Chapter XVI: The Cold War
I think "You, it's good" should be the opposite of his anger - otherwise, how can he go back to the house and not talk to anyone for three or five days, and finally even go to a meeting and ignore people.
If I accompany him up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire like this, I won't be "put into the cold palace" because of a sentence, right? I was very annoyed.
A few days later, even Xiao Jiu saw the clue, she finally caught "him" while Zhou Lingqing was taking a nap in the study, so she hurriedly ran back to the house, and said to me anxiously, "Madam, you go to the prince to make peace, at this time, Sister Zifeng is not guarding in front of the door - your opportunity has come!" ”
I'm also the nominal Prince and Princess Ling, and now I'm going to steal chickens and dogs like this?
She dragged me to the door of Zhou Lingqing's study, and then raised her hand to tap the door and window a few times.
Well, with that in mind, I walked in generously, turned and closed the door.
When he turned around, he was leaning on the chaise longue with his clothes folded, a book rolled up on his chest, his hands crossed behind his head, and the sunlight spilled in through the window, and the light and shadow of the leaves kept beating, and he was hidden in such a picture, comfortable and quiet.
As if disturbing his dream, he impatiently opened one eye and glanced at it, and quickly closed it, "It's you?" What's the matter? ”
"What I said that day......"
"You're right," Zhou Lingqing interrupted me, "Brother Huang is indeed acting like this, there is indeed a reason," after a pause, he suddenly sat up again, stared at me for a long time, and then continued, "But, how innocent am I, and what is my mother's crime?" The mother concubine is also sincere to him, it is he who does not know what the devil is, causing the people around him to betray his relatives, and I just want to get my own things back today, what is wrong? ”
"So, you're not wrong, I'll always be on your side—"
When he heard this, his eyes were full of surprise, "Don't you think I'm a rebel and a thief?" ”
With a cold face for so many days, do you feel that others treat him as a rebel and thief?
"I never thought so, it should be yours, and what you wanted, it should be in your hands - and as long as I can, I am willing to help you-"
I didn't know what was in my eyes at this time, until he got up from the recliner and walked to me, a meter away from me, lowered his head, and said with a little playfulness, "I'm afraid you don't have a sincere heart for this king—I advise you to take it back, this king has no intention." ”
At this moment, something fell down and shattered to the ground-this guy is really ruthless, "The prince is too worried, the five thousand gold is much more dazzling than the prince-"
The aura can't be lost.
"Preferably—" he chuckled.
I pushed the door and left without looking back, afraid that a moment too late, my flushed face would betray me completely—the first joy of my life was executed on such a peaceful afternoon, and the curtain came to an end.
But Zifeng is obviously "stronger" than me, not long after she became my attendant, she became a frequent visitor to Zhou Lingqing's study, serving tea and pouring water, or traveling with food and clothing, she is very dedicated, compared to before - after all, in the past, she only held the "general direction" of the house, and she had her own girls to do small things such as serving tea and pouring water.
Seeing Zifeng so attentive, Xiao Jiu was "angry" again, she said to me indignantly, it's over, the prince won't come to the side room for three or five days, I never thought that Sister Zifeng also began to give her arms, madam, you have to catch up!
Xiao Jiu is too naïve, he came to my house just to "beg" a plaster, get a throat tea, and I am his pharmacy! - Obviously, if he doesn't come, he is strong!
Harm, forget it, it's better to look at five thousand gold.
But a few days after I "let go" of myself, I came to the door to "say goodbye" like smoke, and I sat in the hall, watching her come in a curling way, and my heart was churning uncontrollably.
"Ma'am," she said, bowing.
I hurriedly invited her to sit down, this staggering and fragile body, turned around and fell in Xinyuan, isn't it all my sin?
"I'm late for the day, don't be surprised, ma'am," she apologized as she sat down, her face pale.
Can you pull it, it's late, what's the strange? I think it's common for you not to come!
"The prince has not stepped into the Ruyan Pavilion for three or five days, and he misses the smoke very much, I don't know if the prince has gone to the court at this moment?" She said, glancing in the direction of the study.
The prince often does not go to the house of Xiao Wang Xiao Qiao Xiao Wu for most of the year, and I have not seen people come to the door directly like this, "I miss it very much", people usually ask for peace, and look at the study from a distance to touch the cards, you are good, three or five days do not go! Besides, your prince has been busy all night in the study recently, and he has to rush to the morning court during the day, where can he have time to "get drunk and dream to death" with you?
"The prince has indeed been busy with business for a few days, and Zifeng knows this matter best!"
I mouthed Zifeng Nunu on the side, Zifeng rolled his eyes, but finally spoke, "The prince is busy, after a while, he will naturally go to see you-"
Ruyan smoked and wiped his tears with a silk scarf, "Then when the prince comes back, please inform the prince that Ruyan has come-"
I kept nodding my head, got it! Got it! I've been sitting here early in the morning, and it's like discussing it, Xiao Wang Xiao Wu Xiao Qiao just left, you came, and the whole morning was all about croaking!
