Chapter 84 You Can Return Slowly

Zhen Tingyun Yuan was just furious for a while and didn't know what to say, so he kicked a few times in a fit of rage.

In fact, with her strength, even if she kicked someone with all her strength, it was not painful for Fu Changxi. Therefore, Fu Changxi didn't hide at all, just stood there and let her kick without moving.

On the contrary, Zhen Tingyun's face gradually turned red because of the violent movements, and he was still out of breath.

Such drastic movements are indeed very exhausting of energy and emotions. Zhen Tingyun's feet hurt when he kicked, and the anger in his chest eased a lot without knowing it, and his senses returned.

However, before she could calmly withdraw her feet, the embroidered shoes on her feet seemed to be hooked by the accessories on Fu Changxi's robe, and then she kicked and beat them, and they were thrown out.

Hearing a light "pop", the embroidered shoes flew low in the air and landed on the ground.

Because it was late at night, there were guards under martial law to the left and right, and there was no sound, and the sound of embroidered shoes falling to the ground was particularly clear.

Zhen Tingyun's face immediately turned even redder - he didn't know if he was angry or ashamed.

In fact, these embroidered shoes were specially found and replaced by the maids of the Ci'en Palace in order to match the long dress with bright red thin silk and gold embroidered peony given by the Empress Dowager Zheng. Therefore, this pair of embroidered shoes is also embroidered with red peony. The peony embroidered on the toe is magnificent and lifelike, and the stamens are even decorated with pearls the size of rice grains. of. However, these embroidered shoes were not originally the size of Zhen Tingyun, so Zhen Tingyun was wearing a little bigger. For this reason, Zhen Tingyun also put on thicker socks so that he could barely wear them.

However, just now Zhen Tingyun was irritated for a while, and he didn't care about the shoes that didn't fit very well on his feet. He kicked Fu Changxi several times in a row, and the embroidered shoes were also kicked a little loose, and then they were hooked by ornaments, which was very easy. was thrown out.

Even Fu Changxi didn't expect this episode, so he couldn't help but be startled.

Zhen Tingyun glanced at him, angry and annoyed, so he simply ignored him, raised his right foot with only Luo Sock, and then jumped on one foot to pick up shoes.

Only then did Fu Changxi react, and he quickly stretched out his hand and pressed her to the spot: "Don't move."

Seeing that he still dared to stop him, Zhen Tingyun really wanted to kick him again.

"Don't move," Fu Changxi repeated again, pressing her shoulder and explaining as he spoke, "Stand here and don't move, I'll pick it up for you."

Zhen Tingyun turned his head away, not wanting to look at him - even if Fu Changxi was born like a god and was extremely handsome, at this time, it was disgusting to her.

Fu Changxi looked at her very seriously.

When the full moon was full of moonlight, it shone on her jet-black bun, and her black hair seemed to be shining slightly, but her side cheeks were snow-white, and the color was like the petals of an epiphyllum that only blooms in the middle of the night. It was soft and white. With a faint fragrance, with sweetness.

However, her lips were pressed tightly, like a stubborn clam shell, she would rather endure pain and torture than open herself easily, much less show the sweet and juicy clam meat inside to others.

Fu Changxi suddenly felt as if something had pricked his heart, it was soft and sour, and he even wanted to reach out and touch such a cold lip line, and wanted to lean in and kiss her lips gently.

Fortunately, Fu Changxi restrained himself - he was not dizzy yet, and he was still sensible, knowing that if he really dared to come over at this time, Zhen Tingyun would have dared to hit him directly in the face - he was kicked a few times while standing. It's nothing to fall down, but if you take a few hits on the face, the traces will definitely not be hidden, and you probably won't be able to see anyone tomorrow.

After all, Fu Changxi was someone who wanted to be shamed. He restrained himself, pressed down on Zhen Tingyun's shoulder gently, and said to her seriously, "I'll pick it up for you."

Zhen Tingyun took a deep breath, the tip of his nose was still a little sore, his lips were tightly pursed, and he squeezed out a sentence: "No need for you!"

This was the first sentence Zhen Tingyun said to him that night.

It sounded tense, as if it was a little nasal, as if she was about to cry.

