The prince is no longer a man

Pei Rong came to Tingxue Pavilion as promised, when Ning Shiqing saw him, he repeatedly pulled Pei Rong to sit down.

It's rare to see Ning Shiqing with such an enthusiastic appearance. If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Pei Rong's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be calm and asked: "Young Master Ning seems to be in a good mood today."

Ning Shiqing took out a booklet and said with a smile: "Didn't Rong Shizi say last time that he wanted to hear a new play? The time was too short, so I just wrote out the lyrics, let Shizi take a look."

After reading the lyrics, it is equivalent to reading the content of the opera, and listening to it at that time will not feel fresh at all.

No one would be willing to repeat the stories they have already heard, Pei Rong shook his head: "There is no rush, I will know when I get on stage?"

"But the source of this poem is thanks to Rong Shizi's words after drinking. I can't think of such a bizarre thing."

Pei Rong paused for a moment, then laughed twice: "Wine... What I said after drinking? But I can't remember what I said that day."

"Young Master Rong forgot, but I remember it clearly."

Ning Shiqing rolled his eyes and smiled like a fox: "Young Master Rong, do you want to know?"

Pei Rong: I always feel that something bad is waiting for me.

Pei Rong coughed twice, with a look of indifference, "Drunken talk is just nonsense."

"No," Ning Shiqing said with a smile, "it should be the truth after drinking."

Pei Rong: "..."

"How, Rong Shizi really doesn't want to know?" Ning Shiqing patiently set the hook, and waited for Pei Rong to take the bait.

"You said it so cryptically, I'm really curious."

Under Ning Shiqing's "three reminders and four invitations", Pei Rongcai pretended to be a little thoughtful, and asked, "Tell me, what kind of truth makes you care so much?"

With a "pop", Ning Shiqing closed the folding fan, leaned over, and said something to Pei Rong.

After finishing speaking, Ning Shiqing opened the folding fan again with a "wow", waved his hand and fanned lightly, and said with a half-smile: "How?"

Pei Rong laughed stiffly, and asked Ning Shiqing: "Do you believe it?"

"I believe."

Pei Rong was even more surprised: "Do you really believe it?"

"Of course, why should I lie to you?"

Ning Shiqing still smiled like a fox, and she gave a definite answer again, which surprised Pei Rong, and at the same time made her feel a little better.

"Then... why do you believe it?"

"Well..." Ning Shiqing shook his fan and said, "You may not know how obvious you are. A person will not change for no reason. At first I was also very curious and wanted to know the reason."

"After you told me that day, after thinking about it, I felt that all of this made sense, even though the reason sounds a bit unreasonable."

"What's even more surprising," Ning Shiqing said with a wider smile, "is that you admitted it so quickly, and I even rushed out a booklet."

"Then what are you going to do with this booklet?"

"This booklet is about everything I saw happened between you and the prince. After learning the reason, I exaggerated it a bit. If you don't admit it, I will scare you and ask Xue Ge to rehearse the song. Come out, and everyone in the city will know."

Ning Shiqing said it very calmly, even with a hint of teasing in it.

Pei Rong was a little angry at first, but seeing Ning Shiqing's eyes smiling, she soon understood: "But you won't do that."

"Yes, of course I won't," Ning Shiqing said with a smile, "It's a secret if only one person knows about it."

"Now that you know, what are you going to do?"

Ning Shiqing folded his folding fan and spit out two words: "Watching a play."

Pei Rong: "?"

"Watching a play alone is also very interesting, isn't it?"

Dare Ning Shiqing was watching his play!

Pei Rong was so angry that he was about to pounce on him, but he didn't expect that Ning Shiqing, a scholar who didn't look much stronger than Pei Rong, would hold Pei Rong lightly.

"Why should Rong Shizi be angry? I still have something to say."

Pei Rong said angrily, "What else do you want to say?"

"I am extremely honored to know Rong Shizi's secret. I think, with this involvement, I must be Rong Shizi's most special friend. After all, Rong Shizi can't find another person to say these things to him." .”

What Ning Shiqing said was right, Pei Rong really couldn't find anyone else to talk to, but from Ning Shiqing's mouth, there was a sense that he was the only one, Pei Rong refused to admit it, and said stiffly: "Why can't you?" Tell others, don’t think that you can do anything if you know.”

"Ha ha--"

Ning Shiqing smiled lightly, and said slowly: "Sheng Yuan's mouth has never been controlled. As for Concubine Shun, I'm afraid she will lock Shizi Rong in the palace in fear until she gets through that day safely. Rong Shizi doesn't have many friends, other than that, what else can Rong Shizi talk to?"

"So, in the future, if Rong Shizi has any troubles, you can come to me, and I will accompany you at any time."

Pei Rong was choked speechless, Ning Shiqing looked back with a faint smile, unmoved.

After leaving Tingxue Pavilion, Pei Rong turned around and found Sheng Yuan.

He really didn't know much about Ning Shiqing, he only knew that he was the eldest son of Prime Minister Ning, and that the current empress was his aunt, these were all known things, other than that, Pei Rong didn't know anything about it.

Sheng Yuan also had a feud with Ning Shiqing, Pei Rong planned to ask, see how much Sheng Yuan knew, maybe he could find something from it.

Pei Rong's goal was very clear, Ning Shiqing knew about his most important matter, if he didn't get back something, it would be a bit hypocritical.

