Chapter Twenty-Six: Spirited
I pretended to be a little calm and said, "You're doing a good job with this duck."
Turning his head and saying to the girl who wanted to hide desperately: "The girl will buy duck in the future, don't buy the crispy duck in Lentlou, it's delicious here." ”
"Yes, little... Childe"
He didn't say anything, but watched our master and servant talking here. He sneered and said, "Did you come here to eat duck?" ”
I took a sip of tea and motioned to the girl, only to see her run to the outer hall to give us the wind. "No, I'm here to ask about the rumors that came out of Kyoto when I was sick a few days ago, and I want to know who is behind the scenes?"
He took the bottle I had just drunk, filled it with a light gesture, and sent it to his mouth.
"Wait a minute," I saw his intentions, and cried out a little unusually.
"Are you missing a cup here? You drink what I've drunk, this is not proper, how bad it is to spread it. ”
"A grasshopper on a rope, don't think that you can draw a line with me when you come to me, besides, how can this little thing get out." After speaking, he raised his head.
"You were sick the other day, I should have visited you."
"Don't, the Spirit King hasn't come yet, and you, the prince of the East Palace, have no reason." I muttered a little angrily as if I was angry with someone.
"You really want Long Yuling to visit you?" His words penetrated into my ears with the momentum that had visibly cooled down around him.
Long Yuzun would not admit that he was a little jealous.
I shook my head, poured myself a glass of wine, and said, "I didn't mean that, I was more concerned about who spread the rumor." ”
I saw that his momentum had obviously eased up, and I felt a lot less stressed: "Don't you have a suspicious candidate in your heart?" ”
"I don't understand the person of the Spirit King, the girl said that it was a rumor that the Spirit King ordered the housekeeper of the Spirit King's Mansion to release, I don't think he will be so perverted, it's his fiancée."
I subconsciously believed his words even more, and I saw him nod his head imperceptibly.
My eyes were suddenly full of surprise, what does this Spirit King mean?
"That's... Young Master Long, what do you think the Spirit King means? Why did a prince lift a stone and hit his fiancée's foot? ”
His fingertips gently rubbed the edge of the wine bottle, as if he had fallen into some distant memory, and then said casually: "I don't know much about him, and I personally feel that he is not as simple as it seems, and there must be forces in his hands that we don't know about all the time." But you don't need to be in a hurry, you can try to go to him, or write to him, I always feel that he is waiting for you to find him. ”
"He's waiting for me to find him?" I said in surprise.
"I'm going to have a lot of money." I muttered softly, but he heard me.
"You can let the girl be the guide. You can decide where you will meet and what you will talk about. ”
"But Qianmo, I'm curious about how you found the Spirit King as a shield at that time, I saw that you didn't want to marry the King of You, but you didn't have the slightest intention of marrying the Spirit King," he asked in a low voice.
I felt like two bad guys and the man in front of me were plotting something, so I shook my head and said, "He took the initiative to find me." ”
"Oh? Then this spirit king is really interesting、It seems that the prince usually pays too little attention to him.,It's my negligence.," he shook his head, as if to express regret,
"Maybe the power in his hands is fully formed now." I didn't know what to do, and said melancholy,
"You're right. When I saw that Baizhai Tower, I was very suspicious. Besides, according to my research, there is a huge organization in this civil society, and I don't know who leads it. ”
"If you follow the clues and check it, there will definitely be eyebrows. Cunning rabbit three caves, none of your brothers have several places to do things, you are only the tip of your iceberg. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Qianmo is smart, and I believe we are good partners."
"Partners are all helping each other, you have to do me a favor, if I want to break the marriage contract with the Spirit King one day, it will all depend on you, the prince, even if you are divorced by the royal family, reputation doesn't matter."
At this moment, the prince thought of what I said that night, I don't want to marry anyone from the royal family.
"What if it is rumored that you are not married and you have a relationship with others?"
I was shocked in the chest, and a great pain hit my mind, and my previous life was ruined by the four words of being with others.
It's him, it's really the man opposite, so am I seeking skin with the tiger at the moment, suddenly his eyes narrowed coldly, gritted his teeth and said: "Forgive me for being disrespectful, is the prince unwilling to see me marry the Spirit King?" ”
He nodded, probably understanding why I was suddenly detached.
"If it is rumored that you are not married to me, then you will not be able to marry the spirit king."
When I heard this, I only felt my jaw struck the ground, did he say that it didn't mean that it wasn't him?
When I thought of this, I stumbled a little, and said resignedly: "You prince can only come up with such a bad idea? ”
"This is not a bad idea, your marriage was personally approved by your father, unless you and one of the brothers of the Spirit King cooked rice into cooked rice, you will not be able to withdraw from this marriage. But at that time, you may not be able to be the crown princess, at most you can only be a side concubine in the East Palace. These are all predictable, as well as the anger of your father and the family law of your father. ”
I shook my head and said: "Xiangye won't, he wished I would marry the Youwang before, but now the Youwang is not good, and I was sarcastic before, the main concubine of the Spirit King, it is better to be the Huairou of the side concubine of the Youwang, but my reputation has been completely ruined by you." ”
"It's good to destroy it cleanly, so that others won't think about you, so you can only be mine alone."
