The world is heavy and late

Chapter 149 Du Kang
When it was about the same time, the prince and Jing Ning said that they didn't need you to rush, and we didn't want to stay by your side.

Jing Ning had already squinted her eyes and fell asleep in Aunt Qiu's arms.

But the prince was thinking about coming out after a long time, so he ran to play with Xia Qing.

Xia Qing spent the Mid-Autumn Festival with Qiao Huan and Xiang Cang. She thought about it, this year was the second Mid-Autumn Festival without Xu Zhong.

When the three of them had almost drunk, even Qiao Huan's eyes seemed a little dazed, and the prince suddenly ran in.

Seeing the mess in the room, he said to Xia Qing, "Are you drinking?"

Xia Qing looked at Qiao Huan, who was a little unsteady, and said to Xiang Cang, "Help her to the soft bed in the inner room for me."

The more he drank, the more silent he nodded to Cang, bowed to the Crown Prince, and helped him away without saying a word.

And it was probably because Xia Qing and the prince were both there, the somewhat erratic Qiao Huan was very obedient.

Xia Qing watched the person go in and asked the prince, "Why is Your Highness here?"

The prince still stared at the wine in Xia Qing's hand, but he also answered Xia Qing's words: "Ning Ning is called Brother Gu."

Xia Qingxu also had a drink, and she was a little emotional, she said: "So, is Your Highness here to share with the slaves, or to show off?"

The prince moved his eyes away with difficulty, raised his chin and said, "Of course I'm telling you that Gu is very popular with Ningning."

Xia Qing looked at the pink and jade-carved prince who was a little tanned from riding a horse for the past few days, but he became more resolute. He smiled happily and said, "Of course your highness is liked by people. Can your highness bring someone with you when you come out?"

The prince nodded, brought up the topic again, and said, "What kind of wine did you drink? Is it good?"

Xia Qing shook the wine jug in his hand, Xu had seen Xia Qing's drinking capacity last time, this time Xiang Cang brought a lot of wine.

And Xia Qing also likes to drink directly from the pot. She took a sip into her own mouth, took a breath after drinking it and said, "Xinfeng wine, it's not good."

The crown prince didn't believe it at all, and said directly: "I see that the father and Mr. Zhang both like to drink very much, and you like it too. It must be not bad."

Xia Qing motioned for the crown prince to sit down, and she also sat aside, drinking the wine in the flagon by herself, the more she drank, the more lonely her eyes became.

Seeing the prince's eager expression, she snorted and said, "I don't believe that your highness didn't drink it secretly, why did you come to ask the servant?"

The prince said: "Those drinks are a bit spicy, I don't know how Xinfeng drinks them?"

Xia Qing just laughed, she knew that according to the prince's temperament, it's strange that she didn't drink secretly when she grew up, and she didn't pay attention to the prince's implication.

Instead, she picked up the jug and drank with her head up. She drank several sips before saying: "It's also extremely spicy, why should you try it, Your Highness? If the palace people outside smell the wine on you, wouldn't it cause more trouble? "

The prince thought about it for a while and looked away regretfully, but it really couldn't be like this.

He looked at the expression on Xia Qing's face that seemed to be enjoying himself, and complained a little unhappy: "You still have time to drink, but lately Gu is often asked about homework by my father, and I was reprimanded just now."

After speaking, he sighed unhappily.

Xia Qing didn't turn her head to look at the prince at all, but said while drinking slowly, "Your Majesty has time to accompany you, so you can have fun secretly, and your Majesty is still taking His Majesty to ride a horse?"

The prince thought about it for a while, and when he thought of the scene on the racetrack over there, the prince's eyes sparkled, and Xia Qing could see the excitement in the prince's eyes just by looking at it.

She continued to drink at the side, it was already the third pot tonight, and she heard the prince say: "Father looked very majestic when he was at the racecourse, and only Lu Jin can follow behind him, even the martial arts master; And that horse of the emperor is also a divine horse."

The tone was excited and admiring, obviously admiring the emperor, and even said with some expectation: "I don't know when I will be brave and have such a handsome horse."

Xia Qing smiled. Children of this age admire their parents the most, not to mention that the current emperor's riding skills have been on the battlefield, can it be good?

She smiled and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, you still have a few years left, maybe when you grow up, you will still envy yourself now, at most, you will have more people staring at you, and your schoolwork will be more heavy. There will be too many unknown melancholy."

The prince finally recovered from his excitement. He looked at the smile on Xia Qing's face, and finally felt that something was wrong with Xia Qing today, and he looked unhappy.

And she clearly said that wine is not good to drink, why did she drink so much.

