Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 383 The bird in the cage

Cheng'er and Tao'er ran to Banyue Mountain early to wait, and when they saw Dayu coming back with a radiant face, they hugged melon seeds and peanuts together with Xing'er, and waited for him to tell the story of their engagement.

As a result, Dayu was shy, hesitated a few words, and hid under the excuse of being drunk. Fortunately, there were servant girls who followed him. I have seen my mother use that watch, and I have been envious for a long time, and I am planning to act like a baby and beg my mother to play together for a few days.Unexpectedly, their mother looked out of the window in a daze, wondering where her mind was wandering?
Cheng'er wanted to talk, but was stopped by Tao'er, who made a quiet gesture, and took the two little ones out to play in the back mountain...

After the betrothal gift was delivered, the in-laws of the Sun family and the Muxian Mansion were firmly established, and the rumors in the city were all unfounded. People's new topic was the only betrothal gift received by the Sun family from Baihua. Everyone said that Miss Sun's family was very lucky, and sighed that their daughter was not up to date. It would be great if they could also find such a good son-in-law.

In the palace, Simba heard that his eldest brother was engaged, and was eager to go out to visit the house. Unfortunately, the empress dowager was afraid that he would not want to come back like last time. No matter how coquettish Simba begged, he would not let him go.

Simba had no choice but to listen to the lectures all morning in the study room, and it was his turn to ride and shoot in the afternoon. Xiao An couldn't see him being so frustrated, so he smiled, "Your Highness, Madam sent a big basket in the morning. Fresh peaches, there are a few new things to eat, or the servants will squeeze some peach juice and keep it cold, you are tired from riding a horse, and you can have some snacks with the Fourth Highness and the others."

Simba felt a little better when he heard that he had his favorite peach. He also heard that it was sent by his mother. Knowing that his mother hadn't forgotten him, he was a little happier, so he nodded, "Okay, don't forget to bring some candies. The fourth brother likes to eat fried chestnuts, and the second brother also likes to eat crispy chestnuts."

"Okay, okay, I remember it all. Last night, I just made a horse riding suit according to the drawing drawn by my wife. Your Highness will wear it this afternoon." After finishing speaking, Xiao An went to the closet to hold the big red dress. The horse riding suit inlaid with golden brocade teeth, narrow sleeves and narrow legs, tied with a gold belt of the same color, and then put on very well-starched black cloth boots, is really energetic and handsome.

Simba happily turned around twice, and when he went to pay his respects to the queen mother, the queen mother pulled him to look at him for a long time, and finally rewarded Xiao An with a silver hairpin.

The cavalry and archery masters arranged for a few princes as usual, first they shot a hundred arrows, and then it was time to fight immediately. This so-called battle was to fight with each other on horseback with iron spears that were nearly ten feet long. The teacher is in a group, the second prince is in a group with the third prince, and the fourth prince who is about the same age is in a group with Simba.

The fourth prince likes to eat, and he often goes to Simba's side hall on weekdays, the two of them play together, share the food brought from outside the palace, and get along very close.The two laughed and fought on the horse for a quarter of an hour, feeling a little powerless, Simba turned his head to see that the second prince and the third prince were also sweating, and said with a smile, "Second brother, third brother, Xiaoan made ice peaches. Jue'er, let's quench our thirst, have a snack, and continue practicing."

The second prince nodded and said with a smile, "One day the second elder brother will find some good things for you, and he eats his snacks every day. Being an elder brother is really shameless."

Simba took out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat, "Mom already gave away a lot, and I just prepared a few for my brothers. If you don't eat, I can't finish it."

The fourth prince agreed, "That's right, I have to help Fifth Brother finish the snacks every night, otherwise it will be broken the next day, wouldn't it be a pity."

Both the second prince and the third prince laughed. It is rare that the fourth brother can be raised in this palace with such a pure and kind personality, and the fifth brother is also generous and cheerful. With them around, this day is also much more interesting.

The four brothers greeted the instructors, talked and laughed and walked to the resting place under the shade of the tree next to them. As soon as they entered the arbor, they saw Xiao An squatting down to pick up the dishes on the ground. finger marks.

Immediately, Simba's eyes widened, and he stepped forward and pulled up Xiao An with reddish eyes, and asked, "Miss Xiao An, who hit you?"

Xiao An looked at the other princes, and forced a smile, "Don't worry, Fifth Highness, the servant girl said something wrong just now, which angered His Highness, so I got a slap in the face."

Before Simba could speak, the fourth prince pointed at the food all over the floor and shouted, "Ah, my sugar-fried chestnuts, big brother hates them the most. He always steals other people's things and spoils the delicious food. I'm going to tell my father about it." Emperor."

The third prince hurriedly grabbed his younger brother, the second prince licked his dry lips, turned around and told the little eunuch who was with him, "Go and get some herbal tea."

The little eunuch turned around and ran away quickly. The second prince looked at the furious Simba and said, "Brother has a bad temper. I must have accidentally provoked him just now. Last time a follower was beaten half to death by him. Today he only waved the eunuch." A slap in the face is already for your face, so don't pursue the fifth brother, after all, he is my brother, and he is the elder brother."

Simba ignored this, and pulled Xiao An to insist on asking, "Miss Xiao An, why did he beat you? You said, Simba avenged you. My mother at home didn't even bother to beat you. Why should he?"

