The Obsessive Shou Moves On 63: bamboo horse: childhood and first encounter

li ying has a benevolent father and a mother who is harsh to the extreme, but still loves him.

at least, he had always felt this way before he knew that zhang shixue was not his biological mother.

he was not born his royal highness, although he was a concubine. but because he was the third eldest among his brothers, everyone called him his royal highness.

in the years when he was the third highness, zhang shixue was quite harsh on him, so harsh that when he was two years old, he beat his palm with a ring ruler because he could not recite poetry, and when he was three years old, he smoked more than a dozen lashes because he could not keep his horse stride.

the father emperor did not like zhang shixue, so he rarely set foot in her palace, and he never found out about it.

so how did she love him?

she would personally medicate him when he was covered in bruises, and tell him with tears: “the queen mother is all for your own good, if you don’t study hard, don’t let your father and emperor see your excellence, how can you become a prince?”

xiao li ying trusted her and carefully asked, “but it hurts.” zhang shixue

blew the palm of his hand in pain and told him in a warm voice: “the queen mother will go back lightly next time.” in

the beginning, he would believe.

but then he found out that as she got older, she would only get heavier and heavier, and the so-called next time was a lie to coax him.

so he stopped crying out in pain. <

li ying is a very good-tempered child, simply put, he was very well-behaved in his childhood, and it is easy to be soft-hearted, even if he is beaten more, as long as zhang shixue cries, he will feel that his mother is for my good.

when he was about five years old, on the birthday of his father, he and many of the children of the family who came to the palace with their father to celebrate their birthdays recited more poems than anyone else. those children were no better than him, it was the first time he had gained vanity from children of the same age, and he stayed for a long time that night, until zhang shixue sent someone to call him, and then he left in a hurry.

as soon as he entered the palace, he found his mother’s back to him, and she opened her mouth gracefully: “today, ah ying, there is a great limelight.” he was

a little cautious, and his young voice was a little childish, but his words were very clear: “they are not as good as me.”

he used to be proud of zhang shixue, but the other party laughed dismissively: “your purpose is not to make a splash, it is to please your father and emperor, only your father is the one who decides your fate.”

li ying logically and clearly retorted: “as long as i am good enough, the father and emperor will always see…”

zhang shixue gave him a whip with his backhand.

for him, beatings were commonplace, and he fell to his knees with interest.

zhang shixue said, “li ying, i forced you to do your homework and hope that you can become a talent, not to make you stand out, not to make you liked, not to satisfy your vanity, i want you to be a prince, do you understand?” <

li ying lowered his eyelashes and said, “ah ying is wrong.” “do

you know that when i was pregnant with empress wei, it was because your father and emperor liked her, so her child was made crown prince before she was born, even if the child died at birth, but he would always be the second prince, and you would only be ranked third if you were born a quarter of an hour later than him.”

when li ying was young, he heard her say how much empress wei was pampered and how vicious she was, and he bowed his head and listened to her complain: “my zhang family is also working hard for your father and emperor, and i also gave birth to a son for him, but what did i get?” ah ying, what did i get? i can only endure the heartache to force my child to become a talent, so hard to get half of his attention! “

hitting the child hurts in the mother’s heart.” zhang shixue said, “ah ying, you must fight for your mother’s queen, don’t associate with those children who are inconsistent, your goal is the father and emperor, understand?”

“but if i am a prince, i will always work with them in the future, and if i can get true friends, i will benefit me in the future and do no harm.” li ying did not understand: “why does the mother and queen have to prevent their children from associating with them?” do you really want me to be a prince? another

whip was drawn on his face, he shrank in pain, zhang shixue had already said: “you must remember, all your talents now are given to you by me, if it were not for me forcing you to study, if it were not for my fierce heart, you would have made such a splash?” “the

sons and daughters did not deny the education of the mother, but only discussed the matter, if the mother really wanted me to be the prince, she should have encouraged me to associate with the family, the court is not the father’s father’s word hall, blindly trying to please the father and emperor, it is better to find another way, when i have a reputation, the father and emperor will not establish me…”

“come on!” zhang shixue interrupted him: “take the ring ruler.” <

she came to him with a somber face, “hands outstretched.”

li ying reflexively put his hand behind his back.

“reach out!”

he pursed his lips and said, “ah ying knows that he is wrong.” the

ruler jerked his face, and the woman shouted, hand!

li ying trembled and put his hand out.

that time, in order to correct his thoughts, zhang shixue hit him many times, he couldn’t remember how many times, only remembered that the palm of his hand was blurred with blood and flesh, and finally fainted.

he had a high fever that burned for three days and three nights.

when he woke up, the father, who did not look at him on a normal day, was sitting in front of him, his eyes kind and gentle.

“awake?” tianzi said softly, “how does it feel, is it better?” “

hmm.” he moved for a moment, only to find that his palms were tightly wrapped in gauze, and the father emperor said with a calm face: “this poisonous woman, her own child can also lay such a heavy hand, ah ying, don’t be afraid, the father emperor will uphold justice for you.”

zhang shixue was locked up for three days, and when she came out, li ying found that she had been whipped. aat that time, he thought that his father was angry with himself, and it was only later that he understood, because zhang shixue mentioned empress wei in front of him, she was deliberate, that is, to use that incident to provoke the anger of his father and emperor, and then with a body full of scars to tell li ying: “don’t worry about the mother queen, the mother queen is very happy, your father and emperor finally noticed you.”

she knew that li ying had been reading the sages since childhood, and her character was extremely benevolent and filial, but she was very rational, as long as she told him that she was all for his future, li ying would regard this as a bitter meat trick and would not be alienated from her.

