Prince is good or bad

On the official road to the capital, a crude carriage rolled forward. The man sitting in front of the carriage was about [-] years old, dressed in flowing white clothes, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome and handsome, not like an ordinary coachman.

"Stop...stop!" There was a sudden exclamation in the car, and the carriage stopped immediately.

"Quan'er, you're awake." The man in white showed joy, turned around and opened the curtain, and looked inside.

I saw a boy in yellow sitting up anxiously in the car. He was about thirteen or fourteen years old, and his round and fair face was full of panic.

Seeing the man in white, the boy blinked his clear eyes, turned his panic just now, and let out a cry of joy.

"Father!" He threw himself into the arms of the white-clothed man, flattened his mouth in grievance, "Quan'er and Master are being bullied!"

"Quan'er was frightened, it's all because Little Prince Mu didn't know the severity and hurt you." The man in white touched his head and smiled slightly.

"Father, where is my master? Have you seen him?" Ye Xiuquan couldn't help becoming nervous when he thought of his master being taken away before he fell into a coma.

His parents died early. After losing his parents, he has been by his master Qiu Lichen's side. The master and apprentice depend on each other for life. He also learned a lot of medical skills from the master, and he has long regarded him as his second father——

Unexpectedly, a man who claimed to be a prince came and brought his master to captivity, and beat him unconscious!Damn it!

"Your master is fine. Little Prince Mu asked him to go down the mountain to treat the old Princess Mu. He also promised that I would not hurt your master." Looking at the tears in the eyes of the adoptive son whom he had not seen for a long time, Feng Wanqiu's eyes were full of tears. With a look of pity, he softly comforted him for a while.

Quan'er is a kind-hearted and intelligent child. Back then, he went up the mountain to thank Qiu Lichen for saving his father's life. When he saw this child, he fell in love with him and adopted him as his adopted son. In the next few years, he would occasionally take Quan'er down the mountain to play. , love him like his own child.

"Father, where are you taking Quan'er?" Ye Xiuquan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Master was fine, and only then did he have the heart to look at the surrounding scenery.

Although the master seldom goes down the mountain, he will occasionally go down the mountain with his adoptive father, and he is already used to traveling, so he curiously asks Feng Wanqiu about their destination.

"Go to the capital, foster father has some things to do, you follow foster father for now."

"Okay, Quan'er has never been to the capital since he was so old."

In the past, the adoptive father was afraid that the master would be worried, so the places he took him were usually not far from the Medical Valley. This time it was rare to travel far, so why did he not feel excited.

"Sit in, we have to get to the capital before dark." Feng Wanqiu told him to get back into the car, then raised his whip, and drove the car forward.

It was only after entering the city in the evening that Ye Xiuquan knew that his adoptive father actually lived in the palace.

Originally, he was still worried. He heard that not everyone could enter the imperial palace, and ordinary people would be beheaded if they trespassed.

But the adoptive father seemed to be very powerful, so he showed a sign to the guards outside the palace gate, and the guards respectfully let him go, and he followed his adoptive father into the palace with peace of mind.

But that night, he suffered from insomnia. Although the big bed with silk quilt and soft pillows were comfortable, he was very uncomfortable. Moreover, after his adoptive father arranged the room for him, he didn't know where to go. He even wanted to find someone to accompany him. I have no idea to sleep, I can only stare at my eyes until dawn.

"Quan'er, are you still used to living here?" Early in the morning, Feng Wanqiu came to see him with a bright smile on his face.

"It's okay..." He hurriedly lowered his head, not wanting his adoptive father to see the tiredness on his face, he immediately got up and got out of bed, and put on his clothes.

"Quan'er, don't hide it from your adoptive father. Your eye circles are blue, I'm afraid you haven't slept well all night." Looking at his small face, Feng Wanqiu couldn't help but laugh.

His adoptive son has a gentle personality and is always considerate of others. Such a temperament is good, but he is worried that one day, Quan'er will suffer a lot from it.

"The adoptive father knows all about it, and even made fun of Quan'er." Ye Xiuquan puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction.He said that because he didn't want his foster father to worry, but he didn't expect his foster father to laugh at him...

"Okay, don't laugh, don't laugh, come and have breakfast, foster father has something to do later, so I can't accompany you, the palace is no better than the market, so don't run around by yourself." Feng Wanqiu smiled, from the food box He took out a few plates of exquisite snacks and put them in front of him.

