Merry Jiwei

I turned around and said to Zi Shiwei: "Second brother fell in love with someone!"

Zi Shiwei was surprised, and said, "Did he tell you?"

I smiled and said leisurely: "If you like someone, needless to say, I will know."

Zi Shiwei spread his hands and said with a smile: "It's easy for others to guess who they like, but who the prince likes, can you guess?"

I smiled, tapped him on the shoulder with a fan, and said: "Whoever this king likes, he is one of them. Life is long, and it will be boring to be the only one for a long time! If you like this king, you should be more careful!"

Zi Shiwei listened, fell silent for a while, and then only smiled slightly.

After a few days, Zi Shiwei became uneasy again, and was repeatedly assassinated, poisoned, and fell into the water at night, etc., so angry that the king stomped his feet at the house and scolded Zhuang Zhongting for taking the wrong medicine again.

Zi Shi gave a long sigh, and said, "No matter how nice Jinwang's Mansion is, it seems that I am not suitable to live here!"

The king was silent and only smiled slightly at the end.A day later, the king led the purple guards to the prince's door.Although the power of the second brother is a little bit far from the title of prince, it is still stronger than me, a prince who does not live up to his name.Although the king promised to protect Zi Shiwei, a gentleman knows himself and is valuable. Besides, letting the crown prince protect Zi Shiwei is worth four or two thousand catties. It is a good deal for this king.

I led Zi Shiwei into the prince's study room, Zi Shiwei came to this room for the first time, looked up and down, I smiled and said: "Here, this is the study room of the prince's mansion, it seems normal, my second brother is fine too Good thing.” I’m being polite when I say it’s normal, but compared to my magnificent study, if the prince’s second brother’s study is normal, then I’m flattering.The second brother spends most of his time in the study, so generally speaking, except for breakfast, he eats his lunch and dinner in the study. There are already a dozen dishes of side dishes on the table in the study, obviously it's time to eat.The popularity here is much stronger than the study that I only use to receive guests and friends.

Zi Shiwei glanced around, and said with a smile: "Of course, your study is much cleaner!"

I was about to reply when I turned around and saw a little boy in the corner, my eyes lit up immediately, and I said, "Hey, Ah Xun, have you become a male favorite?"

Luo Chuanxun lowered his head as if he was bending over, hearing my yelling, his neck turned red, and he said in a stuttering voice: "His Royal Highness, Your Highness, I am a servant who cleans the study, not some male favorite. "

The more shy he was, the more I found it interesting, and the more I wanted to tease him, I gave a faint oh, looked at the plate in his hand, and said solemnly: "What are you doing here, a cleaning servant picking fishbone? "

Luo Chuan Xunwei stammered a little: "I, I also take care of His Royal Highness eating. "

I clapped my hands and said, "You take care of cleaning and eating at the same time. Could it be that you want to be my second brother's wife?"

As soon as Zi Shiwei heard about Prince Yuanying's male favourite, he rushed over with great interest, looked and looked at Luo Chuan from head to toe, and then put on a worried expression.

Luo Chuanxun quickly looked around, blushed and said in a low voice, "His Nineteenth Prince, His Royal Highness probably didn't like His Highness's joke just now. "

Upon hearing this, Zi Shiwei nodded to me with deep approval.

I giggled and said, "Well, don't you just want to get out of the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible?Why don't you come with me, and when you want to save the money for redemption for the salary of ten sons a month, how long should I save for you? "

Before Luo Chuanxun said yes or no, the second brother had already walked in from the yard. I stuck out my tongue. The point of the second brother was that he stepped well. I haven't hooked people away from him yet. Already showed up.As soon as he entered the courtyard, he glanced at us two uninvited guests indifferently, as if he was not too surprised, naturally... I have never seen my second brother surprised.

I said loudly: "Second brother, I sent someone here for you. "

Yuan Lin sat down on the old wooden red sandalwood chair in the study, and said, "Who are you sending to? "

"My informant. I heard that second brother, you have taken in a beauty from eldest brother this month, and two beauties from sixth brother, plus Feng Ge's beautiful lady, and Li Ge's beautiful lady. I'm worried that if I don't go to my brother If you put someone in the house, you will suffer in the future."

I said it carelessly, quite agreeable, Yuan Lin didn't seem surprised, said: "Who are you going to send?" "

I slapped Zi Shiwei hard on the back and said: "That's him! "

Zi Shiwei actually had a panicked expression on his face, as if my second brother would jump at him immediately without hesitation, which made me burst out laughing on the spot, almost making the show impossible.The second brother glanced at him, but didn't speak.

