Chapter 9: Night Talk
It was already noon when Xiaohuan took Su Changnian to visit the princess's mansion, and Su Changnian stayed in the house to practice after lunch, and now it was night, and Su Changnian was wandering around the mansion after dinner.
Su Changnian walked in the house, and he didn't pay attention to the direction he was walking, just walking through randomly, he walked and walked, and he didn't know where he went, only to see a person sitting there in the pavilion in front of him. Before he could see who the man was, he heard the man in the pavilion speak.
"Since Master Su is here, why don't you come and sit down?"
Su Changnian heard that the people in the pavilion invited him to come over, so he took a step and walked in the direction of the pavilion, he walked into the pavilion and sat opposite the person, and it was Jiang Chaoyang who was sitting opposite him.
Jiang Chaoyang brought Su Changnian a cup of tea and put it in front of him, but Su Changnian hurriedly took it, and then took a sip.
Then Jiang Chaoyang opened his mouth first and asked, "It's so late, why hasn't Su Gongzi rested?" ”
Su Changnian said a little stiffly: "I slept long enough before, I couldn't sleep, I came out for a walk, and I just came out to familiarize myself with the familiar environment." ”
Su Changnian was inevitably a little uncomfortable because of the events of the day, and he didn't say anything.
And Jiang Chaoyang naturally didn't know what Su Changnian was thinking, just because he wasn't used to the new environment.
Then he said: "Then I hope that Su Gongzi can get familiar with the environment as soon as possible." ”
Su Changnian said: "That's nature. After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The two didn't know what to say for a while, so they remained silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
After a while, Jiang Chaoyang took the lead in breaking the embarrassing atmosphere and said to Su Changnian: "By the way, Childe, I apologized to you for Xiaohuan this morning, and I hope that Childe, you have a lot of adults, don't blame Xiaohuan, don't be familiar with her." ”
Su Changnian heard Jiang Chaoyang mention the morning's incident, his face was uncomfortable for a while, and he said with a dry smile: "It's okay, just kidding, I'm not so stingy yet." ”
Jiang Chaoyang smiled after hearing this, and said to Su Changnian: "Then I will thank Su Gongzi for Xiaohuan, Xiaohuan is the girl I picked up when I was a child, and I have followed me since I was a child, I regard her as a sister, and I am a little indulgent to him, so it is inevitable to be a little presumptuous in front of outsiders." ”
Su Changnian said after listening to Jiang Chaoyang's explanation. "You can see it."
Then he said: "It's not too early, if the princess has nothing to explain, I will go back and rest first, and the princess should rest early." With that, Su Changnian was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, Jiang Chaoyang stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Su Gongzi is slow."
Su Changnian stopped his half-up body, sat down again, and asked, "What does the princess command?" ”
Jiang Chaoyang said: "It's not an order, it's a request." ”
Su Changnian asked rhetorically, "Request?" What request? ”
Jiang Chaoyang said: "I told you about the current situation in Canglan Country before, and now Xuyang is at a disadvantage, I hope you can help Xuyang when necessary." ”
Su Changnian heard Jiang Chaoyang ask: "Why should I listen to you to help him, he has already used 'let me protect you' as a condition for repaying his kindness, and why should I promise you?" I don't owe you anything. ”
Su Changnian was right, he really didn't owe Jiang Chaoyang anything, although he had a good impression of Jiang Chaoyang, but he really wouldn't let him do it for her.
Jiang Chaoyang looked embarrassed and said: "I know, but if Xuyang is defeated, then I won't end well, so in order to protect me, you have to agree." ”
After listening to Jiang Chaoyang's explanation, Su Changnian said: "Then you can rest assured, when the time comes, I will directly take you to a place where no one knows you, let you live there, and no one will want to harm you there." ”
Jiang Chaoyang said firmly after listening to Su Changnian's words: "If Xuyang dies, I will not survive in the world, so even if you complete the agreement, I believe that you will feel guilty, and it will not be beneficial to believe in your future cultivation." ”
Su Changnian couldn't help but feel helpless after hearing Jiang Chaoyang say these words in a firm tone, and patted a few times with a fan in his right hand, and then said: "Forget it, I can't say you, just when I do good deeds and accumulate virtue, I will help him when necessary, but I won't always help him." ”
Jiang Chaoyang saw that he had finally agreed to his request, and a smug smile appeared on his face. And Su Changnian saw Jiang Chaoyang's smile and his heart throbbed, and he got up and was about to leave.
