Chapter 10: The Mysterious and Ancient Family
In the study of King Ling's Mansion
The faint fragrance of tea rises from the warm cup, blended with the faint ink fragrance in the study, and it smells refreshing and refreshing.
Zhao Ling's study is located directly north of the palace, a little far away from the garden, which is exactly the case, but it is extraordinarily quiet and quiet.
In front of the door of the study, the huge banyan tree elegantly stretches the dense branches and leaves, like layers of canopy spreading, when the spring breeze blows, the emerald green leaves collide and rub against each other, making a rustling sound.
As one of the most favored princes of the dynasty, the furnishings in Zhao Ling's study are much simpler, the three-sided book wall is full of all kinds of military books and some e-fun miscellaneous notes, and the four treasures of the study room on the dark Nanmu desk are neat and tidy, and the only slightly obtrusive thing is a sword stand placed behind the desk.
A black sword rests quietly on the sword stand, the scabbard is depicted with the fire totem of the Great Wei royal family, the sword is not unsheathed, but you can feel the slaughter from the quiet sword, you can imagine how much blood this sword has been stained with, and how many lives have been ended.
When you see all this, you will remember that the man who sat quietly in a chair and sipping tea was not as calm and graceful as he seemed on the surface, he had entered the battlefield as a teenager, and he had a silver-robed horse that shuttled through hellish slaughter like a meteor.
This man covered his sharp teeth and minions with a brocade robe, and hid his ambition with his unique royal dignity; Such a man, like a tiger who is pretending to sleep, is both dangerous and secretly tricks people who are not familiar with the world to want to approach.
When Zhao Xi pushed the door in, he happened to see his third brother tasting tea in a graceful manner, as if the person who almost tripped over Chu Xingyue's 'husband' was not him.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xi couldn't help but purse his lips and snicker, and looked at the past again and again with stealing and joking.
Zhao Ling didn't need to look back to guess the expression on Zhao Xi's face at this moment, pressed the strange feeling that rose in his heart, and put down the teacup pinched in his fingertips elegantly, slowly.
"Yesterday, this king received a letterhead from General Huwei, which said that the barbarians in the southwest region have been active frequently recently, Lao Qi, you have followed me all the year round, and you are most envious of me for being able to quickly raise the horse and whip and cross the battlefield, how about it? Are you interested in visiting the Southwest? ”
Zhao Xi was like a mouse who only stole sesame oil, and when he suddenly heard the words of the fourth brother, he immediately wilted, and came to Zhao Ling bitterly, showing pity, and begging: "Fourth brother, I was wrong, I will never dare to laugh at you in the future." ”
Zhao Ling glanced at his favorite younger brother lightly: "You can't do anything for me, what's the use of raising you by your side." ”
"That's not it, fourth brother, you showed your own feet." Saying that, Zhao Xi picked up his clothes and sat opposite Zhao Ling: "I don't know where the third sister-in-law got her magical powers, she used to be deceived by me like a fool, but I didn't expect to be so smart after being injured once, and it was just a matter of peeking through my disguise, and I actually guessed the location where the fourth brother was hiding at that time." ”
After a pause, Zhao Xi stretched his neck in front of Zhao Ling, and looked profound: "Fourth brother, are you sure you have hidden it?" Didn't be discovered by the third sister-in-law in advance? ”
This is also where Zhao Ling suspects, after Chu Bingyue left the Flying Feather Courtyard, he secretly followed all the way, and then carefully hid in the rockery; He asked himself, with his ability, he wanted to find a place to hide himself, even if it was his father's royal army, he might not be able to find it, let alone a weak woman?
But if it weren't for him inadvertently exposing his horse's feet for Chu Bingyue to notice, how could he explain everything that was happening in front of him?
Zhao Xi threw the problem to Zhao Ling, and he grabbed a handful of snacks on the table casually and ate them with a satisfied face, and said without a word.
"The third sister-in-law knows where the third brother is hiding without going back, and that determined look is like having eyes on the back of her head, as long as she is willing to look, no one can escape her discerning eyes."
Zhao Ling's fingertips on the teacup tightened, and he looked at Zhao Xi with a serious look: "Old Seven, you repeat what you just said." ”
"Say what? said that the third sister-in-law has a pair of magical eyes, and you don't have to look back to guess where the third brother is hiding? Zhao Xi smiled heartlessly: "Cut!" Do you believe this kind of thing, third brother? If that's the case, wouldn't the third sister-in-law become a monster. ”
She's certainly not a youkai, but probably a descendant of that mysterious family.
I thought that those rumors were made up casually, but I didn't expect some things to be true.
Chu Bingyue, Chu Bingyue, you are really surprising.
However, he still needs to test a thing or two before he is completely sure, thinking of this, Zhao Ling bent his fingers and knocked on the table, and the sound of tapping on the table sounded in the quiet study.
……
Chun Xing helped Chu Xingyue all the way in the direction of Feiyu Courtyard, the little girl couldn't hold back in her heart, and everything she thought in her head was shown on her face.
Chu Xingyue came out and walked around for such a while, and her mood obviously changed a lot, and she glanced sideways at Chunxing, who looked curious and worried, and smiled.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, look at your bitter and hateful appearance, those who don't know still think I'm bullying you."
