CHAPTER XXIII
They were chatting "happily" on the side, but Shi Ruoying was itching on the side. When everyone was caught off guard, Shi Ruoying suddenly stood up and took two steps, and then fell towards Shi Yuqi very deliberately, thinking that the plan was perfect in her heart. didn't know that almost everyone present saw Shi Ruoying's little trick, but they didn't say anything tacitly, anyway, it wasn't their own family members who were embarrassed, they were also happy to see jokes.
Zhao Hongmei obviously didn't expect Shi Ruoying to make trouble on such an occasion, and she didn't react for a while to grab her, and when she reached out to pull it, it was too late, so she could only watch her daughter be stupid and frame Shi Yuqi.
Shi Yuqi felt the strange wind behind him, didn't speak, pretended not to know, but at the moment when Shi Ruoying fell, he suddenly got up and walked towards the queen, squatting in front of the queen delicately, holding the queen's arm, "The queen mother, the son is not dependent!" ”
Shi Ruoying didn't expect her to get up suddenly, she couldn't control her momentum for a while, she fell down uncontrollably, slammed on the solid wood chair, knocked out two teeth, and her lips were also broken and swollen. Shi Ruoying's face turned pale in pain, and she opened her mouth to cry. Blood flowed out of his mouth, mixed with saliva, and he looked a little disgusting. All the female dependents turned their heads, this picture was too impactful, and they said they didn't dare to look at it.
"Ah, second cousin, what's wrong with you?" When Shi Yuqi heard the voice, he immediately turned his head, looked at Shi Ruoying's appearance and was "startled", and patted his chest in shock, looking like "You scared me".
"Slut! Why don't you hold on to me! You just did it on purpose! Shi Yuqi, you are jealous of me! You just can't see me! Shi Ruoying cried regardless of it, pointing at Shi Yuqi is scolding.
Shi Yuqi pursed her lips, and Yun looked at her lightly and scolded, but the queen darkened her face when Shi Ruoying shouted the first word. If it weren't for Shi Yuqi patting the back of her hand and signaling her to be calm, she would definitely beat this impolite and shameless thing! Dare to insult the princess, cut her as it should be!
Zhao Hongmei watched the queen's face gradually gloomy, her face turned from red to white, from white to blue, and she walked over and slapped Shi Ruoying hard before the queen could speak, "Evil girl!" You shut up! What nonsense! That's your cousin! ”
I have to say that Zhao Hongmei was ruthless, and when she slapped down, Ruoying was beaten, and half of her face was swollen. The hair was stuck to the face, and the hairpin hung down crookedly to the side, and the appearance was not embarrassing.
"Mother! What am I saying wrong! Shi Yuqi, she is jealous that I look better than her! "Shi Ruo's cigarette mouth is still bleeding, and his speech is still leaking, so it's not funny. When she said this, I don't know who didn't hold back and laughed.
When one person took the lead, he naturally had no scruples and laughed in a low voice.
Shi Ruoying and Zhao Hongmei heard that their faces turned the color of pig liver, and they couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. Shi Ruoying came back to her senses and knew what she had just said, her little face was red and white, and Shi Yuqi was worried that she would be in a hurry or have a myocardial infarction.
"Second cousin, are you sure I'm jealous that you're better looking than me?" Shi Yuqi pointed at himself, his eyes widened, full of disbelief, and then looked at the queen with a sad face, "Queen Mother, is this really the case?" ”
"Don't listen to her nonsense, it's a little pretty and beautiful!" The queen's face distorted for a moment, and she glanced at Shi Ruoying like a nervous disorder, and that glance was meaningful!
Shi Ruoyan looks like her mother, weak and enchanting. Shi Ruoying's appearance is more than Xiao's father. Shi Qing is a Chinese face with good facial features, which is really not handsome, and Shi Ruoying is also a goose egg face with a slightly square upper and lower jaw, because Zhao Hongmei is a goose egg face. Shi Ruoying's eyes are like Zhao Hongmei's Danfeng eyes, the corners of her eyes are raised, her nose is still small, and her facial features are delicate at best.
If Shi Yuqi is jealous that Shi Ruoying is more beautiful than her, there is only one possibility, this world is ugly as beautiful.
The queen spoke, but Shi Ruoying didn't have the courage to refute, leaning on Zhao Hongmei's arms and crying. At her age, her teeth have fallen out and can't grow anymore. With this leaky mouth all her life, Shi Ruoying felt ashamed and indignant when she thought about it.
After Shi Ruoying was taken down, this wryly laughing episode was quickly ignored, but there was one more conversation between the ladies after tea and dinner. What is it called? It is especially possible to do evil in heaven, but it is impossible to live if you do evil in yourself.
After the participants in the autumn hunt came back, Shi Yuqi handed Xiaobai to Youlan and walked over with the queen.
King Xuan's face was not very good-looking, and Shi Yuqi naturally knew why. He ambushed and dealt with the dead soldiers of Long Yiheng and Gong Chen, as well as the secret guards who took out to deal with Shi Yuqi and robbed the talismans, and all of them died. Shi Yuqi couldn't help but laugh at His Royal Highness King Xuan, who had an empty bamboo basket. But also, if there are only people left, Shi Yuqi should doubt the strength of Wuji Palace and Blood Killing Pavilion.
