Text Chapter 69 Treading the Snow in Early Winter (Promise)
As soon as Xiao Lingxiao escaped from the warm pavilion, she was pulled all the way to a secluded place by Xiao Fengming. Bao Rong'er was in the distance, Xiao Fengming was sure that there was no one around, so he hugged Xiao Lingxiao tightly in his arms with some annoyance.
"What are you doing here?" Xiao Lingxiao was also angry in her heart, and immediately broke free from Xiao Fengming's arms.
Xiao Fengming was even more annoyed after being thrown away, and the words turned around in his mouth a few times, and finally couldn't help but say, "I don't want to see you with them!" ”
Xiao Lingxiao snorted when she heard this, "Do you think I want to be with them?" Didn't you see me looking for a chance to escape! ”
Xiao Lingxiao's words made Xiao Fengming lower his head and bite his lip, of course he could see that Xiao Lingxiao had no intention of being close to the three princes, and those three princes had other plans for Xiao Lingxiao, but even so, he couldn't help but get angry, and couldn't help but want to protect Xiao Lingxiao behind him, or simply hide her from others.
But Xiao Fengming knows very well, where can he hide Xiao Lingxiao? She's better than herself......
"I usually look like a man, why do you suddenly look like a child again?" Xiao Lingxiao found Xiao Fengming's frustration, couldn't help but sigh lightly, took a step closer to him, poked his forehead with the tip of his index finger, and forced him to raise his head.
Xiao Fengming angrily slapped Xiao Lingxiao's hand away, and stretched out his arms again to hold her in his arms. This time, Xiao Lingxiao didn't break free again, but just whispered in his ear, "What if this is seen by others?" ”
"I'll take care of it!"
In the snow, the two hugged tightly like this, and I don't know how long it took before they suddenly heard Bao Rong'er's voice.
"Your Highness Six! You've come here to walk in the snow too? Haha, what a coincidence, my eldest lady is also ......"
After Xiao Lingxiao heard the voice, she hurriedly pushed Xiao Fengming away, Xiao Fengming stood beside Xiao Lingxiao and helped her wipe the snowflakes on her shoulders and hat, and at this time Li Jingxuan had already strode over.
Li Jingxuan thought that the fifth prince Li Jingyan would run out first, and he would definitely find Xiao Lingxiao first, but seeing that there were only two people here, Xiao Lingxiao and Xiao Fengming, Li Jingxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He smiled a little reluctantly, and said to Xiao Fengming, "I have a few words I want to say to Ling Xiao alone, I wonder if Xiao Sangongzi can avoid it for the time being?" ”
Xiao Fengming was stunned when he heard this, but Xiao Lingxiao, who was standing on the side, immediately pulled his sleeve and said, "Fengming, you go and see where Zechun and Zelu are, don't let them be bullied." ”
Xiao Fengming snorted sullenly, glanced at Li Jingxuan coldly and unabashedly, and then threw his sleeves and left.
Li Jingxuan was a little overwhelmed by Xiao Fengming like this, he actually admired this Xiao Fengming very much, and knew that he was a talent who could do great things, but although he tried to get close to this Xiao Fengming, the other party seemed to be very repulsive to him.
"Ling Xiao, did I offend your cousin somewhere?" Li Jingxuan asked inexplicably.
Xiao Lingxiao sighed secretly, even she didn't know how to understand Feng Ming's actions now. You're jealous, aren't you? But isn't he jealous yet? Still is...... Two people have entered the stage of "dating" like this? There doesn't seem to be a "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" in this world, and there doesn't seem to be a "lover" relationship before getting married, right? So......
What the?
Wait a minute...... "lovers"?
Xiao Lingxiao seemed to suddenly react to what the two of them represented just now, and the whole person was instantly stunned.
"Ling Xiao? Lingxiao, what's wrong with you? Li Jing called several times before dragging Xiao Lingxiao's soul back, and he asked in a panic, "Are you uncomfortable there?" ”
Xiao Lingxiao's cheeks were a little rosy, she shook her head vigorously, looked at Li Jingxuan and barely squeezed out a smile, and forced herself to calm down before asking, "What did His Highness Sixth Highness say about looking for me just now?" ”
Hearing Xiao Lingxiao's question, Li Jingxuan's face became a little gloomy again.
"It's the incident I said in the warm pavilion before......" Li Jingxuan sighed, "After the flower thief incident was over, I thought that my father would look at me differently, how do ......you know?"
The emperor did not praise that incident at all, but seemed to be dissatisfied with the final result of that incident, and was even more dissatisfied with Li Jingxuan's position in the whole matter. This dissatisfaction was soon reflected in action, and after Li Jingxuan was left out in the cold for a few days, something was lost in the palace, and the emperor immediately pushed the mess to him again.
It's not the first time that things have been lost in the harem, and according to past experience, once those treasures go out of the palace, it will be difficult to recover. The previous incident of the flower thief was almost impossible to find out, and this time the emperor pushed Li Jingxuan to a difficult case that was almost the same, even if he didn't want to think about it more, Li Jingxuan already knew that his high-ranking father had no love for his son. In the eyes of his father, he may be a waste, or he may not even be a waste, just an eyesore......
The officials who held real power in the DPRK and China, including those who originally supported Li Jingxuan, had already distanced themselves from him, and some of them looked like they were detached, and some simply voted for him, and Li Jingxuan had nothing to do about it.
"I don't know what to do anymore...... Unconsciously, Li Jingxuan told Xiao Lingxiao all the things that had been pressed in his heart these days, and after he finished speaking, he was shocked to find that he not only said things that should not be said, but also complained like a resentful woman in front of Xiao Lingxiao.
