Chapter 117 Emotional
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes were clear and bright, and she looked at Yu Zheng intently, her heart surging.
Don't do good deeds because they are small, but only be virtuous and virtuous. This is the benevolence that a king should have.
"Master, lunch is set." Zhuiyun reported in a low voice.
The meals are placed in the flower hall next to it, so you need to move there.
"Yes." Yu Zheng stood up, looked at Jiang Shu with dark eyes and said, "Let's go."
Zhao Manying stood up consciously: "Let's think about it after eating and see if we missed anything."
Yu Zheng glanced at her and said in a cold voice: "Go back to your own courtyard to eat. I only have enough food for two people."
Zhao Manying pretended not to understand and said shamelessly: "It doesn't matter, I don't eat enough."
"Zhuiyun." Yu Zheng was too lazy to talk nonsense to her.
Zhuiyun came in response, stretched out his hand and said: "Miss Zhao, please."
Zhao Manying knew that if she continued to be ignorant, she might be thrown out by Zhuiyun.
"Stingy." Zhao Manying curled her lips and left reluctantly.
Before, she would never have dared to talk to Yu Zheng like this.
But after getting along with Jiang Shu last time, she found that Yu Zheng was much gentler in front of Jiang Shu, and he would not get angry and punish easily.
Furthermore, Yu Zheng's words today made Zhao Manying understand that Yu Zheng is a wise and kind man and would not embarrass or punish the people at will.
Well, she is a serious ordinary citizen.
After Zhao Manying left, Jiang Shu and Yu Zheng went to the flower hall next to them to have dinner.
After seeing a table full of dishes, Jiang Shu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Zheng, confused.
With so many dishes, it would be enough for seven or eight people, let alone three people.
Why didn't he let Zhao Manying eat with him?
The deep ink eyes met the clear apricot eyes, Yu Zheng saw what Jiang Shu was thinking, his eyes flashed and said: "Eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
If he didn't say anything, it would be difficult for Jiang Shu to ask further questions. After all, she was just a guest, so there was no reason to question the host.
The rain today is very persistent, it keeps falling and has no intention of stopping.
Jiang Shu originally wanted to go back to the inn after dinner while Yu was calming down, but Yu seemed to have his own temper and said he had a big bowel movement.
"Hua hua la la..." Jiang Shu frowned as he looked at the big and small raindrops falling like jade plates.
"Come in and sit down, your clothes will get wet if you keep standing outside." Yu Zheng called her in the hall.
It was raining so heavily that it was impossible to leave, so Jiang Shu could only go inside and wait.
Seeing that she was restless and looking out of the room frequently, as if she was in a hurry to leave, Yu Zheng asked her, "But is there anything urgent that needs to be done?"
Jiang Shu shook his head: "I'm just afraid of delaying the prince's business. If the prince has official business, just go and do it. Don't worry about me. I'll leave when the rain subsides."
"Everything that needs to be done has been done. There is nothing important. I can return to Beijing in a few days."
Having said this, Yu Zheng asked smoothly: "When are you going to return to Beijing?"
Jiang Shu pointed to the rain outside the house: "We will go back when the rain stops."
When she said the rain stopped, she meant it stopped completely.
Yu Zheng understood, looked outside the house and muttered: "Look at the weather, it's probably going to rain for another two days. When the rain stops, we can go back to Beijing together."
Going back to Beijing together?
Jiang Shu's apricot eyes moved slightly, and a trace of joy exploded in her heart. Her already beautiful eyes were radiant and surprisingly bright.
But suddenly, something came to her mind, and she frowned and said, "The prince will definitely take Zhao Renxian with him when he returns to the capital. Will it be inconvenient for us to go together?"
Yu Zheng licked his lips and said, "No."
"You and I can not only talk to relieve boredom, but also help each other when encountering problems. There is nothing better than that."
After hearing what Yu Zheng said, Jiang Shu no longer worried and nodded in agreement.
Seeing her nodding in agreement, Yu Zheng slowly loosened his clenched hands, and his beating heart calmed down.
"By the way, Your Majesty, it rained all night last night. How did you capture Zhao Renxian?" Jiang Shu suddenly remembered this.
