Princess of the Past and Present

In the early morning of the next day, starting from the palace gate, a group of people headed for Shanglin Garden on the outskirts of the city.

Mo Shuang walked side by side with Mu Jin on the horse, following behind the emperor's horse, and the sixth prince walked a few steps faster to ride alongside Mo Shuang.Looking at Mu Jin with a half-smile, "His Royal Highness wants to bring his own princess with him even for hunting, but is he afraid that the night will be long and there will be no one to accompany him?"

Hearing this, the emperor who was walking in front turned his head back and did not speak.

Just as Mu Jin was about to refute, Mo Shuang spoke first, "I want to come to see and see, so I begged His Highness to let me come with me."

Zhe Kan said with a sneer, "However, it's really rare to hunt with wives and concubines."

Mu Jin immediately said: "My beloved concubine is not a female family member, so what if I come with you?"

Zhe Kan smiled, "That's right, that's right, His Royal Highness's Crown Princess is a man." The word "man" was deliberately emphasized, and the words were full of sarcasm.

Mu Jin stopped responding, Mo Shuang tilted her head slightly, seeing his indifferent face, it seemed that she no longer minded that her princess was a man.

When they arrived at Shanglin Garden, the Imperial Forest Army found an open space to lay pilings and set up camp. The emperor went hunting with several princes and ministers, and Mo Shuang stayed in the camp.

The emperor said, "I will reward those who hunt the most today!"

On the hunting ground, the princes competed to show off, while Zhe Kan insisted on pestering Mu Jin to compete.Mu Jin aimed at the prey, and he shot it faster.

When returning to the camp in the evening, Zhe Kan got four prey, two rabbits, one sika deer, and one pheasant.And Mu Jin only carried a rabbit in his hand.

It's obvious who wins and loses.The emperor greatly praised the sixth prince Zhe Kan in front of everyone.

Mu Jin was a little disappointed, and glanced at Zhe Kan who was smiling like a flower, feeling aggrieved in his heart. He was clearly looking for those prey, but Zhe Kan preempted them.

Mu Jin handed the rabbit ears to the eunuch at the side, walked a few steps forward and raised his head. Mo Shuang was standing in front of the camp, looking over at him, pursing his lips and smiling.

That warm smile warmed Mu Jin's heart, he paused, and walked over, "Where is the tent, I need to change clothes."

"Your Highness is here with the ministers." Mo Shuang brought him into the camp, which was specially set up for the prince, and they would live here during the three days of hunting.

At night, torches were lit everywhere in the tent, as if it were daytime.The emperor held a banquet in the main camp, and Mu Jin and Mo Shuang sat next to the emperor on the lower left.

The emperor first greatly praised the sixth prince Zhe Kan who hunted the most today, "The sixth son performed the best hunting today, and he deserves the reward. I will give you a Hetian jade Ruyi!"

The sixth prince Zhe Kan got up, and an eunuch came forward with a handle of Hetian Yuruyi. Zhe Kan took Yu Ruyi, leaned over and said, "Thank you, father, for your kindness!"

The emperor said again: "General Liu has gained a lot, and I will give you a pair of Linglong cups!"

General Liu stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the rewards that should be rewarded, the emperor looked at Mu Jin again, "The prince's performance is not good today, and he must make up for it tomorrow."

Mu Jin's face darkened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Zhe Kan at the next table raised the corners of his lips proudly.

After the reward, a large number of eunuchs came up with wine and meat, and all the game that was hunted today was placed on the table.Add seasoning and roast it on the fire until it is browned and browned, then cut it into pieces and put it on the plate.

Mu Jin glanced at the table, and there were only a few apples and oranges on the plate that Mo Shuang could eat.He touched an orange from the fruit plate and handed it to Mo Shuang, Mu Jin said: "You eat this."

Mo Shuang took it and held it in his palm.

The emperor saw Mo Shuang who was indifferent to the barbecue at a glance, "Why doesn't the princess eat it, is it not to my appetite?"

Mo Shuang hadn't spoken yet, but Mu Jin was the first to say: "Return to father, Mo Shuang has stomach discomfort recently, and the doctor told me not to get greasy."

"Since you can't eat it, you should have said it earlier." The emperor said to the eunuch standing beside him: "Have someone serve something lighter for the princess."

"The slave will go and order."

Not long after, the eunuch brought a bowl of light porridge, Mo Shuang said thank you, and took a few bites of the porridge.

Back in the tent, Mo Shuang made the bed again.Mu Jin opened the curtain and came back with something wrapped in a leaf.

Mu Jin went to the couch and sat down, stretched out the thing in his hand, "Here's for you."

Mo Shuang looked at the blackened fist-sized thing on the leaf, which was a roasted potato, and reached out to take it, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Mu Jin glanced at his fair and slender hands, and took back the sweet potato on the leaf, "Sit down first."

Mo Shuang sat down on the couch, and Mu Jin peeled the yam in twos and then handed it to him, "Eat."

Mo Shuang glanced at his hand with charcoal ashes, obviously he had put in a lot of effort for this roasted potato.He took it, looked at Mu Jin and asked, "Your Highness, do you want to split it in half?"

Mu Jin gave him a sideways look, "No need, I'm very full."

Candles were burning in the tent, and the two sat on the couch, Mo Shuang was eating roasted sweet potatoes at a leisurely pace, and Mu Jin was sitting upright beside him, occasionally looking sideways.

