Abandoned prince's favorite

Years of cold and heavy snow.

But in one night, the entire capital city has become a world of ice and snow, and dark clouds like lead stones piled up in the sky, but they can't stop the joyful atmosphere of the approaching New Year.

The Ninth Prince was wearing newly made clothes, with a white fox fur scarf around his neck, raised his head and kept directing.

"A little to the left, no, a little to the right..."

"Oh, you are so stupid, you can't hang a plaque... why don't you let me come in person."

He was about to go up with the hem of his clothes, but was stopped by He Yuanqing, "Your Highness Nine, you'd better stay underground, the snow is slippery, what should you do if you fall and bump into it? This is not in our own palace, this is the mansion given to you by the emperor, Yu Fengbao's sister-in-law, if you fall here, they will definitely quarrel."

The Ninth Prince nodded, and touched his stomach again.

"You can't quarrel. My sister-in-law has a baby now, so don't get angry."

His handsome facial features were wrinkled together, and his small face was full of disappointment. He pulled He Yuanqing's clothes and asked, "Xiao Yuanzi, do you think I can have a baby like my sister-in-law? In this way, Brother Cheng Peng You can stay with me forever.”

He Yuanqing widened his eyes and exclaimed.

"Your Highness, you really think that every man in the world can give birth. It's because of Yu Fengbao's special status that he can conceive."

Without the Ninth Prince messing around below, the plaque was hung up quickly, and the servants stood at the door carrying two long strings of firecrackers. After a burst of crackling, the air was filled with a strong smell of fireworks.

Fourth Sister Yu and Sixth Sister Yu came to the door with Yu Fengbao on the left and the other on the right.

This is a plaque inscribed by Xie Cheng'an himself, and his seal is specially stamped on the bottom right, in case others don't know that the four characters "Yong'an Palace" were written by him himself.

The two younger sisters are illiterate, so naturally they cannot recognize good or bad characters.

Fifth brother Yu was studying hard in a private school recently, and seeing the four big characters written in four big characters, he couldn't help admiring them.

"It's really a good character. The emperor is both civil and military. He is really a role model for my generation."

Yu Liumei pulled his clothes, raised her head and corrected, "Fifth brother, you called it wrong, you shouldn't be calling the emperor, you should be calling brother-in-law."

Fifth Brother Yu blushed, scratched his head, and laughed twice.

"Yes, yes, you should call brother-in-law."

The north wind swept across the ground, lifted the snow on the ground, and threw it into the air, like catkins flying.

After reading the hanging plaque, Fourth Sister Yu was careful, fearing that Yu Fengbao would freeze, so she hurriedly went back to the house.

The earth dragon was burning in the room, and the charcoal basin was also lit. Two pots of narcissus were placed on the table in the corner. Perhaps because of the warmth in the room, the flowers were in full bloom, and the snow-white ones were hidden in a green clump. .

"Sister-in-law, can I touch your belly?"

The Ninth Prince stared at Yu Fengbao's protruding belly curiously and looked again and again. Seeing Yu Fengbao nodding, he tentatively poked it lightly with a finger, and then boldly put his palm on it.

"Is there really a little doll in there?"

Yu Fengbao nodded with a smile, "When the spring starts, the doll will come out. When the time comes, His Highness Ninth Prince will play with the doll, okay?"

The Ninth Prince agreed very seriously.

"Okay, after the doll comes out, I will give him all the delicious food and fun in my palace, but..." He tilted his head, thinking, "but what does the little doll want to call me?"

Yu Liumei smiled and said: "You are so stupid, you are the emperor's brother-in-law's younger brother, that is my nephew's uncle, he has to call you Nine Uncle." It was blocked by Fourth Sister Yu.

"Fourth brother is a month old now, you can't be as reckless as before. If you turn around and hit the child in fourth brother's stomach, brother-in-law will fine you to go back to Yujia Village alone."

Yu Liumei stuck out her tongue at her, and stood aside obediently.

"My wife is well, so I won't let me go back alone. And..." She tugged at Yu Fengbao's sleeve and said softly, "Fourth brother, do you think what I just said is wrong?"

