"It's okay to be hurt so badly!" Jing Shao frowned tightly and stretched out his hand to squeeze the white cloth. He wanted to see his brother's injury but was afraid it would hurt him, so he stopped his fingertips three inches away from the cloth and dared not touch it. forward.

Jing Chen has never seen such a careful younger brother. Cracks appeared on his always serious face. He couldn't say how to reprimand when he came to his mouth. , It's because the wound is long and it's not easy to wrap it, so it's wrapped up in such a large amount."

Jing Shao was stunned for a while. In his memory, his brother had never been so close to him. When he was a child, when he was jumping up and down to dig bird nests and fish for koi, his brother had been reading in the study with a straight face every day. Most of them are "what kind of demeanor"; when his mother died, he cried so hard, his brother just knelt in front of the spirit and didn't cry or speak. I know how to cry"... So in the last life, he always thought that his brother was not close to him.

Until I saw my brother who came to visit in prison, Jing Shao still remembered that calm and powerful voice, "You are my only younger brother, even if I try my best, I will never let you die!"

The scenes of the past reverberated in his mind, and Jing Shao felt a little sore in his nose. If he hadn't lived a new life, he would never have known how much his brother had done for him in a place he didn't know. Rubbing one finger under the bridge of his nose, Jing Shao took out a sapphire vial from his arms and stuffed it into Jing Chen's hand: "the car is bumpy, go back and let my sister-in-law paint it for you."

Jingchen looked at the small bottle in his hand, it was in green jade, and it was supposed to be given to Jingshao by his father before he set off. He frowned and said, "This is a life-saving medicine, I'm just a skin injury, you can take it back ." As he was about to stuff it to him, Jing Shao quickly retreated to the carriage door.

"I still have it there. You take this bottle, and you can take it with you if you don't want to use it. I'm relieved," said Jing Shao, and lifted the curtain to prepare to go out, "I came out to pick you up and ran around the capital for a long time. , when no one knows, as for the father, the old man's heart is like a mirror, and it is useless to hide it."

Jingchen held the sapphire vial in his hand, watched his younger brother stand upright on his horse, shake the reins lightly, and slowly curled the corners of his lips. His little Shao'er really became more and more sensible.

Even if the Beiweihou Mansion was her parents' home, it was not suitable for the princess to have dinner, so when Jingshao returned to the palace, Mu Hanzhang had already returned. A sumptuous dish was placed on the table, and her own princess in soft silk casual clothes sat at the table, waiting for him to eat. This kind of feeling of someone waiting for you to go home is really good, Jing Shao couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Zhang Jun's face.

Seeing the surrounding maidservants, they all bowed their heads.

Mu Hanzhang's handsome face suddenly turned red, and he was surrounded by servants. This man couldn't help but glared at him: "Go and change your clothes, your mouth is full of dirt!" Well, it sounds more like flirting, and I can't help but feel annoyed.

Jing Shao smirked twice with a single fist to his lips, turned around and went to the clean room to wash his face and change his clothes.

The weather at the end of May was already hot, Jing Shao changed his clothes, took the cup handed over by Miao Xi, and gulped down.

Mu Hanzhang gave him a bowl of mung bean soup, and waved his hands to let the maids go down: "Can you see your brother?"

Jing Shao took a sip of the soup bowl and nodded: "My brother is injured, so the carriage should go slower."

"Are you seriously injured?" Mu Hanzhang frowned.

Jing Shao took a bite of the dish and thought it tasted good, so he put a chopstick in the bowl of his own princess: "It shouldn't be a problem if the skin is injured.

Mu Hanzhang looked at the dishes in the bowl and saw Jing Shao's expression of course, he didn't say anything, picked up the bowl and ate it. Anyway, since he got married, the prince has not neglected him, but he would be glad in his heart every time this time, this person did not treat him as a woman, but respected and loved him. Like other husbands, how sad his life will be.

Following the etiquette of not speaking, Mu Hanzhang stopped talking and concentrated on eating. Jing Shao ate two pieces of braised beef at noon. He was really hungry now, so he picked up the bowl and ate it quickly.

Mu Hanzhang was a little surprised when he saw that he was so hungry. When Jingshao brought the third bowl of rice, he was afraid that he would endure and had to stretch out his hand to stop him. You eat too fast, you don’t know if you are hungry, and you eat too much food at night.”

The two of them are men, and Dongyuan's rice bowls are all big bowls. Usually, Jingshao is very full after eating two bowls. Now he eats too fast and can't sleep. If he eats the third bowl, he will definitely not be able to sleep at night. of.

Jing Shao also knew this, so he put down his chopsticks obediently, and drank a small bowl of mung bean soup. When the maids came to clean up, he felt a little tired. Mu Hanzhang sighed, and after drinking tea, he took him to the garden for a walk to digest food.

The evening breeze of mid-spring brought a slight heat wave on my face, and I could smell the smell of sunlight burning in the fragrance of flowers.

"My father said that my aunt will be carried into a side room next month." Mu Hanzhang walked under an acacia tree, looked up, and the tree was full of pink flowers, beautiful like smoke.

"That's really a good thing, you can call me mother in the future." Seeing that he was looking at the flowers on the tree, Jing Shao stretched out his hand, and handed a blooming night acacia to his princess.

"A flower that blooms just right, what do you pick it for?" Mu Hanzhang looked at the flower in his hand and did not pick it up.

"Pepper flowers offer beauty." Jing Shao said proudly.

Mu Hanzhang glared at the prince, who was beginning to be rude again: "The first time I heard that this flower of bitterness can still be given away."

