Chapter 4 Tonight and Night, Candlelight
The ninth day of April is a good day, the wind is mild, and the sky is clear. On this day, the palace was very lively, with people coming and going, rushing and busy.
At four o'clock in the morning, Lingbi and the others were urged by Concubine Rong to change their clothes and makeup. Wu Zhaoyi has brought his second son, Xiao Zhengzhi, over.
"Sister, I guess it's Lingbi holding back again, isn't it?" Say it and laugh. Concubine Rong smiled helplessly, "It's not her!" It took a long time to make a fuss, and I put on my clothes after coaxing. ”
Looking at Lingbi, who was sleepy with a sleepy face, Wu Zhaoyi smiled, "Second Highness, you can clean up quickly, Xiao Hangzhi is already waiting in Qi Tiandian." ”
Lingbi came to the spirit, "Really? ”
"I lied to you?" Wu Zhaoyi smiled.
Lingbi urged Mama Zhou, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm going to play with Brother Hang." ”
Concubine Rong smiled, "My sister still has a way." ”
Wu Zhaoyi smiled, "Do what you like." ”
A few people packed up, and the palace people came down to the Qitian Palace, and sure enough, the people from Yuzhang Wangfu had arrived, and Lingbi Huanxi was running over, and was suddenly hugged by a bear from behind, and a simple and simple voice came from the top of his head, "Lingbi Lingbi!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”
Xiao Junzhi, the son of King Qing of the five big and three thick, looks very generous and festive, only eight years old is already like a child in his teens, since he glanced at the beautiful and lovely Lingbi side, he is willing to become Lingbi's lackey, Lingbi loves to support him to get into trouble, Xiao Jun's fart is in trouble, and he is happy to ask Lingbi for credit, Lingbi has already slipped away, and sometimes crosses the river and demolishes the bridge.
As Lingbi's most loyal pony, Xiao Junzhi may be the most beaten by his parents among all the princes and grandchildren.
"Brother Junzhi, I bothered you to bring my kitten a few days ago?" Lingbi's eyes crooked with a smile. Xiao Junzhi looked left and right, and said proudly in Lingbi's ear, "Brought it to you!" The little spoon is held in the rockery by the pond. ”
"Brother Junzhi, you are so good!" Lingbi's eyes were sincere, and he looked grateful from the bottom of his heart.
was sweetly called brother by Tiantian's sister, and then praised by Tiantian, Xiao Junzhi was overjoyed, bouncing like a second fool, risking the risk of violating the palace rules to make Lingbi's sister happy, Xiao Junzhi felt that it was worth the beating.
Of course, he was ready to be beaten.
was haunted by Xiao Junzhi for a long time, Lingbi couldn't get out, and when the seal had begun, she stood in the crowd stupidly, not complaining, so she could only look around.
The seal is tasteless and cumbersome, Lingbi couldn't wait to find Xiao Hangzhi, Concubine Rong grabbed her, "Princess Yuzhang will bring her brother to Gantang Palace in a while, let's go back first." ”
Lingbi seemed to believe it or not, Concubine Rong smiled, "If you don't believe it, I'll leave, where are you going to see the people from Yuzhang Palace?" ”
Lingbi stretched out his head to see that the ministers had dispersed, where could he still see who belonged to which house? I could only follow Concubine Rong back to the palace.
The agarwood pond can be taken by boat to the Lingxiang Pond of Gantang Palace, and after a few steps, Lingbi's legs are sleepy again, shouting to take the boat, Rong Concubine is helpless, so she can only rely on her, and let Mama follow.
As soon as Concubine Rong walked away, Lingbi pulled Zhao Ning Minxing and ran to the side of the rockery happily, "I asked Xiao Junzhi to bring something fun." Small spoons? Little spoon!"
Hearing the second highness call, the little spoon of the inner supervisor who was squatting in the rockery with numb legs hurriedly ran out and offered the kitten in his arms, "Second Highness, the prince of King Qing said that he had to hide it, and he didn't want to be discovered by Rong Niangniang......"
Lingbi happily hugged it in her arms and couldn't put it down, where could you hear the chatter of the little spoon.
The kitten is snow-white, with two blue eyes and crystalline eyes, and it is still a palm-sized little milk cat. It was the first time for Zhao Ning Toshiyuki to see such a cute animal, and he also liked it very much.
A few people folded the tender green willow branches to tease, the kitten is very active, playing round and round, the three of them look interesting, only to see the kitten suddenly do not move, the eyes are round and straight, the three of them looked at it along its line of sight, the kitten has jumped out to catch butterflies by the pool, the panicked Lingbi is busy chasing, Zhaoning Minxing also chased over, the grandmother palace maid in the distance did not understand what was going on, saw the three masters running, they also ran, hula a group of people hugged before and after, I don't know who hit it, Minxing tilted his body into the pond, the palace people screamed to pull, where to pull?
