Chapter 408: Fireproof, theft, and anti-sinking

Zhao Ji was silent, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, and said, "Training troops? I have trained 100,000 imperial guards for so much money. Why do I need to increase the military expenditure of the court for no reason? I will consider this matter again. I have something to tell you, you have caused the matter in Anning. I can't control it anymore, so you can deal with it yourself!"

It is impossible to make Zhao Ji become a promising monarch all at once. Anyway, he doesn't use money to build a palace, and Chen Ao is not afraid of his tricks. When he heard Zhao Ji talk about An Ning, Chen Ao immediately pricked up his ears.

What does it mean if I don’t care about it? What does it mean if you deal with it yourself? Chen Ao thought about it in his heart, and he didn’t know what Zhao Ji was thinking about it for a while.

Chen Ao said carefully: "Your Majesty really doesn't care?"

"Don't worry!" Zhao Ji glared at him with a beard.

This way, it seems like Chen Ao owes him a lot of debts.

Chen Ao suddenly realized that His Majesty's appearance was very disadvantaged. Could it be that he really didn't care? If he didn't care, he would let An Ning and himself make up his mind.

Chen Ao giggled and said, "Who will take care of it?"

Zhao Ji deliberately picked up the memorial on the table and ignored him.

"Your Majesty, you give me a word of justice. Who will take care of me? You can't let me take care of me. If I really want me to take care of me, then when I return to Bianjing, I will go to the palace to propose marriage."

"Is there any rule for proposing marriage in the palace? How can the nobles of heaven follow the examples of the people in the market?" Zhao Ji said subconsciously.

Chen Ao understood that marrying a princess is different from ordinary people, so there is no need to give six gifts. Seeing Zhao Ji's appearance of being at a disadvantage, hope ignited in his heart, and he was excited. He clasped his fingers and said, "Since you don't propose marriage, is the dowry coming out of the palace? This is one. As the prince consort, can I still retain my official position and title? This is the second..."

Zhao Ji couldn't bear to read the memorial in his hand. He obviously suffered a loss, but Chen Ao even made serious decisions!

Zhao Ji said with a stern face: "You think very well. You need the consent of the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother nodded on the other side, which is what you can decide. I don't care about An Ning anymore, but I can't even care about the Queen Mother's side. You can think about it yourself." His face twitched for a few moments, as if he was making a painful decision. After pondering for a while, he said: "An Ning is in a bad mood these days, go and see her. I heard that the scenery of Huqiu is very beautiful. Put down what you see first and accompany An Ning for a while. If it makes her unhappy, I will never spare you."

"Will your Majesty go?" Chen Ao asked.

Zhao Ji smiled suddenly: "I want to raise it for a few days, go by yourself, don't mess around."

Chen Ao was secretly happy: "It would be great if you don't go." He looked indescribable on his face: "If Your Majesty doesn't go, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it will be dirt in the eyes of Weichen."

Zhao Ji spat, feeling goosebumps all over the place, and waved his hand: "Let's go, I'm not feeling well these days. When I see you for a moment, my body will never get better."

When she really took Princess An Ning out for a trip, Chen Ao realized that it was not what she imagined. For men, the most tormented thing was to be visible and unable to eat. But for Chen Ao, she clearly thought she could eat, but she couldn't even see it.

At noon, the sky was clear and the spring breeze was blowing. Shen Gong rode his horse listlessly. As for the back, there were guards carrying a chasing like a forest, and they were covered with gauze. Although the wind was occasionally blowing by and a corner was blowing, there were still heavy palace veils inside. Anyway, they were tight and airtight.

Chen Ao looked back speechlessly and sighed. It turned out that this was taking the princess out for a trip!

Oh my God! This is not a trip?

Chen Ao wished he could cry in tears, and he found a corner to cry, but he still pretended to be majestic and rode a tall horse, and was admired by the people along the way.

Occasionally, the palace maid who was chasing the side would whisper a few words to the beauty silhouette who was invisible or touched in the gauze tent. The palace maid then quickly followed and passed the message: "Master Shen, Princess asked if you are tired. If you are tired, let's take a break."

Chen Ao waved his hand heroically, and looked at the palace maid with deep and powerful eyes, making the palace maid unable to stand his gaze and lowered his head. Chen Ao said with a bright look: "Are you tired at this little road? If the princess is tired, let's take a break! I'm not tired. It's still ten miles away from Huqiu. It's not too early, so don't waste your time."

The palace maid went back and whispered to An Ning. Chen Ao couldn't turn around and continued to move forward. After walking a few steps, the palace maid rushed over again and said, "The Emperor Ji said she brought a few dried fruits and asked Lord Shen if she could eat them?"

Chen Ao waved his hand: "Tell the Emperor, I appreciate it, but I can't eat the dried fruits."

The palace maid went back in a bad mood.

After asking questions, I went on and off, and it took me an hour to finally arrive at Tiger Hill. In ancient times, Tiger Hill was a small island in the bay that appeared and disappeared with the sea tide. After the changes of the sea, it finally emerged from the sea and became a hill isolated on the plain, and people called it Haiyong Mountain.

