Ghost King's Peerless Poison Concubine

Chapter 327 Extra Story: Wax
A Yuan stretched out his index finger and carefully poked his little brother's face lightly, then raised his face and asked Baili Yunjiu, "Daddy, what's your brother's name?"

Baili Yunjiu smiled gently: "Yunwu."

A Yuan and the little bird continued to stare at the cloud duck, the two little guys blinked and blinked, thinking the same thing in their hearts: my brother is so ugly.

The former Mu Nuo loved spring and the season when everything came back to life, just like him in the past, no matter how badly he was injured, he only had one breath, and when he opened his eyes again, he would be that fearless Mu Nuo again.

But, I don't know when, he no longer likes spring, but likes the bleak winter that is full of whiteness, just like his heart, which has always been cold and can no longer be warmed up.

All these years, the only time he felt warm was when he went to Liucheng to see the eagle in the early winter of that year.

During those three days, he felt that he had turned back to the Mu Nuo he used to be, with far more joy and unruliness than sorrow and distress.

But he knows that he and all of them will never go back to the past.

Mu Nuo walked slowly on the palace wall, followed by only one personal eunuch behind him, letting the cold winter wind blow the big cloak on his body and let the biting cold wind cut his face.

The night was very dark, and suddenly, a small but eye-catching firework exploded in the dark sky.

Mu Nuo stopped, looked towards the direction where the fireworks exploded just now, and said lightly, "Xiao Maozi, what solar terms are you doing today?"

"Back to the king, today is the Laba Festival." The little Maozi who followed Mu Nuo naturally knew that it was Mu Nuo who asked the question when he saw the fireworks, so he said, "In recent years, rich families in the imperial capital Xing will show this to Xiaowa during the Laba Festival."

"Today... is it the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month?" Another firework exploded in the pitch-black sky, Mu Nuo looked a little absent-minded, and murmured to himself.

That child named A Yuan, how old should he be... have... how old is he now?

Xiao Maozi didn't know if Mu Nuo was asking him what he said, but there was no reason why a servant should not answer what the master said, so he replied: "Go back to the king, today is indeed the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Really?" A Yuan seemed to be asking back, but also seemed to be asking himself, on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, A Yuan...should be ten years old today...?
Well, it has been six years since he saw the eagle last time.

"Xiao Maozi, how many years have I been king?" Mu Nuo put his hands on the cold wall and asked again.

When only Xiao Maozi was in front of him, Mu Nuo liked to call himself "I" instead of "Zhen" when speaking, which made Xiao Maozi panic to death at first, but gradually he got used to it.

But what Mu Nuo said this time made Xiao Maozi stunned. This topic is forbidden to speak in the palace, but...

Ever since Mu Nuo entered the palace, Xiao Maozi had been serving him all the time, so he could more or less understand Mu Nuo's temper, so he dared to answer: "It's been almost 11 years since I returned to the king."

"It's been 11 years..." Mu Nuo took a step forward slowly, his low voice was scattered by the cold wind, "Then, how do you think Ze Country has become in the past 11 years?"

"My lord, forgive me for not daring to comment on the affairs of the court!" As soon as Mu Nuo's voice fell, Xiao Maozi hurriedly said.

"What are you afraid of? There is no one else here, and no one will criticize you. If you tell you, just say what you want." Mu Nuo frowned slightly, his voice was a little cold, Xiao Maozi bit his lip and still didn't dare to answer, after a while Before Xiao Maozi opened his mouth to answer, Mu Nuo laughed at himself, "Come on, let me ask you what you are doing. How can he know what's going on outside when he stays in the palace all day long?"

"No, my lord! This servant knows!" Hearing Mu Nuo's self-deprecating voice, Xiao Maozi became a little anxious, and was about to speak in a hurry, but forgot the etiquette for a while, "Although this servant only stays in the palace all day long, my lord Every six months, I let the servant go out of the palace to visit the old mother and younger siblings. Although I don’t have much time to go out of the palace, but these years, the servant can see that Zeguo has become much better than before! Every time the servant returns home, The mother and the slave talked about how generous the current emperor is to the people! The servant also told the mother that the current emperor is really friendly, and sometimes the mother insisted that the slave bring some pagoda flower cakes from his hometown to the king!"

Xiao Maozi hurriedly finished such a long list only to realize that Mu Nuo had stopped and turned to look at him at some point, and then realized that he had forgotten etiquette in a hurry, and quickly buried his head and said, "Please forgive me, my lord." Sin, the slave couldn't control himself for a while and said what he shouldn't say, but everything the slave said was true. Although the slave didn't go to many places, he could clearly see the changes in his hometown and the city over the years. It is clear, if the king wants to blame, the servant will accept the punishment!"

For a long while, Mu Nuo didn't speak, just when Xiao Maozi felt that he was going to be punished this time, Mu Nuo smiled softly and said: "Then what about the pagoda tree cake that your mother asked you to bring me? Won't you bring it to me?"

Xiao Maozi was taken aback, raised his head and stared wide-eyed at Mu Nu, and said in disbelief, "How dare a slave take those things in the market and dirty the eyes of the king, let alone let the king eat them?" ..."

He wouldn't dare to give him ten courage!

"If that's the case, why did your mother ask you to bring it back to the palace?" Mu Nuo seemed to be holding on to this question.

"My mother said that maybe the king is used to delicacies from mountains and seas, and maybe he will like these folk things! So..." At the end, Xiao Maozi hesitated to speak.

"Next time you go home, remember to bring it for me to taste." Mu Nuo turned around again and continued walking.

Xiao Maozi froze in place, and when he came back to his senses and followed Mu Nuo's footsteps, Mu Nuo threw a jade tablet at him and said to him, "Go to the restaurant outside the palace and help me buy a bowl of it." Laba porridge is back, I want to try it."

Holding the jade tablet in his palm, Xiao Maozi asked inexplicably: "The king wants to eat Laba porridge, but I just let the imperial dining room make it. Why..."

Mu Nuo raised his hand to interrupt Xiao Maozi, "Go as you please."

"Yes." Xiao Maozi took the order, looked at the night, and said worriedly, "But the servant left the king here by himself..."

"If someone really wants to come and take my life, with one more you, what do you think you can do?" Without waiting for Xiao Maozi to finish speaking, Mu Nuo smiled slightly, waved his hands and continued, "Go, Come back quickly, I'm hungry."

"Yes! The servant is going now!" Xiao Maozi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and after taking another look at Mu Nuo's back, he ran away.

"Remember to put more peanuts." He remembered that there was a person who liked to put a few peanuts in the bowl when eating porridge.

"Yes!" Xiao Maozi nodded vigorously and replied loudly.

In fact, Xiao Maozi also wants to say that the king is the best and best person among the princes and nobles that Xiao Maozi has ever seen and heard.The king himself didn't hear how the people praised him, but he had served the king for ten years, and he had only seen the king leave the palace twice, only twice, as if the king didn't want to go outside the palace. .
