After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

This is a fat hair

"I guess so. If it's just about the marriage, how could it be pushed to the end, and my father and the envoys will discuss it alone? It must be that this marriage is different from the previous ones."

"Oh my God." Ruan Jiu was so surprised that he couldn't recover for a long time, and finally held Xiao Mingyuan's hand, sincerely, "Then I will never bully you again."

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Mingyuan shook off his hand, "In ordinary marriages, you choose the daughter of a courtier's family to be named a princess and then marry her. Even if you want to choose a man this time, my father loves me, and he will definitely not let me go. Northwest eats soil."

Xiao Mingyuan thought for a while, held his hand again, and patted the back of his hand vigorously: "It's you, you are too ostentatious, you should be careful recently, don't get caught and make a kiss."

"I have no talent or virtue, how can I take on this important task?" Ruan Jiu was so painful that his eyes watered, he pulled his hand out of his hand, and slapped his hand for revenge. , "Your Highness has just grown up, with both good moral character and great agility. I am in the middle of employing people. If Your Highness doesn't enter the ranks, who will enter the ranks?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Mingyuan was defeated, took back his hand, and shook it, "I just want to remind you, you have restrained yourself recently."

Ruan Jiu snorted: "Didn't you hear the storyteller talk about Bao Si Da Ji, if Ji Wu dares to want me, I will definitely turn Ji Wu upside down."

Xiao Mingyuan was immediately delighted: "Just you?"

"What's wrong? I can't do it?" Ruan Jiu raised his head.

"Don't be stupid, it's hard, not to mention the food and drink, even if you don't understand the language, you used to want to come back after staying for half a day. Then you sneaked out of the palace and out of the city at night. The door——" Xiao Mingyuan covered his face with his hands, and moved his head left and right, "Look left, look right, why is it a big desert? Where should we go?"

Although Ruan Jiu was angry, he couldn't help laughing when he saw his funny actions.

He just smiled, and suppressed it with his lips pursed.

Xiao Mingyuan took the opportunity to pour tea for him: "I saw you smiling, that incident this morning, I counted my unscrupulous words, it's over."

Ruan Jiu deliberately delayed for a while before reluctantly nodding: "...Okay."

"My Highness personally apologized to you, how dare you put on airs?" Xiao Mingyuan put the teacup in front of him with a bang, "Drink the tea, finish it for me."

"I'm not thirsty."

"Give me a drink!"

When this conversation was repeated for the tenth time, the two looked at each other, and finally pushed each other in disgust.

"roll roll roll!"

The two almost pushed each other off the round stool, not only moving their hands, but also moving their feet.

Just as they were about to fight, an attendant announced from outside the door: "Your Highness, some young masters are here to thank Your Highness for the snacks."

Xiao Mingyuan and Ruan Jiu quickly returned to normal.

Ruan Jiu twisted a piece of rose cake, Xiao Mingyuan picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Please come in."

He glanced at Ruan Jiu and explained: "When I first came out of the palace, I heard them say that you are all eating snacks here, so I wanted to come and have a look. But they were all there, but you weren't there, thinking Are you still angry because of what happened in the morning?"

He changed the subject, quite proudly: "I settled the bill for them conveniently, and treated them as a treat, so they came to thank me."

Ruan Jiu was speechless for a while, and turned his head away from him.

At this time, several sons and brothers who played polo with them in the morning all came in. Seeing that Ruan Jiu was there, they had different expressions.

It was only a while ago that they got tense, and now they are sitting together and eating snacks again.

A tall and thin gentleman in plain clothes stepped forward and bowed: "I was just about to pay the bill, only to hear that His Highness has come to pay the bill for us, so I came here specially to thank His Highness."

This is Yan Ning, the eldest grandson of Lord Censor Yan Ning. He is older and has a generous personality. He always leads this group of young people when he goes out.

Xiao Mingyuan waved his hand: "You're welcome, are you leaving now?"

Yan Ning looked at Ruan Jiu with a smile, and sighed, "Since Ruan Jiu is here, I have to stay with him."

To save him and Xiao Mingyuan from fighting again.

Xiao Mingyuan said: "I have reconciled with him, why are you all so careful?"

Yan Ning held back her laughter and nodded, "Yes."

Another Mr. Wei Xu from Fuyuan General's Mansion was blunt: "Your Highness still has such a big mark on his leg, how did you get back together?"

Xiao Mingyuan looked down, only to find a dusty footprint on his calf.

No need to think about it, it was Ruan Jiu who kicked it just now.

Everyone wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, fearing that they would fight again, so they quickly separated the two.

Added a few more dishes of snacks, and asked the luthier on the stage downstairs to withdraw, and replaced it with the Eighth Highness's favorite "Lotus Picking Song".

