Chapter 28: Rivals in Chess (3)
The sky was not very good this morning, and the black clouds overhead, making Zero Tears feel like he was going to be damned. She shrunk her neck weakly, and her whole body was cold, only then did she realize that she had forgotten to put on her cloak when she went out, and if it snowed heavily after a while, she didn't even have a shield from the wind.
She trembled and walked quickly towards the Qingyan Hall in Kyushu, but only halfway through, the starry snowflakes really floated down. She couldn't stand the cold, sneezed hard, and couldn't help but stand and look up at the sky, although she was a killer, but her hands really haven't been stained with blood, God won't settle accounts with her at this time.
"Gege, be careful of freezing", someone gently put on a cloak for her behind her, she turned around in surprise and called out in surprise, "Xiao Hengzi." ”
Fu Heng looked around, fortunately no one heard, and said in a low voice, "Gege went to greet the emperor so early, isn't it worrying about the fourth elder brother?" ”
But no, she nodded immediately, "Hongshi's person is cautious and vengeful at first glance, if Ah Si doesn't completely bring him down this time, he will definitely retaliate maliciously." ”
As soon as he heard it, he couldn't help but laugh, what he said was too much like someone, "The fourth elder brother has always been sure of doing things", lowered his head and slowly tied the strap on her cloak, "It's just that I'm worried that the fourth elder brother will take into account the feelings of brotherhood and can't do anything to the third elder brother." ”
Zero tears rolled his eyes, "When he fought with me, this hand was not only down, but also ruthless." ”
Look, who's the most vindictive! Fu Heng pursed his lips and smiled, "Fourth elder brother can only be so open to those closest to him......"
She raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Don't say nice things about him." When this matter is over, he and I still enter the water and do not interfere with the river. ”
His shaved cheeks flushed slightly, and he let out a light "um" and honestly shut up.
With a cloak to keep warm, Zero Tears walked slowly on the stone path with Fu Heng. She rarely gets up early, and she is not so bored as to sacrifice her sleep time to wander around the garden, but with him with her company today, she suddenly feels that the air this morning is very fresh, the pines and cypresses are verdant and green, and even the sparrow, which she has always thought is noisy, now calls a little like a lark.
She hummed a little song very happily and jumped to Kyushu Qingyan.
"Hey, I can actually see zero tears at this hour, it's really a miracle in the world", someone said suddenly.
Zero tears looked up, Hongli, who was dressed in a blue satin brocade robe, was standing at the door of the hall, with a pair of peach blossom eyes full of narrow smiles. It's just that before she had time to say a few words back to him, she was stunned again, how could it be Hongshi standing next to him? What kind of tricks are these brothers playing?
"Gege, let's play chess again when we have time", Hongshi's dark and bright eyes stared at her, staring at her so much that she didn't dare to meet his eyes.
Su Peisheng walked out at this time, and when he saw zero tears, he was also quite surprised, and said with a smile, "Coincidentally, the emperor is still talking about Gege who is still lying in bed at this time." ”
Hearing this, her face immediately overflowed with embarrassment, her name can be regarded as the beginning of the Old Summer Palace. It's really a good thing not to go out, but think about it, she hasn't done anything good, right, and Ah Si set up Hongshi, is this counted?
She followed the two brothers into the hall and saluted the emperor respectfully, but the little eyes swirled on Hongli's body from time to time, anxious why he hadn't reported to the emperor. I looked at Hongshi again, and saw that he was still smiling like a breeze on his face, and I couldn't guess which side had the upper hand? She was so anxious that she was even more like a cat.
“…… Zero Tears ......"
"Ah", she suddenly came back to her senses, and realized that the emperor was calling her, and immediately grinned, "What's the matter?" ”
The emperor beckoned, and she obediently approached her, he touched her head, and gently stroked her face, and smiled at the corner of his mouth, "You know what? You look like your mother. ”
Like? She recalled Mrs. Chen's appearance, except for two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, she really couldn't see where else she looked. "Actually, Sister Wanyao is more like a mother", she said with a smile, so it shouldn't be considered a bully.
"Zero tears are quite manly, it should be more with my father", Hongli's eyes fell on her face, and she worked hard for a long time, but she didn't find any of the temperament that a scholarly family should have.
The emperor sneered, "Chen Bingzhi is a Wenchen who has no power to restrain the chicken, where is he to follow him!" ”
Zero tears took a deep breath when she heard this, she didn't look like her mother, and she didn't follow her father, was the emperor knocking on her side? She whispered apprehensively, "Yes, the neighborhood used to joke that it was the wrong hug, hehe." ”
The emperor laughed and said, "There is a saying among the people that 'not a family does not enter a family', it seems that Zero Tears is destined to come to me as a daughter." ”
None of the three of them understood what the emperor meant, but they all laughed cooperatively.
Please come out of here, it's already snowing heavily. Fu Heng greeted the door with an oil-paper snow umbrella, and ran over with a smile as soon as he saw zero tears, and Hongli teased behind him, "Be careful of falling a dog and eating." ”
She immediately turned around and glared at him, "What do you mean! Is it to scold me for being a dog and scolding Fu Heng? ”
Seeing this, Hiroshi also quipped, "Gege misheard the point." ”
She looked at him puzzled.
Hongshi said with a smile, "The fourth brother's focus is on the word 'eat'. He was afraid that you would eat Fu Heng. ”
She didn't understand what he was saying at all, and when she looked back at Fu Heng, she saw that he lowered his head instead, and the snow was white and white, and he blushed even more with nowhere to hide. Her face was even more confused, tired of their way of talking, and raised her head and said, "You guys are really boring, you don't talk simply, you do things secretly, I don't bother to pay attention to you", and she was about to go out.
