35. Small Years
It takes 48 hours to see the sweet little jade after less than 60% of the subscription! I saw him a small person lying on the window, peeking outside, walking forward and touching his head and saying, "What's wrong? Do you want to eat persimmons?"
Qiao Yu stood on tiptoe, wishing he could stretch his head out, full of curiosity, "So many persimmons taste so sweet, I want to eat them!" He not only wanted to eat them himself, but also wanted to bring them to the prince.
I smiled with satisfaction, "I heard that the persimmons in the backyard are not ripe yet, and most of them are to be picked off, and the whole palace has to taste them, and in the end, there are still many left. The head of the imperial kitchen is because of its merits in raising persimmon trees. One person can get a basket. One person can't eat so much, either the head of the head is given to the familiar ones, and they are all rewarded to the eunuchs. I used to be with Concubine De.
In the palace, I only collected a few to try the taste. This year I went to the imperial kitchen, and there were many. However, I have never taken away my apprentice godson, and there are no godfathers and grandpas on it. I can’t deliver them. I will give you that to you at that time. There are few fruit trees in the palace, I don’t have them, and there are not even Taiqing Palace. You should have never tasted anything delicious.”
After hearing this, Qiao Yu finally moved her eyes back from the backyard and looked at her satisfaction.
Suitable to say, "How can a child as old as you are not greedy? Then I will leave some for you to give it to others and give it to you. I will find a way to move the persimmons to Taiqing Palace. These persimmons can be stored and can be eaten for a long time. If you ask your little greedy ones to be sweet, don't be unable to walk when you see other people's food all day long. But don't give it to others. What's the matter for you? It's easy to lose the demographic. I'll give it to them."
Although Xingxin and Anping and Changle were both careful and unobtrusive when they interacted with each other. But who Xingxin was so sharp that she could not see who she knew about Qiao Yu over the past few days, so she could not be in charge of the position.
Qiao Yu was a little embarrassed, turned around, rubbed her cheek with her satisfying palm, like a cute kitten, "It's so fun to drive birds outside,"
His voice was light and soft, and his heart was so satisfying that he could hear it. He bent down to look at him, "Why are you just thinking about playing from morning to night?"
Qiao Yu stopped talking and knew that his request had been exceeded. He just thought about it and dreamed that he would not really want to ask for it. He was indeed spoiled, but now he also knows something very well and is very clear in his heart. It is not easy to live in the imperial kitchen.
After contemplating for a moment, he gave a completely different answer, "This is not difficult."
He also explained to him, "This is a chore, and it is necessary to take leave and make up for it from morning to night. Every day, people are not a fixed number. I saw that the two eunuchs you know are not on duty today, so you change your clothes and play secretly in remote places. Whether it is persimmons or birds, no one notices you. But you have to make an appointment, just play for a while. I ask you to come out, so you can't play around, you have to go back immediately."
Qiao Yu lit her head like a chicken pecking at rice, and her chin gradually became rounded almost hit her chest, and she honestly promised that she would never be willful.
Chengxin immediately arranged it for him. He had been in the imperial kitchen for less than a month and was very powerful. He found an excuse to borrow clothes from a small eunuch of similar size and asked Qiao Yu to change it in the room where he rested. He was coming out to Chengxin to show him. He looked good. No matter which palace clothes he wore, they were different from others. He was holding his head up and trying to praise him, Chengxin suddenly paused and saw two eunuchs coming from a distance, with many people following behind him.
The two of them were about the same age as the same person. They were not tall and were quite handsome. The one on the left was called Fu, with very high cheekbones and thin lips, which was inevitably mean. The other was called out with a full voice, arrogant and arrogant. He saw Xu Xin from afar and spitted.
They were the capable officials in the palace of Concubine Feng. Concubine Feng was just favored. No one dared to offend them now except the palace servants from Emperor Yuande.
Before he could take care of Qiao Yu, he turned around and greeted Defudequan. The three of them exchanged a few words in conjunction with each other. He was about to prepare the dishes of Chenyun Palace, but suddenly he heard Quan's sharp voice full of surprise, "Oh, Master Cheng Xin, you have transferred to such a place, and there is such a beautiful eunuch accompanying you?"
Shuixin was shocked, turned his head and saw Quan's eyes falling on Qiao Yu.
If Qiao Yu was not satisfied, he would not dare to leave. He was standing stupidly not far from the square chair, looking up at the satisfactory shadow. He looked innocent and childish, and particularly beautiful. It was not a good thing to have a humble and beautiful position in the palace.
And Dequan's eyes were full of greed and desire that could not be blocked. I have seen it many times, and many people were ruined by it.
"What's the matter? They are all stupid kids who can't teach them, and they're so dirty that all the father-in-law's eyes are."
He answered with caution, but finally his hands trembled and knocked over a plate of dishes beside him.
There was still a light in Jingyan's house. He sat on a chair, holding a volume of the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" compiled from the parcel of the Scriptures.
According to the usual rules, there shouldn't be any more books in the Taiqing Palace, so as not to read Jing Yan and have a rebellious intention. Emperor Yuande issued a verdict to the Daokou, saying that he would allow the Dian to bring some Buddhist scriptures to the deposed prince when he was delivering things to the government. He ordered him to recite them every day to save the resentful spirits who died in vain because of the Chen family.
