Chapter Twenty-Four: Avoid Like a Snake and Scorpion
"This king thought that you had been wronged in the mansion and ran back to the Hou Mansion to complain." Under the moonlight, Ouyang Huaiyu was dressed in plain clothes, with his hands around his chest, leaning against the side of the courtyard door.
Xia Zhixue couldn't resist her father, and only returned to the palace after dinner in the Hou Mansion, thinking that the night was dark, and it was good to go back to the house quietly, but she didn't know that this person appeared at the door of her courtyard, which scared her.
The moonlight is cold tonight, the courtyard is a few days ago, she watched the unknown flowers bloom well in the backyard, and ordered the lotus flowers to be transplanted, and the evening breeze blew at night, bursting with fragrance.
During the day, the Hou Mansion ran back and forth, and dealt with the guy at home, which made her tired and had a backache, and she didn't have the heart to go against him and chant poems against him, Xia Zhixue bypassed him and said lightly: "The prince said he was laughing."
Ouyang Huaiyu grabbed her and inadvertently floated over the cuffs in his hand: "This king is a tiger?" Or a viper? Can you eat it? Why do you need to guard against this king like this? Won't even say a word? ”
He naturally knew that she went home during the day only because someone called her, and the lotus returned to him early in the morning, and he just found an excuse to come and take a look.
Since the incident of Hibiscus Garden, the two of them have been like having a disagreement. In addition to the morning and dusk, I saw her only three times a day, and she followed Xia Zhiqiu with her eyebrows lowered.
He punished her that day, selfishly letting her know that this world is unfair, and her way of doing things should be changed.
How do you know that she avoids him like a femme fatale now?
Xia Zhixue settled down, sighed, and turned around: "Lord Wang, please forgive Zhixue for offending you somewhere, you look at my words and deeds every day, and I can't wait for me to be full of loopholes."
Ouyang Huaiyu never thought that she would think like this in her heart, and her face sank: "This king is so unbearable in your eyes?"
In the end, it is the prince, where does he have such idle time every day to hold on to irrelevant people?
How can this man be so haunted? Dealing with the blood-sucking cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods in the Hou Mansion had already exhausted her physically and mentally, so why did he bother to oppose him everywhere.
In this way, she made everything clear to him today, so that she would not have any worries in the future.
Xia Zhixue moved in front of him, although her body was tired, her eyes were clear: "Lord Wang, I have never thought of overstepping. As you said, my sister and I have never befriended me, and she doesn't like me, so I won't rush to please her. If you selfishly want to vent your evil anger for your sister, you don't have to, I have never thought about fighting with my sister for something, I would rather demolish ten temples than break a marriage, besides, the marriage given by your emperor's brother is to lend me ten more guts, I don't dare. ”
Her words are half-truths and half-falses, Ouyang Huaiyu is not a stupid person, I want to understand what she meant.
That's right, Ouyang Huaiyu not only understood what she meant, but also understood that she had always regarded him as a trouble.
Ouyang Huaiyu smiled angrily, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly: "Very good, Xia Zhixue, you are very good."
Leaving only one sentence, he brushed his sleeves away.
"Third Miss, what's the matter?" Where the wall on the right was blocked, someone came out, and the lotus looked at Xia Zhixue, with thoughts in her eyes that she couldn't understand, sighed, and put the shawl in her hand on for her: "It's cold at night, girl watch out for your body."
"Lotus, your master has always been so moody?" Tightening the clothes on her body, Xia Zhixue was helped into the house by the lotus.
The lotus replied: "The slave and maid know that the people outside say that our prince is the most amorous and the most moody, and a subordinate says that he will give death, but what they don't know is that the subordinate does everything to steal chickens and dogs."
Xia Zhixue said softly: "I see."
Lotus continued: "No matter what others think, I only think that our prince is the best person in the world. Once upon a time, Hua Cheng's mother next to the prince died, and the prince gave Hua Cheng a lot of silver at once, just ask him to make proper arrangements and come back. ”
"Squeak-" sounded, and the cold was shut out.
……
"Is what Mother said true?" On this day, Xia Zhiqiu returned to the Hou Mansion and was dragged into the house by the Su family.
Xia Huaiqing only saw the mother and daughter for many days, and she missed her deeply, so she went out to find Master Li to eat and drink.
Su Shi carried the jade hairpin he had just gotten a few days ago on his head, and his eyes were full of disdain: "That's nature, when did your mother lie to you."
She added fuel and vinegar to Xia Zhixue's scenery in the Hou Mansion a few days ago, and told Xia Zhiqiu one by one.
At the end, he stretched out his hand and attached his daughter's hand: "This girl is not visible on weekdays, how can she know that she is so thoughtful?" really followed her mother's slut look. ”
Xia Zhiqiu frowned: "I always feel that Xia Zhixue has been wrong since the last inkstone." In the past, I listened to everything without saying anything, at least I listened to seven or eight things, but now she always seems to be guarding against me. ”
Su Shi felt that something was wrong: "Didn't she know something?"
"Impossible," Xia Zhiqiu shook his head: "At that time, she was just a child, her brain was stupid, she had not been enlightened, where did she know about things between adults." Besides, she trusted me the most at that time, and my mother didn't want to scare herself. ”
"No matter what, now that the two of you are not in the palace, the prince is selfishly towards you, this is a good opportunity." Su Shi reminded her.
Xia Zhiqiu didn't know where to go, but it was just that she couldn't pry her too heavily because of the prince.
"Qiu'er," Su Shi's eyes were gentle: "Mother's hope is all on you, your brother is now grounded, and I don't know what will happen in the future, but you are different, you are the one who wants to be the princess, my mother has been suffering half of her life, and she only thinks about my son and can enjoy happiness."
Gently stroking Xia Zhiqiu's face, Su Shi had the appearance of being a mother.
Xia Zhiqiu's heart moved, and he comforted the Su family: "Mother rest assured, this princess's position belongs to her daughter, this is a marriage given by the emperor, who dares to disobey the will?"
After listening to his daughter's words, Su put his heart in his stomach.
It's not that she has too many concerns, but that she is not the original wife of the main wife, nor is she a serious continuation, she has gone from a concubine to the position of being a housewife, no wonder she is always uneasy.
Xia Zhiqiu went to his younger brother to ask for a second thought, and forgave Shen Wei again, and then got up and went back to the palace.
"Sister," Xia Chengdao lay on the bed, his back was still not healed, and Shen Wei often lost his temper, he dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak: "You sit down, I have something to say to you."
"You say." Xia Zhiqiu sat down again.
"I see that Xia Zhixue is not like a dull person, you have to be more careful in the palace."
Not to mention that Xia Chengdao is the most hypocritical, a few days ago, he begged Xia Zhixue to save him with a good sister, and now he has come to arrange her again.
Xia Zhiqiu nodded: "Mother has already told me that you can relax and recuperate." You've grown up like this, don't let your mother worry about it anymore, now that you have this board, your father is so big with you, you can be more restrained. ”
"I know," Xia Chengdao smiled: "But sister, let me tell you, the daughter of the protector is really good-looking......"
Xia Chengdao talked about cheating during that time.