"Your Highness, the Sixth Prince is asking to see you." The guard outside the tent said against the curtain.

Mu Jin's eyes darkened, "What is he doing here?"

The curtain was raised, revealing Zhe Kan's face, and behind him was a servant from his own house, "This king saw that the princess didn't eat anything at the banquet, so I specially asked someone to stew a pheasant, and served it as a meal. Added some nourishing medicinal materials, the princess has a stomachache, so it is best to eat this."

Mu Jin kept a straight face, Mo Shuang stood up and said, "Your Majesty is worrying."

Zhe Kan stepped closer and saw half of the potato left in Mo Shuang's hand, glanced at Mu Jin, and pretended to be distressed: "Your Highness, will you eat this?"

Mo Shuang responded calmly, "The roasted yam tastes very good. Yin has not eaten it for many years. His Highness learned that Yin was missed, so he roasted some to eat."

Zhe Kan smiled, "Then His Royal Highness is really considerate."

Mu Jin who was standing next to Mo Shuang said leisurely: "For my concubine, I naturally want to be more considerate."

Zhe Kan also felt that he was making fun of himself, "Then I will put down this chicken soup, and the princess can eat some, it is also good for nourishing the stomach."

"Thank you, my lord."

Zhe Kan retreated and turned to go out, Mu Jin called the guard and ordered him to take out the chicken soup and pour it out.

Turning around to look at Mo Shuang, his eyes fell on the half-roasted potato in his hand, "Is it really delicious?"

"Hasn't Your Highness tried it yet?" Mo Shuang asked.

Mu Jin held Mo Shuang's hand, leaned down and took a bite of the roasted potato he had eaten, and began to savor it carefully.

"how?"

Mu Jin chuckled, "It's really unique."

Mo Shuang handed the yam to him, "Do you want to eat again?"

"you eat."

Mo Shuang lowered his head and took a bite, and his chin touched the unpeeled part below, which was stained with black ash. Judging by his appearance, he didn't seem to notice it.Mu Jin looked at him, but smiled.

Mo Shuang stared blankly at Mu Jin who was laughing in front of her, "What's wrong?"

Mu Jin raised his hand and rubbed the black ash with his thumb, "It's stained."

Mo Shuang was slightly taken aback, then pursed her lips and smiled.

The cold wind howled in the late autumn night, and the tent was far less warm than the dormitory in the house. After Mu Jin lay down, his body was still warm, and when he touched Mo Shuang, his hands and feet were cold.

If it wasn't for him still breathing, Mu Jin must have thought that the person lying beside him was not human.

"Turn around." Mu Jin's voice sounded from the quiet tent.

Mo Shuang, who was lying on her side inward, turned around when she heard the words, and turned her sideways outward. Mu Jin stretched out her arms around his waist and let him stick to her body. .

Torches were still lit outside the tent, and some dim light could still see through the tent. Mu Jin opened his eyes and looked at the face that was very close without blinking.

Mu Jin stretched out his hand from under the quilt and caressed his face. The touch was as smooth and delicate as silk. He moved his fingertips between his lips and stroked them lightly.

Withdrawing his hand, he covered his lips, tasting his soft lips tenderly.

In the early morning, a layer of white fluffy frost formed on the withered grass, and it would make a creaking sound when stepped on the ground.There was a white mist in the mountains and forests, and the sun came out late in the east. When the group was ready to go hunting, only half of their faces were exposed.

Zhe Kan came over with a moving rabbit stepping on the frost on the ground, smiling, "Prince Princess got up so early."

Mo Shuang turned to Chen Xi, "It's not too early, my lord."

Zhe Kan gestured to the rabbit in his hand, "I went to the jungle early in the morning and captured a rabbit alive, how about giving it to the princess to keep?"

"Thank you, my lord, Yin has a heart."

Zhe Kan said: "The king remembers that the princess likes rabbits very much. Why, don't you like the one I caught?"

"Why, it's Yin who lacks patience and is not suitable for raising pets."

Zhe Kan smiled, "It's not troublesome to take care of the rabbit." Then, he raised the white rabbit with his legs stretched in his hand, "Look, does it look like the one that the king gave you ten years ago?" rabbit?"

Mo Shuang's face was calm, and Zhe Kan sighed, "Looking at you like this, I'm afraid I don't remember anymore."

It's not that he didn't remember, just now Zhe Kan talked about the rabbit he gave him ten years ago, and Mo Shuang recalled it.Ten years ago, he was only ten years old. Because Mrs. Yin was seriously ill and missed her son who was far away in Lingyun Mountain, someone brought him back.

When Mo Shuang returned to the mansion, he didn't deal with the two elder brothers in the mansion, and read the book by himself.

"Where did the little rabbit look so juicy?" It was a boy in blue clothes who spoke.

Moshuang's elder brother Yin Zhiping said: "It's the third brother of the minister, who was sent to the Taoist temple and was brought back only a few days ago."

The boy in blue bent down and pinched Mo Shuang's face, "This face is really comfortable to touch."

Mo Shuang blocked the blue-clothed boy's hand with a slap, and Yin Zhiping shouted: "This is the sixth prince, why don't you hurry up and make amends!"

Mo Shuang put down the book in her hand and said, "I was rude just now, please forgive me, Your Highness."

The sixth prince Zhe Kan came back to his senses for a long time, and laughed loudly, "Interesting, really interesting, such a small man has a lot of strength."
