Chapter 26: Marriage Proposal
Seeing Yaoling sitting at the table washing her hands, Ji Rujin said softly: "You stabbed the tiger's buttocks." Yao Ling smiled playfully at him and said, "You're scared." Ji Rujin didn't say anything when she heard this, just picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea elegantly, her dark eyes looked at Yao Ling and smiled lightly, "I don't know how to write the word fear yet." Yao Ling laughed.
As he was talking, he heard a galloping of horses' hooves, and in a moment he heard the sound of soldiers running from below the first food in the world, and then he heard someone shouting loudly and arrogantly downstairs: "Take everyone back, and not a single one will be missed." Then the soldiers in full armor ran up the stairs and stood at the door of all the private rooms. Ji Rujin looked at Yao Ling, and at this moment, Yao Ling was playing with a small bell with a flat face, looking like she didn't care about herself. Suddenly, Ji Rujin stretched out her hand, pressed the bell in Yaoling's hand and whispered in her ear, "Don't go out." Yao Ling looked at him, only to see that he changed his lively and cheerful appearance and replaced it with a proud and cold expression, he got up and walked out of the private room, and at this time the people in the private room came out, and those people bent down one by one when they saw Ji Rujin and said, "Meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince." The arrogant chief of the guard downstairs looked up and saw Ji Rujin and hurriedly saluted. Ji Rujin looked at the imposing appearance downstairs, and said coldly: "Whose soldier is this so arrogant." The chief of the guard hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "The villain is a first-class guard next to the general, because my second son was injured, the general ordered me to wait for the murderer." "Oh, so this is a soldier of General Liu's family. There was an imperceptible glint in thistle's eyes. The guard immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, and his body standing downstairs was trembling. At this moment, I heard an old cough outside the restaurant, and then a majestic voice said, "Damn minion, you can't speak." Then a tall half-old man in a gray brocade robe appeared at the door of the restaurant. With three strands of long hair and grim eyebrows and eyes, the entire hall immediately became silent and cold because of the appearance of this old man. Liu Tie looked up at Ji Rujin upstairs and saluted slightly: "The lower officials meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince." "Oh, Old General Liu, excuse me. Ji Rujin proudly showed a perfunctory smile on her face: "I don't know why General Liu is in such a position?" Liu Tie stroked his beard, and a pair of glittering triangular eyes shot out a little sadness: "The child just passed through this place, but he was unexpectedly shot in the eye by the gangster, and the old man was heartbroken before he dispatched the soldiers of the barracks to arrest the murderer." "In this way, can the old general know who the murderer is?" Ji Rujin said with an anxious look for Liu Tie. Liu Tie replied with great hatred but still respectfully: "I'm ashamed, the child is stupid, and he didn't know who he was injured by, but there was a bell embedded in the injury." Ji Rujin was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be stunned and said: "The day before yesterday, I heard that Jiang Lixi Wu has a witch who specializes in robbing bullies, powerful and corrupt officials, and this woman will appear every time she robs the bell." Isn't that the witch coming to the country of thistle?" Hearing this, Liu Tie's face became gloomy and uncertain, and the light that was clearly extinguished in the depths of his small triangular eyes flickered. After a long time, he said to Ji Rujin Shili: "Since His Royal Highness the Third Prince is here, presumably that villain will not appear here. The lower official will retire. He said to the guard officer, "Don't take down the stupid thing." Looking at Liu Tie who went out, a wisp of disgust flashed in Ji Rujin's eyes.
