That night, after Zhao Hongrun returned to Wenzhao Pavilion from Ningxiang Palace, his imperial sister Princess Yulong knocked on his door.
"Is something wrong?"
Zhao Hongrun saw that Princess Yulong's face seemed a little unhappy, so he asked doubtfully.
Princess Yulong walked to the table in the house angrily and sat down, looking at Zhao Hongrun dully, and then she said with a flat mouth after a while: "Hongrun, how long are you going to be busy?"
"What?" Zhao Hongrun didn't respond for a moment.
Seeing this, Princess Yulong seemed a little angry. She pursed her lips and said, "Didn't we clearly agree to go out to play together outside the city?"
"Ah." After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun reacted.
Only then did he remember that after he returned to Daliang from Chu a while ago, he had indeed promised to take Princess Yulong to play outside the city. It seemed that he had promised to go hunting with her.
Unfortunately, his father, Emperor Wei, tricked him so much that he was busy with the Smelting Bureau these days and forgot about his promise to Princess Yulong and the others.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun explained apologetically: "Sister Huang, please don't be angry. The Smelting Bureau has a lot of things to think about these days. Let's spend some time, okay?"
Princess Yulong flattened her mouth and said reluctantly: "I've been waiting for more than a month..."
"You can't blame me, there's nothing I can do about it." Sitting opposite Princess Yulong, Zhao Hongrun said angrily: "If you want to blame me, blame my father. If he hadn't framed me, I would have taken you out of the city to hunt."
This matter involves Emperor Wei, and Princess Yulong looks a little unhappy. After all, she is very afraid of Emperor Wei. How can she dare to say anything wrong with her father? Even behind her back.
"Hongrun, how long will you continue to be busy?" Princess Yulong asked gloomily, biting her lip.
Zhao Hongrun obviously saw the imperial sister's reluctance, but the problem was that he really couldn't let go of what he was preparing at the moment.
For example, he plans to go to see Yuanyang King Zhao Wenkai tomorrow and meet this uncle to try to get the land in Bolangsha. This matter cannot be borrowed from others.
After all, if it were Zhao Hongrun, he could still negotiate with King Yuanyang by virtue of his identity as a member of the Ji clan, but if it were Wang Fu, the Bureau Chief of the Smelting Bureau, and others, there would really be no hope at all.
.
"At least there must be... thirty or fifty days." Zhao Hongrun said thoughtfully.
"Thirty-fifty days?" Princess Yulong's eyes widened in confusion, as if she didn't understand what Zhao Hongrun wanted to express.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun smiled bitterly and added: "The short term is three to five days, the long term is... about ten days."
"It will take that long?" Princess Yulong said with surprise and disappointment.
Zhao Hongrun shrugged his shoulders and made a helpless gesture. Immediately, he asked with a smile: "Sister Huang feels that staying in the palace is boring, why don't you go out of the palace to relax?" At this point, he saw Princess Yulong looking inexplicably.
She blinked and looked at him and asked curiously: "Didn't I say that? The emperor is completely free now and can go wherever she wants?"
Princess Yulong was not surprised when she heard this, but looking at her expression, she didn't seem to believe that she, who was born as a palace princess, could really be completely free one day.
"Father...won't you blame me?" she asked cautiously.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun said with some complacency: "If you accept your bet and admit defeat, your father will not go back on your word." After saying that, he said seductively: "What? How about I ask Shen Yu and the others to accompany five people to protect you when you leave the palace tomorrow?
Go and relax?"
It could be seen that Princess Yulong was obviously a little moved, but after she thought about it for a moment, she unexpectedly shook her head and said distressedly: "Hongrun, you're not going... I don't know how to go.
where."
Looking at her flat mouth, Zhao Hongrun shook his head helplessly. Suddenly, his heart moved slightly and he said with a smile: "Well, Sister Huang, you will go out of the palace tomorrow to do something for me."
"Huh?" Princess Yulong opened her eyes wide in surprise, looked at Zhao Hongrun intently and asked, "What's the matter?"
I saw Zhao Hongrun touching his chin and saying with a smile: "My Prince Su's Mansion has been renovated. However, if I want to move here, there are still some practical things in the house. The emperor will leave the palace tomorrow and buy some daily necessities for me."
Is it okay if I need it?”
Upon hearing this, Princess Yulong immediately forgot the anguish in her heart. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Is Prince Su's Mansion completed? Then...can I move there?"
"As long as the emperor is willing." Zhao Hongrun smiled and shrugged: "Didn't I say that the emperor is completely free now?"
Hearing this, Princess Yulong's cheeks turned red with joy, and she said cheerfully: "Then... can I choose my own room and decorate the house myself?"
"Of course... I'll ask Lu Mu to bring enough money tomorrow. You can take the three of them to the market in the city and buy some things I need for my house. Is that okay?"
"Yes!" Princess Yulong became more and more happy as she listened and nodded repeatedly.
As Zhao Hongrun guessed, the imperial sister was too bored to stay in the palace for a long time, but she did not dare to leave the palace alone. Now Zhao Hongrun used the excuse of asking her to do something to lure her into a relationship with Mi Jiang and Mi Rui.
, the three girls, Sheep Tongue and Apricot, go out to play together in the palace, which is exactly what the imperial sister wants. Is there any reason for her to refuse?
