Abandoned prince's favorite

In the dark and damp prison of Shuntian Mansion, a palm-sized mouse crawled over the man's instep, the man kicked it away, and the mouse squeaked twice before running away.

The man got up from the ground, only to realize that his hands were in shackles, and there was a "crash clatter" sound when he moved.

He calmly walked to the prison door and knocked on the door with the shackles. The sound of "jingling" echoed in the empty prison.

"You blind people, do you know who I am?"

The yamen servant was dozing off outside, when he was suddenly awakened, he came over with a stick, and greeted the man through the door, "If you dare to make trouble again, sir, I will peel your skin."

The man suffered a loss and stood inside, shouting: "You hit me, you, a small clerk, dare to hit me, let me tell you, my brother is the most popular person around Xindi, you offended me!" Leave me alone, and I will let you go around without food."

The yamen servant sneered.

"If your brother is a celebrity in front of the emperor, my father will still be the Jade Emperor. Give me peace of mind, otherwise the stick in the poor man's hand will not recognize anyone."

The stick knocked on the door with a dull sound.

The man flinched in fright, and then shouted not to be outdone, "My brother's name is Yu Fengbao, and I'm Yu Dalong. I'll wait for my brother to come. I'll see you later. Pooh..."

"Hmph, no matter where you go in this world, you can't escape the word of reason. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Who doesn't know that the celebrity in front of the emperor is a eunuch, and a poor relative of an eunuch dares to be arrogant here."

The Yamen servant yawned and walked back.

The man was beaten, but he didn't dare to make trouble again.

……

Lu Zhengting was woken up by his master early in the morning, and the sun was dim outside, he yawned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

In the capital city where there are royal relatives and dignitaries walking around everywhere, he is a third-rank Shuntian Fu Yin who has everything he can do all day long, is it easy to ask for a bite to eat?

Every day, he cares about the safety of the whole capital, but only has a meager salary, for fear that one day he will offend someone if he doesn't check.

The master cupped his hands and said: "Yesterday, there was a life lawsuit in the Wanhua Building."

Lu Zhengting frowned. It's not unusual for those young masters in the capital to get jealous and fight news.

"Which family's young master is this time?"

Master paused.

"This man's surname is Yu, and he is from Yujia Village in the suburbs of Beijing. He was originally just a villager, but..."

The reason why Lu Zhengting was able to sit firmly in the position of governor of Shuntian Mansion was because of his good news. He thought about it, quickly dismissed the dignitaries in Beijing, and then showed a suddenly enlightened expression.

"Could it be related to that Eunuch Yu who is quite favored?"

Master nodded.

"My lord, when you go to court, would you like to check on this Eunuch Yu first?"

……

It was rare for Yu Fengbao to sleep soundly last night, so he got up early this morning to accompany Xie Chengan to the court. He stood at the slant of the dragon chair, his body bowed slightly.

Lu Zhengting had never been in contact with Yu Fengbao before, and after looking carefully at him today, he exclaimed in his heart, he really had a good skin, and the eunuch's uniform was worn on him, showing a slender waist, half hanging Although her eyes can't see the expression clearly, but she can't hide her beauty. No wonder the emperor is partial to her. Sure enough, I feel pity for her long eyes, and she naturally has a romantic atmosphere.

Yu Fengbao had keen senses, and when he sensed that someone was looking at him, he looked at him quietly. When his eyes met, the man winked at him.

The two communicated quietly, but all this scene fell into the eyes of Xie Chengan who was sitting on the dragon chair.

Xie Chengan pursed his lips and did not speak, a sharp light swept across Lu Zhengting's body.

Lu Zhengting was shocked, his back was wet with sweat, and his body bowed even lower.

After the next court, the officials filed out.

Yu Fengbao took an opportunity and walked outside, and he saw Lu Zhengting outside the palace gate.

He looked at him, Lu Zhengting was about forty years old, with a thin face and a long beard, he didn't know the officials in the capital, but he was the one who served Xie Chengan closely, and he talked a lot on weekdays, I have to pay attention.

"Master Lu, do you need me?"

Lu Zhengting pulled the man aside, and whispered: "There is such a thing, I want to ask Eunuch Yu's idea, a murder happened in Wanhua Building last night, the murderer is said to be Eunuch Yu, your elder brother, I am going to be an official for a while It's not good either...Please invite Eunuch Yu..."

Yu Fengbao's expression darkened.

