Covet

Su Shi is not unaware of Liu Ke holding his hand to sleep at night, but he is too young and has endured too much cruelty that he should not bear at his age. After losing his relatives, he just wants to find someone to rely on.

On the second night, Su Shi fell into a nightmare again, and Liu Ke was awakened by him again. Liu Ke thought of his stiff neck during the day, so he decided to shake Su Shi awake.

When Su Shi woke up, he found himself in a cold sweat.

"Second prince, what's the matter?" He didn't remember the dream just now.

Liu Ke said, "You're dreaming again."

Su Shi knew that he had woken him up, so he kept silent. Liu Ke saw him kneeling there by himself, so the child's heart and mind were together, and he said to Su Shi, "You call me brother Sheng."

Su Shi didn't understand what he meant. In the past, he certainly wouldn't have barked, but now it's different. He's a eunuch. When he was stabbed, even though he was young, he knew that many things had changed.

"Brother." Su Shi called.

The soft voice gave Liu Ke a sense of accomplishment. He took Su Shi's hand, pulled him up, and then pulled him towards his bed.

"You call me brother, and brother will protect you from now on." Liu Ke said triumphantly.

Su Shi stopped and said, "No, it's so rebellious."

How could he, a little eunuch, sleep with the little prince.

Liu Ke shook his head and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. When they come in tomorrow, I'll wake you up and you won't be found out."

Su Shi hesitated, that big bed was obviously much more comfortable than his own, and he was also from the son of a family, how could he like hydraulic beds, he finally agreed.

The two little kids crept onto the bed, Liu Ke put down the yellow curtain, and lay on the same pillow with Su Shi.

"Have you read the script?" Liu Ke asked.

Su Shi shook his head. His father said that those were not orthodox books, they were all harmful, and he would never touch them.

Liu Ke shook his head with his tut. For him, the story books are much better than those troublesome books of saints. What kind of knights in the rivers and lakes, love and hatred, let him, a small person, open his eyes.

"Your Highness, why do you have such a market thing?" Su Shike remembered that this book was not allowed to appear in the palace.

Liu Ke smiled "hehe" and told Su Shi the secret. It turned out that he and the prince had a good relationship. The prince was ten years older than them, and he was already old enough to leave the palace. These books were all brought by the prince.

Su Shi didn't speak, but Liu Ke said that the prince was really different from other princes, and he knew about the "people's feelings" early on.

"You really think he's treating you well," Su Shi said suddenly.

Listening to his tone, Liu Ke seemed to have returned to the days when Su Shi was still a companion student. Every time Su Shi wanted to complain to the Grand Master, he used this tone.

So he pinched Su Shi's fleshy face and said: "You can't tell my father, mother and concubine about this, otherwise... otherwise I won't want you."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Sushi suffocated and began to cry in a low voice.

Liu Ke, who was one year older than him, was at a loss for a moment. He was afraid of being heard by the maid, so he covered Su Shi's mouth: "You are not allowed to cry, I lied to you, you are rewarded by my father, how can I Maybe I don’t want you, but that’s deceitful.”

Su Shi stopped crying, but in his heart he felt that Liu Ke was the same as before, he was still a bully who only knew about him, and thus he became less alienated from him.

"Then you are not allowed to read that kind of book again!" Su Shi stopped crying, and said as he pushed Liu Ke's hand away.

Liu Ke felt aggrieved, obviously he was the prince and he was the eunuch, so why did he feel like he was being controlled, but he was afraid that if he disagreed, the kid would cry again, so he could only agree.

The two "happily" reached an agreement. From now on, wherever Liu Ke goes, Su Shi will follow. Until three years later, Su Shi no longer has nightmares, but the two are still sleeping in the same bed and playing around like buddies. , Children are forgetful, they are the easiest to be happy, and the easiest to be sad.

But this was discovered by the imperial concubine who was visiting at night, she frowned and asked the maid to take Su Shi off.

"Concubine Mu, I asked him to do this. Don't punish him. Besides, when he was studying with you, didn't you let us sleep together?" The little prince didn't understand why Concubine Mu was angry because of this.

"You are not allowed to mention the past. He is now a eunuch, and he will be a eunuch in the future. You are a prince. What does this sound like? You know what it makes you..." The imperial concubine didn't finish her sentence, Liu Ke didn't understand her Meaning, I only know that the usually gentle mother and concubine are a little ferocious.

"Call me!" The imperial concubine ordered to the maid. Liu Ke wanted to stop him, but was grabbed by the imperial concubine. He was a child, and he was no match for an adult at all.

And the younger Su Shi looked at the maid's waving hand, one slap, two slaps...

He cried out in pain, looked at Liu Ke and said, "Brother, save me..."

Liu Ke also started to cry. He is a prince, but he can't save his friend. He is really useless.

"Mother, I hate you!" Liu Ke shouted.

The imperial concubine's eyes were red for a moment, she couldn't hold back and slapped Liu Ke, Liu Ke covered her face and looked at the imperial concubine in disbelief, the imperial concubine herself was heartbroken, she let go of Liu Ke and stood up.

Su Shi was also speechless, the imperial concubine asked the maid to stop, she looked at Su Shi and said: "The Su family are all smart people, if you don't want to harm him, then stay away from him."

After talking about the imperial concubine taking people away, this night was the most bewildering night for the two little boys. Liu Ke walked over and asked concerned: "Little Shitou, are you okay?"

Su Shi looked up at him, and suddenly knelt down to kowtow to him: "The second prince is a thousand years old!"

