Chapter 114: Bad Wine
April 1, 528 at 10:30 a.m
Xiang Risong asked for leave, and waited at home with Hongying for the Mofeili royal family to send someone to pick up Hongying. Marshall was busy selecting ingredients, tableware, and everything from early in the morning at the Rose Hotel.
Today is not only Hongying's engagement banquet, but also the day of the opening ceremony of each college. Xiao Yaya and Meng Tianxing went to the academy early.
Hongying sat calmly on the sofa, looking out the window with a little blank eyes.
Xiang Risong looked at Hongying and said, "Hongying, are you okay?" ”
Hongying shook her head and didn't speak.
Xiang Himatsu was also silent. Until Mo Feili's honor guard arrived at the house, Xiang Risong and Hongying did not speak.
The maids walked into the gate of the castle with the gowns that Hongying needed to wear at the banquet, and Xiang Risong stood up and looked at them: "You are here. ”
The maid bowed her head and said, "Please let us change into a dress for the young lady." ”
Hongying stood up: "You all come up with me." ”
The maids followed Hongying upstairs and into the room. The maids helped Hongying change into gorgeous golden gowns, and her long hair was coiled up and tied with ribbons under the skillful hands of the maids.
The huge gemstone necklace hung from her white neck, and Hongying could feel her weight. Looking at the matching gemstone earrings, Hongying looked at the maid in a panic: "I don't think I need to wear these earrings." ”
"Yes."
Hongying stepped on the high root shoes, and slowly went downstairs with the support of the maids.
Xiang Risong looked at Hongying, and he was a little stunned.
Hongying got into the carriage accompanied by Xiang Risong, and seeing that there were still onlookers on the side of the road, Hongying smiled at them, and then waved lightly. Xiang Risong sat next to Hongying, still looking at Hongying with some worry.
The mighty guard of honor sent the glittering red glow into the Rose Restaurant.
Prince Fendi was dressed in a very formal red suit, and he stood at the door of the Rose Restaurant, looking at Hongying intently, and the smile on his face looked really happy. The king and the other princesses also stood at the door of the Rose Dining Room and watched them.
Prince Fendi ran under the carriage and walked out of the carriage with his own hands.
Prince Fendi led the red glow towards the Rose Restaurant.
Hongying whispered, "You look like you're happy." ”
Fendi nodded: "That's right, just look happy." ”
Hongying took a deep breath, and her apple muscles strained slightly, making herself smile beautifully: "Do I look happy?" ”
Fendi looked at Hongying and was a little distracted: "You look really beautiful today." ”
"Do you think just complimenting me makes me happy?"
Fendi pursed her lips and tried to smile, "I'm sorry. ”
Hongying hypnotized herself: I must play this role well today, I must pretend, and I also need to use my identity to protect the people I love.
Hongying took Fendi's hand: "You don't have to apologize, it's not your fault." I'll try. ”
In the eyes of outsiders, Hongying and Fendi seem to be so compatible.
At the engagement banquet, Hongying smiled hard and hypnotized herself, and Hongying didn't hear anything about what the king said at the banquet. It's always buzzing in my head.
Several new nobles asked Fendi and Hongying to toast, and Hongying put down the empty wine glass in her hand, picked up a glass of drink next to her, and drank it. After a while, sleepiness and dizziness suddenly invaded Hongying's brain like a storm.
Fendi looked at the glazed red glow: "Red glow, what's wrong with you?" ”
Hongying shook her head: "Probably because I didn't sleep well last night, and now I'm a little dizzy." ”
Fendi watched as Hongying's face turned red little by little, and Fendi touched it with the back of her hand, and it was hot.
Fendi took the red glass and sniffed it, it was super strong wine.
Fendi pulled Hongying aside, "Are you alright?" ”
Hongying was already drunk, her eyes were staring at Fendi, and she showed a somewhat evil smile: "Haha, I'm fine." ”
When Hongying spoke, she could not control the sparks from her mouth.
