King Zhenbei has a favorite

The news of King Zhenbei's return to the city spread, and the whole city was bustling.

Jiuyuan is the first line to fight against the enemy. The war is imminent. People can still have such a mental outlook. It is all because of King Zhenbei. This man is like a needle that can stabilize the sea.

Gu Ting was very impressed.

The snow stopped at dawn, the weather was still very cold, the dripping water turned into ice, but the snow was white and thick, piled up on the eaves and corners, kind of naive and cute, just like the people in Jiuyuan City.

Dong Zhongcheng asked: "The war seems to be going well. It can be stopped many years ago. Will the medicinal materials still be harvested?"

Gu Ting looked at the snow outside the window, but did not regain his senses.

Last night's "Li Renxing" is always in my mind and I can't get rid of it.It was a travel note, with no owner, and its origin was unknown. It had been circulated in various bookstores before it was famous. The river smoke is beautiful and very visual, but what is the use of it, so that all the big shots are robbing it?

Gu Ting flipped through it several times overnight, but couldn't find anything.

There are still no clues. Gu Ting thinks that the difficulty is only temporary, so he decides to hide the book and keep it for later observation...

"Master? Master?"

Gu Ting came back to his senses: "Sorry, what did Brother Dong just say? I didn't hear clearly."

Dong Zhongcheng thought that he didn't sleep well last night and his energy was low, so he smiled and didn't mind, and repeated his words: "The war seems to be going well, it can be stopped many years ago, and the medicinal materials still need to be harvested?"

Gu Ting paused slightly: "Yes. Keep accepting."

In the previous life, the chaos in Jiuyuan was just half a month later, and the situation on the border battlefield was repeated. There was good news and bad news. The first four will all die.

But others don't know.

In fact, he didn't understand the whole story, and he didn't know how to guard against it. All he could do now was to do small things within his power, to gather as much information as possible, and hoped that he could come in time and be able to help.

The days to come are bound to be tough, Huo Yan...

You must hold on.

Gu stopped holding the pot, and refilled tea for himself and Dong Zhongcheng: "Is Miss Liu getting better?"

"Thank you for remembering." Dong Zhongcheng's eyes were full of tenderness when he mentioned his wife, "She was panicked a few days ago. The doctor saw that she has improved a lot in the past two days, but the lost appetite needs to be regained slowly. .”

Gu Ting nodded: "I happen to be free today, I'll make a pot of soup, you can send it to Miss Liu."

Dong Zhongcheng blushed a little with excitement: "Why bother the young master to do it yourself?"

"It doesn't have to be like this," Gu Ting waved his hand, "Meng Zhen also wants to drink, I have too many things in my mind, I'm just cooking soup, just be quiet."

Dong Zhongcheng bowed to the end: "Then I will accept it brazenly, thank you young master."

The work of medicinal food seems simple, but in fact it is not simple. If the ingredients are correct, the order of heating is correct, it seems that the taste will not be wrong, but people are different, and the things made are different, and the effect is also different.Gu Ting is willing to spend such a heart for him, he can't help but be grateful.

……

Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, Huo Yan returned last night, but the momentum was created today, except for the confidant guards, no one knows.When the master of the palace came back, the servants of the whole family were overjoyed, all of them had smiling faces, and even their steps were brisk.

Huo Yan first went to the main room to meet his grandmother Lin.

"Grandmother, grandson is back."

Lin looked at his grandson who was kneeling on the ground with only the back of his head exposed. He wanted to stand up to support him, but he had to restrain himself. His fingertips trembled slightly, which showed how excited he was. With such excitement, he said calmly: "Get up!" .”

Huo Yan stood up.

Mrs. Lin carefully looked at her grandson up and down, and saw that he was not injured anywhere, he was still strong and full of energy, and then he sighed slowly: "When the army is at war, you don't come back home, in case the front line Because of this change, no amount of your sins can be redeemed."

