MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 96
The fifth prince looked at the large group of people beside him, and then looked at the **** the other side, who was solitary, invisibly confident several times, and said in a smooth voice: "This is not our unparalleled heroic master Ling. The future bride?! Yo, Madam Cheng, why are you wandering alone today?"
It turns out that Zhai Li is right, the fifth prince's brain is indeed not very good. He didn't say that Shaoshang's identity was fine. The younger brothers in the back were eating tofu one by one with frivolous and oily eyes, thinking that Shaoshang was also a plump girl who had a close relationship with the Fifth Prince. , but the power is not worth mentioning. As a result, when the fifth prince said that Shao Shang was Ling Budo's fiancée, the faces and eyes of the group of young princes changed.
There are gossip people whispering - 'This is the little lady that Ling Budo wants to marry, she looks good', 'I don't think very well, I'm not tall enough', 'You are so vulgar, You can grow in size slowly, it doesn't matter if your face is marked or not', 'You're not tacky, you've been staring at people for a long time'...
Some good people are eager to move - 'Hao Le, there is a good show to watch today', 'The surname Ling is usually invincible, hum, there are times when he is bored', 'That's right, anyway It's all counted on the head of the fifth prince, let's watch a good show is'...
It is not good for those who are vigilant to wake up—'the fifth prince will embarrass her later, let's help the leader', 'exactly, don't make trouble, we can't fall well',' Ling Zisheng had a seizure, and he couldn't possibly implicate me in waiting'...
Those who are timid have begun to move their footsteps - 'Let's not get involved, Ling Budo is not easy to mess with', 'But the fifth prince...', 'Ling Budo and the fifth prince, Who are you willing to offend', 'Let's avoid it while no one is paying attention'...
Young Shang has seen the different behaviors of these young masters, but unfortunately the fifth prince who is behind his back has no idea, and he is still eloquent: "There is a beautiful woman, you will never forget it; if you don't see it for a day, Thinking like crazy; helpless beauty Xi, not in the east wall; when will I see Xu Xi, comfort me..."
Shao Shang frowned and said, "Isn't this a gift from Master Sima, did your Highness memorize two sentences less? Isn't 'Feng Fei Soaring' after 'Thinking Like Crazy'?"
There were a few chuckles from behind, and those who wanted to escape also stopped.
The fifth prince blushed: "What do you know, I am borrowing Yong, borrowing Yong!" - This time, it is not that the fifth prince has missed the book, it is indeed a popular one Rhetorical way, it is a pity to meet a semi-literate who does not read.
"So it is." Shaoshang lowered his voice, "It's because the concubine lacks knowledge, please continue reading, Your Highness."
"We haven't seen you for a few months? Didn't we just meet yesterday?" Shao Shang interrupted very enthusiastically, "Have you forgotten, Your Highness, it was in the Changqiu Palace, when you were there Was..." He was dragged in like a dead dog for questioning.
Shao Shangzhen lowered his head lightly, with a docile and innocent face: "It's the concubine who talks too much. The concubine has a mean face, and I don't dare to be your Highness's faulty praise. Your Highness, please continue to praise... oh no, please continue. Say it."
The fifth prince took a few deep breaths and felt that his liver was trembling with qi, but he could not attack. After taking a few breaths, he smiled coldly, "You used to have a poor family background, but you are only the daughter of an official. But since you climbed up to Ling Budo, Zhenri is arrogant and doesn't take me seriously. I didn't expect to bump into you today. Come up to me!" As he spoke, he sneered a few times, in order to increase his intimidation.
! But if you do it, Your Highness, the brothers will respect you as a man, and then burn a few sticks of earthen incense during the New Year's and festivals, and you will be able to share the joy of wine and meat.
Shao Shang did not reply, but his expression became more and more low, and he was unhappy: "...there will come and go, there will be consequences, the joy of the past, the suffering of today. God will never be in vain benefit you."
Seeing her like this, the fifth prince could not help but soften his tone: "You have Ling Budoubt's backing, who can bully you? Who can pretend like this!"
Shao Shang did not speak, looked at him pitifully, then lowered his long eyelashes and said nothing.
The fifth prince was stunned, and his tone softened inexplicably: "Uh, this, someone is really bullying you, why don't you tell Ling Buxuan, he will vent his anger for you, or tell This prince..."
Shao Shang remained silent, but gave him a more melancholy look.
The fifth prince flashed: "Ah, could it be that the one who bullied you is Ling Budo..." After saying this, he suddenly realized that Cheng Shaoshang looked much thinner than a few months ago. His expression was also haggard than yesterday.
