After the scum of the enemy prince, I got pregnant

The first time Ning Xu saw Li Rong was outside Hanliang Hall.

It was March when the peach blossoms were in full bloom in Chang'an, and the lake outside the hall was thawed and warm in spring. Ning Xu sat on a flat Taihu Lake stone, flipping through the "Zuoshi Chunqiu" in his hand, waiting. The third prince, who was about to end the hair-tying ceremony, came out of the palace. He paid his respects and went to the Hongwen Hall together.

The servants in the palace took the time to bring him in, so after a short wait, Ning Xu saw a young man with a sapphire ribbon on his head coming out of the palace.

Li Rong was taller than his peers, but his face, which had inherited Concubine Shu's good looks, was surprisingly wild.He seemed to know that a child from an aristocratic family would enter the palace as his companion reading today, so he looked around impatiently.Ning Xu was not discovered by Li Rong through the cover of flowers and trees, but the latter's obviously unfriendly expression fell into his eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and then did not show up immediately.

So this also gave him the opportunity to see the next scene——

A nanny who seemed to be in her fifties or sixties came out of the Hanliang Hall in a hurry, holding a book in her hand, and shouted "Third Prince!"

Li Rong turned his head, the expression on his face softened, and he responded obediently with a smile: "Yangma."

Ning Xu was amazed at how quickly his face changed.

Nanny Yang approached, put the book on Li Rong's back, and straightened his clothes, then asked: "Yun Xian'er, is the companion of the Ning family not here yet? Slave to send you to the Hongwen Museum first?"

Ning Xu was taken aback.

Yun Xianer?

Who is Yun Xian'er?

Li Rong snorted softly, and said two words in a low voice, but the distance was too far, what he said did not reach Ning Xu's ears, but the latter sentence was not heard, and it was clearly heard in the empty courtyard. sounded.

Yun Xian'er: "These children of aristocratic families who don't understand the rules really need repairing..."

The third prince.Li Rong.

Yun Xianer, Li Yunxian.

Ning Xu was quite shocked, no matter it was the name, or Li Rongfang's vicious tone of saying that he wanted to fix him.In his panic, the "Zuoshi Chunqiu" in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.The sound is not loud, but it is enough to attract the attention of outsiders.

"Who's there?!"

Seeing several people vigilantly walking towards his direction, Ning Xu made a very tragic decision - he immediately lay down on the Taihu Lake stone, closed his eyes and pretended to be in a deep sleep, But he listened carefully to the sound of footsteps stepping on the flower mud getting closer.

Ning Xu's heart was in his throat, and he could even feel Li Rong's scrutinizing and probing eyes wandering back and forth on him in the dark.After a long time, Li Rong seemed to believe his trick of pretending to sleep, he laughed and said the word again.It's just that Ning Xu heard it this time. These are very clear and very disdainful words:

"Dude."

It was Yang Na who "woke up" him.

As soon as Ning Xu opened his eyes, he saw Li Rong looking at him condescendingly, and asked:

"You are Ning Xu?"

Ning Xu bent down and picked up the soiled book, patted it, stuffed it back into the book, and then bowed to Li Rong,

"Exactly, from today onwards I will be your reading companion."

Li Rong frowned, seemed a little angry, and seemed to put on airs: "What about you, me, and me, didn't the Ning family tell you to be a minister to my highness?"

It is true that Master Ning never gave him any advice here, and Ning Xu had no dealings with the royal family before, a look of astonishment flashed across his face, but he was more or less aroused by the bossy attitude of the third prince Being a scholar, he simply picked up his books, straightened his body and said to Li Rong:

"Although people often say that 'acquire the art of culture and martial arts, you can be like the emperor's family', but the Ning family has been pure and pure ministers for generations. Naturally, they are only loyal to the saints and princes, and I only need to be a minister to them."

Li Rong's face sank, his eyelashes drooped quickly, but when he raised it again, he showed that disdainful and mocking expression again, and repeated on his mouth: "Qingliu Chunchen."

ridiculous.

Talking about a pure minister, it's just a matter of praising the high and trampling the low, and looking down on him, an unsupported prince.To put it bluntly, he entered the palace as a companion with the same intentions, wasn't it because he was rushing to cling to his powerful brothers, and wanted to take a share of the court in the future by taking advantage of the merits of Conglong?

The morning class that day was later than usual, and when the two of them entered the Hongwen Hall one by one, Du Xiang had already arrived.Ning Xu looked at the chief, and stopped abruptly.