Yu Fengbao hadn't experienced the joy of being together as a family for a long time. He reached out and pinched Yu Liumei's face, and reprimanded softly: "It's been a while since Mammy taught you, why are you losing the rules more and more? Your Highness the Ninth Prince? Master, besides, even if you're just an ordinary person, you can't call someone stupid, you know? This will hurt others, so don't do it next time, do you hear me?"

Yu Liumei walked up to the Ninth Prince with her mouth pursed, and took his hand to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that about you just now, because we are relatives, don't be angry with me, okay?"

The Ninth Prince was pure-hearted, and squatted down to look at her.

"I'm not angry. When I was in the palace, what they said was terrible. I'm not angry at all."

While everyone was talking, the eunuch who delivered the order from the palace came.

Just as Yu Fengbao was about to kneel down to receive the decree, the eunuch's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with lingering fear: "The emperor specially ordered that you don't need to kneel to receive the decree, just sit and listen to our family finish reading the decree." That's enough, you are pregnant now, if you get hurt, it would be our family's fault."

Yu Fengbao saw that the eunuch who passed the decree looked embarrassed, so he didn't want to embarrass him, "If that's the case, then let my younger brothers and sisters kneel down and receive the decree for me."

Only then did the eunuch who passed the decree heaved a sigh of relief.

The imperial decree was written with gorgeous and beautiful words. Yu Fengbao pursed his lips, suppressed a smile, and patiently listened to the eunuch's announcement. After reading the imperial decree, the following was the reward. The entire main hall will be piled up.

This took nearly half an hour.

Yu Fengbao hurriedly asked someone to reward him with silver, and sent out the father-in-law who delivered the decree.

Yu Liumei was the youngest and the liveliest. She touched the cloth for a while, and the pearl jewelry for a while, making a click-tsk sound, comparing a gold-plated red hairpin on her temples.

"When I grow up in the future, I will also find a man who is as good as the emperor's brother-in-law to be my husband."

As soon as the words fell, Xie Chengan strode in. He changed into his normal clothes, but he looked like an ordinary nobleman. He went to the charcoal basin to warm himself up, and after the cold air on his body was gone, Then he walked to Yu Fengbao's side and held his hand in his palm.

Xu Shicai was warmed by the fire, and his palm was very hot and comfortable.

"Sixth sister is really small and ambitious, but there is only one man in the world who is as good as your brother-in-law, and there is no other semicolon. Unfortunately, he has become your fourth brother's husband and your brother-in-law. Sixth sister may as well be a little How about lowering your requirements and finding someone a little worse than me?"

Yu Fengbao pinched his waist fiercely.

"Sixth Sister is still young, and she belongs to a family of girls. Why are you telling him these things? No one will teach the children badly."

As soon as Xie Chengan came, everyone retreated knowingly.

"Little Yuanzi, don't pull me. I want to ask Brother Huang where he hid Brother Cheng Peng, and why he hasn't been allowed to come to me these days. I miss Brother Cheng Peng."

His Royal Highness Jiu walked up to Xie Cheng'an in two steps in three steps, as if he wanted to ask the teacher for a crime.

Xie Chengan felt that if he didn't hand over Cheng Peng, he was afraid that his stupid brother would turn against him, "Cheng Peng is back, he's just outside the door, you can go find him yourself."

As soon as the words fell, the Ninth Highness disappeared in a flash.

When there were only two people left in the room, Xie Chengan went to the table and sat down, and said in a strange way: "Some people are really cruel, they are like birds that have been freed when they leave the palace, and they don't know how to go home. Fortunately, I still think about it all the time..."

There was a sour taste in what he said.

Yu Fengbao smiled slightly, touching his protruding belly, "The emperor is not thinking about me, I think he is thinking about the child in my belly. It's true. I just left the palace yesterday. I'm full and I haven't arrived in a day yet. The emperor is so annoying." coming……"

Having said that, his heart was full of joy, his clear eyes were full of cunning, he walked over slowly, sat on Xie Chengan's lap, and held his face in his lap. A kiss on the lips.

"I miss the emperor too."

Xie Chengan's eyes darkened, and even his voice became a little hoarse. He put one arm around his waist.

"Do you think I won't be angry if you kiss me?"

Yu Fengbao kissed him on the cheek again, and asked him with a smile, "Then how can the emperor not be angry?"

