Chapter 37 Invitation
Chapter 37 Invitation
Just like when he first entered the palace, Nangong Jing followed Nangong Tao into the palace after his rest. However, this time, Nangong Tao did not send Nangong Jing to Zhaoyang Palace, because when Nangong Jing entered the palace, it was almost time for their usual classes.
So after the father and son entered the palace, Nangong Tao went to court, while Nangong Jing went directly to Changle Palace to attend classes. As for whether Nangong Jing would get lost.
Not to mention that the palace maids and eunuchs who served Nangong Jing were waiting at the palace gate early in the morning, Nangong Jing had stayed in the palace for a while after all. The places he went to most often on weekdays were Changle Palace and Zhaoyang Palace, so Nangong Jing was very familiar with the routes to these two palaces.
When Nangong Jing arrived at Changle Palace, Xuanyuan Xingyao and Feng Xuanzhou were already there. Nangong Jing naturally greeted them and then sat down in his seat.
"You're a little late. If you were any later, you would be late." Xuanyuan Xingyao said lightly after Nangong Jing sat down.
Nangong Jing touched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "I was late because I dawdled when I got up this morning."
This time it was really Nangong Jing's own fault. He slept late last night and almost didn't get up in the morning.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing's face, which was flushed with shame, and a smile flashed across his eyes. For some reason, Xuanyuan Xingyao felt that he was always very relaxed when facing Nangong Jing. This feeling had never occurred when he faced Xuanyuan Leng.
"Nangong, did Lord Han say when the apprenticeship ceremony will be held? I can't wait to see what the scene will be like when the saint is summoned to accept disciples." Feng Xuanzhou secretly said to Nangong Jing while the tutor who was supposed to teach them today had not arrived yet.
Nangong Jing looked into Feng Xuanzhou's curious eyes and said with a smile, "It's just like that when you become a disciple. It's just a little more lively and crowded because of the master's status." After a pause, he continued, "The master said that three days from now is a good day. The invitations have already been sent out. I think guests will start arriving tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
When Feng Xuanzhou heard that Nangong Jing's apprenticeship ceremony would be held in three days, his moist eyes brightened a little. Fortunately, he still had some sense. He looked around and saw that the tutor had not arrived yet, so he lowered his voice and said, "It will be held in three days. That's great. By the way, can I go?"
It wasn't until this time that Feng Xuanzhou realized that the Sage was recruiting disciples. He was just an apprentice magician and he didn't know if he could participate. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but wilted.
Although Feng Xuanzhou was two years older than Nangong Jing, Nangong Jing sometimes doted on him like a younger brother because of his cute appearance, lively personality, and innocence. Seeing Feng Xuanzhou's look of disappointment, Nangong Jing found it funny and a little distressing at the same time, so he said, "You're my friend, why can't you go?"
Feng Xuanzhou was so excited when he heard Nangong Jing invite him to attend the apprenticeship ceremony that he would have jumped up and down if he hadn't known that the time and place were wrong.
Xuanyuan Xingyao was a little unhappy when he saw that Nangong Jing only invited Feng Xuanzhou but not himself, but it seemed that he would lose face if he took the initiative to speak. It happened that the tutor who was supposed to teach today had also arrived, so Xuanyuan Xingyao could only suppress his thoughts and go to class first, but he was still a little angry in his heart.
When Xuanyuan Xingyao turned around and sat down for class, he didn't know that Nangong Jing gave him a strange look after he turned around.
Nangong Jing didn't know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that Xuanyuan Xingyao's mood had suddenly turned bad. But why?
Although Xuanyuan Xingyao was a prince, he had always been very kind to Nangong Jing, and Nangong Jing also treated him as a friend. Naturally, it was impossible for Nangong Jing to invite only Feng Xuanzhou and not him. In fact, Nangong Jing had planned to invite Feng Xuanzhou and Xuanyuan Xingyao together tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but didn't he just rush the conversation and invite Feng Xuanzhou in advance?
It’s not that Nangong Jing didn’t want to invite Xuanyuan Xingyao in advance, it just so happened that the tutor was here, so sometimes misunderstandings arise like this.
Fortunately, the misunderstanding was resolved quickly after it arose. After class, Nangong Jing approached Xuanyuan Xingyao and asked, "Seventh Prince, would you be able to attend my apprenticeship ceremony in three days?"
After Nangong Jing became Xuanyuan Xingyao's study partner, the two got along very well. Therefore, when Nangong Jing invited Xuanyuan Xingyao, he was not very formal or even serious. Instead, he deliberately used a joking tone.
Xuanyuan Xingyao looked at Nangong Jing's slightly funny expression, and the little anger he had in him disappeared.
"Seventh Young Master has personally invited me. If I don't go, I would be ungrateful." Since Nangong Jing invited him in a joking tone, he might as well answer in a joking tone.
Nangong Jing was able to hold it together at first, but when he saw Xuanyuan Xingyao answering him expressionlessly and in a joking tone, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
It would have been fine if Nangong Jing hadn't laughed, but this time Xuanyuan Xingyao got annoyed. He knew Nangong Jing was ticklish so he deliberately tickled him and asked, "Is what I just said so funny?"
"No, no, I just wanted to laugh. Your Highness, please forgive me." Nangong Jing begged for mercy while dodging Xuanyuan Xingyao's "attack".
Xuanyuan Xingyao saw that Nangong Jing was laughing so hard that tears came out, and was worried that he would get a choke from laughing, so he stopped as soon as Nangong Jing apologized.
