Ji Mingyuan was furious, but he had nothing to do with Xu Qingze.
It’s true that he is a prince, but the most powerful biters in the court are civil servants. They are proud of not being afraid of the powerful. Hurry up and lock them up and discipline them", the emperor heard, oh, well done, and finally found an excuse to circle them up. So the monarch and his ministers sang together, the civil servants gained the reputation of being outspoken and admonishing, and the emperor felt relieved.
If Ji Yu was not too weak to control the courtiers, how could he have the chance to walk around. It would be fine if he liked someone else, but the one he wanted to play with was Prime Minister Xu's son.
Who is Prime Minister Xu? He is not very old, but he has a father who is a veteran of the three dynasties. His father is a famous Confucianist in the world. Prime Minister Xu was generous but fierce in methods, everyone respected him and obeyed him, and Ji Yu relied heavily on him.
Although Xu Qingze is only sixteen years old, he has faintly become a leader among the current group of scholars. Who dares to lay his mind on him
It's no wonder that Xu Qingze dared to "cut off the feet of his sons and grandchildren", people are not afraid of him at all.
Of course, Xu Qingze still underestimated him.
He is no ordinary prince.
Ji Mingyuan is really interested now.
Ji Mingyuan settled down near Xu's residence, and deliberately chose the one closest to Xu Qingze's courtyard, and called musicians and dancers to sing and sing every night, so he was happy. The melodious music of silk and bamboo floated across the wall, making Xu Qingze unable to clean himself up. He sent the Shutong to talk about it several times, but the Shutong was dismissed without even seeing anyone.
As a last resort, Xu Qingze had no choice but to go out in person to see the owner of the neighbor. Go to the doorman and report your name, and the doorman said politely: "Mr. Xu will come with the young one. Our master has been waiting for you."
Xu Qingze frowned. He followed the doorman through the courtyard to the open vestibule. Sitting in the hall was a man wearing a purple robe with the skirt slightly open, with several beauties nestling beside him. He rested his head on the beauty's chest, and seemed to enjoy the soft "pillow" very much.
Blue veins appeared on Xu Qingze's forehead slightly. It's this guy again! Knowing that he is still in the filial piety period, but deliberately singing and dancing here, it is clear that he wants to attract him.
Ji Mingyuan seemed very surprised: "Hey, Mr. Xu is here?" He raised his lips and his eyes lingered wantonly on Xu Qingze. If Xu Qingze hadn't angered him, he wouldn't have much interest in such a tough guy. It's different now, now he must get someone! Ji Mingyuan waved his hand, and commanded very considerately, "You can't drink a bar? Come here and pour a cup of tea for Mr. Xu."
"No need," Xu Qingze sullenly said, "I just—"
Ji Mingyuan interrupted with a smile: "I don't like standing and talking, if you have something to say to me, just sit down."
Xu Qingze's face was full of anger.
Regardless of his expression, Ji Mingyuan let the beauty next to him feed him a drink. The beauty has a delicate body and soft body, leaning into Ji Mingyuan's arms, with slender jade fingers, holding the wine glass to Ji Mingyuan's lips. Ji Mingyuan drank the wine in the glass with a smile, and sucked the beauty's fingers along the way, making the beauty smile again and again, as if her boneless body was closer to Ji Mingyuan.
This unsightly obscenity scene made Xu Qingze want to turn around and leave. He clenched his fists and sat down on the seat next to him.
Seeing him sitting down, Ji Mingyuan gently pushed away the beauty who was leaning over. The two beauties who had received his order just now served Xu Qingze tea and fruits, one on the left and the other on the right.
Xu Qingze only felt the fragrance wafting through his nostrils. After all, he is only a young man in his teens, and the Xu family's family style is very strict, so he has experienced such a fight. It can even be said that he has hardly seen girls except his mother. Although in the dream they were married, it was just a dream after all, how could it compare to the living beauty in front of them
Xu Qingze's face turned red.
