Dianxia Qingcheng

"It's colder today, and it's freezing outside. Come in, it's warmer inside."

"That's right, I was completely frozen after taking two steps. Hey, why can't the snow fall this year?"

The two jailers walked through the aisle of the cell while talking, bringing in a cold wind.

The figure hidden in the darkness moved, shivering from the wind.

Qi Changyi was unconscious for a long time before being woken up by the wind.

It's really cold.

He had a dream just now, and it was also winter in the dream.

That was five years ago. He was 11 years old, but he was only half a child. He was always bullied because he was duller than ordinary people.

At that time, Pei Zheng was ten years old, and he had already assumed his father's official position and became a young prime minister.

That winter, he saw Pei Zheng for the first time in the palace.

It was snowing heavily that day, after the early court, the emperor discussed political affairs with several court officials in the palace, and Pei Zheng was also there.

The door of the palace was suddenly pushed open, and snowflakes drifted in mixed with the wind and snow, interrupting the conversation of all the people in the room.

Everyone looked towards the door, and there was a white ball lying on the door of the hall, it seemed that it hurt from the fall, and it trembled and did not get up.

The emperor's face immediately turned down, "Yi'er, why are you so reckless, why don't you get up and go out quickly."

A few eunuchs nearby hurried over to help him, but were stopped by the emperor again.

"Don't help! Let him stand up by himself! There should be a limit to being playful. Didn't you see that I am dealing with important matters? If you dare to disturb me like this next time, don't blame me for punishing you!"

Qi Changyi obediently tried to stand up by himself. He was tricked by the third princess Qi Yirou to come to this door, and then pushed in violently. In fact, his knee was still hurting.

After finally standing up, he stepped on the snowflakes floating in on the floor, slipped and almost fell.

- A sandalwood scent drifted past, Qi Changyi did not fall to the ground again, but fell into a warm embrace.

After Pei Zheng supported his waist to stand firm, he immediately withdrew his hand.

The little man standing in front of him was wearing a white gold silk gown with a fluffy collar, snowflakes were falling on his body and hair, he was shaking, his eyes were red, like a frightened little white rabbit.

"Your majesty, the snowy road outside is slippery, why don't you send the prince back."

The emperor put a lot of value on Pei Zheng's talent, and he would definitely not refuse such a small request, and he still escorted his stupid son back.

Sighing, the emperor agreed and sent several people to follow.

"Go back and take good care of the prince, and order the imperial physician to take a look, so as not to catch a cold."

After leaving the palace, the wind and snow hit his face, and the snow on the ground was a little thick, and it creaked when he walked on it.

Pei Zheng had a cloak wrapped around his shoulders. He was tall and had long legs, walking far ahead.

Although it was the first time he saw this prince, he was able to recognize him immediately because he was so similar to the fourth prince.

But now the fourth prince has begun to emerge, he is the emperor's favorite son, even more favored than the prince, and he can't be touched by himself.

But this innocent and ignorant little rabbit can be easily squeezed in the palm of the hand, flattened and rounded.

Just as he was thinking, Pei Zheng stopped suddenly, and the little man who had been trying to follow behind him had no time to react, and bumped into his back.

"what……"

— A small exclamation, the small body was bumped and suddenly leaned back, and it seemed that it was about to hit the ground on its buttocks.

Pei Zheng stretched out his hand to grab a handful, and easily pulled him into his arms.

"You guys go down first."

The eunuchs and maids retreated in response.

Now that there was no one around to watch, Pei Zheng's hand wrapped around his waist and did not let go, but instead pulled him closer to him.

Feeling that the little man's body was shaking more violently, Pei Zheng thought it was very interesting, and leaned down to him, stroking the snowflakes off his long eyelashes.

The two are now at the entrance of the plum garden. Unlike the ice and snow outside the garden, which is all white, the red plums in the courtyard are like fire, a blood-red existence.Plum blossoms are fragile, and the petals are easy to fall off when touched, but they are tough and coquettish alone in the cold.

Looking closer, the little man's skin was white and flawless, and his red lips were delicate. Pei Zheng's fingers unconsciously pinched his delicate chin, forcing him to raise his head slightly.

With the gloom in his eyes back, Pei Zheng tried his best not to look so cold.

Under the snowy red plums, Pei Zheng showed a captivating smile.

"Your Highness, the minister's name is Pei Zheng, you have to remember."

Qi Changyi's heart was thumping so fast that it was about to jump out of his mouth. He grew up in the harem, and his father would not allow him to go out on weekdays. He had never had contact with anyone except the maids and eunuchs.

