Tanghua old story

Wei Xichen opened his eyes, and Qi Tang was sitting on the edge of the bed, with red eye circles and a few crystal clear teardrops hanging on his cheeks, staring blankly at the wound on Wei Xichen's shoulder.

"Wei Qing, does it hurt?" Seeing Wei Xichen's eyes open, Qi Tang asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt." Wei Yuchen helplessly stretched out a hand, gently wiped away the tears from Qi Tang's face, and said, "How old is your majesty, he is 25 this year, and he cries every now and then, so he doesn't look like an emperor." .”

"Why did Wei Qing stand in front of me?"

"It's not because His Majesty's swordsmanship is too bad." Wei Weichen was merciless.

"No!" Qi Tang hurriedly distinguished, "My swordsmanship is considered good among my brothers."

"Well, it seems that the royal family's martial arts are nothing more than this." Seeing that Qi Tang was still arguing, Wei Xichen stopped again, "At least sleep for a while, Your Majesty, or it will be dawn."

Qi Tang obediently climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Wei Weichen.

"Wei Qing, I remembered 13 years ago," Qi Tang murmured, "You saved my life in the heavy rain 13 years ago, and you saved my life again in the night rain 13 years later."

"Wei Qing, you have saved me twice..."

"Sleep, Your Majesty."

Qi Tang moved his body in the direction of Wei Weichen, Wei Weichen felt the warm body temperature of the people around him, and returned to those nights 13 years ago in a trance.

Thirteen years ago, in the 13th year of Zhaoqi, the army of the State of Qi went north to crusade against the Yan people.Emperor Zhaoqi brought his two young princes to the imperial conquest.An accident occurred on the way, causing chaos in the army, and the young second prince Qi Tang disappeared in the chaos.

Thirteen years ago, while drifting in the heavy rain, Qi Tang couldn't support his heavy body, and threw himself into the mud. In a trance, he saw a figure passing by. Qi Tang exhausted his last strength and grabbed the man tightly. ankle, struggling and said:

"Help me..." This was the first sentence Qi Tang said to Wei Xichen.

Thirteen years ago, it was raining heavily and there were no pedestrians on the street.Wei Weichen was walking alone in the alley, and saw a person lying down in the rain, he didn't care about it, and continued walking as if he couldn't see it, and when he was about to pass the body, a cold hand firmly held his ankle.

"Help me..." This was the first time Wei Weichen heard Qi Tang's voice.

When Qi Tang regained consciousness again, he found that it was evening, he was lying in a blanket, changed into dry but tattered clothes, and what he saw was a dilapidated house, he blinked suspiciously.

"You're awake." Sitting beside the bed, Wei Xichen's cold voice reached Qi Tang's ears.

"Hmm..." Qi Tang struggled to sit up.

"This is my house," Wei Weichen said expressionlessly, "You fainted on the road, and I picked you up."

"This……"

"my clothes."

"you……"

"Wei Chenchen."

Qi Tang was quite depressed, he hadn't said his words yet, seeing this stern young man named Wei Weichen, he answered directly, can he still speak properly.

"I……"

"There is porridge."

Can't even say "I'm hungry"!Qi Tang was indignant.

Qi Tang took the porridge that Wei Yuchen handed over, and after taking a sip, he couldn't help coughing violently. What kind of food is really bad, far worse than the meals in the palace.

Wei Weichen looked at Qi Tang expressionlessly, and Qi Tang also looked at Wei Weichen in disbelief.

Qi Tang said: "Do you usually eat this?"

Wei Weichen nodded.

Qi Tang was full of sympathy immediately, and said sincerely: "You should try the porridge from the palace, it's much better than the porridge you make."

"In the palace?"

"Ah."

"what's your name?"

"Qi Tang." Qi Tang winked at Wei Weichen.

"Who are you from the royal family?" Wei Weichen asked.

"Uh..." Qi Tang had never heard such a question in the palace, and after thinking about it, he said, "I am the Second Prince of the Holy Majesty."

