Act like a spoiled child

In the winter of Xuanxu's 39th year, a new emperor succeeded him.

The old emperor is old, and it is rare to have a sober moment.He couldn't bear the war of words from the ministers, and finally decided to give the seat of Zen to his nephew Yumin, and handed over the crimson seal that had been held by the masters of the country for generations.At this point, the priest no longer caressed his Tianwei, but poured the oasis and white tiger's forehead hair representing the dragon's power at the feet of another young man.

When this matter got to Mingshen's ears, the enthronement ceremony had already been completed, and all he was left with was an edict written by the new emperor himself: "Go to Beijing quickly, don't stay."

After two years away, he is still familiar with the characters on the imperial decree, the vermilion script is dark red, and the regular lower case script, under which the undercurrent is surging.Compared with the edict, this is more like an ordinary oral message.

It was a long journey from Jiangnan to Beijing, and the Ming family spent dozens of taels of silver before the coachman was willing to add a hand stove and a few catties of charcoal to the carriage.

"He is not in good health. Our family, Shen, is going to see the emperor! I will give you the money when it arrives. Are you afraid that the people in the palace won't give you the money? What? Don't you believe me, a paralyzed man, can still lie to you?"

The conversation outside was in full swing, Mingshen tried his best to poke his head in and take a look, but unfortunately the rough and hollow window panels didn't even have a hole cut out, and there was a musty smell in the carriage.

Mingshen poked his head out: "Brother, hurry back, it's cold outside, your legs will hurt again at night."

One hand lifted the rag curtain and stuffed his head back, and then a handsome face appeared, trying to prop up his body from the wheelchair, grinning at him: "Ah Shen, Don't worry about me, take care of yourself. Don't be afraid that he will mess with you. If he wants to kill you, you have nothing to do with the one on the dragon chair. The dog emperor lied to your feelings and ruined your youth. How dare you ask you to go back and see what he has done? It's so beautiful, you just ignore it, just coax him, just coax him."

His brother waved his hand: "Come back and drink flower wine together! Protect your buttocks and head, Shen, I'll wait for you."

Mingshen touched his head, laughed, stuffed his hand stove into his brother's sleeve, and drove him away: "Okay, okay, I know, I will coax you, you go back first, you go back first. Brother Min It's Brother Min, Your Majesty is Your Majesty, I can tell the difference."

On the third day of the first lunar month, it is appropriate to marry, bathe, and sacrifice. Unfavorable: none.

The dark clouds were dark, the snow was flying heavily, Mingshen had a little fever, and he was drowsy all the way, even his buttocks were about to be knocked off. Finally, he got out of the carriage before his delicate waist was broken. It happened to be the evening of the second day of the first lunar month.

He had no relatives in the capital, the Ming family had been ransacked as early as when he was eight years old, and even the old mansion had been sold off, so he had nowhere else to go, only went directly to the gate of the palace.

After getting out of the car, he looked around, and when he glanced over, he realized that there were no familiar faces. Just as he was about to hand over the imperial decree and wait for it to be announced, he suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and a line of invisible people slowly walked out of the palace gate. The ceremonial guards at the head and tail were lit with radiant peacock lanterns, Ming Shen subconsciously stepped aside, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of bright jade and broken gold scattered on the ground.

"Lord Ming, excuse me for being late, is it freezing?"

Looking up, he saw that it was an eunuch he had known since he was a child. The eunuch who had sold imperial decrees and made toys for them had changed from a soft-spoken middle-aged man to a slightly old eunuch. .

When Mingshen saw his old friend, his eyes finally brightened: "Grandpa Cheng."

Cheng Yiduo laughed until the creases on his face appeared: "You can't do it, Mr. Ming, come here quickly, you have been weak since you were a child, so don't suffer from the cold with me in this wind."

