Chapter 152 The Angry Princess and the Rough General 7
Shen Beizhan was very excited to get this extremely precious dragon tongue bow.
He couldn't wait to shoot several arrows at the target. As expected, his arrows felt great and had unlimited power. Every arrow went straight through the center of the bull's eye without any obstruction.
He really liked this bow, and his impression of Cha Jiu also increased a lot.
The system reminded that the favorability had reached 30%, a sudden increase of ten points from before.
Cha Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He is indeed a martial arts idiot. A woman's tenderness and love are far less pleasing to him than a weapon.
"Your Highness, is there anything you want?" Shen Beizhan took Cha Jiu's bow for nothing, so he couldn't help but return the gift.
Cha Jiu said meaningfully: "You can have whatever you want"
Shen Beizhan said without hesitation: "Your Highness, please give me your orders. I will do my best."
To show his determination, he added: "Even if you ask me to shave my beard now, I will do it."
He regarded this full-bearded face as his life, and Cha Jiu knew it.
She said, "Not really. Just be polite and don't do these things. As long as it doesn't offend others, just be yourself."
Shen Beizhan was startled: "I thought you were annoying."
Cha Jiu asked back: "Why should I hate it?"
"In Beijing, beards are not considered beautiful."
"Why should I care about what others think?" Cha Jiu expressed his true feelings.
Shen Beizhan looked at Cha Jiu carefully again, with even more admiration in his eyes.
Sure enough, rumors cannot be fully believed.
The personality of this spoiled princess is quite to his liking.
…
The emperor is now nearly forty years old, but he is still strong and keen on hunting.
After he shot the running deer with his first arrow, the hundreds of hunters behind him who were ready to attack dared to raise their whips and rush into the deep forest.
The emperor returned to his tent to change his clothes, while the women sat in the shade, playing mahjong or chatting to relieve their boredom, waiting for the men to return with their prey.
Most of the noble ladies in the capital have their own small circles, sitting together and enjoying themselves.
Chajiu is a little deserted.
Song Heng's bow and arrow broke, and the spare ones were not suitable for his use, so he did not participate in the hunt.
He could only wait in the camp, enduring Yuan Yao's chattering about the injustice she had suffered at Cha Jiu's hands a few days ago.
"…The most hateful thing is that when I went home and told my father about this, he thought it was my fault."
Yuan Yao was angry, turned around and saw Song Heng distracted: "Brother-in-law, are you listening to me?"
Song Heng came back to his senses, and a gentle and patient smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I'm listening."
Seeing Yuan Yao's angry expression, Song Heng came up with an idea: "After all, the princess and we are the monarch and subject. We shouldn't make things too awkward. How about this? I will go and talk to the princess on your behalf to ease the situation so that she won't embarrass you in the future."
Yuan Yao's eyes welled up after hearing this, and she was very moved: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry for wronging you. You are really the best man in the world. I have no regrets in having you as my husband in this life."
Song Heng was helpless and doting, scratching her nose: "What nonsense are you talking about? You call me brother-in-law, so I treat you as my dearest sister. What's wrong with doing these things?"
With an excuse, Song Heng naturally approached Cha Jiu in front of everyone.
Cha Jiu's surroundings were very quiet. Chenxiang had gone to change the tea, leaving Qingdai alone fanning her.
Qingdai has always been a tight-lipped person, so Song Heng doesn't care about her presence.
"Your Highness." Song Heng saluted.
Cha Jiu propped up his head and looked at the hunting exit in boredom.
Shen Beizhan should come out from there.
"If you need to see me, please send me a visiting card first." Cha Jiu didn't even spare him a glance, "Don't let the world think that I'm pestering you."
Song Heng vaguely knew what Cha Jiu was bothering him about.
"Your Highness." Song Heng smiled bitterly and changed his address: "...Ayuan."
"In the past, you asked me to call you A-Yuan, but I was always reluctant because I was afraid that it would exceed our respective statuses, and also afraid that it would go against my own heart."
"I know you've been upset that I didn't give you a straight answer, but I really have my reasons."
"I have been with my late wife for too long, and restraining my emotions has become a habit. It's not that I don't love you, but that I can't love you. I have my late wife in my heart, but that doesn't mean I don't have you."
