Stigma (Yi Cong Yin)

Chapter 23: Encounter [Start with v]

Ever since he saw Gengxue, Sui Yan’s whole person was in a daze. He almost slammed his head on the incense burner when he asked for a safe talisman, but Duan Mingchong put his hand on it to avoid his bloodshed end.

On the way back, Duan Ming Chong supported the pale Sui Yan, fearing that he would be unstable and just roll down the mountain steps. He didn’t dare to let go.

Sui Yan’s face was pale, and he smiled reluctantly towards Duan Ming Chong, “Much, thank you, Your Highness.”

Duan Mingchong did not speak.

It took a while for the two of them to finally walk down the mountain. Sui Yan didn’t break his morals anymore, quietly making everyone uncomfortable.

The carriage was waiting on the side of the road.

Sui Yan paused, and slowly turned his head and glanced at the long mountain road. He didn’t know what he thought of, and his eyes were a little lost.

Duan Ming Chongrou said: “Let’s go back.”

Only then did Sui Yan nod his head and stooped into the carriage.

Along the way, Sui Yandu closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car with a sorrowful look. He didn’t know if he was taking a nap. When he came, he jumped off so happily. At the first moment, he calmed down, and Duan Mingchong was a little uncomfortable.

A small charcoal basin was burning in the carriage, and the curtains were not too tight. The cold wind rushed in from the crevices, blowing the hair on Sui Yan’s forehead slightly.

Duan Mingchong was afraid that he would be frozen again, stepped forward and gently shook his shoulders, let him lean on his shoulders, wrapped his hands around his shoulders, and patted gently, as if he was coaxing a child.

Sui Yan didn’t fall asleep, but he didn’t want to open his eyes. He was motionless and allowed to be manipulated, leaning on Duan Mingchong’s shoulder, sniffing the fragrance of the green wood on his body, thinking without any margin: “If he is dead, I just went together, anyway, the three brothers will fight endlessly as they did in the previous life, disgusting and boring.”

If it is said that the present is different from the previous life, it is Duan Mingchong in front of him.

If Duan Mingchong is not dead, even if the other princes turn out the flowers, they will not be able to shake his position as the crown prince.

Sui Yan thought wildly, and suddenly said: “His Royal Highness…”

Duan Mingchong tilted his head slightly and said softly: “Huh? Are you awake?”

Sui Yan didn’t want to move, and muttered: “Why is your Highness so good to me?”

Duan Mingchong didn’t expect that he would ask this, and gave him a surprised look.

Since Sui Yan had already spoken, he had no reason to rest on his body. He sat up with his hands on his hands, looked at Duan Mingchong quietly, and wanted an answer.

Duan Mingchong thought for a while, smiled and said, “Probably because of… envy.”

Sui Yan didn’t expect to get this answer either. He was stunned for a moment and said in a daze, “Envy? What do you envy me?”

Duan Mingchong thought for a while and said: “I spent many years in the deep palace and grew up under the knees of my father. Since I was a child, I have been taught to behave in accordance with the rules and not to lose my status as a prince. Therefore, I have been rigorous and self-disciplined for 14 years and dare not exceed half of the mark. . When I first saw you…”

It’s just that the five-year-old prince sits in the East Palace, carrying a dizzy scroll, and the cicadas outside the window have been noisy and noisy.

The little prince was probably a little annoyed. Putting down the book, he was about to climb up the window lattice to look at it. The Taifu, who closed his eyes, didn’t open his eyes and said: “His Royal Highness, peace of mind.”

The little prince curled his lips, but did not dare to say anything, so he sat back and continued to listen to the cicada’s recitation of the boring book.

Suddenly, a cry came from outside the window, startling the master who closed his eyes.

The little prince was taken aback, blinked and looked out.

Facing a cherry tree outside his window, a child in a purple shirt was climbing up the tree with his hands and feet on the ground. He was probably scratched by the branches. He laughed and screamed, so lively. .

Tai Fu took a look, then opened the door and walked out with a beard and stare at him.

“Sui Yan! Come down to me quickly! What style is this posture?!”

Duan Mingchong grabbed the window lattice and looked out curiously with his eyes wide open.

When Xiao Sui Yan heard the voice of the master, he climbed faster, and soon climbed to the branch, holding the tree trunk tightly with his little hands and not letting go.

He smiled and said to the Taifu under the tree: “Taifu, reading is too boring, I can just catch it to relieve the boredom, please don’t tell the uncle Emperor.”

Taifu said angrily: “You come down to me! Where is the place where you run wild in this East Palace?!”

Sui Yan said, “This is the East Palace? I have never been here yet.”

While he was talking to the Tai Fu, his subordinates did not delay things, quickly grabbed a cicada on the branch and placed it in the small glass bottle in the sleeve-this action is really too familiar, and at first glance it seems to be a regular practice. of.

Tai Fu: “You come down to me!”

Xiao Sui Yan chuckled, holding the tree trunk in his hand and struck down directly. Tai Fu was about to reach out to catch him, but when he was about to land on the ground, he suddenly jumped to the ground. In, just disappeared.

In the dog days, the Tai Fu was almost sweating profusely with anger, and angrily screamed at the deserted grass that there were “people, little ghosts, big” and “devil kings”, and he returned for a long time.

Duan Mingchong looked stunned, and knew for the first time that someone could make the old god-existing Taifu into this way.