Xie Chengan leaned against his ear, rubbing the tip of his nose against his ear.

"I'll stay tonight, or you can go back to the palace with me."

In the past year, many things have happened, from being trapped in the East Palace to enthroning and proclaiming the emperor, he has become accustomed to the days when Yu Fengbao is by his side. Last night, Yu Fengbao was not around, and he couldn't sleep over and over again. What, I didn't close my eyes until dawn and fell asleep for a while.

Yu Fengbao didn't sleep well last night. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he felt the empty side of the bed, as if his heart was empty. He hooked Xie Chengan's neck, smiling gently.He also thought about Xie Cheng'an becoming king for him, setting up the last two things, bearing the huge pressure from the court, but never telling him, he also wanted to feel sorry for this man.

"I listen to the emperor. Anyway, wherever the emperor goes, I will go there."

Xie Chengan smiled even wider, and reached out to pat his buttocks.

"Didn't you say you want to practice calligraphy? Come on, I will teach you to practice calligraphy."

Yu Fengbao let him drag him into the room, with pen and ink ready-made.

Xie Chengan studied the ink himself, picked out a brush and handed it over, "You write two characters first, I'll see."

Yu Fengbao didn't know many characters, let alone write. He was holding the brush with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Then you have to promise me not to laugh at me."

Xie Chengan nodded, and gave him an encouraging look. Yu Fengbao swallowed, and wrote the word "big" seriously.

After finishing writing, he looked at Xie Chengan anxiously.

Xie Chengan rubbed his chin, deliberately did not speak, looking at his serious face, Yu Fengbao was in a state of panic, just when he was about to lose his temper, Xie Chengan came over and hugged him from behind.

"Bao'er's writing is really good, much better than when I first learned to write when I was three years old."

Is this a compliment?

Yu Fengbao shot him a look, and called out "Master" respectfully.

"Then am I qualified to be the emperor's student now?"

Xie Chengan curled the corners of his lips, and smiled meaningfully, "So Bao'er likes this, so tonight you are not allowed to call me husband, just call me master."

Yu Fengbao knew that he couldn't speak up against Xie Chengan, so he picked up the brush, and Xie Chengan stretched out his big palm to wrap his hand in his palm. The two of them were very close, and his warm breath could be heard all around their ears. .

"Yes, follow this feeling. You have to use your wrists hard, straighten your pen horizontally and vertically, and write quickly and accurately. Only in this way can the written words look good..."

Yu Fengbao studied seriously.

Under Xie Chengan's teaching, after only half a day's effort, he was able to correctly write the names of himself and Xie Chengan.

Xie Chengan looked at the increasingly correct words, raised his eyebrows, and kissed Yu Fengbao's earlobe.

"Bao'er is really smart, given time, he will definitely be the best."

Yu Fengbao wrote vigorously and refused to stop until his wrists were sore. Xie Chengan persuaded him a few words to no avail, so he had to post them and continue to teach him how to practice calligraphy hand in hand.

This time, it is not a person's name, but a couplet.

Xie Chengan ordered the people outside to take the red paper and cut it out, and there were faintly visible small grids folded on the red paper.

Yu Fengbao didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he let him write on the paper while holding his hand.

After finishing writing, Xie Chengan dried up the ink like a baby, and then solemnly put it away.Yu Fengbao became more and more curious, he only knew a few words in the couplet.

"Your Majesty, how did you write the couplet so well?"

Xie Chengan ordered the eunuch to bring in the box, and carefully rolled up the couplet.

He pretended to read mysteriously.

"For a lifetime, a good relationship lasts forever, and a hundred-year-old couple will last forever. Hengbiao: forever. Bao'er thinks this couplet is very appropriate, does it look like Bao'er and Zhen at this moment?"

Yu Fengbao blushed and said, "Practice your handwriting well, what do you write these for? Besides, my handwriting is ugly, it's really hard to be elegant."

Xie Chengan didn't think so.

"I wrote this with Bao'er together. I plan to stick it next to the bed on the wedding night, just for fun in the boudoir of you and me, and don't show it to others. Besides, I just like you, even your words I also find it cute, not to mention that there is Baoer's sincerity towards me in this word."

