cold hearted son-in-law

"At the end of the banquet, the rulers and ministers of China ended their festivities, and the Imperial Garden talked about their military exploits. The emperor Linxuan gave the seal to the Marquis, and the general wore a ribbon and left the palace." Several people in the wing room were laughing and having fun, but outside the door came the sound of poetry reciting. sound.

"It seems to be singing about the last celebration banquet to worship the general!" Shi Ze called out first.

Chu Yunxi just sighed that the sound insulation effect of this wing was too poor, and was a little surprised by the sound.

"Qin Jue!" Xiao Yichen said while covering his sore nose, looking at Chu Yunxi.

Li Mo stopped screaming, and rolled the boiled egg by his eye sockets, keeping silent just like Lin Qi.

"Why did he come here to chant poems?" Shi Ze said disdainfully. He had just been frightened by Mrs. Hua, and his uneasiness also made him a little angry. Hearing that it was Qin Jue who was showing off his elegance outside, He who had never been used to Qin Jue walked to the door in three steps at a time, opened the door, and blurted out before anyone could see clearly: "Mr. Is it okay to have a meal?"

Lin Qi looked at the history and wanted to cause trouble, so he rushed forward to apologize to others, but when he saw the people outside the door, his words got stuck in his throat.

A few people in the aisle were going to the door directly opposite. After hearing Shi Ze's angry words, they turned around and looked back, both of them were stunned.

Chu Yunxi sat at the table in the room, quietly watching the figure of Qin Jue and the eldest princess standing side by side.A gentle and handsome son, a beautiful princess who is all over the country, a childhood sweetheart, he and she should be a match made in heaven.

Chu Yunxi glanced over the two of them quickly, his eyes flickering unclearly, but he seemed to have figured it out in an instant, stood up with a hearty smile, approached the door and saluted the eldest princess: "Yunxi has seen His Royal Highness, but I don't know if your Highness is coming down." Here, I have offended you so much, please forgive me. If the two of you don’t dislike it, why don’t you come together? There are many people and it’s lively.” Chu Yunxi saw that there were only a few servants behind the eldest princess and Qin Jue, so he spoke out. invite.

The eldest princess looked at the smile on Chu Yunxi's face, and nodded lightly. Qin Jue smiled unnaturally. Seeing the eldest princess nodding, he could only hurriedly say: "Brother Chu, you are too polite, sorry to bother you." .”

Chu Yunxi ignored Shi Ze who was glaring at her angrily, and welcomed her in openly.

The room is very large, even for six or seven people, it still looks empty.After everyone saluted, Li Mo avoided going out because of the pain in his eyes, while Shi Ze looked at Chu Yunxi with a look of resentment, and did not speak.Lin Qi sat beside him, quietly accompanying him.Xiao Yichen saw that Chu Yunxi asked Xiaoer to bring in a lot of food and wine, then looked at Qin Jue and the eldest princess, sighed, and did not avoid it because his clothes were dirty.

It's just that when Chu Yunxi sent someone to go back home quickly to bring the 'blood wine' in a jade bottle, the expressions of everyone in the room were different.

Yupi blood wine is bright red in quality, mellow and strong, with a unique taste, burning in the stomach, but endless aftertaste, and this wine is not only small in quantity, but only in a small town in the northwest near the deep mountains and old forests.

This wine was a gift from Lin Qi, and Chu Yunxi brought it all the way back from the border.At that time, when I was at the border, I visited the underground wine storage of Lin Qi Jinse Winery, which contained countless fine wines. When Chu Yunxi saw the jade bottle of blood wine for the first time, he thought it was red wine. It is filled with the unique 'blood wine' of the dense forest tribe in the northwest.

After hearing this, Chu Yunxi laughed and asked, "It would be good to call red wine made from grapes, but why is it called blood wine? Could it be brewed with blood?"

