Chapter 63: Undercurrent 2
Hongling sat in the hall with her legs folded, her hands couldn't stop knocking on the table, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't ignore the memory of the letter in her heart, Xiuxiu bent down and opened the incense burner, lit a sandalwood incense, the incense mist spread out, and the breath was very calming. Hongling turned sideways slightly and nodded in the direction of Xiuxiu, seeing that Hongling was a little calmer because of this, Xiuxiu bent the corner of her eyes with relief, straightened the lid of the incense burner, and slowly withdrew from the hall.
The sun was getting higher and higher, and the people in the courtyard were scattered to the shade, and only the horseman from the heavenly spectrum was alone with a few small stools spread out and slept in the middle of the courtyard.
"Huh! Why don't you go back to your room and go to sleep? ”
The groom squinted at the swaggering little man in front of him, "It's not your business"
"Hmph, it's just a groom who can't be in the sky, what is there to be proud of!"
The groom suddenly turned over and sat up, staring at the little family in front of him with a cold face, the little family was so frightened that his ankle was weak and he took half a step back, only to see the horse groom snort contemptuously and stabbed him with a dagger......
"Is there anything else you want to say?"
The dagger was close to his neck, and the cold light suddenly rose, and the little family was tightly fixed between his arms by the groom, and he didn't care where he slept, and he was already in a state of flesh beating.
"The little one disturbed the dream of the strong man, and the villain knew that he was wrong......"
The groom then waved his hand and kicked away the little familyman, and the family ran away with his hands and feet, muttering in fear: Xie Zhuangshi and the villain will retreat. Mafu put the dagger into his cuffs, lay back on the stool slowly, and slowly closed his eyes......
In the afternoon, Hongling woke up after a nap and wanted to go to the back garden to visit, this palace is really boring, except for the garden behind the house, there is no other place to go. As soon as he turned into the Octagonal Pavilion, he heard the laughter of Chen Jinye and Ye Xiaohan faintly in front of him, paused, glanced at the source of the sound, and sighed silently in his heart how he met Chen Jinye again, and was about to turn around and leave.
Hong Ling suddenly turned around and startled Xiao Qing, who was following closely behind, only to see Xiao Qing take a few steps back and fall at her feet, making a lot of movement, Hong Ling bit her lip helplessly and sighed, before Xiao Qing got up from the ground, Chen Jinye and Ye Xiaohan had already appeared behind her.
"Sister, why are you here, the concubine just happened to meet my sister here with Her Royal Highness, it's really fate"
The speaker had no intention of listening, Hong Ling only thought that she was secretly sarcastic that she was chasing Chen Jinye tightly, so she turned around and smiled: "It's a coincidence, seeing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his sister talking happily, I probably don't want to be disturbed by the people next to me, I happened to have something to do and took the first step", after saying that, he turned around and planned to leave, but before Hong Ling stepped out, Chen Jinye said appropriately: "It's all a family, what's the bother."
Hong Ling's triumphant smile froze for a moment, and slowly turned around to look at the two, Ye Xiaohan quickly answered: "Yes, yes, if my sister doesn't dislike it, let's also try the dim sum made by the concubine for His Royal Highness."
Having said this, Hongling couldn't refuse, but seeing that Ye Xiaohan was harmless and emphasizing 'the dim sum made for His Royal Highness the Prince', she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, and she had no choice but to eat a piece of 'dim sum' with her cheeks.
Hongling had no intention of this kind of party, and she didn't want to participate too much in the interaction between them, so she sat aside, listening to the laughter of the two, Chen Jinye actually laughed a few times cheerfully, and sure enough, it was strange that the gentle beauty was uncomfortable on the side.
Hongling silently felt worthless for Yu Fangfei in her heart, every time she saw Chen Jinye close to someone in the past two months, that person must be Yu Fangfei, so that she almost forgot the existence of this Ye Xiaohan. I still think that Chen Jinye is different from other men with three wives and four concubines, but now that I think about it, it seems that when he made a contract with himself at that time, he did say that the cooperation between the two of us was only for the Luo family, and the other two were to be protected.
Hongling was sighing secretly, and Chen Jinye turned the finger at himself as soon as he turned his words: "Hey, Ling'er is so silent today, but it's no wonder that King Ben has snubbed you recently?" ”。
Before Hongling could react to why she suddenly had her own business, Chen Jinye said ambiguously: "Okay, it's time for this king to go to your place."
Hong Ling looked surprised, and when she came back to her senses, Ye Xiaohan had already walked away alone at some point, "What do you mean by this, Lord Wang?" I think it's already clear in our contract, and besides, don't you have to worry about the Ye family? ”。
Chen Jinye walked in front of Hongling's courtyard without looking back, "This is the third demand that this king has for you this month."
Hongling ran to Chen Jinye in disbelief and stopped him, "Our agreement is very clear, without my consent, you can't."
"What can't be?"
