Little Dandy, He's a Little Good

After hearing Yu Jingdu's words, Jiang Jiyan had a very complicated expression.

He thought to himself that the one who said that Rong Zhuo was not so smart was not him, but His Royal Highness Yan Wang.

When Yu Jingdu fled to death, Jiang Jiyan had seen Rong Zhuo's "capability" once in Dali Temple.This young master looked ignorant and not very smart, but actually he had a lot of ghost ideas in his head.

And a young man like him who looks dull is actually very deceptive, and it is easy for people to underestimate the enemy.

His Royal Highness the King of Banquets has fallen into his hands more than once, and it is only today that he has an objective understanding of Young Master Rong.

On the other side, Rong Zhuo was in a deep sleep, unaware that someone was discussing whether he was smart or not.

Rong Zhuo had a dream, dreaming of the endless snow field.

He was walking forward aimlessly in the snow, and saw a person lying on the ground from a distance.

The boy didn't have time to think, and ran towards the person in the distance.

It wasn't until he got to the front that he realized that the person on the ground was actually Yu Jingdu.

"bluestone!"

Rong Zhuo stepped forward to hold him in his arms, and found that Yu Jingdu's eyes were closed tightly, his face was pale, and the corners of his lips were still stained with blood.

He reached out to help Yu Jingdu wipe off the blood on his lips, and hugged him tightly.

But for some reason, the person in his arms didn't have any warmth, and it was getting colder and colder.

The cold touch keeps coming, making Rong Zhuo feel sad and afraid.

He tried hard to use his body to warm the other person, but the eyes of the person in his arms were closed tightly, and he was not breathing at all.

"bluestone!"

Rong Zhuo woke up suddenly, only then realized that he was in a cold sweat from fright.

When he turned his head to look, he found that Yu Jingdu was lying obediently beside him.

What comforted him even more was that Yu Jingdu was awake at this moment, and the other party's deep pool-like eyes were looking at him with concern, "Did you have a nightmare?"

"En." Rong Zhuo turned sideways, raised his hand to caress Jing Du's heart a few times, as if checking the heartbeat and temperature there.

Yu Jingdu was only wearing pajamas at the moment, he felt a little uncomfortable being caressed by him like this, and hurriedly grabbed the troublesome hand.

Rong Zhuo didn't struggle, he let Jing Du hold that hand and leaned his head to his side.

"Qingshi, the imperial physician His Royal Highness Yanwang helped you find must be very powerful?" Rong Zhuo asked.

Yu Jingdu looked at him and smiled, but didn't make a sound.

"What are you laughing at?" Rong Zhuo was puzzled.

"You dreamed that I was dead?"

"Bah, bah, bah!" Rong Zhuo hurriedly said, "Can you stop saying such unlucky words?"

"Dreams are always reversed. If you have a nightmare, it means that I will be safe and sound this time." Yu Jingdu said.

Rong Zhuo finally felt a little more at ease when he said that.

"Tell me, what did you dream about?" Yu Jingdu asked.

Rong Zhuo thought for a while about his phrase "dreams are reversed", and he was not so shy anymore, and said, "I dreamed that I found you in a big snow field. It's so cold. I hugged you to try to keep you warm, but..."

He thought of the scene in the dream, and Yu Jingdu's bone-chilling coldness, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Yu Jingdu held him in his arms, and gently rubbed his head with one hand, as if he was comforting a restless animal.

"Then have you ever seen a lot of snow?" Yu Jingdu asked him.

Rong Zhuo shook his head, "I've only seen ordinary heavy snow."

"I know a place where the snow is so heavy that it can reach as deep as your knees." Yu Jingdu said, "When I recover from illness, I'll take you to see it, okay?"

Hearing what he said, Rong Zhuo hurriedly said: "Okay, then we can not only go to see the snow, but also go to see the sea, ride camels in the desert, and go to many places we have never been to."

He said this originally to comfort Yu Jingdu, but he really got excited while talking.