Lin Qi looked at her and said jokingly: "This wine is not wine. I once read a story about this wine in a book about traveling. Houses are built, the houses are adjacent to each other, chickens and dogs smell each other, and fruit trees form forests. The old, young and old women in the clan are united and harmonious, men farm and women weave, fish and hunt, live a comfortable life, isolated from the world. The tribes there believe in mountain gods, and marriage between men and women Independently, if the men and women in the clan are in love with each other, they will brew a pot of fine wine together, put it in a jade pot, which probably means that the dog has a heart of ice in the jade pot, and then bury it somewhere in the mountain as a sacrifice, thanking the mountain god As a matchmaker, let the mountain and forest gods bless each other's friendship, and the marriage will be completed. Later, a man strayed into his clan and fell in love with a woman in his clan. Made of jade poultry blood wine for sale, because the taste is bitter and unique, the brewing method is unique and not widely known, so few people know about this wine. I saw it at the time, so I wanted to look for it.”

"After you found it, you stole the second pot and came back?" Chu Yunxi laughed when he heard this, and asked Lin Qi teasingly.

Lin Qi smiled and said: "I found it after searching, but it is different from the description in the book. Of these two pots of wine, one pot was brewed by me, and the other pot was bought in that town! I was in that small town in the northwest. After drinking this blood wine, I couldn’t forget it after drinking it, so I went to the deep mountains and old forests to search hard for half a year, and finally I found it! It was there that I realized that this wine was not originally called blood wine, but was called ‘tear wine’ there. "Shangjiu", if the two people are not sincere, they will brew this red wine, and the wine will die. Or when the husband and wife change their hearts and leave each other, they will brew wine together again. Continue to live, if it is red, the two will drink it together. From now on, we will never know each other. People there rarely brew wine with another person. Because blood wine is unlucky, so it is not common. People there see that I love wine. He was interested in blood wine, so he told me how to brew it, and I stayed there for several months, and I only brewed this pot of blood wine."

"'Tears wine', 'Shang wine'?" Chu Yunxi asked with a smile, and then said: "Based on the story you told, it would be better to call it 'bitter wine', which is appropriate and easy to understand!"

"This blood wine was taken by the brewer in that small town. Because of its unique taste, I later asked for the consent of the descendants of the brewer and included it in the "Famous Liquor" I compiled, and renamed it "Severing Love Wine" ', ranked No.11 in Yipin, and it was only known to the world, but very few people actually drank it. In fact, I stayed there for a few months before I realized why the family in that small town brewed red blood wine. It should be the problem of the spring water in the mountain. The people of the clan use the water from the mountain spring to make wine. It is sweet and clear, and has never been exhausted. At that time, when I drank it, it had the astringent taste of green fruits. But the blood wine in that small town was as bright red as blood, with a deep and strong aroma, bitter in the mouth, and burning in the stomach." Lin Qi said, shaking his head as if thinking of something, and said: "You can take this wine back to Beijing if you like it, and drink it after your injury recovers."

Lin Qi saw that Chu Yunxi asked someone to bring the pot of blood wine, looked at the princess's calm expression, and thought something was wrong in his heart.At the beginning, she said that Chu Yunxi would take it back to Beijing to wait for the wound to drink, but she didn't expect her to drink it in front of the eldest princess. What did she want?

Shi is an alcoholic. He has never drunk or heard of all kinds of fine wine. When he saw the jade pot blood wine, he turned his head and glared at Lin Qi. He just poured wine for everyone himself, and didn't say anything else, and he didn't say much.

This wine is indeed rare, but as the eldest princess and Qin Jue were born, they must have seen and heard all kinds of famous wines.I'm afraid that Xiao Yichen is the only one sitting here who doesn't know about this wine, but Xiao Yichen is not stupid, seeing that everyone sitting here is staring at this wine in a wrong way, although they don't know, they don't ask more questions.

The jade pot was opened, and the room was full of fragrance. Chu Yunxi raised his wine glass, and toasted Qin Jue for the first time, saying, "Brother Qin, I would like to toast you for Shi Ze's unintentional offense just now, as an apology. .”

Qin Jue hurriedly stood up with the cup, and said repeatedly: "I don't dare to make an apology. This cup should be respected to Brother Chu." Chu Yunxi stretched out the cup, and there was a clear and pleasant clinking sound, and Chu Yunxi had already raised his neck to see the bottom of the cup , Qin Jue hesitated to speak while holding the cup, and finally sat down after drinking it in one gulp.

The eldest princess sitting between the two of them didn't speak, just stared blankly at the bloody wine in the jade cup.

