Raiders of the demon concubine who crossed
Chapter 24 Drunkenness
Prince Rui's Mansion.
It's hot these few days, Dandelion will order someone to bring an ice basin to Aoshuang Courtyard at night.Ru Tie asked Xuan Liang about the ice-making process. In cold weather, the well water was put in tanks and frozen outside the house, and then put into the ice cellar of the palace. It was used when needed in summer. The inventory is limited, so you have to save some, as there are usually no servants.
There was no air-conditioning in ancient summers, and the greenhouse effect was not as severe as in modern times. At the hottest time, it was estimated to be 35 to [-] degrees. Basins are naturally more comfortable.
This ice is frozen from well water, which means it can be eaten... Ru Tie was fascinated by looking at a basin of unmelted ice cubes. They were all placed in his room anyway. Did they melt or eat them in the end? No one will know.
It was at this time that Prince Rui hadn't appeared yet, so he probably wouldn't be here tonight.Ru Tie, a carp, sprang up from the bed and walked around the room. Strawberries are only available in early summer, and now there is only a bunch of purple grapes. Ru Tie peeled and removed the seeds from the grapes, chopped them with a sharp knife, He also found a crystal plate, took some pieces of ice out of the ice basin, put them in the plate, smashed the ice with the tip of a knife, and finally mixed with crushed grapes. After a long time, he finally made a simple bowl of grape shaved ice. alright.
All the hardships are all for the enjoyment of this moment, Ru Tie is holding the shiny small plate, and he just licked it, when he heard someone outside the window saying: "It's late at night, what are you doing?"
As soon as Ru Tie turned his head, Mu Chengyuan put his hands on the window sill and jumped in.
Ru Tie: "..."
He glanced at the deadbolt suspiciously to make sure he hadn't locked the door.
Taking advantage of his inattention, Mu Chengyuan snatched the plate of shaved ice from him, and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"This is... um, I brought it here to eat when it was too hot. It's just ice from an ice basin, so it can't be bad, right?"
Ru Tie always felt that His Highness Prince Rui's words and deeds were a little wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
Mu Chengyuan squinted his eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything, and said, "Is it delicious?"
Ru Tie: "..."
Your Highness, have you been possessed by Mu Chenghuan? !
Although complaining in his heart, Ru Tie still said honestly: "It's delicious, and it's very refreshing. I love this the most in summer."
"Oh."
With lightning speed, Mu Chengyuan picked up the small wooden spoon that was left in the plate like iron, dug a spoonful of ice and put it into his mouth.
"It's so cold..."
He had never eaten ice before, and he was terribly frozen all of a sudden, and when he raised his eyes, there was a flash of moist light in his eyes.
Ru Tie:? ? ? ?
Something is wrong, why do you feel that Mu Chengyuan's personality has changed drastically?Could this man have schizophrenia?
Ru Tie hurried forward to snatch the precious shaved ice and hugged it in his arms. He lied casually and said, "This is only eaten in the common people's homes. It's normal that His Highness is not used to it."
I heard that the stomachs of these noble masters are very delicate. In summer, they can only use some fruits soaked in well water at most. How can they eat ice directly?
Mu Chengyuan came over and said, "Well, it's delicious."
Ru Tie: "..."
His dog's nose smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and suddenly realized: "Your Highness, have you been drinking?"
"Yes." Mu Chengyuan nodded docilely: "Today, the imperial grandmother left a meal, and later went to the Yongchang Hou Mansion with my aunt, and had a few drinks with Yunxi."
It turned out that I didn't see anyone all night because I went to drink with Yun Meiren, and it seemed that I drank a lot...
Ru Tie thought, I don't know if shaved ice can relieve the hangover?No matter how iced water is, it is still H2O, so it cannot react chemically with alcohol.
Mu Chengyuan said: "Tomorrow, I will go to the battlefield."
Ru Tie:? ? ?
Has there been a war recently?I haven't heard of it!
Ru Tie tentatively said: "Why is Your Highness going to the battlefield?"
"It's the emperor's will." Mu Chengyuan smiled brightly all of a sudden: "He wants me to earn the throne by myself, and I'm not allowed to compete with the emperor's brother."
