Chapter 33 My heart is for the bright moon
My hand was grabbed tighter, and I couldn't squeeze out a smile anymore, so I had to endure it and said quietly: "Your Majesty misunderstood, how dare I not take you in my eyes, it's just that Your Majesty is in need of recuperation when he is sick, how can I bother and annoy Your Majesty." ”
"I'll really make excuses for myself, and I'll just say it if I don't want to see me."
Chen Qian snorted coldly with a gloomy face, stretched out his hand and pushed me to the side fiercely, violently impacting, my body stumbled backwards, and almost fell, but fortunately, Li Fei helped me in time.
This barbarian, I cursed indignantly in my heart.
I didn't say anything, but Chen Qian waved her sleeves angrily and left, and before leaving, she didn't forget to scold resentfully, "A heartless woman!" ”
I stared coldly at his departing back, with a burst of disdain in my heart, no matter how heartless I am, I can't compare to your cruelty. You've hurt me so far, and you have the face to accuse me!
When he met Chen Qian, all his interest in appreciating the scenery was swept away, and he turned around and wanted to leave with Lifei, but someone jumped out halfway to block the way. The body is strong, the black eyes are deep, and the heroic posture is undoubted.
I looked at Chen Ji, who was not good-looking, and said politely and distantly: "What advice does the prince have?" ”
Chen Fei didn't say anything, only glanced at Li Fei behind him coldly, I understood it, turned my head and commanded Li Fei, "Li Fei, my throat has been very dry recently, coughing on fire, the swirling flowers in the West Garden are blooming just right, it is the best to reduce qi and relieve cough, you go and pick some for me." ”
Li Fei understood, retreated and walked away.
Turning aside the pear fei, I looked at Chen Ji who was still fierce on his face, and unconsciously said coldly: "Is there something that the prince can say?" ”
Chen Ji paced a few steps diagonally on my side, and his tone was cold, as if the mountains were oppressing, "I heard that the imperial brother was drenched in the rain and suffered from the wind cold a few days ago because of Hua Zhaorong, why did the imperial brother not see Hua Zhaorong come to take a look after being sick for days." Brother Huang has been thinking about you, and he is very depressed in his heart. ”
"The prince said with a smile, Your Majesty was upset when he saw me, how could he worry about me? If you want to think about it, you should also think about Wan Zhaoyi. I glanced at Chen Ji meaningfully, and carefully observed the twitching on Chen Ji's face when Wan Zhaoyi was mentioned.
"Hua Zhaorong has good means." Chen Ji's face became more and more cold, and his voice became heavier, "I thought that you were just an ordinary woman, and you couldn't make any waves if you stayed in the palace." But now the royal brother has been deceived by you, and he is deeply trapped in the situation without knowing it, but this king looks down on you. ”
Confusing Chen Qian? I almost couldn't help laughing, and my lips curled into a mocking arc, "The prince is really joking, I didn't know that I had such a great ability to confuse Your Majesty?" ”
"Don't pretend to be deaf and dumb." Chen Ji's voice suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were terrifying, "You have only been here for a long time, and you have disturbed the imperial brother's spirit." I already thought it wouldn't work to use you to contain Yuwen Yong, what is the use of you as a woman? Now I warn you, leave the palace quickly, don't think about confusing the imperial brother and doing something unfavorable to my Chen country. If you do anything wrong, I will not spare you! ”
What will be detrimental to Chen Guo is your beloved Qin Wanxi, why don't you go to her to shout? I want to be bad for Chen Guo, but do I have that ability! He really looked up to me and charged me with such a big crime, these two brothers are really unreasonable.
I glanced at him sideways, "It's not good for Chen Guo, I don't have that much ambition, and the prince thinks highly of it." I wanted to leave the palace, but I didn't have the ability to fly out of the Jiankang Palace. Please persuade Chen Qian and let me go quickly. I'm a small woman, I can't affect the overall situation, what am I doing here? Do you hate each other? I don't want to stay in this place anymore. ”
I was already angry in my chest, and I didn't want to talk about it anymore, and in Chen Ji's surprised and inquiring gaze, the cloud sleeves waved, and I walked away.
The two brothers of the Chen family are always so arrogant and arrogant, self-righteous. All charges are blared on my head, all faults are pushed on me, and I never reflect on my actions. They are always right, I am always wrong, as if I am the heinous woman. Who forced whom to get to this point, and why is everything to blame on me?
——
I moved Zhang Guifei to the courtyard under the pear tree, reclined on the mat carpet, and copied a book to look at it carefully. I was a little tired when I saw it, and I put the scroll on my belly with half open, and my eyes looked at the oblique pear leaves on the top, which were bright and beautiful, densely overlapping into a gorgeous and magnificent twilight glow, and the red leaves of the trees condensed clusters of streamer flame shadows, and the autumn colors were brilliant.
The autumn leaves in front of me gradually turned into a blurry firelight, and the eyes almost couldn't hold it back, and I became more and more sleepy, so I simply closed my eyes and fell asleep peacefully. When he was sleeping in a daze, Li Fei's fluttering words suddenly entered his ears, "Your Majesty." ”
Chen Qian came, my body shook slightly, I didn't feel sleepy, my brain suddenly woke up, and I heard Lifei's soft voice in my ears, "Niangniang is asleep, the slave is going to wake up Niangniang." ”
"Don't." Chen Qian stopped Li Fei in a low and anxious manner, as if he was afraid of waking me up, and said softly and softly, "Let her rest well, I just need to look at her." ”
The sound of light footsteps slowly leaned towards me, and I didn't want to face Chen Qian's face, so I simply pretended to be asleep. Chen Qian pulled a round stool and sat beside me, and sat silently without saying anything, but I could always feel a pair of burning eyes wandering on my face.
