"Princess." Wu's mother held a plate and bowed slightly to Jiang Li and nodded.

Jiang Li waved her to get up, and Mama Wu went to the table to serve the food.Exquisite and novel pastries and porridge are placed on the mahogany table, and the pink and white small plates are specially decorated with flower petals. There are willow and pine branches on the table, which is a piece of greenery.

Jiang Li took a bite of the pastry, nodded and said, "Mother Wu, did you make this? It's delicious."

Mother Wu put away the plate and stood a few feet away from the table, and said with a smile, "How can I have such a good craftsmanship, this is a master specially invited by the prince from the palace."

"Shen Yu?" Jiang Li held the snack in one hand, with crumbs on the corner of his mouth, looking back at Mama Wu.The two black swallowtails on the left landed on the petals in the saucer, as if they were collecting powder for real flowers.

Mother Wu put the plate behind her back, squeezed her hands behind her back, and said, "My lord said you like to eat these sweets...Princess, what are those two butterflies? They have been around since the day you got married." You flew."

The two black swallowtails also seemed to understand the words, and immediately flapped their wings to Jiang Li's left hand.Jiang Li looked down, feeling a little embarrassed, his neck gradually turned red, he hesitated a few words but couldn't make it clear, so he just shut up.

"The concubine uses a special fragrance." Shen Yu walked in from the door at this time, and spoke coldly, with a bit of harshness and blame in her words. Mother Wu looked up at Shen Yu, and immediately lowered her head, her back was also at an angle. bend.

Shen Yu sat on the seat without saying a word, just buried his head in eating, and he didn't even touch the porridge with a little bit of meat.The atmosphere was a bit dignified, so Jiang Li smiled and explained to Mama Wu with a gloomy meaning: "I put a special incense on my hands to attract butterflies."

Mother Wu held her breath and scolded herself in her heart for talking too much, but she was relieved when she heard Jiang Li's gentle tone and no intention of blame, she put away the plate and left the dining room.

Shen Yu scooped up a bowl of porridge for Jiang Li with a spoon, handed it to Jiang Li, and then bowed his head to eat.

"You don't know why, do you?" Jiang Li asked without raising his head while picking up a spoon to cool the porridge.

"I know it's because of the Qizhimei on the back of your hand." Shen Yu couldn't drink porridge, so he took a sip of hot water and continued, "I checked many, many ancient books, and finally I found out that it was a ecstasy." His throat moved up and down Suddenly, the eyelashes flicker and cast a shadow under the eyelids.

After dinner, Shen Yu stood up and took Jiang Li's hand and walked to the bedroom. Jiang Li looked down at his hurried steps.Erli's prophecy was a pain that Shen Yu couldn't feel in his heart. The shackles that had been shackled around Jiang Li's neck had been untied after he understood his fate, but they were still shackled to Shen Yu's neck intact.

Jiang Li didn't know how to explain to him, how to say to him: Don't worry, I won't die.How to make it clear to him, from the little white rabbit 20 years ago, to this moment 20 years later, you are holding my hand.

Shen Yu pulled Jiang Li to sit in front of the dressing table, picked up the rouge box and eyebrow pencil, and drew on the back of Jiang Li's hand according to the Qizhimei on the back of his hand.It was only after careful drawing that the tree trunk of Qizhimei overlapped with Jiang Li's blood vessels. Shen Yu wanted to copy them exactly, but finally drew Qizhimei's branches along the shape of his own blood vessels.

The two black swallowtails flew around the back of Shen Yu's hand a few times, seeming to be attracted and confused by the superb painting skills, but after careful identification, the two black swallowtails returned to Jiang Li's hand.

Shen Yu drew a lifelike black swallowtail butterfly at the knuckle of the little finger, and another one at the knuckle of the opposite thumb.Carmine was stained on the back of Shen Yu's fair hand, and a flower of blood bloomed towards the index finger, heralding the end of a year's life.

Jiang Li smiled and said, "No wonder that old man Zhishi always praises you, the painting looks so real." Jiang Li took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe off the painting on the back of Shen Yu's hand, and said, "Wipe it off, it's unlucky. "

Shen Yu painted very hard, and Jiang Li rubbed it a few times without fading, feeling a little anxious.At this time, Shen Yu drew back his hands, hugged Jiang Li's back with both hands, and rested his chin on Jiang Li's forehead.

"I won't die." Jiang Li said suddenly.

Shen Yu held his hand tighter, and he gently coaxed him and said, "Yes."

"I really won't die, I will definitely grow old with you." Jiang Li stretched out his hand to push his chest, staring at him with both eyes, the gloomy eyelashes were wet, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.

"Trust me, don't be sad, I'm a little white rabbit with the same life as Yue! Huh?" Jiang Li rubbed his gloomy side face and said softly.

"Then can your little white rabbit also talk?" Shen Yu asked suddenly.

Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.

A word was sent in the palace to ask Shen Yu to go to the imperial study, and Shen Yu left.Jiang Li was idle and bored, and it happened that Fu Lai came in with a wooden box and two ledgers.

"What's this?" Jiang Li flipped through the ledger and saw the items in it, and realized that it was the living expenses of Prince Yu's Mansion.

"My lord said that I will leave it to you, the wangfei." Fulai pushed the wooden box in front of Jiang Li, and Jiang Li opened the box and saw that it was full of bank notes.

"This is all the assets of the palace." Fu said.

