Chapter 224: Waiting, Waiting (I)

Xiao Si picked up a fan resting on the shelf, unfolded it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

There is a beautiful landscape painting on the top, because it is on the fan surface, the space is limited, and the pen is extraordinarily fine.

"Of the things sent by the palaces, there are a few of them that are pleasing to the eye." Xiao Si said in a low voice.

Not hearing the answer from the scarface man behind him, he looked back, only to see that the man had already left the work in his hand, and looked at him without blinking.

His eyes were deep and he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The scar-faced man glanced at Xiao Si deeply, and grabbed another fan that he had repaired before, what he originally wanted to go to the table was, after all, it was a precious thing, so he stopped it and gently knocked it on the back of his hand.

He looked at Xiao Si expressionlessly: "You have something to hide from me, right?" "How many times have I been here, and there are not many times when I am interested in playing with things on the shelf."

The scarface man recalled: "It was the same last time, but when you went out with your front foot, there was a fire in the palace flower garden on your back foot. ”

"This time too, no matter how I look at you, I feel that there is something behind you."

"You think you can hide it from me!" He said dismissively.

The suspicious gaze of the scar-faced man kept rolling on Xiao Si's face.

Xiao Si was stunned for a moment, looking at the scar-faced man's expression and stunned: "Where did you start with this?" "What do you mean when I go out with my front foot, and there is a fire in the flower garden on my back foot, do you want to tell me that I set the fire?"

"I have no grievances with the people in the flower garden, and I ran to set fire to it in the middle of the night, what about me!"

I have to say that the scarface man has the same acumen that he has been in the Martyrdom Pavilion for a long time. It's just that you can see something unusual from the clues.

Xiao Si knows that he has been with him for a long time, and they both understand each other's personalities.

Sometimes, the more people who know deeply. The more difficult it is to hide your own thoughts.

The other person may be able to perceive the difference from your eyes and actions.

"Am I not worried?" Xiao Si thought for a while, and then said with a smile, "The palace banquet is about to start, there are still so many things in the palace, how are the people in the pavilion where we are going to go next, these things make me worry." ”

"You can see it. What's so strange. A faint smile crossed Xiao Si's lips, and he asked rhetorically, "Who doesn't have anything to worry about." Don't you? “

"No, no." The scar-faced man simply stood up this time, walked all the way to Xiao Si, and stretched out his palm. It shook in front of his eyes. "Don't get in the way of me, get away from me." "What do you mean?" Xiao Si pursed his lips and stared at him.

The scar-faced man's eyes flashed with a sly light: "I still had a little doubt before, but now looking at your appearance, if you don't confess, I don't think it's a little bit." ”

"It seems that you really have something to hide from me, tell me quickly, which side is it related to?"

The scar-faced man's complexion changed, and his tone was fierce. Some anxious.

"You also have contact with the people in the cabinet, are you hiding something from me behind your back?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Xiao Si stood up and was about to leave, but when he arrived at the door, he turned back to the corner of the scar-faced man's mouth and said, "Even if there is, I don't worry about telling you." ”

"Let me tell you this, except for this little bit of work in your hands, I don't worry about leaving the rest of the things to you!"

After that, Xiao Si ignored him anymore, turned around and walked away, leaving the scar-faced man standing in place, his nose almost crooked.

The scar-faced man said to Xiao Si's back: "Let you look down on me, who told you that your master only has kung fu in his hands, and his ability is great!" ”

"You don't understand your master's skills!!"

I knocked on the door, but there was no answer, so I hesitated, then opened the door and looked inside.

There was no one at the desk, and the whole study was so big.

I put down the box in my hand and looked around the whole room, behind the screen, on the wooden couch, and I didn't see He Yanzhi there.

After thinking about it, I walked quickly to the door, and sure enough, Mingzhu was still standing on the side of the corridor looking at me.

Half of her body was hidden behind the pillars, and her eyes were a little apprehensive. "Pearl!" I stood in the doorway and shouted, and she hesitated and walked towards me tremblingly.

When he came to me, he whispered with a gloomy expression: "Does the emperor want to discipline me?" “

I looked at Mingzhu angrily and funny and said, "Yes, he is furious and wants to kick you out!" "Ahh Mingzhu looked at me in horror and couldn't speak. "Funny to you, I've been there, and there's no one in the study."

