Chapter 57: Wishful thinking
"Girl, your chess move...... Why has it changed so much lately? After Yu Chi Longcheng fell, he looked at Wen Di strangely, "Something must have happened, right?" ”
Wen Di glanced up at Yu Chi Longcheng and shook his head calmly: "Your Majesty, Wen Di didn't change his chess path because something happened. It's because Wen Di feels that if you blindly tolerate and defend, you can't win, not to mention, sometimes, it will hurt yourself. ”
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her, this girl, when did you get to know each other like this......
Wen Di didn't say much, his eyes looked at his nose, his nose looked at his heart, and he quietly picked up a son from the chess box and put it in a new position: "Your Majesty, it's your turn." ”
rushed all the way down, and Wen Di actually won the emperor's half of the eyes.
Yu Chi Longcheng felt even more incredible: "Girl, your chess skills have made a lot of progress!" ”
Wen Di glanced up at him, quickly got up from his seat, and knelt down in front of him: "Concubines are courageous, please forgive the emperor!" ”
She lowered her head and knelt there obediently, not saying much, not saying much, Yu Chi Longcheng felt more and more that this girl was thoughtful.
"Girl, get up, you haven't told me yet, what are your crimes?" Yu Chi Longcheng looked at her with a smile and asked.
"The concubine must first ask the emperor for guilt, and the emperor forgives the concubine for not guilty, and the concubine dares to continue." Wen didn't raise the head of the flute, but just said loudly.
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he laughed and said, "Girl, it's interesting." Rise up and speak, and I will forgive you without sin. ”
Wen Di got up, lowered his head and said: "The concubine actually killed in front of the emperor, so she begged the emperor for forgiveness." Please forgive the emperor for the crime of disrespect to his concubines. ”
"Heh, what a big disrespect, you should tell me?" Yu Chi Longcheng looked at Wen Di with interest, but his tone was neither happy nor angry, and he was very usual.
Wen Di glanced at him, then lowered his head and said: "On the chessboard, there is the field." Wen Di and His Majesty's two armies confronted each other, and they actually slaughtered on a large scale, facing His Majesty's swords and soldiers. As a courtier, he was supposed to assist His Majesty, but he turned against His Majesty with military power, which was a great disrespect to the courtier. ”
Yu Chi Longcheng looked at her and smiled lightly: "Girl, this is just a game of chess, but you think a lot!" ”
Wen Di was slightly stunned, and immediately knelt down to thank him and said, "Concubine Xie Emperor for his grace of not sinning!" ”
Yu Chi Longcheng said again: "Girl, why are you thankful again?" ”
Wen Di raised his head, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "The emperor also said that this is just a game of chess, the so-called king has no jokes, the emperor regards it as entertainment, and he will not blame the concubines." ”
"Hahahaha!" Yu Chi Longcheng laughed and said, "You girl, you have sharp teeth, but you are even better than your old man." Sit down and talk. ”
Thanking him, he put his hands on his knees, and looked up at Yu Chi Longcheng.
Yu Chi Longcheng smiled and took the lead in speaking: "Girl, let's not talk about this game of chess, but how about state affairs?" ”
Wen Di lowered his eyes when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the concubine is not Your Majesty's courtier, but also a woman, talking about state affairs in vain, and the crime will be added to the first degree." ”
Yu Chi Longcheng waved his hand and said: "No, you and I are sitting together, I asked you to say it today, it's not that you are arrogant, no one will blame you." ”
Wen Di glanced up at him, then nodded and said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”
Yu Chi Longcheng raised his head, looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and said with emotion: "Girl, what do you think, how is my country?" ”
Hearing this, Wen Di's heart moved slightly: The emperor's words are strange, commenting on the country is to comment on the emperor's rule, how can she answer so that she will not be wrong?
After thinking for a moment, Wen Di replied: "The country is picturesque, and the sky is mighty." ”
When Yu Chi Longcheng heard this, he pointed at her and shook his head and said, "Girl, you pat my ass." ”
Wen Di raised his head and denied it: "Your Majesty, Wen Di's words are true, how can you say that you are a sycophant?" ”
Seeing that the emperor looked like he was waiting for her to answer, Wen Di paused and said: "Although the concubines have never visited the rivers and mountains of the dynasty in vain, they can see the colorful butterflies flying and the flowers in this imperial garden, and the picturesque scenes." Seeing that His Majesty had the majesty of the emperor that day, he was naturally a great celestial authority, so he had this evaluation. ”
Yu Chi Longcheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, good, good, I have the right to believe it." Then, he turned his head and pointed to his garden, saying, "Girl, do you know who fought for me in this picturesque country?" ”
Wen Di's heart tightened again: everyone knew that Wei Chi Longcheng was able to leap from an unknown prince to the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and General Huang Minlong made great contributions. In recent years, wars have been frequent, and it was Chi Jincheng, the seventeenth prince, who charged for him to keep this great river and mountain. His question was clearly directed at these two men.
Yu Chi Longcheng looked at her, waiting for her answer.
However, Wen Di replied with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, this country belongs to Your Majesty, and naturally it is fought down by Your Majesty's heavenly might." If you rely on others, how can you say that it is your country? ”
As soon as she said this, Yu Chi Longcheng was obviously stunned, and then laughed: "Girl, girl, you are really smart!" ”
Hearing him say this, Wen Di secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he was guessing in his heart. I heard that General Huang Minlong and Wei Chi Jincheng originally had an extraordinary relationship, and the emperor was jealous of Huang Minlong, but he doted on his seventeenth prince. Judging from the question just now, I naturally want to get some words from Wen Di so that I can know what the relationship between the two of them is.
