Act like a spoiled child

After all, Mingshen still failed to return to the palace before NO.13, he took the little princess around, and was late for playing without paying attention, so he simply stayed at home for another day, preparing to rush to the palace tomorrow morning.

He coaxed Yuwen to sleep in his room, and decided to stay up all night by the door to avoid any accidents to the little princess.He felt that Yumin's action of letting the little princess out without moving was very inappropriate. There were so many assassins in the story, and he was worried. How could Yumin, the elder brother, be at ease?

Huo Bing heard that Yumin was going to take him to the spring hunting, and asked the entourage, Ming Shen said he didn't know: "I haven't been to the spring hunting, but as a rule, officials above the fifth rank will go, I wasn't eligible to go."

Huo Bing said: "Oh."

He lowered his eyes, as if he was thinking about something silently.As soon as Mingshen saw his brother using his brains, he became nervous, afraid that he would see something from Yumin's big moves these days, so he asked without silver 300 taels: "Brother, why don't you ask me why I went?" ?”

"Let's make up the numbers, what else can you do, just standing there with your small appearance is also pleasing to the eye." Huo Bing said lazily, "Who in the court doesn't know that you are good-looking? I heard that they picked you up last time." I got a nickname, and I'm called Lantai Shuangyu... Don't look at me like that, ouch, ouch, don't cry my dear Shenshen, I mean the emperor loves you, last time he scolded you bloody, this time Of course I have to make persistent efforts to coax you, what's so strange about that?"

Ming Shen said dumbly: "Brother, I didn't cry. But Lantai Shuangyu... I know that Lantai refers to our Yushitai, but who else is there?"

"That fish catcher." Huo Bing wondered, "Is he good-looking? In fact, I don't think he is half as good-looking as you. Is he too serious? It seems that the next moment he will catch people back for torture and interrogation. Do you think he is pretty?"

Ming Shen said: "Okay, brother, his name is Bu Yu, and Mr. Bu is famous for his red lips, white teeth, white plump and handsome, he is a famous back-up man and young talent of our Yushitai. He treats me very well. And doesn't he want to accompany you to see your legs?"

After speaking, Mingshen squeezed his face seriously again, and asked doubtfully, "But am I not straight? Brother Min never said that I was not straight."

"Go, go, don't talk nonsense with me here, my Shenshen is the most beautiful in the world, go and read it to me, it's my medicine bath time now." Huo Bing said, "I don't know why I heard that Brother Zhuoyu because I am a little happy to accompany my paralyzed man to heal his illness instead of spring hunting. Go and get the book, Shen, today I want to hear you read the biography of Huo Guang."

Mingshen ran to find the book.After he finished reading, Huo Bing also finished soaking, Mingshen ran over to help him out of the bath, wiped him, carried him back to the wheelchair, and pushed him all the way to the side of the bed.Huo Bing blocked his hand, climbed onto the couch by himself, then sat up quietly and leaned against the head of the bed, waiting for Mingshen to massage his legs.

This is the habit of the two brothers staying in Jiangnan.Huo Bing's legs were not unconscious, but they were weak and weak enough to support him to stand up. When he ransacked his home, he was hit by a sap in the back, and he couldn't stand up since then.

In the first two years, I didn't feel anything, but after taking good care of it, I gradually got some consciousness, sometimes intermittently, and often had sharp pains.The Huo family is different from the Ming family in that it has a deep foundation. After that, Huo Bing was taken to the old general Huo's old friend. He went to many places to seek medical treatment since he was a child, but unfortunately there has been no progress.

He never troubled others, so he learned massage technique by himself, and planned to try it out while he was still able to move it, so he didn't need to rely on anyone.But this guy Mingshen has only been in the south of the Yangtze River for a few months, and he learned a lot from him when he was idle and bored. He often practiced with him and pressed him until he screamed. Huo Bing also started to be lazy from then on.

Mingshen pressed his legs hard and earnestly, Huo Bing watched quietly, after watching for a while, he suddenly sighed, stretched out his hand to pinch his cheek, and said in a low voice: "Shen Shen."

Ming Shen looked up at him: "Huh?"