I lowered my voice.

Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, looked around me and looked in, but didn't see anyone in the study, looked at me and said, "They are mistaken?" "In the morning, I always said that the emperor was discussing matters in the study."

"When I got the snacks, the master told me about them." Mingzhu was surprised! "Your news is so unreliable, it seems that all the dim sum has been made in vain," I said depressedly, "so much effort has been wasted." "Don't go out," Mingzhu hesitated, tilted her head and thought about it, and asked me, "What then, Xiaoling?" “

Compared to the other few people in the flower garden, Mingzhu is the most simple-minded, and she looks at me with an inquiring gaze.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Otherwise, I'll wait here for him for a while." "It's a pity that the snacks I made on purpose were wasted, and besides, I came here after a trip, so there's no reason to go back right away, I have to wait." "Xiaoling, then I'll wait with you." Mingzhu whispered.

I glanced at her and looked at the expression on her face to know that this was said reluctantly, it was the incident of last night that scared her, and that kind of He Yanzhi was something that Xiao Mingzhu had never seen.

From the moment he heard the voice, he gave the impression of being gentle rather than harsh.

I know that he has suspicions, so he will talk to Xiao Mingzhu in that tone, if I hadn't accidentally fallen and interrupted, I might have asked. "No need, you too, the emperor wants to rule the harem, you can't expect him to be as docile as a cat all the time, he is a big tiger."

Mingzhu looked at me thoughtfully. The eyes are not instantaneous. "He Yanzhi, he is a big tiger with a better personality, he doesn't eat people if he has nothing to do. But it also eats people. “

I think it's vivid enough that she should be able to understand it. "It's nothing to take a few sentences, you have to get used to it, just get used to it, you still have to stay in the Lin De Palace." "Don't you understand that?"

Mingzhu said with a bitter face: "It's okay for everyone else, because it's the emperor, I'll be"

"But you're right. Xiaoling," she lowered her head and pondered, "Okay, I'll listen to you." "Then I'll go back. Or go upstairs and wait for you. “

Mingzhu walked out of the long distance and stood on the corridor and waved to me.

I turned and entered, looked around, and picked out the desk and sat down.

There are still chess pieces in the chess box. I took one and looked at it over and over in my hand. Next, I picked a few and put them on the board

He Yanzhi went out early in the morning and came back from outside after finishing his work.

Walking to the door of the bamboo garden, a guard who appeared out of nowhere saluted him respectfully and said, "Emperor Guijun, I haven't come out." “

He Yanzhi nodded knowingly and glanced at him.

The man vanished.

The manpower outside the main building has changed a batch, and the people on duty at the moment are the elite of the hidden guards, and what happened last night was very strange, if the person who set the fire came to the Lin De Hall to check the terrain. If it is not good for Xiaoling, the situation will not be good.

The other party is a master. Now it is also dealing with the elite of the hidden guard.

The strength of the two sides should be about the same, if this is the case, he can't help He Yanzhi stood in place with a heavy face for a while, made up his mind, and went upstairs directly.

Mingzhu was lying on the table waiting for Xiaoling, she had been waiting for a while, and she didn't come back.

She really wanted to go to the study to find out the news, but she was afraid of causing trouble for herself.

After going around the room a few times, I remembered what Xiaoling said to make her wait with peace of mind, so I had to sit down again.

But she was the only one in the big room, although there were also a few books on the table, Mingzhu came close and flipped through them, but she was not willing to read them!

Local terroirs, water scriptures, all have no interest.

I knew that I would have to wait so long in the building, and I could bring some needlework to do when I went out in the morning, and Mingzhu regretted it a little.

At this moment, I didn't dare to wander in the forest outside the building, so I had to stay bored and honest.

He Yanzhi walked in the door, his steps were light, and he was caught off guard, Mingzhu was frightened again, and knelt on the ground a few seconds late, because he was flustered and nervous, and his tone was stammering. "Huang Guijun, Xiao, Xiaoling is here, waiting for you in the study." "When you went in the morning, you went out, no, not there."

He Yanzhi looked at Mingzhu's nervous expression, and when he heard what she said, Xiaoling had already gone to the study to wait for him, and his mood suddenly improved a lot, and his tone was soft: "You get up." “

After speaking, he turned around and left, Yu Mingzhu didn't dare to raise his head after a while, where is He Yanzhi's back!

