Chapter 180 The White Lotus Delusion
Among the three princes in the dynasty, Ning Guogong is the oldest, and Jing Guogong is a military counselor. Compared with the two of them, Meng Guogong can be said to be the most low-key and leisurely one. He stepped down from the position of Ling, and no longer held any important positions except for hereditary titles, but even so, no one can shake Meng Guogong's position in the court, because nearly half of the officials in the court have been trained by him to some extent. Small favors and small benefits.
This is also one of Meng Guogong's greatest strengths. He is nosy and loves to be kind to others. From matchmaking to promotion, small favors have accumulated a lot, and they have turned into big favors. Naturally, people will become highly respected.In the eyes of the court officials, Meng Zhifan, the only son of Meng Guogong, obviously inherited his advantages. He is easy-going, gentle and refined, regardless of high or low, and is good to everyone. He is also the most popular among the children of the rich and powerful. .
However, from the point of view of Huyan Yuanchen and Ning Yuan involved in this matter, the so-called knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts is just right for Meng Zhifan.
There are not many servants in Meng Guogong's mansion, but the building is also very elegant, which is in line with the temperament of civil servants. As he walked, Huyan Yuanchen quietly memorized the way until the servant who led the way stopped by a pond.
In the middle of the pond, there is a place similar to an island in the middle of the lake. There is a waterside pavilion on it, and curtains are hung around the waterside pavilion. With the curtains on, it is impossible to see who is inside.
"My young master is waiting for the prince inside." The servant bowed and stepped out of the way. Hu Yanyuanchen nodded and stepped onto the pontoon bridge. Yan Fei, who followed him all the way, wanted to go up in a hurry, but was stopped by the man .
"I'm sorry, our young master said that the prince can only go there alone. This little brother might as well stay here later with the younger one."
"How can it be possible!" Yan Fei showed an incredulous expression, "I am the prince's personal bodyguard, how could..."
"Yan Fei, it's okay, just wait here." Huyan Yuanchen interrupted Yan Fei's words, "Your Majesty Meng is not a man-eating beast, so there is nothing to worry about."
Yan Fei still wanted to argue a few words, but seeing Huyan Yuanchen's eyes, he restrained himself and obediently stood aside.
The pontoon floats on the water, and it sways with the water, and there is no handrail. If it is an ordinary person with an unstable foot, he may fall into the water after taking two steps, but for Hu Yan A man with kung fu like Yuan Chen is like walking on flat ground.Huyan Yuanchen stepped across the pontoon bridge in a few strides, and went up to the waterside pavilion. When he got close, he could hear a clear sound of the zither coming from the waterside pavilion. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain in front of him, and saw Meng Zhifan Wearing a white robe, she is sitting in the middle of the waterside pavilion playing the piano.
He has seen Meng Zhifan's piano skills before. He is not very old, but he is more brilliant than court musicians. His slender and fair fingers are undulating on the strings, and the music is melodious. the tune.
Seeing that Meng Zhifan was obsessed with playing the piano and didn't intend to talk to him, Huyan Yuanchen naturally didn't speak first, but found a futon beside him, walked over to sit cross-legged on his own.
Meng Zhifan's playing seemed to be reaching a point of intensity, his fingers were moving together, the strings were ringing, and the curtains swaying in the wind seemed to be following his rhythm according to some rules. The clear and melodious piano sound before, At this moment, there was a smell of gold and iron horses, Huyan Yuanchen twitched his brows, and suddenly said softly: "Crazy on the sand."
Meng Zhifan's hand that was playing the qin suddenly stopped, and the aftertaste of the last sound was still trembling on the strings, lingering and lingering in the water pavilion.
"I didn't expect the prince to know this song." Meng Zhifan's voice sounded faintly, with three points of surprise in his peace, "I thought that no one in this world would know this song anymore."
"Mr. Meng's thoughts are also normal. After all, although the sand-treading maniac was created by the founding emperor of Da Xia, it has been lost for a long time even in Xia country." Huyan Yuanchen said: "I only know that the sand-treading maniac originally It's a desolate ancient song played on the flute, and Mr. Meng is now playing it with the sound of the qin, which has more sonorous and less sad, but it also has a special charm."
"My lord really knows a lot, and I have spent a lot of effort in recreating this song." Meng Zhifan still did not turn around, but stroked the strings with his fingers and said: "I sent someone I went to Daxia, visited the folks to collect fragments of fragments, and then tried to fill in the gaps after I got them back. After thousands of failures, I finally restored the lost Sandwalker last month. I wanted to invite him immediately. The prince came to share the reward, how could it have been delayed until now because of the busy schedule."
Huyan Yuanchen raised his eyebrows hidden under the mask, "How do you hear what Meng Shizi said, as if he thinks I like this song very much."
"Isn't it?" Meng Zhifan finally turned his face to the side, revealing the handsome outline of his cheeks, "It's like the engraving on the iron flute that the prince always carries, 'Treading on the sand and singing, don't go mad ', this sentence is a famous line in the libretto of Treading the Sand, the prince carries that flute every day, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this song." At this point, Meng Zhifan paused, "I don't know the song I'm going to continue with. You are crazy about stepping on the sand, the lord is still willing to listen to it."
"Meng Shizi's piano skills are superb, so naturally no matter what piece of music comes to your hands, you can talk very well." Huyan Yuanchen said very politely.
But Meng Zhifan was obviously dissatisfied with such an answer, he stood up, turned around, Huyan Yuanchen couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he saw him in front of him, this Meng Zhifan, who has always shown people with a noble and elegant face, now, except for the one outside The inside of the robe was empty, and he was not wearing anything, and the gauze on his lower body was almost nothing, so his body line could be seen at a glance.
But strangely, this originally frivolous attire, when placed on Meng Zhifan, strangely lost its charm, and turned into a strange sense of temptation. Meng Zhifan was already good-looking, and now he dressed like this Even if it is not a normal man with broken sleeves, he will blush for a while when he sees it, but in Huyan Yuanchen's eyes, he has no other thoughts except shame and embarrassment.
"Meng Shizi, what do you mean by your appearance?" Huyan Yuanchen turned his face stiffly.
"Why, we are all men, Meng doesn't think so, why did you embarrass the prince?" Meng Zhifan was unmoved, went straight to another futon next to Huyan Yuanchen and sat down, and then went to eat from one side. He took some nuts and wine out of the box, and said, "I just don't like the heat, so I dressed cooler, thinking that I'm still at home after all, but I startled the prince."
"It's okay." Hearing Meng Zhifan say this, Huyan Yuanchen couldn't keep his head on the side all the time. After all, he came back straight, but he didn't look at him at all, but looked at the drink in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'll take it." Seeing Shizi's post, I thought it was just for tea, why did Shizi come out with wine."
"The tea is too weak, but the wine can soothe my worries, so I asked my servants to replace it with wine." Meng Zhifan filled a glass for Huyan Yuanchen himself, "and the prince must have the same kind of love as Meng." Worry about it, this wine is called Thousand Cups of Wangyou, it is said that as long as you can drink thousands of cups, you can forget all your troubles and sorrows at once."
Huyan Yuanchen looked at the clear liquor, but didn't move.
Meng Zhifan said with a smile: "My lord doesn't drink, but he is worried that the wine may be poisonous?" He held up the cup, "Then Meng will do it first as a respect." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank everything, and finally returned the cup Di Liang showed Huyan Yuanchen a look.
Huyan Yuanchen stared at Meng Zhifan for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Meng Shizi is out of touch, why do you want to poison me?" He picked up another glass of wine and followed suit. Meng Zhifan drank it all in one gulp.
