Chapter 214 I Love You
Su Jingxun had already fallen asleep, but when Su Simeng came over, he still woke up, seeing her as if she had cried, and said: "Xiaomeng, what's wrong?"
"Brother is feeling better?" Su Simeng saw that his complexion was getting better, and asked quickly.
"It's better." Seeing that she had something to say, Su Jingxun only smiled and said, "We are brother and sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Su Simeng was very hesitant, if she told her brother the truth, she was worried that he would not be able to bear it, but the matter between Jiu'er and the prince could not be kept secret.
She looked at him hesitantly, and tentatively said: "Brother, if Jiu'er fell in love with someone else, would you let him go?"
The stone in Su Jingxun's heart was heavy again, he looked at Su Simeng's smile slightly faded, and said: "Are you worried that I will do something stupid?"
"only……"
"It's just that I like Jiu'er very much. She is my dream in this life, and the woman I love the most." Su Jingxun finished speaking for her, and it was also from her own heart.
Speaking of which, he probably guessed that Jiu'er had already fallen in love with someone else in a hazy he has never fought for it in his whole life. Wouldn't it be a pity if he let it go without trying once?Besides, no one can say for sure what will happen to Jiu'er if she follows others, but he knows himself, he will still hold Jiu'er in his palm and let her live a life of carefree life.
He smiled slightly, looked at his worried sister, and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart. Have I been an idiot for so many years?"
Su Simeng shook his head. He has been smart since he was a child, and he is the most restrained emotionally, so even though he loves wine to the bottom of his heart, he has never dared to express his feelings for fear of being rumored for wine over the years. it's too late.
"It's getting late, Xiaomeng, go back to sleep earlier." He could see the sadness in his sister's eyes, but he was not qualified to comfort him, since he obviously couldn't let it go, how could he tell his sister to let go of the love she had loved for ten years?
"Brother, even if there is no wine, you still have me." Su Simeng wiped away her tears, looked at his faintly pale face, then turned and left.
As soon as she left, Su Jingxun spat out a mouthful of blood.
He took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean, and then looked at his hands, thinking of the gentle touch when he touched the wine, thinking of her peaceful appearance when she was sleeping next to her just now, thinking of her shyness after kissing her just now, Only then did he finally smile slightly: "Jiu'er..."
Jiu'er didn't know his current situation at all, and sat on the edge of the roof with Su Jingxun, her feet dangled casually under the eaves, she smiled and looked ahead, even though it was a dark night, it was not scary at all, on the contrary, she carried a special feeling warmth.
"Xiao Jing, what will happen after I marry you?" Jiu'er asked him with a smile.
"It will be the same as now. If you want to stay in the capital, we will be in the capital. If you don't like the capital, we will go to travel the rivers and rivers, see all the beautiful scenery in the world, drink all the world's fine wines, and be unrestrained. If you want to settle down, we will Just go home, whether it's back to Beiyan or Daqi, we'll be together forever, forever, with children and grandchildren around our knees." Jiang Qijing looked at her deeply, and smiled softly.
After imagining what he said, Jiu'er raised the corners of her mouth high, looking into the distance with a bit of girlish shyness: "I don't know why, as long as I want to be with you, I can do whatever I want."
"Really?" Jiang Qijing looked at her profile, leaned over slightly, and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
Jiu'er's face became hot, and he turned his head to hide, but was caught by Jiang Qijing, who flew down from the roof and landed firmly in front of the door.
Seeing him hugging her sideways, Jiu'er smiled and thought he was going to play around with her, and said with a smile, "Where shall we play next?"
"It's time to go to bed." Jiang Qijing saw that she was still thinking about playing, and looked at her with a smile: "I always stay up at night, and I will get wrinkles."
"Wrinkles?" Jiu'er thought of Nanny Cui, bit her lips worriedly, and heard him laughing: "Don't worry, from now on, just sleep well, and it will be gone."
"really?"
"Of course, how could I lie to you."
"You lied to me last time that you have a small tail..."
Jiang Qijing: "..."
As soon as the next day dawned, Jiuer got up early, and asked someone to prepare the antidote elixir and melted it in water, and then asked someone to stew the soup and medicine and bring it to Su Jingxun.
Su Jingxun was sitting by the bed, but his complexion was still bad. The imperial doctor had just finished changing the medicine and left, so there was still a faint smell of blood and medicine in the room.
"Open the window to let in the wind." Jiu'er ordered as soon as he came over.
The maids immediately went to do it, but Su Jingxun looked at her, bent her eyes and smiled, today she changed into a long begonia-colored dress, with a jade-colored belt around her waist, and embroidered shoes of the same color, with black silk hanging behind her, Only a little bit of it was lifted into a flying fairy bun, with two golden tassel hairpins on each side, pink peach blossoms painted on the center of the eyebrows, and a plain tie, the whole person looked like a slender girl with fair skin Xue, her lips are spotless and red, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, maybe she just left in a hurry, with a little sweat on her forehead, when she gave instructions to the maids, her tone was brisk and lively.
"Jiu'er..." He looked at her and whispered after his mood improved a lot.
"Huh?" Jiu'er turned around, saw him, smiled, showing his white teeth, walked over lightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Xun, it's time to take medicine."
"Did you rest well last night?" He asked with a smile, without mentioning what Su Simeng said last night.
Jiu'er nodded: "Very good, I was worried about you early in the morning, so I came here, you feel better, if not, I'll ask the queen mother, she has very good medical skills..."
"No need." Su Jingxun shook his head with a smile, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "Would it be boring for you to stay here with me?"
"Xiao Xun also accompanied me like this before, I should accompany you." Jiu'er remembered these things clearly.
"Really?" Su Jingxun's eyes moved slightly, after drinking the medicine, he coughed a few times, Jiu'er quickly handed over water, he took the water, looked at her deeply, his eyes deepened, and said: "Jiu'er, You can't call me 'Xiao Xun' anymore."
Jiu'er was puzzled, but he smiled and said: "Firstly, you are a princess and I am a courtier; secondly, there is a difference between men and women; thirdly, I am several years older than you. If you refuse to call me Su Young master, you can call me 'Jing Xun'."
Jiu'er blinked, thought for a while, Huan Jingxun was fine, so he nodded.
Seeing her answer, Su Jingxun breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to slowly make her realize that he was not her brother or a simple friend, but a mature man who loved her deeply.
Soon, a few days passed, and Jiu'er stayed in the Hou's mansion, but Su Jingxun's condition showed no signs of improvement. Even the imperial doctor felt strange, but couldn't find the reason.
Early in the morning, it started to rain heavily outside, and after getting up early, Jiu'er stood on the porch watching the rain, feeling a little worried.
When Su Simeng came, she saw that she was looking at the rain with a worried face, and said with a smile: "Princess, what's the matter?"
"It's okay." Jiu'er shook his head, hiding the girl's thoughts and didn't tell her, just smiled: "Why are you here, I was going to see Xiao Xun... Jing Xun."
Su Simeng looked at her with a slight smile, in fact, she understood her thoughts, but she didn't mention the wine, she just said: "The prince and the little prince came together, and His Royal Highness Jiang Wang, I'm talking in the front hall, my father asked me to tell you."
When Jiu'er heard this, he quickly turned around and took an umbrella to go there, then Su Simeng said: "Princess, do you like His Royal Highness Jiang Wang?"
When Jiu'er heard the footsteps, a little blush rose on her face, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with liking someone.
She nodded frankly, then turned around and smiled at her: "Xiaojing is a very good person."
"Yeah, very good." Su Simeng slowly tightened her hanging hands, watched her smile, and then slowly let go. She walked to her side and smiled slightly: "It's just the princess, Xiao Meng Can I ask you one thing?"
"Okay, you can tell." Jiu'er smiled.
Su Si dreamed about these things, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "You have a place in your heart, can you tell brother later?"
When Jiu'er heard the words, he suddenly remembered what Su Jingxun had said, he said he loved himself.
She knew Su Simeng's worry, her smile faded slowly, and she said seriously: "For the sake of Jing Xun's safety, I won't tell him, but..." She hesitated for a moment, and then asked Su Simeng: "Is it true? Would it be better for me to go back to the palace? It also saves Jing Xun from misunderstanding. Although I didn’t understand love before, it’s not that I don’t understand everything. ?"
