This analogy made Zhenliang feel quite embarrassed. Although she didn't seem to be the one who suffered the loss, she felt awkward after saying it.
She regretted a little, she shouldn't have compared herself to him. If he misunderstood that she was attracted to him again, she didn't know how sharply she would be ridiculed and ridiculed by him again?
Zhenliang thought that next, the third master would definitely reply with words like "I won't fall in love with you" to hit her, but his answer was, "Have both."
What he actually meant was, have your cake and eat it too!
"Idiot! Greedy man! I'm really talking to you!" Zhenliang took a sip of water angrily and said bluntly, "Do you know what a breeding pig and a stallion are?"
The third master nodded. In fact, he just made a guess about the meaning of breeding pigs and horses and was not sure. However, he would not tell Zhenliang that he did not know or was not sure, because it would appear that he was ignorant and would be looked down upon by this woman.
disdain.
"Do you think the Emperor is, in a sense, like a breeding pig or a stallion?" Although what she said would not be heard by the Emperor or his eyes and ears, Zhenliang still felt an inexplicable chill down his spine after she finished speaking.
, there is a terrifying feeling that one will be severely punished after being discovered.
Zhenliang looked around the room furtively, fearing that somewhere in the corner, someone who would inform Nangong Lie was lurking.
She wasn't worried at all that the man in front of her would tell the truth. As for why, it was just a feeling she took for granted.
I remember Jin Ye said that Nangong Lie once sent many masters to capture the third master, but in the end they took away most of the third master's property. Therefore, even if the third master now praises Nangong Lie a lot and is very respectful, he should secretly hate him.
Deep in your bones, right?
"Pigs and horses..." The third master really didn't understand what Zhenliang meant, but he really didn't want to become the cow she said that couldn't understand human words, so he humbly asked for advice, "I heard that the emperor has no heirs yet.
What’s the connection with horses?”
His understanding just now was very simple. Breeding pigs and horses was to produce offspring, but the emperor did not produce offspring.
Sure enough, this saying was not popular in ancient times. Zhenliang smiled mischievously and explained patiently, "Pigs and horses are used to reproduce offspring. In order to reproduce offspring, they must have many different species of the same kind... Ahem, that mating, your Majesty has it."
There are three thousand beauties in the harem... Haha, when I say this, do you understand?"
puff--
When the third master suddenly understood, the water in his mouth suddenly spurted out. Fortunately, Zhenliang dodged in time, otherwise, she would have been sprayed with puddles all over her face.
Immediately afterwards, the third master laughed loudly.
The laughter was loud and sweet, and Zhenliang was unconsciously indulged in it for a moment. He quickly came back to his senses and asked, "Is my metaphor very appropriate and vivid?"
The Third Master rarely looked at Zhenliang with approving eyes, and at the same time nodded without hesitation, "That makes sense."
It was rare for Zhenliang to hear good words that satisfied her from this man's mouth. While she was so happy, she lost interest in arguing with him and simply devoted her energy to eating cakes for the time being.
The third master filled Zhenliang's empty cup with warm water and continued, "Listening to your analysis, do you think the emperor is the dirtiest man in the world, so you don't want to enter the palace and be his concubine?"
Zhenliang nodded heavily, "This is a big reason, but there is another reason, guess?"
The Third Master narrowed his dark eyes with an unpredictable expression, "Because you already have someone you want to marry who is not Qing?"
Zhenliang shook his head, "No, no, I long for free days and don't want to be locked in a birdcage."
"Birdcage?" The third master was startled, but this time he quickly understood what she meant, "You mean, the palace is a birdcage?"
"Isn't it? Although the palace may be the largest and most luxurious birdcage in the world, and many people dream of being locked up in it, especially women, it is essentially a cage after all. The women who live in it will never be able to fly.
Go wherever you want to fly.”
The Third Master's eyes were heavy, "So you don't care about it at all?"
"Absolutely not unusual."
The third master was silent for a while, then asked, "If you had fallen in love with the emperor beforehand, and the emperor had a soft spot for you, would you still be willing to enter the palace?"
Zhenliang gave the man a huge roll of his eyes, "Both of your assumptions are too ridiculous and unrealistic, so I can't answer you."
The third master stopped talking. After Zhenliang took a few bites of pastries, he raised his head and looked at him steadily, "Hey, I think you talked a bit too much tonight, especially the questions. Are you so curious about other women?
"
The man's calm face suddenly darkened a lot, "You are the first woman who has the ability to make me very curious."
Zhenliang took the man's words as sarcasm and said, "Oh, thank you for your appreciation. Curiosity killed the cat. Don't fall in love with me. I won't be responsible for you."
The Third Master raised his eyebrows, "Do you dislike showing off, or are you too thick-skinned?"
Zhenliang glared at the man fiercely, then stopped looking at him and continued to fight with the delicious pastries.
Before she knew it, all the cakes on the plate ran into Zhenliang's belly, and she drank no less than five cups of tea.
I no longer feel hungry in my stomach, Zhenliang feels that my whole body seems to be energetic again, and my mood is much better.
"Woof - woof - woof -"
The distant barking of a dog entered the room through the window, piercing the membranes. Zhenliang's slightly smiling face suddenly froze, and an extremely miserable scene could not help but emerge in his mind.
For her sake, Zhenqi bravely pounced on the middle-aged man Lao Lin, but before he could bite Lao Lin, the short knife in Lao Lin's hand stabbed fiercely into his abdomen... Blood spurted out, and Zhenqi fell to the ground slumped, slowly closing.
I can't move my eyes anymore...
For a moment, Zhenliang was so ashamed that he didn't dare to look up, because the man next to him was Zhenqi's original owner, the Third Master.
He never said to give Zhenqi to her, and she never told him to pamper Zhenqi, but Zhenqi recently lived with her and died because of her.
Zhenliang's feeling at this moment was as if she abducted Zhenqi out of wishful thinking, which resulted in Zhenqi's accident.
If she had asked the Yuchi family to force Zhenqi out, if she had not let Zhenqi follow him on the road to escape, if she had obeyed Lao Lin obediently, Zhenqi would not have ended up like this...
As he thought about it, Zhenliang's eyes became misty, and his two hands pulled each other tightly, even secretly using force.
Suddenly, a large and generous hand was placed on the back of her tense hand. It was not strong, but full of warmth and tolerance. She knew that she should take her hand away, but she was reluctant to let go of that warmth.
"What's wrong with you?" Third Master asked solemnly. Although his voice was cold, his tone was filled with the slightest concern, which touched his heart.
