Chapter 44: The Garden (1)
On the second day, after a few days of continuous drizzle, the blue sky was like a wash, and the spring was bright.
Xuanwu Yicheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, changed out of the gorgeous robe he loved in the past, and wore a pure white robe rarely, looking very clear and handsome.
Qi Niang sat on the opposite side, carefully swept her eyes and half-lowered her eyelids, but she couldn't stop muttering in her heart: What about the pure white gown, after all, it is difficult to hide its demonic nature.
It was said that it was a garden, but as soon as he entered the pear orchard, he walked only a hundred steps, Xuanwu Yicheng chose a pavilion and sat down, ordered another table of banquets, dispersed the attendants, and tasted the pear blossom white leisurely by himself.
Qi Niang's eyebrows frowned slightly, but she really didn't know what her intentions were.
Yesterday, she temporarily made up the information of King Xuan, in addition to his miserable life and the favor of the Holy Queen Mother, I learned more about how he was pampered and presumptuous, how absurd, how domineering, in addition, it was also emphasized by Granny Chensu, King Xuan has always been moody and unpredictable.
Last night, my grandmother also repeatedly told her that no matter what happened today, in addition to protecting herself, she must remember not to be angry with him, and to act humbly.
She also thought about it carefully, no matter how she said it, King Xuan took the initiative to save herself twice before and after, she couldn't shirk this kindness, and as for her offense for many days, she also desperately didn't want this to become the source of King Xuan's anger with her.
After all, if you want to live a stable life, it is very important to settle the royal family.
In today's ancient society, there is no so-called law of citizenship, and you don't have any law to protect your own interests.
"The little woman has offended King Xuan a lot recently, and today I ask the prince for guilt." Qi Niang thought about it, it was better to take the initiative to ask for guilt, she knelt down and had a sincere attitude.
Xuanwu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he had indeed sent many attendants to Changfeng Hall recently, firstly to understand the movements in the mansion, but secondly, to facilitate his own actions.
The people who followed him all the year round were not from the north to Xuanwu Kingdom.
"Seven Ladies are too worried, you have successfully rescued the Duchess of the Kingdom and are the heroes of the Great Yue Kingdom, what is the crime?" He replied with a smile and motioned for Qi Niang to get up.
Grandmother is the Duchess of the Imperial Gift, according to the practice of this country, the success of the treatment can indeed be regarded as meritorious, but she still does not dare to get up.
"The prince doesn't blame Qi Niang for being generous, but the little woman is uneasy in her heart. Although the prince and Qi Niang only have a few faces, they are more kind to save each other, Qi Niang is young and ignorant, but the great kindness of the prince is not forgotten in his life. She said emotionally, and couldn't help but crawl down.
Lower your posture, be humble and polite, first bow your head and admit your mistakes and strike first, and then thank Dai De for moving his feelings, I don't believe that King Xuan is still angry.
Xuanwu Yicheng frowned, he has never liked these false courtesies, why does this girl seem to be on a bar with him today, it is good to plead and bow down, how boring!
"Seventh lady, let's get up and reply, it's really tiring to look like this." Again, he stressed.
Although Qi Niang was surprised, she didn't postpone it anymore. Spring is rainy, this pavilion floor tiles are mostly wet and cold, just kneeling is a helpless move, if you don't know how to kneel, it is asking for hardship.
No, she just sat down, but the guy on the other side couldn't bear it anymore.
"It's nothing to save the lady, since the lady keeps saying that she can't forget the king's saving grace, then my Xuanwu Yicheng is not welcome." King Xuan smiled treacherously.
She was speechless all of a sudden, what kind of pit did she dig for herself!
"It's not a big deal, the lady only needs to help the king three times."
"The prince has great ability, and Qi Niang is a woman, but I am afraid that I have more than enough heart and not enough strength." She gritted her teeth and pushed away. I don't know what a good thing it is at a glance, and there is still room for negotiation now, and it is best to cut the price, so as not to cry and grab the ground in the future, and I can only moth to the fire.
"Don't worry, since this king said that he asked you to help, it must be within the power of the lady, my Xuanwu Yicheng has never liked the difficulties of strong people."
Don't like the difficulty of being strong?
