you poked my tail

When it comes to Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather is slightly cool.

In Prince Jing's mansion, horse-drawn carriages came in and out. The carts were filled with fresh corn, millet, rice, etc. bought from the villagers, and sent to the granary in the mansion for the next day. A season's needs.

Human beings store food for the winter, and as a fox that has become a spirit, Bai Ruan has already started to store food.

There were some nuts and pastries hidden under the bed, in the cabinet, and under the couch, which made Chu Heng helpless and funny.

But looking at Bai Ruan's naive appearance, all Chu Heng can do is pamper and pamper him.

"When the weather gets colder, Aque, we will go to the mountain to find wild fruits for storage. It would be better if we can store some grains such as corn and wheat." Intentionally, a pair of round and beautiful eyes looked out the window.

The little tit took a look at him, fluttered its wings and landed on the edge of the window, and said, "Ah Ruan, I saw many carriages coming and going in and out of the palace, as if they had transported a lot of food to the warehouse of the palace. You are the prince's lord, Since he has stockpiled food, then naturally you don’t need to stockpile any more.”

Bai Ruan pursed his lips, glanced at him, took the pomegranate from the plate on the small table, got some red seeds and put them on the small table for the little tit to eat.

Then he took a big sip and put it into his own mouth, and said softly while eating, "But, Ah Heng is so busy, and he still has to spare time to store food for the winter, how hard it is, as a husband, I want to If you love your wife, don't bother Ah Heng with such matters."

The little tit was pecking at the pomegranate. Hearing this, he raised his head and blinked, "But, your Ah Heng seems to have a reserve."

"Can you see Ah Heng there?" Bai Ruan's round eyes looked at him.

The little tit thought for a while, then shook her head, "No."

"Maybe it wasn't Ah Heng's reserve?" Bai Ruan said and took another big mouthful of pomegranate, smashing it, "Ah Que, if I want to be a good husband-in-law, I have to reserve it first. dont you agree?"

The head of the little tit, which was as big as a walnut, could not turn much. He blinked the small eyes of the black bean, nodded his head at last, and continued to peck at the pomegranate.

Bai Ruan's mouth was full of red, and his almond eyes squinted and squinted in satisfaction. When he was full, he sat there obediently and carefully peeled the pomegranate.

The big bowl on the red sandalwood table, after a long time, was completely peeled off by his little hands, softly and contented, he gently pressed it with his hands, and peeled off a little more, until the bowl couldn't hold it at all.

He breathed a sigh of satisfaction, laughed foolishly twice, picked up the pomegranate seeds that fell on the small table and put them in his mouth.

"Dong Rong, when will Ah Heng come back?" He looked towards the door and asked.

Dongmei and Qiurong didn't enter the room, but Chu Heng walked in and said, "Here we come."

When Bai Ruan heard this, he opened his round eyes, and when he saw Chu Heng, he immediately got off the couch, stepped on his shoes and rushed towards him, with a sound of ouch, he said in a soft voice, "You naughty little lady, have you been doing this all the time? Hiding at the door, and walked in when I asked?"

Chu Heng pinched the face of the little thing in his arms, and followed his words, "Yes."

Bai Ruan chuckled, and took his hand, "Ah Heng, come on, look, this is what Ah Ruan peeled for you." As he spoke, he pushed the large bowl of peeled pomegranates on the small table to him.

Chu Heng stared blankly, "You peeled it all yourself?"

Bai Ruan nodded, and looked at Chu Heng begging for praise.

Chu Heng looked at his little face covered with pomegranate juice, then took his white hands, which were also covered with pomegranate red juice, brought them to his lips and kissed them distressedly, then pinched his little face , told Qiurong and the others to prepare warm water.

Bai Ruan forcibly squeezed between Chu Heng's legs, sat on his lap, grabbed the peeled pomegranate and handed it to Chu Heng's mouth.

Chu Heng opened his mouth to eat, and Bai Ruan couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Heng, isn't Ah Ruan's peeled food particularly delicious?"

Chu Heng smiled and nodded, kissed his soft face, grabbed some and brought it to Bai Ruan's mouth.

Bai Ruan ahw swallowed it all in one gulp, narrowed his round eyes, and ate while shaking his head, looking happy.

