The happy life of the devil and the devil

Perhaps because he was aware of Ling Yucheng's protection of Xiao Shiyi, Yuan Shao called the youngest son to him from time to time for five or six consecutive days.Either having lunch together, or correcting his archery posture hand in hand, or correcting his calligraphy with his own hand.So much so that on this day, when Princess Qinghe entered the palace to pay her respects, Yuan Shao left her daughter to eat with her, and Xiao Shi was actually accompanying her.

Princess Qinghe, who had lunch with her younger brother for the first time, looked at the little boy a lot.

Before, half of them were young, and half were not favored. Unless it was a family reunion banquet like Mid-Autumn Festival or New Year's Eve, the eleventh prince had never appeared at the same dinner table with his brothers and sisters.Today is not a year or a festival, and he was able to serve at the table. It can be seen that it is not a rumor that Xiao Shiyi is getting more and more favored.

Although Princess Qinghe hadn't set foot in the palace for several months because of the serious injury of her son-in-law, who is the only princess under Yuan Shao's knee?At the age of twelve or thirteen, she managed the palace affairs with her mother and concubine. It can be said that there are notable female officials and eunuchs in the palace that she doesn't know.Even now, the Shaofu Ling who is in charge of supplying the royal family's expenses is also under her sect, and the harem is basically unowned. Isn't it easy for her to know some news?

Looking carefully, this little brother, who is not yet six years old, is wearing a royal blue brocade jacket with tight and narrow sleeves, which is neatly tidied up.The little guy has not yet reached the age of wearing a crown, and his dark hair is tied into a small braid. The end of the braid is tied with a red string, and a finger-sized pearl is attached to the end.This pearl is clean and flawless, even the big pearl used to make her hairpin is precious enough, but it is just used casually to tie the child's hair, making people sigh that it is indeed a rich and noble family.

Because of his young age, Little Eleven could only reach the table while sitting on a special high chair.But the chair is only a bit higher, and the rest is exactly the same as the armchairs used by adults. Children sit on it without leaning on all sides, empty.Little Eleven was able to sit there steadily, with his back straight, and he didn't try to lean on the back of the chair or hold the armrest after half the meal.

Seeing her looking at the younger brother sitting opposite him one after another, Yuan Shao thought about it, and a smile was already on the corner of his mouth. "It's been a long time since you entered the palace—is the son-in-law feeling better?"

"I'm worried about my father, it's much better." Although my father-in-law's injury was specially referred to the imperial physician for diagnosis and treatment, and he called the imperial physician to answer every now and then, the medicinal materials rewarded by the family were piled up in half the room, But there must be some pleasantries.Princess Qinghe smiled lightly: "When it's the Lantern Festival, I will almost be able to watch the lanterns with my father."

"The injury lasted a hundred days, not to mention that Ah Ye was seriously injured this time." Yuan Shao nodded lightly: "Come and tell Father if you lack anything. I heard that you returned two calls on the way to the palace today." People give way, why bother? Don’t say that Ah Ye is just recovering from his injuries, even if he can no longer mount a horse or draw a bow, you are still the daughter of the emperor, and the princess of my Great Liang!”

Princess Qinghe lowered her face slightly, but smiled softly.It's perfectly normal for the rich and powerful to fight for road, and when Ah Ye was seriously injured, it was inevitable that someone would kick their noses in the face.It's just that one thing more is worse than one thing less, but that doesn't mean she's afraid of anyone.

So what if the son-in-law is banned for half a year?So what if he was dismissed from office and fined his salary, and General Habayashi was replaced?That day, the father and the emperor were not heard from, and the son-in-law disappeared, so she dared to say the phrase "Habayashi guards obey the imperial edict" in Zhaoxin Hall!If Habayashi Wei's power is left aside just for the son-in-law's recuperation, she will be the Princess of Great Liang in vain!

The smile on Yuan Shao's face deepened.His daughter is gentle and gentle in front of her father and her husband, she looks like a little bird, but she has her own ups and downs in her heart.Looking up and down, the precious daughter's clothes are luxurious, and Yingluo is dignified, but her face is always less radiant and charming, and there is even a faint tiredness between her brows. It is hard work to take care of the consort's injury these days——

"It's a pity that Ah Ye was injured at an untimely time." He sighed loudly on purpose:

"It's been several years since you got married. I originally thought that there should be good news, but Ah Ye was seriously injured at this juncture. It seems that I have to wait a few more years if I want to hug my grandson... "

"Father!"

The princess's jade cheeks flew up two red clouds, and she stomped her feet lightly, but she was coquettish and reluctant.Yuan Shao poured himself a large glass of wine, looked at his daughter with flushed cheeks, and then at his younger son sitting on the high chair, who was somewhat dazed, shook his head and laughed loudly:

"Okay, okay, I won't take Ah Ye out on this east tour, let him accompany you well. It will also save you from being so greedy when you see your brother!"

He did what he said, and after the Shangyuan Festival, when he took his important ministers and generals to Yu'erlo, Yuan Shao really didn't pull out the son-in-law.Not only the son-in-law, but even Kang Wang, who was newly married for less than a year, also stayed in the capital.The prince usually stays to oversee the country, so when he went to Yu'erluofang Haidongqing to catch swans this year, the only children who accompanied him were the eleventh prince who had just turned six years old.

This time, Yuan Shao did not choose the route he had taken in the past two years. Instead, he took the east route and exited from the territory of Guangwuwei.Once entering the grassland, it is the territory of the Dingling and Bohai tribes.

