Chapter 668: To Each His Heart
Hearing this, Jing Yuan's little face turned even redder, and at the same time, he was thundered by her rude words, is this what a woman should say?
"You really don't sleep, do you? If you don't sleep, I'll sleep."
He yawned, turned his back, and muttered, "The long night is long, and the cold wind is miserable, and it freezes you, and I don't have the money to treat you."
I don't know if it was her crow's mouth, but the boy really sneezed, and at the same time felt a cold wind blowing in. Glancing at the woman with her back to him, her feet moved to the side of the bed.
Seeing that the woman didn't speak again, breathing evenly, she should be asleep. Only then did he carefully lift the corner of the quilt and lie down gently.
The bed was not big, and in order to keep a distance from her, Jing Yuan let himself sleep to the very edge, almost half of his body was hanging outside, and the quilt was only on one side.
Feeling someone lying down beside her, the sleeping girl opened her eyes slightly, and turned around to see the child who was stiff and almost completely exposed.
sighed in his heart, this kid is really stubborn. Regardless of whether he agreed or not, he reached out and took him into his arms, and shackled him in his arms with his hands and feet like hugging a bear.
Feeling the boy's strong protest, he wriggled in her arms like a caterpillar, trying to break free from the bondage.
He yelled impatiently, "Don't move!"
Sure enough, the child in her arms did not move again, but her whole body became more stiff, and she could even feel that what was in her arms was not a living person, but a piece of hard wood.
"Junbao, you are so warm, let me hug you." The voices were softer, and it was really warm to hug each other like this.
The little body in his arms trembled slightly, how could he have the feeling that a flower thief wanted to force a woman from a good family, and it was still the type of old cow eating tender grass.
In order to divert his attention, Chu Xia found a topic to speak, "Junbao, can you tell me about Chu Cangmo?" What do you think of him?"
Sure enough, this topic made Jing Yuan's tense body relax, but his brain was tense.
"He's a very deep-minded person, able to endure what others can't, but once he is given a chance, he will retaliate like crazy. He's smart and capable, and that's what my father sees in him."
"Actually, his background is not good, the emperor's grandfather went on a trip in a micro-suit and met a dusty woman, so he was born.
Later, the emperor's grandfather took their mother and son into the palace, but there was no special care. So the life of their mother and son in the harem is very difficult, no one looks down on them, all the princes squeeze him, and even his subordinates dare to bully them, giving them the food they have searched, and living in a cold palace is worse than that of the cold palace.
But instead of being negative, he studied hard, practiced kung fu well, and used all those who looked down on him as motivation to motivate him."
Chu Xia listened, and seemed to be able to feel Chu Cangmo's forbearance at that time, not growing up in despair, but perishing in despair. Chu Cangmo chose the first path because he was unwilling, and he wanted to change his fate.
The young man's voice continued, "It's still the crown prince's father who discovered his ability, and I feel that he is by no means a thing in the pool, but he just lacks a chance. Thinking of sibling affection, he also wanted to give him a chance.
That year, his father went to the northwest to quell the chaos and took away Chu Cangmo, the sixth prince who had no merits. He did not disappoint his father, 100,000 troops repelled 300,000 enemy troops, and in the chaos of the war, he saved his father's life regardless of his own safety.
Since then, his father has been very important to him, and he has finally occupied a place in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty by his own ability.
After his father ascended the throne, he was officially crowned king, and his authority was higher than that of any prince, and he became the real one person in Donghua Kingdom above ten thousand people. also solved a lot of troubles for his father, so that his father could sit on the throne with peace of mind.
Two years ago, my father's health was not good, because I was young, and the size of the court was naturally handed over to Chu Cangmo, and my father also named him regent."
After saying this, the young man was silent for a long time, Chu Xia didn't bother him, he felt the heaviness in his heart, but hugged him tighter.
"Actually, I always have
I admire Uncle Liuwang very much, his exploits are obvious to all, he doesn't rely on his background, and his own efforts are full of talent. Let those who disobey him and despise him bow their heads in shame.
But there's one thing we've all overlooked, and that's the viciousness. The reason why he tried so hard to prove himself was because he was dissatisfied with the status quo, because he was unwilling. He is unwilling to be looked down upon, so how can he be willing to be a mere prince? No matter how high the position is, after all, there is still a piece of heaven above us."
These are all things he has figured out in the days he has been on the run, Chu Cangmo's ambition has been there from the beginning, he gambled with his life, and he saved his father by gambling and forgetting his life, and his father would trust him 100%, and then he began to implement his plan step by step. said that he was helping his father remove obstacles, but in fact, he was secretly cultivating his own strength, and in the end, the real obstacle was only his father, so he began to do it.
