Chapter 22: Be My Woman or Be a Stranger
The smile on Qi Zi's lips stopped for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace, he looked at Mo Ziyu's side face, turned his head to look at the scenery in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Do you still decide to leave?"
"I don't know where I'm going, so I'm always looking for it. Mo Ziyu said.
"Do you know how happy I was when I was taken away by King Pingdong and woke up to see you for the first time......? I thought you had me in your heart, even if it was just a small corner. Qi Zi licked her lips, turned around again, and held Mo Ziyu's arms, "Is it okay for you to stay? Let me take care of you? We are all helpless people, let's be each other's dependence, okay?"
Mo Ziyu shook his head gently: "Mi Zi, for me, you have always been a younger brother and a friend. ”
"I don't believe it!" said in a loud voice, his expression became fierce, the bloodshot eyes became obvious, and there were green tendons on his forehead.
He stubbornly stared at Mo Ziyu's eyes, with a slight pleading look in his eyes: "I don't believe you have never liked me in your heart." ”
Mo Ziyu looked at the young man in front of her softly, she raised her hand, gently covered his black hair, and said with a light smile: "You don't know me well enough, you don't know what kind of person I am at all." ”
"I don't care. "As long as you're around, it's enough." ”
"But we can only be friends. ”
"Don't say we're friends anymore, I've heard enough!" Qi Zi suddenly roared, he turned around and walked a few steps irritably, stared at Mo Ziyu and said, "I don't want to be your friend, and I don't want to be your brother, either you are my woman, or you and I are strangers!"
"Does it have to be like this?" The smile on Mo Ziyu's face also faded.
Mi Zi didn't speak, just looked at her stubbornly, like a lonely, angry and aggrieved little beast.
Mo Ziyu bit her lip lightly: "In this world, only feelings are reluctant." If we were strangers and could make you feel better, I would never be in front of you. ”
"Are you really so ruthless?" Qi Zi shed a teardrop, which he quickly wiped away, "Why did you approach me again and again when I was most lonely and helpless, why did you abandon me so ruthlessly when I fell in love with you and depended on you? What did I do wrong, why didn't you all want me?"
"You didn't do anything wrong, it's me who is wrong. Mo Ziyu said, "It's not that I don't want you, I just have my own way to go." ”
Mi Zi turned around, sniffed, wiped his tears, and said, "If you want to leave, I won't stop you, can you wait for me to ascend the throne before leaving?"
"Yes. Mo Ziyu replied simply.
Qi Zi didn't look back at her again, and turned to leave.
Mo Ziyu continued to look at the scenery in the palace, the wind was blowing gently, she tidied up her hair, and felt both heavy and relaxed in her heart, when she called her name in Mi Zi's dream, she realized that Mi Zi had some kind of feelings for herself, but she didn't know whether it was love or some kind of dependence on feelings, no matter which one, since it was destined to be fruitless, the more it dragged on, the deeper he might hurt, why not cut the mess quickly?
After a while, a palace maid came up and said softly: "Miss Jiang, the prince asked the slave maid to come to serve the girl! Miss Jiang, please come with the slave maid, the prince has already arranged a place for the girl to live." ”
"I have two companions. Mo Ziyu said.
"Miss Jiang rest assured, the prince has already sent someone to invite them into the palace. The palace maid lowered her eyes and said.
"What's your name?"
"Slave Autumn Warbler. ”
Then Mo Ziyu was brought to a courtyard, which was not very big or luxurious, but it was very quiet, and the green plants in the courtyard were very luxuriant, and it looked very eye-catching.
Because the palace of Southern Chu has undergone great changes, there is already a shortage of people in the palace, so there are a total of three people who came to serve Mo Ziyu, in addition to Qiu Ying, there is also a palace maid and a little eunuch.
Not long after, Lu Qiao and Qin Yi also entered the palace.
Lu Qiao whispered to Mo Ziyu: "Miss, let's not leave?"
"Nonsense!" Mo Ziyu scolded, "I promised him that it would only be a few days to see him ascend the throne and become the king of Chu, and after this matter, we will continue to find the master." ”
"Hmm. Lu Qiao nodded, "Someone just came to pick me up and Xiaoyi into the palace, it scared me, I thought the girl really planned to live in the palace!"
"This is the Southern Chu Palace, after all, we are from Northern Xia, and it is an eventful time, try not to go out, and don't make trouble. Mo Ziyu said, "In the past few days, I have taught you and Xiaoyi some medical skills, but when I was in the barracks, I was too busy to teach you well." ”
Mo Ziyu and the three of them temporarily stayed in the palace of Southern Chu, according to the news from Qiu Ying, the prince will ascend the throne on April 13 and become the king, this news has already spread, and there will be envoys from various countries to congratulate at that time.
