Chenxiang was stunned, her heart was exposed, and she was so ashamed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into. But the side hall of this Zichen Palace is paved with blue bricks and stones neatly, how can there be a hiding place for her?

She turned her back to Won-hee like this, and she was embarrassed to turn her face around.

After a stalemate for a long time, she felt that her shoulder had been tapped twice, and when she turned her head, Won-hee was already beside her.

"Judging by your reaction, could it be that I said it?" Wonxi smiled.

Seeing Yuanxi looking at herself, Chen Xiang was a little ashamed, thinking that she was a dignified princess of Chu, how could she be so thick-skinned? If she said to let go, she just let go, how could she still have that nerd in her heart? But God was deliberately playing tricks on her, so that she couldn't forget it no matter what, and as soon as she closed her eyes at night, the scene of the abandoned palace appeared-Wei Chengyong fell from the sky, scared Zhao Shu away, and saved her life.

She had been pleased with him ever since, but there was no place for her in his heart. People don't love you, you can stay away from it, and always stick it on your stomach. It's just an ordinary woman, but she is a princess, and she really lost Da Chu's face.

Chen Xiang naturally didn't dare to admit it: "No, how could it be?" I would have put it down a long time ago. ”

Yuan Xi didn't force her, but smiled indifferently: "It's good if you don't have it, the emperor and I are still worried about you, and now I am relieved to have your words." Since there is no him in his heart, Wei Chengyong's life or death has nothing to do with the princess. Okay, the princess should go back and rest. ”

"Wait!"

Before Yuan Xi's front feet stepped out of the threshold of the side hall, the voice of Chen Xiang came from behind him.

Yuan Xi turned around with a smile: "Is there anything else the princess has to do?"

Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed and at a loss: "Imperial sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, except for the queen mother, I am the only one who can tell the truth." If I'm telling you the truth, don't laugh at me. ”

Yuan Xi looked at her gently, this stupid girl, do you still need her to tell the truth? A few looks, a few expressions have already betrayed her cleanly. Won-hee turned around and closed the door and sat down at the table.

Chen Xiang stared at her, slowly lowered her head, and twisted a handkerchief in her hand uneasily: "Imperial sister-in-law, in fact, you have already seen it, haven't you?"

Yuan Xi stared at her and deliberately asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Xiang was a little embarrassed: "Imperial sister-in-law, you are so bad, you can clearly see it, but you want me to say it." If you want me to say, how ashamed am I?"

Chen Xiang said, laughing at herself, in fact, she had already been embarrassed and thrown home for the sake of becoming mediocre.

"That's it, I'm losing my face anyway, do you care a little more?" she waved her hand: "Imperial sister-in-law, I can't let him go, I thought about it before, and I don't care about him anymore in this life, but today...... When Ling'er came to beg me today, he said that Cheng Yong's heart couldn't let go of me, so I was tempted again. ”

As she spoke, she grabbed Yuan Xi's hand with one hand and said, "Imperial sister-in-law, you say that I am like this, are you very unreserved and uneducated? Actually, I don't know why I became the way I am today, I hate myself a little bit." ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "Actually, the princess has not changed, you are still the same as before, dare to love and hate." The reason why you are like this is just because you love Cheng Yong too much, and you have a person in your heart, and you have an extra weakness from then on. If there is really a person who is wrong, it is Cheng Yong, not a princess. ”

Chen Xiang was just about to defend Cheng Yong, but Yuan Xi said again: "Actually, this time I want Cheng Yong to fall off the list, not just to be angry with the princess, but also to maintain the royal face." Cheng Yong and Lan Yu's matter, even if there are thousands of grievances and thousands of innocences, he shouldn't sprinkle all his anger on the princess. This is a great disrespect to the royal family. The princess did not pursue it, firstly, because the princess loved him, and secondly, because the princess was generous. But this matter, after all, is Cheng Yong's fault. A mistake is a mistake, no one does not make mistakes, and no one can escape responsibility. He hurt the princess and deserves to be punished. ”

Chen Xiang frowned: "However, the punishment of cutting off his future is too cruel, and I am afraid that he will not be able to withstand it." ”

"When he said such hurtful things to the princess, did he ever wonder if the princess could stand it?"

Chen Xiang was silent, in fact, every time she thought of what Cheng Yong said to herself, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved in her heart, but every time she thought of the life-saving grace in the waste palace, she couldn't help but forget.

"Imperial sister-in-law, the matter has passed, you should give me a face and spare him this time. ”

Yuan Xi shook his head: "No." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law......" Chen Xiang squeezed at her.

Yuan Xi still shook his head coldly: "Princess, this is a matter of royal face, not for the princess alone." ”

"Imperial sister-in-law, if you really cut off his future, his temper, I'm afraid he will really go to a dead end!"

