Those Years In Quest Of Honor Mine

Chapter 5 Zhong Wan, Where's My Osmanthus Cake

Zhong Wan thought for a moment that she hadn't woken up from the dream.

Yu Ziyou has grown a lot taller, and his eyebrows have become sharper. The worry that could not be dispelled between his brows when he was a teenager turned into hostility, adding a bit of slyness to this handsome face.

Zhong Wan wondered if I was awake or not, if I was awake, how could I see Yu Ziyou, if I was dreaming...how could I see this person so clearly.

Zhong Wan's feverish ears were buzzing, his mind was muddled, and he was struggling to stand up, but his hands and feet were as if they had been filled with lead. He took a breath of relief, stood up with the sedan chair, and Unable to stand firmly, his weak legs gave way, and he fell straight down.

Zhong Wan knelt in the snow, looked at Yu Ziyou's black boots, and felt that she was dreaming again.

In the dream, it was ten years ago, when Zhong Wan entered the palace to study with him not long ago.

At that time, those who were taught by Old Madam Shi at the same age were Zhong Wanyushe, the fourth prince and the fifth prince.

Among the four, although Zhong Wan was the accompanying reader, she was the best both in terms of writing and talent. Occasionally, he praised them frequently when he was teaching them. Emperor Chong'an even jokingly asked Zhong Wan if he wanted to enter the Ministry of Education.

Entering Zhongshu Province to be the emperor's secretary is to draft an imperial edict for the emperor.

Zhong Wan was young at the time and didn't understand Zang Feng. He said that he didn't dare to accept such a special treatment from the emperor, and made people look down on Prince Ning's mansion, but he asked the emperor to leave a chair for him in Zhongshu Province, and he would only stay for a big year. , he can naturally announce his entry into Zichen.

Although Emperor Chong'an was not sure that Zhong Wan would really be able to enroll as a young man, he liked this bright and dazzling youthful spirit very much. He accepted Zhong Wan's request with a smile, saying that he would ask King Ning to send a chair to the Zhongshu Province for Zhong Wan to prepare for tomorrow. The fourth and fifth princes were itching their teeth in anger.

The fifth prince, Xuan Qiong, hated Zhong Wan for only making insidious tricks, and pretended to be courteous to Zhong Wan. The fourth prince, Xuan Jing, had a bad temper, and would come face to face if he had any dissatisfaction. Watching himself drink enough to get Zhong Wan drunk.

Zhong Wan didn't lose his composure when he was drunk, but he was a little confused. On the way out of the palace, he couldn't distinguish the way, and his head was dizzy again, so he sat in a gazebo to rest.

That day, Zhong Wan met Yu She.

Xu is his nephew, Uncle Xiao, Yu She's brows look a bit like King Ning, Zhong Wan's drunk eyes are hazy, thinking that King Ning is looking for him.

Zhong Wan felt that he had lost his composure, and with a smile, he knelt down to pay respects to "King Ning".

The young man Yu She didn't understand what Zhong Wan was humming, so he asked him what's the matter softly, Zhong Wan thought that King Ning was scolding him, relying on being favored, shameless, knelt on the ground and gently grabbed the hem of "King Ning" , whispered for mercy: "I won't drink anymore, my father spared me... this time."

Yu She: "..."

In the clear sky and broad daylight, young Yu She was recognized as a wild father in the imperial garden.

After Zhong Wan said this sentence, she fell asleep leaning on the other person's lap while pulling Yu She's clothes. Yu She couldn't move, hesitated for a while, and helped him up. I couldn't help but put my whole body on someone's body, and finally...

Zhong Wan knelt in the snow and shivered, thinking wildly, what happened in the end?Did Yu Ziyou hug him back?

So what's going on now?Is this a dream?

"Zhong Wan." Yu She looked at Zhong Wan quietly, and asked lightly, "Where's my sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

It was as if Zhong Wan had been stabbed in the chest suddenly, causing pain in his internal organs, and he was instantly sober.

Not dreaming.

Zhong Wan understood, and she fell into the trap.

This sedan chair and that bearer are all Yu She's people.

Yu She waited for a while, seeing that Zhong Wan didn't answer, he asked, "Can you get up?"

