There was a table full of dishes, but Rong Tang only drank half a bowl of soup and ate a few pieces of soft-cooked goose meat.
He didn't dare to touch the rabbit head that was disassembled and seemed to be revived by a breath of fairy air. As for the other two dishes, Rong Tang would have no appetite when he thought that they were sent by Sheng Chengli. Even if he tentatively glanced at the dish, Su Huaijing would immediately give him a half-smile and ask in a gentle voice: "Tangtang, do you want to eat?"
Eat shit!
All of them are spicy!
Even if he wanted to eat Su Huaijing, it would be impossible for him to eat.
Rong Tang even suspected that if Su Huaijing hadn't seen the goose soup and rice, he would never have allowed these dishes to be served on their table.
Rong Tang immediately shook his head like a rattle, drank the soup obediently, and said softly, "I don't want to eat."
Su Huaijing looked at him a few more times, and this time he didn't ask him whether he really didn't want to eat. Anyway, it would be the same whether he asked or not, and his final decision would not change.
What should we say about the Fifth Prince giving a patient a table full of spicy food
Su Huaijing couldn't help wanting to laugh, but there was a hint of coldness at the corners of his lips.
Tangtang said in person that he had taught Sheng Chengli the Four Books and Five Classics, military strategies, and even the art of ruling. With his understanding of Tangtang and his wisdom, if he put his heart into teaching someone, there is absolutely no possibility that he could not teach her.
If the table of food sent by Sheng Chengli was not a coincidence, then it can only be said that—
He really doesn't care.
He wanted to please, to balance, and to attack people's hearts, but he didn't care at all that Rong Tang liked spicy food, but whether he could eat that much spicy food.
Seeing such obvious surrender, Su Huaijing couldn't help but wonder, was he only like this to Tangtang, or was he like this to others as well
Because he knew Rong Tang would always indulge him, so he was extra careless towards him
Do you think the other party will go along with you even for the slightest favor
Su Huaijing lowered his eyes, shaved off the last edible piece of meat from the rabbit's eye sockets, pieced the skull together, and asked Rong Tang, who had just drunk half a bowl of soup, with a smile: "Are you full?"
Rong Tang nodded hurriedly: "I'm full!"
"That's good." Su Huaijing smiled, turned his head to look around, and raised his hand to call Rong Zheng.
When Rong Zheng arrived here, he was still a little confused. He stood up straight and lowered his head to ask, "What do you want, sister-in-law?"
Su Huaijing: "Are you hungry?"
Rong Zheng: “?”
"Eat these dishes. Don't waste the Fifth Prince's hard work." Su Huaijing's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough to be heard in a small circle around them.
Therefore, even though the young men from the noble families had not heard clearly what the eunuch with a shrill voice said just now, they now understood it all.
They were waiting here with hungry stomachs for the palace banquet to begin, but the Fifth Prince ordered someone to send a table of delicious food to Prince Ningxuan, not caring at all that this would cause displeasure to other princes and nobles.
Su Huaijing stood up after he finished speaking, picked up the dish of rabbit meat with one hand, held Rong Tang's thin wrist with the other, and said lightly: "I'll take your brother out to help him digest the food. If you can't finish it by yourself, share some with your friends. We should all be hungry."
As soon as these words were spoken, several people from the Second Prince's party who were on good terms with Rong Zheng all showed delight on their faces and clasped their fists towards Su Huaijing from a distance.
Su Huaijing nodded in return, then walked out of the hall calmly, holding Rong Tang's hand.
There were some dogs in the palace, most of them were small playthings raised by the masters of each palace. Su Huaijing walked in the moonlight, passed by the palace wall, and saw a wolfhound sticking out its tongue at them from a distance. He paused for a moment, smiled, walked forward a few steps, and casually put the plate of rabbit meat at the foot of the wall, letting the dog lower its head to enjoy it.
Rong Tang's eyes widened.
Su Huaijing noticed his expression, his eyebrows and eyes frowned, and he asked in a calm and indifferent tone: "Tangtang wants to eat?"
"No!" Rong Tang immediately shook his head to deny, his eyes fixed on the wolfdog.
In other words, the young master in the palace.
Emperor Renshou likes to raise wild animals, such as falcons, peacocks, pythons, snow wolves...
Even the white tiger would not have been offered so easily if Emperor Renshou himself had not liked it.
There was a zoo in the Dayu Palace, which was dedicated to raising the "pets" that Emperor Renshou loved. All of them were kept in captivity there. Every year, there would be incidents of palace servants going to feed the pets but being bitten to death by the wild beasts.
The wolfhound that Su Huaijing fed was actually the offspring of a snow wolf in the zoo. It was twelve years old and was the only pet in the palace that was not kept by Emperor Renshou.
Its owner is the Queen Mother.
When the late emperor was still alive, the puppies were born, their bodies were snow-white, their appearance was excellent, and they had the murderous nature of wolves and the loyalty of dogs.
