Chapter 259: Trivialities of Life
The eunuch stood at the back, adding some tea from time to time, his eyes smiling into crescent shapes, obviously looking very happy.
"Old man, you have stood behind me all your life, sit down and take a rest."
"This is not the imperial palace, and there are no outsiders here. You don't have to follow those rules."
"Oh, the emperor loves me, I know that there is no order without rules, I will still stand and serve you."
Mr. Huang stared at him and scolded him with a smile: "Look at how useless you are. You can't even enjoy the good life when I ask you to."
"Hurry up, sit down and drink some tea with me."
The eldest eunuch hurriedly let out a sigh, found a small stool and sat next to the emperor. Mr. Huang personally poured him a cup of tea.
"Try your favorite Heavenly Mist Tea."
The small courtyard near the sacred mountain was bustling with people, and it was not until the end of the day that the smoke from the kitchen began to drift out.
Xia Yunle and his wife watched Ning Bao's boudoir being decorated before leaving the nanny to look after her. They first went back to the room to wash up before going to the front yard to eat.
There were a lot of people at the dinner table alone. There were the Xia family with their little grandchildren, the Xi family of three, the He family, and He Didi, and the rest were the village head.
Since there was not enough space in the house, the table was placed directly in the yard, just in a position to see the direction of Dashen Mountain.
Mr. Huang smiled and said, "The fruit trees on this sacred mountain are really nice. It's a pity that we missed the flowering season. Otherwise, it would be very comfortable to heat up a pot of wine and compose poems with a few good friends."
The village head nodded and said, "Mr. Huang is right. The village makes a lot of money when the fruit trees are in bloom."
"When the fruits are ripe, it will be very lively. Many young ladies and young masters will go out and pick fruits to make fruit tea."
"In recent years, there have been more and more wild animals on the sacred mountain. If you are good at martial arts, you can catch some game, spend some money to rent a barbecue stove, and eat some barbecue with your companions. It is also a unique flavor."
Everyone was unconsciously attracted by what he said, and they began to think about it.
The boys are at their most naughty in summer. They knew not to cause trouble to their elders on the road, so they had not been making any noise. But now they could not help themselves.
"Grandpa and grandma, can we ask the guards to go hunting with us?"
"Your most beloved grandson has never been so majestic."
"The Master said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling a thousand miles. As a junior in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, you should gain more experience."
"Is it okay~~~Grandfather~~~"
"Is it okay~~~Grandma~~~"
Several children really wanted to go and catch pheasants and rabbits. At this time, their grandfather refused to eat and was making a lot of noise.
Xia Yunle was worried that his wife might get dizzy from the shaking, so he quickly reached out to support her and said, "Okay, okay, stop shaking your grandmother."
"You can go up the mountain if you want, but you have to listen to the guards and not run around in the mountain. Do you understand?"
“Yeah~~~~”
"Okay, okay~~~"
"Grandpa and grandma are the best. They are the nicest people in the world."
Seeing them having fun, Master Huang rolled his eyes and said, "I will go too, to see the sacred mountain and see what's inside."
Everyone:······
"If Mr. Huang really wants to see it, he can just walk around the foot of the mountain. After all, Shenshan is really a deep forest with countless snakes, insects, rats and ants."
"There are still many places that humans have not yet reached, and there is no telling what dangers there are."
"Mr. Huang, you can't go. Why don't you enjoy the scenery in the pavilion?" The village head was frightened and kept persuading him.
I am worried that the person in front of me will be unable to get over it and will insist on entering the sacred mountain.
This is like putting the lives of the entire village at risk. We can’t afford to take this risk.
Mr. Huang: ! !
I'm so angry. I've already left the palace, but I still can't do these things and those things. What's the difference between this and being imprisoned in the palace?
The new emperor, who was busy reviewing memorials in the palace, sneezed several times.
"Who is talking about me? It must be my father who is worried about me, eh~~~"
"No, no, I must live up to my father's teachings and work harder and harder to govern the country."
He was holding the rice bowl and angrily facing away from everyone, obviously looking angry.
"No, I left the palace just for fun. Now I'm so old, who knows how long I can live."
"I just want to go to the mountains to play. No one is allowed to stop me, otherwise..."
"otherwise···"
"I will secretly go to the sacred mountain to play when you are not paying attention!" He said it with a smug look on his face, and it didn't seem like he was lying.
Everyone:······
It's so helpless. If this person starts to make trouble, I really can't control him.
Xi Zhiyi said: "Then let me go with you, and I can also protect Mr. Huang's safety."
"It's a good time to go to the sacred mountain. Remember that Dabai and Xiaobai were born here. I'll take my sister Ning'er to the mountain to breathe some fresh air."
"Okay, okay, since you have a conscience, I'll let you go with me."
"Don't worry, I'm a very well-behaved person and I won't run around."
The matter of going up the mountain was finalized, and the village head and others had nothing more to say. They just wanted the villagers working in the fields to pay more attention.
If you hear a cry for help, come back quickly to report it.
That night, after the crowd dispersed, Mrs. He and Yan'er came to the house to see Xia Yining as usual. When they wiped her cheek, they saw her eyelashes tremble.
Yan Er:!!!
He covered his mouth in surprise and pulled Mrs. He hard to let her look.
"This... it's really the right decision to come back to Xiaotian Village. The reaction is much better than in Shengjing City."
"It seems that this sacred mountain is really Ning Bao's root. The closer we are to the sacred mountain, the better the effect will be."
Mrs. He was also surprised. She shed tears but tried to stop herself from crying, and nodded vigorously.
"You're right. When we have time today, let the man at home make a small cart and push her to the foot of the mountain for a walk when we have nothing to do."
"This is not Shengjing City. Even if the villagers meet us, they won't gossip about us."
"Maybe everyone will scramble to push Ning'er to share in the blessing."
A houseplate has been hung on the courtyard, and it is the same as the one in Shengjing City, called Liuli Pavilion.
People outside didn't know what happened inside, and Yan'er and He Pozi wanted to wait until the person really woke up before saying anything.
To prevent them from being disappointed, after all, there have been several such incidents in Shengjing City.
Under their gazes, Xia Yining simply turned over and continued to sleep. The entire Zuo Xiang Mansion went crazy at that time.
Everyone thought she would wake up, and in the end...
The night was getting darker and darker. The lights in the small courtyard were turned off and it was pitch black everywhere. There were some unusual movements coming from the sacred mountain not far away.
Many animals came from all directions and sat quietly on the edge of the sacred mountain, looking towards the direction of the He family courtyard.
Since the beginning of the day, they have been attracted by an inexplicable feeling that guided them here, as if there was the aura of some powerful force.