It wasn't ten years ago, King Ning would not come to look for him, and Yu She had no plans to help him now, Zhong Wan gritted his molars, and slowly stood up, his whole body ached from the burning, barely Said: "My little prince Yu is welcome."

Yu She's face was cloudy, and he said after a while: "Come in."

Zhong Wan didn't bring anyone with him, even if he brought someone along, it would be impossible to escape from Yu She, so he could only follow in.

Zhong Wan followed behind Yu She, glanced around from the corner of the eye, and saw that this was the other courtyard of Prince Yu's Mansion.

Back then when he fell into slavery and was bought back by Yu She, he placed him here.

Yu She led him all the way into the warm pavilion, Zhong Wan's body was already frozen, and as soon as he entered the warm place, his whole body shivered slightly.

Yu She sat down, and the servants offered hot tea, he picked it up, and took a sip slowly.

Zhong Wan stood in the hall and looked at Yu She silently.

Yu She's appearance hasn't changed much, but his demeanor seems to have changed.

After drying Zhong Wan for half a cup of tea, Yu She said, "You've been wearing a lot of clothes, and you're still wearing a fur. After standing in the cold wind for a while, you're freezing like this?"

Yu She narrowed his eyes slightly, "I remember you are in good health."

Zhong Wan thought about it for a while, and carefully considered his tone, "Since I went to Qiannan, I have been unaccustomed to the environment, and I have been ill for a while. Since then, my body has been a little weak... Let the prince see a joke."

Yu She put the teacup on the table and said flatly, "It's not the truth."

Zhong Wan endured a headache that seemed to be pricked by a needle, and reluctantly dealt with it: "With a lowly body, I dare not bother the prince."

Yu She was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is it related to me?"

Zhong Wan was dizzy and shook her head: "No."

Yu She sneered, as if to say that Zhong Wan was lying, but he didn't say it after all, and started drinking tea again.

Zhong Wan thought, if you want to ask anything, hurry up, after a while I pass out, you won't even be able to ask lies.

Yu She sipped tea alone, as if he had forgotten Zhong Wan, Zhong Wan moved his fingers slowly, knowing in his heart that he should focus on dealing with Yu She right now, but he still couldn't help being distracted.

Yu She really changed a lot.

What happened to him all these years?

When Zhong Wan was young, he was walking in and out of the palace, and he heard a secret story by chance.

Rumor has it that Yu She is not the biological son of Prince Yu, but the illegitimate son of Emperor Chong'an.

It is reasonable for such rumors to spread.

For example, Emperor Chong'an's extraordinary favor towards Yu She, compared with the fourth and fifth princes of the same age, they had to stand aside.

Another example is the princes who have been unable to support Emperor Chong'an. The eldest son and second son of Emperor Chong'an died one after another, and the third son is a sick child. If Yu She is really the son of Emperor Chong'an, then he will be the fourth eldest son according to his age. It was the emperor who believed in the words of the fortune-teller, and knew that his position as emperor was unknown and would harm the welfare of his descendants. Seeing that his first three sons were dying of illness, he was afraid that his fourth son would not be able to support him, so he decided to Send him to the mansion of his sister, Princess An Guo?

There are many similar evidences, but when Zhong Wan heard this rumor when he was young, he didn't believe it.

First, Zhong Wan used to push forward according to Yu She's birthday, and found that Emperor Chong'an didn't have any concubines who were likely to give birth to Yu She in that year.

Naturally, Yu She might have been secretly born by an anonymous palace official, but Yu She was named the prince's son when he was one year old. If he is really the son of Emperor Chong'an, the emperor will give his son to Prince Yu as the prince's son. , This is forcing Prince Yu to rebel.

It's not that Prince Yu is unable to have children, he already has several bastards, but he is forced to make someone else's son his eldest son, and hand over the hereditary throne that his parents have earned with great difficulty, how could he be willing?

Zhong Wan didn't believe that Prince Yu was so loyal to the king, that he raised his son for someone else, and at the same time sent out his ancestor's foundation.

but……

Zhong Wan frowned slightly, Emperor Chong'an loved Yu She so much, why wouldn't he give him a princess?Why not get married and maintain and strengthen the in-law relationship with the prince of a different surname?

