Chapter Fifty-Eight: Hongu, I'm a Little Hungry
"I ......." Akiba Bai hesitated, but he couldn't say anything to his mouth.
Although she hates the Qiu family and has no feelings for the Qiu family, but now her foundation in the court is not stable, even if she has opened the mansion, not to mention that the mansion over there has not been built, even if it is built, the Queen Mother Lafayette will definitely let people plant people over there, and the mother is only afraid that it is not good to take it out immediately, otherwise she is afraid that she will startle the snake and make Yongning Palace wary.
Therefore, it is naturally best for the Qiu family not to move now.
However, what position does she have to ask Bailichu to let go of the Qiu family, Bailichu is not a person who is not thoughtful, she also believes that what she can think of, Bailichu will not be unexpected, but since he decided to move the Qiu family, there must be a reason for him to move.
He must have his plan and layout, not to mention that the Qiu family participated in the assassination of him, it is not impossible for him to wash the Qiu family in blood, so why should he interfere?
"This ...... Since Your Highness has already made up your mind, it is natural that you want to move later, so you can decide for yourself. Akiba Bai was silent for a while and said.
Bai Li Chu looked at her and smiled slightly: "You don't want this palace to move the Qiu family now, do you?" ”
Qiu Yebai looked at him and wanted to say something, but Bai Li Chu suddenly stretched out a finger and nodded lightly on her lips: "Xiaobai, don't lie to this palace." ”
His voice was faint and cool, but it inexplicably made Akiba Bai's heart palpitate, and he only felt that there was a strange faint fragrance on his cold fingertips between his lips, just like the fragrance on his lips when he kissed her.
She only felt that she was simply inexplicable, how could she think of going there, so she immediately wanted to turn her face away, but she didn't want Baili Chu's movements to be one step faster than her, so he withdrew his hand first.
"Tell the truth."
Autumn leaves were white, and then the ghost envoy nodded: "Yes." ”
Baili Chu looked at her, his dark eyes flashed a faint light, and then he bowed his head: "Okay, this palace understands, the matter of the Qiu family, let's let it go first." ”
Akiba Bai was startled, and couldn't help but say, "Don't ...... because of me." ”
"It's not because of you." Bai Li Chu suddenly interrupted her, and the corners of her delicate lips curled into a shallow smile: "What can you do to make this palace change its mind, but it's just this palace's own decision." ”
With that, he turned around and continued walking.
Akiba Bai was stunned for a moment, looking at the slender and elegant figure in front of him, but for some reason his mind passed over when he spoke, the smile on the corner of his lips, that smile seemed to have something that could be called gentle, so that his arrogant and cold words as always sounded more intriguing softness.
She hadn't even figured out what he meant by his sudden change of mind, but her feet had involuntarily followed.
"Your Highness!"
Baili Chu walked slowly, listening to her take a few steps to keep up with him, then looked at her sideways and said lightly: "I heard that the plum blossoms in your yard are planted well, and they have already bloomed, do you want to go together, or go back to the room now?" ”
He suddenly changed the topic, so that Qiu Yebai couldn't ask directly, she paused, looked up at Baili Chu and didn't mean to continue the topic at all, she was in a little delicate, and then said: "The plum blossoms in the garden are good, but I know that there is a place where the plum blossoms are better than the plums in His Highness's palace." ”
After Akiba Bai finished speaking, she regretted it a little, she didn't know what was crazy, but she remembered this one.
But Bai Lichu had already raised his eyebrows with considerable interest: "Oh, where? ”
He has always liked plums, and the people in the palace in the court have voted for him, and sent a lot of rare plum blossoms over, what cuimei, blood plum, five-color plum, Mingguang Hall has, but this is the first time to hear Autumn Leaves say where there are plum blossoms are better.
Qiu Yebai hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You come with me." ”
With that, as soon as she turned around, she walked towards a secluded path not far away, and without hesitation, Baili Chu followed Qiu Yebai with him.
The crane guards and Ning Chun hesitated for a moment, but they still followed silently.
The more you walk on the road that the autumn leaves lead the white, the more it can hardly be called a road, the road is full of dry vines and dead branches, but fortunately it is already winter, most of the branches are withered, only a little trampling, it will fall off, but it is still a little hooked.
So when she struggled to tear off the broken branches and leaves that hooked her cloak, and turned her head to find that Baili Chu was wearing a dark red brocade robe, but there were almost no branches and leaves, and she stepped on the dry grass calmly and elegantly, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and looked at him in a brocade robe with a little surprise: "Your Highness's robe, what kind of material is it made of?" ”
Her eyes fell on the crane guards in the distance, and she found that their condition was not much better than hers, so she naturally felt more curious.
Bai Lichu casually picked a piece of broken grass from his sleeve and threw it on the side, and then said lightly: "The material is just ordinary Shu brocade." ”
Autumn leaves Bai couldn't help but be more curious, while walking to knock off the grass clippings stained on his body, while reaching out to touch his sleeves with a little disbelief, sure enough, the smooth and delicate, water putty-like touch, is the top Shu brocade Undoubtedly, but Shu brocade is a delicate material, but also the most careful, how can it not be contaminated with those grass barley, broken fruit thorns and other weeds, and not be broken by thorns?
