Lying on the bed, Xiao Zheng's mind could not help but think of Prince Ling Lainei's snow-white body and slightly sad face. And those gentle and beautiful eyes.
He could clearly feel Prince Ling Lainei's persistence in making love. In other words, as long as Xiao Zheng is willing, he can rape the aloof royal prince tonight without any reservation. Maybe even the future queen...
Just her noble status is enough to seduce most men.
The romance of dying under peonies is something that not just cats and dogs are qualified to experience. It also depends on whether Peony will give you face. Give it a chance or not.
Xiao Zheng lost the opportunity at his fingertips. It even caused disappointment to Prince Ling Lainei. It seems quite a bit outweighed by the gain. It may even affect the future friendship between the two parties. But in an instant, when Lao Lin's cold and beautiful face appeared in his mind, he gave up all thoughts of committing a crime. Lingtai Qingming made a difficult choice resolutely.
I tossed and turned and stayed up until three in the morning before falling asleep in a daze. A night of silence. At dawn, Xiao Zheng woke up faintly. Although I only slept for three or four hours. But the mental state is not bad. This is also a skill developed through many years of overseas career. During special periods, he can effectively control sleep time.
As soon as he came downstairs, Yingxiang came up to him and said respectfully: "Sir, breakfast is ready."
"Where is Your Highness?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
Yingxiang spoke calmly: "His Royal Highness went out an hour ago. It was said that Prince Tianxiong summoned his peers for a meeting."
Xiao Zheng nodded and stopped asking.
The so-called meeting is probably Tianxiong overwhelming the others, suppressing those who should be suppressed, and wooing those who should be attracted. Finally form a united front to support his accession to the throne, right
This should also be Tianxiong's first step. As long as no one among his peers objects, it is natural for him to inherit the orthodoxy. The older generation of royal family will not have any prejudice.
I was afraid that some people would be dissatisfied, and that someone would secretly create a stumbling block and form a clique to fight against the crown prince's succession.
Throughout Chinese history, there are many cases where princes were deposed or powerful princes seized power and rebelled. And for such a phenomenon, history will not give too vicious criticism. The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. History is written by the winners, who will help the losers clear their names
History is also better able to remember those in power who have contributed to the times.
After breakfast, Xiao Zheng was sitting in the living room drinking tea, occasionally chatting with Yingxiang. My little life was leisurely but boring. If it hadn't been for an agreement with Prince Ling Lainei, an agreement could have been reached. In addition, Chinese officials also intend to support Prince Ling Lainei and infiltrate into Tokyo. Xiao Zheng really wanted to return to China and stay for a few days, and then fly over when Prince Ling Lainei really needed him.
At noon, the sky that had been gloomy for two days finally cleared up. Through the doors and windows, warm sunlight filled the living room. It makes people feel uncontrollably happy.
And just when Xiao Zheng took Yingxiang to dine with him, Prince Ling Lainei unexpectedly went home early.
Talked about the early hours last night. But today, it was only noon, and even Yingxiang, who was extremely insensitive to political struggles, noticed the changes that were unusual.
"Your Highness." Yingxiang hurriedly stood up and greeted him. He said gently. "You haven't had lunch yet?"
The value of a maid is to serve her master. It's not her job to solve problems, and she doesn't have the ability.
"Yes." Prince Ling Lainei nodded slightly and said. "Send him to my room."
Say it. She went straight upstairs without even saying a word to Xiao Zheng.
Yingxiang stood there in shock, glanced at Prince Ling Lainei in disbelief, and then looked back at Xiao Zheng. But seeing Xiao Zheng just eating quietly, he couldn't help but prepare the meal with doubts.
In the past two days, His Royal Highness the Prince treated Xiao Zheng with care and concern, even cooking and preparing breakfast himself. Or a Chinese breakfast she had never made before. This is a treatment that even the prince's biological father has not enjoyed. But a Chinese man took the lead.
From this alone, we can see how much Prince Ling Lainei attaches great importance to Xiao Zheng.
But why, just one night later, His Highness the Prince's attitude changed drastically. Don't even talk anymore? Judging from Xiao Zheng's appearance, it seems that he has already anticipated His Highness the Prince's reaction...
The thoughts of big people are really unpredictable.
After Xiao Zheng had lunch, he asked Yingxiang to make a pot of tea, and then he sat in the back garden drinking tea and admiring the flowers. It looks very lazy and leisurely. It is completely opposite to the busy and cautious Prince Ling Lainei. Even Yingxiang couldn't stand it.
Is this the one His Highness the Prince invited for help
Why do you eat and drink at home every day without doing any work
However, she is just a maid and servant. She is not qualified to express her personal opinions except to serve her master and his friend. I want to live comfortably in this deep palace compound. Doing more and talking less is the basic requirement.
Xiao Zheng drank two cups of tea. After having enough wine and food, he felt sleepy again. I wanted to finish this pot of tea and then go back to the room and take a nap. Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind. What he said was not Japanese, but pure English.
"These flowers were planted by my daughter herself. A few years ago, she was lame, so she bent over and pruned them one by one. It took a lot of effort."
Xiao Zheng turned around slightly, only to see a handsome middle-aged man standing at the threshold. The suit is crisp and elegant. He looks very royal and aristocratic.
"Who are you?" Xiao Zheng stood up. doubted.
"By name, Prince Ling Lainei is my daughter." The middle-aged man smiled.
"I've admired you for a long time." Xiao Zheng smiled hypocritically.
"Have you admired me for a long time?" The middle-aged man shook his head with a smile. "His Royal Highness has probably never mentioned me in front of Mr. Xiao, right?"
Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is very precise in every word, and often uses the fewest words to convey the richest meaning. Maybe she mentioned it, but I didn't understand it."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and said: "No wonder His Royal Highness values Mr. Xiao so much. You are indeed an outstanding talent. You are both civil and military."
Xiao Zheng didn't understand what the other party meant. But since Ling Lai didn't mention it, it was not convenient for him to say anything more. Just haha and chat with him.
But after a few words of conversation, Ling Lai's father changed the topic and said meaningfully: "Mr. Xiao, I heard some shocking news at noon. I hope you can help me clear up my doubts."
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng pretended to be surprised. "what news?"
"My daughter—" Ling Lai's father paused for a moment, then said solemnly. "She seems to have given up?"
Even in the back garden of his daughter's house, Ling Lai's father's voice was extremely low. This shows his caution as a person. Always be vigilant.
