The reborn prince is hard to raise

Lu Chengning met Gu Mingheng's eyes calmly, and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong with Ah Heng?"

Hearing this, Gu Mingheng looked away uncomfortably, feeling that the affection in his eyes was about to burn his heart, "No...it's nothing." Then he turned and sat on the piano bench, fiddled with him as if to cover up something. The strings, but there is obviously some confusion in the eyebrows.

Lu Chengning stood where he was, and seeing the moon-white clothes disappear into his sight, there was a flash of disappointment in his eyes, which was soon replaced by calmness.

When Gu Mingheng came back to his senses, he realized that he had played "Junsi" unconsciously, and was stunned for a moment.But after only listening to it once, did you remember it in your heart?There was a slight astringency on his lips.

At this time, Lu Chengning sat beside him, put his left hand on the strings, his eyelashes drooped slightly, blocking the light in his eyes.He said in a light and authentic tone, "Ah Heng, how about playing together?" The two were very close, and although his voice was low, Gu Mingheng could almost clearly distinguish every trill and sigh in his words.

Looking at Lu Chengning's side face that was as calm as a deep pool, he struggled a little in his eyes, finally he covered his eyes, put on his usual gentle expression, smiled slowly, and replied softly, "Okay."

He retracted his left hand on the piano and put it in his sleeve, only to realize that there was a slight tremor.Yuebai's pajamas fell to the ground, swaying in a shallow arc, just like his restless state of mind.

The melodious sound of the piano gradually rose, and there was some discord at first, but the counting of time seemed to be done by one person.It's just that there is a little more melancholy and puzzlement in the song, and it lacks the leisurely meaning of carefree clouds in the waterside pavilion during the day.

The two sat at the same place, the music of the piano sang harmoniously, and the sleeves of their clothes intersected, but for some reason they had different thoughts, and their gloom remained lingering.

Outside the hall, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the hazy autumn moon sprinkles the clear light on the glazed tiles, like a thin mist.Gu Mingheng closed the casement to keep the coolness of the night out of the house.

Carefully spread out the brocade quilt on the couch, no one has slept here for a long time, even the soft cotton pad feels a bit cold to the touch.Gu Mingheng stretched out his hand to straighten the jade pillow, but his hand was suddenly held.He hesitated for a while, then turned his head to look at Lu Chengning who was standing on the side, and saw that his eyes fell on the unfolded brocade quilt, his expression was difficult to discern, and he felt a little guilty for a moment.

"What does Ah Heng mean?" Lu Chengning looked straight at Gu Mingheng, and asked softly, his eyes were as dark as the night, but with obvious fragility, he only looked at Gu Mingheng stubbornly, without moving the slightest bit.

Gu Mingheng opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer.Could it be that he doesn't want to sleep with him?Or is it that I subconsciously want to stay away from that kind of emotion?

Avoiding Lu Chengning's gaze, he pretended to be natural and said, "Suddenly want to go to bed alone tonight." His eyes wandered, his tone was very low, and he had no confidence at all.

Lu Chengning looked at him and was silent for a long time, then he let go of his hand little by little, whispered a word, "Okay." Then he turned and left.

Gu Mingheng who was standing there didn't move, he took a deep breath slowly, suppressed the sudden astringency and loss in his heart, and lay down on the couch.

The coolness penetrated into the body from the quilt, and there was no warmth at all. Only then did I suddenly realize that the autumn night is so cold.

When eating court food in the morning, Gu Mingheng still had a tired look on his brows.He sat at the table and subconsciously rubbed the center of his brows, when he heard Lu Chengning's voice, "Ah-Heng is not feeling well?" There was a touch of concern in the voice.

Gu Mingheng paused, habitually met Lu Chengning's eyes, and then avoided such gazes in the next moment.

Ah Ning, I have been with you day and night for five years, and at this moment I don't know how to face you.Just like before—isn't it good?

"A-Heng." After a long silence, Lu Chengning suddenly shouted softly, with a hint of injury and caution, he looked at Gu Mingheng quietly with his eyes, and said slowly, "Are you angry with A-Ning?" There was actually a touch of tension and anxiety in it.

Gu Mingheng forced a smile, "Ah Heng is not angry with Aning." But he still didn't meet Lu Chengning's eyes.He didn't know where his eyes fell, but he subconsciously didn't want to see the undisguised affection in his eyes.

For a while, there was no more words during the banquet.

When Xie Yunhong first stepped into the Chongwen Hall, he stopped abruptly.Mu Hanjiang, who was following behind him, was a little puzzled, and nudged him lightly with his elbow, "What's wrong?"

He has great strength, but every time he confronts Xie Yunhong, he subconsciously reduces his strength.He always subconsciously felt that Xie Yunhong was like the little silver fox he raised when he was a child, beautiful and proud, but very fragile, and would hurt it if he got too strong.

As soon as the folding fan was held in his hand, Xie Yunhong said two words slowly, "It's okay." Then he walked in.

He sat in his seat, with a slight interest in his eyes, what happened to His Highness and Ah Heng?They usually sit together at the same place, but today His Highness changed his habit and sat on the crown prince's seat in the middle.

Such a strange and obvious appearance is really abnormal.

Mu Hanjiang also saw the difference, he blinked at Xie Yunhong, and silently asked with his mouth, "Argued?" He was a little worried, the prince and Ah Heng have always had a good relationship, what happened? What, they would quarrel?

