"Partial, little sister, you are so partial. You didn't treat your second brother like this when he came back..." Mu Qiulin started to "run on" Mu Qiuming as soon as he came up.

"I'm not biased? I picked you up last time you came back," Mu Qiuming defended.

Mu Qiulin smiled when he heard this and stopped entangled with Mu Qiuming. He turned to look at Mu Qiuhuang and said respectfully: "Hello, big brother."

"Yes." Mu Qiuhuang responded, and then turned his attention to Mu Qiulin.

I saw that Mu Qiulin was a little taller than before, his eyebrows were a little more determined, and his eyes looked at him with a little sincerity.

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw this, and thought to himself: "Is it true that I have changed my gender after going to the military camp for a year? Or is it that I have learned some qi-nourishing skills from Ouyang Dongqing, so that now I will

Are you disguising your emotions so that you can’t even see them?..."

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Mu Qiulin asked with a puzzled look on his face.

After Mu Qiuhuang's thoughts were interrupted, she smiled slightly, looked at Mu Qiulin and said, "I'm looking at you! You have been training in the military camp for a year, and you look a lot darker, but you have also grown taller.

I have grown a little bit stronger and am stronger than before.”

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, eldest brother. If it wasn't for eldest brother asking me to ask my father last year, I would have gone to the military camp when I had this opportunity! I still have to thank you, eldest brother." Mu Qiulin said with a smile.

Mu Qiuhuang waved her hand and said with a smile: "You and I are brothers, why should we be so polite."

…

The two of them chatted casually together for a few more words. For a moment, the two brothers acted like brothers and respected each other, and seemed really close.

"By the way, brother, your Qi Hai...?" Mu Qiulin asked casually.

Mu Qiuhuang wanted to say that he had not recovered yet, but suddenly his heart moved and he wanted to take the opportunity to test this brother, so he said: "Fortunately, I was treated by Zhang Xianren. Although it is difficult to return to the peak, I can still dance with the spear and stick.

"

"Is it true? That's great. From now on, you and I can go to the battlefield together and fight side by side..." Mu Qiulin said excitedly.

When Chuntao and Xia He heard that Mu Qiuhuang's Qihai had recovered, they also expressed joy from the bottom of their hearts.

When Mu Qiuhuang said this, his eyes were always watching Mu Qiulin's every move, not even the slightest reaction in his eyes. However, after looking around, he was still a little disappointed.

He didn't find what he wanted to see from Mu Qiulin's every move. Not only was Mu Qiulin's tone excited, but his eyes were also sincere.

"Could it be that he has really changed his gender?" Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but wonder.

However, having said that, if Mu Qiulin really changed his temper after this year's experience in the military camp, Mu Qiuhuang would naturally be happy to hear it. He is not a masochist, nor is he delusional. If brothers can coexist peacefully,

That would be perfect... However, Mu Qiuhuang still couldn't believe that a person's nature could change so quickly and completely.

…

"Brother, you said you would bring me colored stones last time, did you forget?" Mu Qiuming looked at Mu Qiuhuang expectantly.

"Stone? What stone?" Mu Qiuhuang pretended to be confused.

"Brother, you lied to me..." Mu Qiuming said aggrievedly, almost crying.

"Haha... I haven't seen you for a year, why do you still like to cry so much, little sister? Don't worry! Brother is just teasing you. How could he forget what he promised to my little sister?

Seeing that Mu Qiulin was about to cry, Mu Qiuhuang was so frightened that she quickly explained.

"Where are the stones?" Mu Qiulin stretched out her little palm.

"Little sister, it turns out that you were so kind to your elder brother just because of the stone? This way, the second brother will feel more balanced." Mu Qiulin deliberately teased.

"Brother, I don't..." Mu Qiuming said anxiously.

"Haha... don't worry! My eldest brother won't be provoked by your second brother? I'll get the stone for you right now."

As Mu Qiuhuang spoke, he put down Mu Qiuming in his arms, turned around and untied the baggage he had taken from Linghu Jie from the horse. Yes, that baggage contained exactly him. The colored stones were specially searched for Mu Qiuming along the way.

After Mu Qiuming unwrapped the package and saw the colorful stones, he broke down in tears and burst into laughter. He pecked Mu Qiuhuang on the cheek and said happily: "Thank you, brother, you are so kind."

Mu Qiuhuang was very happy to see her happy look. Perhaps only this little girl's sincere smile could make him retain a trace of softness deep in his heart, right?

…

"I've been patronizing to talk to you, but I haven't had time to say hello to my aunt yet?" Mu Qiuhuang said slightly apologetically.

"Mom heard that you are coming back today, and she is preparing your favorite food for you!" Mu Qiulin said.

"It's really troublesome for my aunt. I'll go and say hello to my aunt first!" Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.

"good."

"I will go back to Qilin Garden first without going with you..." Mu Qiulin said with a smile, turned around and left.

"Um."

After sending Mu Qiulin away, Mu Qiuhuang looked around and saw that Mu Qiuming was having fun playing with the stone he gave her.

