Chapter 340
The maid beside her whispered: "Miss, the slave maid has inquired, and His Royal Highness King Jing came back and confessed to the emperor, and then ran to the tent to see the girl in blue." β
"Lord Wang, doesn't he even care about hunting?" It took Zhang Yan a long time to speak in a low voice, and there was a thick unwillingness in her tone.
She took so much effort to get the blue clothes away, she thought that today was the death date of that cheap maid, but she didn't expect that her life would be so big, not only did she not die, but she also provoked His Royal Highness King Jing to put down all these people and go to visit her in the tent alone!
The hand hidden under the sleeve clenched tightly, and the nail painted with bright red dancome was broken due to the pressure, and there was a crunch sound that no one could hear. The maid beside Zhang Yan heard it clearly, and she said a little anxiously: "Miss, don't torture yourself anymore!" Wait a minute, if the emperor announces that you will go up, what will you do! β
It's okay if your nails are broken, but if your fingers are broken and bleeding, it's bad.
"Use your mouth!" Zhang Yan reprimanded the maid fiercely, but the clenched palms slowly opened.
She can't admit defeat, and she is obviously loved by the Queen Mother. The person who can stand by his side openly is herself, why should she be afraid?
It's just a servant, does she really need to care? Wouldn't this lower himself and elevate the identity of that maid? She had to be calm!
Zhang Yan understood in her heart, and slowly relaxed herself, but for some reason, her heart was getting more and more painful......
And Wang Yanfei, who was standing not far away, was not much better than Zhang Yan.
A Zhang Yan is already difficult to deal with, why does her brother Jing still love a servant girl so much? Leaving everyone behind and going to accompany one person is not like his style!
But no matter how much she denied it, it was true.
In Xuanyuan Jingxi's heart, is there still a place for her? Wang Yanfei's heart was in pain, and she couldn't wait to rush over to him immediately to ask him for a clear understanding!
But she stood there and didn't move.
Zhang Yan didn't move, why did she move? Make wedding garments for others. Wang Yanfei never bothered to do it.
The welcome party to welcome the emperor was held very smoothly, except that Xuanyuan Jingxi was not present. The real hunting tournament doesn't start until the afternoon.
When Gu Ruoxi woke up, the sun was already in the west, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a person lying on her stomach in front of her bed, with a jade crown and ink robe, and black hair like a waterfall. It's not Xuanyuan Jingxi, but who is it?
"Are you awake?" Almost as soon as Gu Ruoxi moved, Xuanyuan Jingxi woke up, and when he saw that Gu Ruoxi had opened his eyes, an ecstatic expression suddenly appeared on his face.
Gu Ruoxi nodded, let Xuanyuan Jingxi help her up, put a pillow behind her, poured another cup of tea and handed it to her.
"Wasn't the hunt this afternoon? Why didn't you go
οΌ Gu Ruoxi took a sip of tea and asked.
Xuanyuan Jingxi smiled and said: "I participate in hunting every year, this king is tired of it, and it just so happens that you are also sick, so this king reluctantly stays to take care of you." β
Although Xuanyuan Jingxi said reluctantly, Gu Ruoxi still saw a trace of concern in his eyes. She couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.
"You're really, why were you plotted?" Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at her and sighed and said, "Is it possible that this king will have to be protected by some people by your side in the future?" β
Gu Ruoxi heard this. smiled stiffly and said, "No need! Today's incident happened suddenly, I didn't expect that in front of everyone's eyes, those people dared to do it, I was careless, and there will be no second time. β
Joke! If she really promised Xuanyuan Jingxi to intervene by her side, then how could she open a shop? How do I get back to Kageba? She doesn't want her identity to be exposed!
"Why doesn't this king believe what you say?" Xuanyuan Jingxi squinted his eyes and glanced at Gu Ruoxi, as if he was smiling.
Gu Ruoxi did not answer.
Xuanyuan Jingxi stood up, reached out and stroked her sideburns, and said, "You should be hungry too, sit down first, and I'll go see if Ziyi has finished the meal." β
As soon as he left, Gu Ruoxi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached out in the quilt and stroked the place where her waist was pierced, the scar was very small, she almost couldn't feel it, but there was still a trace of pain in that place, and she didn't know who the maid who deliberately hit her was, she actually recognized the acupoint so accurately, and it was by no means a simple character to have such a maid.
