I don't know if at that time, he will degenerate into a killing machine, a ruthless devil like in the dream? Under the warm sun at noon in spring, Zhu Junyang shivered coldly. He hurried out of the other courtyard, and walked involuntarily towards the courtyard of the green brick house at the foot of the mountain.
"Ma'am, the prince of the county only used half a bowl of peach blossom soup for lunch..." Mei Xiang and Lan Xiang brought the lunch from the house, only seeing the back of the prince leaving, they were a little puzzled about his whereabouts.
"Leave him alone, he won't be hungry!" Concubine Jing was in a good mood and had a big appetite. After eating a few pieces of peach blossom cake, she ate a lot of food.
Unknowingly, Zhu Junyang's footsteps stepped into Yu's East Courtyard again. Yu Xiaocao's family was preparing to have lunch, when they saw the figure of King Yang entering the door, they stood up one after another.
Yu Hai rubbed his hands with a smile, and asked, "Your Majesty, have you eaten your lunch yet? If you don't mind, let's have some together?"
Zhu Junyang glanced at the dining table, and saw that the dishes on it were not vegetarian as Yu Xiaocao said. Clam custard, pan-fried yellow croaker, grilled salmon... are all dishes he has never eaten before. Zhu Junyang, who was originally upset, was once again burning with anger.
"Yu Xiaocao! You just don't want to see me like this? You hate me?" Zhu Junyang's tone was full of danger.
Yu Xiaocao, who was suddenly named, was almost caught by the fishbone. She coughed a few times, spat out the fish in her mouth, and hurried over to put out the fire: "Where did the little prince say that? The yellow croaker and salmon are Uncle Shuan Zhu sent it over after you left. You also know that sea fish will not be fresh after a long time, so... "
"Don't make excuses! Tell me!! Are you really annoying me? You don't want me to stay at your house for dinner?" Zhu Junyang was a little vexatious, like a child angry with others.
Yu Xiaocao stopped the family members who wanted to help explain, and said with a smile: "My lord, you have misunderstood! You have such a valuable status, you have traveled far and wide, and you have seen a lot, and you have never tasted any delicious food. You are willing to eat at our house, it is right The affirmation of my culinary skills, we feel honored before it's too late, how can we push this honor away? You are really lucky, you came to the door as soon as my newly conceived charcoal-grilled salmon with herbs was successfully cooked... "
"Is it true that if I don't come to the door again today, I won't be able to eat this new dish?" Zhu Junyang continued to look for trouble, looking at Xiaocao's smiling face, thinking of who would show her beauty in the future, a burst of depression hit his heart.
Yu Xiaocao opened her eyes wide, with an expression of impossibility: "I'm planning to prepare a good banquet tomorrow, to welcome you, the king of the county! This dish is to prepare for tomorrow! You Today is here, it’s even better!! Try the dish first, does it suit your taste?”
After more than two years of contact, Yu Xiaocao has thoroughly grasped the temper of the cold-faced county king, and knows how to extinguish his anger with gags. But today, it seems that it is not very successful!
"You don't have a hippie smile, how can you look like a girl? With you like this, it's strange to be married!!" Zhu Junyang uttered "bad words", and Liu's mother's face changed when she heard it. Yu Hai, the spoiled girl, glared at the county prince with displeasure. If he had ignored his identity, he would have stepped forward and tore him up long ago! !
"It's better if I don't get married! I can be filial by my parents' side, so that I don't get tied up in other people's families, and I have to fight my mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and mistress... I feel tired thinking about it!" Yu Xiaocao looked indifferent.
The Liu family didn't care that King Yang was by his side, and scolded: "What are you talking about!! How can a girl not marry? Talk nonsense again, be careful I will beat you!!"
Liu's threat has no deterrent effect on Xiaocao. She knew that Mother would not be willing to touch her with a finger! Traveling to this small fishing village, what made her most gratified was that she had a pair of parents who loved her and allowed her to "play around", and brothers and sisters who were friendly and helpful to each other.
After hearing Xiaocao's words, the anger in Zhu Junyang's heart suddenly vented like a deflated balloon. He blurted out without thinking: "Don't worry, if you can't get married, the Lord will take you in with great kindness!"
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaocao was horrified when she heard the words, as if she saw a ghost, she said again and again: "Your Majesty, please don't! I thank you, should you use your kindness on others? Your behavior is vulgar, and your appearance Ugly, don't tarnish your holy image of being graceful, wise, and unattainable!"
"It's okay, I don't dislike you!!" Zhu Junyang's mood suddenly brightened, and he felt that it was a good choice to accept her into the mansion. The little girl is still young, it doesn't matter, the master has plenty of patience to wait for her to grow up.
"I despise you!!" Yu Xiaocao sensed the seriousness of Duke Yang, and said so frighteningly that Yu Hai, his wife and old Yu were trembling! If you offend the great god, the county prince, the Yu family can't afford it!
