The Way of the Consort

Chapter 135 Play

"When did you like me?" Ji Zhao sat on the little donkey, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and gnawed on a sweet potato that Cheng Shen had baked for him when he was resting on the side of the road. delicious.

Zong Zhen held the little donkey by the rope, looked back at him, and saw that he had gnawed all over his face, couldn't help but chuckled.

"What are you laughing at?" Ji Zhao didn't know his current image, and tapped the little donkey's back, "Tell me, when did you start harboring ill intentions towards me!"

Zong Zhen said: "When will it start? I really don't know..."

"Your answer is too perfunctory!" Ji Zhao was dissatisfied with the comment, and then patted the little donkey on the back, "Let's say it again..."

The little donkey barked.

Ji Zhao gave it Shun Mao again: "Okay, okay, I just don't want to shoot you." He dug out another potato from the pouch on the donkey's back and handed it to it, "Do you want to eat it?"

The little donkey ignored him, he hummed, stuffed the potato back again, and raised his head again, the eyes of His Royal Highness almost crooked with laughter.

"Be serious and answer the questions! Stop laughing!"

"Hahaha—" Zong Zhen still wanted to laugh.

"I'm going to be angry!" Ji Zhao was so anxious that he wanted to jump off the little donkey, Zong Zhen hurried forward and hugged him: "Okay, okay, stop laughing. I will answer carefully. I really don't know when I like it." , When I realized that such a feeling is called "like", I suddenly found that I have liked it for a long time. "

Ji Zhao's eyes widened, and he whispered, "That's a nice sentence!"

Zong Zhen smiled: "Then let me ask now, how about you, when, huh?"

Ji Zhao thought about the day when Zong Zhen was drunk and kissed him during the Chinese New Year. In fact, he and Zong Zhen were the same, and only after he understood it did he realize that he had liked him for too long.But he didn't decide to tell Zong Zhen about the Chinese New Year, he always felt a little ashamed, a little embarrassed, and a little sad.

He raised his head and said as a matter of course: "I won't tell you."

"unfair……"

Ji Zhao raised his chin towards him, imitating Zongzhen's tone: "Your Highness, did I ever say that I want to be fair to you, huh?"

Zong Zhen laughed again.

Ji Zhao felt that he was not funny, how could he say a word, Zong Zhen would have to laugh.

Ji Zhao said again: "Then when did you find out about you, huh?"

"Hmm..." Zong Zhen put his hands behind his back, pretending to be thinking hard, Ji Zhao waited expectantly, gnawing on the potato while waiting, but he almost finished eating one of them, and Zong Zhen didn't say anything yet!

Ji Zhao said angrily, "Hey!"

"Ah?" Zong Zhen looked like he had just recovered.

"Speak quickly!"

"What?" Zong Zhen was surprised.

"I asked when you found out that you like it!"

"This..."

"Ok!"

Zong Zhen regretfully said: "This can't be said..."

"Why?" Ji Zhao was stunned, thinking that there was some important reason.

In the end, Zongzhen said: "We want to be fair. If you don't answer the questions, then I won't answer any of them. How about it?"

After talking about it, Zong Zhen couldn't pretend anymore, and a smile appeared on his face again.

Ji Zhao blinked, and then he realized that he jumped up and was about to jump to the ground: "You're kidding me——"

The voice stopped abruptly, Zong Zhen hugged him, bent down to look at him, licked the corner of his lips, then raised his eyes to look at him, and said softly: "It's very sweet..."

But Ji Zhao felt that His Royal Highness who said this was the sweetest in the world!

Living up to expectations, as expected, he quickly sank into the arms of His Highness the Crown Prince.

Everyone who followed from a distance saw it, and laughed cheerfully, or turned around, or turned their heads, or looked at the sky, but they didn't look at it anymore.

On the quiet mountain road, His Royal Highness licked the tip of his nose again, licking off the yam that was stained there, and said: "It's very sweet and delicious."

After finishing speaking, add another sentence: "I don't mean sweet potatoes..."

Ji Zhao stared round his eyes: "What is that?"

