24 Chapter 24

Rong Tang suddenly felt comfortable.

Jokes, he lost to the villain twice with the plot and system in hand, Ke Hongxue is a three-inch tongue of Spring and Autumn penmanship, can he please under Su Huaijing's hands?

Rong Tang approached Su Huaijing and patted the back of his hand to show his approval, Su Huaijing turned around and smiled at him, holding Rong Tang's hand.

Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, but he didn't break away, and stood quietly beside Su Huaijing and looked at Ke Hongxue.

Ke Hongxue only paused for a short two seconds, and then laughed, not hiding it: "The princess is really smart. ”

"That's it." Before Su Huaijing could speak, Rong Tang couldn't help showing off, raised his eyes and glanced at Ke Hongxue, and said, "But don't keep calling him the princess, he has a name, called Su Huaijing." ”

Ke Hongxue looked a little confused this time, looked at Rong Tang and looked at Su Huaijing, stunned for a while, couldn't stop laughing, arched his hand shallowly, and said, "Master Su, fortunately." ”

Su Huaijing took Rong Tang's hand, and it was not easy to return the gift, so he nodded and saluted: "Ke Tanhua." ”

Ke Hongxue was obviously happier because of his title, and took a wrong step: "Let's talk when you go in?" ”

Now is the time for the Flower Folding Club to enter, and people come and go at the gate of Songyuan, since it is clear that Ke Hongxue has something to ask, there is no need to ask for an answer in front of the public.

But Rong Tang was still indignant, glared at Ke Hongxue before turning around, and said in a strange manner: "Lord Mu has really worked hard all these years. ”

Ke Hongxue was stunned, and immediately hooked her lips, and the white jade fan shook in her hand again, shaking the breeze of late spring: "Senior brother is really hard." ”

Rong Tang punched the soft cotton, and his anger was even more uncomfortable, Su Huaijing pinched his fingertips funny, and his voice was soft, coaxing people: "Tang Tang." ”

Rong Tang immediately became dumb and silent.

He shouldn't have talked to Ke Hongxue!

There is a small guy in charge of receiving at the gate of Songyuan, and after checking everyone's waist cards and invitations, there is a special person to lead you to the corresponding yard.

Rong Tang didn't want to live in a courtyard with Rong Zheng and them, it happened that Ke Hongxue had something to discuss, and as soon as a few people combined, they asked for a small courtyard with an attic, with a total of four wing rooms and some miscellaneous rooms, just enough for them to move in with Mu Jingxu.

After Shuangfu Shuangshou packed his luggage, Mu Jingxu had not yet arrived in Songyuan, Su Huaijing asked Ke Hongxue strongly at the door what was the matter, but after checking in, he was not so eager, he just asked Rong Tang if he was hungry and whether he needed to eat first, and after getting a negative answer, he urged people to go back to the room to sleep.

Rong Tang raised his eyes in surprise, but Su Huaijing smiled and said, "Isn't Tang Tang sleepy for a long time?" ”

Not only is he sleepy, Rong Tang's health is already extremely poor, and every time he takes a long time to rest after a long-distance carriage, he needs to rest for a long time to recover, which is the conclusion that Su Huaijing came to when Rong Tang ran to Yong'an Lane every day before becoming a family.

Hearing this, Rong Tang's doubts dissipated, ignoring the sleepiness along the way and finally surging up uncontrollably, he yawned and said in a lazy tone: "Then I'll go to sleep first, if you go out for a walk, remember to let Shuangshou accompany you." ”

Shuangshou is the servant of the eldest princess's mansion and the Ningxuan Palace, and he may be cute and honest in front of them, but he is absolutely unambiguous and capable when he encounters things outside.

Rong Tang casually admonished, but Su Huaijing knew that he was afraid that he would be bullied when he went out.

So the softness in his heart couldn't stop spreading, and Su Huaijing responded warmly: "Okay." He said, "Tang Tang, next time you can sleep in the car." ”

Rong Tang didn't say it, but Su Huaijing could see it.

Whether it was Rong Tang going to the gilded building to pick him up on the third day of marriage, or going out shopping afterwards or on the way to the flower folding party this time, as long as Su Huaijing was in the same carriage with him, Rong Tang would not leave him to sleep even if he was sleepy.

