many worries

For Qiao Yu's temperament, apart from the fact that it was difficult to eat, the life in the Taiqing Palace was not difficult.

It took Jing Yan two days of hard work to repair the tattered furniture in the house, and store the things sent by the Dian in the warehouse that was barely leaking from the rain and the wind.The weeds in the yard have not been removed, and he is not in a hurry, Jing Yan even used a few pieces of wood to piece together a bookshelf, on which there are only basic and thin Buddhist scriptures, and there are no other pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

I have nothing to do in my spare time, except to read Buddhist scriptures quietly and cultivate my moral character, there is nothing to do.

Qiao Yu couldn't take it easy, he didn't want to study at first, he was only interested in painting, but now he didn't have paint, paper and pens, so he couldn't paint anymore, so he indulged in the yard every day, chasing butterflies and catching bees One time, I made a mistake and forgot what Jing Yan told me, and rushed away a violent and aggressive wasp, turned around and was about to come over to sting him, so scared that I immediately threw the broken net bag in my hand, Drilled straight into Jing Yan's room, shouting, "Your Highness, help! Help!"

Jing Yan saved his life, and just wanted to teach him a lesson, but Qiao Yu looked at him with tears in his eyes. In the end, this incident didn't make Qiao Yu restful, so he went back to watch the ants move.Jing Yan also let him make trouble, after all, he had already thought about this on the second day after he came, and sprinkled the medicine to repel poisonous snakes and insects, nothing serious would happen.

Qiao Yu is innocent and innocent. He used to enjoy the affluent life of more than [-] people, but he didn't depend on each other. As long as his heart is satisfied, he can happily find fun anywhere.

It's just past Si time, and it's a bit painful when I eat lunch.

It was lunch, but it was nothing more than a ball of baked bread, which was dry and hard. Qiao Yu pitifully bit the bread, almost choked in her throat, took a sip of water, but couldn't eat any more. Pushing it on the stone table, I was too embarrassed to say that I didn't want to eat it, so I had to purse my lips, bite like a bunny with my front teeth, chew slowly, and said to Jing Yan hopefully: " Your Highness, tell me, in a few days, will we be able to eat delicious food?"

He thought that all the food in the imperial dining room was as delicious as it was delivered to the East Palace.

Jing Yan swallowed the bread in his mouth, looked at Qiao Yu with a half-smile, and punctured his fantasy right now, "Maybe. You are growing up now, eat more, otherwise you won't grow up." Tall and mighty, like that little tiger?"

Qiao Yu sighed, puffed her mouth, thinking in her heart, but the little rabbit and the little tiger are both the same size, and counting on her fingers how many days are left before she can leave the Taiqing Palace and go to the imperial dining room to ask for food.

Jing Yan had already finished eating, so he glanced at Qiao Yu's remaining half, then looked at the still-not-so-big man, leaned down, poked in the wild grass beside him, and handed it to Qiao Yu. A small pale yellow flower, with a full flower bud attached to the flower diameter, hangs down slightly, as if it is about to bloom.

Qiao Yu jumped down from the chair and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Jing Yan pulled Qiao Yu closer to him, pulled off the stem attached to the bud, and there seemed to be a lot of dew inside, he waved to Qiao Yu, "Come here and lick it."

Looking at the flower, Qiao Yu stammered and hesitated, "Ah, this, can flowers just be eaten like this?" He was not in good health when he was a child, and his grandmother strictly ordered his servants to take care of him and not eat those messy things. Therefore, except for fruit, nothing raw has ever entered the mouth.

Jing Yan answered him seriously, "It's not for eating, but for licking this dew, it's sweet. Doesn't Xiaoyu believe me?"

How could Qiao Yu not believe in the prince, even if she didn't believe it, she couldn't show it.He wants to take good care of the prince.Qiao Yu had thought about it, she had to agree to whatever the prince asked, so as not to make the prince sad.But in the final analysis, he was still timid, with a look of death on his white and clean face, it was much more difficult than drinking bitter medicine when he was sick, and finally took it cruelly, closed his eyes and gulped it down.

It is indeed sweet.It's not the sweetness of the dim sum fruit that Qiao Yu often eats, but a light and sweet taste, but he hasn't touched any sugar recently, and this sweetness immediately blossomed between Qiao Yu's lips and tongue.

Qiao Yu's eyes lit up, she turned her head, her long eyelashes fluttered like a small fan, and she grabbed Jing Yan's arm, "It's so sweet, what is this? It's really delicious."

Jing Yan nodded his nose and said with a smile, "Didn't you just look at death like home? This is the flower of the bell plant. It is written in the book that the dew is sweet and can quench the heat and thirst. You never study hard. "In the past, although Xiaoyu was close to him, it was not like this, after all, there was a separation between the monarch and his ministers, and the left and right could not be separated from each other.But it is different in Taiqing Palace, there are only the two of them here.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, feeling that she was being amused just now, and whispered awkwardly: "I'm following the crown prince, His Highness knows, it's fine if His Highness is amazing!"