Fendi hurriedly pulled Hongying and walked to Xiang Risong's side.
"Xiang Risong, Hongying drank that spirit, got drunk, and now it's all starting to breathe fire. You take her away first, and I'll talk to my father, and then I'll rush over." As soon as Fendi was in a hurry, the speed of his speech became very fast.
Fendi approached King Billy and said, "Red Ying is drunk, I have to send her back." ”
"It's okay, let her lie down in the palace for a while."
Fendi said with some concern: "I'm worried that she will burn the palace again." ”
King Billy replied decisively, "Okay, you go and take care of Hongying." ”
Xiang Risong drove the carriage and let Hongying lie behind. Red Ying was muttering something as she spewed fireballs.
Xiang Risong sighed helplessly: "My little Hongying, why is your wine still so bad?" Ah. ”
Fendi hurriedly caught up with Xiang Sunsong's carriage, and Fendi watched Hongying lying on the back seat of the carriage on all fours.
Xiang Risong opened the door, and Fendi picked up the hot red screen and walked inside.
Xiang Risong looked at the fire that Hongying spewed out, worried that she would burn down her home.
Xiang Risong grabbed Fendi: "Fendi, just let Hongying lie here, I'm worried that the house will burn out of control when the time comes." Fendi nodded, placing the red glow on the ground.
Fendi and Xiang Risong looked at Hongying, who was sleeping on the ground, talking drunk from time to time, and shook their heads helplessly.
Xiang Risong felt a little distressed: "Hongying needs to vent well." ”
"I'm here watching Hongying, you go get some water. It wouldn't be good if you burned down such a nice patio as your house. ”
"Also, safety is more important."
Just a few minutes before Xiang Himatsu went to fetch water, there was already a fire in the courtyard.
Xiang Himatsu hurriedly ran to the courtyard and saw that Hongying had already burned, and at the same time a spark came out of the ground.
Xiang Risong sighed deeply: "All wishes come true, please help me move all the shrubs in my family's yard that have not burned to Rose Ridge." ”
The shrubs and flowers in the courtyard of the Mukaimatsu family were removed, and only a meadow remained.
Fendi stepped back to Xiang Risong's side: "In the future, we must not let Hongying touch alcohol-like things." It's horrible. ”
Xiang Risong looked at Fendi: "She's still a child, how can you make her drink?" ”
Fendi hung her head: "At the beginning, Hongying's cup was filled with wine-flavored drinks. Maybe she finished drinking, so she took a glass casually. It's all to blame for not noticing. ”
"She's fire magic, and it burns even more when she touches alcohol. I prayed that the wind would not blow. ”
Xiang Risong, the crow's mouth, just said this, and the wind began to blow.
Fendi glanced at Xiang Sunsong, "You crow's mouth." ”
Xiang Risong had no choice but to use wind magic to surround Hongying.
After a long time, Xiang Risong felt tired. He asked Fendi, "You're here to help, too." ”
Himatsu stopped, and Fendi continued. Fendi uses a large metal basin to hold the red glow inside, only to discover that her magic is melting in the heat of the red glow.
"Can I put out the fire with a lid?"
"You want to suffocate Hongying too!" Hinatal glared at Fendi.
Fendi scratched her head, "yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”
Xiang Risong and Fendi took turns wrapping the red glow and preventing Mars from flying anywhere.
Xiang Risong moved two chairs, and Fendi guarded the red screen on the left and right.
In this way, the red screen burned from noon to afternoon, and from afternoon to night.
Xiang Himatsu and Fendi collapsed in their chairs from exhaustion, and the two of them looked at each other, crying and laughing.
In the evening, it began to rain in the sky, and the spring rain finally fell.
"The first rain of the year! What a timely rain! "Xiang Himatsu was about to be moved to tears.
Fendi took a breath and watched as the flames on Hongying's body slowly faded.
Fendi walked over and patted Hongying's wet face: "Hongying? Red Glow? Are you awake? ”
Red Ying opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Fendi: "Fendi? It's raining? ”
"I ask you, how do you feel now?"
