Chu Haoxu, as a prince and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, covers an extremely wide area of the palace, but in the past two years, no one has taken care of it and it has been barren, and the magnificent pavilion in the front yard is not only stained with thick dust, but the bright carvings have even faded in color. The backyard was originally a small bridge flowing water, birds singing and flowers, and the scenery was pleasant, but at this moment, the bluestone paved road was full of leaves, and the sound of insects was one after another, mixed with small animals jumping around from time to time, a bleak scene.

Seeing Chu Yuanfei walking vigorously, the atmosphere seemed to be depressed by the environment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Xiaofei, why are you walking so fast?" In the past, when we were together, I always led the way, and you kid dragged behind. ”

While speaking, Chu Haoyu suddenly thought of what happened when he was a child, and laughed: "I remember the most clearly, let's go to Renshou Palace to pick the peony flowers that Aunt Bi took care of, and in the end, because your kid ran slowly, he was caught by the palace maid and eunuch, and everyone was punished." ”

Chu Yuanjing slapped his head and shouted, "I also remembered, but it seems that the two of us were punished." In the shouting, Chu Yuanjing glared at Chu Haoyu even more, and said, "At that time, the imperial grandfather said that since I ran the fastest, I would compete with Maxima, and if I win, I will not be punished." I was very happy at the time, who knew that Grandpa Huang, like your boy, let me run with Maxima for an afternoon. I was so tired all afternoon that I was carried back at night. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Yuanjing glared at Chu Haoyu again before continuing: "As for Xiaofei, the imperial grandfather said that you like flowers so much, you can write a few poems without punishment." At that time, Xiao Fei was only seven or eight years old and could write poems, and the imperial grandfather said, since you can't write, then copy it, how many have you copied? ”

"One thousand seven hundred and seventy-six." Chu Yuanfei finally opened his mouth, and glared at Chu Haoyu like Chu Yuanjing, and said, "At that time, the imperial grandfather said that as many petals as there are poems. We picked peonies, and a few of them were golden-waisted, and one flower was hundreds of petals. In order to copy more than 1,000 poems, I searched the library for two months. ”

This time, Chu Yuanjing glared at Chu Yuanfei and shouted: "That's because your kid is too honest, and the emperor's grandfather didn't look at it at all after copying, it's like his kid is like a nobody." ”

Haha laughed, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Why haven't I been punished?" My father asked me to count the petals, and I counted them so much that my eyes were spent, hum, if I hadn't been extrajudicial to show kindness, how could there be more than a thousand songs? A golden waist is six or seven hundred petals, let's pick four or five, hum. After another light snort, Chu Haoyu looked at Chu Yuanjing, and then said: "Also, who is chasing you on a horse, if I hadn't released the water, do you really think that the four-legged thousand-mile horse can't outrun your two-legged Chu Yuanjing?" ”

With a snort, Chu Yuanfei finally laughed and said: "I see that you are laughing very happily on the horse, driving Xiao Jing while pumping the horse, the palace maid guards who were waiting on the side at that time didn't dare to look up at all, for fear that they couldn't help laughing, even the extremely angry Bi Niangniang couldn't help but be happy when she saw it." ”

Thinking of what happened at that time, Chu Yuanjing was still very annoyed, and shouted with a gloomy face: "Xiao Qi, you are embarrassed to say that your punishment is clearly the supervisor." You came up with the idea, and you were the one who took the lead, and when you were finally punished, you boy became the overseer. ”

Chu Yuanfei nodded approvingly, and said, "Actually, even if you haven't been caught, Grandpa Huang can guess who did it." In the palace, apart from you Xiaoqi, who dares to touch Bi Niangniang's baby. ”

Chu Haoyu didn't deny it, but chuckled, and shouted: "Who let you run slowly, if I don't catch you, I'll say that I did it alone, so at most I will be scolded by my father and queen mother, and apologize to Aunt Bi." Speaking of this, Chu Haoyu turned his head to look at Chu Yuanjing and said, "So, it's because Xiaofei is running slowly that you will be punished." ”

Suddenly, Chu Yuanjing and Chu Yuanfei pointed at Chu Haoyu at the same time and shouted, "You ......" glanced at each other, and the two opened their mouths at the same time.

