I heard my brother is a tyrant

There is no rest in Chongyang, and Xie Dan goes to court early in the morning as usual.When he returned to the Zichen Palace after the court, the servants hurriedly served breakfast and a plate of flower cakes.

Chen Lianjiang bowed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, on the Double Ninth Festival today, the Empress Dowager ordered Miss Chu Six to send the Double Ninth Flower Cake, saying that Miss Chu Six made it herself. Please try it. The Empress Dowager asked you, I’m going to spend the holidays with her today.”

Xie Tan opened his hands and asked the servant to change his clothes, and asked calmly after hearing the words: "Why, my imperial dining room can't even afford flower cakes?"

Chen Lianjiang's scalp tightened immediately, he hurriedly confessed his guilt, and asked someone to replace it with the Double Ninth Flower Cake from the imperial dining room.

Xie Tan didn't say another word, changed his clothes, had a casual meal, and then went back to the main hall to deal with political affairs.

Here, Chen Lianjiang sent a servant out of the door, and told Chu Liu, who was waiting outside the hall, what the emperor wanted. The Double Ninth Festival was not a big festival. His Majesty is too busy with government affairs today, so he will not go there.

The servant said: "Miss Chu and the Empress Dowager please report back. Your Majesty is really busy with political affairs today. The servants looked at him and seemed to be angry again in the early court. He just summoned some important officials and iron armored guards to come in."

When Chu Liu returned to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, he couldn't help feeling a little angry.Although she is a sixth grader, she is the granddaughter of the serious head of the Chu family, and she is a little arrogant in her heart because of her status.It has been a while since Chu Liu was called into the palace by the empress dowager, and the harem has no edicts to step out of the harem, but she can use the name of the empress dowager to run to the front of the imperial court.It's just that she sent soup and snacks to the Zichen Palace a few times, but she never saw the emperor once, and she never entered the gate of the palace.

Chu Liu Yuyu returned to the Palace of Compassion, reported the matter to the Empress Dowager, and couldn't help complaining: "Auntie, the emperor's cousin is too shameless, I personally sent him soup a few times , he didn't even let me in."

The Empress Dowager said: "That's the emperor. You are in the palace, so you have to calm down."

"But grand aunt, do you know that His Majesty seems to often go out of the palace. I wonder if he has raised someone outside the palace, or just has a sweetheart outside the palace."

"Ridiculous!" The Empress Dowager stopped the rosary in her hand and scolded, "That's the emperor, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If he really likes any woman, he can just take him into the palace immediately. Have you ever heard of any emperor who still uses it?" Keeping out of the house?"

"But Your Majesty really often goes out of the palace in private." Chu Liu said earnestly, "Grandmother, you really don't know? The people in front of the imperial court are too tight-lipped, and my father didn't find out for sure. It is true that some people saw the emperor often go out on horseback, so it can be seen that he always goes out of the palace in private, he is the emperor, and the whole palace belongs to him, but he still wants to leave the palace secretly, what do you think you can do?"

Chu Liuyue felt more and more reasonable when he said it, and said firmly, "I'm afraid that the woman is not from a good family. Your Majesty is afraid of being criticized, so you want to keep him as a concubine. If you have a sweetheart, then this woman must also come from a low family background, and she will not be able to get in the world." mesa."

The Empress Dowager said: "The more you talk, the more absurd. He is the emperor, what kind of woman does he want?"

"I have evidence." Chu Liu hastily argued, "More than a month ago, Jiangnan paid tribute to three golden makeup flowers. As you know, there are no high-ranking concubines or queens in the palace. The material is worn by young girls. I thought that if there is such a decent one in the capital, I have to count it as one. So a while ago, I went to Shanggong Bureau in your name to ask for one, and they even said that it was sold. Your Majesty stayed. But I have never heard of which mansion His Majesty rewarded."

