Rebirth's ultimate stand-in

"My lord, why don't you have a cup of tea with Mr. Su?" Feng Meng raised his eyebrows and smiled.He, an abandoned son, finally returned to his home, took the position of Xipinghou firmly as a scapegoat, and propped up a new world for his mother.This year, just like the oath he had sworn when he left Xi'an, one day, he will come back and trample all those who oppressed his mother and son under their feet.Now, he has done it.

There are a lot of chores to do in the reorganization of Xipinghou's army.Chu Ci just planned to sneak over to take a look at Su Ning before leaving, but he ran into these two troublesome crabs.

Chu Ci glanced at the two of them, lifted the wicker, and stepped straight onto the water corridor.Mo Xin was about to follow, but was grabbed by Feng Meng.Feng Meng said with a smile: "Master Mo, should we discuss the matter of water transportation?"

Mo Xin watched helplessly as Chu Ci went to see Su Ning.

Chu Ci also looked eagerly at the people in the water pavilion, and his suppressed emotions surged up one by one.Every step he took seemed to be stepping on the bottom of his heart.The rhythmic sound of the heart "Boom, Boom..." rang clearly in my ears.

Chu Ci suddenly stopped and took a deep breath.Secretly annoyed, he had never been so nervous when he even saw his father and was impeached by the officials, when did he become such a waste!

He caressed his chest and rubbed it vigorously, the tentacles were cold.Chu Ci suddenly woke up, and only then did he realize what he was wearing—purple gold armor, which was originally a symbol of the prince's status, but he had just come off the training ground, and his sweat had mixed the dust into dirty stains...

This is definitely not the impression he wants to give Su Ning!

Chu Ci was thinking about whether he should take a flower petal bath, come to Su Ning refreshedly, and show his most perfect side.

While hesitating under her feet, Su Ning turned her head in a strange way.Seeing Chu Ci on the corridor, he was taken aback for a moment, then stood up and looked at him.

Chu Ci's body felt a little numb, so he stepped forward and sat down in front of Su Ning.Realizing that Su Ning's gaze was still on him, he turned his head inexplicably, without looking at anyone, and without waiting for Su Ning to speak, he said before his heart beat wildly, "I'm thirsty!"

Su Ning was stunned.Chu Ci was seriously injured that day.With Chuci's past temperament, he might use this as an excuse to force him to stay by his side.And such an excuse, Su Ning usually cannot refuse.

Su Ning pushed a cup of tea to Chu Ci's side, and asked, "Is your body alright?"

Chu Ci let out a "hmm".When Su Ning approached, she moved her body unconsciously.Su Ning was baffled by his behavior, and couldn't help sniffing if there was any strange smell on her body.

Although Chu Ci didn't look at Su Ning directly, his attention was all on him.How could he let go of Su Ning's actions? Seeing his small appearance, he felt more and more annoyed, and really wanted to jump directly into the lotus pond to wash himself off.

After drinking the tea in one gulp, Chu Ci suddenly stood up and looked at Su Ning with a mighty force, "...there is still something to do in the army!"

"Oh...then, go get busy!"

"Ok!"

Su Ning looked at the back of the resolutely leaving, pursed her lips, and looked away again.

Although there was no turmoil in Xiping, the military and political power of Marquis Xiping was deprived and taken over by the imperial court.Su Qi had to look up information every day, assess officials, and deal with questions that Qinzhou would present at any time, so he was really busy.

Fortunately, in terms of the army, the emperor's father handed over the full authority to Chu Ci's supervision.The two of them leave early and return late every day.The only chance to meet them is when they are on the road.

As soon as Chu Ci stepped out of the gate of Xipinghou Mansion, he saw Su Qi getting off the sedan chair.Both of them paused and watched each other count their interest.

Su Qi stepped up the steps, with no emotion on his face, "My lord is going back to the barracks?"

"Su Yushi is really early today!" He came back even before the sun set, and it was indeed early.These words are also without emotion.

