Lu Shiqing has been taking care of his injuries for more than two months and has developed the habit of going to bed early. In fact, it is only now that Yuan Cixian is still enjoying the cool air in the courtyard and eating the cherries that his brother brought back from the Daming Palace.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, cherries are rare fruits. The saints will give fruits to new Jinshi every year to express their emperor's grace. Most literati and poets who can receive cherries from the emperor should happily write a poem, praising the color of the fruit.

The plate of Luoyang cherries in front of Yuan Cixian are the last batch of the current season. Even the royal family can't eat them later. This time, the ministers borrowed the light of the prince of Nanzhao to taste them. Yuan Yu, who is a brother, never forgets his sister when he eats a fruit. He only goes to bathe and drink after bringing them back.

It is approaching midsummer in the end of April, with thick shade and low trees, and the yard is filled with delicate and fragrant rose fragrance. The cherries in front of you are also fat, round and red like pearls and red, which makes people feel very happy when they look at it. The only bad mood is that there are no mosquitoes and flies in this hot flash sky, and they will buzz into Yuan Cixian's ears from time to time.

After staying for a while, she felt unable to sit still. She was about to go back to her room to eat alone when she suddenly heard the servant come to report that the prince was knocking on the door.

She was surprised and forgot that there was a cherry pit stuck between her teeth and did not vomit. She hit her teeth with a "click" and hissed in pain. She rubbed her face and asked, "What did you do?"

The servant didn't know that Xiaoju was alone, and it seemed that he had drunk too much at a palace banquet. He was drunk at the door of Yuan Mansion and could not be sent away. After all, the other party had a noble status and the servants were not easy to move. Because Yuan Yu was bathing in the bedroom, he had to come and ask her for instructions.

Yuan Cixian thought about it, spit out the cherry pits, covered her mouth and went out. When she arrived at the door, she saw that Xiju was no longer making noise, but fell on the stone steps and remained motionless, looking like she was asleep.

She stopped at her feet, glanced at the seemingly empty and deserted, and said in surprise, "Ah" and stopped far away, saying, "What's wrong with Your Highness the Prince?" After that, she turned her head and asked Shi Cui beside her, "Crown Prince, do you have any followers to follow me? Go and take a look."

After Yuan Cixian finished speaking, he stopped taking a step forward until a nearby team of Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the night rushed to him.

Shi Cui explained to her: "My little lady, the maid didn't find the prince's entourage, but she met several street envoys."

She nodded: "Okay." After saying that, she looked at the leader of the Jinwu Guard, "I'm sorry to send a trip to the street. I think the prince of Nanzhao seems to be drunk. I don't know where he will live in Beijing this time. I'll ask you to work hard and send him back."

Seeing this, the leader hurriedly clasped his fists at her: "You are polite, it is the villain's responsibility to do. However, the villain was negligent and asked the drunk prince to mistakenly enter the yard. The county lord would not care about us."

Yuan Cixian waved his hand and showed no obstacles. He hugged his arms from afar and dragged away Xiju who had "slept" away. From beginning to end, he was not close to him. Until he returned to silence, he ordered the servants to close the door and then turn around and walk in.

Shi Cui followed her and asked, "Miss, what is the prince's intention to do this?"

Yuan Cixian sneered: "Of course I came to drag me into the water. Although the saints are not bad at Nanzhao, how could they be unprepared for the prince of the enemy who had just launched troops to invade the Great Zhou three months ago? After the palace banquet, they would definitely send a secret agent to follow him. After Xiju noticed it, he would simply come to me. Once I have some contact with him, even if I ask you to help him, I may be seen by several secret agents hiding around as evidence of my close relationship with him in private."

So she stopped from a distance and called the saint's most trusted personal guard to show her innocence with great fanfare.

After she said that, she smiled gloomyly: "Believe it or not, if I stood next to him just now, he would get up and pull me shamelessly."

