Dressed as the Regent's fox pet

Chapter 24 Jade Card

The carriage entered the palace gate and pulled over after a short walk.Nie Mingchi got off the carriage and walked up the heavy steps on foot.

Nie Mingchi was relatively early, and after a while, horse-drawn carriages arrived one after another.

The one who came down was Taiwei Huo's carriage.

Huo Taiwei, formerly known as Huo Chengyu, was one of the three princes established by the late emperor, and is also the nominal uncle of the current emperor.Before his death, the first emperor entrusted the young emperor to Sangong, and he was one of the ministers who entrusted Gu.

However, since the prince returned to the court, the status of Huo Taiwei and the other two ministers has become delicate.

The carriage of the prime minister's family arrived later, only one step behind Huo Taiwei's.

As the number one scholar appointed by the late emperor, Prime Minister Liu was not only a good-looking talent, but also possessed sufficient talent and erudition.

Compared with the first two, the Yushi doctor who arrived later was slightly inferior.

Fang Ying watched the carriages of various families pull up and distinguished their respective official positions from the greetings of the courtiers.

But Fang Ying noticed one person from the corner of his eye.That was General Huo Shao who had met once, and his full name should have been heard from his conversations.

Huo Baicheng.

Fang Ying felt that the name seemed familiar for a while, but before he could remember why it sounded so familiar, the bell in the corner of the hall rang, indicating that it was almost time to go to court.

The officials walked up the white marble steps one by one, Fang Ying leaned against the carriage and watched them step into the hall.

Fang Ying went back to the carriage, picked up the book that Nie Mingchi had read earlier, and read it carefully to pass the time.

Not long after, Fang Ying couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell into a deep sleep.When he woke up, he found that Nie Mingchi had returned.

"If you don't sleep for a while, you haven't arrived at the palace yet." Nie Mingchi said with a light smile.

While Fang Ying was annoyed at being able to sleep so well, she also blamed herself for not being vigilant at all, not even noticing that there was an extra person in the carriage.

There was an awkward silence in the car.

After the carriage returned to the palace, Fang Ying was the first to jump out of the carriage, and Nie Mingchi stepped off the carriage slowly.

Fang Ying was arranged to serve by Nie Mingchi's side, and he had to do many things.

After eating, Nie Mingchi went back to the study to deal with official business, while Fang Ying rubbed ink beside him.

Grinding ink is a technical job, Fang Ying had to adapt for several days before he found the knack of grinding ink, so as not to be laughed at by Nie Mingchi.

For many consecutive days, Fang Ying would get up before dawn to help Nie Mingchi undress and wash up.

Finally, it was the day when Nie Mingchi took a rest.

Fang Ying has been by Nie Mingchi's side for many days, as if he has become Nie Mingchi's personal attendant.And when Fang Ying was still a fox, Nie Mingchi obviously did all these things by himself.

In the early morning of this day, Nie Mingchi was reading a book under the wisteria trellis, when the young emperor happened to come.

The young emperor has always been a restless character, so he happened to be taking a bath today, so he went out of the palace, wanting to collect folk songs and visit the little fox along the way.

When the young emperor came, Fang Ying could hear the sound of saluting from afar.

Not long after, Shaodi walked in through the gate with the tiger cub in his arms.

Fang Ying greeted the young emperor according to the rules, and before he got up, he heard a cry.

The tiger cub broke free from Shaodi's embrace at some point, jumped to the ground and circled around Fang Ying.It stretched out its head and sniffed Fang Ying's clothes, and soon a puzzled look appeared in the tiger's eyes.

As soon as the young emperor came in, he took the lead to find the little fox, but he couldn't find it after looking around the yard. He couldn't help but asked Nie Mingchi, "Little uncle, where is your fox?"

"I haven't been here for a while, maybe I went out to relax, and I will come back after a while." Nie Mingchi turned over a page and said.

"Ah?" The young emperor was a little surprised and disappointed, "Didn't you send someone to look for it?"

"I've looked for it, that little guy is smart, he might hide it somewhere, don't worry, it has no better place to go than the palace." Nie Mingchi said in a firm tone, "Last time it disappeared for a while and came back by itself, yes Has a criminal record."

After hearing what he said, Shao Di was slightly relieved, "That's good."

Fang Ying gritted his teeth while listening, and finally calmed down, when he heard Pang Bian Shaodi let out a light gasp.

"Have I met you? Why is it familiar?"

I must have seen it before, but Fang Ying couldn't tell the truth, so he could only bite the bullet and answer, "The young one is new to the house, and he hasn't seen His Majesty at first."

The young emperor nodded, indicating that he knew.He went to Fang Ying and picked up the tiger cub.

As soon as the tiger cub was picked up, it struggled non-stop, leaned towards Fang Ying with all its strength, and the young emperor patted it lightly, and the tiger cub stopped.

