Chapter 231: The Crown Prince's New Concubine
The hot spring villa in the west of the city is at the foot of Linlan Mountain, and there are several hot springs at the foot of this mountain, which were bought by the wealthy nobles in Beijing to build the villa annex. The villa where Xiao Xiwei lived was the dowry placed for her by the Zhongyong Waiting Mansion, and the nearby mountain courtyard, she vaguely remembered that it was from a certain adult in the court, so when Chu Yanzhi jumped from her own mountain house to someone else's courtyard with her in her arms, she couldn't help but lose her face.
"It's a pity, you're crazy, you're not afraid of being discovered!"
Even if the lord is not in the courtyard, there are always servants left in the courtyard to clean and guard, and it would be bad if they were alarmed.
Listening to Xiao Xiwei's words, Chu Xizhi couldn't help but smile, "Fool, who will find out." With that, he jumped up and down, and landed in a quiet courtyard.
There is a cherry blossom planted in the courtyard, perhaps because there is a hot spring next to it, although the weather is cold, but the cherry blossoms are very dazzling, under the soft moonlight, the petals bloom layer after layer, and the tip of the nose is surrounded by a faint fragrance of flowers, which is very refreshing. What's even more unexpected is that there is a mahogany table under the cherry blossom tree, and there are white jade wine bottles and two white jade wine glasses on the tray.
"This ......"
It can't be that some adult has set up a drink here for them to visit, right? Don't......
"I always feel that this villa is a little smaller, but the two of us don't think so, but in the future, we will add a few more younger brothers and sisters to Ye'er, I am touching, it is better for us to tear down the courtyard wall in the middle, so that it will be spacious." Chu Xiyi pulled Xiao Xiwei to sit down and said with a smile.
When he said this, Xiao Xiwei still didn't understand.
At that moment, she smiled lightly and said, "It's good that you think about it, but have you asked me?" ”
Chu Xizhi's eyebrows furrowed, sighed faintly, and said, "Wei'er, I have always regretted that I didn't accompany you when you gave birth to Ye'er. Speaking of this, his words suddenly changed, "Hey, Ye'er is also pitiful, a lonely person, not even a younger brother and sister to accompany him." ”
"Why did I say that I didn't want to add a brother or sister to Ye'er?" Xiao Xi's slightly phoenix eyes turned, and the water waves rippled at the bottom of his eyes, which made Chu Xizhi's heart itch for a while.
"Then what you just said ......"
Xiao Xi smiled slightly, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes were full of sparkling, "You demolished the wall, so whose house is it?" ”
Chu Xizhi was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing, "What a shrewd and powerful lady did I marry?" ”
"What? Do you regret it? ”
"I don't dare. However, since Mrs. asked this, the husband naturally had to give Mrs. a satisfactory answer. ”
"What is your answer, husband?" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was like the clear water in the spring lake, shaking people's hearts for no reason to ripple one after another.
Chu Xi smiled and took Xiao Xiwei into his arms, "Even I am yours, do you need to talk about the rest?" ”
In an instant, there were countless sweetness overflowing the chest, and even the breath was filled with sweetness.
Xiao Xiwei stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Chu Xizhi's waist, and pressed his face tightly against his hot chest, only feeling that the present world was stable, and he had nothing to ask for in this life.
Today is the happy day of the prince Chu Yanzhi marrying Zhang Duoer, the daughter of General Zhang, the whole capital is shrouded in joy and firecrackers, a whole set of cumbersome etiquette down, the bride returned to the new house It was already dark, but there was still a commotion outside the East Palace Prince's Mansion.
The lamps in the room are all colored glazed corners, painted with peony flowers symbolizing wealth, and when they are illuminated by the red candles inside, they cast a lot of dark shadows on the ground.
And the crown princess Zhang Duoer hung her head, staring at the heavy shadow with countless fears, trepidations and insecurities through the seams under the Xipa.
Suddenly, the footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and the door was pushed open with all of a sudden.
Xi Niang, who had been with her all the time, saw the person who came, and said happily while blessing herself, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very happy." ”
Today, Chu Yanzhi drank a lot of wine, and he wanted to get himself drunk, but he was persuaded by others, and those people hugged him and pushed him into the new house.
"Crown princess, the prince is happy to drink too much wine today, you are waiting for your life, and we will leave first." Lu Haiyang and a few people who sent the prince into the new house threw down a sentence, and then laughed and dispersed.
The crown princess, who was covered with a happy pa, unconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes with both hands, and pulled the red wedding dress out one wrinkle after another.
Xi Po stepped forward with a smile and wanted to mix Chu Yanzhi over, but who knows, as soon as she stretched out, a sharp gaze swept towards her.
"Get out."
Xi Po was stunned at first, but she lowered her head and thought about it, and still cautiously tested, "But Your Highness, you haven't ...... a glass of wine yet."
"Get out!" Chu Yanzhi turned his face impatiently.
The gloomy eyes startled the Xi Po, who dared to say anything and discorded, and hurriedly led the maid in the house to retreat. And a grandmother and a girl who married with the crown princess looked at the crown princess sitting on the bed with great worry, and couldn't decide whether to leave or not for a while. But when, Chu Yanzhi's gloomy gaze swept over, their hearts were cold, and their feet had subconsciously moved towards the door.
