Rong Tang took advantage of drinking tea and silently recalled for a long time.

He doesn't have a deep relationship with Lu Jiaxi, Linyuan Academy is the most well-known university in Dayu, recruiting students every spring, and the enrollment scope includes civilian students, descendants of merchants, and grandchildren of families.

Every dynasty and every generation will have champions from Linyuan Academy, and in the hearts of the world's scholars, the status of Linyuan Academy is comparable to Mount Tai.

Lu Jiaxi Qingzheng entered the Linyuan Academy in the eighth year, Qingzheng participated in the first flower folding meeting in the ninth year, and Qingzheng went to the imperial examination in the tenth year.

Rong Tang vaguely remembered that he was born as a second-class cijinshi at that time, entered the Hanlin Academy as a Shujishi, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Rites in the eleventh year of Qingzheng.

In the first two lives, there was no case of Ding Laibao, and there was no knight to offer the tiger, and Emperor Renshou did not promise the quota of Shu Jishi as the color of this flower folding meeting, Rong Tang originally thought that Lu Jiaxi was just a junior brother of Ke Hongxue who came to rub points.

And in this life, the first white body of the Folding Flower Society can directly enter the Hanlin Academy to be a Shujishi; The Ding Laibao incident was sued by Lu Jiaxi, the young master of the businessman family who went out of the city to study; Su Huaijing wrote in his own hand that he had been to Lu's Bookstore....

What a coincidence.

Coincidentally, Rong Tang couldn't help but suspect that Lu Jiaxi was Su Huaijing's person, and in previous lives, the male protagonist may not know how many such small characters behind the scenes actually belong to the villain.

If that's really the case...... Rong Tang felt an indescribable palpitation, but it was not nervous, but a blood surge of appreciation. It's really interesting to see your previous failures from a different perspective.

Rong Tang put down the teacup, he and Su Huaijing didn't match Ke Hongxue's words, the latter raised his eyes, stared at him with a smile, Rong Tang was stared at by him and couldn't help it, and said: "A few days ago, I asked my younger brother to go to Lu's bookstore to help Huaijing buy two cigarettes and ink, which is very good, so I asked this question."

Lu Jiaxi hurriedly surrendered his hand: "It is an honor for the family to be loved by the prince, if the prince does not dislike it, the students will regularly send the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone and study to the Ningxuan Palace."

Rong Tang had never seen someone in such a hurry to send money, so he choked up a little and said: "Don't bother with Lu Gongzi, I'm not in good health, I can't sit in front of the desk often, and I don't need those treasures." As for the pen and ink that Huai Jing wants to use, it has been borne by my brother-in-law, so there is really no need to trouble Lu Gongzi. “

A few people on the red lacquer small building looked at each other, Lu Jiaxi said a few more words, Su Huaijing had already peeled half a plate of after-dinner fruit on the side, and handed it to Rong Tang with a smile: "Tangtang, eat fruit."

Rong Tang glanced at him, thinking about the presence of outsiders, so he didn't say anything, ate two lychees, leaned lazily on the railing, looked into the distance, and looked at the scenery of Songyuan casually, and did not pay too much attention to their conversation.

There is still one member left in the group, but Lu Jiaxi should have asked a long time ago, and Su Huaijing would not take the initiative to ask about Sheng Chengli's whereabouts because of Rong Tang.

As for Rong Tang, he is crazy to care about the male protagonist.

He just casually asked the system: "How did the male protagonist of this world choose, is it entirely because of the author's preference?"

When Rong Tang is a reader, the perspective follows the author's arrangement throughout the whole process, and he will not think about whether the protagonist has chosen the wrong person. After crossing in, the system task was hanging in front of him, and he didn't have the time and energy to think about it.

But now that he is free, Rong Tang is suddenly very curious.

Judging from the clues of the piles, whether it is his life experience or his temperament, Su Huaijing is clearly more suitable than Sheng Chengli to be the protagonist.

