I heard my brother is a tyrant

The kitchen brought up the dishes she ordered first, and each food was two dishes, one dish of squirrel mandarin fish, one dish of steamed mandarin fish, one dish of dried Longjing shrimp, and one dish of stir-fried shrimp with light yellow and diced things. What.

"What is this?" Xie Dan asked first.

Chun Jiang hurriedly replied: "My lord, the kitchen said that this is honey fruit, which is also called mango in the local area. It was sent by Yunjian Mansion on a fast horse. It tastes sweet and sour. I have seen it before, and it is a kind of green-red fruit. , if it is fully cooked, it can be eaten raw.”

Xie Dan nodded, knowing that it was a tribute sent by Chen Lianjiang, he had eaten Miwangguo, but he didn't like sweet and sour taste, and the Imperial Dining Room had never presented this dish.Xie Dan gave Ye Chu a spoonful and put it in a small dish in front of her.

Little girls probably like sweet and sour taste, but this dish is not too sweet and sour. The mango meat and fresh shrimp are slightly fried, crisp and refreshing, with a special fruity aroma.Ye Chu immediately changed his mind, gave up his beloved mandarin fish, and ate a few spoonfuls of mangoes with shrimps.

Now that the emperor was back, the kitchen had to quickly add a few dishes. After Ye Chu had shrimps and mangoes, he tasted Longjing shrimps and steamed mandarin fish, and slowly ate half a bowl of rouge rice. The dishes were finally ready.

Xie Dan served her half a bowl of seasonal vegetable and mushroom soup, Ye Chu drank a few sips, then put down his chopsticks and asked for tea to rinse his mouth.

The faces of the four springs froze, and each of them held their breath and became anxious.According to the rules in the palace, when eating in front of the emperor, other people can start eating when the emperor moves his chopsticks. Before the emperor finishes eating, other people have to accompany him.Not to mention the palace, the same is true of ordinary dignitaries.

But just now, Xie Dan only took food and soup for Ye Chu, and stared at her to eat. He hadn't even eaten a few bites yet, and the girl just put the chopsticks on her own.

"I am full?"

"Yeah." Ye Chu nodded and praised himself, "I've improved a lot today, and I ate a lot. Brother, I'm not feeling sick today, and I'm already fine."

Xie Dan smiled, seeing that she had finished eating, she concentrated on filling her stomach.He eats fast, even when he eats vegetables, he likes to choose some easy-to-eat dishes, without pricking or spitting out bones. Chopsticks, serving tea to rinse mouth.

Sichun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time updated his cognition again.

"Go and tell the kitchen, the girl has a weak spleen and stomach, so she shouldn't eat too much. In the future, the meals don't have to be so diverse, but should be less and better. Also, the girl can't eat heavy oily and spicy food, and don't bring fried and cold snacks." .”

After Xie Dan finished giving these instructions, he put down the teacup and looked at Ye Chu, and said, "An An, brother, tell you about Ye Fu's family."

Ye Chu's premonition that something was wrong became more and more obvious, how could a nephew call his uncle by his name directly.She nodded and asked, "Brother, what happened?"

Xie Dan got up and took her little hand, walked to the front and sat down together.He had made up his mind about this matter a long time ago, so he thought it over and said bluntly: "An'an, brother lied to you. Ye Fu's identity is fake, not uncle, he is actually an old servant of our family."

Ye Chu really didn't expect the answer to this mystery, he was a little dazed for a while, and looked at Xie Dan with his small mouth slightly open, looking a little silly.

After Xie Dan finished speaking, he stopped, watched her expression, and waited for her reaction.

The little girl was at a loss for a moment, then Ruan Ruan asked slowly: "And then?"

Xie Dan understood what she was asking, so he continued.

"Our family was originally a wealthy family. Later, when we were murdered and our family was destroyed, my brother took you and escaped. The man is very powerful and wanted to kill us. He has been chasing us, so I had to take you to the southeast. A remote place. Later, when my brother became an adult, he wanted to come back for revenge, so he couldn't take you with him, but we didn't have any other relatives, and no one could take care of you. So my brother found Ye Fu, who used to be our family's guard , his wife, He Shi, is also the maid of the family, so I decided to entrust you to their care. In order to make you feel at ease, and to deceive others, I pretended to be an uncle-nephew relationship."