Ming Shen didn't want to be too polite with him, and quickly got into the sedan chair.His physical weakness is a disease brought about by his mother's womb. He was congenitally deficient. Even after learning swordsmanship and horsemanship, he still has a weak body. His complexion is often pale, and his eyes are extremely dark, with long eyelashes blinking. , as if saying "I'm very good", often making his brother reluctant to beat or scold him.

He glanced at the bright road, a little curious: "Couldn't this be for me to walk?"

Cheng Yiduo rubbed his hands: "Where can it be? Get on the sedan chair and we will take you to rest. Your Majesty is discussing matters with the elders, but he still misses you very much, so he specially sent someone to pick you up. "

Mingshen knew that the old eunuch had misunderstood what he meant, but he didn't say much, so he poked his head out quietly to look at the dark gold under the palace servant's skirt.

The sedan chair is very stable.Mingshen endured the rising tiredness, and asked the old eunuch a lot of things, and when he talked, he only talked about the things about his childhood. During those years when he was Yumin's companion, the wheels came and went, and he didn't know what he was going to do. What I said, I forgot in a blink of an eye.

After getting off the sedan chair, Mingshen saw that it was their original bedroom, and immediately rushed in like a girl, walked around a lot by himself, and then was called by the old eunuch with a smile to undress and wash.

Cheng Yiduo used to wait for Yumin to take a bath, but later Mingshen came, and it took Yumin and Cheng Yiduo to work together to hold him down who would cry when he took a bath.The old eunuch had washed their group of dolls over and over long ago, Ming Shen did not avoid suspicion, after others brought the buckets over, he talked to the old eunuch through a screen.

"Brother Min...I mean Your Majesty, so he still remembered to renovate this place." Ming Shen soaked himself in the bucket and looked up at the dusty bedroom.

The places that should be repaired have been repaired, but many of their childhood memories are still preserved—for example, a pillar that collapsed when he and Yumin were playing Cuju. Never healed any cracks above.

Playing the emotional card may be regarded as a kind of sugar-coated cannonball.

Mingshen has always liked sugar-coated cannonballs. This child is easy to coax, well-behaved and clever. He has liked gold, silver, jade, and delicacies since he was a child. The broken bed was named the Glazed Immortal Couch, and it was broken and tattered, but it could make him live a [-]% happy life.Yumin told him a story, and he could listen to it attentively for a long time.

When they got their first sum of money, Yumin personally picked out a real Xiushan jade for him, and after he happily took it, he told him: "Jade is a plaything of the third grade, and you shouldn't have it." .You are my first courtier to reward, and I am your only monarch. I swear by this jade that you will never betray me until I no longer need you."

Later, he really didn't need him anymore, so Ming Shen went to Jiangnan.

When Mingshen was eight years old, he was outside this pillar and saw Yumin beat to death a stealing court lady.He was pushed inside by Yumin, and he only had time to see the white neck exposed by the maid kneeling on the ground, fresh and moist, soaked with wet blood.

That night, he had a nightmare, and the dream was filled with the screams of the maids. When he woke up, he found Yumin hugging him tightly, his voice hoarse: "Scared you? Don't be afraid, as long as you don't betray me, I will Always treat you well, as long as you are by my side, I will not treat you like others, you are different, Ah Shen, you are different."

Yumin seems to be a mixture of gods and ghosts. When he speaks to him, his voice is extremely gentle, but the meaning of those words is extremely frightening.Ming Shen touched his slightly trembling arm, and repeated over and over in a low voice: "Brother Min, I will not betray you, I will stay by your side."

He did it, and for two full years, Yumin kicked him away, and there was no news of him.

When he first arrived in Jiangnan at that time, he and his own brother were not yet familiar with each other. The money he had saved so hard was finally able to buy some things, and he was still thinking about finding someone to bring to Yumin.But things were eventually returned, and even the letter was never delivered.

He thought something happened to him, but the old eunuch sent a message saying that everything was fine.

