Chapter 25: Dark Calamity
Xiao'er stayed in the house, Mei Xiang quietly retreated, planning to prepare a few snacks, when she looked up, she saw Leng Yixiu standing under the tree, her clothes swaying in the wind, the falling flowers under her feet turned up, gently crossing the top of his boots, and the petals in the air like snow and clouds gently fell between his hair, and she felt that her heart seemed to be floating.
"Lord Wang......" Mei Xiang stepped forward lightly, slowly saluted, red clouds flew on her cheeks, and her eyes seemed to fluctuate with spring light.
Leng Yixiu frowned slightly, his expression was cold, and he brushed his sleeves and said, "What about the princess?" ”
Seeing that he didn't wake up, Mei Xiang didn't even look at herself, her heart was slightly astringent, she bit her lip and said, "The princess is asleep." ”
Leng Yixiu stepped into the house, Xiao'er hurriedly stood up softly, and retreated gently, seeing Mei Xiang standing in the courtyard, her eyes were slightly red, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Mei Xiang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Mei Xiang pursed her lips and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." ”
Leng Yixiu's heart was already a little irritable, and he was even more unhappy by calling a girl just now, what happened to that girl? How do you look so restless!
His anger suddenly dissipated when he stepped into the inner hall, and on the mahogany bed in front of him, Rong Xi was sleeping on his side, and the curtain was not put down, but it hung quietly on both sides, so soft, but not as soft as Rong Xi's hanging hair.
Her hair is as black and shiny as satin, soft as water, people can't help but want to pick it up, let her fingers gently penetrate it, and feel the smoothness, her eyebrows are still slightly wrinkled in her sleep, Leng Yixiu looked at the slightly twisted eyebrows, and even her heart seemed to be tugged at.
Her face was hidden in the dark, but it still couldn't stop the brilliance on that face, like a pearl under the sea, exuding a soft and moist light, her hand was placed under her head, and the other was placed on her chest, and the curves of her body were graceful like a lute, and a thin blanket was placed from her chest to her thighs, sweeping the best spring light, but ...... It attracted the attention even more, and I wanted to go down to find out......
Her calves are slightly bent, long and straight, like a fine jade Ruyi, the trouser legs are vertically up, revealing the slender ankle bone, connecting the foot below, the skin is as white as milk, and the ten small and delicate toenails are like pearl shells, which are not dyed with any color, just like the artwork carefully made by the master carver......
Leng Yixiu's breath was suffocated, and his eyes slowly warmed up with the heat of his blood, and at this time, Rong Xi, who was asleep, suddenly opened his eyes.
Her eyes were not as misty as when she first woke up, but they were clear and straightforward, and Leng Yixiu's still wandering mind immediately recovered, and she smiled bitterly, does this woman want to be so awake all the time?
"Coming back?" Rong Xi said, sat up, turned the blanket on his body, covered his legs and feet, his upper body was straight, and his eyes were burning.
Leng Yixiu looked at her full body guarded and a little helpless, and no longer walked forward, and sat down on the beauty couch under the window, "Have you gained anything today?" ”
"Yes." Rong Xi nodded, "I met a staff member of the East Palace, and I heard that he is the only staff member in the East Palace who knows how to defend the country. ”
Rong Xi's eyes suddenly appeared in front of Rong Xi's eyes, such a smile but not a smile, a flash of fine light, just a little contemplation, Leng Yixiu asked, "What do you remember?" ”
"The supervisor of Tianyang Academy is very interesting." Rong Xi said: "There is always a ...... A hidden feeling. ”
"Oh?" Leng Yixiu was slightly stunned, and then smiled.
Rong Xi felt that he was smiling a little meaningfully, but now his mind was on that staff, and he didn't say anything more, thinking about how to find out the truth of that staff.
"The details of that staff will be given to you within three days, and we'll see you then." Leng Yixiu looked at her slightly frowning brows, as if she had been stabbed by something, and there was a kind of fast and sharp pain.
Rong Xi looked up at him, the indifference at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was much lighter than before, and the brilliance under his eyes seemed to pour out from the corners of his eyes, so dazzling, it suddenly illuminated the deepest part of Leng Yixiu's heart.
Looking at the person in front of him, Leng Yixiu suddenly felt that a heart seemed to have been washed, and his mind became broader, as if the things he cared about were quickly leaving him, and he just wanted to cherish the person in front of him, and spend a day and a day with her.
"Thank you." Rong Xi's voice was soft, and although his tone was light, it was a little less cold.
It's just that these two words were like a wave, slapping on Leng Yixiu's head at once, smashing the thought between his thoughts just now.
His body stiffened slightly, exhaled lightly, turned his head to look at her, and said, "Rongxi, you always seem to be so polite to me." ”
Rong Xi had already turned her head after saying thank you, her head was lowered, her black hair covered half of her face, the black hair and the white of her skin were amazingly intertwined, making Leng Yixiu have an urge to pull her hair for her.
