Chapter 812: The Princess's Confession
Three days later, in the morning, as soon as the gates of the capital were opened, a carriage drove out. Eighty-one? Middle?? Text ≈≥≥.≠
In the carriage, Li Hongyu looked at the letter in his hand with a depressed expression, this letter was brought to him by Zhu Huiyuan asked Wang Chengen to accompany her outside the city today.
Zhu Huiyuan had already left the city in advance and went to Huangzhuang on the outskirts of the city, so that she would have time to play with Li Hongyu.
Where does Li Hongyu have the intention of playing, but Zhu Huiyuan can't afford to offend, in case Zhu Huiyuan makes any radical moves impulsively, then he wants to cry without tears.
Therefore, Li Hongyu decided to go to the appointment and appease Zhu Huiyuan first, anyway, he would have to leave the capital after a while, and he would be able to avoid Zhu Huiyuan at that time.
At a remote wharf in the canal, a painting boat was quietly parked there, and Li Hongyu hesitated after getting out of the carriage and strode towards the painting boat.
"Childe, please!" There was a maid standing on the side of the painting boat, and when she saw Li Hongyu coming, her face was overjoyed, and she hurriedly bowed down and made a gesture of please.
This maid is the palace maid who accompanied Zhu Huiyuan to the Qinglou to find Li Hongyu a few days ago, she is a few years older than Zhu Huiyuan, and the two grew up together, so they have a good relationship with each other and are loyal to Zhu Huiyuan.
Li Hongyu looked embarrassed and followed the palace maid on the boat, this sneaky behavior made him feel cheating, which made him feel quite depressed.
In fact, Li Hongyu, as a married man, came to meet Zhu Huiyuan privately, which seemed to the outside world to be an out-and-out cheating.
With the arrival of Li Hongyu, the boatmen immediately set sail, they were only hired to row the boat, so they did not know the identity of the people on the boat.
Due to the noble status of Li Hongyu and Zhu Huiyuan, coupled with the consideration of safety, Zhu Huiyuan chose to enjoy the scenery on a cruise, so as not to be met by outsiders.
"Brother Li."
In the cabin, Zhu Huiyuan, who was dressed in a red dress and was pretty and cute, was sitting at the table with her chin in her hands, and when she saw Li Hongyu coming in, she immediately looked happy and got up to greet her.
"Princess, the official is busy with official business, and he has done his best to come today, and I hope the princess will understand." Li Hongyu arched his hand to Zhu Huiyuan and said seriously, implying that he didn't want to have another such thing.
"Brother Li, try it, this is the pastry I made for you myself, see if you like it or not."
Zhu Huiyuan was smart and clever, so she naturally heard the meaning of Li Hongyu's words, and after a smile, she pulled Li Hongyu to the table, and said excitedly pointing to the pastry plate on the table.
"Princess Xie." Li Hongyu withdrew his hand from Zhu Huiyuan's hand, bowed to her and thanked her seriously, he couldn't give Zhu Huiyuan any hope now, so he naturally had to keep his distance from Zhu Huiyuan.
"Brother Li, today is my birthday, you can't stop treating me as a princess." Zhu Huiyuan saw that Li Hongyu's attitude was a little cold, and knew that he had some scruples in his heart, so he said to Li Hongyu faintly after a small mouth.
"It's the princess's birthday?" Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he really didn't know what Zhu Huiyuan's birthday was.
"Come, try it, see how the craft goes, I've been learning it for a long time." Zhu Huiyuan smiled, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake from a pastry plate and put it to Li Hongyu's mouth.
"Thank you." How could Li Hongyu let Zhu Huiyuan feed him, and after thanking him, he hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his mouth, the taste was soft and sweet.
Li Hongyu looked at Zhu Huiyuan with some surprise, Zhu Huiyuan's craftsmanship was not worse than those famous pastry chefs in the capital, and it could be seen that he must have worked weekdays.
"Is it delicious?" Zhu Huiyuan looked at Li Hongyu a little nervously, and attached great importance to Li Hongyu's evaluation.
"Hmmm! I didn't think the princess would have such a craft. Li Hongyu nodded affirmatively when he heard this, and praised him, "This is the next ...... It was the best pastry I ever had. ”
Li Hongyu wanted to say "Xiaguan", but considering Zhu Huiyuan's feelings, he gave up this title, for the sake of Zhu Huiyuan's birthday, he stimulated her again, in the final analysis, he was a person who cherished the fragrance and cherished the jade, and he was also worried that Zhu Huiyuan would do stupid things under impulse.
"Really?"