Although Tiger Hill is far away from the sea, when you step into the Toutang Gate, you will see the four big words "Sea surging and flowing" embedded on the wall across the river. After entering the mountain gate, a stone bridge crosses the mountains and rivers, and the bridge is called "Sea surging Bridge"; some strange rocks next to the uphill road, and the smooth stone bodies are caused by the erosion of the sea. Hanhan Spring is also called "Sea surging Spring" because of its hidden sea.

Chen Ao got off his horse and waited for An Ning to chase him.

The chasing took off, and first a lotus foot drooped. Chen Ao raised his head and looked at it without turning his eyes. He saw a white jade-like slender hand lifting the curtain and showing a beautiful figure. When he landed, Chen Ao saw clearly An Ning was wearing a white dress like a gauze, as if she was in the smoke and mist. Except for her black hair, she was snow-white all over and had a beautiful face. She deliberately did not go away Chen Ao with a little shy look at the hills in the distance. Her white teeth couldn't help but reveal a thread, and she smiled and showed a pair of small dimples, and whispered: "It's so beautiful here."

Chen Ao stepped into the crack and walked over and said, "Beauty is relative. Compared with Lin Mang, this Tiger Hill is naturally the most beautiful. But when compared with the Emperor, the Tiger Hill is overshadowed. Hey, Emperor Ji, don't misunderstand me. I am definitely not trying to boast about you on purpose, but I can't help but blurt out for a moment, forgive me for my sins and forgive me. I hate flattery the most, and Emperor Ji should know."

An Ning still didn't go to see him, but his eyebrows and eyes were already arching, and he smiled like a budding flower blooming quietly. He pursed his thin lips and said, "You will say good things about others. My father said nothing wrong, it is called fire, theft, and sunken arrogance."

This sentence sounds a bit familiar. Chen Ao thought about it for a moment and then got an impression. This was what he said to Zhao Ji. Unexpectedly, the emperor changed the lyrics and used them to instigate his daughter. He felt ashamed and felt very sad about shooting himself in the foot.

An Ning finally glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and said, "What? Is Lord Shen angry?"

Chen Ao shook his head and returned to give a peaceful smile.

The two of them went up the mountain together and climbed up step by step. The palace maids and the imperial guards followed in a mess. Chen Ao turned over and refused to let them follow. These people refused, but they had to distance themselves and dared not get too close.

Away from the imperial guards and servants, Chen Ao breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them walked up the hill along the stone stairs and walked dozens of steps. An Ning was a little tired. He wiped the fine sweat from his forehead with his handkerchief, and breathed in fragrance, saying, "Mr. Chen, I'm tired, I'm useless, I can't keep up with you."

Chen Ao had a secret joy of succeeding his trick and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you away, or I can carry you."

An Ning's face turned red: "So many people see me, and my father knows that I will definitely not spare you."

Chen Ao's neck shrank, and he smacked his tongue, but he was very happy. She didn't say that men and women were not allowed to be close, nor did she say that Chen Ao was rude. This was to secretly promise the relationship between the two. The implication was that I was willing, but my father refused.

Chen Ao deliberately approached and sat with An Ning on a smooth wall. The two were close to each other and could almost hear each other's heartbeat. A special fragrance penetrated into Chen Ao's nose. Chen Ao's thoughts were delicate. He vaguely remembered that An Ning usually did not apply makeup, but only a heart-pounding body fragrance. Today, she specially applied fragrant powder. Is she tolerating those who please herself or to please him?

He had a lot of thoughts, and felt that time flew over. An Ning deliberately looked at the sky with thousands of rays of light. Chen Ao couldn't speak, especially in front of the dense imperial guards and waiters who were as dense as a forest a hundred steps away, they heard all the movements. He glared at the countless glittering light bulbs with sadness and resentment in his heart, and said in his heart: "What are you looking at? Is it interesting to see if you love me?"

"Mr. Shen..." An Ning stroked a wisp of hair that was blown away by the wind on her forehead. Her small nose faced the glow and said with a pursed lips: "It's so good here. If I keep it here for the rest of my life, I'm willing."

“…”

"Why didn't Lord Shen speak?"

Chen Ao sighed: "I am observing silently for Huqiu."

"What's the reason? Yes, if I stay here, my father will definitely block the place and not be allowed to approach it. Such a beautiful scenery can only make people look out of the distance, which is really a pity."

Chen Ao shook his head: "I mean, if Huqiu knew that Emperor Ji was staying here, then people in the world would only remember Emperor Ji forever and could not remember Huqiu anymore, then wouldn't it be ashamed to die of shame?"

An Ning couldn't help but lower her head, looked at the flower shoes embroidered with gold wire under her feet, and said, "Tiger Hill is a scenery, I am a human, how can I compare this way."

"Everything in the world has beauty and ugliness, why can't we compare?" Chen Ao lowered his voice like a thief: "In my eyes, even if the princess is in the gravel weeds, she can bring everything back to life. Cough cough... Don't tell this to outsiders. If you say it, I will have no shame to see people."

An Ning's bright eyes swirled over and looked at Chen Ao, and smiled proudly: "Father said you are shameless."

Chen Aoda was discouraged. This Zhao Ji, God knew how many bad things he had said in front of his daughter, was so outrageous, so he had to say embarrassedly: "That's because Your Majesty doesn't understand me. It's because he is easy to get a friend, but it's hard to find a friend. An Ning is my friend. He won't look at me with those worldly eyes, right?"
