Eastward Flow

Fanwai: Dust and Smoke

“Smoke … smoke …”

The girl lying in the quilt opened her eyes vaguely, and saw the almost identical face covering herself above her, sitting on her forehead, and said with anger: “Dust … what time is it?”

“I’m right.” Zhong Lichen responded, looking at the girl who couldn’t open her eyes, and coaxed softly, “Last night you and I reviewed the choir together, unfortunately you made me feel cold. I have ordered someone to come over to the doctor, for a while Give you the pulse. Today you will have a good rest in the palace. I went to the Qianyuan Hall to discuss the matter. Remember it, don’t get confused. “

“But …” Zhong Liyan struggled a few times, and looked at the twin sisters who had put on the prince’s suit by Chen Guang, frowning.

Before waiting for her to say anything, Zhong Lichen stretched out his fingers and scratched the tip of her nose, half coaxing: “Today you are my eldest princess, obedient, obedient.”

She said, coaxed her sister to lie down, and then got up and walked outside the hall.

Zhong Li Yan, who closed her eyes again, listened to her sister’s footsteps gradually distant, her lips smiled, and she fell asleep again.

In the Qianyuan Hall, the ministers, led by Yang Li and Li, fought fiercely over political affairs. Prince Lizhong Chen sat on the throne in the temple, watching the noise below him, completely treating himself as invisible ministers.

I did n’t know what was noisy. In the end, the chief secretary interrupted their argument. He said, “Your Majesty has ordered the Crown Prince to supervise the country. “

Her voice fell, and everyone in the hall looked at Zhong Lichen on the hall.

The servant of the Yang family raised the jade cymbals and said generously: “His Royal Highness, rebuilding the canal and diverting it into the West Sea is beneficial to the country. The city along the coast of Wanzhou Zhongzhou suffers from floods every summer. Then people can live on both sides of the strait, and strengthen me! “

The servants of the Li family countered: “It takes a lot of money to rebuild the canal. Now that the state treasury is empty, the northern borders are staring at it. The military funds allocated to Lanzhou alone are not enough. When the canal is rebuilt, the adults will kill me Official? “

With that said, the chapel that had just been quiet for a while became loud again.

Zhong Lichen looked at the heads of the two factions who were silent among the hundred officials, his mouth slightly hooked, his expression mocked slightly.

Since the flood in the summer flooded Wanzhou again, the two factions have been in dispute. First, they pulled each other for the disaster relief, folded the opponent’s assassination history and the generals, and then swallowed the disaster relief’s silver two. For the follow-up official duties, you were killed. It was all noisy in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the idea of ​​the treasury came.

It ’s been eighteen years since the ascension of the throne, obsessed with cultivation, and does not serve state affairs. Although Taiyiguan is under the guise of practicing for the goddess, it can be hindered by the existence of Jiantian Si and believers, but he does not dare to injure the people and hurt the wealth and civil engineering.

But this group of people in Chaotang is not the same. Today, after repairing rivers, paving the road tomorrow, they will go north to fight. After more than ten years, I don’t know how many silver coins were cheated from the treasury.

A well-off affluent court was hollowed out.

For example, this canal was built four years ago by the Privy Council, but it was less than five years old. The river dam was still broken, Wanzhou was flooded, and the Ministry of Households had to pay for it again.

These people in the temple now think that the prince, who has just been sealed for less than a year and is only fifteen years old, is just as confused as her dazed father. It was another mouth and he lied about money.

Although Zhong Lichen was young, he and all the children of the emperor spent the first fifteen years in Taiyiguan burning incense and chanting chanting, but he was not a fool. From being registered as a prince, with the younger sister bearing the prince’s shell, relying on the concubine of the celestial division and the assistant of the grandfather’s order, she clarified the old things of Chen Semen Rottenia that happened after her father’s ascension, right The doorway towards the chapel is also quite clear.

She and Zhong Liyan had just been sealed off, and no one was available underneath. Even if they knew the ministers’ intentions, they had to pretend to be stupid, and should drag and drag to make Yang and Li’s parties tear up.

As usual on the clock, the two parties broke up in the end.

Zhong Lichen followed the order of the grandfather and the princes, and had no time to eat lunch, and hurried back to the East Palace.

As soon as she stepped into the temple, the waitress stood up and took off her robes and hung them aside. Zhong Lichen frowns as he sorts his clothes and asks, “Are the people from the hospital over here? What do you think of the princess?”

The maid responded, “I said I felt the cold and had already taken the medicine. After eating in the morning, the servant waited for the princess to drink the medicine, and the princess fell asleep again.”

Zhong Lichen nodded and replied, “Prepare your meals in the study.”

“No.” The servant girl responded, and Zhong Lichen detoured to the side palace of the East Palace. When he came to the couch and saw the sleeping face, he settled down and turned to the study.

Not long after lunch, the maid came to inform the princess that she was awake. Zhong Lichen heard the words, hurried to the bed, and at a glance saw Zhong Liyan, who was leaning on the bedside.

She was wearing a snow-white blouse, and her face, which was too soft, was even more pitiful due to the cold. Zhong Lichen saw the maid waiting beside her wringing up the Jinpa and wiping her face. So he walked to the maid and said, “All of you go down to prepare meals, here I come.”

