The door opened, and a man walked in with a plate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
On the serving plate are a bowl of red date porridge, a bowl of rice, two plates of green vegetables and a plate of pork skin.
"Hungry, aren't you?" Chu Ziyu put down the end plate and asked with concern.
Chen Mengdie lay on the table, buried her head and didn't speak, she didn't want to deal with Chu Ziyu, she couldn't forget what happened last night, as long as she thought about it, she couldn't help but tremble.
Chu Ziyu saw that she looked like he didn't want to answer, and he suddenly surged up angrily, since he was a child, he had never received such a cold reception, this was the first time he cooked for others and served others, and she was so faceless!
"Anyway, you have to eat." Chu Ziyu commanded domineeringly.
Chen Mengdie raised her red and swollen eyes to look at him, and said word by word: "I don't want to see you, you go." ”
Chu Ziyu just looked at her, the wind and clouds were surging in his dark eyes, and the breeze blew in through the window, curling up the long hair of the two.
After a while, Chu Ziyu replied: "What if I don't leave? ”
"Okay, very good," Chen Mengdie raised the corners of her lips and said lightly, "If you don't go, I'll go." ”
Just as she passed by the other party, Chu Ziyu grabbed her wrist and said coldly: "What happened yesterday was not my intention, you don't have to mind." ”
Chen Mengdie's smile deepened when she heard him say this, she pulled out her wrist little by little, stared at his dark eyes and said meaninglessly: "Of course I don't mind, after all, I won't pretend that you will be responsible for me because of this, let alone imagine that you will fall in love with me, I deserve it, and I don't complain about anyone." ”
Holding back tears and sadness, she shook off the other party's hand and walked out with her head held high. She knew that she was just a clown, but she couldn't lose her dignity in front of Chu Ziyu, even if it was humble and pitiful.
It wasn't until she was out of the yard that she quickened her pace and ran in an unknown direction.
The tears kept flowing, she kept wiping, she wanted to run like this, run until she was exhausted, run until she forgot her troubles.
At some point, she ran to a garden, where the fragrance of flowers was permeated and butterflies were flying, Chen Mengdie stopped and quietly looked at the butterflies.
But just as she was going to be in her trance, a sharp voice came from behind her.
"Yo, where did this beggar come from, and dare to go wild in Princess Nianrou's garden?"
Chen Mengdie looked back and saw a horse-faced palace maid and a bewitching purple-clothed woman standing behind her, looking at her with disdain.
"Sister, we're really fated." Chen Zhishui stood in front of Chen Mengdie like a proud peacock, she was wearing beautiful clothes and her hair was meticulously combed, while Chen Mengdie was dressed in old clothes and her hair was scattered, and the contrast between the two was very obvious.
Chen Mengdie straightened her back, looked down at Chen Zhishui slightly, and said coldly: "Do you know what you did yesterday?" ”
Chen Zhishui took a step back quietly, and smiled indifferently: "I know, but my sister is lucky, she was rescued halfway, and I missed another good show." ”
Seeing her gloating, Chen Mengdie didn't say a word, raised her hand and gave her a slap, she used great strength, and five red handprints appeared on Chen Zhishui's face.
"Does it hurt?" Chen Mengdie asked with the corners of her lips raised.
Chen Zhishui covered her face and stared at the other party incredulously, she couldn't believe that Chen Mengdie really dared to beat her.
"You dare to hit me?" Chen Zhishui asked with a scream.
"What would you not dare? I slapped you this time, just to let you remember that I, Chen Mengdie, am not easy to mess with. After Chen Mengdie finished speaking, she ignored the other party's ugly face and walked away.
At this moment, a palace maid led several guards to come over menacingly, it turned out that the horse-faced palace maid saw that the master was bullied, and she didn't know how to do kung fu, so she took advantage of the time just now to move the rescuers.
"You guys, go over and get her for me!" Chen Zhishui shouted.
"Yes!" The armored guards received orders one after another, and lined up to block Chen Mengdie's way.
Chen Mengdie straightened her back, her dark eyes showed a stubbornness, and she looked at everyone coldly: "I am Princess Mengyang, which of you dares to arrest me?" ”
The guards stopped, and their faces were embarrassed, although Princess Mengyang was a down-and-out princess, but it was the blood of the previous king that flowed in her body, not to mention that in broad daylight, they didn't dare to arrest people rashly.
Hearing her say this, Chen Zhishui sneered: "Princess Mengyang is a sinner in Chen Guo, if you don't obey orders, you are shielding criminals, and you should be punished according to the law!" ”
After hearing this, the guards no longer hesitated, and they stepped forward in unison and held down Chen Mengdie's arms like prisoners.
Chen Mengdie almost wanted to resist, but she had no strength in her whole body, so she could only let the other party press and not move.
Chen Zhishui whispered in her ear: "I originally thought that my sister was a fugitive, but I didn't expect my sister to have the courage to come back, since this is the case, then I can't complain about others." ”
Chen Zhishui straightened up, her smiling eyes suddenly turned cold, and she suddenly raised her voice and said, "Take her away for me!" ”
"I think any of you dare?"
Suddenly, a low voice came from the bamboo forest in front of him, and immediately after, a row of personable sons descended from the sky, blocking Chen Zhishui's way.
They were all handsome, but their expressions were cold and terrible.
"Who are you? Dare to block Princess Nianrou's way, is it impatient? The horse-faced palace maid pinched her waist and looked up at them with great effort, and two rays of light shot out of those small eyes, which looked a little funny.
Those handsome sons didn't look at her, but just made a way in unison, and at the end of the road, a man in brocade returned in the wind, his eyes full of evil spirit.
Chen Zhishui squinted her eyes, a pair of peach blossom eyes looked forward to life, and when the brocade-clothed man approached, she saw the identity of the other party clearly, it turned out that he was the famous Chu Shizi, the Chu Shizi who turned a blind eye to her, and the Chu Shizi who was indifferent to her invitation.
Of course Chen Zhishui was very happy to see him again, but she couldn't understand why Chu Shizi came, could it be ...... Chen Zhishui looked at the embarrassed Chen Mengdie, is Chu Shizi here for her?
That's impossible! Chu Shizi can't look down on people like her, so how can she fall in love with Chen Mengdie, who is not as beautiful as her?
Chen Zhishui suppressed his doubts, twisted his waist to meet him, and said with an innocent smile: "My lord, I didn't expect us to be so fateful......
Why, as soon as she was halfway through her words, Chu Ziyu walked straight past her and walked in the direction of Chen Mengdie with firm steps.
Chu Ziyu showed his identity card in front of everyone, and said arrogantly: "I am the son of Chu State, she is my woman, you let her go." ”
"This ......" The guards are in a dilemma again, after all, they can't afford to provoke the prince of Chu State, but they can't help but listen to Princess Nianrou's words, what should they do? They had no idea, so they had to set their eyes on Chen Zhishui for help.
"Can't put it!" Chen Zhishui strode forward, separated between Chen Mengdie and him, she looked up at him, her peach blossom eyes were full of provocation, "This is King Chen's Palace, not your Chu Kingdom, please don't meddle in your affairs." ”
"Oh? Interesting," Chu Ziyu crossed his arms and looked at her condescendingly, "I have no merit as a person, only one point, as long as I am in charge of something, no one can stop it." ”
"Then give it a try." Chen Zhishui did not back down, and the two stood opposite each other, filled with a strong smell of gunpowder between each other.
