Chapter Twenty-Eight: Midnight Tryst

The mandarin duck looked at the night uneasily, the ink black overshadowed the brilliance of the moon, and there was no light. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info As time went on, she became more and more cramped. Duanyue asked her tentatively. "What's wrong?"

"Ah, it's okay!" The mandarin duck immediately shook his head and sat upright, the smile on his face seemed to hide his strange behavior.

Duanyue drank the plum wine in the cup, seemingly careless. "This feast is almost over, it's really boring, why don't we go back first?"

The joy that flashed in the mandarin duck's eyes was keenly captured by Duanyue, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"It's okay, I'll be sleepy after drinking some wine." She raised her hand and gently held her chin, like a drunken beauty, and anyone who saw it felt extremely charming in front of her. Duanyue glanced at her wine glass, which was full from the beginning and had never descended, but she was afraid that she was drunk.

She took Duanyue's hand and walked towards the tent. As we walked away, the silk and bamboo wind music on the banquet slowly disappeared, replaced by the chirping of insects and the chirping of leaves in the wild grass and trees. The galaxy in the sky was directly connected to the edge, and the purple, blue, and white light flickered, and at first glance, I thought it was a colorful and translucent jade stone hanging in the air.

"I'll take you in." Duanyue couldn't help but put on the waist of the mandarin duck and carried her into the tent. The mandarin duck's eyes widened, looking overwhelmed. She could only thank Duanyue in a shy soft voice.

Duanyue didn't mean to drink, she entered the account in the name of sending mandarin ducks, but for a reason. Her gaze turned to the plate of seasonal fruits, the white paper that was still there during the day, but now it was silent, as if the plate was like that.

"You've drunk a lot too, go back and rest early." The mandarin duck urged softly, as if it had the taste of an eviction order.

Duanyue then smiled at her. "You go to bed early, it's almost time!" I don't know if she did it intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly when she mentioned "Hai Shi", the mandarin duck's expression was very calm, and she couldn't see any clues. Duanyue has no reason to stay any longer, so she can only say goodbye.

But although she said goodbye, she did not return to her tent. At this moment, Duanyue is completely drunk, and his brain is extremely sober. She crept to the lake behind the woods, found a bush and hid behind. The curiosity in her heart drove her to come here, and although she knew that it was not good, she still couldn't beat herself.

The mosquitoes in the forest buzzed in her ears, and the itchy Duanyue scratched her ears and cheeks. A black shadow walked slowly in the moonlight, stepping on the dead branches and leaves, making an exceptionally crisp sound. Duanyue immediately stopped daring to move, and stared at the figure by the lake with her eyes firmly fixed.

Through the moonlight, Duanyue saw the man's face clearly. It was a man with a fair and clean face and gentle eyes, wasn't this Meng Tao? Duanyue hurriedly covered her mouth to prevent her from shouting.

In her memory, Meng Tao and Mandarin Duck didn't seem to have much contact, and the situation when the two were able to meet was nothing more than Duanyue taking Mandarin Duck to play with them. In this way, is he still the matchmaker of the two? Although he has achieved a good thing, in all fairness, Duanyue does not feel happy. Both of them hid from themselves, and they were inevitably indifferent.

He stood by the lake and waited, seemingly very uneasy, walking back and forth, his eyes looking at the path leading here from time to time, and a little wind and grass could make Meng Tao's expression move. I didn't know how long it had been, and I didn't see the mandarin duck. Could it be that she missed the appointment? But Meng Tao looked like he couldn't wait.

But at this time, someone else came. Duanyue's eyes were sharp, and she saw a figure walking diagonally in front of her, and she was about to walk towards the lake. Duanyue gritted her teeth and immediately pulled him into the small bush where she was hiding. In case he exclaimed, Duanyue immediately covered his mouth and made a "shh

It's just such a coincidence, the person who came over turned out to be Yan Xinghui. I don't know where Duanyue got so much strength to knock him to the ground, and the broken leaves of dirt stuck to his back.