In the slight spring breeze, wild apricot flowers fluttered like powder snow. His Highness the Crown Prince leaned into his ear, and his voice was softer than the fluttering petals: "It's you..."

Ji Zhao felt that he was completely drunk, drunk in the spring of the valley, drunk in Zongzhen's arms.

Bamboo bears are actually pandas. In his previous life, there were almost pandas in zoos, but Ji Zhao had never seen them with his own eyes. After all, he couldn’t go out.This kind of animal, which is called a national treasure, no one can escape its "cuteness" from eighty to eight years old. Ji Zhao also likes it. At that time, he liked to watch the live broadcast channel of pandas the most.

He could still recognize every panda, so this time he came to Meizhou, he quickly thought of this excuse.

But when he came here, he didn't think about going to bamboo bear, where would he have any free time?

It's different now!

Not only does he have free time, but there are also people who accompany him to have free time!

At this time, bamboo bears are not cared for like the pandas in the previous life. In the eyes of everyone, they are just ordinary beasts. However, because the number is limited and they rarely come and go, it is unlikely that there are real hunters to kill them.

The villagers knew that they were going to find bamboo bears, and they gave them more than a dozen places where bamboo bears had been haunted in the past, and told them to be careful, if bamboo bears were hungry, they would eat people too.Before going to those places, they split a lot of wild bamboos in the mountains, carried them and went to find the bamboo bears.

More than a dozen locations are distributed unevenly, almost covering the entire mountain. Fortunately, they are not in a hurry. Ji Zhao is riding a little donkey slowly, and His Royal Highness is slowly leading the little donkey. The others are also very relaxed. The forest was full of laughter every day. They spent three days stepping on every spot, waiting for an hour or two at almost every spot, but they didn't see the bamboo bear.

The guards, including Zong Zhen, were a little anxious, and even more worried that Ji Zhao would be sad.

Ji Zhao didn't care and said, "It's okay, whether you see it or not is a matter of fate! You don't have to see it!"

As far as he is concerned, there is nothing in the world that makes him happier than being with Zong Zhen!He is happy to see the panda, and it's no big deal if he doesn't see it!

They set up a tent in the mountains to rest at night, because Zongzhen was by his side, Ji Zhao slept soundly every night, unaware that Zongzhen would get up every night after he fell asleep, and lead people to continue looking for Bamboo Bear.Finally, the hard work paid off, and they found the trail of the bamboo bear. A mature bamboo bear came down from the mountain and went to a farmer's house on the mountainside.There was no one in the farmer's house, so it turned around a few times and then left, as if looking for food.

Zongzhen threw a lot of bamboo on the road ahead of time, and when he came back, he saw these and sat on the ground to eat.

They all lay down in the grass, not daring to move, until the bamboo bear finished eating and slowly returned to the mountain, Chen Keye brought a few of the best people to follow.

Zong Zhen returned to bring Ji Zhao to see.

Ji Zhao hadn't woken up yet, when Zong Zhen carried him out of the bed, he opened his eyes in a daze: "What's wrong..."

"You continue to sleep, it's okay." Zong Zhen said softly.

"Oh..." Ji Zhao closed his eyes after speaking, and fell his head into Zong Zhen's arms, and continued to sleep as expected.Zong Zhen carried him to the carriage and drove forward until he could no longer ride in the carriage. Then he carried Ji Zhao down and walked forward following the marks left by Chen Keye and the others, with Yin Ming and the others following behind.

Gradually, the sun came out, and Ji Zhao woke up again, this time he was completely awake.

He moved and wanted to come down, Zong Zhen put him down, Ji Zhao looked around, his eyes lit up: "Could it be that you found it?"

Zong Zhen smiled: "Yes..."

"Wow!"

Ji Zhao strode forward, walking faster than Zong Zhen, and finally they reconciled with Chen Keye. Seeing the bamboo bear lying on the rock and eating bamboo leisurely, Ji Zhao was so excited that he immediately grabbed Zong Zhen's hand and squeezed it tightly. Zong Zhen was in pain, but he hadn't noticed it yet, and he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of scaring the panda away.

No matter how painful it was, Zong Zhen didn't say anything, just looked at him smiling, even though Ji Zhao only had Bamboo Bear in his eyes.

