Chapter 73

Qi Mozhou is rarely free, came to Pan Chen's already cleaned up Xinroufu Palace, Pan Chen's dormitory location has not changed, but the place is much bigger, when Qi Mozhou went, Pan Chen was making sugar in the kitchen, heard that Qi Mozhou was coming, hurriedly put down the things in his hand, put the finished product into an agate crystal box, took out the kitchen, and looked in the yard, Li Shun secretly pointed to Pan Chen where he kept the land, and Pan Chen walked over.

Qi Mozhou's expression was solemn, standing in front of Pan Chen's self-reserved land that had expanded by two or three times the size, staring at a freshly unearthed bracken seedling, it seemed to be very focused, even Pan Chen walked over and he didn't notice it, or Li Shun reminded loudly:

"Your Majesty, Concubine De is here."

Qi Mozhou came back to his senses at this time, turned his head and glanced at Pan Chen who was smiling, with white teeth and starry eyes, Qi Mozhou exhaled, only to feel that Pan Chen's mood was much better when he saw it, and he couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, and asked sincerely:

"Whenever I come, I haven't seen you idle, aren't you tired?"

Pan Chen saw that his face was full of 'I have something on his mind', and he couldn't help but smile even brighter, and did not answer his question directly, but took his hand and walked under the grape trellis in the yard, because Qi Mozhou also liked the rocking chair under her grape trellis, so Pan Chen asked the Neting Division to make another one, and the two chairs were placed side by side, sharing a coffee table in the middle.

Qi Mozhou was pulled by Pan Chen to sit on the rocking chair, and naturally leaned into the back of the chair, Pan Chen handed the glass crystal box in his hand to Qi Mozhou:

"I just made mints, the emperor tastes them?"

Qi Mozhou's eyes fell on the glass crystal box, as if he remembered that this box was a tribute from Persia, and there were only a dozen of them in the harem, just this silly girl would use these things as daily things, the glass box was filled with pieces of square, amber sugar syrup, looking like clumps of honey, very sweet, Qi Mozhou didn't like to eat sweets very much, he didn't want to try it, but when he saw Pan Chen's simple eyes full of expectation, his heart moved slightly, and he reached out to take a piece for the first time, I put it in front of my eyes and looked at it again and again, and then put it in my mouth.

The taste is not as sweet as he imagined, and even has seven or eight points of freshness, and the aftertaste is full of mint in the throat, which is very different from the taste of sugar syrup that Qi Mozhou tasted in the past, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Pan Chen, only to see Pan Chen holding a sugar box, and also sat on another rocking chair, lying down comfortably, and then took out a piece and put it in his mouth, saying while eating:

"I used to like mints the most, but I haven't eaten them in years."

Pan Chen put the sugar on the tip of his tongue to taste it, but he didn't expect this sentence to make Qi Mozhou feel a little strange: "The first time I have eaten this kind of sugar, when have you ever eaten it before?" When you were at the Pan family? ”

Pan Chen's expression froze, and then he turned his head to Qi Mozhou and asked in a surprised tone, "Hasn't the emperor ever eaten this kind of candy?" Some of them are sold on the street, but the emperor is from the north, so he may not have eaten them. ”

Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen for a long time, and his eyes revealed a "I don't speak, Just quietly look at what you pretend to be', obviously don't believe what Pan Chen said, Pan Chen touched his nose in embarrassment, sent the box to Qi Mozhou again, and smiled flatteringly, Qi Mozhou glanced at her coldly, shook his head, and said that the mouth was not finished yet, Pan Chen's fart slapped on the horse's leg, but she knew that Qi Mozhou would not bother with her in these small things, seeing that Qi Mozhou's gaze was always empty, looking like his eyes were staring at the grape trellis, but in fact it was not, Pan Chen put the box away, turned around in the rocking chair, and asked in the face of Qi Mozhou:

"What is the emperor thinking?"

Qi Mozhou came back to his senses and glanced at Pan Chen: "I didn't think about anything, but it's you, have you decided on the candidates for the Roufu Palace?" How did I hear that the people you chose are strange? And those who can tell jokes, especially edible? ”

Pan Chen saw that Qi Mozhou had changed the topic, and he didn't ask, so he smiled: "They all have specialties, there are so many people in the world, it is impossible for everyone to be the same, there must always be specialties, if you just know how to serve tea and water, and the rules are like a mold carved out, how boring is it?" ”

Qi Mozhou saw what she said, hooked his lips and smiled: "You always have a bunch of truths, I don't want to argue with you about this, in a word, you have seen everything in the harem, starting next month, the vassal kings from all over the country will enter Beijing, there are many things in the previous dynasty, and the harem must be stable, don't make any moths." ”

Listening to Qi Mozhou say this, Pan Chen seems to understand a little bit of the reason why Qi Mozhou is not very happy these days, next month is Qi Mozhou's birthday, if it is just his birthday, but at this time, the feudal kings scattered all over the country have to return to Beijing to congratulate him on his birthday, Pan Chen guessed that those feudal kings should not be fuel-efficient lamps, so after Qi Zhengyang passed the throne to Qi Mozhou, he scattered his other sons to various places, in order to create a better environment for Qi Mozhou, and now, Qi Mozhou has been on the throne for two years, The vassal kings are also sitting firmly in various places, which can be regarded as an invisible pressure for Qimo Prefecture.

