A gentleman riding a red dust smile

After returning to the inn from the Jiangyang Prince's Mansion, Changsun Jue read the book for a few hours, and spent a few hours pondering his new formation technique.Then start to meditate and adjust your breath.

Mr. Chang is retreating, and it is reasonable to say that even if Song Lingshuang goes to Baicao Zhai, he won't be able to stay for long, but he didn't expect that no one came back until evening.

Changsun Jue was obviously closing his eyes and adjusting his breath, but he was a little restless.The shop waiter came to ask several times if he wanted dinner, which made him feel even more depressed.

When it was Haishi, there was still no sign of Song Lingshuang, so Changsun Jue finally couldn't sit still, raised his sword and went out.

At this time, there were hardly any pedestrians outside.When the two chose the inn, they considered that they had limited money left, and their eldest grandson Jue Xi was quiet, so they avoided the busy city and stayed in a place slightly away from the imperial city.After walking out of the inn, there is a small river and a stone bridge on the river. You need to pass this stone bridge from the inn to the market or to Baicao Zhai.

As soon as Changsun Jue arrived under the bridge, he saw only one person sitting alone on the bridge.The moonlight reflected the familiar red belt.

Changsun Jue frowned, and walked over with a sullen face.I saw Song Lingshuang sitting on the ground weakly, holding the stone railing with one hand.Seeing Changsun Jue, he stood up and said excitedly, "Ah Jue! You came to pick me up?" His complexion was pale, only his cheeks and the corners of his eyes were abnormally red, and he smelled of alcohol ten meters away. It is self-evident what has been done before this.

For two days in a row, he was drunk and crazy, and Changsun Jue's heart burst into flames.It's not over yet?Is this to drown yourself in a wine jar?

He grabbed Song Lingshuang by the collar and pulled him up, his cold eyes were full of anger: "Song Lingshuang, do you know what you are doing!"

Song Lingshuang showed grievance, and was about to explain something when suddenly his stomach rolled.He broke away from Changsun Jue, lying on the railing facing the river and began to retch.He didn't eat anything decent except a few peanuts and pickles, and he vomited several times just now, but now he couldn't vomit anything at all, and it was even more uncomfortable.

Changsun Jue watched Song Lingshuang's whole body convulsed with retching, his eyes twitched, he gritted his teeth and walked over, holding back his anger, and stretched out his hand to stroke Song Lingshuang's back, helping him smooth it out.

After Song Lingshuang vomited, he frowned uncomfortably, plunged into Changsun Jue's arms self-consciously, and tugged at Changsun Jue's lapel coquettishly, "Ah Jue, I feel bad..."

Changsun Jue's body froze and his brows tightened.He was just stunned for a moment, and then quickly grabbed Song Lingshuang by the back of his neck and pulled him away from his chest, "You have to suffer for yourself! If you feel uncomfortable, go back quickly!"

But Song Lingshuang squatted down softly, raised his head, looked at him pitifully, and said, "I can't walk anymore." With the moonlight in his eyes, he was full of grievances, and he was carrying some rascals with broken jars.

Changsun Jue was already full of anger, but seeing Song Lingshuang's pitiful appearance, he became even more angry, but he couldn't get angry.

After a long stalemate like this, Changsun Jue seemed to have finally convinced himself.He turned his back, squatted in front of Song Lingshuang, and said coldly, "Come up."

Song Lingshuang was in a daze.

"Can't you come up?" Changsun Jue's tone was obviously impatient.

Song Lingshuang reacted, grinning happily, and very consciously lay on Changsun Jue's back.

On Lengyueshuang Bridge, the tall and straight young man in white clothes carried Song Lingshuang, who was dressed in night, on his back, walking steadily on the stone road, no longer as strenuous as before.

Changsun Jue's back was not warm, but he was very steady.

Song Lingshuang remembered the last time he carried himself home step by step like this, and suddenly his nose felt a little sore.He suddenly pulled off Changsun Jue's hair buttons as if playing a prank, and his long jet-black hair fell down under the moonlight, covering Song Lingshuang's face.

