Royal rice bug, worm worm!

Wei Yu is very thoughtful.

It was inconvenient for Li Hong and Zheng Jiarou to go to the restaurant, so he asked someone to send the noodles to Hu Xuan Pavilion, and ordered all the dishes on purpose, so that not only would people not guess Li Hong's preferences, but also avoid being cheated by someone who cared. hands and feet.

The extra will not be wasted, just give it to the ladies in the pavilion.

The servants of Hu Xuange were also very considerate, and secretly put together the food table in pairs, so that Li Hong and Zheng Jiarou could sit opposite each other and have a meal together, with Li Xi and Wei Yu next to them.

Zheng Jiarou didn't object, and sat down generously.

Li Hong was smiling all the time, needless to say, the accompanying servants gave a lot of rewards to the whole cabinet.

The dishes have been tested long ago and are safe and non-toxic.

Zheng Jiarou picked up the serving chopsticks and wanted to prepare dishes for Li Hong.

Li Hong pressed down her hand, and used his own chopsticks to pick up a few things for her - some were favorites before, and some were liked after giving birth to Li Xi and their tastes changed.

Zheng Jiarou thanked her softly, her cheeks flushed a little.

Li Xi started to make trouble again, "Brother Shuyun, I want to eat quail eggs too."

Wei Yu smiled and took a piece for him.

Li Xi directly stretched out his mouth, swallowed it in one gulp, and then laughed at Li Hong with sideways eyes: "Brother Shuyun is considerate, just feed it into my mouth."

Li Hongzhen couldn't take it anymore, so he took another piece of grilled fish and fed it to Zheng Jiarou.

Zheng Jiarou looked at him helplessly, as if she was looking at her son.In the end, I still covered it with my sleeve and ate it modestly.

Li Xi clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and had an expression of "you're not tall, look, let me show you".

"Brother Shuyun, I want to eat fish too."

Wei Yu smirked, not only picked up the fish, but also picked off the spines, put the fish back on the plate, dipped it in fish juice, and used the heat of the fish soup to warm the meat before feeding it to Li Xi.

Li Hong: "..."

This time, instead of sandwiching fish, I changed it to sandwich ribs.

After clamping, the brittle bones were removed, the fascia was peeled off, and only the tender shredded meat was sent to Zheng Jiarou's mouth.

Zheng Jiarou looked at him amusedly, "Why are you competing with children?"

"It's not a contest."

I just don't want to be compared.

——Although there is no difference.

Li Hong held it persistently.

Zheng Jiarou shook her head amusedly, bowed her head and ate.

Li Xi was finally satisfied.

That's right, the stinky father has to "blatantly" love his mother in this way, the little lucky bag by the lake is too reserved!

The mother has to gradually get used to being loved by the stinky father, and finally get together, how many 17 years are left to be dragged and consumed?

Wei Yu guessed what Li Xi was thinking, so he cooperated with him.

Li Hong and Zheng Jiarou also understood.

While Li Xi was trying to match them up, why didn't they try to tease Li Xi?

A family is like this, working together towards a beautiful goal, the days will always get better and better.

Today happens to be the Xiayuan Festival.

Some people put river lanterns by the Qujiang Pool, and others played drums and sang requiem songs to pay homage to the dead and ask the water officials to solve their problems.

There will also be a "ghost market" on the riverside, selling river lanterns, incense candles, paper money, and dance masks.

On this day, the curfew will be pushed back two hours.People are not too sad, they mainly pray for blessings.

Wei Yu bought a few Kunhua slave masks, and the family of four put them on their heads, and then changed into ordinary civilian clothes. Just judging by their height and hair color, they looked like a Hu family.

"Do you want to buy a river lantern, sir? It was made by my mother, using the best oil paper, which is strong and beautiful." A childish voice came to my ears.

Li Xi lowered his head and saw that it was a little girl, her head almost reached the base of his thighs, her clothes were patched, but they were washed very cleanly, and the little tunic on the top of her head was tied with a red rope, her face was fair and clean, and her eyes were bright. .

