01. Hands-on

According to common sense, the elder of the family should be the most favored, but our family is not.When my mother gave birth to me, she had a dystocia and almost lost her life. Although she survived, she was always sick, so my father didn't like me very much.Eldest brother Yan Shengye was fond of wine, and would cause trouble whenever he got drunk, and his father also hated his elder brother.Only the second elder brother, Yan Wenjia, is the one that my father likes the most. The second elder brother is born the most like my father, and he can read well. This is what my father likes the most.It's just that the second elder brother is very lustful and lustful, and even has evil intentions towards my younger brother, but my father just turns a blind eye to it.

Everyone in my family said that I looked like a mother, and I had a lovely body. Perhaps God made a mistake in a moment of confusion, and turned a beautiful girl into a man.I have always scoffed at such claims.

I am naturally fond of martial arts and do not like reading, and I doze off when I pick up a book. When I was 3 years old, I started to secretly learn some boxing from the guards at home. When I was 6 years old, my mother sent me to a private school. On the first day of school, I fought with a few urchins in the clan. My father was so angry that I went home Come and have a good beating.But I can't blame me for this fight, who made them make fun of me in every possible way!

From then on, when my father saw that I didn't like reading but only loved martial arts, he hated me even more.In my father's heart, the only way for a man is to be in the imperial court after reading poetry and books.

My eldest brother took good care of me, probably because my father didn't like him either, so he went against my father and invited Master Yuan Tianyou to teach me martial arts when I was 7 years old.This made me very happy, so I made a wish to my elder brother at that time, if anyone who fights in the future, please come to me.It wasn't until I got older that I realized that the reason why my elder brother hired me a martial artist was to let me help him fight.

The weather this year is a bit weird. It has been raining continuously for a month since September.Mother was originally weak, but because of this ghost day, she suffered from some wind and cold, and fell ill again.He invited several doctors to come and toss for a month, but his mother did not see him well, so my father became anxious and asked for medical advice everywhere.

When I got up early this morning, I heard from my maid Liu Er that my uncle Yan Xinglang recommended a famous doctor named Meng Zi to see my mother, and he will come in the afternoon.But yesterday when King Xiaoling came back from his inspection, father asked me to go to Prince Xiaoling's mansion early this morning to say hello after he got the letter.I had to go even if I didn't want to, or I would be beaten again.

King Xiaoling and our family can barely be said to have some friendship this time.When my mother was weak after giving birth to me, he sent a doctor in the mansion to take care of my mother. He gave me the name "Jingqi".Because my father doesn't like me and wants to curry favor with King Xiaoling, he has long wanted to give me to King Xiaoling as his male favourite.But I don't know whether it's the mother who is unwilling or the king of Xiaoling didn't agree, so this matter is shelved.

In fact, there is also this reason why I practice martial arts desperately. I am afraid that when my father really gives me away, I will have to run out by my own ability.

"Third Master, Master told you to go to the study."

Hearing this, I stopped my moves and handed the Yanling knife in my hand to Hong'er. Hong'er hurriedly took the knife and put on a sweat towel. I took it and wiped off my sweat. When I turned around, I saw Liu'er standing on the porch with a bowl of tea .

"Got it, let's go." I replied reluctantly.Over there Liu Er came over with tea to quench my thirst, I took a sip and strode back to the house.The little girls in the room waited for me to change into formal clothes, and then went to Dad's study.

When I first walked into the hallway, I saw the second elder brother coming from the opposite side waving a white paper fan. When he saw me, he immediately smiled and greeted me, "Isn't this the third brother? Where are you going?" He reached out to touch my face.I frowned, took a step back and said, "Father told me to go to the study."

"Oh──I see, King Xiaoling returned to Beijing yesterday, I think I urged you to invite An Na? Hehehe..." The second brother shook his head and smiled, and said: "You too, sooner or later you have to be sent by daddy If you are a stranger, why not let your second brother and me try it first, it will save you a lot of money for outsiders, right?"

What the second brother said hurt the scar in my heart, I suddenly felt angry and charged, and shouted: "Nonsense!" Raising my hand was a punch.

With a muffled sound of "bang", he punched the second elder brother in the face, and the second elder brother fell to the ground in embarrassment with a cry of pain, then pointed at me and cursed: "Well, you brat, how dare you do anything?" ? Look at Daddy going to beat you!" After saying that, he got up, picked up his fan, covered his face and ran away in a hurry.

Hong'er, who was hiding behind the door, saw his second brother running away, hurried to catch up and said, "Third Master, why are you doing it again, Second Master is just trying to take advantage of you, why don't you just hold back and go over?" If the master knows this, won’t he beat you again.”

"Hmph! Just hit! If you kill me, I'll be clean!" I angrily spat in the direction my second brother was running away from. Ignoring Hong'er's next words of persuasion, I turned my head and walked towards the study.

