Qiao Yi

Seeing the child in the young man's arms, Xie Yin had no affection for the child. In his eyes, the child was no different from a kitten and dog that his little princess picked up outside. Since the young man wanted to raise a Son, he just agreed, the entire Ming Palace is so big, just find a yard to stuff it in, and send two people to take care of it.

At this time, His Royal Highness King Ming did not know that Qiao Yi was going to take the child back to his own courtyard.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the palace, and Chu Liu, Zizhu and others who were waiting at the entrance saw the carriage stop and knew that their master had returned, so they rushed up.Seeing that their lord came down first, they all hurriedly stopped and saluted: "Your servant/servant has seen the lord."

Qiao Yi got out of the carriage and carried a child out of the carriage.

"Master." Seeing that their young master finally came back after being away for so long, Chu Liuliang burst into tears, woohoo, their young master is finally back, why did the young master only take Dahu and not him? Does the young master dislike him? Work, woo woo...

"The servant has seen the princess."

Outside, Zizhu and Chunxue all called the prince, only Chu Liu kept calling their young master "Young Master".When several people saw the child with their master, they were a little curious about where the child came from.

They haven't seen their master for such a long time, and they all have a lot of things they want to say to the master.

"Okay, let's all get up." Qiao Yi held the child's hand in one hand, and looked up at the plaque hanging above the gate, on which were written three large characters [Ming Wang's Mansion].After leaving the palace for so long, to be honest, he really missed the palace and the people in the palace.

"The old slave has seen the prince and the princess."

Seeing the masters coming back, Steward Cui led a group of servants from the mansion out to greet them, and invited the masters back to the mansion.

Xie Yin turned his head slightly, glanced at the young man behind him from the corner of his eye, turned his head, and walked towards the gate.Seeing the man leave, Qiao Yi who was behind led the child and followed the palace into the palace.

The people behind followed into the palace, and the gate was closed.

The house has already prepared fragrant soup for bathing. As early as they knew that their master was coming back today, Zizhu had someone clean the inside and outside of the small courtyard, and also prepared water for the master to bathe in. Clothes, footwear and accessories are all ready.

But Zi Zhu didn't know beforehand that their master would bring a child back, and he led the child all the way through the door.Before she had time to ask the child's identity and origin, she heard the master's order to find two clothes suitable for children. There were no children in the palace, so naturally there were no clothes suitable for children.

At this time, it is definitely too late for the embroiderer to do it.After receiving the master's order, Zizhu hurriedly sent someone out of the mansion, ordering: "Go to the cloth shop outside to buy two ready-made clothes, shoes and socks, and come back."

There are ready-made clothes in the cloth shop, and it should be able to buy clothes for children.

"Well, that's right there, scratch it for me."

Lying in the bathtub, Qiao Yi asked someone to rub his back with a towel. His back was a little itchy, so he asked someone to scratch him.

There are a lot of flower petals in the water in the tub, and I picked up a handful of flower petals and put them under my nose to smell them. How can I take such a comfortable bath outside.They were rushing to save people over there, and rushing to prescribe medicines here. When they got busy, they didn't even have time to eat. How could they enjoy taking a flower petal bath so much.

It's still a comfortable life when I come back to the palace!There is no harm without comparison, and this perception is really too big when compared.

"Is it alright, master? Is it still itchy?" Chu Liu was like a cheerful little butterfly, circling around his master, rubbing his back and tickling him, foaming his hands , Carefully wash the young master's hair.

Usually, the master seldom asks them to take a bath, only occasionally calls them to help wipe his back. In the past, Wang Dahu did most of the work of serving, and it was rarely his turn.

"Master, have you lost weight?"

"It's okay, aren't you thin?"

Following Xiao Chuliu's gaze, he landed on the clearly visible ribs on his chest. Well, he has indeed lost a lot of weight. His words are not convincing.Seeing Xiao Nuer's expression of feeling sorry for him, Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing, and said, "Young master will eat a few more bowls of rice later, and the flesh will grow back."

Originally, he was not in a system that was easy to get fat, but if he went hungry for two meals, he lost his meat very quickly.

