this is a moth

Autumn is in full bloom, and the gentle wind sweeps across the lotus pond, and there is a faint wave of water in the pond. I paused with my hands behind my back, and after a while, I turned my head and asked Chengyin in a low voice: "Your Highness, have you heard of Meng Po Tang?"

Cheng Yin shook his head.

That's right, the prince raised in the deep palace has probably never heard of these gossip.I smiled and said, "Your Highness, I have never heard of it before. This way, I can speak nonsense boldly."

Suddenly there was a gust of wind, and a yellowed leaf fell on my shoulder, and I gently picked it up: "Your Highness, you see, when a leaf withers, it will fall to the ground and turn into mud, and most people become ghosts after death. Before, there was Guichati, who was waiting in chains, and there was a young man named Feng Yan, who died with hatred and died with regret..."

When the ghost messenger came to seduce him, he was taken aback by his eyes. Due to the deep resentment, Feng Yan's whole body was covered with bloody red light, and he could be picked out even if he was stuck in a pile of dead ghosts.

Once they enter the gate of the underworld, no matter they die in their twilight years or in their infancy, all the little ghosts will turn into their middle-aged appearance, but Feng Yan has not changed, he is still a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy ghost.

The ghost messenger felt that something was wrong, so he dragged Feng Yan out alone, and was about to drag him to ask Lord Yan for instructions, but on the way, he bumped into the Crown Prince of the Underworld, His Highness.

Perhaps out of curiosity, His Royal Highness detained Feng Yan and kept him in his own room.The ghost messenger knew that Yan Wang and his son had the habit of eating little ghosts, so they just assumed that His Royal Highness accepted Feng Yan as a side dish, and that was how it ended.

His Majesty is a real dandy who is always in a hurry. In private, he often keeps little ghosts overnight, and the ones who stay are male ghosts with good facial features. They all go to good people, and they will not worry about food and drink in the next life.In this way, he can be regarded as good at the beginning and good at the end, with the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

He took Feng Yan away, and at first he just wanted to keep it for fun. As the prince of the ghost world, those little ghosts were all obedient to him, but Feng Yan was different, he always looked at him with such sharp eyes , the whole body is full of vermilion light that can never be scattered.

His Royal Highness tied Feng Yan into a rice dumpling and threw it in the bedroom next door. He just occasionally thought of such a brat, so he went to talk to him, but no matter what, Feng Yan still looked half-dead, twisting his neck in silence. language.Even if His Highness moved a foot towards him, Feng Yan wished he could move back a foot, and as time passed, he would no longer come to him.

Once His Highness drank too much wine and wanted to tear off Feng Yan's robe, but he refused.His Highness was furious immediately, raised his big hand, and the Fuhunsuo was instantly retracted into his sleeve. He turned around, leaving only one sentence: "Get lost!"

Feng Yan, who was free, did not leave, and in the following days, he was still floating in that bedroom.Often at night, you can hear the sound of clouds and rain next door.

Speaking of this, Cheng Yin raised his head and looked at me: "Brother Huang, you are wrong, it is the sound of wind and rain." As he said this, he frowned, thought for a moment with his hands behind his back, and said: "I want to come to the ghost world to be better than the human world." It’s still worse, the bedroom of His Majesty’s majesty is actually leaking wind and rain, it’s really embarrassing.”

My old face turned red again, Cheng Yin was still a child, so I told him what to do.The king doesn't want to say any more, but this child is relentless, grabbing at the corner of my clothes and refusing to let go.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat." Following the prestige, it was Cheng Yin's companion, a young eunuch who stuttered. He usually only spoke a few words, and the problem of stuttering was not obvious.

As he spoke, his gaze first stared at my crumpled corner of my clothes, and then gradually shifted to this king's face, with a very strange look on his face.

"Your Highness, please go back." Companion said again.

Hearing this, Cheng Yin let go of his hand, and sighed: "Okay, then I will continue to talk when the emperor is free." After finishing speaking, he returned to the East Palace with his companions.

Not far away, the bustling garden just now was empty. I stood by the pond, sprinkled some broken cakes into the pond from time to time, watched those koi carp tirelessly for food, gradually lost interest, and simply threw the koi away. The remaining half of the cake was thrown away.

Looking back, beside the rockery, Chengzhen looked at this side with his hands up and down.

