"It's bad." Huangfu Nanxi sighed lightly, and said quietly, "The Tai Hospital is helpless, saying that the Empress Dowager can last until the end of the year at most, and right now, it can only be counted as a day ......."

She didn't have a mother concubine since she was a child, and the first emperor couldn't take care of her, it was the Queen Mother who brought her up, and now the Queen Mother is also going to leave her, she is not only confused or confused, and she can't see where her future is.

Although the new emperor treats her well, he is the king of a country after all, and it is impossible to accompany her all the time like the empress dowager, she is lonely and helpless after all.

"The Empress Dowager treats the princess well, and now that the Empress Dowager is seriously ill, the princess should serve her with all her heart." Mu Yunting glanced at her lightly, picked up the reins and walked back slowly.

If it weren't for her insistence on killing the Canglang Society, Situ Kong would not have been forced to go to the Western Regions, and Shen Ke would not have ended up like this.

Therefore, Mu Yunting didn't care about everything about the Queen Mother.

"Thank you Lord Mu for your advice, I will definitely take care of the Empress Dowager with all my heart." Huangfu Nanxi followed step by step, the two were silent for a moment, Huangfu Nanxi turned his head to look at the tall and burly man beside him, and asked, "Lord Mu, Princess Lanxi just got married to General Li Chi last month, although General Li has great military achievements and high power, but Sister Lanxi is not happy, after all, the border pass is not as good as the capital, once you get married, I don't know when you will come back......"

Mu Yunting frowned and didn't squeak.

Li Chi was the Empress Dowager's old department, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoci married Princess Lanxi to him. Most of them just want to win people's hearts.

Seeing that Mu Yunting was silent, Huangfu Nanxi said pitifully: "Lord Mu, if it is, if the queen mother insists on marrying me to someone I don't like, what should I do?" ”

If only I could marry Mu Yunting.

She didn't dislike that he was already a biological child, and if she could, she would be willing to share a husband with another woman......

"Minister, I don't know." Mu Yunting said directly, "It's up to the princess herself." ”

"Mu Yunting, you. You are really ruthless......" Huangfu Nanxi saw that he didn't mean to comfort her. There was no pity at all, and she was disappointed in her heart, so angry that she raised her whip and threw it fiercely in mid-air. Leave Mu Yunting. Walk away alone.

Mu Yunting shook his head helplessly. Unhurriedly, I returned home.

It's really hard to raise only women and villains.

As soon as she returned home, Mu Yunting went to the inner garden non-stop, if she was still angry. He took her to Yipinju for dinner, and found a place where no one was there to apologize to her.

The two of them are so awkward, life is really boring.

Ah Hua was humming a song and tidying up the potted plants in the house, and when he saw Mu Yunting coming back, he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Shizi, the young lady went to the South Pear Garden, and the little young master was carried to Muying Hall by the lady, and they were not there. ”

"What is the young lady doing in the South Pear Garden?" Mu Yunting was a little displeased, he didn't want to stay at home, and ran out all day long!

"Someone from the pear orchard in the south of the country said that the Zhuangzi had been built, and the villagers had moved in, and they said that they would invite the young lady to participate in the hundred family banquet prepared by the villagers." A thrush smiled and said, "The young lady has a good fortune today, a hundred family banquets, a hundred family banquets, naturally every family has to make a dish to the banquet, the young lady has to eat hundreds of dishes today!" There are also people in the South Pear Garden who say that they have to work in the field during the day, so the hundred family banquet is set at night, and when the young lady leaves, she says that she will come back later, so that Taozhi and Bitao can help the nurse take care of the little master. ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Yunting's face sank and he strode out.

This woman is getting less and less in her eyes, doesn't she know that when her husband comes home from the next court, the wife should wait in the house?

It's better for her to leave her husband and children behind, and go to eat a hundred family banquets by herself.

At sunset, South Liyuan Village is noisy with gongs and drums, full of jubilation.

A long table was placed in the winding corridor of the lotus pond, everyone had excited smiles on their faces, and children with snot were running happily, sometimes hanging on the railing to watch the fish, sometimes going to the table to grab a handful of sunflower seeds and quietly put them in their pockets, their mothers did not care to teach them, and the women of Nanliyuan Village were holding flower turbans on their heads, and they were bringing their own food one after another, and putting it on the table where the floor was wiped clean and could reflect the human figure.

A gust of wind swept by, and the faint fragrance of lotus flowers suddenly filled the surroundings.

