Chapter 175: At the same table
Chapter 175 at the same table
Shen Yuanfeng's tone was indifferent. The faint mockery in the words made Ah Xing hang her head. Then she said softly, "Four times...... Thank you ......."
The low voice gently came into his ears, his heart trembled slightly, he understood what she meant, he had saved her four times, he didn't expect her to remember. But what about remembering? She will still abandon him, betray him, and hurt him! But he still couldn't see her hurt a little, just at that moment, he was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, just a little, if he hadn't tried all his skills to increase his speed to the extreme, she might have turned into a corpse now! I feel terrified when I think about it. He couldn't do anything for at least ten days, but he didn't regret it!
Ah Xing is like a thorn in his bone marrow, piercing him to the heart, but he can't pull out this thorn completely. This made him hate himself extremely much, so his attitude towards Ah Xing was even more cold! It seems that only by doing this can he remind himself of the pain he has suffered because of her!
Shen Yuanfeng sneered: "Girl, don't be polite, the danger arises because of me, no matter who it is." Shen will not hesitate to save him, the girl doesn't have to take it to heart! ”
Ah Xing still lowered her head, and a wry smile overflowed from the corner of her mouth, yes, Shen Yuanfeng has always been a good person, he saved her only because of his chivalrous heart, just like he was trapped at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival, what was she expecting? Could it be that she was still expecting that after she had hurt him so much, he would still have a little affection for her?
Ah Xing, Ah Xing, how can you have such a ridiculous idea? What man can stand a woman in the twilight? This is already the best ending between you, he will no longer be sad for you, and you will not add to your troubles anymore. Take 10,000 steps back, even if he still has affection for you, what can you do? Ah Xing, don't think nonsense, this won't be good for both parties! Be sensible! Be sensible!
Ah Xing stood up, her face had regained her calm, she saluted Shen Yuanfeng, and said, "Even so, Ah Xing's life was indeed saved by Lord Shen, and I also ask Lord Shen to accept the people's daughter!" ”
The indifferent expression and unfamiliar words made Shen Yuanfeng's heart tighten, he could no longer maintain his apparent composure, sank his face, snorted coldly, and said, "You're welcome!" Then he turned around coldly. There was a hint of anger in the action.
Shen Yuanfeng walked to the middle of the field, hugged his fist towards Zhang Xiang and said, "My lord, because the inadvertence of the lower officials almost caused a big disaster, please punish the adult!" ”
Zhang Xiang's face was a little unhappy, he stretched out his hand to make a reassuring gesture, and said slowly and seriously: "You can't be blamed for this matter, and you don't need to blame yourself!" After saying that, his eyes seemed to glance at Prince Gogatai unintentionally, and his face condensed. openly killed him at the banquet he held for them, and he was too dismissive of him as a prime minister. Zhang Xiang did not hide the anger in his heart.
Ge Jiatai was a little embarrassed on his face, although the Jin Kingdom has now recovered some vitality, but it is not yet time to openly make enemies with the Tang Dynasty, just now he failed to suppress his competitiveness, and almost caused a big disaster, and he will definitely be punished by his father when he goes back. However, although Ge Jiatai is competitive, as the person with the highest voice to inherit the throne, he is not stupid, so he immediately stood up and apologized to Zhang Xiang: "Prime Minister, it was all the fault of my subordinates just now, he was competitive and frightened. It is really Xiao Wang's lax discipline, and Xiao Wang will definitely deal with it strictly! As he spoke, he turned around and reprimanded the big man just now in Jinguo dialect with a straight face, and asked someone to drag him down.
Gogatai put all the blame on his subordinates in a few words, although everyone knew that it was Gogatai's fault, but everyone was just looking for a step down, the other party was the prince of Jin, and the current Jin country was not as serious as before, did you really want to be serious with him in this little matter? Let's talk to the mud together and uncover this matter......
Ge Jiatai saw that Zhang Xiang's face was still a little unhappy, so he glanced at his brother Wang, in his impression, Brother Wang has no other ability, but the ability to do peace is first-class, which is probably the reason why his father sent him to come with him.
Prince Bourtai understood, stood up from his position, first saluted Zhang Xiang, and then saluted the Tang officials opposite, and his modest attitude won everyone's favor.
