Chapter 26: The Night Feast

In the early night, the crescent moon with a bend with a golden ring finally rose, there was a short period of tranquility and peace in Ciqing Palace, the palace lamp had not yet been lit, there was no one in the corridor except Zhu Youxiao and Ren Hongfei, only the shadow of the tree in the flower bed outside the corridor could be seen, the breeze blew, the leaves swayed, and the shadows on the ground also changed with various postures, and faint lights could be seen in the distance, appearing and disappearing.

Ren Hongfei looked at Zhu Youxiao, who turned back three times in one step, and laughed softly: "Let's go, I will definitely think of inviting Aunt Ke over in a few days to see your reluctant virtue." ”

Zhu Youxiao's face flushed slightly, and he said silently: "Old Five, thank you." ”

Ren Hongfei's heart ached, and he patted Zhu Youxiao's shoulder: "Cheer up, just turn a corner ahead." ”

The two calmed down at the same time, and turned the corridor, the two guards with knives at the door of Li Xuanzhi had already pushed open the door for them, and Zhu Changluo, Li Xuanzhi, Zhu Youmo and Zhu Huiyuan were already seated around the round table.

There are six dishes and one soup on the table, two fat pig's trotters with sauce, a plate of fried sea cucumber with green onions, chicken breast with bamboo shoots, steamed sea bass, five-spiced mutton, a lotus leaf elbow, a big bowl of shrimp and small tofu soup, and a bucket full of fragrant japonica rice in the wooden barrel next to it.

Ren Hongfei and Zhu Youxiao hurriedly knelt down and said: "The child asks for peace for his father and his mother." ”

Zhu Changluo frowned slightly and said, "Get up, where did you go, and you came back." ”

Zhu Youmo and Zhu Huiyuan jumped off the stool and ran over and said: "Wow, it's still the fifth child who is powerful, we haven't found the boss for more than an hour, but we were caught by the fifth hand, and I quickly said where the boss was hiding." ”

Ren Hongfei stood up and said with a smile: "Daddy, the four of us play hide and seek, and the eldest brother hides in a jar in a utility room, if I hadn't heard a noise inside and looked curiously, it is estimated that the eldest brother is still hiding inside." ”

Li Xuanzhi chuckled: "Why is the school so sincere, if they can't find it, do you want to hide in the tank all night." ”

Zhu Changluo also smiled slightly: "Okay, let's eat." ”

Zhu Youxiao and Ren Hongfei thanked and sat down, Li Jinzhong and a palace maid hurriedly put the dishes, chopsticks and bone plates for them, Zhu Changluo watched the four children compete for each other's food, and suddenly felt a burst of family warmth in his heart, poured a glass of wine from a blue and white porcelain wine jug on the right hand, and slowly drank half a glass.

Li Xuanzhi was holding the dishes for Zhu Changluo, and said angrily: "Slow down, what kind of system is it to compete for it, alas, it wasn't like this before." ”

Zhu Changluo smiled: "Let them be, this shows that their brothers are still very close." ”

Li Xuanzhi looked at Zhu Changluo, who was very interested today, and nodded with a smile, he hadn't shown his face like this for a long time.

Half of the delicacies on a table were swept away by the four little guys, all of them touched their mouths with satisfaction, Zhu Changluo looked at it with a smile, and the wine glass in his hand did not stop, his wine volume was not large, and his stomach was full of sunshine after ten cups.

Zhu Youmo and Zhu Huiyuan had already begun to fight restlessly, looking at Zhu Changluo, who was frowning slightly, Li Xuanzhi hurriedly ordered: "Jinzhong, Wu's mother, you take the four of them back to the room, they have been crazy all afternoon, and it is time to rest." ”

Ren Hongfei stood up, stared at Li Jinzhong, and tapped his fingers lightly near the wine jug next to Zhu Changluo, Li Jinzhong glanced at him, and then stepped forward to lead Zhu Youmo away, Wu's mother also took Zhu Huiyuan away, and Zhu Youxiao silently turned around and stepped out of the door, his back looking lonely and lonely.

Ren Hongfei bowed and saluted: "Good night, daddy." Then he walked to Li Xuanshi's side, grabbed Li Xuanzhi's hand and kissed it on his mouth: "Good night, mother, the child retires." With that, he turned around and walked out of Li Xuanshi's door.

Zhu Changluo looked at Ren Hongfei's actions, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Li Xuanzhi smiled: "This kid, I don't know where these tricks came from, Your Highness, are you resting here tonight?" ”

Zhu Changluo pondered for a few seconds and nodded, Li Xuanzhi was overjoyed, and while instructing the palace maid and eunuch to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he personally went to make the bed and spread the quilt.

Ren Hongfei slowly walked into his room, and the anxious Lan'er had already greeted him, grabbed his hand and said, "Xiaofei, you are back." ”

Ren Hongfei smiled, his spirit for most of the day finally relaxed, only in front of Lan'er could he completely unload his guard and speak freely, and there was no talk between the two of them about who was taking care of whom, it could only be said that they depended on each other.

"Are you hungry, Sister Lan'er." Ren Hongfei pulled out his hands and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around Lan'er's thin waist.

Lan'er smiled: "I'm not hungry, when I see you safe, I'm full." ”

Ren Hongfei smiled: "Why, treat me as a roast suckling pig." Lan'er also pursed her lips and chuckled.

Ren Hongfei let go of Lan'er, walked to the dresser in the back room and sat down, asked Lan'er to bring a few pieces of white paper and a carbon strip, and smeared them on them attentively.

Lan'er raised the flame of the oil lamp and looked at it curiously, only to see Ren Hongfei drawing a bird, there were several on each piece of paper, frontal, side, and longitudinal, the bird's belly was hollow, and there was a fixed crossbar in the middle, and there were several gears on the crossbar, wrapped in a ball of extremely thin steel wire-like flat wire, and there was a key on the bird's belly connected to the largest gear inside.

After more than half an hour, Ren Hongfei put down the carbon strip and gently wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, so Lan'er dared to disturb him: "Xiaofei, what is this?" What bird still has a line in its belly? ”

Ren Hongfei folded the paper and put it under the bedding on the bed, walked back and said with a smile: "This is a design drawing for the boss, I want him to make a flying wooden kite for me." ”

Lan'er wondered: "Can the wooden kite still fly?" I don't believe it. ”

As soon as Ren Hongfei raised his hand to interrupt Lan'er's speech, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a gentle knock on the door, and Li Jinzhong said in a low voice: "Little prince, the slave is here." ”

Ren Hongfei opened the door, Li Jinzhong flashed in, Ren Hongfei immediately closed the door, Li Jinzhong held a small food box in his hand, walked to the table and took out a large plate of dishes and a bowl of rice from it, and took out a small wine pot from it, the dish was the remaining elbow and mutton together, Li Jinzhong bowed down and said with a smile: "The servants of this dish have not moved, and the wine is also the high-grade bamboo leaf green drunk by His Royal Highness the Prince, please enjoy it with peace of mind." ”

Ren Hongfei smiled slightly: "Father-in-law Li, please take a seat." ”

Li Jinzhong hurriedly said: "Thank you for the little prince's seat." Half of his butt was slightly against the stool.

Ren Hongfei sat down opposite Li Jinzhong and said in a low voice: "Zhu Youxiao has a nurse named Ke Yinyue, you know, right?" ”

Li Jinzhong nodded and said, "Yes, the slave knows." ”

Ren Hongfei said: "She is your most important assistant, you must hold her firmly in your hands." ”

Li Jinzhong was dumbfounded, because although this guest Yinyue was just a little nurse, he didn't dare to move!
