Li Zhang

In all honesty, Sima Yi is not a difficult master to serve.

For several days, Li Zhang carefully waited on him. Sima Yi didn't ask him to do too many things. Except for taking care of tea and ink, he just stood aside most of the time, and Li Zhang was only at the first time. After nervously spilling some tea and being glared at by Sima Yi, there was basically nothing wrong with it.Li Zhang's tense heart finally relaxed.

This day coincided with the birthday of Concubine Rong Mi, Sima Yi entered the palace to pay her respects.

Concubine Min is the younger sister of the late Mingde Empress Rong Ning, and also the biological aunt of Sima Yi.Rong Ning brought her pregnant into the palace back then, and gave birth to Sima Yi before she could be canonized, and died of a serious illness soon after.Emperor Jing was heartbroken, and the posthumous title Empress Mingde has been unwilling to become a queen.When Sima Yi was three years old, Concubine Zhao, who was in charge of taking care of him, was poisoned to death, and Emperor Jing was furious.Soon Rong Mi went to the palace to take care of Sima Yi, and was later named a noble concubine.In recent years, Emperor Jing almost exclusively favored her.

In the afternoon, Concubine Mi went out of the palace with Sima Yi, and Sima Yi held a congratulatory banquet for her in the palace, and all the princes and officials who were fighting openly and secretly came to the palace to congratulate her.For a while, the palace was decorated with lanterns, festoons, and melodious joy, and all the congratulatory guests were even more gorgeous and beautiful, with extraordinary bearing.Li Zhang stayed awake and waited with everyone, while secretly remembering everyone's preferences, hoping to make no mistakes.

Before the banquet, the Great Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince each took a chance to have a private conversation with Sima Yi, trying to find out what he said.Sima Yi was impeccable, he put on the air of a flirtatious prince, and had no intention of getting involved in party disputes.Concubine Compassion is favored day by day but has no heirs, and Sima Yi has a ridiculous reputation but has never been disliked by Emperor Jing.

After Li Zhang served the tea for Sima Yi for the third time, Sima Yi narrowed his eyes, and squeezed Li Zhang's arm, who was stared nervously, in front of the Eighth Prince.Li Zhang's heart skipped a beat, the ambiguity forced a rosy glow on his face, he hurriedly bowed his head and retreated.The Eighth Prince looked like he hadn't seen him, and drank his tea with his head down.

During the dinner that night, there were boos and dancing clothes flying around, Li Zhang just wanted to hide in front of people, but Sima Yi asked him to change into a luxurious white silk robe to accompany him behind him.Although Li Zhang is weak in writing, he is a very beautiful young man.Being deliberately placed in front of people like this makes her look even more beautiful, with a pretty face and a shy face, which complements the Fengshen Junyi who sits calmly and calmly, making it impossible to ignore.

Sitting next to Sima Yi, Rong Mi looked back at Li Zhang frequently, and then looked at Sima Yi, and couldn't help but sigh softly.The biological mother died young and the cause of death was very suspicious, and the sudden death of Concubine Zhao had a profound impact on Sima Yi.Rong Mi still remembered that when he first entered the palace, the little Sima Yi stared at him coldly, his eyes were not the suspicion and vigilance of a three-year-old child, she was full of desolation, and her heart ached uncontrollably.Sima Yi was taciturn and gloomy throughout his childhood. When he was young, he became arrogant and domineering because of the favor of Emperor Jing. He was also punished by Emperor Jing to confine his feet in the palace for a year.A year later, Sima Yi, who reappeared in front of everyone, became sensual, thinking about the beautiful scenery outside the palace wall every day, which made Emperor Jing a headache, but he never punished him more severely. Instead, he was let out after he became an adult. Gong Kaifu.

In the past two years, the princes have come of age one after another, but the position of the crown prince has always been vacant, and there are voices in the court to establish the crown prince as soon as possible.The powerful concubine Cheng Gui of her mother's family is even more aggressive with the queen mother from inside and outside. Concubine Yi also relies on her elder brother who is the Minister of the Ministry of War and her cousin who is the general of Dingbei to manage the Eighth Prince's affairs.As for the great prince, although his mother and concubine died young, as the eldest son, there are many people who cheer for him.Coupled with the fact that the seven princes who are all-faced and exquisite are pushing the waves from left to right, the whole capital city is like a deep pool of deep water that is calm on the surface and turbulent in the dark, with the possibility of erupting at any time.

