Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 341 Face and Fame

The sound of wind, arrows, and artillery fire gradually faded away.

Galloping horses, guards of honour, the crown prince leading the guards on the left and right, crossed Zhuque Street and entered Zhuque Gate.

The uniform sound of horseshoes echoed in the long street on a rainy night.

Mixed with the sound of "da da" knocking on the ground, there are the soft whispers of the woman and the soft comfort of the man.

The accompanying guards were all the guards of the East Palace, and they had long been accustomed to such scenes, and they didn't even frown.

But Gu Yong and Zhao Ziyi, who were accompanying the car driver, felt uncomfortable.

It is said that the prince dotes on the princess, but it is the same thing to hear, but it is the first time to see it so closely.

Gu Yong is not bad, at least he saw how much Li Xuanye favored Zhao Xiwei at the family banquet last time, so he was mentally prepared.

But Zhao Ziyi suffered a lot, and felt like sitting on pins and needles in the car.Across the carriage, he could hear the conversation between the prince and Wei'er clearly, his heart also went up and down up and down, and he was not stable all of a sudden.

Thinking that he was in the government and the public, he had calculated thousands of times, and he never calculated that his daughter and the prince would have such a situation.

hi?Is it worry?
He really couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Back then, if the crown prince could happily marry Wei'er, why would he offend the queen mother for disaster relief, and be reduced to what he is now...

Forget it, this is what he owes Wei'er's mother and daughter. If his sacrifice can bring Wei'er a lifetime of glory, there is nothing to be ashamed of!
After thinking about it, but still not at ease, he focused on listening carefully to the voices in the carriage ahead.

……

"Wei'er..." His Highness the Crown Prince hugged the person in his arms carefully, gently wrapped his long fingers around her ankles, and rubbed her skin inch by inch with his fingertips, warming her feet that were frozen like ice.

The cold syndrome has not yet recovered, and it is frozen like this again...

He called her and said in a low tone, "Where's the token I gave you? Why didn't you take it out—"

Show the token to deter the bandits, and you won't suffer so much...

Zhao Xiwei hugged his waist, buried his face in his arms, sniffed his body obsessively, and said vaguely: "The token is from the Eastern Palace. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, it will fall into the hands of a thief." hands, causing unnecessary trouble for His Highness..."

"What's the trouble?" There was a sudden pause in the fingers rubbing her toes.

Zhao Xi shrank his body from itching slightly, and his breath was a little unsteady: "...just in case if something happened to me, the thief swaggered around with the token, I'm afraid it would hurt His Highness's face..."

"Nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a light reprimand.

His heart tightened suddenly, his voice became a little cold, and he said solemnly: "You are alone, who dares to let you have troubles!"

After a pause, feeling that it was not enough, he raised her face and met her eyes firmly: "Is your safety or my face important?"

Looking at his serious expression, Zhao Xiwei was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "My safety is important, and so is Your Highness's face..."

He may feel that his emotions have frightened her, so he touched her cheek in a soothing manner, and said softly: "Wei'er...you are my wife of three letters and six rites, the princess concubine bestowed by His Majesty. I First is your husband, and then the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the two of us, come out as a pair, enter into a pair, live in the same quilt, and die in the same hole, we both prosper, we both lose..."

Zhao Xi listened in a daze, and suddenly felt a heat in his heart, and couldn't help calling out: "Li Xuanye..."

She wrapped her arms around him gently, and leaned against him softly, feeling his heartbeat, and blurted out the words hidden in her heart involuntarily: "I thought at the time, if I can't keep my reputation, I can keep His Highness." His face is also good..."

"No, you are wrong. Your reputation and my face are tied together."

He stared at her with a solemn tone: "If you are the crown prince of a country alone, if you can't even protect your own woman, how can you protect the country and the people of the world? How can the ministers in the court submit to me? Father How can the emperor trust me?"

"But..." Zhao Xiwei looked at the curtain of the car, heard the sound of the wheels rolling over the stone slabs, and said hesitantly: "But, Mr. Gu and my father..."

Li Xuanye smiled, squeezed her slightly cold fingertips, and warmed them carefully in the palm of his hand.

His tone was leisurely and calm, with a kind of natural self-confidence: "Don't teach the two of them to bluff, what are you talking about? I was 12 years old and participated in the government. What speeches have I never heard? What methods have I never seen? Those old foxes No matter how great your ability is, you won't be able to be subdued by being ruled alone!"

What Zhao Xiwei likes most is the pride and brightness in his bones.

She stared at him for a moment, and the smile on her lips couldn't be suppressed, as if there were thousands of trees and flowers blooming in her heart at this moment.

Smiling and laughing, suddenly his eyes sparkled, and there was a faint glimmer of light, three points of grievance, seven points of complaint: "Since your highness doesn't care about face, why didn't you come to pick me up?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was still calm and confident just now, suddenly tightened his throat and didn't know how to explain it.

Her expression froze, her voice was low and inaudible: "Are you still angry with me..."

"No!" His Royal Highness panicked for a moment, and explained repeatedly: "Wei'er misunderstood! Wei'er did nothing wrong, why am I angry?"

She pursed her lips, a little uncertain: "Then why did you ignore me last night? You didn't talk to me when you woke up this morning..."

"..." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't answer anymore.

But in the end, he fought wits and bravery with the courtiers. He couldn't cope with the beauty's questioning, but he still didn't give up fighting for opportunities for himself in action.

He held the hand of the beauty, and put it gently on his lips, and his warm lips fell little by little, driving away the coldness of her fingertips.

Zhao Xiwei was taken care of so that her almond eyes curved, and the joy in her heart was like flowers flying in the sky, drifting with the wind to the blue sky and white clouds in the distance.

His Royal Highness couldn't help but also laughed, kissed her finger lightly, and said sincerely: "It was all my fault last night... I shouldn't be angry with Wei'er just because of a word, and I shouldn't be sulking all by myself. ... Wei'er forgive me, okay?"

Zhao Xiwei has grown up so much, and no one has ever accommodated him so much.

She has always been considerate, forgiving, and understanding.

Those people, even if they made a mistake and hurt her, they would never sincerely admit a mistake.

But His Royal Highness is different from everyone else.

He is confident but not conceited, he is proud but not artificial.

She felt that he was simply the best man in the world.

She bent her finger, touched the corner of his lips lightly, and said softly: "Then Your Highness will never be angry with me anymore..."

"No more!" Li Xuanye responded immediately, his tone suddenly became low after a pause: "Fortunately, you are fine today... Otherwise..."

Zhao Xiwei suddenly frowned.

"What's the matter?" Li Xuanye's expression changed, and he hurriedly hugged her body.

"It hurts..." She clung to his shoulder helplessly, her voice was already crying, "Li Xuanye, I hurt..."