Mu Qiuhuang was not angry at this little girl who forgot about her big brother after having the stone. She did not disturb her playing with stones. Instead, she called the housekeeper Fu Bo and asked him to take good care of Mu Qiu Ming. .

Immediately, Mu Qiuhuang and Chuntao Xiahe entered the mansion.

The three masters and servants walked together, laughing and joking. Mu Qiuhuang described to them the strange mountains and rivers along the way, and heard interesting things. They praised and exclaimed from time to time... The master and servants missed each other after not seeing each other for a year. , and also relaxed a lot in the laughter along the way.

Seeing that the three of them arrived at Baihua Garden very quickly, Mu Qiuhuang turned around and said, "Okay, you go back to Wutong Garden and wait for me! I'll go back by myself later."

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare bath water for the young master." Xia He responded softly.

"Sir, don't forget that I have prepared preserved egg and lean meat porridge for you!" Chuntao also quickly added.

"Well, wait until I go back to eat later." Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.

After watching Chuntaohe leave, Mu Qiuhuang also turned his head and looked at the gate of Baihua Garden.

There are nine pavilions and thirteen gardens in Beiyuhou Mansion. Naturally, this Baihua Garden is where Princess Changling lives.

Mu Qiuhuang did not go in directly, but stood in front of the steps with her hands tied, showing no lack of proper etiquette.

Although he has no intention of being close to Princess Changling, he can honestly say that Princess Changling has treated him quite well since he was a child. There is an old saying among the people that "it is difficult to be a stepmother", but Changling Princess Ling has persisted in her role as a princess for more than ten years without any complaints... Therefore, Mu Qiuhuang, the aunt, also has a kind of heartfelt admiration.

…

When a maid in Baihua Garden saw Mu Qiuhuang standing at the foot of the steps, she hurriedly came forward, half-crouched and saluted, and said, "Madam has told me that when the young master comes, he will wait in the middle hall directly."

That’s good.”

"Yeah." Mu Qiuhuang responded.

After leading Mu Qiuhuang into the middle hall of the inner courtyard, the little maid said respectfully: "Master, wait a moment, I will inform the madam."

"Okay." Mu Qiuhuang responded lightly and sat down on the chair in the middle hall.

Two more maids came one after another. After squatting and saluting Mu Qiuhuang, one of them served Mu Qiuhuang with a brass basin and washed her face, and the other served Mu Qiuhuang with a cup of hot tea.

The temperature of the water is quite cool, and I feel quite refreshed after washing my face. There is no need to drink the hot tea in the cup. Just smelling the aroma of the tea, I know that this is my favorite jasmine tea... In other words, Princess Changling actually gave him his

Remember your preferences clearly.

"My maid is right outside the door. I can give you any orders if you need me, sir." After the maid said respectfully to Mu Qiuhuang, she turned around and walked out of the door, leaving Mu Qiuhuang a separate space.

Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help but smile when she saw this. Princess Changling not only remembered his preferences clearly, but she also had a close understanding of his character.

However, Mu Qiuhuang didn't take it seriously. Not only because this aunt has used the past ten years to prove that she has no ill intentions towards him, but more importantly, it stems from Mu Qiuhuang's own self-confidence in her heart.

...He now has enough strength and skill to protect himself and those around him.

…

…

Without waiting too long, I had only drank half a cup of scented tea. I heard a very faint sound of footsteps coming from outside the house, followed by an extremely elegant fragrance, which lifted my spirits.

Mu Qiuhuang also stood up from the chair and looked out the door.

As expected, the person who came was none other than Princess Changling.

Princess Changling had a smile on her face and her skirt swayed slightly. She looked at Mu Qiuhuang from a distance and said, "Huang'er has been working hard all the way, so you should sit down and rest."

"Hello, aunt." Mu Qiuhuang also said hello from afar and came to the door.

After Princess Changling arrived at the door, Mu Qiuhuang bowed deeply to Princess Changling again: "I've met my aunt."

Princess Changling also had a smile on her face: "Huang'er, there is no need to be polite, this is a hard job."

"It's not hard work, it's just that I'm a little greedy after not having food and wine in the house for more than a year." Mu Qiuhuang said with a smile.

"You! You are really like Lin'er. You can endure all the hardships in the military camp, but you are the only one who is very naughty and cannot bear the slightest grievance in your stomach." Princess Changling said with a smile.

"Hehe..." Mu Qiuhuang smiled slightly.

"I have already asked the cook to cook your favorite meal. I just went to the kitchen to stare at the food... I think it won't be long before you can enjoy it." Princess Changling said with a smile.

"Thank you, auntie." Mu Qiuhuang thanked her again.

"You kid, you have been so polite since you were a child. We are all one family. Why are you always saying these words of thanks?" Princess Changling pretended to be dissatisfied.

"What my aunt taught me is, I will change it now." Mu Qiuhuang responded respectfully.

…

At this time, the meal was not ready, so Mu Qiuhuang and Princess Changling chatted in the middle hall.