Lu Jiaxi is not a particularly important person, and even he went to the Ministry of Rites because of Mu Jingxu's advice and Ke Hongxue's suggestion, and he did give the male protagonist help in some things in the later stage, so it stands to reason that he should not be Su Huaijing's person.

Rong Tang frowned lightly when he thought of this, and was a little suspicious.

What if Lu Jiaxi's first two lives were indeed because of Ke Hongxue, and he was a small person in the male protagonist's camp? Is it the butterfly effect brought about by the Shen Feiyi incident in this life or something else that made him intersect with Su Huaijing?

He was so engrossed that he didn't notice that the sound of the conversation had become quieter at some point, Su Huaijing walked over, picked up a white-tender and juicy lychee with a small fork, and sent it to Rong Tang's mouth: "Tangtang, ah-"

Rong Tang subconsciously opened his mouth, the sweet coolness entered his mouth, he blinked his eyes lightly, his teeth began to chew mechanically, and he raised his eyes to look at Su Huaijing.

"What are you thinking?" Su Huaijing asked.

I'm thinking about what you have to do with Lu Jiaxi.

Rong Tang looked at him for a while, turned his head and spit out the lychee kernel in his mouth into his hand, and asked: "Didn't you write to me before that you bought a few scripts for me, did you bring Songyuan this time?"

Su Huaijing paused slightly, and smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Brought it here, do you want to see it today?" Rong Tang nodded: "Well, I'm too lazy to go out." "Okay, I'll give it to you later." Su Huaijing said.

Ke Hongxue spoke out at the right time: "If the prince does not leave the hospital, can you lend your daughter-in-law to us?"

Rong Tang threw a knife in his eyes, and was about to open his mouth, when he caught a glimpse of Mu Jingxu's eyebrows frowning slightly, and the desire to scold Ke Hongxue was gone.

Why are you scolding him? Someone has cleaned up his mouth.

Lu Jiaxi said cautiously: "Why don't I compose a poem, before going to the meeting, the teacher of the school had tested our knowledge, and at that time, there was a resignation with the theme of peony."

Rong Tang caught the keyword: "Peony? On the first day of the flower folding meeting, Sheng Chengxing used peony to solve the problem?"

Lu Jiaxi was stunned for a moment, and said dumbfounded: "Huh? That's right. ”

Rong Tang didn't speak, Ke Hongxue shook the folding fan with a smile, took a lychee from his plate and threw it into his mouth, and said slowly: "How is it? Is the prince interested in being discharged from the hospital now?"

Rong Tang pursed his lips, and a little displeasure welled up in his heart.

Emperor Renshou's harem is full, and although he respects and loves the queen, Queen Wang is nearly forty years old after all, and it is difficult to get pregnant again.

Concubine Hui is domineering, her mother's family is powerful, she gave birth to two princes, and the youngest son was even falsely said by the warlock that she was born as Emperor Wangxing, she is in the palace, although she is not the queen, but she is almost the same.

The peony is the queen of the flowers, and the peony is the prime minister of the flowers, and the two are easily reminiscent of the mother of the country and the favorite concubine. It is not surprising that Sheng Chengxing's theme of this flower folding meeting is peony, but he actually used peony to make the opening, which is really Sima Zhao's heart, which is known to passers-by.

Rong Tang's expression turned cold, and Su Huaijing said: "Tang Tang doesn't want to go out, don't go, I'll just go alone."

Rong Tang shook his head: "No, together." ”

Ke Hongxue immediately smiled: "Let's take a walk, let's take a look, today in the Lanyue Pavilion is the most popular Liyuan Ziyu class in Beijing recently, I have been thinking about it for a long time."

Rong Tang's momentum that had just been mentioned was mostly dissipated for a while, and he looked at Mu Jingxu helplessly.

