Give you a spring

On the second day, the two of them didn't get up until the sun was up. Pingwei slept well, but He Zhou entangled him like an octopus, so hard that he woke up the person next to his pillow in the middle of the night.

After washing up, he opened the door, and saw Uncle Xu standing in front, with his right hand raised, as if he wanted to knock on the door earlier.

"..." Ping Wei's hand on the door froze.

Uncle Xu took a step back, bent over and said, "It's the old slave who frightened His Highness."

"It's okay." Ping Wei quickly recovered, and took a step forward, closed the open door, walked to Xu Bo's side and asked, "Is lunch ready, I'm a bit hungry."

"It's been done for a long time, but His Highness hasn't come out of the room, I dare not disturb. I wanted to find Guard He, but I didn't see him come out to answer me after knocking on the door for a long time. It's really outside..." Xu Uncle walked towards the front hall peacefully while talking, and suddenly saw the closed door behind him being opened again, he turned his head back reflexively, and immediately froze on the spot——

I saw He Shiwei who "knocked on the door and didn't answer" came out of it.

"..."

"What happened outside?" Ping Wei asked nonchalantly without looking at He Zhou.

"Ah..." Uncle Xu moved his astonished eyes away from He Zhou's face little by little, and said, "The second son of the Liang family came to the other courtyard early in the morning, and it seems that he wants to visit His Highness."

"Liang Jingzhao?" Ping Wei recalled who it was, "Is it the son of General Liang of the Ministry of War? What is he here for?"

"Want to come to meet His Highness? You brought a lot of gifts."

"Did you wait a long time?"

"It's been a while."

Hearing this, Ping Wei immediately walked towards the front hall, and before leaving, he did not forget to give the "innocent" person a look, and he will deal with you when he comes back.

He Zhou didn't feel any pain or itching, and smiled with the corners of his mouth open for the first time.

The flirtatious interaction between the two was completely noticed by Uncle Xu. He guessed that the relationship between the two was not an ordinary master-servant relationship, but he didn't dare to think about it, so he pretended to be blind and led Ping Wei forward.

Liang Jingzhao was dragged from the bed early this morning, stuffed with a bunch of gifts, and only said that he was asked to visit someone, and then came to the other courtyard in a daze, wanting to put down the things and say a few words before leaving.Unexpectedly, the owner of the house didn't wake up until noon. He stared at the butler in the living room, how embarrassing it was—then he held his breath, and planned to say something strange when he saw the man next time , leaving him speechless.

Jing Zhao has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is very good, so when he heard the sound of anxious footsteps coming from the back room, he immediately jumped up and pointed at Ping Wei, ready to strike first.

However, he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

How should I put it, maybe the other party is too good-looking, or maybe it's his young master Liang showing mercy, anyway, the moment he saw Ping Wei, Jing Zhao lost the desire to be a demon.

Seeing his attitude at the beginning, Ping Wei knew that the other party had waited for too long and felt irritated, so she hurried over to apologize to him, "I'm so sorry for making Brother Liang wait so long as a result of the exhaustion of traveling and traveling these two days, which caused me to wake up late this morning. Xie Xu, just call me Pingwei."

"Oh..." Liang Jingzhao blinked, "It's okay, if my father hadn't asked someone to wake me up today, I could have slept until now." After he finished speaking, he turned and pointed to the gift he brought over , "This is all sent by our Liang family."

Ping Wei glanced quickly, and asked probingly, "Brother Liang and I just met today, why did you bring so many valuables here suddenly?"

"When you first entered the city yesterday, my father happened to be standing on the city wall. He saw Mr. Guan from the Ministry of Industry coming to pick you up in person. He felt that you were an unusual person, so he asked me to come and visit you." Answer all questions without going around in circles.

So General Liang didn't know that he was the prince, but he asked his son to come over to test him out because he had doubts.

I didn't expect to be noticed so quickly and came to the door. Ping Wei looked at the carefree young master and asked softly, "Brother Liang, have you eaten? If not, we can have lunch together. I treat it as a treat." I have waited so long for my apology."

"Okay!" When it comes to eating, Jingzhao's eyes light up, "I'm just hungry. Jingzhong just opened a new restaurant recently. I haven't been there yet. Do you want to try it?"

He approached Pingwei and raised his big hand, as if he wanted to hug Pingwei's shoulder.