"I'll say it first!" Chu Yuanjing opened his mouth and said.

"You speak first!" These are Chu Yuanfei's words.

As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time, and at this moment, Chu Haoyu also laughed, and shouted first: "You two, nothing has changed." ”

"You haven't changed!" Chu Yuanjing and Chu Yuanfei spoke at the same time, but one voice was high and the other was calm.

Suddenly, the three of them laughed at the same time, and the cheerful laughter echoed deeply in the lonely house.

In the laughter, the three of them seemed to return to the carefree days when they were children. When the laughter fell, Chu Yuanfei glanced at the two of them and asked, "Why are you dressed like this?" ”

Chu Haoyu said nonchalantly: "Of course, it's for the martial arts test ......" Suddenly seeing Chu Yuanfei's expression, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Xiaofei, you don't know yet, right?" ”

Shaking his head, Chu Yuanfei opened his mouth and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

Chu Haoyu was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Chu Yuanjing had already shouted, "You really don't know? ”

Seeing Chu Yuanfei nodding, and seeing Chu Haoyu speak, Chu Yuanjing asked with some doubts: "You don't know such a big thing, I'll tell you about it." ”

After a rough explanation of what Wu Xian and the two of them had done these days, Chu Yuanjing patted Chu Yuanfei on the shoulder and said, "How about it, it's fun, or you ......" Suddenly thinking of Chu Yuanfei's situation, Chu Yuanjing hated that he couldn't give himself two big mouths, and he didn't know what to say with his big open mouth.

Glaring at Chu Yuanjing fiercely, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said, "Xiao Fei, Xiao Jing is a big mouth, you don't have to pay attention to him." By the way, why are you still growing vegetables in the back garden? ”

Suddenly seeing that the garden had become a vegetable garden, Chu Yuanjing seemed to have found a savior, and hurriedly asked, "That's it, who planted so many vegetables in the palace?" ”

Chu Yuanfei's expression was calm, and he couldn't see the joy and sorrow, and said lightly: "In the past two years, the mother concubine strictly forbade us to go out, so she ordered someone to change the garden into a vegetable garden. I didn't know that such a large vegetable garden was almost enough for a year. ”

"Just like that, how many people are there in the house now?" Chu Yuanjing just asked casually, but after finishing speaking, he suddenly found that he was asking something he shouldn't have asked again, raised his hand and slapped himself fiercely, and shouted: "Xiaofei, don't be weird, my stinky mouth never speaks." ”

Looking at Chu Yuanjing, Chu Yuanfei opened his mouth and said, "It's okay, the mother concubine is inside, and this vegetable field is planted by the mother concubine." ”

"What?" Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing were really taken aback, staring straight at Chu Yuanfei.

Under the gaze of the two, Chu Yuanfei said calmly: "After that incident, the mother concubine dismissed all the subordinates, and most of the people who stayed in the mansion were the personal guards who had followed their father for many years, and many of them were still injured. For more than a year, although the Zongren Mansion sent Yulu on time, the mother didn't want people to come and go often, so she opened up a few plots of land in the courtyard to grow some vegetables to be self-sufficient. ”

Chu Yuanfei's tone was very calm, he couldn't hear any joy, anger and sorrow, and even chuckled lightly after speaking, but suddenly, Chu Haoyu felt an inexplicable pain for some reason, and a kind of sadness, even strange.

