Emperor Renshou had a total of seven princes, and the eldest prince was born to the queen of the Middle Palace, but he died early at a young age and died in the second year of Emperor Renshou's accession to the throne.

Among the several princes who are alive today, except for the male protagonist Sheng Chengli's mother concubine, who is a foreign singer who has long died in the cold palace, the second prince Sheng Chengming's biological mother is the daughter of the cabinet Zhang Ge Lao Concubine Yi, the third prince and the sixth prince are all born by the Hui Guifei Xia family, the fourth prince's mother is like a concubine who was originally a maid around Concubine Yi, and the mother of the seventh prince is the noble Fang who just entered the palace a few years ago, and is good friends with the queen.

Now that the second prince is frequently praised by Emperor Renshou, even the family with Concubine Yi's mother has a bright face, which makes Concubine Hui very unhappy.

In order to appease them, the three princes went out of the palace to hold a flower folding party, and the emperor not only approved the leave of some civil officials to allow them to participate, but also heard that the three princes were ready to choose a one, two, and three first-class friends with a big hand, and directly promised a place for the Hanlin Academy as a lottery.

The Cabinet of the Hanlin Courtyard is not an official position, but it is closely related to the Cabinet, and many cabinet ministers in the past generations started as the Cabinet Minister.

The admission of regular Shujishi is selected after the imperial examination, and Emperor Renshou's move is said to be appeased, but it is more of a signal.

- A signal that allows the three princes to make close friends, cultivate power, and recruit subordinates.

Therefore, with this order, Jingzhong is not only a talented son who was originally good friends with the three princes, but also a child of a family like Rong Tang Rong Zheng, who was also asked by his father to study seriously and go to the meeting.

Rong Tang didn't have much interest in Ji Jishi, and this flower folding meeting was a step into the threshold of official career for others, but for him, it was just an opportunity to go out of the city for a short trip.

But Rong Tang was a little unsure if Su Huaijing wanted this opportunity, if he wanted it, Rong Tang would fight for him.

Early the next morning, at Rong Tang's strong request, the two took Huaijing's carriage out of the city. There are a total of three carriages in the Ningxuan Palace, the first is the prince and the princess, the second is Rong Zheng, Rong Yuan, and Rong Zhe, and the third is Rong Ying and Rong Ning.

Rong Tang got into the car and went to the seat, took out a wool blanket and wrapped it around his body, and took out a box of leaf cards, his eyes were shining: "Do you play poker!" ”

Su Huaijing was just about to pour him tea, but he was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Just the two of us?" ”

Rong Tang knocked on the car door very happily: "Shuangfu!" ”

A round head came in from behind the car curtain, and when Shuangfu saw what Rong Tang was holding in his hand, his eyes lit up: "Young Master, Lang Jun." ”

Su Huaijing didn't know what to say about the master and servant, so he laughed for a while, poured a cup of tea for Rong Tang to dry, set up a small table and played with the two.

When he was a child in the palace, he also saw the queen mother and the ladies played leaf cards, the third brother would laugh when he was thirteen or fourteen years old while shaking the fan while counting cards behind the mothers, often annoyed the most calm and quiet Concubine Mei Niangniang couldn't help but drive him away, so the third prince smiled and bent down to say goodbye, and then picked up Su Huaijing and went to the imperial garden to fly a kite and catch crickets, and kill a long time.

So Su Huaijing actually hasn't seen the girls play a game of leaf cards, but in his impression, the leaf cards are not called 'poker', and the tricks are completely different from the one Rong Tang is holding in his hand.

Shuangfu said that Rong Tang personally painted the pattern and went out to find a craftsman to customize, Su Huaijing was a little suspicious at the time, but after hearing Rong Tang say last night that he had never been stupid, he was much relieved.

Maybe there are other reasons for Rong Tang to pretend to be stupid, the courtyard of the deep mansion of the palace is a man-eating beast's mouth, Xiao Shizi is like a bodhisattva, it is safe to be a fool who has no quarrel with the world.

The rules of poker are taught by Rong Tang, the lottery head is copper money, Shuangfu Shuangshou has lost several times and even the monthly case is gone, and the next time the prince asked whether to play cards, they ran over in a hurry.

Fortunately, after Rong Tang won the money, he would return it the next day under various names, otherwise Su Huaijing would have to find a way to appease his subordinates.

