Zhu Rong's face instantly turned white, she quickly staggered her eyes from meeting Chu Hongzhen's and covered her face with her hands.
Only Cheng Xiaoxiao knew what Zhu Rong was doing, presumably he couldn't cry so he had to pretend.
It's hard to be a woman, and it's even harder to be the Emperor's woman.
Everything inside the house finally settled down, and Cheng Xiaoxiao climbed down from the roof in the dark.
She was so cold and stiff now that her whole body didn't feel like her own.
I don't know what time it is. Chu Hongyi wouldn't still be waiting for me, would he?
It's like I promised him I'd be home early and have cake with him.
Cheng Xiaoxiao rubbed her aching shoulders, and the more she thought in her heart, the more uneasy she became.
When she took off her disguise, she immediately scattered back.
Back to the Fairview Palace do not know what time it is, anyway, outside the temple is quiet, only the small eunuchs guardi
These treasures might not be anything new to the others present, but Cheng Xiaoxia didn't think so ah!Who would have a problem with money, why not be happy with a free reward.Hearing Chu Hongzhen say that there was a reward, Chu Yunshen also only saluted and thanked with a pale face, not seeing any joy at all.In addition to Chu Yunshen, the other emperors naturally had them as well.Inquiring about the status of several of the royals was supposed to be the norm, just as it had been at that celebration long ago.Oh, there's an exception here too.That was the eighth prince, Chu Jingxiao, who was supposed to be the protagonist, but now had no presence at all."Fuse child a few days ago is still not done? I've heard from the people below, it's still important to hurry na."Chu Hongzhen looked extremely natural, even a little too natural.It was because of this that Chu Jingxiao's face, which was already somewhat gloomy, appeared
Cheng Xiaoxiao stared at Chu Jingxiao somewhat speechlessly, watching the situation develop in a twisted direction.Chu Jingxiao coldly began to pour wine again, and did not sneer at Chu Yunshen as he did at the beginning of the family banquet, but instead glanced at Chu Yunshen contemptuously, and then drank the wine in the cup in one go.Wow, you've been drinking so hard, you really won't get much later?Cheng Xiaoxiao watched Chu Jingxiao's wine glass empty and then renewed, and so on several times, until Chu Jingxiao's eyes were a little reddened his movements only slowed down.Chu Jingxiao then glared at his reddened eyes and stretched his neck to look at Chu Hongzhen who was still talking and laughing.The next second before the crowd could react, there was a 'clang' sound, and the wine glass in Chu Jingxiao's hand was thrown to the ground.The wine cups were reduced to pieces in an instant, and the ear-piercing sound once again drew all the
The next thing that made Cheng Xiaoxiao even angrier happened, Chu Jingxiao took a step forward and stepped on the strawberry that had just rolled over, and the strawberry instantly split into pieces and turned into a puddle of red juice."Father, now that it has come to this, do you think that my son can still sit back in his former position as if nothing has happened?"Chu Jingxiao's sword was slowly gesticulating in front of his eyes, and a bloodthirsty smile curled out of the corner of his mouth."Everyone in the world knows that Father trusts General Fuyuan."Chu Jingxiao was still surveying his sword, his attention seemed to be all on the sword in his own hands, and he didn't care that all those imperial guards just now ran through to Chu Hongzhen's side to intentionally protect Chu Hongzhen."So what if it is? What are you talking about? Why don't you just back off!"Chu Hongzhen replied impatiently, not letting the imperial guards disperse
Cheng Xiaoxia wanted to come over and ask!She always had a premonition that Chu Yunshen seemed to be different from the rest of them mere mortals, he should have understood something that only he could know.Next time, it would be better to pretend to be Chu Yunshen's little palace maid, so as not to have to take care of Chu Hongyi, this big fool, when he was by his side.Blah blah blah! What were you thinking!Also next time!God damn next time!This kind of thing, something like this, don't ever come up again okay!Cheng Xiaoxiao frantically apologized and confessed in her heart, apologizing for the mistake she had just made with a slip of the tongue.Chu Hongzhen on the temple originally trembling arms suddenly let go, he disheveled to sit down, Zhu Rong finally failed to pull him and he fell together on the cushion.Together with the knocked over there are those wine cups and wine pots, the sound of the big shock Cheng Xiaox
The corner of Chu Jingxiao's forehead was smashed red, his face was sideways due to inertia, and the broken hair in front of his forehead, which was already drooping down, was a bit more than just now.Those shreds of hair vaguely blocked his eyes from view.Chu Jingxiao did not move for a long time, and waited until everyone thought that he was going to kneel down and apologize, but he violently flew up and kicked Zhu Rong, who was still kneeling in front of him.Zhu Rong received this kick solidly, and her entire body flew out and fell to Chu Ye Lin's table and crashed on the table."Crap!"Cheng Xiaoxia directly exploded in foul language when she couldn't hold back.Almost in the next second, she did not hesitate to run towards Zhu Rong's side, but in turn, she was tugged by the hem of Chu Hongyi's coat."Don't go."Chu Hongyi reminded Cheng Xiaoxiao with an airy voice and signaled Chu Yunshen to hurry up and persuade.Without
