After the man in front of him said this, he raised his hand and slapped himself with a clear voice.
Chen Xueying frowned slightly and looked at him in surprise.
The guards around him were even more nervous. After all, the man in front of him had taken action, even though he was beating himself.
"Who are you?" After a long while, Chen Xueying finally choked out a sentence.
The person in front of her looked somewhat familiar, either she had seen him before, or he looked like someone she knew, but after searching through her memory, her mind was still empty and she couldn't remember anything.
"Little Cen Ruhai, I came with you to get married." After the man named Cen finished speaking, he raised his hand and slapped her again.
His movements were quick and swift, and the force of his blows was very strong. He didn't just listen to the sound.
Even the sides of his cheeks were flushed, and the two slap marks were very clear.
Chen Xueying was confused by what he said, and asked again: "I have no impression, why do you slap yourself in the face for just one sentence?"
After she asked this question and tasted the product, she was immediately impressed.
"Hey, why is this so familiar? Who told me to slap someone in the face with just one sentence?"
Cen Ruhai's eyes flashed slightly, and he really couldn't even feel any hatred for the completely forgotten Princess in front of him.
It's not that he's kind, it's that he doesn't dare.
He has not forgotten how ruthless Chen Xueying's methods are. When she wants to punish someone, she will definitely achieve her goal easily and even make his situation even more miserable.
"You personally ordered me to slap myself when I say a word." After Cen Ruhai finished speaking, he slapped me again.
This crisp "pop" sound seemed to have become a part of his words.
"What mistake did you make?" Chen Xueying suddenly became curious.
Cen Ruhai looked up and saw that the woman in front of him was full of curiosity. She seemed to have forgotten everything, as if she was saying that a little person like him was not worth remembering at all.
He was silent for a long time before holding back two words: "A lot."
Then he quickly changed the subject: "There is someone at home. He has been waiting for a long time. Please come to me."
After saying that, it was still a slap.
Chen Xueying stood there without moving, just looking at him leisurely.
After a moment of silence, she reminded: "What you just said was two sentences, it should be two slaps."
After saying that, she raised the corners of her lips and gave him a sweet smile.
When Cen Ruhai saw her bright smiling face, his scalp suddenly felt numb.
Obviously this woman remembered him, or maybe she just remembered him and was just pretending, but she didn't let him get away with the slap.
There was another "pop" sound, and Chen Xueying nodded and raised her feet as if she wanted to follow.
But before she could take a few steps, she was stopped by the guards.
"Madam, this person's whereabouts are unknown, and my subordinates have never seen him serving you. He was also punished by you. I'm afraid he has a grudge. Now that I'm not around, I'm afraid it's a trap."
These guards were all trained by the East Palace. They had been protecting Chen Xueying for many days and were already very familiar with the palace maids and eunuchs serving her.
As for the Cen Ruhai in front of them, they had naturally never seen him before. They even heard that he had been punished by Chen Xueying, so they were even more wary.
"Don't talk about you guys, I haven't seen him a few times, so I don't remember. You see someone coming from my hometown, I also want to see him, but you are so good at picking the time. My husband is not around, why don't you wait for him to come with you? "Chen Xueying spread her hands and pretended to be helpless.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cen Ruhai became anxious.
They had specifically chosen this moment to see the prince of Northern Qi meet the royal man from Dayan. What could be the outcome? He probably didn't even exchange a few words and just started fighting, right?
"Okay, I know you are scared. Don't make an appointment in a weird place, let's make an appointment in a restaurant. Well, this is the Ruyi Restaurant. Let people from my hometown come to meet me." Chen Xueying pointed, and there was a restaurant not far next door. The restaurant seems to be quite crowded.
"Go and tell me, I'm going to see a guest, and he shouldn't come forward or interfere." She ordered the guard beside her.
Cen Ruhai was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and left. He had no other choice.
Chen Xueying sat down in the private room of the restaurant, but after half a cup of tea, someone knocked on the door and came in.
The person who came was a young man who looked very similar to Chen Xueying, especially his eyes.
It's just that these eyes look charming on a woman's face, but look a bit feminine on a man's face. Coupled with his fair complexion and thin face, he looks a bit gloomy.
