"Don't you see I'm about to taste the incense?" As he spoke, he took a spoon of incense and put the incense into the incense seal.

Murong Shu said impatiently, "Is this what I told you?" Why did you give that wooden card to Murong Jin if you had nothing to do? ”

"The fourth highness has been missing classes for three years, and Xiaguan, as his teacher, can't he find a place to read?"

"Gu Shi, don't bluff me with these reasons," Murong Shu said solemnly, "I know you have the means and the scheme, but that Murong Jin is still a ten-year-old child, don't beat his attention." ”

Gu Shi spread the incense powder evenly with an incense shovel, "He is your imperial nephew, and he has the same illness as you, you pity him." But when it comes to blood, people can be regarded as having half of the blood of the Northern Qi Emperor, and after calculating this sea of blood, he may not want to be close to you. ”

"Don't talk about this, what is in Wenyuan Tower that you want him to see?"

"If you want to say what is in this Wenyuan Building," Gu Shi gently raised the incense seal, "In my opinion, there is nothing in the Wenyuan Building, but for him, for His Royal Highness King Rui, then what is it." Besides, what do you want to check when you go to Wenyuanlou this time, that Si Le Zhang Tong also has a wooden card, why don't you go and borrow it from him? ”

"I've had some unpleasant trouble with Master Selle recently, so it's not good to be cheeky anymore."

Gu Shi carried the incense seal and smiled meaningfully: "I'm afraid that you didn't have an unpleasant quarrel with Si Le, but you had an awkward quarrel with the beauty in Yuefu." ”

"......" didn't ask why, but instead wrapped himself in.

"Huh-the lower official knows that Your Highness is so beautiful, so I don't have an idea for you. You first take advantage of the beauty not knowing your little fetish, come to coerce and lure, enter the Ruiwang Mansion first, and you will have the final say on the rest. Gu Shi raised his eyebrows very proudly as he spoke.

Murong Shu exhaled and rubbed his temples with some annoyance, "Gu Shi, can you ...... Be serious......."

"When Your Highness can be serious, when the lower officials will be serious," and hated iron not steel, "How many times have I said it, beauty is wrong, beauty is wrong!" ”

"Shut up—"

"Okay, okay, I'll shut up......" Gu Shi lit a piece of incense, and then used the incense stick to ignite the incense.

The faint scent of wood gradually spreads in the yard, elegant and heavy.

Murong Shu suddenly felt that his whole person was relaxed, and he couldn't help but say, "Your incense is not bad." ”

"Of course, this is the best Garo, this small box that I spent fifty taels to get!"

“......”

These days, although Murong Jin and Nangong Qi have not yet become acquainted, fortunately, nothing has gone wrong, and they are safe. It's just that in the morning class this day, this prince was wronged.

In class, Mr. Gu asked a question, happened to walk next to Murong Jin, and asked him to answer.

Gu Shi asked: "There are rumors in the market that 'there is a person in Qingzhou, and one person is enough', and the reward is too high to remove this strange beast." Samurai, swordsmen, women, and merchants went, and they all returned, saying, 'Kui has been removed'. After that, he never saw Kui again, and asked, who killed Kui? ”①

Murong Jin replied: "Too shou kills Kui." ”

Gu Shi asked again: "Why did Taishou kill Kui?" ”

Murong Jin replied again: "Kui Beast, it's one person." The rumor is that "there is a beast in Qingzhou, one person, and the foot is also", and he is too afraid to seize his position, so he will pass on Kui as a strange beast and get rid of it. ”

Gu Shishi laughed "Okay", and then hit the ring ruler Nangong Qi's left arm beside Murong Jin.

Murong Jin clearly felt Nangong Qi's body tremble, and a slight snort came out of his throat. But he still didn't say a word, and there was no trace of misconduct in his sitting posture.

Gu Shi didn't say what was wrong or right in this remark, and he didn't mention this topic again, and he didn't look at Murong Jin until the end of class at noon.