"My uncle's caravan can go anywhere. He promised me a few days ago that he can take me with him in the future." Rong Zhuo turned over and lay beside Jingdu, and said with great interest: "When the time comes, we will go to the banquet king Your Highness asked for a leave of absence and asked him to let us go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Anyway, he is so nice, he will definitely agree, right?"

Yu Jingdu felt a little happy when he heard that His Royal Highness Wang Yan was a good person.

But he heard him say again: "Anyway, we are no better than those civil servants and generals, and the court will not be any different without us. At that time, we can go to a place close to the capital first, and then go far away after getting acquainted with the caravan. The place……"

When the boy said this, his eyes were full of longing.

Yu Jingdu raised his hand suddenly, and couldn't help but want to touch his cheek, but in the end, under Rong Zhuo's blank gaze, he only tapped lightly on the tip of his beautiful nose.

"What's wrong with you?" Rong Zhuo asked puzzled.

"Rong Zhuo." Yu Jingdu looked at him seriously, and asked, "If in the future... I want you to stay with me in the capital, will you be unhappy?"

Rong Zhuo was taken aback, "You don't want to leave the capital?"

"I mean what if I can't leave?" Yu Jingdu asked, "Are you willing to stay?"

"Yes." Rong Zhuo smiled, "Anyway, the prince will be finished in the future, and this country belongs to the banquet king. He values ​​love and righteousness, so he won't treat us harshly. When the time comes, you can speak nice things to him , arrange a leisurely errand for me, hehe."

After he finished speaking, he smiled sheepishly, "It's fine if you don't arrange errands. I don't think I can get a decent errand. In fact, I can support myself by starting a business in the capital. When the time comes, I will tell you earlier Well, if you don't want to work with the Banquet King, you can come and help me."

"But it should be okay for us to go out for fun once in a while, right?" Rong Zhuo said, "You don't have to go too far, it's good to come to Jiang Shaoqing's house for a hot spring every now and then..."

The young man earnestly thought about the future, causing Yu Jingdu to suddenly have some irrational extravagant hopes.

Because in every future that the little dandy imagines, there is his...

"Hey, do you want to go to the hot spring?" Rong Zhuo asked him: "I haven't been there these days when you're not here."

That place was too close to Jiangfu's garden, Rong Zhuo didn't dare to go by himself.

"I remember the doctor said that it's good for you to soak in this illness." Rong Zhuo said.

Yu Jingdu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when he saw the expectant look in Rong Zhuo's eyes, he nodded in a mysterious way.

Seeing this, Rong Zhuo hurriedly helped him get up and put on his clothes, and took out the cloak to fix it for him, and dressed himself tightly.

"Jiang Shaoqing asked someone to build a snow shed here a few days ago. I didn't expect it to snow just after it was built. It was a coincidence." Rong Zhuo took Yu Jingdu's arm to the backyard and found that the hot spring was quite warm. , not as cold as imagined.

The only downside is that it is getting late and the light from the lanterns is not particularly bright.

"Sit still and don't move, I'll help you." Rong Zhuo asked Yu Jingdu to sit aside and helped him undo his clothes one by one.

"I'll do it myself..." Yu Jingdu wanted to stop him.

"Are you still seeing me?" Rong Zhuo laughed and said, "You are so sick, I can't help you at all, it's okay to take care of you in a hot spring."

As he spoke, he helped Yu Jingdu take off his clothes, and helped him into the pool.

But Rong Zhuo didn't go in by himself, but squatted beside the pool wearing a close-fitting jacket.

"Aren't you coming in?" Yu Jingdu asked.

"I'll take care of you first, hehe." Rong Zhuo rolled up his sleeves and trousers, and stepped on the heated pool with his bare feet, "I'll wait for you to soak in a while. You can’t leave here even if you come out, you’ll catch cold easily on the way, just waiting for me…”

In fact, Rong Zhuo was worried about Yu Jingdu's health. He was afraid that if the other party felt uncomfortable halfway, he would not be able to take care of him if he was in a hurry, so he deliberately stood by the side.

