Those Years In Quest Of Honour Mine

Chapter 5: Zhong Wan, where is my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?

Views:

Zhong Wan thought for a while that he had not woken up from his dream.

Yu Ziyou has grown a lot taller, and her eyebrows and eyes have become sharper. The perennial worry in the middle of her eyebrows when she was a teenager turned into a hostile aura, adding a bit of sinister aura to this handsome face.

Zhong Wan thought to himself whether I was awake or not, if I woke up, how could I see Yu Ziyou, if I was dreaming... How could I see this person so clearly.

Zhong Wan's hot ears were buzzing, and his mind was confused. He struggled to stand up, but his frozen hands and feet seemed to be filled with lead. He took a breath and helped the sedan chair to get up. Unable to stand firm, the legs that were unable to exert strength became weak and fell straight down.

Zhong Wan knelt in the snow and looked at Yu Ziyou's black boots, feeling that he was dreaming again.

In the dream, ten years ago, when Zhong Wan entered the palace and read with him not long ago.

At that time, the people who were taught by Grandma Shi together were Zhong Wan Yushe, the fourth prince and the fifth prince of the same age.

Among the four, although Zhong Wan was the companion to read, he was the best in both articles and talents. He overwhelmed all the sons and daughters of dragons and phoenixes. A good article was not only liked by the master, but even by Emperor Chong'an. Occasionally, when they were tested and taught, they were often praised. Emperor Chong'an also joked that he had asked Zhong Wan if he wanted to enter the Zhongshu Province.

Entering the Zhongshu Province as the emperor's secretary, is to draft edicts for the emperor.

Zhong Wan was young at the time and didn't understand Zang Feng. He said that he didn't dare to accept such a special treatment from the emperor, which made people look down on Ning Wangfu, but asked the emperor to leave a chair for himself in Zhongshu Province, only for one year. , he can clearly declare into Zi Chen.

Although Emperor Chong'an was not sure that Zhong Wan could really be a young man, he liked this bright and dazzling young man's spirit. He smiled and answered Zhong Wan's request. The fourth prince and the fifth prince were angry with their teeth.

The fifth prince, Xuan Qiong, was jealous of Zhong Wan and only used sly tricks, and pretended to be courteous to Zhong Wan. The fourth prince, Xuan Jing, had a bad temper. Zhong Wan got drunk just because he had enough alcohol.

Zhong Wan didn't lose his temper when he was drunk, but was a little confused. On the way out of the palace, he couldn't tell the way, and his head was dizzy, so he sat in a pavilion and rested.

That day, Zhong Wan met Yu She.

Xu was his nephew, Uncle Xiao, Yu She looked a bit like King Ning between his brows, and Zhong Wan was so drunk that he thought it was King Ning looking for him.

Zhong Wan consciously lost his temper. With a smile, he knelt down to greet "King Ning".

The teenager Yu She didn't understand what Zhong Wan was groaning, and asked him softly what was wrong. Zhong Wan thought that King Ning was training him. , whispered for forgiveness: "I won't drink anymore, my father will spare me... this time."

Yu She: "…"

In the clear sky, the young Yu She was recognized as a wild father in the imperial garden.

After Zhong Wan said this, he fell asleep while pulling Yu She's clothes and leaning on the other's lap. Yu She couldn't move. He hesitated and helped the person up. Can't stop, the whole person is on others, and finally...

Zhong Wan knelt in the snow and fought a cold war, thinking wildly, what happened in the end? Did Yu Ziyou take him back

So what's going on now? Is this a dream

"Zhong Wan." Yu She looked at Zhong Wan quietly and asked lightly, "Where's my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

It was as if Zhong Wan had been stabbed suddenly in the chest, it hurt his internal organs and his heart was instantly awake.

Not dreaming.

Zhong Wan understood and fell into the trap.

This sedan chair and that sedan chair bearer are all Yu She's people.

Yu She waited for a while, and when Zhong Wan didn't answer, she asked, "Can you get up?"

