"Elder-in-law" migraine

The whole Prince Yi's mansion is busy with King Yi's wedding, but King Yi has become the most leisurely person.He wanted to go to the palace to visit his mother and concubine after leaving court, but he learned that Ashina Lan was called by Concubine Shu to chat, because the two could not meet before the wedding, so Duan Yixian had to walk slowly along the gravel road in the imperial garden go.

Without knowing it, he walked to an abandoned palace in the northwest corner of the harem, and Duan Yixian stopped in his tracks.After Emperor Jingyan proclaimed himself emperor, in order to avoid protests from the people who had suffered from years of wars, he sent people to renovate the palace of the previous dynasty and move it in.

This side hall is said to be the place where Emperor Liang Ming died last, so it was locked and abandoned.But no one knows what this means to Duan Yixian.

When Duan Yixian was five years old, the former personal guard of Emperor Liang Ming visited the inner palace at night and found him. From then on, he taught him martial arts every night in this abandoned palace.Then one night, Quelin brought a two-year-old child into the palace and let him go.

Two years ago, Qielin picked up Ren Zhi, who was still a baby, by the moat and raised him up.From the moment he found Duan Yixian, Qielin almost settled down in this abandoned palace, and Ren Zhi became Duan Yixian's little follower from then on.

At that time, Ren Zhi was small, soft in his arms, and liked to study and practice martial arts with Duan Yixian. In short, as long as he was by Duan Yixian's side, he would be able to smile all day long, even if he had to stay in that abandoned place all the time. In the palace, few can go out.

Later, Ren Zhi gradually became sensible and knew everything that Duan Yixian was carrying. He took the initiative to ask to enter the palace as an in-house respondent, so Lin entrusted his old friend from many years ago and asked Ren Zhi to pretend to be a young eunuch and enter the palace.

When we meet again from now on, Duan Yixian is the supreme prince, and Ren Zhi is the most humble eunuch.There are no more those carefree, but let it seem, it's as sweet as it is.

The vermilion palace gate has become gray and mottled with cobwebs, and the big rusty lock still hangs on it, as if no one has really come here for so many years.

Duan Yixian stood at the door for a while, turned around to see that there was no one around, jumped up suddenly, turned over the dilapidated palace wall, and landed firmly.

In order to be suspected by others, when Quelin left here, he took away all the things that did not belong here.But Duan Yixian stood in the middle of the courtyard and looked around, but he could still see traces of their life together.

There used to be a soft cushion on the pavilion not far away, the little Ren Zhi liked to sit on it, while reading a book, while guarding Duan Yixian who was practicing martial arts.On the west wall, there are strange paintings engraved by Ren Zhi, as well as immature handwriting.The threshold of the main hall has tripped Ren Zhi many times...

In this abandoned palace, there are the purest and best memories of him and Ren Zhi.

Duan Yixian stood in the middle of the courtyard for a while, raised the corners of his lips slightly, then put away his smile, flipped out from the palace wall, straightened his clothes, and walked along the path towards Tongxin Hall again.

After walking out of the imperial garden, he met Emperor Jingyan walking from afar with his palace servants.Duan Yixian took a step to the side, and then saluted, Emperor Jingyan stretched out his hand to help his son up, and all the palace people behind him also saluted King Yi.

Duan Yixian glanced behind Emperor Jingyan, then immediately looked away, said a few words with Emperor Jingyan with a smile, and bowed to send Emperor Jingyan away.He kept this posture and watched the group of people go away, until he could no longer distinguish the figures of those people, then turned and continued walking towards the Hall of Concentric Minds.

Ashinalan had already returned to her residence, and the Hall of Concentric Heart returned to calm again. The palace servants saw Duan Yixian coming in, and were about to salute, but were interrupted by Duan Yixian, who asked in a low voice, "Is my mother and concubine resting?"

The palace man shook his head, "Concubine Shu is in the Buddha Hall."

Duan Yixian sighed, turned around and entered the Buddhist hall.Concubine Shu Bujie was kneeling in front of the Buddha statue, holding a rosary in her hand, chanting.

Duan Yixian squatted down next to Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu opened her eyes and glanced at him, put her hand on Duan Yixian's, and let him help her up. The mother and son walked out of the Buddhist hall, and Concubine Shu said, "Why are you so tired?" I have entered the palace, is the mansion okay? You are about to get married and you still run to the palace all day long?"

Duan Yixian helped Concubine Shu to sit down, and then sat down beside her, "Of course, the affairs of the house are prepared by the servants, and my son is rarely free, so let me indulge for a few days."

Concubine Shu raised her hand, and took off a leaf from Duan Yixian's head that she didn't know when it got on, and smiled slightly, "You are such an adult, you still walk carelessly."

Duan Yixian stroked his hair and smiled, "How is your mother's health recently? Has the imperial physician come to check your pulse on time?"

