I heard my brother is a tyrant

Because we are not brothers and sisters?

Xie Dan was silent and sighed inwardly.

Her experience from childhood to adulthood made her temperament a little sensitive and uneasy, like she was crying and asked him, do you want me anymore.

Xie Dan dared not touch this topic again.

He smiled and said, "You're talking nonsense again. Don't think about it in the future. Brother means that you are gradually growing into a big girl, and you are still very smart. Brother can't keep treating you like a child in the future."

"Oh." Ye Chu paused, then smiled, "Of course I'm very smart."

The shadows of the two of them stretched very long under the setting sun. Xie Dan looked at the sunset glow in the sky, and then changed the subject with a chuckle: "An'an, do you think that sunset looks like the salted egg yolk you ate in the morning?"

"Well, like." The little girl said, "Scrambled tofu with salted egg yolk is also delicious."

Xie Dan said: "There is a dish in Ludi, which is made with raw salted egg yolk and small yellow croaker meat. It is called Sai Crab. As the name suggests, it tastes more delicious than crab."

As expected, Ye Chu's attention was diverted, and he asked, "Is it delicious? What kind of taste is that, I've never eaten crabs before."

She is weak, has a delicate spleen and stomach, and has a cold crab nature. She has never dared to eat crabs for her since she was a child.For this reason, the family does not eat crabs, and there are no crabs in the house so far.

Xie Dan couldn't help but want to laugh, this must be heard by others, I have never eaten crabs once, I don't know how much the little girl has been treated badly.

Xie Dan said, "I'll find a cook who can cook for you."

Ye Chu never expected that her 14th birthday gift was actually a pony.When Xie Dan came to tell her, Ye Chu was really pleasantly surprised.

The foal was kept in the stable at the back of the courtyard, Ye Chu heard about it, and rushed to see it.

It was really a foal, a little bigger than the usual hounds, darker than the usual yellow husky, with a slightly golden-red coat, and a beautiful light-colored mane and tail.The servant brought it over, and Ye Chu happily ran over to pet it, and asked Xie Dan, "It's so beautiful. Why is it so small, does it still need to suckle? Where is the mare?"

"No need to nurse, it is already one and a half years old."

"Liar, I don't believe it."

Ye Chu opened his eyes questioningly and asked, "Then why is it so small, when will it grow up?"

Xie Dan said with a leisurely smile, "This is a small pony from a foreign country. It doesn't grow big, and an adult horse can only grow to a height of three or four feet at most."

This foal was a tribute from Fanbang. It is small in size, but strong and compact, smart and docile.This horse is rare and rare, and is often kept as a pet by the noble families of the foreign countries, suitable for women and children to ride.

Last year Fanbang presented two ponies as a tribute, Xie Dan was not very satisfied after seeing it, so he asked Fanbang to pick another one-year-old foal, which is fun and easy to raise.

Ye Chu can't keep cats and dogs. When she was a child, she would get red rashes when she came into contact with cats and dogs. Xie Dan originally had the idea of ​​teaching her to ride a horse. This horse is just right for her.It took several months to transport it from Fanbang, and it took a while to send it to her.

Ye Chuyi heard that the pony can only grow three or four feet tall at most, so he hurriedly made a gesture, and when it grows up, it will only reach above her chest. If she grows taller, it will not reach her chest.

Really petite and lovely horse.You know, the horse that Xie Dan often rides is taller than her, not cute, and fierce, so he only recognizes Xie Dan, it's really not attractive.

Ye Chu happily stroked the pony's smooth mane, and asked, "Is it really possible to ride it so small? Then when can I ride it?"

"You can ride it when you are two years old. You raise it first, raise it well, and if you want to play with it later, you can ask someone to take it to the garden."

"It's so fun, thank you brother." Ye Chu was happy, he put his arms around the horse's neck and patted it, and the pony also rubbed his head affectionately against her face, making Ye Chu laugh.

"This is my horse. I already have a horse." Ye Chu hugged the horse's neck and said with a smile, "I have to give it a name, what should I call it?"

The little girl thought for a long time and said, "It's so fun and so beautiful, let's call it Little Pearl."