It wasn't ten years ago, King Ning wouldn't come to look for him, and now Yu She didn't plan to help him. Zhong Wan gritted his back molars and stood up slowly. Said: "Please be safe, Little Prince Yu."

Yu She's face was gloomy and uncertain, and after a while, he said, "Come in."

Zhong Wan didn't take anyone with him, and even if he took someone, he couldn't get out of Yu She's hands, so he could only follow inside.

Zhong Wan followed behind Yu She, glanced around, and saw that this was the courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Back then, he fell into slavery, was bought back by Yu She, and was placed here by him.

Yu She took him all the way into the warm pavilion, Zhong Wan's body was already frozen, and when he entered the warm place, he trembled slightly.

Yu She sat down, the servant served hot tea, he picked it up, and took a slow sip.

Zhong Wan stood in the hall and looked at Yu She quietly.

Yu She's appearance didn't change much, but his temperament seemed to be a different person.

After letting Zhong Wan dry for half a cup of tea, Yu She said, "You wear a lot of clothes, and you're still wearing a fur coat. After standing in the cold wind for a while, it freezes like this?"

Yu She squinted slightly, "I remember that you are in good shape."

Zhong Wan thought about it for a while, and thought about his tone, "Since I went to Qiannan, I have been unaccustomed to the soil and conditions, and I have been sick for a while. Since then, my body has been a little weak... Let the lord see a joke."

Yu She put the tea cup on the table and said lightly, "It's not the truth."

Zhong Wan endured the needle stick and seemed to have a headache.

Yu She was silent for a while and asked, "Is it related to me?"

Zhong Wan was dizzy and shook his head: "No."

Yu She sneered, as if to say that Zhong Wan was lying, but she didn't say it after all, and began to drink tea again.

Zhong Wan thought that you should hurry up with whatever you want to ask. After a while, I will faint, and you won't be able to even ask lies.

Yu She was drinking tea alone, as if she had forgotten about Zhong Wan. Zhong Wan slowly moved her fingers, knowing that she should focus on dealing with Yu She at the moment, but she couldn't help but get distracted.

Yu She really changed a lot.

What happened to him all these years

When Zhong Wan was young, walking inside and outside the palace, he heard a secret by chance.

Rumor has it that Yu She is not the father and son of Prince Yu, but the illegitimate son of Emperor Chong'an.

Such rumors are naturally justified.

For example, Emperor Chong'an's extraordinary favor towards Yu She, in comparison, the fourth and fifth princes of the same age had to stand aside.

Another example is the princes who have been unable to support Emperor Chong'an. Emperor Chong'an's eldest son and second son died one after another, and the third son was a sick child. If Yu She was really the son of Emperor Chong'an, he would be the fourth oldest in terms of age, would he? It was the emperor who believed in the teacher's words, and also knew that his succession as an emperor was unclear and would hurt the well-being of his descendants. Seeing the death of his first three sons, he was afraid that his fourth son would not be able to support him, so he did so. Sent him to the residence of his compatriot sister, Princess An Guo

There are many similar evidences, but when Zhong Wan heard this rumor when he was young, he didn't believe it.

First, Zhong Wan previously pushed forward according to Yu She's birthday, and found that none of Emperor Chong'an's concubines could give birth to Yu She in that year.

Naturally, Yu She might have been secretly given birth by an anonymous palace servant, but Yu She was named the prince at the age of one. If he was really the son of Emperor Chong'an, the emperor would give his son to Prince Yu to be the prince. , this is forcing Prince Yu to rebel.

It's not that Prince Yu can't give birth. He already has several concubines, but he is forced to make someone else's son the heir, and hand over the hereditary throne that his father's generation had won with great difficulty. How could he be willing

Zhong Wan didn't believe that Prince Yu Zhongjun could be loyal to this, raising his son for others, and giving away his ancestral inheritance by the way.

but…

Zhong Wan frowned slightly. Emperor Chong'an loved Yu She so much, why didn't he want to give him a princess? Why not do it by kissing and marrying, and maintaining the in-law relationship with a prince with a different surname

The fourth princess is indeed too young, but the third princess and Yu She are very similar in age, but Emperor Chong'an did not confer marriage.

