157. Be a confidant
I was really angry and funny looking at the two drunks, and the wine jar was empty, and they were all crooked. I wanted to call Yan Qi to carry someone, but just as I was about to get up, I found that Ah Ping had tightened the hem of my clothes, and was still muttering: "Daughter-in-law, don't go, pour a full cup for me and Uncle Wang." I tapped him on the head and whispered, "Think beautiful." β
They didn't ask me to pour the wine just now, so I just sat next to me and ate together. I don't pour them wine, and I'm not a palace maid. I had no choice but to drag him up, and he was finally not completely unconscious, squinted his eyes and confirmed me, and then got up on his own and let me help him go, helped the person into the bed and put him down, and returned to the hall, looking at Zhu Di, who was still drunk and lying there, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
I originally had a spare room in this Orchid Garden, but Ah Ping slept in the east room, I slept in the west room, and the remaining two rooms were given to Lu He and Yan Qi, as well as the stove room and the bath room, all the rooms have been distributed, where do you want to move Zhu Di?
In addition, he is the prince who came back from going out, does he usually live in the palace or has another courtyard outside? Need someone to pick it up?
After hesitating for a while, he decided to go outside to call Lu He to inquire where King Yan's people were, even if it was his two sons to take people away, but before he stepped out of the door, he heard a sarcastic voice behind him: "Where do you want to go?" Are you going to call someone to see me off? I froze, and I knew he wasn't really drunk, and it didn't seem to make much sense to turn around or not, because the footsteps were already behind me.
A strong and unignorable aura spread across and surrounded me, and I felt a slight coolness on the back of my neck, only to hear a soft voice behind my ears: "Xu Lan, are you afraid of me?" My heart skipped a beat, and I turned around and asked, "How come?" Why should I be afraid of you? Zhu Di hooked his lips and smiled, his hard face was not soft, and he said, "I'm afraid that I will say that we already know each other." β
"Would you say? Would you say that you became the head of the thief at the beginning, and then robbed me back to Beiping? β
Zhu Di stared at me, "Why can't it be me?" β
Still struggling with this question? Is it necessary? I was about to speak, when he grabbed my shoulders against the door, but my belly, which was almost six months old, was so big and stiff that he was about to touch it when he got closer. His gaze slowly moved down, and then he seemed to realize that I was pregnant, and his gaze froze on it for a long time, and the hand on his shoulder slowly loosened, took a step back, and asked in a low voice, "How many months?" β
I replied, "It's been almost six months." β
"Is your belly so big?" He gestured in the air with some restraint.
"Yes, by this time, your belly will be big, and you should have experience." Xu Miaoyun has given birth to two sons for him, and it is estimated that he has a daughter, so it can be seen that Zhu Di actually said with a look on his face: "I don't have much experience, I was in the military camp when Miaoyun was pregnant." β
"Oh, then you're missing out on a lot of fun."
He raised his eyebrows and asked, "When a woman is pregnant, what fun is there for a man?" β
I smiled and said, "Of course, you will miss the baby's first stretch, the first kicking experience, and his growth in the mother's womb." These experiences are meaningful to recall at any time in the future. β
He looked at me deeply, "You have changed, you have become more beautiful than before. β
Awkwardly turned his gaze, and in the same way, Ah Ping also said, probably because of the strong maternal color after pregnancy. Sometimes even I can feel it, I don't think extreme in some things, and I can think about everything calmly.
"You haven't answered my question yet, why can't it be me?" Unexpectedly, Zhu Di regained his old question, and his eyes locked on me and could not be avoided. I only know that in the face of this question, he finally faced it squarely and whispered: "There are many things in this world that have no reason, just like why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, why the moon shines in the sky at night is a truth, if you must give a reason for this, I can only say that the timing is not right." β
"Timing? Do you mean that if I had met you first, I would have chosen me? β
I don't understand why Zhu Di is so persistent, time has passed, why bother with another "what if"? After hesitating, he took another urgent step forward, or pushed me into a corner and asked, "Yes or no?" β
"It's not." I directly vetoed, "The timing I said is not what you think, not in the morning or evening of the meeting, but in the right time to meet the right person." Ah Ping is the right person for me, you are not, even if you meet me earlier, it can't change the fact that you have a family and a wife and children, can you still know me as early as seventeen or eighteen years old? I'm sorry, but I was still a baby. β
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes when he heard this, "Do you want to be the main room?" β
I smiled and met his gaze, and the words were clear: "This may be the distance between usβthe difference in philosophy, as if you think that this woman wants to be the main room and make a big house, and I think of it as the only one." What I ask for is very simple, just plain and plain to guard one person, and the other party only guards me. β
Zhu Di was stunned at first, and then sneered unceremoniously: "Do you think he can be the only one in this life?" Xu Lan, are you too naΓ―ve? Not to mention the countless concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards in the future, even if he is now the emperor's grandson, it is impossible for you to be alone! Do you know how many envoys and county lords from neighboring countries have come to this father's birthday banquet? Who did not come for him?

