The younger brother of the Red Chamber is a fighter

The empress said that she wanted to test Lin Mingyu's homework, so the maids hurriedly presented the Four Treasures of the Study.Everything of the royal family was of the highest quality. Lin Mingyu smiled as he smelled the fragrance of ink.

The queen said: "Since today is the day of the draft, I will write a poem with the title of 'National Beauty'. I don't stick to the rhythm, but the concept is the most important."

Concubine Yuan hurriedly responded: "Your Majesty is kind, since this is the case, it is better to limit the time a little bit. The elder sister Concubine Rong presided over the draft in just one more hour. , it’s not pretty anymore.”

The queen nodded: "You set a time."

"Your Majesty's rules are set loosely. I think Brother Ming deserves it when it's about a stick of incense. Do you think it's okay?"

The queen stopped talking, and ordered the maid to grind the ink and serve Lin Mingyu's pen and paper.

This topic seems simple, but it is not easy to do.The empress asked for the concept to come first. With Lin Mingyu's current knowledge, she naturally knew that she didn't just want to see the words of appreciation if the draft was beautiful, but... Lin Mingyu looked at the amiable and lovely concubine Yuan sitting above her, and she felt something in her heart. idea.

Lin Mingyu only started to write when the incense was more than half burned.Lin Mingyu poured ink on it like flowing clouds and flowing water, Lin Mingyu held up his hands to dry, and then handed it over to the maid.

The queen took a look, smiled slightly, and asked the maid to read: "Peaches, plums, and spring breeze are waiting for you, golden saddles and horses are in front of the dragon gate. The temples are facing the flying clouds, and the black sword is repaying Xuanyuan. The brocade skirt and plain shoes are unbearable. Why is it because of the beauty of the country? Compete for Yan. If you listen to Deze from enlightenment? Dare you come up with the allure!"

Poems are not considered good poems, but at a young age, he had the idea of ​​repaying the imperial court instead of being full of romance. This is exactly what the empress wanted, so he smiled and said to Concubine Yuan: "Look at this child, he has a lot of ambition. He's really a good guy, Concubine Xian, it's not in vain for you to praise him normally."

Then he said to Lin Mingyu: "Good boy, like a father, like a son. But you also need to remember that back then, your father was amazingly talented, and even at your age, he was also very famous. You and him It needs to be compared, and it needs to work harder, and you must not relax even a day."

Lin Mingyu hurriedly received the instruction.Yuan Chun was just laughing at this time, and didn't do anything to add icing on the cake.

"Your Majesty, let's move on to the second question."

The Queen chose a sentence from the Four Books and asked Lin Mingyu to explain it.There is no need to write for this meeting, Lin Mingyu sorted out his thoughts, and then began to talk.

After hearing this, the queen became more energetic. The two argued with each other, each feeling satisfied.Jia Yuanchun's expression became more indifferent as the two of them talked and laughed longer.Lin Mingyu looked at it a few times and smiled secretly.

After talking about it, Lin Mingyu flattered her a little, and the empress couldn't help laughing out loud while she was relaxed all over, and said again and again: "It's amazing, it's amazing, so quick and eloquent, I misread it earlier Concubine Xian, brother Ming is so clever and lovely, how smart is your younger brother Jia Baoyu who is about to admit defeat to him! I really want to see for myself."

Yuan Chun hurriedly raised his head, and said modestly: "Children's family, it's just boasting, how can the empress say so well. If the empress wants to see him, no matter what time, it is his great honor to pass it in for an audience." Blessings."

The empress smiled, and went to talk with Lin Mingyu, leaving aside the Concubine Yuan who was looking forward to what to say next, feeling very disappointed in her heart.Casting a vicious glance at Lin Mingyu who was paying no attention to her, Yuan Chun pursed his lips and said with a smile like a flower: "Your Majesty, the hour is almost here, why don't you go to the third question?"

She had already thought about the prestige of being absolutely determined to kill him.That poem was written in a nonsensical and incomprehensible way, and it was so eloquent, it can be seen that he is not a loyal person in his heart, and he can't blame his mother for suffering from him.The pale and pitiful face of Mrs. Wang seemed to appear in Jia Yuanchun's mind again. The mother of the dignified concubine was taunted by a child, so shameless!

On the one hand, he blamed Mrs. Wang for not being able to handle it, and on the other hand, he pitied her for being bullied. Now that the evil person who caused trouble was standing in front of him, Jia Yuanchun only felt that this person was no longer an unsightly person.

