Chapter 158: Relatively Speechless
"Let go of me!" Rong Yunxi couldn't bear it anymore and opened his hand.
Angry with him, he said: "I'll underestimate you, what's the matter?" ”
After saying that, he grimaced at him, and then ...... Run!
"Stop! See if I don't spank you......" King Chen chased after him......
But...... Rong Yunxi stopped......
At the end of the walk stood not a pillar, but a ...... Person!
They hadn't noticed it before, and he was standing with his hands in his hands, standing beside the pillar, half of his body behind it. Occasionally, when they swept over here, they only thought it was a pillar and didn't pay much attention.
This pillar is already the last one at the end of the road, and King Chen's lanterns are not particularly well bought, and there are no lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the four pillars at the end. The shadow of the pillar obscured him, making him merge with the darkness even though he was in the light and shadow...... Just like his expression at this time.
"Ling ......"
Seeing him so suddenly, Rong Yunxi almost blurted out "Brother Ling".
But as soon as these first words came out, they immediately realized their identity at this time. just gave him a light salute: "His Royal Highness King Ling." ”
Seeing that she was just a few steps away in front of him, King Ling couldn't help but take a few steps forward. Under the boardwalk, in front of her.
At this time, King Chen's wine had completely woken up!
"Second brother, when did you come over? But there's a business trip? Why don't you say hello beforehand! What a coincidence! It just so happens that I'm celebrating my birthday with Wanxi here......" King Chen said, and punched King Ling in the chest very enthusiastically. It's as if there was no embarrassment of snatching relatives before.
But King Chen's warm and cheerful words could not alleviate the dull atmosphere at this time. His second brother didn't even look at him, just stared at his princess.
"Second brother, we just happened to go to put the sky lantern and the river lantern to make a wish, let's go together?" King Chen said again.
"Your Royal Highness, the concubine sees that His Royal Highness King Ling seems to have something important to do, I'm afraid it is inconvenient to go with us." King Chen's words did not make King Ling wake up, but made Rong Yunxi wake up first.
Rong Yunxi came back to his senses, took a few steps back, and walked behind King Daochen. He said, "Your Highness, it's not too early, let's go back first, shall we?" ”
"It's fine." King Chen was very happy.
Then he smiled at King Ling and said, "Second brother, let's go back to Cai's Mansion first, you should be careful yourself." Let's go first......"
As he spoke, he slapped King Ling's chest again.
Naturally, I didn't push too hard. But in fact, he has the idea of smashing it hard!
At this time, his second brother was like a wooden pillar. was staring at Rong Yunxi in front of him before, but at this time, Rong Yunxi had already come to him, and the direction of his second brother's eyes didn't even change, he was still staring in a daze, as if there was a shadow of Rong Yunxi in front of him.
"Let's go, Yunxi......" King Chen pulled up Rong Yunxi, no longer cared about King Ling, and strode forward.
But Rong Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable, and gently took his wrist out of his hand.
King Ling is still standing like this...... I don't know where to look......
But gradually, his eyes also focused, looking at the old man who was cleaning up the candles and petals.
Just now, he witnessed their affectionate staring, playing, and flirting......
The mother said that they were husband and wife, but he didn't believe it. But at this time, is it still why he doesn't believe it?
Xi'er and the third look when they get along, and the third and Xi'er's temperament when they are together...... It's all telling.
How could Xi'er ever be so child-like? When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, her words and deeds were extremely steady and dignified. Although when I was with him, I would have the innocence of a little girl, but I had never played with him like this. But when he is with the third child, he can.
And what about the third? How could you ever be so patient with a woman? Although the third child is romantic, he is only unmoved by any woman. Who wouldn't say good things? can say a lot of good things, but he will never really waste his time on any woman. Nothing will be lost except silver.
And today? But he did all this for her so carefully.
And when he was with Xi'er, the third child's temperament was very different from usual. Although he couldn't tell what was different for a while, he was sure that it was really different. It seems that the whole person has changed from the inside out, and at a glance, it is absolutely impossible to see that Feng Beichen at this time is not Feng Beichen at that time......
Rong Yunxi kept hanging his head and walked forward, not wanting to turn back, trying his best to control it. When I reached the middle of the road, my pace slowed down. Ultimately...... Slowly, I turned my head.
King Chen kept his eyes on the front and did not look back with her.
It's just that Rong Yunxi's glance lasted too long, so much so that he still looked at the cloth bag he was carrying in his hand...... I can't let it go tonight......
