Chapter 5 Terminals (31)
One
At this time, there were no outsiders in the house, Miao Nu sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Long Ying's pale face and said with a sigh of relief: "This girl is poisonous, but she is kind-hearted, she is right, we have been bothering Xiaoxue for too long, and it is time to leave." β
"But, but Sister Hua is not well. Min Yu lay on the edge of the bed and muttered quietly, "That fierce woman is so hateful, she always speaks ill of us." β
"Don't talk nonsense! People are the Lord, we are guests, and we are favored by others, so how can we talk about our benefactors behind our backs? Remember, don't talk nonsense. Miao Nu earnestly admonished.
"Min Yu is right, that woman speaks ugly to death, and ....... And she dared to be disrespectful to Sister Hua! she actually kissed, just kissed like this!" Bai Fan went crazy when he thought of the picture just now, and he was envious and jealous and wanted to tear Liu Mo apart.
Miao Nu glared at Bai Fan warningly: "She is saving Sister Hua, you are not allowed to mess around." β
"It's not our time to be idle right now, Miss Liu is right, the top priority is to leave Bailuan. Xu Shu said.
"When are you leaving?" said Xiao Zhu, who was holding his sword by the window.
"Three days later. Xu Shu said.
Min Yu looked up at Uncle Xu, "Are you leaving so soon?" β
Bai Fan touched his head, "I am sentimental at a young age, and it's not that I can't see each other, we will meet Xiaoxue again when we have a chance in the future." β
"It's hard to estimate. "The scenery of Little Zhu Sha destroys the expectations of children.
"Well, the Han family is too special, Xiaoxue can't meet us casually like before. Xu Shu also said.
"If you don't speak, no one thinks you're dumb. Bai Fan blamed them, and then bowed his head to comfort the lost Minyu, saying that you are still young and have a long future, and some are the opportunity to meet a beautiful sister and other nonsense.
Le Yi couldn't stand it anymore, and patted his brother's shoulder, a rare serious speech. "Don't teach bad children, this kind of adult thing is not something he should know, teach him when he grows up and has hair. β
Bai Fan wondered, "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it just a matter for men and women? Brother, you can also see that Min Yu is in love with Xiaoxue's girl, otherwise why do you say that the future is long, what I said is right?" Le Yi said with a wink.
"You're the one who doesn't teach bad boys!"

In the garden, in the pavilion -
"So beautiful, Sister Xiaoqi, you are so good to me!"
Xiaoxue held a bright red dress and turned around happily.
"If you like it, it's fine. Huaqi looked at her dotingly, with a deep tenderness in her eyes.
Xiaoxue sat on the stone bench and carefully put away the clothes and put them in the brocade box, which showed that she really liked this gift.
Huaqi looked left and right and asked, "What about Wenwen? β
"Oh, they. Xiaoxue said casually, "They are busy, my sister and Xiao Shi are studying the recipe, and these two foodies can't walk when they see delicious food." β
"That's right. "Huaqi is a little lost," Wenwen still doesn't want to see me. β
"Don't worry, she let you come back, doesn't it mean that she has forgiven you, and after a while, we can be the same as before again. β
"Well, I'll wait. β
"Don't talk about that yet, you won't leave tonight. β
"How am I going to leave on your birthday? Hanasu shook his head.
Xiaoxue smiled even more, "That's good, I'm still worried that the one in your family won't let you come." β
Huaqi knew who she was referring to, and said, "Junbai can't come because of something, but he asked me to bring you a gift." β
"Thank him for me. β
"Xiaoxue, can I ask something?" Hanaqi asked suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xuehu looked at her suspiciously.
"After your birthday, is Wenwen planning to take you on a trip?" she remembered that Wenwen had planned a few years ago.
"She originally planned to do so, and she planned to go all the way west from Bailuan to Dali to play, but ......." Xiaoxue thought of something and laughed deliciously, "I have my own plans." β
"......." Hanaqi looked puzzled.
Xiaoxue attached to her ear and whispered, "I plan to confess to Duan Qianyan tonight." β
"You're .......!!" Hanaqi's eyes widened in disbelief, his mind confused in surprise.
"Don't tell anyone, neither can my sister, I want to wait until my birthday is over to announce it. She whispered, lest someone hear their conversation.
Huaqi was so frightened that his heart couldn't stand it, and his chest vibrated irregularly. "You really like him?" didn't want to believe it, Hanaqi asked her eagerly.
"Hmm. She nodded, her shy face like a peach blossom in March, scorching with its bloom.
Such shyness and timidity, such a sweet smile, Hua Qi has seen it countless times in herself, that is the attitude she shows every time she faces Jun Bai, and now it appears on Xiaoxue. She is now sure that Xiaoxue is really emotional, and the other party is still Duan Qianyan.
"Do you really like him?" asked again and again, hoping that Xiaoxue would shake her head and say no.
