Chapter 141: Agreeing to Trade Policy
Chu Jinrong looked at Fulin with relief, his face was happy, it seemed that Lin'er had grown up and knew how to share his worries.
After the trade was concluded, he and his envoys drank again until the sun waned. The envoys were happy to be able to negotiate a deal that would be of great benefit to the country, and the boredom of so many days was dissipated.
Although Li Qiuchi was proud that his method could work like this, he lost his joy when he thought that this method had been stolen. Drinking tea cup by cup with a straight face, his face was full of lack of interest.
Dom was happy, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Qiuchi's depressed expression, and he couldn't help but twist his eyebrows. Is she unhappy here?
Chu Jinrong also sensed her depressed mood, and said with concern: "If you are still unhappy that she robbed you of your credit, then it is better for me to help you and snatch your credit back." ”
Li Qiuchi shook his head with a smile, "Forget it...... I don't really care about the credit, but I don't feel very happy when I hear what I think of from other people. There is no need to do such a childish thing. ”
She said sincerely, but Chu Jinrong heard it with another meaning, he pursed his lips tightly, his face was heavy, "I know." ”
Li Qiuchi's face was inexplicably confused when he said that he would change, and she had no choice but to hold her forehead, hey, the man's heart was needled.
The next day, the sun was just right, and Li Qiuchi sat at the stone table under the tree, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the wind was slow. The white jade cream square cake on the table is paired with green tea, giving people a refreshing feeling. She leaned comfortably against the stone table as she picked up the pastry and savored it.
It happened that Chu Jinrong also went down to the court, and after seeing this peaceful and quiet scene, he couldn't help but be attracted, standing in place and not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Qiuchi had already noticed his existence, lowered his head and poured a cup of tea with a smile, and his voice was clear, "Since you're here, why don't you sit down?" ”
Chu Jinrong came back to his senses at this time, he took advantage of the situation to find a place near her and sat down, took a sip of the tea she poured, and teased with a smile: "You are very idle today, pastries with green tea are really good." ”
Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows proudly, deliberately stimulating him: "It's necessary for me to be idle, after all, I'm a woman, and I don't need to do anything." You just need to embroider the female red at home, drink some tea, and go shopping. ”
The side was quiet, and for a while, the sound of grinding teeth kept ringing.
Li Qiuchi suddenly laughed happily, this smile was like the warm sun and white porridge in winter, and it was also like the breeze and bright moon in the scorching sun. Chu Jinrong was stunned for a moment, and his mood became happy, and the estrangement of the past few days seemed to collapse at this moment. He began to smile as well.
Seeing that Chu Jinrong's mood suddenly relaxed, she felt very strange again.
"Anyway," Li Qiuchi raised his eyebrows, looking at him for a long time, "What happened to you a few days ago?" Always frowning, the mood is also very gloomy, the eldest aunt is here? ”
Chu Jinrong said suspiciously: "There are only two princes in my father's generation, and there are no princesses, where is the eldest aunt?" ”
Li Qiuchi snorted out laughing, seeing Chu Jinrong's confused expression, she had a teasing thought in her heart, slowly leaned over, and whispered in her ear for a moment.
After understanding the eldest aunt in Li Qiuchi's mouth, Chu Jinrong's face was almost constipated, and he glared at Li Qiuchi fiercely, in exchange for a more cheerful laugh. Li Qiuchi saw Chu Jinrong's black face, covering his stomach, and couldn't stop laughing.
The entire courtyard resounded with Li Qiuchi's silver bell-like laughter, and Chu Jinrong was also infected by her, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
"Autumn Pond." Suddenly, a warm voice sounded at the door of the courtyard, Li Qiuchi's laughter stopped abruptly, she looked at the comer, and suddenly her eyes became surprised, "Dom? Thinking that she was not polite to sit, she quickly stood up and went to the courtyard door to greet her, and greeted with concern, "Why are you here?" Aren't your envoys going back today? ”
Seeing that Li Qiuchi was so attentive to Dom, Chu Jinrong's originally happy mood also sank, his face was ugly, and his heart was also rolling with vinegar.
"I'm here for you." Dom smiled, looking at Li Qiuchi's eyes containing too many emotions, like gentle spring water, making people want to sink deeply. Li Qiuchi frowned when he saw it, and subconsciously took a step back.
"Looking for me? Can I help you? ”
Dom was excited in his heart, and he didn't notice Li Qiuchi's subconscious movements, his royal blue eyes moved slightly, hiding a faint sadness, "I heard that your marriage is not what you want, so I came this time to take you away." ”
Li Qiuchi chuckled in his heart when he listened, should he ......
Chu Jinrong sat at the stone table, pouring tea alone, and the hand holding the teacup tightened.
Dom pursed his lips, his face was also tense, his expression was solemn, and his voice deliberately slowed down, "Are you happy as the crown princess in Chaoyang City?" If you're not happy, I can take you away, our Mu Yingying side is very free, unlike the Central Plains with cumbersome rules. ”
The air was silent, except for the rustle of the leaves in the wind. Dom stared at Li Qiuchi's expression tightly, and his hands clenched unconsciously.
When Chu Jinrong heard his words, the knuckles of the fingers holding the teacup had already turned white, and his heart also breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what he was afraid of.
"Thank you for your kindness." Li Qiuchi smiled gently, "But I think that since I grew up here, I am more accustomed to the Central Plains." Besides, I'm doing well and being happy here. ”
Chu Jinrong's hand holding the teacup suddenly let go, and he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and his face was filled with a growing smile.
Hearing her refusal, Dom's heart fell to the bottom, and sadness appeared in his royal blue eyes, "Is it unwilling, or can't?" ”
"Don't bother the British envoys," Chu Jinrong's hearty voice sounded behind him, "The crown princess is the wife of this palace, and this palace will take good care of her." ”
By the time Li Qiuchi reacted, Chu Jinrong was already standing beside her. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, but her heart throbbed inexplicably.
Dom looked at the two people standing in front of him, talented and beautiful, like a match made in heaven. He narrowed his eyes, his long eyelashes covered the fine light, and the shadow of the swaying tree looked especially sad when it fell on his handsome face.
"You didn't do it voluntarily." He pursed his lips, his tone resolute.
Li Qiuchi held her forehead with a headache, and after feeling the cool gaze next to her, she reasoned with Dom: "Dom, you like me and want to take me away, I am very happy, and I am very grateful to you in my heart." But you have to know that I have nothing but gratitude to you. I have no other affection for you than to treat you as a friend. ”
Seeing Dom's royal blue eyes became even more sad, she was also helpless, but she didn't like it, she didn't like it, and there was no reason to hang on to others. Li Qiuchi was ruthless and continued to speak solemnly.
