Lady Changning

Chapter 181 Short-lived happiness (with Zimu extra)

Mingyu's belly was getting bigger and bigger, so Xuan Jing put aside everything in the shop and focused on taking care of Mingyu, so most of the shopkeepers were Xi Changning and Huangfu Zimian, and of course there were occasional times when he was alone.

"How much is the spice, boss?"

"Five taels." Huangfu Zimian is the signboard of the shop, although he doesn't call out or invite customers, but some people come to the door automatically.

But they are all nympho ladies, sometimes when Xuan Jing is bored, he counts whoever attracts more guests, he or Huangfu Zimian, who knows that he will fail miserably in the end.

Since then, when I see people, I always ask if I am ugly.In fact, Xuan Jing is already considered the most handsome man, but in terms of temperament, he is still inferior to Huangfu Zimian. His natural gentle temperament and his fairy-like appearance have indeed attracted many people.

Especially after getting married, I don't know if it's because Xuan Jing said that the feelings are nourishing, he doesn't want to treat people politely but alienated before, now he always has a little smile on his mouth.

"Boss, it's cheaper. I was introduced by Juanniang." The young lady did not forget to bargain with winking eyes.

"If it's cheap, find Niang Juan to cut it with me." Xi Changning separated the distance between Miss and Huangfu Zimian.

Who doesn't know that she made a bet with Juanniang, Juanniang picked up the ten-day guest for nothing, and those men made such a bet that there were not many more.Several people paid and left.

"Aren't you going to see a doctor recently?" Huangfu Zimian was very clingy to her recently.

"I want to spend more time with you."

"Did Xuan Jing teach you this sentence again?"

Xi Changning's rhetorical question made Huangfu Zimian realize how disgusting he had said.

"Xuan Jing said that when the child is born, let us be godfathers and mothers." He immediately changed the subject.

"His kid is too stupid, I don't like it."

Although Xi Changning said so, in fact, he had already started showing the gold bracelet to the child and preparing it for him to wear.

"I'm going out to see a doctor." Huangfu Zimian's fingertips trembled slightly, pretending to be calm, she got up and straightened her robe.

"Just now you said you would accompany me."

"I suddenly remembered that an old man in the next village was sick."

He got up and walked out of the shop. After a few steps, he swayed and almost fell. He walked into the alley while leaning on the wall.

The pain in his heart was tormenting him, it was unbearable. He clenched his fists and beat the wall, wishing to dig out his heart.

"Why? Why are you playing tricks on me?"

He had only touched her warmth before he could hug her tightly, why did he tell him so quickly that he was not qualified?
The pain spread to his whole body, he desperately ran away from this place, he wished he could run as far as possible, he didn't want her to see him like this.

Xi Changning stood at the corner of the alley with her mouth covered, the medicine box in her hand was no longer that important, and the thing she had been worrying about happened. She thought that if she didn't think about it, she could live in peace, but she was deluding herself.

"How long are you trying to hide from me?"

Tasting the fishy and salty taste in her mouth, she touched the corners of her eyes, and it turned out that she was crying.She has been wandering in the underworld for many times and she gritted her teeth and survived. Why did she cry so easily this time?

Could it be because she herself felt powerless, especially Huangfu Zimian in front of her, could it be that she really harmed him?Concubine Hui and Princess Jing both said that even if they hate her, they will let him leave her.

In the end, they broke through layers of barriers and finally got together, which was unexpected for such a short time.

夜晚
"Zi Mian." She buried her head in his chest, she was used to this kind of life, she couldn't imagine the pain of losing him.

"Changning, it's okay. Don't be afraid." He didn't know what to say, he could only comfort Xi Changning, although both of them had their own thoughts.

It turns out that liking someone is not heartache, but swelling, the feeling of soreness in the heart feels like it is about to explode, but you can't extricate yourself, Xi Changning is like this, and so is he.

