Chapter 72 Ginseng Fruit
"Xiao Lizi, is there any progress on the matter that His Highness asked you to check about Miss Yuxiang?" Prince Murong Xuan, who was practicing calligraphy, put down the brush in his hand and suddenly asked.
"This ......" If Murong Xuan didn't mention it, Xiao Lizi would almost forget about it. Originally, the prince would rashly leave the palace without permission because of this Qinglou woman, resulting in punishment, but he didn't expect the prince to still miss this woman, which really made Xiao Lizi a little speechless.
"How to swallow and spit out, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, and there is something else to hide with His Royal Highness!" Seeing this, Murong Xuan unconsciously reprimanded.
"Yes, Your Highness, the slave thinks that the reason why you were punished by the emperor to Xishan Temple this time is because of that Yuxiang girl, but now you still miss her, and the slave feels that it is really not worth it." Xiao Lizi couldn't help but say what was in his heart.
"Little Plum!" Xiao Lizi's words just hit Murong Xuan's sore spot, he couldn't help but stand up, walked to the door with vermilion paint, and sighed and said: "Although His Royal Highness is the crown prince, he can't even control his own happiness, so if you say this, Your Highness would rather be born in a commoner's family, at least you can choose the woman you like as you like, rather than being useless like now." ”
"Your Highness, how can you think that?" Xiao Lizi was startled, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, do you know how many people envy your status, how can you be willing to fall for a woman and go astray, do you know that you are the hope of our Xiyan Kingdom, the future prince, your heart can accommodate not only the personal feelings of your children, but also thousands of people and subjects." ”
"Hey, it's just that my father and mother have been talking to His Royal Highness all day long, but I didn't expect you to understand His Royal Highness's true intentions, it seems that His Royal Highness really misjudged you." Murong Xuan looked down at Xiao Lizi, and felt that his heart sank a little bit, and he felt that he seemed to be even more incomprehensible to this world, even the most heartfelt slave on weekdays became a little strange at this moment.
"Your Highness, how can Xiao Lizi not understand the pain in your heart, but the slave still advises Your Highness not to live up to the expectations of the emperor and the queen because of a woman in a green building." After Xiao Lizi was punished by the queen, he knew from the bottom of his heart that he was just a slave, since he was a slave, he had to do what a slave should do, and he couldn't let the prince go astray and not know how to return.
"Xiao Lizi, did you see that Your Highness was punished and you also gloated, now it's good, even you dare to teach Your Highness a lesson!" Murong Xuan was very irritable now, he didn't want to reprimand Xiao Lizi, he just used it to vent his sulkness.
He knew that he was now far away from the court, and when he came to Xishan Temple, a place where birds don't, not to mention, even some of his prince's powers couldn't be exercised at the moment, what was the difference between this and abandoning him, his father clearly wanted to give him a dismount, so that he could taste the loss of imperial power.
"Your Highness, the slave doesn't dare, how dare the slave reprimand His Royal Highness the Prince, and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for your understanding!" When Xiao Li Zi heard Murong Xuan say this, he was shocked to realize whether he had crossed the thunder pool.
There is a saying that "a companion is like a tiger", although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not the monarch of Xiyan Kingdom for the time being, Xiao Lizi has already sensed this uneasy state of mind one step in advance.
"Okay, don't mention these unhappy things again, if you really have the heart, why don't you accompany Prince Ben to go outside!" Murong Xuan was about to walk out of the door as he spoke, but Xiao Lizi hurriedly got up and followed out.
After a few days of rain, the air in this Xishan Temple seems to have become fresher, and the trees and flowers seem to have been changed into new clothes under the sunlight, which looks particularly luxuriant.
Murong Xuan took a breath of fresh air in the air, and the irritability in his heart seemed to begin to dissipate little by little, and he couldn't help asking, "Little Lizi, how long has it been since His Royal Highness came here?" ”
"Back to Your Highness, it's been almost half a month." Seeing this, Xiao Lizi replied.
"Well, I didn't expect His Highness to be in the house for half a month, hey." Murong Xuan couldn't help but sigh, looking at the weather so good, compared to his state these days, he suddenly felt like he had wasted his years.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old man is polite!" At this time, Master Wuxiang walked in from the mountain gate, and when he saw Murong Xuan, he unconsciously stepped forward and saluted.
"You're welcome, Abbot!" Murong Xuan replied, and then saw a young monk behind Master Wuxiang holding a basket of things in his hand, and asked curiously, "I don't know what this monk's basket contains?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, these are some fresh fruits that I ordered someone to pick from the front mountain, I wanted to send them to His Highness in person, but I didn't want to meet His Highness here." The phaseless mage couldn't help but smile, and made another random gesture.
"I see, His Highness has thanked me here." Then, Murong Xuan ordered Xiao Lizi to quickly take the basket, and then he personally opened the cover on the basket, but at a glance, he was stunned by the fruit in the basket, so he couldn't help asking: "Abbot, what kind of fruit is this, His Highness hasn't seen it?" ”
"This is the ginseng fruit, male and female, is a specialty of our Xishan Temple, usually only bears fruit once in fifteen years, because the quantity is limited, so even the old man is difficult to eat, but the prince is a man of destiny, he has his own blessings, and he happened to meet the ripening season of the ginseng fruit."
