Chapter 281: Reaping the Consequences
By the time the feast was over, it was already the middle of the moon.
The hour was not early, and the ministers had dispersed one after another, and the important people of various countries were escorted back by the officials of the Qi State and their own guards.
Because the banquet lasts for three days, no one is in a hurry to do so.
Today, Lu Nong only said some scenes, and everyone had a hunch that he might make a move in the next two words.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
The imperial palace of Qi is very large, and there are many carriages and horses to go back. On a quiet night, the sound of the wheels of the car is distinct.
Ning Ze was staring at Zhao Huanting almost from beginning to end at this banquet.
also let almost everyone see his "deep affection" for him.
If others don't understand, can Zhao Huanting still not understand?
Not to mention that he didn't bring Qi Shu over for some reason, just based on his performance at the banquet today, he knew that he was deliberately confusing the public.
On the one hand, he didn't bring Qi Shu over in order not to let other people's attention focus on her, on the other hand, there was news that Zhao and Wei were going to marry before, and I heard that Qi Guo intended to pull Zhao Guo as an ally, the more Ning Ze showed his closeness to him, the more he could arouse the suspicion of the people around him. In fact, it is nothing more than a vague practice.
If Zhao and Wei really have something, Qi will not necessarily pull them into the Zhao State.
Zhao Huanting didn't show anything unusual, because he knew that with Qi Guo's arrogant appearance, he would definitely not take Zhao Guo in his eyes, and he just wanted to include him as his vassal country.
If he is strong enough, how can he be willing to be driven by others.
So Zhao Huanting also cooperated with Ning Ze's performance, as if the two of them really had something.
It's just that I don't know what Qi Shu's thoughts were after he went back yesterday, and he didn't seem to know what Ning Ze looked like today.
So he was still a little relieved in his heart, he believed that he didn't believe the wrong person, and Qi Shu was bound to hide this secret from everyone.
Even though Zhao Huanting knew that he was very dangerous this time, he still did not regret doing so.
He felt that if he hadn't told Qi Shu his true mood in his life, then he would definitely regret it.
In every hesitation, he lost the opportunity to get closer to Qi Shu.
If he doesn't explain his true identity as a man, it is estimated that Qi Shu will not be able to do that in this life, and it is impossible to have such feelings for him.
Heavy shadows cast under the high palace walls, and the rustling of the leaves made my mind uneasy, and I let go of my hand to lift the curtain of the carriage.
In a trance, he seemed to find that Ning Ze's carriage had just crossed by him.
Catch up?!
Such an idea suddenly popped up in Zhao Huanting's head. But then he denied it.
What to do when you catch up? Catch up and ask Qi Shu something?
Yesterday they were entangled in such an ambiguous posture, Ning Ze must have been very wary of him.
But he wanted to ask and look for it, but he was worried that he would see Ning Ze and her very close again.
When had he been so far away from her?
After all, Zhao Huanting did not tell the coachman to catch up with Ning Ze's carriage, but let the coachman continue to drive slowly and carefully.
It seemed like it was such a long road that he didn't even want to reach the end.
If all lovers can't end up married, then can they always walk on the road of dependence and companionship?
Zhao Huanting's mood was very low, and Ning Ze was the opposite of him.
Ming Ze was very happy and happy, and returned to the post house in a carriage.
Today's banquet was passed without incident, and all the effects he should have shown and what he wanted to receive were also very much in line with his expectations.
So much so that on the way back, he figured it out, no matter how indifferent and resistant Qi Shu was to him next, he didn't care.
Anyway, now they are a legitimate couple. How? Can Qi Shu still be separated from him?
It is a natural thing for a husband to be close to his wife, there is nothing offensive or not offensive, anyway, Qi Shu will have to go through this sooner or later, isn't it?
It was these words that successfully moved Ning Ze himself, so that when he returned to Qi Shu's side, he was still very happy.
