I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion
Chapter 131 Brother Hongxi
Kangxi noticed the curious look Hongxi gave Jia Cheng and introduced him to him with a smile: "Hongxi, this is Jia Cheng, the grandson of the late Duke Rong.
Because of his meritorious service in offering prescriptions, Cheng Ge'er was conferred the title of Earl of Rui'an by me. Although he is still young, his medical skills are quite superb.
He presented me with a method of cowpox which was effective in preventing smallpox and a cure for the disease.
Having such a miraculous prescription is a blessing for the people and the country! It seems that God really favors our Qing Dynasty!"
In fact, Hongxi was naturally well aware of Jia Cheng's identity and background, otherwise he would not have come to visit him specially.
However, when he heard that the emperor actually valued such a young child so much, Hong Xi couldn't help but become more curious about Jia Cheng.
So, Hong Xi stared at Jia Cheng with a smile on his face, and said slowly: "So it's Earl Rui'an, I didn't expect that you are so knowledgeable about medicine at such a young age, you are really a young talent!
Compared to you, I seem to be useless. In the future, we should have more exchanges. I want to learn from you so that I can better help Huang Mafa solve problems in the future."
After saying this, Hongxi bowed slightly to show his respect, which was like the attitude of honoring a wise man to a humble person.
Kangxi was naturally very satisfied to see that Hongxi was so smart and studious.
Seeing that he was able to show kindness to a child who was only six years old, not caring about age but only looking at ability, we can tell that he has a good heart and good character.
Kangxi admired Hongxi's broad mind very much. He liked the fact that his eldest grandson was bright and cheerful and did not hesitate to ask questions from others.
Kangxi valued his eldest grandson very much, so naturally he hoped that he would have more contact with Jia Cheng.
After all, Jia Cheng is the reincarnation of a unicorn and is born with good fortune. It might be good for Hong Xi to have more contact with him.
Hongxi was very enthusiastic, but Jia Cheng was much colder, as if he didn't know how to deal with this sudden closeness.
In response to Hongxi's kindness, Jia Cheng just greeted him politely and looked very distant. After all, the two were not familiar with each other.
Liang Jiugong held his breath and observed the emperor's expression. This was the emperor's eldest grandson, and Earl Ryan dared to neglect him.
He felt sad in his heart that Earl Ryan was still too young and was becoming arrogant due to the favor he received. He didn't know how long this favor could last.
Liang Jiugong thought that the emperor would be cold and angry at Earl Ryan's neglect, but he found that the emperor was still smiling.
He was shocked, thinking that Uncle Ryan was really capable!
Kangxi didn't care at all about Jia Cheng's coldness towards Hongxi. After all, Jia Cheng's identity was not ordinary. He was a unicorn, a god, and had the capital to be proud.
Besides, how can gods look down on mortals?
With this comparison, Kangxi felt better when he thought of Jia Cheng's dependence and closeness to him.
I am indeed different!
However, Kangxi still hoped that Jia Cheng could bring Hongxi to play together so that Hongxi could get some fairy air.
So he said, "Hongxi, take Cheng Ge'er for a walk. The weather is good today, you two can go out and play for a while."
Hong Xi readily agreed. He also wanted to get in touch with Jia Cheng more and see what was different about this child.
Hong Xi took the initiative to hold Jia Cheng's hand and wanted to take him out. Jia Cheng's first reaction was to struggle. After all, he always felt that it was a bit strange for two grown men to hold hands.
Hongxi looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was not a child like Hongli, which made him feel uncomfortable.
Besides, he and Hongxi are not familiar with each other, so why does this guy seem to be so familiar with him?
Hongxi noticed Jia Cheng's reluctance, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense. He held Jia Cheng's small hand. His pair of white and slender hands looked weak and powerless, but full of strength.
He used some skill to pull Jia Cheng out of the door. As soon as he walked out of the Qianqing Palace, Jia Cheng struggled to pull his hand out.
Hongxi did not stop him and let go readily.
Hong Xi seemed not to notice Jia Cheng's unhappiness, and still looked gentle, "Brother Cheng, let me take you to the Imperial Garden. The scenery there is nice."
Jia Cheng's face was full of rejection, "Big Brother, I'll go by myself, Xiao Liuzi is with me.
Aren’t you busy? You must have a lot of things to do and don’t need to accompany me. "
Jia Cheng thought that since he was already here, he naturally had to see the Imperial Garden while in the palace, but he didn't want Hong Xi to accompany him.
He always felt that Hongxi didn't look like a good person.