Ru Tie was stunned, what kind of throne did he earn?Isn't Mu Chengyuan already crowned king?
Shouldn't it be...
Ru Tie slowly said: "Your Highness, um, sorry to bother you, what's your year... that Gui Geng?"
Mu Chengyuan said: "Fifteen."
Oh, it turned out that after drinking a drink, he came back to life!
Ru Tie secretly smiled: "Then His Highness is one year younger than me!"
Mu Chengyuan pinched his face, and said seriously: "Don't make trouble. When I come back, I will marry you."
Cute little drunk!Ru Tie's little heart trembled, and he almost lost his temper with laughter: "You married me?? Can Your Highness recognize who I am?"
Mu Chengyuan took a closer look at him, and finally realized that something was wrong: "You are Qingyi's servant?"
Ru Tie: "..."
You're tall, I'm obviously your son!
Ru Tie took Mu Chengyuan with one hand, sat down with the shaved ice in the other, and asked, "Who is Qingyi?"
At least in Prince Rui's residence, they haven't heard of someone named Qing Yi, so they gossiped, could it be Prince Rui's sweetheart?
"Qing Yi is..."
Mu Chengyuan paused, then said with a smile: "I won't tell you that it's my princess."
Ru Tie gritted his teeth, this IQ is still fifteen, I think you are only five years old, right?
As we all know, Prince Rui did not marry a wife, so the princess Qingyi mentioned at [-] o'clock must be the fiancée who was killed by Beiyan people.
The 15-year-old Mu Chengyuan would never have expected that his fiancée would die tragically in the future...
Moreover, it was helpless to go to the battlefield at a young age. It was forced by the emperor, and the emperor didn't even give this boy a chance.
Alas, deep down in Ru Tie's heart he felt sorry for him, some nerve touched the thread, he took his arm, and said seriously: "Your Highness, no matter what happens in the future, you must be well..."
Mu Chengyuan supported his forehead with his hands, the feeling of being drunk was not pleasant, after the feeling of dizziness passed, he had a splitting headache.Even if he listened to Ru Tie's call for a while, he would probably forget it all when he woke up.
"No." Mu Chengyuan suddenly raised his head, his gaze turned cold, "Qingyi never speaks like this, who are you?"
"what??"
Ru Tie has a headache, why is His Highness Prince Rui becoming smarter now?
Thinking of the shaved ice in his hand, he became very playful and tapped the crystal dish with a small spoon: "Hmph, you saw through it! Actually, I'm a melon eater, and I'm here to sell shaved ice. Do you want shaved ice, Your Highness?" ?”
Mu Chengyuan: "..."
His Royal Highness Prince Rui is ill.
In fact, it was just because of the cold food after drinking that he felt a little unwell, he would be fine after drinking a few soups and resting for a day or two, Prince Rui knew medicine himself, and the herbal medicines in the mansion were all ready-made, so there was nothing wrong with it, he couldn't stand being bullied by the dandelion When the bulletin entered the palace, the whole palace knew about it.
This was the first time in history that the imperial physicians in the palace were ordered to come one after another, which caused Mu Chengyuan a headache. Young Master Taoyao, who had been restrained in a disguised form and remained silent for a few days, also became restless and came to Prince Rui again and again. The Wuji Courtyard where he lived tried to break through Xuanming and rush into the courtyard, but of course he was blocked every time.
Taoyao couldn't see Prince Rui, so she had to find another way, standing in front of the gate of Aoshuang Courtyard every day and yelling like iron, because it was in Aoshuang Courtyard that Prince Rui "eat cold things by mistake", the culprit was naturally Mr. Ru Tie .However, Mr. Tie was quite calm this time, he shrank back when he got into trouble, and he didn't respond to whatever Taoyao scolded, His Highness Prince Rui heard that his back hurt even more, even Taoyao knew he wanted to come and see him, How could Ru Tie be so unconscious, he asked Xuan Liang to bring Ru Tie to him, just to see how this person would explain.
"I asked His Highness, His Highness wanted to eat it himself, can I stop it?"
Ru Tie spread his hands innocently, and even if he ate a little, he actually ate up all his shaved ice, and finally fell asleep with his pillow on his knee. A drunk person is really unreasonable.
