Chapter 80
Putting down the silver chopsticks in his hand, Changsun Jingrong wiped his lips with a handkerchief, then looked at Sima Xukong coldly, and said coldly: "Didn't you say that you and I are only married by contract, so why are we still talking about feelings? Could it be, Are you sorry now?"

"To be honest, I'm really regretting it," Sima Xukong said with a self-deprecating smile, "Although I know you don't have me in your heart, I still can't help but get close to you. In fact, I have other ways to help you leave the palace. But I still chose the stupidest and most ridiculous way, just because I can see you more, listen to you more, even if you scold me. Maybe you think I am naive, but I just fall down on you hand, there is no way."

Looking up to drink the wine in the glass, isn't Changsun Jingrong also taking advantage of Sima Xukong's friendship with him?But she still forced herself not to look at it, not to think about it, and convinced herself that a man like Sima Xukong would not be genuinely moved.But listening to Sima Xukong's confession, Changsun Jingrong only felt that he was an ostrich avoiding responsibility.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was silent, Sima Xukong rubbed his cheeks, swept away his gloom, poured two glasses of wine with a smile, and said, "Okay, okay, I know you don't like to hear that, so I won't listen to you." That's it. Come on, let's have a toast for our upcoming cooperation!"

Putting away all the sadness, Changsun Jingrong raised his cup and touched Sima Xukong's. After drinking it all, he fell asleep and said: "In the future, as long as there is a place where my eldest grandson Jingrong can help, just let me know and I will help you." Will help you to the end."

Sima Xukong waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Just accept it with peace of mind. Don't think about it. I didn't expect to get anything from you. Of course, if you can entrust your heart with gratitude, then I'm not being polite, haha."

Seeing Sima Xukong acting foolishly again, Changsun Jingrong gave him a blank look, and then asked, "Then what are your plans for the future?"

"Well, for at least one year, you'd better be my concubine in peace and stability. When outsiders gradually forget you, I can arrange tricks such as suspended animation to restore your freedom." Sima Xukong ate , while talking vaguely, as if the gloomy man just now was not him, "During this time, you can do whatever you want, and I won't stop you."

Holding the exquisite wine glass in his hand, Changsun Jingrong was silent for a moment before saying, "I don't deserve this from you."

"Whether it's worth it or not is up to me." Sima Xukong raised his smile and said, "Although you can't like me, you can't stop me from liking you. That would be unreasonable!" Hua pushed forward, and Sima Xukong said, "Isn't this your favorite dish? Eat more, and then go to bed early. Tomorrow, I will take you around the palace and let the housekeeper and slaves Come and get to know our new mistress."

He mechanically chewed the food in his mouth, but Changsun Jingrong felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

The next day, when Changsun Jingrong woke up, he found that Sima Xukong, who was sleeping on the imperial concubine chair, had disappeared, so he got up and called Bihe in.

"When did the prince leave this morning?"

"About an hour ago," Bi He looked at the elder grandson Jingrong with a smile, and said, "When the lord left, he told the servants not to disturb you. Miss, the lord is very kind to you, isn't he?"

"You are really easy to be bribed." Changsun Jingrong curled the corner of his lower lip, and said, "Please wait for me to freshen up first."

"Yes."

Bi He turned around and left the room. After a while, Qiao Shan'er and Qiao Shan'er came in carrying the basin. One was in charge of washing and the other was in charge of tidying up the room.

When Qiao Shan'er was tidying up the bedding, she couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh".

"What's the matter with you, Shan'er?"

Standing up straight, Qiao Shan'er looked at Bihe, then at her eldest grandson Jingrong, and suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Holding the earrings in hand to compare, Changsun Jingrong said calmly: "Isn't it just that I didn't find the blood-stained handkerchief? You don't need to look for it. It must have been taken by Sima Xukong."

