Chapter 254: Living Together
"What's the matter, that woman wants to be shameless, or what kind of princess, I'm really not ashamed,"
In the front hall where the bright candlelight was revealed, Ye Hua stared at her waist, roaring viciously, and there was a circle of people at the table who were holding their cheeks, sighing and sighing, and the only one who bared his teeth and smirked was turned into a depressed expression by Yi Chenjing's faint glance.
"The five envoys of Mo Nan are all prepared, and the Rouhu Kingdom is even more ghostly, just tonight's reception banquet is full of problems, and I don't know how many incidents will occur in the future." Bai Qige frowned, and the cup of fragrant tea in his hand had already been cold and he hadn't taken a sip.
First the occasional shower and then Ruan Yanluo, Yi Chenjing felt more and more melancholy that he had no right to speak, but when he saw Bai Qige's tightly knit brows, he felt distressed, sighed, and spoke cautiously: "My father's reservation of marriage may not necessarily be to choose me, in addition to me, aren't there many princes who have not yet made concubines." Besides, it is not certain whether he will agree to the marriage, after all, Rouhu is not a big country, and the necessity of marriage is not great. ”
"Don't you see that princess is bound to you? From beginning to end, the eyes do not look at others, and they are always on you. Bai Qige held her cheeks and her eyes were full of boredom.
Yi Chenjing is somewhat aggrieved, he can be as steady as a mountain and sit still, but he can't let others stay away from him as if he is abstinent, his eyes are on Ruan Yanluo, she can see if she wants, what else can he do besides avoiding it as much as possible.
Since the sudden appearance of the occasional shower, Fu Chu and the others have become accustomed to Yi Chenjing's expression, although in fact Bai Qige is not jealous or anything, Yi Chenjing is too cautious to do so.
"I don't think it should be too bad, didn't His Royal Highness say it, the emperor is a person with a very good face, today His Royal Highness said in front of the envoys of the five countries of Monan that he wanted to make Sister Bai the crown princess, and the emperor did not refute it, so there is no reason to oppose it in the future, Chrysostom Yuyan, as the king of a country, it is not easy to break his word."
Looking at Yi Chenjing's listless expression, Bai Qige couldn't help but want to laugh, but fortunately, Fu Chu's serious analysis brought back the atmosphere, which did not make the tangled Yi Chenjing even more resentful. Ruan Yanluo's appearance made the already complicated situation even more chaotic, Bai Qige should have been worried, but the two sentences at Yi Chenjing's dinner party swept away all her low mood, and such a firm determination was enough to teach her peace of mind.
"It's not early, Li'er has to change the medicine today, I'll send her back first." Looking at the hourglass, Fu Chu got up and walked to Li'er's side and held the wheelchair steadily, gentle and considerate.
"Let's all go back and rest, and I'll talk about it tomorrow." Remembering that Bai Qige said that Fu Chu liked Qiao Qingxu during the day, Yi Chenjing looked at the young man's thin back in a daze, and was stabbed by Bai Qige before coming back to his senses.
Fu Chu sent Li'er back to the room, Zhan Ting and Ye Huawan also left together, and there were only two people left in the huge room.
"Tell Fu Chu alone tomorrow, about the Rouhu Messenger." Bai Qige put on a half-length fox white fur, and his cold hands naturally handed over to Yi Chenjing's palms.
"Well, Li'er and Ye Zi are here, it's inconvenient to say." Grabbing Bai Qige's hand and stuffing it into his arms, Yi Chenjing took a deep breath and sighed lightly, "Fu Chu doesn't want the two of them to hear too much about power disputes, and I don't want to, it's rare that there are still a few simple people in the palace, and if they are dyed black, they can't be washed clean." ”
In the palace where there is open and secret fighting, and there is a lot of deceit, simple-minded girls like Ye Huawan and Li'er are indeed precious, and the innocence and kindness they have are not only Yi Chenjing and Fu Chu want to protect, but Bai Qige is no exception, and it is precisely because of this that the conversation just now will end in a hurry, about the five envoys of Mo Nan, about Ruan Yanluo, and the deeper suspicions and speculations are hidden deep in their hearts.
Seeing that Yi Chenjing had no intention of leaving, Bai Qige gently pushed him: "You should also go, the East Palace is still some distance away from the Dust Xuan, don't go back too late and delay your rest." I'm sure the emperor will summon you to the Purple Cloud Palace early tomorrow morning. ”
Yi Chenjing shook his head: "If you don't go back, I'll sleep here tonight." ”
Since Fu Chu and the others and most of the subordinates went to the East Palace with Yi Chenjing, there are only two people living in the Chenxuan Xuan, Yu Che and Bai Qige, even if the brazier is lit, it is still very deserted, Bai Qige doesn't want Yi Chenjing to sleep here and catch a cold, but she doesn't say anything against it, she hopes to give Yi Chenjing freedom to the greatest extent and give him the most difficult thing to get as a prince.
On the way to the bedroom, Bai Qige followed Yi Chenjing silently, his hand was still clenched, Yi Chenjing was afraid that she would lose it, and he never forgot to hold her hand all the time, and the firm and powerful temperature passed from his palm to Bai Qige's body, so that the cold winter would not be too difficult to survive.
Yu Che had already placed two braziers in the bedroom, and the charcoal in the basin was burning when he went back, but this was not enough to make Bai Qige's body feel warm, and in the end, it was better for Yi Chenjing to be a human meat stove.