Looking into Pei Zheng's eyes, Qi Changyi nodded obediently.

"I...I know..."

The visual impact of Pei Zheng in black robes with white snow and red plums is so shocking that the villain can remember it for so many years.

Recalling these past events was too depressing, and after Qi Changyi withdrew from his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel the pain from all parts of his body.

The anger that Pei Zheng gave him could not last long, and now Qi Changyi's eyes darkened and he passed out.

I don't know how long he has been in a coma this time, Meng has a pair of cool and gentle hands gently stroking his hair.

Slowly opened his eyes, there was an unfamiliar dark bed curtain above his head, and everything on the bed was dark and a little depressing.

This is where?

Qi Changyi moved his body, the wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt so much, someone had applied medicine again, and his clothes were changed into clean, soft and warm.

The person looking at him in front of him was Pei Zheng. Seeing that he was awake, the hand stroking his hair turned to touch his cheek.

Pei Zheng hoarsely said, "Are you awake?"

This must be a dream, dreaming that he got out of that cell and even slept on Pei Zheng's bed.

Qi Changyi thought he was in a dream, so he relaxed temporarily, Ruanuo cried out in a crying tone, "Brother Pei..."

It's been a long time since he called him that. Pei Zheng's heart trembled for a moment, he helped him up and leaned on his shoulder, and patted the back of his head. "Well, I'm here. Be good and stop crying, and stop crying when you hug."

Qi Changyi seemed to have been greatly wronged, tears couldn't stop flowing, his face was buried in Pei Zheng's neck, tears flowed down his chest.

Pei Zheng was actually in a bad mood today, he left the palace after having a secret talk with the emperor, and executed the two prisoners in the secret prison as soon as he returned to the mansion.

Chengfeng reported to him that His Highness passed out again, and was still shouting "Brother Pei" all the time in a coma...

For some reason, Pei Zheng suddenly ordered someone to pick him up as if he was obsessed, and he was not sent to the small building, but sent to his own bed.

Clean up the blood-stained little man himself, and don't allow anyone to touch him. The whole process is very light and slow.

Lowering her head slightly, she kissed the little man's lips.

"Didn't you always want to go to the street? I'll take you there tomorrow, okay?"

The gate of the prime minister's mansion opened, and the cold wind rushed in, bleak and bitter.

Qi Changyi was dressed thickly, with a white fur collar added to his collar, but he could still feel a little cold, and he couldn't help shivering.

Pei Zheng pulled him into his arms, covered the little man in a warm cloak, supported his soft body with his strong arms, and walked out slowly.

No one else was allowed to accompany him, only Chengfeng followed behind him not too far away.

Pei Zheng didn't choose to take him out during the day. It was too ostentatious to show his bright little face outside. It was fine at night, and it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.

The weather is so cold, but there are still many people on the street, the shops are brightly lit, and the small stalls selling goods along the street are also flourishing.

The two walked slowly on the street. Although the air was frozen, it was clean and fresh, without the smell of blood and turbidity in the cell.

Qi Changyi seemed to have finally lifted his spirits, the few times he went out of the palace, he didn't have the chance to take a good look at the bustling imperial capital.

Those novel gadgets caught his attention, as long as his eyes stayed on them for a while, Chengfeng would come to buy them, and within a short while Chengfeng took a lot of things.

Not long after walking, Qi Changyi became a little out of breath. Although Pei Zheng was holding him halfway along the way, he was really weak.

Suddenly, there was a scent of makeup and powder into the tip of his nose, Qi Changyi raised his head to look, and the pavilion appeared in front of him was somewhat familiar, it was the small restaurant building that he had been to before, Zuichunfang.

This place didn't leave a good impression on him, Qi Changyi pulled on La Peizheng's sleeve unobtrusively, and frowned.

Pei Zheng stretched out his hand to hold that cold little hand. His own hand was always cold, like a cold-blooded animal, but now that little hand was even colder.

Pei Zheng put his little hand in his palm, but it was a pity that the temperature was not enough, so he held his little hand and stretched it into his sleeve, using the heat from his arm to warm him up.

Sensing the little man's resistance to this place, Pei Zheng hugged him and turned around to leave, but someone grabbed his arm suddenly.

"Master Pei, you haven't been here for a long time, how are you doing these days?"

The man in pink in Zuichunfang waved a fragrant scarf and looked at Pei Zheng with a charming smile, "By the way, did you find that little beauty last time? We have a few new little ones who look like milk dumplings in our building." Man, do you want Mr. Pei to come in and sit down?"