Xiao Yue, who happened to be passing by, rushed forward and jumped into the agarwood pool without hesitation.
Everyone saw a green shadow passing by, and there was a sound of water in their ears, and when they looked back, the emperor was fishing for the county lord in his arms.
The nurse Song Mama hurriedly took it and took Minxing and patted her back in her arms.
Xiao Yue was wet, the palace people helped him wring water, seeing that Minxing was choking and coughing, his face was pale, Xiao Yue looked around, and his voice was already annoyed, "Lingbi come out!" ”
Mama Song then remembered that it was the emperor who saved the little county lord, and she was busy apologizing, "It's all because the slave maid is not optimistic about the county lord, please convict the emperor!" ”
Xiao Yue frowned and said, "It's better to take the county lord to see the imperial doctor quickly." ”
Seeing that the emperor was not to blame, Mama Song hurriedly hugged Minxing and ran away.
Lingbi knew that he was in trouble, and timidly peeked behind the shrunken tree from time to time, but he didn't dare to slip away.
"Come out." Xiao Yue said while twisting his clothes.
Lingbi had no choice but to move it out.
"If you can't copy it ten times tonight, women are not allowed to sleep. Xia Yuan, catch that little beast and send it to King Qing's mansion. After Xiao Yue finished speaking, he raised his feet and left.
The crown prince and King Jingjun, who had been standing behind Xiao Yue and had not spoken, said in unison at this time, "My sister didn't mean it, we are willing to accept it on my sister's behalf." ”
"Copy the Analects ten times."
The crown prince and King Jingjun looked at each other, Lingbi's eyes were dripping, frowning and snorting "Oops" and they were about to fall to the ground, and the two little palace maids on the side saw this, and they hurriedly held on to it, and shouted in a panic, "Second Highness!" Second Highness! His Royal Highness was frightened! Call the Imperial Doctor! ”
Lingbi Lai pretended to be sick in Gantang Palace for half a month, and Xiao Zhengzhi, the king of Jingjun, complained to his mother Wu Zhaoyi, "Lingbi is obviously pretending to be sick, and Minxing is the real illness." ”
Wu Zhaoyi smiled, "The county lord has a high fever repeatedly, how many imperial doctors have been summoned by your father." Lingbi is afraid that your father will blame you. ”
Xiao Zhengzhi snorted, "Father is always partial and sensitive. ”
Wu Zhaoyi patted her son's head, "Hurry up and do your homework, be careful of your father's spot check." ”
Xiao Zhengzhi couldn't bear to read and write, so he took advantage of Yan Meiren to find his mother and concubine, and secretly took a small bow and arrow and slipped out.
A few days ago, he and Xie Dingyi competed in archery, Xiao Zhengzhi was one arrow worse than losing to Xie Dingyi, and the boss was not convinced, and today the two agreed to compare again.
A group of children had gathered in the side hall of Yongshi Palace, and when they saw Xiao Zhengzhi coming from a distance, Ye Weichu beckoned, "Second son, this way!" ”
This year, Ye Weichu was eight years old, and it was best to take a group of children to play crazy and adjust the contradictions, and everyone was very convinced of this big brother.
As soon as Xie Dingyi saw Xiao Zhengzhi, he said proudly, "You said that your master is amazing, why aren't you amazing?" I don't think that's it. ”
Xiao Zhengzhi said unconvinced, "Don't talk about my master!" You were lucky the other day, and we'll compare it today. ”
Xie Ding smiled, "No matter how good it is compared to you, it is still not better than your master." ”
Xiao Zhengzhi's little face flushed, "Don't talk about my master." Do you dare to compare? ”
Xie Dingyi, "I don't compare with you." Isn't the master who taught you archery great? If you can win my eldest brother, I won't talk about your master. ”
"Who is your eldest brother? Where is it? I'm going to compare myself to him. ”
The children around laughed, "Second son, Xie San's eldest brother is Xie Youyi, he is very good at archery." ”
Xie Dingyi dragged away Xie Youyi, who was chatting with Su Yao next door, with a gust of wind.
Xie Youyi was dragged to the children's pile by the third brother with a blank face, and the children were busy with the arrows and rakes, Xie Dingyi snatched a small bow from a child on the side and stuffed Xie Youyi's hand, "Big brother, let the second son open his eyes!" ”
Xie Youyi was helpless, feeling that the third brother was very bored, and was about to turn around and leave, when a childish child's voice sounded in his ears, "You are Xie Youyi?" If you come to shoot an arrow, I'll see how good you are. ”
Xie You looked back and saw that he was a very handsome child, five or six years old, with Mingzhu tied his hair, and he was unconvinced. Xie Youyi knew that if he didn't make a move, he would definitely not be able to leave today, so he stepped forward and bent over, "Second son, you invite first." ”
Xiao Zhengzhi drew his bow full, and an arrow hit the red heart, and a cheer sounded around him.
