Chapter 167: Eating Red Beans, Glutinous Rice, Mochi, and Potatoes

Pillow Chun and Mu Yongyue rode slowly all the way towards the school field.

She could see that Mu Yongyue was not embarrassed to ride a horse, thinking about the rumors in the court that the king of the side by side "had exhausted his muscles and veins" and could no longer go to the battlefield, and asked: "Didn't the rumors say that you are the prince...... Can't go to war anymore? Now you can see that there is no problem with horseback riding? ”

Mu Yongyue seemed to be inadvertent, and said lazily: "Horse riding was learned at a young age, and life is long, so it doesn't hurt to learn it again." When Pillow Chun saw him speak, the palms of his neck and hands were pinched into fine sweat because the reins were too laborious. In the end, it hurts the fundamentals.

"Ben is a brave and good fighter." Pillow Chun's eyes looked at Mu Yongyue's somewhat pale lips, and he was very sorry in his heart. When she was young, she had heard the legendary story of Mu Yongyue's good fighting, a few in and out of the Miao Domain, and a mysterious and mysterious miracle. Thinking about it, I was still curious, "It is said that when the prince conquered the south, he was favored by a poisonous lady from Miao Jiang during the battle and fell in love. After several trials of life and death, nine deaths and a lifetime, he finally sought the solution of the Yunyou Immortal. I don't know, but it's true? ”

Mu Yongyue showed his usual playful smile: "How can there be any life and death Gu." The mosquitoes in southern Xinjiang were violent, biting the face of the king, and when the class teacher returned to the court, the little ladies who threw handkerchiefs on the side of the road saw it, and there was this legend. He glanced around, "What happened to you?" ”

Pillow Chun thought for a moment, took out the assassination arrow from his sleeve, and handed it to Mu Beiyi: "Can the king of the side recognize this thing?" ”

Mu Yongyue took the arrow and looked it up and down, blew the tail feathers after blowing the arrow, and said, "You mean, this arrow harms you?" ”

"We were feeding the horses by the water, and I found a long needle in the horse's hoof." Pillow Chun's eyes rolled, "I think someone must have deliberately pierced in to urge the horse to run away from the guards." At this time, several arrows came to the forest one after another to take my life, and all three arrows took my life. That's what all three arrows look like. ”

Mu Yongyue played with the fine arrow in his hand and squinted: "This arrow cluster is triangular and two inches and seven minutes long. The head is sharp, the bottom is thick, the blade is thin and sharp, and there are side grooves. The body of the arrow is two feet nine inches long, and the poplar wood is refined, and the tail of the arrow is clustered with Pengyu tail feathers. Compared with the arrows of ordinary sons, the long arrows of this kind of preparation can be seen to be slightly longer, and they are commonly used by the guards of the forbidden army. ”

Seeing that he was just gently fiddling with the long arrow, Pillow Chun said so accurately that he couldn't help but praise: "The side by side king is really born and died on the battlefield, and he is easy to use this kind of weapon system." ”

Mu Yongyue pursed his lips, looked at Pillow Chun with disgust, and pointed to a line of small words on the arrow - Forbidden Army Yiwei Arsenal.

Pillow Spring: "...... Wonderful. ”

Mu Yongyue continued: "This is very easy to find, and there are also things that are not easy to find. The tail feathers of this arrow are not messy, the body of the arrow is new, and there is no trace of blood or grass wool in the arrow. Explain that the archer has received this arrow for the first time today, and even the first time he has used it to shoot an arrow. The last time the guards of the Praetorian Army were changed was last year, how could a Praetorian Guard who practiced archery and horseback riding for months have such a new cluster of arrows? ”

"What does the king mean by side......" Pillow Chun held the reins and lowered his eyes in contemplation, "The person who shoots the arrow is not the guard of the forbidden army, but the one who stole the arrows of the guard of the forbidden army and deliberately assassinated me?" ”

Mu Yongyue smiled a little in his eyes: "You are not too stupid." He tucked the arrow into his sleeve and stared, "If you die, others will only think that the Praetorian Guards accidentally killed you while hunting." This time, there were 390 guards on the chariot, and the emperor was furious, and he couldn't find the culprit from the 390 people. ”

"In this case, there is no way to find the real culprit?"

