Meng Dong

Meng Dong had never experienced archery on horseback before, nor had he ever had such a desire.He knew that for him, this was a skill that he was not good at and was useless. Since he was a child, he knew how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He always only did things that he felt were right and meaningful, and naturally he would not waste them on such things. time.

Only now did he realize that in life, there is no need to do certain things. There are many times when he simply likes them, and he has missed a lot of fun unknowingly.

Just like what Yan Hong said, the white horse seemed to like Meng Dong very much, and it was extraordinarily docile in front of him. It patiently carried Meng Dong on its back and paced slowly, until Meng Dong gradually got used to this feeling, and gradually became more courageous. He firmly clamped the horse's belly and let the horse run.

This is totally different from how Cai Cai and Yan Hong rode together, even though he can feel that the current speed is not as fast as Cai Cai.But the sound of the wind whistling in the ear, the hem of the clothes flying, is a rare freedom and wantonness, as if there is only one person and one rider left in the world, the sky is high and the sea is wide, let him be free.

Because of the wound on his arm, Meng Dong could only hold the rein with one hand, which was a little difficult for a novice rider, but Meng Dong didn't feel the slightest panic, he trusted the rein in his crotch for no reason. a horse—or believe you can handle it.

The fact is also the case, the white horse carried Meng Dong wantonly in the paddock, galloping all the way, startled countless birds.

Yan Hong rode the black horse just now, and followed Meng Dong not far or near. Although he couldn't see Meng Dong's face now, it was predictable that those beautiful eyes must be full of wanton smiles at the moment. Meaning, just like what Yan Hong wanted to see the most.

Although Meng Dong is very interested at the moment, after all, today is his first time riding a horse, and he still has a wound on his arm that healed just now, so he can't be too indulgent. After galloping for a while, he took the initiative to rein in the horse. He stopped, turned the horse's head, panted slightly and leaned on the horse's back, watching Yan Hong galloping towards him on the horse.

Just now, Meng Dongguang was busy experiencing his first horseback riding, so he couldn't pay attention to other things at all. At this moment, he finally had time to take a look at Yan Hong.

Meng Dong belatedly realized that today's Yan Hong was different from usual, whether it was because of the robe on his body prepared for riding a horse, or because of the steed under his crotch, in short, this kind of Yan Hong was more suitable for him. The identity of the Jiangmen family is more like the son of King Nanjun, the patron saint of Chu.

It even gave Meng Dong an illusion that as long as this person was around, he would have nothing to fear.

The years when he was with Gao Wu had a profound impact on Yan Hong. Even though he didn't "do business properly" these years, some things have been deeply engraved in his mind. Among them, it emanated naturally, making him unknowingly break away from the image of the absurd prince in the past, looking powerful and reliable.

Yan Hong was still holding the rein in his hand, and there was a flying smile on his lips. He noticed Meng Dong's eyes on his face, and his smile became brighter. He couldn't help but raised his chin towards Meng Dong: "How is it?"

Meng Dong frowned, with a smile on his lips, he replied sincerely: "I'm very happy."

"That's good," Yan Hong was very satisfied with Meng Dong's answer. The black horse under his crotch didn't seem to be having fun yet, but it stopped suddenly, causing it to be very dissatisfied. The horse's hooves pawed on the ground, and even snorted to express own opinion.Yan Hong had to concentrate on smoothing the horse's mane for it, and whispered: "Jechen has become more and more restless in the past two years."

Meng Dong couldn't help looking at the black horse: "Is it called Juechen?"

"Well," Yan Hong lowered his head and gently touched the horse's back, "Your horse is called Ling Yun, and it's a peerless horse. It was a congratulatory gift from my mother before, and it has been eating and drinking in the palace. That said, someone will take them out for a walk every day, but it is rare to have the opportunity to have fun like today."

As he spoke, he slid his fingers down the horse's mane, finally picked up the hanging longbow, and flicked his fingers on the bowstring: "If this is the case, let's have a good time today." As he spoke, he turned to Meng Dong. Blinking, "Wait for me here." The next moment, one person and one horse rushed into the woods like arrows leaving the string.

Meng Dong still has a bit of self-knowledge, he knows that his current level may not be able to catch up with Yan Hong, and he will be thrown away from the horse, so he is not obsessed with it.He patted the horse's back lightly, turned over and got off the horse, and let the horse named Ling Yun graze around. He chose a thick tree, sat down under the shade, and stared at Yan Hong's departure. The direction is thoughtful.

It was relatively cool in the forest in the morning. Meng Dong leaned against the trunk of the tree, raised his head and saw the lush branches and leaves. Occasionally, the sound of birdsong echoed in his ears. It felt like he had stolen half a day's leisure.

