Chapter 94

Patting the broken porcelain pieces on his body, Liu Shuyun said in a cold voice: "I know this vase is precious, but even if I give up everything, I will pay it to the princess. And even if I can't afford it, Mr. Li will pay it back." Don’t worry about the lady who will compensate you on your behalf!”

"you……"

"Forget it, it's just a plant, and it doesn't have much money, so there's no need to be like this." Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Changsun Jingrong said, "Today's banquet invites you all to come here happily and return satisfied. If it's because of this Unhappiness caused by a trivial matter is really not worth the loss, and it is a waste of my painstaking efforts."

Hearing what Changsun Jingrong said, the female family had no choice but to soften her tone, and said softly and slowly: "The princess is so magnanimous, it really makes us feel ashamed, but some people can't put their noses on their faces, knowing that they have ruined others. Don't take the initiative to compensate." After saying this, the female family looked at Liu Shuyun pointedly, and her tone was full of sarcasm.

Patience was exhausted, Changsun Jingrong squinted his eyes, then glanced at the female family member from the corner of his eyes, and said slowly: "I said, there is no need to compensate, are there some people who don't understand what I said?"

Although Changsun Jingrong didn't speak harshly, none of the people present at that time dared to resist. They didn't even dare to breathe, and stood there nervously, at a loss for what to do.

Looking slowly across everyone's faces, Changsun Jingrong said coldly: "It's okay to intrigue, but in my palace, put away those low-level tricks! If you want to be a guest, I welcome it, but if you want to take the opportunity to make trouble, then Don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Squinting his eyes slightly, Changsun Jingrong saw that everyone was afraid to make a sound, and then he remembered that these people were all famous and distinguished families, not slaves in the palace, so he changed his attitude and said: "There are still good scenery to enjoy inside. , ladies please."

"Let's go, let's go to the front to open our eyes." The female relatives walked forward one after another as if avoiding something terrible.There was a somewhat warm smile on her face, but the corners of her eyes kept secretly looking at her eldest grandson Jingrong, thinking to herself that this woman looked very kind, but after losing her temper, she was so frightening.

After all the people in front left, Changsun Jingrong handed Liu Shuyun a handkerchief, and said, "Wipe off the dirt on your body."

Accepting it silently, Liu Shuyun said in a low voice, "Thank you."

"Is it worth it to get what you want?"

The movement paused, Liu Shuyun tried to calm himself down, and said in a gentle voice: "You are not me, you don't know my predicament and helplessness."

"The so-called predicament and helplessness are all obstacles I set up for myself," Changsun Jingrong said, looking at the departing female relatives with both eyes, with a bit of fatigue and vicissitudes in his tone, "Just like today, do you think Li Yichen Do you really care about you?"

"Of course!" Liu Shuyun said without thinking, "If he doesn't care about me, why would he bring me here?"

"But do you know where this place is? All the children of the nobles came with their famous female relatives, but what about you, what do you have?"

Tightly holding the handkerchief in his hand, Liu Shuyun said with a bit of coldness in his voice: "I will have those names in the future, it's just a matter of time."

"Then what name do you think Li Yichen can give you?" Looking at Liu Shuyun indifferently, Changsun Jingrong said calmly: "At most it is a concubine, and how can a concubine attend such a dinner party? Apart from letting you make enemies early, there is no other use."

"Changsun Jingrong, don't you just want to see me live well!" Changsun Jingrong's words seemed to be stepping on Liu Shuyun's sore feet, making her stare at her angrily, although she lowered her voice, But his tone was still full of resentment, and he said, "Li Yichen will definitely marry me. As for the status, you don't have to worry about it! Just be your own princess and don't need to show off how happy you are, because I I don't care at all, I will live better than you!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Changsun Jingrong said: "Li Yichen is really not suitable for you. If you persist, you will only hurt yourself."

"No matter what the result is, I will bear it myself, so I won't bother the princess! In the future, please ask the princess to take care of herself, and don't step on it in various ways in the name of helping others!"

His gaze sank, and Changsun Jingrong asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"You know what you mean!" Liu Shuyun said angrily, "I put all my hopes on you as you are my sister, but you treat me like a plaything. In desperation, I can only find it by myself." , now I finally meet someone who is willing to treat me sincerely, instead of blessing you, you sneer at me instead, is this how you treat good sisters!"

"Didn't I help you?" Changsun Jingrong said with an angry face, "Then Lian Xiuwen is obviously interested in you, but you despise his identity and don't associate with him, but now he is an official in the court. Become a rookie in the imperial court! You can't suffer with it, but you just want to sit back and enjoy the rewards, and the happiness you get in that way will not last long at all."

When it came to Lian Xiuwen, Liu Shuyun admitted that she had lost her sight, but now she has someone to back her up, so why should she be afraid of this woman?Then he gritted his teeth and said: "No matter how good he is, he can't compare to Mr. Li. Mr. Li is a son of a nobleman with a huge family, not to mention his talent, appearance and morals. He is far superior to Lian Xiuwen in all aspects. Fortunately, I didn't choose Lian Xiuwen, otherwise I will miss Mr. Li!"

