The mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, and the life is leisurely, which is the leisure that Rong Tang has never experienced in the capital in his life.

A group of four people set off from Suzhou, slowly and leisurely took a carriage to swing around, Rong Tang finally realized the ultimate dream of playing poker for four people, Su Huaijing couldn't help laughing when he saw his happy appearance.

Ke Hongxue grew up in Jiangnan, and knew better than anyone where to have fun and where to eat, and along the way, in the name of tourism, he took Dali Temple Shaoqing everywhere, and even when he was a child, he sat on a stone pier and watched other healthy children play games.

Anyway, with Su Huaijing here, Mu Jingxu will definitely not go back halfway; And because Rong Tang is here, Su Huaijing is of course full of hope that his little husband can have fun.

Ke Hongxue only needs to grasp Rong Tang's mind.

And Rong Xiaoshizi's mind is too easy to grasp, as long as there is play, drink and eat, but these Ke Hongxue are like a few treasures.

On August 15, the four of them returned to the small courtyard of Linyuan, the kitchen was making moon cakes, Rong Tang played for half a month, his heart was a little wild, and when he saw the cook do it, he couldn't help but be eager to try, and he started to pinch the cakes for several months. learned the tricks he saw in modern times, made a little rabbit for Su Huaijing, and a little snowman for Ke Hongxue, and then looked at Mu Jingxu for a long time, thought about it and thought about it, and pinched a little cat for him to sleep on his stomach with his tail in his arms.

Ke Hongxue was happy, and asked on the spot: "Lord Shizi, are you making moon cakes?" ”

Rong Tang is reasonable: "Flour and stuffing L, the pastries eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival, my family is called moon cakes." ”

Ke Hongxue squinted her eyes with a smile and looked at Su Huaijing: "Is that so?" ”

Su Huaijing was kneading the dough, and his tone was very indulgent and docile: "Everything in my family is Tang Tang's decision, and he can call it whatever he wants." ”

Rong Tang instantly raised his chin and raised his head, staring at Ke Hongxue with his eyes quite proudly, and said softly in his nose: "Hmph!" ”

I can't be proud.

Su Huaijing smiled at the corners of his eyes, looked at the three 'moon cakes' of different shapes, thought for a while, pinched a little fox again, and stood face to face with the snow-white rabbit.

After doing this, he thought about it again, and pinched out a smile arc as he got started.

Ke Hongxue was so sour by the two of them that she subconsciously turned around and wanted to find a senior brother to be coquettish, but saw Mu Jingxu looking at Su Huaijing gently, with a face of freshness and softness that he had never seen in many years of reunion.

Just then, the autumn breeze outside the kitchen gradually rose, Ke Hongxue looked at the three people in the kitchen who had different movements, but they were all laughing happily, and instantly lost the idea of being coquettish with Mu Jingxu.

He stared quietly for a while, Xu was the most noisy person for a long time and was silent to arouse suspicion, Mu Jingxu raised his head suspiciously, and met Ke Hongxue's eyes.

Young Master Ke was slightly stunned, and then smiled from the bottom of his heart.

That's nice.

His winter snow began to melt.

……

The strange-shaped moon cakes are very happy to pinch, put them in the pot and steam them, and when they are taken out again, they are chubby, their eyes and mouth are magnified many times, and there are cracks everywhere on their bodies, and the fillings are exposed.

Ke Hongxue smiled and bent over, sneering at Xiao Tang very viciously, Rong Xiaoshizi's face was slightly red, and he looked at Su Huaijing embarrassedly.

The latter naturally picked up the little rabbit and put it in his mouth

, chewed and swallowed slowly: "It's delicious." ”

Rong Tang was coaxed in an instant!

Ke Hongxue is talking nonsense!

Su Huaijing's evaluation is true!

He happily picked up the little fox, and was not willing to gobble it up, but broke it little by little and sent it to his mouth.

The moon is full in the sky, the autumn rises in the world, there is a pot of osmanthus brewed on the stone table in the courtyard, the courtyard is full of golden cinnamon fragrance, and the yellow persimmon hangs on the top of the tree and sways.

Su Huaijing was removing the crabs for Rong Tang on the side, he raised his head, closed his eyes slightly to feel the evening breeze on his cheeks, and muttered softly: "I don't want to go back." ”

Su Huaijing's hand to dismantle the crab meat paused slightly, and he was silent for a while.

Rong Tang didn't see his expression, he blew the L wind quietly for a while, and heard Ke Hongxue laugh and said: "If the prince thinks the capital is boring and boring, why don't you go to Lingnan next spring for a walk, and the flowers will be in full bloom and beautiful." ”

Rong Tang opened his eyes, a little moved.

Su Huaijing said: "Lingnan is very angry, and Tang Tang's body is not suitable to go there." ”

He separated the crab meat from the crab roe, put it in a small plate and put it in front of Rong Tang, then raised his eyes and looked at Mu Jingxu lightly: "Lord Mu's body, it doesn't look very good, and it's not suitable to think about it." ”

The smile on Ke Hongxue's face froze instantly, and Mu Jingxu's hand holding the chopsticks tightened.

