When Gu Xiao returned to the mansion, Chu Yao was still asleep.

Compared with the meatballs that looked like rolling three years ago, his physique has grown a lot because of martial arts training, so he naturally smoked. Although it looks mellow, it is not chubby and soft. The young man's heroic silhouette, with a baby fat on his face, smiled and filled the dimple with honey.

August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival and Chu Yao's birthday. After today, he will be eleven years old and stepped into the threshold of the little adult.

The birthday of the emperor's grandson should have been lively, but it was a pity that she met to pray for Emperor Chongzhao, Jing Wangfei Tang Zhiyin ordered not to do anything to provoke impeachment, only made clothes for Chu Yao, and ordered the chef to prepare some exquisite meals and Dim sum, even for his birthday.

Young people like to be busy, and Chu Yao is naturally no exception, but he also knows that Grandpa Huang is seriously ill, and it is not time for fun. Although there is no objection to grievances, he obediently accepted the arrangement, but he has a bad appetite and eats casually. When he ordered something, he ran into the courtyard, staring at the courtyard gate blankly, waiting for Gu Xiao to return.

Master said, bring him candied haws when he comes back.

However, he waited until the time was divided before Gu Xiao came back.

Although it was Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather was cold, and I don't know where he ran. His sweat was blown cold by the night wind, his face was a little pale, and his lips were faintly blue.

Chu Yao originally wanted to be temperamental, so he swallowed back when he saw it, and trot forward and grabbed Gu Xiao's hand. Unexpectedly, the man grabbed him backhand, exerting so much force that the thin bones started. It hurts.

"It hurts—what are you doing, Master?"

Gu Xiao seemed to be awakened suddenly, and subconsciously let go of her hand, watching Chu Yao hurriedly withdraw her hand to blow in air, calmed the chill on her face, opened a smile at the corner of her mouth, and knelt down and said, "I'm a little tired, sorry. Ayao, why don't you rest?"

Chu Yao circled him twice and flattened his mouth: "Where is the good candied haws? Master, you lied to me again!"

When Gu Xiao left from the Zuichun Tower, it was already late. The Beijing Guards were patrolling. Even if they had light work, they should not cause trouble. So he hurried on the road, how could he still remember this? small thing?

After hearing this, Gu Xiao knew that he was wrong: "It's wrong to be a teacher. I will supply you two tomorrow, okay?"

Although this child is a little bit squeamish, he is very rational. He rarely embarrassed others in these matters. Gu Xiao thought that he would be able to fool around, but he did not expect Chu Yao to turn around and rub his eyes with the back of his hand. There was a sound.

Gu Xiao eats soft but not hard, and she surrenders when she sees it: "Little ancestor, don't cry! Beware of the princess let me eat it!"

"Mother concubine doesn't..." Chu Yao murmured softly, with some unspeakable grievances, "My father is in a bad mood, and my concubine always has to be with me. How can I be free?"

Gu Xiao was startled.

Recently, undercurrents are surging in the Tianjing City. Although Emperor Chongzhao has many heirs, none of them can get past the eldest prince Chu Huang, who died young. The other kings of Duan and Jing... and even his beloved Chu Ze, none The emperor belongs to his heart.

The stronger the prince’s strength, the more the relatives of the mother family behind him will occupy the court in the court. No matter which one of them wins the throne, who knows the surname Chu or the surname in the future?

Emperor Chongzhao was faint throughout his life, but he persisted in this matter. Therefore, there was news from the spies in the palace that the emperor wanted to make his eldest grandson Chuxun the emperor's grandson.

As soon as the news was revealed, it had not been spread to the public, and it had already started in the dark.

When Emperor Chongzhao did this, he seemed to slap all his sons heavily in the face. He would rather set up his grandson instead of his son. Even though there are rules to be found, how many people can be equal?

Now this is just the sound of wind, and when Emperor Chongzhao really issues his order, it will be a sudden change.

