Eighth, the road is long, and the night is not in the middle

As the hour approached, the sky was half-dark.

Dongfang Yan got up from the beauty couch and stretched - lazily turned around and saw Li'er staring at the unopened New Year's candy in a daze, thinking that she wanted to eat it. smiled and said, "Take it and eat it." The tone involuntarily softened a lot, dusting off the folds on the robe, huh! It's time to greet Situ Lie to get up for breakfast!

After Dongfang Yan went out, Li'er was stunned in place, crying and laughing...... She was just wondering why Miss didn't eat sugar! But I was misunderstood by the young lady and thought that I wanted to eat...... Who the hell is a child? Look at her tone, she clearly treats me like a child, right?! Li'er thought like this, picked up the New Year's candy with a wry smile on her face, and her heart was slightly sweet, and she couldn't help pouting and thinking: Well, Miss is still quite considerate in some places~ A box of New Year's candy has become a memory that I have to say in the future.

At this time, Situ Lie's room, knock knock, knock knock......

Dongfang Yan symbolically knocked on the door and then pushed it open as if no one was around, and he was used to the room where no one answered, so that he developed the habit of going in directly~

As soon as he entered the door, as expected, Situ Lie fell asleep holding the wine jar, the quilt was half on the ground, and when he raised his foot, another wine jar was kicked down and gurgled out to flow out a little residual wine, and the fragrance of flowers and wine overflowed the room~

Hey, although I am used to this scene, I can't help but sigh, Dongfang Yan walked in and pushed open the window, the smell of lilacs came with the wind, blowing down the aroma of wine, and then the blue lilacs that bloomed one after another fell from the four seasons, and the spring scenery came in naughtily through the window. The sun playfully hit Situ Lie's face, and a layer of golden light fell on his eyelashes, flickering and jumping. The blue stubble could be seen on his chin, the corners of his mouth moved slightly, he raised his hand to cover his eyes, the wine jar fell from his arms, and with a crisp sound, he fell on his feet and rolled down, finally waking up Situ Lie's sleepy insect.

Situ Lie sat up in shock, looking left and right, Dongfang Yan leaned against the window with his hands on his chest, and looked at Situ Lie's stunned expression when he just woke up. Seeing Dongfang Yan finally sober up, Situ Lie hugged his head helplessly and had a headache and shouted: "Who let you in, stinky girl!! ”

Dongfang Yan covered his ears as expected, and replied calmly: "I knocked on the door, but you ignored it." ”

Situ Lie looked at the sky speechlessly, what kind of student is this~

Dongfang Yan bowed down and smiled slightly: "Yan'er greets Mr., please dine in the front hall of Mr." Originally, these people only ate two meals a day, but since Dongfang Yan came, they gradually changed their habits, so that Situ Lie could not change the habit of getting up in the morning and evening. Dongfang Yan strode out of the room without looking back, leaving Situ Lie to blow his beard and stare on the bed.

At this time, the main hall only heard a loud announcement: "The second prince has arrived~"

Dongfang Yan raised his eyebrows, and glanced back at Situ Lie, who was busy putting on his clothes and putting on his socks, and he forgot about it, he received a message from the palace a month ago to send the second prince back, and Dongfang Yan didn't care much. After thinking about it, he strode out of the room and waved everyone to the front hall.

Dongfang Yan raised his voice and saluted: "See the second prince." ”

Sima Xuan stared at the lowered eyebrows, pale cheeks like jade, first happy, and unconsciously remembered that after returning to the palace, he met the young imperial doctor's real name was Chu Fengyun, and briefly asked two sentences whether Dongfang Yan's injury would leave a scar, and the imperial doctor Chu said with a complicated expression that the scar would definitely be left, and it would hurt the fundamental qi and blood to be difficult to reconcile. Then he looked strange and seemed to think about it, and replied with a strange sentence: Miss Dongfang's pulse is not like an external injury, but like poisoning? After speaking, he shook his head, and left without saluting with a contemplative look, I heard that Imperial Doctor Chu was originally from the rivers and lakes, and his medical skills were excellent, but he was informal, and he just smiled.

