Shu Xingmi was speechless, what else could he say?

The younger brother asked him why he came home.

Because in Shu Xingmi's heart, home is a place that will never reject him, despise him, or treat him as inferior. It may not be the most beautiful, luxurious, and magnificent place, but it is the most kind, warmest, and most beautiful place. clean place.

Everything is a self-indulgent fantasy.

My family looked at me differently. My younger sister was still too young, so I simply felt that my brother had changed.Dad doesn't say anything on the surface, but he is actually on guard against him. He heard that once a person becomes a eunuch, he will become moody and irritable. Hugging her, my mother was also a little scared, but she still maintained a kind attitude. My younger brother is just at the age of not being afraid of being "disgusted by dogs". Up.

"What are you talking about?" Mother twisted Xiaolang's cheek hard, Xiaolang snorted coldly, stood up and went back to the house.

"Children are ignorant, don't take it to heart." Dad went down to the ground to serve Shu Xingmi a bowl of porridge, and the family would depend on him for support in the future, so he had to speak kindly.

"Brother... woo woo..." The younger sister sat on her father's lap, spreading her tender five fingers to hug her brother. She also sensed that her brother was in a bad mood, and tears fell from her eyes.

"What are you crying about! It's the Chinese New Year's Eve, how unlucky!" Dad glared at my younger sister with a straight face, and the younger sister shrank back and sobbed in fright.

"I'll coax her." Shu Xingmi opened his arms slightly, and his father hesitated for a moment, so he had to send his younger sister to Shu Xingmi. Shu Xingmi hugged his younger sister and gently stroked her head: "Okay, don't cry." ..."

The younger sister threw herself into Shu Xingmi's arms, her small body twitched, and gradually calmed down, her cheeks were wet, Shu Xingmi took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears away.

While drinking the porridge while snoring, daddy glanced at Shu Xingmi, and once he glanced at him, he was shocked. Is he still a man who is so gentle?There is no masculinity at all, it is too strange, it is said to be a man, but there is no such thing, it is said to be a woman, but it is not, so what is he?

Dad quickly drank the porridge, ate every grain of rice, and licked the porridge in the bowl carelessly, burped his stomach, and his mind became clear—anyway, the eunuch is different from him, and he is normal People, the eunuch is not a normal person, so it's normal that he can't understand it, just like a person will never understand what a pig is thinking, but there is no need to understand, as long as he sends the money home on schedule.

Speaking of which, Shu Xingmi is supporting the family, shouldn't his parents and younger brother treat him better?In fact, it is not necessarily true. The old age of eunuchs is quite miserable. Because old eunuchs cannot serve in the palace, they will be released from the palace. After they leave the palace, they lack the skills to make a living. Many people have to go to the street to beg for a living, or throw themselves into the well Hanging himself, life would be much easier if he had family members to help him. When Shu Xingmi gets old, he will have to rely on his younger siblings, so he must continue to support his family and win the favor of his younger siblings.

Of course, eunuchs with higher status had the financial resources to buy some land and not worry about retirement in old age, but such eunuchs accounted for a very small proportion in the entire palace, perhaps only one in a hundred people, and most eunuchs did not have such ability.

Because of this, the younger brother can directly vent his grievance of being discriminated against by his peers on Shu Xingmi. Although he is young, he knows very well in his heart that this brother will rely on him in the future, no matter how much he vents his anger, He too has to suffer.

After dinner, Shu Xingmi and mother washed the dishes together. Mother told Shu Xingmi to be careful in the palace, learn to endure, and don't forget the family if there is any benefit. Shu Xingmi agreed, and heard his younger brother in the palace Ask Dad outside the kitchen: "When will he leave...?"

Mother sighed, wiped her hands, and patted Shu Xingmi on the shoulder, meaning "don't take it to heart".

"Don't worry, mother."

Shu Xingmi became a little numb, and numbness makes people invulnerable to all poisons and invulnerable to swords and guns.

Shu Xingmi wiped the bowl clean and put it on the dilapidated wooden shelf, then turned around and walked to the main room. His younger brother sat on the low stool, put a piece of silver in the red paper bag into his mouth, took it out, it was still brand new silver , like the moonlight kneaded.

"I'm going back to the palace, the next time I come back will probably be the Mid-Autumn Festival." Shu Xingmi patted his sister's head.

"Okay, next time when you come back, mother will let you eat mooncakes no matter what." Mother looked at him reluctantly.

Shu Xingmi walked out of the house, and his mother held his younger sister at the door to watch him leave. He looked back at them repeatedly until he turned a corner and was out of sight. , Frozen creek.

On the winding path, Shu Xingmi's shadow is vague and thin.

Going to the palace again.

The people in the palace belittled him, insulted him, and looked down on him. He thought it would be different at home, at least his family would not.Wrong, in fact, it is the same everywhere.

