Chapter 3 The Little Prince Climbing the Wall
"What are you looking for?" Cheng Zifei observed for a while and looked at his figure and momentum. His practice seemed to be similar to modern Qigong, but it was just more continuous. She sneered in her heart and did not answer the question.
"Is that the attitude when you see me?" Murong Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly. Today's Cheng Zifei is completely different from before. One person has been hidden for more than half a year, and it is impossible to suddenly be exposed without reservation. So why is she fearless now? Is it because Cheng Zibai is coming? If so, why did she hide in the royal palace for most of the year?
Murong Xiuyuan's brain flew repeatedly, but his face was still cold, which made people unable to see any clues.
Cheng Zifei ignored him and took the medicine bowl in Lan Xiang's hand and drank it clean in one breath. Lan Xiang quickly handed over the preserve, carefully collected the medicine bowl, stood on the side and dared not move, thinking slightly: the young lady seemed to have become bold since she woke up, and saw that the prince dared to look up and speak. However, today's prince is also strange. He didn't even look at the young lady before. Today, he actually talked to the young lady, although he seemed to be in a bad tone.
Murong Xiuyuan saw that she stood there calmly, and her posture was outstanding, far more beautiful than the usual side concubine, and his heart couldn't help softening a little. He has always disliked this princess, not because he thinks she is ugly, but he doesn't like her status as the daughter of the Cheng family. If you need the marriage of the Cheng family, why don't you hate this layer of restraint? Therefore, he has never looked at the princess, and has never looked at her carefully since the worship.
Today, when I saw her natural romantic charm, I believed Cheng Laopi's sentence: "I married your best daughter to you." It's just that her attitude makes him very unhappy! It's more annoying than pretending to be timid and shy!
But thinking that Cheng Zibai was coming and wanted to see this sister by name, Murong Xiuyuan waved his sleeves coldly: "Your eldest brother will come to the house in a few days. Be well prepared and don't fall in the face of my palace! Remember that you are now from the King of Qi Mansion. You should be able to distinguish clearly what to say and what not to say!"
"No thank you for reminding me!" Cheng Zifei thought he was soft-hearted to see "Cheng Zifei", but she didn't expect to just warn her not to talk nonsense! What a ruthless man, Cheng Zifei's deep affection for him couldn't help sarcasing him coldly.
Murong Xiuyuan's eyebrows tightened and wanted to resist the attack. He turned around and left the hospital. When he arrived at the door of the hospital, he turned around and said coldly to Lanxiang, "Take good care of the princess these days. If anything happens to the princess, you are the only one to ask!"
Lan Xiang knelt on the ground in horror and nodded repeatedly.
After stopping for a long time, seeing that Murong Ming did not follow up, Murong Xiu couldn't help but get angry and shouted, "Minger! What are you doing here?"
Murong Ming was not afraid of him. He ran over with a hippie smile, pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, "Uncle Wang, there is nothing interesting in your house. I have seen everything left and right. I won't go to the front yard with you today. I'll stay with my aunt for a while.
"Aun aunt?"
Murong Xiuyuan and Cheng Zifei were black at the same time. Murong Xiu shouted impatiently, "If you don't practice studying well, why do you stay in a woman's yard? Come back with me!"
Cheng Zifei thought helplessly in her heart: She was only 18 years old and had such a big nephew. It was really cold. She called herself old!
Murong Ming looked at his uncle's black face and was not moved at all. He still said with a smile, "Uncle Wang must have something to do. You'd better go quickly. My aunt and I won't disturb you!"
Murong Xiu was so angry that he wanted to scold him, but some servants in the house really came to him. It was his bodyguard Jiang Jia. Jiang Jia flew over here and said something softly in his ear. Murong Xiuyuan raised his eyebrows and turned his head to glance coldly at Cheng Zifei and Murong Ming: "Ming'er is here. Don't mess around!" After saying that, he hurried away with Jiang Jia.
As soon as they left, Murong Ming immediately rushed to Cheng Zifei: "Aunuch, let's compare again!"
Cheng Zifei did not raise her eyelids. She gently turned around and raised her legs. Murong Ming immediately fell into the flower garden a few meters away.
Oh, such a three-legged kitten makes her win. Cheng Zifei shook her head and turned directly into the room without looking at Murong Ming, who was screaming.
Murong Ming lay on the flower and cried for a long time. Seeing that Cheng Zifei ignored him, even the little maid followed the room. He got up involutably and followed Lan Xiang into suffocation.
In the room, Cheng Zifei was sitting on the noble concubine's chair and closed her eyes to refresh her mind. Murong Ming came up with a smile: "Aunuch, can you teach me martial arts? As long as you teach me martial arts, I will definitely find someone to cure your throat. What do you think?
