"Menghe!"
Passing by the palace garden, Meng He stopped Jiang Heng.
Meng He, Lang Huang, Shan Ze and Shui Jun were talking and laughing in the garden. The liveliness of the people seems to be impossible. Today, Geng Shu is clearly refusing to marry again. Prince Taki is in a closed room to discuss countermeasures. As a party, Geng Shu is actually indifferent.
When the four of them saw Geng Shu and Jiang Heng, they were somewhat embarrassed. Geng Shu asked, "What are you doing?"
"." Meng He shifted the question and motioned for Jiang Heng to come to pick up the things in the garden.
Jiang Heng was shocked when he saw the two huge black bears.
"This..." Jiang Heng said, "Are you crazy? How did you get the bears into the palace?! Get them both!"
Meng He spoke Chinese fluently and asked, "Have you forgotten them? For you! Congratulations!"
Jiang Heng: "..."
Geng Shu was also a little caught off guard. The two black bears stood up, they were a head taller than they were, and weighed four or five hundred pounds. The two bears had iron chains tied around their necks, and were pushing and shoving each other in the garden. A slap can knock a person's head off.
"Have you grown so big?" Geng Shu said in disbelief.
Jiang Heng also remembered, more than a few years ago, he traveled outside the Great Wall, and he rescued the two bears. They were brought home by Meng He to raise them. Meng He said that they were adopted for a period of time. will be sent back to .
"Ah..." Jiang Heng said, "Eat, what did you eat to grow so big? Really, really amazing."
"Eat meat." Meng He asked to lead him in the past, "Come here, do you recognize you?"
"No, no, no!" Everyone turned pale in unison, stopping Meng He's dangerous move. Geng Shu immediately stood in front of Jiang Heng, even if the martial arts were unparalleled, it would still be dangerous to fight with two black bears weighing four to five hundred kilograms.
"Let it go... let it go." Jiang Heng said, "Well, it's very good. He looks fat and strong."
Meng He brought these two bears and planned to give them to Geng Shu as a surprise for their wedding, but everyone was surprised and happy when they saw it, so they had to say, "Okay! Just let them take care of them. Bar!"
Everyone had the same look, and shouted together, "Don't put it here!"
The two black bears ran into the city, not just for fun. Jiang Heng said: "Looking for the sky... Look for the sky to go far away, find someone to go up to the mountain, Yubi Pass!"
Meng He asked Jiang Heng to come and touch them. Jiang Heng had to be brave and stretched out his hand, while Geng Shu kept his vigilance. Fortunately, the two bears were well tamed by Meng He. The key is to fill the stomach and be lazy Yang Yang raised his head and sniffed, squinting his eyes and letting Jiang Heng touch his nose in turn.
"I smell you," Meng He said. "It's your own. Do you want to play with it? Put a saddle on them and let you ride?"
"No." Jiang Heng refused decisively and said, "Just... That's it, um, okay, you really have a heart, Meng He."
However, Geng Shu found that Lang Huang was in the room, raised his eyebrows and asked, Lang Huang pointed to the main hall, meaning that you caused a lot of trouble.
It was late at night, shortly after Jiang Heng came back, he was summoned by the Crown Prince Taki to enter the hall. There were all the civil servants in the hall, but none of the generals were present today.
Prince Taki looked at Jiang Heng as if he had known this for a long time. In this case, his doubts were largely resolved.
"Have you come to a conclusion?" Jiang Heng asked.
Prince Taki nodded, and with his eyes signaled Jiang Heng to believe in himself, and he would try his best to solve it.
"This is what His Highness Xu Miao said in person." Zeng Rong learned from Prince Taki, and he also had a headache, but Jiang Heng observed the expressions of the courtiers and knew that Prince Taki had many branches. Just tell the courtiers that Geng Shu doesn't want to get married, that's all.
Cover up the rest for Geng Shu, otherwise once the publicity spreads, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
"Then, you have to find it yourself." Jiang Heng replied.
