88 Chapter 88 Peach Forest
Gu Huaiqing is mysterious and mysterious in Beijing. According to Hao Dadao, he has been leaving early and coming back late these days, and he doesn't know where he has gone. Jing Shao urged him to leave quickly, but he kept pushing him away day after day.
"Are you sure that person is King Huainan?" The fourth prince asked with a frown as he heard the person's words.
"It's absolutely true," the speaker, still wearing court uniform, was standing in the corridor of the palace and whispered to the fourth prince, "Yesterday he came to the door in person, and after so many years of contact, I can be sure that he is Gu Huaiqing."
The fourth prince rolled his eyes: "Where does he live now?"
"I don't know about this Wei Chen." The man was a little embarrassed. Gu Huaiqing was always cautious. Even his close subordinates might not know where he was. "However, he told Wei Chen that he would be in the capital these days. If anything happens, he would come to him. Just go to Zuixian Tower in the city and leave a note.”
When the fourth prince heard this, he immediately took his plan to heart. King Huainan came to the capital without being summoned. Catching him would be a great achievement. Although it was not a serious crime, my father was worried that he could not find a reason to use him. Now that he bribed officials in the capital and went to the capital secretly to plot evil, there was irrefutable evidence, so it was a good opportunity. So, he turned around and walked towards the imperial study room.
"What are you going to do in Beijing?" Jing Shao looked at Gu Huaiqing opposite, who was leisurely tasting wine, and felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
Gu Huaiqing glanced at Jing Shao's fist that was about to be punched, and said slowly, "To relieve the pain of lovesickness."
"Stop talking nonsense," Jing Shao's eyes widened, "Quickly tell me, what are you going to do?"
"I am your eldest brother after all, why can't you respect me?" Gu Huaiqing knocked the wine glass on the table and said angrily.
"You also know that you are my eldest brother, but you still always have Jun Qing's ideas!" Jing Shao also knocked his wine glass on the table and said even more angrily.
Mu Hanzhang took a few packets of braised meat and walked through the peach forest. He saw the two people in the pavilion staring at each other again, and they were about to fight: "I left for a while, why did they start arguing again?"
When the two saw him, they put on smiling faces at the same time and said in unison: "We were just joking!" and then glared at each other.
Mu Hanzhang looked at the two of them, couldn't help but pursed his lips and chuckled, and opened the oil paper bag in his hand. Because of Gu Huaiqing's special status, it was not easy for others to know, so Lian Yunsong was left outside the garden. Mu Hanzhang had to go out to pick up the things he bought.
"This is Chengnan's braised food. Jing Shao likes it very much. He always said that if he comes, he must ask him to try it." Mu Hanzhang said, putting the things in the oil paper on the plate and placing them neatly one by one.
"Hanzhang is still so good at talking." Gu Huaiqing picked up a chicken wing with a smile.
"Brother, enough is enough!" Jing Shao squeezed the chicken wings in his hand and made a loud banging sound.
"Wow!" A ball of black and yellow hair suddenly jumped out of the forest, grabbed Jing Shao's knees and moved towards the braised chicken wings in his hand.
"Hey, you brought it here?" Gu Huaiqing looked at the little tiger who was getting stronger and stronger, and teased it with the chicken wings in his hand.
"I'm bored at home because I'm afraid of raising a cat. Let's take it out for a walk." Mu Hanzhang reached out and rubbed the furry head. Xiao Huang rubbed the palm of his hand, then turned back and bared his teeth at Gu Huaiqing.
"This garden is quite nice, but it's a pity that the peaches are not ripe yet." Gu Huaiqing put the chicken wing to the tiger's mouth, but his hand was almost bitten.
Xiao Huang seemed to be very hostile to Gu Huaiqing, and would stretch out his claws to scratch before biting him. Mu Hanzhang rubbed the back of its neck and felt more at ease. However, a low growl was still coming from his throat, as if he was about to pounce at any moment.
