my princess boy

In the early morning, Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang entered the palace in a carriage.

Concubine Chen sent someone to say that the small kitchen made Mu Xianyi's favorite snow plum milk cake and lactose real snow today, and asked the couple to come to the palace to taste it.Mu Xianyi has been a glutton since he was a child. He eats a lot in the palace, and he can't bear to ask for all kinds of fresh food. Among them, the two favorites are Xuemei milk cake and lactose real snow.

Both of these can only be made when it snows. As for Xuemei milk cake, flour, milk, and plums are used to make cakes, and then ice cubes are crushed into snow-like powder. Drizzle it on top, when you eat it, it is sweet and sour, with a milky aroma, and it is both ice and fire, not to mention how exciting it is.Lactose real snow is similar to it. You pour hot cane syrup mixed with crispy cheese on the crushed ice foam, and eat it immediately with a spoon. It is sweet and fragrant, just like eating snow, which is very suitable for the occasion.

But winter is too cold, you can't eat more of this kind of food, and drink a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold before eating.Mu Xianyi was greedy and never cared about these things. As soon as he heard that his mother and concubine did these things, he immediately asked Ling Xuetang to enter the palace together.

Fortunately, Changxin Gongdilong was burning very warmly. Concubine Chen specially added two charcoal basins for the young couple. The room was as warm as spring, and even the lilies placed in the window were blooming. Mu Xianyi took off The heavy mink fur brocade jacket, eating lactose Zhenxue is a joy to eat.

Seeing his appearance, Ling Xuetang couldn't help laughing: "Princess's appearance made the empress look at it, thinking that our Zhen Guogong's mansion didn't let you eat enough."

Concubine Chen said: "Where will it be? You can see that he has gained a lot of weight, so you can know how the food in the Duke's Mansion is. If you continue to eat like this, you will become a big fat man!"

Mu Xianyi ate the ice, breathed out, and said, "Where is the fat, why didn't I notice it! Concubine, don't scare me!"

Concubine Chen smiled and spat: "Your son-in-law knows best whether you are fat or not, you can ask him!"

Mu Xianyi immediately turned his head and asked Ling Xuetang: "Son-in-law, tell me, have I gained weight? Hmm?"

Ling Xuetang looked at him seriously, and said, "No, I see you every day, and I can't tell if you've ever gained weight."

These words did not please Mu Xianyi, he pouted unhappily: "Hmph, I'll ask Lou Yuzhang later!"

Concubine Chen and Ling Xuetang both smiled helplessly and dotingly.

The three chatted and laughed a few times, and Concubine Chen talked about the Queen and her father, Marquis Wenchang Zhu Shen, with a serious expression on her face:

"Since the crown prince was abolished, the queen has made up the idea of ​​the ninth prince, and wanted to bring the ninth prince from Li Zhaorong to raise her under her knees... The eighth prince is already ten years old, and the ninth prince is only five years old, so she should be closer to her. "

Mu Xianyi stopped eating the snow plum milk cake, widened his eyes and said, "Will Li Zhaorong agree?"

"Of course I don't want to. I am pregnant with a child in October, but the queen wants it, so what reason does she have to refuse?" Concubine Chen said, stretching out her hands to brush her temple hair, her eyes fell on Mu Xianyi's face, He said meaningfully, "So in the palace, it's good to have a son, but it's more expensive to be a mother than a son. Maybe you can't give birth, and whether you can raise it by yourself is a big problem."

Mu Xianyi naturally understood the meaning of her words, the corners of her lips raised, and she blinked at her: "Fortunately, my concubine gave birth to me. Although I am not a prince, my father still likes me, right?"

Saying that, she winked at Ling Xuetang again, Ling Xuetang smiled, and stretched out her hand to pinch his cheek.

Concubine Chen said with a smile: "Still talking, you monkey spirit, how much thought did it take me to raise you?"

"Hey hey." Mu Xianyi stuck out his tongue at her.

The young couple ate their lunch and talked with Concubine Chen for a while, and they left the palace and went home when Concubine Chen was about to take a lunch break.

"This snow plum milk cake, I will bring it back to my mother-in-law and young master Yu to taste later, they will definitely like it." Mu Xianyi bounced around Ling Xuetang, his little face was full of excitement, "Speaking of Yu Young master, what is his background? He can afford such an expensive piano as Feng Xisheng, and I can see that his overall demeanor doesn't look like a man raised by ordinary people."

Ling Xuetang held his hand tightly, afraid of slipping and falling, and said: "According to my elder brother, he came from a merchant family in Jiangxia, and his family was engaged in Yangtze River water transport, so he was very rich."

"Oh, no wonder, then it's no surprise that he's well-informed." Mu Xianyi said with emotion, after thinking about it, he added, "It's amazing that he was born in a merchant with such a magnanimity and strength of character. .”

"Yeah." Ling Xuetang also had a good impression of Yu Wanyan, "He and elder brother met in Yangzhou four years ago, and later elder brother received a letter from his father asking him to go back to Kyoto to get married, so the two separated."

"I see……"

"oops!"

A child's voice came, and Mu Xianyi hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw a boy not far in front of him, who fell to the ground at once, lying on the ground with red eye circles, he hurriedly pulled Ling Xuetang forward, and pulled him Pull it up and look, isn't this his eighth emperor brother Mu Jingheng (héng)?

"Jing Heng? Why are you here?"

Mu Jingheng was only 11 years old after the new year. He was not tall and wore very little clothes. He looked very similar to Emperor Zhang Wu. He looked down at his dirty hands and then at Mu Xianyi. His eyes were red and he almost She shed tears and said, "I'm going to see my father!"

"What's wrong?" Mu Xianyi asked with concern.

Mu Jingheng pursed his lips tightly, with childish stubbornness, and anger and grievance in his eyes: "They bullied my mother and concubine!"

Mu Xianyi wanted to ask more questions, but saw a maid who looked like a nursing mother hurried over, saw Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang, blessed her body, and said:

"I've seen the princess and the son-in-law. The eighth prince is ignorant. You two will laugh at me. Let me take him back!"

"Wait a minute." Mu Xianyi grabbed Mu Jingheng's hand, and looked at the wet nurse sharply, "The Eighth Emperor said that someone bullied Zhou Jieyu, what exactly is going on?"

When Mu Jingheng saw Mu Xianyi's appearance, he hurriedly fled behind Mu Xianyi, ignoring that his hands were still dirty, grabbed Mu Xianyi's cloak, and shouted loudly: "Sister Huang, save me, she hit me , twisted me, and bullied my concubine mother, she was sent by Concubine Mei!"

The wet nurse's face changed when she heard this. Seeing that the chill on Mu Xianyi's face became heavier, she hurriedly squeezed out a flattering smile, and said, "The eighth prince speaks like a child, don't take it seriously, my servant, how dare you treat me like this?" The Eighth Prince..."

"That's what she did to me!" Mu Jingheng said loudly, pulling his sleeve with one hand, revealing a section of his not-so-strong arm. It was bruised and purple, and it was obvious that it was caused by external force.

When Mu Xianyi and Ling Xuetang saw each other, their faces were one sided. Ling Xuetang took a step forward and stretched out her hand to protect Mu Jingheng behind her. Mu Xianyi was so angry that she didn't stay together, and scolded the nurse: "Shameless old slave, How dare you treat the prince harshly! Come here, put him in custody, and come with me to see the emperor!"

"Princess, princess, please spare me, princess..."

Mu Xianyi was unmoved, and exchanged a glance with Ling Xuetang, leading them forward in a tacit understanding.