Xie Yunhong didn't plan to pay attention to this piece of wood. Could it be that conflicts are just quarrels?What an idiot.

Gu Mingheng didn't speak a word all morning, and Lu Chengning didn't leave his seat either, with his back turned to everyone.For a while, the atmosphere in the Chongwen Hall was a bit delicate, and even Zheng Ruyuan looked at the two of them suspiciously during the lecture.

After school, Gu Mingheng tidied up the books in silence, his expressionless expression was no longer as gentle as before.At this time, Lu Chengning walked over from the front with some hesitation, helped him pick up the book on the case, and whispered, "Is Ah Heng still angry with Ah Ning?"

Gu Mingheng didn't look at him, but just took the book back, and said lightly, "I'm not angry, if Your Highness has nothing else to do, I'll leave first." Without waiting for Lu Chengning to answer, he went straight out the door.

Lu Chengning stood where he was, with the autumn sunlight coming in through the rhombic carved window, and the shadows on the ground were layered.His silhouette reveals a touch of sadness and confusion——Ah Heng, why did you call me "Your Highness"?Didn't you say that that's what outsiders call it?

After standing there for a long time, he turned around and walked out of the gate of Chongwen Hall. His expression was indifferent, but his back revealed a little loneliness.

Seeing the two leaving one after another, Xie Yunhong tapped his hand rhythmically with the handle of his fan, and said slowly, "I'm really not used to things like this!"

He sighed and took two steps, then turned around and looked at the motionless Mu Hanjiang, "Wu Mu, why don't you go? Come to my house for dinner later. Didn't you like steamed pine fish last time? I'll give it to you tonight." Do."

Mu Hanjiang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he followed quickly, with a smile as bright as the autumn sun.

Fengyi Palace.

Ah Jing entered the inner hall with the medicine cup in her hand, and saw Xu Qiwu leaning on the bed, sewing autumn clothes intently with needlework, with a mother's love in her expression.

Every year when the seasons change, she will personally sew a set of clothes for her children. Now there are nearly a hundred sets of clothes neatly placed in a sandalwood cabinet in the corner of the bedroom.

Putting down the tray and walking over quickly, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor told you that you must not be tired." Her tone was slightly reproachful, but she seemed very friendly.

Xu Qiwu didn't stop the movement of his hands. He raised his eyes to look at Ah Jing who was full of worry, and smiled helplessly, "Ah Jing, why do you look like a nanny in the palace? My ears are about to grow calluses." .” Her tone was relaxed, obviously she was in a good mood today.

Ah Jing turned around and brought the medicine cup to the bed, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, stop talking about this, drink the medicine." As she spoke, she handed over the medicine juice and said, "This is the servant girl watching The medicine taken by the imperial doctor has just been boiled."

Xu Qiwu took the medicine cup, smiled with his lips curled up, his meaning was unclear, "Is there anything in this palace that can be guarded against? If someone wants to harm this palace, no matter what they can't stop it." As he spoke, he poured the thick black medicine little by little. After drinking it all, he didn't even frown.

Ah Jing looked at such a queen and sighed in her heart.If she didn't have admiration for His Majesty, who was still a prince, and didn't become the concubine of Jin, but married into an ordinary princely family, then the noble daughter should be around her knees now, right?

What about the mother of a nation?So what about Fengyi Tianxia?In the end, one person guards the palace alone, and the characters in the center of the splendid carved beams are turned into ashes.

Holding the candied fruit that Ah Jing handed over, Xu Qiwu leaned on the bed a little weakly, perhaps because she didn't apply makeup, which made her look much more beautiful than usual.

The curtains of the inner hall were all drawn, blocking the light coming in from the outside, making it look a bit dark.The fragrance of calming incense burning in the air makes people drowsy.

"Has the person been found?" Feeling the bitterness in his mouth gradually disappearing, Xu Qiwu asked.

Ah Jing nodded when she heard the words, "I found it, and I was sent here the day before yesterday. Because your high fever did not subside, my mother, and the imperial doctor said that you can't bother yourself, so the maidservant didn't mention it."

"Didn't anyone else see it?" Xu Qiwu asked again, seeing Ah Jing shaking her head, she calmed down, "Go and call me, Bengong will take a look." As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes and rested his mind.

After listening to the order, Ah Jing quickly exited the inner hall.

After a while, the door of the palace was opened again.Hearing the sound of light footsteps, Xu Qiwu looked towards the palace maid who was following Ah Jing, and his gaze froze for a moment.There was a complex look on her somewhat pale face, with surprise and secret hatred.After a long time, the emotions in her eyes calmed down bit by bit, she spoke lightly, and said majesticly, "Raise your head, Ben Gong has a look."

The woman kneeling on the ground slowly raised her head timidly, revealing her facial features completely.Her appearance is extremely beautiful, especially her eyes, which are as clear as ice and snow, yet naturally charming, with a kind of clarity that has not been polluted by the dust of the world.

She bowed down to Xu Qiwu, who was full of majesty, with a gentle and melodious voice, "Slave Ayun, I pay my respects to your empress, Empress Empress Jin An." After speaking, although her voice was still a little trembling, she obviously calmed down a lot.

"In the future, you will be called Aye." Xu Qiwu said after a while of silence. She looked at the facial features of the woman kneeling on the ground who were somewhat similar to Kasyapa, and slowly laughed.