02. A scolding meal

When I arrived at the door of the study, my father's attendants went in to report, and then came out to say that my father let me in.I stepped into the door with my clothes on, and saw my father sitting behind the desk reading a book.I bowed my head respectfully and said in a low voice, "Father, you are looking for me."

"Yeah." Dad hummed, and asked without raising his head, "What were you making a fuss about in the yard just now?"

I hesitated for a moment, lowered my head a little more, and replied: "I met my second brother in the hallway, he said that my father was going to give me away, and I quarreled with my second brother when I got annoyed."

"Really? Did you do it?"

"..." I gritted my teeth and didn't respond.

Seeing that I was silent, my father guessed that I must have moved my hand, so he threw the book on the table and scolded: "Hmph! You bastard! If you don't study hard all day, you will know how to wield knives and guns." You dare to beat your elder brother at such a young age, you are truly lawless! How could I have caused such a disaster like you! Kneel down!"

Although I was not convinced in my heart, it was useless to say anything at a time like this, so I had to kneel down obediently.Over there, my father picked up the bamboo whip and wanted to beat me. Aunt Lin who was waiting on the side hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "My lord, Jing Qi has to go to pay my respects to the lord. If it is broken, how can I explain it?"

"Hmph! Beast!" Father stopped after hearing Aunt Lin's words, but still cursed angrily: "Sooner or later, I will give you away to someone, so that the family can calm down! Hmph!"

I listened with my head down, feeling sore and miserable.This is the first time that my father said directly in front of me that he wanted to give me away.I know what father means, because the second elder brother has always been thinking about me, he is afraid that there will be scandals in the family, so he wants to send me to King Xiaoling.One is that King Xiaoling has always cared about me, and the other is that he also wants to take this opportunity to establish a relationship with King Xiaoling and hug this shade tree.

Father was supported by Aunt Lin back to the case and sat down, staring at me and panting.At this time, a servant rushed over and stood at the door, bowing and replying: "Master, the horse is ready."

After hearing this, my father scolded: "Get out! It's better to go and don't come back!" Aunt Lin over there persuaded my father a few more words, and then hurried over to help me up and said: "Hurry up, I'll wait for you here Did dad scold you?"

I rolled my eyes and glanced at Dad, followed by a sound and exited the study.Just turned around and didn't take two steps, I heard my father scolding in the room: "Hmph, you'd better go to greet the prince honestly, if you let me know that you dare to make fun of me, come back carefully and I will peel your skin !” After that, there was another burst of cursing.

I raised my head to look at the gloomy sky, and my heart seemed to be blocked with a hundred or so yellow lotuses, flooding out with bitter water.Occasionally, a swarthy swallow passed by the porch, and finally settled in the nest under the eaves.The young swallows inside stretched their necks and opened their mouths to grab food, and the mother swallows fed them one by one and flew away again.I can't help but feel a sour taste in my nose.Birds and beasts even know how to love their own children, why was I born in such a prosperous nest.The young swallows inside stretched their necks and opened their mouths to grab food.

A wealthy family that is corrupt inside?

Although my mother loves me, she has more than enough heart but not enough energy.In the past ten years or so, I have come here almost amidst the sound of beating and scolding by my father.That's not counting, but secretly guard against the second brother.If it weren't for the elder brother who protected me everywhere and reminded me, I might have been tricked by the second elder brother long ago.Because of this, my father also reprimanded my second brother several times, but my second brother just refused to give up.Now that the three of us are getting older, and my martial arts are getting better and better, my father is afraid that the second brother can't help but piss me off, and I will beat the second brother to death without knowing how serious it is, so I start thinking about it. Push me to King Xiaoling, so that the source of my right and wrong will stay away from the Yan family, and let the second brother stop that crooked thinking.

"Third Master, let's go quickly, the master will lose his temper in a while." When I was fascinated by looking at the bird's nest under the eaves, Hong'er reminded me in a low voice.I looked back at the study room, then strode towards the gate of the mansion.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, two horses have been prepared in front of the gate.Hong'er and I got on the horse and rode to Prince Xiaoling's mansion.Walking on the road, Hong'er whispered to me at the side, let me follow my father's wishes more, avoid my second brother more, and stop confronting my second brother.When the second brother gets married next year, he won't continue to pester me anymore.I just listened absent-mindedly, disapproving in my heart.Which of the girls in the second brother's room has not been touched by him?Which of the more handsome servants in the mansion could escape his eyes?Even Hong'er and Liu'er, who were serving by my side, would have been infected by him long ago if I hadn't been protecting them.

03. Xiaoling Palace

While speaking, I arrived in front of the gate of Prince Xiaoling's Mansion. The gatekeeper saw me, and hurriedly stepped forward, took the rein of the horse and greeted him with a smile, "Hey, isn't this the Third Lord Qi from Changguo Mansion? The prince just returned to the mansion yesterday. come early this morning
