Chapter 84
"Don't interrupt me."
Xia Fuyang threatened: "If you don't tell me, I will let grandma know too."
Qu Watanabe: "How come you always bring grandma into everything?"
Xia Fuyang: "As long as it works."
He sat up, grabbed the branch next to him, and jumped onto the branch next to Qu Dubian. He squatted down and tried to grab his wrist again, "Tell the truth."
Qu Duanbian dodged for a moment: "It's not serious, it's just from practicing martial arts."
Xia Fuyang: "I remember that your Neijing Heart Method is a very gentle one. It is impossible to hurt your meridians by practicing it normally, right?"
Seeing that he was really determined to get to the bottom of the matter, Qu Duan held his forehead and said, "It will be fine in a few days. Trust me, really."
Xia Fuyang saw the guilty look on his face, and after a moment of silence, he narrowed his eyes and boldly guessed: "Are you secretly attacking Dantian acupoint?"
Qu Watanabe: “…”
Xia Fuyang couldn't believe it: "You are so brave!"
He had already made full preparations to attack Dantianxue, and even found a martial arts master in the mansion to look after him before he gave it a try.
But the guy in front of me is definitely not like that.
Don't say that His Majesty doesn't approve of the royal children attacking Dantianxue. If you are not careful, you will be disabled or die. Seeing his vaguely guilty look, Eunuch Xiaoyuan, Empress Xuanfei and grandmother probably don't know!
Qu Watanabe covered his mouth.
"Keep your voice down."
Xia Fuyang pulled his hand down and frowned, "Are you crazy about such a dangerous thing?"
Qu Watanabe: "My mind method is gentle, and it won't harm your body if you try it lightly."
Xia Fuyang: "You still say there is no harm in this situation? No, you should come with me to see a doctor."
The meridians were damaged by the impact of true Qi, and it felt as painful as a needle prick. Yet, this guy could attend his eldest brother's wedding banquet without batting an eyelid and even laugh with him here?
Qu Dubian clung to the tree branch, refusing to move forward. "It's really okay, trust me!!"
"Just treat this as my usual illness! Stop pulling me! My shoes are going to fall off!!"
He broke free from Xia Fuyang's hand, touched the tree trunk with his toes, turned over, and landed on the ground easily. It seemed that he was indeed not in any trouble.
Qu Duanbian hopped on one foot to pick up his shoes and looked up: "Why are you reacting so strongly?"
Xia Fuyang: "You would rather come secretly than ask me. There is a ready-made successful person right next to you, but you don't know how to take advantage of him?"
And how can these two situations be the same? ? The illness may not be controllable, but the damage to the meridians is entirely because this guy does not take himself seriously.
Qu Watanabe swore: "I will definitely do it next time."
Next time I will avoid Xia Fuyang before the simulation is over.
Xia Fuyang came down from the tree: "There will be a next time? If you don't want me to complain, at least let me take a closer look at your condition."
Qu Dubian did not refuse this time. He was pulled to the stone bench and stretched out his hand.
Xia Fuyang put two fingers on it.
His true energy is just like his name, much more intense than Liu Liu's.
He is indeed very talented in martial arts. After opening his Dantian for more than two years, he already dares to control his true energy to flow through other people's bodies.
Seeing that Xia Fuyang did not force him to see a doctor, Qu Dubian felt relieved.
After a moment, he said, "How is it? It's about the same as I said. It's not a big problem."
Xia Fuyang withdrew his hand, and the internal energy in his body slowly calmed down. "It's no big deal. It's all thanks to your special internal energy." But it must be a little painful.
"I decided to attack Dantian acupoint because I felt an opportunity. It was a mysterious intuition. I knew the time had come, so I decided to burn my boats. You will only get hurt if you try this way. It's better to calm down and wait for the opportunity to come."
Qu Watanabe was melancholy.
Who knows when that devilish opportunity will come?
"Are you relieved now? Well, go and make a scene in the bridal chamber. I think my eldest brother is almost done with his socializing."
Xia Fuyang got along well with the princes, but his identity meant that he could not take sides openly.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Qu Dubian glanced at him.
