The Way of the Consort

The moonlight was very good that night, and a crescent crescent hung on the treetop. Before Ji Zhao returned to the house, Zong Zhen had stood outside the window and waited for a long time. Fortunately, the moonlight was very beautiful, but he was not bored. The long-awaited moonscape.

After seeing Ji Zhao, Zong Zhen discovered that there were three crescent moons tonight.

The other two were on Ji Zhao's face.

Ji Zhao really couldn't see his eyes or teeth when he smiled, because he smiled so that the corners of his mouth were completely upturned, forming a perfect arc, and Zong Zhen couldn't help but smiled faintly along with him.

On a night in early summer, he stood in the moonlight in a snow-green uniform, like a fairy about to fly to the moon.

Ji Zhao just felt that he couldn't even look at them. He knew that Huishang's brother was good-looking, but everyone was a man, and he wouldn't go out of his way to stare at their faces. At this moment, people just stood there like this In front of you, how do you really look at it, how beautiful it is!

Zong Zhen was seen, and couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at..."

"Look at you, look at you, you are so pretty!" Ji Zhao immediately began to praise.

"..." The compliment made Zongzhen suddenly speechless again.

Ji Zhao had already asked sweetly: "Brother, did you come to find me specially?! How do you know that I'm going to rest at this inn tonight? When did you come?!"

Zong Zhen was in a good mood, and said patiently: "You write so many letters, you will tell me wherever you go, it's easy to deduce."

"Since you know that I have written you so many letters, why don't you write me one more time?" Ji Zhao was dissatisfied, curling his lips slightly.

Zong Zhen saw him lying on the window sill, with the moonlight as his clothes, the tree shadows as gauze, his eyes like stars, real and illusory, the ghosts in the book of ghosts, probably like this?

Ji Zhao stretched out two fingers again, waved in front of his eyes, and said, "Two letters! I wrote two letters! Add up to two sentences!"

Zong Zhen twitched the corners of his mouth, but said nothing, Ji Zhao lowered his head forcefully: "Okay, I lost, you won, it's really hard for you to say a few more words!" Zong Zhen thought he was upset, Ji Zhao raised his head again, and asked happily, "Then what's your business coming here to find me?"

"You will know when you come out."

"Is there really something wrong?! You tell me first!"

Zong Zhen didn't want to say, Ji Zhao climbed out of the window directly, not to mention Chen Xing was startled, Zong Zhen was even more frightened.

Zongzhen is the crown prince. He lives in the palace and has perfect etiquette since he was a child. Only people around him are more polite than him. It was the first time he saw someone who dared to do such a thing in front of him. This person was Ji Zhao .

Ji Zhao had zero experience in climbing windows, slipped on his feet, and almost broke his waist. Just as Chen Xing was about to rush over, Zong Zhen had already reached out to hold his waist, and carried him out of the window.

He smiled smugly, and reached out to hug Zongzhen.

Ji Zhao didn't think too much, and expressed his gratitude to his good friend, so what if he hugged him?All are men.

Zong Zhen remembered that Ji Zhao climbed the wall last time, so compared to this, climbing windows doesn't seem to be a big deal?He really didn't know what happened to Ji Zhao in this life, and he didn't realize that Ji Zhao's hand was still around his waist.

Letting Ji Zhao hug his waist, Zong Zhen turned cold and began to teach him again: "Climbing walls and windows, is this something a gentleman can do?"

Ji Zhao wondered, "I'm not a gentleman in the first place."

"Are you still right?"

Ji Zhao was not happy, and immediately left his waist with both hands: "Why do you have to teach people when you just meet, you are a businessman, not a teacher."

Zong Zhen saw that he dared not listen to the advice and wanted to run away, so he pulled his hand back again, and said more severely, "You are a son-in-law, this action will hinder your status, you—"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong!" Ji Zhao went to break his hand, begging for mercy with a smile, Zong Zhen was unmoved, he simply held Zong Zhen's hand with his backhand and walked out, "Let's go! Take me to see, what are you going to show me!" Ji Zhao was eager to try, "Is it fireworks again?!"

As he spoke, he looked back at Zong Zhen, his eyes became brighter.

When it comes to playing, Zong Zhen shakes his head helplessly, letting him drag him forward.

Ji Zhao was led by Zongzhen out from the back door of the post house, and got into the carriage parked by the door. Chen Xing wanted to follow, but was stopped by Zong Zhen's entourage. Chen Xing rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start scolding , Ji Zhao poked his head out of the carriage with a smile: "It's okay, you and the guard brother borrow a horse to ride, we will come back after playing for a while, and we won't be found!"

Chen Xing had no choice but to follow suit. The man had already come out, so what else could he do?

Ji Zhao counted back: "One, two, three—you came out with so many carriages? Huizhou merchants are rich."