Is it Wang Yanfei or Zhang Yan?
Gu Ruoxi didn't know. These two women also like Xuanyuan Jingxi, but she is the woman that Xuanyuan Jingxi has always taken with her, and they get along day and night, so it's no wonder that those two people are jealous because of this.
Gu Ruoxi was a little helpless, she didn't want to go to Xuanyuan Jingxi's side at all, but she still became the object of envy of all the women, she was really wronged.
Just thinking about it, the footsteps at the door started, Gu Ruoxi hurriedly put away the expression on his face, and the next moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi personally came in from outside with a tray, and there were two dishes and one soup on it, the soup was fragrant chicken soup, but the dishes were made plain according to Gu Ruoxi's dietary preferences.
"I know you don't like to eat greasy, but you have just been poisoned and your body is weak, so you should make up for it." Xuanyuan Jingxi put the food on the bedside table and said to Gu Ruoxi. In the end, he seemed to be afraid that she would not be happy, and explained: "This chicken soup is also very light, and the purple clothes have specially skimmed off the oil, you can taste it." "He was bleeding.
Gu Ruoxi stretched out her head to take a look, and saw that the chicken soup was not oily, and it smelled very good, she nodded suddenly, Xuanyuan Jingxi took out a bowl, she brought it over and slowly scooped it with a spoon and drank it.
A bowl of chicken soup was served, Gu Ruoxi saw that Xuanyuan Jingxi was still standing on the side and looking at her, she immediately asked, "Lord Wang, have you eaten?"
οΌ β
"Nope. I'll eat it when you're done. Xuanyuan Jingxi said honestly.
Gu Ruoxi: "......"
How did she feel that the positions of the two people were reversed?
"Lord Wang, I can't finish so many dishes, so it's better for you to eat together. When the dish is served, it will be cold. Gu Ruoxi pondered. As she spoke, she also quietly looked at Xuanyuan Jingxi's expression.
"Okay." Xuanyuan Jingxi did not hesitate, asked Ziyi to add a bowl of rice for himself, and sat opposite Gu Ruoxi to eat, but Gu Ruoxi, who was accustomed to it, was slightly surprised.
This prince ...... You're welcome!
After the meal, Ziyi boiled another cup of medicine, and Gu Ruoxi pinched his nose and drank it. Xuanyuan Jingxi waited for her to finish drinking, then handed over a plate of candied plums, and Gu Ruoxi twisted one and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ziyi looked at it from the side, and couldn't help but feel funny, these two people in front of him, who is the prince and who is the maid? If the Queen Mother sees it, she has to drive them out!
However, this kind of thing will never reach the ears of the Queen Mother and her old man.
Ziyi smiled, turned around and waited outside.
But as soon as she came out of the tent, she saw a group of people coming together, and the first person was Zhang Yan.
Ziyi was startled, hurriedly retreated into the tent in three steps and two steps, and reported the news to Xuanyuan Jingxi.
"You and Mo Yun are outside and don't allow anyone to come in, so you say that no one will see this king!" The cold words represented the meaning of Xuanyuan Jingxi, he sat there, holding the plate of candied plums in his hand, without raising his head, and while speaking, he also picked up one and stuffed it into Gu Ruoxi's mouth.
Ziyi looked at his appearance, sighed and said, "Lord Wang, you don't know what Miss Zhang is like, I'm afraid the slave won't be able to stand it." So saying, he withdrew.
Xuanyuan Jingxi was still indifferent, but Gu Ruoxi couldn't calm down, although she didn't know much about Zhang Yan, but she knew that this person would definitely not like herself, she took the sugar-soaked plum in Xuanyuan Jingxi's hand, and said, "Lord Wang, you better go out and have a look!" It's your fiancΓ©e, how embarrassing it is to eat behind closed doors! β
"You're speaking for her?" Xuanyuan Jingxi's face suddenly lengthened.
Gu Ruoxi swallowed the plum in his mouth and said, "No? It's just that everyone is a young lady in the end, and the prince always has to give people a thin face! As he spoke, he smiled.
