Li Qinghuan

?Song Lisi entered Liu's mansion and didn't come out until noon. No one knew what he said to Liu Zijian, but a dude like him wouldn't have any serious business in people's eyes, would he?That's good too, Song Li thought so.

Song Li stood at the gate of Liu's house, ignoring the look of the guard at the gate caring for the idiot, stretched his waist in a relaxed way, swaggered on his horse and walked away.

……

Leisure time is always beautiful and short, as the summer heat is just gone and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, all the people in Ji's mansion are also busy.

Ji Qing's birthday is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and after some divination, Ji Qing's crowning ceremony will also be held on August [-]th.It's a good day to spend a full moon.Ji Qing's extremely unreliable master, Yuan Qingyang, returned to Yudu on the [-]th of August, and he didn't seem to take the important matter of his apprentice seriously.

However, Ji Qing didn't worry about this matter. For him, he didn't really care about whether the crown ceremony would be acceptable or whether the birthday banquet would be held. One thing, definitely can't be shown directly from the face.

Furthermore, Yuan Xi has been busy with his affairs for several days, he may not care about these ceremonies, but he cannot turn a blind eye to Yuan Xi's hard work these days.

Yuan Xi had a big opinion on the fact that his father didn't return to Yudu until August [-]th. Yuan Qingyang had just entered the door, and before he had time to rest, Yuan Xi caught him talking about it.

"Father, my senior brother's birthday is tomorrow. Why did you come back today? Why did you go? This is a big deal for my senior brother, your apprentice! Can you pay attention to it?"

Yuan Qingyang ignored Yuan Xi's complaints, tied the horse under an osmanthus tree in front of the door, and even grabbed a few flowers and stuffed them into his mouth.

After listening to his nagging, Yuan Qingyang licked his lips and said, "Is everything arranged?"

Ji Qing cupped his hands: "Master, everything has been arranged."

Yuan Qingyang waved his hand: "There is no need to be too polite. You are such a careful and cautious person, does this kind of thing need my brain?"

Probably for Yuan Xi who was standing outside the door to hear, Yuan Qingyang dragged out the last few words clearly and loudly.

Ji Qing thought it was a bit funny, this father and son didn't look like father and son at all, instead they looked like friends who had known each other for many years, and it was common for them to quarrel with each other, if Yuan Qingyang hadn't been wandering outside all the year round, Ji's house would probably be thrown into a tizzy by the two of them.

He was both amused and a little envious.

Ji Qing poured a cup of hot tea for his master, and said, "It's really not my arrangement, it's Yuan Xi who is in charge of it."

Yuan Xi immediately got excited when he heard it, and shouted from a long distance: "Did you hear that? I'm all in charge!"

Yuan Qingyang put down his teacup, looked out, and loudly said on purpose: "Oh? Really? Don't lie to me, Ji Xiaoqing, don't speak nice words for that little bastard."

Ji Qing nodded: "I'm not lying to your master, it's really Yuan Xi who is doing it."

Yuan Qingyang nodded: "It seems that this little bastard has really improved by staying with you, and he should learn more from you."

Ji Qing couldn't help but Yuan Xi was furious.Aoao screamed and ran away.

Ji Qing knew that Yuan Xi was young and mature, and only in front of Yuan Qingyang would he not hide his childishness.Yuan Qingyang claimed to be a vulgar person who messed around in the rivers and lakes. He didn't notice the young man's dissatisfaction, so he took another sip from his teacup.

Yuan Qingyang drank a good cup of West Lake Dragon Well Tea into plain water. After the two drank the tea, Yuan Qingyang recovered from the exhaustion of running around for days and started talking about business.

Yuan Qingyang: "Is everything done?"

Ji Qing: "It's done. Yuan Xi arranged it, so you can rest assured."

Yuan Qingyang: "Don't worry, why don't you worry? He has grown a lot in the past few years."

Ji Qing smiled and said, "Then you still tease him."

Yuan Qingyang smiled: "They said they were teasing him. Oh, by the way, have you chosen the words?"