"I have said all, do you still doubt my heart?"
Cha Jiu couldn't help but stop Qing Dai: "Stop fanning me, I feel a little cold."
Qingdai also put down her fan and touched the goose bumps on her arms.
Chu Mengwan, who was far away, looked up at Cha Jiu frequently while talking and laughing, her eyes dark.
After the chill subsided, Cha Jiu glanced at Song Heng who was pretending to be serious and said, "Are you really telling the truth?"
Song Heng was delighted, but his face remained firm and calm: "I am sincere. I swear on the jade pendant left by my late mother."
Having said that, he placed a two-color begonia flower hollow jade pendant from his sleeve on the table.
He said it was a keepsake from his deceased mother, but actually he just bought it casually.
How could Song Heng really leave his keepsake to Cha Jiu?
Cha Jiu raised his lips slightly: "Well, if you want me to believe you, then show me some real actions. How about this, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and burn the spirit tablet of your deceased wife, then resign from your official position and become a commoner, never to enter the court again."
Song Heng's face changed.
Cha Jiu thought, "My father will not allow me to divorce Shen Beizhan. If that's the case, you can be my lover. I'll buy you a house in the suburbs. You can stop being an official and grow vegetables or sweep the land... Anyway, don't be idle. I don't support idle people."
Song Heng seemed to be frightened by her words and couldn't come to his senses for a long time.
Shen Beizhan walked up to the two of them with the prey in his hand, and was so shocked by what he heard that he couldn't even stand up straight.
Cha Jiu caught sight of him, and her originally cold and sarcastic eyes suddenly brightened up like a sunny day with clouds dispersed, "You're back."
Shen Beizhan noticed this change and was in a good mood: "Well, today's hunting is over."
He easily brought the prey in front of Cha Jiu and deliberately swept Song Heng's jade pendant expressing his love to the ground.
The jade pendant broke into several pieces.
Song Heng looked very ugly.
Although this jade pendant is not a real token of his deceased mother's love, he bought it at a high price.
Shen Si is so rude
Shen Beizhan looked down at the broken jade pendant, and gave a perfunctory and fake smile: "Sorry, I accidentally broke it. But I have a lot of this kind of stuff in my house. I'll give you eight or ten of them someday as apology."
Cha Jiu frowned as he listened to his insincere apology.
Laugh at him again
Shen Beizhan glared at her and pretended to raise the tiger head in his hand to scare her.
Cha Jiu laughed and scolded: "Childish."
Song Heng was hurt by the harmony between the two people in front of him. He said with a sour tone: "The general's family is rich, but some friendships cannot be bought with money."
"Oh." Shen Beizhan lowered his eyes and kicked the jade pendant fragments on the ground casually: "It's not money, is it a fake jade pendant?"
Song Heng's eyelids twitched, and he almost suspected that Shen Beizhan knew something.
He calmed himself and quickly changed the subject: "I'm talking about the gift for the woman. Although this prey is good, it is very scary and full of murderous aura. Giving it to Your Highness may only affect your good fortune."
Shen Beizhan raised his eyebrows: "So, you don't eat meat, you only eat vegetarian food."
Song Heng: “…” That’s not what he meant.
Shen Beizhan: "Or do you want His Highness to only eat vegetarian food to accumulate merits?"
Song Heng: “…” That’s not what he meant.
Shen Beizhan mentioned the white tiger and said to Cha Jiu, "This tiger skin is for your highness to make a warm bed mattress in winter."
He held up a bunch of foxes in his other hand: "These are for making capes."
Before Cha Jiu proposed the conditions for expressing his gratitude for the dragon tongue bow, Shen Beizhan thought about hunting some prey to show his gratitude.
She looks delicate, she must be afraid of the cold in winter
Those warm furs are sure to come in handy.
Cha Jiu stroked the soft fur with a gentle look in her eyes: "I like it very much."
She seemed to be talking about these furs.
But it seems like there's more to it than just the superficial details.
Shen Beizhan was satisfied.
The princess really knows what she is talking about.
He kicked the pile of jade pendant fragments under his feet farther away in disgust.
The fragments may hurt you, please don't hurt the princess' feet.