The breeze was particularly comfortable, Meng Dong couldn't help yawning, he didn't sleep well the night before, and was dug up by Yan Hong early in the morning, at this moment sleepiness gradually came up, he couldn't help closing his eyes , fell asleep.

When Yan Hong patted his horse back, what he saw was such a scene.A handsome young man was sitting on the ground with one leg propped up, his face buried in his knees, and he was sleeping very soundly. Behind him was a towering tree that was as tall as a cloud, somehow blending into the mountain forest.

Yan Hong smiled lightly, turned over from the horse and landed briskly on the ground. He slowly walked in front of Meng Dong, looking down at the sleeping man.

In this environment, Meng Dong actually slept very soundly, and didn't notice anyone approaching at all.Yan Hong watched condescendingly for a while, then slowly squatted down, and gently tapped Meng Dong's face with his fingers.

Meng Dong waved his hand impatiently, trying to wave away the person who disturbed his lucid dream, but it was obvious that the person in front of him was not that easy to dismiss, so he clicked several times persistently, and Meng Dong slowly opened his eyelids, Slowly see the culprit.

Yan Hong smiled and sat down next to Meng Dong, stretched out his hand and poked him on the face again: "Is this also possible to fall asleep?"

Meng Dong covered his lips and yawned, with tears still in his eyes, he turned his head and glanced at Juechen who had come to forage with Ling Yun, there was not even a single arrow left in the quiver on the horse's back, but He didn't see any spoils, so he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the prince is not as lucky as fishing when he is hunting."

Yan Hong didn't care about his jokes, but nodded and said: "That's true. I walked around the forest in a big circle, but I didn't see any strange beasts, only some unknown species of birds scattered around, even if they were hunting animals. It's not interesting to come back. But..." He said here, and suddenly changed the subject, "It's not all fruitless."

He lowered his head and took a look at his chest, only then did Meng Dong realize that there was a bulge there, and something seemed to be moving, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "What is that?"

Yan Hong smiled, opened his skirt, a gray hairy head stuck out immediately, shook his long ears, and looked around vigilantly.

Yan Hong picked it up and put it into Meng Dong's arms: "I wasn't very interested in these things, but I saw one at my mother's place a few days ago. People still call it the little son, I can neither make my mother angry, nor can I care about a rabbit, so I simply caught one and brought it back, and when it grows up, let it help me teach my cheap brother a lesson."

Meng Dong had never touched such a small thing, so he was at a loss for a moment, but he still couldn't help stretching out his hand to gently touch its head.The whole body of this rabbit is gray, with black spots scattered on its back, and the fur on the tip of its ears is also black, but its belly is white, and its eyes are gray-blue, clear and bright.This little thing was very timid, with its ears pressed against its back, it looked around uneasily, and when Meng Dong stretched out his hand, it made a cooing sound, like a warning.

Meng Dong looked at this small thing that was only the size of a palm, with a bit of surprise and a bit of bewilderment in his eyes. He stared at the rabbit for a while, then raised his head to look at Yan Hong: "I've never seen such a small thing. rabbit."

"This is a baby hare. It will be smaller by itself. If you feed it delicious food and drink for a period of time, it will grow up." Yan Hong didn't know if he was infected by Meng Dong's sleepiness just now, so he couldn't help but slapped him. Yawning, he leaned his head on Meng Dong's shoulder and closed his eyes, "Get to know it first, and I will take a nap for a while."

Meng Dong responded, and stretched out his fingers to stroke along the rabbit's ears. The rabbit seemed to gradually realize that this person was not a threat to him, and gradually became more courageous. After a few bites, he was not discouraged after being dodged, and continued to lean forward, with a posture of not giving up until he reached his goal.Seeing its radiant look, Meng Dong couldn't help but feel happy, and deliberately stretched out his fingers to tease him, but Yan Hong really fell asleep on his shoulder, occasionally breathing lightly.

But this mountain forest is not a good place to rest after all, Yan Hong didn't sleep well.The sun gradually rose, and the forest gradually became hot. Yan Hong woke up from his sleep, looked up at the sun above his head, and rubbed his eyes: "It's almost time, we have to set off before noon."

After a while, Meng Dong had gradually become familiar with the hare. Hearing this, he simply stuffed it into his arms, stood up and looked at Yan Hong: "Shall we go back now?"

Yan Hong put his fingers to his lips and whistled, and called the two steeds back. As usual, he got on the horses first, and then stretched out his hand to Meng Dong: "I'll take you to another good place, and I can have a vegetarian meal along the way." .”

