Chapter 43: bothersome
In fact, Li Hao doesn't look ugly, but he just doesn't feel so comfortable.
Shi Jin saw at a glance that this person grew up in a honey jar and was spoiled by his family. Not only does her body exude the powdery smell that only women have, but she also looks thin and decadent, and her cheekbones are even slightly sunken.
Although Shi Jin does not like to judge people by their appearance, but when he encounters a dude like Li Hao who is ignorant and only steps into the world, he still chooses to distance himself, intentionally or not, and it has never happened. The situation at this moment.
Shi Jin covered her chest, trying not to make her heart beat so hard.
All his struggles were in vain.
He looked towards Li Hao as if possessed by a demon, and his footsteps seemed to be under control as he walked towards Li Hao. In the end, as if he had changed his personality, he couldn't help but speak: "You are?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wen Liang, who had already blushed, suddenly gathered up his courage and stammered: "Hui, King Xuan, the villain is the eldest son of Wen Changqing, the former Minister of Rites."
Shi Jin didn't even look at Wen Liang, his eyes were always fixed on Li Hao, who had a confused look, he said, "This king is asking you."
Wen Liang was stunned.
written on the face.
However, Shi Jin couldn't see his expression, even if he stood in front of Shi Jin, he was like a wisp of wind that could not be seen and felt.
Only Li Hao exists.
Li Hao, who was staring at Shi Jin's attention, didn't feel good. He somehow felt like a meat bun of himself was being missed. Goose bumps fell to the ground, but he faced Shi Jin's hot eyes had to bite the bullet and bow his hands, saying respectfully, "King Hui Xuan, the villain was born in the Li family in the south of the Yangtze River, and he is Li Hao, the son of Li Wen. I came here specially for my father to celebrate the birthday of the eldest princess."
"Li Hao..." Shi Jin muttered Li Hao's name, he was very sure that he did not know Li Hao, and had never seen Li Hao before today.
But why...
Whenever he saw Li Hao, he felt his heart beat faster, and his eyes were uncontrollably attracted by the other party...
Before Shi Jin came up with a reason, behind him, Eunuch Zhu approached lightly.
"His Royal Highness is resting inside." Eunuch Zhu made a gesture of invitation, "King Xuan, please."
The contemplative Shi Jin was pulled back to his thoughts by Eunuch Zhu's sudden voice, he looked thoughtfully at Li Hao, who did not dare to look at him, flicked the hem of his clothes, and turned around into the shed.
Eunuch Zhu looked at the nervous Li Hao and the desperate Wenliang, and quickly withdrew the smile he had just faced Shi Jinshi, and said shrilly: "You guys come in too. "
Wen Chi, who was sitting in the shed, was very uneasy. He held a cup of hot tea in both hands, but he didn't take a sip for a long time. He looked down at his frowning face reflected in the tea. , couldn't help but sigh.
He didn't understand, why does Shi Ye always like to provoke Wenliang?
If he hadn't understood Shi Ye's character, he would have begun to wonder if Shi Ye was interested in Wen Liang... But now the plot in the novel has changed somewhat, Shi Ye likes Wen Liang too Not impossible.
But after a while, Wen Chi thought more and more.
At this time, Eunuch Zhu also led Li Hao and Wen Liang into the shed.
Li Hao never dreamed that he would one day be fortunate enough to meet the present Prince, he was both excited and at a loss, for a while he didn't even know how to place his hands, so he was in a hurry with Wen Liang He bowed to His Royal Highness.
Compared with Li Hao, Wenliang, who follows behind, is much calmer, but if you look closely, you can find Wenliang's expression is numb, as if wandering in the sky, only those careful eyes are always brooding from time to time Looking in the direction of , unfortunately Shi Jin's attention was all focused on Li Hao.
Wen Chi vaguely noticed the subtle atmosphere between the three, and couldn't help but wonder.
Although the meeting time of the protagonist Gong Shou had to be brought forward with the "help" of Shi Ye, Shi Jin, who is the protagonist, should not ignore the gentleness of the protagonist Shou to this extent. , and Shi Jin's eyes on Li Hao are really indescribable...
Is the plot of the novel changed? Or is Shi Jin only tempted when Wen Liang plays the piano?
The atmosphere in the shed was rather strange, but Shi Ye didn't notice it at all, and waved his hand to let the servants who were waiting on the side make tea for Shi Jin, and asked in a very light tone, "The fourth is looking for this palace for something. ?"
"Oh, it's not a big deal." Shi Jin was named by Shi Ye, and finally took his attention back from Li Hao, he smiled, "I have nothing to do, just by chance. The emperor's shed is next to me again, so I wanted to come and chat with the emperor."
Shi Ye said: "What do you want to talk about?"
Hearing this, Shi Jin subconsciously raised his eyes and looked at Wen Chi with a complicated expression. He originally planned to take this opportunity to discuss the Jinzhou locust plague with Wen Chi. If he could get some from Wen Chi A good idea, of course, is the best.
But since he saw Li Hao, he has been restless, the whole person is not right, and he has no energy to ask Wenchi about the locust disaster.
