Chapter 143: The Side Room
Leng Yixiu hesitated slightly, Rong Qiu had already noticed it, she bit her lip, the bright red lip flap twisted between her teeth, the pain and uneasiness made her tears gently overflow her eyebrows, "Xiu, you still blame me, right?" ”
Her voice was low, like a sad complaint, softly plucked the string at the bottom of Leng Yixiu's heart, his heart moved slightly, and at the moment of confusion, he seemed to always feel that there was a pair of cold eyes staring at him.
His heart trembled, and he finally couldn't open his mouth, but he just raised his hand to pick up the small plate in front of him, took it under Rong Qiu's chopsticks, and said softly, "Put it down." ”
Rong Qiu's heart was even more uneasy, but she was always a boudoir lady, not a Qinglou woman, so she had to blush, her fingers loosened, and the pastry was put into his plate.
"Let's try it." Rong Qiu urged.
Leng Yixiu smelled the sweet and greasy taste, and then looked at the bowl of porridge that was so fresh, he always felt that the two flavors were particularly strange to match, he raised his head and met Rong Qiu's moist eyes, but he couldn't say anything if he refused.
Helpless, he could only hold on to the chopsticks and gently clamp a little, put it between his lips and teeth and tasted it, sure enough, it was too sweet, he squinted his eyes slightly, in front of him was Rong Qiu's gorgeous dress, the extravagance of the whole body made him a little unaccustomed, and Rong Xi's handsome men's dress and her appearance when she wore women's clothes like a clear lotus out of the water always appeared in front of him.
"Is it delicious?" Rong Qiu blinked, her eyes were happy, the steps in her hair were shining, and the brilliance made Leng Yixiu squint again.
He put down his chopsticks and didn't answer her question, just rubbed his fingers lightly on one side of his temple and said, "Why did you come here early in the morning?" But what's the matter? ”
When Rong Qiu heard his question, his heart sank even more, but his face was ashamed, he turned his face away slightly, and said coquettishly: "Nothing...... It is...... Some people can't rest assured that you, those people are not fine, sister...... It's not a dutiful one, I'm worried about ......."
"I'm fine, and they didn't do their best," Leng Yixiu interrupted her, his tone was slightly cold, and he himself was slightly surprised after blurting it out, he paused, and when he spoke again, his tone was slightly softer, "Rong Xi...... There is a kitchenette and the dishes are good. ”
Rong Qiu was shocked when she was interrupted by him, her fingers were clenched together, and she gritted her teeth secretly, how could he talk to himself in such a tone? How so? How could he?
Also, there is a small kitchen in Rongxi? When did this happen? Hasn't she always been unhappy with Leng Yixiu? Although she occupies the title and position of the princess, her real status in this mansion is not as good as that of the side concubine Su Ting! If I'm not mistaken, even Su Ting doesn't have a kitchen!
blamed her mother, she kept pulling herself to ask questions last night, and she was trembling, which made me annoyed, but I forgot to ask about the current situation in the palace.
She was angry in her heart, but her face was aggrieved, warmth and sadness were intertwined between her eyebrows, and her voice trembled slightly: "Xiu, don't you like me anymore?" ”
When Leng Yixiu heard this question, he felt that the headache was more obvious, this was also a question he wanted to know, he had asked himself many times last night, but he couldn't find the answer after all.
When he was young, Rong Qiu's shadow always lingered in his heart, and after many years, he believed that he was not a heartless person, and he still adhered to the favorite in his heart.
However, with Rong Qiu's departure, he walked to Rong Xi's room by mistake and ...... with her Since then, she has been attracted to her, she can always surprise herself, and change her concept little by little.
When he first saw Rong Qiuqing locked in her, he believed that what he needed was such a woman, petite and weak, gentle as water, she was her heaven and her earth, and she didn't have to go through wind and rain, and spent a good time safely under the protection of her wings.
However, Rong Xi's character and actions all shocked him, overturning the thoughts in his heart again and again, and he suddenly felt that people like Rong Xi who were resolute and brave, who could stand side by side with him, who had the ability to spread their wings and soar with him, and who looked down on the nine heavens were the most suitable for him.
He was immersed in his troubled thoughts, Rong Qiu suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, he was startled, looked up at her, only to find that she had burst into tears.
Her brow furrowed, her delicate eyebrows twisted into a heart-wrenching shape, her long curly eyelashes wet with tears, and her eyes were dark and moist, "Repair...... It's me who is not good, I shouldn't be willful, but I was ...... I'm really dizzy, I'm jealous of my sister! She snatched you! But I can't love you well, if she loves you, I'll admit it, but ......"
Her words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into Leng Yixiu's heart suddenly, as if the cold blade suddenly cut in the fanatical heart, and with a "bang", blood splashed, and pain swept him instantly.