The sound of footsteps, Jiang Heng heard the familiar footsteps, and knew that Geng Shu was coming. He had entered the hall, but just stood guard outside the hall like a guard.
"Brother," said Prince Taki, "come in."
"Don't come in," Geng Shu said outside, "I'm right here, I'll wait for Heng'er, you guys can talk."
Yawen Bar
There was silence in the hall for a while, which was unexpected for everyone. After all, since the past dynasties, not only the Yong Dynasty, but the whole world is the same, and almost no one has refused to marry. The family affairs of the lord and the Qing family are no longer their own business, but the world's affairs. Speechless, let alone Prince Geng Shuyi
But since Geng Shu made a decision, Prince Taki knew that forcing was also useful, and when he asked Geng Shu, "Is it true?", he has always been serious, after all, there are so few people. , never joking.
At least Geng Shu won't joke with him, Prince Taki has absolute respect, what he says is what he says.
"Then let's think about it," said Prince Taki, "how to appease the Lord Frost, and whether there is another way."
Zeng Rong said, "I can only invite her to be the king."
"The war is over." Jiang Heng said, "She can't be a king, and she won't be, otherwise, she will definitely become a big relative."
Zhou You couldn't help but said: "Mr. Jiang, it was you who wanted to truce and negotiate at the beginning, and now it is you who wanted to start a war. You said everything, so shameless?"
Jiang Heng has always regarded Zhou You as an opponent, and sneered: "Master Zhou, if you are the one who gets married, then it's your turn to decide what to do."
Everyone naturally understood what Jiang Heng meant. There were only two people who were eligible for marriage, one was Geng Shu; The power rests with them, and naturally the two have the final say.
Zeng Rong said: "It is still possible to restrict Li's entry into the dynasty. It is beneficial."
This is a naked power match. Everyone can no longer hide it. We must make it clear that Prince Taki and Ji Shuang are married. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the next
Zhou You said solemnly: "The next generation, you, will be the righteous emperor. This is the only benefit."
Ji Shuang is the only member of the Ji family today. She and Prince Taki's children will also have the inheritance rights of Shenzhou. Unify.
Prince Taki said to Jiang Heng, "I remember when the emperor handed over the golden seal to you..."
"Do you want to get married?" Jiang Heng said suddenly.
Everyone is analysing the pros and cons, just like facing Geng Shu, but only someone cares, and the parties' own wishes, naturally, and no one cares about Ji Shuang's wishes.
Prince Taki avoided and did not answer, but smiled instead: "As a lord, you should have something that you can't let go of."
"This is not a king's way." Jiang Heng said solemnly.
Everyone was silent, Jiang Heng said: "At the beginning of the reform, you and I made an oath to let people have their own choices. As a king, you can't be independent, how can you let your people be independent?"
"What's more," Jiang Heng said to the crowd, "the emperor asked me to hold the golden seal to help any monarch, eliminate major disputes and chaos, and even establish himself as the emperor on the premise that there is a suitable candidate..."
When this came out, everyone was in an uproar, but Jiang Heng's bright voice suppressed the discussion.
"...But the only one who mentioned anyone from the Ji family." Jiang Hengdao, "The kingship is not inherited by blood, and even has nothing to do with the golden seal. Whoever the kingship belongs to is the emperor. The key lies in you. hold on to something."
"Although Dai has a large number of troops," Geng Shu said outside the building, "Yong people are not afraid of them, so let them come."
Prince Taki sighed and looked at Jiang Heng with a bit of loneliness in his eyes.
"Let's discuss it again." Prince Taki said that he had already made a decision today to get married for Geng Shu. The purpose of having Jiang Heng come is to hope that either Geng Shu or Jiang Heng can persuade Ji Shuang and give both parties a step down.
But at Jiang Heng's insistence, Prince Taki realized that maybe this was not the best way.
"Heng'er stay." Prince Taki said, "Brother, you can go back too."
The courtiers dispersed one after another, and Geng Shu, who was outside, also disappeared. Jiang Heng was still standing. Inside the Anyang Palace, the setting sun shone in front of them. took a few steps and looked at the jade.