No matter how high King Xuan's rank is, it is impossible for him to be safe and sound under the tripartite alliance of Long Yiheng, Gong Chenjiao and Shi Yuqi. However, Gong Chenjiao is a royalist, who is the emperor and who he helps, it can be said that as long as it does not involve the safety of the people he cares about, Long Yiheng's life and death have nothing to do with him. But Shi Yuqi is different, she is helping Long Yiheng.
As for why Shi Yuqi has been helping Long Yiheng, it is because the queen will definitely propose to let Shi Yuqi marry Long Yiheng in the future and assist the prince to ascend the throne. However, she will inevitably refuse, and everyone will be ugly in the future, help Long Yiheng now, and when the time comes, she can also ask for mercy and refuse this request. Although it is not glamorous, Shi Yuqi said that she will not have pressure to do it.
Straight to the point.
The ladies of each family quietly looked at everyone's prey, and as expected, the emperor hunted the most. Long Yiheng and King Xuan were more or less less prey than the emperor, but the prey around Gong Chenjiao was the least. But what caught the eye was that Gong Chenjiao was holding a live fox in his arms, a snow-white silver fox. The body is not large, meekly nestled in the arms of Gong Chen, and looks exceptionally well-behaved. The fox is the most cunning, and it is not easy to shoot the fox, he actually went to catch a live fox.
Shi Yuqi couldn't help but be surprised again, Gong Chenjiao looked so serious, a person who actually liked this kind of soft and cute creature! It's unbelievable.
After surviving the noisy bonfire dinner, Shi Yuqi sat alone on the trunk of a tree, holding a wine jar in his hand, looking at the bustling crowd not far away. Bright torches, bewitching dancing girls, and mellow wines all spread out. Shi Yuqi looked at the group of scantily clad dancers with an expressionless face and scratched their heads at the drunken officials, the officials half-pushed and half-pandered and the ugly faces of some of the female dependents on the side.
"Xiaoxiao, I've been looking for you for so long, why are you here alone?" Long Yiheng walked over at some point, stood under the tree, and landed next to Shi Yuqi on tiptoe.
"Aren't there two of us now?" Shi Yuqi smiled indifferently, and moved without a trace while holding the wine jar.
Long Yiheng noticed Shi Yuqi's small movements, but he didn't say anything, and smiled kindly, "Today is a bumper harvest!" In order to find venison for you, my father chased most of the forest, and we were tired enough! ”
"Really? The father's sword is not old! Shi Yuqi also smiled, and he still had some feelings for this titular father. At least the emperor gave her a place to stay, and didn't let her be sent to a fence or become a homeless orphan.
Long Yiheng's words changed, "Xiaoxiao, why have you helped me for so many years?" Long Yiheng's expression was very serious, and there was a very thick tenderness hidden in his eyes, which was as intoxicating as the old wine in his hand.
"I'm the Imperial Secret Knife!" Shi Yuqi didn't look at it much, he hung his head after taking a sip of wine, and couldn't see his expression clearly. She knew what answer Long Yiheng wanted, but she couldn't give that answer, and she couldn't give it in this life.
"Tiny, you know what I'm asking." Long Yiheng raised his hand and patted Shi Yuqi's head, his voice was as gentle as ever, even if he knew Shi Yuqi's answer, he was not lonely.
Shi Yuqi was stunned, did not look up, and the voice that spread out in the night was fragrant with wine, which made people a little intoxicated, and suddenly said: "Brother Prince, I am about to die, I am not a child." ”
Long Yiheng was stunned for a moment, and two guesses appeared in his heart, one good and one bad. However, he didn't want to hear the bad ones, because that would separate him and Shi Yuqi in two planes, and they would never be able to cross that barrier again.
"So, let's try to avoid that kind of action just now!" Shi Yuqi's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid that he would break something if he was loud, "Brother Prince, I'll help you, because you are my brother." From childhood to adulthood, you and Yiting are the only ones who are sincere to me, Brother Prince, do you know what I mean? "Although this sincerity is somewhat mixed with interests, it doesn't matter, as long as there is sincerity, it is enough.
An imperceptible look of pain appeared in Long Yiheng's eyes, "Xiaoxiao, can it only be my brother?" "Even if you keep it for ten years and wait for ten years, you still can't get the result you want?
Shi Yuqi turned his head away, didn't look at the light in her eyes that was shattered by her, and said fiercely: "Yes." I know why my mother nurtured me, and I can help you. However, from the moment you became the crown prince and had your first woman, I was not destined to be your wife. Because what I want is the only body and mind, and you can't afford it! ”
Shi Yuqi jumped off the tree and walked towards the crowd. Even though she didn't love, it was her brother after all. She also thought about marrying Long Yiheng simply, because the Shi family army needs an heir, and the royal family is undoubtedly a good choice. But she couldn't accept polygamy, she wasn't so great, and gave up her principles for the sake of the Shi family.
Long Yiheng watched Gong Chenjiao walk towards Shi Yuqi and watched the two of them frolicking. He is the crown prince, and he will also be the future emperor, he will have three palaces and six courtyards, three thousand beauties, and what she wants is the only body and mind. With this alone, they are doomed to be out of reach.
