"Third Young Master, why is it you?" Chief Guard Zheng saw the haggard figure in front of him, almost didn't recognize him, and shouted in surprise.
Zhu Junyang saw who was coming, grabbed Chief Guard Zheng, and asked eagerly: "Zheng Yun, my concubine mother... and Yu Xiaocao, are they all okay? Are they injured?"
Chief Guard Zheng was caught by his eagle-claw-like hand, grinning his teeth, and said: "It's all good, all is good!! This subordinate will take you to see the princess."
Zhu Junyang loosened his grip on the opponent's shoulder, and his heart was no longer as tense as before. Chief Guard Zheng led the way, and under Xiaocao's guidance, the guards of the other courtyard of the Wangfu came and went freely in the white mist forest.
Chief Guard Zheng glanced in the direction of the county prince and calculated the time. Near noon yesterday, Japanese pirates landed on the land. If you rush to send the news over eight hundred miles, it will be late at night in the capital. The third son ran to Dongshan Village as soon as he got the news!
It only took more than a day to arrive at Dongshan Village, and it was absolutely necessary to rush all the way, not inferior to the speed of eight hundred miles. How many horses were exhausted on this journey? Where is the dark cloud of the third son? Wouldn't it also be damaged on the road? The third son usually looks cold-hearted, and he is really filial to the concubine, and it is not in vain that the empress loves him more than the son and the second son!
How did he know that the county prince whom he secretly praised was even more worried about Yu Xiaocao. Although Zhu Junyang was also worried about the concubine mother, the concubine mother was protected by more than twenty skilled guards and dozens of servants from other courtyards, so it was relatively safe.
As for Yu Xiaocao, the light in his heart, apart from his parents, other old and young people in his family would have no power to resist the Japanese pirates! As he galloped all the way, there would always be flashes of panic-stricken white face and blood-stained sarong... the demon that had been dormant in his heart for a long time seemed to be waking up again. He tried his best to suppress the mania in his heart, for fear that he would lose his mind after the outbreak and delay the rescue time, and Xiaocao would...
Maybe he himself didn't notice that the cute little elf girl had such a heavy bond in his heart, even surpassing his beloved and attached mother and concubine.
Bypassing the people in Dongshan Village, Chief Guard Zheng quickly brought King Yang to their exclusive cave. The moment he stepped into the entrance of the cave, Zhu Junyang saw a slender figure busy in front of the simple stove in the corner with his back turned to him. At that moment, all the impetuousness in the whole body dissipated in an instant. There was only a simple and familiar figure from the back, filling his heart, a certain empty place was filled.
"Third Young Master?" Chief Guard Zheng turned his head and saw that he had stopped, staring at a certain corner with bewildered eyes, and couldn't help calling out in surprise.
As if just waking up from a dream, Zhu Junyang stretched his long legs and strode towards the figure that made him worry.
"Third Young Master!" "Your Highness!" The people who were busy in the cave outside the cave also saw Zhu Junyang at this time, and greeted them in surprise.
Little County King? Isn't he in the capital? A few days ago, I sent a letter back, saying that it will take about half a month to complete the errand. How did he appear in the cave? Yu Xiaocao turned around full of doubts, and before she could see everything in front of her eyes, she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Yu Xiaocao's whole body froze for a moment, she had never been hugged so intimately by a man in her two lifetimes, her face was so hot that she could fry an egg. This embrace is full of masculinity, and the faint smell of sweat is mixed with the smell of ambergris, which is not annoying at all. But... her face seemed to be attached to the opponent's abdominal muscles, and if it was a little lower... Yu Xiaocao pushed the opponent away with horror in his eyes.
Liu Shi, who was helping to fight next to him, dropped the spatula in his hand to the ground with a bang, and pointed at Zhu Junyang, anxious and angry. In front of so many people, the youngest daughter was held in the arms of King Yang. What is the reputation of the youngest daughter if men and women do not kiss each other? If King Yang is sincere to her Cao'er, that's fine! If the prince of the county is just looking for novelty... what should her poor Cao'er do
"It's good that you're fine, and I'm worried about the dead man!" Zhu Junyang was stared at by his future mother-in-law with anti-thief eyes, and a tinge of red gradually appeared on Jun's face. It is really inappropriate to hug someone's daughter in front of someone's mother. But he was so emotional that he couldn't hold back for a moment.
Yu Xiaocao saw that her mother was about to be immobilized by Sun Wukong, her eyes were straightened, she gave the culprit a hard look, and said angrily: "Sister is very good!!"
"Who do you call me sister? You were born seven or eight years late!! Call Junyang and listen to me!!" Seeing her ruddy complexion and neat clothes, Zhu Junyang was completely relieved, he couldn't hold back his mouth for a moment, and was poor. up.
"Dreaming!!" Brother Huan Junyang, he is so disgusting! My sister has been a human being for two lifetimes, and the combined age can be your kid's aunt. If you want to take advantage of my sister, there is no way! Yu Xiaocao cursed.
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhu Junyang's mouth, just about to say something, he frowned suddenly and sniffled, and said, "What's the smell? It seems like the smell of burnt meat..."