The man in pink thought he had grasped Pei Zheng's preferences, and hurriedly showed his courtesy.

Qi Changyi huddled under Pei Zheng's cloak, and when he heard this, he tightened his grip on Pei Zheng's sleeve.

Pei Zheng whispered, "Don't be afraid, I won't go."

"Mr. Pei, you have someone with you, let's go in with you. My young master is also looking for a wonderful person..."

"roll."

With a wave of Pei Zheng's arm, the man in pink was directly thrown to the ground, and fell to the ground.

He was thrown into tears directly, and he didn't know what he said to offend this old man.

Pei Zheng had already turned around and left with the people. There were people coming and going around him. The man in pink hurriedly wiped his tears and tried to get up from the ground, but the hem of his clothes was stepped on and could not be pulled out.

"I can't afford to provoke others, can't I afford to provoke him! Let's see who dares to step on my clothes!"

Chengfeng was carrying a variety of things in his hands, his black boots were motionless, and his face was expressionless.

"Tomorrow, the people who brought you will disappear in this city."

There are more and more people on the street. It seems that there is a street lamp parade tonight. Passers-by on the road are carrying or holding small and exquisite lanterns in different shapes, which are very beautiful.

Several children chased and yelled at the hawker selling candied haws, and their parents bought them and happily ran away with them.

Qi Changyi looked at those small red balls wrapped in red sugar and stuck on straw sticks, his eyes clearly wanted to eat them.

Last time, I held all the sweet and sour candied haws in my hand, but Pei Zheng angrily knocked them off and pricked his hand, which made Qi Changyi want to eat candied haws very much now, but obviously I have some psychological shadows on the bamboo stick.

Of course Pei Zheng knew what he was thinking. Even though he still felt that the candied haws were not clean and didn't want to let him eat them, he still asked Chengfeng to buy some skewers.

The thick icing was sweet and cloying at first glance. Pei Zheng took a small bite, and it tasted sour and sweet.

Pei Zheng handed the candied haws to the little man's mouth, but he didn't let him take it, but held it up for him.

Qi Changyi licked his lips, and gave Pei Zheng a long-eyed look.

Pei Zheng hooked the corners of his lips, "Eat it, I allow it."

Only then did Qi Changyi open his small mouth and bite the big one in the middle, but he couldn't bite it off no matter how much he moved left and right, so he finally had to let go of his mouth, and there was a circle of sugar coating around his lips.

Qi Changyi looked up at Pei Zheng, how did he bite off just now, it was obviously as hard as a small stone.

Pei Zheng pointed to the top one that he took a bite of, "We should start eating from the top, eat this, the core inside will be spit out..."

Before he finished speaking, Qi Changyi took half of the small red ball in one bite, swallowed it all in his mouth, licked it in his cheeks, and ate the sugar coating on the outside.

"Chew and eat, otherwise it will be very sour later."

The small cheeks moved obediently, and there was a non-stop biting sound.

Chewing and chewing, the little man suddenly stopped, tears welled up, and his mouth did not move.

"Bite the core?"

The little man nodded with tears in his eyes, his teeth were sore.

Pei Zheng put his hand to his lips, "spit."

The little cheeks moved again, squirming, and two small hawthorn cores fell into Pei Zheng's palm.

"You're so cute, do you still want to eat?"

Qi Changyi's teeth slowed down and had recovered a little. He licked his sticky lips and nodded.

Pei Zheng ate another half, and fed the rest to Qi Changyi. Before he suddenly started chewing, he gently pinched his cheeks with his fingers.

"Eat slowly, spit out the core first."

After eating four or five of them, Pei Zheng threw the candied haws to Chengfeng.

Qi Changyi's eyes kept following the candied haws thrown in the air, and Pei Zheng turned his body and stuffed it under the cloak.

"Don't eat any more, your teeth will break."

Qi Changyi had no choice but to smack his mouth, savoring the sweet and sour aftertaste.

Pei Zheng looked at the little man's pouting mouth unconsciously, with red sugar juice still hanging around him, he wrapped his arms around his waist, turned around and flashed into a dark alley.Chengfeng followed, knowingly guarding the entrance of the alley to block the light.

Being pressed against the wall, Qi Changyi pushed Pei Zheng's chest with his little hand, but Pei Zheng lifted it up and pressed it on top of his head.

"Hey, don't move, your mouth is dirty, clean it up."
