General, cut off your sleeves!

Chapter 79: Heavy Snow

The end of the new year is approaching, and the first heavy snow falls in Beijing this year. The timing is just right, which indicates that there will be a bumper harvest in the coming year.Because of the heavy snowfall, Cai Zhu took a few little girls to play in the yard after finishing his work, making the whole yard come alive.

Mo Wanqing's shoulder injury has healed, and he can move even with small movements. He has never seen such a heavy snow and he is happy to see Lie Xin, so he started playing with a few attendants.Picking pearls is the best at playing, she will suddenly go around behind the person, and pour a large handful of snow dumplings into the collar of the person. Of course, Mo Wanqing will inevitably be murdered.

This made Huansha, who was watching from the side, anxious, "Stop picking pearls! Watch the young master's body carefully."

Only then did Caizhu retract her claws, but she didn't think that Mo Wanqing was not a sympathetic person, and when she didn't pay attention, he stuffed a handful of snow into her neck, making her shiver.Stamping his feet angrily, "My lord!"

"Haha, it's just for fun, don't worry about it too much."

Caizhu realized that the young master was telling them to let go of their hands and play, so he quickly jumped up to go to the snow.Huansha was quite helpless when she saw it. She forgot that the master was only 14 after the new year. Although it should be 15 according to the age, but at the age of 15, he is still a half-grown boy, and it is normal to love to play.

Forget it, these days he is aggrieved enough, let him play to his heart's content.

Suddenly, the smell of ambergris came from behind her, she turned around and was about to salute when someone stopped her.

Gu Xuanye approached and came under the eaves, looking at Mo Wanqing who was making a mess with a group of attendants not far away, he was fascinated for a moment.

His face was already pale, and he was suppressed these days and couldn't go out. Standing in the snow now, he looked like a snowman. His eyes were dark and his lips were blood-colored. He looked very pleasing.Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the smile on his lips, a simple and pure smile, a dazzling smile, how long has he not seen it?It seems that he has never smiled since he came to the palace...

"He's here, isn't he happy?"

There was no reply for a long time, he turned his head and looked at this subordinate who he relied heavily on, "But it's okay, I just... want to know more about him."

The emperor's tenderness can always move many people, not to mention that he is his own master.Huansha suddenly knelt down on the ground, and a flower bloomed on the ground in her blue clothes.

"This subordinate dares to ask the emperor to let the young master out of the palace."

Gu Xuanye sighed, he closed his eyes and said, "Even you think that I trapped him?"

"No, this subordinate thinks that letting go is for a firmer grip. I heard that those who train falcons will not shut them up completely, otherwise the falcons are so violent that the loss will outweigh the gains. Only when the falcons are completely tamed can they run no matter how much they run. will return to the master's side."

Gu Xuanye's eyes suddenly darkened, "It makes sense, but what about the training method? He is no ordinary eagle."

Huansha lowered her head even lower, and she knew that she would be extremely careful in what she said next, otherwise she might offend this moody king.

"The subordinates think that the emperor has good ways to control people, but it is because of the depth of love that he has not thought of those methods for the time being."

"Haha, what a word of deep love. You go down and ask someone to prepare. Today I will hold a banquet in Chonghua Palace. Of course, only me and him will be invited to the banquet."

"Yes" Huansha took the order to leave, and looked at Mo Wanqing worriedly before leaving.She has said everything she can say, and whether she can go out or not is beyond her control.

Her words really touched the emperor a lot. He used to think that the other party was a different existence, and he was unwilling to treat him in the same way as a subordinate, but he forgot that people are the same. He wanted to hold Mo Wanqing firmly in the palm of his hand. Use the same strategy.Indeed, what's the use of trapping people here, visits like today have to avoid him...

How to make a big cake for others, how to win people's hearts, he has to think carefully.He can let Mo Wanqing go, but the premise is that the other party will come back to him again.

Mo Wanqing found out later that the emperor had arrived, and stood under the eaves watching them for a while, feeling that the good mood of the afternoon was gone.What's more, I heard that he will stay for dinner at night, so do you still need to eat that meal?A big Buddha is stuck there, how can you swallow it?

However, no matter how much he complained, the emperor still drove him to take a bath, saying that he was afraid of getting a cold.

After Mo Wanqing rolled his eyes and went to take a bath, Gu Xuanye had time to take a good look at this place. The Chonghua Palace is still extremely luxurious, but it seems that Mo Wanqing seldom left traces of his life here.Except for the big bed and the table, the rest of the place has not been moved, and even the books on the bookshelf have never been read.

The books on the bookshelf were arranged by him according to Mo Wanqing's preference, but it turned out that the few books scattered on the table were all borrowed from the study.Suddenly, the scrap of paper halfway under the book caught his attention, and when he opened it, he suddenly felt bad.

It was a small portrait, the drawing was very sloppy, and it could be seen that the other party was drawn with a crappy hand. Although the abstraction was strong, Gu Xuanye still captured a few features from it, and deduced the identity of this person. It's Zou Jinchu!

