Chapter 5: Little Flowers
Min Bai was originally full of joy.
The young man thought that he had done a big thing, and he had just been praised by many adults in the front office, but when he turned around, he scolded his mother so badly.
It was like a basin of snow water splashing down on his head, so that the young little highness couldn't help but blush, cold and breathless.
He knew his mother, who was not from a high background and had limited knowledge.
Her father originally assigned a number of sensible aunts in the palace to teach her, but Concubine Xu Xian did not learn or listen to anything except for learning a "palace" and shaking her majesty.
I am only willing to think about myself in everything, and I don't want to think about the big picture at all. Let him break the truth like this, crumple it, and tell her little by little, but he still can't listen to it.
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land.
As the eldest prince of Emperor Yan Cheng, why can't he do something for the people on both sides of the strait?
Even if it is separated by a river, can it be that the lighthouse is built, only the people of Jiangzhou can see it, but the people of Huzhou can't see it?
When it comes to lamp oil, it's even more nonsense.
In the past, in the capital, in order to curse those "fox spirits", his mother donated lamp oil to major temples, not to mention hundreds of catties at a time, why didn't she think she couldn't live?
Under the pressure of the courtiers, the father did not know how many concessions he made in private, so he sent him, the underage prince and Yuan, to the fiefdom.
They have not yet gained a stable foothold, and they want to take the opportunity to do something to win people's hearts and minds so as to relieve the pressure on their father. But what about the, not to mention support, but also to pull back legs!
Even if this is his mother-in-law, Min Bai has to say fairly, at his mother's level, she is a small housewife. If she really wore the queen's phoenix crown on her head, it would be a big mess in the world.
But this is his own mother, no matter how bad he is, what can he do?
Min Bai could only say one thing, and he wanted to hide more about it.
"Queen, pregnant."
Concubine Xu Xian's face changed suddenly.
No matter how ignorant she was, she knew that no other woman in the palace or the children born to them could pass her and her son.
Only the Queen, only the Queen!
The queen set up by Emperor Yan Cheng when he ascended the throne was also surnamed Xu.
You can have the same surname and different lives.
is different from Concubine Xu Xian, a small family, but after the princess, the daughter of the family. She is also beautiful and virtuous, and has outstanding talents.
However, in the six years that Concubine Xu Xian stayed in the palace, this Empress Xu only gave birth to a daughter.
It's not that you can't give birth, it's not that you don't want to give birth, it's that you can't give birth at all!
Concubine Xu Xian doesn't have too deep scheming, nor does she have too many means, but as long as she is in the palace, she will always make trouble so that Emperor Cheng can't pamper other concubines, especially the queen.
It's not that it's really impossible, it's just that it's unbearable.
couldn't bear to let his wife, who accompanied him, really see the cruelty of the palace struggle, so Emperor Cheng silently suppressed everything.
But the emperor and queen are in their prime, but no concubine has ever been born in the palace, which is a great ominous thing for the world.
When Min Bai entered the palace with his father, he was five or six years old.
So he still remembered how he was used by his mother at that time, running to his father again and again to be coquettish, and running to the queen's palace to cry.
The father endured it, and the queen endured it.
Again and again, year after year.
It wasn't until Min Bai grew older, and one day when Concubine Xu Xian repeated his old plan, he suddenly saw a disgust in his father's eyes that was so thick that he couldn't hide it.
and the corners of the queen's lips, that touch of sneering.
Min Bai was shocked for a while, and suddenly understood.
There is no emotion, it can withstand such a squander. If they stay in the palace any longer, there will be only one fate for their mother and son.
It's better to take advantage of the lingering feelings, one part, two wide, and everyone rejoices.
And the last acquiescence of the father and the emperor also silently explained a lot of problems.
But Concubine Xu Xian didn't understand, or rather, she didn't want to understand these at all.
Only stubbornly entangled, "What then?" How can she get pregnant, how can your father get her pregnant again! ”
Min Bai reluctantly persuaded, "So, mother, we have to do more good deeds to let our father remember our benefits." Didn't you just get a reward from your father for helping the people affected by the disaster this time? Let's build another tower, and my father will be even happier. ”
"Okay, well, that tower must be built higher so that more people can see it!"