"Yes, if the prince is suspicious of me, he probably won't come to my appointment today." Meng Zhifan chuckled, "Meng is really happy and surprised that the prince can come today. Originally, I thought , because of brother Ning's matter, the prince should have hated me."
Seeing that Meng Zhifan was so simple, Hu Yanyuanchen opened the skylight to speak out, but he still put on a face, "Why did Meng Shizi say that?"
"My lord, no, Your Highness Huyan, there is no one else here except you and me. I also know that you have always been a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. Why don't you meet each other frankly and speak frankly." After serving the wine, "Those things that happened in Ningguo's mansion must have something to do with His Royal Highness Huyan."
Huyan Yuanchen didn't make a sound, but narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that Huyan Yuanchen didn't answer, Meng Zhifan assumed that he had acquiesced, and said, "I'll ask His Highness about those things...how did His Highness know about it?"
"Didn't you Da Zhou have a saying that if you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing about it." Huyan Yuanchen finally said, "Since you can do it, you should also think clearly that there will always be a day when the fire cannot be covered by paper."
"So that's it." Meng Zhifan nodded, "So you do know all about it."
"I just can't figure out why you, Mr. Meng, would join in and help those people plot against A Yuan." Hu Yanyuanchen thought that Ning Yuan was almost killed because of the person in front of him, and inexplicably, a burst of anger burst out from the bottom of his heart , the tone and expression are not as easy-going as they were at the beginning, "I always thought you were a knowledgeable person like Jing Yi, who is worth dealing with."
"Yeah, if it's the same as before, I'm just a person worth dealing with in your eyes." Meng Zhifan suddenly laughed at himself, "But if I can't become your sweetheart like Ning Yuan, I will spend all day What's the use of wearing a mask like that, it's just too tired to panic."
After saying this, Meng Zhifan stared at Huyan Yuanchen's expression without moving, and saw that although he was wearing a mask, he could still tell that his face had changed.Meng Zhifan only thought that Huyan Yuanchen was shocked by his sudden confession. After all, it was the first time he had shown his heart in front of this person. Anyway, Ning Yuan was dead. Why don't you cut your heart out thoroughly, maybe you can really turn Huyan Yuanchen into your own?
"His Royal Highness Huyan, don't think I'm abrupt. Maybe these words sound absurd and inappropriate to you, but they are also my sincere words. I had other thoughts about you a few years ago. I was worried about you. Treated by you as a monster, I never dared to say it out loud. It wasn't until I found out that you were with Ning Yuan that I realized that it wasn't that you couldn't accept men... Now that Ning Yuan is dead, he is dead. If you can't come back to life, why do you bother to be angry with the living for a dead person." Meng Zhifan said, the more he moved closer to Huyan Yuanchen, he didn't know what was wiped on his body, and there was a faint feeling A strange fragrance came out, and the fragrance penetrated into Huyan Yuanchen's nose one by one, making him slightly in a trance.
Meng Zhifan took Huyan Yuanchen's hand, and let his generous palm rest on his bare chest, "The dead are dead, but the living still have to move on, why don't you let me take Brother Ning's place , stay with you by your side, okay...?"
On the other side, at the back door of Duke Meng's mansion, a soft sedan chair suddenly stopped, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and an old man wearing a red official uniform and a goatee came down.
When the gatekeeper saw the old man, he was startled, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and complimented: "Master Tian, you are here to look for our master, but now it is the time for the master to take a nap, and the master will not be there until evening." Will wake up, you see..."
"The old man knows that he came in a hurry today, but if it wasn't something really important, why would he come to bother the old man suddenly." Tian Buwei narrowed his eyes, even when he was talking to the trustee, his tone was still so rigid, "The old man's body Under the orders of the emperor, I teach His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince's homework at the Royal Academy, and His Highness wants to consult a classic book, but he can't find it in the Imperial Study Room. This old man remembered that Mr. Meng has a good collection of books, so he wanted to try his luck." After finishing speaking, he lowered his He raised his voice and said: "The Emperor will check His Highness Six's homework in two days, if His Highness can make His Majesty happy, Lord Meng will certainly contribute to it, right?"
The servant at the door nodded and said yes, but he thought in his heart that this Tian Buwei was excluded by the Hanlin Academy, and now he is teaching the sixth prince's homework. It sounds good, but he has no power and no money. Now there is almost no one in the court. It is thick-skinned to be willing to associate with him, but to even have the nerve to find Shang Guogong's mansion.But even if he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface. After all, Tian Buwei is now under the emperor's order, and with the support of His Royal Highness Six and Concubine Shu Hui, it is still not easy to bully. Being nosy and generous, the servant still welcomed Tian Buwei into the mansion, and at the same time sent someone to inform Meng Guogong who was taking a nap.
"You go in with me with the gift, don't be frizzy, this ancient painting was begged from the emperor by His Royal Highness, if it is half damaged, be careful that I will break your leg." Before going in, Tian Buwei said again Turning around, he scolded a book boy who came with him. The book boy was thin and dressed in linen, holding a long scroll in his hand and kept nodding his head in agreement.
The servants of the Meng Mansion gave the bookboy a sympathetic look, and went to the front to lead the way. The bookboy helped the linen cap that was distorted by nodding, and lifted up a pair of bright eyes, revealing his eyes hidden under the brim of the hat. Ning Yuan's face turned, and after looking at the surrounding environment, he quickly lowered it.
In the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, Huyan Yuanchen was really startled by Meng Zhifan's sudden bold action, got up and took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Shizi, are you drunk and talking nonsense?"
Meng Zhifan saw that Huyan Yuanchen was dodging, but he didn't catch up, but sat down again, "Drunk? That's right, you can just pretend I'm drunk, but when I'm drunk, I tell the truth. It's all from my heart." He looked up at Huyan Yuanchen, "Your Highness can resent me for Brother Ning's accident, but he can't deny my sincerity, and I will do it all for my own selfishness. Self-interested feelings, I am also thinking of your highness, do you know your highness?"
"I think Meng Shizi is really crazy. The reckless behavior of people's lives can even become high-sounding when you talk about it. I have nothing to say with you. Seeing that Meng Shizi seems to be unwell, it is better to rest earlier, Hu Yan A certain farewell!" Huyan Yuanchen was inexplicably disgusted by Meng Zhifan, and he didn't care about the plan to start talking, turned around and planned to leave, but when he lifted the curtain, he suddenly found that he had just walked all the way The pontoon bridge has disappeared.
"Your Highness, don't you want to leave just like that?" Meng Zhifan chuckled, "It's really a pity. After His Highness came, I ordered the pontoon bridge to be taken away. I didn't have any malicious intentions. It’s all about telling my heart, when I finish speaking, if His Highness wants to leave, I will naturally send someone to take you to the gate, and I will never stop you.”
"Your so-called sincerity is based on other people's blood, how can you be so frank." Hu Yanyuanchen frowned and said: "I will tell the truth, even if A Yuan's matter has nothing to do with you, I will It is absolutely impossible to accept you."
"Ayuan, Ayuan, you are so easy-going, I think His Highness really likes Brother Ning very much." Meng Zhifan showed a contemptuous expression, "But don't you really feel that you are contradicting yourself, Your Highness, you just say that I am vicious , said that I disregarded human life, but the blood on Ning Yuan's hands was more or less than mine, but His Highness turned a blind eye, don't you think you are really biased?"
"I don't know what it means." Huyan Yuanchen flicked his sleeves, "When will Ah Yuan harm others for his own self-interest?"