"What are you doing?" Liu Ke asked in surprise, but Su Shi just couldn't get up.

In the end, he knocked his head on the ground and said, "Second prince, please let me work in the outer hall."

Liu Ke was even more angry, why is this man like this, he was beaten by his mother and concubine for him, and this man still wants to abandon him and play alone.

"No, why, you are my eunuch." Liu Ke said angrily.

Su Shi couldn't hold back his tears when he heard the word "eunuch", but Liu Ke couldn't see it.

"I won't get up if you don't agree." Su Shi insisted.

Liu Ke was also angry, he stomped his feet: "You kneel, I'll see how long you can kneel, my prince is going to sleep."

After speaking, Liu Ke angrily climbed onto the bed and turned his back to Su Shi, but every half an hour, Liu Ke got off the bed angrily and kicked Su Shi.

"Get out, go to the outer hall and don't come in again."

Su Shi knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Highness."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ke respectfully exited the hall. Liu Ke felt that he was wronged. His mother and concubine beat him, and his friend betrayed him, so he burst into tears. The maid heard his cry and immediately came in to coax him. Shi was also crying, obviously he was also a child, but he didn't have the right to cry wantonly.

From then on, Liu Ke didn't like Su Shi's eyes. When Su Shi repaired flower branches, he went to break off the cut flowers. Su Shi squatted and wiped the ground. Su Shi kept a humble appearance, which made Liu Ke angry and sad.

But the child's attention is the easiest to divert. After Liu Ke was able to leave the palace, he was like a pigeon released from the cage. He was exposed to new things every day. He was not interested in Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, and he liked all kinds of strange things. However, once he was hijacked and rescued by a person, Liu Ke accidentally tore off that person's human skin mask, and immediately fell in love with Yirong.

He must be pestering others to learn, so the man had no choice but to agree. They agreed on a time. The man also had an apprentice named Qian Mian, who was more talented than himself. After that, he met another hero inexplicably. He likes martial arts, so he learned martial arts from heroes. He didn't know that these coincidences were arranged by someone.

His life was colorful, and Su Shi was gradually forgotten by him.

It's just that when he returned to the palace exhausted every day, Su Shi was the first to arrive with a lantern. Liu Ke saw him, but he didn't want to talk to him. He was also a stubborn person. Su Shi lowered his eyes and looked at him. The eunuchs and maids surrounded him and left, and Su Shi went back to the residence alone.

Because he is very good at doing things, the little eunuch has also become a slightly older eunuch, and has his own independent house, which is full of books. He never forgets the family motto of the Su family. There are many, and he doesn't have the hobbies of ordinary eunuchs, so he reads every day, and only at night, he will wait here.

The longer he grew up, Su Shi saw things more clearly. He knew that the imperial concubine was not wrong, and his identity was always a stain.

But everyone is sad, and now that he is an adult, Liu Ke has ignored him for a long time, and he almost forgot when the last time the two had a good conversation.

Looking at the moonlight outside, Su Shi felt very tired. He hammered his waist, because he did too much work when he was a young eunuch, and his waist always hurt badly when the weather changed or when he was tired. He was slapped, and he couldn't hear clearly in his right ear.

It is true that the head is not white, and the person is old.Su Shi closed the window and lay down on the bed slowly, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

On the second day, before dawn, Su Shi's door was pushed open. Su Shi, who was in a light sleep, opened his eyes. It was Liu Ke. He got out of bed immediately, and when he was about to kneel down to salute, Liu Ke stopped him. .

"You don't need to kneel."

Su Shi stood uncomfortably. He was wearing a pure white undershirt. His hair was loose because of sleeping, and because it grew long, he felt gorgeous. Liu Ke was a little dazed. In a blink of an eye, he saw himself in the mirror. , found that he had also changed a lot, taller than before, because of practicing martial arts, the whole person looked very strong, unlike Su Shi, who was very thin.

"Your Majesty?" Su Shi said, and Liu Ke came back to his senses.

"I heard it was your birthday last night?" Liu Ke said, just because he accidentally heard the little eunuch say last night that their steward's birthday was last night. Several young eunuchs wondered if the gift was wrong.

"Hey, you guys!" Liu Ke couldn't stand it anymore, why the older kids in the palace started to think about this kind of thing now, and couldn't figure out who brought up this unhealthy trend, so he scolded the kids.

But when he slept on the bed at night, he tossed and turned a little bit. Su Shi was different after all. He had nothing to do with Su Shi these years. Apart from being angry, he also understood the painstaking efforts of his mother and concubine. It can be seen that if you want the two of you to be safe, you must keep a distance and not let the conversation go.

But people are affectionate, and he sees Su Shi waiting for him to come back every day. He is growing up, and he also watches Su Shi grow up little by little. This round child has gradually become a handsome adult, and he has not slept all night. He finally couldn't bear to find him.

"Yes." Su Shi answered his question, his birthday is also an ordinary day for him, there is no difference.

Liu Ke took out a jade pendant and said, "This is for you, take it."

Su Shi raised his head and took the jade pendant. The jade pendant was very delicate and had a good head.

"Thank you, Your Highness." Su Shi held the jade pendant and looked at Liu Ke deeply. His eyes made Liu Ke feel guilty, and besides his guilt, a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart, which made him dare not look directly at Su Shi. So he left directly.

Su Shi watched his back disappear into the flowers, he looked down at the jade pendant, showing his first sincere smile in these years.
