When Qu Liushang heard that Jiang Qingyue was calling him, he happily walked there, and heard his voice from a long distance away: "Young Master Qingyue, I'm coming!"
But as soon as he entered the room, he saw Yan Shi at a glance, the joy on his face froze, and he suddenly had a bad feeling: "My lord, the lord is here too."
"Sit down." Yan Shi motioned him to sit down.
Qu Liushang felt like sitting on pins and needles, always feeling that nothing good happened today.
Yan Shi didn't let him guess for too long, and said straight to the point: "Qu Liushang, you are from the Shifang Gate." It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.
Qu Liushang was startled in his heart, but on the surface he laughed calmly: "The prince is really joking, how can I be from the Shifang sect? Before I came to the palace, I was just a doctor who sold medicine in the rivers and lakes."
Yan Shi was not in a hurry to argue with him, and gently put the teacup on the table: "When we were on the way to Xiaxi Village, we met a group of people, and you said to yourself that they were from Shifangmen I heard that the people of Shifangmen are very mysterious, and it is not the internal members who do not know how to identify the identities of the people in the door. Even I have sent people to investigate for a long time, but I have never known how to identify a person from Shifangmen. So, may I ask Mr. Qu, how did you see at a glance that those people were from the Shifang Sect?"
Qu Liushang wished he could wear it back and slap himself hard at that time, making you talk too much! Let you talk too much! But it was too late now, Qu Liushang looked at Jiang Qingyue, and Jiang Qingyue was also looking at him, his eyes were still so deserted, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.
Qu Liushang decided not to admit it: "My lord, this alone doesn't explain anything. I have been in the world for many years, and it is not uncommon to know some secrets of various sects. If my lord wants to hear it, I can tell him about it." For three days and three nights there will be no repeats.”
Yan Shi smiled indifferently: "Since Mr. Qu doesn't want to admit it, then forget it, I won't force you. It's getting late today, Mr. Qu will leave tomorrow."
"No, my lord. The matter hasn't been investigated clearly yet, why do you want to drive me away?" Qu Liushang was a little anxious, he had prepared a bellyful of arguments and hadn't started to speak, how could he come up and drive people away directly.
He put his eyes on Jiang Qingyue: "Young Master Qingyue, you have to say a few words for me. Don't you know what kind of person I am after we have been together in the prince's mansion for so long?"
Jiang Qingyue gave him a cold look: "How can I know what kind of person you are?"
Qu Liushang opened his mouth, but was speechless by what he said.
Yan Shi said: "Qingyue never pleads for those who are not honest."
Qu Liushang wanted to defend himself again, but Yan Shi's words stuck in his heart. After a while, Qu Liushang took a deep look at Jiang Qingyue and walked out slowly.
Yan Shi called in two hidden guards of the palace: "Follow him in secret."
Qu Liushang left that night, and there was a heavy snowfall in the imperial city that night.
But not long after Qu Liushang left, one of the hidden guards came back to report that Qu Liushang had lost him.
This was within Yan Shi's expectation, despite Qu Liushang's sloppy look, but his thoughtful thoughts, he may know that he is being followed as soon as he leaves the palace. Yan Shi waved his hand to tell the two hidden guards not to look for him anymore.
The backyard of Xinglongbuxing.
As soon as Qu Liushang opened the door, he felt that the wind was not good. He quickly dodged to avoid the flying cup, but the cup hit the door and fell to the ground to be torn apart.
"Hey - why did you hit someone when you came in!" Qu Liushang just dodged the cup, and slapped him again.
"You don't know why I hit you?" Hua Ling didn't talk nonsense with him, and slapped him head-on.
Qu Liushang hurriedly fought back, and the two fought back and forth. After fighting for dozens of rounds, Hua Ling kicked Qu Liushang on the stomach and sat him down on the chair: "If it wasn't for For the sake of the fact that you and I have known each other since we were young, you will die today."
Qu Liushang covered his stomach and ouched a few times: "I said you are really ruthless, but I really blamed me for not being cautious enough. But I didn't expect the prince to be so smart, I showed a little flaw
It was noticed by him. "
Hearing Yan Shi's praise, Hua Ling turned pale, and sat down on the chair next to him: "You caused this matter, you can solve it yourself."
