Chapter 24: Strange
In the first few days of arriving in Jiangzhou, Gao Xun took Bai Sang to take a careful walk around the city of Jiangzhou, and was indeed very satisfied with this prosperous but not noisy, calm and boring small southern town.
As a vassal king, Gao Xun was also allowed to have his own soldiers in the area. So after arriving in Jiangzhou and recruiting a number of eye-catching warriors, Gao Xun saw that Ye Xiuying had nothing to do all day long, so he handed over the personal soldiers in the palace to her with full control. And the little prince himself, with the princess, either traveled to the mountains or played in the water all day long.
These days, it seems to be really leisurely and happy.
Bai Sang thought that life in Jiangzhou would always be so plain and quiet and with a hint of sweetness, but what he didn't expect was that Gao Xun had gradually become strange in recent days.
It was already evening on this day, and the Jin Wangfu had already been lit up, and it was bright.
Bai Sang stood at the table, watching the people in the house serve the same food intently, and his eyes drifted to the door from time to time.
It's so late, why haven't you come back yet?
Bai Sang's heart began to worry for no reason. Gao Xun began to go out early a few days ago, and he was nowhere to be seen all day long. Now that it's getting dark, I don't see her coming back, what are you going to do?
"Madam, the dishes are all ready, you should eat." The maidservant on the side, Su Xin, reminded.
"Wait a little longer, the prince hasn't come back yet." Retracting his gaze, Bai Sang said lightly.
After standing in silence for a while, Bai Sang finally couldn't help but walk towards the gate.
"The prince doesn't know why he went so late and didn't come back, and he didn't want to think that his wife was still waiting for her to eat in the mansion." Su Xin looked at Bai Sang's back and complained in a low voice.
"I see that you have gained a lot of courage in the past few days, and you dare to arrange the prince behind your back, and you are not afraid of being heard by Madame." Xue Lian on the other side listened to it and said softly, "You see when the prince didn't think about Madame, maybe he was really stumped by something urgent today." ”
Frangipani pouted when she heard this. During this time, she has been serving her by her wife's side, and her wife does not talk much, but she is very good to her subordinates, and she does not have the slightest princess's shelf. She is a straightforward and fast-talking character, and Gao Xun has always been kind and pleasant to talk to in the house, which will make her see the loss of her wife and protect the lord, so she can't help but be dissatisfied for Bai Sang.
But Xue Lian's words are indeed correct. In the first few days, the prince was inseparable from his wife all day long, and he took care of his wife everywhere. That look is simply in the mouth for fear of melting, holding it in the hand for fear of falling, it is really first-class good. The people in the house looked at it in their eyes, and they couldn't help but sigh that the relationship between the two masters was good, and when they met the prince, Mrs. was really a blessing from several generations of cultivation.
I don't know how to change so quickly, I go out early and return late all day, it seems that the prince has passed the freshness of this newlywed. The little girl shook her head, man, it's really all flowery.
Bai Sang gently pushed open the gate of the palace, there were sparsely populated outside, and the vendors on both sides of the road had already closed their stalls and gone home. faded away from the liveliness of the day, and seemed a little lonely.
I looked at the long street in a daze, and it was still dark with no end in sight. Bai Sang sighed lightly and returned to the hall.
"Madam, it seems that the prince said that he went to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to get together with a few adults. Probably, I won't come back for dinner. ”
Since Xue Lian was renamed by the prince, she was often sent to follow Gao Xun. Seeing that the prince hadn't come back yet, he helped explain.
"Really" Bai Sang nodded, pulling out a forced smile.
Looking down at the large table of delicacies in front of him, he didn't have the slightest appetite.
It was late at night.
Bai Sang was lying on the bed tossing and turning, and after a long time, he finally heard a sound at the door.
"Ahh
Bai Sang sat up and called out to the people who came in.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Gao Xun looked at her with a smile after entering the door, and asked while taking off his robe.
I can't sleep without you.
Obviously this is the case, but Bai Sang can't say such a thing anyway.
Gao Xun saw that she was silent, and the smile on his face did not decrease. quickly took off his coat, blew out the candle and got into the quilt together, and hugged the person in front of him. He closed his eyes and smelled the familiar fragrance in her hair, and sighed comfortably.
Bai Sang moved slightly, found a comfortable position to lean on her, felt her exhaled breath, and asked softly, "Have you been drinking again?" ”
"Uh-huh." Gao Xun still closed his eyes and nodded.
"Then let's have a cup of tea and go to sleep"
Bai Sang said that he wanted to get up and pour tea for her, but was gently taken back into his arms by Gao Xun.
"No need. It's late, let's go to sleep. ”
Gao Xun seemed to be very tired, hugged her tightly, and buried his head in a deep sleep.
Bai Sang leaned on her warm arms, closed his eyes, and felt that his heart, which had been anxious all night, seemed to be finally able to settle down. Gao Xun beside him seemed to fall asleep quickly, listening to her even breathing, Bai Sang still buried all the questions of these days in his heart.
For a long time, relying on Gao Xun's favor for himself, he seems to have no fear. But she never thought that if Gao Xun's feelings changed one day, what would she do?
Thinking of this, Bai Sang seemed to be blocked by something in his heart, and he was even a little scared, not knowing what to do
Early the next morning, Bai Sang, who was asleep, was woken up by a slight noise.
The quilt on the side was empty. Bai Sang lost his sleepiness, half sat up, and saw Gao Xun standing in front of the bed tiptoeing to get dressed.
"Wake up." Gao Xun raised his head, saw Bai Sang sitting up, and grinned at her.
Why do you wake up so early today? Is it going out again? Bai Sang looked at Gao Xun, but he couldn't ask the words in his heart.
"Oh, there's something going out today." Gao Xun didn't seem to have anything unusual, and still looked at her with a smile on his face and said.
Bai Sang didn't ask again, got out of bed quietly, and helped Gao Xun put on his robe and tie up his hair crown. In the end, he stroked her hand and bowed his head. After a pause, he said softly:
"Come back early."
"Okay." Gao Xun raised a smile with his eyebrows, leaned over to kiss her cheek, and said softly, "Then I'll go." ”
Bai Sang nodded, looking at her back as she left in a hurry, and the expression in her eyes slowly dimmed unconsciously
Gao Xun was not in the house, and Bai Sang, who didn't like to make noise, was even quieter, and sat alone in the study all afternoon reading books.
The sun was shining outside, and Bai Sang was holding a book, but he only felt that his thoughts were more chaotic.
"Madam, the prince is back!" Frangipani pushed open the door and said happily.
Bai Sang put down the book in his hand when he heard this, his eyes finally lit up, and he hurriedly went out with Frangipani.
Obviously, I just met her in the morning, but at this moment, I felt like I was looking forward to her coming back after a few days.
Bai Sang came to the main hall, and at a glance he saw Gao Xun standing there, still smiling to himself as brightly as ever.
I'm really back so early today.
Bai Sang couldn't contain the light smile on his lips, walked in, and said softly as if bringing out water: "Ah Xun, you're back." ”
The voice fell. turned his head, but saw that behind Gao Xun, there was a delicate little girl.
