Chapter Seventy-Three: Jealousy

After meeting in the garden that day, Su Yi went to the palace the next day, met the emperor, and made a request.

"You said Xiao Qi?" The emperor was obviously surprised, and didn't understand why his youngest daughter was involved with Su Yi.

But who is Su Yi, others only say that he is the living Hades, but they don't know that this living Hades still has a three-inch tongue, even if he is facing the emperor of the Red Maple Kingdom, he can do a lie without a red face and a heartbeat, make up a high-sounding and leaky reason, and half-truths about his encounter with Liang Yue in the back garden.

So and so and so and so and

After a long time, the emperor finally nodded as if he suddenly realized and readily agreed. "Xiao Qi's child has always been outgoing and lively, and it is interesting to have her as a companion."

There is also Liang Zhun that kid with him on the left and right, and he is not afraid that Su Yi has other thoughts.

Su Yi received a satisfactory answer and left happily.

After he left, the queen walked out from the side of the hall, and said with a worried face: "Xiao Qi, she has a stubborn temperament, and there will be few overstepping the rules, how can Your Majesty respond?" ”

When the emperor heard this, he smiled: "It's because Xiao Qi is naughty that I can agree." Xiao Qi is my daughter, no matter how naughty and fun she is, no one dares to say that she is not. The queen is too worried, Xiao Qi's identity is here, who dares to say that she is offended? ”

What the emperor said was a matter of course.

The queen was silent, and in the end there was nothing to say, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

Here Su Yi returned to the General's Mansion, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Liang Yue running towards him happily, running so quickly that when he was still a few steps away from him, Su Yi was ready to reach out and pick her up.

But Liang Yue stopped in time and stopped half a step away from him.

"How's it going? Did my father say yes? Liang Yue looked at him expectantly.

Su Yi smiled and nodded: "Well, Emperor Shengming, naturally agreed." ”

"Really?!" Liang Yue's eyes sparkled, and when she heard this, she almost jumped up with joy. Hurriedly grabbed Su Yi and asked, "Then can I just go out of the palace to play?" Where can I go? ”

Su Yi was pulled by her sleeves, and she didn't mind, she only nodded and said, "Yes, the emperor said, as long as you accompany me, you can go anywhere." ”

When Liang Yue heard this, she jumped three feet high with joy, and shook Su Yi's arm and said excitedly: "Great, great, now I finally don't have to go out to play secretly." You're really my lucky star! In return, how about I invite you out to dinner? ”

It turned out that the two of them met in the garden that day, and Liang Yue had forgotten about Su Yi she had saved by accident, but under Su Yi's few prompts, Liang Yue quickly remembered it again. The two talked very happily, and later talked about the cave, Liang Yue said that she was very sad, she was still hiding from her father and queen mother in the general's mansion, not to mention that she went out to play, I was really afraid that as soon as I went out, I would be found by the patrolling soldiers and brought back.

So Su Yi assured her that he had a way to let her go out and play happily. Then Su Yi entered the palace and asked for Liang Yue to accompany him, and then there was this scene.

Su Yi naturally accepted it gladly.

Yesterday, Liang Zhun went to the barracks, saying that there were some emergencies to deal with, but until now, others have not returned.

Liang Yue decided not to wait for him anymore, with her father's permission, she didn't have to wear the clothes of a little girl anymore, so she happily changed her favorite dress, brought a maid, and went out on the street with Su Yi.

Liang Yue and Su Yi walked in front, and the maid followed not far behind.

"This feeling of freedom is too long gone." Liang Yue refused to take the carriage, and proposed to walk down the street, walking on the road step by step, and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation.

Su Yi asked her: "You are a princess, why can't you even go to the street?" ”

Liang Yue shook her head and sighed: "It's not that I can't, but I don't want to be followed by a lot of people every time I come out, just those palace maids are annoying enough, not to mention that there is a team of guards with knives to follow." You don't know, every time I come out, they follow me, and those who don't know think I'm out to smash the store and rob it! It's annoying to them, they call me a princess, but no one listens to me, only my father and queen mother, oh, and Liangzhun. They just don't listen to me anyway. ”

Listening to Liang Yue's depressed complaints, Su Yi smiled and asked again, "You and General Liang...... Good relationship? ”

Speaking of Liang Zhun, Liang Yue's tone obviously became cheerful. "Yes, yes, we grew up together. Don't look at him now, he looks cold and fierce all day long, but he was cute when he was a child! My father and queen mother also like him, but when I was a child, he always bullied me, but now that I have grown up, I will ignore him as soon as he bullies me, he is most afraid that I will ignore him haha, so now I am bullying him, and he does not dare to bully me. ”

Su Yi listened silently and didn't answer again.

