I heard my brother is a tyrant

In the middle of the night, it was passed on to the imperial physician, not to mention that it was the first time in their house since Xie Dan ascended the throne.Chang Shun was in a hurry, and took two guards to run there in person, but he didn't wait for Xu Yuanzhi to dress neatly, so he slipped them in.

Xu Yuanzhi's residence is in this alley, so he was dragged to the gate of Ye's house, and the belts on his jacket were not tied neatly.

The emperor was young and strong, so Xu Yuanzhi instinctively thought that Ye Chu was feeling unwell, so he went straight to the back house with the medicine box, entered the main courtyard's vertical flower gate, but was taken by Ye Ling to Xie Dan's courtyard.

Xie Dan was standing behind the desk and was practicing calligraphy again, but the small regular script was a bit messy. While writing, he caught sight of Xu Yuanzhi coming in. Xie Dan simply put down his pen and walked over from behind the desk.

"Your Majesty, Sheng'an." Xu Yuanzhi settled down and bowed to salute.

"Excuse me." Xie Dan walked to the small table and sat down, thought for a while, and then asked directly, "Xu Yuanzhi, if a person is greatly frightened and forgets many things, will he recover his memory later? ?”

"Your Majesty, amnesia due to shock..." Xu Yuanzhi thought for a while and replied, "The so-called fear makes you angry, and shock makes you angry. After ordinary people are stimulated by extreme shock, they will indeed experience memory confusion and amnesia. They need to calm down. Generally speaking, after the physical and mental relief, you should be able to recover on your own. However, the symptoms vary from person to person, and I need to know the specific condition."

Xie Dan pondered, but then asked: "Have you met before?"

"I have encountered it." Xu Yuanzhi then mentioned a patient, an old woman, who caught a big snake from the door knocker when she opened the door at night. She was so frightened that she yelled and passed out. I couldn't remember it anymore, and I begged ghosts and gods to take medicine, but there was no improvement. After a few months, I gradually recovered on my own, and my memory was restored.

"Can it recover by itself?"

Xu Yuanzhi said: "It's not necessarily true. Some people can recover within a few days or months, and some people have forgotten it and can't recover. The disease is in the brain, and it's mysterious. I don't have enough knowledge, so I don't dare to say it."

He hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, can I ask who the patient is and what his condition is? It may not be cured after treatment, but medicine stone acupuncture may help the recovery of the disease."

"I would rather she forget about it from now on." Xie Dan sighed silently, pondered for a moment, but said: "Let it be, let me think about it first."

In front of her, she is living happily every day, and he only hopes that she will be carefree from now on, why do she have to think about those things?

Xu Yuanzhi already had a clear guess in his heart, if it was someone else, the emperor would not have summoned him in the middle of the night.

Xu Yuanzhi hesitated for a moment, but finally he said boldly: "Your Majesty, forgive me, as a doctor, you need to have a comprehensive grasp of the patient's medical history. Only when you take medication can you be more cautious. If you don't know the medical history and confuse the diagnosis, you may cause delays. Made a mistake."

Xie Dan struggled again and again, but still said: "The girl was frightened when she was young. She had a high fever and was ill for a long time, and then she forgot her childhood memories. Recently, she dreamed about some things from the past."

Xu Yuanzhi hurriedly asked: "Miss, did you remember?"

"Not really, she just thought it was a dream." Xie Dan said after a pause, "She was young at the time, and she didn't remember much at first, so she probably won't remember it anymore. Maybe I'm just asking for trouble."

"Yes, I understand." Xu Yuanzhi could only say.

Since it was a fright, it was not something worth remembering. The emperor didn't let him treat it, so Xu Yuanzhi could only know what he knew.

"Come back tomorrow and ask the girl for a peace pulse. She has a lot of dreams at night, so she can also take some soothing medicine."

"Yes."

Xu Yuanzhi bowed to leave, and Ye Ling followed suit, sending Xu Yuanzhi out.Xie Dan returned to the desk, picked up the pen again, changed to a piece of rice paper and continued to practice calligraphy.

He tried his best to calm down, but couldn't suppress the irritability.

Wei Chen asked him at night when he would tell the girl her life experience, Xie Dan didn't think about it.After all, she is 13 years old, and it is impossible to hide his identity from her forever.

It's just that she was still so young, and she had just returned under his wings, so that he could pamper and love her to his heart's content.

Therefore, Xie Dan was not in such a hurry about identity and background.If he had to let her remember those fearful memories, then he would rather let her be his elder brother for the rest of his life.

Anyway, the world belongs to him, and so does his sister. What he wants is her safety and happiness.

Xie Dan didn't sleep until late at night, got up the next day willfully, and let the courtiers dove the courtiers with peace of mind in the morning.