The Jing Wang has been conspiring secretly for many years. Now that he has plenty of wings, he is naturally no longer willing to bear it.

Various thoughts turned around in Gu Xiao's mind. He reached out his hand to turn Chu Yao over to face him, shaved his nose, and smiled: "Okay, have you used dinner? How about me? For you to eat?"

Birthday passed cold and cold, Chu Yao was naturally unhappy, and his appetite was not very good. He just filled out two mouthfuls of food at random and waited for him most of the night. It’s okay not to mention it. Now, Gu Xiao said that his stomach He cried out "coo-coo".

He blushed and stopped making noise. He rubbed Gu Xiao's neck affectionately, a little excited: "Master, did you do it yourself?"

Gu Xiao said in his heart, "I'm going to make a big difference," and smiled kindly: "I will throw the noodles by myself."

Chu Yao: "..."

He chirped and let go of his hand honestly. The young man pulled a lot. Gu Xiao could smoothly hold Chu Yao's hand forward without bending over, stepping across the yard, one big and one small. The falling flowers, leaving two shallow footprints.

Chu Yao didn't want to sleep. Jing Wang and his wife were talking at night in the study. The palace people naturally didn't dare to persuade them. They watched Gu Xiao take the little master to the front yard, lost a wooden knife for him to practice tricks, and picked it up by himself. The sleeve went into the kitchen.

There are also the chef and servants on duty in the kitchen. When they see him, they all bow their heads to say hello. I thought this master was hungry and looking for some supper, but I didn’t expect that Gu Xiao waved them out. Start to heat the pot.

He always likes to tease children, he can actually cook. Gu Xiao has lived with her master and her mother in the mountains since childhood. His fingers do not touch the spring water. Master’s cooking is limited to not eating. Therefore, he has been self-reliant since he was ten years old. The kung fu in the kitchen is more intense than that of a knife, even these three. When I was so unfamiliar, I always have nothing to say in the next bowl of noodle.

The firewood was ignited under the stove, and the pot was heated and water was poured. Taking advantage of this effort, Gu Xiao took the dough that was awake in the kitchen and spread it out with a rolling pin to form a large sheet of dough. After a few strokes with a kitchen knife, it became almost wide and narrow. Not bad noodles.

He didn't do too much. After all, it was too late, and the young people would accumulate food if they used them more often, so they would move quickly. Not long after, Chu Yao, who was on the sidelines, saw the maid approaching with a nanmu tray and putting a bowl of steaming noodle soup on the stone table.

The noodles of uniform thickness are sunk under the mellow chicken broth, topped with minced green vegetables and soft-boiled eggs, dotted with a handful of chopped green onions. It looks ordinary and not delicate, but the heat makes his eyes reddened.

Gu Xiao washed her hands, sat in front of him, raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?"

"No...Master eat first."

Chu Yao sniffed, picked up a chopstick and brought it to Gu Xiao's mouth first. Gu Xiao lowered his head and sucked the noodles, then smiled and watched the little boy gobble it up. The attendants around him stopped talking. I want to think that the little master has fed all the royal style to the dog.

Seeing that Chu Yao was eating happily, Gu Xiao felt frustrated and inexplicably relaxed. This child was somewhat stupid not like a royal, but he always made him laugh unconsciously.

Unfortunately, this smile didn't last long, and it disappeared quickly at the corner of his mouth.

A guest from Jingwang Mansion came to visit late at night.

The emperor Sun Chuxun asked himself today to go to Datong Temple outside the city to pray for the emperor for three days. He will leave tomorrow morning. There are also Princess Yuning and Tang Zhiyang, Gu Xiao did not expect them to be quiet tonight The palace is coming.

Princess Yuning Chu Wanning is the only daughter of Concubine Tang Chen, and Tang Zhiyang is the elder brother of Concubine Tang Zhiyin, Princess Jing. This shows that the relationship between King Chuyan and the Tang family is close, and even the marriage has become a union of the two parties. Red rope.

