Chapter 12 Temptation 2
Lying on the bed and turning to the side, watching the light outside the window getting darker and darker, Liu Zuochen really hoped that no one would disturb ...... tonight, but he was still called to the restaurant by Zhang Kang.
“…… Uh, do I call Liu Shilang or Liu Yuma, or brother-in-law? The third prince saw Liu Zuochen enter the house, turned his face and asked.
glanced at the three princes who were close at hand, so he didn't pay any attention to his cynical statement, and beckoned to Liu Zuochen with a smile, "Cousin, come and sit." ”
"Isn't this a good princess? Are you closer than I am? Then the words, Princess Ruxuan held her chin with her hands and said with a sad face.
Liu Zuochen, who stepped into the room with one foot, suddenly felt like a man's back, and it was not a good feeling to be regarded as the focus, and he was so close to Princess Ruxuan in front of the prince and cousin, and he smiled awkwardly and really wanted to find a crack to drill down.
They are all royal relatives and nobles, and they should have at least a minimum of happiness, but at this time, they are full of sour taste.
"You see, I've neglected this stubble with this pleasure." So her wide-eyed eyes betrayed her inner thoughts, "Cousin, just sit close to Princess Ruxuan." After speaking, he giggled, but in fact, he thought to himself, this Princess Ruxuan is very cautious and eccentric, and she doesn't know what wishful thinking she has in her heart, so she casually glanced at Liu Zuochen, and secretly said When did you two become so acquainted, why didn't you notice it at all.
How could he not know the meaning of his cousin's eyes, Liu Zuochen smiled wryly, and saluted one by one, including Princess Ruxuan, of course. There are still prevarications in Li Ziqin's mansion, lest Princess Ruxuan's identity be fake, and in front of His Royal Highness the prince, she can't prevaricate.
"It's all royal relatives and nobles, so it's out of sight, isn't it? Sit quickly, whoever sits next to each other is also far apart, so a few people still have to lean together? Come here, let's take a good drink of it. ”
His Royal Highness the Third Prince is no stranger to Liu Zuochen, and he has never had the upper hand after a few dealings, and when he arrived, this restaurant also changed hands to Liu Zuochen, and now he sees him again, it is not an exaggeration to say that he has mixed feelings.
In response to such a scene, although Liu Zuochen was not overly restrained, he couldn't show a chic appearance.
"Your Royal Highness, you may have forgotten that the lower officials are not strong enough to drink......
"Cut, how can a manly man show his heroism without drinking some wine? No, I'm going to have a few drinks today anyway! The third prince immediately glared at the boss, comparing and comparing, in addition to his noble status, he was also able to suppress him Liu Zuochen with this ability, how could he give up when he got this opportunity?
"Alright! Zuo Chen also just returned to Kyoto City, and it is better to talk than to be drunk? So he glanced at the third prince angrily, and giggled again, "If you want Zuo Chen to be embarrassed, it depends on whether the princess sister is willing or not, isn't it?" ”
This is obviously something in the words, if Princess Xuan said that the closeness is true, then you have to do something close to let everyone see, right?
"That's it, the third brother is so domineering, so he still takes his sister's feelings to heart?" Princess Ruxuan's ambiguous words are completely noncommittal, not to say that she wants Liu Zuochen to drink, let alone that she doesn't want him to drink, the weird elf blinked her naughty eyes and looked at Liu Zuochen, but it made people see some sweet taste.
Feeling Princess Ruxuan looking at him, Liu Zuochen's face flushed with embarrassment, and he turned around in embarrassment and beckoned: "Wang Ping......, Wang Ping...... Don't want to be hungry yet? This shout came out, and it suddenly made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Being really buzzing in his eardrums by Liu Zuochen's voice, the third prince frowned slightly, "Do you have anything important to do when you enter Kyoto this time?" It looks like it's been two years in the future, right? ”
According to the idea of the third prince, this Liu Zuochen must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and he has not been in Kyoto for several years, presumably there must be something important in his body this time, and he did not have any illusions that Liu Zuochen would answer truthfully, but he had doubts in his heart and did not vomit unpleasantly.
"There's nothing important, and I haven't seen the emperor, I'll talk about it in a few days. It's a little bit ...... the little things."
The prevarication can be understood, and then the emperor's signboard is raised, the third prince will naturally not be so uninteresting and ask important things, smiling slightly, "Small things, you still need to go to Kyoto to deal with them?" ”
Think about it, that is, Liu Zuochen's past incident is a small matter, and what he said is a small thing, and I don't know how big a mess it is!
"As the old saying goes, Gou is new, every day is new, every day is new. Why bother if you have to fight for a good job? Can't you sit down with peace and settle disputes? Princess Ruxuan looked at the third prince with dissatisfaction, and looked at Liu Zuochen with a slow smile, blinking her eyes gently.
Listening to Princess Ruxuan's words, His Royal Highness the Third Prince could also guess a few points, and then looked at each other and muttered secretly in his heart, what you said is light, Li Ziqin's father and son are aggressive, doesn't it make people only have to be obedient?
