[Chinese New Year's Extra-Birthday] eats my sugar, and it is my person
On the twenty-eighth day of the first month, although the New Year has passed, the palace is still full of joy and busy. Everyone knows that the emperor loves the prince the most, and his sixteenth birthday will be in five days, but he can't be sloppy.
Sixi's father-in-law called cautiously outside: "Prince, the emperor has an order, announce that you will go to the imperial study immediately." ”
Chu Yuan put down the book in his hand and saluted Tao Rende apologetically: "Lord Taifu, forgive me." ”
"The prince is serious, there are many things these days, and it doesn't hurt to take a few fewer classes." Tao Rende said, "Then let's stop here for today." ”
Chu Yuan nodded, and called the chamberlain to send Tao Rende out of the palace first, and then changed his clothes and went to the imperial study.
"It's a good thing." On the way, Sixi said, "It is said that the emperor is very happy, and the dragon face is happy." ”
"What can be liked by my father is not necessarily a good thing." Chu Yuan patted his stomach, "Forgot the princess of Huijiang last time?" I've been kneeling in the Zhengyang Hall for three whole days, and you don't know how to send me some cakes. ”
Sixi hurriedly waved his hand: "This time it won't be, this time it's the King of Dandong, there is no royal woman of the same age as the prince in Dandong, and it won't be possible to send it to him." ”
Chu Yuan shook his head with a smile and stepped into the small courtyard with his feet raised.
In the imperial study, when Chu Ji, the son of heaven, was flipping through the chapters, he saw Chu Yuan coming in, and beckoned, "Come over quickly." ”
"Son-in-law, see father." Chu Yuan saluted.
"At this hour, I think you're still doing your homework." Chu Ji said, "But your mother said that I have controlled you too strictly, and this is about to be your birthday, so you should be more relaxed and watch some fun and interesting things, instead of facing Tao Rende's annoying old face every day." ”
Chu Yuan said with a smile: "Lord Taifu has upset his father again?" ”
"He didn't make me happy." Chu Ji stepped down from the dragon chair, "I handed over a fold in the morning, and I gave a bunch of advice, but I don't know what to say, it's extremely noisy." ”
Chu Yuan helped him out together: "Then the father is going to go to the imperial garden to relax?" ”
"Go to the treasury." Chu Ji said, "Although there is no banquet for all parties this time, the surrounding countries have also sent a lot of rare objects to you to celebrate your birthday, pick and choose to see if you like it." ”
"Yes." Chu Yuan asked, "Have all the countries sent it?" ”
"My Yuan'er celebrates his birthday, who dares not to send it?" Chu Ji patted his hand, "Even several island countries in the South China Sea have sent candied fruits and pearls and gems early in the morning, saying that it is a good omen." They are not stupid, these carts of candied fruit may be exchanged for countless opportunities for trade with Dachu in the future, a profitable business, who doesn't want to do it? ”
Chu Yuan said: "Thank you for your teaching." ”
Chu Ji shook his head: "Even if I don't say this, you understand." It's right to be introverted, but it's okay to be arrogant occasionally, the prince of Da Chu can't be domineering. ”
Chu Yuan smiled: "Yes." ”
Since the gifts from various countries have been arriving one after another, they have not yet had time to return to the national treasury, and they are being counted in the house. Chu Yuan looked at the past everywhere, the rare objects were really not few, and there was even a delicate bow, which was a rumored artifact, which could shoot stars and pierce the moon.
"Is that all?" Chu Yuan asked.
"That's not enough?" Chu Ji laughed.
Chu Yuan said: "Northwest, Northeast, Southeast, South Ocean, one place is missing." ”
"That's right, if you don't say it, I haven't paid attention yet." Chu Ji said, "The gift from the Southwest Mansion has not yet arrived, this is not Duan Jing's style. ”
Chu Yuan said lightly: "Erchen just mentioned it casually, he sends medicinal herbs and brocade every year, and this year is the same, nothing is rare." ”
"But a few months ago, the Southwest Palace's palace handed over the fold to discuss the gift-giving, and said that it was personally escorted by the prince." Chu Ji frowned, "It shouldn't have been delayed for so long." ”
Chu Yuan's eyes lit up, but he quickly returned to normal.
"Perhaps, it's a delay on the way."
On the official road, a young man in white is riding a horse forward, his facial features are domineering and evil, and his shoulders are full of sunset afterglow. The black steed was as fast as lightning and thunder.
More than ten miles away, the convoy of the Southwest Mansion was chasing after him, almost running out of breath - it stands to reason that there are still a few days left on the birthday of the prince of Great Chu, take a step back and say, even if it is three or five days late, it doesn't matter, why be so desperate.
"Drive!" Duan Baiyue flicked the reins of her horse, her eyes full of smiles.
The groom hugged the tree and gasped, not chasing, not chasing, the son of the world is crazy and can't catch up.
One day, two days, three days, four days later.
Chu Yuan said: "Master Taifu." ”
"What's the matter with the prince?" Tao Rende put down the scroll in his hand.
Chu Yuan said: "I'm hungry." ”
"I'm hungry." Tao Rende looked outside, and suddenly patted his head, "Alas, it's dark this day, why don't you see Sixi to call." ”
"Sixi has been here." Chu Yuan said, "I just saw that Master Taifu was teaching, so I quietly retreated." ”
"This is the old minister's." Tao Rende said, "The prince should hurry up and eat." ”
"Thank you, Master Taifu." Chu Yuan stretched his waist and looked quite in a good mood. After eating a few mouthfuls of porridge and rice dishes, he went back to the dormitory, sent Sixi back, and went up early to read.
In the middle of the night, there was a soft knock in the window.
Chu Yuan didn't raise his head, and said lazily: "Catch the assassin." ”
Duan Baiyue looked at him and smiled.
