Chapter 22 A Day Is Like Three Autumns
By the time the funeral of the Queen Mother had passed, it was June in the blink of an eye.
On this day, a little rain fell in the afternoon, and the sun came out in the afternoon, and there was a first dampness, and the warm wind blew, which was very pleasant.
In the Hebi Palace, because the master was not there, the girls took advantage of the good weather, so they all went to the garden in groups to make trouble, and it seemed very quiet and quiet for a while. Xiao Yun entered the court through the door, and when he saw that there was no one around, he thought that he had come for nothing, so he pounced.
But as he approached the back room, and listened to the small and broken sounds coming from inside, he was relieved again.
Standing in front of the door, he took out a small bronze mirror from his arms, and measured his beloved appearance six or seven or eight nine times, the little prince was satisfied, carefully withdrew the mirror, shook off the folding fan in his hand, and coughed twice deliberately.
"Ahemββ!
In the room, the girl who was picking up the small medicine bottle by the box immediately froze when she heard this sound, and then raised her head sharply, and almost missed the lid of the box.
There was a knock on the door outside.
The man was still afraid that others would not know who he was, and he shouted 'I'm back', like a parrot.
Su Qingchen held his stiff neck all the way, walked to the door, and opened the door.
Xiao Yun didn't have time to stop his hand, and directly knocked a finger on her head.
"Hissββ!" Qingchen covered his head and said in his heart: Okay, in the end, I still answered the sentence because I couldn't avoid it.
Xiao Yun calmly withdrew his hand, snorted, and asked her, "Why are you so careless?" β
Qingchen was not ambiguous at all, snatched the folding fan in his hand, closed it neatly, and knocked it on his head.
was stopped by Xiao Yun with a look of 'expected'.
Successfully dodging a sneak attack, the little prince smiled proudly, and was about to speak, when suddenly his knee hurt - he looked down, and the girl's hooves wedged on his knees had not yet been withdrawn, as if she was waiting to show herself her ability to hit the west.
Qingchen slowly withdrew his feet, sighed regretfully, and returned his words to him: "Little prince, you are so old, why are you so careless?" Bump into someone's foot? β
After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yun to reply, she pinned the fan to her waist, grimaced at him, and turned around and walked back to the house.
Xiao Yun followed her into the door with a resentful face.
"Yo heββ!" As soon as he turned the corner, he saw all kinds of bottles and cans all over the floor in the inner room, and he exclaimed in surprise and asked her, "Who are you holding back to poison?" β
"Hmph, whoever bullies me will poison him!" As she spoke, she turned her head to see him sitting on her bed with an unceremonious face, and when her little face fell, she walked over and pulled him: "Oh, don't you hate it?" How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to sit in my bed! β
"......Shh I've slept in the past, what's wrong with sitting down now? As he spoke, he deliberately moved in, sat more and more solidly, and said, "I'll sit!" Sit down! β
"How old were you then, and how old are you now?" She said unhappily: "I'm a serious girl, hurting people's reputation and ruining people's reputation, don't you dare to do it without any burden?" β
"Hey! Do you still know that you are a serious girl? Xiao Yun pretended to exaggerate and said: "Tsk, 'ruining people's reputation' - I see that your reputation has already been almost ruined by yourself!" β
"Huh?" When Qingchen heard this, he stopped pulling his movements, and while thinking, he copied a bottle of potpourri nectar from the small case on the side and took a sip, "Why don't I know?" β
Xiao Yun's words obviously meant something, from the time she was at the door just now, she felt that this person's attitude was a little wrong, but she thought about it and felt that she was a good girl who was in line with the rules, and it was not related to bad morals and customs.
Xiao Yun looked at her coldly, crossed his arms and smiled: "Tsk, are you still pretending to be stupid, sister?" β
As soon as this 'sister' called, the girl who was still dancing with her teeth and claws at the right time immediately lost her temper.
She frowned and scratched her head, crouched back in front of the box, and continued to deal with the bottles and cans, "I don't know...... Who pretended to be stupid......"
"Heh," Xiao Yun asserted indifferently, "Then you are really stupid." β
"Hey!" Qingchen glanced at him as if he was warning, "Don't think that if you call me a sister, I won't be willing to beat you!" If you don't have any more to do with me, beware of me telling my dad to go and let him kill you without him knowing! β
Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that if your father knew what 'good things' you had done, then the first one he would be killed would definitely not be me.
There was no movement around him for a long time, and Qingchen slammed the corners of a few poison bottle boxes, and began to persuade bitterly: "Yun'er, you are so old, in two years, Your Highness should find your mother-in-law's family for you-oh, no, it's for you to find a daughter-in-law to marry, can't you still be like when you were a child, arrange me when you have nothing to do, and put all the basins on my head......"
She said with great interest, Xiao Yun's eyes became deeper and deeper when she looked at her, and a cold chuckle came, and he said, "What's the matter, call you sister, you really treat yourself as my mother?" Su Qingchen, do you want me to calculate with you, from childhood to adulthood, which of us will carry more black pots for whom? β
Qingchen unconsciously shrunk his neck, and after a while, he became arrogant again.