It was the first time for the two beauties to see such an upright young man, and they couldn't help getting closer, their towering chests almost touching Xu Qingze's body. Xu Qingze wanted to push them away, but found that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he would touch something that shouldn't be touched, so he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Ji Mingyuan deliberately asked the beauty to serve him just to see Xu Qingze's embarrassment, but when he saw Xu Qingze's blushing face being touched by the beauty, a cluster of evil flames burst into his heart inexplicably.
He didn't touch anyone, but let these women touch him! Thinking about Xu Qingze later married a wife and had children, how could it be torture to be surrounded by two beauties? This guy is embarrassed on the face, but he may be happy in his heart. Otherwise, how could he be pushed away, but the two delicate and weak beauties couldn't be pushed away
Ji Mingyuan threw the cup on the ground.
The beauties were startled and moved away from Xu Qingze.
Xu Qingze breathed a sigh of relief.
Ji Mingyuan told all the beauties to retreat. He walked to Xu Qingze's side and poured a cup of tea for Xu Qingze himself: "I was the one who was abrupt last time, and I'll use tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
Xu Qingze paused, not quite believing Ji Mingyuan's sudden "apology".
Ji Mingyuan said, "What? Are you afraid that I'll eat you?" He swept across Xu Qingze's body with his naked eyes, and even stretched out his hand to grab Xu Qingze and pinch him twice, "Do you think you are more attractive than the beauties just now?"
Xu Qingze shook off Ji Mingyuan's hand, his eyes became even more angry: "What exactly do you want?"
Ji Mingyuan said: "Didn't I just say that? I want to apologize to you, Qingze." He picked up the tea on the table again, "After you drink this cup of tea, I will never trouble you again. The world is fun There are so many things, if I didn't want to ask for your forgiveness, how could I live here for so long. "
When Ji Mingyuan said it firmly, Xu Qingze looked at the tea handed to him with suspicion.
Ji Mingyuan said: "Are you afraid that I will poison you? Do I look like someone who does that kind of thing? Since you doubt me so much," his expression was a little hurt, and his tone was full of sadness, "Then to reassure you, I will Let's drink this cup first."
After speaking, Ji Mingyuan drank the tea in one gulp.
Ji Mingyuan poured Xu Qingze another cup of tea.
Ji Mingyuan had already talked to this extent, so Xu Qingze could only take the tea that Ji Mingyuan handed over, and drink it up slowly. The tea is good tea, the fragrance of the tea is clear, and the mouth is full of sweetness, but it always feels a little weird...
Xu Qingze was about to get up to say goodbye, but felt dizzy for a while. When he tried to stand up forcefully, his body swayed and fell into Ji Mingyuan's arms.
Ji Mingyuan sat there in a leisurely manner, smiled "ah", and said, "Qingze, you actually threw yourself into my arms, I'm really flattered." He gently stroked Xu Qingze's soft long hair, along the top of the hair Going down, pressed on the back of Xu Qingze's neck, rubbing it up and down, "Since you love me so much, I'll accept it reluctantly."
Although Xu Qingze's limbs were weak, he still had some clear consciousness. Hearing Ji Mingyuan's shameless words, he wished he could cripple Ji Mingyuan's lower body so that Ji Mingyuan could no longer do evil.
He never thought that Ji Mingyuan could actually do such a thing!
Ji Mingyuan didn't think his actions were shameful. He could have whatever he wanted since he was a child, and even Ji Yu didn't dare to say a word about him. He didn't mind admitting that someone did bad things in his name. After all, Ji Yu didn't dare to question him. If he really wanted to provoke him, he could easily take the throne.
As for the rampant corruption of officials and the misery of the people, what does it have to do with him? It is not his world, nor is it his country. He will never do the hard work of punishing evil and promoting good, unless they prevent him from enjoying it.
Ji Mingyuan picked up Xu Qingze, smelling the fragrance from the person in his arms, feeling inexplicably displeased. This guy looks upright and honest, but in fact he is quite attractive. Those scholars treat him more and more eagerly, and those dancers are so fascinated by him that they forget their identities and occasions and keep going. Get close to him.
really—
It's really annoying.
