Chapter 89: Who Am I?
The wheels rolled, and the windproof marquee on the doors flickered along with the curtains.
The lantern emitted a warm and soft light through the thin crystal lampshade, and the light swayed with it, spilling into the dim cabin through the gap in the curtain.
Li Fengming's back was against Xiao Mingche's right shoulder, and he looked back at him slightly.
Xiao Mingche lowered his eyes and looked at her silky drunken eyes, and his throat rolled uncontrollably several times.
His mind was a mess, and his chest seemed to be blocked with a mess of incomprehensible numbness.
He was sure that he was not greedy for a cup at the palace banquet tonight.
So I couldn't figure out why I went crazy with the drunk Li Fengming.
He didn't understand why Fang Cai wanted to kiss the drunkard. I don't understand why she keeps rejecting her requests to "do it again" at this moment.
"It's not impossible to kiss again. But you have to answer me a question first. β
Li Fengming's drunken voice was full of confusion: "Hmm? β
"Do you know who I am?"
Dizzy, Xiao Mingche heard his hoarse voice ask questions that made him puzzled.
Q: What does this do? She's just a drunkard.
"No one taught you the rules? His Royal Highness Li Fengming wants to kiss you, this is called 'favor', you should accept it happily, where are there so many problems? β
Li Fengming snorted rather dissatisfied, hooked the back of his neck with his backhand, and wanted to press his face against him.
However, at this moment, her arms are weak and weak, and if Xiao Mingche is not obedient and cooperative, she is not easy to steal incense successfully.
The soft red lips were close at hand, and the two sniffed at each other,
Xiao Mingche gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, holding back the wildly spreading ambition in his heart.
He stubbornly maintained the two finger-width distance between his lips, so that the drunkard in his arms would not easily succeed.
He was more and more unsure of who was the drunk between himself and this womanβ
First of all, he didn't understand what Li Fengming was saying.
Secondly, seeing that the woman was so drunk that he was babbling nonsense, he still wanted to get a definite answer from her mouth.
"You'll have to answer first. Who am I? β
Li Fengming's muffled voice was anxious and annoyed, "It doesn't matter who you are, it doesn't matter." You say if you want to kiss me! β
Unimportant?!
These three words were like a basin of cold water coming down, making Xiao Mingche's fiery body and mind suddenly cold.
"You mean, whoever it is, can kiss you?"
"It's kissed by me." Li Fengming emphasized.
Obviously, the focus of this drunkard's heart is not the same thing as what he minds.
"Kiss the ghost. Let go! Li Fengming, you ...... Not! β
After waking up the next day, Li Fengming wanted to hit his head on the bedpost and die.
She remembered all the bits and pieces of what happened after she left the palace last night, but those clips were enough for her to be embarrassed.
She clearly remembered that in the carriage, she threatened Xiao Mingche one moment "I will never kiss you", and the next moment she pestered others for kisses.
also repeatedly emphasized that this is the favor of His Royal Highness Li Fengming.
In the end, he was rejected and forced to kiss.
Drunk and delirious, he can still sneak attack and kiss! She couldn't understand what was wrong with her.
However, Xin Wei told her that what she remembered was not the best part of last night.
ββ¦β¦ When I went to help you out of the carriage, you threw yourself on me and told me to take you back to this courtyard at once. He also pointed at King Huai very angrily and shouted loudly, saying that he wouldn't let you kiss, so you definitely don't go to the North Courtyard. β
Xin Wei resisted the urge to burst into laughter, stood upright in front of the bed tent, and recounted in great detail the crazy feat of His Royal Highness Li Fengming yesterday.
"At that time, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang, several waiters in the North Courtyard, Zhu'er and Zhaofu, as well as me and Chunyu, were all there."
So many people present could hear it clearly and clearly, and now that the night has passed, the entire Huai Wangfu must have known the secret of "His Royal Highness the Huai King refuses to let the princess kiss".