Zhu Huiyuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, a happy smile appeared on her face, and she pushed the high point plate on the table in front of Li Hongyu, and said with a smile, "You can taste the others, if there are any deficiencies, I will improve." ”
Li Hongyu naturally couldn't disappoint Zhu Huiyuan, so he tasted the pastries on the table one by one, not to mention, these pastries were really delicious, slightly better than the pastries in the palace.
Seeing Li Hongyu gulping down the pastries in his mouth, Zhu Huiyuan's heart was very happy, and after pouring a cup of tea, she looked at Li Hongyu with interest, if Li Hongyu liked those pastries, then her previous efforts were not in vain.
"Princess, there are some things I have to tell you clearly, you are the proud daughter of the sky, the body of a daughter, the emperor will definitely find you a good family in the future, so I hope the princess can understand that some things are impossible, and you can't force it."
Li Hongyu swept half of the pastries in the pastry plate on the table like a storm, drank all the tea poured by Zhu Huiyuan in one go, and then said solemnly to Zhu Huiyuan, who was looking at him with a smile.
Obviously, it is impossible for Zhu Huiyuan to marry him, a married man, as a princess, and it is impossible for Li Hongyu to divorce Zhao Xin, otherwise how will the world view him!
"I know!"
Zhu Huiyuan naturally knew what Li Hongyu said, and after smiling, she put her chin on her chin and said, "Brother Li, didn't you say it before, the White Lady and Xu Xian knew that the ladyboys had different paths but still insisted on being together, Romeo and Juliet were able to break through the family hatred and fall in love with each other because they were stronger than Jin and didn't care about how long they had it." ”
"Brother Li, I want you to know that I don't care about eternity, as long as you can be with me, I will be satisfied."
Saying that, Zhu Huiyuan's face turned red, she lowered her head shyly, and fiddled with the corners of her skirt crampedly, this kind of thing made her too embarrassed for a girl to say it.
"White lady? Juliet! Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhu Huiyuan to mention these two people to him, and then a depressed look appeared on his face, and he smiled bitterly in his heart.
In the past, Li Hongyu told Zhu Huiyuan a lot of stories and calls, including the White Lady and Juliet, at that time he didn't expect Zhu Huiyuan to be affected by the plot of the story, but now it seems that he dug a hole for himself.
Looking at Zhu Huiyuan, who looked shy, Li Hongyu had mixed feelings in his heart, if he knew that there would be today's trouble, he would not have told Zhu Huiyuan those love stories if he was killed before.
"The princess knows her intentions, but if I accept the princess's kindness, I will be disloyal and unjust, and I will be rebellious, and I hope that the princess will forgive me, and there are some things that cannot be forced."
However, at this point, he could no longer change the things of the past, so after a deep groan, he said with a serious expression, "Princess, you don't want me to be pointed at by a thousand people, do you!" ”
"What does this have to do with others, I like to be with you, it's my own business!"
Seeing that Li Hongyu rejected her intentions, Zhu Huiyuan's eyes couldn't help turning red, and she looked at Li Hongyu unconvinced and said, her age is in the period of rebellion, so how can she listen to the big truths in Li Hongyu's mouth.
"Princess, people's words are terrifying, the princess must have heard of 'everyone is golden, and the bones are destroyed', once there are rumors and rumors, we will fall into a place of no return."
Li Hongyu shook his head helplessly when he heard this, he knew that Zhu Huiyuan must be in a bad mood now, but some things are still cut through the mess quickly, and the sooner they deal with it, the better, so Zhengse replied.
"Since you didn't want me, then why did you save me at that time, and then make me miss you?"
Zhu Huiyuan's eyes suddenly moistened, Li Hongyu's words pierced her heart like a knife, and she endured the grievances in her heart, biting her lip and asking Li Hongyu.
"Princess, this is the duty of a courtier, and anyone else will go to save the princess, but I happened to be there at the time."
Li Hongyu knew that his words were a little ruthless, but what he said was the truth and it was also for Zhu Huiyuan's future, so he explained quietly, hoping to dispel Zhu Huiyuan's unrealistic thoughts.
Hearing this, Zhu Huiyuan could no longer hold back the grievances in her heart, and tears fell down her eyes.
She mustered up the courage to invite Li Hongyu to come today, she wanted to have a romantic and unforgettable birthday, but who would have thought that what Li Hongyu said would be so hurtful.
"Okay, since you don't want to have anything to do with me, then I will fulfill you, and from now on we will not owe each other, and we will never get along with each other."
Then, Zhu Huiyuan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, gritted her teeth, and turned around and ran out of the cabin.
"You're not going to jump ship, are you?"
Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he saw this, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly chased him out, according to Zhu Huiyuan's character and the excited emotions now, she would really do this kind of thing.