Chen Xueying has been observing carefully. In fact, in order not to expose her secrets, when she was in Northern Qi, she took the opportunity to ask the palace maids around her to draw portraits of Dayan's relatives, using the excuse of lovesickness.
However, few palace maids were good at painting, so she invited a painter and asked Hua Rong and others to communicate with the painter and draw the portrait.
When the portraits were delivered, Hua Rong and the others said that they did not capture the expressions of their masters, but they looked similar.
Chen Xueying used her sad mood to send everyone away.
In fact, she didn't care whether Shen Yun looked like him or not. She just wanted to see clearly what people looked like so that if she met them by chance, she could identify them without revealing their secrets.
This is the time to use it.
Chen Xueying recognized that this man was very similar to Prince Dayan in the portrait.
"I thought someone else was coming, but I didn't expect it was you." She spoke, without revealing his identity, but in a normal tone.
"It's only been one year since I left Dayan, and you don't even call me big brother anymore?" the man said coldly, his expression even darker.
He could only be said to be worthy of being a prince. He took a few steps closer and sat on the chair opposite her.
In an instant, the majesty surrounding the man was suppressed.
However, Chen Xueying didn't express anything, not even an uneasy look. She even curled her lips at him and smiled sarcastically.
This aura was indeed intimidating, but as soon as she passed through, she was chased by the Northern Qi Prince Lu Zhao, and she survived from the hands of the cold-blooded devil, and even lived well.
How could he be afraid of Prince Dayan's momentum now?
The name of Prince Dayan is Chen Bairui, and he is also one of the male protagonists in the book. He is a character who only appears in the second half of the plot.
In the same way, he quietly sneaked into Northern Qi and contacted Ye Jing, the fake crown princess at the time.
Perhaps because the heroine carries the title of sister, she feels a sense of taboo when she is with him.
Chen Bairui is also a very popular male protagonist, and he is vaguely interested in competing with Lu Zhao.
Even when Lu Zhao was lukewarm towards the heroine in the book, many people shouted to kick Lu Zhao away and let Chen Bairui take over.
"Brother, what are you talking about? If you don't say anything, I won't dare to admit it. What if eldest brother doesn't want to recognize my sister?" Chen Xueying said calmly.
As she spoke, she poured tea and pushed a cup to the man opposite.
Chen Bairui said nothing, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at her, and observed her carefully.
Chen Xueying drank tea by herself and let him look at her, always as steady as a mountain.
"You've changed a lot."
After a while, he spoke.
If it had been the original owner, being looked at like this by his elder brother, and the surroundings were still under low pressure, he would probably have become restless.
But when it was Chen Xueying, she was not in a hurry, and ignored his needle-pricking gaze.
"I was treated as a trophy and sent to Northern Qi. If I don't change, my eldest brother will have no choice but to go and talk to my grave."
"Do you hate Dayan?" Chen Bairui asked immediately.
"Dayan was defeated. It was devastated and couldn't protect itself. I don't hate it." She answered seriously.
Hearing this answer, Chen Borui was not happy. On the contrary, he frowned and asked, "Do you hate my father?"
"My father, the emperor, and my mother gave birth to me and raised me. They gave me glory and wealth, and I don't hate it either."
"Then do you hate Beiqi?"
"I don't hate it either. Northern Qi gave birth to Lu Zhao, and I am now the crown prince of Northern Qi."
"Are you living for Lu Zhao now?" Chen Bairui asked.
Chen Xueying sneered: "Brother, what do you mean by this? I mentioned him, so I live for him? Who did I live for before, for my father, or for you, the prince? I will Can’t you live for yourself?”
"As you said before, you are a citizen of Dayan. Your father and mother gave birth to you and gave you glory and wealth. Now Dayan needs you -"
As soon as Chen Bairui came up, he began to raise his values and focus on contributing to the country. It was clear that he wanted her to do things, and to do big things.
Chen Xueying interrupted him directly: "Yes, I have enjoyed a lot, so I became a princess in marriage, married to Northern Qi, and blessed Dayan for several years of peace and prosperity. I must have repaid a lot of love. The rest of the things are not just a weak act on my part." That’s what a prostitute can do.”
"You underestimate yourself too much. You are the Crown Princess of Northern Qi and you can do a lot more."
