I heard my brother is a tyrant

Because of the busy four springs, Ye Chu first left an impression that "the conditions of the palace may not be very good".

In fact, I heard that all the things in the palace are ready-made, and Ye Chu just wanted to bring some things with him, but why did he pack a dozen or so big boxes in this area?When Xie Dan came back, the little girl took him to the side room and pointed to a dozen boxes for him to look at.

"Brother, is it so troublesome for us to go out?"

Xie Tan said: "My little daughter has to be careful when going out, and you don't have to carry it on your shoulders, so people can take it with you. The cook should bring two, I'm used to it too."

After the decree of the palace to escape the summer heat came down, the entourage list was the first thing to be made in the harem, which was an important matter.Although the emperor has never been in the harem, at least everyone is the same. If you go to the palace to take who you don’t, it’s just a trivial matter to stay in the embarrassment of being left behind in the hot weather. --------/Yiyi?hua/month, those who stay will be directly declared in limbo.

Of the five concubines who entered the draft, Concubine Liu, who poisoned Concubine Wei, died, and now there are four left.Even those beauties who were crammed into the palace before Xie Dan came to Beijing, these two years were still sitting on the benches and refused to leave, the Empress Dowager wanted to bring more of them.

Xie Dan went to the Compassionate Palace to greet her, and said: "The emperor's grandmother has gone to the palace, there must be people in this palace to take care of the palace affairs, the palace only brought some palace people, and there are still many in this palace." Things, we can’t leave them all alone, let’s keep two.”

There is no queen in the palace, and Xie Dan has never asked about the affairs of the harem, so the empress dowager naturally taught Shu Concubine Chu Congchan to take charge.Therefore, when Chu Congchan heard this, she lost her composure immediately, grabbed her handkerchief and hurried to see the Empress Dowager.

"Concubine Shu is in charge of palace affairs now, right?" Xie Dan asked.

Chu Congchan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the concubine should stay and take care of the palace affairs, but the concubine is worried about the Empress Dowager's body, and the Empress Dowager is used to being served by concubines, and the concubine only wants to be filial in front of the Empress Dowager." .”

The Empress Dowager also said: "The emperor is busy with state affairs, and the Ai family really cannot leave this child."

The remaining Concubine Yang and Concubine Kong lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything. The two of them were already attached to the Chu family and the Empress Dowager, so there was no place for them to intervene.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, at this time Wei Linbo stood up calmly, bowed solemnly and said: "The concubine has never been afraid of the heat, it doesn't matter whether I go to the palace or not, the concubine is willing to serve the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty." Share your worries."

"Concubine Wei really knows the general idea." Xie Dan looked at Wei Linbo and smiled, then got up and said, "I am not familiar with the palace affairs of the harem, so I just ask about these trivial matters, and the emperor's grandmother is in charge. I will retire first. gone."

The Empress Dowager was now in a dilemma, she considered it for a long time and said: "The emperor always praised Concubine Wei for being considerate and sensible, it is more important for Concubine Wei to go to the palace to serve the emperor well."

In the end, they took Chu Congchan and Wei Linbo with them, leaving Concubine Yang and Concubine Kong behind.

As soon as the concubines in An'an took leave, Chu Congchan couldn't help complaining: "Grandmother, Your Majesty even praised her for knowing the general idea, why did you just take her with you and just leave her behind, don't call me She followed to get in the way."

The Empress Dowager put down the teacup slowly, rubbed her forehead and said, "You have been in front of Ai's family for so long, why are you still so unprogressive. Now the court is talking about the Empress Dowager, and the Wei family is also the candidate for the Queen's seat One, the Ai family left her behind, wouldn't it be obvious that the Ai family suppressed her? Besides, you really dare to hand over the palace affairs to Concubine Wei? Once the Ai family takes you away, the palace But she has the final say, when we come back from the palace in a few months, do you know whose world this harem will become?"

The most important thing is to be in charge of palace affairs. The emperor obviously gave Concubine Wei a high look, and just now he said that he wanted Concubine Wei to stay in charge of palace affairs. Who knows if the emperor has other plans.If the palace affairs were really going to fall into the hands of Concubine Wei, it would be difficult to say whose territory this harem would belong to in a few months.

Could it be that the emperor really wanted to make the daughter of the Wei family his queen?Thinking about it this way, the Empress Dowager felt more and more that she had to take Wei Linbo with her and put him under her nose in order to feel at ease.

