Chapter 155
Xiao Bei said, “His Highness is not accustomed to outsiders serving, call all your people to go, leave this place to the royal guards.”
Zhuang head see their own attentiveness did not please good, can only be snappy, promised to go.
I didn’t expect Rong Xiangxian to say: “Where did you find the girl?”
It was dark, that Zhuangtou did not see a woman, once heard the voice, I thought it was probably the princess?
He was so scared that he turned around and knelt on the ground, “I didn’t know that Your Highness had arrived, please punish Her Highness.”
Mr. Rong asked, “How many villages and how many people are under the jurisdiction of this manor?”
The head of the manor honestly replied, “There are nine villages underneath, totaling a thousand people.”
“Have the tenant farmers in the villages ever sold their daughters to you?”
“No. I was confused and blinded by grease, I shouldn’t have let a woman get close to His Highness Yul Wang, Your Highness, please forgive me. ……”
Rong Xiangmian laughed coldly: “The other person’s daughter has not been sold to you, why do you ask her to accompany a group of gentlemen to drink? Even if it’s a girl from a commoner’s house, she is also a girl whose parents are pampered and spoiled, and you dare to treat her as a woman in a brothel just because you are in charge of this manor? How many times have you done this?”
The head of the manor was so scared that he kowtowed, “I don’t dare to, I just want to find a few smart girls to serve His Highness, but I have never done anything like that, please be clear about it, Your Highness.”
Knowing that she was angry, Zhou Xian Yang said, “It’s not a big deal, just don’t do it again. You guys go back, don’t publicize it everywhere, we came for private service, we don’t want everyone to know about it.”
The banker kowtowed again and again, and went down with fear and trembling.
Only then did Zhou Xian Yang pacify Xiangmian: “There are a lot of problems in this manor, and it’s too late in the day to pursue them. For the time being, let’s stabilize him and settle the score tomorrow.”
Because of this, Rong Xiangmian good mood of the day are gone, directly back to the house assigned to her.
Feiyun put in the manor prepared meals, opened a small a few. The dog in the manor is seen, fed every dish, and tried one by one, before serving it into the house, so that the girl and the aunt to eat alone.
Rong Xiang saw that she was hungry and just ate. Seeing that she didn’t say a word, Zhou Xian Yang had to take the initiative to find something to say, “I can’t imagine that the meals in the manor house have a different kind of wildness.”
Xiangmian gave a hmmm and continued to eat.
Zhou Xian Yang explained again, “I didn’t know that the head of the manor was nosy and sought out some little girl.”
“I know, it’s because he wants to court you, it’s a common thing.”
“Common thing?”
Rong Xiang see poured him a cup of wine: “You returned from the West Qin victory, back to the capital on this road stopped by the post inn, I do not know how many. There are also many officials on the road who want to flatter you. Have you experienced less of this kind of thing?”
What’s with this tone? Although it was true, Zhou Xian Yang was still uncomfortable, and he put down his chopsticks, “I’ve never accepted it.”
Rong Xiangyan smiled and didn’t say anything, scooping up a bowl of soup for him and handing it over.
“You don’t believe it?” Zhou Xian Yang became more and more uncomfortable.
Rong Xiangmian frowned, “I didn’t say that. That was all before we were married, what do I care about that?”
Zhou Xian Yang didn’t even extend his hand, threw open the hem of his robe, lifted his leg and walked away.
“Alas?” Rong Xiangyang’s bowl was still in the air, wondering, “What’s wrong with this man!”
Feiyun is entering the door, asked, “Girl, your highness went to that end to drink?”
“Just go.” Rong Xiangmian sat himself down and continued to eat.
Feiyun advised, “His Highness is angry because he thinks you don’t believe in him.”
“Are you saying that I’m not treating him well?” Rong Xiangmian put her chopsticks down and couldn’t help but spit out, “He still throws his face at me like this.”
“Girl, you’re good to His Highness, he knows all about it. However, not only does he want this ten thousand percent goodness, he also wants this ten thousand percent trust.”
“I don’t have the means to give him ten thousand points of trust. Am I to be like those infatuated women whose husbands say what I believe? I’m not like that; I don’t trust anyone. I only know that his sincerity at that moment only represents that moment, not before, much less later.”
Feiyun busily pacified, “It’s good that the girl knows it in her heart, why say it? It hurts his heart for nothing. Often times there is a grudge in the heart, all because the words splashed out can’t be retrieved. Maybe his highness was fine, you always say so, in the future he really born things …….”
Rong Xiangmian snatched: “That doesn’t prove that I’m right?”
“Does the girl think it’s important to argue about a right or wrong, or is it important to the person?”
Rong Xiangshi’s temperament came up, “If he breaks his promise, does he still have the face to blame this on me?”
Feiyun heard her say so also reasonable, she also do not dare to guarantee his highness how the future, had to not mention.
Rong Xiangmian finished eating, took a bath, really can’t sleep, sat under the eaves of the house to look at the stars.
The starry sky here is brighter and more expansive than Yu Wang Fu.
Feiyun listened to the gaggle of exhortations from the other end, “I’m definitely going to get drunk tonight.”
Rong Xiangxian pretended that he couldn’t hear, playing with the big dog in the courtyard and not letting Feiyun go to him.
Drink as much as you like.
It wasn’t until an hour and a half later that Xiao Bei and Zhong Jin carried Zhou Xian Yang back. He was already drunk and stank of alcohol.