"Harming others is harming others. Do we have to divide cause and effect?" The smile on Meng Zhifan's face widened. Selfishness, but I am doing it for you. Do you understand this? You should know that the Empress Dowager Da Xia has always wanted to deal with you. After thinking about it, you should also know that the Fourth Highness has been in contact with the Empress Dowager Xia. In fact, the Empress Dowager Xia I have wanted your life for a long time, but the Fourth Highness has been bargaining with her all the time so I couldn't succeed. If they finally negotiated the price, the Empress Dowager Xia promised the Fourth Highness to help him get the crown prince, but the premise is to use your Names are exchanged, in the Great Zhou realm, if they join forces, how sure are you that you can escape?"
Huyan Yuanchen shook his head, "I don't need to worry about my affairs, Prince Meng, you really worry too much."
"I don't want to worry too much, but who made me like you, so I don't worry about it." Meng Zhifan said: "Only if I have a place next to His Highness, can I save you from disasters in such matters. , can protect you before the crisis comes, and these things, can that Ning Yuan do it for you? It is a blessing that he does not become your burden! You should thank me for getting rid of him for you, because he is not I'm not good enough for you!"
Speaking of this, Meng Zhifan's expression even became a little distorted, as if his long-suppressed emotions could finally be released, but what responded to him was Huyan Yuanchen's pitiful eyes. It is said that it is a last resort, it is said that it is beneficial to others, the appearance of the gentle and elegant nobleman in the past has completely disappeared, and now in the eyes of Huyan Yuanchen, he has no other evaluation except a lunatic, he turned around. , I have heard enough of people talking nonsense here, and I just want to use the lightness kung fu of floating on the water to leave immediately, but before a breath of true energy can be raised, it suddenly disappears inexplicably. It's empty.
The wine was tampered with!He turned around again, and was about to ask questions, but saw that Meng Zhifan had already taken off all the clothes on his body at some point, fully showing his fair and supple body, the long-term pampered life made his honey-colored skin smooth There is a layer of luster, without the cover of the outer robe and gauze trousers, the flowing water-like texture of his body can be seen at a glance, the jet-black hair hangs down on his chest, and the tender buds like peach blossoms at two o'clock and March are looming, although he can It is a man at a glance, but it is also a body that can make any man fall in love with it.
"Don't worry, there's no poison in the wine, it's just some paralysis powder, at least within half an hour, it will take away all your energy and make you unable to use martial arts." Meng Zhifan said, With a naked body, he approached Huyan Yuanchen step by step.
"How are you doing?" Huyan Yuanchen frowned more and more tightly, and really felt that his legs were gradually starting to lose strength, and he was gradually becoming unstable.
"Actually, I more or less expected that you would not accept my feelings, Huyan." Meng Zhifan might have decided that Huyan Yuanchen couldn't resist now, and he even lost the title of "His Royal Highness" and turned to be like Ning Yuan. Evoking his last name affectionately, "It doesn't matter if that's the case, if you don't get your heart, it's good for someone who gets you. Ning Yuan is dead, and I won't give you up to anyone in the future." Huyan Yuanchen stopped in front of him, looked up at this tall and handsome man, raised his hand, slowly took off the mask on his face, and then gently pressed Huyan Yuanchen's frowning brows with soft fingertips , and then slid onto the conspicuous scar on his left cheek.
"I have already sent people to guard around, and no one will come to disturb us until we have fun..." Meng Zhifan said flirtatious words, but at the same time decided that Hu Yanyuanchen couldn't move now, so he reached out to relieve him Belt, which one? At this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and the movements of his hands froze in place, because Huyan Yuanchen suddenly took out a square scarf from nowhere and covered it with his hands that could no longer move. on the snout.
The nostrils were immediately filled with a strange fragrance. Meng Zhifan looked at Huyan Yuanchen in disbelief, and as soon as he uttered the words "Why..." his body went limp, and he fell to the ground without knowing anything. up.
181 The Complex and Prohibited Feet
Meng Guogong originally didn't like to be disturbed when he was taking a nap, but after hearing that Tian Buwei brought a pair of ancient paintings to accompany the gift, the collection addiction in his bones was haunted, so he got up to meet each other.
During these days when he retired from the official position, he has always been pampered, and the number of times he went out to play and entertain guests at home was very small. He only said that he was old and did not want to work hard, and most others praised his low-key personality. In fact, Only he knows the taste of this. The reason why Meng Guogong lives so isolated from the world is that he doesn't want to go outside to make a fool of himself.
He pays attention to face, and he can't bear others to gossip behind his back, so no matter whether he is an official or a person, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and his personality of being nosy and giving favors to others is also derived from this, but who knows, suddenly one day, His son, whom he had always been proud of, made him a big joke.
In the past, Meng Zhifan was always the pride of Meng Guogong. Among the sons of the three princes in the dynasty, Jing Yi was very playful, and Ning Zhongkun's mud could not support the wall. Only Meng Zhifan was smart and prudent since he was a child. A model among the noble sons of Huajing, but he is such a proud son of heaven, who made a scene of taking male actors back to the house to have fun, and doing all the things that are known to everyone.
Although many people would never say anything in front of Meng Guogong because of his face, but Meng Guogong knew with his toes that those people dared to talk about royal affairs behind their backs, so how could they care about his mere courtier? His face was very ugly, so he hastily resigned from the emperor on the grounds of being unwell, retired from his official position, and hid in the mansion without being seen or disturbed.
Those years of things, even if Meng Guogong thinks about it now, he still feels embarrassed. He intends to find a marriage for Meng Zhifan early, so as to break his eccentricity, but Meng Zhifan has been assertive since childhood, and Meng Guogong cannot force After losing him, he only had such a son, and he couldn't bear it. As time passed, he didn't bother to take care of him.
Fortunately, Meng Zhifan has been very peaceful in the past few years, and he hasn't made any troubles, which makes Meng Guogong somewhat at ease.
Meng Guogong asked his servants to invite Tian Buwei to the side hall, and the two were not strangers. Meng Guogong accepted Tian Buwei's paintings and fetched the ancient books he was looking for, and the two began to chat. Tian Buwei suddenly changed the topic to Meng Zhifan, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time, because he is now in the mansion.
Ever since Meng Zhifan became an adult, Meng Guogong seldom cared about his affairs. When he heard Tian Buwei mention it, he called the housekeeper and asked, "Is the young master in the mansion now?"
"The young master has been staying in his own yard today, and never went out." The housekeeper thought for a while, and said honestly: "But now the young master is only afraid that he is seeing guests, so he sent a post to invite Prince Yongyi to come to the mansion, and told him not to come." People are going to bother you."
"This boy, you don't say anything when there are guests. Prince Yongyi is a distinguished guest. Since he is here, how can I not pay attention to him?" After finishing speaking, Meng Guogong said to Tian Buwei: "Master Tian, why don't you come with me?" Go and have a look, that kid Zhifan has a lot of good tea hidden in his hands, and he will only take it out when entertaining guests, maybe we can even ask for a cup."
Tian Buwei nodded, stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile: "Very good."
A group of people left the main hall, led by the butler, and walked towards Meng Zhifan's yard. Tian Buwei praised the exquisite and elegant Guogong's mansion from time to time, which made Meng Guogong feel a little elated. They walked around the backyard and just stepped into Meng Zhifan's house. In the courtyard where he lived, a servant immediately came up to him and said, "Master, why are you here?"
"Where is the young master?" Meng Guogong looked at the quiet courtyard in front of him, no doubt about him, "Since the young master invited guests, why didn't you inform the old man?"
The servant accompanied him with a smile and said: "Because the young master invited him privately, and the young master also said that he didn't want to disturb the old master, so he didn't inform the old master...Since the old master is here, why don't you go invite the young master right away."
"No need." Meng Guogong waved his hand, "Where are others, we will go there by ourselves."
