Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Benevolence.

The thought of benevolence advocated by Confucianism has a wide range of meanings, including benevolence, benevolence, benevolence, etc., but its core meaning has always been "be kind to others".

The emperor is right, Ming Tan really doesn't understand "benevolence".

In her previous life, her mother died early, and her father was full of bad habits, drinking and gambling, heavily in debt, and abused Ming Tan repeatedly when things went wrong.beat.If it weren't for the latter's strong personality, who dared to pick up a knife and fight him desperately, he would have been beaten badly, and his father would sell him to human traffickers for money.

Ming Tan knew that he was a little sick.

She has a violent temper and is often reckless in her actions. Although this way of dealing with things is happy and can relieve hatred for a while, it is also the most likely to leave future troubles.

Regardless of the other things, let's just talk about the fact that she kicked Ming Xiao into the grass last time—if the emperor hadn't deliberately shown favoritism, and Concubine Yi was willing to come to the rescue, Ming Tan's disregard of brotherhood and respect for the emperor's sister Disrespectful behavior is enough to make her suffer a lot.

If Concubine Ning seized the opportunity again and used the topic to make a play, the empress would be harmed if she failed to keep it...

What Lin Shurong taught was right before, that taking action is always the next best thing to do.

But although Mingtan understands this truth in his heart, it is always difficult to restrain the rising anger when he acts.

She is brave and ruthless, impulsive and irritable, and her title is clearly called "Princess Yonghui", but she has never been a kind person.

— But if it goes on like this, is it really good?

"..."

The emperor clicked to stop, and saw his daughter bowed her head in deep thought, as if she had realized something, so she stopped talking.

He turned around, and based on the answer papers and draws of the two big exams this time, he ordered Ming Yao as No. 1 and Ming Zhao as No. 2, while Ming Xuan, Ming Xiao and Ming Tan had no test papers. The three of them were treated equally and ranked as the bottom one.

Holding her breath, Ming Xiao turned her head and gave Ming Tan a hard look.

The latter had his arms folded, his face was full of indifference to fame and fortune, and he even had the heart to show his teeth and smiled at Ming Xiao, who immediately turned him on his back in anger.

However, even though these three are the last ones, anyone with a discerning eye can see it—if the papers are not destroyed, and if the emperor only tests Mingtan’s memorization like other people—then she will definitely not How much worse than Ming Yao.

What's more... the emperor doesn't test her like others, which is enough to prove that the nine princesses are smart and beautiful, and won the emperor's heart.

Thinking of this, Ming Yao lowered the corners of his lips that were slightly raised because he was accused of being the first name, and his eyes gradually darkened.

He, Nine Emperor Sister, is really not a simple character.

However, no matter whether others are secretly jealous or not, Ming Tan himself firmly regards Fu as worthless.

Because - it doesn't matter how many places you get in the exam!The important thing is that she finally finished the exam and can take a vacation!

You know, after taking the exam in the study room, there will be a full three days of rest!It's already a small holiday in this world!

When Ming Tan was scratching the small abacus in his heart, thinking about how to go to the Lin family to eat, drink and have fun, the emperor raised his hand and stroked his palm like a prophet, and said with a smile: "Since you have worked hard on your studies, everyone If there is something outstanding, then of course I will not be stingy—but what do you want? But let’s just say, Father will definitely be satisfied!”

This was a joy from heaven, and even Ming Yao couldn't help but shine.

In the past, after the big exam, apart from Mr. Qin being rewarded, Your Highnesses have always only received verbal praise; but never thought, this time is different, the emperor actually gave them a chance to ask for rewards!

However, even if the emperor promised that "it will be satisfied", these highnesses are all people who know how to measure, and they will definitely not make some untimely demands.

Several people looked at each other, and then Ming Yao, who had just been pointed out as the first name, took the lead, cupped his hands and said: "I have been fascinated by the "Feng Wu Zhi" in the imperial study room for a long time, and I hope my father will make it come true." !"

"Feng Wu Zhi" is a famous work introducing the geography of mountains and rivers in the Tiancheng Dynasty, with a total of 42 volumes, and it is also considered popular in the capital recently.

Asking for books is such a trivial matter, the emperor nodded without much hesitation, waved his hand and said, "Tomorrow I will ask Sheng An to take someone and send them to Guangyang Palace for you."