Liang Yue talked a lot to herself, and found that Su Yi was silent, so she asked him strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Why do you look unhappy? ”

Su Yi said: "It's nothing, I'm hungry." ”

The tone is as blunt as it gets, and it's an excuse when you hear it.

But Liang Yue couldn't hear it, and when she heard him say that he was hungry, she immediately said: "You bear with me, it will be here in a while, you may not believe it when you say it, the food cooked in that Caiyun Building is delicious!" There are also singers and piano players, as well as storytellers! It's hilarious! ”

"......" Su Yi couldn't help but glance at her, but her serious and elated appearance was really easy to infect people, even though he was a little congested, but he was infected by her emotions, and the corners of his lips were also hooked.

Caiyun Building is really lively.

The lobby on the first floor was already full, and as soon as Liang Yue entered, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him, and hurriedly knelt down to salute.

Liang Yue grabbed him and excused him. "I brought a friend today, is there a private room upstairs? Be spacious. ”

The shopkeeper nodded busily and led them upstairs in front. "Yes, yes, princess, the private room you often go to is kept and cleaned every day, just go in directly."

"Liang Zhun ordered it again?" Liang Yue asked.

The shopkeeper smiled like a flower, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, the general has sent silver every month, saying that no one else will be allowed to enter the private room, just wait for the princess to come." ”

Liang Yue smiled, obviously satisfied with Liang Zhun's arrangement.

Su Yi suddenly stopped and said to Liang Yue: "I'm not hungry anymore, why don't we go for a stroll on the street and come back?" ”

"It's all here." Liang Yue looked at the shopkeeper, then at Su Yi, and saw that he insisted, so she had no choice but to follow him.

"Then we'll come back later, you go and get busy, you don't have to follow." Liang Yue waved her hand at the shopkeeper and motioned for him to go down.

Su Yi raised her feet and walked downstairs, Liang Yue hurriedly followed, and it wasn't until she returned to the street that she couldn't help asking: "You obviously said that you were hungry on the road just now, why did you get to the place, but you said you weren't hungry?" ”

He's not hungry, but she wants to eat.

Liang Yue touched her stomach a little depressed.

Su Yi's eyes caught a glimpse of her small movements, hooked the corners of her lips, and then said, "The streets are full of food sellers, wouldn't it be more interesting to eat while shopping?" ”

Liang Yue glanced at him and asked with some suspicion, "Do you really think so?" But didn't you say you don't like to eat on the street? ”

Suzuki's memory of some things is simply amazing, but her dullness in some aspects is just as amazing.

For example, right now.

Faced with her suspicions, Su Yi said without blushing and heartbeat: "Follow the local customs, not to mention that I learned from you, you are such a princess, then it doesn't hurt me once in a while." ”

“…… Okay. Liang Yue nodded, and soon stopped dwelling on the topic, because her eyes were attracted by a stall again.

The stall owner was a very kind-looking lady, and when she saw Liangyue running over, she enthusiastically introduced, "What does the girl want to buy?" I have everything here, rouge gouache, earrings, hairpins, sachets, girl! ”

Liang Yue picked up a finely made sachet, flipped through it inside and out, smelled it again, and felt that the fragrance inside was very good, so she asked the eldest lady: "Auntie, how to sell this?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and said, "This is not expensive, ten cents a piece." ”

Not only is it not expensive, it is simply cheap!

Liang Yue lowered her head and carefully selected, with so many patterns, which one should she buy?

