Xu Tianze felt a pain in his waist and his expression was a little unnatural. The main reason was that he really didn't want to stop last night. As the saying goes, once you taste the marrow, you will never get tired of it.
No matter how many times he looked at the wise king's body or ate it, he still felt it was not enough.
Today, when the officials standing at the city gate glanced at him from time to time, he could still remain calm, but if the wise king, the person involved, was unhappy, he would have to react.
"Ajiang, you can stand however you want. You and I have a mutual understanding. Do you think you need to look at other people's eyes before having sex? Who among those standing around here is a monk who doesn't cheat?" Xu Tianze put his arm around the virtuous king's waist and glanced around.
No matter whether they were officials or common people, anyone who caught Xu Tianze's eye would avoid him. After all, Xu Tianze had made it very clear.
Since we are all adults, it is natural for matters between men and women to come naturally. Even matters between men, some officials enjoy them very much in private.
It’s just that they won’t expose such things in public, as they always have to consider their own and their family’s reputation.
Now that Xu Tianze was in front of everyone, no one dared to respond. If they did, it would mean that they were vegetarian monks. But even monks commit adultery, let alone those of them who were living in the world.
Seeing that no one around him objected, Xu Tianze raised the corner of his mouth in triumph. However, when his eyes met Song Yu's dark face, his whole body darkened.
"If the Duke of Zhenguo has time to care about other people's private affairs, he should consider whether he is clean. What I said that day was not a joke."
Song Yu had originally felt a little bitter when he saw Xu Tianze defending the virtuous king. Now that he saw Xu Tianze still warning him, his heart became even more complicated.
But thinking that he had indeed offended Xu Tianze today, and Xu Tianze was still angry, he should stay away from him.
So Song Yu had to keep silent to show his concession.
Long Musi watched Xu Tianze defending the virtuous king from the side, and his heart was still confused. He wanted to choose power, but in the end he couldn't let go of Xu Tianze in his heart.
But even if he chose Xu Tianze, Xu Tianze might not see him. Even if his second brother died, there was still a precious example before him. How could someone like him who would not give up for Xu Tianze in the end catch Xu Tianze's eye?
"Okay, okay, the Sixth Prince will be back soon. It's a happy occasion. Let's both take a step back. Harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth." The prince stepped forward to act as a peacemaker when he saw that the matter was settled.
For the prince, Xu Tianze and the virtuous king were about to leave the court, and it would be better to give them face since they were no longer a threat. Not to mention the many benefits he had gained from following Xu Tianze in the imperial examinations in the past few days.
As for Song Yu, he still wanted to win him over if possible. After all, Song Yu and his third brother were rivals in love, so he would definitely not stand on the side of the third brother.
But now that the Sixth Prince is coming back, the Crown Prince is a little unsure, so it would be best if he could win over Song Yu.
"What the prince said is of course true. I think the sixth prince will be here soon." The wise king watched the whole scene with a smile. Seeing that the prince gave him a way out, he naturally took Xu Tianze with him.
Everyone was ready to leave, so there was no reason to offend Song Yu completely. If Song Yu hadn't had red eyes, he might have ignored him altogether.
"It's almost noon now, and Sixth Prince should have arrived at Shili Pavilion." The prince nodded.
Originally, he was planning to go to Shili Pavilion to welcome him, and then his father would lead all the officials to welcome him at the city gate. After all, the sixth prince had returned with a great victory and was a meritorious official for the country.
But as the day approached, his father suddenly fell ill, so he was asked to come and welcome him.
At Shili Pavilion, the eldest princess led people to greet them. After all, considering the eldest princess's deeds, although this approach was a bit inappropriate, it was also understandable.
As soon as the prince finished speaking, they heard a sound coming from afar. Everyone knew that someone was about to arrive, so they hurriedly adjusted their clothes to make themselves look less rude.
Even the virtuous king got off Xu Tianze, stood up straight, and began to tidy up his clothes to cover up the bruises on his body.
For the soldiers, this is the courtesy they deserve.
"I didn't expect that it would be my royal brothers who would greet me again. It's been a long time since we last met." The Sixth Prince dismounted from his horse and burst into laughter when he saw the Crown Prince, the Wise King and Long Musi.
"What? Now that you are a general, are we brothers not qualified to welcome you at the city gate?" The prince also started to tease, as if years of separation had not created any barriers between them.
"How could that be? Mu Li greets the eldest, second, and third royal brothers." The Sixth Prince blocked him with a smile, then saluted the three princes with a serious expression.
Xu Tianze saw that the Sixth Prince looked a little vague. It had been a long time since he had seen the Sixth Prince. When the Sixth Prince was preparing to go to the border for training, he was only about ten years old.
At that time, there was a lot of turmoil in the court because of the Sixth Prince's decision. The most crucial thing was that Emperor Gan actually agreed to the Sixth Prince's training.
Xu Tianze still remembered that the Sixth Prince's training at the border was a foregone conclusion. Xu Li once told the three brothers that if the Sixth Prince survived at the border, he would definitely achieve something.
His return today seemed to confirm Xu Li's words. The peace in Shangjing City in recent days has come to an end, but this seems to have nothing to do with him anymore.
"Brother Tianze? Why are you staring at me like that? But is there something wrong with me?" Seeing Xu Tianze in a daze, the Sixth Prince first reminded him, then turned around on his own.
Although he entered the capital today wearing armor, the armor was the most common chain mail, not commonly used on the battlefield, so it should not attract attention.
But Xu Tianze kept staring at him, making him feel like there was something wrong with him.
"Your humble servant greets His Highness the Sixth Prince. I was just a little dazed. Your Highness looks very handsome in this outfit. There is nothing wrong with it." Xu Tianze first bowed, and then began to apologize for his offense.
"Of course, this prince has carefully selected and finally decided to wear this one." The Sixth Prince smiled and showed his chain mail to Xu Tianze again.
Although the Sixth Prince and Xu Tianze thought that the conversation just now was a normal greeting, for those in Shangjing City who knew Xu Tianze's preferences, Xu Tianze's words just now always had a slightly strange taste.