"This..." The servant began to hesitate, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this, the butler immediately yelled, "You stupid thing, the master is asking you something, where is the young master!"
"In...at the Xianghe Waterside Pavilion..." Meng Guogong is not a fool. Seeing the appearance of that person, some bad premonition suddenly popped up in his mind. He frowned, suppressed his bad mood, and went to go forward.
The servant immediately followed behind with a face full of fear.
The Duke of Meng is very high, so although the servants of the mansion are not in groups, they are absolutely indispensable. Just now, you can see one of them after a short walk, but now you enter Meng Zhifan's courtyard, there are people everywhere. It was quiet, as if even the people on duty had been sent away.
"Where are the people in this yard!" Meng Guogong felt more and more that something was wrong, and couldn't help but turned around and asked the servants who followed them.
"Because the young master wants to entertain guests, he told the younger ones not to disturb him, so he let those who have nothing to do go back to the house to rest..." That servant is one of Meng Zhifan's confidantes, so he naturally knows where Meng Zhifan is at the moment. What he was doing, he didn't know why the Meng Guo Guild came over suddenly. This master seldom set foot in this yard on weekdays. He wanted to help Meng Zhifan, but he didn't have the guts to stop the Duke of Meng. A thin layer of sweat soaked out.
Meng Guogong frowned, didn't ask any more questions, and walked all the way towards the Xianghe Waterside Pavilion, Tian Buwei walked aside, and did not speak very tactfully, when the group reached the edge of the pond, there was still no one around. , the water pavilion in the center of the pond is covered with heavy curtains, and it is hard to see whether there are real people inside.
"Is the young master here to entertain guests?" Meng Guogong pointed to the waterside pavilion, and then looked around the pond again, "Where did you go on the pontoon bridge?"
"This..." With the sweat on the faces of the servants who came, he couldn't help looking around, not knowing how to explain it.He is not Meng Zhifan's personal servant, but is responsible for checking the situation around the periphery. The person who originally served Meng Zhifan's personal service should be guarding here, but now the pond is quiet, just like other places, there is no one at all. film.
"Lord Tian, I really don't know what tricks this kid is up to. Let's go back first." The more Meng Guogong thought about it, the more he felt that things might be as he had expected, and it would be a shame for his family. He still wanted to leave Meng Zhifan behind. To save some face, it would be better to get Tian Buwei away from here first.
But at this time, a long and long moan suddenly came from the waterside pavilion in the pond. changed.
"It seems... that there seems to be someone in the water pavilion." Tian Buwei looked at Meng Guogong with a smile that was not a smile, "Of course, if there is any scene that is inconvenient for the old man to see, the old man will leave now, and I promise never Don't think about it outside."
I heard the voice, if you let you go away in such an unclear way, it would be strange if you wouldn't think wildly after going out, you just think about it, if there is something to say, what should be done.Meng Guogong's eyes were cloudy and cloudy, the voice was just sweet, maybe it wasn't that kind of thing and it didn't matter, the so-called seeing is better than hearing, and it would save Tian Buwei from thinking wildly when he went back.
So he said: "It's all right, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, Zhifan should be entertaining guests in the waterside pavilion, I'll send someone to raise the pontoon bridge first, let's go over and have a look." After that, Meng Guogong looked at the butler At a glance, the housekeeper understood, and immediately walked to a rockery not far away, turned the mechanism on the rockery, and saw a pontoon slowly rise from the bottom of the pond and float to the surface.
Meng Guogong was the first to step up, and the further he walked, the more obvious the panting and groaning sounds from the water pavilion became, and the uglier Meng Guogong's face became, but it was too late even if he wanted to turn around now.
Could it be that this kid is so shameless and brought the actor back to mess around! ?Thinking of this, Meng Guogong strode up to the water pavilion, and forcefully lifted the curtains that were blocking the surrounding area.
Not only was he stunned by the scene in front of him, even Tian Buwei and others who came up behind him were also stunned.
Meng Zhifan was indeed in the waterside pavilion, but what was different from what Meng Guogong was worried about was that there were no actors here. In other words, except for Meng Zhifan, there was no one in the entire waterside pavilion. The elegant son of the Duke of Meng is lying naked on a futon at the moment, with his hands between his legs, rubbing vigorously, breathing heavily and moaning with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and It seems that the entry is so deep that you don't even realize that you are surrounded by people.
"This... this..." Meng Guogong couldn't laugh or cry for a while. Although the facts were not what he thought, but the degree of shame was not much better. Originally, at the age of young men, self-consolation was normal, but Meng Zhifan couldn't do it. Go to your own room and stay there, it's so decent to go outside and put on this look!
"Shameful guy, don't hesitate to put on your clothes!" Meng Guogong scolded, but Meng Zhifan seemed not to have heard it at all, and was still enjoying himself there. A person dressed as a bookboy next to Wei reacted quickly, and immediately took off the outermost linen robe on his body, walked over and covered Meng Zhifan.
When the book boy moved, the housekeeper who was stunned by this scene also came to his senses, and followed suit. The two men forced Meng Zhifan, who was lying there limply, to the left and right. At this moment, Meng Zhifan seemed to be I just woke up a little bit, opened a pair of misty eyes, and looked around, as if I haven't figured out the situation in front of me, and I can't remember what I did before.
"Hurry up and take the young master down!" Meng Guogong waved his hand, his face was already stiff, the only thing he is grateful for now is that the person who came today is Tian Buwei, Tian Buwei is not a person who can talk around outside, This is also a blessing in misfortune.
The Shutong and the butler helped the drowsy Meng Zhifan to the nearest wing to lie down, and the butler said to the Shutong, "Thank you for your help, I'll go and get the clothes for the young master, and I will also ask the little brother to help you." Look after the young master for a while." Seeing the book boy nodding, the housekeeper smiled awkwardly and hurried away immediately.
"Huyan...don't go..." Meng Zhifan didn't seem to be awake until now, his face was flushed, and his mouth was still raving.The book boy grinned, took off the linen hat on his head, patted Meng Zhifan's face and said: "Young Master Meng, look more clearly, the young one is not Prince Yongyi."
Meng Zhifan's lifeless eyes flickered before falling on the book boy's face, his eyes straightened immediately, and he half-opened his mouth, "You...you..." After a long while, you didn't understand why.
"What's wrong with Meng Zhifan? Does the young one look like someone you know?" The book boy showed a puzzled expression, and tucked the clothes covering Meng Zhifan, "Meng Zhifan, please rest first. I'll go out now, little one." After he finished speaking, he showed a smile, turned around and left the room, and the blood on Meng Zhifan's face had already faded away, and it was only when the bookboy stepped out of the room that he heard him holding a few cups in his mouth. A trembling voice came from the room: "Ning... Yuan..."
Tian Buwei is indeed a man who can keep his mouth shut, so he didn't mention to outsiders what he saw and heard in Meng Guogong's mansion, so when someone in Beijing suddenly heard that the son of Meng Guogong didn't know what wrong he had done, he was killed by Meng Guogong. The public relations officer of the state was thinking behind closed doors in the mansion, and when he was not allowed to go out, everyone couldn't help guessing what happened.
Of course, the most popular among them is nothing more than that Meng Zhifan hooked up with some opera singer to play Duanxiu again. After all, he was also banned by Meng Guogong for a period of time after his affair with the opera singer was exposed last time. But if the same thing happens again, it's nothing new, and everyone's discussion is just a joke.