"So he probably gave it to women outside the palace. I have also paid attention to the poetry fairs and flower appreciation banquets in various prefectures these days. No noble lady wears that material. You can't even go to the flower banquet, it must be because of your low birth."

"Chan'er, speak carefully!"

The Empress Dowager scolded, frowned and said: "Where are you in the palace? Even the Compassionate Palace of Aijia can't talk casually. Tell your father quickly that the emperor is strong and wants to chop and kill at every turn. Who in the court is not cautious now, he dares to spy on the emperor's traces, and stretches his hands in front of the imperial court, if he is caught, it will be a serious crime!"

"Grandmother..." Chu Liu argued strongly in a low voice, "We all know that spying on the imperial court is a serious crime, but we all know that every family in the court can ignore the palace. I will tell my father to be more careful later."

"Forget it, the Ai family will call your grandfather back into the palace and remind him well. You dare to say this nonsense. I know a little bit about the emperor's departure from the palace. He didn't secretly carry people behind his back. He went to the city In the east area, that is a camp of the armored guards outside the palace. Otherwise, how would the emperor dare to go out often. Who are the armored guards? It is the emperor’s knife to kill people. Flies and mosquitoes should stay away from them. Tell your father to stay away. Get yourself into trouble."

The Empress Dowager slowed down and said, "It's just a few pieces of clothing. The emperor has never cared much about these things. Maybe he just disposed of them casually. Just throw them in the storeroom. There is no shortage of rare things in the palace."

Chu Liu muttered: "But the first time we met last time, His Majesty rewarded the meeting gift, and Eunuch Chen sent someone to send two bolts of satin at random. If he paid attention to it, it happened to be at that time, and I thought it would be weaving What about Jinzhuang Hualuo? If I get that material, it will be enough to overwhelm the noble girls in Beijing."

"That's enough! You've been made to go all this way just for the sake of Zhijin Hualuo?!"

The Empress Dowager put down the teacup heavily, supported her forehead with some headaches and said, "Chan'er, you are the granddaughter of Chu's family, and your grandfather still counted on you to enter the palace to have a bright future and protect the family. Now the Chu family has Ai family to protect you." I mean, if you don't live up to your expectations, once the Ai family is no longer here, the Chu family should be in decline. But look at you, you only think about pinching your head, clothes and jewelry all day long, you are really spoiled. Alas Everyone now doubts whether they should let you enter the palace!"

The words were serious, Chu Liu's face turned pale, and he bowed his head for a while and began to admit his mistake.

The empress dowager sighed.As the youngest daughter of the head of the family, Chu Liu has always been pampered and spoiled, but now she has no better candidate, and she does not expect to push the daughter of the concubine or the daughter of a side branch to the back seat.

The eldest sister of Chu Liu, the second daughter of the Chu family, was raised by the family as a concubine since she was a child. She was originally betrothed to the second prince of Emperor Yanshi, but now she can only be sent to a nunnery.

Although there were quite a few daughters in the Chu family, those who could be married, those who were engaged, those who should be married had been arranged long ago. As a result, Xie Dan rushed out to regain the throne, and the Chu family suddenly had no suitable daughters.

In Ye's house, Chu Liu's long-cherished weaving gold makeup flower was made into a skirt. Ye Chu wore it once, but he didn't like it, because it was too fancy.She prefers those clean and bright solid colors, and her clothes are embroidered, and they are also in less conspicuous colors and patterns.

One was used up for making the dress, so the remaining two were forgotten in the storeroom.

Xie Dan came back when the sun was in the west. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Ye Chu wearing a green pipa-sleeved jacket with an apricot-white long skirt, bright yellow skirt and skirt, which looked like a small tree from a distance. Chinese cabbage.At this moment, Xiaobaicai was crossing Xiaoman's waist, pouted her small mouth, and stared at the parrot under the eaves.

"Hehe, why is this?" Xie Dan suppressed a smile.

"Brother, you are back."

