starling is not a bird

Qin teacher Chen Yi has been in the Chenjia class in Shanxi for more than ten years. He is not good at playing the erhu, but he is very popular, so the old class leader is not willing to dismiss him.

Speaking of it, when Emperor Kangxi was in power, Chen Yi's parents had no way to survive in the severe drought, so they left Chen Yi by the side of the road.Fortunately, the old class leader at that time was kind enough to pick it up and raise it.

At the beginning, the old class leader also saw Chen Yi's fair and delicate appearance, and wanted to cultivate a character, so he sang his voice and practiced his figure every day.It's a pity, ability and luck are also important on stage.

Chen Yi started learning opera at the age of three, and came to the stage at the age of eight. He has never been popular all the way. After five or six years, the old troupe leader is kind in the end. If there is no way to survive, it is up to the master to let him change his career to become a luthier.Chen Yi is an honest person, and he doesn't complain, but he just wakes up every day and still plays the piano with his brothers before going to practice the piano.

Later, Chen Fei, a martial artist from the Chen family troupe, became famous for singing Sanchakou. He met the Empress Dowager Wanshou, and all over the country joined the theater troupe. After singing in the mansion, he chose to enter the capital again.

Only when we arrive in Beijing can we see the world, every team thinks so.It's a pity that the capital city, the place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, still lost the election.The big guys were all disgruntled, the old boss saw it in his eyes and was anxious, so he pulled the big guys to the front and encouraged them, and promised everyone that they could receive monthly money to go around and play around, and it would take a few days before they returned , which makes people happy.

When everyone dispersed, the old class leader left Chen Yi behind: "Xiao Yi, look at Fade Chen, he is the most unhappy person in this journey, and you will follow him when you go out, so that Those who are frowning are not arrogant enough, let's go back and sing well, there is still a chance!"

Chen Yi and Chen Fei were adopted together, so they naturally had a close relationship, so they followed him out with a smile, and they dragged him along the way to talk about things. There is also a pair of little tiger teeth, and the two are very proud of who can finish a glass of soybean juice the fastest.

Chen Yi couldn't remember what happened afterwards, but only remembered that the bean juice tasted too bad, and then someone seemed to vomit, and then what?Chen Yi, who was tied up and left to bask in the sun, watched his junior brother being surrounded and beaten until he vomited blood, and then what?I don't remember clearly.

I don't know who rescued me in a blur. When I woke up, Chen Yi was lying on a strange bed. I moved my limbs and felt numb pain. Someone said next to me: "Sure enough, I woke up. Tell the prince quickly!"

After all the injuries on his body were healed, Chen Yi finally saw the letter left by the old class leader, and after a few vague instructions, there was nothing left.On the contrary, the people who served him loved Chen Yi very much, and they only said that the prince liked to listen to the piano, so he was left as a piano teacher, and all the expenses in the future will be rewarded by the palace, which can be regarded as a great grace.Chen Yi was also quite courteous, and said several times that he was going to thank her, but the managers outside said yes and rest assured to recuperate, and there was no rush.

Playing the violin and singing songs every day, life is quite happy, but Chen Yi still doesn't understand how he got into the prince's favor?After staying for several months, the waiter became familiar with Chen Yi, and gradually Chen Yi could hear a few words from the information in the front yard.It turned out that it was Prince He Shuoying who saved him, the ninth son of the holy grandfather, and one of the most powerful younger brothers of the current emperor.Chen Yi suddenly felt like a dream, how could he vote for such a noble person?

It would be ridiculous to say that it is piano skills, even if I throw it back to Shanxi, I am no more than mediocre, let alone the capital?Naturally, Chen Yi had also heard about those nasty things. The Qing Dynasty banned officials from visiting brothels and courts. How many dan roles in the troupe can be clean?But taking care of himself in the mirror, Chen Yi really doesn't feel that he is outstanding in appearance.

Fortunately, Chen Yi was used to being peaceful, so he quietly guarded his yard and did not go out. He had already seen that the guards guarding the gate of the yard were all high-ranking, and the old class master had been there.

Later, Eunuch Ma, the servant in charge of the palace, also came a few times, just to see Chen Yi's daily life and chat with him casually, and to appreciate a few words of concern from the prince.

