Fortune tellers give eggs, the stepmother is a Taoist boss

Chapter 129 Please sleep with me
Seeing the birds sleeping soundly, Bai Muxing pursed his lips with a sweet smile and said with emotion: "Nine out of ten things in the world are not perfect. If you can get what you want in a dream, it may not be a good thing."

Chi Xinsu stared fixedly at somewhere in the void, seeming to be thinking and yet in a daze.

After a while, he tilted his head and asked calmly: "Is it harmful to others to create dreams with mirage?"

Bai Muxing shook his head: "No, just sleep like usual."

She wasn't entirely lying. Being in a mirage dream was indeed like sleeping on ordinary days, but whether she woke up or not was another matter.

"Furthermore, mirage also has the characteristic of being able to pull others into dreams together. In Yue Zhi, when lovers are separated in two places, they often rely on mirage to meet each other in dreams to relieve the pain of missing each other."

As he spoke, Bai Muxing winked playfully: "Your Highness, don't you think this is very romantic?"

Before Chi Xinsu had time to answer, Chi Dongchuan opened the door curtain of Nuan Pavilion and strode in.

"It's so hard to find medicine for birds." After complaining, he turned to Bai Muxing and said, "Su Menglong said he was tired and was waiting for you at Qingshui Courtyard."

Bai Muxing understood that Su Menglong didn't want to come back to face Chi Xinsu, so he found an excuse to let her go to him. Her goal was achieved, so he nodded and thanked Chi Dongchuan.

Before she left, she deliberately said: "The bird is still sleeping soundly... Otherwise, Your Highness, I will give this to you, and please take care of the little bird."

Chi Xinsu glanced at the mirage she placed next to the cushion and was noncommittal. Chi Dongchuan was happy to see it. His younger brother had been cold all day, and he might be more popular if he had a living creature to amuse him.

Chi Dongchuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Prince Xin's Mansion can still treat a bird badly."

"Then I'll take my leave first." Bai Muxing bowed politely and then exited the Nuan Pavilion and headed towards Qingshui Courtyard.

Seeing her graceful figure disappear slowly, Chi Dongchuan raised his eyebrows: "Su Menglong is not a very good person, but he has good taste."

It's rare for a woman to be in the same room with Chi Xinsu for so long. It seems that this woman is extraordinary.

Chi Xinsu raised his eyelids and glanced at Chi Dongchuan, and said calmly: "You are the opposite of him."

Chi Dongchuan:?

Chi Xinsu: "If your eyes don't work well, go to the imperial doctor to see if you can prevent others from saying that the new Emperor Shun is blind."

After that, he flicked the fly whisk and walked out of the Nuan Pavilion without looking back, without giving Chi Dongchuan a chance to reply.

Chi Dongchuan was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and chuckled.

Unexpectedly, my younger brother still has a arrogant personality, a vicious mouth and a soft heart. He is so... so cute!

After smacking Chi Xinsu's words for a long time, having satisfied his addiction to being an older brother, Chi Dongchuan happily shouted: "Come here!"

Nuange immediately flashed into several dark figures, which were King Duan's shadow guards.

Chi Dongchuan pointed to the bird on the cushion and said, "Get a doctor to take a look at it. This is the bird of His Highness King Xin. There must be no mistakes."

The Shadow Guard has always been responsible for secretly dealing with people who shouldn't exist for King Duan, killing them without burying them. This was the first time he received such an incredible task, and he didn't react for a while.

The leading shadow guard spoke for the first time and repeated the instructions he received: "Give the bird... a doctor?"

His tone that was close to suspicion was supposed to be disrespectful, but Chi Dongchuan, who was in a happy mood, didn't mind. He even patiently repeated: "Well, find a doctor... ah no, let's find the imperial doctor."

Shadow Guard: "...Yes."

After leaving the Nuan Pavilion, Chi Xinsu walked slowly under the eaves. On both sides were jade trees, carved by ice and snow. The picturesque scenery did not catch his eyes at all. When he met the guests in the conservatory along the way and saluted him, he just nodded slightly. The whole person seems to be separated from the body, floating like a wandering soul.

He seemed to be walking around the mansion without any purpose. After winding around for a long time, he finally came to the flower hall.The flower hall is located in the northwest corner of the courtyard. Looking out from the carved wooden railing window, you can see a lake and a small pavilion beside the lake.