However, Zhu Junyang raised his eyebrows, staring at her seriously with good-looking phoenix eyes, and asked, "How can you not be worthy of you? You are the county king who was proclaimed by the emperor of the court, and he gave you a fief. If you promise me If you don’t, you will be the hostess of the entire Tanggu area. You can open a store wherever you want, and buy land wherever you want. Even if you don’t want to do anything, I can afford you! Age, although it is six or seven years older than you. People often say that older men know how to love women! Also, I am not bad-looking, and I will not lose my reputation when I take it out. What do you dissatisfy with me? ?”
He solemnly promoted his appearance, which gave Yu Xiaocao another headache: "My lord, you are good everywhere! I am not good enough for you..."
"I said it before, I don't dislike you!!" Zhu Junyang blurted out at the beginning, suspected of being impulsive. However, thinking about it carefully, it is also a wise choice to keep a ray of sunshine in his life by his side. In this way, all the entanglements he had just had in the other courtyard were resolved.
Yu Xiaocao had the urge to bite. Seeing the stunned expressions of her family members, she couldn't count on them. She thought for a while and said seriously: "Little Prince! You also know that my parents value me so much that they would not agree to let me be a concubine. You won't use your power to force someone to be a concubine, right?"
"Who said I let you into the mansion to be a concubine?" Zhu Junyang gave her a contemptuous look. This careless little girl is going to be put into the messy backyard, and she will be tossed to death in a few days. Fortunately, the inner courtyard of Prince Jing's mansion has always been relatively quiet. Although the father was a little ridiculous when he was young, currently there is only one woman, the mother and the concubine.
After the eldest brother married his sister-in-law, he sent out all the girls who used to be housekeepers. He himself doesn't even have a housemate. He's eighteen or nineteen years old, and he's still a chicken. If those dudes in Beijing find out, they won't laugh at him to death. This stinky girl, what else is there to dissatisfy
Yu Xiaocao said with a stinky face, "A side concubine, a flat wife, etc., are just like concubines in my eyes. My temper is a bit domineering, I am a food protector, and I don't allow anyone to share my man. !!"
The Yu family covered their faces: This shameless little girl only opened her mouth "man" and closed her mouth "man" at a young age! No, when this crazy county prince leaves, I must teach her well what to say and what not to say!
"It's just right! Master also hates those pretentious women with impure thoughts! One woman in the backyard is enough, if there are too many, it will be a disaster for the family!!" Zhu Junyang still remembers the source of his temperamental change—the one who wanted to harm her. The bitch of his mother and concubine! She usually looks like a holy white lotus in her attire, but she is actually a black-hearted femme fatale inside!
Yu Xiaocao didn't know if he was serious, why would he have fun with her as a little peasant girl? She wrinkled her small face and tried to evade it in every possible way: "Little Prince, there has been a saying since ancient times: the orders of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Your marriage depends on the decision of the prince and the princess. It is too disrespectful for you to bring it up so hastily. Home?"
Only then did Yu Hai have the opportunity to interject: "Cao'er is right! Thanks to your noble status as the county prince, otherwise we would have kicked you out for being so promiscuous! Although we are a family of ordinary people, Cao'er is also The jewel in our family's palm, how can we allow you to ask for it with a few words?"
Zhu Junyang looked at the future father-in-law seriously, nodded and said: "Uncle Yu, what you said is true! You are taking the liberty!! Don't worry, I can make my own decisions about my marriage!! I will go back and write a letter, please father Come to the other courtyard, my father, queen mother and concubine will come to visit in person someday, and then talk about the two families... "
"Wait! Wait a minute!!" Yu Xiaocao remained silent, and her marriage was settled, she interrupted the conversation between her father and Xiaojun Wang sharply, "Xiaojun Wang, please think again, don't be arrogant. How can two people who have no feelings stay together for a long time?"
"Xiaocao, do you hate me?" Zhu Junyang was a little uncertain in his heart. Many ladies in Beijing who had heard of his reputation always felt mixed emotions of fear, apprehension, and admiration when they saw him. He was afraid that Yu Xiaocao would not want to see him if he heard about his past.
Yu Xiaocao shook her head, Zhu Junyang's eyes suddenly lit up. Yu Xiaocao looked at the county prince who was suddenly in a good mood with some headaches, and said helplessly: "Just because you don't hate it doesn't mean you like it! What I yearn for is a couple who love each other, not a couple who respect each other as guests."
"As long as you don't hate it, it's not a big problem! Isn't there a saying of 'long time makes love'? When my mother and concubine married my father, they only met my father a few times. Isn't it happy after marriage? At present, among the noble ladies in Beijing, who doesn't envy my mother and concubine who dote on her all in one?" What Zhu Junyang didn't explain was that his father, the king, met his mother and concubine by chance, and fell in love at first sight. This marriage was requested by the king himself!
"Not all men are as affectionate as Prince Jing!" Yu Xiaocao expressed her powerlessness. Who will save her? Take away this county prince who suddenly went crazy!
"Father Zi Xiao! I am the son of my father, and if my father can do it, I can do it too!!" Zhu Junyang was decisive. Although he hadn't figured out what his feelings for the little girl were, he finally met someone who made him A woman who doesn't hate or upset, even though she is a little younger, she doesn't want to let go!