Emperor Renshou was only a vassal prince at the time. He traveled to the capital to celebrate the empress dowager's centenary birthday. To show his filial piety, he specially gave this wolfhound to his mother, firstly to express his longing for her and secondly to protect her safety.
This wolfhound is as powerful as three to four palace guards and is extremely ferocious towards everyone except the Queen Mother.
It would occasionally stroll out of Shoukang Palace, and the palace servants would stay away from it if they were three meters away, for fear that it would get furious and pounce on them and bite them.
Rong Tang had seen this wolfdog from afar when he entered the palace in his previous two lives. Sheng Chengli said that its name was Cang Shang, and if he could make friends with it, he would have half a foot in Shoukang Palace.
The system task was assigned quite casually, because of the protagonist's unintentional words, Rong Tang was really given the task of making friends with a dog.
Rong Tang was not afraid of dogs, but Shen Shang was particularly huge, with a snow-white body and deep eyes. It was more like a wolf that had not lost its wildness than a dog.
When I walked in front of it and was stared at by its yellow-brown eyes, it seemed as if everything I was thinking was seen through.
Shen Shang has bitten people and killed them.
Rong Tang and the system both tried to persuade the main brain not to do this mission, but to no avail. In the end, they only got a promise to double the mission reward.
There was no choice but for him to go there trembling with fear.
But Shen Shang ignored him, glanced at him, sniffed around his trouser legs, and then slowly walked away.
Rong Tang would pester it every time he entered the palace, and finally it got tired of pestering him, so it suddenly jumped up and knocked him down, opening its big mouth and eagerly trying to bite Rong Tang's neck for a long time, as if looking for a weak spot to bite him to death. But it might also be that the human under its claws was too weak, so it was too lazy to bite, and finally released its claws, howled to warn Rong Tang, and then retreated, mercifully letting the prey go.
When Rong Tang reached out and touched his neck, he found it was covered with his own sweat and saliva from the wolfhound's mouth, reminding him that he was only one step away from death.
The system was so scared that it went on a wild alarm in his head. As soon as Cang Shang left, without even saying hello, he went to protest to the main brain without Rong Tang's knowledge. After protesting for three or two days, he came back in a high-spirited manner, telling Rong Tang that the mission was cancelled and that he had secured a large sum of compensation for him!
Because of the compensation, when Rong Tang saw Shen Shang in the palace later, although he couldn't help being afraid, he still felt that it had become more handsome. Even the horrifying scar on its left front leg was not scary anymore.
But he had never seen his master eat anything fed by the palace maids outside Shoukang Palace.
But Su Huaijing just casually placed the plate against the wall without paying any attention to the hierarchy of offerings. Canshang, on the other hand, just sniffed the food and ate it in big mouthfuls without any complaint.
Rong Tang swallowed, unconsciously took half a step back, and once again imagined the rabbit head as himself.
Su Huaijing grabbed his hand: "Tangtang is afraid of dogs?"
It was not right for Rong Tang to nod, nor was it right for him not to nod.
Anyone who sees a dog that almost ate itself, busying itself with its food, will be terrified.
But he has revealed too much in recent days. If Huai Jing suspects that he and this wolfhound are old acquaintances, he might directly infer the fact that he has been reborn.
So Rong Tang stiffened his neck and nodded: "It's too big, it's a bit scary to eat it."
"Really?" Su Huaijing smiled, looked at Rong Tang meaningfully, and gently kicked Cang Shang's butt.
The wolfhound turned around and stared at the person who attacked it with extreme ferocity.
Rong Tang's heart was in his throat. He held Huai Jing's hand and thought that if Can Shang got angry, he would immediately grab Huai Jing and run for his life!
But the young master, whom no one in the entire palace dared to offend, just raised his eyes and looked at Su Huaijing in confusion, as if he didn't understand his order, and didn't understand why he had to change the place when he was eating well. Su Huaijing then patiently pointed to the distance and said, "Eat over there."
The wolfhound understood now, but was still in disbelief and felt very hurt. It whimpered and barked twice, then found a place to sit against the wall again with the plate in its mouth, and continued to bend down to eat the few rabbit heads left on the plate. It also looked back at Su Huaijing with resentment a few times.
Rong Tang was so shocked that he could hardly close his mouth. After a while, he finally came to his senses: "Do you know each other?"
Su Huaijing laughed and led him to another direction with few people: "I raised it for two years."
The current empress dowager is actually Mingzong’s second wife. She is not only the biological mother of Emperor Renshou, but also the legal mother of the previous emperor.
The late emperor's biological mother, Empress Xiaorenjing, died early, so Mingzong promoted Yang, who was a noble concubine at the time, to be an imperial noble concubine. Two years later, she was made empress, and Emperor Renshou then became the late emperor's legitimate son.
When Cangshang was sent to the palace, Su Huaijing was only six years old. Seeing how adorable the puppy was, the empress dowager gave it to Su Huaijing, and they lived and ate together for two whole years. It was not until the palace incident that Cangshang was nearly burned to death, and was rescued by the eunuchs and sent back to Shoukang Palace. At that time, its left front leg was injured to the bone, and it was still whimpering and scratching at the fire.