Fu Changxi couldn't help but feel distressed when he heard it. He didn't react until he felt distressedwait, wasn't he the one who was being beaten and kicked just now? Why did he feel sorry for Zhen Tingyun who kicked people?

This question is too difficult.

Fu Changxi quickly ignored his thoughts, opened his mouth to comfort the little girl who was about to cry, and said softly, "If you want to be really angry, you should pour your anger on me, how can you be so angry with yourself? It's really not good, wait a minute. I'll pick up the shoes and put them on for you, and you'll beat me and kick me again?"

Zhen Tingyun was silent now, she thought dully: Forget it, let him pick it up.

Seeing that Zhen Tingyun was no longer speaking, Fu Changxi also knew that she had acquiesced, so he patted her shoulder in a soothing way, and touched her side cheek again.

Zhen Tingyun was so angry that he wanted to bite him.

However, Fu Changxi was already prepared, he just touched it a little, then quickly retracted his hand, stepped forward quickly, bent down and picked up the embroidered shoes that had fallen on the ground, first carried them with his hands, and then seemed to have reacted, lightly. Lightly brushing the dust on the rice and pearls with his fingertips, he picked up the embroidered shoes, turned his head and smiled at Zhen Tingyun: "Look, do I count as a 'hand-held gold-leafed shoes'?"

This is a poem written by Li Yu to Xiao Zhouhou, and it is the scene of the two of them dating at night——

"Hua Mingyue is dark and misty, I want to go to Lang's side today! Panty socks and fragrant steps, carrying golden shoes.

See you on the south bank of the painting hall, always cuddling and trembling. It is difficult for slaves to come out, and teach you to show mercy. "

This poem is about Xiao Zhou Hou dating Li Yu at night. She was afraid of disturbing people, so she quietly took off her golden shoes and walked quietly with only her socks.

But now, Zhen Tingyun is wearing Luo socks, and Fu Changxi is carrying embroidered shoes.

Fu Changxi lowered his body and compared himself like this, which inevitably gave a sense of contrast in his life.

Even though Zhen Tingyun was full of anger, he couldn't hold back after being teased like this, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

Seeing her laugh out loud, Fu Changxi's breath that had been holding on his chest dissipated a little. He walked back with his embroidered shoes, and his footsteps followed much more easily.

Zhen Tingyun vaguely realized what he was going to do, only Luo Sock's right foot swayed, subconsciously shrinking back.

However, Fu Changxi stretched out his hand quickly and grabbed Zhen Tingyun's foot, which was still dangling in the air.

It was as if he had grabbed a snow-white young pigeon that was about to fly away with his empty hands.

Even through Luo Socks, Zhen Tingyun could still feel his slender and powerful fingers and the scorching temperature on his hands. She seemed to be scalded, her toes curled up unconsciously, and she subconsciously retracted her feet.

However, Fu Changxi held it even tighter. He held Zhen Tingyun's heel in one hand to keep her from moving, and in the other hand, he held the embroidered shoes he just picked up, and put them on for her with uncompromising determination.

When the embroidered shoes were put back on his feet, Zhen Tingyun only felt a little hot on his face.

Fortunately, it was night now, and her face was not very clear, but she turned her head slightly at this time, making it even more gloomy.

Fu Changxi was still on his knees and didn't get up. He raised his head to look at her and asked with a smile, "Are you still kicking?"

Zhen Tingyun originally wanted to fight with him calmly, but when he heard this, he kicked again in embarrassment.

The force of this kick was much smaller than the previous one, and it was about to kick into Fu Changxi's arms, but he was hugged by both hands in the end.

Zhen Tingyun was so angry that he retracted his feet, barely calmed down, gritted his teeth and said to him, "I want to go home!"

Fu Changxi nodded in agreement, then stood up, reached out to embrace her shoulder, but was pushed away by Zhen Tingyun, and finally had to step back and hold her hand.

The two became quiet.

Fu Changxi called Bu Nian to come, and the two of them sat together to the gate of the palace, and then got into the carriage that had been prepared by the Prince Regent's residence.

Because of their delay in the palace, the night had already deepened, and there were not many of the guards on duty outside the palace gate.

