Many years ago, Lu Xiao thought that he and Lu Xuehen would live an ordinary life.When he first moved to Chang'an, he was only nine years old, thin and small, and a grown man could lift him up with one hand.The gentle and virtuous lady next door made syrup and brought two bowls to the house. Lu Xiao would pester Lu Xuehen and ask, brother, why don't you find me a gentle sister-in-law.

Lu Xuehen always said that there was no rush, he didn't want to delay the girls.

The little monkey who wandered around the streets and alleys all day grinned at him: "The oil bottle! You are an oil bottle!"

Lu Xiao stood at the base of the wall in a daze, rushed forward and beat the little monkey who was taller than him until he cried for his father and mother. After returning home, he shrank into a ball and cried loudly.

When Lu Xuehen came back, he saw a milk doll with disheveled hair and tear-stained face standing on tiptoe on a stool to pack a small bundle.Without saying a word, Lu Xuehen walked over to hold him down, wiped his face little by little, and asked him what's wrong in a gentle voice.

Little Lu Xiao couldn't help crying again, sobbing and saying, "Brother, I'm leaving."

Miserable and wronged, Lu Xuehen let him sit on his lap with a sigh, and said, "Don't cry, where is Xiao'er going?"

How could she know how to hide her emotions when she was young? After being coaxed by her elder brother for a few words, she lost her secrets. Lu Xiao grabbed his skirt and wept: "Xiao'er can't drag brother down, brother is looking for a wife."

Lu Xuehen frowned, and asked the truth coaxingly and deceitfully, then curled up her thin lips, and stroked his head comfortingly: "My brother is only twenty, what kind of relationship is he, and my brother still wants to grow up with Xiao'er, Nothing else matters."

Lu Xiao wiped away her tears, and said while sobbing, "But Sister Feng is only seventeen, and she already has a baby."

Sister Feng was the lady next door who gave him sugar water to drink.

At the age of ten, I can't be ignorant of personnel forever.Lu Xuehen said to him calmly: "Xiao'er, girls can get married when they are fifteen, and men can get married when they are twenty, and my brother just wants to live with you now, not get married. Remember, you will never be nothing." Oil bottle."

Forever, such words are out of reach for the young Lu Xiao.

But he kept these words firmly in his heart. One year, five years, ten years passed, there were many girls who wanted to be his sister-in-law, but without exception, they were politely rejected by Lu Xuehen.Occasionally, Lu Xiao secretly plans the future in her heart. Her elder brother saved his life and raised him, so he can just grow old with Lu Xuehen.

The sky is always unsatisfactory, he had to accept the departure of his relatives without realizing it, the years seemed to be a reincarnation, and now Lu Xiao stood in front of a young man, watched him read, taught him how to make Fu, and said something similar to him And completely different reasoning.

A few years ago, it was the company that melted in the flesh and blood bit by bit, but now it is just that I have the emperor's life, so I have to do it.

In the past, he was accompanied by the emperor during the confinement, but now even the prince sees him every day, and no one is looking for his bad luck. Perhaps no one in the court thinks that the fourth prince has the possibility of inheriting the throne, so poor Lu Xiao Such a bad errand is more or less the same.

The small kitchen in Chongyu Palace cooks Pingzhou cuisine, and the chef is sent by Concubine Shu from her natal family to serve the fourth prince, and she cooks good soup.The fourth prince is about to turn fifteen, so Lu Xiao is naturally not a companion, and I don't know what name Emperor Yunkang gave him, so that he can go in and out of Chongyu Palace on his own, even lunch here these days of.

Lu Xiao lowered his eyebrows. The fine clothes and food in the palace may not be good. He still wants to go back to the square inch of his home and make himself a bowl of sweet lotus seed soup.

Osmanthus osmanthus is in full bloom, and the fragrance in the courtyard lasts for a long time, and the hall can also be contaminated a little bit.Suddenly, a loud bang disturbed Lu Xiao's thoughts. He raised his eyes and saw that Xie Shenshou lost his temper and threw the paperweight heavily on the ground.

Xie Shenshou's facial features are only three points smaller than that of Emperor Yunkang, but he is far more like the royal family than the second prince.For no other reason, when he was silent, it was exactly the same as Emperor Yunkang's expression of accumulating anger in the court hall.

I can see it, and I am afraid that my son will fail?

