The reborn prince is hard to raise

In the next few days, although the two still came to the Chongwen Museum every day, it was not as good as before.Mu Hanjiang looked at Xie Yunhong's profile and wanted to say something many times, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again, not daring to approach easily.

But Xie Yunhong didn't seem to see his uneasy appearance, and every time his eyes passed by his direction, he would not stop there.

Gu Mingheng watched from the side feeling sad, but didn't know what to do.

The word love hurts others and oneself.

The night fell, covering the entire Miyagi city.

Gu Mingheng sat alone under the lamp and flipped through the pages of the book. The frost-colored coat was loosely draped over his body, and it lay down along the couch. There was only the occasional "crackling" sound of the lights in the hall.In the afternoon, Lu Chengning was summoned by Jinshang to go to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters, and he still hasn't come back yet.The palace attendants were all waiting in the corridor outside the hall, and he was the only one in the entire bedroom at this time.The shadow fell obliquely to the ground, single and single.

Occasionally, when I was wandering between words, I would subconsciously gather up my outer shirt——Ah Ning, the night without you makes the air so cold.

"What's the matter?" Hearing the sound of small footsteps appearing outside the screen, Gu Mingheng asked quietly.

"Prince Princess, Mr. Mu is drinking in the Shuyu Pavilion, he looks drunk." Jiang Bai's voice was very low, not as high-pitched as palace attendants are used to.He buried his head deeply, and said to the figure inside the screen.

Then I heard the rustling of the clothes and the soft sound of clogs, and after a while, I saw the frost-colored hem appearing in front of my eyes.

"Amu hasn't gone back yet?" Gu Mingheng walked out while talking, his footsteps were a little hurried.

"Back to the Crown Princess, Mr. Mu went out of the palace this afternoon, and entered the palace again in the evening. He ordered someone to find a few jars of wine, and told him not to inform His Highness and the Crown Princess. The servant looked at Mu. The young master wanted to find a clean place to drink, so he ordered someone to wait by the side, waiting for dispatch, and if there is anything, please come and pass it on."

Jiang Bai explained all the way, followed behind Gu Mingheng, keeping a distance of three steps.

"Mmm." Gu Mingheng responded and quickened his pace.

Amu, he doesn't drink at his own home, but he comes to the East Palace. He thinks he's looking for a place where no one is bothering him to drink away his sorrows, right?There are father and brother in the general's mansion, if this is the case, it will definitely make them worry.

Standing at the end of the path, Gu Mingheng looked at the unclear figure in the pavilion from a distance, and ordered, "Go to the General's Mansion to report, and say that Amu is resting in the East Palace today, and he will go back tomorrow afternoon." Jiang Bai responded, turning around quickly to leave.

Shuyu Pavilion is built next to a three-zhang (ten-meter) high rockery in the East Palace. It is shaded by green trees and orchids are in full bloom, making it very quiet.There is a turbulent water flow on the rocks, falling into the pool and splashing countless water flowers. There are water lilies in the pool, and koi float under the lotus.

The palace attendant standing by the side of the pavilion saw Gu Mingheng walking all the way along the path, and hurriedly saluted him respectfully. Seeing him wave his hand again, he retreated silently.

The night dew was a little cold, and Gu Mingheng could smell the aroma of strong wine from a distance, as if to arouse his calm mood again.

Although Mu Hanjiang sat up straight and his back was straight, it was not difficult to see that he was already drunk.Hearing the sound of footsteps, it took him a few breaths before he turned his head to look over, tilted his head to identify for a long time, his misty eyes lit up instantly, "Ah Hong...you are here? I thought you would ignore me anymore..."

He murmured, and then smiled softly.A pair of eyes looked at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to engrave him in his blood, which could never be erased.

Seeing that "Xie Yunhong" didn't speak, he frowned again in aggrieved manner, and anxiously repeated what he wanted to explain countless times in the past few days, "Ah Hong, I really never thought about getting married... ...Really not...they are all inferior to you, so I don't want to marry them..."

The smell of alcohol rose, and his face became even more drunk, but he continued to explain stubbornly, for fear that Xie Yunhong would leave again in a fit of anger.

"So Ah Hong, why don't you ignore me?" He stood up with one hand on the stone table, his figure staggering, his eyes fixed on the visitor, full of anticipation and apprehension.

Gu Mingheng glanced at the empty wine jar on the stone table, knowing that he was deeply drunk, otherwise he would not have mistaken himself for Xie Yunhong.Sighing, Gu Mingheng said in a gentle voice, "Amu, I'm not Xie Yunhong."

Hearing this, Mu Hanjiang seemed to be stunned. After looking at the person in front of him for a long time, the light in his eyes dimmed little by little, and then he smiled and said, "Well, it's Ah Heng! I recognized it, are you Ah Heng!"

He sat down on the stone bench all of a sudden, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of bitterness.Holding the wine glass in one hand again, I don't know if he was talking to himself or to Gu Mingheng, "I'll just say it, Ah Hong is obviously still angry with me, how could he come to me..."

He drank the wine at the bottom of the glass in one gulp, lying on the stone table as if he had lost his strength, muttering, but couldn't hear clearly.

The sleeve inadvertently overturned the wine glass, making a crisp cracking sound, which was especially ear-piercing.

"Heng, do you think I can marry Ah Hong home like His Highness married you? Then we can see each other every day and night." He leaned on the stone table sideways and murmured, looking at the remains on the rock. The water flowing down seems to be caught in his own thoughts.

"At that time, I can take Ah Hong back to Yanyun to ride horses, draw bows, and hunt. No one in Yanyun dares to bully him!... If anyone dares to bully my Ah Hong... I will beat him!"

