Chapter 229: Jealousy
Pick up the star building.
Yuwen Jinghuai yawned, looked at Chu Yue'an and Lu Youming in front of him, supported his chin with one hand, and asked, "What is the matter with the two of you seeing this king?" ”
He wanted to see Chu Yue'an, an ugly girl, but he didn't expect that she still had a girl by her side, this girl's eyes looked at his eyes, with his understanding of women, how could he not guess her thoughts?
Chu Yue'an, this girl has always been clever, she won't know Lu Youming's thoughts, since she brought her over, it means that she doesn't care that other women covet her.
His eyes narrowed, and his expression became even more impatient, this ugly girl, really didn't mean anything to herself?
"When you sent troops to protect Xiao Qi last time, I wanted to thank you." Chu Yue'an said, "This is my cousin Lu Youming, do you remember?" You helped her out of the siege when she came to the capital last time, so she wants to thank you again. ”
Seeing Yuwen Jinghuai again, Lu Youming's face was slightly red: "When I came to the capital last time, I was really ignorant, and I got into trouble, and I was able to survive thanks to the help of the prince." After going back, I have been relieved of the prince's kindness, so this time I came to the capital, no matter how I came, I had to thank the prince! ”
"It's just a little thing, don't worry about it." Yuwen Jinghuai said lightly, on weekdays, he wanted to tease the little girl, but now, he really didn't have this mood, he was very dissatisfied with Chu Yue'an, an ungrateful ugly girl!
Lu Youming saw Yuwen Jinghuai's cold expression, and his heart sank, didn't he say that His Royal Highness likes beauty? Is he not interested in himself at all?
"It's you, Miss Chu Er, you thank this king for others, don't you have a place to thank this king?" Yuwen Jinghuai glanced at Chu Yue'an and said playfully.
"Why should I thank you?" Chu Yue'an frowned.
"I have no conscience, why did this king help you more than once? Every time you need this king, you behave like a cat, and you feel that this king is useless and cold like an ice sculpture, do you have two faces for anyone? Or is it just for the king? Yuwen Jinghuai touched his chin, "This king warns you, if you have this face again, you will have something to do next time, don't come to this king." ”
"Do I have one?" Chu Yue'an frowned, "I have always kept His Highness's help to me in mind. ”
Lu Youming's heart sank, she could clearly feel that King Chu's attitude towards herself and his second cousin was different, could it be that King Chu liked his second cousin?
Before she came here, she heard that her second cousin was different from before, she had become more beautiful, and she had always had a faint disdain in her heart, no matter how beautiful she was, how beautiful could she be? When she saw Chu Yue'an again, she was indeed dazzled, but she didn't really feel the charm of this beauty, knowing that she was just right, she really felt that the second cousin was indeed thrilling in beauty now, and even surpassed the third cousin.
An uncontrollable jealousy surged in his heart, Lu Youming looked at Chu Yue'an, who was talking freely with the King of Chu, and faintly felt a sense of hatred, how could the person who was once so embarrassed and cowardly now shine and be able to talk and laugh with the King of Chu.
Chu Yue'an didn't notice the change in Lu Youming, and the familiarity between her and the King of Chu made her already regard the other party as a friend who could casually hate each other, and some of the methods of the King of Chu definitely moved her, but for her, the King of Chu was just the King of Chu, a friend of hers. And she also thinks in her heart that this guy must also be more tricky of herself.
"By the way, how is the aftermath of the dragon boat race?" Chu Yue'an asked.
"The people who were killed and injured will be compensated, these are small things." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "The real trouble comes from the public opinion of the people, the dragon boat race has been going smoothly every year for the past 100 years, but this year something strange happened, many people think that this is God's blame, but it doesn't matter, the court will always find a way to calm public opinion." ”
"I shouldn't be concerned about these things." Chu Yue'an said, "Fortunately, nothing happened to the two highnesses this time, otherwise I am afraid that it will be difficult to end." ”
"Whoever makes them love to join in the fun, it's good to let them learn a long lesson this time." Yuwen Jinghuai said, "Drinking? This king has twenty years of flower carvings here, you can taste it. ”
After eating with the King of Chu, Chu Yue'an and Lu Youming took a carriage back to the Hou Mansion together.
Lu Youming looked at Chu Yue'an, was silent for a moment and said, "Second cousin, does His Royal Highness the King of Chu like you?" ”
Chu Yue paused for a moment, and then smiled: "There is no such thing." ”
"But I think he's very special to his second cousin." Lu Youming said, "Doesn't the second cousin like him?" ”
"I don't like it." Chu Yuean said categorically, "I'm just friends with him, and there is no love between men and women." ”
If she is really the child of King Qin, then she is a brother and sister with Yuwen Jinghuai, how can there be a relationship between men and women?