Guangyang Palace is the palace where Concubine Wan lived.

After Ming Yao finished asking for the reward, Ming Xiao followed closely and raised his voice, impatiently asking for a few new snow satins from the Ministry of Internal Affairs; Ming Xuan thought for a moment, and said that he wanted to go to the racecourse to pick a pony for practicing riding and shooting. , This request was also nodded by the emperor.

After the brothers and sisters finished talking one by one, the emperor turned his head, looked at the third princess who had been hesitating all this time, and said with a smile, "Why, haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"No, no," Mingzhao hesitated for a moment, finally mustered up the courage, and whispered, "I want to ask for a small kitchen for my concubine's Yaohuaxuan."

The emperor was taken aback, and raised his eyebrows, "This small kitchen... is not something that every palace wants to have."

The small kitchen is extravagant and labor-intensive. Now in the harem, only the Queen's Kunning Palace and Concubine Wan's Guangyang Palace are allowed to open small kitchens. All other concubines must receive meals from the imperial dining room.

"My son knows," Mingzhao lowered his voice even more, and said timidly, "but mother concubine...she hasn't eaten enough for a long time..."

Mingzhao's mother concubine Ying nobleman has not been favored for a long time, and her rank is also low. In addition, she has a beautiful face and never flatters others, so she has always been very unpopular in the palace.

In addition, she lives in the remote Yaohuaxuan, so it is convenient for someone to play tricks behind her back and deliberately withhold the meals and moon silver in the nobleman's palace.

After figuring out the key points, and looking at the third daughter who dared not look up in front of him for a long time, the emperor was silent for a moment, sighed slightly, and finally nodded in agreement: "Forget it, I will send someone to Yaohuaxuan tomorrow to open the door for you. A small kitchen should be regarded as a reward for the three princesses in today's big exam."

Ming Zhao was stunned for a moment, with surprise on his face, he hurriedly said: "Thank you, Father, Emperor Long!"

After satisfying the requirements of the first four people, the emperor turned his head, and finally turned to Ming Tan, who had been staring at him with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "Have you thought about it a long time ago?"

"I've already thought about it!"

Ming Tan nodded briskly, his eyes were dark and bright, "Longlin wants to ask Father for the favor of going out of the palace, and visit Miss Lin's house as a guest!"

He really didn't expect that she would make such a request, and the emperor was stunned for a while.

He pondered for a while, worried about Ming Tan's safety, and planned to refuse on the spot; but when he glanced down, he could see his favorite daughter looking over eagerly, and he couldn't bear to teach him a lesson...

"You girl," the emperor said helplessly, "you just want to have fun all day long, so don't you want to learn from Yin Gong who watches fish?"

The allusion "Yin Gong Guan Yu" comes from "Zuo Zhuan".It is said that in spring, Lu Yingong wanted to go to Tangyi to watch fishing, but his uncle Zang Xibo tried his best to dissuade him, thinking that every move of the monarch was related to the country, and leisure and pleasure should not be regarded as a small festival. *

The emperor compared Ming Tan to Yin Gong to ridicule her at the moment, naturally he was laughing at the latter's behavior of wanting to run out to play as soon as he rested.

Ming Tan has studied "Spring and Autumn" for so long, of course he knows this story.She pouted, stared at the emperor with some displeasure, and pretended to be angry: "Father is really annoying, how can you turn a corner and scold people!"

You know, according to the records, Lu Yingong did not heed Zang Xibo's advice, but still insisted on going to Tangyi, and was severely connoted by the historian as "not understanding etiquette".

but……

Ming Tan was thinking secretly: the emperor compared her with a king of a country like Lu Yingong, it seemed a bit... Subtly inappropriate?

On this side, seeing Mingtan's profound knowledge, he immediately understood what he meant, the emperor couldn't help but smiled in satisfaction, and stopped embarrassing her, and simply said happily: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. As long as you bring enough People will follow, and the rest will be arranged by my father, you can go if you want!"

As soon as the emperor agreed, Ming Tan no longer cared about those random thoughts, and hurriedly cheered happily: "I know that the emperor is the best!"

The emperor patted her on the head lovingly.

Watching the interaction between the father and daughter, Ming Yao silently lowered his eyes, and quietly clenched his hands in his sleeves into fists.

