Chapter Seventy-Four: Favoritism
In the end, Emperor Qi didn't mention Qian Zhaoyi again, let alone how to deal with her.
Even if Emperor Qi was like this, Li Fengming also accepted it when he saw it, and did not continue to chase and beat Qian Zhaoyi.
She knew that although Emperor Qi would have some scruples about giving in to her, the princess, it was a limit.
Li Fengming's advance and retreat made Emperor Qi quite useful, and his tone of voice was kind.
At the request of the crown prince, Emperor Qi allowed Xiao Mingche to participate in the Xia Wangzhi in June this year, and reduced his fasting period from three months to one month.
Because he had been in the palace for more than ten days, this meant that he and Li Fengming would be able to lift the ban and return home at the beginning of next month.
As for Xiao Mingche's request to "be punished on behalf of his wife", Emperor Qi did not say whether he was okay or not, and only asked him to listen to the queen when the time came.
After this trouble, Emperor Qi was very tired. He pinched the eye hole with his long finger and ordered the prince and Xiao Mingche and his wife to go by themselves.
Xiao Mingche and Li Fengming hadn't gone far after leaving the Purple Pole Garden, and the prince came to call them along.
After standing still, the prince glanced at Li Fengming first.
Sensing the hint of inquiry in his gaze, Li Fengming smiled, "Since the crown prince and His Royal Highness King Huai have something to discuss......
She wanted to go back to Changfeng Garden first, but before she could finish speaking, Xiao Mingche turned her head and interrupted, "Go to the front tree and wait, don't go far." ”
According to the Qi system, after a woman gets married, she needs to obey her husband's order.
Although Li Fengming and Xiao Mingche have an agreement of "superficial husband and wife" in private, but now that they are the prince, they have to do a good job of superficial work.
"Okay." Li Fengming gathered the fire fox Qiu Dayu on his body, and after the blessing, he took Xin Wei to the tree five steps away and stood and waited according to Xiao Mingche's wishes.
The crown prince was stunned, and said softly to Xiao Mingche, "You can rest assured that the queen mother will not be embarrassed by you." ”
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Xiao Mingche thanked him with no sincerity, cold and detached.
The prince didn't think it was wrong, and said, "I heard that you didn't let others help deal with the injuries on your body. You kid, you've been so weird and stubborn, I really don't understand what you're screwing. ”
Xiao Mingche didn't understand why this person suddenly pretended to be a "friendly brother" to get close to him.
But after all, the status of the crown prince is half a head higher than that of ordinary imperial heirs, and he can't scoff at it, and it's not suitable to turn around and leave.
So he replied flatly, "The injury is not serious, there is no need to bother." ”
The prince's smile did not change: "Although your martial arts are the strongest among the brothers, but being able to bear it does not mean that you really don't hurt." Take care of yourself. ”
These words sounded very much like the care from his brother, but Xiao Mingche was not only unhappy, but also had indescribable irritability in his heart.
His eyesight is excellent, and the prince frequently glances at Li Fengming when he speaks, how could he not see this little action?
And Li Fengming under the tree is obviously not ignorant. She even smiled at the prince, as if exchanging glances.
At least, in Xiao Mingche's opinion.
He lowered his long eyelashes slightly to remove the undercurrent under his eyes, took half a step to the side with his long legs, and said softly, "Obey the prince's teachings." ”
His move was not abrupt, and it seemed that it was for the convenience of the salute.
But it was so coincidental that the tall body just blocked Li Fengming who was standing under the tree behind the side.
After bidding farewell to the crown prince, Xiao Mingche was silent all the way.
Li Fengming said with concern: "Isn't it painful?" Did they just give you the medicine? ”
"No," Xiao Mingche looked at the gloomy sky in the distance, "I didn't let anyone touch me." ”
Li Fengming remembered that he had told himself before that if he saw him sick, leave it alone, especially not let the imperial doctor approach him.
"Didn't you even pick the thorns in your back?!"
"Hmm."
Xiao Mingche not only can't trust the people in front of the palace, but also the people at the head of the palace.
Except for Uncle Jiang, who took care of the palace for him, he never let others touch him when he was injured and weak.
"If you can trust me, go back and let Chun Yu take the medicine for you."
Li Fengming rubbed his cold fingertips and sighed softly: "Don't be stubborn at this time." No matter how much you can carry it, you won't be hurt if you are injured. ”
She didn't know what was wrong with her words.