The empress was reminded by this, so she stopped talking with Lin Mingyu, looked up at a chime clock in the main hall, paused, and said with a smile: "It's not the hour. I haven't seen such an interesting child in the palace for a long time. It made me forget the time. That’s all, I don’t need to take the third question. It’s just to see how talented he is. If I’ve already seen it, I’ll make up my mind, so I don’t need to spend more time. Concubine Rong It should be fine, you can go with me."

After speaking, he stepped down from the golden chair, Lin Mingyu hurriedly bowed and prepared to salute.

The queen walked up to him slowly, stretched out her hand to hold his hand, patted it and said: "My good boy, you go to the side hall next to you and stay there. I asked the palace servants to bring the meal over. After you have eaten, let them eat it again." Let me take you out to play in the garden. You have entered the palace for nothing. You children should follow the rules. Don’t be too restrictive. Your sister passed the primary election and has to live in the palace. , I will let her meet with you before you leave the palace."

Lin Mingyu hurriedly thanked her, her little face was full of joy, like a little peach stained with blush.The queen gave some advice and left with a smile.

Jia Yuanchun walked behind, paused for a while, and said to Lin Mingyu: "The queen's empress looks at you so favorably, which is your blessing. Brother Ming, you wait in the palace, I have ordered someone to do it for you I have prepared carriages and horses, and I will take you back to Rongguo Mansion. The old lady is always thinking about you. You are so young, you have the guts to separate yourself from other provinces, but you still need to remember. The most important thing is filial piety today. , don’t let Shenghua Deze down.”

After these soft words, Jia Yuanchun patted him on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin is in the palace, and I will watch over everything. Go back and tell Mr. Lin to make him feel at ease. There are two princes who are your close relatives, so don't be unfamiliar with them, understand?"

Lin Mingyu took a step back, saluted respectfully, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your guidance. Lin Mingyu remembered." He stopped talking, moved his lips rather hesitantly, before Yuan Chun was about to leave impatiently, Aggrieved and said: "It's just...the empress doesn't have to send me back to the Rongguo Mansion. Now my sister enters the palace with Princess Yunhua and is taken care of by the princess. I am grateful in my heart. My family has been taken care of by her. I was thinking about reporting one or two, so I made an appointment with her first, and went to her house to take care of the flowers and plants for her."

Lin Mingyu was quite shy: "I was doing this in Yangzhou when I was free, and when the princess found out, she even praised me. Now that I am reluctant to make a fool of myself, it is against the good intentions of my mother and grandmother. I am very embarrassed .”

"Either way, I'd better talk to the princess, and first go to my grandmother's side to ask Ann, and serve her for a while, before going to do what the princess asked me to do?" Lin Mingyu raised her head and looked into Concubine Yuan's eyes , making recommendations with confidence.

When Jia Yuanchun heard the name of Princess Yunhua, his complexion changed slightly, his eyes were deep, and he smiled in a flash: "Since the princess invited you first, you should keep your promise. The old lady is the most kind person. If you want to come Although it's a pity, I can understand your intentions. If you have the heart, you can go there anytime, so I won't ask any more questions, you can just figure it out."

Concubine Yuan walked away depressed. Lin Mingyu watched her off for a long time, with a slight smile in her eyes, and followed the palace guards who led the way into the side hall.

Not long after, there was indeed a palace official delivering lunch, and there were more than a dozen dishes on the plate, all of which were delicious in color, fragrance, and exquisite as works of art. The luxury of Tianjia can be seen.

Lin Mingyu let go of his stomach, ate a hearty meal and drank tea, only to see two palace servants coming in outside, leading him to enjoy the flowers in the back garden.

Qionglin Neiyuan, with jade bricks and carved corridors, is indescribably noble and brilliant, full of vitality.Lin Mingyu walked slowly, the imperial garden was huge, but there were not many people to be seen, it was not a place where people could just come in and out.Watching all the way to a pavilion, the pavilion is backed by a meandering water flow, and the ice powder falling on the shore is so moving.

Lin Mingyu went in and sat down, while two court ladies were serving tea and setting snacks for him, a court lady hurried over from the other side of the path, saluted first, and then said: "Aunt Yang of the Shang Palace Bureau is looking for you two, and she will return in a moment. "After the palace maid delivered the message, she went to do her errands.

The two palace maids looked at each other with a hint of joy, but they looked at Lin Mingyu with some uneasiness, and their expressions were slightly anxious.Lin Mingyu saw it, and said: "You two sisters, I will rest here for a while, you go and go about your own affairs, I will definitely not walk around carelessly."

The two maids hesitated for a while, and one of them said: "Then please take a rest here for a while, the tea and snacks are prepared, if you need anything, just wait a moment, we will go back when we go."

