"Huanhuan——"
"Huanhuan——"
The calls came one after another, one after another.
Xie Ren woke up with a start and sat up from the bed like a carp.
Just listen to the call that is still coming to your ears, the sound comes from outside the house.
Last night, Xie Ren fell down to sleep without taking off his clothes or the mask on his face. Xie Ren stood up and went to the door. He saw several maids outside the door rummaging for something in the courtyard, shouting exactly the same thing: The two words "Huanhuan" and "Huanhuan".
When the maids saw Xie Ren, they quickly asked: "Guard Song, have you seen a black cat? It was the black cat that the princess brought back from Shen Tanhua yesterday."
"Her Royal Highness the Princess said that the cat was found in Shen Tanhua's home. It can be regarded as a gift from Shen Tanhua. You must not lose it."
"That cat scratched the princess, and she still wanted to keep it. She also gave it a nice name like 'Huanhuan'. It seems that His Highness really loves Tanhua."
"It goes without saying that Shen Tanhua also treasures the things our princess gave to Shen Tanhua."
Several maids suddenly started chatting, completely unaware that the captain of the guard next to him exuded a terrifying aura.
Jiang Ningyao! !
She actually named a cat ‘Huanhuan’!
She did it on purpose, she must have done it on purpose!
Xie Ren's blood surged to his head and his anger boiled over. He rushed towards Jiang Ningyao's dormitory. After only taking a few steps, he was surrounded by all kinds of shouts of 'Huanhuan' and 'Huanhuan'. Xie Ren's whole scalp was numb.
He hates this name the most!
Xie Ren was exhausted, turned around, and walked towards the garden, looking up tree by tree, and finally found the black cat on a camphor tree.
"Come down!"
Xie Ren shouted to the cat. When the cat heard the sound, as if it saw its owner, it meowed and jumped down from the tree obediently.
Xie Ren squatted down, and the black cat immediately walked towards him, walked around him, then rubbed his legs, purring from its mouth.
It was so obedient that he forgot that it also had claws.
Xie Ren held it in his arms and said, "Jiang Ningyao, you changed your name. You will be called 'Huanhuan' from now on. Do you remember it?"
The cat stared at him and replied: 'Meow! ’.
It was urgent, possibly cursing.
See, cats don't like that name either.
……
Xie Ren found the cat, clipped its nails, and put it in a cage.
Then he took the cat to find Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao dressed up neatly and was about to go out. When she saw Xie Ren coming over with a cat, she raised her eyelids and said, "Did Guard Song catch Huanhuan?"
Xie Ren's energy and blood surged up again. He didn't want to respond, but thinking of her injured hand...
"Caught, Your Highness Princess." He lowered his head and responded.
After saying that, he added in a low voice: "Huanhuan, he is actually very good."
He didn't know why he suddenly said such a sentence, but he just looked at the faint smile on Jiang Ningyao's face and popped up on his lips.
He originally thought that saying such words would be disgusting and embarrassing.
However, it seems...it's okay, and I even have some expectations.
Hoping that she would understand, Xie Ren secretly glanced at Jiang Ningyao.
Jiang Ningyao was stunned, not expecting to hear such soft words from Xie Ren's mouth.
Is he good?
When did he behave?
All she saw was that he was rebellious.
He didn't like studying and was a troublemaker. His family asked him to start a career. He went to the gambling house and won a street. He made money, but the bad habits of those three religions and nine schools also came back. When he came back, he broke a few rulers of the Xie family. .
Everyone has their own ambitions. She has no objection to him doing what he likes. She just hopes that he...
Jiang Ningyao looked at the unfamiliar face in front of her, "I hope he is braver."
Jiang Ningyao's voice sounded slowly, her voice was very small, more like she was speaking to herself.
But Xie Ren still heard it.
Xie Ren was stunned for a moment, then looked up again and saw that Jiang Ningyao had already walked out.
Before Xie Ren had time to think about the meaning of her words, Jiang Ningyao's order came again:
"Song Guard, you will train Huanhuan at home today. When I come back in the evening, this princess will see that she can do a backflip."
Xie Ren was stunned on the spot.
Jiang Ningyao turned around, pointed at him and said, "If it can't learn, then you can turn it over."
River! rather! Yao!
Look, look, Jiang Ningyao is so domineering!
Whose cat can do backflips?
He can't teach her, she has to teach her herself!
Xie Ren was complaining about the cat in his heart, when several maids walked past him.
"Did you see it just now? Shen Tanhua came to the princess's house to pick up the princess, and Shen Tanhua gave the princess a butterfly on her sleeve."
"It's so magical. With a flick of Shen Tanhua's hand, those butterflies seemed to appear out of thin air. They flew out and flew around the princess. They were so beautiful..."
Several maids seemed to be still intoxicated in the fantasy just now, their faces were full of surprise and longing.
Xie Ren on the side pursed his lips and said nothing, his face calm, but that was just a facade.
Under the mask, Xie Ren's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his heart felt as if a condiment bottle had been knocked over, with mixed emotions.
……
Outside the gate of the Princess Mansion, the butterflies have dispersed, but the beauty is still there.
Shen Xunzhou was holding a butterfly hairpin, and his elegant and clean face was stained with a slight blush. It was obvious that he was not very confident about the scene just now.
"Isn't that a bit exaggerated?" he asked.
However, the butterflies flying around her when they first met her in winter had already flown into his dreams, leaving him unforgettable.
Jiang Ningyao could sense his caution.
But her mind uncontrollably recalled the scene where Xie Ren sat on the ground and carefully kissed her fingertips last night.
But their caution is different.
Shen Xunzhou was in awe of his subordinates, while Xie Ren felt guilty towards her.
Shen Xunzhou held the hairpin and felt a little disappointed when he didn't wait for Jiang Ningyao's response for a long time.
"My lord, I'm offended."
Jiang Ningyao came back to her senses, looked at Shen Xunzhou's humble expression, and hurriedly took the butterfly hairpin from Shen Xunzhou's hand.
"I like it very much. Let's go, we're going to be late for the literary outing."
Jiang Ningyao invited him to share a ride with Jian Cong to Qiqing Mountain.
There is a hot spring vein under Qiqing Mountain. Spring there is always earlier than elsewhere. Although it is still February, the peach grove at the foot of Qiqing Mountain is already covered with pink clouds.
Every spring, Jiang Ningyao would hold a cultural outing there, inviting children of noble families from various aristocratic families in the capital and famous talents and beauties in the capital.
"Everyone admires Tanhua Lang's talent and learning, but they just don't have the skills to talk to Tanhua Lang. Today they got their wish." Jiang Ningyao said with a smile.
Today's literary conference is held for Shen Xunzhou, and Shen Xunzhou knows it very well.
The princess treats people well.
The carriage stopped and the two got out of the car. A group of young men and women had already gathered in the peach blossom forest.
Dressed in brocade and splendid clothes, with jade crowns and gold hairpins, each one has an extraordinary status.
The two quickly blended in, enjoying the flowers and spring, toasting and chatting, and the peach forest was filled with laughter for a while.
The atmosphere was lively when suddenly the sound of horse hooves came.
Jiang Ningyao looked up and saw a black horse running not far away. On the horse's back was a young man with his back straight and a bundle hanging on his chest.
He held the reins with one hand and held the bundle with the other. A beautiful black cat poked out of the bundle.
With this eccentric look, who else could it be besides her captain of the guard?
Jiang Ningyao looked away and quietly put the butterfly hairpin given by Shen Xunzhou into her temples.
