Chapter 21: The King Warms Up the Princess
The carriage seemed to automatically block out the hustle and bustle of the outside world, and the small space was so quiet that it was suffocating.
Murong Ji was uneasy and glanced at Jiang Huaiyin.
He sat quietly on the low couch, his body swaying slightly with the bumps of the carriage, the black mole between the wings of his nose was still there, and his thin red lips were slightly raised.
"Is it pretty?" Jiang Huaiyin stretched out his hand to pull out his sleeves and looked at her, "It is said that Xiao Bie is newlywed, the princess is thinking about this king?" β
Murong Xi tore off the fence, avoided his unintentional provocation, and smiled with a smile, "The prince came back at the right time, and those few medicinal herbs, with my 'unremitting efforts', have finally been collected." β
Jiang Huaiyin's face was a little mocking, but he looked a little gentle.
"Is it because the royal palace doesn't have enough money? Need the princess to make money to buy medicine herself? β
The abrupt accusation made Murong Xi confused, "What does the prince mean?" "She can spend the money of the palace indiscriminately?
"Presumably, the princess's consultation fee should be a lot, right? Is that Chu Gongzi enough? Jiang Huaiyin said lightly.
Although it was the first meeting with Chu Chengshu, the two tacitly knew that they were old rivals.
At this juncture, he bumped into Murong Xi and Chu Chengshu to meet, Jiang Huaiyin inevitably did not re-examine Murong Xi.
Murong Xi's heart fell heavily.
For a moment, it was impossible to tell whether he was angry or mocking.
Then he tentatively said: "Healing the prince can save my life." For the treatment of the prince of Chu, in exchange for a few medicinal materials, is it too little? β
Murong Xi guessed that what happened during this period of time could not be hidden from Jiang Huaiyin, so he came to "confess and be lenient", "The matter of the prince's poisoning cannot be spread outside, who knows if the head of the Fu Yuan with wolf ambitions has any accomplices?" Therefore, when I buy medicinal herbs, I have to be careful not to reveal my identity to others. β
She picked up the fence and said seemingly casually: "The conscience of heaven and earth, it was the first time I entered the Jishi Hall, and today is the second time. β
"So coincidentally?" Jiang Huaiyin obviously didn't believe it.
Murong Xi nodded, "No book is written without coincidence." β
was able to meet Jiang Huaiyin, who had just returned to Beijing, and she felt even more coincidental!
Jiang Huaiyin laughed: "Gongzi Chu is not a thing in the pool, if the princess takes refuge in Gongzi Chu after leaving, it will be a good place." β
Murong Ji stared at him with wide eyes, unable to digest his words for a long time.
So, he thought she was looking for a "next home"?
Her surprised expression didn't seem to be fake, at least Jiang Huaiyin didn't see any flaws.
But he was unforgiving, and gave Murong Xi a thunderous blow, "At least, this king feels that he is much more reliable than the eldest prince." β
Jiang Huaiyin's smile deepened, and her tone was gentle, thinking about her everywhere.
But his eyes are always cold, like a frozen spring in the dark night of deep winter, making it impossible to see through the long stream or the muddy ice blade behind the ice.
Murong Xi couldn't figure out the situation anymore, and she knew that she should show weakness now, her head shook like a rattle, and she waved her hand in fear:
"Thank you for your kindness and finding a way back for me. But this time, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the prince, I'm really not familiar with him. β
admits that she wants to reconcile and leave, but she can't find the pot of the next family on her back!
There was a thick scorn in the timid voice, but it did not affect the sound of the voice in the slightest.
Compared to before the separation, it is more like the voice of a normal person.
Jiang Huaiyin just sat on the low couch and listened to her words, his expression was faint, and he withdrew a lot of coldness.
Murong Ji knew that he had made the right bet.
continued to brew emotions, and said softly: "The prince even thinks about me after leaving, I really can't repay it, so I have to detoxify the prince as soon as possible, I wish the prince all his wishes come true!" β
As soon as the words fell, Murong Xi leaned forward slightly, and he looked like Chongjiang Huaiyin to give a salute.
