After wearing a book, I was forced to marry by the villain

After eating at Chen Zhang, Li Ji returned to the palace.In the past, he always felt that the way back to the palace was too short, but today, he actually felt that it was a bit long.He couldn't wait to go back to the palace, and when he was about to reach his own palace, his footsteps actually went around to Emperor Hui's bedroom.

He thought about Chen Yuan's words, the phrase "There are very few fathers in the world who don't love their children" loosened the resentment in his heart for many years. Maybe, he just guessed, maybe his father loved him, but as an emperor, he loved him. The method is different from that of ordinary fathers.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the bedroom, he saw the two young men with shoulders and backs in front of him, they were Li Ao and Li Geng.

Li Ji stopped there, staring at the two of them, it seemed that they were also going to pay their respects, for some reason, seeing Li Geng and Li Ao hooking shoulders and talking and laughing, his heart felt a little bit tingly, That's right, they are brothers who grew up together, they used to bully themselves together, how could they treat him as a brother sincerely now, Li Geng and him are only because of Chen Yuan's face, um, it should be so...

Li Geng didn't see Li Ji, he was carried on Li Ao's shoulders and walked towards his father's palace.

"Third brother, we are the most honorable brothers no matter our background or others," Li Ao put his arms around Li Geng's shoulders: "Why are you playing so well with that kid Li Ji? You are not afraid of humiliating yourself identity?"

Li Geng blinked his big round eyes, gave him a cowardly look, and didn't speak.

Li Ao patted him on the shoulder: "Third brother, what are you thinking, you said your brother and I are right?"

Li Geng blinked his big eyes again, and said cautiously, "Then if I tell you, brother, you are not allowed to beat me up."

"If I don't beat you, it's too late to hurt you." Li Ao snorted and slapped the back of Li Geng's head.

"I think what you said, elder brother, is wrong. Second brother is no different from us, he is the son of the emperor."

When the words fell to the ground, Li Ao's eyes glared, and he grabbed Li Geng's neck and squeezed hard, Li Geng yelled in pain, "Brother, don't beat me up as you said."

"I said I didn't hit you, but I didn't say I wouldn't pinch you." Li Ao was quite upright, then slapped and rubbed Li Geng's pinch three times, gently rubbed the pinched place, and softened his voice: "My silly Brother, if you think about it carefully, our mother queen is the queen, the mother of a country, and our mother queen comes from a famous family, and our grandfather and uncle are powerful in the court, cough cough, let's not mention them, just talk about our mother queen, Do you think our queen mother is honorable or not?"

"Noble." Li Geng pursed his lips and smiled with a little joy in his small expression.

Before the ridiculousness escaped his lips, Li Ao continued: "But what about his mother, she is just a disused concubine who was thrown into the cold palace. There is no one in her mother's family, and the father doesn't like him. What do you mean? no?"

Li Geng's smile faded, and he looked at him expressionlessly: "Big Brother, Second Brother..." He didn't say anything further, because Li Ao was telling the truth, but he really didn't want to say anything bad about Li Ji, Then he stopped talking.

"Second brother, what's wrong with him?" Li Ao snorted at the back of Li Geng's head, "Li Ji is not good enough, even an eunuch can treat him coldly, he is still a cripple, you say you go with him Why are you so close, be good, play with your brother, like when you were young, we two are on the same front, I am the boss, you can still suffer if you follow me?"

Li Geng's eyes were dark, and he was a little unhappy: "Brother, don't say that about second brother, he is our half brother after all."

"What brother? You ask other brothers, who regards him as a brother?"

Li Geng was really upset, his eyebrows were twisted, he clearly didn't want to hear Li Ao brainwashing, Li Ao hurriedly responded when he saw this: "It's ok, don't worry, my words may not be pleasant, but it's the truth. "

Li Geng pouted: "Big Brother, let's stop talking about Second Brother."

"Let me talk about the last sentence." Li Ao continued to snort the back of Li Geng's head: "Your second brother thinks how many of our brothers are brothers? Seeing us is like seeing enemies, those two eyes are spitting fire, and his face is as frosty. It's like a fight, like we all owe him."

