In the small kitchen, Aunt He was embroidering a purse while waiting for the white fungus lotus seed soup that was being cooked, and it was even more surprising to see him two come in, she had been a cook in the villa for more than ten years, and she watched them grow up, and no matter how much they ate every day, it was difficult not to like this kind and steady little clever ghost. "Shengyun, you're back, okay outside? Tell Aunt He what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you! ”

"Aunt He, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm ......" Mu Shengyun also felt kind when he saw Aunt He, but before he finished speaking, he cut off the words on his back.

"Aunt He, my senior brother wants to eat the osmanthus cake you made for us last time!"

"I think you're a gluttonous cat who wants to eat too, right? Okay, I'll do it for you. Aunt He has always been quick to move, and she looked for the osmanthus that she saved last time while talking.

"Aunt He is not in a hurry, I always want to buy you something when I go to Jinling this time, it just so happens that Cuihuatang has a good Ejiao, which is the best way to nourish qi and replenish the body, I will send it to you later."

Aunt He naturally smiled when she heard this, and said again and again: "You have this heart, Aunt He is satisfied!" This kid of yours is better than Aunt He raising a son by herself! ”

Aunt He fell into the ice lake when she was young and injured her body, and she had no children in her life, although she never always said that she didn't care, but now that she is getting older, how can she not feel lonely.

"We were originally Aunt He's children, and it is not right to honor you, I will send it to you in a while."

"Okay, okay, you guys go back and rest, you can eat osmanthus cake in a while!"

Coming out of the small kitchen, Mu Shengyun carried his junior brother back to the room again, but on the way back, Mu Shengbai was silent and surprisingly quiet.

Mu Shengyun first carried him back to his room to take medicine, and put the person on the stool to do it, only to see the child's pouting mouth, his face was full of unhappiness, Mu Shengyun wondered: "What's the matter, isn't it good?" ”

"Senior brother just bought a gift for Aunt He, eccentric!" Mu Shengbai twisted his neck and sulked.

Mu Shengyun almost laughed out loud when he heard it, it turned out that this little ghost was "eating". still teasing him, "Aunt He is our elder and has always taken good care of us, I should still honor her." You are my junior brother, and when you are old, you will give me a pension and send me to the end of your life, and now you still want a gift from me? ”

"Humph! I...... I won't give you a pension to the end, my brother doesn't care for me anymore! Mu Shengbai was so angry that he froze, his little face like a bun was flushed, and he was about to cry when he looked at it.

"Hahaha!" Mu Shengyun flicked his head lightly with his backhand, "You kid, you usually forget all about your kindness?" As soon as I came back, I didn't have time to rest, so I went to the back mountain to look for you, and I carried you back. ”

Mu Shengbai didn't speak, only stared at him with dark eyes.

Mu Shengyun turned around and took out a delicate wooden box from his baggage, "Oh, open it and take a look!" ”

The child stretched out his hand to take it, and inside was a wood-carved thrush, the size of an adult's palm, lifelike, Mu Shengbai didn't know where his hand touched? The bird opened its mouth and made a sound, as graceful and crisp as the real thing. He was frightened, Mu Shengyun took it from his hand and put it on the table, and the little bird actually jumped forward, "Wow! This is good! This is good! The child clapped his hands happily and lay down at the table intently to watch.

"You can't say that Senior Brother doesn't hurt you now, right?" Mu Shengyun also sat down beside him.

"Senior brother has been the best for me! The best! ”

Jinling City, Qinghua Palace.

He Yu came back from outside in the snow, went to the door and took off his cloak and handed it to the little eunuch next to him, and asked, "Your Highness has already packed up?" ”

The little eunuch replied respectfully: "Back to my father-in-law, we can set off when we have half a cup of tea." ”

"Okay, I'll go in and have a look." The little eunuch opened the door for him, a door apart, the difference between cold and warm, the indoor warm breeze hit him, He Yu couldn't help but shiver, bent down and went in.