As she spoke, she got up and knelt down at Yuanxi: "Imperial sister-in-law, you have always been lenient, but why are you so strict with Cheng Yong? Xiang'er knows that the imperial sister-in-law is to protect my reputation, but after all, Cheng Yong has studied hard for so many years, and his hard work is not clear to the imperial sister-in-law? Please, imperial sister-in-law, you should treat it as a way to defend the family and give Cheng Yong a chance to reform himself." ”

Yuan Xi leaned down to help Chenxiang, but Chenxiang knelt and refused to get up: "Imperial sister-in-law, I beg you, you just let the imperial brother give him a chance." ”

"Xiang'er! Have you ever thought that if Cheng Yong is among the top three, how will the world think of you? The world will think that you are a woman who has been abandoned by him, a girl who has been abandoned, do you still want to marry in a beautiful way? This basin of dirty water cannot be washed away by pouring all the water of the Yellow River. ”

Chenxiang grabbed Won-hee's skirt and cried.

"I know, it's me who is so useless, I'm a shame for Da Chu, I'm a shame for the royal family. Imperial sister-in-law, I beg you, you persuade the imperial brother to give Cheng Yong a chance, he is a rare student, and his talent will definitely not be worse than those young masters and masters in the palace. Chen Xiang stood up resolutely and stubbornly wiped away the tears on her cheeks: "Imperial sister-in-law, as long as you can promise me and give Cheng Yong a chance, I promise you that I will never let Da Chu be embarrassed, I have a way." ”

Yuan Xi stared at her and said, "What can you do?"

Chen Xiang raised her eyes and looked at Yuan Xi, turned to a nanmu pillar in the side hall: "There is a way, as long as I die." ”

As she spoke, her whole body ran towards the pillar like a gust of wind. Won-hee hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed her clothes, and pulled back hard. Chenxiang couldn't stand on her feet and fell on her back on Won-hee.

Youyuanxi gave her a cushion, Chenxiang didn't fall and hurt, and hurriedly got up to help Yuanxi: "Imperial sister-in-law, are you okay?" Imperial sister-in-law ......" she said, hugged Yuanxi and cried: "Imperial sister-in-law, you just let me die, I will only disgrace Da Chu and cause trouble to the imperial brother." ”

Yuan Xi also hugged Chen Xiang and touched her hair: "Silly girl, why are you so impulsive? Why is it so bad that you have to die?"

Miyaka sobbed and looked up.

"Fool, as soon as you spoke, I understood, I just wanted to test you to see if there was still a place in your heart. ”

Chenxiang helped Yuan Xi up, and he was still aggrieved like a child, standing aside and sniffling.

"Originally, I didn't want to force you together again, but God can't break up the hard-working mandarin ducks, they are a couple after all. Yuan Xi patted her on the shoulder: "The emperor said that the chief examiner* is a dead brain, even if the emperor personally decrees, he will never let Cheng Yong fall off the list for no reason, unless Cheng Yong himself is not well educated." ”

"Huh?" Chen Xiang's eyes widened, and the kitten wiped the tears from her face as if she was washing her face: "That means that Cheng Yong actually still has a chance to participate in the imperial examination?"

Yuan Xi nodded, and said gently: "Are you relieved now?"

Chen Xiang smiled and was a little shy, and said, "Since you know, sister-in-law, why do you want to test me, how ashamed am I?"

Yuan Xi helped Chen Xiang's shoulder and said, "Xiang'er, I see that this time, Cheng Yong is really awake, and I also sent someone to check in his study, do you know what is on his bookcase?"

Chen Xiang was curious, her eyes lit up, but she was embarrassed to admit it, so she only said: "I can guess what he is doing, it's just some things like the four treasures of the study." ”

Yuan Xi gently stroked Chenxiang's sideburns: "It was the incense pool you gave him back then." I heard people say that Cheng Yong asked people to change the spices every day, you know, there is no fire in Cheng Yong's study all the year round, and he can do this, which shows the princess's position in his heart. ”

Chenxiang pursed her lips and forced a smile on the corner of her lips.

"Really, maybe it's just for fun?"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Also, the subordinates found a square inkstone and a piece of broken jade from the paper basket in his study. ”

"He smashed that square inkstone?" Gong Xiang looked at Yuan Xi in surprise: "Back then, he said that he had no relationship with me (Yuan), and he deliberately gave it to me." What's going on now?"

"My Fair Lady, good gentleman. Why did he smash it, doesn't the princess understand?"

Chen Xiang lowered her head, her face was red like a begonia crisp that had just come out of the pot: "He, how can he ......?"

"Xiang'er, the prodigal son will not change his money, I know that Cheng Yong has hurt you, but he can wake up now, it is by no means just talking. I understand Cheng Yong's character, if he recognizes something, he will never look back, he is like this for the imperial examination, and he is the same for the princess. Yuan Xi looked at Gong Xiang and was a little melancholy: "Even if Cheng Yong is stubborn, he is still a righteous gentleman in the end, if he has the heart to pursue the princess, he will not have distracting thoughts like other princes." Actually, I tested the princess today, just to see the princess's attitude, if the princess really let him go, no matter how sincere Cheng Yong is, I will not mention this to the princess. But now it seems that the princess's heart still hasn't really let go of him. ”

Chenxiang's heart was also a little heavy, and he stroked Yuanxi's hand and said: "Imperial sister-in-law, I really like Cheng Yong, if Cheng Yong also has me in his heart, I am still willing to be with him." ”
