Brother Donggong

I suddenly opened my eyes.

Inside the dormitory, there are three layers of curtains hanging on the inside and three layers outside. It is dark, and it is not clear what time it is.

My mouth is not dry, but it has a bitter taste, as if I was fed those herbal soups when I fell asleep, it was bitter and astringent, very annoying.

Suddenly, the curtain in front of me was completely pulled back, and the sky was bright outside. In the garden, except for the evergreen pines and cypresses and the holly plants, all the fallen leaves had fallen, and the branches appeared bare, so I could see the sky very clearly.

I have a random feeling that I don't know what year it is.

Naturally, someone came to wait for me to get up.

It's that little eunuch holding a small chessboard, what's his name... Yuan Xin.

After I took a bath, my whole body was as comfortable as a puddle of mud. Yuan Xin wiped my hair with a large silk scarf, while I got dressed and sat on the edge of the bed waiting for dinner.

Suddenly I felt a little strange, so I asked him, "Where is the prince?"

Yuan Xin said quickly, "His Royal Highness is in the study."

"Is something wrong?"

"Yes." Yuan Xin's voice was pleasant and gentle, "Chu Xiang is here."

I was dumbfounded for a moment, and then I remembered that Chu Xiang was Chu Qiangsheng.He's been promoted, but I'm still not used to people changing his address.

At this time the food was served, I took a look and was a little angry, plus helpless.

Congee and side dishes.

White rice porridge with very delicate pickled side dishes.

Lotus root slices, small melon wrapped with assorted vegetables, eggplant, cowpea, ginseng, and a plate of radishes.

No matter how delicate the vegetables are, they are still vegetables, and they cannot be turned into pork!

"My lord, this is prepared by His Highness the Crown Prince's meticulous instructions to the kitchen... You should try it quickly. This is a very famous pickled melon in Yongjing. The vegetables are freshly grown in the late summer, and the clear spring water from Nanshan, The mellow sweet sauce, and..."

Yuan Xin talked very lively, like the enthusiastic waiter in the restaurant outside Yongjing.

I reluctantly picked up the bowl and ate two mouthfuls, feeling like I was practicing in Pilu Temple in Nanshan.

I pouted my mouth a few times, and suddenly looked at Yuan Xin with the bowl in my hand.

Yuan Xin immediately said, "My lord, don't look at your servants like this...why, don't these side dishes suit your lord's taste? These are all carefully prepared by His Royal Highness..."

I said, "Can I have a roast chicken?"

I barely drank half a bowl of rice porridge, and suddenly remembered, I asked him again, "Where's Liu Congrong? Usually he's busy, why haven't I seen anyone today? Is he also in the study?"

Yuan Xin did not speak.

I said again, "Oh, I'm just asking casually. If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Yuan Xin pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Senior brother is in the front flower hall, and there are guests coming."

"Who is it?"

I picked a pickled cucumber to eat, and at the same time I was a little puzzled.

Liu Congrong personally accompanied him, Yuan Xin seemed hesitant, and the confidantes of the Eastern Palace were chattering one by one, wondering which god came to visit?

When I was full, I leaned on the soft pillow and patted my stomach, feeling extremely satisfied.

Yuan Xin asked people to clean up all the leftovers, and said, "My lord, do you want to see a shadow puppet show? The slave girl asked two people to come over and perform it for you?"

I hurriedly got up, grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on, and walked to the flower hall.

"I eat too much, I'll walk around to digest and digest. You can do whatever you need to do."

Yuan Xin had a face full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to stop me.

I took a small path to the front flower hall, winding up from the rocky path over there, passed the promenade, the lake, and then climbed the steps from the ground floor of the small study room to the "Yanyu Pavilion" behind the front flower hall - Dafan Water The attics next to it are damp and hazy, with a lot of water vapor, and they are all shrouded in it, so these attics are called by this name, which is vulgar and easy to remember.Like the name 'Xiao Canglang' in my palace, with the charm of the Book of Songs, it is simply a stroke of genius. From here, I saw Liu Congrong sitting on a rosewood chair over there, and there was a person sitting opposite him, snow blue His long gown, with a white sable fur around the collar, set off his eyes, which seemed to be pale gray, and his thin cheeks were as smooth as jade.

Beside his hand was his robe, and a rosewood food box.

He said, "Eunuch Liu, I have never stopped you when you came to Qi Wang's Mansion. You are served with good tea, and Huang Zongchang, the chief manager of the Wang Mansion, is with you, and you have never dared to neglect. Why do you push three times and four times when you come to Xiaoxing Palace? Me, don't let me see our prince?"

But Liu Congrong said, "Young Master Lian, please be safe, I have already asked the prince to come over."

"is it?"

Liu Congrong stopped talking.

"If you don't talk, it's a lie. Mr. Liu, everyone said that the prince's laws are strict and narrow. Seeing you today, you really deserve your reputation."

Liu Congrong said with some disdain, "Young Master Lian,...some things can be said, but some things...are not allowed!"

My little grandfather!

How dare he come here and talk nonsense to Liu Congrongjing? ! !

Just as I was about to step in, I saw Xiao Lian turn her wrist and put the teacup in her hand on the table next to her. On one side of her cheek, a lock of hair was untied and slipped down her face.His gray eyes were as cold as ice. When he saw me, he suddenly smiled, like a snow lotus blooming on the Tianshan Mountains.

I hurriedly opened the door and walked in, "Xiao Lian, why are you here?"

He turned around and stood up, looking at me with a fixed smile, "Chengyi, I brought you a big bun."
