Chapter 56: Reflections
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the bustling streets were unusually depressed, with no hawkers, teahouses, restaurants, and liquor stores, and every house was closed.
Even if you can occasionally see a few people on the street, it is still out to pay New Year's greetings, and when you meet pedestrians on the road, whether you know them or not, they will greet each other with a smile and say a few auspicious words.
The imperial court also took advantage of this auspicious day to take a holiday, and the officials were busy visiting relatives and friends, paving the official road for themselves in the coming year by paying New Year's greetings.
At this time, Su Muchun also dressed up early and entered the palace to greet the emperor and the queen.
After Murong Qing and Ji Changfeng paid their respects to Murong Hong, they went to the southern suburbs of the courtyard, where hundreds of children were looking forward to the big sister who brought them out of the dire straits, Murong Qing.
Since Murong Qing came back from the accident, she didn't have time to come over to visit these children, but no matter how busy she was today, she had to squeeze out a little time to come and visit these innocent children.
"Sister."
"Brother Changfeng, have a good New Year."
Looking at the children in front of them who were dressed in new clothes, their immature little faces were filled with joy and happy smiles, and Murong Qing's psychology was also filled with a hint of warmth.
"Sister, Happy New Year, Brother Changfeng."
The children saluted Murong Qing and Ji Changfeng in a proper manner and saluted the New Year.
"Okay, you guys have a good New Year."
Murong Qing caressed Jiu'er's little head lovingly and asked, "Have you eaten dumplings for the New Year?" ”
"Eat!"
The children responded with a smile and hugged Murong Qing and the others into the house.
"You have all given me New Year's greetings, and I have prepared gifts for you, one per person is not to be picky!"
After Murong Qing sat down, Ji Changfeng put the burden in his hand on the table, and when he opened the bag, there were hundreds of small purses.
"No!"
The children didn't need to be reminded, they lined up in an orderly manner, did not fight or grab, stepped forward one by one to take the purse from Murong Qing's hand, and after saluting and thanking him, he walked to the side, and then opened it to see what was inside.
"Wow...... This...... It's gold! ”
"Mine is a little goldfish, it's really beautiful!"
"What's yours?"
"Tiger."
"Hmm...... No, I heard my brother say that this is called Pixiu, which seems to mean to attract wealth and treasure. ”
"Quick! Take a look at what yours is? ”
"Mine is the moon."
"The moon?"
"yes, I don't believe it."
"It's really the moon!"
"Mi'er, what's yours?"
"It's Daisy, my favorite."
"Wow...... It's so beautiful! ”
Murong Qing looked at the children gathered together and discussing their respective gifts, although they were curious, they didn't have any comparison, which not only made her nod with great relief.
"It's good to be satisfied, so that you don't live up to Qing'er's hard work."
When the children were discussing hotly, a magnetic man's voice came from outside, and Murong Qing was slightly stunned when he saw the comer.
And the children did respectfully salute the visitors, "His Royal Highness King Chun, Chitose, Chitose, Chitose." ”
Murong Qing was very puzzled when she saw this, when did these children become so familiar with Su Muchun.
"Get up!"
"No!"
Su Muchun's face was soft, and she looked at these children with a smile on the corner of her mouth and asked, "How did you say hello to Qing'er just now?" ”
The children were slightly stunned when they heard this, and then said in unison, "His Royal Highness King Chun has a good New Year." ”
Su Muchun nodded with satisfaction, and the children surrounded him in the middle, pushed him to Murong Qing's side and sat down, and began to chatter.
"His Royal Highness King Chun, I heard that you demolished the mansion of the official?"
“……”
"His Royal Highness King Chun, what does it feel like to demolish the official's mansion?"
“……”
"His Royal Highness King Chun, isn't it exciting and cool when you demolish the mansion?"
“……”
"His Royal Highness King Chun, are those officials angry or crying?"
“……”
Just when the children were asking curiously, a boy said weakly, "I really want to know what it's like to demolish the Prince's Mansion!" ”
When the other children heard this, they fell silent, and they all looked at the boy with different eyes.