With a blushing face, Bi He helped her eldest grandson Jingrong hold her long hair, and said, "Miss is a woman now, and this servant almost combed her hair in the wrong bun just now."

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Jingrong wanted to say that he was still a virgin, so don't ruin his reputation by talking nonsense.But after thinking about it, he is already married to Sima Xukong, so what reputation is there?Let it go.

But thinking of the Ninth Prince who still had a year to live in his memory, Changsun Jingrong suddenly felt very sore in his heart.Perhaps, the year Changsun Jingrong stayed in the palace will be the last of his life...

Slightly frowning, Changsun Jingrong felt that he was really indifferent, and that he was doing him a favor, and here he began to count down his lifespan.However, if he can find out the key to Sima Xukong's death and reverse it, will Sima Xukong continue to live?
The thought that suddenly appeared in his heart made Changsun Jingrong slightly taken aback, and then the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong was in a good mood, Bi He smiled and said: "By the way, miss, when the prince left, he said that after you woke up, he would send the slaves to the front hall to find the housekeeper. The prince is going to let everyone in the house see the bride."

Since he wanted to live here temporarily, the eldest grandson Jingrong had to recognize the person anyway, and no matter what, he had to look at the environment he was going to live in.

When Changsun Jingrong was almost done tidying up, he stood up and said, "Let's go to the front hall together."

"Ah? My lord, please tell me that the servants can go there first."

"And then wait for you to come back to pass the pass? It's not troublesome enough," Changsun Jingrong straightened his skirt and said, "Besides, I'm a little hungry. If I finish these scenes earlier, I can eat earlier .”

Seeing that the eldest grandson Jingrong insisted, Bihe could only take out the paper umbrella, stood at the door and said: "It is drizzling outside, miss be careful."

Gently pushing open the door, a fresh air mixed with the aroma of green grass rushes towards the face, which makes people feel refreshed.

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Jingrong felt that this morning was not bad, it should be considered a good start.

The servants in front of Xu Steward Xu Zhengxiang were explaining things, when they suddenly caught sight of a luxurious and beautiful figure out of the corner of their eyes, they hurriedly turned around and saw a young woman, Pingting, approaching.

Although Steward Xu hadn't seen the appearance of the new princess yesterday, but judging by her demeanor and appearance, she confirmed the identity of this woman.Taking a few steps forward hastily, Steward Xu bowed to his eldest grandson Jingrong and said, "This old slave has seen the princess!"

With a faint smile, Changsun Jingrong said: "You are the housekeeper."

"Exactly, you can call the old slave Lao Xu."

"Hey, since you are the old steward of the palace, you naturally want to call Steward Xu." Changsun Jingrong took a few steps forward, looked around, and said, "This palace is well-organized, and it must be thanks to Steward Xu." .I will live here in the future, and the help of Butler Xu will definitely be indispensable. Bihe!"

Hearing the sound, Bihe hurriedly took out a small red cloth bag, stuffed it into Butler Xu's hand, and said, "This is a tip from my lady to the butler and the servants. Although it's not much money, it's a small gesture."

"Oh, this can't be allowed! This can't be allowed!" As Butler Xu said, he hurriedly pushed away.

"You can accept it. This is our lady's habit. When we go to a new place, we will give a reward. It can be regarded as a celebration."

Hearing what Bihe said, Steward Xu hesitated for a while before he had to accept it, and said: "Then I will thank the princess first. Just now the prince passed the word that he wanted to have dinner in the small garden, and the old servant did not miss you." I will go this trip in person, and now I will inform the prince."

"No need, isn't it just a small garden, it's probably not far from here, just go directly there."

Seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong's serious expression, Steward Xu had no choice but to lead the way, while still thinking in his heart, this new princess is really a weirdo.Let's say she has rules, she doesn't play cards according to common sense, and treats rules as nothing.But if there are no rules, she acts in an open and aboveboard manner, as if whether there are rules or not is determined by her.

