Chapter 56: Planning
"Your Royal Highness, the snow in the palm will always melt, the fingertips sand, the tighter the grip, the easier it is to disperse, as the saying goes, daughters are like flowers, but Lord Qiu is not an ordinary daughter, she bears the curse of the four daughters of the Qiu family, exhausted this life, I am afraid that it is to prove that people will win the day, not to mention the snow and sand that can be held in the palm of the hand, you should know better than anyone else in your heart."
Otherwise, how could His Highness later use such a combination of soft and hard, tortuous and roundabout means to get her body.
Lao Zhen walked to his side, also looked at the snow falling in the dark and drowsy sky, sighed lightly, and replied: "Even if that girl is really a flower, I am afraid that it is neither a peony nor a orchid, but a thorn flower in the desert, Gesang on the plateau, Ling Han Aori, if you really want such a girl to be willing to accompany you all the time, only two points, either let you become her unshirkable responsibility, or go into her heart, let her know you, pity you, and love you." ”
"Pity?" When Baili first heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lao Zhen smiled: "You must not underestimate this word of pity, the so-called pity for the person in front of you, tempered and tempered around the fingers, since ancient times, men have loved women because of pity, I don't know how much, but who knows that daughters are softer." ”
"This word pity is the best use in her daughter, if she pities anyone, she will definitely be soft-hearted, and even regard this other party as her unshirkable responsibility, but Lord Qiu seems to be affectionate, but in fact she is ruthless, because she is a woman after all, just pity is just into her eyes, and people who can't be stronger than her have no way to make her respect, and conquer her proud heart."
This is why he asked His Highness to tell Akiba Bai about his past at the beginning, His Royal Highness is extremely proud, and he will never use the past to win anyone's sympathy, not to mention those demons that he hates the most.
And Qiu Yebai's experience over the years and the curse she has carried, she is also proud and stubborn, and even hates the Baili royal family in her heart, she wants to prove that she will never lose to fate, but she also has the softness of her daughter's family, and she will definitely have resonance and soft-heartedness for His Royal Highness's bleak past fate.
If His Royal Highness and her have no intersection, maybe she knows this kind of thing, and she just sighs, but her fate, and even her heart, has been stamped by His Highness fiercely, and the intersection of each other's lives makes it absolutely impossible for her to regard Her Highness as a passerby.
Her Highness was the first man to conquer her in a certain way, even if this kind of conquest seemed a little despicable, she had to accept the good and bad of His Highness, so she would only regard His Highness as a 'predator' and 'invader', and would not face up to her own feelings and His Highness's kindness to her.
"Your Highness, you need a ferry to prop your boat into her heart, in fact, even if the old slave doesn't say anything, you have done a good job these days, you just need to continue." Lao Zhen smiled and bent his eyes.
His little ancestor has always been extremely smart, otherwise how could he survive in the underground palace, and to this day, although the little ancestor is extremely proud, but the keen cunning of the beast in his nature makes him instinctively adopt this soft attitude, so that the target prey is at a loss, and he can't feel the signs, what the predator in front of him wants to do.
However, whether it is the posture of a mourning soldier or the attitude of toughness, in the end, if you catch the prey with gorgeous fur, if you want to eat meat, you have to do whatever it takes.
Either Caesar or nothing.
"Or are you going to continue to pave the way for her?" Lao Zhen saw that Baili Chu was just quietly looking at the clouds in the sky, but he didn't speak, so he looked at him tentatively.
His Royal Highness has let the Du family save for so many years, and this time I don't want to continue to hang the Du family so desperately, and I plan to understand their words, and Autumn Leaf White is a good opportunity.
Autumn leaf white, this girl, if she knew that the original source of the fate of this 'divine prostitute' she was carrying was the Du family, she would definitely spare no effort to pry over the Du family without the master's words.
Bai Li Chu looked at the snow in his palm silently, without saying a word, after a long time, he quietly let go of his hand, let the remaining remnant snow in his palm fall into the snow, and then, he took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand carefully, and then said lightly: "Lao Zhen, you know a lot, Ming'er went to let the inner attendant check to see if it was clean." ”
After that, he threw the handkerchief in his hand directly into Lao Zhen's arms, and then put his hands into his sleeves and walked towards the lower room.
The two crane guards who were waiting on the side immediately reached out to help their master open the curtain.
Lao Zhen didn't react for a while, what did he know, what did it have to do with not being clean?