Rong Tang digested this information for a while and asked in amazement: "Can it recognize you?"
Su Huaijing: "If it can't even recognize me, it would be a real disservice to its ancestral bloodline."
Ahead was a blocked palace with no lights on. Su Huaijing took a quick look and then retracted his steps, leading Rong Tang back: "Wolfhounds can smell scents that humans can't, and the Snow Wolf Clan is even more outstanding in this ability. How could it not recognize me?"
Whether it's changing bones or disguising one's appearance, they are all meant to deceive people's eyes. It would be strange if one could hide it from all living beings in this world.
So when Xingfeng came back from the palace for the first time and told him that Canshang had been observing him in secret, Su Huaijing knew that this wolfhound still had the blood of galloping on the grassland in his bones.
But he also recognized the Lord.
The Queen Mother is not its owner, Su Huaijing is.
Su Huaijing smiled and said, "So Tangtang doesn't have to be afraid of it. It won't dare to bite you even if it's extremely hungry."
"Why?" Rong Tang had some guesses in his mind, but still couldn't help asking.
Su Huaijing: "You have my scent on you, and it's afraid that I will punish it if it bites you."
Rong Tang paused for a while, recalling the scene in his previous life where Shen Shang lay on him and sniffed for a long time, but then retracted his fangs and left.
Smell
He and Su Huaijing were not so close in their previous two lives.
"Distracted again." A soft sigh came from beside. Shaohua Palace was right in front of him. Everywhere he looked was bright lights, but behind him was a vast expanse of darkness and silence. After eating the rabbit meat, Cang Shang licked his paws in the corner, only occasionally raising his animal eyes to look here.
Rong Tang felt nervous for no reason. He looked at Su Huaijing and said defensively, "I wasn't distracted."
Su Huaijing looked at him, and after a long silence, he smiled and said, "Liar."
Rong Tang's face flushed, with the embarrassment of being caught lying, but more importantly, it was caused by the person in front of him suddenly approaching and breathing heavily.
It was very similar to the feeling when Shen Shang lay on him and sniffed the scent, except that at that time it was a warning, but this time it was more like some kind of danger marking the territory.
Su Huaijing asked: "Tangtang is full, right?"
Rong Tang was slightly stunned, and almost didn't follow the topic he jumped off. After a moment's thought, he nodded: "I'm full."
—If half a bowl of soup and a few pieces of meat can fill your stomach.
He was lying, but he told more than one lie. Su Huaijing was kind enough not to bother with him.
He simply lowered his head and pushed Rong Tang to the nearest plum tree, with his back against the roots, the fragrance of plum blossoms blooming above his head.
Su Huaijing smiled softly: "Tangtang wouldn't think that I don't care at all, right?"
Rong Tang's whole body stiffened, and he thought to himself, it finally came!
The table of food that Sheng Chengli sent was meant to kill him!
He was flustered and wanted to explain, but Su Huaijing gently rubbed the back of his hand a few times and whispered, "Relax, I'm not a bad person."
"Let me explain..." Rong Tang said dryly.
Su Huaijing nodded seriously: "Well, Tangtang, take your time to make it up, I'm just asking for some interest."
A gentle kiss passed by the ear, all the way down to the cheek, passed the side of the neck, and bit the Adam's apple.
The palace maids filed out and the dinner finally started, but they were doing evil things under a tree where no one was passing by, and were witnessed by a wolfhound that recognized its master.
A stinging sensation came over him, and Rong Tang couldn't help but groan.
Su Huaijing smiled softly, raised his head and asked, "Is Tangtang finished editing?"
The Adam's apple is the most fragile part, and tears will well up if bitten by anyone. Rong Tang stared at him with eyes filled with physiological tears, silently accusing him.
Su Huaijing seemed to realize his mistake and said consciously, "I really shouldn't have hurt Tangtang."
But the next second, the kiss fell on the side of the eye, slid down from the brow bone, and licked away the tears that should not have overflowed.
Rong Tang's legs felt a little weak, and his fingers unconsciously dug into the bark of the tree, but Su Huaijing said, "Tangtang, stop making up stories. I don't believe anything you say, so just stop talking."
Before Rong Tang could refute, his lips, which had been stirring up trouble everywhere but never getting to the point, finally found the most suitable place.
Su Huaijing bit Rong Tang's lips, like a beast marking its mate, his voice hoarse and lazy: "You are going to lie to me anyway, why not just coax me directly."
Anyway, Tangtang teaches Sheng Chengli but not him.
Anyway, I can’t enter Tangtang’s dream.
Anyway, it took him a long time to figure out Tangtang's taste, but Sheng Chengli knew her like the back of his hand after just one meeting.
bother.
Tangtang is not allowed to speak. Everything she says is a lie.
"Well… "
Rong Tang widened his eyes, tears seeping out of the corners of his eyes.
So what's the point of you licking it so clean!
You still want to bully me!
asshole!
The dog is still watching!!!
