Pet official

"It's time for brother Xi to be enlightened. You prepare for him. I'll ask Xiao Changfu to send brother Xi to the imperial study some other day, so he can study with his brothers."

Sun Jieyu was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the thirteenth prince to kowtow to the queen, "I still don't thank the queen. Brother Xi has been thinking about going to the study for a long time. This child is the most filial, and he often tells me that when he grows up, he must be good." After being filial to your mother, share your worries with the prince and brother."

"Who wants you to be filial? The queen mother has my own son, and the prince's elder brother also has my own brother. In the future, I will take care of him, and I don't need you to pretend to be courteous!" There was a shout outside the window, followed by footsteps, a red The boy in clothes rushed in quickly.

The young man was about ten years old, with white face and red lips, and handsome appearance. He was dressed in a red brocade robe, covered with a fur-trimmed cloak that looked like charcoal, stepped on a pair of buckskin riding boots, and held a riding whip in his hand. He walked in like a gust of wind. into the house.

The young man looked arrogant, as soon as he entered the room, he glanced coldly at Sun Jieyu and the thirteenth prince who were on the soft couch.

It doesn't matter if you look at it, the young man saw the thirteenth prince leaning on the empress's arms, the empress was hugging him, and was talking softly, he suddenly became furious, stepped over, and pulled the thirteenth prince's ear, ruthlessly Twist hard, "Who allows you to lean on my mother? Go away!"

Sun Jieyu's face changed color, and she didn't dare to scold the young man, so she panicked and said repeatedly: "Prince Ten, you want to teach brother a lesson, I dare not stop you, but you must be careful, Brother Xi I'm still young, but I can't stand your rough hands and feet."

The thirteenth prince yelled in pain, with big tears rolling down his eyes, "It hurts! It hurts! My brother hurts!"

The Tenth Prince's face was full of disdain, and his subordinates exerted another three points of strength, cursing: "When you unscrew your ears, you scream for pain, and you cry until you blush and have a thick neck, like a girl, how stupid!"

Sun Jieyu was about to cry too, and hurriedly asked the queen for help, and the queen reprimanded softly: "Song Ke, if you mess around again, Mr. He will beat you up, and you still don't let go of your brother!"

Only then did Song Ke let go, bowed respectfully to the queen, stood up, stood quietly for a while, then returned to his original shape, with a rascal face, threw himself into the queen's arms and acted like a baby, "Mother hasn't seen me for a few days , I miss you."

The queen smiled kindly, stroked Song Ke's head, and said with a smile: "Mother has been busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet these days, and winter is approaching, and the palace is warming up, buying cotton clothes, charcoal, etc. , I am so busy that I have no time to see you. You also said that if you don’t see you, don’t you know how to come to say hello to your mother? "

"Hey, I'm here, mother, hey."

Song Ke was very useful, he hugged the queen and couldn't stop acting coquettishly, the vicious Yaksha look just now disappeared immediately, Ruan Yunqing was surprised when he saw it, and said to himself: "Eunuch Cui is right, this little overlord should really be hiding. Look at him changing his face like flipping the pages of a book, he can even beat and scold his concubine brothers at will, in his eyes, these slaves, I'm afraid they are not even human beings."

Sun Jieyu looked at the red marks on her son's ears, feeling distressed and annoyed at the same time, but she couldn't afford to offend her, and didn't dare to get angry, so she stood for another moment before bidding farewell to the queen, and took the thirteen princes out with tears in her eyes. Shuyu Pavilion.

Song Ke didn't look at him directly, Sun Jieyu went out of the house, he had no more scruples, took off his cloak, kicked off his boots, climbed onto the soft couch, sat cross-legged, and told the queen about the things in the imperial study. fun.

"Old man He is really annoying. His son said Shiyun, he was long-winded and bearded. He stood and talked for two or three hours, and he didn't feel tired. Hehe, let me and the second boy of Jiang Shilang's family sneak into his robe A lot of black ink was smeared on it, and he was still pouting his beard and muttering, mother, you are not ridiculous!"

When the queen heard the words, her face darkened, and she said angrily: "Nonsense! Mr. He is the prince and tutor, a great scholar in the world. Those who want to study under him are like crucian carp crossing the river. You don't know your blessings when you are in the blessing, so don't study hard. Kneel down! Xiao Changfu, bring the board! You must give me a good beating today, let’s see if you dare."

Song Ke was grinning, showing no trace of fear, showing seven points of cunning, three points of innocence, looking at Queen Wei rascally, and shouting in a long voice: "Mother! I don't dare anymore, this is not enough."

The queen couldn't hold back immediately, and smiled helplessly: "You... hey, mother is also for your own good, your prince's elder brother's body... in case he can't wake up, the seat of the prince in the future must be yours. If you don't make progress, what can mother do to compete with Concubine Shu and Concubine De?"

Song Ke asked anxiously: "What's wrong with the prince brother? Didn't you say the day before yesterday that the poison has been controlled, and if you pull the poison a few times, my brother will wake up?"

