Chapter 92 The Edge of the Cliff

In fact, Zhen Tingyun didn't drink much alcohol, but he was drunk for a while, and then slept in Fu Changxi's carriage. When he got off the carriage, he was much better - at least she still remembered her old age. Crab.

Therefore, she just said "Mother, why did you pinch me", although it was mainly due to drunkenness and confusion, but it was really because of the use of alcohol.

When Zhen's kitchen hurriedly brought up sober soup, Zhen Tingyun was actually almost sober. But she still obediently took two sips of the sour and hot hangover soup, her face wrinkled with sourness, and she looked pitiful.

Because of her delicate skin, the heat of the hangover soup made the blush on her cheeks thicker. Then, she put down the bowl of sober soup in her hand, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, and whispered, "Father, mother, is there anything else?"

The subtext of this remark is: if it's all right, she will go back to wash and sleep.

Hearing what she said, Mrs. Pei felt angry when she looked like this, but she had already made an appointment with the Prince Regent. At this time, she had to hold back and asked in a steady voice: " You and the Regent..."

Before Mr. Pei could ask about the relationship between Zhen Tingyun and Fu Changxi tonight, Father Zhen suddenly took the case and interrupted Mr. Pei.

Pei's red lips opened and closed several times, but in the end she didn't say anything, she didn't say anything, she just walked there stiffly, her face extremely ugly.

Zhen's father was as if nothing had happened. He turned to look at Zhen Tingyun and smiled: "Okay, it's not too late, you should go back and rest early."

Saying that, Father Zhen glanced at Zhen Yiyun and Zhen Hengzhe again, and continued: "You sisters and brothers too, go back to rest early. Tomorrow is Chongyang, so don't rest tonight, tomorrow will be in a bad mood all day. , that won't work."

Zhen Tingyun was still a little dizzy right now, but it was due to the drowsiness after being drunk. If it hadn't hindered the parents of Zhen's father and Pei's, he would have walked back to his room to sleep. Therefore, after listening to Father Zhen's words at this time, she didn't say much, and immediately stood up from the chair, bowed sluggishly with Father Zhen and Mrs. Pei, and was about to leave.

As a result, she turned around and immediately remembered the basket of crabs that Fu Changxi gave to her.

Zhen Tingyun immediately regained some energy, and turned back and said to Zhen's father: "By the way, Wang Ye heard that my grandmother likes to eat crabs, so he asked me to bring a basket back." Although it was for Mrs. Zhen, it must be a family in the end. Zi eat, but Zhen Tingyun couldn't help but want to say such a sentence.

It's like a child's anger - Zhen Tingyun thought with a self-deprecating laugh, the dizziness caused by the drunkenness still caused her to speak out, and then looked at Pei's and Zhen's father's faces.

Pei's face was originally very ugly. When Zhen Tingyun mentioned Mrs. Zhen at this time, her face became even more blue and tense. Together with her fingers grasping the handle of the chair, she subconsciously folded, as if she could not hold back the anger at any time and burst out.

However, Father Zhen still nodded. He put his hand on the back of Pei's hand, as if to comfort him silently, which also interrupted Pei's outburst.

Then, Father Zhen stared at the young girl and said with a smile, "I have already sent someone to send it to your grandmother's courtyard—such a good thing should be filial to her old man first."

Having said that, Father Zhen waved his hand again and said with a smile, "I know these things in my mind, you just need to rest assured and go back to rest early."

Zhen Tingyun then stepped out, and Zhen Yiyun and Zhen Hengzhe who were on the side quickly got up, went up to salute their parents, and then stepped out.

After the three children had all gone out, Mrs. Pei just threw off Father Zhen's hand on the back of her hand, looked at Father Zhen, and said angrily: "Is it possible, my mother can't even ask questions now. already?"

Zhen's father reached out to wrap her shoulders but was pushed away, so he spread his hands and comforted her in a warm voice: "How can such a thing be asked so clearly - heart-to-heart, is the regent willing to let you know about him and Tingyun? What about in private?"

