when will you sprout baby

"Excuse me, Young Master Xu, what's in your lantern?"

Outside the brightly lit palace, a young man in fine clothes stopped the young man who was about to come down the ladder.

a moment ago.

The setting sun floats in the gap between the gorgeous sunset glow and the blue sky. On the way to the west, a ray of gorgeous afterglow passes through the branches of peach trees and casts blurred spots on the palace wall.

The spot of light continued to move down with the Golden Crow, and at a certain moment, a shadow that was probably a hair crown suddenly passed by.

The hair crown was carved from top-quality white jade, and on it was inlaid with pearls the size of a little finger, exactly seventeen of them.

The owner of the Pearl White Jade Crown is a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, his eyebrows have not yet fully opened, he looks like a man and a woman.He has a fair complexion, bright red lips, slender eye tails raised slantingly, and the clear eye waves that have been washed, appear extraordinarily pure and clean under the sunlight.

Xu Changan, who was wearing a tea-and-white brocade robe with hidden embroidered group patterns, held a running lamp in his hand, and hurried along the palace road made of white marble.

A gust of wind brought about by his hasty steps involuntarily lifted a few strands of long hair that had escaped from his hair crown.

Xu Changan reached out his hand to smooth down the long hair that was floating. He looked up at the sky, and worry slipped across his face.

The lantern made of silk wobbled, and Xu Changan quickened his pace.

It was a rather delicate lantern, about a foot long, and oval in shape.The surface of the lamp is painted with good paint, carefully depicting a quietly blooming peony. The flourishing branches and leaves and overlapping petals are all lifelike.

It took Xu Changan a lot of effort to paint this peony.

But in the end everything is worth it.

At the corner of a palace wall, Xu Changan stopped in his tracks.It is very accidental to find that my hearing is very keen.He attached his ears to the palace wall and listened carefully to the movement.

Passing this corner is the heavily guarded Imperial Garden, which is also Xu Changan's destination.

Xu Changan waited patiently for a while, the subtle sound of armor colliding with each other rang out, followed by the astonishing sound of spears poking the ground.

It's time for the Praetorian Guard to change value.

Accompanied by a thick and powerful slap, the sound of uniform footsteps gradually faded away.

Xu Chang'an waited until the sound was completely lost, and then quickly slipped into the Imperial Garden with his back bent.

When it was almost time to hold the lanterns, the entire imperial city was foggy.The mist curls down like light smoke, lingering on the peonies of various colors in the imperial garden, suddenly like being in a fairyland.

Xu Changan didn't take a second look, he only had time for a cup of tea.After a cup of tea, the exchange guards will arrive.

So as soon as he entered the imperial garden, he went straight to the target.

It has only been two days since Xu Changan broke into the imperial garden by mistake, but the decadence of the green dragon crouching in the ink pool became more and more obvious.

All the emerald green leaves curled up sleepily, and the flower buds that were about to bloom even hung down directly, no longer looking energetic.

Seeing the withered and yellow roots of the peony, Xu Changan didn't have time to feel distressed. He held the bottom of the lantern with both hands in opposite directions, and with a light twist, the bottom of the lantern was separated from the lamp surface.

Inside the exposed bottom, there is no wick oil, but a small wooden flower pot.

In order not to hurt the roots, Xu Changan left a large piece of soil where the tap root was.He carefully moved the Qinglongwomochi into the wooden flower pot, and covered the flower buds with a black cloth bag to prevent the fragrance from overflowing and causing trouble.

After dealing with the scene, Xu Changan picked up the lantern and quietly left the imperial garden.

*****

"Where did you go, brat?" A black bone fan suddenly came out and landed dangerously on Xu Changan's neck.As the voice fell to the ground, an ai green figure turned out from the corner of the palace wall.

An Ziyan stopped Xu Changan's way with a smile.

He is a little older than Xu Changan, and he is obviously handsome and elegant, as if he came out of a painting, but because he always smiles with malicious intentions, there is a kind of meanness and embarrassment in his eyebrows. He doesn't look like a scion from a scholarly family at all, but he has a bit of the hooligan temperament of Changlefang.

"Could it be that you went to some empress palace to steal incense and jade while I was away?"

An Ziyan withdrew his hand, opened the folding fan with a bang, and showed Xu Changan an expression of "everyone is a man".

Xu Changan was too lazy to accept his low-level joke, so he passed him and continued on.

"Hey, don't rush away, just wait for me."

Like a large flytrap, An Ziyan ran over from behind and hooked Xu Changan's neck with one hand.

Xu Chang'an was staggered by him, and almost staged the scene of "the youngest son of the Great Sima and the son of the Minister of Rites fell and ate shit" at Jiqingmen.

But also because of this action, Xu Changan could clearly see that An Ziyan's other hand was empty.

"Where's your lantern?" Xu Changan asked.

Today is the day for the little prince to pray for lanterns. According to the etiquette, the children of the aristocratic family will go to the Hall of Eternal Life to hang a lantern for the little prince.

