Liu Shu listened to Liu Jing not speaking for a long time, put down the lotus canopy in his hand, looked up at Liu Jing who was rowing seriously, and asked, "What do you want?" Still wondering how to clean up Ling Fei? ”

Liu Jing shook his head and said, "I listen to you, don't clean up Ling Fei." Master Ling is erudite, and Ling Fei's kid is probably also a man of both civil and military skills, so let him come to class with me in the future. ”

Liu Shu suddenly pursed his mouth and didn't speak, Liu Jing stopped the boat, and the two went ashore together. On the shore is a Qi white jade platform, on which is the father of the two, King Song Huai, wrote the three words "Star Picking Platform". The two climbed to the top of the stage panting, the sun was about to set, and Liu Shu did not speak. Although the two often talked without a pair when they played, Liu Jing had never seen Liu Shu not say a word for so long, so he asked, "Why don't you talk for a long time?" ”

Liu Shu looked at the gradually darkening sunset on the edge of the pavilions in the distance, and said in a muffled voice: "Brother has new friends in the future, will he stop playing with me?" ”

Liu Jing smiled: "How come? ”

Liu Shu said aggrievedly: "That Ling Fei, his martial arts are better than mine, and his knowledge is definitely better than mine, and he can learn martial arts and take classes with you, you will be busier and busier in the future, and you will definitely forget me one day." ”

Liu Jing patted Liu Shu's little head and said, "No, you are my only sister, I am your only brother, neither of us will forget anyone, right?" ”

Liu Shu lay down on the star-picking platform, looked at the dark sky, and whispered: "Brother, I know that the queen mother doesn't like my mother, so even if my father dies on the battlefield, the queen mother will not issue an order to cancel my father's ban on my mother." Although my mother can't go out of the Splendid Garden, I can run around and see you often, in fact, I am already very satisfied. The thought that my brother is still the King of Song makes me even more satisfied. And my eldest brother still loves me very much, and I can't be satisfied anymore. But tomorrow my brother's close guard will be on duty, and in a few years, my brother will marry a wife, and my sister will become more and more insignificant, and maybe I will marry to another country like my mother in the future. ”

Liu Jing knew that his sister usually looked rampant, always annoying the queen mother and grandmother, but in fact, she was very smart and delicate, if it weren't for the mother and grandmother who had been grounding her mother, she would not have deliberately been lawless in front of them. Liu Jing succeeded to the throne of the Song Dynasty at the age of three, and in addition to being meticulous in listening to politics in the previous dynasty, he was also very diligent and studious in private, and at this time he was much more mature than ordinary ten-year-old children. Liu Shu has been playing with him, often listening to him talk about the affairs of the court and the allusions in the book, in order not to be disliked by him, Liu Shu also read a lot of books in private, and he is more sensible and penetrating than ordinary seven-year-old girls. The two often hid in a corner of the White Jade Palace before dinner and whispered to her, Liu Jing would confide in her about the grievances and dissatisfaction in the court, and she would also describe her thoughts or feelings to him. At this time, she was talking about her feeling a little lost after she noticed that the two would gradually grow up and gradually become estranged.

Liu Jing also lay down facing the sky, he looked sideways at the rising moon, and said gently: "Shu'er, we will grow up sooner or later, but growing up also has the benefit of growing up." For example, when I grow up, I can govern with full authority and no longer be controlled by my mother and grandmother, so I can gradually clean up Qiao's power in the Song Kingdom, let the truly talented and ambitious people in the Song Kingdom become officials, and let the Song Kingdom become what I want it to be. When I have real power, I will immediately issue an order to pardon Aunt Lin's grounding order, so that your mother and daughter will no longer be bullied, and you will enjoy all the dignity that a princess of the Song Kingdom should have. When I become the real King of Song, and when the Song Kingdom becomes strong again, I will never let you marry other countries like Aunt Lin. As for Ling Fei, he is my bodyguard, and he is also your bodyguard, he will be my friend, and he will be your friend. Wouldn't it be nice for you to have someone else to teach you martial arts and play for you? ”

