Si Tian Guan Chapter 97

    When Liu Chongming was led into the mansion, he did not go straight to the main hall from the blue stone road in the middle, but passed through the hanging flower gate and led to the flower hall to the west.

    Although since Mu Jingchen left the palace and established the mansion, they have not communicated as closely as they used to, and the number of times they met was limited, but Mu Jingchen was still entertaining him in the flower hall, and there was no alienation in the worst expectation.

    It is almost the same as what Qu Chenzhou expected. Sure enough, things may change, but people will not change that much.

    Qu Chenzhou told him that even in the previous life, although Mu Jingchen was so ignorant of people's temper, in fact, he was always on good terms with the Liu family.

    Even when the Liu family was in disaster, he did not hesitate to anger the emperor and tried his best to save him.

    So, for such a person, it is better to speak frankly than to play around with it.

    Liu Chongming also agrees with this statement.

    During the battle of the three kings, Jingchen never strayed from it, and his disposition of indifference to fame and fortune remained unchanged, but the former Jingchen was not so indifferent.

    He can guess what kind of knot Jingchen must have, and even guess whether this knot is related to the time when he disappeared in the past, from the current signs, I am afraid that the only thing that happened back then was Mu Jing Chen and Jiang Xingzhi knew.

    There is no way to find out.

    The flower hall is very quiet inside and outside, it doesn't seem like someone is coming soon.

    The court does not support idlers, except for King Ning who goes out and gets scolded, pushes as he can, even King Huai and King Qi have their own affairs to be busy, and Mu Jingchen is no exception. Supervise the compilation and revision of national history by the Imperial Academy.

    Liu Chongming was not in a hurry, he took a teacup and walked around the flower hall.

    I haven't been here for a long time, and many places look unfamiliar.

    But why does it seem a little familiar to me? It seems like I've seen it before.

    "Don't remonstrate those who come, you can chase after them." He read it lightly, surprised.

      And Mu Jingchen actually framed it so solemnly and hung it here.

    He sat suspiciously for a while, when he heard footsteps from far and near outside the door, and hurriedly greeted him, and it was indeed Mu Jingchen.

    "Meet Your Highness."

    Mu Jingchen raised his hand to stop him, without letting him bow to the end, he stretched out his hand to invite him into the room together, and sat down first and then.

    “Why is Zhongming free to come to me today?”

    "To disturb Your Highness," Liu Chongming knew that Mu Jingchen didn't like disturbing him, so he asked the servants to wait outside the mansion, and he brought the things in himself.

    "I entered the palace a while ago, and I heard from my sister that Concubine Xian was coughing and panting after winter. Let me ask the following people to pay more attention."

    He put the box beside him on the table beside Mu Jingchen.

    "A doctor came to the shop a few years ago and was good at making Suzi Jiangqi Pills. It just so happened that the South collected the best Baibu and Qianhu and let him make a few bottles. Concubine Ruoxian Niangniang doesn't dislike it, you can try it first, and if it works, then do it.”

    Open the box again.

    "When I came back from the boat last year, I brought back two excellent ginseng plants. I am ashamed that I am not good at pharmacology, so I asked the imperial doctor to see if it could be used."

    Mu Jingchen nodded slightly and watched him put the box back on.

    "The imperial concubine and Chongming have a heart. The concubine is indeed coughing more than in previous years. The imperial doctor still prescribed those prescriptions, saying that she was weak and did not dare to increase the dose."

    Speaking of this, Liu Chongming also hurriedly reminded: "His Royal Highness, the doctors in my shop are all from the countryside, please ask the imperial doctor to see the Suzi Jiangqi Pill beforehand, for fear of hurting the empress Noble body."

    "Re-detailed."

    The gift was sent, and neither of them deliberately sought topics. Liu Chongming only drank tea and did not speak, and Mu Jingchen did not chase away guests.

    He's not a fool either.

    The two concubines in the palace made good friends, and it was not once or twice that Chongming sent things, but they never came to the door in person.

