On the risks and benefits of falling in love with a prince

Zhao Tang is a man beyond gold and jade: with sword eyebrows and star eyes, he hides eight feet tall, and if he wears beautiful clothes, he will definitely be regarded as a nobleman.Unfortunately, he is just a thug and prostitute.

He worked as a prostitute, and his son inherited his mother's business.When my mother was still alive, she often boasted that she was the daughter of a county lord, a rich lady, and she became a prostitute only after being implicated by others.After Zhao Tang was born, her appearance gradually deteriorated. She moved from Baihualou to a private house and then to the street. The mother and son depended on each other for life, but smiling all day long could sweeten the poor life.Zhao Tang can sing, write, punch, and recite "The Analects of Confucius". His patrons praise him for his ability to do great things in the future.

When Zhao Tang was 11 years old, his mother fell ill, and the disease was very serious.

He cried and went to find his mother's friend—a friend named Liu Zhenzhen, who was also a poor prostitute.She dug out the money at the bottom of the box and took Zhao Tang to buy brown sugar eggs.When she arrived at Zhao's house, she sent Zhao Tang to cook soup, sat by her mother's bed, and began to complain: "As soon as you were pregnant with this little evil, I persuaded you to beat him, but you didn't listen; when the little evil was two years old, I asked You sell your human teeth, but you don’t sell them. What do you do now? You’re going to die yourself, so how do you raise the little bastard? Who would want an 11-year-old boy!”

Mother cried, Liu Zhenzhen took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears: "At this point, there is only one way to survive. The little villain looks good, let him sell it too. Men are valuable, relying on him, you can grab medicine and eat."

Mom cried: "You let me...let me... think about it for two days."

Zhao Tang came in with brown sugar eggs and put the bowl on the table.Liu Zhenzhen glanced sideways at Zhao Tang, and said with a smile, "Little villain, come to Baihualou? The godmother will introduce you a gentle and considerate guest."

Zhao Tang stared at the big toe protruding from the upper of the shoe, and said in a low voice, "Mom, have some soup."

Liu Zhenzhen spat at him, got up and left.

Brown sugar eggs can cure hunger, but not illness, and my mother is getting more and more depressed.

Zhao Tang didn't care about playing, and often hid outside the door and cried, thinking of the little male prostitute he had seen.The little male prostitutes are all painted and squirmed like monsters.He doesn't want to be a monster, but it's not up to him.

A few days later, Liu Zhenzhen came again, and her mother said, "Zhao Tang is the grandson of the county marquis, a son of a noble family, and he will do great things in the future. He can't do this job!"

Liu Zhenzhen was so angry that she pointed at her mother and cursed.Tired of scolding, I hugged my mother and cried again.A day later, she asked someone to deliver a package, which contained a silver bracelet, a pair of gold earrings, and three hundred dollars.

Zhao Tang was very happy knowing that he didn't need to be a monster.But from this day on, my mother does not eat or take medicine.

Three days later, in the evening, my mother put on the most beautiful clothes, asked Zhao Tang to borrow a shovel, and went out on her back. The 11-year-old Zhao Tang is already very tall, like a little adult.He carried his scrawny mother on his back like a baby.He walked out of the house and walked to the mass grave outside Linzhang City.

Mom told him to stop and dig a hole.After the hole was dug, my mother lay down in it.

Zhao Tang was terrified, squatting by the pit and crying loudly.

Mom said: "Hey, why are you crying? Mom is going to see your grandfather. Your grandfather is a county lord. Mom is going to enjoy the blessing." She trembled, her eyes began to cloud, and her skinny hands stretched out from the pit. , stroking Zhao Tang's face, shoulders, arms, hands, over and over again.She intermittently said: "You are a young master, you are the grandson of Lord Hou, you must be upright..."

Zhao Tang collapsed on the ground, crying loudly.

Zhao Tang buried his mother, cleaned up after returning home, sold his valuables, and left Linzhang County with a pack on his back.In Linzhang, everyone knew that he was the son of a whore, and he couldn't be upright.

He was still young and naive, thinking that with his cleverness and dexterity, he would be able to accomplish great things.He still doesn't know that everything in the world is distributed according to his father.If he doesn't have a father, he has nothing.At the beginning, he couldn't even find a job to make ends meet, so he begged all the way, from Linzhang to Luoyang, a thousand miles away, starving.

