Chang'an ancient meaning

The servant who came with the board saw Princess Taiping, Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping's beloved son Xue Chongjian kneeling on the ground, they were all noble figures, and couldn't help becoming confused.Wanting to ask for an order, but seeing the unkind expression on the emperor's face, he thought it would be better not to say anything, hugging a board and huddling aside to watch the changes.Seeing that the emperor was still silent, Xue Chongjian looked at him with a hint of sarcasm in anger, knowing that he couldn't escape this meal.He couldn't guess how angry the emperor was, and how many boards he had to endure to calm her down?He thought of the tragedy of receiving the stick last time, shivered, and tried to comfort himself: no matter what happened, it should be lighter than last time.

He untied his belt and put it aside, then took off his outer robe, fell on the ground and reached in to undo his belt.He was already 16 years old this year, and he wanted to bare his buttocks in front of these maids. He couldn't help feeling hot, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the emperor.When the emperor saw that his eyes were still full of tears, his face was red and his mouth was pursed, he seemed to be begging for mercy, and his heart was filled with a rare sense of loss.If Taiping didn't kill Xue Huaiyi, she would probably kill Xue Huaiyi herself, right?Just like the day she promoted Junchen, she knew that she would kill him eventually.But when she saw Taiping's tears, she was still uncontrollably angry. Taiping was taking advantage of her indifference to Xue Huaiyi. She was borrowing a knife to kill someone. She played with her mother for the first time.

A layer of anger flashed from the queen's face, and Xue Chongjian's heart trembled again. Although he was wronged in every way, he didn't dare to delay any longer, so he had to push down the trousers little by little, and pulled up the lower edge of the jacket.It was warm and cold in early spring, although the sun was showing its warmth, the wind was still a bit chilly. Xue Chongjian lay on the grass, feeling the skin on his buttocks trembling and shivering, and couldn't help but tighten his legs.With a blushing face, he turned around and ordered to the waiter holding the stick: "Hit hard, you will not be forgiven." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes on the back of his hand, and when his cheek touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, his heart suddenly moved, and he put his hands flat on the ground, doing Show a respectful appearance of being beaten.

The attendant who was sent to be in charge of the punishment had never seen such a scene. Some people got down on their own, took off by themselves, and gave orders by themselves, and it was the person who was beaten who made the beating harder. It is true that I have not seen this kind of job for more than ten years. The wonders that arrived.He didn't know whether he could fight or not, so he took two steps forward on tiptoe, and wanted to ask the emperor a few times, but seeing the emperor and the princess sitting and kneeling, they didn't say a word, and swallowed the words again.

The emperor looked down at his grandson tossing about there, not knowing whether it was out of anger or amused, he clearly knew that he was putting on an act, but he was a little naive and devout.Xue Chongjian's body is at its best when a young man is young, his skin is as white as pearls, and the two narrow jade mountains are raised up, because of the cold and grievances, he would not be honest when he lay there, shaking uneasily from time to time, like Begging for mercy.The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched slightly, but turned into a cold snort.

She used to have a lot of grandchildren, but every time Li Chengqi and others saw each other, she always felt disgusted and alienated. The nephews of the Wu family, such as Wu Yanxiu and others, were far away after all. And not enough intimacy.Over the years, Taiping was the one who really took pleasure at her knees, and later, only this grandson.But he is growing up, now he is helping his mother, and in the future he will help his uncle, his cousin, he also has the blood of the Li family.

The emperor glanced at the servant who was in a dilemma, and sneered: "He told you to beat him, you can just hit him." The servant was relieved when he heard this sentence.Carrying the board to Xue Chongjian's side, he weighed six or seven minutes of strength, and hit him on the buttock.

Xue Chongjian trembled all over, and his ass, which had been frozen for half a day while waiting, was suddenly burned like a fire.It was the first time he was hit by a board and no one restrained him. In the severe pain, he couldn't help his waist and limbs dodging to the side. When he raised his hand, he almost went back to cover the pain. Then he suddenly remembered that the beating was done by himself. If he dodged, it would be obvious I couldn't come out sincerely, and I was busy trying my best to hold back.He just took a breath and lay down again, but the other board fell down again, almost still hitting the place where the staff fell just now. A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xue Chongjian's back in an instant, and he gritted his teeth so hard that he didn't cry out.He thought that after the big battle last time, he could finally be stronger against such an ordinary board, but now he realizes that it is of no use.It turns out that every time I get beaten, I can feel the pain fresh every time, and I can't expect half of my flesh to grow.

