drunk spring branch

The moment he fell, Jing Zhu had no idea.I have done so many naughty things since I was a child, so a little injury is nothing.It's just that when it really fell with the broken branches, the faint sandalwood smell that filled the nose was unexpected.

Unexpectedly, Ming Xuanyu stretched out his arms to him again, really wanting to catch him who fell down.The first reaction was not to hurt the prince, so when Jing Zhu fell into Ming Xuanyu's arms, he stood firm and immediately turned around.Affected by inertia, Ming Xuanyu did not fall on his back, but turned sideways, and was pressed against the courtyard wall by Jing Zhu.

The rapid breathing beat each other's ears, Ming Xuanyu only felt itchy, and Jing Zhu also quickly opened the distance, seeing that he was standing still, and then gently removed the palm behind his head .

"It's cold and the walls are cold, get up quickly. And... thank you."

Jing Zhu tidied up his clothes, showing an extremely sunny smirk.

However, Ming Xuanyu remained expressionless, as if nothing had happened, just nodded symbolically, and moved his eyes to the distance.

Maizi ran out of the house when he heard the noise, with a flustered expression, a lot of pastry crumbs stuck to the corners of his lips, and his mouth was full, like a little hamster stealing food, patting his chest with his small hands, intending to eat as soon as possible. swallow.

"Maizi, help him into the house to rest."

Ming Xuanyu glanced at the people beside him, and ordered.

"Okay, good lord..."

Maizi wiped her mouth, stretched out her small hand to rub against the corner of her clothes, and grabbed Jing Zhu's arm.

Seeing Jingzhu being dragged into the house by Maizi, Ming Xuanyu sighed softly, pursed his lips, and brushed off his clothes.

"It's rare for the prince to come to the other courtyard when he is free, so what's the matter?"

Jing Zhu curled his lips and said in a muffled voice.

It's rare to see him recently. I didn't expect that the prince not only disappears like a ghost, but also prepares to come and go without a trace.He escaped over the wall and was caught, but he didn't say a word.Jing Zhu felt irritated inexplicably, but regretted it when he said it.After all, this huge palace belongs to King Xiang, so how can you manage where he likes to go?

Ming Xuanyu was not annoyed, he stopped to look back after hearing the sound, he was already holding the handle of the Snow Jade Lotus fan in his hand, rubbing his fingertips.

"If Mr. Jing regards this palace as a shackle, would you be interested in going out with me?"

Ming Xuanyu held the fan with both hands, and said slowly.

Haha, wish for it.Although Jing Zhu was happy in his heart, he also imitated Ming Xuanyu's indifferent appearance, but there was an uncontrollable smile on the corner of his lips.

Seeing that Jingzhu didn't speak, Ming Xuanyu simply cut to the chase and spoke thoroughly.As New Year's Eve approaches, I feel homesick.Of course, the unfinished hut cannot be lived in temporarily, but it is not impossible to go home and visit the neighbors.

In the early morning of the next day, Ming Xuanyu sent all kinds of family-visiting gifts to the street where Jingzhu was before. Although it was a suburban slum with a small number of people, they were delivered to every household, especially those who prepared generous gifts. , sent to Dou Zi and his grandma's home.

While lamenting that the lord is very hardworking, while rubbing the empty wine gourd at his waist, Jing Zhu hums a little tune and walks in front, Ming Xuanyu still follows with a blank expression, and behind them is a lively Maizi who jumps up and down .

"I said, you are also a prince after all, you don't sit in a sedan chair or ride a horse, just walk with me like this, isn't it a bit... out of order?"

Jing Zhu glanced secretly at the personable man in the fine clothes and body.

"What's wrong? I often go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion alone, without anyone to follow, and I don't need those to open the way. But your son is so lively, is it also against the rules?"

Ming Xuanyu continued to walk, saying joking words in a serious manner.

"This...hey, brat! Don't pull other people's rattles!"

Jing Zhu was speechless for a moment, but when he turned around, he saw the lively wheat bouncing around in front of other people's stalls.

But before Jing Zhu could pull the brat away, Ming Xuanyu had already taken a step ahead, and moved to the front of the stall, took out a gold ingot, bought the rattle that Maizi had just grabbed, and took the next Exactly the other one.

