The prince is no longer a man

On the other side, Sheng Yuan, who didn't find the pheasant, came back dejectedly. After a long time, he didn't see Pei Rong and Duan Jingxun. The two had been away for too long, and even Huo Qin couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he planned to look for it. Look for it.

Sheng Yuan originally wanted to go together, but it was really not good to leave Jiang Lingxi alone in the wilderness, so Sheng Yuan was asked to take care of Jiang Lingxi temporarily, while Huo Qin went to find Pei Rong and the others alone.

As soon as Pei Rong heard Duan Jingxun say that he was drunk, he quickly jumped off his back, how dare he let him carry it.

Pei Rong was not very drunk at all, Duan Jingxun walked with him on his back for a long time, the breeze was gentle along the way, the drunkenness had long since been blown away.

As soon as Pei Rong landed, he saw Duan Jingxun looking at him with a strange and persistent look: "Now, you are sober."

Pei Rong: "..."

"Yes, I'm sober, why... what's wrong?"

It's not to blame for Pei Rong's conclusion, it's really Duan Jingxun's expression, Pei Rong really couldn't stand it.

Hearing Pei Rong's answer, Duan Jingxun bowed his head in silence for a while, then raised his head, walked towards Pei Rong slowly and gently.

Duan Jingxun got closer and closer, and when he was half a foot away from Pei Rong, he stopped and looked at Pei Rong quietly with his eyes, as if he had a lot to say to him.

And Duan Jingxun seemed to have made up his mind, his thin lips parted silently, and he tried hard to squeeze out a voice from his throat: "Pei Rong, actually I..."

But Pei Rong looked at it in a different way.

Pei Rong has never seen Duan Jingxun's formation before, those beautiful phoenix eyes are cold and clear, Pei Rong's heart trembles when he sees it.

Especially now, staring at himself without blinking, like a beast staring at its prey, it will pounce on it when it sees the right moment, bite its throat, and swallow it into its stomach.

Pei Rong didn't want to be Duan Jingxun's prey. After being stunned for a moment, Pei Rong subconsciously took a few steps back, but he couldn't walk steadily. He stumbled and fell backwards.

The feeling of weightlessness was only a moment, when a pair of strong hands behind him hugged him, and he fell onto a warm and generous chest.

Pei Rong looked back, it was Huo Qin.

"Rong Shizi, are you okay?" Huo Qin had a youthful smile on his tough and handsome face, and he just looked at Pei Rong with a smile, as if he was saying that Pei Rong couldn't even walk well, so he would fail.

Pei Rong was a little embarrassed by Huo Qin's smile, stood up quickly, and waved his hands again and again to say that he was fine, but he felt so ashamed in his heart, why did he always make a fool of himself in front of the little general.

Huo Qin didn't notice Pei Rong's careful thoughts, he put his hands behind his back, nodded to Duan Jingxun and said, "Prince."

Duan Jingxun frowned slightly, the expression on his face was not very good-looking, but he quickly put away the emotion on his face, and asked Huo Qin: "Why are you here?"

"You have been out for too long, we are all a little worried, so I came out to find you."

Huo Qin said the reason, looked at Pei Rong again, and said: "Pheasant chickens should not be found at this time of year. If Mr. Rong wants to eat them, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Pei Rong laughed dryly and explained: "Actually... I don't like chicken."

"Sure enough, the crown prince is right," Huo Qin smiled and asked again: "The prince Rong had drunk a glass of wine by mistake earlier, how is it now?"

"It's okay, the wine is already sober." Pei Rong waved his hands nonchalantly, and then smiled shyly, "I told the little general to watch the joke."

The two were talking, Duan Jingxun suddenly passed between the two of them coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Let's go, go back."

Shun Wangfu.

Concubine Shun was a little surprised by the sudden visit of the Fifth Prince Duan Yueli who had never seen her before.

These days, Duan Yueli is a very popular figure in the palace, the emperor likes it very much, no one in the capital knows it, and the fifth prince never shows friendship with others, so while Princess Shun is doing all the courtesy, she really doesn't understand the other party Why did he suddenly come to Shun Palace.

Duan Yueli seemed to see Princess Shun's doubts, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisite face: "Princess, don't worry too much, I'm out of the palace today to do business for my father, and I just passed by Prince Shun's mansion, thinking of the prestige of Prince Shun I’ve never been outside, so I’m here to visit.”

"It turns out that the fifth prince has a heart." Princess Shun replied with a smile, talking to Duan Yueli about Prince Shun.

While listening, Duan Yueli nodded with a smile from time to time, and occasionally glanced around, as if looking for something.

Seeing this, Princess Shun asked him: "The fifth prince, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Princess Shun laughed at me," Duan Yueli said, "I saw that the palace has its own majesty, but there is no extravagance, so I took a second look."

When Princess Shun heard this, the expression on her face was stunned for a moment, then she quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile: "These emperors know how the palace is."

There was a hint of doubt in Duan Yueli's eyes, he didn't mention the emperor just now, and he was sincere in praising the majesty of Shun Palace.