"Master Lu, as the parental officer of the capital, seems to be getting more and more confused. Killing people to pay for their lives, and debts to pay back money are all just and right. Why do you come to ask me now?"

Lu Zhengting wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"What Eunuch Yu said is true."

Yu Fengbao said again: "My lord, if the evidence is convincing, then act according to the law, and you can judge what you want. There is really no need to ask me."

When the person walked away, Lu Zhengting raised his head, looked at the thin figure from a distance, and sighed.

He really wasn't sure whether Yu Fengbao was telling the truth or irony.

As soon as Yu Fengbao entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was embraced by Xie Chengan.

"Who made my Bao'er angry this early in the morning?"

Yu Fengbao said with a blushing face, "Why is the servant so angry?"

Xie Chengan lightly pecked his lips, "Bao'er is the person next to my pillow, how can your little thoughts escape my eyes, tell me, did that old man Lu Zhengting offend you? Tomorrow, I will find a reason to transfer him out of the capital."

"Your Majesty, you can't be arrogant. Master Lu didn't make me angry. Besides, you transferred him out. Where can you find such a handy person to fill the vacancy in Shun Tianfu? Master Lu has been in this position for some years. Yes, I am most familiar with the situation in Beijing.”

What Yu Fengbao said clearly and logically.

Xie Chengan kissed him on the cheek, "Bao'er is really getting stronger and stronger, if he didn't know that Bao'er is wholeheartedly for me, and dared to wink at you in the Golden Temple today, I should have punished him."

He spoke in a serious manner, Yu Fengbao couldn't help laughing and said: "Now that you are the emperor, why are you getting more and more stingy, even jealous of your courtiers, besides, Mr. Lu is old enough to be the father of a slave. How could a slave..."

Xie Chengan smiled happily.

"So Bao'er stays by my side because she wants me to be young, handsome, and physically strong. When I get old, you're going to find someone younger?"

His hands kept scratching Yu Fengbao's waist.

Yu Fengbao was always ticklish, so he just begged for mercy: "The emperor is getting more and more narrow-minded. When the emperor gets old, the servant will also get old. How can young people look at the servant?"

He bit his lip and added another sentence.

"Besides, the slave is determined to follow the emperor for the rest of his life."

……

At noon, the little eunuch hurried into the Hall of Mental Cultivation and whispered something in Yu Fengbao's ear.

Yu Fengbao explained a few details about serving Xie Chengan, such as the tea should be [-]% hot, the room should be ventilated, the incense should not be too strong, etc. After the explanation, he asked the people in front of the imperial court to repeat it again, so that he could go away with confidence. up.

Both Yu's father and Yu's mother had been farmers all their lives. They had never seen battles in the palace, and they were so scared that they shrank like a quail. Seeing Yu Fengbao coming in from a distance, Yu's mother's eyes turned red.

"Three..."

Yu Fengbao yelled, "Father, mother... If you two elders came here for the sake of elder brother, forgive me for being powerless, please go back."

Yu's father and Yu's mother did not expect Yu Fengbao to reject it outright.

The two froze for a moment, then knelt down.

"Mother knows, you hate me and your father, you hate me for selling you into the palace, and the guy who was stabbed by a knife failed to keep you, but mother can't help it, there are so many people in our family, if it weren't for... ...As a last resort, how could my mother be willing?"

She cried with a lot of tears and snot.

Yu Fengbao thought that if the money from selling his body was really used for his younger brother's education and saved his younger sister's dowry, then he would accept it. After all, the Yu family gave him the kindness of nurturing him, so it can be regarded as repaying the kindness.But the fact is that the elder brother and the second elder brother didn't work hard. Not only did they fail to marry a wife, but they also lost all their money. As a result, they sold their two younger sisters, and the younger brother had no books to study.

Yu's father was dull and coughed twice.

"San'er, don't blame your parents for being cruel. Think about it, if we sent you into the palace back then, how could you be as wealthy as you are today? Now that your brother has committed a crime, it's nothing more than beating a turtle to death. You tell the emperor, let him off this time, and don't dare to do it again next time."

Yu Fengbao had a cold face.

"The state owns the laws of the state, and the family has its own rules. I can't help this matter. You all go back. The government can judge it as it pleases. The turtle man was also raised by his father and his parents. There are also wives and children in the family. Why doesn't the elder brother think about the consequences when he does something? .”

Mother Yu looked at Yu Fengbao as if she was watching a ghost. When did the youngest Yu who worked hard at home in the past become so eloquent? She slumped on the ground and howled.

