Chapter Ninety-Nine: There Is No Escape
Hua Junze sighed slightly in his heart, Ying Che was sent to another country as a hostage since he was a child, and ten years of proton life was not something ordinary people could imagine, he never told anyone how he spent those ten years, but he heard that when he was picked up, he was injured all over his body, and he was hungry and left with a pair of skin and bones.
The saint felt guilty, and in order to make up for him, he became more and more pampered and indulgent, giving him whatever he wanted.
Some officials once privately discussed, according to the saint's favor for King Rui, I am afraid that if King Rui wants the throne, the saint will abolish the crown prince for him to sit on.
Therefore, the queen and the crown prince's party hated Yingche deeply and regarded it as a thorn in the flesh, but because of the saint's eccentricity and protection, they couldn't find a good opportunity to start for a while, so they could only watch the Ruiwang party gradually grow.
And it may also be that ten years of quality life made his heart different from ordinary people, and everything was done casually. Coupled with the fact that the saint gave him what he wanted, he blurred his personal likes and dislikes, and created his current character.
He couldn't help frowning, worried about Jiao Niang's future.
Having said that, since that day, Jiao Niang has never gone out, lying in bed all day long, but she can't sleep well during the day or night, and the whole person is sad and can't lift a little energy.
Qing Huan said that she was scared, yes, she was indeed scared.
He has been married to Yingche for two years, and he still doesn't know him? What he wants, he must get, and if he can't get it, he would rather destroy it than let others get it.
I remember that at the annual banquet one year, the Holy One rewarded a large number of gold, silver and jewels for their brothers to choose from. He and the prince took a fancy to a delicate jade tree carved from jade at the same time, and the two did not let each other go, in the end, it was the prince of a country, and the saint wanted to save face for him, so he asked Yingche to give it to the prince, and said that he would take out a better reward from the treasury to him. Unexpectedly, Ying Che immediately turned his face and smashed the priceless thing on the spot.
Thinking that the exquisite jade tree is still owned by the saint, he said that he would destroy it, not to mention that he was a small weak girl.
If you want to ask Jiao Niang, is she afraid, she has already died once, and she doesn't want to die again before all the grudges have been avenged.
At the same time, after these few days, she also slowly figured out a truth, the people and things that are destined are not something you can hide if you want to.
She dodged the first birthday ceremony and ran to Licheng, not finally bumping into herself.
If she said that she had been ignorant of his thoughts before, she could still pretend to be ignorant, but that day she had already opened her up, and he would not let her go in his words, so how could she pretend again.
Therefore, since she couldn't hide or escape, she accepted her fate and accepted the arrangement of fate.
It's just, another person......
Jiao Niang picked up a piece of Pisces mutton fat jade pendant on the makeup, the jade is delicate, and the makeup is like clotted fat, which was handed over to her by Yu Qiao Niang a few days ago, and he said that this is a relic left to him by his mother, and it is for his future daughter-in-law.
Cheng Yu thought about the mirror, I am afraid that he knew about the entanglement between King Rui and her, and sent this piece of jade, he wanted to tell her that no matter how powerful King Rui was, as long as she was firm in him, he would be fearless.
But she was afraid, she was afraid of losing this little life, she was afraid that the Hua family would be affected, she was even more afraid that Ying Che would turn to revenge him, she was afraid, she was afraid, she was afraid too much.
"Shui Xiangβ" She wrapped it in a brocade box and called Shui Xiang, "Give this back to Cheng Yu Gongzi." β
Shui Xiang took it, looked at her expression, saw that her expression was declining, her eyebrows were sad, and she asked later, "Does the girl have anything to say?"
Jiao Niang shook her head, he would understand. Shui Xiang understood, "Then I'll go." Then he thought, "By the way, girl, the eldest prince has come and asked you to go to his." β
"Do you know what's going on?"
"I didn't say it. β
Jiao Niang felt strange in her heart, but she didn't say anything, so she asked Qing Huan to dress her and went to Hua Junze's courtyard.
