Light Red Northern Song

"I asked Zhenxian Yunzhan for some pine flower wine, pine cone flowers picked from Cang Mountain, brewed by myself, to nourish the heart." Qi Mingxuan came back from the outside with the wine jar in one hand and two wine cups in the other. After sitting down He also said: "I just asked Qiu Yi to pass on the news that Chun Dai came up."

"Bring so much wine back, I won't drink it."

"I drink it myself." Qi Mingxuan replied with a chuckle, and really started to drink by himself.

Jing Rou caught a glimpse of her complacent look, rolled her eyes and asked, "You asked Qiu Yi to pass on Chun Dai, and you didn't know you would meet me beforehand?"

"What's the matter before and after?" She poured another glass of wine for herself and said, "I heard from the Taoist priest in the temple that the Taoists in the Three Small Halls who came here to give lectures and study tours have been notified and started to leave one after another today. It's closed, it's not allowed to go up."

"Absolutely down or not up? Then how can Chundai come up?"

"Heh, Immortal Yun Zhan said that Taoist Priest Chun is coming back soon. In order to facilitate Chun Dai's diagnosis and treatment, he authorized her to come up and stay temporarily."

"I don't know that Chunyan's medical skills are so good. She talks about treating others all day long." Jingrou joked a little sadly when she thought of Qiao Jinzhi's arm.

"Why do you still have thorns in your words? Aren't you an old acquaintance with that priest?"

Jing Rou suddenly turned her face and said, "I'm hungry."

"Huh? I heard that I didn't eat yesterday. Qiu Yi came to serve you at lunch. You also said that you have no appetite. Now you know you are hungry." She stood up and said with a helpless smile: "It's still early, dinner should not be ready, you Wait a minute, I'll go get some food."

Seeing her go out, Jingrou found out that Yujue was caressing her meticulously, and a little bit of sadness appeared between her brows, and she said to herself, "When will I see you? There are so many unexpected things, and I don't know if there is life and death." Goodbye."

On the way up the mountain, Qiu Yi looked very excited.

"Sister Chundai, when I came to see you yesterday, I was still worried that the misunderstanding between the two Highnesses was getting deeper and deeper. It has only been a day now, and the two of them seem to be getting closer."

"Sister Chundai, when you went to Princess Jingwu's place, you often came to take care of me. Later, I became estranged from Her Royal Highness Second Princess. Now it's good, as long as these two masters are good, we can be together again .”

"Sister Chundai, wait for that pure Taoist priest to return, and he will be able to heal your injury."

"Sister Chundai..."

"Qiu Yi."

"Ok?"

"Princess Jingrou, what kind of person is she?"

"Her? After she and Princess Jingwu were attacked in Beijing, I went to Jinyun Palace with sister Xia Le, but I didn't serve her personally at that time. Well, how should I put it, she is usually very easy-going and doesn't take airs easily. It was only after I served her personally that I got to know her better, in short, she is a good person."

"You never thought who was the bad guy, did you?"

"I entered the palace since I was young, and all I came into contact with were people in the palace. There are countless people who can't help but do wrong things, but those people are not all unforgivable sinners." Qiu Yi's attitude was humble at this time, But words still have ideas.

"Yesterday you stayed for a long time. I had something on my mind. I didn't talk to you too much. Don't mind." Chun Dai bowed her head for a moment, raised her eyes and said.

"No, sister Chundai." Qiu Yi laughed happily.

Qi Mingxuan went to the kitchen and was told that dinner would take at least half an hour.She turned around a couple of times and found a pot of mushroom soup stewing on the stove. She asked the small main road in charge of meals for a pottery bowl and scooped out some.

"Dinner will have to wait for a while, I'll serve you a bowl of mushroom soup first." She entered the room and said, putting the pottery bowl on the table.

"Mushroom soup?" Jing Rou walked over and sat down, looked at the pottery bowl on the table, then raised her head and asked, "How to use it?"

"Heh, here is the spoon, does Your Highness want to serve you?" Qi Mingxuan asked with a smile, stretching out his hand behind his back.

