After falsely claiming to be pregnant, the whole court came to claim it

[11 years old - separated]

Li Yi was 11 years old and Shi Fang was 16 years old.

The 16-year-old Shifang has grown into the stature of a young man, and his exquisite facial features have gradually become clear-cut. Unknowingly, his childishness has faded, and there is a lot of thought and melancholy in his brows and eyes.

This year, Li Yi's character has also improved a lot. In the past few years, his body was still suffering from illness. In the past few years, he has been recuperated, and the shadow of the little crying bag is almost completely gone.Of course, Li Yi hasn't cried much in recent years, but his temper is still difficult to get along with, he is cold all day long, and there are four characters written all over his body.

Don't get close to strangers, but you can do anything with acquaintances.

As long as that person is Shifang, Li Yi will be like a wolf cub in sheep's clothing, with no trace of hostility and irritability in his body.

But this year, the little wolf cub had a very unpleasant fight with Shifang because of one incident.

The reason was that Shifang suddenly mentioned something to Liu Linxi one day, saying that he wanted to live alone and moved out of Li Yi's bedroom.

Liu Linxi thought about it, the two children have been close since childhood and have lived together for more than ten years, now that Shifang has grown up and is already a young man.Adolescents will undergo many physical and psychological changes. For the person concerned, these changes are extremely private and at a loss. He needs a space to process and become familiar with his own changes.

And Li Yi is also 11 years old, he is half a boy, but he is not old enough to share with Shifang the experience of growing up as a teenager, which makes Shifang's situation very embarrassing.

After thinking about it again and again, Liu Linxi asked Li Yi to move out.

After all, the bedroom was originally where Shi Fang lived after entering the palace, and if he wanted to move it, it would be Li Yi who moved it.

On the day they learned that they were moving out, Li Yi and Liu Linxi had a big fight and ran to find Shifang.

At that time, he didn't know that Shifang himself had brought up the matter, so he thought that Shifang would stand by him, but he never thought that Shifang had already helped the palace people pack up Li Yi's things. .

"Father wants me to move out, and I'm not allowed to live with you." Li Yi said angrily.

"Your bedroom is not far from me, and we will still eat and study together in the future," Shi Fang said.

"I don't want to move, I'm afraid to live by myself," Li Yi said.

"There are palace servants in the palace. If you are afraid of letting them accompany you in the inner palace, it's okay." Shi Fang said: "If you are not used to it, I will ask Eunuch Su to transfer all the people who served you. There are not so many people on the left and right.”

Li Yi frowned and said, "What do you mean? You already knew about your father's decision, why didn't you stop him?"

"You've grown up now, shouldn't you eat and live with me all the time?" Shi Fang said, "If it gets out, people will laugh at you again."

"I'm not afraid of being laughed at." Li Yi said, "I don't care, I'm going to live here, and it's useless for anyone to persuade me."

Li Yi has been used to domineering since he was a child, and no one in this palace can restrain him. It's not that Liu Linxi doesn't care about teaching him, but every time he becomes stubborn, it's mostly for small things. Li Yi has always been serious about big things. He is obedient, so Liu Linxi has been pampering him.

Not to mention Shifang, there is no principle in pampering this younger brother.

Therefore, the turmoil of moving this time was temporarily put on hold after Li Yi made a fuss.

It wasn't until a few days later that Li Yi woke up in the middle of the night and found that the bed was half empty. He got out of bed with bare feet and wanted to see if Shi Fang was in the outer hall, only then did he find that Shi Fang was lying on a low couch in the outer hall wrapped in a small quilt.After all, the low couch was no bigger than the bed, Shi Fang could only curl up on it, and seemed to be sleeping very unsteadily.

Li Yi originally wanted to wake him up, but after thinking about it, he held back.

In the middle of the night, he went back to bed and didn't sleep until dawn, when he faintly heard the whispers of the palace servants.

"Your Highness, it's almost dawn." The palace man whispered towards Shi Fang.

