[Qing] Tuan's favorite gluttonous little prince

Early in the morning, Chang Hai went to the glass official kiln to light the Mao, and then came to the palace, ready to pick Yin Qi up to go out.

Yinqi is going to take the entrance exam of Shichahaimeng Academy today, and he will take it with him. His identity is a descendant of the Hesheli family, but he is raised in the same family. The important nephew, whose pseudonym is Hesheli Changqi.

Yinqi was overjoyed when he heard his alias, "So, am I now the younger brother of Erniang and uncle? Fourth brother, quickly call me uncle!"

Yinfeng: "..."

I don't understand where is the laughing point of this childish ghost?

Chang Hai never expected that when he was about to take Yin Qi out of the palace, there would be an unexpected surprise!

——The queen asked Cao Lan to go out of the palace with Yinqi to send off Cao Yin who was about to go south.

It was inconvenient for Cao Lan to meet Cao Yin in the palace, and she could not go out of the palace alone, so the queen arranged for her to go out of the palace with Yinqi and visit Cao's mansion with Yinqi as a maid.

On the way, Yinqi didn't realize that his stupid uncle was stiff all over, walking with the same hands and feet, chatting casually with Cao Lan.

"Lan'er, are you and Cao Yin really brother and sister?" Why is one so good-looking and the other not so good-looking?

Especially in the past six months, Cao Yin became the imperial bodyguard, and he often took turns with Rong Ruo. Standing together, he looked even uglier.

Cao Lan laughed and said, "The servant girl and the elder brother are the same Ama, but the elder brother is the eldest son, and the servant girl is just a concubine."

Cao Yin has been Kangxi's haha ​​bead since he was a child. He grew up in the capital, and he was not close to any of his brothers and sisters at home, and she was the same.

The purpose of Cao Lan's trip this time was actually to mention something about her brother through the secret instruction of the Empress Empress.

"Oh~" Half mother, Yin Qi expressed understanding, just like he and many brothers and sisters in the palace, there are good-looking ones like him, and unattractive ones like the second brother.

Yinqi thought of Rong Ruo, and also thought of Cao Yin and him seeming to have a good relationship, and suddenly thought: "When you marry in the future, you must marry someone who is good-looking like Rong Ruo!" Only then can you give birth to a good-looking child.

Chang Hai staggered.

Cao Lan panicked and stopped, "Fifth elder brother, please don't say any more, slaves are maids of honor, and they can't marry freely. Don't worry if others hear such words and cause trouble."

Chang Hai: "That's right, and brother Rong Ruo only has his 'Bai Yueguang' original wife, Lu Shi, in his heart. Anyone who marries him will be unhappy."

The words 'white moonlight' and 'unhappiness' were learned by Chang Hai from Mr. Jones' words.But he didn't know that these new vocabulary actually came from his second sister, the empress.

Chang Hai thought silently, Cao Lan is his 'white moonlight'.

As they spoke, the three of them and two guards left the palace, got into a carriage and rode on a horse, and headed for Meng Xuetang.

Originally, Cao Lan was not supposed to sit in the carriage as a maid, but she was so attractive that she would cause trouble if she appeared outside, so she sat in the carriage with her uncle and nephew.

Chang Hai didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and kept looking at the roof of the carriage.

Yinqi and Cao Lan chatted about the script, and soon the carriage arrived at Meng Xuetang.

Because Chang Hai has been in the limelight recently, they didn't have to queue up, and someone invited them to go in for the exam first.

With Chang Hai's 'backing', no one would dare to provoke Yin Qi here in the future.

Meng Xuetang's exam is very simple, as long as you can memorize a paragraph, how can this be difficult for Yinqi?

He finished reciting the "Thousand Character Classic" to the gray-haired old man in one breath, and he was going to recite the "Three Character Classic" again.

"Enough, enough, don't need to recite any more."

The old man stroked his beard and blew a rainbow fart at Chang Hai.

Yinqi has passed this. He has registered the basic information, received a wooden sign, and can go back.

Only then did Yin Qi take Cao Lan to the Cao Mansion.

Because most of the Cao family's main family and collaterals are in Jinling, Cao Yin is the only master in the capital, and the mansion was bought by himself, so it seems a bit small, but there are three people.

Cao Lan talked with Cao Yin's study room, and Yin Qi and Chang Hai walked around here over a cup of tea.

Yinqi felt bored, so he greeted Cao Lan and his sister, saying that he was going to Taotielou, and asked them to go to Taotielou for dinner after chatting.

Chang Hai turned his head three times in one step.

Yinqi finally noticed something strange, "Uncle, what are you looking at?"

Chang Hai didn't answer, but asked Yin Qi: "Fifth Master, I heard that you think Rong Ruo is the most handsome handsome man in Qing Dynasty?"

Yinqi: "No, he is the most handsome besides me."

Chang Hai clicked his tongue a little, and said with a smile: "Then you and Rong Ruo, who is more handsome?"

The two talked and got into the carriage.

Yinqi smiled and asked back: "Why is you not included in this question?"

"Hey, as expected of my nephew," Chang Hai scratched his head embarrassingly, "Then who is more handsome, you, Rong Ruo or me?"

