Chapter V: Repayment of Debts
Chen Jiaojiao woke up early in the morning when she had something in her heart, sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned for a while before slowly going to Chen Zhen.
When Chen Zhen saw her come in, he gritted his teeth and smiled.
Yesterday, I wanted to keep Your Majesty, but not long after she went out, Your Majesty left, and half of her clothes were undone, and he didn't even look at her.
But she still held her forehead, deliberately leaking the red marks on her neck, looking tired.
"Jiaojiao, my sister was a little tired last night and got up a little late."
Chen Jiaojiao's heart was full of golden seals, and when she heard the words, she lowered her head again, thinking about her thoughts.
Chen Zhen posed embarrassedly for a long time, stood up with a red face, and said in a tough tone, "Go out for a walk with me." ”
It's been snowing outside these days, and Agarwood heartily took a sleeve stove and handed it over, "Your Majesty specially told the slave maid to let the princess take care of her body, and he is worried." ”
Chen Zhen smiled and said a word, glanced at the people around her, she still had no expression, casually as if she didn't hear.
She withdrew her gaze and walked forward angrily, but the expression on her face was scathing.
It shouldn't be, obviously she would be angry when others touched him before.
The one that comes to mind the most is "This is mine!" ”
Could it be that she looks down on her and thinks that His Majesty can't care about her?
Chen Zhen was furious, and when he raised his eyes, he happened to see Qi Yan and the guard named Fifteen beside him from a distance.
She looked around and thought about it, hurriedly touched her earlobe, and shouted, "Where are my earrings?" Agarwood, help me find it! ”
Qi Yan also saw them, and stood still after approaching. I heard that she was looking for earrings, and asked Fifteen to help her look around.
Chen Zhen wiped tears with red eyes, covered his heart and coughed continuously, "This is a relic left by the concubine." Your Majesty! Please help me find it, that's all I have in mind. ”
Agarwood held her and cried along, a master and a servant crying.
Something happened, Chen Jiaojiao reacted from a daze, squatted down and followed to look for it.
"Maybe it fell into the pool, I just saw it."
Chen Jiaojiao subconsciously looked over and couldn't help laughing.
It's a lotus pond.
She understood what Chen Zhen was going to do.
The lotus pond is living water, and it has never been frozen in the coldest part of winter, but the water in the pool is still flowing clear in the icy and snowy outside.
She really just wanted to laugh, there were almost no other masters in the harem, and His Majesty was bent on her again, and she was favored again last night.
Chen Zhen has always let her go, and he just clicks a little bit from time to time.
I can't wait to talk about this life-saving grace.
Qi Yan looked over and raised his eyebrows slightly, lowering his head to meet her raised gaze.
After a moment, Chen Jiaojiao understood, and he spoke. She lifted the hem of her skirt and walked straight down.
The biting icy water soaked her knees, she shuddered, gritted her teeth and took two steps forward, reaching into the water and groping.
Qi Yan on the shore didn't move, but his eyes were as cold as ice.
If you are not smart, don't guess what other people think, he doesn't have that intention.
The smile on Chen Zhen's face was about to burst, and he coughed twice before he could stop.
Unexpectedly, he asked someone to pick him up that year, but he was the right to save him.
"Sister, what are you doing, if you lose it, you can lose it, it doesn't matter. Sister, come up. ”
Chen Jiaojiao dodged her hypocritical outstretched hand, squatted down and groped at the bottom of the pool.
Her hands were cold and unconscious, and she forced herself to take two steps forward.
That year, she was not without guilt.
Now that she couldn't remember what had been dropped, she threatened him to either accompany her to the bamboo forest to pick up leaves, or go down to pick them up, and he chose the second one with a blank face.
Things are not so important, she is angry with his attitude, telling people not to come up if they don't find it.
Then she went with her sixth brother to release the paper kite.
She really forgot, and she didn't expect those subordinates to carry out her orders so seriously.
It was the height of summer, and he found the night from noon, when the sun was the hottest.
Later, she heard that he had fallen in the pool, and no one dared to pull him. When the third princess was rescued, she was no longer breathing.
She slipped into his room again at night, never before had she seen him so pale.
Chen Jiaojiao breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened her waist, and wiped away the emotions in her eyes. I have searched everywhere, and the debts that should be paid are also repaid.
She wiped the water splashed on her face and walked to the edge of the pool.
Seeing this, Chen Zhen flashed in front of her, and stepped on her hand on the edge of the pool, "Hey, isn't that shiny, can my sister go there and take a look." ”
Chen Jiaojiao retracted in pain, raised her head and glared fiercely at Chen Zhen in front of her, pretending that nothing had happened.
For a moment, she smiled, and in the vast white snow, she was bright like a peony in full bloom, dazzling and fresh.
His eyebrows and eyes were cold, with a hint of ridicule and coldness, and Chen Zhen's heart jumped.
Da Chen's most delicate flower was also dazzling when she stepped on it, and she felt for a moment that Chen Jiaojiao was proud and noble in her bones, and she was afraid that she would not be able to learn it in her life, so she bowed her head.
"Of course I can find it for my sister, but what if my sister turns over this lotus pond for her sister today. It's just that if you can't find it, my sister can wait. ”
With that, she turned and lifted the hem of her skirt in the direction of her fingers.
