hold this little monk

Liu Ming'an took root in Ziling Palace in this way. Maybe it was the "child killer" who discovered it in the conscience of the big devil, or maybe it was because of Bi Kong's face. The layouts were all looked over one by one, perhaps it was this rare concern that made Ming An, who was always hiding in the corner eating with tears in his eyes, willing to smile at him.

Although he didn't know if that awkward and unnatural smile was well-intentioned, it really warmed Xiaoxuan's heart for a while, and he suddenly had the illusion of being a father for the first time.

If one ignores the fact that the child is already sixteen.

On this day, people from Prince Yi’s Mansion sent invitations. It has been more than a month since Bi Kong’s mansion was completed, but he has not held a banquet. Everyone is impatient to wait, but who made him King Yi? Except for the eldest princess who dared to come to the door and taunt him harshly, who would dare to say it.

Shi Yang took the invitation to Xiaoxuan—he didn’t even need to think about who the highness wanted—Shi Yang sent someone to the eldest princess’s door as if jokingly mocking Yi Wang’s lack of etiquette, and he didn’t even hold a banquet, which was shabby He told Xiaoxuan about the embarrassment of the royal family.

"You said Yi Wang is really calm. If Shi Xu was pointed at his nose and scolded like this, he would jump over the wall and enter that man's house to steal rice someday."

"You don't need to tell me so many glorious deeds of Shi Xu's depravity," Xiaoxuan said, laughing loudly, but Shi Yang took a reproachful look before restraining himself, and said, "Actually, the eldest princess This matter, I think you have wrongly blamed the princess."

"Wrong?"

"Well," Xiaoxuan smiled and looked at the words in the invitation card that were almost the same as his own handwriting, and said with a smile, "His Royal Highness Yi Wang probably wanted to send the princess a good card, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness who kidnapped him to the Princess Mansion , he would not have returned to the court so soon, if the princess hadn't sent a dog to bark, he might not have known about the banquet. Tsk tsk, the eldest princess is really a model aunt in the world."

Shi Yang was stunned for a while, his bloodshot eyes were filled with shock: "You don't have to tell the old man about Yi Wang's stupid things, the old man really liked this kid!"

"Don't like it now?"

"That's for sure—I still like it, and you don't even think about Shixu."

"That's right, even if he does the same thing as Brother Xu, he looks more pleasing than Brother Xu."

……

After chatting with Shi Yang, Xiaoxuan played with the invitation in his hand, happily ran to Ming An's yard, and found Liu Ming'an who was putting sad mushrooms in the corner of the yard.

Xiaoxuan was already used to him like this, walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Do you want to go out to play with big brother?"

"I'm fine here, thank you." The sad mushroom drooped its head and shook its head.

Where is this transgender version of Sister Lin.Xiaoxuan got impatient and waved the invitation in his hand: "Your cousin's house, do you want to go?"

Liu Mingan raised his head and his eyes lit up: "Where are you going?"

"...If I didn't know that you are close relatives within three generations, I might really beat you." Xiaoxuan murmured and pulled him up.

I don't know if it's because of the good food these days, but Liu Ming'an finally looks fleshy, but his cheeks are still a little thinner, and his washed face is no longer dirty. He was originally fair, but he used to be in the frontier Living, and doing farm work, he tanned his fair skin to a healthy wheat color. As for his facial features, although he didn't inherit His Majesty's eyes and had double eyelids, his eyes were not small, and he had a dull temperament.

If this child could not be tearful, he would probably be a romantic figure when he was thrown out. After all, young masters in Beijing are all skinny and tender, and Ming An is a bit wild and sexy—if he is not tearful.

Arriving at Bikong's mansion, Xiaoxuan looked at the gate that was almost exactly the same as the princess's mansion, and felt a gust of wind swishing into his back, thinking that a year ago he stepped into the mansion of the princess with one foot and was caught Her Royal Highness worked with Zhang Xuchuan on the design, and had to escape from the capital with Bi Kong... If they hadn't escaped from the capital together, maybe they would never be together. Thinking about it this way, the eldest princess is really a model aunt...

