Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 32 Fame

Chapter 29 Reputation

Pei Yunkuang turned his head and said to the crowd: "Since today's matter ends here, it must not be passed on to others."

What he meant not only included the matter of these four people, but also her "grievances". He didn't want others to misunderstand her. The situation was really urgent just now, so he had to do it as a last resort.But he didn't know whether these people understood his hidden meaning, or he didn't make it clear out of some psychology.

He took a long breath, finally felt tired and painful, and told Qu Liudao: "Stop the work here, move everything away, and pack it up tonight."

Qu Liu'er had someone make a simple stretcher and carried Pei Yunkuang to the foot of the mountain.Soon his guards were assembled, and the group mounted their horses and headed back.

He still rides with her, but his state of mind is not the same as before, and hers is even more so.

There was a small bloodstain on her cloak. It was originally a pink cloak, but it was dyed with a dark plum.He really wanted to see how her injury was, but felt it was wrong.Even if you ask, it seems that something in your heart will be disturbed.

The scene on the mountain was very unreal, like a dream.He is obsessed with cleanliness, why at that moment, when he saw the arrow with the man's blood piercing her skin, he lowered his head... Could it be that he was possessed by a demon at that time?

He followed that person, was he looking for a chance to kill him, or was he worried about her?
He hurriedly stopped more thoughts and deliberately felt the pain in his feet.Sometimes pain can keep you calm.

Back at the palace, Si Tian hurried to Su Pian's room and asked her to treat Pei Yunkuang's injuries.

Su Pian was shocked when she saw her, her shoulder and throat were hurt, what happened?

She stood up and wanted to take a closer look: "Come on, let me have a look."

Si Tian hurriedly said: "My lord is injured, sister Su went to see him first." She didn't care about herself, so she pulled Su Pian away.

His boots had been taken off, but his socks were glued together with flesh and blood.Su Pian took the scissors and cut it open gently. His toes were already black. Si Tian breathed a sigh of relief and realized that he was just lying to that person, and the toes were still intact.But looking at it like this, it was not lightly smashed.

"Black nails really don't look good, no wonder women dye their nails red." When Su Pian applied the medicine to him, he gasped and still joked.

Su Pian wrapped his feet well, raised her head and said to Si Tian, ​​"Let me see your injuries."

Just as she wanted her to see it, she suddenly realized that the injury on her shoulder was really inappropriate to be exposed in front of him, so she whispered: "Sister Su, let's go back and see it."

Su Pian nodded, and said to Pei Yunkuang: "My lord is resting these few days, it's best not to walk on the ground."

He nodded: "Well, this king enjoys the taste of enjoying the rest of his life in advance."

Both Su Pian and Si Tian couldn't help laughing.But Si Tian's smile was a bit more astringent than Su Pian's.It must be very painful to hurt his foot like that. He still tries to be brave and insists on following that person. Is it all because of her, or just some for her?
She calmly stopped her thoughts, and walked out quickly, afraid that he would see something unnatural in her expression.The scene on the mountain is just an occasional shock, but the years down the mountain are flowing. She just wants to keep things as usual. She has learned a lot after experiencing the family disease.

Stepping onto the corridor, facing Concubine Xu hurried over with someone.Her usual expression is very indifferent, but at this moment, there is a look of worry on her brows, but she looks better than usual.

She and Su Pian hurriedly saluted sideways.

Xu asked anxiously, "Where is the prince injured?"

Su Pian said: "Princess, don't worry, the prince's injury is not a problem, it's on his feet."

Xu was a little relieved, and without bothering to talk to them, walked towards Pei Yunkuang's bedroom.She was the one who could care about him and comfort him, Si Tian couldn't help but turned his head to look at her, only to see that Mrs. Xu was also turning to look at her.Her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly followed Su Pian back to Fangfeishao.

**** *** *** *** **** **** *** *** **** **** *** * **** ****
Back at Su Pian's residence, Si Tian closed the door and unbuttoned his shirt. There was a scar on his shoulder, not too serious, the blood had already clogged.

