"Girl, Your Highness's carriage is waiting for you in the Suzaku backstreet." Zi Su saw Huo Shui'er who had come back, and said in a low voice.

"So early?" Huo Shui'er thought that she would have to use lunch.

Shisu brought out a small cup of hot milk porridge, "Girl, let's use some cushions to pad your stomach." It was stewed in the morning, and now it is soft and fragrant. ”

Huo Shui'er waved her hand, her breakfast has never been very regular, when the old lady didn't come before, it was common to only use two meals a day, but now although she gets up early, she doesn't feel it when she is hungry.

Shiso had no choice but to order someone to warm the porridge, and if he wanted to drink it at night, he had to drink it.

At this moment, the sunlight has slowly sprinkled all over the house, shining dazzling light at the corner of the eaves, Huo Shui'er pinched the fan casually, checked the makeup, and walked slowly to the back door.

Qinheyuan is close to the back door, and it is very quiet on weekdays, except for the little maid who is responsible for shopping, there are no people to walk on this road.

The back door is the back street, which is different from the bustle and bustle of Suzaku Street, and the back street is much more deserted. The flow of people is small, and it is also easy to hide people's eyes and ears.

Ji Yuan sat firmly in the carriage and closed his eyes to recuperate, his slender fingers tapping on the table board one by one, until a sweet and glutinous female voice sounded outside, "Is Brother Prince inside?" ”

"Jiaojiao." The man's voice was unique and lazy and magnetic, Huo Shui'er's heart trembled slightly, and she opened the curtain with her bare hands.

Obviously, they hadn't discussed it beforehand, but the two of them were wearing purple clothes, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and Ji Yuan's gaze was too aggressive, making her feel like an electric current flowed all over her body, dense and soft.

I randomly picked a position that was neither far nor close to me and sat down, "Brother Prince." She obediently lowered her head and stared at the delicate patterns on the case in a daze.

"Jiaojiao, come here." Ji Yuan pursed his lips, he was still far from the villa, he couldn't see it or not eat this way, right? A hand was stretched out, and his eyes were full of firmness that could not be refused.

"Hmm." The carriage had already started, Huo Shui'er moved slowly over, and instantly fell into a generous and warm embrace.

The man played with her soft fingers, "I like the delicate purse." ”

Huo Shui'er muttered, "It's obviously very ugly, I know my own craftsmanship, don't coax me." ”

The man leaned into her ear, "Call me Chengze." ”

"Cheng Ze." Huo Shui'er felt an itch in her ears, and moved her body slightly, but her big hand tightly wrapped around her waist, "That purse ......"

"If you think it's ugly, just give me another one after you've practiced your craft." Ji Yuan took out his purse from his arms and brought it to Huo Shui'er, "It's a partial, you still dislike it." ”

Huo Shui'er tilted her head slightly to look at him, just touching her thin chin, "There are a lot of mosquitoes in summer, is it good to make a sachet?" ”

"I like all of Jiaojiao's doings." Ji Yuan rubbed her face, the woman had a fresh and fruity fragrance, smelling sweet but not greasy, making him close his eyes with enjoyment.

Ji Yuan's sudden gentleness made Huo Shui'er a little uncomfortable.

"Jiaojiao has lost weight again recently." Ji Yuan really felt that the waist in his arms was too thin, as if it would break if he exerted force.

Huo Shui'er shook her head, "I didn't have much appetite in the past two mornings. ”

Ji Yuan hugged her tightly in distress, "Is it because the weather is getting hotter?" ”

Huo Shui'er leaned on him, "Summer in Beijing has always been hot, and this is also a helpless thing." It's just early summer, so it's not sad. "This body is afraid of cold and heat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is weak and can't help the wind.

Ji Yuan's thin lips pursed into a straight line, "There have always been many ice cases in the East Palace, I have practiced martial arts since I was a child, and I am not afraid of the heat." When the time comes, I will send it to you for use. "It seems that his Jiaojiao is really squeamish, if he remembers correctly, the ice rules in the minister's house are limited, what should I do if Jiaojiao is hot at that time?

"I'm not afraid of gossip." Huo Shui'er's fingers played with his jade pendant, tracing the lines on it little by little.

Ji Yuan frowned, "Who dares?" "After all, the people in Beijing are not without eyes, and the truckloads of ice cubes are transported from the East Palace to the Huo Mansion, and everyone else is blind.

His big hand stroked Huo Shui'er's face, his skin was so delicate that he couldn't look like it, and the thin cocoon formed by his perennial martial arts practice made Huo Shui'er a little itchy, "I'll go back and talk to my mother, and I'll send all the ice to you in her name." ”

Huo Shui'er changed her posture, rested her head on his knees, stared at his gentle and solemn eyes, and sighed lightly, "Cheng Ze, the ice is going to melt when it is transported from the palace, isn't it troublesome." ”

The man's eyes suddenly became as sharp as an eagle, and his hands tightened a little, "What do you say you won't use my ice?" ”

Where is it here again, Huo Shui'er clearly felt that he was a little angry, so he had no choice but to hang his hand on his neck, sit up straight a little harder, and gently hugged him, the woman exhaled like an orchid, and said gently, "I was just worried about trouble, and I didn't refuse to use your ice." ”

Ji Yuan didn't know where the little fire in his heart started, and he didn't know why he couldn't hear or hear her soft and glutinous voice, he just hugged the woman tightly with his hand, "As long as you're not hot." ”

When Huo Shui'er heard this, a trace of strangeness flashed in her eyes. There was no reply, since he was so insistent that he wanted to give it, let him be.

