Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role

You don't need to worry about things in the palace, stay at home and handle the expansion of Xiaoxiu Village, help Manniang find a suitable husband's family, and urge Du Shiyou to study by the way, and she has a very leisurely life.

Because of her identity as the eldest princess, the reputation of Xiaoxiu Village has risen with the tide. Nowadays, no one knows that the person behind Xiaoxiu Village is the eldest princess, and the person behind the eldest princess is the queen, that is, the queen mother in the future. The reason is that the expansion rate of Xiaoxiu Village is more than ten times that of the past.

In the past, the small goal that was planned to be completed within five years, seeing that it would be quickly achieved by the end of the year, and Xiaoxiu Village was about to spread all over the country. Shi Yan had to formulate a five-year plan on this basis.

According to the incomplete statistics of insiders, according to the current development speed of Xiaoxiu Village, in five years, Princess Zhiyan will definitely become the richest person in the entire royal family.

Therefore, even if she closed the door in a low-key way to thank the guests, the concierge still had to fill the whole baskets with Chinese cabbage when she received the post of door-to-door visits every day, and it took two strong laborers to carry it back and forth several times.

For those posts, although Shi Yan never replied, and his attitude was very firm, he still couldn't stop the fiery heart of outsiders who came to make friends.

In particular, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the prospective emperor personally went to the Du family's door to thank Shiyan for saving the Queen's grace, and by the way, gave him countless treasures, personally called Shiyan his sister, and invited Shiyan to participate in his enthronement ceremony. Later, everyone understood that this was a woman who was valued by the two most powerful people in the dynasty.

From now on, even if Shiyan let a dog bite people at the door of his house, someone would be bitten while smiling at Shiyan, saying that the bite was good, the bite was wonderful, and by the way, the other side that didn't bite was generous. Fang put it out for a bite.

The Du family instantly became a newcomer in the capital, and Shi Yan and Du Shiyou naturally became the sweet pastry that everyone wanted to take a bite of. It is no exaggeration to say that the person who told the two of them that they were close, trampled on the Du family within a month. Yellow pear threshold.

In fact, before the crown prince, or the prospective emperor, ascended the throne, the swaggering up to the Du family was deliberately done. The purpose was very simple.

When Du Shiyou and Du Fu knew that the prince on Tuesday was His Majesty the emperor who was about to ascend the throne, the prince wished that he didn't bring an artist around to paint the scene, and when he was in a bad mood in the future, he would take it out and watch it, it would definitely be funny. People were laughing and happy.

The difference is that after Father Du was shocked, he saw that the Crown Prince really treated Shi Yan as his own sister. He was so close and affectionate as his own son treated his younger sister. He quickly figured out that his wife had been keeping a secret.

I heard that when the late emperor was alive, he was always harsh to the people in the harem. Could it be that Ayan was the child of the queen and others?

Although it is an interrogative sentence, but linking all the suspicious things together, Father Du is 100% sure of Shi Yan's identity. Looking at Shi Yan's eyes, in an instant, there was a bit of pity that he had never felt before.

From this point of view, there is no possibility of A Yan and the Queen's concubine recognizing them openly in this life, and once someone suspects the identities of the Queen and A Yan, they will be put in danger at the same time.

Father Du, with his hands behind his back, watched the scene not far from the crown prince hanging around his daughter to please his daughter. For the first time in his heart, he strongly prayed that the crown prince would grow up quickly and take power. Once the power in the emperor's hands was stable enough, he would not be afraid of rumors from the outside world. gossip.

Du Shi was different. He firmly believed that Shi Yan was his own sister from the beginning to the end, so he knew the truth, and after recovering from the huge shock, in the face of such partiality of the prince and the queen, he only felt that his sister was his own. As expected of someone who is beyond his reach, isn't it normal for such a good sister to be liked by the queen and the prince?

I have to say that in the eyes of some younger sisters, their younger sister is the best in the world, with eight hundred layers of filters, a fact that cannot be changed. Even if someone reminded him in his ear for twelve hours to wake him up a little, he would not be able to change his mind and open his eyes to see the world.