As for Zhang Xuchuan, I read Li Yao's letter to him recently saying that he was promoted, but it's a pity that he was promoted in secret.Hearing this name now can't stir up any waves in Xiaoxuan's heart. It doesn't matter if he ascends or descends. As long as he doesn't block Ling'er's way, everything is still open for negotiation. If he blocks the way, then everything is negotiable .

A continuous stream of officials came in and out, Xiao Xuan led Ming An to stand aside, looking at the nervous young man whose hairs were standing on end, he felt a headache.

"Remember, you are no longer his cousin after you enter, but my cousin. If someone asks, just say that he is a distant relative of mine. He recently fought in Ziling Palace. If you don't know how to answer, don't say anything else. .”

Ming An was timid, not really stupid, so he nodded obediently.

The two went straight to give gifts and walked in. The outside of this mansion looks grand, similar to the Princess's mansion. It is probably made by the same master, but the inside is very different. Bi Kong's mansion is much more elegant and concise. There are not so many prosperous lanterns and complicated hollowing out.

"It's really concise," Xiaoxuan murmured, "This is public money, what kind of public money does he save?"

"Nonsense, save a little more public money now, and it will still be his in the future."

A familiar voice sounded, Xiaoxuan turned around in surprise: "Shi Xu? Why are you still in the capital?"

"I've been running with you for a year, and I kind of miss the delicacy of the capital, so I don't want to run away for now," Shi Xu leaned against the railing, raised his wine glass to him and drank it down, then handed the wine glass to the maid who happened to pass by. Let's go, his greedy eyes lingered on the beautiful maid's figure for a while, approached Xiaoxuan playfully, and whispered, "There are so many traps in his house, are you really relieved?"

"..."

To be honest, he was naturally a little upset, but it was impossible for him to tell Shi Xu.

Shi Xu smiled indifferently when he saw him, and said admiringly: "Not bad, I respect you for being a man. Well, I won't tease you anymore, or he will use the excuse of sparring later to torture me severely , These maidservants are all temporarily invited by me for him, His Majesty also appreciates his self-discipline, after all, he does not have a 'Wang Concubine' to manage the inner palace now, you know what I mean."

Speaking of the word Wangfei, Shi Xu winked.

Naihe Xiaoxuan had no idea about the princess, he just said: "Don't be so boring, why don't you tell me some stories about your rivalry."

"...There's nothing to say about this. It took me several times to learn from each other before I realized that he was jealous of me. When I realized that, the first thought in my mind was to cut you up."

Xiaoxuan laughed, and suddenly felt that his revenge would be avenged: "Why don't I know about you?"

"Nonsense, the two of us practice martial arts in the morning, when did you not sleep till noon?" Shi Xu sneered.

Although Ming An didn't understand what they were talking about before, after hearing this, he suddenly laughed.

Even Sad Mushroom laughed at him for being lazy?Xiaoxuan suddenly felt that the world was inhumane, what's wrong with sleeping late, didn't he become a pig after eating too much and being lazy?No delay in work?

Unexpectedly, Ming An was not laughing at him, but took two steps closer to him, and whispered something in his ear.

Xiaoxuan also laughed after hearing this, and patted his head: "It's okay, you can sleep as long as you want in the future, we won't think you are lazy."

After listening to Shi Xu's words, the child realized that the palace can sleep until noon. After Xiaoxuan heard it, he felt distressed and a little funny. Doesn't this silly child know that Ziling Palace is the laziest place in the palace? place?

The three of them chatted one after another in a remote corner, and after most people were seated, the three of them slowly went to pick vacant seats.

Speaking of which, they were not very lucky. They had been standing there for so long before, and they hadn’t been able to meet the owner who had been wandering around. In front of so many people, Xiaoxuan would consciously keep a distance from Bi Kong, and Bi Kong would also Not wanting him to cause trouble, the two have always maintained such a tacit understanding, but they haven't met face to face after so long, it can only be said that they are unlucky.