My heart thumped, and I didn't take his words to heart, it was clear that I had fallen from one pit to another.
I said with a sneer: "Not to mention that there are no such rumors yet, even if there are, they are just rumors, and I can't count them."
After saying this, I saw that the prince's face was not very good-looking, and immediately stood up with the intention of running away and said: "That, I still have something to do, so I will leave first."
After speaking, he didn't look at the prince, who was a little angry at the moment, and left the table with the girl and left.
The fox eyes under the prince's mask narrowed dangerously, I have lost my prince's reputation, you are still not happy, and depressedly drank the wine in the cup.
"Girl, have you ever known about the Spirit King before?"
I saw her head shake like a rattle: "Miss, we have never been in contact with the Spirit King, I really don't know how you didn't think about it at the beginning, Miss?" I've been with you, I've never seen you give your jade pendant to someone else, and I don't know when you exchanged tokens with the Spirit King. ”
"Okay, don't complain if you shouldn't know, your young lady and I have been a little blinded this time, and it's more reliable to solve this rumor as soon as possible. Let's go home first, and then discuss countermeasures. ”
Walking on the road to the Prime Minister's Mansion, I saw many families walking towards the backyard with their heads bowed and rows of respectfully carrying a lot of porcelain.
I frowned, something was wrong.
"Stop"
The housekeepers who heard my voice stopped in place, and the leader put down the blue and white porcelain in his hand and trotted towards me.
"Say hello to Miss Chang."
"Excuse me, who is this sent to which hospital? Is it Mrs. Zhao who is now in love with blue and white porcelain? ”
"No, Miss Yan. It's the third aunt's good water courtyard, and the lord ordered the third aunt to enjoy it. He nodded and said these words with a smile on his face.
I didn't say good in my heart, I told my father not to pick up the third aunt too early in the morning, why did the whole Xiangfu know about it in the afternoon, and my father listened to me in the morning.
Oh yes. This third aunt is really restless and can't hold her breath.
It's really naïve to think that everything will be fine with the protection of the prime minister.
You ran out on your own, and if someone assassinates you, I won't care about you anymore.
I hurriedly walked like a study, but I thought about it at this moment, and there was a good chance that Xiangye should be in the Shanshui Courtyard of the third aunt who had been favored again.
"Let's go, the third aunt is overjoyed, and I should also go and congratulate me."
Really.
When you enter the door, you can see that there are many flowers placed at the gate of Zensui-in, and the whole courtyard is completely new. The hall was filled with joy and festivity, but I didn't know why I saw the desolation in the inner courtyard.
The housekeepers put down the porcelain and ran out again, saying that they hadn't finished it yet.
Before I got started, I heard the third aunt talking to Xiangye, crying coquettishly about how much she missed Xiangye, and talking about the child in her womb.
When I entered the door, I saw the always majestic Xiangye tilting his head and gently sticking to Qian Xiangning's stomach, and said in a low voice: "Son, grow up quickly, father will give you all the best." ”
I saw the third aunt full of jewels, silk and satin all over her body, and her face was full of joy and happiness.
There is no more decadence and uneasiness in that little broken yard last night.
She didn't know that the faster good things come, the faster they lose.
I sneered, with the means of the eldest lady, you probably won't laugh for long, and you will be nothing without children.
However, it was precisely because of the matter of these three aunts that the eldest lady changed her calculating gaze from my funeral house to Shanshui Temple.
I saw that the third aunt clearly saw me but pretended not to see it, which made me smile coldly, this woman still kowtowed to me yesterday, and said that she would wait patiently, she is really a white-eyed wolf who is easily ungrateful and impatient.
"Daughter greets her father, congratulations to the third aunt."
Xiangye raised her head on her belly, I haven't seen such a happy smile on Xiangye's face for a long time, and the corners of his wrinkled eyes are full of smiles.
"Oh, it's Qianmo, what's the matter with me coming to Daddy?"
I also noticed that the third aunt did not salute me at this moment, but only touched her belly as if she had not heard me and my father.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that my daughter has an appointment tonight, and I hope that my father will approve the arrangement of the carriage."
"For small things, you can go, just tell the housekeeper." My father, who was filled with joy, didn't ask me where I was, but it didn't matter, it was better not to ask.
I saw my father's hand holding the third aunt's arm, full of arbitrary appearance, I gently interjected: "Daddy, I saw the second aunt teaching Xiao Rong'er to read after dinner last night, why don't you invite the husband who taught me before my father to teach Rong'er to read and write?" ”
"Okay, it's just that my father has been busy lately, so you can take care of this matter."
I didn't guess that my father didn't care about this, he promised me a few days ago, and there were so many things that he didn't even have time to find a housekeeper?