The two looked at each other's counting interest again, and they really couldn't put on the polite manners in the officialdom, so they just did their own thing.It's just that when they passed each other, Su Qi couldn't help reminding, "This time, I will take Xiao Ning back to the capital! I hope the prince will not be entangled like three years ago!" When he learned that Chu Ci was in Linchuan, he I feel very uneasy in my heart, I really wish to destroy this fellow and that Zhen family together.

Chu Ci was stunned for a moment, "I won't embarrass Su Ning, but it doesn't mean I will let go!"

"you--"

Su Qi was grinding his back molars, but Chu Ci ignored him, walked away quickly, jumped on the horse, glanced at him sideways, his spine was straight, and he didn't give in to anyone.

The whip sounded, and a group of soldiers followed him and drifted away, submerged in the shadow of the sunset flowers.

"You said go back to Beijing?" Su Ning looked at Su Qi with surprise.In the past three years, it's not that he hasn't thought about the possibility of returning to Beijing, nor is it that he doesn't want to go back and see the place where he grew up.However, he is a person who was robbed and disappeared, what will happen if he goes back now?

You won't continue to marry Chuci, will you?

Su Qi stroked Su Ning's head, "This time King Duan has made a great contribution, the emperor will definitely seal it up. It's impossible for Mrs. Liu not to smell the emperor's intentions. Although Mrs. Zhen didn't suffer a serious injury this time, she was still hurting." This is a good opportunity for the Liu family, and it is also a weathervane for civil and military officials. Next, the Liu family will definitely make some moves. One of them is naturally to give King Duan a bright future. They will definitely try to destroy the three years ago Dao imperial decree. Although you have never shown your face in public, this time you have even confronted the Patriarch of the Zhen family face to face, and it is impossible to hide it. It is better to make it public. The Liu family does not have the courage to do anything to you at the feet of the emperor!"

"But..." The marriage contract with Chu Ci is an imperial decree!The person on the dragon chair clearly wanted to embarrass the Su family three years ago, can he easily compromise this time?Su Ning has grown up, and she faintly senses that Chu Hanben's attitude towards their family is very strange.He couldn't say this kind of weirdness, so he could only look at his brother with piercing eyes.

Su Qi smiled "puchi", "This time, if the old emperor dares to act mischievously again, I will let him reveal all the things about sowing dissension against the three big clans in the past few years! Let the people of Dazheng see, their real dragon emperors are all What are you doing!"

Su Ning opened her eyes wide.He has always known that Su Qi is not a pedantic, foolish and loyal person, but he can't be so disrespectful of imperial power!He suddenly remembered the rebellion between Su Qi and the prince in his previous life, and unconsciously began to search for the reason. Could it be that the Su family escaped from Chu Hanben's control?

Thinking about it, this possibility is really great!

The weight of a person's speech is often determined by his ability and strength.The Su family today is not the Su family it was three years ago.Even if it was Chu Hanben, he didn't dare to underestimate these two immature children of the Su family.

The two brothers prepared to return to Beijing with great expectations.Su Ning hasn't seen her father for three years, if she said she didn't want to, it would be a lie.If there was no chance to go back before, that's all.Now when he talked about going home, his whole heart was suspended, and he was flustered.

With the money he earned from Zhen Yi last time in his pocket, he was strolling on the street, thinking he could buy something to make his old father happy.As for that Su Xu family, for Su Qi's sake, he would reluctantly buy him some rouge, gouache, gold, silver and pearl hairpins.

Mo Xin, who had been following behind, watched Su Ning holding a hairpin in a daze, and an unknown fire burst out.

He rushed out of the hiding corner, walked into the store very unclely, coughed heavily, and successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"Shopkeeper, I want this pearl hairpin!"

Su Ning was stunned, and took a look at the things in her hands. Couldn't this guy ask the price first?

"What are you looking at? Is it possible that you still want to choose another flower girl?" Mo Xin's eyes widened, showing great power.

Su Ning laughed out loud, "Actually, I want to pick a gift for my brother and his mother."