The fourth princess is indeed too young, but the third princess and Yu She are very similar in age, but Emperor Chong'an didn't give him a marriage.

And when Yu She begged to marry the fourth princess, it was rare for him to get angry with him.

Zhong Wan's headache was splitting, she didn't have time to think about her current situation, but she was worried for Yu She.

The emperor's sons and grandsons died one after another, so he started to worry about Xuanrui Xuanyu. He must see him in person. Can others not see this thought?

Fourth prince Xuan Jing, fifth prince Xuan Qiong, can't you tell?

They were afraid of King Ning's two sons, so what about Yu She?

Emperor Chong'an knew exactly what Yu She's life was like, but Xuan Jing and Xuan Qiong would not know.

Zhong Wan was suddenly a little out of breath, did these two princes already treat Yu She as a prince to guard against?

Is Emperor Chong'an really doting on Yu She, or treating him as a target...

Zhong Wan's mind was buzzing, and he could hardly stand up. He was too uncomfortable, so he didn't tense up for a moment, and blurted out: "After all these years of tossing, do you want to... avoid the chaos of fighting for reserves?"

Yu She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

Yu She put the teacup on the table, as if he had heard a big joke, and laughed to himself for a long time, Zhong Wan was secretly surprised, the previous Yu She would never be like this.

Yu She finally had enough of laughing, he coughed lightly, straightened his messy skirt, and shook his head: "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in."

Zhong Wan has tinnitus and headache at the moment, if he is not too familiar with Yu She's voice, he would not be able to hear what this person said, Zhong Wan was furious: "You have no hope at all, why..."

Yu She paused, understood what Zhong Wan was thinking, laughed again, and said for a while, "What are you thinking?"

Yu She restrained her smile, and said calmly: "I just want to make it difficult for everyone."

For many years, Zhong Wan, who had exhausted all his efforts just to survive, was so angry that he almost lost his footing when he heard this.

Zhong Wan laughed, and wondered if she had been sapped by all these years of tyranny, otherwise why would she want to scold him for his father when she heard Yu She's words.

Is it bad to live?

Zhong Wan was so angry that his eyes were red.

Yu Sherao looked at Zhong Wan with interest, and asked, "Zhong Wan...are you caring about me?"

Zhong Wan didn't hear what Yu She said, and raised her eyes blankly, Yu She sneered: "Understood...you just want to get away from me, and if you feel caring for me, I will miss the old love and let you go, yes no?"

Zhong Wan struggled to open his eyes, and now he is holding on with one breath. If he didn't want to lose his composure in front of Yu She, he would have found a chair and sat down first. He could only vaguely detect that Yu She had spoken, but what he said What, he couldn't hear a word.

Cold sweat broke out on Zhong Wan's forehead, he raised his hand and pinched the center of his brow, took a breath, and subconsciously said: "Ziyou, I feel bad..."

Yu She was startled, and said after a while: "Bring a bowl of ginger soup."

The servant looked up and hurriedly agreed to go.

Zhong Wan was completely burnt out, and ordered in a hoarse voice, "Put more sugar."

Yu She: "..."

The servant was also quite surprised, looking at Yu She, Yu She nodded.

Zhong Wan was already in a daze, and when he woke up again, he was already leaning on the couch where Yu She was sitting, ginger soup with extra sugar was brought up, Zhong Wan didn't care about anything else, took it and drank it down .

A bowl of ginger soup entered his stomach, and Zhong Wan's face became a little more bloody.

Yu She just looked at Zhong Wan without saying a word.

The servant brought another bowl to Zhong Wan, and Zhong Wan drank it in small sips. The servants of Prince Yu's Mansion were very good at doing things. They added some medicines to dispel wind and cold in the ginger soup, which were all good medicinal materials. After a stick of incense, he Immediately more comfortable.

When the body is comfortable, the mind becomes clear and the heart becomes more anxious.

What exactly did Yu She want to bring himself here?

Yu She didn't speak, Zhong Wan naturally didn't dare to say more, the two were relatively silent, one sipping tea and the other drinking medicine.

After a while, Yu She suddenly said: "Zhong Wan..."

Zhong Wan swallowed the last mouthful of ginger soup, put the small bowl on the table, faintly aware that Yu She wanted to give him a good time.

There was another suffocating silence.

