Chapter 47: Temptation
After listening to the words of the eighth princess, Xia Yingjiu only felt that his whole body was beaten. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This kind of because you and I are the same age, so it is enough to be a good sister and put it on others, but if it is to be put on the body of the eighth princess, Xia Yingjiu can't believe it.
What about the same age, not to mention the entire Qingzhu, just in terms of the court, there are too many young ladies of the same age as the eighth princess, and there were a lot of them at the banquet yesterday, why didn't I see the eighth princess call them to talk.
At first, I didn't think there was anything, but after hearing this, Xia Yingjiu secretly paid attention to it, and became more and more unpredictable about her intentions.
"That's naturally the honor of winning nine." Xia Yingjiu smiled, and with the intention of saying a lot of mistakes, he continued to say according to the words of the eighth princess.
"Don't be so inhibited." The eighth princess waved her hand, then picked up the teapot on the table, poured a cup for Xia Yingjiu with her own hands, and said, "Miss Xia, taste it, this is the treasure of Tianzhen Building's tea, even in the palace can rarely drink it." ”
Xia Yingjiu hurriedly took the teacup, which was really a little shocked: "How can you bother the eighth princess to pour tea herself." ”
Hearing her say this, the eighth princess smiled bitterly, and then put down the teapot: "I'm afraid that the people of the world think that I have the favor of my father in the palace, and even the harem concubines let me have three points and enjoy all the glory and wealth?" ”
Xia Yingjiu listened, but lowered his head and did not answer.
According to the facts, this is indeed the case, but judging from the expression of the eighth princess, there seems to be a hidden emotion in it, but Xia Yingjiu has no intention of asking, let alone a trace of curiosity, she still knows some measure, when it comes to royal matters, there must be no simple matter.
Seeing her reaction, a trace of deep meaning flashed in the eyes of the eighth princess, and then returned to normal: "I heard that Miss Xia is from Zhizhou City?" ”
"Exactly, the ancestor is a person from Zhizhou, and after his grandfather withdrew from the court, he went back." Xia Yingjiu took a sip of tea, the fragrance of the tea was crisp, Rao is a person like her who doesn't understand tea, she has to say that it is really good tea.
"In my early years, I also went to Zhizhou Cheng with my father, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, although it is not a place where businessmen gather, but the scenery is beautiful, and it is a good place to cultivate."
"That's what the princess said."
The two chatted for a long time, and it looked like the conversation was hot, so let's talk about it in detail. It should be the eighth princess who has been talking for a long time, and Xia Yingjiu has all responded to them one by one, talking about some irrelevant topics, from the ancestral home to the beautiful scenery of Qingzhu, from the usual preferences to the favorite food.
The eighth princess really looked like she was just looking for Xia Yingjiu to talk.
But Xia Yingjiu always had a strange feeling in her heart, and she didn't know if it was her delusion, she always felt that the eighth princess was like a topic to lead a certain place, but she didn't hear which one it was, so she had to respond to the right sentence without a word, but her mind didn't dare to relax at all.
To say that she still didn't understand her father before, tomorrow grandpa will have such a status in the court, even if he has a little career heart, it will not be like now, only hanging an eight-grade limited position in the city, at least he has to run an errand in the imperial city.
She didn't envy the life of fine clothes and food, but she just felt that such a small errand was wasting her father's talent.
Now that she has talked to the eighth princess, she knows what physical and mental exhaustion is.
Not only listen carefully to what the other party said, but also pay attention to whether there is any deep meaning in her words, and consider and consider before answering every time, for fear that if you answer the wrong word, you can't help but provoke the other party and bury yourself in the pit.
It's really bothering, but I don't dare to say anything, so I have to respond.
"By the way, you were supposed to marry Li Er Gongzi soon, but for some reason, my father changed his mind again, which made you and Li Gongzi miserable." The eighth princess said regretfully.
"The emperor must have his reasons for such an arrangement, and the holy order cannot be violated, so it's fine." Xia Yingjiu's answer can be described as leaky.
"Speaking of which, my father has obviously agreed, but who knows that the third emperor brother just said something that I don't know what it means, which made my father change his mind, and he doesn't know what the 'destined person' is, but I have never heard of it before." Although the eighth princess said that she was complaining, she had a little coquettishness, and it sounded like she was just saying it casually.
Xia Yingjiu heard something else, it seems that the eighth princess also came to inquire about the "person of fate".
So she shook her head: "Last night was the first time I heard about it. ”
"Oh? You don't know either? The eighth princess asked softly.
"The folk girl didn't dare to hide it, she was puzzled when she heard about it yesterday, she had never heard of it before, and asked the princess to find out." Xia Yingjiu lowered his head and was about to kneel.
"What are you doing, I'm just asking, look at you." The eighth princess held her arm, but she still didn't let her kneel down, and her words seemed to be a big fuss.
Xia Yingjiu's heart was slightly cold, but his face was silent, so he stood up and sat down again, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, as if nothing had happened to Fang Cai.
"In this way, it's all my fault that the third emperor brother is too talkative, I'm here to accompany you for him." The eighth princess smiled, held the teacup, and wanted to drink it in one gulp.
Seeing through her thoughts, Xia Yingjiu calmed down, no matter from what point of view, this matter should not come out of her mouth, Eleven had already reminded her that only emperors have ever known about this matter, and for the sake of her own life, she has to know nothing.
Second, the temptation of the eighth princess to turn over also made Xia Yingjiu a little bored, she is a direct character, let her think of a snake like others, it is really not her strength, yes, even if she can say it, she is unwilling.
"Don't dare, I'm afraid the third prince also has his own intentions, and the people don't dare to speculate."
"Miss Xia, have you ever seen the Third Emperor Brother before?" The eighth princess asked suddenly.
Xia Yingjiu raised her head and looked at her, and there was a smile on the face of the eighth princess, as if she was just asking a random question and chatting, but she always felt that she seemed to have other deep meanings, so she couldn't help but cheer up the spirit.
Her face was surprised: "I've been in Zhizhou City with my father before, and I haven't even been to the Imperial City much, and I saw it for the first time last night." ”
"Yes, I thought that the Third Emperor Brother had taken a fancy to Miss Xia, and he didn't want you to marry that Li Gongzi, so he said it." The eighth princess smiled, as if she was just joking, and then tilted her head, "If Miss Xia is my third imperial sister-in-law, it would be good." ”