This title is a bit interesting.Those who didn't know thought who your brother was.

Mo Xin rubbed his head, a little embarrassed, and hesitated, "You mean your aunt? She is also in her mid-mature, and this thing is for a little girl's home. Buy this?"

Mo Xin diligently helped Su Ning choose a Jade Buddha.

Su Ning's eyes lit up, it seems that Su Xu has fallen in love with eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha these few years, which is really good.Asking for a Jade Buddha is more useful than others.Anyway, this Su Xu clan was also used to pray for Su Qi.

After purchasing the presents, Su Ning and Mo Xin walked out together, and happened to meet Chu Ci in military uniform.Today Chu Ci is also wearing the purple gold armor that belongs to his princely status. This kind of armor is lighter but stronger than ordinary chain mail. The 19-year-old Chu Ci is already very tall and burly. If he stops there casually, he will be a man in charge. Wan Fumo's posture.

But at this moment, he is not being someone else's gate, but Su Ning's Dao.

Su Ning remembered that three years ago, on her birthday, in Gu Yu Zhai in the capital, they also blocked the gate of others like this.It's just that Chu Ci at that time didn't know that he loved Su Ning, and Su Ning at that time only knew to avoid Chu Ci blindly.

Now that time has passed, and looking back, I feel ashamed of the simple and tangled feelings at that time.

Su Ning put on a smile unconsciously, and looked up at this manly man who was sweating under the summer sun.

Chu Ci was stunned, not knowing what Su Ning was laughing at. He frowned slightly, rolled his eyeballs, and said, "Is this body ugly?" He thought he was very clean today.

Su Ning shook her head, "I personally think it's not appropriate for His Royal Highness Duan Wang to block people's door like this!"

Chu Ci looked around, his face blushing unrecognizably, "Well... you go to bed late tonight, I have something to see you!" After that, without waiting for Su Ning to respond, he led a group of people away.There is a new barracks two streets away. Could it be that this guy led the army here deliberately after hearing that he was here?Because it was too late to change the armor, it was too abrupt for a person wearing armor to walk on the street, so by the way, he implicated a group of brothers.

Su Ning shook her head, pushed away her self-indulgent sentimentality, and went straight back to the Hou Mansion.

Mo Xin just followed his tail like this, feeling extremely unhappy, but he didn't dare to speak out to Su Ning.If Su Ning admits that his old relationship has rekindled or something, it's game over for him.This matter is absolutely not allowed!

Isn't it just a few stabs?Is this how to deceive a beauty?That's too cheap, that boy Chu Ci!

Fortunately, Su Ning looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.

But this kind of thing is easy for others to deceive, how can I deceive myself.

Su Ning originally thought it would be okay to wait for Chu Ci by the way.But there was no one in sight until Xu time.He knew that the military camp here is very busy now, and there are many things about Chu Ci, but it's time to withdraw the troops in the middle of the night, right?Maybe that fellow has forgotten it again!

In his previous life, he often committed this kind of stupidity.Chuci told him to wait and he would wait obediently.Once during the Dragon Boat Festival, the two made an appointment to watch the dragon boat. Su Ningsheng basked in the sun for a whole day, but he couldn't wait for a single figure.When he didn't see anyone, his first thought was not to be angry, but whether Chu Ci had encountered some accident. He hadn't had time to eat or drink all day, and rushed into Duanwang's mansion. He saw that the guy was drinking with some young masters. Poetry...

Similar things have happened too many times, every time Su Ning always waits forever.If lucky, the man remembers their agreement, and he will be happy for a long time.

Su Ning sighed and looked at the moonlight, it was already time for her to sleep.This time, he didn't wait any longer.How could I have been so stupid in my previous life, wasting my best time waiting.There are so many things you can do, but life is too short to waste it like that, it's a shame.

After closing the door and stretching, Su Ning lay comfortably on the bed.He originally thought that he would toss and turn because of Chu Ci's missed appointment, but in the end, he just thought for a while before falling into a deep sleep.

