Chapter 79: Listening to the Drama
It wasn't until she left the palace and the carriage drove up the avenue that she still had a gloomy face, and she walked to the side mysteriously, not knowing what to do, and came back after a while, and I almost thought that she was too angry to go out with me.
"Why are you listless? Still upset? "The carriage was tapping and trolling, and I sat in the slightly bumpy carriage, and I looked at someone sitting on the other side with his arms in his arms as if he was sulking, and I was quite helpless - I didn't eat my snacks, and I didn't pay attention to talking to her.
This silent appearance with pursed lips is like an awkward child, which is a headache, but also cute. I've never seen her like this, as if she was revealing her truest self in front of me for the first time.
To be honest, I love it when she reveals her heart like thisβas if she has finally opened her heart and allowed me to enter.
If you really want to calculate it, in fact, I am much older than her, and I should have tolerated her and taken care of her more; I didn't have a chance before, she always protected me, and now I finally have the opportunity to teach me to coax her, how could I not be happy?
Seeing that she did not speak, I smiled and, despite the jolt of the carriage, tried to lean towards her.
It just so happened that the carriage tripped and I was about to fall to the side before I could react, but she immediately leaned over and held me firmly, and whispered, "What are you doing, sit down." β
"The carriage is too bumpy, I can't sit comfortably, you hold me, okay?" I snuggled into her arms, put my arms around her neck, hooked her head, and kissed her earlobe, saying flatteringly.
Only I know how such an intimate but frivolous act can be achieved through shyness.
"Since you don't like bumps, why do you come out?" She was still obsessed with my insistence on going out to the appointment, and glanced at me nonchalantly, turning her head away from my kiss - but the pinna of the ear was red all over.
I snickered and chased after her, rubbed her cheek nonchalantly, and persuaded softly: "That's already out, do you want to go back?" Don't be jealous~ End the errand early, I'll take you to eat something delicious, how about it? β
Seeing that she had softened, I hurriedly pursued her, and I was coquettish and foolish, and I didn't care about any dignified and majestic image - no one else saw it anyway.
"If you don't sit or not, what kind of body will you become." She snorted coldly, but didn't let go of the hand holding me, but hugged me tighter, but still didn't give me a good face, "Who is jealous?" Also, what's your tone of voice? Don't you treat me like a child? Your Highness, do you remember that your subordinates are older than you? β
She called me His Royal Highness, and claimed to be a subordinate, I was afraid that I was really annoyed, I secretly said that it was not good, so I had to follow her words and continue: "It was me who was wrong, I shouldn't be so rude, Lord Jiang, you have a lot, forgive the villain?" β
ββ¦β¦ Hum. She seemed to move, her lips softened a little, and she turned her eyes to look at me, but she was afraid of something, and immediately withdrew her gaze, the little appearance that she wanted to see was really cute, and I couldn't help but chuckle out loud, and reached out to poke her soft cheeks.
"You!" Her expression, which had softened, froze suddenly, and then she sank her face and stared at me without saying a word, like a kitten with its tail off, and her hair exploded.
I was afraid that if I didn't have a proper attitude, she would leave in a bad mood, so I had to hold back a smile, put on a posture of sincere admitting mistakes, pitifully hugged her neck, and said coquettishly against her chest: "Ah Zhuo~ My good Ah Zhuo, don't be angry with me, okay?" You know, if you ignore me, I feel uncomfortable all over my body, and here, it hurts even more......"
ββAs the saying goes, I can't help the wolf if I can't bear the child, so in order to teach her to dissipate her anger, I also let it go.
Coaxed softly, he took her palm and pressed it to his chest, and frowned pretendingly.
But I heard her gasp, her palm froze, and then she seemed to have her own consciousness, and rubbed it familiarly, although she didn't say a word, her expression had eased.
Biting her lip and enduring the whispering moans that were about to escape, she glared helplessly at the person who didn't know how to rest, but fortunately the carriage stopped at the right time to stop her more and more presumptuous movements.
I quietly breathed a sigh of relief, held down her strange hand, raised my voice to reply to the guard who was driving, and then rubbed her expressionless face, and coaxed in a good voice: "If you are worried, you will always be by my side, so that the third prince will not be good for me, how about it?" β
"Hmm." She nodded, took my hand again, and whispered, "Listen to Xue Ge." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. "How persistent this person is.
I had no choice but to compromise - admittedly, in fact, I wanted to be closer to her in my heart.
After getting out of the carriage, Lord Cheng Qian of Honglu Temple, who came with me to pick up people yesterday, had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw me, the excited eyes that seemed to see the savior taught me that I couldn't help but get goosebumps. β
She stepped forward a few steps into my ear and said urgently, "Hey, what's the mood for breakfast!" My Royal Highness, it's nothing for the lower officials to wait for a long time, but the third prince has been waiting since the hour of the hour, and he has to bring people to the palace to find you several times, if you don't come again, the lower officials are afraid that they will not be able to stop it! β
"Oh? What about him now? Thinking of the young man's domineering appearance, I can see that this Lord Qian must have suffered a lot of trouble, and I sympathized with her a little, and I didn't bother to care about the rudeness of her spitting when she approached, and quietly shook my head at Jiang Zhuo, who frowned and was about to block her away.
"Waiting in the inn dining room! I smashed two sets of tea sets, and if I continue to toss like this, I'm afraid that the accounts of the post station will be red this year. She said with a sad face.
"Well, this matter is indeed negligent on the part of the king, and the expenses damaged by the third prince will be counted in the king's account, and people will go to the palace to receive it in a while...... The king went first to meet him. Glancing at the grateful face of Honglu Temple, he walked past her amusefully, and walked into the post house, where he heard a crisp sound of porcelain breaking in the distance.