"You lie to me all day long, what's wrong with giving me a few pots?" Resentment went up, and the bottle under her hand was made by her to clang: "You weren't the one who took the sugar gourd to trick me into jumping over the wall?" He also said that riding a donkey was more magnificent than riding a horse, and not only did he deceive my mount, but he also told me to put a longevity lock upside downββ"
The more she talked, the more angry she became, and she picked up the bottle and threw it at him.
"Xiao Yun, are you still embarrassed?"
Xiao Yun took the small porcelain bottle firmly in his hand, snorted with a smile, and looked closely, there was still a trace of pride between his eyebrows.
"What is this?" There was no name on the porcelain bottle, so he pulled out the cork, leaned to his nose and sniffed it, as if it was a little sweet: "Is it also nectar?" β
Qingchen didn't like to pay attention to him, and waved his hand perfunctorily in disgust: "Ahhh β
She just said it casually, but she didn't want to, and when she turned her head inadvertently, she really saw him tilt his head and pour the small bottle of things into his stomach.
"Mother!" Qingchen's mind turned white, and he struggled to stand up and rushed to his side, snatching the small porcelain bottle, "You are going to die!" If you are told to drink, you will drink? What if it's poison! β
Xiao Yun saw that her little face was pale, and he was a little stunned for a while, "You,"
"Didn't you say, can you drink?"
Qingchen squinted his eyes and flicked him hard: "If I let you die, you will die too?" β
Xiao Yun looked at her silently for a while, lowered his head, and said a word in a low voice.
"Huh?" Qingchen asked him distractedly, "What are you 'um'?" β
Xiao Yun sighed physically and mentally exhausted, shook his head, and pointed to the small porcelain bottle: "What the hell is this?" Are you really going to die? β
"This ......" Qingchen recognized what was in the bottle at this time, his face became a little complicated, and there was a faint humiliation.
"Nothing." She waved her hand, "Anyway, it's a useless failure, just drink it." β
After saying that, she was about to turn around, but she didn't want to be pulled back by Xiao Yun's clenched wrist.
Qingchen was worried in his heart, and he didn't pay attention, mixed garlic under his feet, and threw himself directly into his arms.
She blinked silently as the tip of her nose hit his hard chest, and then tears fell.
Xiao Yun helped the person up, and when he saw her like this, he immediately panicked.
"Oh, you, don't cry......" he scrambled to fight, bending down to check her ankle, then pulling her wrist in a circle in front of him, "twisted your foot?" Or is it somewhere? β¦β¦ Oops, I'm wrong, okay? Sister? Don't cry, I'll give it to you......"
After he was busy serving himself and ironing himself, Qingchen sat cross-legged on his bed, holding the tea he had served with one hand, and pulling out the folding fan on his waist with the other, and poked him hard in the chest.
"Don't practice martial arts in the future?" She sniffed, "It hurts." β
Xiao Yun glanced at the tip of her light red nose, took the tea cup she had drunk, and let out a 'hmm' sigh.
The two grew up together when they were young, Qingchen was one year older than him, and he was the eldest daughter in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister, who was used to being an older sister, and always felt that he had the responsibility to take care of him.
Xiao Yun usually doesn't treat her as a sister, but when she talked about the difference in her age, she felt that she was pressed by a little girl, and she was a little humiliated. But when he grew up, when he found that no matter how he provoked her, as long as he called 'sister' and sold her well, she would always be unable to resist without exception, he felt that the difference in age was actually not bad.
At least it gave him a tried and tested trick to coax people.
Qingchen rubbed his nose and asked him sullenly, "Why did you stay in Lingcheng for so long?" It's been June, and I'm back. β
"What, do you miss me?"
Qingchen looked up and thought for a while, and finally nodded really: "Don't say it, we haven't seen each other for a long time, I really think about it, hehe." β
Hee ghost, you hey, Xiao Yun glanced at her sadly, and while peeling fruit for her, he thought that he was playing the piano to the cow at all.
After a pause, he replied to her seriously: "I originally wanted to come back, but before I went out to catch up with the death of Empress Dowager Liang, I stayed at Uncle Wang's for a few more days." β
Originally, not long after he arrived in Chendu, he went out to Lingcheng, originally to ask for peace for Uncle Ning Wang, who had not seen him for a long time, but he didn't want to delay his departure until now.
"How many days?" Qingchen snorted and dismantled the stage: "It turns out that here in the little prince, 'one month' is equivalent to 'a few days'?" β
Xiao Yun shook his head with a 'hmm', "Yes, 'a few days' equals 'a month'." β
Qingchen thought about it, and his little face wrinkled: "What's the difference?" β
I don't see you for a day, like every other autumn. He thought to himself.
"It makes no difference." He said, "Fun for you." β
Qingchen half-drooped his eyelids and glanced at him neatly.