After saluting, Bourtai stepped out of his position and walked towards the opposite side. All the people in the hall looked at him with wide eyes, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
I saw him walking steadily towards the place where Ah Xing was sitting.
He is tall, with a straight back, and a calm face on his cold face, with the air of a general, giving people a very stable feeling.
He walked to a place two meters away from A Xing and stood still, bent down slightly, and placed his right hand on his chest, which everyone knew was a kind of etiquette in the Jin Kingdom. It is used to express the sincerest apologies.
In a very sincere tone, Bultai said: "Allow me to express my sincerest apologies to the girl on behalf of the samurai who missed the battle just now, and it really makes me feel uneasy to let her be frightened. Please accept my compensation to the girl! ”
The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on the two of them, and everyone was curious, what was the so-called compensation of Prince Bourtai?
Ah Xing looked at the man with a sincere face in front of her, she really didn't know what to say, everyone's eyes made her even more uncomfortable, and she began to regret agreeing to Zhang Zhao's request to come here. She stood up, saluted Bultai back, and said, "The maiden is fine, and the prince is not welcome!" ”
Bourtai shook his head slightly, still maintaining a saluting posture and continued: "In our Jin Kingdom, if you sincerely apologize, you will invite the other party to your table, and then personally toast three glasses of wine until the banquet is over, if the other party does not accept it, it means that you do not accept the other party's apology!" I wonder if the girl is willing to sit at the same table with Xiao Wang and accept Xiao Wang's sincere apology? ”
As soon as these words came out, all the officials and even Zhang Xiang showed a satisfied expression on their faces, everyone knew a little about Jin Guo's apology etiquette, and at this time, Jin Guoken apologized to a small folk girl in Tang State, regardless of whether his apology was sincere or not. But at the very least, it said that Jin Guo was still concerned about Tang Guo at this time, and he didn't want to tear his face with Tang Guo, so he asked a dignified prince to apologize to the people's daughter.
In this way, everyone's hearts are at ease. Everyone's faces were smiling again, and Zhang Xiang's expressions were relaxed again. Only Ge Jiatai had a faint anger on his face, he just wanted Brother Wang to round out the atmosphere in the arena, but he didn't expect that he would apologize to the woman of Tang Kingdom, which was too embarrassing for the people of Jin Guo! He glared at Brother Wang's back, and scolded in a low voice in Jinguo: "Useless things." ”
When the pet concubine next to him heard his words, the posture of leaning on his arms remained unchanged, but there was a faint disdainful smile on the corner of her mouth.
Over there. Ah Xing felt very embarrassed. In the Tang Kingdom, a woman who shares a table with a man is either a relative or a concubine, and there is absolutely no reason for a strange woman to sit at the same table with a man. Of course, she doesn't care about this, but Shen Yuanfeng is here, she doesn't want to sit at the same table with other men in front of Shen Yuanfeng, although it is forced by the situation, but who knows what he will think in his heart? She was already a water-based poplar woman in his mind, and she didn't want him to make this crime more convincing when they met for the first time two years later. But at this time, Bultai was waving the banner of apology, so that she could not refuse, which offended the prince of Jin and affected the "friendship" between the two countries, and she could not afford it.
Her hesitation made both people a little impatient, and the officials on the scene began to frown, and Zhang Zhao next to her looked up at her, constantly making eyes, meaning that she agreed. And Zhang Xiang, who was sitting on a high place, "hummed" softly. This body hummed like a thousand catties of boulders, smashing heavily on Ah Xing's heart, Ah Xing's heart trembled slightly, and she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, so she said to Burtai: "The prince's sincerity, the people dare not refuse!" ”
Bourtai raised his head, looked at her and smiled softly, his dark eyes were bottomless, he turned slightly sideways and made a gesture: "Girl, please here!" ”
Ah Xing lowered her head and didn't look at everyone's eyes, let alone look at the face of Shen Yuanfeng, who was still standing in the field, and walked to Bultai's table. When she passed by Shen Yuanfeng's side, she felt a burst of cold aura coming from him, which made her shudder uncontrollably, and she quickened her pace and walked towards Bultai's table. Bourtai followed closely behind her.
When he was about to get to the table, Burtai took the first step and asked Ah Xing to sit down on the side first, and waited for Ah Xing to sit down. Then slowly sit down on the other side.