Shi Jin reluctantly suppressed the ** who looked towards Li Hao, twitched the corners of his mouth, and revealed a wry smile: "Since the emperor has guests at the moment, why don't I come back later? All right."
Shi Ye propped his chin sullenly, glanced at Li Hao and Wenliang who were standing there like two elementary school students, and said indifferently, "If you want to stay, where are they? What kind of guests are they, they are just two people called by this palace at will."
As soon as these words came out, Li Hao and Wen Liang's bodies tensed a lot.
Wen Chi was also depressed.
Look at Shi Ye's squeamish appearance, it really reflects the villain's early scenery vividly, I'm afraid that the more he swears at this moment, the more he gets slapped in the face later .
Shi Jin smiled and didn't speak again, but his eyes still drifted to Li Hao's side.
Shi Ye seems to be accustomed to Shi Jin's temperament and ignores him, and turns to look at Li Hao and Wen Liang. fell on Wenliang.
He said, "Gentle."
Wen Liang suddenly heard his name and was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Yes."
"Tell me." The corner of Shi Ye's mouth evoked a smile that was not a smile, like a cat teasing a mouse, "Why is this palace looking for you?"
"Little man..." Wenliang raised a heart in his throat, blocking his breath, he said anxiously, "Little man does not know..."
Shi Ye suddenly let out an unintelligible laugh: "You Wen family broke their promises, stole the beams and replaced the pillars, and replaced your precious son-in-law with other people and stuffed it to Ben Gong, Ben Gong sees your younger brother On Wen Chi's face, I don't care about you, but now that you took the initiative to send it to your door, do you think this palace will let you leave this peach blossom banquet in a good manner?"
Wen Liang's face turned completely white with a swipe, he couldn't control his weak legs, he slumped to the ground with a slump, and after realizing it, he quickly straightened up Kneeling down, begging for mercy in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness, spare your life, the villain is just confused for a while, the villain knows he is wrong."
Shi Ye smiled: "Bengong sees that you don't know anything wrong."
Wen Liang was too frightened to speak, and his body shook like a sieve.
Shi Ye seemed to like watching Wen Liang like this, and after admiring it for a while, he gradually calmed down: "It seems that this palace is too kind, and it makes you feel guilty after making a serious mistake. If you have the guts to come and hang out in front of Ben Gong, since Wen Changqing can't take care of you, then Ben Gong will take care of him."
"Your Highness, Prince, spare your life! Your Royal Highness, spare your life!" Wen Liang had never been so frightened, and his soul almost flew out of his body.
His eyes were red, and tears rushed out, and in the blink of an eye, his face was full of tears. It was the first time he saw His Royal Highness the Prince, and it was the first time he was frightened by the majestic aura of the royals. almost fainted.
However, Shi Ye didn't seem to hear his begging voice, and shouted: "Zhu Xian."
Eunuch Zhu immediately walked to Wen Liang's side: "The servant is here."
Shi Ye didn't bother to look at Wen Liang, who was about to faint from crying, and waved his hand: "You look at the disposal."
Gong Zhu said: "Yes."
Wen Liang watched as Eunuch Zhu summoned the two guards. He was so anxious that he couldn't even care about his face, and turned his eyes for help to Shi Jin, who was watching from the side: "King Xuan, please Please, I don't want to die yet, please..."
Shi Jin was still thinking about Li Hao, but suddenly Wen Liang grabbed the leg of his trousers. He was stunned and didn't even know what happened.
Wen Liang saw that Shi Jin had no plans to save him, and a burst of despair filled his heart, he had to turn to Wen Chi: "Wen Chi, please help me to say good things to His Royal Highness, obviously You were involved in that, and you knew father would do that..."
"Too noisy." Shi Ye said impatiently, "Take him out."
Then the two guards clamped Wen Liang's shoulders one by one, and dragged Wen Liang away without any effort.
For a while, the shed was quiet.
Shi Ye was so disturbed by the gentle and earth-shattering cries that he had a headache, he closed his eyes and rubbed his brows.
"Brother Huang has always hated people who love to cry." Shi Jin sighed, "It's really hard to be a brother of Huang."
Wen Chi: “…”
At first, he was thinking about whether to ask for mercy for the protagonist Wenliang, but when he heard Shi Jin's words, he was so frightened that he quickly swallowed the words that had circled around the tip of his tongue for several times.
Forget it, he, who is also a crybaby, should not rush to his death.
Wen Liangcai came in less than a stick of incense and was taken out again. This sudden change made Li Hao, who came in together, startled. leave.
It's a pity that he didn't come and go whenever he wanted. He felt that his legs were too soft to support the weight of his body, but he had to hold on and continue to stand. on.
At this moment, Shi Ye's eyes turned to him.
Li Hao noticed Shi Ye's gaze wandering around him, and he almost slumped to the ground like he was just gentle.
"As for you, Li Hao..." Shi Ye's hesitant voice sounded, as if he was recalling something, "Ben Gong seems to have heard this name somewhere."
