The general will give birth soon

Emperor Chengxuan rolled up his cuffs and trousers, squatted by the pond with a small fishing net and tossed about. Xiao Yuheng finally understood the real intention of Yuan Si asking him what he likes to eat.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chengxuan learned to be devious, and also knew how to ask the children to explore the way first.

Emperor Chengxuan leaned over to test it awkwardly, and the pond squeaked.The side of the pond was slippery, Xiao Yuheng was afraid that the dignified emperor would accidentally fall into the water and break it, so he wanted to go up to check the situation, but was stopped immediately by Emperor Chengxuan.

"Brother Heng, don't come here, I'll be fine soon!"

As if Xiao Yuheng had intervened, his heroic career of fishing would not be so pure.

Emperor Chengxuan swooped again and again, and the fish kept slipping from his hands. He was anxious, and he simply went all out. He rushed forward and embraced with both arms, and he lay down on the side of the pond, half of his body stretched into the water.

But fortunately, there was no miscalculation this time, and the bosom fluttered, and it must have been full.

"Your Majesty!" Xiao Yuheng rushed to meet him.

Emperor Chengxuan got up, his bunt shirt was almost soaked.Xiao Yuheng twisted the water for him and said: "Your Majesty is already in his thirties, why are you still like a child, if something happens..."

"It's all right! Brother Heng, look!" Emperor Chengxuan didn't care at all, and happily revealed a little gap in the fishing net he was holding in his arms, in which the three-tailed fat fish jumped about, "Is this perch? Or mandarin fish? "

Xiao Yuheng looked at him helplessly, stretched out his hand and pointed inward, "This one is a crucian carp, and those two are herrings."

Emperor Chengxuan felt embarrassed immediately, and hurriedly turned around and said, "It's okay, crucian carp and herring are also cooked. Where is the kitchen? I'll go right away..."

"Your Majesty, go back to your room and change your clothes first, and be careful not to catch a cold." Then he called the attendants hidden in the depths and asked them to take the fish down.

Emperor Chengxuan followed Xiao Yuheng back to the house, and said as he walked: "It's hot now, and it's refreshing to be so wet, how can you catch a cold." !"

Xiao Yuheng sighed repeatedly in his heart, taking care of Yuansi and Qinghui was never so troublesome before.

In the bedroom, Emperor Chengxuan sat on the bed and stretched his arms. Xiao Yuheng shook off his shirt and put on a sleeve.

"Your Majesty didn't bring any other clothes, so I had no choice but to presume to let Your Majesty wear my clothes first."

Emperor Chengxuan didn't know how happy he was dressed, and said casually: "It's just a small matter, it doesn't matter."

"Why did His Majesty come here suddenly?"

He has been recuperating here for half a year, and it was the first time for Emperor Chengxuan to come here. Apart from being surprised, he was actually quite happy.

But Emperor Chengxuan would be wrong, and quickly explained: "Brother Heng, don't worry, I have taken care of all the official affairs in the court. Today is really free. It's okay if I go out for a walk occasionally. And I won't stay longer, I Return to the palace tonight."

The tone is urgent and fearful, in fact, many times before, Emperor Chengxuan used this tone when talking to him, but he didn't realize it before.

Xiao Yuheng sighed, and after contemplating for a while, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I... don't want to blame Your Majesty."

Emperor Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment, and there seemed to be something different in the air.

His heart was pounding, he hesitated and said: "Brother Heng, now that I'm here, don't you call me that anymore, okay? I, I want to be with you... an ordinary couple."

Xiao Yuheng stopped buttoning his coat, and Emperor Chengxuan became nervous, afraid that he would say something distant again, so he quickly stood up, buttoned the button casually, and said: "That's it, I still have to go into the kitchen, the outside Don't wear any clothes now."

He took a few steps outside, then turned around again, "Brother Heng, I recently learned a few fish recipes from the imperial dining room, and I'll cook them for you."

He was also afraid that Xiao Yuheng would criticize him for not doing his job properly, so he left quickly after speaking, and became more nervous when he heard the footsteps of Xiao Yuheng following behind him, but what he didn't expect was that what came with the footsteps was a shallow and heartwarming call .

"Ayan."

Emperor Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment, his bones were a little crisp.

"Huh...huh?" He turned around in surprise.

A gentle smile appeared on Xiao Yuheng's gentle face, "Be careful."

Emperor Chengxuan was overjoyed, the corners of his mouth and brows curved in disbelief, then he nodded heavily, and happily ran into the kitchen.

