Chapter 387: Predicament
The other ladies and maids all withdrew, amusedly. There were two left in the middle of the temple. The air is almost stagnant, and the rattling water curtain only makes people irritable and uneasy.
But it was only half a moment, Zheng Siying smiled. It seems to be a clean smile, slightly raising her chin, revealing a circle of teeth, and the sunlight reflects the beads of sweat on the corners of her forehead, which are clear, lining the crystal black eyes, making her whole person caged in layers of brilliance.
If the peony blooms in the fire, it will be refined with blazing lust and fragrance.
Li Jingting lost his mind for a moment.
Zheng Siying took the ball, flipped her legs, and with a coquettish sound, the ball crossed the silver line in the air and kicked it directly into the Merry Eye.
"Don't you think that there will be many reasons for us to cooperate?"
One word. The wind and the moon are broken and returned to the chess game. Interests come and go, which is the truth under prosperity.
Li Jingting returned to normal, and the light in his eyes burst out: "Passers-by thought the dog at the door was noisy, so they showed favor with minced meat." The dog's tail wagged happily. However, if a passerby wants to enter the house, the dog must not hesitate to open its fangs. β
"The prince is saying that there may be delicious meat for a while, but the Wang family and the royal family are inseparable after all?" Zheng Siying hooked the corner of his lips.
Li Jingting did not respond. Counts as default. Although the woman's gaze was cold, it was unexpectedly more solemn, not for the chess pieces, but for the opponent or companion.
"Not necessarily. β
Zheng Siying simply asked and answered herself, playfully erecting a finger, and the fingertip just touched a scar on her jaw, a small scar.
But it made her feel pain instantly.
At the palace banquet in Huaqing Palace that day, Wang Jian knocked over the tea cup, and the tea was hot, so it splashed on her face. No matter how expensive the gold sore medicine is, this scar can't be removed.
"Not necessarily. Zheng Siying repeated this sentence and looked directly at Li Jingting without dodging, "I just want the prince to remember that I, Zheng Siying, am the ally that the prince can choose." Not now, one day, it will be. β
Li Jingting chuckled, unable to distinguish joy and anger: "So you let this king watch the bow, just to tell this king these words?"
"Big changes are coming, don't everyone have to choose a good team. It doesn't matter about the family background, it's just about which side to stand on, the same is a friend, and the wrong is an enemy. So it's a word to sue the prince today, and it's not a word. It's my Zheng Siyingβ"
Zheng Siying paused and walked towards Li Jingting, she didn't bow down or bend her knees, she just stood without humility or arrogance, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, and her eyes were full of blazing fire.
"Sincerity. β
It's my Zheng Siying's sincerity. The last two words were spit out, and the fireworks in the woman's eyes were extremely hot.
"Good. Then maybe one day, this king can wait and see. Li Jingting dropped a sentence, turned around and left, and didn't look at Zheng Siying again.
and the hot face who was invited to watch Ju Kei before, it is completely two heavens of ice and fire.
It seems that he came to sniff the chess game, watched the whole game and was idle, and after talking about the chess game, he even stayed with the woman for half a moment, which was a waste of time.
Change your face only because of interests, and hot and cold only follow the purpose. Zheng Siying's face swept across the loneliness, but it was only a moment, and it was back to the past, the more the man was like this, the more it proved that her choice was right.
After all, the one who has no heart is the most powerful.
Since the sound of water in the rain garden, the water curtain is crystal clear, even in the middle of summer, the coolness hits, the wealth of this city is magnificent, can not cover the pale hypocrisy under the glitz.
days and twelve years. It's a hot summer. Xinfu, on the cusp of the limelight, was calm to the extreme.
has always shown his face, and he has not seen a shadow of Xin Yi wherever people go to turmoil, which disappointed those long-tongued women who are keen to chew their tongues, and Mr. Storyteller's board has not knocked on his head.
Everyone said that Miss Xinyi was worried about the stubble of the national gift and poetry.
was asked an ancestral question by the eldest girl of the Zheng family, on the one hand, the coquettish face of the Central Plains, and on the other hand, the temper of the barbarians in Southern Xinjiang. The emperor has a deadline of ten days, but I am afraid that this Xin girl is looking at the pen and ink from morning to night, one head and two big.
