Prequel. Chapter Twenty-Seven: King Chen Returns to Beijing
After being stuffy in the house for a long time, I sorted out my thoughts, but I also felt much more relaxed. Want to do so much? It's good to be happy by yourself, and those illusory things, let's talk about them later
"Second sister, let's go."
Xingyi came to me early in the morning and wanted to go out with me, saying that she had obtained her father's consent, and I was surprised that he would agree so readily.
In the past few days, I have been in a much better mood, there is no cranky thinking in my head, and I have a great appetite for eating, and I asked Xingyi why she was in a hurry to go out today, only to hear her say that His Royal Highness King Chen is going back to Beijing today, this little girl, she is really curious about everything, she also wants to see this King Chen.
I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Chen is the most outstanding in appearance among all the princes today, and he is also the most like the emperor.
I don't have much of an impression of this King Chen. He has rarely been in the capital, King Chen was thirteen years old and followed General Ouyang to fight on the battlefield, he made a lot of military exploits at a young age, two years ago he asked the emperor to guard the border pass, this stay is a full two years, he has not returned to the capital in these two years.
Compared with other princes, this His Royal Highness King Chen is probably the prince who has suffered the most.
In the past, although he was on the battlefield all the year round, he would occasionally return to Beijing, but even if he returned to Beijing, he only followed a few guards and walked silently, and he had never been known to everyone as he did today.
But no, as soon as Xingyi and I left the house, we saw that there were many people on the street. Speaking of this King Chen, I'm afraid there are few people who are not curious, it's rare that he openly returned to Beijing in front of the public today, and everyone should want to see his true face.
When I walked down the street, it was already crowded with people, but I saw a number of young women, their faces full of anticipation and a slight flush. Thinking that this King Chen is also at the age when he should marry a wife, but in this big capital, except for the noble concubine, who will worry about his marriage for him. It's just that although this King Chen is not liked by the emperor, he is the most beloved adopted son of the concubine Niangniang, the noble prince, which is understandable, for some official women, if they can marry him, it is still good.
"As soon as I saw this child in this palace today, I liked it very much, so I might as well ask the emperor to decree that she would be married to Jing'er. If you want to come to Jing'er, you will definitely like her very much. ”
I suddenly remembered the words of Concubine Huixian at the palace banquet that day, and I couldn't help but shudder, although this matter has passed, I still feel panicked when I think of it.
"Huh? Is that His Royal Highness King Chen? Why do you wear a mask on your face? I don't know which girl whispered, and I happened to hear it. As everyone's eyes converged on the man in ink on the horse.
Xu is because he is riding on horseback, which makes him even more erect.
I saw him move forward slowly, and when he reached a place, he suddenly stopped, and then slowly dismounted. looked at the restaurant opposite and strode in.
I followed his footsteps step by step, and Xingyi didn't know when she was separated from me, but she just looked at him carefully, and she didn't want to take her eyes off for a moment, but her mind was in chaos.
Dressed in an ink-colored robe, with an ink-colored cloak on the outside, and a mask on his face, he could only see the corners of his mouth and chin, and his whole body, revealing indifference.
This figure, this outfit, is so familiar to me. But he was still not sure in his heart, and walked forward step by step.
When I got to the door, I heard a voice talking inside.
"Yihang, long time no see, are you okay?"
I looked inside, and saw Lou Yihang, Yun Wang, Ouyang Junyu and Yiyang, all four of them inside, drinking leisurely one by one.
"I saved your life, and if you want to die in the future, you must first ask me if I agree."
My mind went blank all of a sudden, and my body froze in place for a moment, it was really him! The one who saved me that day would be King Chen, and in this world, there would be such a coincidence.
But at that time, he told me that his surname was Ling, why did he lie to me?
Reason tells me that I must never meet him now. What if he recognizes me and says what happened at the Lake of Forgetfulness? My father and mother will know about it, and I will die.
Slowly took a few steps back, turned around and wanted to leave, but heard a voice from inside: "Miss Yi'er, you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave." ”
I bit my lip helplessly, this Ouyang Junyu is simply my nemesis.
I lamented in my heart, they must have thought that I was deliberately eavesdropping on their conversations, but if I ignored people's words, it seemed that my heart was even weaker. Anyway, I'm not eavesdropping, I'm listening openly, so many people are here, and no one can do anything to me in public.
I hurriedly turned around and walked in slowly, catching a glimpse of the eyes of several of them had shifted to me, and smiled at them awkwardly, the others were fine, but Ouyang Junyu looked at me with his previous smile, which made me feel very unhappy.
"Who is this?" King Nachen asked at Ouyang Junyu.
Curious, he didn't recognize me? Or does he not remember me?
No, he didn't tell me his true identity at the time, so he didn't want anyone to know about it. Then I don't have to worry about him telling me about it.
