Chapter 118: Ill-intentioned
Zhou Meng left triumphantly, but Zhou Huan stared at Qi Yu not far away with a look of watching a play.
Qi Yu coughed embarrassedly, obviously he didn't do anything, but how could he have a feeling of being caught.
"I ...... Qingqing"
Zhou Huan waved his hand, "Your Highness doesn't need to explain anything to me, I trust you." ”
Qi Yu was stunned and looked at Zhou Huan who was a few miles away, the snow of the past two days had not had time to melt, and the woman in red stood there quietly, looking at him with a deep gaze, she believed him.
"Qingqing, do you really believe me?" Qi Yu said and slowly walked into Zhou Huan's side.
The man leaned over and approached the woman in front of him, and his eyes were also a quiet lake.
Zhou Huan hooked his lips and smiled, pushing Qi Yu away, "Of course it's true, I don't think your vision is so bad." ”
"Haha." Qi Yu laughed unceremoniously, how could he not have thought that he and Zhou Huan had such a tacit understanding.
Qi Yu reached out and touched Zhou Huan's head, holding Zhou Huan's cold hand in his hand. "It's cold outside, let's go back first."
Zhou Huan nodded, "The old lady wants you to stay and have dinner together." ”
"What about Qingqing?"
"Huh?"
"Do you want me to stay?"
As the backs of the two people farther and farther away, the voices of the two people talking became farther and farther away. Zhou Ru, who had been standing behind the rockery, moved her stiff legs, it was cold in winter, and she had been standing long enough.
Originally, I just came to take a look at it casually, but I didn't expect to see such a scene.
The relationship between Zhou Huan and Qi Yu was indeed closer than she imagined, but Zhou Ru squinted her eyes, constantly thinking about Fang Cai's matter in her mind, and suddenly thought of something even more curious.
Qi Yu's performance, is he really a stupid person?
In fact, it stands to reason that Zhou Huan should have found it earlier, she has known her for too long, so she is not so sensitive to detect it.
For example, now, when Qi Yu had just sat down and sat with the Zhou family, he suddenly said in shock: "Oops, Qingqing, the jade pendant that my father gave me is missing?" ”
Jade pendant?
Zhou Huan suddenly thought of the jade pendant that was taken away by Zhou Meng today? Could it be that Qi Yu deliberately gave it to Zhou Meng?
But just when Zhou Huan was stunned, the first person to speak was Zhou Shenyuan. "Your Highness lost Changming?"
Changming is a jade pendant, which was originally a symbol of the status of the crown prince. But after the accident of the crown prince Qi Yu, the emperor was heartbroken, so this Changming has always stayed by Qi Yu's side.
Zhou Ru also sat on the main seat, listening to the conversation of several people, looking like he didn't know the height of the sky. "Changming? Father, but is it important? ”
Qi Yu's obscure eyes fell on Zhou Shenyuan for a second, and then he said with a smile: "Father said that that jade pendant can mobilize all the defenders in the capital. ”
Zhou Huan hurriedly cooperated and said, "Didn't Your Highness wear it when he came here today?" Think about it, maybe you lost it there. ”
Maybe even Zhou Huan himself didn't realize that in the entire Zhou family, Zhou Huan was the only one who didn't have so much fear of Qi Yu's attitude. Also, when Qi Yu faced her, he would not say a word about His Royal Highness.
Zhou Meng, who was sitting at the next table not far away, didn't know what was going on here, occasionally made eye contact with Zhou Huan, and looked at Zhou Huan very provocatively.
That look seemed to say, big sister, don't worry, it won't be long before your man will become my husband.
I don't know why, Zhou Huan suddenly began to dislike Zhou Meng very much. She thought maybe she hated what others were trying to get her hands on, and she didn't know how thick the sky was.
Zhou Huan smiled at Zhou Meng, who was not far away, and then said to Zhou Shenyuan: "Your Highness is really, that thing is so important, why did you bring it out casually, what if it was picked up and used by someone with a heart?" ”
And Qi Yu had already lowered his head with a guilty face, and was annoyed together.
"A person with a heart, is it a person who picks it up?"
This is indeed like a stupid person saying it, with a bit of one-sidedness, but it is very strange that the two sentences that Qi Yu said are crooked.
Zhou Huan looked at Qi Yu with a relieved face, and his eyes were to say that this is my child, and he is very sensible. But Zhou Ru, who was at the same table, didn't think so, just now she clearly saw the cunning in Qi Yu's eyes.
Is that look really something that only stupid people have?
With a snap, the chopsticks in Zhou Shenyuan's hand fell to the ground. Qi Yu is not wrong, that Changming jade pendant can mobilize the army, whether it is a person with a heart or not, if the emperor knows about it, it will inevitably be suspected of whether it is a person with a heart and did it deliberately.
"Someone!"
"Father, wait."
Zhou Huan and Zhou Shenyuan spoke at the same time, and then Zhou Huan stopped Zhou Shenyuan and told Zhou Shenyuan that it was better to search for it secretly.
