"Conscience? This thing comes and goes on me, and I don't care if it hurts or not. ”

Li Fengming has no guilt, and he has no intention of introspection.

She and Xiao Mingche are at best "short-term alliances of interests accidentally formed due to marriage", which "husband" are they talking about?

Tsk, I haven't slept with him.

Xiao Mingche looked directly at her and didn't speak again.

"That's not what you said."

Li Fengming supported the edge of the table with one hand, and tapped the table with the index finger of his right hand. "You think, the so-called selling, it should be me to exchange things for money in other people's hands, and the things should be handed over to others to take away. But if you promise to do me a favor, I pay the landlord, not her. Right? I'm not going to let her take you, am I? ”

Although Xiao Mingche's tone was flat, his facial lines became more and more sharp, "I understand, it's not for sale, it's for rent." ”

"Nonsense. If it's renting, then someone else should give me money. So neither for sale nor for rent. Seeing that he was really a little angry, Li Fengming put away his frolicking appearance and was angry.

"I'm asking you for help, and I'll help you solve the problem in return. Between you and me, learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses is the best mutually beneficial symbiosis, isn't it? ”

Xiao Mingche's eyes were condensed, and he refused, "Don't help." ”

Li Fengming thought to himself that his previous joke might have been out of place. Seeing that it really made him angry, he also put away his deliberate frolic.

"Well, I won't be with you, I'll be serious," she scratched her forehead, "Actually, I must buy that little building, and there is an important reason. I found it next door......"

"Whatever the reason, I won't say yes." Xiao Mingche interrupted her.

Seeing that his attitude was cold and hard, Li Fengming further corrected his demeanor, "Don't be angry, I really won't trouble you." Listen to me, that place ......"

"Get out."

Interrupted by a cold voice again, Li Fengming was stunned on the spot.

At this time, Xiao Mingche's expression made her both strange and familiar. In a trance, she felt as if she had gone back in time to the wedding night half a year ago.

That's how Xiao Mingche looked at her at that time.

The beautiful amber pupils are shallower and lighter, like a calm and secluded cold pool under the moon, clear, ethereal, alienated, and guarded.

In the past six months, Li Fengming's days in the palace have been casual and unrestrained most of the time.

For more than a month before, she and Xiao Mingche got along day and night, and even shared the same bed. She tried her best to be kind and close, and after experiencing the incident in Ziji Garden, Xiao Mingche's attitude towards her became softer and softer.

This morning, he also said the word "letter" to her from the bottom of his heart, and with a gesture of acceptance, he asked his only advisor, Zhan Kaiyang, to ask her for advice.

The accumulation of these bits and pieces made her gradually careless, and today she is even more proud. She had forgotten that most people need to pay attention to their relationship with each other.

Because everyone has a reverse scale in their heart.

What is Xiao Mingche's reverse scale? She wasn't sure. But she knew that at this time, she had to go along with it, otherwise it was likely to exacerbate the conflict.

Before leaving, she solemnly apologized, "It's me who is abrupt, I shouldn't have made such an outrageous joke with you." Excuse me. ”

Xiao Mingche didn't respond, just looked at her coldly.

Because of the boredom in his heart, Li Fengming's tent tonight used the "Luo Ji Night Fragrance" that was not scattered.

In fact, this incense has no magical effect, but it is rich and long-lasting.

Li Fengming prefers this taste, and in the past, whenever he was uncomfortable in his heart, he could use this incense to be more or less pleasant. But tonight it didn't work.

Tossing and turning for nearly half an hour, she sat up with her arms and swept her long hair in frustration.

After a while, Chun Yudai quietly came in to check if she had kicked the quilt, and when she lifted the tent, she saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed wrapped in a thin brocade quilt in a daze.

There was no light in the bedroom, and the two suddenly looked at each other in the thin blue night, and both of them were shocked.

Li Fengming's hands were faster than his brain, and he had pinched the throat bone of the comer accurately between breaths.

"Your Highness, don't be surprised," Chun Yudai said hurriedly, "It's me." ”

Chun Yudai is not like Xin Wei, if Li Fengming does her best, she can't afford it.

When Li Fengming heard this, he hurriedly let go of his hand and rubbed it for her. "I'm sorry. It didn't hurt, did it? ”

"Ahem, it's okay. Your Highness doesn't need to apologize, it's no better than ever, and I'm relieved that you're keeping this habit well. Chun Yudai in turn comforted her softly.