A gust of breeze passed by, and the candlelight as big as beans swayed slightly on the window paper, and suddenly became much brighter.
Jing Yan raised his eyes, but in a flash, a man in black leaned down in front of him and knelt down, asking slowly: "What's the important thing?"
The man in black was the secret guard who was placed beside the emperor during his lifetime. He was originally sent by Emperor Yuande to monitor Jing Yan. However, because he was afraid that the relationship would be too close and it was difficult to hide his feet, he agreed to tell him about daily affairs by letter, unless something really happened that needed to be reported. And today he had received the letter, and no matter what, the secret guard should not come again.
The secret guard's voice was low and hoarse, but he couldn't hide his joy. He kowtowed and reported: "I just got the news from outside that the young general was forced to fall off the cliff and did not die. He had contacted people from the southern border."
The young general is named Chen Sang, and is Chen Ming's old son, Jing Yan's uncle. He is nine years older. Because his mother passed away early, his elder sister is like his mother, almost raised by Empress Chen. Chen Sang has been outstanding since childhood. He can follow Chen Ming to the battlefield at the age of sixteen, killing enemies and drinking blood, which is no worse than the soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time. However, because of the Chen family and Emperor Yuande, he was sent to the palace to be a guard for several years, only two years ago.
He left the palace and rushed to the battlefield again, with many military achievements. Last autumn, there was a great chaos in the southern border. Chen Sang volunteered to Ying, and the battle situation was very good, but he died there unexpectedly. Later, the Chen family overturned, and Chen Sang was revealed again. He was defiled and had once colluded with the enemy of the thief leader in the southern border. He was pushed off the cliff because of uneven distribution of spoils. Everyone knows that Chen Sang made a vow when he was five years old to be loyal to the king and the country, and he was indeed dead, but he could not even keep his innocence after his death.
Jing Yan didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he turned a page of Buddhist scriptures. It was the only sound in this quiet dark night.
The secret guard secretly looked up and glanced at Jing Yan with his own eyes.
Jing Yan closed the Buddhist scriptures, and the candlelight not far away jumped in his pupils, as if it was bright and extinguished.
He whispered softly: "Does my uncle plan now from the news from the southern Xinjiang tell me what he is planning? He wants to take revenge, and he has his own arrangements. If so, as usual, if he wants to make trouble for the wronged, he will be killed directly in southern Xinjiang and accompany his grandfather and mother, and there is no need to struggle in this world anymore."
The secret guards shook all over and didn't dare to say anything more. The Chen family was together with more than 100 people, and in the end, there was only one Chen Sang who had recovered from the dead.
Jing Yan smiled again and asked, "Fourteen, what did you say?"
It is said that Empress Chen was very beautiful when she was young and was different from others. When burning incense in the Great Bear Temple, she was praised by the host for the great beauty in the world, but she looked very good at Buddhahood. Jing Yan Xiaomu looked like the Buddha when she smiled slightly, just like the Buddha's expression when she was compassionate.
But he had known for a long time that the prince was not a Buddha, but an evil ghost.
The secret guard was named Xiao Shisi. He was the person who was placed by Empress Chen by the emperor more than ten years ago. At that time, the emperor and Empress were newlywed, and Emperor Yuande had never experienced the failed imperial command. It was a love and a bondage. They were rarely thought of their children. They took advantage of the lack of official duties for a day and went out for a walk in the early spring. On the way, they met a group of gangsters. The secret guards around Emperor Yuande revealed their fortunes and were remembered by Empress Chen. She thought for a long time, but she still did not let go of her guard and found an opportunity to send several orphans who had grown up in the Chen family and were old-fashioned.
She thought that if her affection with Emperor Yuande remained unchanged in the next ten years, she would tell the other party about this and apologize in person.
But Emperor Yuande was unable to survive for two years because of her and the Chen family’s wishes.
Most of the children who died during the process of growing up were not left, among which Xiao Shisi was the highest grade and often accompanied the emperor. Last autumn, when Jing Yan was fourteen, the border was in a hurry. Some people colluded with foreign thieves in the southern border, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil, and the people were already living in poverty. At that time, Chen Ming had already put down his military power not long ago and was at home to support his elderly care. After hearing this news, he asked to go to war when he was in court, but was rejected by Emperor Yuande for his old age and sickness, and no longer allowed the Chen family to be infected with military power.
Xiao Shisi risked his life to get the real news about southern Xinjiang from the emperor, which is much worse than reporting now. Because it is too important, he personally reported to the queen.
When the queen saw the grief, she couldn't bear it. She wanted Chen Sang to go to war against the emperor's will and quell the war. At that time, the relationship between the emperor and the Chen family was already very tense, and it was only after the revocation of military power to ease, but the queen was still willing to do this again, which really made Xiao Shisi relieved.
He saw the prince coming from the small Buddhist temple. The cloak he took off was soaked with sandalwood, with a slight curling atmosphere of fireworks.
Jing Yan glanced at the secret letter he handed over, but refused to allow Chen Sang to ask for the order again. The queen asked him, and Jing Yan pointed to the secret letter and said, "If you ask for the order again, you will indeed be approved. But by this time next year, there will be no Chen family again."
