Chu Miaoer blinked her clear eyes, as if it took her a long time to react. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open because of the surprise, and her red lips were slightly opened, with a hint of coquettishness in her surprise.
"So it's you!" Then she asked him with moist pink lips, "Then why don't you be nice to me? I'm your savior after all."
"Do you think I'm not good to you?" Fu Yunqi laughed, the smile gradually spread in his eyes, and there was a long-lost joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Chu Miaoer shook his head first, then nodded, and then said softly: "It wasn't good at first."
The night was extremely quiet. The bright moon was passing through the clouds, and its faint moonlight spread all around, casting the reflections of the branches into the lake.
"When I first found out that my mother was going to give Chu Xianxue to me, I was actually very glad that you weren't the princess." Fu Yunchi raised the corners of his lips and spoke in a more relaxed tone, "Because in my private heart, I don't want you to be the princess of the court."
A victim of the power struggle, but you also know that the Duke of Chu has regarded me as his enemy since then. He would never let your precious sister marry me, so he asked the imperial brother to help mediate it. I went to tell my mother the same day when I knew that,
But the imperial edict has been issued, and it is not convenient for the Queen Mother to change it. As for why the Queen Mother would agree to replace Chu Xianxue with you, I still don’t understand."
"Well," Murong Feng thought for a while, "it may be because you are already 'notorious' and you have Wan Niang by your side. If you marry into the palace, you will not be favored and will not be favored, so the Queen Mother does not want to give up the third daughter of the Kingdom of Jin.
A beautiful woman will marry you.
"You call this 'preconceived idea'. The Queen Mother and Chu Xianxue don't have much contact," Fu Yun expected her to say quietly, "Your statement is more suitable for Mr. Chu. Over the years, many people have tried to stop him.
When a woman entered the Fourth Prince's Mansion, I happened to take the opportunity to let Wan Niang live in the Prince's Mansion, and I just happened to be able to stop everyone from talking about it. The news that "the Fourth Prince is not interested in women, but only loves Wan Niang" spread like wildfire, even in the palace.
My mother and I all believed it, but the more realistic they told it, the better, and it saved me a lot of trouble. What the outside world speculated was just what they wanted, so I will be like them. Otherwise, do you think why I haven’t gotten married in so many years?
?”
"When I first entered the palace, you must have been secretly doubting me, right?" Chu Miao'er raised her eyebrows slightly, smiled slightly, and had two faint dimples at the corners of her mouth, looking cunning and playful, "Doubt me
Is he a spy sent by the Chu government?"
After listening to what he just said, I thought back to Fu Yunqi's indifference to me when I first got married. At that time, I just felt that the farther away he was from me, the better. It was best not to see him every night. I can analyze it based on my current state of mind.
, it was clearly Fu Yunqi's defensiveness against him that made him so cold and ruthless.
"We conducted an investigation before you entered the mansion. However, the people in both mansions are not close to you, and we didn't get any useful information." Fu Yunchi raised his lips and smiled lightly, with a very light smile. "It's complicated in the court, so you have to be careful."
For the best, Miaomiao, please don’t hold grudges.”
Since he has already investigated himself, he should know that he and Chu Miao'er are two completely different people. Chu Miao'er looked at him with uncertainty in his tone: "Don't you think that I am very different from before?
?”
After hearing this, Fu Yunqi was stunned. The information he got clearly stated that since she fell into the water, she had become more generous and decent. It could even be said that she had become indestructible. She could no longer see the shadow of her former submissiveness and timidity.
And logically speaking, you should be afraid of water after you slip and fall into the water, but she was not afraid at all when she was at Yunwu Villa. "Compared with before, Miaomiao has indeed changed a lot, from a little girl who only knew how to cry to someone who can
I am now on my own, but even if Miaomiao likes to cry, I also like it." After saying that, he went up to her and kissed her.
Chu Miaoer was caught off guard and kissed her, her cheeks were slightly red, showing a kind of charm that made people endlessly reverie. She looked at her and smiled lightly: "You are completely different from what I heard.
, everything you say about being cold and ruthless, not being close to women is all fake, your smooth tongue is almost as good as that of my second brother."
"Haha——" Perhaps because of drinking, Fu Yunqi couldn't restrain his joy. He raised his face and laughed. His laughter was hearty and hearty. He stopped for a long time, looked back and said, "I'll play a piece of music for you."
Chu Miao'er nodded, holding her chin and looking at him tenderly, with a crooked smile on her face.
Taking the flute in his hand, the bright moonlight poured on his body, as if covered with a layer of white frost and snow. He lifted the jade flute to his lips and slowly blew out the clear sound. The sound of the flute was pathos and lingering, like catkins in the breeze,
It's remote, tranquil, and pleasant to the ears and heart.
Chu Miaoer slept until noon before slowly waking up. When she came back last night, the sky had turned white. She saw with empty eyes that it was raining lightly outside the window, so she fell back again holding the brocade quilt. She rolled over on the bed several times and woke up again.
I really couldn't sleep, so I finally decided to get up.
Baitao, who had been guarding the outer room for a long time, heard the commotion and went in. He smiled and helped Chu Miaoer to the bronze mirror, and washed her carefully.
"The prince has returned to his residence and is waiting for the princess to have lunch in the study." Baitao said with a smile.
