No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

When he was getting ready to go to bed that night, the Fourth Master received a report from the secret guard, reporting every move of Miss Jin.

After hearing this, Lin Mingyan said to the Fourth Master, "You were too aggressive this afternoon. Even the little girl couldn't perform well."

In fact, she didn't have any role to play and couldn't display her talents, which is a bit regrettable.

The Fourth Master hugged her and said, "I can talk about other things, but I can't talk about you."

It’s not her turn to say anything bad about Cha Cha. It makes her uncomfortable to hear it.

Lin Mingyan handed him a bowl of bird's nest and lotus seed soup: "Huh, there's so much sugar in your mouth, just drink some bird's nest soup to balance it out."

She knew that the Fourth Master hated such sticky things the most, but he was too thin now, so drinking some bird's nest would be more nutritious.

The Fourth Master had no choice but to take it and swallow it in one gulp, fearing that she would feel bad.

As soon as he finished drinking, Lin Mingyan brought him some water to clear the sticky taste in his mouth.

"I'll punish you to drink for a month and see if you dare not take care of your body next time," Lin Mingyan wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

The Fourth Master held the person in his arms and sighed in his heart.

When he was young, he never thought that one day someone would force him to eat a bowl of sticky soup.

That was something that neither the Emperor nor Empress Tong could accomplish.

"When I lived with Queen Tong, every time it rained, sticky slugs would crawl all over the window frames."

The Fourth Master's eyes were blank, and he suddenly talked about his childhood, "When I was young, I was curious about everything."

"While the young eunuchs were not paying attention, I caught a lot of them and kept them all in the wooden inkstone box."

"Feed them a little fresh leaves or grass every day for two days."

Lin Mingyan didn't like these soft things. She got goose bumps when she heard this: "Hiss~ Don't you find it disgusting?"

It's hard to imagine that some people still keep slugs as pets.

Then raise a chicken and follow it around every day, and eat the goose bumps that fall off until it is full.

"I felt a little disgusted, but it was more of a novelty," the Fourth Master couldn't imagine what he felt at that time.

Brothers also want to compete with each other, and some novel pets can attract more envious glances.

"What happened next?" Lin Mingyan didn't quite understand why he suddenly said this and asked puzzledly.

Could it be that the pet died?

Hurt his young heart?

The Fourth Master pursed his lips, his expression a bit strange: "Later, Madam Tong came to see me doing my homework and opened the inkstone box..."

"Hiss~~" Lin Mingyan's scalp tingled when she thought of this scene.

Not to mention the pampered queen, any woman would tremble when seeing this thing, right?

The Fourth Master continued, "...I was punished to stand in the corridor, and the eunuchs caught many slugs and put them on my feet, hands, body, and face..."

To this day, he still dreams about that day in the middle of the night.

He wanted to run, but he couldn't. The slugs covered him and crawled all over him, drowning him and suffocating him.

From then on, his hands couldn't stop shaking whenever he saw something sticky.

The food eunuch was punished a few times, and there was no sticky stuff on his table anymore.

It was not until Cha Cha brought him a bowl of Tremella soup that he realized that the nightmare was nothing more than that.

Lin Mingyan felt distressed when she heard this and quickly said, "I...I don't know. I won't give you these drinks next time!"

She really didn't expect that the Fourth Master had been abused by Queen Tong!

It doesn’t mean that only beating and scolding are abuse; psychological abuse is even more serious.

But she forced the Fourth Master to drink such things, which reminded him of the psychological trauma of his childhood.

She deserves to die!

"Cha Cha, don't get excited." Seeing her guilt, the Fourth Master immediately hugged her and comforted her: "I'm not afraid now. Bird's nest tastes pretty good."

I'm not afraid anymore. That person has turned to ashes. What else is there to be afraid of?

Lin Mingyan was still heartbroken. She knew that the Fourth Master had been neglected by his father and mother since he was a child, as evidenced by historical records.

But he didn't expect that as a prince, he would be tortured like this at such a young age.

Really, I wish I could be his mother when I travel through time!

"What a crybaby," the Fourth Master rubbed her head, wishing he could rub it into her flesh.

In the eyes of Cha Cha, who loves him, this is a huge injustice.

In the eyes of Queen Tong, this was not really a serious punishment.

She neither beat nor scolded him, nor did she go to the emperor to complain and make him kneel as punishment.

It was just a small lesson for him, telling him to study hard and not to indulge in pleasure.

Lin Mingyan lay in his arms, sobbing and saying, "When I was a child, I picked up a dog named Xiao Hei."

"Xiao Hei is so small. He might be someone's abandoned pet dog and the offspring of a village dog."

"It looks like a local dog, but it eats very little and doesn't grow big."

"I save a mouthful of rice from my mouth, and often steal a mouthful for the pigs when I feed them."

"It just grew so big that it couldn't live in our house because I didn't have room of my own."

"It's so smart. It finds a place to hide in the wind next to my house. Whenever I go out or come home, it rushes over and wags its tail at me..."

Her only playmate when she was a child was Xiao Hei, who was not only a pet but also her friend.

The Fourth Master didn't understand at first, but after listening for a while he realized that this was something that happened in Cha Cha's "past".

He keenly extracted useful information from these words: the dog he picked up had no food to eat, no room to stay, and he had to feed the pigs...

I'm having a very bad time.

"What happened next?" The Fourth Master hugged her tighter.

Lin Mingyan pursed her lips out of habit: "Later, I... that man peeled off my skin. He gave half to my uncle and the other half."

That day was the junior high school entrance examination. When she went out, Xiao Hei, unusually, did not come to see her off.

But I was in a hurry to take the exam, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

When I came back after the exam, Xiao Hei was already hanging in the yard.

She would have nightmares before all the exams thereafter.

Either he couldn't find the examination room, or he couldn't find Xiao Hei. He ran around in circles anxiously and finally woke up in shock.

The Fourth Master is also a dog lover. When he heard this, he was furious and wanted to chop up these bastards who hurt Cha Cha.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't cry, Chacha. When we get back, I'll raise you another one just like it."

"Can a local dog enter the Prince's Mansion?" Lin Mingyan asked blankly.

In fact, she still doesn't understand why. Xiao Hei is so small that he can't grow up at all, and he doesn't have much meat. Why does she have to eat it?

Are all local dogs so unlucky?

The Fourth Master said firmly, "Of course, if you like, I'll change its name to something other than Tu Gou!"

"What's that called?"

"Call me your noble dog! I order all the servants under me to raise it!" The Fourth Master was extremely domineering.

wow~

Judging from this gentleman's temperament, our Chinese native dog might be called the Chinese noble dog in the future!
