Chapter 24: Sister-in-law, Save Me

"How's the situation going? How is the world? What are you doing with so much care for your little daughter's family? Changlin opened the jade bone fan with a bang, touched the jade bone and glanced at her.

Zhao Xinyue shook her head solemnly and corrected: "I was born in the royal family, and I am the only eldest princess in the entire royal family. It's okay in peacetime, if the world is really in turmoil, I will defend the dignity of the royal family and help the royal brother. ”

Seeing that she was serious, she sighed with hatred, "You let me say what is good about you, it is really good to forget the pain of the scar." Keep saying that it's your royal brother, have you forgotten how your imperial brother treated you? ”

"I can't forget it, but I remember my father's explanation to me when he was dying, if he is incompetent, he can only protect himself, and if he has more than enough strength, he should protect the emperor's brother. Now that I have fled the capital and are far away in Nanyang, the court can't help the imperial brother, so I can only raise soldiers in the fiefdom in case of emergency. ”

Changlin was angry and funny when he heard it, rolled his eyes at the sky, and said angrily: "Who is Your Majesty today?" Does he need you to protect him? Don't you just help him count the money when he sells him, and you still want to help him? Does he need your help? ”

"Whether he needs it or not is one thing, and whether I have the heart or not is another. Oops, why do you always go against me? Born with a reflex, isn't it? Zhao Xinyue was choked by him and was speechless for a while, and her phoenix eyes were so angry that her little face puffed up.

Knowing that he couldn't say anything about her, he pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and suddenly there was an extra cup of tea in front of him, and he looked up at Bai Ying's reddish eyes. "You bullied her?"

"Nope." When the last stroke fell, Zhao Xinyue put down the purple jade pen in her hand and shook the rice paper to dry the ink on it. "Here's it."

"What?" Changlin took it with his hand, lowered his eyes and gasped. "Are you crazy?"

Zhao Xinyue plucked her ears indifferently, squinted her eyes and smiled heartlessly, "You just make me crazy." ”

With a snap, Chang Lin put the palm rice paper back on the table, and looked at Zhao Xinyue's eyes with a slightly cold light, "Whether you are crazy or not, I will definitely not help you in this matter." ”

"What are you doing, you said before that you were willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for me, and you were willing to do anything, but now this is a slap in the face?" Zhao Xinyue didn't expect him to react so much, took the rice paper and stuffed it into his palm, and coaxed him with good words: "Changlin beauty, you dare to admit the second in terms of making money, no one dares to recognize the first." I'll have a lot of money to use in the future, and you'll have to help me with this anyway. ”

Her arm was grabbed by her and shook, and Changlin lowered her eyes to meet the other party's smiling eyes, and the depression in her stomach dissipated. "If you lack money, I'll give it to you, you can ask for as much as you want. There is really no need to put the dowry that the emperor saved for you into it, even if you don't feel distressed, I also feel sorry for you. ”

Zhao Xinyue smiled, touched her nose weakly, and the faint light in her eyes gradually lit up. "Really, if I am short of money, you will give it, as much as you want?"

"Hmm." Changlin nodded solemnly, and immediately realized that something was wrong, and looked at her suspiciously, "Are you fooling me?" ”

"No, absolutely not, I'm that kind of person." Zhao Xinyue waved her hand and said with a straight face.

Changlin gazed at her up and down carefully, and nodded solemnly, "Yes." ”

Why is this person still so uncute! For the sake of his willingness to be a cash cow for her, Zhao Xinyue decided not to bother with him. "I haven't been in contact with Qingxuan for a long time, and I don't know what happened to Jingyang?"

Seeing her looking at herself with big eyes, Changlin secretly sighed for injustice, helped her back to the soft couch and lay down her sleeves, and sat on her legs to pinch her legs for her. "I haven't heard from you for a long time, Qingxuan wrote to ask about your current situation, I thought that I couldn't hide it, so I simply told him the truth. He learned that you were sick, arranged all the things he was anxious about, and set off for Nanyang, calculating that the days should be only these two days. ”

"What?" Zhao Xinyue was dumbfounded, her hand loosened the walnut and fell to the ground, and she rolled to the door.

Thinking of how anxious Qing Xuan should be when she knew that she was sick, Zhao Xinyue immediately sat up straight and said anxiously, "How can you tell him that I am sick?" With his temperament, if he knew that I was sick, he would definitely take me to Jingyang regardless of it! Long coming, long coming, you are trying to kill me. ”

"Humph!" Changlin snorted coldly, lifted her legs and threw them on the soft couch, holding her chest with both hands and staring at her condescendingly, "Are you afraid that he will be angry, so you are not afraid that I will worry?" After being sick for two months, the original child himself was not good, and he still tossed himself like this, but I thought that we would also be distressed. ”

Being sick is not what she asks for, how can she say that it is a great sin for her to be sick?

Zhao Xinyue was speechless, and was about to defend herself a few words, when she saw Ji Qingqing running into the courtyard with a pale face. "Someone is coming, you hide first."

looked at her deeply, Changlin didn't say a word, lifted his robe and jumped directly onto the beam, saw her look at herself in surprise, and threw a smug look at her.

"Your Highness." Bai Ying glanced at the beam of the house worriedly, and saw that Ji Qingqing had already walked to the door and reminded in a low voice.

