In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the New Year's Eve is approaching.

The whole palace fell into a kind of anxious and busy again.

The secretary of the inner government was busy distributing red paper, window grilles, colored silk, palace lanterns and other things to the palaces.It was as grand as if the entire imperial city was going to be dressed up as a bride to be married.

The four Bureaus of Food, Design, and Clothing are equally busy. They have to rush to make new clothes for the festivals of the palaces, and prepare dishes for palace banquets. .

The concubines and concubines are busy searching for treasures and playthings all over the capital, and they are all preparing to shine at the palace banquet on New Year's Eve, overwhelming the crowd.

The princes are busy making friends with the ministers and clansmen. If the princes want to gain a firm foothold in the future, these courtesies are indispensable.

The second prince, Gu Zhi, has newly named Prince Rui, and will leave the palace to establish a mansion after the new year.Since the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, the reward cars leaving his palace have never stopped.

Without waiting for Gu Xiu to speak, Han Mochu asked someone to take all the rewards piled up in the warehouse out of the palace, and exchanged them for more than 100 routine gifts.

The four treasures of the study of the civil servants are the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the green frost sword is the gift of the military officer, regardless of the level of the gifted person.Not clinging to anyone, not alienating anyone, and all the etiquette, the remaining money, Han Mochu, wrapped a big red envelope with Baode, who had worked hard for a year, and moved the little eunuch to snot and tears.

Guiyun Palace became impoverished again.

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in central Beijing.

The auspicious snow heralds a good year, which is an excellent sign.

In the heavy snow, Gu Xiu was wearing a light and neat crow-colored tight-sleeve suit, holding a silver gun made of argentina wood and fighting against Han Mochu.

With one spear and one sword, the two of them flashed and moved in the wind and snow, flying up and down, their robes dancing freely and unrestrainedly.

Gu Xiu's skills became more and more sophisticated, and he was able to pass seventy moves under Han Mochu's hands without any effort.If Han Mo released the water at the beginning, he would be able to make about a hundred moves.

When the two were in full swing, the palace gate of Guiyun Palace was pushed open with a creak.

Only Princess Qingzhao, Gu Jin, can be so uninformed and not knock the door.

"Gu Yunchi, you don't wear a robe, how many times have you been called since the beginning of winter?" The princess's sullen voice sounded like thunder.

In Gu Jin's eyes, she couldn't see how neat and beautiful Gu Xiu's body was. She could only see her brother, who wanted to have it in her mouth, only wearing a single suit, and she didn't know that at all in the snow. The young teacher who loves the boy is making nonsense.

Before Gu Xiu had finished using the flat-ground flying sand move, he had to draw back his gun in a panic, and was almost staggered by the snow flakes on the ground.

Han Mochu was quick to withdraw his sword, but the princess came suddenly, and he didn't lose his sense of propriety. He retracted the long sword and saluted Gu Jin with a smile: "I have seen Your Highness the Princess."

Gu Jin took a look at Han Mochu, and pulled Gu Xiu straight into the main room.

The main room was still messy and there was nowhere to set foot.

Because it is winter, in addition to the two small square tables for practicing calligraphy, there are two more smoked cages for heating.

Gu Jin came and went more times, and gradually got used to it.After entering the door, he couldn't help but start patting Gu Xiu's body, as if he was patting the residual snow falling on Gu Xiu's body.But Han Mochu could see clearly that Gu Jin clearly slapped Gu Xiu's ass with two powerful slaps: "In the cold winter months, it's fine if you don't just wear fur, if you're outdoors, you should change into padded clothes anyway." It’s still snowing outside, your body is wet, and it’s so cold in this room, what if it’s windy?” Gu Jin exhaled warm air into the palm of his hand, and began to rub Gu Xiu’s ears.

Although Gu Xiu and Gu Jin are siblings, the 13-year-old Gu Xiu has already understood the difference between men and women, his cheeks flushed red after being rubbed for a while, and he didn't dare to resist, so he could only hold his long hair with one hand!Gun, looked away in embarrassment: "Sister, I'm not cold."

Standing aside, Han Mochu held back a smile, thinking: Gu Jin is probably the only one in the world who can instantly turn Gu Xiu, a little wolf cub, into a little sheep.