Changsun Jue tried his best to suppress his anger so as not to throw Song Lingshuang off his back: "Song Ye! If you don't want to die, don't turn it over and over again!"

Song Lingshuang didn't know whether he was tired or was really afraid that Chang Sun Jue would throw him down, the hands around Chang Sun Jue's neck suddenly tightened, and unconsciously put his face into Chang Sun Jue's shoulder socket.He pressed his cheek against Changsun Jue's neck, which was cooler than Ye Feng, smelled the faint fragrance in his hair, and murmured in Changsun Jue's ear: "Don't be angry...it looks good when you put it down...it's so pretty... ..."

Changsun Jue: "..."

The fire that had just surged was discouraged, and Chang Sun Jue was speechless for a while, but when he wanted to say something, he heard the sound of slow and long breathing.

Song Lingshuang fell asleep on his back.

He stopped talking and walked quietly behind his back in the night.

The stone bridge is not far from the inn, and there are still a few steps before you can escape the cold night and hide in the warm guest room.

But Chang Sun Jue stopped suddenly, and changed direction when he stepped out again.After three years, in the cold night, he carried him on his back, detoured the farthest way, and returned to the nearest place.

When he put Song Lingshuang on the bed, he suddenly heard a jingle.Taking a closer look, it was the piece of black steel wing feather that was pulled out from Yihu earlier and fell on the ground, it should have fallen from Song Lingshuang's body.

Changsun Jue picked up Xuangang Yu and stood looking at it for a long time.

This person always does.When you want it, you must have it, and when you get it, you leave it at will...

He lowered his eyes and silently put away Xuan Gang Yu.

Song Lingshuang woke up, opened his eyes, the surroundings were dark, and he didn't know what time of night it was.He turned his head and saw Changsun Jue, propping his head on one hand, falling asleep beside the table.

Yes, our Senior Brother Song is broken again.When he was drinking at Qihuangshan, there was nothing.

But he remembered the slightly cool back, and the fragrance on the neck of his clothes.

Song Ling didn't sit up, but lay down and turned his head to look at Changsun Jue.This man even sleeps with his back straight.The boy's muscles and bones have been stretched, and the outline of his face has faded from childishness, but his childhood appearance can still be vaguely seen between his eyebrows and eyes.

He saw his long hair hanging down his shoulders like splashing ink.He watched as his eyelashes drooped and cast a shadow on his face.He watched his chest rise and fall gently and regularly.At this moment, Changsun Jue raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips, calm as a long night.

Song Lingshuang secretly thought, how nice it would be if he always relaxed his brows like this and didn't get angry!

He watched and thought, and fell asleep again.

When Song Lingshuang opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright, and it was already noon to be precise.Changsun Jue was not there, so he subconsciously looked at the table, but there was nothing, and he didn't even realize that he was a little disappointed in his heart.I drank a lot last night, but didn't eat anything, and now my stomach is empty.

I don't know where Changsun Jue went.In the past two days, I haven't said a word to him properly. I don't know if his anger has subsided.So Song Lingshuang decided to wait for the elder Sun Jue to come back.

He ordered several dishes, rolled up his sleeves and started working hard.He ate like a gust of wind blowing fallen leaves, as if devouring a cow whole.When he finished eating, no one came back.

He thought for a while, then found a pen and paper, and carefully drew the complex pattern on the waist card that he remembered.After finishing the painting, Changsun Jue was still missing.

Song Lingshuang thought: "Could it be that he ran away from home in anger?"

He ran downstairs and asked the waiter in the shop, "Young man in white who lives with me, do you know where you have gone?"

Xiao Er: "Oh, the young master you asked about is out with another young master."

Song Lingshuang: "What kind of son?"

Xiao Er thought for a while: "Looking at the clothes, he should be the son of a rich family."

Song Lingshuang knew in his mind that Changsun Jue had gone out with Ai Zixuan.He complained in his heart, "Why didn't you call me?"

