prince's concubine

"Cousin? Where's the cousin?" Li Rui asked very seriously, but the smile on his face was a superficial smile.

"Far away, cousin." Zhong Min's head drooped, and his hands holding the tea bowl became tighter and tighter.

"Far away? How far away? So far away that the king can't find it?" Li Rui suddenly put the tea lid in his hand on the tea bowl with a "snap!" The abrupt sound was especially loud in the silent house.

"Ah!" Zhong Min was so frightened that he couldn't sit still, and fell to the ground directly. The tea bowl in his hand was also overturned, and all the hot tea was poured on him.

"...What's wrong with you? Are you hurt?" Li Rui was also taken aback, stood up all of a sudden, and squatted down to see if Zhong Min was hurt. He didn't expect Zhong Min's reaction to be so serious. He wanted to test and test her, and took the opportunity to intimidate her, maybe the truth would come out, but he just tried it, and he was so frightened!

Now it's the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Zhong Min's body was severely damaged since he was a child, although he was dressed a little more than ordinary people, but the hot tea from this cup still scalded his flesh, causing him to grin his teeth in pain for a while!But he fell to the ground again, his butt fell to the wood, and he couldn't get up for a long time.With tears in my eyes, I can't tell how pitiful I am!

Li Rui's heart twitched violently, "Is it hot? Let me see..."

In a hurry, even "the king" was changed to "I".

Zhong Min knocked off Li Rui's hand stretched out to his chest with a "snap", "...I'm fine."

Li Rui froze for a moment, raised his eyes and bumped into Zhong Min's ashamed and angry face, and then suddenly remembered that his action was a bit too much. For some reason, seeing Zhong Min's angry expression, an unknown place in his heart seemed to There was a strange feeling slipping by, and so fast, so fast that he barely had time to grab it, it was gone.

"Akun, go and ask the doctor!" With a little embarrassment, Li Rui withdrew his hand, but after hesitating for a while, he reached out to help Zhong Min who fell on the ground. He couldn't stand up for a while.

"No need!" Zhong Min hurriedly stopped while rubbing his buttocks, "I am a doctor myself, why should I hire a doctor?" If I really called a doctor, wouldn't everything be leaked!

"It's really all right?" Li Rui glanced at Zhong Min's wet dress, then at Zhong Min's butt rubbing movement, frowned slightly, and asked worriedly.

"It's okay." Zhong Min covered his chest with his hands, and lowered his eyebrows, "The concubine wants to go back first, please..."

"Ah Chen," Li Rui said immediately, "Go ask Manager Tang to prepare the sedan chair, send Jiu Yiniang back immediately, and report to the king immediately after making sure that Jiu Yiniang is okay. In addition, ask the kitchen to send some soup to promote wound healing. Jiu Yiniang's place."

"Yes," Ah Chen looked at Zhong Min in a different way, and hurriedly retreated to look for Tang Jian.

"Xie Ben Wang!" Zhong Min never thought that his accidental hotness would be a blessing in disguise, and he immediately rolled his eyes with a smile of joy.Originally, he just wanted to avoid Li Rui's constant questioning. Although he fell a little harder, he finally diverted Li Rui's attention.

Li Rui could only sigh speechlessly when he saw it: What a foodie!Just talking about eating that delicate little face will brighten up.

Zhong Min went back happily and with great fanfare.But I don't know how much misunderstanding Li Rui's "wound healing soup" caused to the whole palace!Zhong Min was once again pushed to the top of the wave. This time, almost everyone in the palace knew that the prince favored Zhong Min. Zhong Min suddenly became the topic of everyone's discussion this night, envied, jealous, and cursed. , aggrieved, all kinds of people.

Zhong Min, the protagonist of the topic, has no idea that he has become the center of discussion in the entire palace. At this moment, he just wiped the scald medicine on himself, cleaned his hands, and comfortably enjoyed the soup and tonic and the sweet and delicious food sent by Li Rui. fruit.Thinking that it didn't take long for him to enjoy such care, he even felt a little disappointed in his heart. Realizing this, Zhong Min shook his head resolutely and threw this absurd thought out of his mind.

In fact, a person who has not received care for a long time, suddenly someone cares about you, no matter whether he is sincere or not, he will be moved at the moment of being cared for, this is human nature, normal, but you can’t give up just because of this caring Your own ideal, isn't it?A free life is what Zhong Min has been longing for and pursuing.All those things that shouldn't be expected are all taken away!What's more, he shouldn't have such emotions that are different from ordinary people.

Zhong Min grabbed another grape and threw it into his mouth. The taste was still so delicious, but suddenly he felt that something was missing. Zhong Min frowned, and stuffed several grapes into his mouth.

"Jiu Yiniang, please slow down, be careful..." Before the words were uttered, Zhong Min was startled by the sudden voice, and got stuck by accident, and suddenly burst into coughing, which brought tears to his eyes.

Dongmei, who was talking, was suddenly overwhelmed with fright, and hurried forward to pat Zhong Min on the back, but was stopped by Zhong Min with his hand, at this time Bingyan heard the movement outside and rushed in,

"What are you still standing there for, bring a glass of water for Jiu Yiniang!" Bing Yan hurriedly stepped forward for Zhong Min and shouted at Dong Mei.

Dongmei just woke up like a big dream, and went to fetch water.

