set of flowers

There are two places separated by bamboo curtains, one is where An Qingxuan is sitting, and the other is where An Mingxi is standing.

An Qingxuan sat on a soft couch with a thin blanket on his legs crossed. In the center of the couch was a square table with documents placed on it.He raised his hand to cover his mouth with a handkerchief, and after coughing muffledly, he put his hand down and asked, "What about you? How do you miss him?" Years of coughing hurt his throat, making his voice slightly hoarse.

The person outside the curtain replied: "He will not be Daning's hidden danger."

"Can you be sure?"

"can."

"Every time you ask about it, you only mention the good, not the bad."

Hearing no reply, An Qingxuan said again: "Is he perfect, or are you overly protective?"

"If he is not worthy of praise, why did the emperor want him to win the imperial examination and let him be in charge of the imperial army?"

"He is not much better than the other candidates. He has read a lot of books, but he is not deeply involved in the world, and his strategy is naive. What is commendable is his age and his surname is Hua! But it doesn't mean that I can allow him to disregard the rules—" He said , An Qingxuan suddenly coughed, coughing hard, as if he wanted to cough his heart and lungs onto the handkerchief.

The bamboo curtain was pushed up, and An Qingxuan hurriedly stopped him: "Go back!" He didn't look at the handkerchief in his hand until An Mingxi stopped. There was a little red blood on the golden brocade. An Qingxuan folded the handkerchief and wiped it with a clean cloth. Wiping his lips on that side, he softened his tone and said, "Extremely naive, whether it's you or him."

No matter how many words he wanted to refute, An Mingxi just listened quietly to avoid angering An Qingxuan.

"The day before yesterday, he went to see you?"

"……Yes."

"Does he treat me as nothing? If I give him military power, he can be lawless? This is my world, and the six armies are all my soldiers. I can take back everything he owns at any time... No matter how he got into it You didn't leave the palace all night... Do you want to be the second Prince Gong?"

A trace of cold passed through, making An Mingxi's hairs stand on end.

An Qingxuan's reprimand was not straightforward, and the meaning of using An Qingfeng as an example was also superficial. Even if An Qingxuan hadn't misunderstood, An Mingxi, who was ashamed of indulgence, felt humiliated.An Mingxi pretended to be calm and said: "He has already made a break with me, and there will be no next time."

"It's best." An Qingxuan didn't want to talk about the love between his son and the man anymore, "Shiyu...he's going to hold a hundred-day banquet, right?" A muffled cough.

"Yes."

"How do you get along with Mrs. Li?"

"He is virtuous and generous, and he knows how to take care of the Chonghua Palace better than me. There is nothing to criticize."

"So you have no affection for her?"

"……No."

"If you are not satisfied with the person I picked, you can choose yourself."

"I'm not interested in women."

"Not interested? Did Shi Yu conjure it out of thin air?" An Qingxuan questioned his words, and even suspected that his "not interested" was influenced by Hua Qianyu's return.

"I can no longer share the same bed with a woman, and it is impossible to have a second Shigure. Please forgive me, Father."

An Qingxuan frowned: "Do you want to become a monk?"

"Father, it is impossible for me to like women."

An Qingxuan suddenly thought of An Qingfeng. An Mingxi, who said that it was impossible to like women at this time, was exactly the same as An Qingfeng at that time, and now he seemed to replace Yan Huizhi in the past.

An Qingxuan clenched the handkerchief in his hand - he could not be Yan Huizhi.

"Shiyu is your flesh and blood?"

"Yes."

Since he can marry Li Xiangling and have children, An Mingxi is different from An Qingfeng after all. An Qingxuan thinks that he is helping An Mingxi, who is addicted to masculinity, to get rid of the illusion - men will think that they like men just because they combine emotions such as admiration and admiration. Love confusion.If it wasn't for Yan Huizhi's extreme actions back then, which made An Qingfeng hate women deeply, An Qingfeng would not have been bewitched by men to this day.

After coughing heavily, An Qingxuan cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice, "You are a man."

