Brother Donggong

I thought Wen Zhan would hit me, because his hand had already been raised, and I knew that I 'deserved what I deserved', especially after confronting the queen in front of my father's sickbed, which almost got into a fight. The prince Wen Zhan seems to have more reason to be angry.

I'm pretty sure I did nothing wrong, but I'm also pretty sure Wen Zhan will be angry.

Sure enough, he raised his hand in front of me.

I sighed and stretched out my neck like a docile and lovely quail.To my surprise, Wen Zhan didn't hit me, and he didn't even look like he was angry. He raised his hand and untied my hair tie, letting my already messy hair hang down.Wen Zhan's palm was warm, and his fingers were inserted into my hair, sliding down along the way.

When he came over, I kissed my forehead and said, "Go and apologize to the queen later, she didn't want to embarrass you."

I was taken aback, "Isn't that embarrassing? Your mother can kill my mother today and me tomorrow! I'm not used to her problem."

Wen Zhan didn't seem to hear me, he was just concentrating on combing my hair, as if he was comforting his cat.

I grabbed his wrist, "Wen Zhan, let's make this matter clear today. I don't care about anything else, I don't care about anything, I can even follow you without a title! But my mother's safety can't be relied on. A little mistake, or I will never end with you."

Wen Zhan suddenly embraced my head with both hands, and rubbed it vigorously like pressing a melon, which made me have a splitting headache. I yelled, and he let go.His fingers still run through my hair the way he rubs one of his own cats.

He said a little angrily, "Your head is full of paste! What kind of nonsense are you thinking about?"

I looked at him like I was looking at a cloud of fog, and he was hidden behind that dense fog.

I could see him clearly, but I couldn't see him clearly.

like a dream.

Wen Zhan calmed down and said to me, "You are also tired, go to sleep first, and wait for you to recover from it anytime....Don't go out of the palace, don't go back to the palace, go back to your Yuxi Palace to sleep first." He He pressed my shoulders and made me sit on an ebony chair, "It's not good to have your hair disheveled in the palace, let me tie your hair."

I sat there, and Wen Zhan took a tortoiseshell comb and combed my hair one by one.

My scalp is numb and numb. After tossing around all day today, I became sleepy. I nodded my head like a head-knocker.Wen Zhan's workmanship is not good, he can't tie my hair well, so I can only comb my long hair and tie it with a headband so that I don't look like a lunatic.

I said, "Hey, to your mother, I'll go to apologize tomorrow, anyway, she definitely doesn't want to see me today, and she might not be able to get up when she sees me, so she will go somewhere to settle down..."

Wen Zhan didn't seem to hear it.

I said again, "I'll go back tomorrow. I've slept well, I've had enough food, and I've gained strength. Maybe I can pretend to be modest and prudent in front of her."

This time Wen Zhan snorted from his nostrils.

"However." I was still saying, "Wen Zhan, you were here today, and you saw everything. Your mother was deliberately finding fault. If I didn't talk, maybe my mother would be chopped up by her."

He tied my hair and carefully tied the last knot.

"Wen Zhan..."

After a long while, he responded softly, "Huh?"

"Will the father die?"

"..."

He didn't answer.

My heart suddenly twitched, and then my throat and eyes were burning with pain.I don't want him to die, I don't want to lose him, and I can't lose him.Although his health has always been poor, although he has always been sick, and he was on the verge of death several times, but I never really lost him.

He is a god in my heart.

never die.

I suddenly became a little superstitious, this year is not good, my father is critically ill, Cui Bicheng was sent to prison, my uncle Cui Yan was assassinated to death, the murderer has never shown his feet, the Cui family is in danger of overthrowing the nest, the empress intends to kill my mother, The prince's mind is like a fleeting shadow, cloudy or sunny.

I naturally said to myself, "I'm a little scared,...I don't want to lose them..."

"Chengyi, don't be afraid."

Wen Zhan suddenly embraced me and patted my back with warm palms.My hands wrapped around his arm, and he hugged me like I had him.

Wen Zhan said softly, "I will not let Concubine Cui Gui die, she will live a long life, just like she hoped."

The tone of this sentence is light, as if everything is hidden.

Contempt and disdain are included.

It also includes hate.

And I looked up and saw only his smile, like the most beautiful light in spring.

