The prince in the cold palace

The most ruthless imperial family.

There are intrigues everywhere in the palace, there are court wars in the imperial court, and there are battles in the harem. There is almost no pure land.

But there are exceptions to everything.

In a desolate garden in the northwest corner of the palace, commonly known as the "Lenggong" Chiju Palace, people there live in seclusion and are basically not allowed to step out of the palace. They live in all the deposed concubines from the Kaijiang Emperor to the present.Concubine Mu, that is, the deposed mother concubine, was framed and thrown into the cold palace during the third month of her pregnancy. She became the first concubine to be thrown into the cold palace after the current emperor took charge.

Concubine Mu is quite different from the description of "poor conduct" in the imperial decree. On the contrary, she knows books and etiquette without competing with the world. What a nostalgia, there are concubines like this all over the palace.

Therefore, in fact, the abandoned concubine of the former dynasty in the cold palace is very good to Concubine Mu. Lufang's sentence "being bullied" is an exaggeration. , In fact, he was taken care of by many concubines of the former dynasty.

Zhi Fei is already three years old, and although his life in this cold palace is not considered rich, even not much different from ordinary palace people, he has grown up healthily in general.

The mother and concubine are very virtuous, so she asked Lvfang to find some plain silk and embroidered them with colorful threads into colorful and elegant handkerchiefs. Lvfang entrusted the eunuchs from the palace to sell them outside the palace. The money was used to buy milk for Zhi Fei to supplement his nutrition, and the rest of the money was accumulated to buy vegetable seeds, set up a small field in the backyard, plant some fruits and vegetables, and eat delicious dishes made by Lu Fang every day refreshing.

The concubines in the Chiju palace are served by only one maid, and none of the princes grew up in the cold palace, so those "aunts" who are in their thirties and 40s like to tease the poor who has already learned to walk.

"Xiaozhifu, come here~ come here to eat sweets~"

"Come to Auntie, Auntie has a fun rattle here!"

"Oh, of course it's my place, come here, Auntie will sing for you~"

Women take off the mask of fighting for favor and love, but in fact they can get along well even if they put down their disputes. What these women like most every day is to pull Zhifei far away to see who he will be attracted to.

In fact, no one is attracted, Zhi Fei rolled his eyes.

Although his physical age was only three years old, he was 32 years old when he died, and his actual age was 35. His mother and concubine are eighteen years old, and it is said that his father is only 22. These women who call themselves "aunts" are the oldest He is only a few years older than him, and the phrase "aunt" is really hard to say, but it can't let others find that he is different from ordinary three-year-olds.

He could only stumble towards one of the women who had embroidered for his mother and concubine with his two fleshy legs...

"Wow~ Look, I said that Xiao Zhifei likes me the most~"

I don't like you the most, it's the concubine's job that needs you.

It was late to play in the garden, and several women sent Zhibao back. On the way, they met Lufang who came to pick up Zhibao. Her brows were wrinkled. It seemed that there was something unhappy, and there were not as many people as usual. In other words, especially after seeing Zhifei, the hesitation and hesitancy is really distressing. Lufang never pretends, and the emotions she expresses are always the most real and powerful. After Zhifei discovered this , I don't hate her so much as when I was born, on the contrary, I like her more and more.

After all, Lufang is also considered to be Zhifei's half nanny, who feeds Zhifei milk every day.

The three girls had a great time, and left in a hurry after talking to Lvfang. Smile more.

Lvfang took the little hand that was holding her hand, and walked slowly on the road.

Zhi Fei raised his head to look at her, the difference in height prevented him from seeing her expression clearly.

Lufang was the servant girl who served her mother and concubine before she married into the palace. Even if she became a maid in the palace, she would still serve her by her side. It is rare to be able to maintain such vitality.

Forget it, Lufang is only a 17-year-old child, so let me start with myself.

Stopping, Zhifei tugged Lufang's hand vigorously, he blinked his big watery eyes, those peach blossom eyes that were somewhat similar to those of Concubine Mu, the dark eyes were like the brightest stars, so pure that it was unbearable Can't help but take good care of her.

"What's wrong?" Lu Fang also stopped.

"Lu Fang, do you have something to say to Zhi Fei?" Zhi Fei showed a puzzled expression, tilting his head, looking so innocent.

Lu Fang's expression suddenly collapsed, and she sighed, "I still can't hide it from you, my little master. In fact, the empress also agreed...just after the little master's birthday... I'm going to go to the Taiyuan Academy."

Ah, it turned out to be this.

The royal family stipulates that every prince who reaches the age of three must enter the Taixue, and is eligible to choose a companion and a personal bodyguard.

Zhifei turned three years old last month, and soon he will go to the place where the prince studies and studies.There are four little princes who entered the Taixue this year, Zhifei is the youngest, and the oldest is the fourth prince Zhimo. Because of his poor health, he did not enter the Taixue until he was five years old.

These were all said by Eunuch Li, the eunuch who came to Lenggong to deliver meals a few days ago. At that time, Eunuch Li gave Zhi Fei a meaningful look.

Zhifei Zhifei, the word "waste" in the name, doesn't it mean that the father of this body abandoned him?

In the evening, when I went back to listen to my concubine mother telling me a lot of things to pay attention to with a happy face, she also took apart an old dress and sewed a small schoolbag for Zhifei overnight.

The mother and concubine, who was much younger than him, taught him in an indescribably weird way, but Zhi Fei could only nod his head and tilt his head, seeming to understand.

"Forget it, Fei'er is still a child, so many concubine mother said to you, I forgot in a blink of an eye. Tomorrow, Lufang and Lufang are going to choose a companion and bodyguard. This must not be forgotten, do you hear me?"

