8. Kumquat

On the way back to the palace, Yu Junyan has not been bothering with Su Yuheng, seeing him keep fiddling with the pot of kumquat in his hand, he is angry, King You'an's face can be regarded as being completely torn off and thrown to the ground by the stupid princess today, thinking about the whispers of the adults at the banquet, Yu Junyan glared at Su Yuheng fiercely again.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Yu Junyan got up and got out of the car, and walked to the mansion by himself without waiting for Su Yuheng, Su Yuheng saw that this time he didn't help himself, and he didn't care, so he happily jumped out of the carriage with the treasure kumquat given by the emperor and walked behind Yu Junyan.

When passing through the main hall, Yu Junyan was stopped by a warm voice, and when he looked back, it was his brother Yu Junqian and his princess Hua Yuxian.

Yu Junqian came over to help Yu Junyan pick off the fallen leaves that fell on his hair, and said, "Look at your unhappy face, what's the matter?" Angry in the palace? ”

Yu Junyan shook his head with a cold face and said, "It's okay." ”

At this time, Su Yuheng also walked over with kumquat in his arms, and when he saw the two people in front of Yu Junyan, he didn't say hello, but waited for him quietly now. However, after Yu Junqian saw Su Yuheng, he came over and said, "You are the son of the Su family?" ”

Yu Junyan saw that the eldest brother had spoken, and it would be too unruly not to introduce him, so he said to Su Yuheng: "These two are the eldest brother and the eldest sister-in-law." ”

The man before Su Yuheng met was only in his twenties, but he was calm and elegant in his gestures, quite a king's style, and the woman behind him was dressed in brocade and wearing a golden hairpin, but she did not look vulgar at all, just because that bright face was enough to be worthy of this luxurious body.

Su Yuheng had long heard that when Prince You was still the prince, he married an Oiran as the princess, and he also heard that the sedan chair that greeted the family blew and blew away most of the city, and took the princess out of the courtyard, and blew and blew away most of the city, and carried her into the Youwang Mansion from the main gate. Based on this alone, he dared to expect that this princess was definitely not an ordinary character, and when he saw her today, aside from her beauty, the indifference and calmness exuded from her body alone made Su Yuheng more sure of her previous guess.

Princess You, Hua Yuxian, walked over and smiled at Su Yuheng Yingying: "I have long heard that Brother Yuheng looks handsome, and I was looking forward to seeing him yesterday, but you entered the palace early this morning, and I didn't see it, I didn't expect to see it here, now it seems that the rumors are not necessarily true, and my brother's appearance can be described by the word handsome." ”

Su Yuheng's big black and white eyes blinked, looking at Hua Yuxian as if she didn't understand, and called out with a smile: "Sister......"

"It's sister-in-law." Yu Junyan corrected.

"Sister-in-law." Su Yuheng changed his words obediently, and then continued to lower his head and fiddle with the pot of kumquat in his hand.

Hua Yuxian looked at the kumquat in his hand and asked a little strangely: "What kind of flower is this, the leaves can be so green in the cold winter of Layue, it is really a rare treasure." ”

Yu Junyan pursed his lips and said, "This pot is a kumquat, rewarded by the emperor." ”

Although it is a reward, but Yu Junyan's tone is full of disdain, Yu Junqian knows that even in the Youwang Mansion is not absolutely safe, the emperor has already arranged a detailed work in secret, afraid that Yu Junyan will say more and provoke the fire, so he said: "You are going to the fiefdom early tomorrow morning, go back and clean up and rest early." ”

Yu Junyan said goodbye to Yu Junqian and Hua Yuxian, and took Su Yuheng back to his room. Sitting on the bed, holding a book in his hand at random, looking at Su Yuheng, who was busy watering and turning the soil, asked as if "It's just a pot of oranges, is there such a treasure?" ”

Su Yuheng turned his head and said with a serious face: "It's really a baby." ”

Yu Junyan smiled dumbly, thinking that a fool is a fool, and a pot of plants can be regarded as a treasure, but he suddenly remembered what Hua Yuxian said just now, in the cold winter of the lunar month, the leaves of ordinary plants should have fallen long ago, how can this pot of kumquat be so leafy? Could it be that it is really a rare breed? He thought again, although Su Yuheng had embarrassed himself in the Imperial Garden today, it was much better than falling on the stone floor in public, and that kind of dilemma, Su Yuheng's approach could even be said to be smart.