Thinking of the fact that the prince revealed that this mansion is "not clean" earlier, maybe before the sun sets today, the entire Yongjing City will know this secret.
Li Fengming, who was lying on his stomach and buried his face in the pillow, was embarrassed, clenched his fists and pounded the bed.
But Xin Wei has to make up for it again, "Actually, this is not the most embarrassing." The most embarrassing thing is that King Huai didn't say that he wanted you to go to the North Courtyard at all. β
She couldn't help but laugh out loud as she spoke.
"Shut up and disappear immediately." After finishing speaking, Li Fengming pulled the quilt to cover his head and let out a long and desperate scream.
It's not the first time she's been drunk, but it's the first time she's been so embarrassed.
I really don't know how much courage it takes to support her to live tenaciously.
Chun Yudai inquired about Zhan Kaiyang, only to find out why Li Fengming was drunk like that last night.
The wine at the palace banquet last night came from the royal Shaofu of Qi State, and was called "Drunken Flower Shade". The entrance is crisp and soft, with a hint of fruity sweetness in the aftertaste, the taste is excellent, and it seems that there is no strength, which is easy to provoke people to be greedy.
This wine usually only appears at the banquet of the Qi State Palace, and it is not often seen outside.
Li Fengming has been here for less than a year, and he didn't use this kind of wine when he got married, so he didn't know anything about the stamina of this wine.
She drank most of the altar before and after the palace banquet, and it was strange that she was not drunk and crazy.
It's hard to buy.
Li Fengming hid in the dormitory for a whole day, and only in the afternoon did he endure his shame and allow Chun Yudai and Xin Wei to bring food in.
She didn't have the habit of eating in the bedroom, but she really didn't have the face to step out of the room today.
Li Fengming pulled the meal without knowing what to eat, and didn't dare to raise his head.
It's not like she hasn't been drunk in the past, but the most excessive time is just to climb onto the roof and chant poetry to the moon.
Why was he so drunk that he kissed Xiao Mingche last night? She thought about it for a day, but she still couldn't figure it out.
Chun Yudai frowned and glared at Xin Wei sternly, "Have you shown His Highness any messy books recently?!" β
Don't look at Chun Yu Daiwenwen's weakness and powerlessness, but when she gets serious and talks about people, even Li Fengming has to scare her for three points, let alone Xin Wei.
"Wronged! Your Highness asked me to come, but I didn't give it at all! β
Xin Wei raised her hands in the air in surrender.
"A few days ago, for "The Legend of Yanxiangchun", she coerced and lured me, and chased me all the way from here to the martial arts arena, and I didn't give it to me!"
Li Fengming listened absentmindedly to the conversation between the two, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "Today, the North Courtyard ...... What's moving? β
Xin Wei hurriedly replied, "King Huai went out early in the morning, wearing regular clothes." Even Zhan Kaiyang didn't know where he went. β
"The front door or the back door?" Li Fengming hurriedly raised his head, weak and uneasy.
"I remember Zhu'er said that the back door of King Huai's Mansion is not far away, it seems to be a river?"
Chun Yudai wiped the corners of her lips with a silk for her, and couldn't help laughing, "No matter how annoyed King Huai is, he won't jump into the river if he is forcibly kissed by his princess, right?" β
Man, you can't do anything wrong. If you are weak-minded, you will become stupid.
"That's right. It's almost time for Xia Wang, and he should have walked around the houses more. Li Fengming held his forehead, so embarrassed that his ten toes curled up in his shoes.
"You say, will people have the same periods of estrus as leopards?"
There is a leopard room in the royal palace of the Wei State, and Li Fengming has seen the scene of a leopard in estrus when he was a child.
ββββββ
Thinking about it now, she seemed to have a bit of that trend last night. There is no reason to talk about it at all, it is both beastly and lustful, and there is no humanity.
Fortunately, she couldn't beat Xiao Mingche in the first place, and she was drunk like that last night, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
Chun Yudai sighed helplessly, "If you have to say that, it's not all unreasonable." After all, by the end of autumn this year, His Highness will be twenty years old. β
If it hadn't been for the accident more than two years ago, Li Fengming would have chosen someone to marry after the coming-of-age ceremony, and he would not have been dragged to the age of nineteen to meet his relatives.
