Chapter 164: This Lack of Plans Destroys the Soul (Part I)
Rouran, Prince's Mansion.
The autumn night is as bleak as water.
Su Xi waited for the dressing maid to step down, so that the veil was removed and he rested in bed.
There was a slight sound, footsteps came, and the person stood in front of the bed, staring at the delicate body looming in the hanging veil, thinking quietly for a moment, maybe he didn't expect her to fall asleep, so he had to turn around silently.
Su Xiru, who pretended to be asleep, sneered, lifted the quilt and sat up, and sneered at the departing back: "I didn't expect that King Ling, who is an elegant man, would also enter the boudoir at night?" Why, since you're here, aren't you ready to catch up? ”
The person who came was Feng Xuanjing!
He shook his spine, smiled helplessly, and turned around slowly: in front of her, he seemed to lose without suspense!
Su Xiru waved his hand over the curtain, and a suit of obscene clothes and pants appeared in front of his eyes, staring at him with an unfathomable expression.
Feng Xuanjing lowered his gaze and frowned slightly.
"If you are speechless, why bother sleeping in the middle of the night?" Su Xiru sneered, quite teasing, but he didn't hide it, but asked clearly: "Is King Ling going to catch up with me like this?"
"Qingyi, you... Why did you come to Rouran and kiss as the lord of Wenyin? Feng Xuanjing sighed secretly, looking up indifferently. What about Miss Sue? ”
"Oh! It turned out that King Ling was fighting for his confidant and friend, so he came to ask in the middle of the night? Su Xiru tilted his head slightly, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and then said proudly: "Why, I come to be gentle and friendly as the lord of Wenyin, is it possible... Still wronged Prince Chu? After a pause, he said, "As for Ruo'er's whereabouts... It doesn't seem like it's your turn to ask? ”
Feng Xuanjing quietly looked at her, but only he knew the thoughts in his heart, what kind of unpeace it was.
"The two countries have made a peace pact, each for the benefit of the people on the border, and to live and work in peace and contentment." Feng Xuanjing pondered for a moment and said: "The candidate to represent the harmony is particularly important, it is by no means as simple as marrying away from a foreign country and leaving her homeland, she is a victim of politics, and she plays a vital role in the alliance between the two countries, how can she do it for child's play?"
Su Xiru raised a dark and incomprehensible smile at the corner of her mouth, quietly listened to his righteous words, and did not refute it, she covered her mouth and sighed, and asked a little sleepy, "Are you finished?" That... King Ling, please take care of yourself! It's time for me to rest..."
"Qingyi!" Feng Xuanjing saw her put down the veil, stepped forward in a little hurry, approached the bedside, and said in a deep voice: "If you mess around because of other things, you can't be allowed to act recklessly..."
Before his words fell, Su Xiru rolled up the curtain, revealing his pretty face that was tired and heavy, and said unhurriedly: "King Ling is really strange!" Just preaching and kissing are particularly important, how did it become my nonsense and my recklessness in a blink of an eye? ”
Feng Xuanjing met her mocking eyes, knowing that she was deliberately provocative, so he had to frown and remain silent.
"Okay, in the dead of night, King Ling should take care of himself!" Once again, she gave the order to evict the guest, and her tone did not seem to be lazy, but stiff and rigorous. "I, a weak woman who has fallen victim to politics, married far away, and has no relatives, if I fall into the truth, won't I get into trouble? Besides, Prince Chu is kind and upright, which is a blessing that I have cultivated in several lifetimes, how can I get involved with other men in the middle of the night and insult my future husband's face? ”
Feng Xuanjing was stunned and stared at her gloomily.
Su Xiru ignored Feng Xuanjing's face, became more and more worried, and sighed lightly: "I have been displaced all the way, I have no fixed place, I finally have someone to rely on, I just want to stay with him and join hands with Bai Shou..."
Feng Xuanjing's face sank suddenly, his whole body stiffened unconsciously, his hands clenched, and his knuckles turned white.
"The past... If I have offended King Ling, please bear with me. Su Xiru raised his eyes, glanced at Feng Xuanjing, and his tone changed, quite sincerely: "Now that I have a home, King Ling will also rejoice for me... Right! I heard that King Ling also found someone to work with? So... Qingyi also sincerely wishes you so... It's not in vain that you and I get acquainted..."
