188. The difference between two men
"It's just a palace maid." Mu Lingtian said indifferently.
"Could it be Feng Shuang?" Cheng Tiantian asked in surprise.
In the past, her leg was injured, and when Mu Lingtian asked Feng Shuang to take care of her, she always felt that the palace maid was a little different, taciturn but quick-witted, capable and orderly. A little palace maid, stunned to give her a feeling of a strong woman.
"It doesn't matter who she is, she's just putting on a show. Tiantian, you don't have to pay too much attention to this. Mu Lingtian didn't answer Cheng Tiantian's words directly, and passed it lightly.
"But I think you're as good to her as you were to me." Cheng Tiantian bit her lower lip lightly and said in a low voice.
Thinking of the scene when he met Mu Lingtian in Xiangyun Palace that day, especially the gentle eyes he looked at the little snow girl, she always felt uncomfortable in her heart, a little sour.
"Hehe, that's all fake, I just said that it was for show, mainly to show King Jing. Tiantian, I only have you in my heart, and I will only be good to you alone, don't you still believe me? Mu Lingtian shook her hand lightly and said gently.
"Well, I believe you." Cheng Tiantian nodded and said, feeling that the thin dark clouds that had lingered in his heart in the past two days had easily drifted away.
But then she remembered that day in Xiangyun Palace, she and Mu Lingxuan kissed and was seen by Mu Lingtian, and she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, and couldn't help but sigh and explain: "The eldest prince, in fact, I and the prince...... You want me to come back, like that...... Sometimes...... I can't ...... either."
This is probably the most difficult and unfluent sentence that Cheng Tiantian has ever said when he is so big, stammering and incoherent. She didn't know if Mu Lingtian understood, but she really didn't know how to say it more clearly.
Mu Lingtian's face instantly changed several colors, and his eyes became even deeper, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.
After a long time, he slowly spit out a sentence: "You are originally husband and wife, you don't need to tell me this." ”
"Oh......" Cheng Tiantian sighed, lowered his head slightly, and didn't know what to say anymore.
Mu Lingtian's attitude, is it generosity? But why do I always feel weird, as if something is wrong?
If a man is in love with a woman, and that woman loves him, will he watch her intimate with another man and not care? Logically speaking, this should not be the case. Even a man like Mu Lingxuan knows how to be jealous, as well as Xiaolan and Ji Feng, they used to be like this, and they didn't like to see themselves getting too close to other men.
Why is Mu Lingtian different? He said that he loved himself, but he insisted on letting himself return to Mu Lingxuan's side.
Alas, is it possible that people who want to do big things are so careless about their feelings? Even if you let your loved one be by someone else's side all day long, you are indifferent?
"Sweet." Seeing that Cheng Tiantian didn't speak for a long time, Mu Lingtian opened his mouth and called her.
"Huh?" Cheng Tiantian came back to her senses from her chaotic thoughts and looked up at Mu Lingtian.
"Actually, I happened to tell you something today." Mu Lingtian said solemnly.
"What's the matter?" Cheng Tiantian asked.
"This year, there has been a rare drought in the northern part of the country, the land is dry, the crops are not growing, and the people and livestock have problems drinking water. My father asked King Jing and I to come up with a set of plans to deal with the drought in the north as soon as possible, and see who was more reasonable and effective. Mu Lingtian said in a deep voice.
"Do you want me to probe Mu Lingxuan's mind? See what he's going to do? Cheng Tiantian immediately understood what Mu Lingtian meant.
"Yes, Tiantian, you can roughly figure out the content of his plan and tell me first, if I win him this time, I will win." Mu Lingtian looked at Cheng Tiantian and said clearly.
"Well, does it have to be like this? Maybe you had a better plan than he did. Cheng Tiantian sighed slightly, feeling faintly uneasy in her heart, she always felt that it was a very disgraceful thing to steal information like this.
"Tiantian, I have to be completely sure, you know I can't lose. So, you have to help me. Mu Lingtian looked at her more intently, his eyes deep and bright.
Cheng Tiantian couldn't help biting her lip again, and after a while, she nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll help you, but I don't know if he will say this to me?" ”
"Don't ask him these questions directly, pay more attention when you talk to him on weekdays, or go to his study yourself and see if you can find something useful? How to do it, you just need to be smart. Mu Lingtian said entrustingly.
"I'll try to figure it out." Cheng Tiantian whispered, feeling heavy in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Tiantian, I don't want you to risk it, but, that's all I have for now." Mu Lingtian said softly, paused slightly, and then said, "Moreover, Mu Lingxuan is ...... It won't hurt you. ”
Cheng Tiantian lowered her eyes and did not speak.