Su Pian gave her good medicine and asked her to change clothes.Then he smeared gold and jade ointment on her throat.The cool ointment on the throat evoked the thrilling scene just now.The fear of the arrow hitting the throat was not as good as the turbulent waves that the kiss aroused in the heart.

That moment, that scene, kept flashing before her eyes. She couldn't calm down her thoughts for a long time, so she had no choice but to go to the small kitchen in the garden.

She likes to knead the dough when she is troubled.The dough rolled around in the palm of the hand, as if it could break up troubles and knead them into pieces.

Suddenly, Yinger, a maid in the garden, came to call her: "Si Tian, ​​the princess wants you to go."

She was startled, hurriedly put the dough in her hand aside, washed her hands hastily, and followed Yinger.

Didn't Mrs. Xu just go to see him?Why did you come out so soon? What's the matter with calling her?She became a little uneasy, thinking that when she looked back at her just now, she was meeting her gaze.

After entering Xu's main room, she bowed her head and saluted, her heart began to beat.

Xu smiled: "I remember your name is Si Tian, ​​right?"

"Yes."

"You have served the prince very well. I have never rewarded you, He Mei. Bring those jewelry to Miss Si."

He Mei held a delicate small square box and placed it in front of her eyes.

This reward came very suddenly, she hastily declined: "I dare not ask for a reward from the princess because of my duty."

Xu, however, with a slight smile, insisted on letting her take it.

She had no choice but to bite the bullet and pick a bracelet, very old-fashioned in color.

Seeing that she picked out a khaki bracelet, Mrs. Xu felt a little better.This girl seems to have a wink, and she also seems to be relatively well-behaved.She couldn't help looking at her stomach and slender waist again, but nothing could be seen at all.She bit her lip, forced a smile and said, "Miss Si, take good care of yourself."

This sentence was nonsensical, and it took Si Tian a long time to realize it. Did she hear about the incident on the mountain?However, Pei Yunkuang clearly stated that no rumors were allowed.So did she say this about pregnancy?She immediately felt that her face was going to burn, and she didn't know how to answer the words.

Mrs. Xu didn't seem to mean that, she flicked her sleeves lightly, and said calmly: "Miss Si is injured and needs to be recuperated, and I will send someone to attend the prince's study."

When she came out of Xu's main room, her palms were sweating.What does she mean by cultivating well?She won't misunderstand her and him, right?The more she thought about it, the more disturbed she became, she lowered her head and hurried back to Fang Feishao, intending to ask Su Pian what she meant.

After she finished talking about the thrilling scene on the mountain, she naturally omitted his action.After Su Pian listened, she didn't speak for a long time.

Si Tian looked at her with a blushing face, afraid that she might have misunderstood something.What he said was just an expedient way to confuse the enemy, but it must not be spread, otherwise how will she behave and marry in the future?As soon as these words came out, he was the only one she could marry. She didn't think about that step, and she didn't dare to think about it.

Su Pian sighed and said, "Si Tian, ​​I like you very much, you look like my sister. But, do you know how she is now?"

"how?"

"She used to be by the prince's side. Once, when the emperor was hunting, he praised her casually, and the prince sent her to the palace that night. In fact, the emperor was addicted to alchemy, and all the women in the harem were widows. My sister even Yes, she's been a little out of sorts lately, and occasionally suffers from hysteria."

Si Tian was silent, and secretly held his fingers together.

"I said this to let you understand one thing. It's okay for others to misunderstand you. Don't misunderstand yourself. That's it."

Si Tian smiled lightly, she understood what Su Pian meant.

Knowing that nothing can be done, it is impossible, but he has no choice but to control his heart.

She didn't think too much or ask for anything, she just admired him secretly in her heart.

This admiration is without desire or desire.

Twilight is sweet, not long after dinner, Xu sent someone to deliver bird's nest and tonics.