This bad luck made Ming An, who had always hoped to see his cousin, a little disappointed. After staying in the palace for a long time, he began to feel that his cousin was the gentlest person he met along the way—at least he would be very gentle on the surface, As long as you don't mess with him.

Bi Kong didn't drink alcohol, almost everyone knew about it, and no one would try to persuade him to drink. Who didn't know that Bi Kong grew up in a temple, and there are still many people here who believe in Buddhism.

He served water instead of wine all the way, but he never saw the person he wanted to see.

Didn't the invitation from Ziling Palace fall into his hands?

Just as he was thinking this way, someone slapped him on the back suddenly, and he turned his head happily, but it turned out that it was Shi Xu who came.

"I think you can extinguish the little flames of joy in your eyes without seeing me. What about the good brother you promised?" Shi Xu met his glass with him without a word, "By the way, he and his cousin are over there, If you are willing to tell me why he suddenly has a cousin."

Bi Kong looked in the direction of Shi Xu's eyes, and saw Xiaoxuan walking against the crowd to a table with fewer people at a glance. Afterwards, he couldn't listen to what Shi Xu said.

"Well, you're having fun." Bi Kong patted him on the shoulder and walked over there.

History: "..."

Should he really consider getting married?Why does being ignored feel so painful!

There are quite a few people in this house who are sent by the eldest princess, and a few people recognized Xiaoxuan, and they all wanted to tease him, but unfortunately they gave up this idea after trying it out, and instead satirized Ming An, this child I'm not used to so many well-dressed people chatting with him with a playful smile, and when he gets stiff, he makes all kinds of fools.

Although Xiaoxuan has been trying his best to help him explain the truth, but he is outnumbered. Hearing some greasy middle-aged men with beer bellies and this kid Ming An talking nonsense, Xiaoxuan really wants to throw a glass of wine in their faces.

But he knew he couldn't, because these people came here to smash Bikong's place on purpose.

"Are you really Xiaoxuan's cousin?" One of the men was holding a drink and forced him to drink, "You two look very alike, and I have never heard that Master Xiaoxuan still exists in the capital. A cousin, could it be a 'brother' in that regard?"

This man seems to be Wang Min's adoptive father, Wang Shilang. Before, they had some scruples and didn't dare to involve Xiaoxuan in those nasty words, but now seeing Xiaoxuan's fear, they feel confident.

Ming An was easy to cry, but instead he was bullied by these people, holding back his tears with his head lowered, not letting the tears flow out and throwing Xiaoxuan's face, this is probably the only comfort in Xiaoxuan's anger out of place.

Xiaoxuan smiled and blocked the wine given to Ming An, drank it all, and joked: "Master Wang is too good at telling jokes, is it possible that Sir Wang and Wang Qijulang are 'father and son' in that respect? How about this hobby? Why don’t you come and listen? I was fortunate enough to meet Mr. Wang Min once, he is indeed a good-looking talent, and I can understand Mr. Wang’s mood.”

He said that just to repay him with his own way, deliberately disgusting this old man, but for some reason Wang Shilang's originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and he glared at him angrily, his lips trembling and said: "Laugh Master Xuan is so ignorant when speaking? But he still knows the etiquette!"

"Don't get excited, my lord. Didn't you make this joke first?"

The reaction is so big, could it be that it has touched the reverse scale?But Wang Min doesn't seem to be so hungry... Or did Wang Min really rely on this way to get to the top?Xiaoxuan thought to himself.

"Hmph, Mr. Xiaoxuan should think more about himself when talking about others. Who doesn't know you and King Yi..." Wang Shilang stared at Xiaoxuan with a livid face. Everyone was winking at him, but he was stuck in the middle of the sentence, turning his head and looking behind him suspiciously.

I saw the master who was involved by his impulsiveness was standing behind him holding a wine glass, smiling and asking politely: "How are we?"

Xiaoxuan picked up the wine to cover the corners of his mouth unconsciously, the story of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is really a good story that never changes.

But it would have been better if the sad mushroom hadn't raised his head suddenly and called "Brother" to Bi Kong in surprise.