"Yes, adoptive father." Ye Xiuquan nodded obediently, and after a simple wash, he sat at the table and had a meal with foster father.

Afterwards, Feng Wanqiu left in a hurry, Ye Xiuquan seemed to be on the mountain with his master, after silenting the acupoints of the human body, he walked around the room, but found that there was not even a book to relieve boredom in the room.

Very bored, he decided to take a walk around, maybe he could find one or two interesting books to pass the time.

Although the courtyard he lived in was a "small" courtyard, it was much larger than the medical cottage in the mountains. In addition, there were many corridors and rooms. After walking for a long time, he lost his way.

Looking at the unfamiliar scenery in front of him, and remembering the advice of his adoptive father before he left, Ye Xiuquan suddenly became anxious like ants on a hot pot.

"What should I do?" He looked around, but there was no one around. Seeing that the sun was in the middle of the day, it was almost noon, but he still couldn't find his way back.

"Woo... woo..."

Suddenly, he heard an unusual sound, and he pricked up his ears to listen carefully. It seemed to be a thin cry, and it was depressing.

"Who is crying?" Curious, he walked around following the sound of crying.

It can't be a ghost, can it?Looking at the scorching sun above his head, Ye Xiuquan suddenly felt that this idea was absurd. How could there be ghosts in broad daylight? !

After a while, he found the weeping person, squatting a small figure under the bushes, and when he got closer, he found that it was a boy carved in pink and jade. Wet a small piece.

"Don't cry." He stepped forward without hesitation, gently pulled the boy up, hugged him into his arms and comforted him.

"Woo..." The little boy seemed to be extremely sad, regardless of whether he recognized the person in front of him or not, he lay in his arms, sobbing and crying.

"Hey, don't cry, did you hurt yourself somewhere?" Ye Xiuquan reached out to wipe away the tears from the boy's eyes, and looked carefully at his forehead.

Could it be that he was naughty and fell from a tree and hit his head?

However, there was not a single scar on the little boy's face. Looking at his arm, it was as white as a lotus root and as smooth as jade, and there was no trace of injury at all.

"Who are you?!" Surprised by his series of actions, the boy regained consciousness from his grief, stared at his misty eyes, stopped crying, and asked cautiously.

"My name is Ye Xiuquan, what about you?" Looking at the boy in front of him with red lips and white teeth, who looked like a porcelain doll, Ye Xiuquan couldn't help feeling fond of him, and lowered his voice to ask.

I don't know whose family's child was born so juicy and cute.

"You don't know who I am?" The boy pointed at the tip of his nose, blinked, and his long eyelashes fanned like a small fan, indescribably agile.

"The clothes are very delicate. Are you the young master of the minister's house?" Touching his gorgeous clothes, he had never seen such finely crafted clothes.

In Ye Xiuquan's mind, he could enter the palace with his adoptive father, maybe the sons of the ministers' families often went in and out of the palace, not to mention that this boy was so handsome, maybe he was the prince's companion, and ran out to play when he was mischievous.

Before, he had heard his adoptive father say that the current emperor has only one son, and he regards it as a treasure, and there must be many companions and attendants.

"You...you guessed right." After hesitating for a moment, the boy buried his head in Ye Xiuquan's arms and rubbed it.

Smelling the elegant scent of herbs, the boy took another deep breath, feeling the sadness in his heart gradually fade away, and his emotions calmed down...

Is it the scent that can calm people down, or the voice of this man soothes him...

"What's the matter, did you hurt your internal organs?" Worried that he fell hard, although it wasn't obvious from the outside, he was actually injured internally, Ye Xiuquan worriedly pulled the boy's wrist to feel the pulse.

The boy looked up at him curiously, his lips moved slightly, and he didn't say anything at the end, just staring at him fixedly.

"The pulse condition is stable, there is no problem..." What happened?

"You know medical skills?" The boy withdrew his hand and stared at him without blinking.

"Yes, I have studied medicine with Master for four years. Little brother, why are you crying here?" The boy was not injured, so maybe he had something on his mind.Thinking of this, he simply squatted down and asked patiently.

"I... my mother is dead..." Mentioning the sad thing, the boy couldn't help crying again.

Ye Xiuquan hugged him distressedly, patted him on the back, and comforted him softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, your mother has gone to heaven, she will always be there to watch you, and never left you .”

No wonder the child cried so sadly. When his mother died, he also cried for a day and a night, and even thought of it later, he still sniffled.

