Funing Hall

Since he has to do good deeds, Zhao Cong will not go back soon.As soon as he walked away from the gazebo, he no longer felt dizzy, and let go of Zhao Shiqi's hand, and walked leisurely in the back garden side by side with him.

Rantao and Chaxi were holding two palace lanterns in front. Zhao Cong looked at the surrounding scenery and said, "When you first came here, I hung out in the back garden all day long. There was nothing I could do. I had nothing to do at that time. I can only stay here in a daze." He stretched out his hand and grabbed a leaf, and said with a smile, "It's good now, I haven't been here for a long time."

Especially when he fell into the water in the back garden, Rantao and others easily prevented him from coming over.His political affairs are heavy, and he really doesn't have time to come.

"Today, I took advantage of Gu Ci." Zhao Cong always had a smile on his face.

He was happy, so Zhao Shiqi was also happy, and said: "Your Majesty, I used to come to the back garden to paint at that time, do you still remember?"

"Remember, when I discovered your talent in painting, I asked Chaxi and the others to come here with you to paint every day. Speaking of which, you are really talented. Back then, I planned to let you worship Prince Hui as a teacher." As Zhao Cong said, he thought of the paintings that Zhao Shiqi had given him, and he couldn't help saying, "It's just that you've been busy recently, and you haven't painted for a long time."

"Your Majesty likes it?"

"Ah."

Zhao Shiqi was also worried that he would always send paintings to Zhao Cong, fearing that Zhao Cong would find it boring. Hearing this, he immediately said: "I will paint tomorrow, no, I will paint when I go back tonight!"

Zhao Cong laughed: "Where is it so urgent?" He said, reaching out to hold Zhao Shiqi's hand again.

Zhao Shiqi's body was hot, and his palms were sweaty in summer, but Zhao Cong's palms were cold.As soon as Zhao Shiqi touched his hand, he held it back tightly. The coolness came, and Zhao Shiqi felt much more comfortable all over.He lowered his head and smiled at Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong seemed to notice it, looked up at him, and smiled too.

Lu Yuan and the others who followed him were all serving him closely, and they had already seen the strangeness, and bowed their heads one after another, and no one made a sound.

Zhao Cong stroked the ring on Zhao Shiqi's hand with his fingers, feeling more and more happy in his heart.

Zhao Shiqi said: "I used to sit on a tree and paint."

"I remember, you were fighting Zhao Ting under that tree back then."

"..." How can I remember these things so clearly?

Zhao Cong pulled him to go there: "Go, let's have a look."

The banyan tree has been growing here for more than a hundred years, but it has not been here for a few years, and there is no difference, it is still lush and lush.When the group of them approached, Zhao Shiqi immediately pointed to a tree trunk and said, "At the beginning, I used to sit on it."

At that time, Zhao Shiqi was only 11 years old, and he was not as tall as Zhao Cong. He had to rely on auspiciousness and auspiciousness to help him climb up.At this time, he can easily jump up with his strength, but he can no longer climb the tree.In fact, he still likes to climb trees. In his previous life, he had a hard life as a child, and he was cautious in every word and deed.Until he enters the palace in this life, with Zhao Cong's pampering, he can do some things he loves.

He still remembered the wonderful feeling when he climbed up the tree for the first time and his feet fell into the air.

He looked up at the tree trunk yearningly, but unexpectedly Zhao Cong, who has always been very disciplined, was eager to try: "The scenery here is very beautiful. Sitting on the tree trunk and looking at the stars through the leaves, it must be very beautiful."

Zhao Shiqi nodded: "Very beautiful." He had seen it back then.

Zhao Cong pointed to the trunk: "I want to climb a tree."

"..." Everyone was taken aback and looked up at him, speechless.

Although Zhao Cong was not drunk, after all he drank some wine, and when the summer night wind blew, he became playful. Seeing everyone's surprise, he immediately said: "Hurry up."

Rantao hastened to persuade him, how could he climb when it was so dangerous?

Zhao Cong was extremely persistent, he even stretched out his hand to touch the trunk, Zhao Shiqi saw this, and smiled indulgently: "Your Majesty, I will carry you up!"

"Lang Jun!" Rantao said angrily, "You don't persuade, but let His Majesty do this, it's dangerous!"

It was rare for Zhao Shiqi to see Zhao Cong's playfulness, and he couldn't bear to brush it off, so he immediately said, "It's okay, I'm here."

"This—" Before Rantao finished speaking, Zhao Shiqi suddenly put his hands under Zhao Cong's armpit and lifted Zhao Cong up.Zhao Cong suddenly raised his height, and then laughed, Zhao Shiqi became more and more happy: "Your Majesty stretched out his hand to support the tree trunk."