Seeing her now, I can't help but brush her hands folded in front of her waist and the sleeves of her clothes hang down to cover the hideous scar, and a trace of guilt is imperceptibly crossed in her eyes. Immediately, his eyes signaled, and Gonggong Gao stepped forward and unfolded a scroll-like thing from the hands of the palace people, and first whispered with a pleasant face: "Miss Dongfang, Your Majesty remembered that you were injured by saving the second prince, and specially ordered us to bring ice muscle jade dew cream." Then Zhengse sang the rest of the rewards: "A thousand-year-old mountain ginseng, a hundred-year-old ice toad gall, a bunch of phoenix grass, and a hundred-year-old Tianshan snow lotus......

Sima Xuan glanced at Gonggong Gao, and read in a long tone, estimating the length of the next gift list, thinking that it would be impossible to read it for a while and a half. The father's order is a reward, and Dongfang Yan does not have to bow fully, but it is not comfortable to see Dongfang Yan curtting his knees and not finishing the half-salute, and he is afraid to say when he sees the rest of the people kneeling and sore backs...... Immediately coughed lightly.

The Gao Gong Guild paused: "Miss Dongfang, the ice muscle jade dew cream and gift list are here, and Miss Dongfang is also asked to take it, and the things will be moved directly into the warehouse, please Miss Dongfang will check it later." Gao Wei handed the gift slip to Dongfang Yan and returned behind Sima Xuan.

Sima Xuancai pretended to cough lightly, and waved his hand as if he didn't care: "No courtesy." ”

Situ Lie hurriedly dressed up and rushed out to greet him, and then all the complicated scenes Dongfang Yan talked about the color of running away on the grounds of recuperating from his injuries, let Situ Lie greet him! Seeing that breakfast was not finished, I went to the kitchen to touch two steamed buns and went back to the room to take a travelogue and quietly ran to the root of the wall of the mountain of Yinghe Garden to hide, the little feet hung on the edge of the pond and flicked it, the blue embroidered lotus rolled gold-edged small embroidered shoes on the water surface and gently picked up the circle Qingyi, the posture was leisurely. After all, recuperate, hide, don't be too open.

Slandering while nibbling on steamed buns, how can these people stand it with only two meals!? Don't you think the right way to eat is four meals? Breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper! Thinking about the vicious and hungry, Ken took a big bite of steamed buns while reading the travelogue and eating with relish.

The wind blows the blue waves, the lotus pond in early spring is still only the lotus leaves of the graceful fluttering with the wind, from the gate of the garden is enough to cover her small figure, on the spring scene gnawing steamed buns while singing in the heart of the spring breeze blowing the scenery is unique! From time to time, a few blue lilac petals floated from outside the wall naughtily landed on the tips of the Oriental goose's hair and pages, she didn't care much about accepting and rejoicing at this naughty spring, as if the spring breeze had a tune, and occasionally one or two petals fell on the steamed bun in the hand and simply swallowed the petals into the belly, the mouth was slightly sweet and slightly bitter, it turned out that spring also had such a taste.

A chuckle came from beside him, only to hear the crisp and hearty voice and joke with a playful smile: "Could it be that Yanyuan can't afford to raise Miss Dongfang?" Unexpectedly let Miss Dongfang eat flowers and drink dew, hiding in this corner and greedy to watch the spring cool? ”

Shocked Dongfang Yan's hand shook, the remaining small half of the steamed bun in her hand rolled into the pond not long after being swept away by the koi in the pond, she was able to stabilize the book in her hand and turned her head to stare at Sima Xuan who was smiling behind her, only to see Sima Xuan's smiling eyes, sparkling eyes, bright as obsidian, reflecting the pond spring lotus and his own shadow in the pupils, smiling and revealing neat snow-white teeth, smiling triumphantly, the handsome face is slightly immature, but it also has a bit of posture at a young age, and he is alive and free from a fox spirit! Dongfang Yan maliciously wanted to grow up, but how could he get it, and he was definitely drowned in the girl's sachet purse!