Qi Niang's white eyes, is this guy embarrassed to speak?
I'm afraid that others are afraid of your identity and background and have to do it reluctantly.
"I don't know what three things are there?" She stubbornly asked, "Please also ask the prince to tell me, the little girl will complete it as soon as possible, but she has a wish." ”
King Xuan put down the wine glass and took out a veil from his arms, which she recognized at a glance, it was the double-sided embroidered veil of green cicada wings and flowers and pears that had been mortgaged in the hands of Shopkeeper Yu many days ago.
Surprise flashed in the corner of her eye, it seemed that King Xuan had been following her for several days.
"This veil is very fond of this king, and after more inquiry, I learned that it was embroidered by the maid next to the lady in her spare time, and the first thing is to hope that the lady will cut her love to the king." King Xuan said lightly.
"But......" she hesitated.
"Don't worry, lady, this king has already paid a full amount of money, and those who want to come to the shopkeeper will not come to trouble you." The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, "However, to this day, as a lady, the shopkeeper Yu who wants to come to Yujinfang does not dare to complain." ”
At this point, what else does she have to say, it's a pity that Banxiang's craftsmanship was kept, and she originally wanted to keep it for the girl as a souvenir, after all, it was the first proudly made in Banxiang's life.
"As for the rest, this king can't think of it for a while." King Xuan poured wine for Qi Niang, "The coming day is long, but I am not in a hurry at this time, today's rare weather is good, and the scenery is excellent, the lady should drink this cup to live up to this trip." ”
Qi Niang hadn't woken up from the sentence "The coming day is long", and she was forced to take the pear blossom white, she didn't have time to postpone, and King Xuan had already raised the wine glass and drank it all.
It would be disrespectful for her to shirk it any longer.
Needless to say, she drank it all, but she didn't want this wine to be very soft and delicate, not at all spicy and exciting as she imagined, but there was a pear blossom sweetness, and the taste was really good.
In her previous life, although she didn't say "wine on the battlefield", she had also tasted all the world's famous wines, and she was a person who often went to major wineries and bars across the country with her family and friends, and she was half a figure in the circle, so now she is really okay with this little light.
Xuanwu Yicheng fixed his eyes and looked at it, he was overjoyed, and he was busy filling the two of them again.
So, until noon, the two were still drinking wine and gossiping.
Xu is the subtle role of pear blossom white, Qi Niang changed the humility and restraint of Fang Cai, and talked and laughed with Xuanwu Yicheng with a calm expression. Because of his request, he was still called the "Fourth Son" in private.
"I'm not the prince of Da Yue Kingdom, but the emperor's uncle is raising his love, and I'm just bearing this false name in vain." He thought of the past, and his expression was somewhat gloomy, "No one else knows, I have three sisters, and I am also ranked fourth in Xuanwu." ”
This is...... Explaining to yourself?
Qi Niang gave King Xuan a full offer, but she didn't know how to answer.
That bloody and bloody past, she was embarrassed for a long time yesterday, and she couldn't imagine that King Xuan, who was so chic and wanton on the surface, was also a pitiful person.
The pavilion surrounded by the black pear is so quiet, the sun begins to turn west, and the sunlight is slightly inclined from the corner of the pavilion, which is called the elegance of the man in white.
At this time, it is spring in April, the pear blossoms of thousands of trees in the garden are full of branches, under the sun, the breeze hits, and the pure white flowers dance because of the wind, fluttering and sprinkling, so not wanton and happy!
"Do you know about Murray Blossom?" King Xuan asked with a smile, "The ink pear blossom is also known as the ancient love flower, it is your mother's favorite flower during her lifetime, it is rumored that when General Changfeng smiled for the beauty, he personally planted these thousands of ink pear trees, just for the season when the flowers bloom every year, you can stay under the ink pear blossom tree with your lover, and look forward to growing old together." ”
"It's a pity that although the black pear tree blooms in spring and autumn, it is often flowered without leaves and leaves without flowers. Xuanwu Yicheng looked at the magnificent scene of flowers and snow outside the pavilion, and it was difficult to hide the loss between words.
Qi Niang is slightly stunned, ink pear love flower, rare all the time?
