Chapter Eighty-Four: Seeing the Rising Sun Again Is No Longer What It Used To Be
Xi Cui lowered his head and could only see Nangong Yufeng's slowly moving soap boots, they came over step by step, walked to his side without stopping, and walked past himself and walked behind him. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Xi Cui sighed, and finally he gave up, but she didn't complain, he just made a choice that anyone would make.
But she was so immersed in her own deep loss that she didn't notice that the soap boots behind her had already turned to stand behind her.
Suddenly, a pair of warm big hands lightly rested on her shoulders, and Nangong Yufeng's voice came from behind her, "Now it seems that I don't dare to stand by your side, because I am not qualified." But I am willing to stand behind you all the time, and no matter what you do, I only have to do one thing well, and that is to protect my woman. β
Xi Cui was obviously smiling, but she didn't know why the tears were flowing, for so many years, the words she heard had always been "Xi Cui, what do I need you to do." "Xi Cui, what should you do, how can you ......" This is the first time she has heard someone say that she will stand behind her to protect herself, such a simple word of encouragement and comfort, but let the fortress she has built up for so many years collapse in an instant, she cried unscrupulously like a child again, and turned around and got into Nangong Yufeng's arms.
Xi Cui cried and cried and fell asleep, and she didn't know when Nangong Yufeng left. Duan San, on the other hand, remained silent about this matter, obviously watching in the dark, but he insisted on pretending not to know anything.
The next day, all the people who Nangong Yufeng arranged to monitor the return of the twilight moon outside disappeared, and Huanhuan muttered two sentences, and the others took it for granted.
Regarding Nangong Yufeng's next silence, there is no exact news from Dusk Yuegui's side, but there are a few words from Hanyan's side, saying that Nangong Yufeng has almost become a frequent visitor to Ruyi Pavilion recently, but it is also strange that he is not alone every time he does not ask the girl to accompany him, but he is just drinking alone in a daze.
In addition, in addition to Nangong Yufeng, there is also a guest in Ruyi Pavilion who behaves strangely, and this person is this year's new champion Qi Yu. Although Qi Yu never asked the girl to accompany him, he was different from Nangong Yufeng, he rarely drank alcohol, and he poured his own tea.
Duan San asked Xi Cui if he wanted him to talk to them, Xi Cui shook his head, these things have been acceptable to the two of them recently, and it is best for them to figure it out by themselves at this time.
knew that Nangong Yufeng would definitely need to be abnormal for a few days, although he agreed to Xi Cui that night, but how much hot-headed impulse there was in the agreement at that time is unknown, as long as he calms down alone, he will first be frightened by his own absurdity. At this time, it is impossible to tell whether he regrets or complains, after all, on the one hand, he has held on to the belief he has held for many years, and on the other hand, he has committed to himself.
But no matter what his final decision was, there was at least one beautiful night between them to remember, and she was content......
On Xi Cui's side, she always thought that Nangong Yufeng was frightened by what she told him that night, but she didn't know that there was something else that really shocked Nangong Yufeng.
The words were divided into two sides, and there was a woman who had to be mentioned at this time, and this woman was Princess Chaoyang.
Since her marriage agreement with Lao Keqin came down, she has been by the Queen Mother's side, one is to keep filial piety for the emperor and her mother, and the other is to fulfill filial piety for the Queen Mother, these two excuses allowed her to delay the marriage again and again. It wasn't until Princess Yongan met the Queen Mother two days ago that Princess Chaoyang suddenly figured it out. It's just that she proposed to hold an engagement wedding first, and her sibling brother Zhou Qiyu, the third prince, must attend. The auspicious day is set on the third day of the next month.
At this time, Princess Chaoyang, who was supposed to live in a simple place and wait to be married, suddenly left the palace, and what was even more embarrassing was that the princess of Chaoyang drove anywhere and went directly to the twilight moon.
The princess drove to the crowd and knelt down to greet them.
Xi Cui led the kneeling in front of the shadow wall in the main entrance, she was still in the filial piety period and could not go out, and the princess was about to enter the door for a happy event.
But she kept kneeling but never heard the movement of the princess, thinking that she had some friendship with Princess Chaoyang before, so she looked up tentatively.