When he entered the private room again, he saw Yaoling staring at him with bright eyes, and he couldn't help touching his face and said, "Do I have flowers on my face?" Then Yaoling giggled and said, "I don't see that you can scare people." Looking at Yaoling, who was smiling and like a flower, he lowered his head lightly and said in her ear: "Who said you weren't that little witch?" Yaoling suddenly stopped laughing, looked at Ji Rujin in a daze, and said; You already knew. Ji Rujin nodded and said seriously: "You are too ruthless, the bell is inlaid into the eyes of Liu Ergongzi." Then he looked at Yao Ling, and Yao Ling also looked at him, and suddenly the two of them burst out laughing.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the two looked towards the door together, only to see Feng Zhao walking in with a flat face, and there was no expression in his eyes, Yao Ling opened her mouth and only said two words: "Xiao Feng" Ji Rujin looked at Yao Ling and then looked at Feng Zhao and said lightly: "King Ning Jun, you came out of the palace so quickly." Feng Zhao also smiled indifferently and said: "The affairs of the palace are with Lord Wen, and this king is just accompanied." After speaking, he walked towards Yaoling, gently stretched out his hands, untied the colorful diamond yarn around Yaoling's waist and put it in his cuffs, and said slowly in a low voice: "This is the country of thistle, I am here to welcome my relatives, if you want to play, wait for me to welcome the six princesses back to Yanlong and take you to have a good time." After that, he turned to Ji Rujin and said: "Thank you to the third prince for your hospitality to Ling'er, he will definitely have a banquet for the third prince to show his gratitude when he has time in the future." This is the king's farewell. After that, he took Yaoling's hand and gave away. Yaoling quickly turned around and grimaced Ji Rujin when she went out, and then obediently stuck behind the wind and left. Ji Rujin looked at Fengzhao and Yaoling's backs for a moment, and then he also followed out quickly, saying as he walked: "Wait, this prince will go with you." ”
In the General's Mansion, Liu Tie's face was cold, he looked at the people standing in the room and said, "Are you sure that the third prince's private room has come out of Yanlong's King Ningjun and a woman." The subordinate nodded and said, "King Ningjun went in later, and it didn't take long for him to come out with the woman's hand." "Does that woman have a bell on her?" Liu Tie asked again, "The subordinate shook his head and said, "I didn't hear the bell ring." Liu Tie was silent for a long time.
Besides, Feng Zhao took Yao Ling's hand out of the restaurant door and got into the carriage, when the carriage was about to leave, the third prince Ji Rujin also got into Feng Zhao's carriage, and as soon as he entered the car, he said to Feng Zhao: "I'll accompany you to the post house, anyway, I have nothing to do." After speaking, she winked at Yaoling on the side, and there was a smile in Yaoling's eyes, and then the hand held by Fengzhao hurt slightly, and she hurriedly put away her smile and pretended not to see thistle Rujin. Looking at Fengzhao and did not refuse, Ji Rujin sat on the soft chair opposite, he wanted to find some topics to talk about, but Fengzhao didn't pay attention to him, Yaoling just secretly looked at him, so he seemed to say to himself: "The palace is going to invite the envoys of Yanlong tomorrow, I heard that for this banquet, the palace took great pains to invite the chefs of Tiannan and Haibei to make up exquisite songs and dances a month earlier. Suddenly, Yaoling's eyes next to Fengzhao lit up, her small mouth opened slightly, and there was a pain in her palm, she quickly closed her small mouth again, Ji Rujin looked at the two people in front of her, and couldn't help but hurriedly said to Fengzhao: "King Ningjun, you are not so stingy, I fell in love with Miss Yaoling at first sight, why do you bother to stop you like this." He deliberately said "love at first sight" very seriously. Sure enough, the wind with a face as light as water showed a bright and extinguishing light, stared at Ji Rujin tightly for a moment, and said softly in his mouth: "If you don't close your mouth again, believe it or not, I'll throw you out of here." Ji Rujin hurriedly pretended to stroke her chest and said, "I'm so scared." Yaoling on the side couldn't help laughing anymore. Feng Zhao immediately turned his head to look at Yao Ling, Yao Ling hurriedly used his other hand to eat and laugh, Ji Rujin next to him secretly grimaced, Yao Ling was even more happy, only to see Feng Zhao wave the sleeves of his robe and a wind immediately rushed towards Ji Rujin, followed by the car door opened, Ji Rujin was rushed out by the air current, only to hear a bang Ji Rujin fell on the street. The carriage drove away, and Ji Rujin on the side of the road shouted loudly: "Chang Yuening, I'm not done with you." Yaoling in the car was stunned and stopped laughing at the moment Ji Rujin was thrown out, and when she heard him shout out of the words, she laughed even harder, and suddenly Fengzhao's face came to her face and said coldly: "Is there enough trouble?" She immediately stopped laughing, looked at Fengzhao fixedly, looked at her and found that there was a trace of laughter in Fengzhao's eyes, and then both of them laughed.