Whether it's playing cards or eating snacks, it's essentially just playing with Huaijing.

Su Huaijing should actually urge him to rest, but he is always a little reluctant, and even wants to ask for more greedily.

His little bodhisattva seems to be very good at buying people's hearts, Rong Tang is like a net woven with sugar silk, Su Huaijing willingly fell into it, and let him wrap himself and put frosting on him.

But when he got out of the car and saw Rong Tang's sleepy appearance, Su Huaijing couldn't bear it anymore.

But Xiao Shizi just nodded indifferently and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention next time." ”

It should be casually answered, and whether you do it or not will have to wait for the next time to see it.

Su Huaijing knew it, a little helpless, and irrepressibly felt moved for him, his fingers curled up and curled up on his side, touching the waist card, in the end, Su Huaijing stretched out his hand and pulled Rong Tang's cuffs: "Tangtang, you forgot to tell me good afternoon." ”

At the end of spring, the kingfisher is singing and the flowers are blooming, the heat has not yet come, the ice and snow have melted, Su Huaijing stood in the spring dust under the eaves, and looked at Rong Tang with a smile.

Rong Tang's eyelashes twitched for a moment, his fingertips moved unconsciously, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "Good afternoon." ”

After a pause, he said, "...... Huai Jing. ”

Su Huaijing smiled even more bewilderingly than this spring, just like all the young spring that should be written into the poem to praise.

-

When Rong Tang woke up, it was getting late, and the flower folding party had not officially started, but there was already a banquet opening, and the location was different, and the personnel were uncertain.

The three princes boasted of having fun with the people, so there were not too many rules and regulations for this feast prepared for the literati on the surface, and they advocated coming and returning with fun.

Rong Tang got dressed and went out, and saw Su Huaijing and Ke Hongxue playing chess in the attic, he thought about it, climbed the stairs, and walked behind Su Huaijing.

In the middle of the chess game, it didn't look very stale, Su Huaijing even had the leisure to listen to the movement behind him, and when he saw Rong Tang coming, he naturally pulled over a small stool, let him sit beside him, and peeled an orange and handed it over.

"How's your sleep?" Su Huaijing asked.

Rong Tang was actually a little confused, maybe he slept too soundly, or maybe it was because he had a dream.

I dreamed of Su Huaijing, who was a little older than now, gentle and considerate as always, wearing a bright yellow crown robe, as if he had just gone down to the court, saw him, his steps were a little faster, and he called with a smile: "Tangtang, good morning." ”

The picture in the dream was too harmonious and quiet, and Rong Tang was confused for a long time.

Su Huaijing will be the emperor, but after he becomes the emperor, Dayu should usher in a catastrophe.

The emperor has endured hardships along the way, and he has long believed in no one and does not love the people of the world, and he will never have such a warm smile on his face.

He should be a tyrant soaked in the cold of the sea of blood, and he should be an iron-blooded tyranny, not a ...... It was so well-behaved that Rong Tang felt a little distressed in his dreams.

He was very happy to see Su Huaijing like that, but he still felt distressed.

But after waking up, the scenery of Songyuan is very good, the night sky is covered with layers of clouds, the wind blows through the blades of grass in the distance, he saw the person in the dream sitting on the red paint attic and the clouds are wrong, hanging his head, Rong Tang suddenly felt again: Su Huaijing should be like this.

He should have been the most favored little prince in the Dayu Palace, with a father and a queen mother, and brothers and sisters. The foundation left by his father was taken over by the prince's elder brother, and he should have been like his third brother, carefree to grow up to the age of seventeen or eighteen, become a famous young man in Kyoto, and then meet the person he likes, live his glorious life, and be a rich and noble prince who has left a name in history.

Instead of forbearance and hibernation, he is his, or Qin Pengxuan, or anyone in anyone's backyard, who is doing nightmares day by day, with swords and mountains and fires, and all his relatives dying in front of him.

Rong Tang's heart trembled, and he subconsciously grabbed the fingertips handed over by Su Huaijing.