Cheng Zifei is too lazy to take care of this kind of little child. She was born in the palace. This kind of child is spoiled. How can she bear the pain of practicing? However, she didn't drive him away. Lan Xiang has been the only one who has woken up these days. Although she has been used to dark and quiet days in her previous life, she will always feel a little lonely in this different world. It's good to keep this little boy nagging here, even if it adds a human atmosphere to the yard, right?
Seeing that she neither agreed nor objected, Murong Ming took a step forward, grabbed her skirt and shook her, "Aunuch, just teach me!" I'm so sad that no one is willing to really teach me in the palace and no one really plays with me. As long as you teach me to defeat the boy of the Simon family, I won't ask to defeat Uncle Wang!"
Cheng Zifei still didn't say anything. Murong Ming turned his eyes, looked around the house, and then said, "Auncle, I think you are also very simple here. It can be seen that Uncle Wang doesn't love you. If you teach me martial arts, I will not only promise to heal your voice, but also honor you in every solar term. There are many treasures in my palace. Also, you can see that you are not free here. Uncle Wang doesn't love you, and you can't go out. If you teach me martial arts, I can often take you to the palace to play.
"Freedom?" This is what Cheng Zifei cares most about. In her previous life, she believed the officer's words for the sake of freedom and was cheated into the case in the United States. As a result, she was regarded as a political victim. In this life, she fell on Cheng Zibi. Although she has no freedom.
It's not that she can't leave alone, but she doesn't want to act or cause trouble for the Cheng family before she figure out her own situation. It's not that she is soft-hearted. In her previous life, she was an orphan and has always longed for the warmth of home. It is rare to have parents and brothers and sisters in this life. Although she has never been masked, the thought of having a home will bring a trace of warmth in her heart.
But this royal palace obviously can't be regarded as her home, because Murong Xiuyuan didn't treat her as his wife at all, and no one regarded her as a princess, so why should she take care of this "family"?
"If you want me to teach you martial arts, you can. But if you want to worship me as a teacher, you have to listen to me in everything in the future. You have to do whatever I ask you to do honestly. Cheng Zifei thought for a moment and opened her eyes. That's what is said in the novels of previous life, right? There are rules for entering the teacher, so it's okay for her to accept an apprentice, and maybe it will bring convenience to her in the future.
Ah? OK!" Murong Ming suddenly heard her answer, first stunned, then overjoyed, and immediately agreed, shaking her skirt more happily: "Does aunt want me to call you master? Still called aunt, but the etiquette of worshiping teachers? Auntie, don't worry, the etiquette of kings, ministers and students in heaven is the most important! Even if my aunt doesn't say it, as long as my aunt teaches me martial arts, I will be filial to my aunt and serve her with the courtesy of a master!"
"Good." Cheng Zifei couldn't help frowning when she saw his excited smiling face. Can the child who grew up in the greenhouse really stand her cruel training? But since he asked for it himself, he can't blame himself. She sat in her real body and waved to Lanxiang: "Go get a cushion for the little prince and bring some incense by the way."
Lan Xiang answered and went out. Concubine Cheng asked Murong Ming again, "I don't know what other ceremony you need to worship a teacher here, but since you want to worship me as a teacher, you have to follow my rules. Can you do it?"
"Can!" Murong Ming immediately answered loudly and looked at Cheng Zifei with bright eyes: "Aunuch, what will I call you in the future?"
"Well, don't call me aunt." Cheng Zifei frowned. Murong Xiuyuan disdained her, and she had no intention of Murong Xiuyuan and would come from where she was going to leave. This "aun aunt" was not a real name. However, it seems that she seems to be very old. Thinking that Cheng Zifei is only 15 years old, Cheng Zifei said coldly, "In the future, you can call her 'auncle' in front of people. You just need to call her sister, but remember that I am your master in your heart!"
Murong Ming nodded repeatedly: "Yes, master and sister! That sister can call me Ming'er in the future. Father, mother and Uncle Wang all call me that.
"Good." Cheng Zifei touched his head and couldn't help curling the corners of her mouth slightly. The previous life was so dark and lonely that she was no longer good at laughing. But the sincerity of this child still makes her feel warm. Is this the first relative she recognizes in this life?
Lanxiang came in with a cushion and sandalwood. Murong Ming knelt down respectfully, bowed nine times and worshipped incense to God, and made a lot of salutes. Cheng Zifei was surprised. It turned out that the worship ceremony of the ancients was so grand that respect teachers seemed to be the same here, but I don't know if it is also governed by Confucianism here? So far, she hasn't figured out what kind of era it is. To what extent has civilization developed?
But with Minger in the future, everything will have an answer. This time, Cheng Zifei really smiled.
Murong Ming looked up for the last time and saw the gentle smile on Cheng Zifei's face. The smiling face suddenly shook his eyes and imprinted into his heart. Until many years later, after changes, he still remembers the gentleness of Cheng Zifei at the beginning. Because of that smile, he chose to stand behind Cheng Zifei and support everything about her.