Take a few quick steps, and you will see a mess.
Regrettably, I glanced at the smashed fine porcelain and the dim sum that could not be seen in the original exquisite style, I avoided the pile of residues, walked to the empty seat in the hall and sat down, and made a look for the attendant to quickly clean up, and re-serve tea and snacks, and then looked casually at the third prince who turned his back and refused to look at me after I came in, and asked with a light smile, "What's the matter?" Who made His Excellency the Third Prince angry? Speak up, and this king will call the shots for you. β
"Who else, of course, you! You didn't keep your word, and I waited so long in vain! You say, you didn't mean it! He turned his head angrily, his eyes slightly red, as if he had been greatly wronged.
In this way, I can only follow the hair in a good voice - for the sake of him as a child, I don't care about him, and I just let him have a few points.
"You are wrong to blame this king," I thought of an excuse after a turn of my mind, I smiled kindly at him, and explained seriously, "This morning, this king specially went to Lixiang Courtyard, ordered a few new plays, and went to Yanque Tower to set up a banquet, this is only a little late, if the third prince is not satisfied, and then investigate the king's fault, how about it?" β
Lixiang Yuan is the most popular theater in Mission Hills City, and Yanque Tower is a prestigious restaurant, for the ordinary people, any place is hard to find, and they may not be able to enter the place if they break their heads, but for King Ling, it is just a matter of sending attendants to pass on a wordβthis is the preferential treatment brought by the power that I once avoided and determined to stay away from.
After all, I unconsciously compromised and accepted ...... This can't be said to be a kind of sadness.
Hiding the turmoil in my heart, I watched the third prince's face turn from gloomy to clear, and after taking Qiao, he gladly accepted my invitation and happily followed me to the theater a few blocks away.
Sure enough, he is still a child, and his temper comes and goes quickly.
Patiently sat in the box with the best position, glanced at Hua Dan and Xiaosheng babbling and singing lingering melody in the audience, acting out the story of separation and integration, and lost interest after a while; Turning his eyes to look at the three princes, he didn't expect him to be engrossed and relished, as if every nerve was affected by the joys and sorrows of the two protagonists.
Restrained her surprise, and then looked at Jiang Zhuo behind her, she was lowering her head, leaning on the side of the table, boredly peeling the water chestnut on the table, seeing me looking at her, she handed the peeled water chestnut to my mouth.
As soon as my heart was soft, I opened my mouth and took it in my mouth, and inadvertently touched her fingers, my face burned, and I was about to retreat, but I saw her suddenly raise her eyebrows, the different color flashed in her eyes, and her fingertips brushed lightly on my lips, and then retracted, tapped on my lips, and even stretched out my tongue to suck it...... I felt like my face must be flushed, otherwise she wouldn't have smiled like this.
Really, it's really ...... to be so blatantly molesting this king Audacious!
I glared at her amusefully and angrily, and before I could consider whether to pat her on the arm or pinch the back of her hand as a warning, I heard the third prince slam the table and roar menacingly: "It's too much! β
I was so shocked that I immediately swallowed the water chestnut in my mouth, turned my head to look at him, thinking that he saw my interaction with Jiang Zhuo, but I was embarrassed but also prepared to admit the worst, but he was fascinated by the drama under the stage, and fought for the abandoned protagonist.
"This man is too weak, he can only cry and beg his wife to change his mind, so he can't just make peace with her and leave her!" When the curtain came to an end and the singer turned into the inner room to change his costume, the third prince poured a cup of tea and commented angrily.
It seems that I am too careful.
Relieved, I nodded along with his meaning: "Yes, I don't have the courage to pursue what I love, but I'm just a coward." β
"But his unfortunate wife is a hundred times more hateful!" He said hatefully, turning his head to look at me, "Well, if it were you, would you be like this?" β
"This king will not fail his beloved." I replied without thinking, but I turned my head to look at Jiang Zhuo and smiled at her.
I looked at Jiang Zhuo's eyes and said this, and she also looked at me silently, the love in her eyes was surging, and she wanted to stop talking, I think she could understand what I meant-I wish to be a one-hearted person, and the white head will not be separated.
Just as the two of us were looking at each other, the third prince was interrupted, and he held his chin and asked unrelentingly, "Really? Are you sure? β
"Nature is true." With a light cough, I glanced at the Honglu Temple Cheng, who had reduced my sense of existence as much as possible, and nodded.
- Did she find anything?
In order to prevent this seemingly innocent boy from asking any embarrassing questions, I hurriedly diverted his attention: "After watching the play for so long, I guess Your Excellency the Third Prince must be hungry, right?" This king will take you to dinner. β
After I reminded him of this, he did feel hungry, and without waiting for my voice to fall, he hurriedly agreed, followed me out, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered something, carefully pulled my sleeve, and whispered: "That person is so annoying, can you tell her not to follow?" β
Following his gaze, it was the Honglu Temple Cheng who was smiling flatteringly.
Compared with this arrogant third prince, this Honglu Temple Cheng is obviously more experienced and scheming, with her by his side, it is not good for me to get too close to Jiang Zhuo, so as not to teach her to see any clues, and it is useless for her to follow left and right - except for acting as Kuang Xiqing's pawn to find out the news.
In that case, it is better to send her away, and we will be more comfortable.
Thinking of this, I agreed.
It's just that the third prince was so happy to see that I followed his will so much, and he wanted to pounce on me and hug my arm, but he taught me to regret it a little.