Su Yi asked curiously on the side, "What are you buying this for?" ”

Liang Yue didn't raise his head and replied casually: "Liang Zhun said that he likes this, and he asked me to make it for him a few days ago, but where will I do this, this is not coming out today, just buy one for him, although I didn't make it myself, but I spent my money to buy it myself." ”

Su Yi pursed her lips, quietly picked one up, and handed it to her: "That's it, this one looks good." ”

The sachet he took was embroidered with flowers on both sides, but the material was dark red, and it was hooked with yellow silk threads, which was really good-looking.

Liang Yue took it and sniffed it, and said happily: "Then buy this!" ”

Without waiting for her to call the maid to come and pay, Su Yi had already handed over a tael of silver to the eldest lady and said, "No need to look for it." ”

Liang Yue was stunned for a moment, looking at him inexplicably.

Su Yi said: "I bought one for you, and the gifts are still exchanged, should you also buy me one and give it to me?" ”

Liang Yue blinked, it seemed that it was right, it was always right to exchange courtesies. So she said generously: "Then you pick one yourself, and I'll pay for it." ”

As he spoke, he called the maid to come over, and waited for him to pick it out with his money bag.

Su Yi's eyes fell on one of the sachets embroidered with cross-necked mandarin ducks, motioned for Liang Yue to pick it up, and said, "That's it." ”

Liang Yue picked up the sachet, looked at it, and hesitated: "But ......"

"What?" Su Yi said first, as if she was afraid that she would refuse to regret it, and said, "You won't be so stingy that you can't even give up ten cents, right?" ”

Being provoked by him like this, Liang Yue really immediately said, "It's not." I mean, don't you think this one you've chosen is too ugly? What's so beautiful about the two birds, it's better to have flowers and plants. ”

The stall owner's aunt couldn't help but interject at this time: "Girl, I don't know ...... something."

But as soon as the words came out, the eldest lady felt a cold gaze fall on her, and when she looked up, Su Yizheng was frowning at her slightly. Apparently dissatisfied with her rash talking.

"Huh? What's wrong? Liang Yue asked curiously.

The eldest lady hurriedly retracted her gaze and changed her words with a smile: "In fact, the meaning of the mandarin duck on this is also excellent, the girl and the son have good vision, both good." ”

Liang Yue didn't doubt him, and happily handed over a tael of silver, learning from Su Yi and saying, "Take it, don't look for it." ”

After paying, Liang Yue put away the sachet embroidered with flowers, and then handed the sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks to Su Yi. "Okay, now you two will take it one by one."

Su Yi took it with a slight smile and put it in his arms in front of her.

"There is a hot noodle seller in front, do you want to eat it?" After taking two steps, Liang Yue saw the stall selling hot noodles again.

"You want to eat?" Su Yi asked her.

Liang Yue nodded: "I'm hungry." ”

"Then let's go." Su Yi smiled and agreed.

The two of them walked over, and there happened to be a small table empty, so Liang Yue walked over, and just as she wanted to sit down, the maid stepped forward to stop her.

The maid persuaded in a low voice: "No, princess, you see that this place is dirty and messy, what if you turn around and eat a bad stomach?" ”

Liang Yue was unhappy when she heard it, and she came and went, every time like this, it was annoying.

"I don't ask you to eat it myself, where are there so many things?" Liang Yue frowned.

The maid bit her lip and insisted: "The general explained before going out that you were not allowed to eat indiscriminately on the street." ”

As soon as she heard that it was Liang Zhun who explained, Liang Yue was deflated and said to Su Yi: "Then ...... otherwise"

Before he finished speaking, a rough voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Hey, I said little girl, do you want to sit down and eat?" If you don't eat, go away, don't you see that we have nowhere to sit! ”

The big man was holding the bowl in his hand, staring at her impatiently and yelling.

The maid immediately stepped forward to block Liang Yue and reprimanded, "Presumptuous! Boldly ...... the people"

"That's it!" Liang Yue stopped her, interrupted her, pulled Su Yi to the side, and let go of the table.

When the big man saw that she was so interested, he muttered, and sat down to eat.

Su Yi just looked at Liang Yue, and when she saw her like this, she was not annoyed, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Then I heard Liang Yue say helplessly to the maid: "Look at you one by one, every time you come out, I haven't said anything, you are in a hurry, just like just now, that person is so tall and strong, what if he beats you?" Yes, our identity is more noble than his, but identity can't be beaten for you, right? ”

The maid hung her head and honestly stopped talking.

