Chapter Ninety-Six: No Remorse
was overheard by Xiao Mingche that he was hiding behind people and became a nymphomaniac, although Li Fengming was embarrassed, he didn't feel that he was much wrong.
After nightfall, she had relieved the awkwardness in her heart, and sat cross-legged in the tent in her bedclothes.
She tilted her head to look at Xiao Mingche, who was sitting at the small round table with her back to her, and smiled softly, "You are also born with a good color, they can't compare with you." ”
The word "also" is quite perfunctory and harsh, and Xiao Mingche's back exudes cold dissatisfaction.
Li Fengming glared at the back of his head, "If you see it, you can take it, okay?" You're really interesting. I praise others, and you are not happy; I praise you, but you're still not happy. ”
When he praises others, he is full of tricks, and when it is his turn, he becomes "interesting" with yin and yang weirdness.
There is a ghost meaning.
Xiao Mingche's heart was even more blocked, and he didn't want to deal with her at all.
Li Fengming supported his cheek with one hand, and smiled helplessly, "Actually, I can somewhat understand why you are unhappy." But you don't have to be angry for so long, do you? ”
This is in the country of Qi.
Princess Huai is full of judgments about a group of strange men who have never seen each other, and she does not hesitate to praise her, and she is a nymphomaniac without scruples.
But in the final analysis, she and Xiao Mingche have already agreed that they are just symbiotic allies tied together by marriage, aren't they?
This kind of relationship only needs to safeguard the interests of the other party, even if it is to fulfill the responsibility of an ally.
"If you think about it, I'm just hiding in the mansion and talking about flowers, and I haven't really been out as Princess Huai. As long as you don't go out and talk nonsense, there will be no damage to your face, reputation, and interests at all, right? ”
Li Fengming casually curled his fingers around the ends of his hair and muttered to the back.
"One thing to say, your 'I'm very aggrieved, come and coax' posture is very similar to my aunt's fine little Langjun. Aren't you guys not interested in this? ”
Xiao Mingche's back stiffened, neither looking back nor answering.
From the afternoon to this moment, for nearly two hours, Li Fengming was patiently careful, but he still showed no signs of softening.
Li Fengming couldn't hold back his gentleness and patience anymore, and he was a little angry, "Xiao Mingche!" I really have something important to tell you. Let me ask you one last time, do you want to listen to me? ”
"Say it." Xiao Mingche still didn't look back, picked up the cup and sipped water.
Li Fengming waved his fist at his back and got straight to the point.
"The imposition of heavy taxes on older unmarried women is only a proposal of King Heng, and there is no official conclusion between your father and the emperor and the various ministries of the court. The queen deliberately made the scene so big today, probably because she intended to build momentum in public opinion in advance to help the prince stop King Heng. ”
She has always been sensitive in these matters, because she is accustomed to looking at problems from a higher level than ordinary people, and it is easier to see the root cause.
In recent years, the internal friction and dispute between the two factions of Prince Qi and King Heng has been the biggest difference between the "main battle" and the "main peace" on the surface, but in fact, Emperor Qi is indecisive in the country's major politics.
The king is uncertain, and if it weren't for these two people fighting, it would be someone else.
"This time, King Heng shot again, and the queen also stood behind the prince and mixed in, obviously to start a new round of court fighting. If King Heng's advice is adopted, it will definitely promote the change of the laws of the Qi kingdom, forcing the women of the whole country to marry and have children in advance. ”
Li Fengming became serious and spoke much faster.
"King Heng's move seems to be a compromise and in line with the prince's 'main battle' thinking, but in fact it will only incite the people of the whole country to be dissatisfied with the prince. The scope of this influence is so wide that the situation in your country cannot be said to have major changes, and it is not uncommon for the two forces to fight to the last of their hearts. ”
Having said this, Xiao Mingche finally looked back. But his expression was still cold, and his eyes were like ancient wells.
"I warned you that if you continue to take an unclear position as before, all parties will work together to get rid of you first, so as to prevent you from becoming a variable in the decisive battle."
Li Fengming hooked his soft lips at him, and he didn't smile.
"Okay, if you want to be silent and stalemate to the end today, then I will be benevolent and righteous here. In short, Xia Wangzhi is the last key node for you to gain a foothold in self-preservation. I taught you how to pave a road before, what to do next, if you want to go, I don't care about you anymore. ”
She tore the bed net, lay down on the quilt, and after spitting deeply a few times to calm down, she began to brew sleep.
