Chapter 121: Tanabata
It's July in a blink of an eye, and Tao Ge has been in the palace for a few days.
Today is Qixi Festival, and after nightfall, Tao Ge took Chun'er to the royal river to put lanterns to pray for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl.
And Yuxiu, as the head of the Yilan Palace, still follows behind Tao Ge.
Chun'er was holding the lotus lantern, and when she saw Tao Ge holding a pen and was about to write a message on a small note, she naughtily leaned her face over, and was noticed by Tao Ge, so she smiled at her.
Tao Ge secretly glanced at Yuxiu behind him, and said to Chun'er with a smile: "Turn around, don't look at it."
Chun'er knew that she was pointing at Sang and scolding Huai, so she also cooperated with her, pursed her mouth and pretended to be aggrieved, muttering, "Oh," and then turned away.
Tao Ge just picked up the pen, Yu Xiu really stretched her neck to peek, Tao Ge naturally had already noticed, so she stopped and pretended to think, Yu Xiu's neck was sore, but she still insisted, Tao Ge wrote a poem on the paper after a long time, Yu Xiu saw what was written on the paper, and immediately regretted Fang Cai's move.
What Tao Ge wrote was all inconsequential things, and it was not worth her peeking at at all.
After Tao Ge finished writing, he sneered silently, then turned his head to look at Chun'er and said, "Okay."
When Chun'er heard this, she immediately turned around and asked, "What did the girl write?"
Tao Ge deliberately said angrily: "I won't tell you, it's a secret."
Chun'er pretended to be gloomy, and Tao Ge reached out to her, and she handed her the lotus lantern, and Tao Ge folded the small note and placed it on the lotus lantern and pressed it under the candle.
Then she pushed the lotus lantern into the water, and put her hand into the water and paddled a few times, until the lotus lantern floated a little farther, she got up, Chun'er and Yuxiu helped her together, and the three of them left together.
Tao Ge didn't know what to do, Sima Yao had a full view, and Sima Yao was standing with Zhou Lu on the other side of the Yuhe River at that time.
Sima Yao looked at Tao Ge walking farther and farther, and it happened that the lotus lantern floated to the opposite bank, Zhou Lu squatted down when he saw the situation, put his hand into the water, paddled vigorously, and finally reached the lotus lantern, he got up and took out the note, and then called: "Your Majesty."
Sima Yao came back to his senses when he heard this, Zhou Lu handed the note to him, he took the note, turned around and opened it to see that what was written on Fang Zhi's paper was just a poem, not something that could not be seen.
"Nanfeng knows what I mean, blowing a dream to Xizhou," he read, smiling from the heart, Zhou Lu was surprised to see him like this, as if he had not seen His Majesty smile like this for a long time.
He secretly approached him, and when he saw what was written on the paper, he teased: "Eh, Your Majesty, Xiao Meiren is Sichun?"
Sima Yao looked back when he heard this, and gave him a blank look, Zhou Lu hurriedly shut up and didn't say anything, Sima Yao asked, "Where does this imperial river go?"
Zhou Lu said without thinking: "This imperial river is connected to the water of the Qinhuai River, and it also flows to the Qinhuai River."
Sima Yao folded the note and handed it to him, saying, "Put it back."
Zhou Lu agreed, but when he saw Sima Yao say that, he moved away, and he was going to the south, so he hurriedly asked, "Eh, Your Majesty, where are you going?" Zhaoyang Hall is in the north! ”
Sima Yao didn't look back, but said, "Go to Yilan Palace."
"Yilan Palace?" Zhou Lu was suspicious, and said to himself: "Didn't we say that we would go to Zhaoyang Palace......
After he said that, he quickly put the note back, put the lotus lantern into the water, and then stroked a few times in the water, and saw that the lotus lantern floated down with the water, so he stood up and hurriedly chased towards the Yilan Palace.
After chasing Sima Yao, he said: "Your Majesty, you said at first that you were going to Zhaoyang Palace, and the slave maid has passed the word to Zhaoyang Palace, if you don't go, then Chen Shuyuan's place, the slave and maid are not easy to explain......"
Sima Yaoyun said lightly: "Then there is no need to explain."
