After being misunderstood by Mingyue about a "fake pregnancy" caused by food accumulation, the queen mother never appeared in front of Mingyue again, as if she wanted to forget all about the side hall in a fit of anger.

Even the palace maid who served her, Lan, was gone.

It turned out that Mingyue was living a pig-like life of sitting ------ eating ------ sleeping, and she felt miserable because she couldn't get out of Gong and accumulated food;

Now she is living a life of not being able to sit down, unable to sleep, because no one has delivered anything, there is no food in her stomach, and she feels bitter again.

This palace is really not a good place, it is either swollen to death or starved to death.

Mingyue was so hungry that her heart was close to her back, and she simply pushed open the door of the side hall, outside the palace gate was an atrium, empty, there was no one, and she felt extremely deserted, seeing that no one stopped her, Mingyue simply walked forward in the direction of the bluestone road, and after walking a short distance, she walked into a small garden.

A seven- or eight-year-old baby is struggling to pull a paper kite to run, behind a large group of palace maids chasing behind, let the little baby run fast, the paper kite is still like a quail without wings and a bald tail, no matter how it flies, it can't fly a trace of beauty.

It was so tired that everyone was panting and pouting, as if they had collapsed.

Mingyue glanced at the scene in the garden clearing a few times, and her eyes were successfully attracted by the table in front of the clearing, and she didn't want to move away for a moment.

I saw that above the table, there were two plates of pastries to eat, yellow, yellow, green and green, which were very good-looking, and successfully lured out Mingyue's gluttony, and swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva desperately.

Seeing that no one was paying attention, Mingyue slowed down her steps and approached, one step, two steps, three steps, and finally reached the distance where she could reach out, and her hand just reached over, but was knocked down by a strong hand.

An obviously man-made but sissy voice said angrily: "Bold dog minion, dare to steal the prince's food? ”

Prince? Mingyue suddenly, it turned out that this funny person who couldn't put up the paper kite was Wei Zhixing's little nephew, the queen's own son, the crown prince of the dynasty, and the future long live the lord.

Mingyue reluctantly took her eyes off the food, and raised her eyes to look at the person who knocked down her hand, a eunuch with angry eyebrows and a pleasant command.

His shout successfully attracted everyone's attention, and even the crown prince Qi Heng walked over with contrived steps.

Qi Heng glanced at Mingyue curiously, rolled his eyes for a long time and said, "The clothes on your body are not from the palace, and they are so shabby, aren't you the little peasant girl who seduced her uncle's soul as the queen mother said?" ”

Obviously a small person, but he asked questions that didn't match his actual age, and this question was really difficult to answer.

Mingyue just stared at the little radish head that pretended to be majestic, and laughed, the laugh lines became bigger and bigger, and Qi Heng laughed so much that Qi Heng thought that there were flowers on his face, and he couldn't help touching it, and finally said impatiently: "What are you laughing at?" Aren't you afraid that this prince will punish you for the crime of disrespect? ”

Mingyue finally put away her smile and said with a serious face: "Tell His Royal Highness the Prince, the folk girl just remembered the story of Cang'er Zi that was once told by herself, so she couldn't help laughing." ”

Qi Heng's face turned red, staring at Mingyue, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

Cang'erzi's story was told to Mingyue by Wei Zhixing. That time, the two went up the mountain, encountered the grass by the river, picked it and ate it, and Wei Zhixing told an interesting story about the prince when he was a child.

Although Wei Hexing traveled abroad, he only returned to the capital during the New Year's holidays or debriefing, but it hurt his sister and the prince to the bone, the prince and the emperor, like to eat all kinds of food, Wei Zhixing everywhere he went, he would send the post to the capital quickly.

One year, because Imperial Physician He wanted to study the prescription for treating the queen mother's thirst, he asked Wei Zhixing to carry some northern folk earthwork for thirst-quenching disease for research.

At that time, the food with the prince was divided into two carts, and somehow the two carts of objects were mistaken, and the Chinese medicine for Imperial Doctor He was sent to the prince.

The prince studied a cart of things for a long time, like leaves, and fried them all, but the taste was extremely unpalatable;

In the end, there was only a bunch of little guys covered in thorns, which was very fun to watch, and the prince considered that all the leaves were very unpalatable to eat, so he asked the imperial dining room to study and eat them before bringing them up, otherwise he would be punished, so as not to waste the "good food" that his uncle had brought back thousands of miles away.

It turns out that ginger is old and spicy, and the oldest Ni Imperial Chef used the method of canning, added honey and boiled it in water for five or six hours, and finally put it in ice for two hours, which was presented to the prince's face, and the prince ate it in his mouth.

The little baby already likes to eat ice and sweet, and after eating it and praising it again and again, the "northern specialty" that my uncle got back is really "special" and "good" enough.

When Wei Zhixing returned to the capital for the festival at the end of the year, he realized that there was a big joke, that the thing that was miscooked was the "Cang Erzi" covered with thorns, but fortunately the thorns were soft and soft, and there was no toxicity, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

The most terrible thing is that Imperial Physician He received the "traditional Chinese medicine" for treating "thirst-quenching disease" in the north, which was all sweet candied fruit, sweet rods and other food, fortunately, Imperial Physician He did not have "solid eyes" like Prince Qi Heng, if Imperial Physician He used all these sweets to study and treat the Queen Mother's "thirst-quenching disease", I am afraid that it will cause a catastrophe again.

