In the next few days, Rong Tang almost lived in the new house in Yong'an Lane.
He originally thought that he would be unconscious for two or three days after returning from Li's house that day, so he instructed Shuangshou to follow Su Huaijing and take care of all the purchasing and moving matters in advance.
But his body was very kind this time. Not only did he not faint, he also slept until dawn. When he woke up, he felt refreshed, as if he had lived again.
Rong Tang was very happy. Since that was the case, he would be the one to watch over Su Huaijing's move himself.
Sometimes they complain that the bedroom is too delicate, sometimes they say that the study room doesn’t have enough space, and sometimes they say that the petunias in the yard have a bad meaning and should be removed…
This left Shuangfu and Shuangshou completely confused.
Even the young master’s own yard is not so exquisite!
In the past two months, who among the servants in Tanghua Court did not say that the young master was the most kind-hearted and magnanimous person
It seems that things are really going to change in the palace. The new groom has already won the heart of the eldest young master before he even entered the house.
Shuangfu and Shuangshou looked at Su Huaijing hesitantly, obviously treating him as their second master.
Su Huaijing was helpless, but he couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he brought the beauty lamp that fell over in the wind into the study to read the storybook, while he went outside to talk to the craftsman about his requirements.
Rong Tang came again the next day.
Come back on the third day.
Every day he felt that he would definitely feel dizzy the next day, but he didn't feel dizzy every day.
He has now developed a new hobby. He bets with the system to guess when he will faint. The system has regained some of its former temper, rolled its eyes at him and went into hibernation. However, Rong Tang is still optimistic and still goes to Yong'an Lane every day.
Everyone in the palace courtyard was silent, fearing that any loud noise would scare their precious young master to death. The princess was preparing for the wedding, and Rong Tang felt bored being alone.
He likes to come here. It is so noisy here that he feels comfortable even if he lies in the study, reading a storybook and listening to the sounds outside.
It was very similar to when he was in middle school, he was writing a test paper in the classroom, and across the street there were workers building a high-rise building.
Noisy, but true.
It was a calmness that he hadn't felt in a long, long time, or even in several lifetimes.
Moreover, the tea here at Su Huaijing's place tastes better than that found elsewhere. It is sweet, slightly bitter, and has a sweet aftertaste. He can often finish a whole cup of tea while reading in the afternoon.
It was just that Su Huaijing didn't let him drink more, and after he finished a cup, the tea he got in exchange for it no longer had that sweet taste. Rong Tang teased him for hiding the good stuff from him, and Su Huaijing smiled and replied, "Brother Tangtang knows that everything I have now was given by you."
Rong Tang immediately fell silent. He realized that as soon as Su Huaijing said "Brother Tangtang", he wanted to surrender.
Sadly, Su Huaijing also discovered it, and it worked every time.
I'm very angry.
On this day, Rong Tang was staying in his house in Yong'an Lane reading storybooks again. He had ordered someone to move a beauty couch into the study a few days ago. Su Huaijing just glanced at him and did not object.
So he lay on it at this time, with a soft and thick wool blanket under him and a fluffy and light goose feather quilt on his body.
Wang Xiuyu's mother's family is wealthy and she herself has assets, so she is willing to spend money on this darling of hers. This set of bedding alone is enough to cover an ordinary family's expenses for three years.
Rong Tang lay there, his finger stuck in the middle of the page, and he was a little absent-minded when he saw a certain word in the storybook.
After recalling for two minutes, he asked the system: "Sheng Chengli... has the male protagonist left the cold palace?"
Sheng Chengli was the fifth son of Emperor Renshou. He was born during the years when rebellion was being planned. His mother was just a singer from a foreign country on a cruise ship in the south of the Yangtze River. She gave birth to him after a one-night stand.
According to the author's setting, this child is actually the lucky star of Emperor Renshou. Emperor Renshou is quite superstitious, and he would ask a sorcerer to do astrology and fortune-telling for every child born.
During the time when the hero was born, the Purple Star was bright, and purple air came from the northern imperial capital, lingering over the palace of Emperor Renshou for three full days before dissipating.
Because Emperor Renshou was planning a rebellion at that time, the sorcerers interpreted this kind of celestial phenomenon as God's blessing on the head of the family, the appearance of a real dragon, and the fact that the previous emperor had been in power for many years but had not been recognized by heaven, so the purple air floated from the north to the palace, which undoubtedly provided huge pseudo-theoretical support for Emperor Renshou's rebellion.
