Dodder Pampering Handbook

"He is not a child of the Zhao family at all, his mother is a skilled girl by the Qinhuai River!"

Zhao Chanzhen murmured, repeating these words over and over again in the empty bedroom.

Slowly, those trivial clues emerged in his mind.

For example, the empress dowager, according to the rules, he should call Mrs. Zhao the emperor's grandma.Although he was taken care of by Grandma Huang for a period of time when he was young, people in the temple said that Grandma Huang returned to the palace when he was three years old.

He didn't know at that time that he was the exiled prince of the former emperor.Zhao Chanzhen only remembers that when he was a child, he had two hands that hugged him warmly and distantly, and fed him rice cereal when he had a fever.

Zhao Chan really doesn't remember Zhao Shi's face. When he grew up, he heard people say it, and he also wondered why he felt that a person who took care of him would be alienated.

Until he was nine years old and was admitted to the palace.The abbot told him that after entering the palace, someone would protect him, because Mrs. Zhao is the current Empress Dowager, and her son is King Yong'an who holds a heavy army.

The abbot hesitated to speak, and before he had time to give any instructions, the person who came to invite Zhao Chanzhen into the palace couldn't wait to pull him, ignored his cries, put him on horseback, and brought him into the palace.

"Qingzhu! Qingzhu! I don't want to go!" Zhao Chanzhen cried out, stretching his hand towards the direction of the temple, but he couldn't call out that mother at the last moment.When he was young, he was ignorant, and heard people gossip behind his back, saying that Qing Zhu was his mother, so he went to Qing Zhu full of joy and called him his mother.

Qing Zhu had a cold face, and didn't answer him, so he thought it was a tacit consent, he was really stupid, and followed Qing Zhu all day, Qing Zhu recited scriptures, and he recited scriptures, Qing Zhu carried water, and he followed Qing Zhu to carry water.

One mouthful and one "mother", the call is very kind.

Until one day, on the way to carry water, Qingzhu suddenly lost his temper with him: "Stop calling me mother! I'm not your mother!"

He was terrified and wiped tears on the way back.

Zhao Chanzhen once raised a little rabbit. After a rain, there was a single rabbit in the bamboo forest, a newborn cub.He lived alone behind the temple, so he raised a rabbit and fed the porridge he drank to the rabbit ignorantly.

Within two days, the rabbit died.He cried very sadly, and found a small stick, dug a hole in the bamboo forest, and put the rabbit in it.

There are often beggars in the temple who come to beg, but the people in the temple don’t drive them away, so they run all over the mountain. That time, for some reason, they bypassed the temple, arrived at Zhao Chanzhen’s place, and dug out the rabbit he had buried. .

Peeled and cramped in front of him, roasted and ate.

He was so frightened that he cried and vomited all the time, and that night he had a high fever.

The abbot felt sorry for him, so he specially asked Qing Zhu to take care of him.Qingzhu refused, Zhao Chanzhen was in a daze with a fever, and heard Qingzhu crying outside the door and said to the abbot: "He is not my son, why should I suffer injustice?"

Yes, everyone in the temple is laughing at her.Even though she burned incense and worshiped the Buddha all day long and never stopped chanting scriptures, people in the temple said that she was restless.

After tasting the taste of a man, can the heart still calm down?

The nuns in the temple are not all monks since childhood.Most of them are women who fled the disaster. They lost their men and children and were taken in by the temple.Apart from chanting scriptures and growing vegetables, they were discussing the past.

Every time Zhao Chanzhen went to look for Qing Zhu from the backyard, he could hear their jokes, they said, come to see your mother?Hurry up, your mother wanted to cry when she missed you last night!

Zhao Chanzhen was only five years old at that time, how could he tell the jokes in their words, so he really happily thought that Qingzhu missed him.When she found Qing Zhu, she acted coquettishly and behaved in various ways.

When he was frustrated by Qingzhu, those women comforted him, saying, is there any mother in the world who doesn't miss her son?Qing Zhu is just stubborn.As they spoke, they mentioned their dead child and wept together.

Zhao Chanzhen believed it was true, and every time Qingzhu rejected him, he quickly mustered up his courage and ran to the temple day after day.

But now, he heard Qing Zhu say that he is not her son.Tears fell down, and even the tears that came out were hot.

He had already remembered things at that time, but he remembered what happened that day most clearly.Qingzhu couldn't hold back the abbot, so he could only stay and take care of him.Zhao Chanzhen was crying, and opened his hands to beg her to hug him.

With tears in his eyes, he saw Qingzhu's ferocious and resentful expression.