Su Huaijing played with him for half a game, and when he saw that the tea was almost dry, he handed it to Rong Tang's mouth: "Moisten your throat." ”

Rong Tang was playing happily, and he didn't blink when he heard the words, so he naturally turned his head and wanted to drink water from Su Huaijing's hand.

Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, but he couldn't help but smile, but he was also used to him, raised his wrist slightly, and slowly and evenly fed Rong Tang half a cup of tea.

Rong Tang was slightly stunned as soon as the tea was entered, and after letting go, he pursed his lower lip and asked Su Huaijing: "Have you changed the tea?" ”

Su Huaijing nodded: "Isn't it delicious?" ”

Rong Tang said: "No, it's just the habit of drinking before." ”

Su Huaijing smiled and put down the cup, Rong Tang asked casually while playing cards: "Is the tea gone?" ”

"Hmm." Su Huaijing said, "Before, the tea was brought from Shudi, there were only so many, and they were all drunk, if Brother Tangtang likes it, I will ask my uncle if there is anything at home after a while." ”

Rong Tang couldn't help frowning when he heard Li Changfu's name, and neither of them went to Li Changfu's house when they returned to the door. Later, I heard Shuangshou say that on March 20, the Li Mansion in Songjing Lane swept the floor early in the morning to greet each other, and two long strings of firecrackers were hung at the door.

Rong Tang didn't care about him, Su Huaijing entered the door of Ning Xuan's palace, he was his person, a wedding banquet had already given Li Changfu enough face, so he didn't give this villain any chance to cling to the powerful.

So Rong Tang's tone was heavy, with a little displeasure, and said, "Don't ask him, this is also very delicious." ”

Su Huaijing smiled and asked, "Tang Tang likes it?" ”

Rong Tang glanced at him, a little inexplicable: "It's really good." ”

It is slightly bitterer than the kind of tea I drank before, but it is sweet after the entrance, and the taste is light, with a bit of morning dew, which is quite to his taste.

Before Su Huaijing could speak, Shuangfu smiled and lifted the old bottom: "Young master, you fortunately said that you like it, otherwise I wouldn't be worth it for Lang Jun." ”

Rong Tang was slightly surprised: "What's wrong?" ”

Shuangfu: "This is the dew that Lang Jun went to the garden to collect before dawn early in the morning, a pot on the blades of grass and a pot on the petals, boiled separately and put away to see the sun come out before knocking on your door, where can it not be delicious!" ”

Rong Tang was stunned for a long time, he played the wrong card in his hand, Su Huaijing's eyebrows moved, and he didn't let him, he took it with a smile and directly cleaned the leaf card in his hand. Shuangfu was happy one second ago, but his face collapsed in the next second, and he reluctantly recognized the facts, took out two copper plates from his pocket, and put them in front of Su Huaijing.

Su Huaijing's right hand spread out and handed it to Rong Tang: "Tangtang, give money." ”

Rong Tang subconsciously went to take out the money, put his hand halfway around his waist, and suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Su Huaijing: "Isn't my money with you?" ”

"But that's my pocket money." Su Huaijing said that there was no psychological burden at all, his phoenix eyes were shallow and bent, and he smiled harmlessly and innocently: "Brother Tang Tang plans to use my pocket money to offset gambling funds?" ”

Rong Tang was speechless and couldn't help but slander.

System Liang Liang said: [Host, you deserve it. 】

Rong Tang didn't feel that he deserved it, he just felt as if he was being pinched.

These days, Su Huaijing takes care of him meticulously, and Rong Tang is dependent, not only the key to the private treasury in the courtyard is handed over to him, but even every time he goes to the street, he puts money into Su Huaijing's pocket indiscriminately, and walks out with a hand stove empty-handed.

The same is true for this time to fold flowers, he didn't bring a penny with him at all, his money was either in Shuangfu or Su Huaijing.

Now I lost money playing cards with these two people, and I want to find my daughter-in-law to gamble or something......

Rong Tang was a little panicked on his face.

Su Huaijing smiled, untied the money bag with his backhand, took out a handful of broken silver and copper plates from it, piled them up in front of Rong Tang, and whispered, "Remember to return me." ”

Rong Tang was so amused by him that he was so faceless that he almost forgot that the money was all his own, so he agreed indiscriminately, and took out two copper plates from the pile of hills and handed them to Su Huaijing for gambling.