The two were playing around in the room when He Yuanqing came in.

"Your Majesty, the dinner is ready, should it be served in the room or in the living room?"

Yu Fengbao was a little surprised, saying that such a trivial matter would not require He Yuanqing to come in person, and seeing his expression dodge, he guessed that there must be something wrong with him, so he coaxed Xie Chengan and said: "Your Majesty, go and see tonight's event for me. What are the dishes for dinner, okay?"

Xie Chengan waved his sleeves.

"I am now your servant?"

Yu Fengbao tiptoed and pecked lightly on his lips, "The new cook doesn't know my taste, and the emperor knows me best, so why don't you take a look for me?"

Xie Chengan's brows and eyes immediately stretched, and he went out like a gust of wind under his feet.

As soon as he left, He Yuanqing heaved a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face. After all, he was the emperor, and the power of heaven was still there. He walked up to help Yu Fengbao sit down, poured him another cup of tea, and couldn't help sighing.

"I still remember when we first entered the palace, the eunuchs in the palace saw that we were better than them, so they kept targeting us, either pouring water on our beds, or doing all the work that was not ours. Push it to us. Just in the blink of an eye, you are about to become a father, and even become the queen of the current emperor. That's great, Yu Fengbao, I'm so happy for you."

Thinking of the past, Yu Fengbao couldn't help feeling a little emotional.When he was bullied back then, He Yuanqing was the only one who was willing to help him. He smiled, and his fate was really mysterious. His purpose of entering the palace at first was just to live, to have food, and to have a tile to cover his head. will go this far.

"Tell me, why did you find me here?"

Confused, He Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, two red clouds quietly crept up on his face, he wriggled and took out an unfinished sachet from his sleeve, the gold thread on the black background was for a man.

"I know you are better at needlework than me, and you have made these little things for the emperor, so I want to ask you, how to embroider the bamboo on this sachet to look good?"

Yu Fengbao was stopped by his sudden question.

"Who are you going to give this sachet to?"

Zuo Zuo must not be His Highness Ninth Highness, after all, he is a child at heart and loves bright colors, besides, he doesn't like wearing things at all, he always finds them cumbersome.

He Yuanqing has always been a straightforward person, seeing him in such a mood, Yu Fengbao stood up happily.

"But have you met someone you like? Which one is it from? Do I know him?"

He Yuanqing said softly: "His name is Wei Zhong." After he finished speaking, he seemed relieved, sat down carelessly, poured a cup of tea with his head up, and continued: "You also know that eunuchs like us will die in the palace all their lives. There is no other way out. I didn't reciprocate my intentions at first, but I was moved again when I saw how loving you and the emperor are. At that time, Concubine Duan Gui imprisoned the first emperor in the palace, and I took His Royal Highness Ninth Prince to escape secretly. I went out of the palace and went to the Wei Anjun for help. At that time, His Highness the Ninth Prince was tired and lay on the ground, refusing to leave, so I asked him to hide in the grass and wait for me to come back. Then I sneaked into the barracks alone. He was almost killed as an assassin, but fortunately he showed up in time."

Yu Fengbao listened carefully. He and He Yuanqing had different personalities. He Yuanqing was a well-rounded person with a meticulous mind. Whenever he saw him, he always smiled. This was the first time he saw such a He Yuanqing.

It's just that he is a little worried. Although there are good men in Beijing, they are a minority after all.

"What about him? What does he mean?"

He Yuanqing shook his head, "I don't know, so I want to make a sachet and give it to him tomorrow, to try his mind, if he is willing, that's fine, if he doesn't, then forget it. Anyway, I have your future now Covered by your queen, you will not have to worry about food and clothing."

Yu Fengbao didn't expect him to think so clearly, but the flash of loneliness in his eyes still couldn't escape his eyes.

"Tomorrow, I want to see what kind of person can fascinate you like this?"

……

The next day.

The weather was fine, the bright sun shone brightly on the ice and snow, and the ice under the eaves was dripping with water.

If you want to ask where is the busiest place to go today, it must be Yong'an Palace, which was personally appointed by the emperor.

There was an endless stream of congratulatory people coming and going.

Anyone who is able to be an official in the capital has not become a genius. Now, for the first time, the emperor has appointed an eunuch as a king with a different surname, and this king with a different surname is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood. Who would dare not come here?