Jing Shao scratched his head, the acacia flower was originally called the flower of bitterness, and the blooming of the flower of bitterness meant that the husband had changed his mind, which was really bad.

"What's this for? It's enough to send flowers, how can anyone send leaves?" Mu Hanzhang turned around the branches full of green leaves in his hands, the leaves were closed, and there was nothing to see, so he couldn't help laughing at him.

"Hehuan leaves open day and night, and love each other. I will give it to you because I want to be with you all my life, and live happily ever after." Jing Shao said confidently.

Mu Hanzhang was stunned for a moment, and looked down at the tightly closed Acacia leaves at night. He didn't expect Jingshao to say such a thing. He didn't know how to answer for a while, but a blush quietly jumped up on the handsome face, reflecting the clear The penetrating moonlight looked even more beautiful.

Jing Shao looked a little crazy, and couldn't help but stretch out his arms to embrace him, and kissed those two thin lips.

"Hmm..." Mu Hanzhang snorted lightly, but didn't resist much. The sentence "One heart, one heart to another" made his whole heart full, and he also wanted to do something intimate, so that this It feels a little longer.

The next day, the second prince returned to the court and stood above the hall with a wound. Emperor Hongzheng took pity on the second prince and gave him a seat.

The emperor was very angry about the attack on the imperial envoy, and ordered a thorough investigation. In addition, Jingchen also brought a shocking news. The tributes from the southwest were not robbed by bandits at all, but by the king of the southwest himself. All the tributes are still parked at the border of the southwest fief, near the official road leading to the capital!

I don't know if it was a coincidence or a man-made act, but the memorial of the King of Southwest who shied away from rescuing the eldest prince also arrived in Beijing yesterday. The King of Southwest said in his memorial that the Southwest had suffered from a spring drought this year, and many places had no harvest, and when tributes were robbed, the situation was worsened. Allocate grain.

"Too deceitful!" Emperor Hongzheng combined Jingchen's memorial with that of the King of Southwest China, and slammed down onto the jade steps.

"The King of Southwest is really too arrogant!" The upright Censor Fan Jie stood up, trembling with anger.

"Your anger, the most important thing now is that the eldest prince is still in Yunnan and Tibet, and his life and death are uncertain. The king of the southwest is unwilling to send troops, so he must mobilize his troops and horses quickly." A step forward reminded.

"The king of the Southwest knew that the first prince was not good at fighting, so he dared to deceive the court blatantly and threaten to reduce the tribute. According to the opinion of the ministers, he should dispatch famous generals to Yunnan and Tibet." Song An, the minister of military affairs, hurriedly stepped forward and said, and if there was anything He pointedly glanced at Jing Shao.

Jing Shao hated Song An's self-assertion again, and took half a step back without a trace.

"The number of southern barbarians is small, and it is not worth fighting. The reason why the eldest prince is in danger is because he is not familiar with the environment of Yunnan and Tibet. The minister thought that as long as the eldest prince was rescued, there was no need to send famous generals, and it would take some time. Conquer it." Hou Mujin of Northern Wei, who rarely spoke, suddenly stood up, and his calm and powerful voice suddenly shocked the noisy crowd.

Emperor Hongzheng glanced at Mu Jin and nodded slightly. This generation of Beiwei Hou, who was stationed in the northwest all the year round when he was young, has fought many battles, and is a nobility that he has maintained by his own ability. His words are naturally very prestige.

Therefore, Emperor Hongzheng decreed that the King of Southwest China was reprimanded, and he immediately dispatched troops to rescue the eldest prince. Regarding the reduction of tribute and the allocation of food, he refuted all of them, not a word! At the same time, the soldiers and horses of Shu were dispatched to rescue them from another route.

"Mother, I heard that my father is going to carry Aunt Qiu as a side room!" Mu Lingbao, who had finished the lockdown, rushed to the main room in a hurry.

"Yes!" Mrs. Beiwei Hou was quite haggard. The emperor had already ordered that the fourth prince and concubine should be selected as the lady of Maoguo Gongfu. It was decided in June, and July was unlucky, and the marriage was scheduled for August. Du Shi has now become the laughing stock of the entire capital, and she is so ashamed that she has not dared to go out for nearly a month.

The fourth prince made the decision in June that the Marquis of Beiwei would lift the Qiu family in June, just to tell everyone plainly that the Marquis of Beiwei would stand on the side of King Cheng from now on, and they would all look up to that son of a bitch from now on.

"Then how?" Mu Lingbao threw the fruit plate on the table, "lifted the side room, Mu Hanzhang is the side room, if I die, he can also hold the title!"

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Beiwei Hou slapped Mu Lingbao's back, "You are the prince appointed by the imperial decree, and no one can take away this title! He has already married King Cheng, how can he return to his parents' home to inherit it? Your Majesty's reason!"

"If King Cheng becomes the emperor and divorces him, he won't be able to hold the title!" Mu Lingbao was slapped by his mother and sat down on Luohan's bed with a thud, raising his voice.

"Hmph, if King Cheng wants to be the emperor, do you think he will survive until the day he is enthroned?" The North Wei Hou man sneered, the prince who married a male wife was not allowed to inherit the throne, even if King Cheng finally took the throne by extraordinary means, leaving It is also disgraceful to have a husband and wife, so naturally this person should be erased from the history books.

Mu Lingbao was stunned for a while, then became happy: "Mother is really far-sighted!"

"As long as you have a lot of promise, I don't need to use these methods!" Madam Beiweihou rubbed his forehead with her finger.

Qiu shi, who came to deliver the account book, stood outside the door in a daze. When he came back to his senses, he was already in a cold sweat!
