Chapter 15
Rong Li stared blankly at the spot as the other party took off his coats one by one, leaving only the thin white undershirt.
Then he stared blankly at the other party who walked to his bed and sat down, then raised his eyes to look at himself, "Little raccoon, come here."
Rong Li: Is the prince calling me?
Chu Xingzhou saw that the other party didn't move, and said a little funny, "Is the little raccoon going to stand there all night?"
Rong Li was a little dumb, and it took a while to say, "Wang Ye is going to sleep here tonight?"
Chu Xingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, motioning him to look at his clothes, "Obviously."
……
Rong Li was lying on the floor of the bed, with his hands folded on his stomach, lying very peacefully and well-behaved. The distance between the two was less than an arm's length, and they could touch each other with a little movement.
The surrounding area was quiet, with the steady and rhythmic breathing of the people next to his ears, and Rong Li didn't dare to move. At first he thought he was going to do that tonight, but he thought of many excuses, but none of them worked. superior.
What King Rui said about going to bed was really lying on the same bed, the two of them covered with a quilt, and slept very peacefully.
Rong Li also breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to make any small movements, and stood on the bed as if stiff.
It was a bit uncomfortable to maintain the same posture all the time. Rong Li thought that the other party had fallen asleep without any movement, so he moved his hands and feet a little, and turned his head to the side just to see the small nest in the corner of the bed.
Rong Li: He misses his little bird cub now, and he doesn't know where he went.
Thinking of his cute cub, Rongli felt a little relieved, and gradually fell asleep after a while, while Chu Xingzhou, who he thought had already fallen asleep, opened his eyes in the dark, without a trace of sleepiness in his eyes.
He turned his body slightly, looked in the direction of Rongli in the dark, what was he thinking?
After an unknown amount of time, a warm body suddenly rolled into his arms, and his warm breath fell on his neck. Chu Xingzhou's heart, which was still thinking about things, instantly softened.
He lightly pulled him into his arms, kissed Rongli's forehead in this position, and slowly fell asleep.
Rong Li was awakened in the morning, and he dreamed about that ridiculous night again, the dark night, the bright red eyes, and the sore body.
He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then remembered that King Rui slept with him last night, and when he looked to the side, he was no longer there, and the place where the other party slept was no longer warm.
The dim light coming through the window paper indicated that the sky was not yet bright.
Are you in such a rush?
Rong Li knew that King Rui was the ruler of the court, no matter how many people there were, he would not be clear about it. It turned out that it was true that the court would leave before dawn in the morning.
Imagine the appearance of King Rui standing in front of the palace, how magnificent is that?
It's fine to think about this kind of thing, a small person like him has nothing to do with that high place.
Rong Li lay on the bed without getting up, pressed one hand on the back of his head, and gently touched his lower abdomen with the other. There was an inconspicuous bulge on the originally flat lower abdomen. Although you can't see anything directly, you can touch it with your hands. Can feel different arcs.
He has to start looking for a reliable doctor as soon as possible, and it will be a little troublesome when the stomach really shows up.
After lying down for a while, he got up before dawn. When he opened the window, he saw that a servant had already started cleaning the yard outside. Ah Yu probably didn't expect that he got up so early today, so he didn't bring in any water.
Rong Li stood at the window for a while, and the fresh air in the morning made people feel refreshed.
He suddenly remembered that he wanted to borrow the study room from the prince. After thinking about it, he decided to give up. He had already decided to leave later, so there was no need to have too much contact with the other party.
Hope nothing like yesterday will happen again.
After breakfast, Rong Li asked about Miss Ayu.
"Miss Ning hasn't been out of the residence for the past few days." A Yu added after finishing speaking, "I told you the other day that she went to Lanzhitang again the day after she entered."
Rong Li drank a bowl of very soft, glutinous and sweet red bean porridge, and was very satisfied. "Has she gone to Beijie?"
Ayu: "No."
Rong Li only knew about this incident in her previous life, but she didn't know when it happened. "Keep people following her. If you see her going to North Street, follow her closely."
Ayu: "Yes, my lord."
Rong Li finally took Ah Yu out today. Yesterday he said he would go to the bookstore but failed, so today he will naturally continue.
There are actually quite a few bookstores under the imperial city, and it is unrealistic to visit them all in one day, so I brought Ayu along to read more books.
He is not very interested in the great ways of the country, and only picks books about anecdotes and strange things, and when he is lucky, he can find some interesting ones.
When Rong Li approached the first bookstore, he ran into someone looking for trouble before he started reading.
He originally wanted to turn around and change homes when he saw someone, but the other party followed him directly.
"Isn't this Young Master Rong Liu? Why don't you stay in your kennel-like yard?" The visitor was about the same age as Rong Li, so what he said was not pleasant.
Rong Li frowned and didn't want to talk to him, and walked forward, as if the other party wasn't talking to him.
The other party was annoyed by Rongli's attitude, and asked the servant behind him to grab him, but was blocked by Ayu, who was dragged staggeringly because of his small stature.
Rong Li hurriedly supported him to stand still, and said displeasedly, "Zhao Xing, don't go too far."
Zhao Xing looked like you can stand me, "Who told you not to answer me."
Rong Li had a dazed expression, "Oh, I thought it was a dog barking, and I wondered where the dogs came from on the street."
Zhao Xing's face turned red, "You!" As he said that, he was about to do it.
