The prince is no longer a man

Although Pei Rong didn't verbally give Ning Shiqing a clear reply, but on the second day, listening to Xue Ge singing a new play was like a cat's paw, tickling Pei Rong's heart.

Seeing that it was getting closer and closer to the time Ning Shiqing spoke, Pei Rong couldn't sit still, and went out without hesitation.

After coming to Tingxue Pavilion, Pei Rong didn't see Ning Shiqing, and he didn't agree to Ning Shiqing, which also meant to refuse by default, and Ning Shiqing thought so too.

Pei Rong didn't care about it, and sat in his old seat as usual, in a small private room separated by a screen, but the theater building was quiet, not like the lively opening that a new song should have.

Pei Rong recruited a person and asked: "Your new play is opening today, why is there no one?"

The man was a little surprised: "How did Rong Shizi know that there is a new play today?"

Then without waiting for Pei Rong to speak, he hurriedly said: "I don't know too much about it, I just heard that the composer is unwilling to say anything."

Seeing that there was nothing to ask, a gong had already been struck heavily on the stage, Pei Rong motioned for that person to go down, and listened quite seriously.

The actors on the stage babbled and sang, waving the water sleeves in their hands smartly, flowing like clouds and flowing water, with a figure like a weak willow supporting the wind. When the most exciting part was sung, Pei Rong couldn't help applauding.

Different from the love between men and women that I heard last time, this play is about a man in a desperate situation. With his wisdom and perseverance, he survives step by step, and finally becomes a university student respected by thousands of people. hero.

Until the end of the play, Pei Rong was still a little bit unsatisfied, but the composer was reluctant to say anything about such a good play, so he couldn't help being even more curious.

Pei Rong called the man just now again, and asked: "You said just now that the composer is unwilling to disclose it today, what do you mean, the composer is also in the theater today?"

The man looked at the screen and nodded: "Yes."

"That's great," Pei Rong couldn't help but feel friendly, and said, "Where is that man now, call him out quickly."

"Is Rong Shizi going to see him?"

Seeing the hesitation on this person's face, Pei Rong couldn't help asking: "But what's the problem?"

"It's not that there is any difficulty, it's just that the young master said that anyone who wants to see him must give him a reason, otherwise he won't show up."

"Why do I think so?" Pei Rong said with a smile, "I want to see him, of course I want to get acquainted with him and become friends."

"Your Majesty Rong, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, can I still lie to people?"

Seeing that the other party was still playing tricks, Pei Rong repeatedly urged: "Go and invite the composer, and there is no need to talk about the rest."

As soon as Pei Rong finished speaking, there was a "pop" sound from the other side of the screen, which sounded like the sound of closing a fan, and then the figure swayed, and someone came out from the other side of the screen.

To make it so mysterious, Pei Rong became even more curious, and couldn't help asking: "Is it him?"

The servant nodded, then nodded at the person who came and shouted: "Young Master Ning."

Mr. Ning?

Hearing this address, Pei Rong felt a little strange. He only saw a white corner of his clothes on the screen. The person who came was dressed in white Shengxue, held a folding fan, and had warm eyes. It was Ning Shiqing.

Pei Rong never thought that the person who composed the music was actually Ning Shiqing, and immediately said in shock: "It's you?"

Ning Shiqing saw Pei Rong's expression in his eyes, and smiled faintly: "Master Rong seems surprised to see me?"

Not to mention Pei Rong, anyone who knows that Ning Shiqing can write lyrics and compose music will probably be more surprised than Pei Rong.

After all, these things can really only be used for entertainment, no matter how good the writing is, it will not be on the stage, but Ning Shiqing is a well-known son in Beijing, gentle and moist as jade, with first-class poetry, no one dares to miss him will do such things.

"You...Since you don't want to say anything, why did you let me know?" Pei Rong couldn't help asking.

"I only said that there is a new play today, and I didn't say anything else. If Rong Shizi didn't come today, or didn't want to meet the composer, you wouldn't know about it."

"Then you're quite accurate," Pei Rong said, "but in the same way, you can also choose not to see me."

"Rong Shizi has said that he is willing to be friends with me, how can I refuse? What's more, when we were in the paddock last time," Ning Shiqing smiled slightly at this point, "Does Rong Shizi still remember?"

Pei Rong: "..."

Of course he remembered that it was Ning Shiqing who said that he wanted to be friends with him, but he didn't have a good face and responded coldly.

Now the positions of the two have changed, the person Pei Rong wanted to be friends with turned out to be Ning Shiqing who had rejected him.

This is very embarrassing.

Ning Shiqing seemed to see what Pei Rong was thinking, sighed lightly, and said, "Could it be that Mr. Rong wants to admit it?"

"I……"

"Just now someone asked you again and again. I heard Rong Shizi's affirmation, so I was willing to show up. Rong Shizi, I have no other intentions for you. Why did you tease me like this?"

Ning Shiqing frowned slightly, what she said made Pei Rong's face blush, and she felt that she had become a heartless person in the storybook, Ning Shiqing was a poor person who was tortured and bullied, let alone Pei Rong who said it himself If so, there is no reason to deny it.

Pei Rong immediately patted Ning Shiqing's shoulder with a serious look, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Don't pay attention to what I said before, from now on, you and I will be friends."

Finally, he nodded heavily and repeated: "Well, my friend!"

