Chapter 66: Peace of Mind
Cao Tingyue went back with Chi Chi when the night had not fallen deeper.
After watching the sunset, Chi Chi does not seem to have as many worries as before, after all, at present, the situation is like this, even if she wants to struggle, I am afraid there is no way.
After arriving in ancient times, I actually understood a lot of things.
People often say that man will conquer the sky, and some people say that no matter what, everything should be in their own hands.
If it was in modern times, of course, Chi Chi would agree with what they said, but when it came to ancient times, Chi Chi was not.
There are too many things that are not up to her, just take the simplest thing as an example, even if she wants to work hard, but the emperor just wants her to marry Beiyin, she has no way at all, if it wasn't for someone to help her later, I'm afraid that even if she wipes her neck, the emperor will throw her body to Beiyin.
Later, in order not to go to Beiyin, I went to Huguo Temple, and now I want to go back to the palace, which is also so difficult.
In this kind of imperial society, there is no such thing as my life is up to me, you can't help yourself, there is no way, you can only try to find a way instead of compromise.
But there are always many cases, even if you don't want to compromise, you can only choose to compromise in the end.
I thought about it for a long time, because this matter is not just for her, even if it is such as Jiahe, it is not so easy for her to marry Beiyin, so everyone is the same, and no one has to say anyone.
Chi turned his head to look at Cao Tingyu, "Doesn't it matter if the stall head stays in the Huguo Temple?" Won't anyone be looking for you over there in the East Factory? ”
Now except for Ji Jia, I am afraid that no one else dares to look for him, but Cao Tingyue naturally will not say this to Chi Chi, but just said, "Your Highness don't worry, the slave has his own opinions." ”
Chi Chi nodded, "Originally, I was able to live well in Huguo Temple, but as soon as the prince of Beiyin came, I was a little uneasy, although I also knew that I was nothing good, and the prince of Beiyin didn't have to think about marrying me until now, but I was afraid that if we said two more words, it would be easy to make Jiahe unhappy......"
Cao Tingyue thought a lot in his heart, if he could, he naturally felt that it was good for him to serve by Chi Chi's side, he could rest assured, and he could guard her every day.
But after thinking about it carefully, you will know that this matter is not simple, he is now the godson of the governor of Dongchang, just looking at the current form, I am afraid that his identity is more noble than the identity of the princess of Chi Chi.
After all, Chi Chi is so unfavored.
So it was impossible to ask him to serve her.
Secondly, now that he has a good future in the East Factory, and he is getting closer and closer to his goal, can he really just drop everything and go there for Chichi? He didn't think he could.
Even he knew that he could not be a useless person.
If it just doesn't work, then even if he stays by Chi Chi's side, it won't play any role.
Therefore, if he wants to protect her better and faster, then he can only keep speeding up and going up, so that there is hope that she will not have to live like this again.
"Your Highness, rest assured, there is no need for His Highness to worry about these things." He smiled a little, and the look in his eyes seemed to be written enough, making Chi Chi feel at ease.
Chi Chi has always believed no one, but I don't know why, when he said such a thing at this time, she was really a little relieved, she lowered her eyes, "Thank you." ”
Cao Ting looked at her expression for a moment, and then shook his head, "Your Highness never has to say this to a minion. ”
Chi raised his eyes, stared at him firmly, and his tone was heavy, "Then you don't need to call yourself a slave here in the future." ”
Cao Tingyue smiled at the corner of his lips, and then seemed to hesitate a little, "But Your Highness, this is not polite." ”
Chi Chi laughed, "What kind of etiquette is not polite, stall head, in fact, I have never regarded you as a minion." You also know what the situation is in the palace for me, the princess of Jinyang, but I'm afraid that a person of your status looks at me like a slave on weekdays, and I am not much noble. ”
Cao Tingyue frowned and shook his head, "Your Highness, you are a golden branch and jade leaf, and you are a noble person. ”
"I just think of you as a friend." Chi interrupted him, "I regard you as my close and reliable friend. And not the so-called master-slave relationship. She seemed to stiffen up, and then said, "I have to hear you promise me." If you don't promise me, then you won't come to see me much in the future. ”
"Friends...... Friend? Cao Ting looked at it in a daze.
He had never thought about it, even if he felt close or something at first, but he never thought about his friends...... In the final analysis, he thought that he was just a eunuch, and Chi Chi was a princess.
