57.Chapter 57
The night was quiet, and the palace buildings were slowly shrouded in the mist that permeated the mountains and forests, like a thin veil. The autumn breeze rustles the leaves. The night breeze was cool, so that the people sleeping indoors unconsciously wrapped themselves in the quilt.
Qingyun and Mei Ying, who were keeping vigil, leaned on the smoke cage and half-squinted, and their bodies were covered with thick quilts. When he heard the sound of the wind outside mixed with the sound of some torrential rain, Qingyun woke up instantly. She hurriedly pushed Mei Ying, then got up in her clothes and turned on the lights and candles in the room.
"It's raining outside, and I say how the more I sleep, the colder it gets." Mei Ying got up neatly, shivered involuntarily, rubbed her hands, and muttered in a low voice.
Qingyun only finished reading the warm water, turned his head and said, "Let's go and see Shi Niang together, on such a cold day, we have to add a layer of quilts." "Usually this kind of thing only needs to be done by one person, but who let Shi Niang's house live in several uncles now. In order to strengthen his courage, he can only pull another companion.
Mei Ying heard Qingyun say this, and her heart was furious, it had been a few days before they got used to it. Speaking of which, when I was in Jiangnan before, in addition to the cats, fish, and birds raised by my own lady, I didn't find that Shi Niang liked such beasts of prey and birds of prey?
Mei Ying drew an arc in her heart, but she was not slow at all, she directly picked up the candlestick and carefully pushed open the door of the inner room. Mei Ying tiptoed to the table and turned on the candle. The candlelight fell softly in the room, reflecting the golden light on the sword offered on the bookcase.
It's been three days since the first day of the autumn hunt, Mei Ying and Qingyun, these maids, every time they see the Yao Sun Treasure Knife, it's still as unreal as a dream, their little lady really overwhelms the crowd and wins back the saint's treasure knife?
Qingyun stiffened and carefully opened the curtain, and at a glance saw the female leopard who was sleeping in her family's ten mothers, lazily opened her eyes and glanced at her, and then closed them again.
Mei Ying was bolder than Qingyun, looking at the female leopard while slowly reaching out to touch Su Yan's little face. The tentacles were warm, and then took a closer look by the candlelight, Su Yan's quilt was not covered very tightly, and his little face was red from sleep. Qingyun's hand reached into the quilt, intending to touch Su Yan's little feet again, but he didn't want to touch the two warm hairballs. When the hairball was touched, he moved unhappily and tightened himself.
Qingyun slowly uncovered the quilt, and sure enough, he saw two tiger cubs sleeping soundly holding Su Yan's little feet. She turned her head to look at Mei Ying, and there were smiles in both of their eyes. Originally, I was worried that Shi Niang would not be used to the cold of the north when she returned to Shangdu for the first time. But they didn't want to be in autumn, so they got a few natural stoves, and they didn't have to worry about Shi Niang being cold at all.
The wind and rain are rushing at night, but the rain stops in the morning, and the sun hangs high. Only the damp ground and the occasional drop of dew from the tips of the grass on the leaves can remind one of the heavy rains at night.
Su Yan slept soundly at night, but in the morning he woke up in a field of eagles flying and tigers. Xiaobai has long been accustomed to it, bringing a bouquet of flowers to its mistress every morning, and then rubbing her to get up. But since its mistress had collected three four-clawed stupid beasts a few days earlier, it had never caught it in the task of getting her up from bed. Ga...... It's not happy!
Especially the two stupid tigers, they hate it very much, and they will bite the flowers they gave to the hostess, and they are so angry that they will never forgive. So, the eagle scratched and rolled into a ball on Su Yan's bed.
The female leopard will not do this kind of unstylish thing, it got off Su Yan's bed, stretched its body, stretched its waist, and leisurely flicked its tail to go out for convenience, and then went to the rabbit cage to choose a pleasing breakfast for breakfast. There is also the black eagle who was abducted back by Xiaobai, standing on the desk with peace of mind, and unceremoniously stretched out his mouth to drink water in the teacup, and watched the play by the way.
"Xiaobai! And you two stupid tigers! Give me claws. Su Yan sat up half-seated with the quilt, her long smooth hair had become fluffy, and there were some suspicious hairs stuck on it. As soon as the two tiger cubs saw that she was awake, they happily climbed over the mountains and climbed on top of her, and pleased, stretched out their tongues to lick her. Xiaobai also squeezed aggrievedly beside her, "cooing" for comfort.
It was so lively early in the morning, even if it had been three days, she was still not used to it. Su Yan had no choice but to press her temples, and once again sternly warned the Eagle and Tiger Group who were using her bed and body as a battlefield, "Don't fight in my bed tomorrow, otherwise there will be no food!" ”
Qingyun and Mei Ying covered their lips and snickered, their family's ten mothers said this for several days, but they didn't see her fulfill.
"Na ......" and "Goo ......" should be rubbed and rubbed, and squeezed and squeezed.
"Sigh~" Su Yan let out a long sigh helplessly, hugging and coaxing the three out of bed, she got up under the service of the maids, and then went through many obstacles to dressing, washing and grooming, and then dragged the two hairballs out of the door.
Su Zhoucheng, Lu and their two sons had already been sitting in the house, and they watched Su Yan enter the house with great difficulty step by step, and there were two hair balls on their skirts.
