love poison

***

The people and horses stopped and went, dawdled for two hours, and finally arrived at Yunding.

Zhaoyue said it was a country, but in fact it was very small, and the territory was not as wide as Yuezhou. The palace of King Zhaoyue was just a bigger village. But it was far from it.Moreover, the entire Wangzhai did not build walls to surround the city, but only used natural dangers as barriers, and warriors patrolled the mountains day and night.

Zhaoyue people are very warm, the welcome down the mountain is not enough, they continue to welcome on the mountain, the sound of singing and dancing can be heard from afar, Zhaoyue people kill cattle and goats, prepare good wine, set up a bonfire in the open air and set up tables and chairs for Rong Hua picks up the wind and washes away the dust.

Erji and A Tuo's guards didn't know that he had followed Xin Mu's ass down the mountain. He was still looking for him everywhere just now. He was so anxious that he stood at the gate of Wangzhai and waited. Now he finally saw this The ineffective little ancestor quickly welcomed him back to the Xiyi team.Originally, Erji A Tuo wanted to get closer to Ronghua, but now he still had lingering fears about Ronghua's stare before, so he slightly distanced himself from Ronghua, and didn't dare to say more.

Rong Hua seemed to have forgotten the previous unhappiness, with a smile in his eyes, he followed Xin Mu and said to him: "The third prince doesn't need to make it so grand, it's too polite."

Xin Mu bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty told me this. It's the first time Lord Hou came here, so I'm afraid I don't know about it. Your Majesty will go to the temple to pray for blessings before his birthday every year, so he can't greet Lord Hou in person. I will entertain on your behalf, I have prepared some thin wine, please don't mind, Lord Hou. I don't understand the etiquette of your Han people, if there is any place where the hospitality is not good, please bear with me."

"It's okay, I've heard people say about it, your majesty's prayer is the most important thing, we should do as the Romans do. Besides, it's a great honor to have such a beautiful woman as the third prince to accompany you."

Xin Mu's complexion did not change, and he said lightly: "Master Hou, please take a seat."

After Rong Hua took his seat, Xin Mu said politely to Er and A Tuo: "His Royal Highness Wang Sun came here for a few days, and he also greeted you before. Today, Lord Marquis is the host and guest. Please do not blame His Highness Wang Sun."

Erji Atuo smiled, and the flesh on his face nearly squeezed his eyes: "Why, I don't want to be that lord, I want to be next to you."

As if she didn't hear what he said, Xin Mu still maintained the gesture of inviting him to a seat.Erji Atuo sat down with a silly smile on his face, and Xin Mu sat opposite him.

After being seated, Zhaoyue Beauty in gorgeous costumes began singing and dancing.Zhaoyue does not have many etiquettes like Dasheng, she is a very simple, hospitable and informal nation, this welcome banquet has no rules, it is like an ordinary rich businessman's family banquet, the royal family and nobles are also very enthusiastic, holding a glass of wine to start Talk to Rong Hua.

In this way, Xin Mu was finally able to relax and sit quietly in his seat, with no expression on his face, but the muscles on his face did not look so tense. Presumably he is not good at communicating with people, so let him entertain Ronghua and Erji. A Tuo, it is extremely difficult to maintain such politeness.King Zhaoyue and the second prince of the crown prince both went to the temple. I don’t know why the eldest prince is not loved by King Zhaoyue. He only led the five villages in the 99 villages. Now he is staying in his own village, waiting for King Zhaoyue to come. After returning from the temple, he was allowed to go to Wangzhai.

Calculated in this way, only Xin Mu is on the same level as Rong Hua and Er Ji A Tuo.During the few days when King Zhaoyue went to the temple, Xin Mu had to accompany these two no matter how reluctant he was.

His reluctance was not written on his face, because this person was really like a beauty carved from ice, without any popularity at all.This is also a different kind of temperament. Maybe it is because he is so cold and has no fireworks that fascinates Erji Atuo, a common man, so fascinated.

While drinking with others, Rong Hua was thinking about Xin Mu in his heart.He has always been good at dancing, and he has become brothers and sisters with several Zhaoyue royal families during the exchange of cups and cups, and he soon brought in the people from Xiyi. Among the crowd, no one is sober.

In this way, I can finally go back to rest, Xin Mu arranged for the servants to send all the drunk adults back to the dormitory one by one.The crowd was in chaos, and Xin Mu was disturbed by the disturbance. She wanted to leave after making arrangements, but before she could move, suddenly, the drunk Erji Atuo rushed out of the crowd and grabbed Xin Mu's arm. .

Xin Mu frowned slightly, his eyes finally fluctuated a little, revealing a trace of panic, perhaps that panic made that face more moving, Er Ji A Tuo was almost stunned, and he tightly grabbed the person's arm , No matter how others pulled him, he refused to let go, and shouted with his tongue: "Third Prince... Xin, Xin Mu, I want... I want to say..."

Xin Mu tried hard to pull out his hand, and said in a cold voice: "His Royal Highness Wang Sun has something to say, let's talk about it when we wake up tomorrow."

