Act like a spoiled child

Mingshen tried to pass the test with cuteness: "Brother, that, I, I... let me carve carrots for you."

Huo Bing glanced at him in disgust: "The great business of carving radishes no longer belongs to you. Only the most favored person in the family is qualified to carve radishes. Go and pour me the tea. Really, it's been a year and a half since you ran away. Just remember to report to His Majesty, do you remember me?"

In fact, Mingshen's letter of peace does not distinguish between objects, neither of the two elder brothers' Ann will be left behind, and he will even ask Huo Bing how his kitten is doing.It's just that Huo Bing was fighting in Yunlong at first and couldn't receive letters, so the letter of safety was always sent to the palace.

Huo Bing obviously had a taste for this.

Mingshen blushed a little, murmured for a long time, then cautiously asked his brother: "Then, when my baby is born, he will be your nephew, can you let him carve radishes?"

Huo Bing: "?"

Mingshen continued to blush, and whispered: "Then the one who carves the carrots at home now, is it you or Mr. Bu?"

He stared at Huo Bing's eyes expectantly, and changed his words uncertainly: "Master Bu is now... sister-in-law, or... brother-in-law?"

Huo Bing: "..."

Mingshen explained to Huo Bing the cause of his stomach for a long time, but later found that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Huo Bing has always been a suspicious and rigid person. He thinks that it is impossible for a man to conceive and give birth, and he insists that Mingshen is sick. For this reason, he asked Yumin for leave, stayed up for five days and nights, and went ten miles away. The medical center outside studied pulse diagnosis technology, and in the name of the doctor's disciple, he found hundreds of pregnant women to try their hands.

In the end, he returned home and brought Mingshen over for a pulse check. With his vivid memory and practical experience these days, he gave him a diagnosis: "...well, you are indeed pregnant... look at it ? Am I the kind of old-fashioned person who can't accept new things? I just need to spend some time to understand... The fetus is very healthy, but why is your pulse condition a little vain? Did you not eat well? "

Mingshen admits obediently: "Sometimes I can't eat and I will vomit."

Huo Bing corrected him: "This is called embarrassment. Do you vomit when you eat sour food?"

Mingshen lowered his voice even more: "I don't like sour...and spicy.... It's not like what the rumors say. I can...also vomit."

As soon as Huo Bing heard this, he immediately went to study the recipes for him, but was pulled back by Ming Shen.Ming Shen obediently added: "But as long as it is made by brother, I will eat it, and I will try my best to eat it if I make it myself."

One sentence coaxed Huo Bing into elation.After coming back from Mingshen, Huo Bing kept his face cold and spoke fiercely, but at this time his expression also loosened.

Mingshen suddenly felt that his elder brother had become much more coquettish, he didn't know if it was an illusion.

His appetite is better now than it was when he was just three months old. He can barely drink a little soup, and then eat some meat and vegetables in the soup, but no more, and he still has to vomit.After Huo Bing knew about it, he tried every means to help him break up the meat and vegetables to make delicious and delicious porridge. The palace also sent eight imperial physicians to take turns burning some tranquilizing medicine with warm properties, and they never stopped.

Huo Bing turned his head and began to think again: "So, you are both my younger brother and my younger sister now, if my own sister is kidnapped and got pregnant, and she is placed in a normal family, she will also kill that stinky man Let it go? Shen Shen, do you think I want to rebel or something?"

Ming Shen: "..."

Later, Bu Yu also rushed over.

Huo Bing's leg is still recovering, and it's not healed. After Huo Bing took care of Mingshen, he took care of Huo Bing patiently.There was no small gesture of intimacy between the two of them, and he didn't shy away from it. At first, Huo Bing would be embarrassed in front of his younger brother and chased Bu Yu away, but Bu Yu had a very good temper, and no matter how much trouble he made, he would just touch his crotch head.

Ming Shen is also very obedient, except for rebellion, he listens to them in everything, although he still vomits every day, his mental state has improved a lot.

He didn't enter the palace now because the palace was preparing for a big wedding. According to the regulations, he should stay at his mother's house with peace of mind. When the auspicious day came, Yumin would take him into the palace, but he didn't expect that Yumin couldn't wait at all. , The day after he came back, he turned around and came to their house from the palace.