It is only ten days before the time of ascending the throne, and the people in this palace have to be sorted out, all the people of King Yu Nan have to be cleaned out, the personnel have to be replenished, and the palace has to be repaired, and there are too many things to lose face in front of foreign envoys. And Mi Zi is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, military affairs, politics, economy, people's livelihood, the pacification of those old ministers, the temptation of those new ministers, the rewards of those meritorious heroes, and the game with those wealthy families to balance the relationship between all parties, he has to take the idea.
On this day, later in the evening, Mo Ziyu was cooking.
Lu Qiao is on the back acupuncture point, Xiao Yi knows everything after reading it once, which makes her jealous.
A look of quiet years.
Mo Ziyu smiled secretly, in the future, the three of them will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it will be good to live like this.
Qi Zi came at this time, there was no smile on his face, only exhaustion.
He looked at the warm scene in the room, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then asked the palace people who were waiting to retreat, and came to the kitchen lightly, looked at Mo Ziyu's busy back for a while, and then asked, "Do you have my share?"
Mo Ziyu turned around, smiled, and said, "Just add a pair of chopsticks." ”
Qi Zi stood with his arms crossed, like a child guarding the cooking of adults, and the anxious expression on his face slowly calmed down.
After a while, the aroma of the food came, and Lu Qiao and Qin Yi also stopped fighting, although they were not used to eating with Mi Zi, but they did not reject it.
"How is it? Have you been tired lately?" Mo Ziyu handed a pair of chopsticks to Qi Zi, "Your face doesn't look very good, do you want me to prescribe a pair of soothing medicine for you?"
"Not necessarily. Qi Zi said, "It's not that I can't sleep well, I don't have time to sleep at all, too many things to be busy, it's not so easy to be the king of a country, I need to learn too many things." ”
"Take your time, you still have a lot of time. Mo Ziyu said, "I believe that you will definitely become a good monarch." ”
As they spoke, they heard a crisp laugh, and several people looked towards the door, only to see a woman in pink walking in.
The woman is about seventeen or eighteen years old, tall, with a round face and crooked eyes, she doesn't look very beautiful, but she is also very affinity.
"I've been looking for you for a long time, but I didn't expect you to come here to be lazy!" the woman walked in, "This should be the Jiang girl that everyone often mentions, right?
Seeing Mo Ziyu's puzzled eyes, she smiled and said heartily: "I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Sun Pingling, and I am the daughter of Sun Tai, the Taifu of Nanchu, and there are too many things in the palace today, and the prince is too busy alone, so the lord of Leyi asked me to help with some things." ”
"It turned out to be Miss Sun. Mo Ziyu smiled faintly, "Fortunately." ”
"What are you looking for me?" asked Mi Zi.
"On the day of the enthronement, the dragon robe was delivered, waiting for you to try it on, and if it doesn't fit, let the tailor modify it. Sun Pingling said familiarly, "Also, I found out that the two of them are a little suspicious today, and I have asked Hao Ding to interrogate them, and there is not enough money for the renovation of the Qianling Palace, and the Ministry of Etiquette has allocated funds to your hand, and the Ministry of Rites has presented the ceremonies of the ceremony, just waiting for you to come and see it! These things are piled up, but you can't be lazy, I have to watch you do everything today, just don't sleep, these things have to be done, and they can't be delayed!"
"Come on, come on!" Qi Zi reluctantly raised his hand in surrender, "I'm afraid of you, don't nag you, I won't eat this meal, let's go and finish everything right now, it's done, right?"
"That's pretty much it. Sun Pingling said, "By the way, this morning, tomorrow morning, my father will definitely ask you about the handling of Anxian County, if you don't have a good method, he will definitely discipline you again, you have to think about it tonight!"
"Thanks to your reminder, I almost forgot about it. Qi Zi said, "In the end, I was so busy that I didn't eat it, so let's go and sort things out one by one." ”
"Well, don't panic, I'll figure it out with you. Sun Pingling said, and then the two left together.
Lu Qiao looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and said: "This Miss Sun is really a courageous person, I look at the son of the world in front of her, just like a child!"
"Taifu Sun Tai I have heard, he is a famous Confucian, and he used to be the teacher of the prince, the prince respects him very much, and this Miss Sun also has a love for growing up together, since the lord of Leyi can let her help deal with the affairs of the palace, her ability must be very outstanding. ”
