concubines are respected

Chapter 121
Murong Haotian, who was originally following behind and intended to go with him, said such words, but abruptly stopped his steps, but his mind sank.

His eyes followed the two of them one by one and walked to the side, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart. Why are the two of them so secretive that they need to deliberately avoid themselves?

"Miss Lin, I have tried my best on this matter. Last night, I mentioned this matter to my father on the sidelines, but my father's attitude was extremely firm. It seems that this competition must be done. You should practice with peace of mind." Three Facing the woman in front of him, the prince spoke softly, and there was a trace of loss in his tone that he could hardly detect.

"Ah? So, there is no turning point?" Suxian said sadly with a look of disappointment flashing in her bright eyes.

"It's true that there is no turning point, but..." Seeing that Suxian was so disappointed, the third prince comforted in a low voice, "However, Miss Ruolin really has no intentions for Haotian, so there is no need to worry. The progress is also extremely fast, but... But according to Gu, if you want to compete with Sixth Sister, the chances of winning are not great, so after the competition, your marriage with Hao Tian must have been stranded."

I don't know why, but the third prince unexpectedly said such words, which even he despises.As soon as the words were spoken, the third prince was extremely annoyed, turned his body slightly, and subconsciously looked at Murong Haotian who was staring at him not far away, and coughed very uncomfortable, as if he was trying to hide his guilt.

This kind of feeling is like coveting the fruit of other people's trees, unexpectedly... I feel a little guilty...

"Ah..." Suxian didn't care about the expression of the third prince, sighed softly, and muttered to himself, "So what if you lose? As long as you participate in the competition, no matter whether you win or lose, Suxian will end up a competitive husband." How could Suxian be reconciled to her reputation?"

"You..." The third prince was a little astonished. Could it be that she just didn't want to be known as a competitive husband, not... not as she thought, she had no intention of being interested in Murong Haotian?
"Forget it, the holy will is so, and the daughters of the people can only do their best to avoid being charged with deceiving the emperor. Suxian thanked the third prince for his help." Suxian was a little frustrated to bless the third prince, and was about to turn around when she suddenly remembered Recalling that his silk handkerchief was still in her bosom, she quickly took out a stack of square silk handkerchiefs from her bosom, held it lightly with both hands and presented it to the third prince.

After receiving the silk handkerchief, a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, the third prince felt a bit dazed, he held the silk handkerchief in his palm, put it in his bosom, nodded to Suxian, and then turned back to Murong Hao who was not far away. Tianlue cupped his fists, turned around and strode away from the arena.

"It's time to practice archery." The third prince left, Murong Haotian greeted him with strides, and said to the absent-minded Suxian, but his piercing eyes were fixed on the other's delicate face, as if he wanted to see through something.

"En." Suxian nodded, and walked forward, leaving only a refreshing fragrance...
Looking at the back of Suxian walking forward, Murong Haotian's doubts grew more and more. Just now, he clearly saw what she handed to the third prince, but because of the distance, he couldn't see what it was.I wanted to ask questions, but I didn't know how to speak, my thoughts were churning, and my mood became more and more entangled.

In the following time, the two continued to practice arrows, but because Murong Haotian was full of worries, the atmosphere became dull which was rare.

At the end of Youshi, when the practice was over, the two exchanged fewer greetings, and Suxian wanted to turn around and leave. Murong Haotian finally couldn't bear it, pulled Suxian's wrist, and asked in a low voice, "Suxian, I I have a word, I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

"Hou Ye has something to say, just speak up." Suxian struggled a little, trying to break free from the other party's grasping wrist, but the other party had no intention of letting go, so she could only let him hold the wrist.

"Are you and the third prince hiding something from me?" Murong Haotian exerted a little force and pulled Suxian closer. The distance between the two of them was only a punch away, and even the warm breath of the other could be enough. clearly felt.

Su Xian turned her head to the side with some discomfort, avoiding Murong Haotian's hot eyes, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty is worrying too much, Suxian and the third prince are just teaching equestrian skills at best, why is there a secret?" It can be said."

"Really?" Murong Haotian leaned slightly, and got closer, his eyes fixed on the other's drooping eyelids and dark hair, and suddenly he felt that although the two were so close, but The heart seems to go farther and farther sad.

"Well, yes." Suxian still didn't meet the other party's eyes, and whispered.

"Then..." Murong Haotian murmured in a low voice, he just opened his mouth, but he hesitated but kept silent, suddenly unwilling to continue.Originally wanted to blurt out and ask, what exactly did she give the third prince just now, but the words came to her lips, but she couldn't ask after all.

If the truth would be cruel, he would rather never know the truth...
"Huh? What do you want to say?" The other party's mood became more and more depressed, and Suxian finally felt it. She raised her head and asked softly, her watery eyes looked up and down at the man in front of her with an extremely tangled expression.

"No...it's nothing, I was worrying too much." Murong Haotian reluctantly let go of Suxian's wrist, the remaining warmth in his hand was still there, but there was a void in his heart, "It's getting late, go back and rest, a little In the future, I will send Xuelu to Xiaoyaoyuan, and I believe you will no longer feel weak tomorrow."

"Thank you, Lord Hou." Su Xian blessed her body, turned around and walked towards Xiaoyao Garden...

