a pillow in autumn

Hearing Siyuan's anxious yell, Zhou Mubai was stunned for a moment, then turned his head in astonishment to see Shen Xianxun's equally astonished face, then turned back to look at the two of them, and finally couldn't help giggling.

Shuyao's delicate face is red and white, filled with countless entanglements.She stuffed the makeup hairpin in Siyuan's arms, turned around and ran out.

Siyuan hugged the whole set of jewelry and blinked her big eyes. Zhou Mubai smiled so much that his eyes narrowed. Seeing that she was still in a daze, he kindly reminded, "Aren't you going after me?" Shuyao looked like she was about to explode. . .

Siyuan said "Ah", took a step, and turned to look at her young lady, Shen Xianxun suppressed a smile and nodded, Zhou Mubai added to the anger: "If you don't chase, you will run away."

Siyuan jumped up, gave a hasty salute as a thank you, put the hairpin away, opened the door and chased out.

Xian Xun poured a cup of tea and put it on the edge of the table, and took a look at Mubai. Mubai smiled slowly, but still squinted his eyes, sitting in front of the table and holding his chin in amazement: "Shuyao is a big sister after all, how could she be treated like this? Little Siyuan took it."

Xian Xun had already walked to the window, and propped up the window. Hearing this, she looked back and smiled, "My Shen family can be considered as your Prince Rui's residence to go alone."

Mu Bai got up and walked behind Xian Xun, put his arms around her waist, put his face on her shoulders, and said in a sticky voice, "Why don't you take me back to Shen's house too."

Xian Xun's beautiful eyes slanted lightly, and there was a smile in her pupils, "Is this what you said?"

"I said it." Mu Bai rubbed Xian Xun's face, "I want to be the son-in-law and let Mrs. Shen take care of my food."

Xian Xun chuckled and dodged for a while, "Itchy~"

Mu Bai hugged her into his arms, and kissed her thinly powdered cheeks, it was sweet and sweet!still!not yet!do!

When she was about to kiss again, there was a knock on the door, and Xian Xun pushed her, but she was not happy about it, so she had no choice but to raise her voice and let the girls in.

Later, Shen Youtang and Xu Youci came together and had a conversation in the study first. Before the hot tea was served, Xiao Tuanzi rushed to knock on the door and hurriedly said that His Highness the Crown Prince sent someone to come, please Prince Rui went to the East Palace for a talk.

Zhou Mubai went back to his dormitory, changed into a prince's attire, and went to the palace with a few personal guards.

When they arrived at the East Palace, the officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry were all in the study, seeing Prince Rui's arrival, they saluted together.Mu Bai raised his hand, sat on the sidelines and listened for a while, only then did he realize that it was to send Zhou Mudi off.The etiquette of each ministry, the dowry candidates, the required ritual frames, gold and silver jewellery, beautiful jade vessels, brocades and brocades are numerous. There are as many as 360 scriptures and books of various kinds.

Mu Bai was speechless inwardly, half the city would be emptied by marrying a younger sister.

It wasn't until the people from the Ministry of Rituals and the Ministry of Industry bowed their hands and retreated that Zhou Muchen sat down behind the Liuyun table. He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, and said straight to the point: "Di'er is married to Shangshan, and I need a suitable send-off envoy. It’s okay to make do with it casually, we need to have a noble status to show that we attach importance to this marriage.”

"Brother Huang wants me to go?" Mu Bai bowed slightly and asked seriously.

Zhou Muchen shook his head: "Father means to let Mu Yi go. One is to send off his relatives as his prince and canonized prince, which shows his sincerity; the other is also for training. The last time he was conquered by the Tu clan was not just Let’s fight a few times, this time the princess is going to marry another country, the journey is far away, and the errand is not light, so she should be honored when she comes back.”

"Mu Yi just got married, and the journey to Shangshan is far away, and the team to send off his relatives is no more than marching. I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to go. Otherwise, I'd better go." Mu Bai frowned, feeling sorry for her brother after all.

The prince's eyebrows slanted, he glanced at her while holding a cup of hot tea, and then said with a joking smile: "So, are you willing to let Princess Rui go?"

Mu Bai knew that he was just joking, and raised his hands when he saw the trick: "Of course I don't want to part with it, but someone has to go. Or... Brother Huang, you go?"

"Pfft!" Zhou Muchen spit out a mouthful of tea, hurriedly brushed off his robe and patted the table, pointing at her, he was speechless for a while.

Mu Bai blinked with an innocent look on his face.

When the little girl came in to clean up the tea-stained pens and inks on the table, Zhou Muchen changed his place, leaned down on the Arhat's couch, and said, "Imperial Father prefers to send Mu Yi to see off his relatives, so there is a reason for him. Seeing the end of the year Well, there are still a lot of taxes from the states and counties that have not been collected, and the method of raising the war horses that the Tu people paid tribute to is not known to be effective. You and I need to take care of the court. After all, Mu Yi is still too young, and His mind is more in the army than in the court. Muye..." When he said this, he sighed as if casually, "Muye..."

"I know." Mubai said.

Mu Chen raised his eyebrows and stared into Mu Bai's eyes for a while.Mu Bai didn't speak any more, but also looked into his eyes, his eyes were frank.

"Hmm," he replied.

After drinking half a cup of tea, the two talked for a while, Mu Bai got up to say goodbye, Zhou Muchen suddenly said: "After you perform the coronation ceremony, I will go to Qiongzhou and stay for a while. You should take more care of the court affairs. "

"Going to Qiongzhou again?" Zhou Mubai was very surprised, before he could think about it, he blurted out: "It hasn't been long since Brother Huang came back from Qiongzhou."

