Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Qingqing...

I didn't expect her to call herself so affectionately.

Lin Shurong's breathing was slightly stagnant, and his fingertips were instantly clenched under his sleeves.There were some waves in the originally calm eyes, and he fixedly looked at the bold little princess, and for the first time lost his smile in front of the other party.

Like a fox stalking its prey.

The two sides looked at each other for a long while, until seeing Mingtan so frightened and involuntarily wanting to back away, Lin Shurong just looked away, lowered his voice, and gave a standard answer without leaking anything.

"Your Highness is so smart and beautiful, how can anyone not like you?"

"..."

Ming Tan felt that he had just committed a mass death in a muffled voice.

She peeked at the other person who seemed to have returned to normal expression, coughed dryly, let go of the fingertips that were holding Lin Shurong's skirt, and while patting the folds of Lin Shurong intimately, rolled her eyes and asked unwillingly: "But I remember, When we first met, you didn't seem to like me very much, did you?"

"Oh? Is it?"

Lin Shurong lowered her eyes, smiled, and said slowly: "How can I remember... At that time, it seems that His Highness didn't like me even more?"

"Cough," Ming Tan raised his hand, cleared his throat pretendingly, and said righteously, "This is human nature! — Just like no one likes Mr. Qin, I certainly don't like to be forced to How old-fashioned people are to learn!"

Hearing her new title of "little old-fashioned", Lin Shurong raised his eyebrows, his expression became displeased, he narrowed his eyes, and asked her threateningly: "Your Highness, tell me in detail, what exactly am I?" Is it because you are so rigid that you hate it so much?"

"……I will not tell you!"

Having been together day and night for many days, Ming Tan can be said to know Lin Shurong very well. He only needs one expression to know whether the other party is happy or angry.

Seeing that his indiscriminate words made the other party a little upset, Ming Tan could only quickly change the subject, stuffed the phoenix boat lantern next to him into his hand, and shouted to cover it up: "Okay, okay! That's it, let's stop this topic, let's put the lights on!"

After shouting, she didn't care about Lin Shurong's reaction, turned around and ran to the river.

Lin Shurong glanced at the other party, at least he didn't hold on anymore, but looked down at the hemp paper in his hand.

——Believers first wish that their names will be included in the list; second, that their family members be in good health;

She sighed softly, carefully folded the note, put it in the lamp, and slowly walked to Ming Tan's side with it.

"You haven't turned on the lights yet?"

Ming Tan squatted by the river, quickly raised his head to look at the other party, and muttered angrily, "I'm waiting for you."

Although her volume was very low, Lin Shurong could still hear her clearly.The latter's mood suddenly became brighter, and he finally bent his lips to show a smile, lifted his skirt, and squatted down.He came forward, flicked the fire folder in his hand, and handed it to Ming Tan.

"Okay, you order first."

Ming Tan took it without saying a word, and put the flame on the wick of the candle, the orange light illuminated the small square, and then she carefully covered it with a lampshade to protect it from being blown by the night light. off.

"I hope it's really worth your two silver coins." Ming Tan muttered unhappily.

Lin Shurong gave a low laugh, and didn't answer, but stretched out his hands together with the other party, pushed the two river lanterns, one dragon and one phoenix, onto the water, quietly watching the two lights drifting away downstream.

Together they light up the dark river.

But at this moment, just when Lin Shurong was looking at the two river lanterns and was slightly lost in thought, an almost inaudible voice came from beside him - awkward, like the claws of a kitten, gently It touched her heart lightly.

"Well, actually..."

Ming Tan folded his arms around his knees, turned his head, and grimaced at Lin Shurong reluctantly.

"I still don't hate you very much. Remember it."

I don't know if the river lantern played a role, but not long after Mingtan returned to the palace, good news spread repeatedly from Yuanzhou.

First, the rain fell from the sky, and then the seedlings broke through the ground. Coupled with the concerted efforts of all walks of life, the rain fell diligently, and finally survived this rare natural disaster and severe drought in decades.

It's really getting smoother.

In the upper study room, Mingxuan and Mingxiao had suffered so much from Mingtan one after another, and for a moment, they were afraid, but they didn't dare to continue to strike.

In addition, Ming Yao intends to stop it, and Mr. Qin also pays more attention to discipline, so although the two sides still don't want to see each other, no fierce conflict broke out anyway.

The third princess, Mingzhao and Mingtan are more familiar, they often wander around the palace together, they can be regarded as a pair of sisters who know everything, and occasionally they can say something from the bottom of their hearts.

For example, a few days ago, when talking about age, Ming Zhao held Ming Tan's hands, and told the latter in a stumbling manner: Her mother, Concubine Ying, is so busy these days, she seems to be looking after her marriage; but she feels that she is still young, There are still many things that I haven't learned and seen, and I don't want to marry early...