Who knew that it was a pair of piercing eyes.
The morning sun at this time is like the last time I saw it! Such a rising sun reminded her of the queen mother who appeared in the Wang family on Wang Shaoju's birthday. It gives people the feeling that in addition to majesty, it is also majestic, a majesty that people dare not look at directly.
I saw that she was wearing a silver fox fur, wearing a bright yellow princess court dress, a golden phoenix tail waist, wide sleeves inlaid with silver threads swaying in the wind, the bright red Kodan jade fingers were even more white as jade, and the half-inch-wide ruby gold-inlaid bracelet at the wrist was particularly conspicuous in the sun.
The hairstyle is a well-combed blue cloud bun, the ruby head of the golden phoenix spreads its wings and shines in the sun, and the colorful phoenix steps shake and embellish the eyebrows and hair, it is really an incomparable royal style, rich and invincible!
And what touched Xi Cui's heart the most was the eyes that were still cast at him, this kind of look Xi Cui was not unfamiliar, which was full of bitter anger, like a sharp arrow on a full longbow, which could burst out at any time. But why do you see such eyes from the eyes of the rising sun, the goal is still yourself?
"Is it really flying on the branches, and there are no basic rules?" Chaoyang didn't get out of the sedan chair, he stood on top of the car, holding the palace maid beside him with one hand, and looked at Xi Cui with slanted eyes, "When did our Great Xia country have such a rule?" The car that greeted the princess actually stayed at home? β
Xi Cui hurriedly put her head on the ground and asked for sin, "The princess forgives her sins, the folk girl is now filial piety, and she really doesn't dare to get close to the princess's daughter's body because of the excessive turbidity, and she definitely doesn't mean to snub the princess in terms of etiquette." β
"You're still so sharp-toothed!" Chaoyang stepped on the back of the accompanying eunuch and got out of the car, climbed the stairs, and the golden embroidered shoes stopped in front of Xi Cui, and the bright yellow skirt swept Xi Cui's long hair on the ground from time to time. "Well, it's really filial piety, and even the clothes are so plain. But how did I hear that you are now the person who was given the emperor's royal pen to marry, such a gift should be a great joy for a person of your status, right? But how can I not see that you are grateful for this? Isn't it a silent protest? β
The tip of Xi Cui's nose almost touched the ground, and she could even smell the dust blown by her own breath, and she could hear the sound of her heartbeat beating like a drum. Although I don't know why Chaoyang did this, she buttoned down such a hat, obviously wanting to kill herself.
Xi Cui hurriedly kowtowed, her forehead knocked on the floor tiles, and the dust in the cracks kept turning out and falling, but she didn't care about them getting on her face and hands, she only cared about explaining, "The emperor's grace is immense, and the people's daughter is grateful." Although the folk girl is rude, she also knows that the lantern is tied to the banquet and the neighbors look at the palace to bow down to thank the emperor, but the filial piety of her parents and relatives has not passed, and the folk girl really can't. It is definitely not that he is dissatisfied with the emperor's marriage, and he hopes that the princess will explain a thing or two in front of the saint, and he must not make the emperor think that the daughter of the people is disrespectful. The women of the people will be grateful......"
"Speaking of which, you will only use such an excuse and ask this palace to intercede for you, but have you ever thought about what kind of situation your actions want to put in this palace?" Chaoyang looked down at Xi Cui and played with the bracelet in his hand casually, "You keep filial piety and wear plain clothes, stay at home, and even the emperor's marriage can be ignored." But this palace also has filial piety, but unfortunately this palace is also a person who was given marriage by the emperor, but look at this palace......" She stretched out her hands, turned in a circle, her skirt flew, Xi Cui felt a cool breeze blowing behind her head, but her body was already sweating.