Mu Jingxu's eyes turned to Ke Hongxue, with a few wisps of ice and snow in his eyes that were about to freeze to death, Ke Hongxue noticed his senior brother's gaze, and he was stunned in an instant, and he didn't dare to say a word of incoherence from the attic to the way to the island in the middle of the lake by boat.

But as soon as he got off the boat, he heard the sound of babbling opera coming from the Lanyue Pavilion on the shore, and he did it again! Turned his head and looked at him with a look that Rong Tang was very familiar with in his previous life, but he had never seen in his life, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

: You know me, right? Brothers!

Rong Tang doesn't understand, Rong Tang doesn't want to understand, Rong Tang understands Rong Tang casually responds and has to be taken into the pit by you.

Tang Tang felt bitter in his heart, and silently approached Su Huaijing for a few minutes, Su Huaijing naturally lowered his hand, grabbed Rong Tang's fingers, and led him to Lanyue Pavilion.

Rong Tang glanced down at the hands of the two of them, and the villain's plain white hands, which looked unstained with dust and blood, were covered with layers of scars, all of which made him feel both shocking and distressed.

Whether the dew will cut his fingers, Rong Tang didn't dare to say dead, but the traces drawn by the broken porcelain cup must not appear on Su Huaijing's hands.

He was obviously panicked, and in order to stop himself, he reached out directly to grab a pile of broken porcelain pieces without any scruples, so that his palms would be cut.

Rong Tang felt that all the displeasure he had just been teased by Su Huaijing in the letter was dissipated, and he reached out and grabbed the fingertip that was holding him.

Su Huaijing didn't know what he understood, so he stopped his steps, frowned slightly, and said, "Dare to ask the two adults, where is the Fifth Highness now, why haven't we seen each other?"

Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Su Huaijing, but could only see his tall silhouette and handsome side face, and he didn't know what emotions he was for a while.

Mu Jingxu replied: "His Royal Highness Fifth is unwell, resting in the room, and he won't be with us for a few days."

Su Huaijing's expression relaxed a little, and he was about to continue walking forward with Rong Tang, but he saw Ke Hongxue shaking his fan, and the red-crowned rooster-like expression was arrogant with some slight disdain.

"That's why I said, senior brother, your vision is really poor, Sheng Chengli's kid has been sick and frightened for the past two months, and I don't know how long he can live, so you treat him like an eyeball."

Lu Jiaxi hung his head and stared at his toes, not daring to say a word, pretending that he had not heard any disrespectful speech. Su Huaijing's expression was a little surprised, his eyes turned between the two of them and then retracted, holding Rong Tang's hand and walking forward.

Only Rong Tang's expression has not changed at all, hearing it is the same as not hearing it.

Ke Hongxue doesn't look down on the male protagonist, not only does he look down on Sheng Chengli, he doesn't even look down on all the princes of Emperor Renshou, including Emperor Renshou himself. However, when these words reach the ears of people with hearts, it is easy to be said to be a great rebellion, and Ke Tanhua disdains to say it to others.

Rong Tang had heard it a few times, but he was also curious, and asked him: "Since you don't really obey Sheng Chengli, why do you pay so much for him?"

not only invited Mrs. Ke to endorse Sheng Chengli, but also scattered a lot of gold and silver to make contacts for him, such a prodigal son who was full of ups and downs was willing to go to the country to take the position of young master and take care of the five princes.

His heart can be shown by the sun and the moon, the world and the earth can be expressed, whoever looks at him in the past Ke Hongxue is the first loyal minister under Sheng Chengli, and he definitely can't imagine that he can't look down on the male protagonist at all.

Ke Hongxue only smiled after listening to his question, his eyes crossed the sky, and he didn't know which fixed point among the stars, and asked: "Who else can you choose besides him?"

The second prince has the help of the master behind him, the third prince and the sixth prince have no shortage of strategists behind the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, the seventh prince is young, and the fourth prince is really useless, and he can't even get the ticket to win the heir.

/>

Pick and choose, in this huge palace, only one Sheng Chengli can be singled out.