Chen Bairui refused to give up. As soon as he said these words, although he had not yet specified what he wanted her to do, he could already guess a little bit.
"The Northern Qi Dynasty is bitterly cold and the people are fierce. As a princess of an enemy country, it is not easy for me to live. I can barely maintain peace for a few years, which is enough to repay me."
"Little sister, your surname is Chen, which is the surname of the country of Yan. The people who are in dire straits at this moment need you." Chen Bairui was rising to a higher level, and he was not done yet. He kept holding her up.
"It's easy to say, it's not impossible for Dayan to ask me to pay more. Brother, if you give me your seat, I will risk my life." Chen Xueying did not refuse, but said with a genuine smile.
Chen Bairui was slightly startled and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean?"
"I'm just a princess. I have nothing to do with Dayan after we get married. But you want me to borrow my identity as the Crown Princess of the Northern Qi Dynasty to plan for Dayan. You just want me to deliver news and act as a spy. But this is not good for me at all. , if the matter is revealed, Northern Qi will definitely kill me."
"If the matter is not revealed and Dayan has insufficient troops, even if we have the information, it will be difficult to win. If we fail to win, I will have to be a spy for the rest of my life. Why? If Dayan wins by luck and Northern Qi is defeated miserably, I will be a spy after returning to Dayan. He's just a helpless wretch who has become everyone's joke before and after dinner." She said it very seriously, obviously what she was thinking.
"No, I promise you as the crown prince of Dayan that if it goes through, after you return to Dayan, you will be the only woman to be knighted and rewarded. Your merits will be honored by future generations, and no one will dare to laugh at you." Chen Bairui Strictly speaking.
Chen Xueying shook her head directly: "Brother, you are also the Prince of Dayan, how could you say such innocent words? When a person in a high position asks for something from someone, what he says is simply untrustworthy. After he achieves his goal, the cunning rabbit will die. Isn’t it just a matter of words to cook for lackeys and hide good bows? It is better to be independent and self-reliant than to make a living at the hands of others.”
"If you give up the crown prince position to me, I can ensure peace between the two countries, otherwise we won't have to talk." Her tone was more serious than his, and it was completely determined.
"You are so sure that even if the crown prince's position is given to you, will the people of Northern Qi listen to you?"
"Why can't you listen to me? I can be the Crown Prince of Yan, and naturally I can also be the Queen of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Unifying the country and being famous for eternity is a matter of course." Chen Xueying had envisioned a bright future, and her words were full of heroism.
"You're crazy." Chen Bairui said urgently.
The calm expression on his face could no longer be controlled, his brows were furrowed, his face was full of surprise, and he even seemed to be slightly flinching.
He really didn't expect that Chen Xueying actually wanted to be the queen, and also wanted to unify the north and the south. Many people didn't even dare to dream, but she dared to say it so openly.
"I'm not crazy, it just depends on whether you want to let it go or not."
Chen Bairui sneered: "If you say such big words, Beiqi will really let you become the queen. You are just trying to make a fool of yourself. I never expected that after you married to Beiqi, your thoughts became wild. A woman I also want to be a prince. I can agree, but thousands of people in Dayan will not agree!"
"Stop using tens of thousands of people to put money on your face. Dayan has been defeated in successive years. If I hadn't come to make peace, they would have finally been able to breathe. Otherwise, they would still be homeless and exhausted. The people don't care about that at all. Who is sitting on this chair?"
"I think you are so praised by the people from Northern Qi that you even dare to have such a dream!" Chen Bairui did not hide the disgust on his face at all.
Chen Xueying rolled her eyes and said unceremoniously: "No one with a brain can say such nonsense. I am a princess from a defeated country, and I can still be sought after when I come here to get married. Dayan is already in turmoil. , you will be the next emperor, tsk, the unification of the north and the south is just around the corner."
"What kind of ecstasy soup did the Prince of Northern Qi pour into you?" the man slammed the table hard and said sternly.
He made such a big noise that the guards waiting outside immediately broke in and looked at Chen Bairui warily.
Of course, the guards brought by Chen Bairui were also facing each other with swords, and both sides were very nervous.
"If you don't want to talk about anything, just leave if you can't continue talking."
Chen Xueying directly served tea to see off the guests.