Emperor Chongzhao was jealous of his son, and naturally did not care much about his daughter. Fortunately, Princess Yuning has a spoiled mother, and she has always been quiet and never causes trouble. Compared with her two sisters, she is more of a father. More blue eyes. Therefore, the other two princesses were married away from the Great Wall and made peace. Only Princess Yuning married Tang Zhiyang, the general of Jingwei. The couple stayed in Tianjing for a long time, with piano and sound. Now Princess Yuning is four months pregnant.

There was originally the influence of Concubine Tang Chen, but now it has been maintained by in-laws. Princess Yuning has always had a very good relationship with Prince Jing's Mansion. In contrast, Chu Xun's identity is a bit embarrassing.

He is the eldest grandson of the emperor. He lost his father in his early years. Several emperor uncles don’t say how good he was to him. They are always able to live up to their face. Especially Jing Wang Chuyan remembers the love of his elder brother in the past, and has always been quite to Chu Xun. Generosity, even if Chu Yao had been apprentice to his teacher three years ago, Gu Xiao wouldn't be easy to accept him as a disciple, let alone let him be the first disciple unless Jing Wang let go.

However, since the beginning of this year, the controversy over the conquest has intensified. There have been many parties in the court, intrigues in the harem, and the relationship between the princes has dropped to a freezing point, and the treatment of the emperor's heart is naturally more subtle.

Although Chu Xun is young, he is a very savvy and transparent person.

Gu Xiao was thinking about the years in his heart. Chu Yao people are careful about their children. When they see them, even if they laugh and bloom, they put down their dishes and ran over to embrace Princess Yuning’s hand, saying: "Aunt Huang, you can be slow Don’t scare my little girl!"

Princess Yuning was just crossing the threshold, she smiled when she heard the words, and she touched her slightly swollen belly with one hand, jokingly: "The doctor hasn't diagnosed it, how did A Yao know that she is the younger sister?"

Chu Yao blinked: "Because A Yao has a brother Xun, of course he wants a younger sister!"

Tang Zhiyang couldn't help shaking his head: "A Yao, what if he is a younger brother?"

Chu Yao glared at him: "I want my sister, that's my sister!"

Chu Xun finally couldn't help laughing. He bent down in front of Chu Yao and squeezed his little cousin's cheek: "Okay, Aunt Huang must give Ayao a beautiful girl!"

Chu Yao was satisfied and stopped making trouble with Princess Yuning. He took Chu Xun's hand and turned to Gu Xiao and shouted, "Master, Brother Xun is here!"

Gu Xiao walked over, put a veil on Chu Yao's face, and wiped off his greasy cat face indiscriminately. Then he bowed his hands in salute: "I have seen the princess and the maid!"

He now hangs a nameless vacant job under King Jing to make it easy to walk. Seeing Princess Yuning and his wife naturally have to obey some etiquette. As for Chu Xun and Chu Yao, both disciples who should salute him, they naturally avoided this. rule.

Although Princess Yu Ning rarely goes out of the palace, it is not the first time to see him. She smiled slightly when she heard that, Tang Zhiyang personally helped Gu Xiao up: "There are no outsiders now, and Lieutenant Gu does not need to be polite. ."

Gu Xiao straightened up in good faith and said: "The prince is discussing matters in the study."

His words are simple, but the three who came are all thoughtful, Princess Yu Ning smiled and said: "It will be tomorrow, my palace has a body and a first child, I have come to find Wang's wife for a lesson."

She was right. Gu Xiao twisted her eyebrows to herself. There are imperial physicians and palace people in the palace who specialize in this way, so why bother to ask Concubine Jing? It's nothing more than an excuse.

He glanced at Tang Zhiyang, and his smile was still gentle, but with the yin bird in his eyes, he said when seeing Gu Xiao's eyes: "I'm going out soon, Jingwei moves frequently, this general wants to discuss this matter with the prince. "

With a heart move, Gu Xiao called the housekeeper and asked him to take the man to the study. At the same time, he invited the princess Jing out. The latter carefully asked the maid to arrange refreshments in the Yaoguang Pavilion so that the princess would entertain Princess Yuning.

