Chapter 13: Gentle Friends

It's just that now she is still useful to the queen, so the queen keeps her, but if one day, she loses her use value, the queen can lock her up like Zhang San and Li Si at any time if anyone needs her, or even kill her.

And for Li Yun, it's the same. Now in Li Yun's eyes, she is just a toy to fiddle with, no threat, but if Li Yun knows that she is holding a bottle of poison given by the queen, whether she will attack Ferrari or not, she is a thorn in Li Yun's eyes that must be pulled out.

Yu Fang stole a pot of good wine from the kitchen and planned to celebrate with Zhao Jiu, but at this moment, Zhao Jiu didn't show any joy when he heard the news, so he wondered again: "Zhao Jiu, don't you hate Zhang San and Li Si?" They targeted you so much, and now that they're locked up, you don't have to sympathize with them, do you? ”

"I didn't sympathize with them, I just felt sorry for myself, and I felt like I was the same person as them."

"Huh?" Yu Fang touched his head, "How can you be the same as them, they are so bad." ”

Zhao Jiu smiled bitterly: "You won't understand." ”

Then she took the wine from Yu Fang's hand and went out alone.

Yu Fang shouted to her behind her back: "Zhao Jiu, is there no love in this world?" You've robbed me of my good wine, where are you going to steal it! ”

Usually Zhao Jiu often says to Yu Fang, "Is there no love in this world", and over time, Yu Fang also learned, occasionally when she said this to Zhao Jiu, she could laugh for a long time, but today Zhao Jiu not only did not smile, but did not even look back.

Yu Fang suddenly thought of the fact that the person who overheard the queen outside the main hall today saying to the overseer that he would add Zhao Jiu's name to the roster of spring hunting, and the fact that Zhao Jiu pretended to be sick and did not go to spring hunting was exposed, she should be worried about this matter at the moment......

Because Zhao Jiu often had to enter the palace to serve in the Cloud Shadow Palace, Guo Qi gave her a sign to enter and leave the inner palace. At this time, Zhao Jiu entered the palace with the good wine he had snatched from Yu Fang, and went in the direction of Chonghua Palace.

Chonghua Palace was indeed in a very remote place, Zhao Jiu felt that it took a long time to find it, and the door of the palace was closed, and she stood at the door and knocked for a long time without seeing anyone inside answering her.

It can't be that it's not there, right?

Zhao Jiu was upset, she wanted to find someone to talk about the bitterness in her heart, Yu Fang didn't understand, so she wanted to come to Yuan Xi, but now Yuan Xi was not there, she didn't know where to go for a while.

Zhao Jiu sat down in front of the door of Chonghua Palace, looking at the lonely waning moon in the night sky in a daze. Scenes from the real world flashed in her mind, and she felt that she was too salty at that time, so God wanted to spur her on, let her enter the world of novels, and worry about different things every day.

Zhao Jiu sniffed, and suddenly felt like crying.

"Zhao Jiu?"

At some point, a man in a snow-white shirt with wide sleeves stood in the wind under the moon, his picturesque eyebrows filled with tenderness like the moonlight.

"Yuan Xi ......"

Zhao Jiu raised his misty eyes and saw Yuan Xi walking towards her quickly, and then used his body to block the cold wind blowing faintly for her.

"It's windy at night, and it's easy for you to get cold when you sit here, so let's go in and talk about it."

Zhao Jiu nodded, got up and followed Yuan Xi into the door. The two of them entered a room one after the other, Yuan Xi lit the lamp on the table, invited her to take a seat, and then turned around and went to pour water for her, his wide sleeves passed over the table, bringing out a trace of refreshing sandalwood.

"I didn't make tea today, so I'll just drink water."

Zhao Jiu took the teacup and said "thank you", took a sip and said, "It's delicious." ”

"Nonsense," Yuan Xi laughed at him, "What can white water taste?" ”

Zhao Jiu also smiled, revealing two shallow dimples: "It's true." ”

She didn't lie, she really thought that the water was sweet and fragrant, and it warmed people's hearts.

When he came in, Zhao Jiu looked around, and the palace looked quite big, but there was no palace person waiting for him. So she asked with some curiosity: "Yuan Xi, is there no one else in your palace?" ”

Yuan Xi's smile faded a little: "Originally, there were several, but I was used to one person, so I dismissed them." ”

Zhao Jiu suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, how many palace people were serving a prince who had fallen out of favor, and she was really disturbed by troubles tonight.

Yuan Xi found the wine jug on the table, and resumed his relaxed smile: "Are you here to ask me for a drink?" ”

Zhao Jiu remembered it again, so he also laughed: "Yes, I said that I will share it with you if I have good wine." Today you can drink as much as you want, and we don't have to worry about falling into the pond if we get drunk. ”

Yuan Xi laughed loudly: "Zhao Jiu, you are laughing at me." ”

"Why, in fact, we often have people like you." Zhao Jiu recalled the social news he had seen before, "A man jumped into the river drunk and drowned because he had just broken up with his girlfriend; A woman jumped into the river drunk because she bought too many bags and couldn't pay off her credit card......"