Feng Xuanjing looked at her gloomily, a little dazed and a little sour, he originally wanted to remind her that Chu Zheng knew that they had known each other. But she was stunned by her frank confession: she... Actually... To Chu Zheng...
Feng Xuanjing didn't think about it, Su Xiru's words were like throwing a boulder into his quiet and insipid heart lake, instantly disturbing his mood and stirring up a thousand waves. When he turned around in a lonely way, a sharp sword stinging sensation crossed his heart.
Su Xiru watched his figure disappear at the door, the corners of his mouth flashed with a smile, and his eyes flashed with a sly light, but he was lost for a moment, and there was nowhere to catch it.
The next day, Cai Yi was ordered by Chu Zheng to invite Su Xiru to go to the hall, saying that they would taste fresh osmanthus cake and freshly picked Jiaye tea from Puluo Mountain together.
When Su Xiru heard that Feng Xuanjing was also there, her eyes froze, and then she changed into a goose yellow dress, delicate makeup, and took off her veil.
When she arrived in the hall, Chu Zheng almost looked straight and said in surprise: "Isn't it the Lord of Wenyin County who is a heavenly immortal who has descended to earth and entered the Prince's Mansion?" Such a blessing, where did I Chu Zheng come to cultivate? ”
Su Xiru glanced at Feng Xuanjing, who was as indifferent as before, smiled lightly, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness is so arrogant, and you are not afraid of Feng Gongzi's jokes!"
The queen of people! The man in front of the wind! Feng Xuanjing's eyes sank, and the line between her and him was really clear, and she didn't seem to want to be involved at all.
Chu Zheng Xu didn't expect her to respond in such a coquettish tone, and he smiled dryly for a while, slightly embarrassed. Squinted his eyes and glanced at Feng Xuanjing, and found that his face was a little deep, and suddenly, he felt very interesting: It turns out that you also have times when you are not calm, Feng Xuanjing, I finally found your weakness!
After thinking about it, Chu Zheng simply didn't do anything, stepped forward to hold Su Xiru's hand, and led the seat to the seat. "What are you afraid of, this is my Prince's Mansion, is it possible that I praise my Crown Princess... Who else will approve? ”
Feng Xuanjing's hand holding the teacup froze, and he raised his eyes and stared at Chu Zheng heavily.
Chu Zheng raised his eyebrows and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless, who could resist facing such a delicate and gentle woman and not be moved?
Chu Zheng made tea for her, served pastries with his own hands, and carefully explained how to pick osmanthus flowers, clean and dry, and how to make the process of evaporation. Su Xiru also had spiritual waves in his eyes, a smile on his lips, and listened attentively.
Feng Xuanjing's face became more and more ugly, faintly angry, and he used the tea as wine and drank it all.
Chu Zheng held back the ecstatic laughter in his heart, and still talked about the Jiaye tea of Puluo Mountain gently and softly. There is a Taoist temple hidden at the top of the peak of Puluo Mountain, there are several hermit cultivators living in it, who do not go down the mountain for many years, in the hidden mountain, take it from the mountain, use it as the source of the mountain, and eat the mountain material. There is a tea forest behind the Taoist temple, which is Jiaye tea, which is picked at the autumn equinox every year, withered in winter, sprouted in spring, and flourished in summer. In this way, the four seasons return to return every year, like the way of the public, birth, old age, sickness and death, young and young decline.
Su Xiru took a sip of Jiaye tea, and after a while, he said: "Sure enough, it is a good tea, the entrance is clear, the throat is smooth, and the stomach is warm."
"Good tea also needs to taste the heart of the tea person to taste the unique charm!" Chu Zheng glanced at Feng Xuanjing, the meaning could not be more obvious, and teased: "Otherwise, if you waste good tea in vain, it will be a violent thing!" Alas, some people seem to be gentle and elegant, but in fact, they are just blind eyes! It is purely a false rumor, which makes people blindly admire, how can a well-educated person actually drink tea and wine? Wouldn't it be disgraceful to bury the tea intention in this way? ”
Su Xiru couldn't help but smile coquettishly, with thousands of charms and unfathomable feelings.
Feng Xuanjing, who was left aside, couldn't hear Chu Zheng's insinuations, and Su Xiru's smile hid a needle. Although he knew that they sang and harmonized, he couldn't suppress the loss in his heart, and he finally walked away angrily.
