Lang Yi

The person under him has completely turned into a puddle of spring water, and Tian Zong allows himself to drink to his heart's content, before reluctantly pulling away.

After recovering his sanity, he became firmer in what he had just thought. Seeing that his long hair was messy and stuck to his face with sweat, he combed it with his hands and gently smoothed it out for him.After breathing for a while, he got up and put on his clothes and went to bed, but was stopped by Xinghe behind him like he was panicking.

Knowing that he was hurt by his abandonment and alienation before, Tian Zong felt guilty and distressed, so he patted his hand in relief, leaned over to kiss him, and explained gently: "I'm not leaving. You just... you are inconvenient at this time Go ahead, I'll get you some water and wash it off for you."

Ning Xinghe still didn't let him go, as if he wanted to show his strength in front of him and prove that he could move without hindrance, he immediately got up and went to bed: "My place is simple, and I have wronged His Highness; how can I let His Highness do anything, I will go and get it now." Come."

Tian Zong was about to stop him, but heard a soft sound outside the door, as if someone left something at the door, and then there was no movement again.The two looked at each other, and Ning Xinghe blushed: "It's...the sound of Hoshino's footsteps."

Although Tian Zong also blushed, he was calm: just now there was no restraint to cover up the noise in the house, although the sound of the rain was pouring and the courtyard was deep, but Ning Xingye, as the leader of the guards with strong skills and keen senses, couldn't fail to hear him.You have already made up your mind that you will not be far away from Xinghe in the future, so the first person you can't hide is Ning Xingye, so let him know.

Tianzong saw Xinghe stood up and put on his clothes, the thin robes were stained with sweat and stuck to his body, and he still stared at the lines of his muscles in a daze.He walked in immediately, put down the bathtub filled with hot water, and said shyly: "This is... Hoshino just left it outside the door; it seems that I can't hide it from him."

Tian Zong had already untied his knots, so he stopped suppressing himself, leaned against the bed rail and laughed at him: "What? You just knew that there were people outside the courtyard, but you still hugged me tightly and refused to let go, and now you are afraid that others will find out? "

Ning Xinghe was dumbfounded at first, but when he saw him smiling like this, he became even more infatuated and speechless.

The sound of the rain was rustling, and no one came.

After the two of them took a brief bath, Tian Zong loosened his hair and put on his clothes casually. Seeing a xylophone on the table beside him and a sheet of music scattered on the couch, he walked over to pick it up and flipped through it, laughing. : "Didn't you say you were sick? Why do you want to read the piano score for beginners now? Can you understand it?"

Ning Xinghe blushed and took down the clumsy piano score: "I just suffered from a minor illness, and I have already recovered. This piano score is me. I heard from Hoshino that Your Highness, you are playing the piano by the Qinglan River, and you have a lot of things on your mind. ;I thought that if I could learn to play the piano, I would be able to understand His Highness's mind. But I was born crude, and it was inconvenient to ask someone to teach me, so I just...think about it by myself."

"You are mine, why are you so rough?! Don't say that." Tian Zong pulled him to sit in front of the piano case, and walked behind him and sat down together, wrapped his shoulders around his shoulders, and wrapped his hands around his Putting his hands on the strings of the qin, he said with a smile: "So that's the case. Since you want to learn the qin, why do you need to find someone else? In terms of the attainments of the qin, is there anyone in Qingdu who can beat me?"

Ning Xinghe hurriedly raised his hand to prevent Tian Zong from touching the strings: "Your Highness has always been the most particular about playing the qin, and bathing and incense are considered the most basic; my place is already crude, not to mention that I just bought this xylophone randomly from a shop. Well, how did His Royal Highness come across such vulgar mortals?"

Tian Zong put his chin on his shoulder, rubbed his ears and temples together, rubbed the warm and greasy neck, and said with a low smile: "Bathing, I just took a bath; incense, you have the scent of soap locust on your body." Putting his hands on him On the back of his hand, he stretched out five fingers and ordered: "Come on, put your fingers on my hand one by one."

Ning Xinghe obediently did so clumsily, the two of them pressed their fingers together, and the four hands became a pair.

Tian Zong bent his fingers and slowly led him to pluck the strings up and down, and gradually played a simple tune with the sound of rain hitting the roof tiles outside.

The night is getting darker, and under the rainy night lights, this song is simple but melodious, expressing my heart directly.Occasionally, she turned her head and saw with satisfaction that the white porcelain-like earlobes of Xinghe were a little bit red under the cover of her hair.

Tian Zong smiled silently, rubbing the bridge of his nose up, picked the hair hanging on his shoulders behind his ears, then opened his mouth to put the soft earlobe into his mouth, and slowly sucked it; he still didn't think it was enough, so he bit it lightly between his teeth , studying the soft taste, sending his breath straight into his ear, thinking: I have completely broken the rules of playing the piano, sin, sin.

Even though he was thinking this way, he showed no sign of remorse, he didn't let go, and he didn't stop playing, letting Xinghe's breathing messed up and limp in his arms, he only tightly hooked his trembling fingers.

It wasn't until the end of the song that he was willing to let go of the earlobe and let go of the hands, deliberately not to see how attractive the person in his arms was at this time, but withdrew his hands, and moved slightly to the side to sit upright.

Listening to the sound of the rain gradually subsiding, I only felt infinite joy and completeness in my heart; a tune naturally appeared in my mind, so I raised my hand and played it with my fingers on this simple xylophone.

