16 Sour plum soup

On August 15, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor sent Yuan Yi to follow Xiao Lu's dictation to read before quietly entering the Qingyi Courtyard with the festival reward. From then on, Yuan Yi studied in the palace every five days, and went to Zhuxin Pavilion to attend classes on the fifth day, and went back and forth on the same day.

Prior to this, the emperor also issued a series of clear decrees that shook the government and the opposition in Beijing.

First of all, the East Palace should be configured, the five rate mansions are equipped with 1,000 people, the Zhan Mansion is 10 people, and the three divisions are temporarily empty.

Secondly, let several top-ranked princes go out of the palace to open the palace, among which the eldest prince Yuan Zhongci 'Zhongshan King', the third prince Yuan En is 'Guang'en King', the fourth prince Yuan Xi is 'Xichuan King', and the sixth prince Yuan Si 'Guangsi King'. Several royal palaces are in Guanglufang, where the clans gather, located in Dongcheng, close to the Donghua Gate of the Imperial Palace, and separated from the Guogong Mansion by two streets and one lane.

Finally, among the several princes of the king, in addition to the eldest prince who has been married for many years, several other princes and the second princess and the third princess are also married at the same time.

For a time, the whole capital was boiling, and the shops such as the antique pen and ink embroidery village made a lot of money, and the teahouses, restaurants, restaurants, and restaurants were full of guests, and the posts of gifts and banquets between the various prefectures were also endless.

Yuyi, as an aunt, has several nephews and nieces who can't help but add makeup, and on some occasions she has to bring three girls from the second room to attend, so she is too busy to send her twin sons to the banquet to give gifts. Gu Yao is responsible for the safety of Gyeonggi, leaving early and returning late, and not seeing anyone every day. Even Gu Yi and Gu Yi, who are going to school, seem to have a lot of classmates who need 'after-school entertainment'.

There are only Xiao Lu who is suddenly obsessed with portrait painting and has no time for him to take care of him, and Gu Ci, who obediently reads and writes and thinks about what to eat every day.

***********************

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yuan Yi laid his burden and lived directly in Mandiwu, and the attendants and guards he brought also brushed the ground to occupy the dove's nest and occupied the various porches of the martial arts arena and the Lifang Garden.

At that time, Gu Ci had just finished feeding the master who did not eat on time, and was drinking tea on the rocking chair outside the Zhuxin Pavilion. This rocking chair was a good thing she asked Xie Qing to make for Master to cool off, and put it under the newly built grape trellis.

Seeing Bai Zhou beckoning under the corridor, and then Yuan Yi brought people in, as soon as she saw a flower in front of her, she was quietly carried by Ming Fang to the Hidden Cui Pavilion with a chair.

This will sit on Yuan Yi's lap, and see that Ming Fang and another guard manager of about twenty years old, Ming Du, commanded a group of small waiters to move things to Mandiwu, tables, chairs, cabinets, bedding, fine soft cups, plates, bottles, and even toilets.

Gu Ci was so surprised that he forgot to chew the horseshoe cake in his mouth.

Swallowing the pastry with difficulty, she asked in a daze, "What's the matter?" Do you need so much for a lunch here? ”

"Recently, there have been a lot of cars and horses in the city, and I don't say three or five hundred guards every time I travel, so in order not to disturb the people, I will live in your house during this time."

“…… You can wait until next year to come back, Master won't mind. ”

"Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, understand?"

“…… Do you know your mother? ”

"I saw my uncle at the palace banquet yesterday and mentioned it."

"You cut first and then play, does the emperor agree?"

"Why don't you ask your grandmother if she agrees?"

"Uh...... Grandmother doesn't agree with you coming out? ”

Yuan Yi smiled comfortably, "What's delicious today?" ”

"You haven't eaten yet?!"

It's going to be past noon. Gu Ci hurriedly called Ganquan and Ganyu, "Ganquan, you go to the kitchen and bring another set meal that Master ate, Ganyu, you go and talk to Mother Hu and Aunt Cai, and let the big kitchen prepare more cakes and skewers for the people from the palace, as well as warm sour plum soup, but don't serve it cold." ”

"It's a bit indecent, but it's interesting." Yuan Yi shook comfortably in the rocking chair.

"Yes. Zhuxin Pavilion has built a grape shelf, and it is comfortable to put it down to enjoy the coolness. Bai Zhou said that the master was tired of the heat these days, so he took a nap directly in the rocking chair. ”

"I hadn't dismounted this morning, and it was really hot. Fortunately, the wind on this island is cool. ”

Gu Ci wiped his sweaty forehead with a handkerchief, "Do you want to wash and change clothes?" Then he struggled to get off the ground, "Don't hug me, my mother said that I am like a small stove, baking quilts in winter and covering prickly heat in summer." ”

"Let's go, change my clothes."