The good place in Yan Hong’s mouth refers to the Qingyun Temple on Qingyun Mountain outside Jiangling City. This is the largest Taoist temple around Jiangling City. It is hidden in the mountains, surrounded by green trees, and the scenery is pleasant. It is a good place for the rich and powerful to escape the summer heat.

Among them was the old concubine of Nanjun Palace.

Since that day when she issued an order to evict her son who was bothering her so much, Mrs. Bai changed her usual laziness for the sake of peace in the future. The day will be awakened from sleep, feel at ease.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before it was quiet, and Yan Hong actually chased him to Qingyun Temple.

Therefore, Mrs. Bai was not overjoyed when she saw her son, whom she had not seen for a long time, and looked at Yan Hong warily: "Why, the Fengyue Pavilion in the city has been closed recently?"

Yan Hong was helpless: "My son went hunting in the paddock today. I thought I hadn't seen you for a long time, so I made a special trip to take a look. I will go back in the afternoon when the weather is cooler. I won't disturb your old man here."

Only then did the old lady feel relieved, she pointed to the armchair beside her, and then glanced at Meng Dong who had been standing silently beside her: "Young Master Meng, sit down too."

Meng Dong was actually a little at a loss, because of his own reasons, he was not good at dealing with women of this age, especially his current status was unworthy of the Nanjun Prince's Mansion, so he shouldn't appear in the old man so blatantly. In front of the princess.He originally wanted to wait outside to give their mother and son time to be alone, but Yan Hong directly led him in, and beyond his expectation, this old lady Bai was also very kind.

He forced himself to be calm, and sat down gracefully after saluting to the old lady, while Yan Hong had already sat down on the soft chair on the other side with a carefree attitude, and poured himself a cup of tea politely, drinking it slowly Said: "Is your mother safe when you come here?"

"It's natural to be well enough to eat and sleep." The old lady glanced at him, "But I don't know if it's a coincidence. I can always meet her by chance when I take a walk in Shanshan. If I don’t go for a walk, she can always find some reason to come to visit, sometimes send some homemade pastries, sometimes bring a bowl of special soup, and chat a little Consciously or unintentionally, he praised his son, and said that Mr. Li and you are close friends and have a very good relationship."

"Best friend?" Yan Hong snorted softly, "Then Mr. Li is really impolite. I just had a meal at Chunfenglou and chatted with him."

"Mr. Li seems to have lived in with his mother recently. I look at his appearance, and he doesn't seem to be able to get along with you." Mrs. Bai said, and glanced at Meng Dong, "If He is half as handsome as Young Master Meng, maybe his mother wouldn't have to spend so much effort to come around to me."

Meng Dong felt that he shouldn't appear on this occasion, and he had tried his best to minimize his presence, but he didn't expect that the topic would still turn to himself. He raised his head and subconsciously glanced at Yan Hong, not knowing what he needed to do at this moment. How to react without being rude.Yan Hong noticed his gaze, and couldn't help laughing: "Mother knows me." He drank another sip of tea while talking, "That Mr. Li is very high-minded, and he only wants to seek help in the army. It's a good job, and it has been on the rise since then. I have hinted at me several times, but I am too lazy to provoke the generals in the army because of his affairs. If my mother thinks their mother and child are annoying, I will ask them to go out later .”

Mrs. Bai looked at him with raised eyebrows, and shook her head: "It's fun to come here once in a while to relieve boredom. What's more, Mrs. Li's cakes are really delicious." Mrs. Bai looked outside as she spoke. With a glance, "You guys are lucky enough to catch up today, maybe Mrs. Li will come over later."

As soon as the words fell, a maid's voice came from outside the door: "Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li, Chunfenglou, please see me."

"Look, sure enough. Please come in." The old lady Bai raised her lips and glanced at Meng Dong, "Bring me that little thing in your arms."

The hare was not very safe hiding in Meng Dong's arms, it was noticed by old lady Bai early on, and Meng Dong didn't hide anymore, and respectfully delivered it to the old lady's hands, secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

After seeing the hare, Mrs. Bai's expression immediately softened a lot, and she gently rubbed the rabbit's ears with her fingers: "This little thing is thinner than your brother, so it needs to be carefully fed for a while to grow stronger. "

He also mentioned that his cheap younger brother Yan Hong couldn't laugh or cry. He caught a glimpse of the smile on Meng Dong's lips from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help laughing: "My son doesn't understand these things. If mother likes it, she might as well stay by her side and raise him." .”

The old lady Bai said lightly: "I do have such thoughts, but your younger brother is too arrogant and indulged by me. Just like you, I can't allow another one to compete with me. Even if this little thing is kept by my side, it will Being bullied. I know you have always been unreliable, and I didn’t tell you what I said just now,” she said, looking at Meng Dong, “I think this little thing is very obedient just now in Mr. Meng’s arms. Mr. Meng is more worried about taking care of you than you."