"Only banknotes? Does the prince not have any real estate?" Jiang Li opened the banknotes one by one to see, the amount of the banknotes was not too big, it should be the salary of the imperial court, but the royal family and aristocrats like the prince actually have nothing but salary nothing?

"No." Fu Lai raised his head and said, looking at Jiang Li, his eyes suddenly became more sad, "Others say that the prince is too indifferent to the interests, but I think the prince doesn't want to stay here for a long time at all."

Jiang Li's hand holding the bank notes trembled, and after a while he took out a few larger denominations and asked, "Can I handle these?"

"Of course. The prince said that all the money of the palace will belong to you in the future." Fulai said with a sudden smile, just like the sun dispelling the shadow of the dark clouds.

Jiang Li returned the ledger to Fulai, took the money out of the palace and returned to the South Hall.The gate of the south hall was closed tightly, and the red paper pasted on the gate read: Your son is very happy, and he will be on holiday for several days.When does it open?I don't know for now.

Jiang Li opened the door and saw Gu Qing and the others were packing up vegetables for lunch.Seeing him, Gu Qing asked in amazement: "It's not easy to think of our brothers on the second day of the wedding!"

"Go aside." Jiang Li pushed Gu Qing and sat down on another chair. "Where's my mother?"

"Are you confused?" Gu Qing took the opportunity to yell at him, "Of course Miss Su went back to live in Jiangfu." Gu Qing bumped Jiang Li's side with his elbow and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a good time last night?"

Seeing Gu Qing's smirk, Jiang Li suddenly narrowed his eyes, and asked suspiciously, "Did you do something?"

"Brother Gu put a little bit of that medicine in the toast to Lord Shen." Qi Yue explained while sitting on a low bench picking leeks while looking at Jiang Li.

"Damn it, why are you talking about everything!" Gu Qing kicked on Qiyue's bench and suddenly felt a chill behind him.He looked back tremblingly and saw Jiang Li's pale face, tense forehead, dark eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up wonderfully.

"Do you want to experience how much my waist hurts now?" The voice was low, as if it was squeezed out of the throat.

Gu Qing immediately jumped up and ran to the backyard, Jiang Li kicked up the chair Gu Qing was sitting on, grabbed the back of the chair with both hands and threw it in the direction Gu Qing was running.

"Damn it, it's serious!" Gu Qing yelled while running.

The rest of the people stood back and stood by the osmanthus tree leaning against the railing to watch the excitement, Ah Wu brought the wedding candies and melon seeds on the table and handed them to Sanyue.

"Why do our people like to run to the backyard?" Sanyue mocked while nibbling sunflower seeds.

At this moment, Jiang Li flipped through the leeks that Qi Yue had just picked, picked up the small bench that Qi Yue was sitting on and threw it over.

"That's right, the backyard door is still dead." Ah Wu continued.

"Did you run into the backyard last time?" Sanyue tilted her head and laughed at Ah Wu.

"Really?" Ah Wu took out a piece of candy and bit it in his mouth. Gu Qing screamed hoarsely in pain from the backyard, and Ah Wu continued to say flatly: "I can't remember, this candy is so sweet!"

"Ah! Pain, pain, I was wrong, Jiang Li, I was wrong! I'll pinch your waist, can't I pinch your waist for a day..."

In the imperial study room, Shen Yu stood with another minister, took the memorial from the eunuch and said, "Brother Emperor, you mean that Prime Minister Shangguan has a large sum of money in his hand."

"Judging from this secret book, it should be so." The emperor cleared his throat, picked up a cup of tea, lifted the lid to enjoy the aroma of the tea, but kept his eyes on the every move of the two courtiers.

"Is the source of this notebook reliable?" Shen Yu continued to ask.

"It's the same person who said Shangguan Jianshu was corrupt last time."

The veteran standing beside Shen Yu said: "If Prime Minister Shangguan indeed embezzled a huge amount of money in the official salt, what will this money be used for? The Shangguan Mansion has not been repaired and renovated, and it has not been found that he has bought it. What property."

"If he just put the money in one place properly, he wouldn't take such a big risk to embezzle so much at one time, but it will flow slowly." Shen Yu analyzed.

The emperor nodded, "I agree with you. Tell me again, what will he use the money for?"

"I don't have evidence now, it's just a blind analysis." Shen Yu lowered his head.

"But it's okay to say, I just want to hear your opinion, brother."

"...Recruiting troops?" Shen Yu cut to the point and said straight to the point.

"Recruiting troops? That's a serious crime of rebellion." The old minister fell to his knees with a plop, sweating coldly in fright.

"I just don't think so much money is needed for other things. Of course, this is just my guess." Shen Yu also knelt beside the old minister.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. It's just a few of us chatting. Why is Aiqing kneeling down? Get up quickly." The emperor got up from the dragon chair, went to the old minister to help the old minister, and then helped Shen Yu up. , praised and said: "I am very pleased that the emperor has his own opinion. Koizumi gave one of my calligraphy to King Yu."

Shen Yu took a step back, bowed his head and cupped his hands to thank him and said: "Thank you for your praise, Brother Huang, there is no need to reward calligraphy. Your calligraphy and paintings are all in the house, and there is no place to put new ones."

"Oh, is that so?" The emperor looked at the veteran next to him again in embarrassment. "That's a first-class painting, why don't you give it to Ai Qing?"

The veteran lowered his head and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
