Chapter 142: Untitled
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing could tell at a glance that the relationship between Feng Xuanzhou and Yu Tianze had become much closer.
The two of them could also see that they were just friends and nothing more.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing can only be happy for Feng Xuanzhou and Yu Tianze's good relationship.
Because Feng Xuanzhou became the prince's study companion since he was a child, he lived in the palace most of the time, so he did not have a close relationship with other children from aristocratic families.
That is to say, Feng Xuanzhou himself has a cheerful personality and high emotional intelligence. Although he is not close to the children of other aristocratic families, he will not be excluded.
But there are actually not many true friends, so Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao can only be happy for Feng Xuanzhou to have another close friend.
"We originally wanted to find Xuan Zhou to have dinner together. Since Senior Yu is here, why don't we go together?"
Nangong Jing extended an invitation to Yu Tianze.
"Not this time. The dean just sent a message to me, asking me to come over. Maybe next time. I'll treat you guys to dinner next time."
It’s not that Yu Tianze didn’t want to go, but it was just a coincidence.
If Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing had not appeared, Yu Tianze would have already separated from Feng Xuanzhou.
Nangong Jing also saw that Yu Tianze really had something to do, so he didn't force him and made an appointment to get together next time. Then the three of them watched Yu Tianze leave.
After Yu Tianze left, Feng Xuanzhou squeezed directly between Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing, holding one person with one arm, and smiled as he pulled the two of them out.
If the three of them weren't of different heights, Feng Xuanzhou might have just put his arm around their shoulders.
Both Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing were already used to Feng Xuanzhou's occasional nonsense, so when Feng Xuanzhou suddenly squeezed in between them, the two of them didn't even change their expressions.
"Tell me quickly, where did you go this time? You said before that the three of us were going out to gain experience together, but in the end, you two were so heartless that you left me alone."
The three of them randomly found a restaurant and ordered some food and drinks.
After the waiter left, Feng Xuanzhou first asked them where they had been with great interest, and then looked at them with pretended sadness.
The look in his eyes was so resentful that if someone didn't know, they would definitely think that Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing had deceived Feng Xuanzhou's feelings.
Xuanyuan Xingyao and Nangong Jing ignored Feng Xuanzhou's subsequent words and told Feng Xuanzhou where they had been for this training.
"Some of the seniors from the last Continental College Tournament invited me to go out and practice with them. I was a little hesitant about whether to go, since I wasn't particularly familiar with them, but now I think it's a good idea to get out and about."
After listening to Nangong Jing's story, Feng Xuanzhou said with some envy.
"It's good to go out for a walk. It can broaden your horizons."
Xuanyuan Xingyao suggested seriously.
When Feng Xuanzhou heard Xuanyuan Xingyao say this, he pondered for a moment, then nodded thoughtfully.
The three of them hadn't seen each other for over a year, and there were so many things they wanted to say. Even Xuanyuan Xingyao talked a lot more than usual.
Feng Xuanzhou never stopped talking from beginning to end, either drinking or talking.
The three of them ate and drank until the inn was about to close, then they reluctantly got up and prepared to go home.
"It's already this late, why don't you all stay in the palace for one night and go back tomorrow."
After leaving the restaurant, Xuanyuan Xingyao saw that Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou both had red faces, obviously a little drunk, so he made a suggestion.
"Okay, I won't be polite with you. I didn't feel anything at the restaurant just now, but now that I'm out here and the wind is blowing, I really feel a headache."
Feng Xuanzhou rubbed his head and said with some pain on his face.
Nangong Jing's alcohol tolerance was actually the worst among the three. At this moment, he was completely speechless and could only look at Xuanyuan Xingyao blankly.
If this happened somewhere else, Xuanyuan Xingyao would definitely hold Nangong Jing in his arms and "love" him well.
But after returning to the imperial capital, Xuanyuan Xingyao had to be more restrained, as their relationship was not yet at the point of being exposed.
Although I can't hug him, I can still support him.
Xuanyuan Xingyao supported one of them with each hand and brought the two drunkards back to the palace.
After returning to the palace, Xuanyuan Xingyao first asked the butler to send people to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke's Mansion respectively to tell them that Feng Xuanzhou and Nangong Jing would be staying directly in the palace today.
Afterwards, he had two courtyards cleaned up for Feng Xuanzhou and Nangong Jing to live in.
As for Feng Xuanzhou, Xuanyuan Xingyao asked his servants to send him over.
Nangong Jing and Xuanyuan Xingyao personally delivered it.
If there were no servants watching, Xuanyuan Xingyao might have taken the initiative and helped Nangong Jing wash up himself.
Fortunately, although Nangong Jing drank too much, he was still conscious. Although he was a little slow, he still washed his face and feet. As for taking a shower, he would do it tomorrow.
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw that Nangong Jing went straight to bed to rest without even taking off his coat, smiled dotingly, then helped him take off his coat, covered him with a quilt, and then turned and left.
After leaving Nangong Jing's yard, Xuanyuan Xingyao originally wanted to go back to the front yard, but he didn't know what he thought of, and he turned around and went to the yard where Feng Xuanzhou lived.
After confirming that Feng Xuanzhou had been settled, Xuanyuan Xingyao turned around and went back to the front yard to rest.
The next day, when Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou got up, Xuanyuan Xingyao had already gone to court.
