49. Close the distance
Xiao Hanyu was disturbed by his soft tone.
And this pitiful expression...... What should I do? She suddenly remembered Xiaobai from the house next door when she was a child!
By the way, Xiaobai is a soft and cute ...... Puppy. Its favorite thing to do is to happily pounce on Xiao Hanyu's lap and spread joy.
Forgive her for associating the dignified Ninety-Five with a puppy.
She just wanted to prove one thing: she relented and wavered.
And...... And, what was he talking about...... "I'm not really good at chasing girls", it's like ...... He was chasing her......
To tell the truth, she had never thought of such a drama as "the domineering emperor fell in love with me" before - first because she would never be lucky enough to see the face of heaven in this life, and then because she witnessed with her own eyes that her father, who was sitting on the beauty of the country, was a big radish with rain and dew.
She knows that most of the kings of all dynasties have three palaces and six courtyards and countless concubines, so maybe an emperor will like you for a while, but it is difficult to like you for a lifetime.
The red face is not old and the grace is broken first - such a thing is not uncommon in the harems of all dynasties and generations.
So, is the man in front of her who took the initiative to tell her different from them?
She didn't know the answer, but after all, she couldn't stand his sincere eyes.
She didn't dare to agree to him, and she couldn't refuse him lightly, so she could only ......
"Your Majesty, actually...... I don't know how to accept other people's pursuits. The girl in the prime of her life scratched her head regardless of her image, showing a little embarrassment, "So...... Let's just go with the flow, okay? ”
With that, she had wrinkled her little face and met the man's slightly stunned gaze.
Li Wuxian suddenly returned to his soul.
His girl is really different.
It is true that if it were another woman, in this situation, I am afraid that she would either be shy and twisted, or her heart would be full of joy, where would she be like her, embarrassed to grab her hair, and honestly confess to him, saying that she is not very affectionate and lovely?
He curled the corners of his lips and looked deeply into her clear eyes.
"Okay."
Since the day of the fight, the two have gotten along like this. Li Wujian would sometimes take Xiao Hanyu's plain hand, whisper a few words to her, and sometimes accompany her to play with the lord of Xiangming, and the scene fell in the eyes of others, as if it was a harmonious family. Gradually, the two of them invisibly narrowed the distance, so that in the face of the man's initiative to hold the big hand, Xiao Hanyu was already accustomed to it.
Regarding the little girl's adaptability, Li Wujian said that he was very good and satisfied. No, on this day in late December, the sun was warm, he took Xiao Hanyu's hand and walked in the imperial garden, and asked her if she had to celebrate the New Year with her father when she was in Dongzan before.
"My father prefers to be with his concubines, so we princesses, especially those like me who are not close to him, usually retire in a hurry."
“……”
The little girl said matter-of-factly, listening to it with mixed tastes.
She is not favored, he knows this, but he still feels a little uncomfortable when he hears her face uncover her "scars" as usual today.
The strength in his hand suddenly increased, he clenched her soft, and said softly: "This year, you accompany me to the palace banquet, but you have to save it until the end." ”
Xiao Hanyu was stunned for a moment when she heard this, until she found that the man's eyes were full of smiles, and she suddenly understood something, turned her face away, and responded vaguely.
The woman who agreed in this way did not expect that accompanying the king of a country to the night banquet on the Chinese New Year's Eve as a concubine would be such an exhausting task.
Because she was the only concubine of the emperor so far, almost all the ministers focused their eyes on her. After everyone toasted Li Wuji, they didn't forget to bring her with them, and they said the auspicious words with a smile. As for her, taking into account each other's faces and this occasion, she had to smile just right, and thanked them one by one, so that she couldn't support it halfway, and couldn't help but want to raise her hand to pull the smiling face.
Fortunately, the young emperor saw her discomfort and found a suitable time to block all kinds of greetings and flattery from civil and military officials, and finally relieved the woman beside him.
The emperor's jade concubine was comfortable, but the civil and military officials muttered in their hearts: Why did the emperor suddenly not allow them to toast? Why didn't you suddenly let them get close to the Jade Princess? The point is, why are those in front of you okay?
The big guy began to secretly speculate about the holy will of the king of a country, but he didn't know that the emperor was just reluctant to let his concubine be tired.
However, no matter what, the emperor didn't allow them to do this, and they had no choice but to comply with the will of the saint, drink wine when they should drink, and eat vegetables when they should eat.
Singing and dancing, drinking three rounds. Xiao Hanyu was not too interested in such scenes, but fortunately, the performances of Shu were quite new to her, so from time to time, they could still attract her attention. Li Wujian turned his head and saw that her eyebrows were shining and her face was radiant, and he said in his heart that he had finally not wasted his thoughts.
Well, if you want to be rewarded by the Ministry of Rites, you can give more awards this year.
After more than an hour, the banquet was coming to an end, and Li Wujian keenly noticed that because there was no more performance arranged later, the little girl soon became so bored that she took the initiative to peel fruit for him to eat.
Although he enjoyed it a lot, he couldn't bear to let her spend nothing with him when he saw that the little girl even yawned twice. Anyway, the time was almost up, so he got up and greeted the ministers, and then led the little girl who was excited at the time of Dengshi, and left unhurriedly.
As soon as he retreated from the field, Xiao Hanyu came to his senses, and he almost couldn't hold it back, and he wanted to stretch his waist in front of Li Wuji. Thanks to her, she still remembered that it was not in the Dongzan Palace that no one was paying attention to her, but as soon as her two arms stretched out, she shrank back under the man's slightly surprised gaze.
"So tired?" Li Wujian teased her and asked her.
"It's okay...... "This isn't a bully, right......
The man in bright yellow smiled.
"It seems that you are really not suitable for such an occasion."
Xiao Hanyu smiled embarrassedly, just as Liuli and the others sent the county lord of Xiangming over. When the girl in the prime of her life heard the crisp "sister", she immediately cheered up, turned around and squatted down, and picked up the little guy who was running towards her in a hurry.
When Fang Cai was at the table, it was inconvenient for him and Li Wujian to take Xiao Xiangxiang with him, so he had to put the little guy in sight and quietly tease her with his eyes and gestures. Now it's okay, she retreats from everyone's eyes, and she can play with the cute little Xiangxiang again.
"Let's go, my sister will take you to see the fireworks."
She hugged the little guy and walked forward excitedly, and her two smiling faces looked extraordinarily bright against the backdrop of the lights. Li Wujian looked at the big and small ones from a close distance, and the corners of his lips curled up in silence.
Tonight will be the best Chinese New Year's Eve he has ever spent.