Facts have proved that Xiao Yuheng's "be careful" is very prescient.

Emperor Chengxuan had a lot of things to do every day, and it was extremely difficult to find time to learn cooking, and he wanted to show Xiao Yuheng as soon as possible, so he only learned the three methods of steaming, braised in brown sauce and making soup according to Yuansi's report.

When learning and practicing, the fish used are all prepared by the imperial chef and placed in front of them.Being inexperienced, he naturally thought that filleting fish was the easiest process, but when he entered the kitchen today, he realized that it was too simple.

Three live fish were placed in the water basin by the attendant, Emperor Chengxuan reached out and grabbed one, before it was delivered to the chopping board, he slipped away and jumped around on the ground.

Emperor Chengxuan bent over to chase around, but he couldn't catch him no matter what, the emperor's self-esteem was greatly hit.

Sitting in the room, Xiao Yuheng couldn't stop thinking about A Yan who was always surprising him, so he approached the kitchen softly, intending to leave without disturbing him just by looking through the window.

As a result, before he got close, he could hear the chaos in the kitchen, and when he took a closer look, the water was splashing everywhere, and he had a panoramic view of the scene of Emperor Chengxuan fighting with the three fish.

Emperor Chengxuan was so focused on fish management that he didn't pay attention at all. He didn't realize that he was finished until he turned around and bumped into someone.

So humiliating.

Originally, he wanted to show Xiao Yuheng his talents, so why did he become an ugly show?

Why does this happen every time? !

Surprisingly, Xiao Yuheng actually smiled and said, "I thought I could smell the fragrance of fish at this time."

Emperor Chengxuan was so ashamed that he lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly.

Xiao Yuheng gently touched his face like a child, and then worked together with him to catch the fish back into the basin and rinse it clean, and together they grabbed another fish and pressed it on the cutting board.

Emperor Chengxuan lifted the saber, held his breath for a long time at Xiao Yuheng's slippery creature, his hands trembling.

Xiao Yuheng smiled as he watched him hold his breath.

"Although Ah Yan was naughty since he was a child, he was always kind and compassionate towards such small things. He must be a benevolent king."

Emperor Chengxuan didn't know whether it was a compliment or a mockery, but he stared at the fish for a long time, and finally lost. With a long sigh, he tied the kitchen knife heavily on the cutting board, and retreated to the corner in frustration.

Xiao Yuheng didn't know how to do these things either, so he asked the cooks from other courtyards to prepare the fish first, and then changed to Emperor Xuan.

Emperor Chengxuan didn't want to make any more troubles, so he drove everyone out of the kitchen, and carefully cooked the notes he had written down earlier. He tossed about a meal for nearly two hours.

Three-tailed fish, one plate of steamed, one plate of braised, and one cup of white milk soup.

The steamed one is poured with fresh juice, the braised belly is wrapped with straw mushrooms and fungus, shellfish and ginseng are added to the soup, and there is a plate of Qingqing vegetarian dishes for decoration.

Emperor Chengxuan usually let Xiao Yuheng taste the treasures offered by Emperor Chengxuan. Xiao Yuheng tasted them one by one, tasted them carefully, and finally praised: "A Yan is amazing, he can be regarded as half an imperial cook."

One sentence wiped away all the previous depression of Emperor Chengxuan, and he was overjoyed and confident. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks and ate together with Xiao Yuheng. Presumably, ordinary couples are like this.

"Brother Heng, recently checked the warehouses in the palace, and found that some scrolls from the past were all written by everyone. Among them are some winter plums. I brought them to you this time. You can see where they are hung. After dinner, I will Hang it up for you."

Xiao Yuheng stared at Emperor Chengxuan who was eating rice happily like a child, and said, "Did Si'er say that I like plum blossoms?"

Emperor Chengxuan nodded while eating, "Yes."

"Has Na Si'er ever said, why do I like it?"

Emperor Chengxuan was taken aback for a moment, then raised his head, "No, no."

Xiao Yuheng smiled, got up and went to the cabinet to get a small thing out, and handed it to Emperor Chengxuan.

A hollow and carved round wooden box half the size of a palm looks very delicate.

Emperor Chengxuan was taken aback, this thing seems to be...

"In the first winter I spent with Ayan, the queen mother put small flowers of wintersweet in this box and gave it to Ayan. It smelled fragrant when it was hung on her body. Ayan liked it very much. He said that such a good thing must be given as a gift. Brother Heng..."

Emperor Chengxuan couldn't help opening his eyes wide.

