27. Chapter XXVI

Jiang Ling got out of the quilt and stood on the ground, gently raised Zhou Chengzhi's hand and looked at it. Although it had begun to scab over, the wound was still a shocking red.

She shook her head and said in her heart, this guy is not old, but his temper is really not small, according to his temperament, I am afraid that he will really go astray by accident.

Zhou Chengzhi saw her staring at her hands, sighing and sighing, hooked his lips and smiled: "What? Does Ling'er feel sorry for me? โ€œ

Jiang Ling raised his eyes and glared at him with disgust, and shook his hand away: "Who feels sorry for you?" If you want to get angry and beat me, make yourself like this, if your father knows that it's because of me, I don't know what it will become. โ€œ

Zhou Chengru, who was on the side, hurriedly bent down and blew twice on the back of his injured hand: "Big brother is distressed and worried." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi smiled softly and touched his eldest brother's head: "Big brother went to ask Chaiyun to bring the medicine, okay?" โ€œ

Zhou Chengru nodded hurriedly: "Okay, big brother went to find Chaiyun, and it won't hurt if you rub the medicine." โ€œ

When Zhou Chengru ran out of the door, Zhou Chengzhi looked at Jiang Ling's face again, looked at her and said with a smile: "Then why don't you beat my second brother when he kisses you, I will do it to me as soon as I touch you." โ€œ

Although Jiang Ling has been a human being in two lives, he is a girl's family in the end, and when he heard him talk about this, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed and angry, and said, "You still say!" One or two of you are bullying me! โ€

Zhou Chengzhi smiled: "Okay, then I won't bully you in the future." He said, "Don't let my second brother bully you." โ€

Jiang Ling looked up at him, his expression slightly complicated.

Zhou Chengzhi was a little straight, and his eyes were burning and he looked at her: "You also heard what my second brother said yesterday, do you know that the queen intends to marry you to him?" โ€œ

Jiang Ling's face stiffened slightly, and he nodded: "I've heard him say it, but I think the second brother is just joking." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled: "The emperor's selection of a concubine for the crown prince has been put on the agenda, do you really think what my second brother said is a joke?" โ€œ

Jiang Ling looked away from him and said insincerely: "Marriage matters are all the words of the matchmaker for the parents' orders, where is my turn to worry about." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows: "Really?" So are you willing to marry my second brother and be the crown princess? Saying that, without waiting for Jiang Ling to answer, he continued, "Also, if you become the crown princess, you will be the queen in the future, and the mother will be the world." What woman in the world doesn't want to? โ€œ

Jiang Ling smiled faintly: "Although the marriage is the order of my parents, since Brother Chengzhi asked, I can also tell you my thoughts, I don't want to." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi's eyes flickered slightly when he heard her say this, but before he could speak, Jiang Ling said again, "Although marrying the crown prince has endless glory and wealth, a person only has one mouth, and he can only wear one clothes at a time, and if he has more jewelry, it is just a shackle of pearls and jade." And in the deep palace, I think my brother knows better than me, where is the freedom of ordinary people. So for myself, I don't want to be a princess or queen at all, and even all the royal relatives and nobles don't want to. If I really want to get married, I just want to marry you, a man with an ordinary net worth, a couple for the rest of his life, and live a plain and stable life. โ€œ

Jiang Ling actually wanted to sue him, not only did she not want to marry the prince, but she also didn't want to marry him.

Zhou Chengzhi chuckled lightly and said disapprerovingly: "Ling'er is too simple to think, although Uncle Jiang is only in the third rank now, but after all, he is an uncle of the country, and it is only a matter of time before he is transferred back to Beijing and promoted." Even if Ling Er doesn't marry the prince, the people who come to the door to say goodbye in the future will definitely be either rich or expensive, and wanting to marry an ordinary family is just a fool's dream. โ€œ

Jiang Ling smiled: "Tell me that my brother is not good, after all, it is not my decision to make the marriage matter." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi smiled and looked at her meaninglessly, Jiang Ling was seen as weak-hearted, but fortunately, Zhou Chengru ran in at the right time: "Worry, worry, the medicine is here." โ€˜

He stood still beside Zhou Chengzhi, clumsily grabbed his hand, and the medicine in Jiang's hand almost fell all in one go. Zhou Chengzhi hissed a breath of cold air.

