Liu Hui was depressed all day long, and he didn't know how to eat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He didn't even listen to a word of what the Master said in class. It wasn't until he got out of school in the evening that Ji Xuan, who had been well-behaved with him, said that he had specially brought him novel food outside the palace, and he lifted his spirits.

Liu Hui has always liked folk gadgets, whether it is food or play, he thinks it is more interesting than in the palace. So Ji Xuan often secretly brought him some delicious and fun food.

Liu Hui will always remember the scene at that time, when Ji Xuan mysteriously brought a steaming casserole, and said with a light smile: "Come and taste it, this is fragrant meat, which can nourish qi and blood the most, and those people outside use it to replenish their bodies in winter." ”

"What kind of animal meat is fragrant meat?" Liu Hui carefully looked at the casserole that was still bubbling and bubbling, the meat in it was stewed, and the thick oil and red sauce couldn't tell what it was, but the smell was so fragrant that people had a great appetite when they smelled it.

"Second prince, please use it! I'll tell you what it is when I'm done. Ji Xuan smiled and handed over a pair of silver chopsticks.

Ten-year-old Liu Hui is still a teenager, and he is naturally irresistible to these fresh foods. He took the silver chopstick and ate it one bite at a time, only to feel that the fragrant meat was extremely soft and tender in the mouth, and it was indeed very delicious.

Ji Xuan was also eating, but he ate slowly and elegantly.

Soon the fragrant meat in a casserole bottomed out, Liu Hui licked his oily lips, and asked with great interest: "Ji Xuan, you haven't told me yet, what is this fragrant meat? You tell me, I asked the grandmother in the palace to learn to make it for the concubine to taste, presumably she also loves to eat." ”

Liu Hui remembered that it happened to be winter at that time, and white smoke was constantly rising from the wrong golden turtle and crane Boshan furnace in the side hall, which made Ji Xuan's face also ethereal, very unreal.

In fact, after a little recollection, Liu Hui can still remember that the corners of Ji Xuan's mouth kept rising at that time, with an indescribable smirk. His thin lips lifted slightly, revealing his small white teeth, and said lightly: "Dog meat!"

Liu Hui was startled, suspecting that he had misheard, and asked in a daze, "What?"

Ji Xuan's voice was slightly raised, and he said very clearly: "Fragrant meat is dog meat! Didn't the second prince eat it?" He took out a trembling sauce-red piece of meat from the casserole, and there was a crystal clear meat skin attached to it. He shoved the piece of meat into his mouth so hard that his face was even hideous, because he chewed so hard that his face was even hideous.

Liu Hui was stunned, and his face began to turn white. He stammered, "Why, why do you suddenly remember to eat dog meat?"

Ji Xuan swallowed the piece of meat in his mouth hard, and said, "I see that you are holding it every day and are unwilling to let go, so I want to taste whether its taste is extraordinarily delicious, which will make you so happy." ”

Liu Hui stood up suddenly, and said incredulously: "You mean, the dog meat in this pot is the ...... I raised" The corners of his eyes have begun to reddened slightly, and his eyes reveal a fierce light.

"Not bad!" Ji Xuan put down the silver chopstick, took out a piece of juanpa, pressed the corners of his mouth, and teased: "I saw that you ate so happily, I thought I recognized it......."

"Ji Xuan, I'm going to kill you......" Before he could finish speaking, Liu Hui had already swung his fist over.

The two of them scuffled together, you came and went, and no one showed mercy. By the time the palace maids found out that they had been separated, both of them were already bruised and swollen and injured.

For this reason, the palace maids who took care of them were all beaten and sent to the cold palace as slaves. It's ridiculous to say that these palace maids were punished not because they didn't take good care of Liu Hui, but because of Ji Xuan.

After all, Ji Xuan is the eldest grandson of the dignified Dingbei Palace, and if nothing else, he will inherit the throne of the Dingbei King in the future. His identity does not sound as prominent as the second prince Liu Hui, but in fact, he is much more noble than Liu Hui on the inside.

The originally intimate friends fell out because of this incident, although they still listened to the same study every day, but they ignored each other. Just like this, winter goes to spring, until the day of the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month of May.

There was a big banquet in the palace, and although Liu Hui's mother and son also attended the banquet, they were ranked in the most inconspicuous position. Liu Hui drank a few glasses of fruit wine, and his head became groggy.

The bright lights are so noisy and lively, countless favored concubines surrounded by luxurious clothes and pearls surrounded the emperor, and those high-ranking princes pushed cups and changed lamps, talking and laughing.