To say that people's minds are so complicated, no matter what the purpose, most of them are considered from their own understanding or their own desires, which is not surprising, everyone has selfishness, when selfishness and selfishness collide, there will inevitably be contradictions to stimulate, and the grudges and hatreds will be brought out and put on the table, and they all feel that they are wronged and feel innocent, and the contradictions will begin to overflow.
In the case of the three princes, the camp forces that were cultivated with great difficulty disappeared between the emperor's hands, so Li Ziqin used the emperor's prestige to naturally act viciously for the tiger, at this time, His Royal Highness the three princes did not hold a grudge against him, that is a strange thing? But he was quite jealous of the emperor's prestige, so he could only swallow his anger. If Liu Zuochen can have a-for-tat relationship with Li Ziqin, although it is not as comfortable and refreshing as the third prince who took action in person, he will still be very happy in his heart.
So obviously for Princess Ruxuan's words, he also refused to agree, the cause and effect have long been clear in his chest, and he is not optimistic about the hope of a peaceful settlement. It's just whimsical, so he thought about it, smiled at Princess Ruxuan, and didn't say anything, after all, her current identity is more sensitive, and she can't be allowed to express too many opinions.
Seeing that everyone didn't agree with her ideas, Princess Ruxuan was very disappointed, especially disappointed in Her Royal Highness the Third Prince, who was half-brother, and kept saying that she was commensurate with her sister, but at this time she didn't even want to express her approval! She didn't care much about what the princess thought, after all, she and Liu Zuochen were close cousins and brothers, and the relationship was there, not for special reasons, of course she wouldn't follow her.
"You say, you have to see a real chapter to stop?"
Regarding Princess Ruxuan's words, His Royal Highness and the princess could hear that the tone was not good, but they couldn't guess the reason, so they couldn't help but look at Liu Zuochen together.
"In my restaurant, I unscrupulously discounted my Uncle Zhang's legs, and Princess Ruxuan asked me to swallow my anger? If so...... Your friends and family, how do you feel that this is the case? What's more...... this is the result of the extension of the grudge..."
"Strong words! Can he compare to Princess Ben? Is he a close friend? "Princess Ruxuan thinks that he Liu Zuochen is exaggerating, no matter how important a character Zhang Kang is, can he still be worthy of the identity of a dignified princess? What's more, it's still a marriage match from the emperor! What's more, that Zhang Kang is Liu Zuochen's subordinate, which is not comparable at all.
Speaking of Zhang Kang's legs, the third prince realized that it was Liu Zuochen who was looking for Li Gong's bad luck again, and he thought in his heart that he deserved to find him bad luck! I haven't had a long memory of eating deflated under Liu Zuochen's hands several times, and it is so obvious to ride on other people's heads and, with Liu Zuochen's unruly character, will he give up? Hum! Dream your big dreams!
The third prince, who was thinking like this in his heart, smiled slightly, and said in his heart, let's make trouble! The more fierce the trouble, the better! The dog bites the dog, and he is happy to watch a good show.
"Is it funny?" Princess Ruxuan coldly rolled her eyes at His Royal Highness the Third Prince, turned her face to stared at Liu Zuochen and said, "You say, Zhang Kangneng can't compare with this princess?" ”
"Can't!"
Liu Zuochen replied without hesitation, making the three of them stunned for a while, thinking that he would justify and say the reason for the refutation, but he didn't expect to follow Princess Ruxuan's words, and directly "can't", this, it's really a bit of a surprise!
Brine point tofu, one thing drops one thing! Does that seem to make sense?
"Childe, it's time to serve the food." Wang Ping personally walked into the room with the wine and food, looking a little nervous in his heart, and his hands holding the food plate trembled slightly.
Liu Zuochen, who frowned slightly, turned around, "Uncle Wang, why is it so slow, hurry up and urge the master, hurry up and serve it." ”
"Yes, yes, let's go down and urge ......"
Princess Ruxuan watched Wang Ping leave the house in a panic, and she was not puzzled by such a hasty attitude, what was incomprehensible was that Liu Zuochen called him "Uncle Wang", and she had only seen such a title in her life. couldn't help frowning slightly and asked, "Do you call him 'Uncle Wang'?" ”
"Not bad! The people of the General's Mansion who were the same age as my father were called uncles, and those who were the same age as me were called brothers. Liu Zuochen said and looked back at Princess Ruxuan, and said word by word: "So, princess, you can't compare with them." ”
When will the royal princess be on a par with the common people!? This is an unabashed ridicule, this is a merciless slap in the face! Princess Ruxuan was like an enraged lioness, glaring at Liu Zuochen fiercely, raising her hand and throwing the teacup in her hand over.
Tilting his head slightly, the teacup rubbed the root of Liu Zuochen's ear and fell to the ground, a crisp breaking sound sounded, and then the room was full of crows and magpies.