Su Huaijing turned his head and said softly: "The medicine prescribed by the doctor is almost finished, and Tang Tang has to go back to Beijing to re-prescribe the prescription." ”

Rong Tang's face collapsed when he heard the medicine, his mouth curled, and he whispered: "I'll just tell you, my mother sent a letter the day before yesterday urging me to go back." ”

"Hmm." Su Huaijing responded, "Slow down the return journey, and you can still walk all the way." ”

Rong Tang was happy when he boarded, and his eyes crooked and smiled: "Okay! ”

"Smack" -

There are birds and finches on the top of the tree foraging, biting off half of a persimmon and smashing out a ground of pulp yellow. Rong Tang looked at the persimmon meat and said with a little pity: "I haven't eaten it yet." ”

Su Huaijing said: "Two days ago, I asked Shuangfu and them to pick a basket and put it under the eaves to dry, it is already cooked, and it will be eaten for you tomorrow." ”

Rong Tang was immediately happy, he shook his feet on the stool, secretly drank half a cup of osmanthus brew, and began to yawn before being driven back to the room to sleep by Su Huaijing.

Ke Hongxue was particularly eye-catching, and when she saw that Mu Jingxu didn't move, she understood that the two of them had something to say, so she pretended to be overwhelmed and staggered back to the room.

Su Huaijing came back after sending Rong Tang back, and saw Mu Jingxu still sitting in place, with a fat cat mooncake in front of him.

He smiled and asked, "Don't you like to eat?" ”

Mu Jingxu was puzzled: "Why did he make me a cat?" ”

It's still a cat that sleeps with its tail curled up together.

Su Huaijing: "Tang Tang may feel that you are insecure, brother. ”

Mu Jingxu raised his eyes, but his eyes were still puzzled.

Su Huaijing: "His logic is actually very easy to understand, I think you are as cold and gentle as a cat, not easy to approach but soft and cute, you will feel that this is the most suitable animal for your brother." ”

Mu Jingxu frowned and stared at the moon cake for a long time, but still couldn't understand Rong Tang's brain circuit, so he no longer tried to interpret it, but asked Su Huaijing: "You just hesitated, what are you thinking?" ”

Rong Tang casually mentioned that he didn't want to go back to Beijing,

Su Huaijing froze in place, a flash of thinking and struggle flashed in his eyes, and Mu Jingxu sat opposite and saw it clearly.

Su Huaijing smiled lightly, pushed the wine jug away, and poured two cups of tea: "I don't want to go back to Beijing for a moment." ”

Mu Jingxu's face tightened slightly, and he said softly: "You can-"

"I can't." Su Huaijing interrupted him, put the teacup in front of Mu Jingxu, and looked up at him quietly: "How many stubborn diseases do you have left in your body?" ”

Mu Jingxu was silent, Mu Shaoqing, who had always been calm, was like a child who had done something wrong and didn't know how to repent in front of Su Huaijing at this time.

Su Huaijing: "You want to say, I don't want to go back to the capital, I want to be there with you."

If you want the ending, you will achieve it for me, isn't it? ”

Mu Jingxu nodded: "It should have been up to me." ”

Su Huaijing laughed lightly: "What happened to Sheng Chengli?" ”

"I poisoned him." Mu Jingxu said softly.

Su Huaijing looked at his brother in surprise.

Mu Jingxu said: "Before I went south, my mother gave me some medicine, fake death, disguise, killing, and help...... She gave me almost everything I could think of. ”

The autumn wind surrounds the garden, and there is silence all around, except for the last season of cicadas screaming vigorously.

Su Huaijing was stunned, for the queen mother mentioned by Mu Jingxu, and for the past so many years, he was finally able to get a glimpse of the truth of the year.

"I thought she had only prepared these for me, but then I found out that she had given the Dark Guard a human-skin mask."

The first queen is not a template queen in the conventional sense of husband and child, mother and mother. On the contrary, she is smart, alert, playful, erudite, intelligent, and many admirable qualities in this world can find a shadow in her.

When he was very young, several princes in the palace were even jealous of the prince's brother.

But it is not because of his position as the crown prince, nor because of his status as a concubine, it is purely because he has a unique mother in heaven and earth.

can see a doctor, make medicines, do handicrafts, and take her son out of the palace to play, except that she can't cook, she doesn't seem to know how to do it.

And then soon, she didn't even have this shortcoming.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince learned to cook.

A gentleman is far away from cooking, let alone the heir of a country.

But the queen mother repeatedly wanted to cook, and repeatedly came out embarrassed and depressed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince felt sorry for his mother, and at the age of three, he learned to scrambled eggs with tomatoes from the imperial dining room, and with a black face, he brought a plate of dishes that were about to be out of sight of the raw materials to Fengqi Palace for his mother to eat, and he was so happy.

This leads to the harem children envying the prince's brother for having a particularly cool mother-in-law, and the harem concubines envy the queen's mother for having a particularly caring son.

But later everyone found out that although the queen was free from casualness, she was equally good to every child, and she didn't forget to prepare a copy for other princes and princesses with everything she had.