The little eunuch standing at the back immediately bent down, Lu Xiao stretched out her hand to signal him to step back, picked up the paperweight herself, put it in its place, and said slowly, "Your Highness, don't slip your hands."

Xie Shenshou smiled on his calm face, pointed to his hair and said, "It's messed up, help me comb it again."

He would always use what these palace people did to bury Lu Xiao, but Lu Xiao couldn't do anything, he could do martial arts and fight, he could live in the Palace of Qinzheng, and he could nest in the kitchen and make soup.It's just combing your hair, what's wrong with it?

Xie Shenshou is still a young man who has not reached the crown, so he can't talk about combing his bun, just smoothing out his half-loose long hair.But when Lu Xiao's fingers covered his hair, Xie Shenshou stamped his feet and stood up instead.

Lu Xiao's hands were stuck in the air, and the next moment, she naturally put the wooden comb on the table and blinked: "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

He looked at Xie Shenshou flattered and humiliated, which made the young man feel unreasonable anger.

On the first day Lu Xiao came to Chongyu Palace, Xie Shenshou gave him a cold bench and asked him to stand in the courtyard for half a day.But instead of being annoyed, Lu Xiao even enjoyed the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

After all, Emperor Yunkang personally selected him. On the fourth day, Lu Xiao finally had to enter the main hall, and Xie Shenshou sat by the desk and asked the little eunuch to play chess with him.Lu Xiao still looked like he didn't care about anything, until Concubine Shu sent someone to see what he was doing, and he had to sit obediently at the table and read.

From time to time, he was thirsty and called Lu Xiao to bring him tea, but after a while he became tired again and asked Lu Xiao to turn the pages for him.

When will this person be unable to bear the humiliation and ask to leave?

It's a pity that before this day came, Xie Shenshou couldn't help but asked, "Why aren't you annoyed that I've sent you on such a mission?"

It can be said that he is a fourth-rank official, but he is not as relaxed as a little eunuch.It's not that he has never met someone who can bear it. There was once a boy from an official family who was two years older than him. The hatred in his eyes was almost turning into a sharp knife, and he still had a smile on his face.The palace is the place where people can get a glimpse of people's hearts. Xie Shenshou could tell that Lu Xiao didn't care at all.

Xie Shenshou couldn't figure it out.

Human relationships are cold and warm, right and wrong, Lu Xiao has long passed the age of rushing to fight when he hears something that doesn't go his way, and he also came here year by year. It's not hard to guess what a boy at Xie Shenshou's age is thinking, and it's impossible Get angry with him.

Lu Xiao smiled: "Why should I be annoyed?"

The atmosphere stagnated, Lu Xiao straightened her back, straightened her crimson official uniform, and said to Xie Shenshou with a smile: "It's getting late, I should go back, so I bid farewell to Your Highness. I will take a rest tomorrow, and I won't come here either." Bother His Majesty."

Xie Shen stood up abruptly: "You haven't answered my question yet!"

Lu Xiao didn't stop walking, and quickly left Chongyu Palace.

Maybe the next time you come here, Xie Shenshou's attitude will change a lot.

It was not yet noon when he stepped out of the palace gate, I'm afraid Xie Shenshou would lose his head and never realize that Lu Xiao was in a hurry to leave because he wanted to go home and cook.The dishes of Chongyu Palace's private kitchen are very rich, but the taste is too salty. It is really difficult to deal with Lu Xiao, who has a sweet tooth by nature and even puts two spoonfuls of rock sugar in Dongpo meat.

It so happened that two days ago he and Qi Jiansi boasted that he went down to Haikou again, declaring convincingly that although his knife skills are lacking, he is definitely not comparable to the banquets in restaurants, but as long as he can name home-cooked dishes, they can be whole. do it.

This is true. Lu Xuehen never touches the spring water. Before Lu Xiao was 12 years old, the two of them were making do with each other. Later, the family became richer, and Lu Xiao gradually grew up without a teacher. He learned how to fry and cook by himself, and for a while he even threatened to open a restaurant, even Quan Chang'an's restaurant couldn't compete with his business.

On the same day, he got carried away and cut his finger, so he let it go.

So Lu's unique craft was hidden in the alley like this. For decades, besides himself, there was only one diner, Lu Xuehen, and now a second one was finally ushered in.

As for Lu Xiao's ability to cook, Qi Jiansi was not too surprised.When he first visited Lu's small courtyard a year ago, he had already thought of this.