As soon as the words fell, Yu Guang saw that Xiao Mingche's body was slightly cold, and even the side lines of his face were sharpened.
"Not necessarily."
This made Li Fengming laugh angrily, "I helped you today, so you still can't believe me?" ”
Xiao Mingche turned his head, lowered his eyebrows and stared at her silently, as if he was restraining something.
Li Fengming was a little confused: "What do you mean by looking at me like this?" ”
Xiao Mingche let out a puzzling snort and looked away from her.
"Xiao Mingche, you ......"
"I believe you," he said, looking ahead and cutting her words in a whisper, "if you really want to help me with the medicine yourself, I reluctantly agree." Send someone else, no. ”
Li Fengming took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Then you take care of yourself, I don't care about you." It didn't hurt me anyway. ”
Listen to this is human words? What do you mean by "if you really want to help me take the medicine yourself"? What do you mean by "I reluctantly agree"?
I don't know how polite it is to ask for help, so I go while playing.
Halfway after that, the atmosphere between the two was obviously stiff, and no one paid attention to anyone.
After entering Changfeng Garden, Xiao Mingche went back to the bedroom alone, and his back looked unhappy.
Li Fengming snorted at his back, snatched the almond tea that Chun Yudai brought and held it in his palm.
"Chunyu, Xin Wei, follow me into the study."
After the three of them entered the study, Li Fengming also left behind the unhappiness that Xiao Mingche had provoked before.
She sipped the almond tea without taking a sip, and talked about today's things in detail, so that Chun Yudai, who was not present, understood the experience.
This is a habit that Li Fengming has developed for many years.
Although she acts wildly, she is measured, and if she dares to do it, she is sure.
But she also has a cautious side, and afterwards she always has to let the careful Chun Yudai help review it to see if there are any omissions, so as to wait for the opportunity to make up for it.
Xin Wei also added a few words from time to time, and asked a little uneasily at the end, "When the prince chased him out of the Purple Pole Garden, although he was talking to His Royal Highness King Huai, he glanced at His Highness several times. Will he know anything? ”
Li Fengming raised his eyes and looked at Chun Yudai, "What do you think?" ”
Chun Yudai said, "This marriage between the two countries was originally promoted by this prince, and it is obvious that the matter is related to his interests. After you were selected as a candidate for marriage, he may have secretly sent someone to Luodu to inquire. ”
Li Fengming nodded in agreement with her judgment.
Xin Wei breathed a long sigh of relief and put her mind at ease. "From the proposal to the determination of the marriage candidates, plus the preparation for the big wedding, it took more than two years before and after. Even if he sent someone to inquire at the beginning of the marriage, he would not be afraid. ”
Li Fengming pursed the sweet stains on his lips, as if he was talking about other people's business, "Two years is enough for Luo Du to arrange things well." Well, that's nothing to worry about. ”
Regarding her identity and experience, the part that was not written in the book of relatives and relatives, and which could be heard by Xiao Mingxuan, the prince of Qi, was nothing more than -
Li Fengming was selected as the prince of Wei since he was a child.
After the prince died of a sudden illness, she asked for a wake-up for a year, so the marriage was delayed.
"The prince had better know this," she smiled slyly, "and that way, no matter what I do, he won't find it too strange." Right? ”
Chun Yudai seconded with a light smile: "That's nature." Since childhood, he has been taught with the prince, and he should be outstanding in all aspects, and he should also have extraordinary courage and courage. It is human nature to have a bigger temper and be more flamboyant in words and deeds. ”
"So be it, leave him alone." Li Fengming put down the cup and clapped his hands comfortably.
"I'll go back to Yongjing City in half a month, and I'll get ready for the two of you before."
Chun Yudai replied seriously: "The recipes are all in the dowry, and they will be available when they return to the Huaiwang Mansion for a little tidying." There is no worry about raw materials, Qi is prosperous in business, as long as you are willing to spend money, everything produced in various countries can be purchased from the Yongjing area. ”
Buyers are not a problem.
These days, Chun Yu Dai has been sorting out the list of ladies and ladies in Yongjing, and every time Li Fengming looks at the list, his eyes will smile into a glittering ingot.