The two people in the pavilion had finished feeding the fish. Jiang Fuyuan was lying on the railing and looking intently at the water. She seemed puzzled why the fish just refused to eat after so much bait had been spread. Zhong Liefeng was standing next to her. , saying something with a smile.

Seeing the two people's intimacy, Chi Xinsu couldn't help but clench his hands into fists hidden in his big sleeves. His palm was hit by a hard object before he closed his eyes and ordered: "Go and invite Mu Xiangu and General Zhong. Huating, just say it’s cold, and Huating has prepared tea to ward off the cold.”

The Taoist waiter said something, then turned around and went to the lakeside pavilion to invite someone.

During the break, the servants brought tea and snacks, and Chi Xinsu sat by the window and half-closed his eyes looking at the mirage in his palm.

Maybe Bai Muxing really was also a son of Dao, and he was indeed sent to Yuezhi to get married, but none of this could be the reason for him to trust her completely.

Whether this mirage is really harmless, he needs to find someone to try it.

Zhong Liefeng is a very good candidate.

As his thoughts were spinning, footsteps came from outside the flower hall.Jiang Fuyuan walked in front, and Zhong Liefeng was only half a step away from her side, just in time to shield her from the biting north wind.

Chi Xinsu gathered his thoughts and said with a smile as usual: "Cizhan, I know you like hibiscus and taro paste cakes, so I asked the cook to make more. You can try whether what he makes suits your taste."

Jiang Fuyuan hummed, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of the hibiscus and taro paste on the table and put it into his mouth. The smooth taro paste mixed with the fragrant milk flavor filled his mouth.

"It's delicious!" She narrowed her bright eyes with a smile, turned around and handed the remaining pastries to Zhong Lianfeng's lips, "Try it, the chef of the Asu family is really good, it's exactly the same as what we ate at Bazhenzhai .”

Zhong Lianfeng raised his eyes and looked at Chi Xinsu, whose smile was frozen. He responded softly, then slowly opened his mouth and took the pastry held in his green-white fingers into his mouth.

His lips inevitably touched Jiang Fuyuan's fingertips, and the light in Chi Xinsu's eyes dimmed instantly.

As if he was tasting some delicacies, Zhong Liefeng chewed the pastry carefully, and after a while he swallowed the pastry. He smiled and said, "King Xin is really rich. It's really enviable to be able to hire such a good cook."

Chi Xinsu:......

Is he showing off in a weird way?right?right?
I'm so angry. I just fed you a piece of pastry. What are you talking about?
Resisting the urge to hit him, Chi Xinsu looked away from him. He only walked to the table and said, "You will inevitably be thirsty after just eating pastries. Let's have a cup of tea."

"Okay." Jiang Fuyuan patted the pastry crumbs on his hand, walked over and found a seat to sit down casually, "What kind of tea is this? It smells good."

"Milk tea, with jasmine slices added." Chi Xinsu poured a cup for Jiang Fuyuan with his own hands, "Try it, it can also ward off the cold."

After pouring the tea, he was about to sit down next to Jiang Fuyuan when a strong and powerful hand stretched out, just between him and Jiang Fuyuan, blocking his move to sit down.

Zhong Lianfeng's expression remained unchanged as he gently brushed Jiang Fuyuan's shoulder twice and said, "Although the snow scenery in Prince Xin's Mansion is beautiful, it's a bit freezing."

Jiang Fuyuan thought he was helping her dust away the remaining snow, so she raised her hand and pulled him to sit down.

"It's just a little snowflake. It will melt in a moment." She pushed the tea cup towards Zhong Lianfeng, "You should try it too, it's quite delicious."

Without waiting for Zhong Lianfeng to pick up the cup, Chi Xinsu quickly took out a new empty cup, quickly filled it with a cup of steaming milk tea and said: "General Zhong should drink more hot tea to dispel the cold. After all, Ci Zhan doesn't even feel it. It's cold, you feel frozen, you must be weak, right?"

Zhong Lianfeng: "Oh, after all, he is physically stronger than some Taoist priests who always stay indoors."

The two were arguing with each other as usual, and no one noticed that a small piece of jade slipped silently from Chi Xinsu's hand into the folds of Zhong Lianfeng's robe.