Ji Qing: "It's ready, Heming."

Yuan Qingyang: "Heming? It sounds good. Does it have any special meaning?"

Ji Qing: "The sound of cranes is clear and long, I like it very much."

Yuan Qingyang pretended to say: "Although I don't know what you are talking about as a teacher, I think this name suits you very well."

Ji Qing nodded: "That's right."

Yuan Qingyang thought about it, and explained: "I didn't come back so late on purpose as a teacher."

Ji Qing nodded: "I know, Master doesn't need to care too much."

Yuan Qingyang: "I went to Sichuan."

Ji Qing: "I know."

Yuan Qingyang sighed: "There is a great epidemic in Sichuan, and there are many mourners. You can go and see."

"What does it have to do with me? Master just goes to the bank to pick up how much silver you need, and you don't have to tell me where you need it." Ji Qing was a little annoyed, so he got up and prepared to leave, and stopped at the door, turning his back Looking at Yuan Qingyang, "It's getting late, and the master is tired from traveling all the way, let's go to rest earlier, the apprentice is leaving."

Yuan Qingyang: "Ji Xiaoqing, it's all in the past, no matter what, don't make yourself miserable."

"Yeah." Ji Qing turned his back to Yuan Qingyang, his voice was a little cold for no reason, "Tuer resigns."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left the lobby with his hands clasped, as if fleeing out of Yuan Qingyang's sight.

After a long time, a sigh came from the lobby

"The sound of the crane's cry is clear, since it is so far away, if there is no ruthlessness in it, it will be desolate and cold."

……

Song Li has been preparing for more than a month since he decided to follow Ji Qing to the south of the Yangtze River. By the time he realized from his busy schedule, it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, the Moon Sacrifice Ceremony is just around the corner, and the palace is as busy as the Ji Mansion, of course.As a prince, Song Li inevitably had to run around and participate in various ceremonies that seemed strange to him.

Song Li, dressed in fine attire, was so tired that he was dizzy from following the royal nobles, civil and military officials.

He stood in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony together with Empress Dowager He, Emperor Song Duan, King Jing Song Kan, and Empress Zhang. A thousand steps down were mighty people who came to watch the ceremony.

Civil and military officials stood in front of the hall like sculptures.It was obviously a solemn occasion, but Song Li was very tired. Princes like Song Li and Song Kan, who usually had nothing to do and had nothing to do, would feel very bored on such an occasion. Song Li, for example, was already yawning profusely .

Song Li didn't care to watch the mighty crowd below and the so-called bustling scene, and squinted his eyes to look around.Just looking at it like this, he discovered something unusual.

Prince Jing Song Kan, also Song Li's second elder brother, did not feel sleepy. Song Kan raised flowers and played with birds on weekdays, and he didn't look sleepy at all after standing for so long.

Song Li was a little curious, so he quietly approached Song Kan while Li Guan and Song Duan were not paying attention.

"Second brother, are you sleepy? I'm so sleepy."

Song Kan didn't notice Song Li who was approaching quietly. He was taken aback by his bold move, patted his chest, quickly regained his composure, and said in a low voice, "Why are you sleepy? This moon sacrifice ceremony is a civil and military ceremony. Officer, the people of Yudu are watching below, don’t mess around, stand back quickly.”

Song Li touched his chin, and said suspiciously: "Second brother, you are not normal."

Song Kan was stunned: "What's abnormal?"

Song Li smiled slightly, and teased, "You are not a serious person, why are you suddenly serious today?"

Song Kan raised his forehead: "What do you mean I'm not a decent person? I'm already weak, I'm an adult, how could I still mess around with you?"

Song Li suddenly realized: "Oh—Second brother has grown up?"

Song Kan glanced in the direction of the ceremonial officer, making sure he hadn't noticed this, and quickly raised his hand to knock Song Li on the forehead.

"Stand back quickly, don't make trouble."

Song Li raised his hand and touched his forehead, then stood back with pursed lips.When he looked at Song Kan again, he looked weak again, Song Li nodded in satisfaction, this is normal.