"Three watches in the middle of the night, what are you doing?" Chu Yuan dropped the book and raised his hand.
"Birthday celebration for you." Duan Baiyue squatted beside the bed, "There aren't many people guarding outside, do you know that I will come today?" ”
Chu Yuan said: "I don't know. ”
Duan Baiyue defended: "I was delayed on the road for two days, and I came late, but it's not too late, isn't it?" ”
Chu Yuan asked, "It's not too late?" ”
Duan Baiyue said: "Tomorrow is your birthday." ”
Chu Yuan pointed to the sky: "It's already past the time of the child." ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
Chu Yuan asked, "Is it late?" ”
Duan Baiyue was interested: "It's late." ”
"Alright, stand down." Chu Yuan leaned back to the head of the bed, "This king is going to rest." ”
"Don't ask me why I'm delaying?" Duan Baiyue puffed out her cheeks.
"What do you have to do with me?" Chu Yuan covered his face with a book, "Four joys, four joys, four joys!" ”
"Sixi went to sleep, I specially watched it." Duan Baiyue sat on the edge of the bed, "Other gifts can be given to the treasury, but there are two that can't, you have to collect them yourself." ”
"What is it?" Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows, "You?" ”
Duan Baiyue said, "If you want me-"
"What do I want you to do?" Chu Yuan pouted and interrupted, "What about the gift?" ”
Duan Baiyue opened the baggage he was carrying, and there was a skeleton in it.
Chu Yuan: "......"
Duan Baiyue said: "Guess who." ”
Chu Yuan said: "If you can keep a skin, I can still guess." ”
"It's Gaode." Duan Baiyue said.
Chu Yuan frowned: "Chu Xiang's people? ”
"I always remember that he sent someone to assassinate you last time." Duan Baiyue said, "When I came to Wangcheng this time, I happened to learn that he was secretly sent to Suizhou by Chu Xiang, that is your place, what you are going to do is self-explanatory, so I simply slaughtered it with a knife." ”
Chu Yuan said: "Throw it away." ”
"There's one more thing." Duan Baiyue said, "Guess again?" ”
Chu Yuan said: "Chu Xiang's head." ”
"You want his life, I'll give it to you later." Duan Baiyue unfolded her palm, "For your birthday, you naturally want to be auspicious." ”
"Sugar?" Chu Yuan was puzzled.
"It's Wufu sugar in the southwest, fortunately, your birthday is not in the dog days, otherwise I am afraid that it will be early all the way." Duan Baiyue said, "In the southwest, everyone who is sixteen years old has to eat, and only after eating can they grow taller. ”
Chu Yuan had no interest in this.
"Eat one." Duan Baiyue coaxed, "Just one." ”
"Don't eat it." Chu Yuan said, "Poisonous." ”
Duan Baiyue ate one by herself: "Oh." ”
Chu Yuan said: "It's still poisonous." ”
Duan Baiyue asked, "How can I be willing to eat?" ”
Chu Yuan said: "Seeing that you are so relentless, it is not a good thing to think about, and you will not eat it if you die." ”
Duan Baiyue: "......"
"Stand down." Chu Yuan wrapped the quilt tightly, "Take away your congratulatory gift, this king has read it." ”
Duan Baiyue said: "I took this candy all the way with me. ”
Chu Yuan simply covered his head.
Then I won't eat it.
Duan Baiyue sighed: "Okay, okay, I'll go." ”
Chu Yuan said: "Bring the window." "Cold.
Duan Baiyue said: "Then tomorrow's banquet, I will sit in front." "Don't be like last time, arrange yourself to a partial position, the fat-headed and big-eared prince Hui Qi sat in the first place and talked with him very happily.
Chu Yuan laughed sullenly, and didn't uncover the quilt until he heard him leave.
On the evening of the second day, the Emperor of Chu feasted his ministers, and the prince of the Southwest Mansion was naturally invited, and he really sat in the first place, only three feet away from the prince.
Duan Baiyue was in a good mood.
Everyone toasted to each other, and they were very happy and harmonious. After three rounds of wine and five flavors, the singer and dancer performed to help the fun, and the waiter also withdrew the wine and food and replaced them with dim sum, and the first plate was Chu Yuan's favorite lotus cake on weekdays, light and elegant, a small square piece, and the taste was just right when it melted in the mouth.
Chu Yuan picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
After the cotton softens, there is a small hard sugar cube, sweet and sour.
Chu Yuan frowned and looked at Duan Baiyue.
The prince of the world supported his cheek with one hand and looked at the sky. There was some smile in his eyes, some innocent, some scoundrel.
Chu Yuan called Sixi and whispered a few words.
Sixi was embarrassed.
Chu Yuan said, "Go ahead." ”
Sixi couldn't cry or laugh, went out and brought a marigold back, put it in front of Duan Baiyue, and whispered: "Shizi, this is the crown prince...... Please. ”
"Yuan'er." When Emperor Chu saw it, he quipped, "Could it be that you still have a private collection of fine wine, and even your father doesn't know it, why do you just give it to the son." ”
"It's too strong, it's better for my father to drink less." Chu Yuan's face did not change, and he continued to eat dim sum calmly.
Duan Baiyue picked up the cup of aged vinegar, raised her head and drank it all, extremely calm: "What the prince said is very true, it is indeed a bit strong. ”
It's just a cup of vinegar, as long as you are willing to eat the sugar of the lord obediently, it doesn't hurt to drink another jar.
In Dali City, the business of the small stalls selling this sugar is also extremely prosperous, because there are many people who have married recently. If you want to get married, you can not prepare other things, these five blessings of sugar are indispensable, and the little two can only eat it like glue, sweet and sweet, and others can't separate it.
You will be able to go all the way to Baitou.
