Chapter 41
Ah Yan's face was suddenly flushed, she turned her face away in shame, and desperately wiped her face with a handkerchief, but when she moved like this, it involved her ankle instead, so a sharp pain came, and she screamed "oops"!
And then, while she was in a hurry, she had already waved the rapeseed cake on the table to the ground!
The Nine Emperor Princes stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support her, frowning and said, "Can you be careful?"
Ah Yan covered his face and said sadly: "I must be ugly like this!"
The Nine Emperors raised their eyebrows and said lightly: "It's a little ugly." ”
After a pause, he stared at the girl who covered her face and was embarrassed to see people, and said puzzledly: "But you have been wearing this face for so long, and you are only covering it now, don't you think it's too late?"
As soon as these words came out, Ah Yan only felt that his whole body was turned into stone there.
After a long, long time, she finally let go of the face she was covering, opened her eyes, and looked at the Nine Emperor Princes with a calm expression.
She gritted her teeth desperately in her heart, thinking that if she could, she would definitely scold this little kid in front of her, who was actually only thirteen years old, turned out to be so self-righteous and so annoying!
But of course she didn't dare, she didn't dare in her previous life, she didn't dare in this life, and she probably didn't dare in the next life.
So she took a deep breath, swallowed the shame and helplessness that kept coming, and finally bit her lip, lowered her head, blushed with shame, and whispered, "Well, it's a little late......"
The Nine Emperors suddenly laughed, and took out an extremely clean white handkerchief: "I'll give you this too." ”
This time, Ayan took it unceremoniously and wiped his face clean.
The Nine Emperor Princes sat aside, staring at Ah Yan, who finally revealed the true face of Lushan.
This kind of Ah Yan is really similar to the smart and reckless little girl in his memory.
A pair of eyes are like a pool of clear spring water, with a little tears, lovely, the cheeks are delicate as if they can press out the water, and the pink little mouth is so helplessly pouted, with a little shame, with a little helplessness, and a trace of indignation.
The Nine Emperor Princes lowered their eyes and hid the thousand emotions in their eyes.
In the previous life, I used to look at her from such a distance, to see her arrogant and domineering for no reason when she was young, to see her beautiful face when she first grew up, and to see her bow her head and bow there after marrying a wife.
He was high up and sometimes wished that she would raise her head and look at him.
But never.
All you can see is her fair and graceful neck hidden between her hair by chance, and the slender back that slowly leaves.
In the ignorance of love, he went out to fight, but encountered a barbaric princess in a foreign country, and the other party wanted to marry him at first sight.
The princess smiled at him brightly, and said that I just like you, and I will marry you when I see you, and you are not allowed not to marry.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that the brightness in front of him was very dazzling.
So at that moment, he finally understood why he couldn't help but secretly look at that arrogant and unreasonable girl!
Why do you always unconsciously look for her figure in the crowd!
But it seemed that it was too late, she had already married another woman, she had already tied her hair in a high bun, she had lowered her stubborn head, and she had hidden the sparkle in her eyes.
Later, under the leadership of the imperial brother, he formed a friendship with the Northwest Qiang State of Qin and Jin, and appointed Princess Mantuo of the Qiang State as the concubine.
However, his imperial sister-in-law, the family of Jingguo Mansion, who had been running for many years, was unwilling to lose the position of Princess Rong like this, so before he married Princess Mantuo, she finally begged the royal brother and stuffed the four girls of Jingguo Mansion into him as side concubines.
He remained unmoved, knowing that what he had lost would not come back.
The beauty he wanted had already been picked up by others before he had time to grow up and understand what that ignorance was like.
There is no chance in this life.
Later, on the wedding night, when he unveiled the four girls' joy, among the swaying red candles and the phoenix crown, the somewhat shadowy and shadowy, but completely different face, made him suddenly feel heartache and almost didn't dare to look at it directly.
Similar faces, but it can't be her at all.
Ah Yan wiped the dust off his face, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the cold Nine Emperor Princes staring at him like that, and the sadness flowing in his eyes seemed familiar.
In a trance, Ah Yan suddenly remembered that it seemed that when she first saw the six-year-old child, he looked at her with such eyes.
She looked up at him, puzzled, and tried to probe, but he quickly turned his face away, leaving only a cold and handsome side face.
Ayan sighed and looked down at his ankles.
No matter what troubles the Nine Emperor Princes have, he is now a golden and noble prince, and he will be at least a prince in the future, and he will be carefree all his life, and few people can bully him, how many people still have to kneel in front of him and beg him.
That's it, there's really nothing to worry about.
Ah Yan stretched out his hand and touched the ankle wrapped in white cloth, thinking of his mother at home for a while, he didn't know how anxious his mother and brother should be when they found out that they were missing, and he didn't know what kind of thunderous anger his ancestors would have if they knew.
As for Xiqing, she chased after her in a carriage, and she was lost like this, is she looking for herself everywhere, or will she go back to the city to report the news?