But Princess Shun seemed to think that he was here to inspect Prince Shun's mansion on behalf of the emperor, and Princess Shun didn't seem to complain at all, as if she had long been numb to these unwarranted temptations.

These thoughts were only for a moment, and during the period of time, he only lowered his head to drink tea, but did not explain aloud, and thoughts flowed in his eyes.

There was a brief silence in the main hall, but this silence was soon broken.

Pei Rong and Jiang Lingxi came back together, before they entered the door, Jiang Lingxi yelled sweetly: "Auntie, Cousin Rong and I are back!"

As soon as Pei Rong entered the main hall, he saw Duan Yueli in the hall.

"Five princes?"

Duan Yueli nodded, and responded: "Pei Rong, just now I was thinking, why didn't I see you, it turned out to be..."

At the end of the conversation, Duan Yueli looked at Jiang Lingxi, as if he was thinking about how to address him.

Jiang Lingxi, who was glanced at by Duan Yueli, shivered inexplicably. She suddenly felt that the big ice cube was really inappropriate for Duan Jingxun. Part of the reason is that Duan Jingxun usually doesn't even look at her.

But it was the first time seeing the fifth prince in front of him, so why did he seem to regard himself as an enemy?

Princess Shun didn't notice this, she was introducing Jiang Lingxi's identity to Duan Yueli: "This is Pei Rong's cousin."

After finishing speaking, he pushed Jiang Lingxi to Duan Yueli: "Lingxi, meet the fifth prince."

Jiang Lingxi saluted Duan Yueli shyly, then returned to Princess Shun with her head down without saying a word.

Concubine Shun was a little dumbfounded by Jiang Lingxi. She was usually a generous and bright child, but she became shy today.

Duan Yueli didn't care about these things, and said to Pei Rong: "Pei Rong, this is the first time I come to Shun Palace, why don't you show me around?"

Naturally, Pei Rong would not refuse, and walked to the backyard with Duan Yueli.

It was also at this time that Pei Rong discovered that Duan Yueli was wearing casual clothes today, but he also had a delicate and beautiful demeanor when he wore them.

Besides, even casual clothes are clothes that outsiders cannot afford to wear. After he was given the Chonghua Palace, he was supposed to be raised with the best delicacies. , no different from before, still a frail and fragile teenager.

Thinking of Duan Yueli's weak body in the past, Pei Rong couldn't help asking: "Is the fifth prince in good health recently?"

Duan Yueli curled his lips into a smile, but his eyes were still indifferent: "I'm in Chonghua Palace now, everything is fine, and naturally my body is also fine."

Pei Rong was silent all of a sudden, Duan Yueli spoke lightly, but when he listened, he felt a sense of self-mockery and contempt.

Duan Yueli didn't want to talk too much about Chonghua Palace, but instead said: "I came to Shun Palace today, and I didn't know that you still have a cousin."

"My cousin just came to live in the palace a while ago, alas..." Pei Rong couldn't help sighing when he thought of how many times Princess Shun let him play with Jiang Lingxi, and because of Duan Jingxun today.

"Today you went out to play with your cousin, you should be happy, why are you still sighing?" Duan Yueli asked calmly with a smile on his lips.

"It's not because of my cousin," Pei Rong said, "I originally called a few friends today, but I didn't expect to meet the prince..."

In the middle of speaking, Pei Rong suddenly realized that these troublesome things should not be said, so he pursed his lips and did not say a word.

When Duan Yueli heard Pei Rong mention Duan Jingxun, Duan Yueli snorted lightly, but no matter how much he didn't like it, he could clearly see what happened to the two of them. Even though Duan Yueli didn't want to hear it, he But he couldn't control his urge to know.

The smile on the corner of Duan Yueli's mouth widened, and she asked him softly, "Why didn't you say anything?"

"It's not something important, let's not talk about it."

Pei Rong just smiled casually, with an indifferent look on his face.

In Duan Yueli's eyes, I want him to know what happened to Duan Jingxun and Pei Rong.

It's just a little bit inappropriate to continue asking, Duan Yueli lowered her eyelashes, her expression was a little fragile: "Actually, I was very envious when I heard you say that you went out to play with your friends. To tell you the truth, this is my first time today. Once out of the palace."

"What?" Pei Rong's eyes widened in surprise, and his voice involuntarily raised his voice: "Is this the first time you have left the palace today?"

"Yes," Duan Yueli smiled bitterly, "I used to...you know that there is no chance of getting out of the palace."

Pei Rong's natural empathy for others suddenly overflowed, he patted his chest and promised Duan Yueli: "Then if you want to play in the future, come to me! I know how delicious and fun it is in the capital I'll take you everywhere!"

Duan Yueli heard the words, his eyes lit up a little, and the young man's exquisite facial features showed a rare freshness: "So, I'm here today?"

"You came to see me today?"

"Hush," Duan Yueli made a silent movement, and whispered: "You must not tell others, I am here to find you specially."