Li Rong sneered again.

In a blink of an eye, the accompanying reader with eyes above the roof respectfully made a big gift to Du Xiang, and offered Shu Xiu, who had been carefully held in his hand all the way.

"Student Ning Xu pays a visit to the teacher."

Ningxu's Shuxiu followed the ancient etiquette of Confucius and Mencius, it was just a simple dried meat, but it made Du Xiang more comfortable than the treasures of the princes in the palace.

Du Xiang had obviously heard of Ning Xu's talent and fame in Chang'an.The only son of the Ning family of the Ministry of War, and the most intelligent student in the Imperial Academy, he entered the palace to accompany the third prince in order to worship under him.For the first time, the young teacher in the Hongwen Hall, who had always been serious about teaching, smiled and helped Ning Xu up from the ground. Although he didn't appreciate much, this courtesy was still noticed by others, and his taste changed immediately.

Li Rong frowned, adding one more thing to the impression of "praising the high and stepping down the low": fawning and flattering.

The third prince can't help but assume bad things about people he doesn't like.Although in the next few days, he gradually realized that Ning Xu's studies were really top-notch, whether it was homework or questions and answers in class, he had always been excellent.But at this moment, when he recalled his sentence that day "only be a minister to the sage and the prince", the third prince was very depressed; he also thought that Ning Xu would rush out of the palace every time after school, pretending to be indifferent to his Hanliang Palace. Hobby's lofty appearance annoyed him even more.

"Accompanying readers are also like you?"

Li Rong pointed to those aristocratic sons who followed the other princes and followed them cautiously and flatteringly. Looking at Ning Xu who was about to step out of the Hongwen Hall, he said, "I am looking for a book boy, or did I invite one?" uncle?"

Ning Xu didn't understand, so he asked, "What does the Third Highness think of me?"

"Be a competent book boy, and you will help His Highness write the homework in the future."

Ning Xu was stunned, and then scanned Li Rong up and down with a look of "not thinking about making progress", but asked, "What if the teacher sees it?"

Li Rong sneered and said: "The prince made a mistake, he should be punished as a companion. What do you think I chose you into the palace for?"

Ning Xu took a deep breath and asked again, "What if I don't write?"

Li Rong looked at him, with a hint of malice in his eyes: "I know, you despise my highness for being powerless in the palace; but even so, it is more than enough for me to repair a companion."

As he spoke, he leaned over and raised his hand to pinch a lock of Ning Xu's hair that fell on his shoulders, and finally forced out a little fear in the latter's eyes: "The son of the minister of the military department... If you don't agree, just try?"

After that day, Ning Xu had to write more homework every day, and Li Rong became even more unscrupulous after he tasted the sweetness. Therefore, when Ning Xu wrote from school until midnight, the candles in the room were always bright, which made Mr. Ning notice There is a clue.

"Xu'er, why have you been sleeping so late these days?"

Ning Xu's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and there were waste papers spread out on the table that couldn't copy Li Rong's handwriting, and there were only a few drops of ink on them but crumpled into balls.

"I……"

If Mr. Ning listened carefully, he could hear the choking behind the word.But Ning Xu calmed down quickly and didn't ask his father to delve into this matter:

"I don't know how to do the homework left by the teacher. I want to look at it again."

Du Xiangliu's homework is indeed difficult. If Li Rong were asked to write it himself, he would not be able to write anything.However, for five days in a row, the third prince with mediocre grades not only handed in his essays once and for all, but the content was even quite ingenious and well-founded. Extraordinary".

Du Xiang naturally saw it.

On the sixth day, he left a policy for the princes and grandchildren. It was a policy for governing the world that made hundreds of Gongsheng students in the Central Plains scratch their heads three years ago. Du Xiang really wanted to see if Ning Xu could do it this time. Nai wrote articles with completely different views in the handwriting of the two.

The clock chimed, and Li Rong waited a little impatiently. Seeing that Du Xiang was about to arrive, he couldn't help but glance towards the door.For the first time, a person who hadn't had enough sleep for several days came a moment later than usual, and his eyes were slightly black and blue.Seeing Li Rong, he just made a rough salute, and handed over the stack of papers in his hand.

He knew what Li Rong wanted, and he never talked to Li Rong too much.Ning Xu was so sleepy, he took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the booklet, then knelt down by the desk and closed his eyes.

Li Rong looked at him for a while, and finally frowned and turned his eyes away when Du Xiang entered the door.