"Nonsense, I watched my mother die. Her body was cold, and I didn't care about it. She went to heaven." The boy pushed him away angrily, his eyes red.

"It's true. Master once told me that after death, if a person either goes to hell or goes to heaven, your mother must be a very good person and will go to heaven."

"What you said is true?" The boy looked at him dubiously.

"Of course it's true. What good is it to lie to you and me?" Ye Xiuquan nodded affirmatively, with a sincere face.

Master said that although a person cannot be resurrected after death, the mother who died will definitely look at him in the sky and protect herself in the dark. He believes that the mother of the little boy will do the same.

"Mother... Zongying misses you so much..." Hearing Ye Xiuquan's words, the boy looked up at the sky and sobbed softly.

"Hold it, smell it." Seeing him crying again, Ye Xiuquan took out a small pouch from his bosom and stuffed it into his hand.

"What is this?" Looking at the pouch made of rough cloth, the boy froze for a moment.

"You'll know just by smelling it." With a light smile, Ye Xiuquan held the boy's hand and brought the purse to his nose.

A faint fragrance wafted out from the purse, which was refreshing and made him feel at ease, and he forgot all his troubles.

"It smells so good!" No wonder Ye Xiu's whole body smells so good, it turned out to be this purse!

"It contains specially made herbs, which can refresh the mind, nourish qi and soothe the nerves."

He put a lot of thought into making this purse at the beginning, and wanted to give it to his adoptive father, but after it was finished, his adoptive father did not go to Yigu for a long time, so he had to keep it by his side all the time. When he met his adoptive father yesterday, he was excited for a while. But I forgot, and now it has an unexpected effect.

"I see." The boy nodded frequently, and put the purse into his arms.

When Ye Xiuquan wanted to comfort him again, the boy gently pushed him away, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and grinned at him like a newly blooming flower, which made people amazed.

"Thank you, I remember you." Pressing a kiss on his cheek, the boy turned and ran away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

After a while, he came back to his senses, touched the place kissed by the boy, couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, thinking about the purse taken away by the boy, it seems that he has to make another one for his adoptive father next time.

At noon, the prince's bedroom was full of commotion, and everyone in the palace was mobilized, just to find their honorable prince.

"His Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness." The shouts continued, and the palace people were sweating profusely.

"Why are you arguing, I'm here." A boy in bright yellow brocade clothes appeared at the gate of the palace, his brows were frowned, and he snorted displeasedly.

"Welcome Your Highness back to the palace." Dozens of anxious palace people knelt down in unison when they saw the little master who had been looking for for a long time.

"Get up, you all go down." Swiping the palace guards back, Mu Zongying walked quickly into the hall, with tears still on his face.

He was the boy Ye Xiuquan met under the tree.At this moment, he had a heroic look on his face, and there was no trace of the sadness that he had shown in front of Ye Xiuquan just now. At such a young age, he already showed the domineering aura of an emperor.

"Your Highness, where did you go just now?" A woman in palace attire in her forties came out to greet her and asked anxiously.

"Isn't this Gong coming back?" Seeing her nanny, Mu Zongying's face softened a little.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, you are so anxious, Mammy." Mammy Zhen stepped forward and hugged him in her arms, and after looking at him again and again, she discovered his abnormality.

"Don't worry about it, I just went to the garden where my concubine often goes." Mu Zongying pursed her lips, turned her head to one side, and looked a little embarrassed.

"...Your Highness, don't be too sad. Concubine Shu has already gone. You are the only concern of the empress. Don't let the empress feel at ease in the ground." Zhen Zhen said, sighing softly.

"I know, it's just that I can't bear the sadness in my heart for a while." Speaking of this, Ye Xiuquan's figure appeared in Mu Zongying's mind again, recalling the pleasant smell of medicine on that person's body, and remembering the time when he comforted herself The soft tone made me miss it again.

It's really strange, it's obviously a person I just met, how could it make him so concerned?

"That's good. Your Highness must be careful in the palace these days. You are a man of gold, so you must not make any mistakes."

"Nurse, don't worry, I have my own priorities." Mu Zongying felt that the nanny seemed to be particularly nagging today, and Mu Zongying waved her hand impatiently.

"Isn't this what you are talking about, Your Highness, I heard that Feng Wanqiu has returned with a ten-year-old boy, I don't know if it is an illegitimate child outside." Zhen's face suddenly darkened, and her voice was full of resentment , seems to have a deep hatred with Feng Wanqiu.