Xue Chongjian had only been hit three or four times before he felt unbearable pain in his right buttock. He wished he could find a place to hide this half of his body and let him beat the other half first to ease the pain. Always in one place.He glanced at the shadow cast by the man on the ground, and was startled suddenly. This man was standing on his left. If he hit as usual, the head of the stick would naturally be on the right. He couldn't open his mouth to ask people to move the place, so he could only hope. To give him some hints, when the board fell again, he twisted his waist and squeezed out a soft sound from between his teeth: "Ouch!"

The person holding the stick was originally the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which had a relatively low position. In the past, even the emperor and princess did not dare to look up.Now that he was suddenly pulled to this place with a treacherous atmosphere, and he was beating such a big person, he himself was trembling three times, fearing that the emperor would be angry if it was mild, and fearing that the princess would turn to him for revenge.Hearing Xue Chongjian's groan, his hands trembled first, but he didn't dare to use any more force, and quietly pushed the stick forward two inches, so that the head of the stick that was stronger was stretched out, and only the body of the stick fell flat on Xue Chongjian's buttocks.

Xue Chongjian suddenly felt that this stroke was much less painful, and his voice was not as clear and crisp as the previous strokes, and he was hit by another stroke in a daze, only to realize that it was not the person who understood his deep meaning, but was clever enough to let the water go.He was really angry and cursed inwardly: he doesn't even know how to change things, he deserves to spend his whole life in this lowly business!In his heart, he wished to play lightly, but the current two blows are too fake. If the emperor finds out, his suffering will be in vain. The two evils are the lesser, before he falls for the third time. , then yelled and cursed: "In front of Zhai's family, do you dare to deceive the king! Why don't you fight me!"

When the emperor arrived here, he couldn't bear it any longer, and couldn't help but smile lightly, but the palm palm trembled, breaking into a cold sweat from fright, he quickly retracted the board again, and the next board was added on purpose. A little bit of strength.Xue Chongjian's right buttock felt as if it had been scorched by a branding iron, and the stars exploded in front of his eyes. He scolded this person thousands of times in his heart, but he had to endure it.For the first time, he was so touched that he couldn't scream, and forced his knees to the ground to restrain the urge to get up and escape, but the pain was suffocating in his chest, like a snowball rolling bigger and bigger.

But after three or four blows, Xue Chongjian's right buttock turned into a brilliant red, with bruises appearing faintly in the swelling, although the left side received a little less force, after this time of beating, it also turned the color of peach blossoms.Although he gritted his teeth and refused to cry out the pain, he refused to hold back the tears, sobbing and weeping.The emperor knew that the beating was not considered light, and it was rare for the first time to see Hua Nu being beaten so honestly, and he felt a little love and pity in his heart.She wanted to teach Taiping a lesson, but she still kept a cold face and said nothing.

After a few more counts, Xue Chongjian had endured so much that his bones were sore. He started to count silently, and every time the board was lifted up, he hoped that the emperor would hurry up and stop drinking. Well, I forgot the number.It's already slow for one person to hold the staff, and it's like years for him to lie on the ground, he feels that he has been beaten a lot, and he doesn't know how much more he will suffer.He was trembling with pain, his body couldn't help struggling on the ground, Taiping saw the raised scars on his son's buttocks with blurred tears, his heart ached, and finally he couldn't help crying: "Mother, my daughter knows it's wrong." If you want to hit, hit your daughter!"

Xue Chongjian wished that his mother could knock over the palm board with a single slap, but he still had some clarity in his heart, knowing that if he didn't use this trump card, he would really not be able to hold on, so he choked up and stretched out his left hand, saying: "Grandma, grandma Are you still angry? Ouch!" He couldn't clenched his teeth as soon as he spoke, gasped a few times, and burst into tears, saying, "Ouch! Tell him to switch sides..."