On the chessboard, the white pieces are connected in a line, and the black pieces are truncated on the periphery after all.

When He Yanzhi came in, I was playing happily by myself.

He stood in the doorway and watched quietly for a few moments before leaning down to look at the chessboard near the table.

I looked up at him and saluted, and he made a gesture for me to sit down.

He Yanzhi sat across from me, staring at the game on the chessboard and said, "What kind of fresh gameplay is this?" ”

"Hehe, you don't know, it's backgammon, and if you connect five like this, you're losing."

I patiently explained to him.

"Try?" After saying the rules, I asked.

I played ten rounds with him, and it took very little time, so this kind of play is already fast.

"Did you come up with it yourself?" He Yanzhi put down the chess pieces in his hand and asked me.

"What's the matter, I learned it by watching others play." I sue him.

"Oops, I forgot about dim sum." I quickly stood up and opened the box that was sitting aside, fortunately it was still warm in the cold study, and the snacks in the box were still a little warm, "You can taste the ones you made in the morning." ”

He Yanzhi took a piece and ate it slowly in his hand, I paid attention to his expression, and when I saw his smile, I knew that the taste was passable.

"Why are you so interested?" He narrowed his eyes at me.

"In the morning, Mingzhu sent snacks, I heard that the kitchen was steamed, and the little disciple of the master was given a training, and I relented, so I went up and pointed out." "Looks like I should send you to the kitchen." He Yanzhi stared into my eyes, and said with a smile on the corner of his lips.

I understood, he was complimenting me, and answered: "How can there be a good study?" I'll pour you some tea. ”

Stood up and served tea for He Yanzhi, he took a sip and drank extremely gently, I always felt that this person's movements were familiar, looking, watching, I couldn't help but wander again.

"How's your book going?" He Yanzhi suddenly interrupted my thoughts.

"Ah," I quickly gathered my mind and concentrated in reply, "I read it quickly, I'm done reading it all, and it just so happens that you're there, I'll pick a few more and take them back to read later." ”

I walked over to the bookshelf and carefully picked it up, my eyes following it until I had a stack of books in my hand.

"Don't bring it," He Yan said.

I was immediately embarrassed, blushed and looked at him and said, "You said you wouldn't bring it if you didn't bring it." "I don't mean that, I mean, from now on, you will come to the study every day on duty, just take a look here, take it back, it's too heavy to carry on the road." "If you really want to bring it, I'll have someone get it for you." "It's so delicate," I laughed, "just a few books." "I see, you're worried that my arm isn't healed, so I'll listen to you."

He Yanzhi turned his head, looked out the window, and said in a slightly unnatural tone: "I naturally have my reasoning." ”

I said a few words first, and then exchanged thoughts on the two books I read last night.

As soon as the topic changed, I was still entangled in the original matter.

"Emperor Guijun, the fire in the flower garden, Your Majesty shouldn't hold Qingzhi accountable, right?"

"She has always been on duty in that place, and if she is implicated in this matter, I feel sorry for her."

"You still have the time to think about other people's affairs," He Yanzhi looked at me and stroked his eyebrows, then picked up the tea and said, "Don't worry about yourself, how big your heart is." ”

"Isn't that you?" I said calmly, "I'm a member of the Lin De Hall now, and you're covering me when the sky falls, so what do I have to worry about." ”

When He Yanzhi heard this, he choked on a sip of tea!

When I returned to my place of residence, I still had one more book in my hand, although I listened to him and didn't take it all, but I couldn't run away one or two books.

He Yanzhi was also really busy, not long after I stayed in the study, someone came in to present the purchase list for the palace banquet, and I listened to the attendant's babbling list, and I almost fell asleep after listening to it.

He Yanzhi turned his head and saw my appearance, and let me come back with kindness.

When I walked in, Mingzhu was lying on the table.

The combed hair was scattered to the side, and strands hung down on the table.

The room was warmer, warmer than He Yanzhi's study, and Mingzhu's face was red from sleep.

The previous one also said that he was worried about the emperor's punishment, and he slept soundly at this time!

I said in my heart that He Yanzhi's words are not right, where is my heart bigger, in fact, I won't find out if I don't compare, isn't there a bigger heart! (To be continued......)