Su Huaijing was slightly stunned, because of this sudden closeness, his eyes unconsciously lit up, and the corners of his lips outlined a shallow smile. He put his hand down, took Rong Tang's hand and landed under the chessboard, and continued to play chess with Ke Hongxue calmly, without reminding or urging, letting Rong Tang sober up by himself.

Ke Hongxue's eyes were hot, her stomach was full of sour water, she unfolded the folding fan with a 'swoop', her wrist shook quickly a few times, and her mouth also 'tsk' and said, "I don't see it." ”

Rong Tang was finally brought back to his senses by his movements, his brows furrowed, and after realizing that he was holding Su Huaijing's hand, he pretended to naturally take the peeled orange from his hand, let go of the hand that was holding it together, glared at Ke Hongxue, and said directly: "Tanhualang is rare and strange, haven't you seen a loving couple?" ”

Then he changed his words, and didn't give Ke Hongxue a rebuttal at all: "Yes, after all, Young Master Ke is a well-known volcanic filial son in Fengyue Tower, and he has made a lot of vows to come to the dew and love the mountains and seas, so naturally I haven't seen each other and respect each other like guests." ”

Su Huaijing was so amused by him that he secretly laughed, but Ke Hongxue paused, blinked, and the folding fan stopped in mid-air, and there was no movement for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, Ke Hongxue was happy, he bent his eyes, and dropped a son on the chessboard idly, his peach blossom eyes were raised, and he looked at Rong Tang with a smile, and his voice jumped out: "The prince seems to be hostile to the subordinates?" ”

Rong Tang snorted coldly, Ke Hongxue became interested, and got to the bottom of it: "Why?" I and the prince met for the first time yesterday, why do you want to tear down my platform again and again? ”

Although he was pursuing, there was no displeasure in his eyes, and he didn't even have the tentative vigilance of last night, as if he was pure curiosity, and his eyes looked at Rong Tang brightly.

Rong Tang begged him: "Didn't you just know me and speak without measure?" ”

What do you mean by not seeing?

He is marrying Su Huaijing Mingmei! Although I didn't sit in a sedan chair, I also carried a sedan chair to marry and worship the husband and wife of heaven and earth!

Why don't you see it!?

Rong Tang was indignant

Flat.

Ke Hongxue was stunned for a moment, thought about it for a while, understood the trick, couldn't stop laughing, the curved peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and the tone was amorous, tactful and subtle, and the tone was like a small hook: "Lord Shizi, I suspect that we knew each other in our previous lives." ”

Rong Tang frowned, and was about to speak, Su Huaijing took out a white piece from the chessboard and landed on the chessboard steadily, his voice was calm and calm: "Ke Tanhua, you lost." ”

Ke Hongxue was stunned for a moment, and looked at the chessboard.

A moment ago, there was a chess game that came and went, and did not reveal the killing intention, but between these few words, the sharp edge was revealed, and the moves went deep into the hinterland. A game of Go seems to hide the bleak north wind of marching and fighting on the battlefield.

Ke Hongxue was slightly startled, and looked at Su Huaijing's eyes with a little admiration unconsciously.

There were footsteps on the stairs, one by one, which were both calm and soft, and the contradictions were terrible.

Ke Hongxue turned around, put on an arrogant look like a gentleman, and sued Diao: "Senior brother, they bullied me." ”

The person who came was Mu Jingxu, dressed in white, upright and steady, his eyes swept down, glanced at the chessboard, and said coldly: "I'm not good at learning, I'm embarrassed to sue." ”

Ke Hongxue blinked, looked at Mu Jingxu with a little grievance, naturally got up and changed a stool, invited Mu Jingxu to the opposite side of the chessboard, and whispered: "Senior brother......"

"Shut up."

"Shut up!"