"Daddy, Auntie, fourth brother, fifth brother." She saluted in turn, and then she sat down beside her mother amid the snickering laughter of her parents and two brothers. As soon as the two tiger cubs saw her sit down, they jumped into her arms and nested down obediently, Su Yan took the opportunity to stuff a little cold hand into the two hair balls, and it was warm after a while.
Lu looked at his daughter's delicate little face with a smile and teased her: "Do you have two hand stoves?" ”
"Hmm." Su Yan nodded with crooked eyebrows, and said very seriously: "It's very easy to use, especially at night, it's not cold to sleep with them in your arms." It's just ......," she grimaced, "waking up a little in the morning." ”
"Poof......" Su Zhengze laughed, "Ashu, you have to hide your baby well, don't let people get hurt." He told his sister, half-jokingly, half-seriously.
The female leopard was fine, the two tiger cubs and the black eagle of the divine steed, but even the saint coveted it. Not to mention that her little sister won the first place on the first day of the autumn hunt because of these few and got the Yao Sun Treasure Knife, I don't know how many people are jealous of her. Now they are not afraid of anything else, just afraid that someone will take Xiaomei's pet, or kill or injure it is a trivial matter, and they are most afraid that they will use it for other articles, tease the female leopard and hurt people, and then go to the royal court to complain, it will be a little troublesome.
Su Yan's mind is clear, these have been thought about for a long time. She nodded at Su Zhengze and said with a smile: "It's cold in the mountains these two days, and I'm not used to it, so I won't go out with my brothers." "Anyway, the limelight is out, and the benefits are taken, she can honestly squint and wait to go home.
Su Zhengxun had some worry hidden in his eyes, turned his head to look at his father, Su Zhoucheng shook his head at him slightly, signaling that he didn't have to tell Su Yan if he had something to say.
"Little Ashu, borrow Xiaobai for my brother's use." Su Zhengze has been greedy for Xiaobai for a long time, and after knowing that his sister does not plan to enter the mountains and forests again, he wants to borrow it to play. He didn't ask Xiaobai to hunt many prey, he just asked him to turn a beautiful goshawk back for himself.
Su Yan saw through her brother's plan at a glance, she had some black lines, "It's okay to let Xiaobai go out with you, but Xuanyu will also go with you." "So, brother, you can put your thoughts aside.
Su Zhengze was slightly disappointed, but he immediately became happy, although he couldn't turn an eagle back, but he took two eagles out, and it was also very face-saving.
After breakfast, Su Zhengze took his sister to find Xiaobai, and when the brother and sister went out, Su Zhengxun asked with some worry: "Daddy, what did the uncle say?" "Ever since my little sister came back with the leopard, the tiger cub and the black eagle. The uncle's face was dark, and he talked to his father in private, saying that the female leopard and the black eagle were wild and untamed, and he was afraid that they would hurt people, so he asked his father to either sacrifice to the saint, or kill them on the spot, in short, he was never allowed to take them back to the palace.
Su Zhoucheng was also a little embarrassed, and his eldest brother's words were also reasonable. But the young girl...... Thinking of the smile on his little daughter's face that has not disappeared in the past few days, and seeing that the mother leopard and the black eagle get along well with the little daughter, he can't bear to make his daughter sad.
"Why don't my son go and talk to my grandfather." Su Zhengxun belongs to the unconditional spoiling of his sister.
Su Zhoucheng shook his head, "I'll talk to your uncle again." "Why is his eldest brother awkward recently, Su Zhoucheng is clear in his heart. But he really couldn't untie this knot. Especially when he saw that his daughter and the crown prince were getting closer and closer, and the emperor was still happy to see it, everything he said was wrong, and it was just to make his brother angry. For this, Su Zhoucheng really scratched his head.
As he was talking about the crown prince, he heard the voice of his son and daughter outside saluting and greeting, "Your Highness." Then came the voice of the boy who was sleeping and beating him with a stick, and the happiness in that voice could be felt through the door, "Senior sister, Goro, don't be polite." ”
Su Zhengxun looked at the gloomy faces of his parents at the same time, quietly snickered in his heart, and also got up and walked out of the door, His Royal Highness the Prince has come down, and they all have to go out to greet him.
When the family of three went out, they saw His Royal Highness the noble prince of the Great Xia Kingdom surrounded Su Yan with a hundred times more courtesy, and the smile on his face could blind hundreds of pairs of eyes, "Isn't the senior sister going to draw an autumn color map, I will take you to the highest pavilion, and you can see the entire Forbidden Garden." "It's best to paint with two people, the prince's eyes looked at Su Yan brightly, so that he could get along with Shi Niang.
Su Yan was very moved by the prince's mention, and turned her head to look at her father and mother silently, her black and white eyes were full of expectation.
"Then His Royal Highness Lao will take care of the little girl today." Su Zhoucheng was once again defeated in the eyes of his daughter, and he was helpless to give up his hand at the prince.
The prince used a normal face to Su Zhoucheng to assure, "Uncle Shi don't worry, Gu will definitely take care of his junior sister." But when he turned to Su Yan, he smiled in a second, "The mountain is cool, and the junior sister should add more clothes." ”
Su Zhoucheng suddenly felt itchy in his hands, and he wanted to rush up and beat the kid who coveted his daughter, so that he couldn't help his father.
Lu Shi was thoughtful, and his brows that were tightly locked for a while slowly loosened, the prince was indeed sincere to his daughter. If the two really become married, it is always a good thing for the man to have love, and the daughter's married life will have a good start. As for the future, she believes that her daughter will never make her life worse.