Therefore, when the carriage was moving, there were no pedestrians on the street, and the voices were silent. Zhen Tingyun leaned her head against the window, and could even hear the sound of the wheels of the carriage running over the slate and the clattering of the horse's hoofs. She lowered her eyes and was slightly ecstatic at the sound.

The lights were lit in the car, and the lights lingered on her face. The black eyelashes were only drooping quietly, like a thin layer of light, which was extremely beautiful.

Fu Changxi looked at her without making most of her face white, and his heart softened, and he couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry now?"

Zhen Tingyun felt stuffy when he heard Fu Changxi's voice now, the anger in his heart seemed to be a burning flame, and he pushed hard against her throat, and the throat began to tingle faintly. She suppressed the fire and didn't go to see Fu Changxi, she just muttered: "Don't pay attention to me."

Fu Changxi originally thought: After all the fighting, after so much tossing, no matter how big the anger is, it can be gone, right? As a result, Zhen Tingyun was really so angry, and he is still angry to this day.

Seeing this, Fu Changxi had to explain what he had thought up earlier: "Actually, I wanted to tell you about identity..."

Zhen Tingyun finally looked back at Fu Changxi after hearing the words, then raised his foot and kicked him, who was sitting opposite him, and said, "Can't you just be quiet and don't talk?!" As soon as she heard Fu Changxi's words The voice is so annoying, and I don't want to hear his so-called explanation.

Fu Changxi reached out and grabbed Zhen Tingyun's ankle, and sighed, "Can't you just listen to what I have to say?"

Zhen Tingyun wanted to retract his leg, but was afraid that the embroidered shoes would break free if he tried too hard, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Let go of your hand first!"

Fu Changxi let go, then winked at her: "So, we can talk properly now?"

Zhen Tingyun glared at him.

Fu Changxi shamelessly continued, "I wanted to tell you for a long time, but I never found a suitable opportunity, so I dragged it and dragged it until now..."

Zhen Tingyun felt that all her bitterness and meanness came out at this moment. She looked at Fu Changxi with cold eyes and reminded him, "That's also because you didn't tell me the truth in the first place."

Fu Changxi coughed and had to apologize to himself: "I really lost my memory at that time."

Zhen Tingyun: "I'm really amnesiac, can I still remember to use my own words as names?"

Fu Changxi was a little embarrassed, but he continued to explain: "...I just said it casually at the time—besides, if I didn't say my name was Yuan Hui at the time, you would have me and Ma Lantou share the same surname soon?"

Zhen Tingyun: "Then when you arrive in the capital, you already remember your other courtyard in Xishan, and you must remember the name, why didn't you tell me?"

Fu Changxi: "I only remembered some memories when I was young at that time, and I didn't know the situation very well. Naturally, I wouldn't drag you into danger for no reason."

Zhen Tingyun really felt that Fu Changxi's mouth was really powerful - it was him who was obviously irrational, but he was able to say what he said was like a white lotus flower that came out of the mud and was not stained, so innocent, even he lied. It was also a last resort, for Zhen Tingyun's consideration.

The more this happened, the angrier Zhen Tingyun felt, and he asked, "What about later? You should have almost remembered everything when I was born? Why didn't you tell me at that time?"

Fu Changxi's expression remained unchanged: "You were going to take the women's school at that time. Of course, my husband should focus on your studies."

Zhen Tingyun took a deep breath, thought about it, and then said, "Then, what about Princess Yan's gift of wishful thinking? You already told me about proposing a marriage, why didn't you tell me?"

Fu Changxi: "..."

This time, Fu Changxi was really choked, and it took a long time before he said, "I said I forgot, do you believe it?"

Zhen Tingyun laughed, turned his head and ignored him.

Fu Changxi had to lean up by himself, sat next to Zhen Tingyun, and explained to her, "I was really happy when you said you liked me. I forgot about it as soon as I was happy... Afterwards, I really wanted to be with you. To explain, I also told the eldest princess Huiguo about you—if I’m not sincere and don’t want to tell you who I am, why should I tell the eldest princess Huiguo about us?”

Zhen Tingyun's eyelashes trembled slightly when he heard the words.

In order to show his solemnity, Fu Changxi added: "A month ago, I asked someone to go to the northern Xinjiang to pack up and prepare a betrothal gift for you."