When Xiaoan heard this, thinking of his wife and sisters at home, tears almost fell down again, and quickly lowered his head to cover it, "The servant brought ice peach juice just now, and the highness drank three bowls in one go, the servant is afraid His Highness couldn't drink when he came back, so he persuaded him, but His Highness became angry and overturned the table, it's because the slaves are too stingy, just do more next time."

The fourth prince pouted and said angrily, "Brother has been like this since he was a child. No matter what he does, he always only cares about himself. If he doesn't like it, he will beat or scold him. How can we brothers in his heart?"

The second prince glared at him, "Okay, the son doesn't say anything about the father's faults, and as younger brothers, we naturally can't say that the elder brother is wrong. The fourth son should say a few words less."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Simba again, "Fifth brother, let Xiao An go back and apply ice to his face, otherwise the emperor's grandmother will definitely ask when she sees it at night, her old man's cough just got better recently, so don't make her angry gone."

Simba nodded helplessly, pulled Xiao An's arm and sent him out of the awning, the front toe of his black cloth boots rubbed the green grass beside the shed, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Xiao An, is it almost three months?"

Xiao An squatted down and straightened his clothes for him, feeling distressed. The naughty young master at home, but he has become so mature and forbearing in just one month, but he smiled and said, "Well, there are still two months to go." I'm going back soon, young master has to hold on, my wife sent someone to deliver four-inch long prawns this morning, and my servant will make fried double sections for you to eat at night, the young master is full and gaining weight, the lady will only be happy when she sees it .”

"Well, Miss An, Simba knows, you can go back and apply ice and medicine. Just let Xiao Quanzi come and serve you."

Xiao An complied, took a few steps back and turned back to Shou'an Hall.

Several princes ordered their accompanying eunuchs to clean up the shed and sit down to drink a cup of herbal tea, because Simba and the fourth prince, who were lively and active on weekdays, were silent, so they were much more depressed.

The second prince was thinking of a topic to tease the two younger brothers, but there was a sound of footsteps outside the shed, and a little eunuch shouted, "His Majesty is here!"

Several people immediately got up and went to the door, welcomed the father to come in, Shangguan Yufeng took the main seat, then asked the sons one by one about their homework, finally pulled the younger son and smiled, "Why does Hong'er look a little strange today?" Happy, do you think the homework is too heavy?"

Simba shook his head, he was used to being coquettish with his mother since he was a child, and he was very experienced in getting along with his elders, so he was not as cautious as his elder brothers, instead he hugged his father's arm and didn't answer, just pouted.

Since Shangguan Yufeng ascended the throne as the emperor, he devoted himself to the court, and he had no time to care about the relationship between men and women. Later, the situation in the court improved, and he married the gentle and charming Concubine Wan who was like a flower of interpretation. After having a young son, he naturally loves her more than other children. In addition, Concubine Wan died tragically and the whereabouts of the child was unknown. The anxiety was unbearable. Now that the child is back, not only is he not unfamiliar, but he is so close, let him be a The father's love became stronger and stronger.

So he stretched out his hand to wrap the little boy in his arms, and said with a smile, "What's wrong with Hong'er, tell Father."

The third prince and the fourth prince glanced at Simba enviously, wanting to approach Simba, but they still didn't have the guts.

The second prince lowered his eyebrows, looking respectful and polite, but he didn't know what was going on in his heart.

Simba said in a low voice, "Father, let the child go out of the palace to visit his mother, okay? The child heard that the elder brother is engaged, but the grandma won't let the child go?"

Shangguan Yufeng frowned slightly, and patted his youngest son on the shoulder, "Hong'er, your homework is so heavy now, I think your grandma is also worried that you will delay your schoolwork, otherwise, Mr. Bao is not going to take the Fu test in the future, if If you can get his praise, the emperor will allow you to leave the palace for a day."

"Really?" Simba's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shangguan Yufeng with joy.

Shangguan Yufeng nodded, "Father is a golden man, how could he go back on his word?"

Simba was immediately overjoyed, hugged Shangguan Yufeng's arm and shook it, Shangguan Yufeng also had a rare smile on his face, and asked his younger son about his studies, and heard him complain that his marksmanship was not as good as that of the fourth prince, so he stretched out his hand to pick it off. The iron spear on the shelf next to it said with a smile, "Father here has a set of marksmanship, which was learned when Father was your age. It happens that there is nothing important today, so I will teach Honger a few tricks."

Simba was overjoyed, and pulled several elder brothers together, and followed Shangguan Yufeng to the school grounds. The second prince stood aside and watched his father teach his younger brother, the complexion in his eyes deepened.

Less than half an hour later, a young eunuch came to report that the prime minister had something to ask, Shangguan Yufeng hid the look of boredom on his face, and was escorted out of the school grounds by several princes, and asked about Eunuch Duan beside him on the way, "Can I ask why the Fifth Prince got angry just now?"

Eunuch Duan stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Return to Your Majesty, the little eunuch on duty said that His Highness beat the maid named Xiao An next to His Highness Fifth, and overturned the snacks and food, which made the Highnesses unhappy."

Shangguan Yufeng snorted coldly, "Xiong'er is really getting more and more unruly, and his temper is nothing more than that, but he doesn't even know Brother Youai."

Director Duan lowered his head and dared not answer, Shangguan Yufeng flicked his sleeves, "Let's go, let's go to the Qianyuan Hall first." The eunuchs and maids followed immediately, and when they arrived at the Qianyuan Hall, the eldest prince hugged a maid in his arms. He was tumbling with joy, so angry that Shangguan Yufeng punished him to kneel for three hours, and then rushed back to the Hall of Peace...
