Chapter 122: Contradictions

"Now, Your Highness can finally get what he wants." Chu Nian collided with Ming Xiu's wine cup decently, and elegantly drank the peach blossoms in the cup.

The degree of peach blossom brewing is not high, but there is also an inexplicable spicy in the sweetness, Chu Nian took a sip of wine, and the hot flow flowed down his throat into his abdomen, dispelling a little cold brought by early autumn.

Ming Xiu's gaze fell fixedly on the delicate side face, his thin lips pursed, and after a while, he picked up his wine cup and drank it all.

"You're mad at me."

Chu Nian turned his eyes to meet the narrow eyes, which were pitch black, but they contained her pink face.

"How dare the courtiers."

Angry? What is she angry with him? Angry that he didn't discuss today's matter with him in advance, or was he angry that he didn't block her in front of her and made Mu Qing unconscious?

Chu Nian shook her head, in the end, they were two independent-minded people, there was nothing wrong with him thinking about himself like this, she had no reason to be angry.

Ming Xiu's eyes flickered slightly, the candle flame shone on Chu Nian's face, reflecting a gentle orange on her face, and her eyelashes trembled lightly at this moment, which was the same as that day by the stream full of candles.

He remembered her firm voice: "If it is for my love, I am willing to die." But he couldn't be as firm as hers, and he only made this mistake in a moment of hesitation, and he should have felt guilty......

The night was silent, and Chu Nian saw Ming Xiu carefully filling the two wine cups before taking a sip alone, and a long sigh came from his side. Chu Nian frowned and looked at the candle flames that were flickering not far away.

"After tonight, Your Highness doesn't have to sneak up on me anymore."

Since there is no need to pretend to be stupid anymore, he can come to her blatantly, the prince is already sticking to the Wushuang County Lord, this is not a secret, she is more looking forward to the Queen Mother's next plan - now that she knows that he is not stupid, the Queen Mother can also figure out the causes and consequences of Ming Xiu's clinging to Chu Nian before, and she doesn't need to pretend to tremble in front of the Queen Mother.

Since she is going to declare war publicly, she is upright, and she is not afraid of the Queen Mother's indiscriminate methods.

Ming Xiu squeezed his hands, "How is your headache?" ”

Chu Nian lowered his eyes, he really came that night, "I still need more medicine from His Highness, I haven't had a headache in the past few days." ”

"Hmm." Ming Xiu rolled his eyes lightly, and his subordinates became even more entangled. "I'll have someone bring you some later."

There is no need for him to pretend to be high in front of her, since he wants to show his true face, he should be more real in front of her.

"King Huainan......" Chu Nian opened his mouth, "Don't worry about King Huainan's side for the time being, I will tell His Highness in advance if he has any movements." ”

After all, there is still a Xiaolan watching, the king of Huainan has always been unguarded against Xiaolan, and the relationship between the king of Huainan and Xichu Yueling was still told to her by Xiaolan.

If there is any movement, Xiaolan will inevitably inform her, besides, if the king of Huainan is not stupid, he will not attack Ming Xiu so early, and sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is the wisdom that the dignified king of Huainan should have.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chu Nian turned her head, but she looked at a pair of eyes that were as indulgent as water, she was stunned, and took a deep breath, "How is the queen's body?" ”

Ming Xiu shook his head: "It was the queen mother who asked me to come out earlier, she said that it was too tiring for you to fight alone, and her body was already ......"

Seeing Chu Nian's furrowed brows, Ming Xiu's heart warmed, and he reached out to smooth her brows, but withdrew his hand halfway.

The chest seems to be congested.

Seeing that Ming Xiu stopped talking, Chu Nian also understood, the queen said that as long as she was still sitting in the queen's position, Ming Xiu should never be a smart child, and now that she is down, there is no need for Ming Xiu to pretend to be stupid and be slaughtered for the sake of her reputation.

"Your Royal Highness can declare to the outside world that the queen needs to recuperate, take the queen out of the house, and I will ask my aunt to help take care of the queen mother, maybe out of the palace, the queen mother's body will slowly recover."