They had already experienced a lot of chaos when they were in Jiangnan.Regarding Mingshen's stomach, Yumin also thought he was sick at first, and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.After the imperial physician confirmed the diagnosis, he became more cautious. Compared with his domineering and unreasonable appearance before, he was more indulgent towards Ming Shen, and he could almost be said to be obedient to everything. There was only one thing he insisted on disagreeing: "Just this time , I will not allow you to use the disguise technique again."

Mingshen's initial plan was to directly disguise himself as a woman, so that Yumin could become the queen and give birth to the eldest son, so that others would not scold his elder brother Min anymore.This also means that from now on, he will spend his entire life girdling his waist, restraining his steps, and using a false voice to pretend to be a woman in front of people——before he finished speaking, Yu Min sternly reprimanded him: "No."

He later proposed to pretend to be a woman to be the queen, give birth to the eldest son, and then continue to be a male concubine, but Yumin said no.

The young emperor was particularly stubborn only on his status: "If I say no, then I won't. Don't try to do some crooked ways. Let Wu Han say that you are blessed by the gods, so you can use your son as my son!" What's wrong with becoming the heir of the emperor?"

Mingshen discussed with him in a good-tempered manner: "But others won't believe it. Look, Brother Min, didn't you think I was sick at first? It's too unusual for a man to have children. Brother Min, I don't care about status. I just want to be with you."

Yumin pursed her lips and said nothing.Mingshen coaxed him with a soft voice, grabbed his sleeve, and gently touched him with his elbow: "Let me go, let me go, okay, Brother Min?"

In the end, the two of them took a step back, Mingshen was still his queen, and Yumin agreed with him to use another false identity to be his concubine and have a son.

This is also the best result.

After several days of deliberation, the two finally reached an agreement.Later Mingshen thought about it, and suddenly became enlightened, and ran to ask Yumin: "But both of them are me, Brother Min, why are we arguing?"

Yumin glared at him, with a fierce face, but still pulled him into his arms: "You little fool. You don't care about being wronged, I do."

Mingshen muttered again: "But I also care about you being scolded by others, Brother Min."

Yumin told him: "In history, there has always been only excessive lewdness, and the three thousand monarchs in the harem have been criticized by others. No one would scold a person who has only one queen. Look at that one, who has only one Queen Chen in his life. What will the later generations say about him? It’s about his affection. There are too many people scolding me, and I don’t care what people in the future think of me? I just want you to let them know.”

Mingshen actually wanted to correct him, the two he mentioned, the current giants are criticizing them for violating the responsibility of the emperor, but he thought again, no one has stipulated how the emperor should be, it seems that there has never been one. Someone will dictate what a boy should be like.

Yumin said angrily: "Wenwen is relieved now, she doesn't have to study so many books."

Ming Shen hurriedly criticized him: "Brother Min! How can you be such a big brother?"

"I am, I have it." He hugged him and did not let go.

Since he came back, Yumin often wakes up in the middle of the night, running to check if he is still around, if Mingshen does not rely on him to fall asleep, he will stay up until dawn with his eyes open.

This time he came to Mingshen's house, Mingshen was not very surprised.He was sleepy due to pregnancy, and slept most of the time. He always saw Yumin by his side before going to sleep, and when he woke up, Yumin was still by his side, as if he hadn't left all day.

Mingshen can feel that Yumin is more anxious than him, he always frowns and stares at his stomach, as if it is not his child, but a firecracker.

He became more reticent than before, Mingshen stayed by his side for so many years, only remembering the last time he was so nervous was when Wang Baman was looking for someone in the palace when he was a child.

Later, Mingshen’s anorexia and nausea were resolved—when winter was approaching, the best batch of oranges arrived, and Mingshen peeled the oranges to make orange porridge, and smelled the slightly bitter fragrance when he peeled the peel , Straight to his bone marrow, he couldn't help tearing off a small piece of orange peel and chewed it almost immediately, he felt that he had never been so greedy in his life.

After eating several slices, he realized that it was just skin and hadn't been washed, so he hurried to wash it.

Later, Yumin and the others found out and brought him tangerine peel, but he didn't like to eat this kind of dried orange peel. He must have the kind of orange peel that has a bit of bitter juice and a sweet aftertaste. They can't do anything with him, the Ming family As a result, there were piles and piles of peeled but uneaten oranges.