Mu Yongyue chuckled: "You don't have it, this king naturally has, but it will take some time." ”

Pillow Chun bowed: "Then it will be hard work." Suddenly, he remembered something again, and took out the life-saving hand-sharpened wooden arrow from his sleeve, "Can the prince know this thing again?" ”

Mu Yongyue leaned over and rode on the horse, glanced sideways, and laughed out loud: "I know, I know." ”

"Why does the King laugh at me?" Pillow Chun carefully looked at the hand-sharpened arrow, which was extremely rough and even a little old, and old blood marks could be seen on the arrows. She said, "Just now this arrow flew out sideways and saved my life." ”

"It's so much fun." Mu Yongyue closed his eyes lightly.

Pillow Chun was puzzled: "The king of the side by side knows it, but let's talk about it." ”

Mu Yongyue pointed at the arrow body, and said with a salivating brow: "This is the red bean tree." ”

"What?" Pillow Chun didn't understand.

"The arrow shaft cut by red bean wood has a gray-green bark, and there are traces of the arrow clusters." Mu Yongyue raised his chin, meaning that he asked Pillow Chun to look at himself, "The wood is sturdy, and the core of the wood is slightly gray." This wood is more difficult to polish than poplar and easy to change color, so arrows are rarely made from the wood of the red bean tree. ”

Pillow Chun muttered: "Red bean tree? It's rare. ”

"Red beans are born in the south, and a few branches are sent in spring." Mu Yongyue laughed like the yellow-skinned fairy described in the book, "May you pick more, this thing is the most lovesick." Lejing is close to the north, and it will snow in winter, so there are very few trees here...... However, there are also a few trees in Lejing City. ”

"Where?" Pillow Spring asked.

"You go and look for it yourself, and you don't know anything." Mu Yongyue sneered.

Pillow Chun was indignant in his heart, gritted his silver teeth, and said: "King and Your Majesty side by side, worthy of being uncles and nephews with the same surname, are also somewhat similar. ”

As soon as Mu Yongyue heard this, he knew that it was not a good thing, and said to himself: "This king has taken him out of the East Palace to eat well before, and he knew that he could raise such a wolf cub, so it would be better to feed the dog." He should have been bitten twice by a brown bear and a tiger, and it was not bad to eat and learn. ”

"Shh Pillow Spring pointed ahead, and he could already see the walls of the Lishan Palace. She said, "Tai'an Jinlin is a royal hunting ground, how can brown bears and tigers come from." The two faces of the king side by side, the two faces in front of and behind the people, are recognized by me today. ”

Mu Yongyue reined in the horse, and he didn't send a pillow spring. He suddenly said solemnly: "You can stay since you go back, even if you bow and play polo with those old women." Don't go out and hang out alone, you need to know how many people's lives and deaths you are shouldering now. The son of a daughter can't sit down, do you know? ”

"Oh......" Pillow Chun patted the startling snow, took Feng Xian again, and went to a crowded place in a gray manner.

Mu Yongyue saw her walking away in the shade of the tree, blew a horse whistle, turned around and turned into the depths of the jungle.

When he entered the yurt, he felt some pain on his face. She looked through the bronze mirror and saw that the blood on her cheeks had scabbed. The wound was not deep, and he was about to cover it with lead powder, when he saw the curtain being lifted, and a man with a fishy smell bowed his head and came in.

"Your Majesty?!" Pillow Chun was startled, only to see Mu Beiyi covered in blood, his eyes were red, and there was meat mud on his boots. She hurriedly fetched water to wipe Mu Beiyi's face, and called Gong'e to come in and wait for a change of clothes. He personally untied his belt, brought a new undershirt over, and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?" ”

Mu Beiyi took a sip of the tea on the table, but raised his eyebrows but was full of spirit: "Or the beasts of Lishan in the back take advantage of the spring to go down the mountain, and I hunted two brown bears and a tiger today." There are also jackals, clouded leopards, golden cats and other fierce beasts. ”

“……?!” Pillow Chun knew that Mu Yongyue was just thinking about something, and he was nagging something. Sure enough, the heart, liver, kidneys, and lungs were all black.