After Xu Changan's question, An Ziyan's eyes fell on the lantern in his hand for the first time.

Seeing the peony depicted on the lamp surface, An Ziyan was stunned for a moment, the astonishment in his eyes flashed past, then he touched his chin, showing an ambiguous expression: "Tsk tsk, the painting is not bad. Why, what is wrong with the third prince?" idea?"

Xu Chang'an didn't understand how the topic turned to the third prince.

Fortunately, An Ziyan just said it casually, and didn't expect Xu Changan to answer. He changed the subject and returned to the question just now: "Do you want to listen to the truth or lies?"

Xu Chang'an suddenly felt that he should feed the dog for his superficial concern just now. He smiled slightly and uttered two words: "Neither."

"Hey, don't be angry! I tell you it's okay!"

While chasing Xu Changan who was going further and further away, An Ziyan muttered in a low voice.

"Make the voice louder so that the imperial guards can hear it, and report it to Lord Shangshu."

Xu Changan's clear voice, which is between youth and teenager, came from afar.

This is the No.17 year of his rebirth.

Seventeen years have passed since an accident sent Xu Changan, who lived in the 21st century, to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In 17 years, Xu Changan almost forgot that he was a reborn person from being at a loss to being at ease.

"My lantern has already been placed in the Palace of Eternal Life. Don't you know my father? He's been urging me since I haven't entered the palace... Wait until you light the lantern—" An Ziyan who chased after Xu Xu said, Suddenly stuck.

Time turns back to the present.

The son of the General Hussars, Duan Cijue, who was well-known in the capital for his tongue-in-cheek, vicious dislike, and Duan Dagongzi, called Xu Chang'an with great interest.

On the Little Prince's Lantern Prayer Day, the lanterns presented by the disciples of the aristocratic family must of course be lit.Xu Changan's lamp was hidden because there were other articles in it.

If an unlit running lamp is hung in an inconspicuous corner, it may be possible to get away with the excuse that the lamp oil has been burned out. After the prayer lamp is over, and then carry it back, the green dragon lying in the ink pond can be unnoticed. Take it back to the house.

The above is Xu Changan's plan.

But apparently now the plan has run into problems.

Xu Changan imagined that he would meet someone when setting off the lanterns. If it was someone else, he could still make jokes, but it happened to be Duan Cijue, whom he didn't know well at all.

Oh, Duan Cijue still has festivals.

"Why not light it up?" Young Master Duan asked Xu Changan again when he saw that Xu Changan was silent.

"Please don't worry, my lantern has spilled oil." Xu Changan, who was standing on the ladder, prevaricated in a very casual tone without looking back.

Of course Duan Cijue knew that what he said was not true, but he didn't think about Peony.At this moment, a gust of evening wind suddenly blew, Duan Cijue sniffled, and inadvertently smelled a faint scent in the air, his complexion changed immediately.

"You went to Yu Garden?!"

Duan Cijue pointed it out sharply.

Xu Changan turned his head abruptly.

"Young Master Duan told me to look for you very quickly." During the stalemate, a panting and soft voice interjected, "The palace banquet is about to begin, and the general is looking for you. Oh, my poor eyes, Mr. Xu and Mr. An are also looking for you." Here, my little one, please greet the two of you."

Xu Changan: "No, get up."

Hearing this, the little eunuch in Tsing Yi got up numbly.

With outsiders present, it is not a good time to speak.Before Duan Cijue left, he looked at Xu Changan with a complicated expression.

"Let's go too." Disturbed, Xu Changan jumped off the ladder when Duan Cijue, who was following behind the eunuch in Tsing Yi, left.

An Ziyan was uncharacteristically silent.

Xu Changan recalled the rumors in the market, and vaguely guessed the reason.

It's a pity that Xu Chang'an didn't find a chance to ask An Ziyan to confirm the rumors until he took his respective seats.

"The Emperor is here—"

After exchanging greetings in a low voice, the courtiers who were cheering each other immediately fell silent, and the whole hall fell silent.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

Xu Changan, who was sitting in the seat of disciples of the aristocratic family, bowed his waist deeply.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that when the emperor passed by him, he seemed to stay for a long time.

The emperor in red court clothes sat down on the dragon chair and slightly raised his hand: "Please rise, all loves."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Changan straightened his waist.

During the dinner, he heard someone beside him mention the third prince.

"Today is such an important day, why don't you see the third prince?"

"Oh, you don't even know this, the third prince is coming soon..."

The pronunciation of the last three words is too soft, Xu Changan tried hard to distinguish them for a long time, but he could only guess that the last one is about the word "period".

XX period.

"Could it be the estrus period?" Xu Changan thought nonchalantly, and was amused by his unconstrained speculation.

After finally getting through the tasteless palace banquet and praying for lanterns, Xu Changan hurried to the corner of the back door of the Hall of Eternal Life, but was stunned on the spot.

His lantern was gone.