After eating the pomegranate, Chu Heng took Bai Ruan and washed his hands and face together. Bai Ruan was tired and too lazy to move, so he stretched out his hands and asked Chu Heng to wash him with his face held high.

Chu Heng smiled and pinched his nose.

Looking at him with white soft round eyes, blinking, took the cloth towel in Chu Heng's hand, followed his example, soaked it in warm water, and wrung it dry.

"Heng, give me your hand." He took Chu Heng's hand as he spoke, and wiped his hands seriously, not forgetting to praise, "My Ah Heng's hands are so pretty."

The unconcealable pet in his tone made Chu Heng laugh.

Bai Ruan continued to send candy, bowed his head and leaned forward to kiss Chu Heng's hand, then heaved a sigh of relief, thinking with satisfaction, he is really a qualified good husband.

After washing their hands, the two quarreled for a while, and after lunch, Chu Heng went to work again.

Recently, news came from the capital that there was an earthquake in Bashu, and the land in the south was raining again and again, and the floods were severe. The emperor was very worried about this. In the past few years, there were foreign invasions and internal strife, continuous wars, and the state treasury was in short supply. The people on both sides were in trouble, and the relief money distributed by the treasury was not enough, so they naturally had to "borrow" some from the kings of the fiefdoms.

The first one started with Chu Heng, the emperor ordered him to take 10 taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, plus [-] tans of rice, [-] tans of noodles, and [-] tans of cloth.

Chu Heng is not stupid, he knows that this is a problem for him, if he can figure it out, it is good, but I am afraid that Chu Duo will label him as "greedy".

You must know that 10 taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, [-] tans of rice plus [-] dans of noodles, and [-] tans of cloth are not small sums.

Chu Heng lowered his eyes, sat on the couch in the study, took the ledger on the table, and flipped through it casually.

Thinking about how many good things his father bestowed on him when he was fighting abroad for many years, he would share them with the soldiers. Besides, he was born not to value gold, silver and jewels. It's a bit difficult.

If he doesn't take it, Chu Duo will surely charge him with unwarranted charges in different ways.

Chu Heng looked at it for a while, and found that there were quite a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and money in Prince Jing's mansion. After hesitating for a while, he ordered someone to call the housekeeper, and said, "Steward Qian, count the cash, silver, and gold in the house, and use The box is packed."

"Back to the lord, is it all?" the butler asked respectfully.

"All." Chu Heng said lightly.

The butler was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then asked, "My lord, don't you take all of them for disaster relief?"

"Even if the emperor does not issue an order to ask us princes of sub-fiefdoms to contribute to disaster relief, as citizens of our own country, the country is in trouble, so let's do our best." Chu Heng said lightly, "Let's step back."

The housekeeper answered yes, saluted and stepped back.

Chu Heng sighed secretly, and decided that the soldiers would come and cover the water and soil.

Some people can only be behaved if they fight back positively.

-

It was late at night, and the night in the imperial city was eerily quiet.

Chu Duo crouched at the table to review the memorial. Perhaps he was too tired or too sleepy. He closed his eyes for a while, and when he opened them again, he was a little dizzy.

He supported his head, rubbed the center of his brows, and leaned on the chair, his head was so dizzy that he couldn't stand up, so he had to lie down on the table to rest for a while, then slowly got up, and went to lie down on the bed alone.

He can't fall, never!

If he was tired and fell down like this, he wouldn't let the world laugh at him.I have exhausted all means to sit in this high position, but it only took less than a year to get sick from exhaustion, or to death from exhaustion, that is really a ridiculous thing in the world!

Chu Duo gritted his teeth and thought, and clenched his fist, he can't fall down, he can't lose, not only can't lose to other people, but also can't lose to himself.

He got up, but he was supported by the bed by a burst of dizziness, and sat there in silence for a long time, then closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slowly got up and went to the desk to continue reviewing the memorial.

The four oil lamps on the table gradually dimmed. He raised his eyes and saw that the lamp oil was about to run out.

Chu Duo got up, bent down to pick up the oil pot on the ground, poured a little bit of oil into it, but because of shaking hands, the oil accidentally spilled all over the table, and he quickly dropped the oil pot to rescue those memorials, when he heard the oil pot There was a broken sound, the oil inside flowed all over the floor, and Chu Duo frowned.