Chi Chi's expression was firm, "You said to reassure me, you said you would protect me." From this moment on, in my heart, you are my friend. ”
She smiled at him, her eyes were bright, and her beauty was like dust, "Please protect me a lot in the future." ”
Cao Ting quickly looked away, and then nodded, he had always been as warm as jade, but at this moment, he couldn't answer a word, he just knew how to nod, and then flew out of the window quickly.
After a long time, he disappeared and the window fell.
The smile on her lips gradually faded, and she began to think about the present.
Cao Tingyue said that he would help deal with Jiahe and the prince of Beiyin, but she really didn't know how he wanted to deal with it.
But now it's equivalent to getting a free help, not to mention that this help seems to be particularly useful, so why wouldn't she do it?
As for whether he completely believes in Cao Tingyu, in fact, he can't say it himself, but what he just said about wanting to be a friend, Chi Chi can say it exactly, but it is just bluffing.
She doesn't need friends, she crossed over, no one can really understand her, if one day, she tells others about the things in her memory, I'm afraid that everyone will think of her as crazy, and no one can understand her.
So, friend?
What kind of friend is this kind of friend who can't make friends yet?
Chi Chi evoked a sneer, but no matter what, the head of the East Factory turned out to be such an innocent person, which was really good for Chi Chi.
She has a lot to do, and if she has the help of Dongchang, I'm afraid she can get twice the result with half the effort.
Awei knocked on the door outside, "Your Highness, but it's time for dinner?" ”
He replied slowly, "Come in." ”
Cao Tingyu won't leave tonight, maybe she will see her again tomorrow, this time she wants to test it, what is the relationship between him and the abbot of this Huguo Temple, if it is not related, how can he enter and exit this Huguo Temple as easily as entering no one's land.
-
"Your Highness, then you can rest assured." Zheng Liang gave Jiahe a dish, and after he listened to what Jiahe said, he showed a shallow smile.
Jiahe shook his head, "This palace still feels that something is wrong. ”
Zheng Liang said, "Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess has always been known for being timid and afraid of things, and the Beiyin Mountain is far away, and it is a strange place, that is, our Royal Highness dares to say that you want to think about one or two, if you really call Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, I am afraid that she has not yet arrived in Beiyin, and she can scare herself to death." I don't think it's time to get married. ”
Jiahe sneered when he heard this, "There is some truth in what you said, Jinyang has always been as timid as a mouse, if she really has any thoughts about the prince, this palace will not believe it." ”
"Besides, since Your Majesty also thinks that this family business is not successful, there will be no variables left and right, so why should Your Highness bother with her anymore. It would be better to turn all your attention to the prince. ”
Jiahe sighed, "I don't know how you said this, but what you said turned your mind, and the thoughts of this palace didn't all fall on the prince, but what was the use?" The prince didn't think about going to Jinyang. ”
She was jealous again, Zheng Liang smiled, "Your Highness, don't be in a hurry, it's always clear that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." ”
"But now I don't know how long the prince will stay in this Huguo Temple, although the palace knows not to worry, but I am also afraid that he will leave again in two days. If he returns to the palace again, it will be under the nose of the queen mother, and at that time, no matter what the palace wants to do, I am afraid it will not be possible. ”
Zheng Liang lowered his eyes, "Why should Your Highness worry, the prince also said, this great river and mountain has not seen enough, it is rare to steal half a day of leisure in this temple, and the prince is not willing to return to the palace in such a hurry." ”
Jiahe still looked thoughtful, this time she came to the capital Huguo Temple, she was almost out of the way, and the queen probably wouldn't care about her determination in the future, and if there was nothing at this time, she would go back in disgrace.
Then she really lost more than she gained.
But now that the arrow is ready to be sent, Jiahe has never regretted his decision, but he has been troubled by what he should do.
Zheng Liang smiled slightly, "Your Highness, no matter what, now is the time to cultivate a relationship with the prince first, the two are not familiar with each other, and the prince may not know what kind of person His Highness is." ”
"How do you cultivate it?"
Jiahe doesn't understand, do you want to invite him over for tea every day? Doesn't that feel particularly abrupt?
Zheng Liang didn't think it was so complicated, "Your Highness can often invite the prince to go around, the scenery on this mountain is so chic, what is there to see in the house all day long." ”
Jiahe's eyes lit up, "What you said is extremely true!" ”