"That fellow dares to come back?!" Upon hearing Feng Wanqiu's name, Mu Zong's handsome face was covered with hatred. It is hard to imagine such a young child showing such a vicious look on his face. look.

"That's right, he dominated the emperor by himself, and even killed the concubine Shu. It would not be a pity to die ten thousand times."

"Hmph, the day I ascend the throne will be the day of his death!" Mu Zongying thumped the table with her small fist.

If it hadn't been for Feng Wanqiu to seduce the father and emperor, and make the mother and concubine die of depression, the mother and concubine would not leave him. The most hated person in the world is that guy!

"Your Highness, don't act too hastily, the emperor is protecting him wholeheartedly."

"That's natural, I still know the seriousness." With a cold smile, Mu Zongying showed a smile that didn't match her actual age.

"Your Highness, why do you have a scent on your body?" Smelling a faint scent, Mother Zhen sniffed it beside him.

"Yeah, today I met an interesting person in the Royal Garden, he gave me a purse, it smells good." After speaking, he took out the purse like offering a treasure.

He would never talk to strangers on weekdays.But Ye Xiuquan was different, from the moment he saw that person's sincere eyes, he knew that Ye Xiuquan really cared about him and would not hurt him, so when the other party put the purse in his hand, he took it without further ado.

"This workmanship is really poor, I didn't even close the needle corner." Zhen Momo looked at the sachet, then brought it up to her nose and smelled it, she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and finally gave it back to Mu Zongying.However, such rough things are naturally incomparable with the cost in the palace.

"The workmanship is a bit poor, but the people are pretty good." Thinking of Ye Xiuquan, Mu Zongying narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Usually when the palace people saw him, they all lowered their heads, like a mouse seeing a cat, or they would just follow him with flattering faces, which had no meaning at all.

But in the palace, this person didn't know that he was the prince, and coaxed him so patiently, which was really different from others.

I don't know where this person came from, could it be a young eunuch who just entered the palace?

After thinking about it, Ye Xiuquan said that he had studied medicine for a few years, and he probably worked as a medical attendant in the Imperial Hospital. He had no chance to go to the Eastern Palace, so he had never seen him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but want to see Ye Xiuquan again, want to chat with him, think of that person touching his head with gentle hands and comforting him softly.

And Ye Xiuquan, who was lost, walked around the palace several times in sweat after Mu Zongying left, but still couldn't find the way back. Finally, when it was getting dark, he met a little palace maid who took him to the palace. I took it back.

When he returned to the courtyard, it was already dark, and his stomach was growling. Then he remembered that he had been outside for a long time, and it was useless for lunch. Fortunately, there were still some unfinished snacks on the table, so hurry up I ate it with tea, intending to satisfy my hunger.

"Quan'er, where have you been all day?" Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, and a tall figure rushed into the room like lightning.

"Cough, cough..." Feng Wanqiu's sudden appearance made Ye Xiuquan choke and coughed non-stop.

"Eat slowly, no one will grab you."

"Father, next time you come in, let's say hello first." His face was flushed, and it took a long time for him to stop coughing.

"Father is also worried about you, where did you go this day?" Feng Wanqiu asked anxiously.

"I didn't go anywhere, I just went out for a walk, but I got lost, and it took me a long time to come back."

"I told you not to go out alone. There are many forbidden places in the palace. If you rush in without knowing the severity, if you get into any serious trouble, how can you ask your foster father to help you?" Feng Wanqiu couldn't help scolding with a serious face. .

"Quan'er won't dare in the future, it's just that I'm bored alone in the room, I don't even have to read a book." Even though she knew it was her fault, Ye Xiuquan couldn't help complaining.

"It's also my foster father's carelessness. I didn't even prepare anything for you to pass the time. Okay, I'll send you some books tomorrow." Seeing that he knew his mistake, Feng Wanqiu didn't blame him any more.

"By the way, does adoptive father know if His Highness the Crown Prince is accompanied by a powder-carved and jade-carved companion?" Thinking of the boy he saw in the back garden today, he casually asked his adoptive father.

Although I don't know the name of the other party, but such a cute child is so cute, maybe we can make friends.

In the past, when his mother was alive, he used to argue about wanting a younger brother or sister, but whenever this matter was brought up, his mother always looked at him sadly, and as time passed, he stopped mentioning it.