I was about to go up to say hello, but I saw him tilt his head indifferently and say something to his followers, then turned around and walked away.

Shaoqing, the attendant came over and bowed his head and said: "My lord, my highness asked the younger one to come to you, saying that he heard that the Thai palace is about to be completed. Earlier, my highness promised you that he would give you something. Think about what you want."

I raised my eyes and saw that cold figure calmly turning into the deep place.

That day, the king's politeness was taken seriously by him, and his sincerity was treated as a polite way by me.

I suddenly realized that it is good to deal with real people, so I nodded and said: "Thank you for the king first, and tell him that the king wants the jade rabbit from before."

..........

Ever since I met Chengzhen by the pool that day, I haven't seen him again for several days.

Until two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, when I was about to move out of the palace, Cheng Yin personally brought a bag of snacks from the Western Regions to see me off.Fei pestered me and told me to continue the story, so I said haha, and changed the topic: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has seen His Highness recently? I heard that His Highness was ill a few days ago, I don't know how he is doing now." .”

Cheng Yin shook his head: "Brother Huang doesn't know something, but my father just proposed marriage for Brother Da Huang."

Hearing this, I was dumbfounded, recalling what the emperor asked me in the royal study that day, now, I feel more and more pitiful for Chengzhen.

According to the law of this dynasty, after the prince gets married, he should be crowned king within half a year, and he should also move out of the palace as soon as possible.Not surprisingly, according to the usual practice, Chengzhen, as the eldest son of the concubine, should be sent to Jiangnan.

Chang'an, Jiangnan, just a 13-year-old child.

"Good thing, good thing..." I read.

When I first arrived at the Thai Palace, everything was very strange.The bed is made of fragrant wood, not as hard as the jade bed in the palace, but it is more comfortable to sleep at night.

During the day, I received many guests, all of whom came to give gifts. There were several waves in the morning, several waves in the afternoon, and it was endless. It was only at night that I got clean, and it rained heavily again, so I ordered people to close the door early.

The sky was dark, I sent people down, drank a small wine alone, it was comfortable, but the alcohol was too light, I started to faint after a few sips, I fell on the table, and heard someone calling me: "Brother Huang."

I hummed, raised my head in a daze, and three Chengzhen poked obliquely in front of my eyes: "Your Highness, don't turn around, I'm dizzy." After speaking, I lay back on my stomach again and continued to sleep.

When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on the bed, and Xiaodouzi brought me hangover soup.

"I was probably drunk last night, but I dreamed that the eldest prince came to look for me."

Xiaodouzi's eyes trembled, and he said: "My lord, it's not a dream, it's real, last night the great majesty came down to knock on the door, the rain was so loud that no one heard it, so he climbed over the wall and came over.

The butler regarded him as a thief, but luckily the younger one was there at the time, and brought him to see you, but you were too drunk, and you couldn't wake up no matter how you shook it.His Highness left when he saw this, his body was drenched when he left, and he refused to ask him to change his clothes. "

There is such a thing, I rubbed the center of my brows, and asked: "Why is Your Highness looking for me?"

"The little one asked, but His Highness didn't say anything."

I groaned, and asked again: "Do you know who the eldest prince's biological mother is?" It was not easy to say these things in the palace before, but I felt freer when I was out of the palace.

"The little one has been mentioned by the seniors, and I heard that the lady who seems to be His Majesty's sleeping officer."

I put down the empty bowl in my hand and said, "What kind of job is this?"

Xiaodouzi rubbed her hands and said shyly, "Your Highness really doesn't know?"

I shook my head.

"It's... well, it's... how should I put it, the lady who is the Pope's son's concubine." After speaking, he blushed.

Before the prince got married, there were female officials to teach him, and the prince acted with them. In this way, the wedding night would be more calm.However, the female officials will be forcibly fed with avoidance soup afterwards, and they will not be allowed to give birth to imperial heirs anyway. In this way, it is a taboo for the royal family that Chengzhen's biological mother secretly conceived a baby.

No wonder the emperor was so guarded against him both openly and secretly.This point, even I can see it, presumably Chengzhen should know it too.

"Little Douzi, you will accompany me into the palace for the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet tomorrow. I will explain something to you clearly, and you will do as I say tomorrow." I said.