Song Li dragged his exhausted body until the evening, stuffed two mooncakes and left the banquet to return to the palace.After a comfortable shower, I lay down on the bed.

Strange to say, he was obviously very tired, but he didn't feel sleepy after lying on the bed.And I always feel that I have forgotten something very important.

After tossing and turning on the bed for a long time, Song Li simply didn't sleep, sat up from the bed as soon as he rolled over, and began to seriously think about what he forgot.

……

The night of the Mid-Autumn Festival was already a bit chilly, and when everything was still, Song Li went into the kitchen of the palace and fiddled for a while, before quietly leaving the door with a food box.

The Ji Mansion was very lively all day long, and at this time, the calmness of the past has been restored from the hustle and bustle.What Ji Mansion held today was not only a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, but also a crowning ceremony for Ji Qing and his birthday banquet.Ji Qing is a businessman, and there are always some favors to deal with.

After the guests dispersed, Ji Qing returned to Zhanlu Garden but didn't go back to the house immediately. He walked to the yard in a daze and sat down by the table. , Ren Qingsi scattered everywhere.

He always felt like he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know who he was waiting for.

In a daze, he vaguely saw a person dressed in black, covered in moonlight, climbed over the wall and entered Zhanlu Garden, and he didn't know what he was carrying in his hand.

"Someone got inside?" Ji Qing murmured.

Someone flipped in!Ji Qing realized this and immediately woke up, lying on the table and half-closed his eyes to observe the visitor secretly.

Song Li was standing by the wall with the food box at a loss. He thought it would be inappropriate to knock on the main door at night, so he quietly turned in by himself.Unexpectedly, it was even more inappropriate to sneak in.He is a majestic prince, if he broke into other people's house in the middle of the night, he would lose face when he was found out, if there were any rumors, the royal family's backbone would probably be poked to pieces.

Song Li began to regret it from the moment he climbed into the courtyard wall. He put down the food box in a hurry and wanted to turn it inside out. After jumping on the top of the wall, he started to struggle again.

"What if I put it there and he doesn't see it?"

"It's so late, he should be asleep, right?"

"What if he doesn't find out in time?"

"Anyway, he's already asleep, so I'd better take the things away and make amends some other day."

Thinking of this, Song Li jumped down the wall again, ready to pick up the food box and slip away.This time it didn't go so smoothly. I didn't find the right place when I stepped down. I stepped on a tree branch next to the wall and fell heavily to the ground with a scream.

Ji Qing watched the whole process with squinted eyes, and it wasn't until Song Li screamed and fell to the ground that he recovered from his drunken stupor.

Ji Qing quickly got up and ran to the wall, pulling up Song Li who was lying sprawled on the ground.

Ji Qing ran in a hurry, and when he got up, he flicked his sleeves and brought the white jade crown on the stone table to the ground and smashed it to pieces.

"My lord?" Ji Qing was surprised and delighted.

"Uh... yes, it's me." Song Li was embarrassed and embarrassed.

Ji Qing pulled Song Li up and helped him to sit down at the table, then returned to the wall and mentioned the culprit who caused Song Li to fall hard.

Song Li saw Ji Qing walking over with a food box.He swept his nose in embarrassment.

"What's wrong?" Ji Qing's voice was very clear, like a bright moon.

"I'll do it." Song Li took the food box in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and opened it slowly.

Inside is a bowl of "noodles" with no color, flavor or taste.

Song Li hurried over from Prince Yu's Mansion with it in his hands, running wildly and climbing the wall, but didn't spill any soup.

Ji Qing raised his eyebrows: "Is this for me?"

Song Li nodded, rather coyly: "Today is your birthday, and you want to eat longevity noodles. You should eat them in the morning, but you should have eaten them in the morning, so I...I cooked them for you in the evening."

Ji Qing: "I didn't eat in the morning, no one cooked it for me."

Song Li looked up at him in surprise.

Without saying a word, Ji Qing picked up the noodle bowl, found chopsticks from the bottom of the box, and ate the bowl of strange longevity noodles with soup one bite at a time.
