Chapter 46 Chess Player
Youya Pavilion
Unlike the silence of the past, there is more solemnity in the air at this time, especially the elegant room.
"Oh, according to what Miss Cheng said, it turns out that we outsiders think too much?"
"It's everyone who raised the poem. Marriage has been led by parents since ancient times. Poetry is blessed, and my mother died early. Only my father has been raising me painstakingly. I dare not forget this kindness. I believe that my father's choice is the destination of poetry. A moving and reasonable explanation, modest and not rude, coupled with the beauty's slightly watery eyes, no one can bear to force her to ask.
The eyelashes trembled slightly. Qi Jingxun looked at the woman opposite, and the corners of his mouth still maintained the slightly raised curvature. He took the teacup to his lips. On the tea surface, the man's face was reflected, but the smile had become a little strange.
Cheng Shishi? Interesting! Did she think he didn't hear the meaning of those words clearly? On the surface, you are a lady who cares about etiquette, and you are well virtuous. "Parents are the masters"? It seems that you are also hidden. Know your daughter Mo Ruo's father, can't you see what you are thinking? In addition, he has been so close to Qi Che recently. I'm afraid that if there is really any "father's life", the final choice is Qi Che.
Now you have pushed it all, not only showing your innocence, but also controlling the results in your own hands. Such a mind is no different than that of the concubine in the palace!
Thinking like this, I became more and more determined to win her in. Well, in this plan, it is better for a smart person to be a fool, and in this plan, she is not without benefits. If she succeeds, it will be a win-win result, and she will get what she wants. In this case, will she still be unmoved?
When his thoughts returned, he put down the tea cup and said with a little regret, "Really? It's a pity."
"What's a pity?"
Fish on the hook! A deep note floated through the bottom of his eyes. Then he said, "Miss Cheng doesn't know that my seventh brother has long been 'famous', and there are many confidants he has made." At this point, he stopped deliberately to see the fish's reaction.
"It is also common for the seventh prince to be talented and win the hearts of many young ladies." I can't hear the emotion.
"That's right. Among many women, he keeps a distance from each of them, except..." He looked at the woman's expression in a timely manner and continued, "Except for the second lady of the Xi Mansion, he really hasn't paid such attention to other women. Therefore, our brothers are guessing that there should be a seven imperial concubine from the two of you in the future. This is definitely the best. Miss Cheng, please don't ask any more.
A boulder was thrown into the calm lake, and the huge waves caused Cheng Shishi to calm down for a long time. However, on the surface, she still did not show anything.
Cheng Shishi did not see Qi Jingxun's difficult eyes. At this time, she only cared about her head hanging, and when she looked up, she could not see anything unusual.
Qi Jingxun wanted to see even a little jealousy or other expression on Cheng Shishi's face many times, but he was going to be disappointed. Her face was elegant and calm and perfect.
The perfect curvature of the corners of her mouth finally turned into a squint, and her eyes darkened: her city is very deep. It seems that I really underestimated her before.
At this time, Cheng Shishi said, "Miss Xi is proud and natural. She can't compare with other women. Shishi is ashamed. Even Miss Shi's phoenix hair is rare, and she believes that she can't compare at all. Shishi is ashamed." He smiled at Qi Jingxun, and the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the meaning was also a little unclear. "If it is true as Your Highness just said, the poem can only say that God's will is like this. Poetry is a female stream, and she can only obey her orders.
"What Miss Cheng said is reasonable, but compared with Xi Xinmiao, I think Miss Cheng is more suitable for the position of the seven imperial concubines." Qi Jingxun finally seemed a little urgent. Once the matter exceeded his expectations, he just wanted to pull it back into his control as soon as possible, but he didn't know that in this way, he would only give up his favorable position to the other party?
Is such a seeker suitable to complete the grand goal of an emperor's hegemony? He is finally penetrated too deeply by the royal dogma. The prince's aura is a double-edged sword, which will not only give you noble glory, but also erode the wavering heart.
Let you get used to the obedience of others and the orders to others, because under the dazzling ring of "future crown prince", others can only obey his demands and orders. He is used to this "natural", he has been used to it for a long time, and he can't change it no matter how he changes it.
Therefore, a deep-rooted king complex does not allow Cheng Shishi's "out of control".
But in this way, can he know that the current situation has actually been changed?
