Yi Chenjing also had a carefree childhood. When the imperial concubine was still favored by the emperor, when the imperial master Shen Junfang had not yet left, he often held him and sang loudly on the city wall. At that time, he would laugh when he was happy, but when he was sad,
Then I cried, and when I had something on my mind, I could ask my uncle, the Imperial Master, to tell me my bitterness, instead of being forbearing and silent like now, hiding everything in my heart so that no one would know.
It's very tiring. It's really tiring to carry all the burdens alone.
"When you are tired, you might as well be lazy, drink a glass of wine, listen to a little song, and don't think about the big things in the world, grudges, and hatreds. If people are always busy with their real work, this life will be too lonely." Ning Xi Zuiyang
Pointing to the stone steps at the door, I don't know when a jar of wine and a plate of green beans were placed, just like a close friend drinking and chatting.
Maybe it was time to take a rest, even just for a moment. Yi Chenjing looked at the wine jar and fell into silence for a long time, then suddenly raised her feet and walked towards the door.
"You want to buy me a drink and you won't pay me back in the future."
"There is no such good wine in the palace. Even if His Highness wants to return it to me, he may not like to drink it." Naturally ignoring Yi Chenjing's awkward temperament, Ning Xizui followed behind and walked to the door. Putting down the wine bottle, the mud altar smiled slightly.
Pour, the clear wine falls into the empty bowl with its strong aroma.
She was used to drinking from exquisite wine glasses and bottles, so it always seemed inelegant for Yi Chenjing to drink directly from the bowl like this. But when she saw Ning Xizui drinking alone, she felt unenviable, so she simply closed her eyes and picked up the bowl to follow suit.
Drink it all in one gulp.
Then came the embarrassing choking.
The wine in the palace is clear and light in taste, while the wine among the people is strong in taste, spicy and choking. He must not be used to drinking it.
Ning Xizui handed over a clean sweat towel and sat on the steps with her chin in her hands and a smile: "His Royal Highness is an elegant person. It's a pity that Miss Bai and I can't drink together."
"What do you mean, you are the ones who are in the same group?" Yi Chenjing gave a lukewarm side glance and snorted, "Don't be too self-righteous. No matter how we share the same interests, Qi Ge will still be my wife."
Ning Xizui laughed dumbly: "That's natural. My relationship with Miss Bai has been explained to His Highness a long time ago. In the world of mortals, there is no more than a pair of confidants. Besides, Miss Bai can only tolerate His Highness in her heart, so what's the point?
Even if a god reincarnates, she won't be able to see her again, so who would ask for trouble and take the initiative to hit a wall?"
It is unreasonable for a prince of a country and a general who has served in the army for many years to be so narrow-minded. Yi Chenjing knew that he was jealous again, so he lowered his head to pour the wine and stopped answering.
He didn't say anything, but Ning Xizui couldn't stop talking. There was no trace of drunkenness in her green eyes, but she looked increasingly clear.
"But I always think that Your Highness is not worthy of Miss Bai."
The hand holding the wine bowl froze, and his evil gaze immediately went straight to Ning Xizui's smiling and graceful face. Yi Chenjing did not refute, but asked: "Then who do you think is worthy? You? Do you think you can do it with me?"
Can you protect her and give her the life she wants?"
"Ning is at best Miss Bai's confidant. If we say that a couple loves each other, I am not worthy, and His Highness is even less worthy -" He raised his hand to stop Yi Chenjing, who wanted to fall out immediately. Ning Xizui shook her head, and finally saw something on her face.
Seriously, "Perhaps Ning is too extreme, but I have always felt that there is no one in this world who is worthy of Miss Bai. I do not mean to belittle His Highness."
Isn't it a disparagement, is it a compliment? Yi Chenjing put away his anger, his face remained unchanged, and he made no secret of his dismissive attitude towards what Ning Xizui said.
Between him and Bai Qige, no one is worthy of the other, and no one is worthy of the other. He has his cruel schemes and will do whatever it takes to seize the throne, while Bai Qige has her ordinary figure and incomplete appearance. Neither of them are perfect people.
Since none of us are perfect and have flaws that cannot be changed, what does it mean to say we are worthy or unworthy?
He loves her and she is willing to stay with him for the rest of his life, that's enough.
"I don't want to hear these words anymore. No matter what you say, I will never give up Qi Ge. Save your energy."
The firm answer did not seem to surprise Ning Xizui. After finishing a glass of wine, the casual young master's eyes were light and gentle: "If His Highness is nice to Miss Bai, I will certainly not take away her beauty. I hope that your words today will last forever."
Remember, if one day Ning learns that Miss Bai is not happy or that His Highness has other feelings..."
What will happen?
Ning Xizui did not continue speaking, but there was a fleeting hint of determination in her eyes that were always as calm as water.
With just one glance, Yi Chenjing suddenly felt a little nervous, as if he was destined that the elegant and talented man in front of him would be his enemy.
He had to admit that he often subconsciously compared himself with Ning Xizui, but the more he compared him, the more timid he became - except for the fact that his martial arts skills were inferior to him, Ning Xizui seemed to be closer to perfection than him in every aspect. He had a laid-back personality.
He does not compete with the world, he is free and at ease outside of the turmoil, he has endless gold and silver and is not in danger of making a living, but he also has a stinky skin like a beautiful tree. If his status as a prince were not taken into account, almost 10% of the women in the world would choose him.
Why would you rather be drunk?
So he couldn't help but think, if Ning Xizui had met Bai Qige before him, would Bai Qige's destination still be him today?
"Anyway, Miss Bai is now His Highness's Crown Princess. This is the most important fact to bear in mind." As if seeing Yi Chenjing's confusion, Ning Xizui poured another bowl of wine and handed it out, her eyes still calm and stable.