It was supposed to be, but never had it, even briefly. For , the most familiar is another piece of Yin Jue on Geng Shu's body.
Yang Jue was so unfamiliar.
In these days, Jiang Heng thought about it himself, if he was the prince in the world, would he marry Ji Shuang for the ultimate destination of the world? Just as Yang Jue should have belonged to the family, this problem originally belonged to the family.
Prince Taki said, "I can do this for our brother."
"Who have you liked?" Jiang Heng suddenly said, "Brother, do you have someone you like? You want to be with someone you really like."
Jiang Heng is very clear about one thing from beginning to end - Prince Taki is his cousin, and he and he are blood relatives. Even if his father and Jiang Heng do not deal with each other, since people are dead, they are all gone. .
They are two brothers, just like Mrs. Jiang said, Juicy is the family. She is only one year older than her. On the day they first met, Prince Taki's heart was even more naive than Jiang Heng's, but in this case, she was always playing an unfamiliar role, and she played it well. Almost lost myself.
Prince Taki looked at Jiang Heng quietly.
"Yes." Prince Taki said most.
Jiang Heng said: "You have a long road ahead."
"My father doesn't like my mother very much," Prince Taki forced a smile and said, "I have been for a long time, and I don't know what it's like to be together with two people I really like."
Jiang Heng whispered, "Brother."
"Relationship." Prince Taki said with a smile, "Yes, I think, you are not like my cousin, but like a real brother. Even my brother never gave me this feeling."
Prince Taki patted Jiang Heng on the shoulder again and said, "But now, I've come to know gradually, because Nie Hai loves you very much. In those four, I know that I miss you every day. When you came back, you looked at you with a look that was different from that of anyone else. Your demeanor has changed, and so has your person. It's like a cold statue inside."
Jiang Heng was silent, and Prince Taki said, "I heard the story today, and I knew that sooner or later, I would tell me that. Instead, a stone fell in my heart."
Jiang Heng left the main hall, still thinking about what Prince Taki said.
Geng Shu stood under the lamp, folded his arms and waited, when he heard him approaching, he looked towards him.
"What did Juicy say?" Geng Shu said.
"I didn't say anything." Jiang Heng told Geng Shu more things and returned to the room.
Geng Shu glanced at the vision guide, moved his lips slightly, and asked him to "go out" with his lips. Jie Gui got up with a smile and sighed.
"This time when I refuse to marry, a federation will be held immediately," Jiang Heng said in a low voice, sitting on the couch, "I can't wait any longer."
Jiang Heng raised his head and looked at Geng Shu: "You have to go in person and formally speak to Ji Shuang. This is your responsibility."
"Brother needs courage," Geng Shu said to Jiang Heng, "give me courage."
Jiang Heng: "…"
Under the familiar feeling, Jiang Heng's heart jumped wildly again, and Prince Taki's voice still seemed to echo in his ears. In that, every late night, how did Geng Shu toss and turn in the icy dormitory? , how to suffer the torment of life rather than death.
It was twelve, and when Jiang Heng opened the mansion, it seemed that this moment was doomed.
Jiang Heng gently grabbed Geng Shu's collar, leaned in, and kissed his lips.
"Is it enough?" Jiang Heng said softly.
Geng Shu turned his face away, looked at Jiang Heng, turned his head for a moment, and squinted his eyes.
"Not enough." Geng Shu whispered.
Jiang Heng's heart was beating wildly, and he got up, stood in front of Geng Shu, took off his robe, and then put on a single shirt and underpants, just like every time he took a bath or changed clothes in front of him.
Geng Shu's breath suddenly increased, and he looked up at Jiang Heng's jade-like body, with cherishing and admiration in his eyes. I have touched Jiang Heng's body countless times. Every time before, Jiang Heng was Jiang Heng, but this time, Jiang Heng belonged to Jiang Heng.
Jiang Heng was so embarrassed, Jun blushed to the neck, closed his eyes tightly, not daring to meet Geng Shu's gaze, as if as long as he closed his eyes, the lights would go out, and the world turned into a self-deceiving darkness.