Pingwei's eyelids twitched, and just as he was about to say something to stop him, He Zhou had already stepped forward behind him. Before Young Master Liang's hand touched Pingwei's shoulder, he felt someone silently appearing behind him, and his arm was actually taken by someone. Grab it and stay still.

Liang Jingzhao said "Huh?", and immediately reacted, cutting He Zhou's arm with his free hand like a knife.He Zhou let go, half bent down and swept his right leg forward, trying to trip him, but Jing Zhao was faster than him, jumped away as light as a swallow, stood beside him and smiled at him, "Come on."

He Zhou raised his eyes and glanced at him, then leaned forward expressionlessly.

...the two actually fought in this hall.

Ping Wei moved to the side and stood with Xu Bo.

"It's so easy to fight..." Uncle Xu realized that the relationship between His Highness and his personal bodyguard was not normal before, and General Liang's son actually fought with His Highness's bodyguard behind him, and he couldn't help feeling a little tired.

"It's okay," Ping Wei reassured, "They're just playing around."

"Are you kidding around, but the young master of the Liang family seems very excited."

"For him, it's very rare to meet an opponent like He Zhou," Ping Wei watched the movements of the two men, and after a while, Liang Jingzhao had not lost the wind, he sighed from the bottom of his heart, "General Liang Taught my son well."

This was heard by Liang Jingzhao, who was dismantling He Zhou's moves, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, "I have been learning martial arts since I was five years old... huh!" He suddenly screamed strangely, and spoke very fast, "You man Why did you suddenly strike so hard?!"

It was He Zhou who was talking about. The two were originally evenly matched, but they didn't know which sentence just hit He Zhou, and the moves were completely different from before, and became extremely fierce.

He Zhou ignored him, only focused on attacking, his eyes were sharp and sharp, and his whole aura suddenly changed—Liang Jingzhao discovered that the other party hadn't taken him seriously before!

He was frightened and frightened, and he hastened to deal with it. However, He Zhou's movements were so unpredictable that he couldn't stand it at all. Fortunately, Ping Wei, who was next to him, noticed Liang Jingzhao's embarrassment, and stopped him with a gentle voice, "Okay, everything Stop it."

In this way, the hand that was about to pinch Liang Jingzhao's neck was slowly withdrawn.

Liang Jingzhao was covered in hot sweat. He stood there panting and asked Ping Wei who came over, "Is he your bodyguard? His skill is really good."

"Brother Liang is also very skilled," Ping Wei walked to He Zhou's side, and secretly pinched his hand with his wide sleeve.

"Just call me Jingzhao."

"He doesn't know you that well," He Zhou said coldly.

"Ah?" Liang Jingzhao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't get angry when he was contradicted, and smiled, "After that, I became familiar."

He Zhou showed displeasure on his face. He had been staring at Ping Wei since he came in just now, and then he was praised for his good skills, but now he actually asked Ping Wei to call him by name directly. He is now jealous and angry no.

Ping Wei pulled him back and changed the subject, "Will brother Liang go to this year's martial arts exam?"

"Yes," Liang Jingzhao said, "My father asked someone to sign up a few months ago. Is this brother going?"

He looked at He Zhou with great interest.

He Zhou didn't answer, Ping Wei helped him back, "He went, maybe he will compete with Brother Liang on stage then."

"Then he's finished," holding him back doesn't mean that He Zhou can't speak sarcasm, his mouth, which usually doesn't say a word easily, now seems to be blessed, very "speaking".

Liang Jingzhao didn't hear his eccentricity, but thought he was telling the truth. He Zhou's skills were far superior to his. Young Master Liang said with a smile, "It's okay if we meet at the end, but if it's the first try... then I I can’t explain it to my family. My father gave me a death order, and I must be in the top three.”

"It can't be such a coincidence," Ping Wei paused, thinking that he couldn't say too much, and added silently, "If you lose, there will be a retest."

"That's too embarrassing," Liang Jingzhao gave him a helpless look.

Ping smiled and said, "Didn't you say you are going to lunch, brother Liang will lead the way?"

"it is good."

Liang Jingzhao walked out of the other courtyard first, and Xu Bo greeted him, "Your Highness, the table of dishes prepared in the kitchen earlier..."

"It's okay, come back to eat at night, it will be cold and not easy to break."

Ping Wei replied softly, tugged the sleeve of He Zhou next to him, and whispered in his ear, "Be quiet," and walked out of the yard with him.