“…… Don't go! Don't look at indecent acts! ”

"Your Highness allows you to see it." Yuan Yi carried her on her shoulders, walked directly into the freshly cleaned bedroom screen, sat her on a four-foot-high wardrobe, just enough to be eye level with him, and then gracefully began to untie her clothes.

Gu Ci simply collapsed, didn't he say that the ancients were very reserved and conservative, why did the dignified son play hooligan!? Even if she is a little bean with no sense of existence, she can't be teased like this!

However, the handsome guy doesn't seem to mind being eaten tofu by her, shouldn't he be happy......

“…… It's going to have a needle's eye! Gu Xiaodouding covered his face and wailed.

Yuan Yi laughed and said, "Where did you learn this?" ”

Gu Ci saw from his fingers that he had just taken off his dusty kudzu silk coat, and a simple and plain jade fine gauze robe was still in good condition.

There is something wrong with this person, he wears two layers on a hot day! It's equivalent to a denim windbreaker on the outside and a long-sleeved T-shirt on the inside. Gu Ci relaxed while scolding.

"Every time the elder brother of the Chi family brought the guards to perform a martial arts competition, the seventh brother wouldn't let me get close there, saying, 'Don't look at it', the little girl looked at the eye of the needle......"

"He's here to find Xiao Qi?"

"Yes. It seems that he came again yesterday, and Brother Qi accompanied him out to run a horse, and almost missed the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the evening. ”

"Well, I heard that your house has made home-made mooncakes, and I haven't had time to eat them yet."

"Yes, eat lunch before using. You weren't in the palace yesterday? "This will just happen to send lunch in, or all kinds of skewers, but after the chefs' active attempts, the variety and taste are much richer, meatballs with slurry sauce, blanched vegetable leaves tofu skin rolls, fried meatballs with diced vegetables and fruits, fried meat steak and fish steak, glutinous rice stuffing of various colors, varied, sweet, salty, sour and spicy, not inferior to modern barbecue food stalls.

"I'll leave the city after the palace banquet is over, and I'll come directly today."

Yuan Yi hugged her down, unceremoniously sat on the bed that had not yet been tidied up, and began to elegantly nibble on skewers one meatball at a time, and take a sip of warm sour plum soup. As soon as the food was eaten, a thin sweat immediately broke out on the head, and the dryness disappeared.

Gu Ci felt that his painting style had suddenly changed from a high-flying royal nobleman to a white-clothed knight who walked the world with a sword......

There is no sense of disobedience......

It's just that the robe of the real knight will not be embroidered with the same color silk thread on the sleeve collar and placket full of sea waves auspicious cloud patterns!

Seeing that he was still wearing a pair of calfskin soft boots on his feet, Gu Ci felt that he was a little dizzy today. Didn't you think that it would be inconvenient to change shoes and pants when you brought her in?

“…… After you finish eating, take a shower and sleep, and then eat mooncakes when you wake up. I'll call you hot water. ”

Yuan Yi stared at her with bright eyes and said with a smile, "Come and wash my hair?" ”

"Don't!" Gu Ci rushed out with a puff of anger, for fear that he would come over to carry people again, and behind him was a string of his presumptuous laughter.

Afterwards, Yuan Yi, who had eaten and washed, still didn't let go of Gu Ci, and directly escorted her to Gu Yi's house, where she was bound to take a nap together.

Hu's mother, Gan Tang and others, who had been following behind, could only silently retreat to the second line under the expressionless pressure of the Ming side of the gatekeeper.

Inside the house, the invincible Gu Ci was stripped to only his close-fitting pockets and trousers, staring at Yuan Yi, who was smiling brightly and swaggering, and buried his face in the pillow indignantly and did not move.

Well, I understand that the future prince is now young and frivolous...... But he's still a good bastard......

When Yuan Yi took off her coat and lay down, she saw the little girl lying motionless, thinking that she was still losing her temper, and happily thought about several plans for how to continue to tease her, approached and listened carefully......

Excuse: ZZZzzz......

Yuan Yi: "......"

Actually fell asleep in seconds?!

This talent is so envious!

In the middle of the night, he turned her over and lay her down, but saw that she was unconscious and still sleeping soundly.

kissed the little forehead, hesitated, or fell asleep with her in his arms.

***********************

For the first time, Yuan Yi felt that he was awakened by the heat, especially when he was holding a small stove in his arms. When he opened his eyes, he saw Gu Ci clinging to him, and he couldn't help laughing, knowing that she was using herself as a pillow.

However, the sleep was truly hearty like never before. He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't slept so peacefully, probably because the little guy next to him slept too soundly.

After pecking at her slightly pursed ruddy mouth, Yuan Yi got up and dressed, asked Qing Xiao Lu for signs of not going out yet, and asked Ming Fang to bring in the clothes that Gu Ci wanted to change, and planned to serve the county lord to change his clothes with his own hands.

