After that, there was silence again.

Wen Qingwu didn't care much.

Li Zhi couldn't help it, looked at Wen Qingwu cautiously, and said slowly, "Why don't you ...... How many more altars should we make? ”

The movements in Wen Qingwu's hand slowed down, and he turned his head to look at Li Zhi, "Why do you do so much." Do you like to drink? ”

In fact, he rarely drank alcohol. But hearing Wen Qingwu's words, Li Zhi nodded in a daze, and then responded, "Yes, I like it." ”

If you like it, let the slave maid make a few more altars.

Wen Qingwu hesitated slightly, "My hand is a little inconvenient. ”

"I'll help you." Li Zhi saw that Wen Qingwu did not explicitly refuse, and knew that there was room for negotiation, "I will do all the difficult and troublesome things, you can just mix wine next to you." ”

Wen Qingwu didn't respond immediately, looking at the wine jar in his hand.

In fact, she only brewed this jar of wine, and she didn't have much interest in spending time making these things.

I heard Li Zhi next to him say, "Make a few more altars." Please, Mei Niang. He said, his voice softened, with a flattering plea, "Much, I'll turn around and bury myself under the cherry blossom tree outside my temple." ”

Although Li Zhi has grown taller than Wen Qingwu, he is still just a child in Wen Qingwu's heart.

"It is said that the more this wine is made, the more mellow the wine tastes. Let's bury it under that cherry tree for a few more years, and when the time comes, we will dig it out, and it will be very mellow. He likes to use "we" instead of "me" and "you" when talking to her.

We.

Where would Wen Qingwu notice such a seemingly unintentional nickname, and she didn't have so much calculation and vigilance with Li Zhi. So I won't analyze it word by word. When he heard this, he looked at him.

Silence.

Li Zhi thought that she had discovered her own careful thoughts, or such small actions. Some embarrassment. I didn't know what to say for a while. Just look at her.

But Wen Qingwu was thinking about something else in his heart.

She looked at Li Zhi.

He is getting better and better-looking, and his warm temperament is becoming more and more similar to Li Ke. She could think that if he could live to the age of leaving the cabinet, he would be the concubine of Emperor Joan of Arc. He must have been extremely favored.

Stay in Kyoto, and then crown him an idle prince.

This kind of idleness is not the same as Li Ke's idleness. It's real idleness. will give him the best thing that Emperor Joan of Arc can give in the world. He will also have a carefree rest of his life, and there will be ups and downs or poetic hatreds.

There will be their beloved women who will start a family, and there will even be opportunities for other princes to have the impossible opportunity to see all the great rivers and mountains of Tianzhou, and walk through every stream on the map to feel the freedom of wandering between heaven and earth.

This is a real freedom that no one in the royal family can get in his lifetime.

As long as he wants.

He will get all he wants in life. Even power.

As long as it's not the throne.

But he doesn't seem to covet the throne either.

Wen Qingwu suddenly felt a kind of regret.

It's just a pity that he didn't have such an opportunity.

It was not long after the crown prince Zao Fan died in the palace.

Thinking about Li Ke's relationship with him again, Li Ke also began to participate in the succession after his death.

looked at the boy in front of him, he hadn't left the cabinet yet, and he was still childish. The nickname is a childish slave, but it is very in line with his character and his life.

Childish slaves.

"Okay." Wen Qingwu responded, "If you want to brew a few more jars, just brew it." "It's as if she was good to Li Ke for him.

Just as he was infinitely worried in his heart, he heard Wen Qingwu's response. Li Zhi felt as if he was floating up for a moment, and looked at Wen Qingwu in disbelief, "What did you say?" You answered?! ”

"Hmm." Wen Qingwu turned her head, and her tone was that Li Zhi rarely felt tenderness from her. "If you want, let's make a few more jars. Buried under the cherry blossom tree outside your side hall. ”

When you think about it later, dig it out and eat it. Her voice was slow, gurgling like spring water in the sun, flowing into Li Zhi's heart.

Iron him warm.

He found that he liked her "we" more than saying "we" himself.

"Good!" He responded happily, and stepped forward very actively to take over the jar in Wen Qingwu's hand and began to help.

Wen Qingwu looked at the happy Li Zhi and did not stop him. How long can we have such happy days?

The sake is buried under the cherry blossom trees, and it will only melt into the dirt by time. The beauty of the past is also contained in it, covered with sealed sand. Then it was swept away without a trace in the torrent of years.

After a few years, things have long been wrong, and the vicissitudes of life have not been seen.

