Chapter 40: The Camellia is Still There

At sunset, a sharp arrow shot from the horse's back, hitting the bull's-eye. It was already early, and Luo Qingying, who was drenched in sweat, reluctantly got off the horse when she heard her husband's call.

The old slave behind him kept chattering behind him, and Luo Qingying's ears were almost calloused when he heard it.

"Your Highness, don't listen to it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is sincere, or you should go and sit for a while tonight." The old man bent over, his waist has not been straight since he entered the palace, and now that he is old, he can't straighten up if he wants to.

Luo Qingying's brows furrowed as soon as she heard the name of His Royal Highness the Prince, this bastard is a thief, and he still wants to be the emperor in this brain, not to mention that the emperor is now tough, maybe who can boil someone to death.

She pinched her eyebrows annoyedly: "What can he do with this straw bag, who is here today, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, that is the son of the General's Mansion, Su Jingchi. I have come today to ask for marriage. ”

"Marriage? Why does the old emperor have to take care of the general's family? ”

"That's not it, he wants to give the young lady of Shangli Mansion a national sensational wedding, but the etiquette law stipulates that it cannot exceed the royal family, and he entered the palace for the first time today in order to ask the emperor to agree."

Luo Qingying stopped, a smile on her face.

"The emperor won't agree easily, so, what is his request?"

"The emperor told him to go to the west to suppress the disobedient small tribes."

Hearing what her husband said, Luo Qingying looked up to the sky and laughed, as if she had heard some ridiculous joke in the world.

"Hahahaha, it's worthy of him, hahaha, I really don't leave myself a little way to live." The General's Mansion and the Shangli Mansion have never stood in line, you must know that they don't stand in line because they have strong enough strength, but this old emperor dares to call Su Jingchi to death in a hurry. The Su family and the Xi family have a marriage contract, and the two families join forces, and it is not necessarily who dies.

"Are there small tribes around that don't obey... Oh, ridiculous. "If you don't listen to him, the small tribal countries are all existences that need to be eradicated.

She will not forgive her "nominal" father, when the old emperor came to her mother's clan, he took a fancy to his mother at a glance, and robbed her mother like a robber, and her grandfather's obstruction was only in exchange for the result of extermination. In the end, after her mother gave birth to her, the dog emperor no longer came to visit her, and as soon as the novelty passed, her mother became the object of play for the harem concubines.

Her mother committed suicide, and in front of her, Bai Aya bypassed the beam, and a wisp of incense scattered in the world, leaving only the unbroken cry behind her.

Recalling that once, tears swirled in her eyes, but she couldn't cry, no one would help her wipe her tears when she cried, and tears would only become a burden if the wind was too cold.

Holding the bow and arrow in her hand tightly, the hatred in her eyes seemed to overflow, she couldn't help but kill the dog emperor right now, he was alive, it was really disgusting.

"Okay, then let's go to the Prince's Mansion and have a look."

Because Father Su and Su Jingchi came back too late, there was no lunch. Mrs. Su made meatballs for them in the kitchen with great interest, and the cooks on the side saw that it was Mrs. who entered the kitchen and fled one after another, for fear that one of them would be caught and "tested for poison" if they fell behind.

The general's wife stomped her feet angrily: "Is it so unpalatable that I made?" The generals all said it was delicious! ”

The subordinates were all silent, was the general sincere, how dare he say that it was not delicious.

Mrs. is a delicate golden branch and jade leaf, and her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, but she skillfully turns over pots and pans to make meatballs. When they got married, the general lifted his hijab, but he knew that his wife's stomach was screaming, and he should have asked his subordinates to make it, but his wife had to take the general to the kitchen on his wedding night to do it together.

The General's Mansion, a person who practices martial arts, has a lot of meat in the kitchen, and Mrs. Yishou decided to make meatballs. Later, this meatball became a nightmare for the general's mansion.

In a few moments, two bowls of hot meatballs were ready.