The two voices came one after the other, and Rong Tang saw Mu Jingxu's eyes looking at him, supported his forehead, and said, "I'm sorry, I have a headache when I hear him." ”

Ke Hongxue: "? ”

Su Huaijing laughed sullenly, poured a cup of tea for Rong Tang and handed it to him, Rong Tang took a small sip and took a sip, and heard Su Huaijing ask: "Since Master Mu is also here, can you tell us what the two of you have tried many times?" ”

Mu Jingxu glanced at Ke Hongxue, the latter nodded, he was clear in his heart, and got straight to the point: "I just want to ask the prince and the prince of Su, would you like to be with us at this flower folding meeting?" ”

Rong Tang paused slightly, and a strange emotion came up in his heart.

Su Huaijing asked, "Is it just the four of us?" ”

Mu Jingxu shook his head: "No." ”

Su Huaijing said: "Please Lord Mu Ming." ”

Mu Jingxu: "There are also five highnesses." ”

……

With a "bang", Rong Tang knocked over the teacup.

The three of them were stunned, and before Rong Tang could react, Su Huaijing had already grabbed his hand and put it in front of him, flipped it over quickly, and asked out loud: "Is it hot?" ”

Rong Tang's fingers curled up, feeling the temperature a little confused, and then shook his head: "No." ”

He lowered his head and saw a puddle of water stains and a broken tea cup on the wooden floor, and subconsciously wanted to squat down to pick it up, but Su Huaijing pulled him, stared at Rong Tang with his eyebrows locked for a while, stopped his movements, and leaned over to hold the broken porcelain in the palm of his hand.

When he got up again, Su Huaijing's expression was extremely cold, and he couldn't help but look at Ke Hongxue and Mu Jingxu: "Thanks to the two adults, Tang Tang and I have never gone to school, so even if you form a team, it will be a trouble for you, so you don't have to." ”

Mu Jingxu's expression was still indifferent, but Ke Hongxue, on the other hand, wrote surprise on his face, as if he didn't expect them to refuse at all.

The flower folding party is held for a total of seven days, the theme of each day is different, and the people who go to the meeting need to fit the theme of the day before the sunset of the West Mountain or write a poem, and send it to the three princes and the great Confucians who participated in the selection to choose a good and inferior.

But the people who came to participate in the flower folding party were not all talents, and there were also people such as Qin Pengxuan, who had no ink on their chests but had a prominent family background, so it was naturally impossible for them to lose face at this kind of banquet.

Therefore, the rule is based on the group, similar to Rong Tang's final homework group in modern school, a group of five to six people, the results are shared, and only the selection of the final Gujishi quota is recommended internally.

This kind of promotion is highly operable, and it is easy to bully others in other groups, but it is completely impossible for them.

Mu Jingxu and Ke Hongxue both have official positions, Sheng Chengli, as a prince, does not need to go to the Hanlin Academy to be a small Shujishi, as for Rong Tang, he is already a rich idler, and there is no need to put a shackle on himself.

So in the end, this place was almost given to Su Huaijing for nothing.

As for whether they can get the first place?

Dayu holds a triennial imperial examination, from the first year of Qingzheng, a total of three imperial examinations have been held so far, but the one in the seventh year of Qingzheng can be called a gathering of heroes and a fight between immortals.

Mu Jingxu is the first in the three yuan, and Ke Hongxue is nominally a tanhua, but in fact, Emperor Renshou originally wanted to ask him to be the champion because of Ke Taifu. But Ke Hongxue also dared to smile easily in the Jinluan Palace, and bluntly said that he had no ambitions, and he couldn't be a great Confucian who governed the country through the world, and was only suitable for drunken life and dreams, fighting horses and long streets, and being a useless prodigal scholar.

Emperor Renshou smiled when he heard this, but did not blame him, but praised his true temperament and ordered Tanhualang on the spot.

Is there anyone in this flower folding meeting who is more knowledgeable than these two? Maybe there are, but there's no denying that they're really good.

Besides--in Rong Tang's memory, the first two times were the first they won.

He, Mu Jingxu, Ke Hongxue, Sheng Chengli, plus Ke Hongxue, a junior who came to rub points.

The only difference is that the first two times Emperor Renshou did not promise Shu Jishi as a lottery head.

Rong Tang was pulled by Su Huaijing, standing in front of Mu Jingxu and Ke Hongxue, seeing that the emotions of the two returned to normal, Shi Shiran got up, smiled and said goodbye: "That's ......."