Liang Yue sighed and said, "Forget it, you better go back, go back and see if Liang Zhun is back, if he goes back, call him to come to us." ”

Without waiting for the maid to speak again, Liang Yue had already begun to drive people away. "Go back quickly, there's Su Yi here anyway."

The maid had no choice but to reluctantly glance at Su Yi and leave.

"Alas, I wouldn't have brought anyone out if I had known. Next time, I will come out by myself, go wherever I like, and be more comfortable. Liang Yue sighed, feeling depressed.

Su Yi echoed her and said, "Well, next time I will come out with you, and I won't bring anyone else." After a pause, he asked, "I heard that all the girls here like to go boating on the lake, why don't we go too?" ”

"Swimming in the lake?" Liang Yue's eyes lit up and she immediately agreed. "Okay, okay, let's go rent a boat!"

There are many lakes in the Red Maple Country, among which the most famous in the Imperial City is this Qingsi Lake, although the whole lake area is not the largest, but it is the most beautiful environment. Weeping willows are planted on the shore, the lotus flowers in the lake bloom just right, the fish play among the lotus leaves in the water, the water of the whole lake is crystal clear, and because the lake water is verdant all year round, so it is named Qingsi Lake.

And "green silk" and "love" homonym, the meaning is excellent, is that many young girls and young boys like to come here to play, boating on the lake to enjoy the flowers and scenery to enjoy the beauty, is not happy.

Su Yi was lucky, although there was no big boat, but there was still a small boat with a canopy, so he immediately paid the rent and called Liangyue to get on the boat together.

"Please sit down, the boat is about to start!" The boatman gave a warning, and began to row the oars, and the boat drifted leisurely forward.

Liang Yue and Su Yi were both sitting on the bow of the boat, watching the boat float steadily on the water, Liang Yue looked very excited, kept looking left and right, and when she saw a small fish suddenly jumping on the water, she also let out a cry of surprise.

She was really happy, pointing to the fish that was swimming away quickly, and said to Su Yi excitedly: "Look at it!" It just jumped out! Swim so fast, so fast! ”

Su Yi was infected by her smile, and couldn't help but smile and asked, "Don't tell me that you have never come out on a boat?" ”

Liang Yue nodded, shook her head again, and said: "No, when Liang Zhun found out about it in the past, he would also take me out to take a boat to tour the lake, but he only took a big boat and didn't allow me to run around, which was very boring." It's the first time I've been swimming in a boat to watch the fish like today! ”

It's no wonder she's so excited.

Su Yi nodded clearly, and proposed to her again: "Then tomorrow, or when we have time in the future, we will take a small boat to swim in the lake, okay?" ”

Liang Yue wished that someone would take her out to play, hearing him take the initiative to say this, where would he not agree, she nodded quickly, and was afraid that he would regret it, and added: "Then you can't regret it, I remember everything you said, if you dare to regret it, I won't play with you in the future." ”

"Okay, no regrets." Su Yi looked at her, chuckled, and agreed.

The boat floated leisurely towards the center of the lake, and Liang Yue felt that her legs were a little numb after sitting for a long time, so she simply lay down on her back, her hands on her head, and her eyes stared at the blue sky.

Su Yi sat next to her, and when she saw that she suddenly stopped talking, she asked, "What's wrong?" Sleepy? ”

Liang Yue shook her head slightly, and suddenly asked him: "You are an envoy from Pingyue Kingdom, but why didn't your father summon you to the palace to discuss the matter of peace and marriage?" Didn't you say you wanted to be married? ”

Su Yi thought for a moment and explained to her: "Probably the two countries are still secretly competing with each other. It is said that he wants to be married, that is, he wants the princess of one country to marry to another country, but whether it is our Pingyue country or your Hongfeng country, they are unwilling to speak first, because once they open their mouths first, it means that the princess of this country will marry another country. No country lord is willing to let his daughter marry far away, let alone go to get married. ”

After listening to his words, Liang Yue suddenly asked him with a frightened face: "What do you mean, it's not that the princess of your country wants to marry into our Red Maple Country, but the princess of our Red Maple Country may also marry into your Pingyue Kingdom?!" ”

According to him, isn't she dangerous?