Moments later, the lights in the bedroom were all turned off.
In the dark, Xiao Mingche said in a deep voice, with a sincere attitude, "Li Fengming, please remind me of the road ahead." ”
"If you ask me to mention something, I have to agree? Think beautifully. Li Fengming yawned a lot, a little provocative.
Who hasn't lost their temper yet? I'll run away when I save enough money, too lazy to get used to your so many problems.
I don't know how long it took, Li Fengming felt a warm body on his side in a daze, so he moved in angrily.
Unfortunately, the bed was so small that she slept on the inside, and with a slight movement, her arm was pressed against the wall.
Xiao Mingche seemed to be able to see things in the dark, and immediately stretched out his arms to get her back. Li Fengming, who was sleepy, was about to raise his hand to push him, but he was held down.
"You don't allow me to touch you, but you touch me yourself but you are getting more familiar with it day by day?" Li Fengming muttered vaguely, his voice was dissatisfied, but he didn't bother to wrestle with him senselessly, "Let go." ”
Vaguely sensing that she was really a little annoyed, Xiao Mingche hesitated for a moment and explained in a low voice, "I won't let you touch me, because if you suddenly reach out to me, I will be afraid." Especially in front of people. ”
This is the first time that Xiao Mingche has clearly explained why he doesn't like to be touched, which is somewhat of a sign of weakness and peace.
Li Fengming was slightly stunned, slowly opened his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Is it you, when you were a child...... What did Qian Zhaoyi do? ”
"She sometimes hides needles in her hands. Sometimes a handkerchief soaked in mustard juice would be suddenly pressed against my wound. And so on. ”
There are many more, and he does not want to recall.
Every time Li Fengming smiled like a flower and suddenly stretched out his hand to him, he knew in his heart that she was not Qian Zhaoyi, and he knew that she would not really hurt him, but he would still be afraid.
The weak and helpless time when he was a child left too many indelible marks on Xiao Mingche's heart.
Even though he is now an adult who has enough strength to protect himself and fight back, even though Qian Zhaoyi is currently in the Empress Dowager's Mausoleum, suffering from repeated trials and tribulations between the queen and Concubine Shugui, he has not been able to get much better.
Although he can control the strength of his counterattack, he will try his best to make himself look calm and fearless, but the fear that desperately emerges from his bones is not fake.
Those memories were so painful that they still limit many of his behaviors.
The secret fear that will arise in certain situations has become an instinctive shackle that he cannot get rid of.
"I see. Then I will be more careful to avoid you in front of people in the future. Li Fengming's voice was much softer, full of comfort and encouragement.
"However, if you can get used to normal contact with people, you may gradually become less afraid. After all, someone else is not her, and you are not the same as you were when you were a child. See how good you are now? Just holding me down like this, without doing my best, I can only lie flat and let you slaughter. ”
There was no ridicule, no sarcasm, no weirdness, no respect, just thinking about how to get along with him more harmoniously in the future.
Suddenly, Xiao Mingche's chest was full of sweetness and warmth.
He found that he was here with Li Fengming, as if he was different from others.
Whether it is the so-called "lady gentleman Zhao Qing", or "the jade prescription with stars in the eyes", "A Ning with honey in the dimple", or "Cen Jiashu who kneades sugar like a spring breeze"......
Although she is full of praise for these people, the focus is only on their skin.
It was different for him.
Li Fengming not only always considers the pros and cons of his future, but also always indulges and protects him, infiltrating his numb and dry heart bit by bit.
He suddenly remembered that Lian Zhen had said a long time ago, "The princess is deeply affectionate to you", he didn't believe it at the time, but at this moment, somehow, his heart was beating hard.
Xiao Mingche secretly pursed his lips in the dark, and inexplicably wanted to laugh.
"You are easily restrained by me, it's not that I'm so powerful, it's that Xin Wei doesn't practice you the right way on weekdays."
"Don't say bad things about Xin Wei," Li Fengming muttered with a laugh, "You don't know what she's practicing me." ”
"She is practicing you to 'dodge and run when you are attacked alone, but you can't escape and pretend to be captured, waiting for an opportunity to counter-kill'."
When Xiao Mingche first saw Li Fengming beaten by Xin Wei to tears and jump up and down in the palace, he already saw the clues.
At that time, he didn't know what they were doing, and he didn't want to interfere, so he didn't bother to ask.