Shi Cui nodded in agreement. The prince of Nanzhao has always been arbitrarily and just talked about starting a military army. People usually have to be famous for their troops, but he is the only one who is willing to risk the world's worst. He will fight if he wants to fight, and he doesn't even find an excuse.

Yuan Cixian was upset and covered her sore teeth, and was about to say that she didn't plan to eat the unlucky cherry when she suddenly heard three knocks from behind.

Is it over? She stopped, frowned and walked back, signaling the servant to open the door, and put her sleeves in place to get angry. When the door of the mansion was removed, she saw Lu Shiqing with a gloomy face outside. When she saw her, his eyes were like a broom, sweeping down from her face to her clothes and the belt on her chest.

"Why are you here?" Yuan Cixian was so hot that he looked at him. He looked down at his chest strangely, feeling that it was moderate in size and there was no problem.

Lu Shiqing said nothing, and his eyes moved up again. When he fell to her neck, he looked up at the dark and dirty sides. He seemed to be unreal, so he pulled her wrist and walked into the Yuan Mansion. He went to the bright corridor before letting her go, frowned and looked at her neck carefully.

Yuan Cixian reached out to touch her neck and said suspiciously: "What's on my neck?"

Lu Shiqing pushed her hand away fiercely and signaled her not to block it. After seeing it clearly, her pupils suddenly shrank.

What is there on her neck? There is a suspicious red mark! Red mark!

This scene took Lu Shiqing's life. His forehead was leaping wildly with blue veins, and he said, "What did Xiju do to you?"

Yuan Cixian was almost frightened by him and said in confusion: "I didn't do anything..." After answering, he asked again, "How did you know he's been here? You came to me because of this?"

Because Emperor Huining was in the deep palace, he might not be able to deal with things in time, so he asked the spy who followed Xiju to keep in touch with Lu Shiqing. He just got the news from it. However, when he arrived, the spy had already left, so he didn't have time to meet them and asked about the specific details of Xiju's coming to Yuan Mansion. His mind was like a shadow puppet show in his mind, and he couldn't stop at all.

Yuan Cixian saw that he didn't say anything, but only showed a look of killing. She couldn't help but feel that the place he was staring at was hot and itchy. She reached out and scratched her hand and said in surprise: "Hey, what a big mosquito flies!"

When Lu Shiqing heard this, he stretched his neck and looked at it carefully. He realized that the red mark was not what he imagined. He immediately felt a little embarrassed and withdrew his gaze and said lightly: "Yes, I just want to say this, there is one on the right, but not on the left."

The implication is that he feels uncomfortable and becomes angry.

Yuan Cixian covered her neck and called Shi Cui to bring the ointment, while feeling unreasonable: "Just just to make you feel comfortable, you have to let the mosquito flies bite me?"

Lu Shiqing frowned, turned his hand behind his back, and said in a high posture: "The body, hair and skin are my parents, so I should not bite it at all. How long have you been living outside with Xiaoli before you get into mosquitoes and flies."

She thought to herself that he would just talk. Although she knew that this bag was mostly bitten in the courtyard, she didn't want to explain to such pretenders. She just sniffed, then rushed to Shi Cui, who was sending the ointment, and left him in place.

Lu Shiqing choked in an instant. Seeing that she had decided to get a engagement, her wings became stronger and her vision became higher and higher. She was not afraid that his backer would run away. She had to grit her teeth, pull over and follow her, snatched the small porcelain bottle from Shi Cui's hand, and said, "I'll come, you go down."

This is in Yuan Mansion, so how could Shi Cui listen to his orders? He looked at Yuan Cixian after hearing this.

When Yuan Cixian heard that Lu Shiqing was going to serve her, she calmed down and signaled her to retreat. Then she raised her chin, tilted her head, and stretched her neck to his eyes and said, "Come on."

He frowned and reluctantly opened the hood of the porcelain bottle. He was as meticulous as ever when he was doing his job. He dipped his index finger in a little green ointment, applied it very evenly on her red marks, and lowered his head and blew it.