Princess Yuning was smiling from beginning to end, except that the knuckles of the hand that pinched the kerchief turned white. She didn't talk nonsense, and soon followed the maid and attendant.

Gu Xiao saw Tang Zhiyang not speaking, so she looked at Chu Xun and asked: "Xun'er?"

Chu Xun performed his discipleship respectfully to him: "I haven't seen Master and A Yao for a long time. I missed it very much. I have also gained some gains from martial arts training recently. Tonight I will borrow aunty’s carriage for a convenience. Master can ask Don’t hesitate to enlighten me."

Gu Xiao laughed. Chu Yao couldn't wait to pick up his wooden knife, holding Chu Xun's hand, and ran towards the martial arts field. His footsteps were so fast that he couldn't see the cumbersome sluggishness. He probably thought Yixue was caught by Chu Xun last time. Sweep down the shame of the plum blossom pile.

Gu Xiao looked at them, one tall and one short. The flying flowers and fallen leaves were all hurriedly raised behind him. The noble son with yellow shirt and jade belt warmed his face, and the little boy with high black hair frowned and raised his hand. The feet are light and worry-free, as if throwing away all the troubles of the world, the years are as quiet as a picture.

However, it is just like a picture scroll.

There seemed to be a flash of light in his eyes, and he sighed silently.

Gu Xiao walked very slowly. When he came to the martial arts field, the two brothers had already competed for several rounds. He has a vicious look, and at a glance he knows that Chu Xun has a solid foundation and skillful moves. It must be a hard work. In contrast, Chu Yao is stretched. He forgets three moves and makes frequent mistakes in his footwork. This shows that he usually assigns his homework. They all relied on the past, and even the basic skills were just oversight. If it hadn't been for Chu Xun's subordinates to take care of the little cousin's face, I am afraid that the latter would have fallen off the plum blossom pile to make a ball.

After three years of getting along, Gu Xiao was not attentive to teach, but Chu Yao was squeamish and could not bear hardship. He would cry his father and call his mother when struggling, and fed the dog all his original ambitions, always holding on for less than an hour. You have to act like a baby. He was young, and he was born cute. No one can compare himself to being coquettish. The princess loves his son again. Gu Xiao insisted a few times but had no choice but to release the water. The baby was born in the royal family, so he didn't need to lick his blood for life. Why bother to twist the vines?

This is so. When Gu Xiao saw his horrible moves and moves, even if the person who prevailed was his apprentice, he still felt very embarrassed.

Chu Yao was just being lazy, not really stupid. The two sides were dwarfed by a fight. He tried his best but couldn't even touch the corner of Chu Xun's clothes. He quickly blushed, not knowing whether it was anger or shame.

The next moment, the back of his neck tightened. Gu Xiao grabbed his collar and threw it back, but he felt the wind in his ears and his feet fell to the ground. He sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the master standing by himself. Leave enough place, fluttering like a leaf falling on the branch.

"Ayao, from tomorrow onwards, I will swing an extra 3,000 knives and take an extra 20,000 steps every day, and I will watch you do it for the teacher." After a pause, Gu Xiao looked at Chu Xun, "Growing well, try it ......Youlong."

Before Chu Yao had time to speak out, he felt that there was a flower in front of him, and Gu Xiao's shadow suddenly disappeared on the plum blossom pile.

Chu Xun instinctively put a knife in front, just hitting a strong force, and then there was a cracking sound, his face changed hurriedly, and he flew back and saw only half of the wide wooden knife in his palm.

The fracture was smooth and neat, it should have been cut by a sharp blade, but Shicai could see clearly that Gu Xiao didn't have a knife in his hand.

He was startled, Gu Xiao's voice already rang in his ears: "Thunder."