How could Yu Jingdu not know what was going on in his mind, he just felt sour in his heart for a while.

The little dandy can take care of others, which makes him feel sad...

"Shall I give you a massage?" Rong Zhuo squatted beside him bored, and stretched out his hand to help him squeeze his shoulders.

But Yu Jingdu hurriedly hid to the other side like a tiger whose tail had been trampled on.

The boy looked at him innocently, his hands still hanging in the air.

Yu Jingdu glanced at his fair and well-proportioned arm, then looked away and said, "I'm not used to it."

"Forget it." Rong Zhuo sat on the stone steps, with both feet hanging by the pool, touching the water surface one after another.

Yu Jingdu's eyes fell on his beautiful ankle, and he coughed lightly as if to cover up.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Rong Zhuo asked nervously.

"You..." He considered his tone, trying to make his words sound less strange, "You haven't been here with Duan Zheng, have you?"

"What do you mean?" Rong Zhuo asked.

"It's not interesting... just to make you be more careful." Yu Jingdu said: "Knowing people, knowing the face, but not the heart."

Rong Zhuo let out a chuckle, "Did you forget? Cousin and the others thought I was a manly man. I asked them to come, but they might not come? I don't know, so I want to take advantage of them."

"Then you haven't thought about it... Maybe I'm a man? If you follow me, you won't be afraid that I will take advantage of you?" Yu Jingdu asked.

Rong Zhuo was taken aback when he heard the words, Yu Jingdu immediately regretted saying this to him.

"You're not that kind of person." Rong Zhuo said: "I know you don't have that kind of thought for me, otherwise we sleep in the same bed all day, how could you have no response? I'm not a fool, I still understand the truth of."

Just because a man likes men doesn't mean he likes all men.

So in Rong Zhuo's view, as long as Qingshi doesn't like him, there is nothing to hide between them.

He is a straight man, if he is shy when facing Qingshi, he will be too affectionate.

Anyway, he would not use this kind of prejudice to look at Qingshi. In his heart, Qingshi is his good brother, and it has nothing to do with whether the other party likes men or women.

Yu Jingdu took a deep look at him, thinking that this person is really confused when he should be smart.

After that day, it snowed again in the suburbs of Beijing.

The snow is not too heavy, but it is enough to stain the ground with a layer of white.

Rong Zhuo was concerned about Yu Jingdu's body, and never took him out again. Every day, he asked someone to light a charcoal basin and stay with him in the house.

For three consecutive days, Yu Jingdu's complexion was actually much better than the day he first came here.

Three days later, Yu Jingdu left Zhuangzi and returned to the capital.

Rong Zhuo sent people to the carriage, and gave a lot of instructions, and did not go back until he watched the carriage leave.

Yu Jingdu reached into his pocket with one hand, and found the thing that Rong Zhuo secretly stuffed for him.

With his vigilance, it is impossible for Rong Zhuo to hide this small action from him, but he did not expose it.

He took the thing out of his pocket and saw that it was a handkerchief.

Clutching the handkerchief in Yu Jingdu's hand, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but wonder, could the little dude also be interested in him, what was he hinting at?

But reality quickly hit him.

Because after the handkerchief was opened, there was something inside.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that what Rong Zhuo wants to give him is not a handkerchief, but this thing inside:

A peace talisman.

This peace talisman was known to Jingdu, because he also had the same one.

This is what he asked for when he took Rong Zhuo to Qingyin Temple a long time ago, and they each have one.

The next day, he received a letter from Rong Zhuo, in which the other party told him that the purpose of giving him this peace talisman was to make him have double peace, so that his illness would not be dangerous.

Holding the peace talisman, Yu Jingdu was so emotionally provoked by the young man that it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

Finally, he wrapped the peace talisman in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket close to his heart.

Physician Wu checked Yu Jingdu's pulse, and found that His Royal Highness Yan Wang's pulse was actually much calmer than when he left the palace.