    Not to mention…

    His fingers twitched in his sleeves, as if he was touching the secret letter that came from nowhere last night. Chongming, don't bother about Ren Rui's affairs.

    One is a childhood playmate, and the other is an unknown stranger. He should have no hesitation in favoring the former, but he has a small expectation in his heart. Joy or worry.

    Liu Chongming finished drinking a cup of tea, got up on his own, and went to close the door of the flower hall. Seeing Mu Jingchen sitting still, not even asking questions, he smiled.

    "Your Highness." He didn't go back to his seat, but bowed at the foot of the steps.

    Mu Jingchen looked down at him calmly: "What else is there to do with Chongming?"

    "I'm just asking about one person." Liu Chongming asked knowingly, "Does Your Highness know about Fang Wuyang?"

    "Mother!"

    Before I saw anyone, Baishilei's loud voice came from outside the shadow wall. The people were rushing to serve, they were smashed away by people, and they were about to run to the inner courtyard. The servant grabbed the reminder a few times, turned his head and went straight to the garden.

    "Mother! Look who I brought..."

    Baishilei rushed through the door of the moon cave, and before he could finish shouting, he was scolded at the head: "What are you arguing about! No guests? Can't call anyone?"

    He was scolded for being dumb, and then he saw that besides his mother, Mrs. Liu was also in the pavilion, he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a month, and my aunt is young again. !"

    Mrs. Liu smiled back and forth: "Ying'er, such a good child, you are still not satisfied, look at this little mouth is sweet, like smeared with honey."

    Mrs. Bai was seven months pregnant, and her large clothes could not cover her bulging belly.

    She put one hand on her stomach and spat at Bai Shilei with a smile: "What's wrong, it's frizzy, and there is no steadiness."

    Baishilei stood outside the pavilion with his hands down and muttered unconvincingly: "Always compare me to the second brother..."

    "Don't say Chongming too well, stubborn and disobedient, I want a son as smart as Shi Lei," Mrs. Liu waved to him: "Come here Shi Lei, show aunt a look , have you grown taller again?"

    Baishilei took a few steps forward and looked back, feeling a little embarrassed.

    It was Mrs. Bai who knew her son and listened carefully, and asked him, "Who did you just say?"

    She looked into the distance and saw a man kneeling outside the door of the Moon Cave, with his forehead on the back of his hand, black hair reaching to the ground, tied with a red rope, surprised and happy, "Ah".

    "It's a sinking boat, call him over."

    As soon as she heard these two words, Mrs. Liu's face was covered with frost, and she coldly saw Bai Shilei drag the people out of the pavilion, and drank: "Shi Lei, you bring What is this **** doing here, didn't you see that your mother is still pregnant with a child?"

    Baishilei was trained to the point where he couldn't figure it out, so he explained, "Auntie, this is not someone else, it's brother Xiao Qu in the second brother's room."

    "Someone, drag him out!"

    "Wait," Madam Bai stood up with the help of the maid, and took Madam Liu's hand with a smile: "Why is my sister-in-law so angry, she's just a slave, don't Knowing him in general makes you angry."

    Mrs. Liu was held by her. She was afraid that she would break her and would not be able to get rid of her. better."

    "I am more aggressive in the White House, I can hold everything down, and I am not afraid."

    Mrs. Bai stroked her stomach and smiled: "My sister-in-law didn't hear the rumors in the capital that Chongming hid a peerless beauty, so I borrowed it to take a look and give birth to a pink sculpture. Yuzhuo's beautiful doll, so as not to be ugly like these two bastards."

    Baishilei looked at his mother's wink, and hurriedly pulled up Qu Chenzhou to protect him.

    "Ying'er, did Chongming want you to protect him? This little **** is so fascinated by Chongming that he doesn't even recognize his parents. Listen to what the little **** says, say it, and Chongming won't be laughed at!"

    "Let them make their own decisions about the children's affairs. Look at how many homes there are in this capital, and it's not just about letting people go in one room." Mrs. Bai held her and said, "Chang Ming now. Didn't he already go to Dali Temple to report his work? I heard people say that despite his young age, he has done a good job."