"I heard that Meng Zhifan was frightened by you. He thought there was a ghost looking for his life, but he fell ill in bed." Still in General Zhao's mansion, Zhao Mo found Ning Yuan and told him I just heard about the situation from the outside, "But I don't understand, he made you almost
This is also one of Meng Guogong's greatest strengths. He is nosy and loves to be kind to others. From matchmaking to promotion, small favors have accumulated a lot, and they have turned into big favors. Naturally, people will become highly respected.In the eyes of the court officials, Meng Zhifan, the only son of Meng Guogong, obviously inherited his advantages. He is easy-going, gentle and refined, regardless of high or low, and is good to everyone. He is also the most popular among the children of the rich and powerful. .
However, from the point of view of Huyan Yuanchen and Ning Yuan involved in this matter, the so-called knowing people, knowing faces but not knowing their hearts is just right for Meng Zhifan.
There are not many servants in Meng Guogong's mansion, but the building is also very elegant, which is in line with the temperament of civil servants. As he walked, Huyan Yuanchen quietly memorized the way until the servant who led the way stopped by a pond.
In the middle of the pond, there is a place similar to an island in the middle of the lake. There is a waterside pavilion on it, and curtains are hung around the waterside pavilion. With the curtains on, it is impossible to see who is inside.
"My young master is waiting for the prince inside." The servant bowed and stepped out of the way. Hu Yanyuanchen nodded and stepped onto the pontoon bridge. Yan Fei, who followed him all the way, wanted to go up in a hurry, but was stopped by the man .
"I'm sorry, our young master said that the prince can only go there alone. This little brother might as well stay here later with the younger one."
"How can it be possible!" Yan Fei showed an incredulous expression, "I am the prince's personal bodyguard, how could..."
"Yan Fei, it's okay, just wait here." Huyan Yuanchen interrupted Yan Fei's words, "Your Majesty Meng is not a man-eating beast, so there is nothing to worry about."
Yan Fei still wanted to argue a few words, but seeing Huyan Yuanchen's eyes, he restrained himself and obediently stood aside.
The pontoon floats on the water, and it sways with the water, and there is no handrail. If it is an ordinary person with an unstable foot, he may fall into the water after taking two steps, but for Hu Yan A man with kung fu like Yuan Chen is like walking on flat ground.Huyan Yuanchen stepped across the pontoon bridge in a few strides, and went up to the waterside pavilion. When he got close, he could hear a clear sound of the zither coming from the waterside pavilion. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain in front of him, and saw Meng Zhifan Wearing a white robe, she is sitting in the middle of the waterside pavilion playing the piano.
He has seen Meng Zhifan's piano skills before. He is not very old, but he is more brilliant than court musicians. His slender and fair fingers are undulating on the strings, and the music is melodious. the tune.
Seeing that Meng Zhifan was obsessed with playing the piano and didn't intend to talk to him, Huyan Yuanchen naturally didn't speak first, but found a futon beside him, walked over to sit cross-legged on his own.
Meng Zhifan's playing seemed to be reaching a point of intensity, his fingers were moving together, the strings were ringing, and the curtains swaying in the wind seemed to be following his rhythm according to some rules. The clear and melodious piano sound before, At this moment, there was a smell of gold and iron horses, Huyan Yuanchen twitched his brows, and suddenly said softly: "Crazy on the sand."
Meng Zhifan's hand that was playing the qin suddenly stopped, and the aftertaste of the last sound was still trembling on the strings, lingering and lingering in the water pavilion.
"I didn't expect the prince to know this song." Meng Zhifan's voice sounded faintly, with three points of surprise in his peace, "I thought that no one in this world would know this song anymore."
"Mr. Meng's thoughts are also normal. After all, although the sand-treading maniac was created by the founding emperor of Da Xia, it has been lost for a long time even in Xia country." Huyan Yuanchen said: "I only know that the sand-treading maniac originally It's a desolate ancient song played on the flute, and Mr. Meng is now playing it with the sound of the qin, which has more sonorous and less sad, but it also has a special charm."
"My lord really knows a lot, and I have spent a lot of effort in recreating this song." Meng Zhifan still did not turn around, but stroked the strings with his fingers and said: "I sent someone I went to Daxia, visited the folks to collect fragments of fragments, and then tried to fill in the gaps after I got them back. After thousands of failures, I finally restored the lost Sandwalker last month. I wanted to invite him immediately. The prince came to share the reward, how could it have been delayed until now because of the busy schedule."
Huyan Yuanchen raised his eyebrows hidden under the mask, "How do you hear what Meng Shizi said, as if he thinks I like this song very much."
"Isn't it?" Meng Zhifan finally turned his face to the side, revealing the handsome outline of his cheeks, "It's like the engraving on the iron flute that the prince always carries, 'Treading on the sand and singing, don't go mad ', this sentence is a famous line in the libretto of Treading the Sand, the prince carries that flute every day, so it can be seen that he attaches great importance to this song." At this point, Meng Zhifan paused, "I don't know the song I'm going to continue with. You are crazy about stepping on the sand, the lord is still willing to listen to it."
"Meng Shizi's piano skills are superb, so naturally no matter what piece of music comes to your hands, you can talk very well." Huyan Yuanchen said very politely.
But Meng Zhifan was obviously dissatisfied with such an answer, he stood up, turned around, Huyan Yuanchen couldn't help being stunned for a moment when he saw him in front of him, this Meng Zhifan, who has always shown people with a noble and elegant face, now, except for the one outside The inside of the robe was empty, and he was not wearing anything, and the gauze on his lower body was almost nothing, so his body line could be seen at a glance.
But strangely, this originally frivolous attire, when placed on Meng Zhifan, strangely lost its charm, and turned into a strange sense of temptation. Meng Zhifan was already good-looking, and now he dressed like this Even if it is not a normal man with broken sleeves, he will blush for a while when he sees it, but in Huyan Yuanchen's eyes, he has no other thoughts except shame and embarrassment.
"Meng Shizi, what do you mean by your appearance?" Huyan Yuanchen turned his face stiffly.
"Why, we are all men, Meng doesn't think so, why did you embarrass the prince?" Meng Zhifan was unmoved, went straight to another futon next to Huyan Yuanchen and sat down, and then went to eat from one side. He took some nuts and wine out of the box, and said, "I just don't like the heat, so I dressed cooler, thinking that I'm still at home after all, but I startled the prince."
"It's okay." Hearing Meng Zhifan say this, Huyan Yuanchen couldn't keep his head on the side all the time. After all, he came back straight, but he didn't look at him at all, but looked at the drink in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'll take it." Seeing Shizi's post, I thought it was just for tea, why did Shizi come out with wine."
"The tea is too weak, but the wine can soothe my worries, so I asked my servants to replace it with wine." Meng Zhifan filled a glass for Huyan Yuanchen himself, "and the prince must have the same kind of love as Meng." Worry about it, this wine is called Thousand Cups of Wangyou, it is said that as long as you can drink thousands of cups, you can forget all your troubles and sorrows at once."
Huyan Yuanchen looked at the clear liquor, but didn't move.
Meng Zhifan said with a smile: "My lord doesn't drink, but he is worried that the wine may be poisonous?" He held up the cup, "Then Meng will do it first as a respect." After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank everything, and finally returned the cup Di Liang showed Huyan Yuanchen a look.
Huyan Yuanchen stared at Meng Zhifan for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "Meng Shizi is out of touch, why do you want to poison me?" He picked up another glass of wine and followed suit. Meng Zhifan drank it all in one gulp.
"Yes, if the prince is suspicious of me, he probably won't come to my appointment today." Meng Zhifan chuckled, "Meng is really happy and surprised that the prince can come today. Originally, I thought , because of brother Ning's matter, the prince should have hated me."
Seeing that Meng Zhifan was so simple, Hu Yanyuanchen opened the skylight to speak out, but he still put on a face, "Why did Meng Shizi say that?"