Chu Jingxiao didn't say anything, looking like he had acquiesced to Chu Hongzhen's question.Seeing this reaction from Chu Jingshuo, Noble Consort Zhao looked like she was eager to try.It looked like she wanted to go and say something on behalf of Chu Jingshuo, but she just couldn't find a suitable opportunity for a while."Do you think that if I can know in advance that you will rebel, and have Wu Zhang cooperate with you to play along with the scene, won't I make other preparations?"Chu Jingxiao raised his head violently and looked at Chu Hongzhen with wide eyes.He stared dead at Chu Hongzhen's mouth, clearly not wanting to hear Chu Hongzhen's next words.But whether Chu Jingxiao wanted to hear it or not, Chu Hongzhen still slowly opened his mouth,"Have you not noticed that my secret guards have not appeared today until now? Do you want to guess where they went?"After Chu Hongzhen reminded him like this, the sword in Chu Jingxia
Zhao Guifei turned her body to look up lovingly at Chu Jingxiao, Chu Jingxiao was still standing on her side, between the light and shadow, she couldn't really see Chu Jingxiao's expression."That's why my concubine had to plan for her own child, had to plan for the future of both us, mother and child."Noble Consort Zhao's voice softened a lot, and from her eyes it was clear that this time she was truly moved.I really didn't think that Zhao Guifei had been so arrogant for so many years, but now she was actually willing to bow her head and take the blame for her own son.Cheng Xiaoxiao somewhat unforgivingly averted her eyes and went to stare at Chu Jingxiao's face.Chu Jingxiao did not have any expression on his face, it was reasonable to say that he should be touched by the fact that Noble Consort Zhao had taken the blame for him.Even without that, it's kind of appropriate for him to feel snickering inside himself, right?How can he say
Cheng Xiaoxiao heard that it was now flip-flopped to this sentence, and now inevitably felt a bit tasteless.It is what Chu Jingxiao said just now about the imperial study, it sounds like an evidence, but Chu Jingxiao didn't say it clearly.Cheng Xiaoxiao's question Chu Jingxiao quickly helped her answer, and for good reason Chu Jingxiao went back to get the soft sword he had just dropped to the ground,"If it weren't for the assassins that my son has helped XIV block over the years, how many lives do you think XIV would have to face on his own, Father?"What the hell? Why is the assassin going to kill Chu Hongyi again?What's going on here?Cheng Xiaoxiao just wanted to listen to Chu Jingxiao continue explaining, but he found that Chu Jingxiao had already raised his sword and was gesturing something, and while he was gesturing, he was reciting words in his mouth,"As Father's favorite son, the most likely candidate to become the Crown Princ
As it turns out, a trick can lose its effectiveness after a while.The lion cat's eyes were blinking painfully, and the corners of his eyes were nearly cramped, but Chu Yunshen still had that impassive look, not even moving his eyebrows.Okay, you're tough! I say you're tough, and not a flabby earwig!The lion cat suddenly froze in his tracks, a mist rising quickly from his heterochromatic eyes.The watery eyes looked like oceans of water, and this transformation managed to scare Chu Yunshen's eyes.Chu Yunshen reached out his hand to hug the lion cat, but was stopped by the helpless expression on the lion cat's stubbornly tilted little face.A light coughing sound ended and the man's somewhat dry voice rang out:"To the Returning Sun Desert, it's windy and sandy out there."It's windy and sandy. - So?Can't you see I've got a cramp in my eye? I'm having a hard time!Cheng Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Chu Yunshen was tal
Yun Shen, what do you think about this matter?The lion cat cheered for Chu Yunshen while frantically questioning him with his eyes.What's he doing here again? You're Chu, why don't you do something?"Why don't I go to the meeting?"Mu Bai, the chatterbox, couldn't help himself, he raised his eyebrows, squinted those peach blossom eyes with interest, and said to the blackbird outside the window:"It's strange though, seeing as how it's been following us for some time now, it didn't make a move on me just now."As he spoke, he suddenly revealed an evil smile to Chu Yunshen: "It's rather like those wild bees and butterflies that chased you back then, following you over and doing nothing, but it's indeed endless."That was more than enough to make the lion cat's eyes light up.She carefully sized up Mu Bai once more, and after realizing that the other party did not look like she was joking, she jerked her head up to look at Chu Yunshen a
The lion cat looked wan and hid in Chu Yunshen's arms reflecting on her flow, not understanding just how outstanding her beauty was to be able to make even a bird so moved.Such a relentless pursuit, I'm afraid that the love is so deep that I can't even let go. Really make people head big, is not only can blame Cheng Xiaoxiao this damn charm.Blame her. Blame her for being overly beautiful.Shaking her head helplessly was just futile, Cheng Xiaoxiao still needed to give some feedback to this kind of 'avid suitor', or else if she went more and more overboard later on and did other excessive things, wouldn't it be an irresponsible behavior for everyone.Said Cheng Xiaoxiao herself was touched, she almost believed that what she had just thought was true.It's not like they don't want to go head-to-head again, at least not right now, and not want to get into any more trouble.Songtao's injuries are still not healed, Cheng Xiaoxiao herself has only jus
