"Can you come back before curfew time?" Feng Jingruo was worried that going to the palace would delay the time.

"I asked Wei Jun to go and tell the abbot that you are resting in the palace today and going back tomorrow."

"Second Young Master......" Wei Jun didn't seem to agree with Feng Jingze's approach, and looked at Feng Jingze with a worried face.

"Huh?" Feng Jingze raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wei Jun hesitated for a while, but swallowed what he was going to say, turned around and rode away.

Feng Jingruo stood dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe that he was really going to go to the legendary heavily guarded palace with Feng Jingze.

Feng Jingze saw his sluggish appearance and said with a smile: "Tuanzi, what are you thinking?" ”

"Isn't the abbot angry?"

"It's okay, the abbot wants you to go back before the curfew, because he is afraid that you will encounter danger if you are outside for too long, but you are with me now, there will be no danger." Feng Jingze comforted.

Feng Jingruo thought about it and felt that what Feng Jingze said was very reasonable, so he put his mind at ease and followed Feng Jingze into the palace.

Coming to the palace gate, Feng Jingruo looked up and saw that the eaves on the red city wall overlapped, and the glass was continuous, which looked particularly solemn and majestic in the sun. Under the city gate were four guards with stern faces.

Feng Jingze walked over with Feng Jingruo.

"See the Second Prince." The guards knelt down in unison.

"No need to be polite, get up." Feng Jingze said, and then walked into the city gate with Feng Jingruo.

Feng Jingruo was very excited, under the city gate, he was shocked by the grace and luxury of the palace, and after entering the city gate, he was even more shocked by the luxurious buildings in the palace and was almost speechless.

The sight in front of him was completely beyond his imagination, he had never dreamed of such a magnificent building before.

"Second brother, the palace is really beautiful!" Feng Jingruo excitedly opened his arms and spun around a few times, then jumped to Feng Jingze's side and said with a smile.

Feng Jingze touched his head and said, "If you like it, stay for a few more days, and I'll take you around when the time comes." ”

When the two arrived at Feng Jingze's bedroom, Feng Jingruo had wide-eyed eyes and a surprised expression all the way, and after entering Feng Jingze's bedroom, the surprise in his eyes was self-evident.

Compared with the other little monks in Tianhe Temple, Feng Jingruo's separate wing room was already relatively high-end, but after entering Feng Jingze's dormitory, he suddenly felt that he had slept in a thatched house before......

"Wow, the second prince brought a child back."

"Yes, yes, I've never seen the second prince bring someone to the dormitory before."

"You see, the expression on the face of the second prince is so gentle, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen the second prince so gentle."

When Feng Jingze took Feng Jingruo's hand and walked into the dormitory, the maids on the side gathered together and whispered, and their eyes were all focused on Feng Jingruo's body.

"But this child is really cute, to be honest, even in this palace, I have never seen a child more cute than this child."

"yes, look at those eyes, they are round and big, they are so cute."

"And his skin, which is fairer than a girl."

Several maids said a sentence one by one, although the voice was small, but Feng Jingruo still heard it, and immediately made a big red face. He had never seen so many girls, to be precise, he had almost never seen girls, and suddenly saw so many beautiful girls, and these girls were still talking about him, Feng Jingruo suddenly had a feeling that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

He quietly moved his steps and hid behind Feng Jingze.

"Xia Cao, come here."

Feng Jingze beckoned to a maid on the side, and the maid named Xia Cao hurriedly walked over and said with a smile: "What do you have to say from the second prince?" ”

Feng Jingze raised Feng Jingruo's hand and said, "This is Ruokong, you prepare a room for him." ”

"Yes, Second Prince." Xia Cao turned around and walked inside, and looked at Feng Jingruo very gently before leaving.

Feng Jingruo's face was flushed.

Feng Jingze took him to sit down on the chair, the maid below came over and served the refreshments, Feng Jingze pushed the dim sum in front of Feng Jingruo and said, "Tuanzi, taste these dim sums, they are all sweet and glutinous pastries, you should like them." ”

Feng Jingruo took a piece of yellow and clear golden cake, took a bite, and said, "Second brother, how do you know that I like to eat sweet and glutinous things?" ”

Feng Jingze glanced at him and said with a smile: "You look quite soft and glutinous, so you should like to eat soft and glutinous things like you." ”

Feng Jingruo: "......"