Shi Yan looked at Du Shiyou, except for his bad eyes on his sister, everything was normal. Although he knew that the identity of Young Master Tuesday was not what it used to be, but after the shock, what should he do? He was not polite at all.

Regarding this point, Shi Yan felt that the previous meal with Du Shi had not been a waste of effort, and it was finally a bit of a fight.

It also made the prince feel that Du Shiyou is a tough person. He has seen too many condescending and servile behaviors. Now that he is neither humble nor arrogant, compared with Du Shiyou, he is a little satisfied at first.

In particular, Du Shiyou also has a good eye to think that Sister A is the best, and no stinky man is worthy of A Sister, which is even more appreciated by the Crown Prince.

Shi Yan waved his heads, one left and one right next to him, with his hands: "I stopped Manniang from reading to me."

"Stumbling and stumbling, I haven't finished reading a page for a long time, what's so good about this?" The prince took the book from Manniang's hand in dissatisfaction, and said with a grievance: "Sister, tomorrow I will enthrone the throne, you must Come into the palace to watch the ceremony!"

The disgusted Man Niang didn't dare to say anything out of anger on her face, but she recited "men are naive" thirteen times in a row before she resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and admitted her mistake with a low brow. Said that he did not recognize the characters completely, which tainted His Royal Highness's ears.

Passing by a willow tree, the prince naturally stretched out his hand to stop the branches hanging from the top of his head, allowing Shiyan to pass by safely. Shiyan glanced at the attentive prince, and said leisurely: "Well."

The prince was instantly happy, and finally couldn't help but start showing off: "Sister, the embroidery you asked Yuchen to send me that day is really a rare treasure, more than all the embroidery collections in the palace, I like it, I will look back. Be sure to hold a banquet in the palace, and let everyone see your embroidery skills with their own eyes.

By the way, listening to Yuchen said, that pair of embroidery is called Feilongchengyun, which is really suitable for the occasion. Could it be that my sister specially prepared a gift for me to enthrone? "

This is natural.

The queen has a hundred birds and a phoenix, and even an irresponsible emperor also has a map of mountains and rivers. It is not too much to send the prince a pair of flying dragons and clouds.

The Crown Prince was even happier when he was acknowledged by Zhi Yan, so he waved his hand and promised, "Sister, I will have someone build the most gorgeous princess mansion for you in the capital. The Ministry of Engineering has already started construction. I want you to come this time next year. can live in."

The prince's tone was as calm as possible, but the expression on his face asking for praise was clear.

So Shi Yan let the prince get his wish and praised the other party several times.

Du Shiyou followed on the other side, and was shocked by the Prince's acting skills. This cycle was followed by a series of routines. It was like an old thousand-layer cake. All kinds of expressions, arbitrary emotions, and arbitrary switching. Ordinary people really do it. If he doesn't have this set of princes, at least he can't do it with Du Shiyou. He deserves to be a person who can be a prince and an emperor. He is not comparable to ordinary people like us.

Seeing the two secretly fighting with each other's eyes, she didn't know Yan Yan, and continued to let Manniang read the book to herself, but she was too lazy to answer. In fact, her thoughts were exactly the same as Manniang a quarter of an hour ago.

Men are childish.

Huh, what seems to be wrong?

Forget it, no matter what, at least it's very smooth to say so.

After the enthronement ceremony, although Shi Yan kept a low profile and did not associate with any dignitaries in the capital, the queen and the emperor still called her into the palace to speak from time to time, and the rewards were continuous. A sentence "This dish is sweet, my sister will definitely like it, let me send it to my sister."

There were too many dishes delivered, and the emperor himself summed up his experience from it: "The palace is too far from my sister's house, and the dishes will be cold by the time they arrive there, and they must not be delicious, so I will send them directly to the cook who made this dish. !"

As time passed, half of the cooks in the palace entered the Du family. If there was never a shortage of talents in the palace for the emperor to use, the cooks who cooked for the emperor would almost be cut off.

In the end, Shi Yan told the emperor directly when he entered the palace: "Don't send the cook anymore, my home is small and I can't live there anymore!"

This made the emperor stop such a move that made the entire capital jealous, and urged the Ministry of Industry to speed up the construction of the Princess Mansion.