Eunuch Zhu said at the right time: "His Royal Highness, you may have forgotten that he is Li Hao, the son of Li Wen of the Li family in Jiangnan, and one of the main criminals who kidnapped and imprisoned a folk woman three years ago. Although the matter was not a big deal at the time, several adults have mentioned to you a few words, but those adults said that Li Hao had been taken into custody, and I don't know why he was released so quickly."
Li Hao: “…”
Shi Ye let out a long sigh: "Bengong remembers it, so you are that Li Hao."
Li Hao was stunned, how could he think that he was just here to participate in a peach blossom banquet, and someone had found out about Chen sesame rotten millet a few years ago.
And the person who came up with that was His Royal Highness…
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, spare your life, the villain has paid his due punishment, the villain has changed himself and become a new person." Li Hao knelt on the ground with a bang, kowtow and begged.
Shi Ye lowered his eyes and looked down at Li Hao: "In just three years, how can you reform yourself?"
After that, he called again, "Zhu Xian."
Eunuch Zhu hurriedly said: "The servant is here."
Shi Ye indifferently instructed: "Throw him back to prison and imprison him for another thirty years."
When Li Hao heard this, he rolled his eyelids and fainted on the spot.
However, this did not affect the actions of the guards, and immediately stepped forward and dragged him out like a dead fish.
However, no one noticed that the red thread that Li Hao casually draped around his neck fell out during the dragging of the two guards, and landed on the grass without a sound. The stone reflects the crystal light in the sunlight.
After the two guards dragged Li Hao away, a pair of black boots stopped in front of the stone.
Then a hand picked up the stone.
Shi Jin watched Li Hao being taken away, he felt very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell the reason for the discomfort, so he got up and said goodbye to Shi Ye, ready to go back to his shed to rest.
Wen Chi hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but say: "His Royal Highness, are you going to kill Wenliang?"
Shi Ye didn't answer and asked, "Do you want this palace to kill him?"
Wen Chi shook his head: "Although my relationship with him is indeed not that close, I don't want him to die at the hands of me or His Royal Highness."
Hearing the words, Shi Ye paused, turned his head to look at Wen Chi with an unpredictable expression, his eyes could not tell whether he was happy or angry, as calm as a lake without ups and downs: " You hate him?"
Wen Chi still shook his head.
Shi Ye said stubbornly, "Give me a reason."
It's not because he's cowardly, he's afraid of retaliation by the Wenliang system, and even more afraid of being attacked by the protagonist's halo.
However, it is absolutely impossible to say these words, he can only change it euphemistically: "I don't want to kill people."
Shi Ye, who received this answer, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed out loud.
After a while, Shi Ye raised his hand: "Do you know how many lives this hand of this palace has killed?"
As the saying goes, the more you know, the quicker you die. Wen Chi didn't want to know how many people Shi Ye had killed. He held Shi Ye's hand in midair.
Shi Ye stared at him in surprise.
Wen Chi said solemnly, "I believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just in self-defense."
After he finished speaking, Shi Ye suddenly grabbed Wen Chi's wrist with his backhand.
Wen Chi: “…”
Fuck…
He had a hunch that he would be crushed in the next moment.
Just when Wen Chi was about to stand up, he suddenly saw Eunuch Zhu in the corner of the light, lifting the veil and walking in: "His Royal Highness, the banquet is about to start, please ask His Royal Highness to move... "
The voice stopped abruptly.
When Eunuch Zhu realized that something was wrong, the teacup on the low table was already in the air and rushed straight to Eunuch Zhu's forehead.
Shi Jin rested for a long time before feeling that the inexplicable heart palpitations were relieved a lot. He suspected that he was ill or had eaten something that should not be eaten. He planned to go back to the doctor at night to have a look Voila.
After the banquet begins, all the people in the shed have to move outside.
Shi Jin came to his seat a little weakly and sat down. Facing the good wine, good food and the enchanting and beautiful dancing girls, he could not show any interest.
I don't know how long the banquet was going on, the princess' maid suddenly took out a small ball woven from wicker, saying that the long princess beat the small drum with her back to everyone, and everyone passed it in order of position small ball.
Finally, the drums stop and the person who gets the ball needs to perform a talent.
When everyone heard the words, they applauded.
The eldest princess slapped the drum face with great interest, and the small ball was passed down by everyone in turn.
The eldest princess beat for a long time and suddenly stopped.
"Who got the ball?" The long princess turned to look and said with a smile, "The person who got the ball should get up by himself."
As the voice of the eldest princess fell, everyone looked in one direction very tacitly.
Wen Chi also looked in that direction curiously.
The plot in the novel is that Wen Liang relied on this game to have the opportunity to play the piano in public, but Wen Liang was taken away by Shi Ye's people not long ago, and this plot should also change...
Soon, Wen Chi saw a tall man standing up a little shyly, he blushed and struggled for a long time, and with great difficulty he uttered a sentence: "I am a rough man. It’s not much, why don’t I play the piano for everyone.”
Wen Chi: “…”
At the same time, Shi Jin, who was wandering about, suddenly looked up at the man. He recognized the man. He was a well-known military general in the imperial court. trust.
But why...
Why did the emotions that he finally calmed down roll over again? His heartbeat was even faster than before.
