Brother Donggong

With the beginning of summer, Chengyi seems to be lively again.

As usual, Wen Zhan still had a toothache, but no one brought him medicine.

One day, when Wen Zhan drank only a small bowl of bird's nest porridge, he took his "Zizhi Tongjian" No.70, seven volumes, Wei Jijiu, the first year of the noble minister Xia Ganlu (Bingzi), and walked slowly to Yu As soon as he entered the study room in the main palace, he saw Chengyi holding a small basket, which contained his favorite cakes - white lotus cake, crispy shrimp dumpling, apple pie, peach cake, yam cake, and carrot cake.

Cheng Yi was sitting on the crown prince's chair, eating snacks while flipping through the things the prince put on the desk, her fingers were still stained with dim sum.

The young prince was very unhappy.

very unhappy.

He doesn't like others to touch his books, and he doesn't like others to know what he is thinking and reading. This is not taught to him by others, it is also his nature.

After Chengyi licked off the dim sum crumbs on her fingers, she turned the page back.

He held his cheeks in his hands, squinted his eyes with a smile, and said to the prince, "Yesterday my mother told me a story. She said that before she entered the palace, she lived in a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and clear waters." , there is a lake, and some people are fishing on the lake. But their fishing luck is not very good, they can only eat one fish a day with hook fishing, and the whole family has to share the food. I often think, if they can catch more fish at once It would be good to have some fish, my mother said the same, she said, people in her hometown are too, so everyone only fishes when they are not too hungry, if they are really hungry, they usually go to the stream next to the lake There is a mud dam in the middle of the river, and they go to the river with sulfur and saltpeter. Do you know why?"

Cheng Yi laughed twice, "Because people are impatient when they are hungry, and if they can't catch any fish, they have to fry the fish with simple methods, and I am doing the same now!"

He grabbed the young prince, and a small bottle appeared in his hand, which contained a small ointment for toothache.

"My patience isn't good either. I said, you kid is really awkward. I've changed the formula ten times, and my cousin even bothers me. You're still afraid of the pain of the ointment and don't want to use it. Really..."

For little Cheng Yi, he has never seen such a child as the sixth brother of the prince.

He is so beautiful, carved in powder and jade, just like a jade man.

Even the fourth prince, who was favored by his father because of his good looks, couldn't compare with Wen Zhan.

For some reason, Cheng Yi always felt that the fourth prince, Qing Su, looked a little messy, like a bunch of cabbage that was not cut neatly but was chopped up to make stuffing for buns.

But Wen Zhan's appearance... How should I put it, it seems to be the most delicate, cutest, freshly baked steamed bun! !

Cheng Yi likes him very much.

But he doesn't like Wen Zhan's temperament.

How queer!

So he grabbed Wen Zhan, who was four years older than him and taller, so he squatted down, opened the lid of the small porcelain bottle, and pulled the young prince's cheek, smiling like an idiot.

Then he carefully dug out a little ointment with his fingers, parted the little prince's mouth, and carefully spread it on the little prince's gums bit by bit.

Can't tell what it feels like, Wen Zhan felt that he let this idiot brother apply ointment to his mouth with his fingers after eating snacks.

This is so weird.

And...the ointment is cool and has the sweet taste of licorice, the swelling and pain of the gums disappeared, very comfortable...

Chengyi rubbed the ointment carefully. He watched the little prince look at him with dark eyes, unable to see any emotion. He asked him depressedly, "Is it very bitter? Why do you look unhappy?"

The little prince squinted at him, and said inarticulately, "Next time, remember to wash your hands before applying the medicine for me. I don't want to have your saliva from licking the crumbs..."

boom!

Chengyi tapped the little prince's forehead with her finger and gave a shudder!

After that, the young emperor couldn't remember it. It was such a happy day, but why was it forgotten?

He only remembered that he had a little companion who was with him every day, and Chengyi applied ointment to him every day, and took out his most beloved snacks stolen from the imperial dining room to eat with him.Chengyi was afraid that his teeth would start to hurt again after eating too much sweet things, so she just stole some less sweet snacks like pumpkin pancakes and yam cakes for him to eat.

In fact, at that time, the young crown prince never told him this idiot brother that as long as he wanted to eat dim sum, the imperial dining room would definitely flatter him wholeheartedly and deliver the most exquisite, delicious and freshest dim sum, without going to the imperial dining room at all. to steal.