Huo Bing said: "This spring hunting, you have to look after the princess."

"Princess?" Ming Shen was a little surprised.

"The inner palace is empty now, and His Majesty has not yet established a queen. The one who loves the most is this little sister. Everyone covets the position of consort—although the princess is only less than ten years old, there is no precedent for her consort entering the palace to take care of her when she gets married. Some You can't think of people's tricks, I won't go into details...do you understand?"

Mingshen immediately became nervous: "I understand, I understand, but there are guards around Your Highness, I don't know how I can help?"

Huo Bing said: "Your Highness likes you, you just have to stay close to her. Take ten thousand steps back and say, in case your Highness develops some affection for you in the future, our family has a son-in-law, and he can also shine on the lintel, right?"

Mingshen waved his hands again and again: "No, no."

Huo Bing's gaze was as sharp as a knife: "Why not?"

Mingshen was taken aback by his gaze.

His brother still doesn't know that the little princess's affection for him is not an ordinary liking for him, but... the kind of liking for her sister-in-law, because in Mingshen, the little girl can get a lot of freedom and freedom that she can't get in Yumin's place. care.

However, Mingshen still remembered his ambition to make a name for himself, and now he began to ponder: since it is impossible for Yuwen to marry him, how likely is it to marry his brother?

The most important thing is that it depends on whether Wen Wenxi likes it or not. The little girl is not a bargaining chip for exchanging status. Her own meaning is the most important.Seeing Yuwen pushing Huo Bing's wheelchair and running wildly, she doesn't seem to hate it.

Mingshen felt a little worried, and already had a plan in his heart, and was going to ask Yumin in a few days if he had any thoughts on Wenwen's son-in-law. If not, he would recommend Huo Bing, although the possibility was small. But he had to give it a try, after all, he felt that Huo Bing was the most reliable person he knew.He was very upset when he thought that there might be an ugly thing like Wang Ba staring at this little girl who followed him all day.

If Wenwen doesn't want his brother, then he can also ask Yumin to help his brother arrange a blind date, at least to solve the lifelong event first.

He made up his mind, and said honestly: "No reason, brother, I will try my best."

"It's good if you have this awareness. If our family wants to live and work in peace, the only way to get the favor of the royal family again." Huo Bing said, "Brother thinks, you can do it."

Mingshen responded indiscriminately, thinking about his little calculations in his heart, slipped back to sleep with Yuwen, completely unaware that his thoughts were written on his face.

Huo Bing has always been able to figure out the little Jiujiu in his heart. In the past two years, he can even guess what Mingshen wants to eat the next day, and he will definitely not be able to escape his eyes at this time.

Huo Bing watched the door close, and a smile slowly appeared on his lips: "...Little bastard, I will think, let alone a princess, even an ordinary girl is not willing to marry a paralyzed person."

In the early morning of the next day, Mingshen and Yuwen rushed to the palace together, the stars hung high above his head, and it was still a little cold in the late spring morning. When he saw Yumin, he thought that Yumin would be angry that he was late all night, but he didn't .

Yumin looked at the two big dark circles on his eyes, and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

He came over and touched Mingshen's hand, and found that his fingertips were cold, so he asked someone to bring a fox fur, and wrapped it around him, and asked softly, "Are you sleepy? Let's go in the afternoon, and you will come back to me." Let’s rest in the bedroom for a while, I will come to accompany you after finishing the work at hand, and we will have dinner together later. If you are hungry, you and Wenwen will eat first.”

Yumin's eyes are very strange, as if trying to put on a gentle expression, but because he is usually tense, he looks a bit nondescript.

That voice was too gentle.Yumin usually speaks with an attitude of domineering, and at his best, he is as indifferent as water. When did he change his sex?

Mingshen was as cowardly as a quail, and carefully stretched out his hand to put a sticker on Yumin's forehead: "Brother Min, are you alright?"

Yumin glanced at him coolly: "I'm fine, do you mean that you think I should be fine, Shen?"

Seeing that he was getting aggressive again, Mingshen felt relieved, tugged at Yumin's sleeve and said, "Then I'll go to sleep for a while, Brother Min."

Yumin began to speak softly again, and said softly, "Okay."

