Chapter 231

Seeing that Xue Li had no intention of getting up, she could only lift Xue Ling up from his seat with a frown, and sighed: "These are the clothes I just changed into."

Xue Ling blinked his phoenix eyes, stretched out his arms to hug her, and said softly, "Isn't this a confirmation of what my father said? Mother, you see, sooner or later your clothes will have to be taken off. "

"..." Wei Yunxue choked.

As Xue Ling spoke, he looked at Xue Li again, and gave him a thumbs up with admiration: "Father really has the foresight!"

"..." Wei Yunxue looked up at the sky speechlessly, this little flatterer who flatters him all the time!

Throwing Xue Ling into Xue Li's arms, Wei Yunxue wiped off the rice particles stuck on his face with a brocade handkerchief, and sighed: "I'll get you other clothes. If they get dirty, I won't give them to you." wore."

Xue Ling quickly acted like a good baby and nodded obediently.

Seeing Wei Yunxue push the door and walk out, Xue Ling twisted his body, raised his head and asked Xue Li: "Father, can I eat that candy?" His chubby little hand was pointing at the tall little boy next to the bed. There are a few crystal clear colored candies on the table.

Xue Li glanced at it and smiled.

Xue Ling's eyes lit up slightly.

"No." So Xue Li calmly gave a no answer in the eyes of his son's expectant eyes.

Xue Ling's mouth flattened and he asked aggrievedly: "Why can't you eat it?"

"Because it was reserved for your mother, and you already finished your portion yesterday."

"But, mother is no longer a child. Uncle Yunsheng said that only children like to eat candies."

"Oh." Xue Li replied calmly, "Your mother will always be a child in my heart."

Xue Ling sucked his fingers, but still stared at the candy and said aggrievedly: "What about me? I'm a child too."

"Oh, children can't eat too much sweets. Their teeth will be damaged and they won't be able to eat sweets anymore." Xue Li gave another reason.

Xue Ling choked.

"Okay, I won't eat sweets. Can I sleep with my mother today?"

"Of course not." Xue Li continued to refuse.

"Then why can father and mother sleep together?"

"Because she is my princess."

"Then why can't I sleep with my mother?"

"Because she is not your princess."

The child Xue Ling was successfully stunned.

"Then when can I sleep with my mother?"

"You can't do it at any time, but when you grow up and get married, you can sleep with your princess in your arms."

"But, but I want to sleep with my mother."

Xue Li's patience ran out, and he raised his narrow phoenix eyes slightly and glanced down at him: "I can satisfy your wish to go to the snow and sleep with the snowman you made."

Child Xue Ling shrugged his head in grievance: "...Father knows how to bully children."

"Yes." Xue Li said in a tone of not being ashamed but proud, and touched his little head happily: "It's good that you know."

Xue Ling suddenly pursed his lips and muttered angrily: "My father always said before that you can't have your cake and eat it too. Why is it that when you come here, you can't have your cake and eat it too? Alas, The child is really pitiful. My father doesn’t care for me and my mother doesn’t love me. I’m such a pitiful little cabbage.”

Xue Li listened to the fragmentary thoughts in his mouth, and a pair of slanting phoenix eyes were suddenly filled with a slight smile.

Wei Yunxue had already taken her clothes back. She was still unaware of the "undercurrents" between her son and her husband in just a few moments. She just looked at Xue Ling's even melancholy look, and couldn't help but feel a little curious. .

"Mother, I think I have to change my name." Xue Ling let her put on his coat, raised his head and said to her seriously.

"Ah?" Wei Yunxue stopped what she was doing and looked at him with a puzzled look on her face: "Why?"

Xue Ling did not answer, but pouted and asked: "Why did mother name me Xiaodou Bao?"

Wei Yunxue thought for a while and said, "The little bean buns sound so cute, and they are cheap and delicious."

"No, mother, you can't think like this, you have to be realistic." Xue Ling clasped his little hands behind his back and shook his head with a deep expression: "Based on the current situation, I think I should change my name to Xiao Baicai. "

What does it mean to follow the current situation?So what is the current situation?Wei Yunxue looked at Xue Ling in confusion, and then at Xue Li who was holding him. However, the latter just squinted his eyes with a half-smile, as if he didn't intend to answer her questions.

Blinking blankly, Wei Yunxue turned his eyes back to Xue Ling: "Uh... Xiaobaicai?"