With a sneer, Changsun Jingrong said: "Actually, neither Li Yichen nor Xiuwen may catch your eye, because your ambition will never satisfy you!"

After finishing speaking, Changsun Jingrong ignored Liu Shuyun, and walked towards the direction of those female relatives, leaving Liu Shuyun alone with his eyes flickering on and off.

But when Changsun Jingrong turned his back to Liu Shuyun, the cold look on his face disappeared completely, replaced by a playful smile.

In fact, today, Changsun Jingrong really expected that the woman who captivated Li Yichen would be Liu Shuyun, so he must have put in a lot of effort to catch Li Yichen's love interest.It's just that this woman is still careless after all, she shouldn't have come here with Li Yichen, and she also overestimated her own charm, thinking that as long as she gets a man's heart, everything will be fine, but she doesn't know that the most unreliable thing in the world is a man's heart.A woman like her who becomes a villain when she gains power will soon taste the taste of falling.It's just that Liu Shuyun offended him today. While venting his anger, he also blocked the way forward. He wondered if he would have the face to come back to him after being abandoned by Li Yichen.

After the dinner party, the eldest grandson Jingrong returned to the yard, intending to rest early, but unexpectedly, there was an unexpected guest tonight, who disrupted her plans.

Looking at the innocent Sima Xukong, Changsun Jingrong said coldly: "Why don't you take a rest and come to my place so late?"

Holding his arm, Sima Xukong jumped up and said, "I'm only wearing a single piece of clothing. It's so cold, so let me go in first." Squeezing left and right, he got in, sat by the stove and kept rubbing his palms, looking pitiful.

But Changsun Jingrong didn't show any sympathy at all, he raised his arms and looked at Sima Xukong, and said: "With your internal strength, standing naked in the cold weather won't hurt you, so don't pretend to be weak."

Raising a pair of innocent and pitiful eyes, Sima Xukong complained like an abandoned kitten, "Jingrong, have you read too many Jiang Huzhi? Even if I have practiced martial arts, my body is not iron. How can you not be afraid of the cold?"

"I'm not in the mood to study your body right now," Changsun Jingrong said sarcastically, "Just tell me what your plan is for tonight!"

"Hey, hey, what can I come up with," Sima Xukong said with a flattering smile, "Actually, I just want to ask, can we make do here tonight?"

Looking at Sima Xukong's shining eyes, Changsun Jingrong's eyes widened, and he refused mercilessly: "Of course not! Have you forgotten what you promised me before! You forgot, but I will remember." Let's go!"

"Oh, I didn't say that I would break my promise, but today's situation is special, so I want to see if I can make some money." Sima Xukong said rather distressed, "It's not that those brats, who drink too much, then Just stay for one night."

"What does temporary residence have to do with your staying here?" Changsun Jingrong asked, "There are so many guest rooms, they can live there as they please. As long as you live next door honestly, no one will be able to discover the secret between you and me."

"But..." Sima Xukong said in embarrassment, "As long as a little gossip reaches their ears, all our previous efforts will be in vain! To be on the safe side, you will be wronged today and treat them After I leave, I promise that I will never stay here."

"I don't believe your promise!" After giving Sima Xu a blank look, Changsun Jingrong walked to the door and swung the door open. A gust of cold wind blew in from outside, blowing on his skin, causing goose bumps.

And at the moment of opening the door, Changsun Jingrong noticed a dodgy figure outside under a decayed willow tree, who seemed to be looking over here.Frowning slightly, Changsun Jingrong turned around and closed the door tightly, frowning.

Seeing the appearance of the eldest grandson Jingrong, Sima Xukong showed a look of "as expected", and said: "Even you have seen it. It seems that the people selected by the emperor this time are really not bad."

Hearing this, Changsun Jingrong frowned and looked at Sima Xukong, and asked, "You mean, among these people tonight, there is the emperor's eyeliner?"

"That's not it," Sima Xukong said with a slight complaint, "I've been so low-key, what else is there to worry about, Your Majesty?"

"Then what have you done recently that the emperor shunned?"

After thinking about it carefully, Sima Xukong shook his head and said: "Not really, the Ministry of War is just passing by eating, drinking and having fun all day long, there is nothing for the emperor to suspect."

After thinking secretly for a while, Changsun Jingrong had no choice but to say: "I don't know what's going on outside now, and I can only let you stay for one night tonight, but you'd better not lie to me, otherwise, I won't be able to forgive you you!"

"Don't worry Jingrong, I will never play tricks!" Sima Xukong narrowed his eyes with a smile, casually spread a quilt on the floor, and lay down on it.

"Hmph, there's not even a quilt, so you're not afraid of the cold?" Changsun Jingrong dragged a quilt and threw it over, turned around and blew out the candle, got into the quilt, closed his eyes and entered the shallow water.

It's just that after a long time, Changsun Jingrong still didn't feel sleepy at all. He was thinking about what happened today, and his thoughts became clearer and clearer.

"Ah-"

In the silence, there was a sudden sneezing sound, Changsun Jingrong subconsciously wrapped the quilt tightly, but after thinking about it, he remembered that there was someone else in the room, so he turned and looked over.