Sima Xuan saw Dongfang Yan touch his nose and looked at the cunning in her eyes when she fell into the pond and was snatched away, which seemed to verify some conjectures in her heart and felt that this was the case. Dongfang Yan gave him a different feeling from Miss Jiao in Kyoto, it was a kind of informal, natural and naΓ―ve performance, and immediately opened his mouth with three points of banter and seven points of joke: "I heard that Uncle Liu said that Miss Dongfang is benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise, gentle, courteous and frugal, so she praised me a lot, why is she looking at me with fierce eyes now?" Could it be that ~ is not the same as the outside? The tone was long, the tone was relaxed, there was no shelf of the prince on weekdays, I saw that Dongfang Yan was not like the previous time we met, and I showed such a child's posture, it was really interesting, and I stared at Dongfang Yan with interest between the words, and the brilliance in my eyes was full of brilliance.

I only heard Dongfang Yan's calm face, and his eyes were also three points of jokes, and seven points of jokes, and he smiled ill-intentionedly, and slowly opened his mouth to retort: "I heard that the second prince is knowledgeable, reasonable, arrogant and cold, and now he is standing behind people silently, maliciously suspecting that everyone's girlfriends are singing, and the rumors are very inconsistent with it." ”

Sima Xuan was speechless when he heard everyone's beautiful stalks, and could only stare at Dongfang Yan with wide eyes, which woman in Beijing didn't lower his eyebrows and make a little daughter gesture when she saw him, so she called everyone a beautiful girl, okay?! Are you embarrassed to say that?!! However, Dongfang Yan did not pretend to be delicate and twisted, which made Sima Xuan's heart very satisfied, and at that moment, he flipped it in his hand, took out the peach blossom crisp brought by Kyoto in the cuff, and walked straight forward to sit on Dongfang Yan's side, handed it over and said with a smile: "Sister Yan'er, don't be angry, I just laughed with you." Oh, this is much better than steamed buns, how about I make amends to you? There was a hint of imperceptible flattering laughter between the words.

Dongfang Yan also heard that Sima Xuan did not open his mouth and closed his mouth in the palace, and he was not polite at the moment, grabbed a piece of peach blossom cake and put it in his mouth, only to feel that the mouth was sweet and there was no greasy feeling, and the mouth was fragrant, fragrant and fragrant, and the light and elegant peach blossom fragrance came and went, as if he was in the peach blossom forest, and the light and light floral fragrance lingered, which suddenly made people feel light. I am interested in carefully looking at the peach blossom crisp, only to see that the color and powder are crystal clear, the pattern pressed on it is delicate and delicate, the center of the oil paper bag and the pastry are embossed with a musical word, and the upright embroidery is more like a jade seal, like a beautiful jade carved but a little reluctant to swallow.

Sima Xuan said quite proudly: "This is the peach blossom cake of my Yaocheng famous Lerong Lou (yue), last time I ate your green jade shoots, this time I will also give you a taste of the special flavor of my Yaocheng, only five hundred copies a day The royal relatives can only line up to buy, but I let people line up before dawn, how, sister Yan'er?"

Dongfang Yan looked at him with sincere eyes, and inadvertently showed brilliance in his words and smiles, and said in a calm tone: "Yes, thank you Your Highness for your trouble." ”

Sima Xuan was happy in his heart, "How about Sister Yan'er call me Xuan?" In the future, will the governor of Japan keep calling His Highness, does it seem to be angry? ”

Dongfang Yan was silent, and in his heart, he slandered whoever entered the door and said fiercely: Why don't you still salute when you see this palace? !