The small vendor was dumbfounded. Where had he seen such a battle, two rattles for one gold ingot?He waved his hands again and again, saying that it didn't take so much.

And Ming Xuanyu just shook his head, rolled up the cuff on the other side with one hand, withdrew the hand that gave Jinding, and handed the two rattles to Maizi.

"Thank you...thank you fairy daddy!"

The happy Maizi took one in each hand and changed his words cleverly.

Behind him, Jing Zhu's eyes almost rolled to the sky.He has always referred to Maizi as the cheap son he picked up, but he did not expect him to be the cheap daddy.And the lavish prince naturally became a fairy father.This trick hugs the thigh, which makes it wonderful.

"But, Daddy Fairy, why did you buy two? One is enough for me."

Maizi raised her face and pouted.

"Where we are going in a while, there will be a little boy who is about your age. If you like it, he probably won't hate it. You might as well give it to him."

Ming Xuanyu stroked Maizi's messy hair, without the slightest dislike.

This unlucky boy, his hair is probably used to blowing up.Ever since she ate, drank and rubbed against her father, and entered the palace, every time she took a bath, her hair would still be disheveled like weeds.Even after washing it, it still looked like a mess, as if he was bluffing like himself.

Beans, by contrast, are much quieter.Although there are only him and his grandma in the family, and life is not rich, they try their best to keep themselves neat and clean.

The other rattle must have been bought by Ming Xuanyu as a gift to Douzi.Unexpectedly, this icy prince is actually gentle and meticulous in his heart.

Coming to the familiar street, looking at the dilapidated and desolate scenery around, Jing Zhu felt a moment of relaxation in his heart.The slum streets in the outskirts of the city can't compare with the luxurious and gorgeous palaces. There are only a few thatched cottages here and there scattered crookedly.

Some children were curiously lying behind the trees on the side of the road, and at the corner of the house, they all quietly stared at this distinguished guest who was out of place here.Some children chattered in groups of three or four, while others were snatched away by the adults at home.

Ming Xuanyu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and frowned slightly.Fortunately, they arrived at the destination soon, Jing Zhu was always by his side, pushed aside the fence, and walked into the nearest thatched hut by the stone road with him.

A table of home-cooked meals that are not very rich but very attentive, it can be seen that Grandma Douzi is very nervous, the hands that serve the dishes are always trembling slightly, afraid of the identity of this distinguished guest.Douzi was also busy pouring tea and water, being well-behaved and sensible.

In contrast, Maizi is much more casual.He leaned against Jingzhu and held a teacup to observe the surrounding environment in private, then grabbed a handful of melon seeds and started to nibble.Dou Zi cautiously refilled his tea, but he just smiled and rolled his big eyes, looking at Dou Zi very cautiously. boy.

They are both children, how can one be so cute and cute, and the other is like a rebellious child with silly eyebrows?Jing Zhu sighed, looked at Maizi and shook his head.

Grandma Douzi was afraid that the prince would blame the poor food, so she stood up tremblingly and explained that there was really no food in the house. After being persuaded by Ming Xuanyu and Yan, she tremblingly grabbed her chopsticks.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jing Zhu thought for a moment, ate with big mouthfuls, and jokingly narrated the experiences of these days, with exaggerated expressions and ups and downs of tone, causing everyone to listen attentively and laugh at times.

Of course, except for Ming Xuanyu, he still had that iceberg face that had never changed for thousands of years, no matter how funny he said, his expression didn't change at all.It seemed that that night in Suiyuexuan, the beauty who was slightly drunk and half-undressed was another King Xiang.

It will still be embarrassing if it goes on like this, so we have to find a way.

There are occasional children running past the window laughing and chasing, and the firecrackers they are holding are crackling amid innocent laughter.

"My lord, do you want to follow me up the mountain and go to the temple to burn incense and pray for blessings?"

Jing Zhu said with a smile.

After hearing this, Maizi stopped eating the rice, and looked up while chewing the food.Jing Zhu chuckled, blinked at Ming Xuanyu, and didn't forget to throw a salted peanut into his mouth.