Song Lingshuang went back upstairs, recalling how badly she had lost in the wine fight yesterday, Qi Huangshan had no hope for the time being, and she had to rely on herself to investigate the man in black.

Wine shops, pawnshops, brothels.

The wine shop... Song Lingshuang supported his still aching head... Forget it, we have to wait a few days to go.

pawnshop.The waist card with special texture seems to be very important, and it is unlikely to be pawned.

Thinking of this, Song Lingshuang took the money left by Changsun Jue and went out.

More than an hour before Song Lingshuang woke up, Changsun Jue walked out of the inn and ran into Ai Zixuan who happened to come over.

Ai Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it happened by coincidence."

Changsun Jue asked, "What's the matter?"

Ai Zixuan: "My imperial aunt, that is Concubine Xie Guifei, wants to see you. Hurry up and enter the palace with me."

Changsun Jue: "Why?"

Ai Zixuan shook his head to express that he did not know.

Changsun Jue: "Then can you wait for me to buy steamed stuffed buns before leaving?"

Ai Zixuan pulled Changsun Jue: "Don't worry, he won't starve to death! It's very cumbersome for a monk to enter the palace, hurry up and go back early!"

Ai Zixuan was in a hurry to bring Changsun Jue into the palace so that he could go to Baicao Zhai, Changsun Jue was surprised that Concubine Xie wanted to see him, neither of them realized how abrupt and inexplicable the question and answer just now was.

Changsun Jue followed Ai Zixuan into the palace.As Ai Zixuan said, the registration process for a monk to enter the palace is extremely complicated, and all weapons, spiritual weapons, and pills need to be recorded in detail.With Ai Zixuan leading the way, many steps have been saved, but it still took the two of them more than half an hour to reach the Fangxuan Palace where the imperial concubine lives.As soon as the two entered the hall, they were told that Concubine Xie Guifei was temporarily summoned by the emperor, and ordered them to wait in the front hall before leaving.

Ai Zixuan waved his hand to the palace servants to signal that he didn't need to serve tea for him, and said: "Brother Eldest Grandson, I have already sent you in, so I won't wait with you. Farewell!"

Changsun Jue looked at him and said seriously: "You will be hated if you pester Miss Chang like this every day."

Ai Zixuan looked back at Changsun Jue in disbelief, narrowed his eyes, and with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, he shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, that's not true! Brother Changsun, you should have the most experience with this matter!"

Changsun Jue: "..." What do I understand?

After Ai Zixuan left, Changsun Jue drank the third cup of tea, but the imperial concubine hadn't returned yet, but it was already noon.He looked at the sky and said, "Since the imperial concubine is busy today, I'd better come to visit another day." After finishing speaking, he was about to get up.

The court lady who served tea just now stepped forward, blessed her body in front of Changsun Jue and said respectfully: "The noble concubine ordered my servants to let the young master wait here, but the servants dare not make claims, please wait a little longer." Then she continued Beckoning, a few palace servants came in and put the meals on the wooden plate in their hands on the table one by one, "The servant has specially prepared lunch for the young master, please wait while the young master eats."

Changsun Jue was a little embarrassed and froze in place for a moment.

The palace servant immediately knelt down and bowed again, "Please don't embarrass your servants, my lord."

Firstly, it is not good to make it difficult for the servants in the palace, and secondly, it is really thanks to the help of Concubine Xie Guifei to see Mr. Chang this time, it would be impolite to forcefully leave.So he nodded and sat down to eat.

When I saw Concubine Xie Guifei, it was past time.

Xu Shi just came over from the emperor's side, today's Concubine Xie is even more splendid than that day in Baicao Zhai.She was dressed in purple brocade with golden threads, embroidered with the pattern of three phoenixes, which was second only to the queen's status, which showed her status in the palace.

She looked a little tired but still elegant.Concubine Xie said apologetically, "I was the one who called you here, but I told you to wait. I'm really sorry." She motioned to the grandson Jue, who was saluting, to stand up, and then said, "It's just that it is not easy for the harem to call monks into the palace. I really don't want to miss today. Please forgive me if there is something wrong."

