Adore me Lingfeng

Chapter 58 Domestication

Zhao Shu was in a daze, and Mu Junjie competed for two more rounds.Lin Xuxing simply arranged the wine glasses upside down in a row, and asked Zheng Kai to spread out all the questions, one by one under the upside-down wine glasses.

Opening a wine glass is a problem, and when the glass of wine is filled with a wine jug, verses also blurt out from the mouths of the two of them.

snow.

"The wind is light and the clouds are dark, and the sky is full of stars embellished with bright gold. Candle dragons are shining and baking the remaining snow, and I am not satisfied tonight."

"Xuewu Qiongzhang listens to the wind, and sits in the rivers and lakes to decide the file. Qiankun is alone in singing and singing, and Yun can't bear the singing."

kill.

"The key kills the enemy's formation, and the clouds and horizontal lines, and cleans the Tianhe to wash away the armored soldiers. The gold and iron horses are broken, and I still remember the peace through the window."

"Taixu hangs the sword and tells the gossip, and the stars and electric coils will not be collected at night. The fierce shooting fights the cold light, and the freedom to kill and live."

Aspiration.

"..."

"..."

The two of them wrote one poem after another heartily, and the onlookers were overwhelmed by what they heard. They had already changed from amazed to stunned. The person in charge of transcribing often only had time to write down the first half of each poem before dipping it in. Mo, just heard the next song and it came out again.

Unaware of other people's amazement, the two of them seemed to be having a good time.

It's not wrong to use the word 'play' to describe it. The two didn't mean to compete in any way, they just expressed their feelings purely and freely.And through each other's verses, they seem to have more or less peeped into each other's heart.

After all the questions were checked, Mu Junjie and Lin Xuxing raised their heads and looked at each other, and the corners of their lips curled up in an unclear manner.

Mu Junjie didn't expect that since Lin Xuxing chose to become an official, he would have a heart of recluse and world-weary.Lin Xuxing couldn't figure out that Mu Junjie's temperament was so cold and hard at such a young age, his heart was higher than the sky, he was decisive and merciless.

clap clap-

Applause suddenly sounded from behind, and a middle-aged man's voice came: "Xin Ke civil and military champion is really amazing, fortunately I came here by coincidence, otherwise I would not have heard such wonderful poems."

As soon as the sound came out, everyone was startled, and hurriedly gave way, making preparations to greet His Majesty.Emperor Renzong approached slowly, and Mu Junjie turned his head, facing Emperor Renzong's face directly.

This look, but suddenly froze.Even when almost everyone around him knelt down, Mu Junjie still didn't react.

"Bold!" The eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward and said, "How dare you offend Tianyan, you..."

"It doesn't matter." Emperor Renzong interrupted the eunuch's words, he didn't care about Mu Junjie's rudeness, but raised his hand and ordered the eunuch to retreat.

Mu Junjie lowered his head and knelt down slowly: "Student Yan Mu, I pay my respects to Your Majesty, please punish me."

He kowtowed lightly, his forehead touched the flat stone slab, and the cold touch made Mu Junjie clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve even tighter.

Emperor Renzong looks very similar to his father! !

The moment he saw Emperor Renzong, Mu Junjie almost mistook him, his nose was sour, and he almost blurted out the words "Daddy". The 40-year-old man looks generous and introverted. His skin has obvious wrinkles after years of wear and tear. From face to lip shape, he is almost the same as his father. The only difference is his eyes. His father's eyes are free and unrestrained. Emperor Renzong was dark and complex, exhausted and old.

"Get up, I forgive you for your innocence." Emperor Renzong looked at the young man who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a gentle tone: "Everyone who loves you should also be flattened, and you don't need to be too polite."

Everyone stood up one after another, but Emperor Renzong frowned slightly, thinking about the gaze that the young man had just looked at him.

Not because Mu Junjie was the first person who dared to look directly at Tianyan, but because when his eyes fell on him, he seemed to be looking at him, but he was not looking at him.That kind of deep and trance eyes, with obvious admiration, seems to be thinking of another person and the distant past a long time ago through him.There are deep nostalgia and traces of sadness hidden in the boy's big and bright eyes.

How is this going?Emperor Renzong, who has always been tolerant and magnanimous, was puzzled, and was shocked by the look in his eyes.For Mu Junjie, Emperor Renzong would inexplicably feel an indescribable love and closeness, and even couldn't help but feel the same love and tolerance as he treats his own children.