He suddenly realized why Feng Jingze gave him the nickname of the ball.

Feng Jingze smiled and said, "Yes, just like you think." ”

Feng Jingruo: "...... Second brother, do you know what I'm thinking? ”

Feng Jingze smiled but did not speak.

The two were talking when footsteps were heard outside.

"The emperor has a decree."

Feng Jingze got up, Feng Jingruo quickly put down the pastry in his hand and got up as well.

"Second prince, the emperor will send you to the imperial study now." Xiao Luzi, the eunuch beside the emperor, said.

"Father summoned me to the imperial study now?" Feng Jingze looked at Xiao Luzi and said, "Father-in-law Lu, do you know what happened to my father?" ”

Xiao Luzi said with a smile: "Second prince, the emperor's mind is not easy for our family to figure out. But it shouldn't be a bad thing, I think the emperor is in a good mood. ”

"Okay, Father-in-law Lu, you wait a while, I'll go change my clothes and go right away."

"Wow." Xiao Luzi was still smiling, his eyes only fell on Feng Jingze's body, as if he didn't see the sudden extra Feng Jingruo here.

After Feng Jingze changed his clothes, he saw Feng Jingruo looking at him nervously, bent down and flicked the tip of his nose, and said: "Tuanzi, I'll go to the imperial study first, you just stay here, don't go out casually, the palace is very big, if you go out by yourself, you will get lost." ”

"Well, second brother, I won't go out."

"If you have anything to eat, you can tell them that you were brought back by me, and they will treat you as their master." Feng Jingze said again.

Feng Jingruo nodded, seeing that Feng Jingze still had to explain things to him, he hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't worry about going to the imperial study, I won't be fine." I haven't finished the pastry yet. ”

Feng Jingze saw that he was not as nervous as he was just now, so he followed Xiaoluzi out with confidence.

Feng Jingruo was actually very nervous, especially when he saw that there were so many beautiful girls here, he was even more nervous, for fear that they would come over to talk to him.

Xia Cao pursed her lips and walked over with a smile and said, "Ruokong, don't be afraid, they are just curious." ”

Feng Jingruo's face was already red at a visible rate, he had no experience in talking to girls! I don't know what to say!

Seeing that he was blushing and shy, Natsukusa stopped coming, and at the same time asked the maids who were still talking in a whisper to shut up, and she could see that this child, named Ruokong, seemed to be really afraid of contact with girls.

At this time, there was a commotion outside, Xia Cao frowned slightly, walked over and said, "Who is making a loud noise here?" ”

"Sister Xia, it's me." The person who spoke was named Li Shilai, and he was the little eunuch next to the crown prince Feng Jingmu.

Xia Cao shouted: "Li Shilai, who is your sister Xia, just call me Xia Cao." ”

Li Shilai was not annoyed when he was drunk, and said with a smile: "Sister Xia, I am here to spread the words of the prince, and the prince asked Ruokong to go over." ”

"Prince?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to see Ruokong."

Xia Cao still had a shallow smile on her face, but she had already thought about it in her heart. Ruokong is the person brought back by the second prince, it can be seen that this child's identity is extraordinary, and now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also sent someone to ask him to come over, who is this child?

The second prince specially told them to take care of this child, if the prince's men were taken away, how would they explain when the second prince came back?

Li Shilai had already opened his mouth to urge, and several thoughts flashed through Xia Cao's mind, but none of them could dispel Li Shilai's desire to take Feng Jingruo away.

She thought that it would be better to delay the time first, maybe the second prince would come back later.

"Sister Xia, you don't have to bother thinking about it, if it is empty today, we will definitely take him away, even if the second prince comes back, we will have to take him away." Li Shilai dragged the tail and said, "This is what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince meant." ”

"Li Shilai, this is the second prince's bedroom!" Xia Cao said angrily.

"Sister Xia, this is the prince's order!" Li Shilai shook off the dust and ordered the people on both sides, "Take it away." ”

The guards guarding the palace drew their swords out, quickly pressed against Li Shilai's neck, and said, "The people brought by the second prince, I see who dares to take them away." ”

"You dare to disobey the prince's orders!" Li Shilai said sharply.