Now that I guessed Li Fengming's true identity, I want to understand that they are taking precautions.
In the past, Xiao Mingche lived to live, and he couldn't tell what it was for, and he didn't know what he should live. Now I suddenly know.
He wanted to protect Li Fengming by his side, so he wanted to be stronger.
He cleared his throat uncomfortably, trying not to sound too eager and firm in his voice.
"Li Fengming, if you teach me to deal with the next changes in the court, then I will also teach you how to protect yourself in case of an attack."
"Haha, that sounds pretty real." Li Fengming chuckled.
"Is there a deal?"
"Deal. It's good to be alive, I'm sorry for my life. ”
"Then starting tomorrow morning, you will go to the martial arts arena with me every day."
"Good. I'll also help you figure out the next step before Xia Wang, "Li Fengming warned with a smile, "But you can't say bad things about Xin Wei again." Otherwise, even if I can't beat you, I'll bite you to death. ”
"Oh." Xiao Mingche looked at the darkness in the tent, the blood all over his body was hot and rushing, and his limbs were numb for a while.
When the person next to the pillow breathed sweetly, he smiled at the corner of his lips, and said silently like a naughty teenager, Xin Wei was a useless fool.
I said bad things about her, but you're here to bite me. Just know to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, the martial arts arena of the Huaiwang Mansion was very lively.
Li Fengming got up late, and when he and Xin Wei came to the martial arts arena, Xiao Mingche had already made a move with a bunch of palace guards.
The two of them didn't bother, and stood on the sidelines to watch this battle with more than one enemy.
Looking at it, Li Fengming regretted agreeing to trade with Xiao Mingche last night.
"His strength is obviously three points stronger than yours! I'm going to be beaten until I cry. ”
Li Fengming looked at Xin Wei with a shrunken look, and he was so impressed that he had no majesty at all.
In the way of martial arts, Li Fengming is a half-ass, Xin Wei is a true expert, and his eyes are very poisonous.
"Where is he three points stronger than me? Gangmeng has five, six, seven, eight points! ”
Xin Wei smiled and burst out with a mouth full of white teeth, "In my opinion, Your Highness, you will not be beaten and cried by him, but will only be broken by him." But if he exerts five points of strength, this beautiful head on your neck will fly eight feet away. ”
Hearing that his fate was so unoptimistic, Li Fengming trembled.
"Why don't I slip away? It's a big deal that I teach him in vain, but do good deeds, don't ask for anything in return, and say goodbye. ”
It's a pity that she was discovered by Xiao Mingche within five steps.
Xiao Mingche immediately withdrew from the siege of the guards and swept towards Li Fengming, who was afraid to escape.
Although his shot has been somewhat restrained, his movements are swift and his momentum is fierce, like a reckless wolf.
Poor Li Fengming was "bitten" by him in the blink of an eye, and all resistance was just the effect of the sheep's hooves struggling and fluttering, and it was impossible to escape.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Mingche caught her, instead of attacking her, he gestured to Xin Wei.
Xin Wei didn't know what he meant at first, and glanced at Zhan Kaiyang from a distance, and then he understood Xiao Mingche's intentions-
His Royal Highness King Huai's real drill goal is not to make Li Fengming become stronger quickly.
His goal is to integrate the guards of the Huai Wangfu and make these people the first line of protection for Li Fengming; And the spicy fennel is the second course; He himself is Li Fengming's last birth.
With Xiao Mingche's order, everyone present was divided into offensive and defensive sides, and each of them was in position.
For a time, more than a dozen people led by Zhan Kaiyang became "assassins".
Li Fengming usually only faced Xin Wei alone, and he was very embarrassed.
At this moment, more than a dozen people suddenly surrounded her with all their strength and at a tricky angle, and the scene was so chaotic that she was completely confused, and she didn't know which direction to flee in.
In the fierce scuffle, Xiao Mingche wrapped one arm around her, as easily as a big puppet hugging a cotton core.
He moved his moves with ease, suddenly detained Li Fengming in his arms, and suddenly cooperated with Xin Wei to protect her behind his back.
Being protected by him like this, Li Fengming didn't need to flee in embarrassment as usual, but the whole process was spinning, and his mind was full of clouds and mountains and fog.
Today is the first time to cooperate with the drill, and Xiao Mingche is still a little rusty.