The next afternoon, the palace of Jiguo really wanted to hold a banquet to entertain Yanlong's envoys, Yaoling repeatedly asked Fengzhao to take him there, but the inner courtyard of the palace only invited Fengzhao and Lord Wen, and no other people could enter, and Fengzhao couldn't bring her in, so he had no choice but to promise her to come back and bring her some food and fun, so she just left. When he was about to go out, he looked at Yaoling with some complexity, and said after a while: "If that Ji Rujin comes, you are not allowed to go with him." Yaoling was stunned.
After the wind shone away for an hour, Yaoling heard someone calling her outside the post house, opened the window and saw a light purple thistle Rujin standing at the door of the post house beckoning to her, she pursed her lips and waved the colorful brocade in her hand out, and her people also followed it and slid out of the post house. Looking at Yao Ling floating down from the air, Ji Rujin praised with envy on her face. When he finished praising it, Yao Ling asked, "Why are you here again," Ji Rujin smiled mysteriously and said to Yao Ling that you got in the car. When the two of them entered the car, they saw that the table in the car was full of food boxes on the floor, and the aroma of the dishes came to their nostrils, and suddenly Yaoling's face had a greedy and salivating expression. Ji Rujin looked at Yao Ling, who looked greedy, and muttered: "I know you are greedy, I brought it to you, if it wasn't for that Chang Yuening staring at me closely, I would have come a long time ago." Hearing him say that Feng Zhao Yaoling remembered the way he was thrown off the carriage yesterday, he couldn't help but show a wicked smile, Ji Rujin's face turned red, and his mouth chattered: "Isn't it just that I don't know kung fu, it's not all for you, you still laugh at me like this." Hearing him say this, the smile in her eyes became stronger, patted him on the shoulder, and said haughtily: "It doesn't matter if you don't know kung fu, whoever bullies you in the future, come to me, I will protect you." Hearing this, Ji Rujin looked excited: "This is what you said, don't regret it." Yaoling smiled and nodded, "Then what if Yanlong's Changyue Ning throws me out of the carriage again?" Yaoling was slightly stunned for a moment, and then pretended to be scared and whispered: "I'm also afraid of him, it's better for you to run away when you see him in the future, I can't help you." There was a trace of disappointment in Ji Rujin's eyes, and at this time, Yaoling had already reached out to remove the lid of the food box under her hand. "Wait" Ji Rujin hurriedly stopped: "I'll take you to a place to eat." Yaoling looked at Ji Rujin with some doubts, he smiled sneakily, and said to the coachman outside: "Go outside the east gate" The carriage gurgled up, and half an hour later, came to the bottom of a mountain outside the east gate, the mountain range stretched but not steep, Ji Rujin ordered the coachman to move all the food boxes to the top of the mountain, and then went up the mountain with Yaoling. At the top of the mountain, there is a relatively flat place, where a brocade carpet has been laid, which is full of large and small food boxes, and even delicate tea cups and wine pots. She said. Ji Rujin pretended to be deep and said: "There is wine and drunk today, and it will be sad every day" but there is really deep sorrow in his eyes. When Yaoling was slightly stunned and wanted to ask something, Ji Rujin regained her previous liveliness, and opened all the food boxes with her hands, and for a while the top of the mountain was filled with the fragrance of food. Yaoling immediately sat on the brocade carpet with shiny eyes, stretched out her hand and dragged a chicken leg on the plate, "chopsticks, chopsticks" Ji Rujin next to her handed her a pair of chopsticks and kept shouting in her mouth. Yaoling was as if she couldn't hear it, and she pulled a chicken leg with both hands and was torn off. Ji Rujin on the side shook her head helplessly.