This guy's heart of stone is only for him, right
Ji Mingyuan carried Xu Qingze back to the room, put him on the bed, and carefully looked at Xu Qingze's handsome face. This appearance was obviously not the best, but it was like a magnet, attracting his gaze and not letting him move away.
It is easy for him to chase and change as in his dream. The people gathered below each have their own ambitions and greed. It is easy to indulge them to commit crimes, but it is impossible to integrate them. . If it wasn't for stupidly wanting to prove it to Xu Qingze, how could he have lost in his dream
It stands to reason that there is a warning from the dream, and he should stay away from Xu Qingze, but when he sees someone, he can't help but want to get closer. How could he not get what he wanted? Thinking of that unwillingness and that deep longing, Ji Mingyuan still felt a little unbelievable.
It should be easy to get if you want it. Ji Mingyuan untied Xu Qingze's skirt, and was about to enjoy it, but was kicked hard by the person under him, and fell off the bed.
Ji Mingyuan couldn't believe it. He stood up and saw that Xu Qingze's long hair had been scattered on his shoulders, and Xu Qingze was holding the jasper hairpin he had brought in his hand. The hairpin was not sharp, but it was stained with bright red blood.
Xu Qingze sat on the bed, with the blood winding down his wrist, which looked a little shocking.
Xu Qingze's gaze was as cold as ice, and he met Ji Mingyuan's astonished gaze directly. Perhaps it was because he had lost a lot of blood, his face was pale, his lips were blue, and his brows were full of condensation that made one dare not look directly at him. Ji Mingyuan felt as if a cold blade had been pierced into his chest.
How could there be such a person in the world.
Seducing him with profit and motivating him with affection can't shake this person in the slightest. In the face of this despicable persecution, this person is desperate to stay awake even if he dies with blood. With such a person, it's no wonder that he can still lure him into a murderous situation when he knows and agrees with him.
This person is so cruel to himself, how can he not be cruel to others
Ji Mingyuan originally thought that Xu Qingze would never publicize this kind of thing, but now it is different, if Xu Qingze dies here, he will be finished.
Xu Qingze is not only Prime Minister Xu's beloved son, he is also quite famous among scholars. Xu Qingze was really going to die here, and Ji Yu would never let go of this great opportunity to deal with him.
Ji Mingyuan scolded: "Xu Qingze, you are really capable." He tore off a section of his sleeve and wanted to tie Xu Qingze's wound tightly first, but Xu Qingze coldly pushed it away.
Having seen Ji Mingyuan's shamelessness, how could Xu Qingze let him approach him again.
Ji Mingyuan had nothing to do, so he could only order someone to call for a doctor. The doctor who came was from the mansion, with a strict mouth, he didn't ask much when he saw this situation, he just looked at the wound, looked at the "murder weapon", and silently cleaned up Xu Qingze's wound.
Xu Qingze has always been able to bear it, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. The clothes were stained with blood, it was not good to go back like this, Xu Qingze looked at Ji Mingyuan and told him to get someone to prepare a white dress.
Since he wanted to "taste it", Ji Mingyuan was naturally prepared and ordered someone to fetch it immediately.
Seeing Xu Qingze's calm expression, the old doctor was quite surprised: "Your wound is not shallow."
Xu Qingze didn't even frown. Facing the elderly doctor, he was not easy to vent his anger, so he could only politely say: "Thank you doctor."
Ji Mingyuan felt that piercing pain surge up again.
You have to be taught to be more polite, so that you don't show half a bit of pain and disgust in this situation.
Ji Mingyuan was really a little shocked.
How can there be such a person in the world
It's downright silly.
If he hadn't been born in Prime Minister Xu's family, he would have lived a very hard life. Like now, if this guy wasn't Prime Minister Xu's son, he wouldn't let him go so easily. Who would care about the life and death of a half-grown boy? As far as he knew, his uncles and brothers had lost their lives. Not to mention the royal family and nobles, even those who have some power and money are like this. If something really happened, someone would take the place of the dead ghost.
No no, even if he is Prime Minister Xu's son, he can hide everything.
I just can't bear it. The anger lingering in Ji Mingyuan's heart these days cooled down, replaced by an unspeakable daze.
