Chapter 11: The Quarrel (Part 1)

Only eunuchs are closest to women?

Shuangbai is slightly sad.

At this time, Yibai happened to hurriedly walk over with Lao Zhen, listening to the conversation between Baili Chu and Shuangbai, he almost laughed, but he didn't have the courage, so he held back his internal strength and forcibly endured it, and his feminine and handsome face looked a little distorted.

Lao Zhen and Shuangbai both glanced at him in unison.

Baili didn't think about it at first, and said to himself: "Lao Zhen, you say." ”

Lao Zhen stepped forward and did not answer him directly, but compared the flowers to Baili Chu: "Your Highness, you haven't had dinner yet, let's have dinner first?" ”

Later, he added: "The old slave and Yibai also heard the others say that Lord Qiu specially went to cook today. ”

This is the reason why he and Yibai hurriedly turned back to find His Highness, His Highness and Shuangbai originally planned to go through the shortcut of the garden to the study, he originally wanted to inform His Highness and Shuangbai not to mention certain things in the garden, so as not to be heard by the girl of Autumn Leaf Bai in an unprepared situation, but he didn't want to be too late.

Baili first came to his mouth to refuse, and the silence was silenced, he silently bypassed the flowers, and sure enough, he saw that there were dishes and chopsticks in the pavilion, and the dishes were also heated by a small charcoal stove, because there was a lid covering the soup pot, it also isolated the aroma of the dishes.

He reached out and removed the metal lid on it in turn, and the rich and delicious aroma instantly wafted out, making several people behind him swallow their saliva.

He looked at the spicy red fish fillet and the golden chicken soup, and was silent for a while, then sat down.

Lao Zhen immediately said: "The people in the kitchen said that there was another dish that was hot on the stove, so the old slave asked someone to send it over." ”

Baili Chu suddenly said: "By the way, send a few more sets of dishes and chopsticks." ”

Lao Zhen was stunned for a moment, looked at Shuangbai, Shuangbai also shook his head strangely, he didn't know what the master was going to do.

"This meal, you can also sit with the palace." Baili Chu said lightly.

Don't say one white or two white this time, even Lao Zhen couldn't help but widen his eyes in an instant, this ...... This...... This...... What exactly did they hear?

Although His Royal Highness eats a lot of food, it is no longer than the days when he was short of food and clothing in the underground palace in the past, so it is not strange to let them eat together, but to share the food cooked by Lord Qiu?

This kind of thing, even if it fell on any of them, would absolutely refuse, actually appeared in His Highness?

Yibai was a rectum subconsciously wanted to blurt out: "Your Highness, you ......." ”

Sick?

"Shut up!" Lao Zhen coldly interrupted Yibai's words, and then looked at Shuangbai: "Go to the kitchen and let people bring things over, according to His Highness's instructions, add more of our dishes and chopsticks, this is His Highness's grace." ”

Shuangbai immediately nodded and turned away silently.

This is indeed the grace of His Highness, every time they watch His Highness dine with Akibabai, they are fantasizing about when they will be able to get a piece of the pie, only a fool like Yibai would say that kind of stupid thing.

Taking advantage of this time, Lao Zhen first put a piece of boiled fish fillet with chopsticks in the bowl and handed it to Bai Lichu: "Your Highness use it first, you and ours have different physiques, it's best not to be hungry." ”

Especially during this period when His Royal Highness's physical condition is so special, it is even more necessary to ensure the supply of food.

Yibai looked at the red and bright fish fillet, and subconsciously said again: "Hey, Your Highness doesn't like spicy food, has Lord Qiu forgotten?"

Bai Lichu took the bowl and chopsticks, looked at the red and bright fish fillets inside, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and he sent the fish fillets into his lips without a little hesitation.

After a while, the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly: "It's not very spicy, it's fragrant in the mouth, and a little spicy just bakes the fresh aroma of the fish." ”

"Besides, after eating, you will feel a little warm in your stomach and a little warm in your body, right?" Lao Zhen asked with a smile.

Bai Li Chu stroked his stomach and nodded lightly: "Yes." ”

Lao Zhen nodded, and continued to smile: "That's right, although Lord Qiu is not as petty and gentle as the average daughter's family, but she is also a careful heart, how can she not remember that His Royal Highness does not like spicy food because of his physique?" ”

Bailichu's sense of taste is more sensitive, and too much spicy will irritate his sensitive mouth, so he has never liked spicy food.