After a cool breeze, a few pear leaves fell on his face, Chen Qian's hand reached over, took away a pear leaf, and the skin on his face quickly became a small pimple when it touched his slightly hot fingers, I couldn't pretend anymore, I opened my eyes suddenly, my body was half-up, and the pear leaves on my face also shook off.
"Are you awake?" Chen Qian was startled at first, and then like a child who had been peeped into some secret, a thin layer of suspicious red clouds floated on his face.
I didn't say anything, I held up the book high to read, blocking the upset face on the other side, turning a blind eye to everything around me, turning a deaf ear, and the atmosphere turned into an awkward dead silence for a while.
When I talk to Chen Qian, we have always either raised our eyebrows coldly, or looked at each other angrily, and the rest have nothing to say, and it is really weird and awkward to stay together like this and not say a word. I really don't know what Chen Qian is doing sitting here stupidly, it's obviously boring, he still doesn't leave, it is estimated that he has nothing to do when he is full.
"Reading?" Chen Qian was speechless.
"Hmm." I answered lazily, holding up the book to cover the face of the other side more tightly.
There was nothing to say, and I fell into a dull embarrassment, eerily quiet, so quiet that I could only hear a slight heaving of breathing, and I always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at me, staring at me and making my scalp tingle.
"Your Majesty, if you feel bored, go and see Wan Zhaoyi. Although you snubbed her to protect her, you didn't go to see her for a long time, just afraid that Wan Zhaoyi would feel sad. "I couldn't stand the horror of being stared at, and opened my mouth to break the dull atmosphere.
Seeing that Chen Qian didn't react, I sighed deliberately, "It seems that Your Majesty doesn't care about Wan Zhaoyi anymore." Men, they are accustomed to liking the new and hating the old. Poor Wan Zhaoyi was left behind so quickly. ”
At this moment, Chen Qian's face changed, she stood up suddenly, looked at me, her lips squirmed, as if she wanted to explain something, but she didn't say anything, she just turned around and walked away in a sullen voice.
As soon as he left, my heart immediately brightened and relaxed. Wan Zhaoyi is really a good medicine, as soon as she mentioned her Chen Qian's disgraced face and left, it seems that I can use Wan Zhaoyi more to squeeze him in the future.
I heard that more than three months ago, Chen Qian Xiushu sent Mao Xi, a waiter of the Yellow Gate and a member of the Zhongshu House, to negotiate with Zhou State, requesting the release of Princess Ancheng and Prince Ancheng. Emperor Zhou Yuwen Yong read the letter and responded without saying a word, and personally sent someone to send the princess and the prince back to China. After more than a month of travel, the princess and the prince were safely sent back to Ancheng Wangfu not long ago to reunite with Chen Ji. When Chongyang is approaching, Chen Qian held a family banquet, so Princess Ancheng and the prince were also invited, and they will be seen tomorrow.
Chen Qian, Chen Xuan, Wan Zhaoyi, and Princess Liu Jingyan, thinking of the delicate relationship between these four people, I curled my lips and smiled secretly, I don't know if Princess An Cheng knows about the affair between her husband and the emperor's concubine?
As the weather gradually became colder, the family banquet was held in the warmer and more pleasant Fangde Hall. Princess An Cheng came dressed up with her prince and sat at a table with Chen Ji. Chen Ji's expression was always faint when he looked at Liu Jingyan, and he didn't have much joy, but he focused more on the young son, revealing the love and pity of being a father.
It seems that Chen Ji doesn't have much affection for this princess, and she is as light as a blank piece of paper.
I also paid attention to Wan Zhaoyi sitting among the concubines from time to time, and she looked at Liu Jingyan's gaze very calmly, without a trace of jealousy and hostility. But when he looked at Chen Ji, he showed a sense of guilt and melancholy.
"Come, uncle." Chen Qian lovingly beckoned to the prince under his seat, "Let the imperial uncle take a good look at you." ”
Chen Shubao, the prince of the world, blushed with a round face, and walked up timidly. Chen Qian touched the little boy's head lovingly, and sighed with a smile: "Back then, I saw that you were still a baby with no teeth, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye, time flies so fast." ”
Chen Qian pulled the prince to speak affectionately on the top, and the concubine next to him echoed and congratulated the princess on her hard work and return to the country to reunite with King Ancheng. I silently tasted the delicacies, I didn't need to get involved in their topics, and I was not interested in talking to Chen Qian. It's still the most practical thing to eat, and it's the most important thing to fill your stomach.
I was biting a piece of osmanthus fish sticks, I felt weird, it seemed that someone was staring at me, I looked up, and I was facing Chen Qian's focused gaze with a hint of interesting smile, and his face was like a warm breeze blowing willows, indescribably soft.
I almost didn't choke on the fish sticks, the wolf swallowed the fish sticks, drank a glass of wine to moisten my throat, and thought to myself, this Chen Qian, don't look at Wan Zhaoyi decently, see what I do?
was caught by me, Chen Qian also felt embarrassed, and hurriedly turned his head to talk to the son. And King An Cheng on the lower left looked at Wan Zhaoyi from time to time, with suppressed and unspeakable feelings in his eyes, forbearance and affection. Wan Zhaoyi also seemed to know that Chen Ji was looking at her, and only lowered her eyes to avoid his gaze.
I looked at Princess An Cheng who was left aside, with a smile on her face, but there was a faint sense of loss and sadness between her eyebrows, and I couldn't help but sigh secretly, poor woman, married to a man who didn't love her, this life is destined to be wrong.