If she didn't quench her curiosity, she might not be able to sleep when she went back today.
Yu Zheng was startled and suddenly said: "Is this why you came to see me yesterday?"
"Yes." Jiang Shu admitted sheepishly.
Yu Zheng sighed secretly and slowly talked about how he captured Zhao Renxian the night before.
When he heard that Zhao Renxian attacked Yu Zheng, Jiang Shu felt nervous and interrupted Yu Zheng to ask, "Is the prince injured?"
Yu Zheng, who was telling the story, was slightly stunned when he heard the words, and then realized that she was worried about him, and felt warm in his heart.
"No, Mr. Zhou is the number one master in the palace. With him standing by, no one can hurt me. Besides, I can also do martial arts, which is enough to protect myself."
After hearing this, Jiang Shu felt relieved, then blushed and said, "I'm just worrying."
She had seen Yu Zheng's martial arts before, but she had somehow forgotten that he knew martial arts just now.
"I'm very touched that you care about me." Yu Zheng's dark eyes turned and he stared at Jiang Shu seriously.
The emotion in those dark eyes was so hot that Jiang Shu's apricot eyes trembled and she avoided it in a panic.
Seeing her escaping, Yu Zheng was a little disappointed, but he didn't force her to continue telling what happened that night.
Jiang Shu was confused and absent-minded, and didn't listen at all.
Yu Zheng's voice is gentle and clear, like a clear spring in the mountains that cleanses the heart. It is extremely comfortable and pleasant to listen to.
So in the end, Jiang Shu only remembered that Yu Zheng's voice was very nice.
After talking for a long time, Yu Zheng felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the tea cup and drank tea.
Jiang Shu raised his eyes and saw Yu Zheng's rolling Adam's apple at a glance.
The hill-like Adam's apple is very conspicuous. As Yu Zheng drinks water, it slides up and down. It makes people feel itchy like a cat scratching it, and they want to reach out and touch it.
After realizing what he was thinking, Jiang Shu's face that had just calmed down instantly turned red again, and he quickly looked back at the rain curtain outside the house.
After Yu Zheng finished drinking, he put down the tea cup, glanced at the rain outside the room and asked, "Can you play chess?"
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, which was exactly what he wanted.
"I know a little bit." Jiang Shu didn't dare to exaggerate, so he answered very tactfully.
"Zhuiyun, get the chess piece." Yu Zheng ordered.
Zhuiyun moved very quickly, and soon he brought the chessboard and placed it in front of the two of them.
The two of them each held a piece and began to play chess.
Because of what happened just now, Jiang Shu kept his head down and did not dare to look at Yu Zheng.
But she lowered her eyes, and her eyes fell on Yu Zheng's clean and slender hands.
The hand holding the black chess piece has clear joints and is as smooth as jade. It is so beautiful.
Jiang Shu couldn't help but be stunned and didn't move for a long time.
"It's your turn." Yu Zheng reminded warmly.
Jiang Shu suddenly came back to his senses, guiltily took a white stone, and placed it somewhere casually.
Yu Zheng frowned after looking at it: "Are you sure you want to go down here?"
Hearing that something was wrong in his tone, Jiang Shu hurriedly took a closer look and found that he had made a stupid move that would kill him.
"I made the wrong move." Jiang Shu hurriedly picked up the chess piece, considered it and then made a new move.
Yu Zheng looked at her flustered and red-faced look and thought it was extremely cute, so he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn." Jiang Shu reminded him softly.
Yu Zheng's eyes trembled, and he forced himself to concentrate and observe the chess game.
In this game of chess, both of them were restless, and they made a lot of mistakes and clumsiness.
At the end of the game, Yu Zheng actually lost, and Jiang Shu barely had one piece left.
"Come again."
Yu Zheng was not unwilling, on the contrary, he was extremely happy to lose.
Only in Lin'an Mansion could he and Jiang Shu get along like this. When they returned to Shangjing, there were so many rules and etiquette that it was difficult for them to meet each other.
Therefore, Yu Zheng cherishes this hard-won time and wants to spend as much time with Jiang Shu as possible.
If possible, he really hoped that the rain would last longer and be heavier.
But no matter how hard it rains, it will eventually stop.