"If your eldest brother dies, I won't be able to live anymore. San'er, you are so cruel. You were raised by me with shit and pee. Now you have climbed a high branch, and you don't even want your parents and family. "

"Come and see, I raised such an unfilial son..."

……

Yu Fengbao suppressed his tears, choked up and said: "Father, mother, I miss you raising me, redeeming all my younger sisters, and letting my younger brother have books to read. Your Yu family can't live on anymore, so sell me into the palace." Li became a eunuch, and I also admit it. I believe that I have done my best to the Yu family. Even if you talk about breaking the sky today, I have nothing to do with the elder brother's affairs. Everything depends on how the government judges."

There was no one else in the room, Yu's father and Yu's mother scolded Yu Fengbao.

White-eyed wolf, black-hearted ghost, all kinds of vicious words blurted out.

Yu Fengbao just stood there and let them scold him.

Xie Chengan looked up and saw that Yu Fengbao was not there after finishing the work at hand. After asking, he realized that Yu's father and Yu's mother had found him, so he rushed over in a hurry. But he was scolded badly.

He walked in with a sullen face.

"Bold!"

Yu's father and Yu's mother were taken aback. Although they didn't know the emperor, they knew that people in the palace could not afford to offend, so they quickly knelt down.

Xie Chengan took Yu Fengbao into his arms as if no one was there.

"Where is the sharp articulateness that you usually talk about? I used to say that I was lazy and arrogant all day long. Why did it happen to me? I have been scolded like this and I don't know how to talk back. I just look at you. If you have a good idea, you can only be strong against me."

Yu Fengbao leaned in his arms, and couldn't help but shed tears.

Xie Chengan patted his back and said sharply.

"Bao'er, you belong to me, and the family tree of the Xie family will join in the future. What does it have to do with your Yu family? How many heads do you have enough for me to chop off if you dare to insult the emperor's relatives and make noise in the palace?"

Yu's father and Yu's mother trembled in fright, kowtowed like pounding garlic, begging for mercy.

Yu Fengbao sniffed, "Your Majesty, let them go, I don't want to see them again."

Xie Chengan sternly said, "Get out!"

Yu's father and Yu's mother went out scrambling and crawling.

Seeing the person in his arms crying so sad, Xie Chengan's heart almost broke, "It's not such a big deal, why do you..."

"They are ignorant peasants. Why did the emperor say such things? Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, and I am one of the emperor's people, the whole court and even the whole capital are watching this matter. In the future, how will the emperor convince the public and govern the world?"

Yu Fengbao lay in his arms, talking about the whole story in detail.

Xie Chengan's heart softened, and he hugged him even tighter.

"I knew that Bao'er was looking for me all the time."

Yu Fengbao put his arm around his waist.

"With the emperor around, the slave will have a home. If the slave doesn't protect the emperor, who should he protect?"

……

Because Yu Fengbao's mood fluctuated too much, he fell asleep in Xie Chengan's arms at this moment. Xie Chengan carried him back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, put him on the bed, tucked him in the quilt, and then went out of the room.

Yu's father and Yu's mother, who were kneeling outside, both had their foreheads touching the ground, and they didn't even dare to lift their heads.

Xie Chengan said in a deep voice: "You two are Bao'er's adoptive father and adoptive mother, I will not do anything to you, I just ask you, who entrusted Bao'er to you back then?"

Yu's mother boldly replied: "Responding to... the emperor's words, the women remember that it was a young and beautiful man who brought the child to my door. The wife also talked to him, and the accent doesn't seem to be that of us from Dazhou, but rather..."

Mother Yu thought for a long time before she remembered that the street performers she had seen before had the same accent.

"It seems to be from the southern border."

Xie Chengan frowned, he had promised Yu Fengbao to help him find his family.

"are these all?"

Mother Yu nodded.

After Xie Chengan ordered people to send Yu's father and Yu's mother away, he also ordered people to find out all the ancient books and books about southern Xinjiang.

Just as I was about to read it, I saw a little eunuch stumbling and running.

Xie Chengan shouted in displeasure: "What's the proper way to panic?"

"The slave deserves to die, please forgive me, the emperor."

The little eunuch kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Xie Chengan frowned and asked.

"What's the matter?"

The little eunuch stammered and replied: "Five hundred miles to report urgently, Qiangzhou earthquake, countless casualties, please send people to rescue quickly."
