I wanted to embrace my master and return home

It is a polite act to introduce yourself when you meet each other, and the teacher at home has emphasized it many times, but this self-introduction has changed in Chang Guan'er's ears, as if mocking his shameful identity.

"I...my name is Chang Can'er, not the prince, but... the son of a palace lady." Chang Guan'er lowered his head and said timidly.

Mingqing was taken aback, the palace maid gave birth?What kind of concept is this, he is not ignorant.

He is not a nosy person, and he also understands that everything in the world has difficulties, so he is not overly obsessed with this issue.

"Jan'er, the name is really cute." Mingqing smiled Hexi.

That afternoon, Ming Qing stayed in the courtyard. He intended to find his way back to the palace, but after seeing Chang Guan'er, he was attracted by the beautiful four- or five-year-old child in front of him. He thought he was very cute, so he accompanied him. After playing all afternoon, before leaving, he also took off a pendant on his waist, and said that he would come back another day.

As a result, Chang Shenyue discovered the pendant that night. His mother was so frightened that she asked him who he met today. Chang Shenyue thought that no outsiders would enter the yard, so no one would find out. There is also a child in this yard.

Chang Guan'er was also frightened by his mother's pale face and cried, sobbing and explaining: "It's an older brother named Ming Qing, he said... he won't tell anyone about this."

"You silly boy! You believe everything others say! Do you know how hard it is for Auntie and the aunts to save your life!"

The old maid who was mending clothes with an oil lamp on the side sighed, and said: "Sister Shen, you are too nervous, I heard that the son of the Ming family is upright, he should not be a meddlesome one."

Ruan Tao'er pondered for a while, and said: "Sister, Guan'er's body is no different from ordinary people now, even if the king saw him, he would not guess that he had visions, why not take this opportunity to let him recognize the king?"

"What nonsense my sister said, if the lord asks, why did I say it today, and how can we explain it?!"

"Oh, my silly sister, let's use the power of the young master of the Ming family to slowly reveal this matter to the emperor. Even the young master of the Ming family insists that he is the prince. Let us sisters testify together, and say... say It was my sister who was afraid of being persecuted by Concubine Yao, so she kept it a secret until now!"

Chang Shenyue thought about it carefully, and thought that her child grew up in this courtyard where low-class people lived, and lived a life without seeing the sun. Could it be that when they grow up, they will be randomly stuffed into the guard department or the eunuch's office?

Thinking about it this way, he also acquiesced in his son's relationship with Mr. Mingqing, but when it is time to reveal it, he just wants to obey God's will, she has always been timid, so don't ask her to order it.

Mingqing said that he entered the palace to receive in-depth training, so he will stay in the palace to study permanently, and one day hopes to inherit his father's mantle.

Ming Qing was tired of the hypocrisy and hypocrisy in the palace. To him, the backyard of the Huanyi Bureau where Chang Can'er was located, where there were few people and quiet, became an extremely precious and clean place.

Chang Can'er has a lively temperament, while Ming Qing has a more gentle temperament, but it is often found that Chang Can'er is young, with deep thoughts, pure and simple, but a little extreme in thinking.

Mingqing didn't talk much, and regarded him as a younger brother, and felt very sorry for this child who grew up in the inner courtyard of the palace, and found that he had a strong self-esteem and was extremely sensitive, so Mingqing never asked about his life experience.

Fighting grasshoppers every afternoon, reading picture books, and bringing some delicious pastries to the little boy in the clothes bureau from time to time, after five years, Mingqing has grown into a jade tree facing the wind. Tall and straight, with neatly tied black hair and gentle temperament, he has become the object of admiration of many maids in the inner palace.

Mingqing was very talented, he studied under the teacher who edited books in the Imperial Study Room, and he left school early. After the teacher returned to his hometown, he took over the position of the palace tutor, and only taught the crown prince.

Before the maids in the court could reveal Chang Guan'er's identity, rumors began to spread in the palace, and it was unknown from whom, that there was a troubled prince living in the clothes bureau.

In the middle of the year of the ruler of the country, four of the eight princes died one after another in these nine years. It was all due to various reasons, some fell into strange diseases, some fell into the water, etc. Among the remaining four princes, The most intelligent prince is also weak, suffering from chronic illness.

I don't know if it's because she's getting old or what, but the concubine in the harem has never been pregnant again, and the king has lost children one after another. He has long been suffering from a serious heart disease and is showing signs of aging, so he treats the few remaining sons as treasures, for fear of another accident. There is no one to inherit the Datong, and hearing rumors that there is a troubled prince in the palace, who didn't even change his court clothes, so he rushed to the clothes bureau to check in person.

The palace people led a mighty team to appear at the narrow door of the clothing bureau. The old eunuch pushed open the rotten wooden door, and what came into view was a large courtyard overgrown with weeds. Chang Guaner heard a noise and came out of the house , I thought it was my mother who came back.

The four eyes meet, a strange sense of familiarity arises spontaneously in the heart of the old lord, Chang Guan'er's pair of phoenix eyes are full of dignity, obviously only five points similar, but because of the familiarity of this blood is thicker than water, it can be seen Twelve points.

