Chapter 19: Pastries
This night, Jing Ci cried for a long time.
Qi Shan stayed with her, propped up beside her bed and coaxed sentence by sentence, "Don't cry...... Shrewd...... Don't cry anymore......"
After a long time, Jingci stopped, she lowered her head and buried her face in the pillow, and said sullenly, "Isn't the general still leaving?" ”
"I'm leaving," Qi Shan looked at the dark night outside the window, but his footsteps didn't move, and he only said dryly and suddenly, "What about the rabbit?" ”
"Rabbit?" Jing Ci thought about it, looked up and said embarrassedly, "I don't know how to raise rabbits, Mama Chen handed it over to someone to raise." ”
Qi Shan snorted, and then suddenly realized it, "You...... You don't like rabbits? ”
Jing Ci muttered, "It's not good...... Live up to the general's kindness. ”
Qi Shan understood, he boldly and recklessly gently grabbed Jing Ci's fingers on the side of the bed, looked into her eyes while she was slightly blushing, and said seriously, "It doesn't have to be like this. ”
"When I ask you what you want, I'm trying to please you, I want you to be happy, I want to give you what you really want," he said. ”
Jing Ci looked at him in a daze, and after a while, he slowly withdrew his fingers, and said very lightly, "The general is presumptuous." ”
Qi Shan's ears were red and dripping blood, he quickly withdrew his hand like a thief, his eyes drifted around the room, he got up and saluted, "Yes...... It's the minister who is abrupt. It's getting late, Your Highness rests early, and the minister will come to see Your Highness tomorrow? ”
"Okay, okay."
The door opened, and the three people who were busy setting up the door saw that General Qi Xiao, who had always been calm and calm, panicked and staggered, as if he was being chased by the wind...... Ran.
Mama Chen came in confused and said, "Qi Shizi, what's wrong?" ”
"I don't know!" Jing Ci covered his face and snickered, "I didn't know!" ”
The morning of the second day was unexpectedly not as bloody as everyone imagined.
After listening to the reply of the subordinates, Steward Liu was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand, he got up and walked around the room, but he still couldn't suppress his anger, slapped the table and said angrily, "It's too much to deceive people!" Great! ”
"What's going on?" Mama Chen walked in with a box of snacks and asked.
Steward Liu said, "I said that the eldest princess is so kind, and she came to see our Royal Highness, it turns out that she has bad intentions!" Hidden evil intentions! ”
"What do you mean?" Mama Chen panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"What else can it mean," Steward Liu said angrily, "Yesterday, the eldest princess entered the palace in the middle of the night to meet the emperor, and counted Shi Jingcong's sins in righteous words, and said that I feel sorry for our Royal Highness!" I just hate not to be replaced! sincerely, he actually coaxed the emperor! ”
"Huh? And then? ”
"Later? Hmph—"
Steward Liu gritted his teeth and said, "She said that Shi Jingcong is arrogant and willful!" Not worthy of being a child of the clan! begged to let the emperor call the shots, and passed on Shi Jingcong to her and became her son! She also kept saying that as the eldest princess, she should share her worries for the emperor and her brother, and she should personally teach her mentor Jingcong strictly, and be angry for our Royal Highness! ”
"This ...... What does she mean by that? Mama Chen was confused by this pile of words and asked, "What does she mean by passing on Shi Jingcong to the past?" Oh, what are you angry about? ”
"You're confused!" Steward Liu was so angry that he stomped his feet, pressed the fire and whispered, "Shi Jingcong passed from the royal family to Shunyang Houfu, and if King Ping ascends the throne in the future, the throne will have nothing to do with him." Obviously it is a downgrade and a punishment, but in fact? Shi Jingcong has no learning and no skills, and whoever ascends the throne in the future will not be able to take his turn! ”
"Moreover," Steward Liu said with a trembling mouth, "King Ping and the eldest princess joined forces to make this play, as if Shi Jingcong suffered a big loss and suffered a big grievance!" One move blocked the mouths of the people, and they actually told Yang Yushi that they wanted to impeach King Ping and Shi Jingcong again, but there was no way! ”
"Huh? What the! How so! Mama Chen slowly understood at this time, she put down the snack in her hand, clapped her hands and stomped her feet anxiously, "This, what can I do about this?" Our Highness's grievances have been in vain? ”
"Who's to say it isn't?" After Liu Guan finished the incident, he slowly calmed down, he moved to the desk, raised his pen and quickly wrote two letters, one sent to the southwest and the other to the palace.
