Chapter 171: Fooled
He Lanyong stared at the woman who was sleeping and drooling in her arms, and was shocked! How big is this woman's heart? How bold!
Xia Chen felt as if the wind had suddenly stopped, opened his eyes in a daze, and wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand very naturally: "Arrived?" β
Helan Yongzheng looked at her childlike sweet sleeping face with some distraction, and wanted to touch the blush on her forehead, but she suddenly opened her eyes and panicked, and threw her out casually.
"Fortunately, I reacted quickly, I knew that you didn't have a good heart, or you would have to be thrown half to death!" Xia Chen spun around in the air and landed in a dashing manner, clapping his hands.
Helan Yong wanted to catch her, but when she saw that she was fine, he threw off his hand and untied his cloak: "Make me drool!" Then he walked to the door.
Xia Chen didn't feel embarrassed at all: "It must have pressed the salivary glands, I usually don't drool when I sleep." β
Helan Yong turned back suddenly: "Salivary glands? "How could she have uttered such modern words.
Xia Chen stretched out his hands: "You don't understand?" I don't really understand it either, I came across it by accident in a book. Let's get down to business. β
After some bargaining, Xia Chen agreed to do her duty as a princess in front of outsiders, and in exchange, she could enter and leave the palace freely, but only when Shang Wuchen could accompany her, and he had to tell him where he was going in advance, ensuring that he could go to her whenever he had something, and he would go to bed on time at night.
Xia Chen thought that in this kind of era, he was a prince, which was also a great concession, so he smiled and patted the case: "Deal." β
"Deal." King Ge looked at her back, and a smile appeared on his face that was not very kind no matter how he looked at it.
Xuemei cried when she saw her: "Princess." Where have you been? Scared the slave to death. β
Xia Chen helped her up: "Okay, okay, it's not good to cry again." β
These words are not a panacea for a woman, but they are not much worse, Xuemei wiped the tears on her face: "Princess." How do you dress up with this makeup? Sit down and comb your hair. β
Xia Chen sat helplessly in front of the dresser: "Just pull it up, I'll go to bed later." β
"Oh princess, why do you have a white hair again."
Xia Chen couldn't help frowning, thinking that he had traveled through time, could it be that this body had a rejection reaction with his soul? Or has she been thinking too much lately? "Pull it off, it's okay to have one or two."
Xia Chen couldn't sleep at night, and she listened to the sounds around her. I couldn't help but glance at the window. Although I hope that he is the one who keeps his promises, why is he still inexplicably expecting something?
She thought about it and finally found the reason! It's one thing to not let him come, it's another thing for him to say he can't come. He has to be responsible for himself when he marries himself, doesn't he? Or is she so charming that she doesn't even care about men who are honest and obedient!
No way! When pigs fly! It's not like she hasn't looked in the mirror, this face is so beautiful that even she thinks she is!
He respects himself like a guest just because his early heart belongs, and he can't do this substitute that he forced over, and he can't imagine that he is still a dedicated man.
I suddenly had a little affection for him in my heart. also had a hint of sourness towards the woman who had occupied his heart. What does that woman look like? He's dead? Or married someone else? Or is there some other reason why you can't be with him?
Had breakfast the next day. Xia Chen went to the steward of the palace and asked him to buy a few men's clothes for him, and there was no better way to hide his identity than a woman pretending to be a man.
Then she went to find Shang Wuchen again, and after looking around, she suddenly felt as if she had been fooled! Shang Wuchen is not from the palace at all! Although there is a place for him to live, it is said that he sometimes does not come once in a year and a half, so isn't her so-called free access an empty talk?
asked the guard, and the guard said that because the study was on fire, King Ge temporarily moved to the south study in the front yard to deal with affairs. She went to the front yard angrily, only to see King Ge standing under the porch and greeting a richly dressed man.
The man in the fancy costume turned his head as if he felt something: "Yo? Didn't my cousin say that the princess was sick? Why didn't you rest in your room? Look, it's good. β
"Aifei, why don't you listen to the doctor's advice!" King Ge had a reproachful face. The tone is concerned and spoiled.
Xia Chen covered his lips and smiled: "I saw that the weather was good and wanted to go out for a walk, and the imperial doctor said that it is also good to bask in the sun." Since the prince has a guest, I won't bother. β
The man in Chinese clothes said, "Wait a minute, why doesn't the princess recognize me?" You often come to my house to play with the third sister. β
Xia Chen glanced at He Lanyong and gave a slight blessing to the man in Chinese clothes: "Not long ago, I broke my head while riding a horse and suffered from temporary amnesia, I don't know who the son is?" β
Helan Yong said: "My cousin King Hailing, you have always called him Brother Hailao before. β
Xia Chen's goosebumps fell to the ground, and he said with a smile: "I really can't remember this." β
King Hai Liang said: "It's okay, since it's temporary, I'll think about it slowly." I have a gift for the princess as a wedding gift. β
Xia Chen bowed: "How embarrassing is this?" Let Brother Hailing, uh, it's a waste of money. β
King Hai Ling motioned to Shi Cong to give the gift box, Xia Chen also asked He Lanyong with his eyes very obediently, and only after seeing him nodding did he take it: "So I'm welcome, thank you King Hai Ling." β
Helan Yong said: "You are not well yet, go back to the room to rest, I have ordered the kitchen to make your favorite dish for lunch." β
"Retire." Xia Chen left the front yard as if she had been pardoned, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, she lifted the box and threw it out.
