51. Aggrieved and embarrassed
On the night when King Zhao's army was stationed outside Qingyuan County, the weather was a little uncomfortable, and Yao Qi couldn't sit still at home and went to the stream in the west of the city to take a bath.
Originally, the city gate was closed at that time, but Yao Qi, who grew up here, knew that there was a small broken hole in the northwest corner of the city gate, which was now covered by weeds in the summer, and few people knew about it.
Pushing aside the weeds and getting out of the hole, she ran to the creek in one go, took off her dress and jumped into the cool water, she felt refreshed.
There are few people in the stream in the west of the city at night, and Yao Qi often sneaks there to take a bath, and he has never encountered any danger at all, so he is naturally unguarded.
But she didn't know that a figure would suddenly emerge on the calm water, so frightened that she couldn't help but scream.
But I didn't want to be covered as soon as I spoke: "Don't scream, do you want to lure the people out of the city?" ”
Hearing that it was a deep male voice, Yao Qi was even more scared, thinking that she was an unmarried little girl, if such a thing was spread, how would she marry in the future? Now, as soon as the man reminded him, he obediently shut up and did not dare to speak again.
Liu Yan saw that the girl next to him closed his mouth, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart, he just ran over with the army behind his back to swim and bumped into a little girl, his luck in hitting the peach blossom was always so good.
Looking down at the frightened girl who buried her whole body in the stream, Liu Yan couldn't help but think of teasing: "Sneaking here to take a bath at night is definitely not a girl from a good family." ”
Yao Qi was annoyed when she heard this, and looked up and glared at the smiling man, but she couldn't speak because he covered her mouth. Yao Qi stretched out his hand to remove his big palm covering his mouth, but to no avail, he was a little anxious for a while, and suddenly moved his lip flap down, and bit down on Liu Yan's hand.
Liu Yan raised his eyebrows, but his hand didn't move: "It's a girl with sharp teeth." ”
Seeing that this was useless, Yao Qi couldn't help but increase his strength, until a smell of blood gradually came from his mouth, but he still didn't see the slightest movement of Liu Yan to stop.
Liu Yan looked at Yao Qi, who was like a puppy, gritted his teeth and smiled: "Now that you have drunk my blood, do you want to become one with me?" This boy has to think about it. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a burst of warmth in his hand, Liu Yan hurriedly let go of his hand, and in the soft moonlight, Yao Qi's eyes seemed to contain autumn water, full of moving, and the transparent liquid in the crystal sockets slipped quietly.
Liu Yan thought that he had seen a lot of women, but it was the first time he had encountered a woman crying like this, and he was a little at a loss for a while: "Hey, I was joking with you, why are you crying?" ”
Yao Qi turned his head and ignored him, but he felt both aggrieved and embarrassed in his heart, and couldn't help but feel even more sad.
Liu Yan had a headache for a while, he just wanted to come over tonight to cool off, he didn't want to make more trouble, not to mention a little girl, he didn't want to provoke more, just now I didn't know what kind of wind I had to say those frivolous words, but now I saw that things were like this and said helplessly: "Okay, don't cry, I'll leave, you can treat this incident as if nothing happened tonight." If you don't speak, I'll acquiesce, I'm really gone! ”
After that, Yao Qi still didn't mean to deal with him, so he sighed helplessly and dived into the stream and swam away.
When the surroundings were calm, Yao Qi gradually stopped crying, turned his head to look around, and saw that there was really no one, so he put on his clothes in a panic and ran back to the city.
After that, Yao Qi really hadn't seen Liuyan, thinking back that he hadn't suffered any losses that night, and others didn't know about it, so he let go of his hanging heart, and now he saw Liuyan again outside the gate of Xie Zhixian Yao Qi felt that his whole heart was about to jump out, if the events of that night were shaken out by this man, then she wouldn't want to marry in the future.
The more Yao Qi thought about it, the more nervous she felt, and her hands involuntarily stirred the corners of her clothes in front of her, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.
Chen didn't pay attention to his daughter's expression, and said to himself: "Yes, I am Yao Yao's stepmother, and I heard that His Royal Highness King Zhao saved Yaoyao's life last night, so I specially brought some pastries to thank Your Highness." ”
"Your Highness is now handling official business, I'm afraid I can't get out, I'm the guard in front of His Royal Highness King Zhao, why don't you give me this snack, and I will personally hand it over to His Highness." Liuyan said as he stretched out his hand to pick up the food box in Chen's hand.
The Chen family came to see King Zhao, if he can't see anyone, where will he stop? She hid the hand holding the food box back, and laughed twice: "Wouldn't it seem that we are very insincere, it is better to see His Highness in person and thank him in person." ”
Chen Shi saw that Liuyan's brows frowned slightly, and he hurriedly said: "If the eldest brother of the guard is worried that we have missed His Highness's political affairs, then let the little girl send it, but just say thank you to us in person, and feel at ease." ”
"This girl is also Yao Zhengdong's daughter?" Liuyan set his eyes on Yao Qi again, but this time he looked at it with a deep look.
Chen nodded: "Yes, my father-in-law has a total of two daughters, one is Yao Yao, I think you have already seen it, and the other is Yao Qi." ”
"Then Yao Qian is ......"
"Oh, you mean to take care of my father-in-law in Shangjing, that's the righteous daughter he just received. What's the matter, the guard brother has seen Yao Qian? ”
"Righteous daughter?" Liuyan muttered in a low voice, but there was some surprise in his heart, these days in the capital he heard some rumors, saying that King Yin and Yao Zhengdong were planning to dedicate Yao Zhengdong's young daughter Yao Qian to King Zhao, just because King Zhao was far away in the frontier, he did not act, he only thought that Yao Zhengdong was really willing to give his daughter out as an item, and he didn't want this Yao Qian to be a righteous daughter.
However, if they want to send a woman to King Zhao, then His Royal Highness King Zhao must respond. It's just that His Royal Highness King Zhao is such a person, and how can he leave a woman by his side who may endanger him at all times?
Liuyan squinted at Yao Qi, who had been silent on the side, and sighed in his heart, this Yao Zhengdong still has some conscience and knows how to protect his own daughter.
It's just that, seeing that the Chen family came today with the intention of letting King Zhao see Yao Qi, I'm afraid that they still don't understand the deep meaning of this, and it is a great good thing to marry King Zhao.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him again, and there were some doubts in his heart, could it be that she was also thinking like her mother? If that's the case, it's really not cute.
Thinking of that night a few days ago, Liu Yan couldn't help but smile at the corner of his lips.
It's just that he really wants to know that this girl named Yao Qi really wants to be King Zhao's woman: "In this case, please let Miss Yao Qi go in with me." ”
Chen was overjoyed when he heard this, handed the food box in his hand to Yao Qi, and whispered in her ear: "You have to remember what I told you." ”
Yao Qi reluctantly took the food box, but he never replied to Chen's words, and followed Liuyan into the mansion with his head down.