The servant came to report twice, seeing that the emperor had no intention of leaving, and seeing that it was time for the morning court, he asked, "Your Majesty, do you want someone to tell Eunuch Chen that the morning court is suspended today?"

"No, who said it was suspended?"

The little servant quickly apologized, thinking that you should go, and I haven't seen you like this before.As a result, Xie Tan got up, but passed on the breakfast first.

When the emperor did not arrive, the civil and military officials did not get permission, and they did not dare to disperse, nor could they go back to the court room and sit and wait, so they had to divide into two teams and stand in Xuanyuan. --/According to a y? Hua/Waiting in front of the government hall.Waiting until the sun was three poles high, it was time, and I saw the emperor's guard of honor coming from the direction of Zichen hall from a distance.

The courtiers stood one by one for a long time. It was already cold in the early morning of late autumn. They were afraid of paying respects and did not dare to eat or drink.

Sitting on the chariot, Xie Dan just smiled in his heart. These people are all high-ranking and powerful, and they eat the king's salary. It doesn't matter if they are full of secrets in the sun.

As a result, all the civil and military officials are exhausted, and they can't wait to retreat to the court to rest. Even a few people who want to make a long story have no energy. It happened early, but it was over in just a moment.

Xie Dan returned to the Zichen Palace, and took the initiative to send someone to tell the Empress Dowager that the emperor's dragon body is not in good condition, so he will not be going today.

The Empress Dowager couldn't believe it. She looked at the rows of fat and thin ladies in the palace, and asked, "What's wrong with the emperor today?"

"Your Majesty said that you have a headache. I'm afraid it's due to the exhaustion of the state affairs these few days, and the morning court has been delayed." Chen Lianjiang bowed and said, "Your Majesty said that the selection of palaces is made by the empress dowager, and the elders are the ones who make decisions about civil marriages. For such a big matter, he naturally listens to you. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"Your Majesty said that the front court and the rear palace are integrated, and the face of Cheng Enhou and Wei Guogong is still to be given."

The empress dowager couldn't help but have a subtle expression on her face.Cheng Enhou is her natal Chu family, and the emperor specifically pointed it out. Although for the empress dowager, Chu Congchan's entry into the palace is already a certainty, she will let Chu Congchan enter the palace no matter what. But the emperor ordered it specifically, and brought Wei Guogong with him.

Duke Wei is an important minister in the court, and his son Wei Shen is the emperor's confidant and commander of the Iron Armored Guard.Duke Wei didn't have a daughter of the right age, so he sent Wei Linbo, a legitimate daughter of Sanfang, to run for the election.

As the confidant of Emperor Sejong, Duke Wei's Mansion was exiled to the South of the Five Ridges by Emperor Yanshi before, and was summoned back after Xie Dan ascended the throne.The Empress Dowager was not sure whether Xie Dan wanted to support the Duke of Wei, or if he really fell in love with the woman, but since the emperor made it clear, he could only do as he said.

The Empress Dowager nodded and said: "The Ai family knows. You go back and pass on the imperial doctor to the emperor. The dragon body is important."

In the first draft since the emperor ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager presided over the draft and selected five noble daughters step by step.

In the afternoon, the Ministry of Rites presented the list to Xie Dan, and Chu Congchan and Wei Linbo were indeed on the list, and the remaining three Xie Dan looked at it and asked, almost all of them were within his expectations, and they were all the same as the Empress Dowager. Department of people.

The next day, Xie Dan went to the Empress Dowager's Palace to pay her respects, and completely followed the Empress Dowager's wishes, and accepted the positions of five beautiful women.Chu Congchan named the second-rank concubine Shu, and the remaining four, including Wei Linbo, were all concubines of the second rank. They were not given titles, so they were called by their surnames.

After all, they are the daughters of important officials in the court, and it doesn't look good if they have a low status.Just in this way, Chu Congchan suddenly became the highest ranking concubine in the harem.There was an undercurrent in the court for a while, and they speculated privately whether the emperor really intended to make the daughter of the Chu family queen because of the empress dowager.

Chu Congchan was very proud. The canonization was completed before evening, and the emperor's reward also arrived. It was completely in accordance with the palace practice. Chu Congchan's reward was slightly higher, and the other four were the same, impartial.

The concubines who had just entered the palace couldn't hide their joy and prepared carefully, waiting for the emperor to summon them to bed.

However, for many days in a row, the emperor seemed to have forgotten that he still had a bunch of concubines, and he never stepped into the harem.

And because there was a decree long ago, the concubines could not step out of the harem without an edict, let alone go to the imperial court, and the concubines had no other way to see Sheng Jia.

