Chapter 31: The Jade Returns
Luo Rao walked to the door of King Qin's mansion, stared at the so-called "stone lion" twice, and quietly stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that she was gluttonous, she knew, and she wouldn't admit her mistake again.
She raised her head slightly, looked at the three big characters of "Qin Wangfu" on the horizontal plaque, and breathed a long sigh of relief, finally arrived.
Luo Rao hooked the corners of her mouth and showed a smile, "His Royal Highness King Qin, I've arrived." She said secretly: Qi Yan, this guy is a scoundrel, his brother asked him to return the jade pendant, but he flatly denied that he had taken the jade pendant, and the words were that it was not leaky, so that people couldn't find the slightest fault. In any case, the things of my daughter's family have to be returned, and I believe that I can definitely do it.
Looking at the solemn and solemn scale guards around her, she mustered up her courage and was about to step forward, but she was surprised to find that the door opened, and someone came and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Luo San, please hurry, please hurry." ”
It is said that he stretched out his hand and did not hit the smiling person, but Luo Rao was not happy to see this person who came, this person was the person who lured Luo An away last time and let her see King Qin in the garden. Although I knew that he was on the order of the King of Qin, I really felt very annoying to see him look proud, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, and he couldn't find it.
Luo Rao nodded and followed him into the mansion. Along the way, the mouth of the wind never stopped, and I heard him boasting about his Royal Highness everywhere, from anxiety to rescue, from Moying to rescue. He kept talking about his highness all the way, Luo Rao felt that her ears were about to become calloused, where did Qi Yan find such a ...... The old mother's guard.
"The courtier Luo Rao has seen His Royal Highness the King of Qin." Luo Rao stood five steps away from King Qin and bowed respectfully.
Qi Yan sat on the rosewood chair and nodded, motioning for Luo Rao to get up. He was wearing a mask, and he couldn't see his expression from the outside, but in fact, he was wondering why this girl was so well-behaved this time, and she even knew that she had come to her senses.
"Come here." Qi Yan straightened up, beckoned to Luo Rao, and looked at the ginseng doll five steps away from him, he frowned slightly, "How do you feel that you have become thinner." ”
When Luo Rao heard his words, she only moved two steps forward and stopped, she slowly lowered her head, took out a white handkerchief from her cuffs, and constantly pulled the corners of the handkerchief with both hands, and replied softly: "These days are really hard, I haven't rested well, lose weight...... It's also normal. ”
"Why don't you get some rest? How does the body eat? Qi Yan said with concern.
"I think too, but there's a lot going on here. Even if I don't look for trouble, I look for someone. Luo Rao let go of the handkerchief with one hand, and wiped the handkerchief next to her eye socket with the other hand. She quietly squinted at Qi Yan with one eye, and saw that he didn't react. I continued to lower my head again, feeling that my eyes were a little spicy, and the ginger juice was really tear-jerking so fast.
She raised her head, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she wanted to cry, "Your Highness, Luo Rao has something to ask for. ”
"What's the matter? Say it quickly, but who is being bullied? Qi Yan stood up, walked up to Luo Rao and asked softly, then narrowed his eyes, "Who do you say?" ”
"Not really." Luo Rao changed the corner of her handkerchief and wiped her eyes, "No one has bullied her, if there is someone, the little girl will return it herself." ”
"Actually, the little girl just wants to ask His Highness to return one thing, because that thing really can't be left with her."
"Thing, I've only received your jade pendant, but you're talking about it?"
Luo Rao's head lowered, continued to pull the handkerchief, and from time to time pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes with the handkerchief, and whispered back, "Exactly." ”
"Don't cry, or ...... Don't remember me? Qi Yan thought to herself, when she was a child, she had told her not to cry, but the little doll didn't seem to remember anything.
Luo Rao looked up at His Royal Highness King Qin with two tears in her eyes, and then shook her head timidly.
"Your Highness, Xu is little girl was too young at the time, so she didn't have an impression. For this matter, Luo Rao was really ashamed. It's just that the jade was given by a traveling Taoist, saying that bringing this piece of jade can keep me healthy, safe and smooth, and save me from disasters and stumbles, so I have always carried it and never taken it off. Although the little girl has always been suspicious of his words, she never dared to let the jade fall leave. ”
Speaking of this, Luo Rao frowned, "It wasn't until His Highness took away the jade pendant that something happened to me that I had to believe it, so ......" Luo Rao paused, and her eyelashes kept brushing up and down, like a small fan opening and closing.
"But really?" Qi Yan's deep and deep voice came out.
Luo Rao nodded, "I've been carrying it since I was a child, and I've been safe and sound, and I never thought it would be so useful." ”
Qi Yan looked at the original white and chubby ginseng doll now looks a lot thinner, and his spirit is not as good as it was then, he is really distressed, he took out the jade pendant from his arms, and looked at the material again, which seems to be no different, "The pattern of this jade is chic, I have never seen such a pattern." ”
"Maybe that's the case." He sighed, preferring to believe what he had than what he didn't. Qi Yan opened the knot of the jade pendant, bowed his head and said, then stretched out his hands to hold the rope of the jade pendant, and tied it around the back of Luo Rao's neck.
When King Qin tied the rope of the jade pendant, it was inevitable that it was too close, Luo Rao could almost feel his breathing, and when Qi Yan stretched out his hand, her fingertips inevitably did not touch Luo Rao's skin, she felt that her skin was a little hot, and her cheeks became slightly red.
"Your Highness...... I'll do it myself. ”
Luo Rao said this, but Qi Yan had already replied, "Don't worry, it's okay." ”
"Thank you, Your Highness." Luo Rao blushed and turned around and called out to Bi Zhi, "Bring the things." Bi Zhi naturally understood that she bought the jade pendant in Linlang Pavilion, so she hurriedly handed it to her young lady.
"Your Highness, this is the jade pendant that Luo Rao chose in Linlang Pavilion, and I think it is very commensurate with you. Grateful to His Royal Highness for saving her several times, Luo Rao had nothing to repay, so she could only express her gratitude. ”
Qi Yan took it from Luo Rao's hand and opened it directly, and his movements were so fast that he was even dumbfounded by the wind, because he usually took things first and checked them. If there was no problem, he could give it to His Highness, he never thought that His Highness would trust Miss Luo San so much.
King Qin looked at the jade pendant in the box and felt very fond of it, the red surging in the shiny jade seemed to burst out of vitality. The red color in the jade, as if it was alive, is surprising and amazing. These are all secondary, the important thing is that this one was given by a little ginseng doll.
"Yes, I like it." Qi Yan's happy mood was evident from his tone.
"Your Highness likes it." Luo Rao's heart was also half relieved, thinking that it was time to leave, so she said goodbye and left the Qin Palace.
After Luo Rao left, Suifeng found the handkerchief dropped by Miss Luo San, he made a handkerchief, and was about to put it away and hand it to His Highness, but suddenly noticed by a smell.
He leaned close to the handkerchief and sniffed it, and his heart was even more strange, "How can there be a smell of ginger?" ”
