Where the heart goes, where the dream goes

Chapter 4

Su Jingji took a look at his father, and realized that his father had no objection at all, so he couldn't help but envy his younger brother.However, when did the younger brother discover his father's doting on him?

"However, it might not be appropriate to bring it into the palace." After a long silence, Su Moyan took the initiative to speak.

Su Yue opened his eyes, nodded and said: "It's really not right."

Today, His Majesty invited all the ministers to enjoy the flowers in the backyard. If the cat followed their family into the palace, how would his father explain this matter to His Majesty?If he really brought the cat into the palace, I'm afraid that today's action will become something that others will argue about in the future.

Su Jingji frowned, "Then it's better to put the cat in the car."

Leopard Cat seemed to understand Su Jingji's words, and grinned at him to show dissatisfaction.

Su Moyan stroked the leopard cat to calm its emotions, and nodded in agreement with the elder brother's proposal, "Just do what the elder brother said."

"Meow!" Leopard cat called it one more way than usual. It seemed that it was very dissatisfied with staying in the car, but luckily it was well-behaved along the way.

After arriving at the destination, the leopard cat struggled to get out of the carriage. Su Moyan looked at the leopard cat, and silently stroked it to comfort him. In the end, the leopard cat still didn't follow Su Moyan.

Su Yue talked to the butler, and then led his family to the palace. The leopard cat's eyes were fixed on Su Moyan who was leaving.

The family walked to the front hall and saw a father-in-law standing there. He didn't say much when he went up, and briefly explained why he was here and started to lead the way for them.

Su Moyan and Su Jingji walked side by side behind their parents. Su Jingji noticed that his younger brother had clenched his fist tightly just now, and then slowly loosened it.This younger brother himself has never seen it clearly. I don't know if it was right or wrong for the Su family to choose him as the companion of the prince?

There are many palaces in the palace, and the decorations are all extreme. The officials in the front hall discuss affairs, and the concubines live in the back hall.

Su Moyan lightly skipped the surrounding scenery, and quickly walked behind his mother. The elders didn't speak, and those of the younger generation didn't dare to speak. Fortunately, the flower viewing spot is not far from the front hall to the back hall.

The eunuch who led the way left on his own after leading the way, and the behavior of the eunuchs in the palace was not as greedy for money as the folk rumors said.

"I came in this palace once when I was ten years old." Su Jingji pulled Su Moyan's sleeve, led him to find a seat, and sat beside his mother, afraid that Su Moyan would be distracted. When you came here for the second time, you were already this big, little brother."

Su Moyan picked the grapes on the fruit plate and ate a few, but he didn't respond much to the words of the elder Su Jingji.

"General Su, it's rare to see you! Your wife and children are gathered here, I'm really envious of others!" The one who greeted Su Yue was the prime minister on the left, with a big belly, and before his figure came into view, his stomach took a step forward.

Su Jingji tugged Su Moyan's sleeve underneath, signaling him not to say hello.Sure enough, Su Yue chatted with Prime Minister Zuo familiarly, and the other party left first on the grounds of inconvenience.He just glanced at Su Moyan from the last line of sight, and Su Moyan shuddered all over. This feeling was like a snake staring at its prey, and he was that prey.

Not long after, the Holy Majesty Shi Shiran came into the banquet without a concubine or concubine.The officials worshiped, and Su Moyan looked up at the holy face when the sage called "Pingshen".For a moment, I felt that the Holy Majesty had known each other, was it an illusion?

Appreciating flowers is a very elegant thing, and naturally there are topics to test the talents of the children of the officials' families, such as writing poems, dancing a song, playing the piano and drawing pictures.But all the topics had nothing to do with the Su family, so Su Jingji and Su Moyan were naturally happy to have nothing to do, and most of the delicacies on the table went into their stomachs.

All the performances at the dinner party, as long as anyone who has participated in the Shengshang's birthday banquet can see that these programs are specially performed for someone's birthday.However, my empress dowager has already passed away, and today is not the birthday of the sage, and the sage did not bring a concubine with him, and the birthday of the crown prince is not today.Who is so capable and so gracious to the Holy One?

Su Moyan touched the wine cup with his lips, but did not get any of the liquid inside. Except when he saluted just now, he didn't know the etiquette and looked up at the Holy Majesty, and was reprimanded softly by his father. Su Moyan didn't seem to have any discomfort. And courtesy of the move.

Out of curiosity, Su Moyan looked up at the current holy face while saluting, and was spotted by the holy majesty.Fortunately, the Holy Majesty didn't seem to want to pursue it, and Su Moyan finally let go of the uneasy mood he had been holding.

"The Xu family's daughter-in-law's score is very beautiful, I appreciate it."

Nowadays, the Holy Majesty rarely speaks, and every time he speaks, it is nothing more than giving exam questions and rewards to the children of the courtiers.However, this time he started talking too much, "I heard that today is the birthday of the second son of General Su. I wonder if Su Moyan, the second son of General Su, is here?"

