Although I don’t know what is involved, it is a fair fact: when people are depressed, they often have to sleep lightly and not feel at ease; but once they encounter something good and satisfying, they can often forget about their worries and fall into sweet dreams. A few days ago, Xia Chengyi was worried, and it was really difficult to move around. He tossed and turned every night and couldn't fall asleep. But last night, he had an extremely sweet sleep. I don't know what kind of energy brought all the beauty into her dream, making the dream as complete as reality. Dreams are the inextricable product of sleep. Sleep is like a tree with dreams, and this night, the trees were full of sweet fruits.
There are many flowers and plants in the palace. At this time, the summer flowers are in full bloom, attracting many unknown birds. Xia Chengyi has always loved birds, except this morning.
"What a naughty bird, the ghost keeps screaming, and it's so noisy!" Xia Chengyi was dreaming that he and Mei Yuanchen were going to the church to get married, and when he saw that they were about to marry each other, he heard a few "woo ah ah" sounds outside. The birds chirped, and the dream came to an abrupt end. She was full of resentment and anger. She sat up, put her hands on her hips, and cursed loudly at the window sill.
Zi Teng was making breakfast when she heard the scolding coming from Xia Chengyi's room. She hurriedly put down her work and hurried over. She stood in front of her bed and asked curiously: "Princess, what's the matter?"
"It's none of your business. It's those thieving birds that disturbed my sweet dreams. They're so bad!" Xia Chengyi muttered and said angrily. After hearing this, Ziteng lowered her head and covered her mouth and chuckled softly, but she couldn't help but think in her heart: "How can you blame the birds for this? They also call like this on weekdays."
"Smelly girl, you dare to laugh at me again!" Ziteng couldn't help it and laughed loudly. Xia Chengyi listened and pretended to be scolded. The two of them had grown up together since they were young, and had been with each other every day. They had already become sisters. Among the girls in the house, only Zi Teng dared to joke with her.
When Wisteria came, she opened the door, and the aroma of breakfast in the hall wafted in. Xia Chengyi had already put on his clothes. When he smelled the fragrance, he felt hungry. He walked to the dining table and picked up cakes to eat. His hand was only halfway extended, but it was stuck in the air. He suddenly turned his head and looked at Ziteng, and said with excitement: "Ziteng, come and teach me how to make pastries!"
Since leaving the capital last month, Mei Yuanchen has not had a sound sleep. When I left, I was worried about something happening in the Mei Mansion. When I came back, I was worried about the injustice in the palace. When I was in Anxian, I was leading troops to march outside. The slightest carelessness would lead to endless disasters. How could I dare to slack off for a moment? Last night, I lay on the bed in Yuqiong Langyuan, put down all my worries, and fell asleep with all my tiredness. It was so comfortable that I didn't even feel that I had missed the time I had always had to get up early to practice. However, the use of the immortality skill's spiritual body is a natural instinct that accompanies the growth of skill. Mei Yuanchen was awakened just after Xia Chengxuan stepped into the courtyard. However, he did not come to knock on the door, but sat directly in the pavilion in the courtyard.
Mei Yuanchen stood up quickly, washed up in a hurry, opened the door after getting dressed and groomed, and called to Xia Chengxuan outside: "Chengxuan, come in!" His words were so sudden that Xia Chengxuan was shocked. It took a while.
"Chengxuan, why are you here so early? Do you have something to tell me?" Seeing that he didn't speak a word all the way, Mei Yuanchen asked with a smile when the two of them sat down at the tea table. Xia Chengxuan came to see him early in the morning, but he waited outside and didn't knock on the door. He thought there was something difficult, so he spoke first.
"Huh~~ Yuan Chen, the thing you asked me to do for you before you left the capital has now become clear." Xia Chengxuan poured himself a cup of overnight tea, drank it all, and then said seriously.
On the 16th of last month, Mei Yuanchen met a ragged man in the Boluo Temple in the east of the city, and unexpectedly heard his uncle Bai Lien's name from his mouth. But he didn't have time to react at the time and watched the man in ragged clothes walk away. When he figured out the connection and went back to look, he could not find the man anywhere. For this matter, Mei Yuanchen even asked Du Chong for help. Later, although Xia Chengxuan used the golden order from Xia Mu Dynasty to mobilize two thousand soldiers to search for dozens of miles around Boluo Temple, he never found him. Although a month and a half had passed since this incident, Mei Yuanchen had always been brooding over it, to the point where he did not dare to mention it to his parents in Jinzhou for fear of disappointing them. Unexpectedly, even though he left the capital, Xia Chengxuan never left the matter behind and kept sending people to look for him. Eight days ago, the soldiers sent out finally found this man in a village more than 40 miles away from Boluo Temple. Mei Yuanchen wrote clearly in the portrait: he was thirty-five to forty-five years old, seven feet two or three tall, with a hunched back and unkempt face, and one of his upper teeth was missing on the right side. When the soldiers escorted him over, Xia Chengxuan took the portrait and compared it with him. It turned out to be absolutely perfect, and he was immediately imprisoned. However, he soon discovered that this man was actually a lunatic and was not sane at all, so he felt it was a pity.