Xiao Mingyuan was lying on the couch listening to the music. Ruan Jiu and two good friends - Yan Ning, the eldest son of the Yushi doctor's family, and Wei Xu from the Fuyuan general's mansion - used these two to coax him out at first. bit name.The three of them huddled together to play cards.

The rest of the people were playing their own things, talking and laughing, and it was very pleasant.

Ruan Jiu held a lot of cards, his fair face twisted extremely: "It's over, I'm going to lose."

With the winning ticket in hand, Wei Xu knocked on the table in front of him, urging: "Hurry up."

Yan Ning was gentle and said with a smile, "Don't rush him, he's about to cry."

Ruan Jiu hesitated for a long time before picking out two or three cards and putting them on the table: "Here."

Wei Xu's face changed slightly, Yan Ning also shook his head: "No."

So Ruan Jiu continued to play cards.After doing this several times, he emptied the cards in his hand.

Wei Xu threw the cards on the table: "Didn't you say you were going to lose?"

Ruan Jiu explained solemnly: "It's 'going to lose', not already lost."

"You man." Wei Xu jumped up and wanted to hit him. "Every time you cry and say you're going to lose, you win every time, you little liar!"

Ruan Jiu hid behind Yan Ning, Yan Ning opened his arms to cover him from the small couch.

There was a commotion in the room, Wei Xu chased and beat him.

Just at this moment, the waiter in the room was carrying a teapot and wanted to go out to change the water. Ruan Jiu hurriedly followed the waiter out, and before leaving, he turned around and said, "You guys play first, my brother asked me to bring him some lotus cakes, I'll go out Give me an order."

Wei Xu pulled out the soft pillow that Xiao Mingyuan was leaning on to throw him, but Ruan Jiu fled quickly, and the pillow hit the door.

Xiao Mingyuan lost his pillow, fell onto the couch with a "boom", turned his head and glared: "Wei, what are you doing?"

Wei Xu said: "What? Your Highness is going to bully me like you bullied Ruan Jiu, right? Your Highness is determined to break up with us one by one?"

When the people in the room heard that they were arguing again, they all fell silent and dared not speak, feeling very headache.

Only Yan Ning resisted the anger of both sides and persuaded them to make peace.

Ruan Jiu closed the door silently, shutting out the noise inside.

Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise he would have been squeezed inside and dared not speak.

He turned his head and saw that the guy was already carrying the teapot and was about to turn the corner.He yelled, "Dude, wait a minute!"

But the guy didn't hear it, just walked straight ahead, had already turned the corner, and went down the stairs.

Ruan Jiu sighed, and looked down at his bare feet—just now when Wei Xu "chased" him, he just jumped off the couch without even having time to put on his shoes.

Fortunately, the place full of customers is still clean.Ruan Jiu curled up his white toes, turned around and wanted to go back, when he heard the noise inside.

The hem of the jade-colored clothes hung down to his feet, he pulled the clothes, after thinking about it, he decided to go after that guy.

"Wait a moment!"

While walking around the corner while shouting, he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and before he could see clearly, he bumped into a person.

He couldn't stand still, and was knocked back a few steps. The man grabbed his arm and helped him up.

"Thank you. I'm sorry, I don't know why, it seems to be a bit darker here, so I couldn't see clearly..."

Ruan Jiu came back to his senses, raised his head, and saw four or five barbarian men standing side by side in front of him.The tallest man was only a little shorter than the roof, and the shortest was a head taller than Ruan Jiu, like mountains protruding from the sun.

He said why it seemed to be getting dark all of a sudden.

It turned out that they blocked the light.

Ruan Jiu looked up at them, and after watching for a while, his neck became sore, and when he was about to step back, he realized that his arm was still being held.

The person who supported him was also dressed as a barbarian.Fortunately, this man is only a half-grown boy, not as tall and strong as other barbarian men, nor does he look so vicious.

Ruan Jiu struggled to take his hand back, but he didn't want the boy who was younger than him to be stronger than him, so he couldn't pull his hand away for a while.

Ruan Jiu said: "I'm really sorry, shall I treat you to some snacks? It's an apology to you."

But these people didn't respond as if they couldn't understand what he said.

Ruan Jiu stared at the boy with big eyes.

Finally, Ruan Jiu frowned, and the boy smiled at him, showing two canine teeth and a pair of obsidian-like eyes.

Ruan Jiu remembered his smile.They met during the day, he was the young man sitting in the carriage in the team of Jiwu envoys.

And the boy seemed to have recognized him long ago.

The boy looked at him and said something fierce.

Ruan Jiu thought for a while, then waved to him: "You——" He stretched out each word: "Do you understand Chinese?——"

The boy didn't answer, but Xiao Mingyuan came out from the private room instead.
