Salted fish, he thought about it

Jiang Juan was still waiting for him to look at the painting, and was taken aback for a while, but he quickly replied: "I don't think so."

What he said was not good, but Jiang Juan was still smiling with his face on his face. When his eyelashes blinked, the light and shadow floated, which was so beautiful.

Xue Fang lifted his eyelids, his expression darkened for a moment, but only for a moment, he also smiled, and asked Jiang Juan leisurely: "Why is it not good?"

He had a good tone and a gentle smile, but there was an extremely dangerous aura about him.

Jiang Juan's slow perception of the atmosphere was confirmed again at this moment, he said slowly: "Last time I asked the prince to care about me, but the prince refused, so I can't do it now either."

"...I also want to save face."

The last time he was in Miaoling Temple, Jiang Juan knew something about the prince and his mother and concubine, and he didn't want the prince to be coerced by the past again, so he let him care about himself in the future.

But the prince rejected him.

"That's it."

Xue Fangli smiled again, his bright red lips lifted slightly, the smile was regrettable and meaningless.

It is good to agree, but it is not good not to agree. As early as when the question was asked, Xue Fang already had the answer in his heart.

No matter what the boy wanted, he only wanted this answer.

Ask Jiang Juan, just to show that he is a "good guy".

The only regret is that if the boy is more obedient and the answer is more pleasant, he may be more pleasing to him, and he will be more patient.

What a pity.

Xue Fangli lowered his eyes, but heard Jiang Juan ask him again: "My lord, what's the matter with you."

Xue Fangli: "Huh?"

Jiang Juan said depressedly: "I said no, so why don't you ask again, what if I change my mind?"

He didn't ask, so Jiang Juan had to hint him again: "You rejected me once, and I rejected you once. Now we are even, lord, I think you can ask again."

Xue Fangli was startled, another bunch of fireworks suddenly rose into the sky, and the streamer fell, bright and grand, Jiang Juan looked up at the fireworks, but he stared at Jiang Juan.

After a while, Xue Fangli smiled softly, the gloom in his heart was swept away, and he smiled happily and easily.

Jiang Juan turned to him and asked, "My lord, what are you laughing at?"

Xue Fangli looked at the scroll, "This painting...have you opened it and seen it?"

Jiang Juan shook his head, Xue Fangli saw this, and slowly unfolded the scroll in front of him.

Fire trees and silver flowers never go night.

They are watching fireworks, and they are also painting fireworks.

Jiang Juan couldn't help but said, "What a coincidence."

Xue Fangli nodded, "Yes."

In those years, he never forgot a single bit, bit by bit. He learned Danqing to please that woman, and he painted one portrait after another for her to please her.

Because of Emperor Hongxing's repeated pleas.

——"You are her flesh and blood, you were born to be her only bondage. No matter how cruel she is to me, she will never hate you. Leave her for my father, don't let her go, fifth, she is so cruel , only you can keep her for my father, only you can soften her heart..."

His birth was just a chip, a bet.

Seven years ago, Emperor Hongxing lost, completely, and that woman died on Qixi Festival.That night, the palace was full of plain onyx, and the palace was filled with fiery trees and silver flowers. Xue Fangli took up the brush and drew this picture.

His empty and tiresome life finally existed for himself for such a moment, and then fell into endless hatred.

Seven years later, there was such a boy, and he wanted to keep him.

What he loathed and hated in the past made the young man soft-hearted, and made him love him even more. He began to rejoice that he had suffered enough, so that he could handle the young man day after day so that he could stay by his side.

He should have indulged in endless hatred and loathing, but a hand reached out to him and brought him back to the human world.

That was his little Bodhisattva, who rescued him from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Since this is the case, I have to ask you again," Xue Fangli said with a smile, "This king will only care about you from now on, what do you think?"

"You care." Jiang Juan was honest this time, he said seriously, "My lord, you can care a little more."

"You are in such poor health, either you have a headache or cough up blood. If you pay more attention, maybe you can live a little longer, and I can send you away later."