If you don't come, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor?

Xie Cheng'an moved a chair early in the morning and guarded the door, in order to prevent those who were too flattered from making a mistake and disturb Yu Fengbao's rest.

Yu Fengbao is wearing a python robe today. Although he is old now, it doesn't hurt his attitude to put on new clothes at all. He greets the officials politely. The serving eunuch.

When He Tongen came, he carried several camphorwood boxes behind him.

Among all the people, Yu Fengbao is the most familiar with him, and he can be regarded as a colleague. He greeted him personally, and hurriedly said: "How is Qiangzhou? Mr. He has worked hard."

He Tongen stroked his beard under his forehead, and said with a smile: "Everything is fine, but the people of Qiangzhou are thinking of you..." He seemed to realize something, and changed his words: "Now it's time to call you prince, look at me Hurry up."

Yu Fengbao hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to be the one. Don't make fun of me, Mr. He. The reason why I can be this prince is because of the emperor's preference. It's not that I earned it by myself because of my outstanding ability."

"nonsense."

He Tongen said with a straight face, "To be honest, when I first met the prince, I looked down on him. But after going through Qiangzhou, I know that the prince is a kind-hearted and capable person. If anyone dares to gossip behind his back Gen, I, Lao He, were the first to object."

It can be seen from the address that He Tongen took Yu Fengbao as a friend.

Seeing that the two had a happy conversation, Xie Chengan curled his lips, dare these people only know how to curry favor with his wife, his queen, don't they know how to curry favor with him?Isn't this move just to seek fish from a tree, is it superfluous?

Excited, He Tongen ordered someone to open the camphor wood box. There were many things inside, including windmills, puppets, food, and drinks...

"These are congratulatory gifts from the people of Qiangzhou to you and the emperor. Although they are not valuable items, they are all made by the big guys. Please accept them."

Yu Fengbao's eyes were blurred, and he touched the gift in the camphorwood box with trembling hands.

"Master He has a heart, I like this gift very much, thank you."

Seeing Yu Fengbao crying, Xie Chengan hurriedly came forward to comfort him, "Today is a happy day, why are you crying when you are well?"

"I...I'm happy..."

Yu Fengbao leaned on his shoulder and sobbed softly.

When Wei Zhong strode in, He Yuanqing's heart skipped a beat. He quickly ran up to Yu Fengbao and tugged on his sleeve.

Yu Fengbao followed his gaze and looked over.

I saw a man wearing black black clothes standing in the crowd. His figure was tall and strong, and he stood out in the crowd.

He Yuanqing said softly: "Isn't General Wei outstanding?"

Beauty is in the eyes of beholder.

Wei Zhong is not handsome and handsome, but there is an iron-blooded masculinity in his actions, Yu Fengbao nodded, "It's really good."

He Yuanqing was pinching the sachet in his hand, his nervous palms were sweating.

Yu Fengbao pushed him, and whispered: "He Yuanqing, you can do it."

Wei Zhong was not good at words. He had just greeted a few colleagues and was standing alone in the corner of the yard when he suddenly saw a little eunuch in eunuch uniform walking over, and he frowned.

"It's you?"

He Yuanqing had never been so nervous before, and there was nothing else in his ears except the "thumping" heartbeat. He lowered his head, stuffed the sachet into his hand, then turned around and ran away.

Wei Zhong looked at the things in his hand, and smiled with the corners of his mouth.

A member of the army, how can these things be used? He looked at the thin figure who was fleeing in a hurry, but he didn't throw it out, but stuffed it into his chest.

Yu Fengbao saw all this in his eyes.

He was watching intently, when Xie Chengan came over.

"Baby, what are you looking at?"

He followed his gaze and frowned, "He's just a reckless man, what's there to look at? You might as well look at me!"

Yu Fengbao withdrew his gaze, stared at Xie Chengan carefully.

"Comparing it carefully, the emperor really looks better."

The corners of Xie Chengan's lips raised high.

Just as everyone was seated, a young eunuch hurried in.

"It's not good, the Empress Dowager has fallen ill, please return the emperor to the palace!"

The author has something to say: I am sorry for the late update, and I love you guys.
