humble minister

On the way back from the school grounds, Lian Ying felt very painful—the pain brought about by both physical and mental torture.

Lian Ying was rubbing his aching inner thigh, reckoning that the skin must have been scratched there, while enduring Jiang Bailang's broken thoughts——

"Aying, Ahying, how did you meet brother Shi Yu?"

"Aying, Ahying, since you know brother Shi Yu, why didn't you tell me?"

"Aying, Aying, does Shi Xiang know what you know?"

"Aying, Ahying, how is your relationship with brother Shi Yu? Is it very good?"

Lian Ying finally interrupted him unbearably, and sighed while rubbing his forehead, "You don't need to ask these questions anymore, I have known the Fifth Prince not long ago, so we can only be regarded as the most ordinary friends."

"The most ordinary friend?" Jiang Bailang raised his eyebrows, "I don't believe it" all over his face, "An ordinary friend would teach you how to ride a horse so seriously and carefully? I can't even get in! I can only bicker with that little girl!"

Lian Ying was ready to refute, but he didn't know why when he thought of the scene when Shi Yu taught him how to ride a horse, he couldn't say something, as if he was a little intimate.

If it wasn't for Jiang Bailang to remind him that he really didn't realize it, he realized it at this time and felt scared. At this moment, he realized that Shi Yu looked cold and repelled others thousands of miles away, but when he When he really wants to win someone over, his kindness to that person will quietly seep into his body like spring rain, and then make you completely admired by him and used by him.

Yes, this is a kind of show of favor, a kind of roundabout solicitation. It is only because he has a strange and inexplicable affection for Shi Yu that he ignores it, which also explains why this The seemingly cold fifth prince can make friends with so many people in the world.

It seems that the battle for the throne is really not easy.

"Ah Ying, what's wrong with you, why is your face so pale?" Seeing that Lian Ying's face turned pale instantly after he finished saying that sentence, Jiang Bailang hurriedly leaned forward and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired after riding a horse all day."

"That's it, then take advantage of this time to sleep for a while, and I'll call you when I get to the Prime Minister's Mansion." Seeing Lian Ying's sleepy look, Jiang Bailang didn't ask any more questions. He still knows it's weak.

"it is good."

The carriage was big enough, so there was a couch in it, and Lian Ying gave a low reply and lay down on it.

In the next few days, Lian Ying occasionally went back to the school grounds to practice horseback riding, and spent the rest of the time getting along with his family, making up for the good times he had lost in the past ten years.

As for the fifth prince, Shi Yu...he doesn't want to think about it for the time being, maybe the fifth prince really wants to win him over, but he doesn't have to be won over. It's one step.

So the ten days passed quickly, and the day of hunting finally arrived. The mighty royal guard of honor was set up from the palace and marched towards the autumn forest.

The Qiuwu Forest is a very large forest. Although the scope of the royal family's control is also very large, it is no more than one-third of the entire Qiuwu Forest.Because the forest is very large, there are all kinds of animals in it. Some people even said that they have seen wild white tigers and wolves in the depths of the forest, which makes the whole autumn forest more dangerous.Of course, this part of the royal family is still very safe. After all, the people who can go hunting here are the upper class of the entire country. If there are casualties, it will be detrimental to the operation of the entire country.

Qiuwulin is not far from the capital, and the royal guard of honor will arrive soon, and everything is ready in Qiuwulin at this moment.

This time Lian Ying set off with Shi Xiang, because in the perception of the vast majority of people in the capital, Mr. Tingyun and Prince Xiang are close friends, and only when he is with Shi Xiang can he not arouse others' suspicion.

But in this way, he was really exposed, so many people wanted to say hello and establish relationships with him along the way, but fortunately, Shi Xiang blocked them back without a trace.

"If I had known that there was a task of 'protecting the flowers' when I came back to hunt, I should have dragged Jiang Bailang with me." After arriving at the destination, Shi Xiang sat down on his seat very elegantly and complained to the people around him. with.

"Come on, you don't want to get him involved in disputes." Lian Ying pointedly exposed him.

"Ha, sure enough, Ah Ying understands me." Shi Xiang slapped the Jade Bone Fan pretending to be coquettish, with a embarrassed expression behind the fan.

"What are your thoughts before the hunting?" Lian Ying asked while watching the emperor who claimed to be "slightly ill" make a speech before the hunting on the stage with a serious face.

"What you think is what I think." Shi Xiang also looked at the stage and replied lazily.

"I didn't think about anything." He replied abruptly.

"Then I didn't think about anything." He answered kindly.

"..."

The two were silent...

The silence didn't last long, because the emperor seemed to be tired at last, and waved his hand to signal the start of the hunt. However, the emperor himself was "slightly ill" and did not participate in the hunt in person, but this did not prevent many children of the royal family, nobles, and officials Be ready to show your passion and ambition.

Lian Ying drove his horse and followed Shi Xiang, and the two wandered aimlessly in the huge forest.

"You don't hunt?" Lian Ying asked.

"Do you think my lord looks like the kind of rough man who bends a bow and shoots arrows?" The suave and suave lord Xiang shook his folding fan, looking like a handsome young man.But Lian Ying just wanted to caress his forehead after seeing it, this guy is so stinky again.

