Chapter 57: King Cong
Shen Tingnian went to the backyard happily these two days, and got along very well with Wei Chuyun, Pu Yangxu naturally guessed that she had a plan, in order to find out what she couldn't look back on.
But he couldn't do anything if he was unhappy, he couldn't talk about this matter, and he still wanted to stop it, didn't he tell Shen Tingnian that he hadn't let go of this matter yet, and he still coveted his aunt?
He couldn't afford to lose him.
At the bend of the corridor, Shen Tingnian and Wei Chuyun came to meet them.
Right now, seeing the two of them coming hand in hand, Pu Yangxu felt a little tightness in his chest.
And his unhappy expression fell in Shen Tingnian's eyes, and there was also a very appropriate explanation, this girl who couldn't love became his aunt, which was really pitiful.
Shen Tingnian looked at him inexplicably with pity.
Pu Yangxu didn't know it yet, he only felt that he was really blind, Shen Tingnian and Wei Chuyun were put together, just like roses and jasmine, there was a difference between heaven and earth.
Wei Chuyun wore a skirt of the same color in a white cloak, with fringed sideburns, plain makeup, and a natural beauty.
Shen Tingnian knows Wei Chuyun's preferences, she is so white and doesn't like bright colors, so if she is too casual and too plain, wouldn't she fight in the ring with others? Therefore, sometimes it is not the choice of smart people to adapt to the occasion and blindly go against the grain.
She specially picked out a Xiangfei color long skirt, the bottom embroidery is peach blossoms, and the delicate makeup is on, the sideburns are high, the hosta is inserted, the ears are equipped with a small pearl and jade pendant, and the forehead bridle with a jade pendant is embedded in the upper point of the two eyebrows, the pendant is drop-shaped, crystal clear, Shen Tingnian is very fond of it, everyone has a love for beauty, and she is no exception.
Pu Yangxu has been accustomed to seeing her without makeup and light color in the past few months, sometimes she even wears a shawl on the carriage, which is very casual, and suddenly she is dressed up with such bright makeup, and the visual impact is great.
In particular, Shen Tingnian's eyes are raised, and the water is more peachy than his body.
Why did he think that Shen Tingnian had the same eyes as Wei Chuyun?
Looking at each other, Shen Tingnian caught the other party's momentary stagnation, broke the situation with a smile, and blessed his body: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Wei Chuyun tightened the arm in his hand and slowed down, "I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Pu Yangxu's eyes fell on the junction of the two holding hands, frowned, and passed by without saying a word.
Wei Chuyun had never seen the prince get along with Shen Tingnian, so she didn't feel that the atmosphere was anything strange, she was just surprised by Pu Yangxu's eyes when she looked at Shen Tingnian just now, it was a man looking at a woman, with an undisguised invasiveness...... It's scary.
In just a few steps, everyone thinks and thinks and doesn't know how many times they have flipped back and forth.
The three of them entered Changchun Hall as if nothing had happened.
And King Cong was late, and as soon as he entered the door, he strode to Wei Chuyun, and said coldly: "I looked for you for a while, and I didn't send someone to pass on a word." ”
Wei Chuyun knew that it was bad when he entered the door and saw that he was not in Changchun Hall, knowing that he must have gone back to the backyard to find himself first, and hurriedly explained: "It's not my fault, you didn't tell me when you came back, I was playing with Shen Tingnian at the time, and when I knew the news, I came here immediately." ”
The tail note was elongated and turned a corner, and Shen Tingnian, who was listening, shuddered, and she quickly glanced at Pu Yangxu sitting opposite.
Even she didn't realize why she subconsciously paid attention to the prince's feelings, but the result was also unexpected, Pu Yangxu hooked a sneer, and turned her eyes away without looking more.
The cold-faced prince couldn't resist Wei Chuyun's soft words and surrendered, the two of them talked a lot to themselves, and a dinner for the guests began, the male host only had the hostess in his eyes, and the guests were silent, and only added a few dishes to each other.
Pu Yangxu first sandwiched a dish of spicy diced meat for Shen Tingnian.
Shen Tingnian returned a chopsticks with garlic shrimp.
Lishang went back and forth until they lost their appetite for each other, and when they raised their eyes, they found that King Cong and Wei Chuyun had stopped talking at some point, and looked at the two of them together.
"Come on, remove all these dishes, serve a few dishes again, and use the method from the south."
King Cong gave an order, and the table full of dishes was removed in an instant.
Wei Chuyun didn't need meals for dinner, and drank a bowl of bird's nest early, so he was so slow that King Cong opened his mouth to withdraw the dishes, and he felt guilty, "I didn't entertain ...... well."
"It's none of your business." King Cong cut off her words, and then said to Puyangxu, "The north is bitterly cold, and vegetables are poor. ”
It's short, but it covers an infinite number of voices.
Pu Yangxu and Shen Tingnian thought of King Cong's dealings with the Ye family in unison.
There are some things that don't need to be said, you will know when you point to it, King Cong is the king of the northern fiefdom, the emperor is far away, if he really has different intentions, expands his power, collects wealth and raises soldiers, he will not leave Pu Yangxu in the mansion and let him track it down, on the contrary, if he has no dissent, dredge the trade road, and open up the fertile land, in order to benefit the people.
Shen Tingnian really took a look at King Cong in this silence.
At a glance, she remembered what this person looked like, compared to the vague memory of his childhood, King Cong at this age is more slender, with a slender figure, a brocade robe embroidered with gold lines on a black background, loose on the outside and tight on the inside, a jade crown and hair, extraordinarily majestic, sideburns like a knife, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, compared to Pu Yangxu's handsome and exquisite, he is more rugged and heroic...... Sensing King Cong's keen gaze, Shen Tingnian lowered his eyes and returned to his thoughts.
