New·New Consort

In the carpentry workshop in the patrol house of Bafu, Tianxiang circled around a semi-finished wooden bird several times, and shook her head: "No, no, this kind of wooden bird is stupid. If it can fly, I will fly with it." Your last name!"

The prince stammered and defended: "This is the most perfect wooden bird I have made so far, how can you say that about it!" After a pause, he added, "Also, you are my sister, and you are my sister. I have a last name!"

Tianxiang raised the sugarcane and tapped the prince's forehead lightly: "Brother stupid, my surname is Feng now, if you want me to have the same surname as yours, don't you expect me to be divorced?"

"Ah?" The prince was holding his forehead blankly, and said angrily, "If Feng Shaomin dares to divorce you, I will, I will—" He hesitated for a long while, but he couldn't say any threatening words, he just said dejectedly: " I'm not the prince now, if he treats you badly, I can't help you either."

Tianxiang smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, I haven't stayed too far, and I still know how to love your sister." She stretched out her hand to rub the prince's forehead, and said softly: "I hurt you?"

The prince shook his head again and again: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt. Royal sister, why don't you think my wooden bird can't fly?"

Tianxiang rubbed her chin and asked, "Brother Huang, can you walk without eating?"

The prince shook his head as he recalled how hungry he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

Tianxiang asked again: "Can you still speak without drinking water?"

The prince shook his head again.

Tianxiang said: "In the world, the sun and the moon shine, the water and soil are nourished, and you can grow by eating whole grains. Food turns into muscles, bones and muscles, and water turns into blood vessels and body fluids. Only by nourishing your body can you walk, sit, and lie down. Brother Prince, you The wooden bird doesn't eat or drink, it's stupid, how can it have the strength to fly?"

The prince suddenly realized: "Then as long as I feed it, it will be fine?"

Tianxiang said helplessly: "Why don't you feed the stool?"

The prince was puzzled: "Why do you feed the stool, it has strength, what should I do if you don't let me sit?"

Tianxiang sighed: "Brother, your wooden bird not only has no heart, but also no liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys. How do you make it eat? What do you use to eat? How do you digest and pull out after eating?"

The crown prince said cautiously: "Can't you pull out Pixiu?"

Tianxiang decisively raised the sugar cane and hit the prince hard.

Outside the carpentry room, Zhang Shaomin and Feng Shaomin shook their heads together.Feng Shaomin spoke first: "Master Zhang, the crown prince can't go on like this."

Zhang Shaomin frowned and said: "Why don't I want His Highness to put down these boring things and learn the way of the emperor, but, but I said ten points, he can listen to it at most, and most of his heart is on that wooden bird."

In desperation, Feng Shaomin sneered and said: "Growing up in the deep palace, raised in the hands of women, surrounded by people who are either seductive or servile, it is inevitable."

Zhang Shaomin didn't know Feng Shaomin very well, and he had seen his performances in the Golden Palace, and he always thought that he was a smooth person like Prime Minister Liu Tao.I didn't expect to say such outrageous words, and I wanted to stop talking, but when I thought that he was also a member of the royal family, I hesitated and didn't speak.He turned his head and looked into the carpentry room, Tianxiang actually did it herself, playing with the carpenter's tools.

Zhang Shaomin hurriedly said: "Princess, she—won't the son-in-law go to help?" One carpenter prince is already a headache, if more carpenter princesses go crazy with the prince—it is unimaginable.

"The princess seems to act innocently, but in fact she has her own way. Don't worry about Mr. Zhang," Feng Shaomin said with a smile, "Maybe let's see what Her Highness's intention is."

There are a lot of finished products in the carpentry room, and Tianxiang has already prepared, so it didn't take too long to prepare the materials she needed. She assembled the pieces with wedges, and took out an iron lump from her bosom. Come.

The prince was curious: "Sister, what is this?"

Tianxiang said: "Clockwork."

Tianxiang divided the tendon into two pieces, wound them a few times around the thing she made up, hooked it up, and handed the thing to the prince: "Here, brother, this is a four-wheeled cart, you can twist it Twist the spring at the back. This one of mine is better than your wooden bird, this one is alive and can move."

The prince was skeptical, but he also became excited. He carefully turned the spring on the back of the four-wheeled carriage, and then let go of the handle.

The car really rushed forward.

"Live, live!" The prince was overjoyed, and shouted loudly, "Xiang'er, how did you do it, you really lived, really, lived! Hahahaha..." The prince raised his head and laughed, Laughing with tears in his eyes, "I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I could really see this dead thing become a living thing, haha, haha, a dead thing can really become a living thing, woohoo, woohoo..." The prince Laughed and laughed, and then cried.

