It was late at night, and even the most brilliantly lit imperial city was silent at this time, except for the chirping of crickets in the grass. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Mingsi knelt on the cold ground. The futon that should have been placed under the knee has long been thoughtfully thrown aside. His knee ached like a pinprick, but his face was full of calm, and even the corners of his mouth were raised.

This is the ancestral hall of the imperial family. There are 100 white waxes lit in the entire ancestral hall, which will not be extinguished all night. Ji Mingsi knelt in the middle of the candle flame, his face flickering by the flickering candle flame. In front of him, there was a black and oppressive ranking, and the overwhelming ranking was like a gloomy face of ancestors, glaring viciously at their only remaining trace of blood. The smell of incense in this ancestral hall was too strong, and the choked young man slowed down his breathing. The prince's court robe on his body had long been taken off, and only a small white coat was left at this time. Ji Mingsi's face was pale, he bit his lip lightly, and there were faint traces of blood under his small clothes, but the stubborn young man still straightened his waist, and even faced his ancestors with a smile.

It's really a sparse and ordinary thing, Ji Mingsi said with a wry smile. Since he was made the crown prince, he has knelt here countless times. Kneeling and beating in the ancestral hall will happen almost every few days.

Bai Qian, a fool, still envies him, how can the prince be so good.

Emperor Ji Yan behind him had a gloomy face, he was wearing a purple robe, tied with a golden dragon belt around his waist, holding a rattan stick two fingers thick in his hand, and asked Ji Mingsi, "Why did you punish you?" His voice was cold, and there was not a trace of pity to be heard.

"Because I disobeyed you." Ji Ming thought.

The sticks on his back were swung down one after another, and with all his strength they were drawn on the back of the boy who had just turned sixteen. Ji Mingsi seemed to be ready, gritted his teeth, leaned forward tremblingly, and let out a muffled snort.

Ji Yan didn't change his face and hit him ten times in a row, and then asked, "Why did you punish you?"

"Because I have disobeyed Your Majesty." The little boy replied stubbornly.

Sure enough, it was another dozen ruthless hits. At this time, Ji Mingsi's small clothes had already been torn in several places, and blood was oozing from the exposed wounds. The little boy was in pain, and cold sweat fell from his head. A cold question sounded in his ears again:

"Why did you punish you?"

"Because I have disobeyed Your Majesty." Ji Mingsi licked his chapped lips and said, in fact, he wanted to say, Your Majesty, don't you feel sorry for me? Blood is thicker than water, hitting me, is it really not painful in Your Majesty's heart at all?

Sweat slid down Ji Mingsi's good-looking face, and the little boy closed his eyes, listening to the crisp sound of the stick hitting his back, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

"Hehe, you disobey me?" Ji Yan sneered, and his voice began to be a little hysterical: "Ji Mingsi, you dare to deceive me?" Do you dare to join forces with Zheng Zhilu's anti-thief to deceive me? Do you think I didn't notice you eye-ruffling in the main hall? You want to harm me, you all want to harm me! You traitors! I'm going to kill you!! Something inferior to a beast! He began to scream as he dropped his stick, a shrill sound tearing through the silent air.

"You think I don't know your little tricks! usually pretends to be cowering, and he is so ruthless in deceiving me! ”

Ji Mingsi didn't want to defend himself. He was so tired, he looked up at the ranking of the nearest "Xianwensheng eldest princess Ji Jiu'er", and suddenly felt so wronged. He tilted his head, his eyes red.

There was still the sound of crackling sticks in the background.

Ji Mingsi didn't seem to feel pain, and suddenly turned around and said softly: "Your Majesty, my mother liked the sunshine the most when she was alive, why did Your Majesty put her here?"

Ji Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Ji Mingsi to turn his head, he didn't have time to retract his strength, the stick in his hand was solid, and it was slapped the young man's forehead.

Smack. It was the sound of a bloodstained boy hitting the ground.

When he went to Beijing, Yanmei warned the little girl to be careful of strange people in Kyoto. Kyoto is no more remote than theirs, with more opportunities and dangers. If there is a loving white-bearded old man who hands her candy to eat, it must be an old man who shoots flowers.

"Abduct you and it's over!" He opened his teeth and claws at the little girl, and his eyebrows almost flew up: "Sell you to the outside of the plug, sell you to the barbarians as a daughter-in-law, and then give birth to a bunch of little fools who can't speak!" ”

Xia Calamus looked disdainful, obviously knowing that he was scaring her, after all, she was not a child anymore, and she still knew these things. The little girl secretly said in her heart: Of course, children are born little fools who can't speak, is it a little goblin who can talk when they land.

Yan Mei saw that Calamus's eyes were floating, and there was a smile on her lips, but she didn't listen to him properly, and reached out and knocked the little girl's head unexpectedly: "Little fool!" Do you remember? ”

"Remember, remember." Calamus covered her head and snorted: "Don't be a daughter-in-law to a fool, don't give a fool a little fool, I remember." ”

Yanmei always likes to knock on the little girl's head, and he is beaten all over the front, back, left and right. The little girl iris secretly slandered herself: I think I was a child who was often praised for being smart when I was a child, and I was knocked alive by him to be like this!