Luoyang is an imperial city, rich in things and people, so there should be a job for him.But as a clerk, he needs to be a guarantor, as a beggar, he needs to be a leader, and as a coolie, he needs to be a broker. He has nothing, so he can only lower his head like a chicken, and walk around the city every day, picking up some edible things from the ground.His stomach was gradually swollen, his face was sallow, and he was starving to death.

On this day, he was lying under the wall, pressing his belly bulging due to hunger boredly, when he suddenly thought that there were still two bowls of rice in the world, which were prepared for a fatherless person like him: one was for prostitution, and the other was for food. Work hard.

At that time, a kind of entertainment was popular in Luoyang, watching human and animal fights, the bloodier the better.This entertainment was invented by the emperor, first spread to the dignitaries, and then to the common people.So a Colosseum was built in the south of Luoyang City to recruit homeless people to fight wild dogs.

Zhao Tang went there and earned two bowls of millet porridge for a game, but he became popular—he was young and beautiful, with agility, and those who liked to beat dogs and those who liked to play with children came to see him.

The powerful man put pressure on the owner of the Colosseum.The host withheld Zhao Tang's money and food, forcing him to accompany the guests.

Zhao Tangning refused to die and hid for three months.

Three months later, winter came.He was still wearing straw sandals, and his right big toenail was frozen off.The master gave him a pair of cotton boots, what a pair of cotton boots!Black uppers, snow-white layered soles, putting your feet in like putting your feet on the stove.Zhao Tang put on the cotton boots and refused to take them off.The host carried him to the guest's bed, and he finished the first time in cotton boots, blood soaking the sheets.

If there is one thing, there are two, and if there is two, there are three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.

Zhao Tang was fighting and receiving guests at the same time, growing from a beautiful boy to a beautiful young man, still as popular as ever.In the past ten years, the emperor's habit has become more and more evil, relying on people to kill people.The Colosseum keeps up with fashion and introduces the drama of life and death.Zhao Tang is tall and agile, with the strength of a tiger. He has fought in more than [-] battles without ever being defeated.

He thought about his skills, if he changed his career to become a killer, he would definitely earn more.

One evening, when Zhao Tang returned to his residence after a game, he saw some thugs bullying a homeless boy.

The young man was about fourteen or five years old, with mediocre facial features, and a pair of charming red phoenix eyes.His clothes were made of silk, but they were dirty and torn, and his hair was tied in a bun, but the hairpin was gone and was fixed with a twig.He curled up and resisted feebly.

A thug grabbed his hair and held up a bun: "Child, let me fuck your ass, and I'll give you this."

The young man was forced to raise his head and stare at the thug: "The law of this dynasty is to seduce a woman from a good family, and I can move a thousand miles with two hundred sticks. I am not yet sixteen, and I am equal to a woman from a good family. Aren't you afraid of lawsuits?"

The thugs put the Wowotou back into their arms and slapped it on both ears, intending to turn seduction into rape.The boy yelled and resisted: "The sky is bright and the sky is bright... Is there any law for the king!"

Seeing that the young man was pedantic and cute, Zhao Tang laughed loudly, stepped forward and pushed the thug away: "Wang Fa, have you seen Wang Fa? What does Wang Fa look like? Is it as good-looking as me?"

The thugs laughed loudly and let go of the boy.The young man stared blankly at Zhao Tang, then blushed suddenly, bowed his head and did not speak.

A slapstick said: "Why, Brother Zhao, have you taken a fancy to this kid?"

Zhao Tang smiled and said, "It's too ugly, I don't like it."

The thug said: "Ugly is ugly, as long as it can be used."

Zhao Tang smiled and said: "Forget it, looking at him like this, he might have escaped from a rich family. Are you really not afraid of his family coming to look for him?"

The thug hesitated and left.Zhao Tang was about to leave, and the young man suddenly said, "Thank you... benefactor, dare to ask benefactor... Gao's name?"

Zhao Tang sneered and entered the room.