Although Su Simeng didn't want to admit it, it was true. If it continued, it would be bad for everyone.
She looked at Jiu'er who was seriously questioning herself, and envied her from the bottom of her heart that she could be so frank, so sincere, and so free from worrying about the city, so much so that she felt guilty when she came to see her with some care.
"Princess, after seeing my brother today, I said that something happened in the palace, so I should go back to the palace temporarily." Su Simeng smiled slightly.
Jiu'er smiled and nodded, then followed her to the front yard.
At that time, Putao was talking to Dingbeihou.
Marquis Dingbei was talking about his previous battles, and he was not interested when he heard it, but Putao was very serious, but he had never been on the battlefield, so Jiang Qijing was still able to chat with Marquis Dingbei, because as early as three years ago , he has already started leading troops.
The few people chatted happily, and they were bored waiting for the wine to come, and just thinking about it, they saw her coming.
"Miss Huang!" He immediately got up and ran over. Jiu'er saw that his sleeves were wet from the heavy rain, and nodded his head: "I am a doctor, so I should not be more careful. I turned around and caught the wind and cold." It's good to be stupid."
Liao curled his lips: "Sister Huang's mouth is not forgiving."
Jiu'er bent his eyes and smiled: "How could it be, Miss Huang loves you the most." After finishing speaking, he took out the pills he had hidden in his sleeve. The bottles containing the pills are all high-quality white jade bottles, so it can be seen that the pills in it are precious.
After she took it off, she stuffed it to Su Simeng who was at the side: "It must be for Jing Xun."
"Sister Huang bullies people." After pretending to be angry, Jiu'er understood, "I will give you the snow lotus tree my mother and queen gave me, so that you don't have to say that sister Huang doesn't love you."
After hearing the words, she was very satisfied, and naturally she quickly praised: "Sure enough, Miss Huang is the smartest and most beautiful princess in Daqi!"
Jiu'er raised his chin in cooperation.
Putao saw it and smiled warmly: "The number one thick-faced and mischievous princess, well-deserved of her reputation, true to her name!"
"Then there must be an equally outstanding brother Huang as a role model." Jiu'er hurriedly said.
"Where where..."
"you are welcome."
Brother and sister, you don’t let me and I don’t let you, completely forget that when you were young, the two soft and cute little buns praised each other as the cutest in the world.
Jiang Qijing sat on one side, watching Jiu'er come over with a faint smile, watching her bicker with bright eyes, watching her look so proud that her little tail was going up to the sky.
Dingbei Hou watched the excitement from the sidelines, and he was already used to the way of getting along with the princes and princesses in the royal family, and seeing them coming, he didn't want to stay any longer, he just stood up and said to Su Simeng with a smile: "Meng'er , How do you entertain the prince and prince."
"Yes." Su Simeng answered with downcast eyes, still not daring to go to Jiang Qijing.
After Dingbeihou left, Putao said: "Let's go and see Xiao Xun."
Everyone got up and went to Su Jingxun's yard together. Jiu'er and Jiang Qijing silently walked a few steps behind and walked side by side. Jiu'er felt that the heavy rain didn't seem to be bothersome anymore, but the patter was very pleasant.
Jiang Qijing's hand was lightly behind his back, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at her who was hiding a smile beside him, and laughed along with him.
"I heard that the rain in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and the misty rain is misty. If you float a small boat on the long river like ink, you can browse the poetic and picturesque south of the Yangtze River with an umbrella." He chuckled.
"Jiangnan is so beautiful?" Jiu'er looked at him curiously.
Jiang Qijing looked at her deeply, and smiled: "Beautiful."
"How beautiful?"
"You'll find out when you go." Jiang Qijing replied.
Jiu'er blinked, turned her head to look at the misty and rainy outside, when can she go, go to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery, to see this beautiful scenery.
Jiang Qijing looked at her expectant appearance, and said softly: "Not in time, I will take you to see them one by one in the future, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the desert in the north, the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River with Wu Nong's soft words, and the gold and iron horses in Mobei."
Just hearing what he said, Jiu'er had already outlined the beautiful scenery in her heart, she nodded with a smile.
Su Simeng walked ahead, in fact, when they deliberately took a step behind, she knew what they were doing.
She heard the laughter from behind, heard Jiang Qijing constantly playing tricks on Jiu'er, and watched him go to great lengths to make her happy, her eyes were slightly moist.
"Jiang Wang is a chic and free person, Xiaomeng, he is not suitable for you." Putao walked on the other side of her and said softly.
Su Simeng looked at the person who was obviously two years younger than her comforting herself, and finally smiled slightly: "I know, thank you, Prince."
Putao knew that she was open-minded, so she turned her head to look at Jiu'er who was happily talking to Jiang Qijing. This younger sister is really happy. Everyone is protecting her, including Su she is also worthy of these people's protection. Such a little girl deserves to be loved all her life.
Seeing him looking at her, Jiu'er hurriedly ran up with a smile and said, "Brother Huang, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, let's see if Her Royal Highness, the number one princess in Daqi, is walking so slowly, is she going to be snatched away by wild wolves." He glanced narrowly at Jiang Qijing, then turned and went into the room with a smile.
Jiu'er stopped slightly, but Jiang Qijing stepped forward and said with a light smile, "Wild wolves are also wolves who love little white rabbits, don't be afraid."
Jiu'er laughed out loud, "I'm a little white rabbit?"
"White enough." Jiang Qijing deliberately stopped to look at her, and saw her bright eyes looking at him expectantly with her small face raised, and she bent her eyes and smiled: "It's not a little white rabbit, it's also a little white pig."
"I want to be a little white wolf and eat you, a big wild wolf!" Jiu'er snorted, put his hands on his hips, tossed his hair triumphantly, and then walked in with his head held high.
Seeing how childish she was, Jiang Qijing rolled his eyes with a smile, and followed her in.
Only the one who didn't say a word stood at the door and thought about it carefully. Why does the relationship between these few people seem a little messy.
Su Jingxun was leaning on the bedside to read a book, but raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Jiang Qijing walking behind Jiu'er at a glance.
When the four eyes met, he could feel the slight smile in his eyes.
Su Jingxun just turned his head to look at Jiu'er, and smiled slightly: "I came so early today."
"Yeah, I woke up early on purpose today." Jiu'er said with a smile.
Putao also stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xun, are you feeling better?"
Su Jingxun smiled slightly: "It's better, thanks to the fact that Jiu'er has been around these few days..." He realized his deliberation, finally sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the little prince and Yu'er." Doctors come to visit from time to time."
"But your body is not well yet. I just asked my mother for a few pills today. You take them first. If you still don't feel better, your mother said to let you enter the palace. She will take a look." front road.
Su Jingxun looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, little prince, for still thinking about my minister."
Seeing how alienated he is now, I just thought that he has always been like this, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay."
As he said that, Su Jingxun coughed, and the handkerchief covering his mouth was also stained with blood.
After seeing it himself, he immediately clenched the veil tightly.
Others haven't noticed yet, but Su Simeng has noticed it.
She said calmly: "His Royal Highness, the smell of medicine is all over here, you should go to the flower hall first."
"Yeah." Putao is not a person who does not wink. Hearing this, he nodded and took the others out together. Jiang Qijing stayed behind when he left.
Jiang Qijing looked at the worried Su Simeng and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
Su Jingxun knew that he had something to tell him, so he also said to Su Simeng: "You go out first."
"But brother..." Su Simeng was very worried about what Jiang Qijing would say, Jiang Qijing just smiled and said: "Don't worry, he cares about this life wine very much, I won't take it."
Hearing this, Su Simeng looked at her elder brother who had a slightly gloomy face. After all, she went out with anxiety in her heart.
As soon as she left, Su Jingxun put down the book in his hand, turned his head and picked up the teacup and said softly, "You came to tell me, are you going to take the wine with you when you come to Daqi?"
Jiang Qijing smiled slightly: "You have always been clear about my purpose."
"Then how do you know I will let go?" Su Jingxun asked him coldly.