"Woooooooooooo Yan Xinghui let out a dissatisfied whimper, Duan Yue hurriedly glared at him, and motioned to Meng Tao by the lake, and he became honest. Fortunately, Meng Tao's mind was not here, and he probably only thought it was a rumor or a small animal.

Duanyue lowered her voice and whispered to Yan Xinghui. "Shhhh Don't make a sound! Seeing Yan Xinghui nodding puzzled, she let go of her hand with confidence. She pointed to Na Meng Tao before explaining. "I stole a letter written by Brother Chen to Mandarin Mandarin Duck today, asking her to come to the lake, I think there are probably some signs."

"That's it?" Yan Xinghui snorted coldly. "Quickly release me, I'm going to make it convenient."

However, Duanyue turned a deaf ear, she glared at Yan Xing viciously, but she didn't let go. "You just sit here honestly, and it's all about sound when you move."

"Is that a mandarin duck?" Yan Xinghui suddenly pointed to the distance, and Duanyue immediately turned her head to look, she was really a graceful woman. For the sake of the tryst, the mandarin duck even dressed up carefully, under the vast moonlight, a pair, is not beautiful.

"Why did the Seventh Prince invite the Mandarin Duck out......" She lowered her head shyly, twisted her skirt uneasily with her hands, and dared to look at the second child in front of her.

The moment Meng Tao saw the mandarin duck, the sadness on his face dissipated, like the brilliance of the color queen after the rain. He walked in front of the mandarin duck in two steps, even if Duanyue was so far away, he could feel the feelings between the two. He tried hard to hold back his emotions, and said to the mandarin duck with a spring breeze on his face: "You are here." ”

"The Seventh Prince has waited for a long time, it's warm and cold, don't be frozen." She raised her hand worriedly and straightened her neckline for Meng Tao, but Meng Tao grabbed her hand, and Duanyue's face was hot when she saw it.

"Don't you think it's sour?" Yan Xinghui frowned, not wanting to look at it more.

Duanyue watched it with relish. "I just don't understand when these two people looked at each other."

"When you don't know, of course." His tone was flat.

The two on the other side were still tired of crookedness. The mandarin duck mustered up enough courage before he spoke out in disgust. "Although my dad has dropped the matchmaker, I still don't feel at ease. When will you come to my house to propose? ”

Meng Tao listened but his face was embarrassed, and he shook his head. "Children of the royal family, marriage is never up to you. Although I opened my mouth to my mother intentionally or unintentionally, she still did not let go. He sighed to himself, and his tone was much lower. You know, my mother came through a miserable situation, and she wanted me to marry a woman of a prominent family, or a princess of another country. I'm ......."

"Does Concubine Shu think that my identity as the daughter of Zhongshu is not enough to match you?" Mandarin Yuan's tone suddenly became cold, and she pulled out the hand held by Meng Tao, and her face became ugly. "You keep saying that you will be good to me for the rest of your life, but now you can't even give me a title?"

She looked at Meng Tao with teary eyes, with a crying voice, even Duanyue felt distressed when she heard it. "Meng Tao, I'm not a small-hearted person, I also understand the three teachings and nine rules, I don't want you to be embarrassed. If you treat me sincerely, even if you are a concubine, I don't care about it. ”

"Nope! I won't do you that badly! Meng Tao immediately expressed his mind. He took the mandarin duck into his arms, and it was a picture of deep affection.

Mandarin Yuan tactfully pushed Meng Chen. "It's not early, I'm afraid that people will find out, tell Satsuki. I don't know how to talk to her yet. She bit her lower lip, her face tangled. I'm afraid that Xiaoyue will find out, she will make trouble in the palace, and if you give me a name, then you will not be able to clean it up. ”

"Hmm," Meng Tao rubbed his chin against the mandarin mandarin's hair, enjoying the moment very much. "Don't talk to her just yet."

"Then I'll go first." The mandarin duck raised her eyes and looked at Meng Tao with reluctance. Meng Tao just hugged her and kept the faint fruity fragrance on her body in his heart. Seeing the beautiful woman go away, my heart also left with her.
