Chapter 34: Forced Laughter
Chao Yishen didn't sleep all night yesterday, and when he saw Ruan Bing suddenly come back, he somehow didn't have a temper at all, and just wanted to hug her well.
And Ruan Bing never dared to sleep, she didn't know which tendon Chao Yishen was wrong. As soon as I touched the bed, I fell asleep, and I kept holding her, so that I didn't even dare to turn over, and my body was stiff. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore, and moved her body, but she woke Chao Yishen up.
"Uncomfortable?" Chao Yishen leaned into Ruan Bing's hair again, as if he was enjoying the feeling.
Ruan Bing subconsciously swallowed his saliva, his eyes widened, "No...... No. ”
Chao Yishen saw Ruan Bing's discomfort, dragged her body over and turned it over, and then buried her head in his arms, and pressed his chin against Ruan Bing's hair, as if he was holding a child.
Ruan Bing was so frightened that he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, allowing him to flip himself over.
"When did your leg heal?" Ruan Bing asked in a low voice.
"Yesterday."
"Oh......"
There was silence again.
"By the way, what are you asking me to take? Do you need me to go? ”
"No, it doesn't matter now." Chao Yishen always closed his eyes, his tone was extremely lazy, and at the same time, the strength of the hug was a little heavier.
Ruan Bing's face was always frozen, and he really couldn't stand this atmosphere, "I'm hungry......"
"Hungry? Then I'll take you to dinner. Chao Yishen let go of Ruan Bing, got up and picked him up and prepared to go out.
Ruan Bing immediately excused himself and said, "I...... Just let Ah Yu do it for me in a while, you can get busy with your going first! ”
"I'm not busy, and I'm hungry too, so let's eat together."
Ruan Bing didn't know what to say, and kept wondering in his heart: Chao Yishen, what's wrong?
"Good...... bar. ”
At the dinner table, Chao Yishen kept serving Ruan Bing vegetables.
"Come on, you eat more." The words are full of tenderness.
“...... Good"
Ruan Bing smiled bitterly: No, I really can't stand it, I have been so abnormal since I came back to Chao Yishen, and now I am suddenly so good, it won't be the calm before the storm, right?
"Eat too, see how haggard you are." Saying that, Ruan Bing also enthusiastically served Chao Yi with vegetables, no matter what, there is always nothing wrong with pleasing him.
"Thank you, ma'am."
“......”
Lingling came to the door of Chao Yishen's study after breakfast to wait for him, and this time he had to explain it to him no matter what.
Seeing him coming this way, he greeted him with a worried face: "Chao Yu! It's finally waiting for you. Did the third princess find it? ”
"Found it."
"That's good, actually...... I've always wanted to say goodbye to you. Lingling lowered her head, and her nose began to get a little clogged.
Chao Yishen looked at her and understood in an instant, "Are you leaving?" ”
"Well, Xiaoxiao and I are going back, we feel more comfortable with our previous lives, so we're going back! Don't miss us. Ling Ling looked up and smiled, but in fact, there were tears in his eyes.
"I haven't been able to thank you for saving me. In a moment, I will ask the butler to prepare a carriage and some coils for the two of you, which will be enough for you to rest easy in the future, and it is the only thing I can do for you. ”
"Then I'll take it as your reward. After leaving today, you can go to the original place when you think of us, goodbye~" Lingling gently hugged Chao Yi deeply, the tears in her eyes couldn't hold back anymore, she quickly turned around and ran into the distance, her hands kept waving.
Chao Yishen looked at her back and shouted at her: "Goodbye - by the way, my real name is Chao Yishen!" ”
Ling Ling instantly burst into tears and laughed, choking in a voice, "Okay...... I remembered ......"
"Sister, will we come back again?" Smiled and looked at Lingling innocently.
"My sister doesn't know, if Xiaoxiao wants to come back, my sister will take you to take a look, okay?"
"Good!"
The two siblings got into the carriage and drove away from Chao Yudu, unaware that a pair of eyes had been staring at them for a long time......
"Is there something wrong with the Vice-Chancellor calling me?" Chao Yicen showed a chill on his face and looked at the auxiliary king in the audience expressionlessly.
"Lord Wang, I recently heard that you have been circling around the third princess, but what are your important plans?" The Vice-Chancellor spoke in a rather tough tone.
Chao Yicen's heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, his fists clenched subconsciously, and at the same time glared in the direction of Chao Yijing, "I have my own thoughts, and the auxiliary political king doesn't have to worry about it." ”
"Lord, the minister still has to advise you to be in the emperor's house, don't be emotional."
"I don't need you to remind me! The Auxiliary King just needs to do his part! Chao Yicen was a little angry, and his eyes were full of anger.
"It's good that the prince knows, and it's inconvenient for the minister to say more. The ministers will do their best to assist the great prince and let you sit on the throne as soon as possible. ”
In the court
"Your Majesty, in a few days, the envoys from Inner Mongolia will go to Chaoyudu." A minister said.
"The day is really coming, and the palace will become very lively at this time. Haha, Cen Er, Shen'er, when the time comes, you princes must behave well, let them see how good my son is, and let them know how strong Chaoyu is now! ”
"Yes, Father!" The five of them said in unison.
Three days later, the table was set up in the hall of Chaoyu, and the singing and dancing were leveled, so it was not lively.
"The envoy came here thousands of miles away, and he was tired of traveling all the way, why did he bring so many things, it's really polite!" The emperor sat on the dragon chair, his eyes looking at the woman next to the messenger from time to time.
Her face was covered by a veil, and under her thick eyelashes was a pair of deep, slightly melancholy black grape-like eyes that seemed to hook someone in just one glance.
The envoy clasped his fists and saluted, and complimented: "The emperor said that it is our blessing that you can let us come to pay tribute, and now I am really sighed to see Chaoyu so prosperous, it can be seen how holy your reign is!" Inner Mongolia is vast and sparsely populated, and there is nothing unusual, only 3,000 high-quality rams were brought. This is our Inner Mongolia princess Ina princess, please smile and hope that the friendship between Chaoyu and our Mongolia will last forever! ”
"Haha, the messenger is really too polite, I'm already very happy that you guys can come. Princess Ina is really the beauty of the country, today I am happy, I am specially named Princess Ina as Concubine Xi, living in Yiqing Garden! Come, come to me. The Emperor stared at Princess Ina, with a smile on his face, and held out his hand to signal her to come.
Ina stared at the man in front of her, buried the hatred and grievances in her heart, and slowly walked to his side.
The Emperor gently lifted Ina's veil, and at first glance he was fascinated, "Beauty! It's so beautiful! Messenger, go back and thank the Mongolian prince for sending me such a beauty, hahaha! ”
Music sounded in the main hall, the dancers waved their hands, and the ministers toasted each other, and the scene was joyful. At this moment, there is only one person with a faint pain in his heart, and he is sick to his stomach at this scene, and he still needs to force a smile in his heart......
The crowd dispersed, and Ina was carried to the palace by the emperor.
"Concubine Xi, you are really so beautiful, I have never seen such a beautiful face." The emperor kissed Ina's body, and his words were ambiguous.
"Your Majesty, do you like concubines?" Concubine Xi silently endured everything on her body, but her heart hurt like a knife.
"Yes, I really like you so much, I want you to stay by my side forever."
Ina closed her eyes, tears silently streaming from the corners of her eyes, and her hands clenched tighter and tighter.