"Put the quilt away and be careful, don't wake up Yi'er." Shi Fang whispered.

The palace man tidied up the low couch while responding, Shi Fang tiptoed back to the couch and lay down carefully beside Li Yi.Li Yi turned his back to him, and did not say a word from the beginning to the end...

Early the next morning, Li Yi didn't say anything, but he paid attention and secretly listened to the discussions of the palace people.

"His Royal Highness is now sixteen. Many princes and princes should discuss marriage at this age. If it is rumored that he slept with His Royal Highness Second Highness, it will be criticized." A palace official said.

"The Second Highness is stubborn, isn't the First Highness always sticking to him because he is afraid that he will make a fuss?" another palace man said.

"It's a pity, His Majesty has not been able to sleep well these past few days. He heard that he took a nap today, and he was reprimanded by the master." Someone said again.

Li Yi's face remained calm, but his eyes gradually became gloomy.

His elder brother is already 16 years old, so it's time for a kiss?

My brother is about to discuss marriage, so he can no longer live with him.

When my elder brother marries someone in the future, will he also leave the palace to build a mansion?

At that time, let alone sleeping at the same table, I am afraid that even eating at the same table will become a luxury.

11-year-old Li Yi realized for the first time that his brother was destined not to be by his side for the rest of his life.

And there was nothing he could do about it.

He can't stop his brother from discussing marriage, can he?

That night, Li Yi packed up his things with the palace servants and moved out of Shifang's bedroom.

Shifang didn't know what Li Yi was thinking in his heart, but he was quite relieved when he finally thought about it after his temper was over.

Since then, Li Yi has not spoken to Shifang for several days.

The 11-year-old boy seems to have grown up several years overnight.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make up for the fact that he was five years younger than the other party.So he can't rush ahead of his brother to discuss marriage, at least in that way, he can make himself feel that he is not the one who was abandoned...

[13 years old - respectively]

When Li Yi was 13 years old, Shifang.

In the past two years, Li Yi and Shifang have not been as close as before.

Shi Fang was over eighteen years old, and he looked more handsome and upright, and Li Yi also looked a bit like a young man, both in appearance and temperament, becoming more mature.To put it bluntly, he is steady and sensible, but to put it bluntly, he doesn't show his emotions or anger.

In the past, he would openly express his rebellion when he was unhappy about something, but now, no matter what it is, he rarely expresses his emotions and dissatisfaction positively.

Just like a few days ago, when Liu Linxi and Li Yan were chatting, they suddenly mentioned the matter of proposing marriage to Shifang.Shi Fang was taken aback for a moment, and only said that he was still young and didn't want to talk about marriage prematurely.And when Liu Linxi asked Li Yi casually, Li Yi smiled lightly, saying only that his brother is outstanding, and he must find someone who is worthy of him.

I don't know how long this incident has troubled Li Yi in the past two years.

Ever since he learned that Shifang was going to discuss marriage, he often imagined what that person would look like.Whether it's a man or a woman, tall or short, fat or thin, my brother will be very gentle with him, right? Will that person like my brother as much as I do?

Li Yi thought for a long time, and even he himself couldn't tell if he was afraid of that person's appearance, or was looking forward to that person's appearance.

But in the past two years, this incident has not happened, and no one has mentioned it positively.

Li Yi secretly thought, maybe those few palace people just said it casually.

Just when he almost thought that this matter would never be mentioned again, this matter was brought up in front of him for the first time.

Shi Fang's performance was not enthusiastic, but seeing that his face was reddish, he thought he was willing, maybe it was just a thin-skinned person who didn't want to admit it.

Li Yi was very unhappy that night, and even he himself couldn't explain why.

That night, he fell ill, with a persistent high fever, and was groggy all over.

Li Yi was weak when he was young, but he recovered afterward. He has not been sick for several years, and now everyone is quite nervous about this disease.Shifang even took care of him for most of the night in his clothes. It was not until dawn that Li Yi regained some sanity.