The prince pursed his lips, and after a long time, he was unhappy and said: "Uncle actually told you about this, it seems that you are really not an outsider." In that case, you don't have to be polite, and if you want to eat the pastry, you can take it yourself. ”

Mingyue was really not polite, for fear that Qi Heng's child would regret it, so he desperately stuffed a piece of pastry into his mouth to make up for the deficit in the past two days.

I choked on eating, and I poured water and drank it, but the water was put on the small tea stove, and even if I blew it, it was still so hot that Mingyue stuck out her tongue like a puppy.

The prince looked at the rough girl who was very different from the woman in the palace with a funny look, and he felt twelve points funny, and looked at the paper kite in his hand slyly, and said with a solemn face: "The mouth of the eater is short, this paper kite of the prince is ......."

Mingyue took the paper kite knowingly and said with a smile: "Don't bargain, I have nothing to do left and right, let go of the paper kite, and it is good to move my muscles and bones, lest I overeat and make trouble ...... food accumulation."

Mingyue took the paper kite, but her brows furrowed fiercely, and she muttered: "The bamboo used to make the paper kite is too thick and heavy, the skeleton is too cumbersome, this gauze is a thick oil cloth, and the weight of the whole paper kite is too great; The shape of this paper kite pays too much attention to simulation, and the wind area is too small...... Where is this paper kite, it is clearly a simulation model, but how can it fly? ”

The sissy eunuch raised her orchid fingers, pointed at Mingyue angrily and said, "The dog slave is talking nonsense." This paper kite is a paper kite made by the forging department specifically for the prince, the only one in the world, and others want to do the forging division and don't do it! ”

Mingyue looked down on this kind of psychologically distorted and pleasant eunuch the most, and smiled lightly: "My father-in-law said 'dog slave' on the left and 'dog slave' on the right, I am doing things for the prince now, if I am a real 'slave', then what is the prince?" Are you insulting the Prince? ”

The eunuch turned white, knelt on the ground with a "plop", slapped himself with a bow left and right, and said with a sad face: "The prince spares his life, the slave deserves to die, and the slave deserves to die!! The minion only saw that someone doubted the craftsmanship of the blacksmith division, so he ......"

The prince didn't even blink his eyes, still looking at Mingyue, and motioned for Mingyue to explain herself.

Mingyue no longer pestered the "dog minion", but continued to explain: "The forging department of my Great Qi Country is to cast coins and weapons, the raw materials are either bronze or iron, and it is not a department specializing in making paper kites, they pay more attention to the image and sturdiness of the paper kite, and they do not consider its weight and balance at all, so although the image of this paper kite is realistic, it is difficult to fly, just like the big white goose and the swan, the general shape is almost the same, but one can fly, and the other cannot fly." ”

Qi Heng nodded as if he didn't understand, and ordered someone to take all the tools he knew about making paper kites, and motioned for Mingyue to start working on the table.

Mingyue really took out the loyal attitude of "passing the time", and used bamboo strips as bones and light shadow white yarn as the base, only sticking the simplest diamond shape, with two long tails behind it.

In the end, Mingyue handed the brush to Qi Heng and said: "I stick, you paint, it can be regarded as a paper kite for you and me to cooperate." ”

Qi Heng had a lovely smile on his face, took the pen, and made a few simple strokes on it, and the diamond-shaped block suddenly turned into a fish-like shape, with a head, tail and fins, especially the pair of eyes, which were painted as if they jumped out of the painting with joy.

After drying the ink, Mingyue was holding the paper kite behind, Qi Heng was running in front, and the wind was good, the paper kite really flew, and it was the only vivid scene in this lonely court.

The middle-aged man who was far away in Cining Palace couldn't help but stop, pointed to the paper kite in the sky and said, "Which palace master came up with this plaything?" Do you want to get my attention? ”

The eunuch behind him looked in the direction of the palace and replied: "Long live the lord, it should be the direction of Kunning Palace." ”

A look of astonishment flashed on Qi Zhao's face and said, "It's actually the queen?" As long as it doesn't involve her and the status of the crown prince, doesn't she disdain the trick of competing for favor? If I don't go to Kunning Palace for a year, she won't even be able to remember that I am still her husband. ”

Eunuch Gao opened his mouth and did not speak.

Qi Zhao laughed at himself: "No, it shouldn't be the queen, it should be Heng'er, Heng'er is so smart, he must have figured out the reason, and he re-made a paper kite that can fly." ”

Qi Heng's paper kite can't fly, and he really blames the craftsmen of the forging division, it was the emperor who ordered it not to be made, which is also due to the fact that in the last dynasty, a prince put a paper kite in the palace, and the paper kite broke the line, and the prince chased it, and finally found that it was scraped on a tree, and he naughtily climbed the tree enough to make a paper kite, but fell from the branch and fell into a lame.

Naturally, the emperor could not be a crippled person, so the prince lost the opportunity to inherit the throne because of lameness.

Qi Zhao sighed lightly, Heng'er was less than nine years old, and he was getting smarter and smarter, but he didn't know if this matter was a good thing or a bad thing, and whether it would be staged in advance, he didn't want to lose any more children.

Qi Zhao raised his eyes and looked at the paper kite flying freely in the air, and said with a yearning in his heart: "I haven't arrived at this Kunning Palace for more than a month, go and test Heng'er's schoolwork, let's go." ”
