this is a moth

My eyelids kept twitching all the time. This twitching is definitely not a good thing. I have always believed in this. The last time my eyelids twitched, the house was flooded.

"People from the Clan Mansion, what are you doing here looking for this king?"

Xiaodouzi grinned and said, "I don't know too well, maybe there is a happy event."

Staying in this palace, I am worried every day, for fear that if I accidentally light a firecracker, something will happen to me.

The errands in the clan's mansion are usually princes, county kings, etc. The person who came today is not the king, so I asked, "Who did the clan's mansion send here?"

"Returning to the prince, it is His Royal Highness the Prince of Donghuai County."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but exclaim: "This is true!" My steps also took a little longer.

The king of Donghuai County may not be known to many people, but he has another catchy nickname - the master of carrying the pot.

Because of his superb chess skills and weird chess moves, he always likes to use his sword to take the edge. He often thinks that he will lose in the first move, and the next move can turn the world around. He has never lost a game so far.He also won the old chess king Liu Jiang last year, so he is called a master.

It is rumored that when the last chess piece in Liu Jiang's hand fell, he said two words: "Fearless future generations! This old man has made an oath that he will seal the chess pieces from now on." Then he laughed wildly and left.

After that, the chess king really disappeared.In this way, the reputation of the pot-handling master became more and more resounding.

Before I was outside the palace, I only saw him from a distance.

Every time there is his chess game, the whole teahouse will be full, men and women come to watch.Men look at chess, women look at faces.I squeezed a few times, but never squeezed in once.

I never thought that today I could see the real body of the holy hand.

From a distance, I saw a figure standing in the corridor. When he saw me coming, he cupped his hands and greeted me: "Xiao Wang has seen His Royal Highness King Tai."

He is half a year older than me, so I said: "Brother Wang has been waiting for a long time." After saying that, I will lead him into the palace.

But I heard him laughing and saying: "Xiao Wang came here today just to convey a matter, and he will go to the clan mansion to return to his orders later, and come to visit again when he is free."

I nod.

He also heard him say: "According to His Majesty's order, the Clan Mansion has sent the court clothes and accessories to the palace, and the case has also been sent here. The canonization ceremony is scheduled for the eighth day of the eighth month, Your Highness, please let me know."

I cupped my hands and replied, "It's time to work."

He pursed his lips and nodded: "If there is no objection, then please take some time to memorize the case, and come to the clan mansion in early August to look for Xiao Wang Mopian."

I am most afraid of reciting books in my life, I glanced at the head of the hall, and my brain was throbbing with pain in an instant, so a pile of documents asked me to recite...

Forget it, I don't want to be this prince anyway, whoever loves to be the one! But even though my heart is troubled, my face is calm, and I said calmly: "Thank you, brother, for coming to tell me .”

"Xiao Wang will take his leave now."

......

I flipped through the stack of books sent by the King of Donghuai County. Most of them were red tape rules. They told me to memorize the contents one by one. They were pale, pretentious and useless.

After counting, there are five volumes and twelve volumes in total. Alas, I'm afraid I won't survive.

But I am a person who does not know how to be anxious until the last moment. I throw the pile of cases in the corner and worry about it day after day holding a cup of tea. Alas, there are so many books to memorize, how can I memorize them? It's over!On the one hand, he continued to be in a daze, never turning the pages of the book.

It wasn't until someone from the palace came to pass the word that the clan's mansion was urging me to go silently, then I suddenly remembered that I didn't even read a single page...

"My lord, the county king said that if you don't have time to go to the clan's mansion, he will come to Yuanhua Hall to find you in person tomorrow."

"No need, the king will be there tomorrow." As I spoke, I didn't even lift my head, wishing I could skip eating and sleeping, and recline in a corner with my unkempt hair and face.

In the afternoon of the next day, I was still dawdling in the hall, unable to get out.

"My lord, didn't you agree to go to the clan mansion yesterday? Are you still going?"

I was holding the last book, my head was numb: "Don't talk, it will be fine." I dangled in the hall, the more anxious I was, the more I couldn't remember, I raised my eyes to stare at the glass beads hanging in the air , said to himself: "Which one did you recite just now?"

When I was in a state of anxiety, I heard a thick voice coming from the outer hall: "I don't know how you have memorized King Tai's book?"

When I turned around, the man was wearing a snow-colored robe fluttering slightly in the wind, standing in the outer hall with his hands up and down, looking towards this side with a half-smile.

I couldn't help but sigh softly: "It's you..."

With a calm expression on his face, he cupped his hands and said: "The last time I happened to meet in the garden, it seems that His Highness still remembers it."

I also went out to greet him: "If the king's guess is correct, your Excellency is His Royal Highness, the son of the king." When we met in the garden that day, I saw him wearing a red court dress with the same color python pattern printed on his chest. Among them, apart from the eldest son Li Xun, there is probably no one else.

"My lord has good eyesight, it's just me." He paused and said, "I'm here to visit this time, I was entrusted by my brother, the king of Donghuai County. My nephew occasionally caught a cold and had a fever last night. My brother stayed at the mansion to take care of him." If I can't leave for a while, I will entrust me to come to you."