The little girl turned around happily, and then heard the parrot call out repeatedly: "Brother, brother."

"You're still barking!" Ye Chu complained, wrinkling his nose, "Brother, this parrot is so annoying, it's been calling brother, brother all day long."

"Well, who did it learn from?" Xie Tan said in a teasing tone, "Why do you keep calling me brother?"

Ye Chu felt a little embarrassed, and said with an embarrassed face: "It's not his brother, let him keep barking and barking, noisy." As she spoke, she suddenly twisted her waist, tilted her head, and screamed sweetly while pinching her throat. He said, "Brother..."

The nine bends and eighteen bends of this elder brother's cry are as if mixed with honey, and the bones of the caller are crisp.Xie Dan didn't know what she was going to do, so he hurriedly suppressed a smile and agreed, "Hey!"

Sure enough, the parrot on the shelf also called: "Brother, brother..."

"Did you see it? It's my brother. I asked him to agree. Can you call to see if he agrees?"

The parrot was still jumping up and down and calling: "Brother, brother..."

Xie Dan couldn't help laughing out loud, of course he didn't dare to agree to the bird, he couldn't help laughing, while pulling her into the room, he deliberately said to the maids: "Hurry up and teach that bird a lesson, you're too courageous Ah, how dare you talk back to your girl."

The maids in the room also bowed their heads and held back their laughter. A little maid ran out, and soon she was teaching the parrot how to talk under the eaves: "Girl, girl..."

"Brother, why did you come back so early today?"

"Isn't this the Double Ninth Festival? Have you eaten the flower cake?"

"Eat, I wore dogwood and a golden chrysanthemum when I combed my hair in the morning, but unfortunately you didn't see it." Ye Chu asked, "Did you wear it?"

"Your brother also has a golden chrysanthemum on his head?" Xie Dan smiled, and motioned her to look at the sachet with dogwood on his waist, which was tied by the morning attendant.

He washed his hands in the basin brought by the servant girl, wiped them clean with a handkerchief, and then held her little hand and sat on the bed, saying, "While I'm at home, I'll ask Xu Yuanzhi to come over later. "

It was a bit windy outside, Xie Dan didn't dare to let her go out, so he played pot throwing with her in the room for a while, while discussing what to have for dinner, Ye Chu held the arrow shaft and thought for a long time, saying that he wanted to eat something soft , Moist meatball soup.

Not long after, the servant girl came to report that Doctor Xu had arrived.Xu Yuanzhi didn't come here by himself this time, but also brought a doctor Li. He knew that Ye Chu didn't like strangers, and suddenly she felt awkward seeing a strange doctor, so Xie Dan specially stayed at home and asked the two to come today. .

Compared to Xu Yuanzhi, a regular customer, this is the first time that Dr. Li has come back. Although he knew it well before he came, he has become nervous since he entered the house. Behind Xu Yuanzhi.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he peeked at Xie Dan wearing a moon-white brocade robe and throwing pots there with a smile on his face. Imperial Physician Li was really startled, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Who doesn't know that His Majesty is cold and indifferent, unable to distinguish between emotions and anger, and the murderer in the hall just frowns slightly in annoyance, always indifferent.But this one in front of me, like the breeze and the moon, looks like a noble and gentle son of some family.

Thanks to Xu Yuanzhi who gave him some hints in advance, he didn't make him lose his composure.The two came in and hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying: "I have seen Mrs. Ye, I have seen Mrs. Ye."

"Excuse me." Xie Dan took the arrow shaft from Ye Chu's hand and put it aside, took her to sit down on the bench, and explained to her, "This Imperial Physician Li is good at nourishing ointments, and Imperial Physician Xu specially recommended it to me." , so I asked him to come and show you."

Although he has been enthroned, not all of them are trustworthy people in the Taiyuan Hospital, but fortunately, he has almost mastered it after this year.Now that Xu Yuanzhi is serving as a court judge, with the support of the emperor, he can gradually take control of the Imperial Hospital and appoint some loyal and reliable personnel.