"However, second brother, I have to make it clear that since he is my informant, he is still mine. He is placed in your house." I said cautiously, naturally... this is temporary , Zi Huwei turned back to go back.

Zi Shiwei immediately unfolded his folding fan, and when I looked up, the thousand-mile hero changed, and wrote: only read, not wait, I smiled slightly.

The second brother smiled and said, "It's over?"

Embarrassed, I brought up the topic, and said, "There is only one small matter. Hu Shidu has offended a few small bosses in the Jianghu, so second brother, you are responsible for his safety." As soon as I finished speaking, the study room It was so still that you could hear a needle drop.

"Tea." Yuan Lin turned his head to look at Luo Chuan, who was picking fishbone seriously.

Luo Chuanxun just watched his ears and nose, and his nose and heart, for fear of harming the fish in the pond, after hearing this, he hurriedly went to make tea for Yuan Lin.

He walked towards Yuanlin with a new tea bowl, only to hear my second elder brother smile lightly and say: "It's not a difficult task, Hu Shidu can stay."

I was overjoyed when I heard that, I have known my second brother for so long, he is very talkative today, I glanced at Luo Chuanxun again, so I decided to join in the heat and said: "Second brother, I still want to... "

Before I finished speaking, I saw my second brother pointing to the blue and white porcelain tea bowl in Luo Chuanxun's hand with a smile, and said, "Does Nineteenth Brother know the origin of this bowl? "I glanced at the teacup depressedly, thinking that the Prince's Mansion had been caught in a fire in recent years, and after being rebuilt, the contents inside would have been 300 years old. Sure enough, my second brother smiled and said, "This The blue and white porcelain is made of Soviet materials from Persia. It has pure and steady hair color, exquisite composition and uniform color. "

I was suspicious in my heart, but I didn't dare to settle accounts with my second brother. I just opened my eyes wide and looked at the blue and white porcelain bowl, which was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary. I was shocked and murmured: "So precious?"

The second brother said calmly: "It's probably enough to take away half of your palace. "

I took a deep breath, not to mention Luo Chuanxun who was holding it, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, I looked at the bewildered Luo Chuanxun pitifully, and said in my heart This person is probably about to be bullied by the second brother.

I was thinking in my heart, seeing my second elder brother's slender fingers resting on the teacup, so carelessly, the eyes of the people in the room were completely glued to that slender but very powerful hand with full, well-trimmed nails, heart Follow those fingers up and down.

Finally... the second brother still accidentally slipped his finger, and the tea bowl fell to the ground in the eyes of the six of us, and it fell to pieces.

"It's too hot." The second brother frowned, he glanced at the debris on the ground lightly, and said lightly: "Remember the deed of sale. "

I looked at Luo Chuanxun's earthy face, and it was painful to think about it. Before he came, the one with earthy face every day was not this king!

The second elder brother turned his head and asked kindly, "What did the nineteenth brother want to say just now?" "

I was so scared that I swallowed my saliva, put the tea bowl in my hand on the table, and whispered: "I want to say, if the second brother is okay, I will leave first. "

The second elder brother waved his hand mercifully, and I turned around and left as if I was afraid of breaking the floor tiles of the Prince's mansion. As soon as I went out, I ran away with a whimper. The whole person is empty, and I don't know if it's because the second brother is used to claiming compensation, and I feel a little uncomfortable if I don't claim it for a day.I swayed to a beggar, he was huddled in the corner of the house in ragged clothes on a cold day, I took out the money purse and threw it into his begging tray, the beggar was so startled that he opened his eyes to look at me, I don't know how to take a purse.

The king smiled and drifted away. This king is also a hero-a hero with a thousand gold.

As soon as Zi Shiwei left, it turned out that the palace was quite quiet, but I heard that the Prince's Palace was quite lively. The Queen Mother's confidant Ge Tong led people to seal the Prince's Palace and brought the Prince into the palace. Candles were burning in the palace's mansion all night, but this king had a good night's sleep.At dawn, I heard that the Ye Ting Palace had been sent out to toss all night, but the crown prince had gone back safely. Many people must have wondered, so I just smiled.

Yuanbao is still checking the warehouse every day, and the carriages in the palace are still scurrying around. From time to time, I hear old man Feng yelling, not allowed to eat vegetables... I don’t know why several cranes are raised like chickens by him!