"Really?" Lu Youming didn't believe it, and he was still very uncomfortable in his heart.
Back at the Hou Mansion, Lu Youming returned to Xia Heyuan with a gloomy face, Chu Li noticed his daughter's low mood and asked, "Didn't you go to see King Chu?" Did something happen? ”
"King Chu is not interested in me, he is not willing to say a word to me, the person he is interested in is the second cousin." Lu Youming said coldly, "Why, why is she!" ”
"Chu Yue'an?" Chu Li's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then he smiled, "Chu Yue'an is absolutely impossible. ”
"Why?" Lu Youming was puzzled why his mother's attitude was so determined.
"This involves a piece of the Hou Mansion's past, you don't have to know about it." Chu Li smiled coldly, "You need to remember one thing, that is, it is impossible for Chu Yuean to marry anyone from the Heavenly Family. ”
Lu Youming lowered his eyes and sighed: "Even though she can't marry anyone from the Heavenly Family, I can marry without me." ”
Chu Li touched his daughter's hair and said, "Marrying into the heavenly family may not be a good thing, right now you can die to the king of Chu?" Marrying into the duke's family is not a good choice, daughter, you can rest assured, I will definitely choose a husband's family for you, and I will not wronged you for your father's affairs, that is the happiness of the rest of your life. ”
The Mansion of the State of Qi.
Qi Yuzhi, who had been imprisoned for a while, finally got rid of the crazy longing for Chu Yuezi before, but because of the sequelae of Wushisan, his memory was also damaged, and he couldn't concentrate on studying.
He hated Chu Yuezi again, this vicious woman actually wanted to destroy him, if he met her, he would definitely not let her go!
"Goyuki."
Hearing the familiar voice, Qi Yuzhi turned around, and sure enough, he saw that the county lord of Minzhi was coming, and he didn't know why he had an unspeakable disgust in his heart for this county lord, but his future was tied to her, and he could only play on the spot.
However, he didn't expect that this woman would ruin both the Zhao family and the Jade Concubine, I don't know if she would be targeted by King Yu, and whether she who had a relationship with her would become a thorn in King Yu's side? This made him hesitate to continue his relationship with Lord Minzhi.
"Minzhi, you're here." Qi Yuzhi put down the book in his hand and smiled.
"You look much better." Lord Minzhi smiled, "It should have recovered now, right?" ”
"Big brother doesn't hold me anymore, it shouldn't be a big deal." Qi Yuzhi said, "I really want to thank you well, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would have been ruined a long time ago." ”
"Yours is my people, and I won't let anyone ruin yours." Lord Minzhi said, "It's a pity that this time it only involved Concubine Yu and the Zhao family recently, and Chu Yuezi retreated." She actually wants to destroy you, I will never let her go, Yuyuki, you shouldn't feel distressed now, right? ”
"How is that possible?" Qi Yuzhi said in a cold voice, "I can't wait to kill that vicious woman with my own hands now, how can I still feel distressed?" ”
"That's good." Lord Minzhi smiled, "Miyuki, I'll think about you again, don't let me down again this time!" By the way, your body is almost recovered now, and it's time to go to the yamen to report, your father has already prepared a position for you, and if you make achievements earlier, we can get married as soon as possible. ”
Qi Yuzhi held Minzhi's hand and said affectionately: "Don't worry, I won't let you down again this time." ”
"You've been in the Guogong Mansion for a long time, let's go out and breathe." Lord Minzhi said, "We may not have had a meal together in a long time. ”
Qi Yuzhi cleaned up a little, and went out with the county lord of Minzhi, but he didn't expect to meet Qi Yujing, he saw that Qi Yuzhi and the county lord of Minzhi were now reconciled as before, and his younger brother's body was also recovered, but he was quite happy: "I have seen the county lord, are you going out?" ”
"What's the matter with you?" Lord Minzhi said lightly, she has always been hostile to Qi Yujing, the person who robbed her of her man's resources. As long as he is removed, everything in the Qi State Mansion belongs to the Imperial Palace, right? This person is just an eyesore, but he still pretends to be concerned, which makes people feel very unhappy.
"I haven't been out in a long time and want to go out for a walk." Qi Yuzhi said, "If the eldest brother is fine, do you want to be together?" ”
"I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother you." Qi Yujing said, "Don't come back too late, the capital is not so peaceful right now." ”
"Got it, big brother."
After walking away for a while, Lord Minzhi asked in a low voice, "Are you willing to be controlled by him like this?" Don't you want to be the only concubine of the Qi State Mansion? ”
"What did you say?"
"Nothing?" Lord Minzhi smiled, I will help you achieve it!