After doing nothing like this for several months, Chen Yi was also allowed to occasionally go to the next yard to talk to someone. It turns out that the people living in the next yard are all young children, and there are also stunning female roles that I have heard of for a long time. The emperor loves a lot, and there are always people who are willing to please him with all kinds of beauties, but the prince does not care about gender.

Chen Yicai had a vague feeling that Prince Ying is a manly man?After chatting with them, I found out that none of the princes were confiscated, and they were just kept as toys. Except for being called Mr. Sheng, he was no different from a cat, cat or dog.Occasionally, someone was called to sing a song and do somersaults.

It's just that everyone who comes out to beg for life is unwilling to cause trouble. No matter whether the prince has forgotten it or has other purposes, how bad is it for everyone to have a bowl of safe tea and rice?Why bother to get to the bottom of it, life goes on like this.

In autumn, Prince Ying led Fujin Shizi into the palace for a banquet on August [-]th. There was no master in the palace. The courtyard was far away, but the guards did not dare to be careless, they watched closely, and did not take too many steps, and the moon cakes, wine and vegetables were all good, but facing the bright moon in the sky, Chen Yi thought of the theater troupe, and inevitably hid I cried a lot.

When I got up the next day, I heard that when the prince came back at night, he was very drunk and ordered several sons to go to bed. In the morning, there was no early morning, and the sons had just been carried out, and they were all lying in their own yard.

After hearing this, Chen Yi became less daring to speak too much, and was cautious every day, but there were more and more young masters serving the bed, and those young children even invited their masters to teach them how to serve them well.At the end of the month, I saw that those young masters were taken out by the steward, saying that the prince rewarded them with money, allowing them to find their own future, and everyone was very happy.

Those who stayed were looking forward to being hired, and had also inquired about it. The prince is not bad-tempered, and he doesn't like to spoil people indiscriminately.Besides, everyone knows that Prince Ying is well-known as a rich man, and he is generous in his actions. He will not take advantage of the slaves in vain. Those who go out will get a lot of money to settle down. Before leaving, they will bid farewell to their companions. Most of them are smiling.

Only those young children were never taken in, nor let go, which made people worry in vain. Chen Yi was far away from them, and had no friendship with them. I can only continue to be lonely, the joy of the past is indeed far away.

Just after the mid-autumn festival, the palace was in a hurry. Huancha, the young servant who served Chen Yi, was also a coat-coated servant under the banner. Some brothers became popular, working with their masters, and also had a small future on their bodies.Before Huancha came in, the family told him to talk less and do more, but he was assigned to such a yard, and there were servants who even did the cleaning. Huancha was also very busy every day, and Chen Yi was kind, The two can be regarded as somewhat affectionate.

: "Young master, how do you know that since the emperor ascended the throne, every year on the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor has stopped for a day, and the concubines will enter the palace at noon to accompany the empress dowager to celebrate the festival. In the evening, the emperor will come to our palace. When the time comes Prince Dun is also coming, as well as Prince Mu, King Cheng, King Ming, can our family prepare early?"

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, and put on a suitable surprised expression in line with Huancha's tone. In fact, apart from hearing that Prince Dun is the emperor's tenth brother, Chen Yi didn't know any of them. He had only been in Beijing for dozens of years. How can you know so many dignitaries?Prince Nadun was the one who often sent things here besides the emperor, and Chen Yi only heard about it here occasionally, but it was just that Huancha said it with all his heart, so he couldn't interrupt it.

Huancha was still talking endlessly about how many delicacies the Prince of England had prepared, what exotic flowers and fruits he had shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, and how many dancers and singers he had bought from overseas. day to go home.

One day, Chen Yi was playing the piano in the yard, when he fluttered down from the wall, a white parrot with red mouth and red claws looked very pleasing, Chen Yi picked it up, and carefully patted the dust off his body, the parrot was also quite With psychic abilities, he squatted obediently on Chen Yi's shoulder and did not fly away. Chen Yi was so happy that he peeled a whole plate of sunflower seeds and fed it.

When Huancha came with lunch, his eyes widened: "This is the prince's baby. It was hatched from the emperor's snow clothes. The last litter was rewarded to the prince. It must be groomed today." It's time to run away, young master, you can give this bird to me, otherwise Eunuch Ma must be in a hurry!"

Chen Yi looked at the excitement on Huancha's face, and couldn't guess in his heart that he wanted to ask for credit. Although he was reluctant to part with the white parrot, how could he deserve the things bestowed by the emperor?Nodding, and handing it over to Huancha, Huancha's irrepressible joy spread across his face.

