Chapter 15: The Princess Arrives
"What does Your Highness think of me?"
Hearing her extremely light words with a hint of warmth in her ears, Liu Yan suddenly felt that her chest was like a boulder pressing, and she was a little out of breath. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Tilting his head to meet her gaze, he felt that this pressure seemed to be tangible, and it could crush people to death. Liu Yan looked away very uneasily and said, "As a killer, you are very good, also... Very talented. β
Wang Ruoyu retracted his gaze with some disappointment, stood up again, and his tone returned to an extremely cold state: "Your Highness, I'm joking with you." β
Liu Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, is anyone joking like this? Even if it's a joke, it's supposed to be a grin and a flattering saying, I'm joking with you. How could she be so cold, that people can't laugh at all.
When I think back to the tone of what she just said in her ear, it didn't look like a confessional tone, but it was a little sarcastic and funny. The more Liu Yan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, he was a dignified prince, and he was actually molested by a woman.
But there was no place for him to be red at the moment, so he had to suppress his voice and say, "You go out first, I will look for you again if there is something." β
"Yesβ" She dragged out the end of the word for a long time, as if to mock him.
Liu Yan tightly locked his brows, I don't know why when he thought of the scene just now, his anger came up slowly, this woman is really bold!
"Your Highness, Your Highness." The butler screamed and stumbled into the inner room.
"What's wrong?" Liu Yan's frowning brows became tighter and tighter, and he didn't know what was going on.
The housekeeper swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "Your Highness, Princess Yongming is here, I heard that the emperor ordered her to stay in the Shunwang Mansion first." β
Liu Yan stood up with his support on the table and said in surprise: "What? How can she live in my house? β
"Your Highness... This... The Emperor's Message... This... Princess Yongming is still waiting for His Highness to arrange a place for her to sleep..."The butler looked at him in great embarrassment.
The emperor did not decree that Yongming should marry into the Shun Palace, but now he let her live in the Shun Mansion as an unmarried woman, and she didn't talk about it, what does the emperor mean by this?
Liu Yan sneered: "I really don't understand my father more and more, if you intend to give me Yongming, that will can be solved." I thought that my father had already chosen someone else, but now it's better to send her directly to my house, which is really incomprehensible. β
The butler spun around him and muttered, "That's... This... Temple..."
"Send someone to clean He Xuan, try to be as fast as possible." Liu Yan's face was a little gloomy, he paused, and said, "You send someone to settle Princess Yongming and invite her to eat in the main hall for dinner." β
"Your Highness? This Hexuan is the most remote courtyard in the house. The butler reminded with some uncertainty.
"Remote?" Liu Yan's eyes tightened, and he didn't dare to look up, "He Xuan is quiet and elegant, there are many flowers and trees, and it is best for the princess to stay there if she is not in good health, so as not to be disturbed by idlers." β
The butler replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, the humble and stupid is not as careful and thoughtful as His Highness." β
"Okay, let's go out, don't let the princess wait." Liu Yan shook his hand impatiently.
After Princess Yongming arrived at He Xuan, the love she showed finally made the housekeeper who had been worried settle down, her Royal Highness was so immature, and she was really not afraid of offending the princess.
After sending away the maidservants who were cleaning the yard and the handmaidens sent by King Shun to take care of him, Nuoda's courtyard left only a few personal maidservants she had brought from the country of Lu.
The butler walked away a little uneasily, muttering, "There is really no princess at all." β
Jing Min jumped into the courtyard, walked into the inner room of Yongming as if no one was around, saw her applying rouge in front of the mirror, leaning against the door and saying interestingly: "It's rare to see you dress up with your heart." β
Yongming was startled, his pale face instantly took on a little color, and he didn't know if it was the effect of rouge or he was frightened, "Did you come out of the ground?" I haven't been very energetic lately, so I used rouge to cover up, didn't you forget to bring medicine this time, right? β
"It's really time to take medicine, you've been feeling bad lately?" Jing Yan handed her the jade bottle in his hand, but his gaze, which had always been frivolous, was a little heavy today.
Yongming took the jade bottle, and when he touched his gaze, he couldn't help but be surprised, "What's wrong with you?" What's wrong? β
Jing Min turned his face away, smiled, and said, "What can happen?" Your room is empty. β
Yongming also followed his gaze in the room, and said with a smile: "Clean, I just like this comfortable feeling, and I don't feel bound in the palace." β
Jing Min couldn't help but pat her on the shoulder: "You, don't always open your mouth and shut up to be free or not, I've heard too much, it's annoying!" β
"Where did I just say the word freedom?!" Yongming asked with a slight frown.
"Still not a meant? Don't look at me like that, don't talk, it's all my fault. Jing Min made a stop gesture and sat down on the edge of her bed with a grin.
He wanted to sit on the stool, but there was a thick layer of ash on the stool, where could he sit down? The bed in this room was also cleaned, and it seemed that the maid was in a hurry to clean it halfway before the princess in front of her cleared it.
So he sneered again: "There is not even a place to drink tea." β
Yongming saw that he didn't leave, so he pushed him a little anxiously and said, "You can go, don't let people find out." β
Jing Min wanted to say a few more words, but Yongming pushed him out one by one, and he didn't have time to say a few more words, and when he turned around, he only saw a door.
Jing Min couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head and turned out of the Shunwang Mansion.