There are countless concubines in the harem, but Emperor Renzong has always been childless. The only prince in name, Zhao Shu, is only adopted from his cousin.When thinking of this, Emperor Renzong looked at Mu Junjie again, the boy's facial features gave him an unusually familiar feeling, and his thoughts could not help but drift away.If he had a child, or if he kept the child that Concubine Miao Gui gave birth to, it should be about the same age as Mu Junjie, right?If you put him by your side and teach him carefully, will he still be so good, be astonishingly talented before the weaker champions, win the first prize in Wudang, and be well-known in Wendang?

Emperor Renzong had already sat on the main seat, and the time of You has arrived, and the banquet officially began.After saluting, everyone sat down on the left and right according to their status. The north head is the honor, and the emperor sitting on the highest floor is naturally the emperor. It is other civil and military officials.

Exquisite dishes had been placed on the magnificent long table, and the eunuchs and court ladies shuttled through it holding trays. The dishes in front of everyone's eyes were very rich, without any bias.And from the moment Mu Junjie sat down, he was keenly aware that there were four eyes looking at him.

One is Emperor Renzong, who occasionally glances at him vaguely, but people can't ignore them.Mu Junjie lowered his head and lowered his eyes, as if he didn't know it at all.

The second is Zhao Conggu, the king of Anjun who had met in Lefang. His eyes were full of inquiry and consideration, but Mu Junjie directly ignored him.

There is also Zhao Shu, sitting alone on the second floor next to Emperor Renzong, looking at Mu Junjie like misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, warm and soft, with the scorching heat of the sun in May.

And Zhao Zongzhi, who was conferred the title of Ningjun King just after the crowning ceremony at the beginning of the year, sat on the same floor as Zhao Conggu. From the moment he stepped into the Qionglin Banquet and saw Mu Junjie, his eyes stopped on Mu Junjie. The body never left.

His eyes were scorching, like a fire burning a prairie fire, and it was impossible for others to ignore it.

Mu Junjie took a sip of wine, collected himself, first raised his head to look at Zhao Shu in the distance, and slightly raised the corners of his lips towards him.

— Thirteen, long time no see, how are you?

Zhao Shu's gaze was as gentle as ever, and the corners of his lips were also slowly raised towards Mu Junjie.It is definitely not a mask-like smile on weekdays. The smile is especially elegant and handsome because it comes from the heart.

--I am fine.I just miss and worry about you very much, and besides...

Lovesickness is hard to say, I don't know where to start.

it is more than words.

Mu Junjie put down his wine glass, then turned to Zhao Zongzhi silently, raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of teasing in his smile.

—— Mu Mu, long time no see, do you miss Senior Brother?

Zhao Zongzhi's expression didn't change at all, he still kept his original sitting posture motionless and stared at Mu Junjie.

Zhao Zongzhi's title of "King of Cold Hades" has a long history in Kyoto, and even his sitting posture carries an inviolable coldness that no strangers should enter.But since Zhao Zongzhi appeared, even the powerful left prime minister hurriedly came to say hello, and put his hot face on his cold butt at the risk of being frozen.

There are people in this world who don't need words and actions, but can still make people feel powerful and eye-catching.

Mu Junjie pouted secretly.Why has it been two years since the facial paralysis of this wood has not been cured, and it is even getting more serious!Even if you don't regard him as a friend, at least you are an acquaintance, won't you just smile and say hello like Zhao Shu?

But when Mu Junjie met Zhao Zongzhi's eyes, he was suddenly taken aback.

In those dark eyes loomed deep and shallow flickering and intertwined complex lights and shadows, waving and struggling like knives or trapped beasts, almost cutting his pupils, and even his entire body.

Mu Junjie couldn't read Zhao Zongzhi's eyes at all, but he could feel the most intuitive pain and anger floating on the surface.

The boy's eyes immediately became a little confused, and he frowned slightly.

—Wood, are you angry?

--why are you mad?

——But I never owed you money...

Under the eyes of Emperor Renzong, Mu Junjie didn't dare to rest his gaze on Zhao Zongzhi for too long, so he quickly retracted it.

To put it bluntly, the Qionglin Banquet means that the emperor and the newly promoted civil and military top three get to know each other better in a relatively relaxed environment, gossiping about family affairs, examining and inspecting their ability, and then they are appointed as officials in the Golden Palace the next day.After praising Lin Xuxing, the champion of literature, Emperor Renzong turned the topic to Mu Junjie: "Although the champion of martial arts is young, he is both civil and military, and has a dignified appearance. It is really a blessing for my dynasty."