"Just be normal, don't bother me." Jing Rou was depressed, raised her hand to take the spoon and said.

Qi Mingxuan's smile froze, and he consciously interpreted the other party's words as accusing himself of his reckless words and deeds in the morning.She was a little unhappy, and sat silently on the other stool.

Jingrou realized that she had misunderstood after seeing the other party like this, but she was unhappy in her heart and didn't want to explain more.

"Be careful that I get poisoned." Qi Mingxuan was unhappy, staring at the other party drinking the soup, and said something mischievous.

Jingrou frowned, stopped her hands and looked up unintentionally and asked, "Why did you become like this?"

"How am I?"

"In this way, you'll always act like a child." She said emphatically, put down the spoon, and walked inward.

The atmosphere that had just eased for half a day began to be uncertain again, and both of them recalled the past.Wasn't Zhao Zhenniang brought the witch wine that Lin'er drank at that time?Now she still says that it is poisonous but not poisonous, which makes Jingrou very uncomfortable.Qi Mingxuan lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a while, he picked up the wine jar on the table and strode out.

"What exactly do you want?" Jing Rou knew that the other party had left, she turned her back to the door and said to herself.

As it got late, Qi Mingxuan sat alone on a piece of snow drinking somewhere west outside the main hall.She was annoyed at first that that person always had trouble with her, and then she was annoyed that she was indeed talking nonsense like a young child, which brought up many unpleasant memories for no reason.

It is true that I was not like this before, at least not as anxious and angry at every turn, saying some inexplicable words, and having some strange idleness.

"Didn't you think it over? Settle the debts of the past and protect her in this life. What am I doing?" This is the second time she asked herself this question today, and now she really doesn't understand what she is doing .

The more she thought about it, the more clueless she became, and the more she drank.

Qiu Yi returned to the master's residence and said: "Your Highness, the maidservant has brought Sister Chundai back."

"Well," Jingrou looked out and asked, "Where's the person?"

"Your Highness, sister Chundai? She is waiting outside."

"Oh, did the priest arrange a room for her?"

"The two of us have just returned, so I'm going to ask you." Qiu Yi walked out with cheerful steps, and even glanced at the table before leaving.

After a while, she returned and said: "The Taoist priest asked Chundai to live in the courtyard of His Royal Highness with the servants and guards. Your Highness, the dinner must not be good. The servants will go and make you some snacks."

"No need, I'm not hungry, please take away the utensils on the table."

"Your Highness just used the soup?" Qiu Yi walked to the table and picked up the tableware and asked, "Did you only eat half a bowl?"

No one answered, she had no choice but to turn around to leave, but saw Chun Dai standing outside the door.

"Sister Chundai, are you looking for me?"

"I'm not looking for you, I haven't seen my master."

"His Royal Highness Princess Jingwu is not in the room." Qiu Yi freed a hand to pull her, and said: "My Royal Highness has a poor appetite, I have to make some snacks for her."

"Then where did my master go?" Chun Dai asked as they were walking down the corridor.

"Ah? I don't know," Qiu Yi stopped, handed out the things in his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll ask my Highness."

"Are you asking her like this? She won't blame you for breaking the etiquette?" Chun Dai asked, grabbing her hand.

"Your Highness won't, just wait, and I'll come back." Qiu Yi replied with his head down and a silly smile.

She trotted back a few steps, returned to her room and asked, "Your Highness, where is Princess Jingwu? Sister Chundai is looking for her."

"Sister Chundai, Sister Chundai." When Jingrou heard the other person asking about that person, she panicked again, and repeated twice on purpose, raising her head and answering: "I don't know where she is. It's you, all day long." I don't see you all day, I think your heart is wild."

"Your Highness, I..." Qiu Yi felt aggrieved and blamed himself, he lowered his head and dared not speak out.

"Didn't you eat at noon? Don't stay here, go get something to eat." Jingrou looked at her, walked over and poked her arm in a slow tone.

"Well, I'll take Sister Chundai to the front hall to wait for the meal first, and then I'll make Songhua Cake for His Highness, you must like it." Qiu Yi immediately raised his head happily, tugged at the sleeve of his master and said with a smile.