, "Your Highness has the confidence to guard the treasure well, so he won't be afraid of being remembered. If you don't even have this confidence, you can't blame others. Whether your Highness believes it or not, Miss Bai and I have some of the same ideas, such as life is short.
Have fun, and for example, only His Highness can sit on this distant throne."
"Businessmen are all good at calculating. Why does Boss Ning spare no effort to help Qi Ge and me? If I become emperor in the future, what will Boss Ning need in return?" When the battle for the throne was mentioned, Yi Chenjing immediately restrained himself and thought deeply.
In a few words, he returned to Ning Xizui's purpose.
Bai Qige believed that Ning Xizui was helping his friends without asking for anything in return, but he didn't think so, especially when the other party's identity was mysterious and he was courteous to his daughter.
After pondering for a while, Ning Xizui raised her long eyes and light eyebrows, with a hidden smile: "The wealth and glory in the world are all clouds, and fame and wealth are fleeting. There is only one thing in this world that Ning can't get - I want to ask for it."
Is Your Highness willing to give Miss Bai in return?"
Is it a joke or is it serious? Yi Chenjing was not sure as she stared at the face with no real face.
However, no matter what, the answer is the only one.
The hem of his clothes passed over the moss-covered stone steps and became stained green. After receiving a slightly drunken reply from the tall and tall figure, Ning Xizui sat there and smiled at the night, turning up his folding fan and savoring those words.
"I would rather break my promise and risk the world than teach her to leave."
Because the farmhouse where she stayed that night was not enough, Bai Qige had to share a room with Qiao Qingxu and Ye Huawan, while the five men crowded into another room. They did not meet Yi Chenjing again until the next morning.
"No one can take you away." The moment he passed by, Yi Chenjing's voice was low, with a hint of ferocity.
"What's the epilepsy?" Bai Qige muttered to herself blankly, looking at Ning Xizui inquiringly. The latter was as gentle as jade, as usual, and didn't look like they were in conflict. Could it be that he had some strange dream that affected his mood?
? Shaking her head helplessly, Bai Qige dismissed her trivial thoughts and got on the horse. She clamped her feet on the horse's belly and sped off far away like the wind.
How many people's eyes are following her? Bai Qige doesn't know or have thought about it. The world is so big and there are so many living beings, all she needs is one person's focused gaze.
After walking for twenty or thirty miles, when they reached the fork in the road, Qiao Qingxu chose a different path than planned. This path led in the opposite direction to the imperial capital. Bai Qige couldn't help but be curious.
"Sister Qiao, where are you going? Don't you follow the original route?"
Qiao Qingxu waved her hand: "Don't take the original route. There is nothing wrong with the route chosen by Fu Chu, but Zhan Ting and I were too anxious when we came here and did not bring other people. It would be too risky for just the few of us to break into the imperial capital. I plan to take you back first.
A trip to Qiaojiazhai, gathering enough people and horses before starting on the road, will not delay us for two or three days in total."
"Qingxu, it's enough with me, why bother taking a detour?" Considering that Concubine Jing was still hiding from Yi Chenxuan and Prime Minister Zuo's men under the protection of General O, Zhan Ting couldn't rest assured about anything he said, and he was confused and dismissed it.
Qiao Qingxu’s decision.
The result - "Zhan, if you weren't riding a horse, I would have whipped you twice." Qiao Qingxu rolled her eyes at Zhan Ting, saying that without moving her hands, she just raised her leg and kicked Zhan Ting in the calf.
superior.
Yi Chenjing would never have tolerated this matter. Ning Xizui would have laughed it off, but it was Zhan Ting who was kicked...
Silently dusting off his pants, the most powerful guard in the Royal Palace of the Far Kingdom just scratched his head stupidly, with a sunny smile on his face that made Yi Chenjing bow his head in shame. Zhan Ting's heart is the simplest, and Bai Qige admires his flawless simplicity.
, honest and loyal, the cold and cold Zhan Ting that night seemed to be an illusory dream that passed by in the blink of an eye. At this moment, it was the Zhan Ting she was familiar with, the brother Li Er said was gentler and more reliable than anyone else.
Zhan Ting's slow reaction angered Qiao Qingxu. With a loud shout, he whipped his horse hard and galloped away, leaving the others behind in the blink of an eye.
No matter how straightforward she is, she is still a woman. If she has any concerns, she has to ask and answer them. She turned her head and glanced meaningfully at Zhan Ting, who was at a loss. Bai Qige sighed: "You are really... forget it, I will do it for you."
Okay, remember you owe me a favor."
"Oh..." He responded dumbly. Zhan Ting's reaction was so stupid that even Ye Huawan could no longer look past it. He raised his eyebrows with disdain on his face.
"Brother Zhan."
"ah?"
"Are you really stupid? You are hopeless!"
It was just a rebuttal, so why did three women reject it together? The second monk, Zhan Tingzhang, was confused. He looked at Fu Chu and Yi Chenjing. Both of them shook their heads and sighed, with expressions of helplessness.
No one can help me with this disease!
Bai Qige didn't notice the different expressions on her face. She had already sped up and chased Qiao Qingxu. It took a short while before she caught up with him.
"Sister Qiao is worried about Zhan Ting and doesn't want him to fight with others too much, right?" Bai Qige asked with a smile as she walked side by side with Qiao Qingxu as fast as possible.
"That fool is so stupid that his head is just a decoration!" Qiao Qingxu gritted her teeth, but couldn't hide the worry in her eyes, "We fought all the way here, but you didn't see him go crazy...
He was so worried about you and your man that he almost risked his life to help you. I really don’t understand where he was before and why he would help his enemies? "