Liu Shu gradually became happy under the persuasion of his brother, and confessed: "I know that when my brother grows up, everything will be better, and I have always known it. You will be a good Song king, and the Song Kingdom will definitely become stronger. I was just suddenly a little jealous of that Ling Fei. I am your sister, and I can't learn martial arts with you or attend classes together, but he can suddenly change from a stranger to your bodyguard and your companion, and he will be inseparable from you every day for the rest of his life. ”

Liu Jing smiled: "You chose him, but you are jealous of him?" Otherwise, change it to Qiao Yun? ”

Liu Shu shook his head and said: "Qiao Yun is not good, he doesn't take me seriously, he obviously looks down on me while ignoring your orders, if he is with you all day, maybe you won't be happy." ”

Liu Jing said: "My good sister, you still know me best and think about me the most. I don't know if I will be able to marry someone who understands me and thinks about me like you do. ”

Liu Shu looked at Liu Jing with a smile and said decisively: "It will definitely be!" ”

Liu Jing looked at his sister's starry eyes and laughed.

Liu Shu said: "Then I will also marry someone who loves me and spoils me like my brother." ”

Liu Jing pretended to look at her with disgust and said, "With your skinny appearance, I'm afraid it's very difficult." Seeing Liu Shu's little face wrinkled, Liu Jing laughed and said, "But even if you can't find it, isn't there still me!" I will love and spoil you for the rest of my life. ”

Liu Shu's brows stretched, and the two little people were a little tired and silent, each counting the stars in the sky, connecting them into lines, imagining them as different small paintings. When I was young, time always passed very slowly. You can't count the stars.

Suddenly, I heard the footsteps of palace people under the star-picking platform, which were small and fragmented, and they also spoke in a low voice.

One of the palace maids said: "I don't know where His Royal Highness has gone, the boat is parked here, but it is possible that it has walked back from the grass on the other side." ”

Another palace maid said: "Yes, it's so hard to find at this time of day, he got rid of the palace people who followed and served, and Bacheng went to mess with the uneducated little girl in Jinxiuyuan again." ”

Liu Jing and Liu Shu winked at each other, both deliberately silent. I think that the two of them are lying on the star-picking platform, and when they look at the high platform from below, they can't see anyone. Liu Jing recognized the voices of these two palace maids, who were the eldest aunts in the Empress Huiren's palace. Liu Shu couldn't tell who it was, but he was curious about how these two people were going to say bad things about themselves and their mothers behind their backs.

The two palace maids whispered again: "The princess of Chu in the Splendid Garden was grounded by the first king because she was talking nonsense and being rude when the first king was alive. That little girl should be grounded if she is so crazy, and today she actually ran to Huiren Palace to argue with a few boys, but she was injured! Sure enough, if there is a mother, there must be a daughter! ”

My sister was only half right. Although there is a mother, there must be a daughter, but who is the biological mother of this little girl, sister, how can you forget? ”

"This ...... It's been seven or eight years, who remembers it clearly? Sister, if you don't remind me, I really forgot! That little girl is actually not the daughter of the princess of Chu at all, but the daughter of the short-lived Xiao Meiren! After Xiao Mei gave birth to her, she bled to death, and she passed on to the childless princess of Chu. ”

"Niangniang often said that this little girl was born unknown, on the day she was born, the news of the death of the first king on the battlefield came to the palace, Xiao Meiren also died, and the stupid princess of Chu heard that Xiao Meiren died, and asked someone to go to Suhua Palace to bring the little girl back to the Splendid Garden as a daughter. Niangniang has been grounding her in the Splendid Garden, just not wanting the bad luck brought by the little girl to spread into this palace, but the first king only grounded the princess of Chu, and did not ground the little girl, as a result, the princess of Chu who was not long-eyed was still running around with the little girl, and Niangniang was upset when she saw it. I don't know where she took Her Royal Highness, if anything is in danger, see how Niangniang cleans her up! ”

The two palace maids walked away, and the voices gradually became inaudible.

Liu Shu sat up suddenly, hugging his knees and curling up with a chill, staring blankly at the backs of the two palace maids carrying lanterns under the star-picking platform. She was stunned and asked, "Brother, what did they say?" ”