The empress dowager's grandma hasn't been looking for me very diligently recently, but within half a year, the number of people who came to give gifts to my door has gradually decreased, and it has gradually become rare.Everyone in the house gradually got used to it, and the only thing they cared about was Yuanbao. He was looking forward to the bridge in the palace day and night at the gate, and he heard the high-pitched voice say: "Prince Jin, Empress Dowager Lafayette Call you to go!"

I tapped Yuan Bao's head with a folding fan and smiled, and said, "If you gain something, you will lose it, if you lose it, you will gain it!"You see, Lafayette called me less, and the bills of the second brother of the prince are also less! "

Yuan Bao raised his mouth and muttered: "When will the prince settle accounts with the prince? "

I listened for a while, and thought it was true. I sent someone there, but I didn’t bring anyone back. Sure enough, I got home. Thinking about it, I couldn’t help feeling a little tired, so I turned around and wanted to go back to sleep again.Who knew that Yuan Bao hummed and said: "You are a person who specializes in loss-making business. You know that that person is just borrowing this place as a fairy board. What he always thinks about is the Prince's Mansion, and he still pretends to send it away. The look of evacuation! "

When I heard this, I suddenly became angry, my face sank, and I said, "Is this you who called me too?No matter how big or small, let me go back to my room, when will I tell you before I can come out! "Yuan Bao looked aggrieved, but he didn't dare to disobey me, so he went back to the house and closed the black door.

The king opened the fan with a clatter, and just shook it, but a crane saw the lush green leaves under the king's feet, and burrowed in to eat it. The king was full of enthusiasm, and he lifted his foot and said: "You little beast, You don’t want to be a noble bird, but you want to be a chicken!”

"It's so rare to see Ji Wei lose his temper!" Someone laughed.

As soon as I turned around, I saw my concierge had a pale face, and my elder brother was standing in the distance with a smile on his face.

"I thought Ji Wei had no temper, but I didn't expect to be aggressive, but he is also quite tempered."

I listened with a smile, there are fewer guests now, and my most important duty as the gatekeeper, Prince Jin, has also become lax. I probably didn't expect that my brother, the prince, would barge in all the way.I waved my hand and said, "Come on, it's all my brother, don't be so rude!"

I have grown a lot of new vegetables in my garden. Old Feng is good at growing flowers, and he is also good at growing vegetables naturally. Let him play with what kind of fruits and vegetables, which adds a bit of wildness to my garden. .

The elder brother Yuan Xing smiled and said: "Others say that the nineteenth brother is extravagant and extravagant, and he is extremely particular. You have to go to the back garden of your Prince Jin's mansion to have a look, and then you will know that the nineteenth brother is also a frugal person."

I laughed when I heard this, and said: "Brother, don't tease me, you don't know what kind of person I am, I plant some things in my garden just for fun, and it has nothing to do with thrift. "

Yuan Xing snorted, and said, "What kind of nonsense is growing vegetables!"

I smiled lightly and said, "Brother, you like to invite grandma to visit the garden and enjoy the strange trees and flowers. When grandma is free, I will invite her to visit the vegetable field. Isn't it very interesting!"

After I finished speaking, both of them laughed. Eldest brother has recently won the heart of Grandma Huang. I heard that the Queen Mother visited his garden a few times, and she said that governing a country is like planting flowers. To know how to grow flowers, you must know how to remove the branches.What I said made a lot of associations in some irrelevant people. The queen mother doesn't like the prince, and everyone in the dynasty probably knows it. Everyone wants to know if the prince is abolished, who will finally become the great treasure.The eldest brother has cultivated the way of governing the country by planting flowers. It is conceivable that the Empress Dowager praised him. I guess his nearest court was stepped on by a few inches.

The elder brother's high-spirited appearance now is very different from the usual one, and his aura can't help but increase a bit, he said with a smile: "No wonder the queen mother always said that among her twenty or so grandchildren, you are the one who pleases her the most !"

After hearing this, I waved my hands again and again and said, "Big brother can't put such a high hat on me. If it gets out, people will think I have other ideas. If the queen mother wants to love, she will love the prince and the second brother the most. The so-called deep love , then the responsibility is serious, like me, who is irrelevant, unable to ascend to the great treasure, unable to support the wall, the emperor's grandma will make fun of it."

