Worry-free palm

After Shen Anran was taken away, the bustard still waited respectfully outside the arch, standing still against the scorching sun, lowering her eyes, not daring to spy on everything in the backyard.

After half a cup of tea, the old man with white beard and hair came out in a hurry, the old bustard was startled, never expecting that the butler would personally come out to deliver a message and rushed to salute him.

The old man didn't stick to these formalities, he waved his hand at her, and conveyed the meaning of the man in fine clothes to her.Knowing that this is a very distinguished guest, the old bustard immediately complied with the order, turned around and went to look for the young master.

At the same time, a few servants came to Shen Anran's room, and neatly arranged three dishes and one soup on the table, plus tea and snacks after the meal. The rice is like nothing else.

The food was just out of the pot, steaming hot, exuding a tempting aroma, but how could Shen Anran dare to eat it, as soon as she saw this gorgeous dish, she immediately thought of the rice with severed head.Unexpectedly, the master in the backyard is still a polite master, willing to let him be a full ghost.

When the madam knocked on the door for the first time, Shen Anran was drooling at the delicious food on the table, when he knocked the second time, he began to sigh, and when the bustard knocked the door for the third time, he was between the starving ghost and the stuffed ghost Fighting fiercely.

The old bustard was so patient, she coaxed outside the door, "Young master, don't be nervous, the servant is here to convey the master's order." After hearing the answer, she cautiously opened the door.

Surprised by the sudden change in her attitude, Shen Anran understood the deep meaning with a turn of her eyes, "It seems that the master in the yard knows me?"

The procuress blessed Fushen respectfully, and said with a smile, "Young master, please have your meal first, and then I will take you to your room."

Shen Anran stood up a little uneasy, "What do you mean? Still won't let me go?"

"Young master misunderstood, sit down quickly, the master said, you are a distinguished guest, it is rare to see you again, and you should be warmly entertained." Seeing that he still refused to move his chopsticks, the old bust understood, and took the initiative to hold up the silver chopsticks for He tried the dishes, "It's time to wait for this matter, it will only take about three or four days, and we will send you back."

For three or four days, Shen Anran thought about it, Master would definitely not be able to come back, so that's fine, he didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but he saved a lot of money for Master.He originally wanted to ask if he could bring him the luggage from the inn, but then he thought, if he couldn't go back after three or four days, it wouldn't make the master misunderstand that he left first, so he didn't mention it.

All the dishes have been tried, even the tea and snacks. The young master has been hungry for a long time, and at this moment he finally relaxes, picks up the bowl and eats it up. During the period, he did not forget to talk to the old bustard, "What the hell did Zhuyu say?" , let your master hate her so much?"

However, the old bustard covered her mouth with a veil and laughed, her expression relaxed and natural, not as vigilant and indifferent as yesterday, "Young master doesn't know something, the master is easy-going, even if he is told, he won't be so angry. But the woman I don't know what is good or bad, but I can't hold back my master's heart and soul, which annoys the master, and I have to deal with her."

Shen Anran turned around in her heart, and said loudly, "Your master is very affectionate, and that young lady is also blessed."

Ever since he got the order from the backyard, the bustard has been more polite to him, and he has let go of his guard a lot.At this time, although he realized that he was probing, he did not avoid talking about it, and generously explained to him, "Madam is not a woman."

Just this sentence is enough for Shen Anran to know the identity of the person in the backyard.There are quite a few men in the court who marry men, and there are also many who dote on men, but the only one who dares to act recklessly and is full of confidence, not even afraid of the prestige of Shen Guogong's mansion, is probably only King Lin.

This King Lin is the youngest son of the first emperor, the younger brother of the current emperor, and the mother and concubine of Emperor Wu Yan.Therefore, although the two are only half related by blood, their relationship is very good.

Lin Wang's temperament is like that of the imperial concubine, he has no ambitions, he only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun every day, and has no achievements in civil and military affairs.Fortunately, the empress dowager has a big heart, and she only wants the child to grow up healthy and happy every day, and doesn't ask him to make meritorious deeds, and directly protects him from the battle for the heir apparent.