In the inner room, the silver dust is burning, and two or three chamberlains are serving a young man wearing a cumbersome and solemn prince's dress, which is the only prince of the Kun Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Jingyuan, Du Weizhen. He Yu took the purple gold crown handed over by the chamberlain and carefully put it on for it.

Seeing that everything was sorted out, He Yu asked, "Your Highness, it's snowing outside, so you might as well take it." ”

Du Weizhen originally recalled the article that Taifu said with his eyes closed, and asked to look out the window, his face was handsome, his lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyebrows were clear, and there was a child's unique glutinous tone in his tone, "It's still dark, the road is slippery in the snow, it's not safe to take the ride, let's walk." ”

He Yu hurriedly put a sable cloak on for him, and a group of people followed him to the Huining Palace.

When Du Weizhen arrived, Emperor Jingyuan was accompanying the queen to dine, the queen was pregnant with Liujia at this time, her body was slightly plumper than before, but she was still thin, and recently she was preparing for the New Year in the harem. There are many etiquettes for the palace banquet tonight, Du Jingxun was worried that she would not be able to hold on, so he asked the small kitchen to prepare some food to fill her stomach, and Du Jingxun added half a bowl of soup for her, "Huairan, come, drink another bowl." ”

Xue Huairan frowned slightly, and pressed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, she was really happy recently, and she really lost her appetite, "Your Majesty, the concubine really can't drink." ”

"If you don't drink, what will our little princess do?" Du Jingxun knew that she had been unwell recently, so he reached out to hold her somewhat cold hand and patiently persuaded her.

Xue Huairan chuckled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, how did you know that she was a princess this time?" ”

Du Jingxun said with a smile: "I say that I am a princess, and I look forward to having another little princess who is as understanding and gentle as our Ayan." ”

The two of them were talking some warm words here, when they suddenly heard a eunuch report outside the door, "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Queen, Your Royal Highness the King of Qi has arrived!" ”

The eunuch by the door lifted the thick curtain, and the young man wrapped in a thick sable cloak entered.

"The sons respectfully invite their fathers and mothers, and wish their fathers and mothers eternal happiness." Du Weizhen respectfully bowed to the emperor and queen. Listening to the crisp and crisp voice, Emperor Jingyuan and the empress couldn't help but laugh.

The queen herself got up and lifted him up, took him by the hand, and asked, "My son, why are these hands so cold?" Didn't you bring a hand stove either? ”

"Don't worry about the queen mother, Erchen has been practicing martial arts with General Qi, and his body is strong, and he doesn't feel cold."

Du Jingxun is a great admirer of men's martial arts, and he is naturally very pleased when he hears it, "This is like my child, Xiao Ming, let the small kitchen prepare osmanthus cake and hazelnut cake, Yi'er loves to eat these." ”

There is a Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet in the evening, the monarch and the courtiers congratulate together, although it is also very festive, but it is always to be restrained, it is rare to have such a moment of leisure, Emperor Jing Yuan and the empress jointly test Du Weizhen's homework, although he is not very old, but he is better than serious and hardworking, Taifu always praises him, this Emperor Jing Yuan knows, today asked him his views on several historical issues, he actually has his own unique opinions, although it is still a little shallow, but it is already very good, Emperor Jing Yuan nodded frequently: "Not bad, Yang Taifu is knowledgeable, you have to humbly ask for advice." ”

"Son, remember." He admired his father the most since he was a child, and even Mr. Taifu once said that his father was "Wen can lift the pen to calm the world, and Wu can go on the horse to determine the world, and he is a true gentleman." "Yang Taifu is the most knowledgeable person in his heart, He Yu also said that Taifu is a master of the world invited by his father to Tiantai Mountain in order to stabilize the dynasty, Yu Taihe in the second year, and the masters are so highly praised by his father, that father must be the most powerful person in the world. Such ideas have taken root in Du Weizhen's heart since he was a child, and he is unswerving.
