Chapter 37 Counting is Counting

This pitiful and childish appearance is the first time I have seen it. Zhao Xinyue's heart softened into a pool of spring water, knelt on the soft couch, combed his ink hair with her fingers, and tied his hair skillfully. "Okay, like it or not?"

"I don't like it." Ji Chaoge looked back at the reflection in the mirror, and felt a tightness in his chest for no reason, "Did you often tie his hair before?" ”

A woman only ties the hair of her beloved, and her hair binding skills are so skillful that she must have tied the hair of that person in the past. Thinking that she used to tie her hair for Li Huaijin like this, Ji Chaoge was so jealous that she was about to go crazy.

The hand that inserted the hosta paused, and Zhao Xinyue lowered her eyes in confusion, "He? You can't be talking about Li Huaijin, right? ”

"Hmm." His mind was exposed, and instead of feeling ashamed, Ji Chaoge nodded confidently. "You are so skilled in bundling his hair, did you often tie his hair before?"

Zhao Xinyue put the hosta in a funny way, and smoothed out the slightly wrinkled sleeves for him, but her tone was full of reminiscence, "It's ridiculous, I have been his childhood sweetheart for ten years, and I have never tied his hair once or cut his clothes once." I think I was let down by him, and now that I think about it, there are really few things I have done for him. ”

"Do you regret it?" Ji Chaoge didn't know what kind of mood she was feeling, whether she should be happy that she had never tied her hair for him, or should she be sad that she had always had other men in her heart.

Zhao Xinyue touched her chin, and really thought about this problem seriously, but she hadn't come up with a clue yet, and suddenly there was a pain in her lips, and when she raised her eyes, she saw him biting herself with anger. "You belong to a dog, why did you bite me again?"

"I don't allow you to regret it, you don't!" Seeing that she really started to think, Ji Chaoge's heart was flustered, and he couldn't help biting her lip fiercely. "I'm better than him, my martial arts are higher than him, and I'm better looking than him, I don't allow you to regret it."

Just for this, he just bit her? Zhao Xinyue couldn't cry or laugh a little, and put her hands on his shoulders to look at him, "I don't regret it, I just feel a little emotional." Ten years of childhood sweethearts, it's finally time to let go. I used to think that I was afraid that I would not be able to get out of the cage he weaved in this life, but now that I look back, it is not that I can't get out, but I am reluctant to step out. But you see, as long as I take a small step forward, the heavens and the earth will suddenly open up, and there is nothing in this world that I can't afford to put down. ”

It was obviously an open-minded word, but it fell in Ji Chaoge's ears like a thorn, piercing his heart and making him uncomfortable. "If you can afford to let him go, what about me, isn't it the same?"

Suddenly, Ji Chaoge wanted to ask for an answer, he wanted to know if in her heart, he was the same as Li Huaijin, if he betrayed the slightest betrayal, he would be expelled forever.

"What do you compare to him, what do you compare to." Zhao Xinyue patted his face and smiled full of teasing. "You're my big beauty, my hundredth face, have you forgotten?"

"You also said that I am also the king of the fiefdom, and you, as a princess of a country, forcibly tied me up, and you are not afraid that the East Window incident will embarrass Your Majesty." Thinking of this stubble, Ji Chaoge couldn't help but sigh and make people, even if he was forcibly married by her once, this marriage was really confused.

Zhao Xinyue shrugged her shoulders indifferently and smiled hippiely, "What are you afraid of, I've been ridiculous for so many years, and I haven't seen the emperor's brother reproach for half a sentence." Even if the East Window incident happened, the royal brother would only turn a blind eye, and it was a big deal to marry you and me, and expose this absurd thing in a daze. ”

It's strange to say that when the marriage was granted, the emperor did respond to his requests, and he looked like he was afraid of wronging him. Now that I think about it, the Emperor of Feelings knows everything, so what he did was just to make up for him and preserve the dignity of the king of his fiefdom?

"Your royal brother is also heartbroken for you." Ji Chaoge shook her head while laughing, but saw that her eyes were suddenly sharp as knives. "What's wrong?"

The royal brother really broke his heart for her, and just based on a joke from the national teacher back then, he broke up her marriage and broke all her hopes. "If I meet Ning Qiancheng again one day, I will definitely cramp and skin him."

"Such a big feud?" Ji Chaoge was startled, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and a trace of surprise slipped through his starry eyes.

Zhao Xinyue nodded heavily, and said hatefully: "If he hadn't talked nonsense back then, how could the imperial brother be so jealous of me?!" ”

If the imperial brother doesn't regard her as a lifelong enemy, how can he say that there is a martyrdom in the world, and the emperor needs generations of loyal people to become monks on behalf of the saint to sue for the crime of dereliction of duty, forcing Li Huaijin to give up his glory, cut off love, and become a monk?

Although she resented Li Huaijin for losing herself over the years, she also knew in her heart that he had just suffered it for her. The imperial brother was afraid of her, how could he watch her marry the Li family, who was in charge of the 600,000-strong army? She has no military power, and he is still afraid of it; If she really marries Li Huaijin, the imperial brother will not behead the Li family?

Ji Chaoge was very curious, holding her hand and playing carefully, "What did the national teacher say?" Why did your majesty fear you? ”

Thinking of the hexagram that Ning Qiancheng calculated back then, Zhao Xinyue was so short of breath that she wanted to hit someone.