Red Maple Country is just a princess! Her father and queen mother have only one daughter......

Liang Yue suddenly felt in a bad mood.

Su Yi nodded, "It can be understood in this way." "And that's the truth, as for whether it is the princess and relatives of Pingyue Kingdom or the princess and relatives of Hongfeng Kingdom, it depends on the final decision of the two lords.

Seeing that she didn't speak again, Su Yi coughed lightly and asked her casually, "If yes...... I mean, if, in the end, it is the princess of your Red Maple Country, that is, you, who goes to marry and wants to marry our Pingyue Kingdom, are you willing to marry her? ”

Married......

This kind of thing is still very far away for Liang Yue herself. But after listening to Su Yi's words, Liang Yue had to think about it, if she really went to kiss herself in the end, would she be willing or unwilling?

The answer in my heart is naturally no.

So she shook her head and said with a little confusion: "If it is really me, of course I don't want to." ”

"Why?"

Liang Yue glanced at him and said, "You think, I don't even know who the person I want to marry is, I haven't seen him, I don't know him, I don't know what he looks like, what kind of temperament he is, how old he is, whether he looks good or not, whether there is a concubine room or something in the family, I don't know any of this, how can I be willing?" If you were to marry a stranger, would you be willing? ”

Without waiting for Su Yi to speak, she continued: "Besides, I am from the Red Maple Country, I grew up in the Red Maple Country since I was a child, but because I want to be close, I have to marry far away from other countries, the customs and habits are different, and I am not familiar with the past marriage, and I don't know any friends, I don't know anyone to play with me, if I am locked in the house and not let me go out, then I will not be suffocated at home?" It's scary to think about. ”

"......" Su Yi was rarely silent.

"Also, I can't bear my father and mother, and my brothers, although my royal brothers don't take me to play with me, they love me very much and will protect me. and Liang Zhun, in addition to his father, mother, and brother, the person I am most reluctant to do is him. If I really marry into your Pingyue Kingdom, then he will not die sadly. I can't bear to make him sad. In the end, Liang Yue's tone was a little gloomy.

Su Yi also pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Then the boatman asked, "Childe, girl, it is getting late, but you want to return to shore?" ”

Su Yi said: "Come to the shore, we should go back." ”

The boatman answered, and began to paddle toward the shore.

As soon as the boat docked, before Liang Yue and Su Yi had come ashore, they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, as well as the familiar neighing sound of Liang Yue.

"It's Liang Zhun, why did he only come now?" Liang Yue's expression was overjoyed, and she pulled Su Yi and walked in the direction where the sound of horses' hooves came from.

As soon as Liang Zhun returned to the General's Mansion, he was told by the maid that Liang Yue and Su Yi had gone out together. Did he hear this? So he hurriedly rode over, for fear that his stupid princess would be coaxed by Su Yi if he was one step too late.

Seeing Liang Yue and Su Yi standing side by side waiting for him to come over, Liang Zhun was very unhappy, but because Liang Yue was also there, he was not good at attacking, so he turned over and dismounted neatly, and pulled Liang Yue over.

"What's the matter with you? Forgot all the promises you made to me? Didn't you say I'd come out with you when I came back? "Liang Zhun felt very uncomfortable.

Liang Yue stuck out her tongue at him and explained in a low voice, "I haven't forgotten. Really, but he did me a great favor and made my father promise me to be free to leave the palace! Originally, he came out and invited him to eat as a reward, but after a whole day, before the meal was eaten, it was dark. ”

"That's it? Nothing else? Liang Zhun obviously didn't believe it.

Liang Yue hurriedly promised: "Really, really, that's it." It's just so that you're back, so why don't the three of us go to dinner together? How about going to Caiyun Tower? ”

She didn't forget Su Yi and asked him, "Are you hungry?" Let's go to Caiyun Tower for dinner, how about it? ”

Su Yi nodded in agreement.

So Liang Yue looked at Liang Zhun, "You are talking." ”

Although Liang Zhun was reluctant to have Su Yi follow, it was obvious that Liang Yue had already regarded Su Yi as a friend, and if he didn't wait to see Su Yi, Liang Yue would have to be angry with him again.

