The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 201

"I forgot to tell you, my sense of taste is gradually recovering." She looked straight into those black eyes, and her eyes were calm, taking his calmness as a harbinger of surprise.

"Even I think it's unbelievable, but it just happened to me. You think it's a miracle too."

Her smile became brighter and clearer in his eyes.

Nangong Zheng didn't say anything.

His reaction was like a basin of ice-cold water, pouring it from head to toe.

He glanced at her lightly, and finally his eyes glued to her face, as if examining her delicate facial features and any fleeting emotions, the silence was almost terrifying.

She was waiting, waiting for his smile, waiting for his tenderness and consideration even for a short time, but why was the waiting so long this time, even out of reach?
She smiled slightly, suppressing the inexplicable sadness in her heart, and asked softly. "Is there anything you want to say to me?"

"It's best to return to nature." His dark eyes flashed, and he left this sentence, but it sounded like perfunctory.

"Just to come back and have breakfast with me?"

She smiled lightly, and after a brief silence, she took the initiative to break the deadlock.

Nangong Zheng's eyes were focused on her, and the next moment, he pulled away without any emotion, brought the teacup to his lips, pressed his thin lips tightly, and said nothing.

The solemnity at this moment seemed to make Su Min feel overwhelmed.

She was looking forward to it so much, he could be honest with her.

But she didn't want to face it. Once he said it, he would marry that princess. Although he didn't love her, he would marry her.

She is conflicted and even more restless, although she pretends to be calm because hysteria is not her personality.

No matter how difficult it is, you must be patient and calm.

She doesn't want to be bound, his freedom.Even if he likes her, there is no need to focus on her as a woman, this is the common sense in this world.

Thinking of this, a faint smile floated on her cheeks, her voice was soft and pleasant to the ears. "If you can't spare time, you don't have to come and accompany me."

He won't say that the princess is going to enter the palace tonight.

Then she pretends to be ignorant.

"Talk to them if you need anything." He finally straightened up, looked at her deeply, and softened his tone.

"Okay." She nodded, stood up, and sent him towards the door respectfully.

She didn't turn around until his handsome figure gradually disappeared from her eyes. She didn't know if it was because of the rain, but she couldn't see him clearly through a rain curtain.

Vision, unknowingly blurred.

She didn't even ask herself why.

Remembering that she had made an appointment to go out to see the new porcelain from the Ma family the day after tomorrow, she sighed lightly, hoping that the heavy rain would stop soon.

Don't let it start to rain in her heart.

She returned to the desk, tidied up the four treasures of the study, and began to write a letter to Shopkeeper Lei, in which she asked him to continue to help with the operation of the shop, and within half a month, she would go back.

After writing these words, but still holding the brush in her hand, she couldn't help but wander off, and she didn't know that the ink stained her fingertips.

She should have expected this ending.

The rules of the royal family, no matter what, cannot accommodate a merchant's daughter to sit in an important position.Even if she sat on it, she couldn't avoid seeing more women entering the harem. If this continued, the palace would really restrict her physically and mentally.

She has no intention of fighting and snatching with other women in the harem.

There is no harem built to accommodate a woman.

The majesty, beauty and yearning of the imperial palace may also be due to the blooming of flowers in it.

"Madam, please drink tea."

A very soft voice broke her contemplation.

She got up suddenly and looked out the window. The sky was still gloomy, without a ray of scorching sunshine in the past. She suddenly realized that she missed a sunny day so much.

It seems that since living in the palace, the sky has always been sunny, and the hot summer may make people feel depressed, but that kind of full warmth is what she wants now.

With a layer of haze covering her eyes, she looked calm and asked a question.

"Let's stop the rain."

The maid nodded and replied, holding a warm teapot, she was about to pour tea. "Yes, ma'am."

"Stop pouring tea, I'm leaving the palace soon."

With a flash in her eyes, she left this sentence and walked towards the door.She always felt that there was a piece of lead stuck in her chest, which made her feel out of breath.She urgently needed to go outside for a walk to escape from the ever-changing state of mind.

Su's branch.

"Treasurer Jin, please help me send the letter back to Los Angeles." Pulling out the envelope from her cuff, she handed it to Shopkeeper Jin, and said calmly.

"Okay, young master, you can sit down casually, and I will arrange it right away."

Shopkeeper Jin took the letter, went out immediately, and ordered Ah Da to deliver the letter.

Su Min walked into the courtyard and stopped at the door of the kitchen. The cook, Mrs. Sun, and two helping aunts were washing the dishes for noon, as well as the clothes of the long-term workers in the shop.

"Little master, come to the shop today."