The boy pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and said calmly, "It all depends on what I do, don't you know like you know?" ”
When the children heard what he said, they immediately turned their heads to look at Su Muchun with admiration and expectation in their eyes.
Su Muchun was speechless, this is really a child taught by his family Qing'er, and he is not afraid of things bigger than himself.
Murong Qing glared at the boy angrily, "Xiaofei, you think the prince's mansion is a private house, and if you say that it will be demolished, it will be demolished." ”
Xiao Fei scratched his little head and smiled shyly, "I just asked casually." ”
Ji Changfeng stepped forward with a smile and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to play." ”
"Good!"
The children jumped and followed Ji Changfeng, and the noisy house instantly became quiet.
Murong Qing's beautiful eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she said with a smile, "His Royal Highness King Chun, tell me how you feel after demolishing other people's houses!" ”
Su Muchun grinded his teeth when he heard this, and said with a wicked smile, "That'...... Do you want to go to the general's mansion again every day, and the concubine will come to see the aftermath? ”
When Murong Qing heard this, she immediately exploded, and her beautiful eyes glared at Su Muchun and said warningly, "Chunchun, you dare to demolish my house and try it!" ”
Su Muchun heard the word 'Chunchun', and his whole person was not good, and he said helplessly, "Can we not call this name in the future?" ”
"Nope."
Murong Qing decisively refused, and then her beautiful eyes turned, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she said softly, "If you are obedient in the future, I can consider it." ”
A wicked smile appeared at the corner of Su Muchun's mouth, and he slowly approached Murong Qing with that bewitching face, raised his big hand and reached out to Murong Qing's thin waist and began to squeak.
"Haha......"
"Su ...... Su Muchun, haha......"
Murong Qing smiled and trembled, smiling coquettishly.
"Hee-hee-hee-hee-hee......"
Outside the house, listening to a few bear children in the corner of the wall saw the scene inside through the crack in the door, their little eyes narrowed into a slit, and they covered their mouths with their little hands and snickered in a low voice.
"What for?"
When the bear child heard this voice, his face changed, and he looked back at the person mechanically, and smiled "long...... Brother Changfeng. ”
"Let's play!"
"Hey! Okay! ”
A few bear children reluctantly glanced at the door, and then ran away.
Ji Changfeng watched them run away, raised his hand and touched his chin, hesitated for a while and didn't control the curiosity in his heart, and looked inside through the crack in the door like the bear children just now.
Inside the house, Murong Qing counterattacked, holding Su Muchun firmly, and he sat on him with his hands in unison.
"Haha...... Qing'er, Qing'er, haha...... Stop, haha...... Stop. ”
"It's itchy, haha...... It's so itchy, hahaha......"
The two of them were making trouble, and the atmosphere became ambiguous, Su Muchun stopped his hand, stared at Murong Qing and said with a wicked smile, "Concubine Ai, you took the initiative first." ”
Murong Qing's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and she just got up from Su Muchun's body and sat down, but her beautiful eyes were looking left and right and didn't dare to look at him again.
Ji Changfeng, who was outside the door, saw that the atmosphere inside was heating up, smiled "hehe", and quietly retreated.
Su Muchun stared at the shy Murong Qing, with a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, and helped her tidy up her somewhat messy clothes.
Murong Qing's face turned even redder, just as the ripe red apple exuded an alluring aura, which made people salivate.
"Gollum!"
Su Muchun's throat slid uncontrollably, staring at Murong Qing's pretty face and slowly approaching.
A faint sandalwood, a warm snort, and a big knuckle hand gently picked up Murong Qing's jaw, and the four eyes met each other, full of tenderness.
The heartbeats of both of them increased a little at the same time, and their breathing became a little short, and as Su Muchun approached, Murong Qing closed his eyes slightly, and his curved eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Su Muchun."
Murong Qing put her hands on Su Muchun's chest, clutching his placket tightly, and tilted her head slightly in resistance.
"Just a moment."
Su Muchun's warm snort sprayed on Murong Qing's pretty face, making the flush on her face instantly turn red to her neck.