Eldest brother paused, pondered for a while, and then smiled: "No wonder second elder brother once said that you are the nineteenth brother with the brightest eyes and the clearest mind in the dynasty. I thought he was joking, and I just realized tenth brother today. Ninth brother, you are indeed a sensible person." After he finished speaking, he gave a long bow and said, "I was wrong just now, Brother Yu, so why not accompany Nineteenth brother."

I didn't say anything serious, but he was flattering and bragging, and at the end he gave me a salute, and I knew I couldn't be kind today.When the guests came to the door, the ingots came out without purpose, and the ostentation was one set after another. A pair of Qingci official kiln inlaid nasturtium tea bowls from hundreds of years ago that were locked in the warehouse on weekdays were also taken out, and some rose cakes were also made. Thousand-layer cakes and other small snacks, followed by more than a dozen small dishes of candied fruit such as bergamot and citron.In the end, I brought out an antique broken flower cup for us to wash our hands. In the flower cup, I put some green calyx plum petals that my elder brother gave me earlier. color.

The eldest brother sighed and said, "Nineteenth Brother, I can't even do it. If these things are not ordinary people, I wouldn't use them casually. Nineteenth Brother, you are so free and easy!"

I smiled and said: "These are just things outside the body, come and taste the plums brewed by Yuanbao, they are the best in our family, even the queen mother's grandma often asks me to pack some for them!" This is true, Yuanbao It's not good for cooking, but it's really a must to remediate some jujube and plum.

The eldest brother smiled and said: "I have tasted this stuff at the Queen Mother's place. It's sour and sweet, and it makes people feel comfortable. I heard that the nineteenth brother is very good at choosing people. It's not that people with second-hand skills don't need it. Yuanbao is close-fitting. Servant, naturally extraordinary!"

Yuan Bao looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, which seemed to be full of royal education.

I let out a long sigh and let Yuan Bao go down. Yuan Bao wisely picked up the tray and retreated, and then I said: "Brother, didn't you come here on a special trip today to tell me something nice? Tell Nineteenth Brother something, so you don't have to worry about it." I guess!"

Yuan Xing didn't speak, just took a piece of mung bean cake and took a small bite, said: "Your mung bean cake is better than the prince's, and it's better in this sense. It's crispy, sweet and delicious, but not greasy."

I didn't answer, and took a piece of mung bean cake and tasted it carefully, as if I was looking for the measure that my elder brother said.

Big brother saw that I didn't answer the question, so he had no choice but to continue the conversation and said: "Actually, I'm here today, Brother Huang, I have something to know what you mean, Brother Nineteen!"

I thought I finally got to the point, so I nodded to express that I was listening carefully, and then my elder brother Yuan Xing said slowly: "The queen mother wants to abolish the prince, where do you stand?!"

As soon as he said this, the pastry in my hand fell to the ground in fright.

The elder brother shook his head again and again, and said: "Look, you are so frightened by the nineteenth brother, didn't you know the result of such a small matter a long time ago? Why do you need to panic!"

I looked around and said sincerely: "Brother, if I were you, I would never think about it. Don't think Grandma Huang has been very kind to Second Brother, but it's not that she doesn't like Second Brother in her heart. It's just that I have some scruples about him. Among our dozen or so brothers, only the three of you and the eldest princess were born to the current emperor. To put it bluntly, you four are real brothers. What is the queen mother thinking in your heart? You know better than me, if I were you, you should listen more, talk less and do nothing!"

Yuan Xing took a deep breath and said with a smile: "Come on, I'm just asking you for some news, to see if you are serious, what other thoughts do you have when you are still an emperor brother, I will remember what you said Get off!" He stood up and laughed, "I have something else to do, so I won't chatter about lunch with you."

I naturally kept a guest with a smile, and Yuan Xing kept saying that there was something to do, and I didn't force it, and sent him out of the house with a smile, and sighed long after looking at his back.Yuan Bao whispered next to me: "This old man will go to the Three Treasures Hall if he has nothing to do!"

I sighed, and said, "This is the empress dowager looking for a thug, but someone is willing to send it to be cannon fodder."

Yuan Bao said: "The emperor has not given birth to many sons, who can say that he has no chance, don't take it too seriously, my lord!"

I turned around and said with a smile: "The emperor doesn't have many sons, but the queen mother will ask someone to adopt him... My king, am I not the nineteenth prince of the current emperor?"

The queen mother's move is obvious in itself, she doesn't like these four relegation lines very much, so instead of letting them dominate, it's better to divide the whole pot of porridge so that she can check and balance.