Xue Fangli: "..."

He paused and looked at Jiang Juan a few times. The young man not only spoke seriously, but also looked very serious, as if he really believed that Xue Fangli would go before him, and he had to die for Xue Fangli.

After a moment of silence, Xue Fangli didn't say anything, just smiled slightly: "Okay, I will leave as late as possible, but you have heart attacks so frequently, you must stay for a while longer."

Xue Fangli knew that he couldn't keep him for too long. On that day, he would personally send the boy away, but he didn't want to send him off too early.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Jiang Juan sighed softly.

——Sigh, with such a serious illness, if the prince leaves late, how late can it be?

Xue Fangli also lowered his eyes, looking thoughtful.

——Heart attacks are so frequent, no matter how long the boy can last, how long can he last?

"boom--!"

The fireworks lifted into the air, sparks exploded, and the loud noise made Xue Congyun's hands tremble, and he almost lost his grip on the teacup, and the hot tea poured out.

"Why did the father let the fireworks go off for so long?"

Xue Congyun was puzzled, the fireworks burned for too long tonight, and his ears were buzzing non-stop.

Jiang Nian, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile: "It must be that His Majesty is in a good mood today, so let's let it go for a while."

During the day today, Xue Congyun didn't go for an outing, so he made an appointment with Jiang Nian and others to have dinner at Juxian Pavilion, but Jiang Qingliang and Marquis Anping both had business, so only Xue Congyun, Jiang Nian and Gu Puwang were present.

Xue Congyun said with emotion: "If it weren't for the fireworks, the tuberculosis of Jiang's surname would not be there, and his ears would definitely be much cleaner."

Jiang Nian took a sip of tea, but smiled helplessly. He suddenly remembered something, and said to Gu Puwang apologetically, "By the way, I'm afraid it will be the archery competition between you and Guangyetang tomorrow." I can't go."

Zhixing Hall and Guangye Hall are both one of the six halls in the Guozijian.The students in the Zhixing Hall are headed by Gu Puwang, and the students in the Guangye Hall are headed by Jiang Qingliang. The two of them have a good relationship, so they move around quite frequently between the two halls. Some time ago, they discussed an archery competition. Jiang Qingliang asked Jiang Nian to come and play with him.

Jiang Qingliang was not there, Gu Puwang just took a sip of tea and said flatly: "It's okay, if you can't come, forget it."

Both Gu Puwang and Jiang Qingliang were studying at the Imperial College. After all, one of them is the son of the prime minister, and the other is the son of a general. Xue Congyun can't do it. He, the prince, has to go to the Dabentang to study honestly, and no one is with him. Fooling around, how boring and boring every day is.

After thinking for a while, Xue Congyun said happily: "Brother Nian can't go, I'll go to watch your game tomorrow."

Gu Pu looked cool and said: "Forget it. Jiang Qingliang alone is enough to talk. If you two get together, you will be so noisy."

Xue Congyun was not happy when he heard it, and rushed over to pinch him, "My prince is here, you don't need to kneel down to greet him, but you still dislike him, damn it, please reorganize the language for me."

Gu Puliang patted his hand away, didn't bother to talk to him, just tidied his clothes, Xue Congyun wanted to curse again, when suddenly he heard a group of scholars chatting about Jiang Nian at the next table.

"Everyone, have you ever heard that in Baihua Garden today, the number one beauty in the capital has changed hands?"

"Changed owner? Who changed?"

"Guess what."

Talking about this matter suddenly without giving any hints, who can guess, so after a few names were mentioned by the colleagues but all were rejected, they all urged him to hurry up, but this scholar is still playing tricks, "You don't know, no matter how gentle and dignified the second son is, he is known as a little banished fairy. In front of this person, he is not enough at all. Yang Liusheng has already said—" "Second son, it is the light of the firefly, that Beauty, but the brilliance of the bright moon, the second young master is not enough to look at him at all!"

Jiang Nian's fingers trembled, and the teacup fell with a "bang".

