Chapter 58: I have a brother you don't (1)

      Above the foot-wide slump, a little man wrapped in a red jacket looked particularly conspicuous.

    This red jacket is embroidered with fine python patterns, and the satin finish shows that the material is of great value. However, no matter how precious the fabric is, there is no such delicate face as the little man's pink and jade carving. From a distance, it is really a pink and jade doll.

    At this time, the little man was sitting on the six-foot-wide dragon cave, dangling his two short legs, and his chubby little hands supported his chin with a contemplative look.

    Three years old!

    She turned into a three-year-old kid.

    Here her name is Cheng Ningjiu, and she is the most favored ninth prince in the prosperous dynasty. .

      There were five daughters before this.

    At that time, the Manchu Dynasty was overjoyed in civil and military affairs, and then seven sons and two daughters were born one after another in the next ten years.

    Now Emperor Ming Sheng is seventy-three years old, the eldest princess died at the age of forty-nine, the second princess is also fifty-nine years old this year, and the youngest princess in the harem is fifteen. The first prince was in his prime at the age of thirty, and even the eighth prince was already nineteen.

    Establishing a prince means starting to try to decentralize.

    Since Emperor Shengming of Ming Dynasty ascended the throne, countless ministers have asked him to establish a prince. However, Emperor Ming Sheng, who ascended the throne at the age of fifty, didn't like the fall of imperial power. He was built on the flesh and blood of his brothers along the way, and he didn't believe anyone except himself.

    However, as he grows older, the voice of the court for the establishment of the prince is getting louder and louder. Emperor Ming Sheng was not happy in his heart, and because of his age, he was constantly suspicious and suppressed his son all day long.

    Until his new favorite concubine was pregnant, Emperor Ming Sheng was overjoyed and directly regarded her as the virtuous queen. Empress Xiande was the daughter of the Taifu. She entered the palace at the age of thirteen. It was not until the age of twenty-three that she was favored by the drunken Emperor Mingsheng. I thought my life was about to end here, but I didn't expect to have a successful child.

    However, this is not a good thing.

    Emperor Ming Sheng determined that Queen Xiande's belly was the prince, and even planned to make her the prince. According to Emperor Ming Sheng's idea, it will take a long time for the little prince to grow up, and his imperial power will not be overridden by other sons.

    Unfortunately…

    Empress Xiande knew that Emperor Ming Sheng had high expectations for the baby in his womb and hoped that he would become a dragon. It was even said that Jiu'er would be the only eldest son born to the queen, and in her womb, she gave the name of Queen Xiande's boudoir as the ninth character of Queen Xiande's boudoir name.

    Nine is the biggest, and nine and nine are one. This name expresses the strong desire of Emperor Ming Sheng.

    As a result, Queen Xiande gave birth to a daughter. In order not to be beheaded by the enraged Emperor Ming Sheng, he had to bribe the imperial doctor, claiming that he was the ninth prince.

    Cheng Ningjiu, "..." may be because she chose the mission of Raiders Favorability Value, so this is the first time Cheng Ningjiu arrived in a new mission world and immediately knew why she was disguised as a man. But, is it too arrogant to disguise a man as a prince in front of the emperor?

    Sure enough, Emperor Mingsheng was overjoyed after hiding his daughter and saying that it was the birth of the Ninth Prince. But Queen Xiande knew that this was not a long-term plan, and she always refused to let Emperor Mingsheng make Cheng Ningjiu the crown prince.

    This delay is three years.

    However, it can't go any further. Emperor Ming Sheng sent someone to take Cheng Ningjiu over, preparing to canonize him as a prince in front of those old antiques.

    According to the plot in my mind, the next step is to be named a prince, and then subjected to fancy suppression by eight brothers, and the father pulled out to block the gun, and faced various courtrooms Both sides of the harem attacked.

    Before the real male protagonist grows up, she is a target!

     

    No no no!

    She is only three years old now, and she is still a thriving young flower, but she cannot be poisoned and destroyed by the imperial power struggle.

    With her short legs, Cheng Ningjiu wanted to jump off the top of the dragon tower, but according to her current height of less than one meter, the ground is really too high, there are two of her so tall. And if his white and tender little arm and calf fell, it would definitely hurt.

    So, Cheng Ningjiu thought for a while, then turned around, carefully probing her short legs, and trying her best to climb down. While crawling, he was still aiming at the ground, seeing that his short legs were getting closer to the ground.

    Cheng Ningjiu cheered in her heart, and stepped on the ground with the pride of the gymnasts who landed perfectly.

    Beautiful.

    Lifting her chin proudly, Cheng Ningjiu waved her hand towards the imperial study, saying goodbye to her father, and Jiujiu withdrew. Don't give her the position of the prince today.