"The old god only glanced at me, and then confused my father and said that I would eventually rule the world, and the phoenix would be in Kyushu. My father was convinced of his words, and even moved the idea of abolishing the crown prince and making me the crown princess. Later, my father died, and my brother successfully ascended the throne, but this matter has always been a thorn in my brother's heart, and I am also wary of it. After speaking, he angrily tugged at the veil on his belt, and added very madly, "But how wronged I am, why do people believe the nonsense of that old god?!" Silly or not? ”

The more Ji Chaoge listened, the more frightened she became, holding her face and looking at it carefully, she couldn't help but sigh: "So, I actually married the empress who will rule Kyushu in the future?!" ”

As soon as the sky was slightly bright, a slight human voice sounded in the Nanyang Station.

"Huai Jin, are you still going to Nanyang Wangfu today?" As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Du Yuan finished playing a set of swordsmanship, and when he turned around, he saw Li Huaijin standing under the dead tree in a green shirt, staring at the sky and not knowing what he was thinking.

Nanyang is different from other cities, it is like spring all year round, even in winter, and everything is verdant. But at this moment, Li Huaijin was standing under a dead tree with a dead face, and for some reason Du Yuan suddenly felt unlucky.

"Huai Jin!" Du Yuan put his sword into the sheath and strode towards Li Huaijin. "Don't stand here, come with me to dinner."

Li Huaijin was hooked by his neck, and he stood on the ground in a green shirt like a cypress pine, and let him drag and drag without moving. "Go ahead, leave me alone."

"How long will you be stubborn? She is already married, how many times do you have to say it before you can recognize the truth? What's the use of you standing here? Even if you stand in the wilderness, she won't know, and she won't look back at you, not even a glance. Du Yuan ran out of patience and grabbed him by the collar and roared in a low voice.

"I know." Li Huaijin brushed away his hand, his eyes were as cold as water, hiding a little imperceptible tingling. Dressed in a green shirt, it was as clear and compelling, and there was a faint and alienated smile on Ruyu's face. "Needless to say many times, I know she's married."

Du Yuan suddenly deflated, and pulled his hair in annoyance, "Then what are you still stubborn about, is it interesting to torture yourself like this?" ”

It's one thing to know, it's another to be able to let go. Li Huaijin smiled silently and bitterly, raised his hand to hold his heart, and looked directly into Du Yuan's eyes, his eyes full of bitterness: "But I can't let it go here, even if it is the day I die, I can't let it go." ”

"You! You idiot! Big fool. Du Yuan's eyes were red with anger, and he slapped his shoulder hard, but he couldn't persuade him anymore. If a person drinks water, how can others talk too much?

Li Huaijin nodded with a wry smile and agreed: "Yes, we are all fools, big fools." ”

Du Yuan admired Jingyang, he knew three years ago that instead of feeling angry, he felt that he should take it for granted.

A woman of such grace and beauty, the man who loves her must be like a carp crossing the river. It's just that he didn't expect that the marriage of heaven was just a dream in the end, she woke up but he was still in a dream.

Du Yuan felt uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had been blocked with a ball of wet cotton, and he couldn't breathe if he couldn't get up or down. "Then do you still go to Nanyang Wangfu today?"

"Naturally, I want to go, Your Majesty specially appointed me as the doctor of the decree, and this decree must always be read out in person." Li Huaijin raised his eyebrows lightly, his thin lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were slightly gloomy, and all his emotions were restrained.

Except for sighing, Du Yuan didn't know what else to say. I had to order someone to prepare a prayer post, and let people send it to Nanyang Wangfu early in the morning. The errand given by His Majesty this time is really embarrassing. Isn't it easy to cut down the feudal domain, Your Majesty thinks that just by virtue of a holy decree, the vassal kings of all walks of life will be obedient? Naive!

I thought that I would eat another closed-door soup, but before the worship post was delivered, Nanyang Wangfu sent a carriage to pick up people.

"Huai Jin, Nanyang Wangfu sent a carriage to pick it up, do you want to go?" Du Yuan was suspicious, for fear that this was a trap.

Hearing this, Li Huaijin put down the teacup, got up and walked out with a smile on the corner of his mouth. "It's rare for the King of Nanyang to have a heart, so naturally he wants to go."

Seeing that he got into the carriage without hesitation, Du Yuan hurriedly turned over and followed closely after him, "Huai Jin, the king of Nanyang has closed the door several times, and now he suddenly sent a carriage to pick him up, will there be a problem?" ”

"Rest assured, the king of Nanyang is good at strategy and meticulous as dust; Likes to attack and is resourceful. He disdained to do such a stupid thing as designing a pit to kill the envoy of the proclamation. Raising the curtain, Li Huaijin went straight to the carriage.

Du Yuan thought about it carefully, what kind of demeanor Nanyang Wang Ji Chaoge was, and he categorically disdained to do such indiscriminate things. So he also put his mind at ease, and rode with peace of mind and followed the carriage towards the front.

The carriage staggered for an hour, but it went further and further away, and finally went directly out of the west gate and stopped in front of a birch forest. The coachman found an excuse and trotted into the birch grove, never to come out again.

Du Yuan sat on the back of the horse and waited and waited, but he never saw the coachman come out, so he couldn't help frowning and said, "Huaijin, it seems that something is wrong." ”