There is even a little master who is not good at studying, and is not allowed to eat by the mother concubine, crying and crying aggrievedly and running to Fengqi Palace, the queen mother will immediately prepare a table of good dishes for her, and she has to let the other party's little belly eat round, and then let the eunuchs and maids in the palace take them out to play around and eat.

If the concubine couldn't bear to look for her children, the queen would find the handouts in the national prison and hand them over, and tell her, "You can memorize this, wait for you."

memorized, and then laughed at your son L/daughter L, who was not as smart as you when she was young, and was ashamed to see if they didn't study well. ”

Concubine: "? ”

The princess: "?? ”

It's amazing, she backstabs people everywhere.

But no one hated her.

Before Mu Jingxu went south, he went to Fengqi Palace, and the playful queen mother sat under the lamp reading an ancient book, and when she saw him coming, she smiled shallowly, and she was as gentle as a goddess in the sky.

She handed the medicine to Mu Jingxu in the same way, and repeatedly explained how to use each medicine, never use it wrongly, and don't use it blindly until it is absolutely necessary, and earnestly advised her for a long time.

The young third prince looked fixedly, and the queen's plain white and delicate hands slipped up countless bubbles.

The people of the world want the royal family to quell the rebellion and incursion, and the officials want the prince to lead by example, but the queen only wants his children to live in peace.

Mu Jingxu didn't dare to ask her how much she had prepared, and they had been refined without sleep for a few days, he only kowtowed, and said respectfully: "The queen mother must take care of the phoenix body." ”

He didn't even dare to say that he would come back to fulfill his filial piety.

He dared to ask his younger brother to come back and take him to catch rabbits, but he knew that this was a bad luck.

Mu Jingxu didn't plan to use those medicines, he was a prince, he had enjoyed many years of honor, and he deserved to die for the world. But on the night that Lu Junxian was about to do it, the embroidered guard took it upon himself for the first time to knock out the master with his backhand, secretly sent him out, and replaced him with a disguised secret guard in the tent waiting for the traitor to come in.

can't hide, it's not just Lu Junxian.

At that time, Dayu was full of disasters, and the armies that went south to quell the rebellion were all improvised.

Your Majesty still has no spare strength to protect the national capital, where did so many well-trained soldiers come from to take away the third prince?

It wasn't until everything was a foregone conclusion that Mu Jingxu saw the head of the rebel army on the banner from afar, and he didn't know what was going on.

Then he could not die again.

He has to go back to the capital, and he still has a lot to do.

……

The autumn wind rustles the leaves in the yard.

Mu Jingxu said slowly: "Sheng Chengli found me by himself, said that he wanted to take the heir, and asked me if I could help him." I asked him what he could give me, and he said his life. ”

It was a very ambitious teenager, and Mu Jingxu knew this fact at the first glance when he saw him.

Ke Hongxue thought he didn't know, but Mu Jingxu had faced the deepest and most powerful betrayal, how could he not see it, he just had to pretend that he couldn't see it.

"So I poisoned him and agreed on an antidote once a month." Mu Jingxu said lightly, without the appearance of Rong Tang's memory that he was covered in white without blood.

Su Huaijing was stunned for a moment, his hand hanging by his side, unconsciously clenched.

His brother shouldn't be like this, he is clearly as wide as the breeze and the moon.

Su Huaijing slowed down and asked, "Then what did you tell Ke Hongxue?" ”

Mu Jingxu frowned slightly, and said: "I told him that I want to choose the master for the world, those princes in the palace, only Sheng Chengli can be used by me, his temperament is not bad, maybe he can be adjusted." ”

Su Huaijing: "He believed? ”

"I don't know." Mu Jingxu shook his head, his expression revealing a little confusion: "I can't figure him out." ”

Ke Hongxue has his own set of rules for dealing with the world, and it can't be said that it is contrary to Mu Jingxu, but he just can't understand Ke Hanying.

Just like he still doesn't know how Ke Hongxue recognized him in Linyuan Academy back then, and why he is so sure that he must be an old man.

"Brother." Su Huaijing called him, Mu Jingxu looked over, and heard him ask, "So what do you think?" Do you really want to cultivate a Ming Jun for the world? ”

The fragrance of cinnamon and persimmon wafts through the courtyard, and it is very strong.

Mu Jingxu was speechless for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "Who do you think can be a Ming monarch in that palace now?" ”

The two looked at each other for a long time, Su Huaijing was silent for a long time, lowered his head and smiled: "No wonder you don't want to admit it." ”

They are all people who crawled out of hell, they all walked the road on the tip of a knife, and if they were not careful, they would be crushed and die without a place to bury, how could the elder brother pull someone to bury him?

"As long as Uncle Ke is alive, as long as Uncle Ke still controls the economy of Jiangnan, no matter which emperor sits on the throne, Ke Hongxue has a natural gold medal to avoid death, how can you let him accompany you on the adventure?" Su Huaijing smiled lightly, shook his head, and sighed: "Brother, like Tang Tang, you can't see your heart clearly. ”

In other words, I actually saw it clearly, but I didn't want to admit it!
