The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 200

Seeing him questioning her, she became very excited, and her brows and eyes became brighter, like the brilliance of a gemstone. "It's a kind of promise, although in reality, you don't make promises easily."

"Tell me." He said calmly and calmly.

She smiled and bent her eyebrows, like an innocent girl: "In the dream, you took my hand and walked in the mountains and forests. Tell me, anyone may deceive me or disappoint me, but you will not .”

She didn't say anything about the second half of this dream, because it was something she couldn't bear, and it was a distant dream that Nan Gongzheng couldn't bear.

What she dreamed was that their home was hidden deep in the forest.

There they live, just each other.

For her, it may be some kind of romance.For Nan Gongzheng who is sitting on the supreme authority, this dream does not sound pleasant, on the contrary, it seems to make people disturbed and irritable.

The tall body stood up slowly, and his black eyes glanced at her.

She couldn't help being a little surprised. Although it wasn't a particularly warm dream, why did he stand up suddenly, as if he was about to leave?Does what she said have no impact on him at all?

Nangong Zheng looked at her indifferently, a complex light flashed in his eyes, there was no silence, because silence would make each other's situation even more embarrassing.

"It suddenly occurred to me that there are still ministers discussing state affairs with me. You don't have to wait for me if you have dinner earlier tonight."

She felt a little lost in her heart, but Su Min didn't let her emotions affect him. She raised her pink lips and nodded in response with a smile.

"Okay, are you still going back to bed?"

"It may be late at night, you go to bed first." He turned his back and walked out of the room without any hesitation.

The whole room suddenly became empty, as if it was a bleak winter day, and no one could feel any warmth outside the house.

She didn't even have time to say anything.

However, it seems that there is nothing to say.

State affairs are cumbersome, four words are enough to shut her mouth.Nor can she guess whether he is just using state affairs as an excuse, after all, she believes he is not that kind of person.

So what else could she say about all this?
If you don't say anything, you are the real understanding woman by the king's side.

She got up slowly, took out the messy but gorgeous clothes from the closet, sank her fingers deeply into it, her eyes sank, she was speechless for a while.

Su Min sat at the table and sewed for about two hours, until her shoulders felt sore and her eyes hurt, so she had to stop.

She felt a little sleepy, but the sun had just set, and it was almost time for the maid to bring dinner. She got up and walked to the door, and suddenly heard two maids in the courtyard whispering at the door.

"Did Mr. Wen really say that, Xiaohong? If that's the case, what will Mrs. Su do..." One of the maids said helplessly.

The other court lady was not too sure. "How would I know, I don't know that much at all. But since it was Bai Yuguo's request, in order to enhance the relationship between the two countries, how could His Majesty refuse? It's not like this kind of thing has happened before."

Baiyu Country?It is a small country on the west side of the Junyun country. The monarchs of other countries don’t have much contact with their own country. Could it be that they are also imitating other useless small countries, and now that the Nangong government is in power, they want to send some rare treasures as tribute to win the favor of the big country? And asylum, by the way, form an alliance?

Thinking of this, Su Min's eyes flashed, and she was about to open the door when the following words suddenly fell into her ears.

"That's right. The gifts sent over will not be returned, not to mention that Princess Huiping has already set off, and it is said that she will arrive in the capital tomorrow."

Shocked.

Princess?

The hand covering the door frame suddenly retracted as if touching a wooden thorn.

What is the purpose of Bai Yuguo sending a princess?

It's hard for her to pretend to understand if she doesn't know.

After all, as the maid said, these things happened in any dynasty, so she needn't be surprised at all.

The next moment, the gentle voice of the maid was heard. "That's right, if that princess comes and enters the palace, will the Holy Majesty want her to be the queen..."

"What about Mrs. Su?" Although the voice was not loud and harsh, it sounded like chest tightness and it was hard to breathe.

"The Holy Majesty likes Madam so much, maybe he will make her the highest imperial concubine?"

Su Min didn't seem to understand the following words clearly.

She turned her head and sat back on the soft couch, and the maid brought an exquisite dinner. She raised her eyebrows and looked at them, their eyes flickered, and they didn't dare to look at her directly.

"Madam, please have a meal."

"Understood, you go out first, I will call you if there is something to do." She knew it very well in her heart, she smiled lightly, and didn't say much.

Quietly raising the silver spoon, she took a sip of the bamboo shoot soup. The umami taste of the bamboo shoots was incisively and vividly in the soup, which made her index finger move.It's a pity that Su Min's eyes were gloomy, as if he had returned to the past, and he couldn't taste anything.

Although it is not as powerful as the Yunyun Kingdom, at least that is the noble princess of the country. Since it is the king's intention, Nan Gongzheng will not veto it out loud.