However, Xiaoxue nodded firmly: "I'm pretty sure, I really like it." β
"Xiaoxue ......" Hanasu didn't know what to say.
Xiaoxue's face turned crimson, "Sister Xiaoqi, I know what you want to say, he is unreliable and has a bad record, but I feel something different in him, he is not what you see, he is actually very good, and ....... He's pathetic. β
After ten years of love and ten years of waiting, he was the only one who was sad and cried in the end. She couldn't bear to see him lonely all his life.
"Xiaoxue, in fact, I ......." Huaqi wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that Xiaoxue's bright blue eyes were full of warmth and tenderness, his heart was mixed, and he didn't know what to do.
"I think about it, his past is in the past, don't you often tell me that people have to look forward, I don't mind his past, as long as he is well. β
Xiaoxue is already an innocent girl who has fallen in, and she is so happy that she can't bear to break her beauty.
Hua Qi said: Actually, I want to tell you that I had an entanglement with Duan Qianyan, and the person he was waiting for was me.
But no matter what, she can't say anything, Huaqi doesn't want to destroy Xiaoxue's love, she knows that it's not good to hide it like this, and when she thinks that one day Xiaoxue knows that person is her, she really can't imagine how she faces this sister...... Maybe that's okay, with Xiaoxue's company, Duan Qianyan shouldn't be alone, let that past be buried in the ground, as long as they are good, it's better than anything.
She repeatedly told herself in her heart - this is a good thing, Xiaoxue and Duan Qianyan will be happy together.
Thinking about it, that feeling of guilt slowly disappeared.
And Xiaoxue is immersed in the fantasy of love, and the more she thinks about it, the happier she becomes, as if she is now the happiest woman in the world.
If it weren't for Hanaqi to wake her up, I'm afraid she would have gone crazy.
"Does Duan Qianyan like you?" Hua Qi was very concerned about this matter.
"He, he said......" Before he finished speaking, Uncle Wu suddenly came over to report: "Concubine Rongrong is here." β
The two of them were stunned, and said in unison: "Why is she here?"
Uncle Wu said: "She came to visit and said that she wanted to give Miss Xue a birthday gift. I asked the eldest lady what she meant, and she asked me to bring people here. β
Huaqi was confused, "Wenwen let Xiaojin in?"
Wenwen, who has never allowed royals to step into the Huyue Court, why did he suddenly make an exception?
Xiaoxue didn't think about anything, and happily asked Uncle Wu to bring someone over. For her, there is nothing special about people giving a gift at the door, and there is no need to engage in conspiracy theories to guess other people's purposes, so as to save her good mood.
The flower brocade is dressed up in a bright and dignified manner, and it is more beautiful than the usual fairy. As soon as he came, he took Xiaoxue's hand, enthusiastically as if it was his daughter's birthday, and asked, "What were you talking about just now?"
"We're talking a thousand words. Xiaoxue said bluntly.
"Him. Hua Qi was a little surprised, "I heard people talk about this Duan Xiao Wangye, who is said to be a top beautiful man, who is proficient in everything and martial arts. I wanted to know if the rumors were true, but now that he lives in Huyue Court and sees him every day, what do you think of him?"
"Not bad. "Light snow is not hidden.
Hua Jin turned her magnificent red pupils, "Do you like him?"
This question silenced the other two people present.
Huaqi stared at his sister for a moment, his expression was three points solemn and seven points cold.
After a while, Xiaoxue sneered, "I don't like what to do with you." "I know that this woman has bad intentions, so she doesn't want to reveal her heart.
"It's nothing, it's just that I heard something recently, it is related to Duan Xiaowangye, I want to ask, does Sister Xiaoxue know?"
"If you have something to say, who is your sister. "This woman is as chaotic as ever, and her good mood is gone.
"Speaking of which, it has something to do with my sister. Being choked, Hua Qi was not annoyed but laughed, his eyes turned to Hua Qi, and said slowly: "Duan Xiao Wang Ye once entangled with a woman for ten years, and now the two are still disconnected, I don't know why, Emperor Dali chose the princess for him several times, but he refused, alone, and the king of Yunnan who loved his son like his life. Some people say that he has fallen in love with a married woman, and you say, is he guarding that woman like jade?"
Xiaoxue looked at Huajin expressionlessly, for a second, two seconds, three seconds...... Half an hour passed, still looking indifferently.
"What's wrong with you looking at me like this? Am I not right?" Hua Jin felt inexplicably flustered.
After another half a moment, the corners of Xiaoxue's mouth raised, and she said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little curious, where did the concubine Niangniang hear about these old things." β
"You're not curious, no, you already knew!"
I thought it would make her shocked, but it turned out that people already knew. Hua Jin was very unwilling.