……

"Chengzi, who tied this hair for you? It looks like a handful of wheat straw, chattering wildly. Everyone around you combs your hair like this? Son, mother is really sad. What kind of life do you live outside? Ah! No one loves you so much, cooks you what you like to eat, washes your clothes and mends your trousers... Hey, although Cucumber is said to have grown up with you, he is a slave after all, isn’t it? Your wife, I can't love you like a woman...Chengzi,...Chengzi,...why are you falling asleep again? Go to sleep when you're full, you're already fat like a fat pig!—"

In the Shouchun Palace in the afternoon, I sat on my mother’s imperial concubine bed just after being picked up and still sleepy. My hair was messed up, and my mother was brushing my hair with a brush full of bristles. .It seems that instead of long soft hair on my head, I have a pony tail.My hair is thin, soft, and floppy, but there are a lot of them. My mother can only make them smooth with the strength of breastfeeding.

Finally, the hair was tied carefully and the headband was knotted. My mother breathed a sigh of satisfaction and sat down on a chair beside her to drink water.

She also said, "Chengzi, the palace is no better than your mansion. You can't be so disheveled and unkempt. Also, this man's hair is the same as a woman's. It can only be spread out to the people in his own room, and carefully tied up in front of others."

I snorted, "I've never heard of such an old-fashioned thing."

My mother saw that I was so uneducated, so she didn't say anything else, she just put the bristle brush aside, clapped her hands and stood up, "The emperor is ill, there must be someone to take care of him, I have to go."

I hesitated for a while, "At this time, the crown prince probably doesn't want anyone else in front of his father. If the queen is here, you will be in trouble."

My mother looked at me, I thought she didn't understand what I meant, and added, "Mother, this is related to whether the succession of the emperor is justified, which is the top priority.

If there are other people around when the father is on his way, that 'other' will say something that the emperor doesn't want to see, such as the emperor's other intentions to depose the prince and let other princes take the throne before the sick bed, such as the emperor killing the king and killing his father. Yes, that is the great crime of genocide. "

"Our family is already unlucky enough this year, and there are still several public cases and lawsuits that are gone, so don't get confused anymore."

My mother kept her head down, like all the women in Ranzhuang, uneducated.

"Your father is sick, he cannot be without someone to take care of him."

She didn't talk much, she just went outside to pack her things, wrapped the medicinal porridge she cooked herself with a cloth, and was about to go to the imperial father's bedroom.

I can't stop her either.

However, I suddenly thought about it again, I can't go against Wen Zhan too much, he asked me to plead guilty to that mother-in-law of Queen Pei, I haven't gone now, and I guess it's unlikely to go in the future, so I'd better think of a different way to coax him For a moment, don't go against his dragon scales too much, let him deal with me to death.

Me, "Mother, don't rush away, find out my birthday jade pendant for me."

Wen Zhan asked me for this yesterday, but I said it was not in my hand. He was a little angry when I asked my mother for it before giving it to him. Today, it happened to be my mother’s side. I asked Wen Zhan for the jade pendant. He would be happier of.

My mother is packing up the towels and spices, and she wants to wipe my father's body.

Hearing what I said, she looked at me, "Why did you suddenly think of that?"

I replied, "I'm afraid that there will be a curfew in the palace recently, a waist card is required for entry and exit, and the prince will inspect the jade pendant. If I don't have that thing at hand, if I meet a guard who doesn't know how to say I am a fake prince, I will be arrested." , then I will sink to the bottom of the sea.”

My mother packed the two bundles and pointed to her altar, "The jade pendant is placed in the altar for enshrining, you take it yourself."

I looked at my mother and muttered, the boss went over to get the jade pendant unwillingly.

To say that my mother is really not very good at her head, she is a half-way monk who recites scriptures, and she doesn't know taboos, so she puts everything in the altar.

In her small Buddhist hall, not only the Bodhisattva is enshrined, but also the tablet of her mother's death.To put it bluntly, there are tablets enshrining the dead, and she put my jade pendant in it, what's the matter.

I took off the jade pendant and wiped the incense ashes on it with my sleeve, "Mother, you're almost too lazy to cramp. You don't even want to pray for me again. I'm not dead yet, so put up a longevity tablet for me. "

Perhaps this piece of jade pendant has been placed on the altar for too long, and there is a lingering smell of incense burner on it, with a strange power and chaotic breath that lingers for years, confusing people's minds.

I rubbed the jade pendant again and put it in my arms.
