Chapter 41: Talking at the Smoke and Rain Terrace
As soon as Yi Chu walked on the smoke and rain platform, he saw Zong Zhengjin with his back to him, leaning on the hook fence and looking up at the moon, and the delicate and beautiful back was even more lonely under the moonlight. Yi Chu took a few steps forward, Zong Zhengjin was finally shocked, she turned her head suddenly, and when she saw that it was Yi Chu, she was stunned for a few seconds, and then said in a cold voice: "Didn't I say that others are not allowed to come up?"
"Am I someone else?" Yi Chu listened to her words, and his face gradually turned cold.
Zong Zhengjin smiled lightly and said casually; "Yes, you are Yi Chu, the national teacher of Beicang!" Ah Jin!" Yi Chu's voice was a little angry, his brows furrowed even tighter, Zong Zhengjin's drunkenness was sober in an instant, she knew that he was angry, it seemed that this was the first time he was angry with himself.
Looking at his eyes full of anger, Zong Zhengjin's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said; "Forget it, when I didn't say it." Then walked quickly to the table and sat down, picked up the apple on the plate and played with it, and didn't dare to look up at Yi Chu in the middle, to be honest, she was really a little afraid that Yi Chu would get angry.
Yi Chu immediately admitted her mistake when he saw her, sat down obediently, and his anger gradually subsided, but when he thought of her attitude and said something like that, he was upset, and he didn't like his indifferent appearance at all.
"Ah Jin, I hope ...... You and I can still work together as before, without any gaps. Yi Chu's indifferent and somewhat pleading voice came from above his head, Zong Zhengjin's chest was suffocated, and his face was stiff for a while.
Like before? Is it possible? What happened will not be erased by time. But what if you don't agree? In the end, Zong Zhengjin could only nod against his will and looked up at him: "Sir, Ah Jin knows, and he won't do this again in the future."
Seeing that she sincerely agreed, Yi Chu's complexion finally eased, he turned around and sat next to her, and when he saw her face flushed, he couldn't help but scold: "You can't drink, so don't be reckless."
"I don't want to drink it either, but I can't refuse a toast." Zong Zhengjin looked like she had no choice but to say this, just when she said this, she had already decided to hide this relationship, instead of being infatuated, it was better to be a master and apprentice who treated him sincerely, at least, he could always stay by his side. Thinking like this, Zong Zhengjin's smile became a little more sincere.
"So it seems that you still have to learn how to drink?" Yi Chu smiled sincerely when he saw her, and he was relieved for a while.
"Sir, I've just come back, and you're going to teach again!" Zong Zhengjin was very helpless, she just came back and asked her to study, can she still be a princess quietly?
"If you drink enough, why should I force you?" Yi Chu was determined to let her study. Seeing that he was serious, Zong Zhengjin could only nod helplessly: "Okay, I'll start learning tomorrow." Probably tired, Zong Zhengjin supported his head with his hands and looked at Yi Chu with a smile.
"Good", seeing her so cute, Yi Chu's mood suddenly improved a lot. The current situation is very similar to getting along two years ago, there is no gap, and the two have nothing to say.
"By the way, sir, do you know how my uncle Shen Huaixian is doing now?" Zong Zhengjin suddenly thought of today's situation, and she felt that she had to recall her own uncle back to the palace.
"You mean Shen Huaixian? He's your uncle?" Yi Chu asked rhetorically, he didn't know much about the affairs of the Shen family, but he also knew that the current head of the Shen family was not Ah Jin's uncle.
"Yes, he is my mother's own brother."
"As far as I know, he is currently the county guard of Cangzhou in the northwest, and during his tenure, Cangzhou has strict public security, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but he has won a lot of good reputation."
"Is there a way to get my uncle to return to the court?" If Shen Huaixian comes back, then she will have the backer of her maternal uncle's family.
Yi Chu knew what she meant, and after pondering for a moment, he spoke; "In the past few days, I have contacted other officials, and I am preparing to attack the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, he is a member of the Xu Party, and he has been doing some shady things for the Xu family all these years, once he dismounts, your uncle will have a chance to come back, Ah Jin, what do you think ......" Yi Chu raised his eyes, but found that the little girl was lying on the table and fell asleep, probably because of the drunkenness, the pink little face was even more red than before, and the green silk on the forehead hung down on the face, adding a bit of tranquility. Yi Chu was in a trance for a moment, but soon came to his senses.
"When I was drunk, my alertness was so low, and I fell asleep casually." Although he was very angry in his words, his eyes were full of pampering. Fingers caressed her cheeks, brushed away the few strands of green silk, and then reached out and slowly picked her up, as if holding a rare treasure.
Dongping was bored sitting on the stone and counting the stars, when he suddenly heard footsteps, and saw Yi Guoshi walking over with the princess in his arms. Seeing the princess sleeping in Yi Chu's arms with great enjoyment, Dongping couldn't stand it a little, these two ...... It's developing so fast?!
Yi Chu ignored her puzzled eyes and said lightly: "I will quietly send Ah Jin back to the palace, you know what to do later, right?"
"Yes, the slave knows." Dongping nodded knowingly, no need for him to say, she also knows what to do, if others see the National Normal University carrying the princess back to the palace at night, then the palace will definitely explode tomorrow.