"Because you know Jiu'er, and you know me." Jiang Qijing looked at his face that was slowly turning pale, stepped forward and tapped his acupuncture points, and then raised his hand to rest on his veins. After a long while, he smiled slightly and said : "You didn't drink the medicine, so you are not afraid of losing your life because of it?"
"none of your business……"
"It's really none of my business, but it's about Jiu'er. She treats you as a friend, as a brother, and if you die, she must blame herself and regret it." After Jiang Qijing finished speaking, he turned around and found it. He poured out a pill from the medicine bottle, and after smelling it, he said with a smile: "The medicines that the empress gave you are extremely rare. Do you want to let her down?" A little earlier, when he opened his mouth in pain, he threw the pill into it.
Su Jingxun was forced to swallow the pill, his brows furrowed tightly, Jiang Qijing only said: "You are a man, if you have anything to say, just say it uprightly, Jiu'er doesn't have that much thought, she is very direct. And if you can bear this even No, do you still want to support her?"
Su Jingxun didn't speak, his heart seemed to be in pain, he could only clenched his hands tightly to prevent the pain from taking his life.
Jiang Qijing put his hand on his veins again, smiled, took a pill from his sleeve and gave it to him, then said: "Jiu'er is a pure child, she doesn't belong to anyone, she only belongs to herself. "After finishing speaking, without looking at him, he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Su Jingxun finally said, "What about you? Is your Prince Jiang's mansion better for her than my Dingbeihou's mansion just outside the palace?"
"What is Prince Jiang's Mansion?" Jiang Qijing smiled and walked away.
To him, Prince Jiang's Mansion was nothing but a temporary place to live, a place guarded by his grandfather, and the person who gave Jiu'er shelter would not be Prince Jiang's Mansion, but Jiang Qijing!
Su Jingxun watched him leave, with his unruly and self-confidence inadvertently revealed. He has been like this since he was a child, always confident and proud, and he is still a delicate heart, unlike himself. He is alienated and indifferent to everyone, just to protect his fragile heart. .
He lowered his eyes, and took out the jade pendant that was exactly the same as Jiu'er's from under the pillow, and after a while, he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.
In the afternoon, when the heavy rain stopped, the group of talents finally dispersed, and Jiang Qijing formally proposed marriage to Daqi's court in the name of King Jiang.
But it's not a marriage proposal, it's Jiang Qijing's proposal.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and it was the first time that people from the Xu family, the Lin family and the Yuan family gathered in the palace.
Jiu'er woke up early in the morning with a dazed expression on her face, only when she heard Xiaoli yelling that King Jiang came to propose marriage, she was delighted.
She got up from the bed and dressed up, soon Xiaoli came in, and seeing that she was not lying in bed, she smiled secretly: "It turns out that the princess asked the servant what is the relationship between a man and a woman, and it is so."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll marry you too." Jiu'er snorted at her, and Xiao Li hurried forward and said, "Okay, okay, it's the slave who talks too much, no matter what you say, you shouldn't know when the princess first fell in love, right?"
"Xiao Li, I'll make you into rock sugar pears and eat them!" Jiu'er threatened to catch her, when he heard a familiar voice from outside: "Who is going to eat the pears?"
"Auntie!" She looked happily, and saw Xu Zhaozhao came in with a big belly, and Wang Ruyan, who had a bigger belly, came in together.
Lin Dingan carefully supported her on one side, and Baozhu led her two daughters in. The older one was about seven or eight years old, and the younger one was only five or six years old. Both sisters were wearing neat long skirts with narrow sleeves, and their eyes looked like Baozhu's. , very big and bright, with a round bun, very cute, seeing Jiu'er, immediately came over to salute.
Jiu'er also liked them very much, when he saw them, he immediately asked, "Did you just come back from Mongolia recently?"
"Yeah, I just came back a few days ago, and I brought a lot of beef and mutton. I planned to come to the palace, but I lost my father's wine a few days ago, so I was busy helping him buy good wine, so I delayed my coming to the palace." The older girl is called Xu Jianjia, and the younger sister is called Xu Caiwei. They all have gentle and gentle names, but their personalities follow her mother's, Mongolian bright and generous style.
Speaking of Xu Chengqing's wine, Jiu'er was a little guilty, and comforted him with a smile, then got up and obediently called aunt, aunt and cousin.
Xu Zhaozhao was the most gossipy, so he sent Jian Jia and Cai Wei out to play together, and Lin Dingan was also kicked out, so he left the three of them staring at her and said, "Jiu'er, what is Jiang Xiaowang? what happened?"
"That's right, I remember that he used to come to the palace often, why is he here again now, to propose marriage?" Baozhu also asked curiously.
Wang Ruyan is calm, talented and beautiful, and she used to be a playmate with a compatible personality. Now that she is talented and beautiful, isn't it normal to have feelings for her?Moreover, this Little Prince Jiang had heard Mo Feng Mo Yue say a few words. He has a very good personality and is also smart. Although he is not as close as Su Jingxun, he is still a good home.
She paused, and said: "I heard that the eldest son of the Su family also came to propose marriage before, Jiu'er, do you want to choose one of the two?"
"Choose one?" Jiu'er suddenly remembered that he promised Su Simeng not to tell Su Jingxun about it for the time being.
Thinking of this, she got up and wanted to go out to stop her, but she was pulled back by Wang Ruyan, saying: "Since the matter has been discussed, you just need to choose according to your heart, now that you are old, you can't delay any longer." .”
Jiu'er sat down, thought for a while, and then looked at them and said, "Doesn't that just make a choice?"
"Of course, cut the mess quickly." Xu Zhaozhao said immediately.
Jiu'er nodded in agreement, and then asked them again: "I know, I will tell the queen mother now." She said firmly.
Seeing her recklessness, Baozhu laughed, "I'm more impulsive than I was before, Jiu'er, have you thought it through, it's a lifetime thing."
"Yes, what if we have to experience wind, frost, snow and rain when we are together? It is best to find someone who is stable." Xu Zhaozhao prefers Su Jingxun, because he is watching right in front of his eyes, and thinking about it later is not good for Jiuer Will not work.
"But if you don't like it, if you're together, your whole life will be as dull as water. Now Jiu'er may not understand love, but after she gets married, she will always understand." Wang Ruyan said.
Jiu'er looked at Wang Ruyan and asked her: "Auntie, if Jiu'er is happy when he sees him, feels happy when he is with him, and feels at ease when he thinks of him, can such a person be saved?" A person who has lived a lifetime?"
"Only you know." Wang Ruyan smiled slightly: "Being with him is not just about being happy."
"Then what else?"
"He loves you too." Wang Ruyan said, only if both parties have a strong love, can they be happy in the future, just like she and Jincheng, at the beginning it was their own attachment, and later changed his love, they can be happy Through so many wind and doesn't hope that Jiu'er's life will have the same ups and downs as her own, but she has to guard against it.
Hearing this, Jiu'er seemed to have decided on something, turned around and ran out.
The three looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
After Jiu'er left the palace, she went to find Jiang Qijing.
Jiang Qijing seemed to know that she was coming back, so he put a small boat on the lake in his yard, set up two booms, and prepared delicious food and wine. He didn't turn his head to smile at her until Jiu'er appeared out of breath, "Here we come."
"Xiao Jing, I want to ask you a question." Panting slightly, Jiu'er said, looking at the man sitting on the boat who looked a bit lazy and casual.
"Just ask."
"Do you love me?" Jiu'er panted slightly, but her heart beat fast.
Jiang Qijing didn't expect her to ask this, this silly girl, do you think you can prove something with just one sentence?
"Do you love me?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiu'er asked anxiously again.
Jiang Qijing put down his fishing rod, stood up, and looked seriously at the people on the shore: "I love you, I love you so much, I love you so much that I want to live and die with you in the same hole, the heaven and the earth are united, and I dare to die with you."
Jiu'er's palms tightened slightly, and she smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll marry you."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Qijing asked her, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"
"Then lie to me for the rest of my life, because I like you so much that I want to give you everything I have, the best roast goose, the best pear blossom stuffing, everything I like the most, and I will give it to you." Turning around and smiling brightly at him, he ran away again, this time it was Jiang Qijing who froze.
