Chapter 121

On the other side, Ning Shuo took the prince on a long path. He walked respectfully beside the prince, and from time to time said a few words about Xiaoxi Mountain, which made the prince's vigilance a little. He is also the second son of the Ningguo Mansion, the personal disciple of Buyuchuan, and he has also read the case files of the Muzhou Suijia, so the prince has the heart to win him over.

It doesn't matter if it's useful or not, it can't be offended anyway.

Because of the intention to woo, everything went according to Ning Shuo's intentions, Ning Shuo said the name of Xiaoxi Mountain, he searched his stomach and picked up a few sentences of the people who lived in the Xiaoxi Mountain Courtyard for generations, and said with a smile: "At that time, your Ningguo Mansion was not considered to be in the forefront of the founding heroes, but now it is the pillar of the court. ”

When the prince said this, he had a kind smile on his face, and from time to time he raised his eyes to look at Ning Shuo, and when he encountered a muddy path, he had to say a word of caution with concern. ”

Ning Shuo only felt that the prince's expression and movements were somewhat familiar before, but after looking at it, he realized that the prince was actually learning his previous movements and expressions to deal with people.

That's a ......

Ning Shuo's heart suddenly had mixed feelings. The prince really didn't care about dealing with people before, he was the prince, and it was not his turn to be low and small, and he was there, so the four words of befriending the minister fell on him.

Now, it has fallen on the crown prince again.

He leaned slightly sideways, glanced at the prince, and saw that he was smiling at him. The prince smiled: "Ah Shuo, King Shun is quite happy with you, I'm afraid you also know some carpentry skills?" There happened to be a piece of wood in my courtyard, and the head and tail were a little rotten, and after removing the head and tail, it was only the size of a square inch. Would you like to go to my annex and see what you can carve into it? ”

Ning Shuo thought, this is also the remaining trick he used before, and the prince also picked it up and used it, but he was proficient in it.

- How long has it been since you practiced to be so proficient now? In the beginning, were you ever clumsy, but were you ever laughed at?

He lowered his eyes and chuckled, "No need...... Your Highness, the carpentry work of the minister is not as good as that of His Royal Highness King Shun, but he only knows a little about the skin. If Your Highness wants to carve, why not go to the Ministry of Engineering and ask, there are people who are skilled in carpentry. ”

He said: "There is no road ahead, Your Highness, let's go back?" ”

The prince was not angry when he was rejected, he had enough of the warmth and coldness of the world over the years, although he was the prince, he did not live as well as the farmers in the mountain villages, and he really had no temper. Just as he was about to speak, the word "comfortable" flashed in his mind, and his face turned a little pale - he remembered what the feast bell said, "Lan Shi is comfortable".

He took a deep breath and forced a smile, "It's okay, let's go back, it's not too early." ”

Ning Shuo bowed his head and still walked respectfully beside him, and the prince glanced at him, which was a little strange. This time, he spoke a little sincerely, "Mr. Gu feels that staying with you is a little familiar, like an old friend who hasn't seen him for many years, although he hasn't seen him for many years, he is not a stranger." ”

Ning Shuo's body stiffened, and his lowered head was lower, "Xu Shichen is too stuffy and too ordinary." ”

The prince shook his head, "No, I always feel ......"

What do you think?

A ridiculous thought flashed through my mind.

He thought that he must be crazy to think that Ning Shuo was like Lan Shi.

The prince smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Forget it, it's the lonely devil who is stunned." But because of the beginning, it was a lot more pleasing to Ning Shuo's eyes - sincerely.

He said to him affectionately: "Do you have a table?" ”

Ning Shuo shook his head, "No." Not yet old. ”

Twenty crowns for men, and only then will there be a watch. The prince said, "Lone will give you one?" ”

Ning Shuo saluted and refused in fear, "Your Highness is kind, and the courtiers have it." It's just that the old gentleman who doesn't rain said it earlier......"

The prince was a little disappointed, and said, "It's a matter of course, you are a disciple of Buyuchuan." ”

The prince hated the rain river. He was not interested in talking about this person at this time, so he diverted the conversation and said with a smile: "Keep going back." ”

Ning Shuo nodded, followed the prince back to the courtyard, and when he arrived at the prince and the Suijia courtyard, he suddenly paused and said, "Your Highness, can you see a bird flying into the courtyard of the Suijia family?" ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and finally shook his head, "Didn't you see it, did you see it?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Yes, I saw it, it's a beautiful finch, but it's rare...... The last Huichen also saw it, but he just went in to take a look, but he didn't see it, so he was afraid that he would fly away. But just now, I saw that it probably built a nest in it. ”

The prince began to beat the drum in his heart, he did know that Ning Shuo had entered the other courtyard, and it was indeed for a bird. But a person like the prince doesn't dare to look at the surface of things, and has to think deeply about the deep meaning behind it. He had thought about the reason why Ning Shuo entered Xiaoxi makeup, either for the sake of the Sui family, or for the sake of the king, or even because it was his father's will, after all, Ning Guogong was a knife of his father.

But today, now, looking at Ning Shuo's expression, he was a little convinced that he was really making up for a finch in the stream. He looked at Ning Shuo's expression carefully, and didn't see anything else, so he was relieved, and said with a smile, "Maybe, there are many mountains and forests around here, and there are many birds and birds." ”

Ning Shuo said, "Your Highness, the minister went in and had a look." ”

The prince only felt that his blood was pouring up, he could hardly hear any sound, and he couldn't say anything, as if he was deaf and dumb, he couldn't help but take a step forward, and only said in a half-loud voice, "Do you want to go in and have a look?" ”

Ning Shuo: "Yes." ”

The prince bit the tip of his tongue, there was an astringency in his mouth, and the smell of blood was pungent, he swallowed a mouthful of blood, and then said slowly: "But it is sealed over there." ”

Ning Shuo stared at him, "Your Highness...... Four years have passed since the family incident, and it will be five years soon. This sealed courtyard is sentenced to be used by the imperial court, and the imperial court does not use it, and it is abandoned here, it is not a place where no one can go, and it doesn't hurt to go in once. ”

"Besides, the minister is not a chaotic minister or thief, but he just goes in to see a sparrow at the right time, so it's okay."

Speaking of this, he suddenly smiled, "In the world, only the family can't enter, and the minister doesn't have the surname Sui." ”

When the prince heard this, he was silent for a long time, Ning Shuo didn't say much, he just turned away, the prince looked at his hand on the seal in a daze, and watched him tear off the seal and take it in his hand, hazy, watching him step into the creek with one foot, and then, the other foot also stepped in.

Today is between autumn and winter, the wind is not cold, but the sun is very dazzling, the prince feels that he should be stabbed by this light, so he feels that Ning Shuo's scene of raising his legs into the creek to make up is very similar to Lan Shi.

At this moment, he was terrified, but he couldn't help but follow the blurred figure into the courtyard, into a place where he had never dared to be arrogant in his life.

- Taifu, Lan Shi...... Shouke has come to see you.