Except for festivals, the emperor would come to the empress dowager's palace every few days to pay his respects, but that was not always the case. He might also send Eunuch Chen to pay his respects on his behalf when the state affairs were busy.The joy and excitement of the concubines when they first entered the palace gradually went wrong, but the Empress Dowager's palace was quite lively, and the concubines went to greet the Empress Dowager every day alive and filial.

***

There was a little rain on the previous holiday, which made Ye Chu very disappointed, and when the next holiday, the autumn was clear and the sky was clear, Xie Dan kept his promise and took Ye Chu to the Zhuangzi to play.

When they arrived at Zhuangzi, they went to the main courtyard to settle down first, burned incense for Mrs. Ye, and the group went to the persimmon forest.

Sure enough, when the autumn frost struck, the persimmons became extraordinarily red. The leaves on the trees were all gone, and the branches were covered with red persimmons. Looking from a distance, the whole forest was as bright as red clouds, against the desolate autumn colors, it became more and more interesting. Exuberant.

Knowing that the master's family is coming, the villagers spread red felts in the forest early, placed tables, chairs and benches, refreshments and fruits, and brought melons, fruits, vegetables, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits produced by the village.Mo Zhuangtou was so busy that he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

The harvest in the Zhuangzi was good, especially because the host family treated them leniently. Xie Dan didn't buy this Zhuangzi for the purpose of harvesting and making money.The farmers live a relaxed life and know how to be grateful. After finally looking forward to the arrival of the master's house, they can't wait to send all the good things together, for fear that something not thoughtful will make the master's family unhappy.

The persimmon forest is on a sunny slope, the autumn sun is shining brightly, the weeds under the feet are all withered and yellow, and there is a layer of fallen leaves, which makes it soft to step on, quite rustic. Take a walk in the woods.

Ye Chu climbed the lower branches, picked the persimmons carefully, and asked, "Brother, there are so many persimmons, do you want to make persimmons?"

"Yes, when it's ready, someone will send it to you."

Xie Dan stretched out his hand to lower a branch, and asked her to pick a big round persimmon, and said with a smile, "Zhuangzi knew you were coming, so he kept it unpicked, otherwise it would have already been picked by now, pick it off and peel it to make persimmons. You can eat it here."

"I'll make some myself later on." Ye Chu put down the small basket, looked up at the tree to pick out the big persimmons, and asked, "Brother, why do you know everything? You know everything better than me. You made persimmons before. ?"

"I saw someone do it before. You were still very young at that time."

Ye Chu just looked up at the tree, but she didn't stand firmly on her feet, so she staggered, Xie Dan supported her, smiled and said angrily: "Stay still, no one is going to grab you, so you fell somersault It's nice."

Ye Chu clasped his arm to stand firm, and asked curiously, "Brother, what did I look like when I was young?"

"When you were young..." Xie Dan paused, and thought of the most appropriate words, "You are so cute and lazy, when you see me, you just open your hands and say 'hug', and you don't want to walk by yourself. "

"Is there, you are lazy." Ye Chu imagined for a while, laughed to himself, pointed to a tree and asked, "Brother, why is that persimmon different, it's so big."

"Those are Mopan persimmons. Those in your basket are round persimmons." Xie Dan looked at the tree, but she couldn't reach it, so he said, "Shall I pick one for you?"

"No, I want to pick it myself." Ye Chu turned his head to look at the place covered with red felt in the distance, pointed and said, "Go and help me get a taller stool."

"This tree is so tall, you can't reach it with a stool, just in case you fall again." Xie Dan squatted down calmly and said, "Come here, brother will carry you."

Without saying a word, Ye Chu picked up her skirt and rode it skillfully on his neck. Xie Dan raised her hands to support her, and stood up steadily. This height is high enough to pick whoever she wants.

The guards were all on the outskirts, and the farmers were afraid of offending the nobles, so they were all sent away by Mo Zhuangtou. Ye Ling and Ye Chu took a few maidservants to guard by the forest, and looked at each other silently when they saw this situation.

Ye Ling turned away politely, while Ye Hui secretly gave Ye Chu a thumbs up:

Ah Chu is amazing, you are the only one who dares to ride on the emperor's head.

Ye Hui looked at the trees full of persimmons and was anxious, the emperor only took the girl in to play in such a big forest, she wanted to play too, she also wanted to pick persimmons!

"Your Majesty and the girl are going to rest later, please watch over for me, I'm going to pick a big basket to make persimmons." Ye Hui murmured to Ye Ling in a low voice.Ye Ling ignored her.

Mo Zhuangtou said that he had killed two sheep, and when Xie Dan and Ye Chu had had enough fun and came back with a basket of persimmons, Mo Zhuangtou came up and asked them if they wanted to eat roasted whole sheep or boiled mutton in a pot.