On the seventh day of March, his mother's fortieth birthday is today, and he wants to go home, six years, no, this year is the seventh year. For so many years, he didn't want to go home once, every time his mother climbed to the top of the mountain to see Chu Shenxia, and watched her bring the noodles she made to Chu Shenxia, his blood seemed to be boiling.
But gradually, his blood did not boil anymore, and it seemed that a bucket of cold water was constantly pouring on him, colding him from the beginning to the end. In fact, he didn't understand why his grandfather didn't allow him to live in this world again in the name of Chu Shenyu. Grandpa said that if Chu Shenyu died, he was dead.
Today, somehow, that familiar feeling of pouring hot blood swept over, and there seemed to be a fire in his body, and he couldn't vent it if he wanted to.
Jing Min sat on the side of the eaves, staring blankly at the people coming and going below, his father seemed to be a little older than before. In the past few years, my father has seen everything he has done, and he doesn't want to criticize his father, as he said at the beginning, you are my father no matter what, and this will not change.
Chu Shenxia helped her mother out of the back room, her mother was smiling, and the years had left too many marks on her face, so that she smiled with a little haggard.
The guests all stepped forward to congratulate, and for a while there was a commotion in the courtyard, Jing Min glanced at the guests lightly, most of them were some merchants that his father knew before he was an official. Their Chu family has no relatives or relatives, and their mother Li Luo has nothing else except for his grandfather Li Fu, and his father Chu Zhi is a single family for three generations, and Chu Zhi's parents have long since died.
Chu Shenxia waited for his mother to sit down before he sat down beside her, and laughed and talked with everyone during the banquet.
However, his father never made eye contact with Chu Shenxia with a straight face, and his mother gently put her hand on his father's knee and patted it lightly, as if to comfort him.
The father smiled at the mother, then got up to toast the guests, and the guests naturally responded enthusiastically.
Mother took advantage of this gap to turn to Chu Shenxia, sometimes with a smile on her face, sometimes frowning and not speaking, but finally sighed and got up.
Chu Shenxia wanted to get up to help, but his mother shook her head, glanced at him, and said a word. Jing Yan vaguely discerned that what she said was: "Spend more time with your father." β
My mother, who had always been overwhelmed by alcohol, was a little dizzy at the moment, and her body was shaking a little unsteadily. Jing Yan jumped between his eyebrows, and couldn't help poking his head out, seeing his mother's eyes drifting here, he quickly retracted and jumped off the eaves.
After landing, his heart was still beating fast, and he tried his best to control his breathing, but he still couldn't help but get confused. Footsteps sounded from behind, and it was too late for him to escape, so he stood still and didn't move.
A hand suddenly put on his shoulder, Jing Yan tightened his body, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, until a familiar voice came from behind him, and he slowed down.
"Jing Min, why are you here?" Chu Shenxia looked at him with some surprise.
The expression on Jing Min's face gradually relaxed, and he smiled reluctantly: "I'll come to see you." β
"Why is your breath so messy? What's wrong? Chu Shenxia was a little hurried when he heard him exhale, so he looked at him suspiciously.
A paper fan suddenly appeared in front of Chu Shenxia, and the girl's girly voice faintly came from behind the paper fan, "Brother Chu, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much~"
Chu Shenxia frowned, then waved away the paper fan in his hand and said in a deep voice: "It's better not to see you." β
Jing Yan smiled, put away the paper fan, and with a twist of his wrist, he took out a box made of sandalwood, and said solemnly: "I heard that today is your mother's birthday, and my little brother came to offer treasures." β
The corners of Chu Shenxia's mouth raised slightly, and he took the box, but the corners of his eyes kept glancing at him, and said with a smile: "What is it?" It can't be something scary, right? β
Halfway through speaking, he opened the box, Jing Yi was startled, and could only hold his breath and look at the string of Buddhist beads in the box, but fortunately, Chu Shenxia didn't think much about it, but just smiled: "Thank you, my mother has been very obsessed with Buddhism in recent years, and my mother should like it." β
Jing Min looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to say, how long had he not paid attention to his mother. This string of Buddhist beads was abandoned by my mother when she came to the mountain a year ago, and at that time, my mother hurriedly saw Chu Shenxia and was about to go down the mountain, in order to find this string of Buddhist beads. It was a snowy day, and my mother was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, and from then on, her waist was not very sensitive.
He doesn't know?! Jing Yunden was a little angry, and he didn't pay attention to the wording for a while and blurted out: "This is my mother specially went to the temple to ask for it, and the master said that you are in great trouble, and you need to be resolved by your close relatives with chanting every day." When my mother lost this string of Buddhist beads, she was so anxious that she couldn't eat, but the old man accidentally picked it up in a flower pot in the Taoist hall not long ago! β
Chu Shenxia was also a little self-reproachful when he said this, and his strength in grasping the box couldn't help but deepen. Over the years, his mother has worked tirelessly to see him, but he has never taken some time to spend with her. Rao is celebrating his mother's birthday this time, and he can't stay long, he comes in a hurry and leaves in a hurry.
Jing Min suddenly realized that he had just blurted out the word mother, and his heart was in turmoil again, but fortunately, Chu Shenxia didn't notice it at all, so he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and laughed: "Recently.... Jincheng is not peaceful, I went to the old man, you take care of yourself. β