Changsun Jue shook his head lightly, and said: "Thanks to Concubine Xie, I was able to see Mr. Chang a few days ago. This junior should have asked to see me and thank you, but this junior was rude."

Concubine Xie smiled, "When Lan'er told me that she wanted to see Mr. Chang, I didn't know that it was related to Mr. Song and Mr. Changsun. I helped Lan'er, and Lan'er helped you. You should thank her .”

Changsun Jue bowed again, "The kindness of the imperial concubine and Miss Xie, Changsun Jue will always remember it in his heart, and if there is something he can do in the future, he will definitely not refuse."

"Since this is the case, I'll just say it straight. Yilan came to me this time to let me persuade her father not to agree to the Hua family's marriage. And I can guess where her heart belongs. Concubine Xie Guifei paused, looked at Changsun Jue, and asked, "Are you willing to marry her?"

Changsun Jue is just cold-tempered, but not stupid.Naturally, he would not fail to understand who Xie Yilan's heart belonged to.He did not avoid Concubine Xie's gaze, "For this matter, I forgive the younger generation for not being able to bear the love of Concubine Concubine Xie and Miss Xie."

Concubine Xie was not surprised, she just continued, "You know, Lan Er is a good girl."

The eldest grandson Jue nodded, "The younger generation knows. Thank you, Miss Huizhi Lanxin."

"But the reason why I specially called you to the palace is not just because she is a good girl and has you in her heart. It is because one of you is the young suzerain of the Minghe Changsun clan, and the other is the future of the Xiqixie clan. heirs."

Chang Sun Jue did not speak.

Concubine Xie continued, "Regardless of your father's friendship, if you can get married, it will be a good story. If the eldest grandson and Xie get married, it will be of immeasurable benefits to the two immortals."

Her expression darkened slightly, "Fahrenheit is now dominant, even if you haven't seen it yourself, you should have heard about the rampant behavior of the past few years. Their ambitions are obvious, and anyone can guess that they have shady activities behind their backs, but no one can control them." No one dares to care about it. Hua Zhongyang went to Luhuadang and Taohualing to propose marriage successively. It is self-evident what his purpose is. Although your fathers are very important in the fairy sect, now facing such blatant threats from Fahrenheit, you can only do it. Swallow your breath. Your marriage with Lan'er is an indestructible alliance between the Changsun family and the Xie family."

Changsun Jue was silent for a moment, and said: "The younger generation feels that the imperial concubine is not like Miss Xie's aunt, but more like Xiqi's lobbyist."

Concubine Xie smiled, but this smile was different from the previous smile, a little bit bitter, "Now that I am in the royal family, Xiqi has nothing to do with me, so I shouldn't say it. But it is my hometown after all... I want to take a step forward and remind Young Master Changsun that two weak people can fight against a wild beast if they embrace each other. As the Young Master of the Changsun Clan, you must not only consider your own temperament."

Changsun Jue didn't hesitate, "Thank you, my concubine, for your advice, junior. But this matter, I can't do it."

Concubine Xie looked at him without saying a word.After a while, she said: "I understand. It is I who was abrupt." She sighed, "I called you into the palace today, but Lan'er didn't know about it. Since the eldest grandson has no intentions, then I hope you will not take care of today's matter." Talk to others."

The eldest grandson Jue nodded, "To enter the palace today, this junior is asking to see the imperial concubine, in order to thank the kindness of the previous few days."

Concubine Xie smiled, "You are fine. No wonder Lan'er likes you so much."

The elder Sun Jue didn't respond, but bowed down and said, "Young man, please leave."

When Changsun Jue walked out of Fangxuan Hall, a handsome young man dressed in dark green brocade walked up to him.The guard guarding the gate saluted him, "See Ninth Prince." Changsun Jue heard behind him and said to the guard, "Please tell mother and queen son to come to pay her respects." , why would the Ninth Prince call her Queen Mother?But after all, it was someone else's business, so Changsun Jue left the imperial city without thinking too much.