It's a pity that the distance from the palace to the post house is not very far, so Ning Ze's pleasure didn't last long.
Happiness and sorrow may be a very suitable way to describe his current mood.
Because, Qi Shu moved out of the room where he originally lived with him, and lived in another room by himself.
When he learned the news, he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
But the facts did not allow him to refuse.
Qi Shu was so determined to part with him that there were dozens of big locks on the door of his room, I don't know where Jing got it.
The lock is so strong that it can't be opened.
Ning Ze must have tapped the door and pulled the zipper, but there was not even a sound in the room.
He couldn't help but shout worriedly, "Ah Shu, what's wrong with you?" ”
Why ignore him? Why not get him back? Why lock yourself in your room?
But Qi Shu just held his breath, but he didn't want to pay attention to him.
After thinking about it, I still don't feel at ease, even though it's already night, it shouldn't be a problem to call a guard to smash the door.
Just when Ning Ze really planned to do this, Mo Zhu finally couldn't stand it.
In her opinion, Ning Ze annoyed Miss, and Miss should want to live alone, and Ning Ze should not be coerced to this point.
"Lord, please listen to the slave, Miss has already said, I don't see anyone, I don't listen to anything, and I sleep in a separate room with the prince, so it's more convenient, and I don't need the prince to take care of the young lady anymore."
Mo Zhu's words were very cold, but Ning Ze could imagine how cold Qi Shu's expression was when he said this.
Sighing helplessly, thinking about last night, the soft jade in his arms, the fragrant smell, the sweet taste, the feeling of his fingertips touching her skin.
It's addictive.
It's not like when he was in the Wei Kingdom, let alone in the Qi Mansion, if he was in the Qi Mansion, he would be able to climb over the wall.
It's a pity that now this is the Qi country, and he can't climb over the wall.
But obviously Ning Ze still refuses to give up, in case Qi Shu changes his mind, this is also possible, isn't it?
"I'm not going to break in, you go down first." Let go of her maid first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to say some things.
Mo Zhu glanced at Ning Ze very suspiciously, but because of his identity, she didn't dare to question too much.
After thinking about it, he shook his head and went down.
The other guards who were guarding next to him were also sent away by him.
Ning Ze's original room was on the east side, while Qi Shu moved to the westernmost and farthest room from his room.
Ning Ze went to the banquet without knowing that Qi Shu was carried out of his room.
Of course, no guard saw her embarrassed look.
The princess couldn't get out of bed after tossing the princess, if this spread out, where would her face go?
Therefore, she was really angry and angry this time, angry that Ning Ze shouldn't have done this to her.
Maybe it was because the two of them often stayed together some time ago, so Qi Shu had to admit that he seemed to feel a little lonely when he left him, but then he denied himself.
Lying alone on a strange cold bed, although the surroundings were cleaned to the dust, the plain smell of the air still made her feel a little unaccustomed.
Yes, I'm really not used to it.
I'm not used to it, I'm not used to Ning Ze by my side, I'm not used to no one chattering in my ear, I'm not used to no one playing with my hair, pinching my cheek to show closeness.
It turns out that habits can also be addictive.
Since Qi Shu woke up, he hasn't closed his eyes again, and his head has been thinking wildly, tossing and turning.
In fact, she had already heard the commotion that Ning Ze made when he came back.
It is also very sensitive.
She was also so nervous that she was so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
Next to her pillow are all sorts of keys.
She pulled out the key to the lock in advance, and after entering, she let Mozhu out, and then locked the locks on her door one by one.
If you want to come out the next day, then the keys are stuffed through the crack in the door and opened one by one.
She's not too much trouble.
She was just annoyed that Ning Ze had done to her excessively, unspeakable behavior.
She didn't notice Mo Zhu's eyes today, and she clearly wrote the two words "clear".
It was she who felt shy and her face flushed.
When Mo Zhu handed her the bronze mirror, she had already seen the marks on her neck, which was obviously shameful.