"I just said that the eldest prince has a high heart, but usually he likes to put on an air of aloofness, as if he doesn't care about common matters, but in fact he thinks very hard!" Yuan Bao pursed his mouth like a prophet.

I said leisurely: "Yuanbao, go back to your house, I haven't let you out yet!"

Yuan Bao's mouth became even more flattened, but knowing that the anger in my heart was still there, he didn't dare to be presumptuous, so he went back to his dark room sobbing.I was wandering all the way, and when I passed by Lvemei, I saw it blooming a tree, and its aura was overwhelming, so I patted the branches and said: "If you have a spirit, you must bless your master, don't think about it!"

The second brother has been safe and sound for so many years, it can be seen that even the queen mother is afraid of him, and the queen mother is helpless, how can the eldest brother be his opponent.The Empress Dowager naturally knew the ending, what she wanted was the ebb and flow, if she could borrow a knife to kill someone, that would be the best.As for why the Queen Mother ignored me, I couldn't be more clear in my heart.

The queen mother suddenly followed Jiangnan, but she suspected that the second brother had ambushed a secret army in Jiangnan and raised a group of forces. Letting me, a little confidant, follow him there, which originally meant spying.She made a fuss by herself, but when I came back and asked three questions, her old man got angry with me and ignored me for a while, probably to tell me to see what I am without her.

I smiled slightly, without the favor of the queen mother, naturally my mighty prince returned to his original form.

Ben Wang has not been free these days, and the teahouse has changed a storyteller these days.He wasn't particularly good-looking, but he exuded a strong smell of books. He patted the gavel with his slender fingers, and shouted, "That little thief, don't get off the horse and die!"That kind of momentary arrogance fascinated me, and I spent every night in the teahouse listening to his storytelling.

This king is not afraid of Zhuang Zhongting, the Zhuang family made the empress dowager feel suspicious and too busy to take care of herself, I am afraid that now that my uncle is still angry, he will not have the time to bother me again.I have also been to the Prince's Mansion a few times. When I met the shy Luo Chuanxun, I would naturally make fun of him, but he is very gentle. After a long time, he is not shy but not annoyed.Zi Shiwei seemed very happy every time he saw me go, he just said why so few came, I smiled and said casually, "Why don't you come back?"

Zi Shiwei laughed and said, "It's not the same when you come!"

I stuck out my tongue and said, "A brick in the prince's mansion costs thousands of gold, and I haven't paid off my bill yet!"

Zi Shi tilted his head slightly, looked me up and down seriously, and suddenly said, "Yuanying, you have a very good heart!"

I laughed out loud when I heard it. People often praise me for being free and easy, but few people praise me for my heart. I laughed and said, "Now I am the same as the outside, and the inside is like gold." Zi Shiwei listened to me pulling the book bag , picked up the folding fan and knocked on my head, said: "What gold and jade are in it, you don't feel panicked! Your Highness asked you to read a few more books, why didn't you listen!"

I laughed, turned and left.

When I came out of the Prince's Mansion, I went to listen to the book as usual, and the reward was so generous that the storyteller couldn't help but look at me when he came on stage. I was so happy that I waved to him again and again.

Several months passed like this, and finally one day, the storyteller came to my room, bowed to me, and said, "Caomin Li has seen the prince!"

"Sit, sit, sit!" I said repeatedly.

Li Ke was obviously in a bad situation. Many places in his green shirt were white, but the starch was clean.

"Where are you from?"

"Grass people Huai'an people!"

"Okay, that's considered a metropolitan person!" I said with a smile, shaking my folding fan, "No wonder I can't hear your local accent!"

Li Ke said indifferently: "My lord praises it, Huai'an is Huai'an, the capital is the capital, the distance between the two places is hundreds of miles."

The more arrogant he is, the happier I am. Most people who think of character don't know how to flatter them.

"Okay, this king likes people with a strong character like you!" I turned around and said, "Come on, set a table for this king!"

Even if Li Ke went to my dinner party, he didn't seem condescending. Although he always answered my questions, he was neither humble nor overbearing. In the end, I had someone pack up the dishes that I couldn't eat and bring them back to him, and he thanked me.Looking at his slender back, I just felt that even Ben Wang couldn't show his ease and ease with those few boxes of vegetables.

When I came back after eating, I saw Yuan Bao stretched his face, thinking that I was unhappy after spending too much in the past few days, so I couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said, "I've eaten too much today, so I can save this supper."

Yuan Bao said lightly: "Hu Shiwei is back!"