Xiaoxue sneered: "I thought you had some big surprise for me, but now it seems that it's just that." β
Hua Jin is a smart person, she can't hear the ridicule in and out of her words, and she still wants to break the news about it after a while, but now as long as she can vent, she doesn't need to leave any room.
"Do you know who Duan Qianyan's love is?"
"What?"
"You don't know who that woman is. β
"What the hell are you talking about? What tricks do you want to play?" Xiao Xue glared at people in disgust, and said in her heart that this woman is really dead, and she has to be a demon who has nothing to do to stop? There must be a limit to scolding. She wanted to see what kind of wind and waves this guy could make.
Hua Jin smiled charmingly and affectionately, and her beautiful eyes glanced at Hua Qi, as if she was looking at a loser who was about to face a catastrophe.
"Duan Qianyan loves my good sister, Huaqi, and Junbai's crown princess. Under her sister's deep and nervous gaze, she revealed a truth that had been hidden for many years in a condescending tone.
Hua Qi's brain was buzzing instantly, and her head was splitting, Huo Di stood up and shouted, "Hua Jin, shut up!" She was anxious, on the one hand, she was angry at Huajin's malice to instigate her friendship with Xiaoxue, and on the other hand, she was frightened and didn't dare to look at Xiaoxue's face.
"I'll tell you the truth, what did my sister yell. Hua Jin looked at her with interest, as if she was enjoying a good show, and watched it with relish.
"You!!" Huaqi was so angry that her body trembled.
What was unexpected was Xiaoxue's reaction, without Huaqi's excitement or Huajin's pride, she just sat there quietly and listened to the sisters' words, and then raised her head and smiled at Huajin, and said softly: "Is this what you want to say? Thank you for telling me, but I already knew." β
"Do you know?" This time it was Hua Jin's turn to be shocked, she didn't understand how the situation changed so quickly, and then a pair of Xiaoxue's blue bright and clear eyes, she chuckled in her heart, and her body seemed to have fallen into the abyss of the deep sea, cold and infiltrating.
Also feeling cold is Hanasu, who heard Xiaoxue's words, and immediately became a frightened bird.
Xiaoxue kept smiling, her lips closed together, "Thank you for what you told me recently, I already know, so please leave." It's my birthday today, and I don't want to get angry with irrelevant people, so don't show up in front of me and make people annoying. β
There is no off-string sound, the meaning is very obvious, she is picking people.
"In this case, I wish you a long life and blessings like the East China Sea. β
Hua Jin's breath was stuck in his throat and couldn't swallow it, and he couldn't spit it out, so he could only endure it fiercely and leave angrily.
Hurt others and hurt yourself, Hua Jin has suffered so much here, she must be resentful in her heart, this resentment has accumulated for a long time, and something will happen.
The troublesome people are gone, but Hanaqi can't relax at all.
Xiaoxue knew who the woman was, how did she know it, and when did she know it? These questions made Hanaqi flustered.
At this moment, the difficulty faced by Hanaqi is whether she can keep her friendship with Xiaoxue.
"Xiaoxue ......" She was worried, and for the first time she felt that it was so difficult to call this name.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoxue took off the mask of the knife hidden in her smile and treated her defenselessly, "What's wrong with you? β
Hanaqi was surprised, "You were acting just now?"
"yes, otherwise how can I bluff her. Xiaoxue smiled slyly, "Sister Xiaoqi, I have to say, your sister is so bad, she actually made up such a ridiculous story to sow discord, if I don't teach a lesson, I really think the old lady is easy to bully." Don't look at who I am, this scheming method is more than enough to deal with the women in the harem, and it is more than enough to deal with the carving insect skills. β
Hearing this, Hua Qi's hanging heart finally fell, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but ......, "Will you believe her words?" I mean, what if it's true?"
Xiaoxue looked at her inexplicably, but seeing the other party's serious and nervous appearance, she raised her head and thought about it, and smiled disapprehantly: "No, I believe Sister Xiaoqi, even if it's true, you will take the initiative to tell me, you don't need others to talk too much." β
Huaqi was completely stunned, and her heart suddenly had mixed feelings.
Trusting himself so much and believing in himself wholeheartedly, for the first time in his life, Hua Qi felt a heavy sense of guilt, only to feel as if his heart had been slashed by a knife, and the pain was dripping blood. Her vacillation and indecisiveness were tantamount to putting the shackles of sin on herself, and she was tormented day and night by day and nightβshe had betrayed her sister, broken her promises, and was already a sinner.
What can I do to save myself and save this hard-won friendship?
Huaqi didn't want to do anything to be sorry for Xiaoxue, lest she obey that kind and sincere heart. The decision she made today may be an irreparable mistake in the future, she can't afford this heavy consequence, and she is not qualified to be trusted by Xiaoxue. Perhaps, she was wrong from the beginning, but, in the face of Xiaoxue, she really couldn't tell the truth.