Li Geng was quite helpless, and looked at him: "Brother, you said a few words, didn't you say the last sentence?"

Li Ao: "..."

Li Geng said again: "Brother, let me tell you something you don't like to hear. We brothers owe the second brother a lot. When you were young, you took us and bullied him a lot. Have you forgotten?"

"You..." Li Ao choked and had nothing to say, but he was also a master who didn't want to suffer, so he immediately let go of Li Geng, pushed him, and then rolled up his sleeves to beat him.

Seeing this, Li Geng was like a wild rabbit, jumping three feet high and running towards Emperor Hui's bedroom, Li Ao chased after him, it really looked like you were chasing each other.

Li Ji watched the two of them enter the bedroom, he hesitated for a while, then turned and went back to his bedroom.

The young eunuch who was serving saw him enter the palace gate, and hurried up to greet him. When he got closer, he could see that Li Ji's face was not in a good mood, and his displeasure was clearly written on it.Naturally, as a slave, I dare not ask too many questions, but I must learn to guess my master's mind.

"Your Highness, just now His Majesty sent a genius doctor to treat you." The little eunuch was called Xu Rang, and he spoke and acted decently: "The slave said that you went out of the palace to find Master Yuan, so the genius doctor returned first."

Li Ji pulled a small face: "Is the father here?" These words are all asking, Emperor Hui is busy with government affairs every day, so naturally he won't come, he just wants to ask.

Xu Rang lowered his head: "Your Majesty naturally wants to come, but I heard that I can't get away from discussing politics with ministers."

Li Ji looked at him blankly and entered the room.

The little maid brought tea and added ice cream to the room, Li Ji wanted to take a bath, Xu Rang immediately ordered someone to prepare it.

While taking a bath, Xu Rang asked in a low voice when he would invite the genius doctor to come over, and Li Ji replied flatly, "It doesn't make much difference when you come."

This is just pretending, and the only one who can "heal" him is himself.

Li Ji looked at his feet. Back then, he was indeed injured when he fell from a high wall to save his mother and concubine, but he recovered later. He hated her mother's death and hated his father's indifference and heartlessness, but Xiao At an old age, he longed for his father's attention, so he pretended, thinking that by pretending to be disabled, his father would care about his son, but he was wrong. It worked very well, and in the days that followed, he was still a poor little boy with no father, no mother, and no love.

"Wow!" The bathtub cracked, and the water gushed out immediately, dripping all over the floor. Xu Rang, who was serving, was startled, and quickly knelt down: "Your Highness, the slave should die, I don't know if this bathtub is broken."

"You raise your head." Li Ji ordered.

Xu Rang raised his head slowly, only to see Li Ji tied up his hair, came out of the tub, pulled a towel around him, and walked up to him.

Not lame!Xu Rang was terrified, and hurriedly kowtowed to beg for mercy: "Your Highness, the slave didn't see anything, you spared the life of the slave, you spared the slave."

"Dog life?" Li Ji's voice became cold. Someone said this to him and his concubine mother when they were in the cold palace. He didn't like to hear these words. dog?"

Xu Rang was really frightened, trembling, not knowing what to do, his lips trembled a few times, not knowing what to say, so he just kowtowed.

At this time, there was a notification sound from outside, saying that a genius doctor had come to see a doctor. Li Ji looked at Xu Rang indifferently and asked him to get up and wait for him to get dressed.

Xu Rang wiped the water all over his face and stood up wet with sweat.

Before going out, Li Ji said, "If you think about it, then go to me." Xu Rang turned pale with fright again, but he didn't dare to say no, so he could only obediently obey.

The miraculous doctor came from the common people. He was well-informed and skilled in medicine. He watched and asked Li Ji for a while, touched and pinched him, did acupuncture and moxibustion, and said nothing. He only prescribed a few plasters and then withdrew.

Li Ji returned to his usual cowardly prince appearance, drank a cup of clear tea, and took wild fruits picked from the mountain to Emperor Hui to thank him for his kindness.His store name wants Xu Rang to accompany him.