He raised his hand to touch his heart, the heartbeat was so fast that it was about to jump out, and it was so sweet that tears seemed to flow out.
His wine, it turned out to be such a girl who can talk about love.
He smiled slightly, looked at Jiu'er running away, and slightly bent his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Jiu'er is running out of breath again now, she is going to tell her father and mother that she is willing to marry Jiang Qijing, and go with him to see Misty Rain in the south of the Yangtze River, to see the desert in Northwest China, or, just in the small courtyard, to share West window candle.
When she hurried back to the palace to see her mother, she found that Su Jingxun, who was supposed to be seriously ill at home, was sitting in her mother's palace.
Su Simeng was also there, her eyes were slightly red, she looked like she had cried, but when she saw her coming, she quickly laughed: "Princess, you are here."
When Jiu'er saw Su Jingxun, for some reason, he felt a little timid.
Looking at her appearance, Lin Jinhua knew that this girl didn't have Su Jingxun in her heart.
"Wine."
"Mother's queen." Jiu'er hurriedly saluted, then nervously walked up to Su Jingxun, and said cautiously: "Jingxun, are you feeling better? I took the medicine given to you, have you taken all of it?"
Su Jingxun's heart ached even more when she saw how cautious she was talking to didn't know, he would rather she be willful, selfish, and tell everyone without hesitation that she fell in love with another her carefulness let him know that she was worried about herself, she still regarded him as her best friend, and he was also someone who could never occupy a place in her heart.
He hid the hurt in his heart, and looked at her with a gentle smile: "I told the empress, I want to walk with you alone, is that okay?"
Jiu'er turned to look at Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua said softly, "There is no one in the imperial garden now, so Xiao Xun can go for a walk, it will be good for his health. He is here to resign from the court."
"Please resign?" Jiu'er immediately turned to look at Su Jingxun, he just smiled gently: "Don't worry, I just ask to resign in the countryside to recuperate, and I will come back when the injury recovers." He smiled lightly.
Jiu'er looked at Su Simeng who was on the side, and saw that she nodded slightly towards him, so she nodded.
Su Jingxun was supported to go out, Jiu'er silently followed by the side, the two went straight to the plank road near the lake, and Su Jingxun sent the servants away.
He sat down leaning on a stool by the plank road, and the wind came from the lake, carrying the breath of late summer.
"It's so fast, in the blink of an eye, a summer is over." He smiled slightly.
"En." Jiu'er was still thinking about what to tell him, but he just looked at her and said with a smile, "It's decided?"
"Huh?" Jiu'er was surprised for a moment, immediately understood what he was talking about, nodded quickly, and then said: "Jing Xun, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"I know, I only blame myself, not you." Blame me for being too cautious, blame me for not protecting you well, blame me for not letting you know my intentions earlier.
Ten thousand times of regret in his heart, but regret can't change anything.
He knows how much he loves her, but just as Jiang Qijing said, he can't hurt her in the name of loving his wine is the happiest girl in the world.
After a while, he finally smiled and said, "I'm leaving soon, Jiu'er, I want you to promise me."
"Promise what?" Jiu'er asked him.
"Promise me, if you are unhappy in the future, if he betrays you and treats you badly, you must be the first to come to me, okay?" He didn't want Jiu'er to have an unhappy life, but in the dark part of his heart, He was looking forward to such a day, so that he could possess her legitimately, but his rationality made him only hope that she would live happily, and never have that day.
Jiu'er nodded, but she believed that Xiaojing would not do that.
Su Jingxun slowly supported the side of the corridor, stood up, looked at Jiu'er who guessed the height of her shoulders, and smiled slightly: "Can I hug you again?"
Jiu'er's footsteps wanted to move backwards, but he had already hugged her, gently, with a little medicinal fragrance in his arms, very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her, she could escape with just a little struggle.
She stood there without moving, she could hear his breathing, so she could only tell him softly: "Xiao Xun, I'm sorry."
Su Jingxun's tears slowly fell, after all, she still only regarded herself as her childhood playmate Xiaoxun, not a man who could be entrusted to her for life.
He hugged her tightly, hoping that time would stop at this moment, but time is like flowing water, and it will not be as desired after all.
When leaving, Su Jingxun didn't say anything, Jiu'er walked him all the way to the gate of the palace, watched him get into the carriage, and finally opened his mouth first: "Xiao Xun, I still like you as before, not a brother, but a true friend .”
Su Jingxun only felt a slight warmth in his numb heart.
He turned his head and looked at Jiu'er, who was always smiling at the gate of the palace, felt sad and sad for the first time, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I like you too, just like you like me." No, I love you, just like you love Jiang Qijing, that kind of love between men and women.
The carriage moved slowly, Jiu'er chased two steps forward, and finally stopped.
Su Jingxun also put down the car curtain, and from then on, she was very happy to be separated from each other.
In the carriage, Su Jingxun finally couldn't hold back, and spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the white robe he specially put on likes white clothes, as if they are spotless, but now that they are stained with blood, he knows that he will never have to wear these white clothes in the future, and his heart is stained with dust.
"Brother..." Su Simeng burst into tears, only supported him who was weak and pale, and choked up: "Why are you bothering, you still have to watch her get married in person, and you also need to know how happy she will be in the future?" Happiness, why bother to tell her so early that you are leaving, so that she cannot see you, and you cannot see her openly?"
"I have selfishness, and I want to try in the end to see if she has no feelings for me." Su Jingxun leaned on the side of the carriage with a weak smile, took her hand and smiled bitterly: "Xiaomeng, I am not as good as you. Sword cuts love, I'm just a fool."
"Brother, how do you know, I'm not a fool, as long as he is good, I feel at ease." She wiped away her tears, just when the carriage bumped, the curtain of the carriage was blown, blowing her tears away.
Hearing this, Su Jingxun looked at her, and she also looked at him, and they looked at each other and are people in their hearts that they can't let go of, but they all know that even if they can't let go, they have to hide it deep in their hearts, and they can never bring this thought out and put it on the surface.
The wind at the end of summer has brought a little coolness, blowing gently on people's bodies, as if to heal the scars on everyone's hearts and blow away all the darkness.
On the city wall, Lin Jinyu stood alone in a corner, watching Su Jingxun's carriage leave, watching the bustling capital city, watching the prosperity of Daqi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a floating dream, all sufferings are in the past after all, and will not continue to her daughter.
She thought, this must be God looking after her.
"It's windy on the walls."
A gentle voice came, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Huaiyan approaching slowly.
Ten years had only made his facial features more resolute and his eyes more approached slowly, handsome as a god, still made her feel her heart beat faster.
She smiled slightly: "The wind is so strong, how come the emperor is here, isn't he afraid of being blown away by the wind?"
"I'm worried that the queen will go away by the wind, leaving me alone." Zhao Huaiyan walked over, looked at her raised red lips, leaned over slightly and kissed her, and the guards on the tower turned sideways and closed their eyes automatically.
Lin Jinhua blushed slightly, but he only held her tightly around the waist and pushed her against the city wall, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The marriage between the prince and the princess will be prepared soon, is Hua'er going to prepare?" Have another one? Life is boring, with children to accompany, and chat to get by?"
Lin Jinhua glanced at him reproachfully: "Is this the city wall?"
"So what, this world belongs to me, can someone drive me away?" Zhao Huaiyan laughed, waved his hand, and the guards retreated knowingly, but Lin Jinhua's face turned even redder. Obviously nothing happened, but By doing this, Zhao Huaiyan made it clear that people would misunderstand her?
After everyone left, she gritted her teeth slightly and put her arms around his neck and said, "Huaiyan, it's cold here."
Zhao Huaiyan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go back to the palace."
Lin Jinhua secretly heaved a sigh of relief. How could it be possible to have another child?She can't wait to leave the palace to play, and she has decided that she will sneak away tonight!
(End of this chapter)
Su Jingxun had already fallen asleep, but when Su Simeng came over, he still woke up, seeing her as if she had cried, and said: "Xiaomeng, what's wrong?"
"Brother is feeling better?" Su Simeng saw that his complexion was getting better, and asked quickly.