"Oh, let's go."

Qiu Yi ran down the corridor and said, "Sister Chundai, let's go to the front hall first, Her Royal Highness Princess Jingwu must be busy."

"The master isn't here, so I won't go either. Go do your own work, and I'll look for it later."

Qiu Yi wanted to follow, but thought that his master had nothing in his belly, so he went to the kitchen first.

When Qi Mingxuan was about to drink up all the wine in the altar, Chundai found her.

"Your Highness, the servants are here."

"Well, it's just in time, go get some more wine."

"Your Highness, why are you drinking so much wine all of a sudden?" Chun Dai asked as she walked forward.

"Don't ask, if you weren't injured, I would still want to drink with you. Drinking alone is so boring."

Chun Dai lowered her brows and turned to look back, and said doubtfully: "I heard from Qiu Yi when I went up the mountain, that Your Highness is in a good mood today."

"Go quickly, come back quickly." Qi Mingxuan put aside the subject, half supported his body on his arms, and said with his head tilted.

Chun Dai didn't know where to find wine, she wanted to ask Qiu Yi, but when she passed the back passage of the main hall, she saw Jing Rou leaning on the porch in front of her door.

She stopped, and the other side turned her head to look over, and the two looked at each other from a distance that was not too far away.

Even if you see it, it's not easy to pretend you didn't see it.Although it is not in the palace, the necessary etiquette must still be in place.She lowered her eyes and turned to the left, saluted and said: "See Her Royal Highness Princess Jingrou."

"Chundai? No courtesy." Jingrou remembered that the person had mentioned to herself that the person in front of her was poisoned by Gu poisoning and her appearance was ruined, so she covered her face with a green veil.

"Your Highness is fine, and the servants will leave."

"Have you found her yet?"

"Huh? I found it." Chun Dai blinked and asked again: "Does Your Highness know where there is wine?"

"Can't you drink?" Jing Rou subconsciously raised her head and asked.

Chun Dai was at a loss for a moment, and then understood the meaning of the other party, and she felt a little warm, and replied shyly: "It's not the servants who want to drink."

"She still drinks?" Jingrou shook her head and said: "I don't know where there is wine. Maybe the office has it, but I don't know if she drinks the miscellaneous wine. If not, you should ask Qiu Yi. Where can I go from the office? There are two ways."

Chun Dai got the words and was about to leave, when he heard the other party say: "You guys are going to leave here after dinner, you know that?"

"The servant girl knows that she is going to the courtyard under the main hall."

"Well, let's go."

Chun Dai turned to the kitchen, and saw Qiu Yi was busy, and there was a young master in the room.

"Sister Chundai? Why are you here? It's not ventilated here, you go out now." Qiu Yi turned around and asked with his sleeves tied and a cloth scarf tied half of his body.

"Qiu Yi, do you know where there is wine?"

"Wine?" Qiu Yi looked around and asked, "Daoist Linxiao, do you know?"

"It's available here, but most of them are medicinal wine, food and wine, what wine do you want?" A thin young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes turned around and asked.

"Well, yes, how about some good wine?"

"Good wine? The uncle and senior sister Linyuan have it. But the senior sister is not in the temple. The uncle and the uncle seem to have left. Maybe they have returned to Youyin Valley. Today, they also explained that the recent affairs of the temple will be handled by Linwei senior sister. "

"So," Qiu Yi walked over and asked, "Don't you drink alcohol on weekdays?"

"There are very few people who like this thing in the master's school, except for the uncle and sister Linyuan."

"Then, I won't bother you anymore." Chun Dai bowed slightly to thank Xiao Gandao, and then said: "Qiu Yi, don't ask any more questions, I'll go and have a look elsewhere."

"Sister Chundai," Qiu Yi chased her out and asked, "Where are you going to find it? I'm almost ready here. You wait in the front hall for a while and have something to eat."

"No." Chundai said and left.

Qiu Yi clasped his hands in front of him and watched him turn the corridor.