In this way, the team of the emperor's summer vacation tour became probably the most streamlined in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.Even so, it was spectacular enough. The honor guard was so long. After the imperial chariots of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, the chariots of Concubine Shu and Concubine Wei followed, together with the accompanying clan relatives, courtiers, guards, court ladies and eunuchs, A group of thousands of people came out of the palace gate in a mighty way, and there were crowds of people along the street watching and worshiping. By the time the team left the city gate, half a day had passed.

In fact, it is only [-] miles to go to the Yingshan Palace, which can be reached in an hour or two at a fast pace, but the emperor has to plan a three-day itinerary for his tour, and can only arrive in the morning of the third day.

This is just holy grail.In addition, the clansmen, ministers, and female family members of the various prefectures in central Beijing will pass by one after another in the past few days. The Yingshan Palace, various guesthouses, and other courtyards that have been vacant for two or three years have gradually become lively. It may be difficult to really settle down there in less than ten days and half a month.

So Ye Chu didn't go to the excitement that day, Xie Dan arranged for her to wait for another three days before leaving.Three days later, Shengjia finally arrived at the palace.That night, Ye Chu waited eagerly in the mansion for his brother to come back to pick her up.

For three whole days, she hadn't seen her brother for three days. Ever since she came to Beijing from Luzhou, the two of them hadn't been separated for so long.

So when Xie Dan rode back to Ye's house with a few guards, just walked into the hanging flower door in the backyard, the little girl galloped all the way, jumped up and threw herself around his neck.

Xie Dan opened his arms to catch her, and while carrying her to the backyard, he smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry?"

Ye Chu said: "It's too uncomfortable to be alone at home. If you're not at home, I don't feel like eating alone."

Hearing her grievances and complaints, Xie Dan couldn't help feeling a little regretful. It wasn't because of anything else that he didn't let her go with the driver. In fact, there were quite a few female family members who went with the driver. He was mainly afraid that she would be delayed for three days on the road. , followed the team to stop and go, waiting for the front and back, it was too hard.

As a result, in the past three days, he himself has been worried about two things, afraid that she will be alone at home, worried about this and that, and when he picks up the chopsticks for dinner, he feels that something is missing and tasteless.

If I knew this earlier, I might as well take her with me.

"The dust all over my body, maybe there are small bugs." Xie Dan said in his mouth, but carried her all the way into the yard, crossed the threshold into the house, put her down, and asked the servant girl to bring water to wash.

The two had dinner together as before, took a walk to digest food together, and talked for a while before going back to their respective rooms and going to sleep.Set off early the next morning.

After Ye Chu's limousine carriage, the servant girls, two cooks, and the carriage for pulling luggage, the party used ten carriages, accompanied by dozens of guards, and walked out of White Horse Lane in a mighty manner.

Ye Chu finally understood why it was so troublesome for the emperor to go out.

According to Ye Chu's speed, it would take her almost two days to travel eighty miles, but the little girl was not happy, so she told Xie Dan that she wanted to ride a horse.

It was actually quite hard for the girl's family to ride a horse, so Xie Dan discussed with her, or he would take her away on horseback, and it would be easy to get to the palace on the same day.

When the carriage left the city gate, Xie Dan carried Ye Chu to his horse, and the two of them rode slowly on the same horse, enjoying the scenery along the way.When he was a child, he often took her out like this, but now he is accompanied by Ye Ling, Ye Hui and dozens of guards.

The horseshoes were brisk, the two chatted and laughed all the way, had lunch in a hotel in the middle, took a nap in the afternoon and continued on their way, and when the sun was westward, they could already see the Yingshan Palace.

The palace was built along the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain stretched for several miles were the residences of various clansmen and ministers.Xie Dan rode his horse straight in from the south gate of the palace. He got off the horse, stretched out his arms to hold her down, and changed the sedan chair to go inside.

When the sedan chair stopped, Xie Dan helped her get off the sedan chair, and asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"

Ye Chu said: "It's okay, anyway, it's much better than riding in a carriage for two days."

She looked around, compared with the capital city, the buildings in the palace were much more unique and ingenious. In front of her was a courtyard with white walls and flower windows, double eaves and green tiles, sparse flowers and trees, and the words "Yuqianzhai" were written on the plaque.

It doesn't look "simple".It's all the fault of Sichun, making her always think that the palace is so crude.

"Are we going to live here from now on?" Ye Chu asked, "Brother, what should we do? We ran here first, and Chunjiang and the others are still on the way."