All this has far surpassed the pain in his heart, because he is really reluctant to leave Xi Changning.

"do not leave me."

Xi Changning's entreaties did not receive any response, she became even more anxious, hugging him tightly, even tightening his grip, telling her that she would not leave her, tell her.

"Okay." Even if he died, he would draw a ghost to accompany her.

Royal Palace
Palace is already a word that is far from the mouth, but the real battle has never stopped here.It was a matter of course for the third prince to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, but the original concubine of the third prince did not logically become a queen, but a noble concubine.

This made Xi Lingyan a little unbalanced. Could it be that she was no match for a person who left?Is Xi Changning really that important to the third prince?Even after he left, he was still reluctant to part with her, and the position of wife in his heart was always vacant for her.

She doesn't care what others say about Xi Lingyan, what she cares most about is the love of the third prince, but at this point, she didn't even keep the third prince's attention, instead she accumulated a lot of incomprehension.

Xi Lingyan looked at herself in the mirror, her tears fell silently, and now she can't remember why she became like this.

She was once the main concubine of the third prince, but she became one of the many concubines when he ascended the throne. Even if she is Xi Changning's substitute, she is now dispensable.

At this moment, Xi Lingyan was thinking that if she hadn't pointed out the matter between him and Xi Changning, would she still be the innocent Xi Lingyan who was cared for by him, wouldn't she be so lonely?
Distraught by the crying of the child, she covered her ears with her hands.

"Take this child to Ben Gong!" The sharp voice no longer had the usual gentleness.

Mammy was a little scared, and hurried up to take the child away.

"Why do you all fight against me?"

Xi Lingyan took refuge in the queen mother for her own selfishness. Now the queen mother is one of the people who must be eliminated by the emperor, and she will also lose her backing. She used to naively thought that as long as she helped the third prince become the emperor, she could sit on the queen's position. It is justifiable to help him eradicate the queen mother, but now?

Granted the title of Hua, named Concubine Hua, but she is just a concubine, not the only one.He will have more concubines in the future, where will she go?

"The third prince is mine, and no one can take it away." Xi Lingyan cried and muttered.

For love, she also lost to love in the end.

Extra Story ([-]) Purple Wood

Zimu didn't look like a man, he chose to run away.Now he is lying on the top of the mountain not far from the mountain village, looking at the isolated mountain village below, what can't get out of his mind is the pair of upright eyes, if only Xi Changning was so innocent.

He has been lying down until the sun goes down, but he still has no intention of leaving. It is rare for him to think about his own things in his waking days, which has nothing to do with the past but the future.

Some roads had a good result at the beginning, but now the result is not what he imagined, no matter how he assumes, he is a little at a loss.

"If you figure it out and accept us, we welcome you back anytime."

This is what those people said to him when he left Helian Bao in the Western Regions.Now that I think about it, I am really excited. Except for Hu Cheng, this is the first time anyone has welcomed him back.

Originally thought that this time he could not let go of Xi Changning because he would pay the price with his life, but he survived, and it was all because of that probable Xuan Jing, who made him think about the future.

"You're really here."

He was a little surprised by the sound of the stars, hadn't he gone far enough?

"Don't follow me."

"You seem to hate me, but you don't seem to hate me, why?"

At most, he was indifferent to others, but he seemed to have a poisonous tongue in addition to his indifference to her.

Zimu ignored it, don't overdo it.

"I couldn't find you, so I kept looking, and kept looking." I don't know how many times I have said, anyway, it must have been a long time, and I only saw this person lying in the grass until now.

"I won't marry you."

Zimu said categorically that no matter in terms of age or mentality, he has no interest in a little girl who is not yet 15 years old.But he remembered that when he first met Xi Changning, she was only twelve or thirteen years old, younger than a star.

Xingxing was silent for a while, and finally sighed.

"I know. Grandpa said that you need money to leave. If you give us all the money, you will starve to death."