My heart sank, I had expected that a peaceful life could not be maintained forever, and I clearly understood that Ah Ping's identity had a lot of involuntary self-determination, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
Zhu Di said: "Xu Lan, what you ask for is difficult for even ordinary people to do, let alone being born in the emperor's family." If you follow me in Beiping, I may still be able to leave you in peace; And with him, it is better for you to accept the delusion and accept all this safely, than for you to be miserable and exiled in the future. β
An already thin piece of paper, no one has come to poke it before, I just don't know, and now it is ruthlessly pierced by Zhu Di, and there is an astringent pain in my heart, but I don't want to be seen by him.
"Zhu Di," I paused and then said softly, "As you said, you and he were both born in the emperor's family, and the world you left behind may not be peaceful, can't you and I let go of the past and become friends and confidants?" β
"Confidant?" Zhu Di looked surprised, and then said: "You are still the first woman who said that she wants to be my confidant." β
I'm afraid other women want to be his people, in fact, Zhu Di is not suitable for me in terms of personality alone, he is tough and domineering, and it is extremely machismo, once he makes a decision, it is impossible for the people around him to question it. He has the domineering spirit of an emperor, but he will not be a person who can talk gently to his wife.
And my character must not be able to stand being so restrained, unlike Ah Ping, although he occasionally has a small temper, but his nature is pure and soft, and he can just complement me. He won't control me, and I won't want to sway him, and I don't want to be a strong woman.
Zhu Di did not accept my suggestion, he said that he had never been a confidant with a woman in his life, and he was still a woman he liked. However, he didn't be aggressive anymore, and only stood side by side with me at the door and said softly: "You have subdued Xu'er." β
Hearing him take the initiative to mention Zhu Gaoxu, he thought about Ah Ping coming back two days ago and saying that at the banquet, Zhu Di suddenly beat Zhu Gaochu angrily, I don't know if he will be punished again later? After pondering for a while, I spoke: "Ah Xu's personality is more upright, probably because he has been through hardships before, so he can get along better. Some things are in the past, so don't be too harsh on him. β
"What? Worried about him? β
I shook my head and said deliberately, "How can I." He's your son, and it's not my turn to worry. β
I may not understand Zhu Di's thoughts, but it is obvious that there is a temptation, and at this time, I don't care about it, and it is only beneficial to Zhu Gaoxu. What's more, what I said is also true, Zhu Gaoxu is his son, and Xu Miaoyun can't ignore his son if he thinks about it.
Zhu Di smiled and said, "If Xu'er hears you say this, I'm afraid it will be very sad." β
Then he only gave me a calm look and I left, not saying if he would come back or anything else. I don't know if this conversation with him is a big deal, in short, I didn't see through Zhu Di before, and now I can't see through it. But now that he has figured out my identity, it is impossible for him to move again, after all, in the emperor's family, he still understands etiquette, righteousness and shame.
Who would have thought that the person who was saved by chance would become my elder one day, and I would become his nephew. In this generation, it feels depressing to mention it.
Looking back, the cup and plate were messy and had no intention of cleaning up, so let the green lotus get up tomorrow morning, and it was estimated that Yan Qi and she had already fallen asleep. In my case, there is no rule that if the master does not sleep, no one can sleep, they can do it themselves.
After freshening up and returning to the room, I went to Ah Ping's east room, and saw that he was lying with his back to the inside and the clothes, so I walked up to undress and cover the quilt for him, and when the outer robe was removed and the quilt was opened, I suddenly found that Ah Ping, who was lying on his side, was actually open. I blurted out, "Are you awake?" β
But when he turned his eyes to look at me, he realized that it didn't seem right, he was drunk just now and not asleep, so it was unlikely that he would wake up. I put the back of my hand on his forehead, and I was really sweating, and I got up to get a towel to wipe him, but he pulled his sleeve again.
Glancing at his slender fingers, he asked softly, "Do you want tea?" I'll pour it for you. β
The black eyes were clear, as if he was ignorant, and patted his head angrily, "Let you drink so much wine, and the amount of wine is still so shallow." He pouted as if he understood, and he was not very happy.