Hearing Dongping's assurance, Yi Chu slowly walked towards Shulan Palace with Zong Zhengjin in his arms. Dongping looked at the two figures snuggled together, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, the princess treated them very well, and similarly, they also hoped that the princess would be happy, and in this world, the only one who could make the princess happy was Yi Guoshi.
Watching Yi Chu fly down from the roof with the sleeping princess in his arms, Zhao Qing and Nan Su were stunned in place, unable to return to their senses for a long time, their eyes blinked a few times mechanically, and finally determined that they were not dreaming, this was indeed true.
"Open the door", Yi Chu's cold voice made them come back to their senses in an instant, and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door of the inner hall.
Yi Chu hugged Zong Zhengjin and walked straight to the bed, gently put her down, then took off her shoes, and finally helped her cover the quilt, this series of actions were extremely gentle, which really shocked the two people behind her, what is the situation? Who can tell them what happened?
After making sure that Zong Zhengjin had slept peacefully, Yi Chu turned around and walked towards the door, and after passing by Nanxu and Zhao Qing's side, he reminded him: "Ah Jin has drunk a lot of wine, and he may have a headache when he wakes up tomorrow morning, so you must prepare a sobering soup."
"Yes," the two nodded respectfully. After Yi Chu walked a few steps, he seemed to remember something, turned around and said to them coldly: "As the princess's maid, you should learn how to share the princess's worries, she can't drink, you have to learn to block the wine, I don't want today's situation to happen again, understand?"
"Yes, the slave knows." The two hurriedly bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, and after hearing the reply, Yi Chu walked out quickly.
It wasn't until he walked away that the two dared to raise their heads, really, in front of Yi Guoshi, they didn't even dare to breathe, and the cold breath exuded from their bodies made their hearts tremble.
"Sister Zhao Qing, why do we have to listen to the words of the national teacher?" After calming down, Nan Su was depressed, this Yi Guoshi was not their master, why were they so obedient.
Zhao Qing poked her little head with her finger and said, "Yi Guoshi's words are also for the good of the princess, why don't we listen?" Besides, this princess's thoughts about the national teacher, others don't know, don't you and I don't know? Since the princess is willing to listen to the national teacher, then we will also obey. ”
"Well, yes, that's true." Zhao Qing didn't bother to say more, she walked quickly to the bed, and when she saw the princess sleeping soundly, she sighed, it seems that the princess really drank too much, and she didn't wake up when she was picked up by the national teacher like this.
Nan Su stepped forward and saw her red face, pulled Zhao Qing away a little more, and asked in a low voice, "But what's going on today?" How could this Yi Guoshi come back with the princess?"
When she asked like this, Zhao Qing was also full of doubts: "At that time, only Sister Dongping was by the princess's side, she must know, let's go, let's go find her." "Good!" The two quickly exited the dormitory and went to Dongping excitedly.
......
The next day, the early morning sun shone through the gorgeous nine-fold gauze tent on the stunning face on the bed, as if it was pierced by a strong light, Zong Zhengjin slowly opened her eyes, and the ensuing headache made her can't help but scream softly, and then the scene of last night passed through her mind.
She remembered that she was obviously discussing with Yi Chu about letting her uncle return to the court, why did she return to the palace later? While she was meditating, Zhao Qing and the others heard the movement in the house and walked in with water and clothes.
"Princess, you're awake." Zhao Qing stepped forward to help her up, and Zong Zhengjin asked, "How did I come back last night?"
The three girls couldn't help but laugh when they heard her ask, Dongping had already told her the general situation, thinking that the princess and the national teacher were expected to develop further, not to mention how excited the three of them were.
Nan Xu replied with a smile: "Princess, it was the national teacher Yi who sent you back last night, you fell asleep, and the national teacher carried you back to the palace." She also deliberately put the word "hug" a little heavier.
Seeing their ambiguous expressions, Zong Zhengjin's face flushed slightly, she didn't expect that Yi Chu would carry her back. It's just that she has decided to hide this relationship last night, how can she be tempted by these little things again?
Zong Zhengjin looked at the three of them, and said with a straight face: "I and the national teacher are not what you think, I made it clear to him last night, and we will still get along like we did in Yangzhou in the future, everything is the same as two years ago, you don't have to talk nonsense."
"Princess......" "Alright, freshen up for me." Zong Zhengjin interrupted what they wanted to say and walked straight to the dressing table.
"Yes, Princess." The three of them glanced at each other and wanted to say something, but they couldn't say anything when the words came to their lips. The princess said so, then it was useless for them to say more, although it was a pity that the princess could not be with Yi Guoshi, but since it was the princess's decision, they would never be disobedient.
"By the way, does Yunlong still live in King Min's Mansion now?" Zong Zhengjin suddenly remembered this incident, Shen Yunlong's family of a girl always lives in King Min's mansion, which is not good for her reputation.
"Back to the princess, Miss Shen moved to General Tang's mansion to live." Zhao Qing chuckled and replied, "Hehe, I forgot, Brother Tang has his own mansion, and Evian Long's temperament is clamoring to go over." Zong Zhengjin shook his head helplessly, this Hanhan is really persistent!
"That's right, this General Tang was reluctant at first, but Miss Shen's grinding kung fu was first-class, and in the end General Tang had to agree." Speaking of Shen Yunlong's method of chasing people, several people laughed helplessly.