Now, apart from his adoptive father, he only has his master, and he doesn't even have a playmate of the same age. When he sees that child, he likes him so much, that's why he even gave away the purse that he originally wanted to send to his adoptive father.

"Prince? The prince doesn't have a companion to read yet." Feng Wanqiu thought for a while and answered like this.

"Then who could he be..." Knowing that he had guessed wrong, Ye Xiuquan muttered to himself, he simply never thought that the boy would be His Royal Highness the present Crown Prince!

"What's the matter, who did you meet in the palace today?" Feng Wanqiu sensed something, and asked keenly.

"No, I haven't met anyone." Thinking of being scolded by her adoptive father after only going out for a while, Ye Xiuquan was afraid that if she told about meeting someone, it would make Feng Wanqiu unhappy again, so she shook her head and denied it.

The next time he meets the child, he should ask him what his name is.

Ye Xiuquan stayed on the mountain with his master Qiu Lichen for many years, and he had no entertainment. In addition, he was born prematurely and was born with a weak body, not suitable for martial arts, so he developed a habit of reading books.

After that day, Feng Wanqiu often sent many books for Ye Xiuquan, not only his favorite medical books, but also four books and five classics, unofficial history, etc., all kinds.

With the company of books, he will stay in the house obediently and never go out.

But with the passage of time, the figure of the boy I met that day always appeared in my mind.I don't know if the child has come out of grief...

After hesitating again and again, on this day, he finally couldn't help but put down the books in his hand, and found the garden from last time according to his memory.

To his surprise, the person he was looking for was leaning against the tree trunk, playing with the grass stems he picked from the ground, with a bored look on his face.

At this time, Mu Zongying had changed into white clothes, which made his handsome and lovely face look like a fairy child descending to earth.

Hearing the noise, Mu Zongying turned her head and saw him, her eyes lit up instantly, and she grinned at him.

"Are you waiting for me here?" Realizing something, Ye Xiuquan strode forward and took his hand.

"Brother Quan, Zongying has been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing the person whom she missed for a long time, Mu Zongying threw herself into Ye Xiuquan's arms and rubbed against his neck.

"Your name is Zongying?" Caressing Mu Zongying's delicate face, he saw that his face was rosy, and his expression was no longer sad. He must have come out of the grief of losing his mother.

"Yes, Brother Quan, please call me Zongying."

"Okay, how are Zong Ying doing these days?" Seeing him cuddling in her arms like a kitten, refusing to let go, Ye Xiuquan hugged him affectionately and sat down under a tree beside her.

"Eat well, sleep well, I really miss Brother Quan." Blinking her moist eyes, Mu Zongying at this time is not as domineering as a prince at all, just like an ordinary little boy, longing for family affection soothing.

"My brother misses you too."

"Brother Quan will come here to find me if he misses me in the future." As the only son and the high-ranking prince, everyone respects him, which makes him never taste the intimacy of being with others. Ye Xiuquan was willing to treat him like this, so that Mu Zongying, who had lost her mother not long ago, felt even more warm.

"Well, if I'm free, I'll wait for you here." Touching his head, Ye Xiuquan felt that the child was so cute the more he looked.

He is obedient and cute, this kind of person is simply the ideal younger brother of Ye Xiuquan who longed for younger siblings since he was a child, so he can't help but feel pity for him.

"By the way, when did Brother Quan enter the palace? Why have I never seen you before?" Mu Zongying remembered something and raised her head to ask.

He once sent someone to investigate, but the Tai Hospital said that there was no such person as Ye Xiuquan.

"I came to the palace with my adoptive father. It's been less than a month, so naturally you haven't seen me." Ye Xiuquan smiled gently.

"Father?" But upon hearing these two words, Mu Zongying narrowed his eyes and looked thoughtful.

It's been less than a month since he entered the palace, and he came in with his adoptive father. Could it be that he...

"Yes, my adoptive father is the emperor's bodyguard, and my master has something to do these days, so he entrusted me to the adoptive father to take care of me." Not noticing Mu Zongying's strangeness, he explained with a smile.

"...Brother Quan's adoptive father's surname is Feng?" Mu Zongying asked calmly with lowered eyes.

"Zongying is really good, you can guess right!"

"Quan'er, so you are here, but I have had a hard time finding you."

Suddenly, Feng Wanqiu's voice sounded above his head, Ye Xiuquan raised his head, looked at his adoptive father in surprise, and let go of Mu Zongying's hand.
