Chapter 6: The Blending of Ice and Fire
ββ¦β¦ Isn't Your Highness going to be busy? After eating half a piece of mung bean cake absent-mindedly, Zhicheng finally couldn't hold it back. Originally, she was allowed to go out, and she ate the remaining half bowl of rice extremely deliciously and quickly. After eating, he waited patiently for the slow young man for a while. But when the man had finished eating, he not only did not leave, but warmly invited her to taste the special pastry he had given her the previous night.
Honesty was getting impatient, and she couldn't wait to get out of the room now. She is not an active person, but she consciously sees this room as a cage, so no matter how comfortable it is, she doesn't want to stay for a moment.
"I'm here just to see if I can do something to settle the refugees. Now, the young queen has begun to make arrangements, and I can only stand by and watch. Ram Yichen smiled, apparently relieved that the refugees had been properly arranged.
"How did the young queen arrange all the people?" Zhicheng asked eagerly. Hearing Ram Yichen's words, she had no grievances or any uneasiness. She wanted to know now, where was Uncle Lu arranged by them?
"I don't know exactly how to arrange it, and it's hard to ask. You don't have to worry, just live here with peace of mind! Ram Yichen quietly observed the little girl's expression, and asked tentatively, "Hmm...... I asked you if you have any other relatives, and I went to ask someone to find them? β
Close relatives? I can't protect myself now, how can I pull Uncle Lu into the water again? Forget it, Uncle Lu will be settled by them. Sincere compassion comes from it, and I will see that loyal uncle indefinitely in the future.
"I don't have any other relatives!"
Is this man ungrateful? The ram has read countless people, although the little girl deliberately concealed it, but the dull sadness can still be seen by him at a glance.
His face was as usual, but his heart was full of thoughts. According to the person sent to investigate, she fell into a coma of heat stroke on the way to escape, and a farmer carried her to Yu County, where the man also took good care of her. What if she doesn't have any affection for that person? Not like! Otherwise, there would be no reaction to hearing the news that the refugees have been settled. But if she was truly grateful to that person, why not let him bring someone and live together? Unless...... Oh, although she grew up in a border city, she has a lot of thoughts!
"In this case, the girl is also alone now, and since I brought the girl back, I will be responsible for the girl to the end. I am the prince of a country, a little girl, and I can still afford it! β
ββ¦β¦ Yes! No, no, no, no, no, no, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, how dare I dare to climb high? Zhicheng, who was immersed in grief, was completely shocked by Ram Yichen's words, and suddenly got up and shook his hands in refusal.
"What is your attitude? Your Highness takes care of you and lifts you up, don't know what to do! Mingzhu looked at Her Royal Highness and frowned thoughtfully, knowing in her heart that this little girl must have been targeted by Her Royal Highness for something. She couldn't help but lament for this little girl, who liked to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger...... No, His Royal Highness, who eats the little white rabbit, takes a fancy to it, and it is best to be obedient and obedient, otherwise, he will be tossed half to death, and in the end he will have to be honest and obedient.
"Little girl, little girl is really grateful for His Highness's care, just ...... It's just that the little girl is vulgar, really, really not ...... Don't dare to be the companion of such a precious person as His Royal Highness the Prince! Zhicheng lowered his head to hide the panic on his face.
"It doesn't matter, whoever is born to understand the rules, you can learn slowly with her in the future."
"No, little girl......"
"Any other concerns? This palace sees that you are not very old, and you have a lot of thoughts! When Ram Yichen's face was expressionless, a handsome face was cool. He stood beside Zhicheng, his tone was indifferent, but he made people feel a chill in his life.
In his shadow, Zhicheng felt like a mountain pressing on her heart.
ββ¦β¦ No, little girl...... Yes, sir! Zhicheng suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, and she began to hate him......
"Well, there are more people fleeing, and they won't pay attention to one less person. However, I will explain to the young queen your existence and whereabouts, and you need not be worried. It's not that I can't feel her resistance and unwillingness, but thinking of the flying pigeon transmission I received from Mu Feng yesterday, she may have something to do with that person. Ram Yichen had to suppress his agitated emotions to embarrass a little girl.
ββ¦β¦ Be! "One less person and no one cares?
Is this a threat? Unwillingness, disgust, fear, all kinds of emotions accumulated in Zhicheng's eyes, she didn't dare to raise her head, and reluctantly responded.
"Don't you want to go out and walk around? Go, take advantage of the sunshine at this time, let Mingzhu accompany you, don't get lost. The ram Yichen waved his sleeves and left, leaving Zhicheng with grief and indignation.
After cleaning up the rice bowl on the table, looking at the little girl's depressed appearance, Minghuan couldn't bear it, and stepped forward to comfort: "Let's go, now the hibiscus in the backyard of this county government is blooming beautifully, you will like it." β
"I'm used to it, and I don't like it." Zhicheng's voice was muffled, as if there were endless grievances.
