Chapter 220: versatile

Views:

During the Shangyuan Festival, the whole city is full of lanterns, splendid like daytime, and the royal clans and the people all have fun and go to the Daxiangguo Temple to watch the lanterns.

Sitting in the shed, Zhao Yunchu couldn't help but look at Yun Yanhui—he was thinking about his appointment with Yun Yanhui today.

Yun Yan is back there on duty. Recently, there is a shortage of manpower, so he must share some of it. Fortunately, I adjusted it early, and when it was not too late, I handed over the shift, gave Zhao Yunchu a wink, and went for a walk.

Zhao Yunchu also stood up solemnly, "Auntie, I went downstairs to look at the lights, and I can't see clearly when I sit here."

The princess smiled and said, "Go, you young people, you like to be lively."

Zhao Yundi stood up, "Auntie, then I too..."

The princess immediately changed her face, "Sit down!"

Zhao Yundi: "..."

How can the princess let him leave? The official family is out of the palace, and the guards and the army will escort him all the way. Zhou Huilin is not among them.

Zhao Yunchu has been in the Daxiangguo Temple all the year round, and is very familiar with it. When he arrived at a remote courtyard, he saw Yun Yanhui standing in a corner silhouette, lightly stepped forward, hugged Yunyan back, " Brother Yan!"

Zhao Yunchu was full of lovesickness and wanted to narrate, but Yun Yanhui slapped him on the face and pushed him away.

Zhao Yunchu looked aggrievedly, only to see Yun Yan back with a look of horror, suddenly feeling wrong, and looked down, but Yun Yan returned to the other side and stood side by side with three children, all raised their heads and stared at them.

Zhao Yunchu: "..."

Zhao Yunchu recognized two of them, Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Youwu, and another girl who was about the same age as Zhao Zongshi.

He asked Yun Yan in a low voice, "Why did they come here? Where are the guards?"

Yun Yan was still in shock and looked to the side, "Stay outside..." With a bitter look on his face, he told Zhao Yunchu that he was just trying to sneak up with Zhao Yunchu, but who knew that Zhao Zongshi was holding him back.

Zhao Zongshi took Zhao Youwu and another little girl, Gao Taotao, Cao Miaolian's niece, the future Queen Yingzong. He told Renzong that he wanted to play in the temple, and Renzong called a team of guards and told them to play.

Yun Yanhui felt that raising children in this way was wrong! As an emperor, raising a child requires a bit of battle. Even if there are many banned troops in the temple today, you can't just let it go! Most importantly, it's not right to interrupt someone on a date!

Yun Yanhui was not happy, and Zhao Yunchu was not happy either. The two looked at each other with resentment in their eyes.

Zhao Zongshi pulled Yun Yan back, "Yan Fei, I'm hungry, take me to eat the radish."

"Why didn't you eat more cakes just now?" Yun Yanhui couldn't help laughing and laughing, "How can there be radishes now... Your Highness, are you hungry?"

Zhao Youwu shook his head, "I'm not hungry."

Yunyan looked back at Gao Taotao, who nodded consciously, "I'm a little hungry too..."

Yun Yan was speechless, "Let's... go to the kitchen first."

Yun Yan took them back to the kitchen in this courtyard, and after searching, the ingredients in it were all raw, but there were a bunch of chestnuts.

Anyway, they were all entangled by bear children, so let’s just have a good time, so I took out the chestnuts and prepared to roast them. Cold weather is a good time to eat chestnuts.

The Daxiangguo Temple is well done, there are trees everywhere, and the monks sweep the fallen leaves in piles and piles every day.

These children, where have they played this before, and they are all nervous and excited when they see Yunyan returning to a fire.

"Senior brother, what is this?" Zhao Youwu asked.

Yun Yan replied: "... Your family has a great business, and you have never eaten chestnuts?"

Not only Zhao Youwu, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao are also very confused, "Aren't chestnuts yellow?"

Yunyan understood that they had only seen chestnuts that had been peeled clean, so they said: "This is a chestnut with a shell. When it grows on a tree, there is a layer of burrs on the outside. When the shell is peeled off, it is the yellow chestnut flesh. "

Zhao Zongshi realized this, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, but he turned his attention away after a while.