At this time, the door was gently slammed, and Peach walked in with a basket of meals and said, "Second Young Master, the eldest young master said that the banquet in the palace was afraid that you were not full, and sent someone to bring a few meals that you like to eat." ”

"Put it down." Yu Junyan said, glanced at Su Yuheng, who was still busy, and continued, "Don't be busy, do you want to come over and eat something." ”

"Good!" Su Yuheng got up and patted the soil on his clothes, and Peaches walked over to wipe Su Yuheng's hands, handed the chopsticks to him and withdrew.

Yu Junyan's eyes flashed, and he asked with a look of concern: "Didn't you eat well at the banquet just now?" ”

Su Yuheng nodded, pursed her lips and muttered, "The dishes are cold." ”

What he said is actually not an exaggeration at all, the world thinks that the royal banquet must be a delicious taste of the mountains and seas, in fact, it is not, the ingredients used in the palace are good, but the dishes are brought out by the imperial dining room, first served to the emperor, and then passed down one by one according to the rank of the title, everyone is waiting there, the emperor does not move the chopsticks, they can't eat, as soon as the emperor puts the chopsticks down, they must stop, plus the emperor's imperial invitation is mostly the drunkard's intention is not to drink, so a banquet down, are all watching the food in front of them become cold, plus it's a cold day now, I'm afraid I haven't eaten much food, and it's true that I poured a cool breeze into my stomach.

Yu Junyan picked up a chicken wing and put it in Su Yuheng's bowl, and said, "Taste it, love it or not." ”

Su Yuheng took a bite, grinned and nodded, "It's delicious!" ”

"Then try this balls again......"

"Hmm!"

Yu Junyan filled the cup in front of Su Yuheng with wine, and said with a smile: "Come, drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”

"What a fragrant wine!"

Su Yuheng unceremoniously feasted, and after a while, most of the dishes on the table had gone down, Yu Junyan smiled and filled him with the seventh glass of wine, and then glanced at the kumquat placed in the corner of the room, and came to Su Yuheng's side and asked, "You said that the kumquat is a treasure, then you tell me, where is its treasure?" ”

Su Yuheng nibbled on a piece of pork ribs, and smiled in his heart: "It turns out that such a great dedication is just to probe my bottom." ”

Su Yuheng chewed the meat and said vaguely: "It is evergreen all year round, the leaves can detoxify, and the fruits can be used in medicine." ”

"Oh?" Yu Junyan's eyes lit up, and he continued to ask, "You seem to know it very well, so do you know what it's called?" What diseases can be cured and what poisons can be cured? ”

Su Yuheng shook his head and said: "I can't remember, there are many paintings in my father's study, painting a lot of precious plants, I often go to see them, but I don't know many words, and I don't understand them all." ”

I see, Yu Junyan thought to himself, the usual medical books are all words and pictures, although Su Yuheng's head is not bright, but growing up in that environment, it is reasonable for him to know more medicinal materials than ordinary people, but this fool still has such a ability, which is also an unexpected gain for himself.

Su Yuheng still gulped down, for his response just now, he thought that he didn't show any horses' feet, he knew that this absurd marriage was not what Yu Junyan wanted, of course, it was not what he wanted, but there was no way, if now Yu Junyan was the horse that was about to cross the river in the eyes of the emperor, and he was just a soldier who was used to pin the horse's legs, they were all controlled by the chess player, and they couldn't help themselves, but this went to Yuzhou, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the so-called general will not be subject to the king's life outside, Su Yuheng doesn't really want to be a rich and noble princess, she just hopes that he can let himself be idle and live a personal life, and to get such a life, Su Yuheng must make himself not a useless fool in Yu Junyan's heart.