It's just that when he was sleeping this time, he dreamed of Chuci.Standing in front of him with a leg of lamb in his hand, he said very proudly: "Actually, it is very good to be my princess! I have meat to eat every day!"

Dimly, he didn't know how he felt when he saw that face, he just looked at the leg of lamb and salivated.

Then, Chu Ci changed his hand, this time it turned into a sword, the sword energy was like a rainbow, covering him, and threatened viciously: "What I can't get, I will destroy it with my own hands!" Said Just a sword came over.

Su Ning knew that this was a dream, and in the dream she thought that she would wake up when the sword fell, but in the end, he struck back with the sword and started fighting with Chu Ci.

His sword skills are not good, but he can use poison.In the end, Chu Ci did not win against him.

At the end of the dream, Chu Ci was holding a bouquet of wild flowers with dewdrops in his hands, his face was soft, his eyes were full of affection, and his handsome face was covered with a thin layer of red light.

What he is wearing at this moment is not the prince's brocade clothes, but a suit of battle armor, not the purple gold armor he saw during the day, but the chain mail armor he often wore in their bloody battles in the previous life. It is heavy, ugly, and the broken parts are covered with Layer after layer was patched.

Seeing this pair of armor stirred up the softest part of his heart.It's just that he holds flowers in his hands...

Before Su Ning could speak, she woke up with a shudder, and when she wiped her forehead, she sweated more than in a nightmare.

Looking out of the blinded window, it was almost dawn, so Su Ning simply got up and took a shower.

As soon as the door was opened, a touch of purple gold was seen.

Chu Ci leaned on the threshold and fell asleep soundly.

The tall figure is nestled into a ball, and no matter how thin the armor is, it will be very stuffy to wear in this summer.At this moment, his head was sweating, and his limbs were not stretched wantonly, so he felt sore and numb just looking at it.

Su Ning stretched out her hand, wanting to wake him up, but retracted before her fingers touched his head.He didn't know what it was like in his heart. Sitting on the threshold and looking at the man sitting on the ground, a strange and inexplicable feeling came to his heart.

The morning wind was a bit cool, and Su Ning couldn't help shivering when the sweaty clothes blew.I don't know if he was trembling and hitting too readily, but Chu Ci just opened his eyes at this moment.

As soon as he saw Su Ning, Chu Ci's expression was a little hazy, and he looked at Su Ning for a long time before he was sure it was not a dream.

"What are you doing sitting here?"

Chu Ci tried to stretch his limbs, and the numbness and pain went straight to the bone marrow. He simply sat on the threshold next to Su Ning, and subconsciously beat his legs with his hands.

"Did you forget that I have something to tell you?"

Su Ning was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered when they met yesterday.

"You sat here all night just for this?"

"It was too late to withdraw the troops yesterday. You had already fallen asleep when you came."

"You can wake me up!" Su Ning didn't understand, when had this person been polite to him?

"I don't want to disturb your sleep! I heard from Su Qi that you are a light sleeper. Once you wake up, you will have no sleep all night!"

A feeling of unhappiness rose in her heart, Su Ning said dissatisfiedly: "Then you can talk to me again today?" How should I put it, a prince shouldn't be squatting at the door of someone's house like a bereaved dog.what is this?In this way, it seems that he, Su Ning, has a lot of heart!

Chu Ci saw Su Ning's anger, and grabbed his hand, "I don't want to win your sympathy!" He is a masculine man, even if he wanted Su Ning again, he would not use such an attack.

"Otherwise?" Then why are you squatting here?

"I just," Chu Ci paused, "I won't be able to sleep anyway! I can sleep here for at least two hours!"

Su Ning didn't understand this at all.He didn't know how insane Chu Ci's nightmare had become.Haven't had a good night's sleep in years.

As a result, this time, the two did not finish their conversation properly.

Chu Ci didn't know why Su Ning lost her temper so much, and Su Ning didn't know why Chu Ci made such a fool of herself.In his heart, this man will always be so strong that he cannot be reached. When did he become so humble.
