Come on, Your Highness

The author has something to say: A girl said that the emotional transition is a bit strange, I read it again myself, it is indeed quite blunt.

Changed a bit, it should be smoother.

Thanks to this reader girl for correcting me, (づ￣3￣)づ

Xiao Hong went to one of the largest and most luxurious restaurants in the capital, and those who ate there could recognize him at a glance, even if there were people who didn't know, he had an epiphany when Xiao Hong said "give me a private room".

Oh, this is the eldest prince who was rejected by Miss Yongninghou!

At this moment, Xiao Hong's face was clouded with clouds, and the wind and rain were about to come, and he could tell at a glance that he was in an extremely bad mood.That's right, the emperor had chosen two good families for him, but in the end, one got a green hat and the other didn't like it at all, and he was slapped in the face, even more exciting than singing.

Someone secretly glanced at him curiously, not knowing why the First Prince was so sharp, he caught him right away, and stared back with a dark and cold gaze, his scalp went numb with fright, and he quickly lowered his head, wishing he could shrink back.

"You're crazy, how dare you touch his brow at this time?" The companion next to him complained in a low voice, and even the hair on his back couldn't help but stand up at that glance.

The eldest prince was unhappy, if he really wanted to take it out on them, even if he sued the emperor, they would have to be punished first.

"Aren't I curious?" The man muttered, but he didn't dare to lift his head.

But fortunately, a few small shrimps, seeing them knowing Xiangde bowed their heads like quails, Xiao Hong snorted coldly and didn't take it seriously.

The shopkeeper was trembling, with a flattering face, "My lord, please come with me."

At this time, don't say that if it is full, please book in advance. Even if the seats in this big restaurant are arranged for a year, there will be an empty room all year round.

For nothing else, I'm afraid of encountering unreasonable, let alone unofficial stubble, such as the King of England who seems to be able to blow up with a little bit now.

Don't think that the whole capital is laughing at him, but who dares to ridicule him face to face?Do you want something around your neck?

"Give me all the ones you are good at, and two pots of good wine." Xiao Hong ordered when he went upstairs, then he thought for a while, and added, "I want the strongest!"

"The strongest?" The shopkeeper was startled.

"Yes, don't fool me with that kind of soft and insensitive one!"

"...Yes." It seemed that he was using alcohol to relieve his worries.

With some difficulty, the shopkeeper led Xiao Hong up to the third floor and sent him into the private room. When he exited, he even tugged at Xiaodunzi who was following behind.

Xiao Dunzi squinted and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Please tell me, father-in-law, this is the strongest wine... One drink in our restaurant can make a big man drunk. Is His Royal Highness... the small ones don't mean anything, I'm just afraid that His Highness will hurt you." The shopkeeper sneered at Xiaodunzi A piece of silver was stuffed in his hand.

Xiao Dunzi said: "Your Highness told you to go, so stop talking nonsense and go."

"Hey..." The shopkeeper went down to order with a look of embarrassment.

The waiter at the bottom asked, "What if I get drunk?"

The shopkeeper sighed, "What can we do? Hurry up and get ready, prepare the hangover tea, by the way, immediately send someone to look for the eldest son, if something happens to the eldest prince here, we won't be able to afford it. "

The food and wine came to the table like flowing water, with all the colors, aromas and tastes. After all, it is the first-class noodles that ordinary people queue up to order for the last time. Looking at it makes people very appetizing.

As night fell and the lights came on, this private room faced the street, and when you opened the window, you could see people coming and going below.

Daqi was resting and recuperating. He hadn't fought for a long time. The capital was prosperous and the people were rich, which led to a series of night life. Diagonally opposite was a music workshop, and a few faint sounds of silk and bamboo could be heard.

Xiao Hong sat in front of the window, watching the bustle below, waiting for the person he hadn't seen for nearly a month.

Finally, a carriage arrived in front of the restaurant, and a boy in the front jumped off the carriage and helped a young man in a white ferret fur cape get off the carriage.

Immediately, all the colors of the voice faded instantly, under the heaven and the earth, Xiao Hong felt that he only saw such a person, and his empty heart found a home.

He Xichao turned his face slightly, his brows and eyes curved together with the corners of his lips, and walked into the restaurant.

As soon as He Xichao entered the lobby, Xiao Dunzi hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young Master Xichao, you are finally here. Your Highness has been waiting for you for a long time. This matter, alas, I have to persuade you."

As soon as the words came out, all eyes turned over, and He Xichao unbuttoned the cloak on his body, and heard the nearby diners say: "This is He Erlang!"

"No, the youngest Xie Yuanlang."

"It seems that he knows that the eldest prince is here to drink away his worries, so he came here to comfort him."

"At this time, this is probably the only one who can persuade the eldest prince to think about it."

