It's hard to be the king of rebirth

The snow fell for three days and three nights, and it didn't stop until the winter solstice.

In winter, the melting sunlight shines down, and the foot-deep snow melts with water marks. The weather when the snow melts is the coldest.

There is a habit of drinking soybean juice with coke rings for breakfast in Beijing. The soybean juice is sweet and sour, and sour and astringent. Some people love it, while others hate it.

Although this bean juice can be seen everywhere in every household in the capital, after all, it has a strong taste, and it is not elegant to put on the table, and it is fasted in the palace.On this day, the emperor sent someone to bring some back from outside the palace, just because Zhou Xu said that he was curious, he had never seen soy milk in his life, let alone drank it.

Sure enough, when the milky white and gray bowl was raised to his mouth, a pungent smell of swill came over his face, and he couldn't put it down.

The emperor looked at him, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "If you can't accept it, don't force it."

Zhou Xu leaned on the bed and also smiled: "The smell is a bit strong and strange, but it is also stronger than the smell of medicine in this room."

The emperor was silent for a moment when he heard the words, and said softly: "The imperial doctor changed the side medicine for you yesterday, which may be useful." As he said that, the palace servant brought the fried medicine and knocked on the door. Close the door, lest a trace of cold air leak in.

After three days of snow, Zhou Xu fell into a coma for three days. The emperor came every day, and even set up a table in this room, full of memorials.

Zhou Xu was a patient patient, no matter how bitter the medicine was brought to him, it would take a while for him to see the bottom, the emperor carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a towel and said: "This winter solstice, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat? dumpling?"

Zhou Xu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Shepherd's purse is pork, but there is no shepherd's purse in this season..."

The emperor smiled: "If you want to eat, you can have it—" After a pause, he continued: "I will warm up some rice wine in the evening, and you can drink two glasses with me, just like the time when I went to the garden to drink in March. still remember?"

Zhou Xu raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Why don't you remember that time, the minister was so proud that he took the emperor up to the roof to watch the moon and drink. Now that I think about it, it's really... pretending to be elegant." I wanted to laugh twice to match the atmosphere. , the smile was replaced by a cough, the emperor frowned, and gently patted Zhou Xu on the back.

"Wait until you're done and the spring is warm, and then accompany me to the roof to get drunk." Although the emperor smiled on the face, there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Zhou Xu smiled and said, "It's better to obey than to be respectful." He said haha, his eyes watered, and he felt sleepy.

Seeing his description like this, the emperor said softly, "If you're sleepy, rest first, I'll stay with you in this room."

Zhou Xu nodded, thinking that it may have been a day or two, and the time when his mind is clear is getting shorter and shorter, and he just wants to be with the pillow every day.As soon as his head hit the pillow, he felt sleepy.

The emperor tucked in the quilt for him, stared quietly at Zhou Xu, who was frowning tightly for a while, then reached into the quilt and grabbed Zhou Xu's hand, which was cold even in the warm quilt.I held it in my hand to warm it for a long time, but it was still cold.

Zhou Xu's consciousness was still a little clear, and he vaguely felt someone holding his hand, which warmed him up for a while.The man leaned down and murmured in his ear: "Hengzhi, you have a big belly, I'm always worried about what kind of tricks you will pull out, so I imprison you by my side—"

"Your illness is so urgent and strange. It's not that I haven't suspected it. There is fraud in it, but these days I often think that it is better to have a fraud than to be really ill. It means that you can live for a long time—"

"If you lie to me, you would rather cheat death than leave me, then I will let you go, but you are not reconciled, how can you be reconciled? Hengzhi, you originally only had me in your eyes—"

"You are not constant after all, but in my heart, it is actually you...Should I let you go far away, or let you die by my side from beginning to end—"

"Should I crush you to ashes—"

Frustrated, Zhou Xu's body seemed to tremble slightly, maybe the emperor was dazzled.

In the afternoon, there was another heavy snowfall, which turned into fine snow near dusk, and stopped after the lights were turned on.

The cold moonlight shone on the snow, making it white.

After warming the rice wine, the emperor went to the bed and called out a few times, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no sound, lost body temperature like this.

The emperor sat on the bed in a daze, and after a while, he actually smiled resignedly, after a while, his body began to tremble slightly, and after a while, the brilliance in his eyes faded away.

The rice wine that has just been warmed is completely cold.

After a long time, several imperial physicians knelt in the room, buried their heads low, and trembled violently. No matter how many times the diagnosis was made, this time the virtuous king really went, not to mention the pulse, his body began to stiffen , pierced the meridian with a needle, but there was no reaction.

The emperor sat next to the corpse of the virtuous king for an entire hour, his body trembling slightly, his eyes were red, for a long time, he closed his eyes, and said coldly: "Come on, burn the corpse of the virtuous king, it's in this courtyard Burned--"

"Burn it, burn it to ashes, put the ashes in this wine jar—"

Can the ashes be mixed with wine to make me drunk for a long time?

"Xiao Guizi, don't be foolish. Later, did the emperor burn the body of the virtuous king? Did he mix the ashes with wine? Hey... It's disgusting to think about it, did he?" A round-faced plate The court lady lowered her voice and asked eagerly with her eyes shining.

"Guess, Xing'er, guess what?" Xiao Guizi rolled his eyes, his story made Xing'er so interested and very happy.

"I guess...the emperor must not have burned it!" Xing'er bit her lip, her eyes twinkling, waiting for the answer.