"Please come in." Zhao Xinyue waved her hand, leaned weakly on the soft couch, and yawned with tears in her eyes.

Ji Qingqing came in quickly, the snow-white Luo skirt fluttered in the wind, Xu was walking too quickly, stumbling like a white butterfly with folded wings, fluttering her injured wings and her eyes were red and kneeling in front of her soft couch.

"Sister-in-law!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xinyue looked at her in surprise, but it was very rare for her to show such a look, as if she had been bullied miserably.

As soon as she remembered what she overheard before, Ji Qingqing was so aggrieved that tears fell, "Sister-in-law, save me." ”

Zhao Xinyue heard it for a while, and turned her head to ask the maidservant beside Ji Qingqing, "What's wrong with the county lord?" ”

The maid hurriedly knelt down, glanced at her county lord in embarrassment, and said truthfully: "The county lord heard some words, and he was afraid for a while, so he disturbed the princess. ”

What did you hear that could make this little demon who dared to embarrass himself on his wedding night so scared that he shed tears?

"What are you listening to?" Zhao Xinyue was extremely curious, and sat up straight with her arms propped up.

Ji Qingqing was just so anxious that she shed tears, but she couldn't even speak clearly with a handkerchief.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for her to speak, Zhao Xinyue simply turned her head and asked the maid, "What did the county lord hear?" ”

The maid trembled and told the matter again, carefully examined the princess's expression, and was slightly relieved to see that she was not displeased.

"Nanyang wants to marry Qin Yang?" After a while, Zhao Xinyue touched the corners of her eyes and chuckled, but she didn't know who she was asking.

Ji Qingqing was still wiping her tears, and when she heard this, she hummed and said hatefully: "My brother is also blinded by lard, and he actually let the people from Qin Yang talk nonsense in the study for so long. ”

The evening breeze blew through the Fengwu Palace, and inexplicably blew the noise outside in, vaguely mixed with some human voices, and passed the moon gate leading to the Fengwu Palace in the blink of an eye.

"Princess, there are guests in the house, and the master asks you to entertain one or two." Qingfeng stepped forward quickly, standing outside the door to report before the group came.

Zhao Xinyue didn't move, she didn't even raise her eyes, and her jade hand patted Ji Qingqing's back for a while, as if she didn't see the breeze outside the door at all, and the uninvited guests who broke into the courtyard like a carp crossing the river.

"Princess, there are guests in the house, and the master asks you to entertain one or two." Afraid that she didn't hear clearly, Qingfeng shouted hard.

This time, Zhao Xinyue laughed out loud, squinting and looking at Qingfeng with a smile, "Fake the prince's mouth, what crime should you be guilty of Qingfeng?" ”

Qingfeng was stunned, his face was confused, "The subordinates did not fake the prince's message. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ji Qingqing, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up, glared at Qingfeng and said angrily: "You still say that there is no fake message from my brother?" My sister-in-law needs to rest well after recovering from a serious illness, and my brother feels sorry for my sister-in-law before it's too late, how can she let her entertain any guests?! Besides, what kind of amazing guest is it that wants Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to entertain in person? What a big face! ”

Qingfeng was frightened stupidly, he didn't expect the county lord to be so angry, but the prince had to do it. "Princess, this is the prince's explanation, and his subordinates are just passing the word."

"The word has arrived, go down." Zhao Xinyue yawned, waved at him with teary eyes, and signaled that he could step down.

What is this? Qingfeng retreated suspiciously, and saw that the envoy of Qin Yang was already standing in the courtyard waiting, so he hurriedly raised his feet and ran back to the study to report the matter.

"She doesn't want to receive people from Qin Yang?" The writing hand paused, Ji Chaoge raised his eyes slightly, and his expression was faint.

Qingfeng shook his head, and then nodded again, for relief: "The princess didn't say anything, and her subordinates didn't know whether they wanted to or not." ”

Laughing lightly, Ji Chaoge shook his head: "She must be unwilling, I'm afraid that she has already been angry with this king." ”

Qingfeng was dumbfounded, and was inexplicably a little anxious, "Master, do you want to invite those people to the other hospital, the princess is afraid that she can't be too tired when she recovers from her serious illness." ”

The last stroke fell, Ji Chaoge casually threw the jade pen into the pen wash, slightly rolled up his sleeves, the Buddha beads slipped from the wrist and fell into the palm, and the hand was warmly dyed with Buddha incense.

"This king asks you, if you love honey and there is a poison wrapped in honey in front of you, will you eat it or not?"

What kind of problem is this? Qingfeng immediately shook his head, "Don't eat." ”

"Why?" Ji Chaoge frowned and looked up at him.

Qingfeng tilted his head, and said with a serious face: "Because I know that there is poison in honey." ”

Yes, who would eat honey knowing that it was wrapped in poison?

Ji Chaoge pulled his lips self-deprecatingly, leaned his whole body on the back of the chair, and casually picked up a book to cover his eyebrows. "Isn't this king stupid?"

Qingfeng was confused by the question, and shook his head busily, "The prince has the world in mind and is wise, how can he be stupid." ”

is not stupid, how can she know that she is a honey poison, but she is still moved, is it too late to get back the sincerity she offered?

After living for more than 20 years, Ji Chaoge has never been in love with anyone, and it is the first time he has tasted love, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be the same as he thought.

"Master?" Seeing that his expression was wrong, Qingfeng called out worriedly.