She still remembered the man's name, Puyang cypress, the cypress of the pine cypress.
In order to avoid suspicion, under Pu Yangxu's nose, she never dared to show her curiosity about King Cong.
What made him make the decision to replace Shen Yanhe in the palace to be elected...... What exactly does he think of himself?
This question is very important to Shen Tingnian, which will affect whether she has any room to survive after returning to Beijing.
In the past few days, she has found out very clearly about Pu Yangxu and Wei Chuyun, and she also realized that Pu Yangxu has no murderous intentions towards King Cong in the very short contact just now.
This is actually very unconscionable. A border prince with military achievements, or the only remaining royal brother of the current emperor, Wen Taowu is strategic, has an excellent reputation, and took away his beloved girl...... If such a person is not killed, he will wait for him to usurp the throne?
Shen Tingnian couldn't figure it out.
Because of this incomprehension, Shen Tingnian had a great interest in Pu Yangxu beyond the skin.
In a moment, new dishes were spread all over the table, and this time there were several jars of wine.
"Poorer, but with good wine."
Pu Yangxu personally opened a jar of wine, and after the lid was uncovered, the mellow liquor was poured into the cup, and in an instant, the room was filled with the aroma of wine.
King Cong glanced at the cup in his hand and slightly hooked the corners of his lips, "This wine in the north is not drunk like this. ”
"I know you're drinking well, so I'll get drunk tonight." Pu Yangxu was instantly provoked to provoke.
Shen Tingnian supports his forehead, where does he get his confidence? Even she can't beat the sheer volume.
King Cong's drinking is no less than that of a cow drinking water, not to mention that the amount is like the sea, just to talk about the purity of the wine, which is also used to drinking the spirits in the army.
"It's boring to just drink, so it's better to fill in some colorful heads." Shen Tingnian came over to take away the white jade cup for Pu Yangxu, and directly changed the big bowl and pushed it over, "Your Highness will drink a bowl, and the concubine will press a tael of silver." ”
Pu Yangxu grabbed her hand, "Do you think I can't win?" ”
Shen Tingnian lowered his eyes, the jade bridle moved slightly, shining, his eyebrows were even brighter, and he said with a smile: "If Your Highness loses, the concubine will return all the income of these two days to Princess Cong." ”
Wei Chuyun, who just wanted to watch the excitement, immediately let out a cheer: "Great, big brother, you start drinking quickly, drink him down, and all the money I lost will come back!" ”
King Cong stretched out his hand and pressed the jumping Wei Chuyun back to his seat, lowered his voice and asked, "How much have you lost?" Well? ”
Wei Chuyun's smile stiffened, and he explained dryly: "No...... Not much, it was Shen Tingnian who bullied me, she said to play pitcher...... Woo, she couldn't throw two or three arrows with ten arrows before, but now she ......"
Crying is fake crying, and complaining is true complaining.
"She's a big liar, she said that she can't win me with her eyes open, and she wants to be blindfolded with me, and see who hits, and I will lose miserably." Wei Chuyun was so angry when he remembered that he was tricked by Shen Tingnian and won all the private money prepared by the other party.
King Cong rubbed her head soothingly, and then turned his head to look at Shen Tingnian, his eyes were cold.
Before Shen Tingnian could react, Pu Yangxu moved first, he pulled Shen Tingnian behind him to protect him, and simply raised his head and poured a bowl of wine, "Uncle Huang, the matter between men will be solved in a man's way." ”
Looking at Pu Yangxu, who was starting to flush at the base of his neck after a bowl of wine, Shen Tingnian was helpless, but he wanted to laugh again.
At that time, she felt that the man who was blindly confident in his drinking was a bit stupid, and the way he protected her was even more stupid...... Stupid, she wanted to laugh all night.
###
On the seventh day of the fifth month, it is the prince's birthday.
"Shen Tingnian! What the hell are you laughing at? ”
Pu Yangxu asked this sentence for the third time, the first time was when he woke up drunk early yesterday morning, when Shen Tingnian waited for him to change his clothes with a smile, and the second time was when he had dinner last night, while eating, he suddenly let out a strange laugh, which scared him so much that he almost threw him over with chopsticks.
It was also early this morning, so I painted my eyebrows and smiled on the dressing table.
"You still don't say it, do you?" Pu Yangxu threw off his sleeves and rushed towards her with a majestic attitude, and the maids who were waiting for the dressing all turned around quickly, and the branches and buds who were putting on makeup for Shen Tingnian had already practiced flashing kung fu.
"What are you doing...... Oops, I was wrong...... Not! ”
Shen Tingnian's cry of pain was covered by Pu Yangxu with one hand, and his other hand was mercilessly patting Shen Tingnian's buttocks.
Is there anything worse than getting up early to celebrate his birthday and being beaten up? Shen Tingnian simply had a hard time.
The prince of a dignified country has repeatedly punished his own woman by means of spanking, even if someone dares to say it, I am afraid that the world will not dare to believe it.
What's more, no one dares to say it anymore.
The prince himself changed the frustration of drunkenness a few days ago, and refreshed Chen Luo to prepare the carriage and horses, and he wanted to take Shen Tingnian out of the house.
The weather is sunny and windy.
After the carriage traveled for half an hour, it was strolled from inside the city to a famous spot outside the city, the Blue Treasure Lake.
Lake Sapphire is famous for digging up sapphire in the lake.
There are tourists who come to see this place all year round, and when there are more people, it is lively, even if you are tired of seeing the landscape, this popularity is still undiminished.
When Pu Yangxu came out with Shen Tingnian, he was holding an umbrella to shade the sun, but Shen Tingnian was still angry that he was beaten, and refused to go with him, so he took the lead and walked by himself.
