yun xiang and li ying’s father and emperor had always been good friends, and the two of them called each other brothers and brothers outside, and they talked about everything.
they were also mixed together when they were teenagers.
except for him, it is estimated that no one would dare to bring such an indecent child to see the son of heaven.
li ying gave a salute: “teacher.” “
your royal highness the crown prince.” yun xiang returned the salute and said with a smile, “this is xiao’er’s clear resignation, come out quickly, i have seen his highness the crown prince.”
yun qingci bowed down solemnly and whispered, “i have seen his royal highness the crown prince.”
after a sudden burst of laughter, li hong said, “what is your highness, see more outside, it is good to call brother ying.”
“your majesty.” yun xiang saluted and said, “rules cannot be abolished.”
“let’s go out and play, not in the palace, and the rules will be dispensed with.” he waved at yun qingci and said, “come xiaoci, there are many delicious things here, let brother ying take you there.”
li ying received the instruction and held out his hand to yun qingci.
yun qingci hesitated to see his father, and only after getting the permission did he obediently put his hand into li ying’s hand.
yun xiang did not forget to remind: “don’t eat cold.”
at that time, the weather was in summer, and yun qingci loved to eat something cold and cold at this time, but because of yun xiang’s words, li ying specially ordered someone to take room temperature fruit to give yun qingci.
yun qingci ate two grapes, thinking that there were no ice tools on the ship, until a plate of cold grapes was placed in front of li ying, and yun qingci watched as he ate while flipping through what ghost strategy in his hand. <
yun qingci: “…”
he looked at the grapes in his hand, then at the grapes in front of li ying, swallowed without a fight, and whispered, “i want that too.”
li ying said, “the teacher said you can’t eat cold.”
“i can eat.”
“how about a sugar cake?”
“don’t.”
when yun qingci decided to start hating him, li ying finally realized in hindsight that he did not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, and his behavior was really a bit excessive, he ordered the people to remove the iced grapes in front of him, and said: “i will accompany you to eat ice, okay?”
yun qingci was very aggrieved.
li ying had no experience with children, although this child was only a year younger than him, but he looked too small, li ying was old since childhood, it was difficult to treat the delicate little young master in front of him as a peer.
he put down his book and skinned the grapes to his mouth: “oh.
yun qingci still felt aggrieved.
although daddy always reminds others not to give him a cold meal, as long as he wraps a few sounds, he will definitely be soft-hearted, and let him eat a little. but li ying ate several of them himself, but he didn’t give him any of them to eat.
but although he was very dissatisfied in his heart, when facing the overtures of others, he still obediently held out his hand, and li ying avoided his hand and said, “there is juice, don’t touch your hands.” as
soon as he said it casually, yun qingci’s face turned slightly red, and he hesitantly opened his mouth and bit the grape on li ying’s fingertip. <
“when you’re done, don’t get angry.” li ying regained his hand, peeled two more for him with his own hands, and fed them to his mouth. his attitude was gentle and serious, and yun qingci finally balanced his heart a little, and reluctantly forgave him.
it was too late to hate li ying, so i had a little bit of a good feeling for him.
the gorgeous ship left the dock, and at night, yun xiang played against tianzi, li ying and the other accompanying ministers sat on the side and watched carefully, yun qingci could also play chess, but he didn’t bother to think about it, so he moved a small horse to squeeze around his father, quietly observing li ying from his creaky nest.
li yingsheng is very elegant, gentle and not discouraged, even if he will be eight years old, but he is dressed in a strict crown, and he is already a dragon posture phoenix.
sensing his gaze, li ying turned his face to look over, and yun qingci immediately retracted his head from yun xiang’s creaky nest, unable to see his face.
there were only two children on the whole ship, li ying was given high hopes and followed his father out to see, and yun qingci was spoiled by yun xiang and simply brought out to play.
li ying groaned for a moment, thinking that he could not understand the bored panic of chess, so he got up and walked over, yun qingci was curled up behind his father and grabbed the corner of his clothes, a shadow around him pressed down, and he subconsciously raised his face.
li ying smiled at him: “deck, go?”
yun qingci greeted his father and walked out after him step by step.
before leaving the cabin, liu ziru personally put on a cloak for li ying, yun qingci looked around, and the people his father brought were not in the cabin, so he walked to the screen himself and tiptoed to grab the clothes hanging on it. <
li ying raised his chin, and liu ziru immediately stepped forward to help him take it off, and said with a smile: “little prince, come, our family will put it on you.” “no
, no.” yun qingci whispered no, he was not used to being taken care of by strangers, he took the cloak himself, awkwardly put it on his body, and touched it with his small hand for half a day, without touching the tie of the cloak.
just as he was about to take it off and put it back on, li ying walked towards him and helped him smooth out the collar, the small hand that was not much bigger than yun qingci, deftly pulled out the strap and helped him tie it on his chest.
“thank you brother prince.”
yun qingci’s voice was as thin as a mosquito, and li ying patted him on the shoulder and said calmly, “no thanks.” the deck was
very windy, as soon as yun qingci walked out, his face was twisted by the blow, li yingbo laughed, and shunshi pulled him over, using his body to help him block the direction of the wind, and said: “grab me, don’t blow it away.”
yun qingci had to sullenly stick to his side, all the way to the railing, yun xiang did not have to worry about him climbing up, because the guardrail was almost higher than him, yun qingci had to work very hard to pad his feet, in order to press his chin on it, to hold the railing against his neck, in order to see the dark river below.
li ying couldn’t help himself: “are you not eating well?”
yun qingci said subconsciously, “no.” “how
can that be so short?”
yun qingci: “…”
the careful-eyed guy was starting to get upset again. <
he was just a bit picky, and he had to be forced to eat, otherwise he would rather not eat, so he looked thin and small.
li ying was more than a head taller than him.
perhaps sensing that he had poked the little guy’s sore spot, li ying changed the subject and said, “look at the sky.”
yun qingci immediately followed up, and quickly left that bit of unhappiness behind: “stars, and the moon!” “following
us.” li ying teased him: do you like us?