And when Yu She asked to marry the fourth princess, he was rarely angry with him.

Zhong Wan's headache was splitting, and it was too late to think about his current situation, but he was worried for Yu She.

The emperor's son and grandson died one after another, so he began to worry about Xuan Rui and Xuan Yu. He must meet him in person. Can't others see this thought

The fourth prince Xuanjing, the fifth prince Xuanqiong, can't you see it

They are even afraid of King Ning's two sons, what about Yu She

Emperor Chong'an knew exactly how Yu She's life was, but Xuanjing and Xuanqiong would not know.

Zhong Wan was suddenly out of breath. Did these two princes take Yu She as princes to guard against

Does Emperor Chong'an really dote on Yu She, or is he a target...

Zhong Wan's mind was buzzing, and he could hardly stand up. He was so uncomfortable, he didn't hold back for a while, and blurted out, "After all these years of tossing, do you want to... avoid the chaos of the competition?"

Yu She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Yu She put the tea cup on the case, as if he had heard a big joke, and laughed to himself for a long time, Zhong Wan was secretly surprised, the previous Yu She would never be like this.

Yu She finally had enough of laughing, he coughed lightly, straightened his messy clothes, and shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in."

Zhong Wan's ears were ringing and had a headache at the moment. If he wasn't too familiar with Yu She's voice, he wouldn't be able to hear what the man said. Zhong Wan was furious: "You can't have hope at all.

Yu She paused, understood what Zhong Wan thought, laughed again, and said after a while, "What do you think?"

Yu She restrained her smile and said calmly, "I just want everyone to have a hard time."

Over the years, Zhong Wan, who had exhausted all his energy just to survive, was so angry that he almost lost his footing when he heard this.

Zhong Wan laughed, thinking to himself if he had been wiped out by the fly camp dog Gou over the years, or else how could he hear Yu She's words, and wanted to scold him for his father.

Is it bad to live

Zhong Wan was furious and his eyes were red.

Yu She looked at Zhong Wan with interest and asked, "Zhong Wan... Are you concerned about me?"

Zhong Wan didn't hear what Yu She said, and raised his eyes blankly, Yu She sneered: "Understood... You just want to get away from me, if you feel caring for me, I will let you go with my old love, right? ?"

Zhong Wan struggled to open his eyes, but now he was holding it all in one breath. If he didn't want to lose his temper in front of Yu She, he would have found a chair and sat down earlier. He could only vaguely perceive that Yu She was talking, but what he said What, he couldn't hear a word.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhong Wan's forehead, he raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, took a breath, and said unconsciously, "Ziyou, I'm uncomfortable..."

Yu She was startled, and after a while said, "Cook a bowl of ginger soup."

The servant raised his head and hurriedly agreed to go.

Zhong Wan was completely lost and confused, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Put more sugar."

Yu She: "…"

The servant was also surprised, looking at Yu She, Yu She nodded.

Zhong Wan was already confused, and when he woke up again, he was already leaning on the couch where Yu She was sitting, and the ginger soup with extra sugar was brought up. .

A bowl of ginger soup was poured into his stomach, and Zhong Wan's face became a little more bloody.

Yu She didn't say a word, just looked at Zhong Wan like that.

The servant brought another bowl to Zhong Wan, and Zhong Wan drank it in small sips. The servants of Prince Yu's mansion were very good at doing things. They added some medicines to dispel wind and cold in the ginger soup. They were all good medicinal materials. After a stick of incense, he Immediately more comfortable.

The body feels comfortable, the mind is clear, and the heart is more anxious.

What did Yu She want to do when she brought herself here

Yu She didn't speak, and Zhong Wan naturally didn't dare to say more. The two were relatively silent, one drinking tea and the other drinking medicine.

After a while, Yu She suddenly said, "Zhong Wan..."

Zhong Wan swallowed the last mouthful of ginger soup and put the small bowl on the table, faintly aware that Yu She was going to give him a good time.

Another suffocating silence.

Yu She tapped on the table and said slowly, "I have asked myself several times over the years."

