Chapter Sixty-Eight: This Cruel Thought
I thought that this was the end of the matter, but on the way to Xiyuan, Zheng Luoting was waiting there. He had a lot of doubts and wanted to understand, and at the same time he wondered when he was so concerned about women's affairs. But how did he ask? They just live under one roof, and if you want to talk about relationships, you can't talk about it at all.
The black shadow that suddenly appeared in front of him startled Ye Jiaojiao, "Your Highness, people are scary and scared to death!" "How did this cold man learn the monster set?
"Zhao Jiaojiao!" He rarely called her by name, and it still felt a little strange, "Let's move back to Wutong Garden in two days!" "I still can't ask, what is the relationship between her and Uncle Huang?
"Really?" After a night of running, there is still something to gain in the end. "What about you? Still living in a study? ”
Does she care about herself? "Let's have a yard cleaned up again!" Zheng Luoting stood there, and suddenly felt that he and the woman in front of him hadn't spoken a few times, and he was speechless for a while.
"Princess!" Ani ran over panting, God knows how frightened she was when she saw the princess being stuffed into the carriage by King Xi, for fear that the princess would be killed! "Are you alright?" She looked up and down.
"It's okay!" Looking at the embarrassed Ani, Ye Jiaojiao gave her a handkerchief, "Wipe your sweat!" ”
Looking at the pair of masters and servants in front of him, Zheng Luoting couldn't ask anymore, "Two days later, on the princess's birthday, you help prepare a congratulatory gift!" ”
"I don't have any money!" Ye Jiaojiao felt that she was the poorest princess in history, and when Leng Ren said so, there was no reason not to take advantage of the fire to rob.
"Go find Hu Fuzhi tomorrow, he will give it to you!" Zheng Luoting thought for a while, "There should be some things in the palace treasury, you can go there and pick a few, in short, you can look at it!" ”
Is this a windfall? How did he go to Hualou, Leng Ren seemed to be a different person, Ye Jiaojiao was confused, and looked at Zheng Luoting who was walking away, "Your Highness, don't forget to give me the key to the treasury!" ”
Ani saw something, this King Xi wanted his father-in-law to be in charge of the family! "Princess, your hard work has finally impressed Your Highness!"
"Huh?" After a night of tossing, Ye Jiaojiao was already sleepy and tired, and her body collapsed, "Ani, can you carry me back?" ”
"Yes!" Ani didn't say a word, and bent down, "Princess, come up!" ”
Ani ran all the way, already sweating, and even the tips of her hair were hanging with sweat droplets. Ye Jiaojiao patted her back, "Silly girl, I'm laughing, get up!" "God is still kind to her in the end, and gave Ani to her.
The next day, the streets and alleys of Sui'an were talking about last night's Marigold Oiran Competition, it is said that Princess Xi made a big fuss in the flower building, and King Xi pulled a flower girl on the spot and left, so as to humiliate the princess. The thing is about painting and coloring, and Princess Xi is even more said to be a jealous, small-bellied, narrow-minded person, for a while, many people feel sorry for King Xi, there is a fierce woman in the family, it is a regret in life!
At this time, the has a silver ticket in her left hand and a treasury key in her right hand, and she is the richest person in the world and a full winner in life. "Ani, go to Sui'an's biggest treasure house!" The face is even more proud, "There is wine today and drunk today, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon!" "Did you read it wrong?
Ani didn't understand what the princess said, she just wanted the princess to be happy!
After walking around Sui'an City, when Ye Jiaojiao, who was full of wine and food, stepped out of the Quansheng Building, it was already dark, and there were lights in the distance, she snorted disdainfully, "Huajie, there are really a lot of people!" "Looking up at the sky, a full moon was shining brightly, like a silver disk embedded in the air." Ani! What day is it today? ”
"Fifteen!" Ani also looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, she saw her princess running out of the carriage, not caring about her previous image at all!
"Quick! Go home! Ye Jiaojiao hurriedly said to the coachman, "Wait, how far is this place from the Qi Wangfu?" ”
"Back to the princess, it's just two streets!" The coachman replied.
"Don't go home, go to King Qi's Mansion! Fast! "Why are you so confused? If you want to see if the monster has moved, you must try your best to hold him back!
Ani stood on the street, looking at the carriage running away, and the princess left her again, how many times did it happen?
When she arrived at King Qi's Mansion, Ye Jiaojiao jumped out of the carriage and went to knock on the door, thought about it and folded back to carry a gift box. She came rashly, the monster will definitely be suspicious, but fortunately, there is a countermeasure, the gift I bought for the crown princess today, just choose one for him!