The third prince's residence, Aofeng Pavilion, is only separated by a maple forest from Murong Haotian's Ting Yuxuan.Standing in front of the gate of Xuanyuan, looking at each other from a distance, you can also see the light reflected from the other side's wing.

This night, when it was almost Xu, Murong Haotian could not sleep, and his mood became more and more difficult to calm down. He pushed open the gate of Xuanyuan, and looked thoughtfully at Aofeng Pavilion not far away.

There are still lights coming from the pavilion, it seems that the third prince has not gone to bed yet, "Little Stone, go and fetch Benhou's best flower carving and send it to Aofeng Pavilion."

While speaking, Murong Haotian took the lead and went towards Aofeng Pavilion.

"Yes, sir, I'll go now, little one." Little Shitou, who was waiting by his side, quickly ran to the wing room.

Since Hou Ye came back from the arena today, his complexion has become ugly and tight, and a pair of sword eyebrows are almost squeezed out of water. It seems that Hou Ye must have something on his mind. Going to have a drink with the third prince at this time may improve his mood. better.

Murong Haotian walked slowly, and Xiao Shitou hurried, so that Murong Haotian just called to open the gate of Aofeng Pavilion, Xiao Shitou rushed over with an emerald green carved wine pot, "Master, the best flower carvings are here!" .”

"Well, go back and rest, the Marquis doesn't need to wait on you." Murong Haotian took the flagon from Xiao Shitou, and said to Xiao Shitou.

Little Shitou bent his knees, and turned back respectfully.

Carrying the best flower carvings, Murong Haotian strode into the third prince's wing.

The two are very close on weekdays, and the palace maid was not surprised when she saw Murong Haotian visit, so she hurriedly blessed her body and saluted, and then entered the room to pass the news.

Not long after, the door of the room opened wide, and a smiling person greeted him, "Master Hou, please come in."

"Well, go and bring some appetizers. Benhou will have a drink with your master." Murong Haotian ordered without hesitation.

The maid was ordered to go to the small kitchen.

"Brother Haotian, why is he in such a good mood today?" Just as he entered the wing room, the third prince's voice came.

In the wing room, the third prince was sitting next to the strip carved python sandalwood desk, with an open book in front of him. He seemed to be reading at night by candlelight. Although his expression was rarely dull, there were bloodshot eyes faintly visible in his eyes. He is not as energetic as he appears on the surface.

"It seems that Haotian has disturbed the third prince's elegant interest in studying." Murong Haotian smiled lightly, went straight to the side of the Fu'an and sat next to it, and conveniently put the top-quality flower-carved wine pot in his hand on the Fu'an.

"Haha, brother Haotian was joking, Gu just took a look at it casually, why did Yaxing say it. You poured it at the right time, and Gu just wanted to have a drink." The third prince laughed heartily, but his eyes avoided intentionally or unintentionally. looking at each other.

The corners of Murong Haotian's lips twitched slightly, and he said very casually, "Suxian has been practicing for two days. Although she looks weak, she is far beyond Haotian's expectation. Unexpectedly, she is capable of riding a horse and archery. Some basic skills. After careful calculation, there are still eight days before the competition, if you step up your practice, you may not be able to compete with the sixth princess."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the third prince with a half-smile, and continued to speak haha, "Haha, third prince, would you like to wish Haotian good things in advance?"

The palace maid promptly fetched the silver wine cups inlaid with emerald greens, and placed them in front of the two of them.

The third prince smiled, picked up the jug, filled the wine cups in front of the two of them with wine, and said coherently, "Naturally, I need congratulations for being so lonely."

Immediately, he picked up the wine glass, held it forward, and without waiting for Murong Haotian to raise his glass, he drank it down first, "Hey, good wine! It really is the best Huadiao wine, with a mellow aroma and a long aftertaste!"

Murong Haotian also drank it all in one gulp, picked up the jug and continued pouring wine.

"Haotian is here to thank the third prince for congratulations, hehe, but Haotian's good news is coming soon, third prince, you should plan for your own backyard." Murong Haotian said with a smile, "If the big Three Emperor's Palace, although Concubines like concubines are like a cloud, but after all, there is one less concubine who presides over Zhongfu. It is not appropriate. The fifth prince is a brother, and the emperor is already choosing a concubine for him. You have to work hard for the third prince. As a brother, how can you lag behind others."

Although the two are monarchs and ministers, their relationship in private is like brothers, if this remark is heard well by others, it seems that Murong Haotian has surpassed, but between the two, it is nothing.

The third prince picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and responded with a smile, "Father chooses the concubine for the fifth younger brother because he has a fickle temper and is too playful, so father is in a hurry to find a concubine. Can restrain him. Haven't Lord Hou heard that there is a saying among the people that 'a family has a good wife and a man doesn't make trouble'?"

While talking, the third prince took another sip, and the full glass of wine quickly drained, "The backyard of the solitary is quiet, although there are many concubines, but he never makes trouble for the solitary, the royal father is naturally relieved of the solitary... "Furthermore... hiccup..." The third prince's alcohol was mediocre, and after drinking two glasses in a row, he felt a little drunk, hiccupped and continued, "Furthermore, the matter of choosing a concubine is not trivial. Carefully choose a woman you like, otherwise, Gu would rather not become a concubine, come, brother Haotian, have another drink!"
