373 I still cared
Chu Mufeng knew that Song Erniu was telling the truth, but when he thought that the two of them were going to be alone, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"What, do you have an opinion on this matter?"
Song Erniu saw Chu Mufeng's displeasure and asked with a smile.
"No, you can go if you want."
After Chu Mufeng finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Song Erniu smiled and didn't pay attention to her anymore, made some pastries in the afternoon, and planned to bring them into the palace tomorrow morning.
Worried that she would come back late tomorrow, Song Erniu went to the beauty shop again
However, in just a few days, the beauty shop has now become the first floor of Kyoto City. Chunfeng Building has long since disappeared
Chunfeng Lou's mother recently asked around about the musicians of the Beauty Workshop, but no matter how she inquired, she didn't receive any news.
In desperation, he sent someone to the door of the beauty shop to star. finally discovered Song Erniu.
"What are you talking about, Miss Song has been in and out of Beauty Square every day recently?"
In Kyoto City, all the characters with heads and faces know the relationship between Song Erniu and the emperor.
If it's anyone else, that's fine. But Song Erniu...... They really can't afford to offend.
"Lord Wang, what are we going to do now? Seeing that the business in the building is not getting worse day by day, if it continues like this, I am afraid that the silver will not be able to support it......"
Mom is in moderation. When the eighth prince heard this, he glared at his mother unhappily, "Why, even you think that this king is now at the end of his rope?" ”
"It's not...... How could the slave family think like this, the slave family was worried about the prince...... The prince has also seen it now, and the business of Chunfeng Lou is so depressed. And there is a lot of silver that needs every day...... In the past, when our Chunfeng Lou business was good, we barely managed to support the expenses over there, and now it's so ......."
Mom looked at the eighth prince with some embarrassment, "Doesn't the prince also know this Song girl, why don't you ask the prince to help and see if you can ......" Pull Song Erniu over and keep it for herself?
Before my mother finished speaking, the eighth prince interrupted my mother's words, "Even if this king can invite him, do you dare to use it?" ”
After the eighth prince finished speaking, he got up and left. Back at the palace, Xiang Xi was practicing swords in the backyard. Since entering Beijing, Xiang Xi has rarely wielded knives and guns again. Being imprisoned in the palace right now is really boring, and Xiang Xi knows that the eighth prince has gone out, so he has a good time with his sword.
Unexpectedly, he was still caught by the prince, "...... the prince"
"Did this king tell you not to get these things in front of this king?" The eighth prince stepped forward with a sneer, "Or do you think that this king has lost now, and this life is like this, even you are beginning to dislike this king/"
The eighth prince raised Xiang Xi's chin and pressed forward step by step, "You kept saying that you loved this king before, and what you said was different from other women, this king almost really believed you......"
A flash of disappointment flashed across the Eighth Prince's resolute face. Seeing this, Xiang Xi didn't know why, as if something in his heart was about to be lost. So he went to grab the arm of the eighth prince regardless of fear.
"Lord Wang, you misunderstood, I'm just a little bored, I just want to pass the time with a sword, my mind about the prince has never changed, if you have to tell me the truth...... I...... I'd rather the prince always be like this, stay in this house with me, and be carefree for the rest of my life, really"
The eighth prince didn't believe it, "Do you think this king will be deceived by you again?" Xiangxi, you really won't take revenge for Xiang's family? ”
Xiang Xi held the hand of the Eighth Prince, trembled slightly, and then forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and when he raised his head again, his eyes regained firmness.
"If I can be by the prince's side for the rest of my life, I am willing to let go of those hatreds, because I know that if my father and mother are alive, they must not want me to be trapped by hatred, but want me to live happily."
"Happy?" The Eighth Prince glanced at the towering walls on all sides and sneered, "Would you feel happy to stay in such a place for the rest of your life?" ”
Xiang Xi took two steps forward firmly, "Yes, as long as the prince is here, for me, this is the best place in the world." ”
"Really?" The eighth prince pressed forward step by step, leaned into her ear, and sneered, "Then what if this king is unwilling?" Would you like to give this king a helping hand? ”
"What do you mean by this?" Xiang Xi raised his head suddenly, and looked at the eighth prince in disbelief, "The prince still wants to ......"
Xiang Xi didn't dare to say that sentence, but she could see the expression of the eighth prince.
The eighth prince was ambitious before, if it wasn't for the sudden departure of the emperor and his refusal, the eighth prince would have been ruthless at that time.
At present, although the eighth prince is imprisoned, his heart still has not given up. Even thinking about making a comeback......