Aunt Sun was kind and cheerful, when she saw Su Min's figure, she immediately stood up, wiped her hands on the gray clothes, and hurriedly pulled Su Min over to her bamboo stool.

"What are you guys talking about? Keep talking. I'll listen too. It's okay anyway." Su Min smiled slightly, looked at them, and said casually.

Aunt Sun winked at Su Min, winked and said. "Women like us who have families, what else can we say, except complaining about men."

"Isn't Uncle Sun very kind to you, Madam?" She couldn't laugh or cry, this Uncle Sun is known to be afraid of his henpeck, and Madam Sun is older than Uncle, but he is good at housework and manages the family well.

"It's not satisfactory. In fact, we are talking about the matter of Miss Zhang." Aunt Sun patted the shoulder of the young woman beside her, and sighed deeply.

Su Min asked calmly without moving his expression. "What happened to Aunt Zhang's house?"

The young woman's face turned pale, she was worried, and she lowered her head as she spoke, weeping uncontrollably. "Hey, miss, don't mention it. I have been married to the Zhang family for five years. I can't have a son and a half. Of course, my husband's family looks down on me. Even my mother-in-law pointed at me and scolded me, saying that I am a hen that does not lay eggs." .”

"It's not a woman's business to have children, why..." Su Min frowned slightly, her expression changed, and she felt wronged for all the women in the world.

"Miss Su, you haven't married yet, so you don't understand the truth behind it." A middle-aged woman with a round face next to her shook her head and softly comforted Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Sun nodded, agreeing with the woman's meaning, and said in a tone of someone who has experienced it. "It's okay for Miss Zhang to be married for a year or two. Five years is not a short period of time. Not to mention her mother-in-law, even her husband dislikes her. Recently, she discussed marrying a girl from a neighboring village as the second wife. She said that it can't be because of her. No children or grandchildren."

Su Min's eyes flashed, looking at them, he suddenly felt heavy.

"This man likes the new and dislikes the old. When he sees those young and beautiful ones, how can he remember his wife who works hard at home?" The round-faced woman said, apologizing for the woman.

"Aunt Sun, what you're talking about is prejudice." Su Min smiled and said calmly. After all, in this world, it is impossible for every man to be so treacherous and ruthless.

Aunt Sun suppressed her smile, and spoke seriously but resisted. "If you find one or two excuses, it's like putting your nose on the face and not giving you a divorce letter. It's already based on the relationship between husband and wife for several years. How can I be single-minded to you?"

The round-faced woman nodded repeatedly, while Aunt Zhang burst into tears, crying very sadly, Su Min couldn't help being touched, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Ask shopkeeper Jin, our shopkeeper is a good person, right? Do you think he can be trusted, young master?" Aunt Sun suddenly thought of something, stood up, and asked with her hips on her hips. Let.

"Of course, how could the treasurer Jin..." Su Min felt incredible, and even blurted out without thinking carefully.

Aunt Sun smiled, but her eyes changed, as if experiencing the world and seeing through the glitz. "That Huanghua girl who was ten years younger married at the beginning of this year, who else is he? The little master saw that the person who saw the shopkeeper Jin was a good person, and he was good at doing business, but he was also a man, an ordinary man. "

She couldn't help but lose her mind. She never thought that the familiar shopkeeper Jin was also this kind of man.

"So, these are problems that men bring out from their mother's womb. Someday there will be an exception, but you must remember to burn incense and worship Buddha."

After Aunt Sun said this, she turned around and concentrated on comforting Aunt Zhang, cursing and saying that her man was nothing, and she didn't think about her woman at all...

It's just that Su Min thought of something else.

What she has always believed in is that the man beside her is very different from ordinary men because of what happened to her.

She has too much heart.

Tonight, the princess will enter the palace.

That night, she did not enter the palace, and spent the night in the inner hall of the branch shop.

Lying on the bed, unable to sleep all night, she forced herself to wake up, this was just the beginning, he is now the emperor, many things cannot be done according to her own preferences.

That's Ren Jun in her mind, isn't it?

Close your eyes tightly until dawn.But this night, her hands and feet were slightly cold, as if it was winter.

afternoon.

Wandering alone in the back garden, the maids who went back and forth looked at her respectfully and flickeringly, as if they were afraid that she would know that there was a new guest in the harem.

Smiling lightly, she calmly looked at the pool of clear water, but in her heart she couldn't explain clearly, and she couldn't understand what it was like.

How long she stayed alone, she couldn't remember anymore, a clear account book appeared in her mind, she was proofreading the numbers, why did she think of Nangong Zheng's face again?
How he spent last night.

Did you meet the princess in person, did you have a warm conversation, or...