In fact, Xin Yi was really about to see through the rice paper.
She stayed in the study building all day and all night, covering the papers in front of the desk, piling up the four books and five classics into a hill, and rolling the crumpled waste poems all over the ground.
The people of Xinfu did not dare to breathe whenever they passed by. all know that the six girls are anxious to write poems, and if they are not careful, they will lose their heads, and the air in the whole house is depressed to the extreme.
10 days. It's been five days.
Only Xin Zhi was unaware of the crisis, lying in front of the bookcase, holding a small face and looking at Xin Yi: "The sixth sister has always been good at poetry and writing, even if it is the title of the ancestor, how can she not write?"
Xin Yi, who was buried in a pile of rice paper, reached out and knocked on Xin Zhi's head: "Silly girl." Of course I can write, and I can write the title of the Great Ancestor. The point is, I can write, can those barbarians understand?"
Xin Zhi was stunned: "...... It seems like...... Indeed a problem......"
Xin Yi shook his head: "Zheng Siying is not bad, she picked an ancestral question." Even if I try my best to keep the meaning of the text straightforward, I'm afraid that barbarians won't be easy to understand. You didn't look at the state banquet in Lishan, Zheng Siying just made an ancient rhyme, and the barbarians shouted that they didn't understand, and complained that our Great Wei looked down on them, which almost caused disputes between the two countries. β
Xin Zhi finally understood. The little face that was still smiling before suddenly wrinkled.
ββ¦β¦ That...... So what to do...... The sixth sister can't write casually, otherwise those old masters will say that you have neglected the holy will and insulted the face of the Great Wei ceremony...... It's not pleasing at either end......"
Xin Yi touched Xin Zhi's double bun and smiled: "You, you're finally smart." It's not just unflattering, it's a dead end at both ends. Zheng Siying seemed to invite me to take credit, but in fact, she laid a trap, and when the ten-day deadline arrived, I stepped on it and fell into a corpse. β
Xin Zhi scratched her left brain melon, and scratched her right brain melon, so worried that her eyebrows were upside down, and she simply worked with Xin Yi, sighing and sighing short.
"Listen to this sigh! This building is not called a book building, but a sigh building!"
Suddenly, the door of the study building opened, and Xin Qi walked in, bringing a breath of summer heat outside the house.
"Dad, close the door, it's shady inside, it's hot outside!" Xin Zhi pounced like a butterfly.
"Daddy is here. Xin Yi was blessed, and greeted him with a smile.
"You shut yourself up all day. There are only five days left in the emperor's deadline. I was really worried about my father, so I came and looked. Xin Qi nodded to Xin Yi, his face a little heavy.
Xin Yi lowered his eyelids and stopped talking. Xin Qi sulked and continued: "Ziqing, this situation of the Wang family is dangerous, and you have to take care of both ends, and if you are not careful, it will be a capital crime or even punish the nine clans." β
"Ah Zhi knows! It's all the girls of the Zheng family who have bad intentions! Deliberately force the sixth sister to her death!" Xin Zhi took over and shouted indignantly.
"Alright, Zhi. Pitchers have ears. These big truths are a little bit to say. Xin Yi stared at Xin Zhi with disgust, and looked at Xin Qi comfortingly, "Dad, don't worry." Your daughter is a person who has been praised by the queen and the emperor, and she is just writing poetry, and there is a way to do it after all. β
Xin Qi nodded, shook his head again, and the worry on his face became stronger: "How can it be so simple." Outsiders can see that they are composing a poem, and those in the chess game can see that they are walking on a cliff between life and death. Time is running out, how can I rest assured that my father can do it. β
Immediately, Xin Qi and Xin Yi were silent, and began to sigh face to face like Xin Zhi.
"Daddy also said that I and the sixth sister! This book building is really called a sigh building!" Xin Zhi waved her hand and pretended to smile with disgust, "The little one has stopped, and the old one is here again!"
"It's a twelve-year-old girl, and she doesn't say anything big or small. Xin Yi Zhengse reprimanded Xin Zhi, but looking at the latter's little face that was not afraid to raise up, it turned into a helpless smile on his face.
Xin Qi was not angry or angry, and was also amused. The oppressive air in the room began to flow, and the cicadas outside the window were unexpectedly pleasant.