The strings of the xylophone were a little crooked, and the pitch was slightly off the mark, but Tian Zong didn't care; looking at the rainy scene in the courtyard, he remembered that today was Bailu, so he sent it out according to his feelings, and accompanied the rhyme of the qin, and murmured in a low voice: "One night Flowers and trees, a rain of autumn. How can it be like white dew, sprinkle clothes all the way."

Flicking his fingers on the piano, the sound of the piano is like flowing clouds and flowing water; Tian Zong has been looking out of the window, but he can feel the eyes of the people beside him stop on the side of his face without blinking, and the corners of his brows and mouth can't hide his smile.

At the end of the song, he pressed his hands on the strings, turned his head and looked into his eyes seriously: "Xinghe, it doesn't matter whether you can understand the sound of the piano or not - I will tell you clearly what I am thinking right now."

The eyes staring at him obsessively in front of him were as clear as a spring and as bright as a crescent moon. Tian Zong took a light breath and said calmly, "Xinghe, I love you."

Ning Xinghe was completely stunned. After a while, he still seemed unable to believe what he just said, trembling his lips: "Your Highness, what did you say?"

Tian Zong propped his arms on the couch, leaned back, changed into a comfortable sitting position, and said with a smile: "You are not an honest person, you clearly heard clearly, and you want me to say it again?"

Ning Xinghe bit his lip, with tears in his eyes, he suddenly rushed over and hugged him tightly: "Your Highness, tell me one more time! Say such good words a few more times!"

Probably because of excitement, he didn't restrain himself this time, Tianzong was thrown on the couch by him, laughing and trying to speak, but he felt a heat on his cheek, and a tear fell on his face.

Ning Xinghe kissed overwhelmingly, and the two rolled into a ball on the narrow couch.

Tian Zong saw that his tears kept flowing like a bank burst, so he caressed his cheek and teased deliberately: "Now I'm getting weaker and weaker, I used to be fine with a broken rib, now I'm crying like this at this level? Did I hurt you? If you can't stand it, why don't we restrain ourselves today." As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and pretended to get up.

But where can we get up?Under the dim light, Ning Xinghe's face was as red as a peach blossom, and he looked at him half annoyed and half sad; there were still tears in the corners of his eyes, although he couldn't say a word in embarrassment, he clung to him tightly, The arms that encircled him were full of strength, but his body was soft into a ball of cotton that he could manipulate.

Tian Zong leaned over and had a panoramic view of everything about him, with all kinds of warm tenderness in his heart.Holding him in her arms, pressing him firmly against her heart, entering into the deepest part of him, biting his earlobe, and saying to him one by one: "Xinghe, I love you, love you..."

Feiyu didn't know when it stopped, and the long night didn't know when it came to an end.

*****

He didn't sleep much last night, but fortunately there were not many important matters in court today, so Tian Zong tried his best to listen to the courtiers' discussions.

The subject of today's discussion is the upcoming imperial examination this year.

Each imperial examination has its own old rules and regulations, and the rest of the trivial arrangements are not worth his trouble to listen to. He was suppressing his recollection of last night's scene, so he heard the emperor on the throne say: "Prince, although you are young and inexperienced, you are selected Talent is the country's great plan, this time you will follow them to review the test papers and learn how to select talents."

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere of the court changed.It must be known that imperial examinations have always been a battleground for various families, and the royal family did not intervene at all, allowing each family to show off their magical skills, support their own forces, and attract new talents.Now, the crown prince wants to get in the way?

Tian Zong immediately responded with a straight face: "I understand, and I will treat it seriously."

With the crown prince reviewing the examination papers, the candidates selected by him this time will be counted as the prince's disciples, so he naturally understands the emperor's intentions.

After all, the big scandal has lasted for hundreds of years, and the aristocratic families among them have also experienced ups and downs, and have experienced wind and rain; the aristocratic families that can still stand in Qingdu today, if they are not superior in strength, or become cunning like finesse, and They were so intertwined that they almost filled the entire court.

To be a monarch above them requires extraordinary wisdom and means, which is easier said than done!If there is no superb strategy game method, it can be said that it is everywhere, and it is completely impossible to make any results according to one's own ideas.However, as an ancient royal family, they have already accumulated profound wisdom and experience in controlling courtiers; however, it is a pity that Tian Zong, as the second son, has not learned these profound tactics of checks and balances since he was a child, and now he is suddenly promoted to the crown prince. position, had to start from scratch.

His personality is not as deep and stable as Tianci's. Although the emperor is on the side to give advice, but whenever he is unable to do what he wants, he can't hold back when he looks at the impenetrable faces of those old guys.After so many game confrontations, they gradually lost the wind.The emperor saw it in his eyes, so he broke the convention and handed over the power of selecting talents this time, so that he could have the opportunity to cultivate his own power in the court.

Tian Zong summoned all his energy and began to prepare.

During the day, I was thinking about the imperial examinations, and when I returned to the dormitory to take a bath at night, I realized that I was in a hurry when I woke up this morning, and I was wearing Xinghe's middle coat; People are still entangled and hugged each other, and my heart can't help itching.It's just that this time I was busy returning to the palace to change clothes, and I left in a hurry without saying goodbye, so I understand why the world always complains that the spring night is short.

The author has something to say:

"How can it be like white dew, sprinkle your clothes all the way." ——From "Ancient Farewell", the whole poem reads: "At sunset, the west wind blows and tears fly away. It can be like white dew, sprinkle your clothes all the way."