After taking this bath for nearly half an hour, Qiao Yi finally got up from the water. She actually felt that her whole body was fragrant, the dirt all over her body was washed away, and her complexion turned a shade whiter.His clothes are mostly white, light blue and blue, with very few dark colored clothes.The little maid prepared him a white base suit with light blue satin on the outside. The fabric is silky and breathable when worn on the body.

Neither felt hot.

On the waist is a round white jade ring, which is strung with a red rope, with red tassels hanging below it.

The hair that had just been washed was still wet, so she wiped it with a towel a few times, and when the water stopped dripping, Qiao Yi threw the towel away and went outside.

The kid who washed up before him sat outside and waited for him. The kid was wearing a small red robe with a round collar.The child's soft, withered and yellow hair has also been washed, the ends of the hair are a little curly, the little yellow hair is messy, and the big eyes are very innocent and cute, just sitting here so obediently waiting for him.

Seeing him coming, the little brat ran down from the chair and ran towards him, hugged his legs with both hands, and wanted to climb up the pole.

This proficient speed seems to be a lot of practice.

Qiao Yi could only grab the child's arm, picked him up, put him back on the chair and sat down, "Sit down, don't move around.

Seeing that the child was about to get up, he said with a tiger face.

The child didn't dare to move immediately, and only dared to look at him with a pair of big eyes, looking very pitiful.

Qiao Yi knew that it was inevitable for children to be afraid when they came to a strange place, and it probably took a while to get used to it.

Seeing that several people in the room were looking at him and the child, Qiao Yi knew that they were curious about where the child came from, so he just said: "Lele is a child I brought back from outside, and I will raise it in the palace from now on. Inside, the prince knows about it."

"From now on, in this small courtyard, he can go anywhere he wants except my study. If I'm not free, you can help watch him and prevent him from doing dangerous things." He didn't It is impossible for children to run around the entire palace, but in this small courtyard, children can play anywhere at will.

Later, he asked someone to make a swing and some small toys outside, so that the children could play in the yard.

"Yes, this servant has seen Young Master Le." Zi Zhu and Chun Xue understood in their hearts that this is half the little master in the palace.After the salute, Zi Zhu said with a smile, "The servant has prepared the food in the kitchen, presumably the master and Young Master Le are also hungry right now, the servant will pass the food on."

"Okay." Qiao Yi waved his hand, telling him to bring the delicious food quickly.

The dishes in the kitchen are already ready, and they will be delivered soon. There are his favorite sauced elbow, braised sea bass, steamed pork ribs with taro, and roasted eggplant...the dishes on the table are all his favorites, Joe Yi eats tears streaming down the sky, he is really too happy, isn't it?

He didn't forget to take care of the children around him, he picked up a few steamed ribs for the little boy, and asked someone to give him a bowl of pumpkin and millet porridge

Come.

The child hadn't recovered from his illness for a long time, and he didn't like eating too greasy food, so even if the child looked at his sauce-flavored elbow drooling, Qiao Yi didn't give it to the child, "After a while, you can eat whatever you want , not now, let's bear with it for now."

One thing is good, that is, children seldom cry, and he has almost never seen a child cry.

...Oh, when he pulled the child away from the old beggar that day, he saw the child cry once, and he never saw the child again.Thinking of this, Qiao Yi feels sorry for the little boy, now that the little boy belongs to their family, he will take good care of the little boy in the future.

He said he couldn't eat it, and the child didn't make a fuss to eat it. He just ate his own millet porridge and stared at him gnawing the sauce-flavored elbow. Qiao Yi felt guilty while eating, but at the same time A sense of pleasure from bullying a child?

...You can bully the child as much as you want while the child is still young?

After returning to the palace, His Highness Prince Ming went back to the main courtyard where he lived, and did not go to his little princess.But even if his people didn't go there in person, His Royal Highness King Ming clearly knew what happened in the small courtyard over there, and knew that his little princess climbed into bed to sleep after returning after having a meal.

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is blowing.

This afternoon, the entire palace was quiet.In the room, one big and one small were lying on the big bed and sleeping soundly. The sleeping teenager spread out into a "big" character, and the child lying at the end of the bed was sleeping soundly with his one calf in his hands.

This sleep lasted until sunset, and when Qiao Yi woke up, Qiao Yi almost kicked the pendant away from her feet...