Alas...... Momentary negligence......

Liang Zhun complained in his heart, but he nodded immediately, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Liang Yue was satisfied and took the lead in the front.

Su Yi followed closely.

Liang Zhun, who was half a step slower because of leading the horse: "Su Yi of the ...... Ya"! You're so obvious! How dare you start digging into my corner in front of me?!

In Caiyun Tower, Liang Zhun turned his anger into a drink, and poured Su Yi into a glass of wine, of course, he drank more himself. In the end, I thought the wine glass was too small, so I simply put together a jar of wine for one person and put together the amount of wine.

Liang Yue watched from the sidelines, frightened and inexplicable at the same time: just to have a meal, the two of them haven't drunk alcohol in eight lifetimes?

Seeing that the two of them were drunk on their faces, Liang Yue hurriedly stopped Liang Zhun and forbade him to drink any more.

Seeing this, Su Yi lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, raised his head and was about to pour wine into his mouth, when suddenly his hand was empty-Liang Yue snatched the wine in his hand, frowned and said, "I said don't drink anymore, don't you hear or understand?" ”

Liang Zhun was already a little drunk, and when he saw that she was angry, he stretched out one arm to her shoulder and carried it, and smiled with her with a flattering smile on his face: "Okay Xiaoqi, don't be angry, we won't drink, we won't drink." ”

"A smell of wine." Liang Yue covered her nose in disgust, but she didn't push him away, allowing him to rest with her eyes closed on her body.

After a while, a slight snoring sounded, and Liang Yue turned her head in surprise to see that Liang Zhun was actually asleep leaning on her like this.

Su Yi pinched his eyebrows and said to Liang Yue: "Give him to me, I'm afraid you won't be able to help him." ”

Liang Yue thought about it and felt that what Su Yi said was right, so she stood up and asked Su Yi to help Liang Zhun up, and asked him uneasily, "Are you okay?" You also drank a lot, but you weren't drunk? ”

Su Yi helped Liang Zhun and glanced at her: "I have a good amount of alcohol." ”

"Uh-oh." Liang Yue observed the words and found that Su Yi's face was very unsightly at this time, so she didn't say much.

Su Yi helped Liang Zhun to walk in front, Liang Yue followed closely behind, and the three of them slowly returned to the house, and after settling Liang Zhun, Su Yi and Liang Yue withdrew together.

"Thank you just now." Liang Yue thanked him for Liang Zhun.

Su Yi's face sank even more, he didn't even look at her, and walked straight to his yard.

After walking a few steps, he found that Liang Yue didn't follow, so he stopped again, turned around and frowned and asked her, "Don't you go back to sleep yet?" ”

Liang Yue wanted to go in again to see Liang Zhun, but when Leng Bu heard him ask, she stopped thinking and followed slowly.

Su Yi frowned and looked at her, suddenly feeling extremely unhappy.

And Liang Yue, who was still secretly wondering why he was suddenly angry, suddenly felt a little cold around him, and when he looked up, he saw Su Yi's cold face at this time, he had never seen anyone angry, his face was so cold and terrible, Liang Yue couldn't help but be a little scared, and took a small step back.

At this time, Su Yi's heart was even more unhappy: "You are afraid of me? ”

Liang Yue wrung her fingers and decided that the hero would not suffer the loss in front of him, so she said: "No, no, it's just that the smell of wine on your body is too strong, I'm afraid that if you get close, you will also be drunk." ”

Su Yi was still dissatisfied: "Then you were in the restaurant just now, and let him sleep by you." ”

Liang Yue glanced at him and muttered in a low voice: "How can a big man be entangled in such small things, besides, it's not the same......"

Su Yi continued to ask: "Why is it different?" ”

Is it because Liang Zhun is the person she likes, and he is just a friend who has just met?

Su Yi suddenly felt that the wine in his stomach was a little sour.

Liang Yue looked at him inexplicably, thinking to herself, you are the general of Pingyue Kingdom, and Liang Zhun is a relative like her imperial brother to her, between the two, it can't be the same as death.

It was because Liangyue felt very inexplicable, and felt that Su Yi, who was drunk, was a little unreasonable, so he lost his patience, simply gave him a roll of his eyes, and turned around and left.