"My lord, no, Your Highness Huyan, there is no one else here except you and me. I also know that you have always been a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush. Why don't you meet each other frankly and speak frankly." After serving the wine, "Those things that happened in Ningguo's mansion must have something to do with His Royal Highness Huyan."
Huyan Yuanchen didn't make a sound, but narrowed his eyes.
Seeing that Huyan Yuanchen didn't answer, Meng Zhifan assumed that he had acquiesced, and said, "I'll ask His Highness about those things...how did His Highness know about it?"
"Didn't you Da Zhou have a saying that if you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing about it." Huyan Yuanchen finally said, "Since you can do it, you should also think clearly that there will always be a day when the fire cannot be covered by paper."
"So that's it." Meng Zhifan nodded, "So you do know all about it."
"I just can't figure out why you, Mr. Meng, would join in and help those people plot against A Yuan." Hu Yanyuanchen thought that Ning Yuan was almost killed because of the person in front of him, and inexplicably, a burst of anger burst out from the bottom of his heart , the tone and expression are not as easy-going as they were at the beginning, "I always thought you were a knowledgeable person like Jing Yi, who is worth dealing with."
"Yeah, if it's the same as before, I'm just a person worth dealing with in your eyes." Meng Zhifan suddenly laughed at himself, "But if I can't become your sweetheart like Ning Yuan, I will spend all day What's the use of wearing a mask like that, it's just too tired to panic."
After saying this, Meng Zhifan stared at Huyan Yuanchen's expression without moving, and saw that although he was wearing a mask, he could still tell that his face had changed.Meng Zhifan only thought that Huyan Yuanchen was shocked by his sudden confession. After all, it was the first time he had shown his heart in front of this person. Anyway, Ning Yuan was dead. Why don't you cut your heart out thoroughly, maybe you can really turn Huyan Yuanchen into your own?
"His Royal Highness Huyan, don't think I'm abrupt. Maybe these words sound absurd and inappropriate to you, but they are also my sincere words. I had other thoughts about you a few years ago. I was worried about you. Treated by you as a monster, I never dared to say it out loud. It wasn't until I found out that you were with Ning Yuan that I realized that it wasn't that you couldn't accept men... Now that Ning Yuan is dead, he is dead. If you can't come back to life, why do you bother to be angry with the living for a dead person." Meng Zhifan said, the more he moved closer to Huyan Yuanchen, he didn't know what was wiped on his body, and there was a faint feeling A strange fragrance came out, and the fragrance penetrated into Huyan Yuanchen's nose one by one, making him slightly in a trance.
Meng Zhifan took Huyan Yuanchen's hand, and let his generous palm rest on his bare chest, "The dead are dead, but the living still have to move on, why don't you let me take Brother Ning's place , stay with you by your side, okay...?"
On the other side, at the back door of Duke Meng's mansion, a soft sedan chair suddenly stopped, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, and an old man wearing a red official uniform and a goatee came down.
When the gatekeeper saw the old man, he was startled, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, and complimented: "Master Tian, you are here to look for our master, but now it is the time for the master to take a nap, and the master will not be there until evening." Will wake up, you see..."
"The old man knows that he came in a hurry today, but if it wasn't something really important, why would he come to bother the old man suddenly." Tian Buwei narrowed his eyes, even when he was talking to the trustee, his tone was still so rigid, "The old man's body Under the orders of the emperor, I teach His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince's homework at the Royal Academy, and His Highness wants to consult a classic book, but he can't find it in the Imperial Study Room. This old man remembered that Mr. Meng has a good collection of books, so he wanted to try his luck." After finishing speaking, he lowered his He raised his voice and said: "The Emperor will check His Highness Six's homework in two days, if His Highness can make His Majesty happy, Lord Meng will certainly contribute to it, right?"
The servant at the door nodded and said yes, but he thought in his heart that this Tian Buwei was excluded by the Hanlin Academy, and now he is teaching the sixth prince's homework. It sounds good, but he has no power and no money. Now there is almost no one in the court. It is thick-skinned to be willing to associate with him, but to even have the nerve to find Shang Guogong's mansion.But even if he thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on the surface. After all, Tian Buwei is now under the emperor's order, and with the support of His Royal Highness Six and Concubine Shu Hui, it is still not easy to bully. Being nosy and generous, the servant still welcomed Tian Buwei into the mansion, and at the same time sent someone to inform Meng Guogong who was taking a nap.
"You go in with me with the gift, don't be frizzy, this ancient painting was begged from the emperor by His Royal Highness, if it is half damaged, be careful that I will break your leg." Before going in, Tian Buwei said again Turning around, he scolded a book boy who came with him. The book boy was thin and dressed in linen, holding a long scroll in his hand and kept nodding his head in agreement.
The servants of the Meng Mansion gave the bookboy a sympathetic look, and went to the front to lead the way. The bookboy helped the linen cap that was distorted by nodding, and lifted up a pair of bright eyes, revealing his eyes hidden under the brim of the hat. Ning Yuan's face turned, and after looking at the surrounding environment, he quickly lowered it.
In the water pavilion in the middle of the lake, Huyan Yuanchen was really startled by Meng Zhifan's sudden bold action, got up and took a step back, and said in a deep voice: "Meng Shizi, are you drunk and talking nonsense?"
Meng Zhifan saw that Huyan Yuanchen was dodging, but he didn't catch up, but sat down again, "Drunk? That's right, you can just pretend I'm drunk, but when I'm drunk, I tell the truth. It's all from my heart." He looked up at Huyan Yuanchen, "Your Highness can resent me for Brother Ning's accident, but he can't deny my sincerity, and I will do it all for my own selfishness. Self-interested feelings, I am also thinking of your highness, do you know your highness?"
"I think Meng Shizi is really crazy. The reckless behavior of people's lives can even become high-sounding when you talk about it. I have nothing to say with you. Seeing that Meng Shizi seems to be unwell, it is better to rest earlier, Hu Yan A certain farewell!" Huyan Yuanchen was inexplicably disgusted by Meng Zhifan, and he didn't care about the plan to start talking, turned around and planned to leave, but when he lifted the curtain, he suddenly found that he had just walked all the way The pontoon bridge has disappeared.
"Your Highness, don't you want to leave just like that?" Meng Zhifan chuckled, "It's really a pity. After His Highness came, I ordered the pontoon bridge to be taken away. I didn't have any malicious intentions. It’s all about telling my heart, when I finish speaking, if His Highness wants to leave, I will naturally send someone to take you to the gate, and I will never stop you.”
"Your so-called sincerity is based on other people's blood, how can you be so frank." Hu Yanyuanchen frowned and said: "I will tell the truth, even if A Yuan's matter has nothing to do with you, I will It is absolutely impossible to accept you."
"Ayuan, Ayuan, you are so easy-going, I think His Highness really likes Brother Ning very much." Meng Zhifan showed a contemptuous expression, "But don't you really feel that you are contradicting yourself, Your Highness, you just say that I am vicious , said that I disregarded human life, but the blood on Ning Yuan's hands was more or less than mine, but His Highness turned a blind eye, don't you think you are really biased?"
"I don't know what it means." Huyan Yuanchen flicked his sleeves, "When will Ah Yuan harm others for his own self-interest?"
