Chapter 229: I want to establish a concubine
When Chu Yanzhi came back, it was already dark, and Xiao Xiwei was drinking porridge with Hongyu's hand, when she heard the sound, her watery eyes looked at him, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Your Highness, you are back." ”
The smile was light and shallow, but it was like a huge wave crashing on his chest.
"Isn't it...... What's wrong? As if sensing that Chu Yanzhi's expression was wrong, Xiao Xi frowned slightly, and said cautiously.
"It's fine." Chu Yanzhi smiled, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Xi's slightly green fingers, looked at her with gentle eyes, and said, "Isn't the wound still painful?" Do you drink any medicine? What did the Imperial Doctor say? You okay? ”
Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly, his thick and slender eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's okay, it's just a little trauma, the imperial doctor said, just rest for a while." ”
"That's good." Chu Yanzhi looked down at Xiao Xi's fingertips like white jade, and the knots that had piled up since he came out of the Chongde Hall became heavier and heavier.
How should he speak?
"Your Highness, but my father and the emperor ...... Blame you? Xiao Xi frowned slightly and looked at Chu Yanzhi, and said cautiously.
Chu Yanzhi frowned, raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiwei.
This matter can't be hidden after all, and tomorrow she will know about it.
"Stand down, all of you." Chu Yanzhi's side eyes glanced at the maid standing in the room.
"Yes." The servants and maidservants of the house all withdrew.
Hongyu glanced at Xiao Xiwei, and finally blessed the two of them, and walked out of the room behind everyone.
In the room, there were only two people left, Chu Yanzhi and Xiao Xiwei.
"Your Highness has something to say to me?" Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi slightly, and his eyes were cold with insight into everything.
She had always been a smart woman, and he had always admired her intelligence, but at this moment, he really wished she could be less smart.
"Xiwei, I'm ......" Looking at those clear eyes, Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt that he couldn't say anything.
Looking at Chu Yanzhi's hesitant appearance, Xiao Xi laughed softly slightly, "Your Highness, but you want to tell me that the things you promised me can't be fulfilled now?" ”
"Xiwei, it's not that I can't honor it, as long as you give me time, I will definitely leave the position of queen to you in the future. Certain. Chu Yanzhi looked hard into Xiao Xiwei's eyes and solemnly promised.
Xiao Xi looked at him slightly, and after a while, she smiled, but the smile was like ice floating on water, both cold and a little vain, "It must be ...... Before that, His Royal Highness also swore to me that I was the only one who could sit in the position of the crown princess. ”
Chu Yanzhi's brows twisted unconsciously, and he said with a solemn face, "Xiwei, Gu An is broken, I need the support of the Zhang family." ”
"The Zhang family? Could it be the number of chapters of the great general of the Divine Wisdom Battalion? Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly.
As soon as her words came out, an indistinguishable undercurrent crossed Chu Yan's eyes.
With just one Zhang family, she could quickly deduce that the person he was going to marry was the daughter of Zhang Shu, and such intelligence was really shocking.
Seeing Chu Yanzhi's expression, Xiao Xiwei didn't understand anything, at the moment, she smiled lightly, lowered her eyes and said softly, "If it's General Zhang's daughter, then I have nothing to say." ”
Although there are soldiers in the hands of the loyal and brave Houfu, the troops are in Wucheng, and the so-called far water cannot quench the thirst of the near. And the Shence battalion held by the chapter has 70,000 elite soldiers. Although the Shence camp is not in the capital, it is the closest barracks to the capital, and the emperor set up the Shence camp, which also has the possibility of coming to the rescue in case of an accident in the capital. Back then, when the first prince was still there, Lu Guogong wanted to hire the eldest daughter of the next chapter for his son Lu Haichuan, but unfortunately, he was married by the emperor first.
"Xiwei, this is what my father meant." Chu Yanzhi frowned.
"If His Highness is unwilling, can he still force you to fail?" Xiao Xi looked at Chu Yanzhi with a slight smile, and said in a cold voice.
Chu Yanzhi's brows tightened more and more, "Xiwei, I thought that the things I did for you were enough to make you believe me, but now it seems that otherwise, ......"
He had already rejected the emperor's marriage for her, and even planned to make her the crown princess when the situation was unfavorable to him now, but now the situation was not with him, and his father even had plans to hand over Yan Yunwei to the hands of King Qin, so he also urgently needed the support of a military general with troops in his hands. It's not that he is unwilling to fulfill his promise to her, it's just that the situation is different now, and marrying the daughter of Zhangshu is just an expedient measure. Besides, didn't he also promise her that in the future, when he would become a big deal and ascend the throne as emperor, the supreme position beside him would still be left to her, why couldn't she take a long-term view? Can't understand the decision he made today?
"Until now, I don't believe Your Highness, hasn't Your Highness made a decision? In that case, what else is there to say. Xiao Xi said coldly.
"You're right. Now that I've made my decision, there's really nothing to say. Chu Yanzhi said, his eyes suddenly cold.
Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Chu Yan, and suddenly, she reached out and lifted the quilt, got up from the bed and was about to go out.
"Xiwei, you ......"
Before the 'what' in the back could be said, Chu Yanzhi saw her body suddenly shake to the side, and suddenly tilted to the side, seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, he hurriedly got up and reached out to hug her.
