Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 473
The imperial study room is strict and elegant.

The emperor who ascended to the throne by means of iron and blood has always been majestic and indifferent.

But at this moment, Xiao Tingchen couldn't ignore the affection and yearning in his eyes at all.

He sat on the couch and picked up a chess piece, "My mother was a boat girl from a small family in the south of the Yangtze River, and she passed away many years ago."

He lied.

"Boat girl?"

"Yes."

The room was silent, only the crisp sound of chess pieces falling on the board could be heard.

Xiao Tingchen looked at the chessboard, the emperor's chess pieces had already gone out of order.

What was he thinking about?
What is his relationship with his mother?
After all, this game of chess could not go on any longer, the emperor covered his eyes with one hand and signaled Xiao Tingchen to back down.

After Xiao Tingchen returned the ceremony, when he retreated to the threshold, he heard the emperor say indifferently:

"After the triumph, come back and tell me the story of your mother."

"……Yes."

……

In the restaurants in Chang'an City, Su Jiu couldn't finish so many dishes, so she asked the shopkeeper to pack them for her, planning to take them back home to eat at night.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Miss, the packing fee is one tael."

"A tael of silver?!"

Su Jiu was surprised.

No wonder everyone said that things in Chang'an were expensive, and a casual package would cost one tael of silver. When she was a maid, one tael of silver was enough for her to spend several months.

She looked anxiously at the good dishes on the table, reluctant to waste them, and said with a shy face: "Pack it up for me, the account will be recorded on... Xiao Tingchen, the commander of the imperial army. He has a restaurant at the end of Yanxing Street. Xiaobieyuan, you can send someone to pick it up."

"okay!"

Su Jiu carried two big food boxes and walked alone on the way back to the Duke's mansion.

At any rate, the emperor cared about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers for many years, so she didn't take back the mansion, so she had a shelter.

The mansion was empty.

When she came to her mother's courtyard, Lu Jiaoyi was sitting on the steps under the eaves, crying hard.

Looking up and seeing Su Jiu, she immediately picked up her crutches and pointed at her, "Su Jiu, I asked you to make breakfast, where did you go?! I was hungry all day, and I cried!"

Su Jiu handed her the food box, "Eat."

The aroma of the food made Lu Jiaoyi ignore other things, and immediately opened the lid to eat.

Su Jiu sat down beside her, and said softly, "Lu Jiaoyi, our house is so poor that we can't get rid of it. You know a lot of daughters in Chang'an. Do you have any close friends who can lend us money?"

Lu Jiaoyi bit the crispy chicken leg, but she didn't continue to put on an act like Su Jiu, and said honestly, "I used to walk sideways in Chang'an City. To be honest, I didn't have any friends, but I offended quite a few people."

Su Jiu gave her a complicated look.

She shouldn't have asked.

Lu Jiaoyi threw away the chicken bone, "Su Jiu, don't you know how to make incense? How about selling incense?"

Su Jiu's mind moved slightly.

After a long time, Lu Jiaoyi ate and drank enough, and patted her on the shoulder, "Think about it! Sister, I have been filial to my father for so many years on your behalf. There is no merit but hard work. You have earned money, but you have to support me." I'll take the rest of the meal and eat it tomorrow, anyway, you've already eaten outside."

She unceremoniously picked up the food box and left.

Su Jiu looked around in confusion.

Lu Jiaoyi didn't even leave her a bowl of porridge.

The girl got up silently, and stepped into the dormitory to take care of her mother.

At night, she returned to Jiangheting with a lantern.

Selling incense is actually feasible, but she has no capital in her hands, and she can't even make a single incense pill.

She rummaged through the box and found that she really had no money.

While feeling uncomfortable, the girl suddenly looked at the bed.

She fished out a scroll from the depths of the bed.

Spread out by the faint light, the peach forest is beautiful on the scroll, the beauties with indistinct features, the skirts are twirling, bending and dancing.

This is the painting that Rong Zheng gave her back then.

Su Jiu's little heart was beating wildly, not because of emotion, but because of excitement.

Rong Zheng's paintings are very valuable, if she sells them outside, wouldn't it be a lot of money?

After the girl washed and washed, she lay on the couch holding the scroll.

Because she solved an annoying matter and was too tired today, she fell asleep quickly.

The night wind blew open the carved window, and a black shadow appeared outside the bed curtain like a ghost.

Xiao Tingchen lifted the curtain and stared at her condescendingly.

By the light of the moon, he clearly saw the girl's lips rising, probably dreaming of something good.

And she was holding a scroll in her arms.

He pulled out the scroll, saw the contents of the painting, his peach blossom eyes burst out with a strong anger in an instant!

Even when she sleeps, she hugs the picture drawn by the wild man. Is it because she dislikes the insult given to her by the Rong family? !
Xiao Tingchen threw away the scroll, lifted Su Jiu's quilt, and lay down in it familiarly.

The girl was wearing thin pajamas, and it was soft and sweet in her arms, and it felt very good.

His breathing was a little short, and he suddenly bit Su Jiu's lips.

The girl woke up in pain, and saw that there was someone beside her, and was about to scream, but Xiao Tingchen covered her mouth tightly.

He pressed her under him, "Don't call."

Su Jiu nodded in panic.

Xiao Tingchen let go, "Tomorrow morning I will go to the outskirts of the city and take the [-] soldiers from the Shenwu Battalion to the Kingdom of Yan. Xie Rongjing will also go."

The news came too suddenly.

Su Jiu forgot for a moment that he bullied him just now, and softly asked, "What are you doing in Yan Country?"

"fight."

"what?"

Xiao Tingchen touched her tender face, with deep eyes, "Still thinking about Rong Zheng?"

"No."

"Then you were holding his painting just now..."

Su Jiu pushed him away and sat up, pulling up the pajamas that were loose to the shoulders, "His paintings are valuable, I plan to sell them in the market tomorrow, and use the money as capital to start the incense business."

Xiao Tingchen's brows and eyes immediately stretched.

He held her in his arms, "You marry me, and I will support you."

He was talking, but his eyes were condescendingly peeking at the girl's delicate body.

A young girl in cardamom age, wearing loose pajamas, from his angle, she can clearly see her white and slender neck, and two snow-white traces looming under the wide collar.

I don't know what it's like to play with it.

The man's eyes flickered.

An ordinary man at his age already has a lot of concubines.

He just waited for someone to grow up, he hadn't even tasted meat, and occasionally ate some meat scraps, but he was so hungry...

His gaze was too hot, Su Jiu felt a little scared in his heart.

She refused to ask him to hug her, and curled up in a corner with a soft pillow, with a serious face, "Father and brother went to the frontier, and there is no one in charge of the family. The matter of marriage, we should discuss it later..."

Xiao Tingchen's eyes lit up, "Let's talk about it later?"

Su Jiu froze, not understanding why he was suddenly excited.

She watched the man approaching her little by little, her little face turned pale with fright, and she hugged the soft pillow tightly, but she didn't know that Xiao Tingchen saw this pitiful look, which made him want to bully her even more.

Xiao Tingchen grabbed her into his arms easily like he was catching a chick.

His knees pushed vigorously against the girl's slender legs.

The rough and wide palms familiarly held Su Jiu's ankles, and easily opened her legs to the maximum extent.