In the end, most of the guards who pretended to be assassins as the attackers tried their best to contain Xiao Mingche and Xin Wei, while Zhan Kaiyang cooperated with others to play a trick and successfully found a flaw......
slapped Li Fengming on the back shoulder with a palm.
Zhan Kaiyang was not a top master, but he never expected Li Fengming to be so indifferent.
This palm slapped over, Li Fengming was caught off guard, and suddenly hit Xiao Mingche's solid back head-on.
Xiao Mingche stabilized his figure, although he was half a step slower, he still clasped Li Fengming's waist with his backhand, and slapped the dumbfounded Zhan Kaiyang away with one palm.
Li Fengming's tears fell sharply, and he was carried back to the bedroom by Xiao Mingche.
She sat on the bed, crying aggrieved and irritable. "Look at the way you came up with this!"
Xiao Mingche was at a loss, "I was in a hurry today, and I couldn't think it all through for a while." In the future, we will check and fill in the gaps every day, and we will ......"
"That's it! You'll have to make it clear to the assassin later, either catch it alive or tear it up on the spot! No assassin cripples people! No! Li Fengming covered his heart with anger and burst into tears.
In fact, she already understood Xiao Mingche's thoughts, and she also knew in her heart that if he practiced this method well, he would really be able to ensure that he was well in the Qi Kingdom.
So it's not that she doesn't want to accept his protection, and she doesn't really want to cry.
can't stand the fact that he was born with such a physique, and he cries when he eats too much pain, which has little to do with his mood.
But it was the first time Xiao Mingche saw her crying so miserably, and he was panicked and distressed at the moment, "Where is it hurt?" Why is it disabled? ”
It is normal to be injured when practicing martial arts, but there will never be a dead hand between oneself, and Zhan Kaiyang's palm will not really hurt her muscles and bones.
"In the future, I'm probably as flat as my chest and back, do you think this is disabled?!"
Li Fengming was angry, raised his tearful bright face, grabbed Xiao Mingche's shirt indiscriminately, and pulled him down violently.
Xiao Mingche didn't expect her to lose her temper suddenly, she suddenly lost her balance, and she fell to the bed with this force.
The picture froze, their lips only a finger's width apart, and their breaths were filled with each other's scents.
Xiao Mingche clearly felt the soft "unevenness" on his chest, the beautiful Adam's apple rolled several times, and his eyes looked straight into Li Fengming's misty tearful eyes.
"Where is it as flat as the back? If you really want to settle the account, you can say so. It doesn't have to be ...... Exaggerated means. ”
His deep voice was slight, rustling, and the breath he brought out between his words made Li Fengming's face red and his ears red.
"Who really wants to settle accounts? You don't want a thief to shout to catch a thief," Li Fengming's heart was beating like a beat, and he let go of his hand, and he emphasized, "Actually, it's just an accident, you believe me." ”
————
The urn sound is angry and crying, glutinous and trembling, and the aftertaste is long.
In the specific ambiguous situation of "bed tent", it exudes a different charm that seduces the soul.
"Believe in you...... It's weird. You can think about it, if you settle the account, you can't regret it," Xiao Mingche muttered in a deep voice, hiding the final consultation and confirmation, "Huh? ”
The single note at the end of his words was gently thrown upward, like a big fluffy invisible tail, flicking around Li Fengming's red ears.
The morning light shines on the side of the window, Xiao Mingche's handsome face ignites, and he lifts his lips and smiles.
The pair of amber peach blossom eyes were scorching and crystal bright, and there was a magnificent Qinghua in the eye waves, like the morning sun reflecting the Cheng Lake.
With a flick of his fingers, he could see that the flowers in Li Fengming's heart were in full bloom at four o'clock, and the strong honey smell was all over the sky.
This situation, this scene, this person, this feeling, this thought, made her deeply suspect that she might be a little blind.
Because she actually felt that even if ten Cen Jiashu were added up, it would not be enough to reach the one Xiao Ming Chetian in front of her!
Dizzy, she remembered that Xin Wei had said that there was an introduction in "The Legend of Yanxiangchun" that did not contain four or six -
In life, you need to enjoy yourself in time, and there are flowers that can be folded. As the saying goes, there is beauty, when you have fun, don't miss it.
"Exactly! No regrets. ”
The former prince is also a king. His Royal Highness Li Fengming said everything he said, and he had no regrets.
Of course, neither she nor Xiao Mingche realized that the "no regrets" they said to each other did not mean the same thing.
