The general and his spoiled wife

In the same night, before the palace gates closed, Nanny Jiu took the pastry freshly baked by the empress and walked out. As soon as she left Mingxuan Palace, she ran into the Twelve Princes who came with a gentle smile.

The immature young man had clean eyebrows and eyes, and smiled harmlessly: "What are you doing, Madam Jiu?"

After seeing the ceremony, Nanny Jiu said the excuses she had prepared long ago: "Your Majesty has recently learned how to make cakes in the back kitchen, and she has made a lot of cakes. I am going to take these cakes to feed the cats."

"Hey cat?"

Twelve was not in the mood. He hated those furry animals the most, especially cats. He waved his hand: "Nurse Jiu, let's go."

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Mingxuan Palace, the young man smiled innocently, and when he saw the woman sitting in the main seat drinking tea, he said kindly: "My son and mother concubine, please be safe, and wish mother concubine a long and happy life."

Xuan Ling put away the cat-faced wooden plaque in his palm, and said calmly, "Get up."

"Yes, concubine mother."

Twelve happily sat on her right hand: "Why did Concubine Mu become obsessed with making pastries?"

"I want to try it out when I have nothing to do."

Xuan Ling was too lazy to deal with him, glanced at him slightly, and said: "Youth, don't indulge in lust."

"Mother concubine knows?" Twelve didn't feel ashamed, but was extremely happy to get her attention.

He raised his eyebrows and said softly: "My son is the heir of the emperor, and it is their blessing to favor those singers. Besides, my son is a man, how can a man not love beauty? But what the concubine mother is worried about is that he will take care of his body .”

The words were not speculative, and Xuanling felt disgusted in his heart, and said tiredly: "After drinking this cup of tea, go back to Guanghong Palace. I am tired, so I won't keep you anymore."

"Mother Concubine..." The Twelfth Prince whispered, "Is Mother Concubine angry?"

"Then why don't you guess what I'm mad at you for?"

Twelve frowned in thought, and said uncertainly: "I don't know where the disgust in the eyes of the mother and concubine comes from. If you say that those singers come from lowly backgrounds, why would the mother and concubine get angry? Isn't it the right way for the prince of the heavenly family to extend his heirs? If you say The concubine mother is angry that I don't care about my health, my son is in good health and he is already taking good care of him, so I will never let the concubine mother worry about it."

"Do you really understand?" Xuan Ling looked straight at him: "Twelve, you are very smart, why do you insist on fighting with me on this matter? Don't you know?"

These words were already rare for her, and while Twelve was excited, she also felt disappointed: "Mother Concubine, I really don't understand, those singers are eager to climb up on my son's couch, why did the consensual matter come to Mu Concubine's place, Is it my fault? Isn't it..."

He lowered his head, pondered and said, "Is it wrong for the mother and concubine to do something?"

"presumptuous."

"My son is rude, I implore mother and concubine to calm down!"

Xuan Ling didn't want to look at him: "Go back, think carefully about what I said just now, and come back when you understand."

Twelve looks aggrieved: "Let's not talk about that, I heard that the mother and concubine made cakes, can I have a taste?"

Maybe it's because he looks so pitiful, after all, he is the son he has raised for more than ten years, Xuan Ling nodded, and ordered the maid to get some snacks for him.

Seeing the exquisite and small snacks, Twelve finally smiled: "I am very happy to be able to taste mother's concubine's handicrafts in my lifetime, thank you mother concubine."

After the people left, Mingxuan Palace regained its tranquility.

In the quiet night of the deep palace, Xuan Ling took a step and stood under the old tree looking up at the moon.She didn't understand, she couldn't figure out why Twelve, who was raised under her knees, didn't learn her half-hearted devotion, but Axiu was infatuated without regret.

Is this the difference between men and women?

In this world, a man can have countless women in his life, and he can have countless sexual pleasures.But women, who live in a secluded world, are restrained by secular ethics and cannot fly high.

Xuan Ling lowered her brows and eyes in disgust, she hated men who are promiscuous, what's more, to be precise, what she hated was not promiscuous, but what she hated was that man.

It's a pity that Twelve still can't learn to clean up her body, she let out a long sigh, feeling uneasy.

In Guanghong Palace, the twelve princes entered the inner hall with dim sums in their hands.

Xiao Zhuang would hold him in his arms, and said with a smile, "Your Highness doesn't allow the servants to follow, are you going to Mingxuan Palace?"

