Chapter 153: Persistence
Zhou Tianmu's bedroom was still some distance from the prince's bedroom, and Bai Shuqin didn't want to run there specifically, so he went to Zhou Yusheng's changing room to find a set of dark purple clothes.
The two were about the same size, and Bai Shuqin felt that Zhou Tianmu should be able to wear it.
Not long after Zhou Tianmu changed his clothes and washed, Zhou Yusheng came back. Seeing Zhou Tianmu and Bai Shuqin appear in his bedroom, he beat a drum in his heart, feeling that Bai Shuqin must have gone to Zhou Tianmu to complain.
"Father, why are you here?" Zhou Yusheng asked with a big grin, but his eyes glared at Bai Shuqin.
Zhou Tianmu's face was serious, Zhou Yusheng muttered in his heart, his eyes rolled and rolled, thinking that he had been obedient recently. The only special thing is that he was imprisoned in the clean courtyard, but the culprit of this incident is Bai Shuqin, who is the victim.
"Where did you just go?" Zhou Tianmu asked with a straight face.
Zhou Yusheng was speechless for a long time, and his eyes began to dodge. If he said what he did, he would inevitably be criticized by him again, and after weighing the pros and cons, he still decided not to say it.
His reaction made Zhou Tianmu's face even more gloomy, Zhou Tianmu slapped the arm of the chair and asked, "What?" Can't even your father say it? ”
Bai Shuqin can be regarded as knowing how Zhou Yusheng's irritable temper came about, family inheritance, and it will take a lot of effort to change.
Zhou Yusheng and Zhou Tianmu's temperament is extremely similar, and the more he asks, the more reluctant he is to say. He kept his head down and stared at his feet.
When he was a child, Zhou Yusheng was held in the palm of Zhou Tianmu and was extremely pampered. Although he was often criticized and punished by Zhou Tianmu because he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, Zhou Yusheng was still not afraid of him.
"You don't say yes, do you?" Zhou Tianmu's face turned red, he looked left and right, there was nothing that could hit people, so he simply stood up and kicked Zhou Yusheng hard.
"Oops!" Zhou Yusheng touched his buttocks in pain and shouted, "Father, you really beat you!" ”
"What's wrong with beating you? You should fight! Zhou Tianmu seemed to have a grudge for a long time and took the opportunity to explode, and kicked Zhou Yusheng several times.
At first, Zhou Yusheng could barely hide, but after being kicked four or five times, seeing that Zhou Tianmu had no intention of stopping, he hurriedly ran before he kicked him next.
Zhou Tianmu kicked in the air and scolded angrily: "You still dare to run, it's against you!" Then she ran after him around the chairs in the lobby.
Bai Shuqin neither stepped forward nor opened his mouth to stop him, just watched leisurely from the side.
The two of them chased me and ran away for a quarter of an hour, and finally ended with Zhou Tianmu holding his chest and stopping.
Zhou Yusheng closed his eyes and ran for a while, didn't hear Zhou Tianmu's voice, turned his head suspiciously, saw Zhou Tianmu's face was painful, and hurriedly ran over in fright.
"Father, are you alright?" He patted Zhou Tianmu on the back, and was about to ask Bai Shuqin to call the imperial doctor over, but his hand was restrained by Zhou Tianmu.
Zhou Tianmu laughed like a child who had won the game: "You should give me another look!" ”
Seeing that he was fine, Zhou Yusheng's tense nerves relaxed, just now he was really afraid that something would happen to Zhou Tianmu. He didn't struggle, he held his head high and resigned himself to his fate: "I won't run away, you can fight!" ”
He was like this, Zhou Tianmu felt bored, and he didn't even have the desire to beat him. He let go of his hand, his expression a little sad, and he shook his head helplessly.
It should be a happy thing not to be beaten, but Zhou Yusheng felt empty in his heart.