Lao Zhen helped Baili Chu scoop chicken soup and said: "Lord Qiu will not only pay attention to what His Highness is suitable for and what is not suitable for cooking, but also take care of His Highness's preferences and habits. ”

Baili Chu bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

Lao Zhen handed the chicken soup to Bai Lichu, and said with a smile: "Then dare to ask Your Highness, every time you make a decision for Lord Qiu, have you ever thought about her preferences and habits?" ”

Baili Chu was stunned, raised his head and looked at Lao Zhen, his expression was a little unpredictable: "This palace is for her good, she is not a woman who is comfortable with the courtyard wall, she likes to see the mountains at a glance, she likes to be free, this palace will let no one be restrained by her from now on, isn't this her preference?" ”

Lao Zhen laughed: "Your Highness, some things have never been about right or wrong, and they have nothing to do with benefits. ”

He compared the fish on the table: "If you follow your thoughts, in fact, the big and small lamas have said that your body is cold, and eating more spicy seeds, peppercorns and other things with a strong and stimulating taste is more beneficial to you than sweets, that is to say, Shuxiang cuisine is more suitable for the New Year, but in addition to this not too spicy boiled fish fillet, she has made you other dishes with a very strong taste?" ”

Baili Chu was stunned, looking at the white jade-like fish fillets in the bowl, thoughtful.

Lao Zhen suddenly said: "This is Lord Qiu's thoughtfulness for you, just like those of us who are slaves, except for those of us who have different intentions, which of us doesn't want the master to be good, the master is good, and he can be good, but not every slave can get the master's blue eyes, a good slave has to be intimate and close to the lungs, and figure out the master's thoughts and preferences everywhere in the master's seat." ”

Baili Chu found that Lao Zhen was silent after saying this, and he came and raised his eyes to look at Lao Zhen: "Go on." ”

Lao Zhen shook his head again and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the old slave doesn't know anything about men and women, and he can say these thoughts just from the perspective of a slave. ”

Woman?

The corners of Bai Lichu's eyes were slightly raised, and a trace of disgust flashed in his expression.

Lao Zhen and Yibai naturally saw it, and sighed in their hearts, His Royal Highness's misogyny, which was tossed out by the burning lamp, didn't seem to have any major adaptations because of being with Qiu Yebai and burning the lamp.

But Bai Lichu only hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "What kind of woman do you ask?" ”

Lao Zhen shook off the dust, touched his chin and said, "Far away in the sky, close in front of you." ”

Then, he looked at Yibai, and Baili Chu also looked at Yibai to the side with Lao Zhen's gaze.

Yibai waved at them in disbelief: "No, Your Highness...... I'm not a woman! ”

Seeing Bailichu's desolate eyes, Yibai couldn't help but glared at Lao Zhen angrily: "Lao Zhen, what are you doing to frame me, and the kind of thing that a woman dresses up as a man can only be done by Shuangbai!" ”

No matter how you look at his physique, he can't be a woman!

Seeing his panicked and annoyed look for the first time, Baili elegantly put a chopstick fish into his bowl, and said, "Yibai, do you want to eat?" ”

Yibai looked at the tender fish, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and then was ruthless, ripped off his belt and trouser belt, and said without tears: "Your Highness, you have to talk about it!" ”

If he doesn't agree, His Highness will also ask someone to 'verify his body', but it's better for him to come by himself.

Baili Chu's chopsticks paused, and his cold gaze moved from a white slender and stout hairy leg and a place where he was an absolute master, to Lao Zhen's face, and said expressionlessly: "How did this idiot defeat all the crane guards in the first place, did he use any despicable means?" ”

Lao Zhen turned his face with a complicated expression, as if there was still a flash in front of him about things that he no longer had, and then let out a short sneer angrily: "Will he use it?" ”

Yibai looked at the conversation between the two, confused, and at a loss in his heart, he only subconsciously clamped his legs in embarrassment, and said a little shyly: "Your Highness......." "Can he wear pants anymore?

"Don't speak in that voice!" Bai Li Chu and Lao Zhen were cold, and a sharp voice sounded instantly.

Yibai: "......." ”

What did he do wrong again?

……*……*……*……*……*……*……

As the night wore on, the garden lit up with green lights.

Yibai stood behind the bushes, pacing back and forth, looking into the pavilion with some concern from time to time.

"Don't you walk around, your highness will be dizzy, can your wind slave eat you?" Shuangbai looked at Yibai and scolded with a slight frown.

Yibai looked at Shuangbai and snorted coldly: "She is now pregnant, and she will give birth in two months, you don't have a woman and children, what do you know?" ”

He didn't even dare to love, for fear of hurting the swallow.

"A good big man, what kind of mother has become, his brain is not good, not to mention that you are not a father-in-law, so you are in such a hurry to do something." Shuangbai snorted coldly.