"Harming others is harming others. Do we have to divide cause and effect?" The smile on Meng Zhifan's face widened. Selfishness, but I am doing it for you. Do you understand this? You should know that the Empress Dowager Da Xia has always wanted to deal with you. After thinking about it, you should also know that the Fourth Highness has been in contact with the Empress Dowager Xia. In fact, the Empress Dowager Xia I have wanted your life for a long time, but the Fourth Highness has been bargaining with her all the time so I couldn't succeed. If they finally negotiated the price, the Empress Dowager Xia promised the Fourth Highness to help him get the crown prince, but the premise is to use your Names are exchanged, in the Great Zhou realm, if they join forces, how sure are you that you can escape?"
Huyan Yuanchen shook his head, "I don't need to worry about my affairs, Prince Meng, you really worry too much."
"I don't want to worry too much, but who made me like you, so I don't worry about it." Meng Zhifan said: "Only if I have a place next to His Highness, can I save you from disasters in such matters. , can protect you before the crisis comes, and these things, can that Ning Yuan do it for you? It is a blessing that he does not become your burden! You should thank me for getting rid of him for you, because he is not I'm not good enough for you!"
Speaking of this, Meng Zhifan's expression even became a little distorted, as if his long-suppressed emotions could finally be released, but what responded to him was Huyan Yuanchen's pitiful eyes. It is said that it is a last resort, it is said that it is beneficial to others, the appearance of the gentle and elegant nobleman in the past has completely disappeared, and now in the eyes of Huyan Yuanchen, he has no other evaluation except a lunatic, he turned around. , I have heard enough of people talking nonsense here, and I just want to use the lightness kung fu of floating on the water to leave immediately, but before a breath of true energy can be raised, it suddenly disappears inexplicably. It's empty.
The wine was tampered with!He turned around again, and was about to ask questions, but saw that Meng Zhifan had already taken off all the clothes on his body at some point, fully showing his fair and supple body, the long-term pampered life made his honey-colored skin smooth There is a layer of luster, without the cover of the outer robe and gauze trousers, the flowing water-like texture of his body can be seen at a glance, the jet-black hair hangs down on his chest, and the tender buds like peach blossoms at two o'clock and March are looming, although he can It is a man at a glance, but it is also a body that can make any man fall in love with it.
"Don't worry, there's no poison in the wine, it's just some paralysis powder, at least within half an hour, it will take away all your energy and make you unable to use martial arts." Meng Zhifan said, With a naked body, he approached Huyan Yuanchen step by step.
"How are you doing?" Huyan Yuanchen frowned more and more tightly, and really felt that his legs were gradually starting to lose strength, and he was gradually becoming unstable.
"Actually, I more or less expected that you would not accept my feelings, Huyan." Meng Zhifan might have decided that Huyan Yuanchen couldn't resist now, and he even lost the title of "His Royal Highness" and turned to be like Ning Yuan. Evoking his last name affectionately, "It doesn't matter if that's the case, if you don't get your heart, it's good for someone who gets you. Ning Yuan is dead, and I won't give you up to anyone in the future." Huyan Yuanchen stopped in front of him, looked up at this tall and handsome man, raised his hand, slowly took off the mask on his face, and then gently pressed Huyan Yuanchen's frowning brows with soft fingertips , and then slid onto the conspicuous scar on his left cheek.
"I have already sent people to guard around, and no one will come to disturb us until we have fun..." Meng Zhifan said flirtatious words, but at the same time decided that Hu Yanyuanchen couldn't move now, so he reached out to relieve him Belt, which one? At this moment, his eyes widened suddenly, and the movements of his hands froze in place, because Huyan Yuanchen suddenly took out a square scarf from nowhere and covered it with his hands that could no longer move. on the snout.
The nostrils were immediately filled with a strange fragrance. Meng Zhifan looked at Huyan Yuanchen in disbelief, and as soon as he uttered the words "Why..." his body went limp, and he fell to the ground without knowing anything. up.
181 The Complex and Prohibited Feet
Meng Guogong originally didn't like to be disturbed when he was taking a nap, but after hearing that Tian Buwei brought a pair of ancient paintings to accompany the gift, the collection addiction in his bones was haunted, so he got up to meet each other.
During these days when he retired from the official position, he has always been pampered, and the number of times he went out to play and entertain guests at home was very small. He only said that he was old and did not want to work hard, and most others praised his low-key personality. In fact, Only he knows the taste of this. The reason why Meng Guogong lives so isolated from the world is that he doesn't want to go outside to make a fool of himself.
He pays attention to face, and he can't bear others to gossip behind his back, so no matter whether he is an official or a person, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and his personality of being nosy and giving favors to others is also derived from this, but who knows, suddenly one day, His son, whom he had always been proud of, made him a big joke.
In the past, Meng Zhifan was always the pride of Meng Guogong. Among the sons of the three princes in the dynasty, Jing Yi was very playful, and Ning Zhongkun's mud could not support the wall. Only Meng Zhifan was smart and prudent since he was a child. A model among the noble sons of Huajing, but he is such a proud son of heaven, who made a scene of taking male actors back to the house to have fun, and doing all the things that are known to everyone.
Although many people would never say anything in front of Meng Guogong because of his face, but Meng Guogong knew with his toes that those people dared to talk about royal affairs behind their backs, so how could they care about his mere courtier? His face was very ugly, so he hastily resigned from the emperor on the grounds of being unwell, retired from his official position, and hid in the mansion without being seen or disturbed.
Those years of things, even if Meng Guogong thinks about it now, he still feels embarrassed. He intends to find a marriage for Meng Zhifan early, so as to break his eccentricity, but Meng Zhifan has been assertive since childhood, and Meng Guogong cannot force After losing him, he only had such a son, and he couldn't bear it. As time passed, he didn't bother to take care of him.
Fortunately, Meng Zhifan has been very peaceful in the past few years, and he hasn't made any troubles, which makes Meng Guogong somewhat at ease.
Meng Guogong asked his servants to invite Tian Buwei to the side hall, and the two were not strangers. Meng Guogong accepted Tian Buwei's paintings and fetched the ancient books he was looking for, and the two began to chat. Tian Buwei suddenly changed the topic to Meng Zhifan, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time, because he is now in the mansion.
Ever since Meng Zhifan became an adult, Meng Guogong seldom cared about his affairs. When he heard Tian Buwei mention it, he called the housekeeper and asked, "Is the young master in the mansion now?"
"The young master has been staying in his own yard today, and never went out." The housekeeper thought for a while, and said honestly: "But now the young master is only afraid that he is seeing guests, so he sent a post to invite Prince Yongyi to come to the mansion, and told him not to come." People are going to bother you."
"This boy, you don't say anything when there are guests. Prince Yongyi is a distinguished guest. Since he is here, how can I not pay attention to him?" After finishing speaking, Meng Guogong said to Tian Buwei: "Master Tian, why don't you come with me?" Go and have a look, that kid Zhifan has a lot of good tea hidden in his hands, and he will only take it out when entertaining guests, maybe we can even ask for a cup."
Tian Buwei nodded, stroked his beard lightly, and said with a smile: "Very good."
A group of people left the main hall, led by the butler, and walked towards Meng Zhifan's yard. Tian Buwei praised the exquisite and elegant Guogong's mansion from time to time, which made Meng Guogong feel a little elated. They walked around the backyard and just stepped into Meng Zhifan's house. In the courtyard where he lived, a servant immediately came up to him and said, "Master, why are you here?"
"Where is the young master?" Meng Guogong looked at the quiet courtyard in front of him, no doubt about him, "Since the young master invited guests, why didn't you inform the old man?"
The servant accompanied him with a smile and said: "Because the young master invited him privately, and the young master also said that he didn't want to disturb the old master, so he didn't inform the old master...Since the old master is here, why don't you go invite the young master right away."
"No need." Meng Guogong waved his hand, "Where are others, we will go there by ourselves."
"This..." The servant began to hesitate, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing this, the butler immediately yelled, "You stupid thing, the master is asking you something, where is the young master!"