The system was amazed: "Host, what kind of fun are you guys playing? 】

It is clear that Rong Tang's silver tickets to Su Huaijing all start at one hundred taels, and now this pile of small mountain-shaped silver coins adds up to less than ten taels, and the two of them have to go back and forth, making it seem like flirting.

The system actually wanted to say this conclusion directly, but it knew that its host was really thin-skinned, so he digested it, turned around in the system space, and shrunk into a ball and nested on Rong Tang's lap to watch him play cards.

It was Rong Tang who wanted to play poker, and it was Rong Tang who didn't even have his pants left in the end, he looked at the pile of copper coins in front of him and returned to Su Huaijing's money bag intact, and was very puzzled: "You were playing me before?" ”

Su Huaijing smiled: "No." ”

Rong Tang didn't believe him at all, and when he saw that Shuangfu also lost with a sad face, he handed over the two pieces of broken silver that were left in front of him, and originally wanted to give them all to him, but he knew that Shuangfu would not accept it, and said: "One for you, one for me to keep, and you will give it to me next time you play cards." ”

Shuangfu looked at him, then at Su Huaijing, hesitated for a while, but finally accepted it, turned around and exited the car.

Rong Tang lost the whole game, his rare temper was not very good, he sulked and drank most of the cup of tea, and was about to pour it again, Su Huaijing stretched out his hand to stop him.

Rong Tang glared at him angrily, Su Huaijing lowered his eyebrows, a little pitiful, and a little aggrieved: "Brother Tang Tang gave my pocket money to others." ”

Rong Tang's scalp was numb: "Didn't I want to pay you back?" ”

Su Huaijing said again: "Brother Tang Tang is angry. ”

Rong Tang retorted: "I didn't." ”

Su Huaijing didn't believe it, looked at him fixedly for a while, shook his head, and came to a conclusion: "It's just angry." ”

Rong Tang: "......"

He confronted Su Huaijing for two seconds, let out his breath, and decisively admitted: "Yes, I'm a little angry." ”

Puzzled, he asked, "Do you know how to count cards?" ”

Su Huaijing blinked: "It's not difficult." ”

Rong Tang was so easy by him

's tone was stunned for a while, and he complained in a low voice after a while: "It's boring to play cards and count cards, it's like standing in front of you naked." ”

Su Huaijing's eyes were slightly dark, and he scattered again, smiling and coaxing: "I was wrong, I won't remember the cards next time." ”

Rong Tang looked at him suspiciously: "Really? ”

Su Huaijing nodded: "Really." ”

Rong Tang asked again: "Then why did you remember the cards this time?" ”

Su Huaijing smiled and bent his eyes: "Because Brother Tang Tang said that he would return me." ”

Rong Tang: "? Are you short of money? ”

Su Huaijing shook his head: "There is no shortage." ”

"What ......?" Rong Tang was even more puzzled.

Su Huaijing said: "The key to the treasury is in my hand, I keep the money in the palace, and Brother Tang Tang just got married and gave me all the cash to make pocket money...... Tang Tang, you shouldn't have any money in your hands now, right? ”

He smiled gently and calmly, but Rong Tang seemed to see a fox, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Su Huaijing stepped forward and held his hand and squeezed it slowly: "If you can't pay the money, Brother Tangtang will give me something else." ”

Rong Tang digested it for a long time, and his voice was astringent: "What do you want?" ”

Su Huaijing shook his head obediently: "I haven't thought about it yet, I'll tell you when I think of it." ”

Rong Tang almost gave him anger, bit his lip, and was about to have a seizure, his hand was pinched and pinched, Su Huaijing let go of him, spread his palm in front of him, and pushed his sleeve up: "It hurts......"

Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, and when he lowered his head, he saw that the villain's plain and white wrists were intricately covered with many red scars, each of which was very fresh, and it was a trace drawn from a grass stem or branch.

Rong Tang thought of what Shuangfu said before, and that bit of anger immediately disappeared, and he was even a little distressed. Su Huaijing raised his eyes to look at him, and his voice was soft and soft: "Okay?" ”

Rong Tang: "...... Good, good, good. ”

What can he do, he himself is going to marry his own wife.

