I didn't have time to think about it or ran back to the house: "Daddy, Aunt Song ......"

"Miss is back!"

"Hmm!"

As soon as I came back, the other maids ran out, and only the housekeeper saw me and didn't say hello. I know he's still angry with me about the last time I played him, but I don't want to lie to him, who told him to listen to my daddy so much, chasing me to death.

I leaned over: "Steward Yu, I have something for you!" ”

Butler Yu's voice trembled and covered his face with his hands: "Little, what does Miss have to do, I'm afraid it's not poison powder?" ”

I thought it was funny: "Where do you get so much poison powder?" "Pull out a peach blossom from behind you," Here you go. ”

Butler Yu frowned: "Peach blossoms? What's the use of my old bones asking for this flower, it's better than a handful of poison powder! ”

"Steward Yu, I'm going to transport the peach blossoms to you!"

"Miss is really good at laughing!" Butler Yu couldn't help but laugh when I said it.

"Ah Candle is back!" Aunt Song was even more overjoyed and ran out.

"Aunt Song."

I pulled out another peach blossom: "The peach blossoms that Aunt Song gave you are a little wilted, and it may be better to soak them in water." ”

Aunt Song continued: "Ah Candle grows up and knows that it hurts, so go in quickly."

Mo'er put her hand on Aunt Song's shoulder: "Aunt Song misses me!" ”

"Think about it, when you and Ah Candle leave, this house is a lot more deserted, I'm a little unaccustomed to it!"

I didn't see Daddy come out: "Hey, where is Aunt Song and my Daddy?" ”

"Tomorrow is Madame's death day, and the lord will go to the street early in the morning to buy worship items for tomorrow!" Aunt Song said as she walked.

"I see."

Also, in addition to my business, that is, my mother's business, Daddy took it so seriously.

Gonggong Li took Chu Muxiu into the palace and walked outside the main hall, Chu Muxiu was just about to step in, but was stopped by Gonggong Li with his hand.

Gonggong Li looked at the sword on Chu Muxiu's waist: "Your Highness, civil and military officials are not allowed to bring a knife to meet the saint, Your Highness, you have a ...... on your waist."

Chu Muxiu glanced at Gonggong Li: "Mu Xiu understands. Chu Muxiu took off the Chilian sword at his waist, "This sword has been with me for many years, and I don't know how much enemy blood is stained on it, and I ask my father-in-law to watch it for me." ”

Gonggong Li, an amateur who had been hiding in the deep palace all day long, was scared all of a sudden, his face turned pale, and his hands hanging in the air trembled and he didn't dare to come up to catch them.

Chu Muxiu grabbed Gonggong Li's hand suddenly, and then put the sword tightly in his hand: "Please Gonggong Li watch it for me!" ”

Gonggong Li opened his mouth and stammered: "Your Highness, rest assured, Your Highness's belongings are taken care of by the old slave, and they will never dare to make a difference." ”

In Chu Muxiu's opinion, Gonggong Li is just like Chu Hanyuan, looking majestic, but in fact he is as timid as a mouse.

Chu Muxiu walked in: "Brother see Your Majesty!" ”

His Majesty hurriedly got down from the dragon chair and helped Chu Muxiu up: "Virtuous brother doesn't need to be polite, I heard that you met bandits and robbers on the way to the border, sixth brother, you didn't hurt you!" ”

Chu Muxiu stood up: "It's okay to go back to Your Majesty's brother, but your brother just returned to the court with the army today, how did Your Majesty know that I was robbed?" ”

His Majesty smiled: "Oh, I heard that there are many robbers and robbers outside, and you are transporting 10,000 taels of gold, so it will naturally be more eye-catching." ”

"Your Majesty is witty."

His Majesty walked over and pretended to pat Chu Muxiu's back a few times: "Oh yes, I set up a special reception banquet for the sixth brother in the palace, and the sixth brother will go back to the house after having dinner in the palace." ”

Chu Muxiu clasped his hands into fists: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your hospitality." ”

The dinner was set up in the Imperial Garden, where the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother were already sitting.

"See the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother." Chu Muxiu walked over with His Majesty.

"King Yi doesn't have to be polite, come and sit." The Queen Mother didn't even get up and sit on the seat and said lazily.

"King Yi, sit down quickly!" Shen Suyi looked very happy, and the joy on his face couldn't be suppressed.

"Thank you Queen Mother, Queen Mother." After Chu Muxiu finished the visit, he took a seat.

Chu Muxiu had to endure it no matter how unwilling he was, and several people with bad hearts sat together, and this meal was naturally difficult to swallow.

"Sixth, you are not too young, don't dance with knives and guns all day long, it's time to think about marrying a concubine." Halfway through eating, the Queen Mother suddenly spoke.

Shen Suyi's eyes froze and slowed down the movements in his hands, and all of this was seen by Chu Hanyuan.

Chu Muxiu raised his head: "You are worried about the Empress Dowager, but Mu Xiu feels that he is still young and does not want to consider the private affairs of his children, and Mu Xiu is stupid and will not please girls." ”

The Queen Mother looked at Her Majesty again: "Your Majesty, you too, always drag the sixth child to either lead troops to fight or comfort the people, the sixth is your own brother, you should also give him some free time to choose a concubine!" ”

"The queen mother is right, I didn't think it through!"

"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother Mo said this, it is Mu Xiu's duty as a prince to pacify Huancheng and protect my Tianyue peace."

Chu Hanyuan and Empress Zhao's mother and son sang and harmonized, ostensibly for Chu Muxiu's sake, but who didn't know that they wanted to take back the military power in Chu Muxiu's hands. Chu Muxiu is naturally not stupid, how can he be fooled.

