Chapter 40: Do You Want to Marry Me?
Shen Muzhou walked towards the women's seat in full view of everyone.
His facial features are three-dimensional and handsome, his eyes are full of coldness in the peach blossom eyes that were originally extremely charming, his thin lips are slightly pursed, his aura around him is gloomy and terrifying, and his clothes and hair are elegant.
Lin Yanxi smacked his tongue, those who knew about this posture were sending lychees, and those who didn't know thought they were going to send people to the end.
She lowered her head slightly, stopped looking at him, and poured a glass of fruit wine.
Only the moccasin finally stopped in front of her seat.
With a "clang", the glass plate with more than a dozen lychees was placed on her table.
"Slanderous rabbits."
He whispered.
Lin Yanxi lifted his eyes in surprise, his bright and deep eyes were like flashing stars, when he lowered his eyes to look at her, his long eyelashes were down, and his indifferent gaze was unpredictable, with a hint of insincere smile.
???
Her brain is a little blank, isn't this for Luo Jingxin?
Thinking of the events of the previous day, could it be that he and Jing Xin quarreled again? They quarreled and always pulled her to do something.
Everyone couldn't react for a while, and then subconsciously looked at Luo Jingxin's reaction.
"Doesn't this Nine Princes like the Lord of Chaoyang?"
"Hehe, didn't this Chaoyang County Lord just say that the prince knew that she loved to eat fresh fruits and wanted to give them to her?"
Luo Jingxin's smile froze on her face, feeling the eyes of the people around her, her face was suffocated red, and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand in embarrassment.
She has always been the leader among the nobles in the capital, she has fallen into the country and the city, and her talents are unparalleled, these names are hers, and how many men are eager for her.
Now she is humiliated in public, and she can't get on and off the stage at the palace banquet, all because of Lin Yanxi!
The feeling of humiliation was full of nowhere to vent, the corners of her mouth twitched, her head drooped, she didn't want people to see her downcast, and she secretly swore in her heart, Lin Yanxi, you won't die well!
The humiliation I have suffered today will one day be returned to me in full.
She stood up from her seat, looked at the people in Weiyang Palace pitifully with tears in her eyes, her voice was soft and delicate with a thick cry: "Sister Xi'er, you have approached me several times, these are all premeditated by you, right?" ”
As soon as Luo Jingxin's words came out, everyone present instantly understood the reason, and Lin Yanxi stood up from his seat and hurriedly explained.
"Lord Chaoyang, I'm ......"
I have nothing to do with him.
She blocked this sentence in her throat, and before she could say it, she was pulled behind by Shen Muzhou.
Shen Muzhou directly interrupted her and said, "This lychee is what I want to give her." ”
Luo Jingxin's curled eyelashes hung a few teardrops, like a small white flower that was not stained with dust, her tears fell very sensibly where they should fall, and a tear crossed the white skin when facing everyone, and anyone who saw it would feel distressed.
She deliberately exposed half of her arm, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and exposed the flesh on her arm that had not yet fully grown.
"The Nine Princes embarrassed me in public for her, okay, then do you dare to say that you owe me nothing?"
Shen Muzhou saw the wound on her arm and paused, he was caught in a spell a few days ago, and it was Luo Jingxin who took care of him, and even used his own flesh and blood as medicine.
What does it have to do with the events of the day? I owe a lot of people, should I be at her mercy in everything if I am indebted, and let her threaten her? ”
Luo Jingxin said with tears in his eyes: "I didn't mean that, Lord Wang, I know that you were just bewitched by her for a while, and I am waiting for you to change your mind." ”
Lin Yanxi hurriedly explained: "Jingxin, no, Lord Chaoyang, we are innocent, it's really not what you think." ”
Luo Jingxin sneered coldly, not believing her words at all, and then saluted the emperor and queen: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I, I am unwell and want to retire first." ”
The queen waved her hand and allowed it, and the moment she turned to leave with her skirt in hand, she whimpered.
Luo Jingxin is the head of the nobles in the capital, she has been in the limelight over the years, but fortunately, she is kind to people and is the county lord of His Majesty, although everyone is dissatisfied in their hearts, they don't show it, and now seeing her so embarrassed, I can't help but feel a little happy in my heart.
But the picture of her turning around and sobbing and leaving fell into everyone's eyes again, making everyone who watched it feel pity, and it was no longer the gloating expression just now.
Lin Yanxi looked at her distant back, her little white face was helplessly twisted, and she sighed heavily.
It's over, she can't explain it clearly.
She glared at Shen Muzhou with resentment, this dog prince, what he said just now was that he had already admitted that he owed Luo Jingxin, how could the love debt he caused always be unlucky.
The emperor stared at Lin Yanxi and asked, "Whose girl is this little lady?" ”
The queen replied: "Back to Your Majesty, this is the second lady of the Taifu Mansion." ”
"Speaking of which, this second lady has been in the limelight recently, and she first rejected Qingyun's marriage proposal, but no, she couldn't get involved with the Nine Emperor Princes."
The emperor waved his hand and said: "Okay, you don't need to say it anymore, it's not uncommon for this family to have a hundred women asking for it." ”
Emperor Nan Min was deep in thought, he didn't say it on his face, but in fact, the prince's every move fell in his eyes, he hated the queen and the prince the most to win over the power of the court, so that the real power would be hollowed out.
This is also the purpose of his cultivation of Shen Muzhou, the two check and balance each other, is the balance point, if the prince completely wins the power of the Taifu Mansion, this balance point will be broken.