Jing Yan was used to his flattery, and said, "You can eat the bell grass in the yard for fun. For a change of taste, you still have to eat decent dry food."

Qiao Yu's thoughts had long been on the bell grass, and he jumped into the deepest and densest grass, and Jing Yan could only see the tip of his head.

The flowers look no different from weeds, except that one or a few flower bones are formed on the top, and they are slightly shorter. They are hidden in the weeds and are difficult to find.Qiao Yu fumbled all afternoon, searched the small half of the yard, picked flowers by hand, but didn't find a few, and excitedly wanted to give half of it to the prince.

Jing Yan only took one, and said: "It took me so long to find this little thing, am I ashamed to take something from you, a child? Go eat and play by yourself."

Qiao Yu shyly took the bell grass back.

He liked it very much, so he searched for it all afternoon and wanted to give it to the prince.But the prince couldn't bear to bear himself, so he didn't want to have it.Qiao Yu looked at the bell grass and clenched his small fists. He wanted to find many, many, so that the prince would not refuse for this reason.

After that, although Qiao Yu secretly searched for bell plants in the yard every day, and liked the taste of the flower dew, he only tasted one every day reluctantly, and even peeled off many small sticks to make marks beside the bell plants. , do not take it off.

Jing Yan saw his small movements, and praised him for growing up and understanding what restraint is.

Actually no, Qiao Yu is still a child with a temper, he hasn't grown up yet, but he restrained himself because he wanted to give the prince a gift.

Ten days later, in the early morning, Qiao Yu woke up early in the morning, and happily bid farewell to Jing Yan, saying that she was going to the imperial dining room to get some food.

Qiao Yu has been in the palace for more than three years. She stays in the inner hall of the East Palace without leaving the gate. Not to mention the way from the Taiqing Palace to the Imperial Dining Room, or the road from the East Palace to the Imperial Garden.Jing Yan already knew that he was such a little trash, so before he left, he exhorted him, tore up a page of a Buddhist scripture very disrespectfully, and drew a map for him with the flower juice that he kneaded.

Not far from the Taiqing Palace, Qiao Yu became dizzy, secretly took out the map he was carrying, and looked for the way while looking at the surrounding buildings.He cheered himself up and walked for a long time, he didn't know if he got lost, but he didn't dare to ask someone.

Qiao Yu was very courageous in front of Jing Yan, but when he went outside, there was no prince to back him up, and he was the lowest eunuch in the palace, so he had to go up and bow down to anyone he saw, but he didn't want to, so he quietly avoided it. Because of his small eyes and sharp eyes, and the remote location, he was not caught along the way.

Probably because of this, he had other thoughts. When walking, he couldn't help but want to look in the grass to see if there were bell plants.He has already saved more than 30 roots, and he is planning to pick them all off and give them to the prince when he returns home today.But because it was a gift for Jing Yan, he always wanted to make it richer, the more the better.

He walked for another half a day, and saw a meadow not far away, so he turned in from the main road, and when he was about to squat down to look for it, he suddenly heard two rustling voices not far away, more and more close.

Qiao Yu was startled, and when she hid behind a lush peach tree, her voice stopped, and she poked her head out to look.

They were two young eunuchs aged twelve or thirteen, each holding a dustpan in their hands, they were busy peeling pine nuts, they couldn't stop talking about the recent major events in the palace.They were two little eunuchs who were talkative but cautious, they knew that Concubine De had too much to do with Empress Dowager, so they just picked something else.

It turned out that a fire broke out in the eunuch's office a few nights ago, burning two whole rooms, which contained all the registers of various palaces, and it would be a big trouble to re-count and transcribe.Later, in front of the back door of the burning house, a Jiancheng who had eaten too much wine was found. A basket full of lamp oil was spilled on the ground, and the fire started from this place.Jian Zhi personally sent that Jian Cheng to the Punishment Department. It is said that he carried it out yesterday without even a human body, only a mass of rotten meat.

The two of them are not afraid. After all, no matter how much they pursue responsibility, they will not be able to reach their heads. One of the younger ones sighed, lowered his voice a little, and said to the people beside him: "Brother, what do you mean?" The roster is also lost, if these few days, I am ordered to leave the palace and never come back, right, I will not be found either."

The older one immediately took a hard look at his head, and reprimanded sharply, "What kind of dream is it? If people hear it, I'll lose my head! I'm also confused, so I'm telling you this."

Startled by his voice, Qiao Yu made a wrong step and accidentally stepped on a dry branch with a "click".
