He did mean it at the beginning, but it was not what the Queen Mother understood on the surface.
At that time, he was on the construction site for a long time. He thought that there were many beauties in the palace, but he finally bumped into one, but she turned out to be a dominatrix with a fierce personality.
So I didn't intend to return the silk handkerchief I picked up from Aster, but kept it as a souvenir for myself.
He was working in the ancestral hall and couldn't keep that thing on him at all times, so he conveniently placed it under a bench.
It happened that the ranking belonged to the late emperor.
So some people in the palace secretly ridiculed his ancestors for smoking and stepping on dog poop.
When it comes to luck, he still has some luck.
"A person who takes advantage of opportunities to rise to power." Zheng Shuwen commented quietly, with a smile on her lips, but it didn't reach her eyes.
It was hard to hear the words, and he couldn't tell whether they were good or bad. Chen Yuan lowered his head, looking at his nose with concern.
"Okay, you can go down now." Zheng Shuwen seemed to be really tired and yawned lazily.
Chen Yuan couldn't understand the deep meaning of her words and didn't dare to ask, so he could only exit in a polite manner. When he saw Zi Wan walking in, Zi Wan had a delicate face and dignified facial features, as if she had an aura formed through years of experience, with a kind of indifference and aloofness that kept strangers away from her.
However, Chen Yuan didn't seem to take her aloofness into consideration, and walked up to greet her with a wink: "Hey hey hey... where are you looking?"
Zi Wan didn't look sideways, as if she didn't know this person at all. Even when the two of them passed each other, Leng Yi's brows didn't even move.
Chen Yuan was very frustrated: "Isn't it you?" with a slightly complaining tone.
The two of them were already separated. Chen Yuan stared at Zi Yuan's back in surprise, but... the beauty's back actually stopped.
"Hey, I knew you wouldn't be so heartless." Chen Yuan immediately approached: "Women...should smile more."
Before she finished speaking, Zi Wan rolled her eyes and said, "Guard, please respect yourself. This is Cining Palace, not a place where you can chat with random people. I won't accompany you."
"Wow?" Chen Yuan's jaw dropped.
I haven't seen this girl for a few days. She looks like a different person.
It was freezing cold.
"Don't you understand?" Zi Wan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed through her eyes.
Chen Yuan almost took a breath of cold air: "I understand, Aunt Ziyuan, Auntie, please go slowly and don't see me off."
No wonder people often say that women are fickle.
I can't afford to offend him, but I can still afford to hide.
Chen Yuan immediately changed his look with a low eyebrow and a smile on his face: "Goodbye!"
Zi Wan stared at him coldly without saying a word, giving him a condescending look.
Chen Yuan shuddered in his heart. He didn't know why there were so many women in the world. Why did he have a little thought for this person? Could this be the legendary - being a bitch
Zi Yuan looked at the person who was escaping in a hurry from a distance. For a long time, the cold look on her face finally disappeared, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised to a melodious angle.
"Auntie, do you know this person?" The second-class palace maid on the side stepped forward to ask Zi Wan.
Although she usually had a good relationship with Zi Wan, it was only on a good level and had not yet reached the point of being sincere.
"Do your thing! What are you talking about?!"
The maid was so choked up that she couldn't even lift her head.
…
Liao Kingdom, in the palace of the Crown Prince.
At 1:00 in the morning, Xiao Han opened his eyes, got up straight away, got out of bed and came to the study. The manuscript paper on the table was still in its original place. He looked at it solemnly and meditated quietly, but he still couldn't understand it.
Suddenly, the faint scent of women's powder came, and soon after, Beauty Zhou, dressed in tulle, with her exquisite figure showing charm, slowly came closer.
"Prince, why don't you call me?" She smiled, stepped forward and nestled on Xiao Han's shoulder.
Xiao Han stretched out his hand and took her into his arms, his eyes dark: "Is it time, beauty, to fulfill the promise between us?"
Zhou Meiren boldly hugged his neck. After listening to what he said, she burst into laughter. Then she came forward and whispered in Xiao Han's ear: "Shanshan will never forget what I promised you."
Shanshan is her nickname.
Slender and tender fingers pointed at the shape on the picture above: "This is the structural diagram of a hot air balloon. It's just missing a corner, which should be the fuel. But it doesn't matter. Make it according to this proportion first, and then heat it with fire. If you use air, you can fly.”
"So simple?" Xiao Han couldn't believe it. He didn't recognize the proportional symbols above, but it was a trivial matter. He could try it out by asking a craftsman to try it. But how did this thing get to heaven? It was him these days. A puzzling place.