Wen Qingwu and Li Zhi started to make wine, and as soon as they made it, they made three jars of wine. A jar was handed over to Merlin, and the slave and maid who buried the wine put their names on it and took it away. The remaining two altars were happily handed by Li Zhi to the slave behind him.

Li Lizhi was standing behind Chengyang and his son and watching the two of them make wine, but it didn't take long for them to finish.

After a while, all the little masters present were almost finished.

The only place is that I still make plum wine seriously.

At first, I thought it was Wen Qingwu's slow hand, so I didn't say much. But when everyone was done and Li Lizhi looked at it carefully, she found that Wen Qingwu and Li Zhi had made a jar.

I made three jars of wine before and after.

Two altars have been made, and the last altar is made by two people at the same time. The winter wind blew, and her throat was a little itchy, and she coughed with a handkerchief.

The more you cough, the worse it gets.

The maid next to her stepped forward with the medicine and put it in her mouth. The medicine in the mouth has melted, and the last jar of wine for Wen Qingwu and Li Zhi is ready.

Everything was seen by Li Liqing.

But nothing was said from beginning to end.

After finishing the wine, Wen Qingwu estimated that it was almost over, so he got up and said goodbye to a few people, "Your Highness, it's not too early, I should go back too." ”

After she finished speaking to Li Zhi, she saluted Changle and Chengyang again.

Gao Yang finished making wine on the side, and waited for Wen Qingwu to finish it quickly and then play with him.

In fact, others don't understand that Gao Yang is waiting for Wen Qingwu to play with her, what can people like Wen Qingwu play with her? Playing chess or painting and calligraphy?

These are all extremely intolerant of Gao Yang.

But Gao Yang felt that Wen Qingwu had something to do with him. Seeing that she was about to leave as soon as she finished making wine, she couldn't help but ask, "What are you going to do when you go back?" Wait a minute! ”

Isn't it more fun here than my father's? ”

"I am the only big palace maid by Your Majesty's side." Wen Qingwu said, looked at Gao Yang and explained, "Now that I have been out for so long, there is no palace maid by Your Majesty's side. ”

"There are no palace maids, but there are still a bunch of slaves and maids!" Gao Yang was unwilling, "It's not that I can't leave you!" There are a lot of people around my father, so you can stay. ”

Wen Qingwu has never been soft-eared, what she wants to do and what she doesn't want to do, as long as she decides, whether others speak softly, or she knows how to be emotional and reasonable, she can't be shaken.

Hearing this, he didn't want to think about it, so he said, "The princess said something wrong." A slave is a slave, but as long as I am a palace maid, I should do what I should do. As he spoke, he didn't wait for Gao Yang to say more, he squatted down and saluted her, then turned around and saluted Changle a few times, turned around and left.

Gao Yang was a little angry, and snorted at Wen Qingwu's back, "It's not interesting!" "What a wooden man.

The sisters tolerate her and treat her well, but they don't play with her or anything. One is more regular than the other. Finally, there is such a person as Wen Qingwu who can speak, but it is even more difficult to speak.

"Hmph, I'm going to find Ruyi to play!" Gao Yang got up and shook off the big and walked towards Merlin's outside. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and remind Changle loudly, "Fifth sister, you promised me the little monk scriptures, don't forget them!" ”

Changle responded, holding the handkerchief and coughing again.

But after all, I have only used the medicine, so I won't cough out of breath. After only a few coughs, he stopped. Her eyes still fell on Li Zhi, looking at him without looking at Wen Qingwu's back walking away.

My heart sank slightly.

The sisters had finished their wine and prepared to go back to the feast.

Li Zhi walked forward, but was stopped by Changle, "Childish slave." ”

Hearing the person behind him shouting to himself, Wen Qingwu stopped and turned his head to look at Li Lizhen behind him.

"What's the matter, Fifth Sister." When Changle stepped forward, Li Zhi asked out loud.

"No, I just want to go with you." Li Lizhi said, stepped forward and grabbed Li Zhi's arm, very close.

He and her are sisters and brothers of the same mother, and they are a little closer than the brothers and sisters next to them.

Li Zhi supported Changle's body and walked with her.

He walked quickly, thinking that he could see Merlin earlier in the banquet room.

It's just that Changle's steps are slow, so slow that every step seems to be firmly on the snow, and then he raises his other foot.

Helpless, Li Zhi could only slow down. Follow Li Lizhi together.

Li Lizhi walked while turning her head to look at the plum blossoms on the left and right.