Considering the superstitious level of Emperor Renshou, with such a fate, the male protagonist should be held in his hands and worshipped by him all his life. Unless in the later period he is afraid that the stars are pointing to the male protagonist instead of him, he may take action against Sheng Chengli.
But at that time, there happened to be two concubines in the palace who were pregnant and about to give birth. One was a singer from Jiangnan, and the other was the legitimate daughter of the Grand Marshal of the Army, who later became Concubine Hui, Xia.
Therefore, the stars 'naturally' pointed to the protagonist's younger brother, the Sixth Prince.
At the same time, Xia also made some more adjustments and ordered astrologers to insinuate that the Purple Star in the northern sky was bright, but at the same time, the Aries in the southern night sky was also very strong, implying that there was a young master in the palace whose mother was from the south and whose fate would clash with the Purple Star.
From then on, Sheng Chengli's miserable fate in the first half of his life was determined by a false fate sheet as soon as he was born.
Sheng Chengli is only fifteen years old now, two years younger than Su Huaijing.
At this time in the previous life, Rong Tang felt distressed when he saw his malnourished and skinny appearance, and tried his best to help him get out of the cold palace; in the previous life, for some unclear reasons, Rong Tang had just been reborn, and felt extremely guilty towards the male protagonist. He always felt that it was because he was not cautious enough that the mission failed, causing the little protagonist to not escape being killed by the villain until his death, so he took the risk and went directly to the eldest princess's mansion.
At this time, Rong Tang did not feel the slightest bit of guilt towards the male protagonist. Even if he did feel guilty, it was towards Su Huaijing.
He has been feeling somewhat regretful lately, suspecting that it was because of his indifference and neglect in his previous two lives that caused Su Huaijing to encounter those situations that angered God and the people.
Seeing this, the system couldn't help but sigh cyber-breathing, and replied: [Not yet, host, have you thought of anything? ]
Rong Tang didn't say anything, but frowned and recalled.
In his first life, he followed the original plot and helped the male protagonist escape from the cold palace because he was bullied by several princes in the palace at that time. Rong Tang secretly taught the male protagonist a play and successfully used green tea to persuade the emperor, which reminded him of the stunning singer he met on the Jiangnan pleasure boat many years ago.
The person is gone, and the so-called conflict of fate is nothing to be afraid of in front of the true dragon emperor. The emperor is getting old, and after thinking about it, he released the fifth prince from the cold palace and ordered the tutor to teach him.
But the source of the bullying was very interesting. It was closely related to the Second Prince's entry into the court to govern the country. Because of his outstanding political achievements, the princes who followed him became more and more lawless in the palace, and they formed gangs and broke into the cold palace.
Last time, Rong Tang was only concerned with rescuing Su Huaijing from Qin Pengxuan, and other irrelevant plots were put aside for the time being. Now that he thinks about it carefully, one of the several political achievements made by the Second Prince at that time was the [Rebel Remnants Case].
It is said that five years ago, a riot broke out in the south of Dayu. Hundreds of well-trained rebels marched northward, beheading eight corrupt officials and countless gentry along the way.
However, in the original plot, the description of this group of "rebels" is: the adopted sons of a team of the late emperor's Embroidered Uniform Guard, and the homeless orphans he adopted.
Five years ago, Wu Kangbo killed a total of 208 people, but in fact dozens of people escaped, including this adopted son.
According to the original plot line, in less than a month, these ten people will all be arrested and become a glorious addition to the Second Prince's resume.
When Rong Tang thought of this, his head started to hurt.
Because according to his guess, the Second Prince's political achievements were made with the help of Su Huaijing.
In other words, Su Huaijing personally handed over the adopted son of the envoy who had risked his life to protect his father to the son of Emperor Renshou who had stolen his father's throne.
"It's so messy..." Rong Tang's face wrinkled up, and he buried his face in the wool blanket in annoyance. He threw the book down and sighed in frustration: "It's so annoying!"
He closed his eyes and thought about something. He didn't notice someone walked into the study. He bent down to pick up the storybook and chuckled. His tone was lazy and perverse: "What outrageous plot did you write to make our prince so angry?"
Rong Tang was slightly startled, raised his head and looked up at him.
Su Huaijing held the storybook in one hand, and looked over with his usual smiling eyes lowered, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Rong Tang was stunned for a moment.
"My kid is so handsome." He said to the system in his heart, "Do you think if I find him a wife and children, he will stop thinking about destroying the world?"