Father and son, you look at me, I look at you, no one will move the chopsticks first.

"Smack!!" Madame was annoyed, and her long, white and slender hand slapped the table heavily.

"What, do you think I don't make it delicious?"

"No, no, my mother's cooking is the best, but I still have to eat with Xi Yun, so I will save my stomach first." After that, he thoughtfully pushed the porcelain bowl in front of his father, completely ignoring General Su's impulse to shoot him to death. "Mother's mother finally next time in the kitchen, daddy don't waste it, the child will go to Shangli Mansion first." Before leaving, he didn't forget to pat General Su on the shoulder, like a farewell between comrades-in-arms.

On the wall of Shangli Mansion sat a girl dressed in red, and the camellia on her head was also red, and she could notice it at a glance even though it was night.

Su Jingchi couldn't help but feel the wind under his feet when he saw the lively and lovely camellia, just like when he was a child, Su Jingchi caught Xi Yun below.

"Where have you been today? I heard from my wife that you entered the palace with the general, did you go to discuss some war? ”

Su Jingchi remembered that he had forgotten to say hello to his mother in advance in the morning, and he would not lie to Xi Yun, so he had to change the topic.

"I didn't discuss the war, I heard that a restaurant next to the long street has a great menu, let's go together." Without waiting for Xi Yun to say anything and take her hand, the two rode together to the long street.

Xi Yun knew Su Jingchi, he only changed the topic halfway through his words, there must be something to hide from him.

The black horse ran by, and the sedan chair carried over. Princess Qingyi lifted the curtain, and a familiar figure appeared in front of her.

"What a pair of loving mandarin ducks." Since the old emperor has already offended the Su family, then he will directly offend the Xi family.

The restaurant is brightly lit and full of guests, which is a signboard of the long street. Su Jingchi went in by himself, Xi Yun lowered his head, thinking in his heart.

I haven't heard of any wars around me these days, only some small tribes in the west have not been honest, and the emperor has always wanted to get rid of them. But the terrain in the west is treacherous and a natural barrier, and General Su will not ask Su Jingchi to send him to death when he goes to the battlefield for the first time.

The delicacies on the table are filled with an attractive fragrance, a pot of osmanthus wine, and two plates of delicate pastries to relieve greasyness. He knew that Xi Yun didn't like to eat sweet, that was what the ladies in the boudoir liked to eat, she didn't like delicate things, whether it was people or things.

But Xi Yun stopped throwing the cup, and Su Jingchi saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, so she had to step forward and greet: "Xi Yun, Xi Yun, Xi Yun!" ”

"Ah, what's the matter?"

"What are you thinking?"

Since Su Jingchi is already planning to hide it from himself, it means that he doesn't want to let himself know, and what he can ask again can only be another lie of Su Jingchi.

"It's okay, this osmanthus wine is so fragrant." Xi Yun drank all the osmanthus wine on the table to cover up his thoughts just now.

If you want to know the answer, you can only find it yourself, without Su Jingchi knowing.

Outside the door, Luo Qingying came out of the carriage, wearing an emerald green veil on her face.

The prince was a little displeased when he saw this: "Why do you still have to wear a veil when you see this palace, do you think it is a shame for you?" ”

Luo Qingying just glanced at him, dressed in jewels, with guards by his side, he was really afraid that he would not attract the attention of others. Luo Qingying had no choice but to tell the old slave to get her a hooded cloak.

Seeing that Luo Qingying not only did not take off the veil but asked for a cloak, the prince felt that his majesty had been provoked by this woman.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said with a smile, how could I think that you have lost my face, but the prince doesn't think it's good to climb lightly. It's just that the two of us shouldn't get too close, otherwise there will be some gossip. Qingying is just a female streamer, and even if she has nowhere to go, she can't turn her head over much. On the contrary, it is the prince, and the future is bright, so don't be burdened by me. ”

The prince's hand that wanted to remove the veil on Qingying's face stopped in mid-air and did not move, and he looked at the guards beside him and waved his hand, and the guards disappeared in an instant like ghosts.