"Princess, my Royal Highness is drinking in the courtyard, please come with me!" Qiao Tongxin said so late, how could this princess come here alone.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead as he walked, "Thank you!" ”
In the breeze and the bright moon, the man stood under the tree in a jade-colored robe, holding a glass of wine in his hand, looking back and smiling at the visitor: "Little Half Immortal misses this seat?" ”
Great, this youkai hasn't moved yet. "Your Excellency, is it here to see if you are okay?" As he spoke, he put the gift on the stone table with both hands, "I saw a jade ornament that was very beautiful, so I brought it to you." ”
Rong Xiu sat down in his robe and looked at Ye Jiaojiao, "Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!" ”
"Your Excellency, you have wronged me, am I not afraid that you will be injured yesterday?"
"Oh? Ornaments, yes? "This seems to be the first time that Xiao Banxian has sent him something, she didn't do well before, but she let herself lose a lot of things, it's rare!
Rong Xiu opened the gift box, and when he saw the contents of it, his face immediately changed. "You say it's an ornament?" He pushed the box in front of Ye Jiaojiao.
How so? Ye Jiaojiao looked at the box full of rouge gouache, and said in her heart that she must have been in a hurry just now and carried the wrong box.
Sure enough, there is nothing that this little half-immortal can do, "Where do you think this seat should be placed?" Rong Xiu rubbed his chin and pretended to think deeply, "Or do you think there should be a woman in this house?" ”
Woman? Doesn't this monster like men? Ye Jiaojiao remembered the frivolous behavior of this guy yesterday, and became more and more confused. A gust of wind blew, and the quiet yard was only the chirping of insects in the grass.
Ye Jiaojiao's back was cold, this month was dark and windy, and he was hot-headed to stop the monster, could it be a sheep in the tiger's mouth? No, she doesn't want to be a sheep!
laughed dryly, "Your Excellency, the last time you gathered in the city, did Fifth Master Duan give you any big gifts?" Ye Jiaojiao remembered that he hadn't seen anyone else since he entered the Qi Palace, could it be that those sons were all eaten?
"What gift?" Rong Xiu stood up, "You mean the one who warms the bed?" ”
"No, no, no!" This matter is definitely a shame, Ye Jiaojiao panicked, "It's his sons." ”
This hateful little half-immortal actually thinks of him as that kind of person! "Ye Jiaojiao, you tell this seat again!"
Seeing the monster killing in front of him, Ye Jiaojiao hurriedly shrank his neck, "I'll just say that Duan Wu is a person who has a bad heart and lives himself with his own heart." Kyaukjiao has always firmly believed that the Honorable is a true man who is wise and martial! "Have you been mistaken? She was bitter in her heart.
Rong Xiu snorted, "Did Luo Ting bully you yesterday?" After he crawled out of the cellar, he learned that the little half-immortal had been dragged away by his nephew.
"Strange to say!" Ye Jiaojiao is still puzzled, "It stands to reason that he should hate me to the core, but after he went back, he didn't even say a cruel word, and gave me the key to the warehouse." ”
Rong Xiu didn't speak, just frowned slightly.
"Your Excellency, did you say that he was broken by me, I feel embarrassed!" Ye Jiaojiao pretended to be smart, "Afraid of being rumored, he ran to cast an oiran?" ”
It's definitely a miracle that this little half-immortal can grow so big! Besides, who would hate a fool to the core? In the end, I am young and don't understand anything! It's just that Luo Ting is ready to let her take care of the house?
Don't youkai usually talk a lot? Why is it that you only play and sing by yourself tonight? "Your Excellency, who got yesterday's Oiran?" Ye Jiaojiao's mouth was dry and he had nothing to say, just begging the monster to forget that today is fifteen.
"Oiran?" Rong Xiu paced two steps, "It is said that I was messed up by a flower girl, saying that the dignified Oiran is not as good as a flower girl?" People don't buy it! ”
The sin is not unexpected, but it has ruined other people's business. It's been so long, and no one has entered or left the monster's yard, and Ye Jiaojiao is scared again. "The crown princess's birthday, will you go too?"
"You're in the Covenant?" Rong Xiu seemed to be smiling.
No! Isn't this a no-brainer? "How dare you!"
