Chapter 372: The Red Lantern
Xue Qi left Anjing on the day of the first snowfall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Although it was still calm now, the longer he left, the more dangerous the situation in northern Xinjiang became, so he left in a hurry before his body fully recovered. And from beginning to end, the people in the Hou Mansion of Jian'an, including Liao Yunxi, knew nothing about this matter.
As for Xue Ying, she hadn't seen him again except for the time when the queen had taken her there that day, and she hadn't said anything about it since. After selling the princess's dowry for money, she drank wine and slept in the palace every day, and lived a very unpursued life. During this period, he also roasted and ate the fawn rewarded by the queen.
This sin can be big or small, and it was quickly ginseng. Fortunately, the queen mother pleaded: "Shunrou grew up in the countryside after all, it is not easy to understand basic etiquette, and don't be reluctant to be elegant or not." Besides, Bengong only said that he would reward her with the fawn, and did not make it clear whether it was used to raise or eat, and it was not her fault. β
That being said, but which young lady in Anjing City received the reward and the first reaction of the fawn would be to roast and eat? Xue Ying's actions really made people laugh, and the rumors about how vulgar she was that were already faintly circulating could not be suppressed.
After all, the emperor had a lot of opportunities, and soon left this matter behind. The queen couldn't look past it, and summoned her into the palace from time to time, one to chat and relieve boredom, and the other to take the opportunity to secretly dial / teach, so that her taste rose to a passable level, after all, her marriage contract with the Locke family was made by the eldest princess, and in the future, she entered the Locke family but there were conflicts because of different tastes, and everyone's faces were not happy.
Xue Ying is a well-behaved child, she accepts everything the queen says with a smile, but unfortunately tasting this kind of thing is different from learning court etiquette and the like, not just imitating others, so after the joint efforts of both sides, there is no obvious effect.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and the affairs in the palace are also busy, the queen finally let go of this little entanglement, and gradually stopped summoning, so she went with Xue Ying.
This made her very disappointed: "I thought that I could completely ruin my reputation this time and let the Locke family find an excuse to withdraw from the marriage, alas, it seems that I am still too naΓ―ve." β
I can't figure out if she's pretending to be stupid or if she's really stupid, Xi Xi gave her a roll of the eye.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xue Ying carried a big red lantern and climbed the wall, and finally moved from the ladder to the wall, but accidentally kicked the ladder over, and the whole person was dumbfounded. The top of the wall was frozen with ice, icy and slippery, and she was lying on the wall trembling in the biting cold, and she was hesitating to risk breaking her leg to jump down, when she heard a voice from the other end: "What are you doing here?"
She looked up in surprise: "I guessed you should come back, look, the red lantern I made myself!"
As she struggled to lift the lantern, a gust of wind blew just in time, and the consequence of not holding her hands steady was that she was blown down.
The world swirled, and the lantern took off her hand and left, and when she opened her eyes full of fear, she saw the helpless face of the stove. Hehe smiled, quickly jumped off him, and took the lantern from the cold guard: "Thank you." Long time no see, cold guards. β
The cold guard bowed, and then quickly disappeared in place.
The stove looked at her hesitantly: "You...... When did you hit your head?"
Xue Ying scratched her scalp: "I heard it, you are calling me stupid." β
"No, I just think your behavior is a little unreasonable. "The stove is tactful and mild-mannered.
"Then you're going to be nervous. A few days ago, I often ran to the palace, and I was almost depressed. Xue Ying put the lantern on him, "Where is your room? I'm going to hang it at your door." β
The huge lantern almost blocked the view of the stove, and he pointed in the direction, "Just let the guards do it." β
"No, don't stop me from being a bear kid now. Xue Ying pushed him forward, "I'm fed up with playing a toothless daughter, and every day when I look in the mirror, I think I'm seeing a stranger." β
"What's going on?"
"It's nothing, it's annoying anyway. β
The two chatted and entered the room, and Xue Ying couldn't help wailing: "Why is it colder in your room than outside, I thought I could warm up when I arrived." β
The stove lightly touched the back of her hand, and the chill that came made him frown: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"
"On such a cold day, who has no floor heating in their house. Xue Ying was very wronged, "Who knew you had such a personality." β
The room for the stove is not dark, the sun is open and the windows are open, and the light is good. It's a pity that the windows are still open in the middle of winter, and there is no stove and floor heating in the room, and the ice is very thorough.
As far as the eye can see, there is only one desk except for the bed, the bed is a thin and cold mat, and the four treasures of the simple study room are placed on the desk, but other than that, it is lackluster.
Fortunately, the secret guards quickly sent the stove, and Xue Ying roasted her hands and feet for a while, and finally recovered.
"I didn't agree to King Sui's condition of killing. She said suddenly.
The stove lowered his eyes, and after a while, he slowly asked, "Why?"
"I don't want to be a murderer. β
Xue Ying muttered, not noticing that the furnace's face suddenly distorted because of her words, and her eyes were filled with coldness and ruthlessness. "But some things have to come sooner or later. β
"You mean, your 'plan'? Isn't that day yet coming? Don't worry, if it really comes to the point where there is no choice, I ...... I can still be ruthless. β
When the furnace raised his eyes, he had regained his softness: "Then how did you convince King Sui later?"
Xue Ying smiled weakly: "It's nothing, it's over after a threat." By the way, I took a lantern two days ago and wanted to decorate it for him and render the festive atmosphere, but he threw it out, which is so embarrassing! Although those lanterns are not as beautiful as the one I made for you, I also worked hard to make them myself, and he didn't appreciate them at all. β
The stove couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips: "Just throwing you out?" It seems that King Sui is very good to you." β
"I can make him happy, and you didn't see it, I raised him for nothing during this time, and his big belly is about to come out. Xue Ying made an exaggerated gesture on herself.
The stove smiled, and the joy from the heart at the corners of her mouth and eyes made Xue Ying accidentally confused a little, and shouted in her heart that this guy is really unreasonably good-looking when he laughs. But then, her heart began to pantothenic acid: "He wants to kill you, don't you blame him?"
The smile of the stove was slightly retracted, and there was a flash of injury in his expression, but the eyes that looked at her were still gentle: "Of course it's not weird." He wants to kill me, and he has his reasons. β
"You mean, you think it's justified that he's going to kill you?"
The stove nodded.
"Why?"
"Because I'm a sinner. β