"His Royal Highness, we met by chance today, but meeting is fate. Yunxi respects you with this glass of wine, and I do what you want." Chu Yunxi said as he glanced at Princess Chang, drank all the wine in the glass, with a smile on his face , I laughed at myself: Nie Yuan!

The eldest princess raised her head and glanced at Chu Yunxi, she didn't take the cup, she just said in a flat tone: "I don't drink strong alcohol because I don't drink alcohol."

"Oh, the eldest princess eats vegetables, let's have a drink, this wine is good." Chu Yunxi said indifferently, and called the rest of the people to drink.

The eldest princess didn't drink or move her chopsticks, she just sat quietly at the table holding a teacup.She was dressed in a simple and elegant water blue long dress, and her hair was simply pulled up with a sandalwood hairpin. She was calm and dignified like a splashed ink painting.

Shi Ze and Xiao Yichen accompanied him to drink, together with Chu Yunxi and Qin Jue. After the four of them drank up a bottle of wine, Xiao Yichen was already drunk and lay on the table with his head covered. Chu Yunxi saw Qin Jue dizzy, Staggeringly got up to look for the latrine, hurriedly followed and said: "I'll go too, I'll help you."

Shi Ze was so happy when he saw it, he quickly stood up and shouted: "I'm going too, I'm going too." He got up so fast that he almost fell over, but luckily he was stopped by Lin Qi who was awake next to him.

"Your Highness the eldest princess, Cao Min helped Ah Ze to go out to the meeting, excuse me." Lin Qi saw that the eldest princess nodded his head lightly, and then pulled Shi Ze out. Chu Yunxi, who was outside supporting Qin Jue, had already disappeared.

"His Royal Highness, is the show over?" Xiao Yichen turned his head and looked around in a daze, only the eldest princess was sitting at the table in the room.

"Doctor Xiao?" The eldest princess looked at the drunk Xiao Yichen, carefully looked at his facial features, and after a long time, she let go of her clenched left hand, the palm was dripping with blood.

"Your Highness, I am no longer an imperial physician. What can your Highness call me for?" Xiao Yichen was dizzy, but his heart was frightened by the gaze of the Eldest Princess, so he pulled himself together and asked as gently and politely as before.

"Has Chu Yunxi told you anything since he returned to Beijing?" The eldest princess looked at him and asked slowly.

"No, today is Yunxi's first meeting after returning to Beijing. I was about to talk to him, but I didn't come in a hurry." Xiao Yichen muttered a few words, and looked at the eldest princess in confusion.

"Ben Gong and Cousin Qin only have a brother-sister relationship." The eldest princess said, staring straight into Xiao Yichen's eyes.

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yichen looked at the eldest princess in a daze, as if he didn't understand what the eldest princess said. He had naturally heard about the scandal between the eldest princess and Qin Jue, but shouldn't this be said to his cousin Chu Yunxi?He asked in confusion, "What exactly does the princess want to say?"

"Do you know what kind of wine this is?" The eldest princess did not answer him, but continued to ask.

Xiao Yichen shook his head in confusion.

The eldest princess ignored him and continued: "This bloody wine is called 'Severing Love Wine', and it is listed as the first product in the list of wines. There is only one brewery in a small town in the northwest, and the output is very small. , and this wine is unlucky, drinking it together as a husband and wife is the meaning of breaking friendship."

Xiao Yichen opened his mouth when he heard this, most of the drunkenness was awakened, he looked at the untouched wine glass in front of the eldest princess, and after a while he stumbled and said a word: "Maybe... maybe Yunxi doesn't know this, and doesn't mean that , It's... a misunderstanding."

"I don't care whether Chu Yunxi is intentional or unintentional, but I hate people who do not trust their words the most. The promise he made in his handwriting when he proposed in front of everyone is still there. I am definitely not someone who will let him play tricks." Eldest Princess Looking at Xiao Yichen calmly, he said.