"A man can't think about it, look at the face of the First Prince just now, tsk tsk..."

"Fortunately, that one shut up quickly, otherwise he would have to go out sideways."

"Hey, it's actually just two women. These ladies are pretty much the same. They're not as interesting as the girls in Piaoxiangyuan. You'll know after you taste it."

"Keep your voice down, can you say this casually?"

"Don't bother us."

"That's right. Besides, is this a woman's problem? That's the Wang family and the Yongning Houfu. How much help is there, and who doesn't want a few princes!"

"That's right, it's fine if the emperor doesn't have that intention. It's obvious that he wants to give the marriage, but it's broken in the hands of the two girls. I, too, have to die."

"Just you, stop kidding."

"Let's use an analogy."

"I heard that the Xi'anbo Mansion will be next, but I reckon it won't be possible."

"how do you know?"

"Guess."

"Hi!"

"Don't you believe it."

……

These people didn't dare to talk like this in front of Xiao Hong, probably because they saw He Xi's tender face, most of the scholars couldn't help but they didn't know each other, so they talked a little vigorously.

He Xichao walked upstairs while listening to the gossip.

Slightly smirking, he thought that Xiao Hong was quite good at putting on a show, and it didn't take one night, probably everyone in the capital knew that the First Prince was in a bad mood, so he came here to drink.

Xiao Dunzi opened the door of the private room, and when He Xichao walked in, he saw Xiao Hongzheng sitting at the table with a wine glass in front of him, with a sad face and an unbearable look.

He Xichao was suddenly surprised and said, "Are you really trying to drink away your worries?"

"No..." Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hong, who couldn't hold it back, suddenly let out a series of coughing sounds, and the coughing became louder and louder. He Xichao was stunned, and quickly handed over the tea on the table. Him, "What are you doing?" He patted Xiao Hong on the back with an anxious expression on his face.

Xiao Hong was choking uncomfortably. He took two sips of tea before he recovered his breath. He waved his hands, opened his mouth and made a hissing sound while explaining with difficulty: "My God, this wine is too, so fucking It's spicy!"

The wine glass in front of Xiao Hong was half down, He Xichao raised his head and smelled it, then immediately put it away, and kept away from it just by the smell.

"Why can't you drink this kind of wine?" He Xichao asked strangely.

Xiao Hong has just turned sixteen, so he is not yet an adult, he is not allowed to drink freely in the palace, and if there is a banquet, it is nothing more than fruit wine and small wine.He never seeks pleasure when he goes out of the palace, so Xiao Hong's drinking capacity is very light, and at most he can only keep up with those few people in the study to show off.

Xiao Hong grinned and bared his teeth, wanting to cry but said without tears: "I was thinking that I must bring some alcohol out, but this wine is too spicy!"

"You ordered it yourself?"

Xiao Hong nodded, "Why does Bulie let people know the depression in my heart?"

He Xichao raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "Regret?" However, before Xiao Hong could speak, he continued to agree, "I have never met the fourth lady of the Marquis of Yongning, she must be a rare beauty with her own opinions , don’t go with the crowd, a very unique girl, she should be quite to your liking. Well, it’s a pity, but if you don’t go back and fight for it, maybe you can win the beauty’s heart again?”

He Xichao's tone was relaxed, his expression was half a smile but not a smile, his seemingly sincere eyes inadvertently showed a gleam of cold light, which instantly made Xiao Hong's back stiff and the back of his neck slightly chilled.

"No...Xi Chao, I'm doing it for people to see, and I don't have any thoughts about that girl." Xiao Hong quickly explained.

He Xichao nodded, "It's okay to have ideas, is Fourth Miss good-looking?"

"It's okay..." Xiao Hong wanted to slap himself as soon as the words came out, "No, it doesn't look good at all, I don't like it anyway."

He Xichao blurted out, "Then what do you like?"

However, he regretted it the moment he said it, and felt that he would not want to hear any answer from Xiao Hong, or he would not dare to listen.

It's just that since he had already asked, there was no reason to take it back. He didn't want Xiao Hong to see anything strange, so he showed strong curiosity on his face, waiting for Xiao Hong's answer.

But no one knew that his heart was raised, with a trace of uneasiness and uneasiness, as well as inexplicable expectations.

Compared to He Xichao, Xiao Hong's mood is more complicated.

I don't like anything, only you in front of me!

But He Xichao slid the three words from the tip of his heart to his lips, and lingered for a long time, but he couldn't say anything.

Xiao Hong wanted to tell He Xichao just like this, to reveal his heart, express his love, and let him decide his sincerity.

But the latter can ask this question so easily, does it mean that he has no idea about him at all?Then his own sincerity is afraid that he will not take it, Xiao Hong can't afford to abandon it like a piece of paper.

