Chapter 4 Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water

"The princess invited me to dinner? No way? Xu Chen probably thought that he had misheard, until he saw Zi'er's calm expression, and he believed it.

"The princess has already known about the fact that the princess locked you up, and Long Yan is furious! The emperor has severely reprimanded the princess, I haven't seen the emperor angry with the princess, and the princess has been wronged to death. Zi'er said as if indignant.

"So you mean I deserve to be wronged?"

Xu Chen said, it was unbelievable that Emperor Li San was angry with his baby daughter? Am I so heavy on this colt, right? But this is also good news, at least for the time being, to ensure that the princess will not do anything ridiculous in the future, it is really a strange story to lock up the newlywed husband like this, not to mention that this husband is still the martial champion appointed by the emperor, and it is Li San who decreed marriage, the princess does this, where can Li San's face go?

On the contrary, what Xu Chen is worried about now is that although Li San has taught his own pearl a lesson, how can this pampered princess be angry, and she will definitely hate her husband even more. It's better to be careful.

"Well, then please tell her that I won't go unless she comes to invite me herself."

Zi'er was obviously taken aback by the horse's words, and hurriedly said: "The master of the horse is angry, the slave and maid don't mean this, the slave and the maid thought that the princess cried all night last night, but she felt sorry for the master, and she didn't mean anything else." ”

In Zi'er's eyes, in addition to the holy decree, the princess has never been a surname that cannot be bowed, if you tell the princess this words, the consequences will only be worse, thinking that she is also embarrassed, she is in a hurry, and tears begin to roll in her eyes.

Xu Chen looked at this posture and said with a smile: "Look at you, I just made a joke with you, how dare I bother the princess, let's go now." ”

Xu Chen now thinks that he should go to meet the princess for a while, this is a good opportunity to ease the tension between the two, the two of them have to make things clear after all, although the princess clearly does not like herself, and is very resistant to this marriage, but raw rice has become cooked rice, it is difficult to change, he can't divorce the princess and give her freedom, the consequences of doing so will definitely be death and miserable, the emperor's daughter, you dare to leave, do you take the royal family as a child's play?

It's just that considering what the princess really does to him in the future, divorce him or find a reason to kill him, he has to be cautious, after all, he doesn't know the princess's surname, in case she is like the princess of Yicheng, both silver and cruel, then he is really **.

His only hope now is that the princess can reform through this incident and be more restrained, so she can be regarded as a part-time martial artist, and it is a bit unreasonable to be bullied like this by her. "You don't like me, can you tell me, what's the matter with locking me up?" Xu Chen said in his heart. His requirements are not high, just ask the princess not to embarrass him in the future......

The front yard of the princess's house.

When he came out of the wing, he had planned to say goodbye to the eunuchs who were guarding him, but he found that they had already left......

This princess's mansion is very magnificent, all kinds of long corridors, all kinds of walls that can only be seen from TV dramas, there are shady willow trees around the corridor, and a few big trees can be seen in the yard in the distance, obviously this princess's mansion has been built very early.

It's early summer now, but he doesn't feel hot, Xu Chen walked inside and found that there was not much sense of disobedience, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as for whether it was excitement or panic, he couldn't be sure, in short, it was a wonderful and indescribable feeling.

The courtyard is very large, and I met many eunuchs and maids along the way, and Xu Chen was probably locked up in the backyard, where these servants lived. When they saw the horses, they all saluted. Xu Chen also nodded in response, and it was quite refreshing to be complimented.

Talking to Zi'er along the way, I asked what is interesting in Chang'an, if I can reconcile with the princess this time, and reach a consensus - "You don't need me, I don't need you, let's not make the well water the river water in the future." "Then no one will care about him in the future, and it will be convenient to go out for a walk, Zi'er turned a deaf ear to Xu Chen's question, but kept telling him to be careful when he saw the princess, so as not to make any more unpleasant trouble.

Half a pillar of incense had already come to the front yard, and Zi'er pointed to the wing room on the left side of the corridor and said, "The princess is there." Immediately, the two of them went inside.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw many people standing inside, two eunuchs, five or six palace maids, they were standing next to a long table, this room was very large, and there were several idle tables in it, which seemed to be a special place for banquets. The table was already full of sumptuous dishes, all kinds of novel roasted dishes that Xu Chen had never seen, and the fragrant delicacy filled the whole room, and Xu Chen felt hungry.

At this time, there was a young girl sitting opposite the long table, naturally it was Princess Li Caier of Anyi.

Li Cai'er is wearing a purple tulle floor-length skirt today, on her graceful figure, her chest is more prominent, her hair is looking at the fairy, there are pink jade bead pendants hanging on her ears, and golden ceremonial flowers are pasted on the bandeau chest, and then look at her delicate face, charming eyes, and eyebrows that are not deep or shallow, like a fairy, full of beautiful young women in the boudoir. If you don't know the true face of this little girl, the big engineer will really be fascinated by her, and the temperament of a classical woman is something that modern female surnames will never be able to achieve.

"Princess, here comes the colt." Zi'er curtsied to the princess.

"Bestow the seat".

In a simple word, Li Shuang'er didn't even raise her head, and she didn't even look at him since Xu Chen came in.

Feeling utterly despised, which the Grand Engineer could not tolerate, he chose to fight violently - not saluting the princess. Although the princess of the Tang Dynasty and the concubine were absolutely monarchs and ministers, in fact, for the two parties who have been married, whether or not they are a monarch and a minister is not a major matter worth pursuing, and the princess naturally does not care much about it.