Mu Lingtian couldn't help but clench her hand and said in a low voice, "Tiantian, I will always remember your kindness to me." ”
"Will I still go to Tianshui Accord to look for you then?" Cheng Tiantian pulled out his hand and asked, I don't know why? She let him shake his hand now, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, I'll be waiting for you there." Mu Lingtian was also a little disappointed when he saw Cheng Tiantian's depressed appearance, but he couldn't say more words to comfort her.
The two fell into a relatively wordless silence, and after a while, Cheng Tiantian whispered: "I'm staying at my mother's house these days, and I'll help you ask for information when I go back." ”
"Okay......" Mu Lingtian slowly spit out a word.
There was another silence, and Cheng Tiantian felt that this dull and embarrassing atmosphere made her no longer able to adapt to it, so she stood up and said, "I'll go back first." ”
"Are you afraid of walking that dark passage alone?" Mu Lingtian also stood up, and he didn't mean to keep her for a while.
Cheng Tiantian couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart, what if she was afraid? Seeing what he meant, he didn't plan to send her at all.
She didn't look at him, only said lightly: "Don't be afraid." ”
"Let's go." Mu Lingtian said, took Cheng Tiantian's hand, and led her out of the door.
Cheng Tiantian struggled slightly, because now, it is impossible for her to say that she is not a little angry with him.
Mu Lingtian held her hand tighter again, sighed softly and said, "Tiantian, I feel very sad in my heart, don't blame me......"
The pleading and sadness in his tone made Cheng Tiantian's heart soften again, after all, he saved her and accompanied and took care of her through so many lonely and helpless days. He was so estranged from her and asked her to help get information......
Cheng Tiantian followed the dark passage and returned to Tianshui Accord, the small private room was still exactly the same as when she left, the unfinished cup of tea, and the unfinished plates of dim sum were still on the table like that.
She grabbed a few more pieces of her heart and took a long sip of water. Then he walked out of the private room, settled the bill at the counter, and walked out of Tianshui Accord.
Walking alone on the crowded street again, the sun is still so bright, and the wind is still so soft. But Cheng Tiantian's mood is no longer as relaxed and bright as just now.
She finally got her wish and met Mu Lingtian, but the result she got was very different from what she imagined.
There was no joy, no excitement, and no sweetness and warmth that lovers should have when they met, and there was just a task he gave her in a businesslike manner......
Alas, what are they called? Is it considered love? Although Cheng Tiantian has never been in love, she also intuitively feels that love doesn't seem to be like this.
As she was walking back listlessly, a carriage stopped beside her, and then Mu Lingxuan's playful voice came: "Huh? Tiantian, why are we so destined? I was just thinking of you in my heart, and I looked up and saw you. ”
Cheng Tiantian turned his head and saw that Mu Lingxuan had already jumped off the carriage and stood in front of him in a dashing manner. The handsome and elegant face rippled with a smile warmer than the spring breeze: "Tiantian, do you hear my heart calling you?" So here it is. ”
"Lord Wang, I'm out shopping." Cheng Tiantian said softly, vaguely uneasy in his heart, when did he walk behind him? Will you see yourself coming out of Tianshui Accord?
"Shopping, alone?" Mu Lingxuan pretended to be surprised and raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his arms to take her into his arms: "That's it, why don't I accompany you." ”
"I'm done." Cheng Tiantian said casually, and then asked Mu Lingxuan, "Why did you come here?" ”
"Because I've counted my sweetness here." Mu Lingxuan touched her face dotingly, and said with a teasing smile: "Why are you dressed up so beautifully today?" Want to seduce me? ”
"What nonsense? Who seduced you? Cheng Tiantian couldn't help glaring at him.
"Hehe, I'm not talking nonsense, in fact, I want you to seduce me." Mu Lingxuan was still smiling good-naturedly, and looked down at her deeply: "You are just a little more beautiful today, this beaded flower is very suitable for you to wear." ”
Hearing Mu Lingxuan talk about the red jade bead flower on his head, Cheng Tiantian's heart churned strangely.
How did things turn out this way? Dressed up with his heart, the person who wanted to attract attention didn't pay attention at all, and the person who wanted him to appreciate didn't say a word. And the people I didn't want to meet, but I seemed to appreciate it very much and praised it. I really don't understand, two men, the difference is too big......
Mu Lingxuan saw that Cheng Tiantian was a little stunned, gently pinched her cheek, and asked with a smile, "Tiantian, where do you want to go now?" ”
"I'm going home for dinner." Cheng Tiantian said honestly.
Without a clock, she didn't know the time, but she felt like it wasn't too early. After waiting for Mu Lingtian for so long, he was still sitting in that small cabin for so long......