The prince was a little puzzled and said: "You are not happy."

Xia Qing looked at the sky outside and the mountains in the distance, as if she wanted to see through the mountains and see the people behind the mountains, she took a sip and said, "It's not that I'm unhappy, but I'm a little worried. "

The prince was even more surprised, and asked directly: "What are you worried about?"

Xia Qing's eyes were a little hot, and he quickly raised his head to drink to cover it up and said, "I'm worried that some people can't find their way home, and I'm worried that some bad people will stop them on the road."

The prince is worthy of being a prince, and directly raised the key point: "Who are you worried about? If you are really worried, you might as well send someone alone to pick him up."

Xia Qing looked at the prince with a serious face, and did something that Xia Qing seldom did after he was seven years old. She touched the prince's cheek and said, "Your Highness just listen to His Majesty. If Your Highness likes to ride horses, why don't you go and ride?" His Majesty said, as long as there is no shortage of people behind him, I think His Majesty will agree."

The prince immediately sat up straight and asked, "Really?"

Xia Qing nodded and said: "Your Highness can ask His Majesty tomorrow morning. I think His Majesty will be preparing to return to the palace in a few days."

The prince couldn't wait, he really wanted to go to the emperor now, so he asked, "Why, can't I just talk about it now?"

Xia Qing smiled and continued to drink, and waited until he swallowed the wine in his mouth before saying: "Because His Highness will definitely be kicked out if he goes now, and His Majesty should be in a good mood tomorrow morning."

The prince didn't understand, but he still dubiously took Xia Qing's instructions back.

When Xia Qing was talking with the prince, Xiang Cang did not come out of the inner room. He was not familiar with His Highness the prince, so he was restrained staying there. Fortunately, Xia Qing and the prince were allowed to talk.

When he came out of the inner room, what he saw was Xia Qing sitting on the railing under the porch with the wine in his hand, staring blankly at the moon in the sky, in a daze.

Xiang Cang paused for a moment and lowered his head, "Auntie, are you worried about Mr. Xu?"

Xia Qing recognized his voice, and did not look back at him, but continued to drink the wine at hand, which was not brought by Xiang Cang.

Because she also prepared wine herself, Du Kang was the only one who could relieve her worries.

She drank a few sips before panting for breath and looking into the distance, muttering as if she couldn't hear something clearly: "The sun is gone, the flowers are full of smoke, and the moon is full of sorrow. Zhao Sechu stopped the phoenix pillar, Shu The qin wants to play mandarin duck strings. This song is intended to be passed on by no one, and I would like to send it to Yanran with the spring breeze, recalling you from a distance across the blue sky."

Xiang Cang lowered his head and said, "Auntie, why worry, Mr. Xu will be able to return safely and triumphantly."

Xia Qing looked at the moon and understood why many poets always felt homesick when they looked at the moon.

She continued to drink, and said to Eunuch Xiang who was behind her: "Go back to Eunuch Xiang, reveal more deeply, and be more careful."

Xiang Cang looked up at the person who was still looking at the sky, then lowered his head silently and said: "The miscellaneous family will leave first, aunt, please take care, drinking will hurt your health."

Xia Qing smiled and said, "Thank you for reminding Eunuch."

She didn't care when Xiang Cang left behind her, and she didn't clean up the mess in the house. She just looked at the moon in the sky and felt the evening wind blowing in waves. It was a bit cold, as if even a trace of warm breath Can't feel it.

She closed her eyes, leaned her chair on the railing post, and touched the purse and the peace inside, which seemed to have become her habitual action.

She let her mind miss Xu Zhong crazily.

At this time, we look at each other and not hear each other, and I am willing to follow the monarch every month.

Xu Zhong was also looking at the moon in the sky with drunk eyes.

He and An Wang joined forces a lot, after all, An Wang still has a deep foundation in Yizhou.

Today's Mid-Autumn Festival, King An also invited Xu Zhong to the banquet.

Unlike the last time, although there was dancing and music this time, there was no obscene atmosphere, because Princess An and King An's children were also there, and of course the beauty pouring wine for Xu Zhong was familiar.

But Xu Zhong didn't care about this, and he wasn't in a very good mood today.

It's just that he has a solemn face all day long, and at this time, others only think it's normal.

When he came back from Prince An's mansion a little drunk, he let all the servants go out.

He sat on a small stone bench in the yard, touched the things in his purse, and stared blankly at the moon in the sky.

It is difficult to write geese on plain paper and silver sign, and the winding wall is full of tears.The bright moon should know my mind, send a letter with the wind, and I will return it first.