He didn't say it, because he thought, why the dim sum that Chengyi stole was so much better than the dim sum served by the imperial dining room?

The young emperor looked at Huang Congchang in front of him.

He poured tea in an orderly manner, sorted out the emperor's books, pens and inks, and stamped those memorials.

Chief Bingbi of the Supervisor of Rituals, the second chair of the tens of thousands of eunuchs in the inner court, under his command Tiqi Beizhen Fusi, Nanzhen Fusi, spies all over Yongjing and Kyushu in the world.

This kind of people……

If it wasn't for him to control these people too strictly, and only let them do what he wants them to do, instead of letting them out to interfere with the government, a person like Huang Zongchang, even if he said that he has the power over the world, it wouldn't matter. Too much.

But the young emperor suddenly remembered the first time he saw Huang Congchang many years ago. At that time, he was still a little radish who cried all day long.

That summer, a new batch of young eunuchs were selected in the palace. They were all children under ten years old.

For some reason, Cheng Yi picked two small radish heads out of these small radish heads.

Cucumbers and willow sprouts.

This name was given by Cheng Yi.

Cucumber is called Cucumber, because Cheng Yi saw that he likes to eat cucumbers, and Liu Ya is called Liu Ya, because his surname is Liu, and the names Cheng Yi gave him are Liu Ya, Liu Ya, and he can only choose from them. So he chose the name Liu Ya.

With two radish heads, Cheng Yi can run faster after class.

After class, he didn't even have time to say a word to the crown prince, so he wrapped his baggage and ran past the crown prince like a storm.

The prince suddenly felt very unhappy.

Later, in order to select a few people who could serve pen and ink in the supervisor of ceremonies in the future, the cabinet specially selected ten smart young eunuchs to study in Yuzheng Palace.

Cucumbers and willow sprouts are here.

These little eunuchs are not princes, they are not that delicate.They don't even need to look at their faces when they attend bachelor's degree, because not only do they not dare to be violent, they dare not complain to the emperor, even if they die in Yuzheng Palace, the cabinet and the supervisor of ceremonies will not say anything.

Therefore, once they do not write well, they will be beaten if they cannot memorize the book. It is not a handboard, but a real stick.

That time, Cucumber was beaten, and Liu Ya carried him back, which made Chengyi very angry.He immediately ran to Yuzheng Palace to settle accounts with the bachelor who was playing cucumbers, but there were several senior scholars in the cabinet. Seeing that things were not easy to deal with, they had to invite the emperor over.

Not only did the emperor not help Chengyi this time, but he even taught him a lesson, saying that he is an imposing prince who hangs out with little eunuchs all day long, it is outrageous!He scolded Chengyi all over his head and face. Wen Zhan thought Chengyi was going to cry again, but the strange thing is, this time Chengyi just knelt upright, neither saying he was wrong nor crying, the angry emperor said , if he didn't know he was wrong, he would just keep kneeling like this!

Then, Chengyi knelt for three days and three nights, no one tried to persuade him, until he knelt and passed out.

At that time, Wen Zhan knew that his idiot brother was actually not so soft and weak. Although he knew, Cheng Yi was still very fragile.

After that day, Cheng Yi, who didn't sleep until dawn and never got up, yawned every time, and was dragged by Cucumber and Liu Ya to Yuzheng Palace.Cheng Yi no longer sleeps in because he is afraid that Cucumber and Liu Ya will be angered in Yuzheng Palace.

The young prince hated them very much.

He felt offended.

That's the feeling that his most beloved book was borrowed by others, and he scribbled and scribbled at will. It's very uncomfortable!

That day, after class, Cheng Yi was carrying his furskin full of snacks and candies to run away as usual, but was stopped by two young eunuchs from the East Palace called by the prince and refused to let him go back.

The prince euphemistically said, go to the East Palace to eat snacks.

Cheng Yi is very upset.

He didn't want to eat the prince's dim sum at this time.

Because it seemed that Liu Ya and Cucumber were beaten again that day.

But the little eunuchs in the East Palace seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were more than enough strength to deal with a ten-year-old child.

Cheng Yi was dragged by them and couldn't move, and he didn't even want to eat snacks.