This time Chu Xun reacted extremely quickly, and the broken knife slashed out against the trend. It was the overbearing "White Rainbow".

"Turning flowers."

The broken knife collided with the palm of the flesh, and the original strength suddenly softened, and the hand was gently pinched under the blade, and the gesture turned, Chu Xun only felt that the wrist was loose, and his hand was empty.

He was disarmed, but he didn't panic. He set his foot on the plum blossom pile and turned his body around. He rubbed his palms and slashed towards Gu Xiao. He took the "horizontal wave" way, although the strength and speed were still Insufficiency, but it is already visible.

Unfortunately, he was confronted with a "broken goose" that broke his chest. It was Gu Xiao who kept his strength for seven minutes. The broken knife stopped at hand and instead shook him back. Chu Xun was still in a cold sweat.

Chu Xun smiled bitterly: "Master is really not stingy this time."

Gu Xiao smiled: "I can't let you run in vain, pay attention to the wind!"

On the plum-blossom pile, the gas gathered in the wind and turned around. Chu Xun couldn't get close or retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and challenge in embarrassment. He could understand that Gu Xiao always tried hard to stop, and deliberately reported the name of the trick before making the move. The speed was much faster than usual, and it was a careful precept and deed.

Chu Yao sat on the ground and looked up, looking intently. Apart from the attack three years ago, he rekindled his yearning for martial arts for the first time.

He stared at the master's movements closely, and didn't even dare to blink his eyes until the sixteenth pattern was over and the two fell to the ground.

Gu Xiao calmed down, Chu Xun was already sweating, but he was still courteous: "Thank you, Master for your advice."

"You are willing to work hard and practice the basic skills well, but the moves are too deadly, not flexible enough, and naturally can't keep up with the changes in footwork; the internal strength is too poor, add one more hour of breathing every day, first Only by raising your qi can you build your body." Gu Xiao clarified his question carefully, then beckoned to call Chu Yao, squinted and teased, "Maruk, do you remember?"

Chu Yao was a little ashamed. He didn't even refute this nasty title. He shook his head into a rattle, and said like a mosquito: "Just, remember half..."

"Finally, I remembered half of it. I taught you for three years!" Gu Xiao sighed with her hands on her chest. "Back then, I was ordered by my master to learn the tricks within a month. As a result, you haven't had three years. Remember, a very smart kid just doesn’t need to work hard. How can I go to see your master?"

Chu Yao shuddered hard when thinking of the "female bandit" three years ago.

The child’s memory is the shallowest and the deepest, and he can’t hold too much in his small heart. However, Gu Qifang is as overbearing as his name is daunting, like a sharp knife stuck in his heart, called Chu It is difficult for Yao to forget. Since entering Gu Xiao’s clan, Chu Yao’s most worry about being lazy is not that his master punishes him, but that he recalls the smiling face of his ancestor, for fear that this "female bandit" will come to Tianjing City for inspection someday. Disciple and grandson, seeing him upset, he really made himself a plate of braised meatballs.

He has so much awe of Gu Qifang, but he has no idea that a thousand days have passed by, and the woman who was dressed in an angry horse had no idea where she was buried.

Gu Xiao put his expression into the bottom of his eyes, his fingers slowly tightened, his expression on his face remained unchanged, and he said: "Go, stand on the stake for half an hour."

Chu Yao didn’t make any excuses for being lazy this time. He put on a plum blossom pile and practiced his handwriting skills honestly. He still stared at the bottom with only one pair of eyes. Unfortunately, the night breeze was so strong that he couldn’t hear the two of them. what.

Actually, Chu Xun only said one sentence to Gu Xiao: "At three quarters tomorrow night, Lord Ruan wants to meet with Master in Yongchang Lane, north of the city."

Gu Xiao's pupils shrink slightly.

There are many officials surnamed Ruan in the imperial court, but there is only one person worthy of Chu Xun to come and speak at night-Hubu Shangshu, Ruan Feiyu.