Concubine Shu waved her hand, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm in good health." After a pause, she continued, "I saw that Turkic princess today, she looks pretty good, it's not easy for a Turkic person to be polite Yes. I was worried that you would come back to... marry a barbarian girl."

Duan Yixian bent his lips, "The person I choose to be with me for life always closes my eyes."

Concubine Shu turned her head to look into Duan Yixian's eyes, and sighed, "So you just closed your eyes? For so many years, you have been wronging yourself because of that matter. I really don't want to even have a lifelong event..."

Duan Yixian withdrew his smile, "Mother and concubine don't have to worry, my son knows it well."

Concubine Shu looked at Duan Yixian for a while, sighed, and didn't speak again.There are some words that she can no longer say anymore. She instilled that idea into her son's mind at the beginning, and she has no way to return him to an ordinary life, because they have no choice.

Duan Yixian chatted with Concubine Shu for a while in Tongxin Hall, then got up and went back home.Because the day of the big wedding was getting closer and closer, the entire Yiwang Mansion was almost decorated with lights and festoons, making people dizzy.

Not long after returning to the room, Fu Sheng came in through the window, Duan Yixian turned around and glanced at him, "Isn't there anyone under me who can walk through the door?"

Fu Sheng stuck out his tongue quietly, and then returned solemnly, "This subordinate sent someone to Chen Wang's mansion to report that Gong Xihan really went to find His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince today, and stayed in his room for two hours, as if he was plotting something. matter."

Duan Yixian nodded, "Send a few more people to watch carefully. If the seventh brother can let me marry Turkic so easily, he won't be him. In addition, send a few people to secretly protect the Turkic princess. There must be no problems before the wedding .”

Fu Sheng nodded, "This subordinate understands. So, did this subordinate leave?"

Duan Yixian paused for a moment, then suddenly said, "If Ren Zhi has time tonight, let him come and find me, be careful, don't let others find out."

Fu Sheng glanced at Duan Yixian in surprise, then turned his gaze away, "This subordinate knows, so this subordinate will leave."

Haishi.At the beginning of the sound, King Yi's mansion, which has been busy all day, has fallen asleep, and even the lights in King Yi's room have been turned off.But a black figure flashed past quickly and jumped in from the window.

The room was dark, and the familiar figure was lying on the bed, as if he had fallen asleep.Ren Zhi stood by the bed for a while, but there was still no movement on the bed, he couldn't help frowning, and muttered in a low voice, "Let me come all the way here, he's fine, he's sleeping soundly." He wanted to poke the man's face, but a big hand grabbed his wrist, and he was dragged down on the bed.

Ren Zhi reflexively retaliated a few moves, but was quickly restrained by the man, the warm palm grabbed his cold wrist, warm breath fell on his face, and a voice with a smile came "Ren Zhi, your reaction is now slower than before. If the master finds out, you will probably be punished again."

Ren Zhi rolled his eyes in the darkness, "Did you call me here in the middle of the night just to test whether my kung fu has improved?"

Duan Yixian let go of his hand, and fell down again beside Ren Zhi, "Today... I went to the side hall, and I remembered many things, and suddenly I wanted to see you very much."

Ren Zhi couldn't help opening his eyes wide, turned his head to look at Duan Yixian's face through the dim light outside the window, then turned his head back again, pretending to be nonchalant, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Duan Yixian turned sideways and looked at Ren Zhi, "Ren Zhi, for so many years, you have endured humiliation and burdened my father's side because of my lack of freedom, don't you blame me?"

Ren Zhi turned his head to look at Duan Yixian, "What's wrong?"

"Blame me for being cruel, for being selfish, for not caring about your feelings... If it were me, I would definitely complain, right?" Duan Yixian sighed softly.

Ren Zhi chuckled, with indifference in his tone, "What's so strange? If there is no master, no you, I might have died in the moat long ago. Everything I do now is done willingly."

Duan Yixian stretched out his hand to hold Ren Zhi's hand, and rubbed his fingers against his palm, only to find that the white and tender hands of his childhood had grown calluses at some point, maybe after practicing martial arts, or maybe it was in the palace in the past few years. toil.It's been so many years since I have held his hand.

Being held by the hand, Ren Zhi's body was a little stiff, he couldn't help but want to shrink back, but was held tightly by the man, "Your Highness, you are a little strange tonight."

Duan Yixian pressed his finger on Ren Zhi's lips, "Don't call me Your Highness."

"What's that called?"

"What was your name when you were a child?"

"I don't remember." Ren Zhi lay flat and looked at the top of the bed. Those things in his childhood were deliberately suppressed by him, because he was afraid of revealing a certain mood of himself.

Duan Yixian stretched out his other hand and pulled Ren Zhi into his arms, with a low voice, "Don't rush back tonight, just sleep here with me. I'll call you before dawn."

Ren Zhi's head rested on that person's arms, the warm feeling made him want to sigh, he closed his eyes slightly, and didn't speak any more.
