snowstorm

The young man looked to be about the same age as Lu Jue, dressed in light yellow brocade clothes, staring at Xie Qiao with wide open eyes, as if he wanted to stare Xie Qiao out of a hole, he said tremblingly: "This... this... Lu Huaiyu, You... when did you have another child of this age?!"

Lu Jue: "..."

Lu Jue pinched the center of his brows with some headaches, and said, "What's the matter with you?"

Ling Daoyuan was choked by Lu Jue for a long time without saying a word, he opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't utter a word, his face almost turned red.Lu Jue said, "What's the matter with you today?"

Ling Daoyuan was stunned for a moment, then pulled out the sword worn at his waist, pointed at Lu Jue and said, "Naturally... I still want to compete with swords. I don't believe I can't beat you!"

"You came to my house at night just to compete with me?" Lu Jue looked unreasonable, and said again: "Although we have some holidays, you don't have to hate me so much, right? Come to my house every night Find fault, do you have nothing to do?"

Xie Qiao almost laughed.His elder brother has a loose temperament and has always been blunt in the relationship between men and women. Lu Jue loves his elder brother, and it is not unreasonable. How can he be so blunt?Look at this man surnamed Ling, after hearing this, his face is almost ready to start a dyeing workshop.

"I...I..." Ling Daoyuan was holding back until his eyes almost popped out, and he could only choke out a sentence: "Why, don't you dare to compare? If you don't compare, you're just an idiot!"

"Compare," Lu Jue pushed Xie Qiao farther away, leisurely drew out the sword from his waist, pointed at the opponent's sword edge, and said with a serious face, "Do I not want to compare?"

The young Lu Jue is proud and upright, and can't be provoked. No matter what aspect, he always tries his best when competing with others. He never knows how to show mercy, and he doesn't show mercy to those who actively provoke him.

Therefore, when Ling Daoyuan's sword was knocked down, and Lu Jue held the sword on the opponent's neck with a white jade-like hand, he raised his eyebrows, with a youthful smile on his face: "The one who loses is the one who wins!" .”

After the match, Lu Jue put away his sword, raised his white jade-like chin towards Ling Daoyuan, and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Ling Daoyuan kicked the sword on the ground angrily, changed the subject and said hurtfully: "Lu Huaiyu, although we...have festivals, we have known each other since we were young. You went to Changsha for a few years to get married and you didn't even know me? "

"Who is married?"

"How could you have such a big child without getting married?!" Ling Daoyuan tremblingly pointed at Xie Qiao who was watching the show in the distance and asked.

Lu Jue was speechless and said, "He is His Majesty's younger brother."

Ling Daoyuan: "..."

Ling Daoyuan's face was opened all over the dyeing workshop again, and then he ran out of Lu Jue's yard without even picking up the sword on the ground, leaving only a sentence: "Your Majesty's Dongshou, I will compete with you again! The prize must be mine! "

Lu Jue looked at the opponent's back and just shook his head. He picked up the opponent's sword and handed it to the steward, then went to Xie Qiao and rubbed his hair: "It's getting late, you should go to bed." He was outside It was the pride of a young man, but when he spoke to Xie Qiao, there was a gentle smile on his face.He has edges and corners on the outside, but he gave Xie Qiao tolerance.This is the case in this life, and it was also the case in the last life.

Therefore, Xie Qiao thought, how normal it would be for Lu Jue to become his obsession for two lifetimes.

He didn't know what mood to ask: "Brother Huaiyu, that person just now, do you hate him?"

Lu Jue simply hugged Xie Qiao and entered Xie Qiao's room. He laughed and said, "Don't look at him looking domineering, but he has no evil intentions. What do I hate about him? As for what he hates me Well, don't do my business."

Xie Qiao was silent for a few seconds, then pointedly said: "I think, maybe he wants Brother Huaiyu to hate him even more. If it were me, I would."

Lu Jue laughed twice, put Xie Qiao on the soft couch, squatted down and tapped Xie Qiao's nose, and said, "Are you stupid? Who in this world wants others to hate themselves?"

Xie Qiao looked at Lu Jue's bright and pure eyes under the candlelight with a complicated expression, and said in his heart, brother Huaiyu, it's not me who is stupid, but you.You have grown the most exquisite, transparent and captivating sincerity, so everyone wants and wants to take it away when they see it, but there are people in your heart, and you can't even understand other people's admiration and coveting for you.

You said that he hates you and doesn't do anything about you, then, if you know that he likes you, you probably have the same answer.

This is going to drive people crazy.

"Then what if I hate you one day?" Xie Qiao looked into Lu Jue's eyes and asked hoarsely.What if I tell you one day, I like you?

Lu Jue didn't understand the meaning of Xie Qiao's words at all, and only thought Xie Qiao was joking.Then he raised his eyebrows and patted Xie Qiao's head with his fingers: "Little heartless, I treat you so well, yet you still hate me?"

Xie Qiao looked at Lu Jue's eyes and said nothing.

Lu Jue bent his eyes, and the candlelight seemed to flow into a glowing river in those crescent-shaped eyes. He bent his white jade-like fingers, hooked Xie Qiao's nose, and said, "If one day , you said that you hate me, then I will probably be very sad."