"It's better." Seeing that she had something to say, Su Jingxun only smiled and said, "We are brother and sister, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Su Simeng was very hesitant, if she told her brother the truth, she was worried that he would not be able to bear it, but the matter between Jiu'er and the prince could not be kept secret.
She looked at him hesitantly, and tentatively said: "Brother, if Jiu'er fell in love with someone else, would you let him go?"
The stone in Su Jingxun's heart was heavy again, he looked at Su Simeng's smile slightly faded, and said: "Are you worried that I will do something stupid?"
"only……"
"It's just that I like Jiu'er very much. She is my dream in this life, and the woman I love the most." Su Jingxun finished speaking for her, and it was also from her own heart.
Speaking of which, he probably guessed that Jiu'er had already fallen in love with someone else in a hazy he has never fought for it in his whole life. Wouldn't it be a pity if he let it go without trying once?Besides, no one can say for sure what will happen to Jiu'er if she follows others, but he knows himself, he will still hold Jiu'er in his palm and let her live a life of carefree life.
He smiled slightly, looked at his worried sister, and said softly, "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart. Have I been an idiot for so many years?"
Su Simeng shook his head. He has been smart since he was a child, and he is the most restrained emotionally, so even though he loves wine to the bottom of his heart, he has never dared to express his feelings for fear of being rumored for wine over the years. it's too late.
"It's getting late, Xiaomeng, go back to sleep earlier." He could see the sadness in his sister's eyes, but he was not qualified to comfort him, since he obviously couldn't let it go, how could he tell his sister to let go of the love she had loved for ten years?
"Brother, even if there is no wine, you still have me." Su Simeng wiped away her tears, looked at his faintly pale face, then turned and left.
As soon as she left, Su Jingxun spat out a mouthful of blood.
He took out the handkerchief and wiped it clean, and then looked at his hands, thinking of the gentle touch when he touched the wine, thinking of her peaceful appearance when she was sleeping next to her just now, thinking of her shyness after kissing her just now, Only then did he finally smile slightly: "Jiu'er..."
Jiu'er didn't know his current situation at all, and sat on the edge of the roof with Su Jingxun, her feet dangled casually under the eaves, she smiled and looked ahead, even though it was a dark night, it was not scary at all, on the contrary, she carried a special feeling warmth.
"Xiao Jing, what will happen after I marry you?" Jiu'er asked him with a smile.
"It will be the same as now. If you want to stay in the capital, we will be in the capital. If you don't like the capital, we will go to travel the rivers and rivers, see all the beautiful scenery in the world, drink all the world's fine wines, and be unrestrained. If you want to settle down, we will Just go home, whether it's back to Beiyan or Daqi, we'll be together forever, forever, with children and grandchildren around our knees." Jiang Qijing looked at her deeply, and smiled softly.
After imagining what he said, Jiu'er raised the corners of her mouth high, looking into the distance with a bit of girlish shyness: "I don't know why, as long as I want to be with you, I can do whatever I want."
"Really?" Jiang Qijing looked at her profile, leaned over slightly, and lightly kissed her on the forehead.
Jiu'er's face became hot, and he turned his head to hide, but was caught by Jiang Qijing, who flew down from the roof and landed firmly in front of the door.
Seeing him hugging her sideways, Jiu'er smiled and thought he was going to play around with her, and said with a smile, "Where shall we play next?"
"It's time to go to bed." Jiang Qijing saw that she was still thinking about playing, and looked at her with a smile: "I always stay up at night, and I will get wrinkles."
"Wrinkles?" Jiu'er thought of Nanny Cui, bit her lips worriedly, and heard him laughing: "Don't worry, from now on, just sleep well, and it will be gone."
"really?"
"Of course, how could I lie to you."
"You lied to me last time that you have a small tail..."
Jiang Qijing: "..."
As soon as the next day dawned, Jiuer got up early, and asked someone to prepare the antidote elixir and melted it in water, and then asked someone to stew the soup and medicine and bring it to Su Jingxun.
Su Jingxun was sitting by the bed, but his complexion was still bad. The imperial doctor had just finished changing the medicine and left, so there was still a faint smell of blood and medicine in the room.
"Open the window to let in the wind." Jiu'er ordered as soon as he came over.
The maids immediately went to do it, but Su Jingxun looked at her, bent her eyes and smiled, today she changed into a long begonia-colored dress, with a jade-colored belt around her waist, and embroidered shoes of the same color, with black silk hanging behind her, Only a little bit of it was lifted into a flying fairy bun, with two golden tassel hairpins on each side, pink peach blossoms painted on the center of the eyebrows, and a plain tie, the whole person looked like a slender girl with fair skin Xue, her lips are spotless and red, her eyes are bright and her teeth are bright, maybe she just left in a hurry, with a little sweat on her forehead, when she gave instructions to the maids, her tone was brisk and lively.
"Jiu'er..." He looked at her and whispered after his mood improved a lot.
"Huh?" Jiu'er turned around, saw him, smiled, showing his white teeth, walked over lightly and said with a smile: "Xiao Xun, it's time to take medicine."
"Did you rest well last night?" He asked with a smile, without mentioning what Su Simeng said last night.
Jiu'er nodded: "Very good, I was worried about you early in the morning, so I came here, you feel better, if not, I'll ask the queen mother, she has very good medical skills..."
"No need." Su Jingxun shook his head with a smile, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "Would it be boring for you to stay here with me?"
"Xiao Xun also accompanied me like this before, I should accompany you." Jiu'er remembered these things clearly.
"Really?" Su Jingxun's eyes moved slightly, after drinking the medicine, he coughed a few times, Jiu'er quickly handed over water, he took the water, looked at her deeply, his eyes deepened, and said: "Jiu'er, You can't call me 'Xiao Xun' anymore."
Jiu'er was puzzled, but he smiled and said: "Firstly, you are a princess and I am a courtier; secondly, there is a difference between men and women; thirdly, I am several years older than you. If you refuse to call me Su Young master, you can call me 'Jing Xun'."
Jiu'er blinked, thought for a while, Huan Jingxun was fine, so he nodded.
Seeing her answer, Su Jingxun breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to slowly make her realize that he was not her brother or a simple friend, but a mature man who loved her deeply.
Soon, a few days passed, and Jiu'er stayed in the Hou's mansion, but Su Jingxun's condition showed no signs of improvement. Even the imperial doctor felt strange, but couldn't find the reason.
Early in the morning, it started to rain heavily outside, and after getting up early, Jiu'er stood on the porch watching the rain, feeling a little worried.
When Su Simeng came, she saw that she was looking at the rain with a worried face, and said with a smile: "Princess, what's the matter?"
"It's okay." Jiu'er shook his head, hiding the girl's thoughts and didn't tell her, just smiled: "Why are you here, I was going to see Xiao Xun... Jing Xun."
Su Simeng looked at her with a slight smile, in fact, she understood her thoughts, but she didn't mention the wine, she just said: "The prince and the little prince came together, and His Royal Highness Jiang Wang, I'm talking in the front hall, my father asked me to tell you."
When Jiu'er heard this, he quickly turned around and took an umbrella to go there, then Su Simeng said: "Princess, do you like His Royal Highness Jiang Wang?"
When Jiu'er heard the footsteps, a little blush rose on her face, but she felt that there was nothing wrong with liking someone.
She nodded frankly, then turned around and smiled at her: "Xiaojing is a very good person."
"Yeah, very good." Su Simeng slowly tightened her hanging hands, watched her smile, and then slowly let go. She walked to her side and smiled slightly: "It's just the princess, Xiao Meng Can I ask you one thing?"
"Okay, you can tell." Jiu'er smiled.
Su Si dreamed about these things, lowered his eyes slightly, and said, "You have a place in your heart, can you tell brother later?"
When Jiu'er heard the words, he suddenly remembered what Su Jingxun had said, he said he loved himself.
She knew Su Simeng's worry, her smile faded slowly, and she said seriously: "For the sake of Jing Xun's safety, I won't tell him, but..." She hesitated for a moment, and then asked Su Simeng: "Is it true? Would it be better for me to go back to the palace? It also saves Jing Xun from misunderstanding. Although I didn’t understand love before, it’s not that I don’t understand everything. ?"
Although Su Simeng didn't want to admit it, it was true. If it continued, it would be bad for everyone.