"Sit down! There's water on the table, pour it yourself! Rong Xiu stretched out his hand to fold a flower, pinched it in his hand and played with it, "What benefits did Taibai and Yue Lao promise you?" ”
Hammered his somewhat sore legs, "An immortal number and an immortal mountain!" Ye Jiaojiao took a sip of water, "But Jiaojiao is doing things for His Excellency now, and he must listen to you!" ”
"Insightful, you will naturally have a bright future with this seat!" Rong Xiu thought that Ye Jiaojiao had finally become smarter, although he knew that she was talking nonsense.
"Didn't the Venerable One say that I am not qualified to be a demon?" Ye Jiaojiao smiled: "Then what can I do?" ”
"Look at your performance!" Rong Xiu walked behind Ye Jiaojiao, gently put the falling purple flower in her hair, and smiled slightly, his vision was really good!
Ye Jiaojiao's back stiffened, and she couldn't help but remember the intimate contact between the two yesterday. Hurriedly got up, "It's late at night, I'm going back!" As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and pull out the purple fall.
"Take it!" Rong Xiu looked at Ye Jiaojiao, who jumped to the side, "What this seat gives you in the future, you are not allowed to refuse!" ”
"Yes! Then I'll go back, if it's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in! "What kind of temper does this monster have? It's been so long, I can't figure it out at all!
"Don't worry, you won't be sleeping on the streets all night!" Rong Xiu picked up the wine glass again.
"Huh?"
"I'm afraid that the cold man won't leave you the door, so I will send someone to tell him that you are here with me!" Drink the wine in the glass, "However, if you want to stay, this seat will take you in!" ”
"No need to ......"
"Your Highness, His Royal Highness King Xi has come down!" Joe Tong came in to report.
Zheng Luoting walked into the courtyard with the moon frost, his heart still couldn't be calm, his princess came to the emperor's uncle's mansion in the middle of the night, what kind of system is this?
"Uncle Huang, I'm here to take Kyaukjiao back home." When he saw a man and a woman in the courtyard, he had the feeling that he was an outsider, "I'm sorry to disturb you!" ”
"It's getting late at night." Rong Xiu stretched his waist, "Let's go back!" ”
Ye Jiaojiao followed Zheng Luoting out of the courtyard, she was glad in her heart: that stupid monster must have forgotten today's day!
"Tianmen Golden Car Red Qilin, Smiling Beauty under the Reincarnation Tower. The bright moon shines on the jade cup, and the purple hair reflects the sideburns. Rong Xiu looked at the figures of the two of them who had disappeared into the night, "Little Half-Immortal, do you know that I also have a share in the matter of the immortal fruit that day?" ”
On the empty streets, only the sound of horses' hooves running forward. It is more deeply exposed, and a little firefly flies among the flowers and trees.
"Why are you not returning home so late?" Looking at the gift box in the carriage, Zheng Luoting asked Ye Jiaojiao, who was silent on the side, "Also, what are you doing at Uncle Huang's?" ”
Leng Ren doesn't ride a horse, just to question her? "I heard that Uncle Huang fell yesterday, and he happened to pass by, so I went to visit!" This reason, even she herself can't say it!
"I thought you were scared of him all along!" He could see that she was cautious in front of the imperial uncle, and suddenly, he stared at Ye Jiaojiao for a moment, "The flower on your head?" "He saw a purple tree in the courtyard of the emperor's uncle, could it be ......
Reaching out and pulling off the purple color, "Maybe it accidentally fell into the hair." "Ye Jiaojiao is lying, that monster is nervous, what is she doing by inserting a flower for her?
Falling? Zheng Luoting didn't believe it, he thought about it inexplicably, in the dead of night, lonely men and widows...... "You should pay attention to your words and deeds, what can you do with your identity, can you not do it, I hope you understand!" ”
Leng Ren is blaming the good guy again, and he is not for him. "Got it!"
At first glance, this woman was perfunctory to him, and there was no repentance at all! Zheng Luoting was a little irritable, "This is the Jin Kingdom, not the Chu Kingdom, you can do anything wrong!" ”
Is there any end! Cold people are also addicted, right? Ye Jiaojiao simply closed her eyes and leaned aside and pretended to be asleep.
The fake sleep became the real sleep, and when he returned to the palace, Ye Jiaojiao was lying in the carriage and didn't know it. Zheng Luoting was a little embarrassed, whether to wake her up, but she obviously slept soundly. And the falling purple on the side stimulated his eyes. He leaned down and hugged Ye Jiaojiao by the waist.
"Ani, don't touch me!" Ye Jiaojiao muttered, but rubbed her head against the place that made her comfortable.
