I'm afraid that heaven will not bring its favor to people. Although a gentleman is affectionate, he will hurt others more deeply than being ruthless.
The rivers and lakes are separated by thousands of miles, and I don't know where I am. I hate flying with you without wings.
Zi Teng saw Xia Chengyi holding her head in one hand and holding chopsticks in the other. Her eyebrows were slightly furrowed and her eyes were full of anger and resentment. She looked like an infatuated and selfless daughter. She really couldn't bear to disturb her, so after a full meal, she sat down opposite her.
Daydreams are like wine, which intoxicates people and makes them crazy.
Xia Chengyi drank two glasses of rice wine, a blush gradually appeared on his cheeks, and for a moment, his thoughts were surging like a tide.
"Time is gone, and death is hard to come back. Even if I want to keep my father and mother, and I want to keep Prince Jaw's palace, I can't do it after all. My father, mother, Master Yongzhu, Uncle Lu, and Uncle Zhou have already been buried. , it is impossible to live again. Although the eldest princess's mansion is the former Jaw Prince's Mansion, it can never be transformed back into the real Jaw Prince's Mansion... This huge mansion has one floor, one garden, one wall, one tile, one floor, one floor, one garden, one wall and one tile. Every tree and grass is the same as before, but there are no old friends. What’s the point of staying here all alone?”
"Brother Yuanchen will never stay with me in the house until his revenge is avenged. Even if I force him to stay with me in the capital, I'm afraid he will not be happy in this life. And as a son of man, he has to bear such a blood feud. , I really have to take revenge. Brother Yuanchen is a very sincere and filial person, so how can I say that he should give up his revenge and not take revenge!"
"Although Brother Yuanchen didn't say it, it was obvious that he didn't believe it. Only people from Prince Yun's Palace were involved in the murder case of Anxianyan Government. He was so badly injured that he was anxious to get out as soon as he could get out of bed. , he definitely doesn’t just want to go to Kuaizhou to see those two kids. Even I can see that he has a lot of things to say in his heart. How can my brother not see it? Originally, they were the closest, but Yuanchen’s brother suspected that Shang There are other murderers. Why is my brother unwilling to use people from the court to investigate thoroughly? Uncle Mei is a minister of Dahua. It is natural for the court to be more cautious in judging the case and clarify the reasons? What's more, my brother is already a minister. Emperor, it’s no big deal just to help Brother Yuanchen. How come I’ve mentioned it to him so many times, but he still doesn’t agree? Alas, after this incident, he and Brother Yuanchen seem to be no longer as good as before. They are so intimate. Is it possible that the emperor is doomed to be a loner?"
"They say deep love is worse than long-term companionship. If you can't be by your side, the love will fade away as time goes by. Brother Yuanchen can't stay here with me, so I can go find him!"
Suddenly having this idea, Xia Chengyi's mind came alive again, and his eyes flickered like stars in the night sky.
"Princess, do you still want to eat? I'll ask the boy to serve some more hot dishes." Ziteng asked with a smile.
The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his subjects, and the Lord humiliates his subjects to death. Although this is the way of being a minister, how can it not be the way of being a slave?
Zi Teng was really happy to see Xia Chengyi's face finally showing a smile after her sad face.
"I see you haven't eaten much. Let's ask the store to cook some good dishes."
Xia Chengyi glared at her and scolded: "You are so small, how can you eat like this? Even a big man can't compare to you! You almost ate all six plates of meat and vegetables, how can you hold it in your belly?" ? If you don’t want to eat, go back home.”
In recent days, Xia Chengyi has been depressed and listless all day long. How can he think about restraining Wisteria? Just now the idea of running away from home came to mind, and suddenly I felt much more relaxed, and my words were full of vigor as before.
"I've been hungry for a long time." Ziteng stuck out her tongue and muttered softly.
The guards from the Princess Mansion and the Shenshao Camp waited aside after eating. They had already heard Xia Chengyi said that he wanted to go back, and they passed it on in a few breaths and opened a way.
More than a hundred riders protected Xia Chengyi all the way back.
Chang Lai Restaurant is not a big restaurant, and it has already passed the meal time, and there are no customers in the restaurant.
A short man with a red face and an old man with rosacea slowly walked out of the kitchen, looked at each other, and smiled sadly.