Chen Zhen's hands behind him couldn't stop trembling, and fear arose spontaneously. Your Majesty is still looking at it, if you can't find it, it won't be a slap in the face.
Qi Yan looked at it coldly, the hand behind his back twisted the jade wrench on his thumb, and his eyes were so heavy that people couldn't see their emotions.
"Pump the water and call someone down to find it."
"Yes."
Fifteen acted quickly, Chen Zhen's cold sweat soaked his back, giving Agarwood a look.
Agarwood knelt down knowingly and slapped herself, "It's the slave who remembered the mistake and forgot to bring earrings to the princess in the morning." The slave is wrong, the princess punishes the slave and the maid. ”
Chen Jiaojiao straightened up, her feet were cold and she was already unconscious, she didn't let anyone see it, and walked to the edge of the pool step by step.
I just accepted the favor yesterday, I shouldn't have conceived so soon, and she is not considered to have murdered the emperor's heir.
She smiled sweetly and tilted her head and stretched out her hand, "That's good, sister pull me down." ”
Chen Zhen couldn't react nervously in the morning, so he came over to pull her.
The hands of the two held hands, and Chen Jiaojiao just wanted to pull her down with her hands, but was stopped by a pair of hands.
Qi Yan held her wrist, and the warmth of his palm was transmitted to her, and Chen Jiaojiao was stunned. He pushed her out in the opposite direction, then pulled her and Chen Zhen away.
She was dragged up by him, and sat on her knees unsteadily, her eyes wide in disbelief.
He obviously stood next to him and saw that Chen Zhen was deliberately making trouble for her.
"Sister, I'm really sorry, it's my sister's fault, don't blame Your Majesty."
Chen Zhen took her hand and helped her up, apologized sincerely, and bowed deeply. His face was full of guilt, but the show-off in his eyes flashed.
The two of them stood side by side, and Chen Jiaojiao looked up.
only to realize that Chen Zhen was his sweetheart, of course he would not allow it. Suddenly, grievances surged up from the bottom of her heart, Chen Zhen deliberately looked for trouble, couldn't she even find it back?
She forcibly endured the warmth in her eyes and laughed, feeling that she was really getting more and more pretentious. It turned out that there was nothing wrong with her at all, so she looked back and forth at the two of them a few times and turned her head and ran forward.
Qi Yan stared at her back and retracted his gaze, this time it should be returned to her, there will be no next time.
Under the man's cold gaze, Chen Zhen trembled, opened his mouth and called His Majesty and closed his mouth.
She suddenly felt that maybe there was no her at all in Qi Yan's heart, and she even hated her, but she just borrowed a favor.
Watching him leave without even saying a word, she slapped Agarwood in the face, her fingers clenched tightly.
*
In the evening, Qi Yan sat at the table with his head propped up, and he didn't read a word of the fold in front of him.
Her mind was full of afternoon events, wondering if it was cold, and feeling self-inflicted, she was 18 and not 8 years old.
He pinched his eyebrows irritably, and called fifteen.
He didn't know what to say, "Forget it, go down." ”
Fifteen tilted his head in confusion, but he still retreated.
The hall was quiet again, and he walked to the window and looked at the lotus pond not far away.
He didn't hold a grudge against her at all for this, it didn't make sense.
She was only 7 years old that year, and he had just been brought back by her.
At that time, he had just been injured so he was exhausted and fell into the water, and he knew that she didn't have the heart to remember him.
It's okay to think about dying, I should have died, and I earned it by stealing my life for a year.
I didn't expect to be rescued.
When I fell asleep at night, I felt a very warm thing lying on my body, and the sweet aroma was like a freshly boiled milk cake from the grassland.
When she opened her eyes, she held his face with both hands, puffed up her little face seriously to block his lips, and the breath passed to him from her lips.
He was stunned for a long time, until she straightened up when she was ventilating.
"You're not dead!"
His eyes lit up in the night, and he put his arms around his neck with joy, and blinked his big eyes with tears overflowing, "They said you were dead." ”
She leaned closer, breathed together, straddled him, and curled up in his arms like a cat.
Idiot, now that he thinks about it, he still thinks she's stupid and pathetic. When he died, he was angry for him.
He pushed her away, also trying to scare her, so that she wouldn't dare next time, close her eyes and hold her breath.
It took her a long time to poke him, and when she got closer, the tip of her nose rubbed against her face, as if she sensed that he was out of breath.
"Don't you die, don't you die!"
She could be heard crying, holding his face and shaking it back and forth, then pressing it to his lips again.
This time he could clearly feel her soft lips pry open his lips and hit his teeth, and he snorted in pain.
The long breath was given to him, and the tears falling on his face were hot.
Even though the pain in her body was still reminding him of what she had done, her heart had long since stopped complaining.
Chen Jiaojiao has this ability.
One moment it makes people want to hang her up and beat her, and the next moment she can please people.
She is selfish, strong, timid, and arrogant, but everyone in the palace likes her and is willing to exchange fun and delicious food for her smile.
He withdrew his gaze and sat down at the table.
He would rather hate her for something like this, then they were at least possible.