What's even more bizarre is that this relief is not caused by medication. Is it really useful to go to Qingyin Temple to chant scriptures?

Physician Wu couldn't figure it out, and almost doubted his accumulated experience in practicing medicine for decades...

"Your Highness, this medicine should be taken today." Doctor Wu said.

Yu Jingdu nodded, "When will you drink it?"

"Let's do it after nightfall, so that His Highness can rest after drinking and suffer less." Wu Taiyi said: "The old man will help His Highness prescribe a soothing prescription, so that His Highness won't feel uncomfortable and can't fall asleep."

"Have someone prepare the medicine. I will go to greet my father in a while, and I will drink the medicine when I come back." Yu Jingdu said.

Physician Wu hurriedly responded, and then ordered people to prepare medicinal materials for decoction.

Yu Jingdu rested for a while, and then went to the imperial study with his two relatives.

The emperor had just finished approving the papers, and he was quite happy to see Yu Jingdu coming over, so he hurriedly gave him a seat.

"I heard they said that you went to Qingyin Temple, and you were worried that you would not be able to bear the cold weather, but when I saw you today, you look pretty good." The emperor said.

"Thank you, Father, for your concern." Yu Jingdu said.

"Tell me, why did you go to Qingyin Temple? Didn't you just come back a few days ago?"

"Fourth brother's crowning ceremony, my son went to pray for fourth brother."

"Third brother, you are not a liar."

Yu Jingdu raised his eyes to look at the emperor for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.

"My son just doesn't want to say what's in his heart to make father uncomfortable."

The emperor became even more curious when he heard the words, "Say, I won't punish you."

"My son..." Yu Jingdu was silent for a long time, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "I feel a little unhappy when I think that my fourth younger brother is about to perform the crowning ceremony, and I can't even sleep well at night."

"Third brother?" The emperor's expression changed, "What do you mean by that?"

"I think I shouldn't be jealous of his status as the crown prince, but how can I control what I think in my heart?" Yu Jingdu said: "I have no choice, so I went to Qingyin Temple to pray for forgiveness in front of the Buddha. .”

Openly discussing the status of the crown prince in front of the emperor, he did not hide his ambitions at all.

Whoever says this is a crime of treason.

But after the emperor heard it, he didn't feel too much trouble in his heart. On the contrary, he even felt very happy.

Because he knew clearly that among all his sons, there was none who did not covet the crown prince.

But he was the only one who was as honest as Yu Jingdu.

But although the emperor was not too angry in his heart, he still wanted to reprimand him.

Otherwise, once the matter gets out, what is the majesty of the emperor?

To show his anger, the emperor even dropped a teacup.

"Go to Fengxian Hall and kneel... for half an hour, then go back to your Fu'an Palace and meditate behind closed doors." The emperor said angrily.

"Yes."

"Also." The emperor stopped him, "Don't go to the prince's coronation ceremony, lest you won't be able to sleep seeing him crowned with your own eyes."

Yu Jingdu didn't make any excuses, he complied one by one, and obediently went to Fengxian Hall to kneel for half an hour.

But he wasn't in a panic, because just now when the emperor asked him to kneel as a punishment, he casually changed one hour to half an hour, obviously because he was worried about his body.

The emperor was still worried about his health at this time, so he naturally didn't panic.

After returning to Fu'an Palace, the imperial physician had already ordered the medicine to be prepared.

Yu Jingdu hardly hesitated, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it clean.

The effect of this medicine is to completely stimulate the old disease in Jingdu's body, so after taking it, Yu Jingdu will experience extremely painful three days.In the past three days, his consciousness has always been clear, but his heart seems to have been gouged out by life...

"Is it time?" Yu Jingdu asked tremblingly.

"Here we are." The attendant replied.

"Help me change my clothes, I want to take a look..."

"Your Highness?" The attendant hurriedly said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to make it to the gate of the palace now."

"My king's body is well known in my heart." Yu Jingdu said.