Li Fengming put down his chopsticks and pinched the tips of his ears that were hot with shame, "Anyway, I forcibly kissed him last night against his wishes." A mistake is a mistake, and I have to make up for it. β
Although she has not yet been educated, in the teachings she has received, it is not a sin for men to love women-
The premise is that both parties are willing.
Herein lies the problem.
She clearly remembered that Xiao Mingche clearly refused last night.
Moreover, she and Xiao Mingche said from the beginning that the two sides would coexist in the form of an alliance of interests.
Although she was drunk last night, the fact was that she forcibly kissed someone, breaking the prior agreement between the two parties.
If she prevaricates and pretends to be stupid, this is not in line with her code of conduct.
But an apology alone is too light to mend a broken covenant......
After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to end up and went down the steps, Li Fengming hugged his head irritably.
"I don't drink alcohol in my life. I'm not human when I drink again. β
At the time of the unitary, Xiao Mingche returned to his home and came to Li Fengming's courtyard.
Last night's "victim" took the initiative to come to the door, and the thug Li Fengming, who didn't know how to end up after playing hooligans, was going crazy in the bedroom.
As soon as she heard that Xiao Mingche was outside the door, her mind suddenly turned white, and the whole figure was set on fire.
Seeing is not daring to see. First, the heart is weak, and the second is that the cloak is scattered, and it is really not suitable to show up.
So she was behind the door, and like a thief, she opened the crack of the door, revealing only an embarrassed smile.
Xiao Mingche didn't know who he was going to see today, and he was dressed completely differently from usual.
Plain silver crown tied hair, dressed in ink-colored soft gold fragrant cloud gauze wide-sleeved robe, silver belt about the waist.
The sunset of late spring outlined the gold along the outline of his figure, and the handsome and indifferent face with delicate facial features shone brightly.
He stood at the door with his hands on his back, without joy or anger, and there was an indescribable calm and grace all around him.
Li Fengming forcibly ignored the sudden disordered and fierce heartbeat, secretly staggered his gaze, and cleared his throat, "That, I was really ...... last night"
Xiao Mingche stretched out his left hand and interrupted her expressionlessly, "The key to the treasury." β
Li Fengming was slightly stunned, and then suddenly had an epiphany.
At the beginning, Xiao Mingche gave her the key to the treasury, on the condition that she not touch him in the future. She broke her promise last night, and of course there was no reason to take this advantage with peace of mind.
"Good. You wait a moment. β
She quickly ran back to the inner room and took out the small red sandalwood box containing the treasury key and Xiao Mingche's private seal from the carved chest of drawers.
It is also unjust, the key to this mansion has been in her hands for more than half a year, and she has not had the opportunity to use half of the copper of the Huai Wangfu, so she will return it to the original owner.
It's really a bamboo basket to draw water, and I haven't caught any cheapness, and the more I think about it, the more I lose.
When handing the box out from the crack in the door, Li Fengming whispered, "I'm really sorry for what happened last night." β
Xiao Mingche's eyes fluctuated slightly, and he looked at her lightly, "Hmm." β
"Ahem, let me ask cheekily," Li Fengming said, "Can our symbiotic alliance continue to be maintained?" β
Xiao Mingche took the box, was silent, and asked instead of answering, "I asked you a question last night, but do you have an answer?" β
What question did he ask last night?
Li Fengming hid behind the door, rolled his eyes and looked at the lintel, and recalled for a moment, "You asked me, 'Who are you'?" I just remember you asked me this. β
What the hell is this problem? Is it important for them to be allied?
Xiao Ming's eyes were dark, and he squeezed the box tightly. "If you can't remember, forget it."
It seems that something else was asked.