At this time, Yibai on the side came over with a strange face, looked Lao Zhen up and down, and then leaned over and lowered his voice, "I said Father-in-law Zhen, did you unsign the female benefactors when you were the host outside, and went to the boudoir, how many women worship under your six roots, so as to understand women's hearts like this?" ”、
Lao Zhen touched his face and said proudly: "It's not that our family said it, our family was also the most beautiful host of the well-known party back then...... Yes...... Bah! ”
After he said half of it, he realized that Yibai was not right, and immediately changed his face, and raised his hand angrily to stuff the dust in his hand into Yibai's mouth, pointing at the tip of his nose and scolding: "You kid is a six-root impure bastard boy, dare to play with our family, do you also want to be clean, so as to better accompany His Highness around, huh?" ”
Yibai thought that Lao Zhen's face suddenly changed, and his mouth was full of hair all of a sudden, but when he saw Lao Zhen leaning over and saying the terrible words, his feminine handsome face immediately turned green, and while spitting out his hair, he hurriedly said: "No, don't bother you!" ”
After that, he quickly turned his head and followed his master into the next room, for fear that Lao Zhen would take out a gelding knife and give him six clean geldings.
"Phew, they are all unconscious little rabbit cubs, one is thin-skinned, the other is timid, and they are not as good as an old eunuch in our family." Lao Zhen sneered, looked up at the snowy dark sky, then patted his dust, shook his head and walked out.
Well, in this weather, you still have to drink a pot of old carved wine heated on a small stove.
……
After Qiu Yebai and Ning Chun came back from the fifth aunt, before she entered the room, she looked at the room, and saw that the faint yellow candle flame reflected a slender figure on the window paper, the silhouette was unusually elegant, she looked at it quietly for a while, until the candlelight went out, and the room was dark, she sighed lightly with a somewhat complicated expression, and turned around and entered the room.
After a while, the lights went out in the master room.
"Your Highness, Lord Qiu has already turned off the lights, so he must have slept." Yibai came in from outside the door and reported respectfully.
In the dark inner room, a little faint light slowly brightened, and as the pearl of the night was fully revealed, the room also lit up.
The soft light of Mingzhu shone on the face and body of the person at the window table, outlining his delicate face and the slender lines of his body extremely softly, but the only eyes were so deep that it seemed that no amount of bright light could illuminate the darkness inside.
He said lightly: "Well, just take the secret fold." ”
As soon as Yibai heard it, he understood, and the master was only afraid that he knew that Qiu Yebai was standing outside the door and looking at his room in a daze, and wanted her to enter the house early to rest, so he turned off the lights.
Looking at the bed that has been replaced with a gorgeous brocade quilt and re-cleaned up, I know that my master still won't deign to sleep here, and tonight I guess it's sitting on a stool and criticizing the night's recital.
He shook his head, sighed, turned and went out, and ordered all the folds to be brought in from outside.
……
This night, the sky was full of snow, and the snow was getting bigger and bigger, covering everything in the world, covering a small courtyard, and maybe also hiding the melancholy of the two compartments.
……*……*……*……*……*……*……
The snow is too late in spring,
Therefore, the garden tree is a flying flower"
After two days of heavy snowfall, the courtyard branches, which were still a little green, are now white, hanging with thin crystal clear ice edges.
"Today's light snow looks like heavy snow, and it really makes people worry about this year's harvest, and I don't know what happened to the cold wave in Jiangnan." Baili Lingfeng stood in the pavilion and looked at the ice and snow, and sighed lightly.
The little eunuch holding an oil-paper umbrella muttered: "Eighth master, don't worry about the country and the people, now that you are so easy to let it out, your legs and feet are easy to get better, but you inexplicably bumped into this disaster of assassinating His Royal Highness the Regent, or hurry up and think of taking us out." ”
The eighth master is also unlucky, his identity is sensitive, and now he is released, and he bumped into that assassination again, and fortunately jumped into the lake at the moment when the assassin's thunder bomb exploded to escape, and was placed under house arrest in Qiu's house by His Royal Highness Regent in the name of investigating the case.
This is bad luck, since he met that autumn admiral, the lord has begun to be unlucky, and when the suspicion of assassinating His Royal Highness the regent is cleared, he must burn grapefruit leaves for the lord to get bad luck!
Baili Lingfeng frowned slightly: "Xiao Mingzi, all the people can rely on is the blessing of this country's mansion, and this hall is already a human being, so naturally they must be able to give them the blessing they can, how can they only care about the front because of their own small losses?" ”
"What a Eighth Highness who worries about the country and the people, what you say sounds a bit overstepping, what's the matter, do you plan to worry about the country for the Holy One?" A smile sounded like a smile.
When Xiao Mingzi heard this, he turned his face to look at the slender figure, and he didn't know when he was standing not far behind them, and his hair was about to stand up in an instant, and he glared at the man angrily: "Admiral Qiu, you can eat food indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, Your Royal Highness is a kind heart!" ”
Qiu Yebai walked up the steps of the small pavilion wearing a white fox fur cloak, ignoring the fact that he looked at Baili Lingfeng and smiled slightly: "Your Highness, I haven't seen you for two days, you are still so energetic." ”
Baili Lingfeng looked at her, her eyes flashed with a hint of ghostly light, and the corners of her lips hooked: "Yes, Lord Qiu's complexion is just right, why, His Royal Highness Regent is blushing in his arms, is it you who are uncomfortable with her, or is she uncomfortable with you, so that you have time to visit this down-and-out person in this palace in the ice and snow?" ”