Su Huaijing smiled and coquettishly again: "Then Tang Tang helps me rub the medicine, is it okay?" ”

Rong Tang: "......"

The plaster prepared by the doctor of the palace is very useful, Rong Tang used it up before and had some leftovers, and this time he went out and brought it in his luggage.

He rummaged through it, found the bottle of black ointment, opened it and scooped it out a little, remembering that the person in front of him was almost about to kill while helping him apply medicine last time in Yong'an Lane, he couldn't help it, glared at Su Huaijing, and said unkindly: "You can still hurt yourself with dew water, you shouldn't take it." ”

Su Huaijing felt that this sentence was very familiar, he was stunned for a moment, recalled for two seconds, laughed sullenly, and did not move his wrist, Ren Rongtang helped him apply the medicine, but said: "No." ”

Rong Tang looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Su Huaijing said: "It should be, 'How can you still hurt yourself with dew, Huaijing, you shouldn't collect it'." ”

The word 'Huaijing' came out of his mouth without a little awkwardness, and even hooked a little low and lazy, as if it contained love threads, sticky.

After Su Huaijing finished speaking, his eyes sparkled and looked at Rong Tang: "Tang Tang say it again?" ”

Rong Tang: "......" I refuse.

You deserve it. Once again, the system scolds its own host.

It is also very incomprehensible, obviously the host also knows that he is not the opponent of the villain at all, and he has to provoke him again and again, and he has to make himself blushing and speechless to stop for a while.

Rong Tang said: "Shut up." ”

He can't say Su Huaijing, can he still say that he can't talk about the little fool of the system.

[You know it's fierce to me!] The system said indignantly, and jumped up and down on Rong Tang's virtual character's legs many times as if venting his anger.

Su Huaijing couldn't hear the answer, and his tone was much softer, even more sticky than before: "Tang Tang? ”

Rong Tang's ears couldn't stop feeling a little hot, he really couldn't help it, his voice was weak, and he asked very weakly: "Don't call me like this." ”

Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, and immediately laughed, the plaster had been applied, and there was a herbal fragrance on his wrist, Su Huaijing took his hand back, supported his chin with one hand, raised his eyes and looked at Rong Tang with a smile: "Brother Tangtang bullied me." ”

Rong Tang collapsed even more.

Su Huaijing said: "I am not allowed to call my husband, nor am I allowed to call Tang Tang, so what should I call you?" ”

He paused, smiled more and asked softly, "...... Messire? ”

Rong Tang panicked, leaned forward, put his palm directly on Su Huaijing's mouth, and held him down, his ears became redder, his eyes dodged, and he couldn't wait to find a hole in the place to get in, his face was full of shame.

But his fingers happened to press on the back of Su Huaijing's hand on the side of his cheek, Su Huaijing paused slightly, his gaze moved down, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a slight smile, Rong Tang shrank as if he was burned, but he didn't take his hand away. Su Huaijing was in this posture, his left hand changed his movements, and his fingertips drilled in between Rong Tang's fingers little by little, little by little, until his hands were clasped, he took it down, and raised it in front of Rong Tang with a smile.

As if offering a treasure: "Look, ten fingers clasped!" ”

Rong Tang: "......"

Forget it when you're dead.

-

The place where the folding flower meeting is held is the Zhuangzi that Emperor Renshou gave to the three princes at the end of last year, called Songyuan, on the outskirts of the capital, near the mountains and rivers, and the scenery is beautiful.

Ning Xuan's palace convoy was worried that the prince would not be able to stand the bumps, so they walked slowly all the way, and when they arrived outside the village, there was already a row of carriages and horses tied to the horse pile.

The spring light is just right, and the mountains and forests on the left and right are full of flowers and green trees. Rong Tang awkwardly dodged Su Huaijing's hand and got off the carriage, and when he took a look, he happened to catch a glimpse of Ke Hongxue who was getting off the carriage.

Young Master Ke wore a turquoise spring dress today, with a white jade fan, a crown of hair, a long jade body, a pair of peach blossom eyes, thousands of styles, and the noble girls passing by around them inadvertently saw it, and they hid their faces one by one.

Rong Tang: "......" is a scourge.