"Restraint is a bit restraint, but compared with those who are still indefinite like you, you eat and drink spicy food every day, and our sisters are waiting, so it's a difference between cloud and mud!" Mingzhu patted Zhicheng on the shoulder to show comfort.
"I ......"
"Okay, what are you, me, let's go, when the sun is scorching, you won't dare to go out."
Mingzhu pulled up Zhicheng and went to the backyard, Minghuan closed the door, and followed behind.
"How come you can't see a person in such a big place?" From the room to the backyard, except for the three of them, there was no one on the road, and Zhicheng was terrified.
Minghuan explained behind him: "Queen Xiao lives in the front yard as soon as she comes in order to facilitate her affairs. The county guard's family is in the main room of the north courtyard, His Royal Highness is happy and quiet, occupying the west wing, and the back garden is very close to the west wing, so naturally no one dares to disturb it. β
"So that means there are only a few of us in such a big backyard?"
"There are also a few of our Shangyang guards, but they are all waiting in front of His Highness's door, so you haven't seen them."
Zhicheng nodded and silently wrote it down in his heart.
"Your Highness said that you came to help settle people, since you don't need it now, when will you leave?" Zhicheng asked casually.
"We? And you, I don't know when you'll leave, but you'll have to come with us. Your Highness has a good heart, and you care so much about you, you don't want to be in the midst of blessings and don't know the blessings, and think about the east and the west! "Mingzhu is smart, sees through the sincere careful thinking, and unceremoniously picks it out directly.
Minghuan is accustomed to melting the atmosphere, she looked at Zhicheng's embarrassment when she was said to be the center of thought, and hurriedly looked at the lotus flowers in the pond in front of her, and changed the topic, "Pink and green, thriving, you see, how beautiful this pond water hibiscus is, I can't see it in our Shangyang!" β
No matter how beautiful things are, in the eyes of the sincere people who are full of sorrow, they are just blue skies and floating clouds, but that's it. Zhicheng stared at the lotus flowers in the pool, his thoughts confused.
"Well, the lotus is used as clothes, and the hibiscus is thought to be clothes. It's wonderful! β
The smart and clever Pearl seemed to not see Zhicheng's troubles, dangling back and forth around her, a pair of cunning black eyes roaming back and forth on her, looking at that look, if she wasn't a woman, Zhicheng would directly scold the hooligan.
She looked down at her clothes along Mingzhu's eyes, one under the shirt, which corresponded to the color of the object in front of her, and then looked down, the hem of Naluo's skirt was embroidered with the same color silk thread A few delicate hibiscus that were swaying happily in the water at this time. Well, she has only been worried about her situation for the past two days, how can she have the heart to care about what to wear, it is the two people around her who help her upside down.
Zhicheng suddenly thought that Ram Yichen let her out so happily today, wouldn't he just deliberately let her come here and blatantly laugh at her, right? The more Zhicheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was a god in that person, and he clearly hated a ghost!
But he couldn't help but think of his own situation, and muttered unconsciously: "Those who know me say that I am worried; Those who don't know me say what I want! β
"What is there to worry about at your young age? Your Highness cares about you so much, takes care of you, and following Your Highness can ensure that you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about everything! Mingzhu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and she felt that this little girl was getting more and more interesting.
Zhicheng smiled bitterly, how good it would be if it was really that simple, she just, too greedy!
"What's that expression?" Mingzhu looked at Zhicheng's bitter gourd face dissatisfied, and then thought of something, her eyes turned around, and she walked in front of Zhicheng, blocking her vision, "Hey, what do you think of the two of us?" β
"You two? That's good! β
"Ah no, I'm asking you how you see that we have been following His Highness all the time, how are we doing?"
ββ¦β¦ It's all good to look at! β
"Oh, no," Mingzhu stomped her foot impatiently, "You pretend to be confused, what I want to say is that His Highness has always been generous and kind to people, you don't have to worry about being punished for careless words or poor service in the future, just look at the two of us, she and I have never been punished." Mingzhu raised his hand and pointed to Minghuan.
Minghuan nodded in harmony.
Mingzhu thought, today His Royal Highness has also calculated where this little girl will go in the future, since they will work together in the future, then now they might as well comfort her more, there are only a few people around Her Highness who are waiting for her. If she can get started as soon as possible, the two of them can save some trouble, although serving His Highness is not so much to do, but people are always lazy!
Zhicheng is really not pretending to be confused, she thinks about how to escape before it's too late, who still thinks about serving him?
Besides, although the plum blossoms in the cold wind, the clear lotus is also blooming in the scorching sun. She is also the authentic princess of Gu Liang Kingdom, why should she serve that prince of Shangyang?
