Salted fish, he thought about it

That night.

After the dinner party, outside the Princess's mansion, the cars were like flowing water and the horses were like dragons.

The carriage of Shangshu Mansion has not yet set off, and it stops in a dimly lit place.

Marquis Anping strode forward, he walked past one carriage after another, and then lifted the curtain of the sedan chair.

Jiang Nian raised his head, and was having someone use a veil to heal the wound on his forehead. Seeing Marquis Anping, Jiang Nian pushed the servants back. He looked at Marquis Anping, and moved his lips slightly. After all, he didn't say anything. There were tears dripping silently.

"Xiao Nian, you have been wronged."

Marquis Anping frowned, and gently took his hand, "I already know what happened today, Prince Li is really deceiving people too much!"

"I was supposed to be at the banquet, but my uncle left me in the study, so I didn't attend the banquet. If I were there, you wouldn't be so humiliated."

Jiang Nian shook his head, as if he didn't care about the humiliation, he just said in a low voice, "Master Hou, the eldest princess and the son-in-law don't like me..."

"What exactly does it take to get into their eyes?"

Marquis Anping comforted him: "Uncle and aunt just didn't get in touch with you. You are fine. If they are willing to let go of their grudges and get in touch with you, they will definitely like you."

Jiang Nian bit his lip, "But they didn't talk to my brother—" His voice froze, and he remembered the moment when he was knocked on the ground with his head held down at the banquet. This kind of shame and pain was really enough to make him Jiang Nian will remember it forever.

Jiang Nian clenched his palms tightly, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "...they have never had contact with Princess Li. The first time I saw him today, I was very happy to see the eldest princess, and the son-in-law and him are even more It was fun and even held me accountable for him."

"Master Hou, am I really not as good as him?"

Inside the carriage, the lights were dim, and Jiang Nian's voice choked up for a moment. His face was covered with water marks, and he looked pitiful. Marquis Anping was about to answer, but in a daze, he remembered the boy crying.

——Tears wet the eyelashes, like dewy jade petals, every time the eyelashes move, the heart will soften.

Jiang Nian is really not as good as Jiang Juan.

"... Lord Marquis?"

No one answered for a long time, Jiang Nian called him softly, and Anpinghou finally came to his senses, he forced a smile, "Why do you think so?"

"You are you, don't compare yourself with others, don't think too much."

Anpinghou didn't answer directly, but Jiang Nian didn't notice it, because a small porcelain bottle was stuffed into his hand. Anpinghou explained to him: "This is the muscle-creating ointment I begged from my aunt. You have been using it for a few days. Take care of your injuries at home, remember to apply the medicine every day, so as not to leave scars."

Jiang Nian clenched the small porcelain bottle tightly, "...um."

Marquis Anping said again: "This Marquis has told the servants of the mansion not to mention the banquet, but...there are many visitors, so after today, if someone says something, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Nian closed his eyes lightly, and murmured, "I know."

How could he not know.At the banquet, under the watchful eyes of everyone, if he was punished like this, rumors would spread everywhere.

But so what?He had some ways to stop the rumors, and some ways to make them mention the second son of the Shangshufu again, and he was full of praise.

——In his previous life, this summer was uneasy.

Jiang Juan is protected by King Li, so what if the eldest princess and concubine take care of him?

Not long after, not to mention the eldest princess and consort, even Emperor Hongxing will treat him with courtesy, and he will trample Jiang Juan hard on the soles of his feet as usual.

Thinking of this, Jiang Nian smiled, and finally calmed down a lot.

He said casually: "Master Hou, earlier you wanted to take advantage of the absence of the eldest princess and son-in-law to enter the palace and ask His Majesty to give us a marriage. Now that the two of them have returned, our marriage..."

Jiang Nian would ask him, but he wanted to see how Anpinghou would react. After all, he had already learned from Jiang Juan that the marriage was granted, and he kept holding back tonight, not wanting to embarrass Anpinghou. The two of them are already a rope Grasshopper on the ground.

But who knew, just after the words fell, Anping Hou was startled, and he shook off Jiang Nian's hand, reacting violently.

"Master Hou?"

Jiang Nian was astonished, and Marquis of Anping suddenly got up and said vaguely, "...some accident happened."

He was in a panic, Jiang Nian only thought that Marquis Anping was embarrassed, but also wanted to surprise himself, and his heart was even sweeter, so he pretended to be gentle and said: "It's okay, Lord Marquis, time is still long, you can take your time."

An Pinghou nodded, and said with a evasive look: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest soon."

"……it is good."

After saying goodbye, Marquis Anping came out, the coachman slammed his whip on the horse's back, and the horse's hooves kicked away, Marquis Anping watched the chariot go away, but he didn't move for a long time.

In the palace that day, he did not insist on giving the marriage, so there was no second chance.