Yu She tapped on the table and said slowly, "Over the years, I have asked myself a few times."

Zhong Wan raised her eyes, what do you mean?

Are you going to start sorting out the past together?

Yu She seemed to be immersed in his own past, and said slowly, "I am always confused, always puzzled, am I... I was seriously ill and my brain burned out."

Zhong Wan was at a loss: "Huh?"

"Or did you accidentally fall off the horse and hurt your head?"

Zhong Wan was stunned, what is this all about?

Yu She said indifferently, "Every time, I myself have to believe in the things you have arranged..."

Zhong Wan choked violently.

Yu She took a look at Zhong Wan and continued, "Every time, when I can't believe in myself, when I waver, I will ask my old man who has been with me since I was a child, if I have lost my memory, otherwise, why are I so flirtatious?" Romance, I can’t remember a single thing?”

Zhong Wan coughed heart-piercingly.

Zhong Wan tightly covered her mouth, at this juncture, she absolutely absolutely must not laugh out loud.

Since Yu She can kill Lin Si, he can also kill himself.

But thinking of the boy Yu She's collapsed self-doubt, grabbing the old servant and asking him if he lost his memory, Zhong Wan couldn't help it.

Zhong Wan buried her head deeply while coughing.

Yu Ziyou looked at Zhong Wan calmly, "Laugh, don't hold back."

Zhong Wan shook his head vigorously.

Yu Ziyou curled his lips into a smile, "Hey, come out laughing... Smile, and I'll make you cry once."

Zhong Wan's legs slackened for no reason, he could bear it, but he didn't hold back after hearing these words, and let out a laugh.

Yu Ziyou smiled: "Very good, let me say a word."

Zhong Wan pinched himself hard, he was much more comfortable now, he didn't dare to sit anymore, he got up and stood up.

Yu She looked at Zhong Wan with a complicated expression for a while, then suddenly said: "You go."

Zhong Wan was dumbfounded, so... let me go?

Yu She stood up, "I'm tired, let's go."

Zhong Wanru was forgiven, just turned around, and heard Yu She said coldly: "Take care of your dog that can't bark, don't let him bother me again."

Zhong Wan paused, knowing that he was talking about Lin Si, hummed, and backed out.

After the Longevity Festival, he was going to let Lin Si go back to Qian'an, so naturally he wouldn't bother Yu She anymore.

On the way back to Qian'an Palace, Zhong Wan struggled several times.

Zhong Wan's plan was very good at first, and after Emperor Chong'an was completely relieved, he brought his people back to Qian'an and never returned to Beijing, but now he suddenly hesitated again.

Zhong Wan thought about Yu She's situation, feeling very worried.

Anyway, Xuan Rui won't need him soon, so can he help Yu She make a plan and persuade him to get out early...

Zhong Wan instantly dismissed this idea again.

Leaving aside whether he can get away with it this time, how could he trust himself to help him after he has cheated Yu She so many times.

Zhong Wan tightened the fox fur on her body, and laughed at herself, besides, she got mixed up in this field, so what face would she have to go to him again.

Yu She probably just wanted to warn Lin Si that what happened today, in the future... Zhong Wan doesn't think Yu She will see her again.

It's too late to be disgusting.

Three months later, everyone will return to the bridge and return to the road, and they will probably never see each other again in this life.

At the same time in Prince Yu's Mansion, the old housekeeper from the other courtyard waited on Yu She to go to bed, and said in a gentle voice, "Did your son see Master Zhong today?"

Yu She nodded.

"The old slave also took a look through the curtain. Master Zhong has grown taller and more handsome."

Yu She didn't speak.

"There are many rumors about the eldest son and Young Master Zhong. Although the aristocratic family only treats it as a joke, they don't believe it, and it doesn't delay their wanting to marry our family, but it's not very good. It's fine to avoid everyone at night like this. Always meet..."

The old butler hesitated to speak, Yu She smiled and understood what the old butler wanted to say.

"You don't want me to see him again?"

The old butler didn't dare to take care of Yu She's affairs, and said in a low voice, "I just don't think it's necessary."

"No, it is necessary."

Yu She smiled playfully, "I said it today, dare to laugh, I will make him cry once, in a few days... I have to make him pay back."