And the concubines sitting on his side are some unfavored concubines, although they have also been carefully groomed to get the emperor's attention. It's a pity that this corner can't even shine on the palace lights, and it's dark and depressing. Even if the emperor's eyes glanced at him inadvertently, it was estimated that he could only see a few shaking black shadows.

Liu Hui sighed secretly and left the noisy banquet hall under the pretext of dizziness.

The shadows of the trees in the Imperial Garden at night were very quiet! The fragrance of the plants and trees in the garden made him very useful, and he felt that the smell of wine in his body was much lighter. From time to time, there was a sound of rushing water in Taiye Lake, and he knew that it must be the golden carp that was more than two feet long inside who came out to feed.

This golden carp is the queen mother's favorite thing, and it is usually taken care of by special palace people, except for a few concubines who have a face in front of the queen mother, there is no need for others to approach.

Liu Hui relied on the strength of the wine, and saw that there was no palace person to take care of him, so he wanted to see what this golden carp incarnated by the legendary golden dragon looked like. Who knew that he had just squatted on the edge of the pool and poked his head out, when he felt a dark wind behind him, and he was pushed into the pool hard.

Although the pool of liquid is not unfathomable, it is enough to destroy him. Liu Hui was up and down in the pool water, "Help, help......" His cries for help were all stuck in his throat. Because as soon as he opened his mouth, the cold pool water poured madly into his mouth and nose.

When his chest was almost suffocated due to suffocation, he faintly heard someone screaming: "Help, help, the second prince wanted to fish for golden carp, but accidentally fell into the liquid pool...... Liu Hui secretly smiled bitterly, he was going to die, and these people did not forget to detain a crime.

Just as he was gradually falling into a coma, it was as if he heard a loud sound of falling water, and a man swam to his side like a fish, followed by more and more sounds of falling water, and shouts sounded. It's a pity that he was already in a coma at that time and didn't know anything.

When he woke up, he had already returned to the dormitory, and only the concubine who was silently weeping was by his side.

Later, he heard that the first person to jump off the pool was Ji Xuan. It's a pity that although he can swim, he doesn't have enough strength to drag Liu Hui to the shore. In a hurry, he simply stopped holding his breath and sank to the bottom of the pool with Liu Hui.

Ji Xuan's hand is really tricky, those who hide in the shadows and want to see Liu Hui die, have to temporarily abandon the plan and fish the two out of the Taiye pool.

Three days later, when the two met again in the study, Ji Xuan was wearing a thick Shu brocade robe and sneezed a few loud times from time to time. The tip of his nose was rubbed red by him, obviously because of the wind chill after the sunset.

Looking at his pitiful appearance, the resentment that Liu Hui had been holding in his chest for several months suddenly dissipated. He walked up to Ji Xuan, took out a piece of brocade hand-embroidered by Concubine Shu and handed it over. whispered: "Forget it, let's stop fighting, let's make peace!"

Ji Xuan took the handkerchief with his hand, woke up his nose unceremoniously, and said angrily: "When have we ever been angry?" It's just that the smug look on his face that can't be hidden, still reveals the joy in his heart.

The two former partners got back together, one of them wrote four books and five classics, one classmate wrote calligraphy and painting, and one classmate rode and archery, and the good ones were like a pair of biological brothers.

Ji Xuan never concealed his cunning, insidiousness, and ruthlessness in front of Liu Hui. Liu Hui never hid his ambitions, scheming and indignation in front of Ji Xuan. The two of them both sympathized with each other and supported each other, and no one ever mentioned the fragrant meat incident that once broke them.

It wasn't until Liu Hui was eighteen years old that he brought an innocent and delicate girl to Ji Xuan. He happily introduced to Ji Xuan: "This is Xiao Rong, my beloved!"

The scorching sunlight at noon shone directly on the window lattice, making Ji Xuan stunned for a moment. After he came back to his senses, instead of being happy for Liu Hui, his face gradually became gloomy.

As the name suggests, Xiaorong is a girl with a delicate personality and a great love of laughter. But Ji Xuan's gloomy eyes still scared her, she hid behind Liu Hui and muttered in a low voice: "Second prince, Ji Shizi doesn't like Xiaorong?"

Liu Hui hurriedly comforted: "No, Ji Xuan is my best friend, and he will definitely like the person I like." It's just that you're not familiar with each other for the first time. You two are the best people to me besides my mother, and I hope you can be friends too. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Rong plucked up the courage to give Ji Xuan Yingying a blessing and said: "Ji Shizi, since the two princes have said so, I hope that we can become friends in the future and assist the second prince to achieve a great cause." ”

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Miss Xiaorong really loves to laugh!"