Ke Hongxue picked up the wine glass, raised her head to salute the moonlight, didn't look at Rong Tang, but said with a smile: "Lord Shizi, I don't know if you still remember, the Dayu Palace ten years ago was just like this night sky, the stars twinkled, and the moonlight dissolved."

It was the best of times, a time when you want to indulge in dreams when you think about it, but it was forever destroyed by a rebellion and never existed again.

In April, the spring light is just right, there is wind on the island in the middle of the lake, the water is rippling, and the morning light falls on the lake, and reflects the ripples like a mirage.

The sound of opera came from the pavilion, and Rong Tang and his party of five entered the Lanyue Pavilion through the apricot blossom forest, and then they were introduced into the building by the small maid.

Sheng Chengxing was leaning on the railing on the third floor, looking down at the repertoire being performed on the red platform on the first floor with a smile on his face, his expression was not arrogant, but inexplicably with a condescending feeling, jumping out of his elegant and erudite false name, more like a naughty child who knew that he was born in a high position, so he stood on the top of the mountains and overlooked the world.

Rong Tang doesn't like him very much, and compared to Sheng Chengming, he even doesn't like Sheng Chengxing even more.

Ke Sheng Chengxing stood on the railing, a pair of eyes turned aimlessly, glanced at Rong Tang, smiled and raised his hand, and made a lip shape: "Cousin." ”

There was no way, Rong Tang could only go up.

Ke Hongxue and Mu Jingxu greeted the third prince, Sheng Chengxing didn't even nod his head, walked up to Rong Tang affectionately, stopped him with a salute, folded his hands and held his hands to make a very intimate look: "Cousin's body is better? Ah Yuan told me that you were coming, I couldn't believe it, I knew it was the truth, I should have told my father and asked him to send the carriage and horses from the palace to pick you up at the palace, so as to avoid some hard work on the road. ”

Rong Tang was unhappy in his heart, but said lightly on his face: "Your Royal Highness bother, my mother knows that I am not in good health, and the carriages and horses used for travel are all specially made materials, although they are not as noble as the royal family, but they are far better than most ordinary carriages and horses."

When Sheng Chengxing heard this, the smile on the corner of his lips fell a little, and he didn't know if it was because Rong Tang brushed his face, or because of the princess that Rong Shizi mentioned inexplicably in his words.

The world knows that Princess Ning Xuan is the sister-in-law of the queen's mother, Rong Tang's words sound reasonable, neither humble nor arrogant, but when he mentioned the queen's sister in front of Concubine Hui's eldest son, anyone who cares will feel that something is wrong when they think about it a little, and there are so many taboos in the heavenly family that there are countless people.

The third prince can take the initiative to mention the queen mother and the eldest princess to Ning Xuan Wang Shizi, but when Rong Tang mentions to him the characters related to the queen, Sheng Chengxing will be suspicious.

He couldn't tell for a moment whether Rong Tang just said it casually or deliberately, the curvature of the corners of his lips remained in a constant position, his eyes slowly became inquisitive, his hands loosened, he picked up a paper fan to his side, unfolded it and shook it gently, and said: "Even so, the queen mother must be much more relieved."

Behind Sheng Chengxing, there was originally a group of young men who had been shining in Beijing for a while, but as soon as they were promoted by everyone at this time, Rong Yuan took a step forward and bowed to Rong Tang: "Brother."

Rong Tang didn't nod, his eyes fell, Rong Yuan saluted, no one called him, got up, and said with a smile: "Brother, my body has improved a lot these days, I wonder if I can have a good time shopping in Songyuan this time?"

Su Huaijing stood beside Rong Tang, and had already grabbed Rong Tang's fingers again, his eyes drooped, covering the shadow under his eyes, and his fingertips rubbed slowly but impatiently on Rong Tang's hand, as if he wanted to replace all the marks that had just been stained by Sheng Chengxing.