The atmosphere in the Hongwen Museum is a bit dull today.

Du Xiang unhurriedly looked at the only policy theory in his hand, and everyone waited quietly and anxiously for Du Xiang, as if he had been reprimanded but did not stop.Only Li Rong didn't understand why, he lowered his head and played with a Langgui pen in his hand.

After a while, Du Xiang finally raised his head.

"Ning Xu, where's your theory?"

Ning Xu looked ashamed, stood up and bowed, and said: "This topic is too difficult, the students are not talented...I haven't written it yet."

Until the sound fell, Li Rong suddenly reacted and looked at Ning Xu in surprise.

He didn't write it?

Is this question difficult?

But just now Ning Xu clearly gave him that share...could it be written indiscriminately?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Du Xiang say, "It's okay, it's indeed a bit difficult. When I wrote the question yesterday, I didn't think you could write anything."

When everyone heard this, they were all relieved.

"It's the one in my hand..."

Only Li Rong raised his tone suddenly.

"The writing is quite insightful, with both writing and quality. Even if it is placed on top of the imperial examination back then, it is not bad." Du Xiang said, but looked at Ning Xu, "At least it is a second-class."

Li Rong was stunned for a moment, and looked at Ning Xu with deeper eyes, seeing Ning Xu's bird eyes light up, even though he restrained a few times, he still showed some surprise and pride.

Not scribbled.

Then... why did he drop my name?

Shouldn't such a good article show off in front of Du Xiang and his brothers?

The only sound left in the room was the sound of Du Xiang flipping through the pages.

"Li... Yunxian?" There was some hesitation in his tone, "Which Highness's name is this?"

Li Rong raised his head abruptly, and then looked at Ning Xu who was beside him in disbelief.And if you look carefully, you can see some shame and anger in his eyes.

Ning Xu was also terrified by the name, and even sobered up.

He didn't sleep all night, and after writing the last word this morning, he paid the money in a daze.So... he wrote about Li Yunxian?

He actually wrote about Li Yunxian? !

It's over - this is the only thought left in Ning Xu's mind.

Sure enough, after school, Li Rong dragged Ning Xu into the fake cave behind the Hongwen Hall with his lapel.

The place was dark and cramped, Ning Xu leaned against the cold stone wall with his back, not daring to look up at Li Rong's terribly gloomy face.

"This name has only been called by people around my Highness, how do you know?" But after asking, Li Rong seemed to know the answer immediately, and he answered it himself without the white-faced Ning Xu: "So that day in Outside the Hanliang Palace, you heard it, and then pretended to be asleep, lying to me?"

Li Rong was much taller than Ning Xu, and he patted the latter's shoulder with his hands.This is a repressive action with little respect, as if feeling the stiffness of his subordinates, Li Rong leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear:

"You'd better forget this name. If you call me again, I will..."

The Ning family has been scholarly for generations, Ning Xu Yushu Zhilan.These hairpin tassels are very well behaved, even after staying up all night, Ning Xu is still wearing amber-scented clothes, the faint fragrance is particularly obvious in this narrow space.

Li Rong's voice paused.

But this silence is even more frightening.

The distance between the two of them was too close, and the tip of Li Rong's nose almost touched his ear.Ning Xu swallowed, and didn't dare to move, he was really scared at this moment - the Ning family was not a clean stream, he didn't have a high-ranking father who could extend his hand to Daming Palace to protect him, on the contrary, those who were under the imperial power The person who protects him doesn't even need to do anything himself, there are countless ways to cut off his future official career.

If he couldn't figure it out in the past, then in the Hongwen Museum today, when Du Xiang said that his policy theory was worthy of a top two, he had such a strong urge for the first time. He wanted to become an official, wanted to Wearing a purple robe like a teacher, he stands on the golden hall and sets the way for the people.

He can't be folded in Li Rong's hands.

"Your Highness..." Ning Xu turned his head away, and for the first time, there was some pleading in his voice.

"It was my mistake. In the future... I will never call it wrong again."

Li Rong didn't expect him to give in so quickly, and he didn't think of how to threaten him this time.If Ning Xu hadn't been tilting his head at this time, he would have noticed a moment of bewilderment in the eyes of the Third Highness whose tone was still fierce just now.

After a while, Li Rong finally took a step back, and said in a cold and dry tone:

"It's good to know, get out."

……

After this incident, everything seemed to have not changed, and everything seemed to have changed.