"Yes, yes, I will solve it myself." Qu Liushang rubbed his stomach again, "If nothing else, just say that Mr. Qingyue is still in the palace, I have to find a way to go back no matter what."
Hua Ling beat Qu Liushang for a while, and felt a lot of anger in her heart: "Then what are you going to do?"
"I'll go and tell the prince that the head of our Shifang Gate has admired him for a long time." Qu Liushang came up with a bad idea, "That's why I was sent to sneak into the mansion to protect him secretly."
"Hehe." Hua Ling sneered a few times.
Qu Liushang shrank his neck and touched his arm: "You laugh so scary."
Hua Ling raised his hand and hit him on the head again, Qu Liushang wailed and covered his head again.
"Knowing that you are afraid, you come up with such bad ideas!" Hua Ling's eyes were fixed on him, like a goshawk staring at a fat and tender hare, "You actually found me a rival in love, this rival in love! It's still me!"
Qu Liushang laughed a few times, and also felt that this idea was a bit bad: "My lord loves you so much now, why would he fall in love with someone else again?"
It was pleasant to hear these words, and Hua Ling's complexion became better again: "That's not okay, you can change your mind."
"Then it means that I fell in love with Mr. Qingyue at first sight, that's why I sneaked into the mansion." Qu Liushang said again.
Hua Ling looked at him like an idiot: "Do you think my brother is an idiot like you?"
"Then what do you say?" Qu Liushang asked back.
Hua Ling spread her hands: "I don't know, I just know that I won't do things that let people know my identity."
Qu Liushang sighed: "You go back first, let me think about something else. I also want to go back sooner. I have missed Mr. Qingyue every day for the past three months. I finally came back and haven't told him yet. After a few words, he was kicked out."
Hua Ling didn't say anything else, opened the door and left, and Yan Shi should have returned from Dali Temple after some time.
Yan Shi hasn't been to Dali Temple for a long time, Dali Temple has accumulated a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and it seems that Chinese New Year is coming again, so these few days Yan Shi is a bit busy going out early and returning late.
The year is approaching, and the snow in the imperial city is getting heavier. Now it is dark, and two big red lanterns are lit at the gate of Dali Temple. The wind blows and sways, mixed with the snow, which has a bit of charm .
While explaining something to the officials of Dali Temple, Yan Shi walked out, and before he reached the door, he saw the familiar figure, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked a few steps: "Mingting, why are you here?" !"
"Brother." Hua Ling heard Yan Shi's voice and ran towards him joyfully, and immediately threw himself into his arms, "I'm here to pick up my brother home."
The fatigue on Yan Shi's body was miraculously dispelled by this sentence. He saw Hua Ling came alone at a glance, and frowned slightly: "Why didn't you bring a servant, and ran here by yourself?"
"I think it's cumbersome to take people with you, and it makes me be careful about this and that." Hua Ling pouted playfully, "Why don't you come by yourself, and do whatever you want."
Yan Shi tightened his collar to prevent the snow from getting in: "Even if you don't bring any servants, you still have to bring a few hidden guards. It's already dark now, so don't worry me." A fairy is still beautiful, what if someone covets her.
Hua Ling smiled and held Yan Shi's hand: "I know brother, it's my fault this time, I will bring a hidden guard when I come out later, so you won't worry."
Yan Shi smiled, took his hand and said, "Let's go."
The two got into the carriage one after another, and Yan Shi stuffed his Mrs. Tang into Hua Ling's hands: "It's good to hold on to it."
Hua Ling raised the car window by a corner, and looked at the heavy snow outside, with a smile in his eyes: "Brother, look at how beautiful the snow is."
Yan Shi's heart suddenly moved: "Ming Ting, let me take you to the night market, okay?"
Hua Ling hurriedly closed the curtains
Putting it down, he nodded vigorously: "Okay, okay, brother, let's go to the night market."
Yan Shi ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the largest night market in the imperial city. Horses and carriages were prohibited in the night market. When they reached the entrance of the night market, the coachman stopped the carriage.