But in this era, even ordinary people have to pay attention to "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker", let alone the princess in the palace?

Ming Tan couldn't help with this, so he had to say a few empty words to comfort Ming Zhao, such as "There are still a few years before you reach Jiji, sister Zhao Zhao, don't worry", but it obviously had little effect.

Too.In the previous life, girls of this age were still solving quadratic equations in one variable, and at most fell in love, how could they have such troubles about getting married?

Ming Tan thought silently.

Fortunately, she is farther away from this kind of trouble, so she doesn't have to rush to think about it...

The days passed so plainly and quickly.

Lin Shurong didn't know where her brain was broken, but she came up with a new trick to torment Ming Tan——she spent several days forgetting to eat and sleep, read a lot of books, and specially gave the latter a set of scriptures, policy questionnaires, test meanings, test current affairs policies, etc. A set of exercises with other types of questions, euphemistically called "Corporation Simulation Book", is dedicated to adding bricks and tiles to the already heavy schoolwork of the nine princesses.

Ming Tan suffers unspeakably from doing the questions every day, and deeply feels the fear of being dominated by homework during the winter and summer vacations.

After 49 sleepless nights, with two dark circles under her eyes, she tried to go to the emperor to complain, but the latter smiled and perfunctory said, "When the Chinese New Year comes, I will definitely let the Lin family girl give you a good holiday." "After that, he flickered back to Kunning Palace as if practicing Tai Chi.

Ming Tan: "..."

Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up

In this way, accompanied by countless books and inscriptions, the weather gradually turned cold, and the first snowflakes finally fell slowly from the sky.

It's winter.

The chief executive of Sheng'an personally delivered the new winter clothes made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saying that the emperor personally ordered them, and added two more fox fur robes to the nine princesses.Ming Tan really likes the bright red one, even in the palace, he always loves to wrap it up, and he feels that the color is kind, like the Dior999 in his previous life.

It can be regarded as a new concept of homesickness.

One day, when he went to the study to take a rest, Ming Tan, dressed in red, was writing furiously on the imitation book of government affairs in the room, when he suddenly heard three taps on the door.

"Princess! Good news!" Mallow's joyful voice sounded, and said eagerly, "His Royal Highness the Third Prince is coming back!"

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and the ink from the tip of the pen in his hand dripped onto the book with a "pop", and scattered round flowers bloomed.

But right now, she didn't have the heart to think about whether this would be considered a stain on Juanmian. Instead, she opened the door and rushed out of the hall, asking repeatedly: "Is it the third brother? Is the third brother finally coming back?"

"It's His Royal Highness Ming Jing!" Mallow was rarely so happy, "Princess, go to the front hall, I heard that the third highness has just entered the capital, and will return to the palace soon!"

Ming Tan was so excited that he didn't care about his homework. He rushed to the main hall of Kunning Palace with mallow, threw himself into the empress's arms, raised his head and said happily: "The queen! The third brother is coming back!"

The queen was also full of smiles, patted her on the head, and said softly: "Yes, after he pays his respects to His Majesty, he will be able to come back to see Tan'er."

Third Prince Ming Jing suffers from leg disease and has been treated in Baicao Valley for a long time.This sudden return to the palace for the new year was really surprising, even the emperor was so happy that he left the court early in order to see his son as soon as possible.

Ming Tan is also full of joy.

Although after she transmigrated, she never saw this dear third elder brother with her own eyes...but in the depths of Xiao Mingtan's memory, this elder brother who had been ill for a long time was the one who cared the most for her in the huge deep palace. one of the people.

She misses him too.

……

I don't know how long I waited, but after Du Ye led someone to replace the third pot of silver charcoal, which made the main hall feel warm, a loud notification finally came from outside.

"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived—"

The Empress almost shed tears, and walked out quickly with Ming Tan, only to see a slender young man walking slowly towards this side.He has a gentle expression, handsome eyebrows and eyes, even if he hesitates a little when walking, he looks no different from a normal person.

"Third Brother!"

Ming Tan screamed excitedly, rushed down the stairs, but stopped before throwing himself into the opponent's arms, raised his head and was overjoyed, "Your leg is healed!"

Ming Jing smiled slightly, and his expression was a little moved. He stretched out his hand to hold his sister in front of him, carefully looked at Ming Tan's appearance, and said with emotion: "Tan'er has grown up, and she has become more beautiful than before."

Hearing these words, Ming Tan felt a sore nose for no reason.

Her eyes were slightly red, she tightly clutched Ming Jing's cuffs, her throat choked up for a moment, before she said: "Third brother has been away from the palace for so many years, of course Tan'er will grow up."