After doing this, he returned to his old amiable appearance, pointed to the dim sum on the table and said, "What is this?" ”
"Oh, this is the dim sum sent by Qi Shizi just now, the jade jasper cake from Zhenbao Zhai."
"To Your Highness?" Steward Liu reached out and touched the box, looked up and wondered, "What is he...... Could it be that he is interested in our Highness? ”
"That's right," Mama Chen nodded, frowning, "I see the same." ”
"But he still has a marriage contract, what does it mean?"
"Who knows?" Mama Chen said, "Our Royal Highness is of noble birth, and you must not serve a husband with her," and she continued, "Speaking of which, didn't you tell the master about this a long time ago?" What does the lord say? ”
"Alas, what the lord means depends on who His Royal Highness likes, besides, the lord has seen the Qi Shizi in Qingzhou, and he has a good impression of him."
"In this way, Qi Shizi is also a good match, but this marriage contract is just a matter of it...... Alas, it's hard to do. ”
"It's okay," Steward Liu said, "This matter can still be discussed in the long run, you can send this snack to His Highness first." ”
Mama Chen said "yes", took the snacks and left, and before she entered the Beijing resignation room, she heard a burst of talking from inside.
It was Jing Han and Lin Ruowei who came early in the morning.
Both of them were frightened yesterday, and they were both wrapped in thick cloaks at the moment, Jing Han held a hand stove, shrunk his neck and said, "Third sister, are you still in pain?" ”
"It must hurt so much," Lin Ruo said with slightly red eyes, "Look at her, her eyes are swollen like walnuts, and she must have been so painful that she couldn't sleep last night." ”
Jing Ci held his forehead and said in his heart, I really didn't sleep well last night, but ...... It's all to blame on General Qi!
Hum!
Hearing this, Jing Han hurriedly approached her, took a closer look, and said with a crying voice, "That's it!" The third sister suffered, and they all blamed that Shi Jingcong! Third sister, don't worry, my father will be back in a few days, and I will ask my father to give you a breath when the time comes! ”
Jing Ci smiled and said, "Okay." ”
Lin Ruowei said again, "You are so badly injured, what if you have a scar in the future?" ”
Mama Chen happened to walk in, she put down her snack and said, "Girl, don't worry, Your Highness's injury is just bad, fortunately, it's cold and she wears thick clothes, but she just scratches her skin, and it will be fine in two days." The doctor in the house also prescribed a plaster, saying that it would not leave a scar. ”
"Then I still remember, the third sister vomited blood? Can it hurt your spleen and lungs? ”
"No," Mama Chen said, "I was suddenly frightened and under heavy pressure, and I couldn't bear it for a while, and I didn't hurt my body." ”
"That'll be fine."
Jing Han and Lin Ruowei nodded, and then accompanied Jing Ci to talk, and seeing that she was really tired, they got up and went back.
After they left, Mama Chen took out the box of dim sum and handed it to Jing Ci and said, "Your Highness to taste it?" ”
"No," Jing Ci glanced at, "I don't like to eat jade jasper cakes." ”
"Okay, the slave and maid take it away," Mama Chen accepted the pastries, got up and made a look like she was leaving, and said slowly, "It's just a pity that Qi Shizi has a good intention......
"Oops! Momma! ”
Mama Chen turned around, and saw Jing Ci tilting her head, trying to reach the hem of her clothes with her hands stretched out.
Mama Chen said, "Your Highness doesn't like to eat this?" ”
"Somehow," Jing Ci blushed and his eyes wandered, "I suddenly thought...... Give it a try. ”
