37. Chapter XXXVI
Because Zhou Chengwen and his second brother can barely be considered successful in negotiations, they don't have to worry about him going back to the palace to sue their common emperor's father.
When he returned to Jiangfu, he was refreshed, and he sat in the carriage several times to hug Jiang Ling to please her, but he was pushed away by his dear cousin who was very disliked.
Of course, Zhou Chengwen didn't take Jiang Ling's dislike to heart, he is the prince, he is still the Son of Heaven in the future, and the Son of Heaven is righteous, not to mention that he thinks he is not romantic, and he is not nostalgic for the land of fireworks and willow lane, but he is young and frivolous and likes to have fun. Jiang Ling is just a little girl who is less than fourteen years old, and it is inevitable that she will be a little narrow-minded, and when she is older, she will naturally understand these things.
Besides, there is no need to ask her cousin if she is willing to get married, and when her father and emperor come down with a holy decree, they will be very happy.
Zhou Chengwen thought that after all, he and Jiang Ling were cousins with broken bones and tendons, and if he was angry with him today, he would definitely be able to forget about it tomorrow.
Compared with Zhou Chengwen's spring breeze, Jiang Ling was a little depressed. The rumored third prince Zhou Chengzhi has a cold and withdrawn personality and does not like to be approached, but a woman in a green building just knelt down and begged him for a few words, and he actually agreed to take her back to the capital. Could it be that those rumored coldness and loneliness are all fake?
Jiang Ling had always thought that he was special to Zhou Chengzhi before, he even confessed his heart a few days ago, and she secretly thought that this was a special gift from God after she was reborn and came back, so that she could change her fate and that of the common people. It turned out to be just his own wishful thinking.
Boring!
On this day, Jiang Ling was really unhappy, as for why she was so unhappy, she felt that she was worried that Zhou Chengzhi's mind had gone to Xuanyue, and then he was estranged from her, and she wanted to stop his plan to become a tyrant, I am afraid that it would be blocked.
This explanation was so plausible that even she believed it.
So because of this anxiety that worries the world, she can't sleep at night when she lies in bed and tosses and turns.
Bang!
The window lattice made a low sound, Jiang Ling thought it was a wild cat making trouble, and said to himself: "Don't make noise with the stinky wild cat, be careful that I get up and throw you into the pool." ”
"So powerful? Can you throw me into the pool? A familiar voice accompanied by a low chuckle sounded behind Jiang Ling's ears.
She sat up from the bed in fright, and the curtain was lifted by a dark figure in the darkness. If she didn't know who it was, I'm afraid she would have lost most of her seven souls and six spirits by now.
"Brother Chengzhi, how did you get in?"
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled, turned around and lit the candle on the table, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and said jokingly: "What? Ling'er doesn't welcome me? ”
Jiang Ling said in his heart, he had finally accepted the fact that Zhou Chengzhi took a fancy to him, and planned to take this opportunity to sacrifice his ego and protect the world. Unexpectedly, a beauty appeared out of the sky and snatched her position, and her road to saving the common people was in jeopardy.
Now next week, Chengzhi suddenly visited her boudoir at night, although it was the behavior of the disciple, but she couldn't drive him away like before. After all, this rush may have driven him to Xuanyue, and he gradually drifted away from him.
And this distance, maybe her plan to save the tyrant will fail, and a few years later, she will end up with a bad face, and the world will encounter a catastrophe again.
Thinking of herself as a weak woman, she has to take on such a heavy responsibility. Jiang Ling felt that his heart was so tired, it was better not to come back to life, and it was still easy to be a wandering soul quietly.
But now that she has lived, she still has to use her weak body to bear this jack-like courage. So, she pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Of course not, it's just that why did you come here in the middle of the night, it's not good if you are treated as a thief." ”
"What thief? Flower thief? Zhou Chengzhi has lived two lives, has an indifferent personality, and is not a person who likes to laugh, but in the face of the delicate and lovely Jiang Ling, he likes to tease her and look at her red-faced and shy appearance.
