Since seeing Geng Xue, Sui Yan's whole person has been confused, and he almost slammed his head into the incense burner when he was asking for a peace amulet. It was Duan Mingchong's hand that saved him from a bloody end.
On the way back, Duan Mingchong supported the pale-faced Sui Yan, afraid that he would not be able to stand still and roll down the mountain steps at all and did not dare to let go.
Sui Yan's face was pale, and he reluctantly smiled at Duan Ming Chong: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Duan Mingchong did not speak.
It took the two of them a moment to finally walk down the mountain, and Sui Yan did not scatter any more virtues, and the quietness made everyone uncomfortable.
The carriage was waiting by the side of the road.
Sui Yan paused in footsteps, then slowly turned his head and glanced at the long mountain road. He didn't know what to think, and his eyes were a little lost.
Duan Ming Chong said softly, "Let's go back."
Only then did Sui Yan nodded, and bent over to get into the carriage.
Along the way, Sui Yan closed his eyes and leaned against the wall of the car with a sullen look, wondering if he was taking a nap.
There was a small charcoal pot burning in the carriage, and the curtain did not dare to be closed too tightly. The cold wind came in through the slit and blew the hair in front of Sui Yan's forehead slightly.
Duan Mingchong was afraid that he would freeze again, so he stepped forward and gently squeezed his shoulders, letting him lean on his shoulders, wrapped his hands around his shoulders, and patted gently, as if coaxing a child.
Sui Yan didn't fall asleep at first, but he didn't want to open his eyes. He didn't move, let others play with him, leaned on Duan Mingchong's shoulder, smelled the aroma of green wood on his body, and thought to himself, "If he dies, I simply went together, anyway, the three brothers will end up fighting like the previous life, and they are disgusting and boring."
If there is any difference between the present and the previous life, it is Duan Mingchong in front of him.
If Duan Mingchong hadn't died, even if the other princes turned up the flowers, they wouldn't be able to shake his position as the 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 murmured, "Why is Your Highness so kind to me?"
Duan Mingchong didn't expect him to ask this, and looked at him in surprise.
Now that Sui Yan has spoken, there is no reason to rely on others. He sits up with his arms up and quietly looks at Duan Mingchong, wanting an answer.
Duan Mingchong thought for a while, then smiled: "Probably because of... envy."
Sui Yan didn't expect to get this answer either. He was stunned for a moment, and said blankly, "Envy? What do you envy me?"
Duan Mingchong thought for a while before saying: "I have been in the deep palace for many years and grew up under my father's knees. Since I was a child, I was taught to behave in a proper way and not lose my status as a prince, so I have been strict and self-disciplined for 14 years and dare not exceed half a point. . When I saw you for the first time…”
It's just that the five-year-old little prince sat upright in the East Palace, holding a scroll that could make people dizzy and carrying it obediently.
The little prince was probably a little annoyed. He put the book down, and was about to climb up the window lattice to look at it. Taifu, who had closed his eyes, kept his eyes open, and said, "His Royal Highness, calm down."
The little prince curled his lips, but did not dare to say more, so he sat back again and continued to listen to the cicada's voice reciting the extremely boring book.
Suddenly, a cry came from outside the window, startling the Taifu who closed his eyes.
The little prince was stunned for a moment, then blinked his eyes and looked out.
Facing a cherry tree outside his window, a child dressed in purple was climbing up the tree with his hands and feet, probably scratching his face by a branch. .
Tai Fu glanced at it, then immediately opened the door and walked out.
"Sui Yan! Come down quickly! What kind of attitude is this?!"
Duan Mingchong clawed at the window lattice, opened his eyes wide and looked out curiously.
When Xiao Suiyan heard Taifu's voice, she climbed faster, and soon climbed to the branch, her little hands clinging to the trunk and not letting go.
He smiled and said to the master under the tree: "Teacher, reading is too boring. I'll catch what I know to relieve my boredom. Please don't tell the royal uncle."
Taifu said angrily: "You come down! Where is this East Palace where you are savage?!"
Sui Yan said "Yeah": "This is the East Palace? I've never been here before."
While he was talking to Taifu, his subordinates didn't delay the matter, and quickly grabbed a cicada on the branch and put it in the small glass bottle in his sleeve - this action is too familiar, it looks like a frequent of.
Taifu: "Come down for me!"
Xiao Suiyan giggled, holding the tree trunk in his hand and even scratched it down. Taifu was about to reach out to grab him, but he suddenly jumped to the ground when he was about to land, and quickly ran into the grass because of his smallness. , disappeared directly.
During the dog days, Tai Fu was almost sweating profusely from his anger, and he angrily remarked on the "big man and little devil" and "the devil of the world" in front of the deserted grass, and it took a long time to come back.
Duan Mingchong was stunned. For the first time, he knew that someone could anger the Taifu who was with the old god like this.
Taifu was drinking water in the outer hall, and Duan Mingchong cautiously looked into the grass with the window lattice. Before he could see why, a figure suddenly appeared under the window lattice and said "Wow!" at him.
