Chapter (6) Pity
Five years is not short, but it is enough for a little boy to gradually transform into a teenager.
Liu Zhanyan's originally baby-fat face slowly lost weight, his contours became more refined, and his body was slender and lean, the only thing that made Liu Zhanyan dissatisfied was that no matter how long he was, he was always a little shorter than his junior brother Liu Junlin.
The pillar in the corridor, there are several scratches on the left, the slightly longer one indicates the height that Liu Zhanyan measured every time, and the slightly shorter one is Liu Junlin's, and the slightly shorter scratches are always about an inch higher than the slightly longer one inch higher, and now, Liu Zhanyan measured it again, and found that he was now higher than the mark of Liu Junlin last time, and his heart was excited.
Seeing this, the blue fish that came out of the room poured cold water on Liu Zhanyan without hesitation, and he sneered, "That was only measured in King's Landing last winter, could it be that if you grow taller, won't he grow?" ”
This cold water, Liu Zhanyan's heart was really poured, as a senior brother, he was actually shorter than his junior brother, alas, Liu Zhanyan sighed softly, he lived in vain, he looked up at the gloating herring, and suddenly he was unhappy, his eyes rolled, and said, "Master, apprentice, I am in a very bad mood today, I decided to go down the mountain to find Sister Cuihua, you can cook today's meal!" ”
Leaving this sentence, Liu Zhanyan walked out of the Taoist temple with a "sad face" quickly, only Yu Qingyu was calm in place, "This bastard boy, really!" ”。
The Taoist temple on the mountain is comfortable and leisurely, and the village under the mountain is very lively.
Liu Zhanyan found Sister Cuihua who was selling pork, and said with a smile on her little face, "Sister Xiaocui, you see that you are still convenient to make some pastries, I am thinking that my junior brother is coming soon, you know, he likes to eat what you make the most, that taste, but it is first-class!" Sister Xiaocui is so beautiful, and her hands are so skillful, if it weren't for my young age, I would have wanted to marry you! ”
Sister Xiaocui was overjoyed to hear it, she lightly nodded Liu Zhanyan's forehead, and said, "You little ghost, this mouth is really, it's almost sweet, so good at coaxing girls, what's going on in the future, don't learn from your old ghost master!" ”
Liu Zhanyan said with a straight face, "I'm not coaxing, I'm telling the truth!" ”
Sister Xiaocui shook her head with a smile and said, "Okay, you kid, I'll write down the pastry, with a senior brother like you, your junior brother is really happy!" ”
Liu Zhanyan raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said unceremoniously, "Who said it wasn't, it must be the blessing that he has cultivated for an unknown number of lifetimes!" ”
Cuihua was amused by Liu Zhanyan's small appearance again, and the two talked happily, and at sunset, Liu Zhanyan could return to the Taoist temple.
And over there, the queen's pepper room hall.
The entire hall felt like it was frozen, making people feel like they had fallen into an ice cellar in all aspects of their body and mind, and the chill was biting.
The queen held a special long whip, with a strange smile on her face, as if her hand was careless, and this accidentally hit Liu Junlin, who was kneeling on the ground.
In the late autumn and about to enter the winter season, Liu Junlin's upper body was not wearing a wisp, kneeling in the Jiaofang Palace, whipping down, hot and painful, but what is strange is that Liu Junlin's body has no whip marks.
The queen's special whip would be ten times more painful than an ordinary whip when it hit a person, and the wound could only be seen in hot water.
Liu Junlin seemed to be used to it, his eyes were dull, his face was expressionless, and he let his own mother toss.
"Ahh ”
The cheap maid in the queen's mouth is Yue Guifei, Yue Guifei was just a slave in the kitchen, by chance, she fell in love with the emperor and gave birth to a son, who was a month younger than Liu Junlin, and he is a veritable little prince, his name is also called "Liu Junlin", the old people in the palace are tacit, but no one in the court knows.
They only know that the Holy Lord is extremely fond of the little prince Liu Junlin, and this little prince is the heir, as for whether this "Liu Junlin" is the queen's or Yue Guifei's, the answer is clear.
Liu Junlin couldn't tell what it felt, his mother's whipping had not stopped, and now he found that his father, who was so good to him, was actually using him as a shield to pave the way for his "younger brother".
Everything that was so beautiful turned out to be just a play, what else can he be nostalgic for in this world, who else? Liu Junlin's consciousness gradually blurred, and Liu Zhanyan's worried face appeared in front of his eyes, Senior brother, I'm so tired, can you take me back to the Taoist temple......
Liu Jun couldn't hold on to it when he was dying, and fainted, the queen threw the whip aside, stepped forward and kicked it hard, "What a useless thing!" ”
After the queen left, Xiao Xiangzi couldn't help crying, his hard-working prince! Xiao Xiangzi took a hard breath, and immediately dressed Liu Junlin, helped him back to the East Willow Palace, and took care of him.
Since ancient times, the emperors have been affectionate, and the so-called favor is just a flash in the pan......
