[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

When Jiao Shizhi woke up the next day, his head hurt very much.He rubbed his forehead vigorously, thinking that it must be the sequelae of the words the prince left last night before he left.But when he saw the jade pendant beside his pillow, there was still a little smile in his eyes, he shook his head, got up and dressed, put the jade pendant into a small purse, and hung it on his waist.

When he went out, he happened to meet guards patrolling.At first, Jiao Shizhi thought that all the guards of the palace were Jinyiwei. It wasn't until later when he entered the palace that he realized that the Jinyiwei had a very high status. It was their duty to guard the Meridian Gate when the emperor went on patrol, but most of the guards in the palace were other personal guards.Perhaps it was because Jin Yiwei's reputation was too high that it led to misunderstanding among the people.

Jiao Shizhi waited for them to leave, and then walked slowly in the opposite direction. The prince seemed to have some "good" idea today, but Jiao Shizhi didn't really want to know.After arriving at the palace, Jiao Shizhi happened to hear Gao Feng's voice. He was a relatively thin man, and he was not very eye-catching among the prince's group of eunuchs, but he was one of the two attendants. Jiao Shizhi didn't think so. He is what he looks like.

"Your Highness, eat more, you haven't moved much today." Gao Feng persuaded earnestly. They came in this morning only to find that the prince had slipped out last night. The clothes beside the bed were obviously not changed last night. Well, this little master often does this kind of behavior, slipping away without leaving a trace. Fortunately, there are many guards in the East Palace, and there are always people secretly protecting him, which is not particularly surprising.But in the past few days, for some reason, the prince, who was not a picky eater, often skipped breakfast, which made them wait around in a hurry.

When Jiao Shizhi entered the palace, he saw the prince standing by the table with a look of disgust on his face.Jiao Shizhi was dumb, walked up to the prince, was called up by him before he saluted, and immediately said with a smile: "Shizhi, I'll take you to see some good things.

This rapid face-changing ah!Looking at the untouched breakfast next to him, Jiao Shizhi could feel Liu Jin Gaofeng's inner wailing.However, Gao Feng and the others were still a little thin in front of the prince, and finally let the prince drink half a bowl of porridge, and then they were all ordered by the prince not to approach them at a distance of three feet.

Jiao Shizhi felt the crying expressions of the servants behind him, coughed twice, and said seriously, "Your Highness, can you tell me where you want to take me?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes were clear, with a smile on his face, "Since it's something fun, it's a surprise. How could we know in advance?" Jiao Shizhi laughed dumbfounded, and followed Zhu Houzhao silently.

I am ashamed to say that Jiao Shizhi has been in the palace for more than three months, but he has never been to other places except the East Palace and Kunning Palace.Ordinary guards still have their shifts, but Jiao Shizhi is doing personal service. Although he doesn't need to do anything, he hasn't left the prince's side since Zhu Houzhao opened his eyes until he went to bed. He hardly has any free time of his own.Until recently, when the prince was wandering around the palace, Jiao Shizhi became familiar with the nearby palaces.

But today, the place the prince is going to is obviously quite far away, because after they walked for half an hour, Liu Jin cautiously strolled up from behind and persuaded: "Your Highness, the distance is still less than half, let's take the bus." What?" Jiao Shizhi, who was standing behind Zhu Houzhao on the left, could clearly see the beads of sweat on the prince's forehead, but his eyes touched the prince's stubborn expression, and he sighed silently.

The crown prince gave a small look of disgust, "I told you to keep three feet away, didn't you hear me? Count carefully by yourself, and go back quickly!" Liu Jin went back obediently.

"Your Highness, Eunuch Liu and the others also have good intentions." Jiao Shizhi said with a smile, even though he knew that Liu Jin was a villain, the look on his face just now was really funny.The prince casually rolled his eyes at Jiao Shizhi, and said softly: "Shizhi, what he is worried about is not my body, but his position. They have been by my side for several years, and they have served me wholeheartedly. But after a long time... I have more thoughts." The fox pretended to be a tiger for a long time, and felt that he was also a tiger.

Jiao Shizhi was thoughtful, but when he thought about it carefully, it was beating and protecting.People's hearts are bitter and dissatisfied, and it is a good thing to rein in the horse. With the prince's heart, he will naturally not treat them badly.It's just... the prince is only eight years old, so thinking about it, it's really... After thinking about it, Jiao Shizhi can't find a suitable word to describe it. The four words of being a little ghost are too disrespectful to the prince.