Xie Tan looked at her with a smile. Petting her younger sister would really give her a sense of accomplishment. It can be foreseen that in the next few months, this colt will be raised by her as a dog. The little girl will walk her pony in the garden when she is free.

Ye Chu went to grab some fodder to feed the pony, and led it around the yard, playing with it fondly.

Suddenly seeing a tall strange man walking in, the little girl immediately hid her smile and looked at Xie Dan beside her.

Wei Chen stepped in, really didn't know that the emperor was here, not only the emperor, but also a girl in pink in the courtyard, Wei Chen paused, seeing that Xie Dan had already looked over, and it would be impossible to go back, he hurriedly bowed After saluting, the word "Your Majesty" came to his lips, and he turned a corner abruptly.

"I have seen...Master Ye."

Xie Dan looked at him with his hands behind his back, his eyebrows frowned slightly and said: "There is a family member here, why did you come in rashly?"

"..." Wei Chen gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, I really don't know that you are here, and I didn't see any servants at the door..."

The whole house was heavily guarded by armored guards. He was in his own home, and he needed some servant to guard the door, so no one would tell him when he broke in.

Xie Dan looked at Ye Chu, thanks to the fact that the little girl doesn't know much about "house servants".

This is a cross courtyard, not an inner house with many courtyards. The side door of the cross courtyard can communicate with the courtyard of the Iron Armored Guard next door. On weekdays, Wei Shen does not come here less often. He usually comes to see the emperor, and he uses the side door to enter and exit the Ye residence. "Inner family".

But the other party is the emperor, can he reason with the emperor or something.

"This subordinate is reckless, my lord forgive me." Wei Chen bowed to Ye Chu and said, "I have seen the girl. It is my subordinate who is reckless, and the girl forgives my sin."

While speaking, Ye Chu had already walked to Xie Dan's side, his small hand grabbed a finger that Xie Dan was carrying behind his back and did not speak.In fact, she wasn't that afraid of people, but she just didn't like strangers, especially this stranger who rushed in rashly, who was a tall, grown man dressed in black, who didn't look like a kind person.

Hearing his apology, Ye Chu naturally didn't intend to open his mouth, anyway, there is a brother in everything.

Sure enough, Xie Dan said, "Forget it."

Wei Chen heaved a sigh of relief, straightened up slightly, and quietly looked at the woman beside the emperor.The beautiful young girl in the cardamom age, wearing a delicate cherry pink printed blouse skirt, weak willow Fufeng, Yan Rushunhua, but... Wei Chen secretly took a breath, how does this woman look a bit like that...

He was surprised for a moment and forgot to restrain himself. He looked at Ye Chu directly, and the little girl swept her eyes clear, then she pursed her mouth as if displeased, and took a step back to hide behind the emperor.

Wei Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he realized that he was a little presumptuous. He quickly lowered his head, and he heard the emperor's angry voice scolding: "Don't back down!"

"Yes! The minister will leave!"

When Wei Chen was not paying attention, his mouth went bald again, facing the emperor's disgusting gaze, he quickly bowed his head and backed out.

As soon as he left, Ye Chu pouted and asked, "Brother, who is this person? Why is there a stranger in our family?"

"It's my subordinate." Xie Dan turned around and held her little hand, and said with a comforting smile, "Don't worry about him, he's just a rough guy who is reckless, I'll call him later."

"Yeah." Ye Chu nodded to show that he was not afraid, and asked, "What did he say about the subject?"

"Oh, his name is Wei Chen." Xie Dan wrote lightly.

... What is this self-proclaimed, it is strange to call yourself a single word.Ye Chu pouted, thinking that the person just now was a bit awkward anyway.

Xie Dan ignored the matter, and asked with a smile: "How about we take Little Pearl and go for a walk in the garden?"

"Well, good." The little girl immediately put aside the matter, led the pony herself, Xie Dan followed behind, and the two walked along the lane between the Kuayuan and the main courtyard to the garden.