"With you, it's easy to compare."

"Hey hey...so?"

Yinqi: "So, you are the ugliest!"

Chang Hai: "???"

Chang Hai: "Woo."

On the way, they passed Zhengyang Street and saw a long queue in front of a shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study, and they couldn't help being curious.

The police went to inquire and came back, and found that a storybook serialized by Mr. Jones in the "Beijing Weekly" had been published, and many people were queuing up to buy it.

"Which one?" Yinqi asked.

"The Scholar and the Oiran." The guard replied.

"Ah," Chang Hai suddenly said, "It's the story of a strange woman and a heartless man in troubled times. In this world, poor scholars are the most ruthless."

Yinqi: "This is the reason why you don't take the imperial examination as a scholar?" Isn't it because of his scumbag attributes?

Chang Hai laughed: "No, you are wrong, I want to take the imperial examination, and I have signed up for Qiuwei."

Yinqi looked at him even more strangely, as if he had taken some wrong medicine?

Chang Hai explained: "I was influenced by Mr. Jones, and I also want to be a learned person."

As he spoke, he ordered his followers to line up: "Buy three thousand copies for my father."

"!!!" Yin Qi was shocked, when did Chang Hai be so generous?

Chang Hai explained again: "Mr. Jones is someone I respect. If you buy it, you can give it to Taotielou for free."

"Okay." How can I not give it for free?

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.

At this time, Taotielou not only put on lights and festoons, but also jointly launched a mooncake gift box with Xianpinju.

Qiuqiu learned from Master Qi, and even made a lot of high-scoring five-nut mooncakes. Seeing Yinqi coming, he offered it like a dog.

Yinqi took a bite of the five-nut mooncake, nodded in satisfaction, and asked someone to wrap it up for him to bring back to the palace for Eniang to eat.

Erniang is super 'ugly and reject' Wuren mooncakes, but Yin Qi suspects that she has never eaten really delicious Wuren mooncakes before she finds them unpalatable, so bring some good ones and let her change her prejudice .

"Master, can I learn Beijing cuisine?" Seeing that he was satisfied, Qiuqiu took the opportunity to make a request, practicing basic skills every day, and he was really about to throw up.

"It will be a few days." Yin Qi asked the progress of Little Chef Qiuqiu, and learned that she has completed the main task to 105, but she is still close to 'experience value', so she has to wait.

Qiuqiu misunderstood that the 'bribe' was not enough, so she offered another radish lantern carved by her. The details are still a bit rough, but the overall look is very beautiful. It is very beautiful with candles, which is suitable for the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival.

Not long after, brother and sister Cao Yin came to the Taotie Tower, and Cao Yin invited Yin Qi to have a meal.

During this period, Chang Hai and Cao Yin talked happily.Chang Hai intends to show that the business of the past few years has been handed over to Cao Yin one after another. Hearing that Cao Yin hates meeting him too late, the two brothers get to know each other and agree to exchange letters in the future.

In the evening, Chang Hai sent Yin Qi back to the palace, the sky was already dark, but the pedestrians on the road were still very busy.

Although many people had passed the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first August among the people, many lanterns were still lit on the streets today, but there were no activities. Otherwise, we could see more delicate lanterns at this moment. .

Fortunately, there will be a Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet and Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in the palace on the evening of August [-], so Yinqi can still have a good time.

In the carriage back to the palace, Chang Hai looked at Cao Lan and said to Yin Qi, "Fifth elder brother, don't always call me ugly."

"Didn't you realize that I only say you are ugly and never say anything else?"

"Yes!" Chang Hai was annoyed, "Could it be that I'm uglier than everyone else?"

As he said that, he brought the topic back to Cao Lan, "Girl Cao, to be fair, am I really ugly?"

Cao Lan covered her mouth with a handkerchief and snickered, "My lord has a straight face and an extraordinary demeanor!"

Chang Hai was ecstatic in his heart, he didn't expect that Cao Lan would really praise him, "Ms. Cao has a good eye!"

Only then did Yinqi explain: "Of course you are not the ugliest, it's just that you are uglier than me and Er Niang, and the elder brother of the prince. Moreover, Er Niang said that you can't judge the appearance of an outsider casually, because I treat you as yourself People will give you advice, I hope you will work hard to look better."

"...Thank you for treating me as one of your own."

Yinqi didn't hear the irony, and said with a smile: "You're welcome, uncle, you are my favorite uncle."

"..." The corners of Chang Hai's mouth twitched, and after a while he asked again: "Can this thing like looks work hard to grow?"

"Of course, it is said that love is born from the heart, and a kind and personable person has a beautiful temperament, which is also very pleasing to the eye."

Chang Hai: "..." I believed in your evil!

Chang Hai: "Despite this, I still don't want you to call me ugly, because it will hurt my fragile heart."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Yin Qi guiltily took out 100 taels, "Here."

"what is this?"

"Give you the mental damage fee, comfort you."

"……I do not want!"

"why?"

"Why?! If someone says you are ugly, would you like 100 taels?"

"Of course!" Yin Qi said, "I'm just ugly, not stupid!"

Chang Hai: "???"

Cao Lan: "Pfft."