Hearing this, the relative dared not disobey him, but he was very worried in his heart.

Based on what they saw in the past few days, their Highness had already been tortured to the point of exhaustion, and it was estimated that it would be difficult for them to even get up, so how could they possibly be able to make it to the gate of the palace?

According to the rules of this dynasty, the prince's crowning ceremony will be held in the Taimiao.

At that time, the royal clan and civil and military officials will go to watch the ceremony.

And early in the morning, the emperor would lead his heirs to set off from the gate of the palace and take a carriage to the Taimiao.

There will be crowds of people watching along the way, which can be regarded as a witness in a sense.

Outside the palace gate.

The emperor was helped by Laifu into the carriage.

"Your Majesty, the old slave seems to have seen His Royal Highness the Banquet King just now." Lai Fu whispered.

"The third child?" The emperor lifted the curtain of the car to take a look, but did not see Yu Jingdu's figure.

"From what I saw on the way out, His Royal Highness Yan Wang seems to be supported by someone." Lai Fu said.

The emperor frowned, "He's not in good health, I deliberately didn't let him follow. In such a cold day, Si Tianjian even said it was going to snow."

Lai Fu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is sympathetic to His Highness's body, His Highness must know it."

Hearing this, the emperor glanced at the gray sky, and for some reason his mood suddenly became a little unhappy.

The Crown Prince Crown Ceremony that day was very grand.

It's a pity that the weather was not beautiful, and it suddenly started snowing halfway through, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, so we had to end it hastily.

I don't know if it was because of the snow, or because of other reasons, the emperor kept his face sullen all day long.

Officials always like to observe words and expressions, and when they saw the emperor's unhesitating expression, they murmured in their hearts.

The prince saw everything in his eyes, and was extremely unhappy in his heart, but on the surface he wanted to pretend to be calm.

After returning to the palace that day, the empress asked someone to prepare food and drinks, and went to invite the emperor herself.

Although the emperor was a little absent-minded, he couldn't bear to offend the queen, so he went to the queen's palace.

the other side.

Since Yu Jingdu went out that morning, he came back unconscious.

But according to his order, the palace people didn't say anything.

It wasn't until dusk that someone went to report to the Queen's Palace, but was stopped at the door.

The person who reported the letter was easy to talk about, and he didn't insist after being stopped by the queen's people, and he went back without even explaining what was going on.

As a result, the emperor never received the letter, and did not know that Yu Jingdu was seriously ill until late at night when he came out of the queen's palace.

At the beginning, the emperor only thought that the other party was a relapse of an old illness, until he entered the Fu'an Palace, and found that Yu Jingdu was lying on the couch with a pale complexion, and he had already exhaled more and breathed less.Surrounded by several imperial physicians, all of them were sweating and looked helpless.

"What's going on?" The emperor said angrily, "The third child was fine two days ago, why did he become like this today?"

The emperor grabbed an imperial physician and asked, "Didn't Laifu say that he went to the gate of the palace in the morning?"

"Your Majesty...His Royal Highness Yan Wang's old illness is already dangerous, and the past two days seem to be too deep. In addition, I went out today, and the wind and cold entered the body, so I can't afford it." The imperial physician explained.

The emperor pushed the man away, walked to the side of the couch and called out: "Third son, my son, can you hear me? Father is here..."

However, Yu Jingdu on the couch did not respond, and even his breathing became very weak.

"Why didn't you report it in advance?" The emperor asked the palace man in a cold voice, "Did the Yan Wang become so ill all of a sudden?"

"Return to Your Majesty!" The servant immediately knelt on the ground, and said with red eyes: "My servant heard that His Majesty returned to the palace, so I reported it immediately, but His Majesty is not in the bedroom...The servant went to the Queen's Palace again, and was arrested by the palace servant. If you stop them from entering, you say it will disturb your majesty and empress's meal."

The emperor's face turned cold when he heard the words, and suddenly remembered a past event several years ago.