In front of weak and beautiful girls, most men will have excess imagination, and the fifth prince is one of the majority. Therefore, even if the girl has a reputation for being unruly, even if he has seen the girl's sharp teeth and sharp mouth, at this moment, he is very smooth to move his thoughts in the direction he wants—
Condition 1: Ling Budo has a cold face and a cold heart, and treats others coldly and cruelly.
Condition 2: The girl just looks at the powerful nest, but in fact she has no power to fight back against Ling Budo's bullying.
Conclusion: Ling Buxuan bullied Cheng Shaoshang.
Shao Shang slowly raised his head, and there seemed to be a flash of water in his eyes, the Tao was ruthless but affectionate (in fact, someone made himself affectionate).
The fifth prince swallowed and said, "What's the... sad thing, you might as well tell this prince..."
At this time, his bones were not only soft, but he was almost crispy, the kind that was fried and crunchy. He was already at odds with Ling Budo, not to mention Cheng Shaoshang's appearance was the type he liked.
So he immediately turned around and let those playmates go first, and said that he had something to say to Mrs. Cheng.
Bad things happen.
However, Ling did not suspect the murderer, and the fifth prince took the initiative to ask them to go, so the responsibility was taken away, so after a moment of hesitation, everyone quickly walked away—essentially, meeting and both The five princes who are unloved and powerless are not serious people with a sense of responsibility, but most of them are idle children or doted children in various noble families.
Seeing that there was no one around, the fifth prince immediately took a few steps forward to pull the girl. Shao Shang took advantage of the momentum to turn around gently, and lightly walked towards the lake in front of him. The fifth prince was like a silly donkey with a carrot hanging on his forehead, so he followed.
As he walked, he babbled: "Ling Budo is bullying you, right? I know that his usual beautiful appearance is all fake! Hmph, but the father who lied The Queen Mother and all the adults all believed him! But he deceived others, but he couldn't deceive me! I have been bullied by him before, and I know best how he is... sinister and cunning. , you tell me! He scolded you, he had a romantic affair in private, he... he beat you..."
Thinking that Ling Wusu is actually a scum who bullies weak women with a human face and a beast heart, the fifth prince is all excited, his forehead is bright, his heart is hot, and he wishes he could be a hero who can help the weak once again. Unexpectedly, the girl never said a word, only lowered her head gloomily and walked slowly into the depths of the forest.
The beauty is like jade, even a young man like the fifth prince who is not at all elegant, can't help but be restrained.
"How does Ling Budo treat you?" The fifth prince asked softly.
Shao Shang looked at the distance, and saw a pale golden lake pavilion in the shimmering lake.
The girl's voice was a little vague: "His Royal Highness, look at that pavilion. When I first saw it, I thought it was really resplendent and beautiful. Who knows, the queen later said that the pavilion was from The roof and the pillars are all damaged. It looks good from a distance, but in fact it is crumbling. My mother told me not to go in, who knows if it will collapse and hit me. Your Majesty is frugal and has been hesitating whether to demolish it or not. Now, let’s find a skilled craftsman to repair it…”
The fifth prince pricked up his ears and listened attentively, and quickly mobilized his whole spirit to think, all kinds of rhetorical devices such as similes, metaphors, borrowing objects, anthropomorphism, etc. flashed in his mind, and then he suddenly realized, and enthusiastically understood: "Miss Cheng , you, you suffered..."
The girl seemed to have a feeling, and walked slowly to the lake. The water waves that were photographed covered the smooth large stones at the edge. Also standing on the stone.
Shao Shang lowered his head: "His Royal Highness, you have come to comfort the little girl today regardless of your past suspicions, which shows your kindness. I used to be young and ignorant, and I could not tell the good from the bad. Take it to heart..."
"
"His Royal Highness is a great husband with a big heart, and the concubine is very impressed. However, sometimes the concubine thinks wildly, if there is something between the concubine and you today, will the marriage between the concubine and the Lord Ling be impossible? "
The smile on the face of the fifth prince froze, and suddenly the girl's eyes changed when she looked back. Instead of being weak, it was full of sharpness and calmness, as if looking at a prey that fell into a trap .
He suddenly felt a sense of unease, and he put his hands around his neck in a hopeless manner, and laughed dryly: "You, don't think about it! First, calm down, calm down. What is your marriage? The father is the master..." At the same time, he secretly cursed at himself, just a little girl, not as tall as him, not as strong as him, what is he afraid of?
