Chapter 239 His heart is clear
Rong Zhi's gaze couldn't hide the heat, the woman of Daxia was warm and cheerful, and it was rare to see such an elegant and quiet posture as in front of him, the reason why he was not averse to harmony was because the wife he was looking for was just like the person in front of him. The Confucian King remained silent and introduced: "It is the eighth sister of this king, Princess Duanmin." ”
Kang Yang stood behind Duan Min and listened to the conversation between the two back and forth, Rong Zhi seemed to deliberately ignore her, and couldn't help but feel humiliated and embarrassed from the inside out, but didn't her purpose just hope that Rong Zhi could take a fancy to Duan Min, so as to take over this marriage! She lowered her eyes and looked at the corners of her skirt, swallowing her hatred back into her stomach, only hoping that after Duan Min married into Xia Guo, she could become a lamb to be slaughtered in the mouth of this poisonous wolf, and she was powerless to turn over.
Rong Zhi was humble and polite, learning Chongnan's etiquette and smiling warmly at Duan Min: "The eighth princess is polite." ”
Duan Min's cheeks were red, and he refused to make any sound, and hurriedly squatted down to return the salute. Rong Zhi's eyes were amazingly bright, "Lord Confucian, it's better to meet by chance, since you meet the princess here, how about visiting the Fuling Palace?" "There is a difference between men and women, not to mention that you are a princess of a country, and you should know how to avoid foreign men, Rong Zhi's words are actually extremely rude, but he doesn't understand the etiquette of his country, and those who don't know it are not to blame. Duan Min hung his head deeper, hoping that the fourth brother could reply this sentence for him.
King Ru looked at Duan Min and asked, "What does the eighth sister mean?" He threw the question back to her.
Duan Min was at a loss, but Kang Yang said at this time: "Sister Duan Min specially accompanied Kang Yang here to enjoy the plum blossoms, so naturally she can't return in vain." As he spoke, he pushed Duan Min forward, and glanced at Rong Zhi with his eyebrows, Rong Zhi looked at Kang Yang, he looked at this person's actions, and understood her thoughts, it turned out that this person was not willing to marry him?
In this case, just as he wanted, he naturally couldn't let go of such a great opportunity. smiled back at Kang Yang at the moment: "What the county lord said is right. This smile almost covered the handsomeness and warmth of the Confucian king, like the sea of stars, confusing people's hearts. Kang Yang was stunned for a moment, but Rong Zhi's gaze had already turned to King Confucianism and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”
The Confucian King looked at a few people with a smile, didn't say anything else, made a gesture of please, and walked all the way to the Fuling Palace.
The scenery of Fuling Palace is suitable for winter and summer, and the plum blossoms on the mountainside are not inferior to the spring peach and summer lotus, and the blue lake is half frosty at this time, like a shy girl covering her stunning face. Rong Zhi turned his head to look at the light blue dress and silver white cloak on the end, and said with a smile: "This scene and this person are really wonderful!" ”
The Confucian King's gaze was fixed on the white jade railing of Tianbo Pavilion, and he didn't seem to notice Rong Zhi's praise of Duan Min, but Kang Yang's heart was sour when he heard this, as if she did this, she invisibly exalted Duan Min and belittled herself, making her even more unhappy. But she looked at the sparkling blue lake in half, and still smiled: "My sister is stunning, I don't know what kind of wishful husband I will find in the future?" ”
Rong Zhi raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "It turns out that the eighth princess is still in the position of a family affair?" ”
Duan Min was almost forced into tears under the attack of the two, and hurriedly covered his head. Rui'er beside her also saw that something was wrong, and looked anxiously at the Confucian king, but the Confucian king was instructing the palace people to cook wine and make tea. Kang Yang said: "Rui'er, Sister Duanmin's hands are very cold, you go find a hand stove." ”
Rui'er glanced at Princess Duanmin, but she didn't dare not listen, and she was anxious about where Xin'er went: "Wait a while, the princess will go back when she goes." ”
Duan Min nodded nervously, and moved his footsteps to where Kang Yang was standing, but Kang Yang whispered to her: "Sister, wait for my sister for a while, sister...... I want to change my clothes......" Under normal circumstances, saying this means to be respectful, Duan Min no longer wants to be alone with Rongzhi, and he can't go with her, so he has to stand in the distance, staring at his toes motionless.
Kang Yang patted the back of her hand as if he was comforting, turned around and walked to the nearby pavilion, leaving Duanmin alone with Rong Zhi and the envoy Song Ji, Song Ji glanced at his own prince, smiled slightly, took a few steps back with interest, and took a few steps back, and finally, simply went to the warm pavilion by the plum forest to help the Confucian King talk.
The two of them stood in the snow of the lake, if it weren't for the anxious eyes of the girl, they would really be like fairy couples. Rong Zhi took a step forward, he looked at Duan Min's face, and also saw Duan Min's anxious embarrassment, but he didn't have time, if he couldn't change the candidate for peace before tomorrow, he would marry Kang Yang, who was no different from the Great Xia woman, and he was really unwilling in his heart: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I don't know if you have heard of the three superb scenery of the Xia Kingdom?" ”
Duan Min naturally hadn't heard of the three great scenes of Great Xia, she just wanted to wait for her Jin Pavilion to return from the border with his military exploits, marry her, and they would live their own little life together, and no one would be able to disturb them in the future. She subconsciously retreated with Rong Zhi's steps, angry with a bad premonition in her heart, "I haven't ......"
"If you have the opportunity, you are willing to accompany the princess to visit the wonders of the summer country, and the princess will not be disappointed when she sees it." Rong Zhi's words were full of surprise and inexplicable softness that he himself felt, but the girl in front of him refused to look up at him, and retreated again and again.