Zhong Wan raised his eyes, what do you mean

Are you going to start clearing things up together

Yu She seemed to be immersed in his own past, and said slowly, "Confused all the time, always puzzled, did I... I was seriously ill and burned out my brain."

Zhong Wan was at a loss: "Huh?"

"Or did you accidentally fall off the horse and hurt your head?"

Zhong Wan was stunned, what is this all about

Yu She said lightly, "Every time, I have to believe the things that were arranged by you..."

Zhong Wan choked violently.

Yu She glanced at Zhong Wan and continued, "Every time, when I can't believe in myself, when I am shaken, I will ask my old man who has followed me since I was a child, if I have lost my memory, otherwise, why is it so romantic? Rhyme, I can't remember a single one?"

Zhong Wan coughed piercingly.

Zhong Wan covered his mouth tightly, at this juncture, he absolutely could not laugh.

Since Yu She can kill Lin Si, he can also kill himself.

But when he thought of the collapsed self-doubt of the young Yu She, and grabbed the old servant to ask if he had lost his memory, Zhong Wan couldn't help it.

Zhong Wan coughed and buried his head deeply.

Yu Ziyou looked at Zhong Wan calmly, "Laugh, don't hold back."

Zhong Wan shook his head vigorously.

Yu Ziyou curled her lips into a smile, "Dear, laugh... Laugh, I'll make you cry once."

Zhong Wan's legs softened for no reason. He could hold it back, but he didn't hold back when he heard this, and let out a laugh.

Yu Ziyou smiled: "Very good, one sound."

Zhong Wan pinched himself hard, he was much more comfortable now, he didn't dare to sit any longer, he got up and stood up.

Yu She looked at Zhong Wan for a while with a complicated look, and suddenly said, "Go away."

Zhong Wan was dumbfounded, this... let him go

Yu She got up, "I'm tired, you can go."

Zhong Wanru was amnesty, and as soon as she turned around, she heard Yu She coldly say, "Take care of your dog that can't bark, don't let him bother me again."

Zhong Wan paused, knowing that he was talking about Lin Si, hummed, and withdrew.

After the Longevity Festival, he originally planned to let Lin Si return to Qian'an, and naturally he would not bother Yu She any more.

On the way back to the Qian'an Palace, Zhong Wan struggled several times in his heart.

Zhong Wan originally planned very well. After making Emperor Chong'an completely relieved, he took his own people back to Qian'an and never returned to Beijing, but now he suddenly hesitated.

Zhong Wan thought about Yu She's situation and felt very worried.

Anyway, Xuan Rui won't need him any more, can he help Yu She with a plan or two to persuade him to get out early...

Zhong Wan instantly dismissed the idea.

Not to mention whether he can get out of his body this time, how could he possibly trust himself to help him after he had cheated on Yu She so many times.

Zhong Wan tightened the fox fur on his body and laughed at himself. Besides, he had gotten into this field, so what face would he have to find him again.

Yu She probably just wanted to warn Lin Si about what happened today. In the future... Zhong Wan didn't think Yu She would see her again.

Disgusting is not enough.

After three months, everyone will return to the bridge and return to the road, and we will probably not see each other again in this life.

At the same moment in Prince Yu's Mansion, the old housekeeper of the other courtyard waited on Yu She to go to bed, and said warmly, "Has the prince met Young Master Zhong today?"

Yu She nodded.

"The old slave also glanced through the door curtain. Master Zhong has grown a lot taller and more handsome."

Yu She didn't speak.

"There are many rumors about Shizi and Young Master Zhong. Although the aristocratic family is only a joke, they don't believe it, and it doesn't delay them wanting to marry our mansion, but it's not very good. It's okay to avoid everyone to see once at night like this. If Always meet…”

The old butler hesitated, Yu She smiled and understood what the old butler wanted to say.

"You don't want me to see him again?"

The old housekeeper dared not care about Yu She's affairs, and whispered, "I just don't think it's necessary."

"No, it is necessary."

Yu She smiled playfully, "I said it today, dare to laugh, I will let him cry once, and in a few days... I have to ask him to pay it back."
