hold this little monk

After the sky darkened, the crowd dispersed, leaving only a team returning to the palace. Without those troublesome relatives, Bi Kong did not walk in the crowd with airs, but walked slowly to the end of the team, similar to Xiaoxuan. Chatting without saying a word, anyway, now the empress is all on Ming An, no one pays attention to him.

Little did he know that Ming An had been panicking all this time, like a frightened rabbit, eagerly looking forward to the figure of this cousin whom he had only known for half a day. If there was any medicine for regret in the world, he would never listen to his uncle again and run to this troubled place. place to suffer.

Back in the palace, the empress ordered the imperial dining room to cook a few home-cooked dishes, dismissed all the attendants, and the three grandparents and grandchildren began to sit down and chat like ordinary rich people.

"After thinking about it, I feel that Ming An's identity has to be kept secret for the time being. After a year or so, the mansion outside the palace is officially repaired, and then he will be sealed."

Hearing this, Ming An felt his heart was in tears, he didn't want to stay in this ghostly place, although it looked gorgeous, but here... always felt deserted and haunted.

Ming An said: "Your Majesty, the... I'm already sixteen. I'm afraid that such a big man in the palace will scare the concubines, right?"

He was even more afraid that those concubines would scare him.

His words are not harsh, and it's not that His Majesty has not thought about this issue, but Ming An's appearance is slightly tender, coupled with his slow-growing body due to malnutrition, he looks like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, where is it? There are sixteen or seventeen years old.

Seeing His Majesty's embarrassment, Bi Kong said: "It's quite simple, you can live in the outer palace instead of the harem."

The issue of Ming An's residence had been considered long before he brought people to see His Majesty. Ming An's status was too prominent, and public exposure would only be harmful to him. His Majesty is so fond of this grandson, he would never take the risk risk.

Na Mingan didn't have a mansion for a year or so, he either lived in the palace or could only live in his mansion.And unless it was absolutely necessary, His Majesty would probably not let Ming An live in his mansion.

Bi Kong is very clear that His Majesty's love for a grandson like Ming An who is powerless and completely impossible to threaten her throne is completely different from his grandson who has gone through hardships and has to run back to the volcano. Yes, even though they were both her heirs.

"If you live in the outer palace..." His Majesty thought for a while, then said, "I'm afraid there are only vacant rooms in the Ziling Hall, but the people in the Ziling Hall are noisy. They dance with pens and ink all day and night, and they are not clean. I don't know you." Will you get used to it?"

Ming An blinked: "I've slept on the flyover, so why am I afraid that I won't be clean?"

Bi Kong held his forehead and smiled helplessly.

What a tough woman Your Majesty is, after hearing this, she couldn't help but soften her eyes: "I will ask the master of Ziling Palace to clean up the courtyard for you——Yi Wang, you are so familiar with the people in Ziling Palace. I will leave it to you to arrange it.”

"Yes."

The implication of these words is to hand over Ming An to Xiaoxuan.

His original intention was to put Ming An under Xiaoxuan's eyelids and look at it. The series of "coincidences" that Lie Dou just added today still made him uneasy, even though Ming An seemed so harmless to humans and animals, even It's timid and a little silly.But it's always good to plan ahead, just in case this is a bigger trap.

In addition, he also took into account Ming An's timid and somewhat sentimental temperament. If Ming An is really just an ordinary cousin who has been left behind for many years, then it is probably okay to hand him over to Xiaoxuan to take care of him. It will make Ming An more "cheerful".

He selectively forgot the glorious deeds of Xiaoxuan who made the little novice monk cry in Dakai Temple when he was a child.

After the three of them had a meal with almost no common topics, His Majesty let Ming An go with some reluctance. Ming An didn't know much about etiquette, and even in His Majesty's eyes, he was pitiful. It's a pity that after Ming An's meal, he still seems to be very afraid of him, the most honorable grandma in the world.

After the two walked out of the hall alone, Ming An breathed a pitiful sigh of relief, his eyes seemed to be able to secrete water at any time, and they were tearful again.

"Cousin, I don't want to stay in the palace, can I leave the palace?"

Bi Kong wanted to pat him on the back lightly like coaxing a child, but he suddenly remembered that the clothes on Ming An were still the one that "sleeped under the bridge", and he withdrew his hand abruptly. No one noticed his small movements.

He smiled gently and said, "Don't be afraid, the place I took you to is quite human."

The human taste that Bi Kong mentioned refers to the "human touch", but unexpectedly Ming An couldn't understand his word that omitted a single word, and his mind was full of "human taste" and "ghost smell"... In this way , Walking in the gloomy and dark alley of the deep palace, Ming An was frightened by himself and cried again.

"Then other than that place, are there only ghost smells in other places?" Ming An endured it for a while, but couldn't help asking.

"..." Bi Kong thought he was joking, but when he turned his head, he clearly saw Ming An's tears streaming down his face. It was rare for him to feel that he had nothing to say, so he was silent for a moment, "What should I say... Human touch means human touch, understand?"

Maybe, he not only wants Xiaoxuan to watch him, but also let Xiaoxuan teach him how to read and write?

Bi Kong unconsciously flashed some weird images...