Yuan Cixian blew him and retracted her neck. She felt a little unstable due to the numbness. She cleared her throat and handed him a Jinpa to him to wipe his hands, then said, "Okay, you can go back."

Lu Shiqing suddenly felt that the wound on his chest that had finally healed seemed to be painful again, and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't you give me an explanation for what happened to me?" Does she want to anger him to death?

Seeing that Lu Shiqing was finally willing to give up, he asked straightforwardly. Yuan Cixian turned her head and smiled secretly, decided not to make things difficult for him anymore, and turned back and answered seriously: "What's the matter? He fell in front of my door, can I still go up and help him? The saint's spy is nearby, so I'm not stupid, okay?"

Lu Shiqing knew that she was not stupid, but she could not stop her terrible imagination and rushed from afar. One was to prevent her from falling into a trick of being tricked by Xiaoju, and the other was to ask for peace of mind.

He heard this and said "Oh", as if she had said something, he believed whatever she said, and stopped asking, "Then I'm leaving, you go and rest."

Yuan Cixian was soft-hearted now and grabbed his sleeve and said, "Wait, the saint gave him some cherries, you can eat them."

Lu Shiqing didn't feel heavy about his appetite, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Why don't you eat it yourself?"

"Don't mention it, the cherry pit hurts my toothache."

After saying that, she pulled him to get the cherries. Unexpectedly, just as she stepped into the open-air courtyard, a dark shadow flashed, and then a "bang" sounded like a pot and pan that had been turned over. A plate of cherries rolled onto the ground on the long table. The next moment, the culprit Xiao Hei Youyou came out from under the table, lying on the ground with his feet, huddled his head and crawled in front of the two of them, as if he was pleading guilty.

Lu Shiqing stopped in a panic and hid behind Yuan Cixian. This open-air courtyard was where he sat when Xu Shan came to the banquet. Fortunately, Jiang Birou, who was weak at that time, was still in the mansion, so Yuan Yu did not allow Xiao Hei to run around. If it were the current situation, with the dog's keen sense of smell, he would have been seen through 10,000 times by Yuan Cixian.

Yuan Cixian didn't know that his heart was bent, and he felt his heart was bleeding because of pain. He pointed at the little black man and said, "You, now, immediately, disappear in front of me."

Xiao Hei let out a "scream" and ran away.

Seeing her heartbroken look, Lu Shiqing twitched: "Anyway, it's not you who eat it, just think it's me. The fruits in Luoyang Cherry Grotto are exactly the same as those of the Imperial Gift. Next year, I'll ask someone to pick some."

Yuan Cixian said "um" dejectedly, and glanced at him but saw a cherry surviving on the plate. His eyes lit up immediately and he brought it over and said, "There is another one, you might as well eat it here."

Lu Shiqing choked. Actually, he didn't really want to eat that, but seeing that Yuan Cixian was willing to give him what he cherished, he was naturally moved and took it and stuffed it into his mouth. Just as he bit the flesh, he saw her looking at him so earnestly, and suddenly felt itchy in his heart, and suddenly he lowered his head and pecked her lips.

The kiss came unexpectedly. Yuan Cixian felt the sweet juice overflowing on her lips, as if she was about to flow down her chin in a mess. She subconsciously wanted to call him to stop, but unexpectedly she fell into his trap. As soon as the teeth opened, a piece of flesh was sent to her mouth.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Shiqing let go of her lips and sucked the juice that fell on her chin. Seeing that she was stunned, she explained calmly: "Don't you think the nuclear is hurting your teeth?"

Only then did Yuan Cixian realize that the flesh contained in her mouth had already had its core.

However, this method of feeding the pit is too unclean!

He can't treat her like this just because she has no cleanliness!

She was despised, but she was embarrassed to spit it out in front of him. She was disappointed and chewed the flesh with her teeth. After chewing, her face suddenly changed and she said in surprise: "Wait, where is the cherry pit?"

