Chapter 13: The Road Meets Chai Shao (1)
is the same as Daddy imagined, no matter what happens in Daxing City, Daddy is still An'an as his assassin, King Qin was convicted and implicated many people, and Daddy is not good. And I heard that the crown princess died, as for how she died, it seems very suspicious, the crown princess seems to have a good relationship with the queen, and when the queen is unhappy, she will definitely complain to the emperor, so isn't the prince's situation more dangerous? According to Daddy, the prince has indeed fallen out of favor.
But I'm not in the mood to be curious about these things now, because there is a great danger that is about to appear in front of meβI have only been in Qizhou for a year, and I have only been in Qizhou for less than a year, and on a warm spring day, I was told that my mother was pregnant!
Although I'm not sure if it's my fake brother Li Shimin in the belly of my mother, before he was born, every one that appeared in my mother's belly was a potential threat. So what should I do when everyone in the house is happy and I'm depressed alone? Kill him directly in the cradle? Wouldn't that be too cruel?
Hey, ever since the focus of my family was on my mother, I had become very unsociable - although I used to be very unsociable, but I chose it myself, and I couldn't talk to them, but now, it's clear that I'm alienated! I feel that every time my father asks me about my homework, I am not as careful and patient as before, and my mother only cares about the little person in her belly, and rarely looks at me at all. Damn, I was such a big threat to Lao Tzu before I was born, if I really want to give birth, then I have to do it?
So I'm not interested in knowing whether the prince has fallen out of favor at all, I only know that I myself must have fallen out of favor. To be honest, in fact, my father and mother's attitude towards me may not have changed much compared to before, but people are like this, when I am in a bad mood, I always like to think about everything in a bad way, and I am a mortal, of course, too.
One day I sat sullenly in the yard and took a nap, dreaming that I had been killed by an arrow, and I was scared into a cold sweat when it was almost summer. Is that the end of it? No, when I opened my eyes, I saw a pair of eyes staring at me on my face, damn it! I was so scared that I fell straight out of my chair.
Then I heard the laughter of "giggles", "Big brother, it's not too hot this weather, why are you sweating?" β
I was very angry when I touched my sore buttocks, and I couldn't scold people - this would damage my identity, so I had to stare at the past and find that it was the most difficult little sister in the family, Sanniang, who dared to scare me...... She is the only one who dares to do this to me, what else can I do? I'm an older brother, so I can't be angry with my sister, right? No, no, there's something wrong with this idea, but what's wrong?
"Sanniang, why are you so naughty?" I pretended to be serious, looking at her still giggling there, but I thought it was strange, I should be very angry, why can't I get angry when I see her like this? Forget it, just laugh if you like.
Sanniang finally stopped laughing and said, "Big brother, I found that you have been sullen lately, seeing that you are bored alone, so I want to make you happy, who knew that you couldn't help but be scared, I didn't mean to." She waved her hand and couldn't help laughing, and as I listened to her childish voice, I felt like I didn't know what had melted away. Damn, Lao Tzu wants to cry or was cut off last time, what's wrong?
I stood up and sat down in my chair again, and said, "Big brother just had a nightmare, not because he was scared by you. I'm not depressed, don't be too careful. β
Sanniang said: "It's not that I'm too careful, I listened to my father and mother, they said that you have been in a bad mood recently, I don't know why." β
Holy, am I so obvious? Even my father and mother began to talk about it. No, what should I say if they ask? Say I don't like what's in my mother's belly? If you say that, I'm afraid that if you don't die, you will be kicked out by them.
I thought about it carefully and replied, "Mr. Fang has been away lately. When I was studying, I encountered difficulties and no one solved them, so I was bored and bored. "With an eight-year-old ...... No, I'm nine years old now, and it sounds awkward to say this in the voice of a nine-year-old child. But what else can be said? I don't know why, but now the ability to lie is gradually not good, I used to lie without having to type a draft, but now when I lie, I can feel myself blushing.
"I see. Since Mr. Fang is not here, you don't have to go to him to study, go to your father's study tomorrow, if you have any doubts, you can ask. A familiar voice behind him said, such a recognizable middle-aged male voice, I don't have to look back to know that it is my dad talking.