No, no, forget it, he had to spend his own money to buy his brother's handwriting, so why can this kid be taught by his brother's real person?

The Ziling Palace has always been lazy, and there are almost no big figures who walk over without a notification, just like visiting, so when King Yi walked straight to the main hall with a little beggar-like person without any airs, When he smiled at them like a spring breeze, the whole Ziling Hall was boiling.

Xiaoxuan happened to be discussing with Shi Yang and Wei Yi in the main hall at this time how to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to kill them to delay the funds for dozens of days. Suddenly agitated.

"We don't have dogs in the palace? Who is in heat in spring?" Wei Yi said harshly.

For some reason, Xiaoxuan had an inexplicable intuition, and said, "Is someone here? King Yi?"

Shi Yang was even more baffled: "Why does it have to be your friend who comes when the bitch in our temple is in heat?"

Wei Yi rolled his eyes: "I said that we don't have dogs in the temple! There are no bitches!"

Xiaoxuan: "..."

How did he survive in such a ghostly place for the first ten years.

Not talking too much to those two, Xiaoxuan was about to get up and go out when he saw a young girl shyly stepping on a rag and saying softly outside the door:

"My lord, His Highness Prince Yi is here."

Xiaoxuan got goosebumps when he heard it.

What this said was like in a Gongdou drama where the emperor wanted to be lucky with a certain concubine, but the servant girl who wanted to be superior kept trying to stick it up, and said charmingly: "My lord, the emperor is here."

"You asked him to wait outside." Xiao Xuan said bluntly.

"Ah? Oh...my lord asked His Highness to wait a moment, and he will come out."

Wei Yi stared, and looked at Xiaoxuan in disbelief: There have long been rumors that this country bumpkin was very close to King Yi, and he always thought that Xiaoxuan was acting like a dog with a hot face and a cold butt. Wang is so rude.

Xiao Xuanzheng felt strange, ever since he returned to the palace, Liu Ling has been keeping a proper distance from him in front of outsiders, why would he come to him in public for no reason?

Ziling Hall is not small, but Bi Kong just smiled so powerfully that Xiaoxuan forced Xiaoxuan to walk out expressionlessly, and was so frightened by the heads surrounding him that he almost tripped over the threshold.

Spring, the season of estrus, really deserves its reputation...

Xiaoxuan cleared his throat, trying to put on the airs of being in charge: "Stand back, don't surround yourself."

It's a pity that he is inexperienced, and what he said doesn't have any weight. At most, he made everyone take a few steps back, and the circle around them was a little bigger. , watching the excitement is not a big deal.

"Forget it, what is your Highness doing here?" Xiaoxuan lazily leaned against the door, only then did he notice a dirty boy hiding behind him. Grabbing Bi Kong's sleeve pitifully, that... made Xiaoxuan want to smash his dog's head off.

Xiao Xuan squinted his eyes, although he was still smiling, but his smile was not so kind: "This is His Highness's...friend?"

Ming An was frightened by his slightly threatening eyes, and his eyes began to water again, and the appearance of him trying to hold back his tears made him even more pitiful.

"..." Xiaoxuan was angry for no reason.

What a flourishing white—the black lotus.

"Xiaoxuan," Bi Kong looked at his hostile eyes, his heart was warm despite being funny, he pulled him to a place where there were few people, and whispered, "He is... my younger brother."

Xiaoxuan petrified on the spot, looked back at the dirty man in disbelief, and then at the clean and fragrant young man beside him, suspected that he was dreaming, and twisted the flesh of his arm hard Suddenly, he said in surprise: "This younger brother, like you call me brother, is not related by blood, right? Speaking of which, did I tell you about the monogamy system in our place, do you remember?"

Bikong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking? He's my cousin, the illegitimate son of my uncle who left behind for many years. I fished it out in the woods today."

Xiaoxuan was silent for a while: "Do you regret it?"

Bi Kong looked back at the young man who was alone on the spot and didn't know how to put his hands and feet, and said honestly: "One point. I discussed with His Majesty. He is temporarily living in Ziling Hall. His Majesty loves him very much and let him go." It’s also good for you in your Ziling Palace.”

Does that mean he wants his cousin to be his mascot?Xiaoxuan couldn't help but glanced at the dark boy again.

"He was already so black? Can he be whitewashed?" Xiaoxuan was thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "He looks like he's only thirteen or fourteen years old, and it's not too late to learn something, let me teach him !"

He missed Bi Kong's growth, and now it seems good to let his younger brother replace him?

"That's up to you. If he disturbs you, you can also send him to His Majesty's Palace to promote the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren - he is very afraid of Your Majesty, so he will definitely listen to you in the future, but he likes to cry a little." , might disturb you."

"Well, I found it, but it's okay. My cousin who was twelve or thirteen years old also liked to cry, and the monks in your Dakai Temple also liked to cry. Thinking about it, all the children I know like to cry. I cried when I saw me, wait..." Xiaoxuan held his chin and thought for a moment, "Could it be that the problem lies with me?"

Bi Kong: "No, of course not."

He suddenly felt that letting his elder brother take Ming An with him was torturing each other.
