old friend wine

Shen Che waited for Shen Ci to come out at the entrance. He thought that Shen Ci would have a lot to say to Yu Shi, so he jumped to a stone man half a person tall and sat there waiting. As a result, Shen Ci came out as soon as he sat down. .

The palace has not changed much in the past three years, at most some pavilions have been renovated.Shen Ci lived in the palace for seven years, and he could find his way with his eyes closed, but Shen Che insisted on going to the West Courtyard with him.Along the way, his elder brother was occupied by the prince, so he rarely had time to spend with his elder brother who was thinking about it day and night.

The West Courtyard located in the westernmost corner of the palace is indeed dilapidated. The abandoned yard is covered with weeds half a person's height, and most of the south courtyard wall has collapsed. There are more or less cracks on the roofs and walls of the three old houses. Weeds grew tenaciously from the cracks, writhing with teeth and claws in the night wind.

The weather is fine, with the moon and the stars, and the clear brilliance is shining on the earth, and everything is covered with a faint soft halo.Shen Ci stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands folded and said, "Hey, it's pretty good." Shen Che looked sideways at him, and the expression of satisfaction on his face did not seem to be fake.

Shen Ci brushed aside the weeds and walked around the yard, and found something in a corner.He bent down to pick up a small hoe, weighed it skillfully in his hand, and shouted as if picking up money, "Is there such a good thing?"

Shen Che explained, "The west courtyard was originally going to be renovated, because the damage was too severe and it was pushed to the end. You came here before it was repaired. This hoe was probably left here for a few days. But... If you live here, there will be no one to clean it up."

"It's easy to say." Shen Ci responded casually, pointed at the house on the east side with a hoe, "Shen Che, clean this room for me, I live here."

The houses on the east side are the most dilapidated, with the most cracks.Shen Che asked suspiciously, "Why? The one to the north is better."

"No. The foundation and walls of this room are solid, and it won't be a problem for another three to five years, but the two rooms are really about to collapse." Shen Ci rubbed his chin and said, "It looks a bit broken, repair it. It's no trouble getting up."

Shen Che had already cleaned the north room, but upon hearing this, he took out the bedding and clothes and moved them to the east room. Then he climbed up and down and swung the broom to clean the cobwebs on the roof, and fetched water from the basin to wipe the dust off the table and bed. Very busy.

Shen Ci rolled up his sleeves and squatted on the ground wielding a small hoe to mow the grass. Martial arts practitioners are far more powerful than ordinary people, and he is also used to farm work. The weeds in the yard were quickly brought down piece by piece. Shen Ci finished cleaning When the house was built, he had already missed a small piece of hoeing.

Shen Ci raised his arm and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked Shen Che, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired."

"Then do me a favor, take the weeds out and throw them outside, otherwise I'll have to come back to life after the rain in the past two days."

"Would it still be like this?" This was the first time Shen Che had heard of it.

Shen Ci held a handful of weeds and said with emotion, "Hey, this weed is just like me."

"The same wild fire can't burn out, can it be born again when the spring breeze blows?" Shen Che's eyes flickered with emotion.

"No, I'm saying that I'm a _reckless person like me, and I have to come to places I shouldn't be, so I don't need to clean up!" Shen Ci ferociously hoeed a few weeds.

Shen Che: "..."

"Have you eaten tonight?" Shen Ci straightened up and asked after cleaning up the weeds.

"Uh...not yet, are you hungry?" Shen Che has been running around to make arrangements for Shen Ci's arrangement, without taking time to eat.

"The curfew in the palace is still unchanged, right?" Shen Ci patted the soil on his hands and looked up at the sky, "I'm going to buy food in time, do you have anything you want?"

"Just bring me a copy of what you eat." Shen Che said, "Do you have any money with you?"

"Of course, I still have the leftover money from buying pastries last time." Shen Ci took out the abnormally bulging purse from his arms, threw it up and caught it again, "I'll wait until my brother buys you some delicious food." .”

