Once upon a time in the western mountains and forests, Ning Xinghe unbuttoned his armor and wrapped himself in his arms to keep warm; when he was dying, Ning Xinghe leaned against the rock wall and hugged himself tightly, and his tone was like this: "Don't be afraid, Your Highness, this subordinate will definitely bring you back to Qingdu safely."

At that time, as a pampered prince in the imperial city, he always only knew how to drink in luxurious buildings and listen to songs on high platforms. He was really afraid when he suddenly fell into a difficult and dangerous situation where his life was hanging by a thread; Calm down for no reason.Moreover, under the high fever, drinking Ning Xinghe's blood, he unconsciously came up with some vague thoughts - when he returned to Qingdu, those thoughts began to grow wildly in his heart like weeds caught in the spring breeze.

Although Tian Zong has always been gentle and polite on the surface, he actually prides himself on himself; as a noble prince, he is used to seeing the clouds of beauties, and he always only thinks that his heart is like a wild crane flying high, and no one can catch it.He never thought about it, but unexpectedly, he fell into the shallow eyes of the guards beside him.

Only then did he truly understand what kind of deep emotions Ning Xinghe had been hiding in the eyes that had been silently watching him all this time.

It was also from then on that Tian Zong began to deliberately stay away from Ning Xinghe.

The Daying royal family attaches great importance to reputation, and has always been restrained in love/things, but as the second son of the emperor, if he is occasionally absurd, no one will be held accountable; while Xinghe fought all the way to the command of the palace guards by bleeding blood and sweat. s position.The brothers of the Ning family were born with beautiful and beautiful faces. In the past, there were people with malicious intentions who made waves without any trouble, secretly spreading rumors and slandering them to serve others; now they finally got ahead with their hard work, and he didn't want Xinghe to get into any gossip again. , being ridiculed by others, tarnishing the reputation of the Ning family and obliterating their efforts.

Once upon a time, it was a difficult time.Although the enthusiasm in his heart is ready to come out, Tian Zong can only try his best to pretend that everything is as usual; occasionally meeting the Xinghe's eyes across the sky, he will immediately turn away as if being scalded by boiling water.Maybe Xinghe noticed the change in his mind early in the morning, he never learned to completely hide his eyes, not to mention Xinghe has always been so familiar with his gestures...

It wasn't until that day that he lost control of his drunkenness that he finally calmed down and recommended Xinghe to be a guard in the imperial palace, and removed him from his side.

Looking at it now, that bit of emotional sorrow is nothing more than a youthful youth looking for trouble, it is nothing more than a carefree second prince trying to compose a new poem, not even a qualified romance.

But at this moment, he admitted his uselessness and cowardice, escaped from the East Palace study, and hid in the depths of the garden.He needs a moment to breathe, and the only person he needs is Ning Xinghe.

However, as the tears flowed, his sanity was slowly recovering; Tian Zong struggled in his heart, wanting to let go of his arms and get away from the shoulders of the person in front of him.Ning Xinghe immediately sensed his retreat, pressed him on his shoulders, and immediately wrapped his arms around him even tighter.

The mellow spring night wind blew by, and Tian Zong finally couldn't bear the warmth of his neck, and said blankly: "Xinghe, now I don't know who to believe in me, and I don't know what I should believe. I... what should I do with you... ..."

Ning Xinghe held his face in his hands, and suddenly moved closer, his lips covered the corners of his eyes, kissed his remaining tears into his mouth, and said in a low voice: "I believe in Your Highness. With His Highness in my heart, everything is fine, Your Highness doesn't need to share." What do you think about for the minister?"

In his memory, Ning Xinghe shed tears in front of him several times, but he was always laughed at by him; I don't want to cry in front of him now.

Xinghe's hot lips followed the traces of his tears, and kissed carefully.

The two were trembling all over, and their breaths were entangled with each other.Tian Zong finally lost his mind after being kissed by him, and the fire in his heart jumped up, instantly burning those weeds into a prairie fire.

The spring breeze with the aroma of peach blossoms is intoxicating, but it is not half as good as the soft lips he kissed.