Xiao Rong looked up at Ji Xuan and said puzzledly: "Could it be that Ji Shizi is unwilling to assist the second prince?" If you don't even want to help him, then the second prince is too pitiful!" she was obviously saying aggressive words, but her demeanor was extremely coquettish, and people couldn't get angry from the bottom of their hearts.

Of course, this person does not include Ji Xuan, Liu Hui knows this deeply, but he doesn't have time to block Xiao Rong's not very reliable mouth.

He had to say to Ji Xuan, who looked ugly, with a slight fluster: "Xiao Rong doesn't know about the world, she just fights for me." You see our past feelings, but don't be surprised. ”

Ji Xuan smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Rong is indeed innocent and cute, and she is noble. Even being the crown princess is more than enough, no wonder you are thrilled!" His voice was so vain, like a light feather, floating uncertainly.

At that time, Xiaorong was quite proud, and even her smile was a little sweeter. Liu Hui only cared about being happy, and didn't hear the deep meaning of Ji Xuan's words at all.

After Xiaorong left, Ji Xuan's suppressed emotions finally broke out. He looked at Liu Hui stubbornly and said coldly: "You like her so much? She does have a prominent background, and her delicate and lovely appearance is like that dazzling peony." But the peony is too eye-catching and dazzling, and it will attract everyone's attention no matter where it is. Xiaorong is not suitable for you, you can't give her the nutrients she wants, but will be dragged down by her open-mouthedness. ”

"So, do you want me to give her up? She's the only woman I've ever liked. Liu Hui suppressed his anger and roared in a low voice: "I have never met the woman I want, even if it was an encounter in a dream. Now I finally have a woman I want, and she wants me to appear. It's just that I never thought that you, as my only friend, would not only bless her, but also slander her so much. ”

Ji Xuan turned his head and looked straight at Liu Hui, his deep eyes filled with indifference. He was silent, Liu Hui also stubbornly looked out the window and refused to look back, and there was silence in the study.

Finally, Ji Xuan looked at Liu Hui's back, smiled lightly, and called: "Liu Hui!" Liu Hui didn't look back, Ji Xuan didn't care, he pulled the corners of his mouth, and said, "No matter what you think." As long as you want, I'll get it for you. ”

After speaking, he smiled lightly again and turned to leave.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Liu Hui turned his head with a complicated expression, and there was apology and firmness in his eyes. In fact, he knew that Ji Xuan was very reasonable, and Xiao Rong's personality was indeed not suitable for his current self.

But so what?

Liu Hui flicked his sleeves and looked out the window again, and the quiet in the study was restored.

After Xiao Rong appeared, the two who were intimate had another estrangement. Even Concubine Shu, who has never asked about the world, asked Liu Hui why she hadn't seen Ji Xuan for a long time.

Liu Hui mingled with Xiao Rong all day long, and he really didn't realize that Ji Xuan hadn't come to him for a long time. However, Liu Hui was not in a hurry, he knew that even if Ji Xuan was angry with himself, he would be reluctant to be angry for too long.

He has always been the one who cares about himself the most except for his mother.

But Liu Hui never expected that Ji Xuan would still vent his anger on Xiao Rong.

Half a year later, it was a cold night, and the first snow fell in the capital after the beginning of winter.

Xiaorong followed her mother back to her grandfather's house to visit relatives, but she encountered robbers in the suburbs of Beijing, which had always been peaceful. Not only was they robbed of their bags, but they were also pushed into the deep pool by Xiaorong.

When Liu Hui got the news and arrived, Xiaorong's body had already floated up from the deep pool. The scene was like a picture scroll, with flowing clouds, dead branches, snow, and cold pools....... There is also a female corpse floating quietly on the water.

The pink dress on Xiao Rong's body spread out layer upon layer on the water, like a blooming hibiscus flower.

Liu Hui was heartbroken, and after returning home, he was seriously ill for seven days and seven nights, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ji Xuan sitting on the edge of his collapse with a smile on his face.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ji Xuan, I really want to kill you!" Xiaorong is a person, not a dog, how can you kill if you want!"

"I know!" Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows indifferently and said, "Liu Hui, believe me, Xiaorong is really not suitable for you." She has been by your side for half a year, and because she has no mouth to cover, how much trouble she has caused you. Thanks to her, the prince has already murdered you. If you really marry her, I believe that within a month, you will be the one who will be attacked by the bandits......"

"So what?" Liu Hui interrupted Ji Xuan's words coldly, he tried to support himself, and hissed and roared: "Even if you become a thorn in the prince's eye, so what? Ji Xuan, who do you think you are? Why do you influence my life.....