Rong Xiangxian helped him lie down, told Xiao Bei to go down to rest, and ordered Feiyun to fetch two pots of hot water.
Xiao Bei was slow to leave, and finally held back a sentence, “Your Highness, our master has been thinking of you for so many years, why don’t you understand his heart?”
These words made Rong Xiangmian’s face in great embarrassment, “Why don’t I understand ……”
“All the highnesses got married early, if not because he misses you, our master can delay the marriage until he is twenty years old. Some years ago, the old general Qi would like to go on this please the Queen Mother the Emperor to give him the finger marriage, all let the master to the veto! Over the years, he’s been courted by many people, both in the West and in the country, but he’s never wavered. Take last night for example, the master did not sleep all night, guarding the door, afraid of you have any failure. You do not take his sincerity seriously, but also do not trample on him ah ……”
“Xiao Bei!” Xiao Nan made a wink at him, Xiao Bei collected his latter words and left in a different way.
Rong Xiangxian then muttered in the back, “I don’t know ah, he only said he would arrange for someone to be on night duty, how would I know ……”
Xiao Nan laughed, “Your Highness don’t be general with Xiao Bei, he only knows how Master is doing, he doesn’t know your Highness’s mind.”
When Feiyun returned, Xiangmian personally wrung the hand towel. Xiao Nan immediately pulled Feiyun, “Let’s go outside for night duty.”
Xiangmian alone wiped Zhou Xian Yang’s face and hands and body, and took off his shoes to soak his feet.
She had never been so attentive before, and when she was done, she sat on the edge of the bed, leaning against the bed frame, looking at the man lying on the bed, who, because of his drunkenness, rarely slept like that.
Zhou Xian Yang, you are really a fool. Just because of a one-sided relationship a few years ago, you’re like this?
Somerset’s heart was sore. She showered herself, took off her shoes, gently climbed onto the bed, lay on her side next to him, used her hand to feel the steady rise and fall of his chest, and rose to kiss his face again.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to piss you off. I …… was once poisoned by my own pillow and I was just too scared. No one has ever been as good to me as you have been, and I don’t dare to believe it’s true with all my heart. I am afraid that one day in the future, I will once again have nothing to lose. I just want to leave myself a little margin of decency.”
As she said this, tears somehow fell in large chunks, dripping onto Zhou Xian Yang’s face.
The warm tears, quickly turned cold, she took a handkerchief and gently wiped them away, when her right hand was suddenly held.
In the darkness, the bean-sized lamp shook, and only then did she see the brightness in Zhou Xianyang’s eyes.
She was startled, afraid that what she had just said would be overheard.
Fortunately, he was still as drunk and confused as he was outside Huan Yu’s door, and just reached out to wipe her tears, “Did I say the wrong thing again? I’m sorry.”
Rong Xiangmian instantly broke into tears, it’s this time of the day, still remembering that he said the wrong thing when he was drunk?
She put his hands on the ground, “No, it’s me who said the wrong thing, you sleep well. Get up after a good night’s sleep and get down to business.”
Only after hearing her say this did Zhou Xian Yang close his eyes. His eyelashes were very long and would cast small shadows when he closed his eyes, looking extraordinarily well-behaved. He smiled like a child in his sleep, and a softness came over him. She lay back down next to him, wrapped her arms around him, and hummed him a nursery rhyme.
When Zhou Xian Yang woke up, the sky was already bright. Wangfei was currently in a sweet dream, her hand still resting on his chest.
He patted his heavy head, and suddenly remembered seeing her shedding tears last night, hearing the words she said, and feeling a moment of emotion.
Liking and trusting are two different things in themselves, as long as Wangfei’s heart for him is true and trusting, he’ll just go and earn it little by little.
He rubbed her cheek and got up first. Feiyun arranged for him to wash up and clean up the clothes and shoes they changed last night. Zhou Xian Yang asked, “Who changed my clothes when I was so drunk last night?”
Feiyun pursed her lips and laughed, “Who did Your Highness wish it to be?”
“You girl,” Zhou Xian Yang laughed, “What if I said I wished it was your girl.”
“It is the girl.” Feiyun recounted last night’s events, “Our girl personally served His Highness to sleep alone. She worked up a sweat.”
Zhou Xian Yang was greatly embarrassed, “Alas, next time I won’t drink so much.”
After he got up, Xiao Bei came to report early in the morning, “That Zhuang Tou and a few stewards, waiting outside, asked His Highness what orders?”
Zhou Xian Yang thought he was not in a position to intervene, so he said: “I’m just staying here, there is nothing to tell them, tell them to get busy, don’t delay the fall harvest.”
Xiao Bei was a bit surprised: “We are not here to do business here?”
“Mainly to accompany Wangfei to play.” Zhou Xian Yang glanced at the sleeping faces of the meeting and smiled gently, “Go ask them if there are any scenic spots in the vicinity that can be enjoyed. We’ll go for a stroll.”
The head of Daqiuzhuang was originally a bit scared, but looking at the calm waves, he really thought that King Yu and his wife had come to play in the mountains and was busy recommending a few places to go.
Zhou Xian Yang was not in a hurry, and first watched the guards practice in the courtyard, and even fought against a few of them.
Zhong Jin saw Feiyun standing at the door of the house, looking out and working hard. Zhou Xian Yang thought to himself: “Why doesn’t the princess get up yet?” “Let’s see how good she is, she’s not worse than General Xiao Rong”.
