clean

When Si He turned his head, he was almost startled.

The young man behind him was wearing a black robe. It was clearly the beginning of summer, but the neckline had a circle of fluff, which made the young man's complexion like jade, and his eyebrows and eyes sharp.

He didn't know if it was Si He's illusion or something else, but he always felt that there was a layer of chill floating on this person.

Si He glanced at him nonchalantly. This person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

After all, the rest of his life was spent on Lu Yu.

"This brother, meeting is fate." Si He said with a smile, "Well, it's getting late, so I won't pursue the matter of you touching my foot, let's—see you later!"

After finishing speaking, he wanted to use the best strategy of walking just now, but someone grabbed his collar from behind.

"Apologize--"

In May and June, although it is not yet midsummer, the weather has become a bit hot, and the wind blows on the face like a layer of heat waves.

The young man's fingertips touched the back of Si He's neck, but it was as cold as ice in winter, piercingly cold.

Si He raised his eyebrows lightly, secretly marveling in his heart, this man is really a weirdo.

He put away the look of laughing just now, took a step back, cupped his hands and said: "Xia Sihe, I didn't mean to offend just now, please forgive me."

The boy glanced at him, turned and left.

Yo, quite a temper.

……

Si He was still looking around, but someone slapped his head heavily: "What are you looking at?"

He turned around and saw that it was Si Yan.

"Who is that?" He pointed to the figure in the distance, which had gradually blurred into a black spot.

"I haven't seen it before." Si Yan shook his head, he was almost familiar with the official child, but he had never seen the child just now, "I'm sure it's from Qiguo."

"Qiguo..." Si He murmured, remembering what his mother told him today.

These few days were during the state banquet, both Linyuan and Qiguo sent envoys to Chengguo to attend the banquet.Linyuan is an imperial daughter of the faction, while Qiguo seems to be the crown prince and second prince.

Is that person just now the prince?

Si He rubbed the center of his brows, and pulled his thoughts back. What he should be most worried about right now shouldn't be this, but... If he wants to be a companion, he should be able to get rid of the Fourth Prince after spending so much effort...

***

Si He looked at Lu Yu who was writing in the distance, and was slightly absent-minded.

Lu Yu was wearing a light-colored shirt and was reading a book with great interest.He has always liked clothes in warm colors, and there is a refined smile between the corners of his mouth and eyebrows, which makes people gradually sink into his gentleness.

Unexpectedly... after going around for a long time... still can't escape Lu Yu.

He should have thought about it before, the fourth prince is the son of Concubine Rong, so naturally the accompanying education and other treatment are lower than the prince's.The crown prince chose smart people, so if they are lined up next to each other, it will be his turn.

This is his calamity.

But if you get over it, it's fine.

He pursed his lips tightly, turned his back to Lu Yu, and studied the ink by himself.

Lu Yu was writing. Seeing that he was quiet, she also put down the pen and paper and came to watch him paint.

When Si He paints, he doesn't care about the world around him at all, he lives completely in his own painting scroll, every flower and grass is the world he constructed.

When he was painting, his movements were fast, his brushwork was hearty, and he slammed Fang Qiu, showing a free and easy energy.

Lu Yu was stunned. After Si He finished drawing, he said excitedly: "I haven't seen you draw before, and I didn't expect you to be so good."

Si He didn't even want to lift his eyelids, he said lazily: "Your Highness, this is just a coincidence, I have never learned calligraphy and painting..."

"Why don't you teach me." Lu Yu interrupted him, and said with great interest, "Since you are my accompanying student, why don't you just teach me, and I will present your painting to the state banquet tomorrow!"

"Si He's talent is not enough to take on this great task..."

"I told you that you taught me, what are you doing with ink! You draw so well, are you still afraid that I will steal your skills?"

"Pa——" a brush was broken into two pieces, Si He smiled and said: "The Fourth Highness is joking with me again."

This is really Lu Yu from before, selfish and unreasonable, but the smile is so dazzling that people ignore his willfulness in his bones.

"I..." Lu Yu wanted to say a few more words, but Si He stood up and bowed to him, respectfully said: "Your Highness, it's getting late, and today my mother ordered the housework to be dealt with, so Si He stepped forward gone."

"Sihe!" At this time, Lu Yu suddenly pulled his sleeve, gritted his teeth and said, "Why do you keep avoiding me every time? Do you have opinions on me and hate me! Every time the emperor rewards me, My good stuff, I never gave it to you! You still show me face like this, believe it or not... believe it or not, I will reward you with a whip and stick!"

Si He was silent, not saying a word.

Of course he knew why Lu Yu was so kind to him, because he was Lu Yu's only "friend".

Yes, the only friend who would play with him.

"Your Highness, you are too worried." Si He gently broke away from Lu Yu's hand holding his sleeve, turned around, and faced Lu Yu's distraught face.

"I've never disliked His Highness the Fourth Highness." Si He looked at him and paused, "It's just that I don't want to get too close to His Highness the Fourth."

The wind blew in from the window, blowing the hair on Si He's ears, and the light cast shadows of different shades on his face.

"Are you afraid that someone will harm you?" Lu Yu was overjoyed at first, and then deeply regretted, "It's because the prince is too powerful, and you should be so afraid..."

Si He didn't even think about what Lu Yu was rambling about, he just saluted Lu Yu again, "Fourth Highness, take your leave."