If it wasn't for knowing that the two of them were nominally siblings, and their knowledge of Yan was on the clan genealogy, they were no different from the emperor's own sister.

Although everyone was unhappy and envied the emperor's special treatment of the eldest princess, compared with the empress dowager, what was the emperor's majesty's means?

The Empress Dowager bluntly said that she had only two children in her life, so she divided the private treasury into two, half the emperor and half the eldest princess. It seemed very fair, and countless people who were fair were jealous.

The part that was given to Shi Yan was directly moved to Du's house for half a month, and the move was delayed. Do you think this is the whole thing?

Do not!

After the empress dowager moved out the part for Princess Zhiyan, the part left to the emperor was still in her private treasury.

Then, every day, Shi Yan was continuously rewarded from the private library. Today is a pearl hairpin, tomorrow is a Chinese dress, and the reward has not been interrupted even for a day.

In response to this operation of the queen mother, the emperor did not say a word, and only silently asked people to add things to the queen mother's private treasury. The meaning is self-evident.

Everyone finally understood that Princess Zhiyan was the person who grew up on the apex of the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

What's more, after the queen mother inadvertently said that she liked the dark, healthy and blessed face of her daughter Zhiyan during a banquet event, the iconic black face of the long princess Zhiyan became a celebrity for a while. A symbol of good fortune, mothers-in-law who choose daughters-in-law do not choose buttocks, they like to have dark skin and look lucky.

What, you say blackface is not necessarily blessed? Then look at all the ladies in the capital with skin and snow, how many can be so favored by the queen mother and the emperor?

None of them! What else is there to say, act now!

For a while, the ladies in the boudoir who take white as their beauty and must wear umbrellas and powders when they go out, can hold a banquet under the sun with all their might, drying themselves out in the sun, peeling their lips, and feeling a little relieved when their skin changes color. .

Some people really find this complexion very beautiful, and some people really can't accept their skinny and dark self, but what can they do?

The former emperor liked the rhythm, and the number of folks who learned the rhythm increased exponentially, and the musician became the most sought after profession outside the scholar.

The former emperor pursued Buddhism in the second half of his life, temples were built in geometric multiples among the people, and the number and status of monks were significantly improved.

The emperors of the previous dynasties generally loved thin waists, and many women in the palace starved to death.

In the previous dynasty, the emperor liked the beauties who were slightly fat and felt, and the women of the whole dynasty regarded fat as beauty.

At present, this supreme ruler seems to like dark-skinned girls. Although the taste is a bit strange, the difficulty is really not high.

If you want to be good at the top, you must be good at the bottom. This is how it is. You may not really like it, but if you want to be close to the circle of the superior, and be favored by the superior, you must do what you like and not let the superior own reasoning.

For a time, there was a trend of beauty in the capital. When describing beauty, everyone tacitly avoided words such as fair skin, beautiful skin, skin like fat, and skin that is snowy, and praised people in a new way.

Having said that, there are very few people in the entire capital who have actually seen the eldest Princess Yan, and even fewer have had close contact with her.

For Princess Zhiyan, it can only be said that this is a woman who has always lived in the legend.

Since knowledge really doesn't give people a chance, it's too difficult to get close to her.

So some people saw that Yan's way could not go through, and they put their ideas on Du's father, and giving Du's father gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings were considered routine operations.

Sending a beautiful BMW, taking him to feel the prosperity of the capital, visiting the brothel at night, being favored by the oiran, and looking for a popular person to help him write poetry, sing and sing one-stop service, even if Father Du finds out that something is wrong in the middle, his talent name is still spread in the capital. .

Inexplicably, he won the title of one of the four great talents in the capital.

Father Du ranked third, and the first and second were the Imperial College of Sacrifice and the Bachelor of Hanlin Academy.

As for the fourth-ranked one, I am very embarrassed, but he was the crown prince of the dynasty, who was a master of poetry and painting. He taught two generations of emperors before and after. This year, he officially retired and returned to his hometown.

Father Du, an old scholar, was sandwiched between these three. For ordinary people, he might really be floating, but Father Du didn't. He just felt ashamed and panicked. For the first time, he clearly felt the power brought by power. Great benefit.

