Vicissitudes know Jinhua

After dinner, Mu Zishi went to look for Qi Yupei, entered the Nuan Pavilion, and saw Qi Yupei half lying on the couch, telling Yang Zhan what to do in a low voice.

Zhan Shizhe, the decree governing the various government offices of the Eastern Palace, is actually the head of the Eastern Palace. Be as cautious as an ox, be as loyal as a dog, drive the sheep like a wolf externally, and protect the cubs internally.

Yang Pingshan bowed and listened, but asked hesitantly: "Family...does anyone stay?"

Qi Yupei nodded: "Since you've done it, let's do it. Wan Jing will have no relatives and only benefactors in the future, so I can rest assured that he will take care of the village."

Yang Pingshan's eyes slid across Mu Zishi's face very quickly: "I will do it now."

Qi Yupei said humbly: "I know you've always been impeccable in everything you do, but this matter...you have to use your utmost care."

Yang Pingshan said solemnly: "I assure you that there will be no negligence in this matter."

Watching Yang Pingshan go out, Mu Zishi made a face, took off his sheepskin boots without saying a word, climbed up and sat next to Qi Yupei, and asked with a smile: "What is he going to do? He's sneaky..."

Qi Yupei rubbed his temples and said, "Good thing."

Mu Zishi took his arm and shook it vigorously: "Tell me! Who is Wan Jing?"

Qi Yupei smiled, and there was no trace of blood on his snow-white face: "Wan Jing is a very useful and reliable person...but I hope you don't have to deal with him for the rest of your life."

He knew that Mu Zishi was small but he knew how to keep his mouth shut, so he didn't bother to force him to keep his mouth shut. He just changed the subject and asked, "You came in a hurry, what do you want to say to me?"

Mu Zishi thought for a moment: "Your Highness, my brother's name is Mu Ziyu, and Yu means beautiful jade, right?"

Qi Yupei nodded and said, "Yes, the word Yu has a very good meaning."

"But my name is Zishi, how can a stubborn stone compare to jade? Your Highness, you can turn a stone into gold, can you help me change my name?"

Qi Yupei sat up with one hand propped up, and the curvature of the back of the neck was thin and soft because of this posture: "Beautiful jade is certainly good, but I prefer your name Zishi."

Mu Zishi wondered, "Why? I don't understand."

Qi Yupei said softly: "Stones are simple and elegant, with the firmness of jade, the silence of gold, the sharpness of blades, and the toughness of mountains. They can flow clear springs, shelter from wind and rain, carve writing and ink, and carry cities... "

Smiling, he took Mu Zishi's small hand: "Give me Qian Ziyu, not as good as a Zishi."

Mu Zishi was stunned when he heard this, his eye circles were slightly red, and an indescribable surprise flashed in his eyes, so strong and true that he could sacrifice his soul at all costs to make the person in front of him smile.

Mu Zishi muttered for a long time, "I don't have to envy anyone anymore!"

After saying that, he rushed forward to rub against Qi Yupei with his head and cheeks, and then got up the courage to kiss the prince's thin lips. His posture and feelings were like a chick just hatched, reluctant to part with him.

And Qi Yupei's body has a kind of light and tranquil atmosphere, like a pool of water chestnut flowers after a light rain in late spring, pruning cleanly, helping to cool down.

A few days later, Mu Zishi, who was planning to celebrate the Lantern Festival, realized that the Zhaoxu Palace where he lived had been robbed, and he lost two things, a bow and a crossbow, and a bone bead, which happened to be Qi Wushang. Sent.

It was sunny after the snow, and Mu Zishi felt that he was a year older. He wanted to try the magpie painting bow on a whim, and ordered Bi Luo to get it. , the servant does not remember where the bow was received..."

Mu Zishi thought of the meticulous workmanship of the bow, and he hadn't pulled it even once, so he couldn't help feeling a little angry, his mouth pouted enough to hold an oil bottle, but he saw Bi Luo kneeling in front of him, with a panicked face and sweat on his forehead, changing from his usual charming smile With a gentle and appropriate appearance, but he couldn't bear to blame him, he hurriedly helped her up, and said, "Let's talk about it later if I can't find it. Anyway, I don't need to learn riding and archery for a while."

