The two of them ate dumplings. According to Donghuan custom, they have to stay up until dawn. Mingruo was sure that he could not complete this task, so he washed up and got ready to rest.
Mingruo took off the hairpin from her hair, and her hair flowed down like a waterfall. She looked at the hairpin in her hand carefully, it was not the white jade hairpin she had always used.
This is a purple jade hairpin, which is moist and delicate all over. The head of the hairpin is a beautifully carved lotus flower, and the texture of each petal has been carefully traced to make it lifelike.
Si Haochen saw Mingruo staring blankly at the hairpin and asked softly: "Do you like it?"
"I like it, it's very beautiful." Mingruo confirmed that this was the most exquisite hairpin she had ever seen.
The hairpins I designed myself are also exquisite, but they are all completed with the help of filigree, engraving, inlay and other techniques. This hairpin relies entirely on exquisite carving and is so beautiful that it is natural.
"As long as you like it." Si Haochen didn't say much.
But Mingruo felt that the way he looked at the hairpin contained a different kind of emotion. But Mingruo was too tired today and didn't have much energy to think seriously, so in the end he only came to one conclusion - Si Haochen
Particularly fond of purple.
Early the next morning, I was awakened by the crackling of firecrackers again. Mingruo sat up from the quilt. Si Haochen had already put on his clothes and was making the bed. A small red bag rolled out from under the pillow.
Si Haochen picked it up and looked through it carefully. The small pocket was cut into the shape of a small fish, with a drawstring at the fish's mouth. Si Haochen opened the drawstring and found a silver ingot worth ten taels, about the size of a thumb.
blue gourd.
This gourd looks crisp and raw, as if it has just been picked from the vine. But its tentacles are warm, like jade, and exudes a faint fragrance.
"What is this?" Ren Sihaochen was knowledgeable and could not judge the material.
"New Year's red envelope." Mingruo put this away before going to the hot spring yesterday. After the strange conversation last night, Mingruo felt a little uncomfortable.
"Thank you." Si Haochen has lived for more than twenty years and has never received a New Year's red envelope. When he was a child in the palace, the emperor and empress would send rewards every new year, one for each prince, which was nothing special.
"This small gourd has been soaked in medicine for a long time. If you wear it, you will not be affected by smoke like 'bone-eroding incense'." This gourd actually grows randomly in the space of the medicine field. What is really rare is that
The potion used to soak it requires a lot of rare medicinal materials to achieve both detoxifying and antiseptic effects.
"I will wear it well." Si Haochen put the small gourd back into the bag and put it in his arms.
"Pfft." Si Haochen's action inexplicably reminded Mingruo of the character in literary works - Hua Laoshuan.
"..." Si Haochen has become immune to his princess's inexplicable 'giggling'. If he had the ability to read minds, he would probably catch her and beat her up a few times.
The next few days were extremely fulfilling. Most of the time, Mingruo took Xiaobai and Si Haochen to patrol the mountains and enjoy the fun of picking. A few times, he tried to make some nostalgic snacks, and His Royal Highness Prince Yun was lucky enough to eat them - very
Delicious French fries, not so delicious roujiamo, and completely unpalatable fried chicken steak.
"Ahem, it tastes good, but I forgot to paste it and it's a bit hard." Mingruo brought the chicken steak, which was almost comparable to dried meat, to Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, your teeth are better, let's eat it for you."
Seeing the 'fried chicken cutlet' that could be used as a teething stick for Xiaobai, Mingruo felt deeply: "My talent in cooking can only remain at the stage of talking on paper."
"It's just a little hard, everything else is fine." His Highness Prince Yun's filter has been turned on to an outrageous level.
"Haha." Mingruo didn't even have the confidence to say that.
"We will go back early tomorrow morning." Si Haochen said solemnly.
"Oh." Mingruo suddenly felt even more unhappy.
"What kind of expression is this?" It was as if the emperor could eat her up.
Mingruo stroked Xiaobai's tiger head and said, "Young Master Xiaobai, we can't go on a 'mountain patrol' in the future."
"It's not that you can't go out to play after you return home. What do you have to worry about?" Si Haochen was also helpless. Who can tell him what to do if the princess doesn't want to go back home? (Ranyi: Just catch her and give her a beating.
Oh...His Royal Highness Prince Yun: Who dares to hit my wife!)
"That's right." Mingruo blinked his watery eyes.
Si Haochen felt that she must be up to something, but he didn't ask because he was afraid that his heart wouldn't be able to bear it.
Mingruo has never been a person who is sad about spring and autumn. Now that he is leaving, he starts to pack his luggage.
I saw a few bunches of azaleas that had been forgotten on the windowsill. The ones grown in river water were basically dead. The ones raised in ice spring water were also showing signs of withering. The ones raised in well water were no different from those that had just grown from the trees.
It's almost the same when folded down, but the buds are fully bloomed.
The water in this space is a bit unnatural. Mingruo quickly put the bunch of flowers into the space.
After some tidying up by Ming Ruo, when they left the next day, the thatched house had returned to the "house with bare walls" condition when they came. The pottery pots and baskets that Aunt Li brought them for food were placed on the table by Ming Ruo.
Above, I also put a few pieces of broken silver in the clay pot, just as a small thank you for their care these days.
"Xiao Bai, come here." It was too cool to bring a tiger back, so Mingruo made a cat nest for Mr. Bai in a small backpack.
Xiaobai shook his fur and jumped into the basket: "Meow."
"Let's go." Si Haochen opened the door.
"Oh." The sky was not completely bright yet, and the mountains were covered with mist. Mingruo walked a few steps and almost tripped over a vine, "Ah..."
"Be careful." Si Haochen held Mingruo's hand.
They walked to the entrance of Osmanthus Village, and Mingruo saw a carriage parked under the old osmanthus tree.
"Master, madam." Shiwu ran over excitedly and took the backpack from Mingruo's hand, "Please take it, my subordinate."
Fifteen was startled when he saw the lazy white cat lying inside. He still remembered that this little thing almost took off the assassin's face with a few claws... Did this cat actually follow the master and his wife all the time? Such ability
, which really makes their secret guards feel ashamed.
Si Haochen helped Mingruo get into the carriage. This car was very familiar to Mingruo. Every time they returned to the imperial capital, they seemed to take this car.
"If you feel sleepy, just take a nap." Si Haochen took off his cloak and hung it on the hanger.
"I'm not sleepy." Mingruo was no longer sleepy after being blown by the cold wind for a while.
Si Haochen leaned on the pillow and patted the place beside him: "It takes a long time to get there."
"How long is long?" Mingruo sat down holding his knees.
"Hmm...probably Youshi."
"Ha." Mingruo's eyes widened, "It takes so long to walk for a day!"
Mingruo thought that he could arrive at the imperial capital at noon.