The vanguard Wei Lie jumped out from behind Huo Yan, turned around and knelt down in front of the Lin family: "Don't worry, old ancestor, the prince misses you! I still want the food at home. After fighting for a long time, I don't care about anything." Greedy, I saw the prince gnawing his fingernails during the night watch, and dreamed that he wanted to eat pork knuckles in sauce, stewed delicacies, steamed buns with mutton and green onions, dumplings with leeks and pork...he is almost dying of hunger!"

Huo Yan: ...

Is that my favorite food!

Lin, who had suppressed her smile just now, immediately burst into a smile when she saw him, and pulled him up with her hands: "You monkey, how old are you and still so naughty? Well, well, I'll make it for you, I won't starve you!"

Wei Lie nestled in Lin's arms, winking quietly at Huo Yan.

Huo Yan's expression remained unchanged: "What about the rules?"

"Oh……"

Wei Lie knelt down obediently again, and kowtowed to the Lin family: "Wei Lie, the striker, please greet the princess—"

Lin looked at Wei Lie, then at his grandson, his eyes couldn't stop moistening: "Okay, okay, it's good to be back..."

After the servants served tea and calmed down, Lin wiped the corners of his eyes lightly, and looked at his grandson: "Lie'er has a wild temper. He has been in the mansion since he was a child, and he chased after you every day. It's not like you don't know what to do. You always talk about him? His grandfather and father followed your father to fight against the enemy and died. No one acted like a baby when he was a child. What's wrong with me being more relaxed? You, as an elder brother, don't know how to be more lenient."

Wei Lie was already sitting on the side eating fruit unceremoniously: "That's right! Old ancestor, please quickly train him and tell him that I will stay in the palace for the rest of my life! Fan Dachuan, Xia Sanmu, Weng Min and the others are also thinking of you. No way, this time I specifically told me to kowtow to you a few more times, and then bring some delicious food back, they won’t come back this time, after the battle is over, I’ll come back to spend the New Year with you!”

Lin's eyes were moist again: "Hmph, it's not worrying. They all grew up running in the palace, and they don't stay home when they go out. Are they in good health? Are they injured? It's so cold in winter, Dachuan Still have a shaved head? Is Miki always bullying you? Does Brother Min still read with a book in his hand all the time? You have to tell him that you can’t walk, if you don’t pay attention, you will be knocked down..."

Wei Lie kowtowed to Lin Shi again: "Don't worry, everything is fine, Beidi's soldiers are nothing, they can't even hurt our oily skin, they are all strong!"

Lin's eyes were gentle: "Okay, okay... This way I can rest assured... The family is also fine, and I can still cover my old bones. You are tired outside, don't worry about it, do things well, protect your home and country, The territory of our building cannot be allowed..."

The younger sister Huo Yue and her younger brother Huo Jie were a step behind and also arrived at the hall.

Huo Yue is 11 years old this year. He has not grown up yet. He is a little too thin. His hands and feet are slender. His eyes are very big. He seems to be able to talk and is full of softness. He looks at Huo Yan with admiration, and he salutes decently : "Greetings to my brother."

As if in the blink of an eye, the younger sister has grown up, like a beautiful glass, beautiful and untouchable, Huo Yan hesitated whether to help her, and finally only gave a faint "hmm".

"Here, please greet my brother."

Huo Jie is six years old this year, a little bun who hasn't grown up yet, seeing his elder brother's serious face and not smiling, he was a little scared, so he quietly hid behind his elder sister.

Huo Yan is not satisfied, what does it look like for a boy to be so timid?

"Come here." With a sullen face, he waved to Huo Jie.

Huo Jie was even more frightened, and tears began to accumulate in his big eyes.

Huo Yan: ...

How dare he cry!

Wei Lie jumped over, hugged Huo Jie and threw it into the sky: "Brother Lai Jie, Feifei——Feifei—"

Toss and catch kids.

Huo Yan thought that his younger brother would cry in fright, but he didn't expect Xiao Baozi to be very happy, not afraid of falling down at all, as if such an adventure was so comfortable and comfortable, he yelled out happily.