"We think about it." Rong Tang interrupted Ke Hongxue's words.

The strength of the handgrip suddenly increased, and it quickly became lighter, Rong Tang didn't look at Su Huaijing, his eyes looked at Mu Jingxu fixedly, and repeated in a low voice: "We will think about it for one night, and we will give you an answer before handing over the name card tomorrow morning." ”

Team members need to write their names on a special red piece of paper and submit them to the Three Princes. Since then, the folding flower will open, and several people on the post have become a binding relationship.

Mu Jingxu was still indifferent and nodded: "Okay." ”

Ke Hongxue raised her lips and smiled, her eyes turned between the two, then moved away, shook the folding fan, pointed to a place with lights not far away, and said with a smile: "Tonight is the beginning, there is a banquet on the Lanyue Pavilion, if the prince wants to go over to enjoy the fun, he needs to leave early, so as not to miss the hour, and the boats on the shore have stopped." ”

Rong Tang nodded: "Thank you." ”

Ke Hongxue and Mu Jingxu turned around and went downstairs, and before leaving, Ke Hongxue glanced at the chessboard again, and the corners of her lips hooked up with a smile of unknown meaning.

The red attic quieted down, Su Huaijing let go of the hand that grabbed Rong Tang, turned around and put the broken porcelain of the tea cup on the chess table, wiped the tea stains on his hands slowly with a square towel, sat on the stool, tilted his head, smiled harmlessly, but his eyes were cold.

He asked softly, "Tangtang, can you give me an explanation?" ”

Rong Tang lowered his head, and at a glance, he saw that Su Huaijing had added another dazzling red mark on his hand.

He was shocked in his heart, and he didn't have time to think, so he squatted down, grabbed Su Huaijing's hand with both hands, and carefully touched the skin around the wound.

Su Huaijing's hands are still slender and white, like fine mutton fat and white jade, but from the wrist to the fingers, they are covered with scars of different old and new.

The beautiful jade is flawed, Rong Tang is distressed,

Su Huaijing raised his hand, pressed his fingertips on Rong Tang's cheek, and the faint blood beads fell on his face, contaminated with his own breath, and Su Huaijing's mood finally calmed down a little.

He asked again: "Isn't Tang Tang unwilling?" ”

"There is no reluctance...... Rong Tang said in a dumb voice, as soon as the words fell, he bumped into the playful coldness in Su Huaijing's eyes, was silent for a moment, and said softly: "But I think you clearly want to team up with them." ”

Su Huaijing raised his eyebrows lightly: "Huh? ”

Some words have not yet been spoken, so even if Rong Tang guessed that Su Huaijing had already known Ke Hongxue's purpose, and knew that he must have his own considerations if he pretended to deal with it, he couldn't say it.

He just obediently tilted his head, let the blood stain on his face, and said, "I want you to take the first." ”

Like a marked beast, he did not need to be tamed, so he obediently burrowed into the hunter's cage, wrapped the man in his belly with his soft and slippery fur, and spent the winter quietly.

Rong Tang said softly: "Huaijing, let's go with them and get the first." ”

Su Huaijing stared at Rong Tang like the rain queen, rubbed his fingertips obediently, and begged in a low voice: "Okay?" ”

The voice was soft and loud, and one could hear that one wanted to put all the treasures in the world that could be used as gifts before him to enjoy.

The night gradually closed, the flowers bloomed all over the Songyuan, Su Huaijing's throat rolled, and for the first time, he didn't agree to Rong Tang's request, he said slowly and clearly in those hopeful eyes: "It's not good." ”

He could see it very clearly, and the disgust that flashed in Rong Tang's eyes when the tea cup was knocked over...... and fear.

He allowed Rong Tang to be friends with Mu Jingxu, but he didn't want Rong Tang to be afraid.

Rong Tang is his own little Bodhisattva, he should read the book without worry, eat snacks, go to the market to enjoy the spring flowers, Su Huaijing has countless ways to take revenge, it is nothing more than the difference between faster and slower.

But there is no road worthy of Rong Tang to suppress his fear and accompany him.

- Even if he didn't know why Rong Tang was afraid. :,,.