"Sister Yan'er is still angry about what happened last time? Last time, I was wrong and caused you trouble, and I tried hard to go back, but my father only promised to reward you with things but couldn't take back the holy decree, and besides, my father said that the holy decree didn't really punish you, and no one guarded you, and you can do whatever you want. Don't be angry, okay? I have to say that when there are no outsiders, Sima Xuan's attitude still makes people very willing to make friends with him.

Dongfang Yan's heart turned, maybe a long-suppressed thought flashed in his heart, and said calmly: "I'm not angry. ”

"Really? That's good......" Sima Xuan was cut off by Dongfang Yan before he finished speaking......

Dongfang Yan smiled: "My head is still on my neck, and I'm already very satisfied, Brother Xuan." ”

Sima Xuan: "......"

Sima Xuan: Aren't you angry yet?! However, the girl in front of her took a closer look and found that she was indeed exquisite, showing a little calm and elegance at a young age, if you ignore the slightly cunning and ill-intentioned tone, Brother Xuan is even sweeter to the heart, after all, everyone is very tolerant of cute children, and Sima Xuan is no exception. smiled at the moment and said, "That's good, sister Yan'er, please advise." ”

I didn't notice a few people at the gate of Yinghe Garden in the distance, sneaky and obscene people quietly looked at this side, it turned out to be Situ Lie, Gao Gonggong and Liu Commander, you can't blame them, the elderly people imagine all kinds of beautiful deeds such as childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, etc., but they are afraid of being discovered by the two little guys, and they each smiled obscenely, but among the three, except for Gao Wei, who is a little older, Commander Liu and Sima Xuan are only in their twenties, so no matter how obscene, they also have a little taste of mature men, but a smile reveals the unique affinity flavor of the uncle. From a distance, I saw two small figures sitting side by side among the lotus leaves in the field, talking happily and smiling at each other.

Gao Wei, the father-in-law of Gao, immediately took a deep look and was very respectful: "The old slave is relieved, and I ask Mr. Situ to take more care, and the old slave has thanked His Majesty." Commander Liu also clasped his fists and saluted: "Xuan boy is naughty, you have to bear more." Although the tone is different, they are all caring and loving to Sima Xuan, after all, the mood of watching and growing up since childhood is also very close to father's love, revealing a slightly reluctant look.

Situ Lie returned the salute, "Don't worry, please also tell Your Majesty the location of Yan'er's confinement, and I won't pass on the book." I wonder if Your Majesty will have any objections? ”

Gao Wei immediately laughed and joked: "Your Majesty has no intention of imprisoning Miss Dongfang, but she can't bear the queen's temperament." You and I both know it, and as for the location, there must be no problem. In addition to the familiarity of the honorific title and tone in front of the person, it is like a friend for many years, and this is another untold story.

At that moment, Liu led the two father-in-law Gao to return to Beijing with a large group of people who came, leaving Sima Xuan and Dongfang Yan here to learn the teaching of Wentao, Wuluoqin, chess, calligraphy and painting with Situ Lie.

The next few days in the wild goose garden were spent in the usual calm and unusually intense, the two children recited books and played together, and what was even more terrifying was that the little devil of Dongfang Yan and Sima Xuan got along with each other, and when the two of them were together, they were more like wild horses that turned the wild goose garden upside down, Situ Lie shouted all day long: What kind of evil is this!!

When the two little devils were busy, they climbed trees together, went crazy together, and accidentally broke Situ Lie's wine jar, and were chased by Situ Lie all over the mountain together, and finally quietly climbed on the roof, pouted and peeked at Situ Lie holding bamboo sticks everywhere to find people, the two looked at each other and smiled, lying on their backs on the roof, blowing the cool night breeze, and no one noticed that Situ Lie was standing below looking at the roof, pampering and laughing helplessly. On the roof, the two of them let the starlight shine all over their bodies, enjoying this rare calm and unrestrained time, the breeze blowing through the mountains, the flowers blowing through the sky, the starlight blowing the two of them, the robes slightly swept away, and the hair tangled under them.

The night is as cool as water......
