Chapter 292: Restless
Jiang Mi blushed.
Ever since she knew that Cui Zixuan was the masked man, she had been longing for what she said that day in order to survive, hoping that he would forget.
He didn't mention much about the events at that time when he revealed his true body last night, which made Jiang Mi breathe a sigh of relief. But just when she thought that this level had passed, this guy actually said such things on such an occasion in front of so many people. Although his voice was so soft that most others couldn't hear it, Jiang Mi's face turned black with shame.
Seeing that she dared to stare at herself angrily, Cui Zixuan chuckled, grabbed Jiang Mi's hand, and walked towards the queue where the envoys of Hou Zhou were sitting.
Jiang Mi and the two of them walked away, attracting the attention of many people. These two men are handsome and beautiful, both of them are very eye-catching, coupled with Cui Zixuan's identity, they can't help but guess Jiang Mi's origin again.
Listening to the people next to him, "I'm afraid it's also a woman with five surnames and seven sects." "This woman's elegant bookish aura must be extraordinary", Princess Qingyue's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but sneer: "What is her extraordinary background?"
Princess Qingyue's voice was a little high, and when everyone around her turned their heads to look, Princess Qingyue raised her chin, looked at Jiang Mi with disdain, and said loudly: "She is the daughter of the former Lady Shu Huarui, her biological mother is an adulterous concubine, and she is the illegitimate son of an unknown father. How can such a person have any extraordinary background?"
Princess Qingyue's voice was loud, and many people in the hall heard it. After knowing Jiang Mi's identity, when these people looked at Jiang Mi again, their eyes were different-if it was the daughter of a famous family, it would naturally be admired. But Madame Blossom's daughter is a plaything that can even stretch out her own hands.
However, on such a major occasion, women are never important. Jiang Mi also attracted the attention of these people because of her outstanding appearance, and soon, these people forgot about Jiang Mi aside.
Princess Qingyue's shouting, Jiang Mi didn't hear it. Not long after she sat down next to Cui Zixuan, she immediately understood from the aggressive questioning of those envoys to Emperor Nanping that these envoys had come for a weapon called the bed crossbow.
Side. Cui Zixuan saw Jiang Mi listening carefully. He leaned over to her and whispered, "Ah Mi knows the bed crossbow?"
Jiang Mi turned his head to look at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know about weapons." ”
As a woman, it is common for Jiang Mi not to understand weapons.
Cui Zixuan looked at her with a faint smile for a long time. He asked, "Doesn't Ah Mi understand all weapons?"
All weapons?Jiang Mi was stunned. I can't help but think of the pattern of making a strange knife in my mother's collection.
Cui Zixuan looked at Jiang Mi with a smile. After a moment, he lowered his gaze. After a few more moments, he leaned back lazily. looked at Emperor Nanping, who was forced to turn pale by the envoys of various countries.
The emperor of this mediocre and incompetent small country in front of him actually wanted to marry his useless daughter to him, and tied himself and the Boling Cui clan to his broken car in Nanping through this means...... Thinking of this, Cui Zixuan leaned back slightly and sneered secretly.
After a while, Cui Zixuan looked at Jiang Mi on the side again, and when he saw Jiang Mi lowering his head and muttering something in his mouth, he couldn't help but listen.
Who knows, what Jiang Mi read was "The Analects": "A gentleman has nothing to eat, no place to live, and is sensitive to things and cautious in words, and there is a way and righteousness......"
Cui Zixuan laughed, and couldn't help but interrupt her: "Why is Ah Mi so diligent?
Jiang Mi was also reciting unconsciously, and when she saw him asking, she whispered with a slight face: "I didn't mean it either...... I felt that if I didn't carry these things, I would be cautious. ”
In such troubled times, what's the use of memorizing these sayings? Cui Zixuan really didn't understand the reason for her words, he turned his head to look at Jiang Mi, and smiled for a moment: "Why are you so cautious?"
Jiang Mi couldn't describe it, she tilted her head and thought for a long time, before turning to Cui Zixuan and said innocently: "I just think that you have to study very seriously and seriously, so that you can live a stable life." ”
Seeing Cui Zixuan's eyes looking at her, she suddenly became pity, Jiang Mi hurriedly said: "This is a problem that I developed after my mother's death, in fact, it's not that my life is unstable now, I just don't ...... it."
Listening to this, Cui Zixuan reached out and held her hand.
His big hand warmed Jiang Mi's small hand, and after a while, he whispered, "I don't know...... I thought you were having a good time. ”
"I'm so relaxed. Jiang Mi didn't understand where the tenderness and pity in his eyes came from, and she replied briskly: "I've always been very relaxed...... I just feel like I should work hard, hard because that's how I relax. ”
I don't know why, Cui Zixuan's eyes were a little pantothenic, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Jiang Mi's hair, and secretly thought: Such a peerless beauty should have the best in the world by nature, but her frightened days have passed for too long, and she has taken that kind of uneasiness as the norm, and she doesn't know what real relaxation is like.
In the past, when he was in Shudu, Cui Zixuan saw Jiang Mi being forced by her three mothers to learn this and that all day long, and she always thought that she was tame, but now she knows that she is seeking peace of mind by herself.
It's a pity that this stupid girl doesn't know that in this kind of troubled world, it is useless to read the most books, and this world only believes in force.
