44. Chapter 43
Jiang Ling didn't know why he was like this. Obviously, she wanted to refuse at first, but she hesitated, he took it step by step, and unconsciously, the relationship between her and Zhou Chengzhi became the current unclear situation. If she is hypocritical, she only seems to want to refuse and welcome.
Most importantly, it seems to feel pretty good. Isn't it to live a new life to make one's life happier? Why bother thinking too much, as for changing what happened in her previous life, the culprit fell into her hands, and what else is terrible.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ling was still a little proud.
After sending Jiang Ling back to the room, Zhou Chengzhi begged for nothing again, stayed in her room for a long time, and knew that she was asleep, so he left quietly.
The next morning, Jiang Ling had just gotten up and finished freshening up, when he heard the maid's report that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived.
Zhou Chengwen seemed to be a little guilty, and pulled Jiang Ling and said, "Ling'er, were you upset by Changle's girl last night?" ”
Jiang Ling made an ignorant look: "Why are you unhappy?" How is the county lord of Changle, how is she? Are you still angry? ”
Zhou Chengwen shook his head: "Changle, her temper comes and goes quickly, and she is not angry for a long time." It's still our Ling'er who is the best, gentle and knowledgeable, this is what the future master of the harem should look like. ”
Jiang Ling snorted: "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about?" If this word gets out, what family will dare to marry me in the future? ”
Zhou Chengwen said: "It is to spread it out, so that those children of the family who covet you know that you are the one who married into the palace as the crown princess, and died early." ”
Jiang Ling didn't want to continue to entangle with him on this topic, so he asked with a smile: "Does my cousin have any arrangements for today?" ”
Zhou Chengwen said: "Now is the season of flowers, the flowers and plants on the mountain are luxuriant, how about I take you to the back mountain?" ”
Jiang Ling said indifferently: "Okay." ”
After breakfast, Zhou Chengwen sent off the maid and the guards, and prepared to go to the back mountain alone with Jiang Ling. Unexpectedly, as soon as they went out, a large number of people appeared noisily, and it was Zhou Chengzhi who knew them.
The county lord of Changle, who was wearing a strong suit, ran over happily and grabbed Zhou Chengwen's arm: "Brother Prince, are you going up the mountain?" Brother Chengru and I are also going, and Brother Chengzhi is also going. A few of us happen to be together. ”
Zhou Chengwen looked pale and removed the hand he was holding: "Why did you get up so early?" ”
Changle said: "I want to play with the prince's brother, so I got up." After speaking, he touched the hairpin on his head, "Yesterday Changle lost his temper and cut his hair some, but fortunately there is a hairpin from your brother." Do you like it or not? ”
The corners of Zhou Chengwen's lips trembled, and he nodded expressionlessly: "It's good-looking." After saying that, he pulled Jiang Ling up: "Cousin, let's go." ”
Seeing this, Zhou Changle snorted, stepped forward to grab him, and glared at Jiang Ling fiercely.
Jiang Ling acted as if he didn't see it, broke away from Zhou Chengwen's hand without a trace, retreated a little behind, and said, "Cousin, I see that there is some humidity on the road, you lead the way in front, I'm afraid of falling, just follow you." ”
Changle turned his head and said in a weird manner: "You girls who grew up in Jiangnan are squeamish, how can they be like the women who grew up in our capital, riding and shooting over the mountains, and doing everything." ”
Jiang Ling smiled: "The county lord is a heroine among women, Jiang Ling admires it." ”
Zhou Chengzhi, who was walking behind, chuckled in a sullen voice.
When Zhou Chengwen heard this laughter, he turned around and saw that Jiang Ling was only one step away from him, his face was displeased, and he reached out to pull her forward. However, this time he hadn't touched her yet, and he had been blocked by Zhou Chengru, who jumped up from behind, and said, "Second brother, Ling'er is ...... It's ......"
Before he could say the next words, he was interrupted by Zhou Chengzhi: "Big brother! ”
Zhou Chengru seemed to think of something, quickly covered his mouth, and said angrily from between his fingers: "Ling'er walks behind, so as not to fall." ”
As he said this, the person walked in front of Jiang Ling and used his tall body to block Zhou Chengwen.
Zhou Chengwen snorted, and it was not easy to deal with him, so he turned around and stepped forward angrily. The lord of Changle County was overjoyed, and hurriedly followed and stuck to his side.
Xuan Yue also stepped forward slightly, smiled gently at Jiang Ling, and followed Zhou Chengru step by step.
In this way, among the group, Jiang Ling and Zhou Chengzhi walked at the back.
Jiang Ling squinted at him and looked at him quietly, facing the eyes that he looked at with him hooking the corners of his lips as if he was smiling, and his subordinates quietly reached over to hold her hand and groped it a few times.
It was the hand that was pulled by Zhou Chengwen.
Jiang Ling glared at him, and he glared back. The four people who were walking in front of them, if they turned back, they could see the silent and charming undercurrent behind them.