Although Rong Mi doesn't care about political affairs, Sima Yi is the child of Emperor Jing's favorite elder sister. If the Empress Dowager hadn't insisted on blocking her, her elder sister would have been Empress when she first entered the palace, instead of gaining a false name after her death.Rong Mi always felt that the crown prince should belong to Sima Yi.She had asked Sima Yi in private that if he had the heart, he would try his best to fight for him even if the Rong family had no court background to support.But Sima Yi was always fooling around, and told her not to get involved, and just keep her father's favor.So she, who only dotes on the harem, becomes the most leisurely one in the palace, and it also saves her a lot of energy and makes her more graceful.

Finally, when the music ended, Li Zhang heaved a sigh of relief and returned to his residence.As soon as he sat down, Director He came in with several servants, brought in bathtubs and hot water one by one, and put a delicate sandalwood box on the table.

Li Zhang stood up and looked at Mr. He inexplicably.

Manager He said in a business-like manner: "Please prepare yourselves well, the prince has ordered you to call your son to bed tonight."

Li Zhang suddenly turned pale.

Li Zhang had heard of the reputation of the Third Prince, so he might not have thought about it when he left home that day.But for a few days, there was nothing wrong with each other, and the young man finally took chances, but unexpectedly he couldn't escape.

Regardless of his willingness or not, Mr. He left behind a middle-aged servant named He Ping to make preparations for him by himself.

Li Zhang was ashamed, embarrassed and at a loss, so he could only let He Ping take care of him. After bathing and cleaning, he was stuffed and stretched out, and he was put on the bed in thin obscene clothes.With his eyes tightly closed, he felt someone come in, wrap him in a quilt and hug him away, his body couldn't stop shaking.

After walking not far, Li Zhang felt that he was put on the bed again.There is a faint aroma around the nose, but it is very quiet.He couldn't help pricking up his ears, and then opened his eyes in shock from the sudden pressure.

Sima Yi propped his hands beside Li Zhang's head, and was looking down at him, the indulgence in his eyes receded the moment Li Zhang opened his eyes, replaced by Li Zhang's familiar indifference and meanness.He slowly and casually opened the quilt wrapped around Li Zhang's body, and then the obscene clothes, looking at the exposed, slightly trembling young body, he provoked a smile, but it was so cold that Li Zhang closed his eyes again.

Sima Yi didn't care, Li Zhang closed his eyes.He hated seeing the panic in his eyes, which made him miss Ling Yuncong's arrogance even more.But with his eyes closed, Li Zhang looked a little more like Ling Yuncong, and he couldn't help but have a little tender yearning, which in turn burned his body's desire.

He opened Li Zhang's body, looked at the things in his mouth playfully, and his smile deepened.

Sima Yi has a great reputation as a prodigal, although he has just passed the weak crown, in addition to a princess, there are five or six beauties and dancers in the mansion, three or two young ladies and gentlemen, and Li Zhang is not No. 1.But in fact, Sima Yi is not indulgent.It's just that the court dispute has become a little fierce these days. Although Sima Yi is dormant in the depths under the guise of fame, the boiling water has more or less begun to affect him, so he can only do more drama.What's more, Ling Yuncong that day indeed aroused an unusual emotion in his heart that he had never experienced before—emotion.

He slowly pulled out the object and threw it aside without looking at it.Looking critically at the rather thin body in front of him, thinking of Ling Yuncong's uprightness in his vigor, the little tenderness in his heart also receded.He snorted coldly, lowered Li Zhang's legs, stared at the pale face somewhat similar to Ling Yuncong, and bumped into it without mercy.

Li Zhang yelled in pain and struggled instinctively, but he couldn't hold back even a bit in Sima Yi's hands, so he habitually begged for mercy.Ever since he was punished by his father for his stubbornness when he was five years old, and his mother cried until he fainted, he has never been stubborn in the bullying of his brothers.And he who is no longer stubborn really suffered a lot less at the hands of his father and brother, but it is true that as his mother said, he has been much safer since then.So, in this sudden and never-before-experienced misery, he tried his best to put on a weak and low posture as usual, just hoping to escape the disaster as usual.

Unexpectedly, seeing him like this, Sima Yi became even more tyrannical, and slapped his cheeks fiercely, causing several finger marks to become red and swollen, and blood oozes from the corner of his mouth.