"My stewed pheasant with mushrooms!! Mom, the vegetables are burnt! Give me the spatula now!!" Yu Xiaocao also smelled the burnt smell, and quickly took the spatula from Liu's hand, and stir-fried until it was ready to come out of the pot. vegetable. Fortunately, only a few pieces of chicken sticking to the pot were mushy, and the rest did not affect eating.
When Zhu Junyang was rescuing her "Chicken Stewed Mushrooms", he greeted her and was led by Mei Xiang to the cave where Princess Jing lived. When Concubine Jing saw her son, although she had a smile on her face, she shook her head repeatedly and sighed, "No wonder those village women say that their son 'forgets his mother when he has a wife', Xiaocao is not your wife, she is better than me. This motherhood is important!"
"Concubine Mu, look at what you said! Didn't I see her outside first? I just said hello and said a few words casually..." Zhu Junyang explained a few words for himself with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
"Oh? Just to say hello? How did I hear that when someone came in, I hugged you? And in front of his mother! If I were Xiaocao's mother, I would have swung the spatula on your head long ago. !" Prince Jing's Mansion pursed their lips and laughed, making fun of their own son.
Zhu Junyang was a little embarrassed and said: "Mother and concubine, am I your own son? How can you bend your elbows outward like you?"
The mother and son were talking in the cave, and in the outer cave, Liu Shi hesitated to speak, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and softly reminded the little daughter: "Cao'er, try to keep a distance from the county prince in the future. Let alone you You are still young, between a man and a woman, the one who suffers is always the woman! Unless you get married, don't have any intimate behavior... "
Yu Xiaocao thought it was a bit funny, but looking at her mother's worried face, she nodded hurriedly and said: "Mother, don't worry! I have a sense of propriety in my heart. The Xiaojun Wang is not the kind of frivolous person. Just now... maybe he was too worried. We're dead, so we lost our composure for a while."
"You have been safe since you were a child, so I will remind you, don't be fooled by men's sweet words. Women, only when you love, respect and respect yourself can a man value you."
Liu felt that her daughter was still young, so it was not appropriate to speak too deeply, and she would teach her slowly in the future. She put the chicken and mushroom stew in the pot on two plates. The smaller plate was casually handed over to a maid in another courtyard, and asked her to deliver it to Concubine Jing. The conditions in the cave were relatively difficult, Xiaocao's craftsmanship was good, and Princess Jing's food also fell on them.
Zhu Junyang came out of the cave smelling the fragrance, looked at the stewed chicken with mushrooms that Lan Xiang was carrying, smiled and moved closer to Xiaocao, saying: "Hey! The food is good! It seems that you are living a good life here. Grandpa is worried for nothing!"
Yu Xiaocao took a look at his slovenly appearance, wrinkled her nose in disgust, and said, "You just came out of the refugee camp! Look at how you've been buried, hurry down and wash in the stream... "
"Cao'er, why did you talk to the prince of the county? Hurry up and apologize!" Seeing that the youngest daughter was not polite at all, Liu was afraid that the prince of the county would be unhappy, so she hurriedly played sloppy eyes.
Zhu Junyang hurriedly put on a soft and gentle smile, and said to his future mother-in-law: "It's okay, aunt! From now on, you will treat me as your own nephew, don't be too ignorant! Xiaocao said to me like this, it shows that I don't treat me as an outsider. I am happy Let's go!"
"Did you see? He just needs to be cleaned up..." Yu Xiaocao showed a complacent and triumphant expression.
Zhu Junyang gave her an expression of "I'll see how I deal with you later", and under the guidance of Chief Guard Zheng, he jumped down a cliff more than ten meters high from the gap on the side of the cave. The four seasons in the valley are like spring, and it is the end of spring at this time, so the water in the creek is not too cold. Zhu Junyang washed off the wind and dust all over his body inside, changed into fresh clothes, and the fatigue on his body was swept away.
While eating, although Zhu Junyang really wanted to be at the same table with Yu Xiaocao, he thought about his mother and concubine, and reluctantly went into his cave. Princess Jing jokingly said: "My eyes are almost glued to him and I can't take them back! Since I can't bear it, just stay outside and eat. I eat vegetables alone, and I can eat two more bites!"
"Mother Concubine, how can you finish eating so many dishes? Let your son help you eliminate it!!" Zhu Junyang picked out chicken thighs, put them on Princess Jing's rice, and said, "When my son comes, father The king told me again and again, I must let my son take good care of you. You can eat more, if you lose weight from hunger, my father will not skin me!"
"Brat, you know how to tease mother and concubine! Be careful of your father spanking your ass." Princess Jing's cheeks were flushed, she was in her forties, and she was as shy as a girl. Under the reflection of the night pearl, it looks like a blooming hibiscus, which is gorgeous and elegant. No wonder Prince Jing has been the sole favorite for so many years!
"Mother and concubine, please forgive me! My son dare not..." Zhu Junyang acted as the old lady, and Caiyi kissed him. With her son by her side, Concubine Jing's mood brightened. She even ate a few more bites of food than yesterday, and the stir-fried wild vegetables were extraordinarily sweet...
