[Red House] Raiders of life

The eunuch outside the wall jumped up and down anxiously, but couldn't climb the wall, so he could only keep hammering on the wall and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness, are you alright?"

Tu Mingyan's face was red, scratching his claws in his heart, could he slap the eunuch on the head outside the wall.Without these words, he could still pretend to be a little eunuch, but now...

Tu Mingyan frowned and grimaced, feeling that his fame had been ruined in this way.

Only then did Lin Daiyu suddenly realize that the person in front of her was actually the Twelfth Prince, so she hurriedly paid her respects.

Tu Mingyan was so anxious that he almost went up to cover Daiyu's mouth, but after all he knew that she was a girl and wasn't a servant of the eunuch who played with him until he got older, so he kept raising his index finger to "shh".However, it still alarmed the outsiders after all, only three or two court ladies came following the sound, and they were naturally displeased to see the disgraced "little eunuch", "Where did the little eunuch come from, anyone in Mingcui Palace can act wild..."

Before finishing speaking, seeing the appearance of the "little eunuchs", they knelt down one by one and called out: "I have seen the Twelfth Highness."

Tu Mingyan lowered his head dejectedly, and sighed lamentably, too!I can't hide now.

********

Tu Mingyan rubbed his wrists, but he just slipped out to play once, but the price was so serious, Tu Mingyan couldn't help crying when he looked at the stack of books half his height in front of him.

Piana Shushan is still going up...

Xiao Dezi stepped on the last stack of books and stacked them, rubbed his buttocks and said, "Your Highness, the servants have found all the book lists given by your empress."

Tu Mingyan glared at him, put down the pen as if angry, and walked outside.Although he doesn't hate reading, nor does he hate copying books, but when will he copy every book in this mountain three times?My hands are almost broken, okay?

Xiao Dezi was startled, and he didn't care about the pain anymore. He threw himself forward, fell to the ground, and hugged Tu Mingyan's leg, "Your Highness, please do me a favor. This is what the emperor said. , and stole the token of the empress and sneaked out of the palace, I want you to shut yourself up and think about your mistakes, and you are not allowed to go anywhere."

Tu Mingyan shook his legs, but Xiao Dezi showed the skill of "Cowhide Candy" to the fullest, Tu Mingyan said angrily: "Father only said that I am not allowed to go out of this palace gate, not that I can't even go out .”

Xiao Dezi wept sadly, "But the lady said it. Your Highness, you have pity on this servant's ass. Even if you want to do something, you can do it after the servant's ass is better?"

Xiao Dezi has been with Tu Mingyan for three years, how could Tu Mingyan have no feelings.Masters make mistakes and slaves are punished. It seems to be a common phenomenon around the princes in the palace.Although it seems that he is the master's confidant, and he has to serve him well, but it is really not easy to fall on this board.

Tu Mingyan sighed and softened, "Okay, I'm not going out. Are you still in pain? Last time I learned bow and arrow from Master Wu, I was strangled and my concubine gave me several bottles. The medicine for golden sores is better than that of imperial physicians, I will find it for you."

Xiao Dezi had a sore nose and rubbed his eyes, "It's good that the master is fine. The slave has rough skin and thick flesh, and has been beaten very well. The master's medicine is expensive, so how can I use it on the slave."

Tu Mingyan stared at him, ignored him, and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to look for it, because he is getting older now, and he has already attended martial arts classes two years ago, so it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bumps, and there are many wound medicines around him. , are all prepared and placed in the medicine box, it is not difficult to find.

Tu Mingyan held the ointment in one hand, and grabbed Xiao Dezi with the other, "Come here, I'll give you the medicine."

Xiao Dezi was taken aback, and hurriedly dodged, seeing that the medicine could not be refused, so he had to say: "The master should give this medicine to the servant, and the servant will take it by himself."

Tu Mingyan twitched his lips, hurting his butt, so he couldn't do it anymore.It's just because he is the master and he is the slave, so it's not convenient.There are many rules in the palace, and Tu Mingyan no longer insisted, he gave the ointment to Xiao Dezi, and when he looked back at the "Book Mountain", his eyebrows frowned again.

