Chapter 25: Shen Qingxuan
The coolness came with the evening breeze, Ji Chaoge closed his eyes and frowned, his chin tightened, and his thin lips pursed into a line. "Tell the Nanyang envoy that the marriage is due."
"Master!" Qingfeng was so frightened that his face turned white. "What about the princess?"
When did the people in the courtyard disperse, and when did Ji Qingqing leave, the sleepy Zhao Xinyue didn't know anything about it.
In a daze, someone seemed to carry her to the bed, gently removed her shoes and socks, and her feet suddenly warmed, as if she was wrapped in a thick palm.
It's a good feeling, it turns out that she also has a day of being pampered. In a trance, Zhao Xinyue began to fall into a nightmare again, only this time she did not dream of Li Huaijin again, but dreamed that she was under the cliff and climbed up very hard.
Just when she was so tired that she wanted to give up, a white and slender hand suddenly appeared in front of her, she couldn't see the other party's face clearly, but she recognized the Buddha beads with Buddha incense on the other party's wrist.
Heart, inexplicably warm, handed over his hand to the other party, the other party took her to fly up very easily, just when she was about to reach the top of the cliff, the hand suddenly pushed her away, and said viciously: Do you think I am going to save you?
Zhao Xinyue woke up in shock, stretched out her hand and pressed her heart tightly, the feeling of weightlessness was still in her heart, and it really made her heart palpitate uncomfortable.
"Your Highness?" Hearing the voice, Bai Sakura walked in quickly and held the lamp.
The moon was thick, and the white moonlight, bright as water, shone through the window, illuminating the bed like water waves. Zhao Xinyue subconsciously reached out to grab it, but there was nothing.
Thinking of that dream, Zhao Xinyue still had palpitations, and her throat tightened, "Bai Ying, who has been here?" ”
"No one." Bai Ying shook her head, vaguely guessing what the master was asking, and added, "The prince went to another courtyard and was not in the mansion." ”
Zhao Xinyue was stunned, covered her lips for a moment and smiled bitterly, and shook her head self-deprecatingly. She was so stupid to think that he had taken good care of her for two months, and they could be regarded as opening up and being honest, but it was still just wishful thinking on her part, nothing more.
"Your Highness?" Seeing that her expression was wrong, Bai Sakura called out worriedly.
"I'm fine, I just suddenly figured out something." Zhao Xinyue wiped her eyes, but fortunately she didn't shed tears. "Qin Yang wants to get married, what did he say?"
Hearing this, Bai Sakura's face darkened, looked at her master worriedly, and shook her head in a low voice. "The slave doesn't know."
"But it doesn't matter, your master hasn't seen any big winds and waves, and this little thing can't scare me."
Bai Sakura gritted her teeth, knowing that even if she didn't say it, Her Highness would know sooner or later. "The prince agreed."
"Oh? He couldn't wait, he couldn't wait for only three months. Zhao Xinyue blinked with a smile, and her phoenix eyes were still charming and affectionate, which made people not feel sad.
She is like this, the more sad and sad she is, the more dignified and generous she is, and she hides her heart deeply, and no one can see anything from her face.
Bai Sakura had been serving her for many years, and when she saw her smile indifferent, she said worriedly: "Your Highness, aren't you angry?" ”
"Men should get married, women should get married, I'm not, why should I be angry." Leaning on the cushion, Zhao Xinyue yawned, saw Bai Ying looking at herself with a bitter face, and waved her hand funny, "Don't look like you're about to cry, you don't know your master, men are not the same as the handkerchiefs in the cabinet, how much they want." If he is one less Ji Chaoge, there can be tens of millions of Zhang Chaoge and Li Chaoge in this palace, and it is not a matter of one sentence who you want. ”
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing the white robe of the man outside the door, the hand on the door was clenched in vain, the dark brown Buddha beads slid across the wrist, and the light Buddha fragrance was dyed with seven points of coolness.
Qingfeng looked at his prince worriedly, wanting to persuade but didn't know what to say. The princess is really, why did she decide to give up the prince without asking?
Ji Chaoge's eyes were slightly gloomy, the corners of his mouth were self-deprecatingly raised, and he slowly withdrew his hand, his face was unprecedentedly ugly.
It turned out that he had always been self-inflicted.
Sure enough, the poison wrapped in honey, even if you pretend not to know it, the sweetness is gone, and the poison is still poison.
The white robe is like a sharp blade, cutting through the night shrouded in white moonlight. Ji Chaoge turned around suddenly, raised his feet and walked quickly away from Fengwu Palace. He walked fast and fast, as if he feared that if he walked slowly, he would never be able to get out of her cage again.
"Master?" Qingfeng glanced back at the Fengwu Palace, which was lit up, and hurried to catch up with him worriedly.
The autumn in Nanyang was rainy, and she was forced by Bai Ying to add two clothes, and Zhao Xinyuetuan yawned on the soft couch, like a well-fed cat, squinting her eyes to nourish her spirit.
"Your Highness, Lord Qingxuan is here." Incense was burned in the house, and when the door opened, the cool breeze curled green smoke. Through the green smoke, Bai Sakura couldn't really see the face of her master.
Zhao Xinyue yawned, beckoned to Qing Xuan with teary eyes, and waited for someone to sit on the embroidery stool in front of the soft couch, before she opened her arms to him and coquettishly said: "Qing Xuan, you are here." ”
Seeing her holding her sleeve like this, Qing Xuan couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and through the green smoke, she seemed to see the little girl sitting barefoot on the Feiyun Platform and crying.
