[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The morning light was faint, and the remaining stars were dotted, and the entire Daming Palace hadn't woken up from its sleep.Beside the Taiye Pond in Xiyuan, the Leopard House was also silent in the dark of night.When Jiao Shizhi woke up, he couldn't move his whole body, a strong arm around his chest and abdomen tightly hugged him, and the familiar soreness in his limbs was reminding him of something.

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao once again succeeded in keeping him.He was about to get up, but the movement woke up the people behind him, and the arms on his chest and abdomen were stretched hard, making him return to his original position.

"Your Majesty, it's almost dawn." Jiao Shizhi reminded him.

"Hmm, Liu Jin will remind me when it's time to get up." Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

...A few black lines popped out of Jiao Shizhi's forehead, "But your majesty, I should leave."

"First you are humble, then you are minister. Every time you change your title, do I have to remind you of one thing?" Zhu Houzhao covered Jiao Shizhi's body with a smile that was not a smile. Under the quilt, the two nakedly intercourse , Zhu Houzhao's exhaled breath blew by Jiao Shizhi's left ear, making him tremble slightly.

Seeing the reaction of the people under him, Zhu Houzhao was very proud. This is a sensitive point he created, and he developed it bit by bit from scratch.

"Your Majesty," the young man's voice was indeed more pleasing and hoarse, "If you don't get up again, you will be late in the morning."

"Then stop." Zhu Houzhao yawned and murmured.

"Then I invite you out of the palace, so as not to cause trouble in the palace." Although he called himself "I", but this title put pressure on Zhu Houzhao, he opened his eyes dissatisfied, and his handsome face was slightly displeased.Jiao Shizhi ignored him, turned over and got out of bed.Early in the morning, it was changed to once every ten days. If the emperor does not participate, then it will be too much.

Zhu Houzhao hugged Jiao Shizhi from behind, leaned over his shoulders, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "Sometimes I really miss your cautious appearance at the beginning." Unlike now, everyone has learned to talk back.Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao pouted especially dissatisfied.

Jiao Shizhi smiled lightly, turned his head and kissed lightly, then took advantage of the moment when Zhu Houzhao was in a daze, turned around and broke free from Zhu Houzhao's arms, and changed into the half-worn clothes.Zhu Houzhao's stunned voice came from behind, "You've learned badly!"

Did you learn badly?Jiao Shizhi thought, maybe.Thinking of the past, he was also a little dazed, how did he get to where he is now step by step?

Looking back it seems like a long, long time ago.

-

Jiao Shizhi's life before the age of nine was completely different from that after the age of nine.

His mother, Gong Shi, was the main wife of Jiao Jun, the prime minister of Dali Temple, but she was straightforward and not good at speaking, and she was not favored by Jiao Jun. She died of depression when Jiao Shizhi was nine years old.Seeing the death of his first wife, Jiao Jun didn't look sad at all, and he straightened his concubine Yang Shi by his side in a blink of an eye.Yang's family was already well-loved, and his status was only a little lower than Gong's. After turning over and making decisions, the life of Jiao Shizhi who lost his mother's protection became difficult.

Even so, under such circumstances, over the past four years, Jiao Shizhi has gradually grown up, from a child to a handsome young man.

Today was supposed to be the day he went to school, but the people in the Jiaojia School are like grass on the wall, and they are easy to be bullied if they lose power.Although no one dared to do anything to him because he was Jiao Jun's only son, Jiao Shizhi was tired of hearing his private words.

He is introverted and reticent since he was a child. He didn't want to cause trouble with his classmates, so he avoided going to school these days.It's just that I was depressed in my heart, so I went out of the house to relax.

At dusk, when Jiao Shizhi returned to Jiao's house, he felt an unusual atmosphere. The faces of the maids and servants who came and went were all happy, but when they saw him, they suddenly turned into a look... almost sympathetic. .

There was a movement in his heart, and then a possibility that was not very good for him emerged.

Yang is pregnant.

When Jiao's family was rejoicing, only Jiao Shizhi's yard was clear and cold, and the servants who served him did not dare to breathe.

Jiao Shizhi sensed the emotions of the waiters in the yard, and couldn't help but smile wryly. They also underestimated his temperament too much, no matter how difficult it was, he would not lose control and vent it on them.Besides, it was impossible for Jiao Shizhi to blame his situation on an unborn child.

It's just that Jiao Jun's attitude... is really chilling.As soon as the Sri Lankan passed away, the whole house was already covered with festive red silk; the bride was three months pregnant with filial piety in her body.

This is not Yang's first child. Three years ago, Yang had a miscarriage.Now... is the second.

Even though he knows that his parents respect each other like ice, Jiao Jun doesn't even care about etiquette, which makes Jiao Shizhi completely disappointed in him.

Unconsciously sighing again, Jiao Shizhi touched the saber on the table, it was a treasure given to him by his mother when he was five years old.The Gong family favors martial arts, and the Gong family is also good at martial arts. Jiao Shizhi studied with the Gong family since he was a child, and now he is quite good at the age of thirteen or fourteen.However, Mr. Jiao didn't like it, and every time he saw it, he would be furious and beat him. Up to the past year, Jiao Shizhi has almost never danced a sword again.

However, touching it has become a habit.

When he got up the next day, the emotional exposure of last night seemed to have disappeared, and he turned back into that gentle and restrained eldest son of the Jiao family.