After all, according to what Pan Chen knows, Qi Mozhou has been a child raised by Qi Zhengyang personally since he was a child, and the environment in which other children grew up is not the same, and there is no relationship that grew up together, the relationship can be imagined, plus Qi Mozhou is such a suspicious person, it is naturally impossible to trust others too much.

Qi Mozhou waited for a while, but didn't hear Pan Chen's response, and when he glanced at it, he saw Pan Chen's two eyes staring at him darkly, Qi Mozhou subconsciously touched his chin, thinking that there was something on his face, and asked again:

"Did you hear me?"

Pan Chen turned his gaze and nodded: "I heard it, the emperor can rest assured." There are still two months, and when the people in my palace are arranged, I will start to rectify the harem and keep the emperor's birthday, and the harem will be calm. ”

After getting Pan Chen's assurance, Qi Mozhou turned his head, the melancholy on the side of his face made Pan Chen feel a little complicated, Pan Chen had the heart to say a few words to him, and explained:

"I've heard that the emperor has five brothers, right? What is the emperor's ranking? ”

After Pan Chen entered the palace, no one had been serious with her, and she knew about the prince of the Qi family, Qi Mozhou was silent for a moment, Pan Chen thought that Qi Mozhou would not answer her question, but Qi Mozhou spoke again.

"Second in line. One elder brother and three younger brothers. ”

Pan Chen wanted to ask Qi Mozhou, who was Qi Xuezhou who always came out to make soy sauce before, but looking at Qi Mozhou's gloomy face, Pan Chen still decided not to ask this, Qi Xuezhou may be the person who actually exists, maybe it is just the person Qi Mozhou himself imagined, for the kind of person with mental illness, when the spirit is severely damaged, it will be possible to split another personality, for example, a lonely person will split a personality that accompanies him; When you are bullied, you may split into a personality that protects you; When you are hungry, you may also split into a delicious personality......

Pan Chen once tried to ask what happened in Qi Mozhou, but Qi Mozhou was obviously very resistant, the patient did not cooperate, and Pan Chen could not make a judgment, so when she asked Qi Mozhou who 'Qi Xuezhou' was before, his reaction would be so big, he looked like he didn't want to mention it at all, and recently he deliberately overdrafted his mental power to suppress multiple personalities, while he asked Pan Chen to stabilize the harem, but Pan Chen didn't tell him that it might be Qi Mozhou himself who couldn't stabilize first.

"And how do you get along?" Pan Chen put his palm under his cheek, and his whole body turned to Qi Mozhou, observing him carefully, from his expression to his slight movements, everything entered her eyes.

Qi Mozhou, like just now, was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:

"The relationship is not like ordinary brothers, I didn't grow up with them, I and the first emperor grew up in the border barracks, they lived in Dadu until they were twelve years old, and they went to the barracks after the age of twelve."

Pan Chen immediately understood the subtext in Qi Mozhou's words in seconds, 'It's not like an ordinary brother', that means that the relationship is not good, originally, Qi Mozhou is brought up by Qi Zhengyang, and there is a gap with other brothers, and although the other brothers grew up in a comfortable environment, they rarely see Qi Zhengyang, and they must have opinions about Qi Mozhou, the person who snatched their father, and the two are not pleasing to the eye, how good can the relationship be.

Pan Chen suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and understood that some questions had been asked to the edge of Qi Mozhou's bottom line, if she was entangled, she might directly break through Qi Mozhou's bottom line and arouse his anger, Pan Chen always understood the truth that the meal should be eaten one bite at a time, no longer pressing, and temporarily kept a safe distance from Qi Mozhou.

obediently changed the topic and asked a more innocuous question to Qi Mozhou:

"Dadu? Is it Beijing? ”

Qi Mozhou looked at Pan Chen, and with some surprise she changed the topic, feeling a lot relieved, and nodded back:

"yes, you even know the nickname of Dadu. Have you seen it in any geographical book? ”

Pan Chen smiled and haha: "Yes, yes, the emperor has been in the military camp outside the Guan, hasn't he lived in Dadu?" ”

Qi Mozhou shook his head: "No, I will go back for two or three months in a year, have you seen the introduction of Dadu in the geographical chronicle?" I feel that although the climate there is cold, it is more suitable for living than Jiankang, where in winter, the house is burned with earth dragons, which is much more comfortable than Jiankang's humid climate. ”

Pan Chen can understand the meaning of Qi Mozhou's words, the weather in the north and the weather in the south, she can be regarded as a personal experience, she grew up in the south when she was a child, and later went to Beijing to go to university, only to experience the dry cold in the north, which is very different from the wet silk cold in the south, from the perspective of winter comfort, it is indeed better in the north.

"If the emperor is free, take me to Dadu to have a look."

The ghost sent the gods, Pan Chen actually said such a sentence to Qi Mozhou, as soon as the words fell, even she herself was frightened by herself, she didn't expect that she would make such a close request to Qi Mozhou.

Qi Mozhou turned his head to look at her, and seemed to notice Pan Chen's difference today, but he didn't say much, slightly hooked his lips, and smiled at Pan Chen:

"Okay, I have a chance to take you to see it."

It was such an ordinary sentence, but it made Pan Chen's cheeks red and his ears ringing for no reason. It felt like a senior chasing her in the university, blocking her at the school gate, just like the mood when she confessed, ashamed and ashamed, but I couldn't help but feel it in my heart...... Stealing?