As soon as her heart twitched, Qing Xuan subconsciously wanted to reach out and hold her into her arms, just like when she was young.
But as soon as her fingers moved, her face after the green smoke gradually became clear, and the little girl who used to cry and hiccup now has bright eyes and bright teeth, and she is no longer at the age when she can be comforted by him in her arms.
"Your Highness, your subordinates are late, and you have suffered." The wide sleeves hung down, hiding his hands clenched into fists, Qing Xuan took a deep breath, and then looked up to a pair of extremely good-looking peach blossom eyes full of love for the younger generation.
didn't get the hug he wanted, Zhao Xinyue pouted unhappily, pulled his sleeve and began to play tricks, "Qingxuan, don't you want me anymore?" It's been so long, and they don't come to see me. ”
What a squeamish child, Qing Xuan's eyes were full of love, and after struggling for a while, he finally reached out and covered the top of her head, "How come?" That is, the whole world is the enemy of His Highness, and I, Qingxuan, will always stand with you. If you want to kill, Qingxuan is the knife in your hand; If you want to rule the world, Qingxuan is the pen in your hand; If someone wants to kill you, Qingxuan is your shield and will never turn his back on you. ”
"Qingxuan, it's better for you." Zhao Xinyue's nose was sour, like a child who had finally seen his relatives, got up and threw herself into his arms and sobbed lowly. "Qingxuan, I'm sad, I'm so sad in my heart."
"What's wrong? Who bullied His Highness? His chest was wet, and Qing Xuan's throat tightened, as if he had been pinched hard, making him breathless.
Zhao Xinyue buried in his heart and shook his head vigorously, choking and muttering: "I don't know, it seems that the whole world is bullying me." ”
This idiot! Qing Xuan sighed helplessly, raised his eyes and motioned for Bai Ying to twist a handkerchief, and lowered his head to gently wipe the tears from her face for her. "Don't be sad, with Qing Xuan here, no one can bully His Highness anymore."
"Really?" Zhao Xinyue subconsciously raised her head, looked at Qing Xuan's tight jaw, and asked blankly.
"Really." Qing Xuan gently patted her on the back, just like when he lulled her to sleep every night when she was young. "Your Highness is not afraid, Qingxuan will always protect Your Highness."
It was an extremely unruly scene, Bai Sakura's eyes were red, but Changlin clenched his fists. The breeze and drizzle were cool, and the house was quiet, and no one made a sound.
After a while, Qing Xuan settled down Zhao Xinyue, who was asleep, and looked up at Bai Ying and Changlin, who were dressed in Xuan Yi and were overwhelming. "Who will tell me why Your Highness is so sad?"
Facing Shen Qingxuan, Changlin put away his previous cynicism, saluted him respectfully, and pointed to the door and made an inviting gesture.
Seeing this, Qing Xuan frowned slightly, but he did not object, and with a touch of the hem of the dark robe, Tie Qing walked out with a blue face. "Tell me, what's going on?"
"Your Highness, it seems that you have someone you like." After thinking about it for a long time, Changlin sighed lightly.
Qing Xuan frowned unhappily, his sword eyebrows were as sharp as knives, and he just wanted to be angry, but a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "She let go of Li Huaijin?" Seeing Changlin nodded, he asked eagerly, "Who is it?" "Who has such a great ability to make this idiot let go of Li Huaijin.
After organizing the vocabulary a little, Changlin stiffened his face and said, "It's Ji Chaoge." ”
"Nanyang Wang Ji Dynasty Song? His Royal Highness's rightful husband? Qing Xuan's eyes widened, but then he smiled and nodded. This is a good thing, I heard that the king of Nanyang, Wen Tao, is strategic, resourceful, and matched, and he is also a good match for His Royal Highness. ”
"Now it's not a question of whether it's a good match or not, but there seems to be a gap between His Royal Highness and the King of Nanyang."
"How long have they known each other, and it's too late for them to make friends, where is the estrangement?" Qing Xuan said strangely, his face full of disbelief.
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Changlin was anxious, "Don't believe it, Your Highness has been sick for two months, and Ji Chaoge has been taking care of him in front of the bed for two months." Even the heart cast in copper and iron will be melted, not to mention our highness who values love and righteousness. ”
Qing Xuan squeezed the sleeve that slid into the palm of his hand, held his breath and thought about it, and asked uncertainly: "Then you mean to say that His Highness likes the other party, but the other party doesn't like our Highness?" ”
"I didn't say that," Changlin hurriedly waved his hand and glanced at the courtyard of the autumn rain, "I always feel that Ji Chaoge is unfathomable, and his emotions are rarely exposed, but if he doesn't like His Highness, it's not like it." ”
No matter how emotionally exposed people are, they can't hide it when they meet someone they really like.
Raising his eyes and glancing at the direction of the south courtyard of the palace, Qing Xuan pondered for a moment, casually pulled the handkerchief in Changlin's sleeve to cover his face, and in the other party's stunned sight, it was like a low-flying swift, and a few ups and downs merged into the rain curtain and disappeared.
"Where's Lord Qingxuan?" Shirakura heard that there was no sound outside, and when she came out, she found that there was one missing.
Changlin opened his mouth in surprise, pointed in the direction of the guide courtyard, and came back to his senses after a while. "He's like...... I went to the South Courtyard. ”
The autumn rain continued, and everything in the world was wet, Ji Chaoge stood by the window, and for some reason he was so depressed that he hated to fight with people.
"Master, there is someone outside the door." Qingfeng glanced at the dark shadow outside the door and whispered a reminder.
"Who?"