Like a madman, she dragged him off the bed, knocked him against the foot of the bed, then took off her monk's shoes, smacked his face with the sole, and shouted: "I'm not your mother! You're a little bastard!"

He forgot how things ended that day.He was ill for more than half a month, and the women in the temple took turns to take care of him. When this matter was brought up again, they kept silent, and no one said much.

As for Zhao Chanzhen, he rarely saw Qingzhu since then.

To the outside world, he only dared to call her Qingzhu, and he didn't dare to call her "mother" again.

The women in the temple felt sorry for him, and those who stuttered and drank would think of him. Slowly, Zhao Chanzhen learned to be good. He didn't need to call his mother when facing those poor women, but just sat there and didn't speak. , looking pitifully.Someone will love him.

Although every time, those people always hug him, recalling their own flesh and blood.

When he was older, the women forgot about that.The war gradually shifted places, and the men in the village returned.They started chatting again, and one day they talked about Zhao Chanzhen's appearance.

"The longer this child grows, the more beautiful he is. He is even more beautiful than my Da Ni. He really doesn't look like Qing Zhu."

"Oh, haven't you heard? Before Qingzhu became pregnant, the emperor happened to escape from here. If he is really an emperor, he must look different from ordinary men."

"Boy Xiao Niang, girl Xiao Dad, look at Chan Zhen..."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, if Qingzhu hears this, he will go crazy again."

Zhao Chanzhen was lying beside the woman's lap, with his eyes closed tightly, his sleeping appearance was endearing.

The more loved by these nuns, the more Zhao Chanzhen wanted Qing Zhu's love.What he desires most is to let Qing Zhu hug him.Every time he got sick or injured, he wished Qingzhu could show up and protect him behind him.Say to everyone: "Don't hurt my child!"

Or, if he died in an accident, Qing Zhu could miss him and cry for him like those women.

He was taken to the palace and locked in a small dark room.

Someone gave him water and food, but he dared not eat.

He hid under the bed, cried and begged the Buddha to ask Qingzhu to save him.

Three days later, he was so hungry that he lay under the bed, dizzy, and did not wait for Qingzhu.

When I was in a daze, I only heard someone say: "Little prince, this is the child who neither eats nor drinks."

A cold voice sounded: "Get him out, don't get hurt."

Then Zhao Chanzhen felt that the bed that had been protecting him was being carried away.

Someone picked him up and put him on the bed, and he heard that pleasant voice asking again: "Is he a boy? Why is he wearing a monk's uniform?"

As he spoke, a warm veil was stretched across his face, wiping away the dirty marks on his face.

"It's so beautiful." The man chuckled, "It's not like the old emperor's seed, did you bring the wrong person?"

"The empress dowager can confirm that he is the child left by the late emperor."

After that, he didn't know anything.When he woke up, he had changed into clean clothes, someone had bathed him, and even changed to a house with a garden.

There was a maid outside the door, and as soon as he woke up, someone brought him hot meals.

Suddenly Zhao Chan was not so afraid, he thought that person would not harm him.

After half a month like this, Zhao Chanzhen gradually got used to the life here.He stayed behind closed doors all day long, just in his room, hiding on the bed, and occasionally leaning on the window to look out at the sky and clouds when no one was looking.

As soon as he heard someone, he ran back to bed like a rabbit.

On that day, he met King Yong'an, and he brought a boy with him.

The boy's name is Yongya, and he is a child of a fisherman's family.He has only his mother, who is a lotus picker, and his grandfather is a fisherman.As for his father, "I haven't had a father since I was a child, but I have a second father and a third father. They treat me better than my own father!"

Yongya is not shy at all, he wanders around the room, interested in everything.Zhong Teng only brought him here, said a few words to his subordinates, and then left.

Zhao Chanzhen saw him leave with his hands behind his back from the window, without saying a word.

Yong Ya leaned in front of him, his skin was dark, his face was rough, he looked like a boy, and said to Zhao Chanzhen, "You really don't look like a boy, I heard from them that you are also the emperor's son?"

Zhao Chanzhen hugged his knees and shook his head.He didn't know, no one mentioned about his father, he only knew about Qingzhu.

"Although I don't know what an emperor is, my mother, grandfather, and second father all said that the emperor is a great guy. Those people found me and said that I was the son of the emperor."

"Were you brought here by them too?"

Zhao Chanzhen touched his arm, his arm was pulled a little dislocated, a few days ago someone gave him medicine, so he nodded.