For this reason, Father Du stayed at home and did not go out. He never went out to play with his new friends. He fished at home, raised flowers, read books, taught his son by the way, and enjoyed the filial piety of his daughter. very.

This kind of grand occasion can be said to be one person who succeeded in raising a dog and a dog to the sky, and everyone carrying a sedan chair, giving those jealous people in the capital a feeling of not being born again as a boy and a girl.

There is also Du Shiyou, the only older brother of the princess who knew Yan, who only went to Guozijian to read the book for two days after she was canonized as the princess, and was angered by the entangled people, and went home and closed the door to study hard.

"Hey, before my brother became famous, he enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by thousands of people. Today, he slipped out through the back door, deliberately dressed in the clothes of a servant, and dressed as a disheveled man, just wanted to ask a few questions at the master's house. It was recognized on the way.

Along the way, I met six classmates who were shopping. Eight of them went out to play and accidentally lost their handkerchiefs and slashed their feet. I met a girl whose money bag was stolen by a gangster. Is this a famous trouble? "

Du Shiyou sneezed and poured out his troubles for the first time.

Shi Yan handed Du Shiyou a box of cool medicated oil to apply on his temples to relieve the symptoms of allergy to various rouge gouache.

In the past, Shi Yan and Du's mother didn't use rouge gouache very much, and they couldn't get in touch with any women outside. Du Shiyou really didn't know he had this problem. After taking a bath and soaking for two hours, I almost soaked myself into a salted fish. I sneezed until I was exhausted, and my allergy symptoms were still not getting better.

Shi Yan couldn't stand it any longer, so he made a cooling medicated oil to smear on Du Shiyou.

Annoyed, he said, "People are taking you as a sweet pastry, and it's just that people will stare at your actions at any time."

After wiping the cooling medicated oil, he finally stopped sneezing. Du Shiyou lay on the table weakly, his nose was red, his eyes were watery, and he sighed: "The Enke exam is about to be taken, if you pass the exam, you must Find a way to get a half-official position, go to a local place to practice for a few years, and stay away from the capital by the way."

Du Shiyou seemed to say it casually, but some words were clearly thought out: "Our family is already cooked with oil and flowers, but all of this depends on the favor of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, like a castle in the sky, too empty. .

It attracted the attention of others, if one day fell from the air, there would not even be a helper.

Even for you, for my parents, my brother has to make a career and become an irreplaceable person. If that day happens, even if you lose the favor of the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty, there will still be a brother who can take care of you for the rest of your life and let you live a carefree life. "

The family had long seen Shi Yan's idea of ​​not wanting to marry, but no one forced her, as long as she was happy, Du Shiyou even thought that he would get married and have two more children, so that the elder sister could choose what she liked.

Shi Yan thought that according to Du Shiyou's temperament, he would be able to salt fish for a lifetime, but if he could see the current situation clearly and work hard, it would be good, so he didn't say anything to stop him, and patted Du Shiyou on the shoulder: "Then I will wait and see."

So he personally went into battle and helped Du Shiyou summarize and summarize the test sites. The severity was comparable to the sum of all the gentlemen who Du Shi knew. It made Du Shiyou feel that life was worse than death, and it was life and death.

But no matter how painful it was, he never gave up. With Shi Yan's intensive training, Du Shiyou's answering skills improved several levels, making him feel like he had opened the door to a new world.

So after the trial in the palace, Du Shiyou's grades were beyond everyone's expectations, and the fourth place went to Chuanlu.

And there are rumors that Du Shiyou's articles can enter the top three fights in the top three, but because he knows the eldest princess Yan, His Majesty doesn't want people to think that Du Shiyou got all this because of nepotism, so he secretly sent Du Shiyou. Some of the rankings are slightly suppressed.

This is very intriguing.

The emperor's favor, sometimes high-profile, sometimes very low-key, only depends on where it is used, just like Zhi Yan, high-profile can show her favor, and can completely make the gossip in the capital disappear.

It's like Du Shiyou's handling is very low-key, which shows that the emperor really values ​​Du Shiyou very much and is willing to consider his reputation.

Jinshi parade in the streets, the spring breeze is proud, it is just when life enters another level, how can the Du family miss it?