"Should be coming soon." Xie Dan said, she was not in the carriage, so Chang Shun and the convoy would be able to let go of the speed even if she was not afraid of bumps and motion sickness. If she didn't stop for a rest at noon, she wouldn't be much slower.

He led her in, and the two servants beside Xie Dan were guarding the door. They had arrived three days ago, first bowed to Xie Dan, and then greeted Ye Chu with a smile: "Miss Wanan."

As time went by, Xie Dan noticed that the little servant beside him became more active. Whenever he saw Ye Chu, he would smile even if he saluted and greeted him, but he didn't look respectful and solemn when facing him.

He smiled and said to her: "The people in this courtyard are all people from our house, you are familiar with them."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Chen Lianjiang rushing out from the inside in a gray robe and casual clothes. When he saw Ye Chu, his old face was wrinkled with a smile. The girl has worked hard all the way."

"..." Ye Chu looked at Xie Dan with wide eyes, didn't you say there was no stranger?

Xie Dan: "..."

He glanced at Chen Lianjiang and said, "This is Manager Chen. If I'm busy and I'm not home, you can tell him something."

"Yes, yes, please tell the girl if you have anything to do, the servants are familiar with this place." Chen Lianjiang smiled and said happily, "Oh, the servants can see the girls. I often hear the adults mention the girls, and the servants have never said anything. See you."

Chen Lianjiang saw Ye Chu for the first time in several years. He used to imagine how stunning this girl would be. Now he finally saw Ye Chu in person. Looking at it this way, the little girl is bright and delicate in a green shirt and pink skirt. Beauty is naturally extremely beautiful, but this girl...why is it so rare.

It looks easier to serve than the emperor.

"Chen Lianjiang." Xie Dan warned him softly.

"Hey, the servant girl is here, and the servant girl knows. Hey, the girl is also tired all the way. The girl hurried in to rest. The servant girl has ordered tea and snacks to be prepared. The girl rests first. The girl's servant girl hasn't arrived yet. If there is anything you don't like, you can tell your servants. By the way, do you have anything you want for dinner, Miss?"

"Just get something lighter." Xie Dan waved his hand, and Chen Lianjiang went out happily.

Ye Chu glanced at his back, walked into the courtyard, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, why is this person so weird?"

"It's poverty, don't worry about him." Xie Dan said, "I'll talk about him later."

He led her through a moon gate, walked in along the flower stone path, and introduced her to the layout of the house.Originally there were two similar courtyards connected by a veranda in the middle. Xie Dan asked someone to remodel the veranda to connect the two courtyards into one. A few stalks of green bamboo were planted in the back, and dozens of pots of peonies of various colors were placed at different heights on the flower stand. Hua's small courtyard is reserved for her, and he lives in front.

Ye Chu was still puzzled by Chen Lianjiang, and followed Xie Dan into the room.At a glance, the furnishings in the room are still pink and tender like that of a little girl's house, with the curtains hanging down, and everything is exquisite and exquisite.

The characteristic of this house is that the windows are large, you can open the windows to enjoy the cool air, the bamboo shadows are slanting outside the windows, the mountain scenery is in your eyes, it is very elegant and quiet.

Xie Dan handed her a cup of cooled honey plum tea and said, "This is Chen Lianjiang. He won't bother you often. If you don't like it, I'll tell him not to come next time."

Ye Chu tasted the small snacks on the plate with honey plum tea, four kinds of cakes in the tray, two kinds of sweet jujube bean paste cake and plum cake, two salty ham and plum vegetable cakes, and pretzel silver cake.She tasted a little bit one by one, and chose the ham and vegetable cake with honey tea to eat.

"No, it's just... I think he's weird. He loses his eyes when he smiles. It's funny."

It's not that Ye Chu has never had contact with eunuchs, but the little girl doesn't know, who would tell her this specifically.At Ye's house, Xie Dan brought four servants with him, and they only took care of him in his daily life, but probably because the four servants were not very old, Ye Chu didn't think there was anything wrong even if their voices were thinner.

And Chang Shun, Chang Shun is a clean adult, although he doesn't have a beard, but his body is strong, and his voice is only a little thinner.

However, Eunuch Chen purified himself when he was young, and Sejong entered the palace after he purified himself. He is a very typical eunuch, with a more obvious voice and manner.Ye Chu hadn't seen this kind of thing before, so he couldn't put it into words, but he felt that Mr. Chen spoke softly, his face was white, and when he smiled, he looked like a white-faced steamed bun with a bunch of chrysanthemum folds twisted, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled. a seam.

