After a continuous spring rain, the sky suddenly clears, the breeze passes, and the vegetation is renewed.

Mu Zili has been particularly boring recently, the reason is that the palace teaches the female red grandmother keeps walking around her, letting her pinch the small needle and thread to embroider some flowers and plants, this skill, up to the royal family and nobles, down to the common people, as long as it is a girl, you must be able to sew and mend, although Mu Zili was born in the emperor's family, she can't use sewing and mending on weekdays, and she will also sew two stitches on the embroidered robe she married in the future to ask for an auspicious one, which is the rule left by the ancestors of Chongshan Country over the years, although Mu Zili is unwilling, he still has to study hard.

But talent is a very important thing, just like her wood is better than the palace guards on trees and walls, but embroidering flowers and plants is more difficult than climbing to the sky.

When the twelfth small opening was pricked on Mu Zili's finger, the female red mother was distressed, and finally couldn't stand it anymore, so she gave Mu Zili a half-day vacation, and allowed her to sit under the eaves in a daze, so that she could realize the true meaning of embroidery.

Mu Zili sat under the wooden corridor, looked up and counted the eight swallows that had flown over, and when he was bored, he saw a colorful kite flying in the sky not far away.

The appearance of this kite immediately attracted Mu Zili's attention, and after looking around, he trotted all the way to the courtyard wall, climbed a peach tree that had already borne peaches on the side of the wall, jumped out of the courtyard a few times, and ran towards the kite.

In the imperial palace of the country of Chongshan, there is a small garden, and the garden directly encloses the entire lake and several hills with low undulations.

Mu Zili ran to the hillside with the kite and saw that the kite was actually depicted as a colorful dragonfly, with big wings, flying higher and higher in the sky against the wind.

While running, he laughed a few times, Mu Zili didn't have to guess to know that the person flying the kite must be her brother in the city, because in the entire palace, he is the only one who can constantly surprise her.

"Brother Cheng, I'll release it too!"

The girl ran happily, beckoning from afar, blowing her hair up when the wind rose, bouncing up like a carefree fawn, cheerful and ignorant.

There was the usual gentleness in his eyes, Li Cheng stood in place, holding a kite and waiting quietly for Mu Ziyu, seeing the girl getting closer and closer, and suddenly heard a few shouts on the side of the hillside.

"Ah Li, Ah Li!"

Mu Zili stopped and turned her head, and saw that her second brother was jumping and waving to this side, with an expression and posture that was exactly the same as her.

Seeing that it attracted her attention, the second brother seemed to be trying to trick her, deliberately squeezing his eyebrows and eyes together, protruding his teeth to make an ugly appearance, but his hands were still learning Mu Zili's movements.

Mu Zili stood in place with his waist crossed, thinking about getting angry, but he couldn't help but laugh at the second brother's ugly appearance, and covered his stomach with laughter, almost sitting on the ground.

Seeing that the trick failed, he returned to his original appearance, rubbed his deformed facial features with his hand, and called to Mu Zili: "Ah Li, let's go catch the rabbit, we will definitely catch it this time." ”

When Mu Zili heard this, he was a little deflated, and then he looked at the second brother next to him, standing the young man in ink clothes he met that day, with a chic and noble posture in the wind, more like a prince of a great country than his second brother who looked like a monkey. At this time, the young man was standing at the end of the hillside, looking at her with a smile, Mu Zili felt that he was dazzled, and he clearly read a bit of inexplicable pampering from it.

As if sensing Mu Zili's attention shift, her second brother took the initiative and stood on tiptoe in a rather rare past, hooked the young man's shoulder in a friendly manner, and introduced to Mu Zili: "Let's take Ling to hunt rabbits together, he has the best skills!" ”

Mu Zili looked back at Li Cheng, who was holding the kite and froze a little, and said eccentricly: "Brother Cheng is also very skilled!" ”

is a compatriot, and it seems that her second brother is also particularly able to grasp Mu Zili's thoughts, and tempted: "I heard that the nest of rabbits running around on the mountains outside the city has another gray hair, if you don't go, you will be caught by others." ”

Mu Zili was moved, looked back again, and said to the second brother: "Let's take the city brother to go too!" ”

"No way!" It seemed that the words hadn't come out of his mind, and the second brother opened his mouth and refused: "Proton can't leave the palace, I'm already risking punishment by taking Ling out secretly, I can't take two at a time." As he spoke, the latter words lowered his voice and muttered: "What's more, this prince doesn't like him either!" ”

It seems that knowing the knowledge has become a habit, Li Cheng didn't wait for Mu Zili to be embarrassed, looked at the second prince who was full of displeasure, and forced a little smile and said: "I won't go, Ah Li, you know, my riding skills and archery skills have not been good." ”

Mu Zili felt sorry, and couldn't help scratching his head to think about what compromise he could, and when he was worrying about his brain, he saw that Li Cheng had collected the kite in a hurry, and said calmly: "There is still a book in my room that I haven't finished reading, if Mr. can't answer the question when he asks, and he wants to slap me in the palm again, Ah Li, you don't want to hurt me." ”

Mu Zili nodded, and didn't bother thinking about this matter, he looked at the kite in Li Cheng's hand for a moment with a nostalgic gaze, nodded and said: "Brother Nacheng, you put away the kite, and we will release it together another day, you have always grasped your homework tightly, and I won't delay you." ”

Li Cheng smiled and nodded towards Mu Zili.

