CHAPTER XVIII

Xiyan, are you happy? Chaoyan asks every time he sees her. She looked too eager for the answer, and Xiyan couldn't find a stronger way to tell her sister that she was happy except to nod hard and hard.

What happiness is, everyone feels differently. For Xiyan, Lei Xiao is not angry, and when he is happy, he will give her some jewelry and clothes, which is happiness. The world is now completely unfamiliar, once only in the mouths of storytellers in street teahouses, or in the long guard of honor of the annual royal sacrifice. The people around him are very clever, clever and almost skilled, and the proficiency makes people afraid, like a demented doll, except for mechanical obedience is obedience. Overnight, no one will treat you as a simple child anymore, and there will always be people watching your every move where you are not looking.

And what can you do with this, tell your sister? It's a choice you make, isn't it?

The only achievement of those suffocating loneliness is that she finally has the patience to practice calligraphy seriously, and even read some books that she was unwilling to read before.

After getting married, Lei Yao rarely went to the mountains to practice anymore, but rebuilt a practice room in the back garden, which was equipped with all kinds of weapons. When the practice room was just built, Lei Yao once asked Chao Yan to accompany him, watching himself practice, strange to say, this is not the first time, but the worry and total worship in Chao Yan's eyes made him feel so strange, her personality was too consistent with what she told in her eyes, but it made him confused. It was only after nearly a year of marriage that he began to examine his wife, a woman he thought he knew well enough and loved enough. Chaoyan is perfect, beautiful and dignified, gentle and affectionate, talented, she is like a shy flower, delicate blooming, her love is fine and dense everywhere gentle shroud, wholeheartedly pay. He never knew that Chaoyan had such a side, he thought that his Chaoyan was just a little girl who pretended to be gentle, a little delicate, and a little cunning. If a man's sense of touch is remembered, then he may suspect that there is a little difference between words that cannot be described and described.

"Do you like it?" Lei Xiao was in a good mood, took a gold wire stranded ruby chain and shook it in front of Xiyan.

"Like!" her blank eyes lit up immediately. "Please drink tea. She diligently took the cup in the hand of the palace maid and personally served it to Lei Xiao.

"When you see gold, your eyes are lit up. Lei Xiao threw the chain on the table. "Isn't the monthly silver given to you enough?"

"Didn't you say that a gentleman loves money? Even a gentleman loves him, how can I not love it. Xiyan said in a good mood.

"Pure sophistry. Lei Xiao took a sip of tea, "Have time to read more books, don't insult your father's reputation." ”

"Yes. Xiyan replied obediently.

"That's good, I don't argue or talk back at any time. Lei Xiao was a little helpless, "I just don't know how much I listened." ”

It's here again. He must have been trained a lot by his master when he was studying, and now he has to find an opportunity to read endlessly.

"Drink some tea and moisten your throat. Xiyan said softly.

"You ......" Lei Xiao, who was babbling, was suddenly interrupted, "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

"Of course not. Xiyan squeezed out a look like she was about to cry, "I, I'm afraid you'll be tired." ”

Lei Xiao looked at it and smiled, she really has a good skin, a pair of eyes flashing with indescribable charm, and the appearance of crying is a different kind of love, he can't wait to reach out and pinch her face, he thought so and did so, reached out and pinched it gently, Xiyan was startled, and stepped back, he quickly pulled her into his arms, and let her sit on his lap.

"Little things. He pressed her hard against him, and kissed her passionately in full view of the maid. Seeing that Lei Xiao suddenly picked up Xiyan horizontally and walked to the inner room, the little eunuch who was standing in front of the door hurriedly gestured to let the people in the house go out, cover the door, and wait outside the door.

Lei Xiao left at night. Xiyan's hair was scattered, she put on a long gown at random, got out of bed barefoot, and walked into the hall, the gold wire stranded chain on the table lay quietly, the ruby on it was very bright, she sat on the couch, picked up the chain, and dangled it to the candlelight.

"Please eat. Yuexiang stepped forward, the food was a little cold, and she wanted to make the kitchen hot again, but the kitchen said that the king was eating at the princess's place at night, and they were busy, so they couldn't spare their hands.

"Is there anything I like to eat?" asked Xi Yan with a smile, turning her head back and smiling.

"There is one. Tsukika smiled too. The side concubine is very good to serve, she doesn't seem to ask for anything, just go by. It's good temper, but it's not very close to people.

"I'll come later. Xiyan carefully wrapped the chain around her ankle, then raised her ankle, looked at it, and went to eat.

"The food is a little cold," Tsukika explained in a somewhat embarrassed whisper, "the kitchen says it can't spare your hands to help you heat it up right now." ”

"It doesn't matter. Xiyan didn't care, and still ate with relish, "It's just a meal." ”

Her appearance made Yuexiang on the side look at it, and somehow, her eyes were slightly sour.