A bunch of small and light light light green delicate clothes laid out made Yuan Yi a little confused, he could dress himself, but it was the first time to dress a girl. And since entering the middle of summer, Gu Ci will change out of her underwear every day when she takes a nap, and on top of it is her small pocket and small underwear.

Yuan Yi picked up the sleepy-eyed little girl, studied the small pocket on her body for a long time before taking it off, wiped her body and put on a new mint-colored belly pocket. Just as he was curiously tugging at his pants and continuing to study, Gu Ci could be considered sober.

"Ahh Gu Ci screamed, protecting his little pants, and kicked Yuan Yi's hand hard with his little fat foot.

Yuan Yi looked at the white fat little bean Ding who was covering his ass with a sad and angry face, and said with interest: "What's the matter?" ”

“…… Lecher!!!! ”

Yuan Yi pinched her little fat feet and smiled brighter: "Okay, I'll let your grandmother change it for you." Then he went out and called Hu's mother in, and waited in the outhouse.

After Gu Ci finished dressing and washing, he went out and stood silently under the porch alone, full of thoughts of 'The old lady has been looked down on!' ', 'There is no lower limit to the rich and handsome in ancient times' and other messy thoughts.

But Xiao Douding is so silent, it really doesn't make people sentimental, but feels a little funny.

After Mother Hu came out with Gu's resignation, her face showed disapproval, Yuan Yi raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, she said thoughtfully: "After all, the county lord is a little girl, and she is shy by nature, please don't blame Your Highness." ”

Yuan Yi laughed, thinking to himself, this will not be too funny, and it will not be fun if it is older. Then he picked up Gu Ci, who was dressed deeply, and sat on the soft sedan chair to go to Mandiwu while coaxing.

"Haven't woken up yet?"

“…… You're a disciple ......"

"Nonsense. Could it be that Mother Hu, who changed your clothes, is also a disciple? ”

...... "Are you obviously taking it off?" Mother Hu is a woman. ”

"Who says men can't change your clothes?"

"My mother said it!"

"Well, my aunt is right. You have to remember that no man will be allowed to do it except me in the future. ”

“…… You can't, either! ”

"I'm the exception."

"Why?!"

Yuan Yi was suddenly silent for a long time, rubbed her head, and said slowly and in a low voice: "Because I will protect your life by any means necessary, and I will not let you suffer and be injured again." Then he looked at her seriously, "You trust me?" ”

Gu Ci looked at Yuan Yi, whose painting style had changed abruptly, and didn't understand why the topic jumped from 'undressing' to 'saving his life', but he still nodded habitually.

The next moment she reacted, 'again' suffering and hurting? Does he know who the person who made her blind and dumb before?

The person in front of him is the future leader of the country, if you don't believe him, no one can believe him.

So she added firmly: "Believe! ”

Yuan Yi had a lot of emotions in her eyes that she couldn't understand, and her expression was obscure, but when she heard her answer so seriously, the clouds dissipated in an instant, revealing a particularly warm and soft smile. There was no continuation of this heavy topic.

Gu Ci didn't know how to describe it, there were no words that could aptly express the good-looking of this smile, but I felt that a lyric echoed in my heart repeatedly - no matter how beautiful the spring breeze is, it can't compare to your laughter.

***********************

The afternoon slipped away in the newly renovated Hidden Pavilion.

Yuan Yi finally ate the new 'moon cake' from Gu Cisu, the baked golden and thin puff pastry dough, the lotus seed potato flour filling inside was sweet and silky, wrapped in two salted egg yolks flowing with oil, and the taste was not ordinarily good.

Then the two of them will do their homework and practice big characters, and they will play teaching games.

Gu Yi, who was waiting for dinner to call Yuan Yi to the wind banquet, saw the obviously extra small desk and various colors of bedding in the Hidden Cui Pavilion, and glared angrily at the stinky man who robbed his sister.

I was actually fooled by a Zhengtai success for an afternoon! Silently swallowed a mouthful of old blood, and decided to give him spicy food for the next week!

Gu Yi was also very angry, just because during this time, several cousins suddenly liked to talk to him about schoolwork or play chess, and his father and brother also said that he should socialize more with people, so he ignored his sister. I wanted to wait for Yuan Yi to come and make arrangements, but I didn't expect people to be so resolute and resolute, and they completely abducted my little sister on the first day.

In the future, I will definitely come back on time every day for dinner and nap!

It's a pity that after the reception banquet that night, Gu Yi, who was 'caring for his sister', got a bad news, in order to prevent the classmates of the Guogong Mansion from coming to the Qingyi Yuan to 'ask for homework' in the future, he can follow his seventh brother to the palace tomorrow.