When Zhen Tingyun heard the word "wedding gift", he remembered that Fu Changxi was about to propose marriage, but he still hadn't said his identity.

I have to say it again: strenuous movements are really exhausting and emotionally draining.

Zhen Tingyun beat people up. Although he knew that Fu Changxi was not afraid of being beaten, his sullenness was much less.

不过，揍完了人，甄停云还是要气一回傅长熹：“是我让你准备聘礼的吗？我有说要嫁你吗？”

Fu Changxi was speechless for the first time.

He tried hard to think about it, and found that Zhen Tingyun really never mentioned marrying him from the beginning to the end.

This time, it was Fu Changxi's turn to be sullen.

********

Fu Changxi's carriage hadn't arrived at Zhen's house yet, but the whole Zhen's house had already received the news that Mrs. Pei asked someone to send it expeditedly.

Although the Zhen family did not see the prince regent holding Zhen Tingyun's hand and uttering the word "Princess" like Mrs. Pei did, their surprise was no less than Mrs. Pei. Even, because they had never seen those scenes with their own eyes, they were even more unbelievable.

Even Mrs. Zhen, who was a grandmother, was worried, so she could not help pulling Zhen's father and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you agree on the Prince of Yan earlier? Why did you become the regent again?"

Although old lady Zhen also knew that the Prince Regent was more powerful than the Prince Yan, she also knew that the Prince Regent was the emperor and the uncle of Prince Yan. As soon as she heard this generation, she knew that she was definitely not young. What a bad old man, what a good life for the granddaughter in the future.

If this girl from someone else's family is favored by the prince, Mrs. Zhen will definitely say that this is a good thing, the girl's family is lucky, and maybe she will congratulate others, tsk tsk sigh, envy and jealous. But this changed Zhen Tingyun, how could Mrs. Zhen feel at ease, she was worried and scared, and she was sweating all over her head.

Zhen's father naturally also saw Mrs. Zhen's fear and anxiety, and although he was not sure in his heart, he still had to force a smile to comfort his old lady: "The regent has not yet arrived, the dragon and the phoenix, the wise and the martial arts, everyone in the court and the upper class knows it. If he really likes Sister Ting, it is also a blessing for Sister Ting."

For the first time, Madam Zhen didn't believe her son's words, but she still asked one more question: "...At this age, I'm afraid I'm not going to ask Sister Stop to be a stepmother, right?"

Zhen's father hurriedly said: "The regent is still unmarried and has no children."

Madam Zhen was worried for her granddaughter: "Don't you have something wrong?"

Father Zhen wanted to cover Mrs. Zhen's mouth, and reminded in a deep voice, "Mother, that's the Prince Regent!"

Madam Zhen had to shut up, but she couldn't help but ask: "You said, why did he like our second girl?"

Father Zhen could not answer this question. In fact, this is also the question on the minds of everyone in the Zhen family.

Zhen's father and Pei's are also full of doubts, which is really difficult to understand.

Zhen Yiyun still remembers that the regent in Li was never married and had no children, so he just pushed the prince of Yan to the throne. When it was serialized, many readers speculated in the comment section why the regent made such a choice-is it because of a hidden illness and inhumanity? Is it the white moonlight who died prematurely, except that Wushan is not a cloud? Is it because you don't love Hongyan and Lanyan, why don't you marry the princess and leave no children? Or simply a tool person who gave way to the Prince of Yan...

So, why would such a person choose Zhen Tingyun?

In fact, Zhen Yiyun still remembers the shock of being struck by lightning when he saw the Prince Regent at Xishan Courtyard. Even if he closes his eyes, he can recall the Prince Regent's perfect face... Wait! Xishan Courtyard!

As soon as Zhen Yiyun thought of this, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Mrs. Pei's sleeve, and said in disbelief, "Mother, do you still remember that gentleman in Tingyun who has a different courtyard in Xishan?"

After a pause, Zhen Yiyun added: "The one who gave her a box of things on Tingyun's birthday."

Having said that, Zhen Fu and Pei Shi immediately remembered - after all, at that time, everyone sent priceless treasures like "The Story of Women's History", which really impressed them and kept their memory fresh.

Zhen's father had no thoughts at all, but when he heard Zhen Yiyun's mention, he immediately remembered everything, and quickly turned to look at Mrs. Zhen, and asked, "Mother, Mr. Tingyun, haven't you seen it before? Remember what it looked like?"