"I feel soft on my body. I don't have any strength at all. Red Glows collapsed limply on top of Fendi.
Hongying looked down at her body: "It seems to be getting smaller again." What's wrong with me? ”
Fendi picked up Hongying, and Hongying became a lot lighter. Fendi said, "You drank too much and then you went crazy and almost burned down your house." ”
Hongying looked at Fendi: "Isn't it, I'm going to get drunk?" ”
"yes, you think you're a fire-breathing dragon."
Xiang Risong looked at Hongying: "You little guy, why don't you drink if you don't know how to drink!" ”
Hongying pouted: "How do I know it's wine." I thought it was a drink. ”
Fendi glanced at Xiang Risong: "Don't talk about Hongying, you see she has no strength at all now." ”
Xiang Risong said: "I'll let Aunt Tang come here, it's not convenient for us to take care of Hongying now." ”
"Yes, yes."
Fendi lays Hongying on the couch, and Hongying has no strength to sleep.
Xiang Risong took two bath towels and wrapped them around Hongying's body.
Xiang Risong hurriedly contacted Xihaitang, and after a while, Xihaitang rushed over.
Xihaitang carried Hongying back to the room, helped Hongying change out of wet clothes, and dried her body.
Hongying looked at Xihaitang: "Aunt Tang, thank you." ”
"You, you, what's going on? Komatsu just said that something happened to you, let me come and take care of you. ”
"I just drank at the engagement feast, and then I don't remember anything."
"I see that all the plants in the courtyard are gone, did you burn them?" Xihaitang looked at Hongying and smiled.
"Maybe, I saw my brother and Fendi guarding me there, probably really worried that I would burn down the house."
Xihaitang touched the fleshy face of the red ying: "Do you have something unhappy in your heart that you want to vent?" ”
Hongying's eyes drooped.
Xihaitang rubbed Hongying's hands: "It's okay, you don't want to say it, and I won't force you to say it." But there are some things that have been held in my heart, and it must be very uncomfortable. ”
Hongying looked at Xihaitang: "Aunt Tang, I'm actually in pain. But I know that no matter how sad and sad I am, no matter how much I cry, this is not the solution to the problem. I love him, I love him. ”
Hongying didn't have the strength to disguise herself anymore, and the tears in her eyes kept flowing out: "My little parting allowed Tianyu to return to his home, have you seen that he is now full of vitality and confidence, and he can communicate with his father well." I'm by his side, I can't do anything. But my departure allowed him to get everything he wanted. ”
Hongying pouted and kept crying.
Xihaitang leaned down and hugged Hongying: "You understand the truth, you are a very sensible child." So cry out loud, crying out will make you feel better. ”
Hongying raised her hand and hugged Xihaitang: "Aunt Tang, thank you for talking to me." ”
Xihaitang patted Hongying's back: "Your sensibility makes me feel so distressed." It's going to get better, and life has to go on, doesn't it? ”
"Yes, I still have my brother, and I need to protect him."
"I know you're sensible, but sometimes you'll feel better if you're a little wayward." Xihaitang covered the quilt with Hongying, "Sleep well, tomorrow is another day." I'm leaving. ”
"Well, goodbye Aunt Tang."
Begonia walked out of the room and looked at Xiang Risong and Fendi standing in the doorway.
Xihaitang closed the door and pulled them downstairs: "What are you doing?" Also eavesdropping. ”
Xiang Risong asked, "Did Xiao Hongying tell you something?" ”
"It's just that the little girl needs to vent and cry. She's going to be fine, you all know she's sensible. ”
Fendi sat on the couch: "Blame me for not being able to stop my father." ”
"I think you're selfish." Xiang Risong looked at Fendi.
"What selfish motives do I have?"
"Obviously, you like Hongying, so I want to take this opportunity to be with her. You know, she's not going to like you. Xiang Risong said.
