Centennial body

It was vaguely the 32nd year of Qianlong, and there were two teenagers squatting on the edge of the palace wall outside the Hall of Martial Arts. If you look carefully, these two teenagers are both skinny and handsome.

"Ahhun," He Lin asked while nibbling on the hard noodles in his hand, "Do you think we should save one and take it home to eat?"

He Shen patted his head, "No, you eat yours, you can grow taller when you are full, and you can leap and bend your bow when you grow taller. Be our Manchuria's Batulu!"

He Lin's eyebrows and eyes were crooked with a smile, and she picked up the dregs that fell on the clothes and ate them, her face full of joy and satisfaction.

He Shen took out the water bottle on his body and let him drink water, "Be careful not to choke."

He Lin got up after eating, and patted the hem of the mandarin jacket, "Ahhun, I'm too full, why don't we walk around the palace for a few laps to digest food."

Naturally, He Shen could not respond to his younger brother's request. The two of them walked slowly around the palace wall, not daring to go too far. After all, the Forbidden City has strict rules. Be careful to go where you shouldn't go, the two of them can't even save their lives.

From a distance, I saw a group of teenagers wearing flower feathers and yellow jackets coming out from the Taihe Gate, as if they were guards who had changed shifts leaving the palace.One of them seemed to stand out, and there was no other reason. This person was described as young, and he looked about the same age as He Lin, but he was already a third-class guard. He Shen couldn't help but secretly guess the origin of this person in his heart.

The team of people approached slowly, and He Shen took He Lin a few steps back, hiding in the shadows, it was winter now, although the palace gate hadn't been unlocked yet, the sky was already getting dark.If they found out that the two brothers were still in the palace and caught up with these few in a bad mood, they could naturally label them a big hat of overstaying the palace ban.

The pedestrian was already walking away, but suddenly the boy asked, "Who's there?"

Several guards approached with lanterns in an instant, and when they saw it was his two brothers, the one in the lead said: "Who are you waiting for, the key is about to be released, why are you still staying here?"

He Lin was still young and had never seen the world, she lowered her head and said silently, while He Shen hurriedly said: "Both of us are students of Xian'an Palace School, because my younger brother has just been admitted to Palace School, we So I took it upon myself to take him to look around in the palace school, and I was familiar with it. Because I thought that there was still a moment before the key of the palace gate was released, and I had time to walk slowly to the palace gate from here, I was not in a hurry, and the guards misunderstood."

After finishing speaking, he bowed and made a big salute, his attitude was extremely humble, which made people unbearable to blame.

Seeing that he is a student of palace studies, those guards must also come from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and they didn't want to embarrass him, so they said: "Forget it, you guys hurry up, next time we meet again, we won't be so lucky."

"Wait," the young man actually said again, "You say you are from Xian'an Palace, what evidence do you have? Which banner are you from, and what subject did you study?"

Naturally, He Shen answered fluently, "He Shen from Niu Hulu's family in Xiazheng Hongqi studied Sinology. This is a document for entering and leaving the palace. If you need witnesses...My mentor is Wu Shengqin, editor of the Imperial Academy."

"Oh," the leader looked him up and down, and said with a smile to the people beside him, "It was once said that Nalan Rong was the most beautiful man in Manchuria, but now it seems that he is not."

What this person said was frivolous, but he didn't seem to be very sloppy, which made it hard to feel disgusted.

"Aldu's words, I absolutely disagree." Fukangan sneered, "I am full of eight banners, and I have always regarded masculinity and masculinity as my beauty. When will such a cowardly sissy dare to compare with the son of Mingxiang?" ?”

What He Shen hated the most in his life was his own appearance. Because he was mistreated when he was young, he was far more slender and softer than men of the same age, and there was a bright red cinnabar mole on the side of his cheek, which added a bit of coquettishness.Hearing the young man's humiliation at this moment, his face turned pale, and he lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes.

He Lin on the side couldn't hold back, and opened her mouth: "You have no grievances with me, Ah Hun, why are you uttering such evil words?"

He Shen quickly grabbed him and covered his mouth.

The young man seemed to have lost interest in the two of them, and walked forward.

That's a kind man, Al Du smoothed things over and said: "There is nothing wrong here, you should hurry back before the palace gate is unlocked."

He Lin looked at the back of the group of people angrily, and said angrily: "What is it, is it the imperial guards?"

He Shen turned his head and left, his voice became cold, "The imperial guards are all nobles of the Eight Banners, so they are naturally remarkable. The one just now is even more remarkable!"

"Oh? Ah Hun, do you recognize him?"

He Shen breathed out slowly, "You should pay attention to some gossip, except for your usual books. Look at his clothes, he is a third-class guard, but his badge is the one for walking in the Qing Palace! He was only 13 years old. To be able to be an imperial bodyguard, and more importantly, to be able to walk beside the Holy Majesty of the Qianqing Palace, there is only one such person in the whole dynasty."

"Except for the nephew of the Empress Yuan who was raised by the emperor himself, the young son of the Fucha family, who else is there?"

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------

After He Shen finished talking about the previous events slowly, Fukang'an looked at him thoughtfully, "You and I met back then? I have no impression."

He Shen sneered, "Of course you don't remember us little people, and aren't you curious why I am so greedy for money?"

"That's right, your father was the vice capital of Fujian before his early death, and you also inherited the title..."

"Hehe," He Shen raised his head and drank the wine, "At the age of three, Er Nie died of dystocia in Fubao, and Ama was far away in Fujian, so I had to entrust us to my uncle and aunt. It's so harsh, but once Ama died in Fujian, Fubao and I became fish and meat. In an instant, my uncle and aunt had a lot of money, but Fubao and I were almost kicked out of the house. If Ama hadn't stayed We were almost starved to death in the deep house several times. Do you know what it’s like to be extremely hungry? Do you know what it’s like to be naked? In the winter when I was ten years old, I only wore a single coat to go to The kitchen begged for some food, but was taunted by several servants for a long time, and before the meal came, Fu Bao was so hungry that he cried loudly..."

He Shen looked at the bright moonlight falling on the cup, his eyes blurred and flickering, obviously still unable to let go, "At that time, I made a poisonous oath, I will definitely rise to the top in this life, and I will make my brothers live a prosperous life. In daily life, we have to repay our aunt who saved money from her monthly bill to help us..."

Fukang'an frowned, "No wonder I heard people criticize you before, saying that you treated your uncle and aunt poorly, but celebrated your concubine's birthday lavishly. This is why. You and Xizhai depend on each other for life, and Tangdi loves each other deeply, which can also explain why he I will look forward to your horse's head."

He laughed at himself, "No wonder he sang with my poems, but he was merciless when he impeached me."

He Shen was drunk and didn't want to talk to him, so he said to himself: "You and I met for the second time, you should remember it, right?"