Her eyes have always been sharp, deliberately slowed down and walked with Baili Chu for a while, and then discovered the secret, Baili Chu walked like a flowing cloud and wind, walking around, extremely elegant, but every time he encountered those broken grass and fruits, thorns and the like, the hem of the robe swept by the breeze and water without leaving a trace, as if he could feel it without looking down.
And his movements were extremely natural, not as if he was deliberately avoiding, just as if he should not touch those branches.
Autumn leaves were amazed, she already boasted of being elegant in her men's clothes, but Baili Chu really showed her what it means to be really elegant.
Xu is this elegance that is more beautiful and unpretentious than everyone's ladies, and the quiet elegance revealed from the bones has also reduced many people's doubts about his 'princess' identity.
She couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Your Highness, did you practice this kind of posture after returning to the palace later?" ”
She didn't believe that when he was in the Shingon Palace, he would have the heart to practice these postures and manners, and to be able to do it in such a natural way, it was impossible to do it without a little hard work.
But the problem is, even if you want to pretend to be a woman at the beginning of a hundred miles, you don't need to put so much effort into practicing the posture and grooming of these roads, right?
Bai Li Chu looked at the surprise in her eyes, and he said lightly: "I have been in the dungeon for a long time, and over time, the pace will naturally become like this, and when you act in the dark, you will notice not to step on and touch anything that will reveal your whereabouts, including hiding your breath and learning to act like a shadow, otherwise whether it is alarming the prey, or letting the hunters notice your storage, it will be a dead end." ”
"The former starves himself to death, and the latter feeds on the stomachs of others."
Autumn leaves were stunned for a moment, and his mood was complicated for a moment, and then he looked at his 'elegant' walking posture, and only then did he understand that it was the pace of a dark predator, and the exquisite sleeves and robes that fluttered carried the breath of death.
I don't know why, all those beautiful descriptions and feelings are left in an instant--trembling.
How many years, how many months, how many days does a young boy have to experience the escape in the long alley filled with the smell of corruption and death in the dark dungeon, how many times do he have to go through the hunting and being hunted, how many bloody killings do he have to experience, day after day, in order to practice this 'graceful to the bone' pace?
Forever silently 'elegantly' hiding traces has become his indelible way of action.
And what was she doing when she was a teenager?
Accompanying the master to travel through the world, stepping all over the red dust, although the journey is difficult, although it is difficult to practice martial arts, but she is very happy.
Homo, not the same life.
Akiba Bai looked at his calm face with some complexity, and sighed softly.
She didn't notice that her expression softened, but the corner of Bailichu's eyes did, and he lowered his eyes to hide the faint and complex light under his eyes.
At this time, Autumn Leaf Bai suddenly seemed to remember something, paused, then looked around, and then reached out and tore off a dry branch on her right.
Then the next moment, Bai Lichu looked at her with her movements, and her eyes lit up, looking at the scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but flash praise.
The Autumn Mansion occupies a large area, but this place is obviously not frequented, so when the dead branches and vines that obstruct the view are torn off, what appears in front of you is a large field of plum groves growing at the water's edge.
Pink, snow white, light yellow, peach purple, staggered and born, grow arbitrarily, intertwined with each other, people can not tell those flowers on the branches are the tree open, not only the plum blossom of the dust of the feeling, there is an arrogant and beautiful feeling, but also because no one cleans, on the ground fell a thick piece of colorful petals, all over the snow, like a carpet of flowers, and the flower branches pressed the shallow snow, crystal clear, more and more those plum blossoms are beautiful, enchanting and wanton.
The plum forest, which is so pristine and unpruned, gives people the illusion of entering the seclusion of the plum valley in the mountains in an instant, rather than in the capital.
"How's that, isn't it beautiful?" Qiu Yebai looked at the praise on Baili Chu's face, and couldn't help but say a little proudly: "When I was a child, the garden was not something that people like us could go to, and then I accidentally discovered this place, so I often came here in winter to collect petals and asked my mother to make plum cakes for me." ”
When Baili first heard this, he glanced at her, but he was not stingy with praise, he only smiled and nodded: "Natural carving, indeed, is very wild." ”
Ning Chun stood still not far away, and the crane guards also stood obediently and did not move.
"Wild fun, huh." When she returned to this world that she loved most in her childhood, she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed, and looked at him with a smile as she walked: "It's okay to say that, when I was a child, I watched these plum blossoms grow so open-toothed and danced, and the arrogance is not like ordinary plum blossoms, but I imagined that there would be some goblins here to confuse the world." ”
Baili Chu was the first time to see the person in front of him smiling so heartlessly in front of him, and under the staggered contrast with the brilliant plum blossoms on the branches, it seemed even more beautiful and incomparable, with a kind of bewitching charm, but she didn't realize it at all.
The dark current under his eyes became more and more turbulent, almost wanting to devour the person in front of him.
Xiaobai, laughing, it's really delicious.
"What's wrong?" Autumn Leaf White reached out and folded a light rose-purple flower, and when he turned his face, he saw that Baili Chu's expression was a little strange.
"Nothing, just a little hungry." Baili Chu lowered his eyes, quietly covering up the undercurrent under his eyes, just reaching out as if to pluck the petals hanging from her ears for her, and gently caressing her warm cheeks.