Sure enough, the emotional Zhu Huiyuan rushed out of the cabin without the slightest hesitation, and jumped into the canal with a deep jump.
Li Hongyu, who was following behind, wanted to stop it, so he reached forward and grabbed it, but he was still a step slower, and watched Zhu Huiyuan jump into the water.
"Oops!" Li Hongyu knew that Zhu Huiyuan couldn't swim, and it was difficult for a person like this to live in the palace all year round to have the opportunity to swim in the water, so he didn't have time to think about it, and jumped down after throwing the shoes on his feet.
"Quick, save people, save people!" The palace maid who followed Li Hongyu was suddenly frightened when she saw this, and hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed at Zhu Huiyuan, who was struggling in the water, and shouted to the boatmen on the boat.
Seeing this, the boatmen also jumped into the water one after another, helping Li Hongyu rescue Zhu Huiyuan on the boat.
"Ahem...... Zhu Huiyuan, who was wet, drank a few sips of river water, sat on the deck and coughed violently, Li Hongyu patted her back with concern when he saw this.
"Brother Li, do you know that I still often have nightmares until now, dreaming that I was buried in the fire, and I can only sleep peacefully after you return to Beijing."
After coughing, Zhu Huiyuan turned around and hugged Li Hongyu, sobbing and saying, "Since you saved me back then, I only have you as a man in my heart, and I can no longer pretend to be others, I don't care about my reputation, I don't care about other people's opinions, as long as I can be with you, I will be satisfied." ”
Li Hongyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, his expression became a little gloomy, he could naturally understand the damage caused by the fire to Zhu Huiyuan's young heart, and he suddenly felt pity in his heart.
"Alas!" Then, Li Hongyu sighed with a wry smile, stretched out his hand and hugged Zhu Huiyuan into his arms, Zhu Huiyuan is a dignified princess who has said everything to this point, so what else does he have to refuse, he can't force Zhu Huiyuan to death!
Zhu Huiyuan realized from Li Hongyu's action that he had changed his mind, and suddenly felt a burst of excitement in his heart, and couldn't help but bury his head in Li Hongyu's chest and cry bitterly, wanting to vent all the grievances he had suffered these days.
Seeing this, the personal palace maid wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, waved her hand to the surrounding boatmen and led them away, not wanting to disturb Li Hongyu and Zhu Huiyuan getting along, and secretly felt happy for Zhu Huiyuan in her heart.
Since Li Hongyu and Zhu Huiyuan did not carry a change of clothes, Zhu Huiyuan's personal palace maid asked the boatman to sail the boat to the nearest town and bought a set of clothes for the two to change into.
"Brother Li, I don't want to stay in the palace anymore, this world is so big, I want to go outside to see the world."
In the cabin, Zhu Huiyuan, who had changed into a white dress, pillowed on Li Hongyu's lap, looked at the sky outside the window and said faintly, the palace seemed to her to be a cold cage, and she didn't want to waste her life like this, and wanted to see the world of flowers and flowers that Li Hongyu described to her.
At the same time, in this way, Zhu Huiyuan has time to get along with Li Hongyu, and she no longer has to be as sneaky as she is now.
"This matter depends on the emperor's intentions, if the emperor is reluctant to let you go, it is better for you to stay in the capital with peace of mind, so as not to worry about the emperor and the queen mother for you."
Li Hongyu smiled a little depressedly when he heard this, he saw Zhu Huiyuan's personality change and then opened his mouth to persuade, he was really afraid that Zhu Huiyuan would leave the palace without saying goodbye, whether it was a trouble to find him or not.
"As long as he says to go to Haicheng, the emperor's brother will definitely not stop him, he is very relieved of Haicheng." Zhu Huiyuan smiled slightly when she heard this, and looked at Li Hongyu confidently, the Emperor of the Apocalypse must believe that Li Hongyu can take care of her, so naturally he will not "block it too much."
"That's the best!"
Li Hongyu replied with some embarrassment when he heard this, he knew that Zhu Huiyuan was right, there was nothing to worry about having him take care of Zhu Huiyuan Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he never imagined that there would be a relationship between the two of them, which made him feel quite ashamed in his heart.
"Brother Li, it's good that I'm not a princess, in that case, we can be together openly!"
Where did Zhu Huiyuan know Li Hongyu's complicated mood at this time, and said with disappointment, it was her identity as a princess that made an invisible gap between her and Li Hongyu.
Li Hongyu smiled when he heard this, and reached out to stroke the show on Zhu Huiyuan's head, hoping that this emotional entanglement could have a happy ending, he didn't want to hurt Zhu Huiyuan.