Li Jingxuan regretted it a little, and turned his head to look at Xiao Lingxiao with a frown, but saw that her expression was solemn, as if she was thinking about something cautiously.
"Your Highness Six, do you know what the emperor asked you to trace?" Xiao Lingxiao asked softly.
Li Jingxuan saw that Xiao Lingxiao did not look down on him because of his complaints, so he breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Father said that what was lost was something very important, but in fact, I have already inquired, but it is just a guqin, a jade flute, a hairpin, and a troublesome broken stone...... These are all old things left over from the previous dynasty, and the eunuchs and palace maids in the harem have nothing to do and make up some rumors, as if there is really such a thing. Father and Emperor use this as an excuse, but I am afraid that he will be ...... again."
The last sentence Li Jingxuan swallowed back halfway through. He had a chill down his spine, if Xiao Lingxiao in front of him said that he was credible, but he was not a very credible person, I don't know why, Li Jingxuan came to her, as if he couldn't control his mouth.
Xiao Lingxiao didn't care about Li Jingxuan, but was very curious about what he said. The troublesome broken stone was in her hands, and no one knew the origin of the broken stone better than her. Xiao Lingxiao couldn't guess why the emperor asked Li Jingxuan to investigate this matter, but it can be seen from the fact that Su Donghan was a flower thief before that the emperor was a very hidden old fox. Maybe he has already seen through everything, so every arrangement he makes may have a deep meaning.
The reason why the emperor was dissatisfied with the flower thief incident was that Xiao Lingxiao guessed that the emperor was not because Li Jingxuan solved the case, but because the incident did not go according to the emperor's original script.
Su Donghan's death seemed to be an accident for everyone, and it was precisely because of Su Donghan's death that this matter came to light. There was no movement on King Mulder's side for the time being, and it seemed that he was holding his tail and being a man, but in fact, could the old man be willing to do so? The white-haired man sends the black-haired man, and no one can guarantee that the old man will do something like this. The emperor originally wanted to exchange a sixth prince for stability, but now that stability has not been exchanged, how can he be in a good mood.
Xiao Lingxiao looked up at Li Jingxuan, and sighed secretly in his heart, these six princes are also said to be smart people, but what he is good at is only finding clues in reality and sorting out the truth, not speculating on people's hearts. At least when it comes to speculating about the divine will, he is not at all good at it.
Xiao Lingxiao understood most of the reasons why the emperor arranged him to be an outcast, but whether the emperor pushed him to the position of an outcast again this time is difficult to say.
"Sixth Highness, Ling Xiao was sick before, and he didn't read many poetry books, but he had heard such a sentence." Xiao Lingxiao hesitated for a moment before continuing, "The heavens will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically. Xiao Lingxiao guessed that there was no such god as Mencius in this other world, but when she saw Li Jingxuan's expression of shock and epiphany, she knew that this prince could also understand this sentence.
So Xiao Lingxiao continued, "The holy will is unpredictable, I don't dare to guess why the emperor would entrust the difficult things to the Sixth Highness one after another, but presumably the emperor did not expect that the Sixth Highness would not be able to do these things." On the contrary, the more they face difficulties, the more they can show the outstanding ability of the Six Highnesses. The Sixth Highness should know the truth of 'high flowers on the ridge, and famous generals in the chaotic army'. ”
Li Jingxuan listened to Xiao Lingxiao's words, and his heart was surging. Unexpectedly, when he was in trouble, he just thought of seeking comfort and complaining to others, but Xiao Lingxiao and a female streamer were able to say such a truth here.
If this truth came out of someone else's mouth, Li Jingxuan was afraid that he would immediately feel that the other party was not knowing and pretending to be, but when Xiao Lingxiao said this, his deep and bright eyes seemed to be full of encouragement and trust for him Li Jingxuan.
A warm current surged in Li Jingxuan's body, he looked at Xiao Lingxiao, thinking that the woman in front of him sincerely thought that he could break through the difficulties! The heavens will descend on people? Did she mean that she thought that one day he would be able to climb to that high seat? After learning that all this happened, after everyone lost confidence in him as a prince, why was she the only one who did not give up and guarded the last bit of courage for him!
Thinking of this, Li Jingxuan's eyes suddenly turned red, he couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward and hugged Xiao Lingxiao tightly, and whispered in her ear with a little choked up, "Lingxiao, Lingxiao!" Only you can say that to me, only you! I...... I know, I know, I'll be able to do it! Certainly, one day I will ...... "I will ascend to the throne!" "One day I'll ...... "I'll marry you in!"
"Sixth Highness, be cautious in your words and deeds, and let me go."
Xiao Lingxiao said this in a cold voice and slowly pushed Li Jingxuan away.
Li Jingxuan was stunned by Xiao Lingxiao's attitude, and it took him a long time to think of something, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I said that after the matter of the flower thief is completed, wait for my father to ......" Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, then raised his head and said bitterly, "Lingxiao, are you willing to wait for me?" I'll do it, that's everything, you say, I'll do it. Will you wait for me? ”
Xiao Lingxiao immediately frowned when she heard this, she thought that even if Li Jingxuan was a little interesting to her, she would never make any promises or anything like that. What's more, he didn't give himself any promise, but in turn asked her to give him such a promise?
Before Xiao Lingxiao could get angry, he heard someone laughing loudly in the distance, "Sixth brother, don't be strong, if the fourth brother hears it, won't he be angry?" Hahaha......"
Li Jingxuan subconsciously took a step back when he heard this, and the two turned their heads to look, and saw the fifth prince Li Jingyan pulling the musician Lu Zhongyang and striding over.