"Ouch!" Xuemei covered her head and walked out of the corner: "Princess, why are you beating me." β
"Why are you following me?" Xia Chen couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't, I just wanted to come and sue Princess SΓΉ, that ...... Hey? This string of eastern pearls is so beautiful, round, big and bright. Xuemei realized that it was a brocade box that smashed her big bag, and at this time, the brocade box was ajar, and a bead of Dongzhu was shining charmingly in the sun.
"Make it up, you'll do it!" Xia Chen said and took the string of eastern pearls in her hand and looked at it, it was really a rare treasure, which was to be exchanged for silver, and she would no longer be a proletarian here.
Back to your own yard. She asked Xuemei: "Go find a piano, and then prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for me." β
Xuemei's eyes widened: "The princess doesn't want to play the piano in this courtyard, right?" β
Xia Chen saw that her face was a little strange, and said, "What? Am I not playing well? β
Xuemei smiled awkwardly: "No, no, no." It's not bad, it's bad! Ah! Princess, don't beat the slave maid, this is not what the slave said! β
"Who said that?" Xia Chen crossed his waist.
"It's the master who said it, and the master who taught the princess to play the piano also said that if the princess can play the piano well, he would rather go farming. Oh, the princess spares her life, the princess really wants to play it to the house. Xuemei shouted while protecting her head.
"Haha!" Shang Wuchen laughed when he entered the hospital and saw this. He Lanyong beside him was also a little smiling, but it seemed that something made him very unhappy, so he immediately put on a straight face again.
Shang Wuchen whispered: "Unintentionally." Seeing this picture, even if you beat it up, it's worth it. Originally, he promised King Ge that he would not run to the palace recently, but he somehow came again.
Xia Chen flicked his sleeves: "You guys have something to do with me?" β
Helan Yong said: "It's okay, I just want to tell you that you are not allowed to go out today." Don't you want to play the piano, the dust-free piano art is unparalleled in the world. β
"Why aren't you allowed to go out today?" The moment he saw Shang Wuchen, Xia Chen thought that he was wrong to blame King Ge. didn't expect him to come up with such a sentence. Suddenly, the anger came up again.
"King Hai Lao already knows that you are sick, in case you go out and are bumped into by his people, the previous play will be in vain! So it's better to go out two days later. β
Xia Chen thought that Qiao's clothes hadn't been delivered yet, so he had to nod: "Okay!" As soon as she saw King Hailing, she felt that the man was a little dangerous, and she was separated from King Ge, after all, she had to follow the chicken after all, and it was better not to make any extraneous branches before she got used to the environment.
He Lanyong was a little surprised by her attitude of such cooperation, and hesitated slightly: "I still have something." Dust-free, instruct the princess to play the piano. β
Shang Wuchen hurriedly said: "I still have something to do!" He didn't hear Xuemei's words. And the most intolerable thing in his life is to play the piano indiscriminately!
Helan Yong squinted his eyes and said, "Huh? "Yes.
Shang Wuchen's shoulders drooped: "I'll do it again in the evening." β
Xuemei had already picked up the piano bag and opened the case: "Master Shang." What do you think of this piano? β
Shang Wuchen looked at it for a moment, tried to pluck the strings a few times, tuned it and said lightly: "Barely available, princess, please." "It's not a famous piano, but the timbre is also present.
Xuemei's eyes widened: "Master Shang, don't you demonstrate it first?" β
Xia Chen put a little on Xuemei's forehead: "Little girl, what do you mean!" It's not that I can't play music, so why do I need someone to teach me? "It's just that I want to relieve my boredom, and by the way, I wrote two music scores to Hu's mother, how to let these people mix and jump.
"I play the piano a lot, first of all, I have to be distracted, then I have to bathe and burn incense, and ......" Shang Wuchen smiled slightly when he said this, and Xuemei's eyes straightened.
Xia Chen blurted out: "Trouble! I don't know what you ancients think! After speaking, she was stunned for a moment: "Well, I mean you people are too old-fashioned, although the sound of the piano is in harmony with nature, it can also be used to express emotions and dispel worries." β
Shang Wuchen nodded: "It makes sense, I also feel that I have a lot of problems at the time." β
Xia Chen sat in front of the desk, and a few qin songs naturally appeared in her mind, although she wondered why she could play the guqin, but even if she was a traverser, there was nothing that could not be explained.