"Yeah." Zhao Cong nodded and supported him with both hands.

Zhao Shiqi lifted him up again until he was nearly level with the tree trunk. Zhao Cong hugged the tree trunk tightly with both hands, and turned over and sat on the tree trunk with force.

Zhao Cong laughed "haha".

Everyone was stunned again, for the first time in many years, seeing His Majesty smiling so happily.

Zhao Shiqi looked up at him, Zhao Cong was sitting on the tree trunk with his legs hanging down, he shook his legs, looked down at Zhao Shiqi with a smile: "Come up quickly."

There happened to be scattered moonlight among the leaves, falling on Zhao Cong's face full of joy.

Under the tree, there are exactly two palace lanterns, gently enveloping the rare and gentle Zhao Shiqi.

Zhao Cong saw peace and joy in his heart, so he couldn't help but let go of a hand holding the tree trunk, stretched out towards the tree, and said again: "Come up quickly."

Only then did Zhao Shiqi come back to his senses, stretched out his hands to grab the trunk, jumped vigorously, stepped on the rest of the trunk, and easily jumped to Zhao Cong's side.Zhao Cong laughed again, before Zhao Shiqi sat down, he immediately put his arms around Zhao Cong's shoulders, and said softly, "Be careful."

"En." Zhao Cong responded, leaned on Zhao Shiqi's shoulder, and looked up at the sky.

Many, many stars.

This is the real galaxy, really like an upside-down night river, the stars float on the river, twinkling from time to time, the starlight is the ripples of the galaxy.It's beautifully quiet, yet extraordinarily subtle.

Zhao Cong didn't move, just leaned against Zhao Shiqi and looked at the starry sky.

Zhao Shiqi couldn't help but also looked up with him. In Zhao Shiqi's view, this beautiful scenery was very beautiful.But because of Zhao Cong beside him, he became special.

He didn't say a word, and watched quietly with Zhao Cong.

The two of them on the tree did not speak, and the people under the tree were only more silent. They stood close to the trunk, as if they were transparent.

Zhao Cong's drunkenness gradually rose, and he looked at the starry sky that seemed to be close at hand, but in reality it was out of reach.In the first few years, especially after entering the palace, when he grew up and was able to walk on the ground, he often looked at the starry sky, as if behind the starry sky was his former world.No matter how bad the original world was, at least no one would harm him, only he would harm himself, and he could decide his own life or death.

This is not the case here, so many people want him to die, and they can easily make him die.

He can't even decide his own life or death.

At that time, he even hoped that he could return to the original world when he woke up, even if he was a dead person in the original world.

Later, he was canonized as a prince, his parents died, and he ascended the throne again, one thing after another.It wasn't until now that he remembered how long he hadn't seen this starry sky.

The original world is no longer attractive to him, and the present he lives in will no longer cause him too much worry.

He has become powerful enough to decide life and death.

The sky is still the same.

He is also pleased with these changes in himself.

He suddenly thought of Gu Ci again, Gu Ci should not like those changes in his body.After all, Gu Ci was forced to change, forced to abandon his youthful will.

He couldn't help leaning more into Zhao Shiqi's arms, and murmured: "Xiao Shiyi will always be alive..." Xiao Shiyi will always be that young man who will show him how to be good, and who will kiss him fiercely .No one should kill the high-spirited young man in Xiao Shixi's heart, including himself.

Zhao Shiqi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"

Zhao Cong didn't say any more.

Zhao Shiqi asked again: "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Zhao Cong closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Zhao Shiqi stretched out his hand to caress his eyes, realizing that he had closed them, Zhao Shiqi pulled his lips silently, and smiled softly.

He hugged Zhao Cong even tighter.

Until the wind picked up again, Zhao Shiqi said softly: "Your Majesty is asleep, climb up two people."

Jixiang and Lu Yuan quickly climbed up immediately.

Zhao Shiqi carefully let go of Zhao Cong, and then jumped off the tree softly, while Jixiang and Lu Yuan carefully supported Zhao Cong.

After Zhao Shiqi jumped off, he turned around under the tree and stretched out his arms.

Jixiang and Lu Yuan carefully lifted Zhao Cong down and sent it to Zhao Shiqi's hands.

Rantao and Chaxi held their breaths, fearing that he would not be able to catch it.

Zhao Shiqi caught Zhao Cong firmly, then hugged him in his arms, turned around and whispered to Rantao, "I will send Your Majesty back to Funing Palace first."

"Yes."

The group quietly chose another path around the gazebo and left the back garden.

Putting Zhao Cong on the bed, dyed pottery and mixed it with warm water, Zhao Shiqi personally untied Zhao Cong's clothes, then carefully wiped Zhao Cong's neck, chest, arms and feet with a cloth towel, and finally changed to a softer silk handkerchief to wipe Zhao Cong's face.