In the evening, Huancha came back cheerfully, Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions, Huancha served with extra care, thinking that the child couldn't hide his words, so he definitely wanted to talk to him.Unexpectedly, there was someone knocking on the courtyard door outside, and the one who came in was the servant in charge of the palace, holding a golden tripod in his hand, on which he was pecking his own feathers, wasn't it the white parrot?

: "My lord said, it's rare that Yueyan likes you, so I'll leave it to you to take good care of it, don't let it spoil you!"

Since Chen Yi entered the palace, he has never been so happy, teasing the proud parrot every day, teaching it to read operas, I don't know how interesting it is.

Even Huancha was also happy: "My lord, you don't know that Xuanpao is the most kept in the mansion!" Chen Yi was stunned: "I have never heard of this kind of bird, it must be a high-end rare object?"

Huancha covered his mouth and snickered, looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and whispered, "It's the starling bird, Xuanpao is the name given by the prince." Chen Yi smiled and said: "So that's the case, I mean I haven't heard of it before." This kind!" Huancha continued: "The prince himself calls myna, but he doesn't allow us to call him!"

Before Chen Yi could ask a question, Huancha lowered his voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense, the current emperor is the eighth, and back then our prince was called myna!"

Chen Yi shivered, nodded and remained silent.

On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, there were indeed heavy guards everywhere, and the sons everywhere had to explain that they were not allowed to leave the hospital. Chen Yi naturally stayed obediently, and someone said outside: "Commander Jin, this side is ready!"

In the evening, someone came to take the moon rock, saying that the emperor wanted to see how the free moon rock would be willing to put on the chain, and it was another struggle.

Prince Dun rushed back from Tibet to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival, and Prince Mu also came back with the good news of the great victory in the Northwest. That night, it was indeed the east wind that put thousands of trees on the night, and the stars fell like rain. Watched the fireworks all night.

In winter, the empress finally gave birth to a son-in-law. During the happy days of celebration, Prince Ying was a little gloomy. Everyone was wondering if the prince was tired from the ceremony every day for the celebration?

'

Chen Yi, who was used to taking Yueyan to the east of the back garden for a walk, naturally didn't know that the emperor was concerned about Prince Ying's health, and made a decree for Prince Ying to play a set of Wu Qin Xi every day.

When Chen Yi saw Prince Ying, it was too late to kneel down.

: "Why kneel? I have no shortage of people to kneel! You just stand there, no, go to the green plum tree, um, hold the moon rock higher! Yes, that's it! When I finish fighting Let's talk about this half!"

Chen Yi, who was holding the moon rock, did not dare to move at all. The snowflakes in the early winter fell on the tip of his nose, itching. He had just brushed it with his hand when Prince Ying saw it: "Didn't I tell you not to move? You will be welcome if you move again." Ah!" Chen Yi had no choice but to freeze again.It was so easy for Prince Ying to finish punching a whole set, put down the tied braids, and still didn't say anything to tell Chen Yi what to do. He waited until he was far away before saying, "Come early tomorrow!"

Chen Yi's legs were already frozen.

Then, accompanying Prince Ying and watching him boxing every day became Chen Yi's daily task. Prince Ying even ordered someone to make some special sets of clothes for him to wear while standing in the garden.

Later on, the lord especially liked to grab Chen Yi by his side, and he didn't want him to do anything, Momo Sixiang was always there.Just let him stand in the corner, there is never a lot of tea and fruit, but Chen Yi is also flustered, what does the prince mean?Especially whenever the lord watched Chen Yi for a long time, there would always be a young master sleeping at night, and Chen Yi became more and more confused.

Ever since she was old, Chen Yi still remembered the winter solstice of that year, the pork dumplings with mushrooms and cabbage that she ate at noon, they were very delicious, what about at night?In the evening, the prince wanted Chen Yi's body. Chen Yi still remembered those panting, sucking, and all kinds of entanglement, but what about the next day?He forgot, it seemed that the prince hadn't seen him for several months, and it seemed that the young masters in the next yard changed frequently.

But more than half a year has passed, Chen Yi is still staying in the mansion, and all kinds of people are respectful and polite to him, even Huancha has added a monthly fee, Chen Yi is inevitably a little wishful thinking, the prince still cares about himself .

