Fast Time Traveling: Ten Worlds Backward Chasing

Chapter 35

It was still late when Zhuxue returned to the palace, and was caught by the second prince Gao Mowen who was waiting at the gate of the palace.

Gao Mo asked with a smile on his face as he limped in, "Yo, third brother, what's wrong with you?"

Zhuzhen smiled at Gao Mo with a bitter expression at the right time, "I fell, I fell, haha..."

Gao Mowen looked at him with a half-smile, shaking a fan in his hand, "Why are you so careless, come quickly, Brother Huang will help you." There is no meaning of helping.

Bamboo waved his hand, "No, I'll just go by myself, haha!"

Gao Mowen closed his fan in a swish, pressed his chin and tapped lightly, "It's good that you have nothing to do. Don't forget to go for the palace exam tomorrow."

This time Bamboo really didn't know.

"The palace test? What palace test?"

Gao Mowen glanced at him inexplicably, "Of course it's the Imperial Examination. Don't mention it, the third son of the general's family is really a young talent, and he won the first place again and again. In my opinion, this time the No. [-] scholar must be him."

"The third son of the general's family?" Zhu Chong asked, Li Xuanyi's younger brother?

"Why, you go around that Li Xuanyi every day, don't you know that he has a younger brother who loves you in every possible way? His younger brother is really handsome and handsome." Gao Mowen walked forward with a smile on his own. It seemed that he really just came to remind Zhu Xing not to forget the palace exam tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Zhu Zhang got up, dressed in a jade crown and brocade robe, and looked a little majestic like a prince without smiling.

In the main hall, the princes stood in a row, all solemn and rigorous. The old emperor tried to teach a few talented people who could stand for the palace exam one by one, and finally met a well-behaved one who looked younger than the others. Some people are quite appreciative.

Sure enough, in the end, the old emperor handpicked this person to be the number one scholar in the imperial examination. Zhutong listened to the old eunuch's reading, and the name of this person was Li Xuanqing.For some reason, Zhu Chong subconsciously couldn't like Li Xuanqing, even though he was handsome, talented and eloquent.

It was past noon when the palace examination was over, and the old emperor accidentally left all the princes to have dinner together. During the dinner, he beat and beat each of the princes, and especially criticized Zhu Zong, but Zhu Zong acted like an idiot, and agreed to everything he said with a smile. , Turning around and forgetting, the angry old emperor finally dropped the jade chopsticks.

Zhu Xun ate a meal without knowing the taste, anxious and anxious, with a haha ​​on his face, but his mind had already drifted to Mingguang Temple, what is Li Xuanyi doing now?

Finally able to leave, Zhu Zhang ran to Mingguang Temple non-stop.

Zhu Xi excitedly pushed open the door of Li Xuanyi's room, "Li Xuanyi! Here I come!"

The house was clean, and the futon that usually kneels on was quietly put aside, and Li Xuanyi was not there.Zhuxi retreated suspiciously and closed the door, running around in front of Mingguang Temple, looking for Li Xuanyi everywhere.

In the end, Zhu Xun arrested a floor sweeping monk for interrogation. The floor sweeping monk was too frightened by Zhu Xun, and said falteringly, "Maybe it's in the back mountain."

Zhu Xuan threw down the sweeping monk and happily ran back to the mountain.

The back mountain is a quiet and dense forest, with winding trails and dense trees blocking the view. The bamboo raft stopped and walked, and when he heard voices coming from ahead, he quickened his pace. It was Li Xuanyi, who was he talking to?

Bamboo got closer, seeing Li Xuanyi and a young man in white robe sitting at the stone table drinking tea, he happily raised his hand, "Li Xuan... Yi..." Just about to shout, when he saw Li Xuanyi sitting in front of him Everything, he couldn't help closing his voice and hiding.

He had seen that white-robed boy in the morning, and it was Li Xuanqing, the number one scholar.He suddenly stood up and hugged Li Xuanyi's shoulder from behind, looking at Li Xuanyi with affection in his eyes.

"Second brother, I'm already the champion, not a kid anymore."

"Second brother, why can't I?"

"Second brother..."

Zhu Xi tightly covered her mouth with her hands, afraid of making a sound, her eyes were full of shock, Li Xuanqing kept saying inexplicable words, and the way he looked at Li Xuanyi, it was a younger brother looking at his elder brother!This is Yinshuang? !

Li Xuanyi was embraced by Li Xuanqing from behind, a rare trace of pain and helplessness appeared on his usually indifferent and calm face, and he disappeared completely in a moment.

"Xuanqing, don't mess around." It seemed to be a reprimand, but the tone revealed pampering.

Zhu Xi didn't know how long he hid beside him, until Li Xuanqing left for a long time, he didn't move.

"Have you seen enough?" A clear voice sounded from above his head.

Zhu Xun looked blankly, Li Xuanyi was standing behind him in a monk's robe, blocking the sunlight above his head.

Zhuzhen immediately started giggling, "The sun is so good, I accidentally fell asleep."

Li Xuanyi shut up, noncommittal.

In the winding path, the bamboo stick followed Li Xuanyi, swinging slowly with weeds in its mouth.

The sun shone through the leaves sporadically, casting mottled tree shadows behind Li Xuanyi, Zhu Tong squinted his eyes, and murmured unconsciously: "You want to become a monk because of Li Xuanqing."

Li Xuanyi didn't hear clearly, and looked back at him, "What did you say?"

Zhuqian came back to his senses, "Haha, your brother is really handsome, but not as handsome as you!"

Li Xuanyi replied to him, "Didn't you fall asleep?"

Zhuzhen smiled awkwardly, "Ha, I didn't sleep well, I didn't sleep well..."

