Lin Mo got up early in the morning and started packing his things, but there was no need for him to do it himself, so he just told the servants to bring some things up.
"Second brother, are you really not going with us?" Lin Mo asked again.
"Second brother is reading a book at home, you two can go and have fun. Remember to wear more clothes and don't catch a cold." Lin Xiu looked at him and smiled gently, but still reminded him with some concern.
If the couple goes out to play, he should not go with them.
"Reading? Well then, if you want to go and chat with your classmates, remember to bring a few guards with you." The Prime Minister's troubles have not been resolved yet, and Lin Mo is still worried, so he brings guards with him just in case.
"Momo, are you okay?" Cheng Yan walked over from a distance and asked.
"Cheng Yan called you, go over and have fun."
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded and turned to walk towards Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan stopped where he was and waited for Lin Mo to come over. He put the cloak in his hand on him and asked, "Second brother, you're not going?"
"Second brother said he wanted to read a book, so he won't go. By the way, is Yuan going too?" Lin Mo put his hand on Cheng Yan's arm and asked as they walked.
"He's been bored in the palace and has been wanting to pester me to go out and play." Cheng Yan said helplessly.
"It seems that Ayuan is very dependent on you."
"Well, when he was a kid, he always came to me crying after being bullied. Obviously, compared to me and my brother, my brother seems to be better at comforting people..."
"Maybe... you look more secure." Lin Mo said, and couldn't help laughing.
The second brother seemed to be better at comforting people than the eldest brother, but when Lin Mo was tortured, he couldn't help but imagine that the eldest brother would appear and rescue him in the next second. However, in the end, as he thought, the eldest brother came to rescue him, but unfortunately they missed each other and didn't even see each other for the last time before he died.
After arriving at the destination by carriage, Lin Mo heard An Jinyuan's voice as soon as he got off the carriage.
"Fifth brother, Amo." An Jinyuan got off the carriage nearby and happened to see the fifth brother and his husband, so she hurried over.
Maybe it was because they were out playing today, Lin Mo discovered that An Jinyuan's smile was deeper than usual. Usually, it was a light smile, and you couldn't see it at all if you didn't look closely. Of course, that was only in the eyes of outsiders.
“Why are you wearing so few clothes?” After helping Momo fix her cloak, Cheng Yan looked at his brother who was walking towards him and frowned.
"You just got off the carriage." Seeing that Fifth Brother's expression was not right, An Jinyuan quickly smiled to please him.
Lin Mo stood aside and couldn't help laughing. These three brothers always had different sides in front of outsiders and in front of their family.
"Your Highness Prince Cheng, Mrs. Cheng." The palace maid holding a plush cloak walked over quickly and bowed respectfully.
"Um."
The maid stood up, walked quickly to her prince's side, and tied the cloak for him.
"Are we having lunch here today? I heard from fifth brother that we're having barbecue today? What is barbecue?" An Jinyuan followed them and asked.
"You'll know at noon. I specially prepared the sauce, you should like it." Lin Mo blinked and smiled.
"Okay, let's go inside and take a look. The peach blossoms over there are almost in bloom." An Jinyuan pulled Lin Mo and trotted to the front.
"Your Highness Prince Cheng..." The palace maid who was originally following His Highness Jin Yuan saw that her master had run away before she could come to her senses, and wanted to chase after him, but since His Highness Prince Cheng was still beside her, she spoke hesitantly.
"Follow them and just stay not far from them."
"Yes, Your Highness Prince Cheng." Several palace maids said this and quickly followed.
"Guard this area well and don't let anyone in." Cheng Yan tilted his head and instructed the guards behind him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cheng Yan looked up at the two people who were smiling happily not far away, and walked over.
The peach and pear trees in the western suburbs are planted separately, with peach trees planted in the east and pear trees planted in the west. Peach trees come in three colors: light pink, snow white, and red, but there is also a tree with red and white.
Looking up, the most common thing you see is pale pink peach blossoms, clustered one on the branches, with a thin circle of petals scattered around the base of the tree.
The spring breeze blows from time to time, and the petals on the branches fall slowly in circles.
"It's beautiful, isn't it? My royal brother brought me here to see it before. In fact, it's a little early to come here now. If we wait another month, when all the peach blossoms are in full bloom, this place will be even more beautiful." An Jinyuan reached out and picked a branch, and when she had admired it enough, she handed it to the palace maid behind her.
"It does look good, but why did you fold so many?" Lin Mo asked puzzledly, as the palace maid behind him already had a large handful of them in her hands.
"Take it back to the palace and give it to your royal brother. He specifically requested it. Who knows what he wants these for? He used to disdain them." An Jinyuan curled her lips.
"Maybe it will be useful." Lin Mo said. Who knows what the emperor is thinking?
"Amo, let me tell you, I think my brother might have someone he likes." An Jinyuan thought about it and leaned closer to share his speculations of the past few days with Lin Mo.
"Well...it's normal to have someone you like." Lin Mo said after pondering for a few seconds.
"Is it normal? Well, I should be the one making a fuss." An Jinyuan paused and pinched the petals on the peach branch in his hand.
Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't know how to start. He felt that An Jinyuan was a little disappointed. But Lin Mo thought about it and thought that if his elder brother and second brother also had someone they liked, maybe he would feel the same way.
The elder brothers have someone they like, which means that the love that used to belong to them has to be divided half with their sister-in-law. Perhaps in the near future, the elder brothers' attention to him will gradually decrease.
"Maybe... you can also find someone you like." Lin Mo gave him some advice.
"It's not as easy as you say... But it will be soon. My brother wants me to choose a consort from the top three candidates in the imperial examination."
When Lin Mo heard this, he was a little surprised. Thinking of his second brother, and then looking at An Jinyuan, Lin Mo suddenly felt that it would not be bad for A Yuan to be his second brother-in-law.