Every year the whole capital half of the people will come to the show, it is said that one year even the long-lasting master Chu Hongzhen have come out to see the final field in private clothes.If this token was really useful, then did this group of people intend to let him participate in the Poetry Festival?The more Ren Yanlai thought about it, the more he felt that this was more likely.After all, it wasn't as if he hadn't thought of this method before, and as long as he won the Poetry Conference at the Wangjing Teahouse in one fell swoop, he would surely be a sensation in the capital.When that time comes when everyone in the capital knows about it, he won't need to go around looking for people to line up scrolls everywhere.Only this idea was later dismissed by him, and the reason was also very simple, he did not even have the money to attend the tea house poetry party.The entry fee for the Wangjing Teahouse could not be taken on credit and
Later on, she was able to react a bit more and needed to organize her head, which was why she sized up Chu Yunshen and refused to go over.It wasn't until Chu Yunshen approached her that she smelled that all too familiar grassy fragrance.A person's olfactory memory tends to be more immediate and deeper than other memories.Only in that moment emotions swept over her like a tidal wave, all the memories of Chu Yunshen and all the things she had crossed over surrounded her quickly.Including the voice she heard in the nothingness, she also reacted to the fact that the person was Chu Yunshen.At that moment Cheng Xiaoxiao only thought of getting close to Chu Yunshen immediately, so she couldn't help but reveal her lion cat nature.Carelessness is carelessness.The lion cat that was lying in Chu Yunshen's arms again still felt slightly humiliated, she rubbed her burning face with her paws and was a little embarrassed to look up at Chu Yunshen.
The black bird snapped its head up, tilted its head back to open its beak wide, and gave a hawkish cry to the sky.This time, the eagle's cry was different from the two sounds that Chu Yunshen had just heard, originally, as long as the black bird cried, the lion cat would tremble and then enter into a state of response to the enemy.However, this did not have any effect on Chu Yunshen, he just felt it was a bit jarring to his ears.Now it's different.As soon as the black bird's voice came out, the lion cat was again in the same fried state it was in just now, and Chu Yunshen and the others covered their ears with it.Chu Yunshen couldn't spare his hands as he hugged the lion cat, and his reaction was indeed smaller.He held the lion cat in one hand, while gazing at his breath and pressing the tip of his tongue dead center against his palate. From his tense facial expression, one could tell that he would be in a state where he wouldn't dare to rel
If you ask Cheng Xiaoxia if she's happy eating now, she also thinks it's quite okay.It was just that she always felt that her back was hairy, as if a camera had been installed and someone was always watching her and Chu Yunshen.This time Cheng Xiaoxiao's intuition really didn't go wrong, not only this time, but yesterday's rain her sudden freeze was also not an illusion.The cause of it all was now stretching its wings on that bough, and it hopped and jumped from one branch to the other, looking no different from the little bird that had been squawking.However, nothing is as it seems.If it was really that bland, then Cheng Xiaoxiao wouldn't have reacted so strongly.The bowl of milky paste dwindled, and the lion cat's consciousness drifted away again.The black bird on the boughs of the tree had stopped hopping at some point, and it paid unseeing attention to that direction of the lion cat, with a strange glint in its eyes and a hint of
Songtao did things neatly, plus this was the first time Ren Yanlai had eaten and drunk enough in days and slept well, so this series of actions did not wake him up.Not only that, Ren Yanlai did not even change the sleeping position, only to maintain that side lying position until the dawn descends.As soon as dawn broke outside the broken temple, the light outside brightened up a little.The heavy rain had stopped at some point, and an unknown bird made a twittering sound on the dead tree outside the broken temple, which sounded quite cheerful, but was quickly replaced by a wail, and the original leaping instantly came to an abrupt end.Fixed his eyes to see, is that has been making noise of the bird was a black bird hard peck, scared feathers trembling, fluttering wings hurriedly flew away, the joyful bird call also naturally disappeared.The blackbird cast another oblique glance at the other birds lingering on the boughs of the tree, and wondered how
The danfeng eyes were even darker, and the eyes that looked at Ren Yanlai did not have the same indifference as a moment ago, Chu Yunshen's face was expressionless as he opened his mouth at the right time, "Xiaoxiao, you can't sit for a long time after eating, get up and move around.""Since when did we have this extra rule in our house?"Cheng Xiaoxiao was a bit bewildered, tilting her head to carefully survey Chu Yunshen, until she looked Chu Yunshen to the point of being uncomfortable she didn't withdraw her eyes.Let's just say that Chu Yunshen was out of sorts tonight, earlier she was being gentle with Ren Yanlai and now she was making demands on her.Just now I was allowed to have an extra bowl of soup, but now I'm being so harsh."All the time."When he heard Cheng Xiaoxiao's soft voice say the words 'our family', Chu Yunshen's heart jumped uncontrollably, and his danfeng eyes rose slightly with it.However, he still said those words