"Also..." Xie Dan paused, hesitated and said, "Ye Ling and Ye Hui are actually not Ye Fu's daughters, they are my subordinates, the people I sent to protect you."

Ye Chu asked in a daze, "Isn't it my cousin?"

Xie Dan shook his head.

The spring and autumn style of his words made the matter roughly clear, but also vaguely concealed a lot of information, such as his own identity and her life experience.

Ye Fu's real name is not Ye Fu, he was originally a guard of Zichen Palace, He's a court lady, and also a fellow of Ye Fu's hometown.After Emperor Yanshi killed the king and usurped the throne, he massacred and eliminated Emperor Sejong's people in the palace. Ye Fu took advantage of the chaos and took the He family to escape from the palace and married.The two of them didn't dare to return home, so they hid in the folk life, and were later selected by Xie Dan to take care of Ye Chu.

After Xie Dan finished speaking, he looked at the little girl quietly, waiting for her to accept this matter slowly.

Ye Chu digested silently for a while, and asked, "Then what about now, where did they go?"

"It's in this mansion. I'll temporarily place them in Kuayuan." Xie Dan took her hand, wrapped her small hand tightly with his big palm, and couldn't help but feel a little relieved in his heart. Although his An An was innocent and pure, But he is very smart and clever. At such a young age, he can handle it calmly when he heard about it. He didn't cry in surprise or complain. It seems that he has understood and accepted it.

Xie Dan said sternly: "Brother, I'm telling you now. Firstly, because this matter can't be concealed after all, it's not good to keep it from you. Secondly, I want to hear your opinion on what arrangements Ye Fu and the others should make in the future. My brother has already taken revenge and is capable of protecting you. Now that you are in the capital, if you feel embarrassed and don’t want to get along with each other in the future, I will give Ye Fu and his wife some more money and let them return to their hometowns to enjoy their retirement and enjoy the blessings. , Ye Ling and Ye Hui are naturally useful to me. If you still want them to stay by your side, then you will be the master and they will be servants. The status of master and servant has been determined. Letting them follow you is also their blessing. .”

"Cousin will also be my maid?"

"No," Xie Dan said hastily after hearing her tone, "Both of them know how to fight, so staying by your side is naturally your bodyguard."

Ye Chu thought for a while, then said slowly: "This matter... is a bit big, it happened suddenly, brother, let me think about it again."

"Don't worry, think about it slowly." Xie Dan changed the subject and asked, "Tell me first, brother is not at home, did you eat well in the morning? What did you do this morning?"

Ye Chu said: "The milk steamed eggs I ate in the morning, I really like the taste of milk, they are delicious."

Xie Dan knew that she was in Luzhou, so she would not be short of food, clothing and food, but milk is not easy to transport and store, and dairy cows are easy and difficult to raise, so they are rarely eaten.People from Tai Hospital said that the weak can eat more milk, Xie Dan smiled and said: "Since you like it, let them make more for you in the future, and milk can also be made into many tricks."

Ye Chu agreed, and told him that she named the maid and went to the back garden.It's just that the back garden is too big, so she just walked to the lotus pond in the garden and sat in the waterside pavilion, fed the koi in the pond for a while, and then came back.

Xie Dan commented on the names of the four springs, and said with a smile: "Not bad, my An'an is also a talented woman. If I were asked to pick them up, I would probably pick up Gua'er, Li'er, Tao'er, and Zao'er."

Ye Chu said solemnly: "It's not bad, just read it in your mouth, it makes people want to eat it."

Xie Dan couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, Han Ziyun was basking in the noon sun, waiting outside the palace gate.He was anxious and restless, but he tried to keep his face as calm as possible. After waiting for a long time, he couldn't help but started pacing back and forth.

"Third Master, here we come!" The attendant said hurriedly.As soon as Han Ziyun raised his head, he saw Xuan Pinghou hunched over slowly coming out, and Han Ziyun hurried over.

"Father, how is it?"