But Lu Xiao's craftsmanship is really good.

As soon as the chopsticks were put down here, Lu Xiao couldn't wait to ask him for credit: "How about it, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Qi Jiansi nodded, cherishing words like gold and said: "En."

After getting the affirmation, Lu Xiao touched her belly contentedly, and fell on the couch in a crooked manner.Qi Jiansi gave him a sideways look, Lu Xiao scratched her head, and sat up slowly.

Qi Jiansi used this silent threat without any mistakes.

Qi Jiansi got up to clean up the dishes for Lu Xiao, and reservedly cared about his situation with the Fourth Prince: "Did Chongyu Palace make things difficult for you?"

"Pour tea when I'm thirsty, write for me when I'm tired, and comb my hair when I'm sleepy." Lu Xiao leaned back, rolled over, stood up, and walked towards him, "That's all it is, it's not a problem."

Qi Jiansi held the hand of the bowl for a while, and said: "This is what the palace people do. He abuses you so much, you don't have to follow him in everything. Even if His Majesty knew about it, he would not take such a trivial matter." embarrassing you."

"Don't pack it up, just put it there first."

Lu Xiao yawned, dragged him through the inner courtyard, and sat down in her room before teasing him with a smile: "Can Master Qi also do chores like washing dishes?"

"..." Qi Jiansi was silent, "I haven't washed it, but I've seen it. It looks very simple."

Lu Xiao raised one of his fingers, and lightly touched the thin callus that had been formed by holding the pen all the year round.

"Don't touch it." Qi Jiansi withdrew his hand uncomfortably. Ever since Lu Xiao opened up with him that day, she has become more like a child, and getting along with him is much closer than before.

His mother hadn't hugged him since he was ten years old, let alone his father who could only test his studies.In the past, when he saw Lu Xiao and Ning Huai sticking together, and when Ning Du went to court with Ning Du, he was always a little envious when he heard Ning Du talk about his well-behaved younger brother.Now Lu Xiao's stickiness is all given to him, it's true that he's not used to it, and it's true that he's flattered.

Lu Xiao was kind, sat down obediently, and said solemnly: "I know it well, the Fourth Highness is a child's heart, not to mention, I am still very good at dealing with children. You see, from this little radish at home to Ning I can take care of that little Yuanxiao in Huai, and even your family's Mengye."

Little radish head, little Yuanxiao, what are these names.

Qi Jiansi laughed and said, "How old are you older than them?"

This sentence accurately hit Lu Xiao's sore feet, causing him to puff up his cheeks and retort: ​​"You are only two years older than me."

Qi Jiansi raised his chin, and turned to say: "I heard that the day before yesterday, the Qintian Supervisor calculated the auspicious day for the crown prince."

——The implication is that Xie Shenshou might go to war in Chongyu Palace, so it's better to tell Lu Xiao to be careful.

"I know, I hung it as a mural in the Hall of Qinzheng that day." Lu Xiao folded her arms together, and looked at Qi Jiansi with a hint of determination in her eyes: "I think he is looking forward to this day coming soon, the sooner The better."

Qi Jiansi thought he was talking about Xie Shenxing, but he didn't know that Lu Xiao was talking about Xie Shenshou.

An established matter, choosing a date is just a good sign.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, Emperor Yunkang made the canonization ceremony public.The second prince is the best choice in terms of age and talent. Emperor Yunkang's meaning is on this, and his mother's family has a deep foundation. Naturally, there is no one in the court, and the congratulatory gifts are flowing every day. Send it to the palace.

Picking and picking, I picked the second day of October.There is still nearly a month to go, it is really a bit hasty, I don't know what Emperor Yunkang is thinking.Everything was complicated, Cui Yu said something in front of Emperor Yunkang, and then sent Lu Xiaola to the Hanlin Academy to make up for it.Lu Xiao was also so happy. Although she was immersed in documents all day long, it would be good if she didn't have to make false claims with the emperor and his son.

After staying up like this day and night for a month, until Xie Shenxing became a certain prince, Lu Xiao was finally able to rest at home.

As soon as he was free, it reminded him that he hadn't been to Chongyu Palace for a while, and it was time to go to the palace.

Xiao Huangmen naturally knew him, led by the little eunuch, Lu Xiao just entered the gate of Chongyu Palace.
