My companion is a bit fierce

Seeing that Qi Shen obediently agreed, Qi Lan left with Rong Jue.

Rong Jue said: "Qi Shen... the third prince seems to be like this all the time, if you tell him that, he won't go to the empress."

"Indeed." Qi Lan said, "Do you think everyone is like you?"

If you don't give it, you will grab it, just like a little bandit.

Rong Jue let out a "tss": "Is this not good for me?"

Of course it's good.

Qi Lan answered silently in his heart, but he still replied: "It's always better to be more elegant."

"You mean I'm not refined enough?"

"No... I meant to be more gentle..." Qi Lan found it difficult to answer this question, but in his opinion Rong Jue was fine like this.

Even if he is a bit arrogant sometimes, he will not be unreasonable. He is not very interested in poetry and books, but he will not be ignorant.

——Everything is good, every point is just right.

He wanted to find a suitable word to describe him, but couldn't find any.

Rong Jue snorted: "Something like gentleness can't be eaten. Then, what I want to say is not this—no matter what others say, I won't change it."

Qi Lan said "hmm": "Then don't change it."

"So good?" Rong Jue raised his eyebrows and asked him, his crow-feather-like eyelashes fluttered upwards, and his eyes seemed to be shining with brilliance.

Qi Lan was stunned for a while, and said: "It's all good."

"Are you stupid?" Rong Jue got Qi Lan's backing down and immediately pushed his nose to the face, "I can't even say anything."

He approached him again: "I still want to be the prince."

If it weren't for Qi Lan's good patience, this would be familiar.

He turned sideways away from Rong Jue, not daring to look at him again: "It's neither big nor small."

"Okay." Rong Jue accepted it as soon as he saw it, and felt that this method was good, Qi Lan was still afraid of him as always.

After he returned to Mobei...

Rong Jue shook his head uncomfortably, shaking off the inexplicable melancholy, it's still early, he doesn't want to go that far.

===

Memorials piled up one after another on the desk, and Emperor Tong Xi casually flipped through a few of them before lazily putting them down.

He asked Liu An: "What did the messenger in Mobei say?"

Liu An bowed and replied: "As I said there, the harvest is not good, and there are even no harvests in some places."

No harvest? !

Emperor Tongxi couldn't sit still: "Is this really true?"

Seeing that he was emotional, Liu An immediately knelt down: "That's exactly what the original words said."

Emperor Tongxi frowned and walked back and forth, tightly holding the book written by Rong Xu himself, which briefly described the situation in Mobei, and predicted that this year the Xiongnu would be restless due to lack of food. conflict.

This year everyone's harvest is not good, the Mobei border is tense, and here, the crown prince has been unable to make a decision, and the struggle between the court and the court is already difficult to avoid.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there were more things going on. Usually, Rong Xu's notes would never say that. He always said "everything is fine, don't worry about my emperor".

——If you can make him say something bad, I'm afraid it's really bad.

He had a terrible headache, and Emperor Tong Xi's legs were sore from walking, so he sat down straight and took a rest.

When he looked back and saw that there were so many things waiting for him to deal with on the desk, his eyes immediately went dark.

"Your Majesty!" Liu An threw his whisk to support Emperor Tongxi, "Your Majesty! Do you want to announce the Imperial Physician?"

Emperor Tongxi had a severe headache, and his eyes were foggy. He could only hear Liu An shouting in his ear. He took a breath and wanted to stand up, but found that his legs were weak.After a pause, he said slowly: "No need, Liu An, help me to rest. In addition, Prime Minister Xuan Wang entered the palace!"

===

Morning the next day.

Prime Minister Wang wrote a letter again, asking Qi Lan to be the crown prince.

All the officials were divided into factions to agree, but this time, when everyone saw Emperor Tongxi's face, a small drum suddenly rang in their hearts.Emperor Tongxi still did not make a clear objection this time, whether he really wanted the eldest prince, which made Prime Minister Wang write letters again and again.

For ordinary emperors, if the courtiers forced him so hard, he would have had a fit long ago.

If Emperor Tongxi also agreed, then even if the Feng family objected, the crown prince's position would not change.

After everyone had finished their speeches, Emperor Tongxi said slowly: "Since I succeeded to the throne, I have been trembling and sleepy all night. I dare not be sloppy. The position of prince is the foundation of the country, and the ancestor of the country has lasted for thousands of years. Needs, have to stand."

He paused, looked at the faces of the courtiers below, and continued: "Prince Qi Lan, who is both a concubine and an elder, is talented and upright. I follow the people's will, bow to the public opinion, and become the prince!"

——The matter of establishing Qilan as the crown prince is settled.

The Feng family didn't expect that Emperor Tong Xi would make a decision so quickly. He was obviously hesitant before, but he didn't expect to make a decision within a few days.Only Prime Minister Wang, although he wrote the letter, was extremely calm, as if he had already expected the result.

Emperor Tongxi issued an edict to hold a canonization ceremony on an auspicious day.

When the dust settled, the position of crown prince finally belonged to the eldest prince Qi Lan.

===

It was Liu An who came to announce the decree to Qi Lan. He announced the canonized decree with a smile on his face. Seeing that Rong Jue was there, he cupped his hands and congratulated: "Our family will also congratulate His Royal Highness this time."