He still had a few copper coils in his sleeve, so he poured them out and counted them again, and went to the entrance of the village to hire a donkey cart.

On the way, Shu Xingmi saw the cemetery in the village, the large and small, scattered graves, like white flour steamed buns growing out of the ground.

Eunuchs cannot be buried in ancestral tombs after death, they are not offered memorial tablets, and are not subject to sacrifices. They are servants of others in life and wandering lonely ghosts after death.

The prince, the emperor and the queen had finished their lunch, and they were watching songs and dances on the Juanfeng Building in the palace. Concubine Liang, Concubine You, and other princes and princesses were also there. Le, the prince was bored, got up and went to the porch to watch the scenery in the palace.

The Juanfeng Building has six floors and is the highest point in the palace. Looking from the railing, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery in the palace. The white snow flows between the tile eaves and trees, and is shrouded in pale golden sunlight, shining harsh, restrained and noble. beauty of.

Breathing the cold air, the prince thought to himself that he should be as restrained as this ice and snow.

I can't see that little servant again, obviously I haven't seen him a few times, but when I close my eyes, his face emerges from time to time, his voice comes to my ears from time to time, and my heart looks forward to his appearance from time to time.

The queen mother came to the banquet today, the prince thought she would come with a wish, but it turned out that the other two servants came, the prince was a little surprised by the momentary loss in his heart.

He is sensitively aware that he seems to be addicted to a person. Although he has not reached the level of extreme desire, he already has a small expectation. This is a dangerous sign and should be cut off in time.

In the future, we should try our best to minimize meeting with Shun Shun, and even if we meet, don't look at him, and don't initiate conversations.

The addiction is not serious, it is still too late to quit, the prince thought optimistically.

He continued to overlook the palace, and a familiar figure appeared on the long, clean path. Even though it was far away and small, the crown prince recognized him at a glance. It was Shunyi. The obvious difference between Shunyi and other eunuchs was that he walked At the time, the waist was straighter, and there was a unique temperament in the gait, which could not be articulated by the mouth, but could be discerned by the eyes.

Has he returned from visiting relatives?

For some reason, the prince felt that Shu Xingmi's footsteps seemed to be different from usual, he walked a little slowly, with his head bowed, his back was as lonely as a ghost, where was he going?

The prince's eyes followed Shu Xingmi's figure unconsciously, watching him pass through one palace road after another.

Isn't that direction Huangyuan?

The prince entered the table and whispered a few words to the queen mother, then went downstairs.

Huangyuan is the coldest place in the palace, because this place is cold in winter and hot in summer, usually no one comes here, and it gradually becomes deserted. The dead grass in the garden is buried by snow, a few dead trees stand quietly, the lake is dry, and the fish at the bottom of the lake The bones have long been rotten with the mud.

The prince stepped into the desolate garden. The snow here was not cleaned by anyone, which perfectly exposed Shu Xingmi's footprints. The prince searched for the footprints and found that Shu Xingmi was standing in the corner of the garden, facing the corner.

"All right?" the prince called out to him.

The person in the corner trembled, startled, and turned his face away.

"His Royal Highness, Jin An."

His face was covered with tears, even the front of his clothes were wet, his eyes were as red as the rabbit raised by the queen mother, and his voice was also nasal.Although he tried his best to control his voice, he couldn't help but choked up.

The prince's heart seemed to be severely twisted by someone, and he was inexplicably nervous: "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"

Shu Xingmi shook his head, raised his arm and wiped his face: "No. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

He was just feeling wronged, and wanted to find a place to cry, but tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the palace is full of joy, there is no room for sadness, after much deliberation, this is the only place where no one will come, but the prince found out up.

Why did the prince come here?Shu Xingmi was puzzled.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, the crown prince didn't ask any further, he pondered for a while and said: "It's so boring to cry against the wall, I will lend you my chest."

There were still tears in the corners of Shu Xingmi's eyes, he wondered if he heard it wrong...

Seeing that Shu Xingmi didn't move, the prince opened his arms: "Today's daily deeds are not finished yet, so I just happened to meet you, don't be cautious, come on."

Shu Xingmi moved forward a step and a half, gently resting his head on the prince's chest, tears streaming down his face.

The prince found that the little servant's crying was also very distinctive. He opened his mouth as if to cry loudly, but there was no crying at all, only the trembling sound of breathing. He suppressed all the voices under his throat, swallowing with.

For some reason, crying like this is more heart-wrenching than crying out loud.

The rational villain in the prince's mind whispered bb: Didn't you say that you don't want to meet with Shun in the future, even if you do, don't look at him, don't initiate conversations?

The emotional villain in the prince's mind covered the rational villain's mouth: Shut up.