She looked at Jiu'er who was seriously questioning herself, and envied her from the bottom of her heart that she could be so frank, so sincere, and so free from worrying about the city, so much so that she felt guilty when she came to see her with some care.
"Princess, after seeing my brother today, I said that something happened in the palace, so I should go back to the palace temporarily." Su Simeng smiled slightly.
Jiu'er smiled and nodded, then followed her to the front yard.
At that time, Putao was talking to Dingbeihou.
Marquis Dingbei was talking about his previous battles, and he was not interested when he heard it, but Putao was very serious, but he had never been on the battlefield, so Jiang Qijing was still able to chat with Marquis Dingbei, because as early as three years ago , he has already started leading troops.
The few people chatted happily, and they were bored waiting for the wine to come, and just thinking about it, they saw her coming.
"Miss Huang!" He immediately got up and ran over. Jiu'er saw that his sleeves were wet from the heavy rain, and nodded his head: "I am a doctor, so I should not be more careful. I turned around and caught the wind and cold." It's good to be stupid."
Liao curled his lips: "Sister Huang's mouth is not forgiving."
Jiu'er bent his eyes and smiled: "How could it be, Miss Huang loves you the most." After finishing speaking, he took out the pills he had hidden in his sleeve. The bottles containing the pills are all high-quality white jade bottles, so it can be seen that the pills in it are precious.
After she took it off, she stuffed it to Su Simeng who was at the side: "It must be for Jing Xun."
"Sister Huang bullies people." After pretending to be angry, Jiu'er understood, "I will give you the snow lotus tree my mother and queen gave me, so that you don't have to say that sister Huang doesn't love you."
After hearing the words, she was very satisfied, and naturally she quickly praised: "Sure enough, Miss Huang is the smartest and most beautiful princess in Daqi!"
Jiu'er raised his chin in cooperation.
Putao saw it and smiled warmly: "The number one thick-faced and mischievous princess, well-deserved of her reputation, true to her name!"
"Then there must be an equally outstanding brother Huang as a role model." Jiu'er hurriedly said.
"Where where..."
"you are welcome."
Brother and sister, you don’t let me and I don’t let you, completely forget that when you were young, the two soft and cute little buns praised each other as the cutest in the world.
Jiang Qijing sat on one side, watching Jiu'er come over with a faint smile, watching her bicker with bright eyes, watching her look so proud that her little tail was going up to the sky.
Dingbei Hou watched the excitement from the sidelines, and he was already used to the way of getting along with the princes and princesses in the royal family, and seeing them coming, he didn't want to stay any longer, he just stood up and said to Su Simeng with a smile: "Meng'er , How do you entertain the prince and prince."
"Yes." Su Simeng answered with downcast eyes, still not daring to go to Jiang Qijing.
After Dingbeihou left, Putao said: "Let's go and see Xiao Xun."
Everyone got up and went to Su Jingxun's yard together. Jiu'er and Jiang Qijing silently walked a few steps behind and walked side by side. Jiu'er felt that the heavy rain didn't seem to be bothersome anymore, but the patter was very pleasant.
Jiang Qijing's hand was lightly behind his back, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at her who was hiding a smile beside him, and laughed along with him.
"I heard that the rain in the south of the Yangtze River is good, and the misty rain is misty. If you float a small boat on the long river like ink, you can browse the poetic and picturesque south of the Yangtze River with an umbrella." He chuckled.
"Jiangnan is so beautiful?" Jiu'er looked at him curiously.
Jiang Qijing looked at her deeply, and smiled: "Beautiful."
"How beautiful?"
"You'll find out when you go." Jiang Qijing replied.
Jiu'er blinked, turned her head to look at the misty and rainy outside, when can she go, go to Jiangnan to see the beautiful scenery, to see this beautiful scenery.
Jiang Qijing looked at her expectant appearance, and said softly: "Not in time, I will take you to see them one by one in the future, the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the desert in the north, the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River with Wu Nong's soft words, and the gold and iron horses in Mobei."
Just hearing what he said, Jiu'er had already outlined the beautiful scenery in her heart, she nodded with a smile.
Su Simeng walked ahead, in fact, when they deliberately took a step behind, she knew what they were doing.
She heard the laughter from behind, heard Jiang Qijing constantly playing tricks on Jiu'er, and watched him go to great lengths to make her happy, her eyes were slightly moist.
"Jiang Wang is a chic and free person, Xiaomeng, he is not suitable for you." Putao walked on the other side of her and said softly.
Su Simeng looked at the person who was obviously two years younger than her comforting herself, and finally smiled slightly: "I know, thank you, Prince."
Putao knew that she was open-minded, so she turned her head to look at Jiu'er who was happily talking to Jiang Qijing. This younger sister is really happy. Everyone is protecting her, including Su she is also worthy of these people's protection. Such a little girl deserves to be loved all her life.
Seeing him looking at her, Jiu'er hurriedly ran up with a smile and said, "Brother Huang, what's the matter?"
"It's okay, let's see if Her Royal Highness, the number one princess in Daqi, is walking so slowly, is she going to be snatched away by wild wolves." He glanced narrowly at Jiang Qijing, then turned and went into the room with a smile.
Jiu'er stopped slightly, but Jiang Qijing stepped forward and said with a light smile, "Wild wolves are also wolves who love little white rabbits, don't be afraid."
Jiu'er laughed out loud, "I'm a little white rabbit?"
"White enough." Jiang Qijing deliberately stopped to look at her, and saw her bright eyes looking at him expectantly with her small face raised, and she bent her eyes and smiled: "It's not a little white rabbit, it's also a little white pig."
"I want to be a little white wolf and eat you, a big wild wolf!" Jiu'er snorted, put his hands on his hips, tossed his hair triumphantly, and then walked in with his head held high.
Seeing how childish she was, Jiang Qijing rolled his eyes with a smile, and followed her in.
Only the one who didn't say a word stood at the door and thought about it carefully. Why does the relationship between these few people seem a little messy.
Su Jingxun was leaning on the bedside to read a book, but raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw Jiang Qijing walking behind Jiu'er at a glance.
When the four eyes met, he could feel the slight smile in his eyes.
Su Jingxun just turned his head to look at Jiu'er, and smiled slightly: "I came so early today."
"Yeah, I woke up early on purpose today." Jiu'er said with a smile.
Putao also stepped forward and said, "Xiao Xun, are you feeling better?"
Su Jingxun smiled slightly: "It's better, thanks to the fact that Jiu'er has been around these few days..." He realized his deliberation, finally sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Thanks to the little prince and Yu'er." Doctors come to visit from time to time."
"But your body is not well yet. I just asked my mother for a few pills today. You take them first. If you still don't feel better, your mother said to let you enter the palace. She will take a look." front road.
Su Jingxun looked at him gratefully: "Thank you, little prince, for still thinking about my minister."
Seeing how alienated he is now, I just thought that he has always been like this, and waved his hand with a smile: "It's okay."
As he said that, Su Jingxun coughed, and the handkerchief covering his mouth was also stained with blood.
After seeing it himself, he immediately clenched the veil tightly.
Others haven't noticed yet, but Su Simeng has noticed it.
She said calmly: "His Royal Highness, the smell of medicine is all over here, you should go to the flower hall first."
"Yeah." Putao is not a person who does not wink. Hearing this, he nodded and took the others out together. Jiang Qijing stayed behind when he left.
Jiang Qijing looked at the worried Su Simeng and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't hurt him."
Su Jingxun knew that he had something to tell him, so he also said to Su Simeng: "You go out first."
"But brother..." Su Simeng was very worried about what Jiang Qijing would say, Jiang Qijing just smiled and said: "Don't worry, he cares about this life wine very much, I won't take it."
Hearing this, Su Simeng looked at her elder brother who had a slightly gloomy face. After all, she went out with anxiety in her heart.
As soon as she left, Su Jingxun put down the book in his hand, turned his head and picked up the teacup and said softly, "You came to tell me, are you going to take the wine with you when you come to Daqi?"
Jiang Qijing smiled slightly: "You have always been clear about my purpose."
"Then how do you know I will let go?" Su Jingxun asked him coldly.