The system rolled its eyes and did not respond to his fantasy, but instead gave a 'friendly' reminder: [Are you sure you want to let a 17-year-old kid who is still young and on the verge of evil and could become a tyrant at any time read those dirty things you are watching? ]
Rong Tang was startled, his brain short-circuited for a moment, and then he reacted immediately. He suddenly stood up and knelt, stretched his body straight, snatched the book back from Su Huaijing's hand, and then turned the cover upside down and pressed it under his knees with lightning speed, threatening fiercely: "Don't read it!"
Su Huaijing's hands were empty and he was slightly stunned. He blinked his eyes lightly, turned his head and looked at Rong Tang in confusion with an innocent expression.
Rong Tang's bravado suddenly lost most of its momentum, his straight back gradually bent, and his voice became weak: "Anyway, you are not allowed to look."
Su Huaijing was not really curious at first. He just took a quick glance and apart from remembering a few names and scenes, he didn't find anything worth getting angry about. He was just about to tell Rong Tang to go out for a walk if he was tired of watching, otherwise it would be bad for his eyes. But as a result, he became interested.
Su Huaijing lowered his fingers in front of him and gently stroked Rong Tang's waist badge - since the day of moving, Rong Tang had asked him to wear it to prevent any blind local tyrants from coming to the house to bully him.
"Why aren't you allowing me to watch?" Su Huaijing asked.
Rong Tang's ears turned red suspiciously, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Children are not allowed to watch things that adults watch."
Su Huaijing was stunned for a moment and wanted to laugh, but he was angry.
His face fell, and he was silent for a while, feeling a little hurt: "Brother Tangtang thinks I'm too young."
Rong Tang: “…?” Ah this
Su Huaijing lowered his eyes: "Brother Tangtang thinks I'm too young and still wants to marry me. I guess he's just trying to coax me."
Rong Tang: “???” Ah this this this!
Rong Tang was dumbfounded. The system was already coldly and ruthlessly laughing at him. Rong Tang palely added: "I didn't..."
Su Huaijing: "It's okay, it's okay to tell the truth. Brother Tangtang just felt sorry for me and wanted to protect me out of kindness. I was just thinking too much."
As he said this, he raised his hand, touched the knot of the waist badge, and was about to untie it and return it to Rong Tang.
Rong Tang's scalp tingled, and he leaned forward, raised his hand and pressed the back of Su Huaijing's hand, and said, "I was wrong."
He even knelt on the couch, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was exemplary.
Su Huaijing was almost amused by him, but he still lowered his eyes and looked at Rong Tang: "Don't you dislike me?"
Rong Tang shook his head firmly: "No problem!"
"You really want to marry me?"
Rong Tang nodded firmly: "Really!"
"Will you protect me forever?"
Rong Tang hesitated for a moment. He had said this to the eldest princess before, but he didn't think much of it at the time. But when Su Huaijing asked him this, he was distracted.
Su Huaijing caught the hesitation at that moment. His expression turned cold and he was about to continue untying the rope. Rong Tang quickly said, "I will protect you until I die."
He would never betray him in his life. It was because of him that he had the strength to live again.
Su Huaijing was stunned, unable to tell what he felt for a moment. The hand pressing on the back of his hand was still cold, and the bone-warming powder he had used for so many days had not had much effect.
He didn't like to hear Rong Tang say the word "death", but he knew very well that no matter whether it was Rong Tang's own body or his future plans, this young master was destined to die.
The most he could do for him was to spare his mother when he massacred Ning Xuan Palace.
Besides, Rong Tang should always be regarded as just a chess piece in his eyes, and he should not have any pity on a chess piece.
But he still didn't like hearing this person so calmly and calmly say "wait until I die", "after I'm gone", "I don't have many years left to live" every other day.
Very annoying.
He is the best doctor in Dayu. Rong Tang keeps repeating this in front of him every day, which makes him seem like a medical troublemaker.
Su Huaijing loosened his grip, and Rong Tang, with lingering fear, tightened the already loose knot, slowly stepped back, picked up the goose feather blanket and put it on. Seeing that the baby seemed to have stopped being upset, he deliberately put on a stern face and taught him, "Don't threaten me with this."
Su Huaijing's inexplicable emotions were suppressed in an instant. He smiled softly, pulled the round stool to the side of the beauty couch, and sat down: "Then tell me a story."
It was spring outside the window, and the returning birds were making their homes on the new trees in the courtyard. Su Huaijing held his chin with one hand and raised his index finger lazily: "Let's talk about the storybook you read."
