Chapter 41 Fault
After nightfall, the palace was shining with stars, and the stone lamps on the roadside flickered with faint candlelight one after another. Because of the arrival of the second prince Su Ri, the Habayashi Army patrolling was several times denser than usual.
Jiang Sui went out for a while, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Is Imperial Doctor Shen already here?"
The maid nodded, "I'm waiting for you in the Wenhua Palace."
Jiang Sui's expression was dull, he didn't want to see Shen Jijin's half-smile, hanging pot to help the world.
Rubbing his stomach, he coughed lightly, "I'm full, let's go to the Imperial Garden."
Seeing this, the maid smiled knowingly, and followed him towards the imperial garden.
Anyone with eyes can tell that the regent at the banquet is pretending to be sick, and the maid is not stupid, she just ran out to invite Shen Jijin here just for the sake of acting.Since Jiang Sui wanted to hang out with imperial physician Shen, as Jiang Sui's personal maid, she naturally couldn't spoil the scenery at this time.
A master and a servant walked forward slowly, just passed the Wenhua Palace, and hadn't gone five or six steps, when suddenly, there was the sound of small and fast footsteps, and the distance was getting closer and closer to him.
There is no owner in the harem, and the eunuchs and maids all follow the rules. Unless they die, they can't do things like sneaking close to the regent at night.
Jiang Sui's reaction was fast enough, but the maid beside him was faster than him. She tensed up all over and quickly blocked Jiang Sui behind her. She flipped her wrist lightly, and a not-so-clear cold light appeared under her sleeves. , Immediately afterwards, she yelled: "Who!"
Jiang Sui's attention was instantly attracted by the palace maid, he looked at the peaceful palace maid in amazement, and forgot to look at who it was.
Yong Shan was also taken aback by the maid, she got out from the bushes, lingered on the spot, not daring to go forward, "...it's me."
Seeing Niong Shan, the court lady was dumbfounded. She still kept a glaring look on her face. It was obvious that the regent had already seen it. Before she could save her expression, she could only stiffen her body and push the hidden weapon in her palm back into her sleeve little by little. .
Seeing her movement, Jiang Sui's mouth twitched, he turned his head and turned his attention to Yongshan, "Master, why are you here?"
Niang Shan opened her mouth, but did not make a sound, she looked at the maid hesitantly.
The palace maid was eager to get out of Jiang Sui's field of vision as soon as possible, and when she saw this, she immediately backed away, more than a foot away, the conversation between them should not be heard from this distance, so Nong Shan heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Sui stood vertically in place, looking at Yongshan silently, probably because his behavior today was too abnormal, or maybe because he was keenly aware of the faint fear and nervousness of the girl in front of him, so, He didn't urge her, but just looked at her gently, encouraged her with his eyes, and said what he wanted to say.
Combined with what happened just now, Jiang Sui can easily figure out what exactly Niangshan is afraid of. Although Niongshan always gives him a headache, no matter what, Niangshan is the county lord of the Wei Dynasty, and he is also the one who witnessed it with his own eyes. Watching the little girl grow up, he will always protect her in front of outsiders.
Running all the way, Niang Shan didn't think about the consequences at all, maybe her mother would be furious, maybe His Majesty would punish her again, she didn't want to think about these things.Ever since she left the banquet, her heart had been hanging high in the air, and the feeling of weightlessness was very uncomfortable, as if she would fall down hard the next moment and shatter into mud.
But after Jiang Sui stared at him with that kind of eyes, that feeling disappeared.
In an instant, the heart landed safely and began to beat steadily again.
Even those difficult words seemed to be less scary.
"I……"
Niang Shan tried his best to calm down his mind, and after making a sound, the rest went much smoother.
"I don't want to make a kiss."
Jiang Sui waited patiently for a long time, finally waited for this sentence, he lightly raised the corners of his lips, just about to comfort Yong Shan, when suddenly, he heard her say the second sentence.
"I don't want you to go and kiss either."
Jiang Sui: "..."
Damn second prince.
Rubbing his forehead helplessly, Jiang Sui said tiredly, "I won't go for a kiss."
Never thought that he could say such a sentence in his life, it was too ridiculous.
When Yong Shan heard it, she pursed her lips, "I know."
Jiang Sui laughed, "Since you know, why are you still talking about this? Could it be that the county lord is here to make fun of the king?"
"No!" Yong Shan's voice suddenly rose, and she was eager to defend herself, but she knew in her heart that it was not surprising that Jiang Sui would have such thoughts, whoever let her in the past leave behind Jiang Sui It's a bad impression. It's not an exaggeration to say that she came here to gloat and add insult to injury.
Jiang Sui actually didn't think much about it, he just said something casually, but he didn't expect such a big reaction from Nong Shan, he stared blankly at Nong Shan, who froze, and slowly lowered his head.
Her voice was very soft, a little fragile, and with some incomprehensible grievances, "I just want to tell you these few words."
"I don't want to get married, and I don't want you to, because... I don't want to marry someone else, and I don't want you to marry someone else."
The more she spoke, the weaker her voice became. In the end, she almost lost her voice. She lowered her head deeply, and her eyes were already red.
