The reborn brother eats candy

By the time the banquet ended, it was already very late.Princess Pingyang was never in good health, so Madam Cui helped her down to rest first.And Xu Yan still had Xu Mo in his heart, so he also returned to Dongyuan.

Although the concubine Wan made mistakes because of her greed and vanity in the past, in Xu Yan's heart, the crime was not as good as her son's. Xu Mo was innocent after all, and besides, he and himself were brothers whose blood was thicker than water.You have to take care of it anyway.Xu is that the princess of Pingyang doesn't pay much attention to Xu Mo on weekdays, and the servants of the palace secretly speculate that the princess doesn't like the young son, so they look down on him a bit.

Although Dongyuan is a large courtyard, Xu Mo lives in the most remote corner of Dongyuan, and there are probably only one or two servants around him.And because of his unpleasant temperament, Xu Yan could probably understand Xu Mo's situation in the palace, but he couldn't say much.

Passing through the bamboo forest in Dongyuan, Xu Yan walked deep into Dongyuan. Because of the remote location and few people going there, Xu Yan carried a bright yellow lantern and walked all the way to find Xu Mo under the moonlight.

It was only half way, and there was a small group of black shadows looming on the far side of the lotus pond.Xu Yan frowned, raised the lantern in his hand a little, and when the bright light shone, he recognized who the shadow was.

"Mo'er." Xu Yan walked a few steps and saw Xu Mo still squatting by the lotus pond as if he didn't know anyone was coming, so he asked, "What are you doing here? feel cold?"

Hearing this, Xu Mo turned slightly, raised his expressionless face and said, "It's late at night, what is your son doing here again?" After finishing speaking, Xu Mo lowered his head again and fiddled with the red object in his hand.

Taking a closer look, Xu Yan finally saw a lotus lantern hidden in Xu Mo's hand.Sighing secretly in his heart, Xu Yan knelt down, put the lantern in his hand aside, and said to Xu Mo in a warm voice, "Mo'er, why do you call me son? I'm your big brother. If you really don't want to call, then Call me by my name, but don't call it in front of others, lest others trouble you, you know?"

Xu Mo didn't expect Xu Yan to treat him so gently, he paused, Xu Mo lowered his eyes for a while before he said in a low voice, "Did you send Taoyao to rescue me during the daytime today?"

"Good boy, Mo'er." Xu Yan didn't answer the question, but told Xu Mo, "In the future, if someone bullies you, you can go to elder brother's Yaju and find Zijin. She is the kindest person, and she will definitely help you."

"En." Xu Mo nodded, feeling a little sour in his heart.It's not that he doesn't know everything. He knows how his own mother, Concubine Wan, died tragically. Except for the boy from Zhilan Yushu, I'm afraid there will be no one who treats him well again, right?

"Brother..." Xu Mo called out in a low voice, then raised his tearful eyes to look at Xu Yan and said, "I heard from others that sending lotus lanterns on Mid-Autumn Festival can relieve lovesickness, is it true?"

Hearing this, Xu Yan felt sorry for Xu Mo again, looking at the pond full of lotus flowers and said to himself, Mo'er lost her mother since she was a child, and was not treated by her father and king. Staying lonely in the palace.And because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I miss my dead mother even more.

Originally, the palace did not allow lotus lanterns to be released privately, especially since Xu Mo was still a concubine, and Princess Pingyang was the aunt. Where are these parents who are going to miss their loved ones?

"Mo'er, did you write on the lotus lantern?" Xu Yan asked.

Shaking his head, Xu Mo no longer had the stubborn and unruly appearance in the past, now he is just a half-old child, Nuan Nuanuo is at a loss.

Forget it, Xu Yan sighed secretly, and continued, "It's okay, sincerity is the key to success. Mo'er, as long as you let it go with your own hands, presumably your biological mother will be able to hear what you are thinking."

Sucking his nose, Xu Mo nodded, and carefully put the lotus lamp in his hand into the lotus pond.The lotus lamp slowly spread along the pool water to the center of the lotus, and disappeared into the distance after a while.