Green Tangerine was stupid, and thought she had been bitten by something, so she nervously shouted for a doctor.
After all, it's an untrained little girl.
But Qi Shu didn't go to the doctor, but just asked Mo Zhu to find her some medicine to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis, look at the bruising and purple traces, in just a few days, she couldn't go out.
Every time she thought about it, she was annoyed.
Listening to Ning Ze's shouting outside, Qi Shu simply turned her back and ignored it, she was determined to give Ning Ze a little color today.
"Ashu! Why are you doing this?! ”
"Ashu, listen to me!"
"Shu, are you ready to eat? I haven't. ”
"Ashu, this king is also very tired, and today's banquet is so lively."
“……”
Ning Ze stood outside and said no less than a hundred words, but none of them could cause Qi Shu's reaction.
There was no reaction at all, no matter what Ning Ze said.
Ning Ze, who was outside, walked around like a grumpy beast.
What's wrong with this Qi Shu? Why is she so easy to talk about it, and she doesn't want to pay attention to him?
Although he was indeed at fault from beginning to end of this matter, if it weren't for Qi Shu's unwillingness to tell her about the incident between her and Zhao Huanting, he wouldn't have done such a thing impulsively.
Although he didn't regret it after he finished it.
But Qi Shu is not a way to avoid him like this, he has to make it clear to his face after all. She couldn't ignore him forever.
Anyway, he saw it clearly, Qi Shu was just ruthless for a while, not always ruthless.
It's okay for her to ignore him today. But I'll have to ignore him tomorrow morning.
In that case, he was not in a hurry at this time, so he simply waited outside her room. Wait until Qi Shu is willing to open the door.
It was impossible for her to hide there for the rest of her life without coming out, and Ning Ze couldn't help but feel very satisfied with her wit.
But there is a price to be paid for, after all, it is an autumn night, and the night is still a little cold.
Ning Ze couldn't help but shudder, the corridor was empty, and he was the only one there.
He didn't dare to disturb Qi Shu's rest, and he stopped shouting after howling outside for a while.
Qi Shu only thought that he had already left, and suddenly felt a little disappointed. Because I haven't heard him for a while.
The annoying thoughts in my head continued for a long time, and finally I couldn't suppress the tiredness and sleepiness of my body and fell asleep deeply.
Nothing was said all night.
No one knew that their Guanghan King Ning Ze had spent the night in the corridor, and no one knew that no one paid attention to the desolate tightness.
Until the next morning, Mo Zhu couldn't worry about Qi Shu's situation, so he went upstairs early to check.
She was surprised to find that Ning Ze was hiding outside Qi Shu's locked door, curled up in a corner like that, and spent the night. It looks like he should have spent the night and didn't go back to his room.
To be honest, a prince can do this for the young lady, and even Mozhu himself is a little admired.
She didn't dare to alarm Ning Ze after seeing him there, she just glanced at him and left, didn't she say that there was still a banquet today? Then wait for the prince to leave and then go to see the young lady.
The scene was exactly the same as the day before, the officials of the Qi State and Ning Ze's guards all gathered downstairs and waited for Ning Ze to come down from the upper floor.
I waited for a long time, and waited until the third pole of the sun.
When Ning Ze staggered down from the upper floor, everyone noticed his very tired face.
Some are blue and some are pale.
So this caused everyone to think about what the prince had experienced, how could he be the same day since he was with the princess.
When Ning Ze woke up in the morning, he sneezed several times in a row, because it was really cold to spend the night in the corridor.
There was no one around, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, yes, he told the guards not to come up, but they really didn't come up. Qi Shu was really ruthless and didn't open the door.
Ning Ze, who had no choice, had to babble a few more words at Qi Shu's door, and then went back to his room to change his clothes and went downstairs.
He also knew that the banquet would last for three days, and he couldn't be late every day.
I hope that when he comes back, Qi Shu will be a little less angry, don't stuff himself in the room, and just vent any anger at him.