Xu Rang changed into dry clothes, and followed out of the house respectfully. On the way, Li Ji asked Xu Rang, "Do I pretend to look like this?"

Xu Rang broke out in a cold sweat again, his face turned pale, and his lips trembled, not knowing how to answer.

Li Ji glanced at him lightly: "Is this difficult to answer?"

"Your Highness," Xu Rang's knees softened, "I dare not."

Li Ji glanced at him again: "Then let me ask you again, whose slave are you now? Father's? Which empress? Which high-ranking official? Or..."

"Your!" Xu Rang boldly snatched the white: "The slave is your slave, and you are the slave's master, the only master."

Li Ji stopped, and finally looked him in the eye: "How true and how false are these words?"

"The truth!" Xu Rang knelt down: "This slave is the truth. If your highness doesn't believe it, you can watch the slave's performance in the future. If the slave deceives you, you can take this slave's life at any time."

Li Ji didn't speak, his face was expressionless. After a while, he smiled brightly like a flower: "Then I believe it."

Xu Rang was even more frightened. His legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up.

"Get up, it's not good for others to see." Li Ji stretched out his hand to support him.

Xu Rang stood up reluctantly, and stretched out his hand to support Li Ji: "Your Highness, I don't dare to be a slave, it should be a slave who supports you."

"That's right, but it's not right," Li Ji said in a low voice, "Masters and slaves support each other, and only in this way can they go far."

Xu Rang lowered his head: "What His Highness teaches is that slaves always remember their teachings."

Li Ji looked at him with a smile and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Return to Your Highness, this slave is fifteen this year." Xu Rang replied respectfully.

"Have you finished your birthday?" Li Ji asked again, as if chatting about family affairs, with a childish face that should not have been mature.

"Go back to Your Highness, it's over." Xu Rang was still respectful.

Li Ji didn't speak anymore, limping, walking slowly step by step, Xu Rang followed slowly, and entered Emperor Hui's bedroom, the prince notified Xu Rang to stop.

Xu Rang leaned back and waited while Li Ji took two steps and suddenly stopped, turned around, took out a fruit from his bosom, called "Xu Rang", and threw the fruit to him, smiling cutely, in front of Wang Gonggong. led into the house.

Xu Rang caught it with both hands in time and held the fruit in his palms. All the servants waiting around looked at him in unison.

Xu Rangmu was stunned, the eyes of others surrounded him, he didn't care at all, he looked at the wild fruit in his hand, all he thought about was Li Ji's ruthlessness, Li Ji's coldness, Li Ji's city that didn't meet his age, and Li Ji's When Ji Fang just gave him the fruit with a smile, Xu Rang gripped the fruit tightly, and the Second Highness pretending to be a lame really made him tremble.

"My son, I thank my father for caring about me." Li Ji knelt down on both knees and kowtowed: "My son, I thank my father for giving me a miracle doctor."

Emperor Hui, who was reviewing the memorial, glanced at him: "Get up and talk."

Li Jilue stood up with difficulty, his thin shoulders drooping, and he stood there obediently.

Emperor Hui glanced at him again: "It's hot and your feet are inconvenient, so you don't have to come here to thank me." After finishing speaking, he paused for a while, and added: "There is no need to be so polite between father and son."

Li Ji looked up at him, a little smile finally appeared on his small face, he took out a red and beautiful wild fruit from his bosom, stepped forward, and handed it over with both hands: "Father, my son picked a wild fruit on the mountain , try it."

"Wild fruit picked on the mountain?" Emperor Hui finally put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the beautiful fruit, and held it in his hand.

"Go back to father, my boy and cousin Yuan went up the mountain to pick it together." Li Ji smiled obediently: "It's so sweet, I can't eat it in the palace, my boy will bring you some to taste."

Huidi bit his mouth and licked his lips: "Well, it's really sweet."

"However, there are also sour ones. My cousin just ate one, and his teeth were so sour." After Li Ji finished speaking, he stretched out a pair of small hands and put all the fruits hidden in his arms on Emperor Hui's desk. Smiling face: "My child picks all the red ones, I hope there are no sour ones."

