————————————————————————————
Nangong Bingyu followed Chu Tiancheng out of the house. The pain in her arm made her frown slightly, but she did not say anything. Who said that a woman's heart is an undersea needle, and the man's mind is also difficult to guess.
She doesn't remember that she provoked him. Besides, even if she is the former imperial concubine, she is his royal sister-in-law. It's really a loss to drag her out regardless of the occasion.
But looking at his tight face, she still watched it change.
The two got into the carriage, and Nangong Bingyu's hand was free. While gently rubbing his arms, he leaned against the soft couch, waiting for Chu Tiancheng to vent his inexplicable anger.
After a long time, Chu Tiancheng just sat quietly without saying a word, with a pair of quiet star eyes stargazing out of the window. The cold and arrogant handsome face is no longer cloudy, but he can't see what he is thinking. Nangong Bingyu also frowned slightly. Today's Chu Tiancheng is very different.
The carriage drove slowly in the quiet night, and the horses' hoofs stepped on the stone road, kicking and rattling. The two people in the carriage were relatively speechless.
For a long time, Chu Tiancheng broke the tranquility of this room with a low and magnetic voice: "Bingyu, do you really not love your brother?" He didn't know why he asked her these questions, but he just wanted to know what she thought.
At dinner, her calm appearance angered him, but why? He hopes that she really doesn't like the royal brother?!
Doesn't he like drizzle?
Nangong Bingyu, why does he become less like him in front of her!
His sudden question made Nangong Bingyu a little stunned. Chu Tianxiao was indeed a gentle and elegant emperor. He sighed faintly and looked up at Chu Tiancheng, who was still looking out of the window. Nangong Bingyu asked, "Your Majesty, how are you doing?"
"It's not very good, so Ling Concubine invited the so-called magic doctor in the world for the emperor and said that she wanted to see a doctor for the emperor, but the emperor has also been a little energetic recently."
"What about Shangguanyue?"
Chu Tiancheng sighed: "I heard that she applied with the little prince Chu Heng herself. Oh, no, it's time to call King Heng now. She went to the fiefdom with King Heng, and that place was also the place pointed out by the Empress Dowager, the Ice City. Although he was in the court, he was also far away from the fights in the harem. Although he knew that Shangguan Yue was in a difficult situation, he was not the royal brother after all and was not qualified to ask the royal brother about the harem.
Nangong Bingyu sighed that Yueer would leave the imperial city. It seemed that she still wanted to save the life of the little prince Chu Heng, but in her current situation, even if she had the intention to help, she could not be too blatant. After thinking about it, Nangong Bingyu said, "Your Majesty, is it drizzling in your house?"
Her words made Chu Tiancheng blush again. "Yes, she is in my house. Don't worry, I was going to find you drunk, and then once I return to Beijing, I will prepare for our marriage."
Marriage?!
Sure enough, as domineering as the emperor, Nangong Bingyu did not care about him, but said word by word, "The marriage needs to be done, but I have something to say."
"What's the matter?"
"Beware of concubines! If the drizzle returns to the royal palace with you, then I hope she can not have anything to do with anyone in the palace. You know, the drizzle is a very simple woman and has an impulsive temper. It is also her own fate that she can meet you. If you want to get married, I won't stop it. Don't worry. Well, I will bless you. In addition, please attend my wedding banquet before you leave.
Ah? Do you want to get married?!"
Chu Tiancheng was shocked. God, who will tell him that this is all his hallucinations.
"Only when I get married can I give myself a new identity. That's the best."
"No! You can't get married!"
Nangong Bingyu was very curious. Why was Chu Tiancheng so surprised when she got married? She was so crazy that she couldn't get married. What a plane? If he falls in love with her, it doesn't seem to make sense. If he doesn't love her, why is he so stubborn in this matter?
"Why can't we get married?"
Why? Chu Tiancheng couldn't answer for a moment. All he knew was that he would often think of her, miss her indifferent smile, miss her lazy and casual amorous feelings, and more importantly, she was his royal sister-in-law.
Finally, his answer turned into three words: "No!"
Nangong Bingyu said nothing. There is no emotional element between them at all. Do they want to be entangled in this issue forever? Crossing into this body, she has always lived according to the life she wants. If the royal family doesn't provoke her, she must also live freely now. Why bother to get entangled with the Chu family?
After thinking for a moment, Nangong Bingyu said, "Well, let's open our talk tonight. I'll tell you why I want to marry." Nangong Bingyu knew that he might not understand when she said it. After all, this is very different from the thoughts of this era, but today, she wants to tell him.
ying Chu Tiancheng's waiting eyes, Nangong Bingyu said seriously, "Love to me is a part of life. No, I indulge in mountains and rivers, come and go freely, have, I cherish fate and stay together, but that person needs to know me, understand me, love me, and pity me. In his world, we have our own sky, but we can hold hands and soar together. There is no need to cover the wind and rain, just follow the wind and rain. However, in this world, only two people can be accommodated. And the person who married me may not understand me and know me, but I know that he will love me and pity me. So, I'm willing to marry him."