What…"
& nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; & nbsp; Ling Budo's hind legs are just to add some blockage to him. If it really ruins Ling Budo's marriage, the royal father will definitely skin him alive!
"If you think about it again, Ling Budo is actually quite a good person! He's good-looking, has a high position, and is much stronger than my powerless and powerless prince! Little lady, don't be for a while Impulsive, you will regret it in the future!"
Shao Shang took two steps forward, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed: "I knew no one could help me, and His Highness was afraid of being implicated!"
With one foot, the outstretched hands were brought forward by the girl, and then the girl squatted down agilely, turning her arms to push his back. Hearing a thud, the fifth prince slammed into the lake.
It was too late to speak, and Shao Shang immediately picked up a bamboo pole that was two or three feet on the ground and pushed it hard against the shoulder of the fifth prince who had just floated from the water. He saw that his arm was about to touch The fifth prince of Anshi pushed his head away.
The fifth prince was covered in brocade robes and soaked in water, and he was scared to death. He couldn't reach the shore before, and he couldn't swim in the back. Are you crazy? I don't know water. You want to murder the prince.' Yunyun.
Shao Shang ignored him. There was a beast-shaped stone lampstand on the shore. She neatly inserted the bamboo pole into the carving gap in the middle, holding one end with both hands, and the other end against the lamp in the lake. The fifth prince, looking at the people in the lake's difficult thrashing, suddenly felt high-spirited, and the style of the past reappeared.
The fifth prince floated in the water holding one end of the bamboo pole, looked around, and kept scolding himself for being really stupid like a pig.
Cheng Shaoshang just walked out from here, she must have been optimistic about the terrain here, and also remembered that there was a long bamboo pole on the ground, so she led herself to be fooled. He wanted to shout loudly, but the trees were dense and no one passed by, and all the companions who were just talented had gone far again.
He still had a glimmer of hope, and he forced a smile and coaxed: "Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, Ling Budo is bullying you, if you really don't want to marry Ling Budo, then just say it. It's all on me, I must..."
"Hahahaha, Your Highness is so strange. When did I say that Lord Ling bullied me, and when did I say that I didn't want to marry Lord Ling." Comfortable.
"You, you, you...you didn't say that just now..." The fifth prince couldn't go on, eh, this little servant didn't seem to say anything.
"What did I say, I just said that if there is a cause, there will be an effect, and the pavilion is empty." Shaoshang rolled his bright eyes, "His Royal Highness said a lot of Ling adults. Bad words, what is insidious, cunning, anyway, I will see His Majesty every three or five times, and I will study hard with his old man."
There was a roar in the fifth prince's head, and he scolded: "You, you, you little bitch, you dare to play with me, I will kill you! Come on, come on, I'm going to feed you to the dogs, to the wolves... gudu, gudu..."
Shao Shang lifted the bamboo pole in his hand up, according to the principle of leverage, the bamboo pole at the other end was pressed down, and the fifth prince was immediately pressed into the water and took a few sips, and then slowly loosened the bamboo pole , let the fifth prince float like a ball.
The fifth prince held the bamboo pole and choked on the water with difficulty: "You, you little..." He gritted his teeth and endured the 'mean servant' son, "You have the guts, and you are not afraid that I will report back to the father and the emperor afterwards. Mother, will you be punished for your sins?!"
Shao Shang nodded slightly: "Your Highness is right, since that's the case, I'll do it again and again, so that Your Highness will never be able to play it." After speaking, he had to lift a bamboo pole again. .
The fifth prince was terrified: "Don't, don't, there is something to talk about! Can I not tell you? Really, I really don't tell, a man and a man, how can he be as knowledgeable as a little girl!"
Shao Shang raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Your Highness doesn't have to coax me, firstly, you can't fool me with His Highness's ability, and secondly, I'm not afraid of your Highness to sue me. It was said that His Highness wanted to belittle me. Today, we met by chance, and His Highness was entangled. The two of them chased and pushed His Highness accidentally into the water. Then His Highness floated farther and farther. Say, who will you believe?"
"You fart!" The fifth prince's eye mask was congested, "I am the prince, and I will enjoy a first-class title in the future, what are you, relying on Ling Budo's pretentious little servant, others will believe You don't believe me?!"
Shao Shang did not say anything else, raised the bamboo pole again, and asked the fifth prince to drink a few sips of water, when he finally floated up, she calmly said: "It really counts, Master Ling is here After only staying in the palace for more than five years, you framed him non-stop six times. In the first two years, some valuable vessel was broken, and during the fight, it was pushed to the master who came to the palace to teach, and in the next two years, there was flirting with the palace maid. , beat up the young prince, etc... about once a year, Your Highness is truly commendable."
