Chapter 64: Secrets
Li Anyue stopped and walked directly to Meilou after she was far away from Shenyue Haoqing, at this time the tears on her face had been dried by the wind, except that her lips were still red, and she couldn't see anything unusual from her face, but her heart was full of anger and nowhere to go, and she felt ashamed and angry.
"An Yue, you're back!" As soon as she walked through the Tangli Palace, she met Green Bamboo, who saw her slightly ruddy lips and asked suspiciously, "Eh?" Why are your lips red? ”
"Bitten by a dog!" Li Anyue replied angrily, and went directly to Meilou and entered his room.
As soon as the door was closed, Li Anyue ripped off the mask, wanting to wash his face with water to sober up, but found that he had never come back from fetching water today, and his heart suddenly became even more annoyed, so he threw himself on the bed, buried his face in the quilt, and did not show his face again until he was out of breath.
She still couldn't understand Shenyue Haoqing's behavior, she didn't know what this man was thinking, even if his face was disfigured, he was still a prince, and he wouldn't find a woman he liked, not to mention that there were more beautiful women than her, and he wouldn't like such an ordinary face, was he crazy?
Li Anyue imagined several possibilities for Shenyue Haoqing to do these things, but they all felt unreliable, and finally a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and he came to a final conclusion: he was making fun of her!
"Bastard!" Li Anyue was so angry with this idea that she gritted her teeth and pounded the quilt with her fist fiercely, but she was still tired.
That feeling, a little sweet, greasy......
"Smack!" Li Anyue slapped her head fiercely, and rolled around the bed a few times wrapped in the quilt, "Don't think about it!" Don't think! Don't think about ......"
After taking a few deep breaths back and forth, Li Anyue calmed down in the quilt, and then stayed for a long time wrapped in a zongzi, remembering that Concubine Xian wanted to find herself before she was willing to get up. She sat down in front of the vanity mirror, saw that her lips had returned to their normal appearance, and greeted Shenyue Haoqing again in her heart before putting the mask back on and going downstairs.
When she arrived at the Lily Palace, Shenyue Haoqing was already sitting at the table drinking sugar water with Concubine Xian and Shenyue Haozhe. Li Anyue's figure paused obviously after seeing Shenyue Haoqing, but Shenyue Haoqing just raised his eyes and continued to eat calmly. Li Anyue couldn't help but be very angry when he saw him so calm and relaxed, as if nothing had happened, and became more and more sure that he was making fun of himself, so he silently scolded "bastard" with his mouth.
"Slaves and maids, see Niangniang and His Royal Highness the Prince." Li Anyue walked to Concubine Xian's side and deliberately did not distinguish between the names of Shenyue Haozhe and Shenyue Haoqing, in order to express her dissatisfaction.
"Didn't you go to Chuxiu Palace? How did you get back? When Concubine Xian saw her coming, she put down the spoon in her hand and asked.
"Isn't Niang Niang looking for a slave?" When Li Anyue heard her question, his eyes couldn't help but look at Shenyue Haoqing, but he was still eating his own things with his head down.
"No, this palace knows that you may go back to send a good friend, so I ordered you to go down and serve you today."
"Xie Niangniang thinks so much about the slave maid, the slave maid has already seen them."
At this time, Luzhu came in with a plate of mung bean cake, and when he stood next to Li Anyue, he asked her in a low voice: "Anyue, is your mouth okay?" ”
It's just that although the voice was not loud, the people in the whole room heard it, so several eyes looked at Li Anyue's mouth in unison.
"Mouth, what's wrong?" Concubine Xian also looked at her and asked.
Li Anyue glanced at Shen Yue Haoqing, her face was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say for a while, "Niangniang, this ......"
"Said he was bitten by a dog!" Without Li Anyue worrying for long, Lu Zhu quickly said it for her.
"Ahem!" As soon as Lu Zhu's words fell, Shenyue Haoqing, who was drinking sugar water, suddenly coughed, and then coughed violently.
"Why is this all of a sudden? You okay? Seeing him like this, Concubine Xian hurriedly went over to help him stroke his back.
Shenyue Haoqing waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, "Maybe the sugar water is too sweet, and I was accidentally choked." ”
"Is there one? How do I feel no different from usual? Concubine Xian also picked up the sugar water and tasted it, but she didn't feel any difference, and asked Li Anyue again, "What happened when you said that you were bitten by a dog?" ”
Li Anyue couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief when she saw Shenyue Haoqing looking so embarrassed, and her mood was not so depressed, and when she heard Concubine Xian ask her, she smiled, "No, the slave maid is joking with Sister Luzhu, but I didn't expect to really deceive Sister Luzhu to believe it." ”
"Fourth brother, don't be in a hurry when you eat slowly, people won't run away." Shenyue Haozhe said after swallowing the last mouthful of sugar water in the bowl.