Seeing that Hongling's little face was embarrassed and red, staring at him with a wave of eyes, Chen Jinye looked back at Hongling quite funny, "Don't speak?" Don't go quickly", said and took care to pull up Hongling. The moment Hongling's hand was held, she felt as if a wisp of electricity was rushing straight up, except for a burst of numbness and crispiness, there was no other feeling, and she was led by Chen Jinye all the way in a daze, and when she reached Hongling's courtyard, Hongling came to her senses from her stunned state.
Hongling quickly withdrew her hand, and Chen Jinye immediately turned around, only to see her looking at herself with an angry face, "Why is Ling'er looking at this king like this?" ”
"I said no! We've got it in the contract! ”
Chen Jinye frowned slowly, "It's just a pot of tea, I didn't expect Ling'er to be so stingy."
Hong Ling was stunned, "A pot of tea? ”
"Otherwise, what does Ling'er think?"
Looking at Chen Jinye's blank face, Hongling's eyelashes shook unguardedly, slightly staggered Chen Jinye's questioning eyes, cleared her throat coldly, raised her eyelids and glanced at him quickly, and then strode quickly past Chen Jinye's entrance.
After stepping into the threshold, he looked back at Chen Jinye under the steps, "Aren't you going to drink tea?" Why don't you come soon? ”。
Chen Jinye, who succeeded, immediately hooked the corners of her mouth, and her panicked and embarrassed appearance was really funny, interesting......
After a morning of sleeping in the sun, the groom stretched his neck comfortably, and although the servants muttered a lot of gossip about him, they did not dare to come forward, and the morning's events had already spread among the people.
About in the afternoon, the groom quietly took out an envelope from his luggage and put it in his arms, his expression could not see the joy and anger, and then he drove out of the courtyard with ease.
The people in the palace of the prince of Nanzhao thought that the horseman was just sleeping in the courtyard in the morning and was resting well, but in addition, he also heard a lot of useful news, for example, the courtyard of the crown princess was in the westernmost part of the courtyard......
"Satisfied?"
Hong Ling raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Jinye, who was very happy after drinking tea in front of him, he held his chin in one hand, played with the teacup with the other, and looked at Hong Ling with a slightly confused look.
"Ling'er's kung fu in making tea is wonderful"
The corners of Hong Ling's mouth curled slightly, and she snorted calmly, although she was interested in learning a little tea art in high school, but if it weren't for the fact that the owner of this body was good at tea arts, with her own little fur knowledge, she would be far from being able to brew such a taste.
"But this king is still curious, when he was in the Octagonal Pavilion and outside the courtyard gate, what did Ling'er mean by 'no'?"
I thought that this matter would be just brought over, but who knew that Chen Jinye had the tea that he had been thinking about but did not forget to mention it again, Hongling coldly looked at Chen Jinye's playful eyes, and rolled her eyes unabashedly.
"The prince was so attached to the Yu family, but today he has a close relationship with the Ye family, thinking that the prince wants to involve me, just thinking that I have always been good friends with the Yu family and has a bad relationship with the Luo family, if I have something to do with the Ye family again, I will always deal with the fatigue, and then they will ease up and deal with me together, then I am afraid that my little life will be explained here in advance."
Chen Jinye's thick eyebrows stretched slightly, smiled as if nothing, and filled the empty teacup in front of him again and again, Hongling saw that he was interested and no longer talked, and his heart was a little relaxed, so he looked back at the tower tree flower on the cabinet, which had bloomed for more than two months, and was still as fragrant and delicate as ever......
As soon as the groom arrived at the gate of the Hongling courtyard, he keenly smelled the fragrance of this flower, and his heart was full of doubts, so he went around to a hidden and uninhabited corner, and jumped up while there was no one around, and after a few jumps, he quietly fell on the roof, and the image of the roof in the day will be particularly eye-catching, and the groom can only move inch by inch against the eaves, without making any small sound.
Gently lifted a gap in the roof tiles, and sure enough, Chen Jinye, the prince of Nanzhao, sat in the hall, and couldn't help but sweat in his heart, fortunately he didn't enter the room in a grand manner, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable, but the strong sweetness here was worse than outside the courtyard.
"Ling'er loves this tower tree flower so much, the queen mother has to show a lot on her birthday, and she has won the favor of the queen mother, I can help you ask for a few more pots."
"The Queen's birthday?"
"Yes, it's just a few days."
Hong Ling twisted her eyebrows lightly and bit her lower lip, and asked suspiciously, "Why hasn't anyone told me about this?" ”
Chen Jinye was just about to speak, when he saw a small guy hurriedly running in and saying something in his ear, he suddenly got up with a solemn expression, and said goodbye to Hongling, and did not forget to carry the whole pot of tea made by Hongling when he left.
When Chen Jinye came out of the door of Hongling's courtyard, the horseman saw the opportunity and went down, and quickly entered the hall and brought the door, Hongling was startled by the coarse cloth man who suddenly appeared in front of him, so he quickly stood up and asked harshly: "Who are you!" ”。
The groom then knelt down on one knee, "Qi Yu Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Pu has a letter for you", and then presented the letter in his arms with both hands.
What's the envelope? Hong Lingmu took it and took it apart......