"So, I just want to snatch the person she loves," Rong Qiu didn't know Leng Yixiu's psychological changes at this time, and still said to herself, "But, I found out that I was wrong, the person I love the most is you, it's you......"
She cried in a low voice, tears streaming down her face, which made people move and heartache.
Leng Yixiu was also heartbroken, but it started from the moment he heard Rong Qiu say that Rong Xi didn't love him.
"Xiu-I am willing to put down the shelf of Miss General's Mansion, put aside my pride, I really do, I want to be your side concubine! I don't mind if it's the side room......" Rong Qiu held Leng Yixiu's hand tightly, with anticipation in his eyes, as fierce as a brilliant firework.
Leng Yixiu's heart was shocked like a firework, blooming gorgeously, and then ...... Returning to silence, he looked at her earnest gaze, and somehow those beautiful eyes, which had always attracted his own eyes before...... suddenly became a little unfamiliar, but a pair of bright and cold eyes always appeared in his mind, which made his heart awe-inspiring.
He quietly withdrew his hand, his voice was low, making the eagerness in Rong Qiu's eyes disillusioned little by little, "Side room...... According to the rules, even if it is a side room, the king has to discuss it with the princess, she is the serious heroine of the palace. ”
He muttered, as if he was talking to Rong Qiu, and as if he was talking to himself, Rong Qiu's heart seemed to be pressed into the cold and biting water, and at first it was still "gurgling" and bubbling with small bubbles, and in the end, it fell silent.
She suddenly didn't believe her ears, she had the urge to raise her hand to touch her ears, her eyes stared at him without blinking, and her voice didn't even look like her own, "But...... You're not...... Love me? This kind of little thing should be very simple......"
Leng Yixiu's eyes went from the window to the courtyard, there were a few celadon vats in the courtyard, which were planted with newly cultivated lotus flowers, a new one bloomed this morning, pink and delicate, he suddenly thought of the lotus flowers in the red sleeve garden, was it also extraordinarily beautiful this morning?
Rong Qiu's words floated into his ears, like a few thin and tough strands of silk densely and tightly wrapped around the tip of his heart, and he asked himself again and again: Yes...... Don't you love her? Isn't it easy to do the side room? It is very simple for ordinary officials to take a side room and carry a concubine, although the master mother is also dissatisfied, but it is only dissatisfied, the side room should still be there, and the concubine should be carried or lifted.
However, Leng Yixiu didn't want to go his own way, instead of Gu Rongxi's feelings, remembering that when he first got to know her, her cold eyes with hatred, and the firmness when he swung the knife at him, his heart hurt as if he was rolling on a blade, and it was not easy for her to change her attitude towards herself, he didn't want Rong Xi to be wronged because of Rong Qiu's matter.
Actually, she's already been wronged, isn't she? Leng Yixiu lowered his head and looked at the tips of his fingers in a daze, the numbness and coldness that did not freeze on the corner of Rong Xi's clothes last night came again.
He suddenly understood that if he loved Rong Qiu, would he still care about Rong Xi's feelings? If you care about Rong Xi more than Ai Rong Qiu, then ......
He shook his head, frightened by his own thought, no, no, if he doesn't love Rong Qiu so lightly, then, what is the relationship for so many years? I always thought that I was different from those men who were used to wandering around the pile of women, so now it seems, what is the difference?
Rong Qiu saw the expression on his face change, his face was reflected in the brilliant morning glow, his eyebrows were so long and black, and the eyes under his eyebrows were as bright as stars, but he didn't see him for a short time, he was actually more heroic, but the corners of his mouth were curved, and there seemed to be a little more warmth, how could such a man belong to Rong Xi's slut?
How can it?
She gently put her face close to his fingers, her tone was more gentle, and the whole person was like a docile kitten, quietly leaning down beside him, and muttering, "Xiu...... I really love you, do you feel it? ”
Leng Yixiu's fingers felt the delicate skin, and the tip of his nose was her fat powder, he turned his head, looking at the flowers on her delicate clothes, as well as the glittering jewelry in her hair, and suddenly felt that he was in a pile of jeweled clothes and jewelry, and the lingering fragrance on the tip of his nose became stronger and stronger, making him more and more uncomfortable.
He withdrew his hand and stood up gently, his tone was as light as a fluctuating cloud, "I still have some things to deal with, and I need to discuss the matter of the side room you said, I need to discuss it with the princess......"
His words stopped at the edge of his lips, and his eyes crossed Rong Qiu's misty eyes, and fell straight on the clear shadow at the door.
Rongxi.
She looked at the two figures here, the male is handsome, the female is gorgeous, in this morning light, the posture is intimate standing together, a very wonderful picture.
It's just that what makes her heart a little unhappy is that the man is her husband, and the woman is her so-called sister.
