I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

After Jia Yuanchun was sent away, Kangxi felt extremely happy. He had originally wanted to take this opportunity to take Jia Cheng out to play in order to enhance their friendship.

However, what he didn't expect was that Jia Cheng refused without hesitation.

Jia Cheng said seriously, "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that I was originally planning to go and play with Prince Hongxi, but I was delayed because of my elder sister's matter.

You should just continue to deal with the pile of official business. I won't bother you here anymore. I'll go find Hongxi."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Cheng turned around and waved to Liang Xiaoliu, preparing to leave together.

Kangxi had never been rejected so decisively before. At the beginning, he did feel a little uncomfortable.

However, after being stunned for a moment, he actually felt an indescribable sense of freshness and excitement surge in his heart, and he even felt a little unable to stop.

“The reason why Cheng-ge rejected me without hesitation must be because he considers me a close friend.

In his eyes, I am not an emperor, but just his friend." Kangxi secretly tried to find a reasonable explanation for Jia Cheng's behavior.

At this moment, Kangxi inexplicably felt a sense of superiority in his heart.

After all, Brother Cheng is always polite and courteous to others.

But the only time they can be so casual and free-spirited is when facing themselves. Doesn't this mean that there is a special friendship between them?

Kangxi quickly calmed down, then smiled and told Liang Xiaoliu, "Liang Xiaoliu, you must do your best to take good care of Cheng'er.

If you encounter those people with bad intentions who try to stop you on the way, there is no need to waste time, just send them over to Wei Zhu for disposal.

If Earl Ryan is hurt even by a hair, I will hold you responsible!"

When Liang Xiaoliu heard this, he knelt down and saluted, and responded respectfully: "Yes! I will do my best to take good care of you, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

Seeing that Jia Cheng seemed a little impatient, Kangxi couldn't help but give him a few more instructions.

As Jia Cheng looked at the chattering Kangxi, the figure of Jia She suddenly appeared in his mind.

He couldn't help but wonder inwardly, why did the elders around him eventually become as nagging as his cheap dad?

He is not a porcelain doll. He is just going out to play, not to go to the battlefield.

Thinking of this, Jia Cheng felt more and more irritated and his brows furrowed.

Seeing Jia Cheng's impatient look, Kangxi said helplessly: "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go, I won't nag anymore."

As soon as Kangxi finished speaking, Jia Cheng disappeared in a flash, leaving Liang Xiaoliu, who was unable to react, to quickly apologize to the emperor.

Kangxi waved his hands impatiently, "Why don't you catch up with Cheng'er? What are you standing there for? You are not smart at all."

When Liang Xiaoliu heard this, he ran out to chase Jia Cheng.

Kangxi thought of Jia Cheng's rejection and impatience with him just now, and could not help but chuckle, feeling very happy.

This little guy has a bad temper, but think about it, the Qilin is a auspicious beast and must have an extraordinary status in the sky, so it is normal for him to have a bit of temper.

He doesn't lose his temper with others, only with me.

This feeling of being treated specially made Kangxi feel warm in his heart.

This time, Jia Cheng arrived at Hongxi's residence, Dongwusuo, smoothly.

This is where the princes live after they go into the study to study.

However, as soon as he arrived at the door, he was surprised to find that he could not squeeze in at all because the gift-giving line had extended outside the door.

Ever since the news of the crown prince's restoration spread throughout the palace and beyond, the ladies in the harem could not wait to present gifts to the crown prince and Hongxi, so much so that Hongxi's door was almost broken down by the crowd.

The dense crowd in front of him almost made Jia Cheng suffer from trypophobia.

Jia Cheng carefully observed the gifts in the hands of the palace maids and eunuchs, and couldn't help feeling a little envious of Hong Xi.

Hongxi is really overwhelmed with gifts!

However, Hongxi was not as happy as Jia Cheng had imagined. On the contrary, he felt increasingly empty inside.

In the palace, Hongxi has always lived in fear and trepidation.

Although he was favored by the Emperor, he still had a deposed father, so he was always on edge.

Who can say for sure whether the emperor's favor can last? Back then, his father was also favored.

But it doesn't mean it's useless.

Hongxi was filled with worries, fearing that he would repeat his father's mistakes and be disliked by the emperor.

He knew very well that in this palace, one wrong step could lead to many wrong steps, and ultimately to eternal damnation.

Therefore, he always remained highly vigilant and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

Whether handling government affairs or treating others, Hongxi strived for perfection and left no room for blame.

He understood that if he made even one mistake, it would be as dangerous as stepping into an abyss.

He has no one to rely on, and if he makes a mistake he will destroy his own life.

Therefore, Hongxi's mind was extremely firm, and he even closed his heart, not opening his heart to others and being wary of everyone.

He turned himself into a heartless person.

Hongxi even regarded himself as a dead man. He felt that he had died when his father was deposed.

It was he who killed the simple self he once was.

When he was taken to live with his grandfather the Emperor to receive education, he was no longer the carefree eldest grandson of the Emperor.

He shaped himself into a tool of power, and his only goal in life was to ascend the throne.