It seems that it is necessary to have a special discussion with the concubine mother.

Guangyang Palace.

Concubine Wan, Shen Ruo, sat upright and dignified at the table, holding a pair of scissors, and with a "click", cut off a withered crabapple flower from the branch.

"You mean... Your Majesty seems to value the Ninth Princess Mingtan more than expected?"

"Yes, concubine mother."

Opposite Concubine Wan, the Fifth Prince Ming Yao sat upright, with his back straight, and he said meticulously: "Father not only laughs at Yan Yan with Ming Tan, but even twitches her back, which is completely different from others..."

Then, he told Concubine Wan the questions and answers of the emperor and Ming Tan, and the fact that the latter would leave the palace and go to the prime minister's mansion.

Shen Ruofu's movements of Xiuhua also stopped.

"Lin Mansion..."

She put the scissors aside, and immediately a court lady with a wink stepped forward to take them away.The fingertips wearing the long golden pendant tapped the table regularly. After a long time of contemplation, Concubine Wan raised her eyes and looked at Ming Yao who didn't even dare to breathe, and said lightly: "In your opinion, What kind of person is this nine princesses?"

"The personality is very impulsive and irritable, but the talent is extremely intelligent." Ming Yao hesitated, "Although the nine princesses are young, their brains are too smart. Even the most difficult "Spring and Autumn" can be treated with The emperor's answers are fluent..." He paused, and admitted with some unwillingness, "In short, in terms of reading, my son is definitely far behind Mingtan."

"Then, how is she compared to your brother?"

Ming Yao was stunned, and hurriedly said: "Brother is a genius in the sky, how can the nine princesses match?"

"Oh," Concubine Wan smiled lightly, and glanced at him, "Didn't my concubine teach you? When fighting with others, don't underestimate the enemy, and also don't think too strongly of yourself... Could it be that Yao'er has Did you forget to clean it up?"

Ming Yao trembled violently, pursed his lips and changed his words: "...if my elder brother is the same age as her, I'm afraid he will be far inferior to the latter."

Concubine Wan nodded, very satisfied with the sensibleness of her second son.

"Bengong originally thought that the Ninth Princess was just a spoiled doll, but now it seems that she has been mistaken." She narrowed her eyes slightly and said slowly, "No wonder Zhu Xisheng insisted on Seeing Princess Nine as a thorn in my side... I thought she just couldn't get used to the one from Kunning Palace, but now that I think about it, she's quite discerning."

Zhu Xisheng is the real name of Concubine Ning.

Ming Yao frowned, and asked tentatively: "Then, concubine mother, what is your plan...?"

"..."

Concubine Wan didn't answer immediately.

Her eldest son, the second prince Minghui, is highly regarded by His Majesty, and he is currently on business in Qianzhou; judging from the letters sent back recently, everything is going well, and when he returns to the capital after his business is over, he will definitely be punished. The emperor gave him a big reward.

This is definitely not a good time to make trouble.

In the harem, even though the emperor was not very close to the concubines, he still gave the high-ranking concubines enough respect.He has never favored anyone, even his first wife, Gu Ying, who he personally proposed to marry. The emperor and empress have supported and respected each other for many years.

As for the Nine Princesses Ming Tan who has been favored all the way since birth and is beginning to show her talents...

Most of the princesses in the palace were poor, some died young, some died of illness, and now there are only the eldest princess who is married, the third princess who is not favored, the fourth princess who is spoiled by Concubine Ning, the seventh princess who is secretive, and Ming Tan is the youngest of the nine princesses.

If I attack her again, I'm afraid it will attract people's attention, but the gain outweighs the loss...

Concubine Wan frowned and pondered for a while.

After a long time, her expression gradually relaxed, she stretched out her hand to fiddle with the crabapple branches in the bottle, and asked softly, "What plan?"

Ming Yao was startled, but before he could speak, he saw his mother and concubine smiling slightly at him, and continued in a flat tone: "Princess Ninth Princess Bingxue is smart, and the emperor likes it. This is a good thing. Yao'er should also get along well with her. Take care, you must not be domineering and domineering like your Fourth Emperor Brother and Fourth Emperor Sister, do you understand?"

"...Yes," Ming Yao was silent for a while, then bowed his head and replied, "I would like to follow the teachings of my mother and concubine."