As he spoke, his voice became choked up, dropping inch by inch, like weeping, which made people feel sad.

Just when Gu Mingheng was thinking about whether to help him back to the side hall, he seemed to have a feeling and looked out of the pavilion, and saw Xie Yunhong standing on the steps, his long hair was slightly messed up by the night wind.Presumably, he must have stood there for a long time, and the night dew on the tops of grass on both sides of the path soaked his clothes.

His hand clinging to the folding fan was placed by his side, and his eyes were extremely focused on the drunk Mu Hanjiang, with a complicated look on his face.

Gu Mingheng stood up, "He's already drunk." He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to continue.

"En." Xie Yunhong's eyes still fell on Mu Hanjiang's body, and he responded before walking closer.Standing behind Mu Hanjiang, he reached out to touch his shoulder, but finally withdrew his hand.

Mu Hanjiang, who was lying on the stone table, closed his eyes tightly, and murmured two familiar words between his lips—Ahong.With a moving expression on his face, Xie Yunhong bent down to take off the wine glass he was holding, and straightened his somewhat messy coat.His gaze flicked across his side face, and he froze for a moment.

"Ahong, you——" Gu Mingheng wanted to ask you and Amu what's going on, but stopped talking—this question was so feeble.

Xie Yunhong seemed to understand what he hadn't said, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but there was no smile, "He and I, one is the son of the Xie family, the son of the prime minister, and the other is the direct branch of the Mu family. I am destined to He wants to be an official in the court, a prime minister, and he is destined to fight on the battlefield and make his achievements shock the world. Ah Heng, tell me, what can we do?"

He touched Mu Hanjiang's shoulder with his palm, feeling the heat coming from him through his clothes, and there seemed to be water in his eyes.

"He is going to marry a wife, and I feel so sad, so sad that I am about to die! I can be angry with him, and I can ignore him, but I can't stop it."

He whispered, as if he was afraid of waking Mu Hanjiang, and tried his best to suppress it, "He and I will never be able to hold hands in front of people like you and Your Highness. If this is the case, why add sadness? ? In the future he will marry a wife, and I will also marry a wife."

As he spoke, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Sometimes I think, if I had never come to the East Palace from Jiangnan, I would not have met him. The predecessors also said that it is best not to know each other, so that you will not miss each other."

As he said that, he bent down and put Mu Hanjiang's arm on his shoulder, and helped him up with some effort.The drunken person was very heavy, Xie Yunhong had little strength, the breath in his nose became heavier in an instant, his legs trembled a little, but his steps were extremely steady.

Mu Hanjiang, who was leaning on him, seemed to feel a familiar breath, his eyelids moved but he couldn't open them.But he kept shouting "Ahong" in his mouth.One after another, it is suddenly heartbreaking.

The two walked slowly along the path. They walked very slowly, and their footprints were side by side, as if they were going to extend to the end of the sky.

But we know each other when we have met each other, what is better than not seeing each other.Ande and the king will say goodbye to each other, so as not to teach life and death to be lovesick.

In the middle of the night, Lu Chengning returned to the East Palace a little tired.After taking a simple bath, he changed into pajamas and walked towards the bedroom in a black coat.The palace lanterns under the eaves illuminated the ground, making him seem to be trapped in shadows.Jiang Baishou was on duty outside the dormitory, and bowed when he saw him coming. .

"What's going on today?" Lu Chengning walked to the steps and asked in a low voice.

"At night, Mr. Mu was drunk in the Shuyu Pavilion, and the Crown Princess went to have a look. Later, when he went back to the palace alone, he seemed a little depressed, and it took him a long time to fall asleep." Jiang Bai thought for a while and said.This was already a routine, every time Lu Chengning was not in the East Palace, he would always ask Ayu, Azheng and Jiang Bai what happened when he came back, and he always couldn't let go of Gu Mingheng.

Lu Chengning pondered for a moment and nodded, then gently pushed open the bedroom door.

There is no incense burning in the sleeping hall, only the faint fragrance of flowers is carried along the wind, which reduces the sense of dullness.Walking around the screen, you can see that the glazed lamp is still on. Although the light is a bit dim, it makes people feel warm.

After taking off his coat, Lu Chengning sat on the side of the bed, and saw Gu Mingheng frowned slightly, sleeping very restlessly.Lifting a corner of the brocade quilt, Lu Chengning got on the bed, and after lying down, he carefully pulled him into his arms.

Gu Mingheng didn't wake up, but turned over naturally and rested his head on his chest, clutching the skirt of his chest with one hand, and then relaxed between his brows.

Lu Chengning bowed his head and kissed his hair, and sighed softly.Today in the Imperial Study Room, Father mentioned that King An was about to enter Beijing in early summer, and he was already on his way. When talking about this half-brother, he spoke with anticipation.

He suddenly remembered the dream that Gu Mingheng had told him, and his heart trembled slightly, always having a bad feeling.

Everyone in the world knows that back then, he forced the palace to seize the throne and killed several brothers in a row.Only Lu Zehe, who sometimes served as the sixth prince, survived, and was named King An after Lu Zezhang ascended the throne.

And in the nearly 20 years since he went to the fiefdom, he has never set foot in Beijing. For 20 years, he has been obsessed with calligraphy and painting landscapes, ignoring mundane affairs, so as to show that he has no desire to spy on the throne and is loyal to the present.

But Lu Chengning felt that this Uncle Wang An was far from being as simple as he showed.At least one idle king would never send a hidden stake into the palace to monitor the prince.
