Chapter XVII. Commitments
Phoenix Palace.
Huo Wu stood behind the screen with a cold face, looking at Shen Run sitting in the main hall, his calm and pleasant appearance seemed to be sitting in his own home, even if he told him that the princess was asleep and couldn't see him, he didn't leave, he still sit, and he didn't drink tea. He didn't feel awkward, but his difficult behavior made the entire Phoenix Palace feel annoyed, if he didn't leave, they wouldn't be able to do anything today.
Shen Run sat in the main hall of the Phoenix Palace, smiling and looking at the decoration here. The Phoenix Palace is very large, and it should be regarded as a very good palace in the palace of the Phoenix Underworld, but the decorations inside are also plain, and only a trace of fragrance reminds him that he is a peerless beauty who lives here.
Huo Wu came out from behind the screen and said expressionlessly:
"His Royal Highness King Rong, the eldest princess just fell asleep and can't wake up for a while, even if she wakes up, the princess is sick and weak, and she can't come out to see His Royal Highness, it's better for His Royal Highness King Rong to go back today and come back another day."
Fu Li, who was standing behind Shen Run, glanced at her, this girl had a strong appearance and a gentle voice, but the words she said were blunt and rude, and she even wanted to drive their Highness back, it was really presumptuous!
He glared at Huo Wu with murderous eyes.
Huo Wu didn't look at him, her chin was raised slightly, her back was straight, this arrogant style was really in line with her identity as the female official in charge of the Phoenix Palace.
Shen Run didn't care about her rudeness, and smiled: "That's right, the princess is sick and weak, and it's really reluctant to ask her to come out to see this king, but this king is negligent, and this king should go in to see her." As he spoke, he stood up, and went into the inner sanctum with great confidence.
Huo Wu's cold expression almost broke her skills, and she hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Shen Run's way:
"His Royal Highness King Rong, there is a difference between men and women, the eldest princess's bedroom, His Royal Highness King Rong is not in accordance with the rules in doing this."
"The marriage contract between this king and your eldest princess has been decided, Princess Chenguang is the wife of this king, and this king is just going in to visit his sick wife, where is it not in accordance with the rules?" Shen Run asked with a gentle smile, because it was too gentle, but it gave people a creepy illusion, and it felt like he was more like he was smiling at his flesh.
Huo Wu looked at him with surprised eyes, this person is really the legendary His Royal Highness King Rong, who is as gentle as jade and elegant, how does she think that this person's shamelessness has a fight with a scoundrel, she looked at Shen Run coldly for a while, but Shen Run looked back at her with warm eyes, as if he was such a gentle person.
Fire Dance felt the oppressive and awesome power in his gaze that she hated.
"His Royal Highness King Rong waits." She curtsied and said to him.
"Girl, please." Shen Runwen said with a smile.
Fire Dance turned, bypassed the screen, and entered.
Shen Run smiled, sat back down, and heard Fu Li muttering in a low voice:
"Your Highness, the palace maid here in the Phoenix Palace is too presumptuous."
Shen Run smiled faintly: "The slave is presumptuous, it is the master's good teaching." ”
At first glance, Fu Li felt that he understood this sentence, but after thinking about it, he didn't quite understand it, and he couldn't figure out who His Highness was aiming at with this.
The little palace maid quietly came in to change the new tea, and then stepped back, Shen Run glanced into the teacup and looked away.
The sound of the skirt brushing the ground sounded, and Chenguang's hand holding the fire dance slowly walked out from behind, still wearing a white dress, the thin little face was whiter than the dress on the body, and the lips were haggard. Only a day later, Shen Run felt that she had lost weight again, so thin that it was as if a small wind could blow her away.
Chenguang glanced at him softly with his sparkling apricot blossom eyes, lowered his head again, and bowed in a proper manner, without speaking.
Shen Run didn't see her annoyance, but inexplicably felt that she must be annoyed, smiled, and after returning the salute, asked gently:
"Is the princess feeling better?"
"It's better, His Royal Highness King Laorong remembers." Chenguang coughed softly and replied in a low voice, because in her illness, her voice was slightly hoarse, making her glutinous voice slightly sharp, like a kitten's paw scratching people's hearts.
She didn't say anything more, she didn't let him sit down, she meant it was obvious, she had let him see, and now, he could go.
If Shen Run just felt yesterday, then today her attitude made him sure that she didn't want to marry him, she was resistant to this marriage.
Shen Run thought it was funny, the third princess thought so much that Long Xiguo went and even lost her life in the end, but she was reluctant with a cold face, was Long Xiguo unable to enter her eyes, or could he not enter her eyes?
Shen Run sat down uninvited, sat in the previous position, looked at the morning light, and smiled gently:
"I think that since I have entered into a marriage contract with the princess, it is right to be honest with each other, and the princess can tell me what is in her heart, is the princess not satisfied with this marriage?"
Chenguang glanced at him, slowly sat down opposite him with Huo Wu's hand, and said softly:
"How come, His Royal Highness King Rong has a phoenix bone dragon posture and a noble status, how dare Chenguang be dissatisfied?"
What she said was not "how will", but "how dare", which made Shen Run feel that she was still a little childish, and he laughed:
"If you don't dare, why don't you want to?"
Chenguang hung his head deeply, he was smiling, but the attitude of the follow-up question was very tough, and she had to tell the reason.
She pursed her lips, suddenly raised her head, her eyes were blazing, looked at him, and said seriously:
"I'm from the Phoenix Netherworld!"
Shen Run was stunned.
This sentence can be interpreted in two ways: the first is that I am a native of Feng Yingguo, Feng Yingguo is my home, and I don't want to leave my home; The second is that I am a native of the Feng Ming Kingdom, I have pride in the Feng Ming Kingdom, and I don't want to be a member of the Longxi Kingdom.
A little woman, will she be proud of her poor and scarce homeland?
Shen Run was surprised, and a little stunned.
He looked at her with a smirk, trying to find a trace of lying on her face.
It's a pity that he didn't find it, he only saw her eyes, pure and unstained, dark and bright, as if a handful of broken stars had been sprinkled, as if they were going to suck people into them after a long time.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the room slowly began to rise as the temperature began to rise.
The first to look away was Chenguang, her shoulders trembling slightly, and she retracted her gaze shyly, helplessly looking away.
Shen Run was in a trance for a moment, and he came back to his senses when she withdrew her gaze, which made him feel a little dangerous inexplicably.
When I looked at the morning light again, I saw her head lowered, her long eyelashes trembling lightly, her hands holding the handkerchief unnaturally, and her helpless appearance was a little cute.
Shen Runwan smiled.
"The marriage was decided by the two countries, and the princess and I couldn't help ourselves." He said softly, "But I can promise the princess that I will treat the princess well, even in Longxi Kingdom, I will not let the princess suffer a little grievance." ”
Chenguang didn't respond, she lowered her head and squeezed the veil tighter.
Shen Run didn't respond to her, he continued: "The princess is at ease, I will go back first today, and I will come again tomorrow." With that, he stood up, turned around, and left.
The sun seeped out a little light through the dense clouds, and fell on his body, handsome as jade, elegant as a star, it was really a dragon and phoenix, a talent.
Chenguang still lowered her head, and after a long time, she laughed heartily.