Chen Bairui gritted his teeth. When he learned from Cen Ruhai what Chen Xueying had done, he thought Cen Ruhai was exaggerating.
It was hard for him to imagine that his little sister, who had always been afraid of him, would become arrogant and domineering.
But now after seeing it with my own eyes, I have to believe it, it is even more exaggerated than what Cen Ruhai said.
"We haven't talked about the business yet." He waved his hand.
Chen Xueying pursed her lips: "Is there anything else serious?"
"I'll leave after we finish chatting, otherwise I'll have to find a chance next time. It's not easy to meet here."
Regarding his words, Chen Xueying sneered and said in a disdainful tone: "I know that meeting is not easy, but I still talked so much before. Brother, you are really unqualified as a prince."
Having said that, she finally waved her hand and asked the guards to go down.
The door of the box was closed again, and Chen Xueying looked at him leisurely.
"Northern Qi is not peaceful recently. I heard that the prince has lost his memory, right?"
"Who said that?" She refused.
"No need to lie, I have seen him hanging out with you. The dignified prince does not deal with court affairs in Jicheng or goes to the border to review the soldiers, but he accompanies the prince to play. He has obviously lost the ability to discuss politics. Originally, I received I didn't believe it when I heard the news, but now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's obviously true." Chen Bairui came prepared.
The two countries have been enemies of each other for many years, and each will send spies. It is normal for Chen Bairui to learn about the news from Northern Qi. In addition, Lu Zhao himself is pretending to have amnesia. Since he wants to confuse the Lu family, naturally even Dayan's spies will also receive false information. information.
She remained silent and did not answer.
"The one-year period has passed, and the peace talks between the two countries are about to be restarted. The prince of Northern Qi has lost his memory, and the remaining princes are busy fighting for power. The situation in the government is obviously unstable. This peace talk is very beneficial to Dayan. Although I can't put the prince's relationship at risk. I'll give you the position, but Dayan will always be your natal family, and you should know that the more stable the natal family's background is, the less their husband's family will dare to look down on their married daughter."
"You have suffered this year. If the peace talks go well, you will live more comfortably in Beiqi."
Chen Bairui's voice slowed down, and he seemed to have just remembered to play the emotional card.
The last few words he said were very tender.
Chen Xueying kept her head down, staring at the rising and falling of the tea leaves in the teacup, seemingly absent-mindedly.
Chen Bairui let out a long sigh: "I know you still have hatred in your heart at this moment, but Wangjing always misses your family. I also brought some gifts to you. The address is here. Remember to ask someone to pick it up."
"Little sister, brother is leaving. Won't you say goodbye to me?" His tone became more gentle, and he even sounded sincere when he said goodbye.
Chen Xueying raised her head, raised her lips and smiled at him: "Brother, goodbye."
Chen Bairui's eyes moved around her face, but he couldn't see any sadness. He could only sigh softly, turned around and left, as if he was very regretful.
After finally sending the person away, her straight back suddenly collapsed and she asked someone to come in and change all the tea sets.
"Forget it, pack up a new box and come out. I'm afraid he has poison on him."
When she entered the new box, she saw Lu Zhao sitting inside, rinsing the tea set with hot water.
"Is the person gone?"
"Well, it's out of season, and the God of Plague has taken the initiative to send it to my door. I wonder if Beiqi has any custom of sending gifts to the God of Plague?" Chen Xueying said reluctantly, with full complaint and disgust in her tone.
"Your eldest brother traveled all the way to see you, but you don't think of him at all?"
"The prince of the enemy country came to Northern Qi to cause trouble, but you don't have any murderous intention at all?" Chen Xueying sneered and asked directly.
Lu Zhao blinked and sighed softly: "He is here for peace talks. He has passed the clear road and will not be killed."
Chen Xueying didn't believe it at all: "I believe the envoys from other countries, but I don't believe what Northern Qi said. This is the crown prince of Great Yan. Killing him will be enough to cause great chaos in Great Yan."
"Now that the prince of Northern Qi has lost his memory, other princes are vying for power, and the court is unstable. Chen Bairui picked the right time."
"Aren't these all tricks you used to deceive him? Just in time to kill him, you will be the savior." Chen Xueying looked eager to try. :,,