As a prince, Xuanyuan Xingyao should have attended court long ago, but after he returned from the battlefield, he either went to participate in a competition or to gain experience, so it has been delayed until now.
Nangong Jing and Feng Xuanzhou knew that Xuanyuan Xingyao was not at home, so they did not stay in the palace for long. They simply washed up and had breakfast before returning home.
After Nangong Jing returned to the Duke's Mansion, he first went back to his own yard to take a bath and change his clothes, and then went to pay his respects to Zhong Yumei.
Even after all these years, because Qiao Huan'er became a co-wife, Zhong Yumei and Nangong Jing could no longer maintain that hypocritical harmony.
But Nangong Tao and Nangong Jing would give Zhong Yumei the face she deserved, or in other words, Nangong Jing would always abide by the rules that should be followed and would never give anyone any room for criticism.
Even if Zhong Yumei wouldn't see Nangong Jing nine times out of ten when he went to pay his respects, Nangong Jing would still go.
Nangong Jing came to the courtyard where Zhong Yumei lived and wanted to pay his respects to her, but was not surprised to be told that Zhong Yumei was not feeling well and asked Nangong Jing to go back.
In fact, both parties knew very well that any discomfort was just an excuse. Zhong Yumei just didn't want to see Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing seemed not to notice the wariness and displeasure in the eyes of the servant who replied. He bowed respectfully in the yard and then quietly retreated.
When Nangong Jing left the yard, he happened to meet Nangong Mu who came to pay his respects.
Compared to ten years ago, Nangong Mu is now a real adult man.
Among the children, Nangong Mu can be said to be the one who looks most like Nangong Tao.
Whether in terms of body shape or appearance.
But compared to Nangong Tao's mighty and domineering appearance, Nangong Mu is more like a gentle and noble young man with a mild temperament.
But if you think that Nangong Mu's behavior is the same as his appearance, you are wrong.
Although Nangong Mu is a magician, he has some talent in leading troops in battle. He has been taught by Nangong Tao since he was in his teens.
After Nangong Mu became an adult, Nangong Tao sent him to the military camp for training. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Nangong Tao intended to train Nangong Mu as his heir.
Perhaps this is also the reason why Zhong Yumei disliked Nangong Jing but did not take action against him and just ignored him.
For Zhong Yumei, her bottom line is Nangong Mu and the position of the heir to the Duke's Mansion. As long as these two are not passive, Zhong Yumei can tolerate everything else.
"Xiao Jing, I don't even know when you'll be back. Why didn't you let anyone notify me?"
Nangong Mu has been in the military camp recently, so he didn't know that Nangong Jing had returned. When he saw Nangong Jing, Nangong Mu showed a look of surprise.
"I just got back the day before yesterday. I knew you were busy, so I didn't specifically inform you."
Among so many people in the Duke's Mansion, who does Nangong Jing have the best relationship with? It would be Nangong Mu.
The relationship between Nangong Mu and Nangong Jing is even beyond the reach of Nangong Tao.
"Wait for me a moment. I'll go greet my mother, and then we can go to my yard and have a good chat."
As Nangong Mu said this, he was about to go past Nangong Jing to pay his respects to Zhong Yumei, but before he could go out, he was stopped by Nangong Jing.
"Brother, there's no need to rush. I still need to go to the palace to see my master. We can have a good chat when you have a day off."
When Nangong Jing saw that Nangong Mu was wearing armor, he knew that he must have something to do, so he politely declined Nangong Mu's proposal.
Moreover, Nangong Jing was not lying. He had not seen Han Yan since he came back, and he did intend to go to the palace to meet Han Yan.
Seeing that Nangong Jing didn't seem to be lying, Nangong Mu could only say with regret.
"Okay, then when I'm on my day off in a few days, I'll treat you to a drink. It's been a while since we two brothers sat down and had a good chat."
Nangong Mu reached out and patted Nangong Jing on the shoulder, grinning and saying.
"good."
Nangong Jing responded with a smile in his eyes.
Nangong Mu watched Nangong Jing leave before turning around to pay his respects to Zhong Yumei.
Most people had to be summoned to enter the palace, but because of Han Yan's relationship, Nangong Mu had received special permission from Xuanyuan Hongtai and was able to enter the palace at any time.
Therefore, when Nangong Jing appeared at the palace gate, the guards in charge of guarding the gate let him in without even checking him.
However, when Nangong Jing skillfully arrived at the palace where Han Yan lived, he found that the palace door was closed. Even the people who usually served Han Yan were nowhere to be seen. This was obviously abnormal.
Nangong Jing found a worshipper who lived next to Han Yan, and after asking him, he learned that Han Yan had been in seclusion for more than a year, and this time it was a death seclusion.
Unless he successfully carved out a ninth-level summoning array and became a summoned god, he would never come out of seclusion.
Knowing that Han Yan was in seclusion trying to reach the god-level, Nangong Jing felt a little worried, because reaching the god-level is not that easy.
Moreover, compared to warriors and magicians, if you fail, the most you will suffer is serious injuries, and you still have a chance to start over.
If a summoner is not careful, his mental strength will be damaged and his cultivation level will regress. This is still considered good.
If the summoned monster cannot be suppressed, it is possible that it will die directly.
However, Nangong Jing also believed that if Han Yan had not been fully prepared, he would never have rashly shut himself up.
Even if Nangong Jing was worried, there was nothing he could do to help. The only thing he could do was pray, hoping that Han Yan could successfully break through.
