Chapter 14 Recalling the Past

Zhou Prison left a group of soldiers to guard the border, and placed all the rescued people in Fengzhen.

When they set off, Zuo Quan brought someone with him, saying that he was a young man who had been imprisoned in an underground compartment for seven or eight years.This young man is also a rare sober person, he still remembers that he is from Baijiu Cave, and he wants to go back with the army.

Hong Ye'er's recovery is not bad, but she will be awakened by nightmares at night, and sometimes she will be in a daze for an hour during the day, and she no longer loves to laugh like that.

Zhou Prison's arm is still not good, and he can barely lift his left arm. As before, he and Wei Xiao are still on the same horse, but Wei Xiao is the one who controls the direction.

Now the weather is considered hot, the sun is burning high, and occasionally you can see a few butterflies that have stolen a few days of life from the spring, which reminds Wei Xiao of the previous days in the upper city.

"Jiyun, do you still remember the first birthday gift you gave me?"

In the 18th year of Chongwenzhao, the emperor felt that he was incompetent and was suspected of deliberately killing the crown prince, so he voluntarily abdicated, and the new emperor ascended the throne, changing his reign name to Fengxi.

Zhou Prison entered the palace on the day Wei Xiao ascended the throne in the first year of Fengxi.

【The first year of Fengxi】

Wei Xiao sat in front of the bronze mirror, and the palace servants removed the cumbersome hair crown he wore during the enthronement ceremony for him.

He doesn't like to let others get close to him, usually he loosens his hair or tie it up behind his back, but today is the grand ceremony, so he can only let the palace servants comb his hair.

His teacher had just abdicated due to trumped-up charges, and was confined in the bedroom with no access. How could he be in the mood to be the new emperor?

The room was terribly quiet, his face was ugly, and the palace servants were cautious, the more careful they were, the more mistakes they made, a hand trembling messed up his hair and pulled his scalp with a dull pain.

He frowned and waved away the palace man's hand, and was about to reprimand, when there was a sudden noise outside, like the sound of tables, chairs, cups and plates being knocked over in the outer courtyard.

Facing the mirror, he untied his hair band, stroked his hair back casually, and was about to go out when he came to the door. He suddenly heard a child's voice. He looked back and asked the palace maid, " How old is the young Highness who is going to enter the palace?"

"Back to your majesty, you are eight years old."

Both he and the child were temporarily promoted, and he hadn't had time to get to know the young child who would be with him day and night.

"Little Highness! Little Highness, come back quickly! Little Highness, you want the head of this old slave."

"Your Highness can't enter there!"

"Isn't it all made of bricks and tiles, why can't you enter?"

The sound of footsteps outside the door was chaotic, and the old eunuch couldn't catch up with the little bastard even though he was panting heavily.

"I don't care, I want to go in!"

Wei Xiao wanted to go out to check the situation, but the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and a small meat ball came in head-on, making him stagger back a few steps, and he quickly stabilized the child's shoulders.

The child knocked on his girdle, rubbed his forehead with a frown, and looked up at him with wry eyes.

Seeing this, he opened his mouth in a daze, then changed his unreasonable look just now, cupped his fists and bowed to him, "I offended my sister."

Wei Xiao: "..."

The old eunuch who didn't dare to step in after following the door slapped his forehead, it was really fatal.

"Sheng Chun, is this the little highness who entered the palace today?"

The old eunuch immediately knelt down, "Go back to your majesty, that's right. It was the old servant who neglected his duty and failed to stop your highness, and offended your majesty. I hope you will forgive me."

Wei Xiao looked down at the dazed little kid, "What did you call me?"

"Sister." Zhou Prison blinked his eyes and laughed out his little canine teeth.

The old eunuch corrected him timidly, "Your Highness, that is Your Majesty."

Wei Xiao bent down to be at the same level as Zhou Yu, "Isn't Zhou Yu, look again, is this king your sister?"

Zhou Prison tilted his head in thought, and when he got close to this face, he realized that it was clearly the outline of a resolute man.He stretched out his little hand to pinch Wei Xiao's face, seeing Wei Xiao staring blankly for a moment, he replied very confidently, "She's so cute, she's clearly my sister."

Wei Xiao straightened up, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "My dear Highness, can't you hear that this king is a man?"

"What about men? The beautiful one is my sister!"

The old eunuch's face turned green, his forehead was dripping with sweat, and he lowered his head in panic.