Xu Yuanzhi is not without selfishness, Ye Zhai is very important, if something goes wrong and the emperor wants to kill someone, it is always good to have a few more people to help him with the consultation.

Ye Chu hurriedly smiled and thanked: "Thanks to Imperial Physician Xu, I feel much better. It's just that I'm a little weaker. In fact, I don't have any serious illnesses. It's just that my brother is worried about this and that. Please trouble the two imperial physicians. "

The two imperial physicians hurriedly said that they did not dare to take the role. Imperial physician Li did not dare to raise his head after entering, his eyes were only on the lichen linen blanket woven with dark red and silver auspicious cloud patterns, and he could not help but be full of curiosity when he heard the girl's soft, sweet, slow voice. He didn't dare to look up.Finally, when it was time to feel the pulse, I boldly looked at it through looking, smelling and asking, and was shocked again.

The two discussed the pulse, and the imperial doctor Xu cupped his hands and said to Xie Dan: "Young lady has been taking the medicine to regulate the spleen and stomach and raise the heart yang since the beginning of summer, and she has seen great improvement. Now in autumn and winter, the two low-ranking officials are discussing, It would be better to use some nourishing ointment."

Xie Dan said: "Spring and summer are easy to raise, but autumn and winter are different. In the past, she always makes people worry about her every autumn and winter, and she coughs easily. Is there a way to prevent it?"

Doctor Li said that you can use more soup and herbal diet to moisten the throat and clear the lungs, and add a pear paste.Xie Tan asked about taboos and so on, and asked them to prescribe prescriptions, and several ointment prescriptions had to be made by Taiyi Li himself.

There are many taboos on the food, let alone for the nobles, so as a witness, Xu Yuanzhi took the initiative to say that he will make the ointment with Dr. Li, and the two will deliver it together when the time comes.

"Well, then it's all up to you two."

With Xie Dan's polite words, the two of them got up to leave, and Ye Chu hurriedly asked Chun Jiang to see the guests off.

It wasn't until he left the outer courtyard and was far away from the gate of Ye's house that Imperial Physician Li wiped off his sweat vainly, and sighed to Xu Yuanzhi in a low voice: "No wonder His Majesty loves you so much, such a delicate and beautiful woman is really... ..."

He originally wanted to say that I felt sorry for him, but when he said the words, he felt that he was presumptuous. He was the emperor's man, so he quickly changed his words and said, "It's really shocking."

Xu Yuanzhi knew much more inside information than he did, so he just smiled and said: "There is always a shortage of stunning beauties in the world, but not everyone has this blessing. The girl is weak in the womb, she must be taken care of slowly, Your Majesty is reluctant to part with her After drinking bitter medicine for many years, I specially sought you out. So even if you make ointments, the efficacy of the medicine is of course important, and you must pay more attention to the taste."

Doctor Li hurriedly bowed his hands and said yes.Xu Yuanzhi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are now His Majesty's confidant, and you have been in great use for half a year since you first entered the imperial hospital. You have a bright future, and you will do your best in the future, but you must take care of this little master." alright."

The dinner kitchen sent two meatball soups, one chicken soup boiled fish balls, added tea tree mushrooms, the soup was clear, delicious and mellow, one vegetarian, tofu ball soup, added finely chopped cabbage, the fragrance of tofu Fried just right.

It’s just that the little girl doesn’t know what her taste is today. She likes the soup in chicken soup with boiled fish balls, but she also likes the tofu balls in vegetarian soup.

Xie Dan knew that she actually liked the taste of mushrooms, such as tea tree mushrooms in the soup.The tea tree mushroom is stewed together with chicken soup and fish balls, and the soup is extra delicious. The soaked tea tree mushrooms are chewy, so the fish balls look bland.