Chu Nian bowed his head, his eyes fell on the fragrant peach blossoms in front of the table, the queen is not worried about her reputation for "filial piety", so what should the emperor do? Now that his son and mother are openly opposed, such a person who is affectionate will inevitably be caught in the middle of a dilemma.

Ming Xiu blinked, "We have already started the manor where we can settle down after choosing a mother." ”

Chu Nian nodded, the two of them finally wanted to go together.

"I heard that there is a Moon Villa next to the mountain village, and the place is good." Ming Xiu poured himself a drink, and his face was slightly drunk.

This peach blossom brew is intoxicating after all.

Chu Nian glanced at his eyebrows, Capture Moon Villa? That martial arts force? Ming Xiu means ...... To destroy them?

"Your Highness's power is already big enough to compete with the forces of the rivers and lakes? I've heard that the owner of the Moon Capture Villa is a master of martial arts who can't beat him even if he is far away. ”

Ming Xiu laughed harmlessly: "Who said you were going to fight him?" ”

Chu Nian's face was stunned, and he instantly reacted to the meaning of his words: "There are already your people in the martial arts?" ”

Seeing her rare and ignorant appearance, Ming Xiu smiled heartily, with red lips and bright teeth, and her handsome outline seemed to be shining in the faint candle flame.

"No, but you do."

Chu Nian's brows furrowed suddenly: "Your Highness won't know that I just beat Tao Jinyan the day before yesterday." ”

Speaking of Tao Jinyan being beaten, Ming Xiu smiled more and more happily: "Well, I know, but if it is your request, that kid will not refuse." ”

"How does His Highness know him so well?"

"Dark three said."

Chu Nian remembered that a few days ago, he asked Dark San to investigate the movements of the Tao family, and thought that he had investigated what had happened, but he told Ming Xiu directly...... This bastard boy will have to ban him from associating with Mei Xiang in the future.

As if seeing through her thoughts, Ming Xiu filled the empty wine cup in front of her, "Dark San was originally my person, and the person you called me didn't allow me to listen to what he did?" ”

Chu Nian was so blocked by him that he couldn't speak, gritted his teeth and drank the peach blossoms he handed over: "Well, Your Highness is reasonable, that Mei Xiang is my slave, and it is natural for me to tell Mei Xiang not to associate with anyone when I turn around." ”

Ming Xiu smiled: "It's okay, it's good if you're happy." ”

Chu Nian couldn't wait to crush his handsome face of schadenfreude, and snorted coldly: "Your Highness, please go back, if I guess correctly, the Queen Mother should arrange a flower viewing party tomorrow, right?" Your Highness had better go back early tonight to rest. ”

"Yes," Ming Xiu's thin lips hooked a playful smile: "The Queen Mother asked me to accompany the Empress of Western Chu to walk around the palace, and by the way, she wants to help me choose a concubine." ”

Chu Nian's face froze, no matter how she covered it up, there was still a tremor in her voice: "You agreed?" ”

Ming Xiu glanced at her undeniably, the Queen Mother is now Sima Zhao's heart, and in front of so many people, she lovingly said that she would help him find a princess to take care of him, wouldn't he be unfilial if he refused?

There seemed to be something different in his chest, Chu Nian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then smiled indifferently: "Okay, I wish Your Highness to find a virtuous and virtuous princess as soon as possible." ”

Ming Xiu opened her mouth, and before she could speak, she stood up and called out the door: "Mei Xiang, send off." ”

When Mei Xiang came in, Ming Xiu had already got up with a frown, Chu Nian opened the window, and the cool breeze entered the house again, dissipating the trace of alcohol.

"You don't have to ......" Ming Xiu opened his mouth at the figure, and she turned her back to her like this, her body motionless, steady as a rock.

A hint of gloom flashed in Ming Xiu's eyes, and at the end, he nodded with Mei Xiang, turned around and walked out the door.

Mei Xiang followed closely and sent the person to the back door, only to see Ming Xiu turn his eyes and stop talking. She had listened to the wall for a long time just now, and the voice in the house had already been heard, and she knew that the queen mother was going to choose a concubine for the prince, if the prince chose a concubine...... With the temperament of his own lady, I'm afraid that the relationship with the prince will end here.