Yan Shi got out of the car first, and took Hua Ling's hand to help him down.
Although it was snowing tonight, the entire night market was not affected at all, and it was still bustling with activity.
The snow fell heavily, not the kind of fine snow, but the kind of heavy snow like goose feathers. There is no wind tonight, and the snow is slowly falling from the sky, looking chic and wanton.
The lights in the distance made this place a bit brighter. Hua Ling was dressed in white and covered with a snow-white cloak. He happily looked towards the night market. He was already extremely beautiful, but standing in the heavy snow made him look even more beautiful, like a fairy in the snow.
Yan Shi only felt his heart beating violently when he saw Hua Ling like this: "Ming Ting!" He called him softly.
"Brother..." Yan Shi swallowed the rest of the words.
Hua Ling thought a lot, but never thought that Yan Shi would take the initiative to kiss him, and it was still in this kind of place.
There was a night market in front of him, and there were many people there. He could clearly see what those people were doing, and those people could also clearly see what they were doing.
Even so, Hua Ling didn't intend to leave Yan Shi's lips, but instead deepened the kiss. Yan Shi's lips were a little cold, their lips and tongues intersected, and their breaths were entangled with each other. In this pale world, it seems that there is only each other.
After an unknown amount of time, the kiss finally ended.
Yan Shi's face was a little red, he didn't know why he was so obsessed with ghosts just now, and he did such an overstepping behavior, but he didn't regret it, in this life, one should always do as one pleases.
Hua Ling shyly hugged Yan Shi, and softly called his brother a few times in his arms.
Yan Shi patted him on the back lightly, then led him by the hand and walked to the night market.
Although there is snow tonight, it is not very cold, and the night market is very lively. I feel that the temperature here is much higher than other places. After Hua Ling entered here, sweat started to break out on his nose after a while, and he discussed with Yan Shi: "Brother, can I take off the cloak if I want?"
"No." Yan Shi resolutely refused, "You are sweating now, don't catch a cold when it's hot and cold."
Hua Ling stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to say anything else.
The stalls in the night market are one after another, selling daily necessities and jewelry, as well as many snacks. The crowd was bustling, very lively.
Hua Ling took Yan Shi's hand, like a little loach happily crawling around in front of each stall.
Arriving at a candied haws stand, Hua Ling swallowed subconsciously.
Yan Shi chuckled and bought a bunch and stuffed it into his hand, Hua Ling took a bite and immediately said, "It's not tasty."
Yan Shi took his hand and bit off the half of the hawthorn he had bitten: "It's not bad."
Hua Ling said angrily: "How can my brother make me delicious candied haws? Ever since I ate the candied haws made by my elder brother, I can't eat the candied haws made by others anymore."
Yan Shi smiled: "I'll go back to the palace later, shall I make it for you again?"
Hua Ling nodded again and again: "Okay, okay."
The two held hands and walked forward slowly. A middle-aged man was walking towards him, dressed very luxuriously, followed by four servants, who looked very dignified.
"Father?" Hua Ling stopped abruptly and called out.
Hua Qiancheng was walking in a hurry, he really didn't see these two people, only when he heard Hua Ling calling him, did he see: "My lord, my concubine."
Yan Shi nodded: "Father-in-law, what a coincidence."
Hua Ling tilted her head and asked, "Father, what are you doing here? You also come to eat delicious food?"
As soon as Hua Qiancheng mentioned this, he became angry: "I came to look for your second brother, this brat hasn't seen anyone for several months. I just heard that someone saw him here in the residence, so I came to see him."
look. "
"Oh." Hua Ling nodded, with a lonely expression on his face, "Then don't bother Dad, let's talk again when we have time."
After Hua Qiancheng had a few more polite words with Yan Shi, he led them away.
Hua Ling watched his back without turning around for a long time, Yan Shi held his hand tightly: "Don't be sad."