When Liu Junlin woke up, it was already the third night, and after Xiao Xiangzi noticed it, he immediately came to him and said anxiously, "Is Your Highness better?" But where else does it hurt? ”
But Liu Junlin only muttered a word softly, which instantly made Xiao Xiangzi feel distressed and burst into tears, he said, "Ah Xiang, winter is coming, let's go home from the palace!" ”
Xiao Xiangzi cried and agreed, go home, okay, go home, let Ah Xiang accompany you this time......
Hearing the news that Liu Junlin was going back to the Taoist temple, Liu Zhanyan stayed outside the Taoist temple for several days, and finally in the evening of that day, he saw Liu Junlin, and hurriedly ran over, his face suddenly darkened, my mother, what did this kid eat, he was half a head taller than me, he beat Liu Junlin's chest hard, "You stinky boy, why have you been grinding for so long, it is a few days later than the day explained in the letter, so I have to wait!" ”
When Shoko saw it, she exclaimed, "Hey, you! ......" As soon as he wanted to speak, he was stopped by Liu Junlin, and Xiangzi frowned when he saw Liu Junlin's face a little whiter.
Seeing this, Liu Zhanyan wondered, "What's wrong?" Who is he? Your friend? ”
Liu Junlin smiled indifferently, "It's okay, he's my family." ”
When Xiao Xiangzi behind him heard this, tears filled his eyes, and he hurriedly lowered his head to hold back his tears and stopped making a sound.
Family? Could it be that he is a member of the royal family, but he doesn't look like it? Liu Zhanyan was secretly puzzled, then took Liu Junlin's luggage, naturally took Liu Junlin's hand, and teased, "It's so old, but you still have to sleep with your senior brother?" ”
Liu Junlin didn't accept him, but smiled and said softly, "Senior brother can call the shots." ”
Liu Zhanyan failed to flirt, the tips of his ears turned a little red somehow, he coughed twice, and disguised, "Then together." ”
Liu Junlin, "Okay. ”
Xiangzi looked at the two people in front of him strangely, and silently followed them to the room, Liu Zhanyan realized that he had ignored one person, and hurriedly said to Xiangzi, "What, I'm sorry, your room is next door, you put your luggage first, pack up, and then come to us!" ”
After Liu Zhanyan sent Xiangzi away under the pretext, he stepped forward and ripped off the clothes on Liu Junlin's shoulder, Liu Junlin's face was provoked with a layer of crimson, and he exclaimed, "Senior brother......
The skin on his shoulders was fair and smooth, and there were no traces of injury, Liu Zhanyan breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Your breath is unstable, and your face is not very good, I thought you were injured?" ”
Liu Junlin smiled, "How so? I just caught a cold a few days ago, and I'm not getting better yet. ”
Xiangzi was sent out of the room, and secretly said in his heart, is this the senior brother who His Highness has been talking about all day?
Xiao Xiangzi finished cleaning the room at a very fast speed, put away the luggage, and immediately went to the next room to look, he always felt that this senior brother was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The first day was okay and passed peacefully.
The next day, Xiao Xiangzi wanted to find His Highness, but in that room, he only saw the guy who was still sleeping.
And in the kitchen, he found Liu Junlin who was cooking, Xiao Xiangzi was shocked and said, "Your Highness can't help it!" ”
Liu Junlin shook the spoon's hand and said, "Up?" Did you sleep well last night? ”
Xiao Xiangzi's face turned red instantly, as a minion, he actually got up later than his master, Xiao Xiangzi immediately stepped forward, snatched the spoon from Liu Junlin's hand and said, "Your Highness go down and rest, I'll come!" ”
Liu Junlin put it down like a stream, "Then please leave it to you!" ”
Then on the dinner table, there were two sets of food, one for Liu Junlin, one for the master and apprentice, and even the tableware used by Liu Junlin was replaced with fine silver chopsticks.
The table was very quiet, and the herring still devoured it, and Liu Zhanyan squinted his eyes impatiently, pointing to the bowl of dishes in front of Liu Junlin, "King's Landing, I want that." ”
Xiao Xiangzi, "No! ”
But Liu Junlin pushed the bowl of dishes in front of Liu Zhanyan and said with a light smile, "Okay." ”
Xiao Xiangzi was silent.
After the meal, Liu Junlin habitually cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to wash the dishes, this job was snatched away by Xiao Xiangzi, Liu Junlin sighed lightly, and let him go, and when he wanted to find Liu Zhanyan, he found that the person was no longer there.
There was still a faint pain all over his body, Liu Junlin thought about going to the underground hot spring in this temple to take a dip, and heard the master say that the hot spring also had the effect of healing injuries, which was perfect for him at this time.
The entrance to the underground hot spring is in the secret passage of the study, and through the tunnel, the smoky hot spring is close in front of you.
Liu Junlin quickly took off his clothes and jumped down, only to hear a "poof", Liu Junlin sank for a while, and then came out.
The injuries on Liu Junlin's body were clearly visible in the hot springs, of different depths, and the traces were already innumerable.
Liu Junlin only felt a sudden pain all over his body, he closed his eyes and endured it silently, but a long sigh came from his ears, "King's Landing......"