Ning Shiqing raised her lips and smiled, like a satiated fox, narrowing her eyes slightly.

The next day, Zhenbao Pavilion sent someone to bring the sword to the mansion. The sword was packed in a high-quality ebony box. Pei Rong ordered Sixi to carry the sword box and walk directly to the Hou's mansion.

After arriving at Hou's mansion, Pei Rong reported his identity, and the servants in the mansion led Pei Rong to the main hall, and Huo Qin came out after a while.

I saw Huo Qin wearing a thin dress, with fine sweat on his forehead, his face flushed, and his whole body was emitting heat continuously.

Pei Rong couldn't help asking: "Little General, who is this?"

Huo Qin took the sweat towel handed by the maid, wiped his face, and said: "I just had a sword competition in the backyard, and it was a little messy. Don't take it seriously, my lord."

When Pei Rong heard this, he smiled and said: "Is there anyone in Beijing who can compete with the little general?"

Huo Qin glanced at the back hall, before he could answer, he heard Pei Rong say: "It just so happens that I brought a sword for the little general today."

Pei Rong winked at Sixi, and Sixi handed over the sword box politely. Huo Qin looked away, a little surprised: "Why did Rong Shizi suddenly give me something?"

Pei Rong: "I haven't had time to thank the little general. I saw this sword in the Zhenbao Pavilion. I thought it was very suitable for the little general, so I gave it as a gift. Thank you for the kindness of the little general when he was in the paddock."

This is Pei Rong's wish, of course Huo Qin will not refuse.

With a sound of "Keng", the sword came out of its sheath, the body of the sword glowed with silver light, and the blade was sharp. Huo Qin couldn't help praising: "Good!"

Seeing Huo Qin's reaction, Pei Rong felt that he did not make a mistake, and said with a smile: "It's good that the little general likes it."

Huo Qin played a beautiful sword flower casually, and Pei Rong's eyes shone brightly. He held his chin and said, "I don't know if I can see how the little general kills the enemy with his sword."

Huo Qin smiled when he heard the words, put the sword back into the sheath neatly, and said: "The only way to kill the enemy is on the battlefield. In the capital, I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity."

When Pei Rong heard this, he immediately said: "To tell you the truth, the little general, the night I was trapped in the paddock, the little general talked with me all night long, talking about a lot of things in the northwest, I really yearn for it, and I don't know if I will have this in the future." I have the opportunity to go to the northwest to take a look.”

Huo Qin raised his eyebrows and said: "The Northwest is desolate and difficult, I thought Rong Shizi didn't take it to heart."

"How could it be!" Pei Rong retorted subconsciously, and said, "I had this idea that night, and I just saw the sword flower played by the little general, so I couldn't help but say it."

"Hahaha——" Huo Qin said with a hearty smile, "When I have a chance in the future, I'll take you to the northwest for a walk, but in the northwest, you can't even practice bowing every day and want to be lazy and hide."

Hearing Huo Qin teasing himself, Pei Rong smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Not only the northwest, but also the frontier, I also want to visit, my father is there."

Speaking of this, Pei Rong showed embarrassment, afraid that people would think that he was still inseparable from his parents, and explained in a low voice: "I haven't seen my father for so long, I have even forgotten what he looks like."

Huo Qin couldn't say any comforting words, he could only pat Pei Rong on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "There will be this opportunity in the future."

Pei Rong responded lightly, not knowing whether he believed it or not, then Pei Rong told the story of his entry into the palace again, and finally concluded: "I will remember your words, the matter of the paddock is not limited to the queen, I Even the crown prince has been concealed."

Suddenly there was only a "clang" sound in the back hall, which seemed to be the sound of porcelain falling to the ground. Pei Rong was startled by the sound: "Is there anyone in the back hall?"

"It's nothing, Rong Shizi don't need to panic."

There was a slight pause in the voice, Huo Qin couldn't help but look towards the back hall, with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Prince... Actually, you don't need to hide it from him."

"I know you told me it wasn't him," Pei Rong seemed a little distressed: "But...whether it's him or not doesn't conflict with hiding it from him."

"Why did Rong Shizi say that?" Huo Qin could not help asking with a frown, hearing the warning from Pei Rong's words.

"Anyway, sooner or later there will be such a day..."

Pei Rong muttered in a low voice, but Huo Qin didn't hear it clearly, and asked: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing." Pei Rong shook his head and said, "It's my own business after all. I don't want to involve the prince because of my own business."

"But the prince..."

Huo Qin subconsciously looked towards the back hall, and was about to tell about Duan Jingxun's rescue that night, but Pei Rong interrupted him lightly: "Don't talk about the prince, little general, is there anything I can do about the paddock? "

"You didn't say anything about the attack this time. Presumably, you can dispel the worries of the people behind the scenes. However, in order to prevent accidents, Rong Shizi should act more cautiously."

Pei Rong nodded, but the mood at this moment was not as relaxed as when he came here, the sword was delivered, Pei Rong got up to leave, and then left the Hou Mansion.

Huo Qin shook his head helplessly, and strode towards the back hall.

In the back hall, Duan Jingxun's expression was gloomy, and there were shattered pieces of porcelain at his feet.

"Prince, have you heard everything?" Huo Qin asked.

Duan Jingxun turned around coldly, with a low tone: "The sword competition just now is not over yet, let's continue."