He has been a companion to Yumin for ten years, but he has missed the most important two years - building momentum and ascending the throne, walking out of the lonely and cold deep palace, and fulfilling their young vows as one.Yumin didn't want him, but chose another companion sent by his mother's family when he was crowned, he was older than Mingshen, and even the guard of honor when he ascended the throne was handled by this person.

He also guessed later that Yumin didn't let him stay by his side for the past two years. Apart from letting him come to the south of the Yangtze River to avoid the limelight, there might be a little distrust of him.

From then on, he knew that two years ago, he was out of Yumin's life.It is the same as the ending of all incompetent courtiers and monarchs, which is the best one.

He blinked his innocent eyes, trying to talk to the old eunuch: "Grandpa Cheng, do you know what His Majesty asked me to do?"

The old eunuch said "Huh?" outside.

Mingshen asked in a low voice: "My brother and I... in the south of the Yangtze River, kept our own place, and didn't save a lot of money or connections. And we didn't... tell anyone about His Majesty."

The old eunuch immediately became serious: "Ah Shen, what are you talking about? You feel that our Majesty is going to liquidate you, so he sent me, the big eunuch with palm prints, to pick you up. Is the palace lantern to lead the way?"

Ming Shen: "..."

Knowing that he couldn't explain clearly, he sank down and let the water soak the tip of a small and fair chin: "Grandpa Cheng, you can scold me, but I really don't know what Brother Min is thinking... two years ago he didn't want me , Today, two years later, there seems to be no reason to want me again."

Mingshen held onto the edge of the bucket with both hands, got up with mist and splashes, walked barefoot in front of the screen, took a towel and began to wipe himself.

There was silence outside the screen, the old eunuch seemed to be a little further away, and said a word to someone.

After the commotion outside subsided, he began to wear the clothes they had prepared for him, and continued: "I actually think Jiangnan is pretty good... I want to do a small business, find a wife for my brother, and I want to find him a considerate one." Daughter-in-law, I can take care of his leg problems. As for myself, I would like to find a gentle and virtuous person to do business with me and revive the Ming family. It’s nothing serious. Grandpa Cheng, if you are free, please tell His Majesty for me , let me go back to Jiangnan. I'm afraid others won't take good care of my brother."

He chattered a lot, but he didn't put on his clothes because of the wrong knot.

The light was on his side, so he himself didn't realize that his figure was completely shone through the screen, becoming a dream-provoking shadow.She has a small frame and a thin stature, but she is not skinny. Her shoulders are round, and the contours of her waist, abdomen, buttocks and legs are clearly visible.Even the arc of his trembling because of the cold can be clearly seen.

Only then did he realize that Cheng Yiduo hadn't responded for a long time.

A deep voice sounded outside: "Is this the reason why you went to the kiln?"

"I've already sent someone to take care of Huo Bing. I also sent an imperial doctor to treat his leg. I'll arrive in about half a month."

Mingshen was terrified——

He turned his head and looked at the vague shadow outside: tall and straight, standing there like a strong pine tree, that shadow made him find a familiar feeling in his memory, but it made him a little afraid to recognize him.

He didn't see Yumin's face, but he suddenly felt that the person opposite him should have the same flawless face as before. It was a good-looking face that any master would praise after seeing it.Yumin can only put his own thoughts in his eyes, and sometimes when he glances over, Mingshen will feel that he sees a cold star in winter in his eyes.

Two years later, he thought, brother Min has grown so tall.

"So," Mingshen shivered, he didn't know whether he was frozen or frightened; he hadn't put on his clothes yet, so he could only subconsciously ask, "Min...Your Majesty, are you not messing with me?"

He thought for a while, and the word "liquidation" was too heavy, so he used a more euphemistic and popular term.In his mind, he was thinking about what his brother called "protect the buttocks and head", so that he would not suffer from the pain of his skin, beheaded, or spanked by the imperial rod—his life would be worthless if he went down with twenty sticks. up.He felt that Yumin could master it well.

"...What does 'engage' mean?" The voice on the other side seemed very flat, "I'm here to marry you."