Seeing this, Jiang Ling hurriedly took the medicine bottle in Zhou Chengru's hand: "The eldest prince, I'll help Brother Chengzhi wipe it." โ€œ

Zhou Chengru heard his younger brother's inhalation and exhaled at him: "It's not painful to worry." โ€œ

Jiang Ling looked at Zhou Chengru with a smile, then looked up at Zhou Chengzhi again, and said with a smile while giving him medicine: "It turns out that Brother Chengzhi and the eldest prince have such a good relationship. โ€œ

Zhou Cheng knew: "In the entire palace, except for the Queen Mother, only the eldest brother is good to me." But we are much older and don't spend much time together. He had an accident the year before last, and when he was in the limelight, the tree fell and scattered. His mother died young, and I was afraid that he would be bullied, so I took care of him all the time. He smiled a little helplessly, "I wanted to visit Yangzhou again for a long time, but I can only delay it until now." โ€œ

Zhou Chengru didn't seem to understand his words, and blinked his eyes and looked at Jiang Ling's medicine hand seriously, for fear that she would hurt her younger brother. Jiang Ling pursed his lips and smiled, with some soft warmth in his heart, and looked up at Zhou Chengzhi: "Brother Chengzhi's heart is really good." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi sneered: "If the people in the palace hear someone praise me like this, I'm afraid they won't laugh out loud." I am a wicked person in the palace, and everyone is afraid of me. โ€œ

"That's because they don't understand you."

Zhou Chengzhi raised his eyebrows: "Ling'er knows me very well?" โ€œ

Jiang Ling said: "Anyway, I believe that Brother Chengzhi is a good person." โ€œ

Good? Zhou Chengzhi smiled secretly, he planned to be a good person in this life, but I don't know if those people will let him get his wish?

Zhou Chengru also echoed on the side: "Worry is a good person." After speaking, he pointed at Jiang Ling again, "Big brother is also a good person." โ€œ

Jiang Ling smiled: "Well, His Royal Highness the Great Prince is a good person. โ€œ

Zhou Chengru grinned happily, although the smile was childish, but it was difficult to hide the handsomeness of an adult man. It was not difficult for Jiang Ling to imagine how radiant he was before the accident.

"Big brother! Eldest brother! Zhou Chengwen's shouts came from outside.

Zhou Chengru's eyes widened: "The second brother is here!" โ€œ

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Chengwen had already rushed in, and when he saw Jiang Ling at a glance, his face immediately became displeased: "Cousin, why are you here?" My aunt is looking for you for breakfast! โ€œ

Jiang Ling said: "I heard that Brother Chengzhi's hand was injured a little, so I came to see him." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen squinted at Zhou Chengzhi's hand, and said disapprovingly: "What kind of injury can we suffer in our Jiang Mansion?" It's not his own nonsense. โ€œ

Without waiting for Jiang Ling to speak, Zhou Chengru had already raised his voice and said, "Sorrow is hurt, it hurts, it hurts." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen sneered: "What do you know about a fool?!" โ€œ

Zhou Chengru pouted when he was said, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Big brother is not a fool. โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen continued: "You are a fool, you only know the fool who helps your third brother. โ€œ

"Enough!" Zhou Chengzhi wrinkled his eyebrows and shouted.

Zhou Chengwen waved his hand, completely unimpressed by his reaction: "Okay, I won't say anything, I'm here to ask my eldest brother to go out with me." Big brother, do you want to go out with me? โ€œ

Although Zhou Chengru didn't quite understand what stupid meant, he was also ignorant and understood that it was not a good word, he looked at Zhou Cheng and knew: "I want to worry and take me to play." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen snorted in his nose: "I knew you would be like this, it's okay if you don't want me to bring it, I'm too troublesome!" After speaking, he went to pull Jiang Ling's hand again, "Ling'er, let's hurry up and have breakfast, and go out to play after eating." โ€œ

This time, Jiang Yan's hand was quick, and before he could touch him, he had already bounced off quickly, leaving her in the air.

Her slight movements made Zhou Chengzhi displeased, and she took a step forward, and wanted to pull her again, but Zhou Chengzhi quietly blocked away: "Second brother, those things you play, where will Ling'er's little girl's family like them." โ€œ

Jiang Ling also echoed: "Cousin, what Brother Chengzhi said is right, Ling'er doesn't like what you play with, and Ling'er is not a child anymore, what does it look like to always follow you out." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen sneered: "You are my cousin, you will marry me in the future, it is natural to be with me, who will say you?" โ€œ

When Zhou Chengzhi heard his words, his face changed, he suppressed his anger hard, and said unhurriedly: "What is this talking about second brother, the marriage event has been the order of the parents since ancient times, and the so-called marriage between you and Ling Er has not been skimmed yet, and if you say it like this now, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the girl's family." In case Ling'er doesn't marry you in the future, and your words spread again, how can she still marry? โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen snorted: "Joke! Ling Er marrying me is ironclad, and I really want to marry her, how can I ruin people's reputation? โ€œ

Jiang Ling sighed helplessly and said, "Cousin, I think Brother Chengzhi is right. You are the crown prince, marriage is not child's play, and it is not up to you to decide. The emperor chooses a concubine for you, who will be chosen, before the holy decree is issued, it is impossible to say which one. Ling Er was flattered that you had this thought, but before the dust settled, Ling Er also begged you not to talk about it. There is a case in everything, in case the crown princess you marry in the future is not me, I am afraid that I will not be regarded as a joke for the rest of my life. โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen waved his hand: "If you don't say it, don't say it, don't worry, when I go back, I will ask my father to give me a marriage, and you can wait to marry into the palace and be my crown princess." โ€œ

He has always been arrogant, and he takes everything he thinks for granted, and Zhou Chengzhi's heavy face falls in his eyes, which only makes him more proud.

