"Yes. We can leave for Beijing tomorrow. Xiao Shengnian's gaze fell on the kite in Su Jie's hand.

"Oh." Su Jie nodded, he just glanced at Sun Shu and looked away.

Sun Shu's eyes widened suddenly.

A hell-like expression.

His gaze fell on Su Jie's face, and his eyelids jumped suddenly.

As if realizing his gaffe, Sun Shu immediately returned to a depressed appearance, but his attention was highly focused on Su Jie's body.

Because this momentary emotional change was too short, except for Zhou Zaiyue, no one noticed this change in Sun Shu, Sun Shu was still numb, his lips were dry, his face was a healthy wheat complexion, but his spirit seemed a little sluggish.

"Flew a kite today?" Xiao Shengnian raised his eyebrows and looked at the swallow kite held by Su Jie.

"No, just buy one, there is hardly much wind in the afternoon, I can't put it up." Su Jie shook his head with some regret.

“…… I didn't think you liked this little child's stuff. Xiao Shengnian said.

Su Jie stroked the papier-mâché kite back and forth, shook it, and replied: "I don't like it, but I didn't play it when I was a child, and now that I see it, I can't help but want to buy one." ”

"Haven't played it? Another day, the king will accompany you to put it. "Xiao Sheng liked to run when he was young, so he was also keen on releasing paper kites for a while, and once one day he broke seven paper kites, and the last one fell on his father's side.

At that time, his father was chanting poems and admiring flowers with the queen in the imperial garden, and then a kite flew over.

"Youguang likes to put paper kites?" The emperor picked up the paper kite beside him and handed it to Xiao Shengnian with a smile.

Youguang is Xiao Shengnian's word, he saw his kite fall next to his father, and saluted calmly: "See my father." See Concubine. ”

"Get up......" The emperor smiled, and he said: "The Guild in the palace will make paper kites, and Ming'er will let him go to your palace and make a few more games for you." ”

"Thank you, Father." Xiao Shengnian thanked him, but since then he has never played with a kite, and the fierce god of the Duke of Chen, where can he make a kite, it is obvious that the emperor is dissatisfied with his behavior. If he dared to release paper kites so unscrupulously again, the emperor would probably let him think about it.

"Have you ever flown a kite before?" Su Jie saw that Xiao Shengnian's expression was a little disoriented, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to pull back his thoughts.

"Excuse me, but that was a long time ago." Xiao Shengnian smiled faintly. Among the many princes, only he knows how to advance and retreat since he was a child, everyone thinks that the emperor and the queen are the most affectionate, but Xiao Shengnian knows that the emperor's favorite concubine is a woman named Jieyu, and the woman's eyebrows are full of grace, but the final end is to be beaten into the cold palace.

This Jieyu once gave Xiao Shengnian a kite, Xiao Shengnian remembered it in his heart, so he would secretly send some food to the cold palace, until one day, when Xiao Shengnian slipped into the cold palace, he found that the emperor was also there.

"I love you." When he said this, the emperor's voice was calm. Xiao Shengnian was hiding outside the door, he didn't know what the emperor's expression was, but he felt that his father's tone was no different from usual.

"The woman I love most in my life is you."

"Thank the emperor for his love." The woman's voice was also very indifferent, and she couldn't hear any special emotions.

"I don't want you to live in the cold palace for the rest of your life, with red face and white hair." The Emperor's words sounded affectionate.

The woman didn't answer, Xiao Shengnian thought, she should be moved.

But what the emperor said next made Xiao Shengnian fall into the ice cellar: "I will keep your ashes with me for a long time." ”

Xiao Shengnian covered his mouth and didn't let himself make a sound, he quickly escaped from the cold palace and hid behind a tree.

He heard his heart pounding.

That night, a fire broke out in the cold palace, and the firelight illuminated the night sky, alarming countless palace people, and also alarming Xiao Shengnian, who was still reading at night.

"Did my father do it?" Xiao Shengnian's heart was silently shocked. His Nine Emperor Brother yawned on the side: "Imperial Brother, is there a fire outside?" Would you like to check it out? ”

"Don't go. Let's sleep. Xiao Shengnian stayed awake that night, and from that day on, he behaved cowardly and incompetent in front of the emperor.

He developed a fearful and alienated affection for his father, for the fire had burned the poor woman who had been thrown into the cold palace, and this woman was the one the emperor himself said he loved the most.

Xiao Shengnian never understood his father, just as his father never understood him.

"Tomorrow morning, let's prepare to return to Beijing." Thoughts drifted back, and Xiao Shengnian hooked his lips and chuckled.