No matter how much he denied it, Xu Qingze was indeed deeply attracted to him. He thought it was Xu Qingze's body that attracted him, and he would stop thinking about it when he got it, but at this moment he suddenly realized that he was reluctant. Seeing Xu Qingze stabbed his wrist in order to protect himself, he wished that the wound fell on the body himself.
Only then did Ji Mingyuan realize how big a mistake he had made. He miscalculated Xu Qingze's attraction to him.
If what he wanted was not Xu Qingze's body, then after he did such a thing, would he have cut off all possibilities between them? Ji Mingyuan's expression changed again and again, and finally he and the doctor retreated together, asking Xu Qingze to change into clean clothes.
Xu Qingze looked at the faded bloody clothes, and then at the brand new white robes on his body, how could he not understand what Ji Mingyuan was up to? He knew that Ji Mingyuan's behavior was absurd, but he didn't know how absurd it could be!
Xu Qingze opened the door and walked out, seeing Ji Mingyuan hesitating in front of the door, he sneered: "Xu remembers what the prince did."
Ji Mingyuan never spends time regretting. Hearing what Xu Qingze said, he didn't panic, his eyes were bright: "Oh? Is that so? I'm very happy to have a place in Qingze's heart."
Xu Qingze was dumbfounded.
Seeing Xu Qingze's surprised look, Ji Mingyuan was in a good mood. He laughed and said, "I was born like this. I want what I want. I never think about the consequences. I did what happened today. If you hate me Hate me, I am not wronged." He thought about it very much, "You and I are such a person, if you want me to be wronged like in our 'dream', what is the point of living? I like you very much now, but I don't like it as much as in the 'dream'."
Xu Qingze's eyes were a little confused. He looked at Ji Mingyuan in front of him.
What Ji Mingyuan attracted him at the beginning was probably his dissolute and indulgent temperament.
Ji Mingyuan is definitely not a good person. He is greedy for pleasure, knows no good or evil, and tries his best to get what he wants.
They are two completely opposite people. Ji Mingyuan doesn't agree with his idea, and he doesn't agree with Ji Mingyuan's idea either.
Hearing Ji Mingyuan say "I don't like it that much", Xu Qingze breathed a sigh of relief. In the dream, his feelings for Ji Mingyuan were more like envy, envying that Ji Mingyuan can live so recklessly and unrestrainedly.
But he was always trapped in a cage.
It's just that what Ji Mingyuan did today was too much.
What's more, this guy has no regrets!
Somehow, Xu Qingze thought of the phrase "I'm changing it".
Will this person really change
Xu Qingze didn't think he could have such a great ability to make Ji Mingyuan change his temper and let go of his ambition.
Let someone else do that kind of thing.
Xu Qingze took a deep breath and looked at Ji Ming calmly: "If the prince is willing to move away from here, it will be as if what happened today has never happened."
Ji Mingyuan smiled even more: "Don't you think I won't be able to stay here for a long time? It's not very interesting here, so I won't stay for a long time."
Xu Qingze didn't quite believe it.
Ji Mingyuan's eyes fell on Xu Qingze's bandaged arm. He said: "This kind of thing is better if you want me to. Since you don't want to, I won't force it."
Ji Mingyuan's words were high-sounding, as if the person who tried to attack just now was not him.
Xu Qingze was relieved when he saw that Ji Mingyuan's eyes were clear and did not seem to be fake, and said goodbye to Ji Mingyuan with a wooden face.
Seeing Xu Qingze say goodbye politely, Ji Mingyuan felt even more surprised. In all fairness, if such a thing happened to him, he would never let the other party go easily, let alone say goodbye to the other party as politely and thoughtfully as Xu Qingze.
This kid is really tired.
Ji Mingyuan felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
He was a little uncomfortable with Xu Qingze's behavior, and felt a little distressed. How can you live like this when you are only a teenager
Sure enough, Xu Qingze never heard the music again in the next few days. After a while, he heard the news that Ji Mingyuan had left the capital to play, saying that he had gone to the north to see the snow. Xu Qingze heaved a sigh of relief, and for some reason, an inexplicable envy grew in his heart.