Looking at the frowning elder brother in front of him, Li Yi couldn't help thinking that his elder brother would also take care of others in the future, even more considerate and cautious than when he was taking care of him.This made Li Yi very disappointed, as if something that belonged to him since he was a child was suddenly taken away by someone.

But brother is a person, not a thing.

No matter how capable Li Yi is, he can't take a living person as his own.

Especially not long ago, Li Yi learned from other people that Shifang was not his real brother.

It is no secret that Li Zhou, King of Heqing, was adopted by His Majesty and Empress at the age of five.

It's just that Li Yi had no way of knowing it before, but now that he's getting older, he knows how to piece together information from other people's words, so he slowly knows this secret that is not a secret.

Since the elder brother is not his real elder brother, it is more natural to leave him.

Who would spend the rest of their life with a younger brother who is not even related by blood?

That night, Li Yi had a fever.

When Shifang took care of him, he pulled at him with red eyes, and said in an aggrieved tone that he hadn't used in many years, "Baby doesn't want my brother to marry anyone else, it would be great if my brother never married anyone else..."

Shi Fang was taken aback when he heard the words, and for a moment, he wanted to agree to him.

His younger brother has been pampered by him, but he hasn't acted like a baby to him for many years...

It took more than ten days for Li Yi's illness to recover intermittently.

Shi Fang took care of him every day, but it was rare to see the little boy regain some of his childhood shadow.

It's just that as soon as he recovered from his illness, the little wolf cub immediately lost his sheepskin and became that cold look again.

Shifang now knows that the boy's estrangement is not because he really doesn't want to get close, but because he has complicated thoughts, and it's inevitable that his words are duplicity, so he took the initiative, and he will pull each other together every day when he eats and reads.Li Yi was reluctant on the face, but he never shirked it.

It's rare for the two of them to look like brothers and sisters.

This winter, the weather is extremely cold.

One day, people from the prison came to report that Dong Gui was not well, and that he might die.

Liu Linxi had long forgotten that there was such a person as Dong Gui all these years ago, but now that someone suddenly mentioned it, she remembered that past.He hesitated for a long time, discussed with Li Yan, but in the end he couldn't make up his mind whether to let Shifang meet.

After all, after all, it is a person who gave birth to Shifang.As a father, Liu Linxi always felt a little pity for Dong Gui from this to the other, although what he did was unforgivable, but as far as Shifang is concerned, blood is thicker than water.But he was also afraid that mentioning this matter suddenly would cast a shadow on Shifang's heart.

Over the years, Shifang has always been His Royal Highness to the outside world.

If he suddenly knew that he had such a father, he wondered if it would be difficult for him to accept it.

Thinking of this, Liu Linxi wanted to test Shifang's attitude a little bit.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Linxi asked a question, Shifang smiled wryly, and said what had been buried in his heart for many years:

Liu Linxi asked him if he remembered a person he had met many years ago when he took him to the prison.

Unexpectedly, Shifang spoke Dong Gui's name when he opened his mouth...

"Who told you?" Liu Linxi asked in surprise.

"In the past few years, I have gradually remembered some things before I was five years old. I can't remember what he looks like, but I remember that his name is Dong Gui." Shi Fang said: "I know what he did, and I secretly went to see After going through the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I also know that my father has kept his life all these years."

Liu Linxi was very surprised, never expected that Shifang had recovered his memory long ago.

"I thought about confessing to my father, but I didn't dare to face it. After all, I am the son of a sinner..." Shi Fang said with a wry smile.

"He is him, you are you." Liu Linxi said: "What he has done has nothing to do with you."

Shi Fang nodded and said: "I know, if the empress father and the emperor mind my background, how could they treat me like this."

"If you want you to stop thinking about it, I'm relieved." Liu Linxi said, "I mentioned Dong Gui to you today because someone from the prison came to report that his life was dying. I thought you might want to see him."