It was late at night, and in the royal garden, only swallows were heard talking in their sleep in their nests.In the depths of the peach blossom, the heir to the dynasty let himself be confused for a while, asking for it from the person he had longed for but also alienated for many years.

And that person held everything he had in front of him without reservation, allowing him to ask for anything, only fearing that he would not come to ask for it.

Although Tian Zong was inexperienced, he suddenly thought of something, sobered up for a moment, and wanted to close Xinghe's clothes: "No, don't be here in a hurry...I...haven't prepared any ointment, you will suffer..."

Ning Xinghe pressed his hand: "I'm not afraid, I'm just afraid that His Highness will drive me away again..."

Tian Zong felt a pain in his heart.When I recommended him to be a guard of the imperial palace, I made my own opinion and didn't inform him in advance.It wasn't until the transfer order was issued that Ning Xinghe knew it, and after obeying the order, he came to bid farewell to himself.It was a joy to be promoted from the head of the royal guards to the deputy commander of the imperial guards. He knelt down to thank himself for his support, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were not happy, and he only stared at himself knowingly.I couldn't stand his eyes, said a few words to encourage him to be loyal, and then urged him to take up the post.After all, he didn't say much, just quietly retreated and left Linwang Mansion.

At that time, I only wanted to end the torture of facing each other day and night as soon as possible, thinking that I could forget this absurd state of mind; In the heart, lingering.I still feel this way, and now I see the slight water in his eyes, and I realize how deeply my actions hurt him.

Even the sky no longer hesitates.But after all, he was reluctant to make him suffer. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and pressed down a branch of a peach tree, and stroked all the blooming flowers on the branch into his palm, rubbing it with a little force, and the delicate petals melted into drops of smooth juice, and the fragrance of the flower was refreshing.

Tian Zong carefully applied the flower juice on him, and both of them blushed for a while.

Ning Xinghe let him move, only closed his eyes, endured the pain, held his breath, trembled uncontrollably, and whispered: "Your Highness..."

Tian Zong put his hands behind his head, pulled off his hair crown, let his long and elegant hair spread on the grass, and corrected him: "Xinghe, call me by my name."

Ning Xinghe opened his eyes to look at him, his eyes were as bright and gorgeous as moonlight.He hesitated for a moment, perhaps because he was not used to it, but more like reluctantly, his lips moved, but he did not speak.

Tian Zong didn't force him, he just immersed himself in his warm tolerance.Deep in love, Ning Xinghe couldn't help biting his lip, swallowed his groan, scratched the ground with his fingers, and tore off every innocent grass under his body.

The night dew fell quietly, and the fragrance of grass was fresh and the fragrance of flowers was intoxicating. In the shadow of the moon, the two were tightly entangled, and each other's heartbeats were so violent that it was difficult to calm down.Tian Zong only felt that the place where the skin touched was as if being scorched by a charcoal fire, and he completely forgot where he was, let alone what the sky and the earth were.

The dark tree shadows swayed gently, tightly covering a pair of swallows who were in love but could not get close.

The next day Tianzong got up and dressed, and Li Qiu made the bed for him, and suddenly said strangely: "Eh? Your Highness, the square handkerchief you brought yesterday, but the servants have not found it anywhere? Also, the jade pendant on the sweat towel is gone?" Li Qiu Sued a crime: "It's all the negligence of the servants, so I ordered to look for it."

Tian Zong remained calm and coughed: "These small things are always lost out of sight. If you can't find them, forget them. Don't delay my palace going to court."

After lingering under the peach blossom tree last night, Xinghe urged him to leave; partly out of shame, partly out of fear that others would find him, he left his square handkerchief to Xinghe, and finally straightened his clothes and hurried to the bedroom.On the way, I only met Ning Xingye who was looking for him, but I didn't know what happened to Xinghe.

Thinking of this, I can't help regretting, what I did to Xinghe, I should stay with him for a while; but I didn't even say a word of tenderness, just left him and walked away. The loveless man sung in the opera behaves like a lover.