Yongya walked back and forth in front of him, with his hands behind his back, looking confident: "I have already found out, the old emperor...that is, our father, is dead. He has no other sons, if within half a month Only the two of us, one of us will be chosen to be emperor."

Zhao Chan was really dazed, he didn't know anything...

Yongya looked at him, a little frustrated, then sat down next to him, patted his chest and said: "Anyway, if you come before me, then we two are friends. If someone else comes, it won't be us My own. Do you understand?"

Zhao Chanzhen hugged his knees and looked at his toes.

Yongya hates iron but not steel: "You are not a fool, are you?"

In the next few days, Yongya has been making good friends with the maids and eunuchs, and he always rewarded the palace servants with some of the meals he brought, and he got a lot of gratitude.

The situation in the previous dynasty was serious, and more and more ministers prayed for a new emperor.If the first emperor had no son, he would choose a prince named Zhao from the clan.

Empress Dowager Zhao could only come out and say that she had found the late emperor's child and was verifying the authenticity.

As for the authenticity, she looked at Yongya, drinking tea to cover up the disdain in her eyes.Like, it's almost made out of the same mold as the late emperor, it's extremely ugly.

Yongya doesn't think he is ugly, he thinks he is masculine, looks like Zhao Chanzhen, looks like a delicate "girl", which is boring.

Even so, Yongya still takes good care of Zhao Chanzhen.After meeting the Empress Dowager, people around her said that Yong Ya looked very much like the late Emperor.Without verification, it can be determined that he is the child of the first emperor.

Yongya was very proud, he felt that he would definitely be the next emperor.

He told Zhao Chanzhen that being an emperor can get anything.Everything belongs to him, and everyone must listen to him.

Including the mighty King Yong'an.

Yongya was very disdainful of King Yongan. He once said to Zhao Chanzhen: "That man is ambitious, and he is not easy to provoke at first glance. Look at his expression all day long, and he even wears black in summer, like Don't you look like Lord Hades?"

Everyone in the palace is afraid of King Yong'an. Since he entered the palace, he has killed people like hemp, and everyone is trembling, fearing that he will be the next one.

Yongya said that if he became the emperor, he would make Zhao Chanzhen an idle prince, who would eat hot food, drink spicy food, and bring his mother to Jinling.

When he sat on the throne, the first thing he did was to kill King Yong'an, and the empress dowager could not stay either.

Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager is the biological mother of King Yong'an.

There are many twists and turns here.

Having been with Yongya for half a month, Zhao Chanzhen has gotten used to his nagging, and Yongya is thinking about what he will do after becoming the emperor every day.

On the day of the accident, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and it was a very beautiful night.

Zhao Chan was really sleeping soundly, when he heard muffled groans coming from the room, he sat up and looked towards the bed where Yong Ya was sleeping, "Who are you?" He asked timidly.

There are a few more people in the room.

King Yong'an, with his hands behind his back, looked back at him under the moonlight, showing a faint smile, and put his finger in front of his lips, "Shh, go to sleep."

Zhao Chanzhen lay there obediently, and felt a little uneasy when he heard the voice from the sack.

After those people went out carrying the sacks, he also got up and followed them out.

But no one was found.

Can only go back to sleep.

On the second night, people were walking around in the palace, holding torches as if they were looking for something.

He also followed behind in a daze, hearing people say that the previous dynasty had been settled and Yongya was going to be the emperor.But Yong-ya disappeared.

Yongya is in the well.

Zhao Chanzhen witnessed everything, he saw the swelling of Yong Yapao, lying on the ground with all fours curled up, his eyes were like dead fish's eyeballs, looking at him.

He fainted on the spot and had a fever throughout the night.

The next day, he had to be waited on and changed his clothes. His hand was pulled, and he was sent to the dragon chair by the young man in black all the way.

Zhao Chan really became the emperor.

By the time he recovers from his illness, it will be half a month after he ascended the throne.He refused to go out, and did not want to go to court, King Yong'an came to his yard again, just stood there and looked at him quietly.

Zhao Chanzhen lay on the bed, crying in despair.

After a while, King Yong'an left.Later, he was never asked to go to court again.

Zhao Chanzhen started in the harem as the most insignificant emperor in history.

He gradually got used to life in the palace.There are two more court ladies who are slightly older than him, the one with a more tempered temper is called Chunhua, and the gentle and quiet one is called Qiushi.

The name given by King Yong'an.

He did not change.

Then adopted Zhenzhen.

Zhao Chanzhen wiped away his tears with his thumb, and couldn't help but sneered, he had gone through all the hardships, but now he came to tell him that he was not Zhao Chanzhen.

Who is he?