But this should be promised in vain - I haven't talked to Zhou Lingqing yet, but was recruited by Zhou Lingqing, who returned from the night, to Ruyan Pavilion.
The two of you are teasing me, it's so easy to see it, so why bother with it in the morning?
In the smoke pavilion, he was lying on the couch weakly, his face full of tears, "Lord Wang...... I'm just afraid I won't be able to see you for the last time..."
"It's all unlucky words, when the princess comes, let her take a look at your pulse-" Zhou Lingqing sorted out the broken hair on his forehead like smoke and said softly.
Okay now, I'm not just your Prince Ling's personal doctor, your Bai Yueguang, your Bai Yueguang's stand-in, all rely on me.
"You're here," Zhou Lingqing heard the sound and looked sideways, "Ruyan went to ask you for an incident today, and you came to diagnose and treat?" ”
I didn't ask her to go! Besides, I am nominally the princess you set up after worshipping your ancestors! The imperial doctor outside can't be summoned?
I was reluctant to write on my face, but looking at the sick body on the bed, I couldn't help but go up and take a pulse. After that, I hurriedly wrote the prescription and asked Xiao Jiu to go back to Xinyuan to grab the medicine, and I took a break from Ruyan Pavilion.
The weather is getting cooler, I lie on the couch, huddled in the quilt, very indignant, and there are scenes of Zhou Lingqing sitting on the edge of someone's bed worrying in front of my eyes - a wind chill, such a life and death, I know why Xiao Wang Xiao Wu Xiao Qiao has not been able to rise for so many years, except that he does not look like Zhou Lingqing's white moonlight, and blame them for not being able to do this!
I was thinking about the grief when the door suddenly opened, and a figure flashed in.
"Your medicine is very good, she fell asleep immediately after drinking it-" It was Zhou Lingqing's voice.
If you speak out any longer, I'll shout to catch the thief!"
"In the middle of the night, the prince came and went freely, reading the books of the sages in vain, and he didn't know how to defend men and women-" I got out of bed and lit a candle, and my mouth stopped for a moment.
He sat peacefully on the edge of the couch, slightly tired, "You are the princess of this king, why avoid suspicion?" ”
At this time, I knew that someone else was the princess, so I asked the princess to give a little cigarette pulse!
"The house is turbulent, Ruyan has a special identity, I really don't dare to let people from outside in, I have wronged you-"
Special? It's quite special, and I don't see any prince and nobleman raising a "concubine" at home!
I was just about to theorize, but I saw him snoring lightly, can he fall asleep?
I quietly went over and put him down on the pillow, blew out the candle and nested in the bed, I looked at his eyebrows, smacked his lips, this guy would be able to be a sleeping beauty all the time, thinking like this, somehow fell asleep - when I woke up again, there was Xiao Jiu's scream in my ears, Zhou Lingqing and I opened our eyes one after another, I woke up a little, and a turned over and jumped out of Zhou Lingqing's arm, only to feel that his face was red and his neck was burning, but this guy sat calmly on the edge of the couch and put on his boots, "The hour is not early, this king has to go to the court, Xiao Jiu takes care of your princess—"
Xiao Jiu stammered yes on the side.
"It's incredible! In the past seven years, except for the drunkenness in Ruyan Pavilion a few days ago, I have never seen him stay with any concubine until dawn! ”
Seven years? I looked at Xiao Jiu's baby fat and wondered, "How old were you seven years ago?" ”
She folded her fingers and counted, "In the first year that the prince was sent to guard the border pass, I was sold into the mansion, because the foundation was clean, and I have been waiting for the prince since I was raised...... I was seven years old! ”
Ah, beast, Zhou Lingqing actually let a seven-year-old girl serve him to eat, drink, and Lazar!
"Madam, you are paying attention to the wrong thing, I mean, why did the prince stay in your room until dawn? Shouldn't he have felt that his wife's room was comfortable, and wanted to 'occupy the magpie's nest'? ”
Xiao Jiu covered her mouth, and could feel that she was seriously afraid of me.
"Xiao Jiu, I and the prince are husband and wife, we should share the same bed, it is normal to sleep in the same room, and when you grow up and marry in the future, you will naturally understand, and the word 'dove occupies the magpie's nest' is not appropriate here, the entire palace is his 'nest', how can it be said that the dove occupies the magpie's nest."
I "instilled" Xiao Jiu with the knowledge of the adult world, but she didn't understand, and muttered alone, "Ah, how inconvenient it is for two people to sleep in the same room-"
“……”
"It makes sense, it's normal to sleep in the same room," I saw Zhou Lingqing at the door smiling unscrupulously, obviously my "husband and wife theory" was heard by him.
"Lord Wang, haven't you left the house yet?" Xiao Jiu opened the door to welcome him in.
"The jade pendant on the king's waist fell into the house......"
While he was still talking, Xiao Jiu had already taken the jade pendant on the table and sent it out.
I was alone in the messy room.