"After I have a son, I won't be entangled with men to embarrass the royal family. Father doesn't have to worry about me." An Mingxi's voice was soft and sincere, but An Qingxuan didn't feel comforted.

"Do you think that everything I do is just for the face of the royal family?"

The people outside the curtain had nothing to say, and after a while, he changed his words: "Except for marrying a wife and having children, Mingxi will do what the emperor expects."

Reluctant to respond is the default, An Mingxi's answer, An Qingxuan has already received it.An Qingxuan thought he had been misunderstood, and realized that even today An Mingxi is unable to appreciate the "happiness of ordinary people". He couldn't believe it, so he asked again: "Where is Shiyu? Have you ever thought that his birth was from heaven?" gift?"

An Mingxi doesn't want to be forced to marry a wife and have children, and he doesn't want to take away other people's lives anymore. He no longer avoids talking: "If it wasn't for my father's hope, I'd rather he never existed."

Exhaustion hit his shoulders like waves one after another, bending An Qingxuan's waist.Years of illness made him vulnerable and made him cherish those around him even more.

An Qingxuan asked: "Do you hate me?" He had heard An Qingfeng say the most vicious words to Yan Huizhi.

"Father is too worried, today's words are not out of resentment, but hope to get forgiveness from father."

Not wanting to say any more, An Qingxuan waved his hand, "Go back..."

Suddenly, An Qingxuan coughed hard again, An Mingxi said: "The imperial doctor said that Father's condition has improved, does Father feel more relaxed recently?" It is normal for An Qingxuan to cough like this, but An Ming Hee can't get used to it yet.

"I'm fine, let's go back."

After hesitating, An Mingxi replied: "Father is good to rest, and my son will retire."

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, An Qingxuan let out a long sigh. He looked at the handkerchief tightly held in his hand, and said in his heart: In the past, he would argue with me, but now... is he concerned about my body or my position...

When a person is about to die, he still cannot change his bad habit of being suspicious.He knew that for the sake of the throne, An Mingxi could pretend to like women.

……

Other people's laughter passed through the window lattice, and the flirtatious words were repeated, making the old servant sitting at the wooden table in the middle of the room restless.Hua Qianshu laughed at him: "I didn't let you touch the young lady, you just sat down, and this kind of up and down—what? Could it be that you are still looking forward to it?"

Hearing this, the old servant sat down firmly on his buttocks, and wrinkled his face in disbelief: "Young master, what are you doing here? This is not... not... oops!" Shame limited his expression, and he couldn't tell for a long time.

Hua Qianshu poured him tea, and said, "Don't be nervous, just watch." He just put down the kettle when the door was pushed open. Enter and eventually merge in a row.

"Look carefully, senior officials, to see which young lady suits your heart." Mr. Gui squinted his eyes, showing a few pairs of wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. No matter how "sincere" his smile was, it couldn't hide the word "money" in his eyes.

Hua Qianshu nodded, and glanced at these men with powder on their faces, gold hairpins on their heads, and cool clothes.

Hua Qianshu held up the folding fan, but couldn't cover the corners of her mouth, she was slandering the taste of the tortoise in her heart - it would be better to walk two steps to the next building to find a woman than to come here to find a man.

But... since he can be favored by Chang Xiyuan, his skin is probably not bad.

Hua Qianshu observed the faces and figures of the boys, and soon locked his eyes on the man at the head.Although the dress is not to his liking, at least his face is in the shape he likes - narrow and charming phoenix eyes, well-defined lips, upon closer inspection, he looks somewhat similar to An Mingxi.

Hua Qianshu left behind the first young lady, and asked Mr. Gui to take the rest out.

Without waiting for the waiter to entertain you, Hua Qianshu said, "Don't try to please me, I want to know your true nature."

"The official means..."

"Don't worry, even if you point my nose and scold me, I will give you a bounty—generally, let's talk."

The young man was clever and knew everything. He sat down opposite Hua Qianshu, leaned his upper body forward, and asked curiously, "Is the young master here for a heart-to-heart talk?"

Xiao Guan thought to himself: You can't come to find someone to scold you.