Xia Fuyang raised three fingers: "I swear to keep it secret."
"It's the puppy that's lying."
After Xia Fuyang left, Qu Dubian found a place to sit down obediently. They came down from the tree and were seen by the servants. He guessed that Ye Banban would come and find him soon.
However, Ye Xiaoyuan has not arrived yet.
Yi Twelve is here.
He is still dressed in black and his mask remains unchanged for a hundred years.
Qu Watanabe made a thud.
As expected, Yi Twelve asked in confusion: "Meridian, what's going on?"
“…”
It’s over, I forgot Liuliu was at work.
-
Shunning Palace.
Before going to sleep, Qu Dubian felt deeply that the impact on Dantianxue could no longer continue.
Xia Fuyang promised him not to tell anyone, and Liuliu would never complain as long as he ordered her to. But these two people were easy to talk to, and if Ye Banban also announced his empress, he would really be finished.
If his cheap father knew about this, he would probably force him to stop practicing.
The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and Shunning Palace was going to make mooncakes, so he had no time to think about these things.
He and Zhiyi each had their own ideas and wanted different fillings, so Concubine Xuan asked them to make them themselves.
“Try the salted egg yolk mooncake this year.”
Qu Dubian rolled up his sleeves, tied his hair neatly, and took out the duck eggs he had pickled in advance from the pickle barrel.
Zhiyi declined the salty mooncakes, as she only liked sweet ones. She respected her brother's taste, but didn't understand it. She sighed as she added a lot of sugar to the red bean paste and taro paste.
Qu Watanabe: "...Sister! Don't eat too much sweets."
Zhiyi: "No, I saw you eating salty mooncakes and I wanted to put more in."
Qu Watanabe: "It's definitely delicious, trust me."
Zhiyi's head shook like a rattle.
"Let's make a little more this time. Last year, Concubine Liang said that Concubine Zhou liked to eat taro paste, but she was too embarrassed to say it."
Qu Watanabe: “Okay.”
He peeled the salt duck egg, put the egg white in a bowl, and kept the yolk separate. Then he had to use his elbow to push away Dahei's head that was rubbing against him.
"No, dogs can't eat too much salty food."
The functions of the internal organs of elderly dogs will decline, and eating too much salt will increase the burden on the kidneys.
Dahei couldn't hear it, so he sat down and tilted his head: "Ouch."
"It's no use for an old lady to act cute...Okay, just one."
Qu Dubian sighed and picked out an egg yolk that was in good condition and not too salty.
It took them a whole day to make a lot of mooncakes.
I definitely can’t finish it, so I need to send it out.
Mooncakes are distributed in the palace every Mid-Autumn Festival, but the taste is always a little worse, so those who are thoughtful will prepare some for themselves and then share them with their friends.
Qu Dubian sent people to deliver mooncakes everywhere.
There were the emperor, empress, concubines and dowager concubines in the palace.
He wanted to send Master Fang and Master Xi outside the palace - Xi Zixing was Master Xi's son, and if he gave a little more, this guy could also get a few more.
There is also my grandmother who lives in the Marquis’ Mansion.
Xia Fuyang doesn't need to be given anything, he is thick-skinned and will ask others for it if he wants to eat it.
He can't give it directly to Xiaochun at the inspection and transportation department, so Xiaoyuan will ask someone to deliver it secretly.
He considered all the people in the circle, gave away a lot of mooncakes, and received even more. The ones that could not be eaten were distributed to the palace servants below.
The court still went to court on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Emperor Chongzhao has been very busy recently and has been discussing state affairs with his ministers in the evening. There will be no royal Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner this year.
On the one hand, everyone felt a lot more relaxed, but on the other hand, they also felt like something was missing.
So they set up a table in their own palaces with their own palace people and raised their glasses to the moon.
Qu Dubian carried a basket of fruits, said something to Concubine Xuan, and strolled to the prince's residence.
-
Inside the Rock Courtyard.
Tea and food have been prepared on the stone table in the yard.
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince are thirteen and twelve respectively this year. If you count their age in lunar years, they are fourteen and thirteen respectively.
When Qu Dubian arrived with a fruit basket, the two men were chatting casually.