On that day, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Chen Yi remembered it very clearly, not only because Prince Ying drove Xiaolian, a maidservant who gave him a purse, to Zhuangzi in the morning, but also because of the sudden visitor at night.

When Prince Dun rushed in, his footsteps were very steady. After staying in the palace for almost two years, Chen Yi naturally didn't know how close Prince Dun and Prince Ying were, but when he was pressed down on the ground and knelt At that time, he really couldn't help but sigh that it was brotherly love.

Prince Dun's cold voice seemed to be engraved in the flesh and blood: "How are you like him? Are you worthy of being regarded as him?" When the leather whip dipped in salt water was whipped up, Chen Yi was almost dead, no one To rescue him, Prince Dun brought his own soldiers, and Huancha had already been thrown outside.Even Yueyan was taken out, and when he looked up, he only had time to see the coldness in Prince Dun's eyes before he was pushed into the mud.

And the Prince of England?Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but after midnight, how can he come back?

I don't know who saved me, but Huancha disappeared, and the people around me were all dumb. When Chen Yi was able to get up, he realized that someone had slashed across his face. He smiled wryly, and could still say what?

It was a long time before I heard that Prince Dun had gone to Shijiazhuang to sort out military affairs, and Chen Yicai moved back from the manor, but the prince fell ill, and the imperial doctor and court judge came and went every day, and then he simply lived in the mansion.

This is the second time that Chen Yi has been transferred to take care of the prince, but it is the first time that he finds out that Prince Ying is a coquettish child. Chen Yi unexpectedly finds cute in the vague instructions in the morning and the unhappy pickiness in the evening.

The Prince of England was not seriously ill, it was just a loss of appetite, and there was no other way to do it except to recuperate. When it came to the winter solstice, it was the emperor who came over to eat dumplings, saying that he was afraid that moving the Prince of England would be bad for his health.

That night Chen Yi didn't sleep all night, he was used to taking care of the prince every day, he thought what if the prince wanted someone to serve him and beat his legs?Can't I be too late?But Qiang opened his eyes when the cock crowed, but no one came to call him.

In the afternoon, I heard that the prince was seriously ill. When the emperor left in the morning, he was worried!In addition to sending the imperial doctor, even the imperial chef was sent to cook for the prince.Who else in the world has such an honor?Chen Yi didn't take it seriously, if he really cared, why should he take Sheji more seriously?

In the evening, Chen Yi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and sneaked out, begging to see Eunuch Ma, his pityful eyes made him very uncomfortable, but Chen Yi still straightened his back as much as possible.

But the prince leaning on the bed doesn't look a little sick?With a smile on his face and two red clouds on his face, Chen Yi was confused.When the prince saw Chen Yi, before he had time to say anything, Eunuch Ma shouted: "Prince Dun, let's go!" Prince Ying hurriedly dragged Chen Yi to hide behind the curtain behind the bed.

Chen Yi was naturally afraid of Prince Dun, so he covered his mouth and didn't dare to breathe.

: "Ninth brother, you are so courageous, aren't you afraid that the emperor will be really angry?"

: "Old Ten, you will always be that timid, so you can only hold on to the weak, your ninth brother, I am born to expand the territory!"

: "Brother Nine, we all know the emperor's temperament. If he finds out about the actor you raised, he will definitely be angry. Are you really the emperor and will not touch you for the rest of your life?"

: "If you don't tell him, of course he doesn't know. If you don't spoil my good deeds, if your sister-in-law didn't come out that day, would you really want to kill him?"

: "Fortunately, my sister-in-law was outside and didn't see anything! Ninth brother, you should hide the person better, don't give the handle of the knife to others!"

After a long silence, Prince Ying said, "I know everything, you don't have to worry about it!"

: "I don't worry, you pretend I don't know what your plan is? Let me ask you, the emperor stayed with you yesterday, how are you doing?"

The Prince of England began to laugh: "You are the dog and the mouse, the emperor is silent, you care about me!"

When the two were entangled, someone shouted outside: "The emperor is here!"

: "Hurry up and hide!"

: "Why did I hide, I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Of course you didn't do it, can I do it? It's too late, you hide behind the bed and don't come out later, or you will bear the burden of annoying the emperor!"

When the emperor came in, Prince Dun hid beside Chen Yi. Looking at him who had not seen him for a long time, Prince Dun kicked Chen Yi without hesitation, and Chen Yi was so painful that he almost screamed out.

