"Ouch, Shizi, why did you come here so early in the morning, what should I do if I catch a cold......"

"I'm coming to see my sister."

"The county lord has returned to the palace, and we can see each other every day in the future, so you don't have to be in such a hurry."

Xiao Dong opened her eyes, she didn't remember what kind of place this was, and who was talking outside.

"Is my sister awake?"

"Not yet......"

Xiao Dong blinked and shouted softly: "Mother Hu." ”

The tent was opened, and Zhao Lu's little head poked in.

"My sister is awake."

Hu hurriedly came over and invited him away: "Lord Shizi, you go and sit outside for a while, and I will wait for the county lord to get up." ”

The maids were busy, holding basins, towels, makeup boxes, and clothes. They all wore the same braids, and wore the same short-sleeved jackets with filial piety coats.

The clothes brought to Xiaodong are also plain filial piety clothes. Hu served her and dressed her, and washed her face and combed her hair, Xiao Dong turned his face sideways and saw that the rope used to tie the braid had also been replaced with a plain blue hair rope.

Zhao Lu couldn't wait, and came in with a box like a treasure: "Sister, come, this is for you." ”

Hu asked, "What is this holding?" ”

"Good stuff."

He opened the box with a smile, and there were two round red fruits on top of the snow-white silk wool, the color was like coral, the quality was like agate, and there was a green and intoxicating fruity fragrance.

Xiao Dong didn't know what kind of fruit this was, but Hu had seen the world, and said in a lost voice: "Is this Bodhi fruit?" ”

Zhao Lu nodded: "Yes." ”

Hu Shi nodded and smacked his tongue: "I met the princess once in my early years...... Where did this come from? ”

Zhao Lu said: "The Queen Mother gave it, and it happened to be one for me and my sister." ”

Hu Shi thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Which queen mother?" ”

Xiao Dong was stunned for a moment and looked up at her.

Dowager...... How many more?

Zhao Lu said: "It's the Empress Dowager Shengde." ”

Hu nodded: "No wonder." ”

Seeing that Xiao Dong was ignorant, Zhao Lu explained: "Sister, this fruit is a tribute, called Bodhi fruit, also known as longevity fruit, fairy fruit, it is said that it only blooms and bears fruit once in 20 years, and it is born on a cliff that is difficult for people to reach, and it can only get dozens of pieces every year." It is said that eating can strengthen the body, and the woman's body can also make the face moisturized and plump, these two pieces are given by the Queen Mother, just one for each of us, I have always kept it for you. ”

Is it so amazing?

Xiao Dong was skeptical, and Hu asked again: "Shizi, does the prince know about this fruit?" ”

"Of course my father knows, on the day I gave it to me, my sister and I ate one by ourselves, and my father praised me."

This thing may not have such a miraculous effect, but it is rare and expensive.

Moreover, what is even more valuable is Zhao Lu's intentions.

"Come, sister, this is best eaten on an empty stomach. Ah, open your mouth, don't bite, don't bite. ”

Xiao Dong's face is full of black lines, and Zhao Lu is not very old, but he always pretends to be a little adult.

Of course, Xiao Dong doesn't see him as an older brother, but sees him as a cute little brother.

Zhao Lu carefully picked up a fruit and sent it to her mouth, his eyes were warm and his expression was earnest.

Xiao Dong couldn't help it, so he opened his mouth and took the fruit in whole. As soon as the tooth touched the peel, the fruit broke, and the juice poured out. Sweet and sweet with a slight sourness, the aroma is rich, and it is slightly cool, and it suddenly slides down the stomach.

Xiao Dong shuddered.

Hey? That's it?

I haven't tasted it yet, why did I get into my stomach?

Isn't this Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit?

Such a rare fruit should be tasted more in the mouth, so as not to waste the hardships of 20 years before it blossoms and bears fruit.

"Does my sister like to eat?" Zhao Lu looked at Xiao Dong's expression and took the other one in the box: "Then this sister will eat it too." ”

"Not really. Eating one is already a blessing, besides, the county lord is still young, and eating so much can also be restrained. Eat this. ”

Zhao Lu still held the fruit in front of Xiao Dong, Xiao Dong closed his mouth and shook his head violently, and then he retracted his hand: "Okay, then...... Next time, I'll give it to my sister to eat. ”

Hu asked, "Isn't the prince going to school?" ”

"Father gave me leave...... he lowered his head and said, "Aunt Qing's matter ......"

Hu Shi was stunned, and then secretly scolded himself for asking a stupid word, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, the county lord just came back, and he happened to talk to the prince in one place, the brother and sister haven't seen each other a few times, and the people in the palace don't recognize the county lord." ”

Zhao Lu nodded: "Yes, yes, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will summon her sister to the palace." He took Xiao Dong's hand and explained: "The Empress Dowager Shengde has a good temper and treats people well, so you don't have to be afraid when you see her old man." The Empress Dowager of Saint Ci ...... Whether it's a person, she just doesn't like to laugh, and the rules are big, if you go to visit her old man, the rules can't be wrong, otherwise the reprimand will be light. ”

There are really two queen mothers.

The Queen Mother is such a thing...... It's all one by common sense. If there are two, most of them will cause trouble.

Of the two queen mothers, only one should be the emperor's biological mother. Although the Queen Mother is not the emperor, she is not a "world without two days and no two lords in the country", but there are others sleeping soundly on the side of her own couch-

Xiao Dong listened carefully to what he said, but Zhao Lu didn't continue to say, only said: "The queen mother is also a very good person, Concubine Li Xian is sick and doesn't see many people." Concubine Ming's words are a lot, and she is still fragrant, and I sneezed last time......"

Hu Shi hurriedly said: "Shizi-"

Zhao Lu was afraid that she would nag, so he hurriedly said: "The others are the same generation, four princes, three princesses." ”

Hu didn't dare to let him say it again, even if Zhao Lu was clever and intelligent, he was still young after all, and he didn't know how to say some things but couldn't say some things.

Xiao Dong and Zhao Lu had breakfast together, Zhao Lu seemed to want to make up for the brother-sister relationship that he had been losing all at once, and kept saying "Sister eat this" and "Sister taste this", Hu couldn't intervene on the side.

Probably there are no children of the same age as him, and in this huge palace, it is very lonely to be a son, right?

Xiao Dong was full after only eating a little food, she didn't have much appetite, Zhao Lu felt that she had eaten too little, and wondered if the food was not palatable, and asked her if she was not used to living in the palace.

What a silly brother.

Prince An looks noble and noble, and his legacy is independent. gave birth to a son, but only looked like him, but his temperament was not at all.

"That's right," Zhao Lu clapped his hands: "Father said that a cousin and two cousins from Hedong were going to come to Beijing a few years ago, and they must live in the palace at that time, and someone will talk and play with their sister at that time." ”

Xiao Dong didn't know which relatives he was talking about, anyway, she was small, and it was nothing to talk less or even not at all.

Say less, make fewer mistakes.

Xiaodong touched his stomach, he ate too much breakfast, and it was a little up.

In other words, it is said that the Bodhi fruit, which is more expensive than a thousand gold, has no special feeling when you eat it.
