Chapter 65: Freedom at Last
The carriage clattered and kicked the long street coldly, and the sound of shouting beside him could hardly reach Xiao Jiu's ears. After making trouble for so long, I finally felt embarrassed. His indifference was still vivid in his mind that day, and he went back so dumbly, what should he say when they met again? She was reluctant in her heart, she didn't realize it, and she was all embarrassed. But it's a scene where he wants to meet, and he can't get rid of his hated face. She thought angrily, if she wasn't reluctant to let Xiao Yuzi go, she would have to meet her, so she didn't want to come back.
When they arrived at the gate of King Ying's mansion, the carriage had just stopped, and the executives came out, like parents and elders, anxious and happy. looked her up and down to see that she was fine, and then said, "Xiao Jiu, you are back." If there is something in the future, I have to report it, and for a month and a half, the old slaves are all worried. ”
Xiao Jiu sneered. "Gao Fu looks stern on weekdays, and he doesn't want to worry about me. It's Xiao Jiu who is wrong, and he will make amends to you again, why don't you cook a good dish at night?"
The executive shook his hand and said, "Don't dare, dinner is ready, it's all your favorite food." ”
"Well, thank you for your attention. What about the prince?"
Executives are afraid of something. Since Lixia, he has felt that something is not quite right with this little couple. He watched Chu Yinghan grow up, and he had never seen him lose his temper so much, so he naturally recognized Xiao Jiu. In the past few days since she entered the palace, he really couldn't sleep. It's easy to look forward to coming back, and the prince took General Zihuai to the flower shop with great fanfare.
Hesitate for a moment. "Lord Wang, he has important business, and he has not been in the mansion for the past few days. ”
Xiao Jiu's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that there was really a battle? "Then I'll go back and rest first, don't be busy, the prince comes back, you ask someone to let me know, I have something to find him." ”
"Well, the girl will go and eat first. ”
Chunhua was still unhappy, and Xiao Yuzi followed up and asked. She said: "The girl is leaving, and we will not be in the palace in the future, and we will not be able to get out." I'm afraid I won't see it. ”
Xiao Yuzi was taken aback, recalling the prince who was also abnormal these days, and secretly asked, "What are they making awkward?"
Chunhua wiped away her tears. "I know, but that day the girl was punished to kneel in the palace, and the prince didn't even look at it when he came. ”
Xiao Yuzi also sank. "So, what a fallout?"
Chunhua nodded again, silent. A few people helped sort out the dishes and sat around. Xiao Jiu saw that the atmosphere was not good, and immediately called Xiao Shunzi, who was still standing aside.
"Xiao Shunzi, you are my person now, I have my rules, and I am still in the palace. You have to follow the rules in front of outsiders. But out of this mansion, you are my brother, I call you Shunzi, you call me Xiaojiu, everyone is friends and there are no rules, remember?"
Xiao Shunzi had long been surprised, why they could eat directly with the girl, Xiao Jiu said this, and he understood. was going to hit a thousand, but they all knelt down halfway, and hurriedly straightened up.
Xiao Yuzi watched it funny from the sidelines. With an envious tone, he said: "You are blessed, we will follow the girl in the future, and we don't know what to do." ”
When Xiao Jiu heard this, his heart was slightly sour, but he still raised the wine cup. "Look at what you said, we're all friends. Xiao Jiu has always relied on you to take care of him, and he will not forget you. ”
Chunhua was already wiping away tears, and the atmosphere was even more gloomy. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, and when I opened it, it was Zihuai.
"Brother Zihuai?" Xiao Jiu hurriedly greeted, but he ignored it, not as gentle as before. It seems that there are still complaints.
He didn't discipline everyone, but just said politely: "The prince heard that you are looking for her, let me take you over." ”
"Where to go?"
"You'll know when you get there. ”
Xiao Jiu saw that his expression was not good, and he also had some doubts in his heart. Ponder for a moment, ready to go straight away. I threw my things away when I was in Sanlizhang, and now I don't have anything to bring.
So he hugged Chunhua and patted Xiao Yuzi again. "You take care of yourselves. The rest of the words choked back.
Chunhua hurriedly grabbed her sleeve. "The girl is leaving now?"
Xiao Jiu smiled, "How come? I don't even have a place to settle down now." After thinking about it, he said: "Even if I leave the palace, I am also in Jiangdu City, and we can still see each other often." ”
Chunhua also felt that something was wrong, she was an insignificant subordinate, and she could only accept all the changes. A sigh. "The girl will come to see us often. ”
Xiao Jiu gritted his teeth and waved his hand. "Junko, let's go. ”
When Zihuai heard this, he immediately stopped it. "I have a carriage so I don't have to bring people. ”
Xiao Jiu was unwilling. "Shunzi is not from the Ying Palace, it is not good if I don't stay here with him, if it is inconvenient to follow, let him wait on Linfen Street. ”
Having said that, Zihuai has no other way. I had to put him down in the middle of the street.
The carriage ran very fast, and gradually walked towards Taihe Lake. Even though it's evening, the streets are bustling. Xiao Jiu's heart felt a chill. It doesn't feel good.
Sure enough, the carriage stopped at Taihe Lake. I took a small boat and sailed to the flower shop in the center of the lake.
Looking at the red and green flower boats in the distance, Xiao Jiu's face was gloomy, and he asked with a sneer, "What does the prince mean?"
Zihuai originally thought that Xiao Jiu had no intention of the prince, so that the prince lost his sense of proportion, and he got carried away and ran to the palace to make trouble. Now that she has a bad face, she is almost the same as the stinky prince these days, and she laments in her heart. But it is the love word that hurts the most.
also eased his face. with an explanatory tone. "The prince is busy with things, and he wants to discuss things here today, I heard that you are looking for him, and I am afraid that there is something urgent, so I will come to pick you up." ”
Xiao Jiu smiled faintly. "So your indifferent attitude is also because of "important things"? Zihuai was speechless for a while, and after thinking about it, it is indeed the same. simply nodded, and complained.