Twelve smiled and opened the food box: "Yes, my concubine cares about me tonight."

"Then congratulations to Your Highness!" Xiao Zhuangzi said sincerely: "Your Majesty is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, this dessert looks exquisite, did your Majesty specially make it for His Highness?"

Twelve's smile froze slightly, he tasted the snack carefully, and his eyebrows and eyes widened again: "It's almost the same."

Even if he begged for it, but after all it came from the hands of his mother and concubine, he is a close relative of flesh and blood, no matter how cold the concubine's mother is, it is good for him.Huan Huanxi ate most of the dim sum, and he ordered: "Please put it away, I will continue to use it tomorrow."

"Yes. Does Your Highness need someone to serve you tonight?"

The eyes of the twelve princes moved slightly: "Tonight...forget it."

Xiao Zhuangzi was surprised in his heart.

"Indulging in lust hurts the body. The mother and concubine don't like that this palace has lost her body early, and there will be no one to serve her in this half month."

Twelve said indifferently: "How is the general recently?"

"The general accepted the invitation to go to the academy to be Mr. Wu."

"This Jiang Huai..."

"What are your orders, Your Highness?"

The Twelfth Prince pressed his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Let's not move for the time being, I want to see what is good about him, and it is worthy of my concubine's attention to him."

"I am the mother and concubine's bloodline, he? Oh, why did all the benefits in the world be given to him? God is really unfair. Women and power, I am the son of a dragon, shouldn't I enjoy the best?"

Xiao Zhuang lowered his head and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Forget it!" Twelve sneered and said, "We might as well join in the fun when the time comes. Sister Huang opened the academy with great fanfare. Have you prepared the congratulatory gifts?"

"Ready."

The young man suppressed his sneer, thinking of the appearance and demeanor of the Chess Master of the Four Seas, his jealousy towards Jiang Huai reached its peak, and angrily scolded: "It's boring, how can this teach people how to play?!"

Usually, when His Highness called it boring, he would have to find a woman to accompany him, but tonight he offered not to be served by others, Xiao Zhuangzi was so worried that he had no idea, so he just became more and more low-key, holding his hands along.

The evening wind blows, the palace city is deep, and a carriage turns out of the palace gate stealthily.

Nanny Jiu carefully carried the exquisite food box, feeling warm in her heart.Now that the empress has finally changed her mind, it is the best happy event for mother and daughter to meet each other.

In the General's Mansion, Yun Ci went to the study to paint after taking a bath.

Jiang Huai stayed by her side, peeling longan and feeding it to her lips from time to time.Hey, hey, Yun Ci couldn't help but put down her pen and laughed: "Brother, I can't concentrate when you're like this."

Jiang Huai blinked innocently: "Do you want to draw together?"

She glanced casually: "Are you drawing cats?"

Yun Ci nodded, with a gentle breath all over her body: "Brother, do you want to paint too?"

"Let's draw together." Jiang Huai hugged her from behind, held his wife's hand, dipped his brush in ink, and she smiled: "Shall I draw with you?"

"Should it be like before?"

"Well, the way to draw is hard to achieve. Tonight, I will lead you to take the last step."

Yun Ci's eyes brightened slightly, and she couldn't help but let her body soften and leaned against her arms: "Okay, brother teach me."

The study room is quiet, Jiang Huai's eyes are focused, the ink color is blurred, the pen tip outlines, Yun Ci is quickly brought into another realm by her in a trance.

The minds of the two slowly merged together, those perceptions were magnified, and she could clearly feel brother's understanding and attainment of the way of painting.

No matter the brushwork or state of mind, the shock brought by every glimpse is indescribable.

Once upon a time, Jiang Huai led her into the gate of painting in this way. Before that, she didn't understand why her elder brother was good at everything, and there were people who took up eighth of the elegance in the world.

Now being forcibly led by her to climb to the peak of the Dao of Painting, she finally understands what a Taoist is.

In order to keep up with her pace, Yun Ci didn't dare to waver in the slightest.

Jiang Huai took only two quarters of an hour to pick up the pen, and when she finished writing, the little girl in her arms was already sweating from her forehead.

"do you understand?"

Yun Ci closed her eyes and opened them again, a trace of struggle flashed in her eyes: "The Taoism is profound, and I vaguely understand it, but I don't fully understand it."

"You don't need to understand everything." Jiang Huai said: "You have your own understanding. The way of painting is difficult to achieve. What is difficult is never the brushwork, but the state of mind. The brush can contain everything, and everything can be alive. Some people draw shapes, and some people draw souls. What does Ci want to paint?"