They hid behind a bigger rock to watch it eat. After eating, it turned over and walked slowly towards the shaded place.

Ji Zhao immediately said: "When the sun comes out, it feels hot, so it has to go to a cool place!"

"You know that too?"

"It's in the book!" In fact, I read it from watching the live broadcast in my previous life, and Ji Zhao watched it wandering into the forest with great interest.

Chen Keye came over to ask for instructions: "Your Highness, son-in-law, let's catch him while he is asleep!"

Just as Zong Zhen nodded, Ji Zhao quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no arrest!"

Zongzhen looked back at him and said, "I will definitely catch it for you. We have observed it for a long time. It is not very vicious. Take it back and ask a special animal trainer to train it for a while. Then you can rest assured and keep it at home. You can see it every day." .”

He could find that Ji Zhao liked this thing called Bamboo Bear very much.

Ji Zhao felt ashamed, these ancient people didn't know how precious national treasures are!

Ji Zhao said: "It's good to have seen it once! They grew up in the mountains and have long adapted to the life in the mountains. If I take them back, I will be happy. They are not happy, they are so pitiful."

Seeing that the two masters were still discussing, Chen Keye withdrew.

Zongzhen said: "It's rare to come here. Bamboo bears only exist in Sichuan. After taking it back, we will treat it well. How can it be pitiful?"

"My original home was the whole mountain. After I go back, there is only one garden left."

"You also have a mountain, I can give you a few more, it can live comfortably as usual, and there are endless bamboos to eat."

Ji Zhao was even more ashamed, and said anxiously: "In short, I really don't need to take it back! Just let it live here happily!"

"You like it very much..."

Ji Zhao smiled: "Likes don't have to be possessed—" After thinking about it, he said, "It's not true, some likes must be possessed, they are necessities. But Bamboo Bear is not!"

Zong Zhen followed his words and asked, "For example, what must you have?"

He wanted to find it for Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao showed his small white teeth at him, and said with a smile, "For example, you..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled and showed his white teeth.

I don't know if the bamboo bear knew that there was a group of them. They stayed in the same place for two days, and when the bamboo was eaten up, Chen Keye and the others would go to chop bamboo and bring it back to it.

It doesn't eat every time, and often looks for food by itself. Zong Zhen also made a long speech about it, meaning that this bamboo bear is not a lazy bear, self-reliant, self-improving, and pursuing, Ji Zhao almost died of laughter.

They were leaving while the bamboo bear fell asleep.

Ji Zhao said it coolly, thinking that he might never see a panda again in this life, he was still a little sad. The transportation is too inconvenient at this time, and it is even more impossible for him to come here when Zongzhen becomes emperor in the future.He finally couldn't help it, and looked back again. Strangely, the bamboo bear woke up from sleep, turned over, and looked in his direction.

Ji Zhao looked at it in amazement, he excitedly held Zong Zhen's hand, and whispered, "Is it looking at me?"

"Yes..." Even if it wasn't, Zong Zhen would still say yes, let alone it really was.

Ji Zhao was even more excited: "It also knows that I am leaving! It really knows that we are here! It is reluctant to part with me!"

As Ji Zhao spoke, he turned his head three times a step, and the bamboo bear kept looking at him, making Ji Zhao's tears well up.

Zong Zhen wiped his tears for him, and said helplessly, "You are unwilling to take it back."

Ji Zhao shook his head: "Don't take it back..." He turned his head abruptly, held back his tears and strode away, Zong Zhen chased after him with a sigh, got in the car, and told him: "I have ordered you Chen Keye and the others found a few families in the mountains and asked them to take care of this bamboo bear, and they would send news to Jinling City regularly to let us know about its current situation."

Ji Zhao pursed his lips, looked back at him, bumped into his arms, and cried "Wow", "Brother, you are so kind to me!"

Zong Zhen hugged him and patted his back, but laughed out loud.

As much as Ji Zhao cried sadly, Zong Zhen laughed as happily as he could, and Ji Zhao yelled "no conscience" again.

The people outside the carriage looked at each other and laughed again.