Xie Qiao's eyes widened suddenly, Lu Jue stood up, tapped his forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, it's getting late, go to rest earlier."

After Lu Jue settled Xie Qiao, and personally ordered the servant girl to take care of Xie Qiao at night, she went back to her room.

……

After another three days like this, early in the morning, Lu Jue took Xie Qiao to the paddock of the royal family.The winter hunting that Ling Daoyuan mentioned that day was on this day.

This winter hunt was naturally organized by his elder brother, and all famous and powerful families in Jinling City would be present.Li Mingbei and Lu Jue planned this winter hunt for his brother for the sake of kindness and prestige.

When Lu Jue brought Xie Qiao to the paddock, it became lively.Tents for people to rest have been set up long ago, and the young nobles have already changed into their riding and archery costumes, eagerly waiting to show off their skills in the next meeting. Talking to each other during the banquet is just a few words in a reserved whisper.

Those dignified officials who are truly masters of the country are mostly serious and thoughtful, and they all want to use this winter hunt to test the new master's temperament and attitude towards them.

Lu Jue sent Xie Qiao to the group of children. He felt that Xie Qiao should also make some friends of the same age. The place is heavily guarded, so there will be no dangerous things breaking in, let alone having fun among the children. It's much more fun to play with your heart than to watch adults fight each other.

Although Xie Qiao didn't want to be with a group of little ghosts, there was nothing he could do. He would hunt down his brother, Lu Jue, and Li Mingbei later. Even if he went there, Yang Su would take care of him. He was too old. The small status is embarrassing, but it will cause trouble for the elder brothers and the others, so it is better to stay here with a group of little ghosts in peace.

Xie Qiao didn't intend to get together with those noisy brats at all, so when Lu Jue turned around and left, he found a quiet place to sit down and think about the future.

But sometimes the trouble finds itself.

"Hey, are you that bumpkin who came back from the countryside?"

A crisp and domineering voice sounded, and when Xie Qiao raised his head, he saw a pretty face.It was a little girl in her teens, dressed luxuriously and uniquely, with a gold necklace inlaid with rubies on her neck, and a golden butterfly pinned in her hair, she was of noble status at first glance.

She was followed by a group of noble children, and it seemed that she was very popular among them.

Xie Qiao felt that she really didn't need to be serious with a girl who was no more than the boss, so she ignored her and stood up to leave.

Who would have thought that girl became even more anxious: "Little bumpkin, how dare you ignore me?!" She pointed to Xie Qiao and said to the group of children, "Surround him!"

Looking at the children who surrounded him, Xie Qiao was a little dumbfounded for a while. He really didn't want to be familiar with these little devils, but now that he was surrounded by them, he really couldn't leave.He frowned, and said to the girl, "What exactly do you want?"

The girl was about to say something, when a chubby boy pointed at Xie Qiao and said, "Yiwu, you are right, he is just a bumpkin! Look, he doesn't even have a jade bi!"

"Wow, he really didn't!"

……

The group of children pointed at Xie Qiao and chattered as if they had discovered something novel.

The people of Dasheng are accustomed to beautiful jade, especially Jinling, the capital, so the honorable families in Jinling City will wear a piece of fine jade for their children.Children without Peiyu have also become the target of public criticism.

Xie Qiao never thought that she would be troubled by a group of children because she didn't wear jade biscuits.His elder brother sent him a lot of things to Lu's house, which naturally included jade biscuits, and Lu Jue wore one for him when he went out, but now he doesn't have one around his waist, probably dropped it on the carriage.

"Little bumpkin, your elder brother is still the emperor, so he is so stingy that he doesn't even want to wear a piece of jade for you?" The child's mouth has never been guarded, but the little girl can say it well: "Why don't you just come to my house?" Well, if you agree to be my follower and listen to me, I will forcefully treat you well."

That girl was spoiled and raised by Xungui's family, the pity in her eyes is true, and the arrogance in her eyes is also true. Such aristocratic girls are too common. Xie Qiao will not have any ill feeling towards such a child, but she will never have any. What a favor.He just wanted to get rid of these brats as soon as possible.

So he squinted his eyes and showed a smile, threatening: "You also know that my elder brother is the emperor, the emperor can beat anyone at will, if I tell my brother that you say he is stingy, you will all be punished. People who suffer from the emperor's board may rot all over their bodies."

The children around were already frightened: "You...you are lying, my father is a high official..."

"The emperor is the greatest official."

"Yiwu's father is Zheng Guogong, so he won't let Yiwu... get beaten with us!"

"The emperor is bigger than Zheng Guogong."

Xie Qiao watched those children look at each other, and saw that the little girl who took the lead was also a little afraid, so she pretended to rush forward maliciously, and the children scattered.Xie Qiao smiled and found a quiet place to continue thinking about things.

But he didn't realize that the little girl was still not far away, looking at him with resentment and fear.

……

paddock.

Lu Jue was dressed in riding clothes and was arranging his wrists when he saw a palace man coming over. He nodded, and the palace man came up to him and said something in his ear.Lu Jue frowned slightly when he heard this, and then he chuckled.

"You continue to take good care of him. When I'm not here, if there is anything you can't solve, you can go to Manager Yang."

"Yes, I understand."