The maids promised, got up and walked out of the hall, and the remaining prince and princess sisters were alone.

Dust sat next to the bed, wringed the Jinpa again, and covered her sister’s pale and tender face, and said warmly, “Did you feel better after taking the medicine this morning?”

The smoke nodded, opened his eyes when the warmth on his face left, and set his eyes on Zhong Lichen’s face, and asked, “What about dust? Will the North Korean Association be fine today?”

“As always, the two wolves bite so badly that they left me clean.” Dust said this, lowered Jinpa, wiped her hands, reached out to the forehead of the smoke, and frowned, “Jin When I got up early, it was hot to touch, but now it’s normal. If you take a good rest, don’t think about the mess in the hall. “

“Since I became the Prince of Lao Shizi, life has been much harder than when I was watching.” Chen said so, looking at his sister’s apparently thin face, full of distress.

Yan smiled, and said softly: “Where is dust said so hard. The East Palace is far better than the concept, there are many servants, Jinyiyushi, and the masters also wholeheartedly taught how to say …”

Before she could finish speaking, Chen interrupted: “It ’s still not as good as what you see. Wear a robe to eat vegetarian meals, burn incense every day, and then wait to be crowned, either to seal the king or build a princess house. Where is it now? In this way, you must not be free in the quagmire. “

Yan Yan pursed her lips and looked at the dust that was sharper than her, and smiled: “Big Brother’s most wanted thing, but you are like a quagmire. If he is still watching, he must be angry with you.”

The elder brother in the cigarette holder was the eldest prince who was registered as the king of Zhongzhou after selecting the prince at the beginning of the festival.

All children of the Emperor Emperor, after the age of three, will be held to Taiyiguan Taoist Temple. These children were unloved when they were young, but they got along well. But as he got older, he heard more rumors, and there was a gap.

Dust was a clever kid from a young age. A certain sacrificing emperor praised the cigarette a few words, and he was hated by the great prince who longed for his father’s care. When the teacher in Guanguan preached for the princes, the big prince either broke the pen and paper of the cigarette, or bullied her with the hair dragging the cigarette, without the appearance of an older brother.

But he was so frustrated with cigarettes that he couldn’t help it. He would be beaten back by dust every time. The most serious one was that the cigarette broke his feet with paperweight, and it hit his indifferent father in front of the world. The black room copied the Taoist scriptures for a month.

If the big prince can’t win the fight, he will harm the young man who has a lower status than him.

After a certain lesson, Chen found that the eldest prince let a young boy who was not five years old kneel on the ground and was hungry. When he couldn’t watch it, he was instructed to put a **** on the boy. Later, I saw that the big prince always punished the boy with corporal punishment and asked why he knew that it was because the big prince was in a bad mood.

This little boy was named 荏苒, and was later hit by the boss, and now he is the boss of Jiantian.

The great prince felt that the dust had taken away his face, and the more he saw the dust, the deeper the beam became.

Later, as the year grew older, the eldest prince also reached the age when he could discuss politics. The emperor had no reserve and no palace. The eldest prince ran to the reserve. He was busy arguing with the second prince on the court, and his grievances with the dust were getting younger.

He waited for two years, from fifteen to seventeen, the emperor finally established a prince. But the prince was not him, but Zhong Lichen, who was asked by Dongtian Si to Donghuang.

In this way, the grievances of those young people turned up again.

Now that Yan mentioned this matter, Chen could not help but think of the day that surprised her, and the expression of the elder brother being ashamed and angry.

Chen bended her lips and said, “It’s the only thing you can be happy to be a prince if you can get angry at the big fool.”

She always felt that the approval of Jian Tian Si pushed her and her sister from a clearly visible path to the dark abyss.

The emperor prayed that the night the next Crown Prince designated by Heaven would be captive, the young man who asked them to be accompanied by the incense, appeared with them in a respectable grandfather.

They pointed at the smoke and said firmly that she would be dust in the future.

Yan fiercely refuted and opposed, but in exchange for the cold eyes of the man called his father.

“Dust, as long as you exchange identities with your sister, your sister is the most honorable prince of Dachu, the future master of this country. And you are my elder princess of Dachu, enjoying endless glory, understand?”

Understand, of course, Chen saw something from the man’s eyes. If she doesn’t agree, she will die. And Yan will replace her identity and become the next king.

The smoke also understood that, from that day on, they lived a life of mutual exchange.

It’s actually not right to exchange identities, because Chen doesn’t want to be a prince or a princess.

She just wanted to be an adult early and leave Taiyiguan, whether it was to become a king or a princess, and step out of Yuanzhou with cigarettes, to see this world of freedom.

But the smoke was different. She became a prince and wanted to be a good prince.

What did the smoke say on the day of the exchange?

She said, “I don’t want to be like the Father, the flood is all over the sky, but the cigarette is small in my view. The heart is toward the kingdom of God, but it is **** on earth.”

Her sister has a lofty and great ideal. So Chen decided to let go of her small wishes and stay with her in the palace wall that trapped them all their lives.

Chen reached out and gently scraped the bridge of his sister’s nose, and smiled, “Okay, my good princess, drink medicine after a meal. Get better soon. Otherwise, I will go for you again The quagmire. “

Yan looked down and responded nicely with a “OK.” 2k novel reading network
