Quick Travel: Passing Through the Bloody World

The news that General Teng Shenyi had regained consciousness quickly spread throughout the capital. When the emperor heard the news, he was very pleased and wanted to invite Buddhist disciple Kongji to the palace to receive his reward. He also held a grand banquet to celebrate Teng Shenyi's escape from danger and to welcome him back.

General Teng Shenyi reported to the emperor that he had not recovered yet and the war in the northwest was tense, so the banquet should be simple. He also said in the memorial that he would go to the palace to meet the emperor as soon as he recovered from his injuries.

But as soon as the news came out, rumors spread that General Teng Shenyi was seriously injured and his vitality was greatly damaged. He had lost all his internal strength and was undoubtedly a disabled person.

It was for this reason that he repeatedly refused to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

"Is the news true?"

Emperor Qingfeng piled up the approved memorials and looked up at the person standing not far away.

"Your Majesty, the guards of Ding'an Marquis's Mansion are very strict, and the spies can't get in at all. We can only occasionally get a few words from the servants of Ding'an Marquis' Mansion. General Teng has been running to the study and kitchen since he woke up."

The man paused, then continued: "General Teng always looks worried after he comes out of the kitchen, and then he goes back in with some nourishing herbs... He goes back and forth like this, as if he is thinking about something."

Emperor Qingfeng nodded and picked up a memorial and said, "The rumors are not groundless. If that's the case, let the crown prince take a look."

"Why not the Seventh Princess?"

The man sounded puzzled, and then he heard a sneer from Emperor Qingfeng.

The man suddenly felt cold all over, knelt down and clasped his fists, saying: "I spoke too much."

"Since you know you're such a chatterbox, why don't you get back to work?"

"yes."

The man was about to stand up, but was startled and stopped by Emperor Qingfeng's slamming of the table.

"Wait a minute," Emperor Qingfeng turned the ring on his thumb and said, "Go check on the abbot Kong Ji of Lingbao Temple in Xianzhou. I want to know who he is."

"I obey your command."

"Then I came over."

In the courtyard of Teng Shenyi's Ding'an Marquis Mansion, a man in black brocade clothes waved a folding fan and pinched a grape with his other hand and threw it into his mouth.

The man had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and his facial features were regular and handsome. He had an air of majesty. If it weren't for the way he sat in an awkward manner, his appearance and demeanor alone would be enough to make people feel intimidated.

And this person was none other than Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng.

Teng Shenyi flipped through the book in his hand and rolled his eyes when he heard this: "Is it a glorious thing to ask you to come and see me? This shows that the emperor neither trusts me nor his son."

Xiahou Sheng nodded in agreement: "You are right, that old man is really smart, he doesn't believe a single thing."

In the eyes of Emperor Qingfeng, Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng and General Teng Shenyi always argued with each other whenever they met, and they also had their own opinions on the political affairs of the court. It was impossible for the two to be in the same camp.

But Emperor Qingfeng didn't know that Xiahou Sheng and Teng Shenyi had become friends almost as close as brothers.

Asking Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng to inquire about Teng Shenyi's current situation is like taking off your pants to fart.

In response to Xiahou Sheng's rebellious behavior of insulting his father, Teng Shenyi chose to keep silent and continue reading the book in his hand.

Xiahou Sheng: "...I wanted to ask you when I entered your yard, what are you looking at?"

Teng Shenyi said nothing and pushed the book in front of Xiahou Sheng.

——How to make exquisite food

Xiahou Sheng's expression froze, shock written all over his face.

"Are you crazy?"

Is this really a case of being able to both work in the parlor and in the kitchen?

Teng Shenyi sighed and covered his face with the book: "I was thinking, why is this kitchen harder to enter than a battlefield? I can distinguish the various movements of the enemy and know what tricks they have in their stomachs, but I really can't tell what the word 'appropriate amount' means!"

Prince Xiahou Sheng, who was helping his wife at home, nodded in deep agreement.

Thinking of his wife, Xiahou Sheng said with a proud face: "My wife's cooking is really delicious. Every time I eat it, I want to swallow my tongue together."

As he spoke, Xiahou Sheng raised his eyebrows proudly.

Teng Shenyi pulled the book down and hummed, "I also have someone to cook for me, and it's delicious."

Xiahou Sheng caught the key point: "Who is it? Could that person be the reason why you have been blowing up the kitchen for so many days?"

"...Don't worry about it. I can do it anyway."

"laugh."

Xiahou Sheng sneered.

"I see that you haven't won the other person's heart, so you are too embarrassed to tell me who that person is."

"Don't push my buttons. Without my help, how could you and the Crown Princess win the beauty so quickly? Xiahou Shen alone is enough to give you a hard time."

Xiahou Sheng rubbed his shoulders and said, "Don't mention him to me. I am so unlucky to have such a perverted brother... My wife has long said that she doesn't like him, but Xiahou Shen still pestered me until I married her and she came to my palace. Xiahou Shen didn't give up."

"..."

The story of how the Sixth Prince Xiahou Shen pursued the most beautiful woman in the capital was a hot topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

He pursued her with gold, silver, and jewelry, followed her on horseback along the streets, planted ten miles of crabapples to confess his love, and even climbed over the high wall of the Prime Minister's Mansion to give her flowers.

Then the graceful girl waved her whip and told Xiahou Shen.

"Sixth Prince, I have already said that I have someone in my heart."

"Besides, I don't like crabapple flowers."

To outsiders, this is a sad ending where one person is deeply in love with the other, but the other already has someone in his or her heart.

In the girl's eyes, it was a complete perversion.

He rode a horse and followed the carriage on the long street of the capital in public, planted a bunch of crabapple flowers that he didn't like to confess his love, and climbed the wall in the middle of the night.

The self-righteous affection pushed a girl to the forefront.

If the man she was engaged to was not the Crown Prince Xiahou Sheng, perhaps none of the noble men in the capital would have dared to propose marriage to him, and in the end she might have really been forced to marry Xiahou Shen.

Liking someone shouldn't put people in an awkward and dilemmatic situation.

Teng Shenyi touched the book with his fingers and pursed his lips.

If Pei Yu really had no feelings for him, wouldn't his persistent behavior cause trouble to him?

Seeing Teng Shenyi like that, Xiahou Sheng knew everything: "Don't take everything into your own hands. Just the fact that you have been practicing your cooking skills here for so long, how can you compare to that show-off Xiahou Shen?"

"..."

Seeing that Teng Shenyi was still wavering, Xiahou Sheng slammed the table and said, "Just tell me, where are you two at?"

Teng Shenyi's ears felt hot when he heard this.

"Just, kiss... once."

"Did he refuse?"

Teng Shenyi raised his hand to support his chin and frowned: "It seems... a little bit?"

Xiahou Sheng continued: "Did he wipe his mouth after the kiss?"

"……No."

"Did he scold you after the kiss?"

"...No."

Xiahou Sheng slammed the table again, and was so excited that he forgot to say: "Then he is shy, absolutely! Let me tell you, if a man kisses another man, and the one being kissed doesn't scold you or despise you, then he is definitely a homosexual like you!"

"..." It sounds like there is some weird truth in this.