"We are all mortals, and we can't predict the future, otherwise these things wouldn't have happened. Maybe everything is destined in a dream, and you are destined to have this fate. Remember this lesson, and don't trust anyone but yourself." It is really rare for this child to be able to think so thoroughly, and life is only to be understood by going through it.
"Can't anyone believe it?" What about you? He wanted to ask, but he didn't.
"You can't trust anyone 100% except yourself, and you have to have a little reservation, and for me, if you rely on someone wholeheartedly, and in the end you find that this person is not what you thought it would be, you will be disappointed." She said this to him because she was not from here, and Junbao believed that she could, but could not rely on her, otherwise what would he do when she left?
The boy's fingers clenched the corner of the quilt, and no one could believe it! No one can believe it! I've been chewing on this sentence over and over again in my heart. If there really isn't anyone in this world to be trusted, is he really a loner? Perhaps, it was destined from the moment his parents left him.
This night, the two of them had their own thoughts, never said a word again, and didn't know when they would fall asleep, but they just hugged their bodies tightly and never separated again.
The next day, Chu Xia went out of the inn to inquire, and suddenly there were many more officers and soldiers on the street, and the search became more tense.
Approaching the end of the year, there were children setting off firecrackers on the street, but they were slapped by the officers and soldiers who came on, and shouted fiercely: "The emperor has just died, who allowed you to set off firecrackers!"
With tears in his eyes, the child hid in the arms of the adult. The man's father bowed his head and apologized, saying that the child was ignorant, please bear with me. The official almost didn't compromise and had to take the child to prison, but later the child's father took out all the money on his body to settle it.
Everyone on the street was panicked, and they didn't dare to wander on the street for fear of causing unwarranted disasters. Those who were trapped in Anyang City and could not go home to reunite could only gather together to drink tea and sigh wordlessly.
Chu Xia didn't dare to stay any longer, so he hurriedly returned to the inn.
After talking to Jing Yuan about the situation, the two decided to calm down for a while and not rush to take risks.
Although such days are like years, they are also a rare peace.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, although it could not be lit up and firecrackers as in previous years, but every household also lived their Spring Festival in a low-key manner.
The guys at the inn were too busy to have no skills, and Chu Xia had to go to the kitchen by himself. The Chinese people traditionally eat dumplings during the New Year, and Chu Xia misses the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala when the family sat around a table and ate dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
Unexpectedly, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve will pass in this inexplicable dynasty, I wonder if there is also the New Year at this time of modern times? How did they get by?
Looking for a guy to ask for flour and ingredients for making dumplings, Chu Xia hurriedly moved things to their room.
"Junbao, come over and help, let's eat dumplings tonight."
Jing Yuan helped her put things on the table, but she didn't know what to do next? He's the crown prince, when did he do these things? He hadn't even been to the kitchen, the food he ate was all ready, and the buns were all finished products, so he mistakenly thought that these things were born like this?
"You make the dough, I'll make the dumplings
Son, we will work together, and we will be able to eat dumplings soon." Chu Xia assigned the task reasonably, pushed the agent in front of him after finishing it, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at the young man's clumsy appearance, and it was still difficult to hold a rolling pin and a big knife.
"It's not like that, look at me." As soon as she saw that the child had never worked, she had to demonstrate first.
Jing Yuan, this kid is also smart, coupled with a strong sense of competitiveness, and he has failed a few times and looks decent.
Chu Xia was very satisfied and began to work officially. Remembering that today is Chinese New Year's Eve, she and Junbao said that they should not think about anything for the time being, and have a good New Year, even if there is nothing, they must have a good New Year.
"Junbao, how did you celebrate the New Year before?" The first dumpling package came out not very satisfied, a little crooked.
"On Chinese New Year's Eve, my uncle would secretly take me out, and then go to the restaurant with a group of their good friends to sing poetry and drink to make fun. Then when I came back, it was often the middle of the night.
On the first day of the new year, I will have dinner with my father, queen and mother, and in the evening, a banquet will be held in the palace, inviting all the ministers of the court and their families, and there will also be singing and dancing to entertain the program, which is very lively." Jing Yuan forcibly endured the sadness in his heart and tried his best to be calm.
I don't want him to think of sad things, so I deliberately find a happy topic and say, "Do you have any color in your poetry? For example, how should anyone be punished if they lose?"
Sure enough, the young man's eyes lit up, as if he remembered something funny, "Yes, there are many kinds, we have to draw lots, whoever loses will be caught, some draw a turtle on the face, a little to pretend to be a woman, and some sing songs for everyone to hear."