"Father, I just went out to find someone." Zhou Yusheng drooped his head and took the initiative to speak: "Yesterday I lost my temper and drove out a eunuch. It's my fault to lose my temper casually, and I can't ruin someone like that, so I went and brought him back. ”
Zhou Tianmu paused, as if he couldn't believe that these words came out of Zhou Yusheng's mouth. It was only when Bai Shuqin walked over and touched him lightly that he came back to his senses, "Why didn't you say it just now?" ”
"I'm afraid of being scolded by you!" Zhou Yusheng said that no matter what he did, no matter whether he did it well or not, Zhou Tianmu's first reaction was to scold him.
After returning from Zhao Guo's courtship, Zhou Tianmu scolded Zhou Yusheng particularly badly. In front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he was degraded to worthless, and he even wanted to take the initiative to ask for his abolition at that time.
In this matter, Zhou Tianmu does have the element of being angry, he always hates iron and steel.
At this time, seeing that Zhou Yusheng was about to cry, his heart softened, and his tone softened, "You did the right thing in this matter, I won't scold you." I just hope that you can be better, and if I am gone, you can carry the burden of the whole country. ”
Zhou Yusheng had never heard Zhou Tianmu say these words, he thought that Zhou Tianmu always taught him because he wanted to abolish him, but he didn't expect it to be for his sake. Zhou Yusheng only felt that his eyes were sore, and tears fell to the ground.
The corners of Zhou Tianmu's eyes were also a little moist, he patted Zhou Yusheng's shoulder and encouraged: "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to live up to my expectations and study hard by Mrs. Bai's side!" ”
Zhou Yusheng, who didn't shed tears no matter how hard he was beaten, nodded silently at the moment, saying that his husband was tired and didn't flick, but he just couldn't help it.
After coming out of the prince's bedroom, Zhou Tianmu's mood became extraordinarily good, and there was an irrepressible smile on his face.
Bai Shuqin looked up at the moon in the sky that was half hiding in the clouds, but there was something indescribable in his heart. If there is a problem between father and son, let alone between others, let alone between others?
She recalled the time she was with Zhuo Jinxuan, and the best time for the two of them was when she was sure she knew what was going on in his heart. And what made her most desperate was that she suddenly found that she couldn't see the person in front of her clearly.
In the quiet of the night, wakefulness made the wounds that had begun to heal in my heart more and more painful. Bai Shuqin tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep peacefully, and when he closed his eyes, it was a terrifying sight.
At this time, she wished that someone could comfort her, but there was nothing around her, and even the pillow was a lonely one.
After a sleepless night, when the first light appeared in the sky, Bai Shuqin immediately turned over and got off the bed.
After the toss the night before yesterday, coupled with so many things that happened yesterday, Zhou Yusheng slept very soundly all night. He had a dream, in which he learned to be rich and five cars and was eight buckets high, and the people who praised him were lined up all the way to the sky.
The corners of his mouth were about to reach his ears, and the beauty took the initiative to hug him, and the soft Xiangyu hugged him, and the strange thing was that this beauty had a prickly feeling on her face.
Zhou Yusheng really wondered what was wrong, but found out what kind of beauty he was in his arms, that is, a rough man, with a stubble on his face, and two or three pieces of nose hair running out of his nostrils.
The most terrifying thing is that the man still pouted and kissed Zhou Yusheng's mouth.
Bai Shuqin stood beside Zhou Yusheng's bed, watching him change from pouting to full of horror, and his hands and feet were constantly struggling, obviously having a nightmare. She picked her nails, wondering if she could help him.
While she was still thinking about it, Zhou Yusheng was already crying bitterly. Bai Shuqin moved his muscles and bones, and pushed him under the bed with one palm.
The bed is not high, and it is not short to say that it is short, which is enough for Zhou Yusheng to wake up. His chin slammed to the ground, tears came out of his eyes, and the person woke up.
Zhou Yusheng had a feeling of being in the aftermath of the catastrophe, and he was almost lightened by a man just now.
"Looks like I had a terrible dream!" Bai Shuqin gloated on the other side of the bed.