Pei Shi was still a little afraid of the power of the Prince Regent, but he still insisted: "Isn't that because the Prince Regent's face is not right today, and I am worried that Tingyun will cause trouble, so I want to ask more?"

"Jun Yuan, you're on the horns!" Father Zhen stretched his brows, sighed as if he had remembered something, and then explained to Mrs Pei carefully, "Eat crabs at this time, crabs are cool, so drink a few more glasses for this. Jiuyuan is nothing. Besides, Tingyun is drunk in the other courtyard. In this case, as a prince, she is staying in the other courtyard for one night. Can we still come to the door? Dare What did you say? But the lord didn't. Instead, he took the car himself, went around such a long way, and sent Tingyun back in person. It wasn't until he handed her over to us that he felt relieved, and then he didn't even take a seat, I didn't even drink any saliva and left immediately."

"Jun Yuan, although he is a high-ranking regent, he is also a man. If a man can achieve such a level, what do you think could be wrong with him and Tingyun?"

Zhen's father laughed as he spoke: "I used to worry about Tingyun's marriage - this marriage, our family is really high, I never thought of it before. I'm afraid there will be something after Tingyun. As a parent, we can’t even say a word. Now, seeing the Prince Regent treat her like this, I, as a father, can rest assured.”

Pei's face changed and changed, and after a while, he sighed: "It was me who got into the horns!"

As she said that, she didn't feel a wry smile, "I wasn't like this before, but facing Tingyun, I always felt..."

"I understand." Father Zhen held Pei's hand, squeezed it, and said, "Sometimes the temper comes up like this, let's take it slow. After all, it's a mother and daughter, how can there be an overnight feud?"

Pei Shi was amused by him, and then sighed again: "You don't have to comfort me, Tingyun is afraid that I haven't taken my mother to heart..."

"You think too much." Father Zhen comforted her in a warm voice.

As the night got darker, the husband and wife became emotional again while talking, and they couldn't help but snuggle together.

******

Zhen Yiyun originally wanted to stay here to hear what happened to Zhen Tingyun and the regent, but Father Zhen didn't ask anything, but drove them all back. Zhen Yiyun couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, and said a few words to Zhen Hengzhe in a perfunctory manner, and then quickly went to chase after Zhen Tingyun who was ahead.

It wasn't until the gate of the courtyard that Zhen Yiyun caught up with him and asked tentatively, "Second sister, are you and the Prince Regent okay? I see that the Prince is not looking very well tonight..."

Zhen Tingyun was extremely impatient, and he was really too lazy to pretend to be sisters and friendship with Zhen Yiyun. So, she turned her head and raised her eyebrows to look at the person, her eyes seemed provocative, and her tone was almost contemptuous: "What does this have to do with you?"

For a moment, the mask-like gentleness on Zhen Yiyun's face also seemed to be shattered. After a while, she smiled softly again, and said softly, "I'm your sister, and I care about you." After a pause, she seemed to have found a reason, and said confidently, "The prince regent is not Ordinary people, I am also afraid that you are young and ignorant, and you will provoke people, and our family will be affected."

Zhen Tingyun turned to look at Zhen Yiyun, looked at her motionlessly, and suddenly smiled: "Yeah, I almost forgot that we are still a family. If one day I'm unhappy, I'll make him anxious, and I'll be there. When there are sisters, you will accompany me to die together!"

Zhen Yiyun: "..."

Zhen Yiyun's voice was just squeezed out of his teeth: "You, what kind of bullshit are you talking about?!"

Zhen Tingyun sneered and deliberately kept his voice softer, but every word was very clear: "I just want to tell you, you can't treat me as a sister, and I can't see you as a sister. ——You are not the only one who doesn’t talk about sisterhood. So, don’t take the appearance of a good sister and tell me that there are no such things in front of me. If I get really angry next time, I will go back and complain to the prince. What do you think you are? What will happen?"

For a moment, Zhen Yiyun even felt that Zhen Tingyun's voice was like a thin blade, sticking tightly to her neck, causing the hair to stand up. She tried her best to hold her breath and smiled reluctantly: "Tingyun, how can you say that? We are sisters who are connected by blood and father and mother. Even if we can't be together since childhood, I always miss you. My sister's..."