Shi Fang was startled when he heard the words, and said: "I was born by him after all. Although he committed a heinous crime, I have never fulfilled my duty of caring for him. I should go to see him. Thank you, the queen father, for fulfilling my wish."

Seeing Shifang's calm expression, Liu Linxi felt at ease, and personally took someone to accompany Shifang to the prison.

Dong Guiqiang has been living in the prison for so many years, his beard and hair are all white, and he looks very old.

When he saw Shifang, he could barely recognize it, and it took him a while to realize who this boy was.

Shifang, his eyebrows and eyes are very similar to when he was young, and his high nose bridge is a bit like Zhou Hui, but he looks more delicate than Zhou Hui.And he has been by Liu Linxi's side for a long time these years, his indifferent demeanor is more like Liu Linxi.

"They raised you... very well..." Dong Gui said tremblingly.

Shi Fang was a few steps away from him, and asked, "Have you ever regretted it?"

"Regret?" Dong Gui was in a trance when he heard the words, and then smiled maniacally, and said, "There is no medicine for regret in this world, so what's the use of regret..."

"Go with peace of mind, I will chant scriptures for you for five years and repent of your past sins." Shi Fang said lightly.

Dong Gui's complexion changed when he heard the words, and he said, "My business has nothing to do with you! Just be your little prince and forget about me. Even if I go to the eighteenth floor of hell... I asked for it... I don't need you Eat fast and chant Buddha for me..."

Shi Fang looked at him with pity, put his hands together, but stopped talking.

Dong Gui looked at him, sadness and remorse finally appeared in his eyes, but he is now like a rotten tree, even if he wants to repent, there is no way to ask for help... Looking at the clean and handsome young man in front of him, at that moment he was finally willing to admit him remorse...

It would be nice if he never did all that...

Dong Gui died that day.

Shi Fang came out of the prison with a very calm expression on his face.

At first Liu Linxi was afraid that he would be too sad, but now that he looked normal, she felt relieved.

Unexpectedly, Shifang opened his mouth and told Liu Linxi that he wanted to go back to Qingyin Temple to practice.

"Why are you bothering?" Liu Linxi asked.

"There is too much fear in my heart, so I will not move forward." Shi Fang said: "A few years ago, because of fear, I have been reluctant to say that I have remembered the past... I am afraid of facing him, and I am also afraid of losing you, I am afraid of losing Yi. Son……"

"You won't lose us." Liu Linxi said: "No one will care who gave birth to you."

"I care." Shi Fang said: "If I can't face him, he will become my demon. I want to practice, not just to forgive him, but also to allow myself to accept myself calmly."

Liu Linxi said again: "You can practice in the palace, why bother to go to the temple?"

"In the palace, my heart is not pure. How can I practice if my heart is not pure?" Shi Fang bowed to Liu Linxi, and said, "Please don't tell Yi'er, Queen Father, I don't want him to know who gave birth to me." A sinner who betrayed the feast."

Shifang had been a monk after all, Liu Linxi couldn't beat him in this respect, but he naturally refused to let Shifang go.He thought to himself that the young man was probably on the edge of a corner for a while, and he should think about it after a while, but he didn't expect that Shi Fang had made up his mind, and knelt in the hall of Yi Nian for three days and three nights, without any water.

In the end, it was Li Yi who was in a hurry, and knelt down to beg Liu Linxi to let Shifang go back to Qingyin Temple.

A few days later, Shifang left the palace, but Li Yi didn't go to see him off.

Before leaving, Shifang asked Liu Linxi to bring him a sentence.

Shi Fang said: I agreed to the matter that Yi'er begged me when he was ill that day...

Li Yi was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, he remembered the ridiculous request he made that day:

He begged Shifang not to marry anyone else...

Shifang really agreed to him, and everyone went to the temple to clean up, so naturally they couldn't get married.

[16 years old - reunion]

Li Yi was 16 years old and Shifang was 21 years old.