"Presumably there will not be such an opportunity...... Duan Min panicked, not knowing what this prince of the Xia Kingdom was going to do, he should have said these words to the county lord of Kangyang.
"Not necessarily." The more Duan Min is like this, the more Rong Zhi is more affectionate and warm. At this time, there was no one on the side, he looked at her carefully from top to bottom, black hair and sideburns, red lips and jade face, and the tassels on the step have been hanging down on her thin shoulders, taking advantage of her eyebrows and eyes to be moving, this is what the book says, eyes like autumn water, fairy appearance? Her slender waist is not too small to hold in her hand, which makes him want to take it into his arms and cherish it. "Would the princess like to go back to Xia Kingdom next time? Although the customs of Xia Kingdom are different from those of Chongnan, they are warm as spring all year round, and the climate is pleasant, which is more suitable for a beautiful woman like the princess, and the princess will soon adapt to it. ”
Duan Min raised her head in astonishment, her eyes gathered a thick fear, her steps retreated, and a soft snowdrift slammed down, she was at a loss and vaguely saw a few people rushing behind Rong Zhi, but she couldn't suppress the tendency to fall down the snowy landslide, under the landslide is the ice lake, if you fall into it, you will freeze out if you don't die.
Rong Zhi's first reaction was to reach out and grab her arm, but the girl who made his heart soft gritted his teeth and avoided it, he suddenly remembered that Chongnan's woman would fall in love with her if she was touched by a man, so he was more and more unwilling to give up this opportunity, and suppressed the urge in his throat to call someone over, so he jumped forward and hugged the slender waist of the person in front of him and pulled her back from the edge of the ice lake.
However, there was a sudden sound of breaking the sky behind him, and Rong Zhi was so shocked that he could only reflexively avoid the attack of the flying blade, so Duan Min slid down the slope and saw that he was about to fall into the lake. Mu Yunfei stepped forward, grabbed Duan Min, whose foot had been immersed in ice water, turned around and rolled half a circle, and hooked his right leg on the willow wood by the lake, which could stop the fall.
"Princess!" Xin'er had already rushed forward with a loud cry, Qingge supported Li Shuci to stand not far away, the two of them were obviously forcibly suppressing their rapid gasp, Xia Xing said: "County master, slave maid go to help." ”
Rong Zhi looked at Li Shuci with gloomy eyes, "Who are you?" Sneak attack on this prince? ”
Li Shuci glanced at him, and walked in front of Duan Min, who was standing firmly and full of panic, "The princess is frightened and soaked in ice water, so it's important to go back quickly." At this time, Rui'er had already seen this scene from a distance, and in a shock, the hand stove also fell aside, and she hurried over: "Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
Duan Min was so frightened that her face was pale, she couldn't say a word, she sobbed quietly in Li Shuci's arms, Li Shuci patted her on the shoulder, and said, "The princess doesn't need to worry, it matters to go back and cook ginger soup to ward off the cold first." Rui'er Xin'er, you two hurry up and go back with the county lord. ”
Kang Yang got the news and saw the back of Duan Min leaving: "What's wrong with Sister Duan Min?" ”
Rong Zhi's face was full of displeasure, and seeing that Duan Min had disappeared from his field of vision, he stared at Li Shuci and said dissatisfiedly: "Who are you?" ”
Li Shuci turned around and looked at him and said with a smile: "Why do the three princes know who I am, in short, I am the one who prevented the three princes from falling into an unkind and unjust situation!" ”
Kang Yang stepped forward and said, "County Lord Yongning, how can you be unreasonable to the third prince?" ”
Li Shuci was surprised: "Lord Kangyang didn't see anything, why did he suddenly say that?" Oh, that's right, the county lord is going to make a good marriage with the three princes tomorrow, and he naturally wants to talk to the three princes no matter what. However, Fang Cai, if I hadn't happened to meet and saved Princess Duanmin in front of the third prince, I'm afraid that this marriage would have turned into a disaster. ”
"Humph! If this prince saves the princess in public, he will naturally be responsible for the princess, and ask the prince to give the princess to this prince as his wife, can you use this little county lord to meddle in your affairs! ”
Kang Yang's face turned pale, although she thought so, but being ignored and disliked by a man, I am afraid that no one can stand it.
Li Shuci secretly laughed at Rong Zhi actually wanted to appeal to the thoughts in her heart, she glanced at Kang Yang, but her face was silent, "Three princes, now everyone in the world knows that the county lord of Kangyang is about to marry Xia Guo and achieve good things with the three princes, but I didn't expect the three princes to be dissatisfied in their hearts, if this matter is known by the king, I don't know if it will be regarded as despising the imperial power of our dynasty?" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Li Shuci's words obviously said that Daxia was insatiable and had other schemes, and Rong Zhi's face turned black to the end.
"If the third prince wants to be responsible for the eighth princess, where will the county lord be honored? Where is the face of the king? Could it be that my Chongnan's children are the three princes who can be picked up at will, and they can be exchanged when they say they will be exchanged? When it falls, not only will the county lord of Kangyang become the laughing stock of the world, but the monarch will inevitably feel that Daxia actually manipulates the princess of my dynasty at will. If you don't take my Chongnan imperial power in your eyes, will this matter of harmony stop here? Therefore, we did this completely for the sake of righteousness, for the sake of the harmony between Great Xia and Chongnan, in order to avoid the three princes being criticized, and for the sake of the future happiness of the county lord of Kangyang and the three princes. ”
Rong Zhi looked at Li Shuci in a deep voice: "So, this prince still wants to thank you?" ”