Shaking his head and throwing out the distracting thoughts in his heart, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "No wonder you don't know about the martial arts test." It's okay, Xiao Jing and I will often come to you to play in the future, and when the time comes, the three of us will make a big fuss about the palace, no, no, it's a big havoc in the capital. ”

Nodding in agreement, Chu Yuanjing opened his mouth and agreed: "Yes, when we were children, we made trouble in the palace, and now we will make trouble in the capital." Hmph, you weren't there before, I felt very bored by myself, but now with the two of you, I don't think anyone would dare to go against us. ”

Following Chu Yuanfei's footsteps, soon, a simple thatched hut appeared in front of the two of them. Glancing at Chu Yuanfei, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "The fourth sister-in-law lives here?" ”

Seeing Chu Yuanfei nodding, Chu Yuanjing shouted: "Xiaofei, why don't you persuade your mother?" Live in this kind of place. ”

Shaking his head, Chu Yuanfei smiled bitterly: "Why didn't you persuade me, but since my father's accident, my mother ordered someone to build these thatched huts and have been living here." ”

Chu Yuanjing couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

Chu Haoyu understood what the fourth sister-in-law meant after a little thought, although she couldn't be with the fourth brother, she still had to share weal and woe. Thinking of this, Chu Haoyu glared at Chu Yuanjing and said, "As long as you talk a lot, let's go, go and meet the fourth sister-in-law first." ”

Walking to the door of the thatched hut, before the three of them could speak, the door of the house had been opened, and a gray and white woman in linen stood at the door and looked at the three of them quietly, it was Chu Haoxu's wife, Mrs. Huayang.

Looking at Mrs. Huayang, who was once famous all over the world, Chu Haoyu couldn't help but sigh secretly. I haven't seen her for three years, Mrs. Huayang's peerless face has gone, the wrinkles on her forehead seem to tell the helplessness and hesitation of the past, the gray hair on the sideburns seems to tell the elegance taken away by the years, and the dim eyes are slightly melancholy, but the expression is still calm and kind.

After quietly sweeping the three of them, Mrs. Huayang sighed lightly, "You shouldn't have come. Haoxu was named the King of Wisdom, why are you so confused this time, you really shouldn't come. ”

"Mother!" In the shouting, Chu Yuanfei knelt down directly.

Chu Yuanjing also knelt on the ground and shouted respectfully: "Little worship to see the fourth aunt." ”

"Xiao Qi has seen the fourth sister-in-law." While speaking, Chu Haoyu bowed and saluted, and then continued: "Before leaving the mountain, the fourth brother specially instructed Xiao Qi to come to meet the fourth sister-in-law, and told the fourth sister-in-law that the fourth brother is all right, don't worry." After finishing speaking, Chu Haoyu bowed again.

With another sigh, Mrs. Huayang opened her mouth and said, "Xiao Qi has a heart, Xiao Jing, get up." After finishing speaking, she glanced at Chu Yuanfei, who was kneeling on the ground, and Mrs. Huayang said in a deep voice: "Do you know what is wrong? ”

Chu Yuanfei said respectfully: "Xiao Fei knows his mistake, please punish the concubine." ”

Mrs. Huayang asked, "What's wrong?" Chu Yuanfei didn't hear Chu Yuanfei's words for a while, and Mrs. Huayang said again: "Could it be that you think your mother is wrong?" ”

Chu Yuanfei hurriedly said: "No, it's Xiao Fei's mistake." ”

Seeing this, Chu Haoyu interjected and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, don't be embarrassed Xiaofei." Xiao Jing and I dare to come over, so don't be afraid, you don't have to worry about the two of us. Also, we will come often in the future. ”

At this moment, Chu Yuanjing also opened his mouth and said: "That's it, fourth aunt, let Xiao Fei fly first!" ”

Looking at Chu Haoyu and Chu Yuanjing, Mrs. Huayang's gaze finally fell on Chu Yuanfei, and said, "Spare you this time, dare to have a next time, and punish them together." Get up! ”

"Thank you, Concubine." After kowtowing, Chu Yuanfei stood up, but he didn't dare to look at his mother with his head down.

"Alas!" With a low sigh, Mrs. Huayang turned around and walked into the hut and said, "You all come in." ”