"You just told me directly like this?" Although Wei Weichen judged from the youth's gorgeous clothes that the boy's background was definitely not ordinary, he didn't expect the boy from the royal family to tell him his background so bluntly and without any intention, and couldn't help being surprised. .

"Tell you what's wrong?" Then Qi Tang looked at the porridge in his hand with a sad face, and asked, "Can I only eat this?"

"Yeah." Wei Weichen nodded expressionlessly.

Qi Tang pouted and muttered, "I don't know when I will be able to return to the capital..."

"In two months at most, the army will return the same way, and you will be able to return to Beijing with the army."

Qi Tang was puzzled.

"The land of Yan is to the north. In another month or so, there will be heavy snow and the mountains will be blocked. The weather is bad and it will be difficult to attack. It is useless for the Qi army to stay longer, and they will return."

Qi Tang looked down at the porridge in his hand, and continued to mutter dissatisfiedly: "Is it going to be two months at most..."

"Alas—" But Qi Tang was really hungry, sighed, and drank the bowl of porridge in his hand with a heroic appearance.

Wei Weichen watched this scene indifferently.

"By the way, are you older than me?" Qi Tang suppressed his nausea, blinked his eyes and asked curiously. The young man named Wei Weichen in front of him was thin and tall. He had lived in the deep palace all year round and he couldn't guess Wei Weichen's age. .

"fifteen."

"You're three years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Wei, how about you call me Qi Tang?" Qi Tang smiled very cutely.

Brother Wei... Wei Weichen was slightly taken aback, he hadn't been called so affectionately for many years.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your default," Qi Tang said with a smile, "Brother Wei."

The moon rises quietly, night has come.Wei Weichen's house is really poor and dilapidated, and there is only one bed.At night, Wei Weichen found Qi Tang desperately trying to get into his arms.

"Brother Wei, aren't you cold?" Qi Tang trembled.

"Cold." The night was cold, and the quilt was indeed a little thinner.

"If it's cold, get closer, so you'll be warm." Qi Tang said while slipping into his arms.

"I'm not used to it." Wei Yuchen turned over and turned his back to Qi Tang.

Even though Wei Weichen turned his back to Qitang, Qitang kept rubbing in his direction.

The next day, Wei Weichen started his usual life, grabbed rice and threw it into the pot, added some water, and boiled.

Qi Tang was very dissatisfied: "Can you cook something delicious?"

Wei Weichen didn't respond.

"You've ruined yourself too much like this," Qi Tang added, "and you've abused me."

Wei Weichen didn't know how many days had passed like this, Wei Weichen said indifferently: "Just get used to it."

"Brother Wei..." Qi Tang stared at Wei Weichen in a daze when he heard the words, "Are you really used to it?"

"Yes." Wei Weichen replied indifferently.

"How did you get used to it?" Qi Tangdao said softly, "Brother Wei is just pretending he doesn't care."

Yeah, how can I get used to it.

One night, after Qi Tang reluctantly swallowed the food made by Wei Yichen, he asked with difficulty: "Brother Wei, is there no one else in your family who cooks?"

"No."

"Where are Brother Wei's parents? They seem to have never been seen before."

"They are already dead." Wei Weichen said indifferently.

Qi Tang was stunned, as if regretting his slip of the tongue.

Then Wei Weichen felt a pair of warm and soft hands gently covering his own.

"Brother Wei..."

"My mother and concubine said that when you don't know how to comfort a sad person, you should hold his hand, so that you can send your heart to him."

"Brother Wei, do you feel it?" Qi Tang's clear eyes seemed to sparkle, and he looked at Wei Chenchen expectantly.

"I'm not sad." Wei Yuchen tried to pull his hand out.

Qi Tang held Wei Weichen's slender hand even tighter.

"You are obviously sad, but your hands are very cold." Qi Tang said very lightly.

Wei Weichen didn't understand how the prince who grew up in a deep palace full of intrigues could be so gentle and kind.

In the end, Wei Weichen pulled his hand back with all his strength, and sighed softly, "It's getting late."