And Wei Chen, who was scolded as a swindler, came out of the Kuayuan, and couldn't help but secretly startled.As the commander of the Armored Guards, his eyes can be said to be good enough. The woman just now must be the charming and beloved Miss Ye in the mansion. She looks... quite similar to Guo Zijin, the head of Jiayi County. very similar.

Many people in Beijing know that the birthday of Jiayi County Lord is Duanyang Festival, and the emperor bought this pony, which is said to be a birthday gift for a girl, but it happens that the Duanyang Festival is just around the corner, and then think of the emperor's little pony. In other words, the emperor is sure that Guo Zijin is a fake... Wei Chen couldn't help but gasped.

hiss!

***

That is, on the Duanyang Festival, an interesting incident happened in Beijing. Although the person concerned didn’t seem to want to publicize it, it spread quickly in the capital for some reason. heard.

Jiayi County Lord went to Huguo Temple to offer incense on Duanyang Festival's birthday, and won a phoenix lottery.

It is said that this phoenix lottery was once drawn by the queen of Taizu, the founding emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The meaning is the inborn phoenix fate.At that time, there were many lords competing for the throne, and the world was in dispute. A few years later, Emperor Tai|Zu pacified the world and was enthroned. .

Guo Zijin naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, so he ordered the people around him to keep their mouths shut and not spread it indiscriminately.However, what is the Huguo Temple? Huguo Temple is full of incense, and there are many pilgrims.

And after Guo Zijin drew the Phoenix lottery at that time, the monk reported the matter to the abbot Master Puxuan, and Master Puxuan asked Guo Zijin about his horoscope.

Master Puxuan took the horoscope of birth and broke off several white beards. He was puzzled for a while, and then gave Guo Zijin a sentence: "Fate is precious, and you are born rich."

As the abbot of the Huguo Temple, Master Puxuan was an eminent monk who attained Taoism at an octogenarian age, so what he said must be true.This further proves the Phoenix lottery.

Rumors began to spread in the capital that the head of Jiayi County was born with a phoenix fate, which is an indescribable fate.

As soon as this kind of talk spreads, people in the court will naturally pay attention to it, and then they will start to pay attention to the posthumous position. The voice of the court and the central government for establishing a queen is growing day by day, and ministers have written letters one after another, asking the emperor to make a queen.

As for the candidates for Li Hou, there are three main candidates: Chu Congchan, Wei Linbo, and Guo Zijin.

The three factions are also distinct. Chu Congchan is followed by the family foundation and the Empress Dowager, and Wei Linbo is followed by the upstarts of the imperial court. Those who support and recommend Guo Zijin are almost all generals.

Military generals act in a more straightforward style, unlike civil servants who go around like a civil servant. Some people use Guo Zijin's "innate phoenix fate" to talk about things. Established the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In this way, it seems that Guo Zijin is responsible for the fate of the country, and she must be the queen.

This is not just the position of empress. No one in the court understands that whoever sits in the back seat and who will come from the belly of the future crown prince means that the faction will have the upper hand in the court and will continue to prosper forever.The Empress Dowager is a ready-made example.

The courtiers have their own positions and considerations, and the emperor didn't seem to stop it this time. His attitude was vague and noncommittal, so he left it to the courtiers to discuss.

From the front court to the harem, they were all involved in the struggle for succession soon.

Even if there are sober people who can see through, this dispute is nothing more than the emperor's check and balance technique. The snipe and the clam are fighting, and the young emperor sitting on the dragon chair is probably the one who wins in the end.However, in the court hall, even if they see through it, what can they do? Many people have to be coerced into it.

As a result, the harem is full of wind and clouds, and there are more intrigues and secrets.In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. During the family banquet in the harem, Wei Linbo was poisoned in full view and almost lost his life.The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and Concubine Liu was found, and finally Concubine Liu herself recognized it.

Concubine Liu was ordered to die, implicating the family. Concubine Liu's grandfather was dismissed from office and seized the title. Because of his old age and hard work, the Empress Dowager interceded and allowed him to retire and return to his hometown.

In the turbulent atmosphere of the capital, the emperor ordered Han Ziyun, son of Marquis Xuanping, to return to Beijing.