"It's all right, let's go back first."

After getting into the carriage, Xuan Pinghou let out a long sigh of relief, and leaned against the wall of the carriage to wipe his sweat and pant.Han Ziyun wanted to ask but couldn't bear it, so he let go a little in his heart, at least Xuan Pinghou walked out all by himself.He was even worried just now, whether his father would be pushed out by the guards the next moment to question him.

"I'm fine." Gudong Gudong drank a cup of tea, seeing his son's anxiety and worry, Xuan Pinghou smiled and said, "I'm fine as a father, don't worry, His Majesty said that merits are merits and demerits, and he never asked Take the entire Xuanpinghou Mansion to question."

"Then why did you come out, my son almost died of anxiety."

"For my father, I came to wait for the court before the fifth watch. After the court was over, His Majesty called me to the Zichen Palace for questioning in private. I really couldn't bear it anymore. It was Eunuch Chen who found a place for me to rest for a while before walking out all the way."

The rules of the imperial palace are strict, and the courtiers can only rely on two legs to enter and exit the palace. Xuan Pinghou, who has just recovered from a serious illness, is wearing layers of court clothes, facing the sun in early summer, walking out the long palace road all the way, and can only sigh A sentence is quite old.

"I'm old for my father." Xuan Pinghou sighed, paused and said suddenly, "Your Majesty asked about you today."

"Me?" Han Ziyun was surprised.

"I was summoned by the Zichen Palace today, and my father was in a cold sweat. It seems that His Majesty already knew about the matter involving your eldest brother and the former second prince. This matter has always been the most taboo, but His Majesty only said that he is dead, and the crime should not implicate his family. "

Xuan Pinghou looked puzzled, stared at Han Ziyun and said, "Your Majesty asked about you and said that you are quite talented and worthy of employment, but you never mentioned your second brother. Why do I listen to what your Majesty said, as if he intends to support you?" ?”

Han Ziyun was also taken aback.

The Hou Mansion needs someone to inherit it, but the seniority is orderly, and if the eldest brother dies, the second brother Lun will not be able to take his turn.Besides, the family of Xungui has always valued heirs and eldest sons, his elder brother is the eldest son, and the second elder brother is also serving in the army, but he is the only one who does not have a serious military position even though he is at the border. It should be said that he has always been the least valued among the brothers one already.

How could His Majesty know him if he hadn't returned to Beijing for more than ten years, and why would the Emperor look at him highly?

Xuan Pinghou stared at Han Ziyun seriously, wondering in his heart, maybe the holy will only asked him to make meritorious deeds, and his intention was wrong?

"In short, for my father's face-to-face, I deeply feel that although your majesty is still young, he has deep thoughts, does not show emotions, and governs the country with iron and blood skills. This time, your majesty is so lenient to my Han family, and the grace of heaven is mighty. You Ah, there is no need to hide your clumsiness in the future, and you must not disappoint His Majesty Long En."

Xuan Pinghou patted his son's arm, deeply sighing.

If he knew that the emperor himself rode a horse to the house and ate all the meals, and was accompanying his precious sister to eat after dinner, he didn't know how he would feel.

Thinking that she had just eaten, it would be better to get up and take a nap before taking a nap, so Xie Dan took Ye Chu to her small study room and told her: "My brother has to go to the palace every day to be on duty, so I'm afraid he won't be able to do it during the day." Always at home, come back as soon as possible in the evening, and take time to teach you how to read and practice calligraphy. You should be good at home alone, and you can ask Chang Shun to find me if you need anything."

"Yeah." Ye Chu obediently nodded in agreement, and asked, "Brother, is it hard to work in the palace? People say that accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger. Will the emperor be difficult to serve?"

Xie Tan's eyes were dim, and he twirled his thumb and index finger subconsciously, raised his hand to touch the back of her head and said with a smile: "It won't be hard work, don't worry, there is nothing difficult for my brother to work in the palace. An'an, you have to remember that the emperor is also a human being." , People all have love, hate, hatred, emotions, and desires, and the emperor also has people he loves and cares about. For the emperor, the people he likes and is close to are good for everything, and they will never be difficult to serve."