Lin Mingyu promised again and again that he would not run around, and the two maids thanked him gratefully, and returned to his life.

There are no other people around, and the few palace people far away are free to do their own errands and can't take care of him.Lin Mingyu suddenly felt relaxed all over, he left the stone table, jumped onto the railing and sat, leaning on the pillar of the gazebo, looking towards the water flow.

As the breeze blew slowly, Lin Mingyu took a deep breath and unconsciously stretched out her waist.

"Who are you?" A crisp voice came from behind, with a hint of sticky and soft waxy.

Lin Mingyu hurriedly turned around to look, only to see a little girl wearing a pink gauze dress standing outside the gazebo, only seven or eight years old, with two tufts on her head, the same pink and tender pearl flowers on her head, long silk The tape hangs down and dances around her face.The white and tender cheeks with baby fat were dyed a layer of light pink, which looked like a chubby big white bun.

Lin Mingyu couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of saliva, where did this cute baby come from!

Seeing Lin Mingyu turning his head, the little girl was also startled by his appearance, then she widened her eyes and said, "Why don't you speak, can't you hear me?" She is so beautiful, but she is either blind or deaf. The little girl has seen it a few times in secret, and she is deeply impressed.

Her exaggerated expression, combined with the few petals in her hair, looks extra cute.Lin Mingyu put away her drooling obscene expression, hurriedly corrected her posture, and said with a smile: "My name is Lin Mingyu, and I was granted permission by the Empress to enjoy the flowers here. What's your name? Which family's lady is it?"

Today is the day of the draft, those high-ranking wives and wives also took the opportunity to bring their family members into the palace to pay their respects, or some people who have a close relationship with the queen got a good deal, and some of them kept their ladies here to play.

The little girl blinked her eyes, raised her chin high, and said proudly: "I'm Xiao Wu, don't you recognize me?" She looked Lin Mingyu up and down for a while, then she entered the pavilion unconsciously, and saw the table The exquisite pastry placed on the table, his eyes lit up, his little white hand touched a piece quietly, and sent it to his mouth. "

Lin Mingyu came over and sat next to her, seeing that she ate so much that the pastry crumbs stood on her face, she smiled and persuaded: "Eat slowly, your face is stained."

Xiao Wuquan ignored him, ate two yuan, and only grabbed one, and said slowly, "Lin Mingyu, can you accompany me to play there?" She pointed to the rockery far away, full of eager anticipation .

Lin Mingyu saw her rude behavior, the folds of her clothes were still stained with grass clippings, and her words were very naive, so she had a rough guess in her heart, because she said: "I want to wait for my sister here, if you want, I will be right here Play with you, okay?"

Xiao Wu looked at the rockery in the distance, frowned and thought for a while, then compromised: "Fine then. I'll play here." Xiao Wu sat upright, with his hands behind his back, looking at Lin Mingyu excitedly .

Lin Mingyu did not respond.

Xiao Wu waited for a while and got angry: "Why don't you play with me! You are lying. I'm going to find my sister."

Lin Mingyu was dumbfounded, was the little girl playing with him just now?I didn't feel it at all.

Busily stopped the little girl and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what do you want to play?"

Xiao Wu showed his two fists from behind, looked idiot at Lin Mingyu and said, "You don't even know how to guess the boxing game, you're so stupid! I won't play with you anymore." Having said that, she couldn't bear it, Xiao Wu turned her face away, eyes rolled The son quietly squinted over.

Lin Mingyu was speechless for a long while, then tidied up the rivers and mountains again, took a look outside the gazebo, and had an idea.

"Come here." Lin Mingyu took her hand, brought her to the grass, picked up a large handful of petals, and arranged them in a nine-square grid.

Xiao Wu followed him with doubts and expectations, and was ordered by him to pick up smooth pebbles and yellow flowers.

Lin Mingyu explained the rules of the game to her, seeing that she didn't understand, she taught her again, Xiao Wu understood, clapped his hands and shouted: "Come and play."

The two squatted on the grass, you took stones, I took go, playing the game of drawing circles and drawing crosses in later generations.

Little Wu's character is like a child, he doesn't want to lose, and he screams when he loses. If he is in a hurry, there is still a layer of mist in his eyes, Lin Mingyu's heart has been sprouted, and he will let go of the water openly.Xiao Wu didn't care about it, he just laughed happily.

I don't know how long it took, the two sat on the grass and played regardless of their appearance, only to hear a panicked voice: "Oh, fifth princess, why did you come here, I'm so anxious!"
