Brother Donggong

Today is Laba, and the Dazheng Palace is also very lively. According to the practice of previous years, today we should sing an opera at the Shuijingtai.The Dazheng Palace is spacious and has a large territory. After the bustle, it becomes even more deserted.

I was supported by Cucumber, and he called a little eunuch to help me. The two of them supported me and walked into a dormitory unsteadily. He was wearing a black brocade gown, with a fair face and long hair. I called out vaguely, "Father, I'm here."

However, the voice was very young, so clear that it seemed to freeze to death, "You can call someone after you see clearly."

Oh, it's the prince.

Then the prince said, "Why do you drink like this again? You've been drunk all day long, and one day you fall into the wine tank, who will catch you?"

As soon as the words fell, I felt a strong hand pass through my armpit, and the other hand was propped up at the bend of my knee. I felt my body lighten up, and someone lifted me up.

The man said, "Liu Congrong, you should go to Cui Meiren's place as soon as possible. Your father is here tonight. You should go and tell your father immediately, saying that His Royal Highness is drunk and afraid of losing his appearance before meeting Mr. Jia. Stay here, and tomorrow morning, I will go to greet my father and receive my punishment."

Someone vaguely answered yes, and then he heard footsteps leaving the palace gate.

After the alcohol came up, my whole body became hot. I was even more uncomfortable and hotter when I was hugged by someone. Lying in bed.A quilt is made of silk brocade, and it is cold all over the body. It is really comfortable to lie on it and go to grandma's house.

The voice of the prince said, "Go and make a bowl of hangover soup. Huang Zongchang, where did the king go to drink again? Does he drink like this every day?"

Cucumber's voice said, "Your Highness, the prince is not a drinker. Isn't this Laba today? Mr. Cui Bicheng invited the prince to have a drink outside. The prince was happy, so he drank a few more glasses. This is rice wine from the south. , just get some sleep."

"Cui Bicheng..."

The prince seemed to ponder for a while, and then said, "What kind of favor is he using this fool again? Although Cheng Yi is not advanced, but after all, she is a prince with a high status, and she is not someone who can be approached casually by those outside Cui Bicheng. "

Cucumber said, "Your Highness, Mr. Cui will never do such a thing. When the slaves passed by today, the prince was only accompanied by You Pingan, the treasurer of the foreign village of the Cui family, and Jiang Shouye, the accountant of the Cui family. None."

As soon as I touched the bed, I felt as if my muscles had been cramped, and my whole body was stretched over there.I felt that someone covered me with a quilt, and then pulled me up again, and let me lean on someone's chest. I felt a cup of hot water near my mouth.I opened my mouth to drink, and my throat seemed to feel better, so I lay down again.

My posture was messed up, my clothes were messed up, and my hair was completely messed up. One hand brushed aside the messy hair in front of my forehead. I seemed to instinctively put my cheek against that hand, and that hand pressed against my forehead again. , Then I tucked the quilt again, and my sleepiness came up.Only vague voices could be heard, which seemed to be coming from far away.

……

Crown Prince, "Has Cheng Yi casually accepted other people's things?"

Cucumber, "No! Your Highness, absolutely not! Today, the servant heard that someone wanted to give the prince a very expensive tea, but he was blocked by Mr. Cui. With Mr. Cui around, he would never let the prince accept gifts from outsiders." of."

Prince, "Really? This Cui Bicheng... said he stood in the way of Chengyi, but in fact, all those things went into his pocket. But since he still knows Chengyi's identity, it doesn't matter if he is spared once. Huang Zongchang, are you Those who go out of the palace, you should know that Cheng Yi is a prince, and his every move involves the court situation. His own mind is not on strategy, and there will inevitably be omissions in his thinking, and the villain will take advantage of the loopholes. You are by the king's side , You can’t pretend to be deaf and dumb, let him play around with his temper every day.”

Cucumber, "Your Highness, the great grandfather has an iron order that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics."

Prince, "I didn't ask you to take part in politics, but to make you pay more attention. It's enough to remind him appropriately....Huang Congchang, you have been in the harem for so many years, but you are the only one who has been by His Highness's side from beginning to end. It is commendable. Even I You can disdain the wealth and honor promised to you, if everyone in the world is like you, then the world will be much clearer."

Then I heard someone suddenly kneel down with a plop.

Cucumber spoke, his voice a little dry.

"Your Highness, you once promised your servant the high position of the eunuch, the supervisor of ceremonies, but the servant did not agree. This is to live up to His Highness's kindness, and he deserves death. It is not that the servant is ignorant of flattery, it is that the servant does not have the ability The king will not dislike the stupidity of slaves, and the kindness to slaves is as high as a mountain, and slaves will serve by the king's side, this life is enough."

For a long time, the prince's voice was very cold, as cold as the ice outside, piercing your hand, but very slowly, like water from a pickaxe flowing slowly under the ice.

"Really? But what I heard was not such a rhetoric. You told Chengyi that Liu Congrong's seat was sealed by the supervisor of ceremonies. You don't want to take the position of Chief Bingbi, because even if you can take that seat, I will only treat you like a slave, while Chengyi treats you like family."

be quiet

There is no sound.

It seems that dropping a needle can scare people.

After a long time, the prince's voice came, "Xiao Wang is really interesting brother. He fears his brothers like snakes and scorpions, avoids them like enemies, but treats some irrelevant people like relatives."

……

a long time.

The prince seemed a little tired, he said, "Huang Congchang, go down."

Someone let out a long breath.

Such as amnesty.

I thought I fell asleep, but I could see the shaking figure of the prince in front of me.

He put his hand on my forehead, then stroked my hair.

The prince asked me, "You're awake, aren't you?"

I couldn't speak, my whole body was groggy, the eye circles were hot, and the eyelids were as heavy as a thousand weights, and gradually, the eyelids closed.I am a very good drinker. When I am drunk, I will never make a scene, vomit, cry, or laugh. I am just sleepy, honestly like a drunk cat.

When I was half asleep, I felt that he took off my clothes, and he lifted the quilt again and lay down.

He pulled me over and let my head rest on his shoulder. The brocade tent next to him was lowered, the candles were blown out, and everything was dark and very quiet.

I can hear his heartbeat.

thump... thump...

It's true.

Not really like him.