"Will the house be set on fire?"

"How long will the chestnuts be roasted?"

"My mother said that you can't play with fire all the time, and will wet the bed at night..."

Zhao Zongshi couldn't sit still, so Yunyan pulled the fire and chestnuts back, so he asked Zhao Yunchu, "Uncle, did you make an appointment with Yan Fei to come here to make a fire and play?"

Zhao Yunchu said unhappily: "Originally, if you didn't come, we were going to do something fun, but now we can't do it, so I'm very unhappy, Thirteenth Lang, don't talk to me."

When Zhao Zongshi heard it, there was actually something more fun than roasting chestnuts in life. He pulled Zhao Yunchu: "What is it, I want to play too!"

"You can't play," Zhao Yunchu picked up Zhao Zongshi, put him on the other side, and sat down beside Yun Yanhui, "Let's get rid of them later..."

"Heroes see the same thing," Yun Yan whispered back, "when the chestnuts are finished roasting, while they eat chestnuts, we will run..."

The tongue of fire licked the fruit, cracking its outer shell, and the faint fragrance permeated.

Yun Yanhui put the chestnuts in a bowl, "It's still very hot, so I can't eat it yet."

Because the three children kept jumping up to see the chestnuts in the bowl, Yun Yanhui had to raise her hands a little higher.

Zhao Zongshi squeezed a chestnut, started from the crack, and peeled it off. Huang Cancan's chestnut meat was fully cooked, even though it was roasted until the edges were a little charred, Zhao Zongshi didn't care, he ate it in one bite, it was fragrant and powdery, with a bit of bitterness in the burnt part.

Although Zhao Youwu was curious, he didn't dare to do it first. He stared at Zhao Zongshi and ate one, and then laughed, "Thirteenth Lang's mouth is black!"

The chestnuts were black, naturally they contaminated Zhao Zongshi's hands and mouth.

Zhao Zongshi felt that he was very heroic, "If it's black, it's black!"

Zhao Youwu and Gao Taotao also stretched out their small hands and peeled the chestnuts by themselves. If they couldn't peel them, they would ask Zhao Zongshi to help. Facing his two younger sisters, Zhao Zongshi also regained his masculinity in his small body, and helped him without hesitation.

Yun Yanhui wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but did not want Zhao Youwu's dress to float and be licked out of a hole by the flames.

Yun Yanhui put out the fire in annoyance, thinking that it would be time to put out the chestnuts after roasting. Seeing the conspicuous hole in Zhao Youwu's skirt, after thinking for a long time, he took out the sewing kit from his arms... Fortunately, he didn't know how to get wind. brought this.

Another handkerchief was requisitioned from Zhao Yunchu, and Yunyan returned to the scene to patch Zhao Youwu.

While eating chestnuts, Zhao Youwu stared blankly at Yun Yan's flying needle, "What is this?"

As for the patch, of course, she has never seen it. In the palace, even palace servants don't have to wear clothes with patches, at least they don't have them on their coats, and she can't see how frugal they are in private.

"I'll make it up for you... Otherwise, it's not good to have a loophole." Yun Yan replied embarrassingly, "Remember to change your clothes when you go back." Fortunately, these days, nobles always go out with at least one set of clothes for replacement, so Yun Yanhui didn't think there was a big problem either.

Zhao Youwu was quite happy, "Senior brother, you are amazing, this is so beautiful!"

Zhao Youwu was also very fond of everything Yun Yanhui did, and felt that the patches he made had a special sense of design.

Zhao Zongshi also shouted: "Yan fat, how can you still embroider?"

Yunyan went back to Heixian, "This is not embroidery, it's just sewing!"

Zhao Zongshi: "Then can you embroider?"

"No!" Yun Yanhui resolutely denied it, knotted the thread, bit it off, and put away the sewing kit, "Well... let's go get some water."

Yun Yanhui took Zhao Yunchu and pretended to go to the kitchen to drink water. In fact, he jumped out of the window and ran away. He went outside the yard to greet the guards, saying that they had retired, and told them to look at the three nobles and send them back later. .