"Yes, I see, Concubine Mu. A waste of time will never forget."

The little concubine put her arms around her, just like in the past three years, when it comes to things that concern her, the concubine will become nervous, this is very understandable, mothers are like this, let alone a concubine like Mu Good mother, hug her back, stretch out her small arms and touch the back of the concubine mother with difficulty, but still can't touch her vest.

It would be nice if he grew up and could protect her.

Thinking of this, Zhi Fei said to Concubine Mu, "Concubine Mu, I will definitely not quarrel with the imperial brothers, I will get along well with them, don't worry about me."

The concubine's voice was choked with sobs, "Yes."

The next day, Lvfang led Zhifei to Chaoyun Palace to choose a companion to read. Lvfang was a maid of honor and could not accompany her into the palace where His Majesty discussed affairs, so she waited outside the palace.Because it is in order, the waste is ranked last. The legendary father of the wise and martial boy who is in power on the battlefield is not there. Father-in-law and five teenagers.

It is impossible for the prince's companions to come from ordinary families, most of them are official sons, and those who can be selected as companions are also excellent talents.

But, who would be willing to follow a prince who was born in the cold palace?

Zhi Fei looked at the five teenagers who were all taller than him.

They all lowered their heads, couldn't see their expressions clearly, couldn't see their eyes and didn't know what they were thinking. They were probably mocking themselves in their hearts. Say, "Papa, can I ask them a question?"

The father-in-law looked at Zhi Po with some doubts, but nodded anyway.

"Can a frog jump over a tree?"

The immature childish voice asked a seemingly cute question. Many teenagers grinned and shook their heads, thinking that this little prince is really whimsical, and also feel that he is really stupid and ignorant of world affairs. Not even going to answer.

But Zhifei's eyes were still rolling. The young men had already raised their heads, looking at the innocent Seventh Prince, they were worried.

After waiting for a long time, only a young man in gray stood up slowly, his forehead was sweating a lot, his eyes only met Zhi Po for a moment, then he quickly lowered his gaze, trembling his lips, and said, " I... I think I can, although I don't know why, I just think I can..."

These words made several teenagers, including those father-in-laws, burst into laughter.

Zhi Fei also laughed, his clear voice was indescribably sweet and alluring, but he didn't realize it himself, "You guessed right, because big trees can't jump, of course frogs can jump over big trees."

The boy raised his head in surprise, and saw Zhifei's warm smile, which made him feel that all the rhetoric would wither in comparison. waste.

"What's your name?" Zhi Fei walked up to the boy.

"Hui, Hui, the seventh prince...my name is Wen Han." Wen Han said tremblingly.

Zhi Fei stretched out his hand to hold Wen Han's hand. The boy's palms were sweating a lot because of tension, and his delicate face became a little pale because of nervousness. Zhi Fei turned his head and looked at the father-in-law in charge. It's time to waste Wen Han, please trouble your father-in-law."

Wen Han, who was two heads taller than Zhifei, was led by Zhifei, and followed behind him, his face turning a little blush.

Corner every hall.

The teenagers here are all wearing black short jackets, with long hair tied high behind their heads, and they look indescribably energetic and handsome.

There were about a dozen teenagers, all about the same age as Wen Han, and some were older than Wen Han. I asked them on the road just now. Wen Han is seven years old this year. Honest but not rigid, he is a malleable talent.

At a glance, these teenagers were almost expressionless, only one boy standing on the far side had an undisguised sarcasm on his face.

interesting……

This is the original idea of ​​Zhifei.

"I want him." Zhi Fei pointed at the young man with a frivolous expression.

A father-in-law stepped forward to persuade him, "Your Highness, let's choose another one. This one was sent back by His Second Highness last year. He doesn't know how to serve others..."

In the palace, if you can't choose a guard, you have to cleanse yourself and become a servant when you reach the age. Although you also have martial arts, you lack the most important thing for a man.

"I want him." Zhi Fei repeated.

The father-in-law broke out in a cold sweat, he could only go through the formalities for Zhifei after he stared at him, and the frivolous young man followed Zhifei out of Jiaofeng Hall.

Lufang had been waiting for a long time, and she was also happy to see that the people holding the handicapped looked very energetic. She happily led them away, her hands tightly holding the handicap, her expression mischievous and cute.

After walking for a while, Zhi Fei turned his head to look at the two people following him, one of them lowered his head with a blank expression, and the other showed disdain for his gaze.

Zhi Fei looked at the boy and asked, "What's your name?"

The black bunt snorted, "Our names are bestowed by the prince. If you can still read a few words, you can give me a name. It's just a title anyway."

Wen Han, a young man in gray beside him, already showed surprise, and of course anger.

Lufang went up and scolded: "You dare to bully the little master?! Do you know that the little master is the biggest here?"

Zhi Fei patted Lu Fang's hand to comfort him, and then walked in front of the black bunt, "Mu Ao, you and your concubine's surname are Mu, with the same name Ao, Ao Xiang's Ao, how do you like it?"

Mu Ao was noncommittal and agreed.

Wen Han's eyes almost popped out, and it was a big deal to give a little guard the surname of his mother's concubine, even though he was an unfavored concubine.

Zhi Fei wanted to reach out to pat Mu Ao on the shoulder, but the ten-year-old Mu Ao was really tall, a head taller than Wen Han, and Zhi Fei couldn't reach him, so he had to pull his sleeve instead, looking a bit The suspicion of being coquettish, "You are like an eagle, you look lonely, but you will eventually soar to the other side of the sky and show your strength."
