Chapter 142: Stern Refusal
"Dom, I'm serious. I don't have any other feelings for you, besides, I also have my own bonds in this Chaoyang City. So, I'm not going back with you. β
After Li Qiuchi finished speaking in one breath, Dom lowered his eyes, his thick brown and yellow long hair drooped down, and he looked aggrieved. Li Qiuchi didn't mean to comfort him, she had said it all on this bright side, and Dom wouldn't not understand.
Li Qiuchi inadvertently turned his head, but saw Chu Jinrong's growing smile, like a dazzling star, so charming. Seeing Chu Jinrong's eyes, for some reason, her heart trembled, and she pretended to look away as if nothing happened. The smile in Chu Jinrong's eyes became even stronger.
Dom stood in front of the two of them, watching their tacit eyes pass through the eyes, and he suddenly laughed heartily.
"I see." His smile was as clean and pure as the sun, "Since you have affection for each other, I, Dom, will naturally not be the one who snatches love with such a sword." In the future, I won't bother Akiike anymore. β
Li Qiuchi heard what he said about having affection for each other, and for some reason, his face turned red.
Chu Jinrong didn't argue, he also laughed: "You are the prince of Mu Yingying?" Qiu'er has always longed for the customs of Mu Ying, but she rarely has the opportunity to go. β
Dom smiled knowingly, and took the opportunity to invite, "If Qiuchi wants to go, I can invite the two of you to go with me." β
Li Qiuchi's eyes lit up slightly, and he subconsciously looked at Chu Jinrong, and only after seeing him smile and nodding did he start to be excited. After reacting, she felt that something was wrong, why did she go and report to Chu Jinrong?
Chu Jinrong smiled gently and returned the salute to him: "In this way, we will be disrespectful." β
At this time, a cheerful and lively voice sounded outside the courtyard.
"Little leaf, the kite flies too high! Lowerβ"
All three of them came back to their senses, attracted by the cheerful voice, and walked out the door in unison.
Outside the door is a garden, the vast lake reflects the blue sky, and the woman on the ground, dressed in pink, keeps running in the garden, looking up at the kite in the sky, smiling like a flower. It seems to be the most beautiful color of autumn, flickering like a butterfly. The eunuchs and palace maids behind him followed nervously, for fear that she would bump into him.
"Princess, slow down......"
Li Qiuchi looked at the people running not far away, and her mood was also cheerful, and the corners of her mouth rose.
"This is my second sister, who is the same concubine as me, and is also the princess of Fukang in the palace." Chu Jinrong smiled beside her to solve her doubts.
Only then did Li Qiuchi react, and after taking a closer look, there were indeed many similarities with Chu Jinrong's eyebrows. She was puzzled: "Since I entered your East Palace, it is the first time I have seen Princess Fukang. β
Chu Jinrong raised his eyebrows, "She has been studying in the study before, so she rarely returns to the East Palace." However, now that winter is approaching, there are naturally fewer classes in the study. β
Li Qiuchi nodded clearly, but for some reason, she always felt that Chu Jinrong's eyes were a little meaningful.
At this time, Fukang also noticed the three people standing at the gate of the courtyard, her eyes were slightly bright, and after handing the kite to the eunuch who followed beside her, she rushed over, like a bright butterfly in spring.
"Brother Huang! Brother Huang! On the way over, her face was full of excitement, but Chu Jinrong took two steps back in disgust.
Seeing Chu Jinrong's movements, she walked up to him, and her face suddenly fell, "Brother Huang seems to be very reluctant to see Fukang." β
Chu Jinrong's face was expressionless: "How come, the imperial brother likes you the most, you see, I see how happy you are." β
Fukang: "......" didn't see happiness, okay?
She glared at him dissatisfied: "Brother Huang is not sincere at all. β
Chu Jinrong sighed twice, his voice was gloomy, "What have you learned in the past few months in the study?" It's better to talk to you and my royal brother. β
Fukang chuckled in his heart, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly held her hand after seeing Li Qiuchi standing next to him: "This is the imperial sister-in-law, right?" The royal sister-in-law is so good-looking! β
Li Qiuchi came back to his senses and laughed happily: "You are also good-looking, was Princess Fukang flying a kite just now?" As she spoke, her gaze glanced at the kite in the hand of the eunuch behind her.
Fukang's eyes were crooked, as if there were stars twinkling, and the hand holding Li Qiuchi kept shaking, and he said twice, "Yes, yes, it's fun, the imperial sister-in-law will try it too?" β
Li Qiuchi was excited, he had never flown a kite since he came here. She was about to say yes, when suddenly Fukang's gaze rested on Dom, and the sun shone on his handsome and deep side face, and Fukang couldn't help but be stunned.
After seeing Dom's puzzled looking back, she excitedly let go of Li Qiuchi's hand, ran to Dom, and asked him with a smile, "Who are you?" β
"......" Li Qiuchi.
"......" Chu Jinrong.
Dom smiled politely, "Hello Princess Fookham, I'm Dom, the envoy of Mu England. β
"Dom......" Fukang muttered the name, and suddenly his eyes laughed, as bright as stars, "Your appearance is very strange, different from our Central Plains, it's really funny." She leaned over again to take a closer look, the corners of her lips curled, "But you're good-looking, and I like it very much." β
Dom didn't know how to reply, so he could only return the salute, "Thank you, Princess Beverly, for the compliment, you are also very good-looking." β
"Hehe, I think I'm good-looking, too." Fukang turned around excitedly, "Brother Huang, he always praises me as the best-looking woman in the capital." She raised her chin proudly and asked him happily: "Brother Huang, you say, am I the best-looking woman in the capital?" β
The topic suddenly led to Chu Jinrong, and after he reacted, he twitched the corners of his mouth, "...... Be. β
In fact, it is to perfunctory her nonsense.
Fukang heard his affirmative answer, and became even more excited, and suddenly turned his head to look at Dom and smiled, "Would Dom like to fly a kite with me?" Kite flying is fun! β
Dom was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm, and he smiled awkwardly, "We don't have kites, so I won't fly them, I'm afraid I'm going to spoil the princess's interest." β
Fukang didn't care at all, and said with a smile: "It's okay! I can teach you! With that, she took the kite from the eunuch beside her, and dragged Dom to a more open field.
The two of them could be vaguely seen in the distance, and Fukang taught Dom by hand, and soon Dom understood the trick and began to play. In the distance, the sound of Beverly's laughter kept ringing.
Chu Jinrong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he saw the two of them having a good time, "Speaking of which, I haven't played with a kite for a long time, why don't we fly a kite too?" β