Jiang Ling shook his head helplessly, not wanting to argue with him anymore, and Zhou Chengzhi didn't speak.

However, Zhou Chengru looked at the three of them with a confused expression, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Ling's hand and put it in Zhou Chengzhi's palm: "Second brother, you are not right, Sister Ling'er is not your crown princess, she is a worried princess." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen's smug face immediately became not so good-looking, and he reached out and pulled Jiang Ling's hand away: "Big brother, what nonsense are you talking about!" As he spoke, he knew to Zhou Cheng, "I knew you didn't have any good intentions?" It turned out that I was really thinking about my cousin. โ€œ

Zhou Cheng knew: "I don't care about who you don't care." โ€œ

His words were tantamount to admitting Zhou's submissions, and they also completely confirmed Jiang Ling's conjecture. Jiang Ling only felt that the string in his heart snapped and broke, and he was afraid that he would not be able to pretend to be stupid in front of him in the future.

Zhou Chengwen looked at Jiang Ling: "Cousin, did you hear that?" My third brother is thinking about you. But don't be deceived by him, he has a bad stomach, everyone in the palace knows it. โ€œ

Without waiting for Jiang Ling to answer, Zhou Chengru had already cross-examined loudly: "Worry is not bad, worry is a good person." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen sneered: "Just you fool thinks he's a good person." โ€œ

Although Jiang Ling knows what kind of character his cousin is, although he is not a wicked person, he has grown up in the palace since he was a child, and he has been pampered, so he will inevitably act arrogantly. Listening to him talk more and more, he couldn't bear it anymore, and frowned: "Cousin, the eldest prince is already very pitiful like this, can you not talk about fools?" Besides, Brother Chengzhi is so good to the eldest prince, I can't see where he is bad! โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen sneered: "I knew you were deceived by him." After speaking, he went to pull her roughly, "You come with me, and you are not going to stay with him anymore." โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi grabbed his wrist: "Second brother, Ling'er is not a child, so she can't be so unreasonable." โ€œ

"I am the crown prince, his cousin, and her husband in the future, what can I do if I don't be reasonable?" As he spoke, he hooked his lips and smiled, "What? Is the third brother going to fight with me again? I remember four years ago, we also had a fight in Jiangfu. โ€œ

Jiang Ling frowned with a little headache, afraid that they would really fight, so he said in a good voice: "Cousin, you let go of me, I am not a child, I know what to do." โ€œ

The two princes were tense, and their hands were exerting force, Jiang Ling only felt that the wrist held by Zhou Chengwen was faintly painful.

Just when the three of them were anxious, Zhou Chengru on the side pursed his lips and pushed Zhou Chengwen hard: "The second brother is a bad person, and he robs the princess with worries." โ€œ

Although he is an idiot, he is a tall adult man, Zhou Chengwen was pushed by him, staggered back, almost fell, and held Jiang Ling's hand involuntarily let go.

As soon as he let go, Zhou Chengru immediately blocked in front of Jiang Ling: "Second brother, don't rob the princess with worries, otherwise the eldest brother will be angry." โ€œ

Zhou Chengwen clapped his hands: "The three of you are quite in unison." After speaking, he looked at Jiang Ling, "Cousin, I can't care about you, right?" Then I'll call my uncle to take care of you! โ€œ

After saying that, he ran out of the door in a rage.

Jiang Ling covered his head a little, and Zhou Chengwen told him that he didn't know how to add oil and vinegar. Her father didn't know how much he would listen to him, but it was to be expected that in the next few days, everyone might not be โ–กโ–ก.

She turned her head to look at Zhou Chengzhi, only to see that his eyebrows were frowning slightly, obviously a little worried, and couldn't help but say angrily: "It's all your fault, what nonsense, now it's okay?" โ€œ

Zhou Chengzhi glanced at her lightly, and turned to Zhou Chengru and said, "Big brother, didn't I say it? Can't you tell others that Sister Ling'er is a worried princess, remember? โ€œ

Zhou Chengru saw that he looked serious, and nodded vigorously: "Remember." โ€œ