"Fourth brother! Fifth brother!"
They both turned around at the same time and looked at the young boy who had come in after lifting up the hanging flowers. The fifth prince smiled and waved, "Come on, we're waiting for you."
He came over, took the fruit basket from Qu Duanbian, and glanced behind him, "Eunuch Xiaoyuan is not here?"
Qu Duanbian: "Shunning Palace was busy, so I was dragged here to serve as a soldier. I am familiar with this place, so they are relieved that I came here by myself."
"Hurry up and sit down," the fourth prince's sleepy eyes finally widened a little, "There is no night banquet this year. I asked them to prepare the table early. There are still a few dishes that have not been served. Please wait a moment."
Qu Dubian sat on the stone bench.
The fifth prince put the fruit basket aside.
The Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince were both in a period of rapid growth and were growing very fast. Compared with them, Qu Dubian looked smaller, but the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion was organized because of him.
The Sixth Prince also moved into the Prince's Residence when he was ten years old, but because he was under twelve, he would occasionally return to Xiuxiang Palace to live, and would not come back during the holidays.
The Fourth Prince stays wherever his bed is, but the Fifth Prince has nowhere to return to.
Qu Dubian felt that he still had to show some concern for his fifth brother, otherwise it would be a bit lonely for him to have no one to spend the holidays with him all year round.
The Fifth Prince: "When Xiaoqi turns twelve, we will replace the tea with wine."
Qu Watanabe: "Actually, I can drink it too. Fruit wine is fine. It's sweet. Come on, Fifth Brother, eat your food."
The Fourth Prince: "The Prince's Residence is too small, and the Rock Courtyard is also small. When I think about the fact that I will have to live here for more than two years..."
The fifth prince moved the fish meat with the bones removed to Qu Dubian.
He sighed, "Be content, Fourth Brother. I still have to live here for four more years."
Qu Watanabe: "Is it really okay for you two to say this in front of me, who hasn't even started living here yet?"
The fifth prince said with a smile: "You won't live here for six years. When the time comes, just act like a spoiled child and your father will definitely agree to let you live in Shunning Palace until twelve."
The Fourth Prince: "You will be twelve at the latest. By then, Xiaowu can accompany you in the Prince's Residence for one year, and Xiaoliu will accompany you for two years. For the remaining two years, you will have to keep yourself company."
Qu Du slammed the table and pretended to be angry: "No! When the time comes, I will definitely leave the palace and join you!"
"I want to eat your food, drink your drinks, spend your money, sleep here tonight and sleep somewhere else tomorrow night, and you are not allowed to chase me away."
The fourth prince and the fifth prince laughed out loud.
"Okay, we'll reserve a room for you in our mansion then."
The moonlight peeked out from behind the dark clouds, and the silver moonlight sprinkled all over the imperial city.
After having a good meal and tea, Qu Dubian found a comfortable stone and lay down on it. The Fourth Prince was too lazy to move, so the Fifth Prince sat on the stone next to Qu Dubian.
Qu Watanabe: "Fortunately, my father didn't hold a banquet, otherwise I would have to go back after having dinner with you."
The Fifth Prince: "I heard that Nanning is not stable, and someone from Concubine Lan's family is stationed there. I heard that the emperor's recent memorials are all about the affairs of Zhennan Pass."
The Fourth Prince: "We have not yet entered the court, so it will be much slower for us to get the news."
Qu Watanabe stretched lazily: "You will know it when you should know it."
He rested his head on his arms and looked at the full moon in the sky.
There are a few stars, the silver light is bright, and a few people are chatting.
He returned to Shunning Palace.
The palace gate was not closed and lanterns were lit on both sides.
Qu Dubian walked in quickly and saw Dahei at the door. Dahei called out a few times towards the inside.
Ye Xiaoyuan poked his head out from the kitchen, "Your Highness is back."
Zhiyi's face was covered with flour, and she choked and coughed repeatedly, "Xiaoqi, Dahei has finished eating the snacks. We are making some for him. Come and help."
Qu Dubian smiled and said, "I'm coming."
It would be nice if we could celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival like this every year.