How should he tell Jiang Nian about this?

The next day.

From the palace.

Exclusively in the single double bed room, Jiang Juan slept until noon.After sleeping until he woke up naturally, he didn't open his eyes, thinking that he could sleep again, so Jiang Juan turned over, intending to change his position and continue to sleep, but turned - he couldn't turn over.

Jiang Juan: "?"

He reached out and groped for it, and put a hand around his waist. Jiang Juan pushed it several times, but instead of pushing it away, his fingers were also caught, so Jiang Juan had to open his eyes.

There were people beside him.

"Who told you to sleep here?" Jiang Juan frowned.

"Don't sleep last night," Xue Fangli lay on the bed with his clothes on, lazily playing with Jiang Juan's hand, "Isn't it already daytime?"

Jiang Juan: "???"

"I didn't agree."

"The king will go back to his own courtyard, why do you want to agree?"

Jiang Juan deliberately yelled at him: "Well, I don't care much. I don't care whether you smile or not, and who you meet and when."

Xue Fangli raised his eyebrows slightly, tightened his hand on Jiang Juan's waist, pulled him into his arms, and let Jiang Juan lie on his body, "Do you know what my aunt said about me?"

Jiang Juan was used to being hugged by him, so he didn't struggle, but when he heard him say this, he put his hands on his shoulders and raised his head, "What did the eldest princess say?"

Xue Fangli smiled and said: "She said—" "I didn't expect that this king is also afraid of guilt."

Jiang Juan was startled, his hands went weak, and he fell into his arms.

Fear of guilt.

What fear.

Jiang Juan's heart was beating non-stop, bang bang bang, beating fast, but he was right next to Xue Fangli's chest. .

"what happened?"

He buried his head for too long, and there was no movement for too long, Xue Fangli asked in a flat tone, Jiang Juan just shook his head, and his voice was a little vague, "My lord, why is your heartbeat so steady?"

He accused very unreasonably: "...can't it jump faster?"

Xue Fangli: "Raise your head."

Jiang Juan: "Huh?"

Jiang Juan was a little dazed, someone pinched his jaw quickly and made him lift his face, and then Jiang Juan's hand was also pulled up and placed in a certain place.

Xue Fangli lowered his eyes, "What about now?"

Jiang Juan's eyelashes twitched. He and Xue Fangli looked at each other, still very puzzled, but suddenly, his hand that was pulled up - it was placed on Xue Fangli's chest, and he felt a burst of pain. beat.

Bang, bang, bang.

It wasn't very strong, but Jiang Juan's fingers just trembled. The prince's heartbeat seemed to speed up, but it didn't seem to be there. Again, jumping more than ever.

At this moment, there was no sound in the surroundings, but it was full of hustle and bustle.

They stared at each other.

Xue Fangli asked slowly: "Is it coming soon?"

Jiang Juan said in a daze, "It seems..."

"Dong dong dong."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Jiang Juan was awakened unexpectedly. He withdrew his hand all of a sudden, and subconsciously hid himself. The strange and throbbing mood made him feel uneasy.

——Of course, no matter how much she hides, she just hides in the man's arms and doesn't want to see anyone.

"Get in."

Xue Fangli's expression was sullen, and he bit out every single word.

As soon as the senior officer heard it from outside, he knew that the prince was in a bad mood, so he couldn't help shrinking his neck. He pushed the door open and said tremblingly: "My lord, my lord..."

While talking, the senior executive sneaked a glance at the bed.

Their concubine was lying in the prince's arms, as if she was still sleeping, so the high-ranking official lowered his voice, "My lord, my majesty went to the Royal Racecourse for a walk today, and suddenly became very interested, and planned to hold an equestrian competition. , inviting people into the palace."

"Your Majesty wants you and the princess to go and relax."

Jiang Juan immediately stopped pretending to be asleep, "I won't go, I don't need to relax, I'm in a good mood."

The executive wanted to say something, but when Jiang Juan raised his head, he forgot what he wanted to say, and said in surprise, "Princess, what's wrong with you? Could it be a fever?"

Jiang Juan: "?"

He touched his forehead, but it didn't feel hot, so he looked at Xue Fangli strangely, and asked him what was wrong with his eyes, but when Xue Fangli lowered his head, all the irritability that was interrupted earlier disappeared, and he hugged Jiang Juan and smiled. Quite pleasant.

——Under the young man's eyelashes, there is a rosy color, which seems to have crushed the world of mortals, and it is shockingly beautiful.

The senior official asked worriedly: "My lord, do you want to invite an imperial doctor to come over and show the princess?"

Xue Fangli moved his fingers, brushing gently across Jiang Juan's face, he said casually, "No need."

The lord said no, and the high-ranking officials couldn't say anything more, so he just asked: "My lord, then... are you still going to the Royal Racecourse?"

