Chapter 56: Who's Your Father?
Dayang, winter.
The goose-feathered snow was sprinkled with flutters, and I don't know how much I didn't want to see the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and it took three days to stop.
The pavilions and pavilions are covered with a thick layer of snow, but the clear pond is somehow covered with only a thin layer of ice, and you can even see fish playing in the water.
The palace after the snow is really peaceful, and even the deliberately light steps of the eunuchs and palace maids are particularly clear.
In the silence of the snow, the sound of a child's laughter was unusually clear.
"Here, here." A child of about five or six years old, with a red face from the cold, shook his body wrapped like a ball with some difficulty, and waved at a little eunuch who was thinly dressed.
He was followed by seven or eight palace maids, swaying back and forth with his unsteady pace, protecting him tightly.
Seeing that he was shaking, he reminded from time to time: "Prince, be careful of falling." ”
The boy laughed more happily as if he was not afraid, the golden tiger head shoes had been soaked in snow, but he was still jumping, making trouble, grabbing a snowball from time to time and hitting the opposite eunuch, or holding up a large ball of snow, and raising it to the sky, and some of it was left in his neck along the neckline in time, and the boy was still smiling greedily, as if he couldn't laugh enough.
"Ahh A small sneeze suddenly came from behind the tall pine tree, and because the prince's laughter was so loud that only a young palace maid who seemed to be a teenager on the side spotted the weak figure hiding behind the tree.
It was a boy as big as the prince, his eyebrows and eyes were similar to the prince, and the difference with the prince was that the ruddy joint belt collapsed, wearing only a thin shirt, hiding behind a tree and shivering slightly, his thin little hands were red from the cold, and his body was constantly shaking, but those inky black eyes looked at the prince with deep longing.
This should be the disaster star in that person's mouth, the palace maid who was full of sympathy just now immediately changed her face after looking at his eyebrows and eyes similar to those of the prince, and walked quickly to the pine tree, waving the handkerchief in her hand with disgust.
"Go and go, don't spoil people's mood here."
The boy shook his body in fright, knowing that he was not welcome, and bowed his head and prepared to leave. However, as soon as he turned around, he heard a shrill voice shouting loudly:
"The emperor has arrived."
The boy's body shook a few times.
For as long as he can remember, the calloused grandmother has warned him more than once not to approach the prince.
Who knew that when he was four years old, he inadvertently broke into the prince's bedroom, and was kicked to the wall by this tall man who was surrounded by everyone, and it took several days to breathe normally.
"Mama, that prince and I look alike."
"Mama, Chunju said that I am also the prince, why can the prince call me the father, but I can't."
"Mama, who is my daddy?"
Every now and then, Mama would hang her head, stuff him with a few pieces of candy, touch his eyebrows and eyes similar to the crown prince, and say earnestly: "You just need to remember that you are not a prince, and you have no father." That's enough to remember. ”
Thinking of the sharp eyebrows and the heavy kick, the boy's whole heart immediately panicked, and he quickly retreated without thinking.
Who knows, it was a snowy day, the ground was slippery, and he was wearing ordinary shoes, and after being soaked in the snow for so long, he had already stiffened, and he was unstable, his feet slipped, and he fell straight into the lake with a thin layer of ice.
The cold water immediately poured into his nasal cavity, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and fear and fear hit him together, and he stretched out his little hand in a panic, fluttering wildly, while taking advantage of the ups and downs of his body to shout:
"Help, help."
The voice here immediately attracted the emperor's attention, hugged the prince in his arms, leaned forward a few steps, pointed to a eunuch, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Anzi, you go and see who fell into the water, save it." ”
"Yes." The eunuch quickly answered and ran towards the water's edge.
Probably because of the snowy day, the emperor's voice quickly reached the ears of the boy here, and the boy was a little happy to splash hard, and forgot the old grandmother's warning for a while: "Father, here, here." ”
The eyebrows and eyes that were still smiling just now suddenly wrinkled, his voice was cold without the slightest emotion, and the hand holding the prince tightened a little, "Who is your father, Xiao Anzi, come back." ”
Who is your father,
Anzi, come back.
The cold words suddenly reached the ears of the child who was full of joy, and the words suddenly became colder than the pool water, and the little hand that was still beating weakly hung down, opened his eyes wide, and at the moment when his body sank rapidly, he saw the scene of the bright yellow man holding the prince frowning and turning around in his eyes for a moment.
There was a gurgling sound of pond water in his ears, and his body drooped down like a boneless, and the cold pool water instantly penetrated the thin clothes, but what was even colder was the child's heart that was still a little ignorant, and his face instantly became moist, but he couldn't tell whether it was helpless tears or the biting lake.