"Yes." Xue Ling nodded solemnly.

"Why Xiaobaicai?" Wei Yunxue was confused.

"Mother is so stupid, of course it's because only baby cabbage is a no-brainer." Xue Ling looked at her deeply, sighed in a sweet voice, and looked like a mother-in-law. Why do you look so stupid?

Wei Yunxue: "...ah?"

Why did fish and bear paws come out after the baby cabbage was finished?Wei Yunxue, a monk who was two feet tall, was confused.

"Forget it, forget it, mother, you don't understand. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going out to play." Xue Ling shook his head pretending to be mature, jumped off the bed, and jumped out of the door. He ran away, not forgetting to turn around and make a face at her, and added with a smile: "But it doesn't matter if you are stupid, mother. Father and I are smart enough."

Wei Yunxue: "..."

Well, she was despised by her own son.

The threshold of the small courtyard is a bit high. Xue Ling is already a small one at his age. In addition, the clothes he wears in winter are thick and heavy, so it is not easy to move his legs. If he is not careful, he will be like a skeleton. rolled down the threshold.

Before he could get up, a pair of slender white hands reached under his arms and gently picked him up from the ground.

Xue Ling let out a sigh, then raised his head: "Huh? It's Captain Mu. Thank you Captain Mu."

Mu Shuling patted the ice crystals and snow on his clothes and smiled: "Your Highness, you are welcome."

"Does Lieutenant Mu have something to do with my father?" Xue Ling looked at Mu Shuling who happened to appear at the entrance of the small courtyard and asked with some confusion.

"I'm not looking for the prince, I'm looking for you, the young prince." Mu Shuling smiled and shook his head. Suddenly he took out a bunch of red candied haws from nowhere, bent down and handed them to him: "Just now and a group of soldiers When I was patrolling the city, I happened to see a vendor selling candied haws on the street. Thinking that the young prince likes to eat them, I bought a bunch back."

"Eh? Tanghulu, thank you Captain Mu." Xue Ling took it in a good-natured manner.

"I heard from the prince that the young prince likes eating candied haws from Mingyue City the most." Mu Shuling added with a smile.

Xue Ling blinked, and suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously, saying: "That's not true. Captain Mu, you don't know. This candied haws is my mother's favorite food, but my father doesn't allow her to eat more, so my mother will Use me as an excuse."

Mu Shuling's smile faded.

Xue Ling pretended not to see it and waved his little hand: "But I still have to thank Captain Mu for his kindness."

Mu Shuling smiled faintly and said, "Your Highness, you are welcome."

Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Xue Ling retracted her short legs that she had just stepped out. Well...if he left her here, she wouldn't go in and disturb the tenderness of her father and mother, would she?
"Does Captain Mu seem to have something on his mind?" Xue Ling raised his little head and looked at her with a smile and asked.

Mu Shuling was a little surprised by his sudden question.

"If Captain Mu doesn't mind, you can tell me. Although I can't help you much, my father is very smart and I can definitely help." Xue Ling clapped his little hands on his chest and vowed. The way.

Mu Shuling didn't know what he was thinking of. He just lowered his eyes and shook his head, and said softly: "It's not that I have something on my mind, but there is something that has been buried deep in my heart. When I saw you, the Crown Prince, today, I suddenly thought of it."

"Oh? I still don't know what Colonel Mu is talking about?"

"Your Highness, does he know why the prince gave you such a name?"

"My name?" Xue Ling tilted his head and thought for a while. There shouldn't be anything special about his name, right?

"Well, why are you named Ling, Your Highness?" Mu Shuling looked at him with burning eyes, and there was a fiery element in his eyes that he could not understand.

Although Xue Ling didn't understand what the dazzling light in Mu Shuling's eyes was, he had always been a kid and had a very clever mind, and he could roughly guess what she wanted to express.

"Colonel Mu won't say it's because of himself, right?" he asked incredulously.

Mu Shuling stared at him unchanged, but her eyes flickered slightly.

"Alas -" Xue Ling let out a long sigh, then patted her hand gently and said seriously: "Colonel Mu really overthought it. My father named me Ling. It was purely because of Because I was born in Guangling City and have nothing to do with others. If I were born in Mingyue City, according to my father's temperament, I would definitely be named Xue Mingyue."

Speaking of which, I really have to thank Guangling City for its mild climate all year round, which is suitable for my mother to raise a baby. At least the name Xue Ling sounds much better than Xue Mingyue. Thinking of this, the child Xue Ling really feels a lot of emotion.