Zheng Luoting's hands couldn't help shaking, stabilized his mind, and got out of the carriage.
Didn't you say that the prince and the princess were a pair of enemies? So what is the current situation...... Hu Fuzhi hurriedly lowered his head and walked forward behind his master.
"Go down!" Zheng Luoting felt that this really made him a little embarrassed, but he liked this feeling, this woman was very light, as light as a feather, I really don't know why she was so sleepy, she could fall asleep anywhere, and she didn't have a little defense.
It seems that something is slowly changing, just like a sudden rainstorm on a sunny day, people who don't like it will find her cuteness, and there are always things that can't be understood.
The next day, Ye Jiaojiao woke up late, and she wondered about the strange expression on Ani's face, as if she was very happy.
"Ani, do you have a sweetheart?" Ye Jiaojiao looked through the rhombic mirror and asked suspiciously.
Ani's face bloomed with a smile, "Congratulations to the princess, you got what you wanted!" ”
Ye Jiaojiao was even more puzzled, "What do you mean?" ”
Carefully pulling the princess's hair, "His Highness sent you back last night, and you fell asleep." Ani remembered her surprise and thought she was dazzled.
Last night? Send it back, fall asleep, look at Ani's ambiguous expression, what else don't you understand! Ye Jiaojiao slapped the table and stood up suddenly, "Oops! "My hair hurts.
"Princess, are you alright?" Ani hurriedly loosened the grate.
Something! Very something! The cold man dared to take advantage of her! Angry, so angry! Be sure to find him a theory! Wait a minute! Calm down, calm down! Shouldn't he have left himself alone?
Ye Jiaojiao walked around the house a few times with her messy hair like a bird's nest. It should be a cold man's chivalrous heart, saving each other from death. Well, it must be! In other words, what he has always been concerned about is the Chen family's water ducks!
Sitting down calmly again, "Ani, why are you stunned?" Comb your hair! ”
At this time, the mother-in-law walked in with a bucket, "Princess, Steward Hu said that this is the fish you asked for the day before yesterday, and I have been keeping it for you!" ”
Two carp swaying their fins in the bucket, "Let's put it first!" Ye Jiaojiao glanced at it.
Futian always makes people lazy, and when Ye Jiaojiao was bored, Qingruo ran over.
"Imperial sister-in-law, let's go to the lake!" Qingru's eyes sparkled, and the two dimples were extremely sweet.
"Good!" Ye Jiaojiao agreed without thinking about it, how could she refuse her niece's request? "When?"
"Now!" Qingruo picked up Ye Jiaojiao and left, "Let's go!" ”
"Wait!" Ye Jiaojiao grabbed Qingruo, "Now? Where to go? ”
"Dongyan Lake on the outskirts of Beijing, the carriage is waiting outside!" Qingruo seemed to yearn for it, "Now the peaches on Dongyan Island should be ripe, let's go pick them together!" ”
"But ......" Ye Jiaojiao was dragged into the carriage, but fortunately, he met Hu Fuzhi when he went out, and explained briefly.
Along the way, Qingruo was full of interest, and she was talking about the scenery of Dongyan Island, which was a royal place. Ye Jiaojiao on the side smiled, this niece's temperament really doesn't look like a royal person.
A two-story pleasure boat has long been waiting on the shore, the blue waves are rippling, the lake breeze is blowing, but it is much cooler than the palace.
The two stepped on the springboard, Ye Jiaojiao was behind, and they were walking, and a hand reached over to help her, and she habitually caught it. When she jumped on the boat, she saw the person who was helping her, and she was immediately frightened and took two steps back.
"Honorable ...... Uncle Huang? "Why is he here? Is it too late to go back now? Ye Jiaojiao turned his head and saw that the ship had left, and his shoulders collapsed.
"Uncle Huang saw that I was bored and panicked, so he proposed to come to the lake." Qingruo smiled, "Such an interesting thing, I first thought of you, the imperial sister-in-law!" ”
O niece and daughter! Don't call your cousin for such an interesting thing in the future! "Yes! How beautiful this lake is! Ye Jiaojiao pretended to enjoy the view.
"This king thinks that if it is a full moon night in the fifteenth month, it will be better to enjoy the scenery on this lake!" Rong Xiu stood at the railing, "It's a pity that I missed it yesterday!" ”
Thankfully, the foolish youkai missed it! Ye Jiaojiao secretly rejoiced that after hearing Qingqingruo's words, she almost fell into the lake.