Rong Yunxi didn't realize that she had been watching it for a long time. It's just that when I turned around, I saw the lonely figure at the end, and my heart throbbed violently......
His countenance, his posture, his everything...... It seems that they are very different from the chic young man who galloped freely in the wilderness of the frontier in his memory...... It seems to have gone from a vibrant spring to a dull deep winter in an instant. And what is the cause of all this?
Isn't that her?
Is it the world that makes people, or does people make the world? Sometimes, it's really hard to tell the difference......
If three years ago, she didn't go to the homecoming banquet with her father; If she sees that the prince is interested in her, she will immediately repair the book to him and let him come to propose; If in three years, even if she only replies to him with a letter, telling him that he has long nights and dreams, he will come and propose his marriage as soon as possible...... If on the day of the wedding, she really left with him desperately......
So what's going on?
If you don't be brave, no one knows what the final result will be.
But she didn't dare to gamble with her father's life and the reputation of the Rong family's loyalty. She is cowardly. At this moment, she confessed her cowardice.
The reason why she was not in a hurry for three years was because she believed in his love and her heart. And giving up after three years is really just because of her cowardice.
If there was another time, what choice would she make?
She didn't know.
But there is no "if" in this world, which she has long known.
With a soft sigh, he turned around slowly. When I looked down, I saw the cloth bag I was carrying.
Rong Yunxi returned the cloth bag in his hand to King Chen, and said apologetically: "Let Your Highness waste all this effort." This river lantern and sky lantern can't be put on tonight. ”
"It's okay", King Chen took it, "It's not early, after tossing for so long, this king is also a little tired." ”
After he finished speaking coldly, he turned around and left.
Rong Yunxi quietly followed him.
Huai'an Wharf at night is still lively, but no one has the heart to see this liveliness.
In Huaishui, there was the babbling of the singers, the soft tune, the soft and glutinous sound, accompanied by the sound of the water and the wind, and the hearts of people who listened to it couldn't help but feel sad......
Rong Yunxi followed behind King Chen, without saying a word; King Chen also said nothing. The two walked out of the dock one after the other and walked into the ten-mile long street of Huai'an City, which was already quiet......
The laughter seemed to linger in the ears, but at this time, no one had the heart to laugh.
King Chen didn't know what was wrong with him, how could he be so ungraceful? The more he was at this time, shouldn't he comfort her and make her happy? In this way, this little woman will be moved! I was moved more times, so I naturally cared about him. Wouldn't he win?
Wouldn't it be a pity that he gave up so much of a chance to get closer to victory?
But at this time, my heart was very stuffy. It's not impossible to feign laughter, but that's too fake, right? Yunxi is so smart, he will definitely find the clue.
But what was he afraid she would find......
The two didn't say anything all the way, and quietly returned to the west house directly from the back door. Send Yunshang to tell Lord Cai that they have returned home.
Rong Yunxi remembered stepping on King Chen's feet, so when King Chen was about to go to Duke Zhou, he still woke him up. He was not distant, and his voice didn't sound dull and depressed, but he said calmly: "Your Highness, change the medicine and go to sleep again." ”
"Hmm." King Chen answered, and stood up.
Rong Yunxi had already recovered the medicine, and Yunshang was not there, so he called for early summer to boil water.
After the order, he closed the door, and the room was uncomfortably quiet again.
King Chen leaned on the head of the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, and Rong Yunxi just sat quietly at the round table. Separated by a small moon gate, but it seems to be far, far away.
After a while, Yunshang came back and replied: "Your Highness, Niangniang, the slave has already told Lord Cai. ”
"Yunshang, come in and wait for this king ......to wash up," King Chen shouted outside the door.
"Yes." Yunshang answered and pushed the door in.
There was joy on his face.
All along, if His Highness did not stay overnight in Shokenin Temple, but had a woman by his side, she would not be needed to serve at night. Since the princess entered the palace, the morning service has only become a handkerchief with water, and she doesn't need to comb her hair. Needless to say, she had little chance to serve him in the near future.
But what's going on tonight?
Didn't you say that His Royal Highness went to celebrate his mother's birthday? Why does it look like the atmosphere is not very good?
Could it be that the princess didn't appreciate it and annoyed Her Highness?
Thinking so, he just followed the rules, and went out with the basin and the foot soaking bucket under the basin.
"Miss, the water is boiling...... "Yunshang had just gone out, and just happened to bump into the early summer who was asking for instructions at the door.
