Noah smiled self-deprecatingly, and wanted to put down the painting in his hand, but saw a long wooden box on the case, with a tie on it, and an open delicate lock next to it. She opened the wooden box, which was full of scrolls.

At the top, there is a peach blossom stick, with a line of small characters written on it: Huanjun Mingzhu is in tears, and he hates to meet when he is not married.

She suddenly remembered what Chu Xin'er had said, where could she still remain indifferent, her heart suddenly panicked, "pounding" and jumping, timidly slowly retracted her outstretched fingertips,

See? Or don't look? If something is a hundred miles and nine, Noah will not hesitate to open it and then taunt him wantonly. partial, the object is Chu Qingchen, such a man like Gao Yang in the clouds, people look up and dare not blaspheme. She didn't dare to peep anymore, as if the box contained more than just a few paintings, but something as terrifying as a flood beast.

She hurriedly closed the box, looked at her portrait, hesitated for a moment, and withdrew.

I couldn't find Chu Qingchen, and when I saw that the kitchen was already lit up, it should be the dumb girl Mo'er cooking, so I followed the fragrance and went in.

"I'm hungry!" She announced loudly, and when she looked up, there was steam, but it was Chu Qingchen who was rolling up her sleeves and cooking.

"Second prince?" Noah smiled embarrassedly: "Why are you?" ”

Chu Qingchen raised his head, and in the warm heat, he smiled at Nuoya: "The meal will be ready soon, wash your hands and eat." ”

Noya remembered that Chu Qingchen had shown him his cooking skills before, and his knife skills were still good.

"I didn't expect you to be the prince of Great Chu, and you can cook."

Chu Qing neatly took out the dishes in the pot and smiled slightly: "In the past, when my mother was unhappy, I would personally make snacks for her and make her smile." I made it for you today, and I hope you can be happy too. ”

Noah touched her face: "Where do I look unhappy?" ”

"If you think it's far-fetched, you don't have to laugh, force yourself like that, I don't feel comfortable watching it."

The smile on her face suddenly froze, she looked a little lonely, and reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth: "I may really not be as free and easy as I imagined, I probably need a little time to ......"

"Hmm." Chu Qingchen nodded: "I also need a while, try to make you happy and forget all the unpleasant things." ”

Noah smiled stupidly: "Sometimes, delicious things also bring a good mood, I'm really hungry." ”

Chu Qingchen smiled dotingly: "It's already good, let's go out to eat." ”

The two picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and brought out all the meals together, one after the other, like an ordinary husband and wife, and placed them lightly on the stone table in the courtyard.

Chu Qingchen turned to Nuoya and said, "Noah, it seems that you have taken one less pair of chopsticks, please go back and get one more pair of chopsticks." ”

"I took two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, isn't that enough?"

Chu Qingchen said "um": "It seems that a guest has arrived, and he wants to trouble you." ”

Noah should come down, turned around and went back to the kitchen, wondering in his heart, who could come over at this time? And can you come and go freely in the maze of the bamboo forest? Her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and she took the dishes and chopsticks and turned to leave.

At the stone table in the courtyard, Chu Qingchen was standing opposite Baili Jiu. Noah slowed down, a little nervous, not knowing exactly what to do.

"Noah won't go with you." Chu Qingchen said coldly: "She needs time to think." ”

"Then I'll tell her all the truth, explain it to her, and she will naturally go back with me."

"No way!"

"Can't do it? Chu Qingchen, I married a woman I didn't love for you, and I watched them calculate their beloved women and be powerless. For the sake of Dachu Jiangshan, I now have a gap with my own woman, but I have a hard time. And what are you Chu Qingchen doing? You know all the truth, but you took advantage of the danger of others to abduct her, and she is here to chirp me and me! Up to no good! What qualifications do you have to say about me, demand me?! ”

With no outsiders present, Bailijiu had no scruples and angrily condemned Chu Qingchen: "Am I going to watch you take her away from me?" ”

Chu Qingchen was silent for a while: "Xiao Jiu, I admit that there may be some places where I owe you, but in front of Nuoya, we are fair. The fundamental reason for all this today is just that you don't know how to cherish her, you are not good enough for her, and you make her disheartened again and again. I have never forced her, out of affection, out of courtesy, just simply treat her with sincerity. It is her freedom to go or stay. ”

"You're sure that I'm afraid of the emperor, so I don't dare to turn my face with you, right? Chu Qingchen, if you are so unscrupulous again, don't blame me for a hundred miles and nine ......"

Before Baili Jiu's words could be spoken, he had already seen Noah behind him, and he immediately chose to be silent.

Nuoya looked nonchalant, walked over coldly, and ignored Baili Jiu: "Qingchen, can we eat?" I am hungry. ”

A "Qingchen" is a little awkward, but in the ears of others, it is very intimate.

Chu Qingchen turned around, his eyes flashing: "Of course it's okay, it's just that there are guests here, I don't know if the rice I cooked is enough to eat?" ”

Nuoya laid out the food on the stone table and handed the chopsticks to Chu Qingchen: "If you come uninvited, naturally there is no food to eat." ”

Noah thought that if he spoke like this, the cautious Baili Jiu would jump up in anger, turn his head and leave. But who would have expected that he would pull off the hem of his clothes and sit down with his ass, as stable as Mount Tai.