I found a porcelain jar filled with water and inserted peach blossoms into it, and before Daddy came back, I put it in front of my mother's spiritual seat. The peach blossoms are already a little wilted, and I just beg my mother not to blame me.

It was already dark, and Qian Che led the horse to guard outside the palace: "Your Highness." ”

Chu Muxiu walked over: "Qianche, why are you here!" ”

"As soon as you returned to the city, you were summoned to the palace, and the Taifu was worried so he asked me to come here and wait for you!"

Chu Muxiu smiled bitterly: "What is there to worry about, Chu Hanyuan just sees that no matter how unpleasant I am, he is not in a hurry to kill me now, besides, if I die in the palace, how can people not be suspicious." Zhao's mother and son are just thinking of a way to force me to hand over the military power, Chu Hanyuan is mediocre and listens to Zhang Weizhi's villain's slander, not only does not do useful things for the people, but increases taxes every year, deducts military salaries, soldiers and people are miserable, and people with lofty ideals outside are also angry in their hearts, if Chu Hanyuan does not stop, it will be a matter of time before he rebels. If I really hand over the military power, the soldiers may not be willing to serve him, and he may not be able to keep the country. ”

Qian Che led the horse and walked: "Your Highness is right, now that the days are different from the past, Your Highness, you have won the hearts of the people, and it is more and more difficult for Your Majesty to harm you." ”

"By the way, Qianche, I just have something I want to ask you."

"Your Highness, please speak."

Chu Muxiu lowered his head: "That is, if one of your friends is going to celebrate her birthday, what will you give her?" ”

"Naturally, it's for what she likes!"

"Then what do you see the girl's family like?"

Qian Che glared: "Isn't it Ah Candle's birthday?" ”

Although Qian Che was a person who knew the roots, Chu Muxiu was a little panicked: "How do you know? ”

Qian Che laughed: "Ah Candle's big mouth is talking every day when he is at the border, how can I not know." ”

"I see, so what do you say she likes?"

Qian Che was stunned for a while: "The girl's family must like hairpins, Your Highness, aren't you good at craftsmanship, carve a hairpin for Ah Candle by hand, she will definitely like it." ”

"Well, that's a good idea."

That night, Chu Mu chose a piece of high-quality wood, carefully carved it under the lamp for a long time, and did not finish it until midnight and then went to bed.

I'll get up tomorrow at dawn, and today is an important day.

When I got up, the house had already begun to arrange some things, and in the morning, when my father came back from the court, he took me into the ancestral hall. Daddy stood, I knelt on the bunch, Aunt Song took a few sticks of incense to me and Daddy, I knelt down three times and then got up.

I looked at my mother's spirit card: "Mother, I'm Ah Candle, are you doing well over there, you can rest assured that my father and I are all right, by the way, you still like the peach blossoms I gave you!" ”

Daddy smiled with a vicissitudes of life: "You came so far for your mother, and your mother was naturally very happy." ”

I have worshiped my mother, only stay in the ancestral hall for a while and come out, I have more free time than Daddy's, I will go to the ancestral hall to talk to my mother when I have time on weekdays, and now I have to give Daddy a good time to talk to my mother.

Daddy put a few sticks of incense into the brazier again, and said while wiping the table: "Youlan, don't dislike it, it's all dirty, I'll wipe it off for you." You see that our Ah Candle has grown so big, her child is as kind and enthusiastic as you, but she is too active, and she can't stay when she walks around all day. I don't have much time to take care of her, last month the Lu family came to propose, you don't know how happy I am, but Ah Candle, the child who worries me, actually ran away, and I can't blame her entirely, I pushed her too hard. Now that it has been so long, the Lu family has not moved, and I am afraid that they have no intention of treating us Ah Candle, so they can just take one step at a time. Youlan, you must bless us Ah Candle and bless her for the rest of her life. ”

I don't know what Daddy said to his mother inside, but it was a long time anyway, and Daddy didn't come out until it was almost dinner. As soon as he came out, he went to the kitchen, and in the morning he instructed the grandmother in the back kitchen to make me a bowl of long, long longevity noodles. In the afternoon, the servants took down the worship items and replaced them with the red cloth strips used for my birthday. Aunt Song changed a new quilt for me, and Mo'er found a new red dress for me.

To be honest, I don't like red, because I always think it's too ostentatious for me. But Aunt Song said that the big red color is festive and auspicious, and it must be worn today.

Today, all the people can receive a reward and eat a good meal. After taking care of everything, I sat with Daddy, Aunt Song, Mo'er, and Butler Yu. In fact, Daddy doesn't have many rules, as long as it's a good person with me, you can eat at the table, and Aunt Song and they are not outsiders, they can be said to have no home anymore, and Daddy and I are their relatives in the house.

Daddy raised his glass: "Come, everyone raise a glass and wish Ah Candle a happy sixteenth birthday!" ”

I also held up my glass: "Thank you, Daddy, thank you." ”

Daddy gave me a jade bracelet, saying that it was given to my mother by my grandmother, and now my mother is gone, Daddy will transfer it to me, the bracelet is very beautiful and just suitable for me, not to mention that it is my mother's thing, I am naturally very happy. Aunt Song gave me a handkerchief, because she always said that I didn't look like a girl, and gave me a handkerchief to pretend to be a girl. What's even funnier is that Mo'er directly gave me a bottle of bone-breaking, and whispered in my ear that you shouldn't use yourself as a stepping stone when you climb over the wall in the future.