    Cheng Ningjiu, who was stepping on the ground, was ready to slip away triumphantly. Suddenly, she felt that she was being carried by the collar, and instantly flew more than one meter into the air!

    Who, who?

    Cheng Ningjiu's short arms and legs fluttered in the air, but she still couldn't see the culprit. After kicking her short legs twice, Cheng Ningjiu was tired. With a sad sigh, a three-year-old baby has no human rights, no matter who you are, "Hurry up and let me go!"

    According to Cheng Ningjiu's attitude, she is seriously losing her temper now. After all, she has never been bullied like this before. As a result, as soon as he opened his mouth, it was a small voice with a milky voice, soft and soft as if he was acting like a spoiled child.

    As expected, the man heard his voice directly, turned her around, and a pair of dark eyes fell on Cheng Ningjiu's body, shaking Cheng Ningjiu a few times.

    It felt like Cheng Ningjiu's actions when she saw the kitten, she used to tease the kitten like this. But, she is a person. Although this posture will not hurt her, do you understand the face problem? Cheng Ningjiu stared blankly at this daring fellow, "Let go of this prince!"

    Anyway, she is also the little prince, so give me some face

    However, the person holding Cheng Ningjiu thought it was very interesting. This little thing was held tightly by the empress, who said that she was born in less than a month, so her body is delicate and needs to be well-bred, even the father and emperor. Are used to petting.

    He looks at it now, but he is not as weak as the rumors say.

    Look at these short legs, I wish I could kick him in the face, and those big round grape-like eyes are almost staring out. Does this little thing know that he is a prince?

    "Call the emperor to listen." Carrying Cheng Ningjiu, the eldest prince found it very interesting. Because of the suspicious character of the father, he knew how to protect himself early on. The father hated to worry about his children. He was the eldest son, so as long as he had no heirs for the time being, the father would not pay more attention to himself. body.

    So now at the age of 30, he has yet to marry a wife, and he is even domineering in the entire palace. The reason is that the courtier will not ask for orders to make himself a prince. You can survive in this palace without being regarded as a thorn in your side by the father.

    Because he knows where his father's bottom line is, he is relatively comfortable in the entire palace. He can do whatever he wants. Then you can ride horses and parade through the streets at will, as long as you can make your father relax, you will have a good life. Sure enough, the more arrogant he was, the happier the father was, and he even pampered himself.

    To survive in the courtroom, first learn to speculate on the Sacred Heart, and then remember your identity as a prince. Although there were several bed-warming concubines, he did not let them bear his own children.

     

    Huh?

    Brother?

    Cheng Ningjiu looked at the man who was carrying him wearing a military uniform, not a python robe that symbolized the identity of the prince. There was even a long sword on his back. The one who is so arrogant in the entire palace is the eldest prince. Thinking of the heroic deeds of the eldest prince, as well as his clever hiding skills, so that he can protect himself no matter which prince fights openly and secretly, and even became an idle prince in the end, never involved in the imperial power struggle party at all, thought of the eldest prince's In the future, Cheng Ningjiu expressed that he was a little envious.

    Ah, this playful life as a prince, as well as the unrestrained life of an idle prince in the future, is what she dreams of!

    After knowing the identity of this person, Cheng Ningjiu looked at him with envy in his eyes, "Brother Huang."

    "Good." The little doll's expression of admiration made the eldest prince feel very surprised. No one has ever dared to be so close to him. The mother and concubine died early, and the father was suspicious. The brothers fought openly and secretly for the crown prince, and he had no one close to him in the huge palace.

    The little doll's eyes that do not contain any calculation and suspicion are unexpectedly cute. No wonder Queen Xiande hid such a small thing tightly.

    Holding Cheng Ningjiu, the more she looked at it, the more cute she felt. The eldest prince thought about it and prepared to take people out to play. Seeing that he seemed to be taking her away, Cheng Ningjiu was in no hurry to get out. After all, she couldn't walk very far with her short legs, and she was tired. She was a little sleepy just after struggling.

      "Ah!" Unconsciously, Cheng Ningjiu yawned and wanted to sleep.

    Just as the door opened, Eunuch Li, who was looking for Cheng Ningjiu was missing, exclaimed and rushed over, "Hey, my Highness, please put down the little Highness! Your pampered little Highness can't compare to the body you scrambling around on the school grounds..."

    "Here you are." Being quarreled with Eunuch Li, he had a headache. His Royal Highness directly took Cheng Ningjiu over. Eunuch Li was in a hurry to pick him up, but he was caught halfway by Zhang next to Emperor Ming Sheng. The father-in-law took it.

    What? The emperor's personal eunuch? You go away, she doesn't want to be a prince. Cheng Ningjiu was willing to go with him, but Eunuch Li was unreliable, so she fluttered with her short legs and looked at the eldest brother expectantly, "Brother, brother... I want brother to hug!"