"Ninth Master, this is not your General's Mansion." Noah reminded coldly.

"I know, I'm just a woman and a husband." Baili Jiuyi snatched the rice from Noya's hand: "I'm hungry too." ”

Then he bowed his head and swept away the clouds and gobbled it up.

"How did you reincarnate like a starving ghost?" Noah said in disgust.

Bailijiu paused, as if he had choked, there was no tea on the table, he straightened his neck and swallowed it raw, and then stuffed his head to pick up the rice, and said vaguely: "I haven't eaten for almost three days." ”

Noah's hand that stretched out to grab his chopsticks suddenly froze, she seemed to be choked, choked with an egg in her throat, couldn't go up, couldn't get down, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't swallow the saliva in her mouth, but instead flowed into her eyes, she could only grit her teeth and force them back.

She wanted to pat him on the back, wanted to rush back into the house to pour tea, but she desperately suppressed this urge, and with all the strength of her body, the corners of her lips curved slightly, squeezing out an ugly sarcastic smile.

"You don't enjoy your life in your general's mansion, you come here to ask for hardship."

"I've thought about it for a long time, you are my man, and your deed of sale is still with me. Only I can do without you, and you have no right to leave me. So, I'll follow, and I'll follow you wherever you go, and you won't be able to drive you away. ”

Noya was stunned: "Baili Jiu, I said it, it is impossible for me to go back to the General's Mansion with you." ”

"Then I'll stay."

"Why are you so faceless and skinless?"

Baili Jiu finally raised his head from the rice bowl: "Naturally, my mother praised me for being talented, but there is also some acquired hard work, which is inseparable from the cultivation of my wife." ”

"Hehe, are you going to bring the ring fat and thin Yan around you with you tomorrow? This bamboo garden is hard, but there is not so much pastime. Noah said angrily.

Baili Jiu pitifully stretched out the bowl to Noya and winked innocently: "Is there still rice?" I was dying of hunger and didn't have enough to eat. ”

"You deserve to starve to death!" Noah snorted and turned her head.

Chu Qingchen pushed the rice in front of him towards him.

Bailijiu brought it over unceremoniously, ignored Chu Qingchen, and said to himself: "Nuo'er, I can explain to you the two questions you asked that day." Your antidote is still in Qin's hands now, and the princess is just a fake one used to cover people's ears. The crown princess didn't understand pharmacology at all, she didn't know. ”

Noya smiled coldly, and said in a weird manner: "Then I really misunderstood the Ninth Master, I really can't help you." No wonder the darling of Qin impressed the ninth master, for me to betray the prince, it makes me grateful. ”

Baili Jiu didn't care, and continued to explain: "I haven't gotten married to Qin Darling yet, so I haven't gotten the antidote. ”

No big wedding? Noya was a little surprised, and there was a snickering joy in her heart: "Why? Was Qin Darling burned by fire or bitten by a dog? ”

Baili Jiu gritted his teeth and bit the bamboo shoots in the dish squeak: "Because of a woman with no conscience." ”

"Didn't get bitten by a dog? It's a shame. ”

"Bubbles doesn't seem to have eaten much these days." Bailijiu said suddenly.

"It's been said a long time ago that it's better to raise a dog than to raise a man."

"But you've always kept me like a dog, and you never considered my feelings." It seems to be a joke, but it is a little sour for no reason.

Noya gave the rice in her bowl to Chu Qingchen, and didn't match his words. Chu Qingchen stretched out his hand to stop her movements: "I'm not hungry, didn't you say you were hungry a long time ago?" Eat more. ”

Noah smiled embarrassedly, "I can't eat so much." ”

Baili Jiu on the side pouted: "When I was with me, it was Dapeng who spread his wings, how did he come to him and become a bird?" ”

Noya snorted coldly: "Naturally, it's because the ninth master, your old man is unreliable." ”

Baili Jiu ate the rice in the bowl cleanly, exhaled with satisfaction, seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Noah: "About the first question of that day, Noah, let me tell you, why didn't I let Chu Qingchen find someone to treat you, why the two of us are always-for-tat, that's because he Chu Qingchen ......"

"Xiao Jiu, that's enough!" Chu Qingchen, who had been sitting quietly on the side without saying a word, suddenly interrupted Baili Jiu's words coldly: "Have you forgotten what you promised me?" ”

Baili Jiu glanced at Chu Qingchen, swallowed the words that had slipped into his mouth: "I want to stay at night!" ”

"Don't think!" Before Chu Qingchen could speak, Nuoya had already taken the lead.

Chu Qingchen still couldn't see his joy or anger, he just put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, slowly stood up, and went straight back to his room.

Is this the default?

Noya doesn't understand, what kind of ulterior secrets are there between Chu Qingchen and Baili Jiu, and you can't say anything to people? It will make Bailijiu unspeakable, and it will make Chu Qingchen make a choice without hesitation, and choose an impossible concession to Bailijiu.