He had expected that the news of Baihuayuan would soon spread throughout the capital, but when he actually heard it personally, he still felt uncomfortable. However, unlike in Baihuayuan, even if he was humiliated, he could not reveal the slightest bit. Not angry, because - "Brother Nian, are you alright?"

Xue Congyun asked cautiously, Jiang Nian shook his head, smiled very reluctantly, "It's okay."

It doesn't seem like he's okay like this, Xue Congyun was worried, wanted to comfort him but didn't know what to say, while the scholars at that table were still chattering.

"It's so beautiful, is it true?"

"You don't know who Yang Liusheng is? He is a famous master of painting. He is a beautiful woman all his life, and he only paints beautiful women. These boastful words come from him. Do you take it seriously?"

Amidst the exclamation, someone suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I saw the second young master for the first time, and I was still wondering how he could be the most beautiful woman in the capital. His face is just handsome, but Hou Ye and the sixth prince They all boasted that there is nothing in the sky and nothing on the earth, so I had no choice but to join in the beauty."

"Brother Wang, are you the same? To tell you the truth, I am the same!"

"The two of you are the same? I thought I was the only one with poor eyesight, low-level aesthetic taste, and couldn't appreciate the beauty of the second son. So I'm not the only one?"

"Haoyue" is unknown to anyone, and a group of people have already joined forces. They usually acquiesce that the second son of the Shangshufu is the number one beauty. , doesn't seem to look that good.

His temperament is not bad, but it is not the best.

As for the so-called beauty of bones, it is even more illusory.

The second son of the Shangshu Mansion is not related to beauties, but he wants to mention the beauty of the bones. To be honest, it doesn't matter whether the bones are beautiful or the skin is beautiful. As long as you are beautiful, you can always be seen by others. It's not good-looking, so just say something else?

"So, who is the number one beauty now?"

Someone couldn't help asking, and at the same time, Xue Congyun also dropped the bowl and chopsticks with a "slap", and said to Jiang Nian, "Brother Nian, let me go over."

Jiang Nian's face was pale, but his tone was gentle, "What did you do in the past? Is it because of me? Let them talk, I... don't care."

Xue Congyun looked at him, but still stood up, "I want to hear, Brother Nian, you are not the number one beauty, who is the number one beauty, is it really worthy of the title of the number one beauty?"

Jiang Nian hurriedly reached out to stop him, but failed. Xue Congyun walked over aggressively. Jiang Nian frowned and looked at his back, his eyes flickering.

He tried his best to please him in every possible way, not just for the sake of saying "Brother Nian", they are of great use, just like this moment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian raised the corners of his lips, he slowly looked away, but caught Gu Puwang's gaze unexpectedly, his heart trembled.

He made good friends with Xue Congyun, Jiang Qingliang and Gu Puwang.Among the three, he worked the most on Gu Puwang, but it was also Gu Puwang who often frustrated him—he was too clear-headed, as if he had made friends with himself, but he never made friends with him. Sometimes he even felt that Gu Puwang could see through him.

Jiang Nian smiled at Gu Puwang, Gu Puwang didn't say anything, just looked at Xue Congyun who was provoking trouble, and he had already walked over to the table of scholars.

"Hey, you—" "The number one beauty now is the newly married princess of Prince Li, and the third son of the Shangshu Mansion!"

Xue Congyun: "..."

When the two spoke at the same time, his hand was about to pat the speaker's shoulder, but he froze in mid-air again.

Why is it him?

This country bumpkin——no, it's Brother Tired now, he's a bit of a crybaby, but he's really pretty.

Brother Nian's number one beauty was given to him, it seems...

no big problem?

It feels quite appropriate.

Xue Congyun fell silent.

The scholar who talked the most didn't know that someone came behind him, but the fellows saw him, his eyes widened, and he frantically hinted at him with his eyes. This person received hints frequently, looked back strangely, and almost fell under the chair.

Six princes!

It's actually the sixth prince!