Smelling the familiar fragrance of flowers, Chu Miaoer turned her head to look for it, and saw the flower basket on the table. There were red moons and some dewdrops in it. She thought they had been picked early in the morning, and her heart moved.
Seeing the princess tilting her head to look at the flower basket, Baitao smiled secretly. Now that the prince is becoming more and more interested in the princess, the old lady who is under the influence no longer has to worry.
Chu Miao'er looked at herself in the bronze mirror with a thin layer of pearl powder, gelatin point paint, and pink lips. Bai Tao perfectly covered the fatigue under her eyes with makeup. Chu Miao'er was very satisfied with her craftsmanship.
of.
After changing into a light yellow gauze skirt, Chu Miaoer walked towards the study. After passing through the rain corridor, she saw him sitting in the pavilion outside the study reading.
He was wearing a moon-white robe, a jade crown on his head, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings. When he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, he looked as gentle as jade. His fair complexion set off his pink lips, making him extremely charming. Chu Miaoer pursed her lips and smiled, and walked towards him.
Hearing her faint footsteps, Sima Rui raised his head to see her, immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up with a smile and went to meet her: "Wake up, I have people prepare meals, are you hungry?"
Chu Miao'er shook her head gently and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry yet. Maybe it's because I haven't had enough wine last night. Why am I so happy today, sitting and reading a book."
"It's a chess book. I just found it and read it." Fu Yunqi pointed to the book beside him and said, "I'm a little hungry. Let's go have a meal first. You didn't eat much last night and you slept until now.
Wake up, no matter what, you have to eat more."
Chu Miaoer glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a yellowed chess book, so he ignored it, nodded and followed him into the hall.
"Miss Yang received another letter this morning. I saw you were sleeping deeply, so I read it for you." Fu Yunchi said casually after finishing a bowl of porridge.
Could it be that this Yang Jinxi came to ask her again if she had anything ready to welcome her? Chu Miaoer smiled, nodded and said, "What does the letter say?"
"I didn't say anything," Fu Yunchi served her another bowl of hot porridge before continuing, "He just said that he had set off yesterday and asked me to find more delicious and fun things so that she could meet the people of Kyoto.
It’s prosperous, so I can go back to Xiling and carry it forward.”
"This Miss Yang San is really a good businessman," Chu Miao'er stopped and thought for a moment, then suggested, "How about we take her to Chunyan Tower when the time comes?"
Fu Yunchi put down his spoon, raised his eyebrows and asked with a malicious smile: "Do you want to go?"
"Well -" Chu Miao'er responded softly. She suddenly woke up when she looked up and saw the smile in his eyes. She pretended to be angry and said, "Where are you thinking? I just think that Miss Yang will be happy with her in Xiling."
The building is so well run that I want to show her what the first floor in Kyoto looks like. Besides, I always hear you talk about how glorious and grand Chunyan Building is. I can’t go in there myself, nor can I find anyone else to take me there.
, now that Miss Yang is here, I will definitely seize this opportunity to have a look."
Hearing this, Fu Yunchi didn't say anything, but just nodded and promised her to take her to Chunyan Tower to see Yang Jinxi when she arrived.
The letter said that Miss Yang Jinxi and Yang San, who had set off yesterday, were riding in a carriage in the direction of Kyoto. It seems that she was also ambitious. She only took a maid and a groom with her when the carriage started.
When they reached the intersection of Xiling and Kyoto, they were stopped.
The horse roared, its head raised, and the carriage came to an abrupt stop. The carriage jolted violently. Yang Jinxi suddenly woke up from her sleep and vaguely heard the conversation outside.
"If I keep the money, I can save your life!"
The groom's weak voice came, intermittent, and he was obviously frightened out of his body.
"Zhuang, please show mercy to a strong man, we are just passing by——"
"So much nonsense!" The man shouted in a rough voice, which sounded like a mountain bandit, "Who is in the car?!"
"Mighty man, man, spare your life, there is no one in the car, there is no one in the car, there is no one in the car -"
Yang Jinxi was still in shock. Although she took over the Yang family from her father and had never seen any monsters or monsters, this was the first time she encountered a real sword. She was a little girl after all, so she couldn't help but feel frightened. The maid Lu Yun beside her
She kept crying and crying, which made her upset.
"Don't make a sound!" She scolded in a low voice, frowning and obviously frightened but still trying to stay calm.
She carefully opened the bamboo curtain and looked at the official road where the carriage was driving. Unexpectedly, there were gangsters blocking the road in Langlang Qiankun. It seemed that Kyoto did not want to be so prosperous and peaceful. Here in the woods, the gangsters appeared at this time, and the road was temporarily blocked.
I was afraid that no one would pass by for a while, so I could only hope that the groom could hold on a little longer.
"Strong man, this is my money, please accept it, please——"
Listening to the groom kneeling and begging for mercy outside, begging him to let go of the people in the car, Yang Jinxi couldn't bear it and decided to get out of the car. As soon as she got up, she was tightly held by Lu Yun.
"Miss."
Yang Jinxi raised her eyes and saw that Lu Yun's lips were trembling with fear. She forced a smile to comfort her and said, "If I don't get out, the coachman will not survive today. Just stay silent in the car." After that, he opened the door.
From the car curtain, one could see at a glance that the man was one foot eight tall. No wonder he was called "Strong Man".
Yang Jinxi's heart suddenly sank, but she still chuckled calmly and said: "This strong man, does this pocket have enough money?"