When the water came, Zhong Min didn't drink it right away, but let Dongmei put it on the table.She also regained her strength and glared at Dongmei angrily, "You should make a noise when you come in, it will scare people to death!"

"Slave, I called you, but you didn't make a sound. I thought you knew it, but I dared to say it when I saw my aunt was eating anxiously. I didn't expect..." Dongmei confessed with a bitter face, "I beg Jiu Yiniang to forgive me." !"

called?Why didn't you hear me?Is... I was thinking too hard?

Zhong Min frowned, a little uncertain, Dongmei had always made him feel suspicious, but when he was distracted, she suddenly came in and made a sudden noise, which almost caused him to be stuck to death by grapes, no matter how he thought about it, Dongmei was on purpose.

"From now on, don't come into the back room without my order!" Zhong Min said.

"Nine aunts and slaves really didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me this time!" Dongmei suddenly knelt on the ground and begged, her voice a little louder.

"Miss..." Bingyan also planned to plead for Dongmei when she saw her.

"Shut up!" Zhong Min glared at Bing Yan, and his face suddenly sank.If it was just a little suspicious just now, it is basically certain that Dongmei did it on purpose, otherwise she would not suddenly raise her voice.Because just now Zhong Min seemed to hear the voices of Yang Liyan and other aunts from outside the house.

"Are there any rules in this house? Don't you understand what I'm saying? Or is it that my temple can't afford you as a god?" Zhong Min sneered and threw the teacup on the table to the ground. There was a knock on the table, "Bingyan, go and invite Manager Tang here, I can't afford Dongmei."

"Jiu Yiniang, you can't do this!" Dongmei rushed over with a scream, holding Zhong Min's leg with both hands and was about to start howling.

Zhong Min flicked his foot, Dongmei didn't hug her, and was surprised when the door curtain was lifted and someone walked in.

"Hey! What's the matter? Tsk tsk, now that you've been favored, you're immediately showing off!" Yang Liya, the empress dowager's niece, was the first to speak.

Dongmei immediately knelt on the ground and began to cry when she heard this, crying so badly!

Zhong Min frowned, not only because of Yang Liya and others' sudden visit, but also because of Dongmei's inexplicable crying.The timing was so coincidental, he wanted to see what this group of people wanted to do?

"Oh, sister, don't dare to talk nonsense. The prince is fresh at the moment. If Jiu Yiniang is angry and blows at the prince, the rest of us will be kicked out like this girl!" The fourth aunt Ji Huishu who liked to show off in his room and was banned.

I didn't pay attention for a while, and I didn't expect that the time of confinement has passed.

Zhong Min gave Bingyan a look, then put his legs on the soft bed and covered it with a soft blanket, and lay on his chin with his hands on his back. When he heard Ji Huishu's words, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Four My sister is really amazing, she can even guess what my sister is thinking, really amazing! The fourth sister must have learned witchcraft, and I will definitely recommend her to the prince later on."

Although he still doesn't know why they came here, it must be that the visitors are not kind, so he naturally doesn't need to be polite to them!And this Dongmei, today's behavior is really puzzling.

No matter how stupid Bingyan was, she felt that this was a bit unusual, and immediately went to pull Dongmei, who was crying and fell to the ground, and wanted to take her away, but Dongmei just lowered her head and cried, and couldn't move her at all.Seeing that these aunts are obviously looking for trouble, but Dongmei, who is usually obedient and well-behaved, suddenly becomes so willful and incomprehensible, Bingyan is also alert.

"You've just learned witchcraft!" Ji Huishu, who originally wanted to use this to suppress Zhong Min's prestige, heard Zhong Min's words, and her beautiful and pretty face turned pale with fright!Hastily said angrily.Who doesn't know that witchcraft was the most taboo in the Southern Dynasty. During the first emperor's time, a favored concubine in the harem was once executed by everyone because of misuse of witchcraft!

"Ninth sister can't talk nonsense! She will kill her head." A soft and elegant voice sounded quietly, with a soothing taste.

Zhong Min raised his eyebrows and saw that it was Liu Anyue, the seventh aunt who rarely went out on weekdays. Standing beside her were the eighth aunt Cao Hua and the third aunt Shi Qingyu.Except for Sixth Aunt Luo Yuyan and Fifth Aunt who were still locked in the house, almost all the women in the backyard gathered in his room.Zhong Min slightly hooked the corners of his lips sarcastically.

"Really?" Zhong Min blinked innocently, "Then I don't know why my sisters came to visit suddenly?"

While speaking, Mother Liu had brought Chuncao and three girls to serve tea, and when she saw Dongmei sitting on the ground crying, she raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Dongmei, why are you here?"

"Mama Liu, save me!" Dongmei cried more and more sadly when she saw that Mama Liu's seemingly lost child had suddenly found a home.

"This is..." Mother Liu looked at Dongmei in astonishment, then at Zhong Min.

Before Zhong Min could speak, Ji Huishu seemed to have found an opportunity to get back to the round and immediately snatched the words away:

"Oh, this girl must have offended your aunt! It's really unlucky. Although you used to serve the prince, your status is better than ordinary people, but who made you so careless and now you are offended, the prince's new favorite! Recognize bad luck!".

"Fourth sister..." Liu Anyue quickly tugged on Ji Huishu's sleeve.He looked at Zhong Min modestly.