"The only trouble is the shopkeeper and the workshop," Chun Yudai reminded, "In order to avoid the outflow of recipes, the shopkeeper and the workshop must be reliable." I think about it, Your Highness may still borrow the manpower and workshop of the Huai Wangfu to be the safest. ”
Xin Wei sneered, "It's over, it's over." On the way back, His Royal Highness gave King Huai a look. ”
Chun Yudai spread her hands when she heard this, and she had nothing to say.
"Who made his dog mouth spit out ivory," Li Fengming muttered in annoyance, "I don't know how to politely say the word 'please' if I want to ask someone." ”
When Li Fengming entered the bedroom, he found that the bed tent had not been put down.
Xiao Mingche had changed into a clean middle coat and was lying on the bed with his face outward, not covered with a quilt.
Although the bedroom is warmed by the earth dragon, it will still be cold if you don't cover the quilt in the evening on such a snowy day.
He didn't cover it, thinking because the thorns on his back had not been removed, and he hadn't taken any medicine, so it would hurt if the cover was crushed.
Li Fengming pouted silently, feeling a little uncomfortable.
It is not easy for the unfavored imperial heir to survive, and it is not surprising that he is defensive. But being cautious like this, after being injured, I would rather carry it alive than let someone I don't trust get close, and I must have suffered a lot of losses when I was a child.
Seeing Qian Zhaoyi today, Li Fengming determined that Xiao Mingche's appearance should be more like his mother.
But he is cold and unwavering on weekdays, although he is delicate and handsome, he lacks the taste of a living person.
At this moment, he was lying quietly on the pillow, unloading all his defenses, and his whole face was beautiful and fragile under the light, which made people's hearts tremble.
Inexplicably, Li Fengming couldn't bear to worry about anything with him anymore.
She lit the lamp on the candelabra and sat down on the edge of the bed.
Seeing that Xiao Mingche didn't move, didn't say a word, and didn't open her eyes, she smiled softly, "Still pretending?" When I turn over at night, I accidentally get close to you an inch, and you will wake up immediately. ”
After all, we've been sharing the same bed for half a month, who doesn't know who?
The old bottom was exposed so worn, Xiao Mingche lazily opened one eye, "What are you doing?" ”
Li Fengming shook his hand with the ointment and fine needles.
"I'm going to drug you. If the thorns are not picked out in time, they will grow into the flesh tomorrow. ”
"Didn't you say you didn't care about me?" Xiao Mingche closed her eyes again and returned her original words in an indifferent tone.
Li Fengming was so stunned that he couldn't wait to slap him on the back and run it over again! Don't make him cry and don't stop!
It's a pity that she can only think about it.
After all, now she has a request for the other party, and she has to bow her head for the sake of Jin Cancan's wealth.
"How can you take it seriously if you are angry? The two of us are now one in one interest, and of course I have to take care of your affairs. ”
Seeing that he didn't move, Li Fengming continued to coax patiently.
"Besides, you and I are still husband and wife in name, if you are hurt, I don't care, how can I explain it? I still have to be human. Be good, get up, and take off your clothes yourself. ”
made people take off their clothes, but said it so calmly, worthy of Li Fengming.
Xiao Mingche's ears were red to the bone, and his face was stuffy in the pillow for a long time before he sat up reflexively.
With a pair of red ears, he still has to be cold-eyed, "It's not necessary." It didn't hurt you anyway. ”
and struck her in the face with what she had said.
Li Fengming secretly gritted his teeth, suppressed his impatient anger, and quickly hung up a fake smile that was soft and sweet enough to wring out honey, so flattering that it could be called pretentious.
"Oh, it's all angry, why do you always mention it? It hurts you, although it doesn't hurt me, but it hurts in my heart. ”
Before the words fell, Xiao Mingche raised his hand and pulled it violently, and half of the bed tent fell, just between him and Li Fengming.
"Clever words, either treachery or theft."
Li Fengming's patience ran out, and his sweet smile had turned into murder.
"It's just you! Hurry up and undress! I promise not to rape you or steal you, but only to help ......."
"Shut up!"
was yelled at by him like this, and Li Fengming realized that he seemed to have said something inappropriate.
So he pinched his ears in embarrassment, and muttered to his feet, "Since you don't want me to help, then I'll put the medicine here." You—you can figure it out for yourself. ”
"Didn't say no."
With these cold and sullen words, there was a sound of squirming and undressing behind half of the bed tent.
Li Fengming fanned his hot cheeks with his hand and looked at Fang Liang with white eyes.
Wouldn't it be nice to be so happy? Tut.
