Act like a spoiled child

Under Yumin's insistence, Mingshen had no choice but to reluctantly accept all the items from the shopkeeper—hundreds of butterfly flowers, a whole roll of neatly arranged hairpins and pearl hairpins, children's toys, powdered Kodan and other miscellaneous things s things.

Yuwen was very happy, buried her head in it like a treasure hunt for a long time, and told Mingshen excitedly: "Brother Jianyin, when I was young, my wish was to go out and be a shopkeeper, with everything, snacks and toys to play with. "

Ming Shen felt the same: "When I was in Jiangnan, I also wanted to open a restaurant and be the owner, so I could eat freely."

Yu Min spoke: "It's so miserable, do you guys have such a hard time in the palace?"

Yuwen immediately said: "But brother! You can only eat three chopsticks at most for your favorite fried shrimp. I was also taught in the palace that the princess should not eat too much. The ancestors' rules and parenting are three points of hunger and cold. I A few days ago, I saw the son of the King of Hainan, five years older than me, but about the same height as me, so thin, how could he be so carefree?"

As he spoke, he wanted to sigh again: "My sister-in-law and I are really miserable."

The little girl glanced at Yumin's faintly darkened face, and immediately corrected herself: "I, the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's brother are really miserable."

At this time, Mingshen finally recovered from the regret of not being able to bargain, and asked: "Why did Your Majesty come out of the palace with the little princess?"

Yuwen told him excitedly: "Brother Huang misses his sister-in-law, and came out to find you specially! And Wenwen also misses his wife very much, when will she go back?"

Yumin interrupted the little princess, and said: "I took Wenwen out to play, and at the same time, I will monitor whether there are any officials in the court who are dereliction of duty or doing inappropriate things, such as visiting a brothel...Why are you here?"

He stared at Mingshen closely.

Mingshen swallowed his saliva, and whispered: "I'm here to stroll... I'm here to find my brother."

Yumin asked again: "Did you find it?"

Seeing that he was going to be unable to explain clearly, Mingshen began to quickly recall "how long will the officials in the court be fined if they are caught shopping in a brothel" and calculated that his salary for several months is enough to make up for it. Not yet, no. He's probably home."

"Oh, I'm home." Yumin said.

Mingshen stared at him for a long time, then suddenly slapped his head and remembered: "By the way, Your Majesty, I still have some urgent matters to deal with, can you allow me to step back and come to you later?"

Yumin said: "I will go with you."

Mingshen had no choice but to take Yumin to the bottom of Hualou.The flower building was closed suddenly, and the guests left one after another after watching for a while, only a group of bustards and girls who didn't know what happened were left in a row, basking in the sun and chatting with each other. Passers-by made fun of a few words.

The closer he was to Hualou, the darker Yumin's face became.Mingshen saw the girl who asked him to tie flowers for the hairpin at a glance, and when he was about to walk over, he turned around and grabbed Yumin, stood on tiptoe and pressed his shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, don't go any further. Go, the front is very dangerous, there are too many people, there may be assassins, and now everyone is disguised, it is easy to cause accidents."

Yumin just stood still, watching him walk towards a beautiful girl downstairs with a smile on his eyes.

In fact, Mingshen was afraid that Yumin would be molested by others—the girls in Hualou came quickly to be self-willed, and sometimes they said something that made him blush even as a man. Originally, the girls here are very fond of handsome clients, let alone It is said that Yumin looks especially good like this.He had already seen it, and before Yumin approached, there were already girls who were looking at him curiously, covering their faces and whispering something, and even laughed a few times from time to time.

It's a pity that Yumin himself didn't notice it, his eyes followed Mingshen all the way.

Mingshen tied up the bead flower for the girl, and received five Wen coins as a reward, and happily came back to look for Yumin under the girl's reluctant eyes.

Yumin asked coldly, "Why did you go?"

Mingshen scratched his head: "You see, you can get some money in exchange for some beaded jewelry repairs."

"How did you make it up?" Yu Min remained expressionless.