... Fortunately, he realized what was hanging by his feet, otherwise he would have kicked the little boy under the bed.When did the brat come to his bed?Sitting up from the bed, seeing the little brat who was still soundly asleep, Qiao Yi's mind was full of question marks.

The one in the palace knew that Princess Ming had returned to Prince Ming's mansion, so he sent his father-in-law to pass the message, "My lord, the emperor wants to see you, so please come with our house."

"Oh, the emperor wants to see me?"

Qiao Yi subconsciously looked at their prince. If the emperor wanted to see him, he really couldn't refuse.He knew that the emperor wanted to see him, probably because of the plague this time. Originally, when he rescued people, he thought that the one in the palace would definitely know about it.So what is the purpose of meeting him this time?Could it be that he was allowed to enter the palace to receive the reward?He thinks the latter is more likely

"This king will go with you to meet the royal father." Xie Yin said.

"Emperor..." The father-in-law who sent the message wanted to say that the emperor only appointed to see the concubine and the concubine, and did not say that he wanted to see His Highness Prince Ming.Qiao Yi interrupted her father-in-law, and said happily: "It would be really great for you to enter the palace with me to meet the emperor. Don't you know, every time I enter the palace, there is something in my heart. How nervous."

"You said that the emperor wants to see me, is it because I saved so many people, and even the little eighth prince, the emperor let me into the palace to reward me?"

No wonder you're nervous!The corners of His Highness Prince Ming's mouth twitched.

From the first time they entered the palace, Xie Yin had never seen his little concubine nervous or scared.But generally speaking, when seeing the emperor for the first time, ordinary people will definitely feel a little nervous or afraid, but the young man is not at all. A bastard who grew up in the countryside should not be a little nervous when he enters the palace for the first time to see the emperor. Have nothing to do with fear?

And when they met for the first time, he, the little princess, could still negotiate terms with him calmly.

The palace sent a small sedan chair to pick him up, but fortunately, the small sedan chair was very spacious, so it would definitely not be a problem for two people to sit, so Qiao Yi dragged their prince into the sedan chair together.The father-in-law outside shouted "Get up the sedan chair", and the four big men lifted the sedan chair.

"This is the first time I've been sitting in a sedan chair." This was Qiao Yi's first time sitting in a sedan chair, and he couldn't hide the freshness in his heart.For a modern person, who would run to sit in a sedan chair if he has nothing to do?So he had never sat in a sedan chair before.After coming here, the last time...

That is, when they got married, a sedan chair came to pick him up, but Xie Yin pulled him onto the horse, and the two of them rode away.Thinking of what happened on the day they got married, Qiao Yi said it as a joke, took Xie Yin's hand, and wrote the question he wanted to ask on the man's palm.

——Why did the emperor let me enter the palace?

Xie Yin looked down at the young man writing on his palm, feeling itchy, which made him want to pull his hand back, but finally he held back.After the boy finished asking, he turned over the boy's palm and answered his question on the boy's palm.

The two people communicated in this way, but the father-in-law who was following the sedan chair outside the sedan chair only heard the voices of the people inside.When the sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, the father-in-law outside shouted: "Prince Ming, my concubine, you have arrived at the gate of the palace, please come down!"

Sedan. "

The two got off the sedan chair, walked into the palace, passed through many palace walls, and finally arrived at the emperor's bedroom—Ruihe Hall

.After the father-in-law guarding the door went in to report, he came out to invite them in, "His Royal Highness, Princess Wang, the emperor let you in

"

〇

"My son pays homage to his father and the imperial concubine."

"Get up^"

Seeing Concubine Xiao at the Emperor's place, Qiao Yi was not surprised at all. He entered the palace a few times, and every time he saw Concubine Xiao at the Emperor's place, it seems that this Concubine Xiao is really loved by the Emperor. , will always be with you.

It was rumored outside that the emperor loved Concubine Xiao very much, and for the sake of Concubine Xiao, he would not make a queen.So in a modern sentence, a man tells a woman that I love you very much, but I can't marry you as a wife, so you can only continue to be a mistress?Qiao Yi would only believe in hell how much the emperor loves this woman, and how much Concubine Xiao Gui would love the emperor.

These two people sitting together, this scene gave him a strong sense of disobedience.

He was very curious in his heart, how long can these two pretend to be in love?