But this move also made Lin Wang stubborn in his early years, lingering on beautiful women, and concubines in the mansion came and went like flowing water.Shen Anran liked to play with him the most when he was young, because Lin Wang had a lot of tricks and he had no scruples.Although the first emperor had no intention of granting him the throne, because he was an old man who doted on him a lot, he once became a naughty ghost in the palace, which made eunuchs and maids fearful.

After the late emperor passed away, Emperor Wu Yan won the battle for the heir apparent, King Lin's status rose to another level, and he became even more unscrupulous, which really gave Emperor Wu Yan a headache for a while.

Shen Anran didn't know what happened afterwards, but only knew that a few years later, this King Lin seemed to have gotten into trouble, and came back from the Empress Dowager one day with two red palm prints on his face. Then a young man who had just performed the weak crown ceremony was welcomed into the mansion, and then the emperor issued a decree to marry him, and that young man became the princess of Lin Wang. On the day of the wedding, Lin Wang's pretty concubine was kicked out. From now on, he will be the only one in Prince Lin's mansion.

The imperial concubine is gentle and cheerful by nature, she never hits a child, those two slaps should be the first time Lin Wang was spanked in this life, it can be seen that he has indeed caused a lot of trouble, and really angered his mother.

Because Shen Anran was trapped in the mansion to study in those years, she never met that Princess Lin, only heard some rumors from her elder brother and father, saying that the young man was very aggressive, and he obeyed Lin Wangzhi, three or five times. From time to time, he will clean him up.However, the imperial concubine liked this concubine very much. Not only did she not protect her own son, but she even helped her and taught him how to tame her husband.

Not only that, there are rumors in the market that this Princess Lin has a bad appearance, she hasn't shown her face for several years after her wedding, and even wore a veil on Emperor Wu Yan's birthday, many people secretly laughed at Prince Lin, satirized this princess, and spoke contemptuously, Unbearable.

After that, Shen Anran saw King Lin visit his father with his own eyes, and the two had a secret conversation in the room for an hour. The next day, Shen Guogong sent many people out. Not long after, more than a dozen officials were dismissed with different charges. The gossip disappeared overnight.

It's strange to say that King Lin was not annoyed by his daughter-in-law's management, on the contrary, he became more and more fond of this young man, and gave him heartily, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of time to clean up the foul-mouthed dogwood. is something he would do.

After the bustard finished trying the dishes, she acted as a servant, and waited aside to prepare dishes for Shen Anran. Her posture was rigorous and sophisticated, and she behaved like two people with the previous bustard. It was obvious that she had undergone strict training. Shen Anran could tell her uniqueness at a glance. Come on, "You are originally from the palace, so I should call you Mama."

"My lord, you are joking. A servant girl is no more than a maidservant in the master's mansion, and cannot be a nun like a lord." The old bustard was neither humble nor overbearing, well-trained.Shen Anran raised her head and looked at her carefully after hearing the words, and found that she was only wearing heavy makeup, but she was not as old as he thought.

The young master lowered his head and curled his lips, thinking, it's really hard to be a maid in the prince's mansion, it's fine to serve people in the mansion, but also to be the procuress in the brothel, it's not easy, it's not easy.Compared with them, Little Hulu is like living in a honeypot, so he still dares to deceive himself, so he must deal with him well later.

It's best to ask the master to deal with him together, the master has more ideas than him, and it will definitely impress the little gourd!

After eating this meal, the young master was in a good mood, and he put down his chopsticks contentedly, and the old bustard serving him brought a cup of tea with just the right temperature, and brought it to him.

This is really a turn of events, last night he was a prisoner in the firewood room, but today he is a guest, but he doesn't know where that arrogant dogwood is at this moment, and what he is suffering.

After eating and drinking enough, just as Shen Anran opened the door, a servant came to lead the way, and he was finally able to see the scenery of the backyard.

Shen Anran had been to Prince Lin's Mansion a few years ago. Prince Lin's taste was very...unique. The place where he lived was exquisitely crafted and very gorgeous, which was quite different from the plain style of red tiles and black walls here.

As he walked all the way, all he could see was a group of four guards. These guards patrolled around in front of the corridor, leaving no dead space.