…
"Don't you like to play?" In this silence, Geng Shu finally said the first sentence.
Jiang Heng stroked Geng Shu's side face, and all the tension disappeared. Instead, it was as if two pieces of jade were separated from each other. light sound.
suddenly remembered many times before, in Luoyang Palace, when Geng Shu returned to the dormitory after his shift, and slept with him. Those people were still young and didn't understand anything. It snowed all night in winter and the bedding was very thin, so Geng Shu hugged him tightly, hugged him in his arms, and used his body temperature to warm him. .
When Jiang Heng liked to rub against Geng Shu, although he didn't know what it meant, he felt very comfortable. Geng Shu was irritated and tried to stop him several times, but his instinct kept him close to Jiang Heng until Jiang Heng fell asleep.
When I was thinking about it, Jiang Heng suddenly realized that, if we let those days continue and get the most, the moment when we have to wait to the end, isn't it... right now
"What are you thinking?" Geng Shu regained his sanity and looked into Jiang Heng's eyes, feeling a little nervous.
"It doesn't seem like that?" In Jiang Heng's memory, it seemed that Geng Shu was different from "doing this kind of thing".
…
"Stop playing." Geng Shu whispered, "Sleep."
Jiang Heng experienced it twice in a row, his heart was beating extremely fast. In the tent, there was Geng Shu's aggressive smell, as if it had formed a territory and protected him within this territory.
"A little tired." Jiang Heng said.
"You obviously moved." Geng Shu put his arms around him, not letting Jiang Hengxu leave his embrace, and said, "It's me who moved."
"I'll be tired too." Jiang Heng couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry.
Geng Shu said, "That's not what I meant, I mean... I'm afraid you're tired, so just go to sleep."
Jiang Heng has gone through all kinds of tests in the world today, and until this moment, he was finally exhausted. He only shrank into Geng Shu's arms, leaning on his strong arms, while Geng Shu couldn't hold back his excitement, and his heart was still beating wildly.
In this life, I finally have nothing to ask for, and I finally have what I want. From now on, I will no longer hate my own destiny, and I will never hate anyone else.
The next morning, Jiang Heng woke up and heard the sound of the piano playing in the courtyard.
Geng Shu, who was beside him, was nowhere to be seen. Jiang Heng sat up sleepily, forgetting what happened last night. Geng Shu's body temperature remained in the blanket, but he was not seen, as if he had returned to many places. When Geng Shu was earning wages to support his family in Luoyang—
- At that time, Geng Shu only had one set of clothes to change and washed. He often made his coats sloppy when he was a painter. After returning to the palace to wash, he would sleep naked when he had clothes to wear. Jiang Heng gradually accepted it occasionally. Just fall asleep.
What happened last night? Jiang Heng suddenly came back to his senses, and he couldn't make a sound for a while, but when he recalled it, he suddenly felt very warm again.
The sound of the qin in the courtyard was like flowing water, and I could tell that it was Geng Shu playing the qin. He had long and slender fingers, and the plucking of the qin was accurate and powerful. There were many sounds that ordinary people could not play, but they could play it smoothly. It must be .
That song is like a flock of birds flying across the sky, which is really refreshing.
Geng Shu rarely expresses his inner excitement, only the sound of the piano. Jiang Heng can hear his heart from the sound of the piano. He has nowhere to express his joy. He can only play the piano in the courtyard. , "Xingyun Yin" is connected to "Yueren Song", no matter how sad and melancholy there is in the ballad, it is replaced by a vast and endless sky and earth.
Finally, when the piano stopped, Geng Shu pushed in and looked at Jiang Heng.
When Geng Shu woke up in the morning, wearing a black undershirt and underpants, Jiang Heng stretched out his hand as usual, and Geng Shu came over to him, so Jiang Heng hugged his neck.
"Go to take a bath." Geng Shu said in Jiang Heng's ear, just like when they were growing up, they waited to get up, wash, change clothes, and take them to the palace to bathe.
