a pillow in autumn

Chapter 67 Soft Smoke Petals

When Zhou Mubai woke up, Shen Xianxun was not by her side. She stared blankly at the intricate embroidery pattern on the top of the flower tent for a while, as if trying to distinguish whether it was Xifeng or Ruijing.The scent of the slender net hair was still lingering on the pillow, Mu Bai hugged the pillow and turned over, took a long breath, and then lifted the brocade quilt and sat up.

A bunch of warm sun fell in front of the window, carrying the warm fragrance of early spring flowers, the door creaked open, Siyuan came in with a brand-new brocade robe, saw Mu Bai sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing his eyes, turned around and joked: "Here , Your husband is awake."

Shen Xianxun feigned anger and patted her: "How did you talk!"

Siyuan ran in with her brocade robe in her arms, laughing and yelling: "Guye, help me! Miss is going to beat me. My uncle has pity on me."

Zhou Mubai blinked and said, "Let Shuyao save you."

Shuyao who came in behind was startled, and immediately turned her head to stare at Siyuan, but Siyuan was not afraid, she just looked at her young lady with a blushing face.

"Aren't you two the best?" Mu Bai stretched his arms lazily.Shuyao went forward to change her shoes with her head down, Siyuan answered vaguely while holding the brocade robe.

Xian Xun couldn't help laughing at the guilty look of the two of them, and shook her head to show that she didn't say anything.Going to the bed and pinching Mu Bai's earlobe, Mu Bai leaned into her hand, squinted his eyes and yawned thinly, like a lazy cat.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was early summer, and the people in Ruijing had put on light clothes. A few young girls walked through the twelve squares in bright clothes, and the autumn kapoks planted all over the twelve squares were in bloom. A gust of wind passed, and they fell to the ground one after another.

In the busiest teahouse in the capital, the waiters were busy greeting the newly seated guests, and the kitchen at the back brought freshly made desserts, and several guest officials sipped a few sips of tea, talking happily.Most of this topic revolves around the two recent happy events of the royal family. One is that the marriage of Prince Bao Zhou Muyi has finally been settled. Ten thousand taels of silver is used as the dowry of the young daughter.

"One million taels!" A young man in white said in shock, "The Jiang family is so proud to marry their daughter."

"Why did you allow Prince Bao to marry a merchant woman when you were a royal family?" The young man in green shirt at the same table smiled and lowered his voice: "We have fought against the Tu clan for several years, how much money has been spent in the treasury, the Jiang family Speaking of donating money to the national treasury, of course His Majesty has heard the strings and knows the meaning."

"I heard that this marriage was personally secured by the Minister of the Household Department." The young man in white in front caressed his arm and lowered his voice.

The young man in blue shirt nodded with a smile.

"Xiongtai is indeed a frequent visitor to Mr. Shi Lang's house, and he knows about such things." Another son flattered with his eyes narrowed.

The young man in the blue shirt blushed, and turned the conversation to the second thing that is often discussed nowadays: "I heard that your majesty's recruitment of a son-in-law for the little princess is based on talent regardless of family background. Both brothers are one of a million You are a talented person, why don't you go and have a try." He turned his eyes, and there was a frivolous teasing in his eyes: "In the future, if you are selected, even the little brother can get the honor."

As soon as he said that, the waiter brought a few more dishes of tea, and several people clapped their fans and laughed.

The palace was not as lively as the folks. Zhou Lin had a heartache since the end of spring. The imperial doctors gathered together for consultation in fear and fear, and knelt down on the ground begging the emperor to calm down and rest.

When Zhou Mubai entered the palace to say hello, Zhou Lin was still in good spirits. He half leaned on the crouching dragon couch and talked to her for a long time. The disputes on the border came to an end. He recuperated with the army and lived with the people. Serving soldiers were rewarded and punished according to merit and fault, casualties The soldiers comforted their families and relatives according to the laws and regulations. There were many things to consider, including the expenditure of the treasury and the taxes of the state and county.

Mubai nodded and answered one by one, and the small pool outside replied at the curtain, the envoy from the imperial hospital came.After hearing this, Mubai got up to leave, walked a few steps, heard Zhou Lin coughing under his throat, and hurriedly turned back.

"Father." Mu Bai ran two steps forward and knelt beside the crouching dragon couch and patted Zhou Lin's back, only to see that Zhou Lin's temples were already half white. "Father, please take care of your body." Zhou Mubai felt pity in his heart, kowtowed on both knees, hiding the soreness in his eyes.

Zhou Lin patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to worry.

Walking out of the gate of the dormitory, the envoy of the imperial hospital waiting in front of the door saluted Prince Rui, Mu Bai gave some instructions, and seeing Xiao Chizi also waiting at the side, asked him if he knew where the prince was, Xiao Chizi replied the prince Your Highness has left the palace.Mubai stopped and thought for a while, then turned and walked towards Jinyu Palace.

The pansy outside the Jinyu Palace has just formed flower buds, and the seven-fold petals are all light in color, showing a little soft water in the sun.

For a while, Zhou Muge and Zhou Mudi were having refreshments with Zheng Xuan in Jinyu Palace, they were even more happy to see her here, and they sat together and told her some interesting stories about the palace.The eldest princess Zhou Muge's child is named Li Yun. He is more than three years old. He is just naughty. He ran after a little court lady in the bedroom, and when he saw the strange Prince Rui, the child bit his finger and his eyes widened Turning around, Mu Di beckoned him to come over, held him in his arms and kissed him.