Having said that, Mrs. Zhen remembered it, and said as she recalled: "It's been several months. You suddenly asked me, and I can't remember very well. I just remember that she looks good..."

Zhen Yiyun really suspected that Mrs. Zhen was taking Qiao on purpose - if Mr. Zhen Tingyun was really the regent, how could Mrs. Zhen not remember such a face?

It's just that Mrs. Pei and Father Zhen were on the side, and they didn't make a sound, just waiting for Mrs. Zhen to recall.

Zhen Yiyun had to endure and wait.

However, Fu Changxi's face was really unforgettable. Madam Zhen remembered it after thinking about it for a while, but she didn't know how to describe it after removing the word "beautiful", and finally slapped her thigh: "I remember, he My name is Yuan Hui!"

Zhen's father immediately responded: "The regent's character is dark."

That's right.

Zhen Yiyun finally found a reason to convince himself: "So, the regent should be the second sister's husband. This time, it must be to protect the second sister in front of the Beiman messenger, so she deliberately told those people that she is his princess. Bar?"

I have to say that Zhen Yiyun's statement is at least more convincing than that the regent really wants to marry Zhen Tingyun as his concubine - the regent is so old, and he has never married or has an heir. Did you see Zhen Tingyun, a little girl who didn't even reach her age?

Pei Shi also felt that what the eldest daughter said was reasonable, nodded slightly, and then frowned: "Yes, in general, although Tingyun doesn't have to marry Beiman, what can I do in the future?"

"Nothing, since the lord is Tingyun's husband, he will show her if he can't say it. Now that I think about it, when Princess Yan took a fancy to Tingyun, maybe it was because the lord agreed with him." Father Zhen thought for a while, then said, "If Seeing the lord, I still want to thank him for his teaching to Ting Yun, and thank him for coming out to save the siege. Back then, the eldest princess of Ningguo and her relatives passed away within a few years. If Tingyun married like this, I am afraid that It won't last a few years."

Pei Shi hurriedly said, "I still know the truth." Even if she didn't like Zhen Tingyun, she was her own daughter, and naturally she couldn't bear to send it to Beiman to be spoiled.

Several people in the family were talking, and suddenly they heard a voice from outside——

"Master, old lady, madam, eldest girl, the prince sent the second girl back."

Hearing this, the Zhen family couldn't sit still any longer, and quickly got up and went out to greet them.

Fu Changxi had already got out of the car, and personally helped Zhen Tingyun to get down, and his face was also pale when he saw the people of the Zhen family who came in a hurry.

Father Zhen hurriedly led people up to greet him, and thanked Fu Changxi for sending his daughter back.

Zhen Yiyun stood behind and caught a glimpse of Fu Changxi's handsome and angular face. He could not help but pursed his lips and asked with a smile, "It's dark and far away, but I'm going to trouble the prince to send my sister back. Since you're here, why don't you enter the manor? Have a cup of hot tea and sit for a while?"

Fu Changxi heard the sound and looked over.

Zhen Yiyun's face immediately turned red, but fortunately, the night was sinking, she was still holding a lantern in her hand, and that little bit of crimson was just like the firelight reflected on her face. However, she still bowed her head slightly under Fu Changxi's gaze, as if she was too shy.

Fu Changxi, however, looked back unmoved - he had already known a lot about Zhen Yiyun from the dark guard, and he was just curious about the face of this sister who had been making things difficult for Zhen Tingyun, so he glanced at it. , he quickly withdrew his gaze with no interest, turned to look at Zhen's father, and said in a low voice, "This king will not stay any longer, and I will send someone to the house to propose a marriage tomorrow."

After all, he was afraid that Zhen Tingyun would object, so he didn't look at the Zhen family again, he quickly got into the carriage, and was about to leave immediately.

In fact, the Zhen family didn't react at all - they were all stunned by Fu Changxi's words, as if a thunderstorm hit the sky, and the whole person was scorched and hurt by the thunder, and the whole person was dizzy of

mention, mention a kiss?

The author has something to say: Zhen Tingyun: I will not marry!

Fu Changxi: No matter, anyway, I want to propose marriage first.