"Because you know Jiu'er, and you know me." Jiang Qijing looked at his face that was slowly turning pale, stepped forward and tapped his acupuncture points, and then raised his hand to rest on his veins. After a long while, he smiled slightly and said : "You didn't drink the medicine, so you are not afraid of losing your life because of it?"
"none of your business……"
"It's really none of my business, but it's about Jiu'er. She treats you as a friend, as a brother, and if you die, she must blame herself and regret it." After Jiang Qijing finished speaking, he turned around and found it. He poured out a pill from the medicine bottle, and after smelling it, he said with a smile: "The medicines that the empress gave you are extremely rare. Do you want to let her down?" A little earlier, when he opened his mouth in pain, he threw the pill into it.
Su Jingxun was forced to swallow the pill, his brows furrowed tightly, Jiang Qijing only said: "You are a man, if you have anything to say, just say it uprightly, Jiu'er doesn't have that much thought, she is very direct. And if you can bear this even No, do you still want to support her?"
Su Jingxun didn't speak, his heart seemed to be in pain, he could only clenched his hands tightly to prevent the pain from taking his life.
Jiang Qijing put his hand on his veins again, smiled, took a pill from his sleeve and gave it to him, then said: "Jiu'er is a pure child, she doesn't belong to anyone, she only belongs to herself. "After finishing speaking, without looking at him, he turned and left.
As soon as he left, Su Jingxun finally said, "What about you? Is your Prince Jiang's mansion better for her than my Dingbeihou's mansion just outside the palace?"
"What is Prince Jiang's Mansion?" Jiang Qijing smiled and walked away.
To him, Prince Jiang's Mansion was nothing but a temporary place to live, a place guarded by his grandfather, and the person who gave Jiu'er shelter would not be Prince Jiang's Mansion, but Jiang Qijing!
Su Jingxun watched him leave, with his unruly and self-confidence inadvertently revealed. He has been like this since he was a child, always confident and proud, and he is still a delicate heart, unlike himself. He is alienated and indifferent to everyone, just to protect his fragile heart. .
He lowered his eyes, and took out the jade pendant that was exactly the same as Jiu'er's from under the pillow, and after a while, he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath.
In the afternoon, when the heavy rain stopped, the group of talents finally dispersed, and Jiang Qijing formally proposed marriage to Daqi's court in the name of King Jiang.
But it's not a marriage proposal, it's Jiang Qijing's proposal.
All of a sudden, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and it was the first time that people from the Xu family, the Lin family and the Yuan family gathered in the palace.
Jiu'er woke up early in the morning with a dazed expression on her face, only when she heard Xiaoli yelling that King Jiang came to propose marriage, she was delighted.
She got up from the bed and dressed up, soon Xiaoli came in, and seeing that she was not lying in bed, she smiled secretly: "It turns out that the princess asked the servant what is the relationship between a man and a woman, and it is so."
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll marry you too." Jiu'er snorted at her, and Xiao Li hurried forward and said, "Okay, okay, it's the slave who talks too much, no matter what you say, you shouldn't know when the princess first fell in love, right?"
"Xiao Li, I'll make you into rock sugar pears and eat them!" Jiu'er threatened to catch her, when he heard a familiar voice from outside: "Who is going to eat the pears?"
"Auntie!" She looked happily, and saw Xu Zhaozhao came in with a big belly, and Wang Ruyan, who had a bigger belly, came in together.
Lin Dingan carefully supported her on one side, and Baozhu led her two daughters in. The older one was about seven or eight years old, and the younger one was only five or six years old. Both sisters were wearing neat long skirts with narrow sleeves, and their eyes looked like Baozhu's. , very big and bright, with a round bun, very cute, seeing Jiu'er, immediately came over to salute.
Jiu'er also liked them very much, when he saw them, he immediately asked, "Did you just come back from Mongolia recently?"
"Yeah, I just came back a few days ago, and I brought a lot of beef and mutton. I planned to come to the palace, but I lost my father's wine a few days ago, so I was busy helping him buy good wine, so I delayed my coming to the palace." The older girl is called Xu Jianjia, and the younger sister is called Xu Caiwei. They all have gentle and gentle names, but their personalities follow her mother's, Mongolian bright and generous style.
Speaking of Xu Chengqing's wine, Jiu'er was a little guilty, and comforted him with a smile, then got up and obediently called aunt, aunt and cousin.
Xu Zhaozhao was the most gossipy, so he sent Jian Jia and Cai Wei out to play together, and Lin Dingan was also kicked out, so he left the three of them staring at her and said, "Jiu'er, what is Jiang Xiaowang? what happened?"
"That's right, I remember that he used to come to the palace often, why is he here again now, to propose marriage?" Baozhu also asked curiously.
Wang Ruyan is calm, talented and beautiful, and she used to be a playmate with a compatible personality. Now that she is talented and beautiful, isn't it normal to have feelings for her?Moreover, this Little Prince Jiang had heard Mo Feng Mo Yue say a few words. He has a very good personality and is also smart. Although he is not as close as Su Jingxun, he is still a good home.
She paused, and said: "I heard that the eldest son of the Su family also came to propose marriage before, Jiu'er, do you want to choose one of the two?"
"Choose one?" Jiu'er suddenly remembered that he promised Su Simeng not to tell Su Jingxun about it for the time being.
Thinking of this, she got up and wanted to go out to stop her, but she was pulled back by Wang Ruyan, saying: "Since the matter has been discussed, you just need to choose according to your heart, now that you are old, you can't delay any longer." .”
Jiu'er sat down, thought for a while, and then looked at them and said, "Doesn't that just make a choice?"
"Of course, cut the mess quickly." Xu Zhaozhao said immediately.
Jiu'er nodded in agreement, and then asked them again: "I know, I will tell the queen mother now." She said firmly.
Seeing her recklessness, Baozhu laughed, "I'm more impulsive than I was before, Jiu'er, have you thought it through, it's a lifetime thing."
"Yes, what if we have to experience wind, frost, snow and rain when we are together? It is best to find someone who is stable." Xu Zhaozhao prefers Su Jingxun, because he is watching right in front of his eyes, and thinking about it later is not good for Jiuer Will not work.
"But if you don't like it, if you're together, your whole life will be as dull as water. Now Jiu'er may not understand love, but after she gets married, she will always understand." Wang Ruyan said.
Jiu'er looked at Wang Ruyan and asked her: "Auntie, if Jiu'er is happy when he sees him, feels happy when he is with him, and feels at ease when he thinks of him, can such a person be saved?" A person who has lived a lifetime?"
"Only you know." Wang Ruyan smiled slightly: "Being with him is not just about being happy."
"Then what else?"
"He loves you too." Wang Ruyan said, only if both parties have a strong love, can they be happy in the future, just like she and Jincheng, at the beginning it was their own attachment, and later changed his love, they can be happy Through so many wind and doesn't hope that Jiu'er's life will have the same ups and downs as her own, but she has to guard against it.
Hearing this, Jiu'er seemed to have decided on something, turned around and ran out.
The three looked at each other and smiled helplessly.
After Jiu'er left the palace, she went to find Jiang Qijing.
Jiang Qijing seemed to know that she was coming back, so he put a small boat on the lake in his yard, set up two booms, and prepared delicious food and wine. He didn't turn his head to smile at her until Jiu'er appeared out of breath, "Here we come."
"Xiao Jing, I want to ask you a question." Panting slightly, Jiu'er said, looking at the man sitting on the boat who looked a bit lazy and casual.
"Just ask."
"Do you love me?" Jiu'er panted slightly, but her heart beat fast.
Jiang Qijing didn't expect her to ask this, this silly girl, do you think you can prove something with just one sentence?
"Do you love me?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Jiu'er asked anxiously again.
Jiang Qijing put down his fishing rod, stood up, and looked seriously at the people on the shore: "I love you, I love you so much, I love you so much that I want to live and die with you in the same hole, the heaven and the earth are united, and I dare to die with you."
Jiu'er's palms tightened slightly, and she smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll marry you."
After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to leave, but Jiang Qijing asked her, "Aren't you afraid that I'll lie to you?"