"This road is relatively short. You don't need so many feasts on the road, so you can walk more slowly. When you arrive at Yu'erlo, you've caught swans, and the weather is warmer. Then you can slowly return to Beijing from the Xi Clan's territory." Yuan Shao stood by the high curtain with his hands behind his back, his eyes flicked over the clusters of tents under the rammed earth platform, across the endless snow field, and fell straight to the white mountains stretching at the end of the sky. Said in a low voice like talking to himself:

"Otherwise, adults don't care, I'm afraid children won't be able to bear it. That's the way my father took me on my first tour of the east."

It turned out that it was because he was afraid that the child would not be able to stand the cold... Ling Yucheng lowered his head and looked at the little apprentice who was standing in the middle of the tent and was trying to put on the big clothes for going out.After all, young children are not as cold-resistant as adults, and even if they can, adults are reluctant to let him be exposed to the cold.So the three inner layers and the outer three layers on the body are fully twice as thick as adults.

At this moment, Xiao Shiyi was wearing a thick leather jacket, and was trying to tie a knot on the strap of the mink fur cloak on his shoulders.The two servants on the side were bent low, one was holding a raccoon fur scarf, the other was holding a warm hat with a pair of small warm ears on top of the hat.The little guy repeated several times before he tied a neat bow under his chin. He turned his head to look at the warm hat, and his little face wrinkled into a ball:

"Master, can you not wear this—"

"What do you say?"

"Woo..." The little apple's face turned bitter instantly, Yuen Long pouted, obediently took off the ear warmers and put them on, then wrapped the bib around his neck twice, covering his mouth, nose and cheeks tightly, Only two tufts of soft white hairs are exposed on the tips of the ears.Finally put on the warm hat, at first glance, the whole person has become a small ball of hair, leaving only two eyeballs exposed, rolling back and forth.

"Master—"

"Well, let's go."

The little guy cheered and rushed out.When passing by Ling Yucheng's side, Ling Yucheng moved his fingers, but finally resisted not stretching out his claws, and slammed twice on the little furry head.Teacher's dignity, teacher's dignity, it's really hard to keep this stuff——

Over there, Little Eleven had already rushed past Yuan Shao who was standing at the door of the big tent, and ran out of the tent impatiently.It was freezing cold outside the pass, and it snowed heavily last night, tearing cotton and wadding, and there was a foot of snow on the roof of the tent.The front of the tent where the emperor lived was naturally cleaned and flattened, but no one cared about the thick fresh snow on both sides of the road. The sergeants standing guard at the gate of the big tent had already put on knee-high riding boots, and stepped on it, the dense, thick and soft The new snow did not reach the calf.

After only a dozen steps, the little guy stumbled hard and rolled out.He danced wildly with his hands and feet, struggled and stroked a few times in the thick and soft new snow, and managed to straighten up his upper body.He tentatively wanted to take a step, but just stepped on his foot, his entire thigh was not in the snow, and the snow poured straight into the boot shaft.Turning his head, the snow that was pushed to both sides of the road was simply a tall snow wall.

Behind him, Haha's laughter suddenly rose.

"Father!" Another attempt to walk on his own was unsuccessful, Little Eleven turned his head and stretched out both hands to Yuan Shao pitifully.

Woohoo, father is the worst... Seeing Lang'er doing like this, not only came to save him, but he was still smiling so happily...

Amidst the laughter, Yuan Shao strode forward, grabbed his youngest son by the collar with one hand, and pulled him out of the snow, shaking his hands high in the air.Fine snow particles fell from the scarf, cloak, and boots, but they couldn't shake it clean for a while, and even the eyebrows and the bridge of the nose were stained with small snowdrops, as embarrassing as possible.

Yuan Shao laughed fiercely again, threw his youngest son into the air twice, and then carried him back to the tent with his own hands.A servant had already rushed to get a change of clothes, Ling Yucheng watched the little guy change up and down, poured him another bowl of ginger soup, and then pinched the root of the red ear:

"Do you know why you are not allowed to ride the horse by yourself? - You can't even walk in front of the horse in such heavy snow!"

This delay made it half an hour late for the large group of people to break out of camp and set off.Xiao Shiyi obediently sat in front of Ling Yucheng's horse, looking around, excited to the point of 12.It was the first time he was far away from the capital, and seeing this vast snowfield, even if there was nothing but Bai Xue in front of him, he could stare at it without blinking, and he would not get bored for an hour.

"Lang'er, is it cold?"

"not cold……"

While asking, Ling Yucheng took off his gloves and touched the child.It's cold in winter, even on a rare sunny day with no wind, the half of the little guy's exposed face is flushed red from the cold.Fortunately, the little hands shrunk in the leather muff are warm, and there is an apple-sized hand stove inside that also has heating. As for the face and hands, they have been coated with thick facial fat in advance, so there is no need to worry about being cracked by the cold wind for a while up.

He was walking with Yuan Shao at the moment.Jinwuwei, Habayashiwei, Xuanjiawei, plus the local patriarchs who came to protect them, the long line could not see the head and the tail.Impatiently, the two of them simply rode their horses and ran away far away, galloping to their heart's content in the endless snow field.Suddenly a red shadow flashed by the corner of his eyes, and before he could turn his head to take a closer look, Xiao Shiyi had already yelled:

"Fox!" He twisted his body on the saddle, stretched out his little hand directly from the muff, pointed forward, and raised his voice:

"Master, I want a fox!"