Jiang Juan didn't want to go, Xue Fangli was going to follow his will, but suddenly thought of something, he said thoughtfully, "Go, why not go."

"go by yourself."

Jiang Juan didn't need to relax at all.Besides, if he is really in a bad mood, of course the first choice is to sleep, only if he doesn't get enough sleep will make him unhappy, Jiang Juan said firmly, "Anyway, I won't go."

"Yes," Xue Fangli smiled slightly, "What did you owe me last night, do you still remember?"

Jiang Juan: "Huh? What do you owe..."

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Juan remembered, his body froze, Xue Fangli said in a casual tone: "Yesterday said today, now today is here, shout, my lord, listen."

Jiang Juan: "..."

husband.

How can this be shouted out?

Jiang Juan pursed his lips, wanting to play tricks again, "...My lord."

Xue Fangli said with a smile or not: "It's no use acting like a baby."

"I didn't act like a baby."

Jiang Juan lifted his eyelashes slightly and opened his mouth, but he really couldn't scream.

The senior officer glanced at him and almost gasped.

Their concubines are born beautiful, and they are usually born like a fairy, but now their eyes are moist, their face is bright, and their color is much more beautiful than before. They are really beautiful and heavenly.

At the same time, the senior executives also reacted belatedly.

It turned out that the princess really didn't have a fever.

It was teased by their princes.

Such a little beauty is teased like this by the prince, the prince is really not human.

"No, not really."

Jiang Juan tried again and again, but still failed. He lay back on Xue Fangli's arms listlessly, resting his forehead on his shoulder, rubbing against him non-stop. Xue Fangli patted him lightly, "Then go with me Racecourse, teach you how to ride a horse."

Jiang Juan hadn't ridden a horse before, so he was a little curious. He asked Xue Fangli, "My lord, I'll accompany you to the horse farm, so...can I stop shouting?"

Xue Fangli glanced at him, "I just want you to delay for another day."

Jiang Juan was discouraged as soon as he heard it, and he said depressedly: "My lord, can't you be more generous?"

Xue Fangli raised his lips and smiled casually, "No way. This king can't be generous to you."

Jiang Juan had no choice but to get up from him and recall the plot.

After finishing the story of the protagonist being humiliated at the eldest princess's mansion, now is the low period of the protagonist's suffering. There will be many rumors about him in the capital, but it's not a big problem.

The protagonist suffers, his life is like this, with ups and downs, no matter how low he is, there will be a day of turning around, not to mention he has the protagonist group.

In the original text, this equestrian competition was also mentioned.

Xue Congyun, Jiang Qingliang and Gu Puwang came to Yubachang, but they heard about the matter at the princess's mansion, but they couldn't leave. Xue Congyun simply lost his temper and asked people not to mention this matter again.

It's just - in the novel, the character Jiang Juan committed suicide by biting his tongue, so no matter how much the eldest princess and son-in-law reprimand the protagonist Shou, it has nothing to do with him. making decisions for him.

Will the protagonist group attack him too?

Thinking of this, Jiang Juan frowned, feeling a little uneasy.

Even though Jiang Juan didn't intend to get along with them before, he thought these people were fun, but that didn't involve the protagonist Shou, and now that the protagonist Shou is involved, they should all turn against him, right?

Jiang Juan sighed.

It's a pity, especially Gu Puwang, he managed to catch a wild salted fish.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Jiang Juan was lost in thought, Xue Fangli opened his voice lightly, and Jiang Juan subconsciously replied, "...Gu Puwang."

The next second, his face was pinched, Xue Fangli smiled dangerously, "What do you miss him?"

Jiang Juan has always been slow to perceive the atmosphere, and this moment was no exception. He was ignorant of the slightest danger, so he just put his arms around Xue Fangli's neck and rubbed him several times, "My lord, I'm going with you, so ..."

"You have to take good care of me, and don't let people bully me."

Especially Xue Congyun and Jiang Qingliang.

Although he was dissatisfied with Jiang Juan's mention of Gu Puwang, the young man took the initiative to come over and act softly, which pleased Xue Fangli to the greatest extent.

Xue Fangli closed his eyes lightly, "This king will naturally take a fancy to you."

The boy seemed to be made of porcelain, very fragile.

As long as one is not careful, he will smash himself and hurt himself, which is very pitiful.

Only one thing.

"You are afraid at the princess's mansion, and you are also afraid when you go to the imperial horse farm. What are you afraid of?"

Xue Fangli raised his eyelids, and said in a rambling voice, "When has this king ever been bullied by you?"

"As the princess of this king, you are always afraid. Is it true that you will no longer be afraid until you become a queen?"

The author has something to say: "When did this king let someone bully you?"

Said the dog man who had just bullied the salted fish roll.
