Chapter 254: Aftermath (3)

After lunch, Xu Zheng called Chen Yuanzhao to the study.

Xu Zheng told what happened in the Jinluan Palace: "The emperor didn't get angry on the spot, but still named me as the champion." However, the palace banquet was only halfway through, and the emperor withdrew. I had a letter delivered to you early in the morning to prepare you. In case the emperor blames me for being angry with me in the future, please protect my mother and sister."

Chen Yuanzhao's eyes flashed slightly, and he interrupted Xu Zheng lightly: "Don't worry, with me, they will be safe." ”

If someone else says something like this, it will inevitably look arrogant. But Chen Yuanzhao said that he was so confident and natural.

Xu Zheng solemnly thanked: "Thank you!" ”

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows: "Ah Yu is my fiancΓ©e, and it is only natural for me to protect her." Why do you need to thank you? ”

This is not polite, but Xu Zheng listens to it very comfortably.

Chen Yuanzhao said again: "You don't have to worry too much. The emperor is a son of heaven, and he can't act according to his own likes and dislikes. Even if you don't like it in your heart, you won't take action against you, so as not to fall into your mouth. ”

Chen Yuanzhao said directly, and Xu Zhengying was also calm: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens." I'm preparing for the worst now. If there is a day, at least the family will not be implicated. ”

Chen Yuanzhao looked at Xu Zheng and said meaningfully: "In the past few years, you will inevitably suffer some grievances, and the emperor will not reuse you." After getting through the past few years, you will have a good future. ”

Xu Zheng only thought that Chen Yuanzhao was comforting himself, and sighed with a smile: "Say something rebellious." Even if the emperor returns to heaven and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will never have a good impression of me, the champion who refuses to be a concubine. I don't dare to think about what a great future it is. I just hope that I can live in peace and not make any more trouble. ”

Chen Yuanzhao tugged at the corners of his lips. Didn't say anything more.

Xu Zheng had a heartfelt matter, and the whole person was a lot more relaxed: "You came all the way here, and you have to rush back to the barracks, it's really hard, I won't keep you more." ”

Chen Yuanzhao didn't move, and glanced at Xu Zheng

Xu Zheng came to his senses, coughed and said, "If you are not in a hurry to leave." I'm going to see my sister. ”

Chen Yuanzhao's brows furrowed: "It's okay." ”

Chen Yuanzhao drove into Xu Jinyu's courtyard with ease.

Xu Jinyu sat on the swing in the yard, swinging slowly. Seeing Chen Yuanzhao striding in, Xu Jinyu was not surprised at all. He smiled at him.

Spring is warm, and the spring breeze is slow. The branches are lush and the leaves are verdant.

The girl on the swing smiled skillfully, and the light green skirt fluttered in the wind.

Chen Yuanzhao's cold face instantly softened a lot. Walk to the swing. Naturally, I took over the beauty difference of pushing the swing. Early summer and rue retreated to the eaves of the porch.

Xu Jinyu didn't ask anything, and Chen Yuanzhao didn't say anything, and with a little force, he pushed the swing high and flew high.

Xu Jinyu exclaimed, and immediately a string of cheerful laughter overflowed from her mouth.

Chen Yuanzhao's heart was full of unfamiliar softness. This is probably the so-called quiet years! I wish time had stood still forever in this moment

When the swing stopped, Xu Jinyu's forehead and palms were already sweating, and she turned her head to look at him, and her voice was coquettish: "You pushed so high." It really scared the hell out of me. What if I accidentally fall off and break my face? ”

No matter how calm and rational a girl is, she will become squeamish in front of her sweetheart.

This is because you know very well what you mean in the other person's heart. Even if it is unreasonable, the other party must be willing to spoil him.

At such a time, the man who understands the amorous situation should bow his head affectionately and say in a magnetic voice: "Even if you are out of shape, you are still the most beautiful woman in my mind." ”

It's a pity that Chen Yuanzhao never says sweetly: "With me, how can I let you fall down!" ”

Typical Chen Yuanzhao-style answer.

Xu Jinyu wanted to keep a straight face, but a thick smile appeared in her eyes: "I won't talk nonsense with you." Big brother has already told you everything just now! ”

Chen Yuanzhao nodded and said, "I told him, don't worry too much." Even if the emperor looks at my face, he will not embarrass him. ”

Chen Yuanzhao's life history is secret, and very few people know it. If Xu Zheng knew that Chen Yuanzhao was actually the emperor's illegitimate son, he probably wouldn't be so worried.

