Chapter 19: Rejecting Fan Li
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the hall except Fan Li were shocked.
They all knew that King Yue and Fan Li had entered the Wu Palace and served as slaves to King Wu for three years, but they didn't expect that these three years would come like this!
Ji Gongzi frowned and scolded the entourage, and apologized to King Yue, but the hall was still silent, and the needle drop could be heard.
At this time, Fan Li raised his glass and got up, and said: "King Wu is benevolent, he didn't kill us all, and lent us grain seeds, and my king's life was also given by King Wu, and King Wu is really the biological father and benefactor of the people of the upper and lower monarchs of the Yue Kingdom." If the father and benefactor are sick, how can a courtier not take care of him? I believe that even if it takes the blood of my king to cure King Wu, my king will not hesitate to treat him. ”
Ji Gongzi echoed his face a few times, which made the atmosphere of the hall ease a little.
Although King Yue's face was a little bad, he still tried to maintain a smile and drank a drink with Ji Gongzi. Then he continued: "Ji Gongzi, you just said that Miss Muli is a beautiful jade, so what do you mean ......?"
Ji Gongzi sat in his place and returned: "Queen Wu's harem concubines are sparse, and I heard that King Yue is selecting beauties and wants to offer, so he sent me to see King Yue's eyes. At present, Mu Li is an outstanding girl, so she must not have to spend too much time training, so it is better to send it directly to Wu to accompany my king. ”
King Yue pondered for a moment, called Mu Li forward, and asked, "Mu Li, the widow asked you." King Wu wants you to go to Wu to accompany King Wu now, are you ready? ”
After that, King Yue stared at Mu Li with blazing eyes, and Xi Shi heard that King Yue's words were in his words.
Mu Li obviously also heard the deep meaning of King Yue, she raised her head to look at King Yue, and her gaze returned firmly: "Mu Li has been prepared since he entered the palace. ”
King Yue nodded with satisfaction, and said to Ji Gongzi: "Ji Gongzi, the widow will let Mu Li clean up for the past few days, and then set off with you to return to Wu Kingdom." Other than that...... The remaining three Yue girls, can Ji Gongzi feel satisfied? ”
Ji Gongzi said bluntly: "The remaining three beauties still need to go through more training, not to mention that there is a little girl mixed in it, let them enter the Wu Palace in a few years." ”
As he spoke, Ji Gongzi cast a playful look at Xi Shi, and the corners of his lips also outlined a hint of a mocking arc.
Xi Shi gritted his teeth, remembering that he had embarrassed himself in public just now, and now he was saying that she was still a little girl in public...... It's really, intolerable!
Xi Shi didn't have the courage to refute him in public, so he could only silently turn his eyes into knives, and stared at Ji Gongzi fiercely, but unfortunately his appearance was soft and cute, and with his fierce expression, he could only make people feel that she was like a little milk cat with teeth and claws.
When Ji Gongzi saw Xi Shi's reaction, his heart rose a little brisk sweetness, so he said deliberately: "If you let this little girl enter the Wu Palace now, I don't know if she will cry and cry at night and say that she is homesick, I am afraid that my king will have to chase, hug, and coax her day and night." ”
After speaking, Ji Gongzi laughed.
Everyone knew that he was laughing at Xi Shi, so they all followed suit and looked at Xi Shi with a smile in their eyes, and even Sister Zheng Dan covered her mouth and smiled.
Although Xi Shi and Zheng Dan are almost a few years old, they really look young because of their soft and cute appearance. Although she usually deliberately makes a quiet and calm appearance, but when Ji Gongzi said this today, everyone really realized that she was actually a little girl......
Xi Shi felt that there were many people looking at her now, so she hurriedly cooperated with everyone's appetite, made a puffing appearance, and said, "King, I will be in time in another year!" ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone burst into laughter, saying that Xi Shi is really a child's heart, delicate and lovely......
Xi Shi made a simple look and looked left and right, but Yu Guang glanced at Fan Li sitting behind the table silently and frowning and looking at the other side. Glancing at King Yue again, King Yue was looking at her with a smile, but there were many things hidden in his eyes that she couldn't understand. Finally, he glanced at Ji Gongzi opposite Fan Li, but saw Ji Gongzi holding his head and looking at him with a smile.
This strange man...... Shih Tzu thought to himself.
Fortunately, everyone soon talked about other places, and the Yue girls retreated. If he stays any longer, Xi Shi feels that he can no longer pretend to be innocent. Sure enough, with a immature face, it is easy to remove the defense of others, make the other party take themselves lightly, and it will be much easier to act.
After leaving the palace, Mu Li called Zheng Dan and said, "Zheng Dan, I will leave for Wu in a few days." If you're all right, come with me back to my yard, and I'll teach you the rest of the swordsmanship. ”
Zheng Dan looked at Xi Shi, and Xi Shi hurriedly said, "It's okay Sister Zheng Dan, you can go." ”
Zheng Dan nodded, and after telling Yin Shisan to take care of Xi Shi, he left with Mu Li.
Xi Shi looked at the back of Zheng Dan's sister, and remembered that when she first met Zheng Dan's sister, she told herself that it was her face that made people feel protective when they saw it, which made her can't wait to be friends with her. Every time she helps herself get rid of the bad boys, she also feels extra proud and proud. Over time, Xi Shi has become accustomed to standing behind Sister Zheng Dan and watching her sense of accomplishment in protecting herself. And she herself is used to making weak and innocent gestures from time to time.