Luo Qingying chuckled, if he was a man, where would he still have this straw bag.

On the top floor, the red clothes were fluttering, and Jiayue looked at the woman in the white cloak on the ground with admiring eyes.

"What delicious flesh and blood, hatred, ambition."

"I think the old eunuch next to you should tell you." As soon as he sat down, the prince said straight to the point.

Luo Qingying, who was taking off her veil, heard the word "old eunuch", and her eyes narrowed unconsciously. Mother left the tribe, and there was only this one guard by her side, but the dog emperor actually suspected his mother of fornication, and the life of following his mother since he was a child and protecting his mother was made a eunuch by the old emperor!

Later, his mother died, but he was still by his side and never left him like a family. She can't hear anyone insult him, he can insult her a thousand times, but he can't!

"Do you want to kill him~~?"

Who?!

An extremely strange girl came, to be precise, it should have appeared in her own mind.

Luo Qingying looked around in horror, no one?

"What's wrong with you, why do you look like you see the hell?"

Luo Qingying looked at the prince suspiciously, his face puzzled. It seems that only I heard the voice, is it an auditory hallucination?

"Ahh What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, my father-in-law has already said. The old emperor has worked hard all his life, and he really deserves a good rest, and the crown prince, as the only heir, should shoulder the responsibility. ”

Luo Qingying's words made the corners of the prince's mouth rise uncontrollably.

"When are Hotaru going to do it?"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and we'll do it when Su Jingchi and Xi Yun get married." Picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, the bitterness swept through his mouth, and sure enough, he still likes to eat sweet.

"What? Do you want to wait for Su Jingchi and Xi Yun to get married? You are crazy? Su Jingchi was sent to the west, and it was unknown whether he would be able to come back alive at that time. ”

"Wouldn't that be better?"

"Huh?" Luo Qingying's words caused him to think, and he slowly sat down and began to think seriously.

After thinking for a while, the prince looked at the woman in front of him who was sipping tea with some suspicion: "You mean, sowing discord?" ”

"Yes. The Su family has a high prestige in the army, although those soldiers only look at the tiger talisman, but the prince thinks about how many of the people in this army who hold the tiger talisman are his robes and how many are his former soldiers. To say the least, there has to be a small half. The Xi family has big roots and deep roots, and being neutral shows that the old things of the Xi family are not easy to deal with. ”

"This trick is so good, borrow a knife to kill people, do you want me to help you secretly kill the person you want to kill?"

The mysterious voice appeared again, Luo Qingying turned her head quickly, empty, and there was nothing except the ornaments of the vases and antiques around her.

The prince frowned displeasedly: "What's wrong with you tonight, why are you always startled?" ”

"I'm sorry, Qingying is not feeling well today, can you ask the prince to allow Qingying to leave?"

The prince looked at her irritably and waved his hand indiscriminately: "Get out, hurry up, it's ruined the interest of the palace today." ”

Luo Qingying, who got permission, immediately packed up and left here, and didn't forget to look back at the room before going out.

THIS ... Not clean?

Luo Qingying didn't dare to think about it anymore, and when she saw her husband walking towards her from a distance through the crowd, she felt a little more steady.

"What, are you looking for me?"

Her heart was beating, goosebumps were on her body, and she even felt as if the back of her neck was gently caressed by a hand with long nails: "Who?!! ”

Her scalp was numb and trembling, she was going crazy, and her legs seemed to be filled with lead water.

"I am the one who can fulfill your wishes, and I can help you achieve any wish."

Her voice was demagogic and fatally seductive. Her reason gripped her, she couldn't agree, she couldn't agree.

"I'll also tell you, what happened before your mother was pregnant with you, that's something you don't know, why do you think the emperor would ignore your mother? Why do you think your mother died? ”

Smack~~ Her sanity is broken.