"Your majesty's reputation is vast, and his blessings are universal. The students are just a fluke for a while. There is no word in words, no meritorious deeds in martial arts, and your majesty's merits will last forever, which is the blessing of the people."

The young man's voice hit like ice jade, clear and sweet.Emperor Renzong's words have clearly revealed his love for Mu Junjie, "It is rare to be so humble and honest at Yan Qing's age, not to be arrogant about his talents. Now that he has won the number one scholar, what do you think about becoming an official in the court?"

"Students don't have any ideas, as long as they can do what they can."

"Okay," Emperor Renzong said again with a smile on his face, "Yan Qing hasn't written yet, right?"

The name is based on the orthodox style, and the characters are based on virtue.According to the etiquette of the dynasty, men who reach their twenties can tie their hair and add a crown, and the elders will pick their characters, but many of them picked it up when they were younger.Seeing that Mu Junjie answered yes, Emperor Renzong said: "Since Yan Qing has entered the court as an official, it's okay if you don't have characters. Why don't you let me get the characters?"

"Students thank His Majesty Ron."

Emperor Renzong thought for a long time, "Let's call him Junjie. A gentleman is virtuous, and Jie can establish the world."

Everyone was taken aback.Mu Junjie was horrified that it overlapped with his own name, but others were surprised by Emperor Renzong's tone.The word Jie also has the meaning of being equal, and giving the name Junjie, does it mean that in the future, he will be the crown of all officials and will be with the king?

After drinking for three rounds, the night was dark and the banquet was finally over.Mu Junjie and Baiguan left the palace together, neither riding a horse nor taking a sedan chair, but walking slowly on the street alone.

Emperor Renzong had a gentle and mediocre personality. Although there was nothing wrong with ruling the world with benevolence, in Mu Junjie's view, he was incompetent.After many years of being the emperor, he was unable to change the situation in which the queen mother's relatives were in power. Not only did he fail to hold on to the real power, but he also attracted the eyes of neighboring countries, and the entire ruling and opposition parties were in jeopardy.

But even so, after all, Emperor Renzong had been a monarch for so many years, so he should not be underestimated.Mu Junjie narrowed his eyes slightly, wondering whether it was a coincidence or a temptation when Emperor Renzong gave him the word Junjie?

After thinking about it, I realized that I was going the wrong way again.

In the past two years, Mu Junjie has experienced growth and transformation in all aspects, only the two problems of Lu Chi and anorexia have not been good.Mu Junjie sighed and stopped.

At the same time, it felt that someone who was tens of meters away also stopped.

Mu Junjie's current internal strength has been on par with Zhao Zongzhi, or even better, and he can clearly hear the movements of a hundred miles away, and he immediately frowned.

This log has been following him since the end of the banquet, followed him all the way out of the palace and into the streets and alleys, but he never said a word or showed up, what do you want? !

Mu Junjie turned around, ready to turn around and exit the wrong alley.It seemed that he didn't see the road under his feet clearly, and when he turned around, he staggered, and he was about to fall to the ground.

At the same time, a black figure rushed over at the fastest speed like lightning, firmly protecting the young man's slender body in his arms.

Instead of falling on the cold and hard slate, he fell into a warm and generous embrace.Being hugged tightly by Zhao Zongzhi, Mu Junjie wondered inwardly,——he originally wanted to force Zhao Zongzhi to show up by pretending to be injured by such a cruel trick, but why did Zhao Zongzhi suddenly show up automatically before the bitter trick was used?

"Wood?" Mu Junjie pretended to be surprised, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Zongzhi kept his face sullen and said nothing, but the hands around Mu Junjie's waist were trembling barely visible.

Mu Junjie left Zhao Zongzhi's arms and stood up by himself, feeling the haze emanating from Zhao Zongzhi's body, and thinking of his eyes at the banquet before, "Are you angry?"

Zhao Zongzhi said nothing.

"why are you mad?"

He stared fixedly at Mu Junjie, but the man remained silent.

why are you mad?

I think back to when I was digging rocks with my bare hands, when I stayed in Luoyang to search for people paranoidly, when I just saw a similar figure on the street and chased after him crazily...

I'm afraid he will never be as embarrassed as he was then in his life.

He was mad at him for making himself so embarrassed.

He was angry that he had disturbed his heart.

He was angry that he changed himself so that he would no longer be the original Zhao Zongzhi.