The emperor saw that his face was bruised on the ground, and his face was covered with tears as soon as he washed away. He was teased by him and smiled again, and then saw the string of bright red beads on his wrist, he was stunned, consciously It would be very boring to argue with another child, so he shouted: "Okay! Let's do a show, go home and do it with your mother!" When the director heard this Yu Zhilun's voice, he felt relieved and almost cried, so he quickly put it away. He took off the board and stood aside, not daring to wipe off the sweat on his face, just lowered his head desperately, hoping that the princess would not remember his face.

Xue Chongjian was paralyzed on the ground, just glad that he escaped from death, but when he heard the second half of the emperor's words, his heart tightened again, and he raised his head and cried, "No, it's not...Huanu is sincerely trying to let Grandma calm down. If Grandma doesn't believe it, let him Just hit it..." The emperor frowned and waved to Taiping, Taiping hurriedly walked forward, the emperor gently stroked Taiping's eyebrow makeup in the shape of osmanthus leaves, although Taiping was looking at his mother, his heart felt as if he was tightly held by a hand I pinched it so hard that I wanted to shed tears and blood.She heard the emperor whisper to himself, "You are all grown up—take him back."

The emperor leaned forward, Taiping supported his mother's arm, the emperor slowly pushed his daughter's hands down, exerted strength on his legs, and was surprised that he had been sitting for a long time, and it was difficult to stand up for a while.The hands tightly clutching the armrests of the sitting bed were covered with wrinkles, showing weak tendons of resentment and unwillingness.This is different from the nostalgic hand hanging on the water in the dream, and it is also different from the charming and longing hand that once caressed the bodies of Li Shimin and Li Zhi.

She raised her eyes slowly and looked straight at the Ningbi Pool where the water is slippery in Boming. A few white water gulls were passing by lightly, touching the water from time to time to test the water temperature, and she could vaguely see the quiet and undulating lines of Beiman Mountain. , exactly the same as Daming Palace and Taiye Pond in the dream.It's just Xu Hui in the dream, those young friends who accompanied her into the palace, most of them disappeared under the loess.

Shangguan Wan'er, who was kneeling by the side, saw the clue, and hurriedly wiped away her tears and came forward to help her. The empress glanced at her, and sighed softly in her heart, she couldn't hide and couldn't leave these people.With the support of Shangguan Wan'er, the emperor stood up and walked a few steps slowly before returning to normal.The spring breeze gently swayed her robe sleeves, and the nearly seventy-year-old queen raised her head slightly, as if she wanted to accept the gentle spring light.

Xue Chongjian did not come to the courtyard for several days, which was unprecedented.Li Chengqi went to the courtyard every day to look forward to it, but he didn't dare to ask Zhang Lin to inquire. He was just worried that it was Hua Nu's behavior of climbing over the wall for a year, which was finally banned by the emperor.He watched the willow tree gradually sprout buds like young girl's eyebrows, and sporadic little flowers suddenly bloomed under the wall. He was shocked that time was so fast, the spring scene was fleeting, and time wasted. He had nothing to do but wait. Law.

He was pacing in the courtyard that morning, and Li Longye was still sharp-eyed, pointing at the wall and shouting: "Brother, Cousin Hua Nu is here!" When he came over, he said in a trembling voice: "But what happened?" Xue Chongjian smiled and said: "It's hard to explain, I'll tell you after I enter the room." Li Chengqi became more and more anxious, and stood underneath and said: "Be careful." Xue Chongjian was as usual Jumping down, when he landed, the force from his leg was transmitted to his buttocks, affecting the injured part, but he was still a little sore, and his footing was unstable for a while, so he hurriedly turned his body to one side, letting the left side touch the ground first, and sat down on the ground with an ouch.

Li Chengqi was taken aback, and he and Li Longye stepped forward to support him, and said anxiously: "What's wrong with you?" Xue Chongjian smiled and said, "It's all right." He untied the paper bag at his waist, handed it to Li Longye, and said, "This is dried swan meat. Go break up with your brothers..." Li Longye said: "Brother Huanu, where have you been these few days, my elder brother is dying of anxiety."