"This garden belongs to my brother. We can eat peaches in half a month." Jing Shao looked at a peach branch extending into the pavilion. There were several fluffy peaches on it, but they were still small and green in appearance. astringent.
"This is Jingchen's garden!" Gu Huaiqing was stunned when he heard this, and looked around. The peach grove was lush and green, and the neat green grass on the ground was like a brocade of blue waves. You can imagine what a grand scene it would be like when the peach blossoms were in bloom. "Is he coming today? ?”
"I guess we'll be there soon." Jing Shao picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of green plum wine for his princess.
The difference between Mu Hanzhang's cup and the two of them is that it is not a small bamboo cup made by Miss Qingmei, but an exquisite small wine cup made of mutton-fat jade.
"Second brother, although your wife is delicate, the difference between you is too obvious, isn't it?" Gu Huaiqing looked at the bamboo cup with rough edges in his hand, and then at the almost transparent mutton-fat jade, and suddenly felt that what this elder brother had done It's desolate.
Jing Shao ignored him. Jun Qing was used to rubbing things in his hands when he was thinking about something. Ever since his hand was pricked by this bamboo stick last year, he had been carrying a small mutton-fat jade cup with him. Whenever there was no suitable cup, He took it out for his own princess to use. From then on, the small cup and the small box of balm became something that Jing Shao must carry with him.
Mu Hanzhang took the small white jade cup and felt a warmth spreading from his fingertips to his heart.
"Wow!" Xiao Huang suddenly shouted, left the pavilion and ran a few steps, lowered his body and hid in the grass, stuck out his butt and stepped on it with his back paws, as if he was about to pounce out at any time.
"Is someone here?" Jing Shao glanced at Xiao Huang and stood up.
After hearing this, Gu Huaiqing also stood up and soon heard two voices coming from the forest.
"Second Emperor Brother is very elegant. The peach blossoms are all gone and the peaches are not yet ripe. Are you still interested in tasting wine here?" The young voice sounded arrogant, and it was none other than the Fourth Prince Jing Yu!
"Just come and take a look." The calm and pleasant voice was that of King Rui Jingchen, but his voice was slightly higher than usual, obviously to remind the people in the forest.
Oops! Mu Hanzhang looked around. This garden could stop others, but it couldn't stop the shameless Fourth Prince who followed Jingchen in. Although Jingyu didn't know Gu Huaiqing, he would be suspicious if he suddenly saw a stranger in the private garden of King Rui. In the past, the Fourth Prince would hold on to the smallest mistakes, let alone a stranger who came from an unknown place.
Seeing that he had already seen the hem of the dark yellow prince's uniform, Jing Shao suddenly had an idea and whistled at Xiao Huang, holding the chicken wings in his hand and throwing them at Jingyu.
"Wow!" The little tiger always liked this game. When he saw Jing Shao throwing the delicious food out, he immediately jumped three feet high and rushed out like a black and yellow arrow.
"Ah!" The fourth prince was so frightened when he saw the tiger suddenly jump out of the forest that he screamed out loud. Suddenly, he was hit in the face by a slippery object. He stumbled and tripped over a protruding peach tree root. At the same time, the ferocious tiger pounced on him.
The fourth prince fell to the ground. The already heavy tiger pounced on him, held his shoulders, opened its bloody mouth, and its fangs were already fully grown, each one extremely sharp.
"Help!" The fourth prince's face turned pale with fear. He saw the tiger open its mouth and bite his neck, struggling to attack.
"Don't move!" Jing Chen, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up and stopped the fourth prince from pulling out his sword. The tiger found a chicken wing in his neck, held it in its mouth, and turned and ran away.
Jing Yu climbed up and saw clearly that it was a half-grown tiger about two feet long, running into the pavilion in the middle of the forest with its butt sticking out. In the pavilion stood Cheng Wang and his wife.