Meng Dong's eyes widened, and he hurriedly replied, "Yes, I will take good care of it."

While talking, footsteps came from outside the door. The mother and son in brocade clothes walked in under the guidance of the maid. They saw Yan Hong sitting on the chair at a glance. After looking at each other, Mr. Li spoke first: "Today is really a coincidence. I didn't expect to catch up with the prince."

Mrs. Li greeted the old concubine first, and then turned to Yan Hong: "I have heard Qi'er praise the prince a long time ago, and today I see you, and it is as he said, with a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing."

Yan Hong had a smile on his lips: "Madam, you are welcome. Just now I heard from my mother that she has been here these days, fortunately, she has her wife who comes here every day, so she doesn't feel bored. I would like to thank my wife here. .”

Mrs. Li immediately laughed: "Your Highness is really polite. Fortunately, Princess Wang does not think women are vulgar. It is a blessing for women to be able to talk with Princess Wang." Personal existence, I couldn't help but glanced at my son, wondering: "This young master is..."

Yan Hong got a handsome male favorite, and took him into the mansion, and he was so happy that he didn't think about it every day, and it was not uncommon for Yan Hong to rarely get news from the gate of the mansion.Then Li Qi just glanced at Meng Dong, saw his exquisite and perfect face, immediately understood his identity, contempt appeared in his eyes, stretched out his hand and tugged at his mother's sleeve, and said softly: "It's irrelevant. Mother, why do you need to ask more questions?"

Meng Dong lowered his eyes, ignoring the sarcasm in his words, Yan Hong took his expression into his eyes, and just about to speak, he heard Mrs. Bai say indifferently: "This is our prince's new friend recently. So, today the two of them went hunting together in the paddock, and they stopped by to see me, and they were afraid that I would be bored, so they sent such a little gadget to relieve my boredom."

After finishing speaking, she raised the gray rabbit in her hand to Yan Hong: "I am talking with Mrs. Li here. This is the first time that Mr. Meng has come to Qingyun Temple today. You take him around and we will talk about it later." Use the fasting meal."

Meng Dong lowered his head and gave a deep salute to Old Madam Bai: "Thank you Madam."

Yan Hong took the hare and hugged it in his arms, smiled at Li Qi, grabbed Meng Dong's shoulders, and walked out the door with an appearance of getting along well.

All the way to the backyard, Meng Dong was silent. In fact, he didn't care much about other people's ridicule. Over the years, he had seen countless people who climbed high and stepped low. He would have taken such things to heart long ago. Young, but the attitude of Yan Hong, mother and son just now moved him somewhat.

The hare was not very safe in Yan Hong's hands, and even tried to kick his hand with his hind legs. Yan Hong fought with it for a long time, and finally stuffed it into Meng Dong's hands. Rabbit Mao, took a while to speak: "Actually, it doesn't matter if the prince directly confessed my identity just now. I am the prince's male favorite. This is a fact, and I don't care about other people's eyes."

"I don't care about it either," Yan Hong laughed, "but there's nothing I can do. My mother hates people like Li Qi the most. If she wants to defend her, I will naturally let her go." He leaned his head close to Meng Dong's ear, and said softly, "But having said that, although you and I sleep together every day, apart from that, when did this king treat you as a male favorite? Not to mention, there is no fact. "

Meng Dong raised his head to look at him, met his eyes, and the roots of his ears turned red unconsciously.He deliberately pretended to be nothing, and said casually: "But today is beyond my expectation, the old lady treats me..."

"What do you think my mother will do to you?" Yan Hong took Meng Dong to the shade of the tree, put the hare in his hand on the ground and let it graze, and continued, "My mother can't treat you like that. It is inferred from the world and common sense. You don't think she is the respect of the princess, high above, dignified and stable, but in fact, she looks down on the world's family status and rules the most. "

Meng Dong looked at Yan Hong in disbelief, Yan Hong chuckled lightly, and continued: "My mother was originally from Jiangling, and her ancestors have been bodyguards for generations, especially my grandfather is the well-known head of the bodyguard in Jiangling City. At the end of the dynasty, the world was in chaos. My father followed the late emperor to attack Jiangling City. He met my mother by chance. He fell in love with her at first sight, and he wanted to marry her despite the late emperor's obstruction. There were rumors in the court that my father was involved in this matter. Only by disobeying the first emperor did he lose the competition for the throne, but he just doesn't care much about it."

Speaking of this, Yan Hong couldn't help laughing, and a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes: "So if you count being absurd and unruly, I am still far behind the two of them."
