Second marriage to the regent

Chapter 44 Can you take me with you?

When Xia Shi saw it was Su Junxi, he immediately whispered in Shen Zhien's ear: "Princess, this is Mrs. Jing'an Hou."

After listening to Xia Shi's introduction, Shen Zhien glanced at Su Junxi with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "What is your intention of showing up in front of the prince's carriage as a woman?"

"Come to find my brother." Su Junxi told the truth.

"Why are you here looking for your brother? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Shen Zhien felt that he was being treated as a fool. If he didn't look for his brother in his carriage, what would he look for in a carriage that he didn't want to do?
Su Junxi saw that the little princess in front of her was not unreasonable, and she was willing to express a perfunctory smile on her face. She said coldly: "Where I am going has nothing to do with the princess, right?"

"You!" Shen Zhien knew that he was in the wrong and was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

"What's wrong?" Su Buyue got off Li Junyi's carriage after hearing the noise.

He heard Shen Zhien's unreasonable words in the carriage. He was afraid that his sister would be wronged, so he walked out in a panic.

Shen Zhien knew who Su Buyue was. Seeing Su Buyue here, he knew that he had wrongly blamed Su Junxi, but how could she, who was so arrogant, apologize?

"It's okay." She waved her hand and then led Xia Shi closer to the carriage.

"Brother Jun Yi, I brought you a pot of good tea. Do you want to have a taste?" Shen Zhien's voice was sweet, with a smile on his face.

"No." Li Junyi refused directly.

But Shen Zhien was not discouraged. Instead, he felt more energetic and said, "Try it, Brother Junyi, it tastes great!"

Seeing that Shen Zhien seemed not to understand his words, Li Junyi became a little angry and said, "If you don't get out of here, don't blame me for being merciless."

If it weren't for her father's sake, who would allow her to harass him all the time?

Hearing Li Junyi's threat, Shen Zhien subconsciously retracted his foot that was about to step onto the carriage.

"Then I won't disturb Brother Jun Yi's rest. I've put the tea here. Remember to drink it!"

Shen Zhien asked Xia Shi to give tea to the soldiers at the door, but the soldiers were indifferent.

Xia Shi had no choice but to hold the tea and wait for Shen Zhien's next order.

Li Junyi finally came back from abroad. She thought his attitude towards her would improve, but everything changed slightly.

She didn't know whether she felt happy or sad.

Looking at Shen Zhien's disappointed and leaving figure, Su Junxi felt that Li Junyi was somewhat unkind.

This Shen Zhien is still a child, how could he be so cruel?

"What do you want from me, little sister?" Su Buyue took Su Junxi and left.

Su Junxi shook her head: "Nothing. I just came to see my brother when I had nothing to do. By the way, brother, why didn't sister come with me this time?"

"Hunting is such a threatening activity, how could my mother be willing to let her come?"

Then, Su Buyue glanced at Su Junxi and sighed haggardly: "Why is Tang Zhili willing to let you come?"

While observing Su Junxi along the way, Tang Zhili never came to visit Su Junxi. He stayed with Aunt Li all the time. He didn't even understand the charm of that woman, but she actually fascinated Tang Zhili.

"My little sister insisted on coming here. It has nothing to do with Mr. Hou." Su Junxi explained.

Seeing that Su Junxi's heart was still leaning towards Tang Zhili, Su Buyue knew that it was pointless no matter what she said, since she wouldn't listen anyway.

"That's all, are you hungry? Big brother will take you to eat something delicious!"

With that said, Su Buyue led Su Junxi to the fire.

The soldier saw them coming and quickly handed the grilled fish to Su Buyue.

Su Buyue handed the grilled and fragrant fish to Su Junxi and said with a smile: "Have a try! Brother, I guarantee you that you have never tasted such delicious food in the Hou Mansion!"

Indeed, Su Junxi has never eaten it.

She looked at the grilled fish, gently took a piece and put it in her mouth. The aroma instantly filled her taste buds.

It's fragrant and crispy, and the heat is just right.

"I didn't expect that besides making soup and braised fish, you can do other things." Su Junxi felt a little incredible.

Just looking at the ordinary grilled fish can make Su Junxi smile. It is not difficult to imagine how boring her days in the Hou Mansion were.

"Eat more if you like, it's enough!" Su Buyue pointed to the fish being grilled next to the fire.Su Junxi suddenly remembered that Li Junyi didn't seem to have eaten either, so she said, "Why don't you give it to the prince too?"

With that said, she took another one and walked towards Li Junyi's carriage.

"Well, for you."

Li Junyi happened to get down from the carriage to get some air, and saw Su Junxi approaching him.

Looking at the grilled fish she was holding in the wind, Li Junyi looked at the half-eaten grilled fish and asked: "Is it delicious?"

Su Junxi nodded.

Li Junyi hesitated again and again, and finally took the grilled fish.

Li Yi, who was walking over with food behind him, saw Li Junyi taking the grilled fish handed over by Su Junxi and eating it without disdain, and suddenly felt that his trip was in vain.

In order not to disturb his master, he took his things and stepped aside.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Su Junxi stared at Li Junyi eating like a child.

It was the first time that Li Junyi was stared at so closely. He felt uncomfortable and nodded.

"As long as it's delicious. Then you can eat it first, I'll go back first."

After finishing speaking, we should turn around and leave.

Li Junyi stopped her.

"and many more."

"Huh?" Su Junxi looked back at him in confusion.

Li Junyi was slightly stunned. What did he ask her to do?
The two looked at each other in confusion, and the three people watching around them were also at a loss.

Yingshi suddenly raised her head and looked at the sky. It was cloudless and the stars were twinkling. She said, "Why don't you go to the rocks over there to look at the stars?"

Seeing this, Li Junyi agreed: "The suggestion is good."

He turned around and walked towards the stone. Su Junxi was still hesitating, but Yingshi had already followed.

By the time Yan'er realized it, it was already too late. Li Junyi was sitting on the stone and Yingshi was sitting on the grass below.

"She is quite diligent." Yan'er couldn't help but murmured.

Su Junxi had no choice but to follow.

"The night is so beautiful!" Su Junxi looked up at the sky, dotted with stars, it was so beautiful.

"If you have seen the stars on the snow-capped mountains in the frontier at night, you will not think that this scenery is beautiful." Li Junyi suddenly thought of the night scene in the frontier.

Su Junxi turned away curiously and asked him, "Is the border area really more beautiful than Kyoto?"

She had never been there and was a little curious.

“Not only is the scenery more beautiful than Kyoto, but even the air is filled with freedom.”

From Li Junyi's words, she could tell that Li Junyi was not happy now and that he was not free.

But isn’t he the regent that everyone respects?
Why did the legendary figure who once moved the world feel like an ordinary person without freedom and love in her eyes?

"Can you take me to the frontier with you?"

Su Junxi suddenly asked.

Li Junyi looked at her strangely, thinking that she was just joking, and played it off casually.

"If you want, I will take you away."

"Brother Jun Yi, I'm coming!"

There was a sudden sound from behind.

Shen Zhien ran over with his maid, and saw Su Junxi and Li Junyi sitting on the rocks, squeezed in between them.