Later, Yumin asked someone to find those small, thin-skinned tangerines, which were so sweet that they could be swallowed whole, and Mingshen also liked them.

In a few days, Yumin will learn by himself without a teacher. She often sees him and sometimes gets bored while reading, so she bites off the orange peel and kisses him, making Mingshen search for that breath as eagerly as a hungry kitten. I kept asking him for it.The two kissed until the water sizzled, and they didn't feel ashamed.

They are now more like a pair of passionate lovers than before—rather than relatives, brothers, or any kind of monarchs and ministers.

Pregnancy is hard, Ming Shen has always been very good, but occasionally he loses his temper uncontrollably, feels wronged, and sometimes cries for no reason, and he doesn't know what he is crying for.He was finally able to eat, but then he started to have a backache and couldn't sleep all night. He was worried about the baby in his belly, but the more he worried, the more he couldn't sleep, and he cried later: "Brother Min, I don't know what to do. If I don’t do it well, I won’t even be able to sleep.”

Yumin put his arms around him, told him stories as he did when he was a child, and told him: "Who said you can't do anything? Now everyone in the court knows that you have solved my urgent need, Yunlong You are the queen of the good deeds, and the people are still praising your achievements; you found the seeds of the two crops of rice, and the famine is so severe this year. If it weren’t for you, those old men who can only quarrel in the court would all go to drink the northwest wind , I won't allow you to say that about yourself."

Mingshen cried silently in his arms for a while, and soon became tired, and then listened to him telling stories, and slowly fell asleep.

After the big wedding, Yumin was concerned about Mingshen's body, and kept everything simple, eliminating the need for Mingshen to go to the temple, worship ancestors, and a series of procedures. In the palace, make a sedan chair and enter the palace from the south gate.But for outsiders, this is the grandest imperial wedding in the history of this dynasty——

One is that it is said that the younger sister of the Ming family is in poor health, so the wedding date is postponed, so everyone knows that Ming Shen is the only protagonist in this big wedding.

The betrothal gift for the queen alone included [-] catties of gold, and countless geese and geese and silks on horses. The long gift-giving queue walked for three days and nights, but was still stuck in the streets of Chang'an. It is also unprecedented to give a bride price in a different way.

On the day of the emperor's wedding, the emperor sent Bu Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, to greet her, while he himself waited at the south gate.On the side of the Ming family, Huo Bingqiang also supported him to stand up, and did not want anyone to help his younger brother to go out.

The red wedding sedan chair passed through the south gate, and then shared with the emperor's sedan chair, walked through the Qing Dynasty, the Meridian Gate, and finally reached the harem to see the hermitage.When Mingshen got out of the sedan chair, his feet didn't touch the ground the whole time, and he was carried in by Yumin.

He saw the place where they lived when they were young. There was a bright red Changming Palace Lantern with the word Double Happiness hanging in front of the bridal chamber, the gold-plated red door was pasted with the word Double Happiness sticking gold powder, and the long dark red couplets by the wall fell straight to the ground. , which says a happy marriage for a hundred years, a beaming scene.Behind it is a hundred-zi tent, a brocade quilt of scarlet satin—and a jade wishful handle, ready for Yumin to use to lift his red hijab.

He also brought a red hijab this time, and this time he knew it was a red hijab.

Half a year later, Mingshen gave birth to a baby boy.

Because of his special situation, the imperial physician was not called during the delivery. Instead, the couple who replaced Bu Yu came to deliver the baby.One is called Sang Yi and the other is Xie Yuan. Although they have repeatedly promised: "It will never hurt", "Father and son are safe", "If anything goes wrong, we will come to see you first", but when they took out the child, Yu Min rushed in and saw The pale Ming Shenshi still couldn't help the red eyes.

Mingshen woke up, and told him softly: "It doesn't hurt, Brother Min, I didn't feel anything, it seemed to be empty all of a sudden...Brother Min, have you seen the baby yet?"

Yumin said: "I don't want to see it, I don't want children anymore, we won't have children, we won't have any more."

He turned his back, afraid that Ming Shen would see him cry.But Mingshen held him back, he was both angry and funny—the majestic monarch was sobbing in front of him like this.

