Chapter 144: Far and Near (3)
"You two, you make me so uncomfortable......" Wei Min tugged at Chu Li's sleeve, tears soaked the placket on his chest, but she was still so sad: "No one loves me anymore...... He watched the dart team disband, and he didn't even care! We saved him! He's wolf-hearted! Cold-blooded and ruthless! ”
At this moment, the slight thickness, the speech is not organized at all, crying so sadly, so sad.
Chu Li listened patiently, comforted her all the time, was silent for a long time, and finally asked: "The 'he' in your mouth...... Who is it? ”
"He's ......" sobbed slightly, and was about to say it, but for a moment, the panic came up again: "No! No! I can't say! If I say it, you will hate me, you will hate me...... It's so filthy, it's too unbearable......"
It's a pity that Chu Li is too transparent, and when he heard this, he hugged her tighter again: "'He' is Jinghou?" Nie Xingji? ”
This name successfully shocked Wei Nong, she raised her head, and her voice trembled: "How do you know? ”
A bitter smile overflowed on Chu Li's lips: "When he sent you to Chu Country and kiss, we met once. The way he looked at me...... Coupled with your words, can I still not understand? ”
"Then you won't despise me? Won't you think I'm ...... Dirty? She asked cautiously, her eyes full of hope and panic.
Chu Li didn't immediately give her a satisfactory answer, but said, "I need to know the whole story, about you and him." As he spoke, he put his arm around her shoulders and pressed her back down in front of the dresser: "Freshen up, eat something, and then tell me slowly." ”
Wei Nong couldn't bear to look at the person in the mirror anymore, and couldn't help but hide his face with his hands: "What do you want to hear?" ”
"Everything. How did you get started with him, how did it feel, and ...... To what extent. When he said the last sentence, Chu Li's tone was obviously slightly dark.
Wei Nong shook his head, and turned to look at him again: "I don't want to eat, and I don't want to see people......"
Chu Li was not reluctant, he moved the chair to her side, and personally poured her a cup of hot tea: "Okay, you start talking!" ”
Wei Nong reached out to hold the hot tea, as if she had finally grasped a trace of comfort, so that her heart was no longer so barren and sad. She smelled the fragrance of tea, and the person gradually calmed down, and was silent for a long time, as if thinking about the origin of the story.
Chu Li didn't urge, she waited, and after waiting for a long time, she heard her say: "When I was fifteen years old, I followed the dart team to dart, and when I passed by Fangzhou Tanzhu City, I was stopped and searched by officers and soldiers. Tanzhu Castle is an important city on the water, and we often pass by there when we dart, and we have dealt with the officers and soldiers who defend the city...... That time, the officers and soldiers stuffed someone into our goods and asked us to help take it to the capital Qingcheng, which was Nie Xingji......"
Wei Nong began to talk about his acquaintance with Nie Xingji. said that when he first arrived in Fangzhou, his foundation was unstable and he was intercepted and killed; He said that when he met her, he was seriously injured...... It was said that after she fell in love with Nie Xingji, she gave him the jade pendant left by her mother, but his face changed greatly because of this......
Weimin was immersed in long memories, and when she talked about discovering the truth of her life, she was excited; When it comes to suffering cold eyes in the palace of King Yan, she is gloomy; Speaking of Nie Xingjian's recommendation of her and relatives, she was resentful, sad and angry.
From beginning to end, Chu Li listened calmly without interjecting a word. It wasn't until the slightly strong cup of tea was drunk and the story was told that he asked a question: "Have you ever had a skin-to-skin relationship?" ”
There was a heat behind his ears for a moment, and he lowered his head in shame. The lips that had been kissed by Nie Xingji ached as if they were burning, as well as the forehead and cheeks...... She didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Chu Li, so she could only ask in a low voice, "What is a 'skin dearest'?" ”
Chu Li laughed helplessly, reached out and brushed the ends of her knotted hair, and asked again, "Then do you still like him?" ”
"I ...... I do not know. Wei Nong began to choke again: "I really have done my best...... I thought, I thought I had forgotten about it a long time ago...... But when the news of my aunt's death came, I hated him so much, I really hated him! ”
"That's why you don't have sex with me?" Chu Li asked directly.
Wei Nong covered his cheeks, nodded first, then shook his head, and replied in a panic and blankly: "I don't know, I really don't know...... I'm just having a hard time...... I'm not qualified to be jealous, but I'm really afraid you don't want me......"
Chu Li stopped talking, Ruyu's face was hidden in the dim light, and her expression was indistinguishable.
Seeing him like this, Wei Nong became even more uneasy: "It's me who is too selfish......"
"You're pampered and arrogant." Chu Li judged.
Slightly thickened her lips, she didn't know how to reply, she admitted that since she knew that Chu Li was her senior brother, her mind began to change slightly, but what it had become, whether it had become good or bad, she still couldn't determine.
Chu Li didn't say anything more, slowly got up from the seat, and gently stroked her green silk: "When you take care of your body, get fatter, let's round the house." ”
Roundhouse! Slightly stunned looked at him.