Yuan Xi heard it in a fog: "Zhaojiu, does girlfriend mean sweetheart?" So what is a credit card? And what is a bag? ”

Zhao Jiu couldn't help laughing: "I forgot, this is all the dialect in our village, in short, it means a broken love, a debt, so I have to borrow wine to kill my sorrows, and I have to jump into the river." ”

Yuan Xi expressed his understanding, and then took a sip of wine: "Then I'm different from them." ”

"Huh? Then why did you jump into the pond when you were drunk? ”

"I," he paused, looking a little dazed, "I guess I'm too tired." ”

Zhao Jiu blinked: "So you're going to rest in the water?" ”

Yuan Xi's eyes fell back in a trance, and he looked at her and suddenly smiled: "Zhao Jiu, are the things you think about always so interesting?" ”

Zhao Jiu can probably guess why Yuan Xi borrowed alcohol to kill his sorrows, and what a prince who has fallen out of favor can worry about is probably the matter of his future and fate, but Zhao Jiu doesn't want to say it directly, after all, not everyone can talk about their pain points in front of others.

"Haha, not really. I'm used to making salted fish, so I think about sleeping and eating delicious food. Zhao Jiu said with a smile, perhaps because he suddenly realized that he would never be able to go back to his old salted fish days, so he began to feel sad again, "Hey, I remember that I used to always feel that it was meaningless for people to live in the world, and I would get by every day, and I would often complain. But now I know how difficult it is for people to live, and I really didn't know how to cherish it before. ”

Seeing that Zhao Jiu suddenly became stunned, Yuan Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "You seem to be quite serious, are you in any trouble?" ”

It's not just trouble, it's a catastrophe of life and death!

However, Zhao Jiu was unwilling to add these troubles to Yuan Xi, the prince who had fallen out of favor: "No, no, I just sighed casually, but I just feel that some people in this world are destined to be small, like ants, and there is a gust of wind at will, and my life will come to an end, and I can't even save myself." ”

Yuan Xi was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Although this is the case, everything in the world is not completely the same, the ant you saw that was blown away by the wind may have come to the end of its life, but the other may have come to a new place and survived again." The world is impermanent, not every time you can be prepared to save yourself, maybe let it be, God will not be too difficult for you. ”

Zhao Jiu thought about it sadly, she wanted to go with the flow, but King Ning was like a wolf in front, the queen was like a tiger behind, and there was a prince who had never seen his face clearly in secret, she was surrounded by many dangers, she was not an ant with good luck.

"Perhaps, but not everyone can be favored by God."

Yuan Xi was thoughtful, Zhao Jiu suddenly took the wine glass in his hand, and said apologetically: "Actually, this pot of wine is not a good wine, wait for tomorrow, tomorrow I will steal a pot of good wine, and we will drink it together." ”

After saying this, Zhao Jiu got up to leave, and Yuan Xi suddenly called out to her: "Zhao Jiu, I said that I don't drink ordinary wine." ”

Zhao Jiu looked at the wine jug in his hand, and then looked at his eyes, thinking that the mouth of this disgraced prince was really tricky, this was all tasted by him, it seems that next time he really brought a pot of good wine, so he couldn't fool him.

"But," Yuan Xi smiled slightly, "I think it's okay tonight's wine." ”

Zhao Jiu was stunned, and a warm current suddenly surged into her heart, probably because Yuan Xi was good-looking and gentle, although he didn't say too many words to comfort her, but she felt that just this sentence was enough.

Yuan Xi also regarded her as a friend, and this was really the only thing that made her happy on this bad day.

It was probably a sleepless night, and the next day, Zhao Jiu returned to his lively appearance.

Yu Fang was still a little cautious when he saw her, Zhao Jiu stepped on his shoulders and said boldly: "Yu Fang, what are you always frowning about?" It's all said that if you have a bitter face again, be careful that you will become an old man tomorrow. ”

Yu Fang hurriedly "Bah, bah, bah": "Zhaojiu, don't talk nonsense, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, how can I become an old man!" It's not like I was in a bad mood yesterday that I'm worried about you. ”

"Was I in a bad mood yesterday?" Zhao Jiu touched his two mustaches in contemplation, and after a while, he laughed again, "Yesterday is yesterday, yesterday is like flowing water." You see that today's spring is infinitely good, how can I be in a bad mood? ”

Yu Fang's head was full of black lines: "How are you so fast?" And when did you start learning those literati sour crepes......"

"Harm, life must be happy, there is wine today and drunk tomorrow!"

“……”

Zhao Jiu feels that to get along with a person of the prince's status, she has to improve her qualifications, even if the other party is a disgraced prince, she must have a certain literary literacy, so she must also be a cultural person.

During the day, when Li Yun was not looking for her, she would feed the horses in the stable and recite poems, and at night, she would sneak to Chonghua Palace with the good wine she had stolen from the Cloud Shadow Palace, and drink and talk with Yuan Xi.