"How's your wine going today?" In the silence, Li Lizhi suddenly asked.

In the quiet snow, he suddenly heard Li Li's question, Li Zhi nodded, "It's okay." Saying that, he turned his head to look at Li Liqing, "Why did the fifth sister suddenly ask this?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just a casual ask." Li Lizhi said, and looked at Li Zhi again, "How many jars have you brewed today?" ”

When the words fell, Li Zhi suddenly understood what Li Lizhi meant. The fifth sister saw what he did with Mei Niang later. That is to see the last two jars of wine he took away.

The fifth sister has always been very smart.

Li Zhi suddenly felt a little weak.

After thinking about it, he replied, "Originally, I only brewed a jar for the plum blossom banquet for the next year." When I was doing it with Mei Niang, I thought that the third brother was far away in Longnan, and this year's plum blossom banquet couldn't come, so I couldn't make wine. I gave him a little more. ”

A little, but not a jar.

"The third brother didn't come, you can brew one more jar. How do you make two jars? Li Li asked, looking at Li Zhi seriously.

"Just thinking, thinking...... Brew one more jar and bury it somewhere else. Li Zhi was a little hesitant at first, and the lie was usually said smoothly, "I heard that this wine is more and more delicious, so I thought about making more jars." After a few years, I will eat it to see if it is really more fragrant. ”

Li Lizhi listened to Li Zhi's explanation and was noncommittal.

There was no response, so it was quiet again for a while.

After a while, Li Li asked again, "Have you smelled the jar we brewed for my father?" She shifted to something else.

"How?" Li Zhi couldn't keep up with Changle's thoughts.

"How's the wine?" Li Li asked.

Every year at the plum blossom feast, they have to make wine, but among them, they have to brew a different jar for their father together. The materials and everything are naturally the best.

The plum blossom wine is naturally the most mellow.

The wine next to it must not be compared.

Li Zhi nodded, "It's quite fragrant." He replied unequivocally.

"It's very fragrant." Li Lizhi nodded in response, and then asked, "If you are gluttonous and smell the aroma of wine in the jar, will you drink it?" ”

Li Zhi was surprised, "How could the fifth sister ask me such a thing?" He looked at Li Liqing, and wondered why she asked such a question, it was wine dedicated to his father, and he couldn't drink it no matter how greedy he was.

"Yes, that's my father's stuff, and you can't eat it even if you're greedy." Li Lizhi held Li Zhi's hand, walked slowly, coughed twice as she spoke, and only after she eased up, did she speak again, "Child, you understand." How can the father's things be moved? ”

"That's it." Li Zhi responded, gently patted Li Lizhi's back, and said worriedly, "Why is the cough disease of the fifth sister getting more and more serious, what did the imperial doctor say?" ”

"It's just that winter is coming, and it hasn't worsened." Li Lizhi took a breath, then reached out and grabbed Li Zhi's hands that were patting her back, "Childish slave, you are a good boy, the fifth sister said this, you should be able to understand." ”

"You can get almost everything in the world if you want to. But you have to understand that these are all given by the father. If your father doesn't give you something, you can't touch it. ”

Li Zhi didn't understand what Li Lizhi meant, but when she heard her last sentence, she couldn't help but sink slightly, pursed her lips and didn't answer.

"It's like that jar of plum blossom wine, no matter how fragrant it is, but you know it's not yours, you can't touch it." Li Lizhi instructed again, bitterly speaking.

"What the fifth sister said, I don't understand." Li Zhi took Li Li's words, then helped her, and interrupted when she was about to speak again, "Let's go, Fifth Sister, don't delay, there has to be a banquet over there." ”

Li Lizhi looked at Li Zhi, who avoided talking and did not admit it, helpless and a little angry.

But when you think about it, it's hard to talk about it, at least. It shows that he may also know the sense of proportion in his heart.

Li Lizhi looked at Li Zhi's appearance, and she must not be impatient with her to say more, so she didn't say anything more, and followed Li Zhi back to the banquet open. I just put a little more thought into it, and I kept a little heart on it.

And Wen Qingwu, who left early, did not return to the open ground. Before he could get to the road, he was stopped by someone standing under the plum tree.

"Wen Cairen."

Wen Qingwu stopped and looked at the place where the voice came out.

Only then did I find that there was a chamberlain standing under the tree, wearing gray-yellow palace clothes, which were the color of the soil and the trunk of the tree.

It was the garment that the gardeners of the palace often wore.

That person was none other than the gardener Shen Yao.