After less than a quarter of an hour's work, Steward Xu brought his eldest grandson Jingrong to the small garden, while Sima Xukong was practicing martial arts with a sword in the garden. Every move and every style exuded a cold air.

Changsun Jingrong had never seen Sima Xukong like this.In her impression, Sima Xukong was just a heartless royal nobleman who only cared about having fun all day long, and had nothing to do with the country's plans. The second generation ancestor and so on were all about him.But now Sima Xukong is rarely serious, his moves are full of ruthlessness, and his moves go straight to the target.Sima Xukong seemed to be a different person, full of heroism, serious attitude, and no joke at all.

His ears moved, and Sima Xukong turned his head like a falcon. When he found out that the visitor was Changsun Jingrong, he released his guard and said with a smile, "Why are you? I thought you needed to sleep for a while."

"I'm not very tired, why do I have to sleep for so long like a dead pig."

It was Changsun Jingrong's unintentional words that made everyone around him want to laugh, but after seeing Sima Xukong's glaring eyes, they all held back with all their might.

Changsun Jingrong belatedly realized how much his words could cause people to misunderstand, and his face was a little uncomfortable at the moment, coughed lightly, and then said: "I'm a little hungry, when can I have breakfast?"

"Anytime is fine," Sima Xukong patted his palms, and after a while, the maids and servants walked into the small garden with delicious food and arranged the food.

Walking slowly to the side of the breakfast, Changsun Jingrong leaned over to smell it, and couldn't help praising: "Well, this food is really delicious. It seems that the cook in the palace is very fond of me."

"Why, in the palace, is the only cook who can satisfy you?" Sima Xukong looked at her affectionately, while the eldest grandson Jingrong lowered his eyes very cooperatively, appearing to be a concubine.

"Okay, sit down quickly, aren't you hungry? I'll accompany you around the house after we have eaten."

Sitting softly at the table, Changsun Jingrong said with a smile: "Everything is up to the prince."

Bi He rubbed her arms a little unbearably, thinking that she was used to the swift and resolute behavior of the young lady, and it was really unacceptable to see this little bird's obedient appearance.However, the two people over there are still cooperating seamlessly, really like a pair of people, showing the newlyweds, you and me, to the fullest.

After a sweet and greasy breakfast, Sima Xukong took his eldest grandson Jingrong to tour the Nine Princes Mansion. Every time he came to a special place, he would stop and explain carefully. It is associated with Huaxin Nine Princes.

But in whispers that no one can hear, the two men showed not such a harmonious side.

"Why, do you also have the emperor's eyeliner in your palace? This drama is quite complete."

Leaning into Changsun Jingrong's ear, Sima Xukong said in a low voice with a pampering expression: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, and I can take this opportunity to get closer to you, how could I miss it? Ouch!"

Clenching his arms, Sima Xukong lowered his voice and let out a cry of pain.Stretching out his hand and rubbing it, Sima Xukong grinned and said, "You woman, you are really ruthless. We are newly married. You should be gentle anyway."

"Didn't you be gentle just now? You don't expect me to really stay by your side like a lark."

"Hehe" smiled, and Sima Xukong said in agreement: "Indeed, you can only be a cat that catches birds. If you let yourself be a bird, it would be a waste of money. But your ability to buy people's hearts is not bad, just You bribed the wrong person. Ever since I moved out of the palace, Steward Xu has been with me for almost ten years. He is loyal to me and will never betray me!"

With a cold snort of disdain, Changsun Jingrong said: "There is no one who cannot be bribed, it just depends on whether the chips are enough."

This statement is very fresh, and Sima Xukong raised his eyebrows, and said in agreement: "Yes, if you are used as a bargaining chip, then no matter it is a mountain of swords or a sea of ​​fire, I will jump down willingly!"

Seeing that Sima Xukong turned the topic on himself again, Changsun Jingrong deliberately said, "I heard that you have two other concubines. Where are they? Don't you come out to meet them?"