Therefore, Shi Yan and Du's father and Du's mother set up a single room in the restaurant where the scholars must pass. The window was facing the street, and they could clearly see Du Shiyou's appearance.

The family agreed in advance, and according to Du Shiyou's request, Shi Yan prepared a basket of Du Shiyou's favorite big red peonies. , become the focus of the public.

To this end, Du Shiyou applied a thick layer of cooling medicated oil to his forehead and temples in advance to prevent allergies.

Shi Yan would like to say, peony, single mother, single mother and child, or a whole basket, what a terrible blessing this is.

But Du Shiyou said with plausibility: "My brother has the only chance in his life to want to be self-willed in front of everyone. The husband said that this is the youthful spirit of young people and the romance of scholars. Sister, do you really not understand? ?"

Shi Yan was a scholar himself, but he still couldn't understand it at all, but looking at Du Shi's aggrieved and expectant eyes, the family could only grit their teeth and agree.

So when Du Shiyou passed by the restaurant, Shi Yan threw a basket of big red peonies into his hands one by one, so that Du Shiyou was instantly surrounded by flowers from the imperial garden.

He quickly became the prettiest cub in the crowd, and once overshadowed the top three riding in front of him.

Du Shi contentedly held the peony bouquet in one hand, and waved to the window on the second floor with the other. He was extremely excited: "Amei, Amei! I'm here!"

Whoa!

The crowd was silent. There were not a few people in the capital who knew Du Shiyou. Isn't his sister the only one who has been known to be the eldest princess, Shiyan, who remains in the hearts of everyone in the capital?

Is she among the crowd today?

The Jinshi down the street is no longer fragrant, and everyone's eyes shifted from the Jinshi to Du Shiyou's eyes instantly. Even many people in the Jinshi team followed, and their expressions were not much calmer than those of the onlookers.

"Bang!" Father Du swiftly closed the second-floor window and said angrily, "Why is it so unreliable to know that this child does things?"

Unexpectedly, Shi Yan is not invisible, and there is nothing that can't be seen.

Shi Yan can understand Du's father's panic at that moment. Because of Du Shi's words, the whole street is like a zombie who has lost his mind. He listens to people's instructions, and his eyes move in one direction. And the target they are looking for is still themselves. This kind of pressure and panic will indeed make the scalp tingle.

Even Mother Du couldn't control it just now, her heart was still beating violently, and she almost shouted for help!

Shi Yan said calmly, "It's okay, it's nothing to be afraid of."

Only then did Father Du and Mother Du react, and it was really nothing to fear.

In a short period of time, it was enough for the outside world to know that Princess Shiyan was in that room. If she wanted to see the real person of Shiyan, she had already surrounded the restaurant openly or secretly, just waiting for Shiyan to show up.

The owner of the restaurant said that this restaurant has been handed down from the ancestors to the present for hundreds of years. There have never been as many guests as today, and they are generous and not demanding. He made a rough calculation in his heart and found that today's income is worth it. The sum of the last two years.

The boss's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said in his heart that the eldest princess is really his own noble person, the God of Wealth. When he turns back, he will change the statue of the God of Wealth enshrined to the appearance of the eldest princess, burn incense every day, and worship devoutly.

Shi Yan didn't hesitate, since Du Shiyou and the others had gone far, it would be boring to stay any longer, so he simply left with the Du family's parents.

So in the great anticipation of everyone, Shi Yan's face appeared in their sight without any cover.

The head is crooked, the collar is like a grub, and it is swaying like the snow in the wind. Not only is it beautiful, but it is also amazing. It also has a pair of eyes that make people feel familiar. Girl, wait, it is no longer the focus of everyone present!

Who the **** can say clearly, the natural dark skin that is said to be deeply loved by the empress dowager and the emperor?

The skin of the person in front of him is like condensed fat, which can be broken by blowing a bullet. very white! White is beautiful, white is moving, and white makes you want to slap yourself a few months ago!

Under the circumstance that tanners were popular and all the ladies in the audience were black cubs, the white luminous Princess Shi Yan instantly became the most beautiful cub in the crowd.

In the past, he was the only black, standing out from the crowd, and won the favor of His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.

Gan! This is definitely the conspiracy of the scheming girl, the long princess!