After class, Nangong Qi left without saying a word, leaving Murong Jin depressed. That Murong Li didn't know whether he really felt sorry for Nangong Qi or deliberately wanted to see Murong Jin's jokes, but he stepped forward to comfort and ordered to send medicine, Nangong Qi was also kind and pleasant, and he didn't shirk it, but it seemed that Murong Jin was too unkind.

Murong Yan snorted coldly, "I don't know if the eldest brother thinks that his companion is not considerate enough, but he went to recruit this prince." ”

Murong Li gave the medicine and came back to get the book, and his face suddenly became stern, "The third brother's words are a little hurtful, this palace just saw that Nangong Gongzi was wronged, and he was punished for his master, and he suffered, but that person didn't care about it." Walking up to Murong Jin again, he let out a long sigh and said, "Fourth brother, let's be careful, don't cause others to suffer again." Then he raised his sleeves and turned away.

Murong Yan came over, "Ah Jin, don't listen to him, I look at this Mr. Gu and Nangong Qi with a very strange temperament, and they deliberately target you." You don't have to take it too seriously, if he treats you so indifferently, why should you care so much. Then Mr. Gu also punished people indiscriminately regardless of right or wrong, it is not your fault. ”

"......" Murong Jin was silent for a moment before he relaxed his frowning brows, "After all, he is affected by me, so he should care about it, right?" ”

Murong Yan said: "Fortunately, in the afternoon Six Arts class, all the attendants should be gathered together to attend the class, otherwise it will be really an eyesore to see all day long." ”

"Third brother," Murong Jin gestured behind Murong Yan with his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense about this." ”

Only then did Murong Yan realize that there was Ji Ming standing behind him, and hurriedly grabbed Ji Ming's shoulder, "Ah Ming naturally knows what I said, so he won't be separated from me!" Then he patted Ji Ming's arm, "You said yes-"

That Ji Ming was originally the son of a scholar, he had been weak since he was a child, and he was pulled by Murong Yan like this, so he felt that his body was unstable, and he hurriedly said: "What His Highness said is true." ”

Murong Jin smiled: "Okay, third brother, I'll go first." ”

"Huh-" Murong Yan hurriedly stopped him, "Aren't you with me today?" ”

"I have to go to Yuefu to ask Mr. for a question today, so I can't go with the third brother, and I hope the third brother will forgive me."

Murong Yan didn't hold back any longer, just looked at Murong Jin's back and said strangely, "Didn't Ah Jin have a music class in the afternoon, why was he in such a hurry?" ”

Murong Jin went around the two palaces on the way to Yuefu, and then returned to the palace road to the Fuyue Palace.

Dongxian was puzzled: "Your Highness, why is this?" ”

“......”

Seeing that Murong Jin didn't say anything, Dong Xianfang knew that he had lost his words, so he was silent.

After returning to the Floating Moon Palace, Murong Jin and Nangong Qi had a meal together. Murong Jin didn't ask, and Nangong Qi didn't say anything, and the two adhered to the rule of "eating without saying anything".

After the meal, Murong Jin asked Dongxian to send the secret wound ointment made by the palace, and Nangong Qi said, "Thank you on my behalf, Your Highness, I can't afford to use it", and closed the door.

Note (1): 夔 (kuí)

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" records: There is Liubo Mountain in the East China Sea, which enters the sea for 7,000 miles. There is a beast on it, like an ox, with a pale body and no horns, and one foot, and if it enters and exits the water, it will be stormy, and its light is like the sun and the moon, and its sound is like thunder, and its name is called Kui. The Yellow Emperor got it, with its skin as a drum, with the bones of the thunder beast, the sound of 500 miles, to power the world.

"Han Feizi": Mourning Gong asked Confucius: "I have heard a foot, believe it?" He said, "Kui, why do people have one foot? They are no different, and they are unique. Yao said: "'One is enough.'" Make it a happy one. Therefore, the gentleman said: "There is a foot." Not one-legged either. “