The ministers had an epiphany!This banquet was originally specially set up for the second son of the Su family!If it was this person, they would understand.Su Moyan, the world rumored that he was a child prodigy alive, and it was rumored that he was scheduled to be accompanied by the prince.

"Thank you for my emperor's kindness, the inferior son of the minister's family is here."

As soon as Su Yue knelt down, Su Moyan quickly knelt down with his mother and elder brother. Now that he was personally called by the Holy Spirit, he secretly felt something was wrong.

"I don't know who is it?" The Holy Majesty glanced at Su Yue's family from above, and his eyes fell on Su Moyan, but he still asked knowingly.

Su Moyan raised his head and replied, "Your Majesty, you are a grassroots." If you are not an official, you should call yourself a grassroots.

As soon as Su Moyan spoke, everyone began to look at him. The title of prodigy made Su Moyan full of mystery. In addition, Su Moyan seldom left the house, and the world's description of his appearance was even more exaggerated. .Looking at it now, he was just a young man with outstanding looks.

"Get up." The Holy Majesty's eyes met Su Moyan, and he turned away unnaturally, "Su Moyan, I heard that your qin skills are unparalleled in the world, and even Qin Xi praised you quite a lot. Come up and compose a piece."

"Yes." Su Moyan bit the bullet and stepped onto the stage, touched the strings with his fingers, and then calmed down. He searched many songs in his mind, and finally played a piece full of idyllic meaning.

The status of the Su family in the imperial court is very dangerous, he dare not play too radical tunes, the only way to protect himself is to put his affection on the mountains and rivers.

After the song was over, everyone didn't come back to their senses. The Holy One laughed, clapped his hands, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, today I have seen why some people say, 'This song should only exist in the sky, but how many times can it be found in the world? Smell.' After listening to it today, it really does exist! Come and reward me!"

The eunuch Wen Ling took out the reward that he had planned to give to Su Moyan, and put his hands in front of Su Moyan's eyes, which was half of the jade pendant. Seeing the jade pendant, Su Moyan's face changed, and he subconsciously glanced at the person sitting above. Immediately withdrew his gaze and took the reward, "The grass people thank the emperor for the reward!"

From Su Jingji's careful observation at the beginning to his deliberate behavior now, it can be seen that he has a strong sense of rejection for this strange dinner, especially when he thinks of the agreement between the current emperor and his father, he is even more irritable, nibbling on the wine The tooth shell of the lamp truly reveals the mood of its owner.

As soon as Su Moyan returned to his seat, Su Jingji hurriedly picked up Su Moyan's hands and observed carefully, rubbing those ten fingers together, as long as there is nothing wrong. "It frightened me." Su Jingji whispered to Su Moyan.

Unexpectedly, this move was noticed by the sage above, raised his eyebrows, and continued: "Su Moyan, you will stay in the palace tonight and have a conversation with me."

Quiet... There was a moment of silence around.

Su Moyan opened his eyes wide and looked at the person above. This person is good at Shaoguang. He knew it when he saw half of the jade pendant. This jade pendant was contained in the wooden box he took from Shaoguang today. One half, the two halves fit together, just right into shape.A small Shao character is engraved on it.

For the young emperor, Su Moyan couldn't figure it out, so he quickly knelt down and saluted, "The grass people obey the order."

The Holy Majesty seemed to have got the answer he wanted, leaving Su Moyan and his party behind and drove away.The Su family who stayed alone was silent, so silent that it seemed to be isolated. It was a silence that could not be inserted by the surrounding singing and dancing sounds.

"What's this?" Su Jingji asked in a low voice, which was not too abrupt at the banquet.When he first heard the emperor's request, he suddenly wanted to laugh. What's the point of asking such a question now?But I still couldn't help but say it, as if I was dissatisfied.

"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a disaster that can't be avoided." Su Yue peeled a crab for Su Moyan, "Just relax, since the Holy Majesty told you to stay in the palace in front of the officials, naturally he wouldn't do anything too extreme things."

Originally, Su Moyan didn't think about anything, but when he heard what his father said to his eldest brother, and then saw his mother's expression, he swallowed the words of his acquaintance with Shao Guang.What do they seem to have misunderstood?

"Xiaoyan, didn't you realize that the words His Majesty praised your piano skills just now are very familiar?" Su Jingji clenched his fists, seeing Su Moyan's confused expression, he already understood.

"Just now he used the same words when he praised the Xu family's daughter-in-law." Su Moyan couldn't help but find it funny that Shaoguang used the words to describe women on him, no wonder everyone felt strange.

Su Jingji held Su Moyan's hand tightly, "It is rumored that the reason for the emperor's long absence in the harem is because he likes men!"

"Eh?" Su Moyan blinked, and suddenly smiled, "Nonsense. If it's true, then where did the prince come from? Why do concubines exist?"

Su Jingji's heartbroken look made Su Moyan want to laugh even more. These people really thought too much.