Song Ke looked anxious, completely sincere, the queen looked at her son, opened her mouth a few times, but hesitated to speak, and after a long time, she slowly said: "You don't need to take care of the prince's affairs, as long as you listen to your mother, Remember that everything my mother does is for your own good. That's fine."

Song Ke didn't know why, but saw his mother's sad face and frowning, thinking that she was worried about the prince's health, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Mother, don't worry, the prince's elder brother is a lucky person with his own celestial appearance, and he will surely turn bad luck into good fortune. Wake up as soon as possible. He also promised to teach me riding and archery, and he will definitely not break his promise."

The queen forced a smile, and sighed softly: "Your elder brother has his own good fortune, as long as you study hard and learn more about how to govern the country from your father and Taifu He, mother will feel at ease."

Ruan Yunqing stood in front of the window, the more he listened, the more strange he felt, the way the empress talked about the prince was completely different from the way she treated the tenth prince.The crown prince is unconscious, but the queen doesn't seem to be worried. Whether she talked about it with Sun Jieyu or with the tenth prince, it doesn't matter.Empress Wei had a delicate face and a dignified demeanor, and she usually spoke in such a cold tone. Before the tenth prince came, Ruan Yunqing listened to her and didn't feel that there was anything wrong.But later when the tenth prince came in, the empress saw her youngest son, her tenderness, pampering, and caring words seemed to jump out from every word, and it was so different from the plainness when she just talked about the prince. , Ruan Yunqing had to feel suspicious.

what happened?

The crown prince, like the tenth prince, was the son of Queen Wei. In the years before the crown prince was born, the queen had given birth one after another, four in a row, all of whom were princesses.At that time, Concubine Shu Gui had already given birth to the eldest son of Emperor Hongyou. If the empress could not give birth to a son, according to Taizu's legacy, her succession would soon be lost.Afterwards, the heavens finally showed mercy, the empress gave birth to her fifth child, and she finally had a son. When the crown prince was born, the whole country celebrated with joy, even Emperor Hongyou was very happy.

It stands to reason that the son who was finally obtained, and because of this son, the queen's position in the harem is more stable, and she should love him even more. Why now, there are such things that don't like the prince, but prefer The situation that hurts Song Ke?

Could it be that he had misunderstood something and had an illusion?Or is it because in front of Sun Jieyu, the queen deliberately put on such a plain look?

Ruan Yunqing thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out the root cause. After thinking about it, she couldn't figure it out. Looking at the queen and Song Ke in front of her, the mother and son were in harmony, Ruan Yunqing couldn't help feeling sad for the prince: It seems that no matter where, there are Eccentric parents, and unfavored son.

After clearing everything that day, the sky darkened, Ruan Yunqing and Hepingxi cleaned the tea room, and then came out of Shuyu Pavilion.

Ruan Yunqing walked in front, and Ping Xi followed behind. The two walked slowly along the corridor in front of Shuyu Pavilion. The autumn wind blew in, and the air was dry and cool.

As soon as he left the door, Wang Changan led the two people over. When he saw Ruan Yunqing, the polite and ambiguous smile of the previous few days had long since disappeared. With a straight face, he waved and shouted: "Ruan Yunqing, I will demote you from tomorrow onwards!" Go back to the handyman's room! Hand in your badge!"

Hearing that, the two rushed up, held Ruan Yunqing, pulled off his waist badge, and rushed towards the handyman's room.

Ping Xi was terrified, no need to ask, it was because Xiao Changfu saw that Ruan Yunqing refused to commit the crime, so he became angry from embarrassment, and demoted him back to the handyman's room.If it's just that, it's fine, I'm afraid Xiao Changfu will be cruel and won't let it go, Ruan Yunqing went back to the handyman's room, and I don't know how much torture and grievance he will suffer.

There were still many eunuchs and maids on the road. They had already arrived at Shuzheng, and the queen was eating dinner. The eunuchs and maids shuttled past, fetching things, carrying food boxes, delivering water, and playing fans. They were very busy.

Many people saw Ruan Yunqing being escorted, pushing and shoving to the back room.Some people sneered and cursed secretly, some gloated and pointed, all of them looked like they were watching the excitement for fun.The rest were indifferent, glanced at it, then lowered their heads to do what they were doing.

Ruan Yunqing was pushed staggeringly, and before he could stand still, the person behind him slapped him again, pushing him almost to the point of gnawing on mud.Wang Chang'an beat Ruan Yunqing's back with his fly whisk, cursing all the way to the door of the handyman's room.

Eunuch Cui, Zhou Jun and other young eunuchs were busy in the small kitchen. Hearing that Ruan Yunqing had been demoted back, they hurriedly put down their work and went out to have a look.

Wang Changan pointed at Ruan Yunqing and scolded: "I don't know good and bad things. Eunuch Xiao praised him, but he didn't take Eunuch Xiao seriously. What do you do with such a little bastard? I'll throw you into Huanyi instead." Going to the bureau, soaking in cold water every day, and having clothes that can’t be washed every day, come here in two days, I will let you know how salty is salty, and vinegar is sour! You also know the benefits of thinking about Eunuch Xiao!"