After all, she can't say anything more for the Zhou family if she makes a big fuss. 33
That's right, what Zhou Shenyuan is worried about now is that the jade pendant fell on the Zhou family. This matter was accidental, but if it was used by someone with a heart, saying that the Zhou family had a heart of disobedience, how to solve the trouble.
Now that the emperor has more and more opinions about them, the princes and kings, there is no way to add to the chaos at this time.
"Your Highness, the courtiers want to toast you with a glass of wine."
Just when everyone was waiting quietly, Zhou Meng at the next table picked it up and was walked over.
Such an impudent act made Lin stunned in place, she didn't know what happened this afternoon. At this moment, Zhou Meng felt that Qi Yu had accepted himself.
As long as Qi Yu opened her mouth, she didn't believe that Zhou Huan would dare to say a word.
Seeing Zhou Meng's flattering humble smile coming over, before Qi Yu could speak, Zhou Huan backhanded the wine glass in front of Qi Yu.
"Your Highness doesn't drink well, I'll come."
Zhou Huan looked at Zhou Meng with a serious face, but Qi Yu beside her was already laughing in her heart.
Why did he feel that there was a sour smell in the air?
Zhou Meng looked like she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and after drinking two glasses of wine, she felt that the whole world should revolve around her.
"Big sister, get out of the way, how can you stop me and Your Highness."
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar. Even if Zhou Meng has thoughts, Zhou Huan is her big sister, and this is simply a shame for a family with strict etiquette.
The Lin family, who was not far away, saw Zhou Shenyuan Tieqing's face, and hurriedly got up from his seat in fright, wanting to pull Zhou Meng.
But who knows, Zhou Meng threw the Lin family and stared at Zhou Huan angrily. "Big sister, I want to listen to His Highness."
Zhou Huan shook his head helplessly, turned around and his burning gaze fell on Qi Yu's body. Qi Yu had never seen Zhou Huan look like this, as if he had said the wrong word and was about to be burned by the anger around Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan really didn't expect that Zhou Meng actually grabbed someone in front of her, or in front of everyone in the Zhou family.
She couldn't bear it.
Qi Yu got up, glanced at the wine glass in Zhou Meng's hand, and then took it. Just when everyone thought that he was really interested in Zhou Meng, the wine glass was directly thrown out by Qi Yu.
"Fourth Miss, if you make His Royal Highness Qingqing angry again, His Royal Highness will definitely not be able to spare you."
After finishing speaking, Qi Yu smiled obediently at Zhou Huan.
Zhou Huan complained in her heart, but she was very smart, and she actually threw the problem on her again. However, she shook her head indifferently, and did not look at Zhou Meng again, but pulled Qi Yu to continue to sit down.
"No, Your Highness likes it."
Zhou Huan picked up chopsticks and gave Qi Yu a dish, and the displeasure on Qi Yu's face finally decreased a lot. Zhou Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief, for the first time, he felt that there was nothing good about the family affairs of the royal family.
The people at the main table began to eat again and continued the banquet, and the farce of Zhou Meng was even more absurd.
Lin pulled Zhou Meng back to his seat, "Meng'er, you're drunk, go back and rest." ”
"No, mother, I'm very sober, not so sober for a moment."
Lin shook his head, this kid is not very stable on weekdays, but it is not like today. "Forget it, you sit in peace, and my mother will go and ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of decanting soup."
After all, Qi Yu is also here today, and the distinguished guests are here, if the Zhou family leaves early, I am afraid that the eldest master will be unhappy. After his father-in-law came back, he also wanted to blame Meng'er.
"Master Qiyu, something has been found."
Fortunately, the group of people raised by Zhou Shenyuan can also be regarded as profitable, and they came back soon.
Zhou Shenyuan breathed a sigh of relief and touched the sweat drops on his forehead. "It's good to find it, it's good to find it."
"Where's the stuff?" Qi Yu stretched out his hand arrogantly, and then the guards on the side hurriedly took the things, and when they were about to hand them to the attendants beside Qi Yu, they were suddenly stopped by a pair of hands out of thin air.
"Your Highness, this jade pendant is not ......"
"What, the fourth lady knows?" Qi Yu was the first to speak, interrupting Zhou Meng.
But the disgust in her eyes was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, but Zhou Meng didn't care about it, her mind was all about Qi Yu's tenderness this afternoon.
In fact, there is nothing, but she secretly likes Qi Yu for so long. Now that I finally got in touch with it, I naturally couldn't control it for a while.
"Your Highness, I will take good care of this jade pendant."
Zhou Shenyuan's face turned pale, "Zhou Meng, don't make trouble, return the things." After finishing speaking, the guards behind Zhou Shenyuan directly snatched it back from Zhou Meng's hands.
At this time, the girl who had been serving Zhou Meng hurriedly went over to support Zhou Meng, but who knows, Zhou Meng suddenly pushed the girl away like crazy, and then pulled out a guard's knife nearby, and rushed over regardless of whether he could do it or not.
The scene that was still scorching suddenly became chaotic, Zhou Meng brandished the knife and slashed directly in the nearest direction.
And there, standing was Zhou Huan, who hadn't had time to dodge to the side. And Zhou Huan didn't dodge it immediately, because Qi Yufang accidentally fell to the ground.
