Chapter 53: You have to come on
Chapter 52: Why do you bother?
Murong Zhi sat down, picked up the chopsticks as if no one was around, and after tasting it, her eyebrows and eyes stretched. Although it is not at the level that Chu Zhaonan has practiced for so many years, it can be regarded as a taste. None of the people she brought with her could understand her preferences, but they were all willing to plan for her, and she was very happy about that.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Murong Zhi would never admit it. She is still the queen who has always been leisurely, enjoying flowers and watching fish, so she will not be the same as these scheming so-called mothers.
In fact, from the perspective of motives, Murong Zhi was just curious at first, what the Queen Mother would do after this matter slowly fermented. Ci'an Hall is no different from other palaces, it is very difficult to install eyeliner, Duanxia is patrolling every day, and various problems emerge one after another. Murong Zhi is also too lazy, she just asks for peace every day, and other than that, she can't get in.
The reactions of the concubines are all within the scope of her expectations, this group of people has always been as superficial as she imagined, and they have always only looked at their own interests, favors, and power, and they want to hold everything tightly in their hands, but if so many things in this world can be as they wish, where will anyone complain about the unfairness of fate? Fate is fair to everyone, but everyone's requirements are different, so there are many grievances and uneasiness, so why bother?
"Zhi, today, today is your birthday?" Qing Ruifan felt stupid. When you really like someone, everything will be paid attention to, from whether there are extra wrinkles in his clothes today, to whether his future life plan is calm and peaceful. And he has always prided himself on liking Murong Zhi, but he has never paid attention to her birthday. The way I look, I'm really unqualified. A deep sense of frustration tormented him one after another.
All the guilt in his eyes was fully seen by Murong Zhi, and the simple smile on the corner of his mouth was hooked, which actually had some mockery. Do you have to control everything you have to love someone? In this case, what do you want love for? Hold back all your freedom for a madman who only knows how to satisfy his desire for control? Is it worth it?
"Well, Yunshuang and the others have already arranged for it. If you're okay, go to Chu Sleeve Hall to have a look, I heard that Concubine Wan has been in pain for two days, and she has been clamoring to see you. Concubine Chen and Concubine Xiang should also go and have a look, this should be the time when they want to see you the most. Murong Zhi's tone was not without sourness. There aren't many people in this harem, but it's time-consuming to go through them all. Murong Zhi didn't really want to see Qing Ruifan now. The face of Xingshi's questioning and cautious face, which obviously held the power of life and death, was replaced with a faint layer of apprehension and uneasiness between his eyebrows.
She found out early on that Qing Ruifan didn't care about her as much as he said he did. It's not so much like liking as a relationship of tethering and imprisonment. He came to her in order to regain the throne, and the relationship between the two was originally based on interests and mutual satisfaction, and when it came to love, it could only be used on a deeper level. She didn't know why he suddenly returned the so-called "favor" in the way that he promised in the future, she only knew that she was tied up, although it was indeed what she wanted, but it was too much.
"Ah Zhi, then, can I make you something to eat?" He couldn't think of anything to give her on this big night. He will naturally pick the best ones in the warehouse and send them over tomorrow, but in terms of the current development, Murong Zhi doesn't seem to want him to stay here.
"You don't owe me anything, I've said it a long time ago." Murong Zhi held her chin, and a pair of purified ivory bone carved chopsticks were placed on the edge of the bowl with red noodles on a black background in front of her. She didn't have the slightest idea of letting Qing Ruifan speak well, there seemed to be something competing in her heart, she didn't want to play dumb riddles like this.
"Qing Ruifan, you have set a division of labor with me, I am just the queen on your face, and I don't bear any responsibility. Why are you doing this? After Murong Zhi finished eating, she looked at the servants and Yunshuang who were still standing on the side, and showed a kind smile, which made Qing Ruifan's teeth itch for a while. He hadn't seen her laugh at all.
"I, Ah Zhi, I said it, I like you." Qing Ruifan felt that every word he said was coming out of his teeth, and he was annoyed. He had emphasized to her countless times that he liked it, but she never responded, and she always regarded it as nothing, and she didn't even think about it carefully, all of which didn't seem to care. Whoever is neglected will not speak well, he is biased, Murong Zhi is not in this kind of person at all.
"Oh." Murong Zhi replied briefly.
There are very few feelings she can digest. In terms of family affection, Gu Huai never gave her a trace at the beginning, and after more than ten years of infiltration, she can still remember that there are really ghosts, even the memories of her mother, and there are only so many and a half stars, which can only be regarded as residues, and cannot be formed into a feeling. Regarding friendship, there are people standing next to her, all of them have never asked her too much, I just hope that she can live well, that selflessness, the kind of relationship that trusts each other with life, not to mention only friendship?
Love is a combination of family affection and friendship, and over the years it has worn out differences and finally become tacit relatives and friends with the same hands. Gu Lingge has no family affection, and friendship is too full, so how can she understand Qing Ruifan's mood?