Tianxiang originally wanted to use the gadgets she learned from Taixi's chiming bell in her previous life to amuse her brother, but she didn't expect to make him cry, so she couldn't help being a little flustered, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears: "Man, why are you crying!"

"Xiang'er, Xiang'er, it turns out that dead things can be turned into living things, and dead things can be turned into living things!" The prince held Tianxiang's hand tightly, "Xiang'er, why didn't you make this for me earlier? If I had known how to make it so When the dead things come to life, the two of us will have mothers, and we will have mothers!"

Tianxiang was taken aback, and couldn't help but tighten her handkerchief: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

The prince cried: "Xiang'er, the year my mother died, everyone in the palace told me that my mother died and would never come back again. I refused. I said, father is the emperor, I am the future emperor, and mother is the emperor." The mother of the future emperor, the emperor will live forever, and the mother of the emperor will also live forever. Even if she dies, she will come back to life. The father heard this, and he, he was very angry. He yelled at me: "There has never been only The living turn into the dead, and the dead never turn into the living; if the dead can turn into the living, then the dead can turn into living things, and wooden birds can fly to the sky!" The prince sobbed, "I have waited for a long time, and mother Did not come back. I thought, if the wooden bird can go to the sky..."

"Silly brother!" Tianxiang's eyes were hot, her nose was sore, and she hugged her thin brother into her arms: "My father followed his great-grandfather to the battlefield when he was 12 years old. He fought in the mountains of corpses and blood to create the world today. The great-grandfather was nearly seventy years old when he founded the country, and died only three years after ascending the throne; while the grandfather was in his prime, but died violently within less than a year of reign. How can you tolerate your son saying 'I am the future emperor'? Silly brother, why are you so stupid, you have been stupid for more than ten years with just one angry word from the father!"

The prince picked up Tianxiang's handkerchief ignorantly, wiped the corners of Tianxiang's eyes, cried and smiled: "Stupid Xianger, I'm not stupid. If I hadn't been a wooden bird for more than ten years, after saying that , how can I survive until now?"

Tianxiang was stunned for a long time, her lips squirmed for a long time, but she couldn't open her mouth, and finally threw herself into her brother's thin arms and cried loudly: "Brother Huang, brother Huang!"

The two people outside the door stepped back when the prince said "I am the future emperor", and stopped listening to the movement in the carpentry room.

"Master Zhang," Feng Shaomin said thoughtfully, "It must be His Majesty's order that the crown prince stay with you."

Zhang Shaomin said in a muffled voice: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from my son-in-law."

"There shouldn't be so many guards in the eight prefectures." Feng Shaomin glanced around and lowered his voice, "No less than 150 people, which is against the rules."

Zhang Shaomin had a thought, and said: "Don't worry, son-in-law, just now, there are only you and me around this carpentry room, and the princess and prince."

Feng Shaomin shook his head: "Wrong, you and I are not here, we are in the study, discussing the declaration of property of the world."

Zhang Shaomin said loudly: "That's natural. Recently, there is such a big event in the DPRK and China. The Ministry of Officials has cooperated with the Ministry of Households to handle this matter, and is responsible for the declaration of officials' property. The son-in-law works in the Ministry of Merit, so he is naturally anxious about this matter. My official The chief supervisor monitors the behavior of officials, and has some experience in this, so naturally he should share his worries for the son-in-law."

The two walked into the opposite study while talking loudly.

Another half an hour later, Tianxiang came into the study with red eyes, speaking with a nasal voice: "Brother Yi, where is that girl Meizhu now?" She noticed that Feng Suzhen was listening calmly, and added Said, "Miss Meizhu is from Miaozhou. Although she sleeps with the daughter of the magistrate of Miaozhou, she is a real slave. I am afraid that she will be taken advantage of in the future. As a patrol officer of eight prefectures, my righteous brother is enough to get Miaozhou Fuya, it is better to revoke Miss Meizhu's registration as soon as possible, if it is convenient, it is best to put her in a good family with some background."

Zhang Shaomin thumped his palms violently: "Because the princess and the son-in-law are coming, Miss Meizhu was sent to the Houya today to take care of the internal affairs. I neglected her affairs, and I took care of the prince every day, so I didn't think so much , or the princess thought carefully."

Tian Xiang smiled and said: "Brother Yi supervises the officials of various government offices every day, and he also has to teach the elder brother of the prince. It is inevitable that there will be mistakes. In the future, I will share some of the burden with you, so that it will not be so hard."