When he gets up early and goes to school, he doesn't like to be served by others, so after packing his things, he plans to ask someone to prepare the car.After skipping school for a few days, it would be too much not to go.Before he could give an order, Jiao Shizhi waited for Mr. Jiao.

He hadn't seen this father for many days. Jiao Jun didn't like him, but he never treated him badly, but he didn't care about these rules, and he didn't even meet Yang's mother in name noodle.

Jiao Jun is a handsome middle-aged man, with a flowing beard, blazing eyes, and an elegant demeanor.

"I heard you haven't been to school for a few days?"

Hearing Jiao Jun's words, Jiao Shizhi bowed and said, "Father, my son is a little unwell these days, and my classmate asked for leave to go out to relax."

Jiao Jun doesn't like people wielding knives and sticks, but prefers the elegance and beauty of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, so he also has a bit of pedantry of literati.On weekdays, he didn't care about Jiao Shizhi's affairs, so Jiao Shizhi didn't think so much when he played truant, but if Jiao Jun really noticed him, he would be punished.

"Hmph, feeling unwell? If it's really unwell, why didn't you ask a doctor?" Jiao Jun snorted coldly, looking at his son standing in front of him, he was full of displeasure.Mrs. Gong is beautiful, but she doesn't know how to be funny, and she is far less considerate than Mrs. Yang.And Jiao Shizhi, who was educated by Gong's family, is naturally not his favorite character.

"The baby is well today, and is about to go to school." Jiao Shizhi said respectfully.

Jiao Jun glanced at the school tools beside him, finally nodded in satisfaction, but still said: "Come back today, go to the ancestral hall to kneel for two hours, small punishment and big punishment."

"Yes, father."

Jiao Shizhi said obediently.

When returning home in the evening, Jiao Shizhi gave all the things to the book boy, and went straight to the ancestral hall without even eating.If Jiao Jun saw him at the dinner table, I don't know how many troubles would happen.

The Jiao family's ancestral hall is not very big, because Mr. Jiao is not a member of the main family, but a branch of the Jiao family. The current head of the Jiao family is Jiao Fang, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites who is in the limelight.The servants guarding the door saw that Jiao Shizhi had long been familiar with the strangeness, and one of them led Jiao Shizhi to the door with a lamp, while the other old servant sighed softly as he looked at the faint figure.

When Jiao Shizhi came to the main hall, the old slave who led the way was not qualified to follow.He stepped into the Jiao family ancestral hall alone, and immediately knelt down respectfully.Even if no one is guarding him, with his self-sufficient character, he will never do anything false.

The wind and rain in summer are erratic, but after a while, there was lightning and thunder outside the house, and it actually started to rain heavily.The rain was so heavy that several guards outside the house were forced into the back room. Hearing the sound of the rain beating on the window, one of them said: "This rain is really unbearable. It seems that it can't stop tonight. The young master should I stayed here all night." The ancestral hall is on a relatively high terrain, even if it is blown by wind and rain, it will not hurt it.But the way to leave would be easily covered by water, unless he forced his way through, Jiao Shizhi would stay in the ancestral hall tonight.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. If it were me, I'm afraid I don't want to go back." The other person whispered, and was patted on the shoulder by the first person who spoke just after finishing speaking, "You can say this? I'm afraid you don't like yourself. A long life?" The servants guarding the ancestral hall are all elderly, and they have stayed in the Jiao family for a long time. They can see the affairs of the Jiao family clearly, and sometimes they feel a little bit sorry for the young master.

"Let's talk less, Ah Da, I will move the quilt to the young master later, it is not good to catch a cold in this weather." The most dignified person in the room made a decision, the atmosphere condensed for a moment, and then everyone around Changed the subject.

In the quiet and deserted hall, Jiao Shizhi listened to the sound of rainwater beating on the eaves outside the window, and quietly recited the content taught by Mr. Xuetang today, which made the silent time pass faster and did not feel boring.He has come to the ancestral hall quite a few times, and he doesn't dislike coming to the ancestral hall. Compared with so many troublesome things outside, it is much cleaner here.

"Eldest young master, I'm afraid I won't be able to go out tonight, so don't dislike it." Ah Da's voice came from outside the house, and Jiao Shizhi slightly moved his stiff legs, almost unable to stand up.Holding on to the floor and changing his posture, Jiao Shizhi changed his posture several times in a row to relieve the tingling pain when he got up.

He opened the door slightly staggeringly, and there was a food box and a clean quilt outside, and a layer of coarse cloth was carefully laid under the quilt.It was raining heavily in the courtyard, and the air was full of freshness and humidity.Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, took a deep breath, bent over and came in with his things in his arms.

In the middle of the night, the rain was not slow at all, and the sky and the earth were vast, and as far as the eye could see, there was only rainwater that swept down from the sky, slapping the ground in a hurry, splashing countless sprays.The entire Jiao family's house was quiet and quiet, only the remaining ancestral hall was still brightly lit, and only this place in this small world was still brightly lit, undisturbed by the torrential rain.

Jiao Shizhi was sitting on the chair with the quilt half in his arms. The food box next to him was not opened. He was trying to keep his eyes open in a drowsy state, trying not to be rude in the ancestral hall.This is the first time he spent the night here.

However, sleepiness finally defeated him, and Jiao Shizhi fell asleep.