"Hiss......" Xiao Xiwei reached out and touched the back of his head, gasping in pain, and his face, which was originally bloodless, became more and more pale.
"What's wrong? Did you pull the wound? Chu Yanzhi panicked in his heart, and hurriedly turned his head to look over. The gauze that was originally wrapped around his head was already soaked with red blood, Chu Yanzhi only glanced at it, and then he was distressed, and hurriedly said, "Come on, hurry, call the doctor over." ”
As soon as his voice fell, a maidservant girl immediately answered outside the door, and at the same time, as soon as the door opened, Hongyu walked in with an anxious face.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Hearing Hongyu's voice, Xiao Xi raised his eyes and stretched out his hand to her with great difficulty, and endured the pain and said, "Hongyu, quickly, help me up." ”
Hongyu frowned, looked at Chu Yanzhi with some puzzlement, and then whispered to Xiao Xi, "Princess, you shouldn't have quarreled with His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" ”
"Nonsense...... ...... hiss" Xiao Xi glared at Hongyu slightly, he didn't want to, but he touched the wound, and he gasped in pain.
"Princess, you are still injured now, don't be angry with His Royal Highness the Prince, right?" Hongyu whispered.
No, her sentence attracted a big roll of the eye.
"What, are you going to turn your elbow out?"
The anger that had originally accumulated in Chu Yanzhi's heart was thrown out of the clouds because Xiao Xiwei was about to fall, and now he looked at her eyes that were not eyes and her nose was not nose, and he didn't feel a little funny, and when he heard Hongyu's words again, he suddenly realized in his heart that at the same time, an indescribable sweetness surged up inexplicably.
It turned out that she was angry with herself!
"Xiwei, everything is my fault, I didn't do what I promised you, it's understandable for you to be angry, it's just, don't hurt yourself." Chu Yanzhi hugged Xiao Xiwei, and Leng Jun's face was rarely full of smiles.
"I hurt myself, can you handle it?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his watery eyes suddenly rolled out a white eye.
Chu Yanzhi, who had never seen Xiao Xiwei like this, was stunned at first, and then finally couldn't help laughing, "Yes, yes, I can't care if you hurt yourself, but can't I feel distressed?" ”
Xiao Xiwei's snow-white and delicate face seemed to finally burst open, and she pushed Chu Yan, "These words, the prince should not say these words in the future." No matter how much you say, others won't believe you much, so why bother. ”
Seeing more Xiao Xiwei's indifferent and detached, quiet and self-contained appearance, Chu Yanzhi had never seen Xiao Xiwei who was so angry and petty like an ordinary woman, it was not so much surprise as ecstasy. Isn't this a proof that she is no longer Princess Yan wearing a mask in front of him and building an invisible wall between her and herself, but a vivid and true Xiao Xiwei who will show her joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. How could this not make him ecstatic.
"Your Highness, has the slave maid come to see the doctor?" Hongyu whispered to Chu Yan.
Chu Yanzhi raised his head to look at Hongyu, his ink-colored eyes were full of happy smiles, and even his voice was a little brisk, "Go ahead." ”
Hongyu was stunned, but soon, she woke up, she blessed the two of them, and turned away.
"Xiwei, my intentions for you can be learned, even if I really marry Qin Shu's daughter, I will definitely not let you suffer half a point of grievance." Chu Yanzhi hugged Xiao Xiwei, looked down at her affectionately, and solemnly promised.
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and snorted lightly, "How does Your Highness want to guarantee it?" Welcome me into the mansion and give me a place as a side concubine? ”
"As long as my heart is with you, even the concubine can compare to you." The way of Chu Yan.
"Although the main concubine and the side concubine are one word apart, they are thousands of miles apart. Does Your Highness want me to greet Concubine Zheng every day and accept her comments on me? Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and said.
"With me here, how can I allow her to find fault with you. Xiwei, are you thinking too much? Chu Yanzhi said with a smile.
Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly to look at Chu Yanzhi's eyes, and also smiled with him, "Your Highness also grew up in the palace, and you must have seen the battle between women badly." You're there, she doesn't dare to do anything to me? But Your Highness, can you keep watch over me at all times? ”
Chu Yanzhi's eyebrows moved, he thought for a moment, and then said, "Even so, Yixiwei is smart, even if she has the heart to make things difficult for you, I'm afraid she will ask for her own hardship." ”
"Then I dare to ask Your Highness, will you agree with me to use these little cleverness on Miss Qin?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
Chu Yan was stunned, and then fell silent.
He married the daughter of the Qin family for the sake of the military power in the hands of Qin Shu, if Xi Weizhen did something to the daughter of the Qin family, can he win over the Qin family and say something else, I am afraid that he will offend the Qin family.
"What do you mean?" Chu Yanzhi turned his gaze to Xiao Xiwei again.
Xiao Xi turned his head slightly, and cast his eyes on the few junzi orchids inserted in the white porcelain blue and white phoenix tail vase on the high table of the window.
Since Chu Yanzhi can ask this question, it means that he will not give up marrying the daughter of the Qin family, and since this is the case, presumably, he will not object to her request.
"Your Highness, take me to the hot spring villa in the west of the city." Xiao Xi's voice rang out in a low voice.