"The rest of the people are living outside the dust house, and in the middle of the night, they can't be tossed to take care of them." His gaze swept over Yi Chenjing's face, Bai Qige guessed that he was angry that she was not well taken care of, reached out and stroked the folds between the two sword eyebrows, and his smile warmed by three points, "I'm doing well, really, with Yuche here, everything is in order." ”
Xu is the two of them rarely talk about ordinary topics like this, and Yi Chenjing is inexplicably greedy for this feeling. With a long sigh, he hugged Bai Qige in his arms, and stared at the overlapping shadows of the two: "Sometimes I wonder if we are just ordinary people, can we live a happier life." If I really become a farmer in the field and you sew and cook at home all day, I am afraid that it will not take a year and a half to get tired of that kind of life. What do you think. ”
"Everyone has their own destiny, wealth is in the sky, and the royal blood can't escape the shadow of the deep palace after all. I'd rather you be a prince, a prince, or a general, otherwise your talent and ambition will be lost. Bai Qige turned over, the whole person pressed on Yi Chenjing's chest, and her fingertips unconsciously combed the broken hair at the corners of his forehead, "It's like that Princess Yanluo, if she was born in the market, she would probably be regarded as a, but once she is a princess, no one dares to criticize her, but she has to praise her courage and beauty, even Prince Da Yao dares to tease." ”
As he spoke, he turned to Ruan Yanluo again, and Yi Chenjing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You really care about it, I thought you were too broad-minded and wouldn't be jealous at all." ”
"What nonsense, talking about serious things, why did it become that I was jealous." Twisting Yi Chenjing's ears lightly, Bai Qige said with a straight face, "Seriously, don't you think that Princess Yanluo is difficult to deal with." ”
"In terms of the amount of alcohol, you are still more difficult to deal with, and your subordinates are merciful, and your ears are going to fall off."
"It's time to be serious."
After being glared at fiercely, Yi Chenjing finally put on a positive face with satisfaction, and the eyebrows that had just been smoothed were wrinkled together: "That woman seems to know a lot about Da Yao's personnel, and our understanding of Rouhu Guo is limited to business rumors, and we have already lost a step ahead in knowing ourselves and knowing each other, as for whether the marriage was her idea or whether Rouhu Guo had a plan, it is unknown." You can also see at the table today that when the other four countries put forward many suggestions, they have to look at the face of the Rouhu, thinking that the Rouhu Country is not as poor and weak as they claim to be, it is very likely that it is the core of these five countries, if they can successfully press their momentum, it will not be difficult to shock the foreign land. ”
Bai Qige was silent for a moment, and then sighed lightly: "You also want to continue to expand your territory. ”
Expansion means the invasion of other countries, war is inevitable, the distant country that rises in the war is not afraid of conscription and killing, but how can the people stand the beacon fire for many years. A northern expedition caused Lingyun City to be destroyed overnight, and how many tragedies in Lingyun City continued to be staged, how many simple and innocent people like Qiao Dahe were shrouded in horses, and how many people were displaced and their families were destroyed.
She's seen enough to be heartbroken.
"When I was still in the Zhao country, my mother told me that the thing she was most afraid of was that King Zhao issued an order to send troops." Bai Qige didn't continue the topic just now, quietly lying on Yi Chenjing's chest, his eyes didn't know where to fall, "Every time I receive an order to send troops, my father and second brother will go to the battlefield overnight, and then my mother always stands at the door and watches, no matter how late it is, no matter how cold the weather is, I have to stand at the door for a long time every day until my father and second brother return safely." I understand that kind of feeling, when you fought alone during the Northern Expedition, you didn't let me leave the camp, I finally understand what it means to be hopeful. ”
Yi Chenjing closed his eyes tiredly, pressed the corner of his forehead and rubbed it gently: "Going to the battlefield is a life-and-death fight, you think I want to." Over the years, my mother has persuaded me how many times to be honest and wait to be a prince and wait for the king, but if I don't wear armor and make meritorious contributions, where would I come from today, I am afraid that I will become a stepping stone for others in the power struggle. Originally, I thought that everything would be fine after the military exploits of the Northern Expedition, but I didn't expect my father to ......."
"I didn't expect the emperor to force you to marry her, did you?"
Nodding weakly, Yi Chenjing let out another long sigh.
"Chen Jing, I want to know the real reason why the emperor didn't allow me to become the crown princess." Bai Qige suddenly got up and sat half-sitting, and the faint light of the lantern outside hit her face lightly through the window paper, reflecting a strange and persistent expression.
There is always a solution to everything, and knowing the root cause to find a way out will not be at a loss, and now the two are just figuring out the thoughts of the Emperor Yao or struggling to resist, which is useless at all, it is better to think about it in the long run. Another reason is that Bai Qige doesn't want Yi Chenjing to have any more conflicts with Emperor Yao because of this, after all, they are father and son, if it is really because of her that the father and son are not in harmony, she really can't afford this crime.
Yi Chenjing knew that he couldn't stop her, so he groaned for a while, hooked his finger and touched it on Wei Liang's face: "The two of us will definitely not get an answer if we go to ask, so it's okay, tomorrow I'll go to talk to General Even, he is his father's confidant and an old friend, maybe he will know something." ”
"Then I'll go find the Queen Mother. After a brief conversation with the queen that day, I realized that no matter how much she lived in the Huanqing Palace all year round, none of the ups and downs of the harem could escape her ears. was able to force the emperor to that point back then, and he must not be a simple person. ”
It's amazing, the words that Yi Chenjing was forced to say by the situation during the day seemed to be engraved with a curse, and when there was no way out of this unrepentant relationship, it miraculously gave Bai Qige and Yi Chenjing new impetus, and the hope that was gradually blurring was ignited again, stronger and clearer than before.
Live well, together.