The young emperor seemed to be quite interested in Fang Ying, "Are you working in this palace? How about going back to the palace with me?"

Before Fang Ying could answer, Nie Mingchi's voice sounded from the side, "No, who will take care of Gu after he leaves?"

Shaodi thought for a while, and came up with an exchange condition, "If the little uncle agrees to release him, I will go to Taixue to study with peace of mind, and let him be my companion."

Nie Mingchi raised his eyebrows, "Just let him come into the palace to play with you occasionally. You don't have to spend a lot of time to make him a companion. Otherwise, how can you explain to the elders in the court?"

The emperor's accompanying reader is usually born in a noble family, among other things, if a young man of unknown origin is allowed to be the accompanying reader, tomorrow's memorials for participating in the book will fall like snowflakes.

Nie Mingchi didn't want to make the officials dissatisfied because of the young emperor's capriciousness.

The young emperor thought about it carefully, and this was the reason.But he finally found a peer who looked pleasing to the eye, and he didn't want to give up. "Then can I play with him anytime?"

"Just tell me when you want to take someone with you," Nie Mingchi said.

The young emperor nodded, barely satisfied with the result.He walked up to Fang Ying, "What's your name?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the young one should respond."

The young emperor nodded and remembered the name.

When Shaodi left, he took Fang Ying with him. He was going to play on the street, but now he was overjoyed to have a friend of the same age, so he took him directly to the street.

Fang Ying hasn't had a good look at the scenery of the Imperial City of Zhongzhou yet. Previously, he was in the form of a fox every time he came out, and he didn't have much chance to go out for a stroll. Now he has turned into a human form, and he can finally go shopping boldly.

Fang Ying followed the young emperor to stop and go, going to see clay figurines, jugglers, and shopping for candy.

The two of them had a great time, and even the young emperor had a happy smile on his face.

They wandered the streets until the afternoon, and the young emperor didn't let Fang Ying go back until it was almost the time of the imperial confinement.

When Fang Ying returned to the Prince's Mansion, he saw Nie Mingchi was still reading a book under the wisteria trellis. The setting sun elongated his silhouette, and the soft sunset light covered half of his face, and even the white clothes on his body were covered. Dye some warm colors.

"You're back?" Nie Mingchi said without raising his head.

"En." Fang Ying replied in a low voice.

Nie Mingchi was silent for a while, and then he got up and put away his books, "Zhen'er became the throne at the age of 11, and he lacked playmates when he was young, and the ones around him are the ones he is most familiar with. Punishment, punishment, treatment, there is almost no one close to him right now."

Fang Ying recalled the animal house that the owner had mentioned before, and thought of the companion who was punished by the young emperor.

Nie Mingchi continued, "This kid is an emperor, and the restrictions of his status make it difficult for him to make real friends. But he can't tell the truth from the fake, and he has a very high vision. Ordinary people can't get into his eyes. He can come to ask you today , I was surprised."

Not to mention Nie Mingchi, even Fang Ying himself was quite surprised.Just meeting him once and impatiently wanting to bring people to his side, this kind of action and determination is really good.

"Do you have something to say to me?" Fang Ying felt that Nie Mingchi was very much like a parent entrusting their children.

"Although Zhen'er is not doing his job properly, he is still kind-hearted. You are by his side, if you see someone deliberately misleading him in the future, you don't have to be polite. I will take care of you if any trouble arises."

Fang Ying blinked, and saw Nie Mingchi handing him a jade card.Fang Ying took a look, and there was a Chinese character Nie on it.

"Seeing this card is like seeing me. I don't believe they won't restrain themselves." Nie Mingchi snorted softly.

After thinking about it, Fang Ying still kept the jade plaque on his body, just in case.

After all, judging from the situation in the previous dynasty, intrigue is indispensable.Although he doesn't know the situation around the young emperor, he thinks all forces should be watching.

Speaking of which, the young emperor's side should not be the place for him to stay, but at this time he is very quiet, and he can't bear the pressure of the feudal hierarchy, so he can only be obedient.

After all, people are under the eaves, how can they not bow their heads.

Fang Ying touched the jade tablet in his bosom, feeling rather uncomfortable.Nie Mingchi saw that Fang Ying accepted the jade tablet, turned around and walked into the house.

In fact, he also had his own considerations for giving Fang Yingyu the Nie Mingchi, but it's not convenient to say it clearly now.

Fang Ying saw Nie Mingchi walking into the house, so he followed.

After dinner, Nie Mingchi took a shower and changed clothes as usual, while Fang Ying waited aside.

Recently, Nie Mingchi asked Fang Ying to continue telling the story of Journey to the West. Fang Ying spent the past few days resting on the soft bed in Nie Mingchi's room.

After taking a bath, Nie Mingchi stepped out of the screen, sat down on the bed, and listened to Fang Ying's talk about Journey to the West.It was almost the end of the speech, Fang Ying yawned and fell into a deep sleep.