And then what?And then there was a clear voice that began to ask for warmth?of course not!

: "Old Jiu, you are getting more and more courageous!" Is the emperor's voice really more majestic?

"Brother, I've been in pain for a whole day, and you don't even ask, just scold me as soon as you come!" It was that coquettish voice again.

: "Hmph, how dare you say that if you hadn't given the medicine, how could you have come to this point?" His voice softened a bit.

: "Brother, mynah, I'm not feeling well! I'm bleeding, and you don't feel sorry for me anymore. If you have a son, don't you want me?"

: "There are dozens of starlings hanging under the eaves of your house, you tell them to love you!"

But Chen Yi heard the rustling sound, and the sweet sound of Prince Ying wanting to drip water: "Brother, that's right there, why don't you rub your waist, it hurts!"

: "Brother, I can't help it!"

Then he explained in a low voice, coaxing, coaxing, and being obsessed. The face of Prince Dun who was next to him was almost turning green. Chen Yi secretly looked at his deflated expression, feeling a little happy in his heart.

: "Then you compensate me! Starling, you are the emperor, shouldn't you be rewarded and punished? I have made great achievements, so you have to reward me!"

Then there were the sounds of jumping, struggling, and rolling, but they remained stalemate: "Presumptuous, let me go!"

: "Don't let go, don't let go, starling, I don't want to let you go! You don't even know how much I like you!" Such tsk tsk, is it a kiss?The emperor's voice gradually dropped.

Prince Dun beside him started to laugh, and cursed in a low voice, "Idiot!"

When Prince Dun joined the battlefield, the situation really changed a lot. Chen Yi, who was hiding behind the bed curtain, gritted his teeth and squatted, watching the clothes being thrown to the ground impatiently.He didn't understand a single word of all kinds of vague whispers, and only occasionally saw someone being pressed so hard that he couldn't move in the gap between the occasional bed curtain shaking.

In the following time, Chen Yi never heard that Qingyue voice again, except for the occasional light panting and low exclamation, the bed was shaken to pieces, but the people inside had no intention of stopping.But in such a gap, Chen Yi finally saw that face, he couldn't help but want to laugh, it turned out that the fate that the fortune teller gave himself was nonsense, what is the Yintang black, what is the Fengchi no water, you see The emperor looks nothing like this!

The next day, Chen Yi was carried back by someone, and then he lay on the bed for a whole day. Before he recovered, he was suppressed, given dumb medicine and burned his face with lime. His pain was really unbearable, but it healed his heartache.

The carriage creaked, but Chen Yi remained as still as a wood carving and stone sculpture. After walking for nearly a month, he stopped in Hainan. This time, Huan Cha was the one who sent him here. There is care.It's just that men who have experienced it are different, so Huancha won't say much more.

Handing over the title deed to Chen Yi, Huan Cha sighed: "Let's live a good life in the future, yesterday is like dying yesterday! You are only under thirty, and you still have a lot of good times!"

Seeing that he didn't respond, Huan Cha scratched the back of his head, and continued: "The masters have already shown mercy, so don't talk nonsense, it took a lot of work to save your life! The masters will still take care of you in the future Yes, don't worry!"

When Huancha left, Chen Yi didn't go to see him off, but when Huancha came back the next year, Chen Yi was able to look at him and open the door by himself. Open a coconut and pass it to Huancha.In the fourth year, Huancha brought Xiaolian over and told Chen Yi that Xiaolian voluntarily swallowed dumb medicine in order to stay by his side.

Looking at those familiar eyes, Chen Yi's eyes turned red.So that month, Chen Yi entrusted the elders in the village to marry Xiao Lian with great fanfare. Everyone said behind their backs that it is good luck to be dumb and marry a beautiful girl!

In the 20th year of Ding'an, Chen Yi took his youngest son to the county to apply for a boy student examination. When he came out, he saw a post post saying that Prince He Shuoying was coming here to watch the big ship sailing, and he wanted to talk to the devils outside. Guotongshang, Chen Yi stood for a while, and solemnly wrote down that date, no matter what, he wanted to kowtow to someone, right?Master and servant, I didn't even salute him once, no wonder I lost my sense of proportion later!

Holding his son and walking slowly, the southern sea breeze blowing leisurely, stepping on the shadow of banana flowers, Chen Yi couldn't help thinking, how did these ten years slip away from the palm of his hand?