Ah Xing lowered his head, his eyes could only see Shen Yuanfeng's leather boots in the field, and he heard the voice of Zhang Xiang ordering him to return to his position. At first, the leather boots didn't move, and after Zhang Xiang said again, the leather boots turned around and walked towards the opposite table. Ah Xing's eyes involuntarily followed the pair of black leather boots, until she saw it disappear behind the low table, only to realize that his table was opposite her.
The atmosphere in the stadium was as relaxed and cheerful as before. Then there was a juggling show. But at this time, Ah Xing really didn't have the heart to appreciate it. She sat upright, her eyes falling on a point in the middle of the field.
Burtai picked up the wine jug and poured the glass in front of A Xing, and the sound of "dripping" water accompanied his rich and not gentle voice: "This is Xiao Wang's first glass of wine for the girl, and today made the girl frightened, and Xiao Wang really couldn't help it." After speaking, he picked up his cup and said with a smile: "Do it first for respect." Then he looked up, and a glass of wine was over.
Ah Xing was startled, and her attention was temporarily diverted by him, she turned her head, looked at Burtai, and said, "Prince, the folk girl is not good at drinking, such a way to drink, the folk girl will fall down immediately!" ”
Bourtai lowered his head and chuckled, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of smiles, he leaned closer to Ah Xing and said in a voice that only she could hear: "It's okay, you drink a little, and the rest can be poured out while everyone is not paying attention." I'm not going to talk to anyone! ”
When Bultai spoke, his eyes sparkled, and the small groove on his chin flickered with the opening and closing of his lips, full of masculine charm, but there was a little naughtiness in his tone, which made his words and expressions have a special interest, making Ah Xing involuntarily purse his lips and smile. This smile is like an orchid slowly blooming in the morning sun, fresh and elegant, but it is also dizzying, Bultai was stunned, and there was a look of confusion in his eyes.
He coughed twice, as if to hide his gaffe, and then said, "Tell you secretly, sometimes I do this when I fight with others, so few people fight with me!" ”
Ah Xing smiled: "It's really not like what a prince would do." ”
Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound from the opposite side. Ah Xing and Bultai looked over, but saw that it was a maid standing at Shen Yuanfeng's table with a tray in her hand, and the wine bottle in the tray fell to the ground and shattered, the sound just now was the sound of the wine bottle falling to the ground, the maid was frightened and stunned, and when she came back to her senses, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the prime minister and shouted for mercy.
Shen Yuanfeng's face was gloomy and terrifying, and the hand on the table was tightly clenched into a fist, as if he was in a great rage.
The prime minister's wife, who had been silent next to Zhang Xiang, frowned at this time and said, "There are really no rules!" Drag this girl out and blame the twenty boards! ”
Twenty boards are a great torture for a weak woman, and I don't know if she will die. Just breaking a wine bottle may cost you a life. Ah Xing's heart was full of forbearance and sympathy, but she also knew that she had no ability to save her. The maid's face was pale, trembling with fright, and she suddenly cried in the direction of Shen Yuanfeng: "My lord, please tell Madame, it was you who hit the slave and maid, and the slave and maid will break the wine bottle, my lord, do well, save the slave and maid's life!" ”
Shen Yuanfeng lowered his head, looked at the crying maid, and then looked at the broken vase on the ground, as if he had just realized what had happened, he stood up from his position and said to the prime minister's wife: "It is true that the lower official accidentally bumped into her just now, it is all the fault of the lower official, please calm your anger!" ”
The Prime Minister's wife turned a little pale, looked at the maid who couldn't stop kowtowing on the ground and said: "Even if this is the case, what kind of body does a slave and maid cry and make trouble on such an occasion, you can go down and get the ten boards yourself!" The top ten boards couldn't die, the maid's face was loose, she kowtowed again and again to thank her, kowtowed to Shen Yuanfeng a few more times, got up and lowered her head and retreated.
A storm subsided.
Zhang Zhao next to him asked Shen Yuanfeng curiously: "Lord Shen, why did you collide with the girl?" ”
Shen Yuanfeng's eyes looked to the other side, at this time, Burtai was pouring a second glass of wine for A-Xing, Burtai was strong and masculine, he was smiling while talking to A-Xing, A-Xing took the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and then smiled slightly, turned his head and said something to Burtai, the smile on Bourtai's face was deeper, and his eyes were shining. is also a man, Shen Yuanfeng can naturally see that this Bourtai has different thoughts about Ah Xing, and Ah Xing has always been smiling, and he doesn't seem to have the intention of refusing.