Shen Anran was quite speechless seeing this posture. As an idle prince with only a false title and no real power, Lin Wang is not worth assassinating at all, okay? !Why do you have to arrange so many people to guard it? Do you think you are the emperor? !Thanks to your emperor's brother's trust in you, otherwise even this formation can join you in plotting rebellion, okay?

And didn't so many guards tell others clearly that there is a big man here?The guard at the gate checked it so carefully, isn't this place without 300 taels of silver?

If Lin Wang was standing in front of him now, the young master would definitely ask this man what kind of medicine he took wrongly, why he hadn't seen him for several years, and his behavior became more and more elusive.

After he followed the guide boy into the depths of the backyard, he heard a faint and shrill cry. Shen Anran turned around and walked towards the source of the sound.The boy who was leading the way for him didn't say anything, and didn't stop him, but followed him not too far away.

In the courtyard, a petite servant was tied to a bench, and two guards each held a long log, and slapped him heavily non-stop.The punished boy's face was pale, and his immature face looked very sad, and he begged for mercy to the man in Chinese clothes sitting not far away, "I'm wrong! I won't dare again! Please, my lord!" Forgive me! The little one was blinded by lard! I was confused for a while—ah!"

I don't know where the guard hit, but he directly forced him to scream and cut off his pleading for mercy.The servants were all dressed in azure blue cloth, and the cloth on the buttocks and waist of the punished man was already dark, presumably soaked in blood.

Lin Wang had already ordered someone to lift a chair and put it on the porch, and sat lazily reclining to eat snacks, without even looking at the punished servant, as if he took all the begging for mercy as an accompaniment, and he was very happy to hear it .The servant next to him was holding the snack plate in both hands, his back was tense, for fear that he would overturn the shortbread that Wang Hao personally made for the prince.

I saw Lin Wang holding the shortbread with one hand and tucking it under his chin with the other, catching all the crusts that fell from the shortbread and putting them into his mouth, and at the end he didn't forget to lick off the sesame seeds and cake crumbs stuck on his fingers , for fear of wasting a little bit.

Shen Anran, who was watching from a distance, almost couldn't bear to look directly and turned his face away. He was lucky enough to taste the craftsmanship of that Princess Lin. It really wasn't good, it could only be said to be of an average level, but King Lin could eat it. It seemed that the world was extremely delicious, and he thought that he was deceived by Lin Wang's expression at the beginning, so he couldn't help but begged for a piece from him.

Lin Wang refused at first, saying that this was made by his sweetheart for him, so he didn't want to share it with others, but the more he was like this, the more curious Shen Anran was, and the more he wanted to try it, he was soft and hard. After a long time, I finally persuaded him and gave him a piece the size of a little finger.

Shen Anran took a bite full of joy, then made a bitter face, and said recklessly, "It's not delicious, do you have a problem with your sense of taste?"

Then he was chased and spanked by King Lin, and ran around the back garden of Prince Lin's mansion for ten laps, until the boy came to pass the word that the princess woke up from a nap, and King Lin was anxious to see his beloved, so he reluctantly let go. over him.

The past is unbearable, and now seeing this scene again, he can only recall his swollen buttocks from being kicked, and the pain of sleeping on his stomach on the bed.

I vaguely remembered that the second elder brother was in the mansion at that time, and when he saw his buttocks swelled up, he was distressed and angry, and asked him who did it, and he seemed to want to take revenge.He then explained the reason, but he didn't expect the second elder brother to lose his temper instantly when he heard the words, and he gave him a hesitant look, and only two words came out in the end.

"Take care of yourself."

Shen Anran: "..."

The author has something to say:

Since the beginning of this chapter, the update progress will slow down, and it will no longer be updated daily. I also need some time to save the manuscript. I hope readers who like this article don’t mind.

The current plot is about half of the full text. If the three-dimensional dimension goes well, it will definitely end in mid-July.Out of guilt for not being able to update it every day, I will spoil it here. The senior brother and the young master may not be able to meet each other for a while, at least within five chapters...

(However, even if I can't touch it, the previous chapter actually failed the review by netizens, what can I do, I am also very desperate...)