Now, the crown prince has been reinstated and there is no stain on him anymore, but Hongxi still cannot really relax in his heart.

Because he knew that as long as his father did not ascend the throne, the future of their family would be uncertain.

Even if Ama ascends the throne, it is still uncertain whether he can become the heir.

After all, Ama was not idle during his confinement, as he had many more brothers and sisters.

People came to give gifts one after another, and Hongxi just felt annoyed. He didn't know whether all these flowers and brocade and blazing fire were a good thing or not. He always felt very uneasy.

People bringing gifts blocked the door so much that no one could get in or out. Although Hongxi was annoyed, he couldn't afford to offend the confidants of the concubines in the harem, so he had to cheer himself up and treat them with courtesy.

After all, the pillow talk of those women in the harem is very powerful. If he wants to ascend to the throne, he cannot offend those vengeful concubines.

He cursed in his heart and even had an urge to kill someone.

However, in the end he tried hard to control his emotions, raised the corners of his mouth, revealed a gentle smile, and received each servant who came to give gifts one by one.

He didn't know when this torture would end. Hongxi only felt that his facial muscles had become extremely stiff from smiling.

At this moment, Zhang Youwei trotted into the house and reported to Hongxi: "Master, Earl Ryan is here to see you. He wants to play with you. Look at this..."

A hint of impatience flashed across Hongxi's eyes.

He is very busy now, and this kid comes here to make trouble.

What kind of fun is this! He is a 17 or 18-year-old adult man, what fun can there be with a 6-year-old child!

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor attached great importance to Jia Cheng and doted on him, Hong Xi would not have bothered to play with a little kid.

Although Jia Cheng has a handsome face and a noble temperament, which makes people feel happy when they see him, Hong Xi knows very well that the more tempting something is, the more one should restrain himself and stay away from it.

He must not allow himself to have preferences.

Because Jia Cheng struck a chord with Hong Xi the first time they met, Hong Xi did not take the opportunity to make friends with Jia Cheng. Instead, he became wary of him and felt alert and in danger.

He couldn't help but ponder deeply: Why did he feel so close to Jia Cheng when he first met him? This guy is really a dangerous person!

In his pursuit of power, Hongxi is determined to stay away from people and things that may appeal to him, because these are stumbling blocks that hinder his progress.

So he called Zhang Youwei and wanted him to send Jia Cheng away. However, at this moment, he had an idea and came up with a plan.

Since he was tired of dealing with the servants sent by the concubines to bring gifts, why not get away with a reasonable excuse?

If he refused to see them on the grounds that he was accompanying the emperor's favorite Earl Ryan for fun, wouldn't this be a logical reason?

If those ladies felt neglected, they could simply direct the conflict towards Jia Cheng.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

Hongxi was quite good at this trick of diverting conflicts, so he immediately put on a smile with a little sincerity and said to Zhang Youwei: "So it's Cheng Ge'er who is here, then why are you still letting him stay outside? Bring him in quickly.

Brother Cheng is young, so he can’t be left standing outside. If Grandpa Huang knew about this, he would definitely blame me.”

After Hong Xi gave Zhang Youwei instructions, he summoned another young eunuch and said, "Tell the people outside that I want to accompany Lord Rui'an. Those who bring gifts should hand them directly to Zhang Youwei for registration."

Hongxi rubbed his stiff face and walked out of the door to greet Jia Cheng. Jia Cheng was led inside by Zhang Youwei and saw Hongxi with a shining smile.

That smile almost blinded Jia Cheng's eyes. He always felt that Hong Xi was weird.

The way he stared at him was like a hungry wolf seeing a little white rabbit.

Jia Cheng couldn't help but stop. Hong Xi walked up to him, took Jia Cheng's hand without hesitation, and said gently: "Brother Cheng, why are you here? If you want to play with me, you can send someone to notify me and I will come to find you."

Jia Cheng stared at the motionless favorability bar above Hongxi's head and laughed in his heart, this guy's acting skills are really horrible.

She acted sincere and gentle, but in the end she treated him worse than a stranger.

Could it be that he had offended Hongxi without knowing it? No, that was impossible. He had been a fool for six years, so he should not have offended Hongxi.

The royal family has deep thoughts, which are really hard to understand.

The more mysterious it was, the closer he wanted to get.

Jia Cheng also wanted to see why Hong Xi didn't like him, a little fairy boy who was loved by everyone and made flowers bloom wherever he went. He just liked to challenge himself.

Jia Cheng loves to turn people who don’t like him into little dogs that wag their tails and beg for mercy.

He suddenly thought of Jia She and Jia Mu.

Before, these two people ignored him, treated him coldly, and their favorability towards him was even lower than that of strangers.

Now I am still willing to be crazy about him and bang my head against the wall for him.

This is strength!

Jia Cheng shook Hongxi's hand again, and a bright smile as bright as melting ice and snow appeared on his cold little face.

Hong Xi was distracted, and his favorability level rose to 10, and then dropped to 2.

Jia Cheng: .... Grass (a kind of plant)