Xiao Dezi looked at Tu Mingyan's expression and said: "Master, if you are tired of copying, why don't you take a break? There are flying chess and backgammon in the room, master, do you want to play?"

Tu Mingyan shook his head.Xiao Dezi also talked about a large circle of indoor entertainment activities, but Tu Mingyan was not satisfied.Xiao Dezi scratched his head and said, "Why don't you fly a kite? It's in the small yard at the back, and the empress probably won't say anything."

"That's something for girls to play with." After finishing speaking, Tu Mingyan was taken aback, "I bumped into the daughter of Lord Shilin, the inspector of salt in Yangzhou today? The cousin of A Li's cousin's husband's family?"

"Yes. The imperial concubine said so."

Tu Mingyan let out an "oh" and said, "I destroyed her kite. I heard from my concubine that she made the kite herself. Go and ask, is the kite lost or who took it?" If you want to come over, let's make one for her as an apology."

"Eh!"

Xiao Dezi complied, and went out for a while, and came back after a while holding a broken kite, which was the "swallow" that Daiyu was playing with today.

The swallow's eyes, mouth, etc. are all painted with paint, and the brushwork is immature, but if it is painted by a girl from Lin, it is very rare at such an age.Thinking about it, Tu Mingyan couldn't help but take it over and take a closer look. The swallow's belly is painted with Xiangfei bamboo, and in the middle is a five-six-character facial expression. There are two lines of writing, which seem to be seven-character quatrains, but there are only two lines. I don't know if I didn't think about the next two sentences, or because the swallow didn't have enough space in its belly, so I didn't write them down.

But as far as these two poems are concerned, Tu Mingyan is already full of praise.He had always been gifted in writing, he had memorized the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic at the age of three, learned poetry at the age of five, and was able to write poems at the age of seven. He was invincible in the palace.Even the gentlemen who taught in the study all praised him as an unborn genius.Over time, he became more confident and proud of himself.While being more self-disciplined, he also seemed a little unhappy because there were no rivals in the crowd of similar age.

Now seeing a person who is a year younger than himself, with such outstanding abilities, is still a girl, he couldn't help being a little bit happy.

The level of poetry is important, the antithesis is important, but the soul is more important.

Tu Mingyan felt as if he saw the so-called soul of poetry in these two short lines.

Originally it was just to make an apology, but now Tu Mingyan paid more attention to it, and asked Xiao Dezi to find the materials needed for the kite and make it by himself, and did not ask Xiao Dezi to help.After the kite was made, Tu Mingyan touched his chin, held a pen, and drew Clivia on the belly of the swallow. There were still two lines of poems written in the middle, which coincided with those of Daiyu, forming a complete seven-character quatrain.

And if the sentences of two people are put together, I am afraid that few people will be able to see that it is written by two people, as if the next two sentences should be followed by the next two sentences, and they are integrated.

This kite, together with many things that Lin Ning rewarded, and four nuns entered Jia's mansion.Daiyu was surprised for a moment when she saw it, and then turned into surprise, the kind of joy of meeting a confidant for a long time.

Since then, Lin Ning often recruited Daiyu to talk, but it gave the two children a lot of convenience.They didn't talk about anything else, they were both at an age where they were still emotionally unresponsive, except for poems and essays, and poems and essays, sometimes you would give me questions, and sometimes I would give you questions.However, they dragged all kinds of names, passed Lin Ning's hand, and then passed Zhen Li's hand.

Lin Ning turned a blind eye and closed his eyes, not crossing the line, and only a few people knew about it, and those who were trustworthy couldn't spread the word, so they were left to themselves.

Zhen Li only thought that Lin Ning had taken a fancy to Daiyu as his daughter-in-law, and only Lin Ning knew that, judging from the fact that Daiyu's fate in the previous few worlds was all with Tu Mingyan, the two should have a predestined relationship. If nothing goes wrong, we should still be together in this life.