"Why, you don't want to?"
The eighth prince took two steps back dissatisfiedly, "Just now, I swore an alliance with this king mountain, and now I will show my true face?" Woman, indeed, is the most untrustworthy animal in the world. ”
"The prince knows that this move is a desperate gamble, why do you still do this?"
Isn't it good to live well, and to live ordinary? Why do you have to plan that location?
Is that position so tempting, even if you give everything, even if you know that there is only one point of no return ahead, you will not give up?
Xiang Xi was unwilling to let the eighth prince lose his life, so he tried his best to dissuade him, but the eighth prince had already made up his mind, "If you don't want to watch this king die, then help this king." ”
Seeing that he was so resolute, Xiang Xi grabbed the sleeve of the eighth prince and asked expressionlessly, "What does the prince want me to help you?" ”
"I heard that your good cousin-in-law is now helping the beauty shop, no matter what method you use, let him help Chunfeng Lou."
So, Chunfeng Building is the property of the Eighth Prince? Xiang Xi thought of the deaths in Chunfeng Tower for several days in a row, as well as the rumors about the Chu family's unjust soul asking for their lives, what did he think of later......
"So it was the prince who wanted to stop the emperor from investigating the Chu family? So the affairs of the Chu family are also related to the prince? ”
In fact, there are some things that Xiang Xi has known for a long time, but there is no evidence, but he can't believe it. Now that she heard the eighth prince admit it personally, she felt that her only insistence could not find a reason.
She wanted to retreat, she wanted to leave, she wanted to escape...... But she knew that she couldn't do without the Eighth Prince......
Xiang Xi returned to the house, lay down at the table and didn't know how long he thought about it, and when the sun set, Xiang Xi went to Song's house.
Song Daniu and Song Erniu have just returned, and the children are surrounding them talking about things during the day. Xiaobao lay in Song Erniu's arms, smiling all over her face.
When Xiang Xi came in, Chu Mufeng had just come back from outside, and when he saw him coming, he asked suspiciously, "Why did you come over, but what happened?" ”
"Cousin, I heard you moved, so come and have a look."
Xiang Xi didn't know how to speak, and after glancing at Song Erniu, he looked at the children.
The world of adults is always mixed with too many interests, conspiracies. Only the world of children is the most simple and stress-free. Xiang Xi chatted with a few children, and Song Daniu went to the kitchen.
Chu Mufeng sat at the table and asked Song Erniu about entering the palace tomorrow. "Although the emperor died, but there are many concubines in the harem, you have to be more careful when you enter the palace tomorrow, by the way, I also heard that you had a conflict with the sisters of the Ji family that day, the Ji family has a daughter in the palace, tomorrow you enter the palace, it is best to avoid some ......"
"Why are you hiding?" Song Erniu was puzzled, "The first emperor has died, shouldn't those concubines take advantage of the situation, how can they still oppose me?" ”
Song Erniu has never lived in the palace and doesn't know the hardships of the harem. Chu Mufeng was worried that she would suffer a loss after she passed, and wanted to tell him carefully.
"Cousin, can I say a few words to my cousin?" Seeing Song Erniu glaring at him, he quickly changed his words, "It's Miss Song......"
Chu Mufeng glanced at Song Erniu, saw that he had no objection, and got up to leave.
There were two people left in the courtyard, Song Erniu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Xiang Xi, "Drink some tea." You're actually coming to me today. ”
"You're smart. Yes, I did come to you today. Xiang Xi saw that he had guessed, so he said bluntly, "That...... I've heard you've been in and out of Beauty Corner a lot lately."
"The Eighth Prince asked you to come." Song Erniu interrupted her again, "If yes, I'm sorry, I won't promise you." ”
In fact, Song Erniu had guessed before that the eighth prince had a relationship with Chunfeng Lou, and now Xiang Xi's words proved all this, and she would not agree.
The last time the eighth prince used Chunfeng Tower, the rumors that the Chu family's ghosts were seeking revenge almost made the Chu family worse again, and now the eighth prince is still embarrassed to come to him?
Wait a minute...... Why did the Eighth Prince do this? He is the behind-the-scenes boss of Chunfeng Building, before he needed a lot of silver because of his great cause, and now he has been imprisoned in the palace, what does he need so much silver for?
Could it be...... Song Erniu thought of something, and her face changed instantly.
