Chapter Twenty-Three: The Gentleman on the Beam
And as a prince, he didn't go to live a pampered life, but went to the border to earn merit in the most dangerous and stupid way, and this kind of courage is not something that ordinary people can have.
Therefore, Cheng Qing has always admired Zhao Wuyuan very much.
But now the person she admires the most is actually about to become her opponent, even if it is short-lived, her heart is not comfortable.
This man is one of her best friends.
Thinking that he was going to design him, Cheng Qing really wanted to rush up and make it clear with him at this moment.
But she can't!
"It's good that my sister believes in me, and the Fourth Emperor Brother protects me like this, and I also feel weird, as if I am always being watched by him." Zhao Ningbai was very unhappy, since she was a child, this royal brother liked to control her, and within his line of sight, she just felt uncomfortable.
"He's also worried about your safety." Cheng Qingdao.
"I know that the Four Emperor Brothers spoil me the most, just like Brother Cheng spoils his sister, but the difference is that Brother Cheng is obedient to his sister, and the Four Emperor Brothers always treat me as a child who doesn't grow up." Zhao Ningbai pouted and said unhappily.
Cheng Qing wants to laugh, she has been fighting wits and courage with her brother since she was a child, her brother is weak, whether it is fighting Wen or fighting martial arts, he is not her opponent, and it is strange that he can manage her all year round.
But then again, Zhao Wuyuan was staying outside, and he had to think of a way.
……
It's night again, and Zhao Ningbai, who has been playing here in Cheng Qing for a day, has already fallen asleep.
Cheng Qing left the room.
Zhao Wuyuan, who was guarding outside, saw her come out, was a little curious, and followed.
Of course, he didn't come to protect Zhao Ningbai, there were so many Imperial Forest Guards in Taishi Mansion, it was impossible for those killers to come in again, and the reason why he did this was just to use an excuse to stay in Taishi Mansion.
The reason for him to stay was Cheng Qing.
There have been too many things that have happened to her recently, revealing a thick eccentricity, which makes him curious about her.
And Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue look too similar, Cheng Yue is whiter and more delicate, which is Cheng Qing's appearance.
The slender shadow walked straight ahead, not stopping for a moment, not knowing where she was going.
Cheng Qing walked to Cheng Yue's door and knocked on his door.
The people in the back room did not sleep, and after a while the door was opened.
Cheng Yue saw that it was her, a little strange, and asked, "Sister, why did you come to me when you didn't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”
Cheng Qing whispered: "There is someone behind me." ”
Hearing this, Cheng Yue reflexively wanted to raise his head, but was pulled by Cheng Qing.
"Don't look." Cheng Qing reminded in a low voice.
Cheng Yue reacted quickly, and immediately smiled: "You can't sleep, and you come to play chess with your brother again, right?" Not today, my brother hasn't gone to buy a chessboard yet. ”
Cheng Qing frowned slightly and said, "Brother, I'm not here to play chess with you." I really can't sleep, I can't figure out a lot of things. ”
"Oh? What else could be something that even a smart sister like mine couldn't figure out? Cheng Yue teased.
"It's the matter of An and the princess accepting us as righteous sons and daughters, and they only see us once and recognize us as children, isn't it too hasty?" Cheng Qing's eyes turned, Zhao Wuyuan was hiding in the dark now, and he didn't know where he was, so he couldn't see her expression.
Ann and Wang? Righteous son and righteous daughter? Cheng Yue thought about it for a while, and then came up with it, she came for Zhao Ningbai.
There are only a few things that can make Cheng Qing annoyed, since Wang Anhe was mentioned, and he said that he had children, except for Zhao Ningbai, who came to the Taishi Mansion today and said that he wanted to live for a while, there would be no one else.
"Qing'er, I see you're just thinking too much, come in and say, it's cold standing outside." Cheng Yue let her in.
Cheng Qing nodded and followed him into the house.
On the short way in, the two exchanged very quietly and quickly.
Cheng Qing: "Ning'er's small residence is an opportunity, and you need to avoid Zhao Wuyuan. ”
Cheng Yue: "Method? ”
Cheng Qing: "Human skin mask." ”
Cheng Yue: "I'll do it tomorrow." ”
Zhao Wuyuan watched the two of them go in, but he didn't close the door, thought about it, and quietly flashed under the window to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Cheng Yue and Cheng Qing's subsequent conversations were all about the righteous son and daughter, which was boring and boring, and at most they said something emotional.
Not long after, Cheng Qing came out again.
As if I had figured it out, I went back.
Although Zhao Wuyuan didn't mind being a gentleman in private, this was the first time that he returned in vain.
Could it be that he was wrong?
There's nothing wrong with Cheng Qing, it's all just a coincidence?
But is it possible?
Those killers, why didn't they kill Cheng Taishi Cheng Gongzi, but they just wanted to kill Cheng Qing? There's a mystery here.
The assassins they caught last time didn't know anything, and they asked for a long time, but they didn't ask why.
The problem here is getting bigger and bigger, shouldn't he go and find Xiuyuan?
Zhao Wuyuan thought for a moment and left.
The next day, Cheng Qing was still playing with Zhao Ningbai in the house, and Bai Xiuyuan came to look for her, but she didn't see her.
It wasn't until the afternoon that another decree came, and she had to go out.
This holy decree was still brought by Gonggong Jiang.
The battle was great, and many things of reward filled the courtyard.
The Cheng family knelt on the ground, listened to Gonggong Jiang pinching the throat of the male duck, and read a long list of words praising Cheng Taishi Cheng Yue Cheng Qing, and finally mentioned that An He Wang accepted Cheng Yue Cheng Qing as a righteous son and daughter, not only agreed, but also the title and seal came down.
Cheng Qing was named the lord of Qinghe, and Cheng Yue was named the king of Yujun.
This is the unique honor of the prince's children, I didn't expect that I still have the title, Cheng Qing and Cheng Yue were a little surprised.
But fortunately, neither of them got married, so they didn't need to move out of the Taishi Mansion.
When they get married in the future, they will have their own mansion.
The family of three thanked them and stood up.
Gonggong Jiang recited all the things rewarded by the emperor again, Cheng Yue read it at the beginning, and Cheng Qing read it later.
Hearing that there was obviously a large list of rewards in the back than in the front, the minds of those present became subtle.
Even Cheng Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a faint feeling in his heart that was not very good.
However, no matter what the emperor means, she is still in the filial piety period, even if he is the emperor Laozi, he has to put this mind to rest.
After receiving the holy decree and accepting the reward, the next thing is to go to the palace to thank you.
Before this, Cheng Qing had to go out of the mansion, and together with Cheng Yue, he went to Anhe Wangfu to kneel and bow to his father.
Mother?
Thinking of this word, Cheng Qing's eyes moved slightly.
Back in the house, Cheng Qing burned incense and bathed, and with the help of the maid, she dressed herself again, put on a dress, combed a dignified girl's bun, and inserted a few unique hairpins between the temples, which was not only simple, but also lined her beautiful appearance and looked a little better.