She knew that Jiang Sui didn't like her, but she cried, not because of this, but because she felt so ashamed of herself.
Likes a person, but brings countless troubles to that person; vows that she will marry that person, but she doesn't even have the courage to tell the truth and fight for herself; now she finally mustered up the courage, but She just said a sentence, but she couldn't continue, as if something was stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to say the most important next sentence.
There is no one more failure than her.
Just when she was about to give up on herself, she suddenly heard Jiang Sui's clear voice resounding above her head.
"Yongshan, do you like me?"
Surprisingly, Jiang Sui's voice was very calm, startled, Nong Shan raised her head, there was water in her eyes, she looked pitiful, she pursed her lips, and Nong Shan nodded.
Before Wei Xun told Jiang Sui that the eldest princess wanted to match him with Yongshan, but he didn't mention what Niongshan had in mind, so Jiang Sui naturally thought that this was what the eldest princess wanted, and that Yongshan didn't know about it.Now that Niang Shan ran in front of him recklessly, he realized that there was a hidden story here.
The eldest princess didn't think he was a good son-in-law, it's just that her daughter was tempted, and she had to make arrangements for her.
Niang Shan had imagined many kinds of Jiang Sui's reactions, being frightened and dumbfounded was the situation she had thought about the most, besides that, she could not help but be overjoyed, become angry from embarrassment, etc., but she never imagined that Jiang Sui would be so Calm, as if he knew in advance.
No, he didn't know in advance, he just... didn't care about it.
Thinking of this, Ningshan suddenly choked up and said, "I'm sorry."
Jiang Sui didn't understand, "I'm sorry for what?"
Yong Shan burst into tears, "I didn't mean to be so bad to you before, I... I thought you wouldn't mind, I'm sorry, I was too selfish and didn't consider your feelings."
Jiang Sui wanted to laugh, but he held back, sighed softly, and said, "It seems that you already know what answer I will give you."
Yong Shan wiped her tears and nodded indiscriminately. She was crying miserably. If someone passed by without knowing it, they might think that the Prince Regent was bullying a young girl.
"I know, you, you don't need to say it, really...don't, don't say it."
Seeing that her sleeves were all wet, Jiang Sui felt a headache and wanted to laugh, so he shook his head, but he still didn't step forward, and still stood straight where he was, without any intention of persuading her.
After brewing for a while, Jiang Suicai said earnestly, "Brewing kindness."
Since she was seven years old, Niang Shan hadn't heard the regent speak to herself in such a gentle and loving voice. She seemed to be treated like a child, and she didn't hate this feeling.
He hurriedly wiped his eye sockets, and after drying, he raised his head obediently, waiting for Jiang Sui's next words.
"The love between a man and a woman is a very complicated emotion. I don't like you, not because you treated me badly in the past."
Yong Shan blinked blankly, and said in a strong nasal voice: "Then...why don't you like me?"
Jiang Sui slightly frowned, "Whoever says I don't like you, the problem must be with you."
"Could it be me? I don't like you because I have bad eyesight, because I have strange aesthetics, and because I have lived for so many years, but I still haven't learned how to appreciate a beautiful, cute, and innocent girl."
Niang Shan froze on the spot, even forgot to cry, Jiang Sui looked at her stupid look, this time he couldn't bear it anymore, he laughed, paused for a while, and continued: "Your life is still long, in the future you will You will meet more people, some of them will like you, some of them will not like you, and for the latter, no matter what they say to you, you have to remember that it is not necessarily your fault."
"This is even more so between men and women. Don't force it, and don't put the blame on yourself."
Niong Shan looked up at Jiang Sui. In fact, his words did not change his mind much. After all, she was still young, and she could only hear some words with a half-knowledge. As she gets older, she will understand what Jiang Sui really meant today.At this moment, she could only think of one thing.
That is, the difference between her and Jiang Sui is not even one star.
Jiang Sui is a mature adult, but she is still a child who will cry if she doesn't get it. She used to know that there was a gap between her and Jiang Sui, but today, she realized how deep and far the gap is.
Ning Shan bowed his head, grabbed his drenched sleeve, and said sullenly, "I understand."
It's good to understand, Jiang Sui breathed out, called the maid who had been pretending to be dead, and asked the maid to send Niang Shan back, while he gave up the trip to the Imperial Garden and went straight back to the Wenhua Palace.
When he returned to the Wenhua Palace, he remembered that Imperial Physician Shen was still there, and sent away Imperial Physician Shen and his medicine boy. Jiang Sui lay down on the bed exhausted, not even bothering to take off his clothes.
This night, he was more tired than he usually worked overtime for ten consecutive days, mainly because his heart was tired, and then his head was tired.Lie lifeless for a while, Jiang Sui struggled to sit up, changed his clothes, took off his coat, he hung up his coat while thinking about tonight, midway, his eyes fell on the antique rack behind superior.
In the second small grid in the third row, there was originally an underglaze vase, but now it has become a small silver dowry.
Staring at the extraordinarily delicate dowry, Jiang Sui slowly thought of a word.
Not so evil...
