so long

Eight years ago.

Yin Chao, Wude 47 years.

summer.

The summer flowers in Dongming City are in full bloom, and the streets and alleys are extremely bustling. In the morning market, you can see hawkers and business travelers everywhere.

But the most prosperous place is the street next to Prince Ning's Mansion.

The gate of Prince Ning's Mansion is only open all the year round, and there are thousands of guest rooms. Prince Ning's style is unparalleled in the world, and his guests and friends are all over the north and south of the river.

Early in the morning, a lot of guests gathered in the nearest teahouse of Prince Ning's Mansion. They all looked curiously at the long line of carriages parked at the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion, and the butler who kept yelling and walking back and forth.

Out of curiosity, the guests who came here in the teahouse asked the guest at the same table, "Why is there such a commotion in Prince Ning's Mansion?" The guest didn't seem to care much, and sat with a teacup in one hand and glutinous rice cake in the other, and glanced at it. The big posture at the gate of Prince Ning's mansion slowly wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said helplessly: "Lord Ning travels twice a year, and everyone in Dongming City knows...Brother, is he an outsider?"

The civilian guest was still wearing a package, nodded embarrassedly, and said: "Exactly, I have been famous for a long time, and I wanted to meet Prince Ning, and then visit this capital, but now it seems that it is not the right time to come. .”

The serious-looking guest who was being questioned was wearing a light blue robe, his long hair was simply tied up, and he was only holding it with a simple and unmodified hairpin. The rest of his hair was hanging behind him, and his hands The image of a stereotyped literati with no strength to restrain a chicken, but when he heard the strong regretful tone in the voice of the commoner guest, he couldn't help but chuckle and laugh.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

The man in blue quickly waved his hand and said: "No, nothing, but you can wait for Prince Ning to meet you after he returns to the mansion. A trip is only over a month. There are countless guest rooms in Prince Ning's mansion. Why don't you just wait there? It’s much more convenient and interesting to go to the first class and get to know other disciples of Prince Ning’s Mansion, and to visit Dongming City together.”

The commoner guest's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded his thanks repeatedly.

After the man in blue said goodbye with a smile, he asked Xiaoer for another glutinous rice cake and red bean bun to take away.

The commoner guests saw the man in blue walking straight towards the gate of Prince Ning's mansion. At the same time, Prince Ning was surrounded by his servants under the service of the housekeeper. The temperature of the whole street became much higher, and pedestrians flocked. Salute, see the prince.

I saw that the image of Lord Ning and the ordinary guest was far different, but it was enough to make people's eyes shine!Lord Ning was wearing a simple but extremely expensive white suit, with a slight smile on his mouth, with a slight alienation but unbearable intimacy, his eyes were black and white, his red lips were extremely eye-catching, and his temperament was unspeakably noble .

When the commoner guest came back to his senses, Prince Ning had already been invited into Jinding Hongying's carriage, and then the man in blue got into the same carriage!

A group of people and horses left Dongming City with the welcome of the residents of Dongming City, and embarked on the road to Beitong City.

There are a total of eight carriages in a row, and only three of them are occupied by people, and the rest are all necessary supplies for various outings.

The biggest carriage was taken by the prince, the steward rode around on horseback, and dozens of guards rode around to protect the noble people in the carriage.

As soon as the man in blue got into the carriage, he casually threw the freshly packed snacks to Prince Ning early. While sitting casually on the soft couch, he lost his usual serious literati appearance and said with a lazy smile, "My lord, are you still waiting for me?" It's really a 'flower name' spread far and wide! Not to mention that today you meet someone who comes to see you because of your reputation, every time you go out, this posture is astounding! Even the emperor is nothing more than this."

Hearing what the man in blue said, Prince Ning, who had just taken a bite of the red bean bun, licked his fingers that were stained with red bean paste, and softly licked the pulp of his thumb with the tip of his bright red tongue from his full lips. Glancing at a friend who was not in good shape next to him, he said, "Yi Jiuchen, you are so open-minded in front of me."

Yi Jiuchen and the prince are about the same age, and they have known each other for more than ten years. When there are outsiders, they are both serious and serious. When they are alone, they are too casual.One is the emperor's most beloved prince, and the other is a half-hearted warrior who came out of nowhere to travel in the countryside. They met at a post in the desert and have known each other since then.

"Remember to put the red bean bag from your mouth when the prince teaches others, otherwise it won't have any power at all." Yi Jiuchen said with a smile, "It's no wonder you are reserved every time you eat in the hall, so you only dare to let me give it to you." You run errands to buy these snacks that don't fit your princely status."

Ning Jingyao glanced at the man in blue, and without hesitation stuffed a red bean bag into the man's mouth, then curled the corners of her mouth, and said, "How about you let me be quiet early? No I just want to go back to your Beitong City to see the little one you picked up before, so happy."

Ning Jingyao explained the mood of the man in blue clothes, with an inexplicable teasing taste in his words: "I never saw you so happy when you came to see me... Jiuchen, if I'm not happy at all, I'll take that little thing you picked up." Be careful." After saying that, he took a special look at Yi Jiuchen's expression.

"Forget it, forget it, I won't joke with you, I can't blame you every time." Yi Jiuchen took off the red bean bag stuffed in his mouth, and smiled helplessly.

In the carriage, there was a slight smile from time to time, and then there was a melodious flute sound. The butler knew that this was the tune that the master would play when he was in a good mood. Behind Jingyao's carriage, the young man in another carriage heard...

The young man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with black and beautiful hair reaching just to his waist, and he looked very good-looking, especially those pair of amorous eyebrows and eyes.

When the young man heard the sound of the flute, he raised his head abruptly, quietly lifted the curtain on the carriage a little, looked at the carriage in front, and was holding a small Xiao Xiao in his hand. Looking at the carriage in front of him, as if he was about to see through it, there was longing and brightness in his eyes that he was not too good at hiding.

The butler turned his head inadvertently, just in time to see the prince's only young son sticking out half of his head from the carriage to look at the prince's carriage, and when he found someone saw him, he immediately stuck his head back.

The housekeeper dutifully drove to the boy's carriage, knocked on the wall of the carriage, and asked in a low voice through the lowered curtain:

"The young master wants to be in the same carriage with the master? The villain will go back and tell the master."

The 12-year-old boy's tense throat seemed a little thirsty, but after looking at Xiao Hou, who was one size smaller in his hand, he replied slowly: "No need." Care, "Don't bother Daddy, I'll just listen."

The steward knew that the young man had bought a pair of jade flutes from nowhere a few days ago, one big and one small, they looked very nice together, and dedicated them to the prince, the prince also thought it was very good at the time, but he only took the big one , Said that the young ones should be kept by themselves.

The housekeeper thought for a while and said: "When the master came out, he only brought the Xiao that the young master gave..." After finishing speaking, he consciously left.

And the young man who heard what the housekeeper said was stunned, looked down at Xiao in his hand, his ears were red...

After a while, I finally couldn't hide the smile on my face, and murmured:

"That's great... Daddy is using what I gave you..."