Mu Ziyu ran towards the second brother's side as quickly as he got the pardon, and then ran and threatened: "I must have caught the gray rabbit first!" ”

"It's me!" The second prince pulled his neck and deliberately provoked Mu Zili's anger. The brother and sister chased and played, followed by the young man who walked steadily, and went in the direction of the palace gate.

On the hillside, Li Cheng watched the three of them leave from a distance, their faces were still gentle and harmless, but the papier-mâché lantern in his hand had been crumpled into a ball of shredded paper.

On the outskirts of the imperial city, three people rode horses galloping past, Mu Zili looked at the second brother who was desperately trying to surpass her, and the young man who was always unhurried behind him, waved a whip, chased after him and whispered: "Second brother, how can you like him?" ”

"Nonsense!" The second prince scolded, and retorted at the top of his voice: "What I like is the Jiaojiao of Yangchun Pavilion, you don't know it!" ”

Mu Zili was speechless for a while, and retorted: "What I said is not that kind of liking!" ”

The second prince muttered: "Then you make it clear next time, say what I like him, and if you like it, you like it!" ”

Mu Zili gritted his teeth on the horse, his voice was almost angry with his second brother, the wild donkey, and quietly looked back at the person behind him with an unpredictable smile, and Mu Zili felt that his face was red from the root of his ears to his neck.

Riding a horse, accompanied by the whirring wind, Mu Zili suppressed his voice and said: "You hate this and hate that every day, how do you look at this guy?" ”

The second prince said arrogantly: "I'm happy, I see that the donkey in the mill in the city is also pleasing to the eye, hehe." ”

Mu Zili angrily pointed at his second brother with a horsewhip and scolded: "Just your prodigal appearance, Jiaojiao won't like you, Jiaojiao likes the big brother like that!" ”

This point seemed to have completely pierced the sore spot of the second prince, and he couldn't help but cover his chest, pointed to his sister who was close to him by blood, and verbally attacked: "Mu Zili! You, you, you, you can't catch a rabbit! ”

Mu Zi's ability to be angry is natural, and he said indifferently: "Anyway, you haven't caught it, the last time you caught a pheasant, you planted it in the ditch." ”

The second prince couldn't say that he was sister, and when he was angry, a female voice behind him approached, and asked the two: "I have already passed the foot of the mountain, do you still want to go forward?" ”

The brother and sister stopped their horses, and when they turned around, they found that they had already thrown off the hill where they were going to catch rabbits.

And Mu Zili noticed that when the two of them were desperately racing horses, the young man who had been following behind could catch up, and couldn't help but rush to be surprised, and in the end, Mu Zili attributed the reason to the fact that the other horse's physique was strong, and his legs and feet were better than theirs.

Entering the mountain, the second prince was angry with his sister's sullenness and did not want to hunt with her, so he carried a bow and arrow dagger on his back and went to the other side of the forest, leaving Mu Zili and the young man to stand at the foot of the mountain, which made Mu Zili feel embarrassed in the air for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

As if hinting, Mu Zili took the lead and said: "The second brother went west, then I went south, what about you?" ”

Without thinking, the young man said directly: "I'll accompany you." ”

"Huh?"

Mu Zili was surprised, but he heard the young man seem to be comforting: "Don't worry, if you find that gray rabbit, it will naturally belong to you." And ......"

The young man took a step forward and stood beside Mu Zili, this time, Mu Zili realized that he was only on the other party's shoulder, and he was looking up in a daze, when he saw the other party lowering his eyes, he said with a smile: "I am older than you, you should call me Brother Ling." ”

Mu Zili, who had just grown up as a girl, had not done much in the world, and at first glance she was bewitched by the noble and majestic person in front of her, opened her small mouth, and called out honestly, "Brother Ling." ”

The young man nodded, listening to the sweet and innocent voice in his ears, and his heart melted into the spring breeze all over the mountains.

Stepping on the grass up to her ankles on the hillside, Mu Zili walked, while carefully looking for the figure of a rabbit in the grass, sometimes the two people were close, Mu Zili felt that there was a faint, extremely elegant fragrance on the other party, and this fragrance seemed to have buried traces in her consciousness, but she could think about it carefully, but she didn't know anything.

When she arrived at the mountainside, Mu Zili felt tired, wiped the sweat on her forehead, sat on the stones on the side of the road at will, and fanned the cool breeze a few times without any manners, I don't know if the second brother lied to her, the rabbit did not find it, but found a dry mouth.

The slender and white hand held a small water bladder and handed it over, Mu Zili glanced up, a little cramped, quickly put down his shirt, and called again, "Brother Ling." ”