Only the purple figures embracing each other were left in the carriage, and they were in a room.

————------------- I am the dividing line of the landscape---------------------————————

"Master, it's here." The carriage stopped, and Levin jumped out of the carriage and said respectfully.

Ji Yuan took the lead and reached out to help Huo Shui'er down.

Huo Shui'er stood on the ground and looked around, it was originally the south of the city, but it was actually out of the city, but it was the direction of the south outside the city, and now it was standing in a large open space, with forests on both sides, and the road he walked when he came was also very narrow. Looking at this day, it must be far away from the city, no wonder you have to go out very early.

Ji Yuan held her hand and said as he walked, "This villa was a birthday gift from my father when I was sixteen years old. ”

"Do you have a name?"

Ji Yuan took her and walked inside, and said, "My father gave her the name 'Dongli Villa', this villa is in the forest, you can hunt in all seasons, you can escape the heat in summer, and you can soak in hot springs in winter. It's just a little farther away......" He suddenly bent over Huo Shui'er's ear, and the hot air sprayed onto her neck, "Otherwise, I would have to hide you here in the summer." ”

The girl's pretty face was dyed crimson, "hidden", and she didn't look at what she said, today's Ji Yuan was not reserved at all!

Ji Yuan blushed when he saw her, "What are you shy about?" ”

Huo Shui'er coughed softly twice and disguised, "Where are you shy, nonsense." ”

"Hahahaha." Ji Yuan laughed rarely, and even the people hidden in the shadows were surprised, "This is the first time I have seen the master bring a woman, it is the Huo girl that the brothers said last time, right?" The other touched him, "Looks like we'll have to change our tune sooner or later." ”

There are not many people in the East Fence Villa, and occasionally I meet one or two, all of whom are dressed in the same style of black. didn't speak, just saluted silently, Huo Shui'er could feel the murderous aura that they deliberately hid and couldn't contain, it was clearly summer, but it had the cold of winter, and couldn't help but lean close to Ji Yuan, who took her in his arms and silently added in his heart, "Petite and timid." ”

"What are we going to do here?" Huo Shui'er looked at the things in the open space in confusion, if she was not mistaken, those iron ones were all barbecue shelves, and there were many fresh meat and vegetables neatly placed around, with a wide variety of categories, and some small bottles and cans.

Ji Yuan pressed her on a stool, rolled up his sleeves, and sat next to her to sort out the ingredients, "I think you stay in Huo Mansion on weekdays, and rarely eat like this." ”

Huo Shui'er silently slandered, barbecue, before she didn't cross, it was a must for late-night dramas, and with a glass of beer, it was amazing.

Ji Yuan's movements were very skillful, "When I was a general in the Southern Barbarians, I once strayed into the ambush of those barbarians, and the army and the Huotou battalion were separated, and the soldiers only had very little dry food on them, so they couldn't do anything at all. His dagger flashed with cold light, and Huo Shui'er stared at him without blinking and disemboweling a fish.

"Although there is miasma in the Lingnan forest, there is a lot of food, and the soldiers take local materials and roast them with fire to eat." His eyes showed nostalgia, "It's not good to drink wine and burn meat with those brothers." ”

Huo Shui'er saw him sprinkle red powder on the meat, "This is ...... Chili pepper? She is not happy in modern times, and often asks Zisu to put more, but Zisu told her that this thing is extremely expensive, and sometimes it can't be bought with money, so she gradually stopped thinking, but she didn't expect Ji Yuan to be so spicy.

"The land of the Southern Barbarians is very humid, and some families plant this to dispel dampness, but the yield is not high. After pacifying the Nanban, I sent a team of people out to sea, and there was an island full of such chili peppers. Ji Yuan flipped the meat while sprinkling. Can you eat it? ”

"Put more." Huo Shui'er could already smell the spicy smell in the air.

Ji Yuan saw her staring intently at the fish in her hand, like a little rabbit, and her heart moved slightly.

"Why are Jingzhong chili peppers sold so expensive?" Huo Shui'er was looking forward to it, but at the same time, she was a little puzzled, it was extremely difficult for non-nobles and ordinary people to see or eat it.

"The situation on the sea is complicated, sometimes ten boats of people go out, maybe only half of them can come back." Because this is a human life exchange, it is precious.

"Why don't you keep more seeds and plant more in Lingnan?" Huo Shui'er was puzzled.

Ji Yuan patiently explained for her, "Even in the past few years, I have encouraged production in Lingnan, where there is already a sparse population, and there are too few laborers who can carry out production, and there are few people here who are willing to move to the past." ”

He looked at Huo Shui'er as if he was thinking about something, and continued, "However, encouraging childbirth may not be able to relieve the pressure, most of the old subordinates who followed me before have migrated to Nanban with their families. He paused, "The desolate Nanban will sooner or later become a prosperous and rich place." ”

Huo Shui'er could clearly feel his expectation and confidence, "Is the fleet that went to sea just to bring back chili peppers?" ”

Ji Yuan smiled, "Do you think that your brother Chengze is just a person who wants to satisfy his appetite?" "I sent twenty fleets out to sea, hoping that they would bring other news from the sea." ”

Huo Shui'er tasted the fish, "The craftsmanship is really good." Obviously seeing that Ji Yuan didn't have any complicated processes, why did this taste make her want to swallow her tongue together.

She looked at Ji Yuan's somewhat distracted face, the sun was shining on half of his face, she didn't know what he was thinking, was he thinking about the fleet that went to sea?