"Yes, it's not easy to save my little life, and I don't know how long I can live a peaceful life."

Li Fengming patted the edge of the bed and said, "Sit down and say." Or are you going to drink saliva? ”

Chun Yudai shook her head and sat down according to her instructions, "Why hasn't Your Highness slept yet?" ”

"I can't sleep, I always think about the study in the north courtyard in the afternoon." Li Fengming bent his legs, his chin lightly resting on his knees.

Chun Yudai chuckled: "Your Highness hasn't figured out what made King Huai angry?" ”

"I didn't think about this," Li Fengming pulled his hair again, irritable, "I just don't understand myself." is so dignified, why did he suddenly have a brain twitch and wanted to deliberately mess with him? ”

The owner of the small building in Dongshi is indeed a person, and the conditions proposed are indeed such conditions.

But people didn't say that they had to see Xiao Mingche, and they didn't mean to be frivolous and entertaining.

What the owner of the house said was that King Huai and General Chen Chi in the Luoshan Victory, or the famous General Lian Zhen, as long as they could see one of the three and give her the opportunity to send a glass of wine to express her appreciation and admiration, then the deal would be sold.

"The Xia people advocate bravery, and the folk customs respect the bloody and warlike generals. If I had talked to Xiao Mingche well, he would probably not be so resistant and disgusted. The more Li Fengming thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

Chun Yudai realized, "Is His Royal Highness annoyed that he got away with it and messed up an originally simple matter, or is he annoyed that he has nothing to do and really provokes King Huai?" ”

"Both, right? Oops, I can't tell the difference. ”

"Your Highness's symptoms, it seems that you are interested in King Huai."

Li Fengming pouted unconvinced, "Nonsense." He seemed to be interested in me. He deliberately provoked me with chopsticks in the morning! ”

Chun Yudai was not present at the time, so she didn't quite believe her Highness's words. "Chopsticks are a coincidence, right? If King Huai really cares about you, then why didn't you play a beauty trick in front of him in the afternoon? ”

"Shut up and save me some face."

Li Fengming muttered, sighing impetuously.

"Why the hell do you think I'm teasing him? I knew that in order to help me buy a small building, so that Xiao Ming would condescend to eat with strangers, this request was ridiculous for him. It's even offensive. That's why when she entered the door, she tried her best to put on a seductive and flattering face.

To be honest, she had never been so flattering in front of her own father. It's a pity that Xiao Mingche not only didn't eat this set, but also obviously disgusted.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have been skinny."

Chun Yudai laughed sullenly, "Do you know that it's your own skin?" If King Huai asks you for help today, saying that he asked someone to do something, and the other party wants you to go to have a meal with you, then you are afraid that you will have to screw off King Huai's head. ”

"It's a big blow, I'm not his opponent at all." Li Fengming was amused by the picture described by Chun Yudai.

Laughing and laughing, she still listened to the truth in her words.

Although she meant to be just joking with Xiao Mingche, she would also feel offended if she put this joke on herself. So it is human nature for Xiao Mingche to be angry, and it is indeed her loss of proportion.

"Chunyu, you say, should I apologize and coax him now?"

Tomorrow I will enter the palace to meet the queen, if Xiao Mingche has not lost his anger by then, it will be so embarrassing to think about it and scratch the ground with his toes.

Chun Yudai was surprised, "It's midnight, are you sure you want to go to the North Courtyard at this time?" ”

"Isn't it appropriate?" Li Fengming asked and answered, "Yes, it's not suitable." At this time, when I was in trouble, others thought I was going to him. ”

Forget it, tomorrow's sorrow will come tomorrow's sorrow.

Early the next morning, Li Fengming canceled the sparring with Xin Wei, and after dressing up, he didn't have time to eat breakfast, so he immediately entered the palace with Xiao Mingche.

As expected, the atmosphere between the two was really awkward.

After getting into the carriage, Li Fengming took the initiative to apologize and explain the ins and outs of the matter.

“…… There is another reason, next to that small building is a privately opened Yashe Inn, I heard that several well-known scholars have recently moved in in a low-key manner. I was going to tell you when you went, and I was going to give you a little surprise. ”

Xiao Mingche said noncommittally "um" and handed her a red lacquered flat food box.

She opened the food box, and there was a delicate horseshoe crystal cake inside. No more, no less, just six, enough to cushion the stomach on the road.