With the county lord of Changle pestering Zhou Chengwen, Jiang Ling was completely relieved, but he was able to enjoy the beautiful scenery in the mountains in this summer.
A few people walked to the mountainside, and the county lord of Changle, who was walking in front, suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Chengwen asked nervously.
Zhou Changle's little face was wrinkled, as if he was in pain: "My foot is here, it hurts." ”
Zhou Chengwen was busy bending over to check the situation, rubbed her again, and said, "Then let's rest for a while before leaving." ”
Zhou Changle really called out very much, as if he was very strict.
Xuan Yue took a step forward and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the slave maid sees that the county lord is in a terrible pain, otherwise send her down the mountain to take medicine first, if it is strict, it will not be good to delay." ”
Zhou Chengwen frowned, and knew to Zhou Cheng: "Third brother, you and the eldest brother carry Changle down the mountain." ”
Zhou Chengzhi didn't answer yet, but Zhou Changle didn't do it, and tears rolled down: "Doesn't the prince's brother care about me?" I'm all hurt, do I want to stay in the mountains with your beloved cousin? ”
Zhou Chengwen's brows furrowed even more, and when he saw her crying, he hurriedly raised his sleeves and wiped her: "Okay, okay, can't I carry you down the mountain?" ”
Zhou Changle burst into tears and laughed proudly, and raised the corners of his mouth provocatively at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling turned a blind eye.
The county lord of Changle is only fifteen years old, and Zhou Chengwen is about to turn eighteen, and he is a person who practices martial arts, so it is not a matter of carrying her. Zhou Changle lay behind him, wrapped his hands around her neck, leaned on his shoulder affectionately, the smile on his face was even worse, where was the pain of broken feet.
In fact, Jiang Ling is really familiar with Zhou Changle's little tricks, after Zhou Chengwen married her in the last life, in those days in the imperial palace, she also used all kinds of careful thinking to compete with her for favor. She thought she was a generous and sensible princess at the time, so she turned these big things into small things, and Zhou Changle punched like hitting cotton.
Now, Jiang Ling didn't even bother to make that ball of cotton.
Zhou Chengwen originally planned to cultivate more feelings with his cousin and add weight to his marriage, but Zhou Changle made such a fuss that he could only soak in the soup.
He is still unwilling in the end, especially Zhou Chengzhi is still here, although he did not express any thoughts about Jiang Ling, but in the end, he is a brother, his thoughts, Zhou Chengwen could not understand it very well. And if he doesn't show it, what he wants to say will appear vexatious.
Zhou Chengwen looked at Zhou Chengzhi, who was light and breezy, and then looked at Jiang Ling, who was calm and calm, and said, "Ling'er, you go down the mountain with me, I will hand over Changle to the doctor for medicine, and I will bring you up again." ”
Jiang Ling raised his forehead and sighed: "Cousin, aren't you joking?" How can I be a weak woman compared to you, I finally went up to the middle of the mountain, you want me to go down with you, where will I have the strength to come up, don't embarrass me. Anyway, the eldest prince and Sister Xuanyue are here, so I'll go around with them, and I'll just go down the mountain with them when the time comes. Hurry up and go to the doctor behind the county lord's back, it's not a trivial matter to break your foot, don't delay. ”
Zhou Changle sighed: "Cousin, my feet are getting more and more painful." ”
Hearing her say this, Zhou Chengwen didn't dare to delay any longer, and went down the mountain with people on his back.
When people walked away, Xuan Yue pursed her lips and smiled at Zhou Chengzhi and said: "Your Highness, the eldest prince likes the small waterfall in front of him the most, I will take her to see it, and I won't follow you and Miss Jiang." ”
Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Look at Big Brother, the water in the mountains is cold, don't let him play in the water too much." ”
Xuan Yue curtsied and hummed, Zhou Chengru had already run first, and she hurriedly followed.
Zhou Chengzhi shook his head.
Jiang Ling looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance: "Miss Xuanyue looks good in the palace. ”
Zhou Cheng knew: "She is the eldest brother's maid, and the eldest brother likes her very much." Although the palace is not free, I don't know how much better it is than being a dusty woman. ”
Jiang Ling said with a smile: "But she is both beautiful and artistic, it is really a pity to be a maid." ”
Zhou Chengzhi nodded thoughtfully: "It's really a pity." ”
Jiang Ling glanced at him, and said in a strange manner: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, is this going to arrange a seat for her with you?" ”
In fact, Xuanyue in the previous life was his person.
Zhou Chengzhi snorted and flicked on her forehead: "What nonsense." If I have thoughts about Xuanyue, and let her be a maid for so long? ”
Jiang Ling smiled: "Who knows!" ”
Zhou Chengzhi pretended to glared at her with a cold face: "Let's go, there are a lot of beautiful scenery in this mountain, I'll take you around." ”
In the end, it is the territory of the royal family, and there are indeed a lot of beautiful scenery in the mountains. Jiang Ling was dragged all the way by Zhou Chengzhi, and all kinds of rare flowers and plants were overwhelmed.