Chen Yuanzhao and Xu Jinyu got married, and Xu Zheng was Chen Yuanzhao's eldest brother. In terms of blood relationship, the Xu family is also the emperor's in-laws. No matter how unhappy the emperor is, it is impossible for him to do anything to the Xu family.

Xu Jinyu was a little flustered at first, but when she calmed down, she figured out the truth and smiled with a smile.

Chen Yuanzhao didn't know what he thought, and suddenly said: "A few days ago, Mo Yuanju was missing a pair of old shoes. ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

Doesn't it mean that Chen Yuanzhao rarely returns to Moyuanju and will never notice such a trivial "trivial matter"?

Chen Yuanzhao looked at Xu Jinyu's blushing face, his heart rippled, and there was a little more smile in his lowered voice: "Dare to ask Miss Xu, do you know where these old shoes went?" ”

Ask while knowing the answer! It's annoying!

Xu Jinyu's face was hot, and she pretended to respond calmly: "Your birthday is coming, I made a new dress for you." Rue Xiang suggested that I make a new pair of shoes, find someone to go back to the house and quietly bring a pair of your old shoes, and I will make you new shoes in the same way as the old shoes. I originally thought that I would wait for the day of your birthday to be sent over and give you a surprise. Now that you know, I'll just give it to you now. ”

As he spoke, he shouted to Chu Xia to come over: "Early Summer, wrap the new clothes and shoes I made and bring them over." ”

Chu Xia was a little stunned, and blurted out: "But, didn't Miss want to surprise the general?" "What other surprises are there to give it away like this?

Xu Jinyu glared at Chu Xia with disgust: "Go and get it." ”

The early summer was a scornful response.

Chen Yuanzhao, who realized it later, realized how bad his behavior was just now.

Xu Jinyu secretly prepared a birthday gift. When you unexpectedly appear in front of your eyes on your birthday, how surprising and beautiful it should be. How could he have said it early?

It's so incomprehensible!

Chen Yuanzhao had a rare introspection, and was silent for a moment before whispering: "This gift is better left with you first." It's never too late to give it to me on my birthday. ”

Xu Jinyu was originally a little annoyed, but when she heard Chen Yuanzhao coaxing herself in such a low voice, she couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh: "I was going to give it to you, what does it matter if you like it in advance, as long as you like it." ”

"Like! Of course I do! Chen Yuanzhao replied without thinking: "It's the clothes and shoes you made yourself, how could I not like it." ”

Early summer quickly wrapped up my clothes and shoes and brought them over.

Chen Yuanzhao took the package. I want to open it. I heard Xu Jinyu say: "Don't open it, go back and look at it." "I'm so embarrassed to open the package in front of her.

Chen Yuanzhao was particularly obedient this time. Immediately responded.

The time together is always so short.

Although Chen Yuanzhao didn't want to leave, it was a pity that there was still something in the barracks and he had to go back. Before leaving, he kissed Xu Jinyu's forehead in front of Chu Xia and Ruxiang: "I'll come to see you again in a few days." ”

Xu Jinyu didn't expect Chen Yuanzhao to be so bold. A tender face suddenly turned crimson.

After Chen Yuanzhao left. Xu Jinyu pretended to be calm and went back to the house, and then did not show up all afternoon

King Qin also soon learned of Xu Zheng's refusal to be a colt, and in addition to anger, there was also an unknown joy in his heart.

If Xu Zheng was a colt and his brother-in-law, he would have to immediately extinguish his thoughts. Xu Zheng himself refused the matter, which was good news for him

Thinking of Xu Zheng's deep affection for Miss Cao's family. would rather anger the emperor than be a concubine, King Qin's heart was sour. The hateful thing is that he is not qualified to eat this idle vinegar now.

Then I think of a silly sister who is infatuated. King Qin was a little distressed again.

As a princess, she has been supported by everyone since she was a child, and Murong Xiang has never suffered such a blow. I've been sick intermittently, and I don't know if I can withstand such a blow again.

The next afternoon, King Qin entered the palace.

As soon as he entered Princess Anning's bedroom, King Qin furrowed his brows.

The palace maids lost their smiles on their faces, and they hurried one by one. There was a strong smell of medicine wafting from the dormitory, and several skilled doctors in the hospital were also there

"Xue Qing," King Qin called Princess An Ning's personal palace maid, and asked with a calm face, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”

Xue Qing, who had served Princess An Ning all night without closing her eyes, her face was haggard, her eyes were red, and she reported tremblingly: "If you go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor and Concubine Xian Niangniang came last night. Concubine Xian told the princess that Xu Gongzi refused to be a concubine, and the princess was so angry that she fainted at that time."