Who doesn't know that he has a good relationship with the second son!

"Sixth, sixth prince..."

Thinking that he had said a lot of bad things about Jiang Nian, the scholar called out tremblingly, for fear that Xue Congyun would clean him up, but Xue Congyun didn't say anything, just stared at him, the atmosphere was extremely weird.

After a long time, Xue Congyun clapped down his hand hanging in mid-air, and he slowly showed an awkward but polite smile, "Misidentified, see you later."

And then - off.

Scholar: "???"

That's it?Didn't he come to stand up for the second son?

The scholar who had escaped by chance was dazed, and Jiang Nian was even more astonished. He knew that Xue Congyun's character had always been hot-tempered and extremely arrogant.

Jiang Nian clenched his hands, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. He asked calmly, "You have changed your temper today, and I'm still worried."

Xue Congyun was quite guilty. He didn't dare to tell Jiang Nian the truth. He felt that Jiang Juan was worthy of the number one beauty, so he could only whisper: "My fifth brother is too scary. When I heard that it was his princess, I didn't dare Speak."

Jiang Nian was stunned, but it was true that King Li protected Jiang Tiredly, and Xue Congyun would inevitably deal with the two of them. If it got into the ears of King Li, Xue Congyun would definitely not be able to please him.

I originally thought that Xue Congyun would have an incident today, and his remarks would be more or less restrained, but the calculation was wrong, but Jiang Nian couldn't say anything, so he could only smile softly: "It's okay, you didn't make trouble, come back You will not be blamed by His Majesty again after entering the palace."

Xue Congyun waved his hand, picked up the teacup and drank tea, Jiang Nian was very annoyed when he thought of the words of the brightness of the bright moon and the light of the firefly. He didn't really care, so he said softly, "I'll go out to get some air."

Jiang Nian got up and stood up. After he left, Gu Pu looked at Xue Congyun steadfastly, and asked slowly, "What's going on between you and Princess Li?"

Gu Puwang was like this, his eyes were very poisonous, and even the slightest clue could not escape his sharp eyes. Xue Congyun lay down on the table and lowered his voice and said to him: "I made trouble for him once before, and then I felt..."

Xue Congjun scratched his hair and asked Gu Puwang: "Have you ever met him? Anyway, I think he and Brother Nian might have a little misunderstanding. He doesn't look like someone who would push Brother Nian into the lake."

Gu Puwang thought for a moment, he didn't have much impression of this Princess Li, but occasionally heard a few words about him from Jiang Nian, Gu Puwang shook his head and said: "No."

As for whether there was any misunderstanding between the two, Gu Puwang was even more unclear, he just reminded Xue Congyun: "Don't ask Brother Nian about the misunderstanding."

Xue Congyun asked blankly, "Why?"

Gu Puwang didn't answer.

He has a mild temper, and he is not as brainless as Xue Congyun and Jiang Qingliang, so he knows that Jiang Nian is not as gentle and indifferent as he has shown.

Jiang Nian is ambitious and scheming. Since he mentioned Jiang Juan to them, he definitely doesn't like Jiang Juan in his heart.

After a pause, Gu Puwang said again: "It takes a long time to see people's hearts. You have only met Princess Li a few times, but you have been with Brother Nian for a few years, so you think he is right?"

Xue Congyun said: "He, it's really... well, I don't know how to tell you."

Xue Congyun didn't know how to describe Jiang Juan. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized: "Well, I will bring him to play with me in the archery competition tomorrow."

"You'll know him when you see him. He's quite an interesting person."

Gu Puwang doesn't know if it's interesting or not, but he knows that Princess Li is quite powerful.

Xue Congyun has always been talking about Brother Nian, and he has always been led by the nose by Jiang Nian. This is the first time he has not stood up for Jiang Nian.

Gu Puwang didn't care, he could just see it, and he could know what kind of magical power this Princess Li possessed, so he said, "It's up to you."

The author has something to say: Salted fish roll: I want to send him to the end.

Prince: I want to see him die.