He just looked at He Xichao steadfastly, with scorching heat hidden in the depths of his eyes, but his lips were tightly pressed together, as if this was the only way to lock in this eager answer, fearing that if he slacked off, he would escape and cause irreparable damage. situation.

Xiao Hong's palms were sweating in contradiction, but he didn't say a word.

The atmosphere was so weird and ambiguous.

The lingering sound of the piano from across the diagonal came again melodiously, someone was singing a ditty along with the tune, the words could not be heard clearly, but the girl's voice fluctuated up and down, mellow and mellow.

The lights were dim, and there was only He Xichao who was thinking about him beside him. Xiao Hong's heart was beating fast, and the sip of wine from before slowly came up, and he loosened his lips cunningly.

He thought, shrinking the head with a knife, shrinking the tail is still a knife, isn't everything he is doing now for the future of the two of them?Sooner or later, He Xichao needs to know, tell him now, and ask for an ending.

What if Xi Chao is interested in him?

What if you are willing to give him a chance?

He didn't want to marry the concubine, and He Xichao helped him in the open and in the dark, and didn't oppose him. Does that mean it wasn't his wishful thinking?

It's just that He Xizhao has never been willing to do uncertain things, and he doesn't want to take this difficult road, so that's okay, as long as you give him hope, he will walk.

The more Xiao Hong thought about it, the more excited he became, the burning in his eyes seemed to catch fire, he swallowed, licked the smell of alcohol on his lips, and mustered up his courage, "Xi Chao, I..."

"Okay, just kidding." He Xichao smiled lightly, turned his face away, and ended the entanglement.

In an instant, all of Xiao Hong's courage was poured out.

"I'm hungry, can I eat?" He Xichao asked while holding up his chopsticks.

Xiao Hong looked at the ignorant He Xichao, not to mention how disappointed he was. He didn't know whether it was because of his cowardice that he couldn't grasp the opportunity, or He Xichao's indifference made him disappointed. I ordered it for you, and it looks like you've lost weight."

"It's true, I didn't even bother to eat. But those accounts have been cleared up. After I move into the palace, I will make a corresponding budget according to the business situation." He Xichao said, and took a piece of crispy meat, "Yo, it's no better than the imperial chef. It’s inferior, you should try it too.”

As He Xichao said, he put a piece into his bowl, Xiao Hong dialed it, and then put it in his mouth, it felt a bit unpleasant.

"The account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be audited in half a month, how about it?"

"You decide."

He Xichao saw that he was in low spirits, and continued to chat as if nothing had happened, "When I was clearing the accounts before, I looked at it, and it must have been domineering for a long time. The accounts of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are full of loopholes. It is simply a clue, which is very beneficial to us."

"That's good." Xiao Hong picked up the rice, and it tasted like jue wax.

He Xichao really didn't expect to hit Xiao Hong like this, so he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Are you okay?"

Xiao Hong shook his head, he wanted to smile as usual, but in the end he found it very reluctant.

There seemed to be a crack in the bottom of my heart, and all kinds of bitterness and suffering rushed up, drowning my heart in a blink of an eye.

He Xichao was so smart, and he made such an obvious show of favor, so he probably knew his intentions, but that joking sentence of "I'm kidding you" extinguished all his struggles and enthusiasm, and it was actually no different from refusing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Hong became more and more sad, and he was about to cry.

He felt that he couldn't stay any longer, he should find a place where He Xichao wasn't there and have a good time to be sad.

He Xi looked sideways at Xiao Hong who was almost sad and flowing against the river, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.As Xiao Hong guessed, he is neither stupid nor stupid, maybe he is insensitive to feelings, but Xiao Hong's affection is so obvious, he can't see it anywhere.

But he dared not face it.

It's just that now he can't live without committing crimes, and the person next to him has been completely immersed in sadness, and He Xi's heart can't be pulled at the sight of that expression.

This time it can't be fooled.

He Xi sighed to his heart, put down his chopsticks, and called softly, "Xiao Hong."

Xiao Hong looked at him.

I saw He Xichao hesitating, as if he was in a bit of a dilemma, there was a hint of confusion in his firm eyes, but after a while he seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I... have a crush on you, but now you and I can't help ourselves, this road There are too many difficulties and obstacles, I can't see the future for the time being, it is impossible to respond to you, you...understand?"

The moment the voice just fell, the chopsticks in Xiao Hong's hand fell into the bowl with a thud, and then fell to the ground. The injury that was about to burst into tears just froze on his face. Floating in the air, dead and never returning to his place.

What self-pity and self-pity, what licking wounds alone, all disappeared in an instant, Xiao Hong felt that he could rest in peace at this moment...