Hua Ling also held his hand tightly back: "Brother, I never thought about what kind of feelings my father has for me before, but since Luyao went to the Zen Lin Nunnery, I suddenly seemed to be enlightened." These years, my father didn't talk to me very much. What he said to me were just some polite words. He never said anything wrong with me. This feeling is not like father and son, but a bit like a stranger. But with two The younger brother is different from the third brother. Sometimes he complains that the second brother is not doing his job properly and always goes out of the house to play. The third brother is mischievous and breaks something. Although he complains in his mouth, his eyes are filled with Laughing."
"I just met my father, and he was only in a hurry to find my second brother." Having said that, Hua Ling lowered her head, with a hint of tears in her voice, "But I have just returned from a trip for a few months, so I won't ask him to ask about it." How have I been doing outside these few months? Even if you blame me for why I haven't returned to the Kangle Mansion to see him after so many days in the imperial city."
The little princess's crying voice broke Yan Shi's heart, and Yan Shi gently hugged him in his arms: "Ming Ting, it's my regret that you didn't participate in your previous life. But I promise, The days to come will make you happy every day."
Hua Ling sniffed: "I was happy just now, I blamed me for mentioning this. Brother, I'm hungry, let's eat something here before going back. I think the wonton stall over there smells strange Yes, let's eat that, shall we?"
Yan Shi took a closer look at Hua Ling, and found that he was not trying to force a smile, so he felt relieved, took his hand, and walked towards the wonton stand.
The wonton stall was also set up outside, and a large shed was erected, with a few tables and chairs inside. The business was quite brisk, and they were all full. It just so happened that when Yan Shi walked over with Hua Ling, there happened to be a The people at the table finished eating and left.
The stall owner quickly cleared the table, and Yan Shi ordered wontons for four nights. One bowl for him, three bowls for the little princess. The stall owner looked at the faces of the two in surprise. They were both very beautiful noblemen. He thought they had invited others to eat together, so he ordered four bowls of wontons immediately without asking any further questions.
After a while, the wontons were served. Yan Shi put the other two bowls of wontons aside to dry. Hua Ling stirred the bowls with a spoon first, then scooped out a spoonful of soup and took a sip: "Yeah! Brother is delicious, you should try it soon."
Yan Shi chuckled lightly, and took a sip of the wonton soup under the earnest eyes of the little princess, it was really good.
After receiving Yan Shi's compliment, Hua Ling was even happier, and picked up a wonton and ate it cheerfully.
Strictly speaking, the shed of the wonton stall has only one roof, and there are bamboo poles everywhere, so you can clearly see the passing pedestrians.
After eating all night, Hua Ling rubbed his belly, picked up another bowl and started to eat: "Brother, I've never eaten like this before, it's really interesting."
Yan Shi looked at the heavy snowfall outside, and could touch the snowflakes as soon as he stretched out his hand, but sitting here at the wonton stand, his whole body was warm and harmonious, as if there were two worlds.
Yan Shi smiled and said, "If you like, we will come out more often in the future."
Hua Ling nodded heavily: "Okay, brother."
Because Hua Ling was in a hurry to go back to the mansion to eat Yan Shi's candied haws, the two returned to the palace in a carriage after eating the wontons.
It was quiet in Prince Ruiying's mansion, only the lights everywhere were still on.
When Yan Shi came to the kitchen, the master chef on duty in the kitchen was dozing off little by little while sitting on the edge of the pot. Hearing the sound of the door opening, his whole body was jolted and he hurriedly stood up: "Wang, lord, wangfei."
Yan Yi nodded: "Is there still hawthorn?"
"Yes, yes." The master nodded again and again, "Whatever the prince wants to eat, I will do it right away."
"Go back, I can do it myself." Yan Shi said.
The master thought he hadn't woken up, so he shook his head, trying to make himself
Sober up: "My lord, what are you talking about?"
"Where is the hawthorn?" Yan Shi didn't explain much.
"Here." The master hurriedly found a bag of hawthorn.
"Where's the rock candy?"
"Here." The master frantically found out the rock sugar again. This is the first time the prince has been in the mansion for more than a year, so it is really scary.
"My lord, what else do you need?" The master asked stammeringly.
Yan Shi thought for a while: "Let's cut some sticks for this king, the kind that can make candied haws."
"Ah?" The master completely thought that he hadn't woken up.