Emperor Hui's face softened, and he even eased his tone: "I have a heart." He stretched out his hand to greet Li Ji to come and sit down, like a real father: "However, I always run out of the palace to play, but it will delay my homework. You are young, you must not be playful."

Li Ji obediently sat next to him: "Father taught me the lesson." He lowered his head: "I know I was wrong."

Emperor Hui looked at him, and then at the wild fruit in his hand, the color was beautiful red, he couldn't help but took another bite, it was so sweet and delicious.

"Remember to stick the plaster prescribed by the miracle doctor." He ate the fruit into his mouth.

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Father, there is a nucleus." He stretched out his hands to pick it up.

Emperor Hui suddenly became unhappy. He didn't like his son being so humble, so he spat out the core on the ground and said coldly, "From now on, don't do that again."

Li Ji withdrew his hand in fright, and stood up tremblingly: "Father..."

"Sit down!" Emperor Hui scolded.

Li Ji bit his lip, as if he was about to cry, and sat back obediently, like a coward facing an abyss.

Emperor Hui couldn't get angry when he saw him like this, but he couldn't vent his anger. He just blamed his son for being too timid.

"You child..." He thought about it, lest he would scare him again by saying harsh words: "Father is not angry, you are a master, that's what a slave should do, understand?"

Li Ji didn't dare to look at him, raised his head cautiously, looked at Emperor Hui with tear-filled eyes, and said in a low voice, "The boy is the son of the father, the son should pick a fruit core for the father."

Emperor Hui's mood suddenly brightened when he said "Father" to him, and he looked at Li Ji softly, and after a while, he sighed: "Yes, you and I are father and son, my father, you are son, the father said son Can't stand it after two sentences?"

Li Ji's tears couldn't be held back, and they fell down patter, pitifully, not to mention being pitiful.

Emperor Hui felt distressed by his appearance. For a moment, he really wanted to hold this son in his arms, and wipe his tears with his own hands, but he restrained himself, and hardened his heart and said: "Cry!" What! What does a man look like crying and crying!"

Li Ji raised his hand to wipe away his tears, sobbing: "Don't cry, baby, don't be angry, father." After speaking, the tears fell even more fiercely, and couldn't be wiped clean.

Emperor Hui had no choice but to bear it again and again, but still hardened his heart: "I order you not to cry anymore!"

Li Ji bit his lip and tried to hold back his tears. His weeping and immature face was really cute in people's eyes.

Emperor Hui looked at him for a while, then ordered someone to prepare a cloth towel soaked in water, resisting the urge to wipe Li Ji's tears, and handed the towel over: "Wipe your tears."

Li Ji took it, and said softly, "Thank you, Father."

"There's so much nonsense," Emperor Hui frowned, with anger in his heartache: "Wipe it quickly!"

After wiping away tears and wiping his face clean, Li Ji took the cloth towel in his hand, and Emperor Hui said "tsk" in disgust: "Oh, are you stupid? There is a slave here, you give it to him."

Li Ji handed it to the little eunuch in a daze, and looked at Emperor Hui with his round eyes aggrieved.

Huidi made him laugh and helpless for a while with such a small look, and blamed him: "Who are you following with your stupidity?" Sighed, and said worriedly: "In the future, when you have your own independent family, it is so stupid. What should I do?" He sighed again: "Your brothers are all very capable, so could it be that you have given all your stupidity to you?"

Li Ji blinked his big bright eyes, and whispered back: "Father, the child is not stupid."

"You don't know if you're stupid or not?" Emperor Hui snorted.

Li Ji stopped talking.

Emperor Hui looked at his son, for some reason, he couldn't love this son, he couldn't treat him too well, in order to save his life, he could only be indifferent to him, even be a ruthless father, from birth After coming down, he didn't hug him very much, and he didn't love him well. He owed him, but this debt might not be repaid until he died.

Emperor Hui suppressed his inner emotions, said with a cold face and hard heart: "Go back."

Li Ji got up and saluted, and finally said obediently: "Father, it's time to have dinner, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat, my son is back."