Zhang Shaomin's heart ached when he heard the words "Brother-in-law" one after another, and when he heard Tianxiang's words "I and the son-in-law", he had mixed feelings inside and said with a smile on his face: "With the help of a virtuous couple, it is natural It's good. It's getting late, why don't you go back home after you two have dinner."

Tianxiang looked sideways at Feng Suzhen.

Feng Suzhen was baffled, but after thinking about it, she said, "But it's up to the princess to decide."

Tian Xiang nodded seriously: "Brother Yi, don't look at this guy who looks gentle and easy to talk, but in fact he is the most picky. The kitchen masters performed well."

Feng Suzhen was wronged even more: "Princess, when will I..."

"Okay, okay, it's your first time to visit the Eight Houses, and I'll show you around." Tianxiang pushed Feng Suzhen out of the study room, leaving only Zhang Shaomin with a dull expression in the room.

Tianxiang chirped along the way: "Here, this is the front office, where the brother-in-law works every day. Over there is the back office, where the staff and family members of the inspector's mansion live. There is the washing room over there. It's the firewood room, that's the back kitchen, that's the brother-in-law's bedroom, that's the guest room, and that's, uh..."

Feng Suzhen said indifferently: "In that room is your portrait."

"How do you know?" Tianxiang asked in surprise.

Feng Suzhen smiled without saying a word.

"How do you know?!" Tianxiang became nervous.

"Myolie told me."

"That little girl Xing'er, why does she know everything..." Tianxiang was a little hesitant.

Feng Suzhen covered her lips and coughed: "Didn't you say it yourself?"

Tianxiang pursed her lips, slipped a few steps into the room where her portrait was hung, and took out a sugar cane.

Feng Suzhen laughed: "If you want it, Mr. Zhang must have piled up all the sugarcane in the capital on your house. Why are you so sneaky?"

Tianxiang put her arm on Feng Suzhen's shoulder: "Brother son-in-law, based on my decades of experience in eating sugar cane, I can tell you that sugar cane eaten secretly is the sweetest! How about it, do you want to try it?" But she was so nervous, would Feng Suzhen shake off her arm?

Feng Suzhen said: "You only took one out." She accidentally didn't break away from Tianxiang's hooking her shoulders, maybe because she had too many intimate contacts recently, even sleeping in the middle of the night, Tianxiang would occasionally roll from the bed to the ground, She was jolted awake—she's kind of used to it.

Tianxiang wiped the sugarcane with her sleeve, and reluctantly handed the sugarcane to Feng Suzhen's mouth: "I'll give you a bite, just one bite!"

Feng Suzhen laughed, and took a big bite of sugarcane with her hand: "It's really sweet."

The setting sun reflected the smoke from the kitchen. A blue-clothed knight half-lyed on the roof of the lobby of the Patrol House, squinting slightly, staring at the two people in the courtyard, feeling like he was looking at a freehand painting.

He raised an altar of misidentified water, raised his head and poured the sweet wine down his throat.

After dinner, the husband and wife were walking back home. Feng Suzhen recalled the bleak figure she saw before leaving, and said, "Princess, I suddenly feel that you are very lucky. The people you met are rare in the world." good boy."

Tianxiang said in surprise: "Feng Shaomin, this is the most narcissistic thing I've ever heard someone say!"

"...I didn't mention me," Feng Suzhen paused, "Princess, now you recognize both Yijian Piaohong and Master Zhang as righteous brothers, where does your love go?"

Tianxiang smiled and said: "Didn't I tell you? There is someone in my heart, someone who can't be together."

Feng Suzhen was a little confused, who is that person?Besides Yijian Piaohong and Zhang Shaomin, is there a third person?

Tianxiang suddenly changed her serious expression: "I originally thought that I was just greedy for a while, and if I can't get it, I can't get it. But now I figured it out, what the hell, I have to get it, it's not greed, it's obsession Read it, no one can stop it!"

Feng Suzhen raised her eyebrows intimidated by the determination in her words, and said: "I wish the princess all wishes come true."

Tian Xiangdao stared at her, and said: "Until my wish comes true... brother-in-law, it's up to you."

Feng Suzhen was confused, and there was some fear in her heart: "What do you mean by the princess?"

Tianxiang patted her on the shoulder vigorously: "Before my wish comes true, play the role of my son-in-law well!"

Suddenly, Feng Suzhen nodded again and again, cupped her hands and said with a smile: "That's natural."

When the lights first come on, the Wanjia lights only shine on the kang in front of my desk, but not the figures of the young couple walking side by side. The four-fold night is like a black cloak, hiding the two at the end of the long royal street.