She didn't see Lu Shiqing vomiting.

Lu Shiqing's face also changed drastically, and he suddenly reached out and pressed his throat.

He... He swallowed it with excitement...

When Yuan Cixian heard that the cherry pit was poisonous, she immediately urged him to vomit. Seeing that he couldn't vomit, she even called Yuan Yu who had finished bathing and beat him hard on his back.

Lu Shiqing was tortured by the brother and sister and lost half of his life. He thought it was not that the cherry pit was poisonous, but that the Yuan family was poisonous. Finally, he read the ancient books and ran to save the scene. He said that the cherry pit was poisonous inside, and as long as it was not bitten, it would not hurt his life.

Only then did Yuan Cixian let Lu Shiqing leave suspiciously, and told him to ask him for any discomfort and to ask for a doctor in time.

Lu Shiqing guessed that he might not touch cherries again in his life.

*

Fortunately, as I said, Lu Shiqing was not seriously injured. The next afternoon, he dragged his body, which was sore and painful by Yuan Yu, to the Daming Palace for the Martial Arts Meeting.

When the Prince of Nanzhao was sent to Chang'an, it was naturally not enough to entertain him in a palace banquet. Emperor Huining ordered people to build a ring in the palace from the rain pavilion, saying that he would like to stay in detail and take a look at the palace corners of the Zhou Palace. To put it bluntly, it is actually to show the force of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Yuan Cixian guessed that the old emperor had a grudge last night, so he invited her and her brother to attend as clans and watched together. In fact, he probably wanted to see if Xiju and her Yuan family could create "sparks".

When Lu Shiqing arrived, Yuan Cixian was already joking with his brother in Ziyu Pavilion. When he saw him coming, he squeezed his eyes at him and sent Qiubo over.

Because Shao and the princess were right beside him, he felt that she was deliberately flirting with him, but she didn't dissatisfaction with her. She bent her mouth at her before sitting down in her seat, and then nodded to the court officials around her and signaled to greet him.

When Emperor Huining entered the table, the corner match began.

This Ziyu Pavilion is a good place to enjoy the cool summer. The palace ladder tried to draw the water from the mountain springs, allowing it to flow down from the eaves of the pavilion, and lay four water curtains on all sides. The waves hang like waterfalls, sitting in it, it is as cool and comfortable as in autumn.

In such a large pavilion, the saint ranks first, beside him is Empress Liang of the Dynasty, and is second only to him. Behind are several royal children including Zheng Zhuo, Shaohe, and clan relatives such as the Yuan family. Lu Shiqing and several other court officials are at the outermost periphery.

Two shirtless men came to the ring, and when the person in charge called the order, they fought together and fought fiercely. When one fell to the other, Emperor Huining shouted ok, and applause suddenly thundered from all sides.

After a few times, Yuan Cixian felt that she was like a fool, but seeing that everyone was like this, even Lu Shiqing smiled and remained silent, so she had to hold back and continue to clap her hands.

After a few rounds, Emperor Huining finally stopped and turned to ask Xiju what he thought.

Xiju naturally brought out a few beautiful Chinese words he had learned last night. When asked whether he would send a friend to try it out, he refused: "I am here this time, not to compete with Your Majesty. Although the fight is fun, it is inevitable that he will hurt the harmony. It is still impossible to do so. However, the grand event is rare, and I will not defeat Your Majesty and you all. It is better to change to a gentle game."

Emperor Huining raised his eyebrows with interest and signaled him to speak.

"I heard that there was a game called catapult in the Great Zhou court, which was to shoot birds with gold marbles and slingshots as utensils. I had an idea - ask Your Majesty to send someone to pick up the birds, and hang a book and silk around the neck of each bird. Some of the book and silk paintings were marked, and some were vacant. Then, I and all the people present who were interested in shooting were shot with slingshots to compare who got the most books and silk paintings with marks."

He said this and smiled with a slight playful smile: "The one who wins the final victory can ask His Majesty for a prize."