"Okay." Shen Che looked at Shen Ci's tall and tall back, lowered his head and smiled again and again.Since he was a child, his elder brother was his sky, no matter the storm or the wind, as long as he had an elder brother, he would not be afraid of anything, and his elder brother would not let him get hurt in the slightest.

Shen Ci's trip was not in vain. In addition to buying wine and food, he also brought back a sack of tiles, nails, hammers and trowels, preparing to repair the house at dawn the next day.He threw the sack in the corner, hooked the wine jar over his shoulders on his fingers and strode into the room. No one came before he heard, "It's nice to be rich. It's hard to find such a stupid and rich prince with a lantern. I don't know." Are you asking for money back?"

When he looked up, Xu Qinghan was sitting on a chair looking at him unkindly, while Shen Che stood aside and coughed a few times in embarrassment.Shen Ci said without changing his face, "It's so late, the prince hasn't rested yet?"

Xu Qinghan knocked on the table indifferently, "Return the money bag to me."

Shen Ci put the two roasted chickens and daughter red he bought on the table, reluctantly took out the money bag and held it in his hand, and said in his mouth, "I know I'm wrong, the prince is handsome and kind, and I have the heart to let you Am I poor and starving?"

Xu Qinghan felt sad when he heard that, he pursed his lips and said nothing.

Shen Ci courteously tore off a delicious chicken leg and handed it to Xu Qinghan's mouth, "My lord calm down."

Xu Qing coldly snorted and took the chicken leg, without mentioning the money bag.He wasn't hungry after dinner, but he never had the habit of refusing Shen Ci.

Shen Ci tore off the other chicken leg and handed it to Shen Che. Shen Che was a little touched, a chicken only has two legs, and my brother would rather not eat it himself and share it with him.As a result, he hadn't finished being moved when he saw Shen Ci eating the two legs of another chicken like a storm.

"..." Shen Che gnawed his leg silently, as expected, he still thought too much.

Xu Qinghan glanced around the shabby house, "Are you really planning to live in this shabby place? Do you want to change your place?"

"Where else do I live, do I live with you?" Shen Ci spat out his bones and choked, "Then you, me, princess, let's stay three nights and fly three times, Lang Lang's concubine loves you, me, her, you , the prince, concubine and guards will live a happy life together from now on?"

"Did you owe a beating?" Xu Qinghan slapped the table angrily.

"A gentleman uses his mouth but doesn't move his hands. Why are you so rude, shouting and killing all day long?" Shen Ci was not afraid at all, Xu Qinghan would slap the table sternly if he didn't say anything.

"I'm going to the palace tomorrow morning to see Brother Huang and return the soul-suppressing lock, will you go with me?" Xu Qinghan asked Shen Ci.

"What am I going to do?"

"I want to take you to meet the emperor, but the emperor hasn't seen you yet."

Shen Ci chuckled, "Don't, His Majesty must strangle me to death. He won't give us a marriage. I don't see what it means."

Xu Qinghan was a little bit disappointed, he and Shen Ci would never see each other.Shen Ci didn't seem to care about it at all, and he was still gnawing on the chicken wings heartlessly, "Did you steal the soul-suppressing lock? It's impossible for your majesty to lend it to you for no reason."

Xu Qinghan quibbled, "How can it be called stealing, this is called..." He thought for a while, and said righteously, "This is called taking without telling."

"It's simply too presumptuous, His Majesty should make you a flower in the capital." Shen Ci said with his tongue.

"Stop wishful thinking." Xu Qinghan said contemptuously.

Shen Ci ate up a roast chicken, sucked his greasy index finger and said, "You guys withdraw, I'm going to sleep."

"My lord, this subordinate will leave." Shen Che politely nodded to Xu Qinghan on one knee first, and then resigned to Shen, "Brother, I'm going back first."