After a while, the rice in the Colosseum was cooked. After Zhao Tang took the rice, he saw the young man still under the tree. He moved his nose and smelled the aroma of millet porridge and meat sauce in the air.He swallowed, his stomach rumbling.

The previous thugs came again, tempting him with millet porridge and meat sauce.The young man said: "A gentleman doesn't eat cheap food, don't think about it."

The thug said: "What borrowed food, it's money for whoring, you don't need to pay it back."

The young man suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleamed brightly, with the air of a person who has been in power for a long time without anger and prestige.The thug took two steps back in fright, touched his head and left.

Zhao Tang's heart moved, he smiled and waved to the boy: "I invite you, do you want to eat?"

The young man looked wary.Zhao Tang's smile faded: "If you don't eat, you'll be tired." The young man hurriedly stood up and said, "I'll eat...thank you, benefactor."

Zhao Tang then led the boy into the house, which only had a bed and a wooden box.The bed can be used for sleeping and sitting, and the wooden box can be used as a dining table.The young man knelt beside the box, waiting for Zhao Tang to serve the meal, without any sharp eyesight; when eating, he swallowed sips with an elegant posture.

Zhao Tang saw that he was a young master, and when he questioned his surname, he hesitated for a long time: "My name is...Ruirui, what about you?"

Zhao Tang said with a smile, "My name is Zhao Tang. I'm the grandson of the Marquis of Jichuan County. My family has fallen, so I come here to beg for food."

The young man was in awe: "It turns out that the benefactor is a gentry!"

Zhao Tang grinned and nodded, feeling indescribably satisfied.

After dinner, Zhao Tang sent Rui Rui to wash the dishes.Ruirui picked up the empty bowl and ran out, washed for more than half an hour, and was soaked when she came back.Zhao Tang was about to laugh at him, when suddenly there was a flash of lightning outside the house, thunder rolled, and it rained heavily in an instant.

Zhao Tang sighed: "Stay for one night?"

Ruirui nodded repeatedly and wanted to salute again, but Zhao Tang stopped him impatiently.

When the raindrops were a little light, Ruirui ran out to fetch water, and when she came back, she squatted in the corner of the room and scrubbed.He wandered for a long time, his body was covered with mud, and his white skin was immediately exposed where the loofah was rubbed.The ugly mud boy turned into a white jade doll after being washed to the end.Bai Yuwa let herself dry, crawled shyly onto Zhao Tang's bed, and said in a low voice, "I will repay your benefactor's great kindness in the future."

Zhao Tang patted his buttocks and said with a smile, "How do I report it?"

Ruirui clutched her buttocks, panicking: "I know the five classics and six arts, the Xiongnu and Baiyue languages, and I can write official documents of the court. After I settle down outside, I will come back to repay my benefactor..."

Zhao Tang smiled and said, "Will you go to heaven?"

Ruirui shook her head in surprise.

Zhao Tang said: "You definitely will. At the age of 16, you already know the five classics and six arts. What's so difficult about going to heaven?"

Ruirui lay down and said, "Five classics and six arts, you can do it with diligence. But how can God learn it?"

On the pillow, the little face close at hand is very cute, Zhao Tang squeezed Ruirui's cheek, and pulled it to the side: "I can't go to heaven, I don't have a good father, and I still want to live and work?"

Rui Rui's face was pinched and deformed, but her eyes were still serious: "Yes."

Zhao Tang said: "Gamble? If you can live and live, I will call you father. If you can't, you are my little slave."

Ruirui said: "This is not the behavior of a gentleman, don't gamble."

Zhao Tang felt bored, turned over and fell asleep.

When the rain stopped the next day, Zhao Tang went to the kitchen and stole two vegetable cakes to make rations for Rui Rui.Ruirui put the vegetable cake in her arms, and said goodbye to Zhao Tang solemnly.

Afterwards, Zhao Tang beat the dog and slept with him as usual, and almost forgot about this person.Half a month later, one night, Zhao Tang undressed and was about to sleep when he heard a knock on the door.He opened the door and saw that Ruirui was standing outside the door.

Ruirui is dirtier and thinner than when I first met her, her silk clothes have been replaced by commoner clothes, and her hair is full of lice.Those charming red phoenix eyes tilted and fell into Zhao Tang's arms.