Xu Yan reached out his hand and touched Xu Mo's head, then took off his outer clothes and gently covered Xu Mo's body, saying, "I wish you a long life, and you will be beautiful for thousands of miles. Mo'er, when you miss your mother, your mother also thinking of you."

"Brother... Is what you said true?" Xu Mo looked quietly at the bamboo green outerwear he was wearing, and pulled the clothes tighter with his two trembling hands.The small body like a cub looked especially desolate and lonely in the dark night, and the thin lips were tightly pressed, as if to resist all the harm brought to him by the outside world.

Xu Yan had a panoramic view of Xu Mo's expression in front of him. Whether it was Xu Mo's rebelliousness or arrogance, it was just a shell to protect himself.Just like a hedgehog, no matter how sharp spikes grow on the outer fur, his belly is always soft and warm, and once all the spikes are lost, the hedgehog will not live long.

And Xu Mo is not Su Liangsheng, nor is he more nourished than Su Liangsheng who lived on Jiuli Mountain.In the courtyard of the deep gate, the surface looks bright and beautiful, but there will always be some unknown dirty things happening behind the scenes, which cannot be avoided or forbidden.Therefore, Xu Yan didn't want Xu Mo to learn how to pull out the spikes, but he just hoped that he could live a better life.

"Big brother won't lie to you." Xu Yan sighed secretly, and continued, "Mo'er, big brother will take you back?"

Shaking his head, Xu Mo hung his head and said nothing, just stood up expressionlessly, and walked back on his own.

Xu Yan was naturally worried that Xu Mo would go back by himself, so he quickly called him back and said, "Mo'er, I told you that big brother will send you back, why did you leave first?" He lifted the lantern, raised his legs and walked a few steps forward. The moment he got close to Xu Mo, he grabbed Xu Mo's little hand and said with a gentle smile, "Let's go, brother will take you back."

His body froze, Xu Mo pursed his lips and did not shake off Xu Yan's hand, but walked forward in silence.

The two walked all the way to the side courtyard where Xu Mo lived under the light of the lantern, and pushed open the thick and old wooden door. Xu Yan looked at the dilapidated courtyard, frowned involuntarily, and held Xu Mo's hand even tighter. up.

The courtyard was pitch-black, except for an oil lamp that was still burning inside, presumably it was reserved for Xu Mo, the gatekeeper and maidservants should have gone to bed long ago.

"Mo'er, go back to sleep." Xu Yan knelt down, looked at Xu Mo gently and said.

"En." Xu Mo staggered his eyes, ripped off the outer garment on his body, and hesitated for a long time before gathering the courage to stand on tiptoe and carefully cover the outer garment in his hand. Looking down on Yan, he lowered his eyes and said in a low voice, "Brother, you're going back to the mountain tomorrow, aren't you? Mo'er can't go out to see you off then, so be careful on the way. I...I'll go back first..."

After all, Xu Mo turned around and ran away.

Xu Yan was stunned for a while, then got up after a while, and went back with the lantern.

It was getting late, and when Xu Yan returned to Dongyuan Yaju, the dinner party in the front yard was also over.Tao Yao was carrying a basin of hot water, and as soon as she went out, she saw Xu Yan, so she stepped forward and said, "Why did your son come back so late? Do you want to order the small kitchen to make some more food?"

"No need, I'm just walking around in the mansion, it's getting late, you go down and rest, you don't need to wait." Xu Yan waved his hand casually, and strode into the room

go with.

Taoyao who was behind her hurriedly gave a salute, answered "Yes", and went down joyfully.

Under the night sky full of stars, Xu Yan stood quietly in front of the table, staring at the calligraphy and paintings on the table in a daze.

This calligraphy and painting was done during the day, although Qingfeng Haoyue didn't understand it, she still felt that the calligraphy was good.Xu Yan touched the words on it, and read in a low voice, "Yuyu Qionglou, come and go by Luan, people are in Qingliang Country."