Shen Che left, but Xu Qinghan sat firmly like a mountain and had no intention of moving.Shen Ci raised his eyebrows to look at him, Xu Qinghan said, "I'm not leaving, I want to sleep with you."

Shen Ci was a little embarrassed to look at the small bed and a quilt that was only big enough for a single person to sleep in. Before he could speak, Xu Qinghan rushed forward and hugged his neck, and said in a soft voice, "I'm going to sleep with Ah Ci , I miss Ah Ci very much."

…………

Shen Ci's room shared the bed with the prince, while the princess's room had to stay alone in the empty room, sitting withered and watching the red candles burn little by little, shedding bloody candle tears.The delicate makeup and enchanting dress that she had painted in the mirror for a long time looked like a joke at this moment. Once Shen Ci's disgusting broken sleeve came back, Xu Qinghan would not even look at her.

How could she be inferior to that humble guard?She is nobler than him, she is more tender than him, she is more beautiful than him, why isn't she better than him?Why, why on earth does the prince like that useless bitch?Wei Bingqing shouted hysterically in his heart, tightly biting his lower lip that had been dyed with pomegranate rouge, his beautiful face was filled with resentment that he never showed to others, and he spat out two words from between his white teeth with extreme hatred, " Shen, resign!"

On the other side, the clouds and rain are gone.

Anyway, the weather was hot, so Shen Ci simply spread out the quilt on the ground, and gently put Xu Qinghan, who was so tired that his bones were weak, on it.He lay on Xu Qinghan's side, wrapped his fingers around a strand of Xu Qinghan's black hair and coaxed slowly, "Don't sleep yet, I'll fetch water to wipe your body."

Xu Qinghan replied lazily, and Shen Ci hurriedly put on his clothes and went to fetch water in the yard. Even though he moved very quickly, Xu Qinghan fell asleep when he came back exhausted.Shen Ci didn't find a clean towel, so he replaced it with the corner of the bed sheet he had just brought back with water.He was afraid that Xu Qinghan would feel uncomfortable with cold water, so he warmed the sheet in his hands before carefully wiping it.

Xu Qinghan's body is like a piece of pure white and flawless jade, so smooth that not even a trace of scar can be found. This prince has lived so long that he has not even suffered from the pain of flesh and blood, which is enough to show how delicate he is.

Shen Ci wiped off all the places that should be wiped, picked up Xu Qinghan's cloud brocade coat, shook it off and covered him, then folded the clothes and lay next to Xu Qinghan, looked at Xu Qinghan who was sleeping in a ball with his head tilted, couldn't help scratching with his fingers. Scrape the tip of his nose.

This night he was Shen Ci, and he was Xu Qinghan.When the east dawns on the second day, he will be a bodyguard desperately trying to survive, and he will also turn back into a prince who is admired by tens of thousands of people, and the clouds and dust are separated by thousands of feet.

------

As soon as Xu Qinghan left, a dozen or so guards rushed in from the west courtyard led by Wei Jun.Shen Ci squatted by the well and was washing his face. Before he could wipe off the water all over his face, someone twisted his arms and bound his hands behind his back, kicked his knees and pressed his knees on the ground.

"???" Shen Ci was dumbfounded, he tried to grab the rope, and the rough hemp rope made his wrist hurt.

Wei Jun pulled out the purse from Shen Ci's arms, held it in his hand and scolded Shen Ci condescendingly, "What a bold slave! You put your hand into the palace, and dare to steal it from the prince, don't you want to die?!"

Shen Ci asked incredulously, "Which eye of yours saw me stealing something, did you dream about it?"

"This purse was embroidered to the prince by the empress herself. The prince cherishes it very much and never leaves it. Do you still want to argue?"

Shen Ci thought it was funny, at the beginning Xu Qinghan let him touch it casually, and even forgot to ask him to return it, Wei Jun also had the nerve to say that the prince cherished it very much?