"Why isn't it cold?" Gu Jin's eyes suddenly turned to Han Mochu who was suppressing a smile: "Master Han, don't think I'm too wordy. My younger brother always saves trouble and refuses to be served by palace servants. Since you are the prince and master, Then taking care of his daily life is also a part of his job, you can't just ignore it except studying and practicing martial arts, right? Just like this room, there are two smoked cages full of beatings, are you planning to freeze my brother to death?"

"It's what the princess said, and I will buy it tomorrow." Han Mochu replied with a smile.

In fact, the temperature in this main room is not cold at all for two big men like Gu Xiu and Han Mochu who are on fire.

Although Gu Xiu is a young man, but because he has practiced martial arts since he was a child and has a strong physique, he hasn't even sneezed since the beginning of winter. It's not like the sixth prince who is the same age as Gu Xiu, who has a fit every day when winter comes. Suffering from the wind and cold, he could only hide indoors all day long.

Probably there is really a kind of cold in this world, and it is your elder sister who thinks you are cold.

Han Mochu's calm attitude made Gu Jin unable to say anything, so he could only find a place in a pile of messy books, and ordered Bai Tan, the close maid, to put down the food brought by Gu Xiu.

"Okay, Elder Sister, I don't want you to be angry, so come over for some snacks." Gu Jin sighed and opened the food box, which contained two bowls of steaming Laba porridge and a plate of imperial concubine cakes with plum blossom patterns.

General Gu Xiu!The gun stood by the wall, sitting opposite Gu Jin, Gu Jin handed one of the bowls of porridge to Gu Xiu, then raised his head and said, "Master Han, please use some too."

"Thank you, Her Royal Highness."

Han Mochu pulled up his robe and sat down, holding a porridge bowl with Gu Xiu, while the little eunuch Baode served a cup of fragrant tea with the princess.

The snowflakes outside the house are still floating, but the room is already sweet and fragrant inside.

Although Gu Xiu is a very bloody young man, he has a surprisingly sweet tooth.But this dessert should not be too sweet or too greasy, the taste is light and the aftertaste is sweet.

This plate of imperial concubine cake made by Gu Jin himself is filled with plum blossoms, it is sweet and slightly bitter, and the taste lingers on the lips and teeth.Not long after, Gu Xiu ate four yuan.

"Your Highness, things can last forever if they are restrained." Han Mochu put down the porridge bowl that had already eaten to the bottom of the bowl, and said warmly to Gu Xiu who was about to pick up the fifth piece of imperial concubine cake.

When Gu Xiu heard this, he took his hand back without hesitation.

This scene obviously aroused strong dissatisfaction from Gu Jin who was admiring the younger brother's eating.His younger brother has always been indifferent to everything, and today it is rare to like something and even be turned off.

Gu Jin, as the first princess of the country, has also been educated since she was a child. It's not that she doesn't understand the simple truth of eating moderately, but her partiality for Gu Xiu is enough to make her put aside all so-called truths. As long as this younger brother likes it, then Then nothing is impossible.

"It's just two pieces of snacks, Master Han is too serious." Gu Jin said and picked up another piece of imperial concubine cake and put it to Gu Xiu's mouth: "Hey, eat it."

"Sister, I want to save it for tomorrow." Gu Xiu raised his hand to separate the snack from his lips.

"Let's go, let's eat tomorrow." Gu Jin sighed and put the dim sum back on the plate, and reached out to pinch his younger brother's cheek: "Look at you, you are so skinny, you can't even pinch the flesh."

"Sister." Gu Xiu hesitated to speak.

"Well, you are not thinner but stronger. You will be taller than the eldest sister in the next year, right?" Gu Jin smiled and rubbed the top of Gu Xiu's hair: "Little thing, what are you doing so fast? I can't make clothes for you in time, either the sleeves are short or the hem is short."

"So, Master Han taught me to eat less." Gu Xiu's words made Gu Jin on the opposite side laugh out loud, and while laughing, he said to Han Mochu who was beside him: "Then I really want to thank Master Han?"

"Back to the princess, I dare not be a minister."

Before Gu Jin left, he asked Han Mochu to add clothes to Gu Xiu, but Han Mochu didn't understand a lot.

Looking at Gu Jin like this, he is probably in the state of an elder sister like a mother.

After Gu Jin left, Gu Xiu heaved a sigh of relief and immediately sat back at the small table where he practiced calligraphy. Han Mochu also pulled out the ruler that was pressed under the pile of books, and tapped lightly on the small table: "Your Highness, take out the unfinished books from yesterday. Bar."

"Ah."