Although he was in front of a Li San's pearl, he was not nervous, on the contrary, everything came casually, firstly, he felt that even though this princess hated him very much, the emperor had warned her, so she would not do anything out of the ordinary, and secondly, since it was an invitation from the princess, the purpose was obviously to ease the relationship between the two parties.

Xu Chen knows the most in his heart that if he wants to live in this world, it is naturally better not to offend her, and it should be time-sharing to show masculinity, but he can't be too flattering, which can only make Li Shuang'er hate him even more, Xu Chen's current situation is not optimistic.

A eunuch standing at the door walked to the middle of the long table, pulled out a chair, and Xu Chen went over and sat down, this position happened to sit opposite Li Shuang'er, but he sat uncomfortably, as if he could feel the indifference spreading from her.

Xu Chen sat there, facing the delicious food on the table, his saliva was about to flow out, but the guest didn't speak, and he was embarrassed to move the chopsticks, the two of them just sat like this, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little embarrassing.

Li Shuang'er couldn't say that she hated the husband in front of her, but she hated it very much, she didn't understand why her father forced her to marry the most hated person like this, and she didn't let her have a chance to refute. Without any warning beforehand, the emperor married off his daughter, and even if he asked her, she felt better. So I don't know if it's out of resentment towards her father or disgust with this martial champion, she doesn't want to look at him more, and she gets angry when she thinks about it.

Li Shuang'er didn't know the person in front of her, she only heard that this person was a scoundrel when he was a child, and he did some things like stealing chickens and dogs, but obviously his father looked at him differently. This made Li Shuang'er unbearable, she didn't understand what merits such a martial artist from a low-level society and no background could have to be favored by his father.

But under the pressure of her father, Li Shuang'er had to choose to bow her head, she had never seen her father get angry with her because of one thing, but this did happen, the source of everything was that she locked up her newlywed horse, but she didn't feel guilty, thinking that she was going to spend the rest of her life with someone she couldn't like, and resentment arose.

But now that I am married, the raw rice is ripe, and it is difficult for me to change anything. Probably because she read a lot of books, Li Shuang'er did not inherit the common problem of the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and she paid special attention to women's loyalty. But she didn't know when the romantic plot sprouted in her heart, she couldn't accept a person she didn't like or even hated as a husband, and she still had a glimmer of hope, that is, her father changed his mind and put this horse away.

Hughing the horse is definitely a long-term plan, and besides, this is not a new thing, as long as the horse does something wrong, and does not affect himself and anger his father, then it is done. She felt that she was going to frame him when necessary, of course, her framing was based on a way that did not harm the life of the horse, just divorced him, and it would not have much impact on him, and all this was not his fault, which Li Shuang'er still understood very well.

But before that happens, she has to make sure the colt poses a threat to herself.

So today's meal is mainly to probe the horse's tone and see if he is an honest person who can be manipulated. If so, then in the future, the two of them will not interfere with the river water for the time being, and they will be safe until they divorce him, if he is a villain who is difficult to control and makes excessive demands, then he will definitely die a miserable death

After a while, Li Shuang'er still spoke.

"Do you know what this dish is called?"

Li Shuang'er pointed to a dish in front of Xu Chen and asked.

Xu Chen didn't expect that the conversation between the two started with a question. It was a dish of braised carp, and the middle of the plate was made of a food to make the door, but obviously the drunkard did not mean to drink, Xu Chen just glanced at the princess and did not answer.

"Do you know what the consequences of a carp jumping over the dragon gate are?" Li Shuang'er continued to ask.

The voice is quiet, but there is a suffocating momentum.

Li Shuang'er didn't seem to wait for Xu Chen's answer, and continued: "After the carp crossed the Dragon Gate, it thought that it could turn into a dragon and a phoenix, so it got carried away, but in fact, it was not a paradise after the Dragon Gate, but there was a broader river there, and the river gods there were ferocious, the river was turbulent, and there were groups of water beasts, and the situation would only be more dangerous than before.

Therefore, those carp can only obey the arrangement of the river god and be obedient so as not to lose their surname. ”

The first time Xu Chen heard that there was such an explanation for the carp jumping over the dragon gate, this insinuation is too obvious, this is clearly to give me a horse to be honest in the future. Of course, you still have to endure it, you are rich, and you have no capital to go crazy. But don't be too weak, at least let the princess know that she is a master who can't be manipulated by others

"Do you know what this dish is?" This time it's Xu Chen's problem.

Li Shuang'er didn't expect Xu Chen to dare to ask questions to herself, she looked at him with disdain, and then looked at the big plate of roast suckling pig he pointed to on the table.

When the pig was young and her mother bathed it, the pig said, "Mother, mother, the water is too hot!" "When the pig mother heard this, she added hot water, and the pig was scalded to death......"

After seeing the little pig being scalded to death, the little pig said proudly: "It's okay now, the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water." ”

That's why this pig is here."

After Li Shuang'er heard this cold joke, her face was suspicious, she probably didn't understand what this guy wanted to say, but after hearing "Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water", she was stunned, thinking that this guy was clearly cheeky, relying on his father's prestige to get along with him, how could he bear it? !

After a while, only to hear a sneer, Na Zi'er hurriedly covered her mouth, as if she had only understood Xu Chen's story, but she couldn't help laughing. He said: "Master Horse, the little pig's mother is inevitably ......" just wanted to continue, but saw the princess's watery eyes staring at him, and he held back the words behind.
