Chapter 199: It's a Deal
Xiao Xi smiled and was ready to salute, but he didn't want to, but he was held up by one hand.
"Come, let this palace take a look, and see if you are carved out of the same mold as they said, with the seventh brother." Chu Yan smiled, November 28, the thirty-seventh year of Yuanwu.
Chu Tianye, the son of King Yan, is full moon.
Early in the morning, the grandmother of the Inner Servant Bureau gave Chu Tianye a small embroidered auspicious cloud dress, and put on a complete set of gold collars, gold bracelets, and gold anklets given by the emperor, which made his little face particularly rewarding.
"This is the full moon of Xiao Shizi, and the slaves and maids have been serving in the bureau for so long, and they have never seen such a well-behaved child as Xiao Shizi. The slaves and maidservants are here to congratulate the princess. After dressing Chu Tianye, several grandmothers from the Inner Servant Bureau stepped forward and said to Xiao Xi with joy on their faces.
Xiao Xi smiled faintly, walked up to the grandmother, and hugged Chu Tianye from her hand.
After a month of careful care, the little face that was still wrinkled has grown a lot. Maybe he also knew that this was his full moon, so he didn't cry a word when he let the grandmother of the inner servant bureau fiddle with it in the morning, but only pursed his mouth and opened his eyes curiously.
"Princess, you see how much the little prince looks like the prince, as if he was carved out of the same mold as the prince." Ziyan leaned over and said to Xiao Xi with a smile while teasing Chu Tianye.
"Ahem." As soon as the purple smoke fell, the grandmother of the internal service bureau next to her covered her mouth and coughed vigorously a few times.
Today is the full moon wine of Xiao Shizi, and it is extremely unlucky to mention the deceased at this time.
Hearing the sound, Ziyan realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she hurriedly blessed Xiao Xi and said, "Princess, the slave has lost her words." ”
Xiao Xi lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Chu Tianye in his arms, and a faint light floated in his eyes.
At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Is it really that similar?"
Xiao Xi raised his head slightly, and saw that Chu Yanzhi was wearing a dark purple brocade suit, with a five-clawed golden dragon embroidered with gold thread on the brocade suit, and a pair of tourmaline stones inlaid with the dragon's eye, which refracted the cold light as he walked.
"Your Highness." The people in the room bowed sideways.
Stretching out his hand, he was about to take Chu Tianye away from Xiao Xiwei's hand.
Ziyan next to him saw Chu Yanzhi's movements, and was about to step forward to make a move, but was stopped by Xiao Xiwei with a look, and at this moment, Chu Yanzhi smoothly took Chu Tianye from Xiao Xiwei's arms.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Ziyan, Biyun, Ruosu, Hongyu, everyone stared closely at Chu Yanzhi's every move, for fear that he would make something unfavorable to Chu Tianye. Only Xiao Xiwei, from beginning to end, there was a light and comfortable smile on the corner of her mouth, as if Chu Yanzhi's actions today were taken for granted.
Looking at Xiao Xi's smile at the corner of his lips, at that moment, a thought suddenly flashed in Chu Yanzhi's mind - it would be nice if this child was his, he subconsciously looked at the child in his arms, and with just one glance, his eyes were burned by the golden light on his chest.
The golden collar on Chu Tianye's neck was given by the emperor, and there were two four-clawed golden dragons circling on the collar, and an egg-sized eastern pearl was embedded in the gathering place of the dragon prime minister, which was really exquisite and extremely luxurious.
With such a precious reward, it is obvious that he is announcing to everyone that he values this child.
The feeling that had swelled in his chest suddenly became cold at this moment.
This child is not his, after all.
"Don't say it, this kid really looks a little like the seventh brother." The corners of Chu Yanzhi's lips curled into a smile, and then he turned around and handed the child in his arms to Ruosu next to him.
Ruosu took the child, blessed Chu Yanzhi, and then stepped aside.
With Chu Yanzhi's movements, Xiao Xi smiled, she walked to Ruosu's side, stretched out her hand and touched Chu Tianye's little face lovingly, "He is a child of pity, naturally like him." As he spoke, his eyes overflowed with a bit of sadness, and he only felt pity in his eyes. It's just that, after saying this, she hooked the corners of her lips, raised her eyes to look at Ruosu, and said, "At this hour, Xiao Shizi should be breastfeeding, right?" ”
Ruo Su raised her eyes to look at Xiao Xiwei, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to disagree with Xiao Xiwei's words, but under Xiao Xiwei's cold gaze, she finally lowered her eyes and hugged Chu Xizhi to give her a blessing, "The slave and maid retreat." ”
"Go down too." Xiao Xiwei glanced at Hongyu, Biyun, and Ziyan again.
Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then felt that something was wrong, and was about to refute, but heard the voice of Hongyu suddenly sound, "Yes." Before she could react, she was pulled by Hongyu and walked out of the room with Biyun.
Seeing that the palace maids around Princess Yan were all branched out, which of the grandmothers in the Inner Servant Bureau was not a human spirit, and when she saw this situation, she naturally said goodbye with interest.
In the house, only Xiao Xiwei and Chu Yanzhi were left for a while.
"Xiwei, you asked me to send a message to come to Yongchun Palace, but you have something to say to me?" Seeing Xiao Xiwei's actions with his own eyes, Chu Yanzhi hooked the corners of his lips and said with a smile.