"Aren't you afraid that I will dislike you?" Chu Li said straight word by word: "Yuanfang, this is my attitude." ”
Wei Nong suddenly became cramped, and his pale face was dyed a hint of crimson because of this: "I ......"
"You also know that your father has a prejudice against you...... Now that Yan Guo is about to move, if you can't give birth to a son and a half daughter, I'm afraid ......" Chu Li's words stopped at this point, and his eyebrows furrowed deeply again, as if he was thinking about something difficult.
Wei Nong was still stunned, and when he heard the sentence "ready to move", he suddenly understood something, and hurriedly asked: "Yan Guo...... What's wrong? ”
"It's hard to put into words." Chu Li sighed, and then said, "Weinong, we don't have time, if we drag it out, your situation will become more and more difficult...... Maybe there is also a fear for his life. ”
"It's so serious!" Wei Nong stood up suddenly. She looked at Chu Li's cautious and serious look, and looked at the pity in his eyes, she felt puzzled and a little confused: "Chu Li, why are you so good to me?" Since I came to the Chu Palace, you have been treating me well...... Why? ”
Chu Li was stunned for a moment, and then replied ambiguously: "Because we have a relationship." ”
Wei Nong took it for granted that he had become a fellow friend, and said: "But before, you didn't know that I was Ji Fengzhi's apprentice!" Why are you so good to me? Is it really as you say, because I'm a blank slate? Do you want to create a desirable wife according to your wishes? ”
Chu Li seemed to be asked, lowered his eyes slightly, and said after a long time: "Weinong, there is no love for no reason in this world, and there is no hate for no reason." Some things are too complicated for you to understand......"
He took her hand again and said solemnly, "You just need to understand that I never wanted to harm you, and now I like you, that's enough." ”
"Do you like me......" Wei Nong was shocked by these four words, and an indescribable emotion faintly stirred in his heart: "But what do you like about me?" I'm so mediocre that I don't deserve you at all......"
Chu Li sighed with a smile: "As the prince of a country, many times he can't help himself, and there is no real joy, anger and sorrow. And you can infect me, make me happy and make me sad, isn't that enough? ”
He gently ruffled her hair, revealing her humble, helpless face, and whispered in her ear: "Who said that the prince must like everyone's girlfriends?" I just like girls who cry, laugh, and lose their temper, can't you? ”
This was the first time that Chu Li had whispered to her about her lover. His long body stood in front of her, tall, straight, like a towering mountain and a river, which could shelter her from the wind and rain, and at this moment, she was extremely relieved.
Chu Li is right, she is indeed "pampered and arrogant". For example, at this moment, she suddenly wanted to hear him explain in person, so she asked a little angrily: "Since you like me, why is Zhao Liangdi still pregnant?" ”
Chu Li was silent for a moment before he said helplessly: "It is my responsibility to extend the heir...... I have no house with you, no heirs, I can't explain to my father, and I can't shut the courtiers. ”
Wei Thick actually understood these words in his heart, and after listening to his explanation, his heart was much more stable, so he stopped talking.
"Can we go to dinner now?" Chu Li was still thinking about this matter, and stretched out his hand to compare her waist that was more than hers: "You have lost too much weight, you have to make up for it as soon as possible." ”
Slightly pursed her lips, ashamed to answer, and let him call Chu Yi to come in and groom her. She looked at the haggard self in the mirror, but she vaguely saw a glow in a pair of eyes.
She's alive again! At least, not so grief-stricken anymore!
Perhaps, she can't completely forget Nie Xingji now, and she can't completely accept Chu Li. But she admires him, reveres him, and rejoices at the memory that he likes her.
Perhaps, this is not far from "like", right?
*****
After this incident, Wei Nong untied the knot in her heart for a long time, what she was most worried about in the past was the indecent relationship with Nie Xingji, but now that she can get Chu Li's understanding, she also suddenly let go of the big stone in her heart, and the person gradually regained her vitality.
After raising her body for two months, she finally gained weight, and when she remembered what Chu Li had said about the round house, she began to feel nervous again.
Originally, some things should have been done, but at this moment, Chu Li suddenly began to go out early and return late, and the gloom between his eyebrows became more and more serious. Even Zhao Liangdi, who is about to give birth, rarely accompanies him and has no time to ask. This made Wei Nong sensitively aware that something big must have happened in the court, she wanted to ask Chu Li several times, and she also picked up the lamp several times and waited for him to come back, but she never waited for him, she fell asleep first.
In October, Zhao Liangdi gave birth to a baby boy, and the matter finally cleared the haze that had been shrouded in Yuntai Palace, and Chu Li finally showed a smile. Wei Nong naturally breathed a sigh of relief and began to help Zhao Liangdi take care of the child, but Zhao Liangdi was very wary of her, and even the nurse didn't use the people in the palace, and she said that she wanted to choose from her mother's family.
This was originally out of line with the palace rules, but Zhao Liangdi gave birth to Chu Li's eldest son after all, and the king of Chu loved this prince and grandson very much. Wei Nong didn't want to get into trouble with her for this little thing, so she allowed her to look for a nurse from outside the palace.
Some things may be providential, and the more you guard against them, the more you can't prevent them.
