Your Majesty, he is as beautiful as a flower

Wu Fangxue personally made some pastries, which were originally sent to Cheng Wanqiao's mansion, but Zhang Bo said that His Highness Fifth Prince had moved to Yixiang mansion, so she came directly to Yixiang mansion.

The Qin Garden in Yixiang Mansion is the place where the gods live, so Wu Fangxue naturally didn't dare to go in and disturb her, so she waited at the door and sent someone to send a letter.

When Cheng Wanqiao came out, she handed him the food box containing the cakes, "Your Highness, I have prepared some cakes, you can try them."

Cheng Wanqiao felt that it would be too troublesome to deliver pastries from Shang Shu Ling's Mansion to Yixiang Mansion, he said: "I can eat pastries anytime, you don't have to travel so far to bring them here."

Wu Fangxue said: "I made these cakes with my own hands. If His Highness likes them, it's worth running far."

Although Cheng Wanqiao didn't understand women's thoughts very well, but Wu Fangxue has achieved this level, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb, "Miss Wu, it might be better to give the cakes you made by yourself to others."

Wu Fangxue held the handkerchief with both hands, but she is not a delicate boudoir daughter, she will cry when she is rejected once or twice, she quickly forced a smile, "But I just want to give it to Your Highness, if His Highness If I don’t like it, I won’t do it in the future.”

Cheng Wanqiao didn't know what she meant by her words, and after thinking about it, she didn't know how to respond.

Wu Fangxue said: "It's getting late, then I won't disturb Your Highness."

Cheng Wanqiao was carrying the heavy food box, watching Wu Fangxue's sedan chair go away, he turned and entered the door, and when he reached the corridor, Yuchen walked towards him.

Yu Chen said: "Didn't you just say you want to practice swords? Why did you disappear when I came out with a change of clothes?"

Cheng Wanqiao gestured to the food box in his hand, "Someone brought something over just now, so I went out for a while."

Yuchen looked at the food box in his hand, "Eat food?"

"Well, pastry."

"Exactly, I'm hungry too." Yuchen looked at him questioningly, "Is Your Highness willing to give me something to eat?"

"How can you not be willing, if you want to eat, then eat."

Yu Chen said: "Not only do I want to eat, but I also want to watch His Highness dance sword."

When Cheng Wanqiao faced him, he could hardly say no, so he nodded, "Okay."

There is a pavilion beside the lotus pond, and outside the pavilion is an open space. Cheng Wanqiao has the habit of practicing sword every day. After moving to Yixiang Mansion, he practiced sword here.

Yuchen was sitting in a pavilion near the lotus pond, hot tea and pastries were placed on the stone table in front of him, and there were people dancing swords outside the pavilion, which was pleasing to the eye.

He only ate one piece of the cake. It tasted good, but he didn't like it.

Cheng Wanqiao stopped after practicing two sets of sword skills, put away his sword and went into the pavilion. Seeing that the plate of pastries didn't seem to be moving, he asked, "Is this pastry still to your liking?"

Yuchen put down the teacup in his hand, "I have a good appetite, but these cakes are specially given to His Highness, so I can't eat more."

"If you like it, it doesn't matter if you eat it all."

"Your Highness won't blame me?"

"will not."

"If the person who delivered the cakes knew that His Highness gave me all the cakes, she would definitely be angry."

Cheng Wanqiao said: "I treat her like a younger sister, she won't be angry because of this."

Hearing the answer she wanted, a faint smile floated on the corner of Yuchen's lips, "Then I'm relieved."

After returning to the capital, Cheng Wanqiao accompanied Yuchen every day except going to court. In this month, he took him to various places in the capital to visit mountains and rivers, some places that he had never been to before.

Cheng Wanqiao first escorted Yuchen back to Beijing, and then handed over the frontier affairs to Zhang Haishan. After the formal truce between the two countries, Zhang Haishan returned to the court.

Today happened to be the day when Zhang Haishan arrived in Beijing.