Li Fengming was moved, but he didn't forget to take the opportunity to talk, "Thank you." How do you know I haven't eaten this morning? ”

"I don't know. Aunt Jiang gave it. Xiao Mingche leaned his back against the wall of the car, closed his eyes and took a nap, ignoring her anymore.

Li Fengming knew that he was at a loss, and seeing that he didn't seem to be completely discouraged, he quietly ate three crystal cakes and consciously left half of them for him.

The queen put on a big scene today, and the adult married princes and couples all gathered in the East Palace.

In addition to Xiao Mingche and Li Fengming, the prince and his wife, and King Heng and his wife, even Xiao Mingxun, the king of Fujun, was also listed with the princess of the county.

King Heng's biological mother, Concubine Shugui, and King Fujun's biological mother, Le Concubine, are also there. But Xiao Mingche's nominal mother, Qian Zhaoyi, was not there.

The queen intended to be powerful, and she didn't mention punishing Xiao Mingche or Li Fengming at all.

She first said to the concubines, "Qian Zhaoyi has no form, relying on the identity of the mother concubine to punish the King of Huai severely, and the palace has punished her to the Queen Mother's Mausoleum for half a year." Sisters, you need to take precautions, and remember that princes are first of all Your Majesty's bloodline, and then your sons. If there is a repeat offender, it will not be spared! ”

The concubines saluted, and no one objected.

Then, the queen said to several princes, "Although I attach great importance to the word 'filial piety', the prince's status is precious, even if the elder wants to teach the axe, he must follow the rules." Remember, you have a mother-in-law. If your mother doesn't know the severity and treats her harshly in private, the queen mother will make her own decisions. ”

Li Fengming followed everyone to thank and salute, but the afterglow secretly looked at Xiao Mingche.

His expression was faint, without ups and downs.

Whether the queen's words are true or not, the promise of asylum that has been delayed for more than ten years is of little significance.

The unknown pain and torture of the past have left an indelible mark on his body and heart.

was beaten in Ziji Garden last month, just because he wanted to change the opportunity to take Xia Wang. Although it was the best policy, it was his own choice.

He was no longer the kid who had no power to protect himself.

At the end of the day, the queen ordered everyone to go by themselves, and even the prince and his wife did not stay, but left Li Fengming alone.

Li Fengming thought that she was going to talk about the conflict between herself and Qian Zhaoyi in the Purple Pole Garden of the Imperial Palace, but the other party did not follow the routine.

"Princess Huai, do you remember that you gave Wenyin a bottle of 'Jade Rongsan' earlier?"

"After returning to my mother, I remembered it," Li Fengming smiled obediently and curiously, "Could it be that in the end, it was in the hands of the queen mother?" ”

"How can this palace snatch something from the little girl's hand?" The queen smiled gently, "Last time, she went into the palace with her mother to ask for peace, and everyone said that she was a lot whiter. The palace also asked people to go to the market and buy a few bottles from Wei merchants. ”

As she spoke, she ordered her close female officer to fetch a small bottle.

"You can help me see if this bottle of jade Rongsan is real or fake? Is it indeed the recipe of the Wei people? It took more than a month, but it didn't have the same effect as Wenyin. ”

Li Fengming took the bottle as he said, poured it into the palm of his hand, sniffed the smell first, and then twisted it with his fingers.

"After returning to my mother, this is considered a jade Rongsan. If it's true, it's true. ”

"How do you call 'sort of'?" The queen frowned lightly.

"The queen mother doesn't know that the Wei people make these things, and they are often 'one family'. It is only approximate, but not identical, and there will be differences in utility. ”

"According to this, if you are not an expert, I am afraid that you will not be able to distinguish the difference," the queen suddenly realized, "The bottle you gave Wenyin is the unique secret recipe of the Wei royal family?" ”

Li Fengming can be regarded as understanding why the queen kept her.

Her heart and eyes turned quickly, "After returning to my mother, it was sold by a business in Luodu." Erchen was used to the jade Rongsan of that family, so he bought some to bring with him before he got married. Oh, in the past six months, I have spent a lot of money, and I don't have a whole tank to honor my mother. ”

The queen patted the back of her hand, "If you have this heart, it will be done." This palace is also fresh, but it doesn't have to be used. ”

Li Fengming opened his mouth and came: "That's nature." The queen mother's complexion is white and tender, if it is not fresh, why use it? ”

"You're really welcome, you kid, you're really welcome to have a sweet mouth," the queen's smile gradually deepened, "This palace doesn't believe your nonsense." ”

"It's true, it's true, the queen mother wants to believe me." Li Fengming's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his words changed.