Mingshen looked at his face carefully, and felt that he might really be caught as someone who came to visit a kiln——with fear, he went to find a wooden hairpin and a flower in the shopkeeper's burden, and gave it to him. Demonstrating how to string flowers into hairpins, after stringing up one flower, Yumin said: "I didn't see clearly, please demonstrate again."

Mingshen didn't dare to show his anger, so he strung another one for him, slowed down his movements again, and showed Yumin a closer look.

Yumin stared at him without saying a word, and did not express his opinion when he was finished. Mingshen seized the opportunity to be courteous, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is it okay? If you like it, I will give you one too." ?”

Yumin was noncommittal, so Mingshen looked at him carefully, and chose a more elegant bone stick for Yumin—of course the quality wouldn't be very good, but it still looks good.He still took a primrose-colored flower, pressed it carefully, and then handed it over respectfully.

Yumin accepted it, and finally said a word: "Ah Shen, as a queen, you post a notice and take jobs in private, because you want others to look down on the royal family, and say that the queen of a country is so poor?"

Mingshen froze, and said dejectedly, "I was... poor like this. If Brother Min hadn't fined me three years' salary, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to spend money."

"The queen's status does not include items, and the silver alone is 1000 taels a year. You won't come to see me?" Yumin clasped his wrist and walked back, Mingshen had to follow behind him like a child .

Mingshen whispered: "Didn't you reprimand me in court and tell me to get out... Later I asked for sick leave and didn't have much time to see you."

When Yumin came out like this, Mingshen also got a little emotional.He remembered the incident of being scolded by Yu Min who was furious by Thunder that day, and he was not so willing to leave.

He took his hand out of Yumin's hand and said: "If your majesty has nothing to do, I will go home first. My brother probably hasn't eaten yet...I'll bring the meal back to him."

"Then when do you plan to return to the palace?" Yu Min asked.

Mingshen thought for a while, then said unsurely: "I don't know, maybe after my wind and cold get better?"

Yumin glanced at him, and suddenly grabbed his hand again: "Come back to the palace immediately with me, if you feel unwell, wait for the imperial doctor to see you, and you don't care how long you want to rest."

Mingshen tried his best to pull his hand out, a little helpless: "Brother Min, I went to the medical clinic to see him, and the doctor wanted me to rest at home, if you think I'm taking such a long leave at Yushitai, I'm suspicious , it is also possible to dismiss me..."

Yu Min's face changed slightly: "That's not what I meant."

Mingshen muttered: "That's it. You are the emperor, so you don't have to worry about how long we petty officials have been on leave."

Yumin insisted: "Can there be an imperial doctor among the doctors outside? You go back to the palace with me first."

Ming Shen said: "I saw the disease at the medical clinic at the street corner. The old man was also an imperial doctor before, and he prescribed the prescription."

Yumin: "..."

Ming Shen said again: "The kiln is closed today, and you can't find any officials who violated the law and discipline. You'd better go back to the palace earlier. There are many people outside, maybe there will be bad people. You too, Wenwen is still here. Little, there are a lot of bad guys out there, what if something goes wrong?"

He added: "Although I'm very poor, it's a little embarrassing for you, but I really need the money. I... I'll take back all my notices. I'm sorry, Brother Min."

Mingshen glanced at the pitiful Yuwen on the side, reached out and touched her head, then turned around and asked tentatively, "Then... the minister...retired first?"

Yu Min's complexion was already so ugly that it couldn't be more ugly.

Mingshen would become obedient if he was beaten a few times by him occasionally, but if he really felt a little wronged, he would also rebel.

Why doesn't he know that these few words are a bit stinging?When he was a child, he would cry directly, and Yumin could still coax him, but he obviously can't cry now, he is an adult.

Mingshen resigned sullenly, and returned to the place where he posted the notices before, taking back the notices one by one along the way.However, it was a little strange that he remembered that he had bought fifty sheets of hemp paper, but only 48 sheets were returned in the end.

Maybe it was blown away by the wind?he thought.

When Mingshen returned home, he found that Huo Bing had already returned and was just sleeping, so he didn't bother him, but asked his servant to heat up the food he brought back, and was going to eat together when Huo Bing got up.