"In...at the Xianghe Waterside Pavilion..." Meng Guogong is not a fool. Seeing the appearance of that person, some bad premonition suddenly popped up in his mind. He frowned, suppressed his bad mood, and went to go forward.
The servant immediately followed behind with a face full of fear.
The Duke of Meng is very high, so although the servants of the mansion are not in groups, they are absolutely indispensable. Just now, you can see one of them after a short walk, but now you enter Meng Zhifan's courtyard, there are people everywhere. It was quiet, as if even the people on duty had been sent away.
"Where are the people in this yard!" Meng Guogong felt more and more that something was wrong, and couldn't help but turned around and asked the servants who followed them.
"Because the young master wants to entertain guests, he told the younger ones not to disturb him, so he let those who have nothing to do go back to the house to rest..." That servant is one of Meng Zhifan's confidantes, so he naturally knows where Meng Zhifan is at the moment. What he was doing, he didn't know why the Meng Guo Guild came over suddenly. This master seldom set foot in this yard on weekdays. He wanted to help Meng Zhifan, but he didn't have the guts to stop the Duke of Meng. A thin layer of sweat soaked out.
Meng Guogong frowned, didn't ask any more questions, and walked all the way towards the Xianghe Waterside Pavilion, Tian Buwei walked aside, and did not speak very tactfully, when the group reached the edge of the pond, there was still no one around. , the water pavilion in the center of the pond is covered with heavy curtains, and it is hard to see whether there are real people inside.
"Is the young master here to entertain guests?" Meng Guogong pointed to the waterside pavilion, and then looked around the pond again, "Where did you go on the pontoon bridge?"
"This..." With the sweat on the faces of the servants who came, he couldn't help looking around, not knowing how to explain it.He is not Meng Zhifan's personal servant, but is responsible for checking the situation around the periphery. The person who originally served Meng Zhifan's personal service should be guarding here, but now the pond is quiet, just like other places, there is no one at all. film.
"Lord Tian, I really don't know what tricks this kid is up to. Let's go back first." The more Meng Guogong thought about it, the more he felt that things might be as he had expected, and it would be a shame for his family. He still wanted to leave Meng Zhifan behind. To save some face, it would be better to get Tian Buwei away from here first.
But at this time, a long and long moan suddenly came from the waterside pavilion in the pond. changed.
"It seems... that there seems to be someone in the water pavilion." Tian Buwei looked at Meng Guogong with a smile that was not a smile, "Of course, if there is any scene that is inconvenient for the old man to see, the old man will leave now, and I promise never Don't think about it outside."
I heard the voice, if you let you go away in such an unclear way, it would be strange if you wouldn't think wildly after going out, you just think about it, if there is something to say, what should be done.Meng Guogong's eyes were cloudy and cloudy, the voice was just sweet, maybe it wasn't that kind of thing and it didn't matter, the so-called seeing is better than hearing, and it would save Tian Buwei from thinking wildly when he went back.
So he said: "It's all right, I don't think there's anything to be ashamed of, Zhifan should be entertaining guests in the waterside pavilion, I'll send someone to raise the pontoon bridge first, let's go over and have a look." After that, Meng Guogong looked at the butler At a glance, the housekeeper understood, and immediately walked to a rockery not far away, turned the mechanism on the rockery, and saw a pontoon slowly rise from the bottom of the pond and float to the surface.
Meng Guogong was the first to step up, and the further he walked, the more obvious the panting and groaning sounds from the water pavilion became, and the uglier Meng Guogong's face became, but it was too late even if he wanted to turn around now.
Could it be that this kid is so shameless and brought the actor back to mess around! ?Thinking of this, Meng Guogong strode up to the water pavilion, and forcefully lifted the curtains that were blocking the surrounding area.
Not only was he stunned by the scene in front of him, even Tian Buwei and others who came up behind him were also stunned.
Meng Zhifan was indeed in the waterside pavilion, but what was different from what Meng Guogong was worried about was that there were no actors here. In other words, except for Meng Zhifan, there was no one in the entire waterside pavilion. The elegant son of the Duke of Meng is lying naked on a futon at the moment, with his hands between his legs, rubbing vigorously, breathing heavily and moaning with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and It seems that the entry is so deep that you don't even realize that you are surrounded by people.
"This... this..." Meng Guogong couldn't laugh or cry for a while. Although the facts were not what he thought, but the degree of shame was not much better. Originally, at the age of young men, self-consolation was normal, but Meng Zhifan couldn't do it. Go to your own room and stay there, it's so decent to go outside and put on this look!
"Shameful guy, don't hesitate to put on your clothes!" Meng Guogong scolded, but Meng Zhifan seemed not to have heard it at all, and was still enjoying himself there. A person dressed as a bookboy next to Wei reacted quickly, and immediately took off the outermost linen robe on his body, walked over and covered Meng Zhifan.
When the book boy moved, the housekeeper who was stunned by this scene also came to his senses, and followed suit. The two men forced Meng Zhifan, who was lying there limply, to the left and right. At this moment, Meng Zhifan seemed to be I just woke up a little bit, opened a pair of misty eyes, and looked around, as if I haven't figured out the situation in front of me, and I can't remember what I did before.
"Hurry up and take the young master down!" Meng Guogong waved his hand, his face was already stiff, the only thing he is grateful for now is that the person who came today is Tian Buwei, Tian Buwei is not a person who can talk around outside, This is also a blessing in misfortune.
The Shutong and the butler helped the drowsy Meng Zhifan to the nearest wing to lie down, and the butler said to the Shutong, "Thank you for your help, I'll go and get the clothes for the young master, and I will also ask the little brother to help you." Look after the young master for a while." Seeing the book boy nodding, the housekeeper smiled awkwardly and hurried away immediately.
"Huyan...don't go..." Meng Zhifan didn't seem to be awake until now, his face was flushed, and his mouth was still raving.The book boy grinned, took off the linen hat on his head, patted Meng Zhifan's face and said: "Young Master Meng, look more clearly, the young one is not Prince Yongyi."
Meng Zhifan's lifeless eyes flickered before falling on the book boy's face, his eyes straightened immediately, and he half-opened his mouth, "You...you..." After a long while, you didn't understand why.
"What's wrong with Meng Zhifan? Does the young one look like someone you know?" The book boy showed a puzzled expression, and tucked the clothes covering Meng Zhifan, "Meng Zhifan, please rest first. I'll go out now, little one." After he finished speaking, he showed a smile, turned around and left the room, and the blood on Meng Zhifan's face had already faded away, and it was only when the bookboy stepped out of the room that he heard him holding a few cups in his mouth. A trembling voice came from the room: "Ning... Yuan..."
Tian Buwei is indeed a man who can keep his mouth shut, so he didn't mention to outsiders what he saw and heard in Meng Guogong's mansion, so when someone in Beijing suddenly heard that the son of Meng Guogong didn't know what wrong he had done, he was killed by Meng Guogong. The public relations officer of the state was thinking behind closed doors in the mansion, and when he was not allowed to go out, everyone couldn't help guessing what happened.
Of course, the most popular among them is nothing more than that Meng Zhifan hooked up with some opera singer to play Duanxiu again. After all, he was also banned by Meng Guogong for a period of time after his affair with the opera singer was exposed last time. But if the same thing happens again, it's nothing new, and everyone's discussion is just a joke.
"I heard that Meng Zhifan was frightened by you. He thought there was a ghost looking for his life, but he fell ill in bed." Still in General Zhao's mansion, Zhao Mo found Ning Yuan and told him I just heard about the situation from the outside, "But I don't understand, he made you almost