In the late autumn of that year, Yu Jingdu's mother and concubine were seriously ill, and he was also in the Queen's Palace...

"Wu Imperial Physician." The emperor said: "You have been watching Yan Wang's illness, and I order you to save his life at all costs. If Yan Wang can't survive tonight, you can bury him with him."

"Minister...obey the order." Wu Taiyi said.

The emperor got up, and the imperial doctors immediately crowded around Yu Jingdu's bed.

"Laifu." The emperor said, his voice a little hoarse, "The bloody smell in this room is too strong, let me go outside to get some air."

Laifu heard the words and hurriedly helped the emperor out.

There are several red plums planted in the courtyard of Fu'an Palace, which look very beautiful against the backdrop of snow.

"I remember that Concubine Qi likes plum blossoms very much." The emperor said.

"That's right, the red plums in this yard were transplanted from Concubine Qi's residence." Lai Fu said.

The emperor came out from the corridor, went to the plum tree and stretched out his hand to pluck a branch, but held back.

"In these years, I have never forgotten her." The emperor murmured: "Everyone knows that I don't like her, but they don't know that I..."

The emperor was probably touched by the scene, and the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

"What she wants is not an emperor, but a husband who can treat her wholeheartedly. I can't give her..." The emperor sighed, "Sometimes I can't help but wonder if she is like others Can she live in peace and stability until now? But if she is the same as others, is it still her?"

Over the years, the emperor actually rarely recalled Concubine Qi, not because he forgot, but because he dared not.

People are often like this, the more they owe a person, the less they want to think of the other person, so as not to be blamed in their hearts again.

Especially the emperor, he occupies a high position, and the people around him rarely make demands on him, so there are not many people he owes on the surface.In addition, he is a self-deceiving character, if others don't point out his debts, he will take it for granted.

Only Concubine Qi was different, she would tell the emperor exactly what she wanted, which made the emperor's debt to her very clear, clear and unavoidable.

"Jing Du is really like his concubine mother. She never hides anything from me, and always tells me directly what she wants." The emperor said, "But I failed him, just like I failed Concubine Qi... "

As soon as his words fell, there was a sudden noise in the hall.

The emperor's heart skipped a beat, and he strode into the hall.

Then I saw Yu Jingdu lying on the side of the couch with someone supporting him, spitting out blood profusely.

The pungent smell of blood rushed to his face, causing the emperor's heart to sink to the bottom of the valley.

"Ginseng soup, ginseng soup!" shouted an imperial physician.

After Yu Jingdu finished vomiting blood, the imperial physician immediately asked him to pour two mouthfuls of ginseng soup.

"Your Majesty, now I can only help His Royal Highness Banquet to hang his life. If he can survive tonight, maybe he can have..."

"No possibility." The emperor walked to the side of the couch and sat down, grabbed Yu Jingdu's hand, "Jingdu, my son... the emperor is with you..."

At this time, someone from the palace suddenly came to report that the queen had come to see His Royal Highness Banquet.

The emperor's eyes froze, and when he thought of the people from Fu'an Palace being stopped outside the Queen's Palace, he immediately became angry.

"Let her think about it outside." The emperor said coldly.

"Your Majesty, is it snowing outside?" Lai Fu reminded.

"En." The emperor responded, but did not take back his order.

Thinking about such a thing outside doesn't sound like a big deal, but the person outside is a queen, so the meaning is different.

Everyone in the hall didn't dare to say any more, they all looked at their noses and noses and their hearts.

At this time, Yu Jingdu was in a daze, dreaming.

He dreamed of a heavy snowfall, and a young man in a red cloak was sitting on horseback, waving at him.

When Yu Jingdu stretched out his hand to grab him, the young man controlled the horse and ran forward a few steps, as if he was deliberately teasing him.

"Don't go..." Yu Jingdu murmured.

The emperor who was sitting by the couch heard him talking in his sleep, thought that Yu Jingdu was calling him, and couldn't help blushing his eyes.
