Chapter Forty-Three: Breakfast Together
Nothing was said all night.
Early in the morning, when the first rays of warm winter sun poured into the room through the window, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly opened her eyes, as if thinking of something, she quickly sat up, and first lowered her head to check herself. Seeing that his clothes were as regular as last night, there was nothing wrong with it, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Awake?" The sudden clear male voice startled her, and she suddenly looked up at the source of the sound.
By the window, Huangfu Chen was facing the east, standing with his hands in his hands, as if he heard her getting up, and was turning his head, looking at her deeply. The winter sun that penetrated through the window was imprinted on his resolute side face, and even the fine fluff on his skin could be seen clearly.
It is undeniable that Huang Fuchen is indeed a rare handsome man, with a heroic and upright posture, a handsome and resolute face, black eyes as bright as a cold star, and a man's unique masculinity all over his body.
Even though this noble aura seems to Shangguan Jiyue to have a faint trace of loneliness and deep sadness, he is still such a dazzling existence. Standing up to the sky, the demeanor of a king, it should be a man like him.
Unconsciously, Shangguan Jiyue was a little distracted.
Seeing that she was looking at herself a little stunned, Huangfu Chen's eyes warmed, and he said gently: "Did you sleep well last night?" ”
"Good...... Very good, thank you for your concern! Aware of her gaffe, Shangguan Jiyue couldn't help but feel annoyed, quickly sorted out her thoughts, bowed her hands, and regained her usual calm.
She has always slept lightly, and will wake up at the slightest disturbance, even in her sleep. It was the first time she slept so deeply last night, was it really because she was exhausted and too tired these days?
She wrinkled her eyebrows and pondered after washing, but she still couldn't answer, maybe she was really tired lately.
"Come and eat." A faint but warm voice overflowed from her thin lips, and Shangguan Jiyue found that a steaming breakfast had been set up on the table at some point, and Huangfu Chen was sitting on a chair looking at himself fixedly, his eyes were bright.
Shangguan Jiyue made contact with his gaze, and instantly slashed away, and the thick enthusiasm buried deep in the seemingly calm and waveless eyes made her dare not meet his eyes for a while, only walked to the table with a flickering gaze, and sat opposite Huangfu Chen according to Yan, her body was a little stiff.
"Let's eat."
Huang Fuchen glanced at her, didn't say much, picked up the chopsticks first, and sandwiched a green vegetable in her bowl.
Shangguan Jiyue raised her head and saw that the man opposite had the same face as usual, his eyes were lowered, and he didn't look at her again, so he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and buried himself in eating.
She was originally a resolute and heroic woman, and she has experienced two lives before and after, with a calm and serious temperament, even in the place of life and death on the battlefield, she is decisive in killing, and her face does not change, but now she shows her cowardice here because of the slightest concern in her heart, just like a little girl who has never been in the world, which makes her feel annoyed in her heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, she simply put down her chopsticks, raised her eyes, her eyes were as cold as water, and shot straight at the handsome man opposite her who was concentrating on eating, and said coldly: "Second prince!" What is your purpose in transferring me to your side as a lieutenant? ”
Huang Fuchen was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Shangguan Jiyue's cold eyes, with strong defense and suspicion. His face was as motionless as a mountain, he gently put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, lowered his eyelashes and raised them, looked at her calmly, and asked rhetorically: "What if the palace said that it was because of appreciating General Qi's strategy?" ”
"Huh! Do you think I'm a three-year-old? ”
"Oh? How so? ”
Shangguan Jiyue sneered: "Today, just you and me, you might as well open the skylight and say something, like Your Highness, a dragon and phoenix among people, a person with an open mind, must not disdain small behaviors, right?" ”
"Not necessarily! The main hall is also very stingy at times! ”
Looking at the man in front of him with an indifferent look, Shangguan Jiyue was angry, and he simply stopped hiding it, and asked directly: "Did His Royal Highness take a piece of jade pendant from Qi Yu?" ”
"Is this one?" Huang Fuchen took out a crescent-shaped jade with a faint expression and gently placed it on the table.
Shangguan Jiyue recognized at a glance that the little green object was the thing that Granny Meng handed over to her that day, saying that it was left by the son who rescued her.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she grabbed the small jade pendant in her hand, and with a piercing gaze in her eyes, she looked at Huangfu Chen and said, "Does the second prince know the owner of this jade?" ”
When Huang Fuchen heard this, the hand on the table suddenly shook, and his heart became nervous, looking at Shangguan Jiyue's eyes with a faint surprise, could it be that she recognized herself?
However, Shangguan Jiyue's next sentence made his excited and nervous mood turn ridiculous at this time, because he clearly heard the red lips that closed coldly and spit out: "Do you have a grudge against the owner of the jade pendant?" ”
"Hatred? How so? ”
"I heard that His Highness was very angry when he saw this thing that day, is there still a fake?"
Huang Fuchen recalled the situation that day, and the kid in Liuxia actually said that this was a token of the girl's family's love, if he wasn't angry, did he still have to praise him?
"The main hall was really angry that day."
Shangguan Jiyue listened to his admit, and couldn't help but change her complexion, and said hurriedly: "So His Highness really knows the owner of this jade pendant?" Who is he? Where is it now? ”
"How could General Qi be in such a hurry? If this hall really has a grudge against the owner of this jade pendant, what should General Qi do? Huangfu Chen stared at Shangguan Jiyue's clear eyes, he was looking forward to how his Yue'er would answer!
Shangguan Jiyue didn't seem to expect Huangfu Chen to ask her like this, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Yes, if Huang Fuchen really has a vendetta with her savior, how should she, as a general of Beicang and his subordinate, deal with herself?
After pondering for a long time, as if he had made up his mind in his heart, he raised his head again, looked at Huang Fuchen and said with a firm gaze: "He is Qi Yu's life-saving benefactor, and the life-saving grace must be repaid!" If His Highness has an enmity with him, Qi Yu will definitely do his best to protect him. His Royal Highness has a noble status, and Qi Yu knows that his own strength cannot change anything, but even so, even if he uses his mantis arm as a car, he will not hesitate to hit a stone with an egg, and he has no regrets! ”
Shangguan Jiyue's words were forceful, her expression was resolute and serious, and every word in Huangfu Chen's heart weighed like a thousand catties.
Although there are no flowery words, these words are sincere and heartfelt. Even the emperor Fuchen, who has been bloodied on the battlefield for a long time, even if he is used to hearing the sound of hooves like rain and the majesty of shouting like thunder, and is used to seeing the neighing of iron horses and the tragedy of blood flowing, he has not shocked his heart like now.
is as delicate as her, as resolute as her, as serious as her, and heroic as her, which is more exciting than the heroic words of a heroic man and a righteous man! than the moon before the flower, the lingering and sympathetic mountain alliance and sea oath are more gentle and soft. Like a monstrous wave, and like a light feather, all of a sudden it was all packed into Huang Fuchen's cold and lonely heart for twenty-two years, and for a while, the whole heart was stuffed full, soft, and warm......
At this moment, he had an impulse to hug the woman in front of him tightly into his arms, tell her that he was the owner of the jade pendant, tell her that he was the little boy on the bank of the Lishui River back then, and tell her that he had been looking for her for nine years.