Chunxing showed remorse on her face, and immediately ran to her in front of her and knelt on the ground solidly: "Miss, they are all slaves and maids who are stupid, and they treat Prince Xi as a good person, and they almost delayed Miss, if it weren't for Miss's discernment, I'm afraid that the slaves and maids would have been blinded by him; The slave knows her mistake, please punish the young lady. ”
Chu Xingyue immediately felt distressed when she saw the sincere attitude of admitting her mistakes in this intimate little padded jacket, and hurriedly reached out to help Chun Xing up, and counted her down: "The most annoying thing about you ancient people who kneel down and admit their mistakes at every turn, have you really done anything wrong?" ”
Chunxing's eyes were teary: "Miss ......"
"Okay, okay, you, don't I know yet?" Chu Xingyue looked at Chun Xing with a smile: "You will tell you everything for my good, Zhao Xi's little kid looks like a bad belly, relying on his harmlessness to people and animals, he swaggers and cheats everywhere, and it is normal for us to deceive him before." ”
"Then why did the young lady discover the true face of King Xi this time?"
Chu Xingyue choked, her eyes were a little dodgy, she couldn't tell the truth at this time, tell Chun Xing that she had a pair of eyes comparable to the eyes of the sky.
If she hadn't inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Ling hiding behind the rockery, I'm afraid she would have been deceived by Zhao Xi continued.
Chu Xingyue smiled wryly and patted Chunxing's arm: "If you think about it, even if Zhao Xi is loved by Zhao Ling again, he is also a man, so he casually enters and exits the inner courtyard of King Ling's mansion and contacts the ladies in the courtyard, don't you think it's very abrupt?" The only explanation is that Zhao Xi acquiesced to this. ”
Chun Xing has a simple temperament, and immediately believed Chu Xingyue's words without reservation, revealing a suddenly realized expression: "It's still Miss Smart, that Prince Xi is really not a good thing, it's a shame that the slave maid was so good to him before, I didn't expect to dare to harm Miss like this; After seeing the slave and maid, I saw him, and I didn't take care of him. ”
Saying that, Chunxing began to pull her sleeves, as if she wanted to go out to fight with others.
Chu Xingyue was not surprised that Chun Xing had such a reaction, after all, he was a person who came out of Jingbei Houfu, and his personality was free and eclectic, and his likes and dislikes were even more manifested on his face.
Just looking at Chunxing's behavior, it is not difficult to see that Jingbei Houfu in Qingzhou must be different, this Longtan Tiger's Den in Beijing, it must be a place of happiness and revenge, simple and free.
In the future, if she can leave Zhao Ling's side, it is okay to go to Qingzhou to find relatives with this body to take her in temporarily.
"It's just Miss, we have completely offended the Lord of Fuqing, what should we do?"
Chun Xing began to worry again: "That Fuqing County Lord is not easy to mess with, we have suffered losses at her hands many times before." ”
After Chunxing's reminder, Chu Xingyue remembered that there was still that Li Fuqing eyeing her.
"Even though Li Fuqing was born in the Zhenguo Mansion and was named the county lord, but the princess's background is not bad, why can she stand on my head and on her toes?"
"Miss, can't you remember? Although Li Fuqing is just a county lord, he has been raised in the queen's palace since he was a child, and he is comparable to the specifications of a princess in terms of food, clothing and wear. ”
"Oh? She grew up in the palace? Why? ”
"The specific slave maid didn't know, but I knew that Li Fuqing's biological mother and the queen of the dynasty were handkerchiefs, and the biological mother of the Fuqing county lord had a difficult birth when she gave birth to her, and she suffered a lot to give birth to the baby safely, but unfortunately she collapsed later, and she went at a young age; The queen took pity on the county lord for not having a poor mother, so she begged the emperor to give her the title of county lord, and then carried her into the palace and raised her until she was five years old, and grew up with the princes and princesses; It is precisely because of the queen's support that the character of the lord of Fuqing will be arrogant, although many people don't like her, but because of the face of the queen and the prince of Zhenguo, they will tolerate her for three points. ”
Chu Xingyue finally understood: "No wonder she can be so intimate with Zhao Ling and Zhao Xi, and even call them brother directly." ”
"No, she's often complacent about it." Chunxing's face showed disdain.
"The queen let her grow up in the palace since she was a child, that is to pity her in the face of her biological mother, she is good, she doesn't understand this hard work and shows off everywhere, sooner or later one day she will cause trouble."
Although it is very unauthentic to say this, Chu Xingyue also feels that with the personality of the county lord of Fuqing, she will definitely suffer a big loss in the future, and she also has a hunch that this big loss is likely to be given to her by herself.
Thinking of this, Chu Xingyue couldn't help but tremble, although she was not afraid of Li Fuqing, but now she didn't have much thought to * this crooked little pepper.
The top priority is for her to find a way to get out of King Ling's Mansion, as for Li Fuqing, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to trouble her, she won't provoke her, but if that girl is a bad beater, she won't swallow her anger either.
Is the county lord amazing? Spell dad? - The old lady is tough enough!
