22. Can't keep it (8)
I had so many questions in my heart, I slept a lot during the day, and at night Lu Qianjin couldn't sleep, so he pulled Yingzheng and let him sneak to Chu Yuan's study with him.
Ying Zheng watched her pull herself, secretly poked and took out the night pearl, and looked like she came over to steal the money, and the expression on her face really couldn't bear to look at it directly. "Daughter, my current body is still Chu Yuan's." So they are now equivalent to being in their own home, why do they make such a lewd act?
She took the time to glare at him: "Doing this kind of thing is all about whether the atmosphere is good or not, and I don't feel it when I come openly." β
ββ¦β¦ Then you should go to a certain treasure and buy a masked black mask. β
She paused in her forward steps, and when she looked back, her eyes lit up with fright. Ying Zheng was furious when she saw her: "What are you doing?" β
"Ah Zheng, you are so good! It's only taken long to know a certain treasure, you're so smart~"
Ying Zheng was speechless, and pulled her inside: "Don't say it......" He felt that he couldn't get the points of his daughter.
Chu Yuan's study is very tidy, and there is an unfinished painting on the desk. Lu Qianjin originally thought that according to Chu Yuan's identity, he should also paint some landscapes if he didn't paint orchids or anything to express his high-end sentiments. Walking over and shining in the light of the night pearl, the whole person suddenly felt a little bad.
The portrait is of a woman, drawn in great detail. The embroidery patterns on the palace clothes are clearly outlined, and the clouds and black hair are painted with beautiful fallen horse buns. Everything was painted, but the woman's face was blank.
"It's kind of interesting." sat down on the chair, picked up the painting and looked at it for a long time, "Ah Zheng, guess what, who is the person painted on this painting?" β
Still guessing? Ying Zheng stood aside and glanced at her, "Princess Liu Chuyu of Shanyin." β
"Normal people would guess that it was Princess Nanjunxian......"
Ying Zheng said: "Princess Nanjun Xian is Chu Yuan's wife, you can see it every day, he is still painting here when he is full?" Anyway, he didn't think Chu Yuan liked Princess Nanjun much much.
Nodding matter-of-factly, "Actually, I think so too." If Chu Yuan really liked Princess Nanjun Xian, she would never be so unable to sit still today. Tsk, Chu Yuan's taste is very heavy, Liu Chuyu is still his niece in name, and he is so blatantly crushed...... was calculated by his aunt, calculated by his uncle and husband, and secretly loved by his uncle, tsk, Liu Chuyu is too miserable. If she doesn't become an immortal, it will be intolerable. β
The corners of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched/twitched: "The focus now is not this. "Didn't I come tonight to find out what Chu Yuan and Princess Nanjun Xian did in the death of Liu Chuyu......
Lu Qianjin seemed to have only remembered at this time, and said, "That's right...... You can go back and ask Liu Chuyu slowly. "He took the bronze mirror out of his sleeve and pulled a hair out of his head." Let's see what happened to the two of them. β
The hair is submerged in the mirror, and between the ripples and tremors, the picture is blurry and clear.
Ying Zheng and Qianjin both thought that Chu Yuan would appear in the picture, but this was not the case.
When they first met, He Ji and Liu Chuyu were not as unbearable as they were later.
Back then, this word always sounded too cold.
It was the height of summer, and the lotus flowers were in full bloom. At that time, Liu Chuyu's father was Liu Jun, the emperor of filial piety, and he specially held a grand lotus appreciation party. Liu Chuyu is the favorite princess of Emperor Xiaowu, relying on this favor, she sneaked away and hid in the lotus pond on the side.
In such a hot summer, she sat in the bucket, peeling off the layers of lotus leaves like jasper, and her face was the most delicate lotus in this lotus pond. Picking a lotus flower that had not yet bloomed and pinning it to the bun, her laughter spread out like a silver bell, and with the sound of water, it was her singing that hummed the music of Yuefu lotus picking.
He Ji came here at this time. She followed the lotus, but he followed the laughter.
At the banquet, Princess Nanjun Xian saw his yearning look, and added with a special smile: "It sounds like it came from the lotus pond, it must be a young palace maid, when she is delicate/tender and lively." β
He Ji pulled his head at random, and his feet seemed to be uncontrollable, and walked towards the place where the song floated over. Walking to the edge of the lotus pond, the first thing I saw was a pair of lotus arms, among the jasper-colored lotus leaves, bright and white, a little dazzling.
The singer hid behind the lotus leaf, and could only see that it was a small one, and his face was blocked by the lotus leaf, and he couldn't really see it. He Ji's heart was a little itchy by the lotus root, and he subconsciously poked his head out, wanting to see her appearance clearly.
Liu Chuyu looked through the gap in the lotus leaf and vaguely saw a figure standing on the edge of the lotus pond. I thought it was my father who called her maidservant, opened the lotus leaf, and said crisply: "What are you doing?" β
As soon as the words came out, he was stunned.
She didn't expect that the man standing outside was a man she had never seen before, and he was still a very handsome man.
Only then did He Ji see her face clearly. He was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a hanging bun and no other ornaments in his hair, except for a budding lotus flower, with a drop of water on it, shining dazzlingly under the sun. She knelt in the bucket, her jade white hand was holding a lotus flower, her summer dress was light, she was wearing a light pink half-arm, narrow sleeves pulled up between her elbows, and a thin gold bracelet on her left wrist. Looking up, I could see her inadequate figure, and although her face had not yet grown, she could already see her good appearance. The most special thing is the pair of watery apricot eyes, which make people a little dazzling at a glance.