Li Rong didn't ask Ning Xu to write articles for him anymore. Ning Xu was still the first diligent student to come to the Hongwen Library every day, but there was nothing else between the two of them except seeing the ceremony. relationship between.

In other words, it was Ning Xu who avoided Li Rong on purpose - he sat in the opposite corner from the adjacent seat, came early and left in a hurry; his eyes were not higher than the top, but trembling.Occasionally, when he felt the eyes of the third prince fall on him, he would unconsciously stiffen his body, and for the next half an hour he seemed to be on pins and needles...

It's just that the sky didn't work out, and as the days went by, Ning Xu found that the gaze behind him came more and more frequently, and stayed longer and longer.

Li Rong seldom cared about his studies, and it was rare for him not to stare at Ning Xu in class one day, but to draw a peach blossom on the rice paper with Lang Gui who was not familiar with him very seriously.

There is a peach blossom grove next to the water outside the Hanliang Hall. When I first saw Ning Xu, there were peach blossoms in full bloom in front of my eyes. He was sleeping soundly on the Taihu Lake stone by the clear water.But at that time, Li Rong didn't know that Ning Xu was pretending to be asleep, but suddenly thought of the phrase "the peach blossoms on the human face reflect the red".

Finally, it took an hour, the rouge dyed the last peach blossom, and when I looked up again, the Hongwen Museum was already empty.Li Rong quietly looked at the position Ning Xu had made just now, and after a while, he slowly put the pen and paper on the case together with the painting into the booklet, and slowly walked out of the Hongwen Hall.

After several days and nights that were neither salty nor dull, Concubine Shu suddenly asked Ning Xu during dinner.

"Why didn't your companion move into the Hanliang Hall?"

Li Rong accidentally bit the silver chopsticks, and his teeth ached.After a long while, he replied vaguely:

"He likes to live in his own house, and he doesn't need him to be around me after school."

The feelings of women in the harem are always keen, Concubine Shu immediately heard the clue from this sentence, and said solemnly:

"Yun Xian'er, you don't like this companion? If he's not good, mother will go..."

"Go and beg your father, give you another one."

Li Rong swallowed a mouthful of food tastelessly, and when he heard the words behind Concubine Shu, his heart suddenly twisted, "Don't go..."

He put his hand on Concubine Shu's back, and comforted him, "Ning Xu is fine."

It seems to be talking to Concubine Shu, and it seems to be talking to herself.

"I quite like it."

The next day at the Hongwen Museum, Li Rong arrived very early.Before the clock of Maoshi rang, he quickly stepped on the fallen peach petals on the ground and entered the gate, bringing in a ray of cool air in the morning.

His face was also cold, and his lips were drawn into a line unnaturally.

The Hongwen Hall was quiet, except for a young man in a green shirt sitting there. When he heard the movement behind him, he looked back subconsciously, and then turned back very quickly.

Seeing his obvious stiffness, Li Rong stood up and saluted him as if he had made up his mind after a while.

"Morning, Third Highness."

"Ning..." Li Rong walked towards him.

"It's too boring in the room, I'll go outside for a walk." Ning Xu said immediately, interrupting what Li Rong hadn't finished speaking.

In the room, it's too stuffy.

Li Rong subconsciously brought himself into this sentence, and couldn't help frowning.

"Who told you to hide from His Highness?"

The tone of this sentence was not good, and Ning Xu stopped abruptly.In this gap, he saw Li Rong walking towards him quickly, and repeated the sentence just now: "What are you doing away from me? You are my reading companion, and what you have said to me in a month is even worse than that." not on..."

"Not as much as you talk to yourself."

Ning Xu took a step back, but got stuck in the gap between the wall and the desk.With no way to retreat, he took a deep breath, raised his head suddenly, looked directly at Li Rong, and said:

"I didn't avoid the Third Highness, but I was afraid of saying the wrong thing again. I am your reading companion, and if you have anything to say, you can directly order it."

Li Rong was taken aback.

The long-lost amber fragrance lingered in his nostrils again.

"Forget it, I'll let you call me that." Li Rong looked at him, putting away that ironic and disdainful mask for the first time, "Is it okay if I let you call me that?"

"Ah... which name?"

Li Rong choked, a trace of uneasiness crossed his face.

"That's just... Li Yunxian."

"I told you to call me Yunxian, don't hide from me." After a pause, the voice suddenly dropped a little: "Hanliangdian, do you want to move in?"