"Of course not," Hua Qianshu put away her fan and smiled, "Do you like men?"

Being asked like this, Xiao Guan seemed to feel embarrassed, his expression changed a little, but he soon recovered his smile: "If you are such a handsome man as Young Master, of course Xing'er likes it."

"Okay, that's no problem," Hua Qianshu clapped his palms together, and lightly tapped the fan bone with his left hand, "Do you want to leave?"

"Son..."

Hua Qianshu jumped too fast, Xiao Guan couldn't keep up with his train of thought.Xiao Guan didn't have time to ask where "Leaving" was going, so she heard Hua Qianshu announce: "I will redeem you."

……

When Hua Qianshu sent Uncle Chen back to Zhuge's mansion, Zhuge Xingyun also came out of the mansion - it was no coincidence, Zhuge Xingyun waited for him in the vestibule for quite a while before he could stop the carriage when it was about to leave. Get out of the carriage.

Zhuge Xingyun lifted the bamboo curtain and looked at the two people in the car.Intentionally or not, the young lady who was redeemed by Hua Qianshu leaned towards Hua Qianshu, holding Hua Qianshu's arm with both hands, as if threatened by Zhuge Xingyun.

Zhuge Xingyun couldn't help but frowned, then stretched out his hand to Hua Qianshu and said, "Come down."

Hua Qianshu smiled, and said to the young man: "Wait a minute." The young man let go, and he put his hand on Zhuge Xingyun's hand, and got off the carriage under Zhuge Xingyun's leadership, and was taken to the mansion again. In the bedroom.

When Hua Qianshu stepped into the room, Zhuge Xingyun closed the door, and forced him to retreat, to lean his back against the door, and to look at him.

Hua Qianshu looked at Zhuge Xingyun's two hands pressing the door, and asked: "What's wrong?" He obviously did nothing wrong, but he felt guilty under such circumstances.

"Where did you go?" Zhuge Xingyun asked.

"Chang Xiyuan." Hua Qianshu called out without thinking.

"What are you going to Changxiyuan for? Is it not enough for me?"

For such questioning, Hua Qianshu was already prepared: "Chen Bo can testify, I have not crossed the line." Chen Bo is the old servant Hua Qianshu brought to Changxi Courtyard, and also the chief steward of Zhuge Mansion.

"That's to..."

"Finding a new love for my poor brother."

It seemed that the person in the car was Hua Qianshu's so-called "brother Xinhuan", Zhuge Xingyun heaved a sigh of relief, but he didn't think it was a good idea.

"Looking for a new love from Changxi Courtyard?"

"Look down on Xiaowan?" Hua Qianshu asked back.

"What he needs is not a male pet."

Hua Qianshu leaned against the wooden door and explained lazily: "Le Yang is still staying in Beijiang. His friends are pitifully few. If we don't find him a partner, he will suffocate to death." He looks like he gets along well with everyone, but maybe because he has high vision and disdains to maintain superficial friendship, the five fingers of friends who really have contacts can't get together.

"Are you looking for a lover or a friend for him?"

"If it's possible, of course it's a bed partner. I'll redeem him, and he'll help me please Qianyu, so I can set him free in the future, isn't it too much?"

Zhuge Xingyun obviously did not agree with his approach: "You don't ask Qianyu's opinion?"

"Can he agree?

"You know he disagrees."

"Stop," Hua Qianshu didn't want to argue with him anymore, "let's see the situation first."

Zhuge Xingyun sighed, and then asked: "Why are you looking for Uncle Chen instead of me?"

"You are quite well-known in the capital. If someone knows that you go to the brothel as a young man, how do you think your colleagues will evaluate you?"

"At least give advance notice."

"You're not here."

"Can't wait for me to come back?"

The more Zhuge Xingyun talked, the closer he got, Hua Qianshu hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth, put on a smiling face, pushed Zhuge Xingyun away, and said: "Someone is waiting, next time." Then he opened the door and left.

Zhuge Xingyun looked at his handsome back and thought: Are you too lazy to kiss me?Could it be... bored?
