Abandoned prince's favorite

The snow is deep.

The cleaned palace road revealed blue-gray bricks. Thin ice was formed on the bricks, and it was easy to slip when walking on them. A few court ladies in the distance all took small steps with their heads down, and then disappeared at the end of the bend. Road office.

Rows of icicles hang down from the vermilion courtyard wall, thick at the top and thin at the bottom, like daggers hanging upside down from the eaves.

The entire imperial palace was covered in this white snow.

Yu Fengbao stood in front of the East Palace Gate with a wooden and mother-of-pearl food box, and bowed to the guards guarding the gate.

The vermilion palace gate was already mottled, and even the gold-plated copper nails were missing a few. The heavy and majestic palace gate now looked like spots and acne on the face of an old man who was dying, with a heavy old look.

"go in!"

The guard said with a blank face.

The ear-piercing sound of the door hinge sounded, and the two palace doors were staggered with a small gap, as if opening it wider, some ghosts hiding behind the door would take the opportunity to come out.

As the saying goes, it is not surprising that many people are polite.

Yu Fengbao bowed again and squeezed in sideways.

He secretly rejoiced that he was thin enough, if he was replaced by a slightly stronger person, he might get stuck.

When the sound of locking came in, he clearly heard the conversation of the guards outside.

"Gamble or not?"

"Okay! I'll pay three taels of silver to bet that this little eunuch won't last a day."

"No, I also bet that the newcomer won't last a day."

"Aren't you cheating? I said it first."

……

Yu Fengbao hooked the corners of his lips.

These people are really boring, he hasn't lived enough, how could he die so easily?

It's a pity that he doesn't have any silver on him, otherwise he can make a bet with the two big guards outside, and he can still earn six taels of silver.

The courtyard was extremely quiet.

A foot-thick snow covered the entire courtyard, and even the sound of snow falling on the pine trees was extraordinarily loud.

With his head down, Yu Fengbao walked quickly along the Chaoshou corridor towards the main hall.

The former prince of the Eastern Palace did not know how powerful the people in the palace were, how they worshiped the high and trampled the low, but now Xie Chengan knows it better than anyone else.

Since he was imprisoned here.

The daily meals are all leftovers, sometimes even stinky swill, even if it is like this, there is only one meal a day.

Once he fell from the clouds into the soil, he became an ant that everyone could step on.

But even so, those people outside still wanted to get rid of him deliberately.

Is this not?

Another one came to die.

It was cloudy outside.

Xie Chengan was leaning on the soft couch by the window, holding a volume of books, reading under the light of the snow outside.

At the beginning, because of the unwarranted witchcraft, the emperor abolished him in anger, and the villain like a locust crossed the border, sweeping away the entire East Palace without leaving even a single needle.

Only these books, worthless in their eyes, remained.

With these books, the lonely time is easier to pass.

Hearing the commotion outside, Xie Chengan lowered his hands, put them casually on his knees, turned his head to look out, and saw a thin little eunuch walking quickly with his waist hooked.

"Your Highness, the slave has brought you food!"

When Yu Fengbao opened the dilapidated door and came in, he couldn't help shivering, it seemed colder inside than outside, and there was a pungent musty smell in the cold and damp.

No one answered.

He carried the food box and walked inside.

As soon as he entered the inner room, he was frightened by the people inside.

Sitting on a dirty, colorless soft couch was a young man with a pale complexion. The man's face was thin, and his nose was straight and his eyes were deep. The story book has become a fine ghost.

The man only wore a thin shirt, and his black ink-like long hair hung behind him, making his complexion a little whiter than the snow outside.

"Have you seen enough?"

The man's voice was slightly hoarse, deep and sweet.

Yu Fengbao subconsciously shook his head.

Then, under the dark eyes of the man, he knelt down straight down.

"Slave Yu Fengbao is newly sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve His Highness."

Xu hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, Xie Chengan's voice was a little uncomfortable, he put his hands around his lips and coughed a few times, and then it became smoother, he raised his eyebrows.

"Oh?"

As an abandoned prince who was demoted to a commoner, besides waiting to die, he also deserves someone to serve him?

Yu Fengbao lowered his body even lower, and he could clearly see the dust on the floor tiles.

"The servant's family is poor, and even the money for purging is owed in IOUs, and he has no money to bribe the father-in-law in charge, so he was accused of coming to the East Palace to serve His Highness."

Xie Chengan showed a mocking expression.

"It's a shame for you."

Yu Fengbao quickly shook his head, "I don't dare. The slave's hometown was in a severe drought, and the parents sent the slave to the palace to beg for food in order to survive. At least there is still a way to survive. Now I have no worries about food and clothing, and the slave is very content. I don't want wealth and glory. , just to live!"

What a "just to live".

Xie Chengan took a deep look at him.

"I'm hungry!"

Yu Fengbao hurriedly got up from the ground and opened the food box.

Two steamed buns and a stack of unidentifiable vegetable soup, with two vegetable leaves floating here and there.

"It's useless to be a slave, Your Highness will use it."

Yu Fengbao handed over the chopsticks, tore off a small piece of steamed bun, dipped it in some soup, and ate it first.