... ...
On the way back, Xia Chengyi drove the horse quickly as he had something to worry about. After about a quarter of an hour, the group returned to the eldest princess' mansion.
"Princess!" Qingji suddenly shouted.
It turned out that Xia Chengyi fell down before the horse could stand still. Fortunately, Qingji was no more than ten feet away from her, so he jumped sideways and caught her in time.
Hua Fang, Ying Sheng, Qiong Qi and others also saw the abnormality here and hurriedly gathered around.
Xia Chengyi felt that his vision had gone dark just now, and suddenly his whole body had lost all strength. When he opened his eyes again, he was supported by Wisteria on his shoulders.
"I'm fine. I just suddenly felt faint and lost strength in my hands and feet. It's okay." She shook her head slightly, stood up straight, and said to everyone with a smile.
Qingji and Taotie had checked her pulse respectively and found nothing abnormal. Although their faces were still a little worried, they were not very worried in their hearts.
"I'll call Doctor Zheng in a moment. We can rest assured when he says everything is fine." Hua Fang replied sternly.
After saying that, he went straight to the outer courtyard.
However, Xia Chengyi didn't take what happened just now into his mind at all. He took Zi Teng's hand and walked towards the main residence with a smile.
Zi Teng hadn't seen her so happy for a long time, and she was actually happy to be dragged along. The two of them laughed all the way to Ruitingyuan.
After Xia Chengxuan ascended the throne, she was named Ruilin, while Xia Chengyi's title was Princess Ruiting.
"Ziteng, how much private money do you have?" Xia Chengyi asked thiefly after entering the boudoir.
After Mei Yuanchen left, Xia Chengxuan cut off Xia Chengyi's money and directly provided the necessary supplies from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was afraid that she would lose control of the house and escape with the money.
As an older brother, he knew his only sister very well.
The rivers and lakes are so dangerous, even if he has thousands of guards with him, he would not dare to get involved easily, let alone Xia Chengyi who has nothing to rely on.
After hearing that, Ziteng subconsciously rubbed her waist and replied softly: "Princess, my monthly money is only four taels of silver, and I have only been in the house for six or seven years. How can I have... can I have anything?" How much money!"
Xia Chengyi put his hands on his hips, glared at her angrily, and scolded loudly: "You damn girl, you are so obsessed with money! I ask you how much private money you have, why are you so sloppy with me? On the tenth day of last month, my brother rewarded me Do you think I don’t know about your ten taels of gold? After my brother ascended the throne, I also gave you a box of treasures as a reward. Humph, that was originally given to me by my brother. With his temper, how could he be stingy and say less? I always have a thousand taels. I didn’t even ask you to borrow them, so I pretended to be poor. I’m really a bad slave! You’re a stinker!”
Ziteng lowered her head in shame and did not dare to answer the question.
"You don't lack anything in your house, why do you need so much money?" Xia Chengyi was furious and pointed at his head and asked.
She had always been generous to Ziteng, but she never expected her to be so picky.
In fact, it's not that Ziteng is stingy, but that Xia Chengxuan has already centralized the monthly payments of the servants in the house. The only money she can use is the private money outside the account books.
"Princess, I don't dare to hide this from you. My monthly salary and reward money have been taken away by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I only have more than two hundred taels of silver in my hand. You... Where are you looking at this small amount of money? Can you get it?" Ziteng explained softly, "Besides, I still want to keep it for my dowry."
Xia Chengyi had mostly forgiven her, but when he looked over, he saw her pursed lips and snickering. He suddenly became angry, pointed at her forehead and cursed: "I treat you like my sister, I didn't expect you to be so bad! Humph! , you want to get married? That’s a good idea, I’m going to send you to the palace to serve my grandma!”
Zi Teng was very frightened after hearing this. She quickly raised her head and begged softly: "Princess, I know you want to find Mr. Mei. I don't care about money. I am worried that you will encounter danger on the road! What if? If you are determined to escape from the house, I... I will naturally sacrifice my life to help you. But you have to promise me that after the Dong Chuang incident happens, you will do anything to protect me and save my little life!"
Xia Chengyi looked at her with crooked eyes, burst out laughing, held his head high and said "deal".
