The prince's smile was uglier than his tears: "You must have heard wrong, it was Liu Quxing who just said that!"

Old Man Yao didn't meet him, so he just turned around and walked to the backyard: "There are rolled noodles on the chopping board of the kitchen stove. If you want to eat, you can make them yourself."

The prince swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Mr. Yao, you are a living Bodhisattva!"

After a while, a group of local dogs squatted in a row in the backyard. Each person was holding a large bowl and snoring to eat noodles. He kept pulling his chopsticks into his mouth.

When the prince raised his head, he saw Imperial Physician Yao standing beside the bare apricot tree, looking at them with disgust.

The cat in Doctor Yao's arms also looked at them with disgust.

The prince hesitated and said: "Mr. Yao, it seems to look down on us a little?"

Imperial Physician Yao sneered: "With your eating looks, I allow it to look down on you."

Prince: "..."

Chen Ji: "..."

Doctor Yao looked at them and said pitifully: "Eight people went out in the morning, and eight local dogs came back in the evening. Those who know about it know that you are going to make novel gadgets, and those who don't know think that you have been revealed by the demon mirror."

He hugged Dark Cloud and turned back to the house: "I'm going to bed. After dinner, remember to clean up the kitchen."

After the prince finished eating the noodles, he collapsed on the ground and sighed: "Chen Ji, can we take a day off?"

Bai Li hurriedly said: "No, he has signed a military order with his father. If he fails to complete it, his father will really send him to Lingnan."

The prince was speechless, and finally whispered: "You are more active than him."

At this time, Bai Li stood in front of the apricot tree in the yard, wondering what he was thinking.

Chen Ji sat on the ground with a bowl in hand, raised his head and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Bai Li suddenly said: "All the leaves on the almond trees have fallen off, it doesn't look good... Just wait for me."

After saying that, she climbed up the ladder and over the wall into the palace. After a while, she pulled a piece of red cloth and climbed back.

Princess Baili cut the red cloth into long and thin strips, wrote peace, joy, smoothness, and worry-free on them, and tied them to the branches.

She wrote a separate piece of red cloth and moved a ladder to hang it on the highest point of the apricot tree.

Chen Ji saw her clumsily carrying the ladder, so he kindly said, "Princess, can I help you hang it?"

Bai Li said anxiously: "No, I will die myself!"

Not only that, she also wrapped the cloth around the branches several times, so that she couldn't see clearly what was written while standing under the tree.

Bai Li slowly stepped down the ladder and greeted everyone with a smile: "Come and write something too."

Everyone looked at each other: "What to write?"

Bai Li smiled so hard that his eyes curled up: "Just write down your own wishes!"

Liu Quxing said: "I know what to write!"

But he saw him dip his pen in ink and write on the red cloth, "Master, health and longevity". She Dengke angrily scolded the flatterer, and then wrote "Master, longevity and boundless life".

Liang Gou'er wrote about having wine to drink every day, and Liang Mao'er wrote about buying several acres of fertile land.

The prince hesitated for a moment, then he secretly wrote a message like Bai Li and wrapped it around the highest point of the apricot tree so that no one could see it.

He climbed down from the ladder and looked at the bald man beside him: "Little monk, what is your wish?"

The young monk looked a little embarrassed: "I can't make wishes at will. I have to fulfill my big wishes. This matter is closely related to spiritual practice."

"Well, you don't have to write!"

Red cloth strips were hung all over the branches of the apricot trees, as if red flowers were blooming.

The courtyard where a group of old men lived suddenly gained a touch of gentleness and elegance.

Bai Li stood in front of the apricot tree with his hands behind his back and his head raised, admiring his masterpiece with a smile.

She turned to look at Chen Ji: "Chen Ji, what are you going to write? You haven't written it yet."

Chen Ji pondered for a moment and picked up his pen. Bai Li leaned over to take a peek, only to see that the young man had only written four simple words, "Reunion and Reunion".

Bai Li whispered softly: "I thought you could write words like 'golden taels'. Are you looking forward to being reunited with your family? But those family members of yours..."

Chen Ji smiled and did not explain. He wrote "reunion and reunion", not his family.

Bai Li looked at the red blessing cloth on the branch with a peaceful expression: "Sometimes I envy the lives of ordinary people. I know this means that I don't know the blessings amidst the blessings, but I still hope that my home can be more warm and reunited.

There will be more days.”

When Chen Ji heard this, he suddenly said tentatively: "I see Mrs. Yun Fei gives the princess a lot of money every month. The prince's life is not as good as the princess's. Why do you say this?"

Bai Li also smiled: "As a girl, as long as you grow up well in the eyes of your parents, you don't need to be well-educated, as long as you can marry according to their ideas. My parents are not that strict with me.

If you ask for it, you will naturally be more tolerant and indulgent. My mother has always wanted to have a younger brother. You see, my father finally returned home. She immediately sent people to clean the entire Anxi Street and distributed Yanmen dates to all the neighbors."

Chen Ji was startled. It turned out that giving out Yanmen dates had a meaning, but it couldn't be too obvious, so he didn't give out peanuts, longan and lotus seeds to the neighbors...

He suddenly asked: "Princess, the persimmon tree in Feiyun Garden..."

Bai Li smiled and replied: "My mother wanted to cut down the tree and replace it with a pomegranate tree, but I stopped. I think persimmons look better than pomegranates."

"Then why are the persimmons hanging on the branches but not picked?"

"We need to leave some food for the magpies spending the winter."

"It turns out it was the princess's kindness..."

Chen Ji felt an icy coldness spreading down his spine to his neck. The Yanmen jujube tree symbolized the birth of a child early, and the pomegranate tree meant many children and good fortune. Concubine Yun's desire to have a son was almost obvious.

But can you inherit the title of Prince Jing after giving birth to a son? No, there is another brother-in-law in front of you, unless the prince dies in prison!

Until this moment, Chen Ji's speculations had a reasonable logical chain. Concubine Yun hoped that the prince would die in prison. As for whether Bai Li would be implicated, she didn't care at all...

Or maybe Concubine Yun's original intention was to send Bai Li to the inner prison so that no one would doubt her anymore.

Chen Ji looked at Bai Li with a complicated expression, he wanted to remind him, but he didn't know where to start.

There was Liu Mingming, who killed his grandfather with his own hands, and Concubine Yun, who was a vicious food-eater. Compared with these two, Chen Ji suddenly felt that his father in the Chen family just sent him to the Taiping Medical Center as an apprentice, which seemed a bit merciful.

This world.

Chen Ji whispered: "Princess Princess."

"Um?"

"Your kindness will be rewarded."

"Really? I think so too! Let's go, I have to clean up the dust when I get back. See you tomorrow morning!"

"See you in the morning. Tomorrow we can call some helpers from the city to repair the kiln together."

Chen Ji looked up and watched the white carp climb over the courtyard wall and disappear into the night. He looked back at the gentle and delicate red apricot tree and said nothing for a long time.

At a certain moment, he wanted to open the top red cloth and see what wishes the prince and Bai Li had written, but he felt that it was not good to pry into other people's privacy, so he had to smile and give up.