Zhou Muchen had already walked out of the study room, he paused when he heard these words, glanced at her before explaining: "Qiongzhou has been implemented very well since your New Deal, the people live in peace, the commercial port is in order, I want to implement the New Deal to the appropriate prefectures and counties , The last time someone went to check."

"Send a few capable people this time?" Mu Bai stepped forward, a little anxious, but he still comforted him: "My brother also knows that talking like this is presumptuous, but a few days ago, I heard that my father The emperor's heart disease is broken again, and the emperor's brother leaves Beijing at this time, I'm afraid the courtiers will criticize him. Or order the household department to follow..."

"This matter... I need to go there in person." Zhou Muchen cut her off, turned around and left resolutely.The sun was shining backwards from his side, Mu Bai squinted his eyes, unable to see his expression clearly.

As the dusk deepened, Zhou Mubai finished his day's work, lazily leaned against the imperial concubine's couch in the warm pavilion, and yawned lightly.Shen Xianxun asked the kitchen to make a few snacks, served them on a few exquisite celadon dishes and placed them on the jade-inlaid table.

"I saw you lazy when you came back from the palace, and you didn't have a good meal just now." Xian Xun picked out a small pine flower roll and handed it to Mu Bai, "But is the prince busy?"

Mubai didn't answer, just moved his head closer, and took a bite of Xianxun's hand. "Hmm." She swallowed the small roll and licked her lips before slowly saying: "Brother Huang asked me to pay more attention to the court, he is going to Qiongzhou." She raised her eyebrows, showing a look of puzzlement: " It has only been seven or eight months since we returned to the capital from Gunzhou, and he has stayed in Qiongzhou for a full three months. Now he is going..."

"What is it for?" Xian Xun watched her finish eating a small pine flower roll, got up and brought her half a cup of honey dew.

"It's for the New Deal, but I always feel it's wrong. Or it's also for the New Deal, but there must be other more important things." Mu Bai sighed, "It's fine if it's normal, it's just a few days ago I heard that my father's heart disease has occurred again, and the imperial physicians all asked my father to be at ease, there are many things in the court that must be done without the elder brother, but he wants to leave at this time, I am afraid that the courtiers will criticize him."

Xian Xun accompanied her to think for a while, then suddenly said: "May the Crown Princess go with the Crown Prince?"

Mu Bai was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either. It's just that the emperor's sister-in-law is pregnant, and the journey is treacherous, so I'm afraid it's inconvenient for her to go with her."

Xian Xun nodded, and handed over the honey dew in his hand, Mu Bai took a sip, pouted and said, "It's not sweet." He handed it back.

Xian Xun took it and took a sip from the rim of the cup, and said softly, "It's very sweet. I added honey myself."

"Really?" Mu Bai sat up straight and leaned over, put his arms around her and said, "I'll try again."

Xian Xun leaned against her bosom to hold up the cup, Mu Bai said with a quick smile, "I want to taste here." She raised Xian Xun's pointed chin, lowered her eyes, and kissed it.

"Hmm..." Xian Xun was still holding Xianglu in her hand, she turned her body sideways and was completely defenseless, her cheeks flushed quickly when she was attacked by her nimble lips and tongue.

Satisfied, Mu Bai let go of her for a while, smacked his lips and praised, "It's really sweet."

Xian Xun's face was bright red, and she gave her a white look, "Your Highness, do you think I'm a snack?"

"En." Mu Bai kissed her face again: "The unique dim sum in the world. Only I can eat it alone."

Xian Xun smiled in her arms, both shy and sweet.

The two were arguing, outside Shuyao knocked on the door, and after getting permission, she led the little girl to bring hot water in, Siyuan followed closely behind, following step by step.

Mubai laughed when he saw the two of them, Shuyao's face turned red quickly, seeing that Mubai smiled even more happily.Xian Xun pinched her arm, and without waiting for her to open her mouth, she said to the girls: "Just leave it alone, and I'll use it later. You guys go down first. You don't need to wait on me tonight."

Shuyao blushed and felt relieved at the same time, bowed her head and blessed her body, and then backed out.Siyuan was still holding a cloak of Xianqian, and Kanshuyao had already retreated to the door, very impatient.Xian Xun stood beside her, took the cloak, raised her chin and said, "Aren't you going? I'm going to run away again."

Siyuan opened his eyes wide, and said in surprise, "Miss, you've learned badly!"

Mu Bai laughed out loud.Xianqian came over and pinched her earlobe, she grabbed her hand and put it to her lips, biting lightly on her green finger, with a wicked smile on her face: "Do you think Shuyao will let her into the house?" ?”

As soon as Shuyao came back to the room, she closed the door, and no matter how much Siyuan pleaded outside, she would not hear her.

The night wind was getting colder, Siyuan stomped his feet in front of the door with a sad face, but he didn't dare to leave, so he had to hold the door and walk along: "Xiaoyao, I was wrong, please let me in. It's really cold outside... Listen, how loud the wind is..."

The lamp was on in the room, but there was no sound, Siyuan was almost crying standing outside the door.Suddenly, two little girls turned around from the corridor, and seeing her standing by the door, they were all surprised and said, "Why is Sister Siyuan sticking around here?"

"I..." She faltered for a while, but the little girl still didn't leave, so she covered her eyes and said, "I want to ask Shuyao to borrow some... um... I don't know if she is in the room, so I just Wait a while."

"Needle and thread?" The little girl blinked: "We have it in our room, come on, come back with us to get it."

"No, no, I..." Siyuan really wanted to send them away, but what excuses did she have, before she could think it through, the door in front of her room opened suddenly, Shuyao glanced at the two little girls, Throwing a sewing box into Siyuan's arms.

"Alas!" Siyuan moved quickly, and stretched out his arms the moment the door closed, regardless of the surprised eyes of the two girls outside, he lifted his foot and dodged into the door.