For a while, there were only two people left in the house, Chu Yanzhi and Zhang Duoer.
Even through the bright red Xipa, Zhang Duoer could still feel the Dawson's cold gaze at her. Even when she came, Mama had already instructed her over and over again, but now, she couldn't help but start to tremble slightly.
One-step.
Two steps.
Three steps.
A pair of black boots with white soles suddenly appeared in front of her, and the boots were embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon with money, and she subconsciously held her breath and didn't even dare to breathe.
On his forehead, beads of sweat fell down one drop after another.
She stared at the boots, and her mind went blank.
Suddenly, the Xipa hanging in front of her eyes was suddenly lifted, and a burst of light poured in, and she suddenly felt a little tightness in her chest.
In front of her is an extremely well-behaved face, even if she is painted with thick bridal makeup, she still can't hide the clean and well-behaved aura on her body.
After a whole day of depression, when he saw the little face that was suffocating red, he finally couldn't hold it back, he reached out and couldn't help but nod the little head, and said with a smile, "Fool, inhale!" ”
As if suddenly awakened, Zhang Duoer took a hard breath, and then spit out.
She said that she felt tight in her chest and dizzy just now, and it turned out that she forgot to breathe just now, and she was blamed for being too nervous just now.
Looking at the simply timid face in front of him, Chu Yanzhi suddenly felt that he couldn't get angry.
How could a martial artist give birth to such a daughter.
Zhang Duo'er, who had come to her senses, quietly raised her head, and what caught her eyes was an extremely handsome face, the bright red of her body still couldn't hide the sharp breath between his eyebrows, and her face turned red at once.
She had never seen such a handsome man, had she really married this god-like man just now?
"Temple...... Your Highness ......" She forced her heart full of excitement and shouted with a red face.
"Hmm." Inexplicably, Chu Yanzhi responded.
Zhang Duoer, who got a response, hurriedly lowered her head, and a satisfied smile curled up at the corner of her mouth.
The heart that was originally a little restless and depressed was inexplicably smoothed at this moment.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness ...... "Suddenly, there was a frightened sound outside.
Chu Yanzhi frowned, and at this time, the door of the new house was pushed open, and Lian Xia ran in in a panic.
Seeing the gloom in Chu Yan's eyes, Lian Xia took a step back in fright, stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and stammered, "Your Highness, Your Highness, I didn't mean it, I just ...... Lord Lu, he ...... He ......"
At the beginning, he arranged for the two girls who waited for Xiao Xiwei in Chao'an Temple did not want to be instructed by Mama An and disobeyed his instructions, since then, he asked people to buy new maids from outside for the grandmothers in the house to discipline, thinking that one day when he sent these girls to take care of Xiao Xiwei, they would not be used by others, so the first thing they did after entering the house was to recognize who their master was. And Lianxia is one of these handmaidens.
Now, when he heard her mention Master Lu, the first person that popped up in his mind was Lu Haiyang.
"What do you see?" Chu Yanzhi said with a gloomy face.
Listening to Chu Yanzhi's words, Lian Xia seemed to think of something, and her face turned even paler, "Slave, slave maid saw that Mother Liu in the kitchen was busy today, so she helped her serve a snack, and then ...... Then I saw Master Lu go out of the back door with a calm face, but I don't know why he and Master Gu had an argument, and then ...... Later, the slave maid saw him knock Master Gu unconscious. ”
"Master Gu? Which Gu adult? ”
"It's the one who used to come to our house." Lianxia said with wide eyes, and after that, she lowered her head, unconsciously rubbed the handkerchief in her hand with both hands, and hesitated for a while, "Actually, slave maid...... The slave and maid heard their argument a little, and ...... Lord Lu looked like he was going to some mountain villa to kill someone, but Lord Gu didn't seem to agree, and said, I'm afraid that the prince will scold you if you know......"
After listening to the previous words, Chu Yanzhi was originally nothing, but when he heard the back, his face changed suddenly, and he pinched Lianxia's hand, "Gu Cheng?" ”
Lian Xia's whole face was distorted in pain, and her tears kept falling out in fright, but now, under the persecution of Chu Yanzhi, she didn't dare not speak, so she had to reach out and point, "On the side of the rockery in the back garden, the slave maid was scared at that time...... And ran away......"
When Chu Yan heard this, he immediately let go of her hand, raised his foot and walked out.
Behind her, Lianxia shook her sore wrist and forced back the tears that were about to fall, she took a deep breath and was about to go out, but she caught a glimpse of a bride behind her with an ignorant face. In an instant, the tears she had just forced back poured out again, and she cried to Zhang Duoer with an aggrieved face, "Princess, did the slave maid say something wrong just now?" ”
No, Zhang Duo'er, who heard Lian Xia's words, stood up in a little panic, waved her hand at Lian Xia, and said, "No, no, you didn't do anything wrong." After saying that, he stood quietly with his head bowed like a child who had done something wrong.
Lianxia, who was originally pretending to cry, saw such a situation, and couldn't help but say a sentence in her head - this princess is not a fool, right?