“because it’s our ship that’s moving.” yun qingci corrected him, “it will follow everyone.”
li ying raised an eyebrow and said, “you know a lot.”
“hmm.”
“do you like the moon?”
“loved it.”
“why do you like it?”
“because where there is a moon, there is light, and when there is light, it is not dark.”
“are you afraid of the dark?”
“you’re afraid.”
yun qingci was afraid of the black, li ying thought, but there are few children who are not afraid of the black, and the young son of the yun family is pampered and habitual, and it is normal to be afraid of the black. <
at this time, li ying did not take yun qing’s fear of the dark seriously.
in yun qingci’s memory, the few days he spent with li ying could be said to be not salty or light, and nothing important happened, except that the other party would often accidentally step on his little tail and be remembered by him fiercely.
but that little vendetta, he remembered quickly, and forgot quickly.
later, i remembered that the most impressive thing about that trip was when the assassins attacked. it was the third stop of their disembarkation experience, what activities were being held on the street at that time, yun qingci couldn’t remember clearly, only that the old man who sold tea eggs suddenly overturned the stove, took out a long knife and stabbed at tianzi, yun qingci retreated in a panic, subconsciously wanted to go to find his father, but his father looked at him again and rushed straight to tianzi who was forced by the sword blade.
he was overwhelmed and turned back to try to find someone who could be sheltered, and then a cold wind struck in front of him, li ying was also self-conscious, but he had some martial arts skills, very cleverly dodged several sword blades at this moment, and picked up the stone on the ground and threw it over, and the stone hit the assassin’s long sword.
the blade that would have penetrated his heart penetrated his lungs.
it hurt very much, and yun qingci, who was in pain, shed tears on the spot, and li ying swooped over and shouted: “teacher! ah ci is injured!
after that, there was a flurry of soldiers and horses, yun qingci couldn’t remember clearly, he only knew that his consciousness had been floating and sinking, the voices around him were sometimes clear, and sometimes they were far away, and when he woke up again, he was facing the cold body of his mother lying at the head of the bed. <
yun qingci’s sky darkened in an instant, and for a long time after that, he became gloomy and indifferent, seeing that everyone was thin and cold.
in his opinion, there is no longer a credible person in this world, after all, even his biological father can easily abandon him, let alone others?
yun qingci heard li ying’s name again, the day after the funeral.
on that day, the eaves of the house were dripping with rain, and the small courtyard was cleaned, and only the white lanterns at the door and the yellow paper money that had not been swept away from the dead leaves heralded the end of a funeral.
grandma liu, who had been taking care of her mother, came to tell him: “your royal highness the crown prince has come to see you.” “not
seen.” the eight-year-old yun qingci was covered with a shawl, and his head was nestled on the noble concubine bed under the porch without lifting his head, and he ruthlessly issued an eviction order.
li ying came every day, yun qingci was missing every day, and so on for more than half a month, until one afternoon, yun qingci was squatting in the flower garden cultivated by his mother’s own hands, holding a small shovel to weed, and suddenly heard a movement coming from the wall.
he looked up vigilantly and saw a package thrown in, followed by his royal highness the crown prince, who was neatly dressed and climbed over the wall.
yun qingci’s face sank.
when li ying picked up the package and saw him, a look of surprise crossed his eyes.
yun qingci was even thinner than before, his face was pale, and he looked at people’s eyes like a little ghost crawling out of hell to ask for his life, full of yin compassion.
looking at each other, yun qing said fiercely, “who let you in?” <
“i want to come and see you.”
in fact, the father and emperor said that he had more time to accompany yun qingci, because now yun qingci had a poor relationship with his father and brother, and the teacher and the father were very worried about his state.
in addition, his mother, who was indifferent to him, actually unusually encouraged him to be close to yun qingci.
under the action of many parties, plus his own heart, li ying came.
yun qingci is not stupid, these days in addition to li ying, his brother and father have also come to him, li ying is with whom he is in the heart of the door.
he squeezed the small shovel and looked at li ying’s murderous eyes: “get out.”
li ying looked helpless and said, “this wall is too high, and it is a little difficult to get out.”
“then you climb out.”
“…… a word. li ying paused, opened the package, and said, “i brought you delicious chilled grapes, do you want to try it?” “i’m
not rare.” yun qingci said, “you go.”
“my royal highness the prince…”
“who’s afraid of you?”
after losing his mother, he realized that only he could protect himself, and if he couldn’t protect himself, he would die, and there would be nothing to live in the end.
li ying did not expect that in just one year, the well-behaved and squeamish little guy at that time would become what he is now, living like a hedgehog.
he stepped forward, and yun qingci immediately raised his shovel and warned, “if you get any closer, i’ll hit you.”
li ying stopped, peeled a grape, held out his hand to him, and said, “taste it.” the
shovel was tightly grasped by the thin white fingers, and the peeled grape flesh in front of him was purple and red, and there was a trace of cold in the clearness.
yun qingci resisted, “i don’t.”
“chilled.”
“not uncommon.”
“sweet.” li ying took another step forward, brought the flesh to his mouth, and coaxed: “really, very sweet.”