At night, Qi Tang muttered coldly as usual, and slipped into Wei Xichen's arms.

What was different from the past was that Wei Yuchen did not turn his back on Qi Tang, but sighed, and gently hugged Qi Tang's small body.

"You are so naive, what should you do in the palace when you grow up?"

In the early morning of the second day, Wei Yuchen went out to work and then returned home to find that Qi Tang, who was supposed to sleep late, was missing. It was not until evening that Qi Tang came back exhausted.

"Where have you been?" Wei Weichen frowned.

Qi Tang mysteriously took out a paper bag and put it on the table: "Brother Wei, open it and have a look."

Wei Weichen opened the paper bag suspiciously, and there were two broken plum blossom crisps inside.

"Improve the food once in a while." Qi Tang picked up a small piece of broken plum blossom cake and said with a smile, "Ah——open your mouth, Brother Wei."

Qi Tang's eyes were full of tenderness, which made Wei Xichen flustered and didn't know how to deal with it.

When Qi Tang turned over at night, he couldn't help hissing and screaming in pain.

Wei Weichen sat up and watched the young man in the dark: "Qi Tang, how did you get those two plum blossom cakes?"

"Given by the kid from the dim sum shop on the west side."

"to be frank."

……

After a while Qi Tang muttered in a low voice: "The kid from the dim sum shop said that if I give him a meal, he will give me a piece of plum blossom pastry."

"So you gave him a beating?"

"Two meals." Qi Tang said honestly.

"Why are you so stupid?"

"Brother Wei is too bitter," Qi Tang whispered, "I want Wei □□zi to taste some sweetness."

"Qi Tang..." Wei Weichen didn't know why he had such a strange feeling in his heart.

"Don't worry, brother Wei, I'm fine, I don't hurt at all." Qi Tang smiled at Wei Yuchen in the dark.

Two months passed in a flash, and Wei Weichen did not miscalculate, and the Qi army returned home in mighty form.

Qi Tang and Wei Weichen stood in the line of onlookers.

"Qi Tang, it's time to go." Wei Weichen urged.

"I don't want to, Brother Wei will be alone again after I leave..."

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

"But I will feel distressed." Qi Tang's eye circles turned red.

"Don't cry." Wei Yuchen said softly, this sentence was meant for himself.

After his parents passed away, Wei Yuchen lived alone for many years, as if he no longer knew what caring and warmth were, but when he tore off his mask of indifference, what was hidden inside was a heart that was panicked and had nowhere to escape, who had a dry heart for even the slightest tenderness. Miao Wangyu's weak heart.The appearance of Qi Tang just became Wei Xichen's lingering light and eternal tenderness in his heart.

If we say that in the heavy rain 12 years ago, it was Wei Weichen's unintentional actions that saved the dying Qi Tang, it would be better to say that it was Qi Tang who was like a little sun 12 years ago who dragged Wei Weichen out of the endless darkness.

"...Even after I'm gone, Brother Wei has to take care of himself even when he's alone, cook something delicious, remember to put an extra layer on the quilt, and..." Qi Tang was still babbling.

"Okay, let's go quickly." Wei Weichen pushed Qi Tang forward violently.

Qi Tang broke into the Qi army at once.

"Second prince? Second prince!" A general found Qi Tang and shouted in surprise, "It's the second prince!"

Wei Weichen watched Qi Tang being yelled and sent to the middle of the team to be protected, and quietly left the crowd.

Twelve years later, the eldest prince of Qi State was assassinated and died, and the second prince Qi Tang was replaced as the crown prince.After hearing the news, Wei Yuchen, who was living freely in the mountains and fields, couldn't bear to let that gentle and kind little boy face the wind and rain alone in the temple.Make policy essays, take imperial examinations, and become the champion of the new department step by step.

One year later, at the Hall of Listening to Government, Wei Weichen and Qi Tang met again. At that time, Qi Tang was a young emperor who had just ascended the throne, and Wei Weichen was a new champion who was going to meet the emperor.