The teahouse the three of them went to was called Baxianju, and there were a lot of people, but Young Master Liang went through the back door and was assigned to a high-quality private room.

The secluded environment is just right for small talk.

Ping Wei asked, "Brother Liang, what are your plans after the martial arts exam?"

"Well...it should be reporting to General Jiang's Beiting Army," Jing Zhao said.

"Will General Liang agree? Go to a place as far as the frontier."

"If he refuses, I will go too. The Beiting Army is the number one army in Daqi, and it guards such important areas as the border. My father asked me to practice martial arts since I was a child, and he just hoped that I could contribute to Daqi."

Hearing this, Ping Wei glanced at the indifferent He Zhou beside him, and really wanted to say that there was a person who refused to go even if he died last night.

"What's the matter?" Liang Jingzhao noticed his eyes and looked at He Zhou, "Brother He is going too?"

"Go after passing the martial arts exam," He Zhou replied unprecedentedly.

"That's good," Jingzhao agreed with some acquaintances, it would not be so lonely in the frontier.

He Zhou was expressionless, he was thinking about how to deal with this annoying guy in Bianjiang.

After Xiaoer came up, Jingzhao reported a lot of dish names, all of which were local snacks in Linjing, presumably because Pingwei was new here and hadn't tasted the food here yet.

Ping Wei let him do it, and sat next to He Zhou without talking.

"Wait," the boy wrote down seven or eight dishes and turned to leave, when Liang Jingzhao stopped him at the door, "Let's have another pot of green bamboo leaves."

This is the name of the wine, Ping Wei's eyelids twitched, and just about to stop it, He Zhou said, "He can't drink."

"Why?" Liang Jingzhao asked in amazement, "I heard that the bamboo leaf green brew here is very good. Although it is daytime, the concentration is not high, and it's okay to drink a little."

"He turned red all over after drinking."

"Isn't it okay at all?" Liang Jingzhao knew that some people had this symptom, but it didn't matter if he took a sip, right?He looked at Ping Wei inquiringly, who shook his head, while He Zhou said firmly, "No."

"Okay..." So Jing Zhao waved to the waiter, canceled the pot of wine, turned to He Zhou and asked, "No, how did you know that Ping Wei's whole body would turn red?"

This involves some things that can't be said, He Zhou suddenly showed a deep smile on his expressionless face, he hooked his mouth, looked at the silent Xie Pingwei, and said nothing.

"I told him," Ping Wei prevaricated, "Let's not talk about this, the Lantern Festival is two days away, will Brother Liang go?"

"Of course, I'm going to tell you about this. This year's Shangyuan Festival will be very lively. It is said that the upper household department had a quarrel with the etiquette department because of the excessive expenses in the morning," Jing Zhao looked at with bright eyes. Xiang Pingwei, "Do you want to come out to play together then?"

"Well, we should be able to meet each other." Ping Wei said warmly.

"Where is it, in the palace?"

Jing Zhao asked pointedly, remembering that the purpose of his old man sending him to the other courtyard today was to ask him to find out who this new young master is.

Ping Wei didn't answer, just asked, "Is this year's banquet held in the palace, or on the moon-watching platform?"

"It should be the moon-watching platform. If there are fireworks, that's the best place to watch it."

"Then we should meet there." To be able to participate in the banquet hosted by the emperor, it must be someone from the palace. Ping Wei thought that he had given enough hints. He didn't want to hide it from the other party, and he would know it two days later. But I didn't want to say it clearly, so as not to attract the attention of the two princes Xie Shi and Xie Lianzheng in advance.

Liang Jingzhao said "Oh", but he didn't know if he understood.The dishes came up quickly, and the table was full. His interest in food was obviously higher than the topic just now, and he introduced each dish with great interest, like a few treasures.

Ping Wei also likes to eat, and listens to him attentively while eating, but compared to the two of them, He Zhou has no interest in these foods, and only focuses on serving Ping Wei.

Liang Jingzhao noticed his movements and sighed, "You two have such a good relationship."

"It's natural," Ping Wei was busy eating, and He Zhou answered for him, "We knew each other a long time ago."

"How long ago?"

"13 years ago."

"It's been so long," Jingzhao was surprised, "Can you tell me about it?"

He Zhou was about to fabricate a touching love story based on the facts, Ping Wei coughed a few times, and rushed in front of him and said concisely, "One year when I went out, I saw a child abandoned by the roadside, so I Take him home and raise him."