"Hahaha Xing'er, you are too shrewd. Of course you didn't burn it. The yard was covered with snow that night. No matter how you burned it, the fire couldn't be ignited. The emperor probably thought it was God's will. He sighed, that's all. The dead body was buried secretly, guess what did the emperor put on the dead body of the virtuous king before the burial?" Xiao Guizi tricked him again.

Xing'er's eyes widened, and she hurriedly asked: "What? Little Guizi, brother, tell me quickly."

Xiao Guizi lowered her voice, and whispered in Xing'er's ear: "A white fur fox mask with a red totem painted on it, isn't it strange to you?"

Xing'er stomped her feet excitedly and said with a smile: "I know this, this is the Neng Noodles of Dongying Kingdom, I saw it at the market!"

Xiao Guizi hurriedly said: "Oh, my aunt, this is a big secret, let others hear me tell you, you and I are going to lose our heads, just keep your voice down..."

In March in Mobei, the wind and sand were extremely strong. As dusk approached, the flying sand covered the glowing sunset. The man carried a wine barrel, lifted the curtain of the tent, and went out to drink.Lie Lie's white clothes were dyed brilliant blood by the setting sun.

When the moon climbed up the sand dunes like a hook, the man came back, holding a bucket full of fruity wine, smiling brightly, with sand in his mouth.

Sitting in front of the desk, Li Sang flipped through a newly acquired sword manual. Seeing that the man came back, he didn't raise his eyes, frowning as if to reproach him: "Why have you been away for so long?"

The man chuckled twice: "Imani held me and talked for a long time, but this girl is warm and forthright. As soon as she is happy, this wine will be given to me—"

Seeing Li Sang snorted sullenly, his face turned pale, Zhou Xu stopped talking, knowing that he had overturned the jar of jealousy again, he hurriedly changed the subject with an apologetic smile: "I'm so hungry after talking for a long time—haha—hahaha——"

Li Sang glanced at him sideways, with anger and anticipation in his eyes, Zhou Xu's heart trembled when he saw it, "Yes, yes, please coax him tonight."

"You two big men, if you don't flirt and scold for a day, you will die!" Mu Yin turned to them angrily. The iron pan behind her was steaming, and Zhou Xu smelled the aroma of mutton all over the room. .

Zhou Xu's eyebrows were full of smiles, and he turned to Mu Yin and said, "Auntie..." Seeing Mu Yin's eyes wide open and glaring at him, Zhou Xu was shocked, and hurriedly changed his words: "What delicious food did Lady Mu cook?" Yinben was jealous that Zhou Xu called her old, and she was getting angry after a little friction with King Ning recently, so Zhou Xu coaxed her not to annoy her in every possible way.

"Tonight, you have a good meal. This is my new mutton hand-picked rice. Senior brother, you don't come to help." Mu Yin said to Li Sang, who was buried in the sword manual with a look of otherworldly fireworks.

Hearing this, Li Sang frowned, unwilling to raise his eyes, and said calmly: "The gentleman stays away from the kitchen."

"..."

"..."

Zhou Xu hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, and said to Mu Yin with a smile, "I'll do it, I'll do it..." He didn't dare to offend either of the two brothers and sisters.But it's too late to coax, why offend?

"Let me just say, Brother Zhou is more considerate of me. Brother Zhou, why don't you help me chop all the onions?" Mu Yin winked at Zhou Xu and said sweetly.

Zhou Xu understood, and replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, I will do whatever Yin'er asks me to do."

Sure enough, as expected by the two, the person behind him flicked the sword manual and said coldly: "No shame, no shame, messed up seniority."

The two exchanged glances, covered their stomachs and bent over laughing.

Mu Yin is originally from Wuling, and she can eat spicy food very well. She accidentally sprinkled a lot of chili peppers on the dishes. When Zhou Xu ate her dishes for the first time, his mouth was swollen for a whole day, and the hot smoke was coming out.

He rolled up his sleeves to help, and the ultimate goal was to supervise Muyin... It's not that Zhou Xu can't eat spicy food, it's his Asang who can't eat it, um...it's his fault, he couldn't control his strength in a moment of distraction last night... um ...So Li Sang didn't move around much today...and he looked uncomfortable while sitting...and his temper became bad...

Sure enough, Mu Yin grabbed thirty or forty peppers and was about to sprinkle them into the pot. Zhou Xu quickly stopped her hand and said, "Yin'er, why don't you put the peppers today?"

Mu Yin frowned, wondering: "Why? How can this dish be eaten without chili?"

Zhou Xu paused, and said with a smile, "Your senior brother can't eat spicy food, not at all."

Hearing this, Mu Yin frowned even tighter, and murmured: "No, I remember that brother eats spicy food—" Thinking about it, he shouted at Li Sang: "Senior brother, why can't you eat spicy food anymore? Where is it uncomfortable?"

Hearing this, Li Sang's complexion turned from blue to white to red, red orange yellow green blue blue purple, colorful and wonderful, his lips trembled, he hesitated to speak a few times, and stared at Mu Yin blankly.

"Ah! Senior brother, why do you look so ugly? What's wrong with you?" Mu Yin asked anxiously with a worried expression on her face.

"No... I'm not uncomfortable, and I can eat chili." Li Sang replied without confidence, shook his clothes, stood up slowly and moved outside the tent, wanting the evening wind to blow his hot face .

Mu Yin stared blankly at Li Sang, whose footsteps were a bit strange, and then at Zhou Xu, who was enduring his internal injuries with a smile. , The choking smell permeates.

"My dear aunt...!" Zhou Xu came back to his senses, looked at a pot of bright red peppers, and wailed with his hands on his forehead.