For Gu Xiu, a wolf cub who grew up from a small skinny, he still prefers Han Mochu's unindulgent and uninhibited way.

Before the twelfth lunar month, there was a small disturbance in the palace.

Concubine Li, the birth mother of the sixth prince, took a fancy to a piece of sacrificial satin in the Inner Palace, and wanted to tailor it for the palace banquet. Unexpectedly, the embarrassing Mr. Nanxi in the palace also fell in love with it, and the two of them went to the Inner Palace together. The slaves quarreled.

Concubine Li raised her hand as a concubine and slapped Mr. Nanxi.This slap made Longyan furious.Directly confine Concubine Li in the palace.

Concubine Li Jin was originally the only daughter of the Yan Taoist family in Suzhou. Her ancestors had been in charge of the rich job of Yan Tao since the previous dynasty.Now that it has been passed down for six generations, it can be seen that the family is well-off, almost to the point where the wealth can rival the country.

Although Concubine Li has never favored her exclusively, she has given birth to the sixth prince, Gu You, and she has a real affection as husband and wife with the king.

But that Mr. Nanxi was born as a prostitute.

In 12 years, Yongxi was sent to the palace by Zhao Mingqi, the governor of Yinzhou, and he won the favor of the king overnight, and his favor has never faded since then.

No one can explain why the king favored him.The censor's official submitted a letter to play the table, even if he accepted the advice with death, the king would not be moved.

In private, everyone classified Mr. Nan Xi as a ghost.

Such a person should have nothing to do with Han Mochu.

On that day, a seductive young man dressed as gracefully and luxuriously as a feather duster appeared in front of the gate of Guiyun Palace, startling the little eunuch Baode.

He stood dumbfounded and didn't know how to communicate.

Mr. Nanxi didn't care, and with his exaggerated hair on his chest, he bypassed the little eunuch Baode and walked into the courtyard of Guiyun Palace. Here? I have something to ask for."

Han Mochu was leading Gu Xiu to copy an ancient book with unclear handwriting, copying and reciting at the same time, under the supervision of Han Mochu's mahogany ruler, Gu Xiu's ability to memorize has improved by more than a star and a half compared to before.

Hearing the voices of people in the courtyard, Han Mochu stopped the wolf hair in his hand, taught Gu Xiu again, and said: "Your Highness, I should go out and have a look."

Han Mo got up, went out without putting on his coat, walked to the courtyard and stood in front of Mr. Nan Xi, bowed his head and said to others, "Mr. Nan Xi, I'm teaching, I don't know what you want to do today?"

Han Mochu and Nan Xi, two men with the same stunning looks, finally stood face to face for the first time.

In contrast, Han Mochu's face is like cold jade from a deep mountain, gentle and elegant, completely natural.

Nan Xi is like a finely embroidered bird screen. Although she is beautiful, she is full of craftsmanship.

"I have always heard that Mr. Han is excellent in all six arts. This year's New Year's Eve palace banquet, I want to play a piece of Guangling for His Majesty, but unfortunately the score is incomplete, so I want to ask Mr. Han to restore it for you." Nan Xi raised her charming red phoenix eyes , as if what you want is right.

"Young Master Nanxi has won the award, but I really don't understand the rhythm and the music score, so please ask Master Nanxi to find someone else." Han Mochu refused without hesitation.

"Hehehe, it turns out that the famous Mr. Yi'an has a vain reputation." Nan Xi who was rejected was not angry but smiled, suddenly her eyes froze, and she lowered her voice and whispered in Han Mochu's ear: "This year's palace banquet, let your little one Master, stay away from that noble concubine who has been childless for many years."

"Huh?" Han Mochu frowned in confusion.

Speaking of the concubine He Gui who had been childless for many years, Han Mo had heard about it for the first time. He heard that the woman had five miscarriages in seven years and was unable to have any more children.It was also heard that she once begged the emperor to be Gu Xiu's adoptive mother on the second day after Gu Xiu's meritorious deeds, but was rejected by the emperor.For such a palace woman who is dedicated to seeking a child, Han Mochu couldn't think of what she could do against Gu Xiu.

Nan Xi didn't say a word to explain, she turned around and left Guiyun Palace, leaving behind a fragrant fragrance.

On the second day, the roll of piano score that Mr. Nan Xi said was still in Han Mochu's hands. This time, it was King Gu Hong's imperial order that asked him to restore the piano score.