Jiang Chaoyang saw Su Changnian standing up and was about to leave, and said: "Don't worry, Master Su, I will naturally not treat you badly when the time comes, and remember to go with me tomorrow to ask for a signature." ”
Su Changnian listened to what Jiang Chaoyang said behind her back, raised the fan and waved it without looking back, and left.
After Su Changnian left, Jiang Xuyang also left, and Xiaohuan followed her and asked, "The princess smiled so happily, she must have talked to Su Gongzi?"
Jiang Chaoyang's face was full of smug smiles at this time, like a child who had succeeded in his prank.
"Well, it's done."
After hearing the princess's affirmative answer, Xiaohuan smiled and said, "I'll just say it, as long as the princess does what I say, she will definitely succeed, and now His Royal Highness the Third Prince's chances of winning have increased a lot." ”
And the princess also responded with a smile: "Yes, with the help of Master Su, this is a little more secure." As she spoke, the princess suddenly asked.
"But Xiaohuan, how can you be so sure that if you say this to Su Gongzi, you will definitely be able to get him to agree to our request?"
Xiaohuan didn't react for a while after hearing Jiang Chaoyang's question, and was stunned, and then replied: "Ah, that's the case, I talked a lot with Su Gongzi along the way today, and I think he is a warm-hearted and helpful person, so I think it will be successful." ”
Of course, this is not the case, but Xiaohuan can't just say that Su Changnian likes the princess, so he can only make up a reason to prevaricate.
When the princess heard Xiaohuan's answer, she looked at Xiaohuan suspiciously and asked, "Is this really the case?"
And Xiaohuan was stared at by the princess's eyes for a while, her eyes avoided the princess's gaze, and said: "Oh, Your Royal Highness Princess, Xiaohuan has followed you for so many years and followed you for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am?" ”
When the princess heard this, she said, "Well, then I will trust you for the time being." ”
Xiaohuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the princess no longer looked at her.
Then the princess said to herself, "But although she said that she would give him benefits, what good should she give him?" I don't think he should be able to look down on ordinary things, and I don't know if I have anything he wants here. ”
At this time, Xiaohuan hid a smile and said, "What Su Gongzi wants, you naturally have it." ”
The princess asked suspiciously, "Xiaohuan, do you know what he wants?" Tell me about it, I'll prepare in advance. ”
Xiaohuan still said dumbly: "I can't say this, you will know when the time comes." ”
Jiang Chaoyang saw that Xiaohuan insisted on not saying it, so he pretended to be angry and said: "Okay, you Xiaohuan, even I dare to tease now, don't hurry up and tell the truth." ”
Xiaohuan naturally knew that the princess was pretending to be angry, but she also pretended to be afraid and said: "Princess, I can't say this, if I do, Su Gongzi will be unhappy." ”
When the princess saw that Xiaohuan insisted on refusing to speak, she no longer pretended to be angry, and said helplessly: "That's it, I'll naturally know when the time comes, and I won't embarrass you." ”
Xiaohuan stuck out his tongue, and then replied obediently: "Thank you, princess." ”
The princess naturally knew Xiaohuan very well, and she didn't say anything.
And at this time, Su Changnian was here.
Su Changnian was already sitting cross-legged on the bed at this time and preparing to cultivate, but the words that Jiang Chaoyang had said to him in the hall earlier were still lingering in his ears.
Jiang Chaoyang's sentence "Naturally there are your benefits" entangled him, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
Young people's hearts are always easy to be touched, and a stunning beauty like Jiang Chaoyang tugs at his heartstrings all the time, making his heart restless.
Su Changnian kept thinking about it, and after a long time, he sighed, and silently recited the mantra in his heart, so that he could calm down and not think about these tedious things.