"The master pot-handler has a son?!" It is said that he is handsome and free-spirited, and he is still alone. It turns out that it is all an illusion...

But the other party changed the topic: "How is the prince silent?"

"Oh, wait a little longer, it will be ready, Your Highness sit down first." Then, he buried his head and started reciting.

Before I knew it, the sky was getting darker and the candles were lit up little by little. Only then did I realize that Li Xun had been waiting for a long time. I saw him calmly holding up a cup of tea, holding it to his mouth and lightly drinking it. He took a sip and said: "It's getting late, I'm leaving too."

After saying that, he got up and said: "Actually, I came here just to tell you something. My brother said that the clan mansion doesn't care about such formalities. As long as His Highness is loyal to His Majesty, everything is no longer important."

what... what? ? ?

"So, what does His Royal Highness want to say?" I asked at a loss.

"In short, Your Highness doesn't need to endorse... His Majesty learned about your situation, and specially ordered the clan's residence to relax a bit." I think he is still serious, and he was tricked by co-authoring this king...

"As soon as I entered the door, I asked His Highness how he was doing silently, but he never asked His Highness to read silently. Seeing that Your Highness wants to finish memorizing, I don't want to disturb you."

I saw him twitching his lips, and continued to say: "Okay, Your Highness, rest early, the day after tomorrow is a good day for His Highness to be enshrined, and after the Thai King's Mansion is completed, I will visit you again, and Xiao Wang will leave now. "After he finished speaking, he cupped his hands, then turned around and swayed out the door.

"... "

At this time, someone from the palace cautiously approached and asked softly: "My lord...Your lord, you haven't even eaten your lunch, do you want to send someone to bring you dinner?"

I stared blankly at the gate of the palace, and after a while, I came back to my senses and said, "I can't eat, you all go down..."

Qi to Qi, fortunately, finally no need to endorse...

"My lord, but..."

I raised my sleeves, waved my hands and said: "Okay, I told you all to go down." After so many days of tossing around, I'm really tired, and I just want to catch up on a good night's sleep.

I have been used to being alone for many years, and I didn't like the servants watching over me when I slept, so I sent them away, and the heavy palace gate was slowly closed from the outside.

I grabbed the book casually and glanced at it, feeling drowsy gradually. Just at this moment, someone pushed the door open, and a gust of wind swept across the inner hall, extinguishing all the candles.

As soon as he lay down, he suddenly remembered that this was in the palace, not Li's mansion, the door of the majestic prince's bedroom, could he just push it at will, could it be an assassin?I hurriedly got up and hid behind the pillar.

"Brother Huang, it's me." In the darkness, I heard Cheng Zhen's voice, and I breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so late, what is Your Majesty coming to see me for?" As soon as I finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in my chest, the smell of blood wafted into my nose, and the warmth spread down from my chest.

After a few thunderclaps, heavy rain came. Under a flash of pale lightning, I looked down at the nightgown I was wearing, but I couldn't tell the original color.

The sword was still stuck in my chest, and when I got excited, a fishy and salty feeling came out of my throat.

"Why?" I paused every word, and the strength in my whole body gradually dissipated, and I couldn't help sliding down the stone pillar, and finally fell to the ground.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and I saw his calm face, as if he accidentally stepped on a cockroach, or deliberately crushed an innocuous ant to death.

At this time, another thunderclap fell, and the rubble was rustled by the rain. The branches outside the window swayed with the wind, and occasionally the sound of twigs being broken by the wind was faintly heard.

I asked again: "Why?"

He didn't say a word, he pulled his arm back neatly, the sword was pulled back, the warm liquid immediately splashed my face and stained his clothes.

I heard a slightly immature but incomparably cold voice saying: "It is your blessing that the imperial brother was killed in the palace." After saying that, he dragged the long sword and walked away.

The blood that was originally flowing in my chest extended all the way to the outside of the hall along with the tip of the sword.

Me, this is going to die?But why?

"Brother Huang, you... are you okay?"

I woke up, dripping with sweat, a flash of lightning passed by, and I saw Chengzhen standing in front of my couch, wet all over, with empty hands.

It turned out that it was just a dream.

"It's so late, why did His Majesty come here?" I got up and lit a candle, and saw that he was wearing a nightgown tightly against his body. I thought, he came here alone in the rain.

"Brother Huang, I want to sleep with you."

Under the candlelight, I saw him say this, and his long eyelashes were still wet with fine drops of water.

This kind of Chengzhen is a real child, so real, I can hardly remember the first two times I saw him.

He was dripping with water, and there was a pool of water under his feet, his bright eyes flickered with the candlelight...

My heart has already softened, but if someone comes over tomorrow morning, how can I explain it?

When he was struggling, he heard him say wearily: "It's Chengzhen who is being abrupt."

As he said that, he wanted to float away like a buoy, full of resentment... as if he had been beaten up by this king's vicious fat man, but he couldn't make a sound.