Zong Zhen stretched out his hand to snap his head back, and said displeasedly: "The carriage is moving, don't look around blindly."

Ji Zhaoben wanted to say that he was troublesome, but when he heard about the carriage, he immediately complained: "I'm going back to Guizhou, it's terrible, you should have heard about it? I was surrounded by bandits! Actually, those bandits are not It's scary, I didn't think I was really going to kill me, I just wanted to scare people, this involves the internal struggle of Prince Zheng's mansion, it has nothing to do with me, there is nothing to talk about, the bandits didn't do anything to me, I even stabbed one person several times Where's the knife!"

Ji Zhaoyue became more excited as he spoke, and stretched out his hand to make gestures. Zong Zhen looked at him and listened to him.

"Later, someone stabbed my horse, and the horse went crazy, pulling the carriage around hard, and I don't know how many times I turned around... My eyes are full of gold stars, the real eyes are full of gold stars! It slowed me down a lot Days are good! I don’t want to eat anything in those days!”

Zong Zhen felt distressed in his eyes, but luckily the night was too late and the car was too dark, no one saw it, including himself.

Ji Zhao was still talking: "Scrape the house, haven't you seen it? To be honest, I feel really uncomfortable. This time, the Guo family also came back with me. They are still behind and will be handed over to His Majesty for interrogation. Which family Young and old, it’s very pitiful, why don’t you think about your family when you do bad things... Sigh.” Ji Zhao leaned back, “I don’t want to do such an errand again in the future, it’s too much to suffer, but am I a son-in-law? In the future, it is necessary to do such a job.”

Either Ji Zhao's acting skills are too good, or Ji Zhao has indeed changed in this life.

When saying these things, Zong Zhen could only see the real boredom on his face.

After all, it was because of him, Zong Zhen said at the right time: "There will be no such thing in the future."

"Really..." Ji Zhao said without expecting, "The prince will not let me go." Ji Zhao looked around, approached him, and whispered, "The prince doesn't like me, so he will definitely think of ways to fix it." Mine, I can find something to do if I have nothing to do, and I only find this kind of offending thing for me to do."

Zong Zhen was at a loss for words, he didn't know what to say.

Ji Zhao muttered again: "I often think, why on earth does the prince not like me?"

Hearing this, Zong Zhen couldn't help but sit upright, curious about what Ji Zhao said next, and wanted to know what Ji Zhao was thinking.

Ji Zhao, who hadn't noticed it before, thought about it, and asked Zongzhen seriously: "Could it be that he is jealous that I look better than him?"

"... "

"Perhaps this is the real reason. It is said that the prince is actually not the same as the princess, so maybe he is ugly? No wonder he hates me so much." The more Ji Zhao said, the more truth he said, and he almost believed it.

Zong Zhen felt that sometimes he was indeed like a fool, actually listening to Ji Zhao seriously.

Ji Zhao asked him again: "Tell me, what do I want, so that the crown prince won't give me little shoes?"

There was a hint of sadness in his voice, and Zong Zhen also said lightly: "Be more obedient..."

"Ah? Am I not obedient enough?" Ji Zhao muttered, "Forget it, what's the use of asking you, you are not the prince, you have never met the prince, and you will never have the chance to meet him in this life. In fact, it would be better if you don't see him." , I haven’t seen the prince, he doesn’t show his face every time he sees me, and I don’t want to see him at all.” Thinking of this, Ji Zhao suddenly realized, looked back at Zong Zhen, and said with certainty, “It must be because he is too ugly. Seeing me, I feel ashamed, not only dare not see me, but also deliberately shape my image of a handsome man!"

"... "

The attendant outside said: "Lang Jun, we are here!"

"It's here!" Ji Zhao smiled happily. The carriage was about to jump down before it stopped. Zong Zhen stretched out his hand to pull him, but Ji Zhao suddenly looked back at him. Zong Zhen thought he was going to say something again, so he couldn't help but stare intently. he.

Ji Zhao leaned over and said in a low voice, "What I told you today, don't tell others! If the prince finds out, I'll be smacked!" He wiped his neck again.

"... "

After Ji Zhao finished speaking, he jumped out of the carriage gracefully.

Zong Zhen sat in the car and was lucky. He really should talk less to Ji Zhao, and he must live a few years longer than in his previous life.

After Ji Zhao jumped off the carriage, he found an open grass field surrounded by forests far and near. Ji Zhao guessed that he brought himself to set off fireworks again!Ji Zhao didn't even wait for Zong Zhen to get off the carriage, and went directly to ask the attendants, "But you brought fireworks here again?"

The entourage nodded with a smile, Ji Zhao looked back happily at Zong Zhen who had just got off the carriage, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, there will be a next time!"