Li Fengming tilted his head and looked at him through the crack in the door, and whispered, "I don't remember." If it's a very important question, can you ask it again now? β
"Not necessarily." Xiao Mingche turned around and left.
"What about the Alliance, then?" Li Fengming looked at his back and asked, "Can I do something to redeem it?" β
"The alliance is broken, and it can't be recovered." Xiao Mingche's back exuded a cold.
Li Fengming knew that he was wrong, and he was embarrassed to argue about anything, so he could only sigh faintly.
On the third day of the fifth month, Li Fengming finally relieved the embarrassment.
After getting up early in the morning, she canceled her usual morning exercise and called Chun Yudai.
"You go to Guizixi to see the progress of 'Rose Water' and 'Peach Blossom Jiao'. If the finished product has been produced, no matter how much, move it to the shop first. Let the jade side be arranged, and put it out together with the batch of jade Rongsan and Luo Ji night incense that were made earlier. You first find the supplier to order the next batch of raw materials, and I will find a way to deal with the money. β
Li Fengming was embarrassed and worried in the hospital for the past two days, and he didn't even have time to pick up the name of the business.
Now that we have eased up, we have to hurry up.
Now that the shop has just opened, it costs money everywhere, and it is when she can only get in and out that the hundreds of gold in her hand have bottomed out.
The day before yesterday, he returned the key to the treasury to Xiao Mingche, and it was inconvenient to borrow the money from the Huai Wangfu in the subsequent turnover, so he had to find another way.
"Rose water and peach blossom should be ready to ship. But why is His Highness suddenly in such a hurry? β
"On the day of the palace banquet, when I greeted the queen, a few people asked why Wenyin was so much whiter," Li Fengming smiled, "I took the opportunity to talk about the shops in the East Market, and I think there will be customers coming to the door one after another." β
After Chun Yudai took the order and left, Li Fengming called Xin Wei again.
When Xin Wei entered the bedroom, Li Fengming was sitting at a small round table with a bunch of pearls and a few small pieces of jewelry brought from Wei.
"Your Highness, what are you doing here?" Xin Wei was puzzled.
Li Fengming said: "The remaining gold ingots are not enough to buy the next batch of raw materials." β
In winter, the queen sent some rewards to the palace to reward Li Fengming for his "meritorious service" in front of the empress dowager.
Most of these items are stamped with the imperial seal of the Imperial Mansion, and the jewelry is not a regulation that ordinary people can wear.
And although the dowry she brought from Wei was quite rich, it was almost like these two situations.
After all, this pearl can be taken out for money. There is no royal mark, and no one can use it, so it is convenient to shoot.
This was given by Xiao Mingche when he replied to her in the south, and it is estimated that the person himself forgot about it.
"Although these items were brought from the Wei State, they were not dowry. You should recognize. β
Li Fengming picked up a small purple and gold hair crown decorated with hibiscus beads, and rubbed it reluctantly.
"This is what Ning'er gave me. If you can't sell it, just let it be, and redeem it when the shop returns to its original value, and ask the pawnshop shopkeeper to keep it carefully. As for this set," she flicked the lotus-shaped jewelry with her fingertips, and chuckled helplessly, "sell it." β
"Your Highness! This is ......" Xin Wei looked worried.
Li Fengming raised his hand to cover his lips and yawned lazily, "It's not the only thing in the world, it's sold and sold, it's not so easy to be discovered." β
"Your Highness has been a nostalgic person since he was a child. Really willing? β
"In order to protect my precious life, do I have less to give? What is this. β
Li Fengming's clouds were light and light, as if he was talking about other people's business.
"You wait and see, as long as the successor of Wei is decided, the assassins sent by the East Palace to assassinate me will soon arrive in Yongjing City."
It was an expedient measure to come to Qi with her relatives, but now that she has offended Xiao Mingche ruthlessly, it is equivalent to having no shelter here, let alone staying for a long time.
After the drunken madness a few days ago, it was destined that she would not have much time left in her stay.
Hurry up and make money and run away is the top priority, and there is nothing that cannot be reluctant.