After listening to the little girl's words, Yanmei covered her forehead and fainted, lamenting that the little girl's thinking was strange and her brain was abnormal. Calamus was very disdainful, glanced at him, ignored him, and went to cook by herself. Today, Yanmei stopped working, and he was idle to death, and the little girl thought: I don't have time to fool around with him, if I don't cook, this family of two will probably starve to death. Thinking of this, she felt a little triumphant in her heart.

Seeing that the little girl ignored him, Yanmei stuck out her tongue and followed her, shouting to help Calamus cook.

Calamus scoffed: "As far as your old man's craftsmanship is concerned, forget it." ”

Yan Mei snorted twice: "Look down on me, don't forget, who cooked every day to feed you in the first few months." ”

"yes." Calamus sliced the potatoes into slices as she spoke, and then finely chopped them into shreds: "I don't know who it is, I treat salt as sugar every day, and sugar as salt, and I haven't guessed it right." Vegetables are not cut and thrown directly into the pot, no matter what seasonings are thrown into the pot one by one. ”

"It's not dry, it's not clean, and it's not sick if you eat it." Yanmei didn't care.

"So one time I vomited and diarrhea and went to half my life, and then it was my turn to cook. I wasn't much taller than the stove at the time. ”

"Nonsense, you were much taller than the stove at that time, and you were ten years old at that time." He measured it with his hands

"yes, yes." The little girl wrinkled her nose and said, "I was so big at that time." It is estimated that they can get married and have children. ”

Yeonmi wasn't answering, he was struggling with a cabbage. He held the whole cabbage and swiped it in the basin.

Calamus sighed: "Yanmei, we don't eat cabbage today." And, you know, you have to break off the cabbage piece by piece before you wash it.

"Oh-oh" he licked his lips and squinted at Calamus and smiled, "I didn't want to help you." Then he squatted in the corner, carefully ripped off the soft leaves of each cabbage, and threw the roots and gangs to the ground, and the calamus gasped: "Yanmei, I remember that I ate cabbage for you." ”

He turned his head blankly and pointed to the pile of white innocents on the ground: "Isn't that inedible?" ......”

That night, Yanmei blinked and made the most shameless request in the world:

"Calamus, let's sleep together tonight."

Calamus sat on the edge of the bed, smashed a pillow over it, and laughed: "You say it again." ”

Yanmei made the little girl laugh cautiously, and Zhiwu: "En.... I mean, you sleep in bed, I sleep on the ground......."

Calamus stared at him for a long time, and he looked back with a smile, so he looked innocent. The little girl sighed, thinking that he had been in a bad mood for the past few days, as if he had not woken up, so she softened his tone and allowed him. I was afraid that he would be uncomfortable sleeping on the ground, so he asked, "Why don't you sleep on the bed and I sleep on the ground?" ”

"No, no, no." He spread the mattress with a big grin, and fell down with the quilt: "That's good." ”

Seeing that he was lying comfortably, Calamus said no more, got up, blew out the candle, covered the quilt, and lay down.

Yanmei did not suffer from insomnia as the little girl imagined, and fell asleep with her head tilted.

Calamus smiled and closed her eyes as well.

In the middle of the night, in a dream.

She seemed to have turned into a white fox, and ran through the forest with a piece of milky white jade.

Behind her were men chasing her, carrying torches and sticks and shovels, screaming and roaring behind her.

She ran as hard as she could, over the layers of stones, around the stout old trees, and leaped so hard that she happened to jump into the turquoise pool.

The voices in the back are still one after another, and then they merge into one person's voice.

It was Yeonmi's voice, he said.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night!"

The iris was startled and got up all at once. She hurriedly dressed and went out, and in the moonlight, she saw a young man kneeling on one knee in the middle of the courtyard. Yan Mei stood aside, hoe in hand, teeth and claws.

Calamus took a closer look and found that this boy was the oldest of the three teenagers who came to shelter from the rain that day, and he was not smiling.

When Bai Su saw Calamus coming out, he hugged his fist at the little girl and said, "I hope that Miss Xia can go down to the Dragon Guardian Villa with me."

Calamus and Yanmei exchanged glances. Yan Mei frowned, and suddenly roared, "What do you want to do to my calamus with your big donkey face!"

When Bai Su heard the three words of the big donkey's face, he almost turned his back on it. It's just that the situation is critical, and he doesn't have time to dwell on these.

It turned out that after Ji Mingsi was beaten to the head, he fainted straight and lost his life. It just so happened that Bai Su Baiqi arrived and sent it to the Dragon Guardian Villa. Xu Zong and Jiang Wangchuan first used internal force, and then used pills, which hung his life.

Ji Mingsi had been whispering something in his coma, Bai Qi leaned into his ear, only to hear him constantly shouting "Ertwo, Ertwo......."

Bai Qianmeng, what is this twenty-two thing? Is it delicious? Or is it fun?

Xu Zong on the side was very worried, Ji Mingsi was too seriously injured, and if it went on like this, the bad luck was unknown.

The little boy opened his eyes at this time, and said a word angrily, and Bai Qi heard it very clearly this time.

"Bring summer iris and save me."