Xie Youyi also set up a bow and arrow, the difference is that he set up three arrows, and the three arrows hit the red heart in the stunned crowd. Handing the bow to Xie Dingyi, he said to Xiao Zheng, "Second son, offended." ”
Xiao Zhengzhi's eyes were full of admiration, and he grabbed Xie Youyi's shirt, "Big brother, can I shoot three arrows at once like you?" ”
Xie You smiled, "The second son practices diligently, and he can also do it when he grows up." ”
"Can you teach me then?"
"Your archery teacher is Master Li Chengguang Li, right? He is the best archery in our Southern Dynasty, and if you learn it by heart, you will definitely be more skilled than me in the future. ”
"But I want to learn from you."
Xie You smiled, "I'll be back in Lingzhou in a few days, second son." ”
The sky in April in the south of the Yangtze River is changeable, at this time the clouds cover the moon, it is going to be windy and rainy, and the children have played a meeting, and they have been called back by the palace people one after another.
The night breeze of Shaoguangyuan is slightly cool, and the dark fragrance is floating, Xiao Yue has been here for most of the day. Xia Yuan hugged the fold and came over, followed by two small dots.
"Why are you here? Don't go to bed early yet. ”
Lingbi jumped to the side of his father's couch and said sweetly, "Father, I miss you." Min Xing sat quietly on the edge of the couch and smiled slightly, holding his cheeks and looking at Lingbi coquettishly.
Xia Yuan joked, "His Royal Highness has to follow to accompany the emperor, His Royal Highness has a commendable filial piety." ”
Xiao Yue said lightly, "Don't support her." Minxing, tell me, is Lingbi having a temper with Mama Zhou again and doesn't want to go to bed early? ”
Minxing smiled and nodded, and Lingbi pushed her in annoyance, "Minxing, I won't pay attention to you." ”
Xiao Yue took the fold and looked at it, "You guys will play here, and go back to sleep in half an hour." ”
Lingbi cheered and kicked his shoes and socks and climbed on the couch, Min Xing gently moved the lamp closer to his uncle, still sitting on the edge of the couch and watching him make a fold, Xiao Yue raised his eyes, and smiled in the spring breeze, "You come up too." ”
Lingbi lay on his father's back, "Minxing, come up!" ”
Min Xing smiled shallowly when he heard this, and shook his head, "I don't want it." ”
Lingbi grinned, "Minxing won't take off his shoes and socks." ”
Min Xing's white little face was flushed, "I ......"
She really wouldn't, and she didn't want to push down like Lingbi. Xiao Yue smiled, put down the fold and got up, squatted beside her, and lifted her feet.
Xia Yuan hurriedly said, "I'll call Mama in." ”
"No, you don't."
The shoes and socks were a little wet when they came, Xiao Yue helped her take them off, and went to untie the socks.
Min Xing lowered his eyes and saw his heroic eyebrows, good-looking eyes, and high nose bridge.
Xiao Yue picked up the soft little girl and put it on the couch, sat down and continued to fold it.
Min Xing stared at his uncle, the young man opposite had a hard jaw line and a green stubble, Xiao Yue caught a glimpse of her blank eyes, chuckled, held her hand, it was cold, at this time the wind and rain were getting tighter, the coolness hit, Xiao Yue held her in his arms, rubbed her hair and said, "Are you sleepy?" ”
Min Xing nodded, shook his head again, Xiao Yue chuckled, raised his hand and pulled out a book of poems, "I'll teach you the poems that you didn't finish that day, okay?" ”
Min Xing smiled, "Okay." ”
"Life is like morning dew, and the world is full of people. Hardships often come early, and reunions often come late......"
"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love...... Try to love Chunhua, don't forget the joyful time. Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc. ”
"People don't have the beginning, and you want to end up ......"
Xiao Yue read it to her sentence by sentence, his voice was soft, and after reading it, he roughly explained the meaning, seeing that the villain in his arms seemed to understand or not, Xiao Yue chuckled.
Min Xing has long been literate, and there is no pressure to read the Four Books and Five Classics by himself, but some words and sentences are not well understood. It doesn't matter if Xiao Yuedao doesn't understand, you just need to remember that you will always understand when you touch the scene in the future.
Lingbi was already asleep, and Xiao Yue touched her hair through the candlelight, full of tenderness.