After that, the carriage fell into silence again. Nangong Bingyu no longer looked at him and gently leaned back to the soft couch. What she wanted to say was over, and it was not her who should think about it next. Chu Tiancheng looked at Nangong Bingyu with a complicated face. For a long time, he said bitterly, "Don't worry, I will go when you get married."
Not bad, Chu Tiancheng is still very talkative.
"There is another point that the emperor is not bad, but his excellence does not belong to me alone." Nangong Bingyu shook her head gently: "And my heart can only be given to one." She can't control how many he wants to marry, but his heart knows that she can only give one person.
They looked at each other for a long time until the carriage slowly stopped, and Guan Junjie's voice came from outside the car: "Miss, here we are."
Nangong Bingyu withdrew her sight and was not talking or looking at him. She got up and crossed him and got out of the carriage. Chu Tiancheng did not hold him, but when she was about to step into a drunken dream, she shouted in a low voice: "Nanggong Bingyu."
This is the first time that Chu Tiancheng called her name like this. Nangong Bingyu did not look back and still turned her back on him, but just stopped.
Chu Tiancheng's firm voice came from behind: "I wish you happiness!" After saying that, Chu Tiancheng's steady footsteps disappeared into the night.
Tonight's moonlight is not bright, but it is enough to lengthen the thin figure of Nangong Bingyu. She gently raised the corners of her lips and walked into the house.
Although it's not too late, there is no one walking in the drunken dream. On the winding path, there are a few small lights, which can barely illuminate the road ahead.
Nangong Bingyu walked slowly along the path, and Guan Junjie behind him followed him far away without saying anything.
The simple smell of grass in the air is also fascinating. Halfway through, Nangong Bingyu stopped, stepped on the neat and soft grass by the roadside, pillowed her arms, and lay down casually. Looking up at the night sky, the moon tonight is unknown, and there are few stars. The sky has no dark blue brilliance, and it seems to be worth appreciating.
Nangong Bingyu gently closed her eyes, and the autumn wind cooled down, making her dark hair move. How long has it been since she listened to these customs! Tonight, her heart seems to be a little restless.
I don't know how long she has been lying, but she just doesn't want to open her eyes.
The current starry sky is much brighter than before, but the bright moon is still unknown.
............
The next day, the sun shines high.
Autumn days are very suitable for going out. Nangong Bingyu did not take a carriage and took Guan Junjie. The two of them followed the slate paved path to enjoy the customs of Jicheng's ancient streets and alleys.
Unlike the bustling and spacious main street, there are no gorgeous street pavements, no noisy teahouses and taverns, some are bungalows built by stone bricks and blue tile towers, and snack tea stalls sold along the street.
Nangong Bingyu likes to Wander in such alleys, which uses its simplicity to tell the ancient culture and stories of Jicheng.
Nangong Bingyu walked all the way, rubbing her swollen temples all the way. She thought she was about to catch a cold. Last night, she was greedy for the cool autumn wind, and finally fell asleep on the grass. If it hadn't been for Guan Junjie to wake her up, I guess she would have had more than a headache now.
Bypassing the Qingshi alley, behind is the riverside across the capital. The river is not wide and the river is not urgent. It is a place for many literati and tourists to swim, so every day, the river is moored with gorgeous, atmospheric, or elegant paintings and boats.
The cool river wind slowly blew, which relieved Nangong Bingyu's slightly painful head. The purpose of her going out today was not only to travel through the famous streets and alleys of Jicheng, but also to see where to choose the new silver shop. She looked through the map of Jicheng and was interested in two parties. She also wanted to see the specific location. Let's see what kind of environment there is and how much silver is needed for the advance.
The largest shop in Jicheng is on the riverside.
On both sides of the riverside, there is a green bamboo planted, passing through a small bamboo forest, and there are several wide bungalows.
Nangong Bingyu looked at the door hall. She was satisfied. The door was open to the front of the river. At the lintel, the wooden plaque was painted with the words Jicheng Restaurant.
Entering the inner room, there are several mahogany carved tables and chairs. Going in, there is a huge green pine screen, which is an open restaurant.
She came today to see the environment, so she is not going to show her identity.
When I went out, I chose an indiro cloth gown, tied up with a hair towel and hairband of the same color on my head, with a slightly thin slender figure, with a gentle and indifferent smile, and a beautiful and elegant scholar.
The child who was serving next to him greeted him and said modestly, "Son, do you want to eat or taste tea?"
Nanggong Bingyu arched his hand and smiled slightly, "Take the meal."
"Faun, please go to the attic." The child returned the gift, walk in front of him and lead the way in front of him.