Half a year. Fifth Highness, you said, who will your Majesty believe more this time?"
The face of the fifth prince, which was originally frozen by the lake, turned pale, but now it turned red again: "Ling Budo's mouth is fast enough! I'm just joking with him, and besides, why has he ever forgiven me? In those years, the father and the emperor have finished punishing, and he will come to clean up me again..."
Shao Shang smiled and secretly thanked Zhai Yu for providing these old and interesting stories.
The fifth prince seemed to have a deep resentment towards Ling Budo, regardless of the difficulty of breathing in the water, he tried his best to scold Ling Budo. Difficult to read. After scolding for a while, he was out of breath and said, "Why don't you ask, why did I find Ling Budo not pleasing to the eye from the beginning!"
Just, you can't even get into trouble. If there are some disturbances from time to time, Your Majesty will probably not remember His Highness."
& nbsp; I don't dare to compare with a few imperial brothers, but Ling Budo is an old man. The emperor's father taught literature and martial arts by hand, but he didn't bother to look at me..."
"If your Highness's parents die, and your relatives are killed and injured, in exchange for His Majesty's attention, your Highness must be happy?" Shao Shang said coldly.
Shao Shang continued: "Actually, Your Highness knows very well in his heart, whether there is Lord Ling, your Majesty treats His Highness will not make any difference, but this... is not something that can be said for children." This will be traced back. On the way of Xu Meiren's pregnancy.
The Fifth Prince was silent.
"...Why did you deceive me here?" The fifth prince felt that his hands and feet were getting colder and colder, and decided to put the old enemy down for the time being, and it was important to escape first.
Shao Shang smiled slightly: "Your Highness and Lord Ling grew up together, but today, it seems that Your Highness knows Lord Ling far better than Lord Ling. Xu Meiren loves His Highness, and there are many things that His Highness is not allowed to touch. So, Your Highness can't swim so far, has never hunted in the forest, so far only a few tricks of three-legged cat kung fu - even with my little self-defense tricks, I can still fight against His Highness. Look, Lord Ling is against His Highness. Be clear."
The fifth prince was exposed, and his tears were almost out of anger, and he shouted: "Ling Budo is too deceiving! He is omnipotent, and he preaches my shortcomings everywhere. …”
"Don't worry, Your Highness, Master Ling didn't say all of this." Shao Shang smiled, "Lord Ling also said, Your Highness, although you are not diligent, you read books well. Unique insights. You don't like the classics and scriptures of Confucian scholars, you prefer exotic customs, ancient Miao gods, but unfortunately you are too timid to walk in those remote and barbaric places in person, so you can only work in the old Look up the stories in the bamboo slips and pottery pieces, or hold your head up and wait for a hero like Bowanghou, who travels through mountains and rivers to bring back anecdotes."
The fifth prince's face was blue and red, and he didn't know whether it was cold or angry, or moved. He always thought that Ling Budo looked down on him, that he had accomplished nothing, but he didn't expect...
"These things I like can neither be used in the world, nor can I write a book to say, the father and the emperor are completely disdainful, and they are of no use." He muttered.
No matter how good the reading is, it is only necessary for the situation. The fifth prince knows that what he loves is neither used in the court nor welcome by His Majesty, but he still strives hard, and can be called a pure heart. What others appreciate, do not appreciate So what, others know what, no one knows what, as long as you are happy to read, I will go even if thousands of people go." Who can't cook chicken soup, change her family secretary to stir up feelings, and you will be able to make friends with the fifth prince that day. What's more, being a prince doesn't have to worry about starving to death. Maybe the more brothers are like this, the happier the prince will be when he ascends the throne in the future.
No one ever said such a thing to the fifth prince in his life, he was so overwhelmed with emotion, he almost forgot that he was in the cold lake now, and it was the cruel and cunning little girl in front of him Pushed down alive.
your state!"
"Not yet." Shao Shang said.
The fifth prince shouted aggrievedly: "Then what are you going to do!" It's shameful to be a prince to do his job. Is she still unwilling to give up? !
Shao Shang smiled and said, "I just want to make friends with His Royal Highness."
The fifth prince's eyes were like copper bells for a moment, he could hardly believe his ears, bared his teeth and said: "You, you put me in the water, how dare you say that it is to make friends! You! Where is the rule of making friends!"