Unconsciously sweaty, tired and panting slightly.
Zhou Chengzhi saw her like this, and he couldn't bear to go any longer, and was about to pull her to rest in place, when the blue sky above her head suddenly overwhelmed with dark clouds, and within a moment, it actually rained heavily.
Zhou Chengzhi was familiar with this mountain, so he pulled Jiang Ling and ran, but when the two of them ran to the nearest cave, they were still drenched.
Although it is a hot summer, the mountains are cool all year round. Jiang Ling came to the capital and had a serious illness, and now his body is still a little delicate, and when he entered the cave, he sneezed a few times.
Zhou Chengzhi pulled her inside, pointing to a steaming hot spring in front of her: "You take off your clothes and soak in them, and I'll make a fire to dry your clothes." ”
Jiang Ling thought that he had misheard, and looked at him with wide eyes.
Zhou Chengzhi glared at her: "Don't worry, I won't look at you?" ”
Jiang Ling thought about his behavior of breaking into someone's boudoir in the middle of the night, but he didn't believe it, and covered his chest and shirt in a particularly shocking way.
Zhou Chengzhi was stimulated by her action, and said viciously: "Who wants to see your bean sprouts?" ”
Jiang Ling touched his chest quietly, and he was really a little cold. At this time, she was shivering, and she had to wait until the rain stopped going down, and it was estimated that it was another serious illness, so she gritted her teeth and said, "Anyway, you are not allowed to look." ”
Zhou Chengzhi sneered: "Who said it's rare to watch!" Hurry up. ”
Jiang Ling hesitated to walk to the edge of the hot spring pool, and after getting into the water, he sat in the pool to look aside, Zhou Chengzhi, who was lighting a fire with his back to her, really like a righteous gentleman who had no distractions.
She quickly undressed herself and threw it next to him.
Zhou Chengzhi picked up the wet clothes, hung them on a wooden branch, put them next to the lit fire, and said unhurriedly: "What about the inside?" ”
"Li...... You don't need to use it inside" Jiang Ling hesitated, throwing her belly pocket and pants into a man, she really couldn't do it.
"It's not dry inside, and it's not baked outside. What are you twisting? Sooner or later, it's my people, and there's no one else here, hurry up and throw it over! ”
Jiang Ling pouted, and had to throw the only remaining clothes to him again.
Zhou Chengzhi deliberately lifted her clothes high and sighed twice.
"Zhou Chengzhi!" Jiang Ling blushed and drank lightly.
Zhou Chengzhi smiled and raised his eyebrows, and after hanging up his clothes, he also took off his wet clothes and hung them by the fire. When Jiang Ling exposed his lean body, he immediately turned his back.
However, after a while, the hot spring pool suddenly sounded with the sound of stirring water. Jiang Ling subconsciously turned around, but saw Zhou Chengzhi wearing only a pair of obscene pants naked, and also went into the water.
Jiang Ling shouted in fright: "What are you doing? Didn't you say you wouldn't look at me? ”
Zhou Chengzhi looked down at the pool water and smiled suspiciously: "I didn't look at you, it's just a little cold, and I'm also bubbled." ”
Jiang Ling said: "You are a man who has been in the barracks, what is so cold, hurry up!" ”
"I don't!" As he spoke, he approached Jiang Ling step by step in the water.
Jiang Ling didn't have an inch on his body, and when he saw him approaching, he was really frightened, and he hugged his arms and shouted: "Don't come here!" ”
Zhou Chengzhi laughed: "So afraid? ”
Jiang Ling didn't dare to come with him, so he had to say in a trembling voice: "Brother Chengzhi, don't be joking, okay?" I was so scared that my stomach hurt. ”
Zhou Chengzhi lowered his head and washed his face with water, picked up a handful of water, and sprinkled it on her head: "Look at your appearance!" ”
Jiang Ling really didn't mean to lie, she was frightened by this, her stomach suddenly ached, and the pain still had a sense of familiarity that had not been seen for a long time. She nervously felt the changes beneath her, and within a moment, a hint of red appeared on the pool in front of her.
Zhou Chengzhi's eyes were sharp, and he also saw the unusual color, and his expression changed greatly: "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?" Where it hurts! ”
Seeing that he was about to run over, Jiang Ling broke down and shouted, "Don't come here!" I...... I ......"
Zhou Chengzhi heard that her voice was wrong, so he could only stop.
Jiang Ling's little face was flushed, and he bit his lip for a long time before he whispered: "I'm here!" ”
Zhou Chengzhi didn't seem to react, and only after half a sound did he say: "Scared out by me?" ”
Jiang Ling shouted angrily: "You go away!" ”
Zhou Chengzhi hurriedly climbed onto the hot spring pool.