Duan Mingchong was taken aback and almost fell off the window lattice.
Seeing Sui Yan startled him, he giggled. He was already cute, like a porcelain doll carved from pink and jade, with curved eyes that looked tight.
Duan Mingchong was stunned.
Sui Yan also stood on tiptoe on the window lattice to face him, with a grass in his mouth, and asked curiously, "Are you His Royal Highness?"
Duan Mingchong had never spoken to a child of the same age, so he was stunned for a moment before he panicked: "Yes, yes."
"It looks dull." Sui Yan smiled and put the small glass bottle in his hand in front of Duan Mingchong and said, "Hey, let's play this for you."
Duan Mingchong looked curiously at Zhi Zhi in the bottle, stretched out his hand and poked it, and said, "This... how do you play?"
Sui Yan picked up the glass bottle and shook it, the cicada inside was so frightened that he suddenly screamed.
Sui Yan smiled and said, "Is it fun?"
Duan Mingchong: "Well..."
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 show the kindness of others, so he nodded and said, "Well, it's fun."
Sui Yan seemed to have finally found a fellow man, and shook the bottle again. The Jin Chan was making a lot of noise, which was very annoying.
The voice finally attracted the Taifu from the outer hall. He opened the bead curtain and saw Suiyan lying on the window lattice, and immediately said angrily, "Suiyan!"
Sui Yan shouted "Oops", and jumped down on his short legs. While escaping, he didn't forget to wave to Duan Mingchong: "I'm leaving, I'll play with you when I have time."
Duan Mingchong looked at him with wide eyes, and he also waved to him, saying, "Okay!"
Tai Fu angrily said: "Okay, what's good? No! That Sui Yan was not a good student, and he was joking all day and didn't want to make progress. Your Highness should not associate with such people."
Duan Mingchong suddenly felt a little dejected, and secretly stuffed the small glass bottle on the window lattice into his sleeve, and said ok.
That was the first time Duan Ming Chong knew that someone could live so recklessly, that he was in a trance like a blazing fire, and the shaking person couldn't open his eyes.
Since then, Duan Mingchong has been thinking about when Sui Yan can play with him, but the little bastard is too playful, but he forgot about it for a few days and went to find new fun.
When Duan Mingchong saw him again, Sui Yan became Duan Zhisu's companion, Chengri and Song Xian stuck together, and didn't even look at him.
Duan Mingchong thought a little sadly: "He forgot me, he said he wanted to play with me..."
However, the little prince has been very understanding since that time, but after a period of sadness, he opened himself up.
"I'm too boring." The little prince thought to himself, "I can't find any fun playing with me. He's so fun, and it's better to be with other people."
Since then, the biggest meeting between the two was to meet in the morning class of the Taifu. After a long time, Duan Mingchong no longer cares, but sometimes he still thinks of that arrogant child lying on the window lattice. Up at him smiling.
Until one time when he was out of the palace to do business, a group of people gathered around the bridge and pointed at the river bank below. He glanced inadvertently and saw that Sui Yan was covered in water, standing hurriedly on the river bank. He growled something.
Duan Mingchong was stunned for a moment, then ran over quickly.
It's just that he hadn't arrived yet, but the young man seemed to be stunned, pushed the people around him away, and jumped into the icy river.
Duan Mingchong was taken aback and wanted to go underground to save people.
Thinking of this, Duan Mingchong seemed to smile a little embarrassedly, and said, "I am a very boring person, and I am a completely different person from you, so... I envy you for being arrogant and arrogant, perhaps it is human nature. "
Sui Yan was choked: "I..."
Suiyan had no memory of seeing Duan Mingchong when he was a child. Seeing Duan Mingchong's words so seriously, he felt a little ashamed and guilt for a while, and said embarrassingly: "I... I didn't understand anything when I was young, and I really offended Your Highness. sorry."
Duan Mingchong said seriously: "It's not an offense, I was... very happy."
Suiyan looked at him in amazement, only then did he realize that Duan Mingchong no longer called himself "orphan" to him.
Sui Yan said: "Your Highness..."
Duan Mingchong said: "I saw you in a daze by the river a few days ago, and you had the idea of committing suicide. Since then, I have been wondering if you are not doing well, or if you have any difficulties..."
Only then did Suiyan understand why Duan Mingchong would run to the Marquis of Suian'an mansion from time to time after that, and he always sent things to make him happy.
Duan Mingchong looked at him seriously: "If there is really any difficulty, you can ask someone to come to me, I will tell the truth, no matter what, as long as it is within my power, I will definitely help you."
Sui Yan looked at him blankly, and for some reason he suddenly felt a little sour in his nose, he said in a daze, "Then Your Highness... Will you believe me?"
Duan Ming Chong said: "Naturally believe it."
In the same way, Duan Mingchong said it so softly, but it gave Sui Yan a feeling of a promise, and he himself knew that people like Duan Mingchong would definitely do it after he said it.
Sui Yan suddenly laughed, with some light in his eyes, and said dumbly, "Okay."