"Then lie to me for the rest of my life, because I like you so much that I want to give you everything I have, the best roast goose, the best pear blossom stuffing, everything I like the most, and I will give it to you." Turning around and smiling brightly at him, he ran away again, this time it was Jiang Qijing who froze.
He raised his hand to touch his heart, the heartbeat was so fast that it was about to jump out, and it was so sweet that tears seemed to flow out.
His wine, it turned out to be such a girl who can talk about love.
He smiled slightly, looked at Jiu'er running away, and slightly bent his eyes: "Don't worry, I won't lie to you."
Jiu'er is running out of breath again now, she is going to tell her father and mother that she is willing to marry Jiang Qijing, and go with him to see Misty Rain in the south of the Yangtze River, to see the desert in Northwest China, or, just in the small courtyard, to share West window candle.
When she hurried back to the palace to see her mother, she found that Su Jingxun, who was supposed to be seriously ill at home, was sitting in her mother's palace.
Su Simeng was also there, her eyes were slightly red, she looked like she had cried, but when she saw her coming, she quickly laughed: "Princess, you are here."
When Jiu'er saw Su Jingxun, for some reason, he felt a little timid.
Looking at her appearance, Lin Jinhua knew that this girl didn't have Su Jingxun in her heart.
"Wine."
"Mother's queen." Jiu'er hurriedly saluted, then nervously walked up to Su Jingxun, and said cautiously: "Jingxun, are you feeling better? I took the medicine given to you, have you taken all of it?"
Su Jingxun's heart ached even more when she saw how cautious she was talking to didn't know, he would rather she be willful, selfish, and tell everyone without hesitation that she fell in love with another her carefulness let him know that she was worried about herself, she still regarded him as her best friend, and he was also someone who could never occupy a place in her heart.
He hid the hurt in his heart, and looked at her with a gentle smile: "I told the empress, I want to walk with you alone, is that okay?"
Jiu'er turned to look at Lin Jinhua, Lin Jinhua said softly, "There is no one in the imperial garden now, so Xiao Xun can go for a walk, it will be good for his health. He is here to resign from the court."
"Please resign?" Jiu'er immediately turned to look at Su Jingxun, he just smiled gently: "Don't worry, I just ask to resign in the countryside to recuperate, and I will come back when the injury recovers." He smiled lightly.
Jiu'er looked at Su Simeng who was on the side, and saw that she nodded slightly towards him, so she nodded.
Su Jingxun was supported to go out, Jiu'er silently followed by the side, the two went straight to the plank road near the lake, and Su Jingxun sent the servants away.
He sat down leaning on a stool by the plank road, and the wind came from the lake, carrying the breath of late summer.
"It's so fast, in the blink of an eye, a summer is over." He smiled slightly.
"En." Jiu'er was still thinking about what to tell him, but he just looked at her and said with a smile, "It's decided?"
"Huh?" Jiu'er was surprised for a moment, immediately understood what he was talking about, nodded quickly, and then said: "Jing Xun, I didn't mean to hide it from you..."
"I know, I only blame myself, not you." Blame me for being too cautious, blame me for not protecting you well, blame me for not letting you know my intentions earlier.
Ten thousand times of regret in his heart, but regret can't change anything.
He knows how much he loves her, but just as Jiang Qijing said, he can't hurt her in the name of loving his wine is the happiest girl in the world.
After a while, he finally smiled and said, "I'm leaving soon, Jiu'er, I want you to promise me."
"Promise what?" Jiu'er asked him.
"Promise me, if you are unhappy in the future, if he betrays you and treats you badly, you must be the first to come to me, okay?" He didn't want Jiu'er to have an unhappy life, but in the dark part of his heart, He was looking forward to such a day, so that he could possess her legitimately, but his rationality made him only hope that she would live happily, and never have that day.
Jiu'er nodded, but she believed that Xiaojing would not do that.
Su Jingxun slowly supported the side of the corridor, stood up, looked at Jiu'er who guessed the height of her shoulders, and smiled slightly: "Can I hug you again?"
Jiu'er's footsteps wanted to move backwards, but he had already hugged her, gently, with a little medicinal fragrance in his arms, very gentle, as if he was afraid of hurting her, she could escape with just a little struggle.
She stood there without moving, she could hear his breathing, so she could only tell him softly: "Xiao Xun, I'm sorry."
Su Jingxun's tears slowly fell, after all, she still only regarded herself as her childhood playmate Xiaoxun, not a man who could be entrusted to her for life.
He hugged her tightly, hoping that time would stop at this moment, but time is like flowing water, and it will not be as desired after all.
When leaving, Su Jingxun didn't say anything, Jiu'er walked him all the way to the gate of the palace, watched him get into the carriage, and finally opened his mouth first: "Xiao Xun, I still like you as before, not a brother, but a true friend .”
Su Jingxun only felt a slight warmth in his numb heart.
He turned his head and looked at Jiu'er, who was always smiling at the gate of the palace, felt sad and sad for the first time, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "I like you too, just like you like me." No, I love you, just like you love Jiang Qijing, that kind of love between men and women.
The carriage moved slowly, Jiu'er chased two steps forward, and finally stopped.
Su Jingxun also put down the car curtain, and from then on, she was very happy to be separated from each other.
In the carriage, Su Jingxun finally couldn't hold back, and spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the white robe he specially put on likes white clothes, as if they are spotless, but now that they are stained with blood, he knows that he will never have to wear these white clothes in the future, and his heart is stained with dust.
"Brother..." Su Simeng burst into tears, only supported him who was weak and pale, and choked up: "Why are you bothering, you still have to watch her get married in person, and you also need to know how happy she will be in the future?" Happiness, why bother to tell her so early that you are leaving, so that she cannot see you, and you cannot see her openly?"
"I have selfishness, and I want to try in the end to see if she has no feelings for me." Su Jingxun leaned on the side of the carriage with a weak smile, took her hand and smiled bitterly: "Xiaomeng, I am not as good as you. Sword cuts love, I'm just a fool."
"Brother, how do you know, I'm not a fool, as long as he is good, I feel at ease." She wiped away her tears, just when the carriage bumped, the curtain of the carriage was blown, blowing her tears away.
Hearing this, Su Jingxun looked at her, and she also looked at him, and they looked at each other and are people in their hearts that they can't let go of, but they all know that even if they can't let go, they have to hide it deep in their hearts, and they can never bring this thought out and put it on the surface.
The wind at the end of summer has brought a little coolness, blowing gently on people's bodies, as if to heal the scars on everyone's hearts and blow away all the darkness.
On the city wall, Lin Jinyu stood alone in a corner, watching Su Jingxun's carriage leave, watching the bustling capital city, watching the prosperity of Daqi, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, a floating dream, all sufferings are in the past after all, and will not continue to her daughter.
She thought, this must be God looking after her.
"It's windy on the walls."
A gentle voice came, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhao Huaiyan approaching slowly.
Ten years had only made his facial features more resolute and his eyes more approached slowly, handsome as a god, still made her feel her heart beat faster.
She smiled slightly: "The wind is so strong, how come the emperor is here, isn't he afraid of being blown away by the wind?"
"I'm worried that the queen will go away by the wind, leaving me alone." Zhao Huaiyan walked over, looked at her raised red lips, leaned over slightly and kissed her, and the guards on the tower turned sideways and closed their eyes automatically.
Lin Jinhua blushed slightly, but he only held her tightly around the waist and pushed her against the city wall, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "The marriage between the prince and the princess will be prepared soon, is Hua'er going to prepare?" Have another one? Life is boring, with children to accompany, and chat to get by?"
Lin Jinhua glanced at him reproachfully: "Is this the city wall?"
"So what, this world belongs to me, can someone drive me away?" Zhao Huaiyan laughed, waved his hand, and the guards retreated knowingly, but Lin Jinhua's face turned even redder. Obviously nothing happened, but By doing this, Zhao Huaiyan made it clear that people would misunderstand her?
After everyone left, she gritted her teeth slightly and put her arms around his neck and said, "Huaiyan, it's cold here."
Zhao Huaiyan smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go back to the palace."
Lin Jinhua secretly heaved a sigh of relief. How could it be possible to have another child?She can't wait to leave the palace to play, and she has decided that she will sneak away tonight!