After Princess An Ning fainted, the emperor immediately summoned the imperial doctor to treat Princess An Ning. It was acupuncture and medicine again, and it was tossed until the middle of the night that Princess An Ning woke up leisurely.

After waking up, no matter how everyone persuaded her, Princess An Ning never opened her mouth to speak. Just lying straight on the bed.

The emperor was angry at first, but when he saw his daughter's appearance, he couldn't help but feel distressed. He didn't want to reprimand anything, but only told everyone to serve well.

Xue Qing said, her eyes glistening: "The slave maid brought the medicine in just now, and the princess refused to drink it at all." The slave maid tried all kinds of persuasion to no avail, and she was thinking about letting people report to the virtuous concubine! ”

King Qin frowned: "I'll go first and take a look." ”

King Qin and Princess An Ning are siblings, and their feelings are naturally far better than others.

When King Qin saw Princess An Ning, whose face was as pale as paper, as if she had lost her soul, his heart was clenched. Princess An Ning's eyes were glazed, as if she hadn't seen King Qin. King Qin shouted a few times, but Princess An Ning didn't hear it.

King Qin's brows furrowed even tighter.

"Xiang'er," King Qin sat on the edge of the bed, lowered his head slightly, and his eyes fell on Princess An Ning's bloodless face: "I heard Xue Qing say just now, you don't even want to drink the medicine." When you do this, you are tossing your own body, and it will only make the people who feel sorry for you anxious. Xu Zheng would not have known at all. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have the slightest pity for you. What he likes is Miss Cao's family, and for Miss Cao's sake, he even dares to refuse his father's marriage, and he doesn't care about you at all."

The sharp words, like ruthless arrows, pierced Princess An Ning's fragile chest.

Princess An Ning's body shrank for a moment, and tears welled up in an instant. Tears slid down her pale cheeks, pitiful.

King Qin was ruthless and continued: "He has no intention of you, and you don't have to pay any attention to him. Forget about him earlier. There are many good men in the world, you are the most noble princess of the Dayan Dynasty, why worry about not finding Ruyi Langjun"

Princess An Ning choked up intermittently: "However, I only like Xu Zheng. ”

It is true that there are many outstanding teenagers in the world, but none of them are Xu Zheng.

King Qin was speechless, and couldn't help but think in his heart. Yes, Xu Zheng is unique. No matter how good others are, where can they compare to the person they like in their hearts?

One of the brothers and sisters cried, the other was silent, but the person they missed in their hearts was the same

Soon, Concubine Ji Xian also came.

The marriage failed, but was angrily reprimanded by the emperor, and the daughter fainted because of it. This incident came together, and in just two days, Concubine Ji Xian was much older.

When Concubine Ji Xian saw the crying daughter of pear blossoms with rain, the resentment and resentment in her heart surged up, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiang'er, don't worry, the mother concubine will definitely take this bad breath for you." This Xu Zheng, so ignorant and bold, I will never spare him! ”

With such a resentful tone, Princess An Ning and King Qin were terrified together.

"Mother, this matter is not Xu Zheng's fault." Princess An Ning hurriedly opened her mouth: "He and Miss Cao have a similar affection, and they have a marriage contract first." His refusal to be a colt shows that he is strong, brave, honest, and upright. The daughter was just sad and unblessed to be his wife, but she didn't blame him in her heart. ”

King Qin also opened his mouth and said: "Everyone knows that Xu Zheng's refusal to marry is in an uproar, and everyone is paying attention to our reaction. The mother concubine must not act rashly at this time, so as not to fall into the mouth. lest the father and emperor dislike it. ”

The two brothers and sisters actually interceded for Xu Zheng together.

Concubine Ji Xian was quite surprised, and the anger in her heart gradually faded.

However, Xu Zheng must not be let go. Otherwise, where would the face of their mother and son exist?

"Okay, I'll let him go for now."

A chill flashed in Concubine Ji Xian's eyes, and her voice was cold and vicious: "After waiting for this limelight, I will secretly design, first let him win or lose his reputation and gain a foothold in the court." I want to see if the Cao family is willing to marry their daughter to him at that time! ”

Princess Anning's heart sank when she heard this: "Mother Concubine"

"Alright, don't say anything." Concubine Ji Xian's face changed very quickly, and she immediately became a loving mother: "Your body is not well, and you fainted again, and you are getting weaker and weaker." You can rest in peace and recuperate, and you must not hurt your body. ”