I saw Sima Xukong hugging his quilt tightly in a ball, as if he was not sleeping peacefully, his brows were furrowed.

Changsun Jingrong originally wanted to ignore this man, but in the end he stood up, grabbed the corner of the quilt, and planned to cover him with the quilt.But as soon as his subordinates exerted force, they felt their whole body spinning, and then, they were pressed to the ground, and the man on him pressed his elbows on his neck, his eyes looked like a ferocious beast, ready to attack at any time.

Changsun Jingrong was stunned for a moment, she never thought that An Yi such as Sima Xukong would have such defensive eyes, her mind went blank for a moment.But in this short moment, Sima Xukong came back to his senses, quickly loosened the restraint on his eldest grandson Jingrong, and said apologetically, "I just had a nightmare, didn't I hurt you?"

Shaking his head, Changsun Jingrong stroked his neck and asked, "What did you dream about? Is someone chasing you?"

"It's just an old story," Sima Xukong smiled and rubbed the top of grandson Jingrong's hair, and said kindly, "Go and sleep, it's getting late, and you've never slept like this."

Such a small gesture of intimacy made Changsun Jingrong feel like a pampered woman with a solid arm to rely on.But as soon as such a thought flashed by, it disappeared without a trace.

Getting up and walking back to the bed, the eldest grandson Jingrong lay flat on it, staring at the top of the bed, feeling a little strange in his heart.She found that she didn't understand Sima Xukong less and less. Her previous evaluation and impression of him had been overturned, and instead a strange Sima Xukong stood in front of her.

"I heard that there was some disturbance in the garden today?"

After waking up, Sima Xukong seemed to be refreshed and no longer sleepy, so he asked a question that was circling in his mind.

Putting his hands behind his head, Changsun Jingrong asked instead: "What have you heard?"

"I heard that you are Li Yichen's sweetheart. The boy was still a little puzzled. He didn't think you were that kind of person, but he couldn't help telling that the person described it vividly and said it as if it was true. Li Yichen couldn't help it. Speak."

If Li Yichen approached Liu Shuyun to ask, the girl would definitely pretend to be cute and pitiful, neither admitting nor denying it, making people have infinite reverie.However, if Liu Shuyun didn't take the initiative to spread the matter, who else would spread the rumor?
Frowning, Changsun Jingrong asked, "Who spread this word?"

"It was relayed by Wang Zhifei's wife. That woman was always afraid of the chaos in the world. Now that she has received such explosive news, of course she wants to publicize it. Fortunately, I suppressed this matter, otherwise I wouldn't know What is it going to be like?"

Turning over, the eldest grandson Jingrong leaned on his arm and said: "It seems that some people don't like Liu Shuyun now, her dream of becoming a rich man is very difficult."

"By the way, I remember that Liu Shuyun and you knew each other, why did you pretend to be strangers to each other today?"

"It's a long story," Changsun Jingrong lowered his voice, and said, "She used to be my best friend, but because of certain things, the friendship was broken. Today she thinks that I have ridiculed her, If you said some cold words, I am afraid that you will resent me even more in your heart."

Although the night was getting dark, Sima Xukong's eyes were still used to the darkness. Through the thick night, he looked at Changsun Jingrong and said, "Actually, you also care about her."

"That's wrong," Changsun Jingrong closed his eyes slightly, with a mocking smile on his lips, and said, "I'm the one who wants to see her miserable life the most, because she doesn't deserve happiness at all!"

Sima Xukong smiled, and said: "With your vengeful temperament, it is really hard for you to allow her for so long."

There was silence in the air for a while, but Sima Xukong didn't get an answer from his eldest grandson Jingrong, so he couldn't help but sat up and looked at her carefully, and found that the woman had fallen asleep at some point.

With lips bent, Sima Xukong's eyes seemed to hold a pool of spring water, tender and affectionate, full of reflections of his eldest grandson's quiet and beautiful sleeping face.

Standing in the yard, Qiu Yefei quietly looked at the gloomy sky, her nose was red from the cold, and her wet black eyes seemed to be foggy.After an unknown amount of time, fine snow began to fall from the sky, and when it fell on her long hair, it looked crystal clear.

The maid walked to the small courtyard and saw Qiu Yefei standing there, she couldn't help saying: "The girl has just recovered, but she can't bear the cold, go back to the room and rest."

Turning around slowly, Qiu Yefei looked at the maidservant, smiled slightly, and said, "I'm not cold, after staying in the room for a long time, my whole body is going to be moldy, why don't I come out and stand for a while."

Qiu Yefei, who recovered her face, showed her original beautiful appearance, with a frown and a smile, all revealing a charming posture. Seeing the servant girl shaking her head, she said: "The girl is weak, just stand for a while, but it depends on your body." Your nose is red from the cold, let’s go in first.”

Sighing softly, Akiba Fei returned to the warm room as if being coerced.Sitting at the table, the maid served food for him, and said: "The prince went hunting today, and he brought back two deer. All the masters in the house have venison to eat. The princess thought about the girl, so she also prepared it for the girl. Come out with one."

After hearing this, Qiu Yefei thought about it, and asked, "Did the princess mention anything else?"