Chen Lianjiang didn't know that the girl said he was "weird and funny". After he came out of Yuqianzhai, he hurriedly called the servants in front of him: "Go, go, tell the imperial dining room, and prepare the meal quickly. Be sure to cheer up for dinner, This is the first time for the girl to eat our imperial meal, and everyone has put their heart into it. If she says something is not good, she will just look at the cook who brings pride to the house, but they will have nothing to do with the imperial dining room."

A servant said: "I just received the news that Eunuch Chang has arrived at the foot of the mountain."

"Hey, I'll call you an idiot," Chen Lianjiang said, "That kid Chang Shun just arrived tonight, let alone dinner, he can't even afford the pot. The imperial dining room will also prepare breakfast tomorrow."

Another servant asked: "Eunuch Chen, do you need to think of a way to ask all the servants in front of the emperor to come and recognize the girl quietly, and the girl will be in this garden from now on. Mouth."

Chen Lianjiang raised his toe and kicked the little servant's ass: "You are also an idiot. Are there any other girls in this area of ​​our imperial court? You should know when you see someone. Besides, your majesty let everyone in the imperial court go." On the side of Qingliang Hall, we usually don’t have many chances to come here, so you should just let you drop by randomly all day long.”

That's good, the emperor used to stay in the palace at least most of the time during the day, and this time he probably came back here after dealing with political affairs.

This time, Yuqian is at leisure.

Feeling a sense of crisis, Chen Lianjiang waved his hands: "Go ahead, tell them all to be smarter, keep their mouths shut, and their eyes sharper, especially the one behind them. Keep an eye on me. Don't come looking for our bad luck."

After driving for several hours on horseback, Ye Chu was indeed a little tired, so he drank a cup of tea and ate a few snacks, then went to take a nap.

Before dinner, Chang Shun and Chun Jiang also arrived, and when Chang Shun brought the motorcade into the palace, unloading the car and carrying luggage, they were busy settling in, Ye Chu and Xie Dan had already sat down for dinner.Considering that the maids were going to pack those suitcases in Ye Chu's room, the two asked someone to put the dinner in Xie Dan's room ahead.

In fact, the craftsmanship in the imperial dining room is similar to that in the house. After all, the cooks in their house were originally selected by the imperial dining room.But Ye Zhai's kitchen has been serving for a long time, so naturally he knows Ye Chu's taste very well, which is incomparable to the Imperial Dining Room.Chen Lianjiang knew that Ye Chu liked to eat fish and shrimp, as well as melon and fruit, and the emperor was not picky when eating, so when the dinner was served, the table was full of fish, shrimp, aquatic products and melon and fruit snacks.

The maids have just arrived, and they are busy allocating the dormitory, tidying up the rooms, and doing a good job of controlling and assigning responsibilities. The four springs are so busy that they don't touch the ground, and they know the usual habits of the two masters, so they just call Tian Xing With red bean paste, lotus root starch and sesame seeds, a few maidservants served the meals in front of them, and the four of them took the meals and brought them in and presented them.

Chen Lianjiang stood by the door and stared, always feeling that these four servant girls were too unseemly to serve them. Whoever trained|taught them was too unruly. No one left the food.

He looked at a gap, quietly motioned to Tian Xing and asked: "How many people did you bring? Why are you so busy, do you need us to send a few people here first?"

Tian Xing said: "No need, the two masters usually don't ask people to serve meals. The master doesn't like to keep too many people around."

Chen Lianjiang asked: "Are you really capable? We don't distinguish between each other. Didn't you just come here and you haven't been settled yet? If you're too busy, just say it. It's nothing more than serving the master first."

Tian Xing laughed softly: "Oh, father-in-law, don't worry, we have been serving for a long time, and there will be no mistakes."

Chen Lianjiang said in his heart, the girl is young and has a good temper, so she is not very good at restraining servants. See if these people are used to it, it's over if you put the dishes on the top end, and let the master serve the soup and vegetables by himself. This is not to be beaten to death.

When the food was served, Xie Dan and Ye Chu sat down to eat, Xie Dan picked up a spoon to serve Ye Chu with soup, Ye Chu picked up chopsticks and first put two prawns on Xie Tan's plate.

Chen Lianjiang seemed to have figured out something, and he thought it was strange that he had to ask someone to serve him. There were two people in his family, it was so warm and homely for the two of them to eat like this, and it was unnecessary for others to be around.But girl, you took the vegetables for His Majesty, but you peeled the shrimps.