Those guards didn't know where they were, and when Zhao Youwu asked them to ask for a brother, they found out that Yun Yanhui was lying.

It was not too early, the three of them ate chestnuts, and the rest were still walking around and went back to see their parents.

Renzong and Empress Cao were enjoying the lanterns affectionately, when they suddenly saw Chen Lin sneakily leading Zhao Youwu and the three to the side, so they stopped him and asked them to come over.

Chen Lin originally saw the princess like this and wanted to take her to change clothes, but who knew that he was stopped by the official, so he had no choice but to walk over.

A little farther is fine, but when he got closer, Renzong was stunned when he saw it clearly.

His daughters, nephews and nieces carved in jade, all of them have black stains on their faces, a lot on their hands, and their hair is a little messy. All these can be said that the children may be unstable and fall. Category…

However, his daughter, there was a huge patch on her beautiful skirt! What the hell is going on here? !

Cao Miaolian was also confused, "I just haven't seen it for a while, how can I follow... Follow..."

Like three little beggars? She was really embarrassed to say the latter.

Zhao Zongshi was very loyal, and when he saw something wrong, he didn't tell Yunyan back and said, "The official family, I'm taking my sisters to roast chestnuts to play!"

Zhao Youwu also hugged her father's leg and said, "Father, roasted chestnuts are delicious, and I brought them to you." She took out a dirty roasted chestnut from her arms and wanted to peel it for Renzong to eat.

Renzong was heartbroken and moved, and couldn't bear to blame, "Really? I've never eaten such delicacies... I have to thank Xiaoba."

Renzong took a mouthful of chestnuts, and it turned out to be particularly fragrant. He thought while eating, he thought they would definitely go back to Yun Yan to play with that guy, so he felt relieved, but he didn't expect to go out on his own.

But it's not right... Although there is a patch on Xiaoba's body, it is not ugly. The stitches are very fine and can't be seen from a distance. It can be said that the skills are exquisite. Woolen cloth

Renzong then asked again: "You Wu, who sewed this patch?"

Zhao Youwu's eyes wandered, "I don't know..."

A moment ago, she didn't even know what a patch was, how could she know how to edit it for Ren Zong.

Renzong thought that she didn't know who the patcher was, and thought to himself, is there a passing teacher and aunt? The craftsmanship is good!

The multi-talented Yun Yanhui was having a tryst with Zhao Yunchu at this time.

A princess, a future emperor, a future queen, after throwing them all away, Yun Yanhui wondered if she was also a little in love...

Zhao Yunchu hugged Yunyan back for a while, and was very excited, "Brother Yan, the official family said that I did a good job in Dali Temple, and they can transfer me to Kaifeng House."

When Yun Yan heard back, she hugged Zhao Yunchu's face and rubbed for a while, "Good job!"

Zhao Yunchu would definitely not stay in Kaifeng Mansion for a long time. Renzong said that he would be transferred to Kaifeng Mansion, not to mention to help him and Yunyan return to "reunion", but to pave the way for him to be used in the future.

Zhao Yunchu lowered his head, buried his head in Yunyan's neck, and shouted stickily, "Senior brother..."

Yun Yanhui suddenly felt numb for a while.

It's been a long time since I heard this name. When they were young, they practiced together occasionally. Zhao Yunchu called him senior brother. Now that I hear this title again, I feel a bit of a role-playing pleasure.

Yun Yanhui pulled Zhao Yunchu up, turned his body and pressed it against the tree, touched his hand down, and kissed him a few times, "Good junior brother, senior brother will take you to learn knowledge together..."

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu came out of the woods with serious faces and walked out together.

After returning, Renzong had already started to drive back to the palace.

Yun Yan listened to the official of the Kaifeng government who was driving with him, saying that the princess did not know where to go to play. Her clothes changed from new to old in an instant, and even the patches came out. The official family was not very happy.

Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu looked at each other and felt a drop of sweat fall from the back of their heads, "Hehehe... Is that so..."