In fact, Shen Muzhou is the most important candidate for him, but it is a pity that he is unruly and difficult to train, and he has held a grudge against this father for many years because of the death of his mother's concubine.
Lin Yanxi stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen Your Majesty." ”
The emperor's deep eyes fell on her, this woman's lips were red and her teeth were white, her childish apricot eyes were black and white, very smart, her facial features were exquisite, and her fair little face was moody and not whitewashed.
He asked in a deep voice, "Okay, if you two are interested, I will marry you alone." ”
Marriage??
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground, straightened up, and glanced at Shen Muzhou in a panic.
How could she marry Shen Muzhou?
Daddy's side won't agree to it, and ...... He already has someone else in his heart.
The queen's eyes swept over the two, if Lin Yanxi married Shen Muzhou, the prince's position would be in jeopardy, and she must not let this unfavorable situation occur.
"Your Majesty, think twice, you should be cautious about marriage."
"Then do you think Lonely's finger marriage is child's play?" His voice was displeased.
The power of the Son of Heaven is unchallengeable, and the Weiyang Palace was quiet, and even the atmosphere did not dare to breathe, and everyone's heads were
The queen saluted nervously, and buried her head low, "The concubine doesn't dare." ”
The emperor's voice relaxed a little and continued: "Come, summon." ”
"No!"
Two voices came out of Weiyang Palace at the same time.
The emotion in Shen Muzhou's eyes was unpredictable, he glanced at Lin Yanxi and said, "Erchen...... I don't want to get married. ”
Emperor Nan Min had no expression on his face, but it made people shudder, "Children of the royal family, when will you be able to make your own decisions about marriage?" ”
Shen Muzhou repeated again firmly: "Erchen doesn't want to marry a wife. ”
Lin Yanxi knelt on the ground, feeling sullen in her heart, you don't want to marry a wife, she doesn't want to marry yet!
Emperor Nan Min asked, "Give me a lonely reason." ”
Shen Muzhou exuded a cold mockery and said, "Because Erchen doesn't want to be the same person as His Majesty." ”
After hearing him say this, the people in Weiyang Palace looked at each other, this prince is really crazy.
Lin Yanxi's legs were weak, and he looked at him and looked at him.
Big brother, you don't want to live, don't drag her to die with you.
Emperor Nan Min angrily snatched the cup on the table and threw it to the ground, the shards splashed, scratching Shen Muzhou's cheek, the wound was small but deep, and the scar was scarlet.
"Presumptuous!"
Shen Muzhou's pale face was cold and warm, and his cold eyes looked directly into Emperor Nanmin's eyes as if they had been quenched with poison, without a trace of fear.
When he was a child, he saw his father sacrifice his mother in order to secure the throne, and it was his own hand
He didn't want Lin Yanxi to become a victim when there was a one-day dispute between the two parties.
In Nanmin, he is in danger all the time, there are so many people who want to kill him that they can't prevent it, and those people can't kill him, so they will try their best to move the people around him.
At that time, Lin Yanxi would become his only weakness and fall into danger.
He glanced at Lin Yanxi with complicated eyes, she couldn't understand what was in his eyes.
In short, that kind of complex and sad emotions made her feel panicked.
He ignored the angry Emperor Nanmin, pulled up Lin Yanxi, who was kneeling on the ground, and walked outside the Weiyang Palace.
"Wait, wait." Lin Yanxi struggled for a while, but did not break free of his hand.
Shen Muzhou paused and let go of his hand, Lin Yanxi turned to the emperor and saluted: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, it's the courtiers who are not worthy of the Nine Princes, eh, eh, the emperor, the courtiers retire!" ”
He picked up the plate of lychees, dragged Lin Yanxi's slender wrist, and left Weiyang Palace.
The queen instigated: "These Nine Emperor Princes are becoming more and more unruly, and they don't take Your Majesty seriously at all." ”
The emperor picked up another silver cup and drank it all, and the dry wine was spicy from his throat to his stomach, and he felt a little more relaxed.
He said coldly: "Do you do things with loneliness in your eyes? ”
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, the concubine doesn't dare to disobey you."
He sneered and didn't speak, thinking of the reason why Shen Muzhou refused to marry just now, in the past, he would say when he refused to marry, "Erchen doesn't like it." ”
Today, he didn't say he didn't like it, he stroked his beard and smiled.
The queen smiled when she saw him, and laughed too, where is the emperor's eccentricity, this Shen Muzhou ignored the monarch again and again, and the emperor tolerated it again and again, does it really mean to change hands in the East Palace?
She wants to kill this kind of thing at the root.
In the darkness, Lin Yanxi let him hold him, turning his wrist from time to time to break free of his hand.
He walked in front of him in a dark color, his whole body was a shoulder taller than Lin Yanxi, he walked very fast, exuding a lonely and cold atmosphere, he seemed to be very lonely, I don't know why, Lin Yanxi just felt that he was very lonely,
Shen Muzhou glanced back at her, and seeing that she was struggling to keep up with his steps, he let go of her, slowed down, and stuffed the lychee he was holding in his hand into her arms.
The two walked outside the palace gate together, and the moon stretched the shadows of the two people for a long time, and neither of them spoke, only the sound of footsteps remained for a while.
"Scaring you?" Shen Muzhou's voice sounded coldly.
Lin Yanxi shook his head and said, "No." ”
Shen Muzhou paused, and the moonlight shone on the side of her face, lining her whole person extremely softly.
"So, do you want to marry me?"
He wanted to know the answer, and it was important.
Lin Yanxi asked rhetorically: "What, if I want to marry, will you marry me?" ”