Princess Chaoyang stopped, squatted down, stretched out two fingers to lift Xi Cui's chin, forced her to look at herself, and her eyes met, Xi Cui clearly saw that her eyes were full of fog, but in the blink of an eye, the layer of fog disappeared cleanly, replaced by a pair of desperate black eyes. Princess Chaoyang's red lips rose slightly, "Xi Cui, are you foiling me?" Why are you so lowly in your status? What are you better than me? Obviously, you and I are in such a similar situation, and I am even more noble than you, but you can do what I can't! And I've fallen to the point of being jealous of you! Do you know that I feel ashamed of myself just thinking of you, and the shame is not that I am jealous, but that I am jealous of someone like you! β
Xi Cui didn't dare to answer, she said a pun. Xi Cui couldn't tell what she was referring to. It is that they also have both parents who died and their siblings are separated, but Xi Cui can justifiably keep filial piety, but she can't; Or do they all like Nangong Yufeng, but Nangong Yufeng has become Xi Cui's fiancΓ©? But she couldn't respond to any of them. First, she didn't believe that the once high-spirited Chaoyang would suddenly change, and second, the misery that Chaoyang experienced was enough, and she couldn't make it worse!
Xi Cui's silence made Chaoyang's face even more hideous, she suddenly pinched Xi Cui's chin with her backhand, and the strength in her hand also increased a lot, "What kind of eyes are you?" Sympathize with me? Do you deserve it too? β
As if remembering something, Chaoyang suddenly threw Xi Cui to the ground, while she herself stood up with the support of the palace maid, took the white handkerchief and wiped her hands, and threw the handkerchief on Xi Cui, "I suddenly thought of a way to make myself more comfortable." You get up first, now your identity is different, go back and let Nangong Yufeng know that it's time to make a fuss again......"
Xi Cui slowly got up, and the people behind her also stood up.
Duan San's face had already turned black into an iron pot, Xi Cui couldn't help but be shocked, fortunately, this person didn't run out on impulse just now, otherwise things would be even more out of control.
Duan San's eyes were staring at the rising sun, eager to drill a few holes in her face. If it hadn't been for Huan Xi pulling him just now, he would have had a seizure.
"I look bad luck in your yard, so I won't go in." As he spoke, he walked back, stopped when he passed by Xi Cui, and beckoned to the palace maid behind him, who handed over a gilded post with both hands. Chaoyang gently picked up the post with two fingers, and smashed it into Xi Cui's face, "This is my engagement post, you dress me up to attend!" β
Engaged? Don't you know that it will be on the third day of the next month? How can this be?
Xi Cui was about to open his mouth to refuse, but he felt someone pull his sleeve, and when he looked back, it was Xiao Yi.
Seeing Xiao Yi, Xi Cui seemed to see hope, Princess Chaoyang's actions were too incomprehensible.
But Xiao Yi sold Guan Zi at this time, and said to Xi Cui with a thief smile, "This person is a very important test with you, and you will naturally understand it when the time comes." β
Hearing him say this, Xi Cui couldn't wait for a big-eared scraper to pull it up, this bear child has been getting more and more disagreeable recently. He didn't talk about Nangong Yufeng's affairs, but now he actually came to watch this matter, so what use did he want? Just ask the old monk of Huineng to take it away!
Sending Princess Chaoyang to the door, standing in front of the threshold, Xi Cui hesitated. After crossing this threshold, she means that she is not only filial piety, but if she stays in it, Chaoyang will definitely not give up. Just when she hesitated, her body was pulled, and her upper body leaned towards the door, but her toes didn't have time to lift up, hooked on the threshold, and saw that she was about to fall straight out.
Xi Cui instinctively stretched out her hand, but found that she couldn't. Because the palace maid standing beside her didn't know what she had done to her, her arms couldn't be lifted at all.
And Duan San was two or three people away from her, because since he got up, he had been closely guarded by Huan Huanxi in a special way because of his inappropriate eyes, and his mind was not on Xi Cui's side.
The ground was getting closer and closer to her face, and Xi Cui knew that as long as she opened her mouth to shout, Duan San would definitely make a move, and with his skills, maybe it was the Yu-Gi-Oh who saved herself. But she couldn't shout, because she knew that it was not easy for Huan Huanxi to suppress Duan San's temper until now, if she summoned Duan San at this time and he would inevitably hurt the palace maid beside her, then today's matter could not be trivialized. Besides, if she falls like this, if she really hurts her face, it may not be a bad thing, and she just used this as an excuse not to see the engagement.