Living like Ji Mingyuan must be very happy.
When Xu Qingze was thinking this way, a guard rushed to the north, and the other party tied a big box on the horse, saying that he wanted to see Xu Qingze. Xu Qingze felt baffled, and waited for the other party to open the box, only to find that there was an exquisitely carved ice lantern inside. Maybe it was because of the severe cold all the way, or maybe it was because the other party used some method, but the ice lamp didn't melt at all.
Delicate plum blossoms were carved out of the crystal clear ice, and a silver candlestick was vaguely visible inside, with a white candle already on it. It was late at night, and if the candles were lit, they would be able to appreciate the wonderful ice lanterns carefully.
Xu Qingze vaguely guessed who sent the lamp, hesitated for a moment, and asked someone to carry the lamp into the house.
Seeing that Xu Qingze put down the lamp, the guard immediately took out the letter from his arms, handed it to Xu Qingze, and said, "This is a letter from our prince to Mr. Xu." As he spoke, he only looked at Xu Qingze expectantly, obviously wanting Xu Qingze to reply to a letter.
Xu Qingze was usually the worst at rejecting others. Thinking that the other party was just running errands, he sighed and went into the study to open the letter.
The letter is very simple, to the effect that I passed by a certain place and saw the beautiful ice lanterns there, so I learned how to make one and let someone show it to you. You should like plum blossoms, right? Do you think my craft is good
Xu Qingze glanced at the plum blossoms engraved on the ice lantern, and remembered that Ji Mingyuan's calligraphy and painting were indeed outstanding, and he had given him a lot of advice in "dreams". It's just that the Ji Mingyuan in the dream and outside the dream are completely different people - which one is the real Ji Mingyuan
Xu Qingze looked outside the door, the guard was still standing there, the snow was falling all the time, it was almost below his boots, but he still remained motionless.
Xu Qingze had someone sharpen his ink, and wrote back a letter to Ji Mingyuan. His letter was written more simply, to the effect of "thank you, don't send it next time".
After the messenger left, Xu Qingze sat in front of the ice lantern for a long time before lighting the candle. Orange candlelight leaked from the ice lamp, casting faint plum shadows around. The plum blossoms were carved very well, and it can be seen that they were very hardworking. Xu Qingze watched the flame melt the ice lamp bit by bit, and sighed a long way.
They all saw the "future".
None of them wanted the "future" to repeat itself.
So they all tried their best to erase the throbbing in their hearts, and tried their best to tell themselves that the other party was not the person they wanted.
As if as long as I did this, everything in the dream would not exist.
Good times are fleeting, and good dreams are easy to wake up.
Even if they do it all over again, how can they spend the rest of their lives hand in hand without any scruples
Thinking of this, Xu Qingze thought of Ji Jinrong and Wei Tingjun again. He and Ji Mingyuan dreamed about all of that, but what about Ji Jinrong and Wei Tingjun? Did they dream too? At the beginning of autumn, Concubine Ruan Gui brought Ji Jinrong home to visit her relatives, which never happened in her dream. He remembered that Ji Jinrong was bedridden for a long time and never showed up, let alone running around like this.
Is Ji Jinrong in good health? Thinking of Ji Jinrong's wonderful opportunity, Xu Qingze felt at ease, and prepared to find a chance to meet Ji Jinrong.
It didn't take long before the opportunity presented itself.
Xu Qingze is rare in talent and fame, Emperor Ji Yu's birthday is approaching, Prime Minister Xu came back from court and said: "Your Majesty asked you to enter the palace to have a banquet together, I won't say much about the etiquette, you are always the last person to worry about. "
Xu Qingze's heart moved, and he prepared carefully, waiting for the arrival of Ji Yu's birthday.
It was a sunny day, and Xu Qingze entered the palace with Prime Minister Xu. This palace invited the emperor's relatives and important ministers, which was not as casual as ordinary banquets. Xu Qingze followed closely behind Prime Minister Xu, and waited with the others for the arrival of Ji Yu and his party.
