Chapter 132: A Warning for a Teenager
"Phew, don't guess." Shizi raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Ling, bowed his head to drink tea silently, and said after a while, "It's my parents who want to take me to meet an old friend of his, and I don't follow." ”
He thought for a moment, "As for how it alarmed the officers and soldiers, I don't know." ”
"What kind of elder?" Bai Ling asked curiously.
Shizi raised his eyebrows slightly, "...... Why do you care so much, it's none of your business to ask questions. ”
"Why is it none of my business, I helped you hide just now, I don't ask clearly, what if you are a prisoner?" Bai Ling's arms were folded and placed on the table casually, "Besides, you are a royal guard, and you are not a relative of the emperor, let me ask what's wrong?" ”
Shizi choked on a mouthful of water and scratched his head, "There's nothing to say, my father wants to take me to meet my childhood archery master." ”
Bai Ling's heart moved slightly, "Your master? ”
"Well, he just came back."
At this time, the store brought two plates of edamame, which was regarded as a pre-dinner snack. Shizi asked for a basin of hot water to wash his hands, and ate directly with his bare hands, looking hungry.
"Slow down." Bai Ling said again, what seemed to be the most she had said to the boy.
As soon as the young man's conversation box was opened, he couldn't close it, and he breathed a few sighs of relief, "My master is very powerful, but it's too strict, I'm a little afraid of him, so I found a chance to run out halfway......"
In just a moment, Shizi has already peeled a small half bowl of edamame,
"My dad is probably ......choking on his anger at this time," he said softly, but there was no worry or fear between his eyebrows, "I guess when I go back at night, I will have to be punished for kneeling." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the edamame and swallowed it in one gulp, munching on it.
Bai Ling's throat tightened, and he poured a glass of water and pushed it over.
“…… You really eat slowly, no one will rob you. ”
The young man wiped his mouth, ignoring Bai Ling's concern, he pointed to the bowl with edamame in front of Bai Ling, "You don't eat?" ”
Bai Ling nodded, "Well, I want to keep my stomach and eat the crab soup in the back." ”
"Okay." The young man directly stretched out his hands, brought the bowl in front of Bai Ling, and then began to peel the skin.
Bai Ling propped his face with both hands, and watched the young man eat without saying a word.
From time to time, the boy's afterglow swept over, and when his eyes met, Bai Ling smiled.
The young man's mouth was stuffed with something, and he waved his hand to Bai Ling, "Don't be surprised, I usually don't have anything to eat at home." It's hard to get out of the house with no one around like today. ”
"Why?" Bai Ling blinked, "You don't look like you're from a poor family." ”
"Eh, you don't understand, it's not that a poor family is better than a poor family," Shizi took a big sip of the water cup, "My father is a vegetarian, and he is reluctant to put more salt in the dish, so my mouth is light at home." ”
Bai Ling's eyebrows moved slightly, as if he was a little surprised, "Then your father is quite religious." ”
Shizi took a long breath, two bowls of edamame went down, he felt that his appetite had just opened, and he was a lot more comfortable, he looked up at Bai Ling, "I didn't learn it from my grandfather, my father is a filial son, and he will follow whatever my grandfather does." ”
"I don't want to be like them," the corner of Shizi's mouth hooked slightly, "If you don't eat meat, where do you get the strength, if you don't let me eat it, I'll eat it secretly, anyway, there will always be a chance to slip out." ”
Bai Ling laughed, "You're rebellious." ”
“?” Shizi glanced at the girl in front of him strangely, not understanding what she was saying.
But honestly, it does feel good about this conversation. If it had been placed in the past, he hadn't finished his first sentence, and others would have followed the words "The prince is all for the good of the world", and his ears were calloused.
Boling is a very good listener, and in fact it is the watchman of all consultants.
She knows the use of silence better than anyone else, and when the boy speaks, she rarely interrupts, but when she hears a logical jump, she asks a question at the right time. So even though Shizi was talking most of the time, he didn't notice it.
Before he knew it, the boy told a lot about himself.
When he was a child, he was sent to that teacher by his father, and then how he went through a lot of hard work to learn a skill, but in the end, it was not his turn to want to charge at the front line.
He could only stay in the rear, and his kung fu of riding and archery was ultimately nothing more than a tool for his father to please others and maintain his reputation.
"It's riding again." Bai Ling sighed softly.
The so-called King of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace.
From the concubines of the harem to the sons of the previous dynasty...... Almost everyone has learned a little bit of kung fu in riding and archery, how much does Emperor Jianxi like this, or is it obsession?
Shizi frowned keenly, "What's 'again'?" Have you heard anyone else learning to ride and shoot lately? ”
"Oh, I just remembered that a few ladies in the harem also like to ride horses and shoot arrows." Bai Ling replied with a smile.
Speaking of these concubines, the prince snorted, "If you don't say it, I forgot, you set off a cannon battle last night, and even I heard that the concubine was back in the Chengqian Palace." ”
"Isn't it good?"
"Of course it's good for the concubine." Shizi's eyes sank, and there was still a little smile on his face, "After all, the Qu family can rely on this chess piece to confuse the Sacred Heart." ”
Bai Ling tilted his head and smiled, but did not answer.
When Bai Ling was full of wine and food, and was about to leave the table, the young man realized from a certain unfinished feeling that he was quite happy to chat with the girl in front of him.
Yes, the mood is very relaxed...... The boy couldn't help but be a little distracted, probably because she didn't know her identity, so she let it go.
He didn't know how long it would last, but he hoped that the girl would never know who she was.
"I'm almost going back," said Billing, "are you going to stay here?" ”
"Ah, I'll wait a minute." Shizi waved his hand, "I see they still have an almond cheese here, they can't eat it at this time, wait for me to rest for a while and eat it before leaving." ”
Bai Ling laughed again, "Okay, then I'll go back today." ”
As she spoke, she turned around, and before she could take a step, Shizi said behind her, "You wait, come over again." ”
Bai Ling retracted his steps a little strangely, "What? ”
"Are you going to see Anhu at the end of the month?" The boy asked.
"Let's see the concubine's arrangement." Bai Ling replied in a low voice, "If she goes, of course I will follow." ”
Shizi hugged his hands and snorted coldly, "She didn't even miss the garden party in the palace, and she would let herself miss the flower viewing party at Anhu Lake?" Someone has to believe it. ”
Bai Ling shrugged his shoulders and said that if you don't believe me, I can't help it.
The young man coughed, "Anyway, you remember, if you go with you that night, you will always follow the concubine, don't let yourself be left alone, you know?" ”