He was slandered in his heart, Ke Hongxue looked at it leisurely, his eyes opened, he shook his fan and smiled: "Lord Shizi, meet again!" ”

Rong Tang turned around and was about to leave, but Su Huaijing stopped him and took a few steps forward with him smiling: "Master Ke." ”

Rong Tang had no choice but to go over and ask, "Mu Shaoqing is not with you?" ”

The corners of Ke Hongxue's mouth fell, and he laughed at himself: "Senior brother is very biased, worried that his little apprentice will be neglected on the road, so he personally escorted him, where can he still think of me?" ”

Rong Tang was slightly stunned and frowned: "Sheng Chengli is also here?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Ke Hongxue's expression changed, and she glanced at Rong Tang thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: "King Ning Xuan is really favored by His Majesty. ”

Rong Tang was stunned, turned to look at Su Huaijing, but saw that the latter was looking at him thoughtfully, his heart was condensed, and just about to explain, he heard Su Huaijing say: "Your Majesty is happy with auspicious beasts, the world knows it, didn't Young Fu Mo forget what you said in Shu Dao Pavilion last night?" ”

The reason why Ke Hongxue was suspicious was very simple, but they didn't mention Sheng Chengli's name at all last night, but just now Rong Tang opened his mouth when he heard Ke Hongxue finish speaking, and asked if the male protagonist was also here.

It's hard not to wonder what he knows.

Hearing this, Ke Hongxue's smile did not change, and asked Su Huaijing slowly: "Oh? What did Xia Guan say, so that the prince could guess who my brother was so quickly? Please also ask the princess to make it clear. ”

Rong Tang frowned, and wanted to beat Ke Hongxue a little.

Su Huaijing said calmly: "It seems that Young Master Ke does not have a good memory. Master Ke walked the palace as a young master, and in addition to the eunuch in charge, he was the prince and companion of the country. ”

Ke Hongxue shook the folding fan: "This is reasonable." ”

Su Huaijing: "The person who can let Young Master Ke save him regardless of his safety is unlikely to be his father-in-law." ”

Ke Hongxue said directly: "The princess is keen, not only is it unlikely to be a father-in-law, but also a prince." But how could the prince of the world happen to guess the Fifth Highness? ”

Although some time ago, Taifu Ke Wenrui said to Emperor Renshou that Sheng Chengli should be the minister of the auxiliary government, but this matter was hidden, and the close ministers of the Son of Heaven did not know about it.

And the henchmen of Emperor Renshou such as Rong Mingyu are also very tight, and it is absolutely impossible to tell the family about the obscurity in the palace, Ke Hongxue has this question, and his heart is not simple.

He was suspicious of Rong Tang and also suspicious of King Ning Xuan.

Rong Tang's temples jumped when he heard this, and he wanted him to stop talking, Rong Tang in this life didn't understand him, after getting along in the first two lives, could he still not understand Ke Hongxue!?

This person inexplicably stopped him in Shu Dao Pavilion last night, even if it was really a chance encounter, the words about "tiger" and "your apprentice" were mentioned by himself.

Not to mention that they "happened" to meet at the gate of Songyuan today, and when he asked casually, he pulled out his apprentice again.

Three times and twice, it was clear that he had a plan, and he could even pull the suspicion on him, and change himself to a high position to be held accountable.

Rong Tang didn't believe that Su Huaijing didn't see it, if he didn't think that Su Huaijing would have a plan to come over to talk, he really wanted to directly demolish Ke Hongxue.

His head hurt, and he heard Su Huaijing laugh and said: "To say a big disrespectful word, since you are a prince, you must have a carriage and horse in the palace to send you when you travel, and Xiaolongwei will accompany you to protect you, except for the five highnesses, who would dare to snub the prince and grandson?" ”

Ke Hongxue paused slightly, looking at Su Huaijing's eyes changed, a little satisfied, a little jealous, he leisurely closed the folding fan, and smiled as if he had just realized: "It was I who said that I missed my mouth to attract the suspicion of the prince and the princess, if it weren't for the princess's reminder, I don't know how many mistakes I will make in the future, thank you." ”

Su Huaijing avoided his thanks, his eyes were a little cold, his voice was slightly deep, and a sense of oppression came to his face: "I don't dare to take the word thank you, but I don't know what happened when Young Master Ke tried it many times?" ”：，，.