Above the cloister, a lantern hung every few steps, many like many eyes, blinking at this unusually jubilant night, and everyone was drunk before drinking, drunk with a vision of the future.

Shen Qingli spent most of the day to see the newly built South Liyuan Village and her own water tea garden inside and out, she was very satisfied with this village, it was built exactly according to her design, including the intricate set of drainage channels underground, although they didn't understand, but they unconditionally believed her, and they did it according to the drawings she drew at the time, in order to save money, they did many things themselves, the wood and stone were harvested by the men in the village themselves, counted, such a big village was built, I didn't even spend 10,000 taels of silver, and it was not as valuable as her face.

A plate full of delicacies was served, and the self-brewed sorghum wine was also heroically poured into the big thick bowl, all the people, regardless of men, women and children, sat down and toasted to drink, the happiest of course belonged to Wu Zhuangtou, he held the wine glass, walked to Shen Qingli excitedly, and said loudly: "Folks, our young owner is the best young owner in the world, not only let us move to this feng shui treasure land, but also specially built a tea house, so that we can have a good place to make money in addition to farming, from now on, Our hillside is all planted with tea trees, the young lady said, this tea garden is managed by individuals, each family first receives a hundred tea seedlings, when the tea is picked, it is divided into 369 and other places to the young lady to pay the tea money, the young lady does this, just to encourage everyone to plant the tea well, and be lazy, if you are lazy, you can't earn a penny, you can't earn money, and your daughter-in-law doesn't have to marry, and you are lonely at night! ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Shen Qingli also smiled.

She loved the village atmosphere so much.

True, flesh-and-blood alive. There is no abuse and deception in the courtyard of the deep house, just living a simple and pure life.

"Come, let's have our first glass of wine, and we will salute our young owner first." Wu Zhuangtou said, solemnly pushed a large bowl of wine in front of Shen Qingli, and said respectfully, "Young lady, please!" ”

"Young lady, please!" The crowd shouted along.

A loud voice almost toppled the place.

There were even more children, pinching their noses and repeating in a strange voice: "Young lady, please." ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

"Wu Zhuangtou. I don't drink. Shen Qingli also smiled. Looking at the big bowl of wine in front of him, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and hurriedly excused himself, "I'll just treat the wine with tea." ”

Oh, my God. The people here drink with nothing short of heroic. How can you drink such a big bowl as soon as you come up?

"Young lady, it's rare to be happy today, let's do it anyway!" Someone coaxed. "Young lady, it's done!"

"Young lady, it's done!" The crowd also cheered.

"Young lady, you take a sip, and the meaning is good." Wu Zhuangtou said with a smile, "It's all home-brewed sorghum wine, and it's very fragrant." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Shen Qingli had no choice but to pick up the big porcelain bowl and wanted to take a sip, but as soon as it came to her mouth, she was so angry by the strong aroma of wine that she was embarrassed, a big hand reached over and took the bowl in her hand: "I'll come!" ”

Shen Qingli turned her head and saw that it was Mu Yunting, and a burst of joy suddenly flashed in her eyes, with him, she was relaxed tonight, at least she didn't have to drink, and thinking of his roughness last night, she subconsciously tugged up on the collar, if it weren't for him, why would she wear a high-necked dress on such a hot day......

simply ignore him.

"Muslim!" Wu Zhuangtou saw Mu Yunting suddenly appear, and said in surprise, "Why do Mu people have time to come to our South Pear Garden, please sit down." ”

"Wu Zhuangtou, Neiko can't drink, I'll take her place." Mu Yunting didn't seem to notice Shen Qingli's coldness, and took the wine in his hand and drank it all.

"Okay, happy!" Everyone also drank it all.

"Mu Daren has a good amount of wine, another bowl." In the crowd, someone shouted.

Wu Zhuangtou hurriedly poured the wine full.

Mu Yunting did not refuse.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight bowls were served.

The men were all blushing with drink, and the stones were knotted.