Xue Chongjian turned around and saw that Li Chengqi's fair face was suddenly flushed, and his heart moved. He didn't take his little injury to heart, but suddenly changed his mind, so he gritted his teeth and took a few breaths of cold air. Softly: "Grandma beat me up, and my legs and feet are inconvenient, please help me in." Li Chengqi was taken aback, seeing a few servants in the courtyard poking their heads, he didn't dare to ask further questions, and helped him to stand up staggeringly.Seeing Li Chengqi's concerned eyes, Xue Chongjian felt warm at first, then secretly complacent, grinned more and more, and was limped into the room supported by Li Chengqi.

Li Chengqi carefully placed Xue Chongjian on his bed, and hurriedly went to the cabinet to look for medicine. Xue Chongjian suppressed a smile, and advised him, "Don't worry about it, I used the medicine at my mother's place." Li Chengqi asked Ah Luo to go out and lock her up He just sat down at the door and said softly, "What are you doing here with your injuries?" Xue Chongjian didn't know why, but when he saw Li Chengqi like this, he felt an indescribable joy in his heart, so he raised his brows even more and moaned. : "I'm afraid you are in a hurry."

Seeing his expression, Li Chengqi was still in great pain. Thinking of how he climbed up such a high wall with his injuries just now, his heart felt more and more pity.He carefully opened Xue Chongjian's robe, and seeing that there was no blood seeping, he breathed a sigh of relief, and asked: "How many beatings? Why did you beating?" Xue Chongjian said vaguely: "Dozens of boards were beaten..." Li Chengqi's hands trembled. , with a steady mind, he went to untie his belt, and after a few times of hard work, he said that sentence: "If... the house is not allowed, you will not come here in the future." Xue Chongjian shook his head and said: "Who doesn't allow it, I All come."

Li Chengqi's lips moved and he was speechless. It turned out that the year's longing had finally come to an end. Thinking of the word "future", his breathing stopped for a moment.He grasped Xue Chongjian's trouser waist, not knowing whether the wound would stick to his clothes, he took it off a little bit carefully, and felt that there was no hindrance, then lightly took it off another inch, revealing a purple mark on the peak of his right buttock, which was not broken The skin, and even the swelling has disappeared, it looks like a piece of purple chalcedony is hidden in the white jade.Li Chengqi still couldn't believe it, so he took Xue Chongjian's trousers down to his knees, and saw that his thighs were as clean as jade, not to mention scars, not even a single blemish.

It's not that Li Chengqi hasn't been beaten before, it's clear at a glance that the scar is not serious, it's definitely not as difficult as Xue Chongjian just before, he was stunned to realize that he was teasing him, he took a long breath, and patted Xue Chongjian's buttocks again She slapped her face and said angrily, "You're teasing me with this!" Xue Chongjian laughed and said "Oops", pulled up his pants and sat up, and said with a smile: "I really didn't coax you, I beat you for twenty boards. But this board is worth it, my mother and I killed Fatty Xue." Li Chengqi was stunned, and Xue Chongjian explained the cause and effect in detail. After hearing this, Li Chengqi pondered for a while, and said: "My aunt is still in a hurry."

Xue Chongjian said: "My mother has been planning for a year, and then she gathered many opportunities in one place. If she doesn't do anything, he will win back Grandma's heart. It will be difficult to kill him. Now Grandma is missing both Lai Junchen and Fatty Xue. You little man, Di Renjie and other ministers slowly said, maybe in a few days, grandma will let you out." Li Chengqi smiled and said: "I am here, and it is the same if you come to see me every day. Scare me with such things again."

Xue Chongjian shook his head and said: "Not enough, how can it be enough? I want to eat with you, hunt together, read books together, watch you draw pictures, listen to you play the piano, face each other day and night. I don't want to sit down in a hurry, stay for an hour and a half .”

There was a buzzing in Li Chengqi's ears, and Xue Chongjian told him that in the glistening soup pool, the two of us would never be separated.It's just that after four years, when he heard the same words, his heart beat wildly, with a hint of shock and pain.He glanced at Xue Chongjian, saw that he looked sullen, seemingly unintentional, and only hoped that he was thinking too much, so he sighed softly.