He saluted him and said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Huichen, little girl, the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yi'er." Because he has been sick, he rarely goes out. ”
"Su Yi'er, shut up." But it was Lou Yihang who scolded softly.
I was a little stunned, did I say the wrong thing, why was he angry? At this time, Lou Yihang had already walked in front of me, and I smiled at him: "I don't know what advice His Royal Highness King Ling has?" ”
He also smiled at me, that smile, looking warm and sweet in his heart, too much like Brother Yun is extremely intoxicating.
He was silent for a moment, stared straight into my eyes, and said, "Follow me." ”
After saying that, he took my hand violently and walked forward quickly. Before I could react, I was already pulled away by him. I was very curious about his actions, but I didn't resist and let him pull me away.
It's just that when I think of the sentence that Fang just scolded me, I feel unhappy in my heart.
"Let it go!" I shook my hand away and stopped. He turned his head and turned around, his eyes fixed on me. Then he said very gently: "Don't have anything between you and Lou Jing in the future, he doesn't have a good heart." ”
I said one by one Lou Jing in my heart, and the call was really smooth.
"Hey, did you hear me talking to you?"
Nonsense, I'm not deaf, can I not hear?
"I mean really, don't deal with him."
I looked at no one around, rolled my eyes at him, and quipped: "I can't contact Ouyang Junyu, I can't like Bai Lixuan, and I can't deal with Lou Jing, I want to ask you, is it that in this world, except for Lou Yihang, I can't have anything to do with anyone?" Although you are a prince, you are not qualified to deprive me of the right to make friends, right? ”
The person in front of me suddenly grabbed my hand and stared at me tightly, "Yi'er, I thought I had made it clear to you that day. ”
"Yi'er, give me a chance and let me take care of you."
Looking at each other, I had never felt such heat in his eyes.
I knew that Brother Yun would never come back, and I said that I should live my life well and find my own happiness as he wished.
But where is my happiness? This person in front of him, does he really care about me? Since the first encounter with him, he has always given me the feeling that he has always been arrogant, unscrupulous and does not take anyone in his eyes, and he has always looked down on me and troubled me everywhere.
It was only because of that fall into the water that my opinion of him began to change. It's as if he's the same today as that day, he doesn't have the same sense of inevitability as before, and it makes people feel very approachable.
I pushed his hand away and turned to walk forward. He was also very well-behaved today, he didn't pull me much, he didn't have the domineering of the past, he just walked behind me.
It didn't take long to see Xingyi waiting for me, and she glanced at me, and a surprised expression instantly appeared on her face. I listened to the footsteps behind me, and I didn't know what to do for a while, so I pulled Xingyi and continued to walk forward.
Xingyi took two steps and glanced back, and couldn't help but ask me, "Second sister, why has His Royal Highness the King of Ling been following you?" ”
I shook my head and whispered to her, "I don't know if he doesn't talk like this every day." ”
Xingyi continued: "Second sister, in fact, His Royal Highness the King of Ling likes you so much, you should consider being with him. ”
I looked at her suspiciously, curious, hasn't this girl always liked Lou Yihang? Why are you still persuading me to stay with him?
"Xingyi, don't you like King Ling? Why do you still make do with me with him. ”
After hearing this, she shook her head and waved her hand again and again: "Hey, that was all before, I don't like him anymore." Second sister, I hope you can be happy, His Royal Highness King Ling likes you, this is already a well-known thing, if you are with him, he will definitely treat you very well. ”
I raised an eyebrow: "He likes me?" Everyone's got it? ”
Xingyi nodded hurriedly: "That's right." ”
After finishing speaking, he said to me again: "I'll be home in front, second sister, I'll go back first, you go talk to him." With that, he pushed me back, and trotted forward.
I mourned silently in my heart, this Su Xingyi, just left me alone? What is this? I promised to ask me out without my consent, but now I am being entangled and run away alone? Sure enough, this girl is more unreliable than Yuyin.
I turned to look at the man standing behind me at the moment, and he stopped where he was because I had stopped, his eyes fixed on me. Still not knowing what to say to him, I kept walking.
When passing by the gate of the house, the footsteps involuntarily walked in and walked in another direction.
"I'll pick another one for you as a meeting gift, remember, you owe me a favor, and I will have to pay it back in the future."
"Miss Su, your sister is the first time to come to the palace, why don't you take care of her, if you run away and lose it, won't the prime minister die of sadness?"
"Yi'er, I, the person I like in my heart now, is you."
"I don't care, as long as I can be with you, even if it's a day, I'm happy."
Time is passing little by little, and I think back to the first time I met Lou Yihang until now, it turns out that unconsciously, so many things have happened between us, he is the prince, and he is the concubine born to the queen, I have offended him like that many times, he didn't care about me, I didn't think too much about it at that time, or I didn't dare to think about it.
