His Royal Highness the First Prince of Daliang

Qi Changfeng's eyes wandered around between the second prince and Meng Baifan, and he instantly understood.

Strange to say, in fact, Qi Changfeng lived a transparent life since he was a child.He, a wild boy from a frontier village, can go all the way to where he is today. It is absolutely impossible to rely on his physical strength alone, relying on the legacy of his parents, the closeness of His Royal Highness, and the importance of Emperor Hui.He has always had a talent for recognizing the complex relationships and hidden emotions of those around him.

But it only happened to him, maybe it was because the friendship that accompanied him day and night in his youth was too preconceived, and Qi Chang was fascinated by his style and jealous, but he still couldn't pierce the last layer of paper between him and the little prince.

But this still did not delay him from being more relieved for the visible flames between Li Chengyu and Meng Baifan.After all, although Doctor Meng and the little prince are sisters and brothers, they have no blood relationship after all. This little thing in his family is so cute, but anyone with eyes can't be indifferent. Qi Changfeng is also afraid There is no guarantee that this "sister Meng"'s relationship will deteriorate someday.

Now that Meng Baifan has a suspected lover, Qi Changfeng can finally relax his vigilance - he really has no objection to this benefactor.It's just: According to him, Meng Baifan and Kang Ning really have an indescribable incompatibility.

Even though Qi Changfeng didn't believe in fate in any other place, he felt that the unreasonable but mysterious "incompatibility" between Meng Baifan and the little prince was very reasonable.After all, how can he neglect the lifelong affairs of his little prince, the woman he marries must be successful in everything.

Fortunately, no one came to ask Qi Changfeng what kind of woman would be happy with Kang Ning.

All in all, Qi Changfeng had never cared about the rumors in the capital that Li Chengyu hadn't married a wife and took concubines until now—there were all kinds of rumors, and it even reached the emperor's ears at one point.It caused Emperor Hui to slap his second son repeatedly during that time, and asked Li Chengyu if he had any unspeakable secrets.

Li Chengyu could have something hard to hide.He was not very popular since he was a child, and when he was 20 years old, he never moved his boyish heart towards any girl.But his own father can't doubt that he is a good south wind. According to legend, Emperor Hui even secretly told his son that if he admires someone's young man, it's not impossible.

Sure enough, the folk rumors are not groundless, his father must not be very clean himself!

So for half a year, all the favorites of Emperor Hui felt that the second prince looked at him with extremely weird eyes, and the one who suffered the most was Li Wenlun - after all, he was never married, had the most beautiful appearance, and was especially suspicious!

The capital has always liked to spread rumors and gossip about the royal family, nobles, and civil and military officials. Qi Changfeng has always listened to these gossips as a joke, but at this moment he suddenly developed some enthusiasm for the second prince's lifelong event.

It should be said that Qi Changfeng and Kang Ning are indeed close friends who grew up together, and even the reasons they made for themselves are very similar—Ms. He must take care of this girl's lifelong happiness!

So the general pulled the little prince to his side, and interceded for Li Chengyu: "It must be that the second prince has realized his prejudice and fallacies in the past two days, and he is ready to enjoy the puppet show of the fox girl scholar. Your Highness, Mr. You can’t keep such remorse at the door!”

Kang Ning thought about it, he still needs his second brother later, so he hummed suspiciously, let Li Chengyu go for the time being, and took the lead to step over the threshold and walk in.

When Li Chengyu saw his younger brother's small appearance, he wanted to squeeze him, but was blocked by Qi Changfeng indiscriminately. This General Qi was always walking between the little prince and the others intentionally or unintentionally, with his arms around Kang Ning's shoulders. , the figure and posture seem casual, but if there are martial arts masters present, you can see the direction of the man's shoulders and neck, the angle of the back and back, and the gaze that seems to be inadvertently patrolling the dark corners of the light—all this shows that He guarded the companion half a step ahead of him extremely closely.

After a few years, when Qi Changfeng smuggled the little prince out of the palace, the puppet show was still in the corner of the first house on the left hand side of Cuiyingji. Now this business is no longer what it used to be. ——Its position has been moved to the center of the Elite Collection.

In fact, in a sense, what Li Chengyu said was not wrong at all. Among the popular operas in Beijing, puppet theater was indeed a relatively unpopular one.The current puppet show has been popular in Minzhou for decades since the time of the first emperor, and it is more popular in the south from Junzhong. Dissatisfied.

Its good fortune today is almost entirely due to the preference shown by the little prince who is admired by tens of thousands of people in Daliang.

Liang people love beauty.In the Liang Dynasty, a good-looking skin can be regarded as a person's passport. This custom has been carried out well since Emperor Hui, and the more beautiful a person has always been, the more popular and popular it is.

When the famous courtesan Tayue became popular in Jiangnan in her youth, a very absurd thing happened - a Prince An who lived in Jiangnan was in the same clan as the first emperor three generations ago, and his status in the royal family was considered quite high.This Prince An heard the name of Miss Tayue, and took advantage of the beautiful night scenery to climb up to the Fang Tower of Tayue, hoping to ask for the beauty's favor.Tayue thought he was ugly, saying that he had trampled on her own building, so she directly opened the huge window facing the lake, and pushed the then Prince An into the lake from the second floor.

Such outrageous things spread in Jiangnan on the second day, but instead of criticizing Tayue, the common people immediately praised such a temperamental beauty, and even directly helped Tayue defeat another outstanding poet The third fragrance of the famous courtesan, suddenly reached the top of the beauties in the Jianghu wild rumors.This also attracted her two later close friends, the poet Yan Lai and the young Emperor Hui, to use her residence to avoid the imperial court who lost the prince.