Looking at the cloudy sky and feeling the faint chrysanthemum fragrance in the wind, Xia Chen took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, then raised his hand and lightly pulled a few times on the strings to stop: "What kind of song should you play?" β
Xuemei and Shang Wuchen, who originally saw that she was in trouble, pricked up their ears and were ready to listen carefully, heard this, their expressions were like chickens suddenly hearing thunder under the clear sky, and after being stunned for a moment, they danced in the air for a long time, but they didn't say a word.
Xia Chen pouted slightly: "Can you be normal?" β
Shang Wuchen cried even more when he heard this, who is abnormal? It's obvious that someone has been talking about it for a long time, but he hasn't even thought about what song he wants to play.
Xia Chen coughed lightly: "It's a little rusty that I haven't played for a long time, by the way, Mr. Shang, do you know how to memorize music?" β
Shang Wuchen was a little dazed: "Yes." β
Xia Chen said: "Xuemei, polish ink for the merchant son." β
Shang Wuchen said in surprise: "What does the princess mean to let me write down the tunes you played?" β
Xia Chen said very solemnly: "Yes, otherwise I'm afraid I'll forget it after I finish playing." β
For the first time in his life, Shang Wuchen had an urge to go crazy! It's not that he hasn't written a song, which time has he not been thoughtful, forgetting to sleep and eating, and repeatedly scrutinizing, and it took a few days or months to complete a song. She, she, she didn't even think about what she wanted to play, and she was going to make a song, and she asked him to write it down!
Xia Chen raised his hand: "Why are you all looking at me like this?" Haven't you seen a master? Xuemei, go and prepare. β
Shang Wuchen only felt that he was about to faint: "Master, no, no, princess, please." "Horizontal and vertical is a knife, he secretly swears that next time Helan Yong will not receive such an errand even if he uses a knife on his neck! Xia Chen not only has amnesia, but also seems to have a tendency to lose his mind.
Xia Chen only felt that there were many beautiful tunes in her mind, but for some reason most of them were not suitable for playing with this guqin......
After finishing the song, she felt that this was a little too sad, so she played a song of jasmine, and then a song full of red rivers and flat sand and falling geese...... In the end, I played the autumn words, and I didn't play it right, and the strings always felt a little insufficient, and they were a little bit meaningless, so I stopped.
Xuemei clapped her hands and said, "Princess, when did you play the piano so well, it's just that this song is so long." "In the past, listening to the princess playing the piano always jammed her little heart, but this time she played such a long piece in one breath, and sometimes cheerful, sometimes sad, sometimes long, sometimes excited, she felt very pleasing even if she didn't understand the rhythm.
Xia Chen glanced at her: "These are several tunes." β
Shang Wuchen raised his head in surprise: "Why don't you play?" β
"I'm tired!" Xia Chen stretched. In fact, she didn't put too much thought into the piano when she played the piano just now, and there were many images in her mind, people and landscapes, some of which made her happy and some sad, but all of them also made her feel deeply missing.
Shang Wuchen was stunned for a moment and put down his pen: "Princess, can you let me take these music scores back and sort them out before giving them to the princess." β
"Of course, I want to rest for a while." Xia Chen said and went back to the room.
Shang Wuchen looked at her back until it disappeared, and returned to the score on the case with a wry smile and sighed: "If she is not a genius, there will be no genius in this world." Although the piano skills are a few points worse. With that, he carefully rolled up the score, put it away as if he had found a treasure, and walked away quickly.
The dishes for lunch were very rich, and Xia Chen was shocked to find that these were indeed her favorite dishes. "Xuemei, did you tell the prince that I like to eat these?"
Xuemei shook her head in surprise: "No, why does the princess like to eat these dishes now?" You've never eaten fish before. β
Xia Chen was even more puzzled when she heard this, she heard that Xuemei was her personal maid, and she said that she never ate fish, and these dishes must not be made by her suing people. But you're here in time, aren't you? How did King Ge know that she loved sweet and sour fish? Is this a coincidence?
Just as he was thinking about it, Helanyong's voice came from outside the door: "Can I come in?" β
Xia Chen secretly scolded "hypocrisy", what kind of scene is it in the daylight. "Come in."
"Meals are appetizing." Helan Yong pushed the door and asked.
Xia Chen thought about it for nothing, and put down his chopsticks: "It's so-so." The prince deliberately moved over, should he just want to ask me how the food was? Why don't you say it directly. β
Helan Yong caught a glimpse of the fish on the table with only one thorn left, and lost his mind for a moment. "I wanted to ask if you know where Wuchen went?" (To be continued......)