He shook his hand tightly, and there was a slight pain from his nails in his palm, and when he stood up, his sleeves swinged, as if he was lonely and helpless.
Both of them were silent, there was a faint sense of suffocation, the air seemed to have become viscous, even the wind was pulled slowly and long, and the faint fragrance of flowers was mixed into the breath, making Leng Yixiu's heart have a hard and indescribable pain.
He walked out of the door of the Red Sleeve Garden, and stood at the door for a long time, the red sun in the west slowly sank, and the surrounding clouds were dyed into patches of red, deep or shallow, rolling layer by layer, and on the other side, an arc of white crescent moon had risen, cold and light, in sharp contrast to the fiery red sunset.
Rongxi ...... The corners of Leng Yixiu's mouth pulled out a bitter arc, you and I, do you want to be like this red sun and this crescent moon? How long will it take?
"Madam, look, the prince has been standing there for a long time." Peach at the moon gate whispered, "Why don't you ...... The slave and maid went and asked him to come? ”
"Hmph," Su Ting snorted coldly, grinding out of her teeth word by word: "I don't know what means that cheap woman used, the prince ignored her before, and actually went to her several times in the past few days!" ”
"It's not just because she's pretty......" Pink said with a pout.
"Are you saying she's prettier than Lady Ben?" Su Ting's gaze sharpened, and she stabbed at Taohong like a knife in an instant.
"No, that's not what the slave meant," Peach shook her head, and hurriedly took a step back to explain, "Madame is the stunning, you guessed right, she must have used some shady means." ”
The anger in Su Ting's eyes was even stronger, "Hmph, when Mrs. Ben finds out, you must take care of her!" ”
"Madam, the prince is coming this way." Pink reminded.
"Quick, go over there." Su Ting hurriedly carried her skirt and walked in the direction of the garden, she had to meet Leng Yixiu by chance.
Leng Yixiu couldn't figure it out in his heart, his steps were heavy, and his head seemed to be stuffed with a stone, he counted the distance from the Red Sleeve Garden to the Moon Gate step by step, as if he could understand Rong Xi's mood and guess what she was thinking.
Suddenly, a gorgeous skirt in front of him blocked his way, "Lord, concubine greets you," the voice was tactful, sweet and moving.
Leng Yixiu's expression was cold, he looked up, and Su Ting, who was dressed in fancy clothes, stood in front of him, hanging her head slightly, vaguely seeing the charm of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, her waist curled like a willow, and the cumbersome and delicate embroidery on her skirt was like a spring glorious.
"Something?" Leng Yixiu's mood suddenly became irritable.
"Lord Wang, I haven't seen you for a long time," Su Ting's voice was low and soft, with a faint begging, and her little face was also shy and timid, Chu Chu moved, "Can you ......?"
"Are you complaining about the king?" Leng Yixiu's eyes narrowed, and the dark clouds under his eyes rolled in an instant.
Su Ting was taken aback by such a gaze, her full of charm froze in an instant, her originally ruddy face suddenly turned white, looking at Leng Yixiu standing in the red light of the sunset, she didn't know why, she suddenly seemed to smell blood, "Concubine...... There is no such meaning...... The concubine body does not dare! ”
"If you don't dare, go back to the courtyard quickly!" Leng Yixiu said, strode away, he didn't look back, and even the fluttering clothes seemed to be angry.
Su Ting looked at his back as he strode away, and there was gradually a misty light in her eyes, and in the flickering waves, Leng Yixiu's back slowly turned into a blurry black spot, like a thorn, stabbing into her heart.
She looked back, tears splashed, and she stared hatefully in the direction of the Red Sleeve Garden, "Rongxi!" It's all you! It's all because of you! I, Su Ting, swear to be incompatible with you! ”
At this time, at the beginning of the lanterns, the inns and restaurants on Kyoto Street have hung lanterns, and from a high place, those lanterns are connected together, like a soaring dragon, meandering forward.
Rong Xi leaped up to the attic, the house of the palace is much higher than the ordinary people's house, and she climbed the highest tower in the house, the ancient house is made of wood, the palace, officials and other rich people in order to prevent the water from catching fire, they built a tower in the house, and the garden pond is connected, and a large amount of water is stored.
Leng Yixiu also likes to climb high and look down, so he built a small attic on the tower, such as a simple pavilion, with the breeze and moon on the top, and the sound of flowing water in the tower below.
Rong Xi stood in the wind, her long hair was flying, hunting like a flag, her eyes were looking into the distance, the flipped dragon was magnificent, but she paid more attention to a red light, that red light was as soft as a beauty's blush, blurred like a charming and inviting look.
It is Kyoto's "red light district", a gathering place for brothels in green houses.