Ye Chu asked curiously: "Is roasted whole lamb a whole lamb? Can it be cooked?"

Mo Zhuangtou hurriedly explained: "Girl, make sure it is cooked well. There are people in our village who have stayed in the Northland Grassland. They can roast a whole sheep, let alone a cow. They are very good at roasting."

Just as Ye Chu wanted to speak, Xie Dan said first, "Mutton pot."

"??" Ye Chu turned to look at him.

Xie Dan coaxed her with a smile: "The roasted whole lamb is so smoky, girls don't like to eat that, it's better to use a mutton pot. Chang Shun has already seen it. It's a big pot. It's bigger than the copper pot you wash your face with." The basin is even bigger."

Ye Chu hesitated for a moment, still curious about how to roast a whole sheep.Xie Dan coaxed again: "Hey, we are a clean and beautiful girl like An'an, we don't eat such rough things. If you want to eat, ask them to cut mutton slices and grill a few skewers for you. Be more precise."

At most, let her taste something like roast lamb, how dare she eat more.Besides, a whole sheep was brought up to be roasted, and it was bloody, he didn't want her to see it.

"Okay, fine then."

Ye Chu nodded, thinking that if his brother said it was not delicious, it must be bad.

She sat down on the chair, and the servants were busy. First, they carried two large vermilion lacquer screens and surrounded her for half a circle. Soon, two women brought up a brass pot as big as a pot, and set it on fire. Take the silver charcoal and pour in the mutton soup with bones.In addition to a few large plates of thinly sliced ​​mutton, there were also a dozen or twenty kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables on the table.

It was the first time for Ye Chu to eat pot in the fields and forests, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the red persimmon grove, he felt that the food cooked in the pot had a wild taste.

The freshly slaughtered lamb is very delicious, but Ye Chu can't eat much lamb. I like a few green and fresh vegetables. Put the tender and raw cabbage in the lamb soup and put it in the soup after a little scalding. Don't get too hot, dip it in The shiitake mushroom sauce with sesame seeds is extra refreshing and delicious.

So Xie Dan was busy helping her to blanch the vegetables. The tender cabbage, the soft chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, the green rapeseed, and the boiled autumn radish and pumpkin had absorbed enough of the mutton soup, making it very soft and tasty.When she was almost done eating, Xie Dan began to attack the two large plates of mutton slices on the table.

Ye Chu pinched a grape and put it in his mouth to get rid of the tiredness, then picked up the chopsticks again, busy boiling mutton for Xie Dan.

The little girl was full of patience and finesse, she slowly picked up the meat slices with her small hands and put them in, rinsed them back and forth with the tumbling mutton soup three or two times, and then slowly sent them to Xie Dan's plate when they were cooked.

So Xie Dan ate slowly and finely according to her rhythm, and drank a little wine.Ye Chu seldom saw him drinking, so he was curious by the side, so Xie Dan asked someone to bring over the green plum wine brewed in spring in Zhuangzi, and said that he could only give her a taste and not drink too much.

The two of them didn't leave anyone to wait on them, so Xie Dan took a small glass wine cup the size of a bull's eye and poured half of it for her. Yi, this green plum wine is sweet, it seems to be no different from the sherbet she usually drinks.

After drinking half a cup and still wanting it, Xie Dan refused to give it, saying that children can't drink more, which made Ye Chu look at him with his mouth curled up.

Delicious food and wine, the autumn scenery is pleasant, the two chatted for a while about fruits, vegetables and food, but Ye Chu somehow mentioned the matter of the emperor's draft, she asked Xie Dan, has the emperor's beauty pageant been selected?

"Why haven't you forgotten about this?" Xie Dan looked at her, seeing the little girl playing with Zi Yingying's grapes, she didn't seem like she wanted to ask something, maybe she was just bored.

Xie Dan smiled and said, "It seems that they have been selected, haven't you heard?"

"Who told me, the people in my courtyard don't go out, and I don't know if I ask them."

It's true, since the maids and servants in her yard have not been out since they entered the house, and even if someone knew about He's matter, who would dare to tell her.

"The election has been made, the day of the hall election has passed more than ten days ago." Xie Dan said.

"Does it look good?"

"How do I know that all the beauties selected by the emperor live in the harem. The palace has strict rules. I am usually in front of the imperial court, and I don't go to the harem."

Ye Chu regretted a bit, she always wanted to know what kind of beauties were selected by Man Tian Xia, and how good-looking they were.

She clicked her tongue and asked curiously: "Then what will happen if you go to the harem? You can go and take a peek."

Xie Dan glanced at her, took care of picking up vegetables with his right hand, and made a gesture with his left hand: "Private meeting with the concubine, behead."

"..." Ye Chu shrank his neck, oh my god, it's so serious.This emperor is too bad.