The two whispered here, but there was a sudden silence in the hall.
When everyone looked up together, they saw Emperor Nanping standing up, this emperor who was obviously a little anxious, coughed at this time, raised his throat and said: "Now, I announce one thing, from now on, Nanping is the only one who looks forward to Shu!"
What the?
Almost as soon as Emperor Nanping's voice fell, the four suddenly exploded into a sky-high discussion.
Jiang Mi hadn't reacted yet, Cui Zixuan on the side had already sneered and said, "I have long said that King Kang is blind, but I didn't expect him and Qingyue to be stupid and stupid together!"
At this time, Cui Zixuan stood up, and he said lightly to everyone: "Let's go." ”
At this moment, the crowd in the hall was boiling, and some envoys chose to leave immediately after listening to Emperor Nanping's words, so Cui Zixuan took his people to retreat like this, but it didn't attract too many people's attention.
After leaving the main hall, Cui Zixuan's footsteps were fast, several staff members hurriedly caught up, Jiang Mi trotted to follow, and heard several people talking in a low and fast voice:
A staff member, "I didn't expect Emperor Nanping to make such a move, his trick is really poisonous!"
Another staff member, "He also wanted to recruit Gongzi as a son-in-law in the main hall before, and his idea at that time was also to cause trouble." ”
"I've heard it a long time ago that the princes of Shu don't have any brains, but I didn't expect it to be the case. Didn't King Nakang think that as soon as the alliance between him and Nanping was established, wouldn't the envoys of so many countries think that the production map of the bed crossbow had been obtained by the Shu people?"
An old staff member shook his head and said: "Maybe it's not too stupid but too conceited, Shu has been peaceful and peaceful in recent years, and the 400,000 troops raised by Emperor Shu have been recuperating for a long time, maybe this is because Emperor Shu feels that he is already very strong and not afraid of war." ”
"Emperor Shu is not afraid, isn't King Kang afraid? He is not worried that he will not be able to get out of this Jiangling City?"
In a blink of an eye, a staff member said: "Childe is right to choose to leave at this time, if it drags on any longer, then King Kang and Princess Qingyue will definitely ask Childe for help." The water is too muddy, and even if we want to make a move, we have to pick the right time. ”
Several people discussed while walking, and soon came to the square where the carriage was parked, and saw Cui Zixuan and several staff members getting into the same carriage, Jiang Mi knew that they had something to discuss, and hurriedly got into the car behind.
Almost as soon as Jiang Mi got into the car, a group of people walked out of the hall, Jiang Mi looked up and saw that it was Li Wu and his party who were striding towards him.
Seeing those Southern Tang people quickly get into their own carriage, Jiang Mi lowered his eyes. Just as she pulled down the curtain and was about to bow her head, suddenly, Li Wu looked up at her steadily.
Suddenly facing her brother's eyes like this, I don't know if it was Jiang Mi's illusion, she actually saw a kind of care in Li Wu's eyes.
Suddenly, Jiang Mi's eyes were sour, she didn't want Li Wu to look down on herself more and more after seeing her gaffe, so she hurriedly pulled up the car curtain.
With such a song, until the carriage drove out of the palace gate, Jiang Mi was still a little uneasy.
Li Wu has always been the mountain behind Jiang Mi, no matter what difficulties she encountered before, as long as she thought that her brother was still there, she was not afraid of anything. Now, suddenly becoming a stranger with her brother, Jiang Mi knows that if Cui Zixuan hadn't appeared in time, she would have someone to rely on and trust with all her heart, she really didn't know if she would collapse.
For example, when she dreamed back at midnight last night, Jiang Mi was still thinking that it didn't matter if she didn't have her mother and brother, at least Cui Zixuan was still by her side.
Soon, the carriage drove back to Fuzhong.
An hour later, Cui Zixuan asked the staff to leave, and then, he also left the study and walked straight towards Jiang Mi's attic.
When he came to the outside of the attic and saw that the lights inside were dim, Cui Zixuan lowered his voice and asked, "Is she resting?"
Several maidservants saluted him respectfully, and one of them whispered back, "The girl has been resting for half an hour." ”
Cui Zixuan nodded, he waved his hand to let the girls retreat, and walked towards the door and room by himself.
The curtain on the bed hung low, and the beauty's petite body was faint, Cui Zixuan didn't stop until he walked to the bed.
Under the dim light, he quietly looked at the woman who had fallen asleep with his hands in his hands, and did not move for a long time.
At this moment, Jiang Mi in the brocade quilt didn't know what nightmare she had, and she struggled silently, her movement was very peculiar, raising her hands as if she wanted to hug someone, but every time her hand stretched out, it fell into the air.
Cui Zixuan still held his hands, he quietly watched Jiang Mi struggle for a long time, and slowly fell asleep after exhaustion. After a while, Cui Zixuan stepped out.
As soon as he walked out of the attic, Cui Zixuan went straight into the study, he opened a letter, and wrote it quickly after a little hesitation.
After a while, Cui Zixuan sealed the letter, handed it to a guard, and said, "Send this letter back to the clan and let the mother and the patriarch read it together." ”。
"Yes. ”
After waving his hand to let the guard leave, Cui Zixuan looked at the dark night sky outside, and said to himself in a low voice: "Ah Mi is still the princess of Shu after all, and it seems that she has to marry from Shu Kingdom." ”