After hearing what Pei Rong said, Sheng Yuan frowned on the spot, and said everything in one go.

It turned out that Prime Minister Ning had intentionally mentioned to Sheng Yuan's father that he hoped that the two families would move around more. Apart from their elders, it would be better for the younger generations of the two families to become friends, and they would also take care of them in the future.

At that time, the two fathers were ready for their sons to enter official careers.

The two met each other very unwillingly. As soon as they met, Sheng Yuan enthusiastically told Ning Shiqing about his plans and threatened that he would never become an official!

But Ning Shiqing was lucky, he had a good chat with Sheng Yuan on the first day, but then he turned around and told Sheng Yuan's father all about Sheng Yuan's ambition to become a martial artist.

As a result, Sheng Yuan was locked in the room by his father for a month, and even took away his hidden sword.

As soon as Sheng Yuan was released, he went looking for him, who knew that Ning Shiqing only replied with eight words, "well-developed limbs, simple mind".

Ever since, the two stopped communicating at all.

"Tell me, is Ning Shiqing a hypocrite!"

After hearing this, Pei Rong already understood in his heart.

Ning Shiqing cut the mess with a sharp knife, but the knife fell on Sheng Yuan.

Pei Rong patted Sheng Yuan's shoulder, nodded emphatically, and said nothing.

"But..." Pei Rong asked: "Prime Minister Ning has a higher official position than your father, no matter how you think about it, you should go to find Ning Shiqing..."

"I don't know about that," Sheng Yuan shook his head, and asked again: "I forgot to ask, Pei Rong, what do you want Ning Shiqing to do?"

Pei Rong gritted her teeth, and said with great enthusiasm: "I want to find out his braids!"

Within two days, Ning Shiqing heard that Pei Rong was asking about him frequently.

Ning Shiqing smiled helplessly, Pei Rong didn't believe him, but what he said were all words that couldn't be more true.

"If he really wants to know, why doesn't he just ask me?"

Ning Shiqing suddenly became interested, and ordered: "Get ready and go to the Shun Palace."

At this moment, Duan Jingxun was in the Shun Palace, with a cold face and unhappiness written all over his body.

On the way here, he heard about Pei Rong inquiring about Ning Shiqing, and thought of something wrong with Pei Rong a few days ago.

Obviously both of them were fine before, but after Ning Shiqing appeared, they suddenly changed, making it hard for Duan Jingxun not to wonder if there is some kind of connection between them.

Originally, he wanted to take Pei Rong to see what Ning Shiqing looked like after being drunk, but after hearing these words today, Duan Jingxun didn't have such thoughts at all.

Duan Jingxun's arrival also caught Pei Rong by surprise.

He was eating the lychee that Duan Jingxun sent last time, yes, he couldn't help but eat it.

As soon as he looked up, he found Duan Jingxun appearing in front of him. With a shake of his hand, the tender and juicy lychee rolled down from his hand.

"Prince," Pei Rong pushed the lychees over a little bit, "Do you want to eat lychees?"

"Don't eat."

Duan Jingxun sat down beside Pei Rong, and looked at him several times hesitant to speak.

It's hard for Pei Rong to pretend not to notice, it's really

Duan Jingxun was too obvious, Pei Rong even wondered if Duan Jingxun deliberately asked himself to ask questions.

"Does the prince have anything to say?"

"I didn't," Duan Jingxun said, "I thought it was you who wanted to say or ask."

Duan Jingxun knew something about Pei Rong who wanted to know about Ning Shiqing, and if Pei Rong asked him, he might not be able to reveal a little bit.

"Me neither, I..."

Pei Rong didn't think about asking Duan Jingxun, and before he finished subconsciously refusing, the servant suddenly came to report that it was Ning Shiqing who came to the mansion and wanted to see the young prince.

Pei Rong and Duan Jingxun said in unison: "Ning Shiqing is here?"

"It turns out that the prince is also there," Ning Shiqing walked in while speaking, and said with a smile, "Young Shizi and the prince seem surprised to see me."

The two asked again, "What are you doing here?"

After finishing talking, Pei Rong subconsciously moved his eyes away, as if he had a guilty conscience.

Duan Jingxun looked at Pei Rong's uneasy and trembling eyelashes for a long time before looking at Ning Shiqing: "It's rare to see you come to Shun Wangfu, so why?"

"It's not a big deal, I just heard something, so I came to talk to Rong Shizi."

"What a coincidence, I also heard something today."

Only Pei Rong looked puzzled: "What did you all hear?"

"It doesn't matter," Duan Jingxun waved his hand and said, "You came just in time, I happened to get a good bottle of wine, last time you promised to have a few drinks with me."

"Chang Bin, bring in the wine."

After Duan Jingxun gave his orders, Chang Bin put a jar of wine on the table.

Before the seal was opened, Pei Rong could already smell the aroma of wine.

Ning Shiqing also sighed: "The aroma of the wine is strong and strong, good wine."

Duan Jingxun tore open the seal, and said with a half-smile, "Since it's good wine, you should drink more."

Pei Rong, who has no capacity for alcohol but is gluttonous, felt a little itchy, and couldn't help asking: "What about me?"

Duan Jingxun pushed the pot of lychees back: "You eat lychees."

Pei Rong: "Tch."
