Zong Huan had nothing to do with the little goblin in his arms. He said he was timid, but he was bold and dared to pluck hair at the tiger's mouth. He said he was daring, but he was scared to cry by a mere nightmare, and his thin body was still trembling. It seemed frightened.
He stretched out his hand to smooth Su Yang's hair and asked, "What did you dream about?"
Su Yang took a deep breath, tears welling up in his eyes again.
He said: "I dreamed that I stole someone else's precious treasure. That person was very painful. I knew it was wrong... I wanted to return the treasure to him, but it was too late, really too late."
Su Yang opened his eyes and looked at the window, where there was a fiery red lantern, reminding him of the ghost king's temple that was scorched by flames in his dream. Mo Yan said that the flames in the temple were under his control, only when Such a situation only occurs when he loses control of his emotions... The fool is really panicked.
Su Yang couldn't imagine that Mo Yan was stubborn and stubborn. He didn't know how long it would take him to accept the reality of his departure, and what actions he would take after accepting it.
He didn't dare to think, or rather, he was afraid to know the truth.
When he left Fu Zhou, he only felt relieved. That man was treacherous and elusive, and it was very stressful to get along with him. Later, when he left Jing Cheng, he escaped from death. He only remembered that he almost died and had no time to think about love affairs. .
After recognizing Zhao Feng, his heart was truly reluctant, but Mo Yan's appearance resolved his uneasiness. He gradually got used to that terrible world.
Thinking of the image of him crying silently in the dream, for the first time in his life, Su Yang asked himself: How can you bear it
Zong Huan kissed the tears on his cheek, it was cold and bitter, he couldn't help frowning, and said, "It's just a dream, it's worth it when you cry like this, no matter what precious treasures you take, Repay everything tenfold and a hundredfold... don't cry, it hurts when I look at it."
Su Yang shook his head. How many generations of affection, how can you afford to pay it back
At this moment, he has an unprecedented resistance to the tasks issued by the system. If the price of his life is to constantly hurt others, then he is willing to give up.
The system noticed his abnormality and said, "Don't mess around."
Su Yang didn't speak. At this moment, his thoughts had never been so clear. If the result of the full progress is like this, then he would rather Zong Huan never be tempted. The two of them are better off each other in this world. Leaving, another painful life.
=========
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, King Wu's people have already entered the capital. The Queen Mother is in a good mood these days. For several days in a row, she held a flower viewing banquet in the imperial garden, and feasted the noble ladies in Beijing. The intention is obvious, to choose the right concubine for Zong Xu.
King Wu Zongxu has turned twenty-five this year, and there are only two side concubines in the inner courtyard. If he hadn't been relegated to the wild land three years ago, now not to mention the main concubine, he has already had his heirs.
The two brothers are very similar in this respect. Zonghuan will be in his thirties after the new year, and the position of the empress is still undecided. The ministers of civil and military affairs of the dynasty are worried about him, but he does his own way, and no one can do anything.
This pot was naturally carried by Su Yang, and now the whole capital is spreading rumors that the emperor refused to stand up because of the eunuch named Tong Jiabao. The Holy High was bewitched by this spirit and could not hold other women in his eyes.
There are also rumors that the emperor issued an absurd imperial decree that no one in the world can bully his darling, and those who violate the order will be executed.
After all, there is some measure under the emperor's feet, and the place a little further away from the capital is even more magical. Some people say that this Tongjiabao is the reincarnation of a fox spirit. , even to the point of obedience.
At the flower viewing banquet, Su Yang sat upright on the side, dressed in a royal blue phoenix pattern costume, his jet-black hair was tied with a jasper hairpin, and a sachet of tranquility was pinned to his waist. Exuding the light scent of bamboo and green grass, the white jade flawless cheeks were expressionless, and everyone was allowed to look at him with vague or bold eyes.
Seeing his appearance, the queen mother nodded secretly, and finally did not lose her share to the royal family.
Naturally, she favored Zong Xu in her heart, but Zong Huan was also her son. If two tigers fought, one would be hurt. All she could do now was to try to avoid this kind of injury.
As long as this Tong Jiabao is firmly in the phoenix position, the omen of the dragon and the phoenix is a revelation from the gods. At that time, the emperor cannot marry a concubine or concubines, and naturally he cannot have blood in this life. She then persuaded Zong Huan to choose one of Zong Xu's heirs to be the heir. In this way, the Zong family's country is as stable as ever, and both sons can be preserved.
The most urgent task at the moment is to choose a generous and decent concubine for Zong Xu with a prominent family background.
The Empress Dowager's eyes shone brightly, and she looked back and said to Song Momo: "I heard that King Wu entered the palace today to report his duties, and Aijia didn't see him for a few days, and I miss him very much. To invite him here is said to be Aijia's will. ."
Mother Song was blessed and left quickly.
In this era, the folk customs are relatively civilized. Girls who have not left the cabinet have no rules about not seeing men from outside the cabinet. As long as they do not meet alone and do dirty things, most of the time they will not cause gossip.
When I heard that King Wu was coming, these girls had very different expressions, some were curious, some were worried, and what were they worried about? Naturally, they were afraid of being caught by King Wu and returned to that desolate northern Hebei with him.