"Yes, I want a few more." Li Xi said simply.

"How many do you want?"

"Six, no, ten!" Li Xi said.

The little baby nodded in surprise, and counted in a childish voice: "One, two, three, five, six, nine, ten..."

Then, pick out twelve for Li Xi.

Li Xi suppressed a smile, and beat Li Hong, "Do you still think I couldn't count when I was young?"

Li Hong pursed his smile, and directly picked up the little baby's basket, "Don't count, I'll take them all."

The little baby thought he was going to rob, and immediately cried in fright, "Don't grab my river lantern, it was tied by mother... Mother was not asleep, it has been tied for a long time..."

Immediately, a bad person came over, staring at Li Hong and said: "How can such a big man bully a child?"

When it was over, he picked up the little baby and coaxed him unskillfully. While coaxing, he looked at Li Hong, "Although you are a barbarian, you don't look like you can't afford to eat or drink. You are just a few river lights. Also worth grabbing?"

It has been many years since anyone cast a blank stare—except for his bad-hearted son—Li Hong didn't know what to say for a while.

Wei Yu stepped forward and took out the goldfish bag from his bosom.

The bad guy was taken aback, "You are Wei..."

"Shut up." Wei Yu interrupted him.

The bad guy nodded hurriedly, and looked at the few people nervously.

Zheng Jiarou squatted in front of the little doll, pinched the handkerchief, and gently wiped away her tears, "This gentleman is not trying to steal your river lantern, but just bought everything you want, so you can go back early and put your mother to sleep up"

The little baby looked at her blankly, "You look good, even better than your mother..."

"Of course, my mother is the most beautiful person in the world." Li Xi also leaned over and hung a string of money on her hand with a smile, "Do you want to count it and see if it is enough?"

The little baby's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded heavily, "We must count!"

There is a lot of money, and it is a long string. The little guy needs to hold it with two hands, but he can't count it this way, and he is reluctant to put it on the ground. After thinking about it, he hangs it around his neck.

Then stretch out your delicate fingers and count one by one: "One, two, three, five, six, nine, ten..."

Li Xi laughed and fell on Zheng Jiarou's shoulder.

Then, Li Hong picked it up and threw it away in disgust.

Li Xi grabbed Wei Yu's belt and continued to laugh, "Brother Shu Yun, am I smarter than this little Douding, am I?"

Wei Yu shunned his fluttering little curly hair and smiled without saying a word.

The bad guy sees those amber eyes through the mask, and then thinks of the "mother" he just called, and suddenly makes a bold guess...

With his neck twisted, he looked at Li Hong in horror.

With his hands behind his back, Li Hong asked in a deep voice, "Do you know this doll?"

"No, I don't know... I just feel that it's not easy for such a small person. A small, villain has eyes that don't know Mount Tai, and offends a nobleman..."

The bad people are cold, and they have already begun to conceive the last words.

Li Hong looked at him, nodded slightly, "Not bad."

After finishing speaking, he carried the river lantern with one hand, took Zheng Jiarou with the other, turned around and left - the hand was stretched out quickly and accurately, and Zheng Jiarou never had a chance to refuse.

Li Xi followed behind tremblingly, covered his mouth, and "secretly laughed" loudly.

Wei Yu patted the villain on the shoulder, "Go home and report the good news. You don't have to go to Wuhou's shop tomorrow, and go directly to Jingzhao Yamen to order!"

Bad people are stupid.

Didn't lose his head, and became a serious official with a salary?

Could it be... the ancestors appeared?

Next to him, the little doll was still counting in a childish voice: "Eighty, ninety, one hundred, one hundred, one hundred..."

What is after one hundred?

Mother never taught it!

One after another lotus lanterns floated on the river, and the dots of candlelight reflected the sparkling water, like tiny stars scattered on the dark sky.

The family of four found a secluded place and wrote the names of the people they cared about in the wicks.