Chu Zheng looked at Feng Xuanjing's indignant figure, almost laughed and turned his back on his anger, and couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaiming: "Okay!" Good! Good! The gentleman takes revenge, ten years is not too late, I didn't expect Feng Xuanjing, who is as light as the breeze and like an idle cloud, to abandon him angrily? Such an impolite and rude thing will one day betail him and do it? It's unbelievable! ”
Su Xiru put away her smile and snorted coldly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, which one is this singing?" Drag me into the water, just to fix your confidant and friend? ”
Chu Zheng was slightly stunned, then raised his head and laughed: "Why should the county lord be so serious? Isn't it interesting for you and me to join forces? Why, the county lord saw that he was wronged... Distressed? ”
Su Xiru was stunned, then smiled calmly, his eyes wandered, and his face was stable: "Your Highness is really good at laughing!" Well, the tea has been tasted, the osmanthus cake has also been tasted, His Royal Highness's hatred... Also reported! That... Wen Yin did not disturb His Highness and retreated first. ”
Chu Zheng smiled meaningfully, nodded and approved: "The county lord is really smart, if you know it, you will accept it when you see it, and you can do it, okay!" You're tired, so take a good rest, keep your spirits up, and let's keep up the good work... How is it? ”
Su Xiru looked at him with deep eyes, Chu Zheng smiled back, she didn't say anything in the end, bowed slightly, and slowly turned away.
Chu Zheng looked at her graceful back, sighed with his cheeks, and muttered to himself: "Such an interesting woman, I am really reluctant to let go..."
"Your Highness... Intrigued? Cai Yi quietly appeared behind him and said suddenly: "Then hurry up and hold a big wedding ceremony..."
Chu Zheng was startled, and when he turned around and saw that it was Cai Yi, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "What a kid of you, you went on a trip to the country of Day, and when you come back, you will be lawless, and dare to be arrogant about the prince of Fei Boben?" What's the matter, itchy skin? Can't get a board? ”
Cai Yi innocently scratched the back of his head and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Your Highness forgive your sins!" The subordinates escorted the county lord all the way, saw that she cared about His Highness, and inquired about His Highness's temperament and temper. Big and small, you know everything..."
"Oh!" Chu Zheng's eyes lit up, he raised his eyebrows with interest, touched his nose and asked, "Then did you report the three meals a day, late rest and early risen, dressing up, and favorite and interesting things one by one?"
"Hmm." Cai Yi didn't notice the dangerous chill emanating from Chu Zheng's eyes, and said complacently: "My subordinates think that the county lord has never met His Royal Highness, and he is still so hearted, and his subordinates naturally know everything, and they can't say enough..." Before he could react, he only heard Chu Zheng's angry voice ringing like thunder: "Come on, take Cai Yi down to this prince, and enter the chamber to receive fifty boards..."
Cai Yi was stunned, dumbfounded for a moment, and forgot to cry out for wrongs and begged Chu Zheng for mercy. In this way, Cai Yi was obediently taken away by his subordinates in a daze and took the fifty boards.
Su Xiru left the hall, retreated from the left and right maids, and walked through the corridor alone, frowning and pondering. She found that Chu Zheng was far from being as heroic and hearty as he appeared on the surface, and judging from his methods of dealing with Feng Xuanjing, he still had many unknown strategies and plans in his heart.
Suddenly, a force pulled her to stumble a few steps, fell into the arms of Wen Ya, she wanted to wave her palms away, but was grabbed by one hand, and a low voice came from her ear: "It's me!"
Su Xiru looked at it, glared angrily, and said angrily: "Feng Xuanjing, what are you doing?"
Feng Xuanjing stared at her faintly, and said in a trance: "Qingyi, don't mess with Chu Zheng, you won't be able to get out of it when the time comes!"
"Who said I was going to get away from him?" Su Xi pushed him away angrily and sneered, "Feng Xuanjing, why are you meddling in my business?" Haven't you always been as calm as the wind and pretentious? What are you doing in these troubled waters? Take your imperial sister-in-law, mother and son to travel all over the world and go to the end of the world! I don't need you to take care of my business..."
"You blame me for taking her away?" Feng Xuanjing hugged her tightly, not letting her break free, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "Qingyi, I just paid back the share I owed her, not to stay with her for the rest of my life..."
Su Xiru didn't expect that the gentle and elegant Feng Xuanjing would be so rude and domineering to hold her tightly in his arms? She struggled a few times, couldn't get out, listened to his whispered explanation, didn't feel stunned, and let him hug her.