Because Hua Junze's residence is close to Cheng Yu, Jiao Niang and Shui Xiang walked along the way, and when they arrived at the gate of Hua Junze Courtyard, Shui Xiang said: "Girl, go in, I'll come and wait after I send something." β
Jiao Niang nodded and entered the hospital. It is an open courtyard on all sides, with a bridge in the middle, separating the pool, planted lotuses, raising several large koi, watching the fish shuttle among the lotuses, and even fun. Such a scenery can be seen without going out, and you can imagine what kind of person Hua Junze is who will enjoy it.
A maid greeted her at the door, and opened the bamboo curtain to invite the lady in. Jiao Niang went in, but saw that there was no one, so she asked, "Where is your uncle?"
The maid is twelve or thirteen years old, with a long face, spots on her cheeks, and a mediocre appearance, "Uncle still has some things to do in the study, let the girl wait a while, sit down and drink tea first." β
As he spoke, another maid brought tea, and then the two of them withdrew together.
Jiao Niang took a sip of tea, Hua Junze knew her preferences, and loved to drink Taiping Monkey Kui, the tea was fragrant like an orchid, overflowing with fragrance, but at this time Jiao Niang had no intention of tasting tea, strange that he called her, but hid in the study to do errands, and hung her here, what does it mean?
It wasn't until Jiao Niang counted the chrysanthemum petals on the golden chrysanthemum picture he hung on the wall that she heard a steady footstep approaching.
"How are you-" Jiao Niang thought it was Hua Junze, and her voice was sneering, and when she turned around, her words stopped abruptly, with a smile on her face as she saw someone come and dress up, "See His Royal Highness King Rui." β
I already knew in my heart that the damn Hua Junze had deceived her.
Ying Che's anger that day had long since disappeared, and he walked over with a smile, as if he knew her thoughts, and said, "It was this king who asked Jun Ze to call you." β
Jiao Niang didn't answer him, turned around, and pretended to look at the painting.
"Still angry?" Ying Che asked again, Jiao Niang still didn't reply, Ying Che saw her tense little face, sank her breath, slowed down slightly, and said: "At the end of the month, this king will return to Beijing, you can go back with this king." β
His voice was gentle, but it couldn't hide his uncompromising tone.
When he went back, a sedan chair entered his house through the back door? Jiao Niang's heart was half cold, and her shoulders hung down with the decline of her mood, and she only pretended to be stupid, "Your Highness, wait for the early autumn draft, and my father will come to pick me up at that time." β
Knowing that her heart was like a mirror, she only pretended to be confused with herself, Yingche looked solemn, stared at Jiao Niang's face fixedly, and said: "Jiao Niang, you are smart, you should understand the king's thoughts about you." β
Although she didn't raise her head, her burning gaze was still hot and Jiao Niang's face was red, Ying Che looked at her shyness, and felt even more coquettish, and her voice gradually softened, "This king has never worked so anyone, you are the first and probably the only one." β
Jiao Niang's heart trembled, this is true, with his identity, who he wants is just a sentence, it is rare for him to spend so much time for her.
She relaxed slightly, "Your Highness Xie raises love, but Jiao Niang can't afford it." Raising his eyes, he saw that his face was cold, and hurriedly continued: "Jiao Niang's sister is His Royal Highness's side concubine, if His Royal Highness rashly takes me back to the house, I'm afraid my sister will be angry with me." β
"So you are taking care of your sister. Ying Che thought that she was alienated from him because of this, and her mood suddenly broadened, her eyebrows stretched, she raised a smile, and said firmly: "Your sister is virtuous, she definitely won't." β
Jiao Niang suppressed the sneer from the bottom of her heart, and then said slowly: "Your Highness is not a sister, how do you know what your sister thinks in her heart." Women in this world, no one wants to share their husband with others, even if they are their own sisters, they will have a grudge, Your Highness can guarantee that my sister does not hate me?" After speaking, she turned her head and looked directly into his eyes, her eyes were aggressive, and she was suffocated when she saw it, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