Li Hong wrote about King Ding.

The word "Li Zhen" is not complicated, but he paused several times before writing it.

The river lantern was put into the gurgling water, and the thoughts and blessings in my heart drifted away slowly.

Li Hong turned his back to his wife and children, and did not turn around for a long time.

Next to it, someone built a small "stage" with stones, and a masked lady was singing "Requiem".

A circle of people stood around, listening quietly.

The tune is very beautiful, there is no sadness, only prayer.

The listener is also smiling.

After the river lantern was put down, I could no longer cry.

After one song, no one came to the stage for the time being.

Zheng Jiarou stood on the stone platform, looked at Li Hong's back, and said softly: "I have lived in Nandi for several years, so let me sing a song from Nandi. rest in peace."

Li Hong turned around, unable to hide his surprise.

Behind the mask, Zheng Jiarou smiled at him and began to sing slowly...

When she sang, her voice was not as soft as when she spoke, but clear and melodious, as fresh and energetic as a girl.

Li Xi unconsciously grabbed Wei Yu's hand.

He never knew that his mother could also sing.

She sang it for Daddy's sake.

Such a person who doesn't like to show off is just to make the smelly father happy.

At this moment, Li Xi suddenly understood that this is the way they love each other.

They don't know how to hold hands and walk, and they don't know how to feed each other to show affection, but they will stand up without hesitation when the other party needs it.

Just like the lucky bag by the lake, it is not hypocritical or courageous, but a reserved romance that belongs to them alone.

When returning to the palace, the family of four tacitly divided into two groups.

Li Hong sent Zheng Jiarou back to the mansion, and Wei Yu sent Li Xi back to Changle Palace.

Along the way, Li Xi didn't let go of Wei Yu's hand.

Perhaps because of listening to his mother's "Requiem", his heart has become very soft today, and he needs someone to become a hard shell to accompany him by his side.

Walking to the gate of Changle Palace, Li Xi cleverly said to Wei Yu: "Brother Shuyun sends me off every time, so I will also send you off once. I will come back after sending you to the palace, okay?"

In fact, I just want to spend more time with him.

It would be even better if he could take the initiative to keep him in Fu Wang's mansion.

Wei Yu didn't pierce his small thoughts, "Then thank you, Chong Chong."

Li Xi leaned on his lap with a smile, "You don't need to be so polite."

So, the eunuchs watched the green ox cart circle around in front of the palace gate, and then watched it go out...

what's the situation?

Their mouth shapes are all ready, and they are waiting to greet the little prince!

In front of Prince Fu's Mansion.

Li Xi blinked his moist eyes, and hinted vaguely: "I haven't come back for a few days, is the wintersweet blooming in our yard okay?"

Wei Yu smiled: "Well, it's good, I'll cut a few branches and send them to you tomorrow."

The corner of Li Xi's mouth twitched, and he continued, "Well... are the little parrots okay? Without me feeding and watering them, can they still eat?"

Wei Yu continued to laugh: "There is no Chongchong to poke them with a stick, and they no longer have to scold 'little prince, big villain' in anger - they can read "Poetry" instead."

Li Xi: "..."

The hint couldn't go through, and he simply stated: "It's getting so dark, the palace gates are closed, brother Shuyun, don't you have anything to say to me?"

"Then go back quickly, and I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

Li Xi stared, "No more?"

"Have."

His eyes lit up, "Speak quickly!"

"I will remember to bring the winter plum."

Li Xi: "..."

"Snail, let's go!"

Whoever wants to share the bed is a puppy!

After returning to Changle Palace and taking a bath, Li Xi was still full of anger.

It's been so long no, no palm, brother Shuyun doesn't want to?Only... Only himself... Do you really want to?

I was so engrossed in thinking that I accidentally tripped.

Then, fell into a familiar embrace.

The corners of Li Xi's mouth curled up, and he tried to pretend to be disdainful, "Come and share the bed with me?"

"Ah."

"puppy."