His Royal Highness and Lao Zhen obviously wanted to summon the person who was a wind slave, but this idiot was good, he actually took off his pants in the garden, proving that he was not a woman, and he didn't know where his brain grew, and he was not hooked by food, so he was afraid that he would be lost on a woman.

It's a shame that he has such a shameful colleague!

Originally, the embarrassing thing made Yibai and his stomach depressed, and Shuangbai still spared no effort to mock him.

He was annoyed and ashamed, and sneered: "Heh, yes, if I find a woman to chirp, it's better than someone who doesn't even have a woman, and is praised by His Highness for 'like' a woman?" ”

Shuangbai was poked in the heart headache, and suddenly became angry, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were frosty: "What do you say, if you have the guts, you can say it again!" ”

"What, you still want to fight, are you afraid of you, a?" Yibai snorted coldly and began to roll up his sleeves.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, I saw a pot-bellied figure stepping out with the support of Lao Zhen.

"Wind slave lady, be careful." Lao Zhen helped the wind slave to avoid a stone on the road, and said with a smile.

Feng Nu Xiu had a faint smile on her face: "Feng Nu can save it." ”

Feng Nu stroked her stomach with one hand and held a palace lamp in the other, the soft yellow light made her whole person seem to be gathered in a strange warm yellow, and her originally delicate eyebrows became more and more gentle and steady, and even the few freckles on her cheeks because of pregnancy made her beautiful and gentle.

Yibai, who saw the side, forgot that he was still going to beat people, and only stared at the wind slave in a daze.

Shuangbai looked at his obsessive appearance, sneering flashed in his eyes, and secretly said, what's he talking about with a stupid idiot.

"What are you still looking at there?" As soon as the wind slave turned his face, he saw Yibai standing not far away, staring at her directly, which inexplicably made her feel ashamed in her heart, and she couldn't help but glare at him.

There are still people here, isn't it enough to do the stupid thing of taking off their pants in public?

Yibai immediately hurried over, took the wrist of the wind slave from Lao Zhen's hand, carefully supported her waist, and said gently: "Let's go, we should go back." ”

The wind slave nodded, leaned on him, and slowly walked out of the garden with his support.

Lao Zhen looked at the warm backs of the two, nodded with a smile, and looked at Shuangbai on the side: "Shuangbai, are you old too?" ”

Shuangbai said expressionlessly: "It's better to lack than to abuse." ”

He won't be like the stallion of Yibai, who doesn't move when he sees a woman.

……

"Yanzi, what did Your Highness ask you?" Yibai helped the swallow all the way out and asked.

Feng Nu smiled: "Your Highness is there a quarrel with the four young people?" ”

Ichibaku nodded.

Feng Nu held his waist and said lightly as he walked: "Your Highness wants to think about what the woman thinks in her heart, in fact, this matter is simple and simple, after all the daughters' families get married, if they and their husbands are Qin Se and Ming, they all hope that no matter what decisions the husband makes, he must understand that this day is lived by two people, no matter what decision he makes, he needs to really stand in the position of others to think more about each other." ”

Feng Nu paused and raised his eyes to look at him: "Just like you are my man, although we have no name now, I hope that one day I can help you when you need it, instead of just standing behind you, one day I can also let you rest and not be so tired." ”

This is also one of the reasons why she wants to follow Si Shao,

When Yibai heard this, he also thought about it, looked at the wind slave, and suddenly sighed with emotion: "Feng slave, Lao Zhen said that you have been stupid for three years when you are pregnant, but you are getting smarter and smarter." ”

Feng Nu chuckled and patted his hand: "Are you getting more and more stupid, don't let your children laugh at you in the future." ”

Yibai's face was slightly embarrassed, he reached out and gently touched her belly, and snorted: "If he dares, I will beat his boy's ass." ”

……*……*……*…………*……*……*…………*……*……*……

Let's say that this autumn leaves went back to the inner hall to take the waist card of the beginning of a hundred miles, all the way to open the layers of palace doors, and went out of the palace smoothly, originally wanted to go straight to the master of ceremonies, but quickly walked to the door of the master of ceremonies, and suddenly saw several cars parked at the door, which were brightly lit, and there were people who looked like Xiao Er in and out of the car to end the wine, dishes and incense candles in the car.

She suddenly remembered that there were many people burning paper money on the corner of the street, yes, today is Qingming, and the celebrant should worship the ancestor today, and it stands to reason that she, the head of the celebrant and the celebrant, should also be sacrificed with them, but because she has to go out with the army, she entrusted everything to Zhou Yu.