"Okay."
Finally coaxed the mother of the six gods and no owner, Min Bai returned to the room, only to feel so tired.
But even so, he didn't forget something.
Summoned the little eunuch next to him, "You go and find fifty, no, one hundred taels of silver, and quietly send it to Ruigu." Remember, ask for a silver ticket. ”
The silver is too eye-catching, but the silver ticket is appropriate.
Min Bai, who was born in the people, knows that although this thing is vulgar, it is the most capable of doing things.
The moment he staggered, in addition to smelling the faint fragrance of soap, he also swept the old clothes that had been obviously sewn.
And when the little girl lowered her head, under the thick crow blue hair, a piece of pink neck became more and more snow-white.
Like,
The little white cat he had when he was a child.
He also gave it a name, Little Flower.
Because it's like the magnolia that blooms in the yard, it's snow-white and beautiful. Quiet and well-behaved.
Lying on his lap obediently every day, waiting for him to smooth his hair and play with him.
After washing it every time, the hair on the whole body will also be fragrant with soap.
What a wonderful time it was.
Although he is poor, he is the only baby in the family, and his father and mother love each other every day and love him wholeheartedly.
Later, they moved into the palace and got the highest wealth in the world, but there was no time like that.
Min Bai still remembers that on the day when someone from the palace came to pick up their family and leave, he only glanced at Xiaohua with disgust, and his mother didn't let him take Xiaohua with him.
It is said that it is a country cat, and it cannot be put on the table. The young Min Bai had no choice but to put the little flower down.
But he always remembered that when he left, Xiaohua looked at him, and there was such a sad and reluctant gaze in a pair of big watery eyes......
And today, when he saw the beautiful girl leaving without daring to raise her head, that obedient and gentle appearance instantly reminded him of Xiaohua.
She probably didn't know that she saved her, right?
She wouldn't know that because of saving her, although she was scolded by her mother, she was praised by her father, and she also won the nickname of Little White Dragon among the people. Someone is going to build a temple for him, which is the treatment only available to the sages of the past generations.
Although the young man was humble in front of others, he was very happy in his heart, and he just wanted to turn a few heels to celebrate!
But Xiaohua, ah no, is it the little girl?
You can only take a small reward and leave, and from then on the heavens will be separated.
Looking at her clothes, you know that her family is not in a good situation. Maybe there are a few younger brothers and sisters waiting for her to take them, cooking every day, fetching water and chopping wood, and doing all the housework......
His Royal Highness the King of Han, who fell into infinite associations, felt more and more pitiful for the beautiful girl.
There was a kind of indescribable remedy in his heart, which made him want to be kind to the poor little girl.
If it weren't for the fear that Concubine Xu Xian would make things difficult, he really wanted to give a big reward. Now he can only be rewarded with a hundred taels like a thief, Min Bai really feels that he owes others too much.
Ping An was stunned for a moment, then guessed three points, and said with a bitter face, "Don't be embarrassed for the master, I only have two taels of silver this month, how can I have so much money?" ”
It's true that you don't have money, but it's fake if you can't do it. I'm afraid to let the boss know that he looks good.
His Royal Highness, who was soft in his heart, put on a cold face, "If you don't have any money, borrow it, quickly!" ”
Those who can serve by the side of their master are not stupid.
Allowing him to borrow it is to allow him to report to the manager privately. There was a top tank above, and Ping An flew away.
It doesn't take long, and things are done.
Min Bai was satisfied, but he couldn't help but ask more, "That...... Are the eyes good-looking? ”
The face has been seen, and he suddenly wants to know, is the beautiful girl also like a little flower, with big watery eyes?
Ping An didn't dare to answer, and he didn't dare not answer, so he compromised, "When the little one cleans himself, he doesn't know the beauty and ugliness of the world." I only heard that the rules are good. ”
Min Bai raised his eyebrows.
A girl who has been in the house for a month and has not learned the rules seriously can make a tight-mouthed little eunuch like Ping An praise a good sentence, isn't it good?
It's a pity that the more this is the case, the more he can't meet him.
Hey, his poor little flower!