li yingguo really did so.

he was blessed by misfortune, entered the eyes of his father and emperor, and won the love of his father, even if he was like his father and emperor, he did not like zhang shixue very much, but as a son of man, he still tried his best to do his duty and never provoked dissension between his parents.

every time the father emperor was worried about him asking about the latest situation, he always said that everything was fine.

indeed, he did not want to be punished for his own provocation, and some innocuous things would pass.

later, zhang shixue became pregnant again, and at first, li ying was really happy, he thought he finally had brothers and sisters.

but he soon found that zhang shixue’s attitude towards li yan was completely different from his, he once thought that it was because li yan was young, so zhang shixue was reluctant to do so, and later he thought that it was because he had his brother, so li yan could naturally enjoy the favor, and then he thought later, because he had already ascended the throne, so zhang shixue had no reason to treat li yan severely…

he had been deceiving himself, but he had to admit that zhang shixue had never loved him. <

so gradually, he no longer had extravagant expectations, in the end, he had his own little bodhisattva, although the little bodhisattva gradually became extreme and paranoid, but he was the only one in his heart.

he thought that this life was also complete.

li ying and yun qingci first met because of a trip, when he had already been crowned prince, and qin feiruo finally eased his relationship with yun xiang and promised to let yun qing resign and return to xiang mansion to find his father.

yun qingci was very young, seven years old and still like five years old, the night before, he was pressed by qin feiruo to take a bath in a wooden basin, and the whole person was soaked in water, like a white jade ball.

while pouring water on him, qin feiruo instructed him: “when you go back this time, if someone bullies you, you must tell ah niang, do you know?” “brother

and daddy won’t bully me.”

“mother means, if someone else bullies you.” qin feiruo reminded him: “don’t put up with something, just say it, and only children who will make trouble will have candy to eat.”

“then if you want to eat iced lotus seeds, you can also make trouble?”

qin feiruo’s face was flat: “ice can’t be eaten.” “

oh.” yun qingci looked very disappointed, lowered his head to cut his own navel eye, and then was punched by qin feiruo’s paw: “don’t pick randomly, be careful of stomach pain.”

yun qingci obediently shrank his hands, and if qin feiruo had washed him almost, he took a blanket and wrapped him up and carried him to the bed to wipe him clean. <

yun qingci raised his thin white arm and wrinkled his nose to smell, qin feiruo was not angry: “smell what?”

“if you want incense, go see daddy.”

“i’ll give you incense tomorrow.” qin feiruo pressed him to the bed, xiao yunqing’s eyes grunted, but she refused to close her eyes, she couldn’t help but ask, “so happy?” yun qingci wanted

to say that he was happy, because he had never seen his father much since he was a child, and he was very envious of a child with a father, but in his mother’s eyes, he swallowed the words again, wrapped his arms around her neck and rubbed her, and tender said: “because i don’t want ah niang.”

“just your mouth is sweet.” qin feiruo kissed him on his tender face and sighed, “how can we recruit people so much… you are not allowed to have a sweet mouth in front of the little girl, do you know?

“know know know.” yun qingci said: “be dignified, be reserved, and have grace.” “

good baby.”

qin feiruo sucked on his little face again.

the next day, yun qingci put on a fragrant new dress, was taken by uncle ding to the xiang mansion, although he was unobstructed in front of ah niang, but he was very shy outside, when he saw his father, he immediately hid himself behind uncle ding, yun xiang coaxed him for half a day, he quietly poked his head out, hesitantly walked over, and was hugged by his father.

yun qingci blushed a little, and was a little scared. <

in the few days when he returned to the xiang mansion, he liked to be clingy, either clinging to his brother or clinging to his father, and was ridiculed as a small tail that could not be shaken off.

because he was the youngest child in the family, yun xiang also doted on him, almost what he wanted to give, yun qingci before the prohibition of eating in the courtyard, all tasted it after returning to the xiang mansion, he liked his father more, as long as he went to the court, he immediately stuck to it and refused to come down.

yun xiang would hold him to handle official business, and would also hold him to meet the guests, but yun qingci saw too few people in the other courtyard, and whenever there were many people, he would still hide behind him in a restrained manner and did not dare to show his face.

there is a clingy relationship between yun qingci and yun xiang, and there is also a relationship that yun xiang is reluctant to have, and on that trip, he decided to take yun qingci with him.

as soon as yun qingci heard that he was going to go out of shangyang city, and he was still taking a boat to go out to play, his eyes instantly lit up.

he specially ran back to the other courtyard to tell his mother the news, and if qin fei couldn’t bear to disappoint him, he also felt that this was a good opportunity for yun qingci to integrate into the xiang mansion and cultivate feelings with yun yu, so he agreed to him.

on the day of the trip, they met at the dock, and yun qingci had never seen such a big and beautiful boat, and he almost rushed into it –

but it happened that he plunged into a person’s chest.

he lifted his face, and his first reaction was that this man’s nose was so high, his eyes were so deep, his skin was so white, and his lips were red and very elegant.

where did the fairy brother come from.

the second reaction was, it was over, i hit someone. <

he turned his head and ran out in a hurry, stretched out his claws to grab the corner of yun xiang’s clothes, and walked in again.

li ying’s first reaction when he was hit was similar to his, when the child came to the ship, it was so good-looking, like the little boy in front of guanyin.

the second reaction was that this ship was the father’s seat, and which bold minister dared to bring such a reckless child on board.

until he opened the curtain of the ship and saw the cloud phase.

…… oh, it turned out to be the teacher’s little boy.