Then he saw Xie Dan pick up the shrimp, skillfully peeled off the shell and dipped it in ginger vinegar sauce, and put it back on Ye Chu's plate.

Chen Lianjiang suddenly realized.

Come on, they didn't pick it up for the emperor to eat, so they asked him to shell it.

Just now I ate two pieces of ham and vegetable cakes, and I was a bit tired from the journey. Ye Chu ate a few shrimps and a little stir-fried seasonal vegetables after dinner, drank a few mouthfuls of rouge rice porridge, and Xie Dan served it for her. Half a bowl of shredded chicken and sour bamboo shoot soup, the little girl put down her chopsticks after taking two sips.

"Not to your taste?" Xie Dan asked.

"Not very hungry." Ye Chu said.

The two came out of the room and took a walk for a while along the flower-stone path at the door. Walking from Yuqianzhai, there was a rockery flower garden and a small pavilion. The two climbed up the pavilion to watch the night view.

In fact, Xie Dan came to the Yingshan Palace when he was a child, and he hasn't been here for so many years, but the general layout is easy to distinguish.He came three days earlier, and he has already divided this place to take care of it. The place where they live is the area of ​​the Imperial Palace, and the Imperial Palace must be strictly controlled. Xie Dan deliberately separated the garden and palace along the mountain. , In this way, it can be ensured that no one will disturb Ye Chu's playing activities in this area.

"There is a big lake over there, I will take you to play when I have time." Xie Dan said, "But there are other people in and around the palace who will go, if you go to play by yourself, remember to ask someone to tell me first."

"Tell me that you will accompany me?" Ye Chu asked.

"Okay. Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy if you meet someone new." Xie Dan said.

Upon hearing this, the little girl decisively decided not to go out to play alone.This is a palace, not her own house, and there is an emperor who always chops off people's heads in this palace.

Seeing the shadowy distant mountains and palace buildings in the night, Ye Chu asked curiously: "Brother, are we living in the palace? Where do the emperor's concubines live?"

"The palace is huge, even the large hotel around it and at the foot of the mountain. I don't have another courtyard here, so we'll just stay here for a while."

Xie Dan showed her the direction, and said with a smile, "The emperor is usually over there, and there are several connected halls over there. The female family members of the harem live there, and it is farther away, and there are people from the harem all over there."

"Why are the emperor and the concubine so far apart? Don't the emperor and the concubine live together?" the little girl asked.

Xie Dan smiled and said, "Naturally, the front court and the rear palace must be clearly distinguished. This is the ancestral rule, otherwise it will not be messed up. There are not only concubines in the palace, but also the empress dowager lives there."

"I see." Ye Chu nodded and said, "I'll only play here, at most go to the lake, I'll avoid those two sides."

It sounded like he was hiding something scary, Xie Dan said with a smile: "There is nothing interesting in this palace except for a lake, and the mountains are the fun. I will take you there after I finish the few days in front of me." Play on the mountain."

The two chatted for a while, walked around for a while, Ye Chu said that she was going back to bed early.

"Go, I'll go to bed early too." Xie Tan instructed, "If you're hungry at night, ask someone to make some soup and other mild snacks."

The little girl nodded and agreed to go back to take a bath and rest, Xie Dan also went back to the room to take a bath.

Once the two masters were settled, Chen Lianjiang came out of Yuqianzhai lightly, and saw Chang Shun after a short walk.Chang Shun had just arranged the room for the people he had brought, and when he saw Chen Lianjiang coming, Chang Shun hurriedly saluted and greeted him.

Chen Lianjiang asked in a low voice: "Chang Shun'er, how are you doing serving the girl, isn't it good?"

"That's good, the girl has a good temper, and she won't get angry once throughout the year."

"Tsk, it's a blessing for you kid," Chen Lianjiang asked, "Then His Majesty isn't angry and offends others?"

"Look at what you said, Eunuch Chen. There is a girl here. How can His Majesty be angry? He is afraid of scaring the girl if he speaks loudly."

Thinking of the days when Yuqian was tense all day long, Chen Lianjiang couldn't help grinding his teeth, this kid did it on purpose!

But Chang Shun still asked with a smile: "Eunuch Chen, I heard that the girl didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food tonight, and your Majesty ordered to prepare a supper. Is your imperial dining room okay? If not, you can have breakfast tomorrow." Let's do it."