Thinking of this, Xi Cui simply closed his eyes and fell from his body.
But the expected pain didn't happen because of this, and I felt as if something was lying across my waist. Xi Cui opened his eyes, but he was facing Chaoyang's smiling face, "I have to say that your bitter trick is really good, if you fall like this, I'm afraid your little face won't be better for three or five months, if you really succeed, Nangong Yufeng can still spare me?" Maybe my engagement is going to be tossed by him, and you don't have to go out of the house as a matter of course, right? Kill two birds with one stone! Xi Cui, I really underestimate you, you can be so ruthless to yourself! But don't be a fool for me! Listen, I personally sent you the post, if you don't go, there is a way. However, Xi Yunting is also going! β
Chaoyang actually began to laugh happily when she said this, but her smile suddenly stopped when her eyes were fixed on the face of the palace maid beside Xi Cui. Although the palace maid lowered her head, she still felt something, and her legs began to tremble and she took a few steps back.
Chaoyang snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the door, and the palace maid hurriedly followed.
Xi Cui looked down at the threshold under her feet, Chaoyang knew very well where her weakness was. If Yun Ting will go, she must go, Yun Ting has never been to that kind of occasion alone, she needs her.
Chaoyang stood in front of the car, looked back at Xi Cui raised her feet and stepped out of the threshold, her hands clasped under the wide sleeves, and suddenly her left hand grabbed the Kodan on the little finger of her right hand, only to hear a slight sound, and the nails of her little thumb were broken alive......
She really can't let go of Yun Ting, for Yun Ting, she knows that it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire!
Chaoyang didn't feel the pain, and her eyes kept chasing Xi Cui's feet. Xi Cui, you are better than me in this alone, how can you make me unwilling? However, now it seems that the two of us are destined to go to the same end, but this is just the beginning, you must not scruple too much to linger, or I will wait for you at the return point?
Xi Cui went down the stairs, stood still in front of the rising sun, respectfully blessed body, "Congratulations to the princess......"
Chaoyang was just about to speak, when a figure broke into her sight, she was almost caught off guard. But she still quickly changed the tone of her speech to Xi Cui, her smile became a little more approachable, and she bent down to help Xi Cui, "Why are you doing this?" I didn't say anything...... Oops......" After screaming, Princess Chaoyang first had an overly frightened expression, and then quickly hid her right hand, but it achieved a pretty good effect of wanting to cover up. A few attendants around her hurriedly came up with a concerned face, and soon someone found the broken nail of her right little thumb, and the red blood stains were particularly shocking in the white jade-like palm.
A eunuch pointed at Xi Cui with an angry face, and shouted in a male duck voice, "Good you Xi Cui! It's a shame that our princess rescued you just now, but now you will take revenge! Seeing that our family returned to the palace to meet the saint, we must report today's events truthfully, how can the princess Jinzhi and Jade Leaf be injured by a cheap maid of yours! β
"Bastard! Bengong hasn't spoken yet, where is your turn to be a minion and a dog! Chaoyang stopped the eunuch from being angry, and turned to Xi Cui and smiled, "Today's incident must be that you misunderstood me, but no matter what, you have to take care of your temperament, today is the good thing that hurts me, I will naturally help you get through." But in the future, if you really enter the Nangong family, you will have to deal with the emperor's relatives and relatives, if you are still so careless, what if you implicate the entire Nangong family? β
Xi Cui didn't understand what was going on at all, and the whole person was confused.
But soon she figured it out.
Because Nangong Yufeng was already standing beside her, he pulled her behind him and arched his hand to Chaoyang, "In this case, Nangong Yufeng has thanked the princess here!" β
Oh...... I see. The feeling is to play virtuous and generous in front of Nangong Yufeng with his own hands. It seems that he still underestimated the rising sun. Xi Cui said in her heart, too, in an environment like the royal family, how could she be a simple character? However, this ability to adapt to changes really makes Xi Cui sigh to himself......
But what does Nangong Yufeng mean by this? Did he believe what Chaoyang said? In his eyes, is she Xi Cui such an ignorant woman who is short-minded and ignorant of the overall situation? He actually thanked her? (To be continued.) )