Mu Beiyi washed his hands and looked at Zhuchun Chun's face: "Why is it hurt?" ”

Pillow Chun stretched out his hand to probe his cheek, turned his eyes and said with a light smile: "The concubine also went to hunt rabbits, but the horse was faster, so she rubbed the branches." She only shook off her clothes and said softly, "As for the concubine, she is a lazy and clumsy, even if she hunts a rabbit, she admires His Majesty's heroic martial arts." ”

Mu Beiyi leaned his neck, Ren Zhenchun tied the collar button of the Hu Fu, and he instructed: "It's good if you know it, it's okay to rest in the yurt." I see that those ladies and the ladies of the Zhuqing clan are entangled in one place and play polo, you can try it. ”

Pillow Chunxin said, why do you call me all of them. said to Mu Beiyi: "Your Majesty is the third person who asked the concubine to play polo today." ”

"Who else?"

"Su Bai...... And ...... "Pillow Spring Tilt Head Road," and Magnolia. ”

Mu Beiyi sat on the tiger skin soft couch in his robe and drank tea, fiddling with the soft little finger of the pillow spring, and took a breath with his forehead: "Then why don't you want to go?" ”

Pillow Chunwaner: "Your Majesty doesn't understand these ways of the Lejing women. The young ladies of Zhuqing are all not out of the cabinet. It is rare to have the opportunity to hunt this time, and the wives brought it here, in order to hunt with the head of the family, but in fact, to see each other's noble sons-in-law. ”

Mu Beiyi raised his eyebrows: "Look at each other? ”

"Your Majesty, think about it, what is the most in the spring hunt?"

"Lots of prey."

"......" pillow spring language knot.

Mu Beiyi bowed his head and said: "There are many young talents. Or come to see your in-laws, and you can tell whose sons are good at riding and archery, and good at martial arts? ”

“…… Exactly. Pillow Chun half sneered, twisted a silk cotton handkerchief soaked in rose dew, and stepped forward to carefully wipe the fishy smell on Mu Beiyi's hands, "But what Your Majesty said is not entirely right." Ladies naturally look at each other as young talents, but what about most of them...... His eyes are all turning with His Majesty. ”

Mu Beiyi lowered his eyebrows and looked at the handkerchief in Zhuchun Chun's hand, and twisted the pattern of embroidered stars, sun and moon with his fingertips: "What do you mean." ”

"No matter how expensive the noble son-in-law is, he can't be as expensive as the one in front of the concubine." The pillow spring skirt also shrank on the soft collapse, and took the sweet dew that dried on the case for Mu Beiyi to drink, "Hunting, Your Majesty has the most." Bravery, it is His Majesty's highest achievement. If the eyes of the ladies are not locked on His Majesty, where else will they be locked? What's more, next March will be the time for the draft again. If His Majesty is familiar with it this time, he will definitely have a better chance of being selected next time. ”

Mu Beiyi drank the nectar, pinched Pillow Chun's chin, and asked, "Then what does this have to do with your unwillingness to play polo." ”

Pillow Chun turned his head and said angrily: "Not only are the young ladies who may be selected in March next year, but they are the sisters who want to share His Majesty's favor with their concubines." The concubine's strength is not comparable to that of others, so why bother to provoke the sour taste? ”

"You're vinegar?" Mu Beiyi half-propped himself up, and his hand went to untie his belt.

Pillow Chun was shy and timid, his hands squeezed his fists, and hammered Mu Beiyi's strong chest twice: "Your Majesty don't." ”

As he was talking, he heard Feng Tang ask for instructions outside: "Your Majesty, the hunting team has returned, waiting for you to share the rewards and give them to the ministers." ”

Pillow Chun pounded his shoes and put on clothes for Mu Beiyi.

finally waited for Mu Beiyi. Standing in front of the collapse, he reached out and took the fruit from the case to eat.

It's just that I'm tired and don't want to move, I don't like to move or talk nonsense with people. Why don't you just hide from a polo club, and waste so much effort. can exhaust people, and cross their waists for a while.

Pillow Spring played lazily for a while, and then dozed off again. She simply asked Su Bai to carry a rocking chair and set it up in the grass outside the felt, she changed into her regular clothes, brought a small thin blanket, and went out to bask in the sun and sleep.