Erji Atuo refused, and still grabbed Xin Mu's arm. He was about to continue talking when he hiccupped and then continued to retch. Xin Mu turned pale and twitched harder. own arm, but it was too late, the next moment Erji Atuo vomited forcefully.

Erji Atuo didn't know whether he was drunk or something, and he refused to let go of the situation. Xin Mu was afraid that he would be spit all over, so he had no time to dodge, so he had to raise a sleeve to cover his face, and the onlookers were still struggling pull.

At this moment, a pair of hands stretched out, grabbed Erji Atuo's wrist with one hand and twisted it, and for some reason, Erji Atuo, who couldn't pull him apart, let go of his hand, and then he grabbed Erji Atuo's wrist with the other hand. Xin Mu's arm pulled the person into his arms, and then he turned around, and Xin Mu felt that he had fallen into a rather generous embrace.

At the same time, Erji Atuo finally vomited out his mouthful of filth, and with a "wow", he threw up Ronghua's back.

Rong Hua didn't wear thick clothes, so he could feel the temperature of those things very clearly, accompanied by the stench, Rong Hua rolled his eyes in disgust.

"Oh my lord!"

"Take a brocade handkerchief and wipe it off for Lord Hou!"

"Send Your Highness back quickly!"

For a while, the scene was very exciting, everyone was shouting and apologizing to the two of them, and dragged away the drunk Er and A Tuo.

Rong Hua calmed down after getting used to being disgusted, and asked the person in his arms softly: "Are you all right? Didn't you get frightened?"

At this time, Rong Hua was still holding Xin Mu's hand, and Xin Mu's sleeve was torn apart a lot during the tugging. Rong Hua clearly saw the light red crescent birthmark on the inner side of Xin Mu's forearm.Because the skin was too white, the red birthmark was very obvious, and for some reason, when Rong Hua saw this white arm, he felt a twitch in his heart, as if he had been scratched by someone, and it was a little itchy.

As soon as Xin Mu raised his head, he saw Rong Hua's eyes full of smiles. He had never been so close to a person before, and the feeling in his heart was very strange.

Such an intimate embrace made Xin Mu uncomfortable, he broke away from Ronghua's embrace and took a big step back, his face flushed slightly, and his brows frowned even deeper.

Rong Hua is really going to be defeated by this iceberg beauty, shouldn't he be a little shy?Why such an expression?It's like being hugged by Ronghua is no different from being spit all over by Erji Ato.

"It's good that you're fine." Ronghua is so affectionate, even if the beauty is so indifferent, it won't make him feel depressed, but he still has a smile in his eyes, and he took off his coat and threw it aside.

At this time, Xin Mu finally felt that it was a little rude to be so cold-eyed to the person who helped him. He hooked the corners of his mouth and squeezed out an expression that could barely be called a smile, and then cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, Lord Hou, your clothes are so beautiful. If it's dirty, I'll order someone to prepare hot water for you, and ask Master Hou to take a bath."

Finally seeing this iceberg beauty smiling at him, Rong Hua only felt that the smile made him feel good, so he immediately responded with a coquettish smile, and said softly: "It's okay, as long as the third prince is fine."

Xin Mu said a few more polite words, and soon sent someone to send Rong Hua to the bedroom, and he did not show up again.

***

This Wangzhai in Zhaoyue is not as big as the Duke of Yue's mansion, so there's nothing unusual about it, Ronghua doesn't even have the interest to take a look around.

The two most luxurious ones belonged to King Zhaoyue and the second prince, and the small building next to it was Xin Mu's, and the small building arranged for Ronghua, Er and A Tuo was next to Xin Mu.The land is too small, and it would be troublesome to bring many servants forward and back, so Ronghua sent those servants and let them go to the building with Liu Shilang to stay in the outermost building, and only stay with Zhen Zhen.

The servant girl took Ronghua and Zhizhen into the small building prepared for him. After entering the building, Ronghua found that the window of his bedroom was facing Xin Mu, and he could still be seen reading under the oil lamp.

He wanted to say hello to Xin Mu from afar, but Xin Mu didn't see him at all, so he closed the window directly.

"Master Hou, people didn't look at you at all." Zhizhen said a little sourly, "I looked at you, but I was ignored for a long time. Master Hou is really too much."

Rong Hua turned back and smiled at him, rubbed his hair and said, "How could you be left out in the cold, it was just because you were afraid that those savages would pour you alcohol, so you avoided it."

When I really wanted to talk, there were a few knocks on the door, and a young man's voice sounded outside: "Master Hou, my servant Fang Lan, was sent by the third prince to serve you. Master Hou's hot water is ready, May I ask Lord Hou if you want to take a bath and change clothes at this time."

Rong Hua hugged Zhizhen and said: "This voice is good, it sounds really sweet, and people should be so sweet."

Zhizhen shook his head, and said angrily: "Go, go, you are fascinated by the beauty of Zhaoyue, I can't stop you. There are so many rooms in this small building, let's do it tonight I don't care where I stay."

"Nonsense, I'm just going to take a shower, and I'll be back in a while." Rong Hua spoke, and soon he walked out of the room.
