Chapter Twenty-Three: The Prince of Northern Chu
The voice was proud, and it did not hide the contempt in its tone. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meng Xia suddenly stopped, and quickly looked for prestige, only to find that there was a young man in Tsing Yi sitting on the courtyard wall diagonally opposite, looking at her condescendingly.
"Who are you? Why are you sitting there? ”
She looked at the young man, secretly guessing the identity of the other party.
"Aren't you smart? Guess! ”
The young man in Tsing Yi was still sitting on a high place, and he didn't come down, so he said to Meng Xia like that: "If you can't guess, it means that you are nothing more than that." ”
"Can't you just talk well? This is my place! If you don't take the initiative to report your name and surname, and explain why you are here, I will call for someone to arrest you as an assassin! ”
Meng Xia didn't like the tone of the young man in Tsing Yi very much, and naturally he wouldn't honestly follow what others said.
This person is dressed luxuriously and magnificently, of course he will not be an errand person in the palace, and the prince Meng Xia of this age has also seen all of them, so it is impossible for him to be one of her so-called royal brothers.
is both noble and not the emperor's heir, and can come and go freely in the palace, and even can enter and exit the harem.
"Little girl, you dare to threaten me?"
The young man in Tsing Yi shook his legs funny, and said indifferently: "You can shout as much as you like, I want to see how I became an assassin and was going to be caught." ”
"Anyway, you are also the prince of Northern Chu, can you pay attention to your image, don't run to the wall like a thief?"
Meng Xia didn't bother to be serious with this person, so he had to say: "You hurry down and let people see it!" ”
Two months earlier, Southern Meng and Northern Chu had formally signed an armistice agreement and formed an alliance with each other. In order to show his sincerity, Northern Chu sent his prince Chu Zhengqian to Southern Meng as a hostage.
Although Chu Zhengqian is a proton, Emperor Meng Zhao treats him very favorably, so that he enjoys the same or even better treatment as ordinary princes of Southern Meng, as long as the two countries get along with each other one day, Chu Zhengqian will be a distinguished guest of Southern Meng.
Of course, if one day Northern Chu tears his face and ignores the agreement, the first person to pay the price for this breach of contract will be Chu Zhengqian, the prince of the prince.
"I'll just say, based on your performance in the study today, it's impossible not to guess who I am."
Seeing Meng Xia tell his identity, the young man jumped down, fell directly into the backyard, walked up to Meng Xia and said, "Okay, now guess what I'm here for!" ”
"Prince Chu, you can't help but make some inches like this, right?" Meng Xia looked at Chu Zhengqian, who had a bit of a scoundrel aura in front of him, and said dissatisfiedly: "We don't even know each other officially, how do I know what you are doing here all of a sudden?" ”
"Then let's get to know you officially, my name is Chu Zhengqian, and your name is Meng Xia. Okay, now that we're officially acquainted, guess what. ”
Chu Zhengqian patted the dust on the hem of his clothes as he spoke, urging Meng Xia.
He was very tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a high nose, and very upright facial features, but he was slightly thin, his complexion was much whiter than that of ordinary girls, and there was no femininity in his pitching demeanor.
Seeing this, Meng Xia really didn't understand Chu Zhengqian's thinking, could it be that making people guess riddles was one of his major habits?
"I really can't guess, if you have nothing to do, go back, I still have to practice boxing."
She turned and walked towards the empty space above her, not wanting to deal with such an inexplicable person anymore.
But who knows, as soon as Meng Xia took a step, Chu Zhengqian stuck up with precision, but it didn't exceed the distance between the two before: "I said that you have a boxing technique like that, and it is useless to practice it many times." In this way, if you guess correctly, I will teach you a good way to ensure that you will get twice the result with half the effort! ”
Meng Xia didn't want to entangle with Chu Zhengqian, but this would change his mind.
It wasn't because of the temptation of the so-called benefits of the last sentence, but she suddenly realized that she had been ignoring something before.
After waking up, Meng Xia knew that Chu Zhengqian's seemingly ordinary actions were not ordinary.
That's definitely a very good practitioner, absolutely well-trained.
Meng Xia thought that she had always been deaf and clear-sighted, but when Chu Zhengqian appeared on the wall, she didn't notice it at all, if it wasn't for that guy speaking out on his own, it is estimated that she wouldn't have realized the existence of such a big person by now.
Also, he jumped from a high place easily, not to mention, but also directly in front of him, such a long distance is naturally easy to come in one step.
In addition, as well as the accurate prediction when he stopped her way just now, and the just right follow-up, although all of this is natural and traceless, but if you think about it, it is not at all possible for ordinary people to do it.
"There are countless reasons why a person suddenly runs to someone else's house. However, there is nothing between the prince of Chu and me, and you appeared in this way, so I think that the prince of Chu is most likely to come here inadvertently for some other reason. ”
After thinking about it, she guessed directly: "Just now I noticed that you were looking around my yard, you should be looking for something." Maybe it's a living thing, maybe you've been chasing that thing for a long time, and you ended up here. ”
As soon as these words came out, Chu Zhengqian was stunned and looked at Meng Xia in a daze for a long time without moving.
"What, am I really right?" Seeing this, Meng Xia couldn't help but laugh and asked rhetorically again.
"No wonder my queen mother has repeatedly told me to be careful of women, I didn't understand it before, but now I fully understand."
Chu Zhengqian shook his head with a ghostly look, looked at Meng Xia and sighed: "Your intuition is too accurate, it's really scary!" ”
With these words, he admitted that Meng Xia was right.
Meng Xia didn't expect that he would really guess it, and he didn't expect Chu Zhengqian to pull out what his mother said to him, and he was a little speechless for a while.
"What's that look on your face?" Soon, Chu Zhengqian flattened his mouth and said, "You guessed it right, are you still like this, are you afraid that I will go back on my word?" ”
"That's not true, but I'm thinking, if your mother knows that you casually tell others her advice, I'm afraid she will be unhappy, right?"
Meng Xia said, walked to the stone table not far away and sat down.
Looking at it like this, she won't be able to get rid of this Chu prince for a while, she might as well save her energy and rest for a while.
"What's there to be afraid of...... Chu Zhengqian smiled indifferently, and instead sat down opposite Meng Xia and said, "She's been dead for several years, where is there anything to be happy about." ”
Meng Xia was really speechless now, and looked at Chu Zhengqian for a while, and his heart was a little sour.
She really didn't know that the Queen of Northern Chu had passed away, otherwise she wouldn't have said this.