Li Qiu took a peek and saw that although Tian Zong's face was cloudy and uncertain, his spirit was inexplicably uplifted, as if he had shaken off the dullness of the past few days, so he couldn't help but secretly speculate.He followed Tian Zong to the Yan Qing Hall in the Chaohui, deliberately lagging behind a few steps, walked to Ning Xingye and asked in a low voice: "Commander Ning, where did you meet His Highness last night? I really didn't find anything else? Your Highness Is there anyone else around?"

Ning Xingye didn't look sideways: "Didn't I tell you, there was none, His Highness was the only one who took an empty wine jar."

Li Qiu was not reconciled, and asked: "Then, did His Highness say anything at that time?"

Ning Xingye was a little impatient: "No, not at all! His Highness was drunk last night, and he took a shower and fell asleep when he returned to the bedroom. What exactly do you want to find out? Speaking of which, you are His Highness's close servant, so ask me instead."

Li Qiu laughed and said, "Isn't this our family? Seeing His Highness looking refreshed today, I thought he had some adventures last night..."

Li Qiu spoke ambiguously, Ning Xingye glanced at him, but did not answer.Li Qiu had no choice but to shut his mouth, thinking that his highness has always been upright, if it was really a matter of pleasure, if he met a maid, it would be related to the emperor's heir, and he would not hide it; since he didn't mention it, it can be seen that there is no, so he will not talkative.

Before reaching the front hall, a little eunuch with a happy face hurriedly ran towards him: "His Royal Highness, just now there is news from Prince Duanrui's residence that the concubine Duanrui has successfully given birth and gave birth to a grandson. Your Majesty and The empress was very happy when she got the letter, Her Majesty passed on the decree that she will not come to court today, please Your Highness to preside over it on her behalf."

When everyone heard the words, they all showed joy, and they clapped their hands together to thank the gods for their blessings.

Tian Zong was also overjoyed, thinking that Tianci would eventually leave behind heirs, who must have been blessed by his ancestors in the dark, so he walked a lot more briskly.Above the court, all the ministers also heard the news, and everyone was beaming with joy.When he was going down to court, Tian Zong paid attention, he came out of the palace gate, paused for a while, looked at the end of the Jiuqu bridge in front of the palace, and saw the familiar figure headed by a row of imperial guards standing on the other side of the bridge, Turn your back on yourself.

Tian Zong remembered last night because it was the first time for him to be reckless, jerky and unrestrained; and Xing He was also experiencing this for the first time, and he must be holding his body to be on duty today. In front of him, he embraced him in his arms to comfort him, but at this moment he could only walk towards the queen's palace.

Because of the good news in the morning, the inner eunuchs and guards who followed Tian Zong were relieved when they saw that Tian Zong had swept away the gloom of many days.Ning Xingye was lively, and after a few gags, he suddenly smiled and said, "Your Highness, with this good news today, should you reward us as well?"

Tian Zong laughed and scolded: "You have a thick skin, brat."

Ning Xingye chuckled and said, "I'm not here to ask for rewards for myself, but I see that Qiu Dajian has worked so hard to serve His Highness on weekdays; and those brothers of the imperial guards, I heard that they are even awake when they sleep." As he said, Elbow pokes Liqiu.

Seeing that Tian Zong was in a good mood, Li Qiu hurriedly came to make fun of him: "The slaves are used to serving His Highness, so it's not hard work; but Commander Ning said so, if the slaves decline modestly, I'm afraid they will hurt the rewards of the guard brothers."

Tian Zong laughed, and said casually: "Then I will reward you." He was thinking about Xinghe, so he looked at Ning Xingye and asked, "Why? As the commander of the palace guards, you don't ask for money for your subordinates." Reward, asking for a reward for the imperial guards, is that what your elder brother means? He is also tired recently?"

Ning Xingye hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, don't misunderstand me. My elder brother never mentioned this matter, but I just used him as a raft to ask for rewards. Besides, elder brother has always been physically strong, so why is he tired from routine duties; I saw his face was rosy this morning, but he was very energetic."

Is his face rosy... Tian Zong couldn't help but secretly smiled, as before, showing some elation after doing something bad.So he relaxed a little, quickened his pace, and rushed to the Queen's Palace to congratulate him.