Xihaitang waved his hand: "I still have something to do, I'll go first." ”
After sending Xihaitang away, Xiang Risong turned his head and continued to stare at Fendi.
Fendi sighed, "Yes! I'll admit that I like Hongying, but there's really nothing I can do to stop my father, but at the very least, I can guarantee that I won't do anything to hurt her. ”
"You dare to touch her!" Xiang Himatsu pointed at Fendi's nose.
Fendi sighed again: "You take good care of Hongying, I have to go back to the palace." ”
Xiang Himatsu sat on the couch and watched angrily as Fendi left.
Although Xiang Risong once thought that letting Hongying marry a good identity, at least Hongying's life would not have to be worried. So after hearing about Hongying's decision, the balance in Xiang Risong's heart, the pointer that was originally biased towards Tianyu slowly returned to the middle.
But seeing Hongying, she even had to rely on alcohol to vent. Thinking of the two days ago, Hongying pretended to be full of vitality, smiling every day and pretending that nothing happened, which made people feel distressed, Xiang Risong realized that his brother was too incompetent.
I actually let my sister trade her life's happiness for a stable life.
Hongying lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling in a daze, saying to herself over and over again: "This is good, very good!" Now everyone is fine, everyone will be fine, everyone will be safe. ”
Hongying slowly got up from the bed, climbed to the dresser step by step, opened the drawer, and took out the pair of gold bracelets from the drawer.
Hongying took them and muttered to herself: "I still remember, I once took them in a very magical store when I went shopping. Originally, Tian Yu was supposed to buy a gift for me that day, but a lot of things happened. ”
Hongying put a gold bracelet on her right hand: "It seems that I haven't taken it out and worn it since I brought you back." ”
Hongying took the other one and put it on her left hand, she crossed her hands and looked at it carefully: "It's pretty good." ”
When Hongying tried to take them down, she found that they didn't want to get off their hands. There was no way, so Hongying had to wear them all the time.
Hongying looked at the jewelry she had worn in the drawer, and she could recall the day she wore them, what she was wearing, and what Tianyu had done.
Hongying was trapped in her memories, a little unable to extricate herself. She lay on the dresser, silently weeping. When you get tired of crying, you won't have the strength to think about him anymore.
Hongying looked at her swollen eyes in the mirror and sighed, "I still miss you so much, Tianyu." ”
Hongying hugged the bear made of Tianyu at the head of the bed, lying on the bed and turning over. So she left her room with the bear in her arms, and looked at Xiang Risong sitting in the living room as if thinking about something. She secretly went downstairs and walked into Tianyu's original room.
In the past few days when Tianyu was away, no one had come to clean this room, and there was still some smell of Tianyu's fragrance in the room.
Hongying felt like a pervert, although she was embarrassed, she still wanted some comfort in her heart.
Hongying was lying on the bed where Tianyu was lying, the aroma asked by the tip of her nose was similar to that in her room, the shampoo and shower gel were the same, and the laundry detergent used to wash bedding was the same, even the smell of Tianyu that had been left on this bed flew away with the open window.
Hongying sighed, returned to her room, and slept with the bear in her arms.
When Fendi returned to the palace, he immediately went to find his father.
King Billy sat behind his desk, put down the papers in his hand, looked up at Fendi, and said, "How's the red glow?" Are you alright? ”
Fendi sat weakly on the couch: "Hongying, she had an afternoon of drunkenness, but she exhausted me. She used up her magic power at once, and her body changed back to fifteen years old. ”
King Billy frowned and said, "Then let her rest at home." ”
"With Hongying's ability, the magic will be restored soon. Father, the people of the three kingdoms are gone? ”
"Yes, it's all sent back."
"Father, I don't think you're just holding an equestrian competition this time, right?" Fendi asked tentatively.
"The main thing is to make them doubt the identity of the red ying, so that they will know that we have a very powerful secret weapon. This time, they shouldn't dare to have any bad intentions about our Rose Kingdom. ”
Fendi nodded, "That's right." ”