"I only accept the orders of the second prince." The guard didn't retreat at all, leaned against Li Shilai's neck, looked around, and said, "Let them stand down, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

"Retreat...... Retreat...... You all step back and ......," Li Shilai said with a pale face.

"Bang bang."

After a few applause, a smiling voice came: "Yo, the people on the second brother's side are really tough." ”

Everyone was shocked, turned their heads to look, and saw the prince coming.

Feng Jingmu had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, he looked around the people here, and finally fixed his eyes on Feng Jingruo's body.

Feng Jingruo had been standing behind the table, and since Li Shilai had brought someone over and said that he was going to take him away, he knew that the events of the day still disgusted the prince.

Seeing the prince looking at him, Feng Jingruo walked over slowly and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince, I'll go with you, don't embarrass them." ”

Feng Jingmu smiled and said, "If Li Shilai and they can take you away, I really won't embarrass the people here." But obviously, if I hadn't come, they wouldn't have been able to take you away today. You say, should I let them know that the prince's order is not a joke. ”

"They're here to protect me." Feng Jingruo said eagerly, "I can make amends for them." ”

"You're going to make amends?" Feng Jingmu sneered and said, "Who do you think you are?" It's just a little monk, and I don't know what made the second brother see it, so he thought he was superior? ”

"I ...... I didn't mean that......" Feng Jingruo argued.

"You can make amends for them if you want." Feng Jingmu looked at the ground and said, "You crawl out from here and climb to the door outside, and I will spare them." ”

"Prince! I beg the prince to show mercy! When Xia Cao heard this, their faces suddenly changed, and they all knelt down and pleaded.

Feng Jingmu: "You ask for love?" That's fine, then crawl with him. ”

"What? Weren't they all brave just now? How do you get to crawl over and silence them all? Feng Jingmu looked at Xia Cao with satisfaction as they lowered their heads and closed their mouths, and sneered.

Feng Jingruo walked a few steps in front of Xia Cao and said, "Sister Xia, you don't have to intercede for me, don't you just climb over, I'll just climb the tree." ”

Saying that, Feng Jingruo knelt down, lay on the ground, and crawled out with his hands and feet.

Feng Jingmu looked at Feng Jingruo with a depressed face, he originally thought that letting Feng Jingruo crawl in front of everyone would definitely make this eight-year-old child cry in fear, but he didn't expect Feng Jingruo to be not afraid, but calm.

What he wanted was for Feng Jingruo to regret not going with him during the day, and he wanted Feng Jingruo to realize what a terrible thing it was to refuse the crown prince.

However, Feng Jingruo crawled according to his request, but he couldn't see any regret and fear on Feng Jingruo's face, but saw the stubbornness in his eyes.

From the dormitory to the gate of the courtyard, there was a cobblestone path, Feng Jingruo's hand pressed on the pebbles, and he only felt a pain in his heart.

He gritted his teeth, pressed his hands on the cobblestones, and silently recited the meditation trick in his heart, and crawled out step by step.

"Wait a minute." Feng Jingmu suddenly spoke.

Everyone thought he was going to let Feng Jingruo go, and they all looked at him with expectant looks.

Feng Jingmu said slowly: "Li Shilai, go over and lift up his pants." ”

"Prince!" Natsukusa's face changed first.

It was a cobblestone road, and it hurt enough to press your hands on it, if you put your pants up and climb directly on your knees, I am afraid that after climbing this section of the road, Feng Jingruo's knees will be useless.

"Li Shilai, what are you still doing in a daze?!" Feng Jingmu shouted loudly.

Li Shilai hurriedly ran over and grabbed Feng Jingruo's arm, and then the guards brought by the prince came over and lifted Feng Jingruo's trouser legs, revealing her white and delicate knees.

Xia Cao and the others saw Feng Jingruo's white and jade-like calves, imagining that such a smooth skin would hit the pebbles in a while, and couldn't help but shiver.

Feng Jingruo was also very scared, his palms were already faintly oozing blood, if his knees were knocked up like this, he was afraid that the flesh and blood would be blurred.

"Scared? If you're scared, you beg for mercy. Crawl up to me and beg me to spare you, and I may think about it. Feng Jingmu said proudly.

Feng Jingruo gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Seeing that he still refused to bow his head, Feng Jingmu was furious and said, "Then climb out, climb out from here!" ”