"Don't cry! Don't beg for mercy!"

Li Zhang was beaten to the point of dizziness, his body and body were in pain like being cut with a blunt instrument, he couldn't hear what Sima Yi said, he just cried and begged for mercy repeatedly, struggling to escape the pain that pinned him down.

Sima Yi had always been gentle on the bed, but at this time he was burned by some evil fire. The person in front of him was Li Zhang at one time and Ling Yuncong at another, and no matter whether it was Li Zhang or Ling Yuncong, they were shaking their heads desperately crying. It made him want to ravage deeper and harder.So while cursing harshly, he rammed hard, his hands constantly pinching the trembling jade-colored body covered in cold sweat.

Li Zhang's cries gradually became hoarse and almost inaudible, and finally he passed out from Sima Yi's hard impact.Sima Yi panted and pressed on Li Zhang, looking at Li Zhang's soft side face for a long time without returning to his senses.He felt that the things that had been tense and suppressed in his heart loosened a little, and the violent emotions gradually dissipated.

He sat up, scratched the tear stains on Li Zhang's face with his fingers, and had a new consideration in his heart.

When Li Zhang was awake, he had returned to his small courtyard. Mr. He, who was sitting at the table drinking tea, saw that he was awake, and slowly explained the punishment of the third prince: indulge in disobedience, twenty sticks.

Li Zhang doesn't know how he endured the punishment, under such circumstances, with such charges...

There are boards knocked down heavily on his body, and there is a whisper like a poisonous insect in his ears.He didn't understand why he was so humiliated, just because his cousin borrowed his name?Where should he appeal his grievances? !He has known since he was a child that there is no one to rely on, and there are difficulties everywhere in this world, but he is so overbearing that he is deprived of even being soft and begging for mercy, so what should he do?

He wished he could die under the rod.In the depths of her depressed mind, she is always reluctant to part with her sick and weak mother.He didn't know what kind of face he had to go back to see his mother, but he was still reluctant.

The mother said that he was her only support, and he could no longer protect her from the wind and rain, but he still hoped that she could take care of her for the rest of her life-even if it was just deceiving herself, she would have a chance if she lived alone.

Thinking of this, Li Zhang felt ruthless in his heart. No matter what, no matter how hard it was, he would try his best to live for his mother.

It was past noon when Li Zhang woke up again.He lay on his stomach in a daze with eyes open, looking at the plain bed curtains, the third prince's scolding and snickering in the torture room kept flashing in his ears, his head hurt like several heavy hammers being hammered one after another, My heart was so painful that I couldn't breathe, but my eyes were dry.

He moved a bit, felt as if his body was broken in two, numb from the pain from the waist down, and snorted unbearably.

Someone came and lifted his upper body, and put a bowl full of water to his lips.He lowered his head and drank it slowly, his throat that had been honed by sand and stones finally felt a little better.

"Thank you." Li Zhang thanked softly, his voice still hoarse and grinding.

"My lord, you don't have to thank me. I'm here to serve you. My name is He Qing."

With a clear and clear voice, Li Zhang turned his head to look, and seeing a boy not much older than himself, he said in a daze, "I'm just a servant, I'm not a son."

"Young Master, you are joking. Manager He ordered you to do something wrong." He Qing spoke seriously, so Li Zhang stopped talking.

After closing his eyes to regain his energy, Li Zhang struggled to get up.He loves cleanliness by nature, and after all the troubles last night, he still feels unbearably filthy when he thinks about it, and he just wants to go to the well to have a good wash.

He Qing, who came in with a medicine bowl, saw it at a glance, and hurried a few steps in surprise, put down the bowl to help him.

"Just tell He Qing what you want, my lord. The doctor told you to stay in bed for a few days before going to the field."

"I...I want to wash up."

"Young Master, He Qing had already washed you when you fell asleep, and only then did you apply the medicine. Can you wash it later?"

Li Zhang was stunned, remembering how bad the wound was, and bit his lip tightly.

He Qing was originally a close servant of Mr. Aiyu, so he naturally understood Li Zhang's embarrassment, but he couldn't persuade him, so he could only support Li Zhang as if nothing happened, and took the medicine bowl to feed him.

"I'll do it myself." Li Zhang drank the medicine with his eyes lowered, then lay down on his side, speechless.