Every gesture is full of sincerity.
Jiang Huaiyin smiled.
She and Li's little thoughts, don't think he can't hear it.
He sighed and leaned back, and was about to say something disappointing, when the carriage suddenly jolted violently, and Murong Xi, who was bending over to salute, couldn't stabilize the center of gravity of his body, and rushed towards Jiang Huaiyin-
A pair of fragrant softness without temperature suddenly struck and hit him firmly in his arms.
Jiang Huaiyin looked at the black sideburns against his chin, his eyelashes drooped, and the emotions in the depths of his eyes were slowly swallowed up by an unknown interest, and he inexplicably didn't want to delve into the topic of harmony.
"What's wrong?"
He didn't push Murong Xi away, kept a motionless posture, and asked out of the car in a deep voice.
Listening to the sound that almost came from his chest, Murong Xi just wanted to find a hole to get into.
She swears she didn't mean it!
got up from Jiang Huaiyin's arms in a gray manner, and pulled the corners of Jiang Huaiyin's mouth with a crimson face, humble and embarrassed.
Fortunately, Jiang Huaiyin didn't look at her.
Ye Lan: "Back to the prince, something happened." β
Outside the carriage, he stumbled over with the lord of Dejun.
There was an infatuation in his tone that couldn't be avoided, and his eyes were glued to the carriage.
"Hede, see the Nine Emperor Uncles."
Only a few short words made the Lord of Hede red-faced.
She hadn't seen Jiang Huaiyin for a long time.
When she first walked out of the rouge shop, she thought that she was dazzled, she had missed someone for too long, and she saw the shadow of that person everywhere.
Rubbing his eyes, he was sure that he was not mistaken, it was indeed Jiang Huaiyin!
I kept following up, just wanting to see the person in my dream-
Murong Xi was still curled up in Jiang Huaiyin's arms.
The "Nine Emperor Uncles", who were pretentious by this voice, cried out goosebumps all over his body.
That bit of shame disappeared suddenly, and he hurriedly retreated away from Jiang Huaiyin, waiting to watch a good show.
The air was silent for a while, and Jiang Huaiyin kept his head hanging and didn't say a word.
"Nine Emperor Uncles? It's Hedeβ"
And the unwilling voice of the county lord came again.
"Come here." Jiang Huaiyin opened his mouth.
The sound was not loud, but it was clearly heard inside and outside the car.
Lord Hede suddenly laughed, it seemed that she had finally been appreciated by Jiang Huaiyin, she was more worthy of Jiang Huaiyin than Murong Xi's mute.
On the background of the family, on talent and knowledge, and the lord of Dejun boasted that he crushed ten Murong Xi.
If there was no queen mother's intervention, she would be very sure that she would be the one who is in harmony with the regent Qin Se today.
And now, she has to brave the cold and hide in a sparsely populated corner to see Jiang Huaiyin.
Fortunately, he didn't refuse as coldly as before.
Lord Hede suddenly felt that the weather was not so cold, and his steps were much brisker, but the tip of his nose was a little sour.
"Come here."
In the carriage, there was another low shout.
Murong Xi couldn't help but hesitate and turned her head to look at Jiang Huaiyin.
Jiang Huaiyin actually leaned over slightly, scooped up Murong Xi and circled it into his warm fox fur, wrapping it firmly.
Murong Xi looked at the face that was getting closer and closer, smelling the faint fragrance of agarwood on his body, and suddenly panicked in his heart.
The handsome face that was close to Chi Chi slowly drew a doting smile.
"Didn't the princess say cold? Come to the arms of the king, and the king warms the princess. β
At the same time, the curtain of the car was lifted by a bare hand, and the sunlight suddenly broke in, intertwining half-light and half-darkness on the two people embracing each other in the car-