The entourage led Ji Zhao to the carriage at the back, and introduced, "Look, son-in-law, both of these carriages are loaded!"

"Two carriages!" Ji Zhao lifted the curtain of the carriage to see, there were indeed two carriages!He looked at two cars in a row, and wanted to see the third one. Zong Zhen walked over slowly, and Ji Zhao looked back at him, and then praised, "Hui merchants are amazing! Well-deserved reputation!"

"... "

"What is the third carriage?" Ji Zhao asked curiously.

Zong Zhen nodded to his entourage, and the people in the carriage began to move things out of the car. Ji Zhao didn't understand what those things were at first, but when he saw them carrying out pots, bowls, and stoves, he turned his head in disbelief. Looking at Zongzhen: "Why did you even bring this thing? Is it for food?"

Ji Zhao ran a few steps forward, and ran to the front of the carriage. Several masters saluted him one after another, and then set up a stove next to the carriage. After setting up the stove, he took out a wooden one from the carriage The small square table and two benches are exactly the same as those food stalls on the street. They are still moving things out. There are several jars, and when they are opened, there is a burst of fragrance.

The taste is so familiar, Ji Zhao suddenly remembered that he wrote last time that he wanted to eat duck blood vermicelli soup and small wontons in chicken soup. When he was in Jinling, he once ate it at the entrance of Pipa Lane. It was this kind of small stall. He was sitting on the bench at the entrance of the alley, eating happily, which was a novel experience for him.

He always kept it in his heart. He was outside for more than two months, thinking of the relatively comfortable life in Jinling City, and Pipa Lane was naturally indispensable. Zong Zhen asked him what he wanted to do when he came back, and he said that he wanted to go to the small stall at the entrance of Pipa Lane. I ate small wontons in chicken soup and duck blood vermicelli soup, and I also wanted to eat tofu flowers.

The masters have already started to light the fire and light the stove, and they have hung up long streamers and two oil lamps, which are slightly swaying in the breeze.

Ji Zhao raised his head and took advantage of the light to see the words on it clearly, and asked, "Is this the name of your stall? It's so familiar!"

One of the masters smiled and bowed his head and nodded: "If you go back to your son-in-law, the little old man does business at the entrance of Loquat Alley."

"It's really you! I ate at your house!"

"Yes yes yes! The little old man always remembers the son-in-law, the identity of the son-in-law, such a good talent, the little old man will never forget it once he has met..."

The master continued to "confess" Ji Zhao. Ji Zhao had already turned around and ran back to Zong Zhen who was quietly looking at this place, and said pleasantly: "You really read my letter! You even moved the stall here !"

Zong Zhen twitched the corner of his mouth.

With a faint half-smile, Ji Zhao was so happy that there was no border, he couldn't help but say the most sincere thoughts in his heart: "Brother! You are so kind to me! You are so kind!"

The corners of Zong Zhen's mouth turned up a little more, but Ji Zhao didn't have time to talk to him again, and ran back to the stall to watch the chefs cook duck blood vermicelli soup and make small wontons for him.

The hot water in the pot gradually boiled. In the early summer night, there was only a very thin layer of water vapor, which was almost gone. Ji Zhao stood in that layer of water vapor, talking to the masters from time to time, nodding his head from time to time. , the face is full of smiles.

Zong Zhen watched for a long time, until the attendant came to him and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, do you want to let off the fireworks?"

He nodded: "Put..."

After the unique sound of fireworks sounded, Ji Zhao, who was still talking to Chen Xing and several masters, immediately turned his head to look up at the sky, where one after another fireworks were continuously blooming in the sky.Although he lived in a high-tech society in his previous life, because of his body, he had never seen too many things with his own eyes.

He has seen many, many fireworks on TV, each one is more beautiful than the current one, but each one is not as beautiful as the current one.

Even though the scenery is fleeting, these are the moments truly recorded by his eyes.

So many moments are eternity.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Zong Zhen who was about ten steps away. When he noticed his gaze, Zong Zhen also looked back at him.

He immediately ran to Zongzhen's side with a smile, and took Zongzhen's hand. Zongzhen subconsciously wanted to shake it, "Let's watch together! Let's watch together!" Ji Zhao tightly gripped his hand and dragged him to the car Beside him, he jumped on the shaft of the car and sat down first, then he held his hand, "Brother, sit together!"

Zong Zhen looked at his entourage, and the entourage looked at the sky and the ground one after another, as if they saw nothing.

"Brother, sit down!" Ji Zhao pulled him again.

Zong Zhen sat down beside him as promised, Ji Zhao smiled like a fool, happy and cute, Zong Zhen suddenly wanted to pat his head.

Zong Zhen stretched out his hand, Ji Zhao raised his head to watch the fireworks, and said "Wow".

He suddenly woke up and withdrew his hand.