In the court hall, Cheng Yan rewarded the generals who fought this time. After the court, Cheng Wanqiao and Zhang Haishan went to the military camp on the outskirts of the city. Now that the army is returning to the court, he, as a general, should take a look. .

Originally, they wanted to go back to Yixiang Mansion before dark, but Zhang Haishan and the others said they wanted to have a drink in the barracks to celebrate their achievements. As a general, Cheng Wanqiao naturally couldn't be absent, so he stayed.

It's just that I have been thinking about Yuchen in my heart, and I am used to getting along with him day and night these days. I haven't seen him for a whole day, and I feel a little uneasy.

The celebration banquet started at night, and countless fires were lit in the barracks, lighting up the barracks in the outskirts of Beijing as if it were daytime. The soldiers sat around the fires in a circle, drinking heavily, eating meat, and laughing loudly .

The battlefield is dangerous, and if you don't pay attention, you will never come back. Now they are triumphant, and they will be able to live a stable life in the next few years, or even more than ten years. They don't have to worry about it every day, and they really should celebrate.

"Come on! Brothers! Drink! If you don't get drunk tonight, you won't return!"

"drink!"

Cheng Wanqiao had long been used to the atmosphere in the barracks. When they were at the border, after they won a battle, the soldiers would drink and revel.It's just that he has a poor capacity for alcohol and never drinks too much, and he is also the quietest one in the barracks.

Zhang Haishan came over with an open bowl as big as a palm, his front was wet with wine, and his body smelled very heavy, "Come, Your Highness! The last general Zhang Haishan respects you!"

Cheng Wanqiao picked up the cup in his hand and stood up.Zhang Haishan looked at his cup and smiled, "Your Highness, the last general will use a bowl, your cup is not enough for one mouthful."

Before Cheng Wanqiao could speak, Jiang Hanxing said, "General Zhang, Your Highness, he never drinks too much, and it's not like you don't know."

Zhang Haishan said: "In the past at the border, in the military camp, His Highness didn't drink much to stay awake and always respond to the enemy, but now in this capital, if he gets drunk, he sleeps. Are you still afraid of the enemy's surprise attack?"

Cheng Wanqiao said: "Although I'm not at the border, I have the responsibility to protect the god, and I have to go back to Yixiang Mansion tonight."

Zhang Haishan no longer insisted, and compromised: "Okay, then I will use the bowl, and Your Highness will use the cup."

Cheng Wanqiao held out the cup in his hand, touched it with him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhang Haishan gulped down the wine in the bowl like drinking water, and then turned the mouth of the bowl downwards, indicating that there was not a drop left.He stretched out the bowl, and said to the person holding the wine jar: "Come, pour the wine!"

The soldier in charge of pouring the wine came over immediately and filled his bowl.

After drinking too much wine, Zhang Haishan became more courageous, "Your Highness, although you have a poor capacity for drinking, I admire you from the bottom of my heart and respect you. If it weren't for your ability to lead troops and your resourcefulness, I wouldn't know about it." Can you come back safely!! This bowl, I respect you again!"

Cheng Wanqiao said loudly: "Everyone here is a good general. I, Daqi, won this battle not because of me alone, but because of everyone here. Without you, even if I have the supernatural power to defeat ten thousand, I would not be able to win this battle." Win! All these years, you have followed me through life and death, and you have worked hard! This cup, I should respect you all!"

Everyone present stood up one after another, holding the bowls or cups in their hands and drinking up.

After drinking, Cheng Wanqiao looked at them and said, "In the future, my Daqi's prosperity and stability will depend on everyone sitting here! I hope you will not forget your original aspirations and forge ahead!"

Then, several generals around said loudly: "I will follow His Highness to the death!"

After the call, there was an abrupt applause, "Good! Good!"

Cheng Wanqiao followed the sound and saw the third prince Cheng Jinliang walking towards him clapping his hands.

How could he come?

All the people present bowed their hands and saluted, "I have seen the Third Highness!"

Cheng Jinliang raised his sleeves with a smile, and said: "Excuse me, excuse me, I'm just here to deliver wine, not to spoil your interest, you can do whatever you want, whatever you want."

