Chapter Seventy-Four: Enemies
Li Jing knew that girls were afraid of caterpillars, so he had already come up with a plan in his heart before approaching her.
He walked to Zhu Qingmei's side with a smile and looked at her with a carestaking look.
She was wondering why he had such a meaningful smile after he had played tricks on him, when she heard him whisper in his foot-skimming Chinese, "There's a caterpillar on your neck." ”
"Ahh A scream immediately came out of Zhu Qingmei's mouth, and she hurriedly patted her neck desperately with her hand.
When the people next to her heard the news, they hurriedly turned their heads to look at her who was frightened.
Zhu Qingmei's mother was also frightened by her voice, and hurriedly leaned over to help her check her neck.
Where are there caterpillars.
"There was just now, I saw it, and she patted it away. Oh, I hope it doesn't scare you. Li Jing said in a respectful tone, then politely saluted her and turned back to his brothers.
Zhu Qingmei only felt that her heart was about to jump out, so she didn't have time to tell whether it was true or false, so she snuggled into her mother's arms and cried.
When everyone saw this, they knew that she was frightened, and they all comforted her.
But Zhu Qingmei still couldn't stop crying.
Caterpillar, it's terrible!
She had been pampered since she was a child, and she had to cry for most of the day even when she bumped into it occasionally, and now she heard that a caterpillar was a terrible thing for her, so she couldn't recover from that fear for a long time, and even cried all the way.
Li Chong saw this situation, and it was inevitable that he would be worried and embarrassed.
After all, it was caused by his son's words, and he was worried that he would upset the girl's family.
So he asked Li Jing in a low and serious voice: "Have you ever played tricks on others?" ”
Li Jing hurriedly said: "How dare the child." ”
If his father knew that he was teased by her first, he probably wouldn't have looked at him like this.
Li Jing thought in her heart.
The thought that he had played a trick on her made me feel happy again.
However, for nearly an hour afterward, Zhu Qingmei was still crying intermittently, her eyes were red and swollen, and it was distressing to look at. Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little unbearable.
It seems that his trick is too ruthless.
I don't know if she will leave a psychological shadow in the future.
If that's the case, wouldn't she have to be hated for the rest of her life?
Thinking like this, Li Jing suddenly wanted to make up for it.
But if he walked over now, he would have caused her to scream again, so he couldn't go there for now.
He thought about it and decided to wait until he returned to the palace before taking the initiative to apologize to her.
After the group got off the Great Wall, Li Jing kept staring at her.
When she and her parents got out of the carriage and walked into the palace, he followed them unhurriedly.
At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and they were arranged to go to the living room for afternoon tea.
While eating tea, Li Jing glanced at Zhu Qingmei, and then he walked out of the living room in advance.
Zhu Qingmei guessed that he might have something to say to himself, and he lied to his parents that he was going to go to the official room. Then he walked out gently.
Out of the door of the living room. Zhu Qingmei looked left and right, and found that Li Jing was waving to her behind the rockery not far on the right, and she thought about it. Feeling that there was nothing to be afraid of, he walked slowly in the direction where he was.
As soon as she arrived at him, Zhu Qingmei glared at him fiercely and said, "Did you deliberately trick me?" ”
"I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry! Isn't there a saying in your country that 'if you don't fight, you don't know each other'? We're acquainted now, aren't we? Li Jingfu said with a smile.
"Hmph. Who wants to know someone like you? Zhu Qingmei glanced at him and wanted to leave.
Li Jing hurriedly stretched out her hand and grabbed it. Then he quickly let go, and continued to smile and said, "Then if you are still angry, you can beat me and scold me." It's all up to you. ”
Li Jingyi actually spoke Chinese smoothly when she was not nervous, so Zhu Qingmei didn't feel that there was a language barrier between the two at all.
I can't beat him, and scolding him makes him seem to be unqualified. Zhu Qingmei couldn't think of how to deal with him for a while. Seeing him look low and small, he immediately sneered.
"Then aren't you mad at me?" Li Jing hurriedly took advantage of the situation to ask.
Zhu Qingmei realized that she didn't seem to be angry with him anymore. He smiled and said, "Then you want to play hopscotch with me." ”
"Hopscotch?" Li Jing was shocked.
It's not about a show of jumping off the house, is it?
seemed to see through Li Jing's thoughts, Zhu Qingmei explained with a smile: "No, it's a game, come, I'll teach you to play." With that, he pulled him and ran to the pavilion in the middle of the courtyard.
Then, she broke off a branch from the tree, drew something in the shape of a house on the ground, divided it into several grids, and then plucked a dried fruit from the branch and threw it down to the 'house', and then explained to him how to play.
Seeing Zhu Qingmei jumping happily between the lattices with her skirt, so innocent, lovely, and vibrant, blooming as warmly as a flower that has never experienced pain, Li Jing's gaze gradually became gentle.
Soon, he learned how to play hopscotch, but he was still laughed at by Zhu Qingmei for being stupid.
Then Zhu Qingmei asked him to accompany her to swing and play chess.
The two quickly became acquainted.
………………
Yan Jinxuan, who came out of Wenyuan Pavilion to check the information, strode towards the main gate of the palace, but when he passed by the Concord Gate, he suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice from the garden next to him, he hurriedly stopped and listened carefully, and after confirming that it was Zhu Qingmei's voice, he walked there.
Through the hidden door, he saw Zhu Qingmei from a distance, and she was playing chess with a teenager at this time.
They play on their stomachs.
The small chessboard keeps the two heads close together.
"Stupid, it's not like this, it's going to be like this, like this, get it?" Zhu Qingmei's voice could hear the joy in her heart.
And the young man seemed to be particularly upset by her set, no matter what she said, he was not angry, but listened to her teachings very cooperatively.
"What are some of the fun games in your country?" Zhu Qingmei asked while playing chess with him.
The boy replied in a serious tone.
"I'll play a lot!" Zhu Qingmei was happy.
Then Zhu Qingmei asked again: "What do you usually like to do?" ”
The young man replied in broken Chinese: "Read books and practice martial arts." ”
"I hate reading the most." Zhu Qingmei pouted, and her fingers vigorously popped out a chess piece.
"It doesn't matter, girls don't have to take the top prize." The boy said with a smile.
"That's it." Zhu Qingmei nodded again and again.
Yan Jinxuan originally wanted to come over to say hello, but when he saw that the two of them were having fun, he stood in place.
He watched them from afar, thoughtful.
After a while, he quietly left.
Out of the palace gate, Yan Jinxuan said to Gu Song: "Let's go to Envoy Zhang's house first." (To be continued)