While he was wiping, Rantao watched from the side.

Looking at it, Rantao couldn't help showing a faint smile on his face.

Zhao Shiqi was not proficient in doing it, on the contrary, he was a little rusty, but even so, he did it.

After Zhao Shiqi finished these, he turned around and saw Rantao smiling at him.

He was puzzled: "Sister Rantao?"

Rantao said softly: "The maidservant thinks it's good that Lang Jun and His Majesty are like this."

Zhao Shiqi laughed immediately, a very sweet smile, and said naturally, "Naturally."

"Lang Jun and Your Majesty are a match made in heaven."

"It's rare for Sister Rantao to praise me like this, so I want to give you a big gift."

Ran Tao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I will give it to Your Majesty. What do you want the servant girl to do?" After she finished her anger, she said with emotion, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty are so good, we will be together forever."

Zhao Shiqi was even happier and nodded again and again.

Ran Tao covered his mouth and smiled.

After Zhao Cong was settled down and slept more soundly, Zhao Shiqi returned to Houyuan again.

At least he wanted to show his face. After all, it was Zhao Cong who was throwing a banquet in the palace.

When he arrived, he specially asked Ji Xiang to say a few words loudly so that the people in the pavilion would know that he was coming.

He walked into the gazebo and looked at the expressions of the two with burning eyes.Gu Ci was so calm, he couldn't help dodging a little bit, on the contrary, that idiot Xie Wenrui, with red eye circles, just stared at Gu Ci.

The two sat very close.

Zhao Shiqi thought to himself, it seemed that Xie Wenrui had already confessed his heart to each other, but Xie Wenrui was really useless, so he might not have won it yet.What did he say, the medicine should be given directly.After taking the medicine, the two of them were tied up and sent out of the palace, and locked up in a mansion for a night, what can't happen?

Gu Ci dodged for a while, finally calmed down again, and asked, "Eleventh Lord, where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is a little tired, go back and rest first."

Xie Wenrui regained his composure and asked, "Is your Majesty okay?" The drunkenness in his voice was quite high, probably because he had drunk some more wine.

Zhao Shiqi smiled: "It's just that I'm tired. I'm sorry for the two of you, but we didn't accompany you when I asked you to enter the palace for a banquet."

When Gu Ci heard this, he felt a little weird.

Gu Ci is a smart person, so he can naturally see that the Eleventh Lord is not a kind person at all. Gu Ci used to think that the Eleventh Lord was afraid of his majesty.

But he just spoke so kindly, it was a bit weird to think about it.However, His Majesty is indeed lenient towards others, Gu Ci thought to himself, did he say that because he wanted to be consistent with His Majesty?

In this way, does this gentleman really have admiration for His Majesty?

Gu Ci couldn't figure it out, and didn't bother to think about it anymore, he stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty's words like this are disrespecting me and Xie, sir, your Majesty has sent us to the palace for a banquet, which is already a great honor and respect." grace."

Also called "Master Xie"?

Sure enough, nothing happened.

Zhao Shiqi didn't intend to talk to them too much, after listening to Gu Ci's words, he just smiled and said, "Let's come here today, I won't send it off. Auspicious——"

"Lang Jun."

"You sent the two gentlemen out of the palace, but Mr. Xie was a little drunk. How about Gu Langjun sending Mr. Xie home for me? Your Majesty values ​​Mr. Xie very much. If something goes wrong, you will be very worried."

Gu Ci didn't dare to frown, but he was scolding in his heart. He just felt that these people knew something!It's all because of the idiot Xie Wenrui!

But he didn't dare not listen to these words, because Zhao Shiqi's status was very different from his.Furthermore, he was also afraid of doing something wrong and dragging down Xie Wenrui, so he had no choice but to agree.

Zhao Shiqi nodded towards Jixiang, and Jixiang led the two of them to the pavilion.

Gu Ci asked again: "Eleventh Lord, Yelu—"

"I have ordered someone to look at it. If he wakes up, I will send him back. If he is not awake, there is a place for him to live in the palace."

Gu Ci nodded, turned around and left without asking any further questions.

Zhao Shiqi was in a good mood, and said behind him: "Gu Langjun, you must send Mr. Xie home well, remember to send him back to his room and wait for him to sleep, otherwise His Majesty must be very worried. "

Gu Ci gritted his teeth and replied: "Yes!"

As soon as they left, Zhao Shiqi laughed.

He secretly thought, Xie Wenrui, Xie Wenrui, the combined face of the two lifetimes, if you help me for this sake, if nothing happens, what face will I have in the future?