Shao Shang said sternly: "Yes, I really want to be friends with the Fifth Prince, but this is a long story..."
"I'm still in the water, so keep the story short!" The fifth prince felt that if he really died today, he must have died from freezing or drowning, but from anger.
The young businessman pressed the bamboo pole in his hand a little to make the fifth prince on the other side float more relaxed in the water, and then said: "Actually, I have quarreled with Lord Ling these few days... a small matter. That's it, it will be reconciled in a few days, Your Highness, don't make such a big lip... We had a fight, and then Lord Ling refused to let me out of the palace."
"The meaning of the concubine is that it seems that the concubine and Lord Ling will be angry in the future. What if Lord Ling does this again? Besides, His Majesty has not said to let me go home, it seems that I'm going to live in this palace for a long time. It seems that I need a friend, and I can't be in a dark place as soon as I leave Changqiu Palace, I don't recognize anyone, and I don't know who to ask for help."
Like today, after she got rid of Chunya, she didn't know anyone along the way, and she couldn't trust any of the guards and servants who passed by. The fifth prince can't help anything else, but he grew up in the palace anyway, and is considered a half-land snake, even if it is used as a public land.
The fifth prince seems to understand a little bit, but he was born with a cheap mouth, and his temperament is difficult to change: "Hmph, I am the nobleman of Tianhuang, the honor of the prince, who are you on the card? Dare to call me a brother!"
Shao Shang said: "Your Highness, how often do you see Your Majesty?"
The Fifth Prince:…
Shao Shang smiled and said, "Not counting the time of the palace banquet, you have to be summoned by His Majesty in about two or three months, or with other young princes."
The fifth prince's face was sour green, like a musty pickle.
"The concubine will be able to face the Holy Spirit almost every other day. I dare not say that I will go through fire and water for Your Highness and turn the crisis into peace, but it is not difficult to seek good luck and avoid evil. All these things, don't Your Highness think that this friend of mine is worth making ?"
The fifth prince was very excited, and his face changed for a while, and finally shouted: "Okay! I will answer you! Previously, the dispute between you and me is over, and I will never mention half a word!"
Shao Shang smiled with satisfaction. At this time, there was a faint sound of a bell ringing in the distance, indicating that the feast was about to start. She looked up at the sky, and saw that the pale white moon had quietly hung up on the branch at some point, and immediately pulled the fifth prince up, and proposed to go to Changqiu Palace to bathe, change clothes and drink **** soup.
I have to go back to the mother-in-law first!"
Changqiu Palace is only half a column of incense, and it will take more than half an hour to get back to Xu Meiren. If you walk all the way, and the cold wind blows, your Highness will die."
The fifth prince's warm tone towards the girl was incredible: "Have you forgotten who made me in such a situation?"
"Has Your Highness forgot to say just now that all the quarrels should be eliminated, and never mention another word."
The Fifth Prince:…
"Besides, whether you forget it or not, it's closer to the Changqiu Palace. Your Highness, you must put your body first."
"..." The fifth prince sighed, "Okay, let's go to Changqiu Palace."
With a sigh, he suddenly felt that he was very sad today, as if a thousand years had passed, and the quarrel he loved most in his life had no emotions. He could only sit tiredly on the stone platform, poured out the water in his two short boots, and then supported him to Changqiu Palace with one foot high and one low, and there were also two sneezes from time to time—
"You are so cruel, you let me soak in the water for so long, if I have any good or bad, even if I have Ling Budo's support, the father will not forgive you!"
"Sir Ling said that His Highness was only looking weak, but in fact he was in good health, but Xu Meiren was too worried. Once, several princes rode across the mountain stream, a gust of mountain wind blew, and the princes All fell into the water, and in the end you were the only one who didn't get the wind chill."
"...How does Ling Budo have such a good memory? Well, does he know your face?"
"Which face of mine?"
"Forget it, when I ask in vain. If he doesn't know your true face, then you will suffer, because you have to pretend for a lifetime; if he knows your true face, then he will suffer , because he has to endure it for the rest of his life!"
"Your Highness."
"What's the matter! What did I say wrong!"
"After soaking in the lake, Your Highness has a much clearer mind, maybe you should soak more in the lake in the future."
"...why do I think you are so easy to bully people, you can even scare and deceive people in one go. You used to do it often."
"There is no such thing, I have been strictly guarded since I was a child, and I can't be more honest."
—This time, she finally guessed it right, but unfortunately, her former demeanor was gone when she met Ling Budo.