As for safety, Zhao Hongrun was not worried. After all, he would ask Lu Mu and other five clan guards to follow them.
But having said that, with the two sisters Mi Jiang and Mi Rui here, Lu Mu and others could only carry their bags and do hard work.
"Hehe, I'll tell Xiao Rui the news. She will be extremely happy." Princess Yulong said excitedly.
Xiao Rui...
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes. He didn't understand why that stupid girl was so popular with Princess Yulong.
"Don't get too spoiled with that stupid girl!" He did not forget to warn her. After all, in his opinion, Mi Rui has the character of a wild girl who needs to be disciplined. Once someone supports her, she will look arrogant. If she hadn't found the opportunity,
He must discipline this girl well.
"Xiao Rui is very smart, why is she stupid?" Princess Yulong seemed to be fighting for her new friend.
After hearing this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but recall the scene where Mi Rui rolled around on the floor and made a big fuss over eating cakes. He rolled his eyes speechlessly and didn't bother to explain anything.
However, when Princess Yulong got up and walked to the door of the room, who was about to tell her friend Mi Rui the good news, she seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and asked in confusion: "Hongrun, you and Mi Rui
What's wrong with Jiang? Was there a quarrel?"
"..." Zhao Hongrun was stunned and asked in confusion: "Why do you ask that?"
"Because Mi Jiang seems to have been avoiding you these past few days...Did you do something to make her angry? This is not okay." Princess Yulong put on an old-fashioned tone like a sister reprimanding her brother.
He said: "Isn't Mi Jiang your woman? You can't bully others."
…
Zhao Hongrun deliberately showed an exaggerated expression of fear: "When did she become my woman?"
Princess Yulong was amused by Zhao Hongrun's expression, but she still said: "Is there any other reason why she comes all the way from Chu to our Wei Dynasty? Isn't it just to follow you?"
Zhao Hongrun didn't want to explain his relationship with Mi Jiang to Princess Yulong. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "How is she...how have she been these two days?"
A hint of snicker flashed in Princess Yulong's eyes: "According to Xiao Rui, her sister has been a little distracted these past two days. She has been alone in the house all day and night." She blinked and added with a smile: "Then
She is a good woman, you are not allowed to bully others."
What do you know?
Zhao Hongrun rolled his eyes, but unfortunately his rolling eyes had no effect at all, because after Princess Yulong finished speaking, she left happily, obviously eager to tell her friends the good news.
Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun got up and closed the door, sitting alone at the table and meditating.
Just as Princess Yulong said, Mi Jiang has indeed been avoiding Zhao Hongrun these days.
Zhao Hongrun understood this in his heart.
Moreover, in fact, he avoided Mi Jiang intentionally or unintentionally.
As for the reason, it was just that the beautiful day was too embarrassing.
No, it should be said that it is too stupid.
After all, in the final analysis, there is almost no emotion between him and her. The only thing that maintains their relationship is the poisonous insect that seems to be very evil at present.
But for some unknown reason that day, Zhao Hongrun, out of some inexplicable impulse in his heart, unexpectedly kissed Mi Jiang on his own initiative.
Zhao Hongrun never believed that it was his normal behavior.
After all, recalling the scenes at that time, Zhao Hongrun can be sure that he was obviously in love with Mi Jiang at that time.
Yes, I fell in love with a woman who had almost no love at all, and for a time I fell into a situation where I couldn't extricate myself.
This is the reason why Zhao Hongrun has been avoiding Mi Jiang these days.
After all, according to his judgment, such abnormal emotions would only occur when in close contact with Mi Jiang. Apart from her, even if Zhao Hongrun and Miss Su were entangled with each other, similar things had never happened.
He speculated that it was most likely because the voodoo bugs in his body secreted some hormones that had aphrodisiac effects, which caused him to fall in love with Mi Jiang.
But what happened to her?
This woman obviously had the strength to subdue him in an instant, but she had no intention of resisting at all. She was panicking like an ordinary woman. What was even more incredible was that at that time, she was panting even more than Zhao Hongrun. Apparently, she was also
Moved.
The strange thing is that after being disturbed by Zongwei Lu Mu, when she pushed Zhao Hongrun away with all her strength, her eyes showed not only panic, but also a hint of anger and uneasiness.
It was her look that seemed to have been violated that made Zhao Hongrun feel inexplicably guilty.
What! It seems like it was my fault in the end...
Pouring his lips, Zhao Hongrun walked to the bed and lay down on it.
But for some reason, despite tossing and turning for a long time, he didn't feel sleepy at all.
What made him feel even more solemn was that at this moment, his heart was occupied by an idea that came out of nowhere. That idea prompted him to want to meet Mi Jiang.
This cannot be my true thoughts.
Zhao Hongrun knew this very well, because he knew that he had been avoiding Mi Jiang these days, so it was impossible for him to take the initiative to see her.
After ruling out this possibility, there is only one explanation left.
After raising the pillow, Zhao Hongrun looked down at the position of his heart and let out a long breath.
"You really spare no effort for your master... It's a pity that you picked the wrong person!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Hongrun changed into a comfortable position and lay down, and forcefully used the self-hypnosis method of counting sheep to fall asleep, forcing himself to fall into sleep. (To be continued.)