The Tai Fu drank water in the outer hall, and Duan Mingchong cautiously grabbed the window lattice and looked into the bushes. He didn’t see why, a figure suddenly sprang out from under the window lattice, and said “Wow!” at him.

Duan Mingchong was taken aback and almost fell off the window lattice.

Seeing that Sui Yan frightened him, he giggled. He was already cute, like a porcelain doll carved out of pink jade, with curving eyes and tight-looking eyes.

Duan Mingchong took a look and was dumbfounded.

Sui Yan also tiptoeed on the window lattice to face him face to face, with a root of grass in his mouth, and curiously said: “Are you the Royal Highness?”

Duan Mingchong has never spoken to a child of the same age, and he froze for a moment before he panicked and said, “Yes, yes.”

“Looks dumb.” Sui Yan smiled and placed the small glass bottle in his hand in front of Duan Mingchong, and said, “Hey, let’s play this for you.”

Duan Mingchong looked at the Zhile in the bottle curiously, poked his hand and said, “This…how to play?”

Sui Yan picked up the glass bottle and shook it. The cicada inside was so frightened that he screamed.

Sui Yan smiled and said, “Isn’t it fun?”

Duan Mingchong: “Um…”

I can’t see where it’s fun, but it’s quite noisy.

But at this time, Duan Mingchong was talking to others for the first time. He couldn’t bear to touch others’ kindness, so he nodded and said, “Hmm, it’s fun.”

Sui Yan seemed to have finally found a fellow in the same way, and shook the bottle again. The Jin Chan was noisy and annoying.

The voice finally attracted the Tai Fu of the outer hall. He lifted the bead curtain and saw Sui Yan lying on the window lattice, and immediately said angrily: “Sui Yan!”

Sui Yan yelled “It’s awful”, and quickly jumped down on his short legs, and he didn’t forget to wave to Duan Mingchong while running away: “I’m leaving, I’ll see you when I have time.”

Duan Mingchong looked at him with wide eyes, and beckoned to him too busy, saying, “Okay!”

Tai Fu angrily said: “Okay, what’s so good? No! That year Yan was not a good student, he was not enterprising, and his Highness rarely interacted with such people.”

Duan Mingchong suddenly fell a little dejected, and secretly stuffed the small glass bottle on the window lattice into his sleeve, and said he was okay.

It was the first time that Duan Mingchong knew that someone could live so wanton, stupefied like a fire, and the dangling person couldn’t open his eyes.

Since then, Duan Mingchong has been thinking about when Sui Yan can play with him, but that little **** is too interested in playing, but in a few days he has forgotten about the matter and went to have new fun.

When Duan Mingchong saw him again, Sui Yan became Duan Zhisu’s companion. Chengri and Song Xian were stuck together, and they didn’t even look at him.

Duan Mingchong thought sadly: “He forgot about me, he said he wanted to play with me…”

However, the little prince has been very considerate since that time, but he was depressed for a while before he solved himself.

“I’m too boring.” The little prince thought to himself, “I can’t find any fun to play with me. He is so fun, and it is better to be with other people.”

Since then, the biggest intersection between the two was the meeting in Taifu’s morning class. After a long time, Duan Mingchong no longer cares, but sometimes he still thinks of the arrogant child lying on the window lattice. The way he smiled at him.

Until one trip to the palace, a group of people gathered around the bridge and pointed towards the bank of the river below. He inadvertently glanced at Sui Yan and saw that Sui Yan was covered with water, standing arrogantly on the bank of the river, and Song Xian on the side seemed to be facing He yelled at something.

Duan Ming Chong was stunned for a moment, and ran over quickly.

It’s just that he hadn’t arrived yet, the young man seemed to be stunned, pushed away the people around him, and jumped into the cold river.

Duan Mingchong was taken aback, and went down to save people before he even thought about it.

Thinking of this, Duan Mingchong seemed to smile a little embarrassedly, and said, “I am a very boring person. I am a completely different person from you, so…I envy you for being arrogant and arrogant. Maybe it’s human nature. ”

Sui Yan was choked: “I…”

Sui Yan has no memory of seeing Duan Mingchong when he was a child. Seeing what Duan Mingchong said so seriously, he felt a little ashamed and guilty for a while, and said: “I… I didn’t understand anything when I was a child. It’s really an offense to your Highness. sorry.”

Duan Mingchong said seriously: “This is not an offense, I was… very happy at the time.”

Sui Yan looked at him in amazement, only then did he realize that Duan Mingchong did not call him ‘solitary” anymore.

Years old Yanner said: “His Royal Highness…”

Duan Mingchong said: “I saw you in a trance by the river a few days ago, and even thought of suicide. Since then, I have been wondering if you are actually not doing well, or if you have any difficulties…”

Only then did Sui Yan understand why Duan Mingchong would run to Sui’anhou’s Mansion from time to time since then and always send things to make him happy.

Duan Mingchong looked at him earnestly: “If you really have any difficulties, you can ask someone to find me. I can talk and count, no matter what, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you.”

Sui Yan stared at him blankly. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little sore in his nose. He said unequivocally, “His Royal Highness…will you believe me?”

Duan Ming Chong said: “Naturally believe.”

In the same way, Duan Mingchong said so softly, but it gave Sui Yan a sense of promise, and he himself knew that since someone like Duan Mingchong said, he will definitely do it later.

Sui Yan suddenly smiled, with some waves in his eyes, and said dumbly: “Okay.”

The author has something to say: Little Prince: If you say yes, you want to play with me… QAQ!