The lord of the country decided in an instant that this must be the orphan's son.

He was more like his son than any prince he had ever had, cold and cautious, with eyes that were ignorant of the world but still deep.

In the next second, his thoughts were suddenly overturned, and the nobility in Chang Guan'er's eyes disappeared, and he fell to the ground, leaving only the fear of an ordinary person, even more mediocre, cowardly, and at a loss than ordinary people.

The guards escorted a few maids in, except for two young ones, the others were weak women in their 50s and [-]s. They stumbled in and knelt on the ground.

"Aniang..." Chang Guan'er couldn't help blurting out, feeling a vague premonition of something not very good in his heart.

"Kneel before His Majesty, and answer the questions honestly!" The old eunuch said loudly, facing the trembling women kneeling in a row.

"Whose child does it belong to?" The old eunuch waved his whisk and pointed at Chang Guan'er sitting in the yard.

The maids didn't dare to raise their heads, they were all shaking like they were sifting chaff, as if they were in imminent disaster.

"Ask you something!" the old eunuch snapped.

"Yes, yes, it belongs to a slave..." Chang Shenyue cried and replied, and she almost fell to the ground.

The lord did not expect the current situation to be so chaotic, nor did he expect the child's mother to be such an ordinary woman. Upset.

The old eunuch asked again: "What's your name?"

"Slave, servant Chang...Chang Shenyue."

"You raise your head, if I want to ask you something, don't shrink back." The king spoke slowly, with a deep and forceful voice: "I ask you, is this child lonely?"

"...Yes, it belongs to His Majesty." Chang Shenyue said shaking her body.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, my sister is timid. If Your Majesty agrees, it's better to leave this matter to a servant..." Ruan Tao'er, who was kneeling beside her, mustered up her courage and said.

Finally seeing someone who could speak, the king's mood was not so depressed, he said: "Okay, tell me."

Ruan Tao'er told the whole story respectfully, and Chang Guan'er naturally concealed the fact that she was born with a tail, and only said that she secretly put the child in the courtyard because she was afraid of imperial concubine Yao's revenge. During the upbringing, many details of mother's love and love for children were so touching that several other old maids began to wipe their tears, and the eyes of the king gradually softened, but when she mentioned the child's birthday, the king changed instantly complexion.

"What did you say? The fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month?" The king looked surprised.

The old eunuch also seemed to recall something, and hurriedly asked: "But the Mid-Autumn Festival on the day when Mrs. Wan Gui's mother and child died?"

"Yes..." Ruan Tao'er said anxiously. She originally thought that the king would cherish the existence of Chang Guan'er even more when he knew that Chang Guan'er was born on that day, just like the fourth prince who died just after he was born. God's compensation.

Unexpectedly, the king's complexion was so bad that she dared not speak anymore.

The old eunuch saw the state lord's mood at the moment, so he ordered everyone to be taken away and drove back to the palace. After returning to the palace, he summoned Chang Shenyue, Chang Guan'er, mother and son in the study.

"Aniang, you mean, I was born of His Majesty...?" Outside the hall, Chang Guan'er asked her mother in a low voice.

His mother and several aunts, including the most familiar Aunt Tao, never mentioned the matter of his father in front of him. He imagined a lot, maybe it was a guard in the outer palace, or someone outside the palace, in short, all kinds of things. With a shady identity, she never thought that she had royal blood.

For a moment, not only did he not feel joy in his heart, but he was a little panicked and confused. His mother's attitude made him uneasy.But every scene along the way is a luxury that he has never seen before. Even every brick under his feet is smoother and smoother than that of the Huanyi Bureau. Weedy yard, it's heaven here.

"Can'er, it's useless for Auntie, Auntie has been in fear for so many years..." Chang Shenyue sobbed softly.

Before they finished speaking, the two were summoned in, and there was not only the emperor, but also a man in his sixties, wearing a strange official uniform, holding a gossip book in his hand.

Chang Shenyue was full of uneasiness, pulled Chang Can'er and knelt down to salute, only to hear the sovereign say in a deep voice: "This is the national teacher, from now on, you must answer carefully, and if you make false statements, you will be killed."

"Slave... the servant obeys the order."

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Madam, when this child was born, did he have abnormalities in his body?" Ming Guoshi asked.

Chang Shenyue was sweating profusely, her head drooped even lower, she twisted the hem of her clothes tightly, and shook her head.

The lord ordered someone to take Chang Guan'er down, and checked him inside and out. When the palace people brought him back, they said: "Report to Your Majesty, there is nothing abnormal, and there is no birthmark."

"Can't even you see it?" The king was silent for a while, and looked at Master Ming.

The national teacher slowly shook his head: "If the scourge of destiny appears in the world, it needs to be surveyed at the moment of birth. At that time, the evil spirit is very strong, and the astrolabe will be restless. Didn't your majesty have found the scourge of destiny that day and eradicated it?" ?”

"But... But I always feel uneasy in my heart, how could such a coincidence happen, how could it be on the same day?"
