Chapter 19: Listen to my quibbles
"My sister is really temperamental, and my sister appreciates it very much. However, Ji'er said something that shouldn't be said, my sister is now Brother Chen's side room, so she should think about the reputation of the palace and shouldn't do such things that are not in line with women's morality. β
Xiahou Ji stared at her, her eyes were sincere, and her words were sincere.
In Xu Chaodu's opinion, the appearance when she said this was very similar to Chang Xinghou.
She's heard enough of it all these years.
People float in the world for a lifetime, and everything they do is for fame, fortune and reputation.
Some people even do not hesitate to discard more sincere things for the sake of fame.
For example, her so-called "stepfather".
"I'm a faceless person, I don't care what my reputation is, if the prince cares, give me a letter of resignation as soon as possible, so as not to ruin the reputation of the palace because of my personal behavior in the future."
Xu Chaodui accentuated his tone, deliberately showing his arrogant and conceited side to the extreme.
"How can my sister be so indifferent to Brother Chen." Xiahou Xi's face changed slightly, and she was a little displeased.
She had a thought in her mind.
In front of her sweetheart, a woman will always try her best to show her beautiful and lovely side.
From this point of view, Xu Chaowan really doesn't like Brother Chen, otherwise how could he be so rude in front of Brother Chen.
"No wonder my wife and I were a natural pair. Madame doesn't care about fame, and neither do I. I appreciate something practical more than fame. β
Xiahou Xi: ?
That's not what you said!
A trace of displeasure turned into a meteor in her heart, she got up, and only three points were revealed on her face because of the seven grievances in her heart, and her just right little appearance was pitiful.
The sweet voice also wilted like a trampled flower: "Brother Chen, Ji'er suddenly feels unwell, so I won't bother." β
When Xiahou Ji got up, the thing she was wearing on her waist made a crisp jingle sound, and Xu Chaodu's eyes stared straight at it.
The string of gold-depicted silver bells stood out in the sunlight, and the turquoise that melted into the knots reflected a faint light.
"Miss Xiahouβ" Xu Chao stood up at dusk, staring at the hollow silver bell, and said in a deep voice: "The waist accessories are good." β
Xiahou Ji followed her gaze and glanced down, and there was a hint of pride in her usual tone: "Sister said this, this is given to her by Brother Chen." β
Suddenly, Li Hanchen only felt a cold gaze sweeping towards him.
Xu Chaowan didn't say a word, and reached out to take the bell on his waist.
"What does my sister do?" The delicate hand pressed against the back of her hand, and her tone was visibly dissatisfied.
Meeting those bright eyes, her expression was calm: "This is mine." β
Xiahou Ji frowned slightly: "How can this be my sister's, this is obviously given to my sister by Brother Chen." β
Li Hanchen felt frosty gaze again.
"This is mine." A faint voice.
Xu Chaowan grabbed the bell and didn't let go, Xiahou Ji was a little overwhelmed, and turned her gaze to Li Hanchen: "Brother Achen-"
Li Hanchen gathered the dark pattern wide sleeves, got up and held the girl's wrist, and was a little unreasonable: "This is indeed not Dusk'er's bell, how can I give Twilight's things to others?" If you have something to say, let go first, be good. β
"What did you say?"
Facing the girl's cold inquiry, Li Hanchen coughed lightly, and whispered in her ear: "I will explain to you when I go back to the room for my husband, let go first." β
The distance between the two was only an inch, and the faint fragrance drifted into his nose with the wind, and Xu Chaowan pushed him away.
Li Hanchen pursed his lips, it's over.
Seeing that the two were intimate, Xiahou Ji shook his hand and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Hanchen: "I'll send you back." β
She shook her head with a forced smile: "Don't bother Brother Achen, you can go back by yourself." β
"Nope." Li Hanchen turned his face away, and said seriously: "Since you didn't bring your maid and maidservant, and you are unwell, how can I rest assured that you will go back alone, besides, I have been entrusted by your brother to take care of you." β
These words made Xiahou Xi's originally cloudy mood suddenly disperse, and there were wisps of sunlight leaking down.
Li Hanchen looked at the girl who was as cold as frost, and couldn't help but reach out and rub the top of her soft head: "Because my husband knows that I am wrong, I will come back and beat you." β
β¦β¦
Xu Chaodui returned to Bang Chunju, sent the herbs down to rest, and locked himself in the room.
Vanilla stood alone on the stone steps outside the door, staring at the closed door, sighing slightly.
It seems that the master has been coaxed.
But in half an hour, Li Hanchen raised his feet and came to Bang Chunju.
He knocked on the door and asked tentatively, "Madame, may I come in?" β
Afraid that she would not agree, he added: "I'll be beaten." β
After knocking for a long time and no one answered, he pushed the door and walked in.
As soon as he closed the door, a blue figure rushed out and grabbed him by the hem of his shirt and pushed him against the door.
"Madame's mercyβ"
Li Hanchen let her lean against the door and bowed his head and begged for mercy.
"What my mother gave me, I gave it to you, why do you want to give it to others?"
The shoulder-level girl looked up at him, her jaw curved gracefully.
"Madame, listen to me cunning...... Explain that you will never give your things to others. β
He took out a Xuanpa from his arms and unfolded it, and the hollow silver bell that was exactly the same as Xiahou Xi's inside lay quietly inside.
"Madam, please see, this is the bell you gave to your husband, and your husband has always kept it safe."
"And what's going on with her bell?" The hand that grabbed the placket loosened a little.
"It's a long storyβ"
"Speak quickly!"
"Okay, okay, I say."
It turned out that Xiahou Xi's string of bells was only made by Li Hanchen according to his string.
When Li Hanchen was still in the barracks, Xiahou often rode to the barracks with maids dressed as men.
Although he misses his father and brother, the reason for Li Hanchen is still half.
One day, she got off the horse and ran to Li Hanchen's tent as soon as possible, only to see him staring at the cute bell in his hand and wandering, as if he was recalling something interesting, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
That's something that girls only use, how can Brother Achen have it?
She thought about it for a moment, and then she had an idea.
It can't be for her, right?
But the answer was not in line with what she thought, it was not for her.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, so she asked Li Han in a joking tone who he was for.
Li Hanchen only laughed and didn't say anything every time.
Xiahou said that she wanted the string of bells, but Li Hanchen refused.
What you can't get is always the best.
Since then, Xiahou Ji has used all kinds of coquettish means to ask Li Hanchen for a bell.
Li Hanchen was so entangled that he had no choice but to order someone to create this exactly the same bell for her, so that he could be quiet.
After Li Hanchen finished telling what happened in a few words, he didn't forget to joke Xu Chaodui: "Madame is very enthusiastic today. β
Xu Chaodui glanced at him, and when he let go and turned around, he felt that the sky was spinning, and then he was pulled into his broad chest by a force.
