Chapter 4 In the Flowers
Ask for recommendations, ask for collections.
"Ma'am, here comes the medicine." Yin Meng carefully held a bowl of steaming potion and slowly walked towards Xi Fei, "Madam, I reduced the amount of medicine today, so you won't be as uncomfortable as you were that day." ”
Xi Fei took the medicine with a smile, put him on the stone table in front of her, picked up the spoon and stirred, looked at the brown potion in the bowl, smelled the pungent smell of the medicine, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, staring at the ripples of the bowl of the potion, she didn't know what she was thinking, after a while, Yin Meng reminded: "Madam, the medicine is going to be cold, drink it quickly." ”
After drinking the medicine, her mouth was filled with bitterness, Xi Fei didn't seem to know, she looked at the peach blossoms in front of her with a smile, smelled the faint fragrance of peach blossoms in the wind, closed her eyes, and opened them because the words full of kingly spirit came leisurely.
Ji Xi strode towards this side, a smile between his eyebrows, but it was difficult to hide his awe-inspiring aura that day, and he said in a brisk tone: "How is it, are you still satisfied?" ”
Xi Fei saw the person who was coming, stood up and bowed her head, and called respectfully: "See Master Hou." ”
Ji Xi quickened his pace, held her flat with both hands, and said softly: "Your body is not well, rest more, come." ”
The two sat at the stone table together, Ji Xi held Xi Fei's shoulders and let her lean on her body, an invisible force, so that Xi Fei completely trusted this husband who had met less than a day from the bottom of her heart, this arm may be her life's support, maybe he can't do it like an ordinary person, because he is a king, but he believes that he will be able to bring warmth to his wife like an ordinary person, shelter her from the wind and rain, even if it can't become an exclusive privilege, it is because he is a king.
The two of them leaned on each other and looked at the piece of pink in front of them, staring at a few peach blossoms that were blown down by the wind and drifted to the ground, Ji Xi's voice drifted and said: "Do you like it, before you got married, I heard that you like peach blossoms, and then Ben Hou ordered to transplant and plant peach trees here, just so that you can see it when you arrive." ”
After listening to Xi Hou's words, a burst of warmth arose, but thinking of all the things on the wedding night, Xi Fei was still a little dissatisfied in her heart, "Master Hou, you are really good to the concubine, the concubine is really moved, isn't all the ladies the same, it was Taolin who sent me, when Mrs. Deng came, what did you give her?" ”
Xi Hou let go of the arm that was holding her, held her face, wrinkled his handsome eyebrows, and said with a sad face, "Are you still blaming me?" ”
"How dare I, you are a gentleman, who dares to oppose what you say and do, who dares to have any objections, and I dare not dare to be a concubine with a humble status." Xi Fei pretended to be angry and turned her face away.
"You're still angry with me, okay, I have a reason, you listen to me." Ji Xi smiled
"The reason, what the reason can be, in the final analysis, is just prevarication for myself." Xi Fei still didn't turn her face, turned her back to Ji Xi, and said these words, which was purely a provocation to the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
Ji Xi didn't know whether she was really angry or fake angry, she was very flustered in her heart, ignored her disrespect, and said impatiently: "You listen to my explanation." As he spoke, he put his hands on her shoulders and turned her body around, thinking about how to comfort her who was angry, but he didn't expect to turn around and see a smiling face, and immediately reacted, reaching out and pinching her chin, "You lied to me!" It seems to be smiling, revealing a hint of playfulness.
Ji Xi hugged her into her arms again, sniffed the faint fragrance on her hair, and explained: "As you know, this Mrs. Deng is King Deng's person, to be precise, it can be said that she is King Deng's niece, I was also entangled by her that night and couldn't get out, so I ......" Concubine Xi stretched out her hand to stop Xi Hou's words, "I know, I understand you, what I said in the palace that day was just a momentary angry talk, and I didn't blame you, I know that you are already very tired, pretending in front of others all day long, and there are national affairs to worry about, Physical and mental exhaustion, I know it. As he spoke, he reached out and stroked Ji Xi's handsome but slightly tired face, and pressed his frowning brow, "Don't frown, relax a little, at least on my side you can." ”
"With this beauty, Benhou has no regrets in this life!" The expression on his face didn't know whether it was pride or happiness, proud that he had obtained such a beloved, and fortunately that such a beautiful woman finally belonged to him and was never obtained by others.
Looking at each other, all kinds of friendship flowed between them, without a single action, or a word, just smiling and looking at each other and already comprehending everything, they understood each other deeply, and then snuggled together, laughing and watching the flowers fall.
The picture seemed to be fixed at that moment, but unfortunately it was interrupted by the intermittent cough.
Xi Fei arched her body, covering her mouth with one hand, as if she was coughing with all her strength, her coughing organs were trembling, and Ji Xi on the side looked at her and couldn't do anything, "Why, I've been drinking medicine for several days, why is your illness still not getting better, whether this medicine has any effect, I will let you find a doctor to see, you just don't listen, if others say something, let them say it's okay, your body is important." As he spoke, there was a look of concern in his eyes.
Xi Fei bent over, blushed, panting, and shook her hand wordlessly, Ji Xi looked aside, fully understood what she meant, sighed helplessly, stroked her back, and smoothed her down.
A palace man came from the stone road over there, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, Mrs. Deng can't find you anywhere, she is very anxious, she is now angry in the palace, and the palace people have suffered, please Master Hou or go back quickly." ”
Ji Xi snorted coldly, "In the past few days, relying on Benhou to favor her has become more and more rampant, don't go." ”
When the slave heard this decision, she thought of the possible result of going back like this, and was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xi Hou, tears were in her eyes, and she said with a crying voice: "Hou Ye, Madam, she gave a death order, if the slave and maid can't find the Hou Ye back, the slave's life will not be guaranteed, please save the slave and the maid's life, please, Hou Ye!" As he spoke, he kept knocking on the ground, and his head was already broken and oozing blood, but Xihou didn't look at her.
Seeing this servant girl like this, Concubine Xi couldn't bear it, grabbed Ji Xi's arm, and said half-pleadingly: "Just go for a while, don't embarrass people." ”
"If I go now, it will only fuel her arrogance, and besides, how can I leave you here and ignore it, wouldn't it be the responsibility of a lost husband?"
"Isn't it the same responsibility for you to throw her over there now?" Xi Fei's words made Ji Xi speechless, seeing that he still wanted to refuse, Xi Fei stretched out her hand and took a step forward, "Go, she is King Deng's person after all, making her comfortable is equivalent to encircling King Deng, Deng Guo is a very strong backing, if he is co-opted, it will be beneficial and harmless for Xi Guo to become a big thing in the future." ”
Ji Xi frowned again, "Okay, then Ben Hou will go, and I will come to see you later." Then he glanced at the maid who was kneeling there, and snorted coldly: "Come with me, go and comfort the lady of your family." ”