What Zhou Meiren said now is ordinary, so it shouldn't be false.
"Come here." Xiao Han immediately ordered: "According to this proportion, make a hot air balloon. The material is... canvas."
Xiao Han remembered that the things he saw with his own eyes were made of canvas.
The guard immediately followed the instructions and withdrew.
Xiao Han lowered his head and glanced at the person who was still clinging to him: "I didn't expect that at such a young age and as a woman, you know so much."
Zhou Meiren noticed the flash of impatience on Xiao Han's face, and immediately stood up knowingly, but still leaned against the desk like a boneless person: "The prince has underestimated women. I understand this and it's not surprising. Our children there, regardless of gender, will be taught some common sense of life from an early age."
Xiao Han's face suddenly darkened: "You mean, this prince doesn't even know common sense?"
"Oh, of course not." Zhou Meiren realized that she had said something wrong and quickly corrected herself: "Prince, I didn't mean what I meant. What I meant was..."
Xiao Han didn't have the patience to listen to what she said. His thick brows furrowed slightly: "Go on, you should go back to your father."
Pushing people away after finishing their work... It's really merciless.
Zhou Meiren bit her lip and felt a little aggrieved: "Prince, do you dislike me? But last night we..."
Xiao Han was still suppressing his patience, but she actually mentioned this and stood up immediately, full of sinister aura: "Are you threatening me?"
"I don't dare." After sleeping, he didn't dare to say another word.
"roll."
…
The night is as black as ink, and the willow branches are above the moon.
Cheng Wan Miao was sitting in her room with a depressed expression, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand, but the handkerchief was heavily wrinkled and might even be torn at any time.
She is now staying in the villa of Mrs. Si Bing. The maid here naturally does not regard her as her master, so the room arranged is also a side room with only a patio at the door, not an independent courtyard.
Naturally, it is not as good as in the Marquis Mansion, where there is a small courtyard with a single family, and there are not seven or eight, but five or six servants waiting in front and back.
But... she can tolerate all this.
The only thing that couldn't be tolerated was that her cousin Fu Tingye had never taken the initiative to see her since he came back from Jianmen.
But Hua Qingxue was very diligent in going there every day.
There were slight footsteps in the corridor, and she couldn't help but look curiously, but the moment she saw Zijuan, she was disappointed and resentful.
With a thud, Cheng Wanmiao kicked the nearest stool to herself.
Zijuan went out to find out information for her. When she came back and saw her getting angry, she was holding her breath in her heart: "Miss Cousin, we are living under someone else's roof now, so you should restrain your temper."
Zijuan stepped forward and held up the stool with a disdainful tone.
Cheng Wanmiao was worried that she had nowhere to get angry, so she stood up immediately: "Who do you think you are? Are you even here to point fingers at me now?"
Zijuan was stunned for a moment, then snorted coldly from her nostrils: "Do you think I want to say something about you? If it weren't for the sake of..." When Zijuan said this, she immediately shut up vigilantly.
Cheng Wanmiao was furious and did not hear the deep meaning in Zijuan's words. Instead, she shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out! I never want to see you again!"
idiot!
Zijuan smiled in her heart and clapped her hands: "Okay, I'll just leave. If you have the ability, don't ask me to come back."
After saying the harsh words, he walked away without looking back.
Cheng Wanmiao didn't want this girl to suddenly become so temperamental. She already regretted it when she saw Zijuan walking out. But because of her own face, she held back and didn't say anything, but she didn't expect that it was pitch black outside. Zijuan's figure disappeared into the dark night.
"Hey! Come back!" Cheng Wanmiao was not used to it. She was the only one in the dark surroundings, so she chased her out decisively, but Zijuan was nowhere to be seen.
"Damn girl! I didn't ask her to find out if my cousin is back or not, but she still gets mad at me when she can't do anything like that!" Cheng Wanmiao complained, and bravely walked out, hoping to find Zijuan, or maybe she could do it by the way. Go to Hua Qingxue's place to see if her cousin is there.
But for some reason, Mrs. Si Bing's mansion, which usually didn't feel dark, was extremely dark tonight. It was also a winter night, and the biting cold wind blew from all directions. Cheng Wanmiao shivered unconsciously.
Zijuan has actually been hiding in the darkness inside the patio. There are several trees here with thick branches and leaves. Her petite figure can hide her well.
"This idiot actually has the guts to go out on her own. However, it's okay to let her hit the wall. She will learn a lesson from the experience. I hope she will be smarter in the future."
Zijuan let out a heavy breath and was about to walk out from the shadow of the tree. Suddenly, a figure came to her, scaring her so much that she almost screamed.