"Zero tears", Hongli suddenly stopped her, "I asked the third elder brother to drink tea in the Guangfeng Jiyue Hall in front, why don't you go with us." ”
Is this going to be a showdown? Although it was not quite what she imagined, the corners of her mouth were curled, and she was happy to enjoy such a good show. Walked under Fu Heng's umbrella with his hand, "Let's go, let's go and ask for a good cup of tea to drink." ”
There are several large goldfish ponds in the Guangfeng Jiyue Palace, although the water in the pond has been frozen, but because the fish nest is very deep, the temperature is high, and the water surface is only a thin layer of ice, and you can still see more than a dozen koi fish still swimming in the ice. Zero tears curiously lay on the windowsill, counting how many colors the colorful koi fish had.
Fu Heng took the freshly brewed Liubao tea, took a sip with zero tears, and nodded with satisfaction, although she didn't like to drink tea, but after entering the garden, she drank it every day, and she could taste good or bad after a long time, and turned back to Hongli and said, "It turns out that you have such a good tea hidden there." You two brothers are really half a pound and eight taels. ”
"What do you mean by that?" Hiroshi asked.
She pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer. What do you mean? Of course, both of them are stingy. She sat next to them with a tea bowl, and Fu Heng dutifully stood behind her.
Suddenly no one spoke in the room, and after a moment of silence, Zero Tears couldn't help but look left and right, and the air pressure was so low that it could suffocate people. She cleared her throat and loosened her neckline very awkwardly, please, if you want to fight, hurry up, don't torture her as an innocent spectator.
"Fourth brother should have something to say to me, right?" Hiroshi broke the deadlock first, drinking tea leisurely, and he couldn't see the tension of the coming disaster.
Hongli glanced at him, and his voice was a little cold, "The third brother's movements are so fast." Or have you been prepared for the East Window incident for a long time? ”
Hongshi smiled, took the copper kettle boiled on the red clay stove, and unhurriedly filled his tea bowl with water, "Fourth brother, I have always admired your methods of coaxing women. I didn't expect Feng Niang to surrender to you, it really surprised me. ”
Hongli didn't have the heart to quarrel with him, but said lightly, "You used the three-inch medicine store to control all the medicines in the camps around the capital, and the oil and water alone were nearly 10,000 taels." It's just a matter of raising the price of medicine, so why do you want to be shoddy. I wonder if you're going to kill a lot of people if you do this? ”
Hongshi smiled disappreciatively, "Fourth brother, you are really compassionate. They are not my soldiers, and if they die, they will die, and there is no pity. ”
"They are the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, and you are the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty", Hongli stood up angrily.
Hearing this, Hiroshi's lips smiled even more, and his voice was harsh and cold, "You're right. I am just the elder brother of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty is the emperor's, you are the future emperor, and the life or death of the entire Qing Dynasty has nothing to do with me. ”
Zero Tears watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help but take a long breath, feeling as if there was an electric flint in the air. Before, she didn't see Ah Si angry, but at this moment, he was simply not angry and arrogant...... King!
"Third brother, you finally said it", Hongli's face was even colder, "For so many years, you have always held a grudge against me, isn't it because of the position of this prince." Don't say anything that has nothing to do with you, if you really don't care, will you let Feng Niang kill me and kill Fu Heng? ”
Hiroshi's expression did not change, and he snorted lightly, "So what?" You have no proof. Otherwise, you would have gone to the Emperor and sued me. ”
"I don't expose you, I don't want to see you die", Hongli's voice became a little excited, "With the temperament of Emperor Ama, he will kill you!" ”
Hiroshi was silent for a while before he said in a dumb voice, "Brotherhood?" It's ridiculous, Aixin Jueluo's family has never had this thing. Fourth, you remember it clearly for me, there is only you between us. If you have the ability, kill me. Otherwise, I will never show mercy to your men. ”
Zero tears jumped and looked at him involuntarily. Hongshi also looked at her and sneered, "Gege, you yourself have to judge the situation and stand in the right position." ”
She didn't answer. She really wanted to sue him, and the person who didn't see the situation clearly was him, okay. It's just that, looking at his stubbornness that is unwilling to succumb to fate, he can't help but sigh in his heart. It is said that poor people must have something to hate, and vice versa.
"The fourth brother's tea is very good, but it's a pity that it can't be drunk at the right time, so let's wait for the spring to bloom and the willows and flowers to shine before drinking", Hongshi got up, said no more, and brushed his sleeves away.
After he left, Zero Tears couldn't wait to ask, "Ah Si, what have you been doing these two days?" Didn't find any evidence? ”
Hongli lowered his head with a wry smile, "Although Feng Niang said where the account book of the three-inch medicine store was hidden, but when I touched the melon, Hongshi had already transferred the silver taels, and the other people involved in the world disappeared in the blink of an eye. I had an empty ledger and I couldn't sue him at all. ”
"Oh, no wonder you just said he was fast", she nodded, but it was only half a day's work, and he actually swept all traces clean. Regret it, if she had known, she would have tried her best to delay him for a while longer.
"Forget it, this time it also hurt Hiroshi", he looked down at her.
She lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking, and said in a muffled voice, "Tear your face, tear your face, don't worry, he is not your opponent." ”
When he heard this, his black eyes suddenly brightened, "Did I hear it wrong just now?" You repeat! ”
She waved her sleeves and said with a smile, "Don't say good things a second time." Looking up at the window, the snow had stopped for some time, so he beckoned Fu Heng to go back to the bamboo courtyard together.
Hongli looked at her back, and couldn't help but smile happily from the corners of his eyes and lips.