Xie Dan simply asked the kitchen to send a plate of freshly fried tofu balls. The tofu just fried in hot oil is fragrant, and the skin is still crispy when bitten. Soak the soup in the fish balls, and then pick a few tea tree mushrooms into it. The little girl with big meatballs ate four and drank two small bowls of soup.

It looks like I ate a lot, but in fact, I just make my stomach full.Xie Dan had no choice but to call the servant girl: "Go and tell the kitchen to bring the girl a late-night snack, radishes and the like are easy to restrain."

Ye Chu actually didn't have the habit of eating supper, mainly because she went to bed early and her spleen and stomach were weak, and she was afraid that she would accumulate food after eating before going to bed.On the contrary, Xie Dan has the habit of eating late at night. He is in his early twenties, when he is physically strong and eats a lot, and he often has to deal with political affairs, so he goes to bed late, so he should be hungry.

So after dinner, Xie Tan simply took her to his study room, a big book case, she read and practiced calligraphy, and he read a few memorial articles beside him, the little girl took it for granted, and was not very interested in the boring articles in his hands .

After the time of Xu, the kitchen brought over their supper earlier than usual, a steamed radish cake, served with a small dish of mushroom sauce and longan red date tea, it looked like it was prepared for Ye Chu, while Xie Dan's was a bowl Bone beef soup and several kinds of lo mei and dim sum.

The two of them didn't change places again, Xie Tan slightly moved the books and papers in front of him aside, and asked people to put the meals on the desk.

After a long time, the people who served in front of me were very winking, put down the tray and quietly retreated, leaving only the two of them alone.

Xie Dan's supper was an hour earlier than usual, and he wasn't too hungry, so he picked up the warm wet handkerchief on the tray and wiped his hands, first put carrot cake to feed her, and Ye Chu put down his brush to eat seriously thing.

This radish cake is made of shredded white radish, mixed with minced lean meat, chopped green vegetables and shiitake mushrooms, steamed with eggs and a little proofed batter, cut into pieces and arranged in a diamond shape.This kind of combination will be more delicious if it is spread into cakes and fried in hot oil in an iron pan, but if it is greasy to eat at night, the kitchen will change it to steam according to Ye Chu's taste, and eat it with sauce, the taste of shredded white radish will be extra fresh Fragrant and soft.

While eating, Ye Chu was bored and picked up the few pages he just read to read, it seemed to be an article explaining some kind of official administration.

She asked casually: "Brother, you are the commander of the guards, aren't you a military officer? Why do you still read these articles that go around all the time?"

"A military officer should also be able to understand official documents of the court, right?" Xie Dan said calmly.

He looked at her and couldn't help smiling, the little girl was really good at fooling around, and it was fun to play tricks on her and fool her.He felt that even if he took the papers back for approval one day, as long as he told her what he, the commander of the guards, should read and what the emperor asked him to approve, she would be able to fool her around.

It's so cute, she believes everything he says anyway.

Xie Dan couldn't tell what was on his mind, she was so cute that people wanted to hug him, he put down his chopsticks, took her from the chair with one arm, and let her sit on his lap.

The little girl didn't feel anything wrong at all, and adjusted her posture consciously, she turned sideways to face him, sat on his lap, leaned against the table, and calmly waited for him to feed her.Xie Dan was afraid that her back would be too hard against the table, so he subconsciously wrapped his left hand around her, between her and the edge of the table, picked up a piece of steamed radish cake with his right hand, dipped it in sauce and fed it to her.

He has been extremely skilled in feeding her since she was a child. Sometimes, in order to coax her to eat a few more bites, he has to chase after her with a bowl.

The autumn wind blew through the panes, and a few large candles on the candlesticks illuminated the study brightly and warmly. Under the candlelight, one was feeding without distractions, while the other was concentrating on eating.

The author says:

In the middle of the night, the red envelopes of the little girl Achu randomly dropped!
