Chapter 504: Viper
Bei Jingchu has always known that she is not someone who is content with a peaceful life.
She is a militant who likes a challenging and upwardly mobile life.
Even though it was hard to face my loved ones on the battlefield, the boiling blood could not deceive me.
That’s great! The results are coming soon.
Winning or losing doesn't seem to matter at this moment.
A small spark burst out from the charcoal brazier, as if celebrating the owner's victory in advance.
Bei Jingchu smiled, enjoying the quiet before the storm.
She was swaying on a recliner, flipping through a random collection of poems. In the yard at night, chestnuts, sweet potatoes and a few small round potatoes were roasting on a charcoal brazier next to her.
The sweet aroma from the fire lingers at the tip of my nose.
In the quiet enjoyment, the trembling excitement of about licking blood gradually weakened.
Someone came in through the courtyard gate.
Bei Jingchu was too lazy to even raise her head; the sound of footsteps alone was enough to identify them.
The man joked, "You are in a good mood at first."
This person took advantage of her love-brain personality to do whatever she wanted and even committed crimes against her superiors.
After all, a love-minded person would never do anything to his or her sweetheart just because of such a small matter.
Bei Jingchu glanced at him sideways, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.
It seems to be saying: 'I will settle the score with you sooner or later'.
Jiang Longshou walked up to her without hesitation and asked, "Let me go?"
Bei Jingchu: ""
What a courage!
How dare you compete with the prince for the position!
As he thought about it, the prince moved his butt to the side.
Fortunately, the recliner is wide enough for two people to lie down.
It was just extra crowded and made a squeak of protest.
With the personal heater, the charcoal basin next to it was too warm, and Bei Jing felt a little dry at first.
His tone was not good, questioning this shameless person who had the audacity to compete with Chu Jun for the position: "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night and coming to my place to make a fuss?"
Jiang Longshou was not afraid at all and asked back, "What do you think?"
He looked over.
"These days of peace are few and far between, aren't they?"
He didn't know what her specific plan was, he just had to follow her orders.
Those actions had already told him that his Royal Highness the Crown Prince was unwilling to be outdone.
Bei Jingchu curled the corners of her mouth slightly, giving a rare gentle smile.
Yes, there are only a few days left.
No matter what the outcome is, whether you become a king or a loser, it will be an earth-shaking change.
The warm firelight beside the charcoal brazier made her look particularly gentle, but the people around her would not be fooled by this appearance.
The grass on the graves of those who were deceived was already three meters high.
He lowered his eyes to the book in her hand and said in surprise, "You are reading Wild Goose Qiu Ci? Why? I didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like such lingering words."
Bei Jingchu picked up the book and saw that the page that had been blown by the wind had been flipped to somewhere unknown, revealing the particularly graceful words on it.
"What is love in this world? It makes people stay together for life and death."
Bei Jingchu sneered and started to speak sweet words.
"That's right, aren't these lovers just like us?"
Jiang Longshou: “Not even dogs would believe it.”
But her acting skills are always good, and her eyes are captivating. Jiang Longshou reached out, turned her head away, and reminded her: "Don't look at me, it's easy to cause misunderstanding."
Bei Jingchu:?
Jiang Longshou sighed: "Why do some people look at dogs with such affection?"
Bei Jingchu:?
Is there? How come she doesn't know?
Someone said in a gloomy tone: "Don't make such a fuss, just tell the truth."
Bei Jingchu retracted her acting skills and turned the book to the page where it was supposed to be revealed, covering the lingering and sad words.
She said casually, "The truth is that I don't really believe in the beauty of love. In the past seventeen years, I have been in and out of love countless times in the capital. When we made the vow, it was true, and later we were disgusted with each other, it was also true."
"Promising to be together for life and death is extremely foolish. What kind of love is worth giving up one's life for? I think life is the most precious thing in the world."
"What's the point of loving and hating? Just go to the fields and go hungry for two meals and you'll be quiet."
""
The man was silent for a few breaths, then agreed, "I also think it's stupid. There are thousands of lovers in this world. When they are in love, they always promise to be together forever. Once one of them dies, the man will marry someone else, and the woman will marry someone else. Who can promise to be together forever? It's just a promise to improve the friendship."
"Those who throw away their lives for so-called love are fools. I would never do such a stupid thing."
Bei Jingchu nodded in agreement, "I can't do that either."
There are too many people who are obsessed with love, and it is rare to see someone sober. Bei Jingchu feels like she has met a soulmate.
The autumn hunt began, and the King of Qin still presided over it on behalf of the emperor.
Over the years, it seemed that the King of Qin acting as the Emperor had become a routine, and officials were no longer surprised.
Some vague gazes were looking towards Bei Jingchu.
Logically speaking, even if the emperor had any inconvenience, the crown prince should have come forward, but he simply ignored her and lifted up the King of Qin.
Bei Jingchu knew that they were watching a good show. In the past, when Bei Jingyu did these things, she stayed at home and did not attend.
Now that they were meeting for the first time, some people wanted to see her reaction.
It's a pity that she never makes any futile struggles. A poisonous snake always lurks in the dark and strikes with one strike, so she would never do any useless work of showing off.
Bei Jingchu's overly calm appearance disappointed those who wanted to see a good show.
Everyone went back to their respective tents and changed into their riding gear.
Lei Nian'er was also changing clothes in her tent. It was still early after she changed, so she sat on a chair to rest, reviewing the actions she was about to take, and thinking about whether there were any omissions.
The mother's voice came from outside: "Nian'er, mother is coming in."
After he finished speaking, Yun Guichi opened the curtain and came in.
The beautiful woman's movements were exceptionally graceful, and every word and step she took was dignified.
Lei Nian'er greeted him, "What do you want to talk to me about, mother?"
Yun Guichi looked over, frowned, and said unhappily, "You are a girl, and you don't know how to sit properly. Who taught you to sit with your legs apart?"
Lei Nian'er: "" In an emergency, she didn't want to argue and closed her legs silently.
Unexpectedly, a hint of satisfaction flashed across Yun Guichi's face, and Lei Nian'er had a bad premonition.
Oh no, how could she forget that some people will become even more powerful once they are satisfied.
Including herself, Lei Nian'er believes that she cannot resist the despicableness in human nature.
So she was so obedient this time, Yun Guichi couldn't help but test her further, and advised her earnestly: "As a woman, mother, it is not right to discuss state affairs. It is because of you that I am speaking my mind."
"I know you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I won't advise you to choose a better place. But seeing how popular the King of Qin is, it's uncertain who will get the position in the future. If anything happens, your father can only protect you from being implicated."
"Then you will have no choice but to come back and get married. Nian'er, you still have to consider your reputation. Even if you don't want others to praise you for your virtue, at least don't let them think you are vulgar and rude, or even dissolute."
"That good girl sat with her legs apart."