No wonder you insist on going to the General's Mansion, I don't think it's because of nostalgia, but because of him!

There was anger, and he began to look around as far as he could see, wanting to see how many pictures of Zou Jinchu he had drawn.After seeing this, his anger dissipated quite a bit, because he found that there are many young people painting, even washing yarn and picking pearls. It seems that they are just practicing painting...

But the rest of the portraits were violently crumpled up and left aside, only this one of Zou Jinchu was pressed under the book, whether it was intentional or unintentional?

In the end, that portrait entered Gu Xuanye's arms and kept it, it might be useful in the future.

Mo Wanqing, who hastily took a bath over there, came back with steam in his body. Although this palace was terribly disgusted by him, it had a hot spring pool. Soaking in hot springs in winter was the most comfortable.So this is barely an advantage of this ruined palace.

Shaking his half-dried hair, he noticed a rather strange thing. The emperor was standing in front of his desk... in a daze?

"Why are you standing there?" He didn't have any secrets, even if someone looked through his things, he wouldn't be afraid, and the emperor was so cold, it was impossible for him to do things like look through other people's things.

Of course, it was impossible for Gu Xuanye to tell the truth, and it seemed that he didn't intend to delve into it, so he just asked casually and changed the topic.

"Today's first snowfall, sitting around the stove should be all right in the world."

"Then I want to eat beef hot pot." Because of taking medicine, he has been eating light dishes for a long time, and he finally had a chance, so he naturally asked unceremoniously.

"No, your injury is not healed yet."

"Who said my injury is not healed, isn't it good?" He said and swung his right arm, although not as flexible as the left one, but it was really good.

"I've been dull for a long time, eating hot pot once is not a big deal."

Gu Xuanye waved at him, asking him to get closer to him.Mo Wanqing stepped forward and sensibly held out her big arm for the other party to check.

"It's really much better. You recovered very quickly. It's barely accurate, but you are wanted to touch beef. Let's eat some vegetarian hot pot."

It's really... Controlling the sky and the earth, really lenient.

But it's better to have a meal than nothing, and you can also have a bar by the way.

In the evening, an attendant packed up and invited them to the dining hall. Sure enough, there was a small pot boiling, with fresh vegetables of the moment on the side.

Mo Wanqing was very satisfied, at least he didn't flout the emperor's face in an open manner, and he picked up the vegetables and put them in the pot regardless of the steps of his tasting.

Gu Xuanye was not as turbulent as he was, he declined the waiter's service, and ate slowly with the food in front of him.His main purpose is not to eat vegetables, but to watch Mo Wanqing.

The beauty is indeed a beauty, but she is a down-to-earth beauty.

Anyway, Mo Wanqing has nothing to do with elegance. He acts rashly. He likes to drink heavily, eat large pieces of meat, and eat a lot of vegetables even if he doesn't have meat.As expected of a cook in the palace, the bottom of this hot pot is cooked just right, it's not too spicy to eat, and it still smells delicious on the lips and teeth.

"Looking at these few days, I have really wronged you."

"You know it yourself. I've said eight hundred times that I don't want to stay here, but you just don't want to. What can I do?"

Gu Xuanye's eyes suddenly deepened, he slowly turned the ring on his middle finger, and calmly reminded: "General Zou came a few days ago, and the content of the begging is the same as yours."

Mo Wanqing frowned, he didn't really want Zou Jinchu to be involved, he was not sure about the emperor, who knew when he would go crazy.

Seeing that he only gave a soft "hmm" and there was no more to say, Gu Xuanye began to say with a little sentimentality: "After the year when your reward comes down, let's go."

Mo Wanqing suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at him, he didn't care about the rewards, what shocked him was that Gu Xuanye actually agreed to let him go out!

"Can I not have that kind of reward?" With a little hope, he still wanted to fight for more free time for himself, but he didn't want Gu Xuanye to look even more sad when he said this.

"Wanqing, you are the only one who is willing to treat me as an ordinary friend, I... want to keep you for a while longer."

He even gave up the title "Zhen". After all, the status of the emperor can be used to intimidate people, but it is not convenient to play the emotional card.

Mo Wanqing really hesitated, he didn't understand how the so-called emperor was raised, but seeing how he was always alone, he knew that he must be extremely lonely.Especially when he said that he was the only one who would be friends with him, he had to admit that he was torn...

"Every New Year's Eve is the same banquet. Except for New Year's Eve, there are still endless memorials. In fact, there is not much difference between New Year's and New Year's Eve."

Casually throwing out another more poignant remark, in fact, since he was a child, he has been used to dealing with endless memorials and disputes every day.If the age is not good, he will be really difficult to be the emperor.

"Okay, okay, I'll stay at the New Year's head office."

Hehe, a guy who eats soft but not hard.But does that also mean that he still has some weight in his heart?

This question can be left to be explored later, presumably he will not need to be sneaky when he comes to see the boy after today.Years later, it seems to be very early, but it is actually a very wide time range, and the specific date is not yet determined by him.How to get along with the boy during the period, let him fly out and remember to come back is the goal of his future efforts.