Cheng Shishi has always been not simple. She still can't see that she is a fool for the purpose of Qi Jingxun. But at this moment, she is not in a hurry to find out.
Pick up the teacup and take a sip, slightly lift the corners of your lips, stand up, and look at the man who doesn't say a word on the opposite side. "It's getting late, and the minister won't disturb your Highness's elegance. The minister will leave."
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and left.
In contrast, the man in the seat looked at the bamboo curtain that was still swinging because the woman was lifted, and his eyes were already deep. He thought he could take advantage of this to encircle her, but he thought he had misread her weakness: Qi Che was her love disaster, but Xi Xinmiao was her thorn, an unhappiness. But why...
The teacup in my hand seems to have a crack.
"Your Highness, do you want to--" A man appeared ghostly outside the curtain and asked carefully.
"No. A small poem, this hall still doesn't pay attention to it. As long as her weakness has not changed and always exists, she will never be able to fight against me. The original plan remains unchanged and will be implemented as planned. The low approach is mixed with the unique majesty and domineering spirit of the royal family.
He knows very well that a person with weaknesses will never go for a long time. Without her, he can still complete his hegemony with his own ability!
"Yes."
The man made a bow and retreated again.
And Qi Jingxun will never know that when Cheng Shishi left with his back, the spring breeze-like smile on her face had long been lost? And the silk handkerchief hidden in the sleeve has also been twisted and almost torn...
A contest, a gathering of people's hearts, finally ended in that cold tea, no success or failure, no result, no disease.
It's just that after this encounter, I'm afraid there's still something to start. Everything will become no longer simple...
..................
Fuji Inn at the same time.
In a few months, the fried dumplings here are still so nostalgic and friendly. Of course, Xi Xinmiao, who pays the most attention to food in daily life, will not let go of the treasure of delicious food and gossip. Early in the morning, he sneaked out of the "routine business".
After serving my five internal organs, I only feel refreshed and powerful. The power of food is so great.
As the saying goes, "Walk after dinner and live to ninety-nine." Such a comfortable slow pace has always been admired by Xi Xinmiao. Well, she has practiced it by words and by words.
Walking leisurely in the bustling crowd, his eyes are lazy and carefree. Look at this and that, it's so happy!
--My lady, in fact, you can keep a higher profile...
She left for three months and came back again. There seemed to be no change in the capital. But she knew that this peaceful prosperity was only superficial. As for the deep... I'm afraid those people are already ready to move.
It seemed that her return had nothing to gain, but it caused a big trouble: Qi Jingxun stared at her, and Concubine Li gritted her teeth at herself, and she didn't know how many times she had been greeted by that woman behind her back.
Her son is even more annoying. To be honest, even Xi Xinmiao doesn't know how to position Qi Che. Enemy? It doesn't seem to be so; friend? That's even more difficult to talk about.
Because I saved his life because of the last incident of the suckling pigeon, the relationship was even more entangled. It's not that Xi Xinmiao insists on occupying the position of "lifesaving benefactor". For her, it's like farting. If she does it, it will be gone. Who will be serious with a fart? And Xi Xinmiao doesn't have that energy.
Accidental saving people is purely by the way. She is just dedicated to revenge for the pigeon. It's just that the rescued person took it seriously and promised himself that he owed him a favor. Oh, if you owe it, just owe it. Anyway, she doesn't suffer losses. She is pretentious! In this case, let's call it a "familiar stranger". Hey, such an unclear relationship makes her go crazy.
Except for the above three people, Cheng Shishi is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Looking up to the sky and sighing: What kind of world is this? What kind of life does she live? Who did she provoke? Why should she "enjoy" the treatment of being assassinated and framed?
Everyone said, "The hateful man must have something to be pitiful." She said, it should be understood in the other way, that is, "The poor man must have something to hate."
Isn't Cheng Shishi the perfect interpreter of this sentence? Such a silly love for Qi Che, a look back for the lover, it's really "extraorious". Unfortunately, this "confort" is not used in the place, which actually pissed her off. Who do you want to provoke her? The dog jumps over the wall when she is anxious. Of course, she won't compare herself to that cute little animal...
Cheng Shishi's behavior, Xi Xinmiao's pity, can also be hated. Although she has never experienced love, and she does not intend to experience it, love should not be achieved in this way. In this case, it's too pathetic and self-loving.
In fact, these people are still in the light. What bothers her most is the unknown controllers hidden in the dark. This is what she really needs to guard against.