Xi Shi walked with his head down while thinking, thinking that there was Yin Shisan behind him, so he didn't bother to look at the road, but he didn't expect to bump into a person while walking, and that person still had a little smell of alcohol.
Xi Shi hurriedly covered his head and wanted to take a few steps back: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my ......"
Xi Shi hadn't finished speaking, and when he was about to push back, the hand covering his head was grabbed by the man, and Xi Shi hurriedly looked up.
It's Fan Li.
Xi Shi said dumbfoundedly: "General Fan, why did you come out?" Weren't you still ...... just now?"
Before he finished speaking, Fan Li pulled Xi Shi over and hugged him tightly in his arms, and the smell of wine on his body also came to his nose.
Xi Shi was nervous and didn't dare to speak, and after a long time, he heard Fan Li say sullenly: "You don't look at the road when you walk, you believe so much that the old thirteen will protect you." ”
Xi Shi sighed, and before he could answer, he heard Fan Li whisper again: "Fang is still in the palace and the envoy is eye-catching." You little girl, can you be honest? ”
After hearing this, Xi Shi hurriedly pushed Fan Li away, frowned and said, "General Fan is so strange when he speaks. ”
Fan Li was pushed by her, but she seemed to be very injured, and her eyes were lost and sad.
Xi Shi said with a heart: "First, I am not General Fan's person, and I ask General Fan to respect himself in the future." Second, Brother Yin is very protective of me, and I do believe in him very much. Third, don't use the word 'eyebrows and eyebrows' to me inexplicably. ”
Fan Li was stunned when he heard it, and only after half a ring did he say, "I'm sorry...... It's that I don't know what to do. ”
Xi Shi thought that he had decided to reject Fan Li before, so he didn't want to entangle with him anymore, so he always planned to find an opportunity to make it clear to him. But thinking of Fan Li's bothering to help her find her parents, her heart softened a little, and her tone of voice became gentler: "I'm sorry, General Fan, my words are a little excessive, but I don't like people to get drunk, so I smell the smell of alcohol on your body, and I overstepped it for a while, please don't blame the general." ”
Fan Li seemed a little at a loss, and saw him take half a step back before saying, "It's okay...... Shih Tzu, you don't have to be so polite to me. ”
Xi Shi replied: "General Fan, thank you very much for taking care of me and looking up to me. But Xi Shi is a person who is going to Wu Kingdom, and he doesn't know whether he will live or die in the future. Therefore, thanks to General Fan's love, Xi Shi was blessed. ”
Fan Li just wanted to take a step forward, but immediately stopped, and said again: "I said, if you don't want to go, I can ask the king for you." ”
Xi Shi immediately returned: "I won't leave Sister Zheng Dan to go to Wu alone." ”
Fan Li pondered for a moment and said softly: "Then, I'll wait for you to come back, okay?" ”
A gust of wind blew gently, blowing these words into Xi Shi's heart, and also blowing her cough.
Fan Li hurriedly untied his cloak to put it on Xi Shi, but remembered that she said that she hated the smell of alcohol, so she stopped in place again.
Seeing this, Yin Shisan gently draped the cloak that had been prepared for Xi Shi, and patted Xi Shi's back by the way to help her smooth out.
Xi Shi felt a gentle heat coming from behind him, and instantly felt a lot more comfortable, so he turned his head and thanked Yin Shisan.
Fan Li's eyes were dark and uncertain, and he squinted at Yin Thirteen, who was calm and calm, as if he hadn't seen it.
Xi Shi tightened his cloak and replied to Fan Li: "I'm just a little girl now, General Fan likes me if he likes it, and I like General Fan if I like it." But when I follow Sister Zheng Dan into the Kingdom of Wu a few years later, I will hand over my body to King Wu, and at that time, I don't want to put anyone in my heart anymore, otherwise I will feel disgusting. Besides, since he is a person who wants to do great things, why should he really fall in love with someone and add so many worries and troubles to himself? ”
Fan Li was dumbfounded, smiled bitterly twice, and said, "You can think about it." So, that's the rejection of me? ”
Xi Shi took a deep breath, saluted Fan Li, and said, "General Xie is very kind." ”
After that, Xi Shi took Yin Thirteen and left directly.
Xi Shi, who returned to the courtyard, sat on the stone bench and looked at the golden full moon in the sky, thinking about whether his words were appropriate, and thinking about Fan Li's reaction.
Do you like Fan Li? Maybe you like it, who wouldn't like a young general who is both civil and military, has a good figure and appearance, and has no problems with his temper and personality?
But I don't like it that much, he often says love at first sight, and he always feels like seeing it here. And he never thought that he would choose to stay in Yue Guo and stay by his side because of him. Especially on the incense burner peak, hearing what the text said, "It is worthy of the woman that General Fan fancies" and "Women should not be too smart", as well as what Fan Li said to her today that she and Ji Gongzi "eyebrows", these words made her feel very uncomfortable to listen to, so the tone of what she said to Fan Li today was also very heavy.
But Xi Shi thought about it, it is good to make it clear, and when it is broken, it will be broken, so as to save trouble in the future.