"Stop joking, let's talk about something serious." Shi Xiang closed his fan with a "swipe", pulled the reins and walked a little further, Lian Ying hurriedly followed.

"I heard from Bai Lang that you and Shi Yu have become friends. When did you meet?" At this moment, Shi Xiang's expression was rare.

"We just met each other not long ago." Lian Ying's expression was calm, and he knew what was going on. Jiang Bailang knew that Shi Xiang was not far away from knowing.

"How good is your relationship?"

"Just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friend? Can an ordinary friend treat you so well? And teach you how to ride a horse? Shi Yu has never been a person who treats people well for no reason. He must have a plan for treating you like this. The biggest plan is to take a fancy to you." Mr. Tingyun's identity and talent!" Shi Xiang was a little anxious after speaking, but when he saw Lian Ying lowered his head, his expression was still calm, and he couldn't help being angry, stretching out his hand to grab Lian Ying's hand. face, raised his chin to himself, "Don't avoid it, I'm asking you something, didn't you say that you just want to live in the world and ignore the affairs of the court? Now you and Shi Yu... what are you thinking?"

Lian Ying looked up at Shi Xiang's worried face, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled: "Ah Xiang, I know that you and Xiao Lang are thinking of me, and I also know that the fifth prince wants to win me over, but I don't know why even so I am I also really want to make this friend. What's more, I want to be free in the world, but if I can't even do what I want to do, then how can I talk about free in the world? Besides, there may be some things that we can't control."

"you……"

Shi Xiang was at a loss for words, he wanted to refute, but found that what Lian Ying said seemed to make sense.He and Jiang Bailang kept saying that they would consider Lian Ying, but they alone did not consider Lian Ying's feelings and thoughts. Maybe it was time for Lian Ying to make his own choice. All they could do was protect him as much as possible, not Blame him, restrain him.

"Hey? What are you two doing?"

Hearing the sound, Shi Xiang quickly let go of the hand that was pinching Lian Ying's chin, and pulled out the folding fan from his waist to pretend to fan it.On the other hand, Lian Ying still had a calm expression on his face, and even put on an ambiguous smile on his face, causing Shi Xiang to stare at him several times.

"I really didn't expect to meet the two of you here." Lian Ying smiled at the two people driving over, they were Jiang Bailang and Shi Yu.Lian Ying looked at the two of them curiously, they were clean, it seemed that the two of them were not in a hurry to hunt, it was really strange, could it be that each of them has become elegant?

"You guys haven't said what you were doing just now." Jiang Bailang looked curious.

Lian Ying still had a smile on his face, and glanced at Shi Xiang, seeing him looking at the sky and the earth but not at himself, he couldn't help laughing: "It's nothing, I got sand in my eyes just now, Ah Xiang just helped me blow it off."

"That's it." Jiang Bailang had no doubt about him.

"It seems that Young Master Tingyun and Second Brother are close friends as rumored." Shi Yu said lightly.

"Fifth prince just call me Lian Ying, you don't have to say 'Young Master', Lian Ying can't bear it." Lian Ying looked at Shi Yu with a faint smile, looking very sincere.

"Shi Yu is fine." Shi Yu stopped being polite to Lian Ying, so that he didn't have to call himself the fifth prince.

"Since meeting is fate, why don't we walk together together." Jiang Bailang enthusiastically suggested.

"Why does this king want to be with you?" Shi Xiang regained his original nature and began to chat with Jiang Bailang again.

"Ha, you are afraid that you will lose to me in hunting! I remember you lost last time, and it was more than a little bit." Jiang Bailang immediately fought back.

"This king is for you, so that you won't cry when the time comes." Being exposed like this, Shi Xiang couldn't get rid of her face.

"Really? Then I really want to be grateful to Dade~ Then this time, Prince Xiang must not let me, otherwise I am afraid that the one who will cry will be Prince Xiang!" Jiang Bailang went back provocatively, intending to let the teacher Xiang agreed to compete with him.

"Since you say so, it's okay if the king doesn't agree, so let's compete." Shi Xiang said, holding the whip and lashing the horse's buttocks, the horse suffered from pain and ran a long way.

"Well, Shi Xiang, you're so lazy!" Jiang Bailang was about to catch up, but he didn't forget to turn his head and say to Shi Yu, "Brother Shi Yu, Ah Ying is in your care, remember to catch up with us later. ! Then I'll go first."

Saying the same thing with the whip, the horse galloped away.

Leaving Lian Ying behind was like a mess in the wind, why did everyone leave as soon as they said it... and Jiang Bailang actually called Shi Yu and called "Brother Shi Yu"?And what about Shi Xiang, you agreed not to be a rough man who bends bows and shoots arrows?And just now he just accused himself of getting too close to Shi Yu, so what about now?

Hey, these two people, when they meet together, they are like happy enemies. They should be able to understand his thoughts and thoughts by entrusting themselves to Shi Yu's care so reassuringly.

Wait, take care?

Why do I have such an idea, does it mean that being with Shi Yu must be the one being taken care of?Hey, I don't even know what I'm thinking...

"Why didn't you go in the next few days?"

Lian Yingzheng was still tangled up, when he heard Shi Yu's faint voice asking beside him.

"what?"

Uh, I was so engrossed in thinking, I really didn't realize it right now.