Unexpectedly, after changing her clothes, she was about to go out, unintentionally reached out and squeezed the purse at her waist, and couldn't help shouting: "My bone beads are gone!"

No wonder Bi Luo or others, the bone beads are the only relics left by Dan Hualing, Mu Zishi cherishes them like his own eyeballs, he puts them in his purse with his own hands, and puts them next to his pillow every night when he goes to sleep, and no one is allowed to touch them. bump.

So he was stunned for a long time on the spot, and the little hound also seemed to run around the room, and finally rolled on the bed and cried loudly: "My bone beads! My mother's bone beads!"

Biluo's heart sank, what kind of place is Zhaoxu Hall?How can a thief easily get in?Even if there are thieves who don't have a good eye, gold, pearls and jade are easily available, why do they steal these two things that are not easy to get rid of and are not worth much?

It's strange but I didn't dare to think about it. Thinking of such a thing, the maidservants in the Zhaoxu Palace were afraid that they would be fined, demoted, beaten, and even died. Sour and sad, I couldn't help crying silently.

The Zhaoxu Palace was so lively that someone rushed to report to Qi Yupei with quick legs and bright eyes.

When Qi Yupei heard this, he frowned and rushed over. Before entering the door, he heard Mu Zishi crying indistinctly, and his face became even more gloomy. Trembling and at a loss, Qi Yupei said impatiently: "What are you still doing? Push the door!"

Seeing Mu Zishi on the bed, Qi Yupei was only heartbroken and choked, and tried to suppress his displeasure: "Zi Shi!"

Hearing his voice, Mu Zishi suddenly raised his head and turned around, with a flash of hesitation in his eyes, he shouted, "Your Highness! My bone beads and bow..."

Qi Yupei interrupted lightly: "Understood."

Sitting upright on the chair, he said softly, "Bi Luo, stop kneeling, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Bi Luo was even more confused, Mu Zishi lost something, why couldn't he pick it up, the prince actually said it was irrelevant?

Qi Yupei stared at Mu Zishi, without concealing his anger: "We will talk after you finish crying."

At this moment, Mu Zishi was full of the whereabouts of those two things, and he was full of fireflies.

Qi Yupei, on the other hand, had a sullen face, and reprimanded him, pointing out that he was impetuous, self-willed, overbearing, arrogant, lazy and rude, and his crimes seemed to be hanging over the river. Mu Zishi was like a pearl yesterday, but today he has turned into a mud pig and a dog?

Qi Yupei trained for half an hour, drank three cups of tea, and finally punished Mu Zishi not to eat for a day-although he secretly asked Bi Luo to make a bowl of porridge for him after lighting the lamp, and he pretended not to know, but This is the most severe storm that Mu Zishi has encountered since entering the palace.

While feeding him porridge, Bi Luo persuaded him softly: "His Royal Highness is only angry for a while, it's not that he doesn't love you anymore... You should think twice about doing things in the future, and stop being childish."

Mu Zishi's eyes were slightly swollen from crying, he ate in silence, but after a long time he whispered incoherently: "Your Highness is really weird, what does he want those things for?"

After this battle, Bi Luo decided that Mu Zishi would not dare to cry in front of Qi Yupei anymore. After a few days, Mu Zishi cried again. The reason for crying was similar but the result was completely different. Bi Luo was dumbfounded. Can't figure it out.

But that night Mu Zishi was proudly pulling the rabbit lantern and wandering around Qi Yupeiman's East Palace. He accidentally tripped over a stone in the garden, and the rabbit lantern rolled over and caught fire.

This rabbit lamp was given by Qi Yupei. It is a good craftsmanship of the craftsmen in the palace. There is even a layer of snow-white fluff on the pasted gold-pasted tissue paper. The eyes are dotted with cinnabar three-petal mouth.

Mu Zishi watched helplessly that all the fluff of tissue paper stuck on the rabbit lamp turned into ashes, leaving only a skeleton of purple bamboo strips. He still had regrets about the bone beads three days ago, and suddenly felt unstoppable grief from it. Live half-truths and cried again.