Xie Chengan took the chopsticks and stared at him meaningfully for a long time.

Yu Fengbao lowered his head.

"The servant rinses his mouth every day. Don't think it's dirty, Your Highness. The servant is just testing poison for His Highness."

Xie Chengan's eyes were like a knife, and he stretched out his hand to pinch his neck.

"How do you know that someone will harm me? Tell me, who sent you here? Father or imperial concubine Duan? Or those brothers of this palace?"

Yu Fengbao looked at his ferocious distorted face, took a step back to avoid it, and knelt down again.

"Your Highness should know that even if you kill the slave, other slaves will come in in the future. Just now, the slave also said that the slave just wants to live in peace and has nothing else to ask for."

The veins on the back of Xie Chengan's hands were bulging, and after being frozen in mid-air for a long time, they hung down again.

"Since you are so eager to show your loyalty, go and sweep the snow in the yard in a while."

Yu Fengbao lowered his eyes, responded in a low voice, and retreated respectfully.

The air outside was cold and fresh.

Yu Fengbao took a few deep breaths, stretched his waist, and this will be his "home" from now on.

Although there is still a crazy man living in it.

They are already deposed princes, but they still call themselves their own palaces, and they are not afraid of being overheard. It will inevitably cause another disturbance, so why bother?

The situation is better than people.

This man, he has to live and understand.

What's the use of guarding those false ones?

He called him His Highness just now, it was his duty as a slave, and it was also a polite way of saying, if you don't want to, this useless prince looks smart, but if you don't want to, he is not a fool.

Yu Fengbao stretched his waist, his habitually hooked back straightened slightly, and his black and white eyes instantly became alive.

The boots made a "creak" sound when they stepped on the snow.

Yu Fengbao became playful, his eyebrows and eyes slightly curved.

He put the heels of both feet together, then walked forward seriously for a while with his head lowered, then turned around to look at the footprints left in the snow that he had just walked through, and saw that the distance between the footprints seemed to be about the same, so he And continue to walk forward.

After Xie Chengan finished eating the steamed buns, he saw Yu Fengbao in the courtyard out of the corner of his eye. He had his arms outstretched. The eunuch's uniform on his body was a bit big and loose. When the wind blows, his back swells up like a It looked like he was carrying a heavy tortoise shell, and the belt around his waist made his waist as thin as a willow and his body as light as cotton.

From time to time, many footprints appear on the originally flat snow. The footprints are like bamboo leaves in a painting, adding a bit of color to the lonely snow scene.

The north wind was strong, but he seemed to be having a good time. After falling several times, he patted the snow on his body and stood up again.

Yu Fengbao had had enough fun, and felt a little better, thinking of the snow-sweeping task that Xie Chengan had entrusted to him.

He wandered around the East Palace for a long time like a treasure hunt before he found a broken broom in the corner.

Fortunately, when he was at home, in order to subsidize the family, he also helped his father make a broom, so he found some handy tools and repaired the broom in a few clicks.

When he went out to sweep the snow with a new broom, Yu Fengbao subconsciously looked in the direction of the main hall.

Their eyes collided, but Xie Chengan calmly withdrew his gaze.

Yu Fengbao shrugged his shoulders, what could he do with such a weird-tempered master who has no prince's life and a prince's disease?

I can still go, what's the matter?

He was a good hand at work when he was at home, no better than his two idle, lazy brothers. Once he started working, Yu Fengbao felt as if he had returned to Yujia Village.

Although it was hard at that time, at least the family was together.

But his parents cruelly sent him to the palace for the sake of the marriage of the two elder brothers.

I'm afraid that we will never see each other again in this life.

Yu Fengbao moved very quickly, and quickly cleared the road in the yard. Looking at the snow piled aside, he became interested again, and built two snowmen under the plum tree in the yard.

By the time all this is done, it's getting late.

Xie Chengan went to bed early, but the wet and thin quilt could not resist the ubiquitous cold, he curled up in the quilt.

"Your Highness, the slave you have given me is finished."

The room was very dark, and Xie Chengan couldn't see his appearance clearly, he only felt that the white breath he exhaled when he spoke seemed to be hot.

"Undress and go to bed!"

what?

Yu Fengbao exclaimed, and subconsciously covered his neckline tightly.

"How can a slave sleep in the same bed as a master, it's against the rules."

Xie Chengan's teeth were chattering from the cold: "This palace is the rule here, come up!"

"Yes!"

Yu Fengbao bowed his head and said yes.

In the past, my family was poor, and everyone slept together, but it was the first time I slept with a strange man.

Yu Fengbao took off his coat and got into bed, what did he suddenly think of?

"Your Highness, can you stop biting the servant, the servant is afraid of pain!"

Yu Fengbao had just finished his work, and his whole body was covered with heat.

Xie Cheng'an hesitated for a moment, then stuck to him.

"Shut up and sleep!"

The author has something to say: Xie Cheng'an: I just want to keep warm, don't think too much about it.

Yu Fengbao rolled his eyes: whoever is tempted first is a dog!

Xie Chengan: Woof woof!