Zhou Yusheng, who had just woken up from the nightmare, was startled again, he turned his head sharply, looked at Bai Shuqin, and then looked at the sky outside, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "When did you come in?" ”
"Not long, a quarter of an hour." Bai Shuqin walked up to him, squatted down, and showed a bright smile, "Starting today, all according to the plan!" ”
Her smile made Zhou Yusheng's back chill, but now that he couldn't sleep, he couldn't sleep, and that nightmare completely woke him up.
The first person to toss Zhou Yusheng was not Bai Shuqin, but Guo Hu. He had been waiting outside the door for a long time, and Bai Shu Qin had just sent Zhou Yusheng to the door.
"What are you doing with a stick?" Zhou Yusheng was shocked again.
Guo Hu was holding a stick the thickness of a child's wrist in his hand, he glanced at Bai Shuqin, and Zhou Yusheng immediately understood what was going on.
In the past few days, Zhou Yusheng has already known that Bai Shuqin is definitely not as innocent and harmless as she looks, she is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and she was specially sent by God to fix him.
At this moment, Bai Shuqin was holding his hands and looking at him with a smile, he sighed, and said to Guo Hu: "Let's go!" ”
"Remember an hour and don't be lazy!" Bai Shuqin reminded.
"Got it, long-winded!" Zhou Yusheng pouted in disgust, and then set off and started running, he wanted to run around the palace.
Running around the palace is completely enough for those who practice martial arts.
Running is not difficult, but it is also a test of patience. Zhou Yu didn't like running in his life, but now he just feels extremely annoying.
The road ahead seemed to have no end, and the legs were getting sore and the steps were getting heavier. Eventually, he had no strength to lift his feet again, and he was just scratching on the ground.
He was out of breath and wanted to stop and rest, but Guo Hu's voice came from behind him: "Prince, it's coming soon, hold on!" ”
Zhou Yusheng didn't know how many times he heard him say this, and he had long been numb.
The only motivation that can make him persist is entirely because of what Bai Shuqin said that there is a punishment waiting for him if he doesn't run away, as well as the stick in Guo Hu's hand.
Zhou Yusheng's speed became slower and slower, and finally reached the point where it was slower than the maid's walking.
Running through the Taihe Palace, there is only one kilometer left from the Prince's Bedroom. Zhou Yusheng saw his dormitory appear in front of him, as if there was a dawn illuminating his sky.
His face became excited, his body seemed to be rejuvenated, and without waiting for Guo Hu to say anything, he used all his strength and ran to the destination like a 100-meter sprint.
Three meters, two meters, one meter, as the distance got closer and closer, the corners of Zhou Yusheng's mouth rose higher and higher.
When he finally arrived, he had no strength anymore, and collapsed directly on the ground at the entrance of the dormitory, motionless.
Guo Hu hurriedly followed and helped Zhou Yusheng up, and kindly reminded: "Prince, it's not good for your health to rest directly like this, go first, and then rest." ”
"No, I can't move anymore." Zhou Yusheng was like having no bones, floppy and weak, and the weight of his whole body was pressed on the crook of Guo Hu's arm.
Guo Hu had no choice but to drag him to the study.
In the study, Bai Shuqin had already sorted out the things that Zhou Yusheng was going to study today, and a thick pile of books was placed on the desk, just looking at it, Zhou Yusheng already felt a headache.
Zhou Yusheng, who was dragged into the study, sat on Bai Shuqin's chair next to the desk, and collapsed in a large shape. He lifted one leg and put it on the desk, pointing at Guo Hu, "Come and pinch me." ”
Bai Shuqin stood aside and looked at him without a smile, he took his legs back in a sneer, and smiled at Bai Shuqin: "I'll pinch it myself, pinch it myself!" ”
Although my hands are not very tired when running, it is not easy to massage myself. Zhou Yusheng pressed it twice, and he didn't want to move.
"Guo Hu, find two maids to help him press it." Bai Shuqin instructed Guo Hu.
"Your conscience has been found?" Zhou Yusheng's eyes lit up.
Bai Shuqin sneered: "Hehe, I'm afraid that your leg will be wasted." Give you half an hour, finish breakfast, and we'll start learning. ”