Shaking his head helplessly, Jiao Shizhi turned his thoughts back, seeing the prince's posture, there was still a short distance ahead.Along the way, the prince chatted with Jiao Shizhi, and he didn't care about it after a while.Finally arrived, Jiao Shizhi counted them all the way, they passed through no less than three gates, and almost left the imperial city directly.But Xihua Gate is still guarded by the imperial palace, obviously it still belongs to the imperial city.

But after counting this way, they almost crossed the entire palace, no wonder Liu Jin took the risk to beg, Jiao Shizhi was also a little worried when he saw the prince's sweaty face.After all, it was winter, and I was sweating a lot. It would be bad if there was a cold wind.

The prince had a smile on his face, and when he saw a place, he was so happy that he turned around and grabbed Jiao Shizhi's wrist to go there. In a hurry, Jiao Shizhi could only vaguely see the word "house", but he didn't know it. What exactly is a "room".

After entering the inside, Jiao Shizhi discovered that although the name of "house" was hung on the outside, there was something special inside. The whole small garden, when Zhu Houzhao flexibly shuttled through it, Jiao Shi After a while, I was a little confused, but soon my eyes suddenly became clear, and suddenly I heard an ear-shattering roar, which was so powerful that it shook the mountains and forests.

Jiao Shi was stunned, and there was a big worm with eye-catching white forehead lying lazily on the hillside in front of him, its mouth was slowly closing, obviously it was the one that made the roar just now.The tiger had already spotted them and the group, but just glanced at them indifferently, Jiao Shizhi felt a chill all over his body, and then faded away.Even though it didn't have the slightest attacking posture, it still exuded an awe-inspiring aura, like a king looking down on the world.

"Appropriate?" The prince called out with a smile on his face.

Jiao Shizhi came back to his senses, only to realize that he was fascinated just now, and he was very rude.With a slight flush on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm being impolite in a humble position." The prince smiled and waved his hands, "When I saw it for the first time, I'm afraid I might not be as good as you." Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, and he didn't realize until then , The place here is very large. The hillside he saw just now is actually surrounded by layers to ensure that the animals inside will not come out to hurt people, but the enclosed area is so large that it cannot be found at first glance.

When the prince arrived, the officials who received the news rushed out to greet him, but the prince walked too fast, and instead entered before them, and only then rushed over one after another.

"Chen Liu Hai pays homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince—" Liu Hai, who was in charge of the tiger room, secretly thought it was bad after receiving the news. Every time this little ancestor came over, he was terrified for fear of accidents. Now the big bug in winter doesn't move much. Why are you here again?

The prince waved his hand casually, and called out, "I heard that the tiger here gave birth to two cubs, so I came to have a look." Liu Hai said with a deliberate tone, "Your Highness, a few days ago, a tiger did give birth to two cubs. There are only cubs, but one of them is too weak and has been abandoned by the mother worm, and although I have sent someone to take care of it, it may still not be able to support it.” The other cub was naturally watched by the mother worm, in order to It's safe, and he didn't send anyone to check it out.

"Bring it to me." The prince said with great interest, and looked back at Jiao Shizhi, blinking his eyes with a smile.Jiao Shizhi also blinked his eyes, could it be that this is the "fun thing" that the prince said?

Liu Hai quickly ordered someone to come over with a grass nest, but before that he invited the prince and his party into the house, if something happened to the prince here, a hundred heads would not be enough to cut off.Although the grass nest looked rough on the outside, the inside was made of various soft fabrics, which protected the little tiger inside well.But even Jiao Shizhi, a layman who doesn't understand at all, knows that this little tiger is extremely weak, and he didn't even open his eyes.It is still winter, which is the most difficult time of the year.

The prince ordered someone to put down the grass nest carefully, and then drove everyone out of the house except Jiao Shi.

other people:……

Jiao Shizhi watched the prince carefully crouching in front of the grass nest for a long time, and even pulled him to observe together.Xiaohu's breathing was also very weak, his small body was trembling, and his newborn hair was messy on his body, looking a bit dim.However, when the prince reached out to touch it, Xiaohu moved his nose, raised his head suddenly, and bit the finger softly with his teeth, with little force.However, it's not that it doesn't want to bite down, it's just that it doesn't have enough strength.

"Shizhi, just look, the ferocity in this bloodline cannot be imprisoned by the body. Do you know what it was like when I saw you dancing sword for the first time?" The prince let Xiaohu grind his teeth with his fingers, said softly.