"I..." Yun Ci said softly, "What I draw is always my own heart."

Jiang Huai hugged her waist tightly with a smile: "This is very good."

Yunci recalled the subtle experience just now: "Take me to write another stroke."

"What is Ah Ci doing? Peeping into the heart?"

Peeping into the way is like peeping into the heart, Yunci's face flushed slightly, and she said softly: "Then do you want to~"

Jiang Huai had no choice but to hold her hand, and said in a gentle voice, "Then you have to watch carefully."

A stroke of Huai stretched out, and Yunci felt more deeply this time. Brother's heart is really lonely, and the heights are extremely cold.

Just as she was about to speak, she heard the butler whisper outside the door: "General, madam, someone is coming from the palace."

"Don't think about it." Jiang Huai coaxed the little girl: "I have you, everything is fine."

She took Yun Ci's hand: "Let's go, let's go and see, what's the matter with the people in the palace at this time."

Seeing her happy smile, Yun Ci really stopped thinking about it.

Nanny Jiu was guarding the main hall, and she presented the food box respectfully, seeing Jiang Huai accepting it, she left in a hurry.

The food box was opened, and each piece of exquisite dim sum was printed with a cat's face pattern, Yunci's red lips slightly lifted: "Try it?"

Jiang Huai looked reluctant, glanced lazily, and stepped into the inner room with the little girl with the food box.

Yun Ci was pleased by her reluctance, and hugged her arm coquettishly: "Don't be like this, anyway, it's her painstaking effort, try it? Try it bro~"

She picked up a piece of cat's face snack and fed it, Jiang Huai couldn't save her face, so he reluctantly took a small bite.

"Is it tasty?"

Jiang Huai nodded: "It's my favorite snack, and it's also my favorite cat face."

She was full of tenderness, and finally understood what Ah Ci had done behind her back, so it was not easy to expose, so she sat awkwardly at the table, stunned for a while, and then continued to eat.

Yun Ci stared at her tenderly for a while, thinking of her brother's awkward temper, she consciously looked out the window.

Unable to feel A Ci's gaze, Jiang Huai's eyes were full of smiles, smiling, the corners of his eyes slightly moist.This is her favorite pastry, the pastry she wanted to eat but had no chance to eat when she was three years old.

She didn't finish eating all the time, and then so many things happened. She took a deep breath, lowered her head and bit the cat's head willfully, as if she was venting her anger at someone.

The suffocation was too strong, and I didn't notice that I was full after eating.

Jiang Huai often acted like a child when dealing with Xuanling, and when it was time for bedtime, Yun Ci saw that she was still pacing in front of the window, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Are you still asleep, brother?"

Jiang Huai blushed slightly: "I'm not sleepy." She didn't forget to yawn as she spoke, seeing Yun Ci running over and hugging her tightly from behind: "Brother, why are you so cute?"

"..." This time, the tips of Jiang Huai's ears turned red.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"No."

"Still stubborn?"

Jiang Huai said aggrievedly: "It's too late, Ah Ci rubs it for me."

Yun Ci gently rubbed her stomach for her: "Brother is too soft-hearted, resentment is one thing, and you have been attached to this mother-daughter relationship in your heart, right? Otherwise, you will rush into the sea of ​​fire to rescue people even if you don't die. I feel sorry for brother, and I don't want to see brother continue to suffer from this torture, since you can't let go, why don't you enjoy this belated love first?"

Jiang Huai said nothing, turned around and hugged her at last, and said in a muffled voice: "Forgive her at this time, it's too early, I'm not happy."

"I also think it's too early." Yun Ci gently untied her waist belt: "It's late at night, how about going to bed?"

When the depression dissipated, Jiang Huai smiled purely and innocently: "Okay, listen to Ah Ci."

The three-day registration for the Red Makeup Academy ended, and nearly ten thousand students participated in the entrance examination.

In the early morning, a little girl in a Confucian robe stands still in the white jade archway of "Diligence in Learning and Practice", carrying a small bookcase, looking at the future classmates who are coming one after another, showing a bright smile.

At the same time, the third lady of the Lian family and the concubine daughter of the Zhao family also stepped out of the door, and Zhao Qiurong smiled gently and elegantly at the third lady who was walking towards him: "Are you going to be Mr. Wu of the Academy too? Besides you, who else?" ?”
