The correct way to open the first favorite concubine of Ming Dynasty

(Hanwang perspective)

The guard announced in a long voice that the Lord Long Live had arrived.

My young and mature nephew, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe with a collar and narrow sleeves, strode in with a heroic look on his brows.

It reminds me of my father when I was young.His outline and demeanor resembled his father's, which became more and more like that every year.No wonder his father loved him.This child was born as dark as a sweet potato, after the full moon, before Jing Nan, the father hugged him and showed off his white and fat grandson to others all day long.

He's not that big brother.

The eldest brother looks like his mother, with a clean complexion, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and loves to hold a book in his hand all day, like a Confucian scholar.

When I was a child, my eldest brother was not fat and his legs were not lame.He can ride a horse, he is not weak, and he can draw a big bow.He is proficient in all six Confucian arts.Grandpa Huang liked him, and once said to his mother: "The children you taught King Yan are very good, especially the eldest brother." He rewarded us with many things, and the eldest brother got more rewards, which were looted by me and the third child. , Big Brother doesn't care.

Father placed very high expectations on him, and restrained him very strictly, but he was much more relaxed with me and the third child.

The prince's younger brother is going to study in the Dabentang set up by the emperor's grandfather.Back to the palace after school, the third child and I went to play Cuju, the elder brother probably didn't go, but just went to the study.Sometimes Dad came to test his homework when he was free.At this time, my mother felt sorry for his hard work, so she specially made some snacks for him.

Mother's craftsmanship is good, not only my third child and I calculated the time to steal the snacks mother made for my eldest brother, but even my father came to test him, eating while taking the test, eating more than us.Once I watched most of the dim sum on the plate go into my stomach, and I dared to ask my father: "Father, are you here to steal the dim sum?" Is it called stealing? Dad came here for the 'Shun' dim sum." And I took a blow from my dad.

The eldest brother's dim sum was swept away by us, and he was still laughing and not talking much after suffering a loss.

My eldest brother got sick later, maybe it was my fault.

I haven't thought about it for too long, and I have forgotten the exact age. Anyway, I am still a young boy.

The reason is that I heard that there are servants in the palace who stole the master's tea to drink.

The elder brother took pity on them from poor backgrounds, said that they were nothing more than tea leaves, and was willing to cover them up.

I don't want to go into details, but because I heard that there are poor people who can only drink bitter vegetable leaves soaked in water for a lifetime, and have never drank tea, I wonder what people in the palace are drinking now.So I pulled the third child together, under the pretext of trying to see who stole our tea, and went to the back kitchen to steal a few pots for the servants to drink.

The light brown water was poured into the cup, I stuck out my tongue and licked it, and the third child also took a sip, it was so bitter that the two couldn't keep their mouths from ear to ear for a long time.The eldest brother was laughing, and the third child and I went up to hug him and poured him a big glass no matter what.

All three of us started to have a fever that night.

At that time, my father was not there, and my mother was alone, taking care of a Yanwang Mansion, taking care of us, a total of seven brothers and sisters. It was hard work, and the three sons fell ill at the same time. , I was so tired that I lost a lot of weight, and my cheeks were sunken.

In a few days, the third child and I recovered, but the elder brother was sick for a longer time.When his fever subsided, his legs lost strength and could not be controlled.

The imperial doctor said that our illness may be due to unclean diet.

When father came back and learned that the eldest son was lame, he was furious and wanted to send the servants in charge of meals to prison for questioning.The eldest brother said that it was he who was thirsty when he went to the back kitchen to check, and used the pots used by the servants without authorization, so it is not the fault of the servants.Conceal the mistakes made by my third brother and me, and even take the guilt on my own head.

Father was still furious, and was persuaded by his mother and eldest brother. In the end, it was the emperor's grandfather who decreed that all the people who were in charge of meals in the Yan Palace should be disposed of.

I never apologized to my brother.The third child probably didn't either.

It's too heavy.I can't afford it.

The elder brother never mentioned it again.

In the next few years, my parents searched all over the world for famous doctors and elixir, but nothing worked.The eldest brother still walks with a limp.

Seeing that my mother was haggard because of this, the elder brother said that he was dead.

The mother shed tears and refused to obey, and the eldest brother said that although he was not in good health, he "will not fall into the blue sky".

The mother agreed to him.But I guess my mother did not give up seeking medical advice until she passed away.

He talks about ambition, but in action, he obviously doesn't like to go out to meet people.Since his legs and feet were bad, he was more and more bored in the study all day long, riding horses, bows and arrows, and never touching them.

When he went to study in Dabentang, some cousins ​​made fun of him with his legs, but he just kept silent.The third child and I jumped up several times waving our fists to beat them, but the eldest brother advised us to "don't cause trouble".

Among the cousins, Ji Xi from Jin Wang’s family spoke the least pleasantly. Finally, the third child and I got a chance to push him to the ground and kicked him a few times. His mother, Princess Jin Xie, ran to Grandpa’s Concubine Guo Ning and pretended to cry. , so that my mother was forced to go to give an apology again.

I still remember that my mother didn't scold us when she came back, but instead touched our heads and said softly: "Good boy, you two have grown into little men, and you know how to protect your brother." She just didn't allow us to easily use force with others.

These juniors dare to be so arrogant, we can roughly guess how their father, queen, mother and concubine talk about our family affairs on weekdays.Probably my parents were also very bitter in those days.

But no matter what, the eldest brother always treats me and the third child very well, and the three of us are very harmonious.

The mother favors the elder brother more, and I think it should be.

Zhanji entered the room surrounded by a crowd of palace officials and attendants, and looked at me coldly.

My mind was still in the past, and I forgot to salute. A little eunuch behind him, whom I had never seen before, scolded sharply: "Han common people, don't kneel down when you see the Lord Long Live!"

This dog slave dares to ride on my head.I sneered and said, "When our uncle and nephew meet, it's your turn to speak!"

He was suddenly kicked behind him, and his knee hit the ground heavily.I heard Zhanji say: "I would rather not have an uncle like you."
