Chapter 142: The Heart Belongs
The sound of the wind in the air fell, blowing Rong Qiu's hair, and the hair fluttered with a sharp breath, and after a while, she finally softened, sobbed softly, and said in a low voice: "Fifteenth brother...... Are you resentful of me too? ”
Leng Fifteen heard this tone, it was really cold, he felt that the hairs on his body stood up, the pores opened all of a sudden, goosebumps rose all over his body, he took a step back, lowered his head and said, "Miss Ronger, my subordinates are just the prince's guards." ”
Rong Qiu's lips flattened, and he was contemptuous in his heart, but his tone was soft, "Fifteenth brother, don't be arrogant, others don't know, I naturally know, you are guards on the surface, but in fact, you are brothers with Yixiu, and he values you very much." ”
Leng Fifteen sneered in his heart, and his face that was raised quickly was full of fear, he glanced at Rong Qiu, and hurriedly lowered his head again, "Miss Rong Er's subordinates really dare not be, what kind of identity is the prince, he is the emperor's biological son, and his subordinates are just ordinary guards, so they really dare not compare with the prince." Miss Wang's second lady would never dare to say this again, otherwise her subordinates would definitely invite a catastrophe. ”
Rong Qiu looked at his timid appearance, with disdain in his heart, and couldn't say anything when he saw it, and he didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he turned around and walked forward.
Leng Fifteen behind her slowly followed, with a sneering smile on his face, his eyes looked at her back, and he smiled proudly, "Hmph...... Use this trick against me? It's all left over from my play! Alas...... I have to thank the hard family years in Dongjiang...... Ah......h
Leng Yixiu watched the figures of the two people disappear into the corner of the street, slowly turned around and walked towards the house, he couldn't see anything in his eyes, only Rong Xi's cold smile and the vague shadow that Rong Qiu left in his mind, he walked forward aimlessly, through the courtyard, a bird that returned late was frightened somehow, and suddenly flapped his wings, awakening his senses.
He looked up, his gaze was slightly condensed, and unconsciously, he walked outside the door of the Red Sleeve Garden.
The door was tightly closed, and two lanterns hung on either side of the door, gently swaying in the warm breeze, like two floating eyes, looking at themselves faintly.
Leng Yixiu raised his hand to knock on the door, and when his fingers touched the door panel, he stopped, his fingertips pressed against the door panel, and the light and shadow of the lantern floated on his fingers, flickering and dimming.
He looked at his hands in a daze, looking at the little bit of flickering light, and the brilliance in his eyes was like that halo, reflected in his heart, and his heart was followed by a slight pain that twitched and loosened.
But...... Why the pain? Is it for Rongxi or Rongqiu?
Rong Qiu is back, and if he doesn't go home, he will come to the palace to find himself first, shouldn't he be happy? I was sad for so long...... After suffering for so long, shouldn't she be happy to appear in front of her like this now?
His hand slowly caressed the smooth door panel, the fine lacquer texture was smooth, and there was a sullen heat in this summer, but it never warmed his heart.
The silence around was quiet, even the chirping of cicadas and insects seemed to be hidden, the rustle of leaves slowly receded with the cessation of the wind, the cold moonlight became a little brighter, quietly shrouded Leng Yixiu's body, and his shadow dragged thin and long on the ground.
Separated by a door panel, but there are two worlds, Rong Xi's heart in the other world is like a mess of grass, blocked in a panic, and it is messy, and there is no clue.
She was half-lying in the bathtub, there was a faint fragrance of flowers floating in the water, she didn't like some petals, she always felt too gaudy, Xiao'er thought of a way, and then mixed those petals into juice and then mixed into the water, and the taste was fragrant and did not leave any traces.
Rong Xi was amazed by these thoughts of the ancients, but today she was a little irritable, and the fragrance of flowers could not calm her mind, and the "buzzing" sound in her ears always heard Rong Qiu's sentence of "...... cultivation" when she entered the door
With such a call, Rong Xi closed his eyes lightly and shrank into the water, as if he hadn't called him like that, right? What kind of mood would he be in?
She inevitably remembered the first night of herself and Leng Yixiu, that ...... Isn't it because Rong Qiu and Zhang Yang are gone that he was sad and drunk, and then ran to himself?
Thinking like this, her heart became even more confused.
Rong Qiu's face and Leng Yixiu's fingers that were frozen beside her appeared in front of her eyes, Rong Xi waved his hand, let out a long breath, and stood up from the bathtub.
Xiao'er hurriedly stepped forward when she heard the sound, took the silk and wrapped it around her body, saw her depressed expression, pursed her lips and said, "Miss...... Did something happen? ”
Rong Xi walked to the dresser and looked at himself in the mirror, his eyebrows were picturesque, his freshly dried hair was like a black cloud, looking at ...... It is indeed a little similar to Rong Qiu, but there is more coldness between his eyebrows and eyes than Rong Qiu.