Seeing Master Wuxiang say this, Prince Murong Xuan's heart couldn't help but light up, and suddenly the unpleasantness of these days was swept away, and he said in surprise: "There is such a strange fruit, then His Highness must taste it!" Saying that, Murong Xuan couldn't help but take a ginseng fruit and wipe it, then nodded and exclaimed: "Well, it is really a strange fruit, the taste lingers in the mouth, and the aftertaste is deep, it is indeed a taste that His Highness has never tasted." ”
After a while, the ginseng fruit quickly went down, Murong Xuan couldn't help but pick up another ginseng fruit, and was about to send it to his mouth, when he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Such a precious fruit, how can this prince enjoy it alone, Xiao Lizi, you order this remaining fruit to be whipped quickly and sent to the palace, and ask the father and the queen mother to share it." ”
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Seeing Xiao Lizi leaving with the basket, Master Wuxiang couldn't help but admire: "The prince is really benevolent and filial, and the old man has spared the blessings of the emperor and queen." ”
"Abbot, you have praised falsely, this prince is now an unfilial son in the eyes of his father, where is he worthy of the praise of the abbot, His Royal Highness is really ashamed." Hearing Master Wuxiang's words, Murong Xuan didn't feel ashamed, knowing that he couldn't afford it.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not be discouraged, the old man thinks that the current saint just wants to hone and hone the prince more, I hope that the prince can be worthy of the great responsibility, and the prince must not be wrong."
Maybe it was the words of the Wuxiang Mage that made Murong Xuan's heart move, he seemed to feel that his father might not be targeting him, maybe he was so angry that it was really as if the Wuxiang Mage said that it was not impossible, thinking of this, Murong Xuan's gloomy mood was like a ray of sunny sky, and suddenly brightened.
"It's really a matter of listening to your words, it's better than reading for ten years, thank you Abbot for mentioning it, Your Highness understands it!" I have long heard that Master Wuxiang is a person of great wisdom, and today Murong Xuan can be regarded as truly knowledgeable.
"The poor monk is just a few words, it is said that the prince's understanding is high, and he can understand it at one point, it is really a blessing for the country, but it is just ......" Master Wuxiang looked at Murong Xuan, as if he wanted to stop talking.
"Just what?" This Murong Xuan was praised by this phaseless mage in the front, and he didn't feel better, but when he saw that he wanted to talk and stopped talking later, he didn't feel puzzled.
"The poor monk doesn't know whether to say this or not, so the prince still doesn't want to ask again." Master Wuxiang didn't seem to want to say too much, he knew that although the prince had a good understanding, his heart was easy to get entangled, and it could be broken from his infatuation with a Qinglou woman.
"Abbot, but it's okay to say it, if you don't say it, this prince thinks it's a matter of his heart, but he is uneasy!" Seeing this, Murong Xuan persuaded.
"Actually, it's nothing, the prince doesn't have to take it to heart. The poor monk just saw through the prince's face, vaguely saw that there was a black mist entanglement between His Royal Highness's eyebrows, thinking that the prince would not be too smooth recently, but the poor monk thought that as long as the prince could cultivate his mind and cultivate his temperament, he would be able to see the moon with a normal heart. Master Wuxiang admonished.
"Indeed, His Royal Highness is not going well now, the abbot is right, since His Royal Highness has come to Xishan Temple, he should cultivate his mind and cultivate his nature, and His Royal Highness has to teach."
Seeing the prince say this, Master Wuxiang couldn't help but feel relieved for the queen's mother, and the queen also sent someone to bring a letter before, telling how the prince was angry and unruly, hoping that he could admonish the prince well.
But in his opinion, the prince is a person who can be carved well, as long as it takes time, and will live up to expectations, but the prince's mind is too simple, and too young and impetuous, if there is no persuasion from a virtuous person, I am afraid that it is not easy to succeed at the same time, and it is easy to cause trouble for no reason.
However, these phaseless mages did not say it directly, the so-called point is so far, he can only do this, and it will not help if he says too much, as for how the prince will cultivate himself, it is another matter.
"Prince, the slave has been sent to the palace according to your instructions, you can rest assured, presumably the queen mother and the emperor will be relieved to know the hard work of His Royal Highness the prince." Xiao Lizi had already returned at this time, and he stepped forward and bowed down and said.
"That's great!" Murong Xuan nodded, and then asked hopefully: "Abbot, may I ask where the ginseng fruit is, this prince is very curious, and he doesn't want to go to the mother tree to find out." ”
"It's right in front of the mountain, the old man can take the prince there!"
"No!" Murong Xuan hurriedly refused, and then said: "The abbot only needs to tell the location of this prince, and this prince and his attendants will go directly to the past." ”
"This ......"