She stroked her forehead and smiled helplessly, she was so angry that she forgot about this stubble.

At this time, Zhou Yu must be presiding over the ceremony, and it is not suitable for her to go in at this time.

Akiba Bai groaned for a moment, then turned around and left the front door of the celebrant supervisor, and after walking to a corner, he took out a white piccolo with a strange shape from his sleeve, put it to his lips and slowly blew it.

The sound of the flute was extremely strange, sharp and long, unusually clear and piercing in the night, as if it could penetrate the thick night to reach the heavens.

After about a quarter of an hour, a carriage grunted towards the mouth of the alley, and finally stopped beside Akibabai.

As soon as the person who drove the car raised his face, revealing a cute and delicate young man's face, who was it not Xiao Qi, he smiled at Qiu Yebai: "Four Shao, come up!" ”

At the same time, the curtain of the car was also opened, and it was not Ning Qiu who was carrying the curtain.

Qiu Yebai raised his eyebrows slightly: "Ning Qiu, aren't you still in the palace, you two ......." ”

She left the palace in a hurry today, and when she left the palace gate, she remembered that the two girls from the house were still in the palace, but after thinking about it, there was a bedroom for them to rest in the Mingguang Palace, so she was not in a hurry.

Ning Qiu's red lips pursed, and said with a smile: "After the subordinates knew that you were out of the palace, they directly climbed over the palace wall, but I don't know which way you will go today, thinking that you will definitely go back to the celebrant first, I took a shortcut back, and as soon as I heard the bone whistle, I knew that you were calling Xiao Qi out, and I didn't want to alarm others, but I am not anyone else, so I also followed Xiao Qi out." ”

Qiu Yebai smiled, although Ning Qiu was a little spicy, she was careful and intelligent, she was an excellent interpreter flower, every time she was in a bad mood, it would be much better to have Ning Qiu as her company.

"Si Shao, where are we going?" Ning Qiu thoughtfully poured a glass of water and handed it to Qiu Yebai, who was sitting in the car.

Qiu Yebai looked at the sky, looked into the distance, and said lightly: "Let's go around the city first, and wait for the people of Qiufu to sleep later, let's go back to Qiufu." ”

Back to Qiufu?

Ning Qiu was a little puzzled, Si Shao had always hated Qiu Mansion the most, and now the fifth aunt did not live in Qiu Mansion, but in the palace, how could Si Shao return to Qiu Mansion at this time?

As if seeing Ning Qiu's question, Qiu Yebai said lightly: "I want to go back and see the young Merlin." ”

It was a place that calmed her mind, and in her early years, she stayed in Merlin when the days were difficult in the Autumn Mansion, to settle and relax.

"Okay." Xiao Qizi, who was driving outside, also heard it, so he drove the car and led Qiu Yebai to the main road in the city, all the way around the city along the main road.

Today is Qingming, there is no curfew in Beijing, every family worships the ancestors, many people are on the street corner to the wandering ghosts to burn paper money or gold and silver horns, the whole street is submerged in the curling smoke, piles of fires are jumping in the dark night, as if the fire is secluded, so that the whole Shangjing looks unusually ghostly in this night, so that people can't tell for a while whether this is the ghost of the Yellow Spring or the world.

Autumn leaves open the curtain and quietly look at the house of the paper money burning outside the window, occasionally you can hear a few faint and resentful cries, and the sad flute sound from nowhere, as if full of longing for the dead.

It's cold and cold.

Qingsi turned white in a blink of an eye,

Who waited for whom for three years on the Nai Ho Bridge?

Whoever turns around, who turns back, is gone.

On the other side of the Yellow Spring, the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze, and the faces of people don't know where to go.

……

Akiba Bai watched the pale paper money slowly turn into a fire in the hands of a crying old woman, and suddenly remembered the cold pale hand of the man, and her heart trembled slightly inexplicably.

Ning Qiu on the side saw her appearance, sighed lightly, and took the teacup from her hand: "Si Shao, you look at the Qingming Festival, how many people are paying tribute to the dead, but no matter how many tears are shed now, it is not as good as when people are still there, they can stay together for a moment, and they can hold each other's hands for half an hour, do you say yes?" ”

She was silent and said softly: "I'm just afraid, I'm afraid that one day I will suddenly find out that what I hold in my hand is a piece of paper money, a handful of ashes, and I won't be able to find him." ”

She is not afraid, she once didn't love him, so she hated him to death, but if she loved, she would love and hate, hate and part, and taste the seven sufferings of the world.