Or rather, she didn't need that kind of emotion at all. With her identity and status, there is only what she doesn't want, and there is nothing she can't get. The extreme satisfaction of the material determines that she will not have the temperament to bow her head, and the protection of the people around her shows that she will not be delivered simply, what kind of person is suitable for Gu Lingge, the whole Liulizhuang is so big Everyone has everyone's understanding, but he is very Ruifan, no one has ever considered it.
"Ah Zhi, after so many months, shouldn't you give me an answer?" Qing Ruifan still couldn't hold his breath. Originally, he wanted this man to admit it himself, but his relaxation did nothing but develop this woman's more lazy temper. She can smile at her, and she can definitely smile at herself. Definitely, too. He curled his lips and thought bitterly.
His sudden jealousy. Everyone around her can see her easy-going side, everyone can get or understand from her, just he can only look at her cold face, look at her cold expression, and have no other expression.
"You're not talking about a question, so why do you ask me to answer you?" In Murong Zhi's opinion, Qing Ruifan never gave her any questions, what he said was only his thoughts, and he didn't ask her opinion or explain why, so she didn't have any reason to answer. She's the kind of person who chooses to ignore it all so that she doesn't get herself misunderstood. She is Gu Lingge.
"Qing Ruifan, do you think that you are the emperor and should hold everything in your hands?" Murong Zhi herself doesn't like her own things to become someone else's. In the whole world, she understands the meaning of Wang Fei, but she doesn't like people to play music with her. She's not a bully, and she's no worse than anyone else.
"Qing Ruifan, you can't control me, I don't eat your set, and you have nothing to do with me." Murong Zhi put down the chopsticks, and the original joy in her heart was suppressed by Qing Ruifan's silence. Although she didn't think that her birthday was a big day, at least, she didn't want to distract the hearts of those who had been preparing for her for so long. They wouldn't have had such a fate with her, but since they have, it makes sense to cherish it, maybe one day, after she finishes everything, she can ask them if they want to go to Liulizhuang. Liulizhuang is not too much to raise.
"Ah Zhi, you ...... You are my queen. Qing Ruifan felt that her throat was full of scum, and her words were sharp thorns, which could never be taken out if they were pierced into her heart. When he first saw her a long time ago, that kind of natural wildness and anger made him feel a kind of man's heroism, unconsciously close. Because of a moment of curiosity, she chose this way to "repay" her, even if she knew that the reason was lame, but she still faced herself.
Qing Ruifan received an elite education all his life. Qing Haoxuan is a very good emperor, he has contributed to Qing Ruifan's cultivation, but at the same time, he has also restrained his requirements for sincerity as a normal man. Qing Ruifan's status determines his ambition, and his ambition deprives him of love at the same time.
"Well, I'm just your queen." Murong Zhi nodded, her eyes clear and bright. Even if she is a queen, she is also the kind of queen who is in power. She is not good at competing for favor, and she doesn't want to compete for favor. The queen's duties and powers are handed over to her, and she can't control the rest and doesn't want to take care of it. Besides, how many of all the queens since ancient times have really been favored? In addition to the prescribed days and harem events, how have you ever seen the emperor enter the queen's palace? Qing Ruifan is still too naïve, as the Son of Heaven, he still thinks about the white hair and the pillow.
"Zhi, I didn't mean that." Qing Ruifan's anger began to surge, and he really had no choice but to listen to what this person said. Although his father has always taught him, the Son of Heaven Qi Jiangshan, and then Qi family, first establish the country, and then settle down. But Murong Zhi was someone he finally met. It's hard to have curious people.
"Alright, you can go back. The concubines are waiting for you. "No one would have imagined that the emperor, who has always been light-faced, would be blocked so that he couldn't say a word in the queen's palace, let alone be so categorically ordered to expel guests. His heart was unbalanced, but he could only hold on.
Qing Ruifan hesitated for a while, and finally left. Blue Yi followed behind him, his face as dark as Yunshuang's. Murong Zhi didn't reply, and the soup bowl on the table made her feel calm and happy at the same time. It's been a long time since anyone thought about her so much, and those partners in Liulizhuang were inconvenient, but she still wasn't wronged.
"Brother Chu, if you don't hurry up, it is estimated that you will not be able to hold the master." Yunshuang returned to Lin'an under the cover of night, and Chu Zhaonan's mansion was brightly lit. Yunshuang took a cup of tea and sat down, and when she saw Chu Zhaonan, who was unhurried and unhurried, she was careful in her heart, and even her voice was teasing.
"What's this? It's strange that he, a person who has only been here for a few months, can get Ling'er. This kind of thing depends on the first come, the first to the first to come. Chu Zhaonan stretched out his slender and pure hand to cover the lid of the tea bowl, and the smile on his face was like nothing.
After a long time, he came to his senses and wanted to kill his current self.
In love, there is never anything, bullshit comes first and comes.