There has been a lot of movement in the palace recently, the crown prince annoyed Ji Yu, and he is still grounded, and the empress's natal family has also been punished by Ji Yu. Now many ministers have heard the news, and some courtiers who had clearly expressed their support for the prince already had other ideas, but they were all old foxes, and no one showed it.
Originally thought that when Ji Yu's birthday came, the empress and the crown prince should be lifted from the confinement. He didn't want to wait until Ji Yu came, but the one who followed her was not the empress, but Concubine Ruan.
Concubine Ruan Gui came back from visiting relatives, and her rank was raised by one level, and she became a noble concubine. And the fifth prince, Ji Jinrong, is also as precious as his mother, so he is quite favored by Ji Yu. No, Ji Yu actually appeared at the birthday banquet with Ji Jinrong in his arms.
Although Xu Qingze had expected it, he was still shocked by this scene. He remembered that Ji Jinrong and Ji Yu had an indifferent relationship, and they would not see each other several times a year. He did not expect that in just a few months, their father and son would become so close.
Even the father and son of ordinary families are not necessarily so close.
Xu Qingze was happy for Ji Jinrong.
He had accompanied Ji Jinrong who was on the sick bed, and he knew how lonely Ji Jinrong had been.
Xu Qingze looked at Ji Jinrong with a smile.
Ji Jinrong quickly noticed Xu Qingze's gaze.
Ji Jinrong searched among the crowd for a while, and then saw Xu Qingze, who was only in his teens. Xu Qingze's gaze was still as gentle as in memory.
Thinking of the letter Xu Qingze left for him, Ji Jinrong felt a pain in his heart. Xu Qingze is kind to everyone and considerate in everything he does, but he is very cruel to himself. Xu Qingze never cares about what he wants, his mood, or his life.
Meeting those familiar eyes, Ji Jinrong knew that Xu Qingze also remembered him.
Xu Qingze is also back.
Ji Jinrong waited until Ji Yu got busy, then slipped over quietly, and took Xu Qingze's hand with his soft palm.
Xu Qingze was taken aback for a moment, seeing that it was Ji Jinrong, he called out softly, "Your Highness Fifth."
Ji Jinrong stretched out his short arms to hug Xu Qingze.
It's good to be young, and you don't have to worry about doing anything.
Xu Qingze's heart softened.
Only then did Prime Minister Xu realize that Ji Jinrong had run over. Seeing Ji Jinrong hugging Xu Qingze, Prime Minister Xu was a little surprised.
He remembered that his son didn't seem to have seen this Fifth Highness before
At this time, Emperor Ji Yu also noticed that Ji Jinrong had slipped away. Ji Yu was not angry, but laughed and joked: "This child, A Jin, loves to hug anyone who is good-looking. A few days ago, Tie Chuan brought Ting Jun into the palace, and A Jin also hugged him. This is Qing Ze? It seems that Ah Jin likes you very much, and she won't want Ting Jun after seeing you."
Wei Tiechuan is Wei Tingjun's father, sitting opposite Xu Cheng. Ji Jinrong raised his head from Xu Qingze's arms, and saw Wei Tingjun's face was extremely stinky, sitting there looking at him, as if trying to pull him off Xu Qingze's body.
Hearing Ji Yu's joke, Ji Jinrong felt that his father was quite perceptive, so he stabbed a hornet's nest.
Ji Jinrong got down from Xu Qingze's body in a hurry, and only reached out to grab Xu Qingze's palm. He had been worried that Xu Qingze would disappear completely. If that was the case, he would find it hard to accept. Knowing that Xu Qingze was still there, Ji Jinrong naturally wanted to spend more time with Xu Qingze.
Ji Jinrong reluctantly returned to Ruan Lingyun's side until Ji Yu sent his servants over to let him sit at the table.
Ruan Lingyun always pampered him, and she was not angry. Instead, she asked, "Do you like brother Tingjun more or brother Qingze?"
Ji Jinrong said without hesitation: "I like them all!"
On the second day, Ji Jinrong saw Wei Tingjun and Xu Qingze in the study place.
Wei Tingjun's face was as black as charcoal, while Xu Qingze was all smiles.