    Mrs. Liu wanted to have a seizure several times, but she was interrupted by Mrs. Bai with a smile. She knew that she couldn't take anyone away today, and the stranger was right in front of her, as if a mouthful of rice was full of food. Sand, just want to vomit.

    She left in a hurry.

    Instructing Bai Shilei to see off, Madam Bai heaved a sigh of relief, pulled Qu Chenzhou over, touched a large area of ​​her face, and said softly, "I've wronged you, Don't be afraid."

    This hand was soft and warm, Qu Chenzhou pursed his lips, reluctant to move, and said softly, "No...it hurts."

    The pavilion was windy all around. Seeing that he was not well-dressed, Mrs. Bai went to the nearby wing and asked someone to bring a medicine box.

    Qu Chenzhou didn't dare to let Madam Bai move more, so he asked for a medicine bottle and painted it in front of the mirror. His cheeks were cool and he hid in time. So red.

    Mrs. Bai beckoned him to come over, she didn't allow him time to kneel beside her lap, so she pulled him and sat beside her.

    "I haven't been here for a while, and I forgot what I told you," Madam Bai said angrily, "We have no slaves in the Bai family, so you don't have to follow this rule."

    She thought about it for a while, and then said, "Come over another day, I told him, let him not be harsh on you."

    "No," Qu Chenzhou hurriedly said: "The prince is very good, and he is not harsh to me."

    "It's good not to be harsh." Mrs. Bai smiled: "I don't want to think about him, you don't know, he has been asking you about your stay here over the New Year, for fear that you will be wronged. already."

    "No...you're all good to me."

    "What a good boy, it's a pity," Mrs. Bai sighed softly, and touched his face with some relief: "No wonder there is so much rumor in Beijing, I just think they make a fuss, no Thinking of such a good appearance, Chongming has done a good thing."

    "Madam is too famous." Qu Chenzhou lowered his head and could see Madam Bai's already bulging belly.

    Although this child is not yet born, he not only recognizes it, but also holds it.

    At that time, the milk doll, who had just passed its first birthday, could not walk, and was carried into the palace to play. At first, he only dared to hide and watch, but Mrs. Bai saw him curious and encouraged him He hugged.

    On that day, the little boy who was standing by the table, for the first time, came to him staggeringly without anyone helping him.

    When the blank in his mind was filled with reality little by little, the man was already kneeling on the ground with a doll as soft as a cloud in his arms.

    Such a small hand was hooked on his neck, the little man cracked a small mouth with only a few teeth and laughed straight, and kissed his face with a milky voice Shout: "Sister."

    Mrs. Bai looked at him, pursed her lips and smiled, and took his hand: "Would you like to touch, it will kick someone."

    As if being burned, Qu Chenzhou pulled back his hand forcefully, looked up at Madam Bai with a surprised expression, and lowered her head sullenly: "Madam, I... my life is not good, it will drag the young master..."

    Mrs. Bai's face was ugly, he didn't dare to look directly, he could only murmur: "I used to be in Qisheng Building... They all said that..."

    A hand was placed on his shoulder with some strength.

    He thought that he said something wrong, made Madam Bai angry, bit his lower lip, and knelt down.

    Mrs. Bai sighed, and before he could react, she supported his head and pressed it gently.

    Qu Chenzhou's cheeks and ears pressed forward at the same time.

    He was so shocked that his whole body was as stiff as a stone, and he didn't dare to move.

    "Just moved, did you feel it?"

    Something did, kicked from the inside to his cheek, soft, soft.

    Inside is the child named Bai Shiqing, who has not yet understood this wonderful world, the soft little body is buried in the ground by the loess.

      I'll take a picture of you, and I'll see it every day, and have such a beautiful child."

    “Stone chime…”

    Qu Chenzhou silently recited the name, covering his eyes with his hands, not wanting Madam Bai to see herself crying in embarrassment again.

    “Stone chime…”

    He repeated the soft words silently.

    "Hello, my name is Qu Chenzhou."

    "Call me brother."