"However, since the queen mother wants to use a fresh, I will go back and look at the Wei shops in Yongjing City, and I will buy you exactly the same! It's a big deal to pay more, and when the merchant goes back to Luodu to pick up the goods, he goes to that shop to buy it. ”

"How hard is that? Others are afraid that they will not say that this palace is bullying you to run errands. ”

"Who dares to talk nonsense? I don't know how happy I am to be able to be filial to my mother. Besides, being idle in the house is also idle, so you can give me a chance to go out and hang out under your banner! ”

The queen was so happy by her coquettishness that she immediately ordered the female official to take fifty gold to her.

Li Fengming held a heavy box of gold, and Meizi came out of the middle palace, looking at everything in heaven and earth like ingots.

Even Xiao Mingche, who was waiting outside, was in the shape of an ingot.

Because there were palace people escorting along the road, she and Xiao Mingche did not talk, but just glanced at each other from time to time, with different thoughts.

It wasn't until he got into the carriage of Huaiwangfu that Li Fengming took the initiative to break the embarrassing deadlock, and talked about the origin of the box of gold with his eyebrows.

Xu was infected by her, and Xiao Mingche's expression eased a lot. "The bottle you gave Wenyin was really bought outside?"

"Of course not. Exclusive recipes, it is impossible to buy the same outside," Li Fengming smiled slyly, "I have a lot of money on my hands." Yesterday, I went to Guizixi to see the workshop, just to make fat powder balm there in the future. Remember to help me keep it secret, if anyone outside knows, you must have leaked the news, and I will knock your head off carefully. ”

It looks like a threat, but in fact it is a friendly message that "only you know this secret".

Xiao Mingche is quite useful, his sitting posture is not as tight as when he came in the morning, and his movements and tone have an air of intent to reconcile.

"Since you have a recipe, why do you say that you are buying it for the queen?"

"Am I stupid? If I can make it myself, then how can I collect the queen's money? ”

Li Fengming stroked the small box lying horizontally on his lap and sighed in satisfaction.

"This is the fifty gold I earned from the Lotus Flower. Fifty gold! ”

Xiao Mingche tilted his head out of the window, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised slightly.

"The keys to the treasury are all in your hands, and you can still be happy like this for fifty gold. Scold. ”

"That's different. This is my private property," Li Fengming was reasonable, "Although I have the key and the gold seal, but your treasury is not really my final say." If you and I turn our faces one day, you can take it back if you are unhappy. ”

Both are secretly bridging the impasse in their own ways.

The atmosphere in the carriage became more and more harmonious, as if returning to the scene of coexistence in the study of the palace chief Fengyuan.

Xiao Mingche looked back, "I didn't say take it back yesterday." ”

"Didn't I stop the precipice in time and didn't completely turn my face in the end?" Li Fengming looked at him, "I apologized to you in the morning, and I also explained that it was a joke." Why do you still hold grudges? ”

Xiao Mingche looked out the window again, "The apology in the morning was insincere, and the anger was not completely gone." ”

"What does it mean to be sincere?"

"Fifty gold is half for me, this is considered sincere." Xiao Mingche said casually.

Accumulate rice into a basket, gather sand into a tower. This fifty gold is an important part of the savings of ten thousand gold!

Li Fengming hugged the box tightly to his chest, "You better continue to be angry." No one will try to snatch the fifty gold from me. ”

Xiao Mingche not only personally fought with Li Fengming once, but also saw her beaten by Xin Wei until she burst into tears.

How capable is she, can he still count? "It's not hard to snatch something from you."

Saying that, the long arm is accumulating, and attacking it unprepared with lightning speed......

A mysterious soft touch made him instantly ossify, and he became a statue that could not move or speak, burned through the fire.

Li Fengming moved the box in his arms up a little, his face flushed as ripe as a berry.

She glared at the culprit, exhaled deeply several times, and barely suppressed the violent heartbeat before a question burst out from between her teeth—

"Xiao Mingche, what you said was snatching something from my 'hand', but where are your paws dancing?!"

Xiao Mingche only felt that the whole person was soaked in boiling water, and it was hot inside and out.

He lowered his eyelashes in embarrassment, staring at the paw that seemed to have its own thoughts, and was speechless.

。