"As their identities, they are not qualified to appear here." Sima Xukong suddenly became alert. He looked at his eldest grandson Jingrong and said seriously, "If you don't like it, I will send them away now."

"No, I'm only staying here temporarily anyway. They have worked so hard to serve you, so they deserve a place here."

After hearing the words of grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong's mood suddenly became very bad, and he fell silent.But at this moment, the two stood in front of a bamboo forest, occasionally falling flowers were flying, which was too beautiful to behold.

"You go back first, I want to walk alone with the princess for a while."

Lowering his eyes, Changsun Jingrong turned around to look at Bi He and Qiao Shan'er, and nodded slightly.

After receiving the order, the two of them withdrew with other followers one after another, and only Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong were left among the greenery.

Taking a deep breath, Sima Xukong closed his eyes slightly, and said, "No matter how bad a place is, there is always an intoxicating beauty, just like the sea of ​​flowers in the imperial palace. Once, the imperial palace was my nightmare, but now that I think about it, The bad things have become blurred, but Huahai has become an indelible place in memory."

His eyes fell on the green bamboo fluttering in the wind, Changsun Jingrong asked, "What do you want to say?"

Turning around and looking at Changsun Jingrong, Sima Xukong said affectionately: "Maybe you are the last and best memory in my life. I don't expect you to fall in love with me. I just want to be with you during the period before you leave the palace." During the time, enjoy everything I have arranged for you. In this way, in the days without you in the future, it will be enough for me to savor the rest of my life."

Listening to Sima Xukong's words, and thinking of the age at which he died of illness, Changsun Jingrong couldn't help but felt a dull pain in his heart.Squeezing his palms together, Changsun Jingrong looked up at Sima Xukong, as if he had made a decision, and said slowly: "You have helped me so much, both emotionally and rationally, I can't just sit back and watch you deeply." In danger. Believe me, your life will never stop here!"

"You don't have to do this just because you are grateful," Sima Xukong stroked his grandson's long hair lovingly, and said, "It is enough to have an unforgettable relationship with you."

"It's not enough," Changsun Jingrong said stubbornly, "I want you to live this life in peace!"

Changsun Jingrong felt that if he could predict what would happen within three years, he would definitely help Sima Xukong avoid disasters and turn dangers into blessings.But these words changed in Sima Xukong's ears.

Elbowing his elder grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong secretly asked happily: "To be honest, have you started to care about me too? Oh, don't worry, what you said just now was a bit exaggerated, so it won't scare you. "

"I'm not joking with you, I'm serious," Changsun Jingrong said with a straight face, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just not used to owing others, whether you accept it or not, I always have to do something .”

"She is really a stubborn woman." Sima Xukong shook his head, thinking that the eldest grandson Jingrong was trying to be brave, so he said, "Well, if this makes you feel better, you can do it. When you need my help, Just say it."

Seeing Sima Xukong's coaxing tone, Changsun Jingrong rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking in his heart, don't be as knowledgeable as this man, as long as you don't owe your heart.

But even if Changsun Jingrong persuaded him so much, he couldn't ignore the white smile of a man next to him.

Before marrying Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong knew about his past romantic affairs, and also thought that there would be some unwilling women who would come and clamor.What Changsun Jingrong didn't expect was that that day would come so soon!
On the third day of entry, according to common sense, Changsun Jingrong and Sima Xukong will return to Changsun's mansion to return to Guining.In order to show his sincerity, Sima Xukong had already chosen the gift, and went out at dawn to prepare.

As soon as Sima Xukong went out, a servant sent a message from his back, saying that someone asked to see the new princess. It was a coincidence, as if everything had just been arranged.

When he first heard this, Changsun Jingrong was wondering, who would come to find him so early?Could it be Sima Xukong's trick?But when Changsun Jingrong saw the visitor, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and his heart gradually became clear.