Rong Li took a big step back, "This is on the street, do you really want to do it? Are you afraid that your father will put you in confinement again?" He knew that Zhao Xing was causing trouble all day long, and he heard that he had offended someone not easy to offend a while ago. He was locked up and released only a few days ago.
Zhao Xing likes others to support him. If he can't be provoked, he doesn't lie low and become a petty person. If he is far away, but his family background is not as good as his, then he must be praised, otherwise he will trouble you. .
Rongli and Mo You, as a duo of unfavored bastards, were often picked on when they were in school. Mo You was not often picked on because he was surrounded by a tall and burly Mo Nian. Rongli was different. There was no pain at home. Both himself and the young servant are thin and small, which is an excellent target for bullying. Although Zhao Xing is only a son of a small merchant family, relying on the sister-in-law who married into the prime minister's mansion, he can bully Rongli, who is not favored. Shuzi of the Hou family, that's very easy.
Because Rongli usually stays with Mo You, and with Mo Nian in charge, he doesn't dare to do anything, it doesn't matter how he makes trouble in private, as long as he makes trouble publicly, he will be punished.
If you can't hit him, your mouth will be dirty, especially because you have a good relationship with Rongli's fifth brother, you have entered Rongli's yard and experienced the attitude of Rongli's mansion, so you are more confident in ridicule.
What made him even more angry was Rongli's indifferent appearance, just like what he said before, most people would be angry when they heard it, but Rongli could act as if he didn't hear anything.
Seeing more and more people looking this way, Zhao Xing gritted his teeth, "Come with me!"
Rong Li rolled his eyes at him, he looks like a fool?Just let me go?
"Would you like me to be Jinmanlou? If so, I'll go." Rong Li replied.
Zhao Xing: "You are dreaming!"
Jinmanlou is the most expensive restaurant under the imperial city, there is a table there, half of the purse is empty.
Rong Li waved his hand, "Then don't talk about it." Then he turned and left.
Zhao Xing looked at the lively crowd around him, he couldn't go up and drag him anymore, he didn't want to be locked up again.
Rong Li obviously knew that the other party didn't dare to catch up. Zhao Xing just didn't talk about the door and was used to being superior, but he couldn't call it evil. He didn't bother to pay attention to it. It's just that the other party's temper is at the foot of the imperial city, and sooner or later he will suffer a lot. .
A Yu squeezed the place where he was grabbed just now, the boy next to Zhao Xing was using too much force, his little arm must be turning red.
"Why is Mr. Zhao still like this?" A Yu complained a little, for so many years, he always caught his son saying those hurtful things.
"Don't worry about him, just pretend you didn't hear it, it's nothing serious anyway." Rong Li comforted him, "Let's go quickly, the next bookstore is a bit far away." It's impossible to turn around, he doesn't want to run into Zhao Xing again .
……
When returning to the yard with a pile of miscellaneous books at noon, I ran into the empress dowager who had just walked to the gate of the yard.
Rong Li actually wanted to turn a corner and go out again at that moment, but the other party had already seen him and waved to him with a smile.
Reluctantly, he had no choice but to step forward, because with a stack of books in his hands, Rong Li couldn't move, so he could only bend slightly to salute, "I've seen Madam."
The concubine asked the people behind her to help Rongli take the book, and then asked, "You just came back?"
Rongli nodded obediently, "Yes."
The concubine turned her head and glanced at the cover of the book held by the person next to her. It was an idle book, but she didn't say much.
She walked and said, "I had someone prepare lunch, and you just came back." Then she remembered something, "Have you eaten outside?"
Rong Li shook his head, "Never." In fact, he had already eaten, but he thought he could eat a little more, and the cubs in his belly helped him share a lot.
The concubine narrowed her eyes with a smile, and her Danfeng eyes, which were similar to King Rui's, had a perfect arc, which was extremely charming.
Rong Li thought to himself, King Rui also laughed like this?
The food prepared by the concubine was natural and exquisite, even if the raccoon was not hungry at all, he would eat half of it.
After the meal is the point.
Rong Li drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, and then heard the empress dowager ask, "Did Xingzhou spend the night with you last night?"
Rong Li almost choked himself with a mouthful of water, so he could only nod, "Yes."
The concubine looked as if a big stone had landed in her heart, "Okay, very good, these years sailing is neither close to women nor men, and I don't say anything. I am also worried in my heart as a mother, just afraid that he will I have never had a confidant by my side in my life." With a reassuring look, he patted the back of Rongli's hand lightly, "You are a good boy."
Rong Li didn't know what to answer, what did the empress dowager tell him?He's just a guy.
He said with a stiff smile, "It's my good fortune to be with King Rui."
The concubine was very satisfied, and then asked inadvertently, "Then how did he behave at night?" Seeing Rong Li's blushing face, she understood that it was true, and she continued to say , "You know, Xingzhou is 28 years old, I always wonder if there is something wrong with him, and I can't find anything with the imperial doctor, so I come to you to ask, and I don't need to go into details , as long as I know that he is in good health, I am relieved."
Chu Xingzhou's mother really thinks that her son has physical problems, so she doesn't want to be close to women. Otherwise, there would be no 28-year-old man, and there wouldn't even be a shadow of a cub.
Rong Li pretended to be calm, but the crimson color on his face gave him away, "Very, very good."
Chu Xingzhou, who had just climbed up the wall, was startled by the conversation between his mother and his wife, his feet slipped and he fell straight to the ground.
The author has something to say: Chu Xiaoji failed again.