Thinking of this, Ah Yan couldn't help but raise his head and quietly looked at the Nine Emperor Princes.
The Nine Emperors happened to sweep their eyes over, and they saw Ah Yan glancing at himself with condemnation and helplessness like a poor little rabbit with red eyes who had been caught.
It's like he's some kind of bandit and robber.
He couldn't help but "cough" lightly, bent down, picked up the rapeseed cake that had been touched on the ground, wiped it and handed it to Ah Yan.
"I know you're not used to this, but I don't have anything else to eat for a while. ”
Ah Yan bit her delicate lip, turned her face away, and said in a low voice, "I'm not hungry......"
As soon as the words fell, a clear gurgling sound sounded.
Ah Yan covered his stomach in shame and said helplessly: "Then I'll eat it." ”
She took the rapeseed cake, but her fingers happened to touch the fingers of the Nine Emperor Princes, but it was only a slight touch for an instant, but she felt that the fingers seemed to be a little cold.
Ah Yan couldn't help but rub his hands, then lowered his head and took the rapeseed cake and ate it one bite at a time.
The Nine Emperor Princes sat on the side, and also picked up another piece of rapeseed cake and ate it.
He grew up in a small golden soup, and he doesn't know how many people serve him when he eats a meal, and his usual diet is naturally very fine, and he doesn't know how many times more exquisite than the old lady who pays attention to the Jingguo Mansion.
But now, so noble, eating rough rapeseed cake, his movements are very graceful and calm, as if he was sitting among the fallen leaves and sipping a cup of tea.
Ah Yan chewed the food in his mouth with difficulty, staring at the elegant eating appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes, and inevitably sighed that people are different from each other.
Some people are born to enjoy the glory, everywhere is smooth, life is the smooth road that can be seen at a glance, while some people are trying their best, smiling hard, to welcome, to operate, to fight.
Ah Yan took a sip of porridge from the rough rapeseed cake, and thought more and more bitterly, in fact, he was able to live well in the Jingguo Mansion in the past few years, in fact, it was all thanks to the person in front of him.
Bow down to Him, bear His gifts, and live a good life.
This is what Ayan has realized in his two lifetimes.
Thinking of this, Ah Yan cautiously glanced at the Nine Emperor Princes again.
The Nine Emperor Princes stopped what they were doing and asked Ah Yan lightly, "Why do you look at me like this?"
Ah Yan grabbed the rapeseed cake, tried to make a flattering smile, and said softly: "Thanks to the Nine Emperor Princes today, Ah Yan is grateful!"
The Nine Emperors' gaze swept over, like electricity, and Ah Yan only felt as if that look could penetrate himself.
She shuddered slightly, and said more and more carefully: "Nine Emperor Princes, I am sorry that I have caused you trouble." ”
As soon as these words came out, the Nine Emperor Princes suddenly pulled away a sneer, and there was coldness in his eyes: "It's true that you have caused me trouble." ”
Yes?
Ah Yan bowed his head in shame, and it was not to admit his sin, nor was he not to admit his guilt.
The Nine Emperor Princes looked down at her with green silk, staring at the white and slender neck that was faintly visible between the green silks, he turned his head suddenly, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "Gu Yan, did you have a private relationship with Shen Congjia, and now you are even running over to have a private meeting with him?"
Hearing this, Ah Yan became more and more afraid, and shook his head desperately: "No!"
The Nine Emperor Princes raised their eyebrows: "Really?"
Ah Yan's back suddenly chilled, and he hurriedly admitted: "Yes, I admit it, he asked someone to hand me a flower note and asked me to meet here!
The Nine Emperor Prince's eyebrows became more and more cold: "What did he say about the flower note he gave you?"
What was said?
Ah Yan thought blankly, Shen Congjia said that he didn't want to lose himself in this life, but he couldn't tell the Nine Emperors about this.
Because the explanation is not clear, and he can't understand it, in case he misunderstands, I'm afraid that he will think that he and Shen Congjia have a personal affair! And once this matter is misunderstood, then her reputation will be ruined all at once!
She frowned in embarrassment, desperately wondering how to explain this.
The Nine Emperors looked down at the look on her face, and when he saw her anxious and embarrassed look, the coldness on his face gradually faded, and he squatted down and looked at her at eye level.
"Gu Yan, I want you to tell me the truth, if he is not lame, do you really want to marry him?"
Ah Yan raised his eyes, and in the dark, he just crashed into that pair of cold and deep eyes that could not see the bottom.
She couldn't help but shiver, and a lot suddenly came to her mind.
For example, the white figure seen in the ancestral hall that night, such as the dream of the Nine Emperor Princes that night.
Fear gradually appeared in her eyes, and her eyes even began to moisten.
She shook her head helplessly, bit her lip and whispered, "No, I didn't want to marry him." I follow the arrangements of the government in everything, obey the orders of my ancestors and mother, and I never dare to make my own opinions, let alone grant them privately. ”
