bamboo horse prince

Yang Nian walked out of the palace gate sullenly, and happened to run into Li Sheng who had just switched defenses, and immediately ran over, wrapped his arms around Li Sheng's neck, and dragged him down, "Don't say hello if you see the young master!"

Li Sheng broke free from him with a little effort, "How can I have your sharp eyes, and I can finally enter the palace?"

"No, I went with my father," Yang Nian just felt complacent, then thought of what he had just talked about, and suddenly asked, "Li Sheng, do you have any sweethearts?"

Li Sheng was stunned for a moment, "What are you asking?"

"I heard that when you are on patrol now, many girls throw flowers and love letters at you."

"That's an exaggeration, but two or three."

"Sure enough!" Yang Nian's eyes widened, making Li Sheng feel guilty for no reason, "I've already taken a fancy to you, you're just faster than me."

"I'm not only taller than you." Li Sheng pointed out.

"Tsk, shameless, you can't learn better in the barracks."

Li Sheng was still thinking about some joking words, but he saw that Yang Nian no longer had a teasing look on his face, but looked at himself seriously and said, "If you have a sweetheart, you must tell me."

Li Sheng nodded in confusion.

Yang Nian looked at Li Sheng, his throat tightened for no reason, and he said nonsense, "Have you neglected to practice these days, look at your muscles and bones are loose."

"Are you going to the master's place?" Li Sheng also cooperated with him and changed the subject, "I just happen to be going back to the camp, so it's a drop in, let's go together."

Yang Nian thought about it, did he make a statement by saying this? If Li Sheng really had a loved one, he would help Li Sheng no matter what. half a lifetime.

"What are you doing in the palace today, the Queen Mother is bothering you?"

"No, the emperor asked me to take charge of the defense of the imperial examination."

Yang Nian patted Li Sheng's shoulder vigorously, "My boy, are you finally getting your head around it?"

"This is the job of the deputy commander." Li Sheng pulled Yang Nian's hand off his shoulders, "You didn't please me in advance."

"I'm stupid for you to be a young master. You're just a defense officer. What's the use of standing under the sun and waiting stupidly."

Li Sheng thought for a while, "You are right."

Yang Nian laughed loudly, and put his hand on Li Sheng's shoulder again, but Li Sheng didn't push it away this time.

Li Sheng sent Yang Nian to Ren's mansion, saluted General Ren, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then left, leaving Yang Nian and Ren Xiaoxiao to practice hard on the horse stance under Gu Huai.

"Little girl, you can be regarded as a childhood sweetheart with Li Sheng."

"Who is the little girl!" Ren Xiaoxiao's voice shook the sky.

"Okay, you are a big girl."

"Does it count? But I am indeed the only girl in the barracks who is the same age as Brother Sheng."

"Ah, but with your temper, Li Sheng is unlikely to be with you." Yang Nian laughed, trying to tease her.

Ren Xiaoxiao didn't react at first, but after thinking about it, she heard the meaning of Yang Nian's words, and stretched out her foot to trip Yang Nian.

Yang Nian's sharp eyes jumped away immediately, just as the incense in the censer had burned out, he sat on the chair with both feet, and leaned his neck forward, "Could it be that you like Li Sheng?"

"Do you still like a stupid scholar like you who has no power to restrain a chicken?" Ren Xiaoxiao didn't look into Yang Nian's eyes, turned around and belittled Yang Nian as usual.

"Sure enough, you girl misses Li Sheng!"

"When did I say yes!"

"I see you have it!"

"no!"

"You! Hey!" Yang Nian was suddenly discouraged. It's really not interesting for him to be pretentious with the little girl repeatedly. He still felt awkward about Li Sheng's upcoming marriage, "Forget it, it's almost time. gone."

Ren Xiaoxiao felt that she was too presumptuous, a little embarrassed, stood up, and asked timidly, "Shall we have dinner together?"

"No," Yang Nian replied and left dejectedly.

Ren Xiaoxiao chased after Yang Nian, without waiting for him to turn around, her hands were tightly clenched in her cuffs as she was about to wave goodbye.

Yang Nian fell on the bed straight at home, Yao'er thought he was tired from practicing martial arts, so she hurriedly made a plate of dim sum from the kitchen, "Master, do you want to try it?"

Yang Nian shook his head and buried his face in the pillow.

"If you're so tired, don't practice." Yao'er sat on the side of the bed, clenching her fists and beating Yang Nian's back with small strength, helping him massage, "I'm going to take the imperial examination in a few days, so I can't waste any more time." .”

"Well, point to the left." Yang Nian muffled.

"A few days ago, my sisters and I went to ask for an amulet for you. I embroidered it in your underwear."

"Ah."

Yao'er saw that Yang Nian was not in a good mood, so she had to think of some recent interesting things to make him happy, "You don't know, Yue'er in the back room went to help the county prince's mansion a few days ago, seeing the county prince himself, every day after coming back Looking at your epee, I am crazy."

Unexpectedly, these words really hit Yang Nian, he turned his head, looked at Yao'er, and asked, "Why is this girl all of a sudden turning around him?"

"No," Yao'er began to serve Yang Nian since she was sensible, and after understanding Yang Nian's temper, she knew that Yang Nian's expression was just unhappy, so she thought he was jealous, "There are many people who are obsessed with the young master."

Yang Nian stopped answering the conversation, half-closed his eyes, and listened to Yao'er whispering some gossip in the courtyard to her, the resentment in his heart gradually eased, "Yao'er, if you are betrothed to someone who doesn't like what do you think?"

"Master, are you chasing me?" Yao'er was inexplicable when she heard this.

"Of course not," Yang Nian hastily denied, "I'm just curious about it."

"Everyone has their own blessing," Yao'er rubbed Yang Nian's calf lightly with the heel of her hand, "There are so many things in this world where two people are in love with each other, not to mention, back then I envied the young lady and the emperor the most, but now no..."

"..."

"I think people who I don't like may be able to get along well and treat each other like guests. Since God has arranged this person for me, no matter whether it's joy or sorrow, I will always live. Fate." Yao'er was lost in thought, and turned around Hua Feng, "But if you have the opportunity to be with someone you like, even those people say that you will be a couple for life, it is indeed a blessing."

"You little girl still has such thoughts," Yang Nian chuckled, "If you fall in love with any boy in the future, the young master will definitely decide for you."

"That's a deal," Yao'er laughed along with him, "I'll just count on the young master to be my matchmaker."

"Well, it's decided. I feel a little hungry if I don't worry about it. Bring that white sugar cake."

"Hey." Yao'er replied.