Mu Yunting was no better, sitting beside Shen Qingli full of wine, chatting with Wu Zhuangtou hotly, and speaking a little incoherently: "I heard that this year is a bumper harvest year, it's really gratifying, isn't it that the crops in the field have not been harvested?" It's okay, I'll harvest the crops with you tomorrow, it's all a family, you're welcome. ”

"Master Mu is full of opportunities every day, and he is entangled in official business, how dare he bother Lord Mu to harvest the crops with us, dare not!" Wu Zhuang felt flattered and hurriedly said, "If you don't dislike it, the adults and the young lady will stay for one night, and the young lady's courtyard will be cleaned up in the morning." ”

"Thank you so much, then we might as well be respectful." Mu Yunting nodded, snorted wine and said, "It's okay to stay for one night." ”

Shen Qingli couldn't sit still anymore, he still wanted to stay here, and hurriedly whispered to Wu Zhuangtou: "Zhuangtou, my family may have drunk too much, we have to go back first, and come back another day." ”

"Young lady, stay for one night!" Wu Zhuangtou sincerely said, "A few days ago, the peach branch girl and the peach girl in the house were all arranged, and the young lady didn't bother to go up and take a look!" ”

"It's so late today, forget it!" Shen Qingli was worried about his son, so he naturally refused to stay, so he helped Mu Yunting and said in a low voice, "You're drunk, let's go!" ”

"I'm not drunk, let's stay here tonight!" As he spoke, Mu Yunting grabbed her hand, walked out of the corridor, and ran halfway up the mountain.

He knew that Shen Qingli had built a house in Nanliyuan Village, and as soon as he came, he came over for a walk.

"Shizi, let's go back!" After leaving the tea house, Shen Qingli hurriedly broke free of his hand, "I have to go back to see Brother Hao'er, you really want to live here!" ”

"Brother Hao has a nurse, a grandmother, and a peach and peach branches to serve, so I don't need you." Mu Yunting simply bent down and hugged her, "You don't have to say anything else, just stay here." ”

The yard is small and tastefully furnished.

Rockeries, fountains, pavilions, you name it.

Entering the house, the layout inside is the same as all the farmhouses in Nanli Village, it is simply divided into four wings, Mu Yunting carried her into the bedroom by himself, put her on the soft bed, and sure enough, everything was arranged.

"You wait here, I'll go boil water and bathe you." Mu Yunting said with a snort of wine, he really went to the yard to fetch water.

Shen Qingli had no choice but to let him stay here for one night.

After the two of them cleaned up, they went to bed to rest.

Mu Yunting was drunk, and he quickly fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Shen Qingli has always been in love with the bed, and he left the house suddenly, turning over and couldn't fall asleep, until dawn, he fell into a deep sleep, and woke up that Mu Yunting was no longer around.

In the kitchen, there was the sound of pots and pans colliding.

Shen Qingli couldn't help but go in and take a look.

I saw Mu Yunting cutting green onions in style, and when he saw her come in, he said quietly: "Come over and take a hand, the porridge will be fine for a while, there is a pheasant stewed in the pot, you add some firewood." ”

He, he's actually making breakfast.

Shen Qingli couldn't believe her eyes, looked at him in surprise, then pulled up the hem of her skirt and squatted down, carefully put the fine wood on the ground into the stove, and the flames burned vigorously, licking the bottom of the pot.

The two did not speak.

The smell of food soon filled the room.

Shen Qingli looked at Mu Yunting, who was standing in front of the pot scooping porridge, and suddenly felt that he was a little strange, it turned out that he had lost his identity as the first military general of Daliang, and he had lost all his aura, and he was also a man at home.

I really wish that time stopped in this moment, so that she could not remember everything that was unhappy in the past.

Peach branch and peach are really careful.

In the kitchen, except for the lack of ingredients, there are all kinds of utensils.

The meal was ready quickly.

The two sat down to eat, and Mu Yunting saw that Shen Qingli just lowered his head and drank porridge, silently, and quipped: "Your temperament is big, I forgot it, you still remember it in your heart." ”

"I forgot too." Shen Qingli frowned and said, "After eating, we should go back." ”

"Who said they wanted to go back!" Mu Yunting said quietly, "I promised Wu Zhuangtou that I would help them harvest the crops today." ”

"You're not going to the yamen today?" Shen Qingli was a little surprised, what happened to this person?

"No, my task today is to please you until you are no longer angry." Mu Yunting stared at her without blinking, and simply reached out to hug her, "You see, for the sake of me making porridge and catching pheasants for you early in the morning, I won't be angry anymore, okay?" ”

In the house, he couldn't say such a thing.

"As long as you don't doubt me, I won't be angry." People put down the steps, she had to go down the steps, Shen Qingli said lightly, breaking free from his embrace, "You have business to do, you can't delay, don't take care of me." ”

At the door, a fast horse stopped.

Gong Si hurriedly broke in: "Prince, the emperor urgently summons, let you enter the palace quickly!" (To be continued......)