The sun was shining like a gentle hand on his face, and he felt that his cheeks were hot, and he covered his face with his sleeves. The whole person is like crossing in the glow, and there is indescribable sleepiness.

Out of the imperial city, I also feel much more comfortable, thinking that this is exactly the case, Mu Beiyi will always think about the palace.

Pillow Chun remembered that when he was young, he wanted to go out to play over the wall, stepped on the shoulder of his second brother, and peeked at the lively scenery outside the corner gate of Fuzhong. There are noisy vendors, boys who walk birds, and little ladies who sell flowers. There are also children walking the streets and the smell of pastries coming from the liquor store.

There are her favorite fried radish shredded cakes, green white rabbits, moss mille-feuille crisps, and rice candy. Of course, there is also the most fragrant and fragrant, the red bean glutinous rice mochi of Lejing Millennium Restaurant. It is held on oiled paper with flower characters printed on it, and the outside is tied with grass and rattan. A mouthful of soft and dense mouthful, sweet aroma fills the nasal cavity.

…… That's the smell.

Pillow Chun suddenly opened his eyes and saw Su Bai beside him with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maidservant waiting. When I looked up, it was already dark. She wiped her saliva with a thin blanket and propped herself up: "What time is it?" ”

Su Bai said: "Dinner is over." Your Majesty came to pass on you, Feng Tang's father-in-law said, Your Majesty's dictation: If Concubine Ming is lazy and asleep, she doesn't need to wake up. If she is hungry, she will wake up. ”

“…… Oh. Pillow Chun's face was expressionless, "Then I won't go." She said, putting on her cloak and looking at the maidservant, "Who is this?" ”

The handmaiden was slender and slowly raised her head. I saw that his eyes were bright and good, and they were very bright. It can still be seen that there is a small mole on the corner of his left cheek and mouth, and when he laughs, people can't take their eyes off it, and he is a beautiful girl. She bowed and said sweetly: "The slave is called Zen Xin, and she came to ask Concubine Ming to say goodbye to her mother on the orders of her master." As she spoke, the girl revealed a token of the palace side by side from her sleeve, "Niang Niang Wan Fu Jin'an." ”

Pillow Chun saw that she was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. With a solemn expression, he lifted the curtain of the yurt and called, "Come in." ”

Su Bai knew that there might be something important, so he hurriedly closed the curtain and guarded carefully at the door.

The maidservant girl named Zen Xin entered the felt, and only then did she take out a splendid colored cloth bag from her cuffs, and from it she felt out more than a dozen men's belts one after another.

Pillow Chun was stunned: "You...... You don't hurt me. ”

Zen heart pear vortex shallow and hurriedly said: "Concubine Ming, don't worry, these are all stolen." The master means that you should ask the mastiff beast around you to sniff it and see what it smells like. As she spoke, she took out the arrow from her sleeve that had stabbed Pillow Spring.

"Oh? Oh...... It's all stolen, so it's strange if you don't worry about it. Pillow Chun pursed his lips and immediately understood. She beckoned to the lichen in the yurt: "Feng Xian'er, come out and eat bones." ”

"Whew......" As soon as Feng Xian heard the voice, he shook his tongue and drooled, and then shook his head and came.

Pillow Chun pointed to the dozen belts lined up on the case, sniffed it for Feng Xian, and then took out the jerky from the bag. Feng Xian's eyes lit up when he saw the jerky, and he sniffed the row of belts along the pillow spring's hand. It arches left and probes right, and its claws gouge back and forth. After a while, he bit a blue belt embroidered with cloud patterns on both sides, and tore it with a fierce face.

"Don't ...... Don't bite it! Pillow Chun laboriously took off the belt, and handed it to Zen Xin with saliva, but his face was a little shy: "Ahem...... That's pretty much it. ”

Zen Xin didn't mind, put the belt into his sleeve with a big grin, took out a stack of oiled paper bags, and said obediently: "This is a gift from our master." As he spoke, he saluted and retired.

Pillow Chun's nose twitched, took the oil paper bag, and opened it to take a look. The paper bag was nothing else, it was red beans and glutinous rice mochi. When you take a bite, the sweetness melts in your mouth, soft and familiar.

For a while, I was a little homesick.

Wonderful!