On the way back, Xu Rang picked up the lamp, Li Ji had no expression on his face, and walked slowly with a limp.

"How did you get into the palace?" At a certain moment, Li Ji asked suddenly.

"Returning to Your Highness, the servant's family is poor and there are many brothers and sisters. My parents couldn't support me and my brother and I were sent to the palace." Xu Rang didn't mean any resentment in what he said.

Li Ji glanced at him: "You and brother?"

"Return to Your Highness, the servant's younger brother is serving His Majesty, his name is Xu Ren."

Li Ji understood: "It turned out to be him."

Xu Rang was surprised: "Your Highness knows about the servant's younger brother?"

"I know, I knelt in the snow for several hours last winter and couldn't stand up. Your brother helped me up." Li Ji recalled that he always had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and he would remember those who were kind to him.

Xu Rang showed a smile on his face: "Your Highness, the slave's younger brother mentioned this to the slave. It was because he had just been transferred to serve in front of the imperial court. He didn't even see His Majesty's face. He saw you first."

Li Ji followed with a smile: "So, I have a predestined relationship with you brothers."

"Your Highness, you killed the slave." Xu Rang lowered his head: "You are the master, and it is a great gift for the slave brothers to serve you."

Li Ji smiled lightly: "In this palace, all slaves are willing to find a big tree to enjoy the shade. I, an unpopular prince, where did I get this great gift?"

Xu Rang's heart trembled: "Your Highness, this slave speaks from the bottom of his heart." He said with a sad face, "From the moment you reward this slave with a fruit, this slave will only be loyal to you in this life." Come out: "An insignificant seed can grow into a towering tree and bear such beautiful fruits. I believe that your highness will be a towering tree that you can rely on in the future." After finishing speaking, he bent down Some: "Your Highness, Lu Hei, be careful where you step."

Li Ji grabbed his arm and lowered his voice: "It's okay, I'm pretending to be lame, you don't know."

"Your Highness, the slave only knows that Master has trouble walking." Xu Rang is too good at being a slave.

Li Ji looked at him, and smiled silently with the corners of his mouth pulled. After a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you resent your parents?"

"Back to Your Highness, this servant does not hold grudges." Xu Rang didn't even think about it: "Mother has their difficulties, and this servant knows that if they have a little way, they are not willing to sell their son into the palace." He said with a smile: "Your Highness To tell you the truth, the servant and the younger brother of the servant have to thank our parents. If we hadn’t been sold into the palace, we might have starved to death. Not only did we not starve to death, but we can also send some silver taels home every month. Now parents and younger brothers and sisters are no longer hungry or cold..."

Li Ji listened quietly. He was inexplicably envious of such homely words. He didn't know whether he envied Xu Rang for having such a mind to understand the difficulties of his parents, or envied Xu Rang's happy expression when he talked about his family.

Xu Rang said so forgetfully, when he came back to his senses, he immediately felt that he had passed, and hurriedly knelt down: "Your Highness punished, the slave talked too much."

Li Ji couldn't see any displeasure. In this palace, whether he was treating other brothers, sisters or slaves, he always had a cold and indifferent appearance. He glanced at Xu Rang who was kneeling on the ground: "There is a man with I said he didn't like men with soft knees."

Xu Rang was so frightened that he knelt there and did not dare to move. He only raised the lantern with both hands.

Li Ji frowned: "Get up."

Xu asked Xie En, stood up, and supported Li Ji to move on.

Back in the bedroom, just as the cook delivered dinner, Li Geng hopped into the room.

"Second brother!" He smiled happily, "I'm here to eat."

Li Ji didn't want to talk to him at first, but he couldn't bear it, and said with a stern face, "I said why so many meals were delivered from the kitchen today."

Before Li Geng could see anything, he smiled silly and sweetly, and instead of treating himself as an outsider, he sat down, picked up chopsticks, put a piece of meat in his mouth, and said as he ate, "Why are you leaving the palace today?" Won’t you call me? I’m going to pick wild fruits on the mountain with my cousin, I’m going to die of grief.”