Zhen Yiyun racked his brains thinking about the words, and said in a hurried voice: "By the way, your horse—that horse was the one I asked someone to send to you, if I didn't really miss you, why would I need someone to send it to you? Horses over?"

Zhen Tingyun ignored her, let go of her hand, and carried her into the yard.

Zhen Yiyun stood there like a pillar for a long time, and it took a while for him to come back to his senses. He raised his hand to cover his face, and returned to the room in shame and annoyance.

The girls and women who were beside Zhen Yiyun didn't dare to speak up, they just followed carefully, and before they followed into the house, they saw Zhen Yiyun turned around again, walked back to the door and closed the door, and said coldly: "Don't come in! I want to be quiet for a while!"

The maids and wives knew that the eldest girl had been a little upset since she came back from Prince Yan's Mansion, so naturally they didn't dare to go against her, so they had to guard the door carefully.

After Zhen Yiyun closed the door, he entered the room alone, first lit the lamp, then sat back by the bed, and quietly found a small paper package from under his pillow.

She sat on the edge of the bed, bowed her head slightly, and stared at the small paper bag that was not even the size of her palm. if

"I know you are a hearty person, but your luck is too bad. Princess Yan invited you at the lotus banquet. There were so many ladies in the audience, and you were the only one who wrote such a stunning lotus appreciation poem. , and Princess Yan nodded and gave the reward, so that you can go out to pick lotus flowers-there are so many ladies, only you can win this honor, which shows that Princess Yan values ​​you. Maybe, Princess Yan had already thought about it at that time. I want to choose you to be Prince Yan's concubine......"

"Unfortunately, you met that young master Zou on the way, and you lost your innocence for going into the water to save people. Even if outsiders don't know about this, they can't hide it from Princess Yan. Naturally, you can't be the prince of Yan again. It's really 'heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper', and time is also life."

"Of course, Miss Zhen, you don't have no hope at all. After all, it's a matter of human beings. Isn't the position of Prince Yan's concubine yet to be determined?"

"The only thing that is more unfortunate is that your sister has already made an appointment with the regent. You can't uncle marry your sister, and your nephew can marry your sister - although the royal family is not polite, you can't even lose face!"

 …

The eunuch's slightly shrill voice was like a razor blade, pierced into his ears, and he would never forget it no matter what.

Looking back now, Zhen Yiyun still remembers the tingling sensation of rubbing the eardrums and the panic of being told what to do. She still remembered that she once stared at the man with a pale face, tried her best to remain calm, and asked back coldly: "So, father-in-law, what's the point of you saying this now?"

The eunuch seemed to laugh, and that laughter was sullen. However, there was a deliberate kindness on his face, and he said earnestly: "As I said before, Miss Zhen, you are not hopeless at all - your second sister and the regent are just betrothed, It's not like she's already married. If something goes wrong with this person, the marriage will naturally be innumerable. The fate of Miss Zhen and the Prince of Yan will come. "

It is undeniable that when Zhen Yiyun heard the eunuch's words, she was moved for a moment, and then calmed down quickly - she was not stupid, she and Zou had an accident in the palace, even without Zhen Tingyun and the regent. Regarding the matter of the king, Princess Yan would not have chosen her!

The eunuch seemed to see Zhen Yiyun's face at that time, and comforted her meaningfully: "The marriage of the prince is not up to Concubine Yan alone. It is always up to the palace to nod and confer marriage."

In a trance, Zhen Yiyun only felt as if he was walking on the edge of a crumbling cliff, and he might fall into it at any time. She bit her lip subconsciously and asked, "Why should I trust you?"

"Don't worry, I will always tell you to believe me," the eunuch said slowly, "In this way, we will first solve the troubled Young Master Zou for Miss Zhen. At that time, Miss Zhen will also be able to believe that I am here.Here's what it said."

Then, the eunuch stuffed a paper bag into Zhen Yiyun's hand: "Miss, take it first, wait for our good news, and then think about what you should do."