Jiang Ling really blushed, and said angrily: "You said you wouldn't bully me." ”
Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "Okay, don't bully you." ”
Jiang Ling looked up at him quietly, and under the flickering of the red candle, his handsome face was like a painting. She pondered for a moment and asked, "What the hell are you doing with me at such a late hour?" ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "I want to see you." ”
Jiang Ling was secretly happy in his heart, it seemed that this guy had not completely empathized with other loves, but the quality of abusive love was indeed a common problem of their royal family. She deliberately said, "Aren't you another Xuanyue girl?" She is beautiful and plays the piano beautifully, what do you want me to do? ”
Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "I knew you were jealous." ”
Jiang Ling subconsciously retorted: "I didn't." ”
She was just afraid that after being estranged from him, her plan to save the common people would be difficult to complete.
Zhou Cheng knew: "You are." ”
Jiang Ling thought to herself that the vanity of a beautiful young man occasionally needed to be properly satisfied, so she said, "Okay, I am." ”
Her tone was perfunctory, but Zhou Chengzhi didn't seem to hear it, but was stunned, and then his face showed ecstasy, and suddenly threw her down on the bed, approached her face and said, "You say it again." ”
Jiang Ling was taken aback by his sudden move, he was only wearing a dirty clothes, and he was pressed under him, where did he care what he said, and quickly pushed him: "You get up!" ”
Zhou Chengzhi didn't move, pressed her and continued: "It's not this sentence. ”
Jiang Ling was stunned before he realized that he wanted to listen to what she said, his lips trembled, and he said, "I'm jealous." ”
The corners of Zhou Chengzhi's mouth curled up and smiled: "I knew that Ling'er also liked me." ”
After speaking, he leaned up and tapped on her lips, and when he wanted to make further movements, he suddenly remembered the charm he had seen in the flower boat last night, although he was young in this life, he knew things in his previous life, and he didn't think that there was any indulgent fun in the affairs of men and women. But when he saw Jiang Ling, who seemed to be shy, he was a little feverish.
He chuckled and kissed her on the forehead again: "Although you are not late this time, you are still too young, I will wait for you to grow up again." ”
Jiang Ling didn't understand his words too much, blinked and asked, "What did you say?" ”
Zhou Chengzhi got up from her: "I said that you are too young, I can't do it if I want to be a flower thief, I will pick it when you grow up." ”
Jiang Ling blushed and snorted, and said, "You yourself are young." ”
is only fifteen years old, which simply makes her, a woman who has been a human in two lifetimes, sprout maternal love.
Zhou Chengzhi looked at her with a wicked smile: "I'm not small at all, you will know in the future." ”
Jiang Ling was not an ignorant girl after all, so she reacted and scolded: "Indecent." ”
Zhou Chengzhi laughed, as if he was extremely happy, but in fact he was really happy. Of course, he had all kinds of means to get her to marry him, but the results of all the means were not as good as her willingness.
He didn't care about her angry scolding, and said with a straight face: "I left Miss Xuanyue behind, just for the sake of my eldest brother." As I get older, I will have a lot of things to do, and I may not always be able to take care of my eldest brother in the future, it just so happens that he likes to listen to Xuanyue play the piano, Xuanyue is smart and gentle, and he must be able to take care of my eldest brother for me. ”
Jiang Ling sat up and said in a strange manner: "You have only met once, and you know that Miss Xuanyue is smart and gentle."
Zhou Cheng knew: "Of course I inquired with someone. ”
Jiang Ling said: "Then you are really concerned." ”
Zhou Chengzhi laughed: "Okay, don't talk about these irrelevant people." In a few days, I will return to Beijing, and the next time we meet, I am afraid that I will have to wait for Uncle Jiang to transfer to Beijing. He leaned up and stretched out his hand to pull Jiang Ling's face, "Don't keep a calm face, smile at me, and leave me a good memory." ”