Discouraged and bored, speechless, he sat down on the chair and sulked.

Baicheng's laughing sound came from the beams of the house, but that laughing sound was as clear as running water, very pleasant to hear.

Chu Duo followed the voice and looked up. Baicheng was floating in the air, and his white clothes were fluttering.

"I made Daxian laugh." Chu Duo said.

Bai Chengfei landed on the ground, twirling his hair lightly with his fingers, his gestures were all seductive, but his eyes were as cold as a knife, he looked at Chu Duo and said, "The majestic king of a country doesn't even have a servant around him, what are you doing?" Which song did you sing?"

Chu Duo didn't answer, but pursed his lips, looked at him, and said after a while, "Isn't there a great immortal to accompany me every night?"

Hearing what he said, Baicheng sneered, but he was not angry, and ignored him. He just looked at the mess on the table and the ground, and then at Chu Duo who was a little embarrassed. , he was in a good mood, as if he had juggled a flagon in his hand, held his head up to drink, and then went to lie down on the couch.

Chu Duo was used to his temperament of not treating himself as an outsider, so he started to tidy up the mess on the table and floor, and after he finished tidying up, he was a little thirsty, so he went to the table to pour tea, only to find that the teapot was empty.

Bai Cheng, who was half lying on the side drinking wine, glanced at him, sneered coldly, his eyes were full of sarcasm.

Chu Duo smiled wryly, feeling that he was really causing trouble for himself, that the majestic king of a country did not leave any palace servants to serve him.

With a dark sigh, he got up and took the teapot and went out to find water to drink.

The days passed unhurriedly, and it was the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye.

When Chu Duo learned that King Jing Chu Duo had privately recruited troops to expand his army, bought horses and raised horses, he was so angry at the news that his face was livid, his fists clenched, and his teeth were bitten again and again. Finally, he snorted coldly and knocked the paperweight on the table to the ground, furious. Said, "He Prince Jing is so blatant, I really admire him!"

An official kneeling at the bottom said, "Going back to the emperor, I feel that King Jing's behavior is already a conspiracy, and the emperor can punish him with death!"

Chu Duo sneered, and it took him a long time to say bitterly, "He, Chu Heng, has the gold medal for avoiding death. Most of the courtiers and soldiers in this court are quite sincere to him. The most important thing is that he not only leads the soldiers to fight well, but also He is full of talent, just take this earthquake and flood, he made a great contribution and saved the people from the fire and water, how can I kill such a person so easily?"

The kneeling officials bowed their heads and said nothing more.

After finishing speaking, Chu Duo waved his hands, "Go down."

When everyone left, Chu Duo sat down and picked up the cinnabar pen on the table to review the official documents, but because of his agitation, he stroked it twice and then threw it aside. After a short silence, he picked up the brush again, but he was still bored. Unable to calmly review, he finally pushed all the brush memorials off the table angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it!"

After finishing speaking, he chuckled coldly, then looked up to the sky and laughed.

He burst into tears with a full laugh, and then calmed down, staring at the distant sky with a serious expression, no one knew what kind of mood was hidden under his cold eyes.

In the dead of night, Baicheng appeared. He raised his eyes to look at the moon, with a half-smile, "Prince Jing's life is better than yours, and some things cannot be forced. No matter how hard you try, you will eventually be in vain."

"But now I, Chu Duo, sit in this high position!" Chu Duo was so anxious that he stared angrily, and almost took the red fox sword to chop Baicheng.

Seeing him like this, the corners of Baicheng's mouth curled up into a mocking smile, "You are so disturbed in this high position, if you want me to say you don't want to sit down!"

Chu Duo stood up abruptly, facing Shang Baicheng's cold and serious expression, Shan couldn't get angry again.

Bai Cheng squinted at him, with sarcasm in his eyes, but he didn't want to say much, instead he took out the flagon to drink and sing a song.

The angry Chu Duo clenched his fists, and was at a loss in his anger. He was utterly distraught by Baicheng's singing, and shouted loudly, "You fox demon! Shut up!"

When the words fell to the ground, Baicheng's sharp claws grabbed Chu Duo's neck.

And Chu Duo's hand also held Bai Cheng's hand.
