Cao Miao entered the palace and stopped in front of the small courtyard.

Hongxing was puzzled, poked her head over, and glanced at Cao Miao timidly. "Prince, when you arrive, won't you go in?"

"Put down the mat and come with me."

Hongxing didn't dare to say more, oh, and put the seat in her arms on the inside of the courtyard gate. Cao Miao took the red apricot and walked more than a dozen steps along the alley, passing through the back hall of the main courtyard and coming to the East Cross Courtyard.

In the Han Dynasty, the west was respected, the east was humbled, and the east courtyard was the kitchen and the dormitory of the guards and maidservants, as well as the storage of weapons, chariots and horses. Cao Zhi's mother, Mrs. Xie, was born as a maidservant and is still a concubine, although she serves Cao Zhi all the year round and eats and lives with Cao Zhi, but her nominal residence is still in the East Cross Courtyard, and now Cao Zhi lives.

The small courtyard is very cramped, far less spacious than Cao Miao's small courtyard, and there are only two rooms in the front, half of which are halls and half are rooms. There were houses on both sides for slaves and maids to live in. Although Cao Zhi was only twelve years old, he had two maids. An eighteen, called Chunhua. An eleven, called Qiu Xiang. There are also a few small slaves, doing some miscellaneous work such as sprinkling and sweeping.

It was rare for Cao Miao to come to Cao Zhi's yard, and the people in the courtyard were not prepared, and they were a little panicked when they saw Cao Miao striding over.

The rumor that the eldest prince eats people and doesn't spit out bones is too terrifying.

Cao Miao glanced at them briefly, ignored them, and walked straight into the main room. Cao Zhi was lying on the bed, changing the dressing from Chunhua, and an orchid was standing aside and waiting. Seeing Cao Miao come in, Chunhua hurriedly put down the things in his hand and got up to salute. Cao Zhi was also a little flustered, struggling to get up and saluting Cao Miao.

Cao Miao waved his hand, signaling that Cao Zhi did not have to be formal. He turned to look around. The furnishings in Cao Zhi's room are very simple, even a little shabby, except for more books, almost the four walls are empty. Cao Miao picked up a roll of bamboo slips casually, flipped through it, didn't understand it, and put it down again.

Chunhua finished changing the medicine for Cao Zhi and withdrew with Orchid. After a while, a cup of tea was brought and the door was closed when I went out.

Cao Miao sat on the edge of Cao Zhi's bed and looked at Cao Zhi's injury. As Cao Zhi said, it's just a flesh wound, which looks scary, but it's not a big problem. As long as you don't get infected, it won't take a few days to get better.

"That orchid was in good shape just now." Cao Miao cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile. "It looks familiar."

"Uh......" Cao Zhi was a little embarrassed. I showed it to my brother, but my brother didn't like it. ”

"The face is not good-looking." Cao Miao smiled even more ambiguously. "But the butt is very warped, and it should be nice from behind."

Cao Zhi was speechless, moved his body with great effort, turned his head, and looked away.

Cao Miao squinted at Cao Zhi. "The legs are also good, thin and long, and they look strong. Hey, Yungong, what's wrong with you, your face is so red? ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Cao Zhi said in a slurch, moved his body again, and quietly pouted his buttocks.

"How old is she?"

"Twenty."

"I'm eight years older than you."

"Hmm...... Well. ”

"Like your father, you like to be older?"

Cao Zhisheng's face flushed. "Ah...... Isn't my brother also too thin to be green? ”

"Shaft, do you dare to be hard-mouthed?" Cao Miao raised her hand and slapped Cao Zhigao's pouting buttocks. Cao Zhi was caught off guard, screamed miserably, and begged for mercy again and again. "Brother, brother, it hurts."

"Where does it hurt? Does it hurt in the butt, or does it hurt somewhere else? ”

"It hurts! It all hurts! Cao Zhi had a bitter face, and tears came out.

Cao Miao pursed her lips. "Has the hair grown? Little kid, don't learn well. Early marriage and early childbearing, congenital insufficiency, and children born are prone to early death. ”

"Really?" Cao Zhi was skeptical.

"From now on, you are not allowed to touch women until you are eighteen years old, otherwise you will be beaten once. Do you hear that? ”

"Huh?" Cao Zhigang wanted to refute, but when he saw that Cao Miao's face was not good, he swallowed back again. "Thank you, brother, for coming to see me. I'm fine, I'll be fine in two days. Also, thanks to the money given by my brother, the gold sore medicine I just bought has a good effect. ”

"Don't be reluctant to give up the money, eat something good these two days." Cao Miao put away her smile and groaned for a moment. "My father came to me just now."

"Oh?" Cao Zhi shook up his upper body and lay on his side, while quietly pulling over the thin quilt to cover his lower body. "What did you all say?"

"Can you make a difference?" Cao Miao despised him very much. Although the boy is lustful, Cao Zhi is too easy to get excited.

"Ahem, get down to business, get down to business. Father is looking for you, is it about Cao Shuang? You don't have to worry, Cao Shuang was just taught by his brother in front of him and lost face, so he got angry. When he calmed down, he knew that Brother was for his good. But, brother, you're ...... today It's a bit too much. ”

"What?"

"Cao Shuang is a messenger sent by His Majesty, and he is His Majesty's eyes and ears. If he told His Majesty that Brother's illness had not yet recovered, I was afraid that it would affect Brother Brother's inheritance of his father's title in the future. It stands to reason that after the elder brother is weak, the father can go to the edict to ask for an heir. Unless there is a suitable reason, His Majesty will generally approve it. But if the elder brother is sick, it is difficult to say. ”

Cao Miao looked at Cao Zhi and did not speak.

Cao Zhi's eyes were clear, and he couldn't see any fakes. He knew that Cao Miao was not recorded in history, and Cao Zhi finally took Cao Zhi as his heir, and called him "Baojiazi", which means that Cao Zhian will keep to himself and will not cause trouble. The truth is also as Cao Zhi expected, Cao Zhi is very peaceful, and he also mixed well in the Jin Dynasty, and even became friends with Sima Yan. It was only later that a sense of justice broke out and he wanted to be a loyal minister of the Great Jin Dynasty, so he was not guaranteed to be late.

"Yungong, I have been sick for ten years, and you have taken care of me for ten years. If my illness has been bad, will you take care of me for the rest of my life? ”

"Brother, don't say that......"

Cao Miao interrupted Cao Zhi. "I mean if."

"Of course." Cao Zhi burst into tears and reached out to grab Cao Miao's sleeve. "Brother, although we are not born of the same mother, we are brothers who are related by blood, how can we abandon each other? First...... The matter between the first emperor and my father is a pain in the world, although I am not talented, I do not want to follow in his footsteps. ”

Cao Miao turned her head to look at the room full of books, her nose a little sour.

In his previous life, he was an only child, without brothers and sisters, in the memory of this life, his mother Mrs. Cui was given to death, and he had a grudge against his father Cao Zhi, and he didn't say a word for ten years, and he was desolate everywhere, only this younger brother had a trace of warmth in his memory. The road ahead is very long and dangerous, and it may even be a sea of corpses and blood, and he needs a place to put his soul.

"Take good care of your injuries, and teach you the way to immortality after your injuries." Cao Miao got up, took two steps out, and turned back again. "Remember, you are not allowed to touch a woman until you are eighteen. Otherwise, I'll find ten or eight stout women and kill you. ”