At the same time, he was afraid that he would be worried, so he tried his best to smile, so that he looked like a fool who was crying and laughing: "Shen, you... don't worry, the child is fine, I'm just... so happy."

Mingshen tried to move, but found that he could still move, so he forced himself to sit up, reached out and hugged him, without saying anything, just quietly waiting for his husband to dry his tears in his arms.

He vaguely knew this man's weakness—the softest spot in the middle, pressing the deepest fear he had when he was young, he was afraid of losing him, he was afraid that he would leave him, even though Yumin didn't say anything, But he just knew.

He began to coax him again: "Stop crying, Brother Min, what's the baby's name? Let's name the baby, shall we?"

As a result, this man got angry with his son: "I don't want it, I'm sorry, what name does a Douding want, you are not allowed to talk, lie down well, and rest quickly, understand? I will accompany you."

In the end, he named the child Yujue.

The double jade is Jue, and when they are stacked and called, they seem to be called "Juejue", so the baby name is also called this.

On the second day after this little cub was born, Yumin directly announced to the world without telling Mingshen that the little prince's biological mother, Concubine Xiao Gui, had unfortunately died of bleeding, and instead handed the little prince over to the queen to raise him. The only legitimate son in the palace is also the eldest son—although he has already made up his mind that he will never let Mingshen have any more children in the future.

To everyone's surprise, this time there was not much scolding in the court - according to Bu Yu's explanation, everyone was already very tired. When they heard that the crown prince was handed over to Mingshen to be raised, everyone said: "Oh! Is that all? I have a child, so there is nothing to say... A kind-hearted person like the queen will definitely treat her as her own... Is there any other news? I know that your majesty has a deep love for the queen... so For many years, there is nothing new."

Ming Shen's plan was in vain.

According to what he had discussed with the priest, he originally wanted to play the role of Concubine Xiao, and he even thought of the good drama of feuding with the concubine and fighting for favor in the future, so he only had to write a script.Not only that, they also imagined various non-existent concubines, named them A, B, B, C and Ding concubines one by one, and designed several disguises and clothing styles for Mingshen, but they could only end it regrettably.

Yumin almost spit out a mouthful of old blood when he found out.

Since then, because there is no one in the palace who can flip the cards, a brand new way of flipping cards has been created. The titles and grades of the concubines are no longer written on the cards, but the place is written.

Seeing Yindian—this means that Yumin is going to Jianyindian to spend the night with Mingshen.

Hall of Changning—this means that Mingshen will take the initiative to come over and sleep with him.

Dong Gong - this means that he will go to Mingshen first, and then he and Mingshen will go to see the child and the little princess.

Taimiao—Go for a walk with Mingshen.

Chang'an—Go back to his home on Chang'an Avenue with Mingshen and stay for one night.

There is also a Jingyang Palace—this means that he must write memorials and do things honestly, and he is not allowed to have any wrong thoughts.Ming Shen forcibly added this sign.

Yumin twitched casually, and frowned: "Why is it Jingyang Palace again? Turn over again."

He didn't put down the pen in his hand until he found the sign of "Jianyin Palace", and told Cheng Yiduo, "I'm going to see the queen."

The old eunuch smiled and rubbed his hands: "But the queen has already brought His Royal Highness over here."

Before the figure could be seen, a small group had already rushed in quickly, and yelled crisply: "Father!"

This little Douding was only three years old, but he already looked quite good. He was dressed in the prince's clothes, and he saluted him very seriously before running over and throwing himself into his arms.

Yumin hugged him and asked him, "Where's your mother?"

Yu Juejue flicked on his leg for a while, and then said: "The queen mother is behind, let Juejue come to find the father first."

Yumin said: "Then Father will accompany you to find him first, okay? Do you miss him?"

Yu Jue felt a little moved.His teacher taught him that royal people must first be self-reliant, and the first thing is not to rely too much on their parents, but he really likes these two people, and he will think about it after leaving for a while.

He held his little head to think for a while, and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, father, but you have to listen to me recite poems first, and then you can go to the mother."

Yu Min patiently listened to him recite a Three Character Classic, and then rewarded him by drawing a small red flower on his face: "I feel really good."

Yu Juejue jumped down from his lap, and thanked him solemnly again: "Thank you, Father. We can go find our mother."