"It's okay." Wei Xiao waved his hand to let the palace servants and the old eunuch go down.

Zhou Prison's nonsense words caught Wei Xiao's favor. He is also a master who is not under control. If he guides him, he may be able to compete with those pedantic ministers in the future.

The palace man did not retreat, but bowed down.Saluted, "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng ordered the servants to serve you personally in the future. Mr. Zheng said that you have already—"

"Then you should go and tie Mrs. Zheng's hair." Wei Xiao interrupted her. At this stage, he was powerless to contend with Zheng Mao, but he would not allow Zheng Mao to be so presumptuous and blatantly put eyeliner under his nose.

The palace servant hurriedly knelt down, "I don't dare."

"If you have the guts to challenge Mr. Zheng to me, why don't you dare?" Wei Xiao stepped on the palace man's back, and the palace man's forehead hit the ground, "Get off."

The palace servants trembled, rolling and crawling back down, but Zhou Prison was not afraid, he tapped the back of Wei Xiao's hand, "Why is sister so fierce?"

"She made a mistake, shouldn't she be fierce?"

"Just tell her what she did wrong, and see if she corrects it. If she doesn't correct it next time, she will be punished directly." Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to hold Wei Xiao's hand, rubbing his thumb on the back of his hand, "The murderer wants to get angry, get angry It is to become ugly, if my sister becomes ugly, I have failed God's intentions, and the gods will not be happy to see it."

Wei Xiao was helplessly called by a series of elder sisters. Today, the etiquette in the hall was complicated, and he was tired. He took out his hand and sat down to rest, "I am not an older sister. If you want to call me elder brother, elder brother, if you don't, you can call according to the etiquette." My teacher, from today onwards, I will be responsible for educating you and becoming the next generation of kings."

Zhou Prison stood where he was, feeling a little uncomfortable looking at Kong Luoluo's palms.He couldn't remember at what age his parents left and stayed in the academy until he was eight.The academy is outside the palace, and he still has the opportunity to play with his playmates, but once he enters the palace, he can't go out easily.The old gentleman who taught him before also said that after he was sent to Wang's side, the homework became more difficult and stricter, and he didn't want to enter the palace even more.

He came here this morning and watched the enthronement ceremony without moving. The sun was so bright that he couldn't see the king's face clearly at all, but felt that the voice was extremely cold and hard. Being his teacher must be more annoying than the old man.

After the ceremony, he was placed in a palace prepared for him. He had no playmates and no popularity. He couldn't bear it anymore, so he sneaked out and deliberately made trouble, hoping that the king would send him back.

But he doesn't think so anymore now, Wang Mingming is gentle and lovely, and he will definitely not be annoying like the old man. He really wants to get close to this "sister", but he doesn't want to be a king.

He walked up to Wei Xiao, and put that hand back into his own, "Sister, uh... Teacher, I don't want to be a king."

Wei Xiao glanced at him, "I can't tolerate whether you want it or not, this is the rule."

"The rules are wrong! How can I be a king? The old gentleman said that I have learned etiquette and rules since I was a child, but this year I haven't achieved any results. I am not a malleable talent." When the old gentleman was mentioned, Zhou Prison was not convinced. He didn't like these rules and etiquette, which were rigid and false, so he deliberately didn't study hard.

But the old man insisted on this point, thinking that his understanding was poor, saying that he was not as good as the kings of the past. Although he didn't want to be a king, he didn't want to be told that he was bad.

"Why stick to those empty etiquettes? If you can't learn it, you can't learn it. When you become king, who can care about you?" Wei Xiao pinched Zhou Prison's face, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. Being soaked by those old things, being able to say that the rules are wrong, how can you not be a malleable talent, "If you think the rules are wrong, you will be a king, and if you are a king, you change them all .”

Zhou Prison stared wide-eyed and stared blankly, that old gentleman was deceitful, where it was more difficult and stricter, he was not allowed to learn the rules, and asked him to change, moreover, he did not say that his ideas were outrageous.

"Besides, I think you're smart." Wei Xiao smiled and nodded Zhou Prison's nose, thinking that there is only a little benefit in focusing on blood, and he must have a good-looking appearance.

Zhou Prison pursed his lips, but still couldn't hold back his smile. The old teacher always disliked him and never praised him.This is the first time he has been praised, how can he be unhappy?