"Humph! Miss Bullshit! Even a woman from a poor family is not as good as doing things! Xuanyuan Jingxi heard her mention Zhang Yan, and immediately became angry. If this woman dares to calculate his people behind his back, then she must know the price in advance!
Gu Ruoxi hurriedly stretched out a hand to cover Xuanyuan Jingxi's mouth: "Can you not be so loud?" People are outside, and you're going to get into trouble if you say that! β
Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at her without blinking, and suddenly grabbed Gu Ruoxi's hand covering his mouth fiercely
Kiss it hard, then let go.
The warm and soft touch in the palm of her hand suddenly made Gu Ruoxi tremble, her old face turned red, and before she could scold Xuanyuan Jingxi, she had already turned around and walked out: "You just stay inside, I'll go out and send her away." β
Gu Ruoxi glared fiercely at the back of Xuanyuan Jingxi leaving. This person always takes advantage of her! Whether she's Gu Ruoxi or Blue!
Outside the tent, as soon as Xuanyuan Jingxi walked out, he felt a soft thing coming into his arms, and he shook it off. After that, he saw Zhang Yan standing three feet away.
"Whew......" The thing fell to the ground, and suddenly let out a low cry, which attracted Xuanyuan Jingxi's attention, he looked down, only to see that it was a wolf cub the size of two palms, covered in white hair, with dark eyes, and it looked extremely cute. It's just that at this moment, it was treated inhumanely, and the hairs all over its body stood up, glaring at Xuanyuan Jingxi viciously.
Zhang Yan's smile was gentle, like a spring flower: "Lord Wang, this is the prey that my eldest brother shot today, because this wolf cub is beautiful, he gave it to me, thinking that Lord Wang, you don't have time to go to the hunting ground today, so I will take it over to see you." β
Facing his fiancΓ©e, Xuanyuan Jingxi finally didn't feel as impatient as he did with Wang Yanfei, he replied lightly: "Now that you have seen the person, please go back." β
Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at her fixedly for a long time, and said in a low voice: "What if I don't want to let go?" β
Gu Ruoxi's mind suddenly became confused, she always felt that Xuanyuan Jingxi's words meant something, did he not want to let go of her hand, or was it her person?
But themselves. Can you respond to his tenderness?
Gu Ruoxi remembered his identity, remembered the grievances and grievances between the Gu family and the royal family, and the panic and heartbeat on his face gradually became calm. She pulled her hand back forcefully, and said lightly: "Lord Wang, the poison in my body has been resolved, and now there is nothing to do, I better go back to my tent to rest!" With that, she lifted the quilt on her body and prepared to get out of bed, she was lying in her clothes, and there was nothing to avoid at the moment.
Xuanyuan Jingxi saw that her attitude was so cold, the tenderness and hope in his eyes slowly turned cold, he nodded, stood up from the chair and said, "I asked Ziyi to come in and help you." He said. Turned around and strode out.
After a while, Ziyi came in from outside, and she saw that Gu Ruoxi had already put on her shoes, and hurriedly took a snow-white fox cloak to put it on for Gu Ruoxi: "It's cold outside at night, you have just been poisoned again, so be careful!" Ming'er has typhoid fever again, and our prince won't go hunting! β
"This cloak belongs to the prince?" Gu Ruoxi asked.
Ziyi nodded and said, "This is a cloak made of a silver fox fur that the prince hunted last year, and the prince said at that time that he was going to give it to his future princess." Unexpectedly, today he actually called to fetch ......"
Before she finished speaking, Gu Ruoxi hurriedly stretched out her hand
When he wanted to take off the cloak on his body, Ziyi hurriedly stopped him and asked in a low voice, "Blue Yi!" Don't be ignorant! β
"Why don't I know what's wrong?" Gu Ruoxi's voice was also a little colder: "When the prince sent the cloak over, did he ask my opinion?" Who says I have to wear this? As he spoke, he took off his cloak, threw it into the purple hand, turned around and strode out.
But as soon as she took a step, she saw a man standing at the door of the tent, his face expressionless.
"Lord Wang, the slave can't persuade the blue cloth......" The purple cloth came forward and blessed Xuanyuan Jingxi, then handed the cloak to Xuanyuan Jingxi, sighed and retreated.
There were only two people left in the tent looking at each other.