Hongxi smiled even more gently, making the little palace maid beside him blush.
"I am very busy, but it is also important for me to accompany you to visit the Imperial Garden. Let's go. Are you afraid that you can't walk? Then I will carry you."
As Hong Xi was about to bend down and pick up Jia Cheng, Jia Cheng's hair stood on end when he met those affectionate eyes, and he quickly took a step back.
"No, no, I'm not tired, let's go quickly."
Upon hearing this, Hongxi reached out and held Jia Cheng's hand. This time Jia Cheng did not refuse. What a joke! Hongxi wanted to hug him as soon as they had a disagreement. It would be better to hold hands.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to the Imperial Garden. Jia Cheng looked around, trying to see if there were any concubines involved in the palace fight in the Imperial Garden.
The result was very disappointing to him. He did not encounter any concubines running around in the imperial garden. It was very quiet here.
Hong Xi pulled Jia Cheng to a pavilion, where a clever eunuch brought cushions and quickly prepared tea and snacks and placed them on the table.
The young eunuch helped Jia Cheng and Hong Xi wash their hands. Hong Xi picked up a piece of milky white dessert and handed it to Jia Cheng's mouth, saying gently: "Brother Cheng, do you want to try the milk cake? It's delicious."
Hongxi was very enthusiastic, as if he couldn't see Jia Cheng's distant look.
Jia Cheng shook his head gently, "No, thank you."
Hong Xi put down the snacks with a bit of disappointment, waved his hand to let everyone around him leave, and only the two of them were left in the pavilion.
Hongxi's smiling face was full of grievance. He looked at Jia Cheng seriously and asked softly: "Brother Cheng, do you have some prejudice against me?
I really treat you as my younger brother. I feel close to you as soon as I see you.
Why do you avoid me like the devil? We should be close.
After all, your father was my father's study partner, and he even held me in his arms when I was a child.
Do you have a misunderstanding about me, or do you not want to be close to me, the abandoned prince's lineage, because my father has implicated your Rongguo Mansion? "
Hongxi sighed deeply, exuding a melancholy temperament that made people feel pity for him.
“Actually, I understand that you don’t want to get close to me. After all, my father is the deposed prince, and if you get too close to my family, you won’t end up well.
In fact, I didn’t mean to implicate you, I just felt happy when I saw you, and I have never been like this to others.
Do you know that I left my father and mother when I was young and grew up with Huang Mafa. Huang Mafa was very kind to me, but I sometimes felt lonely.
Those cousins all kept their distance from me, and I seldom saw my brothers and sisters who were born in the mansion.
I really want to have a younger brother. When I saw you for the first time today, I felt like I had known you for a long time, as if I had known you in my previous life.
I was just being sentimental. I'm sorry, Cheng-ge, please forgive my recklessness."
Hongxi's eyes, as bright as stars, were slightly tearful, and the corners of his eyes were a little red, which made people feel pity for him and couldn't help but comfort him.
Even a hard-hearted old man like Jia Cheng couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
In fact, Hongxi did nothing wrong. He just had a pair of sentimental eyes, but one cannot decide one's appearance by oneself.
Hongxi was very open with him and seemed quite sincere, so Jia Cheng let down his guard, not wanting to make Hongxi sad because of his prejudice.
"Big Brother, I have no prejudice against you, I'm just a little shy.
Who your father is does not affect my friendship with you, and I will not choose to be close to you or distance myself from you because of your family background.
When I interact with people, I only consider their character. You are very good, and you must be a gentle big brother.
No one will dislike you, so don’t be sad.”
Jia Cheng really can't bear to see beautiful women crying. It must be said that Hong Xi is as gentle as water, and his aggrieved look is so cute that people can't help but ravage her.
Jia Cheng even wanted Hongxi to cry more miserably, which would definitely have a different flavor.
He coughed lightly, feeling that his idea was a little perverted.
Hongxi put on a smile again after hearing what Jia Cheng said, "Will Brother Cheng like me too? Then why are you still so distant with me? Just call me Brother Hongxi instead of Big Brother."
Jia Cheng felt that there was nothing wrong with a title, but he let it go with "brother". He always felt that calling him was like laying eggs, cluck cluck.
"Brother Hongxi."
Hongxi reluctantly accepted the title, then picked up the milk cake that Jia Cheng had refused and put it to Jia Cheng's mouth.
Seeing Jia Cheng eating the milk cake obediently, Hong Xi finally revealed a satisfied smile with a faint light flashing in his eyes.