It was already very surprising that there was a man standing outside, and he looked at himself with such a gaze...... Scanning him up and down, he was dressed very lightly, but not shabby. He has a handsome face and stands in the sun, but he is a person who can shine by himself. She hid back behind the lotus leaf and asked in a coquettish voice: "Who are you, how dare you walk freely in the inner court." β
She hid herself, but wanted to peek at him through the cracks in the leaves. Seeing his shallow eyes, he heard a soft voice: "He Ji, the word Huijing." β
Like a gust of fresh wind, carrying the fragrance of lotus flowers across the heart lake.
Liu Chuyu suddenly, "Ah, I know you." Your father is Dr. Jin Ziguanglu, He Yan! β
"You ask me who I am," he said with a smile, "and who are you?" β
"I ......," she was about to reply, when she saw a maid running over there.
"Princess!" The palace maid ran over, and saw that He Ji was slightly surprised here, and knelt down on the edge of the pond after saluting. "Princess, the slave knows you're in there. The emperor commanded......"
Liu Chuyu didn't want to pay attention to her, but somehow, she was a little bored when she heard it. He simply brushed aside the lotus leaf, scratched out the water chestnut, and said loudly: "I'm here, what are you yelling about, don't let people see jokes." β
The palace maid was a little frightened, "Princess, the slave maid knows her mistake. β
Rowing the bucket to the shore and tying a rope to a stake on the shore, she lifted the hem of her skirt and jumped ashore. The palace maid stepped forward to help her, but she threw it off and walked straight to He Ji, who was still standing on the side.
He looked at him sideways for a long time, but he didn't move, and only asked, "Why does the princess look at Xia Guan like this?" When he saw what she was wearing, he knew that she was a little noble. But I didn't expect it to be so noble. Thirteen or fourteen years old, it is clear that only the emperor's eldest princess is at this age.
She said, "Why, since you know that I am a princess, why don't you salute?" β
He Ji was stunned for a moment, but the next moment he picked up the hem of his clothes and knelt down. "Xiaguan He Ji knocks on Princess Sanyin Sheng'an." Early in the morning, I heard that the princess of Shanyin was the most favored, and now she is tricky and eccentric, and stubborn. Fang looked like a little girl just now, but now it is not different from those rumors.
"How can you even know that I am the princess of San'in?" She took another step closer to him, looked down at him, and said, "I like it very much that you are so smart and so good-looking." Since you have used such a method, don't worry, I will ask your father for you. β
After that, he didn't look at He Ji's expression, and helped the palace maid away.
She has been pampered since she was a child, and the emperor loves this daughter the most, and she is the most powerful woman in the world except for the queen mother. She always spoke in that tone. Many men have always tried to create encounters to get close to her for the sake of glory and wealth, and today He Ji appeared here, and she naturally regarded him as such a person. It's just that today's chance encounter was very popular with her, so she said such a thing.
But her treatment of He Ji like this made him feel humiliated.
A dignified seven-foot man, she actually used the word begging. He Ji felt that the girl who was hidden among the lotus leaves was strangled by her own hands in this understatement, and it seemed that she had never appeared.
There was a place for Princess San'in at the banquet, but she sat next to the emperor. Such treatment is that Liu Chupei, the princess of Linhuai Kangai, who is the same mother as her, does not dare to expect extravagance.
Soon after Liu Chuyu took his seat, He Ji also returned to the banquet. There was supposed to be the most handsome Chu Yuan sitting beside him, but Chu Yuan didn't know where he went, but he wasn't there. So He Ji became the most dazzling and handsome one in it. Sitting among those people, he made people feel like they were standing out from the crowd, as if a beautiful jade had been thrown into gold. Liu Chuyu looked over from this side and felt that he finally understood what gold was priceless and jade was priceless.
The royal family likes to be born with handsome men, even Liu Chuyu is only thirteen years old, and he is no exception. But what really moved her heart was the appearance of him standing on the edge of the lotus pond, smiling and whispering. He asked who he was, but Liu Chuyu felt that he knew. There are always so many sons of the family who deliberately come to approach her, but this person has changed He Ji, she would rather pretend that she doesn't know, and would rather lie to herself that he really met her.
The royal family is always hearty, but at this moment she would rather she have no heart.
If he had known early on that she was the "terrifying" princess of Shanyin in the inner court, He Ji swore that he would never leave the banquet and would definitely stay away from that pond.
"Does Yu'er have a favorite?" The father asked her with a smile, and his voice was not lowered. It's like this to tell these sons of the family, what is a monarch and a minister. They were men, but they were only people chosen at random by his eldest daughter.
Some people feel humiliated, some people are eager to try, but on the bright side, they can only look at each other, and no one dares to say anything.
All they saw was the innocent-looking and lovely girl, who reached out and pulled the broken hair from her ear back, and the smile on her face was cold and disdainful. Her voice was soft and sweet, but every word was very clear: "Back to my father, none of the men here can make Yu'er like it very much." β
Glancing at He Ji, she seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but she changed her words again: "However, He Ji, the son of Doctor Zijin Guanglu, although he is not very elegant, he has a little affection for his daughter. β
The emperor is in a Cheng dΓΉ, and he is willing to rely on Liu Chuyu for everything. Since she said so, she must like He Ji very much. What's more, He Ji has always had the saying that Xiao Chu Yuan, Chu Yuanshang's aunt Nanjun Xian, and He Jishang's niece Princess Shanyin is also a logical thing.
Because of these words, the He family received this supreme glory.
He Ji was given marriage by the emperor, and the princess of Shanyin was not only the princess, but also his concubine.