"Why don't you wear this cape?" After a long time, Xuanyuan Jingxi asked.
Gu Ruoxi smiled mockingly and said, "Ziyi said that this fox fur cloak was prepared by you, Lord Wang, for the future princess. That's Miss Zhang's stuff, how can I wear it? Spread it out tomorrow, didn't I offend Miss Zhang? β
"If you're afraid of offending her, aren't you afraid of offending me?" Xuanyuan Jingxi's voice became louder.
Gu Ruoxi didn't have the slightest fear, she knew what Xuanyuan Jingxi's weakness was, and said lightly at the moment: "Lord Wang, what do you want to do?" It's fun to hold me up so high and then become someone else's target, isn't it? β
"I just want to be nice to you. Is this also wrong? Xuanyuan Jingxi's face had a hint of pain on his face.
Gu Ruoxi seemed very calm: "Then, Lord Wang, you have found the wrong person, Miss Zhang is the person you should love." With that, she didn't look at Xuanyuan Jingxi again, turned around and walked out.
Xuanyuan Jingxi stretched out his hand and scooped her into his arms, staring at her tightly, gritting his teeth and saying, "What is your heart made of?" Why is it so cold and unforgiving? β
"My heart is a stinky and hard stone, don't bother with it." Gu Ruoxi said lightly, she didn't struggle, the iron arm holding her was like steel, and she couldn't break free: "Lord Wang, can you let go of me now?" β
Xuanyuan Jingxi looked at Gu Ruoxi without blinking. As if he wanted to see her heart, he turned a deaf ear to what she said. Although the woman in front of her was disfigured, she was not the one she remembered, but the smell on her body and her eyes were so familiar......
The ghost sent the gods, Xuanyuan Jingxi lowered his head and leaned towards the two fragrant lips, as if he was enchanted......
Gu Ruoxi wanted to struggle, but Xuanyuan Jingxi held the back of her head with one hand, she couldn't move at all, she was horrified in her heart, but she didn't know what to say at this time to stop Xuanyuan Jingxi, it seemed that saying anything would increase his anger......
Just as the two lips were getting closer and closer, a loud voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Lord Wang! Tonight, I made a flower chicken according to the recipe that the blue coat said, but it is fragrant! β
The sound landed, and the ink cloud lifted out from outside
The curtain walked in, and when he saw the scene in the house, he was so frightened that he almost fell back, and it took him a long time to react, and he hurriedly said haha: "Lord, you continue, continue to ......" said, turned around and ran out like a rabbit.
Go on, how to go on! The atmosphere is all broken, okay?
The corners of Xuanyuan Jingxi's mouth twitched, and he reluctantly let go of Gu Ruoxi, and then turned around and walked out in stride.
Gu Ruoxi breathed a sigh of relief, she stood there stunned for a while, turned her head to look at the fox fur cloak that had just been thrown on the ground by Xuanyuan Jingxi, sighed and walked out.
Outside, sure enough, it was already night, and the cold wind hit, and Gu Ruoxi suddenly shivered.
Without hesitation, she turned around and walked towards the tent where she and Ziyi lived, and when she entered, she found that Ziyi was not inside.
Take off her shoes, get into bed, cover the quilt, all the actions in one go, Gu Ruoxi wrapped her whole body like a hedgehog, covered with hidden thorns.
She is just a soul from this world, it is her fate to protect her family, eat and wait for death, as for these princes and princes, she can still stay away! All of them are like human spirits, how can she calculate them? Don't be sold by someone at that time, but also help people count money.
Although the family she wants to protect is not the so-called 'family' who has insisted until now, Gu Ruoxi no longer knows why she is doing this, maybe it's a habit?
She didn't know.
β¦β¦
The next day, Xuanyuan Jingxi finally went to participate in the hunt, because Gu Ruoxi had recovered as before, and he had no reason not to participate in the hunt.
When the news got out, many people were boiling.
Xuanyuan Shu immediately went to find the third prince Xuanyuan Yu, and said arrogantly: "Third brother, you were able to win the first place yesterday, it was because the Seventh Emperor Uncle did not participate!" That's a fluke, Uncle Seven Emperors are here today, you have to be careful! Don't lose too badly and become a ......"