His eyes, like cold autumn water, stared at Murong Qing's trembling eyelashes, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and he tentatively pecked at Murong Qing's soft and slightly cool lips.
Murong Qing's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and her curved eyelashes quickly fanned a few times, and there was a little expectation in her heart, looking forward to touching her warm and slightly sweet lips once.
The corners of Su Muchun's mouth moved, and the spoiling and smug smile disappeared in a flash, and he continued to touch Murong Qing's soft and slightly cool lips.
From temptation to light kiss to deep kiss, Murong Qing's heart went from apprehensive and uneasy to gradually letting go of her inner defense, and when her lips left, the two of them were panting.
Murong Qing seemed to have experienced a big battle, leaning weakly on Su Muchun's body, and her heart was numb.
Su Muchun could feel Murong Qing's inner struggle just now, and the hand holding Murong Qing tightened again.
Outside the door, Ji Changfeng hesitated and wandered outside the door, raising his hand several times to knock on the door, but he was afraid of destroying the good of the two people in the house, so when he was entangled in whether to knock on the door, the door was opened from the inside.
"Squeak!"
As soon as Murong Qing and Su Muchun opened the door, they saw that Ji Changfeng had a tangled face, and raised his hand to knock or not.
Murong Qing asked suspiciously, "Changfeng, what's wrong?" ”
Ji Changfeng glanced at Su Muchun, handed Murong Qing a small note, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, Murong Qing nodded, "Well, I know." ”
Su Muchun avoided Ji Changfeng's behavior for some things, but he didn't care, if Murong Qing wanted to say something, he would naturally tell him.
After Ji Changfeng left, Murong Qing didn't have to go back to Su Muchun, and directly opened the note.
Su Muchun saw that the words on the note were full of black lines, because he didn't know any of the words written on it, no wonder Murong Qing didn't have to avoid him!
After reading the letter, Murong Qing put it in his sleeve and walked thoughtfully in the courtyard.
Su Muchun followed behind and pondered for a long time before asking tentatively, "Qing'er, did you encounter something?" ”
Murong Qing continued to pace back and forth in the courtyard as if she hadn't heard it, as if Su Muchun had been evaporated, this was the first time Su Muchun had seen such a Murong Qing.
Time passed slowly, and Su Muchun stood quietly aside, accompanying Murong Qing, who had been pondering and pacing back and forth.
Seeing that the red sun was setting in the west, and it was almost time for dinner, Su Muchun called softly again, "Qing'er? ”
"Huh?"
Murong Qing woke up as if in a dream, and looked at Su Muchun suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
Su Muchun stared at her for a long time before asking, "Qing'er, if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me." ”
Murong Qing smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Then she looked at the sky and said, "It's all this time, Su Muchun, you haven't used it here, why don't you eat here for dinner." ”
Su Muchun's sword eyebrows frowned slightly, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and then he said with a smile, "Okay!" But first, I didn't have any money for food. ”
Murong Qing chuckled, "This time I invited you." ”
Su Muchun pretended to be unhappy and said, "As a big financier, is it a little stingy to invite me to eat here?" ”
Murong Qing pulled him with a smile, and walked towards the dining hall where the children ate, and said seductively, "The food here is much better than the one in the restaurant." ”
Su Muchun pretended to be different and said, "Really? Then I'll see if it's like you said.
The two of them entered the dining hall as they spoke, and because she had arrived too early, the children had not yet arrived, but the hot meal had already come out of the pot.
Su Muchun couldn't help but drool when he looked at the meat and vegetable matching, the food was full of color and flavor.
Murong Qing said proudly, "What's the matter, I didn't lie to you!" ”
Su Muchun smiled and said, "It seems that I'm going to eat tonight." ”
The eldest sister who was cooking greeted Murong Qing and the others warmly, "Miss, His Royal Highness King Chun, I'll cook you what you want to eat." ”
Murong Qing smiled sweetly and said, "No need, Sister Qiu, let's just eat these." ”
There is no meanness here, but mutual respect, this is Murong Qing's rule, at first all the people here were not used to it, but as they got along for a long time, they slowly gained a little more pride.