Zhou Lu said again: "But ......"
Without waiting for him to speak, Sima Yao stopped and turned to look at him, and asked expressionlessly, "Zhou Lu, are you my person or a woman?"
Zhou Lu was stunned, and finally stopped saying anything.
At that time, Tao Ge had just returned to the Yilan Palace, and sat on a stool with Chun'er face to face and chatted.
Tao Ge untied the red rope tied to his wrist and said, "Chun'er, you said last time that the red rope you wore during the Dragon Boat Festival should be thrown away on the night of Qixi to build a magpie bridge?" But really?"
Chun'er nodded and said, "It's true, when the servant was a child, the family did this."
"Did the red rope really give the magpie a title?"
Chun'er thought for a moment and said, "Hmm...... The maid had never seen a magpie walk on a red rope, but her mother had seen it with her own eyes when she was alive. ”
Tao Ge was skeptical and asked, "Where to throw it?"
Chun'er stretched out her hand and pointed to the roof and said, "Throw it on the roof."
Tao Ge stood up at this time, Chun'er saw the situation, and hurriedly stood up, walked in front of her and opened the door, but saw Sima Yao and Zhou Lu standing outside the door.
She was slightly stunned and wondered, "Your Majesty?"
At this time, Tao Ge stood on the side behind Chun'er, and when he saw Sima Yao, he was also quite stunned, so he walked out past Chun'er, and said to him slightly: "Your Majesty."
Sima Yao glanced at her, then looked at Chun'er and asked, "What's your name?"
Chun'er was slightly stunned, "Back to Your Majesty, the slave and maid cherish the spring." ”
"Where are you from?" Sima Yao heard Chun'er talk about the customs of his hometown, so he asked.
Chun'er replied: "The slave maid is from Hailing County, Jiangbei, and Yandu County."
Sima Yao nodded and said, "Yandu is a good place."
After saying that, he looked at Tao Ge and stretched out his hand to her, Tao Ge looked at him, his face was full of puzzlement, Sima Yao shook his hand again, but he didn't speak, Tao Ge still seemed to understand, guessing whether he wanted the red rope in her hand, so he also stretched out his hand to him, and shook the red rope in front of his eyes twice.
In fact, I thought to myself: What kind of dumb riddle are you talking about......
And Sima Yao also secretly thought: Yes, it's the red rope, what are you shaking, you give it to me......
Seeing that he didn't speak, nodded or shook his head, Tao Ge thought that he didn't mean that, so he withdrew the red rope again, Sima Yao saw her like this, immediately frowned, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the red rope she was holding in the palm of his hand.
Tao Ge was frightened by his sudden move, and looked at him in a daze, and he showed a gentle smile to her, and said, "You are short, I will help you throw it."
Tao Ge looked at him blankly when he heard this.
With that, he turned around and walked out of the corridor, looked up at the roof, and threw the red rope up without hesitation.
He walked forward, as if he was going to pick up the red rope, but he stopped after taking a step, turned around and walked to the same place, giving Zhou Lu a look, Zhou Lu went to pick up the red rope and handed it to him, and he threw it again.
This time, the red rope landed on the roof safely.
Sima Yao saw it with his own eyes, and then walked towards Tao Ge again, staring at her affectionately, Tao Ge also looked at him, Sima Yao suddenly raised his hand, and was about to caress her cheek, but she didn't know that she had just touched her cheek, but she turned her head to dodge.
Sima Yao was slightly stunned and sneered: "Do you want to welcome or refuse?"
Tao Ge bowed his head slightly and said nothing, and Sima Yao said again: "Haven't you always wanted to sleep?" I give you this opportunity. ”
Tao Gexiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, when did she think about going to bed.
Seeing that she was silent, Sima Yao said, "I'm tired."
After saying that, he walked past her into the house, and Tao Ge was still standing outside the door, bowing her head slightly, she clearly didn't want to go in.
Chun'er saw Sima Yao sitting on the bed, and hurriedly whispered to Tao Ge: "Girl, Your Majesty is going to call you to bed?"
Tao Ge glanced back into the room, and then went in with trepidation. (To be continued.) )