At least, representing the interests of two countries.

The princess will enter the palace tomorrow, so everything is settled.

She smiled wryly, took a mouthful of the dish, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed and swallowed it, but her appetite seemed to be empty, without the feeling of being filled.

The reason for her uneasiness is actually because of this.

She thought that the rumor was that Nangong Zheng was arranging marriage for Tong.

In the end, the object of marriage was Nangong Zheng's.

Not because the princess was going to the palace, but because he ignored, concealed, and didn't tell her.

Do you think this is a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, so you don't talk about it?

She didn't know if thinking this way could comfort her heart.

No matter how I think about it, I feel bitter and bitter.

When did it start, maybe when he said that he would give her the title of harem?He should have known.

She wants to become more sober herself. She is a businessman, and she is always emotionally affected by these trivial matters, which will affect her from making correct judgments.

She took out the pink handkerchief around her waist, walked behind the screen, and put it into the basin, which was covered with hot water.

Holding the veil soaked in warm water in his hand, his mind gradually became clearer.

She persuaded herself to rest, stop thinking about it, and regard it as a trivial matter.

Lying on the soft couch for a long time, drowsy, she finally fell asleep.

Although it was not safe, she slept until the next morning and didn't wake up.

She didn't quite remember what happened yesterday, she just felt a little cold all over her body, as if she had been stricken by the cold, but now it was around the summer solstice, her feeling was too inexplicable.

She also felt hungry, maybe it was because she didn't eat enough last night, she looked up at the dinner on the table, but she ate it clean, she ate up a small bowl of rice, drank more than half of the soup, and all the side dishes were eaten. Appetite looks better than usual, though.

She's eccentric herself.

Looking at the past, it was gloomy outside the window. It turned out that it was raining lightly. Maybe the weather was so bad, but now it was accompanied by strong winds, which made people feel a lot colder.

The rumbling of thunder and lightning outside made people feel emotionally depressed.

A palace lady cleaned up the dishes on the table, and a palace lady brought clean clothes and shoes.

She stood up in bewilderment, slipping her delicate lotus feet into brocade soft shoes.Even the soft shoes are simmered with hot air first, and the brocade wraps the skin warmly.Even the soft shoes are so elegant, not to mention the fine silk she wears, which are priceless treasures.

No worries about food and clothing, a life of luxury and good food, people can't even find the details of the slightest complaint.

"Is Madam going out today? It's raining outside, and the road is not easy to walk."

She shook her head, not wanting to go out.

The maid nodded, and after she was groomed, she brought a warm breakfast.

The door opened again, and the man she was most familiar with stepped in slowly.

The room was silent, no one spoke.

She stared at her own toes, she had many questions in her mind, but she didn't dare to ask them.

"Have you had breakfast yet, let's go together."

What she finally said was this sentence.

Nangong Zheng glanced at her, and did not speak. The two had breakfast together, but they looked at each other silently.

The sweet porridge moistened her stomach, and she drank it bit by bit, her mood became more and more complicated.

Did he have a busy night last night?

She stared at him intently and smiled slightly, as if everything was in silence.

"Isn't it your favorite pastry?" His black eyes drifted across the table, and finally landed on her face, and he asked lightly.

"This is it." Su Min's gaze locked onto the dim sum plate. In addition to the colorful steamed buns, there were two milky white soft cakes.Her eyes lit up, and she recognized it immediately, and she was a little surprised: "The reunion pearl cake at the Mifang in Beijing?"

He dropped a sentence, took a bite of the steamed bun, and said it lightly. "I don't know the name, it's probably that one."

"Don't you hate pastries?" He flocked to any kind of pastry, which she found too unexpected.Just now, he was focused on drinking the porridge, but he never noticed that there were pastries in the plate on the table.

She asked very seriously.

"I bought it for you to eat." He answered very simply, without showing any trace.

He had the feeling that she seemed to have a sweet tooth like other women.Last time, because of the unpleasantness about the cakes, I simply sent people to buy cakes outside the palace, and sent them all the way to the palace in a hurry to maintain the original temperature.

"Actually, I don't like these pastries and snacks that much." She smiled lightly, her heart warmed, because she thought she liked them, so she bought them, and even broke the taboo he hated so much.Even if he didn't mean to take a bite, it was somewhat reassuring.

Nan Gongzheng frowned slightly, as if he had done something he shouldn't have done, wasting his efforts.

She bit the pastry, savoring it carefully, with a satisfied smile in her eyes. "But I'm still very happy. After all, being able to taste the sweetness is something to be happy about."

"What do you mean?" His brows furrowed even deeper.