Li Xuanyi glanced at him helplessly, with a smile in his eyes, then reached out his hand to remove a piece of grass from the bamboo stick's head, and finally patted his head.

Zhu Xun narrowed her eyes comfortably, and rubbed her head against Li Xuanyi's palm, which woke Li Xuanyi up.

Li Xuanyi withdrew his hand in an instant, the smile on his face disappeared, he gave him an indifferent look, turned and left.

Zhu Xuan stuck out his tongue behind him, and Fu hurriedly followed.

"Hey, Li Xuanyi! Slow down! Wait for me!"

Li Xuanqing was named Shanglin by the emperor. The youngest Shanglin, all the princes wanted to win over each other. The old emperor was old and hadn't established a crown prince yet. Everyone wanted to get involved in the position of crown prince, except for the third prince Gao. I don't know.

Gao Mozhi was just like his name, he didn't know anything, he didn't care about anything, he ran to Mingguang Temple all day long, he didn't care about the open and secret fights in the court, he only had Li Xuanyi in his heart.

Li Xuanyi was so annoyed by him that he avoided him every day, but Gao Mozhi was like installing a radar on him, he could be found wherever he hid.

Later, Li Xuanyi didn't hide at all. As soon as Gao Mozhi came, he beat him out. At first, Gao Mozhi couldn't beat him, so he was always kicked out. Later, Gao Mozhi was a natural genius, or he was just pretending to be stupid. In a daze, he was able to block a few moves gradually, and in the end, Li Xuanyi easily but couldn't drive him out.

Gao Mozhi became more and more presumptuous.

"Li Xuanyi! I'm coming!"

The corner of Li Xuanyi's mouth twitched as he knocked on the wooden fish to recite scriptures in the room, and the strength of the wooden fish in his hand became heavier.

"Li Xuanyi! Look what I brought you!" Zhu Chong excitedly opened the door and walked in, sat opposite Li Xuanyi, carefully holding a small package in his hand.

Li Xuanyi closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name, and ignored him.

Bamboo leaned close to Li Xuanyi's ear, and blew viciously, "Li Xuanyi, open your eyes and have a look!"

Li Xuanyi still didn't move, but the roots of his ears trembled undetectably. The bamboo stick smiled and said, "Li Xuanyi, if you don't open your eyes, I'm going to kiss you!"

Li Xuanyi sat like a clock, but didn't move.

Zhu Xi slowly approached Li Xuanyi, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on her lips, "I see, you want me to kiss you, so you don't open your eyes?" She said and posted it.

The four thin lips touched together lightly, half warm and half cold.

Zhu Xi's cheeks were flushed, her lips trembled, and she rubbed against Li Xuanyi's lips, Li Xuanyi's lips were tightly closed, and she didn't respond at all.

The hot water in Zhuzhen's heart gradually calmed down, he left Li Xuanyi's lips, and opened his eyes to look at him.

Li Xuanyi is still the same Li Xuanyi, sitting there calmly, with a Buddha seal in his hand, there is no wave between his brows, seeing the bamboo stick retreating, Li Xuanyi finally opened his eyes, there is no wave in the ancient well, and the bamboo stick is in those calm eyes Seeing his current appearance, his cheeks were flushed, the corners of his eyes were moist, and then he looked at Li Xuanyi's indifferent face. For some reason, he suddenly felt embarrassed, and smiled awkwardly at Li Xuanyi, "It's getting late, I should go back!" As he said that, he got up and stumbled to run out.

After Zhu Xi left, Li Xuanyi looked at the sky outside, it was just past time, and usually he would stay until sunset and would not leave.

Li Xuanyi looked aside again, the small package forgotten by the bamboo hole was a little scattered, lying alone on the side.

Li Xuanyi moved his slender fingers and opened the small package. Inside were two exquisitely carved wooden figures.One is wearing a monk's robe with a serious face, and the other is wearing a brocade robe and smiling.

Li Xuanyi picked up the smiling wooden figurine to observe, rubbing his fingers lightly on the little wooden figurine's chubby face, probably because of his thoughts.

Li Xuanyi thought that Zhu Chong would not come again for a while, but he didn't expect that Zhu Chong still ran over with a smile on his face the next day.

"Li Xuanyi, I'm coming!" Bamboo sat next to Li Xuanyi as usual, stretched out his hand and waved in front of Li Xuanyi, "Li Xuanyi?"

Li Xuanyi opened his eyes, looked at his fingers shaking in front of him, suddenly frowned, and grabbed Zhu's hand.

Zhu Xun was taken aback, and when she realized it, she immediately reached into Li Xuanyi's hand and rubbed it back and forth, "Hey! Li Xuanyi! You want to take advantage of me!"

Li Xuanyi let him toss around, took him to the table and sat down, took out a small ceramic jar, opened the lid and a light fragrance came, and inside was a green translucent paste.

Li Xuanyi stretched out his hand to pick out a piece, and gently dabbed it on Zhu's hand.

Zhuxue became quiet in an instant, and watched intently as he applied the medicine for himself. It turned out that Zhuxue's hand was injured because of carving a small wooden figure, and because the technique was not good enough, there were more scars, which were densely distributed on the white and tender skin. finger.

"Li Xuanyi! Where's my little wooden man!" Zhu Chong suddenly thought of something and asked.

Li Xuanyi raised his chin, and Zhu Chong looked over. Two lifelike little wooden figures were placed side by side on the cabinet, so intimate, Zhu Chong smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Li Xuanyi, I'll sing you a song later, how about it?"

Li Xuanyi remained silent.

"Are you okay?" Bamboo asked persistently.

After a while, Li Xuanyi said a word calmly.

"it is good."