However, if this is really the case, the seniority between them seems a bit confusing. How should he call them?
"What's wrong? Why are you in a daze?" An Jinyuan asked, waving the peach branch in her hand in front of him.
"It's okay, let's go check out some other places." Lin Mo came back to his senses and put what he had just been thinking behind him.
Anyway, this matter is not certain yet. Maybe Ayuan doesn’t like the second brother. Let’s think about seniority and other things later.
"That's great. I'll take you to a place that my third brother and I will definitely go to when we come here." An Jinyuan blinked at him and said with a smile.
Lin Mo followed An Jinyuan through many twists and turns, and finally stopped after walking for a long time.
"This peach tree is so big." Lin Mo looked up and said in disbelief.
The trunk is so thick that it takes several people to hug it. It is completely different from other peach trees, like a mutant.
It is tall and thick. When the petals are in full bloom and you look up, you will feel as if you are covered by the entire sea of flowers.
"This one is the oldest. I heard that no one knows how long it has lived, and it even blooms earlier than the others. Look, when the wind blows, a lot of petals fall down." An Jinyuan raised his head and stretched out his hand to catch the falling petals, then tilted his head to look at Lin Mo and smiled.
"very beautiful……"
An Jinyuan glanced at Lin Mo who was looking up in amazement, then looked at the fifth brother who was standing not far from them, and walked away slightly, waving for the fifth brother to come over. He had pestered the fifth brother to come here in the first place, and now that his mood had improved, he had to return Ah Mo to the fifth brother.
Cheng Yan walked over and stopped a few steps away from him. He stared at Lin Mo under the peach tree, his lips slightly raised, and there was some surprise in his eyes.
When Lin Mo came to his senses, he found that An Jinyuan, who was standing next to him, was gone. Lin Mo wanted to look for her, but when he turned around, he saw the person standing behind him.
"Cheng Yan!" Lin Mo's eyebrows curved slightly and he walked towards him.
"Why didn't I see you just now? Where did you go?" Lin Mo stopped, looked up at him and smiled.
"I've been watching from the side, but I didn't come over because I saw you two were having fun." Cheng Yan reached out and took the petals off his head, and brushed off the petals on his shoulders.
"By the way, where's Ayuan?"
"Go to the other side. Didn't you want to pick flower petals before? Go now?" Cheng Yan asked.
"Okay, where are you going?"
There were no outsiders here, so Lin Mo held Cheng Yan's hand and walked with him, swinging his arms back and forth from time to time, just like when he was a kid and used to play with his second brother.
"Very happy?" Cheng Yan tilted his head and asked, holding Lin Mo's hand in his own.
“Well, after mom and dad come over, bring Xiaoya, Xiaonan and the others over?” Lin Mo looked at him and said expectantly.
Lin Mo can now imagine the surprised expressions on the faces of the children at home when they come over. That cute look will make Lin Mo happy for the whole day.
"good."
Although most of the peach blossoms had fallen by then, the largest one was definitely still in bloom.
…
The maids following behind them were each holding a bamboo basket that was full of flower petals.
"Cheng Yan!"
Cheng Yan, who was picking flower petals, heard Momo calling him, turned around, and saw a handful of scattered petals flying in front of him. Cheng Yan quickly raised his hand to block it in front of him.
"Huh? I'm coming too!" An Jinyuan saw Lin Mo throwing flower petals at the fifth brother, and his face showed some eagerness to try.
In the past, Fifth Brother was as serious as a grandfather. Now that he could use this to understand Fifth Brother, An Jinyuan felt inexplicably excited.
An Jinyuan reached out and grabbed a handful of petals from the bamboo basket, ran over and threw them at Fifth Brother's head. The petals scattered in the air, and Cheng Yan put down his hand with a helpless look on his face.
"That's enough for you two. Once you've thrown away the petals, you have to keep picking them."
However, the two people who were already having fun naturally would not listen to Cheng Yan.
Seeing that His Royal Highness Prince Cheng’s body and head were covered with flower petals and a helpless smile on his face, the palace maids standing by all covered their mouths and laughed.
It seems that as long as Mr. Cheng is around, His Royal Highness Prince Cheng will never have a cold face. Even the rumor that everyone thought His Royal Highness Prince Cheng would not smile has been refuted.
They stopped only after Lin Mo and An Jinyuan had thrown all the petals in the baskets in their hands. But seeing Cheng Yan's current appearance, they all covered their mouths and laughed.
"Very funny?" Cheng Yan said in a low voice with a sluggish face.
"Amo, fifth brother won't be angry, right?" An Jinyuan saw that there was no expression on fifth brother's face, and he seemed to realize that they seemed to have played too big a game.
"Hmm...how about I go over and comfort him?" Lin Mo asked uncertainly.
"Go quickly, we're counting on you." An Jinyuan quickly pushed the person towards the fifth brother.
"Are you angry?" Lin Mo leaned over and smiled ingratiatingly.
"Do you think I dare to be angry with you?"
I'm so busy coaxing him, and you're still angry?
“Well, let me pat them for you…” Lin Mo raised his hand to pat the petals off his clothes, but he was not tall enough to reach the ones above his head.
Lin Mo was busy helping Cheng Yan clean up, and An Jinyuan inadvertently saw Su Qingran and a strange man standing not far away.
"Su Qingran, why are you here?" An Jinyuan frowned and said somewhat displeased.
When Lin Mo heard this, he turned his head and looked over. He saw Su Qingran not far away staring at them intently. The smile on her face faded instantly.
Lin Mo looked at Su Qingran with cold eyes and tightened his grip on Cheng Yan's hand.
That woman is staring at Cheng Yan? !