Her answer was not leaky, and the emperor had no way to speculate, it could only be said that she temporarily protected Captain Chi Jincheng, as for what will happen in the future, it is still unknown.
It is said that "the birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. "In the emperor's house, can even a favored prince be jealous of the king?
Returning from the palace, Wen Di was a little worried along the way.
Looking at the emperor's meaning, it seems that Wei Chi Jincheng will not be suspected, the emperor is reminding her and asking her to pay attention.
It's just that does this mean that she should start standing in line, or does she want her to dissuade Wei Chi Jincheng from putting her own future first?
took some gadgets rewarded by the emperor and returned to the house, Wen Di went to Lin Ajiu to sit down, left some of those small things for her, and rewarded a group of people in his yard, that is, Xiao Qi, who also blushed and begged for a hairpin.
Knowing that he must have wanted to give it to Scarlet, Wendi just tugged at the corners of his mouth lightly. After bathing, Baoyue brought the food and told her that Yu Chi Jincheng had something to do at night, and sent someone to say that they would not eat together, so she simply ate two bites and put down her chopsticks.
"Master, but what's on your mind?" Baoyue looked at her with some concern.
Wen Di shook her head slightly, what she talked about with the emperor today, don't say that it is inconvenient for her to tell her, that is, Baoyue is a little girl who can't say anything, it's just a matter of increasing the incident.
Looking up at the last remaining bit of red glow in the sky, Wen Di took the jade flute with some melancholy, put it to his lips and blew it.
The flute sound is tactful and pleasant, only teaching that the moonlight is slightly inferior, the flowers are shy, and the stars are accompanied by the waning moon rising in the sky, which makes people feel a little desolate.
"I'm tired, so you can rest for yourselves." After finishing the song, Wen Di lowered his hand, turned around and entered the house, leaving only Xiao Qi and Baoyue to look at each other, and then went back to their rooms.
When she was about to take off her shirt and prepare to go to bed, her brows moved slightly, and she asked lightly: "Why are you here?" ”
Li Er was still dressed in black, stood in front of her, and said lightly: "My subordinates know that Niangniang is sad in her heart, and she has come to visit." ”
Wen Di's heart moved slightly, but he didn't look back, just said coldly: "It's late, the palace is going to bed, if there is nothing important for Guard Li, can you talk about it tomorrow?" ”
Knowing that she deliberately didn't see herself, Li Er just stood there quietly, not leaving or talking.
The two of them were at a stalemate.
Wen Di was angry, he was obviously the young man who had been meticulous to her since she was a child, understood her best, and protected her the most, why was he willing to make himself the one who was willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of the master?
Does he know that as long as he says a word, she can even ignore the task of "Soul Chasing Order" and fly away with him without hesitation!
And now, it was he who betrayed their feelings and reneged on the oath he made back then, and it was he who was not good!
Li Er silently watched her with her back to him, looking at himself motionlessly, he knew in his heart that she was angry with him!
He wanted to rush over, hug her and ask for forgiveness, kiss her palm gently, and tell her that he had not betrayed her, let alone forgotten their oath!
However, he can't!
He is the most trusted guard and brother of the Seventeenth Prince; And she is a side concubine who has a marriage contract with the seventeenth prince, even if she has ten thousand feelings with him, she can't tell it.
At the end, Wen Di couldn't help it, turned around suddenly, and glared at him angrily: "Li Er, why are you still in the room of the palace?" Could it be that this palace will personally invite you out?! ”
When she spoke, she used all her strength, and her little thin body shook slightly, her chest rose and fell violently, her fists clenched, and even her delicate face was a little pale.
Li Er was still standing there, and said lightly: "That day, I was in a hurry, I guess Niangniang still had some words to finish, and Li Er came to beg for scolding voluntarily." ”
His eyes stared at her for a moment, and he could feel his burning even through the brass mask.
Wen Di exhaled heavily, nodded indignantly, and said: "Okay, hello, since you took the initiative to beg for scolding, then this palace will be completely happy today!" ”
After speaking, she walked up to him indignantly, tilted her face slightly and said, "Since you received an order from the prince nine years ago to inspect and monitor me, why did you make such an unbreakable promise to me when I was in love with you?"
Do you know that you made my eyes and heart full of your shadow for the whole time of my life! I even cut off the long hair that I had kept for nine years on the day I couldn't escape the fate of marriage, just to make a memorial with you! ”
"Since you have no friendship with me, why do you come to me every night to teach me how to use the 'Qiankun Magic Technique', and deliberately make me obsessed with you. Do you know that you first made me feel emotional about you, and I felt that marrying into the palace was a shame for you. Later, he asked me to be tempted for you, and let me be indecisive between you and the prince, are you worthy of me and the prince by doing this? ”
When she said this, she breathed a sigh of relief indignation, looked at him again, and asked slowly: "Or do you think this kind of thing is fun, and you have a sense of accomplishment by playing with my feelings?" ”
Li Er didn't say anything, just looked down at her slightly, Wen Di couldn't see his expression, but saw the indifference in his eyes.
He couldn't respond to her for half a minute, and if he did, it was wrong. If she responds, she will be doomed. He couldn't show any love for her, and the only thing he could do was be by her side.
He did not betray their oath, he was always by her side, not as a flower giver, but as the prince's guard. He will always guard her and give her the best protection, but the only thing that is different is that he can't say love to her.
Looking at Wen Di's misty eyes, Li Er gritted his teeth tightly, and the fist behind him was almost crushed. After a while, he spit out a few words that made Wendi's heart completely cold:
"Mother, you will be wrong, everything is just your wishful thinking."