Hearing these words, Mei Yuanchen trembled. After confirming that he heard correctly, he asked with eyes wide open, "Has Chengxuan found that person?"
"I found it, but" Xia Chengxuan saw his expression, and felt even more uncomfortable. He cleared his throat and continued: "Yuanchen, don't have too much hope. I have tried it many times, so He is a lunatic. He won't listen to anything he says. He just keeps there giggling, dazing, crying and howling without saying a word." He even invited the imperial doctors from the palace over to confirm that the man was It's crazy, I don't mean to be stupid.
That day in Boluo Temple, Mei Yuanchen noticed that his mind seemed a little unclear, but he didn't have time to tell Xia Chengxuan. After receiving this news at this time, I didn't feel very disappointed. I looked at Xia Chengxuan and said seriously: "Chengxuan, thank you!" If there is a person, even though you have never spoken, he is willing to spend so much energy to try to help you accomplish it. One thing, then he can definitely be called your brother!
"You are my adopted brother, my brother-in-law, and my best friend. Do you and I still need to say thank you?" Xia Chengxuan teased with curled lips.
The two have not known each other for a long time, but they have a sincere love for each other and they really agree with each other. They actually regard each other as true brothers of the opposite sex. Mei Yuanchen felt happy when he heard what he said, and nodded heavily with a smile. The moment he nodded, he couldn't help but remember what his master said when he taught him the sword technique: "Disciple, the people who harm you may not all be bad people. If he is a great good person, Will you still kill him?"
"Chengxuan treats me with the utmost affection. No matter what, he won't harm me!" Mei Yuanchen thought secretly in his heart.
"That man is locked in the cell above the house. You go and have some snacks first. I will take you there in a moment!" Xia Chengxuan came here early in the morning for this purpose. The two were chatting when they heard Xia Chengyi's urging voice coming from a distance: "Hurry up! Hurry up! Zi Teng, go faster! If he is very hungry later, it will be bad if he eats breakfast first."
Xia Chengxuan heard that it was his younger sister who had brought breakfast for Mei Yuanchen. He curled his lips and shook his head gently, sighing with a wry smile on his face: "You are really lucky. It's just that Haitang is nice to you." What's your temper, Yi? Today I can prepare some snacks for you! If you had beaten me to death before, I wouldn't have believed it!" Just as he was sighing, Xia Chengyi opened the door and came in.
"Brother, why are you here? I don't make many pastries!" Xia Chengyi put down the food box and said with disgust.
Xia Chengxuan couldn't help but get angry after hearing this! Just because he heard two meanings in his sister's words: first, the pastries in the food box were made by her; second, these pastries were for Mei Yuanchen to eat, not for his brother. I didn't care about anything for a moment, I reached out and took out a piece of pastry from the food box, and ran away quickly. "If you don't give it to me, I will rush to eat it!" As he said this, he stuffed the sticky cake on his hand into his mouth and ate it in several bites. After eating, he didn’t forget to praise: “Well, although this cake doesn’t look great, it tastes pretty good!”
Xia Chengyi was originally angry with his brother for snatching the meal that he had worked so hard to prepare for Mei Yuanchen. Now when he heard that he praised the delicious food he made, his anger instantly turned to joy, and he said with a smile: "Brother, come here. , there are quite a few here!" Then he said shyly and softly to Mei Yuanchen beside him: "I have never been in the kitchen before, and this is my first time making cakes. Come over and eat some, and see if it tastes good. Eat? If it's not done well, just tell me and I'll remember to change it next time." After saying that, he opened the lid of the box and revealed the cakes spread out inside.
"Ziteng, you damn girl, you didn't even know to remind me to put less water in it!" Looking at the shapeless pastry inside, Xia Chengyi blushed, turned around and scolded Wisteria behind him. Ziteng stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to reply, but she retorted unconvinced in her heart: "Princess, it's you who always say that the water is not sprinkled enough. I told you not to do it even after I told you to do it. Now you are blaming me." ”
Mei Yuanchen smiled, reached out and carefully took out a piece of cake from the food box, put it in his mouth and ate it. If it is as Xia Chengxuan said, this cake is soft, glutinous and sweet in the mouth, and is indeed quite delicious, but it looks a little wilted. For four whole days, he had not had a proper meal, and now he was really hungry. He ate one piece, and then took three or four more pieces in succession. Xia Chengxuan also came over politely, tore off a large piece that was stuck together and ate it.
"Haha, is it so delicious? Haha!" Xia Chengyi saw his sweetheart and brother rushing to eat the cakes he made. The joy in his heart was really indescribable. He couldn't help thinking: "How could I not know that there is so much fun in the kitchen?" !”
In less than a cup of tea, Mei Yuanchen and Xia Chengxuan devoured the cakes that Xia Chengyi and Zi Teng had been working on for more than half an hour. "Oh, Yiyi, I forgot to leave some for you." Xia Chengxuan wiped his hands and said embarrassedly. Only then did Mei Yuanchen remember that the two of her might have eaten, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Normally, Xia Chengyi would have scolded him severely, but today he replied with a sweet smile: "Haha, I'm not hungry! Just finish your meal."