Xiao Yuheng lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Since then, this wooden box has always been by my side, and I have always liked plum blossoms."

"Brother Heng..." Emperor Chengxuan was moved.

"Ayan's simplicity and affection are unmatched by any number of masterpieces."

After dinner, the two of them sat in the courtyard, drinking tea, watching the green and colorful flowers in the vegetable bed, watching the green clouds chasing the distant mountains, and listening to the sound of the wind and the tinkling of the pond.

Not long after it started to rain, the two of them sat in the corridor and set up a chess game. They didn't want to fight freely, but chatted while chatting leisurely.

The rain didn't stop until the evening, it seemed that God deliberately kept guests.

Emperor Chengxuan looked at the rain curtain with his hands behind his back. Everything today made him so happy. When it was time to leave, he was very reluctant to part with it, but he had already promised Xiao Yuheng in advance, and he could not go back on his word. Besides, Xiao Yuheng had always liked his hard work. look.

He lowered his head, tried hard to make up his mind, and finally said: "Brother Heng, then... I will leave first, and I will... come to see you some other day."

Then he turned and left.

Xiao Yuheng grabbed his sleeves and looked at his face seriously, "The mountain road is difficult in the rain, why not go tomorrow."

Emperor Chengxuan was overjoyed, "This...but..."

"Tomorrow is not a big court meeting. If you are free these days and have arranged everything, it is also possible to go back to open the morning court at noon." Xiao Yuheng turned to look at the rain curtain, "Night has come, so I am also worried about going this way. "

Emperor Chengxuan's eyes glowed with joy, and he raised his palms up, "That, that's good... I won't be an example, I, I promise."

Xiao Yuheng couldn't help laughing again at that dumb and upright look.

After taking a bath, the emperor and empress lay flat on the bed and behaved themselves.

Xiao Yuheng's palpitations require a pure heart and as few desires, neither agitation nor hard work. Emperor Chengxuan dared not make fun of his body, not to mention that with today's happiness, he is already very satisfied to be able to lie in one place like this.

It's just that he was a little too satisfied, and he couldn't sleep.

Looking at the silhouettes of the people around him in the dark, and listening to the breath in the air, he made preparations and said, "Brother Heng, are you still angry with me?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yuheng didn't sleep, his voice was very clear.

"It's just... I knew I was wrong about the personal conquest without telling you, really."

"It's not all your fault."

Emperor Chengxuan was taken aback.

"At that time, I was anxious. I couldn't help thinking one-sidedly, and my words were inappropriate. Later, I thought about it carefully. The reason why Ayan wanted to please me was probably because I didn't have enough confidence in you. Or it was because we were all rigid in some things. In the past, when we got along, we couldn't help being restrained. In fact, some things have been discussed. When you and I understand the boundaries of each other's likes and dislikes, it will be fine. The way of husband and wife, you and I have not cultivated enough in the past, but fortunately, there are many more in the future time."

"Brother Heng..." Emperor Chengxuan was overjoyed.

"In addition, when the first emperor was seriously ill, he still couldn't let go of the South Expedition, and he told me to help you well, which more or less made me feel pressured, so I didn't dare to make any mistakes in my actions later on."

Xiao Yuheng turned sideways, put his hand on Emperor Chengxuan's chest, and cuddled him tightly, "However, I now understand what Mr. Shen Hezi said earlier about 'relief'. I used to worry about this and that, but in my eyes Not a little bit of sand, but if you lose your life because of this, and you can’t stay with your important people, wouldn’t it be putting the cart before the horse? So I have to change my mind, because I still want to be with my Ayan, with my thoughts Er, Qing Hui and Shu Er."

"Brother Heng, you..." Emperor Chengxuan became excited.

"In short, in my heart, there is nothing more important than Ayan. Monarchs, masters and apprentices, playmates, husband and wife, lovers, from the beginning of our acquaintance, these things have probably been inseparable. Why are you and me? If you have to distinguish, isn’t that asking for trouble?”

Emperor Chengxuan was shocked, "You, you are right."

Xiao Yuheng laughed, "Let's wait for the next time. The next time Ayan comes to visit me, my body must be fine. Then we will have a good time, and I will also miss Ayan in my heart... for a long time."

In midsummer, the mountains are refreshing, the cicadas and frogs are singing slightly, and the rain is pattering.

Emperor Chengxuan lowered his upper body, carefully hugged Xiao Yuheng in his arms, and kissed the corners of his eyes and eyebrows restrainedly, as if treating the most precious treasure in the world.