Xingxing returned the money Zimu left behind to Zimu, patted the grass clippings on his body, and looked at Zimu with a mournful face.

She knew that such a beautiful man would look down on her, and if she couldn't keep it, she wouldn't keep it.

"Grandpa said, if you don't want to, help me find another husband-in-law, because the men in the village are afraid of the village chief, so they can only look outside the village."

Xingxing really likes him, but he doesn't like herself. She feels that it doesn't matter who her husband is, as long as it is not the son of the village chief.

Zimu closed his brown eyes, feeling that God was joking with him. A few days ago, he was still involved in court struggles, then he fled, then he confessed to his relatives, and then he became more bloody. Now this is what he wants to do. The plot of Yazhai Xianggong.

Xing Xing was very angry, she said so, how could this person not sympathize with her at all?She was so angry that she lifted her foot and kicked his calf.

Seeing Xing Xing's childish performance in pain, Zimu is even more sure that this person in front of him looks like someone who is about to get married?He is clearly a child, but also very stubborn.

"goodbye!"

Xingxing's braided braid made a handsome arc in the air, and he walked away gracefully.As soon as he turned around, Xing Xing regretted it to death, and now he must hate himself even more.

Zimu continued to ignore it, for him the stars are different numbers, a passerby, don't need to think too much, after she marries and becomes a woman, she will soon forget this memory.

It's sad to say that he himself seems to be a passer-by in other people's lives.

Until night fell, Zimu was also hungry, he thought about going to the village to buy something to eat, and left here.As for where to go, he didn't think about it himself.

As that person said, there are many things he can't figure out, or even don't want to think about, dare not think about.

But what he didn't expect was that he didn't go away. It wasn't that Xing Xing, a little girl, was capable, but that his sympathy broke out, and he almost wiped out the village chief's family.

The time was set at the time when he went back to the village to buy dry food. Suddenly, the village was buzzing, and it seemed to be very lively.

"That girl Xing Xing is still in the mouth of a tiger."

"It's a pity, just the grandparents and grandchildren, and now they will be ruined by the village chief's family."

Zimu wants to be proud of being calm, not afraid of death, afraid of others marrying a wife?He calmly watched the village chief's son walking with a lewd smile on his face.

In the end, he could only sigh, as if he was paying them back for saving their lives.Although he wanted to die, the two of them were troublesome.

"Xing Xing, you are still mine in the end."

"Dabao, Xing Xing hasn't reached Ji, how can you marry by force?" Grandpa retorted.

"Who told you, old guy, that you wanted to entrust the stars to that man who doesn't look like a man a few days ago? What's the problem if you don't reach Ji?"

Zimu's face darkened when Dabao spoke of someone who didn't look like a man, and he knew that he was talking about himself.Although he knew that his face was indeed feminine, he couldn't accept that he didn't look like a man. Just because of this, he planned to rescue her.

"He has a name, his name is..." Xing Xing just remembered that she didn't seem to know what that person's name was.

"Don't be stupid, Xing Xing. That person is not a person in our village at first glance. He won't care about you. He won't even tell you what his name is. I heard people say that he seems to leave without saying goodbye, which means that you are in his village. It's nothing in my heart."

Every word Dabao said made Xing Xing's face paler. It wasn't her fault that she didn't think much about saving him in the first place, but the more she thought about it later.Now it is unrealistic to think of him coming out as a hero to save the beauty.

"Anyway, I won't marry you."

"You can't do it if you don't marry. Your land is rented out by my family. The arrears of rent don't count. Once our family takes back the land, you can drink the northwest wind." Dabao said confidently.

Zimu couldn't bear to listen to the crowd, but he didn't want to go out and do that kind of vulgar drama where the hero saves the beauty.He can only lament to himself, how God sent him to follow the path of rural emotional entanglement for the rest of his life, this is not a hero saving the beauty.

At most, it is a war against landowners.

"Wait a minute." After comforting himself, he still walked out.