16-year-old Li Yi is already a mature young man. His appearance follows Li Yi, and his temper also follows Li Yi when he grows up. He usually has a serious face and looks like Li Yan. 20 Years ago.

Counting it, it has been three years since Shifang went to Qingyin Temple.

In the past three years, Shifang has not gone down the mountain.

Liu Linxi would take her children to visit Qingyin Temple every December and July, but for some reason, Li Yi was reluctant to go.So for three years, he became the only person in the whole family who hadn't seen Shifang.

He also never asked about Shifang's affairs. If others talked about it, he would listen quietly and make no comments after listening.Liu Linxi didn't know what was on the boy's mind, so he asked Shi Fang, but Shi Fang just chuckled and said a few words of Zen, but Liu Linxi didn't understand, so he didn't ask.

But every year when he came back from Qingyin Temple, Liu Linxi would deliberately arrange for Su Heng to go to Li Yi to talk about what he had seen and heard in Qingyin Temple. For example, when they went there in the first year, they saw Shifang shaved his head. Very handsome, but the whole person looks calm, like a monk.

One year when they went up the mountain in the twelfth lunar month, the ten directions were caught in the wind and cold. Seeing that his quilt was thin, Liu Linxi wanted to give new quilts to all the monks in the temple, but was rejected.The monks of Qingyin Temple are used to hard work, they rely on themselves for food, clothing, housing and transportation, even this quilt is also the cotton they grow themselves.

In the twelfth lunar month of this year, after everyone came back from the temple, Su Heng went to find Li Yi again. This time he not only told what he had seen and heard in the temple, but also gave Li Yi a talisman before leaving.

When the small piece of paper was stuffed into Li Yi's hand by Su Heng, Li Yi was a little stunned.

He opened his palm to look at the amulet, and asked, "Where did it come from?"

Su Heng smiled, and said, "The third highness and the two princesses all asked for it by themselves. His highness thought that His Highness the Crown Prince didn't go, so he personally asked for one and asked me to bring it to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"He..." Li Yi suddenly lost his voice, and after a while he continued to ask, "What did he say?"

"His Royal Highness said... I asked for this one myself, please Eunuch Su bring it to Yi'er." Su Heng imitated Shifang's tone.

Yier...

Shifang called him by his name, not His Royal Highness.

Li Yi looked down at the little amulet, his eyes suddenly turned red.Su Heng seemed to see that the frost on the opponent's body that had been wrapped for three years suddenly shattered into pieces, and the heart wrapped in the frost seemed to be ignited by the little amulet, burning red flames.

For three years, this master has never asked the one in Qingyin Temple.

The one in Qingyin Temple has never asked this one...

The two of them seem to have a natural tacit understanding, and this little amulet today easily broke this tacit understanding.

"Your Highness..." Su Heng asked softly.

"Prepare the horse, I'm going out of the city alone." Li Yi carefully put the amulet into his pocket, took a cloak and put it on his body, and strode out of the bedroom.

Li Yi was very familiar with the road out of the city. He had galloped there countless times, but every time he stopped at the foot of the mountain.That person on the mountain was so determined to leave him back then, he would rather go to the monastery to practice than stay in the palace, so he almost fell ill due to hunger strike.

Back then, Li Yi personally begged Liu Linxi to let Shi Fang out of the palace.

Since that person wants to leave, who can stop him?

Li Yi never asked Shifang why he abandoned himself, he didn't dare to ask, and he was too embarrassed to ask.He was afraid that the other party would find out that he was still the little crying boy who would act coquettishly and cry ten years ago. He was afraid that the other party would laugh at him. He was so weak for such a big man...

He was even more afraid that the other party would tell him an answer that he didn't want to hear.

For this reason, Li Yi has never been to the mountain for three years.

Every time he expected to hear Shifang ask about him from Liu Linxi and the others, but every time he was disappointed.Su Heng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, every time he came back, he wished he could tell him everything Shi Fang had said, and he didn't even miss a few bowls of vegetarian food.