Dad still looks kind, because of his mother's pregnancy, he has been in a better mood recently, and he is often absent from work...... Seven or eight out of ten days stay at home, and they are very idle, and they have nothing to do.
I nodded yes, and then went to study in my father's study. That's fine, to be honest, for the sake of the future, I also have to be closer to my father.
This is the second time I've felt stressed out since I've been here. The first time was when I thought that I had borne the joys and sorrows of so many people, and I had no experience, and I was worried that I couldn't afford it at all. This is the second time, I actually feel very scared, afraid that I will fall out of favor and be disliked by my father like the current prince...... What is this? I have to think about these things all day long, tired and annoying, how can it be like when I was a gangster before, these things don't need to be considered at all, okay? The boss asked me to go east to the east, and I went west to the west, and I didn't have to worry about falling out of favor at all, because there was no such thing as falling out of favor at all, and if I didn't agree, I might be cut off. Damn, why don't you go back?
But this ...... It's not like I just want to go back.
My mother's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and every time I see my mother, I have to stare at her belly for a long time, and I can't wait to see if it's a man or a woman. Of course, others can't understand my intentions, but they only take me to heart when I'm curious.
Nothing special happened this year, no matter what happened in Daxing City, anyway, my father has been very calm in the mansion of Qizhou, except for hearing that the prince's life is not good, there is nothing else that can arouse my interest.
The reason why I am interested in the prince's affairs is because I am in a similar situation to him...... Why didn't there be a family planning or anything in ancient times? Thinking about the fact that modern society is an only child, there will be no problem that I am blindly worried about - it seems that everything is experienced to be qualified to speak, which I would never have thought of life in addition to fighting, drinking, and playing with girls There are such headaches, and now I am a teacher.
But I'm not the crown prince, and my father is not the emperor now. Looking at his current appearance, he just wants to stay in this small place and live a good life, so the affairs of the emperor's family have nothing to do with my little hairy child, let alone the younger brother who has not yet been born. But my mood is obviously not that he was born to threaten me to become emperor, but that he took away my attention before he was born.
My bad mood was broken by Sanniang last time, so I have to be secretive, otherwise what reason should I find next time? After all, Mr. Fang has already returned.
But the mood thing, no matter how well it is hidden, there are always people who can see it, and only Rong'er gets along with me day and night, although she has few words, but she is empathetic - it may be that I am not smart enough, anyway, I can't hide anything from her.
I now often lie crooked on the bed as soon as the sun sets, take a book and read a few pages carelessly, fall asleep when I can, and Rong'er will clean up the book or something, but I often can't sleep, Rong'er sees that I often look like this, and tells me bedtime stories from time to time - I definitely don't believe that bedtime stories are of any use, but every time I wake up before I finish listening to the story, it will be the next day.
I think Rong'er must know why I'm in a bad mood, but she can't relieve my boredom at all except for telling me stories, but it's that naughty little sister Sanniang, she was fierce to me when I first came, and now I don't know why, she ran to me without saying a word. Could it be that she is as worried about falling out of favor as I am? But I can't see at all that she's in a bad mood, it's definitely not like that.
One day she said to me, "Big brother, your birthday is coming soon, do you have any ideas?" β
My head is hot, damn it, I almost forgot my birthday...... What's going on? Where has my focus been on for so long? Thinking about all those messy things, I even forgot about myself - I thought that only I was narrow-minded like this, but later I learned that most people are like this, and if you suffer too much, you will lose yourself.
I came back to my senses and said, "No, why don't you think about it for me?" I regretted it after saying this, because a very weird smile appeared on Sanniang's face.
She said, "Big brother, you come in and feel upset, why don't you take this opportunity to go out for a walk?" β
I thought, yes, I always stay in the house and never go out at all, a manly man, what the hell is it to always nest in the house? What's even stranger is that before Sanniang reminded me, I never thought of this?
I nodded again and again and said, "Makes sense, makes sense...... Well, that's it. β
When Sanniang saw me like this, she pulled my sleeve - the sleeves of the ancients were so long and still had this use? said: "Big brother, can you go out with Sanniang?" β
I see? It turned out that she wanted to go out to surf by herself, but a girl couldn't go out alone, so she pulled me up? This little girl is not simple. I don't think it's okay to take her out, it's just that it's not very convenient to have an extra oil bottle, but it was her idea, and I can't just leave her alone.