"You didn't do your homework yesterday, and my father punished you today. If I take you out of the palace again, it will make my father even more unhappy." Mentioning Chen Yuan and Li Ji's eyes softened: "Cousin finished his homework. It’s also finished, so we can naturally get together and go out to play.”

Li Geng took another piece of meat and smacked his lips: "Okay, okay, second brother, you can do whatever you want." He said and looked at Li Ji: "Second brother, next time you go out of the palace to play, you must remember to take it with you." Get on me."

Li Ji suddenly lowered his face: "Let your elder brother take you out of the palace to play."

"?" Li Geng was taken aback by his words, blinked, puzzled: "Why?" Before Li Ji could reply, he frowned and said, "I don't want to play with him, he beats me all the time. "

Li Ji hehe: "Brothers have a good relationship, beating twice is like a joke, what are you afraid of?"

"No, he hurts so much." Li Geng rolled up his sleeves: "Second brother, look." He pointed to his neck again: "And here, he strangled me, it hurts me to death."

Seeing the bruises on Li Geng's arms and neck, Li Ji was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned cold, revealing a fierce look: "Is he hitting so hard?"

"No." Li Geng complained pitifully: "Brother is bad, he always bullies me." After speaking, he said softly: "Actually, my brother, I don't want to be as knowledgeable as him, and my mother and his mother are fighting each other. No, I don't want to learn from my mother."

Li Geng is kind-hearted and soft-hearted. After hearing his words, Li Ji's face turned cold again. He didn't like that Li Geng's thoughts were so simple. If he wanted to survive in this palace, it would be better to be more complicated. Besides, Li Ao A brother is an enemy at the same time, being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself, and it is too late to regret until the day when you lose your life.

He immediately showed a little anger: "What brother, if he really treats you as his own family, how could he hit him so hard? It's clear that he doesn't treat you as a brother."

"It's not..."

"It's nothing!" Li Geng interrupted Li Ji in a cold voice, "You don't want to be as knowledgeable as him, you don't want to fight with him, but he already has as much knowledge as you, and he is fighting with you!"

Li Geng was dumbfounded by what he said, and asked stupidly: "Is there? Impossible."

Li Ji was so cold that he didn't want to talk to him.

Li Geng didn't know it, and asked again foolishly: "Second brother, how did you know?"

"I..." Li Ji didn't know how to answer for a while, so he stared and stared angrily at him, and said angrily: "At first glance, he is an uneasy and kind thing!" Are you and others bullying me less?"

This made Li Geng ashamed, and he blamed himself, scratched his head, and apologized: "Second brother, I knew I was wrong, no, today big brother encourages me to follow him to bully you, I would rather be beaten Nor agree."

Hearing this, Li Ji was stunned for a moment, and in a moment, he understood that on the way to pay his respects to his father, it was not about hooking up with the two brothers, but...

"Second brother really, if you don't believe me, you can ask elder brother yourself, he is still angry with me." Li Geng felt wronged, and whispered: "Even my mother is angry with me." After speaking, he was afraid Li Ji felt uncomfortable or hated his mother, so he explained: "My mother is afraid that I will be punished by my father for playing all day long and delaying my homework. She has no other meaning for you." Then he complained to Li Ji: "Second brother You don't know, my father and my mother have the same nostrils, every time my father punishes me, my mother never intercedes, but it makes me very sad."

Li Ji withdrew his hostility and anger and listened to his broken thoughts. He suddenly felt that although Li Geng must be a month younger than him, he is much simpler than him. Thinking about it, he is a brother who is loved by his father and mother, and grows in a honeypot. I am big, I have never suffered any setbacks, and it is inevitable to develop such a temperament.

"Second brother, why don't you eat?" After Li Geng finished speaking, he felt relieved, and gnawed happily on a chicken leg.

Li Ji made up his mind and didn't answer the words. Instead, he said: "My mother is doing it for your own good. If you keep spoiling you, you will blame her in the future." After a pause, "As for Li Ao, you leave He's far away."

Li Geng nodded obediently: "Following you will have delicious food, that's what my cousin said." After speaking, he smiled foolishly.

Li Ji smiled along, thinking confidently in his heart that he could survive by following me.