"I feel ashamed to say it. If my name gave Captain Mu the illusion that my father was interested in you, then it would really be Xue Ling's fault." Xue Ling made a look of guilt, " But Captain Mu, please don’t feel troubled. Don’t worry, my father has always been the only one in the eyes of my mother. He can’t even look down on me, his own son, let alone an outsider like you, Captain Mu.”

Xue Ling didn't give her any chance to speak. He just opened his eyes and looked at her sincerely: "I know that Captain Mu, you are in your prime years. You are one of the best in appearance and family background. Whether you are in Mingyue City or In the imperial capital, there must be a lot of children from aristocratic families who admire you, but you must rest assured that my father is definitely not included among them. I know it is not good to have a superior who has thoughts about his subordinates. Fortunately, my father is not like this. You man, I dare to guarantee you this as my young prince."

"Eh? Captain Mu, why are you leaving? I haven't finished speaking yet..."

After Mu Shuling's figure disappeared around the corner, Xue Ling casually stuffed the candied haws in his hand into Lin Yi's hand who was standing behind him, hummed a nursery rhyme and walked forward.

Huh, what a bad woman, she actually wants to come with his mother to steal his father. Huh, he doesn't agree.

Lin Yi held the bunch of red candied haws in his hands and hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty, you don't want any of the candied haws?"

"Give it to you." Xue Ling waved his little hand without looking back, "It's yours now."

Lin Yi was confused: "...Well, doesn't the prince like to eat candied haws the most?" Why not only did he give the candied haws to him today, but he even made the excuse that the princess likes to eat candied haws?

Alas, Xue Ling sighed heavily again, and the young man shook his head maturely, why are the two of them so stupid?It's really sad.

The sky in the distance became gloomier. It seemed like it was another heavy snowfall. Mingyue City always had more snowy days than the Imperial City. Wei Yunxue was used to covering herself with a small blanket on snowy days and lazily nestled in the window. The small-leaf red sandalwood beauty slumped down on the side, drinking hot tea and looking at the vast snow scene outside the window.

It's rare that Xue Li didn't go out today, Wei Yunxue glanced at him lazily, raised her hand to pour a cup of tea and handed it to him, and said with a smile: "It's snowing tonight, can you have a cup?"

Xue Li dusted his sleeves gracefully, sat down opposite her, then reached out to take the cup of hot tea, and said with a half-smile: "Madam, don't you think snow and sake are more artistic together? ?”

"Don't." Wei Yunxue rested his chin, drank the hot tea in his hand one after another, and said lazily, "It's not like you don't know how much I drink, so you just pour one cup."

Xue Li smiled casually, but didn't answer, just raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and in just a moment, Lin Yi quickly filled up the warm wine pot, stove cup and other things.

Xue Li warmed the wine pot, took out a sky-blue wine glass, and placed it on the table.

Wei Yunxue yawned, pulled the small blanket covering her body, tilted her head to watch his movements, and raised her eyebrows: "You want to drink?"

Xue Li poured the wine slowly: "A few days ago, Zhou Yi sent someone to deliver two jars of baby wine, but he didn't have time to open them. It's rare to have nothing to do today, and it coincides with the snowy sky. Why don't we try it together, madam?"

Wei Yunxue was a little moved when she heard what he said. She heard that this baby drunken drink is a specialty of Yongye City. It has a sweet taste and endless aftertaste. It is brewed from flowers and fruits, and its stamina is not very strong.

While talking, Xue Li had already warmed up the wine. Seeing her eagerness to try, he chuckled and poured half a glass for her.

Wei Yunxue took a sip and narrowed her eyes as if savoring it.

"How?" Xue Li asked.

"Well, it tastes pretty good as expected."

Xue Li smiled and filled it up for her again: "It's good to drink some wine on a snowy day, it can drive away the cold."

Wei Yunxue tasted it slowly, not daring to drink it too hastily. She was very aware of her own weight.

Xue Li didn't drink very fast, but he drank several glasses of wine in a short time. Seeing that Xue Li opened another jar of wine calmly, Wei Yunxue couldn't help but ask: "A Li, how much can you drink?" How many are there?"

Xue Li didn't answer, just held his forehead and smiled: "What do you think, madam?"

Wei Yunxue groaned and said nothing.