The sleeves were shaken, Huo Yan lowered his head, and his younger sister Huo Yue looked at him: "My brother is back, my brother is very happy, he has started to learn "The Analects of Confucius", the family's military classics, and I am trying to read it, and follow it every day Martial arts master Zamabu, now I can try to draw a bow of one stone..."

Huo Yan patted his younger sister's head with warm eyes: "You are good, my brother is not angry, I just wanted to get close to my brother."

Get closer, and teach him that the men of the Huo family should not be timid!

"Brother is so nice."

The younger sister hugged Huo Yan's arm, her smile was warm and healing.

……

After lunch, Huo Yan took Wei Lie out. It was inconvenient on the battlefield before, but now that he is back, he has to meet You Dachun anyway.

Not long after he left, Xu Yinglan brought her cousin Xue Qing to the palace, followed by others to lead her to the main hall.

Xu Yinglan was wearing a plain white dress with plain hairpins on her head. She didn't have too many decorations around her body. She probably knew her own advantages and didn't dress up in a complicated and gorgeous way. She was dressed in a simple and elegant way, but she looked fresh and pleasant. It was just... what she wore It's too thin, but her waist looks thinner. I'm afraid only she knows if it's cold or not.

"Greetings to the Crown Princess—"

She took her cousin to prostrate according to the ceremony, and greeted the body of the princess.Xue Qing was impatient and impatient to sit and talk for a long time, because Master Wu was in the palace and greeted Mrs. Lin, he expressed his annoyance and ran to the front yard to find Master Wu.

Xu Yinglan was a little embarrassed: "Brother Qing knows how to practice martial arts, but he doesn't know how to understand the world. The princess laughed at her."

Holding the teacup, Lin's face was steady, with a smile that was not a smile: "In a family like ours, men don't practice martial arts, and they don't show courage. What should they learn? What should we do if we imitate other people's smooth and smooth manners?"

Xu Yinglan blushed slightly, and quickly put down the teacup: "Princess Tai Wang is right, it's because my vision is narrow... It's been snowing for the past two days, how did you sleep well, and how well you went in? It's a cold day, and you should pay attention to everything That's right, I got a good leather a few days ago, thinking of you, I made a pair of knee pads..."

Because of her cousin, she often comes to the palace, and she has a very winking look. She is willing to lie down and talk beautifully. She doesn't feel embarrassed at any time, and can continue chatting in any situation. Slowly, with her around Every occasion, the atmosphere is always lively.

After laying the groundwork for a long time, finally, Xu Yinglan quietly supported her temples, and said reservedly: "I heard that the prince is back, Brother Qing is taken care of by the mansion, I should take him to pay him a visit."

Lin: "That's unfortunate, the prince is out."

Xu Yinglan paused before realizing: "Goed out? Didn't you just come back?"

Lin picked up the tea: "It's business outside, we women and Taoists can't explain it clearly."

The master's family has already served tea, and we can't see each other today, so Xu Yinglan could only stand up with a smile on her face: "Then I'll come back another day to thank you..."

After exchanging some pleasantries, leaving her cousin at the Wu master's place to continue practicing martial arts, Xu Yinglan turned around and left the palace.

As soon as he went out, he met Gu Ting.

She turned her head quickly, and looked at the four gold-plated characters "Zhenbei Wangfu" on the top of her head, and then looked at Gu Ting, who was dressed in ermine, elegant and refined, and the son of the world——

Immediately felt a sense of crisis.

The prince came to the door as soon as he came back. What did he want to do?

She felt that this so-called "sharp favorite" was a bit ignorant and needed to be raised.Otherwise, when people think of today, she didn't dare to speak when they met her, and ran away in despair. People would think she was afraid of him!

"You—yes, it's you, is it Gu Ting?"

Xu Yinglan blocked Gu Ting's way, and sneered: "My lord's favorite?"