Rong Tang didn't pump his hand, let him go, just lazily handed his eyes to Rong Yuan, coughed twice lightly, not too weak, but not much better, didn't answer his brother's words, but asked: "Have you greeted your sister-in-law?"

Su Huaijing's movements paused slightly, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced sideways at his little Bodhisattva, and the unhappy mood was miraculously smoothed in an instant.

He slowed down, and searched the Lanyue Pavilion silently, trying to find a water source where he could clean his hands. Rong Yuan's expression on his face was surprised for a second, and then he smiled, bent over again, and said respectfully: "Please be well, sister-in-law." Su Huaijing accepted his salute, nodded slightly, and returned the favor, without the idea of greeting.

Rong Tang's expression was a little gloomy, and then he answered Rong Yuan's question: "I only arrived yesterday afternoon, I was a little sleepy and slept a little longer, and I walked around the island in the middle of the lake at night, and I haven't set foot in the rest of the place."

King Ning Xuan's three sons, the eldest son Rong Tang is a well-known sick son of Yu Jing, and the second son Rong Zheng gradually became a famous person in the generation of Ning Xuan Wangfu under the backdrop of the sick son of the eldest brother, so that many people thought that when Rong Tang went, Ning Xuan Wangfu would fall into the hands of Rong Zheng.

When everyone chatted, they occasionally mentioned Rong Zheng, but rarely mentioned Rong Yuan.

He completely hid himself under the two brothers, not fighting and not revealing, like a calm lake.

Rong Tang knew that he was far from being as kind as he appeared on the surface, if Rong Zheng was like a reckless and stupid tiger, Rong Yuan was a poisonous snake that hid in the shadows and hidden from the environment, and could pounce at any time to bite open the enemy's blood vessels and inject toxins into the body.

Rong Tang didn't like to communicate with him, just like he didn't want to chat with Sheng Chengxing, and after a few or two greetings, he said he wanted to leave.

Sheng Chengxing didn't stop it, but he was finally willing to condescend and hand his gaze to the few people behind Rong Tang, and said with a smile: "Mu Shaoqing and Ke Shaofu's knowledge is first-class, even my father and the emperor have praised it, and my cousin is with them, it seems that he is determined to win this time?"

Rong Tang said: "I didn't go to school, I just came to make up the numbers, and I don't care about this." ”

Sheng Chengxing asked again: "I also saw the name of the fifth brother on the name card handed over in the morning, why didn't I join you?"

Rong Tang really didn't want to talk this time, he lowered his eyebrows, and posted a sticker to Su Huaijing with some irritation, so Ke Hongxue took a step forward and smiled and arched his hand: "If you go back to Your Highness, Your Highness Fifth has not recovered from a serious illness some time ago, and this time I rushed all the way from the palace, and I was tired on the road again, and I was blown by the wind on the lake last night...... No, he fell ill again, and now he is recuperating in the courtyard. “

"So-" Sheng Chengxing paused and said, "I really should recuperate, lest I return to the palace after the flower folding meeting, and the fifth brother is critically ill again, and my father will blame him, I really don't know who to turn to complain."

He smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and his afterglow flashed, and he asked Ke Hongxue as if he was inadvertent: "It's you, Young Master Ke, who is the most idler and lazy to ask about the world, how can you be interested in teaming up with the fifth brother this time to get a touch of this worldly name?"

Ke Hongxue closed her fan and complained about it: "Is it that I am willing, isn't it that my grandfather repeatedly told me before I came, saying that Weichen is a gentleman, if the students have nothing to rely on, they must be their arms and help one or two. The senior brother felt sorry for me, took the initiative to accompany me, and happened to fall in love with Rong Shiziye, so he formed a team, so as not to be bored, and the flower folding meeting was not over, so I was annoyed by those words, and I went back to Fengyue Tower to find Ying, Yan, and sisters. “

Sheng Chengxing was slightly stunned, and then burst out laughing: "Young Master Ke is still so humorous and funny."