If Shifang asked him, Su Heng would definitely not not tell him.

For three years, Li Yi had longed for it again and again, and was disappointed again and again.

To this day, this is the first time Shifang has mentioned him on his own initiative.

Li Yi could hardly bear the extravagant hope that perhaps in the past three years, the other party had not completely forgotten him.At least when we don't see him every year when we reunite, I can think of him a little bit in my heart.

Just this one is enough.

Li Yi went out of the city overnight, and when he reached the top of the mountain, the monks in the temple had already gotten up to chant scriptures.

There was a head of frost on his head, he stood at the gate of the monastery hesitating for a moment and then suddenly flinched.

What's the matter with him running around like this?

Brother probably won't be pleasantly surprised, but will only be frightened, right?

You might think he's crazy!

Li Yi stared at the temple gate for a long while, and suddenly became a little discouraged.

As much as he missed each other, he was afraid of seeing him.

Only now did he know what it means to be close to home and feel timid.

Forget it, let's go back before being seen.

Before Li Yi turned his head, he heard a creak from the door, and the temple door opened in response.

Li Yi subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw a young monk standing at the door. He was wearing a patched gray monk robe and shaved his head, but he still couldn't hide his handsome features and indifferent demeanor.The monk was startled when he saw Li Yi, then his eyes lit up and he recognized Li Yi.

"Yi'er?" the monk called out in a low voice.

"It's me." Li Yi looked a little helpless, his voice choked up, and he just looked at the other party in a daze.

After three years of separation, his elder brother has passed the year of weak crown.

And he has become the prince of a country, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to hug each other and cry.

Shi Fang took two steps forward, carefully sizing up the young man in front of him. When he left the palace three years ago, the young man was only 13 years old. Now, in just three short years, the young man is already half a head taller than himself.

"Is it cold?" Shi Fang asked when he saw the frost on his head.

"Not cold." Li Yi shook his head, nodded again and said, "It's a bit cold."

Hearing the words, Shi Fang stretched out his hands to tighten the cloak on Li Yi's body, and said, "There is a vegetarian meal in the temple, I will warm it up for you, and take a bite to keep you warm."

Li Yi nodded when he heard the words, and followed Shifang into the temple.

Shi Fang personally helped Li Yi heat up the porridge, and watched Li Yi finish it with a big gulp, and there was a smile on his face.

"I'm going out to sweep the floor in a while, you stay warm in the house." Shi Fang said.

"I'll sweep it for you." Li Yi said.

Shi Fang wanted to refuse, but when he saw the boy's eyes full of expectation, he nodded.

Poor Li Yi didn't do any rough work in the palace since he was a child, and now he didn't sleep all night and swept the floor all morning.Fortunately, he has been practicing martial arts with Li Yan, and his body is not thin, so this amount of activity will not make him tired.

"Are your hands cold?" Shi Fang asked.

Li Yi wanted to shake his head, but after thinking for a while, he stretched out his hand towards Shi Fang and said, "It's cold, brother, warm me up."

Shi Fang was taken aback, but still reached out and took Li Yi's hand.

The young man's hand has distinct joints and slender fingers, slightly bigger than Shi Fang's hand.

"Do you sweep the floor every day?" Li Yi asked.

"Everyone takes turns sweeping, but I do it every seven days." Shi Fang said.

Li Yi's cold hands continued to emit warmth, and the warmth flowed through the back of his hand to some of the softest places in his heart. Li Yi's world, which had been dimmed for a long time, seemed to be revived because of that warmth. the brilliance.

"I'll sweep the floor for you again in seven days," Li Yi said.

Shi Fang was taken aback when he heard the words, before he could answer, he turned around and walked down the mountain with big strides.

Under the rising sun, Li Yi's tall and straight figure gradually drifted away, just like when he came, abrupt and righteous.

Shi Fang looked at the back of the other party, and a smile could not help but float on the corner of his mouth.

His boy has really grown up now.