Their performances were all seen by the queen mother, she lowered her eyes calmly, and said slowly: "Jiabao, make tea for Aijia."
Su Yang heard the words, stood up obediently and walked in front of her, bowed and bowed halfway, and then lifted the tea set leisurely. A set of tea brewing movements was as smooth as flowing water, and every move was as elegant and calm as ink paintings, which was pleasing to the eye. , so engrossed in it, that he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.
After a while, the refreshing fragrance of tea came out from the warm jade porcelain cup, which was refreshing.
He held the Yujie porcelain cup, put his index finger and middle finger together on the side of the cup to feel the temperature of the tea, slightly curved his lips, and said, "The temperature is just right now, the Queen Mother, please use tea."
The queen mother was slightly startled, took the tea, put it under her nose and sniffed it, and sincerely praised: "This tea is very good."
The famous ladies onlookers were absent-minded, and the two plain fingers were sticking to the side of the cup, which was even more transparent and white than the expensive porcelain cup, which made the delicate and gorgeous cup lose its color.
Only at this moment did they understand why the sage had neglected countless beauties in the palace, but favored the little eunuch Jiaofang, and issued such an imperial decree, because he really couldn't pick out any bad temperament, appearance, or even inadvertently. The style revealed is so dazzling, comparable to the stars in the night sky.
It is widely rumored that this child's family treasure is a scourge of demon and charm. If you ask these people to take a look at a real person, it will be called a real face. Such a person who is as cold as the moon, how can he be a demon, I am afraid that it is similar to the immortals in the heavenly palace.
Su Yang's goal has been achieved. As a former super idol, the burden of idols is not something that can be thrown away. Even if it is the evildoer that the people of the whole country reviled, he can't stand others looking at him with contempt. .
After the limelight, Su Yang bowed and was about to step back, when he suddenly heard the sound of applause from behind.
Zong Xu slowly stepped into the pavilion, his eyes stayed on Su Yang's body, and he said slowly, "Long time no see, Master Tong is really surprising."
Su Yang wasn't afraid, just said modestly, "Your Highness has won the prize." He slowly walked back to his position.
Zong Xu didn't say any more, he sat next to the Queen Mother with a smile, said a few thoughtful words to her, and then picked up the tea that Su Yang had poured for the Queen Mother, and said, "I used to talk to the imperial brother in the imperial study room. , I was so dry, I didn't have time to drink the water and rushed to the mother's place, I don't know if the mother would be willing to reward the son with a cup of tea."
The queen mother gave him a look and scolded with a smile: "You debt collector, drink as much as you want, and Aijia can still send you this cup of tea."
The ladies under the stage laughed in cooperation, and praised the empress dowager and the prince for their deep relationship with mother and son.
The queen mother said: "The people present today are all the good girls in the capital, if you fancy someone, tell your mother that Aijia will take care of you and marry him back to the mansion, so that Aijia can hug his grandson as soon as possible. "
Although her voice was not loud, the Imperial Garden was already quiet, and many people could guess it, and her face flushed with shame, but she couldn't help peeking at Zong Xu. I had only heard that His Royal Highness King Wu was handsome, but now I see him. I only know that the rumors are not too much.
Zong Xu glanced at the famous ladies under the stage lightly, and suddenly smiled.
He put down the tea cup in his hand and said, "In the eyes of this king, in the entire imperial garden, only Master Tong is the most beautiful."
Su Yang: "…"
The empress dowager's face changed, she frowned and said, "What nonsense, the empress mother knows that you are funny by nature and likes to say such witty things. If others take it seriously, it would be good. Your emperor has a bad temper, so be careful to make him angry."
Zong Xu chuckled lightly and said, "What my mother taught me is that my son and Master Tong are old acquaintances. It's just a joke, I think he won't mind."
Su Yang replied, "The slaves dare not."
Zong Xu took a deep look at him and changed the subject: "My son is on his way back, and he met an old man on the way. He was not using horses or cows to carry the goods, but two big dogs. I've never seen a dog that big..."
The people present were attracted by his narration, and soon forgot the discordant episode.
…
After the flower viewing banquet was over, Su Yang slowly walked back to Chengqian Palace. Before stepping into the inner hall, he was embraced from behind. The man put his chin on his shoulder and asked, "Have you seen King Wu?"
Su Yang nodded and said, "See you."
Zong Huan asked quietly: "How, has he changed?"
Su Yang was silent for a while, and said in a reminiscence tone: "It seems to be thinner and darker, but his face is still the same as before, not much has changed."
In fact, he didn't even look at Zong Xu at all, and he said these words just following Zong Huan's conjecture in an attempt to anger him. Anyway, this man has never trusted him, and this suspicion can be used.
Sure enough, Zong Huan's eyes were so gloomy that water was almost dripping. He clamped Su Yang's wrist, pressed him against the white jade stone pillar beside him, ripped open the collar of his shirt, and bit his delicate collarbone heavily.
Su Yang whimpered in pain and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Zong Huan didn't answer, he just pushed harder and harder until he tasted the fishy and sweet taste in his mouth before he could stop.