Shenyue Haoqing's hand that was about to get the mung bean cake paused obviously, but Concubine Xian was curious, "Who won't run away?" ”
"It's the fourth brother......"
"Auntie, I'm done. Zhe'er, come and hang out with the fourth brother! You don't have to come along. Before Shenyue Haozhe finished speaking, he was taken out by Shenyue Haoqing with a lazy waist under his arm, and stopped the green bamboo who was going to go out.
"Hey...... The two children ......" Concubine Xian couldn't help but feel funny when she looked at the big and small, thought about it again, and asked the green bamboo next to her, "What did Zhe'er mean by what he said just now?" ”
Luzhu thought for a while, "Looking at the prince's reaction just now, it seems that he doesn't want His Royal Highness the prince to say it." ”
"Yes, could it be that Haoqing really has a girl he likes?" Concubine Xian thought for a while, and suddenly reacted in surprise.
Luzhu wanted to discuss with Li Anyue with a frustrated face, but Li Anyue just stood there thinking about things attentively, didn't pay attention to her questioning, and just said "um" from time to time.
Shenyue Haoqing almost carried Shenyue Haozhe back to the room, and as soon as he entered the room, Shenyue Haoqing asked him, "Zhe'er, what do you mean by what you just said?" ”
"Which ones?" Shenyue Haozhe tilted his head and asked incomprehensibly.
"It's the sentence that people won't run away."
"Doesn't the fourth brother like Sister An Yue?" Shenyue Hao replied as a matter of course.
"How do you know?"
"Hey, hey!" Shenyue Haozhe covered her mouth and snickered, "Last night I saw you secretly kissing her, and the mother concubine said that if you like someone, you will kiss him, so the mother concubine often kisses me." ”
"Zhe'er, don't you mention these things to anyone else?"
"Isn't it okay for the mother?"
"No, you can't."
"Why?"
Shenyue Haoqing squatted down and looked at him levelly, "Zhe'er, this is for her good, and also for the good of the fourth brother, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble, you know?" ”
"Got it, whatever the fourth brother says, Zhe'er will do." Shenyue Haozhe shrugged his shoulders, "But fourth brother, how can you like her, she is not as beautiful as the mother concubine, and she is not as beautiful as Sister Biyun." ”
"I think she's beautiful, and isn't it interesting for her to tell stories? It's nice to sing, isn't it? ”
Shenyue Haozhe thought for a while, "Well, it seems that this is really the case. ”
"Now that Zhe'er knows the secret of the fourth brother, are you willing to help the fourth brother?"
"How can I help?"
"The fourth brother will tell you when you need Zhe'er's help, now you just need to protect this secret."
"Okay, we can pull the hook so I never say it!"
"Okay, retractor!"
So, a common little secret was quietly born in the house.
In the Prince's Mansion, a figure staggered into the Crown Princess's room.
"Prince? Are you drunk? Qin Shiyu saw Shenyue Haotian walk in, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, so he quickly helped him to the table and sat down, and poured him another cup of tea to sober up, but Shenyue Haotian didn't drink it, just stared at the teacup and kept laughing.
"What's wrong with you today? Don't you like to drink on weekdays? Why are you drunk today? Is something happening? Qin Shiyu couldn't help but be a little worried when she saw him like this.
Shenyue Haotian grinned and said with some slurred words, "No...... Things, this prince is high and happy today! ”
When he came back this afternoon, he shut himself up in his study, and had wine brought him, deliberately getting himself drunk. He tried to use this method to intoxicate himself, but the more he drank, the clearer his brain became, and the clearer the image of Li Anyue became in his mind, her smile, her eyes, her little freckles...... It's all more vivid and profound than usual.
He hardly thought about her on weekdays, just like he did with another person before, he just felt that he felt very happy and relaxed during the time spent with her, as if he had found a place to breathe freely, and only with her would he not think about the grievances and intrigues on weekdays. Even if Yu Wenyun asked such a question today, he didn't think about whether his feelings for her were really like this. It's just that when Shenyue Haoqing forcibly took her away in front of him like that, he suddenly had a pain that he had never experienced before, the sourness that slowly derived and spread from his heart, and the pain. At that moment, he realized that he wanted to stand by her side.
"Is there anything happy that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would like to share with the concubine?" Qin Shiyu helped him to the bed to change his clothes.
Shenyue Haozhe lay on the bed and let her move, but her mind was full of Li Anyue's figure, and her ears were full of Li Anyue's voice, "Today, I finally feel real or ordinary, and I finally understand my mind, thank you." ”
"Your Highness, the concubine doesn't understand what you mean. You are drunk, let the concubine serve you to rest. Qin Shiyu thought that he was saying this to himself, and took a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead for him, but he was unexpectedly grabbed by him.
Qin Shiyu's face flushed, and he called "Your Highness", and then took advantage of the situation and lay on Shenyue Haozhe's chest softly, listening to his heart's strong beat, his fingers constantly rubbing against his neck.
