32. Boredom
In fact, Lan Mozhi was not so reluctant to stay in the Nanshu Forbidden Palace to protect Xiao Hanyu. It's just that when he received such an imperial order at first glance, he was busy "getting promoted and making a fortune", and he had to put aside the business at hand.
However, when he calmed down and thought about it, when he left the Imperial City of Shu, he was still a little reluctant to look at the little sister he had grown up watching. Now, to be able to protect her for a while, and to see her settle down in this foreign land, is not all a bad thing-especially when he stayed in the palace of Nanshu for two days, and found that what the girl did every day was "idle", and the feeling of not being a taste in his heart completely overshadowed the anger and depression caused by the overgrowth.
Could it be that in the three years in Dongzan Palace, she was also so bored and wasted her time?
The man suddenly remembered that in the early years, a large group of their children still lived in the dilapidated compound, and although the life was hard, it was full and interesting. At that time, she would never be like now, holding her head, chewing jerky, looking at the blue sky, and being expressionless in a daze.
He seemed to understand why she was racking her brains to escape from this place.
When his eyebrows moved slightly, the little girl in his eyes turned her head coldly and met his calm gaze.
Xiao Hanyu stood up, walked in front of him with the hem of her skirt, and handed the dried meat in her hand to his mouth.
"It's delicious, would you like a piece?"
Lan Mozhi shook his head.
"Is this how the princess spends her days?" Then, after hesitating for a moment, he finally opened his mouth to ask her.
"So so?" The girl repeated his words in confusion, and then suddenly realized in her chest, "Yes, how else can I live?" As she spoke, she smiled as if she remembered something, "Actually, it's okay, Xiao Xiangxiang often comes to play with me, and it's not too boring." ”
"Little ...... Xiangxiang? ”
"Oh, it's the niece of Emperor Nanshu, the lord of Xiangxiang, five years old this year, very cute, I guess she will come to me today, you must like her too."
“……”
"Master, the slave interjects, the ...... It's the lord of Xiangming, not the lord of Xiangxiang. At this time, Scarlet Xue on the side snorted weakly, which immediately embarrassed Xiao Hanyu.
"Ahh......h I'm used to being called 'Xiangxiang' and 'Xiangxiang'......"
Lan Mozhi was speechless, and Scarlet Xue also twitched the corners of her mouth silently.
After a while, the former took the lead in recovering as usual and asked, "Does that Xiangming County Lord often enter the palace?" ”
"No, she lives in the palace."
The man was slightly stunned when he heard this.
"That's the case, her father and mother passed away early, and now the saint doesn't worry about her, so he takes her into the palace to raise her."
It seems that the new emperor of Nanshu is quite fraternal.
"However, Xiao Xiangxiang always treats me as her mother, and this matter makes me very distressed."
"......" Lan Mozhi was pondering the character of Li Wuzhi, and was dragged out by the girl's cold words, "Do you look similar to her mother?" ”
"No! I heard her maid say that I had a little similar eyes to the late Princess Lian, and the smell of the incense powder used on my body was similar, but I had switched to other incense powder for a while, and the child still liked to treat me as her mother. Alas...... It's really sad. ”
The girl said abruptly, and a little bright sadness appeared between her eyebrows. This made Lan Mo realize that she was probably really bored.
The two of them were talking like this, and one of them suddenly had a light in his eyes. Lan Mozhi noticed that someone was approaching, but he didn't expect it to be a little doll carved in pink.
Could it be that she is...... Lord of Xiangming?
The man who guessed so soon heard a childish call: "Sister-"
Isn't this the shouting "sister"?
The suspicious man saw the girl next to him and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Xiangxiang, my sister is thinking of you, you are here, it's so sweet!" ”
Really.
Seeing the girl happily picking up the beautiful little girl, Lan Mozhi thought to herself that the sorrow she had just expressed was really a lie.
"Is Xiangxiang well-behaved today?"
"Good."
"Our family Xiangxiang is the most sensible."
Xiao Hanyu happily kissed the little guy on the face, and then got a fragrant kiss from her without hesitation.
Lan Mozhi felt that he seemed to see the little girl who was laughing and playing with the children three years ago.
In a trance, one big and one small had already walked to his neighborhood.
"Sister, who is that big brother?" The county lord of Xiangming keenly noticed a face that he had never seen before, so he whispered to the girl holding her.
"Oh, this is a friend of my sister and my sister's bodyguard, you can call him 'Brother Mo Zhi'."
"Ink? Is it the ink used by Xiangxiang to learn to write? ”
"Poof...... It's that 'ink'. ”
Lan Mozhi listened to the little guy's fairy tale and the girl's deliberate reply, and his handsome face darkened unconsciously. Especially when he noticed that the five-year-old girl was looking at him with curious and puzzled eyes, as if wondering why he had come up with such a strange name, his face was a little tight.
Fortunately, Xiao Hanyu noticed the change in his expression in time, and changed his words in moderation: "My sister is joking with you, not the 'ink' used for writing." ”
The little guy immediately nodded with a "I see" expression.
"So, you better call him 'Brother Lan', so as not to make him unhappy."
"Is it 'brother', not 'uncle'?"
"It's okay to call him 'uncle', anyway, he's three or four years younger than your imperial uncle."
"Oh......"
Listening to the big and the small continue to talk about him, and always unconsciously ridicule between the words, Lan Mozhi doesn't know what expression to put on. He actually wants to sue these two, whether he calls "brother" or "uncle", he can't afford it, okay?
After looking at the two of them silently for a while, Lan Mozhimu looked away with a wooden face. Xiao Hanyu raised her eyes and saw that he deliberately avoided it, knowing that his "boring" temperament must not like others to make fun of him like this, so she immediately closed her mouth sensitively and sat aside to eat snacks with Xiao Xiangming in her arms.
The little one swallowed a bite of the cake and, without warning, began to expose her imperial uncle's shortcomings.
"Sister, do you know? Uncle Huang doesn't like to eat vegetables. ”
"Huh? Is it? ”
"Uh-huh." The little guy nodded solemnly, and a pair of big eyes looked at Xiao Hanyu without blinking, "However, in order to set a good example for Xiangxiang, Uncle Huang will barely eat a little every time he accompanies Xiangxiang to eat." ”
No wonder she didn't realize that he didn't like vegetarian food, although she saw that Li Wujian ate big fish and meat every time.
Thinking like this, Xiao Hanyu said with a smile: "Then we Xiangxiang don't learn from your imperial uncle to be picky eaters." ”
The little guy said yes seriously, but the maids on the side were so embarrassed that they couldn't even settle the corners of their mouths.
Niangniang, you say this about your emperor, does the emperor know......