Jing Zhao blinked, "That's it?"

"Yes," Ping Wei held He Zhou's hand under the table to prevent him from messing around.

A smile flashed across He Zhou's eyes.

"Speaking of which, I seem to have done things like saving people when I was a child..." Jing Zhao murmured thoughtfully, and then asked, "Then where have you been for the past 13 years?"

"Yu An, but I often go out, we have been to many places together," He Zhou said in a pinch.

"Where?" Liang Jingzhao asked.

"You don't need to know this, it's more than you think," He Zhou smirked.

Jingzhao said "Oh", "Is it traveling? Or did you go because you have something to do?"

"It can be said that it is to make money," He Zhou looked at the person opposite, and emphasized his tone, "We have experienced many things, so I have a deep relationship with him."

"Oh..." Liang Jingzhao didn't know why he emphasized it so much, and nodded with a vague understanding.

Ping Wei fully understood what He Zhou wanted to express, and looked at He Zhou helplessly, and the other party raised the corners of his mouth and gave him a gentle smile.

After finishing the meal in a complicated atmosphere, Liang Jingzhao was a little tired after getting up early and eating and drinking. Ping Wei sent him out of the shop and watched the carriage leave.

He Zhou stood beside him, watching the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, and asked casually, "Do you want to go shopping?"

"You..." Ping Wei sighed, walked out of the tea house with him, and wandered aimlessly in the street.

He Zhou was sticking to his side like maltose. He noticed that Pingwei was a little angry, and asked softly, "Don't you like to eat wontons? I'll buy them for you, okay?"

"Just had a full meal," Ping Wei stopped, turned around and looked at him, with reproach in his eyes.

"I was wrong today," He Zhou held his hand, "I heard Uncle Xu's voice in the room in the morning, but I still came out, deliberately let him notice our relationship, and then fought with Liang Jingzhao, yes He was rude. I just... wanted to let people know that you were mine..."

"So what if they know?"

"This way, I will stay away from you," He Zhou clenched Pingwei's hand, wanting to kiss his face, and said after a while, "Since coming to Linjing, people have been appearing by your side, and I I'm about to take the martial arts test and go to the frontier..."

Naturally, he felt uneasy and wanted to declare his sovereignty in front of others.

He lowered his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Can I kiss you?"

Ping smiled slightly, pulled him into an alley, let the other party bite his lips, and only said after he had kissed enough, "Didn't I say everything in Langqiao that year?"

He Zhou was stunned, but after a few words, he was brought back to the days in Langqiao a few years ago.

He Zhou has no father or mother. Before he was nine years old, he thought about how to survive without starving and freezing to death. After he was nine years old, he thought about how to hold Pingwei firmly in his hands.

He can't remember when he fell in love with Pingwei. At first, this feeling was an inconspicuous seed, buried tightly in the soil. Later, as the two got along, it gradually sprouted and grew, and it reached a point that could not be ignored. the point.

So at the age of 16, he confessed.

I didn’t think much about it before, but one day after finishing my business in Langqiao, Hepingwei passed by a private school where the gentleman happened to be teaching a line of poetry. , found a girl who was selling flowers, and bought a flower branch for Ping Wei.

But today in Linjing City, when Ping Wei brought up this matter again, He Zhou immediately "enlightened" and turned to walk down the street.

Ping Wei grabbed him, "What are you doing?"

"Buy flowers." He Zhou said without looking back.

Ping smiled and said, "Do you want to coax me with this?"

"No," He Zhou intertwined fingers with each other, leaning into his ear and said, "It's a confession, I love you."

What the teacher taught that year was a poem by Lu Kai, what was the name? He Zhou forgot, he only remembered that line.

"Jiangnan has nothing, let's talk about a spring."

I have nothing, but I would like to give you the best of myself.

16-year-old He Zhou put the flowers in front of Ping Wei with a blushing face, without saying a word.And the person he likes is born smart, after a while, he put away the flowers, walked up to He Zhou, said with a smile on his mouth, "I see."

He Zhou stared at him without blinking, and asked, "So, are you mine?"

He spoke slowly, as if giving Ping Wei time to think about it, or even regret it.

However, the other party answered in the next second, and he said, "I am yours."

In the alley, He Zhou's uneasy heart since he came to the capital finally subsided, he turned his head sideways, and bit Ping Wei's naked neck.

"you are mine."