"Naturally, it's been a lot of trouble these days, not to mention me, even an old man in the senior management has lost a lot of weight, and the matter is not over yet, I'm afraid there will be no good days in autumn. ”
Xiao Jiu felt guilty, but on the other hand, he was also relieved that he had no family relationship with them, but he had to be so concerned. and Gao Fu, but he is much haggard when I see him today.
hurriedly explained: "The Northern Emperor was suddenly summoned, and I had no choice, there was no familiar person in the palace, and it was still the method that Imperial Doctor Ming thought of to report." Indeed, it is not my fault to worry you. “
When Zihuai heard it, it turned out that this was the case. But it's not going to be like this? I want to open my mouth. Xiao Jiu said again: "As for what the Northern Emperor is looking for me, he won't let me say, and I can't tell him." But now it's fine. ”
Zihuai sighed. "It's okay? I'm afraid there's a lot going on. Xiao Jiu was stunned for a moment, remembering what Beidi mentioned. was even more puzzled, but there was a person holding the boat beside him, and he swallowed the words into his stomach.
followed the child to conceive the flower shop, although there are women who sell themselves in this flower shop, but it is not a place where ordinary people can come, sometimes people with heads and faces bring their families to watch the show, so everyone is accustomed to Xiao Jiu and a woman coming up.
The prince was not in the hall, so he turned left and right and came up to the top floor. As the old * bustard opened the door of a huge room, the prince was sitting on the throne.
The lights inside are brilliant, and the warblers are singing and dancing. There were also a few women wearing straight tulle light skirts and completely lying on top of him. The slender jade hand took the wine cup and looked at him in front of his lips.
He didn't resist at all, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to enjoy it very much. As for the so-called ministers, there is not a trace of them.
Zihuai was completely stunned, which was completely inconsistent with the previous painting style. Xiao Jiu took a light breath and held back the sourness in his eyes. Said in a cold voice: "This is what you said about busy affairs?"
But he still walked in, with his indescribable pride and self-esteem, and a little bit of relief. Kneeling in front of me.
"People's girl Ling Jiujiu, see the prince!"
Chu Yinghan's eyes darkened, he withdrew the hand that was originally on the shoulder of the delicate woman, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you looking for this king?"
Only then did Xiao Jiu realize that two simple words could bring people distance. I didn't think about it carefully, for a long time, the words that opened the distance like this came out of her mouth.
It's not that I don't understand my mind, but I don't want to be scared, and I don't want him to be a noble prince and can't stay with her alone until he grows old.
It's okay like this, otherwise he always says he doesn't want to, and falls silently into his gentle arms.
Throat Chu Chu sour. "I" stopped suddenly, and a teardrop blocked by her eyelashes disappeared without leaving a trace.
Raise your eyes and smile. "The folk girl has been out for a long time, it's time to go back, the prince of Xinde has been taken in for many days, and I am here to say goodbye!"
Chu Yinghan's face did not fluctuate, but his heart was full of chicken feathers. It seems to be in an ice cellar, cold and stiff.
"Oh, Tuoba Gu finally found you?"
Xiao Jiu smiled coldly. "Not yet, so the folk girl plans to wait for him in Jiangdu City!"
Wait for him! The wine cup in Chu Yinghan's hand shattered into powder, but it was hidden behind the woman's sarnic clothes, and no one noticed it. It's a good one to wait for him, and he stayed in Jiangdu all the time just to wait for him.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiao Jiu has always been by his side as a man, even if he is seen one or two, he has to bother to cover it up. But with Tuoba Gu, not only did he easily say his background, but he also took the initiative to change back to his original appearance. Not only that, but a small promise was mentioned again and again.
Nothing more. threw out a sentence of "whatever you want," and fell into tenderness again.
Xiao Jiu clenched his palms and withdrew silently. My heart was desolate, and I endured the sourness and said goodbye to my son. Zihuai insisted on sending it, but saw the tears she was holding back. I had to ask the boatman to deliver it safely.
I was angry in my heart, and if I didn't know what was going on with the two of them, I was afraid that if I didn't reach the battlefield, I would be tortured to death by these two people.
Just push the door and listen inside. Indifferently roared: "Get out, get out of here!"
Zihuai was stunned for a moment, and slowly walked into the mess. I can't believe that Prince Ying, who has always been self-controlled, can be so gaffe.
Shaking his head, he smiled helplessly: "Why is this? I don't think Xiao Jiu is ruthless to you!"
Chu Yinghan returned to indifference. "Her heart is not here, and it hurts to stay by force!" took a sip of wine and asked, "How about the military salary?"
"It's business as usual, and we'll be able to go in two months. ”
"Is there anyone in the army who has a grudge?"
"No, when it was too peaceful, they were all gearing up and excited. ”
"Well, this is dangerous, and the terrain is unfavorable. Be careful!"
"Yes!" After Zihuai finished speaking, he looked at him cautiously and said, "It's just that the prince, you" thought about it and swallowed it back into his throat, thought about it, and said: "The city ban has been lifted for more than a month, and Tuoba Gu has been in the Xiban, and it seems that he has no intention of leaving the city, do you want to talk to Xiao Jiu about this." lest she wait in agony. “
Chu Yinghan's eyes dimmed, and he was even more sad. "If she wants to wait, she will wait, if Tuoba Gu has not appeared after the autumn, you will lead someone to arrest him in Jiangdu City. ”