Si Tian became more and more panicked, what did she mean?The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell him this kind of worry, so should he go to Mrs. Xu to clarify?How important is the reputation of a maid in his eyes?

Her heart was in a mess, and she understood that Xu Shi was not as indifferent as she appeared on the outside, she must have someone in his bodyguard, so she suddenly became concerned about herself.After all, she had been by Pei Yunkuang's side for several months, and she had never asked, nor rewarded.It is by no means unreasonable to pay so much attention to her all of a sudden.

She was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well, the next morning, the housekeeper called her: "Miss Si, the prince told you to go to the study."

She usually goes to the study early in the morning, because Pei Yunkuang is used to getting up early.But yesterday Mrs. Xu said that another person would be sent to serve in the study, so she didn't go there.She hurried to his study, but saw that there was only him in the study, and there were no new maids.

"Are you uncomfortable?" He was half lying on the soft couch reading a book, his injured foot was covered with fat.He was very surprised to see Hemei here this morning, and asked the housekeeper to call her, thinking that her injury was not feeling well, but judging by her complexion, she seemed to be fine.

When she came, she had decided on the way that if he asked, she would truthfully tell Xu's arrangement yesterday.After he listened, there was no movement.

She also whispered Xu's reward and soup.She thought, as smart as he is, he must be able to hear Xu's meaning.She didn't want Mrs. Xu to misunderstand anything. Although her parents had never had any of these incidents in the rich family, she heard her mother mention the wives and concubines in her grandparents' house. She didn't want to get involved in it. It's just a false name.

Admiring a person does not necessarily mean being side by side with him.It's like she likes flowers, but she never picks them, and they will wither soon after picking them off. It's better to put them on the branches to see them for a longer time.

He heard her cryptic meaning, and was a little surprised.Xu Shi has eyeliner by his side, he already knew it.However, what he said in a hurry was taken so seriously by her, and she paid attention to Si Tian, ​​which made him feel uneasy.Another woman's pregnancy is naturally a fatal blow to Xu, will she do anything to Si Tian?If he was an ordinary maid, he would naturally not care about the safety of his reputation, but she was different.

Although he is not a womanizer, he has also seen countless people, and he can see that she has a heart for him.But she calmly draws herself out of the circle, unwilling to take on a false name and become real. This is very different from the women around him before, and he values ​​it even more.

He put down the book and said to her: "Go and ask Ying Ping at the door to call the concubine. You are still injured, rest for a few days, and you don't need to come here."

She hesitated for a moment, then said: "My lord, can I go to the racecourse to learn how to ride a horse these few days?"

He was a little unhappy, wouldn't she want to share a ride with him?Many women deliberately look for various opportunities to approach him, but she is very special, she stays away when she finds an opportunity, and does not want to get too close to him.She was clearly tempted, but she was so calm and self-sufficient, which made him feel rebellious, and wanted to find opportunities to get closer to her, for example, to teach her how to ride a horse.It's a pity that my feet are inconvenient, and I'm currently "retirement", this one doesn't work at all.

He had no choice but to wave his hand resentfully: "Let the housekeeper find a more docile horse."

"Thank you, my lord."

He jokingly said, "Why don't I teach you when my king's foot is healed?" He knew she would definitely not agree, but he still liked to tease her.

Sure enough, she refused: "Don't dare to work for the prince."

She blushed and hurriedly resigned, letting him teach, fearing that she would never be able to learn.

Looking at her flustered and blushing face, he felt better.It's fun to tease her.

She went out, and responded to the maid at the door: "Please trouble my sister to invite the princess to come over, the prince has something to discuss with the princess."

Walking through the corridor, she felt much more relaxed. He understood her meaning and respected her meaning. She was still a little different in his heart.She was faintly happy, but apprehensive.

It was sunny after the snow, and everything looked clean and bright.There are crystal-clear icicles hanging on the treetops, irradiated by the sun, slowly melting, and finally becoming invisible.But she will always remember that piece of ice in her heart.