Behind him, Lu Yu's eyes gradually became unfathomable.

……

***

The next day, Chengguo state banquet.

The inner hall is resplendent and resplendent, with gold-plated wine cups shining brilliantly, and all eyes are full of decorations. The court ladies are dressed in thin smoky emerald green gauze, and the emperor Lu Yan sits in a high position, not angry and majestic.

All the people present here are rich and powerful people, Si He's father sits under the prime minister, Si He, like Si Yan, is accompanied by the prince to study, and he can be regarded as having a relationship with the royal family, so he is barely qualified to attend the banquet together .

Under the prince, there are various princesses and princes, all of whom are dignified and dignified, worthy of being members of the royal family.

He still remembered that it was also a state banquet, and Lu Yu invited him a famous invitation card. However, he was so drunk the first day that he had no choice but to be escorted by the maid to Lu Yu's bedroom to rest, and missed the day of the banquet.

……

Si He raised his wine cup, pretended to drink, and secretly looked at everyone present.

The person attending the banquet at Linyuan was Princess Zhenyi Shang Rusheng.Unlike Chengguo and Qiguo, Linyuan does not have a rule that only men can inherit the throne. If there is no accident, Linyuan's next monarch will be this girl.

Xu felt Si He's gaze, and Shang Rusheng raised the wine cup and smiled slightly.Shang Rusheng is only at the age of cardamom, but compared to the princesses of Chengguo, he is obviously slightly better.

Si He glanced across Qi Guo, and met those sharp eyes.The young man was still wearing the black robe, with a black gold thread tied on his forehead to wipe his forehead. Compared with the meeting in the garden last day, he was obviously much more silent today.

"Is that person in the black robe the Prince of Qi Kingdom?" Si He frowned and asked Lu Yu who was beside him.

Lu Yu seemed quite happy because Si He took the initiative to talk to him for the first time, "That's the second prince of Qiguo——Ji Wanghuai, and the one next to him is the prince."

"Ji Wanghuai..." Si He chewed these words carefully, feeling somewhat impressed.

If Lu Yu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed that there was a man in blue beside Ji Wanghuai, but the crown prince Ji Qingyan stood beside Ji Wanghuai, and he was immediately compared. Compared with Ji Wanghuai, there is less stability and more carefreeness of a child.

Today, the Three Kingdoms are standing at the same time, with Yuanyuan in the east and Qiguo in the north.

It was rumored that King Qi was ill, and Lord Linyuan had just recovered from his illness not long ago. Si He remembered that in three years, King Chengguo Jing would also suffer from a serious illness.

The young heroes of time can only look at the present.

"Si He, master Shushi is watching you." Lu Yu's words beside him brought him back from his thoughts.

Si He raised his eyes abruptly, and saw the man next to King Jing, with wide sleeves and a high crown, looking at him without saying a word, with an unfathomable expression.

He recognized at a glance that it was Chengguo's magician Guangbai.

The sorcerer is a destined person, with unique skills, and also a secret treasure of the country.Si He had never seen a sorcerer in the royal family so closely, and except for state banquets, there were very few opportunities to meet Mr. sorcerer.

It turns out that Master Sorcerer is like this...

"Master Shushi is really powerful." Lu Yu sighed, "Father and Emperor must respect him."

While Guang Bai was looking at him, Si He was also looking at Guang Bai.Chengguo sorcerer Guangbai can control all kinds of beasts, so it must be a magnificent scene, but if there is a war, what skills will Qiguo and Linyuan's sorcerers have.

But if the magician is discovered by the king, he will spend his whole life in this deep palace...

"What are you looking at, Master Master?" Emperor Jing asked with a smile.

Guangbai shook his head, and then looked back, he always felt that the child was a little strange, maybe it was the intuition of the magician, but the feeling was too weak, did he worry too much.

"That kid, it's not easy."

Emperor Jing followed his gaze and only saw Lu Yu who was smiling and chatting, his eyes darkened.

……

In the midst of drinking and drinking, someone smiled heartily: "I heard that the princes and princesses of your country are both talented and beautiful, and Zhenyi traveled thousands of miles to come to the banquet. I just want to see what kind of combination is it. Why don't we come and compete, and the loser will be punished." How about the wine?"

Everyone whispered, with unabashed disdain on their faces. In their eyes, women should not speak wildly in public, but Si He secretly admired in his heart that Linyuan's princess was really as rumored. Hearty atmosphere.

"Since Princess Zhenyi has spoken, who would like to compete with the princess?" Although Emperor Jing smiled, the smile was also shallow.Sure enough, Linyuan is still an uncivilized country, even a woman dares to be the emperor, no wonder she is so shameless and speaks nonsense.

Si He saw Ji Wanghuai on the opposite side whispering something to the prince next to him, Prince Qiguo got up, cupped his hands at Emperor Jing and said with a smile: "Qiguo also wants to compete with Prince Chengguo."

This is fun!

Si He has always watched the excitement without taking things too lightly, and he was happy when he felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

"Father——" Lu Yu put on a warm smile in front of outsiders again, "My minister suffered from the cold yesterday, and he was in poor health. Si He would like to have a try with Prince Qiguo on behalf of my minister."

Si He: "..."

He was about to resign, but only heard the high-ranking Master Sorcerer speak, and the voice was warm and mellow: "Then let's start."

Si He: "..."

There is really no room for redemption.