But she didn't want him to know that she was afraid, she wanted him to know that she was strong enough, stronger than he thought, that he didn't need to do everything for her, that she was not an ordinary woman, that she could protect herself and protect him.

"He always hides from me, I am the last to know the most important things about him, I don't know when I find out that I have lost him, will I not even be able to see him for the last time, huh?" Akiba chuckled a little tiredly.

What woman would not be afraid to hear the prophecy that her lover would not live to thirty-seven, she was just as afraid, so afraid that she would have nightmares at night and have to hold his arm to fall asleep, and would repeatedly ask the lamas and the little lamas about him.

Even if she got the most definite news that his health was improving, she would still be worried.

Ning Qiu looked at the knuckles of her hand holding the car window lattice slightly white, suddenly felt sad, and reached out to hold her soft hand: "Four Shao, no, Your Highness's body is improving, not only the big and small lamas said so, but the Jianghu doctors you have asked so many people to see, aren't you also so sure?" ”

Qiu Yebai closed his eyes, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, leaned against the wall of the car, and said faintly: "In the past, I let myself do my best in order to be invincible, but now, I am invincible so that he doesn't have to be in a cāo heart for me, in order to keep up with his steps, and let him know that I can completely protect myself and protect him, so that he doesn't take me under his wings, and I can share his qiē." ”

She paused, and smiled helplessly: "It's a pity, I still failed, am I too hasty?" ”

Ning Qiu held her hand and said distressedly: "Four young ......." ”

This is the first time she has seen such a fragile Akiba white, maybe when a woman really cares about a person, no matter how strong the woman is, she will show the most vulnerable side.

Qiu Yebiao closed his eyes, waited for the tears in his eyes to dissipate, and then opened his eyes and said lightly: "Go back to Qiu Mansion, I'm fine, I just want to be quiet." ”

Ning Qiu held her hand and saw that she didn't want to speak, so she nodded: "Okay, let's go back to Qiu Mansion." ”

Xiao Qi, who was sitting outside the car, shook his whip and ran towards Qiufu not far away.

And none of them noticed that two ghostly white shadows were floating on the roof, and when they saw her carriage go away, one of the white shadows asked the other: "Lord Qiu is going back to Qiu Mansion, do we still want to follow?" ”

"Your Highness just asked us to follow the adults back safely, and now we shouldn't need to." Another white shadow groaned.

"You can hear what the adults said along the way with the art of listening to sounds?"

"There are few people on the road at night, and I can hear it clearly, but I can go back to my life."

The two white shadows agreed, and then drifted towards Miyagi not far away.

……*……*……*……*

Qiu Yebai led Ning Qiu and Xiao Qi to enter through the ordinary gate, and she didn't want to alarm the Qiu family, especially Qiu Yunshang.

When she was upset, she really didn't want to see those hypocritical faces anymore.

They jumped straight to the back garden, the Qiu family's garden was huge, and now there was no one left.

Everyone knows that there are a lot of dirty things in this high-ranking family, and there are not a few dead souls in the lake, and the eldest lady has drowned a few slaves and maids who offended her.

Therefore, there are only a few dead wind lanterns lit by the lake, so that no one will stumble and fall.

The dead wind lamp swayed in the cold wind, like a little ghost fire, which made the garden quite ghostly and terrifying.

Autumn leaves and his party have seen blood on their hands, so naturally they will not be afraid of these, and they will go all the way to the most barren merlin.

She knew that Merlin wouldn't have flowers at this point, but she just wanted to sit inside.

It was only when the three of them came to Merlin's vicinity that they suddenly heard something in the air and the sound of the rope.

The three of them were all martial arts practitioners, so they all paused in unison and looked around.

"Woo......."

In the depths of the dark forest, a woman's low whimper suddenly sounded, like a cry and a complaint, and it seemed to carry the ultimate forbearance.

Although Ning Qiu was also a martial arts practitioner, suddenly in the middle of the night, when the ghost door was wide open, he instantly got goosebumps when he heard such a voice.

"What......."

"Shh Qiu Yebai made a silent gesture, which made Ning Qiu shut up instantly, because she also found that although she had lowered her voice, as soon as she spoke, she found that the female voice disappeared in an instant.

A warm hand suddenly grasped her hand, and the familiar contour and warmth of the palm made Ning Qiu understand that the person holding her hand was Xiao Qi.

Her heart settled slightly, and she also looked at Autumn Leaf White.

Autumn leaves squinted his eyes slightly, looking around through the desolate moonlight, this place is barren, and it is definitely not ordinary people who will come.

She clearly heard the crying, could it be hell?

A moment later, the small voice sounded eerily in the darkness.

"Woo-woo-woo......."