But at the end of her anger, she couldn't bear to blame him even the slightest bit, let alone any unhappiness from him.

That lovesickness has been engraved in his bones with the passage of time. After two years, when he faced the glass-like eyes of the young man again, he was even more powerless to resist, and he was defeated in an instant.

Zhao Zongzhi remained silent all the time, and Mu Junjie also lost his patience a little, and raised his head: "Wood, what on earth are you..."

Before he finished speaking, he couldn't help but gradually silenced.Because at the moment when the four eyes met, Mu Junjie saw Zhao Zongzhi's dark eyes were as deep as the sea, as if he wanted to suck his soul into them.

Mu Junjie couldn't help being slightly taken aback, but at this moment, Zhao Zongzhi turned around.The hem of Fanli's dress embroidered with cloud and water patterns is so wide and big that it almost hangs on the ground, drawing a beautiful half arc at the moment of turning around.

The man then knelt down on one knee, leaving Mu Junjie with a generous back and two words without any ups and downs: "Come up."

"what?"

Only then did Mu Junjie realize that after walking for so long, his feet were so sore that he could hardly walk anymore.Immediately follow the good advice and quickly lie on Zhao Zongzhi's back.

Steadily carried the young man on his back, his light weight made Zhao Zongzhi slightly frowned, "Where are you going?"

"The strict house in Suzaku Lane in the south of the city." Lu Chi hurriedly reported the address.

Being carried comfortably, Mu Junjie finally realized his conscience, "Wu Mu, the reason why you are angry is not because I left without saying goodbye, right?"

The pain and lovesickness for two full years were just words of leaving without saying goodbye in the other party's mouth. Zhao Zongzhi tightened his arms around Mu Junjie's legs, but he still didn't say a word.

"Wood, don't be angry..."

The pleasant voice rang in the ear, and the light exhalation was sprinkled on the back of the neck. His drooping hair was scattered with his own hair, and all of this was real, not a dream. For some reason, Zhao Zongzhi suddenly A piece of tenderness, "I'm not angry."

"I know you're just angry." Mu Junjie put his arms around Zhao Zongzhi's neck, and moved restlessly, "I also know that as a friend, leaving without saying goodbye may make you a little worried, but I'm not On purpose, don't be angry again, okay?"

possible?Worry?Zhao Zongzhi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing the myriad of clues in them.How could it be 'possible', and how could there be only 'worry'!

But Mu Junjie just said softly, "Okay?" It seemed that all the beasts that collided in his heart were caught in an instant, and Zhao Zongzhi, like a domesticated wolf king, had completely softened.

"I'll never be mad at you."

"Really?"

"real."

In the deep and silent alley, time seems to slow down quietly.

Arriving at the Yan Mansion, ignoring the surprised gazes of Yan Hengyi and the old housekeeper, Zhao Zongzhi kept carrying Mu Junjie to the bed in the bedroom.Tired all day, Mu Junjie had already started to doze off, and he said to Zhao Zongzhi in a daze, "Mu, I'm sleepy, it's late, you should go back."

Zhao Zongzhi was indifferent, but frightened away the servants who came to serve Mu Junjie to bed with a cold aura, and then took off his boots and coat for Mu Junjie himself.

Served by the majestic Prince Ning personally, Mu Junjie frowned, "Wu Mu, you should go back."

Zhao Zongzhi remained indifferent.Mu Junjie shrunk into the bed, already sleepy, and had nothing to do with the silent log in front of him, "Aren't you going back?

Without saying a word, Zhao Zongzhi stretched out his hand to help Mu Junjie tuck the quilt a little bit.

"Forget it, anyway, there are several guest rooms, so you can stay here tonight." Without time to spend any more time with Zhao Zongzhi, Mu Junjie ordered the servant in the distance: "Go and ask someone to tidy up the left wing room again. Take the guests there."

Zhao Zongzhi finally left the house, but he did not go to the left wing with his servants, but stood motionless outside Mu Junjie's door.The man's slender and tall figure is like a sculpture, his eyes cast in the void, as deep as water.

Until Mu Junjie fell asleep completely, Zhao Zongzhi walked into the room again without a sound.

Carefully sitting on the edge of the bed, quietly staring at Mu Junjie's sleeping face, Zhao Zongzhi himself didn't know how soft his expression was at the moment.Looking at it, I couldn't help stretching out my hand to trace Mu Junjie's eyebrows and eyes from the air.

Zhao Zongzhi sat like this all night.

The heart that had been empty for two years finally found peace this night.