While he was thinking about whether to fire a few family members, so that their family would not be able to pay their wages next month, he felt a little regretful—Yumin was the emperor anyway, and although he felt a little wronged, he wanted to do it from the beginning. Doing something to help Yumin, isn't it?

He sat down and planned to write an apology and confession note, like every time they quarreled and quarreled, he first gave in, but before he started writing, the people in the palace arrived——

A whole ten boxes of pure gold and silver, and countless jewels were brought up.The Ming family's front yard was almost filled with these things, and there was nowhere to go.

It was Cheng Yiduo who came to read the imperial decree. He cleared his throat and said simply: "Ah Shen, these are all rewards from His Majesty."

Mingshen was stunned: "I, I don't need so much... Even if it's the Queen's duty, it doesn't have so much?"

"It's like this, Shen, Your Majesty feels that you have been treated badly, so he decided to advance the empress's salary for ten years. Originally, His Majesty wanted to advance the empress' salary for 100 years, but using such a large sum of money would be noticed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, so I took it first." It's come this far."

Ming Shen: "..."

Cheng Yiduo sighed: "Ah Shen, you used to quarrel, but it was only three days at most. Now that His Majesty is the emperor, it is not easy for you to be both a minister and an empress, but Your Majesty has figured it out. Do you want to treat you as a minister or as a queen, have you figured it out yourself?"

Mingshen was stunned: "I..."

Cheng Yiduo waved his hand: "Let's talk, Shen, if you have something to say directly to His Majesty, I'll go back first. You take good care of your illness, we will wait for you in the palace."

After watching the old eunuch leave, Ming Shen muttered: "I want to talk to Brother Min, but Brother Min never talks to me..."

After Huo Bing woke up, he was not surprised to see gold, silver and jewels all over the yard.On the contrary, as soon as he woke up, Ming Shen said that he was a little tired and was about to go to bed early.

Ming Shen said: "Brother, you are not allowed to eat up that water chestnut pancake and the crispy yellow one. I will eat more tomorrow when I get up."

Huo Bing said: "Who will rob you? I only eat meat, and all the vegetables are yours."

Ming Shen went to sleep.

He had another dream, the time when he and Yumin quarreled when he was a child.Yumin is arrogant and moody, it is basically impossible to expect him to apologize, and he is also prone to anger, which is really difficult to deal with.

He lost the chicken he carved for him——Yumin said it was a phoenix, and Yumin ignored him for several days. He touched it and apologized, acted like a baby, admitted his mistakes, and did everything he could, but Yumin didn't want it either. understand what he meant.

He cried out in a hurry, thinking that Yumin didn't want him anymore. After seeing him cry for a long time, Yumin's expression became loose, and he leaned over to hold him in his arms, and wiped his nose and tears with his sleeve, saying: " Ah Shen doesn’t cry, I don’t blame you anymore.”

"I don't blame you" This is the biggest concession Yumin has ever made.Yumin holds grudges, and will avenge all grudges. He is a person who never forgives others. It is as difficult as going to heaven for him to not care about anything.

Mingshen fell asleep drowsily, suddenly felt a little thirsty, and when he opened his eyes, he found that it was already midnight.

He was a little annoyed that he missed tonight's supper, and just about to sit up, he was startled back again—something was walking towards him in front of his bed, it was a black figure, before Mingshen had time to call out The man was covered with his mouth and threw himself on the bed.

Looking up again, it was Yumin.

Mingshen was still in shock: "Why are you here!"

"I came through the window." Yu Min said, looking down at him, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I was impulsive last time, and there are many things I haven't explained to you during the day."

Mingshen felt that he was about to stutter.

Yumin came over to look for him through the window in the middle of the night, just to say a few words to him?

He subconsciously said: "Daytime... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to quarrel with you, Brother Min."

"I know." Yumin patted his head, slid down his hair to his cheeks, pinched his cheeks, "It's my fault, Shen, you can do whatever you want me to do, don't be the same I'm pissed off."