Hearing that her voice was crying, Ming Jing immediately became flustered, quickly reached out to wipe Ming Tan's tears, and coaxed softly: "Okay, don't cry anymore, it's because the third brother can't speak, and he will provoke you as soon as he comes. Tan'er is unhappy...Third brother apologizes to you, okay?"

"Third brother is right," Ming Tan pursed his lips, bit his lower lip, and urged while shaking his head, "It's cold outside, come in quickly, the queen mother is also anxious to see third brother."

Ming Jing looked at his younger sister, and couldn't help but soften his heart.

He raised his head and saw the empress who was standing at the gate of the palace. He immediately bowed and gave each other a deep bow, and sighed: "My unfilial son, Ming Jing, made my mother wait for a long time!"

The queen took out her handkerchief to soak her tears, and walked down the long steps a few steps, to greet the two brothers and sisters, choked up slightly, and said, "Good boy, just come back, don't stay outside with your sister, hurry into the palace... ..."

So, together with Ming Tan, she supported Ming Jing with her own hands, and walked slowly back to the main hall with the latter.

Du Ye and Mallow were very clever, they prepared hot tea early, and while serving the three of them to sit down, they also took a blanket from the hall and spread it on Ming Jing's lap properly.

"This……"

The queen saw Ming Jing's hesitation, waved her hands, and said with a smile: "There is no one else here, so why bother with those rules? Your legs are just right, and the capital city is not warmer than Baicao Valley, but you must not ignore it."

Ming Tan also nodded vigorously beside him, and chimed in: "That's right, the snow just fell the day before yesterday, and it's cold right now, so how can I be so cold?"

Hearing both of them say this, Ming Jing could only smile helplessly, nodded and said: "Thank you Empress Mother and Tan'er for your concern."

"My family, why should you be so polite?" The queen said angrily, then looked at Ming Jing's slightly pale complexion, and sighed spontaneously, "Did Jing'er suffer a lot all these years?"

At that time, when Baicaogu offered to treat the patient, it only said that it would do its best, but it did not guarantee that Mingjing would be cured; but now, the latter has finally got rid of the wheelchair and can stand and walk normally. No matter how you think about it, it is a difficult period of treatment. process.

"It's all over." Ming Jing wrote lightly, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

He turned his head to look at the tearful Ming Tan, as if he suddenly remembered something, frowned immediately, and said solemnly: "I heard from my father that Tan'er was poisoned in the spring? What's the matter, did you hurt yourself?"

Ming Tan was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "It was done by a court lady... The imperial father ordered the court to see it, and often sent the imperial physician over for a period of time, and they all said that there was no sequelae left."

"The servants in the palace are really daring!" Ming Jing's complexion was gloomy, but he also knew that this matter would be difficult to pursue, so he could only sigh, "It's hard for Tan'er to suffer like this..."

Ming Tan hurriedly said: "Third Brother, don't worry about it, Tan'er is fine."

Unexpectedly, the latter glanced at her, but he was not at ease, but said: "It just so happens that I brought a lot of medicinal materials from Baicao Valley this time, which are just enough for the Queen Mother and Tan'er to take care of their bodies - you are old, remember to drink it obediently." Don’t pour out the medicine secretly like when you were a child, do you understand?”

"..." Ming Tan curled his lips and said, "Yes, Tan'er understands."

The queen sat aside and watched the two brothers and sisters come and go, she couldn't help covering her lips and smiling, and asked warmly: "Your father just saw you, what did you say to you?"

Ming Jing nodded, as if he had been waiting for this question for a long time, and immediately replied: "Father ordered my son to join the household department, and he will take office in three days."

"Department of household?" The queen was very surprised, "I thought that His Majesty would let you go to the Ministry of Rites or the Ministry of Industry to practice first..."

"My son is also very surprised." Ming Jing hesitated for a moment, then frowned suggestively, "Probably, that person can't sit still..."

The queen frowned and sighed slowly.

Because Ming Tan was young, the mother and son didn't say it clearly, but in fact the latter knew this riddle well.

Among the household department, if anyone is said to be a thorn in the emperor's heart, it must be Zhu Zhishen, the Shangshu...

Ming Tan lowered his eyes.

Now that word has spread from the previous court that he intends to deal with this Lord Shangshu—then it seems like she should make a move on the move she buried in the harem.

"...Tan'er? Tan'er?"

Ming Tan suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Ming Jing blankly, "Ah? What did the third brother say?"

"I said," Mingjing said with a helpless smile, "Wait for the mallow to cook the medicine in a while, and I will watch you drink it myself, and I must not let you waste the good stuff."

"Alas--"

Ming Tan, who was planning to drink half of the drink, frowned and complained: "How can the third brother distrust Tan'er so much!"

"Tan'er's reputation in taking medicine..." Ming Jing smiled slightly, and said softly, "As early as when you were three or four years old, there was not even a single bit left."

Ming Tan: "..."