Wen Zhan was not angry, he said in a childish voice, "You can watch me eat."

Cheng Yi was very angry, he kicked the two little eunuchs who were pulling him, and then pointed at the prince and said, "You are so annoying, I won't talk to you anymore..."

After speaking, he ran away.

That day, the young prince didn't eat anything, although the table in front of him was covered with delicacies.

They didn't care about anyone until the end of that summer, when someone bribed the prince's companion and attempted to poison the prince. It was Cheng Yi who first noticed something was wrong. All the yelling finally attracted the guards, who beheaded the chief eunuch in charge of the East Palace who wanted to make up for the crown prince and the first prince.

At that time, Cheng Yi was also injured, but he kept holding the young prince, and kept holding him until the imperial doctor arrived, gave Wen Zhan medicine, and kept saying that the prince was fine, and that the prince was fine, so Cheng Yi let go hand, but suddenly burst into tears, "It's my fault, I won't ignore you from now on, your appearance just now scared me to death... woo woo..."

Prince is very strange.

Why, he looks more like a wounded child than he cries?

The prince is used to such things as betrayal and assassination.

In this incident, the only thing he felt depressed was that his first companion, the person who had been serving him since he was a child, was actually bought by a female cousin for 1 taels of silver. He felt incredible!

If the price for that person's betrayal is ten female cousins ​​and 10 taels of gold, then he can forgive all his sins in the world and erect a tombstone for him. Unfortunately, his vision is so short, so he will They can only be buried in random graves and eaten by wild dogs and crows.

The prince was very happy.

Because Chengyi talked to him again, and she was still a little uneasy, cautious, afraid that he would be angry or sad.

At the end of that summer, Cheng Yi came to the East Palace to play with Wen Zhan, and seeing him lying on the bed with a pale face because of poisoning was very sad, so she carried him on her back vigorously.

He looked at Wen Zhan with bright eyes, "Let me take you out to see the flowers. The flowers in the Imperial Garden are very beautiful. You will definitely like them. Don't think about those bad things anymore."

That summer, Chengyi would hug him and sit on a bench in the imperial garden, the sky was clear, the air was still scented with flowers and snacks.Chengyi's thin arms will wrap around him, making him feel a little cool and gentle.

The crown prince likes Seung-yi holding him.

but……

He was a little inexplicably afraid.

Cheng Yi's embrace is very comfortable, very gentle, but very fragile.It's like the beauty of late summer. Although the flowers are blooming like brocade and the night is like wine, the silk is gone and the coolness of autumn is over.

His embrace is not so deep, not so wide, not so close to death without regrets!

It can disappear at any time.

However, the prince still likes him to hold him.

he will say...

——Brother Yi, that pumpkin pie is delicious, give me another piece.

The young emperor looked at Huang Congchang in front of him again, but Huang Congchang was grinding ink in an orderly manner.

Wen Zhan thinks that Huang Zongchang is kept by his side because he feels that as long as he is here, that person will not leave too far, for too long.

result……

He was wrong.

There were many times when things were almost irreparable between them.

The young emperor knew that every time he said something, he didn't just say it to scare Chengyi. Those words were true. He could really kill Cui Meiren, the woman Chengyi liked, and even kill Chengyi directly. Drop Seung-yi!

He knew that he could actually do these things.

He knew it, and so did Cheng Yi.

Sometimes, Chengyi understands himself better than himself.

only……

There are some things that Cheng Yi doesn't understand, and neither does he himself.

He knew that Cheng Yi hated him, he knew it, but every time he saw Cheng Yi, every time he felt Cheng Yi's soft heart towards him, he always thought, maybe, wait one more day, Cheng Yi Will fall in love with him again, just like many years ago, Cheng Yi will come to apologize, Cheng Yi will accept him again, Cheng Yi will even fall in love with him...

Just wait one more day...

If Chengyi still refuses to give in at this time of day, he will kill him!

Get rid of your weakness forever, live alone, and then die alone amidst all kinds of prosperity.

but……

He is always soft-hearted.

He thought, as long as he waits one more day, Cheng Yi will turn around, as long as he waits one more day...

Who would have thought that it would take so many years to wait.

Chengyi, nothing in this world is eternal, I can't wait for you forever, I can only wait for you until the moment of my death.