Ming Shen: "..."

He felt that Yumin was dazed.

What was even more bewildering was that after he woke up, Yumin sent someone to send him a copy of "The Queen's Rules". The first half of the book was in crooked foreign language, which he couldn't understand. Notes - a small translator at Yushitai, who is usually responsible for translating various Mongolian, Uighur and other messy languages ​​into official Chinese.

It turned out to be a storybook, roughly saying that there are gods similar to Nuwa and the emperor in the West, but the male god in this pair is extravagant, often looking for flowers and asking willows, which made his wife very angry. The husband is disgraced.

Here, Yumin wrote with a vermilion pen: "The empress should be jealous."

Ming Shen: "???"

Didn't the original version he studied all say "jealousy is immoral"?

Looking back, it was the legend of the male god who sowed seeds everywhere. Yu Min once again instructed: "It is not enough to be the way. It is the right way to get a person who looks good and guards the side. It is enough to get a queen. The emperor and queen encourage each other. Three thousand in the harem is not as long as one person." .”

Ming Shen: "???"

Holding the book, he felt a little hot, and sighed embarrassingly: "It turns out that Brother Min is still here, so innocent."

Now he feels that this book is probably all nonsense, and Yumin showed him for fun, so he didn't take it to heart.He is very relieved of his elder brother Min. When he was young, Yumin might have thought of making his sweetheart favor the sixth palace, but it was not as outrageous as not being a concubine.

After a while, Yumin hurried back to have dinner with him, and went out immediately without even saying a few words during the dinner.

Mingshen didn't see him again until the afternoon.Standing in front of Changning Hall, Yumin looked back at the officials who lined up outside the hall to take sedan chairs one after another, and suddenly said: "Ming family of Wanling, come and ride with me. The boat is long, play chess with me to relieve boredom." .”

Mingshen actually doesn't know how to play chess.But he also knew that this was Yumin's exclusive honor to him, and he was afraid that he would be jolted in the sedan chair, so he obediently followed Yumin into the car.According to the rules, a sesame official like him who is less than five grades has to ride in the green cloth car sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is not equipped with a tea and fruit plate, nor is it equipped with soft cushions, and there are four people in a car.

They sat down facing each other, but Yumin stretched out his hand and pulled him over.Mingshen almost fell into his arms, finally managed to sit firmly beside Yumin, and was dragged by Yumin again, this time he was firmly hugged into his arms.

Ming Shen hurriedly poked him: "Your Majesty, this is still outside."

"This is inside. No one can see it, Shen." Yumin hugged him, patted his head, and said calmly, "I won't be able to hold him after a while."

Ming Shen whispered: "...Your Majesty seems to be particularly clingy these days."

"Hmm. Isn't it good to be clingy, Ah Shen?" Yumin asked in a low voice, "I think you're thinking too hard, every night...every night I miss you."

Ming Shen thought to himself that it was really because he hadn't returned to the palace for a long time, and Yu Min started to be unruly again, and even spoke so boldly.He was a little embarrassed, so he continued to whisper: "I told you to choose the best girls, and put a few more empresses in the palace..."

Without saying a word, he was picked up by Yu Min, and he fell down, and was placed horizontally on his lap by Yu Min, holding him down with one hand.

The sky and the sky were spinning in front of his eyes, and after a while, he saw Yu Min's face approaching.

"What did you say?" Yumin asked.

Ming Shen did not dare to speak.

"I came back and thought about it for a long time after looking for you that day, and I also heard some opinions from others. Cheng Yiduo told me that the emperor and empress are intimate and should speak without reservation. I think it is very right." Yumin said, "I I wanted to tell you a long time ago, I like it..."

Mingshen blinked at him.

Yumin abruptly stopped talking, the secret that had been kept in his heart for 12 years made all the tension and bewilderment impossible to hide, and he covered it up with superficial calm—although it was not very good , although this secret may only be known to Mingshen.

He said, "I like..."

Ming Shen wondered, "What do you like?"

"I like men." Yu Min made the final decision, "Ah Shen, no matter what you remember about me, I have never liked women. Since I was a child, I have never thought of marrying another woman."