Mu Chengyuan was angry: "When will this king want to eat it himself!"
Ru Tie had been prepared for a long time, and immediately raised his voice: "I knew you would not admit it! Think about it, Your Highness, if you didn't want to, why would you come to Aoshuang Courtyard? You are very skilled in martial arts, how can I still force you?" ?”
Mu Chengyuan: "..."
This is indeed the case.He usually seldom gets drunk. When Princess Yechang invited him and Yunxi was his close friend, it was rare for Mu Chengyuan to relax. Although many things after he got drunk were cloudy, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to be walking by himself. Aoshuang courtyard.
But, why is Rutie there?
Looking back, Mu Chengyuan was also a little surprised, probably Aoshuang Courtyard was a place that could make him happy.
Ru Tie was afraid that he was still suspicious, so he continued: "Your Highness was drunk, and thought he was 15 years old, and told me a lot about the past, I know that the expedition was not what His Highness wanted, and that Qingyi... "
Mu Chengyuan suddenly yelled: "Shut up! Don't mention her!"
Ru Tie shuddered subconsciously, and later realized that Pu Gonggong had said that Mu Chengyuan was still brooding over the death of his fiancée back then.
Ru Tie suddenly felt guilty, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't think of it for a while..."
"Forget it, I can't blame you."
Mu Chengyuan pressed his sore forehead, he was sure that he was quite drunk, otherwise Ru Tie would not have known the name Qing Yi.He had banned this name in Prince Rui's Mansion for many years, unexpectedly, this name still appeared in his nightmares.
Ru Tie plucked up his courage and said: "Your Highness, do you like her very much? It's been so long, don't blame yourself, in fact, you have tried your best back then..."
"What do you know?" Mu Chengyuan sneered.
"Yes, I don't know anything, but I know at least one thing. You shouldn't and don't need to always trap yourself. Life has been rushing for decades, what obstacles can you not overcome? I used to have two The most important relative to me passed away. At that time, my life was worse than death, but don’t you see that I am living happily now? Time will always dilute everything. Whenever I look back at that experience, I I will still be sad, but now I understand that there is no banquet in life, if I stay where I am because of sadness, they will feel uneasy if they know it."
Ru Tie said what he had been thinking about all night, and even did not hesitate to compare it with his own experience, but Mu Chengyuan's reaction was surprisingly indifferent.
Prince Rui became cold and hard like ice that couldn't be melted, so that people would never guess what he was thinking: "You don't need to be self-righteous to persuade me anymore, I don't want to hear it."
"...Okay." Ru Tie was a little bit agitated by his reprimand, and said sarcastically, "Perhaps in the eyes of His Highness, what I said is nothing more than nonsense."
Mu Chengyuan was a little irritable, but still said: "That's not what I mean, I'm different from you."
"I'm really sorry about that."
Ru Tie quickly adjusted his mood. After all, Mu Chengyuan is a high-ranking king. Why would he mistakenly think that such a person needs comfort like an evil spirit?
Maybe it's because he thinks his chicken soup for the soul is not good, damn it, if you give this person a little mercy in the future, he's a pig!
"If Your Highness has no other orders, I will leave."
Ru Tie rubbed his nose, then started to leave.His eyes were still a little red from the memory of the heart-wrenching past, but his self-esteem did not allow him to lower his head.
"Stop, why don't you feel happy, tell me clearly once."
Mu Chengyuan was surprised by the change in his attitude, and could tell that he was angry. In fact, the two of them are much closer these days than before. Ru Tie often forgot his etiquette in front of him, and he didn't care about it lightly. Why? , Did you push your nose on your face?
Ru Tie only replied indifferently: "Your Highness and I are different people, there is no need to know what I am thinking."
Mu Chengyuan: "..."
Is this on the bar again? ?
Mu Chengyuan was not happy either, Ru Tie's words seemed to directly add fire to his heart, so he just stared at Ru Tie coldly, without any special reaction.
It's hot these few days, Dandelion will order someone to bring an ice basin to Aoshuang Courtyard at night.Ru Tie asked Xuan Liang about the ice-making process. In cold weather, the well water was put in tanks and frozen outside the house, and then put into the ice cellar of the palace. It was used when needed in summer.