When he received Xiao Xiwei's note, he couldn't believe his eyes for a moment. But when he saw that the handwriting on the note was really Xiao Xiwei, joy followed by suspicion.
She never faked her color to him, and rejected him again and again, but this time she suddenly asked someone to pass a note to him, and there was naturally a reason for this.
Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyelashes moved like butterfly wings, the clear eyes were rippling, and the corners of his lips were intoxicating, "The concubine just wants to know, what the prince said to the concubine that day still counts?" ”
Such a bright and moving Xiao Xiwei, Chu Yanzhi is the first time he has seen it, but he is just ......
He gave her countless opportunities, but she didn't agree, but he mentioned it to him at this time......
Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xiwei and suddenly smiled, "Xiwei, you are so smart, you should have guessed the purpose of your father to let Tianye come back." ”
The smile on the corner of Xiao Xiwei's mouth receded little by little, she raised her eyes to look at Chu Yanzhi, and the original soft light at the bottom of her eyes also turned into ice little by little.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yanzhi's heart was relieved.
He knew, he guessed right.
Chu Yanzhi stretched out his hand, his rough fingers slowly slid across Xiao Xi's slightly snow-white face, and the dark light in his slender eyes was staggered, making it impossible to see what was hidden under his eyes for a while, "Xiwei, you are so smart, don't you think this is an opportunity?" Well? ”
Xiao Xi's eyes slowly dimmed, she pursed the corners of her mouth, and did not speak.
Chu Yan smiled and took two steps back, "Xiwei, don't tell me that you didn't think about using this opportunity to bring me down!" ”
She is so smart and icy, how can she let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to deal with him.
Although, this opportunity is actually non-existent for her.
Because, his good father will not allow her to stay in the palace and become a threat to them.
After Chu Tianye's full moon banquet, he would immediately send her to the imperial tomb to guard Chu Xizhi's tomb.
But she didn't know anything about that.
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, with a bit of bitterness in his smile, "It turns out that in the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine is such a scheming woman!" ”
Listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, Chu Yanzhi was unmoved, his dark eyes were still locked on Xiao Xiwei's body, as if he wanted to see something from her.
Xiao Xiwei raised his eyes again and looked at Chu Yanzhi, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really far-sighted, and he can even think of this." Yes, I don't deny that I did have this idea when I heard the news, but I can't risk Tianye ......" Speaking of this, Xiao Xiwei's voice suddenly choked up a little, "It's a pity that I'm dead, I don't want even Tianye to have an accident......"
The crystal teardrops were like crystal pearls, and they fell down drop by drop.
I have seen more of her gentle and decent appearance, and I have also seen more of her arrogant and indifferent appearance, and it is the first time he has seen Xiao Xiwei who is so weak and crying.
At that moment, Chu Yanzhi saw his cold heart softening little by little under the invasion of those tears.
It's just that......
He looked at the woman in front of him, still with a trace of doubt in his heart.
These tears can't be the weapon she used against him, right?
"I hate you, and I hate the person who sat on the Jinluan Palace, it was you who killed him! Once upon a time, I always thought it was a pity that he was still alive! So, I'll endure anything! But......" Xiao Xiwei stretched out his hand and pointed sharply at the tip of Chu Yanzhi's nose, his eyes were as cold and sharp as daggers, "You killed him!" He'll never come back! Do you know the pain and despair of what little hope is extinguished? Revenge, of course I want revenge! But I can't pull Tianye in! He is the flesh and blood of me and Xizhi, and the only blood left in this world by Xizhi! I must not let him take any risks! ”
Chu Yanzhi looked at Xiao Xi's eyes with undisguised hatred, and there were bursts of pain in his chest inexplicably.
Sure enough, all the gentle words just now were pretended by her.
She really only had Chu Xizhi in her heart.
All of this is just to keep her and Chu Xizhi's child.
"Since you hate me so much, why do you have to be wronged and say those things to this palace?" Chu Yanzhi narrowed his eyes, forced the sourness and anger in his chest, and gritted his teeth.
Listening to Chu Yanzhi's words, the coldness and hatred on Xiao Xiwei's body gradually dissipated, and the hatred in his eyes gradually turned indifferent. She looked at Chu Yanzhi, her slender eyebrows raised slightly, "This is just a deal, if I get what I want, then, Your Highness can also get what Your Highness wants." ”
"What do I want?" Chu Yanzhi smiled suddenly, and then looked at Xiao Xiwei with some sarcasm and said, "Xiwei, do you know what this palace wants?" ”
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Chu Yanzhi coldly without speaking.
Her expression was as if his thoughts on her were just jokes, and he could even exchange them for use at will.
The jealousy in his chest that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly grew like a weed, almost piercing out of his body
It's all the same feelings, why can his feelings be used! Deserted! Trampled!
Why!
Why!
Chu Yanzhi's eyes suddenly rose, and he stared at Xiao Xi for a long time without speaking.
Xiao Xi's slightly slender eyelashes drooped, and the sarcasm, resentment, and all emotions in his eyes were all covered up at once, but, "Do you think this palace will be stupid enough to ask for someone who wants to take revenge on this palace at any time!" Chu Yanzhi stared at Xiao Xi coldly and said.
A sneer on the corner of Xiao Xi's lips slowly spread, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks that the concubine will believe that His Highness will really let go of the sky Her voice sounded slowly, with unprecedented exhaustion, "In the end, whether it is for you or for me, this is an opportunity...... The only opportunity we can seize. ”
