasses.

"The little one is telling the truth, and dare not lie to His Highness."

After three months of getting to know him, Comet knew that Li Zhongyi was not the kind of child who was educated in a family and learned to flatter him since he was a child for the sake of power and status. He was even a bit stupid, but he was kind-hearted and an honest child who had heard too much flattery. Comet felt that he had chosen the right person.

"Well, for the sake of your sincerity, I will reward you with this flute. You will have to practice more in the future until I am satisfied." Comet lifted the jade flute on the table to Li Zhongyi, and Li Zhongyi was surprised I looked at the comet intently, but didn't dare to reach out to take it, "I told you to hold it, so you take it. From now on, in this world, except for your parents, you must listen to my orders. Other people's orders are yours. No one is allowed to listen, including the emperor's, understand?" Comet looked at Li Zhongyi with somewhat proud eyes, with a faint smile on his lips, and the unknown fragrance seemed to be stronger.

Li Zhongyi raised his head, and slowly met the comet's eyes, as if he understood the meaning of the comet, but he didn't seem to understand it. However, it was such a comet that he couldn't refuse no matter what.

"Yes, Your Highness, the younger one will definitely practice more and strive to satisfy His Highness." Li Zhongyi took the jade flute and respectfully responded to Comet.

Or maybe, at that time, the comet slowly sneaked into Li Zhongyi's heart, gradually becoming a deep imprint that could never be removed.
