Chapter 34: Matsuki?
"Don't be happy in the prosperous times, don't worry about natural disasters, you have your own prince Qianyuan to protect the world."
Li Yanxiao sighed, "You bothered to write so much, just this sentence is enough for my father to be furious." β
Chu Tiange rolled up his sleeves and wrote down a few more words.
"There are not enough and not subtle enough, and new songs in the market can pierce the emperor's heart. Hurry up and think about it. β
Li Yanxiao shook his head, "I can't think of half a word of praise for him." β
"The master praised you for your good homework, and the ink is like flowing water, so you don't have to be serious."
She sat and looked up at him slightly, his silhouette was extraordinarily delicate, and his eyes were as clear as a galaxy.
After Li Yanxiao paused for a moment, he said, "You live in a room with Liuyue, and you get along with her a lot, but she can detect abnormalities." β
Chu Tiange thought for a moment and shook his head, "It shouldn't be." I said every day that I was very tired, and my voice was not very comfortable, so I didn't talk to her much. β
Liuyue is really a chatter, every day when she sees "Sister Songyue" and shouts cheerfully, she can't stop with her small mouth.
Although Li Yanxiao said that she and Song Yue have similar voices and similar temperaments, after all, they say less and make fewer mistakes, Chu Tiange avoids talking about them and responds perfunctorily.
After a pause, she was also puzzled: "The ridiculous proposal of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu today is intentional, but what is the matter with Zhao Guogong's reconsideration in the court today. β
Li Yanxiao was also puzzled, "Maybe he really agrees with the proposal of the Ministry of Rites." β
"How is it possible, he is not a rough person like Xu Meng." Chu Tiange said with a smile.
When Wan Cheng entered the study, he saw Song Yue sitting on the seat of the five princes and writing with a pen, while the five princes were standing beside him grinding, and the two were talking and laughing.
This picture is really quiet and weird. No matter how much Songyue has to be trusted, she is just a close maid official, how can she cross the distance like this.
He couldn't help but think of the rumors circulating in Duanmu Palace these days, all saying that Songyue had recently won the favor of the Fifth Highness, and was too intimate, Wan Cheng scolded them back when he heard these words, "Don't talk nonsense, the Fifth Highness is in a bad mood, Songyue naturally has to be considerate." β
But seeing this scene in front of him, Wan Cheng's heart can no longer be steady.
Chu Tiange raised his eyes and saw Wan Cheng, immediately left the chair, stood aside and said respectfully: "Your Highness asked the maid to write the ballad silently, the maidservant has written it, Your Highness, please take a look." β
Li Yanxiao took the paper in his heart, and then looked at the stunned Wan Cheng, "Something?" β
Wan Cheng came back to his senses, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "I'm here to ask His Highness for a favor!" β
Chu Tiange remembered the words he said from the bottom of his heart a few days ago, Wan Cheng waited for the fifth prince to be in a good mood to ask for marriage, although Li Yanxiao had a sad face in the past few days, he smiled more in front of the attendants around him.
Wan Cheng keenly smelled that the time was almost up, and the rumors in the palace made him panic.
Li Yanxiao asked curiously, "What grace do you want?" β
"Your Highness, Songyue and I are in love, and I ask Your Highness to give you a marriage!"
Li Yanxiao was stunned on the spot.
He didn't find out that there was a personal affair between Songyue and Wan Cheng, this was a good thing and should be fulfilled, but now that the real Songyue is hidden outside the palace, who will marry Wan Cheng?
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
Chu Tiange took a deep breath, knelt on Wan Cheng's side, and said with difficulty: "Songyue and Wan Cheng are indeed in love, but the queen mother is in poor health, and the maid is very worried, and she has no intention of marrying for the time being, so let's talk about it later." β
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
Li Yanxiao readily responded to her words. This matter cannot be refused, it can only be postponed.
Wan Cheng glanced at Songyue suspiciously, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually expanded.
-
The five princes are no different, except for going to the queen's palace a few times a day, they are particularly close to Songyue, a close maid.
After Li Yunlin listened to the report, he was silent for a long time and repeated the name: "Songyue? β
He knew about this maid in Chonghua Palace, and it was not uncommon for the fifth child to promote such a beautiful maid, but this Songyue's nose and eyes were similar to Tiange, and her body shape was also similar, so Li Yunlin also looked at her a few more times.
If Tiange returns to the palace...... Matsuki is nothing more than the best choice.
Thinking of this, he lightly ordered: "Prepare a gift, go to Chonghua Palace." β
-
The litter of cats in Chonghua Palace has also become familiar with Chu Tiange in a few days, and there will be cats who will jump on her knees while she is squatting, and will also climb on her shoulders.
Li Yanxiao half-squatted and scratched the chin of a round three-flowered cat, and the cat purred comfortably, "The gray cat that gave you was born by it." β
Chu Tiange's heart seemed to have been hit by a sharp object, and it was broken, and it hurt and hurt.
Li Yanxiao patronized the cat, and after a while, he raised his eyes and saw her reddish eyes and was stunned, "What's wrong?" β
Chu Tiange wiped his eyes, "I miss it." Ember Sky, it's really a good cat. β
Li Yanxiao rarely heard her call herself so affectionately, and she raised the corners of her mouth happily.
"I'll sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion and steal that cat out for you."
Chu Tiange shook his head, and he couldn't speak again.
She saw that the three-flowered cat had big eyes as clear as copper bells, looked at her without blinking, and meowed softly. She seemed to hear it asking, "What about my child, are you okay?"
Her head shook a little uncomfortably, she slowly stood up, and after trying to adjust her breath, she said heavily: "Li Yunlin must not be an emperor, virtue is not worthy." β
This abrupt words came into his ears, Li Yanxiao took a deep breath, and said softly: "It's okay, it's all over." You seriously injured Li Yunlin, and this time it also made him suffer a big loss, let's look forward. β
If she didn't say it, he couldn't ask what happened, but he knew that something happened to the cat, and it was related to Li Yunlin. That guy really doesn't know what to think, and he can't even let go of a cat.
The palace maids and guards stood not far away, and although they could not hear what they were saying, they could see their situation clearly.
Li Yanxiao's hand was eager to try, but finally stopped at her hand and retracted.
How carefree and carefree this woman used to be, but now she is so full of worries, and even laughter is always bitter.
In fact, he used to think that he just liked to see this woman happy.
It wasn't until something happened to her that he wanted to punch Li Yunlin's shameless face that he understood that this woman's smile had unconsciously burned into his heart.
Later, he found out that she was not dead, possessed by Pei Xueji, how happy and careful he was not afraid to debunk it, and talked about interests over and over again to persuade her to marry him, he really wanted to marry this girl.
How he wanted to make this girl happy again.
"You're not angry, I'm going to fight him."
After saying that, Li Yanxiao turned around and was about to leave, but Chu Tiange subconsciously grabbed his hand, "Don't, it's so naΓ―ve." β
There was a warm and soft touch in the palm of her hand, Li Yanxiao looked down at her and took the initiative to hold her hand, and held it back slowly and tightly, hoping that she would never let go.
It was quite normal to stay on foot, but Chu Tiange was so hot by his burning gaze that he quickly retracted his hand.
"Go and fight, don't come back if you don't beat him up."
Li Yanxiao smiled and said, "No, that guy will never be sober." Tiange, follow me to see the queen mother. β
