Spring Forest Evening

"Okay, I remember," Zhou Heng leaned on his shoulder and responded softly: "You too, you must remember to protect yourself when the time comes. Firewood, don’t you think so?”

Everyone understands the truth, but at that moment, it is impossible to predict what will happen suddenly, but now I have tried my best to prepare, whether it is a blessing or a curse, Shen Fu decided to leave it to God.

Anyway, since God sent Ah Heng to her side, then...even if she doesn't help herself, at least she will protect Ah Heng well, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Fu took a wonton again and ate it slowly, in order to conceal the faint trace of panic in his heart.

And Zhou Heng, leaning on Shen Fu's shoulder for a while, suddenly smiled and asked:

"Ah Fu, tell me, if I regret it now, will there be time?"

"That would be the best." Shen Fu replied without thinking.

"I'm joking with you," Zhou Heng actually sensed his silence, and wanted to tease him: "Don't worry, after tomorrow night, I will be able to boast to others that I have gone through the storm!"

Shen Fu smiled at this, no longer refuted, only advised her:

"Then tonight is our Mid-Autumn Festival night. Thank you for helping me make such delicious wontons with dipping sauce. Oh yes, there are also mooncakes. If someone brings a jug of wine, you can also drink with me, okay?"

Zhou Heng naturally agreed, and for this reason he also proposed:

"Then let's go to the yard to drink later, and have a drink under the moon."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Shen Fu responded with a smile, and the trace of emotion in his heart slowly dissipated.

Then Shen Fu sent Chuntao to Nanny Shen, asked her to bring a bottle of good wine in the cellar, and let Chuntao warm up in the small kitchen. Taking advantage of this time, according to Zhou Heng's intention, he took the Luohan bed I put the thin quilt and pillow on the grass under the Albizia julibrissin tree, and lit incense beside it to repel mosquitoes.

When Zhou Heng drove Chuntao back to the back room and came out with mooncakes and wine pot, Shen Fu was already sitting on the grass and waiting for her with a smile.

"Oh, the moonlight tonight is so beautiful!" Zhou Heng handed the tray to Shen Fu who got up, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky and praised.

Then he bowed his head and asked Shen Fu: "A Fu, we can go to the northwest in the future, and we don't need to bring anything else, but we have to bring the painting you painted for me before."

That painting naturally refers to Shen Fu's previous painting "Lotus Appreciation under the Moon", and later Zhou Heng stamped the "cycle and repeat" seal. Shen Fu carefully placed the tray on the thin quilt, and then stretched out his hand:

"it is good!"

Zhou Heng was pulled by him to sit next to him, and then he felt that it was not enough, and he lay on the quilt with his pillow on Shen Fu's thigh, looked up at the bright moon, and said very contentedly:

"Honey, happy Mid-Autumn Festival!"

I almost wanted to say the famous sentence of the ages, "I hope people will last forever", but it was followed by "a thousand miles of beauty", which seemed to mean the separation of the two places, so let's not talk about it.

Hearing this, Shen Fu lowered his head and caressed her smooth face, and replied:

"Aheng, with you by my side, my heart is extremely happy!"

"Oh, Ah Fu, you are getting more and more talkative, is it because you ate the mooncakes I made?" Zhou Heng felt sweet when he heard that, mooncakes in this era are all sweet, and he was proposing to make them during the day When making ham mooncakes, seeing the hesitant expression on the face of Madam Shen next to her, she chose to give up sensibly. Now that I think about it, I am glad that mooncakes are not like other foods, and their meaning is far greater than their taste.

And Shen Fu is also very supportive, now Zhou Heng is very familiar with his eating habits, knowing that he doesn't like sweets, but now he can insist on eating the whole sweet mooncake in small bites, because it is his own I made it with my own hands. Fortunately, I heard from Nanny Shen that it is auspicious to eat mooncakes, and it is generally not advocated to break the mooncakes into two halves. Zhou Heng used the smallest mold for the mooncakes.

Even so, Shen Fu poured himself a glass of wine and drank it down after eating a mooncake. Zhou Heng looked up and giggled:

"Drink slowly, Mammy forgot to take down the food and drink!"

After hearing this, Shen Fu poured her a small cup too:

"Get up and have a drink with me."

...

Zhou Heng felt that he didn't drink much, but later, he found that he was looking up at the moon, but the moon was a little dazzlingly bright, so he leaned in Shen Fu's arms and told him in a daze:

"Ah Fu, let's go back and rest early, we need to sleep well tonight, especially you..."

"Okay, let's go back now." Shen Fu's voice still sounded gentle and powerful, and in a blink of an eye, his hands were as steady and strong as usual. Zhou Heng put his arms around his neck and said with a smile:

"Ah Fu, I seem to be a little drunk and feel dizzy. If you oversleep tomorrow morning, you must remember to wake me up!"

Shen Fu looked down at her tenderly:

"It's okay, that wine is a health wine, just enough to have a good sleep tonight."

In this way, there was nothing to say all night. When Zhou Heng woke up the next day, he found that the sun was already high, and there was no one beside Shen Fu. question:

"What time is it now? Where is the prince? Did you see when he left?"

"Hmm... It's been a long time," Chuntao thought for a moment with her head up indifferently, "My lord told the servants not to wake you up, and said to sleep with you."

"What else did the lord say?" Zhou Heng continued to ask while putting on his clothes and shoes nimbly.

"My lord also said," Chuntao said with a smile while she was helping, "Sister Chunyu will come over later, Miss Biao, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, is my lord going to take you somewhere nice?"

This time the little girl refrained from mentioning that she wanted to follow, Zhou Heng naturally didn't explain to her, and said something vague:

"Wait until I go to the outer courtyard, you don't have to follow me today, um, tonight... We will be back very late, you don't need to worry about us, go to sleep first."

Seeing the little girl ignorantly responding, Zhou Heng saw that she looked happy, just as happy as himself in the 21st century when he went out to do errands and went shopping for a while, and couldn't help smiling in his heart. Tired, not to mention today is a holiday.

In a blink of an eye, he remembered again, tonight...Maybe Shen Fu and I will not be able to come back until very late, right?

Maybe he won't even be back until tomorrow morning?Didn't Ah Fu say that the palace gates open and close at fixed times every day, and if there is no major event, the palace gates will close at the appointed time.

Then, when the palace gate reopens tomorrow morning, what kind of posture will I and A Fu walk out of the palace?

And what will it be like in that palace that I have never seen before?