Rong Jue was stunned for a moment, before he could react, Liu An smiled again: "The prince is close to the prince, the people of Mobei are blessed."

Rong Jue looked at Qi Lan, remembering all the calculations and considerations for Mobei before, the roots of his ears suddenly burned, and the blush burned directly to his cheeks.He was rarely ashamed: "I know, don't say it."

Qi Lan looked at Rong Jue strangely, it is rare to see Rong Jue like this.

He glanced at it a few times, but didn't dare to look again.

For some reason, he seemed to care more and more about this Prince Rong, and it was easy to notice that he was better looking than ordinary people.

When most people look at Rong Jue, they will first notice his aura, but they will ignore his overly good looks.

The domineering and tyrannical Prince Rong's son has already been famous in the entire Ding capital.

When more people mention Rong Jue, they will first mention other aspects of him, such as his personality, status, or his father, and basically they will not mention how good-looking the prince Rong is.

Maybe it's because I have been in contact with it a lot, so I noticed these places that others didn't notice?

Qi Lan thought to himself.

When it was time to fall asleep, Rong Jue came to look for Qi Lan again with his pillow in his arms.

Actually, Rong Jue doesn't have to be like this.After so many years, everyone knows that when Prince Rong comes to Qi Lan's place, he will sleep on his bed.

——In other words, the secret that Prince Rong likes to sleep in a big bed is no longer a secret.

But tacitly.

Although I knew it in my heart, everyone still had to pretend on the surface, otherwise it would be bad for Prince Wang to be angry.

——He really knows how to beat people, and his bird is also a powerful thief.

Qi Lan suppressed a smile, opened the door, and let Rong Jue in.

Rong Jue still went his own way, put the pillow next to Qi Lan's pillow, pinched the quilt again, frowned and said: "It's a lot colder today, why don't you thicken the quilt?"

"well enough."

Qi Lan thought for a while, sleeping two of them every day, Rong Jue is good at martial arts, sleeping next to him is like a small heater, he really doesn't feel cold.

Besides, he also has some background, although he may not be as good as Rong Jue, but these years, under Rong Jue's supervision, he is not bad, but there is no chance to show it.

Rong Jue put the pillow away, and while fiddling with the quilt, he said casually: "Speaking of which, you are really frugal here, I have been here so many times, why haven't you changed the bed in the side hall?"

The bed in the side hall was a bit small for Rong Jue's current stature, and he slept timidly.

Rong Jue is even more unwilling to go now.

Qi Lan turned his head, a little embarrassed, he thought that Rong Jue would come to him anyway, so he just didn't do it.

Besides...Rong Jue is not with him every night.

Qi Lan: "You don't come here often, so let's make do with it."

"It's okay?" Rong Jue muttered, the last person who dared to tell him to make it up doesn't know which lump he's in now.

That is to say, Qi Lan said that he could bear it.

He snorted softly: "I always sleep with you, it's very inconvenient."

"Where is it inconvenient?" Qi Lan asked him, "I think you are quite skilled."

The weather was hot in the summer before, Rong Jue felt that it would be easy for people to find out if he kept running around the palace, so he even thought of the method of opening the window.

During those days, Qi Lan was worried every day that he would be caught as an assassin by the patrol.

I told him several times and he still didn't listen, which scared him to wake up every night, and his energy was much worse during the day.

Now that the weather is getting colder and the dew is getting deeper, Qi Lan is worried that he is catching a cold, so he specifically ordered the people below not to come here at this time of night, just to save Rong Jue's so-called "face".

Rong Jue made the bed, retracted into the quilt, and counted with his fingers: "The progress of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is too slow. After so long, my mansion has not been repaired. There is still the matter of establishing a crown prince. Once delayed, when will it be better.”

Qi Lan turned off the light, climbed onto the bed and heard Rong Jue's words, her movements froze: "Are you unhappy? I'm here...isn't it good?"

That's what Rong Jue complained about, but he didn't expect Qi Lan to care.

He turned his head, and in the darkness, Qi Lan's eyes were also deep, looking at him without blinking.

"No... I'm just saying," he closed his eyes, "I'm asleep."

Qi Lan looked at Rong Jue steadfastly, Rong Jue would make a lot of small movements when sleeping, and he would inevitably push the quilt away a little.

His palms gradually became hot, and he broke out a little sweat.Stretching out his hand to pull up the quilt, he saw that Rong Jue's body was buried under the quilt, only a small head was left, and his long shiny black hair was neatly scattered. He closed his eyes, calm and serene, as if he had sunk into the darkness. sweet dreams.

"Ah Jue..." Qi Lan murmured in a hoarse voice, thinking that this name would be fine no matter what.

— just like everyone else.

Jue, Peiyu also.The ancients used it as a gift to show their determination.

Qi Lan was silent, thinking of Emperor Tong Xi's consideration for making him the crown prince, and from now on, he and Rong Jue will be on the same line.

He, Mobei, and Prince Rong's Mansion have risen and fallen together, shared honor and disgrace.

If in the future Rong Wangfu...

No, not later.

Qi Lan whispered: "I will never let this happen, Ah Jue, you won't betray me, right?"

Rong Jue closed his eyes and didn't respond.

After Qi Lan fell asleep, he opened his eyes and lay there until dawn.

—a sleepless night.