A thought suddenly flashed in her mind, Leng Yixiu's attitude towards herself has changed these days, and she is not without feelings, but she ...... Is it because of himself or because of his similar appearance to Rong Qiu?
She looked at the blurry bronze mirror, her heart was even more irritable, the dim candle flame kept jumping, making the figure in the mirror more blurred, she waved her hand, did not answer Xiao'er's question, turned around and went to the bed.
Several people couldn't sleep peacefully overnight.
Early the next morning, Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen looked at Leng Yixiu who had left from the door of the Red Sleeve Garden, and both shook their heads and sighed slightly.
Leng Yixiu had just changed his clothes, washed away the fatigue of the night on his body after washing, a few maids came over to set up a meal, he was closing his eyes to recuperate, and a family member walked in and said, "Lord, someone asked to see you." ”
Leng Yixiu frowned, "Early in the morning, who is it?" ”
"Yes...... The second lady of the Rong family. Jia Ding said as he lowered his head.
Leng Yixiu's hand holding his forehead shook slightly, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let her in." ”
"Yes." The housekeeper walked out with a sigh of relief.
There was not much time, just listening to the ring, a woman's graceful figure walked in gently, she was wearing a rose-red dress, the skirt was wide, gently dragged behind her, embroidered with lifelike butterflies, those butterflies have different colors and expressions, and the colorful silk threads are gorgeous.
Her hair was as black as a cloud, combed a cumbersome willow cloud bun, and there were red gold hair ornaments inserted in her hair, especially a butterfly-shaped step of red gold ruby, she walked slightly, and the step shook gently, as if the butterfly had spread its wings and could fly out of her hair at any time.
She walked in step by step, her gait was light, she first looked at Leng Yixiu, her beautiful eyes were full of brilliance, and she swirled around him affectionately like water, and then smiled lightly, with a soft smile on her lips.
Immediately, she gave Leng Yixiu a salute, but she didn't say anything in her mouth, and then her eyes turned on the meal that the maids had just placed, her brows furrowed slightly, her eyes stared at a girl who looked a little pretty, and said with some displeasure: "Just give these to the prince?" ”
Yahuan was suddenly stared at by her and asked, she couldn't help but be stunned, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, and then turned her gaze to Leng Yixiu.
Her move made Rong Qiu even more unhappy, and was about to ask, Leng Yixiu waved his hand and said, "You guys go down." ”
The maids saluted and stepped out.
The room was silent, only Rong Qiu and Leng Yixiu were left, and the sweet fragrance on her body wafted in the room, slowly approaching Leng Yixiu.
He twisted his brows imperceptibly, his head hurt a little after a night's sleep, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he smelled this aroma, but Rong Qiu didn't notice it, she walked lightly, walked to the beauty couch under the window, and glanced at the bed that was neatly cleaned, the quilt was neatly folded, but it was just ...... It's not like anyone has slept with it.
Her heart sank slightly, and the fingertips pinching the food box added a little strength, but the smile on her face did not decrease at all, and even became sweeter, "I know that those subordinates are careless, breakfast is very important, how can you do it without fine waiting?" I get up in the morning and make these things carefully, so come and try them. ”
Leng Yixiu's heart moved slightly, hesitated, and finally stood up, walked to the small table on the beauty couch, and saw Rong Qiu take out a few delicate small dishes from the food box, which contained a few dim sum, sweet and fragrant, and a bowl of shredded chicken and lean scallop porridge, which was rich in umami.
Leng Yixiu looked at these foods, and the emotion in his heart just now suddenly blew like the wind, and there was no trace in a blink of an eye, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he went to the Red Sleeve Garden to eat and drink in Rongxi, and the vegetables and porridge there seemed to be good.
"Taste it." Rong Qiu said, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of purple pastry, originally thinking about putting it on the small plate in front of Leng Yixiu, but somehow, the tip of the chopsticks turned and came to Leng Yixiu's lips.
Her fingers are delicate and smooth, her nails are bright pink and pink, and her fingertips gently hold on to the crimson wooden chopsticks.
Leng Yixiu felt a faint irritability in her heart, as if this irritability began when she reprimanded Yahuan in the tone of the hostess.
Although he is sincerely in love with Rong Qiu, he has never done anything unruly, and there has been no situation where two people have met alone before, one is the deep lady of the General's Mansion, and the other is the royal prince, and the most basic etiquette cannot be broken no matter what.
Especially later, Leng Yixiu married Rong Xi, and she didn't like it at that time, she was also her own princess, for Rong Qiu, she refused to let herself and let her be the side room, so there was no such thing as private contact, even if there was unwillingness in her heart, no matter how strong the affection was, she just put each other in the bottom of her heart.
However, now, not only did she come to her alone twice, but she also brought food like this, and now she is holding chopsticks with her own hands, like this...... Isn't that too inappropriate?