"Just now I heard that elder brother Huang has left the palace?" Mu Bai took the emerald lotus cake that Mudi handed over, put it on his lips and took a bite, with a satisfied smile on his face, licked his mouth and praised: "The one in the mother's harem Desserts are really exquisite.”

"Sister Huang and I ordered the imperial chef to prepare it and brought it here!" Mudi grabbed Li Yun's hand and waved his small fist, seeing that Mubai's face was covered with cake crumbs, he raised his chin.

Muge also saw it, smiled and handed Zhang Sipa over.Mu Bai finished the small piece of shortbread, took the handkerchief to thank him, and wiped the corner of his mouth.

"Two days ago, Qiongzhou State Herds sent a report that the oilseed flowers in all counties had a good harvest, but there were many grub disasters in the fields, and one farmer was happy and the other was good. That was the implementation of the New Deal that you watched growing up, your father. I wanted you to go and have a look, but your elder brother said that you have just returned to Beijing from a long distance, and he asked you to rest for a few days, so he went for you."

"Brother Huang just returned to Beijing, not a few days earlier than me." Zhou Mubai blinked, thought for a moment and then approached the Queen seriously, and said: "Brother Huang must be partial to me and asked me to stay in Beijing for more time. Accompany mother."

Zheng Xuan patted her arm with a smile, Zhou Mudi scratched his face with his fingertips, and said narrowly, "Shame."

The child in his arms also imitated his aunt and shaved his own face with his fingers, and followed suit in a childish voice: "Shame!" The little maid who was serving next to her laughed when she heard it.

Seeing the few of them gathering together, Zheng Xuan was delighted, and asked Lu'an to order the small kitchen to make more dishes they liked, and save all of them for lunch before leaving.

Both Mubai and her sisters thanked Muge with a smile, and Zheng Xuan asked Muge again, is the son-in-law in the palace?Mu Ge replied, in Fuyan Residence, Jingzhou sent an urgent letter, Duke Jing's old illness had relapsed, and his condition was quite serious, his father had ordered his son-in-law to go back to serve in Jingzhou.Right now, I'm packing my bags at Fuyan Residence.

Zheng Xuan nodded, that's all.

After leaving Jinyu Palace and returning to Prince Rui's Mansion, it was the hottest time in the afternoon, even though it was early summer, the sun was already slanting on people's skin like a stream of fire.Several personal guards of the palace escorted Prince Rui back to the gate of the palace, Zhou Mubai jumped off the horse, the brocade clothes on his back were already drenched with thin sweat.She threw the horse bridle in her hand to the little official in front of the door, and walked straight to the backyard of the palace.The maids and women all bowed to salute when they saw it from a distance, Mu Bai walked around the corridor to the bedroom, Shuyao happened to be standing in the corridor, holding a roll of sunflower seeds and talking to a cockatoo.

"Is there water in the bath?" Zhou Mubai wiped the sweat from his forehead while walking.

"Yes. Water is always prepared in summer." Shu Yao stuffed the sunflower seeds into the hands of a little girl, and followed quickly.

Walking to the door of the side hall, Zhou Mubai said: "You stay here for a while, you don't have to follow me to serve you." After saying that, he pushed open the door of the hall and walked in alone.

Shuyao had long been familiar with her habits, so she waited quietly outside the door.

"Why are you here?" Siyuan turned out from nowhere, still holding a summer robe with soft smoky veil in his hand.Seeing Shuyao looking at herself in surprise, she moved closer and said, "What were you thinking about just now with your head down? Are you waiting for me here?"

Shuyao was even more surprised, looked at Siyuan and said, "How would I know you are here?"

Siyuan was stunned, and asked, "Then why are you here?"

"I..." Shu Yao's face flushed, "Prince Rui is taking a bath in the pool, I will stay here in anticipation of her summons."

"Prince Rui? Your Highness?" Siyuan exclaimed, "In the side hall bath???"

Shuyao was startled by her yelling, and hurried up to cover her mouth, "What are you yelling about!"

Siyuan pulled her hand away and stomped anxiously: "My young lady is also in the bath, this gauze fell into the water, I went back to the room to get a new robe for her!" rush.

Shuyao grabbed her and frowned, thinking that the secret of Prince Rui must never be known to others, so she scolded: "You can break through this too!"

Siyuanpao was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but Shuyao didn't listen to her persuasion, she just tiptoed to look in the door, Shuyao pulled her arm and she kept twisting, trying to run to the airy window to look.How could Shuyao let her pass by, she desperately tried to stop her, and suddenly bumped into her arms without defense, Siyuan was still struggling, Shuyao had already pressed her against the wall, closed her eyes, and kissed her recklessly.

The early summer sun streams down from the eaves, laying slantingly on the feet, and the soft smoky robes are scattered on the bluestone boards carved with light patterns, like soft petals blowing in the wind.Siyuan opened her eyes wide to see Shuyao approaching, and her heart beat fast. At the moment when the kiss fell, she closed her eyes gently and hugged her as if she was blessed.

The author has something to say: It will be updated at about 09:30 tomorrow night, friends, it is best to read it in time, although I haven't written anything, but now everything is dead... If it is locked, I don't plan to modify it.Because after the modification, there is no flavor of the original text.For example, Chapter 58, after the revision, it is really unsatisfactory.So, I hope it's okay to not smoke this time.