"Xiangxi, tell me, does the eighth prince have the heart of rebellion/"
When Xiang Xi heard this, his face suddenly changed, "You...... How could you think that? Xiang Xi thought she had covered it up very well, how did Song Erniu know? When Xiang Xi was puzzled, Song Erniu stepped forward and said with a serious face, "Xiang Xi, I know that you like the Eighth Prince, for her, you can not care about everything, but you can see clearly, what the Eighth Prince is doing now is to ignore the people of Li and ......."
Song Erniu saw that Xiangxi was silent, and pressed step by step, "You can ignore your feelings, you can give up everything for love, but the people in the world are innocent." You can't be so selfish. ”
Xiang Xi pushed Song Erniu away, took two steps back and shook his head, "I didn't, I didn't...... I just want to keep her alive in peace, and I don't want to......"
Xiang Xi didn't understand, how simple what she wanted, why did God joke with her again and again?
When she knew that the eighth prince was imprisoned, she even secretly had pistachios, she thought that as long as the two of them lived in this mansion all the time, they were destined to have no wind and waves in this life......
She even selfishly ignored the hatred of the Xiang family for him, she used to resent Chu Mufeng, dissatisfied with the Chu family, and felt that they were the culprits, if it weren't for them, the Xiang family would not have been ruined, and he would not have become what he is now......
But seeing herself now, she found more and more that many things are really not as simple as they seem on the surface......
"I really just want to live my life and not do anything...... Light...... But he didn't want to...... What can I do? ”
Xiang Xi smiled bitterly, "I once thought that if something really happened to him, I would be willing to die with him, but ......"
Xiang Xi said the back, sneered and stood up, "That's it, I haven't been here today." I'll go back first. ”
Not long after Xiang Xi left, Chu Mufeng came over. "You didn't promise her, did you?"
Song Erniu turned around after a slight flurry, "How do you know?"
Chu Mufeng chuckled, "She is actually a person who doesn't hide her emotions, from the very beginning, I knew her intention today." It's just that I didn't expect the eighth prince to have such wolf ambitions. ”
"yes, I didn't expect that either. In the past, I always felt that Xiang Xi's love was desperate and sincere, and over time, he would definitely move the eighth prince. But now it seems that you will never be able to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. There is no way to touch someone who doesn't love you. The eighth prince doesn't like Xiang Xi, no matter what Xiang Xi does, it will be useless. ”
Song Erniu looked up at the starry sky and continued, "If you can, you should persuade Xiangxi to turn back." He is still young, and there is really no need to waste time on such a person. ”
Chu Mufeng glanced at Song Erniu, "If it's you, if it's us, it's ......"
Song Erniu didn't want to continue the topic, so she casually found an excuse to leave.
When she went back, Xiaobao had already slept, and Song Erniu kissed Xiaobao before going back to her room. After a good night's sleep, the next morning, Song Erniu went to the palace with the finished pastries.
After the next dynasty, when the emperor heard that Song Erniu was coming, his face immediately improved a lot.
"Where is Miss Song now?" The emperor went over in person, Song Erniu was in the Qianqing Palace, and when the emperor came, Song Erniu was drinking tea at the table.
"The people's daughter meets the emperor." Song Erniu got up and saluted, and the emperor stepped forward and stopped Song Erniu, "In front of me, you don't need to be so polite." ”
"Your Majesty, this is the palace, and you are also the emperor now, how it was harmless before, but now, it is better for the people to have some rules."
Song Erniu smiled and took two steps back, raised her head and looked at the emperor carefully, but she hadn't seen her for a few days, the emperor had lost a lot of weight and was tired a lot, and she hadn't rested much recently.
"Your Majesty, I made pigeon soup for you, come and drink a little."
Song Erniu opened the food box, and then took out the meals inside one by one. "I don't know if the emperor's appetite has changed, these are all prepared by me according to your previous taste."
Song Erniu prepared very well today, snacks, pastries, ginseng soup, but everything the emperor liked prepared some.
The emperor originally thought that Song Erniu's rustiness was a little unhappy, but now that he saw the table full of food, he immediately waved away the displeasure just now.
"All for me?"
After the emperor took a bite of the chopsticks, he nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed a familiar taste, Erniu, when did you start today." ”
"I prepared these things yesterday, and I just made them this morning, and it didn't take long."
Song Erniu helped the emperor fill a bowl of soup and handed it over, "Taste it." ”
"It's delicious," the emperor drank the pigeon soup in the bowl in one go, "Why did you come here today." ”
"I heard that the emperor is sick, and I thought I hadn't seen you for a while, so I came over to take a look."
The emperor looked at Song Erniu's busy appearance, and a smile flashed in his eyes, it turned out that she still cared about him......