The prince stopped in his tracks. Biluo thought that Mu Zishi was going to be hungry again, and was thinking of quietly preparing some pastries for him, but seeing Qi Yupei's brows brightened, he watched Mu Zishi cry for a long time with admiration and joy, and Fang praised with a smile : "One porridge and one meal should be thought of as hard-won, half a thread, half a thread, and constant remembrance and material strength. Zi Shi cherishes things, is polite, honest and virtuous, and cries very cute, very good, very good!"

Bi Luo looked down at the toe of the shoe, ouch, the shoes with light green locks and light yellow lines are so beautiful!

The next day, Qi Yupei gave Mu Zishi a new rabbit lamp, which was bigger, fatter and more beautiful. The rabbit's eyes were even made of red agate. In addition, he gave Mu Zishi a large box of preserved fruits, which made Mu Zishi's teeth go crazy. A few more small holes were mothed.

In the next few years, Qi Wushang would only go to Chenjing to present presents from Yongliang during festivals, and he would never forget Mu Zishi, a small bow and knife, a fur blanket, a singing sky bell bird, and once he even gave him a good horse. Dwarf pony.

However, those things are in Mu Zishi's hands, usually within half a month, they are either lost or dead. Mu Zishi also cried and sighed secretly a few times, but his mood faded. Finally resigned to his fate, what Qi Wushang sent him was empty joy and hunger.

In the end, Qi Wushang brought something again, Mu Zishi only looked at it indifferently, then threw it away or rewarded others.

Since entering the palace, three years have passed by without knowing it. It coincides with the winter solstice. According to the rules, there is a ceremony of "Longshi" in the study room. He and Qi Shaochong bowed to the saint, and then sat upright with their beards to accept their salute. At the end of the window, Mu Zishi and Qi Shaochong bowed to each other. Full ceremony.

Qi Shaochong was just six years old, and he was supposed to start school in the study of Renjin Palace like the rest of the princes, but somehow the Luo family used some means to get Qi Jin to agree that Qi Shaochong also entered the prince's East Palace study, and the rest of the princes in the palace The concubine secretly gritted her teeth and twisted the veil, scolding countless words in her heart about the third-married adulterer, her big appetite, her vicious methods!

Wu Shigui was able to teach one more student, Qi Yupei now only stays in the study for an hour a day, and listens to Yan Taifu's lectures on history and emperor's policy, so Qi Shao rushes to make a companion with Mu Zishi to read together every day.

After the master master finished, Mu Zishi took advantage of Wu Shigui's conversation with Qi Shaochong, hurriedly ran from the study room to the Nuan Pavilion of Zhaoxu Palace, Bi Luo wiped his hands and face, and gave him a hand warmer.

On the wall opposite the desk, there are nine double-hooked blank characters written by Qi Yupei, "weeping willows in front of the pavilion cherish the spring breeze".But it is the custom of the year, starting from the winter solstice, fill in one line every day, and when the nine characters are completed, it will be the end of the nine-nine-nine cold elimination and the green grass in spring.

Every year on the day before the winter solstice, Qi Yupei writes these nine characters and asks Bi Luo to hang them on Mu Zishi’s desk, so that he can fill them in every day no matter whether he is busy or busy. Zhijie cherishes the time and studies hard.

Mu Zishi even came up with his own ingenuity. Not only did he fill in a stroke every day, but he also used a vermilion pen to add notes in small letters, such as "the morning is sunny and the evening is raining, and the night wind is suddenly blowing", or "the blue sky is boundless." , Nuanqing eats candied melon walnuts, toothache does not regret it", there is also "Little Xue Feifei, His Highness wears sable fur, Zhilan jade grinds", and there is even "reading the Book of Changes and thinking hard, so I discard it and wait for it to be drunk or drink".

After a night of spring breeze, Qi Yupei took this precious and important calligraphy back and read it. He often laughed or thought about it late at night.

Mu Zishi warmed his hands, polished the ink himself, picked up a brush from the case, and was about to trace the dot of the word "Ting", when he heard the sound of footsteps, a very crisp and firm child's voice said: "Zi Shi, you didn't wait for me to leave school together!"

Mu Zishi sighed secretly, turned around and said, "Your Highness isn't going back to Liangyi Palace?"