Ke Hongxue replied with a smile: "It is an honor for Weichen to be able to make His Highness smile, but there is one more thing I want to ask His Highness to open Chrysostom for a favor."

Sheng Chengxing waved his hand: "But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Ke Hongxue said: "I hope that Your Highness will see Grandpa Weichen next time, and you can tell him that I am really a useless idler, I can't be anyone's arm, I just want to get drunk and be a wanderer in the arms of a beauty, don't arrange these thankless errands for me again." “

Sheng Chengxing smiled when he heard this, the paper fan unfolded and shook, shook his head and said: "I don't dare to say this to the Taifu, if my father knows, I should say that I have dirty the ears of the Taifu Zun by talking nonsense, maybe I will be punished to copy the Buddhist scriptures to tell the ancestors, or Tanhualang himself to explain to Grandfather Ling."

Ke Hongxue cried and made a sad face again and again, until the group finally separated from Sheng Chengxing.

As soon as Su Huaijing disappeared from the sight of Sheng Chengxing and the others, he led Rong Tang to find a water source, hung his head and quietly wet the handkerchief, and carefully and thoughtfully wiped his hands for Rong Tang over and over again.

Ke Hongxue replaced Fang Cai's face that was a little too pretentious, and looked at it for a long time as if it was a spectacle, and waited until Su Huaijing changed a smoked dry handkerchief to wipe Rong Tang's hands again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, took a step forward, hit Rong Tang's back with his shoulder, and asked: "Lord Shizi, where did you find this daughter-in-law?" Such gentleness and thoughtfulness, you can't take it out and not envy a large number of people?"

The strength is not heavy, it can even be regarded as very light, probably thinking that he is a patient, Ke Hongxue even jokes are very appropriate, but Rong Tang's attention fell on Su Huaijing's hands that were still scabbed and were about to be blistered, and he was accidentally hit forward crookedly.

Su Huaijing immediately reached out and grabbed Rong Tang's shoulder, looked forward quite sharply, and stared at Ke Hongxue with a dead gaze, without the easy-going and quiet pretense of half-disguise.

Ke Hongxue was stunned, realized that he had caused trouble, and immediately took a half step back, and apologized after correcting his face: "It was me who was abrupt and collided with the prince of the world, and the two of them want to be punished, Ke has no words."

Ke Hongxue's pair of peach blossoms are extremely beautiful, I heard that his mother is an orphan girl rescued by Ke Xuebo when he was in business in Jiangnan, and she has both the gentleness and affection of a southern woman, and a bit of the strength and stubbornness unique to a lonely person, Ke Hongxue's appearance is very similar to her.

Young Master Ke used to smile, and those peach blossom eyes were used by him to look at the past as if he could talk to hook people, rarely when he was so serious, Rong Tang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously spoke: "It's okay."

Su Huaijing was like a beast that had been smoothed out, the fierceness in his eyes instantly retreated, raised his hand to smooth the wrinkles on Rong Tang's clothes, put away the handkerchief, and left from the clean hand.

Ke Hongxue was still a little unspeakably afraid, paced to Mu Jingxu's side, and called in a low voice: "Senior brother."

Mu Jingxu raised his eyes and glanced at him, and asked, "Idle?"

Knowing that Ning Xuan Wang Shizi was such an untouchable body, he had to stick it again and again like a dog skin plaster, if he hadn't really knocked people out, now I don't know if he would be able to stand here properly.

/>

He paused, and Mu Jingxu stared at him.

Ke Hongxue laughed: "I just think it seems that there is really a fate in a past life."

As soon as he saw Rong Tang, he felt that this little prince and he should be in the same way, so it was suitable for climbing high and looking at the stars today.

How...... Is it a sick seedling who doesn't live long?

Thinking of this, Ke Hongxue's expression became indifferent again, and she glanced at Mu Jingxu. The senior brother seems to have lost some weight again.