Zhicheng lowered his head and murmured: "Glory and wealth are geometry, how can you be happy if you break your eyebrows and bend your waist!" β
"What did you say?" Mingzhu didn't hear clearly, or she couldn't believe it, so she grabbed Zhicheng's shoulder and asked loudly.
Zhicheng frowned, brushed away the plain hand on his shoulder, and wanted to walk away, but when he turned around, the white clothes reflected the morning sun and walked slowly, "I didn't ask you to grovel, nor did I let you be servile, on the contrary, I still have someone to take care of you." I don't know, where does your unhappiness come from? β
Zhicheng looked at the noble young man who walked in slowly, why did he come? How could he hear it from so far?
"I know some martial arts." Ram Yichen explained with a smile, looking at the face in front of him that was somewhat similar to the person, he was a little distracted. No wonder he was overjoyed at first sight.
"Your Highness is very powerful!" Zhicheng remembered that after the death of the maidservant girl before, the first night she lived at Mr. Ji's house, she couldn't sleep because of loneliness and sadness. When it was about to dawn, she simply sat on the steps outside the house and waited for the sun to rise. The sun was rising, and just as she forgot her sorrows and immersed herself in the magnificent beauty of nature, she suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky from the backyard. She was curious, tiptoed to the backyard, around the courtyard wall just saw a figure spinning in mid-air, she saw something flashing cold light rushing towards her, she stared at her eyes in fear, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a sharp sword against her neck, the person holding the sword was actually Mr. Ji. In order to appease her, Ji Yue told her a "secret" that day. The Ji family was originally a martial arts family, when Ji Yue was a teenager, his father was defeated in a duel, and his mother was martyred. He didn't want to participate in martial arts battles, so he hid his identity and became a teacher in this border town. Out of habit, I still practice martial arts every day. He originally thought that he wanted to live with Zhicheng for a long time, and it was inconvenient to hide it from her, so he planned to tell her when he found a suitable opportunity in the future. Unexpectedly, she was broken by her on the first day, and I just explained the situation to her. That morning, Mr. Ji told her a lot of things about martial arts and martial arts, among them, back to the basics (martial arts are strong but no different from ordinary people), indicating that martial arts must reach a certain level.
"Do you want to practice martial arts?" Ram Yichen looked at Zhicheng's casual shaking eyes, knowing that she was avoiding the previous problem, and no longer deliberately embarrassed, she took the initiative to change the topic.
"The little girl has seen others practice martial arts before, and she thinks it is very powerful and wants to learn it."
"If you really want to learn and endure hardship, I will teach you!"
"Doesn't Your Highness know a little bit?" Looking at Ram Yichen's tolerant and friendly expression, he smiled sincerely. Seize the opportunity, why not fight him back and get back the previous grievances?
"There is no end to those who know, whether it is martial arts or knowledge!"
"Oh, it's no wonder that the two sisters of Mingzhu Minghuan are exported into chapters, and they are hidden deeply, they are close to Zhu Zhechi!"
Ram Yichen passed by Zhicheng, turned his back to her, and admired the graceful beauty of the pink lotus in the pond with great interest.
"Zhicheng is so smart and talented, but I don't know where it is close to the master?"
Here it comes! Zhicheng's heart tightened, she originally thought that if he let her stay, it would be equivalent to not pursuing it, but in the end she was too naΓ―ve.
"The little girl has been studying in the village school before, and my husband taught me well, so I learned the same."
"Pretty good!"
ββ¦β¦β
"How does Zhicheng think this pool of hibiscus is blooming?"
Zhicheng turned around and walked behind the ram Yichen, and finally looked at the lotus flowers in various shapes, and praised: "It's in full swing!" β
"Maggi! Sincerity is a lover! β
"What does Your Highness think?"
"Uninhibited!"
"Second! Your Highness is a pure man! β
"Haha~Hahaha~"
This is the first time that Zhicheng has seen the shallow young man laugh so happily, like the rising sun, bright and warm; Like a blazing fire, it is unscrupulous. She didn't really like the kind of nonchalant smile he had before, it always felt unreal.
Minghuan Minghuan next to him was already stunned, and the two of them thought at the same time, no wonder His Royal Highness took special care of her, this little girl is really a wonderful person, since the princess died of illness, this is the first time His Royal Highness has been so happy.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent, looking at the city and the country. When Zhicheng grows up, he is definitely a wonderful woman with a peerless demeanor and a country and a city! "Yes, the style is peerless, the country is overwhelmed, she is so beautiful, how can her daughter be bad?
I don't think Your Highness is a person who judges people by their appearance, and ......, "You are better looking than me." Zhicheng swallowed the last sentence into his stomach.
"Hehe, you're so smart, you know that's not what I mean!"
What does that mean? Sincerely, silently.