And Daliang, after 20 years of smooth weather and peace and prosperity, welcomed another beauty they loved so much——the appearance of the little prince made the capital fall into madness at that time.It's just that there is only one Kang Ning, with a weak body and a noble status, and the capital is such a big place, naturally it is impossible for everyone to be lucky enough to see him, most of them just listen to other people's bragging and exaggeration and yearn for it.

Under such circumstances, let alone a puppet show that few people care about, the little prince just pointed to an unremarkable stone on the bank of the Datong River and said yes, and the ugly stone on this bank would also attract people's attention the next day.

Now this Goulan named "Yansi Yati" is embedded in the center surrounded by two auxiliary buildings. There are two floors in one theater alone, and each theater has the owner of Cuiyingji dedicated to the royal family. Because of His Royal Highness's liking for the Accord left by the nobles, the Zhao family also participated in the back of Cui Ying Ji, so Kang Ning has an extraordinary treatment here.

The theater owner saw this group of distinguished guests, and wanted to rush to serve them, but the group of four didn't like the presence of outsiders in the Accord.After the people who ordered Cuiyingji to tidy up the redundant furnishings in the house, there were only four Nanofficial hat chairs and two crescent tables left in the Accord.Qi Changfeng also deliberately asked for a copper brocade cushion on behalf of the doorman.When he brought it in, he directly stuffed the only cushion behind the little prince.

"How do you give it to me?" Kang Ning felt that he was not enlightened again, and the only girl in the Accord was sitting next to him!

What kind of problem is this? "It's more comfortable to lean on." Qi Changfeng pressed him to sit down.

This person is so naive—the little prince thought to himself, "You can give this to Sister Meng, I don't need it!"

"What's so humble about a broken cushion?" Before Meng Baifan could refuse, Li Chengyu finally sent him away and stepped in, "Meng... wait, girl, I'll ask them to bring another one. There are tea and snacks. I remember tea. You like Lu’an melon slices, and snacks like salty taste, right? He has a very authentic plum cake and crispy meat here. Just wait, I will go to them personally and order it. They're baking now!"

Corning was dumbfounded.He looked at his second brother speechlessly, thinking that Li Chengyu had gone crazy again with his kind of indiscriminate person.But the problem is that Qi Changfeng is the one who should behave well, and his second elder brother is so courteous and messed up in the middle, wouldn't it make Qi Changfeng even less able to stand out.

The little prince was in a hurry, but he found that Qi Changfeng was really in a good mood. Not only was he able to hold on to his second brother, but he stretched his neck and told Li Chengyu, who was thrown out again: "Be different. Desserts with a light taste are best steamed and not overcooked," he said while thinking about taking off the malt candy hanging from the little prince's wrist and putting them on the table, "I need a pot of warm The white water, the water cannot be well water, and then ask someone to boil all the cups!"

"It's not the first time he's here! The people at Cuiyingji know how to serve you!" Li Chengyu replied impatiently.

After a while, the "nothing busy" second brother in Kang Ning's eyes finally returned, and he even took the small door outside the Accord behind him.At this time, the puppet show on the stage has already started, but even the little prince who likes this play the most here can't concentrate on the stage—the embarrassing thing is not over yet, and his second brother doesn't know what to think , went straight in and sat next to Sister Meng.

That's the seat Kang Ning specially reserved for Qi Changfeng...

The interior of the Accord is spacious. Although the four southern official hat chairs are placed side by side, they are actually more inclined to a similar layout. There is a crescent table table with cups and cups in the middle of the two back chairs on both sides.Kang Ning had planned early on that he and Sister Meng would sit in the middle of the two groups of neighbors as they are now, and the second brother would sit outside him, so Qi Changfeng would naturally be on the other side of Sister Meng.

But what is the second brother thinking?He was not familiar with Meng Baifan, so why did he take the liberty to sit beside him?

Kang Ning had no choice but to ask his brother pitifully: "Second Brother, I want to be next to you, why don't you sit by my side?"

To be honest, Li Chengyu was really flattered at that moment.Since he was a child, he was generally disliked by his younger brother. This kind of sweet talk, close and dependent treatment has always been Qi Changfeng's, and he is rarely entitled to it.At any other time, he would have passed away happily, and by the way, he would have given Qi Changfeng a flaunting look.

But at this moment - even if you prick him with a needle, he won't move.

When begging for a wife, you don't have to ask for anything from your brother.

"Just sit like this!" Li Chengyu was peeling an orange for the girl next to him, coaxing his younger brother casually, "You miss my brother, my brother will come to the palace to see you tomorrow, ah!"

Why are you peeling the oranges!Second brother, aren't you a good Nanfeng?You don't like girls - why do you want to show it to sister Meng?He also compared Qi Changfeng so badly.

"I also want to eat oranges. Why doesn't my second brother come and help me peel the oranges?" Kang Ning didn't give up and wanted to keep working hard.

But as soon as he spoke, Qi Changfeng ruthlessly suppressed him: "No, you can't eat oranges now."

Kang Ning was literally stuffed with blood in his heart.He turned his head abruptly, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself—who am I doing this for?Why is there such a fool as Qi Changfeng!

Little did he know that Qi Changfeng was also thinking at the moment: Why did this little thing suddenly stick to his brother? Could it be that he still can't see what Li Chengyu is thinking?This little idiot is really clueless...