How could he tell Zhang Zhao that just now he saw this, so a nameless fire rose in his heart, strong jealousy and anger gnawed at his heart, ruined his reason, he almost rushed to the opposite side, if it wasn't for the maid who just poured him wine and bumped into him, he might have stood in front of Ah Xing at this time, causing an unimaginable situation!
He said to himself more than once that Ah Xing was originally this kind of woman, so he didn't care, he didn't care, but seeing her smiling at other men, watching other men look at her with this kind of gaze, he just couldn't stand it, he just wanted to go crazy
All this called him how to talk to Zhang Zhao
Shen Yuanfeng turned his head, looked at him, and said with a reluctant smile: "It's Yuanfeng who is careless." ”
His eyes couldn't help but fall on the table opposite, as if he was glued, and he couldn't move away.
A-Xing secretly poured the second glass of wine under the table as Burtai said. Bourtai smiled again and filled her with a third glass of wine.
"As long as you drink this glass of wine, you will completely forgive Xiao Wang."
Ah Xing picked up the wine glass and took a sip gently. She looked at him, and to be honest, Bourtai was really comfortable talking and acting, and if she had met him in a previous life, she would definitely make him a friend. It's a pity that he is the prince of the Kingdom of Jin, so it is better not to get too close to each other.
"Prince, A-Xing has never blamed you! Today's incident was originally an accident, and I was fine, the prince did this, which not only embarrassed Ah Xing, but also made Ah Xing a little embarrassed. ”
Burtai raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Embarrassed? How so? ”
Ah Xing asked him to look at the other side: "You see, in our Tang Kingdom, strange men and women can't sit at the same table. ”
Bultai glanced at the other side before retracting his gaze, looking at Ah Xing and smiling, "Then how can we sit at the same table?" ”
Ah Xing said: "It must be a family member. ”
Bourtai nodded, but said nothing. Then he turned his head to look at her and smiled, and there was something deep in his smile.
Ah Xing poured the third glass of wine in her hand under the table, and just put the cup away, she heard Bultai say, "Ah Xing girl, are you very familiar with Master Tongzhi?" ”
Isn't Lord Tongzhi Shen Yuanfeng? Subconsciously, Ah Xing shook her head and said, "It's not very familiar." ”
Bultai looked at the other side and said with a smile: "But Lord Tongzhi has been watching you all the time." ”
Ah Xing raised her head and looked at the other side, just in time to meet Shen Yuanfeng's cold gaze, with a trace of disdain, a hint of mockery, and even a hint of anger in her eyes. A-Xing's heart sank.
Seeing Ah Xing looking over, he gently looked away, picked up the wine in front of him, and drank it all. Then his eyes fell on the vaudeville in the field, and he never looked at her again. It was as if that glance was just a casual glimpse.
Ah Xing suppressed the bitterness in her heart, smiled lightly at Burtai, and said, "The prince is wrong, Lord Tongzhi is watching the performance." ”
Bultai looked at the other side, but saw Shen Yuanfeng's gaze shooting towards him like a sharp sword, how could he not see the jealousy and anger in his eyes? He looked at Shen Yuanfeng and smiled lightly, raised the wine in front of him, bowed slightly at him, and then drank it all. The movements are smooth and leisurely, and the expression is light and breezy. But in Shen Yuanfeng's eyes, it was a faint provocation. Shen Yuanfeng's gaze became even more cold.
Burtai turned his head casually, looked at Ah Xing, and his smile became more and more gentle, "Actually, it's not strange for Lord Tongzhi to look at you and me at all. He leaned closer to her and whispered, "You look at the people in the field, whether they are from the Tang Kingdom or the Jin Kingdom, who is not secretly watching you?" A Xing girl is as beautiful as the danzhu flower on our prairie, and will attract people's attention wherever she goes. As he spoke, a warm breath sprayed onto her cheeks, and A-Xing turned her head to look at his close face, and couldn't help frowning, he seemed to be too close to her.