Cheng Wanqiao looked at Cheng Jinliang who had already walked over, "Why did the emperor come?"

Cheng Jinliang smiled, "Didn't you just say that I'm here to deliver the wine."

Cheng Wanqiao said: "I have thanked Brother Huang on behalf of all the soldiers."

"Why are you polite? They were born and died to protect my Daqi's country. It's only right for me to reward them with some wine." Cheng Jinliang looked Cheng Wanqiao up and down, "On weekdays in the court hall, if you don't say anything, go That station made people look like a weak scholar, but now that you have entered the military camp, it is like a different person, with your aura just now, I almost thought I had made a mistake."

Cheng Jinliang's speech sometimes made people unable to figure out what he wanted to express, and Cheng Wanqiao didn't bother to think about it, so he just regarded him as a compliment, and said modestly, "Brother Huang, I'm flattered."

"Don't be humble, you know me, I always tell the truth, you are the best among our princes, and other people probably think so."

Cheng Wanqiao said: "Don't dare to be the one, everyone has their own strengths."

Cheng Jinliang looked up at the sky, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, you are too simple. At the beginning, the father established the crown prince, but if you have the slightest thought of fighting for it, the crown prince will be yours."

Cheng Wanqiao's face immediately became serious when he heard this, "Brother Huang, you and I shouldn't discuss this matter."

Cheng Jinliang smiled, "Look at you, you and my brother are whispering, why should you be so serious."

Cheng Wanqiao still had a straight face, "There are some things that cannot be discussed publicly, and should not be discussed in private."

"Okay, okay, listen to you." Cheng Jinliang said: "I have delivered this wine, you continue to celebrate, I will not disturb."

After speaking, Cheng Jinliang left.

Cheng Wanqiao watched him leave, maybe he didn't come to deliver wine at all, what he just said was his purpose.

After Cheng Jinliang walked away, Zhang Haishan, who had just heard their conversation at the side, approached, "Your Highness, what the Third Highness said is correct, you have made great achievements in defeating the enemy, and won His Majesty's favor, as long as you have that kind of thought..."

"Why are you talking nonsense." Cheng Wanqiao interrupted him, "This matter can't be mentioned again!"

Zhang Haishan touched his nose, "The general knows his mistake."

-

Cheng Wanqiao drank seven or eight glasses of wine, his alcohol capacity was poor, and he felt a little drowsy sitting in the carriage on the way back to Yixiang Mansion.

It was Haishi when we returned to the mansion, the mansion was very quiet, the guard guarding the gate saw him reeking of alcohol, so he rushed to help him, he waved his hand and said no.

Then he asked: "Is there something strange in the mansion today?"

The guard said: "Return to Your Highness, there has never been."

Cheng Wanqiao went into the courtyard and found that the light in the main room was still on. Is Yuchen still asleep?

He said to the guard behind him: "Go down."

"Yes."

After the guards went down, Cheng Wanqiao walked towards the main room, it was windy tonight, the wind was blowing on the head, and the smell of alcohol was a little high.When he came to the door of the main room, he raised his head and wanted to knock, but after thinking about it, he still didn't knock.

Perhaps he was asleep.

He turned around and was about to go to his wing room. Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the room. Cheng Wanqiao was startled, and pushed the door very quickly to enter.

The room was filled with mist, and it carried a faint fragrance, which was the fragrance of Yuchen's body. He looked into the room, and then he froze. He saw Yuchen standing by the screen, wearing a hair-length waist With blue hair, holding a purple dress in his hand, not a single thread on his body, obviously just out of the bath.

The sound just now was nothing more than a screen falling down.

The two of them looked at each other across a large bathtub that was steaming with water mist. Cheng Wanqiao felt his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He felt that he should leave, but he couldn't move.

There was movement outside the house, and it was the guards from the mansion who heard the sound and came to check, Cheng Wanqiao hurriedly retreated as quickly as possible, closing the door behind him.

Heart, beating violently.