********

In September, Tu Mingzhou and Jia Lian had been away for several months, and the "war" in Yangzhou finally came to an end.Probably due to the intervention of Tu Mingzhou, the butterfly effect in all aspects, this time the result was a year or two earlier.

In Mingcui Palace, Zhen Ling knelt in front of Lin Ning, weeping, her face was covered in makeup.

"My aunt is from the Zhen family anyway. Now that the family is in trouble, isn't my aunt ashamed? Auntie, the only ones who can save the Zhen family are my aunt and the fifth prince."

Lin Ning ignored her "excellent singing and writing", and said indifferently: "The state owns the state law, if the eldest brother and the others have never violated the law, the emperor will naturally not wrong him."

Zhen Ling gritted her teeth, "Auntie, is she really so cruel? Auntie thinks that her mother's family has become sinners, what will happen to us? Even if Auntie doesn't think about herself, she also has to think about the fifth prince. Daddy The prince and the seventh prince are not easy to get along with. If the Zhen family falls, and the fifth prince's mother clan has no support, how can they fight against them."

Lin Ning seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, "I don't know that a concubine can get involved in the state reserve. Do you really think I'm blind for what the Zhen family has done all these years? Don't you see it? In their hearts, besides being used, Gong and Lao Wu have any affection? When Lao Wu was punished to go to the Northwest, how did the rumors in the palace intensify? How dare you touch your conscience and swear that there is no you here? handwriting?"

"It doesn't mean that I don't know anything. Besides, although most of the princes are old now, I don't dare to talk too much about the people around me. But I and the fifth child only listen to the emperor. What the emperor gave , we took it, and the emperor didn’t give it to him, and there was his own reason. The land of the Great Wei belongs to the Heavenly Family, and belongs to the Emperor! You can criticize me. You don’t say that you expect the princes to be respectful, but you say that the princes are not easy to get along with, what kind of heart is An De!"

Lin Ning didn't care about Zhen Ling's careless expression, he threw his cup and said, "See off!"

stupid!Really thought that if something like this happened to the Zhen family, would the emperor send someone to watch over their two concubines surnamed Zhen in the palace?Especially now that the two of them have done something together!Even if Mingcui Palace has Lin Ning's iron fist, it is absolutely impossible not to have the emperor's nails if it is not nailed by others.

It's not that Lin Ning is incapable of removing these nails, but that the emperor's nails cannot be touched.

Zhen Ling was sent out, and out of the corner of Lin Ning's eyes, he saw a eunuch's clothes hidden behind a curtain and turned around and disappeared.

The next day, under the imperial decree, Zhen Ling was demoted to a talented person and thrown into the cold palace.It's just that the treatment of Lin Ning that everyone in the palace has been waiting for has not come down for a long time. Many people tried their best to squeeze Lin Ning's seat and trample Lin Ning under their feet, but in the end they all came to nothing. .

In October, the Zhen family deserved to be killed and exiled, only Lin Ning, An's, and Zhen Li and Zhen Wei were safe and sound.

In November, the emperor specially ordered Zhen Li and Zhen Wei to separate from the sect, allowing him not to be implicated by Zhen Yingjia's line, and could pass the imperial examination.

In the same month, the emperor sealed off the harem, completed the nine concubines, and added Jia Yuanchun as a concubine, but this title is intriguing and virtuous.

Among the four concubines, there are the titles of Xian Concubine and Virtue Concubine, but it is a pity that they are occupied by others, not Jia Yuanchun.But if it is said that they are inferior concubines, they have always only had one title, not two titles.The two characters are only used for posthumous titles.

Lin Ning lamented that Tu Yuanhai didn't look like such an unreliable person in any way, and even if he was going to make trouble, he could give him a title at will, and he didn't necessarily come up with such a wordless thing Bar?

In this regard, Lin Ning can only attribute it to the fact that this is probably the power of the plot emperor.

In the twelfth lunar month, the emperor further ordered that concubines of the second rank and above, those who have other courtyards at home, go home to visit their relatives!