The eldest princess knew in her heart that these words should have been said to Chu Yunxi, but if Chu Yunxi was sitting here now, she might not be able to say them.Although she and Chu Yunxi have been married for more than half a year, there always seems to be something between them. When Chu Yunxi expressed closeness to her, he just asked her to help her, but on weekdays, he was respectful and indifferent .For half a year at the border, she didn't reply to the letter, and Chu Yunxi never sent back a letter after that.It's funny that the last time she left the bag, she thought it was Chu Yunxi who was willing to be honest with her, but she struggled several times and never opened it, just to make Chu Yunxi trust her and tell her what is a matter of life and death secret.But after returning, Chu Yunxi not only didn't take the initiative to mention it, but also directly returned the Yu Ruyi she gave as a gift. Don't you know the meaning of Yu Ruyi?And when she was angry, she even asked her to help deal with the Bai family. What does Chu Yunxi think of her?She is the Princess of Huaxia, and everyone in the world knows that she is Chu Yunxi's wife, but Chu Yunxi's attitude towards her seems to be perfunctory, without any intention of husband and wife.Only now did she understand that in Chu Yunxi's heart, she might regard herself as a backer and an ally, but definitely not as a wife.The relationship between them is not like a husband and wife, but more like two people trapped together by the turbulent river. Chu Yunxi wants to avenge her family, and she wants to assist Chengqian to ascend the throne. She thought that they could support each other and walk together. , but Chu Yunxi has a cold attitude and is unwilling to restrain the court. If this continues, one day, they will gradually drift apart.

When Chu Yunxi made an agreement with the other five states on the border to request the imperial court to confer a hereditary Jiedu envoy, the eldest princess guessed what Chu Yunxi's plan was. She had power in her hands and returned to the border to do her Zhaoyi Festival after avenging her revenge. Dushi, no longer bound by anyone, he can be as high as the sky, the clouds are broad, the flying dragon is flying in the sky, what about her?To watch each other die?The eldest princess clenched her hands tightly. The crown prince has not sat on the throne, and has not fulfilled her mother's will. She will not leave the capital, nor will she let Chu Yunxi go, and the emperor will not let the tiger go back to the mountain, so Chu Yunxi can only stay in the capital. And stay by her side for her own use, whether she likes it or not.

Seeing Chu Yunxi bring out the 'love-breaking wine' now, disrupting her plan to procrastinate and keep Chu Yunxi, but Chu Yunxi has already withdrawn after preparing for revenge, the eldest princess feels a little flustered, she thinks I should ask someone to remind Chu Yunxi that the promise I wrote in my hand is still there, if I dare to carry her away now, I will wait for her to 'dispose of' at will!This person's words can make Chu Yunxi listen to it without offending him, so Xiao Yichen is the most suitable person.

But if the eldest princess said these words to Chu Yunxi herself, maybe the relationship between the two would not be like this.The eldest princess thinks that Chu Yunxi understands her, but Chu Yunxi just sees that she is unhappy, but she doesn't understand anything. Gentle and tolerant, not to mention the special meaning implied by the eldest princess.

And although Xiao Yichen was Chu Yunxi's cousin and the only relative now, Chu Yunxi was even more afraid of revealing his identity, and he was unwilling to get involved in anything.Xiao Yichen also didn't know about the conflict between the eldest princess and Chu Yunxi. After hearing what the eldest princess said, he instinctively protected Chu Yunxi, and said firmly: "Princess, please calm down. Yunxi is a trustworthy person, and he will never dare to play tricks on you." Your Highness, if there is anything wrong in ordinary times, please also ask Your Highness Haihan. Yunxi is a little unreasonable, if the eldest princess makes some suggestions, Yunxi will definitely listen."

Xiao Yichen thought it was just a small conflict between the two of them, but he didn't know anything about this kind of housework since he wasn't married yet and he wasn't in love.Moreover, these two are not ordinary couples. If they have any housework, it is probably only the emperor who can deal with it as an elder. Since the emperor lives deep in the palace and is busy seeking Taoism and alchemy, he probably doesn't want to take care of it.The two of them have conflicts, and they can only adjust themselves.

The eldest princess fell silent, Xiao Yichen's words were innocuous, but she didn't understand what she meant, it seemed that the only way to explain it to Chu Yunxi in person was to let the matter of the bag be uncovered. When the princess thought that she bowed her head first, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she was even more determined not to let Chu Yunxi leave the capital to be at ease.
