Chapter 25: The Gift

When he returned to the palace, he was bright and bright, and he passed through the long corridor and through several palaces, and finally jumped into the palace. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"County Lord, Wang...."The two maids standing vigil by the gate of the palace looked like they wanted to say something when they saw Changqing.

"Shhhh The consequences are unimaginable, "Be quiet, don't tell others about today's events..."

After finishing speaking, he disappeared without waiting for the palace maid to finish speaking, and after Changqing entered the palace, the two maids frowned and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

After entering the inner hall, Changqing lit the candle as quickly as possible, and after the candlelight sprinkled the entire room, a tall figure came into Changqing's eyes.

The man was tall and sturdy, dressed in a black fleece robe and shawl, and stood motionless like that, holding his elbows and facing away from Changqing

"Ahh - Who are you? Such a man suddenly appeared in the originally dark space, and Changqing was so frightened that he picked up the candlestick beside him and was about to hit the man

At the moment when he was about to make a move, the man turned around and put his hands behind his back, his eyes stared at her tightly, revealing a cold breath, it was Beigong Shengyun.

His face changed, and Changqing took back the candlestick that was still flying in mid-air in a second, but he didn't make the candlestick slam to the ground.

Quickly showed a cute and innocent smile, "What a coincidence..... It's so late, why are you here..."

Before the voice fell, Shengyun took her hand and pressed her head to himself with his right hand, "Don't speak, don't speak......" he said over and over again, closing his eyes.

His movements quickly gave her no time to react, he held himself with a lot of force as if he was going to suffocate, struggling again and again, his strength was really too great.

"You, you've hurt me," she knew, and if she didn't say anything like that, she would choke. Sure enough, Changqing was "released" as soon as he finished speaking.

He looked into her eyes, and she looked at him as he looked at himself, neither of them speaking

Finally, Shengyun spoke, "Have a good rest and go." Before Changqing could answer, he strode out of the door.

Looking at the sound and shadow of the person who walked out of the door, Changqing slapped his shoulder, "What a strange person"

I probably slept until noon, "County Lord~ County Lord, are you up?" ”

"(confused)" rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, "What's the matter.... (Confused)"

"Back to the county lord, His Royal Highness Mu Xuan wants to see you outside the door," the maid whispered outside the door.

I've never heard of this name, "His Royal Highness Mu Xuan..... Who?" but listening to the maid's tone, it must be a big man.

In the room, Mu Shuang was putting on the last coat for Changqing

"Mu Shuang" This is the first time Changqing has seen someone other than Shengyun, and he is a little nervous for some reason, "Do you know His Highness outside the door?" How is he? ”

"The county lord" Mu Shuang tied Changqing's pockets, "His Royal Highness Mu Xuan and the king's henchmen are also left and right, in this north palace, in addition to the king, His Royal Highness Mu Xuan is the most powerful person"

"Mu Shuang, you misunderstood what I meant, what do I mean by him?"

"His Royal Highness Mu Xuan is a very good person, and the county lord will know it in a while," said Mu Shuang, and walked out of the door to tell the maid outside the door.

It didn't take long for a polite man to walk in outside the door, Shengyun's appearance was already very delicate among men, but this person, his face was more delicate than Beigong Shengyun, under the faint eyebrows, the two pairs of eyes were as elegant as mist, and the long eyelashes flickered on the eyes were very moving.

"Meet Your Highness" Changqing looked at him and almost forgot to salute, "Changqing didn't sleep well last night, and it was really a crime to let His Highness wait outside the door for so long." ”

Quickly helped Changqing up, "You don't need to be so polite to me, just like before....." He looked at her and smiled at him

As before, you haven't changed, but I've changed......

Sitting at the table, Mu Xuan took a black flower box of sandalwood handed over by his servant, Mu Xuan put the box on the table and handed it to her, "This is a gift for you, you have been back in the palace for so long..... I don't know if your taste is still the same as before."

As soon as Changqing opened it, he smelled a strong fragrance of flowers, inside was a grid of square grids, inside were different varieties of pickled incense and tea petals, and the colorful petals were neatly placed in the square.

"This is something I specially asked someone to brew for you, you used to like Hehua tea very much, but it's been a hundred years~" Mu Xuan looked at Changqing, I haven't understood her preferences for so long, it's been so long, is her taste still the same as before......

"It's been a hundred years..... Changqing gently stroked the petals, "Thank you, you still remember my taste after so long..." Even I have given up my former self, and I really thank you for remembering."

Closed the lid, got up and put the sandalwood box on the shelf, and the moment Changqing got up, the jade pendant on his waist hooked to the corner of the table and fell on the carpet on the ground.

Mu Xuan bent down and picked up the jade pendant, it was a peerless jade, except for a few scratches, the jade surface was smooth and translucent, the whole jade body was uniform powder blue, it was a faint plain blue, and the middle of the jade pendant was carved with a four-clawed dragon pattern.

Four-clawed dragon? This is clearly a dragon only owned by members of the royal family, Mu Xuan saw that this jade pendant was not made in recent years, and it looked like it had been around for some years.

"This jade pendant is well-made, it is by no means defective..... handed the jade pendant back to Changqing, "Which famous artist is this jade from?" ”

Changqing touched the emptiness on his waist and quickly took the jade pendant, laughing at himself, "This piece of jade is what I have worn on my waist since I was a child, and my adoptive father has made me wear it all the time.........."

Stared at the jade pendant for a long time, and finally returned to reality from the memory, "Thank you" said and tied it to his body.

"I'll help you"

Changqing's jade pendant is different from the way ordinary people wear it, she wears the jade pendant on her underwear, so Changqing takes off her outer coat to make it easy to wear.

Mu Xuan bent down and approached Changqing to take the jade pendant with his own hand, carefully bypassed the belt and tied it tightly. It was at this time that she could see his hands, which were plump and white, slender and delicate, as delicate as his appearance.

Changqing lowered her head slightly, the distance between her and him was only a fraction of a second, and even her breathing could be heard clearly.

Just the moment of tying, "What are you doing?" Outside the door, Shengyun leaned against the door and watched for a long time before finally stepping into the room.