But Mei Xiang also watched her own lady and the prince come over in love, if it wasn't for Mu Niangzi's incident before, she wouldn't have fallen into such a stiff situation, but now Shen Ruan has got the end she deserves, and when Mu Niangzi wakes up, her own lady and the prince will definitely be reconciled as before.

Mei Xiang's wishful thinking in her heart was only half done, and she was also sorry in her heart, but now that it was the master's business, she couldn't intervene. Seeing Ming Xiu's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Mei Xiang knew that he still had something to explain, so she hurriedly said: "If Your Highness has anything to say, tell the slave maid, and the slave and maid will help His Highness convey it." ”

The lady must also be reluctant to His Highness, otherwise Fang Cai would not even have the courage to watch His Highness leave.

Ming Xiu stood at the door, frowned and said, "Lone has nothing to explain to you, you take care of your lady, and this." Ming Xiu took out a porcelain bottle from his arms: "Tell her that I will find a medicine that can cure her headache, and there is still this medicine in the palace, so that she doesn't have to save." ”

Mei Xiang's eyes were sour, and she reached out to take the porcelain bottle in Ming Xiu's hand, knowing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must also remember his mother! Otherwise, she wouldn't have remembered the lady's headache at this moment, and even she forgot about this stubble after serving the lady all day!

Seeing Mei Xiang nodding, Ming Xiucai breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes looked at the dark deep mansion not far away, his eyes flashed slightly, and he turned to leave.

After Ming Xiu left, Mei Xiang hurriedly rushed back to Vanilla House, His Royal Highness missed the lady so much, tomorrow's things must have been dealt with a long time ago, but she hadn't forgotten that the lady said that she would punish the dark three who ate inside and out.

She is not afraid that the lady will prevent them from meeting, the lady is soft-hearted, and she is reluctant to see her trapped by love, and the dark three are not a mistake that is unreasonable, saying that they are not allowed to contact, that is to say, but in the end, the dark three is "eating inside and out", with the degree of hatred of the lady for betrayal, the dark three have to be punished.

She was reluctant to be punished in secret.

Waiting for Mei Xiang to open the door, Chu Nian was standing silently in front of the window, still in the posture when Fang Cai Mingxiu left, but he didn't move, seeing Chu Nian like this, Mei Xiang's heart softened.

"Lady...... His Royal Highness must have a certain number in his heart, don't worry, His Royal Highness loves the lady so much, how can he easily give up the lady? ”

Chu Nian didn't speak, but he felt funny in his heart and abandoned her? It is not certain who will give up whom. It's just that the Queen Mother asked him to choose a concubine, and he actually agreed, which really made people feel like a fish in their throats.

Seeing that Chu Nian still didn't speak, Mei Xiang panicked for a while, "Lady, don't be like this, the slave and maid are uncomfortable to watch......"

A sense of powerlessness rose in Chu Nian's heart, why is this girl so stalked...... She looked back and said, "Who said I was uncomfortable?" ”

Mei Xiang opened her watery eyes: "You are not ......"

"Okay, I'm fine," Chu Nian paused, and said with a smile: "Look at your ugly appearance, call the dark three." ”

"Lady ......"

"Don't worry, I won't do anything about the dark three."

A moment later, Dark San was standing in front of Chu Nian with his head down, wanting to cry without tears.

Your Highness, Your Highness, if you want to please the lady, you can please the lady, why do you want to confess him? Why did you drag him into the water? Does His Highness understand how fierce this woman is, or is he deliberately playing tricks on him?

Chu Nian looked out the window without saying a word, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes.

Seeing her turn around, Dark San almost raised his heart to his throat, "Lady, subordinates ......"

Chu Nian sighed unexpectedly: "I didn't mean to blame you. ”

Dark Sanyu caught a glimpse of Mei Xiang hiding at the door, knowing that it was she who helped to intercede with the lady so that she didn't blame, she couldn't help but be moved in her heart, and when she made up her mind to Mei Xiang, she heard Chu Nian's cold voice from above:

"Say, what did you investigate?"