At this time, the sun was already in the west, and it was about to set, and Ji Rujin, who was sitting on the brocade carpet, looked at the sunset opposite, and beside him was the Yaoling who ate with relish. He grew to a solemn look on his face, he had often come here to watch the sunset, and this time he took her with him, and although he had only known her for two days, he felt in his heart as if he had known her many years ago. None of the women in the boudoir he liked. Looking at Yaoling, who was eating indecently, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Will you marry me?" he said softly. Yaoling on the side was eating beautifully, and suddenly heard such a sentence. Turning his head, there was still a piece of meat in his mouth. With a puzzled face, looking at him with a serious face, Yaoling swallowed the meat in her mouth, wiped her mouth and eyes but never left his eyes, and suddenly she smiled, "What do you say? "I'll wait for you" Ji Rujin looked at Yaoling's eyes seriously, and said seriously: "Although I was born in the palace, no one has ever really loved me, and I have never really loved others. Ever since I was a child, all I saw was intrigue, intrigue and deceit. My greatest wish in this life is to bring my loved ones to live ordinary and happy days. I don't want any imperial power or wealth. After that, there was a deep sadness in his eyes. Yao Ling looked into his eyes for a long time and said, "You and I have only known each other for two days, how can you be sure of your thoughts?" Ji Rujin smiled a little bitterly: "You said that we have only known each other for two days, but for me, it is as if I have known you many years ago, this is really a wonderful feeling." Hearing this Yaoling was a little panicked, she was only twelve years old, although she understood more or less about men and women, but she had never seen or heard of such a direct marriage proposal. Looking at Ji Rujin's warm and focused eyes, she was a little flustered.
At this time, she heard the sound of slow footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw a head with long hair scattered coming out of the slanting mountain road little by little, "Xiaofeng" She covered up the embarrassment with a crisp cry. Ji Rujin didn't look back, and when he heard footsteps, he knew who it was. He thought to himself: Chang Yuening, you hear better.
Feng Zhao walked up to Yaoling, looking at the food box in the place, there was a slight chill in the corner of his eyes, Yaoling next to him was a little panicked somehow, thinking that he must have listened to what he said just now. She looked at Fengzhao a little nervously. The two hands couldn't help but screw together. Looking at Yaoling with a nervous face, Feng Zhao suddenly smiled: "It seems that my Yaoling has really grown up, and someone has proposed." He said softly, reaching out a hand and scratching her little nose. At this moment, Ji Rujin twisted his face to Fengzhao and said indifferently: "My Fair Lady, the gentleman is good." If you like it, don't you let others like it? There was a faint flame rising in Fengzhao's eyes, but it slowly dissipated for a moment, and he said softly: "As long as Yaoling is willing, I will not stop it." After that, he took out a brocade and gently wiped the oil stains off Yaoling's mouth, then took her hand and wiped the oil stains on her hand, and then looked at Yaoling deeply and asked softly: "Someone proposed to you, what do you say?" Yaoling panicked, originally thought that when the wind came, he would block Ji Rujin's proposal for her, but he threw this question to her again, and she looked at Fengzhao with some anger and pleading. Ji Rujin on the side looked at the light of Yaoling's eyes, and her heart ached slightly: She didn't love me after all.
Feng Zhao looked at Yaoling's pleading and panicked eyes, and her heart was a little annoyed, a little painful, and more love. Looking at Ji Rujin with eyes as deep as a cold pool, he slowly said word by word: "The only thing I have in this life is Yaoling, and I will not allow and will not let anyone take her away from me." Hearing this, Ji Rujin was stunned, and Yaoling on the side suddenly seemed to have been knocked by something, and looked at Fengzhao in a daze.