"Tonight is sixteenth, and the moon is still round? Isn't it the same reward? Qingruo jumped to Zheng Rongxiu's side.
Ye Jiaojiao couldn't help but wonder if this niece she loved was compatible with herself! And the monster said it was possible!
"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay long." Ye Jiaojiao smiled gently, and said a little apologetically: "His Royal Highness King Xi only warned me yesterday and asked me to pay attention to my actions. ”
"Why don't I send someone back and call the Third Emperor Brother as well, how about it?" Harruo suggested, she likes to be lively.
"I'm afraid not!" Rong Xiu answered on the side, "I heard that the emperor sent him a case, he should be very busy these days." ”
The restless Ye Jiaojiao forced himself to be at ease when he came, "It's so hot!" ”
"Let's go sit in the cabin!" Zheng Rongxiu stepped into the cabin first.
"Imperial sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll be with you when I go back, presumably the imperial brother won't say anything!" Qingruo pushed Ye Jiaojiao's shoulders into the cabin.
Niece and daughter, my cousin is worried about your imperial uncle, not your imperial brother! Ye Jiaojiao shook her head and was speechless.
Dongyan Island is not very large, and the whole island is full of peach trees, and there is a garden in the center. When the peaches are ripe, there is a beautiful scenery of a good harvest.
Qingruo pulled Ye Jiaojiao to run around in the peach forest, leaving the shackles of the palace, and the whole person was much happier.
"Ahh Ye Jiaojiao's hair was wrapped around the peach branch, and sure enough, she was only suitable for sleeping at home.
"I'll help you!" Rong Xiu reached out and gently removed the strands of hair from the branches, "The first time I saw you, you were even more embarrassed than this!" He smiled, she really hadn't grown at all these days.
The first time? Isn't it? When he was brought to the tree, normal people would be scared to death! "Uncle Xie Huang!" Ye Jiaojiao was relieved and hurriedly ran away.
"No thanks!" Looking at Ye Jiaojiao's somewhat hasty escape, the corners of Rong Xiu's mouth curled even more, "I'm happy to do this!" ”
"Ahh Ye Jiaojiao didn't know what to be mixed with and fell to the ground.
"Imperial sister-in-law!" Qingruo ran over and helped Ye Jiaojiao up, "Be careful!" ”
It seemed that the weather did not fulfill people's wishes, and when they were about to take the boat back, it rained heavily. Ye Jiaojiao sighed at the rain, his luck was not good, and he should check the yellow calendar when he went out.
It was getting dark, and what made Ye Jiaojiao even more desperate was that the monster decided to stay on Dongyan Island at night and return to Beijing the next day.
After having a tasteless dinner, Ye Jiaojiao and Qingruo walked around and saw a few little maids playing stone chess in the pavilion. Qingruo is a person who loves to join in the fun, and decided to learn this stone chess right away.
The rain was dripping, and Ye Jiaojiao felt sleepy and decided to go back to the house to sleep first. Yawning, she searched her room through the corridors. How important is Ani? At least she can show you the way wherever you go.
There was no way to the end of the corridor, Ye Jiaojiao sighed, turned his head and walked back.
"What are you looking for?"
The sudden sound startled Ye Jiaojiao, but when she turned her head, she saw that on the second floor of the small building not far away, Rong Xiu was sitting on the railing of the balcony, looking at her against the pillar behind her.
"Your Excellency!" It's hell to be able to run into him everywhere. "I'm looking for my way!"
"You thought you'd be looking for me?" Rong Xiuyang raised his good-looking smile, "Come up!" ”
Ye Jiaojiao walked up to the small building with a hard head, "Do you have something to order?" Looking at Zheng Rongxiu, who was dressed casually, his hair was simply tied up, which was simply pleasing to the eye.
Tilting his head to look at Ye Jiaojiao, "Little Half-Immortal, why did I always find out that you were hiding from me?" Zheng Rongxiu played with the jade pendant on his waist.
Isn't this nonsense? If you don't avoid him, will it be possible to send it to his mouth? "I'm afraid of disturbing you." Ye Jiaojiao lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to her eyes.
"But it's useless to hide, you can't run away anyway!" Looking at Ye Jiaojiao, who was forced to be calm, he felt that she was always so interesting, "Who made you too weak, the weak eat the strong, the six realms are universal!" ”
Did this monster have the idea of eating itself? Ye Jiaojiao's mind was spinning, thinking about whether to move it with affection, know it with reason, and tempt it with lust...... No, no, it's a temptation to dispel the cruel idea of the monster.