After speaking, he ran outside with short legs, and couldn't stop him.

It was winter.Ming Shen stopped in the imperial garden, covetously looking at the plum blossoms in full bloom, and taking a breather by the way.

Not halfway through, he was hugged by the person behind him.

Yumin put his arms around him and asked in a low voice: "You don't even go to see me, but you are here to see plum blossoms."

Mingshen glanced at Yu Juejue who was standing next to his leg, looking eagerly at him, patiently pushed Yumin away, and hugged the little guy instead.The little guy felt embarrassed after being picked up, and twisted to come down to greet him, but Mingshen held him lightly and didn't allow him to move.

Ming Shen bent his eyes and smiled: "I'm right here, waiting for Brother Min and Jue Jue to come over."

One sentence made Yumin lose his temper immediately.

He came over and touched Mingshen's hand and found it was still warm; he touched Yu Juejue's hand and found it was cold, so he snatched the little boy over, put him in his arms carelessly, and stuffed him I got a hand stove and asked him to hold it tightly: "Don't freeze your mother, hold this well, if your hands are hot, you understand?"

He is always too fierce, so frightened that Yu Juejue hastily hugged the stove tightly, nestled in his arms as if she was wronged, and looked at Mingshen with tears in her eyes.

Mingshen pretended not to see it, and coaxed him: "Father is doing it for your own good, you know? If your hands don't feel hot, you need to drink medicine when you feel cold in winter. It's very bitter, isn't it?"

Yu Juejue suppressed the tears back, and took another look at his father, thinking that this fierce man was still very pleasing to the eye, and he still liked him very much, so he behaved.

The two adults walked slowly in the snow hand in hand.Mingshen looked up at the snowflakes all over the sky, stuck out his tongue and licked it, Yumin took advantage of the situation and kissed it, then backed away silently.

Yu Juejue was very sensitive. Although he turned his back to the two of them, he heard the voice, so he complained loudly: "Mother, father stole food! He hates it!"

Mingshen always couldn't let go in front of the children, and soon blushed, pretending not to hear.But Yujuejue quit, she must ask her father to ask questions, and complain loudly to Mingshen.

But Yu Min told him seriously: "Yes, Father just ate the most delicious delicacy in the world...but you didn't."

Yu Juejue opened his mouth wide.

Yumin continued to tease him: "Your queen mother is the best queen mother in the world...but he is mine too, and you can only have half of it."

Yu Juejue burst into tears immediately.

Yumin finally gave him a heavy blow: "And you, Yujue, you are also my child."

Yu Juejue was about to cry: "You are too domineering, can't you give me some to your mother?"

Yu Min looked solemn: "No."

……

Yu Juejue finally amplified her grief and fell asleep crying on his shoulder.

In the evening, Mingshen watched Yu Juejue being carried to bed, and when he turned around was picked up by Yumin and put it on his head, he complained: "Brother Min, you don't take care of children like this."

Yumin pressed him on the head of the bed, bit his ears affectionately, and said in a low voice: "...that's how I took you before, remember?"

"At that time, I preferred to tease you, and you often cried. I was very bad at that time, and you were easy to coax, so I couldn't help it. Juejue is as cute as you, and you are a little girl." He pushed hard into him Mingshen let out a muffled groan in his body.He gasped and said, "You are my little sweetheart."

He wrapped him in his arms, just like every time before.They wrapped themselves in a quilt to keep each other warm in the quiet cold palace, and they lay together on a small couch looking up at the stars.

Going forward, he was brought in by someone, and he said timidly, "Is your name the Min who the people support the king, or the Min who has the majestic mountains?"

The boy with a frighteningly cold breath stood alone in the courtyard looking at him, his voice was hoarse, but his eyes were gentle: "It's that Min in autumn."

He heard from others that it was the first time the abandoned prince spoke to anyone after he came to the cold palace.

It was as if he was so frightened that he lost his voice when his house was ransacked, and he kept silent until he met him.At no point has he realized more clearly than then that he wants to be by his side forever.

This is something other than his original life, but this desire surpassed everything in that moment, and in all the time after that, it surpassed the majestic palace of the Forbidden City, it surpassed the freedom of stepping out of the cage, it surpassed everything The joy of the world has surpassed his life.

He called him: "Brother Min."

He said, "I am here."
